Filming "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", He Fang felt that the most difficult thing was not filming, but acting. Especially Sun Wukong's performance, Deng Chao's performance is not effective, like this kind of situation, the proficiency is not enough, and the role has not been immersed into the soul, it takes time, and it is like acting after a long time, so it must be NG several times.

Although he knows what the reason is, the director has to give it when he is under pressure.

"Deng Chao, what are you doing? Why does it not work when it doesn't work? It must be that you don't practice enough, don't think that you will float after winning an actor. From now on, don't go back to your own appearance, keep wearing the makeup of the Monkey King. This is true for eating, and the same is true for sleeping, except for bathing. ”

Deng Chao was directly scolded by He Fang, and immediately he put away his contemptuous heart and nodded seriously.

"Okay, director, I'll do it."

Including Huang Xiaoming, the Tang Seng who plays sometimes floats, especially when he smiles, why is there always a sense of evil that does not belong to Tang Seng? Another point is that Huang Xiaoming's Tang Seng is not weak enough, and he does not have a feeling like a weak scholar.

He Fang caught Huang Xiaoming and criticized him, Huang Xiaoming didn't dare to talk back, so he had to ask with a smile:

"Director, how do I solve this problem?" Huang Xiaoming is very modest, he also wants to have good acting skills, who doesn't want to? It is said that he will train the actors, so he has nothing to ask.

He Fang lit a cigarette and watched the performance on the monitor over and over again, "Smile without showing teeth, if you must laugh, smile with your eyes, don't even twitch your apple muscles too much, let's try it once." ”

Huang Xiaoming had to try again, and this time it worked very well.

Also, don't react too much when you express fear and anxiety, when you encounter panic, only use your pupils to express it, and then you immediately make a sutra recitation to calm the fear and anxiety in your heart. From tonight onwards, go back and recite the "Diamond Sutra", which can assist you in entering the role of Tang Seng. If you can memorize a few more scriptures, the effect will be even better. If you want to play a monk, you have to really recite the scriptures. ”

"Ah, okay, okay, director, blame me for not doing my preparations." Huang Xiaoming nodded seriously.

He Fang nodded and didn't say anything.

"By the way, if you want to play a weak Tang Seng who is like a scholar well, you'd better experience the feeling of floating under your feet, so that from now on, you don't eat, just drink water, eat some fruit, and then run two laps before going to the play tomorrow morning to see the effect. If you can't find the feeling tomorrow, don't eat tomorrow until you find the feeling. ”

"Huh?" Huang Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, director." ”

After hearing this, the other actors immediately covered their mouths and laughed, He Fang glanced at them, and everyone was frightened.

"Don't gloat, if anyone doesn't play well, I will also use corresponding methods to train you."

Everyone unconsciously shrunk their necks, feeling cold behind them.

"Acting is not so easy, thinking that a good performance really depends on writing a few analytical texts, watching a few similar performances, and then imitating it?"

"Just like you, Yanran, didn't you boast in front of reporters that Haikou can act well? If you can't play that kind of hatred for humans, I will let the crew take turns scolding you every day until you collapse to the point of endless hatred. ”

"You, Pan Zhilin, after you go back, recite more "Great Compassion Mantra", Guanyin must be merciful, and you can't just be sweet."

"Oh, okay, director." Pan Zhilin stuck out her tongue and nodded in response.

After such a whole situation, the previous relaxation of all the actors disappeared immediately, and they all tried to find a way to find a state for themselves, for fear that the director would reprimand them

He Fang walked through each actor on the first day, and he reprimanded all those who couldn't do it, and then assigned different tasks to each of them.

In the first three days, it was all about running in on acting skills and getting them into the state. In order to help them find a state, the means of constant NG will also be used.

Sometimes constant NG also has a certain effect, which is to allow the actor to integrate certain performances into the memory of the muscles.

Why is there such strict requirements for the actors' performances in this play? The reason is very simple, what kind of urban films, science fiction films, you play a little more than the general audience can see.

But if you want to play in a mythological drama or a magic drama, the general audience will not be right at first glance. For example, Sun Wukong, you act too much like a human, and the audience will feel that this is not Sun Wukong. For example, Tang Seng, you look evil and wise, and you run away like a thief, this is not Tang Seng.

After the first three days of running-in, the whole crew finally had the feeling of entering "Journey to the West", otherwise the feeling at the beginning was just a grass stage team singing the big drama "Journey to the West", and at a glance, you can know that it is singing, not real.

Of course, as soon as these three days pass, basically the National Day has passed, and the box office of the National Day file has also come out.

"Scorching Sun" won 34.74 million, 36.86 million, 39.21 million, 41.33 million, 42.31 million, 41.89 million and 38.65 million respectively in seven days on the National Day, plus the box office on September 29 and 30, and finally won the box office championship of the National Day file with 306 million.

And "Painted Wall" followed closely behind, winning the runner-up with 157 million, no way, the story of "Painted Wall" is really a bit crotch-pulling.

"The Legend of the White Snake" was third, winning the third place with 113 million, anyway, the loss is definitely a loss, and it is not bad to get a box office of more than 100 million.

"The Legend of the White Snake" was suppressed, and Yang Shi and Huang Shengyi were silent later, but Cheng Xiaodong was very unhappy, and Jet Li was not happy.

After all, the two of them are seniors in the film and television industry, how can you deal with Yang Paper, but you have to sell the face of the two of them, right?

How many people in the film and television industry will know Yang Paper? More people will still say that "The Legend of the White Snake" is a movie between Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li. But Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li were bullied in the mainland, how can they save face?

So Jet Li and Cheng Xiaodong, who returned to Hong Kong, said this separately in an interview.

Cheng Xiaodong: "Don't mess with the second generation in China, the energy is scary." They won't tell you anything about your predecessors or not, and your movie will be withdrawn when it says it will be withdrawn. Filmmakers like this also say that they are representatives of the new generation in the mainland, heh......"

Cheng Xiaodong didn't say anything too harsh, but his tone and ridicule said it all. It means that he lost face in the mainland and did not respect him.

Jet Li said a little more tactfully: "This matter is indeed the fault of the producer of "The Legend of the White Snake", but some people's practices are too extreme and should not be. When the movie is released, it's normal for everyone to make noise for the box office, if you don't have this belly, what can you talk about becoming bigger and stronger? ”

The words of Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li were immediately transmitted back to the mainland, which immediately caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet.

In particular, some liberals jumped up and pointed the finger at He Fang and the Lake Film Group.

"What if you win an international award? also brazenly said that he wanted to lead Chinese films to glory, and this kind of behavior of suppressing competitors at every turn is destroying the market rules that have been established with great difficulty. Nationalization must be resolutely prohibited, privatization is the beginning of fairness, and marketization is the ultimate goal. ”

"It's really a bit embarrassing to do it this time, and it's very inappropriate to withdraw gear and suppress the opponent."

"He Fang is just a representative of some people who hold old ideas and do not die, they are still stubbornly insisting on nationalization, privatization is the way out, nationalization is dead, nationalization is synonymous with corruption, big pot rice, low efficiency, backward, outdated, embracing the West is the way out."

"He Fang is indeed talented, but the ideology of the privileged class is unacceptable, and this practice is now disgraced and thrown to Hong Kong, and will soon be thrown overseas."

……

Suddenly, there was a scolding on the Internet about the Lake Film Group and where it was, there is no way, this era is like this, no matter how much you scold life and death in China, as long as someone says a good word outside, you are wrong and right.

In the same way, even if you are justified, if what you do in China is said badly by someone outside, there will be a crowd in China who will attack you.

This siege came relatively suddenly, which caused Tuanhuo Culture and Huying Group to be caught off guard for a while.

At the same time, Zhang Qian found out where he was on the set for the first time and asked him how to deal with it.

After understanding the situation before and after, He Fang smoked a cigarette silently, and after thinking for a while, he made the following arrangements.

"First of all, you hurry up and take screenshots, these are the people who are scolding us now, how did they say when the Lake Cinema Line made a withdrawal before, it must be fast, and if it is slow, they will delete it, and pick out some of the things that were praising Lake Ying right before, and now they are scolding us for doing it wrong."

Zhang Qian immediately understood what it meant, and then he hurriedly took out the phone and called the company's publicity department.

After he finished arranging this matter, He Fang had already finished smoking the second cigarette.

"Secondly, it is to be reasonable with facts. Let's just say that Huying Group was the injured party before, and it was continuously questioned, since the manufacturer of the product questioned that it was a merchant who sold products on behalf of the manufacturer, how could the merchant explain that it was unreasonable for people to scold and scold and not sell his things? Isn't it freedom? It's also to prove his innocence. How did it become a repression? Could it be that we have been questioned three times and twice, and we don't even have the right not to sell other people's things? What is the rationale for this? ”

After He Fang finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Qian and nodded non-stop.

"Again, one important thing to emphasize. Our Chinese people are extremely unconfident, and they obviously do reasonable things, as long as they are said to be wrong outside, the psychology of the Chinese people will be fragile and collapse, and then follow the outsiders to scold together. But is that the case? Find some examples, such as the example of some of us kneeling down when outsiders say we're wrong. ”

"For example, people on the outside say that we are a threat every day, and then they really think that we are threatening others. As a matter of fact, people drove reconnaissance planes to our doorstep every day, and as soon as we expelled them, they called us a threat and a provocation. But what about the facts? Is it that people are holding guns at our doorstep, and we can't defend ourselves anymore? However, some people in China cooperated with them and said that we should not be so tough and should not scare others. ”

"You can look for this kind of example again, and it roughly means this, that is, to counter the others in their words, as soon as we say that we don't treat them, we will indiscriminately follow others to coax them, which is our fault."

"And then I was brainwashed every day to 'think independently', but in the face of other people's rhythm, some people lost the ability to 'think independently'."

Finally, break the third trap of their rhetoric, which is to oppose nationalization and privatize. This one...... Tsk, I'd better write it, it's a hassle to say. ”

He Fang put out his cigarette, went to find a few pieces of paper, and then sat there and wrote.

He wrote down all the benefits of nationalization, such as the comparison of domestic and foreign telecommunications, the difference between foreign private and domestic state-owned, why there is no signal in foreign rural areas, and the charges are quite expensive, and the domestic telecommunications signal to the villages, the tariff is cheaper.

For example, roads, railways, hydropower...... In short, a large number of examples are given to refute that privatization is not good.

And then he wrote about why the West is calling for privatization in China every day, that is, to privatize Chinese companies, and then foreign capital comes in and buys them, and finally they control our economy.

For example, the toothpaste we were once familiar with is now actually controlled by foreign countries, such as shampoo, such as edible oil, such as feed, such as beer, such as cola and beverages......

Anyway, I gave a lot of examples, that is, how foreign capital quietly controlled our assets after we privatized some industries.

Therefore, some of the people who call for privatization every day are people who buy domestic industries for foreign capital, not necessarily for the good people of China.

He Fang wrote several pieces of paper, but fortunately He Fang crossed over, otherwise there would be no way to take them.

He Fang has experienced the era of the domestic trend of thought, because of the awakening of the Chinese people, everyone has begun to analyze the rhythm of outsiders in our country in those years, and the history of what they did with the West.

It just so happens that everyone has seen it and researched it, so I am familiar with and understand their routine.

After Zhang Qian roughly read what He Fang wrote, everyone was shocked, where is his vision so high? See so deeply? What he didn't even know much about before, suddenly became clear after reading what He Fang wrote.

"Okay, is there anything else arranged?" Zhang Qian asked.

"Of course, you tell Huang Dong and Mr. Wang that they will hold a press conference to explain the remarks of Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li. We must say that we have a reputation that has to be counterattacked, and we must say that Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li are ways to solve problems with righteousness rather than rules. ”

"Also, let's say that the words of Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li have had an impact on the reputation of Huying Group, I hope they will make their words clear, and I also hope that they will know that as influential people, talking casually will bring unnecessary trouble to others and bring bad consequences to themselves."

After He Fang finished speaking, Zhang Qian opened his mouth, embarrassed to say, but what he meant, 'Do we want to be so tough'?

"Don't worry about it, these people will only be honest if you beat them and they are afraid, the more you retreat, the more they will think that you are easier to bully, and the more they will gain an inch."

"Okay, I see." After Zhang Qian finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

He Fang took out a cigarette again, lit it, he smoked it slowly, not in a hurry at all, waiting for him to film.

He Fang sighed a little, it has only been a month, and when he was in Venice, he was still very polite to Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li, but he didn't expect this to happen.

He sincerely respects Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li, and Chinese culture in the world can be accepted by everyone without contradiction.

And Cheng Xiaodong and Jet Li have made contributions to the spread of Chinese kung fu.

Unexpectedly, I had to get on the bar with the people I once respected.

Sure enough, don't talk about feelings in the entertainment industry, it's all about interests.
