China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 345 Fang Xinwu’s ending?

The red carpet ceremony for guests is just like that. Everyone in the industry has come. For He Fang's movie, even if you are not friends, you can just go to the red carpet and take a photo together to post an announcement and earn some traffic.

This is one of the reasons why it should come, who thinks there is too little traffic?
After the guests finished walking the red carpet, He Fang immediately ran to pick up those who were not suitable for the red carpet. There were radio and television leaders...

In the Ministry of Public Security, this is the political achievements of some people, so in order to highlight these, how can it be done if he doesn't invite some leaders to check it?It doesn't matter whether He likes it or not. In the eyes of some people, my political achievements are more important.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is an ordinary movie, but in the internal system, it is to promote the new style and new achievements of the police team and a certain unit fighting on the front line under the new situation.

Anyway, there are quite a lot of people involved, so I won’t go into details about this. The focus of this book is not on this.

When He Fang received this group of people and entered the auditorium, warm applause broke out in the auditorium.

After everyone has arrived and the arrangements are made, the movie starts directly without any unnecessary procedures.

This is one of the styles that domestic media people and film critics like the most about Tuanhuo culture. Instead of letting everyone watch cultural programs, it is better to watch movies directly.

Of course, this may also be because He Fang is not very familiar with some drama theaters, so he cannot invite these veteran actors to perform theatrical performances.

Everyone put on 3D glasses one after another, and the slightly noisy auditorium gradually became quiet. Everyone adjusted their state and began to watch the movie seriously.

The general plot of the movie has not been changed at all, because making changes requires a lot of brainpower and wrangling with the review department.So he didn't want to waste his brains or waste time, so he just dealt with it with a plot that didn't change much.

Although the overall plot has not changed much, there have been major changes in the presentation.

For example, in the opening of the film, if you want to shoot a set of introductions about poisoning, the origin of drugs, and key places where drugs are smuggled into the country, you can use some good-looking shots.

When showing shots such as injections, inhaling powder, smoking, being drugged, etc., He Fang did not cut corners and replaced them with inferior shots. Instead, he used a set of very psychedelic shots, from the objective place to the subjective trance after the drug. The effect of ascending to heaven.

Another Time and Space Lin Chaoxian was a bit sloppy in shooting the opening shots of this film, but for an international director like He Fang, every shot cannot be sloppy, as sloppiness equals a lack of quality.

The movie itself is in 3D, so it gives the audience a solid sense of what poison is.

The next set of shots is the place where the drug is produced, which is connected to the previous set of shots.

In the first set of poisonous shots, the subjective shot is so high that it reaches the sky, and then when the shot falls, it talks about how poppies grow, how they are picked, and how they are processed into poisonous ones.

Then, as the poison was transported away from the factory, as soon as the Qixuan engine turned and the exhaust gas erupted, it immediately turned into a ship that spurted water and drove in the river. Here is an introduction to how the poison reached our country through the Mekong River.

And this place is called 'Ghost Pass'.

Then the title came out - "Operation Mekong"!
Several sets of shots in this opening sequence were completed in one go. It only took 2 minutes to introduce this set. It is compact, the 3D effect is very immersive, the lens is cool, and the basic special effects give full play to the visibility of top special effects... …

"Tsk, great international directors are different, their standards are really high." The praises of colleagues echoed in the auditorium, and people in the industry can tell whether they are of a standard at a glance.

Wu Jing, who was sitting next to He Fang, nodded after watching it. He felt that he had learned a little more about film production. He turned his head and was about to whisper a few words to He Fang, but he saw a hand put into He Fang's pants... …

He immediately turned his head and pretended he didn't see anything.

It's so bold, how could this be done?It feels so exciting.

He Fangze patted that hand, but this hand was not afraid of being slapped at all and still went its own way.

This guy really... dares to challenge the exciting age.

The plot of the movie on the big screen continues, and next is a Chinese cargo ship traveling in the Guimenguan waters of the Mekong River.

This is a true event, a true reconstruction of the Mekong River tragedy.

Again, He Fang made small changes.

The plot of Lam Chaoxian's version of this place did not create a sense of tension and suspense. It just gave people the feeling that this place was narrated for the sake of narration. Movies are not literature, so how can the camera be used just for narration?

Including some shots of the upcoming public security anti-terrorism drill, and Thailand's introduction to the transnational drug trafficking case they solved, the camera quality is very poor, not refined, not cool, and not good-looking. It feels like something shot by a TV drama director.

He Fang will never allow such a situation to happen, and all the lenses have been upgraded. Although it is not necessary to make the lenses have as much information as in art movies, it cannot be just a simple narrative, like a few random shots. Same.

The opening of any movie must be good. The opening of Lin Chaoxian's version of "Operation Mekong" was very substandard, like a TV drama director.

The next plot officially begins to revolve around the Mekong River tragedy. The public security department must catch the murderer who caused the Mekong River tragedy, and then bring him to justice. No one in the Golden Triangle will be allowed to take the lives of Chinese citizens lightly.

If the police don't stand up, the chaos here will be even worse in the future.Strike hard and strike hard, this is the method to be implemented.

The plot generally goes like this, and what follows is how the investigation team leader Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu, who was lurking in the Golden Triangle, teamed up to arrest the Nuoka gang.

The whole plot is very clear. First, a tragedy occurs, then the four countries jointly act, and then Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu unfold separately, openly and secretly.

The plot that follows is actually quite compact. After all, they are constantly looking for and arresting people, hiding while searching, and then start a frantic pursuit in the Golden Triangle.

Because there are various conflicts, various weapons and equipment are put online. When unmanned tanks, unmanned aircraft, surveillance aircraft, etc. appear one by one, the audience becomes even more excited.

Finally, a robot dog with a machine gun appeared...

This shocked a certain leader to the point of being stunned for a moment, then turned to ask the people around him.

"We have this weapon?"

"No, who made this with special effects?" "Huh? How can something that doesn't exist appear? Isn't this an attempt to display virtual information internationally?" the leader said unhappily.

"This movie has gone through many layers of review and approval. Someone should have approved it... How about we ask He Fang to change it?"

"Since it passed their review, forget it." The leader waved his hand impatiently.

The movie is a passionate movie, without too much sensationalism or lengthy discussion. It simply introduces the occurrence of such an incident, and then we strike hard. Finally, through hard work, we catch the murderers of our people and bring them back to the country. By law.

And during this process, the storyline of the movie has always been very compact, which is about how to arrest people and how to solve difficulties.

The process was wonderful and I couldn't fault it.

In particular, He Fang has upgraded many action and gun battle scenes, such as the final water battle scene for Nuoka.Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu fought alone against Song Pita and the crowd. The original film can only be said to be average. Although some thrilling shots were designed, it is not very brilliant.

In the original film, there are just a few machine guns sweeping around, and then showing the superb boating skills.

Such a final battle was not satisfying, so He Fang upgraded it.

First of all, upgrade your weapons. Guns alone are not enough. You also need mines and cannons, such as rocket launchers in the hands of the enemy.

Support came at the last moment, but just a helicopter was not enough. After all, Songbita's gang had a lot of people, and there were more than ten speedboats, so the low-altitude unmanned reconnaissance and attack aircraft flew over and fired four missiles at several speedboats. .

But it was not enough. Song Bita's speedboat was still not eliminated. Song Bita was aiming at Gao Gang. At the critical moment, Fang Xinwu drove the speedboat towards Song Bita's speedboat.

Of course, the action design has also been upgraded in difficulty, allowing the speedboat to fly, turn in the air, fight underwater, and duel in a narrow space on the fast speedboat... In short, the weapons and actions have been fully upgraded.

This episode was very exciting and exciting. The audience was very addicted to watching it and truly saw the excitement of the ultimate duel.

It's just that Fang Xinwu didn't tell Fang Xinwu after he crashed into Sombita in a speedboat. Is he dead or alive?

After this period was over, Nuoka and others were escorted to Kunming, and then the results were given. Nuoka and six others were sentenced to death by the KM City Intermediate People's Court, and then came the farewell ceremony of Roaring Sky Dog.

Finally, there was Gao Gang's conversation with the Director of Narcotics Control, and then Gao Gang recalled his conversation with Fang Xinwu.

Then the movie ends.

Eh, that's not right. Is Fang Xinwu dead?Everyone watched the movie end with this doubt, and then the lights came on, and the audience gave thunderous applause.

There is no way this movie is not sloppy at all, the whole plot is clean and neat, which people have to admire.Applause is the most direct form of praise, and He Fang and the creators also responded to the applause in the front row to thank the audience.

Although the movie ended, many people were still immersed in the movie and did not come out.

It's just... After watching it, interested viewers will think that this gangster movie is a little different from many gangster movies they have seen?
First of all, this is a feeling that goes beyond the scope of police and gangsters, and is more like a counter-terrorism movie or a military movie.

Secondly, this movie is not preachy at all in terms of story, production, or overall feeling. It is just about how to act.

In the end, I feel that this is not a traditional Chinese film of this kind, and it seems to be incompatible with our traditional police and military films.

"Operation Mekong" does not talk about important decisions but highlights the role of leadership and the power of faith. Action in the movie is action, very plain and not artificial.

At the same time, the movie is very cool, close to reality and appropriately exaggerated, showing off very enjoyable, not disgusting.

The movie is neither traditional nor entirely commercial. I have never seen a movie shot like a traditional movie about a great and upright character, but it doesn't feel particularly commercial either. It just feels very simple and down-to-earth, yet very interesting to watch.

Even at the end of the film, there is no commendation meeting or high-spirited speeches. The movie ended in such a simple and unpretentious manner, which made people feel unaccustomed to it for a while.

So when Jingwei came out and invited the creators, she asked the two questions she was most concerned about.

"Director He Fang, I really want to know what the ending of Fang Xinwu will be like? Did he sacrifice or not?" Jing Wei asked immediately.

He Fang smiled at this question, "Don't ask me, I don't know either."

"Ah? You don't know either? Why? Aren't you one of the screenwriters and the director?" Jing Wei asked unexpectedly.

"Yes, I am one of the screenwriters, and I was very conflicted when I was writing. I think Fang Xinwu's death was actually a relief for him, because he was used to seeing darkness, and the people around him also moved away because of the darkness.

He is very tired and swings between black and white every day, but he must persist.But there is no perfect person in this world, who can stick to a heart forever?Of course, we hope to have such heroes, but when people ask others to be heroes, first ask themselves, can they do it?
Don't talk about sacrificing family, friendship, and life for your beliefs. It's very simple. Stick to your heart and don't be greedy. How many people can do that?Many times we ask others to do it when we can't do it ourselves. I think this is unfair.So I would like to think that maybe the sacrifice of such a person would be a relief for him and a perfect ending.

However, when I was making this film, I saw many such people who sacrificed for their beliefs. Many times their sacrifices were anonymous.I suddenly felt that it was unfair that such a hero could not sacrifice his life to the end and lost his life in the end.Therefore, I don’t want Fang Xinwu to die.

Therefore, under this contradiction, Fang Xinwu's ending came to be, that is, an ending without results.I think this is not only my contradiction, but also the contradiction of many viewers. I also hope that everyone will remember that there is a group of people who, for the sake of their beliefs and the interests of our people, do not ask for rewards, do not seek fame and fortune, and sacrifice themselves to fight in invisible ways. The front line of life and death.

And some of us spend all day squandering the fruits of these silently dedicated people for pleasure, money, power, and selfish desires. I hope these people can have some conscience and be less greedy after watching the movie. "

As soon as He Fang finished speaking, there were warm applause, cheers, and whistles. Some of the leaders sitting in the middle and front row nodded, some sneered, and some shook their heads.

"Okay, second question. What kind of movie is this? A police movie? A military movie? Or what type of movie? I personally think it goes beyond the scope of a police movie, but it doesn't reach the level of a military movie, so I Very confused." Jing Wei asked.

He Fang nodded, slowly raised the microphone with his right hand, and put his left hand into his pants pocket.

"This is still a police and gangster film, but it is a police and gangster anti-terrorism action film. Why is it called "Operation Mekong"? It is because it is an anti-terrorism action on the Mekong River case." He Fang's explanation is indeed in line with the film's positioning.

"Then I want to ask, are the military weapons in the film real?"
