China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 328 He Fang's Big Plans Have Been Blocked
On March 3, "Alita: Battle Angel" was launched, and after the launch conference, it officially entered the shooting process.

The biggest winning point of this kind of comic-style movie lies in the shaping of the world, giving an attractive movie picture, and the so-called mechanical synthesis of human beings. This setting seems to be the best between humans and robots. The choice has both human autonomy and mechanical sense of technology.

Such a combination becomes a brand new experience, which may bring a huge visual impact to the audience.

It's a pity that the first part couldn't show the grand world view in the original manga. In order to make up for this shortcoming, He Fang added two background introductions on the basis of the original story, that is, the development history of human colonization of the solar system, and presented the background in the form of pictures Come out and try to make the story seem grand.

On the first day of filming, I always shoot some leftovers. For example, I filmed the scene of scrap iron town, where scrap iron garbage was thrown from the sky, and Dr. Wang De came to Taobao. Got a nice robotic arm, found a nice eyeball...

Of course, there is a classic scene in this scene, that is, when Wang De raised Alita's head, it matched the original picture of the comics, and came a very cyberpunk scene: mountains of electronic and mechanical waste piled up on both sides, and In the distance of the garbage mountain are towering buildings, and in the sky is the oppression of Kunlun Ruins.

But under the oppression of the rubbish mountain, the oppression of tall buildings in the distance, and the oppression of the Kunlun ruins above his head, Wang De stood in the rubbish dump with his head in his hands, and the setting sun in the distance collided with all the "oppression" on Wang De's eyes. body.

The shot shows a backlit silhouette of Wang De raising his head. This shot is simply breathtakingly beautiful and has a high sense of lens artistry.

In order to make a good shot of this shot, He Fang even asked Li Xuejian to put on a pose, a form of pilgrimage and 'holding hope and surprise', which is like the silhouette of the red army looking at the red flag in the movies of the 70s and [-]s.

Very ceremonial and shocking.

Such a shot may seem a bit "fake" in the eyes of the director of a literary film, but I have to admit that it is beautiful and powerful. It doesn't need a thousand words, just a shape can give people a sense of power.

Moreover, this is quite a theatrical style of modeling.

"Wow, director, this shot is beautiful, Li Xue sees the teacher's handsome look, so imposing." Everyone praised in front of the monitor.

"Haha, Mr. Li Xuejian has so many years of experience in stage plays, this is all child's play for him." He Fang echoed.

At this time, He Fang picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Okay, it's over, the next scene."

After He Fang finished speaking, the entire crew came to another part of the studio that was separated, that is, Dr. Wang De's infirmary. Dr. Wang De carefully placed a body on the operating table, facing Alita's head. on, and the operation begins.

At this point, it's time to show off some real sci-fi stuff, namely, the technology of combined humans.

Many tools have actually been made long ago, yes, it is a piece of glass. As for the sci-fi image data on the glass, they are all added later.

He Fang originally wanted to change the various instruments to the holographic mode instead of the button style, but after thinking about it, he would have to change many aspects after changing it, and finally he gave up.

This kind of button wind is not unacceptable.

……

"Alita: Battle Angel" is slowly entering the official track, and the entire crew is slowly immersed in the shooting atmosphere.

He Fang can still compete with Alita in fighting skills every now and then. She really is a petite Jiangnan beauty. You can break her waist when the wind blows, but she is very resilient.

Outside of the movie, several things planned by He Fang did not go well.

For example, regarding the film awards, the appointment of judges from various countries, the negotiation of several major cooperation video platforms, and the production companies that initiated the registration for the awards are not very active in this form.

The root cause is that other countries do not have a high degree of trust in some activities or awards led by China. Even if they are led by any party, they seem to have a feeling of distrust.

It seems that this film award is not something that can be done just by saying it. It needs a process, a process of gaining the trust of others, or they need to see that participating in this award is indeed profitable, instead of just relying on the organizing committee to draw cakes.

The most important thing is that the operation of the film awards requires a professional film award team, and there are many ways in which laymen cannot understand.

The award that was planned to be completed last year still has a lot of problems this year, so there is a high probability that it will not be completed in 2014.

So while filming, He Fang had a meeting with a few people who were preparing for it, so he could only continue to cheer and encourage.

"Don't be discouraged. In fact, it is normal to have some obstacles in promoting. If the film awards are really so easy to manage, I believe that these awards will not be the only ones in the world for a long time, because they come up with good ideas, design There will be many people who come up with good models.

In short, what we did in Tuanhuo Culture before was too smooth, thinking that everything we did would come naturally, but in fact it was not.Such a setback is not a bad thing, it can wake us up, our energy is not infinite.

Even if I have achieved certain achievements in the world, this is not the reason why others will support me unconditionally.Therefore, we need to calm down and focus on analyzing what are the real difficulties we encountered in organizing this film award.

Just find the root cause, and then find a solution to the problem, we are a little bit patient and take our time to solve it.Instead of encountering a problem, we lose the motivation to continue.

Always believe that if things are not done, problems will only appear on yourself, proving that what you have done is not enough.For example, if we invite some judges to participate, why don't they come?Obviously, the interests are not in place.As long as the interests we give are greater than his current interests, he will participate.

Either the immediate benefits we give are great, but the long-term benefits are not stable. In short, we need to find out the root cause and then solve the problem.This is a loophole. Without a large number of high-quality judges, it is impossible for films to enter the competition. They will not feel the authority of the film awards.

Without a large number of movies to participate in the competition, the video platform will not open the registration and award competition track according to our requirements.This creates a vicious cycle. "

He Fang can only cheer for everyone now, he can't just give up halfway through what he initiated, right?This will reduce the admiration for the 'right leadership' of any party.

If such blows are repeated a few times, everyone will feel that He Fang's words are not so correct. How many people under him will carry out what he says in the future?
Once the absolute authority of any party disappears, there will be loosening within the company, such as brain drain, such as the loose and corrupt internal working atmosphere, such as some leaders who have ideas start to question, then the company will not be far from falling apart if this continues.

Therefore, this matter must be done, and he must continue to lead everyone to success, so as to maintain his absolute authority.

"Director He, how can we take action in this situation?" Zhang Qian asked.

"We have to make this happen, but the plan requires two preparations. The first preparation is to continue to implement the previous strategy. The second preparation is to reduce the scale. Our advantages lie in the country, in the Chinese-speaking circle, and even in East Asia, Southeast Asia.

Since people in other parts of the world don't believe in us, let's make it smaller and let others see the benefits.Is everyone benefiting as we promised?We can start with an annual award for Chinese-language films, or an annual award for Asian films.

After this small-scale success, we will slowly expand, and the ultimate goal is to make it into the Global Film Awards of the Year.To clarify to everyone where our strengths lie, the Oscars are just the Oscars of the Americans.

The scope of the Oscar awards is only awards in the United States or the English-speaking region, and the internationalization is not strong. Their internationalization is only an additional award such as the best foreign language film.It's just that the Oscars in the United States have a great global influence, but this is not an international award.

The three major film festivals, or the fifteen A-category film festivals, are actually unfair and have no scale.We need a truly international award, which is selected by film professionals and audiences from all over the world.

Therefore, the advantages of our film awards are here. Fairness, justice, openness and internationalization are our advantages.We don't do regional awards, we don't do small circle awards, what we want is global awards.This must be publicized in place.

Another point, if it really doesn’t work, we will set up our own video website, which is dedicated to film registration and awards, and then distribute and cooperate with the resources of this registered film to other commercial video platforms.

The advantage of setting up a dedicated video website is that the registration is unified, the real names of the judges are disclosed, the votes after the awards can be checked, and then the income can be checked uniformly.Truly fair and just, open and international. "

In fact, He Fang has already had a set of ideas in his mind on how to solve the current difficulties. Perhaps this award cannot leverage the Oscars or the three major film festivals now, but it can be cultivated slowly.

The Oscar was not the most popular film award in the world at the beginning, but it also gradually grew through the slow publicity. The most important thing is that it attracted the attention of the world with the global leadership of the United States.

As a matter of fact, the new film awards that He Fang wants to launch will depend on China's national power to support the ultimate influence.

The stronger China's national power, the higher the authority of this award.

何方给新电影奖一个新的时间计划，那就是争取2015年1月31日举办第一届按全球规模的，如果2015年1月31日举办不了，那就2016年的1月31日一定要举办第一届哪怕是亚洲规模或华语规模的也行。

After having a clearer plan, all the participants regained their confidence. They felt that He Fang's plan was clearer, which gave them more confidence and more time.

It is indeed too difficult to make the previous plan into a global scale, and the pace is too hasty.

It is true that He Fang has been dazzled by the huge achievements, and the whole company has also been dazzled by the huge achievements. Now He Fang's new path is correct, feasible, and step-by-step.

After settling the issue of the film awards, there is another issue that is not so easy, and that is the issue of Maoyan.

Alima even went to Changsha to discuss the development of Maoyan ticket purchases with He Fang.

He Fang also had to spare one night to have a good gathering with Alima, and learned from Alima that the biggest problem of Maoyan at present is that it is not smooth to enter the market of other countries.

There are two main reasons for the unsmoothness. One is that other countries are unwilling to share data with Maoyan, and the other is that other countries have disagreements on the payment of Maoyan tickets.

"Mr. Ma, I'm afraid this is not just Maoyan's problem, but also Ali's problem? It seems that Chinese websites are not doing very well abroad, such as Ali, Taobao, Tencent QQ and WeChat."

After He Fang finished speaking, Alima shook his head with a wry smile, "Yes, this is a real problem."

"Actually, the United States is pursuing Internet hegemony. Apart from American Internet companies, how many other countries have established truly large Internet companies? Needless to say, Europe basically has no Internet industry, and is still engaged in industry. Not to mention Japan and South Korea, they all use American Internet products such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

In other words, the United States currently has no monopoly on Internet products except China. They almost have a monopoly in the world, and they have also destroyed the Internet industry in other countries.So, we have to thank the country for at least keeping our property, otherwise..."

He Fang looked up at Alima as he spoke, Alima was stunned for a moment, he felt that He Fang seemed to be pointing something.

Could it be that my recent attacks have been too harsh and have caused dissatisfaction among some people? Where can I use to beat myself?People at their level will certainly not ask He Fang whether it is someone else's meaning.

"Well, Director He is right. It is indeed the case. Without the protection of the state, we would have been defeated by American Internet companies long ago." Alima nodded along the meaning.

"So American Internet companies will definitely suppress non-American Internet products going global. I said before that the quiet development is based on this consideration. I didn't expect them to find out." He Fang shook his head regretfully.

"Yes, we have only achieved coverage of mainstream theaters in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. The data is not real-time, and we can only sell tickets. Then, we can only use the online banking payment methods of each country. We are preparing to go to When Europe developed, the UK was the first to jump out and oppose it, which aroused opposition from the entire EU."

Ali explained.

He Fang nodded, he could imagine such a situation.Don't look at the decline of Britain, but its intelligence system and analysis capabilities are still there.And it is very exclusive, and it is very sensitive to any foreign things.

This is a typical case of doing things under the guise of liberalism, where others are not free when they enter their own house, but they want freedom when they enter other houses.

"Mr. Ma, I believe that you must have a solution when you come to me? What kind of solution can't be clearly explained on the phone, but you have to go there in person?" He Fang asked curiously.

Alima glanced at He Fang unexpectedly, he was really smart, and nothing could escape his eyes.

"That's what happened..."
