Superstar Couple

Chapter 66: Met the Parents (Part 2)

After sitting down, Zhang Le felt uneasy about being interrogated in three courts, but his strong psychological quality did not make him feel restless.

A normal heart, this is what Zhang Le has always warned himself. But it was the first time I met my girlfriend's parents in the past and this life, so it was so easy to maintain a normal heart.

Yang Xiner acted cute and cute to Mr. Yang to please him, but she still didn't divert his parents' attention.

Both Yang Guomin and Li Fang locked their eyes on Zhang Le. Seeing this, Yang Mingwei smiled as if gloating.

I heard that you were the No. 1 student in the college entrance examination in Bashu Province. Why didn't you go to Yanda Qinghua, but chose the Film Academy? Yang Guomin said first.

The main interest! When I was in high school, I developed a strong interest in movies. In addition, I may be a bit angry, and I took a deep breath when I saw that Hollywood movies beat Chinese movies and dominated the domestic box office. So At that time, I applied to the Film Academy stubbornly. Zhang Le said with a smile.

Do you want to go your own way? Did your family disagree when you applied for the Film Academy? Li Fang frowned and asked.

My family respects my wishes. Those who object are mainly teachers, classmates and friends. Zhang Le still said with a smile.

My family respects my wishes, hehe, you should also respect Yang Xiner's wishes regarding me and Yang Xiner!

Are the movies in our country bad? Mr. Yang suddenly asked.

On the top five box office charts, only one is a Chinese-language film, and it ranks last. It is the Waiting to Return that was released last year and I starred in it. The theme song was written and composed by Zhang Le. The first four films are all Hollywood films. Movies, that is, American movies. Yang Xiner said.

The reason why Zhang Le chose film school instead of Yanda Qinghua was because he was very interested in film. As for why he held his breath when he saw Chinese-language movies being beaten down by Hollywood movies, it was probably for the old man to hear.

I see that national films are not good, so I have to contribute to Chinese films. This is to take national honor as an ideal, how lofty. If you want me to change my career, you must be cautious in front of the old man.

People of Mr. Yang’s generation have fought for this country and nation all their lives, ignoring everything else, and have followed suit, sacrificing their lives, in order to catch up with other countries. Now the military has risen, the economy has risen, technology has risen, and international status has also risen.

It is unacceptable for people of their generation who have been fighting with foreigners all their lives to suddenly hear that their own country's movies have been beaten to the ground.

Those who have abandoned their helmets and armor and have been in the army all their lives, these four words are very sensitive.

Yang Xiner wanted to laugh in her heart, Zhang Le is too bad, this is taking advantage of her grandfather's power to block her mother's mouth!

Thinking of this, Yang Xiner looked at her brother Yang Mingwei gratefully. Undoubtedly, if it wasn't for his reminder before, Zhang Le's answer might have the same meaning, but the content of the answer is definitely not the same.

The same meaning, but different words, naturally give people different feelings.

Okay, good cynical youth! Young people should reprimand Fang Qiu for competing with foreigners. After listening to Yang Xiner's words, Mr. Yang looked at Zhang Le and said.

He will definitely be able to do it, I believe. Yang Xiner glanced at Zhang Le and said immediately, Grandpa must not know that the investment in his first film was only a few million. It has already won hundreds of millions of box office, and the word-of-mouth at the box office has caused a great sensation.

Oh? Can a movie hit so much box office now? Mr. Yang asked curiously.

The box office of the top five is more than 500 million, and the highest box office is nearly one billion. And the top five box office, Hollywood movies account for four, how much is that? Yang Xiner said, And Chinese movies are in North America and other countries Land, the box office can be described as terrible. In the past, the British made money in our country with **, and now the Americans use their movies to make money in our country. A few movies, billions! Money is second, the most important thing is that they use movies Come to spread their values ​​and impact our Chinese culture.

Xin'er, what you said is a bit alarmist. Li Fang frowned and said immediately.

If she didn't react at this time, it would be too stupid. Judging by the old man's appearance, it seems impossible to use Zhang Le's career as an excuse.

After Li Fang finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Yang Mingwei, that look was self-evident. Obviously, she guessed what her son said on the way to pick them up.

It may not be appropriate to use the ** as an analogy. But the United States spreads their values ​​through their films. This is an indisputable fact. If Chinese films cannot catch up, sooner or later the domestic market will become Hollywood's backyard like North America. .”

Although I don't know much about movies, I also know that movies can't be judged by box office alone. Xiao Le studied movies, right? Li Fang said.

Naturally, the quality of a movie cannot be measured by the box office. Zhang Le smiled and said, However, the box office of a movie can tell the strength of the movie's influence. The high box office, the people who watch it Naturally, there will be more, and the influence will be greater.

From what you're saying, you're probably making movies to pursue box office more than the art of the movie itself? Are you not afraid that people will say that your movies are full of bad money? Li Fang asked Zhang Le, looking at Zhang Le.

Art films and commercial films, I really prefer the latter. Zhang Le smiled, ignoring the pitfalls his future mother-in-law made for him, and continued, I think art films are for a few people, and commercial films It is a movie that belongs to the public. Besides, I still want to earn money from foreigners with my own movies. Therefore, I am more interested in commercial movies. Of course, it would be the best if it can be both art and business .”

Haven't you ever thought of making a movie to win awards abroad and win glory for the country? Li Fang said again.

Auntie probably hasn't seen those award-winning films abroad, right? Zhang Le shook his head, and then said, Many of those films cannot be released in China. If you have seen them, I'm afraid you wouldn't want me to make such films.

Someone on the Internet has ridiculed that Chinese-language films want to win awards in foreign art film festivals. It is easier to shoot something that reflects badly in China. It is better if it is harshly criticized. For example, poor and backward, gloomy and cruel, etc.! Yang Xiner shook her head and said with a smile, It doesn't matter if you don't get these awards.

Xin Er's words, although a bit thin, but I have to admit that there are such directors in China. Zhang Le continued, Of course, I don't like to make art films to win awards. The most important thing is to win trophies from foreigners. It is never practical to make money from foreigners. Winning awards is to win glory for the country, but if Chinese-language films are allowed to open up the foreign film market, for Chinese-language films, for the country, it is always more important than winning a few trophies. Hollywood dominates films. Our box office list is our shame. It is our glory that Chinese-language films dominate foreign box office lists. This glory is actually more than those trophies.

Can you talk about something else? I don't understand much about movies. Talk about topics that I can also interrupt, otherwise I would be too insignificant.

After Zhang Le finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, as if he was thinking about what Zhang Le just said. But at this time, Yang Mingwei, who had long been impatient, spoke.
