While Yang Mi was helping him pack his luggage for this promotional trip, Xu Xin took Su Meng and drove directly to Xiying Film Studio.

With the end of "The Voice", the West Film Studio has become a lot quieter during the day without the team led by the "tour guide" to promote the culture of West Film.

There was no one else in the entire factory except some new employees who came this year who were cleaning up and taking out the household garbage intentionally or unintentionally created by tourists.

Xu Xin arrived in front of the office building, and greetings immediately rang out from the crowd cleaning:

"Director Xu."

"Hello, Director Xu."

"Hello, Director Xu."

Xu Xin nodded politely in response and walked up the steps step by step.

The remaining dubbing of "33 Days" was handed over to Xue Yong, and he only had the task of coming over to review after the dubbing stage.

After entering the office building, he went straight to Qi Lei's office.

After knocking on the door and entering, he saw Qi Lei holding a phone and talking about something unknown.

Seeing this, Xu Xin came to sit in front of the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"It's a healthy competition. What we make is a movie. It is an artistic work that enriches the spirit of the broad masses of the people. There is no such thing as transcendence or non-transcendence."

Hearing Qi Lei's words, Xu Xin's ears twitched.

"The prosperity of the film market is something that all filmmakers like to see. It is precisely because of such diversity that Chinese-language films have completely enriched people's entertainment life. This is the glory of all filmmakers."

"These excellent films are evidence of the overall rise of Chinese-language films. Haha, if possible, I hope that 30 excellent films will be released at the same time every month, so that the audience will be more selective and the market will enter a healthy competition cycle.

"

"...Yes, that's right, this is our attitude. Our competition is a healthy competition among film practitioners. We hope for the prosperity of the film industry more than anyone else, and hope that more and more excellent films will drive the entire film industry.

The rise of production capacity.”

"Well, of course. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. In the prosperous age when a hundred schools of thought are contending, each school can show what they have learned, which is a good thing. Moreover, directors Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen both came from our factory.

Excellent directors, they are well-known internationally and are a business card of Chinese-language films. For "Hawthorn Tree", they are pioneers. The younger generations should learn from them firstly to imitate and secondly to encourage. We all contribute to Chinese-language films.

A member of Prosperity. They are seniors, friends, brothers, and a family."

"Well...it's okay. Thank you for the interview."

"Okay, not only "Hawthorn Tree", but also "The Orphan of Zhao" and "Let the Bullets Fly" will be a big hit at the box office. I also hope that more and more filmmakers will contribute excellent works to the film market."

"OK, bye."

The phone hangs up.

Qi Lei breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking at Xu Xin sitting on the sofa smoking, he said with a smile:

"Exclusive interview with Popular Cinema magazine."

"Popular Film" is one of the most professional and authoritative film magazines in China.

The origin of the "Hundred Flowers Award".

It has been published for more than 50 years. It is a monthly film magazine endorsed by great figures.

Xu Xin was not surprised that Qi Lei accepted an exclusive interview with this magazine.

Just like he said in the interview, filmmakers are all "brothers", and Western Film Studio and "Popular Cinema" are also brothers on some levels.

It's state-run.

So, he made a joke:

"It seems I'm not famous enough. Why don't you interview me?"

Qi Lei smiled and waved his hand:

"In terms of seniority, you can't get in now. Rather than an interview, this is more like guidance than a personal interview."

Xu Xin naturally understands this truth.

What he meant, summed up in Mandarin, is:

"We use mainstream media to set the tone first and guide the entire framework of this matter. All media must operate within this framework and cannot cross the line. As public figures, they must play a positive value-oriented role. For "Popular"

This is true for the movie, and it is also true for other media outlets that are receiving interviews one after another."

To put it bluntly, I just don’t want the media to exaggerate this incident and stir up antagonism.

That won't work.

Therefore, the person who came out to interview at this time was Qi Lei, not Xu Xin.

Of course, this is superficial.

On the surface everyone is in harmony.

But it's hard to say whether it will knock the dog's brains out secretly.

It’s true that you are a state-owned factory, and there are related people standing behind me.

Essentially, box office and awards speak for themselves.

The biggest role of this exclusive interview is to stop the media from fanning the flames and causing waves.

All filmmakers should stop engaging in hype.

Whoever touches this line will seek death.

So, after hearing this, Xu Xin asked:

"Does this count as a preemptive strike?"

"It counts, but it doesn't count."

Qi Lei stood up, walked to the sofa, sat down and said:

"We are not rude. Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen sometimes meet each other when promoting the movie. Our promotion work starts after the end of "The Voice"... It is enough to give face. In addition, everyone

We are in love, you give me face, and I will give you face. So... "The Orphan of Zhao" and "Let the Bullets Fly" don't actually need to be considered. No matter how high the box office is, it won't have much impact on us."

"It's mainly "If You Are the One 2", right?"

Xu Xin was delighted:

"They're still waiting."

"No."

Qi Lei was also happy:

"Otherwise, why would it be released at the same time as you?"

Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. Instead, there was a...

How to describe it...

The down-and-out old Eight Banners looked down upon the nouveau riche.

Yes, that's it.

Almost exactly the same.

But the strange thing is that among the people in Beijing circles, the so-called disciples of the Eight Banners are the most numerous.

But this is what Qi Lei is like at this moment.

"Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" was picked up this year. With this momentum, the Beijing circle is also confident. After you got the Silver Lion, they seem to have realized it... We won't be able to do it if we don't stop it.

Ah……"

This was the first time Qi Lei showed such emotions in front of Xu Xin.

In the past, he had always been smiling, but today he looked murderous.

But for Xu Xin, this kind of Qi Lei is more complete.

Thinking about it, just a friendly atmosphere may not be able to control these people after Mr. Tian leaves.

While greeting people with a smile, you must have a knife in your hand.

Thinking of this, Xu Xin asked:

"Did Mr. Tian ask for this? Or did you contact Brother Qi?"

"Mr. Tian went to a meeting. He left early today. Starting next year, cable TV will begin to iterate. It seems... it will be connected to network signals or something. He wants to fight for the TV station of our factory to be included in the fixed station.

go.

After waiting for a year or two, most people's cable TVs will be able to see our channel all over the country. At first, we were not sure about this, as various TV stations were competing for quotas, but our factory's performance this year is too good.

Now, he is qualified to go up as one of the first batch of outstanding local stations. So he directly handed over the matters here to me."

Hearing this, Xu Xin felt at ease.

Well, OK.

The second in command also has a strong backbone.

That's OK.

So, he said:

"I plan to take a trip to "Interview with Yang Lang"."

Qi Lei was stunned...

Then he frowned:

"As for "Interview with Yang Lang"... we have to find someone, but we may not be able to do it in time."

"We don't need to come here. I can just make a phone call."
To be continued...
