China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 316 Keep Repetition Fresh
Several people from He Fang walked onto the stage, and then continued to applaud the audience in return. After a while, the host Sosie Bacon still had a good grasp of the rhythm, and interrupted the applause after about 2 minutes.

"Okay, Director He Fang, why are your movie stories always so charming? Every time I watch your movie, I will be immersed in your movie story. Your movie story is always memorable, and I even want to watch it a few more times. The impulse, may I ask what is the reason for this?"

He Fang took a look at Sosie Bacon unexpectedly, this second generation star is different, both ability and homework are in place.

This kind of question is not only like asking a question, but also like praising the movie, and also like praising the director, which is wonderful.

"The answer to your question is very simple, but it is not easy to do. There is only one way to make the story of the movie look good, and that is to write the script well, and then shoot the details well, so that the story of the movie can have details to be discovered.

For example, in the movie, Cage's emotional changes towards Wu Lianzi, neither grabbing the theme but being just right, also requires the actors to perform just right, these are the details.With a good story, coupled with good details, then the movie will have a basis for people to recall. "

He Fang replied.

"So how do you find a good story like Edge of Tomorrow among so many stories around the world?" asked Sosie Bacon.

"To be honest, this has a certain degree of chance. There are so many good stories in the world. Not all good stories will be seen by us directors. Sometimes the director must read more, and the company needs to find more. And "Edge of Tomorrow" "I also saw the comics of this book by chance, which aroused my strong interest."

He Fang briefly introduced.

"Wow, it looks like the comics of the island nation will be collectively adapted by the directors. There are excellent examples like "Edge of Tomorrow" here. Director He Fang, you are so good at training actors, do you have any good advice for newcomers?" Sosie Bacon asked.

Everyone laughed at her question, feeling that she was asking it for herself.

He Fang also laughed, "A new actor? I believe I understand a lot of theories and foundations. If you haven't understood these, it's best to understand them. The next step is to lay a solid foundation in theory and basic skills.

Another point is that you should develop a habit, that is, to observe different groups of people, and then make a record, and at the same time practice and imitate the words and deeds of different people, which will be of great help to the newcomers in the performance.

For example, if you are asked to act in a crying scene, if you usually observe people a lot, you can perform dozens of ways of crying at any time.Of course, these are all skills. In fact, the most difficult part of being an actor is the emotional investment. Many actors have achieved the skill, but the emotion is not in place, which leads to the lack of something in the performance.

That's about it, that's all I can give you. "He Fang shrugged after finishing speaking.

Papapa... Audiences and moviegoers alike like He Fang's teaching of experience.

"Okay, I made a note. So what was the biggest challenge you had on Edge of Tomorrow?" Sosie Bacon asked.

"The biggest difficulty is how to make Leonardo's 300 ways to die look good and interesting, which is really troublesome." He Fang joked.

As soon as he said it, the audience roared with laughter. Leonardo spread his hands to express his helplessness. Indeed, in the movie, he is constantly dying in various ways.

"Wow, this is indeed a difficult point, but it is also an interesting point. If you are interested in the audience, you can count how many ways Leonardo died in "Edge of Tomorrow"." Sosie Bacon Immediately dug out a small selling point for the movie, let alone this is really okay.

Just like how many layers of dreams "Inception" has entered, it can arouse the interest of movie fans.

"What else? What's the problem?" Sosie Bacon asked.

"What else? You have to ask Leonardo, everyone can count how many times he has been reborn, and then count the difference in his performance after each rebirth. This stumped him. Showing different effects of rebirth and waking up, it is said that Leonardo has a small notebook, of course I did not see it.”

He Fang shrugged.

"Leonardo, is there such a thing?" Sosie Bacon asked.

"Of course, at that time, I was thinking about the performance after every rebirth, and the performance every time I died."

"So how many deaths and rebirths did you have in total? How many performances did you use?" Sosie Bacon asked.

"Death has..." Leonardo was about to answer, but Fan Bingbing stopped him.

"Hey Leonardo, fans will have less fun if you post the answer."

"Oh, is that so? I almost fell for Suoxi's trap. It was so dangerous, so dangerous." Leonardo pretended to be terrified.

"Haha... Then I want to ask, how did you perform the comedy effect so well?"

"Comedy effect? ​​No, we have never officially said that this is a comedy film. As for the comedy effect, it is natural. We did not deliberately perform this comedy effect." Leonardo said.

"Oh, then this is really great writing and acting." Sosie Bacon said, "Fan, you are really handsome and beautiful in the movie, I am so envious. There are actually many parts in this movie." It’s all repeated, how do you make every change different?”

"There is no special method. In fact, the director said it after one performance, and then go back and watch the previous performance when performing the next one. You must maintain and differentiate, and then try to give a different difference." Fan Fan Bingbing replied.

"Fan, you have a lot of action scenes in the movie, have you really practiced kung fu?"

"Yes, I have practiced for several months. Director He Fang is very strict about this. The movements must be in place. If you don't practice, you may not be able to achieve the effect and complete the task."

"Is Chinese Kung Fu easy to learn? It will take about a few months?" Sosie Bacon asked.

"A few months? Impossible. I practiced a few moves that are needed in the movie, not real kung fu. Real kung fu takes decades to be effective. Practicing for a few months can only look It looks good, but it's actually useless at all." Fan Bingbing explained.

"What do you think is the hardest thing about acting in a movie?"

"Well...Of course it's the feeling of going from a stranger to a comrade-in-arms with Leonardo every time. This kind of performance is very subtle, but you have to let the audience understand."

……

The next question is about the daily life during shooting. In fact, this kind of daily life is the least big news. It is to squeeze out some so-called difficulty in shooting, the difficulty of performance, and the difficulty of shooting. I want to emphasize it. Which scene encountered any danger...

Sosie Bacon's hosting is okay, quite satisfactory, and will mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, which is okay.

There was no special material in the following link, neither the media deliberately made things difficult, nor the guests robbed the show. In short, all the praises were praised, and those who wanted to find faults did not find any faults.

There are no major problems in the whole movie in terms of story, performance, scenes, photography, sci-fi elements, etc. What's wrong with it?

After the premiere, He Fang and the others went to entertain the guests and some of the judges.

The media have already started posting the reports online. After all, there are still quite a few movie fans paying attention to the premiere. He Fang and Leonardo are in the hot stage of winning awards.

"Golden Globe Award for Best Director: He Fang's new movie "Edge of Tomorrow" makes a movie that repeats reincarnation extremely attractive, without the boringness of reincarnation movies"

"Leonardo's Acting Growth: In [Edge of Tomorrow], Leonardo's acting style has changed drastically, and his emotions have become restrained and effective"

Premiere of [Edge of Tomorrow]: The Most Exciting Woman Performed by China Fan

"Leonardo's new film [Edge of Tomorrow]: Leonardo takes you into death over and over again, and then starts again"

"[Edge of Tomorrow]'s Director's Secret: Keep Repetition Fresh"

……

In short, the media gave it a very high evaluation. Many media even gave a evaluation of "the most worth watching science fiction blockbuster in the beginning of 2014". This evaluation is really high.

This undoubtedly gave the audience greater expectations, and they are all looking forward to the early release of the movie.

However, no matter how urgent it is, it will be in these two days.

That night, He Fang and the others thanked all the guests, and then gave some gifts to some of the invited judges in the name of the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew, such as Apple suits, which included IPOD, IPHONE, MAC notebook, and IPAD...

Don't look at the fact that the gifts for some judges are not very many, and a gift is only tens of thousands of dollars, but in fact this is also the norm, and there is no need to give too many gifts individually.

Think about the cost of 20 to 40 US dollars for the president of the United States to attend a speech. How much gift do you want to give to an Oscar judge?Tens of thousands of dollars is about the same. The key is that there are so many judges, dozens or hundreds of important judges add up.

After receiving the gifts, some Oscar judges also praised He Fang in front of the media for showing everyone his director level with an excellent movie. He Fang is an absolute top director.

This is the effect.

On the afternoon of January 1th, the crew woke up from the very late cocktail party last night, packed their luggage and boarded the plane to China.

The focus of the promotion of "Edge of Tomorrow" is on Asia. After all, the filming schedule on January 1 is aimed at the Spring Festival schedule, so how could it not be focused on Asia?
In fact, some Hollywood companies are very happy about He Fang, because He Fang focuses on Asia every time he announces his films, as if he is telling Hollywood, "I am an international director only in the Asian market, and I will not compete with you in Europe and the United States." market', why don't big Hollywood companies like such partnerships?

It's just... Although his publicity in the European and American markets is weak every time, he can still get a considerable box office in these two markets.

When the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" landed at Beijing Airport, He Fang asked Leonardo.

"Are you ready to challenge your stomach with Chinese food? I don't know if you can get used to it."

"Ha, I'm fully prepared, don't worry. I can't wait to feel the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. The annual Spring Festival activities in New York's Chinatown are great. I thought that China should be more beautiful. "Leonardo said excitedly.

"..."

"..."

Both He Fang and Fan Bingbing are very embarrassed, it is better to go to Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Singapore to make announcements as soon as possible, at least you can see some Spring Festival atmosphere.

……

After leaving the airport, there were thousands of pick-up personnel gathered outside, which was specially organized to increase the momentum of the group fire culture.Of course, you don't need to spend money to find fans, but just post it and select some people.

He Fang, Leonardo, and Fan Bingbing still need to pay for fans?As long as you report a flight number, countless people will come over immediately, let alone thousands, even tens of thousands.

Leonardo was taken aback by the momentum, and then they signed autographs for some fan representatives, and the others were not signed, and they could not be signed.However, it is enough to take a photo with everyone, that is, the kind of group photo, 100 people at a time, take a group photo together.

After the airport activities were finished, Leonardo shook his wrist, and his hands ached from signing.

"Don't worry, this level of signatures has just started, and there will be ones every day for the next ten days." He Fang said.

"Ah? This... can we arrange something else?" Leonardo asked.

"What do you think? Fans come here just to get a star's autograph. Wouldn't it be disappointing if you don't sign them?"

"Uh……"

Of course, besides the fans, there are dozens of media waiting for them.

"Leonardo, how do you feel about the cooperation with He Fang and Fan Bingbing?"

"Leonardo, may I ask how confident you are in winning the Oscar?"

"Leonardo, I heard that you, Nina Eggard, are dating, is this true?"

"Leonardo, may I ask what you want to do when you come to China for the first time?"

"Leonardo, what will be the first thing you will do when you come to China?"

……

Almost all of them asked about Leonardo, but He Fang and Fan Bingbing did not. This made He Fang feel disappointed. His reputation in China is not as high as that of Leonardo?
Fan Bingbing used to be the queen of topics in China. In front of Leonardo, Chinese reporters directly ignored her, which was very embarrassing. Fortunately, there was someone else who was ignored, at least it was not so embarrassing.

Leonardo spread his hands towards He Fang, expressing his helplessness.

"The answer is still to be answered. After the answer, we can go to the hotel, and I will take you to eat roast duck tonight." He Fang suggested Leonardo to hurry up.

"OK, come one by one, thank you." Leonardo had no choice but to start answering enthusiastic questions from the reporters.
