From traffic to movie star

Chapter 105 The Times Create Heroes

During the Christmas season, Wei Xun dominated the trending searches again, gaining a lot of attention.

Because he can be called the decathlon ability.

Since the release of "Wu Wen Xi Dong", Times Pictures and Huaying Media have been vigorously promoting their own people, and very tacitly ignored Wei Xun, who contributed the most to this film.

But now that Wei Xun's supervising director on the set has been exposed, even for the box office of the movie, Huaying Media and Times Pictures have to work hard to promote Wei Xun.

Therefore, Wei Xun, who can hold several roles in the crew, is equipped with the movie "Wuwen Xidong", and he has become the most eye-catching actor in this Christmas schedule.

After all, people are always more tolerant and respectful of truly talented people.

But online marketing alone is not enough. To completely dispel the doubts of the audience, it also needs the recognition and voice of the professional field.

So that afternoon, Wei Xun accepted an exclusive interview with [Film Youth] magazine.

This magazine called Film Youth has a history of more than 20 years and has a very authoritative position and a good reputation in the industry.

What's more worth mentioning is that, just like the name of its magazine, Film Youth has been committed to discovering talented young filmmakers.

The location of Wei Xun's interview this time was set in a quiet teahouse, and Zhuo Yan, the editor-in-chief of Film Youth, came to do the interview in person.

After the two parties greeted and sat down, Zhuo Yan looked at Wei Xun and joked, "You look different from what I imagined."

The Wei Xun in front of him is handsome and handsome, with a calm demeanor, which is indeed far from his greasy image in bad movies.

No wonder Zhuo Yan was surprised after meeting the real Wei Xun.

Wei Xun said with a smile: "If I am the same as you imagined, then I think I should play Ba Xianzun in a film like "Penglai" now, instead of sitting here and accepting interviews with film youth."

Zhuo Yan immediately followed suit with a smile: "But you are indeed sitting here now, and I am honored to be here for your exclusive interview."

While speaking, Zhuo Yan asked the staff to turn on the camera and recording pen, and then put the notebook on the table by himself, explaining: "It's just for the convenience of recording our conversation, don't feel restrained."

Wei Xun nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"Actually, a reporter from the newspaper office was going to interview you today, but I watched "Wu Wen Xi Dong" yesterday, and I really like the story of this movie, so I came by myself."

Zhuo Yan asked curiously: "I heard that you are not only the screenwriter, but also the director of this movie, so what is the role of director Qi Jibai?"

"No, no, this is all misrepresented by the outside world. In fact, Director Qi is a very good director. I am just helping him."

Wei Xun hastily denied it, and then said: "You know, after all, I am the screenwriter of "Wuwen Xidong", and some pictures I imagined in my mind wanted to be passed on to Director Qi, so it caused some misunderstandings and made people feel uncomfortable. Thought I had taken over the directorship."

Zhuo Yan said with a smile: "But in a film crew, not everyone has the ability to help the director, right? And I've even watched the video of your decathlon on the Internet."

Wei Xun also laughed: "It's all just fooling around on my own, and I can't get on the stage. If you continue to praise me, I will feel ashamed and flustered. Let's talk about "Wuwen Xidong"."

"Yes, speaking of this movie, yesterday's first day box office was 2700 million. The industry predicts that it can break through [-] million in three days. After more than a month of release, it may have a box office of [-] million."

Zhuo Yan said in amazement: "It's really unbelievable that a literary film can achieve such impressive results, and you are the screenwriter, starring role, and even half of the director of this film. What do you think of "Wuwen Xidong" "Where is the success of this film?"

Wei Xun spread his hands: "In fact, now we only have its first-day box office, and all other predictions are just predictions, so this question, I think when "Wuwen Xidong" really reaches that height, I will not be able to do it." qualified to answer you."

"If you're like this, it's hard for us to talk about it." Zhuo Yan pretended to complain, "I've been trying my best to praise you, but I'm always in a hurry to shirk it, which makes me have the illusion that I'm actually looking for faults."

Wei Xun said with a smile: "No, no, I'm just... I was afraid of being scolded before, but now I finally have some insignificant achievements, so I don't dare to be ashamed, and to be honest, it's nothing to be praised."

The former traffic guard, he was subject to all kinds of cyber attacks for every word and deed.

"Okay, then let's change the subject and talk about the movie itself as you wish. Can you talk about the thoughts that this movie wants to convey to the audience without spoiling it?"

Zhuo Yan nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then asked: "To be honest, my eyes were wet watching it in the cinema, and I was very moved, but I couldn't find the exact words to describe some of my thoughts for a while."

"Well, how should I put it, although these four stories are in different time and space, but everyone's relationship is connected together. They have risen and fallen in the torrent of the times, and each has its own responsibility. Inheritance, and transmission of spirit."

Wei Xun said seriously: "Every character in the movie is listening to their own hearts. When they are hit, they can remember their own preciousness, so as to resist the malice of the outside world. When they lose their way, they can also Believe in your own preciousness, love what you love, do what you do, only ask about the way forward, and don't ask about east and west."

"Love what you love, do what you do, only ask about the way forward, not about the east and west. Now I finally know why you can write such a touching story."

Zhuo Yan's eyes lit up, he chewed on this sentence, this time he was really impressed with Wei Xun: "It is precisely because of this seriousness and persistence that a literary and artistic film like "Wuwen Xidong" has a box office hit. Word-of-mouth has a double harvest. And you have also proved to the industry with your practical actions that as long as there is sincerity, literary films can also seize the box office market."

"Of course, Director Qi, Sister Zhai Qing, and Du Zhou carefully filmed "Wuwen Xidong", but the reason why it has achieved some success is also related to this good film environment."

Wei Xun said with a smile: "Many film seniors have worked hard to create the market and created a good era where hundreds of flowers are blooming, so we dare not take credit for it. We can only say that we are standing on the shoulders of our predecessors and have really caught up with us." Good time."

Look at what he said, it's really humble and decent.

Zhuo Yan was really convinced this time.

A young actor in his early twenties, whose reputation has improved just now, and has achieved such impressive results, not only does he not have the slightest flamboyance, but he is extraordinarily sober, with calm and humility in every word and deed.

No wonder it can successfully transform from traffic, everything makes sense.

In this interview, Zhuo Yan had a good impression of Wei Xun.

So the next day, Film Youth released such a report:
The times make heroes, Wei Xun is humble and grateful to the seniors in the industry, and deeply analyzes the movie "Wuwen Xidong", love what you love, do what you do, only ask the way forward, don't ask Xidong.
