China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 269 Crisis can also be an opportunity, the ambitious He Fang is very ambitious

"He, don't pay attention to those extremists. They are persecuted and delusional. They always think that someone is coveting them, and they never thought of improving themselves through such competition."

"Since 08, the behavior of conservatives has become more and more worrying, and many of their ideas are worrying."

"This is an open and free America. He, don't be influenced by those trends of thought. Your movies are very good."

"Yes, I don't think He's movies are a threat. First of all, He's movies never attack the West, nor challenge the United States, and there is no other content to promote them. He just filmed some stories about oriental myths. , This is familiar to everyone, children like to watch it very much, how can this be a threat? Did the threat appear out of thin air? There must be a reason? Is it a threat because it got a good box office?"

"That's right, where is the threat? Is it just because it has a good box office? Isn't it okay to give global audiences a different viewing experience? Do you have to watch Hollywood blockbusters? Do you have to let Hollywood make all the money at the box office?"

"Some people in the United States are used to being overlords. Anyone who dares to touch their cake, no matter how big or small, they will suppress. This approach is too overbearing."

"The earth is the earth of people all over the world, not the earth of the United States. We can't shoot excellent traditional stories from other countries? Can't tell them? Shouldn't children in other countries learn about oriental legends?"

……

There was a wave of opposition to the New York Times article on the Internet. This matter was not only opposed by public opinion in the United States, but also became international news, with comments on the entertainment boards in many countries.

Of course, Paul Mozal’s criticisms are also endless, mainly because he mentioned the “existing cultural rules in the world dominated by the United States” and was criticized by people from many cultures, which means that the United States has the final say on culture, and people shoot a film. Is this traditional classic story also breaking the cultural rules dominated by the United States?This is just too gangster logic.

Before He Fang could say anything, many people started complaining.

At the same time, He Fang was also portrayed by the media as a person who "challenges the cultural rules dominated by the United States". For those who hate the United States, He Fang suddenly became a hero who dared to confront the world hegemony. This caused the box office of "The Origin of the White Snake" to usher in a small climax.

This really made He Fang never expect it. After realizing this new image, Zhang Qian was even more excited to call He Fang to see if he could market this image globally, because the benefits are obvious.

But He Fang has a different opinion.

"There is no need to deliberately market, but you can mention it frequently, and the method of mentioning should be low-key. If you deliberately market, you will really become a challenger to American cultural hegemony. This is an act of courting death. After all, the global maintenance There are not a few people with American cultural hegemony, not to mention foreign countries..."

"So jumping out and really challenging it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble. At this time, the best way is for us to publicly express that we have no intention of challenging this hegemony, and we have no ability to challenge this hegemony. Therefore, this is just an excellent traditional story. I hope Some extreme people should not exaggerate and interpret it excessively."

He Fang's words made the passionate Zhang Qian calm down, "He Fang, you are right, I almost prepared to... Heh, it is obvious that this is really an act of courting death. Alright, we will be in the global public opinion Show weakness on the field, but you will often mention that you are the first challenger to be regarded as cultural hegemony by the United States."

"That's right, let's do it." After hanging up Zhang Qian's phone call, He Fang lit a cigarette and took a puff with a vague smile on his lips.

He has to thank this Paul Mozart commentator for making him the hero of the global anti-American cultural hegemony. This is a resource that will have an effect in an increasingly polarized society in the future. .

Just like a certain old fairy, instead of promoting the integration between sects, he splits them, which makes him get a lot of support and resources from one of the sects.There is also Mr. Unreliable, who also gained a lot of support by means of confrontation and division, which made him gain the power to make the opposition frightened.

This is the world trend in the next few decades, and the confrontation and division will become more and more serious.If He Fang has such an identity subtly established from now on, and slowly gathers many opponents, then it may really be a boost in the future.

So he reinforced that in his interviews with reporters in Jakarta and Sydney.

"I don't understand why I have become a challenger of American-dominated cultural rules as a young director. I can't laugh or cry in the face of this accusation. I don't know whether to be honored or worried, because no one has ever been so accused. It's an honor, logically speaking."

"However, I have deep concerns. This is a statement that will seriously interfere with me personally. I solemnly protest against it. I have clearly done nothing bad, but I am defined as a challenger of the rules. In the future, others will follow me. Is it necessary to consider risks in cooperation? Is it true that I will be gradually isolated by some people around the world? This is actually a persecution of a director, and it is difficult for me to accept such a title.”

"Of course, I will continue to make better movies for everyone to watch. I hope that movies will not be overly politicized."

He Fang's showing of weakness in front of the media has won the support of many netizens, who have left messages of support under his twitter, and there are all kinds of languages ​​from all over the world.

At the same time, a domestic expert on international issues surnamed Jin also sighed online.

"Facing the accusation of the New York Times, I am afraid that there will be no less in the future. Today it is a director of China, tomorrow it may be a certain scholar, and the day after tomorrow it may be a certain entrepreneur or politician. The internal opinions of the United States began to Turn conservative, this point should pay attention to prevention.”

In fact, there are a large number of people with great wisdom in China. It is a pity that many people cannot hear their rational voices, because they are covered by the different voices of more big Vs. These big Vs are talking sarcastic, criticizing and warning. countless.

Ever since someone figured out that they can use the Internet to express different opinions, and can cultivate some big Vs to influence public opinion and guide directions, some people have cultivated a large number of such accounts.

They can gather together to criticize a certain thing or a certain person, so that the entire public opinion seems to be overwhelmingly in favor of a certain point of view.

Their specific remarks will not be shown one by one. Some people feel that this is deliberately slandering and discrediting some "those who dare to speak the truth".

Of course, in the face of such people, the team behind He Fang is not a vegetarian. They all raise big V. In the past two years or so, Tuanhuo culture has also raised some.

This public opinion field is really not a simple information gathering and distributing center, but a battlefield for the right to speak, which is in chaos.

For ordinary people, no matter how the big Vs on the Internet criticize or praise He Fang, they only have one feeling: 'He Fang is the person named and criticized by the United States, he is awesome, he is a hero'.

On February 2, the crew of "The Origin of the White Snake" ended their global promotional activities and returned to China.

At this time, the domestic box office of "The Origin of the White Snake" has reached 12.48 billion yuan, and the global box office has reached 5.2 million US dollars. It was really stimulated by the "New York Times" article.

However, He Fang will not stay in China for long, he will fly to the United States immediately, and "Dallas Buyers Club" is waiting to start.

After changing planes in Hong Kong, He Fang flew back to Changsha alone, and the others flew back to the capital.

Now the Huanghua Airport in Changsha has also become a place for many media reporters to squat, because many crews will come to Huying Film and Television City to film, and sometimes they can meet many international crews.

The main reason is that He Fang's several films have sold well at the international box office. Everyone knows that the post production of Huying Group is very cheap, and the studio is very professional. Why not save money?
For this purpose, Huying Group has set up an international department to receive international crews.

This makes many film and television cities in China very envious, and it also makes many film groups very envious. Huying Group has made its business international. Can you not be envious?
Obviously film is a weak industry in China, a backward industry, and only we go to others to learn from or produce. Now it has been industrialized by Huying Group, and it has become a dominant industry.

Not only the domestic film and television peers are envious, but people in other provinces are also envious. Hunan has created an international industry without any effort. How can this not be enviable?
Because the arrival of international crews not only boosts the development of Changsha's film and television industry, but also adds a lot to the internationalization of Mango TV, because they can often invite many international stars.

It has also added a lot of color to the international promotion of the city of Changsha, and has also attracted many domestic factories and manufacturers in the film and television industry.

Now Huying Group intends to create an international film and television forum. Isn’t it that international film crews often come here, so it will organize everyone to communicate, learn and progress, and this will have a new attraction.

This point is He Fang's idea, it's just an exchange forum now, and the next step may be a film festival.

A film festival that focuses on technological progress, rather than simply discussing the artistic value of ideas.He Fang knows that the Oscars are getting more and more correct, and they will decline more and more in the future. We don’t know if it will be successful if we launch a film festival similar to the Oscars that is not affected by the correctness. He Fang is not sure about this, but he can try. do it.

These are all future development plans. He Fang's ambition is very big. It is not enough to build a film and television base that can produce blockbuster special effects.

Why don't you want to circle the market when you have a product?With the market, why don't you want to circle the industry?With the industry, can't we attract talents?If you have talents, why don't you want to build the platform into a place where everyone can benefit from it?
When some people are de-globalizing in the future, and cultures are divided and divided, some filmmakers who do not want to be affected by these divisions need a pure platform. If the Lake Film Group happens to build this platform very well good……

Hey, I don't know what the effect will be?

……

"He Fang is going back to Changsha today, hurry up and stop him at the airport." Suddenly a message appeared in the reporter's WeChat group.

"Really?" Someone asked.

"He Fang's assistant and Zhang Qian are both picking up people at Huanghua Airport, plus the news that the crew of "The Origin of the White Snake" has ended its global promotion, so who is it if He Fang is not back? Even if not, the person Zhang Qian picks up is worth interviewing Wave."

"Wow, what time is the plane? I'm going now..."

"I'll go as well……"

"Go together..."

He Fang had already been harassed on the plane. After he was recognized, everyone on the plane asked him to sign and take photos with him. They even collected a lot of notes with phone numbers in their pockets.

Several first-class people next to him chatted with He Fang all the way. They are all executives of various companies, and there are also a small number of leaders.

After getting off the plane, He Fang went through the VIP channel. He just didn't want any more spectators to watch, but these reporters were also very ghostly, so he didn't need to stare at He Fang, just stare at Tong Weidong and Zhang Qian.

So when He Fang came out, many reporters surrounded him.

He Fang asked Zhang Qian with a puzzled face, did he bring these people?

Zhang Qian spread his hands, saying that he was not the one he brought.

"Director He Fang, the box office of the film has exceeded 12 billion. How much box office do you think "The Origin of the White Snake" will eventually get?"

"Director He Fang, with regard to the New York Times' comments, domestic public opinion is criticizing you for not challenging the cultural hegemony of the United States. What do you think of this matter?"

"Director He Fang, I heard that you have caused a huge shock in Vietnam. What do Asian movie fans think of Chinese movies?"

"Director He Fang..."

Countless questions came flooding in...
