Chapter 567 Trip to Tokyo
After the morning press conference, after lunch and rest, Ning Sheng and Emma accepted joint interviews from three Tokyo news media in the afternoon. After the photo session, they came to the question-and-answer session. Behind the three reporters seats in the room, in the camera, Ning Sheng and Emma are sitting behind a long table, on which there are simply three microphones, mineral water and other items.

"Director Ning, can you predict how much box office "Rage Rescue" will eventually get in RB? What's your expectation?"

Because there are only three to remember, during the question and answer session, everyone will not be as chaotic and crowded as in the morning, and because of the absence of Xiaoye Fan, the questions of the three reporters can be concentrated on Ning Cheng and his wife, especially Ning Cheng. Sheng was the one who received the most attention. At this time, the male reporter from Tokyo Entertainment asked another question, which was also the current focus. What kind of expectations would Huaxia's talented director have in RB?In order for both of Ning Cheng and Ning Cheng to understand, the official female translator arranged by Han Tang Film and Television immediately spoke in clear Japanese.

"Of course I expect the higher the better. No one thinks too much at the box office. Especially now that it has been released for almost half a month and the results are very good." Ning Cheng smiled and answered a cunning answer. With a smile, the thin and long-faced male reporter refused to let go and asked with a smile: "Can you say a goal?" Ning Cheng thought for a while, there is no need to say those words now, and said with a smile: "I hope I can surpass myself! If Naturally, I am even happier that I can break the box office record of my previous works in RB!"

This is obviously not the answer the reporters want, like "Titanic", which is the highest-grossing record in RB's history, is. However, Ning Sheng itself is a hot news, and it doesn't matter whether he has these eye-catching content or not.Another female reporter from a daily newspaper got a chance to ask questions, she got up with a microphone and asked, "Mr. Ning, you said just now that 'the box office is too much', is this what you most want to get when you come to RB this time? "

Looking at her serious face, Ning Cheng was slightly taken aback. What she meant was, "Did you come to RB for the box office and making money?" He couldn't help laughing, but he wasn't angry at all. Incidents create news, for example, a reporter in Los Angeles asked him "Do you want to challenge their Spielberg" topic.In any case, these are very impolite ways of asking questions, and he can choose not to answer them; but for this question, he doesn't want to be as if he defaulted.

Because of the historical reasons between Huaxia and RB, the media and people of the two countries are somewhat sensitive to each other's news.However, there are still some media who wish to throw bombs on the heads of the two countries, and always use various opportunities and methods to provoke provocations. Ning Cheng will not care about these at that time. Now Huaxia has never paid attention to RB, just as a As a public figure, Ning Sheng still has to estimate some influence, so he can't be too capricious.

"Did I say it wrong? As far as the sentence itself is concerned, 'no one thinks too much at the box office', did I say it wrong?" Ning Cheng smiled and asked the female reporter. There was a chuckle.Ning Sheng didn't mean to attack anyone, and said seriously: "The box office represents a lot, one of which is the audience's love for the movie—"

Emma next to him felt dissatisfied for him. The atmosphere of this interview was originally pleasant, but this question was too much.Even people who don’t know much about the film industry now know that if it’s purely for the box office, from a commercial point of view, there are the two largest markets in the world, China and North America, as well as the box office of other countries in Europe and Asia. The RB market is really not that important to Ning Sheng, after all, RB is not China, nor is it the United States!

"I came to RB this time for publicity, and also to meet my fans and everyone, it's that simple!"

The media meeting is over, and the crew's publicity work is coming to an end soon, but his and Emma's personal schedules don't end so soon!After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he ignored the female reporter, looked at the reporters who were busy taking notes, and said with a smile, "Next question!" waste time! ——
"Yesterday afternoon, a symposium was held at the Tokyo Film Academy. Huaxia talented director Ning Sheng had a dialogue with two famous directors from my country, Higashi Yebayashi and Iwai Zaki, to discuss the future of RB movies and the industry——"

Many newspapers and online media are scrambling to report on the situation of this symposium. The content focuses on different things, and the pictures used are all three directors taking a group photo in front of the "Fire and Rescue" poster. Standing in the middle with a smile on his face, Higashi Yerin's face was paralyzed, and Iwai Sagi stood on both sides with a cold expression, so many people felt a strange feeling.

A young handsome guy and two rustic middle-aged men, the tall handsome guy is the most successful genius director in the world, a representative of the new generation of directors in China, and one of the most influential directors in the world today, And --- Higashi Yebayashi and Iwai Sagi, the two big RB domestic directors, seem to have suddenly become learning characters who want to gain experience and get "secrets" in anime.

"Ning Sheng commented on Dong Yelin's new work "Runaway", which has exquisite graphics but weak content." After reprinted reports by Tokyo Entertainment and other media, the camp criticizing "Runaway" has gained another heavyweight member, but it is not as good as before. RB was bombarded by other domestic directors and media people, but praised the words "amazing" in terms of the color of the lens.

RB online film critic Ichiro Miki commented: "When making this kind of evaluation, foreigners usually only praise but not criticize. There is no 'but' part, Ning Sheng is considered honest!"

Oshima Ayane said: "Mr. Ning Cheng didn't say he was dead, he already gave Dong Yelin a lot of face!"——
"Ning Cheng advises RB movies not to blindly imitate China's ancient costume martial arts, saying that it is very dangerous.", "Make a good film of your own characteristics.", "Let RB audiences like it before talking about going abroad.", "Ning Sheng I hope that RB will have more outstanding filmmakers, and work together for Asian films.” ——
As soon as the content of these conversations appeared on the pages of the Internet media, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from netizens. Watanabe Junko said: "Seeing Ning Sheng's filming of "Dragon Inn" and "Swordsman" became popular all over Asia, Dong Yelin Just jumped in, but you have to shoot well! "Taosha" is a mess, I hope his new work "Ninjutsu" will be better! Otherwise, I will never watch RB's martial arts movies again. I would rather watch those old Chinese movies!"

Shota followed up and said: "It's better to look forward to Iwai Sagi than to look forward to Higashino Lin, but I hope he doesn't follow suit." ---
Some people objected to Ning Sheng's point of view. Shizuko Matsushita said: "Our ninjas in ancient costumes are like Chinese martial arts and North American science fiction. Why don't we make them?" It should be diversified, and the filming must satisfy our domestic satisfaction first.”

These views have been unanimously endorsed by netizens. How can there be any local films with "characteristics of the times and cultural temperament" in the market now?They are all boring and cliche, mocking the audience's IQ, not to mention the connotation.

Of course, it would be wrong to say that RB has not made films with profound connotations, but the box office of those literary films is really unspeakable.Over the years, watching Huaxia movies is worth billions at every turn, and billions are jumping upwards. The filmmakers of RB really can't see it, and they are so anxious that they are going crazy!

At the end of the symposium, Ning Sheng, Higashino Lin, and Iwai Shunji all expressed their experience in filmmaking to the directing students.Dong Yelin said: "I used to be very introverted, but since I became a director, now I have become a chatterbox and a long-winded person. You have to talk every day, and sometimes at the end of the day, you want to come back and slap your own mouth. Do you think I have said so many words?"

He also said: "The director is to convey the thoughts of this movie in his heart, such as color, light, performance, etc., to your team, so that everyone can understand. I agree with Director Ning on this point. With sufficient funds, it is not difficult to find excellent talents and advanced technology, the most important thing is how to make them understand, and they turn this understanding into their own professional performance to help you complete this movie."

In addition, Ning Sheng said: "Encourage your team more. Making a movie is like fighting a war. Morale is very important. A team with high morale will be favored by the goddess of luck. In a crew, the director is like Just like the generals in ancient times, if you want to lead them to victory, you must first be confident and confident! How you treat your subordinates on weekdays, when you go to the battlefield, what kind of feedback will your subordinates give you!"

Kuroki Kuno, a user of the RB professional film review website, commented: "Steven Spielberg in the United States also said: 'For a movie to succeed, 8% lies in communication, and 2% lies in technology.' It seems that those directors are talking chatter!"

Fujita said: "Ning Sheng said in the interview that he talked more than usual when he was filming. In the crew, he could even talk for days and nights."

Ishida Miko followed up and said: "I really hope that my boyfriend is also a director, so I won't be afraid that I won't have anything to say to me."

Saburo Kimura said: "I'm a man, but I just like Ning Sheng, it's like hugging him!"——
On some local entertainment forums in Tokyo, there were also some posts reporting the situation of Ning Sheng's fan meeting. Last night, the meeting was held at the hotel where Ning Cheng and the others stayed. Fans posted many pictures of the scene, some Ning Sheng spoke with a microphone, buried himself in signing posters and other items, and accepted gifts from fans.

In the picture, he is smiling and showing presents, including stuffed dolls, a large cartoon in a wooden frame, on which his cartoon image is drawn, and the albums and posters of Ning Sheng's former singer——
"Ning Sheng is really very easy-going!" The poster, Edo Mise, also revealed in a few group photos during the process of posting the picture, which one is herself, a tall girl with an average appearance. She wrote: "And those interview ceremonies Same, he is very humorous and likes to make jokes. He has no pretensions at all. He speaks Mandarin very well. I asked him in English, can I give him a hug, and he said, "This question waits until his wife, Emma Roberts, is not around. We'll talk about it later. 'It was fun! But I ended up giving him a big hug! Even with Emma watching!"

Looking at those group photos and big group photos, seeing them happily surrounding Ning Cheng, every movie fan was very envious, Asagi Nanako followed up and yelled: "I actually shook hands with Ning Cheng, and when I asked for a hug, I was rejected and forced to hug her!" I missed him——Life’s ups and downs are too fast, it’s really exciting!!”

And the questions that the Fan Club had collected in various forums were also given to Ning Cheng last night, and most of them had answers.First, some non-nutritive questions and answers, favorite food: Huaxia vegetables; favorite fruit: green apple --- then some ordinary or weird questions, "What is your favorite musical instrument?" The answer is: " Guitar, piano and erhu." "Who is your favorite European and American singer?" The answer is: "Michael Jackson." ---
In a bright and spacious studio, the auditorium that can accommodate hundreds of people is full of young people. The stage they are looking at is decorated in a simple and elegant manner. On the white sand in the middle, Ning Sheng and several people in a shirt and jeans sit, It is recording a program.

When the RB trip was confirmed before, Ning Sheng was required to appear on at least one RB national TV show. Ning Sheng saw that Emma had accepted a lot of jobs in Tokyo, so he simply stayed with her for a few more days, So I agreed.

This time it was not just a news report like "Entertainment Live", Hantang Film and Television contacted TV Tokyo, and the other party naturally wanted it, all character interviews, art and entertainment programs were at his disposal.However, Ning Cheng picked and picked, but he didn't pick one.

It was too spoof and funny, and he was not interested in some relatively childish variety shows; as for the key interview and talk shows, after watching some clips and materials, he found that he didn't like the style of the show and the style of the host.He wanted a loose, laid-back, but funny-talking show that could serve the purpose of promoting "Rage and Rescue" and be light-hearted.

Then a genius from TV Tokyo came up with an idea. He told Ning Sheng that he could arrange a special program called "Ning Cheng has a date with you", and he would make a relaxing talk show according to the style he wanted.

Both Ning Sheng and the TV station agreed, and the current Ning Sheng is the guarantee of the ratings. Watching the previous Tokyo entertainment programs, as long as there are reports about Ning Sheng, the ratings will increase a lot in an instant.So special planning is special planning!But it can't be broadcast live, lest there be any accidents in this temporary program!
Even though there is a version of the show on TV during prime time in the evening, there is certainly no inappropriate content.

"Hi, everyone! I'm Ning Sheng, here is Ning Sheng and you have a date!"

There was applause immediately in the studio, and the audience laughed and clapped their hands. Some of them were ordinary students in ordinary clothes, who rushed in for tickets; The students of Tokyo Film Academy who have listened to a symposium—and what they have in common is that they love Ning Sheng and Ning Sheng's movies, so they are very interested in this live recording.
