NOVEL FROG Chapter 98
Director Li's mouth curled up slightly.
Chen Xiao seemed to be joking, but he resolved the potential conflict.
Later, when the reporters asked, he said he had no comment, which would make the atmosphere more or less awkward.
Saying it in advance makes it easier for everyone.
Very good EQ!
Soon, the meeting officially began.
The first reporter took the microphone and said,"Hello, Director Chen, hello, Director Li, I am a reporter from Souma Entertainment, and I would like to ask Director Chen a question. From the two movies that have been broadcast, you have dabbled in music, opera, screenwriting and other fields. Where did you learn this knowledge?"
"Thank you for your question. I taught myself."
A gasp sounded in the conference room.
Everyone had speculated that he had received elite education. After guessing for a long time, you said he taught himself?
The reporter asked unwillingly,"Director Chen, how could you teach yourself so many fields? Do you have any secrets to share?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and replied,"Ninety-nine percent of sweat, plus one percent of talent."
After speaking, Chen Xiao added in his heart, but Edison said that 1% is the most important.
But he also sweated a lot!
Hearing this answer, everyone present felt like a lemon tree had grown on their heads. And the lemons were leaking, pouring lemon juice on them.
It's sour!
Secretary He also felt sour in his heart, and forced a smile and said,"Please welcome the next reporter friend"
……
More than half an hour passed quickly.
They asked about Chen Xiao's study experience, creative ideas, and the theme of the new film.
Director Li felt for the first time that he was like a pendant...
Why didn't anyone ask him? He was depressed for a long time, and finally thought of an explanation that most of the people present were entertainment media, and they didn't dare to ask him!
It's not that they are not interested in him!
Absolutely not!
The questions continued.
The microphone was passed to a foreign lady with brown hair, brown eyes, and deep eye sockets. She asked in slightly broken Chinese:
"Hello, Director Chen. I am a reporter from the F Country Film and Television Express."
"Your next movie is a science fiction movie called Interstellar》"
"I heard that Hollywood is also preparing a science fiction movie called"Moonfall", with an investment of about 1 billion RMB. It started shooting last year and is expected to be released in October."
"What do you think about this?"
Hearing this, the other media looked at each other.
They all showed a look of trepidation and curiosity.
Not only the media, but also Director Li's face became more serious.
Hollywood's"Moonfall" will also be released in October?
He had considered letting"Interstellar" be released simultaneously around the world.
But if it was released at the same time as Hollywood's big productions, both sides would have to compete for the market.
《Interstellar has a good script and the director is also capable.
But after all, it is a world-renowned film and television center with a billion-dollar investment.
If they collide head-on, it will definitely have a significant impact on the box office of Interstellar.
Why not discuss releasing it in China first and then overseas later?
While he was thinking, Chen Xiao had already turned on the microphone to reply
"I don't know much about the movie you mentioned. Since it's the same theme, let's compete fairly."
The reporter continued to ask:"Will"Interstellar" be released simultaneously around the world?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said:"We haven't even chosen the actors yet, so the release is certainly not decided."
""Okay, thank you!" The foreign reporter put down the microphone with some regret.
Although the microphone was put down, the hearts of the reporters present were hanging.
《Interstellar vs. Moonfall:
Domestic investment of 500 million and Hollywood investment of 1 billion.
Are the two science fiction blockbusters really going to collide?
If so, which one will win?
Or will Chen Xiao speed up and release the film on May Day to seize the international market?
With these doubts in mind, their expectations for Chen Xiao's new film are getting stronger and stronger.
Next, Chen Xiao responded to seven or eight questions.
Most of the questions were just one or two sentences, but the media was still satisfied.
From the accumulated questions from Titanic to Farewell My Concubine, to the news of Interstellar, almost all were answered.
The reporters also gave him a very high evaluation in their hearts!
Some stars are always ambiguous and mysterious when holding press conferences, letting reporters guess and speculate. They may even set up reporters, deliberately lead them to guess wrong, earn a wave of traffic, and then issue a statement saying that there is no such thing.
But Chen Xiao is different.
He said everything he could say directly, and refused to answer what he couldn't say or didn't know.
It was neat and tidy!
So, at eight o'clock in the evening, the press conference ended on time.
After leaving the Ministry of Culture, some reporters simply found a coffee shop, sat down to write and upload their articles.
Some even wrote a short article on the spot and sent it out directly.
When Farewell My Concubine had just been aired for more than 20 days and was still very popular on the Internet,
《The news of"Interstellar" instantly caused heated discussions on the Internet
……
In Yanbei University, which is jokingly called"the university that never takes holidays in the capital"
, a middle-aged man with a shiny head is writing calculus formulas on the blackboard in a classroom.
Students from the Film Academy are sitting in the audience.
They are either studying professional courses or browsing their phones. Almost no one is listening to this public course"Calculus".
The girl at the edge of the third row is texting her bestie
"Our school starts classes on the 14th day of the Lunar New Year, that's crazy!"
"Be content, my boyfriend went to university in Xiamen without a holiday, and even reported for work on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year. He departed from the northeast, and it happened to be snowing heavily, so the plane was delayed by 11 hours, which was even worse!"
"Well, now that you put it that way, I feel more balanced."
"WTF! Yaoyao! Your husband Chen Xiao is going to make a new movie!"
"Oh my god, so soon? Doesn’t my husband take a break?"
"Look, there's a video! There's his voice!"
"I'm taking Chen Tutu's class and I didn't bring my headphones. Oh, that's annoying. I want to hear my Xiaoxiao's voice."
"Eh? Isn't Chen Tutu going to leave get out of class in the middle?"
"It's been delayed for a while, it's almost done."
Just after sending this message, the middle-aged teacher on the stage said,"Take a 10-minute break."
The girl named Yaoyao immediately opened the video and put it close to her ear to listen to the sound.
The class immediately shouted"Chen Xiao has a new film." After all
, they are students of the Film Academy.
Chen Xiao, who has a high level of directing skills, is an idol to them, not to mention to their professional teachers.
Moreover, Chen Xiao has a good appearance, and the freshmen like him very much.
So, the class immediately fell into a noisy noise.
"Link! Give me the link"
"I can't hear it clearly. Lend me one of your headphones so we can listen together!"
"Oh my god, I couldn’t hear what he said at all, anyway, he sounded so cool!"
""Be quiet! I can't hear what my little Bao is saying!"
But they didn't notice that at this moment, the teacher Chen on the stage, who was nicknamed"Chen Bunny" by them because of his bald head and good personality, had a strange look on his face, raised the corners of his mouth, and lowered his head to open his mobile phone.
