Chapter 286 Interview

"Um..."

"Let's go."

Bingbing immediately became obedient and led Lu Xuan into the studio.

Since it wasn't his first time, Lu Xuan was quite relaxed.

"Teacher Lu, do you need makeup?"

"No, thank you."

After sitting down in the chair, Lu Xuan waited for the interview to begin.

Soon, Bingbing returned and sat opposite Lu Xuan.

"If you're ready, I'll start now!"

"Okay, you can start."

Bingbing switched to work mode in a second and asked, "We invited Director Lu here today to ask about questions related to *Zombie Daoist*."

"Our program team has noticed that since the release of *Zombie Daoist*, a zombie craze has swept the country, and some young people who have watched the movie have also shown great interest in traditional culture."

"I wonder what Director Lu thinks of this phenomenon."

Lu Xuan thought about this question carefully, and then said, "Our original intention in shooting *Zombie Daoist* was to promote traditional culture."

"In the current market, there are mostly horror movies with foreign vampires and visitors from hell as themes. This field in China is almost blank."

"But in fact, there are quite a lot of textual materials about this aspect in ancient China. Any story is several streets ahead of vampires."

"I think I should use new methods of communication to promote China's traditional culture well. This is my responsibility and my obligation!"

"I am very optimistic about the public's focus on traditional cultural fields. This is the most effective way to sort out our cultural self-confidence and resist cultural invasion!"

Bingbing nodded in satisfaction.

Interviewing Lu Xuan was the easiest thing, he would extend the topic himself.

In the end, he would also give a statement that would be accepted by both the higher-ups and the people below.

This was much more comfortable than trying to guide him herself.

"Then, Director Lu, we have found that in the market, under the path opened up by *Zombie Daoist*, many imitators have appeared. They are blooming in the fields of novels, TV series, and movies. What do you have to say about this phenomenon?"

In fact, the question asked by the station was much more acute than the one asked by Bingbing.

The station wanted to know if Lu Xuan was angry that someone had plagiarized his idea and was impatiently taking it out to make money!

But because of some personal reasons, Bingbing embellished the question a bit.

Lu Xuan was very calm.

"I think this is a normal situation."

"This just proves the success of *Zombie Daoist*!"

"Excellent things are worth imitating, aren't they?"

"I think it is beneficial to the development of the entire market for people to continue creating along the path we have opened up."

"Because the quality of a story is not up to us creators, but up to the audience. They are the judges who determine the quality of a work."

"If there is only one zombie-themed movie like ours on the market, even if we are the creators of the theme, we cannot say that we are the best zombie movie because no one is comparing us!"

"But now that the market is showing a state of blossoming, we are confident that we are the best zombie movie!"

Bingbing covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Director Lu is really confident!"

"Then aren't you afraid of being surpassed by others?"

"Now that *Zombie Daoist* has been released for so long, these people should learn from the experience and create better works while crossing the river by feeling the *Zombie Daoist*, which is foreseeable."

"Are you really not afraid?"

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I really hope someone can make a movie that surpasses *Zombie Daoist*."

"Because this is a good thing for the entire Chinese film industry."

"Only in fierce competition can we sift the sand and select those truly talented and dedicated stars."

"Only in this way can we gradually improve the influence of our Chinese film industry."

"This is what I, an ordinary practitioner, expect."

Bingbing looked at Lu Xuan, who was talking eloquently, and her eyes were about to sparkle.

What is vision!

This is vision!

Director Lu is a director with a broad perspective!

And he is extremely confident in his work!

Although Lu Xuan said that he expected challengers, Bingbing could still hear his confidence in *Zombie Daoist* from his words.

This movie is right here!

What I shot is a classic!

If you think your work can challenge it, then I'm ready to accompany you at any time!

The overwhelming confidence made Bingbing's face a little red.

She remembered that the last time she interviewed Lu Xuan, he was as confident as he is now.

"A very charming man!"

Bingbing said to herself.

But now it was an interview, and Bingbing still controlled her expression.

"Then I'll take Director Lu's good words and look forward to the development of the Chinese film industry getting better and better!"

"But I'm also curious about one thing. Director Lu is the editor of the recently popular TV series *Empresses in the Palace*."

"Can you tell me why you arranged such a plot?"

This question was Bingbing's personal matter.

She is a die-hard fan of *Empresses in the Palace*!

Now that she can ask the screenwriter himself, even she can't help but be a little excited.

Moreover, after she asked this question, the chief director did not stop her.

This shows that she can openly satisfy her strong curiosity.

Lu Xuan didn't expect that the question he didn't answer just now was brought to the interview.

He had no choice but to pick out some things that he could say and reveal some content to Bingbing.

"The reason for choosing this story is that the background of the time was relatively comfortable, so we can describe some things in the court at that time in a large scale."

"The biggest highlight of this drama is Zhen Huan's survival step by step."

"Unlike other court dramas, the biggest highlight of this drama is the human heart."

"The human heart?"

Bingbing repeated the word.

"That's right, it's the human heart."

"The most important thing is that each character is shaped with flesh and blood, with their own ideals, their own joys, sorrows, and joys, so when you watch this drama, you can feel the tension of every step of the killing in the deep palace."

At this point, Lu Xuan stopped talking.

Although Bingbing was not satisfied, she also knew that revealing too much would also lose the fun of chasing the drama.

She planned to ask Lu Xuan for some resources that have not yet been released later.

But before that, she followed the usual practice and sold Lu Xuan a favor.

"Director Lu, then at the end of the show, is there anything else you want to say to the audience?"

Bingbing is so sensible!

Lu Xuan straightened his back and said solemnly, "Finally, I would like to promote my latest movie *Hero* to everyone."

"This movie is about to meet the audience under the careful polishing of our team."

"*Hero* will definitely give the audience a different feeling. This is the romance unique to our Chinese nation."

"Please pay attention to our official Weibo for the specific release time."

"I will also lead my team to start publicity plans in various cities."
