China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 240 Wu Zongxian Really Dare to Ask, Domestic First Weekend Box Office
"Director He, are you attracted to an island actress?" Fan Zhilin asked in a low voice, He Fang immediately tightened his mind, that's impossible, he is not a scumbag, how could he have such an idea?
They flew from Tokyo to Taiwan Province on the plane that night. This was He Fang's first time here, and he had never been here before. In fact, he really didn't want to come at this time.

He hoped that he would come in another identity and time, but this time he came earlier.

Of course, the arrival of the crew of "Three Attacks on the Bones" also gave the reporters a lot of material, and they were stopped at the airport.

"Director He Fang, will there be any other cooperation when you come to Taiwan to promote this time? I heard that you are going to cooperate with Taiwanese stars, will you cooperate with Taiwanese stars?" The reporter asked.

"I have no plans for now, of course I hope that day will come sooner." He Fang replied.

"Which day will that day be? I heard that you don't want to work with Hong Kong actors because they can't speak Mandarin, but why don't you work with Taiwanese stars? Are Hong Kong and Taiwan actors not as good as island countries?" Taiwan Provincial reporters are very sharp.

"You really know how to make news for me, thank you, I don't want this kind of enthusiasm. To cooperate with whomever you want, you don't just cooperate if you want to cooperate. There are many opportunities, and when the opportunity comes, you will cooperate." He Fang continued to avoid the important and ignore the trivial.

"Then what is an opportunity? I heard that you have always wanted to support Taiwanese directors to make movies. Will you continue to support after your intention is thwarted?" asked the reporters.

"Intent to frustrate? Some people are afraid that our cooperation with Taiwan Province has some purpose, and we are fully open to Taiwan Province to do anything in the mainland, and you always criticize the mainland for obstructing and obstructing, but fortunately you are sons, Otherwise, such a request will be..." He Fang originally wanted to say 'you will be beaten to death', but he stopped saying it because he thought it would cause a quarrel.

"What will happen? Why do you dwarf Taiwan Province? Say we are sons?" the reporter asked.

"What do you think? Is it wrong for the same Chinese nation to be the sons of the Chinese nation on both sides of the strait? Have some common sense?" He Fang got a little angry when he said that.

But at this moment, the staff came to stop the reporter and He Fang's crew. The two sides did not continue talking, so He Fang and the others got into the car and left the airport.

Alas, this place makes He Fang feel very uncomfortable. Forget it, try to finish the activities here as soon as possible and leave early. Anyway, He Fang and the others went straight to the hotel and were ready to rest. They didn't plan to eat any snacks, and they were not in the mood.

He Fang just moved into the room, and the domestic box office on the second day was released, 11632 million, which is 1.16 million. Once again, the box office of more than [-] million a day has gone crazy.

He Fang is not in the mood to invite everyone to celebrate. He is too lazy to communicate with these media here in Taiwan, mainly because he is afraid that he can't help but choke them.

So, he had to hold back.

As a result, before the next day, the network of Taiwan Province that night was choking on He Fang, "He Fang dwarfed Taiwan Province, saying that Taiwan Province is his son", the next day all major newspapers were reporting, and this report alone was enough sparked public opinion.

Then many reporters got stuck in the hotel where "Three Dozens of Bone Demons" was staying, asking for an explanation.

Give an explanation?What to say?
He Fang was notified of the situation by the hotel staff, but he had nothing to say, he still took his time to wash up, then went to have breakfast, and let the reporters wait in the lobby to ignore them.

He also took a look at the global box office on July 7. The mainland was 7 million yuan, and the North American weekend was 1.16 million U.S. dollars on the second day. He felt that He Fang's box office appeal in North America fluctuated around this level. The box office in the first week was around 958 million.

The box office in other parts of the world was 3028 million US dollars, an increase of nearly 600 million US dollars from the first day, and the bulk of the increase was in the box office in Asia.

The story of "Journey to the West" is still more familiar to Asian audiences. This is a cultural advantage. Children in many countries grew up watching "Journey to the West".

……

"Hey, why is this so unreasonable? Let us wait so long?"

"That is, why does he play big names in front of the media?"

"Is this arrogant?"

……

Around [-]:[-], the crew of "Three Dozens of Bone Demons" came out.

"Director He Fang, I heard that you deliberately downplayed Taiwan Province yesterday, why did you downplay Taiwan Province?"

"Director He Fang, what is the reason for your arrogance to Taiwanese people?"

"Director He Fang..."

"Is the reporter who asked me yesterday here?" He Fang ignored these people, but glanced at the reporters coldly.

"I'm here, what's the matter, do you still want to take revenge on me?" It was the reporter from yesterday.

"Come, raise your right hand and touch your conscience. Come, repeat what I said yesterday." He Fang pointed to his right hand.

"You, you, what do you mean? Are you threatening me?" the reporter yelled.

"Threat? I just want you to touch your conscience and say, what do you mean by taking my words out of context? What are your intentions? Are you trying to sow discord between me and the people of Taiwan Province? Come, tell me, what I said yesterday What is the whole story? Why is your report only half-finished?" He Fang stared at the reporter coldly.

"...Hmph..." The reporter snorted coldly, then retreated into the crowd.

"Why are you running? Are you guilty? Do you dare to admit that you have done something bad? Do you dare to be a reporter? This is the level of reporters in Taiwan Province? Bah, rubbish."

He Fang poohed, it's over, something happened to his pooh.

"He Fang, what do you mean? Are you going to insult reporters from Taiwan Province?"

"He Fang, are you making a personal attack?"

"This is your quality?"

"This is the quality of a great director of Chinese International?"

...The reporters besieged He Fang filled with righteous indignation, but He Fang didn't speak, and pointed at the three people holding the cameras behind him.

The reporter now fully understands that they have already videotaped the whole process.

Immediately, the reporters were dumbfounded, because they knew that the previous reporters must have taken it out of context.

"I said that this out-of-context reporter is rubbish. Did I call you guys? Why are you so excited? Are you with him?" He Fang asked back.

Now the faces of the reporters are all livid, it's hard to refute.

"I told the reporters yesterday that in front of the Chinese nation, the mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan provinces are all her sons. Is this wrong? Go ask your officials, or even people from all over the world. Chinese, is this correct?"

"In the end, how did this rubbish reporter report it? He said that I was superior and regarded the people of Taiwan Province as my own sons. Tell me, what is his purpose? What is he trying to provoke?"

"..." When He Fang questioned this, the reporters at the scene glanced at each other, and then left silently.

"Why are you leaving? Didn't you want to choke me? How did you leave?"

……

Afterwards, He Fang still asked people to post all the videos online, on international websites, and on domestic websites as well.

It immediately caused controversy both domestically and internationally, and even netizens in Taiwan couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's really embarrassing. I thought they could use the Taiwanese media to make up a fool, but they were caught. This time, it's embarrassing, right?"

"Hey, He Fang is doing a good job. These reporters have no bottom line at all now. They never care about the facts. They only care about whether there is topicality and whether it can increase the sales of newspapers and magazines. Is the privatization of news media really a good thing?"

"The media in Taiwan Province has long been rotten. Don't make a fool of yourself in the future. Alas, shame on you."

"In the past, no one could restrain them, and you had to coax them. Now it's all right, when you meet a hard character, others are not afraid of you, and they don't coax you, and then you will make a fool of yourself."

……

People in the Taiwanese media saw that He Fang did not give any face to publicize this matter, which really pissed them off, but now the stinky He Fang can't be too obvious.

what to do?Not reporting "Three Attacks on the Bones" in the media made his film have no box office in Taiwan.

By the way, find a film critic to hack his film.

However, He Fang doesn't care at all, it's time to do publicity, if there is no box office in Taiwan, then there will be no box office, and his film is not bad at the box office.

Therefore, the promotion of "Three Attacks on the Bones" in Taiwan Province seemed to be silenced by the media all day, quietly.

"Director He, you have offended the Taiwanese media so badly, I guess you won't be able to deal with them in the future." Deng Chao joked as he looked at the place where there were no media reporters when he was doing publicity at National Taiwan University.

"What are you afraid of, I don't rely on them for food. The frogs in the well all day long feel that others deserve theirs, as if we should treat them well. I have tolerated them for a long time. After all, they are just a game of others. It's just a victim." He Fang said angrily.

"..." Huang Xiaoming smiled and spread his hands.

……

That night, the crew recorded "I Guess, I Guess, Guess, Guess". Everyone tacitly did not mention what Fang He was doing against the media. Wu Zongxian and Patty Hou are very good at chatting, and they feel that they have a stronger sense of variety than He Jiu, and they understand that the audience wants to watch. What.

And the questions he asked were all on the red line, for example, he asked Yan Ran.

"Yan Ran, everyone says you are Fang girl, so tell me the truth, have you been unspoken by the director?"

When Yan Ran heard this, she was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Haha, brother Xian, you scared the little girl." Patty Hou quickly smoothed things over.

"Oh, the little girl hasn't grown up yet, that's fine, let me ask Pan Zhilin, Zhilin, do you think director He Fang has hidden rules for you?" Wu Zongxian continued to ask this question.

However, Pan Zhilin seemed to be more likely to answer than Yan Ran, "I do think so, think about it, if you are recruited by such a young and handsome man who is an international director, wouldn't you just turn a pheasant into a phoenix?"

"Wow..." Pan Zhilin's answer made the audience exclaim.

Yan Ran was taken aback, and looked at Pan Zhilin in admiration, this answer is really ingenious.

"That means there is no one? Then do you want to be a director?" Wu Zongxian continued to ask.

"This question... You can ask the unmarried ladies at the scene to see if they think about it. I think they have the same thoughts as us. But thoughts are thoughts, actions are actions, and some actions cannot be done."

Papapa, He Fang couldn't help applauding Pan Zhilin, this answer is of a high standard.

"Director He Fang, how would you rate Zhilin's answer?" Wu Zongxian asked.

"Of course it's zero." He Fang said firmly.

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised. Pan Zhilin's answer just now was very emotional.

"Why?" Wu Zongxian asked.

"Because you can't have such an idea, let alone such a statement, we are all decent people, we can't mislead the audience, let alone make the audience mistakenly think that there is something real. Once this kind of thing has room for imagination, you are not doing it. No matter what, others will always think that something happened to you."

He Fang explained.

"Oh, this answer is more beautiful." Wu Zongxian applauded.

"Mr. Deng Chao, I really want to ask, is the Monkey King you played with hair sticking all day? And a tail tied?" Wu Zongxian asked Deng Chao.

"Yeah, the director doesn't let me take it off, because some habits need to be integrated into life, so that it will be natural in performance."

"Then what should you do if you want to pee? Will your tail get in the way if you want to poop?"

"Pfft, haha..."

"..." Deng Chao is very funny, and he was also confused by this question...

……

After finishing the program "I Guess I Guess I Guess Guess", everyone rushed to the airport and flew to Hong Kong.

Taiwan Province's promotion seems to have completed the task. If you don't come, fans in Taiwan Province think you don't pay attention to it. If you come, you always feel that you will not deal with it everywhere.

Difficult, difficult.

That night they landed at the Hong Kong airport, and they were surrounded by countless reporters as soon as they came out.

"Director He Fang, how did the grievances between you and the Taiwanese media arise? It is said that you would rather support island artists than Taiwanese artists. Can you tell me why you don't want to use artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan?"

"Director He Fang, I heard that you admitted in Wu Zongxian's program that the unspoken rule was for Miss Fang. Did all the selected ones hide?"

"Director He Fang, some international professional film critics criticized that the Tang Monk sacrificed his life to save others in the film as a culture that cannot be promoted. This culture is wrong and unreasonable. What do you think of this statement?"

……

Buzzing, bombarding like countless flies, domestic reporters are really gentle.

"Everyone, I'm very tired now, so I can't answer your questions. How about this? I will have a press briefing tomorrow afternoon. I will definitely answer you. I need to go back to the hotel to rest now, thank you."

Speaking of which, the airport security guards left with "Three Dozens of Bones", but the reporter would not let it go, and immediately took photos from various angles.

If you pick and choose, you might be able to compile a press release. Isn't that how the money comes from?

As a result, several unimaginable articles were published in the e-issues of various newspapers and magazines that night.

"Mainland and international director He Fang Hong Kong landed in Hong Kong with a tired face, suspected of fighting with Fang girls for several days and was seriously exhausted"

"He Fang is full of tiredness, fighting fiercely with the media in Taiwan Province"

"Miss Fang suddenly looked at He Fang with concern and regret in her eyes"

"Fang girl Pan Zhilin's hands are suspected to be guarding for He Fang"

"He Fang is known as the number one hunk in China, accompanied by several Fang girls, and all the Fang girls are radiant"

……

He Fang and the others just went to the hotel for a while, and He Fang was about to take a bath to get tired, but he heard the phone ringing non-stop.

He Fang opened it, I'll go... Isn't the Hong Kong media too shameless?What kind of gossip is this?

However, just in time, the domestic box office on the last day of the first week was also released.

On July 7, the box office of "Three Dozens of Bones" in the mainland: 8 million, or 12765 million, setting a new record again.

In the first three days in the mainland, the box office totaled 35233 million, which is 3.52 million yuan, equivalent to 5593 million U.S. dollars.

He Fang nodded satisfied after reading the box office data, and then took a screenshot and posted it to the group of "Three Dozens of Bone Demons", and the group immediately became ebullient, clamoring to go out to drink and celebrate, and they were not tired at once. up.

But He Fang didn't have the energy anymore, so he replied, let them move freely, he wants to take a bath and then sleep.

And after the domestic box office of the first week was released, there was an article on the Internet overnight about "Three Dozens of Bones". The article was called "Where is the movie a phenomenon, or is it inevitable?" "

"Is "Three Dozens of Bones" a bad movie? Obviously not, but is it the best high-quality movie? I watched it, and there are still flaws, at least worse than the plot of "Pacific Rim". I Personally, I think it is barely a 70-point commercial film at most, and it is slightly better than qualified among blockbuster films."

"However, why is the movie sold so well all over the world, and why is it so sought after?"

"After the author's analysis, I came to the following conclusion: He Fang has always won word-of-mouth in the hearts of the audience with qualified movies that meet the audience's needs, which has caused him to keep making problematic movies but have always had a high box office, because He has become powerful..."
