China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 280 Film Critic Sean's Interpretation of "The Mermaid"
Careful film critics saw some tricks, and someone wrote it down in a notebook: "This seems to be another film about interracial love, but this time He Fang is not about the traditional Chinese love between a man and a snake demon, but about The love between a human and a mermaid. It is mixed with the model of "Avatar", the hero stands up for the alien race, finally protects the alien race and defeats the human race..."

Some film critics wrote: "He Fang seems to have found some way to talk about love. The theme of this movie is obviously to talk about environmental protection, but it actually talks about two models of love. One is the interests of the rich woman and the male protagonist. Mode, a cross-racial mode that talks about the hero and the mermaid. The talk is very good, very deep..."

Sean Thorpe, a well-known Hollywood film critic, deconstructed it in this way: "It seems to use absurd comedy to talk about environmental protection, but when you look closely, he is talking about love again, and at the last look, he seems to be talking about class. A It is the rich class who manipulate the fate of others, and one is the bottom of society whose fate is manipulated by people. He Fang described these bottom of society as mermaids who are persecuted by humans. They live in dark caves and among human garbage .

But they lived happily in this dark corner, and they reorganized the rich people's trash into their own paradise.How this is like those slums, the homes of the homeless.The requirements of these bottom layers of society are very simple, as long as there is a habitat.

However, in order to gain profits, the rich even want to occupy and redevelop even the lowest habitats. The oppressive creature strikes back.

How is this like the origin of the revolutionary fire, the oppressed mermaids at the bottom are going to rebel against the ruler, and their rebellion is just because they want to have a quiet habitat...

The ending of the story, after all, turned a perfect rich man's game into a revolutionary resistance.

If the rich continue to oppress the lower class like this, if the developed countries continue to oppress the people of the third world like this, if humans continue to oppress the earth like this...then the fire of revolution will eventually be ignited..."

The excited Sean was moved by himself. He didn't expect "The Mermaid" to give him so many inspirations. He didn't expect that he saw such a profound theme in "The Mermaid". He didn't expect He Fang to package multiple themes so cleverly. together.

Xiao En murmured: "What is the master, the real film master..."

When the movie ended, the lights were turned on, and the applause was thunderous, Sean was awakened. His heart was filled with excitement, tears filled his eyes, and he once again saw the sublimation of thoughts from a movie...

And He Fangyu led the main creators to return applause to the audience. After nearly 10 minutes, Annie finally walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

"Friends, are you satisfied with the movie?" Annie showed the side of "Zhang Chang" that some audiences didn't like.

"YES!" The audience shouted.

"OK, let's invite the main creators of the movie to the stage with warm applause. They are..." Every time Annie reads a name, the applause grows louder, until finally when she reads He Fang's name, the audience cheers and cheers. Whistles blew, and the atmosphere reached its peak.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your support!" He Fang and the others thanked them again and again.

"Well, He, the movie is really shocking. We are no longer the target of alien bullying, but the bad guys who bully other species. If I say it badly, this is a bit like the Earth version of "Avatar", Whether it is the concept of human beings invading other biological territories or the direction of the ending, as well as the theme of opposing human beings to destroy ecology, they are all similar to "Avatar", I wonder if this is an illusion of mine?"

Anne's words made some audience members in the audience who didn't understand exclaim "Oh", and when they thought about it, they really looked alike.

"What you said is not wrong, there is indeed such a reference, no, I am paying tribute, I think I am paying tribute to the great James Cameron, he is the first to use a blockbuster to reflect on human beings I think this kind of reflection is very good. Therefore, I use another film to pay tribute to him. Moreover, in this film, my ambition is even greater, and I want to express multiple themes. Wish I did."

As soon as He Fang finished speaking, applause rang out, and Cameron shrugged happily.

"Yes, we have seen that your expression is very good and very layered. When making such an environmental protection film, why did you first think of using comedy in the form? But the theme you talked about is actually very heavy. Sometimes it's not easy to express thoroughly with comedy." Annie asked again.

"It is because of the heaviness that I feel that comedy is more profound and can be remembered by the audience. Because everyone knows that the core of comedy is tragedy. Is it better to express a heavy topic with tragedy or comedy? Personally, in my opinion, tragedy is something that the general public resists. Although the tragedy is profound, it is not easy for everyone to survive, so why make them sad again with the movie?"

He Fang's words once again aroused cheers and applause from the audience.

"Everyone says that I'm an arrogant person who likes to steal the limelight. I didn't expect that what you say can steal the limelight more, and you can speak more eloquently than me." Annie said 'surprisingly'.

"Arrogance, you like stealing the limelight? People who are arrogant are like this, cough, cough..." He Fang cleared his throat, "Invincible is so lonely, invincible is so empty..."

Of course, He Fang sang it in English, and there was a lot of laughter at the scene. This is really too arrogant.

But everyone understands that this is not He Fang's real arrogance, but a satire on those who say Anne is arrogant.

"Okay, next time I have to appear on stage singing your song, otherwise I don't deserve to be an arrogant person." Annie teased at the right time.

"Of course you can, but you have to collect copyright fees."

"Oh, NO..." Annie expressed her displeasure, "Okay, let's get back to the topic, about the movie. I want to ask Deng, did you laugh at the joke about drawing a mermaid in the police station?"

"Of course, I laughed at the beginning, but after the tenth filming, I basically couldn't laugh anymore. Pity the two actors who played the police, they finally smiled face-to-face."

Deng Chao shrugged.

"As I said, the core of comedy is tragedy. The poor two have to act like laughing many times after they are in such pain." Annie is very comfortable with learning and applying. In fact, she is a person who is very good at expressing herself.

It's a pity that Deng Chao's English is not good, otherwise he is also a person who can express himself very well, and he can get involved with Annie.

Next, Annie presided over the entire premiere perfectly, including interacting with the guests.

"Director Cameron, I heard that He used to work on the crew of "Avatar" and was deeply influenced by you. Now he has used your concept of "Avatar" to make a movie that pays homage to you. What do you think of this movie? ?”

The staff gave Cameron the microphone, and Cameron gave a thumbs up.

"He did a great job, and his ability to tell stories is even better than mine. Although this movie doesn't have the imagination of alien planets, nor does it have more dazzling pictures, but it is closer to reality and makes people reflect.

He has his own set of themes, rhythms, love, and photography, and this set works very well, allowing us to see a style that belongs to him.Come on, I am optimistic that he can achieve higher achievements in the future. "

Cameron boasted fiercely.

Of course, the same goes for Leonardo and others.

Big names like Stacey Snyder, the CEO of Fox Films, stood up and praised He Fang, "I think He keeps showing us his skills in making various types of movies, such as science fiction, Chinese costumes, and adventures. Action, comedy, it seems that he can shoot any genre and can shoot well, which is a rare thing.

There are many directors who are usually only good at shooting one or two types of films, but this is obviously not the case for He, who seems to be able to master many kinds.Therefore, we are very excited to partner with He Neng.

As for the movie "The Mermaid", I seem to see that He is criticizing certain things, and He played it very advancedly. I really appreciate such a talented director. "

……

It seems that the bigwigs in Hollywood are trying their best to give He Fang a lot of face. Are they really convinced by his talent?In fact, everyone knows well that this is how Westerners do things. They think that you are profitable, and they will not be stingy with any large specifications.

Now He Fang is the time when everyone thinks he is profitable. Not only can he enter the Chinese market through him, but he can also be hired as a director to earn global box office, so why not praise him?As for where is the threat?Joke, who can threaten Hollywood?Who can threaten the cultural hegemony of the United States?

They don't believe it, and they won't believe it anyway.

The media reporters didn't go anywhere this time, and most of them asked normal questions, nothing out of the ordinary.

However, the "National Enquirer" asked an interesting question. He asked why did He Fang stand for Anne?If He Fang has no special relationship with her, what is the reason for supporting her?Because it is impossible for ordinary people to help another person who is in the quagmire selflessly for no reason.

It is quite reasonable to say that Annie is in a quagmire, and many people have long been hiding far away, but He Fang wants to support her, why?
"Although your question has nothing to do with this film, I can make an exception to answer you. The reason why I support Annie and insist that I come up with a reasonable explanation is ultimately due to two reasons: one is the benefit, and the other is the small risk.

I don't need to say what the benefits are, right?Our movie has long established Anne as the heroine, and I really appreciate her performance, and she also has the strength to bring better commercial effects to our movie.

The risk is small, that's because the rumors about Annie are all moral kidnappings that cannot withstand scrutiny.Targeting Annie so deliberately, trying to smear her so loudly, but showing no black material, proves that Annie really has no black material.Therefore, I support her, because I am not afraid of things slipping out of control. "

He Fang's answer was very realistic, there was no euphemism, it was just that direct.

Of course, it is also very persuasive. People with discerning eyes can tell who is telling the truth at a glance.Because he invited Annie to participate in "X-Men", he didn't want any losses, and he supported Annie because there was really nothing to blame for Annie, and supporting her would not bring negative effects.

Annie shrugged her shoulders when she heard this explanation, and her smile was complicated. According to the reporter, her smile was complicated because He Fang supported her not out of genuine concern among friends, but out of interests.

In fact, He Fang had already told Annie about this, and she could understand that He Fang had to give the outside world a reasonable explanation. If the explanation was unreasonable, it would not only cause a lot of speculation and gossip from the outside world, but also make Annie's Husband will be cranky.

And Annie's complicated smile is that she is sad because she can't have a result with He Fang, and she also feels guilty because she is behind her husband's back.That's why there is this complicated smile, not what He Fang's words hurt her.

The premiere ceremony is over, and the reception that follows is a high-end bureau, after all, there are executives from many companies.

Don't look at the so-called fairness and freedom in the United States, but in fact classes are everywhere.During the reception, some executives and important celebrities did not appear in the hall, but everyone who came to the reception knew that they were here.

After He Fang also presided over the reception in the hall, he came to another hall. There were only thirty or forty people in this hall, all of whom were influential people in Hollywood.

This is class, and it is also an unspoken rule, and everyone understands it.In public, they sit in the middle of the crowd and watch the movie with everyone else, but if you want to reach them in private, it's not so easy.

Not only abroad, but also domestically.Take the Golden Rooster Awards in China. There are hundreds of guests participating in this award. Are the real big names and executives or bosses of big companies met by ordinary guests in private?unseen.

"China He's new film is lively, entertaining and thoughtful"

"Another Interracial Love Movie"

"Salute to [Avatar], He made an earth version of [Avatar]"

"Is it about environmental protection or about love?The combination of both shows He's superb level"

"This is a comedy environmental romance film about class oppression and revolution at the bottom. Who is the real film master"

"Cameron: He's storytelling ability partially surpasses me"

"Leonardo: Ho is a director who is good at performing miracles"
