Interview with Deng Lei
Deng Lei, editor in chief of CCTV chronicle, visited Sina
From 15:00 to 16:00 p.m. on July 21, 2005, CCTV documentary producer Liu Hongyan, chief editor Deng Lei and director Li Bingqi visited the Sina guest chat room to chat with netizens about the production process of the documentary "Hello Real Madrid" and "goodbye Real Madrid". Since 2003, chronicle has been paying close attention to Real Madrid. When Real Madrid come to China again, the two 45 minute documentaries will be released on July 23 and July 30. The following is the chat record.
Host: Ma
Don't worry. We've just started our chat. Now let's talk to the fans of chronicle in front of the network computer. Ask Deng Lei, the editor in chief, and Li Bingqi, the director. Are you all fans?
Deng Lei
I'm half of it. For me, I just like watching football, and for so many years our group has been doing football shows, all three of us have done it. I do more, so I know football better.
Host: Ma
Why wasn't it on at that time?
Deng Lei
At that time, Real Madrid came and we paid attention to every aspect. In addition to the real fans, there are also fans. They are all for Becks, or Figo, or their appearance. There are also some people in the football industry who have aroused their concern and thinking. There are also media, players, including players like the red tower, coaches and staff. That is to say, participants, bystanders and followers should be said to be these aspects. We've got a couple of machines. It should be said that there were a lot of media reporters at that time, but we had our own perspective and shot some of our own things.
Host: Ma
It is a comprehensive phenomenon of Real Madrid's visit to China. If it could be broadcast at that time, which points would you choose for the audience to see?
Deng Lei
Maybe so, or there is a process from phenomenon to essence. Real Madrid itself is a phenomenon, we must show it. There are a lot of things behind the phenomenon, including those about football and those that have nothing to do with football. We pay more attention to those related to football, but most of them have nothing to do with football, that is, commercial phenomenon. It not only reflects the current social fashion, but also reflects many of our own characteristics of China's national conditions. For example, in terms of communication with them, in terms of business operation, whether the business is mature or whether many legal or even other means are adopted in order to make money. It's like we're shooting from football, but we're shooting at a bigger level.

What is the mentality of the public? What kind of analysis is in the film?
Deng Lei
First of all, the phenomenon of chasing Real Madrid. Because football should be said to be a fashion, and for Chinese fans, football is very complicated. In fact, we have been doing football for a long time. In 2001, when the Chinese team just qualified, we made a four episode film. At that time, Liu Hongyan was the chief director, including the reform of the Chinese Super League, and Li Bingqi made three episodes of football. We continued to pay attention to the phenomenon of the reform of the Chinese Super League in a continuous stage. In addition, including the fans, we have made a lot of football programs. Maybe we are also fans, and we are also very concerned about football. I mean football is a complicated thing for Chinese people, so this complexity can also be applied to Real Madrid. Many people like Real Madrid because of many things. For example, professionals like Real Madrid, such as Zidane, or Figo, his organization, or the running of David. But for fans, what they may like is another thing, which is really idolatry. I think for us now, it's not only sports, but also fashion. What's more, there are many things in it. There are dreams or catharsis, or there are many things. I think it's very complicated. So is the Real Madrid phenomenon. Everyone has his own things behind this complexity. But for the participants, in addition to the fans, it's more of a money making thing. Don't regard it as a professional game. In fact, it's not, it's just a business place. This is the conclusion we came to after our final observation. Second, as Liu Hongyan said, we want to be thinkers, observers and recorders. We put all the things we observed and recorded in the film, including the orderly, structured, systematic and rhythmic ones. As for thinking things are common, we are also thinking. We can present our thinking, but it only represents us. More thinking is left to you through our records and displays.

As a female director, when doing this program in the later stage, what do you feel particularly happy about?
Deng Lei
In fact, the scope of joy may be very wide. I have been from Oriental time and space to chronicle for 10 years. Joy needs to be brewed. I don't know if I can understand this. On March 8 this year, I wrote some articles about the women I photographed, and then CCTV website called me to talk about the topic of female directors. In fact, I don't know if this kind of answer can satisfy netizens. That is to say, I am very tired of this kind of joy, because you need passion when you create a film. As Li Bingqi said just now, you need enthusiasm to have devotion, and devotion to have concentration, so it's such a process. Therefore, when creating films, we need to have passion. If we keep it for ten years, we need courage and strength. Personally, I think we still hold passion, including joy. Yesterday when we stayed up late, we were still talking about this topic. In fact, I still love making movies. When I see movies constantly appearing, there is something gratifying. This thing has been used to. It is more likely that it is the fatigue accumulated for so many years. It may be such a process to constantly refine in the fatigue.
Host: Ma
Three TV people have been making documentaries since a long time ago. Is there any difference between the fatigue of documentaries and other subjects?
Deng Lei
Very different. I'll do it in one detail. Our program is in the same computer room as our other program "news reception hall". They are daily programs. Their directors and editors are changing every day. They are different in editing every day, and then the editors are changing every day. They rarely stay up late or work overtime, but occasionally. Their plan told me yesterday, Deng Lei, I found that no matter when I come, because you are a weekend program, no matter when I come, there will always be someone in your computer room. I don't know if this scenario can explain the documentary. If you get something, you may ask the guest in the studio to talk about it, but it will take a lot of trouble for us to get it.
Host: Ma
If you want to make a good documentary, first of all, you should have a passion and sense of responsibility for the society or people, as well as curiosity.
Deng Lei
Yes, curiosity must be.
Host pony
I'm so tired. How can I hold on? On what?
Deng Lei
Our old producer once said that making documentaries has a lot to do with being a person. I told you when I came. Now when I think about it, what do you rely on? In fact, part of it is inertia. You have been working for so many years, like working nine to five. There is also something of quality. When you have time, you can go to our column to have a look at everyone's mentality, character and documentary makers. You can quickly feel the difference between them and other people. This may be that we have to calm down and let ourselves have a relatively calm mentality. Liu Hongyan and I wrote a summary of our group two days ago. Many people in our group have been working for more than ten years. We may say that our professional ethics and ethics are very big and empty, but we have a deep understanding. This kind of professional ethics and ethics restricts us all the time. However, it is really secondary if we say that it comes from any motivation to support our families, and many people are due to the fact that it is not the only reason Do it for love.
