China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 202 Everyone, I seem to have read this movie somewhere (Old irons, Dragon Boat Festival!)

Kazuki Sakuraba's preparations were completely useless, at least not in the movie theater.Because the movie theater is full of people, it is impossible to give them the possibility to use it.

Hiroshi Sakuraba is very curious, isn't this movie a plot that is obviously unfriendly to the island nation?Why aren't fans angry?Why do they want to come and see?

So he asked the young man sitting next to him.

"Hi, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Hi, may I ask?"

"Why did you come to see this movie?" Hiroshi Sakurazaka asked.

"Oh, don't you know? All the fans who came tonight are director He Fang's fans. Unfortunately, there are too few theaters for the midnight screening. I came from Iwamoto Town. I was lucky enough to get a ticket." The young man was excited. Said.

"Ah?" Sakurazaka Hiroshi finally understood why there are so many people, "Are there many movie fans in the island country?"

"Of course, he is the light of Asia. His films are not produced by other Asian directors, and he is the youngest award-winning director in Cannes and Venice. His films are full of our young people's plight and preferences. For example Speaking of his "Singles Zoo"..."

As soon as this young guy mentioned He Fang, he started talking endlessly, which shocked Hiroshi Sakurazaka a bit.

"No, no, don't you all feel that there may be scenes in his movies that are not good for the island nation?"

"Disgusting? Why are you disgusting? He is awakening the memory of the people of the island country. Who dropped the atomic bomb on us in reality? Who is occupying our land and colonizing us? Who is blocking our economy? Where is the movie wrong? Is this the way to make us remember this?"

The young man asked back.

"..." Hiroshi Sakurazaka's scalp felt numb when he heard it. He didn't expect young people to see He Fang and understand his movies in this way. This really changed his three views greatly.

When he still wanted to ask something, the movie started, and the young man immediately put on his glasses, so it was difficult for him to ask, so he had to put on his glasses and watch seriously.

After the movie started, with the presentation of 3D, Hiroshi Sakurazaka rarely saw the excitement and shouts of the young people in the island country, which he could not see normally. The young people in the island country are always depressed, but at this time They are very excited and very young.

Monsters, mechs, battles, humor... Unknowingly, Hiroshi Sakurazaka watched with relish and couldn't stop.

And he also watched the episode that was unfriendly to the island country. Combined with what the young man said before, he felt that it made sense. It is necessary to let the people of the island country remember certain things, which is not a bad thing.

After 135 minutes, Sakurazaka breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt that he was 20 years younger. Mechas, monsters, and battles were elements he liked when he was young. Now they are all in "Pacific Rim" Presented, and the connection is so smooth.

The key is that no one is the only hero here, all those who have contributed to fighting monsters are heroes, differences are put down here, and everyone starts to fight side by side.

"Wow, this movie is great, Sakurazaka-kun, I don't think you should hesitate, such a director will not bury your story." Kazuki Sakuraba said.

"Really? I have to think about it carefully." Hiroshi Sakurazaka nodded.

"So, where are we going next?" Sakuraba Kazuki asked.

"I'll take you home."

"No, I heard that there is a secluded place east of Sensoji Temple, maybe we can spend the night in the car."

"..." Hiroshi Sakurazaka thought about it, "Okay."

……

The next day, Yoda Sakurazaka received a call from Zhang Qian early in the morning. He was concerned, but he hadn't made up his mind yet. Although "Pacific Rim" had given him a certain amount of confidence, he still had a lot of trouble compared with the big Hollywood studios. gap.

Maybe talk to Warner twice more, and if they don't agree to raise the price, sell it to someone else.If he can make his "Reincarnation of Killing" as good as "Pacific Rim", then he will be satisfied.

"Hi, Mr. Zhang Qian, hello."

"Mr. Sakurazaka, hello. It's like this. Because there are too many things in my country, I bought a ticket to go back to China this evening. So, I want to confirm with you one last time. You still haven't considered it, okay?" Maybe after I go back, our company’s plan will change, and we will use another story. I just bought another story here, called "Gunmen", by Mr. Kishiro Yukito."

Sakurazaka Hiroshi was stunned for a moment, did the other party find a replacement plan?This made him a little flustered, who thought he could sit on the ground and raise the price.

However, if it is really impossible to sell to Warner, the price will be lower... No, the difference is hundreds of thousands of dollars, dollars, that can ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

"This, is it so urgent? Can't let me think about it again." Sakurazaka Hiroshi asked.

"No, the plan has changed because we have an alternate story and don't want to wait any longer. But out of courtesy, we ask you anyway, if you want to sell, then we will still keep our promise today, if you don't sell , then we have the opportunity to cooperate again next time." Zhang Qian said on the phone.

"Hiss...can you let me think about it?" Hiroshi Sakurazaka struggled.

"Of course, I'm on the plane at six o'clock in the evening. Before that, you can think about it. There's nothing I can do when I get on the plane." Zhang Qian said.

"Okay, then I'll give you an answer before three o'clock in the afternoon, do you think it's feasible?" Hiroshi Sakurasaka had to wait until three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Of course, I'll wait for your news." Zhang Qian replied, he didn't raise the price immediately, unless Hiroshi Sakurazaka's final reply disagreed, Zhang Qian would give the final price at the last moment.

While Hiroshi Sakurazaka was struggling and thinking, the production team of "Pacific Rim" was in full swing in the capital for publicity. It was said that the publicity was to allow a few Hollywood actors to experience the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in several business districts in the capital.

"Is this the Chinese New Year? Wow, it's more interesting than Christmas."

"It would be more interesting to go back to Hong Kong or Singapore. They have better preserved the traditional Chinese Spring Festival." Wu Jing explained, after all, he had been there for a while.

"Why do they keep it better? Isn't this of Chinese origin?"

"Uh..." Wu Jing was speechless suddenly, yes, how to answer this question?

……

Wherever He Fang and the others went, they were very excited, because this is China's first big sci-fi movie, and let all Chinese people know that we can make this kind of big movie ourselves, and we don't have to envy Hollywood.

This builds cultural confidence invisibly, instead of another time and space, Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters have been suppressed until the appearance of "The Wandering Earth" in 2019 to find confidence in the film.

It was also after the appearance of "The Wandering Earth" that Chinese people gradually became less interested in Hollywood blockbusters, less excited, and gradually felt tired of watching them, and felt that it was good to watch good Chinese movies.

This kind of feeling that people can't explain is the result of the gradual rise of cultural confidence. You can do what I can, so we can do it, so I don't have to worship you again and again.

When people start using home-made home appliances, they don’t feel inferior to foreign ones, when driving domestically-produced cars is no worse than joint venture or imported cars, when using domestic mobile phones, they don’t feel inferior to foreign ones, and when people feel that watching Chinese blockbuster movies is no worse than foreign ones When the time difference comes, our entire national self-confidence rises.

"It's really enjoyable to watch. I didn't expect that our domestic sci-fi blockbuster can be made like this. It's really amazing."

"The only thing I care about now is when the domestically produced weapons in the movie will be realized. I feel that He Fang's description of these weapons is not groundless, as if it has a basis."

"When you put it this way, I also have the same feeling, especially the appearance of the 20 fighters in it. Did he take the first flight when he took the photo? Shouldn't he have the first flight?"

"There was no first flight, and the first flight took place after the movie was filmed, that's for sure. In other words, he knew early on that there was such a fighter."

"If that's the case, wouldn't the aircraft carriers and warships there be... Hey, I dare not think, we will really have these in 2019?"

"I've watched it twice, and I think I can watch it ten times. It's really not the kind of movie that will get tired of watching it the second time. The story of He Fang's movie is really complete. If you watch it carefully You will find a lot of interesting details in his movies, anyway, I found a lot. Every time I watch it, I find something."

"Upstairs, what did you find?"

"Hey, I won't tell you guys, just find out by yourself. Because I'm afraid that speaking out about these things I found will cause disagreements and affect the box office of the movie. We finally made a good movie, and I don't want it to happen. .”

"Huh? So awesome? Then I'm going to watch it again."

"I can't buy tickets, boss, I can't buy tickets anymore..."

……

The score of "Pacific Rim" on Douban has also come out, 7.7 points. I don't know if this movie has the effect of automatically reducing one point for domestic movies.

"Amazing, I can only use these four words to describe it. The special effects of "Pacific Rim" are roughly the combination of "Transformers" + "Alice in Wonderland". I can't imagine that this is a movie made by us Chinese. The hopeless confidence that was shattered by "Avatar" was re-established, He Fang did what he promised, really awesome, a fan of He Fang in my life..."

"I watched the movie "Pacific Rim" with my mouth open. The CG special effects and emotional impact are like the three Transformers combined and multiplied by 10. Will you give up making a copy after watching it? It's such a high concept. Hard-to-realize sci-fi stories can only be qualified as commercial movies with vulgar and meaningless plots. The final decisive battle made me suffocate. After watching it, I want to sit on the ground with a mecha in my left hand and a monster in my right and play all day long... "

"Landlord, give me I can play for a whole year."

"It's not mechas and monsters that you've been playing with for a whole year, right? It's mechas..."

"Bar?"

"Ha ha……"

"Bad review, I watched it three times, and finally found the gap between "Pacific Rim" and Hollywood blockbusters. This is an absolute negative review. All Hollywood blockbusters will have a kiss at the end, but "Pacific Rim" does not , so bad reviews, absolutely bad reviews..."

"Lord, accepting your sister's kiss, this is also the reason for a bad review... But depending on how you rated five stars, I won't hit you, or I will go along the network cable and I will beat you to death." you."

"After watching "Pacific Rim", I always feel that I have read this movie somewhere, yes, I have read it. Everyone, see, unity and cooperation, have you read it? It seems that I read it in elementary school. There are always more ways than difficulties , and finally developed the ultimate battle armor to defeat monsters. Have you read it? On the battlefield, you have established a strong friendship with the enemy, and finally developed into a close comradely relationship. Do you feel like you read it somewhere? Also, I have to go see it again."

"I lost it. I found that the movie is great, but I'm even better in the comment section. There are so many talents. I even read a science movie."

……

It was night and the news started broadcasting.

"Recently, a film premiere event was held in Beijing. This is the first 3D large-scale science fiction film in my country produced by the young Chinese director He Fang. Its technical level has reached the top in the world. The enthusiasm of the people, among them our leadership..."

"Please read the detailed report below..."

"Ah, old He, old He, our son is really on the news..." Zeng Jinghua jumped up excitedly at home, and He Ben also smiled and lit a cigarette.

"Don't be rash, what are you talking about, don't embarrass our son, come, sit down and read it carefully."

"Ah, it's really on TV..."
