"So he is really here for a trip?" After confirming this, Zhang Xianliang frowned, "Coming with Ye Rong should be a private trip. Do you think he will be willing to appear in public in front of reporters?"
"Although we only met briefly, I feel that Chen Feng is still very reasonable. As long as you sincerely invite me, I don't think he will refuse."
¨D¨D¨D¨D
Zhang Xianliang hosted a banquet for Chen Feng and Ye Rong that night. When he learned that Ye Rong would also play an important role in the film, Zhang Xianliang's doubts disappeared and he generously invited Chen Feng and Ye Rong to attend together. A press conference is scheduled for tomorrow. Ye Rong did not want to appear in front of the media and declined politely, while Chen Feng happily accepted the invitation.
Chen Feng, a popular movie star in Hangzhou, appeared at Zhenbeibao Western Cinema. Well-informed reporters gathered in. The venue, which was originally reserved for only 150 seats, was finally crowded with more than 200 people, many of whom were standing. Some people simply sat on the floor.
When Chen Feng appeared on the stage, all the photographers rushed forward to take pictures. There were too many photographers and too few people. The scene immediately fell into chaos. The organizer quickly sent more security guards, which barely stabilized the scene. The reporters in the audience waited patiently for the leader of the local Cultural Bureau to finish his tedious speech. Even Zhang Xianliang, who was sitting on the stage, felt the irritability. However, the deputy director did not realize this. He was going to wrote a large speech. After half an hour of speaking, the reporters in the audience fell asleep, and even Chen Feng had an expression of impatience on his face.
Wait for the director to finish speaking. There was sparse applause from the audience. Zhang Xianliang took the microphone, said a few words briefly, and then allowed the reporters in the audience to ask questions freely.
"Director Chen, as the screenwriter of the film, why did you set the sequel to "The Mummy" in XJ instead of somewhere else?" The reporter who first asked the question was most concerned about Chen Feng's original intention in writing the script.
"Compared to other places in the world, I may know more about xj."
"Do you really understand the culture of XJ?" A reporter stood up rudely, "I have met many local artists in XJ who don't understand the culture of XJ. Are you so sure that you understand it?"
"Your question reminds me of the conversation between him and Huizi in "Zhuangzi. Autumn Waters", and the reporter's question just now. Can I understand it as 'A child is not a fish, and you know the joy of fish'?" Chen Feng The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded by the casual "quoting from classics", "Then I will answer you now with the words of Zhuangzi. It's not me. How do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?"
The reporters in the audience were a little embarrassed. After all, Chen Feng's reputation was still quite good. They felt a little ashamed to doubt such a rising star from China. After a brief silence, a reporter finally stood up bravely and revealed the topic.
"As the producer of the film, why did you choose the filming location here instead of other places in China?"
"Because our story is related to desert exploration, only this place is the most suitable."
A reporter stood up and asked: "What do you think of this film and television base?"
"I remember that at the entrance of the film and television city, there was a big stone monument: From here, Chinese movies went to the world. Haha, the words above are really loud. Just like all scenic spots like to brag about their uniqueness to highlight their The importance is the same. At first, I thought it was just an eye-catching slogan, and I even sneered at this kind of trick."
"But when I came out of the movie theater and passed this stone monument again, I already agreed with this statement. It was from Sorghum and Yellow Earth that Chinese films began to be recognized by foreign counterparts, and these films all expressed I have a sense of the vicissitudes of western China. In the eyes of foreigners, China itself is vicissitudes of life and mysterious. I know that most of the literary works and writers that emerged after China¡¯s reform and opening up describe the people under the loess soil of the west. The main focus is on the state of survival. This is related to the vigorous political movement in Nahua. But it is also this barren and tough land that breeds the national spirit of becoming more self-reliant in the face of adversity."
¡°If Chen Feng had just faced the reporter¡¯s provocation, he showed the arrogance inherent in the entertainment people of Hangzhou and Hong Kong, then now he has become humble and restrained, which is more like the character of a western loess person. This attitude is very different. Everyone present was amazed.
"Will XJ stars be invited to star in this film?" When a reporter asked this question, everyone in the audience hoped to get a positive answer from Chen Feng.
Chen Feng shook his head regretfully: "I haven't received any notice in this regard yet. But as far as the script is concerned, actors from xj must be required to participate. But these roles don't have many roles.So I won¡¯t consider inviting xj stars to star. "
"From a Chinese perspective, as the film's producer, do you think this film can well express the connotation of Chinese culture?" Another reporter stood up and asked this question. Chen Feng I was confused, why was it related to Chinese culture if I was just making a movie?
He did not immediately answer the question raised by the other party, but turned his head and whispered in Zhang Xianliang's ear about the situation. What he did not expect was that this incident actually caused such a big stir, and even went online to the point of a national movie. A matter of life and death for the industry.
"I think everyone may have misunderstood." Chen Feng felt that it was necessary to explain this matter clearly. "This film was only shot in China and does not seem to have much to do with Chinese culture. I can tell you a little bit. The plot of the film tells the story of a few foreigners who came to China to explore. This film is at most geographically related to China, and the cultural connection is not very big. Because the ancient city in the film is fictional , the civilization it represents is also my personal imagination based on referring to the ancient country of Loulan."
"At the beginning of the last century, many foreigners were selling Chinese cultural relics in the name of archeology. Most of the collections in the European Union Museum were smuggled out of China at that time. Director Chen, your script should be based on this A period of history is unfolding as the background, so what do you personally think about this period of history?" Another sharp question popped up. Before Chen Feng had time to answer, Zhang Xianliang next to him could no longer sit still and looked at the audience. With such a formation of reporters, these questions they asked, how could this still be like holding a live press conference for entertainment news? (To be continued)
