331 Where to declare war
"Room" is an uncomplicated film, similar to the Italian film "Life is Beautiful", which is about a father or mother who tries to bring joy and hope to their children in an extreme environment.
This kind of story is evoking great maternal love or father's love, and I won't say much about how classic "Beautiful Life" is, but "Room" cannot reach the height of "Beautiful Life".
One of the biggest reasons is that the background is different, "Life is Beautiful" tells the story of World War II, which itself carries a critique of fascism, and then compares it with the great father's love, this height is different.
And the story of "Room" is about a girl named Joey who is deceived by a neighbor, then imprisoned her for seven years, and has a son with the neighbor. In the end, under Joey's planning, they finally escaped from here, but faced the outside world......
The story is probably just that, and it's based on real events, and it's a movie based on reality.
However, the screenwriter he found was the author himself, so the movie basically restored itself.
Ho doesn't want to change the story, because the biggest highlight of this movie is not the story, but the characters.
That's right, it's the mother and son, the two of them are the focus of the movie, and Anne can win the Oscar with this character.
The real real story can be much more perverted than this pervert,
"Didn't you say it, I feel that after this time, I don't know what state it will be in the future, so it's better to have a final madness." He Fang lit a cigarette and said.
Anne snatched the cigarette and took a puff,
"So, in fact, all animals are oviparous? It's just that the form of the egg is different? ”
"No, why don't you want to play this role well and win the Oscar? It's not the same as winning an Oscar now than it is after you have a baby......"
He Fang felt that Anne was a little unfocused, and her mind was thinking about everything.
Who is trying to guide Anne to concentrate?
……
Shortly after entering June, Ho Fang and Anne had another mission in addition to filming "Room", and the promotion of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was launched, which will be released on June 27.
Although He Fang and Anne are still filming, they can participate in some promotional photos on weekends, accept some interviews, and record a show.
"He, are you interested in continuing to make a movie on our Fox?"
When He Fang went to Fox over the weekend to participate in a Fox media interview, Fauci, the boss of Fox's film production company, asked Where Fang.
He Fang was very surprised, generally like Hollywood studios, after cooperating, they would only ask the original director if they wanted to continue to cooperate when they saw that the movie was a big hit. But what does it mean that Fauci invited to continue working together before the release of X-Men?
Are you optimistic about the strength of whom? Or is it something else?
"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not free, I'll talk about it later. You know, not only do I have a lot of films to make in my own company, but I also have unfinished projects with Columbia, Universal, Warner. I'm not free for the time being, so I'll talk about it when I'm free. ”
Fauci was also surprised by what he said, but he was also expected when he thought about it.
Fauci nodded with a complicated expression, and then shrugged his shoulders: "That's really a pity, we still hope to cooperate with you if we have the chance." ”
"Of course, there is an opportunity to continue working together."
"Okay, then I won't bother with your interview." Fauci shook hands with He Fang and left.
At this time, several of the main creators sitting on the other side were chatting happily with reporters, but unfortunately Fox didn't need Liu Yan and Aragaki Yui to come over in terms of global publicity, so they wouldn't be able to see them.
"Hey, what did Fauci tell you?" During a break in the interview, Anne took the opportunity to come back from the bathroom to ask where she was smoking alone after greeting a few people.
He Fang pursed his mouth, "It's that they still want to take advantage of me and try to entangle a competitor with tens of millions of salaries." ”
After He Fang finished speaking, a trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he took a chic puff of cigarette.
Anne thinks that he is so attractive, this is the fight of high-ranking people.
"You refused?" Anne asked.
"Of course."
"Then you're not afraid of being an opponent?"
"Oh, you don't understand. This is what makes it interesting, and persistence and concealment are the characteristics of this art. He Fang said with a smile.
"What, what art? What is persistence and concealment? Anne didn't understand.
"There is an article in China called "On Protracted War", and I just feel something. Let's go, the interview isn't over yet. ”
After He Fang finished smoking, the two walked over and continued the interview.
"He, everyone knows that you are a director who is very good at making commercial blockbusters, what kind of attractive means did you use in "X-Men" this time? Can you tell us about it in advance? Eric Cuman, entertainment reporter for Fox News, asked.
"The means of attraction? I don't know what kind of means will attract fans, but I believe that fans already have the urge to think of the cinema when they hear my name, I wonder if this is one of the means to attract people? ”
He Fang asked rhetorically.
"Haha, that's for sure, that's one of the means of attraction. What about other than that? Eric Kuman continued.
"I've added watchability to the movie based on the script, such as action scenes, and I believe this will be a completely different X-Men action movie that everyone sees.
In addition, the scenes, production level, lens application and 3D effects of this part will be the best in the history of "X-Men". Because I have used the level of many blockbusters to ensure it, I believe that the audience will not be disappointed.
Of course, as you all know, my adjustment in the cast, with more beautiful actresses joining, I believe this will be one of the other highlights. ”
He Fang seems to be boasting, but in fact he is seeking truth from facts.
"So, what is unique and new in the play? I heard that you used your rights to modify part of the script? Eric Cuman asked.
"I can't reveal too much about the play, it will surprise the audience in the theater. It's definitely not just justice that defeats evil, there are new adjustments in the play, and you will know when you go to the cinema to see it. ”
Where to keep the suspense, about the crew must be kept secret, this is the key to attracting the audience to the cinema.
"So what do you think is the highlight that the new X-Men can give the audience the most that they want to see? If you were asked to introduce a reason to let the audience into the cinema, what would it be? Eric Cuman tapped his pen and tilted his head to ask.
"Three o'clock, all the X-Men characters are back, and the team confrontation will be the biggest attraction, and the various mutants will fight together, this is the first highlight. The second is to travel through time and space to see the distortion of human nature, and the third is to watch action scenes and special effects scenes.
These are the three most prominent highlights in my opinion, and there are too many if you want to count them, such as Annie's interpretation of the demon girl in the film, and the love between Magneto and Professor X......"
When He Fang said this, everyone laughed.
"So where do you think the X-Men series is going in the future?" Eric Cuman continued.
"This, I can't be the master, after all, I'm just a director. I was afraid that if I gave a suggestion, it would affect the producer's established plan, so I still didn't answer. "Who refuses this answer, and wants to extract the method of survival of this series from his mouth for free?
Delusional, he won't say.
……
After the interview at Fox, the main creator of the crew was assigned to be responsible for separate promotions, and He Fang was also arranged with a bunch of publicity projects.
Although the announcement is an obligation and it should be, He Fang was stared at to complete the relevant publicity, which made him feel a little unhappy.
He is a big international director, and China's signature director is stared at and urged to work, which is really unpleasant.
Fox is indeed the media and company on the front line of anti-China, and even the employees of Fox Film Company have some different emotions towards China.
In this case, He Fang also completed the relevant work of the formula, anyway, he was neither active nor active, and he did what he should do when he was urged.
Until June 25, the crew of "Room" had a day off because He Fang and Anne were going to attend the world premiere of "X-Men: Days of Future Past", which was held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
In addition to the world premiere of this movie, there are also Chinese premieres and island country Asian premieres, and they are going to China to make a lot of money.
However, He Fang couldn't participate because of filming, but this did not affect the crew to use Director He Fang's gimmick to make money.
Besides, there is also a Chinese actor Liu Yan in the film, who is in charge of China's propaganda.
This time it really gave Fox the opportunity to make money in China, and they won't let it go.
……
In fact, Liu Yan and Yui Aragaki came on the 24th, although they did not participate in the early promotion of "X-Men: Future Past" in North America, but they participated in the early promotion in Asia.
But on the 24th, He Fang didn't have time to see them, who was going to film, and there was a publicity interview after filming.
Therefore, he waited with Liu Yan and Yui Aragaki to meet before the premiere on the 25th.
"Sister Yan, long time no see." He Fang really hadn't seen Liu Yan for a long time, so he gave Liu Yan a big hug, and Liu Yan almost didn't catch his breath.
"Why are you trying to strangle me?" Liu Yanjiao said angrily, gave He Fang a big white eye, and twisted his waist by the way.
"Hey, cool, Sister Yan, you make me feel so comfortable, I want to do it again."
"Phew, damn it, why did you become so angry and out of tune now? There are so many people here. Liu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that He Fang had not seen her for a long time because he was not interested in her.
"How good people are, more people are exciting, in front of the public, let's hehe......"
"Phew, Phew, Phew...... A rascal, I don't know what's in your head. Liu Yan scolded with a smile.
"It's you!"
"......" Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were full of crystal light, "Phew, I don't know where I learned the earthy love words, so I won't talk to you." ”
Liu Yan was about to leave, but He Fang's next sentence made her break her defense.
"You're going to have a different flavor in a nurse's outfit, right?" He Fang said and winked at her.
"Hmph, ignore you."
Liu Yan said that he went to say hello to others, and at this time, Yui Aragaki, who had been staring at He Fang, came over, because there was an assistant to follow, she was very formulaic.
"Hey, Director He, meet again." Aragaki stretched out her hand and shook it with Ho Fang, and then she scratched Ho Fang's palm twice.
He Fang nodded, "Aragaki, how are you doing?" ”
"Work?"
"Of course."
"It's okay, I recently received invitations from two crews in China, and I want to thank Director He." The two Chinese invitations that Yui Aragaki said were the culture of the group.
He Fang's idea, since you want to use Aragaki well, you have to help her, if you help her open up the Chinese market, I believe that some people will trust her more and will delegate her more things.
"Don't thank me, I didn't help you. Then I wish you all the best in your work and the next time you have the opportunity to work together. ”
"Hey, that's what I'm looking forward to."
The communication between the two was very concise and very clear.
After the crew gathered, and then it was arranged to go to the premiere together, and everyone sat in the crew's car and went to the Dolby Theater.
At the point in time, the premiere red carpet began, and before the official start of the premiere red carpet, there was a brief interview with the crew.
The host even asked who Fang was expected to the box office of "X-Men: Days of Future Past", and He Fang bluntly said that the goal is to win $1.55 billion at the global box office.
At first, the host didn't understand why it was $1.55 billion at the box office, but Ho's answer made the host excited.
Who's answer is: "The Avengers" has a global box office of $1.52 billion, and "X-Men" has $1.55 billion worldwide, right? Could it be Wolverine, Magneto, Professor X, Demon, Storm, Iceman, Sunspot...... These mutants are better than Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Thor...... Poor?
I don't believe it, I believe they're all superheroes of the same level, so we won't lose to them. ”
"Okay, why have high goals, but just now you said that "X-Men" and "The Avengers" are at the same level, but why do you have 30 million more box office than "Avengers"?" The moderator asked.
He Fang ran his hair down the back of his head, "Isn't it worth the extra 30 million?" ”
He Fang's domineering, mighty, and confident appearance immediately ushered in the applause of the reporters and fans at the scene, and the producer of "X-Men: Future Past" shrugged his shoulders and liked He Fang's declaration of war.
In the United States, it must have the courage to declare war on its opponents, and it must have the courage to declare war if it cannot be won.
Where is the declaration of war really just courage? In fact, he has ulterior motives.
