China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 104 Was Forcibly Matched

"Director He, the premiere will be held twice in less than a month. The last one is a literary film, and this one is a commercial film. How do you ensure that you can shoot quickly and ensure the quality?" Jing Wei threw He Fang the first This question does not seem simple.

"This is a misunderstanding. It's like watching a space launch. We just watch the rocket go to space very fast. We are deceived by the senses, thinking that going to space is easy, but in fact it is not easy at all. The reason It was easy for everyone to see because someone had done a lot of preparation before the launch was successful."

"Similarly, everyone only saw that "People on the Journey" and "Single Zoo" were very close, and thought it was a quick shot. In fact, the two films were deliberately released together, in order to borrow from each other. place of strength."

"As for how to ensure the quality you said, I said it just now. In fact, we have already planned the quality of the finished film before shooting. Therefore, we are fast and good."

He Fang replied with a smile.

"Wow, it turns out that all of this is in your plan. So what is Director He's expectation for the box office of "People on Journey?" Jing Wei asked.

"It's not very high, and we didn't expect to be the box office champion. If the box office can exceed 2000 million, it will be a success. After all, the cost is [-] million, and we still hope to have more than [-] million."

He Fang said calmly.

"Mr. Baoqiang, are you confident that the box office will exceed [-] million?" Jing Wei asked Wang Baoqiang.

"Of course there is no problem. I trust Director He and the quality of the movie."

"Okay, have you watched the movie yet?" Jing Wei asked Wang Baoqiang.

"At present, only Director He has watched it, we have not, but he said that he will give us a surprise tonight."

"Well, hopefully I'll see the surprise too."

……

Since the premiere was broadcast live by Sohu, there are already hundreds of thousands of viewers in the Sohu live broadcast room, and everyone is reading comments.

"Tsk, this is the first director who has the fastest film production in the mainland, right? Three films were released in more than a year, and four were actually filmed."

"Four movies were actually filmed? Where did the four movies come from?"

"He Fang filmed a film in Hollywood in June, have you forgotten? When "Single Zoo" was promoted in "Quick Book" last time, we still connected with He Fang who was filming in Hollywood. The male lead is Jason Statham, and the female lead is Jason Statham. The master is Fan Bingbing."

"Hiss, I suspect that He Fang is a cheater. Why is it so difficult for domestic directors to make a good film, and it takes a long time. A good film feels like it's easy to come by in He Fang. Isn't this cheating?"

"Hey, it is indeed, this is a hang-up."

"Could it be that you can't talk about other things besides talking about serious things? Didn't you find out that He Fang is a director who likes big D? Have you seen the cameo in this film? I feel that Huang Yi and Zhang Yuqi are not small."

"Damn it, don't say I haven't found it yet, let's count He Fang's movies in detail. The actresses are all not small."

"As expected of someone who has been in Hollywood, he just understands the audience and what the audience likes to watch."

"I just can't figure it out, why the audience obviously likes to watch big D actresses, but those directors don't know how to use them?"

"I heard that Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson, her manager suggested that she undergo breast reduction surgery, do you know why?"

"Ah? My God, this, this, this, waste of money, why shrink?"

"Because it's too big to be good for performance..."

"No, we don't want to watch the show, we want to watch the big..."

……

On the red carpet scene of the premiere, all the stars are stepping up to support "On the Journey", He Fang also thanked them one by one.

To be honest, he also has the support of "Single Zoo" and Huayi's call, otherwise, with the energy of an outside director who has never been in China, he can invite some stars to join him.

When it comes to Huayi, the stock has gone crazy this summer.

A "Single Zoo", a "Tangshan Earthquake", and "People on the Journey" also participated.

However, even if there is no appearance of He Fang, this period of time is also the highlight moment of Huayi's history.

... At this time, He Fang saw Lin Chiling who was being interviewed in a daze. Who invited her?How did she get here?

"Thank you, Ms. Lin Chiling, for coming to support me. You must be very busy recently, right?"

"Yes, but I am friends with Director He Fang, so I should come to support, and I must come. I am here to wish "People on Lost Journey" a big box office hit."

"..." He Fang smiled awkwardly, what the hell, who is your friend now?

It's just that before He Fang's embarrassment was over, Lin Chiling had already come over. This guy didn't follow the rules, and he came up with a hug.

At this moment, the reporter's camera was flashing 'click click', and He Fang wanted to push her away, but Lin Chiling quickly separated, seemingly just pointing politely.

"Director He, I wish your new movie a big hit at the box office."

"Thank you, thank you for your support, please come in." He Fang smiled far-fetchedly.

When Lin Chiling walked away, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Yi, Zhang Yuqi and others around him looked at He Fang strangely. He Fang didn't know what to explain.

"When did Director He have such a good relationship with Lin Chiling?" Zhang Yuqi asked.

"Would you believe me if I said that I only met him once and didn't speak more than ten words?"

"Oh, it turns out that someone is here to catch the heat, so Director He has to be careful about this kind of heat..." Zhang Yuqi stopped talking halfway.

Everyone knows it.

However, this is just a small episode, but people with a heart have slowly started to build momentum on the Internet.

"Lin Chi-ling cheers for the release of a good friend's movie"

"Lin Chiling bluntly said that he will invite He Fang to participate in this year's Golden Horse Horse Festival, and will invite him to eat Taipei snacks"

"'He Fang is the most talented Chinese filmmaker in my opinion', Lin Chiling is very confident in her good friend"

……

He Fang didn't know anything, and as a result, there were a lot of press releases about him and Lin Chiling all over the Internet. This is really amazing, and there are the freshest photos of him and Lin Chiling embracing to testify.

What the hell...

"He Fang and Lin Chiling, don't they deserve it? There is a 9-year age difference between them. He Fang likes the aunt type?"

"Probably not? He Fang is so young and so handsome. If you catch a lot of young people, how can you be with Lin Chiling?"

"Upstairs, what's wrong with Lin Chiling? Isn't she pretty? Isn't she feminine? I just think they are a good match."

"Yes, I also think they are very suitable, I support He Fang and Lin Chiling together..."

"I also support it. Although Lin Chiling is my goddess, if the goddess combines with a talented person like He Fang, I agree with both hands."

"Ah, ah, the story of a goddess and a genius..."

"...What's the situation? Why are there so many supporters of Lin Chiling and He Fang?"

……

However, this is not the point, the point is the premiere.

As soon as the red carpet was over, everyone entered the theater. As the host, He Fang was very busy, saying hello to the bosses.

This time there are no leaders, but the bosses of various companies.It doesn’t matter if it’s to support, to discuss cooperation, or to establish relationships with new forces in the industry.

"Mr. Li, hello, thank you for coming to join us."

"Mr. Wang, hello, thank you for coming to join us."

"Mr. Chang, hello, thank you for coming."

"Mr. Wu, hello, hello, thank you for coming to join us."

"Ah, Director Yang, I didn't expect you to come to the mainland."

"Mr. Yu, we meet again."

……

After more than ten minutes of greetings, the movie started.

Today, there are estimated to be hundreds of film critics and media people, and they are all gearing up. Usually, there is really no way for them to write good film reviews for domestic films, because each film has different opinions. Film critics also can't understand the past flaws. With such capable directors, why can't they make a movie without major flaws?

However, when film critics found out that He Fang had turned out, their work became more meaningful.

So as soon as the movie started, they started to pay attention, wanting to see what this road comedy movie was about.

What did you say?The plot of this movie doesn't need to be introduced much, you will definitely be scolded for spending too many words.

In short, I have to say that what Tian Hanyu did in the script is quite interesting, the most important thing is that he turned the characters into facial makeup.

This makes the character creation more realistic and purposeful.

People like Li Chenggong who are mean to employees, irresponsible to love, and cruel and disgusting to the class are deeply portrayed in the early stage.

Niu Geng is a fool who always insists on believing that there is true love in the world, and he is the one who changed Li Chenggong along the way.

In fact, the best thing Tian Hanyu did in this script is the growth arc of the characters.

Take Li Chenggong as an example, Li Chenggong at the beginning of the film is annoying to the audience, but at the end of the film, Li Chenggong allows the audience to see his change, that kind of more down-to-earth intimacy.

This is the characteristic of a good script. "People on the Journey" not only writes the arc of the characters, but also writes about the integration of classes, the current social situation, and everyone's suffering...

However, life happens to be like this. When you say it is sad, it happens to be a comedy.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Li Chenggong and Niu Geng sharing a bed, the audience laughed.

Seeing Li Chenggong mistakenly broke into a woman's room and was arrested for rape also made everyone laugh.

Anyway, the whole plot is to describe how unlucky it is to go back to Changsha, and then encounter the plane that can't land, the train can't drive, the car can't leave, and the ferry has luggage stolen.

Li Chenggong's way home was not only full of misfortunes, but also all kinds of people. At first he thought they were villains, but when he got to know him, he found that it was not what he imagined.

"Hiss, this script is well written." In the dark, the film critic Mao Jian couldn't help sighing.

"Not only is the script good, the film is smooth, and the photography is beautiful. You don't find that no matter what scene they are in, urban or rural, the picture is warm, and the picture and composition are very good. It's not the kind of dirty urban-rural interface. Mess. It shows that while the director is talking about the bad luck of the protagonists, he is using a beautiful background, and the bad luck looks very warm in such a beautiful environment."

The film critic Shuimuding next to him said.

"Well... the teacher said it well."

"It's not what I said was good, it's the director who shot it well."

……

The quality of the film is very high, the story line is simple, and the conflict is obvious, but it also shows the integration and tolerance under the conflict.

Coupled with He Fang's careful selection of scenes and careful lens selection, the movie screen has always used the kind of morning light red and energetic.Or, the energy of life under the setting sun makes people feel energetic and not dull.

This is what He Fang learned when he was studying as a director. The people in Hollywood told him that when you can't shoot beautiful scenery, you can shoot sunrise and sunset, or a lot of night scenes.

Because these three scenes are the easiest to use light colors, they can be shot beautifully.

If you can't find the angle of the camera, you can either use God's perspective to shoot down, or use a large perspective to create a strong contrast between the massive and small characters under the horizon.

Or use sports shots to create an immersive feeling for the audience.

In fact, the plot is too weak, and another way is to switch the camera angle to tell the story.For example, the angle of view in your lens has changed to that of a dog. How is the human story interpreted in the eyes of the dog?
Or become the perspective of objects, for example, your perspective is a leaf, what is the world like when it grows?What was the world like when it was in full bloom?What happened to the world when it was falling?

When it was picked up by a girl, what was the girl like?What is the girl's world like when it is clipped into the pages of the book?When it has gone through the years, and one day the girl turns into a woman and accidentally flips it, what is the world like?

Changing the perspective can enrich the plain plot.

Of course, there is another way, for example, when you want to create an atmosphere, you may use external objects.

For example, when you want to express romance or haze, use smoke cake to make your lens look foggy and fairy.

To express fear, use shadows in the dark... many ways.

In terms of composition, if you want to make the characters beautiful, you should take more shots of the side under the backlight...

Anyway, He Fang has used many methods to make the picture more beautiful in the movie "People on the Journey".

It can be said that He Fang has used everything he knows, so the movie picture has at least improved compared to "People on the Journey" in another time and space... I dare not brag about one level, but there is half a level.

With a good story, good characters and good photography, it's hard to go wrong with a movie like this.

The key is that this movie gives people a feeling: a warm comedy, with tears in the smile, warmth in the tears, and the true feelings in the world.

So as soon as the movie ended, the audience gave a standing ovation.

"Director He, it's done, it's done, I didn't expect the movie to be so good-looking." Wang Baoqiang sat beside him happily.

"Haha, thanks for your wonderful performance."
