At 9: 40 PM, the third and fourth episodes of Prison Break ended. After a five-minute commercial break, the celebrity interview program, "Here Comes the Big Shot," officially began.
Wang Lan walked onto the stage gracefully and said with a smile, "Yesterday, Hua Xia aired a new TV series, Prison Break, directed by the most famous director in Hua Xia, Xiao Yunhai. This is Mr. Xiao's second TV series after the miraculous ratings of Langya Board, which set off a wave of viewership ratings. The first two episodes achieved a super high viewership rating of 44% and took the entire Hua Xia by storm.
"Today, we are honored to have the five main creators of Prison Break with us. Let's give our warmest applause to Hollywood's Mr. Sparkdicky, Mr. Leo Coffey, Mr. Louis Hatton, Mr. Scott Bloom, and Hua Xia's famous director, Xiao Yunhai."
"Clap, clap, clap."
Under the applause of dozens of audience members, Xiao Yunhai and the others walked onto the stage one by one as they greeted the audience.
They simply shook hands with the host, Wang Lan, and greeted her. Then, they all sat down on the sofa.
Wang Lan's hosting style was unrestrained and unrestrained. After seeing that everyone was seated, she smiled and said, "Mr. Bloom is so handsome. No wonder he's so popular with the millions of female viewers in Hua Xia."
Louis was not happy to hear that. He said, "Miss Wang, don't you think I'm handsome too?"
Wang Lan was stunned. Then, she said, "Louis, your Hua Xia accent is really good."
"Haha."
"Hahaha."
Everyone in the audience laughed.
Wang Lan continued, "Everyone, before the official interview, let me tell you a piece of good news. The ratings for the third and fourth episodes of Prison Break, which just ended, are much higher than yesterday's. Although the average ratings have not been calculated yet, the highest ratings have exceeded 50% and become the second most watched TV series in Hua Xia in the past decade. "
"Wow."
When the audience heard the news, they all exclaimed.
Scott was a little surprised and asked, "Who's number one?"
Wang Lan smiled and said, "So far away, but so close."
Leo asked in surprise, "Is this also Mr. Xiao's show?"
Wang Lan nodded. "That's right. His last drama, "Lang Ya's List", had a peak viewership rating of 60% and was popular throughout Asia. At the same time, this drama swept away almost all the awards at the Hua Xia Golden Bottle TV Festival and became a legend. Today, Prison Break is very likely to be … No, it's already the second legend. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's all in the past. It has nothing to do with the present."
Scott said, "Mr. Xiao, you're amazing. Being cast in 'Prison Break' is the best decision I've ever made. "
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Hearing that a Hollywood superstar praised Xiao Yunhai, the director of Hua Xia, so much, the audience felt honored and applauded.
Wang Lan smiled and said, "Alright, let's officially begin today's interview program. There's a segment in our program where we'll announce the stars for the next episode on the homepage and let the netizens leave comments to see what they want to know the most. Then, we'll choose from them. Now, I have more than 50 questions in my hands. Let's talk about it and see where we go. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Go ahead, Miss Wang."
Wang Lan nodded and said, "The first question is, when the crew of 'Prison Break' was filming in California, there was an explosion and a prop gun was replaced with a real gun. The netizens want to know what happened. This question came up the most frequently. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "That means most of the netizens are very gossipy."
"Hahaha."
Scott said, "Let me answer this question, because the gun was aimed at me. At that time, we had finished lunch and rested for a while. We were planning to shoot a scene where the police catch the thief. I was the thief, and the police had to shoot me. At that time, the crew was already in place. As long as Mr. Xiao gave the order, we could start shooting. But after waiting for a long time, Mr. Xiao didn't give the order to take action. When I looked at him curiously, I saw that his face was very ugly. His eyes kept looking around as if he was looking for something. After a while, something amazing happened. Mr. Xiao took the gun from the police actor and fired. Only then did we know that the prop gun was a real gun. The actor was so scared that he fell to the ground. I was scared too. My heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of my chest. If it weren't for Mr. Xiao's premonition of danger, I wouldn't even be alive right now. "
Wang Lan smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao's ability to sense danger has come true countless times. What about the explosion case? "
Scott said, "When Mr. Xiao was looking for the prop gun, one of our cars suddenly exploded, and the other cars were also affected. All of them were blown up into pieces of scrap iron. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the crew suffered a great loss. They had to pay a lot of money to the rental company. If it were any other crew, I'm afraid the crew would have already been disbanded. "
Wang Lan asked, "Did you find the murderer?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "We only know that it was done by a man with a knife scar on his neck. We don't know anything else."
Wang Lan said, "A case like this, where we can't even guess the murderer's motive, is the most difficult to investigate. Second question, was Mr. Xiao very violent when he was shooting? Very strict? "
"Violent?" Louis laughed and said, "If Mr. Xiao was violent, do you think we actors would be able to survive?"
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.
Scott said, "And it wasn't very strict. It should be called very, very strict. Like the look at the end of the first episode, I filmed it for three days. Even when I returned to the hotel, I practiced that look in front of the mirror. I almost broke my eyes. Even so, during the official filming, we still filmed more than 20 times. "
Wang Lan said, "But the effect was very good. Do you know how many female viewers on Hua Xia fell in love with you because of that look? Let me tell you, at least tens of millions. "
Scott laughed and said, "So even though it was hard, I'm still very grateful to Mr. Xiao for his guidance. The best way for an actor to improve his acting skills is not to practice, but to act under the guidance of an excellent director. From cut to pass, this process is the best way to train an actor. Just like that look, it made my performance more delicate and vivid. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "As long as you don't scold me."
Wang Lan said, "Mr. Xiao, the third question is for you. Did you predict that Prison Break would have such high viewership ratings? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "10% was my bottom line, and 20% was my goal. I didn't expect to achieve this goal after only four episodes. This was beyond my expectations. So we have to thank Hua Xia and the audience all over the world for liking and supporting this show.
"The fourth question. Some netizens said that Prison Break has a total of 56 episodes, but only two episodes are aired in one night. Including Friday and Saturday, only ten episodes can be aired in a week. This way, they will have to watch it for six weeks, which is too unbearable. He asked if Yun Qing TV Station can broadcast three or four episodes in one night? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't ask me. I usually don't interfere with the internal affairs of Yun Qing TV Station. How they broadcast and how many episodes they broadcast is up to the TV station. Besides, it's a little inappropriate to ask this question here. Because once the TV station agrees to broadcast three or four episodes of Prison Break, then our show, 'Here Comes the Big Shot,' will be in big trouble. Sister Lan, don't you think so? "
Wang Lan smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao is really amazing. Even talking about this topic has led to me. However, from this question, we can also see that everyone likes Prison Break. I heard that your Storm Game Company has expressed their dissatisfaction with you, saying that your Prison Break has seriously affected Warcraft. I wonder if that's true? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. Their person-in-charge did give me a call. Because of the appearance of Prison Break, the number of people online for Warcraft dropped by more than 60% during that time period, so they were a little anxious. However, there's no other way. They can't just stop broadcasting Prison Break, right? "
Wang Lan said, "For Prison Break to be able to do this, it's really amazing. Fifth question. In the entertainment industry, the film industry has always been higher than the television industry. Some netizens don't understand why you suddenly came back from the film industry to the television industry. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "That was in the past. It's different now. The competition in television is more intense than in the film industry. If you want to gain the audience's approval, you need to spend a lot more effort than in the film industry. Let's take 'Prison Break' as an example. I used the best camera and professional film for the entire shoot. Just this alone was several times more expensive than '2012'. I can't help it. The TV series is too long, so naturally a lot of film is wasted. "
Wang Lan smiled and said, "No wonder the scenes of Prison Break that we saw were so different from other TV series. So it turns out that you shot it on film. You said that you spent 600 million USD on this show, and all your feelings were spent on this."
In this highly developed world of entertainment, film was ten times more expensive than in his previous life. Xiao Yunhai used film to shoot a TV series. Not to mention other things, just the film alone cost more than 100 million USD. That was enough to make a low-budget TV series.
Xiao Yunhai said, "If you want to make a high-quality product, you can't be afraid of spending money. I only have one requirement for Marvel's directors. As long as they are ready to shoot a film, they must give 200% of their ability. Make the film the best you can. Money is not a problem. Even if the final results are not ideal, as long as the quality of the film is good, I will give you a second chance. On the contrary, I don't want directors who are not serious about filming, who don't pay attention to details, and who have rough productions, no matter how good their results are. Fortunately, Marvel hasn't had such a director until today. I am very happy about this. "
Wang Lan said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm not trying to flatter you. Marvel Comics' TV series in recent years have been very good. The viewership ratings are even higher than the previous one. Clearly, they have put in a lot of effort. Especially those superhero TV series. The special effects are very good, almost comparable to movies. This is probably the reason why Marvel's TV series can take the world by storm. "
"Sixth question …"
