Of course, He Fang didn't think that what he said to Sidney Sheinberg, the CEO of Universal, could break the relationship between some people in the United States and Americans in China, and history told him that once those people in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China recognized the master, no matter how the master beat and scolded them, they were obedient like dogs, and it was useless to sow discord.

He just wanted to disgust those people when he said this, and it was really pitiful and ridiculous to send a poisonous curse in front of the Americans.

"Mr. Sidney, this is a deliberate attempt to sow discord between me and Hollywood, and I know that there are people who don't want me to achieve better things because it's not conducive to Hollywood winning the Chinese market. So, they want you to do something to me.

But, Mr. Sidney, there are those who seem to be loyal, but who use their loyalty to you for personal gain, is it really in your interest to use you to bring me down? I don't know, of course, I don't have the ability to resist, after all, you're Hollywood bigwigs. ”

He Fang said very cowardly, but his demeanor did not look cowardly.

Sidney was certainly not a fool, "He, no one wants to suppress you, at least Universal doesn't have that plan." Of course, you may hear different voices in the United States, but you should understand that this is our political ecology, and some people must support and some people must oppose it.

So, while there are those who we work with you, there are those who oppose working with you. But that doesn't affect you, does it? Well, as an adult, we all know that some things are just like that, and we live in a world full of contradictions.

I believe that these will not affect you to make some correct decisions, in fact, as a person, I don't care whether you do a big deal, and I don't care if the movie you make is a threat to Hollywood.

Because the world is diverse, some people need to watch Hollywood, but there are also people who need to watch Chinese movies. It's just that for American politicians and capitalists, the rise of Chinese films is something more serious than a commercial loss, do you know why? ”

Sidney seems to be very open-minded and does not shy away from talking to He Fang about these sensitive things, and does not seem to worry at all about letting He Fang know some truth.

Why is this happening? He Fang thought about it for a while, and it was nothing more than two points.

One is that he is not in the same league as those people.

Second, this is the enemy's self-confidence, even if you know the truth? Knowing it will only make you succumb faster.

Are there still few people who know about these people? Too many, but so what? Some people who don't know will still fight, but those who know will surrender faster.

He Fang smiled: "Of course I know, after all, I have studied and worked in the United States for a long time, and I have a certain amount of research on system and philosophy. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Sidney said in surprise.

"In a country like the United States, where capitalism is at its peak, there is little temptation for them to make ordinary corporate profits, or to monopolistic business in general. They have so much money that they control the global economy and profits.

So, money and power are just numbers and games for them. However, they are afraid, they are afraid of two things, the first is death, and the second is the loss of the secret means of earning wealth.

Not to mention death, they are already trying all kinds of ways to delay death. For the second thing, how not to lose the secret means of wealth earning? What is their secret method? Of course, it is a monopoly, this is not an ordinary industry monopoly, this is no longer their goal.

The real monopoly of wealth is the ridge of ideology, which allows them to harvest the world's wealth at will. For example, environmental protection, once this ideology becomes a global consensus, then they will use environmental protection to make a lot of money.

Another example is transgender identity, once this ideology also becomes mainstream, he can still use this ideology to make a lot of money. Another example is that 'guns are the sacrosanct and inviolable rights of citizens', the export of this ideology can make military enterprises make money for a long time...... There are many such examples.

The monopoly of the right to spread ideology is related to the life and death switch of their wealth earning, so they will never allow the second kind of ideology to be spread contrary to them. Perhaps, this may be the reason why someone wants to suppress me? ”

After He Fang finished speaking, he looked at Sidney, who was already surprised, and it was obvious that Sidney thought He Fang was right.

"Do you think you're against them? They have the greatest wealth and power in the world, and they will do their best to break their monopoly on ideological propagation. Sidney said.

"No, Mr. Sidney, do you believe that a movie can destroy their monopoly? Do you think people around the world now believe in the ideological output of the BBC, CNN, the Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, etc., or do they believe in the ideological output of our own sources?

I don't think there is anything to worry about, but it can cover their purpose and let the world see their 'inclusive' side. He Fang waved his hand.

"......," Sidney stared meaningfully at He Fang for a long time, then nodded with a smile, "You are a very smart and powerful person. If you're an American, and you're white, I think you can go to the election. ”

"Haha...... Awards, awards, I'm not interested in these things, I'm only interested in making movies now. It's just that I hope that no matter what movie I make, it won't cause misunderstanding among others, because a movie is just a movie, and it can't ruin someone's plans and business. ”

He Fang smiled and smoked a cigarette.

"Okay, so let's talk about the movie Jurassic World." Sidney said.

"Okay, I'm here to make this movie."

……

He Fang had long known that his conversation with Sidney was impossible to keep secret, but he was surprised that his conversation with Sidney could spread so quickly, proving that he was really under the surveillance of others at all times.

How did he know that his conversation with Sidney was quickly made known to outsiders? Because half an hour after he returned to his residence after meeting with Sidney, he received a call from Guyan.

On the phone, Gu Yang praised He Fang's analysis and understanding of Western capitalism, which is far higher than that of ordinary scholars in philosophy or economics, standing higher and farther.

He Fang was surprised why Gu Yang knew about his conversation with Sidney so quickly, and Gu Yang only said one sentence.

"If you think about it, you understand."

After saying this, Gu Yang hung up the phone, and after He Fang sat down and smoked a cigarette, he finally understood.

Why did Gu Yang call him? It was nothing more than telling him three pieces of information.

First, he was very satisfied with his words. The second is, where are you being watched by others? Third, rest assured, even if others are watching you, we will always keep an eye on you and will not put you in danger.

It really feels like he's playing spy warfare, he's just a director, do you want to do this?

Forget it, put aside these thoughts, as long as he focuses on making movies, I believe that no one will embarrass him so much.

……

The main thing is to further confirm the preparatory work and communicate with each other on the creation.

At least for the rest, He Fang didn't have the heart to interfere. He was very 'honest' and didn't criticize the actors, nor did he make drastic changes to the script, so he was honestly a director.

IPs like "Jurassic World" can be used by any director, just to see who shoots more finely and whose fame is more likely to bring more box office.

Coincidentally, the female lead of "Jurassic World" is one of the female leads of He Fang's first special effects blockbuster "Pacific Rim", which is Bryce Dallas Howard, who used to be the one who oppressed He Fang.

Therefore, after Bryce knew where he was coming, he wanted to make an appointment to see if he had any ideas to continue the athletic collaborative relationship, and for them, Oriental men like He Fang were also another taste.

When Yu Se was getting late, He Fang received a call from this beauty.

It's a pity that Bryce Dallas Howard is a little old, and He Fang has no interest in it, and the reason why he has exercised with her before is purely due to some specific circumstances at that time, otherwise he would not have done that.

In the evening, He Fang attended a welcome reception hosted by Universal for him.

At the reception, he made a small complaint to the producer.

This is an 'unspoken rule', which means that the director can't be like an obedient echo worm, which will make the producer think that you are trying to mix the salary, so you must properly show the 'conflict' between you and the producer to prove that you are working hard for the film.

The producer of "Jurassic World" is Spielberg, after all, this is his IP, so how the movie is made, basically Spielberg has a lot of say. Of course, Universal also asked him at the beginning if he could accept this configuration, and He Fang not only did not shirk it, but liked it very much.

He said that he hopes to study and learn from the world's top directors, so He Fangcai has been careless, I believe that this movie will not be bad, with Spielberg in control, what else do you have to do?

As for who's complaining, what's the matter?

He said to Spielberg, "Mr. Steven, the actor you chose...... Uh, how to say it. The audience of this movie may be a little more young, you choose two little handsome guys, but a little beauty is missing. ”

"Well, we talked about it when we were writing the script, and obviously you saw that as well. However, with Blass here, it should be no problem to be sexy and good-looking. Spielberg said.

"Of course it's fine, but the younger male audience will probably just complain."

"Haha, I believe that when the time comes, they will transfer the attraction of dinosaurs, men, with the stimulation of hot-blooded violence, the desire for beauty will decrease, although this will be a pity, but it will not affect too much."

"Well, I've learned, I'm still too concerned with the balance of business elements." After making appropriate comments, He Fang immediately accepted it.

"Hehe, he, you're right. It's just that we always have to make trade-offs when balancing the script, the protagonist of the movie is the dinosaur, we can't divert too much attention from the dinosaur, and beauty is the biggest opponent to divert attention. Therefore, there are no particularly young female characters arranged. Spielberg smirked, he is also a director, and when he hears what he says, he knows that people don't understand.

Everyone is just creating topics for the sake of finding topics, so don't you really understand?

If he really wants to raise a question, that is, he and Spielberg slapped the table to discuss the differences in creative concepts, and for such a big-name international director, so far he has asked such a painless question, even a fool understands what it means.

The meaning of He Fang is very clear, I am here for business cooperation. This commercial cooperation does not refer to who wants to earn the director's fee, but who lends his director's fame and box office appeal to Universal. And what is needed is the support of the world on a global scale, not any actual support, at least a non-starter support.

In this way, He Fang talked about various seemingly creative topics with the crew and the people of Universal Company, but in fact, he didn't get anything practical.

Even, he asked Spielberg's crew if they had done a storyboard, but he was too busy to do it.

Spielberg was very sensible and said that he could let someone do it for him, and this was the tacit understanding between the two of them, and what he meant was that you all arranged it, and even prepared the storyboard script for me, and then I sat in front of the monitor and did everything you wanted to do a little bit about the quality of the shot.

Spielberg was also very happy, he was afraid that he would have a creative heart, and then there would be a huge conflict with his concept, and then the film would be made different, which was not in the interests of Universal and his personal interests.

I didn't expect He Fang to be on the road like this, so I was completely relieved.

"He, hello, nice to meet you."

When everyone was chatting at the reception, some actresses saw the eyes of some bigwigs and began to intervene in the chat.

At this time, it also means that men can concentrate on hooking women without talking about things.

So, a female star ran over to say hello to Hefang.

He Fang looked at this woman who greeted her, she didn't know her, she looked very tender, she was not very old, she should not be twenty years old.

Gray-brown pupils, good face, slightly curly long hair, and a blue close-fitting long skirt show the figure unevenly, and it is top at first glance.

"Hello, beautiful girl." He Fang held up his glass and touched it with her.

"Hey, okay, me, my name is Catherine Langford and I'm from Australia." Katherine Langford introduced herself.

"Huh? Nice to meet you...... I don't remember seeing you in any movie. He Fang hadn't heard of her, and of course, he hadn't heard of this actor in another time and space.

There are so many beautiful and powerful actresses who come to Hollywood, maybe in another time and space, she is not so good.

He Fang didn't continue to dig deeper, and he didn't want to know how she got into this kind of drinking party.

This is all a unique job of the company, and they will arrange some young actors who have not yet debuted to participate in some drinking party activities, in order to let them go out and get to know people.

In a Hollywood party, it is normal to put a group of young actors and models in the party.

"I haven't officially debuted yet, I ......" Katherine Langford was thinking about how to find a topic with whom, and where interrupted her.

"Ha, what do you have to say to me?"

"Well, yes, yes."

"Okay, let's find a place to talk?" There is no need to pretend somewhere in the United States, everyone is playing blindly, this is reasonable and legal, so play.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean." Katherine Langford is happy, and although she knows what the consequences are, isn't that exactly what she wants?

An actress who has not debuted, if a top director is willing to communicate with you in depth, it means that you will take off, and such an opportunity will definitely be seized.
