"No foreign friend has ever been present and can receive such grand and enthusiastic treatment. There are fighter J-7E performance formations on the top to pay tribute, hundreds of media reporters greet each other, and even the roof is full of movie fans. This is something that has never been seen before in 1997. He is the only director who can get such enthusiasm in this land, Wayne Greenberg!"

At 19:40 pm, under the gaze of countless families in this land, a TV news commentary program known for public opinion supervision officially began with the rigorous voice of host Bai Wensa.

This column, called "Focus Interview", has always been one of the most viewed columns. This column not only supervises public opinion seriously and fairly, but also focuses on official attention, public concern, and widespread existence. It has always been one of the most important channels for people to understand current affairs after dinner in this era.

However, after today's program started, all viewers watching TV discovered something different. The voice of the host Bai Wensa is still stable, making people unable to find any mistakes. However, the videos that appear with his voice are essentially different from the social news that usually tracks and reports.

"His name is Wayne Greenberg, a world-recognized master of film art, a famous philanthropist, social activist, and many media have called him the last chivalrous spirit in the Western world. He is the best director of the Oscar, and it is not just a director. Behind this name, it occupies the final right to interpret a certain type of film art..."

With Bai Wensa's narration, countless families' TV shows that there are constantly switching video materials. On it is a young man with a tough and sunny appearance, his unchanging outfit appears in various changing occasions.

There are scenes where he holds the Oscar Little Golden Man in his hand, scenes where countless media icons are around him on the cover of Time magazine, scenes where he hugs a little leukemia boy, and scenes where he wears a DIY bat suit. After each scene appears, almost briefly explains the background story of the scene.

"Wayne Greenberg, who is known as the King of Darkness by fans, is the world's top film master who has come to this land for the first time. Among many of our fans, the man who thinks he owes a movie ticket was born in Los Angeles on March 3, 1970. His parents have been engaged in film production, perhaps a good family atmosphere, and have cultivated this master who has changed the form of film.

He spoke fluent Beijing dialect, liked to eat Chinese food, loved and understood Eastern culture. Tonight, the guest of "Focus Interview" was this good friend of the Oriental, Wayne Greenberg, let's learn about this special foreign friend..."

"It's ready to start."

The voice of a staff member of the TV station appeared in Wayne's ears.

Against the background of a simple studio, a figure in a dark suit appeared in front of countless viewers after the TV camera was switched.

Long before the TV program started, both sides had already made strict restrictions on the scope of the problem. Everyone knows the importance of this program. In order not to have some uncontrollable unexpected situations, it is inevitable to make the interview outline in advance.

"Movies are also one of the channels for exchanges between Chinese culture and the world. Mr. Greenberg, how do you view Chinese film culture and the related issues arising from exchanges between Chinese film culture and world film culture."

Without any self-introduction, no polite opening, and no buffering, Bai Wensa adheres to his always-owned interview style, pointing directly to the key points, looking through issues, highlighting the highlights of the interview theme. This is a serious social TV program and has strict requirements on time, which is also one of the reasons why he goes straight to the topic.

“I think…”

When Wayne saw the camera lens turn slightly and aimed at him with a red light, he knew that the close-up of his face should have appeared on countless TV sets. He pursed his lips hard, and after pondering for a moment, he immediately said in Chinese:

"The world needs to understand the current country through some channels, especially today when China's international status is becoming increasingly heavy, and more people need to see the ever-changing changes on this land. The movie of Chacha is one of the good channels for the world to understand this land.

Through the exchange of film culture, more people will discover the enthusiasm and hospitality of the people in this land. I don’t know much about other aspects, but I am deeply aware of the development of the film industry, and the driving role of rapid economic growth. I hope that in the near future, I can see that this land has its own strong film industry system."

These words are basically answered in advance, and they also represent the theme of this interview. Everything related to the film industry can be discussed, but it will not involve politics. Of course, Wayne will not be stingy with some of his true thoughts, and he also knows how to say it so that he can get the favor of the audience in front of the TV.

As one of the most senior hosts, Bai Wensa collected a large amount of information about the interviewees in advance. Although he only looked at the performance of this Hollywood director after coming to Dongfang, he was definitely gentle and polite, but after learning about the relevant information, he knew that this was definitely not an interviewee who could be led by him.

In the impression of countless viewers, his interview style highlights the theme, and the on-site reports are even more vivid and exciting. He is especially good at starting from the details to expand his expression space. With no hurry or steady voice, he can always lead the interview rhythm very well.

But the people he is facing today are completely different. The other party is one of the best film directors in the world now. He can be said to be well-known to the media industry. Another identity is a billionaire. This word is a true capitalist outside of this land. None of the people who can make billions of dollars from scratch are easy to talk to.

"As a veteran filmmaker, Mr. Greenberg, how do you watch today's Chinese movies?"

"The Chinese film industry is still in its infancy, but this land has all the potential conveniences for success." Faced with this question, Wayne will certainly not criticize stupidly, or say some objective problems. His answer is full of expectations and praise.

"There are the most enthusiastic and best moviegoers here, and there are also vitality filmmakers. They also have enough cultural characteristics to be used in the production of movies. For example, Kung Fu, in my movies "Batman: The Moment of War" and "Batman: The Dark Knight", there are elements of Kung Fu.

Another movie "The Matrix" written, produced and invested by me, all the fighting scenes in it are designed based on kung fu. Such unique and charming cultural elements are very popular among movie fans after being expressed through the movie.

However, if you want to mature the film industry, you still need to develop patiently on this land. As more and more localized films are produced, the film market will gradually expand and grow, and various industry orders and rules will gradually be improved. My personal opinion is to give the film industry enough patience, because there are world-class movie audiences here."

As long as you participate in such a TV interview, the topic will inevitably revolve around Chinese movies. The two sides have had a long exchange of this. Not talking about the specifics, but only talking about the general direction. This is the bottom line of communication proposed by Warner Bros.

In fact, Wayne's answer was quite awkward. As a film projectionist in the film distribution system in his previous life, he knew the ups and downs of the film market here after he knew it too well.

Fortunately, the final result is good. As he said, it has all the necessary and convenient conditions for the success of the film market. With the rapid development of the film industry, more and more localized films have emerged. Putting aside the necessary pain process, it has indeed become the world's second largest film market.

This is one of the reasons why he personally does not like those banned directors, because no matter from that perspective, this market has successfully become the world's second largest stock store, and these people have not played a role in promoting it. Even after the market grew, all the flowers bloomed and local blockbuster art films began to appear, but the directors were never the older generation.

"I noticed that you mentioned culture." Bai Wensa glanced at the time in a hidden way. Since the show only lasted fifteen minutes, plus the introduction and design at the beginning and end, there was actually not much time left for the interview.

"I think many movie fans and filmmakers are wondering a question: Is the nation also the world? Or can movies that represent national culture also succeed on the world stage?"

This question is the hardest answer of all the questions tonight. It's like asking a person whether he has a chicken or an egg first. In fact, no matter how he answers, he may be criticized.

In fact, Wayne himself had a very clear answer to this question, but what made him feel embarrassed was whether to express his own point of view or to say something that everyone likes to hear.

"If you say it as a friend..."

When he found that the camera started to feature himself again, his face began to become serious and his voice was full of formality. "As a good friend, I will tell you that nationality is never the world!"

As soon as he said that, Bai Wensa's face changed immediately, and then she looked at Wayne with nervous eyes. This was the first time since the show started, this host, who is known for being stable, had a major emotional fluctuation.

"Focus Interview" these days is not the virtual live broadcast. What worries the hosts the most is always broadcast accidents. When Wayne's answer did not follow the outline of communication in advance, the TV station was almost shocked from the host to the director.
