Chapter 787 Sun Daohao's Interview
Beijing.

A quadrangle.

Sun Daohao was resting on a deck chair under the willow tree. There was another chair opposite him, and two cups were placed on the tea table.

The post-editing of "Dark Forest" is still going on, and overall it is relatively smooth.

Taking advantage of today's rest, he waited for the arrival of an old friend in the courtyard.

Sun Daohao doesn't live here now, but only by coming here can he truly relax physically and mentally, because of a special sense of belonging.

Take a sip of rich tea water, listen to the cicadas, shake your fan gently, and close your eyes slightly to feel the peace that is rare in such a big city.

Sun Daohao glanced at the time on his watch and began to pour tea into another cup.

The appointed time was getting closer and closer, and his old friend was coming.

"Old Sun, I really envy your life like this." Hearing his voice before seeing him.

A person who was about the same age as Sun Daohao came in, and it was his good friend Yu Anping.

The two have known each other since childhood and have been old friends for decades.

Holding two bottles of wine and a CD in his hand, Yu Anping looked around at the flowers and plants growing in the courtyard, sat opposite Sun Daohao and said with emotion: "Hey, it's still a comfortable place to live here."

In the early years, Yu Anping sold his courtyard house as start-up capital for his business. Now that he has the money to buy it, he can’t buy it back.

Although there is a big villa to live in, he has the same idea as Sun Daohao in his heart, wanting to go back to the courtyard.

"Stop feeling emotional, Old Yu, drink tea."

Regarding the matter of selling the house, Sun Daohao persuaded him, and even said that he could lend the money to Yu Anping.

But starting a business comes with huge risks after all, Yu Anping directly rejected Sun Daohao's kindness.

"I brought good wine for you." Yu Anping held up the CD: "There is also something you asked me to find, and I asked someone to save it in the CD."

"Thank you."

"Hey, there's nothing to be thankful for, it's all small things, just have a drink with me when you have time."

"Hahaha, you are so old, please drink less, I will drink tea with you at most."

Sun Daohao looked at a disc without any name, which contained a movie "Interstellar Journey".

"Interstellar Journey" is a classic American sci-fi movie, which has been used as a reference by many great directors who shoot sci-fi movies.

Due to some special reasons, it has not been introduced in China.

For Sun Daohao, there is no domestic sci-fi movie worth learning from.

In order for "Dark Forest" to succeed, it is necessary to learn advanced experience from some foreign classic science fiction movies.

The two chatted.

Yu Anping's cell phone rang.

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Anping said helplessly, "I want to drink with you when I come here today. Suddenly there is something in the company that I need to go back to deal with."

"Go back and get busy first, there's still a lot of free time in the future."

"Okay!" Yu Anping turned and left.

Sun Daohao returned to the living room with the CD and started watching "Interstellar Journey".

This movie was made more than [-] years ago, but it is still amazing to watch at this time.

During the viewing process, Sun Daohao would express his feelings from time to time. There is still a big gap between domestic and foreign science fiction movies.

He has confidence in his "Dark Forest", but also has great pressure.

Two hours later, when the movie ended, Sun Daohao stroked his chin, frowned slightly, and thought about what he could learn from the movie "Interstellar Journey".

The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Sun Daohao's thoughts.

Even though it was an unfamiliar number, Sun Daohao still answered the call. Not many people knew his phone number.

"Hello."

.

"Hello, Director Sun, we are Jinghua Daily."

"What's matter?"

"We want to do an exclusive interview with you, do you have time?"

"Which aspect?"

There are also many types of exclusive interviews by the news media, and you can only agree to them if you understand the situation clearly in advance.

"Your new movie "Dark Forest" is a sci-fi movie. At present, domestic movies are very weak in sci-fi themes, but they are very popular in the domestic film market. Many audiences want to see the domestic masterpiece sci-fi. Movies. This interview is mainly to learn about your new movie and your understanding and expectations of domestic sci-fi movies.”

"That's it." Sun Daohao patted his thigh lightly, thinking about whether to agree, and nodded after a while: "Yes."

In fact, he wanted to wait for this kind of interview after "Dark Forest" was released.

It is not clear whether the audience can accept it. If the results are not satisfactory, some netizens may turn them out and ridicule them.

And Sun Daohao agreed to it entirely because he was familiar with Yu Xiaobo, the editor-in-chief of Jinghua Daily.

There have been many interviews between the two parties, and the relationship between the two is good.

Sun Daohao admired Yu Xiaobo's vision.

"Director Sun, when do you have time?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little excited, never expecting such a big director in China to agree so readily.

Sun Daohao estimated his free time and said, "Then let's set it at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. I'll wait for you at home. You and the editor-in-chief know the place."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Daohao started watching "Interstellar Journey" from the beginning again, and there are still many places in it that need to be carefully observed.

Two days later, Saturday.

"Jinghua Daily" sent Zhao Shuang to conduct this exclusive interview.

Zhao Shuang has worked for Jinghua Daily for more than five years, specializing in interviewing public figures in the entertainment industry, and has rich experience.

According to the address given by Yu Xiaobo, Zhao Shuang came to the door of Sun Daohao's house and suddenly felt nervous.

Having done so many exclusive interviews, this is the first time she has interviewed such a top director.

"I hope everything goes well today." Zhao Shuang took a deep breath and cheered himself up.

For this interview, she did a lot of preparatory work in advance, not only understanding the development of science fiction films at home and abroad, but also studying Sun Daohao's personal habits.

The more top figures, the more special habits they have.

The door of the courtyard was open, and Zhao Shuang still rang the doorbell.

After a while, the two saw Sun Daohao coming out, and Zhao Shuang hurriedly said hello, "Hello, Director Sun! I'm Zhao Shuang, a reporter from Jinghua Daily."

"Hello! Come in!"

Under the leadership of Sun Daohao, the three came to the living room.

In addition to Zhao Shuang, there is another photographer in the interview.

Before coming here, Yu Xiaobo specifically explained that Sun Daohao didn't like too grand occasions, so they kept everything simple.

"Sit down first, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Tea water is ready.

"Thank you! It's too much trouble for you, Director Sun." Zhao Shuang said quickly.

"You don't have to be cautious. Although it's for work, anyone who comes is a guest. Let's have a cup of tea together."

"Thank you."

When Zhao Shuang and Sun Daohao briefly exchanged the details of the interview, the photographer had already set up the camera and made an 'OK' gesture.

"Director Sun, let's start our exclusive interview."

Sun Daohao tidied up his clothes: "OK."

Zhao Shuang has already memorized the interview questions by heart, so he didn't have the manuscript in hand: "Can you tell everyone, when will your latest sci-fi movie "Dark Forest" be released? The audience is looking forward to this movie."

""Dark Forest" has been finished a long time ago, and it is still editing and post-processing. The most troublesome part of science fiction movies is post-production. I want to bring a visual feast to the audience. I can't confirm the specific release time , at the earliest, it should be the Spring Festival stall.”

"Actually, audiences don't have high expectations for domestic sci-fi movies. Will you feel a lot of pressure to shoot "Dark Forest"?"

Sun Daohao's "The Ruins" has dominated the highest box office record in Huaguo for more than ten consecutive years, and the audience of the new movie is naturally looking forward to it.

However, domestic sci-fi movies have been criticized, and the disappointment in the hearts of the audience is much greater than expectations.

"Of course there will be pressure, but I still have great confidence in my films. The audience's lack of expectations for domestic sci-fi films has a lot to do with the current environment in the entertainment industry. Money is not used in the right place. Relying on one or two actors is If you can’t make a high-quality movie, how can you make the audience like it?!”

Sun Daohao has long been displeased with the environment of the domestic entertainment industry, and this is not the first time he has mentioned this in front of the media.

He has always wanted domestic entertainment to go global, so if it continues to develop, let alone go global, domestic entertainment will sooner or later be eaten away by other countries.

"What is your biggest expectation for "The Dark Forest"?"

"The audience has lost confidence in domestic sci-fi movies. I just want to use this movie to tell them that there is still hope for domestic sci-fi movies. We can also produce sci-fi movies that are not weaker than American blockbusters."

The interview ended after more than an hour of questions and answers.

Zhao Shuang thanked: "Thank you for taking the time to accept this interview."

There are not many media that can get an exclusive interview with Sun Daohao. Without Yu Xiaobo's relationship, "Jinghua Daily" would not have today's interview.

Sun Daohao sipped his tea and waved his hands and said, "This is what should be done to let the audience know the current development of domestic science fiction films."

The photographer confirmed that there was no problem with the captured images, and then signaled to Zhao Shuang.

"Director Sun, I won't disturb your rest, we have to go back to meet business." Zhao Shuang stood up and bid farewell.

Sun Daohao stood up and saw him off: "You guys have worked hard today too."

After Zhao Shuang and the photographer left, Sun Daohao did not rush to clean up. The one-hour interview was very exhausting for a person of his age.

Sun Daohao sipped the tea carefully and sat on a chair to rest for more than half an hour.

the next day.

"Jinghua Daily" published this exclusive interview with Sun Daohao on its multiple social accounts, and wrote a long copy.

"I am very grateful to Director Sun Daohao for taking time out of his busy schedule to accept an exclusive interview."

"Sci-fi movies are no longer unfamiliar to the audience, and they are loved by everyone, but why is it so difficult to develop in China?"

"Director Sun Daohao will explain to you the current development status of domestic science fiction films."

"Sci-fi movies have been classified as small movies in China."

"This interview will give you a detailed explanation of why Director Sun Daohao was able to make a sci-fi movie "Dark Forest" under the current situation."

"Through the video, you will learn about the latest situation of "Dark Forest"."

Once the video was released, it quickly appeared on the hot searches of various social software, and many self-media accounts began to forward it in order to gain popularity.

In just half an hour, the number of comments on the official blog of "Jinghua Daily" has exceeded [-], and the number continues to grow.

"Looking forward to Director Sun Daohao's new work! Looking forward to "Dark Forest"!"

"I thought it was fake news when I heard about director Sun Daohao making a movie, but it turned out to be true."

"I hope to see this "Dark Forest" during the Chinese New Year!"

"I believe that director Sun Daohao will definitely let us see the hope of domestic science fiction movies."

"This is a great director with a sense of responsibility. His evaluation of the current domestic film market hits the nail on the head. I like this kind of temper."

"When "Dark Forest" is released, we must go to the cinema to support and support the development of domestic science fiction films."

"Based on what Mr. Sun said, we must go to the cinema when it's released, and book a movie ticket first."

"I'm already looking forward to the Chinese New Year!"

Bright Entertainment.

President Office.

Tan Yue took advantage of the break time to open Weibo, saw this trending search, and clicked the mouse lightly to understand the situation.

The interview of more than one hour was edited into more than forty minutes.

There is not much content in the interview, as long as some time to drink water and rest is lost.

In the video, Sun Daohao's views on the current situation of domestic film development and Tan Yue also agree very much.

Regarding "Dark Forest", although the domestic film market is not friendly to domestic sci-fi films, Tan Yue believes that the box office performance of this film will not be bad, and the director's box office is guaranteed. This film is also within the scope of support from the General Administration of Culture .

Tan Yue believes that there is another aspect of "Dark Forest" not bad at the box office.

- Later work.

The fastest release time of "Dark Forest" is at the end of the year.

From finalization to release, eight or nine months were spent in post-production, which can be described as meticulously crafted.

It would be surprising for such a film to do poorly at the box office.

"Slow work will lead to meticulous work." Tan Yue couldn't help but sighed, thinking that he had already made two films during this period, and the third film shooting plan would also start after a while.

In contrast, for a while, I felt that I was too rushed for time.

This is also the difference between science fiction movies and other movies.

Post-work such as nonsensical and romance films basically doesn't take much time.

The special effects in "Kung Fu" are nothing compared to science fiction movies.

"Wouldn't there be a collision by then?!" Tan Yue suddenly thought that the filming of "Infernal Affairs" was about to start.

According to Tan Yue's plan, "Infernal Affairs" will probably be released during the Spring Festival.

Tan Yue broke the box office record held by Sun Daohao for more than ten years, and this is a real head-to-head confrontation.

Tan Yue put down the cup in his hand, tsk-tsk said: "The scene at that time will definitely be very exciting!"

Even if the two of them do not act, netizens will definitely compare the two movies together.
