China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 149 Let the annual carnival of Hollywood filmmakers begin
He Ben, who was watching the award presentation with his wife at home, also shouted excitedly at home, and Zeng Jinghua even burst into tears of excitement.

Just watching their son narcissistically teasing on stage, the two laughed angrily.

"Look at you, look at you, this son was taught badly by you. Didn't this glib person learn from you? He's still making a fool of himself internationally."

Zeng Jinghua immediately scolded He Ben angrily, and He Ben spread his hands out with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Isn't he praising us? It proves that our two sons are born well."

"Bah, you're still following the narcissism..."

At this moment, He Ben's cell phone rang, and it was Secretary Gu Yang's.

"Hush, answer the phone, it's from Secretary Gu."

He Ben said as he picked up his phone and pressed the answer button, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Hello, Secretary Gu."

"Old He, congratulations on giving birth to a good son and winning a big prize."

"Ah, thank you, He Fang should be congratulating, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Didn't He Fang say it? The son born to you two is so good, it puts pressure on him, haha, this kid..."

"..." He Ben went numb, it seemed that the whole country knew this joke.

"..." Zeng Jinghua also heard it, she clenched her teeth and waved her fist in the direction of the TV.

……

Except for He Ben and his wife who were watching the award ceremony in front of the computer, of course everyone related to He Fang was paying attention.

For example, Yan Ran, she was watching Oscar in the dormitory, and now she feels that she is a member of He Fang's team, because everyone now labels her as a 'Fang girl', so now she is a bit of a shared weal and woe with He Fang mean.

"Oh, Miss Fang, your family has won the Oscar, which is a record. Do you need a treat?" the roommates teased.

Yan Ran suddenly became shy, "Where is my family, don't make jokes about this, okay, it will be misunderstood. I'm just a new actor who hasn't officially cooperated with him yet, don't talk nonsense."

"Tsk tsk tsk, we're starting to maintain it, okay, okay, it's not yours, it's mine, okay? So, Miss Yanran, when will you introduce me to my family's He Fang? Sister, I have studied it for a long time. For island movies, I promise to satisfy him..."

"Bah, you stinky female hooligan, don't worry about it, you won't have a chance..."

……

"Zhilin, I invite you to act. Director He Fang is really good. You have to act well. Maybe he will help you like Zhang Yimou did to Gong Li. This He Fang is still young, and he has achieved such achievements now. Get along well with him." relationship, I will not worry about being in the film and television industry for the next few decades."

In a certain villa in Shanghai, Pan Zhilin, who had something to do back home, was watching Oscar in front of the computer at home, and her mother was sitting next to her and talking to her.

"Oh, mom, don't talk about utilitarianism, okay? As long as we perform well, we will definitely cooperate in the future. If we go with utilitarianism, we may not be able to cooperate in the future." Pan Zhilin said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say, anyway, if we cooperate, we can act well." Mother Pan was also helpless.

……

There are a lot of people in China discussing who will win the award, and the Oscar awards are still going on.

He Fang also took the statuette and walked to the middle of the seat, hugged the three of them, and then sat down.

"Director He, let me touch this Oscar statuette." Wang Zhonglei said in a low voice.

"Hey, it's still a little heavy." He Fang gave the statuette to Wang Zhonglei.

After Wang Zhonglei touched it, Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing also played with it for a while before returning to He Fang's hands.

Next, the three watched the awards after the Oscars with great interest. The biggest winner tonight was "The King's Speech", with 12 nominations and 4 of the most important awards.

They are Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.

The entire awards ceremony lasted 160 minutes, two hours and four 10 minutes, starting at eight o'clock in the evening and continuing until almost eleven o'clock.

After the awards ceremony was over, and there was a group interview, He Fang took a group photo with the trophy, and then they were interviewed together.

Of course, most of the questions were asked about "The King's Speech", as well as popular movies such as "Black Swan" and "The Social Network".

There were only three opportunities to ask questions about "Single Zoo". In the end, "Hollywood Film Report" and the domestic Sohu and Tencent asked He Fang three questions.

The question from "Hollywood Film Report" is very simple. They asked He Fang how he felt after winning the award, and the plan for the next award-winning film, whether he has any plans to develop in Hollywood, and as the youngest director tonight, what advice do you have for young directors? advice.

Faced with such a question, the answer is very simple, and He Fang answered it this way.

"It must be very exciting and exciting to win the award. After all, it is not easy to win the Oscar. The next award-winning film will be filmed after I go back after the Oscars are awarded. I have come to Hollywood to develop. , but I have a plan to come over to make films occasionally, and I will shoot a low-budget cult film in Hollywood in June."

"I don't have many suggestions for young directors, just two sentences, one is to polish your script well and make it very good, this is the beginning of your opportunity. Second, to hone your directing skills well, don't Acting on the surface when your skill level is not enough will only waste the few opportunities you have, and finally disappoint you in the industry. Therefore, the first opportunity to be a director is very important.”

"As far as these two points are concerned, if these two points are done well, I believe that the journey of ordinary new directors will be a good start."

He Fang's words made hundreds of reporters on the scene nod silently, and even other filmmakers who participated in the press conference also looked at this unfamiliar He Fang with admiration.

"He Fang, I'm a reporter from Sohu News. First of all, congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Please, what do you want to say to the domestic audience? And the domestic filmmakers. I heard you didn't sleep well last night. I feel that I have been concerned about the development of domestic film newcomers, why are you so concerned about film newcomers?"

He Fang smiled helplessly.

"I didn't expect this. My small actions are known in China. In fact, you don't need to exaggerate this matter. I really care about the development of newcomers. That's because because of the Oscars these days, American filmmakers have gathered in Here, I see the actors of the younger generation in Hollywood, and I am very envious."

"They are only seventeen or eighteen years old, or even in their twenties, and they are all famous all over the world. Each of them has produced one or two or three masterpieces of their own. But our newcomers are always looking for opportunities , I just don’t know how old they will be when the opportunity is assigned to them, maybe they will be in their thirties?”

"That's why I got this feeling. I hope that the young actors in my new movie will lay a solid foundation. Although there are few opportunities in our country, when the opportunity comes, they will use their excellent acting skills to seize the opportunity, and then Soar."

"As for domestic audiences, I don't have much to say. Thank them and thank them for supporting my films. In fact, whether they like me or not, criticize or not, as long as they go to the cinema to watch the film and then criticize, I welcome it."

He Fang nodded after finishing speaking.

"Is there anything else you want to say to domestic filmmakers?" Sohu reporter added.

"Let's work hard together, reduce internal conflicts, strengthen your business capabilities, and then make more good movies. Our market is developing, and everyone has a lot of opportunities. As long as business skills pass the test and more good movies are made, everyone will achieved good results.”

"Okay, thank you Director He Fang." The Sohu reporter nodded in satisfaction.

"Director He Fang, hello, I am a reporter from Tencent News. Today in China, because you care about domestic new actors and broke the domestic record, you won the Oscar. Now the Internet calls you 'Successor He Fang'. What do you think of this? matter?"

"Ah?" He Fang was immediately surprised, this is so... so ridiculous... No, there must be someone with ulterior motives, right?

Seeing He Fang's face turned pale with shock, the reporter was very surprised. He Fang didn't like this title?

"I declare here that I will never accept this title. Because it is an extremely sacred title, I cannot bear it."

"First, I don't have a strong ability to lead the industry or the country to change anything. Second, my personal morality has not reached the height it should be. Third, I have selfish desires. Once I bear this name, I will Any selfish desire will disappoint everyone, because I can't be as perfect as everyone wants."

He Fang waved his hands again and again.

"Selfish desires? What selfish desires do you think you have?" the reporter asked.

"Money, I also love money. With such selfish desires, everyone will say, 'Why is this successor always making money for himself'? And love, if I fall in love with someone in the future and break up, wouldn't it be Will be scolded 'This successor can't even be loyal to love, how can he be loyal to the country'? Wait, I have many selfish desires of one kind or another, I can't be a 'successor', I declare here, I will strictly reject someone who will do this in the future call me."

"If everyone really likes me, I'd rather everyone give me a normal, down-to-earth nickname. I'm here to thank everyone, don't hurt me."

……

When He Fang finished the interview, the collective interview of the entire award-winning staff was almost over, and the other reporters asked a few more questions and it officially ended.

As soon as the host announced the end, He Fang also hurried out of the Kodak Theater, took the hamburger and hot coffee brought by Yang Tianzhen outside, and ate it, he was really hungry.

At this time, a middle-aged white man came over.

"Director He Fang, hello, I'm Ian Canning, the producer of "The King's Speech". On behalf of our crew, I invite people from your crew to our celebration party later. I wonder if you are interested?" Ian asked with a smile.

"Wow, of course. When? Where? However, we have to go to the reception of "Vanity Fair" for a cutscene, and we can go to your place later." He Fang nodded with a smile.

"Ha, of course, everyone understands this. We will start at [-]:[-], the address is... I will write to you, and my phone number, call me when you come."

……

Next is the carnival of filmmakers. The filmmakers and stars who have worked hard for a year and won the trophy, and then just showed their faces in front of the global audience are excited at the moment.

They can't wait to have a carnival, they need alcohol, sweet talk, and the opposite sex... Of course, it would be better if there is something more exciting.

He Fang ate the hamburger, drank the last sip of coffee, and threw the trash into the trash can.

At this time, Wang Zhonglei handed over a cigarette and lit it.

Hiss, cool!
"Let's go, let's go to the carnival with them, and let's experience what the annual carnival in Hollywood is like. It's rare to see, and ordinary people can't get in. I wanted to go in back then, but it's a pity that I bought it. The invitation letter costs [-] US dollars, I'm not willing to buy it..."

He Fang started to gossip.

"A $10 invitation letter? What? The Oscar red carpet or the awards ceremony?" Fan Bingbing asked curiously.

"What, who will spend money on the red carpet and awards ceremony? Of course, it is the "Vanity Fair" party reception. It is the best place for many newcomers to find opportunities to make their debut. You can meet the world's most famous directors, the most famous Producer, the most popular star, if you cooperate with one, then you will be prosperous."

"Hey, isn't our invitation tonight equivalent to 40 US dollars?"

"Yes, but let me tell you two ladies, there will be a lot of liars mixed in there, they will lie to you that there are some good projects, and then take you to another place to chat...you know... ..."

"It's not bad. What I'm most afraid of is that people not only cheat sex but also cheat money. They have even been blackmailed since then. The key is to fear that those who drink too much, afraid that you will expose them, they will inject you with something , or shoot directly. So, you can chat, you can meet people, but if you have never heard of it, don’t just promise anything..."

"So dangerous?" Even Wang Zhonglei was shocked.

"Hey, is it scaremongering, you will know if you go and find out."

……

Just like that, the other people who were originally enthusiastic, now became cautious.They can't decide whether He Fang is scaring them or if it is real, but be careful.

In this way, a few people walked along the Sunset Boulevard towards the Sunset Tower Hotel. It was not so hypocritical to take a taxi, after all, it was not far away.

　Happy Children's Day to all veterans!
