China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 235 How did Feng Xiaogang misrepresent this?
"If it's [-] points, I'll give her [-] points." He Fang said.

"Huh? Full marks? Excellent enough to be in the most perfect state?" Jing Wei asked.

"Of course it doesn't mean that. What I mean is that as a student at school, it's already a perfect score for her to be a female lead in a big movie. So, I'm very satisfied with this new actor." He Fang was not afraid of causing trouble for Yan Ran, so he touted it to the end.

"Aren't you afraid that saying this will bring pressure to Yan Ran?" Jing Wei asked.

"What is there to worry about? If she can't handle it, then don't mix it up in the entertainment industry. Who in the entertainment industry has no pressure? Does Fan Bingbing have it? There is a lot of black material, even if it is what everyone calls Didn’t Liu Yifei, the fairy sister, have to go to CCTV to clarify? This circle is like this, the sooner she goes through this, the better it is for her, it’s not a bad thing.”

He Fang said indifferently.

"Well, it's really not easy to be your Fang girl. You have to take the initiative to let others bear the pressure when you come up." Jing Wei also shook his head and smiled.

"Teacher Deng Chao, I personally think that you, Monkey King, played a very good role. May I ask how you let yourself grasp the role?" Jingwei asked.

"Me? There is no special method, just one, learn from various masters, and then think about it. During this process, I consulted many experts in Beijing opera monkey opera and Shaoxing opera monkey opera, listened to their suggestions, and then added non-stop training, so the performance of Monkey King was completed."

"However, it seems that there are still many shortcomings. Next time I play Monkey King, I believe I can improve even more." Deng Chao said.

"It feels like you are telling the director that you still want to play Monkey King?" Jing Wei joked.

"Of course I want to, I really want to." Deng Chao didn't shy away.

"Haha... I really want to know, how did the tail come out? Is it a prop or a post-production?"

"It's a prop and also in post-production. An electric tail is really tied, but it swings unnaturally. Finally, the tail is wrapped in green cloth, so that it can be snapped out in the later stage, and then made with CG. A better one will come out."

Deng Chao explained.

"After watching the movie, how much do you rate the overall level of the movie?"

"Me? I'm still immersed in the movie and haven't come out. Will my score be unobjective? If I were allowed to play, I would score 101 points." Deng Chao said.

"Huh? Why 101 points?"

"100 points are for the movie, and the extra point is for the director, because he chose a good actor to play Monkey King, so he is going to be rewarded with one point."

"Pfft, haha..."

"Teacher Huang Xiaoming, why is your Tang Seng so good? I never knew you could play Tang Seng so well." Is Jing Wei a question or an affirmation?
"Ah? Well, I have to ask the director. I was going to audition for Sun Wukong, but he insisted on asking me to audition for Tang Seng, but... that's it. I didn't expect him to be quite handsome." Huang Xiaoming smiled wickedly.

"Hey, haha..."

……

The host chatted with each of the main creators for a few words, and then entered the interactive session, first with the reporter's question and answer.

"Director He Fang, do you predict that the box office of "Three Dozens of Bones" will reach the level of "Pacific Rim"? Everyone thinks that you are more suitable for making science fiction blockbusters. What do you think?"

The first reporter was rude and asked very sharp questions.

"Don't you think it can surpass "Pacific Rim"? Anyway, I think it can surpass "Pacific Rim", and the height is not hundreds of millions, but hundreds of millions."

"What is your basis?" The reporter asked immediately.

"It's very simple. The schedule of "Three Dozens of Bone Demons" is better. The summer period, the market size of the summer period far exceeds the market size of the Spring Festival period. The total box office of the summer period last year reached 37 billion yuan. This year's summer period should be in the About 45 billion. And the Spring Festival file did not have such a schedule before the release of "Pacific Rim", and the total box office of the Spring Festival file in 2012 was less than 20 billion."

"Secondly, there are more theaters. There are now 215 more theaters than in half a year, which is equivalent to adding more than 1000 screens in half a year. This is a direct increase in the number of screening screens, which greatly boosts the box office."

"Third, "Three Dozens of Bones" has a larger audience base than "Pacific Rim", especially in Asia, where "Journey to the West" has a great influence."

"So, basically, based on the above three points, I think "Three Dozens of Bones" has a higher box office than "Pacific Rim." After He Fang answered, everyone at the scene was stunned and couldn't believe it, but they felt that what He Fang said was true. reason.

"But the audience thinks that you should make a sci-fi blockbuster. When will your next domestic sci-fi blockbuster be?" asked the reporter.

"Well, it will be launched in September. In fact, I don't think everyone needs to be obsessed with science fiction films to be blockbusters. Mythology and fantasy films are both blockbusters, and they have our cultural characteristics."

After He Fang finished answering this question, he said by the way: "Maybe you can ask our actors more."

He Fang still wanted to try his best to get the actors to come to the front stage as much as possible. According to common sense, star actors were more topical, but in He Fang's crew, he, the director, was more topical.

There is nothing abnormal about this, because in any country, a director who is only 29 and has won many international awards, and whose single film has earned more than 6 million US dollars at the box office around the world is more attention-grabbing than ordinary stars. , more like a star.

"Director He Fang, I heard that you are ready to support the next Miss Fang. She will be the heroine of your next movie "Mermaid". Is that true?"

Suddenly a reporter asked a different question.

"Oh, I won't answer questions that are not related to "Three Attacks on the Bones", thank you."

He Fang will not abduct the topic.

"Director He Fang, what do you think in the first half of this year, only one domestic film "Killing" made waves? Is it because the market is too cold, or we have too few good movies?" Another reporter asked again.

"As I said just now, I won't answer questions other than "Three Dozens of Bones". You should ask a film expert about this question."

After He Fang repeatedly refused irrelevant questions, the reporters simply asked a few actors, and the actors were also very topical.

Especially during this period of time, Yanran's topicality seems to be black and red.

"Yan Ran, director He Fang said tonight that he could give you [-] points, are you afraid that the public opinion will be unfavorable to you?"

"I'm not afraid to say it's a lie. After all, some remarks are really hurtful. But as director He Fang said, you have to go through these things on this road, so I'm ready."

Yan Ran replied indifferently.

……

After the reporter's interview, the guests will interact with each other afterward. The first is Chen Kaige. It just so happens that he is here today. Of course, we will start with the biggest name.

"Director Chen Kaige, how did you feel after watching "Three Dozens of Bone Demons"? Can you tell us about it?" Jing Wei asked.

After a while, Chen Kaige took the microphone handed over by the staff, "If I want to talk about my feelings, I was thinking about a question: Should evil be saved or eliminated? In "Three Fighting Bones" directed by He Fang, Monkey King chose to eliminate , and Tang Seng chose to save, and in the end everyone was moved by Tang Seng's behavior. I especially want to ask Director He Fang, if it were you, how would you choose first?"

Chen Kaige's question is very interesting, a bit philosophical.

He Fang thought for a moment and picked up the microphone: "I choose to eliminate evil, because I don't have so much time and energy to influence evil, and I don't even have enough time to make movies."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

"Director Kaige, are you satisfied with this answer?" Jing Wei asked Chen Kaige after everyone laughed.

"I understand. What Director He Fang meant was that he chose reality in the face of ideals and reality, but his film shows that he hopes that someone will do what he wants to do. Director He Fang means that he is not a saint after all, or Let’s make more movies and make some money first.”

"Ha ha……"

Chen Kaige's explanation is also very interesting.

"Okay, thank you, Director Chen. Next, let's ask Director Wu Ershan. Director Wu also has a blockbuster fantasy movie to be released on the 20th. They are all young and promising directors in China." Jing Wei introduced.

Huayi Brothers also want "Painted Skin 2" to gain some popularity in "Three Dozens of Bone Demons", so this arrangement is very normal.

"Oh, that, I was very shocked after watching the movie "Three Attacks of the Bones". Some people who don't engage in 3D and special effects may not know it, because I just finished one, so I know how difficult it is. For example, everyone It seems an inconspicuous scene, the scene in which Guanyin Bodhisattva stops Monkey King from returning to Huaguo Mountain."

"Although this scene looks inconspicuous, it is not easy. The cloud sleeve and the cloud on the bottom of the foot are not conventional models, nor are they conventional special effects such as explosions, shattering, fireworks, floods, etc., so they cannot be handled according to conventional methods. A lot of technology needs to be retested."

"I'm just giving such a small example. What I want to express is that there are many special effects in this movie that seem inconspicuous but very difficult. These special effects are no easier than sci-fi blockbusters, or even more difficult."

"Everyone can see such a smooth and unconflicted picture. I have to say that it is impossible to make it without a perfect and powerful film heavy industry background. I personally think that the 3D special effects of "Three Fighting Bones" are not inferior. From Pacific Rim."

Wu Ershan nodded after finishing speaking.

"Wow, if it wasn't for Director Wu Ershan's introduction, we laymen would have no idea that there is solid industrial support behind this. Teacher Liu Yan, what do you think?" The host clicked on Liu Yan.

"I only have one point of view. It's so good-looking and shocking. In the past, "Journey to the West" only stayed on the TV. Now the technology allows us to experience it on the 3D big screen. It's amazing. At the same time, I also sigh, now The young students are all acting so well, I have to work hard."

"Teacher Fan Bingbing, what do you think? After all, this is a movie that wants to exclude you." Jing Wei challenged.

Fan Bingbing picked up the microphone: "I may not be able to act in Yanran's acting. Her performance is more comfortable than mine. I want to say that although I have confidence that my acting will not be bad, but Yanran's acting It's no worse than mine."

Fan Bing stood up.

"Director Feng Xiaogang, what do you think of it?"

Feng Xiaogang, who is working on the post-production stage of "[-]" and preparing for "Private Order" and striving to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala, is also here. Anyway, he is idle, and this is a big blockbuster. As a commercial film director, he has to come anyway. Take a look.

"I found that I couldn't watch He Fang's movies because watching his movies always messed me up. I saw his "Single Zoo", "Invasion of Wall Street" and "Scorching Sun", and "Human After Clearing the Project, there was always a fire in my heart, and I felt that I had to make some expressive films. Then I told Huayi that I had to make "[-]", and now I spent a I have been working on this movie for more than a year."

"Later, "Pacific Rim" was released early, and I felt very itchy after watching it. After watching "Three Dozens of Bones" today, I felt that other movies are not good anymore. I have to make a blockbuster with 3D special effects."

"Haha..." The audience all laughed.

"But, I don't think it's right. I'm not He Fang. I don't have such a good script, and I don't have a team that has filmed blockbuster 3D special effects. I don't have the opportunity to shoot. So, Director He Fang, you misled me into this, you said What should I do?"

Feng Xiaogang's cheating tricks suddenly fell on He Fang, which is really dumbfounding.

"Cough, Director Feng, you... I was wrong, can't I be wrong? Tell me, what do you think of me?" He Fang looked like he was about to cry.

"Hey, hey, what I'm waiting for is your words." Feng Xiaogang was excited, really excited. "I have no other requirements. You write me a script and lend me a team. I also want to make a 3D blockbuster."

Feng Xiaogang's way of talking about the boss of the Crocodile Gang in "Kung Fu" is really a bit funny.

"Haha..." The audience burst out laughing at Feng Xiaogang's request.

He Fang spread his hands, "Mr. Wang, I didn't poach people. It was Director Feng who wanted to shoot my script and use my team. How is this calculated? You can't take the script from me at a low price. Take the team away?"

He Fang was also playing wild, and directly discussed business with Huayi on the spot, and the audience at the scene was also excited.

At this time, the staff was very good at coming, and immediately handed Mr. Wang a microphone.

"It's not difficult. The two sides will jointly invest and develop together."

"Okay, since the king has spoken, Director Feng, the science fiction story and production team must be arranged." He Fang promised on the spot.

"Okay, everyone heard it, He Fang personally agreed to this..." Feng Xiaogang was really excited, he had been craving He Fang's script for a long time.

"I heard……"

……

Will He Fang really give Feng Xiaogang a sci-fi blockbuster?

of course it's true.

But Feng Xiaogang was afraid that He Fang would regret it, so when the premiere was over, he went to find He Fang impatiently. He Fang was very helpless, so he had to invite him to the appreciation reception by car, and they chatted in the car.
