Entertainment upstart

Chapter 291 Formation of the Vortex Storm
At the press conference in the Convention and Exhibition Center, nearly a hundred entertainment journalists sat under the stage, some with laptops on their laps, and some with voice recorders.

There are photojournalists with various cameras in the aisle and the back row.

Zhou Xia and the seven main creators of "Charlotte Annoyance" were sitting on the stage, being interviewed.

From the first question, the smell of gunpowder was very strong.

After the hostess said she could raise her hand to ask questions, a gentleman reporter wearing glasses stood up.

"Hello, Zhou Xia. I'm a reporter from Nandu Entertainment. Excuse me, are you filming "Charlotte's Annoyance" or "Charlotte Pretends to Be Ugly". Your image does not match the image of Charlotte in the novel. Your own Playing Charlotte reluctantly, isn't it afraid of ruining the movie, and book fans protest?"

The question was straightforward, and all the entertainment journalists in the audience nodded secretly, agreeing with this colleague in their hearts, and focused on Zhou Xia on the stage.

Without changing his face, Zhou Xia picked up a microphone from the table in front of him and looked at the reporter calmly.

"This reporter's question is very good. I believe many people have this question. Before answering, I would like to ask everyone, have you read the new version of "Journey to the West?"

"Look!"

"Look!"

"I did not see"

Most of the reporters in the audience responded that they had watched it, and only a few said they hadn't.

Zhou Xia directly ignored those individual people, "Just look at it, then which version of Zhu Bajie do you think is more like a pig demon? Which version of Tang Seng is more in line with the image of Tang Xuanzang in history? Is it the same? Which version "Journey to the West" do you like more?"

Zhou Xia's answer was over, and the court was quiet.

He continued: "So, the film and television adaptation of literary works is often a dilemma. Grasping its connotation and conforming to the perception of most audiences is the most important thing!

I am the author of the original work, and I will not spoil my work. As for pretending to be ugly, it is useless to say more now. Everyone will watch it in the theater and understand the effect I want to present. Next! "

"Hi Director Zhou, I'm a reporter from NetEase Entertainment, may I ask if it's true that "Charlotte Annoyance" will be inserted into four comedy movies on February 2st?

Some people say that you are just bluffing, attracting attention, and promoting this movie. You will definitely not set a date on that day, and foolishly challenge the entire xj entertainment circle. What do you think about this? "

"Four xj comedy movies? The entire xj entertainment circle? Did you fail to do your homework, or did you deliberately generalize?"

Zhou Xia couldn't help but laugh, looking at this incendiary female reporter amusedly.

"Isn't it? The producers and directors of these four films include Huang Baiming, Chen Kexin, Zhong Shujia, Gu Dezhao and other well-known filmmakers in the Chinese entertainment industry; Wu Junru, Zhang Bozhi, Gu Zai, Zeng Zhipu, Du Wenzhi, Xiong Dailing and many other xj stars, half of xj entertainment is here, can't they represent it?"

The female reporter continued to question unceremoniously.

Zhou Xia suddenly felt a little displeased, and said seriously: "Again, it's three xj comedy movies, not four! "I Know Women's Hearts" was invested and released by Berner. Except for the male protagonist Hua Ge and the female protagonist Gong Huang, the rest of the main creators , the director Chen Daming and most of the supporting roles are from the mainland, this is not an xj movie!

You are not ready for this homework, but you can be so confident, our company will not let you go, and you will be deducted half a month's salary when you go back. You can represent the image of the company when you come out! "

As soon as Zhou Xia's serious words fell, all the reporters in the audience felt murderous, so they became careful and checked their questions carefully.

The female reporter blushed, but she still said stubbornly: "Even so, the three comedy movies, with more than 20 xj stars, can represent the xj entertainment circle, right? You will really set a date on February 2st and challenge them ?"

"Hehe, you're really going all out. Could it be that your idol is among those celebrities? Or is it just to break the news that you've reached the point of talking nonsense?"

Zhou Xia sneered, and some entertainment journalists with special purposes in the audience immediately felt like a light on their backs.

It is very unprofessional for a reporter to bring personal emotions and feelings into an interview. Zhou Xia's words are not only mocking the female reporter for being unprofessional, but also mocking that the other party may have other purposes.

"Zhou Xia, I protest. You are attacking me personally and insulting me!" the female reporter protested.

"Hehe, I personally attacked and insulted you? It's funny! Let me ask you, three xj comedy movies, more than [-] xj stars, there are quite a lot of people, but can they represent the xj entertainment circle? They can at most On behalf of xj comedy movies!"

Zhou Xia was also angry, her voice raised, she became more serious, and said unceremoniously to the female reporter: "According to you, what are xj's most famous martial arts movies, gangster movies, and horror ghost movies?
Xu Ke, Wang Sunglasses, Wu Baige, Du Qifeng, Xu Anhua, Guan Jinpeng, Wang Jing and other xj famous directors; Zhou Runfa, Liang Chaowei, Liu Qingyun, Zhang Manyu and other xj superstars, what are they?
Who is the mainstay of xj movies?Who is the representative of xj movies, do I need to say more?You don't look for problems from yourself, but you confront me tit for tat everywhere. I will report you to the Journalists Association. I very much suspect that you do this on purpose and have other purposes. "

After Zhou Xia finished speaking in a cold voice, she looked at Duan Peishan next to her, "Remember this!"

"Okay, boss." Duan Peishan agreed.

The reporters off the field, including Sisi and Yang Xiaohu on stage, were surprised that Zhou Xia would be so tough.

All of a sudden, the entire press conference became noisy, and several reporters even stood up to protest against Zhou Xia's arrogance.

"Quiet, quiet, is there anyone asking questions?" The host came out to maintain order in the venue.

The female reporter was trembling with anger, sat down and stopped talking.

A male reporter who supported her just now said first: "Zhou Xia, please answer the question just now, will "Charlotte Annoyance" be scheduled for February 2st!"

"Do you think I will be like your colleague, so unprofessional? Say I'm bluffing, then everyone will wait and see if our movie will be changed! Alright, next one!"

After Zhou Xia finished speaking, he ignored those reporters and looked at the other reporters.

Some reporters who were ready to make a move, did not expect Zhou Xia to be so tough today. Thinking of what happened to the female reporter, they all became cautious, waited and watched the situation, and did not rush to ask questions.

"Director Zhou, I'm a reporter from Xin Jing Bao. May I ask what your original intention for making this movie is, and what do you expect for the box office of this movie." A newspaper reporter immediately asked.

What was the original intention of making a film?For the sake of fame and fortune, and to make a career, such big truths must not be told.

Zhou Xia smiled officially: "The purpose of writing this novel is the same as mine, I still want to share this touching story with more people, recall youth, and cherish love.

As for box office expectations, I have never paid attention to such things, just like I never pay attention to sales when I write books. A few days ago, my agent told me that all my books have sold 300 million copies. I know that everyone likes what I write so much.

The same goes for this youth comedy movie. I hope it will bring happiness and touch to more people, and win everyone's love. These are the most important things.As for the box office of the movie, let it take its course, I hope everyone will support it, our movie is suitable for all ages during the Spring Festival, and it is as indispensable as the dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner! "

"Hi Sisi, I'm a reporter from Sohu Entertainment. Many of my netizens expressed doubts about your acting skills, thinking that your experience and acting skills are not enough to support you in shaping the role of Ma Dongmei. What do you think of this point of view?"

When Sisi heard this question, she glanced at Zhou Xia, who had already woken her up on the plane.

Sisi stared squarely at the reporter, "The profession of our actors is to play various roles. This is our professional expertise. There is no problem in this aspect. It is not necessary to experience everything before you can understand it. As for acting skills, I believe in myself. , I also believe in the vision of the director team, they must have recognized my strength when they chose me."

"Hello, Yang Xiaohu, it is rumored that after the start of the production, your crew experienced a change of roles. You changed from the first female lead to the second female lead. Do you think this is fair to you? Why didn't you terminate the contract with the crew? , but accepted the change?"

"It's not rumored, there is indeed such a thing, but the decision to change roles is made by our entire creative team, I also participated in the vote, there is nothing unfair, it's just who is more suitable.

As for the female first and female second, it doesn't mean much to me. We all work together to create a high-quality youth comedy movie, which is the goal of our entire creative team! "

Yang Xiaohu replied concisely to the reporter.

Answering one question after another, several main creators on the stage found that there seemed to be few friendly media in today's media, and they were all questioning and provocative questions.

"Director, hello, I'm a fan of your book, just now you said that you did your homework when the movie was scheduled for February 2st, so may I ask why you made this decision?

As a semi-professional, I can't see that this schedule has any advantages for your film, but you have to bear various pressures. I believe that you have already felt everyone's questioning attitude from the questions of my colleagues today. I hope You were able to answer my questions candidly. "

After the reporter finished speaking, some of the reporters off the court let out a low laugh.

Zhou Xia and the main creators on the stage also smiled, and the main creators such as Sisi and Yang Xiaohu also looked at Zhou Xia, not quite understanding why Zhou Xia did this.

"Thank you for your question. It seems that you are indeed a fan of my book, and you are very worried about our movie."

Zhou Xia continued: "It's a pity that this involves commercial secrets, so I can't go into details. I can only tell you that I have confidence in our movies, and I firmly believe that our movies are more in line with the tastes of mainland audiences. Okay, please media Friends, ask more questions about other creators, don't just ask me one."

Zhou Xia didn't want to talk about the specific reasons, but with such a confident expression, there was nothing the media could do if they were dissatisfied, so they could only interview other main creators instead.

Ask Zhao Xiaoding the reason for cooperating with Zhou Xia, whether the cooperation is pleasant, ask other supporting actors about various interesting stories about the crew, inquire about the relationship between Zhou Xia, Sisi, and Yang Xiaohu, etc.

After the two-and-a-half-hour interview, the staff of Xiahua Video Network played the 45-second leading trailer with the projector.

It was Zhou Xia who broke the glass and buried his head in the washbasin. Then the camera changed. He pushed open the door of the high school classroom. As if going back in time, he saw the astonished high school classmates and teachers.

Although it is only a few tens of seconds, the main characters in the movie are basically presented on the screen, which can be regarded as an explanation to all audiences and keeps them in suspense.

And with Zhou Xia confirming that the schedule will be set after February 2st, those who had previously waited and watched also expressed their opinions on Weibo and the Internet.

All kinds of debates on the Internet about Zhou Xia's desire to challenge the xj comedy movie quickly spread.

The directors, producers, and actors of those films also joined in, expressing their own opinions on Zhou Xia's actions.

All of a sudden, on the Internet and in private, from fans to stars, to directors, producers, etc., the entire Chinese entertainment industry is discussing the matter of enthusiasm.
