Surrounded by enthusiastic reporters, Ye Zhiqiu had to stop. It seemed that he couldn't get away today without answering a few questions.

"Old rules, three questions."

Many reporters also knew Ye Zhiqiu's habits, and they hurriedly threw out questions without saying much.

"Mr. Ye, I heard that you played a big role in the planning of the program "China in Classics". Then may I ask why you want to do this program?"

Ye Zhiqiu answered casually: "It's mainly for the inheritance and dissemination of our Chinese culture, and to contribute my own meager efforts..."

This question was asked in a conventional way, and Ye Zhiqiu also answered step by step, but the reporters still wrote down all of it seriously.

Then, the second question was much sharper.

"There is a saying on the Internet that the reason why Huang Zhengmin was able to appear in the first episode of "China in Classics" is because you are nepotism. Is this true?"

Ye Zhiqiu has long been accustomed to this kind of unfriendly questions, and nodded and admitted generously: "Yes."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Ye Zhiqiu continued to add: "I am nepotism, but not in this program. The selection of actors for "China in Classics" is the work of the director team, and I did not participate."

Many reporters looked excited and ignored the second half of Ye Zhiqiu's words.

Look at how domineering this answer is. I am like this, what can you do to me?

No wonder entertainment reporters like to interview Ye Zhiqiu so much, and today's manuscript material is here!

The reporters who "won the first battle" looked excited, and someone immediately asked: "Then what do you think of the actress Wei Bing's call from a distance? You have participated in the same program in "National Treasure" before. Will there be similar cooperation this time?"

After the voice fell, the expectant eyes of many reporters gathered on Ye Zhiqiu again.

This question is very well-posed.

Wei Bing is from Universal Media and stands on the opposite side of Ye Zhiqiu. Normal people know that Ye Zhiqiu definitely doesn't want to work with her again.

But the queen of the screen took the initiative to show her goodwill. If Ye Zhiqiu refuses, it would be ungentlemanly.

"No."

Many reporters' eyes lit up, but Ye Zhiqiu was not so easily fooled. He grinned and said, "I also want to work with Miss Wei, but unfortunately, there is no role suitable for her in the later scripts."

What a pity!

A group of reporters rolled their eyes and called him a liar in their hearts.

Everyone knows that Ye Zhiqiu is one of the main screenwriters of "China in Classics". How this story is played is not from your pen.

But if the screenwriter says it is not suitable, then it is not suitable. It seems that the queen of the screen Wei Bing's calculations will be empty this time, everyone thought.

When answering the question just now, Ye Zhiqiu did not stop, and now he has almost walked into the gate of the studio building.

A group of entertainment reporters were in a hurry, and a loud shout came from nowhere.

"You just said that this program is mainly for the spread of Chinese culture, but is it really useful?!"

"Now in the international arena, everyone can see what kind of achievements Chinese music, movies and other works have made. To put it bluntly, Chinese culture is in a weak position internationally, and the spread of it is far less than that of some neighboring countries."

After this sentence was shouted, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Many people present had a strange look on their faces. Although the voice just now was unpleasant, it actually made sense and pointed out an embarrassing situation of Chinese culture in the international arena today.

China, with a brilliant history of 5,000 years, seems to be really not as good as some small countries around it in terms of cultural output.

Even the traditional culture of these countries actually originated from China.

In recent years, music artists and film and television works from Japan and South Korea have frequently won awards internationally, while Chinese works, even though they have achieved good results in China, are still rarely sought after internationally.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the situation that Zhang Yifan's song entered the top 50 of the B list and became a hot search.

Ye Zhiqiu, who was about to enter the set, also stopped and looked at the source of the voice.

It was a very young reporter who seemed to have just entered the industry. When he noticed Ye Zhiqiu's gaze, he immediately said, "Mr. Ye, you said that 'Chinese wave is the best.'"

"But I studied abroad. The fact is that some Korean boy bands and girl bands are much more famous than our domestic artists. Their concerts can be filled with 50,000 people in any country in Europe and the United States, but I have been to several Chinese singers' concerts abroad, and I can only rent venues with less than 10,000 people. There are not many foreign audiences, and there are still a lot of empty tickets that can't be sold."

"This is obviously different from what you said. What do you think?"

After the voice fell, almost everyone looked at Ye Zhiqiu,Waiting for his answer.

Although Ye Zhiqiu has only been in the industry for a short time, he has undoubtedly become one of the leading figures in the Chinese music scene.

His views on this matter represent many things.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Zhiqiu did not answer the other party's question first, but asked back: "Who said that Chinese singers can't hold concerts for 50,000 people abroad?"

Ye Zhiqiu said calmly: "Others can't, but I can."

Everyone present was stunned, their expressions became a little weird, and at the same time, they looked at Ye Zhiqiu with admiration.

This person... is as crazy as ever, but this is confidence!

"And." Ye Zhiqiu continued: "I disagree with what you said just now. First of all, Chinese culture is not weak."

"Or, in your impression, it seems that Chinese culture is relatively weak, while Western culture is relatively strong. But if you have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, especially the various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, you will find that Chinese culture is actually quite strong."

"Since ancient times, we have had the open-mindedness of 'Tao follows nature, tranquility and inaction', the wisdom of 'mutual love and mutual benefit', and the strength of 'no distinction between relatives and strangers, no distinction between noble and humble, and all decisions are made according to the law'."

"I can only say that we are walking on our own cultural path."

As Ye Zhiqiu narrated, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became quiet, and many reporters listened attentively, not forgetting to hold cameras and recorders.

The crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" on the set was also attracted by the movement outside, and many people from the crew ran out and saw this scene.

Ye Zhiqiu continued calmly: "As for why it seems that Chinese culture is not widely spread internationally, I personally think the reason is very simple."

"When a person is very tired and wants to read a book to relax, there are two choices in front of him, light novels and comics and classical Chinese novels. Which one will he choose? This answer is very easy to choose."

"It's not that the latter is not good or lacks connotation, but it shows that happy, interesting and entertaining culture is easier to export."

"This needs to be learned, but at the same time, the spread and export of culture cannot be at the expense of its connotation. Otherwise, it is not reference, but assimilation. This is why we have to do the program "China in Classics."

"Exporting China's traditional culture in a new way is what our generation should do."
