Chapter 746
Then I rested for three days. After the annual leave, I went to work on the first day on February 2, and I prepared for another day.

On February 2, Zhou Xia's new movie "Descendants of Yanhuang" held a grand launch conference at the Xiahua Film and Television Exhibition Hall in the imperial capital.

Zhou Xia, Yaya, Mina, Qingzi, Zhu Yawen, Jin Dong, Xu Hailu, Zheng Kai, Yang Zi and other main creators all attended the press conference.

Zhou Xia and Yaya sat in the middle, and the other main creators sat on both sides. Everyone sat in a row on the stage to accept interviews from national media.

"Director Zhou, hello, I'm a reporter from the Movie Channel. I just took my annual leave yesterday, and today you're holding a press conference for your new movie. You've been preparing for the New Year. Haven't you been home for the Spring Festival?"

Zhou Xia held the microphone and said with a slight smile: "Of course it's a holiday. The crew's affairs are all ready before the Chinese New Year. This year, like everyone else, I took a full seven-day annual leave."

"How did Director Zhou spend the Spring Festival? Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala? Are there any memorable programs?" The reporter continued to ask.

Zhou Xia smiled slightly, and only then did he understand why the other party talked about the Chinese New Year.

The 2014 Spring Festival Gala was the chief director of Xiaogangpao. Although it was not bad, it still fell short of everyone's expectations. Especially, many floral actors appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, which caused quite a controversy.

"Of course I watched the Spring Festival Gala, and I watched it with my family while chatting, so I didn't read it very carefully, but there are two sketches that I remember deeply. , Ma Li's "Help or Not". In addition, "Where does the time go" by Sisi and Yaya, our family likes it very much."

Zhou Xia replied very seriously, and all the people mentioned were from Xia Hua or Xia Hua's family.

With his current influence and status, even if it is a simple compliment, the media will write a soft article as the headline: For example, Zhou Xia praised who slept in the Spring Festival Gala for his experience and so on.

Now that the most popular programs and stars of the Spring Festival Gala are still being voted on, they will indeed have a certain impact.

"Is director Zhou satisfied with this year's Spring Festival Gala? If the people of the whole country want you to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala, are you willing to do it?" The female reporter of CCTV continued to ask, seeing that Zhou Xia did not answer this question.

Zhou Xia really can't laugh or cry, today is his movie launch conference, although he has asked a lot of movie-related questions before, but he can't keep asking about the Spring Festival Gala.

Although everyone has high expectations for Director Feng, after watching the Spring Festival Gala, they are not very satisfied, and there is a big gap in their hearts, but he can't let him judge.

Now Xiahua Film and Television has an interest connection with most companies in the entire film and television circle, and Zhou Xia has also reconciled with the Beijing circle.

But the media doesn't seem to know this yet, and obviously wants to use his mouth to criticize a batch of small steel cannons.

"Except for the few programs I noticed, I really didn't pay much attention to the others. How should I put it, for example, the Spring Festival Gala is the New Year's Eve dinner on TV. We eat the dishes we like, and we don't eat the dishes we don't like. As long as there are a few favorites that can be eaten well.

It’s difficult for everyone to agree, and it’s unrealistic to require every show to be good. After all, the Spring Festival Gala has to take care of audiences across the country, no, Chinese audiences around the world, so everyone understands the director team and be more tolerant.

As for me being the director of the Spring Festival Gala, I haven’t really thought about it until now. I’ve never done a show before. I’m a layman. Let me use the Spring Festival Gala as an experiment. I don’t have the guts to ruin everyone’s New Year’s mood. not good”

After Zhou Xia finished saying this, the media in the audience laughed softly.

"Thank you Director Zhou." The reporter from the movie channel also sat down with a smile.

Then a male reporter holding a microphone with the Southern Weekly logo stood up.

"Director Zhou, hello, "Descendants of Yanhuang" is your military romance novel, which has sold 400 million copies so far, and is known as the pioneering work of patriotic military love idol best-selling novels. Now you want to publish this novel We are all looking forward to it being shown on the big screen. What do you think of the stars being patriotic?
Now there are many celebrities who hold green cards, or secretly join foreigners, earn money in the mainland, but live in foreign countries. According to the facts we know in Nanzhou, you also hold a green card. I heard that you will go to Hollywood more in the future Development, will you also become an American citizen one day? "

After the polite male reporter asked calmly, the media reporters in the audience couldn't help being in an uproar, even the celebrities sitting on the stage showed expressions of surprise.

This question is obviously looking for trouble.

Zhou Xia frowned slightly, because of his identity and status, the other party's question was actually very polite, and other people might have asked more sharply.

But he also understood the purpose of the other party.

Making money by making patriotic movies, but thinking about developing abroad, and even becoming a foreign citizen, although this matter is just a guess, but a little hype will attract a lot of attention and increase a lot of sales.

Zhou Xia coughed a few times, cleared her throat, and looked at the reporter: "I don't know about other celebrities, but personally, I get a green card purely for the convenience of work. I travel to and from the United States at least ten times a year. Every time you apply for a visa, you have to arrange it in advance. When there is an emergency, it is very troublesome.

Everyone knows that the first TV series I filmed, "You at the Same Table", involved reflections on the wave of returning to China, and reflected some real reflections on American society. Because of this, I later went to the United States again to apply for a work visa and was questioned a lot. and make things difficult.

In order to save trouble, the company helped me apply for a green card at that time. I don’t need to apply for a visa to get a green card. I can go to the United States directly. The customs and security checks are also very convenient, which can save a lot of time. For me, there is nothing better than this something happened.

And I went to the United States, not for a living, mainly for filming, or for film post-production. I personally never thought about changing my nationality. When I received a job in the United States, I would pay taxes locally, and I would pay the difference when I came back.

Other major incomes are generated in the country, and naturally they are also taxed in the country. This is my obligation as a citizen. I personally think that these things of mine are aboveboard, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Now the purpose of making this movie is also very simple. It is to try to shoot a military-themed movie, to show the family and country feelings of our Chinese children and descendants of Yan and Huang. When there is a conflict between personal feelings and national responsibilities, how to choose the truth? emotion.

I don't want to hype, and I don't need to hype. If someone insists that I want to make money with 'patriotism', then I would like to ask, is patriotism shameful? Are you not patriotic?If my works and movies can make everyone more patriotic and make money, the best of both worlds, why not do it?If others have opinions, if they are envious, you can do it too. "

Zhou Xia deliberately raised his voice in the last few sentences, and the media in the audience applauded loudly, and some even shouted that it was well said.

The male reporter from Southern Zhou was a little embarrassed, but he sat down calmly under everyone's gaze. Obviously he had seen big battles before.
