China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 267 Want to test with a young model?He Fang is a good man
As soon as the crew of "The Origin of the White Snake" arrived at the hotel, the waiter trotted over to open the door and shouted "Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai". He Fang smiled and immediately gave out a red envelope.At this time, Wang Jing, Tsui Hark, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and many other famous directors and actors greeted him, and they all wished He Fang a new year.

"Wow, thank you so much, I didn't expect everyone to be here." He Fang clasped his fists to everyone after paying New Year's greetings.

"Haha, thank you, don't Chinese people have to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year? This is to come and visit relatives, go, go, go, you go to check in first, and then come down to the third floor to get together and chat .” Jackie Chan is still the best at talking, after all, he also hangs around a lot in the mainland.

"Okay, seniors, then you wait on the third floor first, and I will come over in 10 minutes." He Fang smiled.

"Okay, go get busy."

After He Fang greeted everyone, they went to check in, went to the room to put down their luggage, took a shower, changed clothes, and then went downstairs.

As for Fan Bingbing and the others, they just changed their clothes and put on their makeup. It was too late to take a shower, because once a woman took off her makeup and then touched it up, it would take more than an hour.

A hall on the third floor was reserved, the waiter pushed open the door, and there were no more than a hundred people sitting inside, which surprised He Fang, probably all the Hong Kong filmmakers who wanted to go north had come.

In other words, filmmakers who still have a good impression of the mainland, or want to make money in the mainland, have come.

"Director He, Happy New Year." Immediately, the audience cheered loudly and clasped their fists together.

He Fang was taken aback, and suddenly felt as if he represented the boss from the mainland and came to meet with the insiders in Hong Kong.

"Everyone, happy new year, you are too polite. Earlier, my elder brother said that this is the Chinese New Year. Come to relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings, but your momentum is like going to a village in Guangdong, where all the people from a family come. It's hilarious, I like it very much, haha..."

"Come, come, come, Director He, sit here, sit here." Jackie Chan pulled He Fang and moved to the first place.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother, although I am young, I also know that this seat is not for me. I am not qualified regardless of age or seniority. If you want to do this, it will make me impolite. I will sit On the side, I sit on the side..."

Under He Fang's insistence, he wasn't so stupid for not taking the first place.

"Come on, Director Ho, let's have a drink first. Here we welcome Director Ho to Hong Kong. We Hong Kong filmmakers wish Director Ho a big hit at the box office and strive for a global box office of one billion US dollars." Zeng Zhiwei stood up and raised his hand. Cup said.

"I wish Director He's new movie a big hit, with a global box office of one billion dollars." Everyone shouted, how the hell is this like the gangster movie in "Young and Dangerous".

"Ha, thank you, thank you all, it's done." He Fang raised his glass and drank the wine together with Fan Bingbing and others beside him.

"Next, let He Fang say a few words for us, okay?" Zeng Zhiwei said loudly.

"it is good."

He Fang smiled wryly and shook his head, then stood up.

"Well, I really didn't prepare, and I didn't expect to get together with you today. I don't know what to say. If I insist on finding a topic, I still want to talk about the development and cooperation of Chinese films."

"Anyone who knows the mainland knows that mainlanders like to look at issues from a historical perspective and a developmental perspective, and look at many issues from the past and future trends. Today I also venture to talk about this issue of Chinese films from this aspect. "

"Before, many people separated Hong Kong films from mainland films, and even in the policies of many countries in the world, they also separated mainland films from Hong Kong films. However, I believe that more and more people will separate Hong Kong films and Taiwanese films. And mainland movies will be classified under Chinese movies, why? Because this matter is irreversible."

"How do you specifically say irreversibility? The first irreversibility is that the subject is irreversible, because Hong Kong will never return to the colonial era, which means that Hong Kong will always be a part of China in the future, which means that Hong Kong films are also a part of Chinese films. "

"This is irreversible, and it will only become more and more integrated. Although some countries and regions still separate Hong Kong films from mainland films, this is only temporary, for more than ten or twenty years at most, and in the eyes of everyone in the future, these will be Chinese films. .”

"The second irreversibility is the irreversibility of the export of Chinese culture mainly in mainland China. There are two main reasons for this irreversibility. One is that China's 5000-year-old profound heritage is unique in the world. Such a cultural charm is not Whoever wants to be obliterated can be obliterated. Second, with the development and rise of China, there will be three mainstream cultures in the world in the future, one is Western culture, the other is Chinese culture, and the third is other cultures.”

"Therefore, the trend of global audiences accepting Chinese culture is irreversible, and it is irreversible for Chinese culture to go global."

"Some people may be worried, does that mean that Hong Kong's film culture will be eliminated in the future, and we will be swallowed up by the mainland? I think those who worry about this are not looking at history objectively, nor looking at the future with a developmental perspective."

"Hong Kong movie culture cannot be destroyed, because Hong Kong movies have already planted seeds among many audiences. As long as people continue to make Hong Kong movies, audiences will continue to pay for it. Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, you don't play yourself dead, if that's the case, then no one can do anything about it."

"Since the future trend is that in the general environment of Chinese films, mainland films and Hong Kong films will be the same, so how to make mainland films and Hong Kong films 1+1>2? Let the two parties cooperate more closely and compete internationally. stronger?"

"Therefore, there are two problems at present, one is the decline of Hong Kong films, and the other is the problem that the mainland's film technology, talents and industry cannot keep up with the pace of international film development. If we both work together to solve these two problems If so, then our development will not lose to Hollywood."

"Before I cooperated with director Wang Jing as one of the solutions to the decline of Hong Kong films, using the mainland market to support the development of Hong Kong films. However, apart from market problems, Hong Kong films also have their own problems, such as remakes, follow-ups and Regarding the issue of piracy, this is a policy that your association will formulate.”

"There is also the problem of not strictly adhering to the producer-centered production and filming. You replace the standard creation with on-site creation, which will lead to a decline in the success rate. I won't say much about this, it's a cliché."

"The last question is the shortage of Hong Kong film talent. How many of the new generation of Hong Kong filmmakers can show up in blockbuster films? Anyway, I haven't seen many. In the long run, there have been no talents. 20 years later, you old filmmakers are still supporting it?"

"That's all for now, I said that I sincerely hold the mentality of developing together with Hong Kong movies to chat with you and even cooperate with you. I told reporters at the airport that 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 the God of the West. Therefore, in the next cooperation, we will pursue as much as possible Some of them are successful, but if there are some unsuccessful ones, I hope some people who read jokes and gloat will not say some weird words there."

"Similarly, let me tell you this. We all win-win cooperation and face problems together. If you don't cooperate, please don't hold back, because when Chinese film develops, no matter whether you participate in it or not, you will actually be involved. are the beneficiaries."

"Okay, that's all for now. Everyone, come on, let's make a toast, let us start a new journey of Chinese films from 2013, and bring mainland films and Hong Kong films to a new level. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

……

He Fang's words may be deafening, but they are sincere, and he really thinks about Chinese movies, at least what he said is very beautiful.

As for the final result, whether Hong Kong movies continue to decline or not has nothing to do with who.

"Director He, well said, we don't have as many theories as you, nor do you have such profound thoughts to look at problems from two aspects of history and development, but I think we agree with the problems and methods you mentioned. I also think this is also beneficial to us. Therefore, I would like to thank Director He for saying so much good advice for Hong Kong films in such a difficult situation, and for doing practical things to help Hong Kong films. On behalf of Hong Kong filmmakers, I would like to thank Director He, Come on, let's have a toast to Director He," Zeng Zhiwei said.

"Regardless Director He!"

……

Next, I chatted with everyone about some movie cooperation plans, and some actors who can speak some Mandarin came to get to know him, but those who couldn't speak Mandarin could only simply say hello and then couldn't continue the chat.

The party ended at 02:30 in the morning. Hong Kong filmmakers seem to be used to this rhythm. After all, many filmmakers live in American time, sleeping during the day and busy late at night.

A strange mixed-race young model knocked on He Fang's door after he returned to his room. He looked through his cat's eyes, pretended not to know, and went back to sleep directly.

It's not that he doesn't like this kind of thing, but that his crew is here, and so many colleagues and paparazzi in Hong Kong are staring at him, how dare he play?If something happened, it would be a big embarrassment.

Next time, let's talk about it when there are not so many people watching and it is convenient.

As soon as He Fang woke up at 08:30 the next morning, after washing up, he still sat down to light a cigarette and drink a cup of coffee, and then began to watch the box office of the second year of junior high school and the news about "The Origin of the White Snake".

In the mainland box office of the second year of junior high school, "The Origin of the White Snake" won 14253 million, which is 1.42 million, and "Tai囧" won 9051 million.

The domestic media called "The Origin of the White Snake" and "Tai囧" a combination of laughing and crying during the Spring Festival. One is heartbroken with laughter, and the other is moved to death.

Anyway, now that the crew of "Tai囧" is booming in domestic promotion, Tian Yuyu will never let go of the enthusiasm, repeatedly shouting how close we are to "The Origin of the White Snake", and how close we are to defeating Fang Fang.

After watching the box office in the mainland, I saw that the box office in North America was a bit unsatisfactory. In the west, it is the first working day, so the box office is almost cut off, and only 631 million US dollars in box office.

Except for North America, the box office in other parts of the world is 1754 million US dollars, which is not bad. Well, it is the second best film and television work of "Legend of the White Snake" besides "Legend of the New White Snake".

Therefore, the global box office on the second day of the Lunar New Year won 4647 million US dollars, which is not bad.

"Director, you don't even open the door for such a beautiful little sister? Is she really Liu Xiahui?" Fan Bingbing teased He Fang just after He Fang arrived at the restaurant and sat at the crew's table.

"Huh??? What do you mean?" He Fang was puzzled.

"What do you mean? Hong Kong newspapers have reported that after you returned to your room last night, a young model named Kai Rui knocked on your door, but you didn't open the door. Look, such a good figure, It’s still a mixed race, tsk tsk, I’m so moved by reading it, what a pity.” Fan Bingbing said as he handed a newspaper to He Fang.

"..." He Fang was stunned for a moment, thankfully, fortunately, he has a strong sense of prevention, otherwise he would have made headlines.

Of course, in addition to the photo of the young model knocking on the door of He Fang's room on the front page of the entertainment, and the transcript of his speech at the party last night, the full text was published. Do things for the paparazzi.

"I'm a good man, I don't care about this kind of mess, hurry up and have breakfast, I'm busy today." He Fang threw the newspaper away and said pretendingly.

"Well, he is indeed a good man..." Fan Bingbing looked at He Fang meaningfully, and then ate breakfast on his own.
