"The final domestic box office?" He Fang saw that he couldn't hide, so he simply took out a cigarette, lit it, and then began to answer questions

"In terms of the final domestic box office, I estimate that it should be about 1.8 billion, and 2 billion is the target."

"As for what you said about some people in China criticizing me because of the New York Times article, I don't think I need to say it to understand what their position is. A Chinese director who has done nothing wrong and is criticized by others, the first thing they think of is not to defend themselves, but to choose to criticize me, this should be to speak for Americans, right?

If anybody can look at Twitter, and look at some of the comments in the United States on this matter, the United States will know that the United States treats me better than they do to me. I am really puzzled by this, why I have been slandered by others, first the Americans defend me, and then the media of other countries in the world defend me, that is, the media and people in our country criticize me.

Excuse me, can any of you tell me what this phenomenon is? Why is this happening? Are our media and the big influencers the New York Times the sounding board of The New York Times in China? Do they get paid at the New York Times? ”

He Fang is really speechless for some people, but this is a complicated matter, and his personal strength cannot change this phenomenon.

"What you said about the warm welcome we received in Vietnam is true, we have a feeling of international superstars, not only Vietnamese fans, but also in this Ten Cities promotion, we have been welcomed and loved by local fans everywhere we go.

Moreover, Asian fans generally support and love our films, which shows that thousands of years of Confucian culture still have a deep influence in Asia, and they have a high degree of recognition of Chinese films. ”

……

The interview with He Fang quickly spread to the Internet, and there was a huge discussion on the Internet.

"Who is right, why is it that even the majority of people in the United States and the West and most of the other international media are supporting He Fang and criticizing the New York Times's narrow targeting of He Fang, but there is a huge amount of criticism in domestic public opinion for what He is doing wrong? Are they receiving a New York Times salary, or are they doing it for some personal purpose? ”

"Some people can't see the Chinese make some achievements, as long as the Chinese make some achievements, they are more anxious than their masters, what kind of distorted mentality is this? I really don't understand. ”

"The quality of netizens is getting lower and lower, in the past, everyone was rational when they were arguing about something on the Internet, but now they are all angry and aggressive."

"Landlord, I agree with what you said, I think there are two reasons. First, the threshold for surfing the Internet is getting lower and lower, so many people with low literacy have all come in. In the past, all the people who went online were college students and elites, so everyone was relatively rational, communication was communication, and differences would be tolerated with each other. However, now you see, netizens on the Internet will scold and slander people once they are wrong.

The second is that because the Internet has become a new important place of public opinion, many forces are eyeing the interests of this dollar, so everyone is fishing in the muddy waters to grab their own interests. In order to grab benefits, everyone has exhausted all means, and all kinds of indiscriminate people have come, so it is a miasma......"

"Alas, I don't care, who is a big director like this who brings Chinese films to the world, who has done so many things for Chinese films, and is scolded like that all day long, they are too rampant."

……

Do you think it is because you don't want to fight back? Of course not, he also has a team, but his team can only target those big Vs, and then report ordinary swearers. But there are so many online accounts, how can it be managed, so it can only be scolded and scolded.

He Fang went home to rest for a few days, went to the company to chat with Zhang Qian and other company management about the company, and also learned about the later stages of several movies in production, as well as the arrangements for new movies.

The company will open eleven dramas in 2013, He Fang has three, the company's contracted directors have five, and Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" will be launched in April, and Wang Jing will cooperate with Wang Jing to have a "Crazy Boy: The New Order of Jianghu", as well as "Ready Player One" with Feng Xiaogang.

In addition, Guo Xiaohua of Xingyao Company found him and asked him if he had any new variety shows to come out.

He Fang thought about it for a while, how many variety shows are there under Xingyao Company now?

"The Voice of China", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Where Did Dad Go", "Running Man", "Informal Talks", "Happy Comedian", this is basically a variety show that makes money is all in his hands, what other variety shows are there?

"Extreme Challenge"? "The Birth of an Actor"? "The Masked Singer"? "I Am a Singer"? "Tucao Conference"? If you catch all of them...... Isn't that kind?

But forget about "Extreme Challenge", this is suspected of plagiarizing the Korean variety show "Infinite Challenge", "The Birth of an Actor" and "I Am a Singer" are okay, but don't rush for now, wait until next year.

Originally, there were not many variety shows he was familiar with, and if he took them all out at once, he wouldn't have to play them all in the future.

Now Xingyao's six variety shows are going to generate an amazing amount of turnover every year, and the advertising fee alone is 3.5 billion a year, not counting other income, these variety shows can help several major TV stations make a lot of money a year.

Everyone is looking forward to another batch of variety shows, and they can't wait for the good variety shows of the year to be released one after another, so as to make money.

But it's only 12 months a year, and now the six variety shows have basically been carved up, but everyone still feels that it's not enough.

Let's take it slowly, when these six variety shows are on fire, you can't let other variety shows share the heat.

The popularity of these variety shows will not go back for more than ten years, a proper cash cow.

After chatting about work in Changsha, I paid New Year's greetings to the local key leaders, and went to the film and television city to see the later stage of the relevant movies and the preparation of new movies.

He also told Zhang Qian to keep up with the progress of "Operation Mekong", and He Fang told Zhang Qian that he must strive to start the film in September, and he could not delay it, and if it really didn't work, he would start the relationship.

The actors have already decided Zhang Hanyu, Wu Jing, and Pan Zhilin as the leading actors, and let Zhang Qian choose the rest, don't keep saying that the movie doesn't give a chance, this kind of opportunity will definitely be given, it depends on whether some actors can endure hardships.

The reason why He Fang wants to go back to Changsha and arrange so many things is because he will not come back until July when he goes to the United States. Because "Dallas Buyers Club" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" were filmed consecutively, there was no chance to come back halfway.

Therefore, after arranging these, He Fang couldn't even spend the Lantern Festival in Changsha, it was really urgent from the United States, and the two dramas were about to start, and they were all a bunch of things......

On the 24th, He Fang took a flight to New York, USA, and then transferred to New Orleans in New York.

"Dallas Buyers Club" was filmed here, why was it filmed here? I don't know, I don't know where he is, because this is what Du Chunsheng introduced when he bought the project, saying that they had examined it.

Since everyone has a mature site selection and has examined it, why change it?

And New Orleans is a very interesting place, not because of the fried chicken...... It's because the movie scenery here is beautiful.

For example, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "12 Years a Slave", and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn 2......

However, the beauty of the area is due to its sparsely populated area, which has seen a dramatic decline in population since the Katrina attacks in 2005. Who wants to live in a place that is hit by hurricanes every year? The point is that no one has rescued them yet.

Obviously, after arriving in New York for a connecting flight, He Fang thought that no one knew him, so when he flew to New Orleans Airport, he did not make the slightest disguise. As a result, he has been sought after by enthusiastic fans, and many are still encouraging.

"He, don't listen to the nonsense of the guy named Paul, my children like your movies very much, they like "The Monkey King" and "White Snake", and the traditional Chinese stories are very interesting."

"Thank you, I think my work is worth it with your likes, thank you very much."

"Oh my God, what a friendly man, why did that damn Paul suppress it?"

……

Of course, in addition to the people who can say good things, there are also enthusiastic flight attendants, constantly hooking his palms, and even inducing him again and again......

Forget it, who gave up doing this on the plane with someone you don't know.

After getting off the plane at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, Du Chunsheng and Leonardo came, and Leonardo ...... really lost weight, but it hadn't reached the level He Fang wanted, and the two got into the car after giving He Fang a big hug.

"Leonardo, you still need to continue this minus." He Fang said bluntly.

"Of course, isn't there so many days left, don't worry, I'll meet the requirements perfectly when the shooting starts." Leonardo assured.

"Well, I trust you, at least I'm seeing noticeable results." He Fang nodded, "What's special about New Orleans?" ”

"Featured? Hmmm......" Leonardo thought for a moment.

"Not including New Orleans fried chicken, of course." He Fang laughed, and then all three of them laughed.

Because the New Orleans Fried Chicken is not because the delicacy originated here, but because the fried chicken uses New Orleans marinades.

"French architecture? Homosexual? This is a paradise for gays, and gay equality here is very good, the same rights as normal couples. Striptease? It is also a major feature here. And also...... Casino? Harrah's Casino is famous. Nothing else seems to be there, what features do you want to know? Leonardo asked.

"Okay, I see." He Fang understands the meaning is to understand why the crew of another time and space wants to choose the scene here, here are most of the needs that the male protagonist needs, gambling, homosexuality, striptease and so on.

"What do you want to play?" Leonardo asked again.

"No, I just want to know more about this place, and then you're going to have to go ahead with your weight loss plan, and I'm going to see the locations to shoot and everything else. I hope we can shoot smoothly and quickly, so that you can recover your body sooner. ”

"Well, I thought you wanted to play something." Leonardo smiled mysteriously.

He Fang shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly.

When you come to the United States, some things cannot be avoided, especially when rich people come here, and there are no moral and legal constraints that you have to follow in China.

For example, in the eyes of Chinese, Ukraine is a very intelligent and respectable nation and country, but in the eyes of Americans...... Well, it's just playthings and tools, so they bought some Ukrainian women and put them on some happy island. They have no morals, only wanton satisfaction of their own desires.

Even they have fun openly to legitimize all this, so they don't have to get criticism and criticism from the public and public opinion.

That night, the crew had a small party, mainly to welcome the arrival of He Fang. There were also some local artists and dignitaries in New Orleans, who didn't know anywhere anyway, but Leonardo knew.

After all, this is the territory of the Democratic Party, and Leonardo is a member of the Democratic Party. That night, the mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrio, also came to welcome him, after all, as the mayor of the United States, if he can win some local crews to promote it, it is a political achievement.

Mitch Landreou and Leonardo are acquaintances, so Leonardo called some Victoria's Secret models...... I understand it all.

He Fang is not reserved, it is indeed energetic, no wonder rich people like to come to such a place, it is indeed free enough and open enough.

People who don't have a little concentration are easy to get lost in the United States, beautiful women from all races around the world, and the freedom to let go of human nature, and there are no moral constraints that can treat people as human beings......

I heard that Voodoo is very popular in New Orleans, and I heard that Voodoo is actually a very controversial religion, especially the rituals such as divination in Voodoo are very mysterious, so ...... Some mysterious acts are taken for granted.

This is what Mitch Landrio told He Fang, and he also mysteriously told He Fang that if he wanted to try a mysterious act, he could arrange it, which scared He Fang a lot, and he didn't want to get involved in this.

Although He Fang doesn't have so many moral cleanliness, he won't pretend not to play this or that, he is originally a scumbag. However, he would not dare to let him get involved with some such rumored cult organizations.

In fact, many Hollywood stars have been involved in cults, such as Alison Mac, who was tricked into being a sex slave in cults, the most famous being Tom Cruise, who was invited by his wife to join the Church of Scientology......

Therefore, we must be vigilant at this point, and never join any organization at will. Sometimes some cults act as cults in the name of environmental protection organizations, because these organizations often hold gatherings for spiritual communication and so on, and then brainwash people step by step.

Therefore, He Fang resolutely does not have any intersection with these people, it is okay to play with women, and the others should not be touched.
