344 How did a movie get on a passport?
Of course, in order to comply with laws and regulations, cats are also blocking certain photos, and some new regulations on photos and videos have been reissued.
These are activities aimed at young people, but they work well.
The pre-sale box office on August 1 immediately rose to 120 million, and the situation is very good, and the box office is not worried at all.
Two or three days have passed since the premiere of "Operation Mekong", and various film review articles have also gone viral on the Internet, with many praising film reviews, but also some complaining film reviews.
Let's not talk about praise, anyway, there are a lot of circulation on Douban or other film review areas.
Some people praise the main theme movie for being so tall as a big breakthrough, some people analyze the suspense of many details of "Operation Mekong" (no spoilers), some people count the weapons and equipment of "Operation Mekong", some people praise the action design of "Operation Mekong", and some people praise "Operation Mekong" for not dragging mud and water......
Anyway, from the performances, plays, photography, actions, special effects, weapons and equipment, etc., it is all praised, and the fans who praise it directly are itchy and can't wait to see it immediately.
Some people even said that those who cried at the premiere were excited to cry, and it was very relieving to see the action to eradicate drug lords that demonstrated the prestige of the country, and it made people cry when they saw the front-line policemen who sacrificed for the country.
Of course, there are criticisms, and this criticism cannot be stopped. Even the most awesome movie will be criticized.
"Operation Mekong" is also being severely criticized, for example, there are several shortcomings in the number of people.
For example, some people have criticized the characters in "Operation Mekong" for being flattened, not three-dimensional, and lacking in flesh and blood. Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu's personal backgrounds are not well described, and the two protagonists feel like robots that have been ordered to rush forward. Not only the two of them, but the other characters are also very mechanical, including the villain Nuoka is like a big fool who suffers from neuropathy, and film critics feel that a big drug lord like this should not be a big fool, but must be a heroic character and a very skillful character.
Of course, after this criticism came out, there were also people who refuted it below.
"The movie is only 120 minutes, the plot is very tight, and the theme of this movie is how to eradicate the big drug lords and bring them back to China to try them. Instead of spending a lot of pen and ink to pave the way for heroes to become heroes. Your request is ...... It can't be said that it is completely unreasonable, but it is difficult to be strong. It's good to explain the action clearly in 120 minutes, but if you want to scatter the characters, the plot is not tight and not good-looking. ”
"What three-dimensional image do you want to give a villain to a big drug lord, excuse me? He is a heinous drug dealer, do you want to make him a three-dimensional figure who cares about the poor, has affection and righteousness, and holds high the banner of development and has to engage in drug trafficking? You are a brainless request, everything requires the characters to be flesh and blood, and some characters can't be flesh and blood. ”
"I think the author has fallen into the artistic rendering of the literary characters, this kind of thinking is unacceptable, and our main theme movies used to love this. I always hope to make the hero three-dimensional and emotional, thinking that it can make the audience understand why the hero becomes a hero and why it is great.
and how the villain is portrayed as having means, how wise, and how difficult to fight...... In the end, decency can catch the villain, which highlights the greatness of decency even more...... To be honest, such a literary character is outdated now, but the audience doesn't like to watch it.
The audience likes to see how the decent experienced how many dangers and then defeated the villain in 120 minutes, and as for whether the characters of the decent and the villain are full, it is something to consider after watching it. ”
……
Of course, there are also people who criticize the lines for not being nutritious, the fights are good-looking but too long, some of the plot of the movie is too bloody, and the bad impact of the lack of a domestic classification system on teenagers is not taken into account, and the main theme is too brainless, which is purely to incite the pride of the audience, what is the most failed movie......
Anyway, the reasons for criticism are all 'justified and well-founded', anyway, it is to argue that "Operation Mekong" is a big bad movie from all aspects, and what kind of movie is the Waterloo, and persuade fans not to watch it, because if they go to see it, they will only be brainwashed into a 'brainless patriotic thief'......
And there is no shying away from criticism, like the reporter asked him, 'Someone criticizes him, this movie is just brainwashing the audience into a brainless patriotic thief, what do you think?' He Fang was not angry, nor did he have a bad face.
"I've expected this situation, it's normal for people to criticize movies, and I don't want to criticize these critics, they have the right to criticize. However, please criticize within reason, some people criticize that a movie can brainwash the audience into a 'brainless patriotic thief'.
So they are preaching the West every day, can it be said that they are brainwashing the people? Want to brainwash the populace into 'loyal slaves of the West'? Why should a film give it such a political hat that does not belong to it? It's just a movie based on real events. ”
He Fang's words are not light, but they are not heavy, they are not light, they are to counter the arguments that criticize "Operation Mekong" for brainwashing fans into 'brainless patriotic thieves', especially a movie based on real events, splashing such dirty water, in fact, it can be punished.
So why do you ask whether some people who have been touting the West all year round are also brainwashing the people? Do you want to turn the populace into 'loyal slaves of the West'?
It's not heavy, because He Fang didn't have an excited rebuttal of the long argument, but just emphasized that this is a movie based on real events, and there is no need to be so online.
Although He Fang's answer was not light or serious, netizens did not do it.
"Brainwashing? I've seen the premiere, and the whole movie is as the critics say, the characters are flattened, which is to introduce how the operation unfolds and how to bring people back. Where is the brainwashing? Not a single word is about politics or ideology and politics, but all about how to arrest people.
Besides, this is a movie based on real events, and it wasn't deliberately fabricated by anyone, is this a real event that has also become brainwashing? So why don't some people brainwash the real reasons behind the invasion of the United States and the West in the Middle East? ”
This is a positive side, and of course there are negative sides.
"There are so many real events, why choose this kind of brainwashing event to shoot? There are many real events of corruption, people's livelihood, and bullying, and they try to shoot in their favor, and he is just a dog instructed by others when he is publicized, and he is also an international director, and he has no independence at all. ”
"Hehe, that's right, then why do you pick up good propaganda from the United States and the West? Why don't they advertise it? If we shoot a little positive energy, you will scold, and if the United States and the West do bad things, you will find reasons and excuses, why don't you independently point out the differences between the United States and the West? ”
“……”
He Fang and the crew of "Operation Mekong" ignored these controversies on the Internet, if "Operation Mekong" was not filmed by He Fang, it is estimated that the controversy on the Internet would not be so loud.
It is precisely because of the influence of He Fang that such a film can be exported internationally, so there are many critics of "Operation Mekong".
"Why, as you said, sure enough, the film schedule of various countries is very low, and they are all some bad films." At about ten o'clock in the evening of July 31, He Fang received a call from Zhang Qian, and Zhang Qian said on the phone.
"Normally, now is the time to test our ability to distribute internationally, so try to do it. In the future, the containment and suppression will only increase, and you must cooperate with Minister Gu to sign some cooperation agreements with as many countries as possible in the past few years.
This year is 2014, three years at most, and that's the time left for us. It is estimated that Hollywood will compete with us seriously in three years, and after three years, it is estimated that it will be suppressed without rules. ”
He Fang mentioned Zhang Qian again, which means that he should hurry up.
"Okay, let's go back and let the company adjust its focus for the next three years."
"By the way, to have an international momentum, as the CEO of the company's daily affairs, you don't want to socialize directly by yourself, run more international affairs, who will still find you to socialize when you are not in China? In addition, to expand overseas business, we should pay attention to the joint peers, relying on our company alone is not strong, and the ability to resist risks will be poor.
Like Bona, Xingmei, China Film, Wanda, and Huayi, which have the strength to expand overseas cinemas and publicity, they have joined forces to discuss how to work together. If you need me to come forward when the time is right, you have to tell me......"
He Fang is really not blowing when he says this, sometimes the energy of an international director is really great, especially communicating with the local people will make many things much easier.
……
Everyone knows that the box office of "Operation Mekong" will definitely be very popular on the first day, but it is difficult to say whether the stamina will be strong, and it still depends on the specific box office.
This time, "Operation Mekong" still has a strong roadshow promotion as before, and it will be held in several key box office cities in China, and it will also be unveiled in several key cities in Asia.
But the intensity is not as great as before, and I used to wish I could run a few more theaters in a day, and I could do a few more shows.
Now with a coffee position, you don't need to go to the cinema to run, that doesn't seem advanced.
This time, "Operation Mekong" cooperated with large shopping malls in local cities to carry out shopping and movie ticket delivery activities, industry forum activities, program recording, and a small number of cinema activities, plus fan meetings to show the weapons and equipment in "Operation Mekong".
This is the new propaganda routine, and it is no longer a matter of running the theater. Because the coffee position is different, go to the theater again...... Being close to the people is being close to the people, but the grade is not high.
No, the first day of publicity was set in Hong Kong, and shopping mall activities, a cinema event, fan meet-and-greets, and program interviews were all arranged.
In the past, mainland audiences were crazy about Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, but now He Fangyi has come to Hong Kong, and many fans are still very excited.
For example, when he appeared at the fan meeting, the audience shouted excitedly, He Fang's top commercial films and top awards one after another still conquered some picky Hong Kong fans.
"Friends, is the movie good?" The host shouted at the audience.
"Okay!"
"Thank you for your support, and thank you for joining us for today's event, which will not only have autographs, but also shopping vouchers with shopping malls such as Harbour City and Pacific Place. And, of course, the all-important robot dog model of Operation Mekong......"
"Let's start with the first item, Fan Q&A, we will select ten lucky viewers to ask questions, please think about your own questions. Come, let's draw the first question spot from our Director He......"
"Who is the director, when will you come to Hong Kong to film?" This is a question from a student with glasses.
"I don't have a plan for the time being, but I think there will always be a chance, after all, I'm still young, only thirty-one years old, and there are still a lot of opportunities to come over to film."
"Who is the director, how many advanced weapons and equipment are used by the mainland police in "Operation Mekong", how many of them are real? Will it be used by the Hong Kong police? ”
"Many of the weapons in it are real and have been applied to real-life work. As for whether I can give this to the Hong Kong police, I don't know, after all, it's not for me to decide. He Fang smiled.
"Director Where, since there is Operation Mekong, why not completely eradicate the drug dealers in the Golden Triangle?"
This is not a question I can answer, but I can answer my personal thoughts through my understanding. The problem in the Golden Triangle is not with drug traffickers, but with governance. Just like Hong Kong, if Hong Kong does not have a clean government and a strong military support, then there will be lawless elements from various countries who will come here and make a mess of Hong Kong.
So, in that case, what is the role of defeating the boss of a community of underworld forces? It doesn't work at all, because those who should be making profits here are still making profits here, and the local people still have to do something illegal in order to survive.
The Golden Triangle is the problem, three regardless of the zone. So there are many evils, if you defeat a Kunsha, you will produce a Luo Xinghan, if you defeat a Luo Xinghan, you will produce a Nuo Kang, and if you defeat Nuo Kang, who will be next?
And the local farmers, what can they do without opium to make money? These are very real questions. So what the Chinese police could do in the past was to arrest and try Nuo Kang, who had harmed Chinese citizens, and we couldn't do anything else. ”
He Fang's answer made the fans and reporters in the audience nod their heads, this is indeed the case.
"So if Hong Kong citizens encounter difficulties overseas, will the Chinese police intervene?" At this time, a girl raised her hand and asked.
"Of course, the Chinese government has an obligation to help all Chinese citizens and try to ensure the safety of their lives and property abroad. Of course, the premise is that what you are doing overseas is legal and legal. ”
"Director He, can Hong Kong students apply for the police examination in the mainland?"
"This, I really don't know, it should be possible, but there will be certain conditions. If this student is interested, you can go to the relevant department to learn about the relevant information. ”
He didn't expect anyone to ask such a question.
"Director He, you just said that if Hong Kong citizens encounter difficulties overseas, they will be protected by the Chinese government, can they be like the United States?"
"My friend, Hong Kong is an information-advanced society, but I'm not sure if you've heard of the Libyan evacuation in 2011. China evacuated more than 30,000 people in 275 hours, and even Americans admired that China was doing a good job. Therefore, when it comes to protecting citizens overseas, Americans are not necessarily doing better than Chinese. If you don't believe me, you can look up the relevant events.
In addition to this, you can also ask the fishermen of Taiwan Province. On the high seas, fishermen in Taiwan Province were often bullied by Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries, but as long as they hung the five-star red flag, they would be safe at sea. ”
When He Fang said this, the fans in the audience were excited to hear it, and then applauded and shouted 'Okay'!
"Why, you are talking nonsense, the British Empire and the American Empire are the real countries that can protect their own companies." A few reporters immediately retorted.
He Fang spread his hands, "It's very simple, you take a BNO passport to the local British embassy in any country, and you take a Hong Kong, China passport to the Chinese embassy in any country to see which country can help you solve practical difficulties, this is not difficult, right?" Just give it a try and find out. ”
