How Star interviews really come about-DiePresse.com
Excitement to Elisabeth Sereda’s Eastwood interview: Film journalist Mariam Schaghi about « Round Tables » with stars and why « Best of » interviews are not common.
Mariam Schaghaghi has the scandal about Elisabeth Sereda’s interview with Clint Eastwood in the “courier« Of course noticing. » The industry cooks, « she says, but emphasizes that the whole thing in Germany does not do quite as high waves as in Austria. Schaghaghi has been a film journalist for 25 years, has interviewed hundreds of stars, and for fifteen years her interviews have also appeared regularly in the « press ». We reach you for the podcast in Hamburg, where she lives and works. As a reputable colleague, Elisabeth Sereda estimates that she was also a recognized member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HfPA for short) until the association was dissolved in 2013.
So-called « round tablle » interviews are not only widespread in the international film industry, but are recognized. This is especially time -saving for the prominent stars. Schaghaghi: “Sometimes is a good one Round Table Better than a bad single. A single interview is not a quality feature. »

« Ultimately, Eastwood also wants to sell cinema tickets »
Nevertheless, Schaghaghi says that it is not common (as in the case of Eastwood) from several older interviews to make a kind of « best of » interview. A body text would be more suitable, which makes it clear, when which quotations of the respective star come from. And it advocates full transparency. If you claim US journalists that they had the interview with a star in the café around the corner, they can hardly believe. « It hasn’t happened to me that I met with stars in the café, definitely not with Julia Roberts. » Nevertheless, the film journalist also points out how delicate it is to point to certain colleagues. It is a hard industry, it is primarily about entertainment, but behind it is a tough business: « Ultimately, it was also about Clint Eastwood about selling cinema tickets. »
