After the premiere, He Fang took the crew of "X-Men" back to filming, and the other creators of the "Mermaid" crew planned to take advantage of the opportunity to come to the United States to appear on some TV shows in the United States, and also went to New York to do two activities.

It's all here, and the premiere has been done, so I just did a little bit of publicity.

On July 4, the day after He Fang returned to the crew, he saw the American media's report on "The Mermaid", as well as the interpretation of "The Mermaid" by various film critics.

The famous film critic Sean Thorpe's article "This is a comedy environmental romance film about class oppression and revolution at the bottom, what is the real master of film" is the most popular, and the interpretation of this film review on Twitter has also been discussed by many people.

"I think Sean has one more layer than I see, I didn't think of the theme of class oppression and revolution at the bottom, no wonder He said in the introduction yesterday that he 'has a lot of ambition and wants to express multiple themes', obviously, I didn't see the theme outside of environmental protection and love, Sean saw it." Here's another film critic James Hawke's review of Sean's film review.

"Wow, Sean, you're great. When you explain this, I understand. That's right, two worlds, a rich human world, and a dilapidated underground mermaid world. Humans oppressed the survival of the merfolk to the limit, and finally the merfolk broke out in a war against humans, that is, a revolution. That's a great interpretation, I really didn't think about it. Film critic Will Roger exclaimed.

Of course, some film critics who also attended the premiere yesterday also saw Sean's article, and most of them agreed.

Even some sensitive media outlets rewrote the report: "Why use the movie [Mermaid] to imply class oppression and revolution, beware of nature's revolution to mankind", a topic that quickly fermented among film critics, media people and entertainment people who watched the premiere yesterday, and they all affirmed this statement.

Even where they were filming in the crew, they were asked by Uncle Wolf and Annie if there was such a theme, because combined with the movie they watched last night and Sean's interpretation, they felt that it was nine times out of ten.

He Fang looked shocked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

"A film critic named Sean Thorpe analyzed, and he was right, right?" Uncle Wolf asked.

He Fang shrugged his shoulders, "I can't say right, I can't say no. I've said that I want to express multiple themes. However, I don't want to label my film revolutionary and anti-class. It's just a pure comedy and environmental movie, isn't it? ”

Everyone understands that this topic cannot be explained thoroughly, and some topics will arouse the disgust of some people who don't like it.

What if these people who don't like it label the movie like this, and then call for a ban on the film in the media? What if you say that this is the hidden propaganda of the revolution of the people at the bottom? What if he is preaching the revolutionary ideas of the East?

Don't underestimate some people, they are very skilled in labeling, and even more proficient in labeling and then opposing them.

The media reporters went to ask where they were at the end of the shooting, if this was the meaning.

"I also heard what Uncle Wolf said to Anne, and I also went to see Sean's movie review. I think his film reviews are very well written, especially when he says that I am a great director, and he is very right. As for the rest, that's Sean's personal interpretation. ”

He Fang's answer was ambiguous, and he would definitely not admit it.

"Meaning you're not expressing such a theme, are you?" The reporter asked.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers, and I have no such theme expression as to what you see. Just like a woman's carcass on the screen, some people see sex, some people see art, and some people see many kinds at the same time. "There is still no clear answer to the question of where.

"And did you express it?" The reporter did not give up, and wanted to get a positive answer to where to go.

"It doesn't matter if I express it or not, it's what you see."

"It's very important that you're not really expressing that." The reporter said.

"No, it doesn't matter at all. I said no, what can I do? Isn't there anyone who has deciphered this theme? What if I say yes? Could it be that because I have this theme, I can make the movie better at the box office? It doesn't matter, it's what you bring to the audience what you think. ”

He still refused to make a clear statement, and the reporter was also helpless.

Several of the actors of "The Mermaid" were asked this question when they went to the "Carlson Tonight Show" TV show, but fortunately he communicated with them in advance.

"The director didn't explicitly express this theme to us during the shooting, because we didn't know if there was such a theme, and it depended on the director to answer it. To be honest, if you didn't say that there was this theme, we wouldn't know, in our opinion, this is a comedy movie, a comedy movie about environmental protection, and then about love. ”

This is Deng Chao's answer on behalf of the crew, and it is also a relatively neutral answer, neither admitting nor denying it.

Why be ambiguous on this minor issue?

Of course, it is to avoid being caught, and at the same time, it is also to pretend to be mysterious to attract the audience.

……

When the news of the premiere in the United States returned to China and spread to the world, everyone instantly had new expectations for Hefang's new movie, and fans felt that they were waiting to unmantle the three blind boxes of Hefang's movie all year round.

"He Fang gives fans three blind boxes every year, this is the third, I'm really looking forward to it, I will have to wait for the Spring Festival next year after I finish dismantling this." Some fans said.

"Obviously, you're not a true fan of any other movie. But if you are a real movie fan, you will not say that this is his last one this year. The last blind box of the year is "Dallas Buyers Club", which is going to be for the Oscars. ”

"That's right, He Fang hasn't made an award film for two or three years, and I almost forgot about it."

"I heard you're going to Venice first?"

"There are also people who say they want to participate in Tokyo, but there is no news at all, and it depends on the results of the specific Venice shortlist when it is announced."

"Venice again? Can't make it to Berlin? It's okay to get a Grand Slam. ”

"Upstairs, it's February in Berlin, and I can't wait until then, unless I don't participate in next year's Oscars. But how is it possible not to participate in next year's Oscars? Leonardo is rushing for next year's grand prize, looking at the photos on the Internet, he wants to take this thin paper man. ”

"Hey, aren't you talking about Mermaids? How did you get to Who's award-winning movie? ”

""Mermaid" is now very hotly discussed abroad, saying that it is where to pay tribute to "Avatar", and that his film is about class oppression, and then the theme of revolution at the bottom."

"I'm curious about how it's science fiction, comedy, and class oppression and revolution."

"I heard that He Fang didn't admit this theme, but those who watched the premiere said it was like this. Ah, I'm looking forward to it, I can't wait to see it right away, I bought a ticket for the No. 5 Lingdian Field, I can't wait......"

"Alas, my girlfriend asked me to wait for him to see him on Sunday, and she only had a holiday on Sunday...... Ah......h

"You won't watch two shows, you can watch one by yourself first, and then watch one with your girlfriend on Sunday."

"No, then I will feel that I betrayed her, I didn't experience the first viewing with her, and I would lack a sense of surprise together......"

"I'll lose it, lick the dog!"

……

The time is very fast, July 5 is coming, and "The Mermaid" will also be released simultaneously around the world.

Since "The Mermaid" did not premiere in China, almost all film critics and media people across the country went out to watch the movie in the cinema for the first time. The intimate Tuanhuo culture gave them ten free tickets per person, which can be redeemed directly on the Maoyan website, and then go to the theater and show you want to see.

This time, there was no premiere, no media fees, and ten free movie tickets, which was praised by film critics, at least Tuanhuo Culture didn't save this money.

Almost all of the critics redeem tickets for the midnight show on July 5, just to finish it early and then write a fresh review when daylight arrives on July 5.

In Shuangjing UME Cinema in Beijing, the famous Zhou Limin came over early to go shopping, had supper, and waited for the movie to start.

He was very interested in what Hollywood critics called 'class oppression and anti-oppression revolution', and he wanted to see what new tricks he had played this time.

At 11:50, the ticket was cut and entered, there were crowds, it is estimated that more than one hall will be opened, Zhou Li voted for the giant screen hall, and it is better to watch the giant screen for 3D movies.

For about ten minutes, the hall of 400 people was full, which shows that He Fang's movie appeal is really not low.

The three veteran directors really haven't been beaten before, and they can't do it at all, the three of them haven't had a movie that can pass the box office of 1 billion, and He Fang's movies have long been surpassed.

What a gap......

However, I heard that Director Feng Xiaogang is filming the scripted sci-fi movie "Ready Player One" provided by He Fang, and there is a lot of movement, and it is often possible to see how Huayi is progressing in the media, what technical problems Feng Xiaogang has solved, how many special effects shots will there be in the whole movie, and how many classic game and animation characters will be put on the screen......

Anyway, it's a momentum, speculation, and now Huayi is nervous, such a big investment is afraid of losing, once it loses, the stock market will fall, and they won't be able to harvest shareholders.

Far from it.

When the time came, the lights of the audience were turned off, and the audience consciously put on 3D glasses and finally watched the feature film......

The first half of the plot is very good, anyway, it is all kinds of funny things that go wrong, showing the life of the rich and drunk, and at the same time showing the crisis of the mermaid clan, seeing that their homes are about to be destroyed, and they can't go to the deep sea, they are facing a desperate situation.

Sure enough, as Hollywood film critics said, the contrast is very strong, a bit of the concept of "Avatar". At the same time, it also shows the metaphor of class oppression.

How to transform Liu Xuan from an oppressor to a savior? Of course, it started with his discovery of the secret of the merfolk clan, and then from his understanding of the situation of the merfolk step by step.

Avatar uses the same technique, where Jack and Netini change the way humans think about Pandora's behavior in the course of their relationship, and then rebel against humans with the Na'vi.

The ending adopts a similar ending to "Avatar", and the mermaid clan led by Liu Xuan used a lot of bone arrows, bone knives and other weapons to face the equipment led by Li Ruolan with spearguns, muskets, automatic ropes, and trigger fishing nets.

In addition, humans also have diving equipment, sonar and other jamming equipment......

This is not exactly the same plot direction as the final ending of "Avatar", where the Na'vi defeat the almost heavily armed mecha human army with primitive force, of course, the process can be both tense and a little hilarious.

For example, Liu Xuan is not a mermaid, and Shanshan didn't blow bubbles for him, so he couldn't hold back after plunging into the water for a while, and then grabbed oxygen with humans and other comedy scenes.

But in general, it will not use spoofs to destroy the cruelty and intensity of this war, as for how fierce and cruel it is, Li Ruolan summoned more teams, and the mermaid clan broke the sonar because of the help of the sea clan, so the black pressed a piece, green, green, black, white, and colorful all kinds of fish demons......

The leaders of Li Ruolan seem to see all they see is money, and the leaders of the mermaid clan see all hatred......

How to play it exactly, you can open the Tianling cover to imagine and imagine, and the text description can be described in tens of thousands of words, but there is a suspicion of the number of water words......

In the end, humanity was defeated, Li Ruolan was captured, and then the development of the Causeway Bay project was stopped......

After the whole movie was played, the audience breathed a sigh of relief and enjoyed watching it.

And Zhou Limin sat in the chair for a while, immersed in the mood of the movie and still didn't come out of it. After a while, when he saw the audience around him start to walk out, he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and typed a paragraph: "This is not just a copycat that imitates or pays tribute to Avatar......"
