Chapter 775 Airport Interview
Zhou Xia originally wanted to be interviewed in the VIP waiting room, but this beautiful and intelligent reporter who looked a bit like the four-set beauty host Li Hong's Hei Changzhi reporter insisted on interviewing in the ordinary waiting room.

She is a professional after all, Zhou Xia still respected her request.

In this way, the camera is facing the passengers coming and going at the entrance, which can indeed show his busy rhythm and be more down-to-earth.

The reporter gave Zhou Xia a wireless microphone and earphones, and she sat next to Zhou Xia by herself, and then a brother with a handheld camera recorded beside her.

"Hello Zhou Xia, I am Zou Minting, a reporter from People's Daily, People's Daily Online and CCTV International Channel. Thank you for taking the time to accept our interview."

"You are being polite, it seems that you are also very busy." Zhou Xia couldn't help teasing, she didn't expect a reporter to hold so many positions concurrently.

The reporter did not respond with a slight smile, and continued: "First of all, congratulations on winning the Oscar, becoming the No.1 in the mainland to receive this honor. Do you have anything to say to our audience?"

"Thank you, thank you for your continuous support and recognition. I will continue to work hard to make more excellent Chinese movies." Zhou Xia said politely.

"About winning the Oscar this time, did you expect it before, or how sure are you?" The beautiful reporter stopped talking nonsense and continued the interview in fluent English.

"Less than [-]%, or even no, I never thought about preparing an acceptance speech." Zhou Xia said truthfully.

"But when you were interviewed by the domestic media, you said that you were very confident, and you also commented on the most popular movie "City of Beauty". What is the reason for this?"

"Hehe." Zhou Xia didn't expect the reporter to talk about this, so he smiled and said, "It's just to cheer myself up. I don't want domestic movie fans and fans to see that I have not set off yet and admit defeat."

"Yes, domestic movie fans and fans have always maintained great confidence in you, and you have not let them down in the end. Can you talk about what makes the film "Starting Line" better than several other nominated films and won the Oscar? Does it mean that Hollywood has changed its attitude towards Chinese-language films?"

The reporter asked cryptically.

"Luck plus strength, the average age of the Oscar judges is over 60, they all have mature personal values ​​and world views, not a good movie will definitely not affect them to change their previous value judgments.

This shows that on the subject of children's education and family relations, the whole world is similar. In many Hollywood blockbusters, the protagonist's growing and explosive emotions are mostly to protect the family, wife, parents, brothers, and children. On this point East and West are connected.

That’s why I said I was lucky. If it was a movie of other themes, even if I made a better film than “Starting Line”, I think the chances of winning the award would be smaller, so I don’t think Hollywood’s attitude towards Chinese-language movies has changed. "

Zhou Xia analyzed seriously, this is what he came up with after he won the award last night.

Harvey's public relations are of course very important, which somewhat affected the judges' attitude towards other films and made them pay more attention to his films.

But in the end let the judges choose him, it still depends on the film itself.

The final selection of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is different from other Oscars. A separate selection committee is set up, and the shortlist is selected by a small number of judges, and then selected by members who have participated in foreign language film screenings. Award-winning films.

Although there are not more than 6000 judges from the entire academy to judge the awards, there are at least three to four thousand people for this award, and most of them are seniors in the film and television industry, and they are basically over [-] years old. It is actually very difficult to influence them.

If you use material things to lure you, it may be self-defeating. If you take advantage of it, it will disgust you and choose other movies.

Therefore, Harvey's public relations is mainly to select some judges who may like Zhou Xia's films by lobbying the relevant persons in charge when establishing a separate selection committee, and select some members who may like Chinese films when inviting members to watch the films people……

Therefore, these operations can only be done as best as possible, and there is no guarantee.

"Your analysis just now is very reasonable. In the early years, "Raise the Red Lantern" was also very popular, but in the end it still did not win an Oscar. The subject matter and theme are indeed very important.

Looking at the Oscar foreign language films that have won Oscars in recent years, most of them are biased, sharp, avant-garde, and even extreme films. However, other Oscars are often chosen by conservative and stable mainstream American values. Can you talk about this? The reason? "

"Hehe, maybe it's for some kind of balance." Zhou Xia said with a smile, this question can be deep or shallow, and a bad answer will have too much impact, so it's impossible for him to say more.

Moreover, Oscar himself is a game for other Americans, so of course it has to serve themselves.

Seeing this, the beautiful black long straight beauty reporter had no choice but to give up, and smiled instead: "Last night, the Hollywood Reporter had a hot report about you and Jennifer Lawrence, saying that the two of you are dating because of your cooperation in "The Expendables 3". This news is true. Is it?"

"No, she just introduced me to the dinner party." Zhou Xia quickly argued.

This news is obviously a press release bought by "The Expendables 3", just for the promotion of the movie. This may be the reason why the eldest cousin took good care of him last night.

"But then there was a report saying that you took Scarlett Johansson's car and went back to the villa in Mid-Levels with her. Is this true?"

Zhou Xia was a little puzzled, and looked at the other party in surprise, what's going on, when did the Overseas Edition of the People's Daily become so gossipy and entertaining?
"I'm a reporter from the entertainment section." Seeing Zhou Xia's surprised look, the beautiful black long straight reporter smiled slyly, showing her cute canine teeth.

No wonder there are so many titles, there must be something wrong with it.

However, Zhou Xia had already gotten into someone else's way, and was fooled by the other party's identity into being interviewed, so Zhou Xia could only admit it.

"I don't know why there is such news. Miss Johnson and I have only met a few times, and we just know each other." Zhou Xia replied seriously.

The female reporter was obviously a little disappointed, seeing that the 15-minute interview time was running out, she had to say: "Thank you, the last question, your perfect response at the awards ceremony last night, domestic fans and movie fans all praised you , proud and proud of your performance, this matter has received more attention than you won the Oscar, and it is still a hot topic on the Internet. Do you have anything to say to domestic netizens? Have you thought about the consequences of doing that? ?”

Finally asking this question!

Zhou Xia sat up slightly, and continued to speak seriously: "I just did what an ordinary Chinese should do. I hope that my colleagues will be brave outside in the future. No matter what the occasion, if you encounter such a thing, you must say it loudly. No, tell the truth to the world, behind you stand a great motherland and 14 billion compatriots.

As for the consequences, I don't know, and I didn't think about it. When others disrespect you and you lose your dignity, is there a more serious consequence than this? "

"Director Zhou, what you said is great, thank you, thank you for accepting our interview. I am also a fan of your movie, and I hope to see your new movie released in theaters soon."

"Thank you for the interview too." Zhou Xia stood up politely.

After both parties put away the microphones and recording equipment, this beautiful woman with long black hair came forward and said sweetly, regardless of Zhou Xia who was a little unhappy: "Director Zhou, can I take a photo with you? I'm really yours!" Loyal fan."

"Hehe, it's okay, you can take a group photo even if you're not a fan of me." Zhou Xia could only tease, and then reached out to greet the big photographer and asked him to take a group photo too.

The elder brother handed the camera to Xiaobai and asked her to help take pictures, and happily ran over to take a photo with them.

At this time, some of the watching passengers gathered together, and some of them had already recognized Zhou Xia.

But he was being interviewed, and he was at the airport, so he didn't dare to influence other people, so he didn't dare to come up from the sidelines, so he naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity at this moment.

After Zhou Xiayou took a photo with these people and signed their signatures, before causing more noise, he hurriedly entered the VIP channel with Xiaobai.
