The door of Hengdian Fang Mu Film and Television was deserted.

Originally, there were a lot of reporters or fans stuck here.

But now everyone understands Fang Bei's character.

This man likes to be quiet, and he likes to create quietly by himself.

So later, many fans spontaneously maintained order, stopped others from making noise, and also stopped reporters who wanted to break in.

Of course, although they are very kind, they are actually doing useless work.

Because the bodyguards sent by Daddy Su had already surrounded this place with three layers inside and three layers outside.

To be precise, except for the small supermarket at the entrance of the street and Fang Mubian's nail salon that has not opened for a long time, the other stores have been bought, and the store managers and clerks are all disguised by bodyguards.

Even now, the key to the nail salon, Kira Yoshikage, has been handed over to Fang Betsu for safekeeping.

He followed Chen Yongren to pick up other plays.

Anyway, he didn't plan to sell this shop, and he didn't have any business......

He simply left it to Fang Bei to deal with.

And this is where you don't smoke quietly.

Miss Su set the amount for him to be three sticks a day.

He was perfect beyond that.

In order to avoid the smell of smoke, he often went to the nail salon, and then wrapped his index finger and middle finger around toilet paper and smoked with a cigarette.

This feeling is the same as when my parents didn't come home to watch TV secretly when I was a child, and then an ice towel was put on the big butt of the TV and the fan was used to dissipate the temperature.

That's what Tom Smith saw.

As soon as he got off the plane, he came here according to the route that had been sorted out a long time ago.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Fang Bei.

For the first time, he didn't even see that this was Fang Bei.

After all, the farewells he saw at the awards ceremony were the ones that had been taken care of by the eldest lady.

At that time, he was dressed in a riotous white suit and white leather shoes, and his hair was combed into an adult, looking a little handsome.

Now Fang Bei has loose hair, dark circles under his eyes, a scruffy beard, a vest on his upper body and beach pants on his bottom, and he is wearing flip-flops bought for ten yuan in a supermarket on his feet with Erlang's legs.

And then he was smoking a cigarette decadently.

Both fingers are still wrapped in toilet paper.

Tom really didn't recognize Fang Bei at the first time, after all, in his opinion, most Chinese people look the same.

And this decadent young man is too far from the high-spirited Fang Bei (he thinks).

But when he knocked on the door for a long time, there was no reaction from Fang Mu's company.

Next to him, he lay on the recliner and said lazily: "Don't knock, there is no one in this company now." ”

Tom Smith walked over and asked with a smile in stiff Mandarin, "Hello, do you know where all the people in this company have gone?"

Wu Kai was filming a movie on the set, Liu Mang was probably there, and Su Mulin went to the capital. The other actors all took over the scene and filmed outside. Fang Bei replied lazily.

Tom nodded, "What about Mr. Fang? ”

Fang Bei pointed to himself with a thumbs up: "Isn't this lying down." ”

Tom: "......"

He was silent for a long time, carefully looking Fang Bei up and down.

Finally, he still found some clues in Fang Bei's eyes - he, like Fang, completely regarded himself as an ordinary person.

This familiar look is right!

"Fang, why are you dressed like this?"

"Huh, who are you?"

Don't be strange, who is this foreigner, so familiar.

"It's me. "Tom takes off his sunglasses mask," Tom Smith. ”

Well, this name Fang wants to complain once if you don't look at it once...... Fang Bei got up in "surprise": "Oh oh! it turned out to be dear Tom, why did you come to Huaguo?"

"Fang, I'm here to see you. Tom looked back at Fang Mu's company and frowned slightly: "Fang, this is not a place to talk, can you go to your villa to talk." ”

"Villa ......" Fang Bei got up and opened the door of Fang Mu's company, "I will live in the company." ”

Where did he come from?

Maybe there was a chance......

In fact, there is a chance now, but don't be lazy, he thinks where to live is not to live?

And this place is usually not visited by many people, so it is quiet and convenient.

There is air conditioning in the summer, underfloor heating in the winter, and the internet is not stuck.

What kind of bicycle do you need?

Tom was shocked.

He didn't expect the father of superheroes to live in this kind of place!

In his understanding, even if a great director of this level is not a super-large villa that occupies an entire hill like him, how can it be at the level of Beverly Hills, right?

But I live in a small two-story building......

Tom seemed to understand something.

"Fang, you really still love movies. ”

Before coming, Tom also learned about the Chinese film and television industry.

There is no doubt that Fang Bei is being excluded and suppressed here.

He handed over the two scripts to someone else to shoot, maybe it was a compromise, maybe it was a silent confrontation.

But don't be, it's a love for movies.

Why else would he live in the company?

Isn't it for the sake of better creation?

Otherwise, with his current reputation in China, as long as he is willing to go along with the dirt, then he will be the signature of the Chinese film and television industry!

Tom was not worth it, but he was also moved by him.

Even if it is not understood by everyone, it is necessary to set things right by yourself and completely revitalize the movies of your motherland.

Tom wiped the corners of his eyes: "Fang, you are really a great director, and you are also a person who has escaped from low-level interests. ”

Farewell: "???"

What does this guy mean?

I'm just living in the company, what's wrong with that?

And this company lives in a much more comfortable kennel than he Los Angeles, okay!

Tsk, the big dog who lives in the villa doesn't understand the people's suffering, it's really annoying.

I don't know why Tom moved me there, anyway, I don't take him to the living room, and then take two ice cokes and throw him a can.

After that, he opened it and took a big sip of it, and hiccuped: "Hiccup~ Tom, why did you come to Huaguo, didn't your movie be released at the end of the year? ”

Thanks to Liu Mang's absence, otherwise I don't know what to do.

Hearing this, Tom put down the unopened Coke, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes burning: "Fang, I'm here for you." ”

Fang Bei shuddered: "I'm not GAY. ”

Then after a pause, he added: "Don't worry, I don't discriminate against you." ”

As long as you don't yell at others to discriminate against you every day, and then make a lot of hype to annoy others.

Tom was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Fang, I'm not GAY, my girlfriends have changed a lot, but I'm just an unmarried." ”

He squeezed his eyes and lowered his voice: "And to be honest, I'm also quite annoyed by that circle, but few people on our side dare to say this kind of thing openly." ”

Fang Bei nodded.

Masaji is right, he understands.

"Then why are you coming to me?"

They all said they were going to challenge me, and they wanted to come to see me?

You're not GAY.

Speaking of this topic, Tom was much more serious: "Fang, I want to apologize to you in person. But I openly challenged you, but also for your own good, but also for the development of the film. ”

The more he understood, the more he wanted Fang not to go out.

Only Hollywood is where he should be.

To be honest, he didn't want to waste his talent.

Of course, there is also a little bit of selfishness.

Then he has too few opponents, and those people in the past are all old, and they gradually don't have the energy to make movies anymore.

The directors of the Mesozoic generation are living in the shadow of his "tyrant".

None of the younger generation can fight.

He was lonely.

And without challenges, you can't progress.

He felt like he had been in the bottleneck for ten years.

It wasn't until he saw the "superhero" movie brought by Fang Bei that he found a new feeling.

This is not to say that the film and television industry in this world is a pool of stagnant water and has no vitality.

It's not that Fang Bei has brought much more than everyone else.

It's not about which is better and which is not.

Were the Hollywood movies of the past good? Very good.

The superheroes, bullet time, etc., brought by Fang Bei, give people more of a sense of novelty.

As for movies that are out of this world...... Fang Bei hasn't reached that level yet.

I haven't seen his movie once, and I haven't won the best picture.

Tom didn't know that Hua Guo had such an allusion as "Hurt Zhongyong", but he had a similar idea.

He felt that Fang Bei should swim out of the fishpond of the Chinese film and television industry and swim in the sea of Hollywood.

But Fang Bei is determined to revitalize Chinese films and is reluctant to go out, geniuses have quirks and persistence, and they all have extreme self-confidence, this Tom can understand.

But he couldn't wait.

Don't be too young, maybe twenty years later, he will go out of China and go to the world.

He was even in his forties at the time.

But Tom couldn't wait that long.

He was already old by then.

If he can't collide and progress with Fang Bei when he is at his peak, he won't be reconciled.

Fang Bei scratched his cheeks, he planned to change the subject: "Let's not talk about this for now." Tom, is your new movie really a remake of my "Captain China"?"

"Actually, not exactly, I used "Captain America" as the title, which was actually a challenge. Tom smiled confidently, "Fang, this time I have combined depth and entertainment into one, this is probably my new peak." ”

He didn't shy away from it, and directly told Fang Bei the general plot of the movie and some of the things he wanted to express.

After listening to his general description, Fang Bei had a slight sense of familiarity.

As we all know, Fang Bei was a senior anime game nerd in his previous life.

And he actually prefers manga to animation, which can be reflected in the fact that he learned to draw.

Speaking of comics,In addition to Japanese comics and some good Chinese comics before he crossed over,American comics are naturally a category he likes very much。

Speaking of Meiman, we naturally have to say those two giants.

During his second year of secondary school, he also liked some more in-depth or darker superhero comics and movies.

He loved "The Punisher", "Watchmen", "The Dark Knight", "Laughing Bat", "Batman: Deadly Joke" and so on, and even bought a physical comic book collection.

In his opinion, Tom's film ...... There's a little bit of the shadow of the Watcher and the Dark Knight.

Tom explained, "Fang, it was actually your Shadow of Light that inspired me. In my opinion, this movie is certainly a superhero movie, and it also ties the worlds of the two films together, which is really amazing. But what amazes me even more is your efforts to dig into the connotation of superhero movies. The protagonist of "Shadow of Light" is not a superhero in the traditional sense of the word, in my opinion, how can I say it...... I invented a word, anti-hero.

The protagonist of this movie is actually not the character of Wei Guangzheng from the beginning, and in the end he breaks the constraints of the law, but is he a good person? There is no doubt that he is. ”

"It was also the box office of this film in China that gave me confidence, in fact, adding some elements worth thinking about in Chaoying, the results may not be very bad. Tom shrugged, "Of course, I wouldn't be as bold as you at first, so I set a rule for my superhero movie protagonist, which is to never kill." ”

In fact, Fang Bei also gave him more inspiration.

For example, the "transcendent humans" who surpass humans.

Yan Shuangying in "Captain China" is just a super soldier who has been injected with serum to reach the limit of the human body.

Superpowers appear in "Shadow of Light".

is worthy of being the world's top director, and the level of drawing inferences is high...... Fang Bei smiled and said: "No matter what, we have to withstand the test of the market, and it is useless for the two of us to say anything here." ”

After all, movies are meant to be watched by people.

"Fang, tell you about my movie in advance because I have an idea. Tom smiled slyly, "Do you want to make a bet?" ”

As soon as Fang Bei heard the bet, he thought of Yan Shuangying's dollar coin, and he said angrily: "What to bet on." ”

"Box office. Tom was aggressive, "As long as my film outperforms your two screenplays at the box office in China, you'll come to Hollywood, how about it?"

He could not tolerate Fang Bei continuing to stumble in China.

"I'm not going to Hollywood for a while because I still have a lot to do. Fang Bei smiled, "But I took this bet, but the bet has to be changed." If you win, I'll go to Hollywood and make a movie. But if I win......"

Fang Bei suddenly had a serious expression: "I want you to admit in front of the media that Chinese movies are not bad." ”
