The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 52 "Very Face to Face"

For Chen Jingxing, the shortlist of "Fatal Identity" in Orlando is not the end of a stage, but the beginning of a busy journey.

Ever since the news of being shortlisted came out, Chen Jingxing's phone calls couldn't stop. Even though he had already set up a new number besides his work number, and only told his parents, there were still people who didn't know where they got this number. Chen Jingxing almost wanted to shut down the phone.

Of course, the main job connection is still between DreamWorks and Huanshiwang. For all kinds of interviews, investment, asking him to write scripts, and even asking him if he has a relationship with the organizer of the Orlando Film Festival, he will pay for it. A film was shortlisted in Orlando, and Chen Jingxing lamented that there are too many strange people.

Chen Jingxing basically ignored these nonsensical requests, but he still had to cooperate with the work schedule arranged by Huanshi.com.

Magazine shootings, text interviews, variety shows and even film exchange activities sponsored by the government filled Chen Jingxing's schedule to the brim.

The program that Chen Jingxing will participate in soon is an interview program "Very Face to Face", which is the only dialogue program on Mango TV.

Hosted by veteran media person Zhao Xiaonan, it is a celebrity interview variety show. Many well-known figures in front of and behind the scenes of the entertainment industry have appeared on this show. It has been broadcast for four years. Although it is not in the prime time, it is not bad. There are not many such talk shows.

In fact, Luo Chen was supposed to be on this variety show, but the crisis of public opinion caused by Jiang He's rhythm made him feel embarrassed. Huanshi.com and his personal studio both suggested quiet for a while, less exposure, and less appearance. Let director Chen Jingxing be on the show.

Although the film was shortlisted for the Orlando Film Festival, Luo Chen's public opinion has turned around, but the program has been finalized long ago, and the program team has even prepared the promotional video and script, so it is inconvenient to change at this time. No matter how rich and powerful they are, they can't offend the TV station casually, and it's Mango TV, which is faintly the leader of satellite TV.

As soon as Chen Jingxing finished his makeup, Zhao Xiaonan pushed the door in and boasted with a smile: "Director Chen, you look younger than in the photo, just like a college student who just entered school."

Chen Jingxing replied with a smile: "Sister Xiaonan is also very young, you can call me Jing Xing, Director Chen and Director Chen's feeling is not suitable for my age."

"Isn't that good? It's very contrasting. I have interviewed the director, but I have never interviewed a director as young as you. Okay, then I will teach you Jing Xing?" Zhao Xiaonan's smile deepened, and she asked curiously He said, "Do the staff and actors on the set also call you Jing Xing?"

"Of course Director Chen or the director is on the set. When filming, the director needs enough authority."

"Director Wang Molin also said similar things on my show before. It seems that the work philosophies of your directors are indeed similar. How about it, is there no problem with the script?"

Chen Jingxing shook his head: "No, is it time yet?"

"Okay, let's go to the studio now." Zhao Xiaonan said with a smile.

"You may have heard of his name, or you may be unfamiliar with him, but you must have heard of his films. Although he is only 22 years old, his debut film has become internationally renowned and has sparked heated discussions around the world. The two films were recently shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Orlando Fantastic Film Festival, competing for the Golden Spruce Award with outstanding films from all over the world."

Some people say that he is an outstanding director, some say that he is a genius director, some say that he is the hope of Chinese science fiction movies, and some say that he can rely on his appearance but rely on his talent.

The one who came to our show today is the legendary director of the new generation - Chen Jingxing! "

Chen Jingxing strode out of the aisle wearing a light-colored striped shirt and brown overalls. After waving to the audience with a smile, he nodded at the host, and sat down on the red sofa beside Zhao Xiaonan's gesture.

"Hello, sister Xiaonan, audience and friends in front of the TV, hello everyone."

"Actually, I'm really curious. You are a mathematics student at Beijing Normal University. According to the common understanding, the mathematics department and making movies are two things that are out of reach. What made you decide to become a director after graduation? " Zhao Xiaonan asked curiously.

"Actually, making movies has always been my dream. Since high school, I thought that I would become a film director when I grew up, so it was not a sudden idea, but I have been preparing for a long time. Going to Beijing Normal University is actually a I want to do two-handed preparations, and if I fail as a director, I can still find other jobs with my degree."

"Haven't you considered doing scientific research in the future?"

"Maybe it's because I think I'm more talented in filmmaking than scientific research. I can only feel sorry for my teachers (laughs)."

……

"I heard from your crew that the movie "Fatal Identity" was originally going to be shot in a studio, but you finally decided to go to the Ganzang line at an altitude of 3000 meters for real shooting."

"Because I still have some doubts about the effect that can be achieved by shooting in the studio, because I will definitely need a lot of post-production special effects to make up for it, but I am afraid that I will not achieve the effect I want, so if the real scene or physical shooting can If it does, he will definitely be my first choice."

"I discovered another characteristic of your success. You are very serious about movies and have an unimaginable dedication. However, it is said that the shooting location has no heating or air conditioning, and it is a icy and snowy environment. How did you survive? "

"It's not that exaggerated anymore. We brought a lot of oil heaters and portable oxygen tanks, and the shooting time was not long, but for this, I am really grateful to Huanshi.com, the crew, and the actors for being so tolerant and accommodating to me. idea."

"I think the most fundamental reason why they are willing to tolerate and accommodate you must be that they believe in your creative ability. Before the filming started, Luo Chen, the leading actor of this movie, once said in an online interview that he could not refuse your script. I interviewed other actors in the crew of "Fatal Identity", and they all said that the script is very good, I believe this movie will definitely bring surprises to the audience."

"Sister Xiaonan won the award. I always think that a good script is the core of a feature film, so I must have a good and complete script before I can start filming. I think this is also everyone's recognition of my script. .”

……

"I have actually watched "Comet" twice. It is a very creative movie, and it can perfectly integrate some knowledge of physics into the movie. It is amazing and very brain-burning. This "Fatal Identity" is similar Brainstorming movie?"

""Fatal Identity" is not very brain-burning, but it is also a suspense and thriller movie."

"Do you have knowledge of physics?" The audience also laughed mockingly.

"No physics this time, but some psychology."

"Okay, audience friends in front of the TV, remember to go to the cinema on time on January 1 next year to join director Chen Jingxing's small class."

……

In fact, this kind of interview program has a script in advance, and Chen Jingxing has learned about the questions in advance. It is not difficult to deal with it. The main purpose is to promote the film.

Zhao Xiaonan was a little surprised that although Chen Jingxing was not a celebrity, he performed very calmly and freely. He could not only pick up the cliché but also throw it out. The whole interview was smoother than the directors who had been on her show before.
