China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 266
Under the misty night, what happened in the depths of the water?No one knows, but from the sound of the water splashing, it can be heard that some serious struggle must have taken place.

At about three o'clock in the ugly hour, He Fang returned to the room from the hot spring pool quite exhausted, glanced at the domestic box office for the second day before falling asleep, and was so tired.

At the domestic box office on February 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year, "The Origin of the White Snake" still ranked first, reaching 10 million yuan, or 12318 million yuan.

The second-ranked "Lost in Thailand" has a box office of 5379 million yuan, which is a good performance.

As for the following "Better and Better Village Night" 800 million, "Love Is Not NG" 164 million, and "Paris Rascals" 31.5, these few movies are basically negligible.

The basic pattern of the Spring Festival file is that "The Origin of the White Snake" is the only one, and "Tai囧" is not bad.

When He Fang had a deep sleep and woke up at [-]:[-] the next morning, he felt revived again. He believed that his ability to deal with the three people in the hot spring pool last night was absolutely different. .

After washing up, he lit a cigarette, made a cup of coffee, and carefully looked at the global box office data for the next day.

In China, he already knows, 1.23 million, mainly looking at the box office in North America on Sunday... 1211 million, heh, anyway, it is just over 1000 million, and the final total box office is estimated to be over [-] million.

In other words, He Fang's box office appeal in North America is only over [-] million, and it will be difficult to increase it for a while.

This is the upper limit of a non-Hollywood director, there is no way, after all, you are an outsider, if you can't make it, you can't make it.

In fact, looking at it this way, it is really a win-win situation for Fox to find someone to shoot "X-Men".Fox needs He Fang to raise the total box office of "X-Men", and He Fang needs "X-Men" to raise his upper limit in the North box office.

Looking at the box office in other regions of the world, the total is 3027 million, and East Asia and Southeast Asia accounted for 1341 million, which is not bad.

On the second day, the global box office earned 6193 million US dollars, which is already very good, surpassing many international big directors.

However, this is because the Chinese market is so strong, just like in another time and space, some domestic films rely on the box office in the domestic market and can reach the top five or top ten in the global annual box office without going abroad.

A box office of 45 billion in the Chinese market is waiting for a box office of more than 7 million U.S. dollars. Does this still need to hit the global market?Many Hollywood movies have less than $7 million in box office worldwide.

"The First Day of the Spring Festival [The Origin of the White Snake] Won $6193 Million at the Box Office Worldwide"

"He Fang has proven himself with blockbuster films in succession, he is the well-deserved No. [-] director in China and No. [-] director in Asia"

"[White Snake Origin] Global Word of Mouth and Ratings"

"[The Origin of the White Snake] Art and Business Are Flying Together, Let's Look at the Feedback from Directors and Critics from Various Countries"

"[The Origin of the White Snake] Let the Chinese Painting Style and Classic Chinese Love Stories Spread Around the World"

"[White Snake Origin] Disseminator of Chinese Culture"

……

"He Sang, the president of our Dongbao Film Club would like to invite you to dinner." When He Fang and the others just left the hotel, a man in a suit greeted He respectfully.

He Fang was stunned for a moment, "I'm sorry, I'm not free today, I have arranged activities all day, and then I have to fly to Hong Kong at night. How about next time, next time I come to the island country, I will definitely thank you for your support."

He Fang refused, because he really didn't have time, and he didn't know what to talk to these people about.

What are you talking about?Accept the offer from the island nation to become one of them?Why don't the good Chinese do it, and become the second leg of the Americans?
Citizens of a superpower go to an island country attached to a small island?He couldn't figure out where the logic was.

To be honest, this is a question that he has lived two lifetimes without thinking about what those traitors attached to the island country think.

The nationals of a big country are not suitable to be the second leg of an island country. The key is that this island country is still semi-colonized by the United States.

He is half short in front of the islanders, and even short in front of the Americans, while being a Chinese can look at the Americans at the same level.

So, where is the logic?

Anyway, He Fang didn't want to understand.

If you want to say it is for money, it is understandable, but who would betray their ancestors for money?How much does it cost to do such a thing?
Or what kind of belief did the islanders give to a Chinese to do this kind of thing?

It's like an African convincing an American to be his slave. It's magical.

Of course, maybe they just want to cooperate with someone?For example, cooperation in movies, what kind of co-productions?

Who doesn't believe this? How many Chinese people have been brainwashed into traitors step by step by the so-called cooperation and cultural exchanges of the island countries?
Regardless of whether this person's thinking is extreme or maliciously speculates on others, he does not trust the islanders.Unless one day the Chinese army is stationed in this island country, and all the people of this island country write Chinese characters and speak Chinese, then he will believe that the people here are sincerely cooperating with him.

Faced with He Fang's refusal to come, the person was surprised, took a deep look at He Fang, forced a smile and nodded.

"Hi, I'll pass it on to our president, sorry to bother you."

The man bowed respectfully and left.

"Director, will it be okay if you refuse?" Fan Bingbing asked cautiously.

"I believe it won't happen for a while, and I won't know for a long time. Don't worry about it, let's go."

He Fang waved his hand.

He doesn't care about the future now. In his opinion, he is ready to lose the Japanese, Korean and Taiwan markets at any time, because he deeply understands that these three markets are difficult.

As the New Year's confrontation becomes more serious, his movies will become more and more difficult to enter.

Since it will be lost sooner or later, there is no fighting for it.

Because fighting is meaningless, it cannot be won by him alone, it is a split of will between countries, and it is useless for him to be friendly to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

When I came to the event site, it happened that a movie was over. Under the introduction of the host, the audience applauded and cheered.

"Dou Geyou Luo Minasa, I'm sorry for the bad Si (friends in Tokyo, long time no see)." He Fang still threw out a sentence in Japanese, and he was still very attentive to the fans of the island country.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Are you satisfied with the movie?" He Fang asked.

"Sigaoyi (so powerful)."

"Huh?" He Fang was taken aback for a moment, why did he hear this word in a small movie?
Simple communication, the fans of the island country did not ask why the island country cannot make such films, because the number of films in the island country is different, they do not pay attention to live-action blockbusters and live-action commercial films, and their blockbuster and commercial films are completely open to foreign films .

The island master makes animation movies, and there are also blockbuster movies in the anime, such as "Godzilla", "One Piece", "Naruto", etc., and the main live-action movie is a realistic story about social reflection.

They don't pursue any live-action blockbusters. His culture is selling anxiety, rules, and crisis awareness to each of them.

They asked where they asked more about personal life questions, such as what they like.

One advantage of the islanders is that they are not as aggressive as the Koreans. They will be gentle and polite, hiding all their tricks behind their backs, so dealing with the islands is at least superficially gentle and comfortable.

However, they were also very indifferent, like... He Fang and the others saw a collapsed man shouting and crying in the street after they left the theater, but no one cared about him, treating him as air.

Because each of them is under pressure, the superiors of the island country keep telling them that they are under pressure now for the future of the nation, and being servants now is for the future...

"You mean he refused?" Hideyuki Takai, the president of Toho Pictures, asked with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, he said that he is not free. The day's activities are arranged and he has to fly to Hong Kong in the evening, so I will ask you out next time." The man replied truthfully.

"Sanada-kun is right, this person is incurable. That's enough, ignore him, now is not the time to touch him." Takai Hideyuki waved his hand as if he didn't care, but in fact he cared a lot. He heard that this person sabotaged them in China. Layout.

The crew of "The Origin of the White Snake" left Tokyo that night, and then flew directly to Hong Kong. Nothing interesting or unexpected happened here, it was normal.

It's just that after the crew of "The Origin of the White Snake" landed in Hong Kong, the reporters had already been waiting at the airport, even late at night, so don't doubt their professionalism.

Therefore, He Fang and the others were surrounded by reporters as soon as they left the airport.

"Director He Fang, Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai." Then the reporters stretched out their hands to ask for red envelopes.

"Ah?" He Fang was taken aback. He had forgotten about the red envelope in Japan and South Korea for the past two days.

Fortunately, he was prepared to give red envelopes. Although each red envelope is not much money, just a few red notes in RMB, but for the sake of happiness, Hong Kong people do not ask much for red envelopes.

"Director He Fang, why is there no Taiwan Province in your film's Asian promotion? Are you not dealing with fans of Taiwan Province?"

Upon hearing this, it was a reporter from the Taiwanese media stationed in Hong Kong.

"You're wrong, I'm just at odds with the media in Taiwan, not with movie fans in Taiwan." He Fang denied, shaking his right index finger.

"Then why do you have to deal with the Taiwanese media?"

"You have to ask the media in Taiwan about this. Why are you asking me? They said they won't report a word about my movie or my information in the future, so why should I go?"

He Fang took out a cigarette from his pocket and went to the smoking area to light one. He also sat on the plane for several hours and hadn't smoked yet, so he was choked up.

"Director He, because of the successful case of Wang Jing's cooperation with you, the Hong Kong film industry is now looking forward to cooperating with you. Will you continue to increase cooperation?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, the cooperation with director Wang Jing is a good start. However, what I want to say is that not all cooperations will be very successful. If one cooperation is successful, then I will be a god. Therefore, In the next cooperation, we will pursue as much success as possible, but if there is any failure, I hope that some people who read jokes and gloat will stop talking about yin and yang."

He Fang said with certainty.

"Can't you even question it?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, it's up to you. However, when others are working hard to contribute to Hong Kong movies, there are people who keep making sarcastic remarks there, and then stir up the public's emotions. If you Hong Kong people can't tell the difference, just It will be used by others to destroy the development of Hong Kong films."

He Fang took two long puffs of cigarette as he spoke.

"Hong Kong is a place where public opinion is open. We allow everyone to speak, and it's normal if someone speaks badly." A reporter retorted.

"I know, after learning from the West, freedom of speech. Whatever you want, I just said a few words to prepare for a rainy day. If the cooperation is not so successful in the future, I am ready to be scolded by your Hong Kong media."

After He Fang finished speaking, he took two more puffs of his cigarette, then put it out and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Director He Fang, can we take a photo with some actresses, we have to eat too." A reporter stood in front of He Fang.

"I lost it, do you mean that I cooperate with you to stir up scandals? How can this be? Have you paid me?" He Fang scolded with a smile.

"It's okay, 100 million Hong Kong dollars, can you take off all your clothes and lie on the bed with a few actresses?" A reporter asked.

"..." He Fang was speechless, someone really paid for his scandal photos, "Do you think I'm short of that 100 million?"

"Hey, although you are a rich man, 100 million is just a few photos. If you don't make money, you don't make money, right..."

He Fang waved his hand, ignored them and left.

The reporters hurriedly snapped pictures with 'Ka Ka Ka Ka...'. This group of people... probably could do a lot of extraordinary things for money.

Fortunately, Fan Bingbing and the others got into the car early, if asked by the reporter to ask them to take off all their clothes and take pictures with He Fang on the bed, I don't know what their expressions would be.

If it's for filmmaking, for art... I haven't tried it.

"Director He, where have you been? Come to the hotel quickly, we are here to treat you to supper." The call was from Wang Jing, and He was confused when he heard it.

"Supper? Ah, it's late, it's late..."

"We're holding a party on the third floor of your collapsed hotel. Let's have a drink and chat together." Wang Jing said.

"Oh, that's no problem, who is there?"

"Well... everything that should come has come."

"What do you mean that everything that should come has come?"

"You'll know when you get there."
