116 Interviews

The shooting of Pishan Island was incredibly smooth.

Except for three, the others were just passed, and all exceeded Giako's minimum requirements, so the whole group was very excited.

That night, when he came back from Pishan Island, Giaco was very happy and took everyone to the restaurant, and he paid for it out of his own pocket.

After eating and drinking, Jia Ke, his wife, Chen Fei, and Wang Tong walked back to the hotel slowly.

On the way, Jia Ke said to Chen Fei: "There will be an interview later, and you can handle it with me."

“Interview?”

"Well, I'm a reporter from the art film. I made an appointment before."

"Okay." Chen Fei nodded.

As the starring actor, he naturally has the obligation to cooperate with the crew and contribute his strength to the promotion of his works.

"Isolated Island" is an art film with a relatively niche market, so it attaches more importance to publicity.

"Literary Film" is a top-ranked magazine in China, specializing in promoting and reporting art films, and has a very high status in the circle of art films.

After a while when I returned to the hotel, the reporters of the art film came over. They drove here and did not live in this hotel. They lived in a star-rated hotel in the city. The hotel where Chen Fei and the others lived was very simple and could not be ranked at all. In fact, it was a bit polite to call a hotel. It was almost the same as calling a guesthouse, but it was closest to Pishan Island and the price was relatively cheap, so everyone lived here.

There were three people in the art film, one person was responsible for shooting, one person was responsible for interviews, and the other was responsible for taking pictures.

The interview was arranged in a basketball court near the hotel, which was quieter and had plenty of light, making it suitable for photography.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that the hotel is too simple and there is not even a conference room.

Jia Ke, Chen Fei, Wang Tong, and three people sat side by side on the chair for an interview.

The reporter sat across from them.

The reporter sent to the art film was a man about 35 years old, with a big beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked very distinctive.

His voice is also very distinctive, with a muffled voice.

However, this guy is still very famous in the circle, with sharp questions and unique vision, and is very appealing among the audience of art films. Films that can win him praise can generally be sold well.

"Director Jia, Brother Fei, Wang Tong, then we'll start." The reporter asked.

"Okay." The three of them nodded together.

The reporter glanced at his two companions, then began to look at Jia Ke: "Director Jia, what is your name, what type of movie is, and what is it mainly about, can you introduce it?"

"My movie, called "Island", should be classified as a military movie. Of course, it is an art film in a military movie and a niche among a niche, but I think everyone should like this movie because it is very special."

"Director Jia, but the films you used to shoot usually explore the struggles and darkness of human beings. So, is it appropriate for you to use this idea to make a military film? Is it allowed by the relevant departments?"

"Our video has obtained permission. In other words, this is of course allowed. Soldiers are also humans. Since they are humans, they must have everything about humans, and they will be helpless and desperate.

Of course, soldiers are a special group, and their thoughts are definitely different from those of the ordinary people.

What I explore in this movie is the heart of this special group.

Aren’t you curious about the psychology of soldiers? What will they think? What will they do if they encounter difficulties? How did they survive the lows of their lives? Are you not curious? Anyway, I’m very curious!"

"Director Jia, is your movie still in a dark style as always?"

"I have to buy it here for a while, keep it confidential for the time being." Jia Ke said with a mysterious smile.

The reporter obviously is quite familiar with Jia Ke and already knows the nature of this guy's urine, so when he sees him answering this way, he no longer asks in vain. Instead, he looks at Chen Fei and asks: "Brother Fei, this movie "Island" should be the first time you have touched me?"

"Yes." Chen Fei replied.

"So why did Brother Fei dedicate his first time to "Isolated Island"? As far as I know, Brother Fei's requirements have always been relatively high."

"Actually, it's nothing. I read the script of "Island" and found it very interesting. It's also a military-themed movie, so I took it."

"So what does Fei Ge think the most attractive thing about this movie?"

"story."

"Story? Can Brother Fei introduce in detail what story this movie tells?"

Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Jia Ke, and smiled: "Keep it confidential for the time being."

The reporter was a little disappointed, but at this moment, Jia Ke broke the news: "But I can tell you some small stories. The script of the movie "Isolated Island" has been changed three times. Every time Chen Fei changed it, it helped me a lot. It can even be said that Chen Fei made great contributions to the script of this drama, so when the movie is released, you will find that there are two screenwriters of this drama, one is me and the other is Chen Fei."

Well?

Chen Fei was stunned.

Giaco hadn't told him these things before.

When Giaco saw him looking at him, he smiled and did not explain.

After hearing what Jia Ke said, the reporter was really interested and quickly asked about the details.

Giaco replied: "I have changed the draft of this drama three times, and each time it is completely subverted. So although the core of the story has not changed, the theme and color of the story have undergone a 180-degree change."

He started talking, spitting everywhere, but the guy said those things, half true and half false. He could only hear Chen Fei and Wang Tong sitting beside him want to laugh but dare not laugh. The two raised their heads and looked at each other quietly, unable to help laughing, and then quickly lowered their heads, for fear that they would laugh.

The reporter talked with Jia Ke for a while, then pointed his finger at Chen Fei and asked: "Brother Fei, the TV series "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" has achieved unprecedented success. According to general habits, you must continue to work hard and continue to work hard in the TV drama industry, but you are suddenly changing to the movies now. So can you say that you will focus on movies in the future? The drama "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" is your masterpiece in the TV drama industry."

"That's not. I plan to walk on both legs, and TV and movies will be involved."

"So are you interested in your next TV series?"

"Not yet. My main task now is to concentrate on filming "Island"."

"As far as I know, Fei Ge's judgment on the market prospects of film and television is very accurate. So according to Fei Ge's judgment, what will the market prospects of the movie "Isolated Island"?"

"very good!"

"Very good? Can Brother Fei be more specific, such as how much box office can it reach?"

"Break billion?"

"Break over 100 million!" The reporter was surprised and lost his voice when he heard this.

The market for art films is relatively stable and will not rise or fall like commercial films, but the actual capacity of art films is not large. For ordinary art films, investments are below 5 million, so better art films can have a box office of about 50 million, and ordinary ones, 20 to 30 million. But now Chen Fei says that the box office of the movie "Island" can reach 100 million. Is this a height that some commercial films may not necessarily reach!

The reporter was completely excited and quickly pointed the microphone at Chen Fei: "Is Brother Fei joking or serious?"

"I have never joked about the box office." Chen Fei said seriously.

He is very sure.

Because he has a sense that this movie will usher in a new era of art films.

His intuition was always very accurate and he never missed it.

Of course, the reason why I say this is also suspected of creating a topic.

After all, he invested in this movie. It is naturally the best thing to be able to hype him up.

Jia Ke was also shocked by Chen Fei's words. He blinked his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Of course, he hoped that the box office of this movie would be very popular, but... 100 million... can it really be achieved?

You know, his previous movie box office was only 48 million at its best.

"Why did Brother Fei think that the box office of "Island" can reach 100 million?"

"It's very simple, because it looks good."

"Good looking?" the reporter frowned.

What they made was an art film. Can art films be described as good-looking?

Jia Ke quickly explained: "We have discussed some of the concepts of art films seriously before. In the end, we all agreed that a good art film should not be a preacher film, it should be a feature film first. In other words, he must first have a good story, and a good story must be good, so what Chen Fei said is nothing wrong!"

The reporter immediately grabbed Jia Ke and asked: "Director Jia, but as far as I know, your previous movie philosophy was not like this."

"Yes, I used to think that the core of art films is to reveal human nature and reality, but after working with Chen Fei, I changed my mind. I agreed with Chen Fei's philosophy. People will change, right? The only thing that remains unchanged in this world is change. I think what Chen Fei said makes sense, so I will naturally change!"

"So, you learned a lot from Chen Fei during this cooperation?" The reporter's question became sharp.

"Yes, that's right, I learned a lot from Chen Fei. Chen Fei is an amazing person. He is not only an excellent actor, but also an amazing screenwriter. In addition, he is also a good director. The cooperation between us has changed a lot from me. I learned a lot from him. I even think that he has given me a complete change."

Giako praised Chen Fei for his words of praise.

So, within a few days, a report about "Isolated Island" was published in the art film magazine. The title of the article was "The Art Films with a Box Office of Over 100 million - Isolated Island"

As soon as this article was published, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the circle.

"What? The box office of the island can exceed 100 million? How is this possible?"

"Everything films can be sold for 100 million yuan? Commercial films may not be able to reach them, right? This guy is too bold to say it, but he can understand it. After all, he was a TV series."

"Movies and TV series are very different. Art films are even more alien in movies and cannot be judged by the thinking of TV series."

This incident soon spread from the circle of art films to other places. Chen Fei's fans were shocked when they saw it.

"Fuck! Brother Fei actually went to make an art film?"

"What does Fei Ge mean? I won't shoot TV series anymore? His TV series is so good, why not? I still want to see that I am a special forces soldier season 2?"

"Art film? I don't like to watch art films. What should I do? It's hard to support Fei Ge!"

Netizens were talking about it.
