China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 308 If I Love America, Will America Love Me?

He Fang always wanted to confuse this matter. In fact, what He Fang said was not important. The important thing was that he came out on the platform, which would bring traffic to the film promotion.

After the premiere, He Fang answered a few personal questions that the reporters were concerned about, that is, he simply answered the reporters' questions about the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and his personal plans for next year.

After that, I went to the "Police Story 2013" appreciation reception. This reception... What stands out is that Jackie Chan is very enthusiastic. He is a social cow, and he can kiss the existence of men when he is excited.

Of course, I heard that Jackie Chan is still a master of male fighting power. When he was young, he couldn't sleep without the excitement of a woman at night. Almost half of the female stars in the entertainment circle have rumors about her. I don't know if it is true or not.

No way, who told him that he is a well-known star who is popular all over the world. He used to be the only one with Scorpion Baba. Everyone is looking forward to cooperating with Jackie Chan. Of course, there are also many admirers who can win glory for the Chinese. Some people are willing to post back, but also experience the impact of super combat power, why not do it?
Just like there are quite a few female stars queuing up who are willing to post their posts, no matter whether they are in the entertainment circle or not.

He Fang didn't have anything to do with any female stars at night, Jing Tian even wanted to ask He Fang for another drink alone after Jing Tian drank some wine, but He Fang refused.

Although he wanted to push this woman back, he didn't want to cause trouble. This kind of trouble was about getting married, and it was unnecessary.

It would be more comfortable to go to Liu Yan quietly at night. It doesn't matter if he messes up abroad, anyway, people abroad can appreciate it, and domestic movie fans are also happy for him to mess up abroad.

People will not be happy if they mess around in the country, and there will be a lot of gossip.

Of course, it's not that he's not interested in domestic women.

On Monday, December 12, He Fang visited Gu Yang. He drank tea with Gu Yang at home all night and chatted a lot with him.

He understood that He Fang's plan last time was generally satisfactory and compliant. Of course, the specific operation will definitely be re-expressed on the basis of his plan.

In addition, regarding He Fang's recent work, everyone generally supports it. He Fang's unofficial status can do a lot of things, and relevant departments welcome it.

Finally, when we talked about Peking University inviting him to give a speech, He Fang finally understood what was going on.

It was at a meeting that we talked about rejuvenating the country through science and technology, then we talked about the issue of talents, and finally we talked about how to retain talents.

Later, it was suggested that models of returned talents go to Qingbei to give speeches in turn, and He Fang was the most eye-catching one.

That's why suddenly someone called He Fang to invite him to give a speech, who knew that He Fang rejected it, so Peking University had no choice but to ask Dai Jinhua, who is engaged in film research, to find someone to meet He Fang and invite him personally.

They thought it would be no problem for Mr. Dai Jinhua, who has the most theoretical knowledge in the film industry in China, to make a move. Who knew He Fang refused again, and gave a reason that annoyed Peking University.

This matter was immediately spread among the upper echelons, and many people realized that some things must be done, even if there is little effect.It is a big problem that high-level talents cannot come back or be retained. He Fang, as a professional film talent, will play the role of saving China's film industry.

In this way, more talents who can take the lead in the entire industry will come back. If every industry returns to one place, then the whole of China will take off, and the so-called national rejuvenation will also have hope.

This is the keynote. In the future, we must attract talents to return to China around this keynote and keep them.

Therefore, when He Fang denounced the teaching style of Peking University and pointed out the problem that the talents who studied abroad did not come back, it was even more necessary for He Fang to give such a speech.

After figuring out the cause and effect, He Fang is also helpless.

"But I don't know what to say. They are a group of people with their nostrils facing the sky and think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. Is it meaningful to teach him patriotic education? What their school promotes is internationalism, and they want to stand on the side of human beings. From the perspective of learning, the height is very high, in their eyes there is no nation, no country, only human beings, how can I do this?"

He Fang also has a big head.

"With your wisdom, we all believe that you can do it. If you can't, you can tell us about your mental journey, why you returned to China, and why you chose to turn the tide on your own when the domestic film industry was in turmoil and help the building to collapse. You always talk about your own deeds, right? It doesn’t need to be edited, and the emotion is sincere.”

Gu Yang laughed.

"For those who have been indoctrinated with internationalism and human civilization, my personal experience and thought process are too superficial and not high-level. As students of Peking University, they will not be corrected if they listen to such low-level things. , but will disdain me." He Fang shook his head.

"Hehe, He Fang, don't think too much. We didn't expect your speech to change everyone's hearts. We hope that your speech will plant a seed in their hearts. When they encounter life choices overseas Remembering your experience can give them a reason to come back.

It’s not like you said, some people are spreading comments outside, saying that this is not good in China, and it is not good. In the end, if you want to do a good job in academics, you will be blocked by a small director.They have heard this kind of talk too much, and it will only cut off the way back to China.

Then if they hear that you also chose to return to China when making life choices in the United States, and you also encountered so-called "administrative difficulties" in China when you overcame difficulties and soared to the sky, then do they have the courage to come back?
Don't look at them all as if they are full of talents, in fact, their proud identities make them unable to let go of certain decisions, and this is the key that prevents them from going home.How to let their proud identities let go of their prejudices?

Don't think too much about the effect or not, do it first.Many methods are discovered through exploration. As long as the result is not pushed to a worse situation, then do things first. "

Gu Yang's words let He Fang understand that the decision-making thinking made by the superior is like this, and it seems that some of his own heights are still not enough.

After figuring out the cause and effect and the request from above, He Fang has nothing to say.

"However, I have refused twice in a row. Now I go back and beg them to give a speech?" He Fang is also in a dilemma.

"This is a trivial matter. I will ask the top leaders of the school to officially send you an invitation letter in front of the media. If they invite you three times, won't you lose face?" Gu Yang said with a smile.

"But this, isn't it to roast me on fire? What will the students of Peking University think? Why should a small star be invited by Peking University three times?"

"Well, yes. However, let's not mention the three invitations, as long as a few people have an idea."

"Okay, then I'll go back and sort out my thoughts."

Having said all this, what else can He Fang do?Bite the bullet and put it on.

After bidding farewell to Gu Yang, He Fang returned to the villa not to mention how depressed he was, so he had an in-depth exchange with Pan Zhilin that night, and then he became much happier.

On December 12th, Peking University officially issued an invitation to He Fang to give a speech, called "He Fang Peking University New Year's Eve Speech", and the time was set at 24:12 am on December 31st, in the audience hall of Peking University's Centennial Lecture Hall.

This is a very large lecture hall with a capacity of 2167 seats. It can not only provide lectures for world celebrities, but also be used for performances. It has professional projection equipment and stage equipment, which is no worse than any professional theater.

This is the background of Peking University. The infrastructure that spends so much every year is first-class in China.

This announcement immediately attracted many students to sign up enthusiastically. Even students from Tsinghua University next door, Renmin University of Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, National University of Minzu, Linda University, etc. tried their best to listen to the speech, and even not far away, Beidance, Nortel, Students from Chinese Opera, Beijing Normal University, Beiyou and other schools were also moved by the news...

Faced with such a grand occasion, He Fang couldn't laugh or cry, feeling a lot of pressure.

So, in the next few days, in addition to going to the company to deal with the company's affairs, he went to ByteDance to chat with Zhang Yiming about the development of ByteDance, and met and had a meal with several contracted directors of Tuanhuo Culture in Beijing. Except for a meeting with familiar actors, he just buried himself in writing his speech.

Of course, as a qualified actor, the most amazing thing is to give a speech without script, and He Fang must pretend to be this awesome.However, the speech still has to be written now, and there must be a reference in hand.In other words, writing a speech is a respect for everyone. People come to listen to your speech in such a formal manner. If you don’t even have a speech, it feels like you are here to make things happen.

Fortunately, while he was writing his speech, so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so would come over to relieve his fatigue, give him a massage, push his legs and so on...

It was really busy until December 12th before it was officially finalized. He Fang kept communicating with Peking University. The speech lasted for four to 30 minutes, and the communication lasted for an hour and a half.

On the 31st, He Zao got up very early in the morning. There was no massage and massage activities last night. He just had a good night's sleep, and then went to exercise early in the morning to refresh himself.

At eight o'clock, he asked Tong Weidong to drive to Peking University. After all, it was a working day, and the morning rush hour in Beijing was no joke, so he set off two hours early...

Hurrying quickly, I finally arrived at [-]:[-], greeted everyone in the host room, and then simply asked the makeup artist to take care of it and was ready to go on stage.

Under the host's introduction, the audience burst into warm applause to welcome He Fang to the stage to give a speech. He Fang looked at the upper and lower floors full of people, and even some steps were full of people.

He nodded to the audience, "Good morning, everyone. I am He Fang, a Chinese director. It is a great honor to stand here to communicate with you on this year's transitional day. Thank you for letting go of the eagerness to go home and listening to my speech. , thank you all for putting down the warm blankets in winter to listen to my speech, thank you all for leaving your lovers behind to listen to my speech..."

There were chuckles and cheers from the audience.

"Very good, it seems that you are very cooperative with me, at least you didn't let my easy opening speech get awkward here, and you all worked hard to cooperate with my performance. The next time I make a film and need actors, I will invite you."

"Haha... good!" The audience immediately relaxed a lot, and everyone felt that this was a young man's speech, relaxed and lively.

If He Fang started with a serious face, and then was as boring as talking about the quantum theory of wave-particle duality, the effect will be greatly reduced.

"To be honest, when I was invited to give a speech at Peking University, I was apprehensive, because I know that students from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Minda University and other schools are all proud, because you have the capital to be proud, and you are the national leader. The best of the best, the best of the best, the best of geniuses.

So, what kind of speech should I give to attract you?Is it possible that I can attract you by turning into Fan Bingbing now?Not necessarily, in your eyes, except for talent and IQ, you look down on others.

So, in order to come here to give a speech, I deliberately spent five years returning to China from the United States, and then started the re-industrialization of film by sensationalism, won several awards in a row, and made several films that the global audience was satisfied with.I think, with my talent, I should be able to stand here for a while, right?
Seeing the enthusiastic students today, I definitely told myself that they should come to see my talent, not to see my jokes. "

When He Fang said this, the audience applauded.

"Perhaps some people will despise me when they hear me boasting so much. Chinese people pay attention to modesty and low-key. How can I blow myself up so high here? Isn't it just a little talent? Yes, you can think so, isn't it just a little bit Are you talented?
However, my little talent has almost disappeared in the United States, because many unimaginable resistances are preventing my little talent from showing.Because of the number of times around the world, there is only one director who can succeed in the United States, and his name is Ang Lee.

And there are countless directors who go to the United States to study and study abroad every year. Why did Ang Lee succeed?And there are countless Chinese actors who went to Hollywood, why only Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li succeeded?

Before going to the United States, I had fantasized about killing all directions in Hollywood, and then fighting monsters all the way to become a director comparable to Cameron.As a result, I was working as an assistant to Cameron for a few years.

Then after doing the assistant job, I still have the next assistant contract waiting for me.Originally, I could continue to work as an assistant and wait for the opportunity. After all, which successful director didn't start his career when he was nearly 40 years old?I still have a long way to go.

However, all talented people have a sense of urgency, wishing to show their talents immediately.But this kind of opportunity is very difficult in the United States, very difficult.Li An only had one chance after his wife raised him for seven years.

At that time, I was faced with a choice. In the eight years in the United States, should I be naturalized and slowly endure like Ang Lee, or should I do something else?At that time, I had a big debate with my classmates.First of all, start from the original intention of studying in the United States, and then why should we stay in the United States?Dedicate all the talents of my life to this country that has a dime relationship with me.

At that time, I asked myself: If I love America, will America love me?I can devote my whole life to a strange country, so will this strange country provide a stranger with the dignity and protection that he deserves? "

When He Fang raised this question, the students in the audience were silent, because no one can guarantee to give a stranger the dignity and protection that he should have, which is almost difficult.

Smarter people will soon understand that all countries in the world cannot provide 100% dignity and protection to their citizens, let alone an outsider?
