China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 164
"So, director He Fang, what is the difference between your "Scorching Sun" and "Single Zoo"? Can you tell everyone?" The host is still professional.

"The difference is obvious. One is a futuristic story based on basic phenomena, and the other is a realistic story expressed objectively based on events. So the biggest difference is in time and space. The difference in time and space will lead to the point of expression of the two films. It will be completely different from the content.”

""Single Zoo" needs to be as imaginative as possible, but "Scorching Sun" has to be as real as possible. The difference between imagination and reality is the biggest difference between these two films, which makes "Single Zoo" full of absurd freehand brushwork, while "Scorching Sun" Burning Heart is realistic and stinging, imagination is romantic, even imagined bloody things are not thorny, but reality is dry, even romantic stories always have some tragic endings behind them."

After He Fang finished speaking, there was warm applause at the scene. His explanation was really good, and it touched the hearts of many people in the audience.

"Wow, I take back what I said earlier. Now I think artistic directors are really attractive, just like your face."

"However, the more beautiful a person is, the more unacceptable it is to do bad things. So, director He Fang, what do you think "Scorching Sun" is discussing?" The host asked more and more deeply.

He Fang knew that someone would ask him this question, so he smiled and nodded.

"Explore human nature, good and evil, law and emotion."

"..." The host was still expecting He Fang to continue, but it was gone, so the host spread his hands.

"No more?" the host asked.

"Yes, it's gone. The content of a movie is limited, and it is impossible to discuss many contents. Some movies will only discuss one theme, but "Scorching Sun" has said enough."

"Then can you specifically talk about how you explore human nature, good and evil, law and love in the film?" the host asked.

"It's very simple. The three criminals in the film did evil, but they accumulated goodness in the later days. Are they good people or evil people?"

He Fang said the first content.

"As an ordinary person, what do you do when you are faced with beauty? What do you do when faced with the temptation of fame and fortune? What do you do when you face the choice of life and death? So, from the perspective of human nature, the movie Many of them struggle with humanity."

"The law and love are Yi Guchun in the film. From the beginning, he admired Xin Xiaofeng and wanted to take him as his apprentice. In the end, his sister fell in love with one of the criminals. But in this legal and personal relationship, how should I choose?" ? Is the relationship important or the law important?"

In fact, even if He Fang didn't say these three answers, the veterans who are very deep in film research at the scene can actually see them all.

"Hmm, sure enough, they are all hiding their own thoughts. Then, director He Fang, how did you make the three actors perform so well without losing each other's weight? I saw the three of you from this What a great performance." asked the host.

"The main thing is the distribution of the scenes. Unfortunately, the time is too short, otherwise I can let more characters shine in it." He Fang replied.

"So are you satisfied with the movie?"

"Basically satisfied, I have everything I want to express."

"Is there any dissatisfaction?" The host asked this question a bit abruptly. Could it be that the director would reveal his shortcomings on this occasion?
"Yes, that's because the time is too short, and there are many things that could have been dug deeper, but I can't dig deeper. Also, I am also an ordinary person, so I really hope that the three of them can have a good ending. But, I also a director."

"Okay, one last question, are you satisfied with your performance?" the host asked.

"Of course, I admit that my performance in the movie is at the actor's level, but I'm still not satisfied." He Fang spread his hands after speaking.

Then the audience in the audience laughed, how can they praise themselves like this.

"Oh, where is the dissatisfaction?" The host held back a smile.

"Of course it's the image. I'm so handsome, but in the movie I'm very sloppy and cautious. I'm very dissatisfied with this." He laughed.

"Then why don't you play the role of Xin Xiaofeng, or Gu Chun?"

"Because the two of them are more suitable than me, and their acting skills are better than mine, and they don't need to be distracted by being both an actor and a director like me." He Fang said.

"Well, are you canvassing for yourself?"

"Of course not." With He Fang's expression on his face, everyone had already seen his intentions, and then everyone smiled knowingly.

"Okay, um..." The host picked up the card in his hand and looked at it, "Deng Chao? Ah, Deng, do you agree with what you said?"

The host asked Deng Chao.

"Of course I don't agree. I didn't expect that the canvassing for the actor has already started from our director himself. This made me feel a lot of pressure, but I have to vote. I think Director He Fang's performance is better than the two of us. He deserves to be the best actor, he is too humble."

Everyone thought that Deng Chao was going to snatch the tickets, but who knew where the last backhand flattery would end up here.

"Haha..." He Fang was happy, and patted Deng Chao on the shoulder, "You don't need to canvass for me..."

"No, Director He, people like me and Lao Duan don't need canvassing, they are movie kings, and you, who are almost interested, need canvassing."

"..." He Fang was stunned, at first he thought that Deng Chao was flattering him, but who knew that at the end a black tiger punched his heart out.

"Ha ha……"

Then the host asked some questions from several actors, and then some questions from media reporters.

In fact, the questions asked are similar to those asked by the host, except for a few questions asked by the media in China, Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan that are beyond the scope of movies, the others are similar.

"Director He Fang, I'm a reporter from the Taiwan Provincial United Daily News. Yesterday you said that you would support Wei Desheng's film. Public opinion in Taiwan said that you wanted to infiltrate the cultural market in Taiwan. How do you view this issue?"

"..." He Fang muttered and shook his head, "I don't know how many films that Taiwan province has invested in and filmed in the mainland, and I don't know how many actors from Taiwan province have developed in the mainland. How do you say this?"

"Is Taiwan Province infiltrating the mainland's cultural market? Is the mainland going to boycott it? Don't be so narrow-minded. What I do is to really appreciate director Wei Desheng and really want to help the development of Chinese films. How can anyone have such an idea?"

He Fang's answer was very complex, and the high-level strategy made the reporter of the United Daily News speechless.

It cannot be said that we are only allowed to enter your market, but you cannot enter our market, right?

It's like only allowing us to sell agricultural products to you, but not allowing your products to enter us.

Do you really think people are fools?Of course, I don't look at the circumstances under which such a thing was done.

"Director He Fang, I am a reporter from Hong Kong Ming Pao. We noticed that none of your films use Hong Kong crews and actors. Why is that?"

"Oh, this is not a problem. It's not that I don't want to use the Hong Kong team. There are two main reasons. One is that I am not familiar with the Hong Kong team, and I hardly know people in the Hong Kong circle. I have to speak English to them during the filming, right? It’s too embarrassing for the same Chinese to communicate in a third language. Even if I personally can bear it, but what about the other mainlanders in the crew? They don’t understand Cantonese or Cantonese English, how to communicate?"

"Actually, I really want to work with Hong Kong teams. For example, I want to work with directors Wong Jing, Tsui Hark, and directors like To Qifeng. I hope they will come to the mainland to make more good movies."

"They are very capable. When you come to the mainland, don't make low-cost, fast-produced movies in Hong Kong. When you come to the mainland, as long as the script is good and the production is serious, don't fool us. I can invest, and they can make whatever they want. "

"So, I very much hope to cooperate with filmmakers from the Mainland, Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan. Don't make me so small. I didn't cooperate before because I didn't have the opportunity and I didn't know each other."

"The mainland needs a market, a market, and funds. Although there are not many top-level talents, there are talents from the mainland, Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan. Therefore, there is a lot to do in the mainland. I represent Huying Group and Changsha Tuanhuo Culture Everyone is welcome to cooperate. The premise is that everyone should not play tricks and play tricks, and just shoot well."

He Fang's words immediately made Chinese moviegoers admire him, He Fang is really great, with a very high profile.

"What do you mean by playing tricks and tricks?" the reporter asked.

"It's just bringing in private goods, such as engaging in regional discrimination, such as engaging in factions, such as being greedy for ink production costs, such as fooling mainland filmmakers like fools, etc. I hate people who carry private goods the most. Those who will not share the sky!"

He Fang said the righteous words.

……

After the premiere of the film, "Scorching Sun" won the approval of many people.But when it comes to winning the award, many people have doubts. After all, compared with the award-winning film, "Scorching Sun" has a too complete story and a too fast pace.

There is no long shot, no criticism of politics, and no show of backward or problematic oriental society. To put it bluntly, there is no criticism of the system, culture, and society...

The audiovisual characteristics of literary films are not strong, the authors of literary films are not rich in expression, and the criticism of literary films is not in place. It is estimated that it will be difficult for such films to win awards.

This is a very strange thing. Everyone who has watched it thinks it is a good movie, but when asked whether the movie can win an award, they all groan, feeling a bit worse.

After the premiere, He Fang and the others also started to get busy. After all, many media have made appointments for interviews.

The first exclusive interview that director He Fang accepted alone was still from "Cinema Handbook". hand interview.

It was still Nuel Bourdo, he and He Fang were sitting in the media room officially prepared by the Venice Film Festival. This is an elegant small room of about [-] square meters, which is full of lights and photography equipment.

He Fang and Nuel Bourdo sat on both sides.

"He, is your new film a protest against the death penalty and no indulgences? After all, if there is no death penalty and there are indulgences, three redeemers will be forgiven, right?"

He Fang was stunned when Nuel Bourdo's words came up with a big definition.

He must answer this question carefully. If he admits yes according to Nuel Bourdo's statement, then he is likely to win the Golden Lion Award.

However, taking the Golden Lion Gold has brought an unwarranted charge to the country, and put a backward criticism on our culture.

How to choose?

This is a simple but difficult decision. If He Fang can win the Palme d'Or and the Golden Lion, he will really become a monument. He can win the two highest awards in the three major film festivals in a row and is the youngest Director, how tempting is this?

He Fang imagined, if it was Chief Jia, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai and others, how would they choose?
