304 If I Love America, Will America Love Me?

He Fang always wants to fool this matter, in fact, it doesn't matter what He Fang says, the important thing is that he comes out to stand on the platform, which will bring traffic to the movie promotion.

After the premiere, He Fang answered several personal questions that reporters were concerned about, that is, he briefly replied to reporters' questions about the Golden Globe Awards, the Oscars, and his personal plans for next year.

After that, I went to the "Police Story 2013" appreciation reception, which was ...... What stands out is that Jackie Chan is very enthusiastic, he is a social cow expert, and he can kiss men when he is excited.

Of course, I heard that Jackie Chan is still a male fighter with explosive combat power, when he was young, he couldn't sleep with excitement without a woman at night, and almost half of the female stars in the entertainment industry have had legends with her, I don't know if it's true or not.

No way, who called him a well-known star who is popular all over the world, he used to be the only one of the scorpions, everyone is looking forward to cooperating with Jackie Chan, of course, there are many strong people, if they can win glory for the Chinese, there will be people who are willing to post upside down, and they can also experience the impact of super combat power, why not?

Just like now, there are many female celebrities who are willing to post where they are, whether they are in the entertainment industry or not.

He Fang didn't go to any female star at night, and even Jing Tian drank some wine and wanted to ask He Fang to have another drink alone, but He Fang refused.

Although he also wanted to push this woman, he didn't want to cause trouble, this kind of trouble was the trouble of talking about marriage, and there was no need.

It's better to quietly go to Liu Yan at night to be more comfortable, it doesn't matter if it's rotten abroad, anyway, people abroad can see it, and domestic fans are also happy to let him abroad.

Everyone will not be happy to mess around in China, and there will be a lot of gossip.

Of course, it's not that he's not interested in domestic women.

On Monday, December 23, He Fang went to visit Gu Yang, and he accompanied Gu Yang to drink tea at home all night and chatted a lot with Gu Yang.

He figured it out, and the plan proposed by He Fang last time was generally very satisfactory and compliant, and of course the specific operation would definitely be restated on the basis of his plan.

In addition, as for the work of He Fang in the recent period, everyone generally supports it, and He Fang can do a lot of things in this unofficial capacity, and the relevant departments welcome it.

Finally, we talked about Peking University's invitation to him to participate in the speech, and He Fang understood what was going on.

It was at a meeting that he talked about rejuvenating the country through science and technology, then talked about the issue of talent, and finally talked about how to retain talent.

Later, it was proposed that the models of returned talents should take turns to give speeches in Qingbei, and He Fang was the most eye-catching one.

Only then did someone suddenly call He Fang to invite him to give a speech, who knows who was rejected by He Fang, but Peking University had no choice but to let Dai Jinhua, who is engaged in film research, find someone to meet He Fang personally invited.

They thought that Mr. Dai Jinhua, who was the top teacher in China in terms of theoretical knowledge in the film industry, should have no problem making a move, but who knows who refused again, and gave a reason that made Peking University very annoyed.

This matter immediately spread at the top, and many people realized that there were some things that had to be done if they didn't do it, even if it didn't have any effect. The fact that senior talents can't come back and can't be retained is a big problem after all, and He Fang's role as a film professional is equivalent to saving China's film industry.

If each industry comes back, then the whole of China will take off, and there is hope for the so-called national rejuvenation.

This is the keynote, and in the future, we must bring talent back to China and retain them.

Therefore, when He Fang denounced the teaching style of Peking University and pointed out the problem of not coming back after studying abroad, He Fang needed to make such a speech.

After figuring out the cause and effect, who is helpless.

"But I don't know what to say. They are all a group of people with their nostrils facing the sky and thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and I will give him patriotic education? Does it make sense? What their school preaches is internationalism, and they have to learn from the perspective of human beings, and the height is very high, and in their eyes, there is no nation, no state, only human beings, how can I do this work? ”

He also has a big head.

"With your wisdom, we all believe that you can, if you really can't, you can tell me about your mental journey, why you returned to China, why you chose to turn the tide with your own strength in the face of the turmoil of the domestic film industry, and help the building to fall. You always tell your own deeds, right? It doesn't need to be made up, and it's sincere. ”

Gu Yang said with a smile.

"For those of them who have been indoctrinated with internationalism and human civilization, my personal experience and thought process is too superficial and not advanced. As a student of Peking University, listening to such non-advanced things, not only will they not be corrected, but they will disdain me. He Fang shook his head.

"Hehe, hehe, don't think too much. We don't expect your speech to turn everyone's hearts around, but we hope that your speech will plant a seed in their hearts, and when they encounter life choices overseas, remembering your experience can give them a reason to come back.

It's not like you said, someone is spreading remarks outside, saying that this is not okay in China, and that is not good, and in the end, if you want to do a good job in academics, you have to be stuck by a small director. If they hear too much of this kind of remarks, they will only cut off the way back to China.

So if they hear that you also chose to return to China when you made a life decision in the United States, and you also overcame the difficulties and soared to the sky when you encountered so-called 'administrative difficulties' in China, then do they have the courage to come back?

Don't look at them all as if they are all overflowing with talent, in fact, their proud status makes them unable to let go of certain decisions, which is the key to hindering them from going home. How to let their proud identity let go of prejudices?

Don't think so much about the effect if it doesn't work, do it first and then talk about it. Many of the methods are found in the process of exploration, as long as the result is not to push the result to a worse situation, then do it first. ”

Gu Yang's words made He Fang understand that the thinking of the decision made by the previous head was like this, and it seemed that some of his heights were still not enough.

After figuring out the cause and effect and the requirements of the superiors, there is nothing more to say.

"But, I've already refused twice in a row, and I'm going to go back and beg them to give a speech?" It is also difficult to find any way.

"This is all a trivial matter, I will ask the top leaders of the school to officially send you an invitation letter in front of the media, and they invite you three times, don't you have this face?" Gu Yang said with a smile.

"But isn't this roasting me on the fire, what will the students of Peking University think? Why did a small star let Peking University invite him three times? ”

"Well, too. However, let's not mention the matter of the three invitations, just a few people have a good idea in their hearts. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back and sort out my thoughts."

It's all said and done, what else can I do? Hit it hard.

Saying goodbye to Gu Yang, he returned to the villa, not to mention how depressed he was, so he had an in-depth exchange with Pan Zhilin that night, and then it was much more refreshing.

On December 24, Peking University officially sent a speech invitation to He Fang, which was called "He Fang's New Year's Eve Speech of Peking University", and the time was set at 10 o'clock in the morning of December 31, in the audience hall of the Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University.

This is a super large lecture hall with a capacity of 2,167 seats, which can not only provide lectures for world celebrities, but also can be used for performances, with professional projection equipment and stage equipment, which is no worse than any professional theater.

This is the essence of Peking University, so much funding and infrastructure every year are first-class in China.

This announcement immediately attracted many students to sign up enthusiastically, and even the students of Tsinghua University, the National People's Congress, Beijing Institute of Technology, Minzu University, and Forestry University next door all tried to listen to the speech, and even the students of Beiwu, Nortel, China Opera, Beijing Normal University, Beijing University of Posts and Posts and other schools were also moved when they heard it......

In the face of such a grand occasion, He Fang couldn't cry or laugh, and felt so stressed.

Therefore, in the next few days, in addition to going to the company to deal with the company's affairs, going to ByteDance to chat with Zhang Yiming about the development of ByteDance, meeting with several contracted directors of Tuanhuo Culture in Beijing for a meal, and getting together with familiar actors, he just buried himself in writing his speech.

Of course, as a qualified actor, the most awesome thing is the off-script speech, who must pretend to be this force. However, now the speech still has to be written, and you have to have a reference in hand. Or to write a speech is to respect everyone, people come to listen to your speech so formally, if you don't even have a speech, it feels like you are here to do homework.

Fortunately, while he was writing his speech, he also had someone, that, and someone come over from time to time to relieve his fatigue, help him massage him, push his legs and so on......

I was really busy until December 30 before it was officially finalized, and He Fang continued to communicate with Peking University, the speech was 40 minutes, and the exchange was an hour and a half.

On the 31st, He got up early in the morning, and there was no massage and massage activity last night, just a good night's sleep, and then went to exercise early in the morning to make himself full of energy.

At eight o'clock, he asked Tong Weidong to drive to Peking University, after all, it was a weekday, and the morning rush hour in Beijing was no joke, so he set off two hours early......

Hurrying slowly, I finally arrived at 9:50, said hello to everyone in the organizer room, and then simply asked the makeup artist to take care of it and was ready to go on stage.

Under the introduction of the host, the audience burst into warm applause to welcome He Fang to the stage to speak, He Fang took a look at the upper and lower floors were full, and even some of the steps were full of people.

He nodded to the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, I am the Chinese director He Fang, I am honored to stand here to communicate with you on the alternating day of the old and the new in this year, thank you for putting down the eagerness to go home to listen to my speech, thank you for putting down the warm quilt in winter to listen to my speech, thank you for leaving your couple to listen to my speech......"

The audience burst into chuckles and cheers.

"Very good, it seems that you are very cooperative with me, at least you didn't make my relaxed opening statement embarrassing here, and you all spent a lot of money to cooperate with my performance. Next time I want to make a film, I'll invite you. ”

"Haha...... Good! The audience suddenly relaxed a lot, and everyone felt that this was a young man's speech, relaxed and lively.

If He Fang starts up with a serious face, and then talks about the quantum theory of wave-particle duality as boring, it is estimated that the effect will be greatly reduced.

"To be honest, I was apprehensive when I was invited to give a speech at Peking University, because I knew that the students of Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Minmin University and other schools are proud, because you have proud capital, and you are the top selected among the top people in the country, the selected talents from the talents, and the geniuses selected from the geniuses.

So, what kind of speech do I have to make to appeal to you? Am I able to attract you now by turning into a soldier? Not necessarily, in your eyes, except for talent and intelligence, you don't look down on anything else.

So, in order to come here to speak, I deliberately spent five years returning to China from the United States, and then grandstanding started the reindustrialization of films, won several awards in a row, and made a few films that satisfied the global audience. I guess I can stand here with my talent, right?

Seeing today's enthusiastic classmates, I definitely told myself that they should have come to see my talent, not my jokes. ”

He Fang said this, which caused applause from the audience.

"Maybe some people will despise me when they hear me boast so much, the Chinese pay attention to modesty and low-key, how can I boast so high here?" Isn't it just a little talent? That's right, you can think of it that way, isn't it just a little talent?

However, my little talent has almost disappeared in the United States, because there are so many unimaginable obstacles that prevent me from showing this little talent. Because of several times around the world, there is only one director who can succeed in the United States, and his name is Ang Lee.

And there are countless directors who go to the United States to study and study and break through every year, why is Ang Lee the only one who succeeds? And there are countless Chinese actors who have gone to Hollywood, why did they only succeed Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li?

Before I went to the United States, I had fantasized about killing all sides in Hollywood, and then fighting monsters along the way to become a director comparable to Cameron. As a result, I was working as an assistant to Cameron for a few years.

And then after what the assistant does, I have the next assistant contract waiting for me. I could have continued to work as an assistant and wait for the opportunity, after all, what successful director didn't start out in his forties? I still have a long way to go.

However, all talented people have a sense of urgency to show their talent right away. But this kind of opportunity is very difficult in the United States, very difficult. Li Ang was raised by his wife for seven years before he had a chance.

At that time, I was faced with a choice, after eight years in the United States, should I become a naturalized citizen and slowly survive like Ang Lee, or do I do something else? At that time, I had a big debate with my classmates. First of all, we started with the original intention of studying in the United States, and then to why should we stay in the United States? Dedicate all of his life's talents to this country that has a dime to do with him.

At that time, I asked myself: If I love America, will America love me? I can dedicate my life to a strange country, so will this strange country provide a strange person with the dignity and security it deserves? ”

When He Fang raised this question, the students in the audience were silent, because no one could guarantee that they would give a stranger the dignity and security he deserved, which was almost difficult.

Clever people will soon figure out that all countries in the world cannot provide 100% dignity and security to their citizens, let alone an outsider.
