What really happened in the depths of the water under the misty night? No one knew, but the sound of the water slapping could tell that there must have been some kind of fierce fighting.

At about three o'clock in the ugly hour, He Fang returned to the room from the hot spring pool quite tiredly, and after slept, he glanced at the domestic box office for the second day and then fell asleep, too tired.

At the domestic box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year on February 10, "The Origin of the White Snake" still ranked first, reaching 123.18 million yuan, or 123 million yuan.

The second-ranked "Thai Embarrassment" had a box office of 53.79 million yuan, which performed well.

As for the later "Getting Better and Better Village Night" 8 million, "Love is Not NG" 1.64 million, and "Paris Naughty Gang" 315,000, these movies are basically ignored.

The pattern basically formed by the Spring Festival file is the unique file of "The Origin of the White Snake", and "Thai Embarrassment" is not bad.

When He Fang slept deeply, and woke up at 8:40 the next morning, he felt full of blood and resurrected, and he believed that now he was absolutely different from the three people in the hot spring pool last night.

After washing up, he lights a cigarette, brews a cup of coffee, and takes a closer look at the next day's global box office figures.

He already knows in China, 123 million, mainly to look at the box office of North America on Sunday...... 12.11 million, heh, anyway, it's more than 10 million, and the final total box office is estimated to be more than 100 million US dollars.

In other words, the box office appeal of He Fang in North America is only over 100 million, and it will be difficult to top it for a while and a half.

This is the ceiling of a non-Hollywood director, there is no way, after all, you are an outsider, and if you can't rush up, you can't rush up.

In fact, if you look at it this way, where Fox is looking to shoot "X-Men" is really a win-win situation. Where does Fox need to raise the total box office of "X-Men", and who needs "X-Men" to raise the ceiling of his box office in the north.

Looking at the box office in other parts of the world, the total is 30.27 million, and East Asia and Southeast Asia account for 13.41 million, which is still good.

The next day's global box office received $61.93 million, which is already very good, surpassing many international directors.

However, this is because the Chinese market is too powerful, just like another time and space, some domestic films can get the top five or top ten global annual box office without going abroad and relying on the box office of the domestic market.

A box office of 4.5 billion in the Chinese market is waiting for a box office of more than 700 million US dollars, and this still needs to hit the global market? Many Hollywood movies don't make $700 million at the global box office.

"The First Day of the Spring Festival [White Snake Origin] Won $61.93 Million at the Box Office Worldwide"

"He Fang has continuously proved God with blockbusters, deservedly the No. 1 director in China and the No. 1 director in Asia"

"[The Origin of the White Snake] Global Reputation and Rating"

"[The Origin of the White Snake] Art and Commerce Fly Together, and Look at the Feedback of Directors and Critics from All Over the World"

……

"He Sang, the president of our Dongbao Film Studio wants to invite you to dinner together." As soon as they left the hotel, a man in a suit greeted He respectfully.

He Fang was stunned for a moment, "I'm sorry, I'm not free today, I arranged a whole day of activities, and then I have to fly to Hong Kong in the evening." Or next time, I will thank you for your support the next time I come to the island country. ”

He refused, he really didn't have time, and he didn't know what to talk to these people.

What to talk about? Accept the island nation's recruitment and become one of them? Why don't you do a good Chinese and be the second leg of the Americans?

A superpower national running to an island nation attached to a small island? He couldn't figure out where that logic was right.

To be honest, this is a question he hasn't figured out in his two lifetimes, what do those traitors who are attached to the island country think.

The key is that the island country is still semi-colonized by the United States.

Half a cut short in front of the islanders, but also a cut short in front of the Americans, and when the Chinese can look at the Americans.

So, where is this logic?

Anyway, I didn't figure it out.

If you want to say it's for money, it's understandable, but who would sell their ancestors for money? How much does it cost to do such a thing?

Or what kind of faith did the island people give to let a Chinese do such a thing?

It's like an African convincing an American to be his slave, it's magical.

Of course, maybe people just want to work with whom? For example, what kind of co-production is the cooperation in film?

How many Chinese have been brainwashed into traitors step by step by the so-called cooperation and cultural exchanges of island countries?

No matter who this person is, whether he has extreme ideas or malicious speculation about others, he does not believe the people of the island country. Unless one day the Chinese army is stationed in this island country, and the whole people of this island country write Chinese characters and speak Chinese, then he believes that the people here are sincere in cooperating with him.

In the face of He Fang's refusal, he was very surprised, and he glanced at He Fang deeply, forced a smile and nodded.

"Hey, I'll tell our president, sorry to excuse me."

The man bowed respectfully and left.

"Director, will it be okay if you refuse?" Fan Bingbing asked cautiously.

"I believe that it will not be for the time being, but I will not know for a long time. Leave that alone, let's go. ”

He Fang waved his hand.

In his opinion, he is ready to lose the markets of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province at any time, because he deeply understands that these three markets are difficult.

As the confrontation between the Chinese New Year becomes more serious, his films will become more and more inaccessible.

Since sooner or later it will be lost, there is nothing to fight for.

Because it is meaningless to fight, this is not something that he can fight for alone, this is the separation of wills between countries, and it is useless for him to be friendly to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan no matter what.

When I came to the event, it was just the end of a movie, and the audience applauded and cheered under the introduction of the host.

"Dou O Lominasa, even hey Sabashi (friends in Tokyo, long time no see)." He Fang still threw out a sentence in Japanese, and he is still very attentive to the fans of the island country.

"Even hey, Saze's unfavorable Si (long time no see)!" Fans shouted in unison.

"Are you satisfied with the movie?" He asked.

"Hiss (so powerful)."

"Huh?" He Fang was stunned for a moment, why had he heard this word in a small movie?

Simple communication, island country movie fans did not ask why island countries can't make this kind of movie, because the number of island country movies is different, they don't pay attention to live-action blockbusters and live-action commercial films, and their blockbusters and commercial films are completely open to foreign films.

The island country mainly makes anime movies, and there are also blockbusters in anime, such as "Godzilla", "One Piece", "Hokage", etc., and live-action movies mainly shoot realistic stories of social reflection.

They don't pursue any live-action blockbusters, and his culture is to sell anxiety, rules, and crisis awareness to each of them.

Where they ask, they ask more about personal life, like what they like and so on.

Island people have the advantage that they are not as impulsive as Koreans, they will be gentle and elegant, and hide all their tricks behind their backs, so it is at least superficially gentle and comfortable to greet island countries.

However, they are also cold, like ...... When they came out of the theater, they saw a broken man shouting and crying in the street, but no one would care about him, just as if he was air.

Because each of them is under pressure, the superiors of the island country constantly tell them that they are carrying pressure now for the future of the nation, and now they are subordinate to the people for the future......

"You mean he refused?" Hideyuki Takai, the president of Toho Pictures, asked with squinted eyes.

"Hey, he said he is not available, he has a day's activities schedule, and he has to fly to Hong Kong in the evening, so he will make an appointment with you next time he comes." The man replied truthfully.

"Sanada-kun is right, this person is incorrigible. Alright, ignore him, now is not the time to move him. Takai Hideyuki waved his hand as if he didn't care, in fact, he cared a lot, and heard that this person was destroying their layout in China.

That night, the crew of "The Origin of the White Snake" left Tokyo and then flew straight to Hong Kong, where nothing interesting happened or anything unexpected, it was normal.

It's just that after the crew of "The Origin of the White Snake" landed in Hong Kong, the reporters were already waiting at the airport, even if it was late at night, they were waiting, don't doubt their professionalism.

Therefore, as soon as they left the airport, they were surrounded by reporters.

"Director He Fang, Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity." Then the reporters reached out and asked for red envelopes.

"Huh?" He Fang was taken aback, he had forgotten about red envelopes in Japan and South Korea in the past two days.

Fortunately, he had prepared for a long time, and the red envelopes were given, although each red envelope was not much, just a few red tickets in RMB, but the picture was a Xili, Hong Kong people did not ask for much red envelopes.

"Director Fang, why is there no Taiwan Province in the Asian promotion of your film? Don't you deal with Taiwanese fans? ”

As soon as he heard this, he was a reporter from the Taiwan Provincial Media in Hong Kong.

"You're wrong, I just don't deal with the media in Taiwan Province, and I have nothing to do with fans in Taiwan Province." He Fang shook the index finger of his right hand and denied.

"Then why do you want to deal with the media in Taiwan Province?"

"You have to ask the media in Taiwan Province about this, why are you asking me? They said they wouldn't report on my movies and my information in the future, so what should I do? ”

He Fang took out a cigarette from his pocket and walked to the smoking place to light one, he also sat on the plane for several hours without smoking and held back.

"Director He, because of the successful case of Wang Jing's cooperation with you, the Hong Kong film industry is now looking forward to cooperating with you, will you continue to increase cooperation?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, working with director Wang Jing is a good start. However, I would like to say that not all collaborations will be very successful, and if one cooperation is successful, then I am a god. Therefore, in the next cooperation, we will strive to be as successful as possible, but if there are unsuccessful ones, I hope that some people who read jokes and gloat will not say something weird there. ”

He Fang said affirmatively.

"Can't you even question it?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, whatever you want. However, when others strive to contribute to Hong Kong films, there are constantly people there to say cool things and then stir up people's emotions, if you Hong Kong people can't distinguish such things, they will only be used by others, and then destroy the development of Hong Kong films. ”

He Fang said and took two long puffs of his cigarette.

"Hong Kong is a place where public opinion is open, and we allow everyone to speak, and if there is something that doesn't sound good, it's normal." A reporter retorted.

"I know, after learning the Western way, freedom of speech. Whatever you want, I'm just going to say a few words about taking precautions, and if the next cooperation is not so successful, I'm ready to be scolded by your Hong Kong media. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, he took two more puffs of cigarette, then put out the cigarette and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Director He, can you take a photo with a few actresses, we also have dinner." There are reporters in the way.

"I'm lost, do you mean that I want to cooperate with you to stir up the scandal? How can there be such a thing? Did you give the money? He Fang scolded with a smile.

"It's okay, a million Hong Kong dollars, a photo of you and a few actresses taking off all your clothes and lying on the bed, is it okay?" A reporter asked.

"......" He Fang was speechless, there were really people who paid for his scandal photos, "Do you think I am short of a million people?" ”

"Hey, although you are rich, a million, it's just a few photos, isn't it ...... if you don't make money for nothing?"

He Fang waved his hand, ignored them and left.

The reporters hurriedly 'clicked and ......' to take pictures, and this group of people ...... For the sake of money, I guess I can do a lot of things out of the ordinary.

Fortunately, Fan Bingbing and the others had already gotten into the car, and if they were asked by a reporter to take off all their clothes and where to take photos on the bed, I don't know what their expressions were.

If it's a movie, for the sake of art...... Haven't tried.

"Director He, where are you? Hurry up to the hotel, we are here for a late-night snack. The call was from Wang Jing, and He was confused.

"Supper? Ah, it's late......"

"We're in your collapsed hotel, so we're going to have a party on the third floor of the hotel, and let's have some drinks and talk together." Wang Jing said.

"Oh, that's no problem, who are they?"

"Hmm...... It's time to come. ”

"What do you mean that everything that should come is here?"

"You'll know when you get there."
