Chapter 528 Interview
The Golden Junmei Awards Ceremony ended, it was already very late.

There are many reporters outside the venue, wanting to interview the award-winning guests as soon as possible.

It was too late, Fang Xing didn't want to be dragged by reporters for an hour, so he hurried into the car and left the venue.

When I got home, it was already early morning.

Lu Xianger fell asleep on the sofa, and the end of the awards ceremony was still playing on the TV.

Apparently watching the awards show and then falling asleep on the couch.

Fang Xing walked over and picked her up.

Lu Xianger woke up and made a frightening gesture: "Dang Dang!"

But at first glance, he still looked sleepy.

Fang Xing thought it was funny, and said, "Go to bed first if you're sleepy, I told you I'll be back late tonight."

Lu Xiang'er curled her lips and said, "Anyway, I want to watch the live broadcast, so I'll wait while watching."

"Then fell asleep on the sofa." Fang Xing carried her back to the room and put her on the bed.

Lu Xiang'er giggled, got off the bed barefoot again, and said, "I haven't washed yet, I'm going to be a delicate pig girl today."

As she said that, she went into the bathroom to wash up, and then put on a mask.

Fang Xing took a quick shower.

Participating in the award ceremony seems to be done without doing anything, but it is quite tiring to work all day.

Lu Xianger came out with a mask on, and asked, "Where's the trophy? I saw you won the prize, let me see."

She went to the living room and dug out two trophies from a cardboard box.

One is the best TV series award, and the other is the best director award.

She picked it up and admired it carefully, then took it into the study and was about to find a place to put it.

Fang Xing came out of the shower, saw her cleaning the cabinets in the study, and said with a smile: "The Best TV Drama Award will be brought to the company tomorrow. The honor that belongs to the crew is more appropriate for the company."

Lu Xiang'er thought for a while and said, "That's right."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the trophies placed in the bookcase and sighed leisurely: "Golden Melody Award, Best Actor, Best Director, there are really all kinds of awards."

She said, wiped a trophy in the bookcase with a towel, and then coughed.

Seeing her expression, Fang Xing couldn't help shaking his head and holding back a smile: "Yes, yes, this trophy has the highest gold content, an international competition trophy."

Lu Xianger was even happier.

She doesn't have many trophies, but the Paganini International Violin Competition trophy is indeed the honor she cares most about.

She thought for a while and said, "By the way, I'm planning to participate in the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition next year with "Blessed Lovers". Do you think I can win the prize?"

Fang Xing thought for a while and asked, "Isn't Tchaikovsky's violin piece going to be used in this competition?"

Lu Xianger nodded and replied: "Yes, Tchaikovsky's compositions will be used in the second and third rounds, but in the third round, two pieces will be played, one is "Concerto in D Major" and the other is "Concerto in D Major". Concertos by other composers may be chosen by oneself.”

Many international violin competitions are named after famous violin players and composers, and these competitions sometimes have special rules.

For example, the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition stipulates that the second and third rounds of the competition should use Tchaikovsky's violin pieces.

Of course, the competition also gave the contestants autonomy. One of the two competition repertoires in the third round can be chosen by themselves.

In fact, Fang Xing was not sure if "The Butterfly Lovers" had an advantage in participating in international competitions.

However, this is an opportunity for culture to go global.

No matter whether he can win the prize or not, Fang Xing will support it.

"I'll accompany you then."

……

the next day.

Fang woke up relatively late, woke up at ten o'clock, and went to the company in a hurry. By the way, he took the best TV drama award he won last night back to the company's showroom to display.

When I arrived at the door of the company, I found many reporters guarding the door, asking for interviews.

The Jin Junmei Awards Ceremony ended last night, and the reporters blocked many award-winning guests for interviews, but Fang Xing slipped away relatively quickly, so the reporters didn't get to interview them.

Now Fang Xing has even won such important awards as Best TV Series and Best Director, and he is the one who is on the forefront of entertainment news.

How could the entertainment reporters miss such breaking news, so they all wanted to get Fang Xing's interview news as soon as possible.

Fang Xing entered the company directly from the basement without being blocked by reporters.

However, after arriving at the company.

Qiao Yinghong reminded: "Boss, the reporter has been waiting outside all morning, do you want to accept an interview?"

Fang Xing replied casually, "Didn't you just interview yesterday?"

"That was the interview after the red carpet. After winning the award, I haven't interviewed yet."

Qiao Yinghong paused, and added: "Many of the cooperating reporters sent me messages, hoping to interview first-hand news. Would you like to take some time to answer a few questions?"

Fang Xing looked at the time and said, "Okay. Call all the reporters in. We're having lunch after the interview."

then.

The assistant invited the reporter from the lobby to the conference room.

Fang Xing was already sitting in the conference room waiting.

Qiao Yinghong asked someone to send water to the media reporter, saying: "Everyone has worked hard, drink some water first. Fang Xing was tired last night, got up late today, and just arrived at the company. The interview will start immediately, and we will take turns to ask questions."

As she spoke, she handed the microphone to the nearest reporter.

The questions the reporters wanted to ask were basically the same, and they were all related to the Jin Junmei Awards Ceremony last night.

Reporter: "Director Fang, you have already won the best director of the three major TV drama awards, and you will be a great director in the future. What do you want to say?"

Fang Xing thought for a while and replied, "Nothing special, the main reason is that my director team is quite good."

As he spoke, Fang Xing motioned to Zhang Yigao who was next to him, and introduced: "This is my assistant director, and he is in charge of many shots."

During the filming of "Dark Glory", Fang Xing also participated in the live broadcast of the second season finale of "The Voice of China".

When he was not on the set, Zhang Yigao was mainly in charge of directing.

This division of labor is very common in the TV drama industry.

Sometimes in order to catch up with the shooting progress, the director and the assistant director will lead the team separately and go to different places to shoot scenes.

The more mature the crew, the more common this division of labor is.

Fang Xing added: "Everyone can also interview my assistant director. In fact, he is fully capable of filming TV dramas by himself. In my team, he is considered inferior."

Zhang Yigao quickly waved his hands: "No, no, Director Fang is overrated. I only realized how small I am after following him, and learned a lot from him."

Most of the entertainment reporters present knew Zhang Yigao's resume.

Zhang Yigao once also filmed a small online drama, but later he rushed to two dramas in a row, and then the film and television investment company lost confidence in him.

Since then, he has only received some assistant director jobs, and has never picked up a guide tube again.

During that loneliest time, Zhang Yigao experienced a lot, and even once wanted to leave the industry.

It's just that this is what he learned. He came from a major and wants to switch to other careers. He has no experience and no funds.

Therefore, he worked as an assistant director on the crew, and even worked as an oddball on the crew for several years, until he was in his 30s, but he didn't find a chance to turn himself around.

Until Fang Xing prepared "The Beginning", he needed to find a director with a professional background to cooperate with him. He talked to many directors in the industry, but none of them were suitable.

This gave Zhang Yigao the opportunity to enter the Ark culture.

in fact.

When preparing for "The Beginning", Ark Culture had already filmed "Wulin Biography", and it was a great success.

At that time, there were many second-tier or even first-tier directors who were interested in Fang Xing's new drama.

After all, there has been a popular TV series, and the new series will definitely attract the attention of the industry.

Therefore, Fang Xing met many second-tier and even first-tier directors at that time.

These directors are also willing to take on the drama "The Beginning", but only if they direct it alone.

What Fang Xing wanted was a dual-director system, which didn't meet the expectations of these famous directors, so naturally they couldn't agree.

Directors above the second-tier in the industry basically have no shortage of jobs. As long as they come up with good projects, they will definitely be able to attract investment.

Even if they are not personally preparing film and television projects, some film and television companies will hire them to direct.

When a director can reach the level above the second line, he has a bit of a temper.

Therefore, when Fang Xing said that he wanted a dual-director system, these famous directors were not willing to accept the job.

In this case.

Zhang Yigao came to Ark Culture for an interview.

At that time, his resume was not good. He had filmed a small-budget online drama that was a little popular, and then hit the street continuously. In the end, he could only work as an assistant director on the crew.

Situations like his are very common in the film and television industry.

There are so many directing graduates graduating from the film academy every year, but not many can actually make TV dramas.

Most of the directing graduates are good enough to be able to shoot commercials and MVs.

If a small-cost online drama can be produced, it can already be touted in the industry.

In his small circle, Zhang Yigao was once a person who had filmed a TV series, but he never got the chance to be a director again in the next ten years.

The competition in this industry is so fierce.

Zhang Yigao also came to the interview of Ark Culture with the attitude of giving it a try.

As a result, Fang Xing fell in love with the short film he made for graduation.

What Fang Xing needs is a director who is professional enough to cooperate with him.

Famous directors are unwilling. Zhang Yigao, who has been around for ten years and has achieved nothing, but a director with a professional background is just right.

Since Zhang Yigao joined "The Beginning", it was like riding on a rocket.

After that, the TV series filmed became more and more popular.

His current resume is already very scary in the film and television industry.

After all, in his list of works, the names of the series of TV series are too fierce, "The Beginning", "The Pretender", "Hurricane", "Nirvana in Fire", "Dark Glory".

These TV series are all in his list of works.

While most of it is just an assistant director, that's enough.

For the audience, they may not pay attention to who the assistant director is.

However, the industry is very clear that even if it is only an assistant director, the gold content is very high.

Fang Xing also hoped to give more opportunities to his partners in the director team, so when the reporter was interviewing, he brought the topic to Zhang Yigao.

The reporter looked at Zhang Yigao, and began to ask: "Director Zhang, your current works are thick enough, have you ever thought about leaving Ark Culture and filming dramas independently?"

Zhang Yigao didn't expect the reporter to talk about such a sharp topic.

He widened his eyes and said, "I haven't thought about it."

Reporter: "Why didn't you think about it? It's because Fang Xing is here, don't you dare to tell the truth?"

Zhang Yigao's expression was uglier than crying: "Can you not be so ruthless? I am just a little assistant director, and I just want to follow Director Fang and contribute a little bit of my strength."

He clasped his hands together and begged the reporter for mercy.

How could the news reporters let him go like this? If they don't get some news, they won't show their style, so they turned to Fang Xing and asked:

"Fang Xing, have you ever thought about letting Director Zhang go solo? He has filmed dramas by himself ten years ago. There are rumors that most of your work as a director is actually done by the assistant director, but the honor is yours." One took it. Is it true?"

The several assistant directors present widened their eyes at the same time, wanting to go up and strangle this stirring news reporter by the neck.

Fang Xing was very relaxed, and replied casually: "If they want to make an independent drama, I will support it. As long as they have this idea, bring the script and project proposal to the company. If the project has potential, the company can even invest in it." .

"Of course, I have very strict requirements for film and television drama projects. I don't need to explain this. My assistant director should be clear."

The Jidang news reporter turned to Zhang Yigao again and asked, "Director Zhang, Director Fang said that as long as you want to go solo, you can even invest in it. Have you ever thought about giving it a try?"

Zhang Yigao emphasized: "I don't have such an idea for the time being, and Director Fang is the most scripted, and he has very strict requirements for film and television projects. It is not easy at all to come up with a script that satisfies Director Fang."

Another assistant director interjected and added: "To be honest, it may be easier to get investment from other film and television companies, but it will only be more difficult to get investment from Ark Culture."

The reporter asked: "Why? Is Director Fang's requirements for film and television projects really so high?"

Zhang Yigao thought for a while and replied: "This is for sure. Only when the requirements are strict can the quality of the series be guaranteed. In fact, there are many rumors on the Internet that Director Fang is very strict in selecting actors, but in fact he is very strict with the script, service and morals. The requirements for globalization are equally stringent.”

Now, Zhang Yigao's resume is already very thick, the assistant director of five dramas "The Beginning", "Hurricane", "Nirvana in Fire", "The Pretender" and "Dark Glory".

Even if it's just an assistant director, the gold content is not low at all.

If Zhang Yigao wants to make independent dramas now, and find investment in film and television companies in the industry, it will not be difficult to get A-level investment.

only.

After staying in Ark Culture for a long time, Zhang Yigao is even more reluctant to seek investment from other film and television companies.

Because, once you get the investment from other film and television companies, you have to make dramas according to the requirements of the investors.

Zhang Yigao has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years, and he knows the rules of this industry very well.

Moreover, his current resume is really good-looking, but once the drama he has invested in hits the market, he will fall into a trough like ten years ago.

Therefore, he is very cautious about this matter.

The news reporter turned to Fang Xing again and asked, "Fang Xing, do you have a strong desire to control, suppressing your director team for the sake of work, and not giving them a chance to stand out?"

Fang Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't want to let go of the big news. In fact, the scale of Ark Culture is getting bigger and bigger. In the future, the film and television projects may not be directed by me personally. Moreover, Ark Culture has always been to stay as you like. , Only when the team is united can the content be done well.”
