Chapter 233: No Matter What Topic He Talks About, Don’t Trust Him, He Will Be Gone in Seconds if He Shows up Next Year!

At this time, a reporter stood up and asked, "Director Chen, do you have any new creative plans or projects next?"

Walker's eyes lit up.

Immediately put down the half-eaten bread in his hand and waited attentively for Chen Xiao's answer.

"Yes, I plan to make another movie in the second half of the year."

Walker's face became serious.

This time, it was his fault for underestimating the enemy and not doing his best to suppress "The Truman Show". Next time, if it is released at the same time, he will definitely go all out!

Just thinking of this, the reporter in the picture continued to ask, "What type of movie do you plan to make next?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a feature film. It tells the story of a Chinese person's thirty or forty years of experience."

"Is it about running around overseas for thirty years? For example, the story of a businessman?"

"No, rooted in a Chinese town. If you must say a profession, it is a shadow play artist."

As soon as this was said, a muttering discussion came from the speaker.

Walker's mind became messy.

Wait a minute, he is going to shoot a Chinese theme?

Wouldn't it be like "Farewell My Concubine" and "Kung Fu"?

No matter how popular this is, it will only attract people who are interested in China. Isn't he going overseas?

Was he joking at the beginning of the year?

No... Last time he said he was going to make an art film, the box office exploded.

The kid is very brave.

On the one hand, he doesn't tell lies, and on the other hand, he walks out of an unusual track in the truth.

Forget it, don't believe him.

If they believe what he says, wouldn't they be stupid?

No matter what he shoots next time, he will be released in seconds as soon as he shows his head!

Just thinking of this, the phone buzzed.

Picked it up and saw that it was a message from Brandon in the production department.

"Walker, have you seen Chen Xiao's interview? There will be a seminar at the end of next month. I think we can take advantage of that opportunity to discuss with major companies, unite familiar distribution and theaters, and reduce the number of his works. Unite the media to reduce exposure."

Walker nodded.

He thought so too.

Chen Xiao's new film is expected to be released at the beginning of next year, and he may contact overseas partners in advance.

At the earliest, it can probably be released two months in advance, right?

Let's discuss it at the end of next month. It will definitely be in time to block the Chinese-themed work next year.

Walker smiled and replied, "Okay, no problem."

After they learned about Chen Xiao's new film, they reacted in the same way. They didn't believe it and thought about countermeasures.

The reactions of netizens watching the live broadcast in China were varied.

"Daozi! Definitely Daozi. If not, downstairs is 10 pounds fatter!"

"Upstairs, your name is 'Downstairs', right?"

"Shadow puppetry, gosh! To be honest, the art in Dao Ge's movies is top-notch. Can we see top-notch shadow puppetry this time?"

"Xiaoxiang Shadow Puppetry Association: WTF? WTF? WTF? Do you know how it feels to slack off at work and find out you've won a prize?"

"I don't know. I don't know how it feels to slack off at work and then blow up online."

"Hahahaha!"

...

Looking at the comments on the live broadcast platform, the host asked tentatively: "Director Chen, netizens are more concerned about the sadness and joy of the movie as usual. Can you reveal it?"

"Well... both. It's almost impossible for a film or TV work to be happy from beginning to end, so how can you find some sadness?" After speaking, Chen Xiao put down the microphone.

Points, equal to 80%.

Don't blame him if you don't understand it well.

On this topic, several reporters and fans asked questions.

Chen Xiao picked a few to answer.

About 10 minutes later, the time for the meeting was running out.

A reporter changed the subject and asked, "Hello, Director Chen. Does the company have other projects next? As far as we know, the variety shows of the variety department and the animations of the animation department are all created by members of the company's creative department. Will you be involved in other projects next?"

Chen Xiao nodded.

Currently, the variety department is hosting an outdoor competitive variety show. This is an idea proposed and executed by employees. It is impossible for him to come up with all the ideas of the company.

As for the animation department, it is a small animation used to cover up "Frozen".

"At present, the TV series department is still idle. Next, Director Fang will direct and I will be the screenwriter to shoot a costume drama."

As soon as this was said, a brief discussion suddenly broke out in the audience.

The fans in front of the screen also became excited.

Costume drama!

"Oh my god! I love watching costume dramas the most! Costume dramas give me a sense of escape from reality."

"Oh my god, Director Chen has finally taken action on costume dramas. Hurry up and clean up the field of costume dramas."

"Finally, someone has taken action on them. Etiquette, costumes, posters, stories, all the ancient idol dramas are really not good at anything now."

"Yes, it drives me crazy. The posters and stories are almost the same. Pink and purple, men and women on the left and right, either holding their faces or exposing their waists, and then adding a few peach blossoms."

"What type? Martial arts? History? Mythology? Biography?"

Just as netizens were discussing it heatedly.

Three words were heard from the speakers at the scene: "Palace fighting drama."

In an instant, the whole audience fell silent.

The reporters at the scene blinked, looked at each other, and doubted their ears.

A foreign reporter in the front row was stunned for a moment, and the names of some palace dramas he had heard when he was studying slowly emerged in his mind. He quickly translated them into Chinese and asked tentatively:

"Palace fighting drama? Do you mean TV dramas such as "The Burning Princess in the Forbidden City", "The Emperor's Spring", "Tears in the Qianlong Harem" and "The Dangerous Husband in the Forbidden City"?"

As soon as he said these words, the originally quiet multi-purpose hall fell silent for an instant.

Most of the Chinese reporters pursed their lips and their faces turned red quickly.

Two seconds later, a goose call of "hahaha" broke the silence.

In the fan area, a fan couldn't hold it in any longer and covered his mouth, shaking his shoulders and arching his back, bursting into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, this laughter was like sparks falling into gunpowder, instantly igniting the entire multi-functional hall.

The hall burst into laughter.

Chen Xiao picked up the phone, nodded and said, "That's right, but what you said should be the result of translating the foreign name and then translating it back."

"Okay, thank you, Director Chen."

The foreign reporter smiled awkwardly.

It seems that the translation is to blame.

The reporters and netizens at the scene suddenly reacted after a brief burst of laughter.

Palace fight drama?

Directed by Director Fang and written by Chen Xiao, Gong Dou Drama?

What kind of outrageous contrast is this?

But the reporters present had their tail between their legs.

In addition, this was a post-screening meeting for "The Truman Show".

Firstly, no one dared to go off topic, and secondly, they didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of being labeled as digging holes for Chen Xiao for traffic.

As for online netizens, I can see that most of them are fans.

Under their scrolling, the voices curious about the reason for the shooting were also drowned out.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao said that it was a drama with a female protagonist, the topic was skipped without further exploration.

After another 10 minutes, the meeting ended.

After signing autographs and taking photos with fans, Chen Xiao and the rest of the creative team left the multi-function hall through the VIP channel.
