"The Mermaid" is finished, and He Fang is actually not idle, he is going to fly to the island country, where he will check how the exterior of "Edge of Tomorrow" is arranged.

But before he went to the island country, Phoenix Satellite TV sent an interview invitation to He Zhu, which was Wu Xiaoli's "Q&A Shenzhou" program, which is a very high-end program, usually interviewing political leaders, or famous entrepreneurs, or famous social influencers.

It was indeed a surprise to ask for an interview at a time when no new blockbuster was released and nothing very important was happening.

After looking at the schedule, I can actually go and record it.

So, He Fang agreed to record, and the time was on October 25.

It's not who went to Hong Kong to record, but the team of "Q&A China" came to Changsha and recorded some of the working environment.

Therefore, on the 23rd, their team came, and they had to choose the scene, choose the place, and plan like the film crew...... It's still very professional.

He Fang asked the staff of Tuanhuo Culture to entertain him, and he went to see the post-production of the films that had been made in the past two days, as well as to learn about the company's operation.

Of course, there is also communication with the management of Lake Film Group.

The main reason is how Huying's strategy of 'expanding scale and digging technology' is going, and what are the difficulties.

"Director He, you're here, Wang Dong is on the phone, you go in first and sit down, I'll make you tea." When He Fang went to Wang Tiejun's office, Wang Tiejun's secretary Yang Shen greeted He Fang warmly.

He Fang nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Yang." ”

"Ouch, Director He, you're polite."

"Haha, we don't have to be so polite."

Facing this secretary transferred by Wang Tiejun from other units, He Fang doesn't know very well, but as the chairman of a group, it is normal to cultivate his own cronies.

After He Fang entered the office, Wang Tiejun nodded at him, and then pointed to the cigarette on the coffee table.

He Fang unceremoniously took out a cigarette and lit it, and only took two puffs, Yang Shen came in with a teacup, made tea for He Fang, and then he went to change a cup of tea for Wang Tiejun, nodded to He Fang and went out silently.

After a while, Wang Tiejun finished the call, and then came to the coffee table with a teacup and sat down.

"After the movie is filmed, you have to catch up with the next crew, your mother is in a hurry, and she complained there when she went shopping with my cousin, saying that you don't talk about your girlfriend, you don't get married, and the most important thing is that you don't give birth to a grandchild. Haha......"

Wang Tiejun smiled as he spoke.

"Huh? He's talking about this outside, huh? He Fang was really speechless.

"Hehe, woman, don't you care about this? You, so many female stars, young and beautiful, you don't like actors, and there are also behind-the-scenes workers, you have to help your mother. ”

Wang Tiejun persuaded.

"Uncle Wang, let's not talk about this, just give her the twins back next year and get married...... Alas, forget it, it's not for me. ”

Wang Tiejun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Okay, you young people have your young people's thoughts, where is it, the further you go, the more pressure you go, it used to be just a difficult mountain, but now it is facing countless difficult mountains." Come, let me know what you think. ”

"Well, I took a look at the difficulties we've had recently, and that's what I thought......"

……

He Fang pointed out the way forward for Huying, so the after-sales service had to be done well, and he had to go to the bottom and give a solution if something went wrong.

Therefore, he often has to make suggestions for the operation of Huying Group.

On the evening of October 24, He Fang hosted a banquet for Wu Xiaoli, this woman...... A typical image of an oriental beauty, according to our traditional saying, is a Tianzi face and the flesh on the face is full and round, belonging to the rich face, and her smile is always there, very blessed and affinity, which belongs to the face shape that can be mixed.

He Fang didn't want to have a separate banquet for Wu Xiaoli, otherwise there would be no common words.

But Ms. Wu suggested that it would be better if she could eat alone, because it would allow her to contact him in advance to help her with the interview.

"Teacher Wu, welcome, it's really hard for you to go to the mainland." He Fang didn't know how to toast a woman at the level of an aunt at the banquet, so he could only talk about something that didn't have any nutrition.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, isn't that what we're doing. And our show, sometimes we need to go out so that the content is richer. Actually, I've wanted to interview you for a long time, but the time has not been ripe. ”

Wu Xiaoli picked up the red wine glass and touched one with He Fang.

"Okay, then Mr. Wu, you see how it is convenient for you to interview, and I will fully cooperate here."

"Is there anything you can't ask? For example, you shy away from answering. ”

"Of course not, as long as you dare to broadcast it, I dare to answer...... Uh, you guys seem to dare to broadcast it. He Fang remembered that this was the Hong Kong media.

"Haha, don't worry, we won't ask ...... on particularly sensitive topics"

Next, Wu Xiaoli learned about He Fang's other situations, such as relationship problems, study problems, life problems, work problems, and so on.

It can be said that she has a comprehensive understanding of He Fang in private, which is convenient for her interview the next day.

The theme of this issue is 'Chinese Science Fiction Film Leader, Light and Shadow Pioneer, Interview with Film Director He Fang', so when He Fang saw this title, he also paused, this positioning is very high.

I feel that it is higher than the domestic interview, which asks more questions about his technique and the criticism of the film.

Wu Xiaoli prepared some questions, but he didn't show them to him, and he also asked for his consent, he also liked the kind of questions that came out on the spot, and felt that this kind of interview was more real and exciting.

So, early the next morning, He Fang came downstairs to the company, and then the show began to be recorded.

First where did he shake hands with Wu Xiaoli to meet, and then took some pictures of Lake Film and Television City, Wu Xiaoli asked him.

"This studio was built because of your suggestion, so how do you feel and feel standing here now?"

He Fang thought for a moment, "Well, it feels very cool, sometimes there is a kind of 'look, this is all because of the pride I built', but I don't dare to say this, for fear that people will say that I am high-profile...... Belch...... What about recording? Ah! ”

He Fang spread his hands, but Wu Xiaoli smiled, "Haha, it doesn't matter, that is, many viewers know your inner thoughts, and it's not ashamed, if you change to someone else, you will feel this way." ”

"Then you weren't afraid that you would fail? What if it fails? Wu Xiaoli asked.

"What to do? What else can I do, I work hard to make movies to help Huying Group make up for the losses, in fact, I am making up for the investment by filming hard. He Fang spread his hands.

"Huh? I see, no wonder you shoot three or four films a year. Hey, are those main studios? Where was Pacific Rim filmed? ”

After that, He Fang took Wu Xiaoli to see the filming studio of "Pacific Rim", including some models, and then introduced the filming situation to the film crew one by one.

After filming outdoors, they came to the company of Tuanhuo Culture, and then entered the conference room, where a recording scene had already been arranged.

"Okay, welcome to watch the "Q&A Shenzhou" program, today we are going to interview the leader of Chinese science fiction films, the pioneer of light and shadow, and the most talented young and legendary film figure in China Electric, Director He Fang......"

Wu Xiaoli turned around after the introduction, and the camera also turned around.

"Director He Fang, I have seen your introduction, and I feel that you have appeared in front of everyone like a sudden legend, and then with various magical achievements, you have reached the level of today's international director and Chinese film leader in just four years. Maybe everyone is curious, why have you been unknown until now? It's as if your rise was not foreshadowed, it's surprising, can you talk about it? ”

He Fang nodded when he heard this question, and was also a little embarrassed, could he give a true answer? Can't you? Did he tell the audience that he was a time-traveler?

"Actually, there is nothing legendary about this, and I haven't done many legendary things. In fact, everything is a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, but this quantity is not noticed by outsiders when it is superimposed, or it is impossible to pay attention to it at all. ”

"It's like who cares about a lake shadow kid going to the United States to study art? So many students go abroad every year. I'm just one of them, and there are not a few people like me who have been trained to learn art from an early age, and I know a lot of music, art, and architecture who have gone to study in the United States. ”

"Therefore, a person named He Fang going to a well-known school in the United States to further his art will not attract everyone's attention."

"As for me, how did I change? It's very simple, because I am a child of Lake Shadow, so I have an innate understanding of the past and present of Chinese films, and I also know what the problem is. I still remember the tragic history of when I was eleven or twelve years old, when the film studio laid off employees and laid off many workers lost their jobs overnight. ”

"So, when I go to the U.S., I often wonder, what's wrong with our films? Therefore, in the process of studying, I will also compare the development of American films, the development of European films, and the development of films in Asian countries and regions. ”

"I've always wondered what I would do if I had to remake Chinese films...... So, when I think about this question a lot, it matures in my heart day by day. ”

"So, after eight years of studying and working in the United States, I returned to China, and I didn't expect that I would really have the opportunity to change Chinese films. Heh......" He Fang smiled helplessly.

Wu Xiaoli looked 'so so', "So, you have to do all these things in the United States, and you only need to implement them after returning to China?" ”

"It's not like that, in fact, I thought it was just that kind of personal imagination at the time, and I never thought that I would really come back and change Chinese films. I didn't think about this problem when I returned to China, and I thought about coming back to be a director and make some money. Because, it is difficult for Chinese directors to mix up in the United States, and Ang Lee has only one. ”

"Later, I did this, there were a series of coincidences in this, coupled with the heart of change led by Huying back then, there were many factors that led to this point."

He explained.

"I think the audience will be as interested in this coincidental insider as I am, can you tell us more about it?"

He Fang had no choice but to tell the situation at that time, and then the Huying Rest Group did come to a crossroads at that time.

Either build a building to collect rent to survive, because everyone is taking this road.

Either...... On how to carry out film industrialization as planned, and revitalize Chinese films.

At this crossroads, the Lake Film Group at that time chose the road of film industrialization......

This decision is not simple, it is difficult to make.

It's good that it can be done, but once it is not done, it will not only gamble on your career, but also make the rest of your life regretful.

Under He Fang's narration, Wu Xiaoli seemed to see the scene at that time, either surviving or dying in the outbreak.

"I didn't expect that the leaders of Huying Group are so bold, they really dare to think and dare to do. I found that Hunan people seem to have this kind of cultural spirit, including China's modern history, Hunan people are daring to think and dare to do and finally make the impossible possible, you are also like this, can you talk about why you have this kind of hard work and enterprising factor in your bones? ”

Wu Xiaoli asked.

"Because there is no way out, Hunan has been the place of handover of Han and Miao since ancient times, and it is also the place where Han and Miao fight, the Han people want to conquer the Miao people, and the Miao people do not submit to the rule of the Han people, which is one of the contentions. In addition to domination, the second contention is that Hunan has many mountains and few resources, and in order to grab limited resources, there will be a large number of conflicts every year between Miao and Han, or between Miao and Miao or Han and Han. This is that there is no way back, because whoever retreats will be hungry and will die, and no one wants to die, so fight. ”

"It's been going back and forth for not hundreds of years, but for a long, long time. Until the liberation, there were many conflicts. Therefore, the people in this land, regardless of Miao Han, have a gene in their bones: that is, no one should want to press me or rob me of my resources, just do it if you don't accept it, and dare to risk your life to do one thing. ”

"Similarly, the same is true for movies, the group wanted to go with the flow to build real estate and collect rent to survive, but that was because there was no new way to choose, which was the bottom line of no return."

"But my proposal gave Huying Group a new path, so it aroused the spirit of the group's leaders to do it if they were not satisfied, and they had to fight for a new road even if they risked their lives." Although He Fang said that it was very bland, there was a pride in his tone.

There is also a sense of pride in being able to dare to do such a thing, and it is admirable that people will bring up this experience years later.

After He Fang introduced this, Wu Xiaoli immediately applauded, "Your statement is the best explanation of the spirit of Hunan people that I have heard many times, and it is the most convincing one for me. The spirit has been inherited from survival and struggle since ancient times, and I think what you said about the struggle between Miao and Han and the struggle for survival is reasonable. ”
