He Fang breathed a sigh of relief when the Spring Festival stalls rushed up, at least his revised "Pacific Rim" did not pull his hips, it was not inferior to the original, it was only better than the original.

The original film also got a box office of 700 million in China, which was a box office of 30 days after its release, and now the domestic box office of "Pacific Rim" has reached 707 million ten days after its release.

Therefore, he has improved, not worse.

There is nothing to say about the propaganda in London, and the attitude of the ground company is very perfunctory, but it doesn't matter where they are, this is an attitude, an attitude towards the European audience, proving that they did not pay attention to the European audience, they at least came.

Of course, the audience who came to cheer them were mainly Chinese and international students, who thought that "Pacific Rim" was just a movie, but for Chinese and international students, it was a part of their pride.

At the end of the last event of the afternoon, He Fang was suddenly stopped by a question from the BBC.

"Director He Fang, when you were doing propaganda in Hong Kong, you analyzed Hong Kong's problems, and you artificially thought that Britain was causing trouble, isn't it because of the return to China that it will get worse? Why would you think that Britain is behind the trouble? ”

He Fang was stunned for a moment, "After the 90s, Russia, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries and regions have accepted the democratic methods of the West. ”

"After they adopted democracy, what country didn't have an opposition party that they supported? Which country's policies for the benefit of the country and the people have been successfully implemented? All of them are caught up in the internal party strife of each country. ”

"There were two dynasties in China, one called the Song Dynasty and the other called the Ming Dynasty, and both of these dynasties were very strong economically and technologically, but they both died in the end. They all died on the same thing, and that was party strife. When one day Britain is also caught in the middle of partisanship, you will feel the harm caused by the opposition parties you support in these countries and regions. ”

He Fang turned around and left after answering, there is no need to talk to the BBC about these topics, what they are best at is taking words out of context, using filters, and then spreading rumors and smearing.

But you ignore them, they are like a peggy dog, and it's really annoying.

"Director He, that's a good point. You don't know what to pretend to be in your head, you can pull out some truth in everything, and we who are less educated sometimes only think about solving it by force. Wu Jing patted He Fang after following behind.

He Fang smiled bitterly: "Brother Jing, you have also seen this circle of global propaganda running down, in fact, everyone is really full of malice towards us, why is this?" It's not just that they want China to go back to a hundred years ago and become their other colonies, at least like Japan and South Korea, so that they can plunder us at will. ”

"The civilization of Westerners is all lies and pretenses for the whole world, and they just colonize and plunder in a different way. So, our image abroad is portrayed by them as demons, and within us they have cultivated thousands of leading party, all of whom have one purpose, let's go back to a hundred years ago when we were at their mercy and plunder. ”

"At this time, personal force really can't solve the problem, unless it surpasses Bruce Lee. The only way now is to make ourselves strong, and then find a rough road under their siege, and then take this rough road into a sunny road. ”

"Come on, maybe one day when your movie sells all over the world, and then even Western audiences shout for you, become your diehards, and fight their media for you, we will really slap them in the face."

He Fang said as he walked, and after speaking, Wu Jing nodded, only hating that he didn't have a talent like He Fang to make a movie that hit the world best.

……

That night they flew out of London for Paris, the capital of romance, at least as the domestic press and magazines constantly advertised.

It is said that the French are very romantic, and it is said that the French do not get married, but only talk about love. Then they are very bold in expressing their love, and they are also very good at pleasing their other half. So, the French are the most romantic.

This made Fan Bingbing stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel wrapped in a bath towel and look forward to it, as a woman, who doesn't crave that kind of romance?

Especially as the end of this global publicity tour, she really wants to stay here for a day and feel the romance here.

"If you don't sleep, what are you thinking? Enjoy the night view? ”

He Fang closed the computer and was ready to sleep, he asked Fan Bingbing.

"No, I want French romance, which I envy as a woman." Fan Bingbing turned his head to look at He Fang's eyes, and the rippling water waves made He Fang understand at once.

He Fang patted his forehead, "Do you know why the French don't like to get married?" ”

"Why?" Fan Bingbing asked rhetorically.

"Because the cost of divorce is too high, not only in France, but also in the whole West, because the cost of divorce is so high, many French people don't like to get married, it's not that they only talk about love and don't talk about marriage." He explained.

"What kind of strange truth is this, I don't believe it......" Fan Bingbing shook his head.

He Fang shrugged his shoulders, "Then I'll tell you the price of divorce in France, first of all, after the divorce, in addition to the joint property between the two during their marriage, even the part that will increase in value in the future must also be shared, including the pension." ”

Of course, this is not the most outrageous, the most outrageous thing is that as long as the woman says that she wants to raise the child, then the judge will award the child to the woman unconditionally. And then...... The man not only has to pay a few hundred euros a month in child support, but also three-sevenths of his salary as alimony for his ex-wife until he remarries. Some women no longer marry until they die, and they have been raised by their ex-husbands. ”

Fan Bingbing's mouth opened wide in surprise when he heard this, and then He Fang smiled.

"So, the French don't like to get married because the cost of divorce is too great. Of course, some people may say that if you don't get divorced, it's over? Marriage is for the sake of divorce. ”

"The key is that most of the reasons for this divorce are proposed by the woman, because women like to play with splitting legs, and they will divorce after splitting their legs, and even though it is a marriage that the woman destroys first, the judge will also sentence the man to bear the price after the divorce." He Fang continued to explain.

Of course, this alimony law is something that most other countries in the West have. For example, in the United States, one of the fundamental reasons why many homeless people in the United States become homeless is caused by divorce, the property is divided, and then they have to pay alimony to their ex-wives every month, and finally they go bankrupt when they can't stand it, and finally become homeless. ”

"The French are romantic because women love to split their legs, and men dare not divorce, so everyone splits their legs, and it depends on who confesses the most heartwarming. Of course, I'm exaggerating, but that's roughly what I meant. So, are you still envious? ”

He Fang took Fan Bingbing's wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then picked her up and walked to the bed.

"Envy, even if it's coaxed for a day." Fan Bingbing said.

"You see, why do French women like to split their legs? It's because they can't stand the lack of a man for a day, and when they get used to being coaxed, what do you think will happen when there is no man to coax? At this time, when another man suddenly came over to coax them, they split their legs. So, once you get addicted to being coaxed by men, it's the same as a French woman. ”

“…… Phew, heresy......"

……

In fact, French filmmakers are still quite concerned about where to come to Paris to promote, after all, who can be the winner of the Palme d'Or.

The last step of the "Pacific Rim" crew in Paris was to hold a film reception, in fact, this reception was to entertain French and European filmmakers, and another function was to thank several main creators for accompanying the crew to promote the world during this time, which was really hard for them, and this was also a thank you and farewell reception.

The reception attracted many European filmmakers, not only the Cannes Film Festival award, but also the Venice award, and now a world-renowned commercial director, this fame is not limited to the literary circle.

Luc Besson of the French Europa company still wants to talk to He Fang about cooperation, and He Fang, a big director of commercial films in Europe, actually admires him.

He still made a lot of good movies, such as "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", "The Fifth Element", "Hurricane Rescue", and "Deadly Dedeland" are all his masterpieces.

But what to work with?

"I have a couple of science fiction stories that I might be able to work on. I heard that your parent company's special effects production is very good and the cost is very low, maybe we can cooperate to develop the global market together, what do you think? ”

"Well, of course, we welcome all sincere people to cooperate. Besides, it's been a long, long time since I've seen a European movie in the cinema of the East, maybe the French sci-fi blockbuster has a different flavor, right? ”

"That's right, you're right." Faced with the overtures of what to do, Luc Besson immediately understood.

If you ask what is the way out for European cinema? There is no way out for a long time, how many films in the world are famous in Europe in a year? Hardly.

Maybe there will be some movies between the French-speaking and Spanish-speaking regions, but after their old language areas, no one in other countries will watch them.

Therefore, European films can only go to two extremes, one is literary films, and the other is erotic films. But they are all only a small minority, and it is difficult to spread to the whole world on a large scale.

The cultural hegemony of the United States not only dominates other countries that it is not ally with, but also harvests its allies indiscriminately.

So instead of China challenging U.S. cultural hegemony in the future, why not pull a few of its allies along?

Idle is also idle, the next step is idle chess, whether it is useful or not, it has no effect anyway.

"So, I welcome you to come and talk about cooperation in China, and even welcome European directors to come and talk about cooperation."

And Jacob, the president of Cannes, is asking when he will make literary films to participate in Cannes, as such a young and artistically talented director, he can't waste his artistic endowment.

For this question, He Fang shrugged his shoulders, after all, it is not so easy to avoid censorship, and it is not so easy to have profound, but also to have artistic value, so it has to be slow.

Everyone talked eloquently at this party, and the discussion of movies was gentlemanly and enthusiastic.

When the reception was coming to an end, He Fang raised his glass and made a concluding speech.

"Thank you all for joining us today, which has deepened my friendship with all of you and taught me more about film. Of course, some film cooperation intentions have also been reached. At the same time, I also welcome European filmmakers to go to China when they have time, and talk about creation and cooperation with Chinese filmmakers. ”

"Of course, today's cocktail party has another purpose, that is, to thank the creators of our "Pacific Rim", who have been promoting the world with me for more than ten consecutive days, and have never shouted tired. Thank you, thank you. It is precisely because of your hard work and publicity that we have achieved today's results, and thousands of words are combined into a sentence of thanks. As of today, the main publicity for Pacific Rim is over, and I hope that next time we can work together, Pacific Rim 2 won't have to wait too long. ”

As soon as He Fang's speech was finished, everyone gave a small round of applause.

"Okay, let's dry this wine, look forward to the next cooperation, thank you, thank you."

……

The promotion of "Pacific Rim" has come to an end, but the box office continues to hit new heights without ending.

After the promotion of "Pacific Rim", many things are waiting to be done in the new year, which is not a trivial matter.

There is a change at 22 o'clock in the evening, and at the end of the month, there will be a monthly pass for five consecutive days!
