"Director Li, there are two reporters outside, one from Penguin Entertainment and one from Film Weekly magazine. Do you want to let them in?" Zhuo Yixiong suddenly walked up to Li Yi and asked.
"Are the media visiting the class? They are really powerful. They actually knew that we were filming here and came over. Forget it, let them come in. It's hard to travel all the way." Li Yi A little surprised, but not surprised.
Although there was no prior contact, the media visit already showed that Li Yi is different from what he used to be. What's more, this is Nanxi Village far away from the city. It is not easy to find the other party. Naturally, Li Yi does not want to offend the uncrowned king.
Moreover, the crew does not have any hidden secrets, so it is considered as a pre-promotional warm-up.
Outside the crew, Li Wen and Zhou Qingquan looked at each other. Although they knew each other, they were each their own masters, and they really didn't make an appointment. It can only be said that some things happened, and it was such a coincidence that they met together.
"Old Li, you've worked hard enough. You've traveled thousands of miles to get here." Zhou Qingquan couldn't help but said in surprise.
"Aren't you the same? The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother." Li Wen rolled his eyes.
"We just didn't notify them in advance. I don't know what Director Li's temper is like and whether he will let us get what we want." Zhou Qingquan couldn't help but frowned.
In fact, not every director is willing to let the media come to visit the studio.
Especially those who come uninvited like them.
Both of them are experienced entertainment reporters, so they really encounter this kind of thing quite often.
Soon, Zhuo Yixiong walked out of the set.
"You two have come a long way. Thank you for your hard work. Come in with me. However, when Director Li is filming, you'd better keep quiet and don't take pictures." Zhuo Yixiong said with a smile.
Li Wen and Zhou Qingquan were also happy when they heard this, and nodded quickly: "We understand the rules."
"That's good, you two come with me!" Zhuo Yixiong nodded and led the way.
Soon, Li Wen and Zhou Qingquan followed Zhuo Yixiong to the shooting scene.
"Hey, Director Zhuo, who is that little girl who is following Director Li?" The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Li Wen couldn't help but asked in a low voice out of curiosity.
Because it was some distance away from the shooting scene, and Li Wen's voice was played at a low level, it would not affect the filming of the movie.
Hearing this, Zhuo Yixiong couldn't help but smile and said, "That little girl is from this village."
"Villagers?" Li Wen and Zhou Qingquan were both a little stunned.
"Do you think it's weird? Actually, speaking of it, there is a story in it..." Zhuo Yixiong couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the little girl.
"Stories? We like to hear stories the most. Wouldn't it be convenient for Director Zhuo to tell them to us?" Li Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The media visited the crew. What news do they need?
For a production like Li Yi's "Mom Love Me Again", it can be said that there are very few stars, and Wen Qing is one of them. But to be honest, Wen Qing is really not inferior to the stars in the mainstream entertainment industry.
The queen of bitter drama is also from the circle of bitter drama.
Therefore, the biggest star of this kind of crew is Li Yi, and Li Yi is also the director, so there is really not much they can report or write about.
Now, if there is a story, that is naturally the best.
If the story is interesting enough, Li Wen can produce several manuscripts every minute.
Zhuo Yixiong also wanted to take this opportunity to promote the movie, so he immediately talked about the little girl.
The more Li Wen and Zhou Qingquan listened, the happier they became at first, because this story is worth reading.
But when they heard what happened later, both of them couldn't help but become a little silent.
"But why is she following Director Li again? Does Director Li want to admit their marriage?" Li Wen asked again with some suspicion.
"That's not true. It was mainly this little girl's story that inspired Director Li. He wanted to adapt it and make a short film based on this little girl's story. The protagonist is this little girl, but the child has never acted. , so Director Li is teaching me step by step." Zhuo Yixiong explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Qingquan was fine, but Li Wen asked suddenly and excitedly: "Short film? Is it a micro movie?"
Zhuo Yixiong didn't understand why Li Wen suddenly took a shot of chicken blood, but he still nodded and said: "It should be considered right? I have to ask Director Li about this, I don't know very well."
"Reporter Li, this is..." Zhuo Yixiong looked at Li Wen with some confusion.
This reporter's reaction is so weird. It's just a short film. What's so strange about it?
Is it worth making such a fuss?
"It's like this. If it's a micro-movie, I have a heartfelt request. Of course, it's mainly a coincidence. We at Penguin Video happen to be holding the Penguin Cup Micro-movie Competition..." Li Wen As he spoke, he was interrupted by Zhuo Yixiong before he could finish speaking.
"Reporter Li, do you think it is necessary for us, Director Li, to participate in a competition like the micro-film competition?" Zhuo Yixiong asked rhetorically.
It’s not surprising that Zhuo Yixiong directly interrupted Li Wen’s words, but because Li Yi is also a well-known young director now. He is the director of a movie with a box office of 300 million. Wouldn’t it be wrong for him to participate in some micro-film competition as his identity? joke?
"Ahem, Director Zhuo, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to ask Director Li to participate in the micro-film competition. He is already qualified to be a judge. What I meant was that we at Penguin Video are holding the Penguin Cup micro-film competition. We also invited some well-known directors to film the screening works, which is equivalent to giving demonstrations to the contestants. Penguin Video will provide a lot of promotion resources, so I think Director Li's short film may also be used as a demonstration work... ..." Li Wen quickly explained.
Zhuo Yixiong nodded in relief, but then he looked at Li Wen with some doubts and said: "Reporter Li, you seem to be from Penguin Entertainment. Why are you so concerned about Penguin Video's business?"
Although the recording belongs to the same company, in fact, Li Wen, an entertainment reporter under Penguin Entertainment, really has no direct affiliation with Penguin Video.
Moreover, the micro-film competition was out of reach for him, so Zhuo Yixiong asked this question.
"Ahem, it's like this. As entertainment reporters, we often come into contact with famous directors like Director Li, so the company also sent out tasks to find suitable directors and suitable works..." Li Wen coughed twice to hide his guilt and said.
What he said was true.
But what he didn't say was that micro-movies are nothing new.
Penguin Video has indeed invested a lot of financial resources in the Penguin Cup Micro Film Competition this time.
There is definitely no shortage of contestants. After all, the platform Penguin Video can still provide high exposure and resources to those micro-film directors.
But the problem is that Penguin Video hopes to invite some famous directors to add some influence to this competition. However, it cannot be said that no one is interested, but there are indeed very few.
