China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 335
The movie "Room" is not complicated. It is similar to the Italian movie "Life is Beautiful". It tells the story of a father or mother trying their best to bring happiness and hope to their children in an extreme environment.

This kind of story evokes great maternal love or fatherly love. I won't say much about how classic "Life is Beautiful", but "Room" cannot reach the height of "Life is Beautiful".

One of the biggest reasons is that the background is different. "Life is Beautiful" tells a story during World War II, which itself contains criticism of fascism, and then compares it with the great father's love. The height is different.

The story of "Room" is about a girl named Joy who was deceived by her neighbor and imprisoned for seven years. She also gave birth to a son with her neighbor.Finally, under Joey's planning, they finally escaped from here, but facing the outside world...

The story is probably this, and it is a novel based on real events, and a movie based on a real novel.

However, the screenwriter He Fang found was the author of the novel himself, so the movie basically restored the novel itself.

There is nothing that Ho would like to change about the story, because the biggest highlight of the film is not the story, but the characters.

Yes, they are mother and son. They are the focus of the movie. Anne can win the Oscar for this role.

The real true story is much more perverted than this novel,
"Didn't I say it, I feel like after this time, I don't know what the situation will be like in the future, so it's better to have one last act of madness." He Fang lit up his cigarette and said.

Annie snatched the cigarette and took a drag,
"So, in fact, all animals are egg-laying? It's just that the eggs are in different forms?"

"No, why don't you want to play this role well and win an Oscar? It's not the same difficulty to win an Oscar now as it will be after you give birth to a child..."

He Fang felt that Annie was a little distracted, and she was thinking about things in her mind.

He Fangzheng wanted to guide Annie to concentrate,
……

Not long after entering June, He Fang and Annie had another task besides filming "Room" to promote "X-Men: Days of Future Past", which will be released on June 6.

Although He Fang and Annie are still filming, they can participate in some activities such as taking promotional photos, accepting some interviews, and recording a program on weekends.

"He, are you interested in continuing to make one of our Fox movies?"

When He Fang went to the Fox company to participate in an interview with Fox Media on the weekend, Fauci, the boss of Fox's film production company, asked He Fang.

He Fang was very surprised. Generally, major Hollywood companies would ask the original director if they want to continue to cooperate after seeing the movie sell well after they cooperated.However, Fauci invited He Fang to continue to cooperate before "X-Men" was released. What does this mean?
Which side's strength are you optimistic about?Or is it for other reasons?

"Sorry, sir, I really don't have time. Let's talk about it later. As you know, not only do my own companies have to make a lot of movies, but I also have unfinished projects with Columbia, Universal, and Warner. I don't have time at the moment. I'll wait until I get there. Let’s talk when you’re free.”

He Fang's words also surprised Fauci, but he thought about it carefully and expected it.

Fauci nodded with a complicated expression, and then shrugged: "That is indeed a pity. We still hope to cooperate with you if we have the opportunity."

"Of course, if there is an opportunity, we can continue to cooperate."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your interview." Fauci shook hands with He Fang and left.

At this time, the main creators sitting on the other side were chatting happily with the reporter. Unfortunately, Fox doesn't need Liu Yan and Yui Aragaki to come over for global promotion, so they won't be able to see them.

"Hey, what did Fauci tell you?" During the break in the interview, Annie took advantage of the opportunity when she came back from the bathroom to ask where she was smoking alone after saying hello to a few people.

He Fang pursed his lips, "It's just that they still want to take advantage of me, trying to entangle a competitor with tens of millions of salary."

After He Fang finished speaking, there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, and then he took a puff of cigarette coolly.

Annie felt that He Fang was so attractive. This must be a fight between senior people.

"You refused?" Anne asked.

"of course."

"Aren't you afraid of becoming an opponent?"

"Oh, you don't understand. It's interesting in this way. Persistence and concealment are the characteristics of this art." He Fang laughed.

"What, what art? What is persistence and concealment?" Anne didn't understand.

"There is an article in China called "On Protracted Warfare". I just feel a little emotional. Let's go, the interview is not over yet."

After He Fang finished smoking, the two of them walked over and continued the interview.

"He, everyone knows that you are a director who is good at making commercial blockbusters. What methods did you use to attract people in "X-Men" this time? Can you reveal it in advance?" Fox News entertainment reporter Eli K. Kuman asked.

"A means of attracting people? I don't know what kind of means will attract movie fans, but I believe that when movie fans hear my name, they will already have the urge to go to the cinema. I don't know if this is a means of attracting people." one?"

He Fang asked back.

"Haha, that's for sure. This is one of the ways to attract people. What about other than that?" Eric Kooman continued to ask.

"On the basis of the script, I added the viewability of the movie, such as action scenes, I believe this will be a completely different "X-Men" action movie that everyone has seen.

In addition, the scenes, production level, lens application and 3D effects of this film will be the best in the history of "X-Men".Because I have used the level of many blockbuster films as a guarantee, I believe that the audience will not be disappointed.

Of course, everyone knows that I have adjusted the cast and added more beautiful actresses. I believe this will be one of the other highlights. "

He Fang seems to be bragging, but in fact he is seeking truth from facts.

"So, is there anything unique or new in the play? I heard that you used your power to modify part of the script?" Eric Kooman asked.

"I can't reveal too much about the script. The audience will be surprised when they see it in the theater. It is definitely not just about justice defeating evil. There are new adjustments in the script. You will know when you go to the theater and watch it."

Where to keep the suspense, the crew must be kept secret. This is the key to attracting audiences to the cinema.

"Then what do you think the new "X-Men" is that the audience wants to see the most? If you were asked to introduce a reason for the audience to enter the theater, what would it be?" Eric Coleman tapped his pen and tilted his head. He asked while holding it up.

"At three o'clock, all the X-Men characters will return, and the group confrontation will be the biggest attraction. The mutants gather to fight. This is the first attraction. The second is time travel to see the distortion of human nature, and the third is to see Point action scenes and special effects scenes.

These are the three most outstanding aspects in my opinion. If I had to list them in detail, there would be too many, such as Annie’s performance of Mystique in the film, Magneto’s sexual relationship with Professor X, etc… "

When He Fang said this, everyone laughed.

"So where do you think the future direction of the X-War series is?" Eric Coleman continued to ask.

"I can't make the decision on this. After all, I'm just the director. I'm afraid that if I give suggestions, it will affect the producer's planned plan, so I won't answer." He Fang refused this answer and wanted to get this from him for free. A way for the series to survive?
Delusion, he would not say.

……

After Fox accepted the interview, the main creator of the crew was assigned to be in charge of separate promotions, and He Fang was also assigned a bunch of promotional projects.

Although the announcement is obligatory and should be, but He Fang was a little upset when he was stared at to complete the relevant publicity.

He is a great international director. It is really uncomfortable for a famous Chinese director to be stared at and urged to work.

Fox is indeed the front line of anti-China media and companies, and even the employees of the Fox film company have different emotions towards China.

That being the case, He Fang also completed the relevant work in a formulaic way. Anyway, he was neither active nor proactive, and he did what should be done when he was urged.

Until June 6, the crew of "Room" had a day off because He Fang and Anni were going to attend the world premiere of "X-Men: Days of Future Past", which was held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.

In addition to having a world premiere, this movie also has a premiere in China and an Asian premiere in the island country. It is going to China to make a lot of money.

However, He Fang couldn't participate because of the filming, but this did not affect the crew to use the gimmick of director He Fang to make a lot of money.

Moreover, there is also Chinese actor Liu Yan in the film, and she is in charge of China's publicity.

This time it really gives Fox Company an opportunity to make serious money in China, and they will not let it go.

……

In fact, Liu Yan and Aragaki Yui came on the 24th. Although they did not participate in the early promotion of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" in North America, they did participate in the early promotion in Asia.

But He Fang didn't have time to see them on the 24th, He Fang wanted to film a movie, and there will be a promotional interview after the filming.

Therefore, he, Liu Yan and Yui Aragaki did not meet until before the premiere on the 25th.

"Sister Yan, long time no see." He Fang really hasn't seen Liu Yan for a long time, so he gave Liu Yan a big hug, and Liu Yan almost couldn't breathe.

"What are you doing, trying to strangle me to death?" Liu Yan said coquettishly, gave He Fang a big white eye, and twisted his waist by the way.

"Hiss, cool, sister Yan, you made me feel so comfortable, I want to do it again."

"Bah, go to hell, why have you become so arrogant and out of tune now? There are still so many people here." Liu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that He Fang was no longer interested in her after not seeing her for a long time.

"It's nice to have a lot of people. It's exciting to have a lot of people. In the public, let's hehe..."

"Bah, bah, bah...you look like a hooligan, I don't know what's in your head." Liu Yan scolded with a smile.

"It's you pretending!"

"..." Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with crystal light, "Bah, I don't know where I learned these earthy love words. I won't talk to you anymore."

Liu Yan was about to leave, but He Fang's next words broke her guard.

"You must have a unique look in a nurse uniform, right?" He Fang said and winked at her.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you."

Liu Yan said and went to say hello to others, and Yui Aragaki, who had been staring at He Fang at this time, came over because she was followed by an assistant, so she was quite formal.

"Hi, Director He, we meet again." Aragaki stretched out her hand to shake He Fang's hand, and then she touched He Fang's palm twice.

He Fang nodded, "Xin Yuan, how are you doing recently?"

"Working?"

"of course."

"It's okay. I recently received two invitations from the crew in China, and I would like to thank Director He." The two Chinese invitations Yui Aragaki mentioned belonged to Tuanhuo Culture.

He Fang's idea, since she wants to make good use of Xinyuan, she has to help her. If she helps her open up the Chinese market, I believe some people will trust her more and delegate more things to her.

"You don't need to thank me, I didn't help you either. I wish you success in your work, and we will cooperate again next time."

"Hey, I'm looking forward to that too."

The communication between the two was very concise and very clear.

After all the crew members gathered, it was arranged to go to the premiere together, and everyone rushed to the Dolby Theater in the crew's car.

When the time came, the premiere red carpet began. Before the official start of the premiere red carpet, there was a brief interview with the crew. Under the host's words, the entire crew gave promotional words for the movie.

The host even asked He Fang what his box office expectation for "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was. He Fang bluntly stated that the goal is to win a global box office of 15.5 billion US dollars.

At first, the host didn't understand why the box office was 15.5 billion US dollars, but He Fang's answer made the host excited.

He Fang's answer is: "The global box office of "The Avengers" is 15.2 billion US dollars, and "X-Men" has a global box office of 15.5 billion US dollars, isn't it too much? Could it be said that Wolverine, Magneto, Professor X, Mystique, Storm, Iceman, Sunspot... Are these mutants worse than Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Thor...they?
I don't believe it, I believe they are all superheroes of the same level, so we won't lose to them. "

"Okay, why is there a high goal, but just now you said that "X-Men" and "Avengers" are on the same level, but why is your box office 3000 million more than "Avengers"?" asked the host .

He Fang smoothed his hair on the back of his head, "Am I not worth the extra 3000 million?"

He Fang's domineering, mighty and confident appearance immediately received applause from the reporters and fans at the scene, while the producer of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" shrugged, liking He Fang's declaration of war.

In the United States, we must have the courage to declare war on our opponents, regardless of whether we win or not, we must have the courage to declare war.

Whose declaration of war is really just courage?In fact, He Fang had ulterior motives.
