Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 370
After a round of introductions, Xu Chunni announced loudly: "Okay, the next hour will be handed over to the reporters and friends on the scene. All the front and backstage staff of "Metro to Spring" are very grateful to all the friends in the news field for giving "Metro to Spring" Please pay attention and support to the movie "Subway to Spring". You can ask questions and emphasize that time is limited and there are many journalist friends. Please keep it as simple as possible and have something to do with the movie."

I have to say that this young female host has a good stage presence and her hosting style is also elegant and generous.

The reporters in the audience could not wait for a long time. As soon as Xu Chunni finished speaking, she immediately raised countless hands.

Xu Chunni picked one nearby.

The guy wearing glasses stood up and asked: "I am a reporter from Beijing TV Station..."

"Shh-"

As soon as this guy introduced himself, the audience suddenly burst into boos.The host is from Beijing TV, and the first reporter selected is also from Beijing TV. Don’t make it too obvious that the good news is not going to outsiders.

Xu Chunni on the stage was not embarrassed at all, and she smiled generously towards the audience. Moreover, her smile was not the kind of docile one that was taken advantage of, or that was provocative. It was still a very friendly smile. At the same time, There is also a little cunning hidden secretly.

Of course, the most important thing is to look pretty and pleasant, not pretending, and look cute, so it is easy to get everyone's forgiveness.

This glasses guy from Beijing TV asked director Zhang Baibai: "Director Zhang, it is known that your first TV series "Love to the End" was very successful and created a group of young idols. I would like to ask why you didn't choose If you continue to work hard in the field of TV dramas, what if you choose to make movies?"

This question may seem trivial, but it actually has two meanings. First, if you are very successful in making TV series and it is safe to continue making TV series, why should you take the risk and make a transition to making movies?
The second meaning may not be very polite. You are just a TV series director, why should you make movies?

Zhang Baibai was quite calm. He took the microphone and pointed at the screenwriter Liu Fendou beside him and said with a smile: "Our screenwriter came to me and said that he had written a script called "The Incident of Youthful Lovers", and he also said that I It was a potential film, so I made it. Oh, by the way, I contributed a title called "Subway to Spring."

The glasses guy was obviously not satisfied with this answer and quickly asked: "After filming a TV series and then making a movie, are there any problems with the various conversions?"

Zhang Baibai said calmly: "It's still relatively relaxed, no problem. I don't think there is any big difference between TV series and movies. Anyway, "Will Love" is not shot in the same way as ordinary TV series. From another perspective, "Toward" was not shot according to the so-called movie method. When you are ignorant, you can make it according to your own understanding and interest."

These words were neither arrogant nor humble, but there was a hint of truth behind them. He was obviously a professional at talking nonsense.

The reporters asked questions very enthusiastically, and most of them were aimed at Li Tang and Xu Jinglei. For the audience, what they care about most are the stars. Only those media who claim to have high standards will focus on the director and ask questions, because in their eyes In my eyes, movies are always the director’s art.

"Li Tang, you are also an investor in this movie. I would like to ask why you invested in and starred in this movie?"

"I think the director has just answered this question, is he a potential stock?"

Li Tang's half-joking remark aroused laughter from the audience.

"Of course this is one aspect, but the main thing that attracts me is the script. We have always said that the script is the foundation of a play, and a script can often determine the lower limit of a movie. After reading the script, I felt that the lower limit was very high. So I decided to invest and star in this movie.”

As he spoke, he looked left and right at Xu Jinglei, Wang Li and Gao Yuanyuan beside him, and said with a smile: "Besides, being able to work with so many outstanding colleagues is a rare opportunity for me."

Immediately, another reporter asked: "You have performed many love stories on the screen. How do you view love in real life?"

I have to say that what audiences are most interested in are always the scandals of celebrities. For example, the scandals between Li Tang and Fan Xiaopang have been circulating for several years, and many reporters have photographed the two of them together, but the two have always claimed that they are in the same frame. are good friends.Since they are good friends, it is normal for them to be in the same room.

"Uh……"

Li Tang organized his words a little and said: "Some people say that love is passion, but I think a big part of love is family affection. Passion disappears easily. It is impossible for people to stay in passion all their lives. It is like acting. A love story of joys and sorrows can be performed in half an hour or two hours."

This was not a casual comment, but something he felt. For example, there may still be passion between him and his ex-girlfriend, but it may be more of a family relationship that has been accumulated over the years.

"Excuse me, Xu Jinglei, this is your second time working with Zhang Baibai. Can you tell us about your feelings about this cooperation?"

"When it comes to the feeling of this collaboration, I can only say that I am both lucky and unlucky. Fortunately, I acted in both his TV series debut and movie debut, which means I witnessed his two firsts. But unfortunately, the director, who was filming for the first time, didn't know what to do. Sometimes he had to shoot a scene many times, which made him feel very tired."

Xu Jinglei seemed very comfortable in the interview with reporters. It seemed that she was deliberately making fun of Zhang Baibai, but in fact she was still flattering.

A reporter who watched the trailer asked Zhang Baibai: "Why did you choose the subway as the shooting background? In addition, this film looks like an art film from the title, but it also looks like a commercial film from the cast. Where is the positioning? Woolen cloth?"

Hearing these two questions, Zhang Baibai smiled first, spread his hands and said: "The subway was written in the script, so I filmed the subway. What was filmed in the film is a modern capital, and the subway is not depressing. On weekdays it is very Familiar things become unfamiliar through the lens, and they turn out to be so beautiful!”

"As for whether it is an art film or a commercial film, I think the correct expression should be a commercial art film. Several lines go hand in hand. It mainly relies on the capture of life details and the rendering of emotional tones to express this feeling. For teachers Li Tang and I think the choice of the two actors Jing Lei mainly depends on the characters. At the same time, I don’t need to worry too much about their acting skills.”

In the end, he boasted: "When our movie was screened in Venice, it was welcomed by movie fans from all over the world, especially young movie fans. For this reason, the organizer gave us two additional screenings. Especially when we were in The modern Beijing shown in the movie can be regarded as our due contribution to the promotion of the Beijing Olympics in 08!"

Han Binjiang, who raised his hand several times in succession, finally got the opportunity to ask questions. When he took the microphone handed over by the staff, he did not forget to nod his head in thanks.

Unlike most other reporters who addressed questions to Li Tang by calling him by his first name, he first revealed his identity and then asked Li Tang politely: "Excuse me, Mr. Li Tang, is it your first time to invest in and star in the film by new director Cheng Er?" "The Third Man" has achieved unprecedented success, and this time you have chosen to work with director Zhang Bai, who is directing a film for the first time. Is this a coincidence or do you pay special attention to this group of new directors?"

Obviously this question is to let Li Tang praise himself.

Many reporters at the scene knew this very well, including the guy sitting next to Han Binjiang. Hearing this question, he couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain.But the question itself is still very topical. After all, Li Tang is currently one of the few actors in the entertainment industry who has established his own business.Especially "The Third Man", as Han Binjiang said, has achieved unprecedented success. This time "Subway to Spring" has been shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival again. Everyone is curious whether Li Tang is just lucky. Or is it the so-called discerning eye?
Li Tang took the microphone from Zhang Baibai and nodded towards Han Binjiang who stood up.In fact, he had already answered this question to the other party in a previous interview. Perhaps due to space considerations, the answer to this question did not appear in the final newspaper report.

"How should I put it? Maybe it's a coincidence as you just said. Because I read the scripts in advance every time I take on a role, and the scripts of these two movies happen to be very attractive to me, so I will choose to cooperate with these two directors. As for investment..."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Cheng Er simply had no money at the time. As for "Subway to Spring," when director Zhang Baibai and teacher Liu Fendou found me, they told me I am particularly suitable for the role of Jianbin, and there are also excellent actors such as Xu Jinglei, Wang Li, Yuanyuan, Fan Wei, etc. joining the cast, all sorts of things. Finally, tell me that the investment is not close, can you invest some?"

Because he spoke so vividly, everyone in the audience couldn't help laughing.

"The script is a good one, and I really want to play the character in it. So what do you think I should do? I can only invest in it! You may not believe it when I tell you. That's why I set up a personal studio, and then I made a mistake. I got all the way to where I am now by accident.”

It has to be said that his pretending is absolutely fresh and refined, and in the eyes of the reporters at the scene, this unintentional and particularly legendary scene is exactly what the audience loves to watch, and it deserves a special mention.

The one-hour interview time flew by in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. When the host Xu Chunni announced the end of the press conference, some reporters rushed over and asked questions.

The crew and creators could only apologize to the reporters while retreating backstage under the protection of the staff.

However, those photojournalists were very clever. They packed up their things and went to the entrance of the red carpet to seize advantageous terrain. The red carpet of the premiere was about to start in half an hour.

"Miss Xu, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Tang did not forget to thank the host Xu Chunni. The pace of today's press conference was very well controlled.Although it costs money, it is definitely worth the money.

"Teacher Li, thank you very much. I would like to ask, can I take a photo with you?"

Xu Chunni looked at Li Tang with eyes full of little stars, with the expression of a fan meeting an idol.

"of course can."

"Thank you, Teacher Li!"

Xu Chunni quickly greeted her fellow photographers, stood next to Li Tang and took a group photo.

The photo effect can be seen directly on the display screen of the digital camera. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. Xu Chunni also deliberately tilted her head in the direction of Li Tang, just like a photo of a couple, making this newly debuted host a little bit deer-like. A bumpy feeling.

There were more than 30 guests attending the premiere today. In addition to Li Tang's connections, there were also friends from the industry invited by Xu Jinglei. Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend Wang Shuo could not come.However, Wang Shuo, who sought refuge abroad and returned home in despair, has been keeping a low profile in recent years.

Writers are sometimes like celebrities. If no works come out for a long time, they will be easily forgotten.

Then there is the relationship between Zhang Baibai and Yu Dong who also invited many people.

When everyone came to the lounge, many people were already there, such as director Xiao Teng, Diao Yinan, Li Yapeng, the film's music producer Zhang Yadong, Xu Jinglei's friend Huang Jue, etc.

Fatty also arrived early. She was quite stunning in a red dress. Because the weather was a bit cold, she also added a milky white shawl outside, which made her a little less sexy but a little more intellectual.At this time, she was completely acting like a hostess, welcoming and escorting people, and shuttling among everyone.

When the creative team came in, there was another round of pleasantries.Xiaopang is very stunning, but the famous lady has her own plans. Everyone in the circle knows what kind of relationship she has with Li Tang, but they just don't tell the truth.

And Gao Yuanyuan, who was dressed in a fresh look, appeared on the scene and immediately attracted the attention of many people.Zhang Yadong, who seems to be introverted and known as a "musical talent", actually took the initiative to say hello.

Director Xiao Teng on the side saw this scene and couldn't help but said to Li Tang sourly: "Did you see it? It's attracting bees and butterflies!"

Back then, he had thoughts about Xiao Gao, but he could only watch helplessly as he continued to flatter Li Tang, and because of his relationship with Li Tang, he had no choice but to give up.

But when I think of Li Tang's attitude towards Gao Yuanyuan over the years, I feel particularly unwilling.But it seems that it is not accurate to say that Luo Hua is deliberately ruthless. He heard that when filming the movie "Subway to Spring", Gao Yuanyuan kept running towards Li Tang.He now seriously doubts that Li Tang is raising fish!
But in this blink of an eye, Gao Yuanyuan didn't talk to the musical talent who came forward to show his courtesy. Instead, she turned around and was chatting and laughing with Fan Xiaopang. He couldn't help but secretly admire him. Look at him, the red flag didn't fall down and the colorful flags were fluttering.

Li Tang glanced at him, ignored his topic, and asked, "How are you doing recently? Do you have a direction?"

Director Xiao Teng has been idle for more than half a year since filming the TV series "You Must" starring Chen Kun and Lin Xinru.Although this guy seems to be quite out of tune at ordinary times, he is definitely serious about his work.He is not the kind of second-generation director who rests on his parents' achievements and is not interested in making progress. On the contrary, he is very thoughtful and often talks about surpassing Director Teng.

"No, I've been handed a lot of scripts, but there's nothing suitable." Director Xiao Teng sighed and shook his head.

Since his debut, except for the failure of his film debut "One Hundred..." last year, several other TV series have achieved good ratings, especially "You Must", which was released this year, and its ratings still remain at [-]%. Top ten of the year.Therefore, many film and television companies took the initiative to submit scripts to him.

After all, he graduated from the Department of Literature of Nortel. Director Xiao Teng's literary quality is quite good. Ordinary scripts simply cannot catch his eye. Now he has an attitude of preferring nothing to nothing.

At this time, he joked to himself: "I will treat it as a long vacation for myself now!"

　Sorry, maybe due to the weather, I haven't been in good condition these two days.Try to do two updates tomorrow.
