After the Lantern Festival, the movies released during the Spring Festival have been shown for fifteen days.

For most movies, the box office received in fifteen days is basically more than 90% of the box office of the entire movie.

The box office of "The Wandering Earth" also exceeded 4 billion on its fifteenth day.

Other movies in the same period were still struggling with a box office of 2 billion.

"The Wandering Earth" undoubtedly won the box office championship during the Spring Festival, even though the Spring Festival is not over yet.

After the Lantern Festival, major companies resume work one after another.

The popularity of "The Wandering Earth" has also become the hottest topic nowadays.

Many viewers lamented that China finally had its own science fiction movie.

A true science fiction movie.

After returning to work, Ark Culture began to arrange promotional activities related to "The Wandering Earth" and finally promoted the box office.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the single-day box office of "The Wandering Earth" was still 110 million, and it has great stamina.

According to this box office trend, it is very hopeful that this year's annual box office champion will be booked during the Spring Festival.

Moreover, in addition to the box office, a movie will also have subsequent online releases and peripheral income.

The more popular a movie is, the higher the peripheral income will be.

In developed countries around the world, sometimes the revenue from movie peripherals is even more than the box office.

Especially for a series of movies, once a good reputation of the series of movies is formed, the movie peripherals will sell out.

Moreover, "The Wandering Earth" is also very suitable for peripheral sales.

Since the movie was released, the planetary engine and small ball models have been selling very well.

In addition, there are also rescue team vehicles and character figurines, which are also very popular.

After the Lantern Festival, a large part of the promotional activities arranged by Ark Culture were to promote movie peripherals.

Let the profit from the movie peripherals of "The Wandering Earth" become a long-term benefit.

"Boss, I just received an interview invitation from "Filmmakers". I think I should participate in the show." As soon as Qiao Yinghong received the interview invitation, she ran to Fang Xing's office to report the matter.

"Filmmaker" is a talk show on CCTV, which can be said to be the most valuable program in the film industry.

In the film industry, those who can record "Filmmaker" are all honored.

Those who can receive interview invitations are either winners of the three major film award ceremonies or senior filmmakers who have been working in the film industry for decades.

If we take stock, all the well-known domestic directors who have won Best Director have participated in interviews with "Filmmakers".

Even a "Filmmaker" interview can become an honor in the film industry.

Receiving an interview invitation from "Filmmaker" means recognition from the film industry and a ticket to the halls of film excellence.

Fang Xing read the invitation email and asked, "Have we communicated? Should I go alone or bring the crew?"

Qiao Yinghong replied: "We have communicated, and no one is allowed over there. Only the boss is invited."

The interview program "Filmmaker" is very formal and will not do any tricks to tie it into the program.

Whoever you invite will be the one who records the show.

Unless two guests are invited to a certain interview, only one person will be recorded.

Qiao Yinghong originally wanted Fang Xing to bring the company's artists to the show. After all, it would be good to show up on "Filmmakers".

However, "Filmmaker" did not accept this arrangement.

Fang Xing has always watched "Filmmakers" and really likes this program.

Because this program is indeed a relatively professional interview program in the film industry. It is never hyped, but its professionalism is recognized by the industry.

"Okay, let's make an appointment to meet with the program team." Fang Xing agreed.

When recording a program, you must first meet with the program team and then discuss the content of the interview.

The more formal the talk show, the more rigorous the process.

Especially some celebrities will have many questions that the host is not allowed to ask.

For example, some celebrities with complicated love histories will specifically request not to mention emotional issues when communicating the content of the interview.

Fang Xing didn't have any worries about this. If the host wanted to talk about relationships, he could do it. Anyway, there was nothing he couldn't talk about.

…

After communicating the content of the interview, we set a time to record the program.

Since it is a more formal talk show, Fang Xing wore a suit on the show that day, and his makeup was also in a mature and steady style.

Recording starts.

Host Xie Lan walked from the stage into the studio, stood in front of the camera, and began to speak the opening words:

"Life is like a play, and play is like life. Welcome everyone to watch this episode of "Filmmaker". I am the host Xie Lan.

"It has been three years since I served as the host of "Filmmaker".

"It's very interesting. In the past six years, more than a hundred filmmakers have been invited to the show, and only two of them are younger than me. I have to call the other guests Big Brother.

"And the guest invited to the program today is the third filmmaker younger than me."

Finish this paragraph.

Xie Lan paused and continued to introduce: "Who is today's interview guest? He should be familiar to audiences across the country.

"Because he can sing, shoot TV series, and make movies.

"Whether you are an audience who likes TV series or a movie, you will have the opportunity to see him on TV.

"So, who is he?

"Welcome today's interview guest, filmmaker Fang Xing."

Fang Xing had been at the backstage entrance. The staff checked the microphone clipped to his collar and then gave a thumbs up to indicate entry.

Fang Xing stepped into the studio and waved to the camera first.

Xie Lan came up and shook hands: "Welcome, please take a seat."

"Filmmaker" interviews are conducted in the form of chats in the living room, so the studio is decorated like a living room, with sofas and coffee tables.

Before recording, it had been rehearsed, and where to walk and where to sit were all arranged.

"The host will also sit down." Fang Xingqian conceded, then sat down on the guest's sofa.

After the two sat down, Xie Lan started the first topic of the interview: "At the time of recording the show, "The Wandering Earth" was still in theaters, and the box office had reached 4 billion, which is a very good result.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "However, I have a question to ask, what is the identity of Fang Fang when he woke up to "Filmmaker" today? Actor or director?"

Fang Xing smiled and shivered: "Don't the name of the talk show already say it all?"

Xie Lan answered with a sudden realization: "That's true, no matter whether you are an actor or a director, you are all filmmakers.

"Among the two identities, which one do you prefer? Do you like acting? Or do you prefer to tell stories with a guide tube?"

Fang Xing thought about it before replying: "Actually, both are true. Actors have a desire to perform. They want to tell the audience their inner understanding of the character through performance. This character is like this, he is alive.

.

"The director is more about telling stories, connecting the performances of many actors to form a complete story, and shaping the world view and values ​​of the story."

Xie Lan: "You are both an actor and a director, and both are successful. So how do you view the relationship between movies and real life?"

"The relationship between movies and real life..."

Fang Xing thought while answering: "I think movies are very closely related to real life. As an art form, movies reflect real life through images and stories, revealing social phenomena and human nature issues.

"Film creators should use movies to present their observations and thinking about the real world, so that audiences can better understand life."

Xie Lan: "Director Fang's answer is more metaphysical. Can you give an example so that the audience can understand it easily?"

Fang Xing thought about it and replied: "Take "The Wandering Earth" as an example. I played the role of 'Liu Peiqiang' in the movie.

"If it was four years ago, I wouldn't have played this role. I might have played 'Liu Qi' instead of 'Liu Peiqiang'.

"Because four years ago, I was a son, and I know what kind of mentality a son should have and what perspective he should use to view the world.

"The 'Liu Peiqiang' in the movie is a father. In order to allow his son to live in the underground city, he had no choice but to choose to become an astronaut and go to the space station to perform missions, so he was separated from his son for eighteen years.

"As a son, I know very well how attached to my parents I was when I was young.

"However, four years ago, I couldn't understand what it was like for a father to leave his son and board the space station for eighteen years.

"Because I have never been a father, I am not sure whether I should feel sad, reluctant, or guilty when my father leaves.

"This feeling is very complicated and difficult to describe in words.

"I didn't understand it four years ago, but now I understand, so I dare to play a father in the movie."

There was a pause.
