China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 271 Instructing Annie to Perform
When He Fang was preparing for "Dallas Buyers Club" in New Orleans, He Fang also took time to go to Los Angeles and had a one-day meeting with the production team of "X-Men".He can't do it if he doesn't come, it's only two months or so before starting up, and there are still many creative matters that need to be finalized.

In Los Angeles, he met Anne Hathaway, who had finished her recuperation and recovered. She was still so amazing. Someone in another time and space had made a selection, and she was known as the four major Western beauties on earth, an unsurpassable existence.

The four are Anne Hathaway, Monica Bellucci, Christiana Yeri, and Sophie Messo.

This selection has been recognized by most people, and of course some people have cited their equal competitors, such as Marilyn Monroe, there are indeed some who are not much worse than the four of them, but that is too far away, wait for the entertainment global She was already old at the time of transformation, and the four of them are more recognized and accessible to fans after global entertainment. They are definitely a height of Western beauties, at the ceiling level, no matter how good the competitors are, they can only reach their level One level up.

Regardless of whether this selection is accurate or not, isn't a scumbag like He Fang not tempted by one of the four beauties in Western film history?
Of course it will, so when He Fang discussed the role with Annie in the hotel room, He Fang got started.

"No, Annie, if you want to perform like this, you won't win the Oscar for Best Actress." He Fang interrupted Annie's performance.

"Oh? Really? Why, why?" asked Anne.

"Believe me, when you're performing, there are so many dramatic traces in your body, such as your hand-waving movement."

As He Fang spoke, he took Annie's hand and stretched it out, then turned around again, and changed into a posture of hugging Annie from behind,

"Be natural, don't be blunt, your performance is too heavy, and the audience will notice it. Come on, let's have a kiss scene, to see how unnatural you are..."

"Uh, director... well, you took the initiative, or I took the initiative..."

Obviously, Annie is not as persistent as she imagined. Even if Annie dreamed of becoming a nun at the beginning, she was still a conservative, but so many years of experience in the entertainment industry will change a person...

How did it change?In the Hollywood showbiz, when did you not make kissing scenes as a star?Don't shoot some physical contact scenes?It is also common for some sex scenes to win awards.Therefore, after a long time, there is no resistance to certain things.

Now Annie is not 20-year-old Anne, she is very proactive.

He Fang was a little excited this time, because this was Bai Yueguang among the Western beauties he met in two dimensions. Of the four beauties, only Anne was about the same age as him, and the other three were not his contemporaries.

Annie also really felt the level of a man who had learned oriental kung fu, it was really different,
Fortunately, it won't take two months to join the same crew.

……

At this time, the global release of "The Origin of the White Snake" has ended, and its global box office has reached 8.02 million U.S. dollars, setting a new record for He Fang's movie.

"Pacific Rim" had a box office of 6.3 million US dollars, "Three Dozens of Bones" had a box office of 7.19 million US dollars, and now "The Origin of the White Snake" has received a box office of over 8 million US dollars, which has firmly created his personal history and also created China. Movie box office history.

No matter how the outside world praises or slanders He Fang, this is his achievement and no one can erase it.Even if he doesn't make movies anymore, he is still a monument in the history of Chinese film.Of course, it is also an indelible existence in the history of Asian film and world film. Who made him achieve such a high achievement at a young age?

……

He Fang returned to the crew of "Dallas Buyers Club" in a good mood, with a smile on his lips all the time. This kind of happiness infected the staff of the crew.

On March 3th, Leonardo was really thin to the ideal state, a complete paper man, and he didn't grow a beard.

"Leonardo, are you okay? If you have any physical discomfort, you must tell in advance. It is very important to win an award, but you can't risk your life." He Fang cared.

"Don't worry, director, this is actually a challenge for myself. Now that I have reached this state, I seem to have a deeper understanding of acting. Come on, I believe I will perform well." Leonardo deeply He took a puff of cigarette and was very determined.

"Okay, let's start." He Fang said, holding the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Okay, are all the teams ready? The first shot of "Dallas Buyers Club" will start soon."

"Camera is ready, director."

"The lighting is fine, director."

"The art is OK, director."

"The persuasion is in place, director."

"The recording is in place, Director."

"The actors are in place, director."

"Okay, scene record, come on, start filming, and start our "Dallas Buyers Club" filming journey." Following He Fang's instructions, the entire crew started to move, and the filming officially began.

This movie is actually not difficult at all as long as the actors' performance is in place, and the most difficult performance here is two people, one is Leonardo and the other is Jared Leto.

When there was no Leto in the early stage, Leonardo felt that he played very well, and he played Ron Woodruff, a promiscuous rodeo, a gambler, a homophobe, a drug addict, and a sexual promiscuity The acting is very good.

Leonardo is originally the kind of emotional performance. In order to pursue the real effect, this guy came to the real with those actresses in the bullpen and at home.

He Fang once thought that he was a director in the Sacred Valley of California, how could he make a movie with this kind of content?
Tong Weidong was even dumbfounded. He Fang originally wanted Zhang Mo to avoid it, but Zhang Mo said that she is a director and she will also film in the future. How could the director not understand some shooting techniques?
Well, the reason is very good, so everyone watched and filmed the wonderful action scenes of Leonardo and the actresses on the spot.

Leonardo paid a lot this time. Not only did he lose weight and become a paper man, but he also presented such an actual combat scene for the first time on the screen, but He Fang made it clear that he would not cut too much.

"Don't worry, I won't cut too much, and I won't let this kind of plot mess up the rhythm. The reason why I let you finish filming is to have enough material, so that I can pick out better pictures."

What He Fang said is true. Too much of this kind of plot in the movie will make the audience only remember how Leonardo actually fought women on different occasions. Who will watch the real story?
This kind of plot was originally intended to introduce Ron Woodruff's chaotic life and the cause of AIDS, which laid a solid foundation for him to fight against the virus later.

"I believe in you, He, I agreed to act in such a scene, and I was mentally prepared." Leonardo felt more comfortable in the face of He Fang's assurance.

"Well done, Leonardo, keep the performance, but it would be more perfect if the emotional range is smaller."

"What do you mean?" Leonardo asked.

"We need an angry Ron, but we don't need an angry lion or a bull. See the difference between the two? When you're sick you're angry, hopeless, but not wildly rampant like a bull. " He Fang said.

"Hmm, I think I understand a little bit." Leonardo really went all out this time, so he would suffer a lot if he didn't win the award, so he respected He Fang's suggestion.

The actresses who finished filming with Leonardo were very happy. Although they starred in such a scene, it doesn't matter.

Sleeping with Leonardo is such a great achievement, they can brag to their companions for a long time, and maybe they will receive more film offers.

It's a pity that when they wanted to maintain a long-term bed partner with Leonardo, they were rejected by Leonardo. If it wasn't for making movies, Leonardo would never have anything to do with this kind of actress. Victoria's Secret model is not good ?

Just when Leonardo was complacent about his performance and thought he had broken through, Jared Leto came online.

Leonardo was intimidated by Jared Leto's acting, so awesome?
"Leonardo, I can guarantee that Leto will win the award, his performance is amazing." He Fang stimulated Leonard appropriately, and praised others in front of him.

Leonardo's eyelids twitched, he must not pay such a high price himself, and he was not the one who won the prize in the end.

Ever since, he and Leto began to develop their acting skills, and he didn't believe it... Hey, the other party played a gay character so well that he suspected that Leto was not a fake gay but a real one, even that The kind that is feminine to the bone.

Sometimes Leto's performance is more charming than a woman, his movements, his eyes, and his emotions are full of women's taste.

After ten days of filming with Leto, Leonardo surreptitiously looked it up online.

There are various answers on the Internet. Many people suggest admitting that they are gay. Some psychologists call it gender cognitive disorder and think that they can try to redefine their orientation...

Leonardo smoked half a pack of cigarettes alone in the room early in the morning, and finally he did his psychological preparation

He also had to use normal eyes to look at Leto. In the past few days, he always felt weird and resisted when looking at him.

Some things don’t need to be said, everyone can see it. He Fang was relieved after seeing a different Leonardo. He finally completed his psychological construction.

"But I was so anxious, I thought you would be turned, but luckily you came out." During the break, He Fang and Leonardo smoked together, He Fang said.

"???" Leonardo froze for a moment, then looked towards where, "It's so obvious, did you see it?"

"Nonsense, everyone can see it, okay, I don't want Leonardo, who is loved by women all over the world, to become a gay because of a movie." He Fang spread his hands.

"So obvious?" Leonardo frowned and took a drag on his cigarette, muttering in a low voice.

"Heh, congratulations, you have resisted the temptation." He Fang patted Leonardo on the shoulder after finishing speaking, and then went to the monitor.

He looked at He Fang's back, and then saw a gaze, which was full of...unexplainable content, it was Leto's.Leonardo nodded politely to Leto, and the content in Leto's eyes finally disappeared, and he also nodded politely.

"Dallas Buyers Club" has received a lot of media attention because of the participation of Leonardo and the director of He Fang.

Although the crew did not hold a press conference, some still remembered to get the photos of the scene. When these photos appeared in the media, the entertainment media all over the world exclaimed.

"He Fang Turned Our Little Plum Into a Paper Man"

"Ah, the new film co-operated by Xiao Lizi and He Fang is worth looking forward to. With the help of He Fang, can he win the Oscar this time?" "

Paperman Leonardo? "

Not only was there a lot of speculation in the media, but also many reporters and Leonardo's friends called to care. Since the paper can't hold the fire, let's show it to the public generously.

It's just that it doesn't matter if the media doesn't make it public. Once it is made public, the attention will be even higher.

Of course, the organizing committees of several major film festivals are also closely following it.As early as when the cooperation between He Fang and Leonardo was exposed, this project was followed by several major film festivals. After all, which film festival would not want such a high-profile film?
He Fang hasn't made an award-winning movie for more than two years. The last one was "Scorching Sun" in 2011. This time, He Fang is not only making a literary film, but also with Leonardo's blessing. It's over.

No film festival can refuse Leonardo's participation. The main reason why Leonardo was not invited before was that his films did not sign up and did not meet artistic standards.

But this time is different. He Fang is a master at making art films properly, and has won two awards in two of the three major European film festivals.

In fact, there is no need to ask everyone to know this time period for shooting, so the three major film festivals most likely to participate in will be Venice.

Because Cannes is too early, it started in May, and "Dallas Buyers Club" is still being filmed, so it can't catch up with Cannes.

Berlin is too late, it has to be in February every year, it is impossible for "Dallas Buyers Club" to wait for Berlin, this is unrealistic.Because if they wait for Berlin, they will not be able to catch up with next year's Oscars. This is that they can't have both.

Therefore, Venice at the end of August and early September seems to be the most suitable, and Venice has been overwhelmed by Cannes these years, and it is about to be overtaken by Posen.

The chairman of the Venice Organizing Committee is very concerned about the progress of "Dallas Buyers Club".
