China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 258 He Fang is the Stupidest, Digging a Hole for Himself
Scheduling is actually the hardest part of filming a sci-fi blockbuster like "Edge of Tomorrow", and the acting is second. Scheduling is very difficult.

Therefore, they have to rehearse many important scenes before filming when they read the script.

Therefore, after all the main creators joined the group, everyone was so busy that He Fang didn't even think about sex at night. Anyway, there were too many things. Fortunately, Zhang Mo, his executive director and director's assistant in general role, was a man of few words. He is a very solid person, so he can share a lot of things for him.

On November 11th, "Edge of Tomorrow" was officially launched. Entertainment journalists from East Asian countries and regions as well as Hollywood gathered at the launch conference. There were about a hundred people.

In fact, most of the reporters came to Leonardo. There was no way, he was too popular and the topic was too high.

One of the questions that attracted everyone's attention was why he took on the show. Leonardo answered this question in this way.

"First of all, I have long had the idea to cooperate with He once. Everyone knows that his films are very distinctive, and I happen to be a person who likes to make distinctive movies."

"Secondly, because I read this script, I think this setting is really interesting. The setting here is fun, sci-fi and philosophical. If God gives you the chance to start again and again, but it just makes you What should I do if I can’t do everything satisfactorily? This setting makes me very interested.”

"In the end, I need to continue to have high-grossing commercial films to guarantee my worth. After all, the last high-grossing film was "Inception" two years ago."

After Leonardo finished speaking, the reporter felt that there was no problem, because these three points could convince everyone.

"Leonardo, are you worried about creating disagreements with He Fang? After all, you have never collaborated before." A reporter asked Leonardo.

"Divergence? Why is there a disagreement? He is the director and I am an actor. In terms of creation, I must ensure that my performance meets the director's requirements. Therefore, there is no disagreement."

……

"Director He Fang, this is your second time making a sci-fi movie, what's the difference compared to the first time?" The reporter's question is sometimes inexplicable.

"If you want to talk about the difference, it is that the last "Pacific Rim" was basically shot in the studio, but this time "Edge of Tomorrow" was mostly done on location. This is the first difference."

"The second difference is that the actors in this cooperation are different, with Leonardo's level of participation."

"The third difference is that this time it is an adaptation of someone else's story, and it is a story from a different country and culture."

"Probably these three points are different."

After He Fang finished speaking, he nodded slightly towards the reporters.

"Director He Fang, you once said that you would minimize the cooperation with Teacher Fan Bingbing, but since you said that, you have cooperated with her in two blockbuster films. May I ask why?"

After the reporter asked this question, He Fang suddenly laughed.

"Look, I avoided it on purpose, but I still can't avoid it. What does it mean?" He Fang glanced at the reporters, "It means that the choice of Chinese international actresses is limited."

"Teacher Fan Bingbing, He Fang said that he doesn't want to use you at all, but he has no choice but to use you. Are you angry after hearing that?" The reporter challenged Fan Bingbing.

"Angry? Why should I be angry? I like to see him dislike me, but he has to behave like me. So, shouldn't he be the one who is angry? Why me?" Fan Bingbing's answer made everyone laugh .

What she said is indeed reasonable, a person who doesn't like you but always comes to ask you for help, you feel happy when you think about it.

He Fang also spread his hands helplessly, expressing that he was very miserable.

"Looking at the introduction just now, you will be a ruthless killer. What preparations have you made for this?"

"Of course I have received strict fighting training, as well as military training. Now I am no longer a weak and weak woman, I am a weak woman who can master martial arts." Fan Bingbing replied playfully.

"Haha..." Unexpectedly, Fan Bingbing also made a joke. It seemed that she was in a good mood.

"Teacher Fan Bingbing, why are you so happy?"

"Because I will let people who look down on me suffer from not looking down on me. I am very happy to see him suffer such a loss, so I am very happy." Fan Bingbing said while pointing.

"Ha ha……"

……

"Edge of Tomorrow" has entered the production stage in an all-round way after it was launched. There is really no need to say too much about the creation. After all, everyone is professional, and it is enough to come out with professional standards.

What needs to be adjusted is to check over and over again in the scheduling to see if the director's requirements can be met, and the rest are not difficult.

As for how to make the model airplane fly, it is a simple matter that cannot be simpler. It only needs to be hoisted by a crane.

Well, there is really nothing to say about the filming process. I can’t write what I want to say, such as how to interact with Fan Bingbing.

In fact, what really caught He Fang's attention at this time was not how well his films were made, but another matter.

what's up?

Of course it was proposed by He Fang at the beginning of the year. This matter... has been going on for a long time.

Therefore, in December 2012, the legendary month of the end of the world, the "Regulations on New Regulations for the Development of the Film and Television Industry" were discussed and implemented.

Fortunately, many of the clauses have been silently tested by the General Administration, or have been prepared by the industry in advance.Therefore, when the real regulations come, everyone can still accept them.

Although some people actually have a small loss, it doesn't hurt.

Moreover, some crooked means have not been developed, so no one is really hurt, and there is no opposition from the market.

Just like the film and television financial regulations, illegal fundraising and crowdfunding are not allowed. Now there is no such industry, so no one will object.

Another example is this small fresh meat that is not packaged up to the standard. There is no behavior such as hype, packaging, attracting young fans and then cashing in on the Internet, so no one opposes it.

There is also a rule that the remuneration of film production stars should not exceed 30% of the total production budget. Although the market has complained about such a regulation, there are not many objections in general.Because there are no fan movies yet, and of course it cannot be said that there are none at all. Like the movies that everyone watches for Fan Bingbing, are they called fan movies?It's okay, but the fan movies mentioned here refer to those fan movies with high pay and low quality with no acting skills.

Including the issue of tax evasion by film and television companies, is there now?This is there.However, the regulations also provide regulations, that is, starting from January 2013, 1, all film and television projects must have a complete tax return form for the main creators, otherwise they will not be granted permission to release.

In other words, you can underreport secretly, as long as the higher-ups do not check, no one will know, but once it is checked, it is a deliberate concealment and failure to report.

Moreover, now only the main creator's tax is required to be reported.

Of course, there are associations that have to take on heavy responsibilities, and the association is no longer a place to sell dog meat like it used to be.

For example, if the Actors Association receives an actor’s report of unspoken rules or illegal matters, then the association must assist the actors to solve this problem. If the association does not solve the problem, then the film and television association has the right to dissolve the leadership team of the association.

Similarly, the Screenwriters Association is the same, it is necessary to safeguard the rights and interests of screenwriters, and ensure the copyright and right to profit of screenwriters.

When any film and television work involves unresolved association issues, the General Administration will not issue a release license until the procedures are complete and there is no dispute before the release license can be obtained.

This condition makes many production companies very unhappy, but... there is no way.

Some studios understood when someone explained it in private.

For example, this regulation does not allow actors to go against their will during the film and television project period other than being required by the crew to do multiple jobs.That is to say, in the crew, if you want to unspoken rules for actors, this will cause your film and television works to not be approved for release.

However, if it is outside of film and television projects, then it cannot be managed.For example, some actors usually have some improper relationship with directors or producers or other personnel.As long as it is not required by the power of the project, it has nothing to do with the association.

In fact, this is almost the case in Hollywood. Directors or producers in the crew will not use their power to unspoken rules for actors, because it is against the law.

However, after the film and television project is completed, you are free to go to parties and do whatever you want.

Then someone asked, what did the crew and the couple say?This cannot be prohibited. What if both parties are willing?
The regulations say that if an actor goes to the association to sue you, the association will take care of it.If both of you are willing, why would the actor sue?If you don't report it, you don't have to worry about it.

This kind of regulation is just a gentleman's agreement. If some actors are threatened or afraid of being excluded in the industry and dare not speak up, then this clause is tantamount to invalid.

But with such a clause, it can deter more than 90% of people from messing around, and the remaining 10% of people can deter actors, but if there is a day when it breaks out, then there will be no punishment.

There is a good saying: What is the greatest role of law?It is to deter most people from committing crimes and punish a small number of criminals.

Only when most people are deterred, the whole environment will be good as a whole.But it is impossible to completely eliminate violations, and no law can do it.

Even if the two major sects in the West have such strict dogmas, can't some people violate their rules?You can't stop a few criminal factions, you can only deter most people from committing crimes.

Of course, there are many other clauses that have not been listed one by one. Anyway, the entire regulation has made an unprecedented regulation on the film and television industry.

When the regulations spread throughout the film and television industry, most of them applauded, but only a few scolded them.

Especially for the practitioners at the bottom, these regulations are actually helping them, because only when the environment is fair can the bottom practitioners have the possibility of rising.

If the environment is unfair, all opportunities will only be seized by the rich and powerful first, then monopolized, and finally harvested by the bottom practitioners.

The actors and assistant directors of many production crews scold their mothers there, because they are the most damaged party. It can be said that they are at the forefront of power and sex transactions. The producers and directors may still choose, but they are not the one to pick.

The actors and assistant director scolded their mothers, so naturally the actors cheered, they finally didn't have to worry about being scared, and they could use their acting skills to take the role with peace of mind.

When this news reached He Fang, He Fang also heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not expect this to be done. Finally, the industry was finally regulated, and another chaotic situation in time and space would never happen again.

Now he can safely let the industry develop as he pleases. If someone calls marketization again, he will support it with both hands and feet, and don't be afraid to compete.

casual……

Fan Bingbing also saw this regulation, and then she seized the weak point and threatened: "According to this regulation, can I sue you?"

"...???" He Fang was confused, yes, now Fan Bingbing just needs to report to the association...

He Fang was in a cold sweat, this is probably the funniest thing, right?
"Well, Xiao Mian, dig a hole for yourself, I have never seen anyone who is more stupid than you. Are you confident that others will not sue you, or are you confident that you can be fair? Haha... finally let me see you doing stupid things It's time."

"..." He Fang is really flustered now, how could he have such a relationship with the actress during the crew?Isn't this cheating yourself.

"Cough, that, Miss Bing Bing, can you not sue?" He Fang hesitated.

"Come on, let's wait after my sister is done. Xiao Mian, look at me...haha...it's so cool."

"..." He Fang wanted to slap himself twice, so what can he do now, he has to serve.
