Although the program "Youth Role Models" is a serious talk show and is full of preaching, it has a high viewership rate.
The reason is that the topic is very controversial, the angle is extremely sharp, and the attitude is very sharp.
Almost every episode that is broadcast triggers a public opinion storm.
Among them, some people and topics with particularly great influence can even affect the rise and fall of the stock market or the introduction of some local policies and regulations.
Lu Hao had never seen such a scene before.
But now, he has seen it.
For example, right now...
These are questions Xin Wen prepared in advance.
"According to some survey data, since you semi-dropped out of school last year to start making films, quite a few young college students have followed your lead. Looking at the Film Guild's website, we can see that from July of last year to this year, college students accounted for 10.3% of all film project investors, a sixfold and sevenfold increase over last year and the same period the year before, respectively. What are your thoughts on this?"
Lu Hao: ...
A little confused.
This title is just that long.
It feels like writing a paper.
And... the angle is extremely tricky.
Sure enough, the butt is different, the chair is different, and the perspective is also different.
Some people see the benefits of young fame, while others see the risks involved.
And what I say here may become an important reference in the mind of a young man, and may also affect his life path.
Lu Hao instantly felt the heavy weight of the words "public figure".
Fortunately, we are just chatting now, not even a rehearsal. Although the camera is on, there are no audiences, so the pressure is not too great.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Hao spoke in a deep voice.
"Let me tell you about my experience. Before I started making movies, I started a business, but it failed and I was heavily in debt. In the end, my parents helped me pay off my debts. I started making movies with micro-films, and step by step, I grew bigger and stronger, accumulating small victories into big ones."
"I won't deny every young person's urgent desire to become famous and successful, but I suggest that risk management must be done well."
"Also, you have to figure out one thing: making movies, or more broadly, dreaming about it. Is this something you're willing to pursue as a lifelong career, or... do you just want to make money and become famous?"
Um?
Hearing this, Xin Wen's eyes lit up slightly.
To be fair, from the moment Lu Hao first walked into the studio, he had no intention of looking down on Lu Hao.
However, hearing such an answer still felt far beyond my expectations.
This young man, who is just over 20 years old, is truly amazing in his mature values and meticulous thinking.
"So are you doing this for the money? Or for your career? What's the difference between the two?"
After thinking about it, Xin Wen asked with a smile.
Lu Hao did not answer the first two small questions, but went straight to the most important question.
"Salary is the result of work, not the cause. Fame and fortune, likewise, are the results of a career, not the cause of struggle. Of course, I admit that this can give you great motivation, but it can also make you short-sighted and eager for quick success."
Xin Wen smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but praise: "That's very well said."
This is not a compliment.
It's really praise.
As a man in his forties with some success in his career, he agrees with this idea because he has experienced it personally.
I just didn't expect Lu Hao to express it so succinctly.
——Salary is the result of work, not the cause.
If this episode could be broadcast, this sentence would definitely become one of the golden sentences.
…
Next question.
"From your debut to now, in less than a year, the combined box office revenue of all your films has already exceeded 10 billion. Lu Hao, I want to ask, as a person in his early twenties, how do you plan to spend this much money? And has your life changed in any way?"
Tsk.
This is another extremely sharp issue.
Lu Hao looked at him helplessly.
Xin Wen's face was full of anticipation, and there was a hint of teasing and ridicule in his smile.
To be fair, this issue is indeed very sensitive and acute.
It will definitely need to be edited later. This question may not be broadcast. It depends on Lu Hao's answer and the effect.
“Of course there are changes.”
"The change is that I'm busier than before, but not as happy as before."
"I think my happiest time was when my dad gave me 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses. I made some money from filming, but I still haven't bought a house because I don't have a local hukou. I did buy a car, but it's not a sports car or a luxury car, just a means of transportation."
"I'm not interested in money. Ultimately, money is just a resource that gives me enough confidence to make the movies I want to make."
"I have always felt that being rich is about wealth, but it also means being responsible. The more wealth you have, the more people you have to be responsible for."
Xin Wen: ???
I was laughing at first.
However, as he listened to Lu Hao's words, the smile on his face gradually became stiff and awkward.
this……
This sounds very positive, but why does it feel so awkward?
Lu Hao was secretly laughing in his heart.
In a distant time and space, on the other side of the mountains and the sea, there was a man named Ma and a reporter named Sa.
They also had such conversations.
…
Next, Xin Wen asked a few more questions, about career, youth, love, movies... and so on.
Lu Hao answered one by one.
The answers range from brilliant to dull.
Overall, it can be seen that Xin Wen's posture is becoming more and more relaxed and he smiles more and more.
This interview was quite successful.
"Lu Hao, to be honest, I'm the first person to feel a bit of admiration for a young man in his early twenties. I remember when I was twenty, I thought I was much more mature than my peers. But I didn't expect that you would teach me what it means to be a successor."
Xin Wen couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Hao smiled modestly and said, "Not at all. My generation has simply been exposed to an exponential amount of information since childhood. We are simply standing on the shoulders of giants."
…
Before we knew it, the conversation had lasted for over an hour.
"One last question."
"Your latest film, 'Sun Dasheng,' has been a huge box office success domestically and has also garnered both fame and fortune abroad. Lu Hao, could you please share your thoughts on cultural exports? Or, specifically in the film sector, when will Chinese films be able to go global?"
Lu Hao cheered up.
Here it comes.
The question I was most looking forward to is here.
When he received the interview invitation, Lu Hao basically concluded that it must be because of this.
Official media like First Media will not invite you to their show just because you are popular or make money.
There must be some deeper reason.
That is what we now call cultural export.
And this topic is exactly what Lu Hao wants to talk about most.
