"Director He, how can I scold you, you are really doing this for the good of Hong Kong movies, we can see it. Indeed, as you said, we have given us money, technology, and the market, and we do have problems, and Hong Kong filmmakers are a little selfish and do not think about the follow-up development. Rest assured, we at Emperor want to change, as the director said, and think about the future development of Hong Kong films. ”

Yang Shoucheng was the first to respond.

"Director He said well, Director He, can you give me some more advice? What do you think Hong Kong films should focus on? Everyone was a little messy when they were working on the script. Xiang Huaqiang said.

"Give full play to the advantages of Hong Kong films in the past, mainly focusing on action films, police and gangster films, science fiction films, and magic films in traditional costumes, these aspects to concentrate on development, especially action movies and police and gangster films, which are genres that are not good to shoot and not easy to pass the review in the mainland, which is precisely your advantage.

These two types of films are still very popular, and they can make the story a little bolder, not necessarily limited to Hong Kong, but anywhere in the world except Chinese mainland. He Fang suggested.

"What about the actors?" Sammo Hung asked.

"Hong Kong's previous effective actor training methods have been dispersed, and Hong Kong's actor training in the past relied on TVB performing arts classes and folk theater classes. However, these two forms are too dependent on the prosperity of the market, the market is good, and there are many people who go to these two places to learn, and if the market is not good, then who will learn? Because there is no job market after studying, then there is no point.

Therefore, there are two popular ways to train cast and crew, one is the college training type, and the other is the trainee system. This is the mainstream model in the world, whether it is Hollywood, Europe, or the mainland. The trainee system is more popular in Japan and South Korea, because their purpose is more pure, so the training of daring star artists is more direct.

The training mode of colleges and universities is more systematic and comprehensive, and the artistic quality of the stars that come out is higher. But there are also shortcomings, that is, the technology is not specialized and refined enough, which requires artists to continue their further study and persistence after graduating from college.

Moreover, the students trained by colleges and universities need more receiving institutions to accept, such as local theater troupes, cultural institutions, etc., without these receiving institutions, it will be wasted for colleges and universities to train so many people every year.

Hong Kong has to consider this, if it is cultivated every year, will there be enough receiving institutions to accept students? If students do not have a good job after graduation, this will not last long.

And the trainee system, needless to say, has obvious shortcomings and obvious advantages. I think if you want to avoid the shortcomings of the trainee system, you can take the lead in organizing training for trainees, and you can take the lead in organizing training for trainees, and you can control the number of personnel appropriately.

For example, fifteen-year-old children enter the association's practice classes for training, and are assessed every year, and the last assessment can be the main role of the annual drama given by each company.

After passing the assessment, these artists can freely sign contracts with various film and television companies, but they have to pay a transfer fee. As in the football industry, players are transferred to a transfer fee, and training institutions are given a training fee. The film and television companies bid freely and grab.

Of course, these are just some of my personal ideas that are not very mature, you can refer to them. If we don't train new talents, Hong Kong movies will really die out if we continue like this, which is not what our mainland decision-makers want to see. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, he shook the red wine glass, and then drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and then the waiter immediately ran over and poured it.

……

He Fang didn't talk to a few bigwigs in Hong Kong for a long time that night, because they were still going to Singapore, in short, they made some useful suggestions, and then withdrew.

"Director He, I heard that you also gave advice to Hong Kong movies a few years ago, but it doesn't seem to be useful. They only have a few companies that can make money in the mainland, and they don't care about the rest. For example, Donnie Yen can make money, so they desperately use Donnie Yen to film. For example, Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, and Zhang Jiahui, as long as a few of them can have some appeal in the mainland, they use these few. Hong Kong filmmakers are very short-sighted and only care about their immediate interests. ”

On the plane to Singapore, Li Xue saw that it was rare to talk to He Fang about these important events.

"I know, they've been scrapped and rotten, it's useless, and Hong Kong movies will definitely die. I said this to them, because I was afraid that one day, some white-eyed wolves would say, 'Our Hong Kong films have died out because of the handover, and because your mainland does not give us room for development.'"

Now we have done everything we need to do, and we have said everything we need to say. This is the evidence, it's not that we didn't help them, but the people of Hong Kong are really rotten, and sooner or later they will rot in that kind of pride of being colonized. If you can't ask for it, at least these two generations can't be saved, let's wait for the Hong Kong people after the 00s.

Of course, if they really listened to it and turned Hong Kong movies around, then it's okay to say. It's a pity, it's difficult. ”

He Fang raised the cigarette in his hand, spit out the cigarette as he spoke, and then shook his head helplessly.

The creators of "Alita: Battle Angel" fell into contemplation, or sadness, after listening to He Fang's words, thinking about how Hong Kong movies were once the spiritual food of childhood, and how many classic Hong Kong movies accompanied everyone to spend their childhood time.

According to what he said, all this will eventually be lost in time, and it will never come back. This invisibly makes everyone have a sad mood spreading, as if they are saying goodbye to youth.

But this sadness lasted only a few dozen minutes, and with the sound of snoring, everything disappeared. Just like with He Fang's departure, those who patted their chests and said that they wanted to change the Hong Kong film environment also forgot He Fang's words.

It's their business, they have money to make, meat to eat, wine to drink, and girls to play.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you have to have a good skin together, and the tender model will go.

And with the arrival of twelve o'clock, the domestic box office data for the next day is also released.

303.01 million, or 303 million, is okay data. The data growth on the first day of the Lunar New Year is average, mainly because mutual New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year are the main actions of this day, so the scale of entering the movie has not yet formed, and it can only be young people dating as the main force.

That night, they went to Singapore, which was the last stop of the Asian propaganda, and after the propaganda was over, He Fang and Pan Zhilin would go to North America and Europe to promote it. While others returned to China for seven days of propaganda and traveled to seven cities.

Why separate? Because the cost of publicity in Europe and the United States is too high, there is no need to go to too many people. Moreover, there are not many fans in Europe and the United States who know other actors, and fans who go to other people's movies have no sense of identity, but they can't recognize them.

Of course, if you say a thousand things and ten thousand, you are still reluctant to spend money, and you don't regard the European and American markets as the main publicity market for "Alita", not because of the Oscars, it is estimated that you will not do offline publicity in Europe and the United States.

On the evening of February 20, He Fang and Pan Zhilin flew to the United States on a private jet, while the other creators flew back to Shenzhen the next day after a night of rest in Singapore......

After about 15 hours of flying from the night of the 20th in the Eastern Hemisphere to the night of the 20th in the Western Hemisphere, they arrived in Los Angeles.

They really had enough rest, but fortunately there was entertainment on the plane, they could watch movies and smoke.

Du Chunsheng went to the airport to pick them up, and two cars came, and Du Chunsheng came up to greet the New Year.

"Boss, give you New Year's greetings, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope." Du Chunsheng said with a smile.

"Hey, this is as it should be, come, your red envelope is ready." He Fang said and took out a red envelope from his body, a thin one.

"Really?" Du Chunsheng was very excited, and then he hurriedly opened it, it was a check, with one written on it and five zeros written on it.

"Wow, so much? Thank you boss, I wish the boss a great fortune in the New Year, good luck, a good career, a happy love, and a happy family......"

"Alright, alright, get in the car." He Fang interrupted Du Chunsheng's blessing.

Then the group took advantage of the night to drive to a villa in Beverly Hills, which was the office of Tuanhuo Culture and the residence of He Fang.

"Is tomorrow's publicity all arranged?" He asked Du Chunsheng in the car.

"Don't worry, boss, two cinema events, one mall event, one media event."

"Okay, got it."

……

I couldn't sleep at night because I rested too much on the plane. But in order to be able to do propaganda during the day the next day, I have to sleep at night.

What to do? I had to tire myself out like a dog, so wouldn't I fall asleep?

As a result, the incident that the reporters had been trying to photograph Pan Zhilin's room at night happened, and both sides achieved their goal, and He Fang achieved the purpose of being tired and tired, and fell asleep deeply.

Pan Zhilin achieved the purpose of dredging and fell asleep satisfied.

What is the difference between advertising in the United States and advertising in China or Asia? In fact, there is no difference between Mao, the same process, and the same fan enthusiasm.

Of course, if you are unlucky, you may encounter some extreme discriminators shouting at the scene, although they will be cleared by the security guards, but it will affect the mood somewhat.

This is how Pan Zhilin felt when she did a day of publicity in Los Angeles, which is neither good nor bad.

After all, it's someone else's territory, and this place claims to be a place of freedom, but messy things happen. There are people from all over the world, from all cultures, and from all walks of life. So, it's hard to guarantee that nothing unexpected happens.

So almost all of their propaganda is carried out in the midst of protection, and I heard that the security insurance has spent a lot of money.

He Fang also shook his head, this is still at the beginning of 2015, if it is 2023, it is estimated that he will not dare to do public activities at all, so how much will it cost?

"Boss, how many events are there tonight, do you want to participate?" Du Chunsheng asked where he had just returned to the villa.

"What night is there no event in Hollywood? If you don't go, there will be more activities tomorrow night, so let's rest tonight. ”

On February 22, Los Angeles time, the 87th Academy Awards will be held, and it is the day that filmmakers and fans around the world are most concerned about.

When he came to the Beverly Hills Hotel, the crew of "Room" had already arrived.

Here's a little secret, many people want to ask: where do the stars who go to the Oscars walk the red carpet wear makeup and change their costumes? As you can tell here, there are generally three hotels, one is the Beverly Hills Hotel, one is the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel across the street from the Dolby Cinema, and the other is the Sunset Hotel off Sunset Boulevard.

Two of the most commonly used are the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, and the "Room" crew is located at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
