Chapter 396 Dealing with the media, still so strong

"The filming of the new movie will start soon. As for the box office, let's make a good movie first, and then talk about it."

Zhou Xia looked at the reporters in the audience, and replied helplessly, judging by the meaning, it is estimated that few people asked about the film festival.

"Director Zhou, can you tell me about the new movie? Is it a youth comedy?"

"It's a comedy, but it's not a youth comedy. The new movie is more fun, with detective, reasoning and other elements. It will start filming at the end of next month. Please wait for my specific news."

"Director Zhou, just now you said that you hope to win the title of 'Most Popular Director' next year. Director Feng also said something similar. Do you think you can beat him?"

"I don't need to say this? So many college students are willing to buy tickets to support my movie, so they won't vote for me to lose to others next year, right?"

Zhou Xia smiled slightly, it is still necessary to be very graceful at this time.

"Some time ago, when the box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" exceeded 10 billion, Director Feng said that the film was very mediocre, and it was all due to signing a rebate agreement with the theater to obtain high box office for high-ranking films. Do you have any response?"

Zhou Xia looked at the reporter, then at the little steel cannon who was being interviewed on the other interview platform dozens of meters away, and said speechlessly: "It must be a rumor. How could Director Feng say such an amateur? If the line does not make money, it will schedule our movies?

You go think about the reason for it yourself, I said no amount of it is useless, you can also try to get rebates for other movies, and see how long the theaters will give you to increase the number of movies!Well, stop asking these irrelevant questions. "

"Director Zhou, this is the first time you participated in a major film festival, and you won the award for the most popular actor among college students. I don't know what you want to say about the major film festival. Do you have any expectations and suggestions?"

"Yes, I won the award for the first time I participated. I am very honored. I will definitely come again when I have time and opportunities in the future. The big film festival is now attracting more and more attention from all walks of life and everyone's recognition.

I hope that the big film festival can always stick to its own characteristics and continue to support more young directors and actors. Just like college students, this is a youthful film festival that keeps up with the most active forces of the times.

At present, the big film festival is centered on the imperial capital and radiates across the country. The student judges come from major universities in the country, and the number of participants ranks the highest in the domestic film festival. I hope to stick to these fine traditions and characteristics, so that the big film festival is not just for college students. The film event has also become a youth event for filmmakers, that's all! "

After Zhou Xia finished speaking, the reporters in the audience and the college students present all cheered.

"Director Zhou, I would like to ask you a question about commercial films and art films. What do you think of the relationship between the two? Can they find a good balance, or are they in different fields and cannot be blamed?"

"That's a good question." Zhou Xia became interested, and finally someone asked a serious question.

He looked at the well-mannered young male reporter wearing glasses, "The demands of commercial electronics and art films are different. The former is mainly for profit, catering to the market as much as possible, and pursuing commercial success;
The latter is different. It mainly pursues pure artistic expression, conveys the director's understanding of society and the world, and reflects issues such as reality and ethics.

My personal point of view is that there is no need to find a balance. A good art film can also have a high box office, and a good commercial film can also have a certain artistic expression. Therefore, it is still necessary to grasp the main appeal first, and the other can take into account the most Well, if it doesn't work, don't force it, and don't make it look different.

Of course, the division is not so clear now. There are many art films that operate on a commercial model, and they are actually commercial films. "

"Director Zhou, I heard that you took over Ning Ying's "Painted Skin 2". It is said that the investment is as high as 2.6 million. It will be shot in real 3D. I am looking forward to this movie. I don't know when it will start shooting. The actors only use Xia Are you from Hua?"

Zhou Xia was slightly taken aback when he heard this question, and looked at the long-haired female reporter.

He had thought about this before, and now someone really noticed Xia Hua's habit in this regard.

"Yes, I can only say that the investment is more than 2.6 million. Our magic 3D movie will invite the world's top team to make the best 3D effect. This is only the current approximate budget.

As for the cast of "Painted Skin 2", we haven't decided yet. After all, the script is still being revised. I want to clarify that Xiahua Film and Television is an open film and television company.

In terms of the cast of our company's plays, they come from the mainland, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan, and we didn't say that only our Xia Hua actors are used.As for the most important director in the main creative team, as well as the filming team, many of them are from Xiangjiang and Wanwan, so only using Xia Hua's people is purely a rumor! "

Zhou Xia responded seriously to the other party, this question involves the brand image of Xiahua Film and Television, and everyone should not be biased.

"But the main characters in your Xia Hua's plays are almost all Xia Hua's actors, how do you explain this?"

"I don't need to explain this! For a suitable role, Xia Hua's contracted actor should be chosen first. Otherwise, why would the artists sign Xia Hua? If it is an inappropriate role, I will definitely not insist on using Xia Hua's artist. Take me For the new movie that will start filming next month, the leading actors are Wang Baobao and Huang Bo, they are not from our company!"

Zhou Xia looked at the female reporter looking for trouble, and replied seriously.It is perfectly reasonable for Xia Hua to use his own actors first. Asking this kind of question is purely looking for trouble.

"Wang Baobao and Huang Bo are the leading actors, so why don't you act in this movie?" A male reporter was immediately excited and then asked worriedly.

Wang Baobao and Huang Bo are well-known comedians in China, but Zhou Xia's acting skills and popularity are very high, and he is also liked by many people.

"I will also participate, but it's not just the two comedian stars, there are other actors who surprise you. I'll just keep it a secret. That's it. You can interview other people."

After Zhou Xia finished answering, she looked at the embarrassed Fan Meiniang, Yao Dazui and other winners.

These reporters finally came to their senses, and turned to Fan Meiniang and Yao Dazui in resentment.

Zhou Xia wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but individual reporters came up and interviewed him alone, and he couldn't refuse.

Someone asked him what he thought of the movies "Warring States" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" released this month?
What can Zhou Xia say, how are Bei Jingtian and Liu Tianxian's acting skills now, he doesn't need to say, just deal with it with a few words and it's over.

About ten minutes later, the interview finally ended.

Yao Dazui won the most popular actress, and the reporters asked them to take a group photo with the trophy.

Zhou Xia pretended not to hear, and took a photo with the best actress Fan Meiniang first. Over there, Yao Dazui also pretended not to hear. She is Hua Yi's current actress, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Xia.

The entire interview was over, and it was already 10:30 in the evening.

Zhou Xia bid farewell to Fan Meiniang, just got into the car and let Li Jingwen, the driver's assistant, drive.

The phone rang, and it was a WeChat message from Fan Meiniang: Come back and find me!

Fan Meiniang is still so strong!
After Zhou Xia finished reading it, she felt like being summoned by the Empress to serve her bed, and she was quite speechless.
