King of Special Effects

Yi Yang successfully entered the list of the most influential new Chinese film directors in the American "Entertainment Weekly". The article also stated that within the next five years at the latest, Yi Yang's films will be active in the international film market.

Domestic "Entertainment Times" also listed Yi Yang as the best director of the year.

Today, Yi Yang was invited by the "Movie Characters" column group of CCTV Movie Channel to go to the capital to participate in an exclusive interview.

From the beginning of his career as a director, Yi Yang flew to the capital whenever he had something to do.

It stands to reason that you have to bring an assistant with you for this kind of work, but Gillian is a young and beautiful girl, Yi Yang really can't take her alone, so he had to pull Ling Lan on the road to the capital again. flight.

Although the program "Movie Characters" only lasts for ten minutes twice a day, its ratings are quite high. Many well-known film directors, actors, producers and screenwriters have appeared on this program.

This is the first time for Yi Yang, but I think he will go there often in the future.

After getting off the plane, the column team had a car to pick him up at the airport, and the production director of 'Movie Character', a middle-aged man wearing glasses, came with the car.

"Hello, Director Yi, I'm Wang Mingqun, welcome!"

Yi Yang shook hands with him: "Director Wang, oh, this is my wife Ling Lan."

"Yes, I know that. There are a lot of news about you on the Internet. I also often go online. Hehe, you two should get in the car first. Let's go to dinner first, and then go to the station to record the show."

"Okay, please trouble Director Wang!"

The food on the plane wasn't tasty, so Yi Yang and Ling Lan didn't eat anything, and they were really hungry now.

Under Wang Mingqun's leadership, the two went to the restaurant for a meal first, but the three of them didn't eat very well, nor did they have much food.

After eating and drinking enough, Yi Yang and Ling Lan followed Wang Mingqun to the TV station.

Everyone's time is limited, so there is no delay. After a brief rest in the lounge of the TV station, the recording of the program will start immediately.

A woman in a red professional dress came in from the lounge, and Yi Yang felt a little familiar.

The woman shook hands with Yi Yang: "Hi, Director Yi, I'm Xia Qun, the host of 'Movie Characters', hello!"

It turned out to be the host, and Yi Yang remembered it when he said that.

But seeing this person on TV and face to face in real life are two different things. If he met on the main road, Xia Qun would not recognize Yi Yang without saying anything.

"Hello, I used to watch your show a lot, but I can't remember it all at once, I'm ashamed!"

Xia Qun smiled slightly, sat on the sofa in front of Yi Yang and raised his legs, then took out a piece of paper from the folder and handed it to Yi Yang.

"Director Yi, here are a few questions I prepared. Our program will focus on these topics later on. You can prepare first."

Yi Yang looked at the problems on the paper, there were not many, there were only five, and they couldn't support the ten-minute program at all, and there might be some other extended problems later.

"Director Yi, the recording will start soon, do you want to touch up your makeup first?" Another program staff came over and asked Yi Yang.

Forehead!

Unless it was necessary for filming, Yi Yang never wore makeup.

"Thank you, I don't need to put on this makeup, just go on TV like this, it's pretty good."

The staff nodded: "Okay!"

This time it was an exclusive interview with Yi Yang, so Ling Lan didn't need to be on camera, and CCTV reporters didn't come to interview her bored, so she just played with her mobile phone in the lounge.

More than half an hour later, the recording of the program started. It was the first time I saw this kind of studio, and I had to face several scenes, and Yi Yang really felt a little nervous.

After a series of opening remarks by the host, Yi Yang is ready to enter the stage.

Although it was only a ten-minute program, there was still an entrance screen.

"The character of the film we are going to talk about today is a director. He is not a professional graduate. After graduating from university, he worked as an advertisement design position in a film and television post-production company. However, due to some reasons, he did this job in less than a year. was forced to resign."

"Unemployed, facing the embarrassment of life, one day, he uploaded a self-portrait landscape video on Zhiyin, which received hundreds of thousands of hits. Since then, he has become interested in shooting such small videos."

"Then a series of wonderful short videos appeared on Zhiyin, which also won the support and recognition of many netizens."

"Until one day, he felt that it was boring to make small troubles every day. Since small videos can be made, why can't he try to make movies?"

"So, he prepared to make a movie and started to study as a director. He and his girlfriend came to Hengdian, a place with a lot of crews, hoping to learn some filming skills."

"Perhaps he was favored by the God of Destiny. He was appreciated by the famous TV drama director Jiang Zhihe, and he intends to accept him as an apprentice, but the condition of apprenticeship is to complete the filming of a micro movie."

"In the end, his introductory micro-movie "Hurry Up" was successfully filmed. Although it was only 20 minutes long, it showed his amazing talent as a director."

"So, with the support of director Jiang Zhihe, he made his first movie "Zi Hei Di". This movie earned the first movie funding."

"Then, classics such as "Titans", "537.9" and "Warrior Trilogy" came out one after another, and the word-of-mouth scores of the six films all maintained an astonishing score of 9.0 or more, and in just a few years, The box office of his movies has reached nearly 30 billion, which once set a record for the highest box office of Chinese-language movies."

"Next, we invite director Yi Yang, the protagonist of this issue of 'Movie Characters'."

Yi Yang came out from behind the scenes, greeted the camera and some audience members, and there was warm applause.

"Hello, host, hello to all the audience friends at the scene and in front of the TV."

After a simple greeting, the interview started, and the host asked Yi Yang the same topics as he had just given.

Yi Yang also answered according to the prepared statements. Of course, this is not an interview method that reads from a script. Yi Yang's expression method can be very casual. In addition to some prepared topics, he can also draw out some other questions. thing.

The host and Yi Yang conducted the interview very smoothly by chatting.

"...Finally, I have another question to ask Director Yi Yang, that is, I heard some reports on the Internet saying that your new movie has finished filming and entered the stage of post-production, so when will this movie be released? What's the plan?"

"This may also be a matter of concern to many fans on the scene and in front of the TV."

Yi Yang smiled: "The release...has not been confirmed yet. After all, the post-production work of the film has not been completed yet, but please rest assured that this "Retrograde" will meet you soon, thank you!"
