Meng Jing was sitting on the bus, thinking about today's interview task.

She works for Sanlian Life Weekly, a news and cultural journal. She has a certain influence in China and is very popular among young people and intellectuals.

The characteristics of magazines are that they attach equal importance to cultural and news, and strive to make news have a historical character.

To put it bluntly, it is just how profound it comes from, revealing a stream of intellectuals’ clear talk.

This year is the year of transformation and transformation of Sanlian Life Weekly, from a bimonthly to a weekly magazine, from focusing on major news events to the entertainment industry.

This magazine used to report on news in the entertainment industry, but now it focuses more on this aspect.

This transformation is a helpless move. In order to seize the market, cater to readers' needs, and prevent the magazine from continuing to lose money.

Unlike other entertainment media's concerns, even if Sanlian Life Weekly reports entertainment news, it should add something profound to show its unique style.

For example, in "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure", other media focused on the investment of 800 million yuan and the situation of actors.

"Sanlian Life Weekly" can talk about British literature, compare the current situation of domestic literature, and then talk about the profound social significance and cultural connotation behind the movie.

Their slogan is that even if you are an entertainment journalist, you should be a tasteful and cultural entertainment journalist.

Meng Jing is such an entertainment reporter.

She joined "Sanlian Life Weekly" two years ago. She is not a newcomer or a veteran. She has just made a name for herself in the entertainment journalism circle and has become a little famous.

Today is the day when the crew of "Heroes" is open to the media, allowing visits to take photos and half an hour of interviews.

Since the preparations for "Hero", it has been in a closed state except for a launch conference.

On the one hand, we are focused on filming and not disturbed by the outside world, and on the other hand, we are to maintain a sense of mystery.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an adaptation of a novel into a movie. Everyone knows the plot, so there is no need to keep it confidential.

"Hero" invested 150 million yuan and gathered a group of the best actors in China, directed by Feng Xiaogang. These factors attracted the attention of the public.

The more mysterious it is, the more it can arouse people's curiosity.

For the sales of newspapers and magazines, entertainment reporters will also spend all their time exploring the inside story and news of "Hero".

It can be said that the main creators of "Hero" are all the targets they focus on tracking.

However, the crew has done quite well in preventive measures. After the actors join the group, they are responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, which isolates the opportunity to meet the media.

Even Feng Xiaogang went to the hospital to visit Fu Biao and was sneaky.

This does not mean that "Hero" is not promoted, but that it must be promoted at the pace of Good Dream Company.

I open it to reporters from time to time, give some publicity materials, keep the topic hot, and when the film is released, another round of large-scale publicity offensive will come.

Meng Jing is not very old, but she is not young.

She has interviewed many well-known figures in the entertainment industry, with a more rational style, a little sarcastic and mean.

She believes that although she is an entertainment reporter, she should look at this circle with a cold-eyed and obsessed attitude, not blindly following, not obsessed with or disgusted with it, just objective reports.

Regardless of whether the interviewee is a big shot or not, ask whatever you should ask and do not avoid it.

That being said, but she still had a headache about the interviewee today.

This is probably the common view of entertainment journalists.

If we talk about the stars that domestic entertainment reporters are most reluctant to interview, the top three must be Jiang Wen, Director Chen and Wang Zhiwen, who do not play according to the routine.

Jiang Wen was aggressive in the face of reporters and often left the reporter speechless in his questioning, and interviews were like war.

Director Chen is very serious and always habitually corrects the low-level questions raised by reporters, and teaches reporters some ideological education, such as class.

For example, your entertainment journalist should be cultured and have a sense of social responsibility.

Wang Zhiwen is even more famous and difficult to deal with. He always looks straight when facing reporters and questions his professionalism.

Now that the three of them are gathered together to film, the entertainment reporter's heart is broken.

The reporter didn’t say that he really didn’t want to interview, each of these three people was big news, but he was a little worried.

They want to get scoops, but also face embarrassing situations that may arise at any time. Before coming, they should think about the questions they need to ask and do their homework.

Meng Jing looked at the question he was asking in the notebook and felt that it was OK.

Nowadays, readers are most concerned about whether "Hero" can be the Oscar like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I believe many reporters will ask this question.

There are also the differences and box office expectations between "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Meng Jing felt that these questions were asked too early, so how did the director and actors answer? Besides, always comparing the two movies can easily cause the other party to be disgusted.

Her entry point is story and actors.

What kind of story is this? The position and space for a group of the best actors in this story are the foundation of the movie.

Jiang Wen, Chen Daoming, Wang Zhiwen, Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei, this is a super luxurious lineup.

Meng Jing was a little regretful, and she hoped to have an exclusive interview with the director and each actor separately to explore the deeper things behind "Hero".

Good Dream Company is following the trend in making this film or is it aspiring to bring domestic blockbusters to the world.

The true thoughts of the company's boss Lin Zixuan and the film's creators.

But she knew that this was unlikely, and "Sanlian Life Weekly" had a bad relationship with Haomeng Company.

Because she insisted on style, she mocked "My Savage Girlfriend" and believed that it was a mediocre and sensational commercial film. The director compromised with the market and lost his sincere attitude as a literary and artistic worker.

Commercial films that criticize box office big sales can easily resonate with the intellectual group.

At the same time, she praised Ge You's "Kara is a Dog", and art films are the favorites of petty bourgeois people.

Meng Jing knows what kind of readers she is, and what she writes should be consistent with the style of the magazine.

Good Dream Company has its own familiar media and journalists, and even if there are exclusive interviews, they will be handed over to those journalists.

This is Meng Jing’s depressed place. Haomeng Company has become a weather vane in the mainland entertainment industry. Almost all the big news in the entertainment industry in the past two years are related to Haomeng Company.

If you can’t get first-hand materials and exclusive interviews, how can you make a name for yourself in the entertainment journalist circle?

The one she wants to interview most is Lin Zixuan. Lin Zixuan is a storied figure in this circle. From the 1990s to the present, Lin Zixuan has been both an eyewitness and a creator.

Interview with Lin Zixuan is to unveil the development history of the domestic film and television industry over the past decade.

It is very attractive to entertainment journalists.

In other words, as long as you get Lin Zixuan’s interview, you can become famous in one battle.

However, Lin Zixuan had very few interviews. At the end of 1995, there was an interview with Lin Zixuan on "Contemporary Movie". At that time, Good Dream Company had just gained a foothold.

As it turns out, that interview is very forward-looking.

I believe that Good Dream Company has found a successful path for private film companies and is worth learning from.

Meng Jing set a goal for herself in her heart, and she wanted to get Lin Zixuan's next interview.
