"Ah...... Where, where, where, where......"

When the crew of "Pacific Rim" appeared in a theater in Shanghai, the audience cheered excitedly, and He Fang was also quite moved by this scene, so he could only keep putting his hands together and thanking the audience.

"Thank you, thank you all for your support."

Next, under the maintenance of the host, the normal roadshow process was completed, and the audience was very enthusiastic, and of course, the reporters who came were also enthusiastic.

"Who is the director, did the $10.6 million box office on the first day in North America meet your expectations?"

"It's not much different, it's a little worse than I imagined, but it's not that far worse than I imagined."

"And what do you expect?" The journalist asked.

"It's going to cost $15 million, and it will take some time for North American audiences to accept a sci-fi blockbuster from Sino-US cooperation, and it's not bad now." He Fang said bluntly.

"What about the box office in other regions? What is it like to think? ”

"The rest of the world did better than expected, and the first day of $26.5 million was already very rare. After all, it still takes a process for Chinese science fiction films to go global, and it can't be achieved overnight. ”

"How long do you think it will take for Chinese sci-fi films to become as popular as Hollywood sci-fi films?" The reporter asked this question very well.

"Then I can't predict this, it depends on several factors, one is whether China has a continuous output of excellent science fiction films, the second is whether the global audience is accustomed to Chinese science fiction movies, and the third is that the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people will make foreign audiences take the initiative to understand Chinese culture. Therefore, when these conditions can be met, then our blockbusters can be accepted by global audiences like Hollywood blockbusters. ”

"So don't be blindly arrogant and think that our good movies should conquer audiences around the world. Don't give up on yourself because you didn't get good results, any achievements are accumulated slowly, not suddenly. Chinese films need patience and need to develop slowly and down-to-earth, and when they develop to a certain extent, they will naturally come to fruition. ”

He Fang said it very objectively, he didn't blindly brag about it, and he didn't say anything discouraged.

Because the release of "Pacific Rim" has made some Chinese people seem to have been beaten with chicken blood, they can't wait to make "Pacific Rim" popular with global audiences.

Once the truth is contrary to what they think, and there is even a gap, they will be deflated all of a sudden, and even have hopeless emotions.

In the past, we couldn't make good movies, so there was no hope.

Now if they are hopeless, if they don't accept it abroad, they will feel that it has nothing to do with technology, it must be that our culture is inferior, and they will think that heroes should be big guys like white people.

The first technical blow, and then the cultural blow, will make some people completely lie down and accept the baptism of Hollywood blockbusters.

Therefore, what is the word is to pour cold water on those who have been beaten with chicken blood, and give confidence to those who have hopeless emotions after rational analysis.

You can't be blindly arrogant, and you can't blindly give up on yourself.

Sometimes people are prone to go to two extremes, once they have some achievements, they are easy to go to the extremes of self-esteem, and once they experience setbacks, they will give birth to the extremes of lying flat and being trampled by others.

At this time, someone needs to rationally balance this extreme, and we must not go astray.

For example, South Korea is like this, their extremes are very extreme, and this is because they need a kind of self-confidence to make up for their inferiority after losing their sovereignty, so they have become a cosmic country, creating a set of pseudo-history to package themselves as if the world civilization originated in Korea.

"In other words, we still have a long way to go, but Director He has already given us a hope, so I hope that Chinese films will continue to create brilliance under the leadership of Director He." The moderator concluded his remarks.

"Okay, don't be proud or discouraged, come on, where!" Someone in the audience shouted.

"Come on, where!"

……

The atmosphere was very good, so this event was also very popular on the Internet.

"I think what He Fang said is very good, don't be arrogant, don't give up on yourself, down-to-earth is the way out. Without the ruins of the ruins more than two years ago, how could there be today's "Pacific Rim"? Some people don't want to pour cold water every day, no matter how much cold water is splashed, it can't extinguish the enthusiasm of people. ”

"I think it's already very good, $10.6 million on the first day in North America and $26.5 million on the first day in the world, which is obviously a good result, at least "Pacific Rim" will not lose money and will make money, is this a bad result? Who can do this with their first blockbuster? ”

"Come on, where. I poured cold water on him two years ago when he proposed to industrialize films, but when I saw "Pacific Rim" in the cinema, I regretted that why should we pour cold water on people who do things instead of supporting them? So, I will support it. ”

It's just that the first day of the North American movie box office was not very ideal, and the whole network thought that "Pacific Rim" failed at the North American box office.

Could it be that not taking the first place in the hearts of the audience is a failure?

Or is the mentality of the people suffering from gains and losses too serious?

There may be many reasons, but anyway, the focus is not on analyzing the national mentality, but on doing a good job of propaganda.

I went to three theater roadshows in Shanghai, and the rest was local media interviews and Hollywood stars to feel the taste of Shanghai.

The roadshow in Shanghai completed this guest, it is already the twenty-ninth year of the big year, so it is more appropriate to go to Guangzhou to experience the Chinese New Year's Eve with a heavier taste of the year.

Because the flavor of the New Year in the south is heavier than that in the north, there are more activities, and there are more traditional items retained in the south.

Just the traditions of the Spring Festival Flower Market and the Lion Dance and Dragon Dance make the New Year's flavor even stronger, plus the Chaoshan Ying song and dance, it is really flavorful.

Therefore, after arriving in Guangzhou, the excited Hollywood stars have to go shopping in the flower street, in Guangzhou's BJ Road, the Pearl River is very lively, the key is that there are flower boats, and the lights are very lively.

"Wow, this feels different." After the disguise, everyone was amazed.

Don't say a few foreigners, even a few Chinese creators haven't felt it, Wu Jing said that he has felt some in Hong Kong, but he hasn't felt it in the mainland.

This is completely different from the taste of the north, and even different from Hunan, it does not have such a strong taste.

Everyone had a lot of fun, even if it was more than one o'clock in the morning, they didn't notice, if it weren't for the reminder of the staff of the accompanying China Film Southern Shinkansen, I really didn't want to go back to the hotel.

"Wow, that's great, it's great, will it be so lively when we go to Hong Kong tomorrow night?" Jason asked.

"Of course." Wu Jing gave a reply, he had stayed so he knew.

At the same time as everyone is hotly discussed, the box office on the second day of domestic release has also been released, 39.09 million, which is about the same as yesterday, and the box office before the first day of the Lunar New Year has nothing to say, the key is to wait for the New Year.

In addition to the heavy flavor of the New Year, Guangzhou also has a point that food is the representative of the country, after all, it is one of the four major cuisines of Cantonese cuisine and one of the representatives of Chinese cuisine.

So the next day's propaganda cut corners, ran three theaters, accepted interviews with three local media, and spent the rest of the time eating and playing.

Originally, it was a wonderful Chinese New Year's Eve, but after arriving in Hong Kong that night, it made people feel a little evil.

Because they just collapsed the hotel, they were surrounded by the paparazzi who heard the news, so let's surround it, it doesn't matter if you ask some questions about the movie, but what are they asking?

"Why, do you think that making some movies that give chicken blood to the mainland can feed the poor people in the mainland?"

"Why, why is there a plot in the movie "Pacific Rim" where Hong Kong is attacked and retreated? Do you have a prejudice about Hong Kong? So you want to be destroyed by monsters? ”

"Where, I heard that you can be a maid three times in one night, does it have any relationship with Fan Bingbing?"

……

Obviously, this is something they are deliberately trying to disgust somewhere, and it is a very vicious kind of disgusting.

"What does this mean for the quality of Hong Kong journalists? What questions are you asking? Wu Jingxian couldn't help it, he was furious.

"Wu Jing, don't you know, this is in Hong Kong, this is our way of entertainment news, I can't stand it, don't mix in the entertainment industry." The reporter shouted arrogantly, feeling that they were even more dicks than stars.

It's really speechless, Wu Jing wanted to argue with them again, but was stopped by He Fang.

"I know that paparazzi in Hong Kong are more annoying than dogs, so I hardly come to Hong Kong to do publicity. Your question made me feel that you are worse than I thought. I've heard that it doesn't matter what the celebrity you ask answers, what matters is how you gossip in the media to make the newspaper sell. So, I'm not going to answer your boring questions, just write how you like. ”

He Fang sneered and then pulled them away to leave.

"Wow, mainland boy, are you scared? Look at your tone, do you look down on us? "One of the reporters is about to poke the microphone into He Fang's teeth, very arrogant.

"yes, I just look down on you, what's wrong?" He Fang glanced at this reporter contemptuously.

"Oh, okay, you have a kind, then let Hong Kong people see how you, a mainlander who looks down on us, want to come to Hong Kong to make money."

Saying that, the reporters snorted, and then the group dispersed from where they were, and instead went to surround a few Hollywood stars.

"Director He, don't care, this group of them ...... like this" Wu Jing also wanted to comfort him.

"It's okay, mix this circle, what if you don't have a thick skin? Let them be. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, he shook his head with a wry smile.

At this time, reporters surrounded several Hollywood stars for interviews, and felt that their attitude towards Hollywood stars had completely turned 180 degrees, like licking dogs......

"Jason, what do you think of Pacific Rim at the North American box office? Would it have been better if the film had been made in Hollywood? ”

"Chris, can you eat enough when filming in Chinese mainland? Is there meat to eat? "Listening to this reporter's accent, it feels like a reporter from Taiwan Province, and no matter how vicious a Hong Kong reporter is, he will not ask such a thing without common sense.

"Brythe, what are your plans for filming this year?"

"Channing ......"

Don't say who thinks it's disgusting to help reporters, it's that even a few Hollywood stars think they're disgusting, they just smiled gentlemanly and didn't answer the question, and then everyone got in the car and left.

These reporters made people feel very bad, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, He Fang didn't want to say anything, after they checked in at the Shangri-La Hotel, they booked a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and then after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they went to Victoria Harbour to watch the fireworks.

Stephen Chow said that he had already prepared a place for them, so he listened to Stephen Chow's arrangement.

At about half past eleven, they went out in disguise, only to find that the paparazzi had already spotted them and followed them all the way.

He Fang felt disgusting, but he couldn't help it.

"Hey, this way, this ......" He Fang was called away by Stephen Chow as soon as they got out of the car.

That's right, they came to the pier, ready to watch the fireworks on a cruise ship, and they couldn't watch it at all if they didn't watch it on a cruise ship, and the places with good locations were crowded.

"Happy New Year, Director He." Stephen Chow was wearing a red Tang suit, which was quite festive.

"Happy New Year, Master Xing."

"Wow, Stephen Chow?" Chris Hemsworth was the first to exclaim.

"Hi Chris, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, congratulations...... Happy, fat, rich. ”

"Huh? Will this be said? Come, come, Wishing you prosperity. Stephen Chow took out a red envelope and gave it to Chris.

“。” Chris was thrilled to receive the red envelope.

So the next few people got red envelopes, and after getting on the boat, Stephen Chow beckoned everyone to sit down, and then asked the captain to go to see the location of the fireworks.

"Director He, I heard that you had a conflict with the paparazzi?" Stephen Chow threw a cigarette to He Fang and said.

"You know that?" He Fang was surprised.

"Of course, the paparazzi in Hong Kong have already spoken, you bullied Cheng Xiaodong in the mainland, so you won't have a good time coming to Hong Kong. The news that you look down on Hong Kong people has made headlines, don't you know? ”

"......" He Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is really special.

"However, don't pay attention to them, the news of the paparazzi, Hong Kong people know the routine. Your lace news hasn't come out yet, and you probably haven't taken the right photo yet, so you have to be careful. ”

"Huh? The paparazzi in Hong Kong ...... It's a bad atmosphere. He Fang complained.

"You've only been besieged by them for a day, and we've been facing it for decades. I haven't congratulated you yet, I've watched "Pacific Rim" really awesome. Come, everyone, welcome to Hong Kong, today Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you all a happy New Year, a happy New Year, all the best, and a great fortune! ”

"Make a fortune, come, cheers."

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Hey, Stephen, why not liquor? It's still a good liquor and strong. Jason shook his glass and said.

"Huh? Liquor? Uncle Liu, is there any liquor on board? ”
