During this period, Chen Tiandu also participated in the recording of the special program "Master Dialogue of the World Movie Journey" of the film channel.

The main guests were Spielberg and Zhang Yimou, and the host was Zhao Zhengxiang. Because of his language barrier, Chen Tian was more like a translator. He was very modest, and he was willing to translate some of the words the two could not understand.

CCTV's viewing range is nationwide, and no TV station can pose any threat to it. Chinese people admire the things, people or things that come to CCTV.

Before this, Chen Tian was already a little famous in Hollywood, but the Chinese people didn't know what this young man looked like, big and thick, and had a big beard. Perhaps everyone will become more familiar with him after this TV show is broadcast.

Spielberg praised Zhang Yimou's talent and especially hoped that he could shoot science fiction films. Zhang Yimou immediately said: "I really want to make movies with such themes. China has many imaginative, romantic themes, and many ancient and romantic stories. I hope this movie can be as successful and beautiful as Spielberg's movies."

After a pause, he added: "It can be said that there are no science fiction movies in Chinese movies so far. I heard that this movie in Tiandu is a science fiction movie, and I am very much looking forward to it. Young people have very advanced ideas and are easy to accept new things. The future of Chinese movies requires young people like him who dare to innovate."

Chen Tian smiled, "I am ambitious, because science fiction films are the most easily invasive weapon to Hollywood. Before this, let alone China, even if it is only Hollywood that can make good-looking science fiction films in the world. Compared with science fiction films, I actually hope to make classic feature films like Teacher Zhang. Unfortunately, my simple life experience makes me dare not start easily, so I have to choose a fantastic science fiction film. I hope to give everyone a good start through this science fiction film."

Zhang Yimou immediately shook his head, "Don't learn from us. There are many Chinese people who can shoot feature films, and maybe there is no second one who can shoot science fiction films yet. Making this "The Matrix" is more important than making ten feature films."

Chen Tian didn't dare to accept his sincerity and sighed in a joking tone: "Alexander. I really don't dare to think too much. I just hope that "The Matrix" will be smashed and embarrassing us Chinese filmmakers."

Spielberg represents Hollywood, so naturally he can't escape some sensitive topics. After Zhao Zhengxiang brought up the atmosphere of the opening conversation, he immediately got to the point and asked: "Mr. Spielberg, some countries now boycott Hollywood movies represented by you. What do you think of this issue?"

Spielberg naturally wouldn't be so, thinking for a while: "Actually, after "Jurassic Park" was filmed, someone criticized me, and my "Jurassic Park" seized their market. I have to admit that the world film market is occupied by American movies. American film industry has established a good brand. Of course, it will indeed cause problems, but this problem can be solved."

"How do you think we should solve this problem?"

"In the end, the audience will decide what kind of theater to play what movies. If you say I robbed all your movie markets, why don't you just refuse me and not let my movies enter your market? Many people want to make money, or let my movies come in, what can you do? This is difficult to solve."

Zhang Yimou said: "In fact, this issue has also been mentioned in his graduation speech. It is a truth to create a competitive film environment and give the decision to the audience. In the past, we focused on making art films and winning awards because we could get state allowances. But now the road is getting narrower and narrower, and our audience has lost 100 times. This number is shocking, and it is time to make changes."

The topic is about Chen Tiandu again, and Chen Tiandu agreed: "Leaving the decision to the audience requires filmmakers to make movies more attentively. Perhaps everyone still has the idea that commercial movies only value money and have no story connotation, but now, we must win back our audience. Only the audience is the only criterion for testing the quality of a movie."

Zhao Zhengxiang said with an interesting expression: "Actually, we are all more interested in Chen Tian. Your script is actually attracted by director Spielberg, and it is a script that tells the story of the American World War II. How did you do this?"

"It's very simple, for the sake of eating."

"…This movie has achieved a good box office in China, and some American values ​​in the story are very obvious. How did you think of it? Did the family environment inspire you?"

"It's some effect that makes me broader my horizons and not limited to the war with the country. If I switch the environment to the country, I'm afraid this movie will not be filmed, so I have to continue running around, right? The family environment is not inspiring, mainly because I deliberately flatter, because I'm going to graduate and have to find a profitable job so that I won't go hungry."

Zhao Zhengxiang: “…”

"Well, who would have thought of the birth of a classic because it is so simple. Art is complex and often simple. Director Chen Tiandu lets us see the hard work of artists. So, do you have a director you admire in China?"

Chen Tian immediately pointed his hand, "Teacher Zhang, I admire him very much."

This question was too perfunctory, and Zhao Zhengxiang continued to ask, "What about except Director Zhang?"

Chen Tian thought about it, "Actually there are many. But the director I admire most is director Feng Xiaogang."

"Oh, why?" You should know that Feng Xiaogang's movie has never won any awards, and his style is not appreciated by the older generation in the circle.

"I admire him for setting a precedent for Chinese commercial films. His New Year's films have become one of the most safe brands of domestic films. Moreover, his films make investors make money and audiences will laugh after watching them. This is the representative of directors most needed in China nowadays."

"Director Chen Tiandu highly respects commercial films?"

"No, I'm just saying the type of a good director. What I need now is commercial directors, but the persistence of art film directors is also an indispensable pillar of Chinese films. The film environment in China is not good now, but some directors are still sticking to their ideals and always committed to the art film position. I admire them very much and will leave a permanent oasis for Chinese films."

Zhang Yimou applauded gently to express his agreement. After the translation, Spielberg nodded.

"Well, I still want to ask Director Spielberg, what are the things you will never compromise on as a director?"

Spielberg said: "There is one thing that I will not compromise - I will not make a movie, I don't put my heart in it, just to make money. Many people think that I made the sequel to "Jurassic Park" to make money, but I actually like that story, so I filmed it. The other is history. Many of my movies are actually very similar, such as "Schindler's List" and "Saving the Soldier", which are all testimonies of history. For me, the themes of films related to history are what I pay most attention to. As I grow older, I no longer just assume that I am an audience. I think I have to say something that I think in my heart, rather than showing the stories that the audience wants to see, which is completely different from my career in the first half."
