China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 209 Playing Chess in France

He Fang was relieved when the Spring Festival file rushed up, at least his modified "Pacific Rim" didn't have any hips, and it wasn't inferior to the original, only better than the original.

The original film also earned 7 million domestic box office, which was the box office of 30 days of release, and now "Pacific Rim" has a domestic box office of 7.07 million after its [-]-day release.

So he improved, not worse.

There is nothing to say about the publicity in London. The attitude of the ground operator is very perfunctory, but they don’t care about where. This is an attitude. The attitude towards European audiences proves that they have not taken European audiences seriously. At least they came.

Of course, the audience who came to support them were mainly Chinese and foreign students. To Fang He, "Pacific Rim" was just a movie, but to the Chinese and foreign students, it was a part of their pride.

At the end of the last event in the afternoon, He Fang was suddenly stopped by a question from the BBC.

"Director He Fang, you once analyzed Hong Kong's problems when you were doing promotion in Hong Kong. You artificially thought that the British were causing trouble. Didn't it become worse because of the reunification? Why do you think that the British are making trouble behind it? "

He Fang was stunned for a moment, "After the 90s, countries and regions such as Russia, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Afghanistan, and Iraq all accepted Western democratic methods. Now, if we look at them now and compare the economy and people's livelihood with before, they have become Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?"

"After they adopted democratic politics, which country does not have an opposition party supported by you? Which country's policies that benefit the country and the people can be implemented smoothly? All of them are caught in the internal party struggles of each country."

"There were two dynasties in China, one called the Song Dynasty and the other called the Ming Dynasty. These two dynasties were very powerful in terms of economy and technology, but they both perished in the end. They both perished on the same thing, that is, party disputes .When one day the UK is also caught in a party struggle, you can feel the harm caused by the opposition parties you support in these countries and regions."

He Fang turned around and left after answering one sentence. There is no need to talk about these topics with the BBC. What they are best at is taking out of context, using filters, and then spreading rumors to smear.

But you ignore them, they are like a rambunctious dog around you, really annoying.

"Director He, that's a good point. You don't know what you're pretending to do in your head, and you can make sense of everything. Our kind of reading rarely only thinks about force to solve it." Wu Jing followed behind and took a picture. Take a picture of where.

He Fang smiled bitterly: "Brother Jing, you have also seen this round of global propaganda running down. In fact, everyone is really full of malice towards us. Why is this? Isn't it just to want China to go back to a hundred years ago and become their colony?" , or at least become a semi-colony like Japan and South Korea, so that they can plunder us at will."

"Western civilizations are all lies and a cover for the whole world. They just changed their way to colonize and plunder. Therefore, our image abroad is portrayed by them as demons. In our Internally, they have cultivated thousands of leading parties, all of whom have one purpose, let us go back to a hundred years ago when they were at their mercy and plunder."

"At this time, personal force really can't solve the problem, unless it surpasses Bruce Lee. The only way now is to make ourselves strong, and then find a rough road under their siege, and then turn this rough road into sunshine Avenue."

"Come on, maybe one day your movie will be sold all over the world, and then even Western audiences will shout for you, become your diehard loyalists, and fight their media for you, we will really slap them in the face .”

He Fang talked as he walked, and Wu Jing nodded after finishing speaking, only regretting that he did not have the talent of He Fang to make a global blockbuster movie.

……

That night they left London by plane and went to Paris, which is the capital of romance, at least that's what the domestic media and magazines kept promoting.

The French people who are talking about are very romantic, saying that the French don't get married, they only talk about love.Then they are very bold in expressing love, and they are also very good at pleasing the other half.Therefore, the French are the most romantic.

This made Fan Bingbing stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel wrapped in a bath towel and look forward to it. As a woman, who doesn't yearn for that kind of romance?

Especially as the end of this global promotional tour, she really wanted to stay here for a day and feel the romance here.

"If you don't sleep, what are you thinking about? Enjoying the night view?"

He Fang turned off the computer and was about to go to bed. He asked Fan Bingbing.

"No, I want the romance of the French. As a woman, I am very envious." Fan Bingbing turned his head to look at He Fang with the rippling water in his eyes, which made He Fang understand immediately.

He Fang patted his forehead, "Do you know why the French don't like to get married?"

"Why?" Fan Bingbing asked back.

"Because the price of their divorce is too high, not only in France, but also in the whole of the West. Because the price of divorce is too high, many French people don't like to get married. It's not a lie that they only talk about love and not marriage. .” He Fang explained.

"What kind of weird truth is this, I don't believe it..." Fan Bingbing shook his head.

He Fang shrugged, "Then let me tell you about the price of divorce in France. First of all, after the divorce, not only the common property between the two during the marriage should be divided equally, but also the value-added part in the future, including pensions. You also have to divide."

"Of course, this is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that as long as the woman says she wants to raise the child, the judge will award the child to the woman unconditionally. Then... the man not only has to pay hundreds of euros in child support every month, but also Take three-sevenths of your salary as alimony to your ex-wife until the ex-wife remarries. Some women never remarry until they die, and the poor ones are always supported by their ex-husbands.”

Fan Bingbing opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this, and He Fang laughed at this moment.

"So, the French don't like to get married, because the price of divorce is too high. Of course, some people may say that it's over if you don't divorce? Marriage is for divorce."

"The point is that most of the reasons for the divorce are proposed by the woman, because women like to play cheating, and they will divorce after the cheating, and even though the marriage is broken by the woman first, the judge still has to judge the man to bear the price after the divorce." He Fang continued to explain.

"Of course, this alimony law is common in most other western countries. For example, in the United States, one of the fundamental reasons why many homeless people in the United States become homeless is that they are divorced, their property is divided, and then I still have to pay my ex-wife alimony every month, and in the end I couldn't stand it anymore and went bankrupt, and finally became a homeless man."

"The French are romantic because women love to cheat, but men dare not divorce, so everyone cheats, and it depends on who confesses the most. Of course, what I said is a bit exaggerated, but this is roughly what I mean. So, you still envy ?"

He Fang took Fan Bingbing's wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then picked her up and walked to the bed.

"Envy, even if you are coaxed for a day." Fan Bingbing said.

"Look, why do French women like to cheat? It's because they can't bear not being coaxed by a man for a day. After getting used to being coaxed, what do you think will happen when there is no man to coax? At this time, when another man suddenly comes over When coaxed, they cheat. So once you get addicted to being coaxed by men, it’s like French women.”

"... Bah, heresy..."

……

In fact, French filmmakers are quite concerned about He Fang's promotion in Paris, after all, He Fang is the winner of the Palme d'Or.

The final step of the "Pacific Rim" production team's publicity in Paris is to hold a film reception. In fact, this reception is to entertain French and European filmmakers, and another function is to thank the main creators for accompanying the production team during this period of global promotion. It is really hard work They are gone, this is also a thank you and farewell reception.

The reception attracted many European filmmakers. He Fang not only won the Cannes Film Festival, but also the Venice Award. He is now a world-renowned commercial director, and his reputation is not limited to the literary circle.

Luc Besson of the French company Europa still wants to talk about cooperation with He Fang. He Fang, a major commercial film director in Europe, actually admires him quite a lot.

He still made a lot of good movies, such as "This Killer Is Not So Cold", "The Fifth Element", "Taken", and "Deadly Delan" are all his masterpieces.

But what about cooperation?

"I have a few sci-fi stories, maybe we can cooperate. I heard that your parent company's special effects production is very good and the cost is low. Maybe we can cooperate to develop the global market. What do you think?"

"Hmm, of course, we welcome all those who are sincere to cooperate. Besides, I haven't seen European movies in Eastern cinemas for a long, long time. Maybe French sci-fi blockbusters also have a special flavor, don't they?"

"That's right, you're right." Facing He Fang's overtures, Luc Besson immediately understood.

If you ask where is the way out for European films?There is no way out for a long time. How many European movies are famous all over the world in a year?almost none.

Maybe there will be some movies transferred between the French-speaking area and the Spanish-speaking area, but no one in other countries will watch them after leaving these old language areas.

Therefore, European films can only go to two extremes, one is literary films, and the other is erotic films.But it is only a niche, and it is difficult to spread it to the whole world on a large scale.

The cultural hegemony of the United States not only dominates other non-ally countries, but also harvests its allies indiscriminately.

Therefore, instead of China challenging the American cultural hegemony in the future, why not bring some of its allies together?
Idle is also idle, let's play chess next, whether it is useful or not, it doesn't matter anyway.

"Then, in China, I welcome you to come and discuss cooperation, and even European directors are welcome to come and discuss cooperation."

The chairman of Cannes, Jacob, was asking when He Fang would make another literary film to participate in Cannes. As such a young and artistically talented director, he couldn't waste his artistic talent.

For this question, He Fang shrugged. After all, it is not so easy to avoid censorship and have profound and artistic value, so it has to be slow.

Everyone talked freely at this party, and they were enthusiastic about the discussion of movies.

When the reception was coming to the end, He Fang raised his glass and made a concluding speech.

"Thank you for attending this party today, which has deepened my friendship with you and learned more about film knowledge. Of course, I have also reached some intentions for film cooperation. At the same time, I also welcome European filmmakers when they are free. In order to go to China and talk about creation and cooperation with Chinese filmmakers, communication can make progress, I hope you can communicate more.”

"Of course, today's reception has another purpose, and that is to thank the main creators of "Pacific Rim", who have been promoting the world with me for more than ten consecutive days, and have never been tired. Thank you, thank you. It is because of your hard work that we have achieved what we are today. Thousands of words form a thank you. As of today, the main promotion of "Pacific Rim" is over. I hope we can work together next time, "Pacific Rim" 2" won't wait too long."

As soon as He Fang finished his speech, everyone gave a round of applause.

"Okay, let's finish this glass of wine and look forward to working together again next time. Thank you, thank you."

……

The promotional work of "Pacific Rim" is over, but the box office continues to hit new heights, but it is not over.

The promotion of "Pacific Rim" is over, and there are many things waiting to be done in the new year, and they are not small things.

　There will be another update at 22:[-] in the evening, and the monthly ticket will be added for five consecutive days at the end of the month!
