917. Fate is wonderful.(1/4)
"Does Director Xu have any expectations for this film festival?"
"What do you think of the heroines in "The Grandmaster" and "Heart of the Burning Sun"? Is Liu Zhishi a threat to Yang Mi's hope of winning the gold medal?"
"If "Scorching Sun" can win the Best Actor Award, who does Director Xu think has a better chance?"
All kinds of questions were thrown at Xu Xin's face from the beginning of the interview.
The firepower is called concentration.
No one cares about Zhang Songwen and Zhong Changyou at all.
But this is normal.
There are only three people to be interviewed. If we don’t interview the most famous one, how can we interview two “nobodies”?
At least, not at the beginning of the interview.
As he gets older, Xu Xin actually becomes less and less interested in this kind of media interviews.
Even speaking, there is no need to think carefully, and a formula is summarized.
If people ask you how so and so is, just praise them.
When someone asks you what you think about something, tell them to look at it from both sides.
If others ask you how you would describe yourself, be humble to the core.
As long as these three things are fulfilled, it will be impossible for the entire entertainment industry to offend anyone.
Of course, this premise is not specific to something that is happening. For example, if a reporter asked Xu Xin what he thought of Sword Sect, he would definitely say, "What is Sword Sect? I can't understand it."
And the reason why he did this was not because he didn't care about media channels at all.
It's just... I don't know when it started, but the media... especially the entertainment media have become more and more polarized.
On the one hand, they are desperately trying to find faults with you and hype you up. They want to make a big deal out of even trivial things, so as to attract eyeballs and traffic first before talking about anything else.
The other side goes even further, directly spreading rumors, distorting, and taking quotes out of context. As long as one sentence is divided into good and bad, then they will definitely only be left with the bad, and all the good will be deleted.
Therefore, in the face of these interviews, Xu Xin was just fooling around.
Talking nonsense.
Just think of it as a meeting.
Unless he is really asked about something he feels necessary to say, otherwise, he is a chubby and smooth person.
Don't let anyone find anything wrong with him in the interview.
Even if the reporter just said, "Director Xu, are you surprised that "1942" was not selected for the Berlin Film Festival?"
Take a look, is this human speech?
The film festival's selection criteria are that films released this year or films that are not released this year but have not yet been released can be selected.
You don't even understand the rules. "1942" is obviously a movie that was released last year and it doesn't comply with the rules at all. You don't even understand this, why are you asking me?
But Xu Xin didn't refute, and didn't even bother to educate him. He just shook his head:
"I think the Berlin Film Festival still has its rules. Whether it's unexpected or not is not up to me, it's up to the film festival. This is my answer."
After answering questions for about ten or twenty minutes, and trying his best to answer all the reporters' questions, he pushed the microphone forward:
"My questions have almost been answered. If you have any questions about actors and production, you can ask Director Zhong and Teacher Zhang Songwen. Believe me, they have quite a lot of material~"
Upon hearing this, the reporter who reacted the fastest had already raised his hands and stood up:
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhang Songwen, how do you feel about the character you play? What kind of pressure does playing a gay character bring to you..."
The "click-click" flash started to flash.
Zhang Songwen suddenly became a little nervous.
He swallowed subconsciously, glanced at Xu Xin, and then approached the microphone:
"I think my biggest experience in this drama is that I collide with so many good actors. Everyone is excellent, and we are actors. Whatever the director asks us to play, we just have to do our best to perform it well.
There won’t be a lot of pressure.”
Okay, the answer is quite satisfactory.
This is Xu Xin's evaluation of him.
That'll do.
Teacher Zhang is not as conspicuous as Yang Mi... I guess she is here today to talk about the "kissing scene" that reporters most want to hear.
She knew exactly what the reporters wanted to hear.
And he can handle this problem with ease.
But Zhang Songwen is not.
He answered very simply.
Use answers from the film and television industry to answer these journalists from the entertainment industry.
That’s okay too.
Fame doesn't come in a day, it goes away slowly.
…
This press conference was actually very boring for Xu Xin.
In fact, the same goes for Yang Mi.
So-called "artists" actually go through this process when facing the media. It's very fresh at first, but after the freshness wears off, they become endlessly bored.
In Xu Xin's impression, when his wife and he first fell in love, "girl hunting" was in full swing. She would often say to him things like, "Today, a reporter from XX media interviewed me." She was full of desire for fame.
yearning and uncontrollable excitement.
Unfortunately, we can never go back to that time.
At the end of the interview, Xu Xin felt relieved after taking another photo with the cafe owner.
"Goodbye everyone, thank you for your hard work."
Finally, he waved goodbye politely and let out a long sigh of relief while sitting in the car.
"call……"
"Mr. Xu, where are we going? Back to the hotel?"
Evan, the dedicated driver sent by Volvo, asked.
Xu Xin nodded:
"Okay. Let's go to the hotel first. I'll make a call and ask, Evan, are you familiar with Berlin?"
Evan responded:
"Yes, Mr. Xu, I am from Berlin."
"Okay. Let's go first. I'll make a call."
He dialed Yang Mi's number directly.
"Hey, are you finished?"
"Well, it just ended. Where are you?"
"The hotel gym. Come back. Lao Lang recommended me a local restaurant in Germany. It is said to be quite famous. Let's go and try it."
"Okay, then when I'm almost there, you come down and I can pick you up?"
"Oh, no! Let's take a taxi!"
"Take a taxi?"
"Yes, you don't want to take a Mercedes-Benz taxi?"
"Well……"
Xu Xin thought about it a thousand times and never thought that... his wife actually wanted to take a Mercedes-Benz E.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But...it's up to her to come out and play.
So he laughed and said:
"Okay, then I'll call you when I'm almost there?"
"Yeah, I went to take a shower too."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Zhong Changyou and Zhang Songwen in the back row and said:
"Brother Zhong, Teacher Zhang, we won't be together at noon. Yang Mi wants to take a German taxi."
Zhong Changyou smiled and nodded:
"Okay. In fact, some people in our factory have gone there to experience it before."
"oh?"
