Chapter 623 Celebrities face to face

Zhou Xia thought about it, and said tentatively, "Yufei, I won the Golden Lion Award, and you didn't call to congratulate me? I want to come back and celebrate with you."

"Did you just remember it now? People waited for you to call to share your feelings with me as soon as possible. I didn't expect that you haven't called yet!"

"Really, are you angry because of this reason and deliberately waited for me to return to China before sending me a congratulatory message?" Zhou Xia became more and more strange in his heart, as if the so-called United Front was not the same thing.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Liu Yufei's surprised voice came.

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll talk about it when we meet tonight, I have something to do now." Hearing her tone, Zhou Xia understood that there was something strange in it, so she didn't say any more.

After hanging up with Liu Yufei, Zhou Xia was not in a hurry to ask Xiaohu, Sisi, and Yaya about the situation. They were all busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival. The day after tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are not in the imperial capital now. .

At noon, Zhou Xia had dinner at the company, set off at one o'clock, and arrived at Phoenix Satellite TV's Imperial City branch in less than 20 minutes, took the elevator to the outside of the company on the [-]th floor, and saw the host Xu Gehui and several strangers waiting for him up.

It turned out that they were several school leaders and program producers of Phoenix Satellite TV's Imperial City branch.

Zhou Xia shook hands with them one by one to say hello, and entered the company.

This branch is not too big, but it is half a floor in size, covering almost all functional departments.

Zhou Xia, Xu Gehui and others came to the recording studio to have a look. The behind-the-scenes staff had already prepared. According to the arrangement of the program group, Zhou Xia went to the dressing room to do makeup first.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Xia returned to the recording room again, and couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't expect Lu Yu to be there, so he felt a little embarrassed.

Since becoming famous, Zhou Xia has participated in not many interviews and variety shows, but there are dozens of them. Among them, he has never been to the famous "Tell Your Story".

The other party has invited many times, but whether it is to promote movies, TV series, or novels, he has never been there once.

The reason is more of his personal prejudice.

This program has only been on the air for two years, and most of the guests he is interested in have watched, but after watching too much, he finds that it is basically a routine, which is very boring.

This is also the reason why he has been pushing the invitation to the show for various reasons. Now that Lu Yu is here, isn't that clear?

"Hello Director Zhou, I'm Lu Yu, I finally met you!" Lu met Zhou Xia coming in, stood up from beside Xu Gehui, came up to introduce himself, and extended his hand.

"Hello, Miss Lu Yu, isn't it? I finally met you. I haven't had time to be on your Phoenix Satellite TV program. This time I finally have a chance." Although Zhou Xia was embarrassed in his heart, his face was like a spring breeze, and he shook hands enthusiastically. It's polite.

Sure enough, after Zhou Xia finished speaking, the air in the studio seemed to stagnate. Xu Gehui and many people on the side looked at Lu Yu with some concern.

Zhou Xia was secretly changing the concept, equating "Tell Your Story" with Phoenix Satellite TV, so that Lu Yu would have nothing to say when he appeared on "Celebrities Face to Face".

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Yes, for a busy person like Director Zhou, time is indeed precious. I remember that you only appeared on Phoenix Satellite TV's "Extraordinary Tao". It's been three years."

"It's true, but I often accept interviews from your Phoenix Satellite TV reporters. This time, your reporter Wang, who reported on the special report in Venice, has interviewed and photographed me on the street."

Zhou Xia had already experienced and practiced, so he simply chatted with Lu Yu calmly.

Seeing Zhou Xia's sophistication, Lu Yu saw Xu Gehui waiting at the side, and knew that there was no delay, so he simply said politely and directly: "Director Zhou, I finally met you this time, please give me a definite letter, we When will you make an appointment to record a program?

You don’t know how many fans of our show, how many people leave messages online, make phone calls, write letters, and send emails, let us invite you for an interview, and want to hear your story. Our show team has always said that you really don’t have a schedule, but this time I can't drag it on anymore, you must promise me! "

"Hehe, Miss Lu Yu was joking."

Seeing that the other party was so determined and sincere, Zhou Xia thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's make an appointment, how about this, my next movie "New Detective" will be released on the New Year's Eve, and I will bring the main creator to your show together." programme."

After Zhou Xia finished speaking, she glanced at the new assistant Bai Yuanyuan next to her. After she understood, she immediately took out a small note and wrote it down.

Lu was very happy to meet this: "Okay, let's make an agreement like this. We will decide on the specific time when the time comes, and I won't bother you to record the program."

"Director Zhou was finally blocked this time, and he couldn't refuse." After seeing Lu Yu leave, Xu Gehui came up jokingly.

"Where is it? I really don't have time. This time your show is just in time." Zhou Xia would not admit that he deliberately didn't appear on Lu Yu's show.

While the two were talking, the lighting engineer turned on the lights, the sound engineer and camera adjusted, and the recording of the whole program began.

"This is "Celebrities Face to Face" titled by Sunshine Insurance. The guest we have invited this time is Zhou Xia, a young director who has repeatedly set domestic box office records in recent years. He has countless halos and is the most successful commercial director. The best acting director, the most successful film screenwriter...etc. But this time he has added a halo, the winner of the Golden Lion Award at the 70th Venice Film Festival!"

Zhou Xia heard this and looked at the camera on the side. .

"Hello, Director Zhou."

"Hello." Zhou Xia replied politely. There are no live audiences when celebrities face to face, so the recording is simpler and easier.

"Director Zhou, do you know that some people are saying on the Internet that even Zhou Xia has directed a literary film and won the Venice Film Award. I don't know how you interpret this sentence, what is your reaction when you hear it?
Zhou Xia smiled slightly. In fact, this is what some media often say, saying that he is too young and lacks life experience and social experience. It may be okay to shoot some routine commercial movies, but the subtext is definitely not okay to shoot literary movies.

"Actually, I said a long time ago that I don't agree with the simple division of movies into commercial movies and literary movies, so for me, as long as it is the subject matter I like and the story I am interested in, there is no difference.

In the words of an encyclopedia, film itself is an art that combines modern vision and hearing. It is a comprehensive combination of modern technology and art that can accommodate various arts such as drama, photography, painting, music, dance, writing, sculpture, and architecture. body.

Therefore, every film I shoot is literary and artistic. As for its commercial attributes, it is at the market level, and I never think about it. "

Zhou Xia talked eloquently, continuing to shape his good image, without revealing his true pursuit of making various types of movies.
