Qin Sheng himself was completely unaware of the fact that he was being ignored by the cast.
He just followed the executive director into the interview room. As for the other three directors, he didn't meet them. They were probably taken to the small dark room for questioning.
The interview actually just asks a few questions, such as the current status of the industry, the current changes in the film and television industry, the tolerance of the overall environment and other industry issues.
One of the questions asked by the interviewer was quite interesting. She asked Qin Sheng that older actresses in the industry generally have no roles to play or take. So if he has a movie to shoot in the future, will he choose to work with older actresses?
Qin Sheng laughed at that moment and said without hesitation, "I personally think that if an actress has been filming for many years and the audience still only remembers her youthful beauty, then she is a failure, so it is normal for her to be eliminated by the market."
The executive director was shocked at the time. She knew the responses of the other three directors. The other three directors either encouraged or spoke up for the veteran female actors. Only Qin Sheng said that those actresses who were neglected by the market were failures...
This Director Qin is quite interesting!
Just say what you want to say?
The people who were recording the show at the time actually agreed with Qin Sheng's words, but these words were too straightforward and might cause backlash from many actors. However, from the perspective of the program, they needed different voices, and they also began to secretly look forward to Qin Sheng's performance during the recording of the show.
After finishing the interview, Qin Sheng had a light meal in the lounge. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the lights on the main stage were all on. The other three directors were already sitting leisurely in the mentor seats, chatting about their daily lives in a friendly manner. Chen Kaige and Zhao Wei were sitting in the middle seats, while Guo Xiaoming was smiling and interrupting. When the three saw Qin Sheng coming, although they were not familiar with him, they still greeted him.
"Director Qin, hello."
"Teacher Qin——"
"Hello, hello."
Qin Sheng smiled warmly and shook hands with Chen Kaige and Guo Xiaoming in turn. Zhao Wei continued her quirky personality from her youth and jokingly said,
"Hey, isn't this my idol, Director Qin!"
Qin Sheng was a little surprised by Zhao Wei's enthusiasm, but such a friendly smile can actually close the distance in social situations, so he also smiled friendly.
"No, Director Zhao Wei, please don't say that. I grew up watching your plays."
"Are you saying I'm old?"
Teacher Zhao Wei gave Qin Sheng a very charming look, like an eighteen-year-old girl.
Qin Sheng smiled calmly and shook his head, "No, Director Zhao Wei still looks like an eighteen-year-old girl."
"Director Qin is so sweet."
"Hehehehe."
The other two directors also laughed, and the scene was harmonious...
In fact, they had some thoughts in their hearts. Logically speaking, Qin Sheng could only be considered a newcomer in the film and television industry. To be more specific, he was a newcomer with achievements.
However, his calm and indifferent temperament is somewhat inconsistent with his newcomer status. He is just like a veteran who has been working in the industry for more than ten years. Although he is humble, he is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Teacher Qin's recent films have all been very successful. So, do you have any thoughts on trying to make a movie?"
The speaker was Chen Kaige, who spoke slowly but with convincing intonation.
Qin Sheng nodded and said, "I do have this in mind, so I came here with the intention of learning. I hope the teachers will take care of me."
Good boy, you really know how to talk!
All the directors smiled happily on the surface, but in their hearts they couldn't help but label Qin Sheng as a "newbie".
"In fact, the styles of TV dramas and movies are quite different. You are a graduate of directing, so you should understand the reason."
Director Kaige was very satisfied with Qin Sheng's attitude, so he gave him some pointers.
"First of all, let's look at it from the outside. A TV series needs dozens or even hundreds of shots a day, while a movie may need to be meticulously crafted for a whole day or even several days. So movies are about every detail. A prop, a sentence, or an action can become a prelude to touching the audience's emotions. So, you have to take your time—"
Zhao Wei also felt that Qin Sheng's learning attitude was very strong, so she followed suit, saying, "Actually, it all comes down to style. I think Mr. Qin's style is quite suitable for serious dramas, so don't blindly try comedy just because the market is good, especially black humor or nonsensical comedy."
This is a personal lesson. Zhao Wei did direct a pure comedy before, "The Road of the Yellow Horseman." During script preparation, she saw that the market would particularly respond well to comedies, so she wrote a nonsensical comedy. Turns out, comedy is the most difficult film genre to master. A good one is a comedy, making the audience laugh the whole time and leaving them with endless aftertaste. But a bad one is just an utter embarrassment, with negative reviews...
"The Road of the Yellow Horse Man" is a typical example of the latter. It only managed to get 50 million at the box office when it was released, which was a huge flop. So since then, Zhao Wei lamented on Weibo that she would never touch the comedy market easily in the future, which aroused heated discussion among netizens.
Since both of them had good intentions, Qin Sheng didn't dwell on it too much and nodded in agreement, "That's indeed the case."
Well, this is really a very well-behaved young man who is eager to learn!
The two big-name directors couldn't help but give Qin Sheng a passing score of 60 points.
"Okay, let's stop here. Xiao Qin, take a seat. The show is about to begin."
