He Fang only stayed in Los Angeles until May 1st, and then flew back to Detroit, so he didn't have more time here to work on more details.

In fact, as long as the general direction is determined, and then the entire main creator is willing to listen to his command, then the next thing will be easy to do.

For the preparation of the film, the creators of Fox will do a good job, they are experienced and the process is more perfect.

On the night before He Fang went to Detroit, He Fang pulled Zhang Qian, who was also about to return to China, for a good and in-depth chat.

This time he was talking about propaganda, he made a list, and then pointed to Zhang Qian one by one.

"Lao Zhang, you can only write down the content of this piece of paper yourself, and I will burn it later. Because, when someone got this thing, they thought we were engaged in espionage. But it's really something we have to do for the long haul. ”

Zhang Qian looked at the contents of the paper and was extremely shocked, because ......

"The first is to build identity. In the bones of East and Southeast Asians, everyone who identifies with them is of the yellow race, and they are naturally affinity, but they worship the United States because they are afraid of American hegemony. So, we can widely raise a topic in online public opinion, that is, what would happen if the United States was not the world hegemon? What if, in 30 years, the United States is not the world's leader? ”

"Are you willing to accept our dominance? We also have a very glorious history, they used to be friendly to neighboring countries, and they used to lead everyone to live a good life......"

"Got it? Probably this is the routine, that is, assuming that the United States is not the hegemon, or that the United States will not be the hegemon in a few decades, and that the people of East and Southeast Asia will believe that we will do better than the United States, so we should start learning our culture from now on. ”

"This second article is to deny Western culture, affirm our culture, affirm our way of doing things, and deny our own country's unfriendly tactics towards us. For example, in more controversial international events, the United States can't do this, it's not good, but it would be better if we did......"

"Third, although we are lagging behind, we are about to be on an equal footing with the United States, so we are a country that is worth learning from, and we are strong countries, and they should learn from strong people like us. Everyone should have a sense of urgency and hug our thighs as soon as possible......"

"Fourth, when our film and culture go to their country, they should welcome it, and they should learn ......"

"The first four are not the focus of publicity, but they must be touted on major websites and forums from time to time, so that their people can better accept our movies and music and have a public opinion base. Don't worry that they won't accept this, it doesn't matter if they don't accept it, this kind of thing has been shouted for ten or eight years, and they will slowly believe it when they are shouted together with the water army. ”

"From now on, it is to create gods for our stars, and to put our stars, film and television dramas and music on the altar."

"Fifth, our stars are more atmospheric. Although Hollywood stars are wild and Japanese and Korean stars are exquisite, our stars are ......"

"Sixth, our film and television dramas and music have more in-depth ......"

……

Anyway, he listed dozens of articles before and after, and generally speaking, it was borrowed from the set of public opinion warfare of the Americans, but He Fang joined the more popular and easy-to-use strategies in the following decades.

On the basis of one principle, a group of fans and fans in East and Southeast Asia have been established.

On a regular basis, people update our country's wise actions and let them see that our country is doing more right, such as making more human-friendly statements and actions internationally.

We also regularly update our star works and dynamics, and keep showing the beautiful and handsome side of our stars. Make the wonderful scenes in our film and television works into GIFs or short videos and spread them repeatedly.

Buying some critics, writers, and big Vs from other countries to speak out regularly for our stars and film and television works, every country has celebrities who are in it for money, they have no position, just buy them with money.

Use the trolls to undermine public opinion that says we are bad, but if anyone who says we are bad, and finds opposition on their networks, they will mobilize the trolls to disrupt the words of the opponents...... Besieging them, doxxing them, digging up their immoral past and then condemning them online, even in the form of scolding.

"Hey, are we going to do this?" Zhang Qian's scalp tingled when he heard this.

"If you don't do this, do you think our movies can go abroad? Let's not talk about other people's policies that let us in, even if we are allowed to enter, if their people oppose it one-sidedly, do you think our movies can sell? ”

He Fang tapped the ashes of his cigarette as he spoke, and then took a heavy puff.

"Remember, our brainwashing...... No, we are targeting young students in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and young people are the best targets. As long as the words are done properly and done covertly, the effect will be very good. ”

"One thing to remember is that this matter is related to whether our films can really go abroad. Very important, you don't underestimate it. At the appropriate time, some countries want to send some pirated copies to them, and set up a pirated website so that some countries where our movies cannot enter can be downloaded for free, so as to cultivate their habit of watching our movies. ”

Zhang Qian always felt that what he was doing was not the work of promoting movies, but like ...... Ahem, what's that.

"What? Not used to it? That's because you haven't seen how indiscriminate the methods of large international companies are when they engage in commercial warfare, don't think so badly of yourself and think so well of others. In order to occupy our market, those international capitals sent experts to say that rapeseed oil is unsafe and lard is unhealthy, and then said that the safest and healthiest is their blended oil. ”

"In order to seize the MSG market, some people directly sent experts out to say that the flavor was cancerous, and then sold their chicken essence instead. There are too many such business methods, shopping malls are like battlefields, what kind of moral etiquette do you think everyone will tell you? How to grab the market and how to play. ”

He Fang patted Zhang Qian's shoulder.

"Whew, okay, okay. I think I understand, don't worry, not only East Asia and Southeast Asia, but also North America. Zhang Qian assured.

"North America, don't move around, they're very strict, be careful that they will arrest you when the time comes. North America is a different strategy...... None of this is something we can do, so let's not touch it. ”

"Huh? So who's moving? Zhang Qian asked casually.

"Hehe, don't worry, it's not us anyway. They have a sworn enemy, Russia, maybe the island countries have added firewood and refuel, and there are more people who want to mess with them. ”

"Hey, what are you talking about. Anyway, the reason why I let you do this is very simple, because the Maoyan film and television technology we are engaged in will do our business in the light, but it is not enough to have the light, there must be a ...... in the dark."

“……”

The two talked all night, and He Fang waited for Zhang Qian to completely understand his intentions before letting him sleep.

The next morning, the two went straight to the airport, and then went their separate ways at the airport.

When he returned to the crew, he had only been blowing with everyone for a while, and he received a phone call.

"Hello, hello."

"Hey, who is the director? I'm Anne Heatherway. ”

"Huh? Oh hello, big beauty, how did you call me? He Fang was very surprised.

"Because today I received a call from Lauren Schuller Downer, and I heard that you appointed me to play the latest part of "X-Men"?"

"Uh...... Yes, Annie, is there anything you can't play? Is there a conflict in the schedule? I'm telling you, our film will definitely not be worse than your upcoming "Batman: The Dark Knight". Because ......"

He Fang thought that Anne wanted to call and politely declined, so he explained.

After all, Anne Heather is now slightly red and purple, and a reporter with good things has calculated an account for investors, and every dollar invested in Anne will get a return of $64.

So you can imagine how popular she is now, right?

In fact, he wants to use Annie because he wants to have all the handsome guys and beauties in this movie, how can there be no handsome guys and beauties in the superhero movie?

Who is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood? Aside from Anne, there doesn't seem to be any rival to her right now.

As for Jennifer Lawrence, which Fox booked at the beginning, it may be in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, but for Orientals, Anne is definitely a few notches higher.

"Oh no, Ho, I'm here to thank you."

"Oh, thanks? Hey, beauty, you're scared to death, I thought you were here to refuse, but you're an important part of my movie, I thought something was wrong. He Fang complained directly on the phone.

This way of holding up the other party can please Anne, and it is good for cooperation. Moreover, there is no need to worry that because the director attaches importance to it, there will be some domestic actors who will be pampered and arrogant, and Hollywood actors rarely play big names on the set.

"Haha...... Scares you? Why don't I invite you to a drink? By the way, I would like to ask you how I should do this role. "Anne is still very serious about acting, she is now playing "Les Miserables" I heard that she lost 16 kilograms in order to play this role well, and she also pulled out two molars just to show her thin face, and even cut her hair short, and she looked like she was forced to do nothing.

So, some of Hollywood's stars, you really have to admire their professionalism.

"I'm not in Los Angeles right now, I'm on the set in Detroit. This is not in a hurry, it is not a literary film, there is no need to prepare early, and filming will start in April next year. Aren't you filming Les Misérables? Make this movie first, and maybe it will bring you an award. ”

He Fang encouraged.

"Oh well, thank you. Okay, when you have time to talk to me about the characters, you can call me. Anne didn't say much.

"Don't worry, as long as you take over the play, the rest of the things are relatively easy, I believe in your acting skills, I will communicate with you at the right time."

"Okay, director, then you get busy first."

……

He hung up Anne's phone and thought it was nothing, but in the middle of the night he was woken up by another phone call.

"Hey, who's that? The ...... of the third watch in the middle of the night," He Fang said in a daze.

"Three watches in the middle of the night? It's daylight. The woman on the other end of the line muttered.

"Huh? Oh, big sister, I'm in Detroit, USA, and it's the middle of the night. Who are you? ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, why don't I hang up first?"

"No, everyone has been woken up, tell me something." He Fang rubbed his eyelids and yawned.

"Director, I'm Jing Tian, didn't you say give me a year? Now that a year has passed, when are you going to test me? Jing Tian's question came from the phone.

"Huh? Is it over? So fast? He Fang asked with some surprise.

"It's been a long time ago, it's been a year since February 19th, I thought you wanted to break your promise, but you forgot?" Jing Tian said aggrievedly on the other end of the phone.

"Huh? This, this, sorry, was really forgot. Then why don't you call in February? He asked.

"Isn't that the Chinese New Year, and your "Pacific Rim" is not in full swing, I thought you wanted to wait until the movie was released before contacting me. But you're ......"

Jing Tian was even more aggrieved when she thought of this.

"Then why don't you fight after the New Year?" Where to ask again.

"I, I, I, I'm mad at you......"

"Oh...... So how did you call today? ”

"I'm done angry."

"Hey......" He Fang patted his forehead, very speechless, then he got up, turned on the light, and then took out a cigarette from the bedside table and lit it.

"Well, that's, so be it, I'm filming in the United States now, and I'm done with it...... End of June, hmm...... In July, we will publicize ...... Hey, that, why don't we connect someday, and I'll check you? ”

If you promise to give others a chance, you can't break your promise, otherwise you can only wait for late July.

In fact, it's not impossible in late July, but when I think that I can't wait for the role of "Mermaid" by then, I still think that if Jing Tian is really okay, let her play the mermaid Shanshan in "Mermaid".

Anyway, this role needs to find a little girl who doesn't know the world to play the innocence and ethereal, isn't Jing Tian the kind of person who hasn't experienced social torture.

"Huh? Director, where are you in the United States? Why don't I fly over tomorrow? ”

"Huh? So capricious? ”

"Capricious? No, isn't it just flying, flying? ”

"Oh, okay, then you can fly over at your convenience, it just so happens that I haven't turned on the plane for the past few days."

"Okay, then I'll buy a plane ticket right away, by the way, where are you in the United States?"

"Didn't I just say that? In Detroit, buy your plane ticket and send me a message, and I'll have someone pick you up when you get back. ”

"Okay, goodbye, director."

"Didi ......"

He Fang looked at this flamboyant way of hanging up the phone and shook his head, it seemed that nothing had changed.

Alas, the head is big.

As soon as he smoked the cigarette of the third watch in the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep, but in Detroit, he didn't dare to go out in the middle of the night.

Simply, he took his mobile phone to browse the domestic Internet, and he hadn't been on Weibo for a long time, so he went up to take a look.

Suddenly, he saw a lot of movie information about "The Avengers", and then he went to check, it turned out that "Avengers" would be released in the mainland on May 5.

This movie can be said to be Marvel's most successful opening superhero movie, and the first one won more than $1.5 billion at the box office.

Of course, the box office of this series has not been low since then, and "Avengers 4" even reached its peak with a global box office of $2.799 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing film in film history, second only to "Avatar".

Marvel, Paramount, and Disney are simply making money, where did he think of these and shake his head, what does this have to do with him?

Or is it more important to think about how to deal with tomorrow's events......

The next day is a day to read the script and reconfirm the details, and movies like "Violent Block" are, to put it bluntly, playing tricks and playing with blood, so you have to use dim sum in the play camera.

They've been testing some one-shot shots of sports shots, and it's very cool to play, and I've seen a one-shot shot in "Rescue 2", which is pretty cool.

So in "Violent Block", He Fang wanted to play a long shot of Wu Jing being killed with Lino to the black boss Terry Maynees' lair.

This will be the most climactic scene in the whole film, and it will also be the most climactic plot. He Fang estimated that it would last more than 10 minutes, including parkour, motorcycles, gunfights, hand-to-hand combat, and stick fights.

It's just a shot, all the way to the end, and then all the way to the black boss's lair.

"Wow, that's kind of interesting." Zhang Yimou praised the crew when he watched the debugging scene.

"Interesting, right? If you don't play Cult movies, you're embarrassed to say that you're making Cult movies, and I'm now a little famous in the world Cult film industry, and there are many invitations to participate in some cult film festivals in my mailbox, but I declined them all. ”

He Fang said with some pride.

"Why don't you go?" Zhang Mo asked.

"I'm an idol for a lot of young people now, how can I promote those restrictive movies? Me too......"

"Director He, that Jing Tian took it......"

"Huh? Oh...... Where is it? ”
