Chapter 152 His movies may not be good, but they are definitely the most romantic

While everyone was talking, the busy man Shen Lang's cell phone rang again.

When I took it out and looked at it, it turned out to be Xu Ke calling.

"Director Xu, haven't we already celebrated the New Year? Haha, are you calling me because of something?" Shen Lang joked.

Xu Ke pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone and said seriously: "Teacher Shen, thank you!"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "You are here because of Lu Yun, right?"

"No, I want to thank you for understanding me!"

Damn, there’s no need for two grown men to be so mushy!

"Teacher Shen, when I was adapting the script, many people questioned me. I even thought about giving up..."

"Even after presenting this script, I have received recognition from many people, such as Director Li Huimin, Liang Jiahui, and Zhang Manman!"

"But there has never been a person who can express my thoughts so clearly like you, not even myself!"

"Thank you, Teacher Shen!"

At this time, Shen Nan asked curiously: "Who is it?"

Shen Lang covered the microphone and said, "Xu Ke!"

Hearing this name, Shen Hao's eyes lit up: "Quickly ask Director Xu where he is now?"

"???"

"Hurry up!" Shen Hao said anxiously.

Shen Lang glanced at his uncle and asked on the phone, "Director Xu, where are you now?"

Xu Ke was stunned: "I'm in Hong Kong Island, I must be at home during the New Year!"

"He's in Hong Kong Island!" Shen Lang whispered to his uncle.

Shen Hao took his phone and said, "Director Xu, hello, I'm Shen Lang's uncle and also your fan. I want to ask, do you have time to go with me to CCTV's online channel to participate in an interview program tomorrow night?"

Xu Ke was stunned on the other end of the phone. Shen Lang? Uncle? CCTV?
Fortunately, Shen Lang took the phone and explained what happened. Only then did Xu Ke realize that the person who called him was actually the director of "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang".

The movie "Blood Battle" can be said to be an important milestone in war films. When Xu Ke was young, this movie had a great influence on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

"That's great. It's my honor to be on the show with Director Shen. I'll book a ticket tomorrow, no, I'll take the fastest flight to come here."

Are you kidding? Not only Shen Hao's fame is involved here, the key is that he was able to find a media outlet to promote the movie during the broadcast period, and it's a media outlet of the size of CCTV. Even if Xu Ke had to drive himself, he would have rushed over!

……

the next day!
In the past two days, "New Dragon Inn" has become extremely popular.

The number of moviegoers increases exponentially every day.

In just two days, the movie earned 1.2 billion at the box office.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, this already shows the success of the movie.

But Shen Hao, who was sitting in the studio chatting before the show started, said to Xu Ke: "The reason I wrote this article is not to grab some popularity, but because I think that since Mr. Lu mentioned the direction of martial arts, I want to use my own point of view to talk about the survival and development of martial arts movies!"

Xu Ke held Shen Hao's hand and said with emotion: "Senior Shen, it is with the support and encouragement of seniors like you that our Chinese films can go higher and further!"

After saying that, he turned to Shen Lang and nodded, "Brother, everything is self-explanatory! Beat your chest, remember this!"
At this time, the host came up from the stage.

"Director Shen, I haven't seen you on our show for a long time. You are a rare guest now!"

Shen Hao smiled and said, "I'm getting old. When people get older, they don't want to move anymore. Happy New Year, Xiao Wu!"

After the host surnamed Wu exchanged greetings with Shen Hao, he said to Xu Ke and Shen Lang, "It's a pleasant surprise to have you two on our show!"

Shen Lang knew this host, who was quite famous on the Internet. She was a well-known beautiful host of CCTV. Her interview topics were profound and sharp, but as a host, she could also lead the topic well. She was also one of the many celebrities of CCTV on the Internet.

The show begins.

The host asked an intriguing question as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Director Xu, what do you think the new-style martial arts is in your definition?"

"If martial arts films are a kind of container, then I want to put China's traditional culture and the Chinese people's patriotism in this bottle!"

A perfect answer.

The host nodded and asked Shen Hao, "Director Shen, as a famous director of the older generation in China, what do you think of the new martial arts?"

Shen Hao was fully prepared!
"The definition of new changes with the passage of time. What is new today may not be new in the future. I don't comment on newness or oldness. I just say what I think is the difference between this movie and previous martial arts movies." "Compared to the solemn style of traditional martial arts movies, New Dragon Inn is more romantic and unrestrained, the action design is imaginative, the picture editing is fast and powerful, and the plot is more concentrated and compact than previous movies!"

"In that fierce and solemn atmosphere, the laughter, anger, and flirting of Jin Xiangyu create an ambiguous meaning rarely seen in previous martial arts films. The fighting scenes are exciting, compact and chic!"

The host asked, "If you were asked to choose, would you prefer "New Dragon Inn" or traditional martial arts films?"

“I like good movies!”

"Director Shen, your position is not clear at all!"

"No, I always stand on the side of the audience! As long as the audience likes it, it is a successful movie!"

"However, I can make a bold guess! Compared to traditional martial arts, Director Xu's martial arts may really lead a trend! And push martial arts films to a new height!"

……

As more and more people tune in to watch the live broadcast, the number of comments is gradually increasing!

"Who is this Director Shen? What he said is impartial and makes sense!"

"Shen Hao, you may not know his name, but if you talk about the movie he made, you must have seen it, "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang"!"

"Ah...it's him? Then he must be the leading figure of our Chinese cinema!"

“It’s a bit exaggerated to call him Taishan Beidou, but his influence in the film industry is absolutely first-class!”

"I think what Director Shen said makes sense! That Lu Yun is just jealous. Xu Ke's new-style martial arts is successful, so naturally he wants to squeeze out their box office and market. He is just in a hurry!"

……

The interview continued: "Director Shen, do you think this "New Dragon Inn" will become a martial arts classic?"

At this time, Shen Hao turned to Xu Ke and said with a smile: "Director Xu is not shooting martial arts movies..."

Xu Ke smiled and clasped his hands in thanks.

"His martial arts incorporates cult elements, such as human meat buns, the dissection of corpses in the basement, and the fact that Cao Shaoqin, played by Shen Lang, has his hands and feet cut to the bone at the end. These are all elements of cult movies."

"So some people say that Director Xu's martial arts films have gone astray..."

"I think Director Xu never thought of going the martial arts route. In his movies, martial arts is just the cover. What's inside is actually a fairy tale for adults!"

……

"This old gentleman said it very well!"

“This is what an expert does!”

"The older generation of filmmakers have a very solid theoretical foundation, much better than that little director!"

"Is that a director? Please stop insulting the word director!"

……

Twenty minutes later, the host smiled and said to Shen Lang: "Teacher Shen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Shen Lang put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "It doesn't matter. I can learn a lot from listening to the two directors' speeches!"

The host smiled and said, "How about we play a quick question and answer game?"

All four people at the scene laughed.

Shen Lang made a gesture of invitation.

"How would you rate Director Xu Ke?"

“The movies he made may not be the best, but they are definitely the most romantic!”

"What do you think of "New Dragon Inn"?!"

"This movie is a new definition, and it may also be the standard for future martial arts movies. Starting with New Dragon Inn, the descriptions in words have become real and visible. It is a reality of flying into the sky and hiding in the ground, a reality of sword energy in the mortal world, a reality of a sword flashing through the nineteen continents, and a sword energy spanning thirty thousand miles!"

……

"Fuck, what's the relationship between Shen Lang and Director Shen? Can anyone tell me? They must be a family, right? They both speak so well!"

"I found myself becoming a fan of him!"

"Me too! My emotional quotient and IQ are both online!"

……

Shen Lang who was being interviewed didn't know that the counter in his Pandora's fan box that calculated the fan value was jumping rapidly at this moment!
