The positions on the stage are interesting.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but there were two beautiful women standing on Tang Xiaobao’s left and right sides respectively.
You guessed it right, it was Zhong Xue and Xiao Yanzi.
Behind the three people, they were right in the center of the big screen.
They complement each other!
Each person was given a microphone.
The host smiled and said, "Just now, on the official Weibo of Longhai Film and Television, many fans left messages asking me to ask you a few questions. Director Zhao, is there any problem?"
This was Zhao Haiyang's first time directing. He usually wasn't fond of being called "Young Master Zhao," but being called "Director Zhao" made him feel happy. So, he said generously, "Ask anything. It's definitely no problem. The audience and fans are everything."
Everyone laughed together.
The lady asked.
"The first question is from a netizen to Director Zhao. Director Zhao, why did you suddenly want to become a director, and why did you have to make a martial arts film, which is no longer popular these days?"
Zhao Haiyang had already prepared the answer to this question.
It’s a routine, you know!
Zhao Haiyang answered without hesitation: "Being a director is actually my dream. I made a lot of online short films a long time ago. Later, I went to Huaxi Opera to audition for a long time. I also went to the set with my mentor, Director Zheng Ping, to learn on the spot. So, this is my dream. Now that I have the conditions, I will definitely fulfill my dream. As for why I want to make martial arts films, it is because I myself have a martial arts dream. I believe that everyone has a martial arts dream in their hearts. This is determined by the traditional culture of China. It is unique in the world. In the past, martial arts films bore the backbone of Chinese films. I don’t want everyone to forget this genre, so I made a martial arts film for everyone to watch. Of course, this is a different martial arts film. I believe it will definitely give the audience a different feeling."
"OK, thanks."
The female host smiled and said, "My second question is for Director Zhao. Some netizens said that you wrote the script for this movie, is that right? Can you also write a screenplay?"
Zhao Haiyang still did not hesitate and answered: "Actually, it is true that I was the main creator of this script, but Director Zheng also contributed to it. He also participated in the creation, and when the script was finally finalized, Tang Xiaobao also gave me some suggestions, so if you have any doubts about the plot in the future, just scold them both, haha." He made a joke.
Zheng Ping smiled bitterly.
Tang Xiaobao had a black line on his forehead.
If there weren't so many media present, he would have been unable to resist kicking him a few times.
Why did you come up with such a ridiculous plot? Why did you drag me along? You are committing suicide by being tied up!
Everyone laughed again.
This time it was the male host's turn to ask.
"Director Zheng, you're a leading figure in the domestic film industry. You've directed many excellent films and won numerous awards. You're also the first Chinese director to win an Oscar. May I ask why you're willing to serve as Director Zhao's assistant? Also, what are your thoughts on this film? For example, are you worried about its box office performance?"
This question is a bit sharp.
But this is also what many netizens want to ask.
Yes, when has Zheng Ping ever been anyone's assistant? He is a top director, and there are few directors in China who can compare with him. People in the circle naturally know the reason, but the audience doesn't know.
So this issue cannot be avoided.
Zheng Ping seemed to have known this question would come up. He smiled and said, "You're too kind, host. There are many excellent directors in China. You're praising me to the skies, but you're actually bringing me hatred and negative attention."
The host laughed and said, "Director Zheng is wronged."
There was laughter from the audience and some people applauded.
Zheng Ping continued, "I guess many viewers would like to ask this question. Okay, then I'll be honest. There are two reasons why I'm willing to be Director Zhao's assistant. First, although Director Zhao is young and this is his first time directing, he's very talented and has many wild ideas. He's actually made many suggestions and contributions to many of the works I've shot in the past. I admire him, so naturally I'm willing to help him and help him check things out. The second reason, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, is that I was forced to do this. Director Zhao and I have been friends for many years, and you know how close we are. Sometimes he asks me for help, and I can't refuse him. Besides, this guy is a sticky piece of candy. If I don't agree, he'll stick to me every day. There's nothing I can do. I'm being forced into this."
Ha ha ha ha.
Everyone at the scene was infected by his humor and started laughing, including the reporters below.
The host then asked, "But Director Zheng, you haven't said whether you're optimistic about this film." Zheng Ping smiled and said, "Well, I can say responsibly that this is a very good film, and I'm confident about its box office success. We've invited many veteran actors and outstanding actors from China this time. If you don't have confidence in me, do you have confidence in them too?"
The atmosphere at the press conference was very warm.
Next, the host asked Yan Zi, Zhong Xue, Hu Fei, Qi Xiaoyu, Liu Haiping, Chen Qing and others, but did not ask Tang Xiaobao.
Tang Xiaobao was relieved, but also felt a little awkward.
I've asked everyone, but I didn't ask him. This made him feel bad.
I'm the leading actor, and I made such a big noise outside just now. Is there no one paying attention to newcomers like us?
But that’s not right. Someone asked Zhong Xue, so why didn’t anyone ask me?
He looked very awkward standing in the crowd.
But at this moment, the host finally started communicating with him.
The female host stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Tang. First of all, I want to say that I am your die-hard fan."
puff!
Tang Xiaobao almost fell down.
Why is there another die-hard fan?
Zhong Xue is the captain of the anti-traitor team, Qi Xiaoyu is a member of the team, and this female host in front of us could be one of them too, right?
Am I really that popular?
Tang Xiaobao smiled politely and said, "Thank you, but I feel guilty."
"Why?" The female host blinked. "As a fan, I like you very much and admire you. How can this make you feel guilty?"
"Because as soon as you appeared on the stage just now, I decided to be your fan. Do you think I feel guilty?" Tang Xiaobao said with a smile.
Well, that's quite humorous.
The female host was also stunned, but she quickly reacted.
This is just a joke.
"Haha, I'm so honored. Okay, you win, Mr. Tang. We asked so many questions on behalf of netizens just now, but we haven't asked you before. I wonder if you feel a little uncomfortable?" The female host really dared to ask.
The scene was a bit awkward.
Tang Xiaobao, however, was shameless. Noticing the tense atmosphere, he immediately burst into laughter, "Yeah, these audiences are so disappointing! Even though I'm a newcomer, I'm still the male lead. Why are they so pessimistic about me?"
