China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 24 Why Are You Still Rejected?

As expected, because the two directors did not accept He Fang's plan, it was not that his plan was bad, but that Mango TV's "Fast Girl" after its renaming this year was in preparation and it was about to enter the audition stage.

At this moment, you said that you are going to have another music show like a talent show. How ambitious are you, it is completely impossible.

Although he knew the result earlier, He Fang was still a little disappointed.

At this time, the Marcos have already made up their minds. They are determined to invest in He Fang’s variety show company. At the end of April, Changsha Xingyao Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. was registered. Wan, according to He Fang's double discount, he accounted for 4% of Tuanhuo Culture's shares, and He Fang's 50%.

The registered capital of Changsha Xingyao Film and Television is 500 million, of which Changsha Tuanhuo Culture Development Co., Ltd. holds 80% of the shares, and the Marcos hold 20%. 100 million came out.

Next, their work began to speed up. He Fang's request was to start the finale of "The Voice of China" in July, and it will be May soon, so the time is very tight.

They work together in a division of labor, and He Fang and Zhang Qian are responsible for finding advertisers and cooperative TV stations.

The Marcos are responsible for selecting the venue, director, music director, four mentors, and going to various countries, Gulf, and Southeast Asia to select one or two hundred audition students.

In two months, the difficulty of this work is not ordinary, and the start-up capital is only 500 million, and the 5000 million production capital promised by He Fang is now only one-tenth.

There was definitely no way to go out and talk during the May Day holiday, so He Fang flew to BJ with Zhang Qian to check the later progress of "Far Cry".

Editing teacher Qian Lin's studio and composition teacher An Wei's studio are both here in Jiuxianqiao, and Jiao Guoxiong is here for post production these days.

After He Fang and Zhang Qian arrived at the hotel, Jiao Guoxiong was waiting at the hotel. As soon as the three met, He Fang asked about the progress of the later stage.

Now the editing has just finished the first cut, and the first version of the fine cut is being cut. Qian Lin has too much work to do.Now it is her big apprentice who is doing the cutting. Teacher Qian comes to watch once a day, looks back and forth, and then guides how to cut.

He Fang nodded after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do. It would be very difficult for them to rely on Teacher Qian to operate the editing by himself with their little money.

As for the sound and composition, because the editing side has not yet produced the first version of the fine cut, the sound has not received the video sample files, and they have no way to work.However, the sound materials are already being sorted out there, and the composition teacher is also conceiving the composition work.

He Fang knew that there was no rush for these things, so the three of them had a meal and then went to Qian Lin's studio.

Qian Lin's attitude towards He Fang was very flat, not enthusiastic, but not bad either.

"Director He, hello, your filming is not bad, it's quite commercial, and the story is complete and logical." This is Qian Lin's evaluation of "Far Cry".

This is an evaluation that people don't know how to answer, but He Fang is smiling.

"This kind is just to earn box office, as long as the audience likes to watch it."

"Haha... Then the audience likes to see more thorough stripping." Qian Lin said such a sentence abruptly. Although she said it with a smile, He Fang felt very uncomfortable.

He Fang was stunned for a moment, he might have understood something, this teacher Qian was dissatisfied that his scenes were full of flesh-shaking scenes, and was criticizing his movies for being too vulgar.

"Hehe, yes, so you can see that the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals are all those films that are completely off-putting. We are already very conservative, and the main thing is to care about the feelings of the audience. Those who play literature and art don't even feel the audience. I'm all scruples, and the director will do whatever he likes." He Fang also answered with a smile.

He Fang is not ambiguous, if you criticize my movies as vulgar, how dare you say that the high-end art films that those masters call are high-end?More explicit than mine.

Some people just like to play double standards, saying that descriptions such as "White Deer Plain" and "Plump-Breast-Fat-Butt" are literature, and a little description in online articles is vulgar.No matter how the Cannes award-winning Luna is art, his "Far Cry" will be vulgar?
Facing He Fang's counterattack with a smile, Qian Lin didn't say anything, but smiled reluctantly.

"I heard that you followed Cameron's new film in Hollywood, or was it his apprentice?"

"Hey, what apprentice, everyone knows that this is just a publicity stunt, and I am just one of his many assistants."

"What new movie did Cameron make? It's been so many years." Qian Lin asked curiously.

"A sci-fi film called "Avatar" will be released at the end of this year. Once this film is released, it will change the entire film industry." He Fang replied.

Hearing what He Fang said, the few people sitting here were very curious.

"Hey, the movie that changed the movie industry? What movie is so arrogant?" Qian Lin asked in doubt.

"3D movies are immersive movies after wearing 3D glasses in the cinema. You can see butterflies flying to your hands, tidbits floating in front of your eyes, and beasts pounce on your head. In short, it is the kind of movie that makes people feel A 3D movie in a real scene. This will be a revolution in movie technology, which will give movies a wider range of audio-visual enjoyment and possibilities of creation.”

"Wow, so awesome?" The few people who were listening were stunned.

"Nice or not, you will find out in the first half of the year. Then go to the cinema to see if it is as exaggerated as I said." He Fang smiled.

"What do you mainly do as an assistant to Cameron?" Qian Lin asked.

"I mainly record shots. What shots are shot every day, and where is the difference from the plan? The director may temporarily say when a certain shot will be shot. We have to record it and remind the director when it is appropriate."

"The movie hasn't been released yet, why don't you follow?"

"After the filming work is over, I will finish the work. The rest is the post-production of the film, especially the rendering of special effects. I don't need so many people to follow. I am just a small assistant, and I am not a member of Cameron's core team. Not a Fox employee."

……

Although He Fang was displeased with Qian Lin's way of asking questions like checking household registration, he didn't resist.He knows that domestic colleges and filmmakers have a natural resistance to commercial films, and they are even more resistant to Hollywood filmmakers returning to China.

Don't think that He Fang is the only filmmaker who is a returnee. Every year, there are talents who have graduated from foreign professional film art schools such as the New York University Film School and the University of Southern California School of Film Art.

But do you think how many of the mainstream directors and filmmakers are returning talents?So far there is only one, and that is Wang Yuelun. He returned to China after studying at the New York Film Academy as a director.

But Wang Yuelun can only hang around in the resources of Hunan TV people. He is so mixed up that he can't be with BJ, and BJ's circle looks down on him.

For He Fang, a director who has been in a more commercialized Hollywood, BJ's mainstream is even more repulsive.Although the national policy requires everyone to make more commercial films to compete with Hollywood films, the mainstream of BJ's film industry rejects commercial directors to destroy their Garden of Eden.

Is it not enough for someone like Feng Xiaogang to be rejected?Various awards are not given to him, and he is looked down upon by various bigwigs in the circle.

Has Hong Kong's commercial director Beiyou been regarded as a god?No, the mainstream media and academia are pretending not to see it, and will report it only when there is no other way.

As an academic, Qian Lin also has a natural rejection of commercial filmmakers. He Fang can understand this very well, so it is also very understandable that she always has a disdainful attitude towards He Fang.

But what can be done?He doesn't know a reliable editor in China, and he doesn't even know a better filmmaker.His films have to be cut, right?So, it's fine to bear it, not to mention that he is also a senior, so he has to call teacher, she just sarcastically a little bit, and didn't say much.As for her nonchalant attitude towards He Fang, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether the job is done well.

Of course, He Fang can also edit by himself like other directors, but he knows that this is not a good behavior after being educated in Hollywood.If the screenwriter, director, and editing are all done by themselves, then this is a proper author's film, full of the author's personal style and love, and imposing what he thinks is excellent on the audience.

The separation of the three creative processes of editing, directing, and editing is actually beneficial to the film. He Fang is not a god, he does everything by himself.Besides, he didn't want to spoil this creation.

After hearing what He Fang said, Qian Lin looked at He Fang seriously, feeling that He Fang didn't look like a liar.

"Okay, it's pretty good. Director He, come, let's take a look at our editing..."
