276 Film critic Sean's interpretation of "The Mermaid."
The attentive film critic saw some doorways, and someone wrote it in his notebook: "This seems to be another movie of cross-racial love, but this time He Fang is not talking about the traditional Chinese love between humans and snake demons, but about the love between humans and mermaids." It is mixed with the mode of "Avatar", the male protagonist stands up for the alien race, and finally protects the alien race and defeats the human ......"
Another film critic wrote: "For talking about love, He Fang seems to have found some way, the theme of this movie is clearly about environmental protection, but in fact, it talks about two modes of love." One is the interest model between the female rich and the male protagonist, and the other is the interracial model between the male protagonist and the mermaid. It's all very good and profound......"
And the famous Hollywood film critic Sean Thorpe deconstructs it like this: "It seems to use absurd comedy to talk about environmental protection, but if you look closely, he is talking about love, and finally you see that he seems to be talking about class." One is the rich class who manipulate the fate of others, and the other is the bottom of the society whose fate is manipulated.
But they live happily in this dark corner, and they put the rich people's garbage back into their own paradise. It's like the slums, the dwellings of the homeless. The requirements of these social undergraduates are simple, as long as there is a habitat.
However, the rich have to occupy even the lowest habitats for redevelopment in order to make profits, which is the root cause of the conflict...... In the face of the oppression of high-tech weapons, the merfolk have joined forces with more creatures in the ocean that have been oppressed by humans to carry out a major counterattack.
How is this like the origin of the revolutionary fire, the oppressed merfolk at the bottom are going to rebel against the rulers, and they are rebelling because they want to have a quiet habitat......
The end of the story turns what would have been a game of perfect plutocrats into a revolutionary rebellion.
If the rich can no longer oppress the bottom, if the developed countries will oppress the people of the third world so much, if human beings will oppress the earth so much...... Then the flame of revolution will eventually be ignited......"
The excited Sean himself was moved by himself, he didn't expect "Mermaid" to give him so much inspiration, he didn't expect him to see such a profound theme in "Mermaid", and he didn't expect He Fang to package multiple themes together so cleverly.
Sean muttered, "What is a master, a real movie master......"
When the movie ended, the lights were lit up, and the applause was thunderous, Sean was awakened, his heart was excited, his eyes were full of tears, and he once again saw the sublimation of ideas from a movie......
And He Fanghe led the creators to applaud the audience in return, and after nearly ten minutes, Anne finally walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
"Friends, are you still satisfied with the movie?" Anne showed the 'open' side that some viewers didn't like.
βYESοΌβ The audience shouted.
"OK, let's invite the film's creators to the stage with a warm palm, they are ......" Every time Anne pronounced a name, the applause from the audience was enthusiastic, until finally she pronounced the name of the party, and the audience cheered and whistled in unison, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your support!" They have been thanked again and again.
"Well, Ho, the movie is really shocking, we are no longer the target of alien bullying, but the bad guys who bully other species. I'll say something unpleasant, this is a bit like the earth's version of "Avatar", whether it is the concept of human invasion of other biological territories or the ending direction, as well as the theme of ecological destruction against human beings, it is similar to "Avatar", I don't know if this is a delusion of mine? β
Anne's words made some of the audience who didn't understand it exclaim, and when they thought about it, it was really a bit similar.
"You're right, it's true, no, I'm paying tribute, I think I'm paying homage to the great James Cameron, who was the first international director to use a blockbuster film to reflect on human behavior, and I think it's a good reflection. So, I paid tribute to him with another film. Moreover, I am more ambitious in this film, I want to express multiple themes, and I hope I do it. β
As soon as He Fang finished speaking, the applause at the scene rang out, and Cameron in the audience shrugged his shoulders and was very happy.
"Yes, we saw it, you expressed it very well and in a very layered way. When making such an environmentally friendly movie, why did you first think of using a comedy? But the subject you talk about is actually very heavy, and sometimes it is not easy to express it thoroughly in comedy. Anne asked again.
"It's because of the heaviness that I feel that comedy is more profound and memorable to the audience. Because everyone knows that the core of comedy is tragedy, is it better to use tragedy or comedy to show a heavy topic? In my personal opinion, tragedy is resisted by the general public, although the tragedy is very profound, but it is not easy for everyone to survive, why let them be sad with the movie again? β
He Fang's words once again aroused cheers and applause from the audience.
"Everyone says that I am an arrogant person who loves to steal the limelight, but I didn't expect that what I said could steal the limelight even more, and I was more eloquent than me." Anne said 'unexpectedly'.
"Are you arrogant and in the limelight? Arrogant people are like this, cough, cough ......" He Fang cleared his throat, "how lonely is invincible, how empty is invincible......"
Of course, He Fang sang it in English, and there was laughter on the spot, which was really too arrogant.
But everyone understands that this is not really arrogant, but a satire on those who say Anne is arrogant.
"Well, next time I have to show up on stage singing your song, or I don't deserve to be an arrogant person." Anne teased at the right time.
"Of course you can, but you have to charge royalties."
"Oh, NO......" Annie said angrily, "well, let's get back to the point, the movie." I want to ask Deng, did you laugh at the joke about drawing mermaids at the police station? β
"Of course, I laughed at first, but when I filmed it a dozen times, I basically couldn't laugh. Pity the two actors who play the police, they end up laughing with their faces dirty. β
Deng Chao shrugged.
"As I said, the core of comedy is tragedy, and the poor two have to laugh many times when they are so painful." Anne is very comfortable with learning, but she is actually a person who is very good at expressing herself.
It's a pity that Deng Chao's English is not good, otherwise he is also a person who can express himself very well, and he can get involved with Anne.
Anne then hosted the premiere perfectly, including interacting with the guests.
"Director Cameron, I heard that He once worked in the crew of "Avatar" and was deeply influenced by you, and now he has used your concept of "Avatar" to make a movie that pays tribute to you, what do you think of this movie?"
The staff gave Cameron the microphone, and Cameron gave him a thumbs up.
"Ho does a great job, and his storytelling skills are even better than mine. Although this movie does not have those imaginations of alien planets, nor does it have more dazzling pictures, it is closer to reality and can make people reflect.
He has his own set of themes, rhythms, love, and photography, and this set is very effective, allowing us to see a style that belongs to him. Come on, I'm optimistic that he can achieve even more in the future. β
Cameron slammed it.
Of course, the same will be true for Leonardo and others in the future.
Bigwigs like Fox Films' CEO Stacy Snyder have come forward to praise He Fang, "I think He keeps showing us his skills in making various types of movies, sci-fi, Chinese costumes, adventure, action, comedy, it seems that he can shoot any genre and can shoot well, which is a rare point."
There are many directors who usually only specialize in one or two types of films, but this is obviously not the case, and he seems to be able to control many kinds. Therefore, we are very happy to work with He Neng.
As for the movie "Mermaid", I seem to see Ho rebelling against something, He is playing very high-level, and I admire such a talented director. β
β¦β¦
It seems that Hollywood bigwigs are trying their best to give He Fang a lot of face, are they really convinced by his talent? In essence, everyone knows that Westerners do things like this, they think you are profitable, and they will not be stingy with what kind of big specifications they give.
Now when everyone thinks he is profitable, not only can they enter the Chinese market through him, but they can also ask him to be a director to earn the global box office, so why not praise him? As for what is the threat? Jokes, who can threaten Hollywood? And who can threaten America's cultural hegemony?
They don't believe it, and they won't believe it.
The reporters didn't know where to go this time, and most of them asked normal questions, nothing out of the ordinary.
However, the National Enquirer asks an interesting question, where is he standing for Anne? If He Fang has no special relationship with her, what is the reason for supporting her? Because it is impossible for ordinary people to selflessly help another person who is in a quagmire for no reason.
This is quite reasonable, Anne is in a quagmire, and many people have long been hiding far away, but who wants to support her, why?
"Although your question has nothing to do with this film, I can make an exception to answer you. The reason why I strongly support Anne and insist that I come up with a reasonable explanation is for two reasons: one is the benefit, and the other is that the risk is small.
I don't need to tell you what the benefits are, right? Our film has long been set for the role of Anne as the heroine, and I really appreciate her performance, and she has the strength to bring better commercial results to our films.
The risk is small, because the content of the rumors for Anne is some moral kidnapping that does not stand up to scrutiny. was so deliberately aimed at Anne, so loudly to smear her, but he didn't come up with any black material, proving that Anne really has no black material. So, I support her because I'm not afraid that things will slip out of control. β
He Fang's answer is very realistic, there is no euphemism, it is so direct.
Of course, it is also very convincing, and a discerning person can know at a glance where he is telling the truth. Because he invited Anne to participate in "X-Men", he didn't want to lose, and he supported Anne because Anne really has nothing to hack, and supporting her will not have a negative impact.
Anne shrugged her shoulders when she heard this explanation, and her smile was complicated, in the reporter's opinion, her smile was complicated because of who supported her, not because it was really out of the care of friends, but out of consideration of interests.
In fact, He Fang has already told Anne this, and she can also understand that He Fang must give a reasonable explanation to the outside world, if this explanation is unreasonable, it will not only make the outside world give birth to a lot of conjecture and gossip, but also make Anne's husband think wildly.
And Anne's complicated smile is that she is sad that she can't have a result with somewhere, and she feels guilty because she is behind her husband's back. That's why she had this complicated smile, not what Fang's words hurt her.
After the premiere, the next thing was that the reception was a high-end game, after all, there were executives from multiple companies.
Don't look at the so-called fair and free America, but in fact classes are everywhere. During the reception, some executives and celebrities with heavy weights did not appear in the hall, but those who came to the reception knew that they were here.
He Fang also presided over the reception in the hall, and then he came to another hall, this hall only had thirty or forty people, all of whom were important people from Hollywood.
This is class, and it is also an unspoken rule, and everyone understands it. In public, they sit in the crowd and watch movies with everyone else, but it's not so easy if you want to reach them privately.
This is true not only abroad, but also at home. Let's talk about the domestic Golden Rooster Award, hundreds of guests participate in this award, real big coffee and executives or bosses of large companies, are ordinary guests able to meet in private? I can't see it.
"Chinese He's New Films Are Funny and Thoughtful"
"What Another Movie of Interracial Love"
"Tribute to [Avatar], He filmed an earth version of [Avatar]"
"Is it about environmental protection or love? Both take into account the high level of Ho"
"This is a comedy environmental romance film about class oppression and revolution at the bottom, what is a real film master"
"Cameron: Ho's Storytelling Ability Partially Surpasses Me"
Leonardo: What a director who is good at performing miracles
