China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 119 Who the hell taught this?
He Fang wanted to go back to Changsha overnight, he was afraid, he was afraid that Qian Lin would play some tricks and promise something.

Anyway, if he was killed, he would never agree to such things as giving lectures.

However, he can't go back for the time being, because on the 19th, Huayi sent him an invitation to a film premiere, hoping that he could attend.

This, he really has to participate.

Because it was the premiere of "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", it received a lot of attention.

So Huayi hoped that he could go, it was a bit of a waste of face, not to mention that he happened to be in the capital, so it would be unreasonable not to go.

So Wu Jing went on a date on the night of the 17th, saying that he met a new host.

He Fang smiled, knowing that it was Xie Nan.

And He Fang didn't have time to make a few phone calls, only to find out that Liu Yan was in the capital, she had no role recently, and she didn't have a main task.

then……

He Fang and Liu Yan studied the luminous script in the hotel all night, and He Fang miraculously discovered that the Tai Chi he had practiced with Wu Jing for ten days was really effective.

At least my physical strength has improved, I am no longer out of breath, and I can pop dozens more times in a minute.

The frequency is higher and more durable, tsk, the effect of this internal boxing is really obvious.

He decided to keep practicing this martial art, and it was useful.

On the 18th of the next day, he was going to stay with Liu Yan for 24 hours. As a result, he had just finished studying the night light script in the morning, and he saw a video on the Internet. The video clips of He Fang's lectures at the Film Academy came out. A bit noisy.

Although the video quality is average, it can't stand the explosive content.

"...Don't rely too much on inspiration, because inspiration... I believe that some people will never have it several times in a lifetime. So, if our plays rely entirely on inspiration, then you may not be able to write many stories in your lifetime... "

"...A director is divided into two types in the eyes of many people, one is a commercial film director, and the other is an art film director. However, I personally think that no matter what kind of director you are, you must follow a principle , that is to tell a story that can be understood by the audience..."

"...There is no such thing in the world that you will be able to succeed in the position. If there is, then it has something to do with you..."

Probably someone cut out a small video similar to a trailer, and after it was posted on the Internet, it attracted many people to watch and discuss.

This video was picked up by a caring person, so He Fang saw it. Watching the discussions among netizens, he suddenly had an urge to continue to be a teacher.

So, he pulled Liu Yan.

"Look, this video, am I good? I can still be a teacher." He Fang said proudly.

"Amazing, amazing, you are amazing in everything." Liu Yan gave He Fang a white look.

"Everything is amazing?" He Fang glanced at Liu Yan.

"What are you watching? Do you have a CD for this lecture? Give me a copy later, and I will take a good class with Mr. He. It's terrible, the director of the Palme d'Or." Liu Yan said, shaking her soft hand.

"Ha, it's okay, it's okay. Practice your lines more when you have time, and find a line teacher." He Fang said something that disappointed Liu Yan.

"My Mandarin is not up to standard?"

"Of course not. It's because you lack rhythm and cadence when you speak your lines, and your pronunciation method is wrong. You use the oral cavity to vocalize, while the actors who have really practiced their lines use the chest cavity and head cavity resonance vocal method."

"The lines spoken in this way are full and powerful, and full of emotion. Even if you speak in a low voice, you can still hear clearly, and you will quickly enter the emotion."

He Fang found out that lectures are addictive, and he wanted to go to class after chatting with Liu Yan.

"Okay, Mr. He, you've asked me this question several times. I've already found a line teacher to practice, how fast is it?"

"Really? Then you try to combine the chest cavity with the head cavity."

"Uh, uh, you're going to die...you..."

……

On September 9, the premiere of "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" was held in the Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University. It was the first time for He Fang to come to this top two university in China.

However, he didn't like it, and the reasons were too complicated.

Because in another time and space, an entertainment novel he liked to read was asked to delete it because he slightly criticized the two schools in the first two...

forget it. I'm done here.

Peking University, very good.

He came to attend the premiere, not to talk about anything else.

He Fang met with the main creators of the film crew before the premiere ceremony, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

He Fang liked Tsui Hark the most, and he dragged Tsui Hark to chat for a long time.

"Director Xu, I really like your movies. I feel that your movies are the real expression of Chinese artistic conception. Your martial arts films are really artistic..."

He Fang was talking a lot, Tsui Hark was all smiles, who wouldn't like a director who won the Palme d'Or like himself who is also a director?

This feeling seems to be more powerful than taking the Palme d'Or, and there is an illusion of being above the Palme d'Or.

However, He Fang was right to praise Tsui Hark. He is the only one who made movies with the freehand brushwork and connotation in Chinese philosophy, whether it is the plot, the picture or the action of martial arts.

The heroes in his movies really have a kind of open-minded heroism of the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes in his movies give people a feeling of imaginary rivers and lakes.

The martial arts movements in his movies are always about agility and elegance, which contains the flavor of yin and yin, movement and stillness, internal and external contradictions and coexistence.

The pictures in his films are either smudged colors like ink paintings, or distorted and dreamy blurred colors.

The emotions of men and women in his movies are always heart-breaking and regretful for thousands of years, but they also have a romanticism that haunts dreams.

Tsui Hark is definitely the film master who best represents the artistic conception of Chinese culture. He can express the artistic conception of Chinese culture better than Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou's Chinese cultural art scene is too blunt, while Tsui Hark's is agile.

It was precisely because of this that He Fang was very excited when he pulled Tsui Hark.

"Ha, it's a pity that we Chinese don't have the right to speak about culture, otherwise you must be the best film master in filming Chinese culture." He Fang was still talking excitedly.

"Ah? Director He, I'm tempted to make a literary film after you say that, maybe I can win an award or something." Tsui Hark laughed.

"Haha, as long as Director Xu is willing to give up strong stories and spread your criticisms on human nature, society, love, ethics, rules, and religious philosophy, I believe your chances of winning the award are extremely high."

He Fang talked eloquently.

"Hiss, when you said that, I suddenly realized... So I didn't criticize enough."

"Yeah, so you have to criticize the bane that the British planted for Hong Kong, criticize Hong Kong's enslavement of the middle and lower classes in Hong Kong under the control of all means of production by the plutocrats, and the kneeling and licking of the British..."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Tsui Hark was really taken aback by this. What He Fang said was too harsh. He dared to criticize China, but he really didn't dare to criticize Britain.

While talking, He Fang took out a box of He Tianxia, ​​gave one to Tsui Hark, and then the two sat down next to each other, smoking and discussing.

Of course the discussion was about film technology, about criticizing Hong Kong and Britain Tsui Hark had given up his idea of ​​making a literary film.

The two old and new directors seem to be old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. Various discussions and mutual confirmation have attracted many actors and crew to surround them and listen to their bragging.

Fan Bingbing didn't know when he came, but he was excited when he heard it from the outside, and there was even a kind of pride in his eyes.

Li Bingbing gritted his teeth as he looked at Li Bingbing with a sense of pride of "the man I fancy is so talented".

But the red carpet ceremony will begin immediately, and the chat will end there.

"Director He, can you let me watch "Pacific Rim"?" Tsui Hark asked He Fang after getting up.

"Okay, when I was in Xi'an last time, senior Wu Tianming also said he would come. I warmly welcome you. You can communicate more when you have time. You should also guide me more."

"Look at what you said, do you still need our guidance?"

……

How about the movie "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire"?Absolutely a qualified commercial film.

other?Why do you want anything else?
To be honest, where does this movie look far inferior to Tsui Hark's other classic movies, but there is no need to be too demanding, who can guarantee that he will always be making classics?
When He Fang asked the host and reporters, he said a few beautiful words about "Di Renjie: The Heavenly Empire".

"This movie made me see another brilliance of Director Tsui Hark, that is the evil that often appears in Hong Kong movies, yes it is the evil evil, that is, all the characters are between good and evil, They are not purely good guys, but they are not purely bad guys either. Looking at classic Hong Kong movies, there are many movies that use evil, and they are all very classic."

""Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire" also has its own characteristics on this point. It is not about martial arts or reasoning, but because it rejuvenates the vitality of Hong Kong's evil films. The film fully possesses the characteristics of evil films, blending the "black Detective' 'Martial Arts', 'Detective'..."

If you come here, you just want to join us. If you don’t know how to join us, don’t come here.

He Fang's words suddenly made Tsui Hark and the entire Huayi's publicity team shine. They haven't figured out how to accurately push and promote this movie to the audience.

I have been promoting the combination of Andy Lau and Tsui Hark before, and then I said how beautiful Li Bingbing is in it, and then I can’t think of any good promotion points, because there is really no good promotion for the others, I didn’t expect to ask someone to give a comment Hit the nail on the head.

I didn't care about any of these. After attending the premiere of "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", I went back to Changsha with Wu Jing after drinking the wine at the thank-you banquet that night.

Along with Fan Bingbing, she is also going to participate in the script reading and how to drive and operate the mech for more than half a month.

On September 9th, the Hollywood actors were all in place. The various scenes had already been set up, the mechas were also ready, and the facial expression capture equipment and special effects modeling were all ready.

After half a month of running-in, Wu Tianming also rushed over with several young directors from Xiying Group to participate together.

He Fang arranged some work for them, such as letting Wu Tianming be the art director, and let a few young directors be the director's assistants and so on.

On October 10, "Pacific Rim" held its last all-crew meeting in the super large conference room inside the film and television center building of the newly built Huying Group Film and Television City.

As the chief executive producer, Zhang Qian must be the first to speak up.

"Everyone, the official launch will start the day after tomorrow, so there is still one day tomorrow to make final preparations for everyone. We have rehearsed what should be rehearsed, and we have found and given solutions to problems that should be found."

"Then, I hope that in the next three months, everyone will do things well according to the procedures and rules. At the same time, I hope that everyone will not cause trouble for the crew, and there will be illegal behaviors in life outside the crew. .”

"If there is, no matter whether you are a member of the Chinese team or the American team, we will hand you over to law enforcement agencies. However, when you encounter any difficulties, please remember to find the production team as soon as possible. As long as You have not violated the law or committed a crime, and we have helped you solve all the big things."

"So, whether you are good or me, building our working environment together can make everyone's cooperation happy, and we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Okay, I've finished my speech. Next, I would like to invite Director He to say a few words." Zhang Qian gestured to He Fang after speaking.

"I don't have much to say. As long as there are no major problems for everyone, we can complete the daily shooting plan step by step on time and with high quality. There is no difficulty, because what is difficult is that it needs to be shot over and over again."

"So, everyone, whether "Pacific Rim" can be made into a global hit movie depends on your support."

Clap clap clap clap clap loud applause.

On the evening of October 10th, the crew of "Pacific Rim" held a grand opening banquet in accordance with the Chinese custom. Although it was not a meal in a luxury hotel, they also invited powerful chefs from Changsha to the catering center of the film and television city of Huying Group. Hunan banquet.

At this time, after half a month of integration in the American team, some people have basically gotten used to Hunan cuisine. Those who can’t eat spicy food or have other eating habits will report in advance, and the chef has prepared the Western food they want to eat.

He Fang, Zhang Qian, Wu Tianming, Wu Jing, Hou Yong, Jason, Chris, Channing, John and other men who can drink, formed a large table. They were drinking liquor and chatting happily .

"Hey, hey, what, what are you doing, do you raise fish?" Jason spoke in Changsha dialect plus Mandarin, which made everyone laugh.

"I'll go, I even learned the Changsha dialect." He Fang scolded while laughing.

"Come on, see for sure, this time it's clean."

"No, no, no, I will be punished for a drink. Just now you kept the wine, don't argue. If you argue again, I will lose my temper."

"Pfft, what have you learned during this time? What else have you learned?" He Fang was about to collapse.

"Yes, yes, then what, that, pressure...you...Mom..."

"Stop, stop, stop, fuck, who the hell taught this?"

He Fang roared, but everyone laughed miserably, leaving Jason with a dazed face...
