How to Interview Celebrities Successfully?―Share if You Care!






There is an assumption that conducting interviews and giving interviews are easy tasks. They are tough tasks indeed especially when you conduct interviews with celebrities. If becoming a celebrity and giving interviews is one thing, interviewing a celebrity is another thing. Both tasks need the right platforms to share ideas and build leadership brands. In this post, I will discuss interviewing celebrities, etiquette, and tips to interview celebrities successfully.

You must join appropriate platforms to connect with celebrities and use your connections wisely to reach them through various means including email, telephone, and personal interaction. It is advisable to approach them through your reliable connections because they give comfort and confidence to the celebrities.  Additionally, celebrities have their apprehensions and insecurities.  


How to Interview Celebrities?

Prepare a template and customize your questions according to the interests of the celebrities and their profession. Here is a blueprint to interview celebrities successfully.
  • Research intensively about the celebrity and find out their areas of interests to connect with them before the interview and frame questions accordingly.   
  • Capture the ideas that flash through your mind first. Convert them into questions. Present them into a polished language. Avoid irrelevant questions and repetition. Structure and sequence them. Edit them ruthlessly.
  • Don’t give the questions to the interviewees in advance to achieve the right outcomes. However, you may share an outline of the interview in advance to enable the interviewee to prepare mentally.
  • Observe etiquette and respect their privacy.
  • Avoid close-ended questions. Ask open-ended questions to get the best.
  • Avoid asking embarrassing, controversial and personal questions. Instead, hit the bull’s eye with right questions. Don’t ask questions based on rumors and grapevine.
  • Listen attentively and empathetically. Don’t interrupt. If there is a need to interrupt, wait for a pause during the conversation and ask your question politely. Avoid creating an impression that you have cut off the interviewee.
  • Avoid outsmarting the interviewee. Don’t control the conversation. Let the interviewee speak freely.
  • Be unique and add value to your audiences by asking innovative and useful questions. Respect the time of your audiences and readers.  
  • Indicate a signpost when you are about to close the interview.

An ideal interview unveils the unknown areas of the interviewee and adds value to the audiences and readers.


Conclusion

Research and preparation are the keys to successful celebrity interviews. Take liberty to deviate from the questions to have a natural flow of conversation. Take intrapersonal feedback after the interview to improve. Practice a lot and improve regularly to excel as a successful interviewer. To summarize, don’t give up if the celebrities don’t agree to your interview requests. Be patient and persistent. It is worth trying to add value and stand out from others. Good luck to your successful interviews!

Bollywood, Biopics, and Blockbusters―Share if You Care!






“All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.” —Isak Dinesen


Presently there are several biopics in the Indian film industry. There were several biopics including Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi that were blockbusters globally. Currently, increased attention is paid to biopics in India as producers are getting decent returns and the audiences are welcoming them wholeheartedly.

Biopics inspire people to understand the inner challenges and struggles of famous people. People are often swayed away by the external appearances and achievements of the eminent people. When they view the biopics, they understand the inner struggles, sacrifices, peaks, and valleys of the eminent people. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf rightly remarked, “One has to look at my life story to see what I've done. I've paid a heavy price that many people don't realize.” Biopics offer education, entertainment, and enlightenment to the audiences. Audiences empathize and accept that achieving success is not easy in life. Biopics enlighten audiences that famous people were also ordinary individuals but with extraordinary passion, zeal, energy, and enthusiasm. They encourage audiences to encounter challenges squarely. Above all, they help audiences dream and achieve big in life.


The Significance of Biopic Films

“Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story.” —John Barth

If the characters undergo frequent struggles and sufferings in their life, the biopic becomes an inspiration to the audiences and offers valuable takeaways. I will be very happy if any film producer comes forward to make my biopic as it becomes the biggest blockbuster. It inspires everyone especially students to understand the challenges I have undergone hailing from humble origins with self-education and peaks and valleys. Of course, I did not kick up any controversies in my life which would spice up the film. My life is full of struggles, sufferings, and sacrifices. I am a self-made man and served in the Indian Air Force. I was cheated by my relatives and rescued by my friends. I had extreme lows and peaks and reached the tipping point as an award-winning author. People can learn many lessons in my life. I am a multifaceted personality with diversified backgrounds including military, business, teaching, research, consultancy, writing and philosophy. Here are the things to know about me URL: http://professormsraovision2030.blogspot.in/2015/10/things-you-dont-know-about-professor-m.html


Choose Your Biopic Wisely

“It is easy to make stuff up - and easy to dig up information and repeat it or report it to others. But to find a real life story with real people in real life situations is quite difficult and time-consuming. Yet, the rewards are worth the effort.” —Lee Gutkind

Any biopic must be based on facts and figures. It must not present a rosy picture. It must win the mind, heart, and soul of the audiences. Any attempt to deviate or distort the facts will make the film bomb at the box office. Before choosing the biopic, the directors must ensure that the eminent person is inspiring with ups and downs and struggles and sufferings. Audiences must learn some lessons. They must leave the cinema halls with takeaways.   


Conclusion

“Your life story is a gift, and it should be treated as such.” —Emily V. Gordon

Biopics leave a legacy to future generations and enlighten that life is not a cakewalk. They convey message to the audiences that life is worth living if it has challenges. To conclude, we must encourage films on biopics to enable our next generations about the challenges the eminent individuals have undergone and enlighten that there is always a silver lining over the dark cloud and another day to fight and win.
