China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 242 The Hong Kong Reporter Sudden Sex Change?Thai is still good
The weather in July is very hot, and the temperature is [-] to [-] degrees every day, especially in the south. If you move a little, you will sweat.

Hong Kong is a very strange place, that is, when you look at the fire season in July and August, there are many people wearing suits and ties.

why?Because as long as there are buildings, there is an air conditioner, and the air conditioner is extremely low, about 18-20 degrees, so you really have to wear a coat after sitting for a long time.

So He Fang and the others have short sleeves and jackets for a while, really...

After the three movie theaters ran, there were enough people.

What's even more strange is that there were not many reporters attacking He Fang, and they just followed and took some photos. I feel that they took more photos to pick some angled photos to make up sex news.

A group of reporters who followed the crew were not noisy, and it felt strange to be like a royal photographer.

However, after the evening press conference was held as scheduled, the reporters began to gear up.

"Director He Fang, the "New York Times" published an article saying that you are a destroyer of the American cultural order. What do you think?"

This first question is really about what the United States is most concerned about, and it doesn't matter where it is.

"I stood and saluted and watched. I thanked them for their uplifting. They praised me so high. I am a destroyer of the cultural order of the world's number one country. It's an honor."

"Ha ha……"

clap clap clap...

There was laughter and applause at the scene, applauding He Fang for being so humorous and his feat of fighting against a country.

It's really an honor, to be criticized as a spoiler by such a big newspaper, it's an honor to be a villain.

"Then will you still make films that they think destroy their cultural order in the future?" the reporter asked.

"I don't know what the movie he said is destroying their cultural order. Is it an oriental myth? Then I guess I will continue to make it." He Fang nodded.

"Are you really not afraid of being banned?" the reporter asked.

"Hehe, if they dare to ban them, they will lose. I, as a director, will be banned if I shoot a fairy tale of my own country. Isn't the so-called freedom, democracy, and cultural tolerance a joke? The dignity of the largest country is not Was it thrown on the ground and stepped on?”

"This matter is not as serious as you think. I have been in the United States for many years, and I know that this is their normal state. They often have some extreme people publish some extreme articles. Today they call me a destroyer of cultural order, and tomorrow they may call others a Democracy destroyer, scold another free market destroyer the day after tomorrow. It's no big deal."

He Fang spread his hand.

"Then can you talk about your grievances with the Taiwan media today?"

"There is nothing to say. Their media has been completely reduced to a tool of capital and politicians. Facing a piece of news, they don't report the whole story objectively and fairly, but always want to take it out of context and hype up some topics to gain attention. Sell ​​some newspapers and magazines, and try to make more money. This kind of media has lost its meaning as a media. It is a tool to make money, and it is just a despicable person who fools the people."

"By the way, the Hong Kong media should not be like this? You will at least respect the truth of the basic facts, right? At least you will report the whole story of the news completely, right? You will not forcefully instill your own opinions on the readers, will you?"

The reporters in the audience were a little embarrassed by He Fang's repeated rhetorical questions. How could he do this? Do you want to make money by doing this?

But can they admit it?Of course not.

"Our Hong Kong media is not Taiwan media, we have a bottom line." Someone shouted from the audience.

"Well, I believe you have a bottom line." He Fang took advantage of the situation and praised.

"Then Director He Fang, why don't you use actors from Taiwan Province? You can't speak Mandarin like Hong Kong actors?" A reporter asked at this time.

"I don't use Taiwanese actors, it's just that I don't have a suitable opportunity. Up to now, I have auditioned many times for many movies, and I have rarely received resumes from Taiwanese actors, or their performances in auditions. They failed to break through to me in the competition."

"Including Hong Kong actors, as long as you submit your resume during my film audition, I will definitely give you an audition in a fair and just manner. If anyone feels that they have been treated unfairly, we will release the audition video for professionals and society to judge. .”

"..." Faced with He Fang's answer, the reporter was speechless. He didn't express his position like this before, but now he uses this method to block everyone's mouths. How is the so-called fair competition possible?

Actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan may be sad when it comes to lines.Not to mention other aspects, adults know that the standards set by others are always beneficial to others, how difficult it is for you to meet other people's standards.

"Director He Fang, I heard that Director Wang Jing's first film with Changsha Tuanhuo Culture is about to wrap up. What do you think of the film's box office?"

"I haven't watched the film yet so I can't give an evaluation, but I believe that Director Wang Jing's level is sufficient in terms of funds, sufficient shooting time, and sufficient guarantees. Moreover, when he is serious about making movies, his level is world-class. "

"Then what do you think of director Wang Jing's past?" the reporter asked.

"Director Wang Jing is a good director. He is a director who is worthy of investors as much as possible. There is nothing to say about his level. As for how well he can perform, it depends on the budget and time. I think he is hurt by excessive business. The director, he gave up a lot for the profit of a commercial film, which is not good."

"Are you saying he shouldn't just do it for profit? Or that he shouldn't hurt himself?"

"Of course, he shouldn't make movies that he knows he doesn't have enough investment budget and time. In this way, he has to sacrifice part of the quality in order to make the movie profitable, and then use his own reputation to carry the movie's profit. This is very wrong. good."

He Fang replied.

"Hi Deng Chao, may I ask which one do you think is more difficult to play Monkey King or Xin Xiaofeng? Which one do you think is better?" A reporter asked Deng Chao.

"Of course Sun Wukong is more difficult to play, but Xin Xiaofeng is better for me." Deng Chao was surprised that he was asked so soon. Isn't He Fang usually alone for more than half of the time?And the most violent one?Don't complain or ask more questions today?

"why?"

"Because Monkey King is another species, Xin Xiaofeng is at least a human being, and I'm better at acting." Deng Chao's answer was very funny.

"Haha..." The reporters at the scene laughed, they didn't expect Deng Chao to be so funny.

"If you were asked to rate your performance of Monkey King, how would you rate it on a 10-point scale?"

"Let's say 7 points, a little better for passing, a little bit worse for excellence, and farther away from perfection. However, although I can only give myself 7 points, I think I am already very satisfied, because I played a monkey so that the world will The audience likes it, I think I have tried my best. It's like a dog trying to portray a person, it's too difficult." Deng Chao said narcissistically.

"Oh, how do you think Xu Zheng's Zhu Bajie is better than yours?" the reporter asked.

"That's different. I am a human playing a monkey, and he is Zhu Bajie playing Zhu Bajie. There is no comparison."

"I'll go..." Xu Zheng was dumbfounded.

"Ha ha……"

"Brother Zheng, don't get me wrong. I mean you are really good... No, I mean, you are playing yourself, and it's not right, I mean, you have experience playing Zhu Bajie..."

"Ha ha……"

Deng Chao grabbed his hair angrily, Xu Zheng looked very angry.

"If you look like this, I will let the master put a curse on you."

"Ha ha……"

Two actors with comedic talent come together...

"Huang Xiaoming, have you ever resisted the director asking you to play such a Tang Seng? Aren't you afraid that someone will scold you for not acting well?"

"Me? I'm fine. As an actor, you must first listen to the director's arrangement. The creation of an actor is a re-creation under the guidance of the director. Of course, the director also communicated with me at the time Tang Seng's request and discussed the character of the character. issues such as definition.”

Huang Xiaoming's question and answer is relatively serious.

"Have you encountered any difficulties in acting? What do you think is the biggest challenge in playing Tang Seng?" the reporter asked.

"There are difficulties, that is, the director asked me to be more commercial, more down-to-earth, and more humane. Don't have that kind of cold and pitiful face like an eminent monk."

"After all, Tang Seng was only about 25 years old when he went to learn Buddhist scriptures, and he had not yet reached the point of becoming an eminent monk. He honed himself slowly in the process of learning Buddhist scriptures along the way."

"So in the movie, I have to be afraid of the white tiger, but I am even more afraid of the monkey monkey. It wasn't until I found out that I could control the monkey king that I had an inexplicable joy. This is to play a kind of human nature, including the appearance that I am easily attracted by others. To cheat and then to be irritable is human nature."

"How to completely unify human nature, Buddha nature, and commercial nature in the end is the biggest challenge." Huang Xiaoming said.

"Obviously you did it, the audience recognized it very much, congratulations." The reporter said.

"Thank you."

……

Next, the reporter asked several other actors some questions. This time, the strange reporters didn't ask any particularly sharp questions about He Fang, and felt much gentler.

This almost made He Fang a little unaccustomed. At the end of the press conference, He Fang even teased the reporters.

"I thought you would treat me like an enemy like last time. I was ready, but I didn't expect you to be friendly this time."

Then the reporters laughed, and a reporter from Oriental News suddenly said something.

"The only thing that can make Americans regard you as a threat is the light of the Chinese. Although we like to criticize celebrities and grab news, we are also Chinese."

What this reporter said made He Fangtu stunned. He always thought that many people in Hong Kong were brainwashed by colonial ideas and had a weak sense of identity. He didn't expect them to hide another side.

He Fangchao earnestly clasped his fists to thank the reporters, and the reporters also clasped their fists.

"However, your gossip will definitely explode, and we also have to eat."

"Haha...whatever, I don't gossip."

……

After the press conference, they went to record "Quan Jia Fu Lu Shou", which is a group of people imitating and spoofing popular figures and events in the entertainment industry, which is to commercialize entertainment to death.

After recording very late, the recording crew had to say that they would invite the "Three Dozens" crew to have a supper, but He Fang and the others really didn't have time.

Including the big guys in the Hong Kong circle who said they wanted to get together with He Fang and He Fang refused, let alone Xiang Huasheng and Yang Shoucheng also asked someone to invite He Fang and He Fang also refused. There is really no time.

One day, one city, how can there be time.

They flew to Singapore in a hurry that night, and they will go to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila in the next few days.

Since it is a working day, the global box office of the film is also falling.

At the box office on Monday, July 7, domestic revenue was 9 million yuan, North America was 8342 million U.S. dollars, and the rest of the world only received 643 million U.S. dollars.However, the overall decline stabilized and did not fall.

Generally, whether the box office of a movie can be stabilized depends on whether the box office on the working day of the next week falls below 50.00% of the first week’s single day. If it falls below this value, it proves that the movie has collapsed.

If this value is stable, the higher the stability, the stronger the momentum of the follow-up.

The global second-week working day of "Three Dozens of Bones" dropped within 50.00%, and some even had a drop of only about 40.00%.

"The General Administration of Film and Television Research Conference on Traditional Cultural Stories"

"Recently, a number of film and television companies plan to study and establish traditional cultural story film and television projects"

"Tell Chinese stories well and export Chinese culture well"

"Seminar on learning from Huying Group held in Changsha"

……

This kind of opportunity to follow up and learn is not ambiguous in China, and the success of He Fang's new movie has made Warner and Fox accelerate the pace of cooperation with He Fang.

On July 7, Fox announced the audition work for the Asian actors of "X-Men", and sent invitation letters for auditions to nearly a hundred actors from China, Japan, and South Korea, and the momentum was not small.

And Warner also officially announced the Asian location selection of "Edge of Tomorrow", and plans to select several locations in Asia as the background of He Fang's new science fiction movie.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has actually been in preparation for a while. After all, the main creator and cast members must be determined first.

Although it has not been announced, the actors are basically confirmed. After all, some big names don't confirm their roles earlier, so they don't necessarily have a schedule.

However, the NYT article criticizing He Fang seems to have had a bad effect...

Some things are brewing and about to explode, but at this time, He Fang is enjoying a comfortable Thai essential oil massage in Thailand. The private massage service in such high-end villas in Thailand is really the top enjoyment.

In particular, the technician's fingers feel like magic, and every press can make people bite their lips and make a sound.
