Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 276 Feng: I am the only one who can defeat the enemy

When everyone heard this question, they almost thought that this person was here to cause trouble.

But what they asked is not wrong.

If you think about it carefully, this movie is really similar to "Lost in Thailand" in many ways.

At this time, Fan Binbin and others were also looking at Cheng Xi with a little nervousness.

Cheng Xi calmly picked up the microphone, thought for a moment, and began to answer:

"Thank you for the question, classmate. You are very perceptive."

"But it's not just Lost in Thailand. There are many excellent films that have given me a lot of inspiration. Watching a lot of films is the basic skill of a director."

"As for the similarities mentioned by my classmates, I think they are just superficial. The core of the two is completely different."

"Lost in Thailand tells a story about internal competition within a company. The story is driven primarily by the interactions between the three characters, reflecting the midlife crisis and ultimately revolving around family."

"Thailand is just a superficial carrier. In fact, we can be in Singapore or South Korea. There is no difference. But why did we choose Thailand? First, it is close, second, it is down-to-earth, and third, it is cheap. Cost of living in Japan and South Korea is high."

Everyone laughed good-naturedly after hearing the last part.

“Some students may also want to ask, why not choose domestically?”

Cheng Xi paused for a moment, keeping the question in suspense, and continued:

“Because it was filmed in the country, it can’t be shown.”

This time everyone laughed even louder.

Fan Binbin and Wang Baoqiang also admired the director's wit, and even Lu Yu's eyes lit up.

Is this really a 20-year-old young man?

"And 'Detective Chinatown' uses a series of cases in Chinatown to drive the story forward, involving many characters."

"It reflects the living conditions and operating mechanisms of different Chinese communities in Chinatown. Ultimately, it discusses the origins of good and evil and the complexity of human nature, even with a touch of Buddhist and Taoist thought."

"From this perspective, Detective Chinatown and Lost in Thailand are completely different. Thank you again for this student's question."

This answer immediately won applause from everyone present.

Since it was just finished, many people didn’t think that deeply about it.

But it’s really good that this female student can immediately and keenly perceive the similarities and differences.

second question.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Yixin from the School of Media."

"I'd like to ask Sister Binbin, there's news that you auditioned but were eliminated, but because Tang Yan was ill, you filled in for the role of Ah Xiang. Is this true? And what do you think of the role of Ah Xiang?"

At this time, Fan Binbin picked up the microphone, thought for a moment, and answered one by one.

“Thank you for the question.”

"First of all, I went to the audition, and it's true that the director didn't choose me. I should probably ask the director about this. Director Cheng, I clearly support Ah Xiang, so why didn't you choose me? This made me doubt my own ability at the time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed, and Cheng Xi could only touch his nose.

Good heavens, you really brought the trouble to me.

Fan Binbin easily dismissed the question.

"Didn't I choose you in the end? Everything is the best arrangement."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone smiled.

"Secondly, I feel sorry for Tang Yan's illness. After all, Ah Xiang is a very good character. Sometimes actors are just like that and will encounter various problems. I also wish her to continue to find suitable roles."

"Finally, I think Ah Xiang is a lonely and strong person, with a sense of loyalty that belongs to the Chinese blood. She was willing to help Tang Ren guarantee. She also knows how to be grateful. Tang Ren saved her and she took the bullet for Tang Ren. Her hearty smile at the final farewell represents her strength. As for loneliness, she is in her 30s, so beautiful, and single in a foreign country. She may feel lonely occasionally like me."

“At this point, I feel like I resonate with the character.”

After listening to Fan Binbin's final sincere answer, Cheng Xi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up behind her back.

Fan Binbin saw it and glanced at Cheng Xi.

Then some students asked questions to Wang Baoqiang, Chen He and others.

Whether it's sharp or light, if you don't know how to do it, just practice Tai Chi to relieve it.

Anyway, it's acceptable.

The last question comes to Zhuo Yunjin.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhuo Yunjin from Yuanpei College."

"Director Cheng, I'm a fan of yours. I'd like to ask you why you chose to play the role of Qin Feng yourself, since you've always appeared as a director before."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuo, for your question."

"It was also a coincidence. We didn't find any particularly suitable actors when we were casting, and the film was going to be made into a series. The team was in the process of risk assessment, so they suggested I give it a try."

"Secondly, time is tight, and we don't have more time for another round of casting. As everyone knows, there were some twists and turns along the way, and we almost missed today's release date." Everyone has more or less heard about the twists and turns along the way, and someone asked earlier about the issue of Fan Binbin replacing Tang Yan.

"The three numbers are just for the box office. I guess a lot of people heard that I played the role and wanted to see how bad my acting is."

"Look, I can kill three birds with one stone. I'm here."

Cheng Xi spread his hands and the audience burst into laughter.

I didn’t expect Director Cheng’s answer to be so down-to-earth.

Then the six of them signed autographs for some student representatives and took a group photo.

The premiere was not completed until 10 o'clock in the evening.

Cheng Xi thought that since he was at Yanda, he might as well take a walk by the Weiming Lake.

Get rid of the recent fatigue.

So he put on a mask and a hat, and found the back door to leave.

Unexpectedly, Fan Binbin also followed and sneaked out through the back door.

"You answered well tonight!"

"Thank you for the compliment, director. No matter who I'm following now!"

"."

"You seem quite familiar with Yanda?"

"Yes, I... I have a cousin who studies here."

"Sure, the whole family is full of talented people."

"Isn't it? My genes, why don't you want to borrow them?"

"Pah. Talking about business all the time."

When Fan Binbin heard that Cheng Xi wanted to influence her genes, she couldn't help but blush.

But she has been through a lot.

Of course, she also understood that Cheng Xi was just joking and teasing her.

"Let's go, let's go to the lake, the scenery is beautiful."

"Okay, you lead the way, great talent."

So Cheng Xi took Fan Binbin's hand and walked towards the lake under the moonlight.

"Do you still feel lonely now?"

“Not lonely, but a little empty.”

"."

While Cheng Xi was holding his premiere, "Private Tailor" also held its premiere with great fanfare.

Compared to Cheng Xi, which only has a few main creators in place, this side can be said to be full of stars.

Huayi’s face is indeed good.

While everyone was chatting with each other and socializing.

At this time, Wang Zhonglei excitedly pulled Feng's pants aside and whispered:

"According to the marketing team's current box office forecast, 'Personal Tailor' should gross over 24 million in 7000 hours!"

When Feng Kuazi heard this, he also became excited.

It's only Thursday and the box office has reached 7000 million!

There is a great chance that sales will exceed 100 million in a single day this weekend!

Including the previous 8000 million in advertising sponsorship, this movie started making money on the first day of its release!

"Sure, is there any news about Detective Chinatown?"

"We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out, but no matter how good he is, can he get 7000 million on Thursday? Don't worry, he'll be your stepping stone this time!"

So after the premiere, Feng Kuazi happily accepted interviews from the media.

"Director Feng, what is your box office forecast for 'Personal Customization'?"

"I don't have any expectations. But whatever I shoot has box office success. Serious films have box office success, and entertaining films have even better box office success."

"So what do you think Director Feng would like to say about the film being released in the same timeframe as Detective Chinatown?"

Feng Kuazi raised his head high and said:
"There's nothing much to say. In the past, no one who had the same schedule as me had a higher box office than me. I feel like I'm alone in my quest for victory."

When the reporters heard this, they felt like they had gotten big news.

They all became excited.
