China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 270 Leonardo Really Lost Weight
"The final domestic box office?" He Fang saw that he couldn't escape, so he simply took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to answer questions

"In terms of the final domestic box office, I estimate it should be around 18 billion, and 20 billion is the target."

"As you said that some people in China criticized me because of the New York Times article, I don't think I need to explain what they stand for. A Chinese director who has done nothing wrong and is criticized by others, their first thought is not Defending my own people, but choosing to criticize me, should this be speaking for the Americans?

If someone can go to Twitter and look at some of the comments in the United States on this matter, they will know that the United States treats me better than they treat me.I am really confused about this, why I was slandered by others, first the Americans defended me, and then the media from other countries in the world defended me, and it was our domestic media and people who criticized me.

Excuse me, can anyone tell me what this is?why?Are our media and those internet big Vs the sounding boards of The New York Times in China?Are they paid at The New York Times? "

He Fang is really speechless to some people, but this is a complicated matter, and he cannot change this phenomenon with his personal strength.

"You said that the warm welcome we received in Vietnam is true. We have the feeling of an international superstar, not only Vietnamese fans, but also in this ten-city promotion. Everywhere we go, we are received by local fans. welcome and love.

Moreover, fans in Asia generally support and love our films, which shows that the thousands of years of Confucian culture has a deep influence in Asia, and they have a high degree of recognition of Chinese films. "

……

The interview He Fang accepted was quickly spread on the Internet, and there were also huge discussions on the Internet.

"He Fang is right. Why are most of the American and Western people and most of the other international media supporting He Fang and criticizing the narrow behavior of the New York Times against He Fang, but domestic public opinion has massive criticisms? What did He Fang do wrong? Are they paid by The New York Times, or are they doing it for some personal purpose?"

"Some people don't want to see the Chinese make some achievements. As long as the Chinese make some achievements, they are more anxious than their masters. What kind of twisted mentality is this? I really don't understand."

"The quality of netizens is getting lower and lower. In the past, everyone was rational when arguing about something online, but now it's all hostile and aggressive."

"Lord, I agree with what you said. I think there are two reasons. One is that the threshold for accessing the Internet is getting lower and lower, so many people with low education come in. In the past, only college students and elites went online. , so everyone is relatively rational, communication is communication, and differences will be tolerated. However, now you see, netizens on the Internet will curse and slander if they are wrong.

The second is that because the Internet has become a new powerhouse of public opinion, many forces are eyeing the interests of this one dollar, so everyone is fishing in troubled waters to grab their own interests.In order to grab profits, everyone has exhausted all means, and all kinds of indiscretions have come, so it's a mess..."

"Well, don't worry about it. He Fang, a great director who brought Chinese films to the world and has done so many things for Chinese films, is scolded like that all day long. They are too rampant."

……

Do you think it was He Fang who didn't want to fight back?Of course not, he also has a team, but his team can only target those big Vs, and then report ordinary scolders.But there are so many online accounts, how can it be managed, so the ones who should be scolded are still scolding.

He Fang returned home and rested for a few days, went to the company to chat with Zhang Qian and other company management about the company's affairs, and also learned about the post-production of several films in production, as well as the arrangement of new films.

The company will open eleven films in 2013, He Fang has three, the company has signed five directors, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" will start in April, and Wang Jing has a "Young and Dangerous: The New Order of Jianghu" ", and "Ready Player One" with Feng Xiaogang.

In addition, Guo Xiaohua from Shining Star Company approached He Fang and asked him if he had any new variety shows coming out.

He Fang thought about it for a while, how many variety shows does Shining Star have now?
"The Voice of China", "If You Are the One", "Where's Dad?", "Running Man", "Informal Talks", "Happy Comedian", basically all the variety shows that make money are in his hands, what else? Variety show?
"Extreme Challenge"? "The Birth of an Actor"? "The Masked Singer"? "I'm a singer"? "Tucao Conference"?If you catch all of these... Wouldn't it be unkind?
But "Extreme Challenge" is fine, it is suspected of plagiarizing the Korean variety show "Infinite Challenge", "The Birth of an Actor" and "I Am a Singer" are okay, but let's not rush it, wait until next year.

Originally, he didn't know many variety shows well. If he showed them all at once, he wouldn't have anything to play in the future.

Now these six variety shows of Shining Star Company generate an astonishing amount of turnover each year. The advertising fee alone is 35 billion a year, not counting other income. These variety shows can help several major TV stations earn a year. earned a lot.

Everyone is looking forward to why there will be another batch of variety shows, and they can't wait to have good variety shows one after another throughout the year, so as to make money.

But there are only 12 months in a year, and now the six variety shows have basically been divided up, but everyone still feels that it is not enough.

Let's take it easy, when these six variety shows are on fire, we can't let other variety shows share the heat.

The popularity of these variety shows will not fade in the past ten years, a proper cash cow.

After talking about work in Changsha, paying New Year's greetings to key local leaders, I went to the film and television city to watch the later stages of related movies and the preparations for new movies.

He also told Zhang Qian to keep up with the progress of "Operation Mekong". He Fang told Zhang Qian that he must try to start the film in September and not delay it.

Zhang Hanyu, Wu Jing, and Pan Zhilin have already been selected as the leading actors, and Zhang Qian and the others are allowed to choose the others. Don't keep saying that He Fang's movie will not give opportunities. This kind of opportunity will definitely be given. It depends on whether some actors can endure hardship.

The reason why He Fang had to go back to Changsha and arrange so many things was because he would not come back until July after going to the United States.Because "Dallas Buyers Club" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" were filmed consecutively, there was no chance to come back halfway.

So, after making all these arrangements, He Fang couldn't even spend the Lantern Festival in Changsha. The United States was really pressing, and the two dramas were about to start, so there were a lot of things...

On the 24th, He Fang boarded a flight to New York, USA, and then transferred to New Orleans in New York.

"Dallas Buyers Club" was filmed here, why was it filmed here?I don't know, He Fang doesn't know, because it was introduced by Du Chunsheng when he bought the project, saying that they had checked it.

Since everyone has a mature site selection and has been inspected, why change it?
And New Orleans is an interesting place, not because of the fried chicken... but because of the beautiful scenery that is filmed here.

For example, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "12 Years a Slave", and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn 2"...

But the reason why there are so many beautiful views here is that it is sparsely populated, and the population here has declined sharply since the Katrina attack in 2005.Who wants to live in a place that is hit by hurricanes every year?The point is that no one has rescued them yet.

Obviously, after arriving in New York and changing planes, He Fang thought that no one knew him, so when he flew to New Orleans Airport, he did not put on any disguise.As a result, he was sought after by enthusiastic movie fans, and many of them are still encouraging him.

"He, don't listen to the nonsense of that man named Paul. My children like your movie very much. They like "The Monkey King" and "White Snake". Traditional Chinese stories are very interesting."

"Thank you. With your love, I think my work is worth it. Thank you very much."

"Oh my God, what a nice guy, why is that damn Paul trying to suppress it?"

……

Of course, besides the people who can say good things, there are also enthusiastic stewardesses, who kept hooking his palms, and even induced him again and again...

Forget it, He Fang gave up doing this on the plane with someone he didn't know well.

After getting off the plane at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, Du Chunsheng and Leonardo came. Leonardo... really lost weight, but not to the extent He Fang wanted. The two gave He Fang a big hug Then got into the car.

"Leonardo, you still need to continue the reduction." He Fang said bluntly.

"Of course, there are still so many days, don't worry, I will perfectly meet the requirements when the shooting starts." Leonardo promised.

"Well, I believe you, at least I have seen significant results." He Fang nodded, "What's special about New Orleans?"

"Features? Hmm..." Leonardo thought for a while.

"Of course it doesn't include New Orleans fried chicken." He Fang laughed, and then all three of them laughed.

Because New Orleans fried chicken is not named because the delicacy originated here, but because the fried chicken uses a New Orleans marinade.

"French architecture? Homosexuals? This is a paradise for homosexuals. Gay equality here is done very well, and they have the same rights as normal couples. Striptease? It is also a major feature here. And... the casino? The Harrah's Casino here There are very famous ones. There seems to be nothing else, what characteristics do you want to know?" Leonardo asked.

"Okay, I understand." What He Fang meant meant that he understood why the crew of another time and space had to choose a scene here. This place has most of the male protagonist's needs, such as gambling, homosexuality, striptease and so on.

"What do you want to play?" Leonardo asked again.

"No, I just want to know more about this place. Next, you have to continue your weight loss plan, and I'm going to see the location to be filmed, and other things. I hope we can finish the filming smoothly and quickly, so that You can recover your body sooner."

"Well, I thought you wanted to play something." Leonardo smiled mysteriously.

He Fang shrugged and smiled wryly.

Some things cannot be avoided when you come to the United States, especially when rich people come here. The moral and legal constraints that you have to follow in China are not here.

For example, in the eyes of the Chinese, Ukraine is a very smart and respectable nation and country, but in the eyes of the Americans... um, they are just playthings and tools, so they bought some Ukrainian women for fun to the island.They have no morals, only to satisfy their own desires willfully.

Even their open play makes all this legal, so they don't have to be accused and criticized by the public and public opinion.

That night, the crew held a small party, mainly to welcome He Fang.Some local artists and politicians from New Orleans also came. Anyway, they don't know each other, but Leonardo knows them.

After all, this is the territory of the Democratic Party, and Leonardo is a member of the Democratic Party.That night, the mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrio, also came to welcome He Fang. After all, as the mayor of the United States, if he could get some crews to promote the local area, it would be a political achievement.

Mickey Landrio and Leonardo are acquaintances, so after Leonardo called some Victoria's Secret models...all understand.

He Fang is not reserved, he is really exciting, no wonder rich people like to come to such a place, it is indeed free and open enough.

People who have no concentration can easily get lost in the United States. There are beauties from all races in the world, and there is freedom to indulge human nature, and those who have no moral constraints can treat people as human beings...

I heard that voodoo in New Orleans is very popular. I heard that voodoo is actually a very controversial religion, especially the divination and other rituals of voodoo are very mysterious, so... some mysterious behaviors are taken for granted.

This is what Mitch Landrio told He Fang. He also mysteriously told He Fang that if he wanted to try a mysterious behavior, he could arrange it.

Although He Fang doesn't have so much moral and cleanliness, and he won't pretend that he doesn't play this or that, he is a scumbag to begin with.However, he would not dare to let him get involved with some organizations that are rumored to be cults.

In fact, many stars in Hollywood have been involved in cult organizations, such as Alison Mack, who was tricked into being a sex slave in a cult. The most famous one is Tom Cruise, who was invited by his wife Joined 'Scientology'...

Therefore, we must be vigilant about this point, and never join any organization at will.Sometimes some cults operate in the name of environmental protection organizations, because these organizations often hold some spiritual communication gatherings, and then brainwash people step by step.

Therefore, He Fang is determined not to have any interaction with these people. It is fine to play with women, but not to get involved with others.
