China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 295 Write a Policy Theory?

Many people rushed to He Fang's Toutiao account to criticize him, saying that he was guiding public opinion by liking such a speech, and disrespecting the dead...

Of course, there are also some supportive ones.Some people say that they don't understand why the Chinese are mourning the death of an American capitalist. Now that his biographical film is released, it turns out that it is only the mourning of the media and business elites.

He Fang then posted on Wei Toutiao: ""Left Ear" will be released soon, watching domestic movies will resonate more."

Seeing that what He Fang posted was not an explanation of why he liked other people's Weibo Toutiao, and then it became too popular, so a large amount of traffic flowed from Weibo to Toutiao... ready to fight under He Fang's account.

It works well, yes, it works as well as a movie promotion.

This is the reason why He Fang suddenly wanted to participate in this topic, just to attract attention to the headlines and promote the movie.

As for the noise in the comment section?Isn't this what ByteDance wants to see?

Draining, without a big star making trouble, how can it attract people?And this trouble can't be too ruthless, after all, no one would risk their own reputation not to drain people, right?
Therefore, appropriate disturbance is very important.

However, appropriate disturbances are not topical.

So the troublemaker must be a big star. It would be best if he is an international star...

Therefore, who is the most suitable candidate, the key is that he is still a shareholder of ByteDance, and it is in his interest to do it.

This is the source of this small incident.

Although many "elites" in the technology world are very dissatisfied with He Fang's behavior, and some people are overtly and secretly insinuating that "actors know what technology is", although He Fang did not accept the move, there are still many fans fighting.

Some people even ridiculed, "In the eyes of some people, technology is worshiping others as their father. They don't have their own core technology and can only assemble it. But other people's technology has half a dime relationship with you? If you have the ability, you can also create a technology." , The counterattack is also very sharp.

On September 9, "Di Renjie: The God of the Dragon King" was released, and "Jobs" was released for two consecutive days.

As a result, "Jobs" only won 214 million box office, and it has completely hit the street.

And "Di Renjie: The God of Dragon King" scored 5524 million on the first day, which is quite a good result.

On September 9, "Left Ear" was released, and the box office on the first day was 29 million, which was only 5514 lower than the first day of "Di Renjie: The Dragon King", which was 10 million in the next day's box office. 3756 million higher.

Then it is obvious that the two-power structure of this National Day file has emerged, and other movies are cannon fodder and foil.

What about "Steve Jobs", huh, Chinese audiences don't buy it.

Not only did Chinese audiences not buy it, but American audiences didn't buy it either. The film only grossed US$8 million when it was released in North America on August 16.

None of the elites in the technology industry who cried loudly because of Jobs' death back then reserved a venue to support their idols, really... oh, elites...

The National Day file is in full swing, and the filming of "Operation Mekong" is also in full swing. The filming of this scene is really hard.

I thought it was a refreshing autumn, but it turned out that it was an autumn tiger on the southwestern border, and the crew had to drill into the barren mountains and mountains every day.Not to mention anything else, the makeup team in the crew is the busiest, because the actor's makeup can only support one shot, and then it is ruined by sweat, and sometimes it can't even support one shot, and sometimes they will yell because of the makeup.

It's hot and humid, so people sweat a lot, there's nothing they can do.

In addition to this point, another point is that people are prone to tanning. Anyway, many people in the crew have tanned, and they are almost becoming locals.

If Pan Zhilin didn't slather on sunscreen every day and wear long clothes and trousers, she would probably have become a little black girl.

Women have to wrap their whole body in this place, especially those who spend a long time outdoors, they must wrap up, otherwise they will be dark and dark.

"Director, are you ready, do you want to start?" Zhang Mo, who was wrapped up and wearing a scarf, walked to the monitor and interrupted He Fang who was reading the script.

"Huh? Is it okay? Come on then. Try to have sex once, Brother Le, the action actors must be protected, and don't get hurt again." He Fang shouted holding the walkie-talkie.

"No problem, Director."

"Okay, then the various departments pay attention, record the game, and play the board."

"The 30th scene of "Operation Mekong", the 25rd time of 3 shots..."

At this time, He Fang put on the earphones, and stared at the nearly fifty-inch large screen in front of him, on which five picture-in-picture images were cut out, which were the perspectives of five cameras.

This shootout scene must have multiple cameras and multiple angles...

It's really hard to shoot this kind of scene of fighting in the wild. It hurt a few Hong Kong action actors who have always been able to endure hardships, especially these groups of "Nuoka Sandi drug production and drug hiding dens, which were taken by Thailand, the old The police from the three countries of Burma and Burma raided, arrested several people, killed several people in exchange of fire, and seized countless methamphetamines, which was quite difficult to film.

This set of scenes has to be filmed in three locations, not to mention, there are also scenes of fierce battles between policemen in different uniforms and various drug dealers. It is difficult to shoot, especially in the field shootouts, blasting, the use of cool shots, and the scheduling of personnel. , You have to make these scenes look good, you can't just be a group of people rushing up and then say 'don't move' and it's over?That's the plot of a TV series, and it definitely won't work with He Fang, an international director.

It is necessary to show off the lens, not to mention the need to use a one-shot sports lens, but it is necessary to capture the fierceness of the battlefield.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Roar……"

"Tattoo..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

There was a burst of excitement in the mountains, and then the sound faded away. He Fang took the walkie-talkie and yelled "click". Following the director's "click", the on-site staff got busy, especially the props team and service team. Immediately touch up the makeup to clean up the props, in case the director has to take a fourth take...

Of course, all the cameras of the photography team should be reset, returned to their original positions, and ready for reshoots at any time.The executive director directed everyone to reset, and specially called a group of field managers to clean up the scene...

Anyway, the scene is very busy, but what is He Fang doing?Watching the playback shot by shot while wearing headphones, did it meet expectations.

"Okay, let's do it again, scene notes, remember, keep the second, third, and fifth shots. That Mr. Du, when he pushes the shot for the drug criminal who rushed out, push it a little faster to have a little impact. Let the audience think that the drug dealer rushed to the audience.

Zhang Mo, tell this actor about the scene, the focus is on the crazy eyes, and the twisted expression, a person who just finished taking drugs and is at the craziest and most fearless stage of death..."

After reading it, He Fang picked up the walkie-talkie to guide there, and the scene became even more busy.

The scene notes are being recorded with a pen and paper. The director said that these shots can be used as spares. After the scene notes are marked, the later editing will use these shots as backup shots.

When everyone was busy, He Fang had just ordered to light a cigarette when his cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Gu Yang's call. He hadn't received his call for a long time, so he immediately got up and walked to a quieter corner.

"Hey, Minister Gu, what instructions do you have?"

"He Fang, are you busy?" Gu Yang asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm filming, and I just finished shooting a scene. It's okay, don't delay."

"Well, then I'll make a long story short."

"You ordered..."

"Why is your tone so off-putting? Don't play tricks here."

"Hey, no, I must look like a junior."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. You draft a proposal for cooperation with other countries' film and television culture, and it should be a little more formal." Gu Yang said on the phone.

"Oh? May I ask what this is for? I know it well." He Fang asked.

"Well, it is our recent global economic cooperation framework. In this framework, the part of cultural cooperation needs some suggestions from people in the industry." Gu Yang said very vaguely, but He Fang understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

"Minister Gu, is this urgent?" He Fang asked.

"Can it be done in a week?"

"One week? That's no problem, I can make it in three days." He Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Three days? All right, there must be quality and bright spots. The above means that there must be innovation, and we can't just cross the river by feeling the West. When the experience of the West is gone, we must have our own things." Gu Young said.

"Don't worry, this won't trouble me." He Fang assured.

"Since you said that, then I'm relieved. All right, then you go on filming, come back to the capital next time, come and sit with me."

"Okay, I'll see you next time."

……

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and returned to the monitor, where everyone was waiting for him.

"Ready, right? Then come on, finish work early and call it a day. Come on, all departments are ready..."

……

After two more shots, the scene was finished, and then the scene was turned immediately... After finishing the day's filming tasks, when I returned to the crew hotel, all the staff members who were exhausted to death seemed to come back to life. Yes, they all made appointments to engage in activities...

Everyone knows the Borderlands.

However, you can’t do all kinds of activities. It’s no problem to go to the barbecue stand by the Lancang River to drink, drink and eat barbecue.

But He Fang stopped drinking and playing cards with Wu Jing and the others after the meal. He went back to the room and turned on the computer to start writing policy theory, which felt like an ancient scientific research.

But He Fang didn't rush to write first, he first made a cup of coffee, lit a cigarette, smoked, and thought for a while while drinking coffee.

It is required not to cross the river by feeling the stones of the West, but to be innovative...

It means that you can't learn from the terms of the WTO and use the expression of compulsory opening of the film market, which will make others resist and criticize.

After He Fang thought for a long time, he began to write, delete, and delete on the computer, first listing the framework.

For example, cooperation with others will involve not only film and television production, but also cinema construction, online ticketing system, and online broadcast platform. Simply forcing others to open the market to sell products will not last long, because People cannot benefit.

So He Fang came up with a new concept, which is to express the new cooperation with "Thirty Items of Cultural Exchange" and "Mutual Assistance in Cultural Infrastructure".

The "Thirty Items of Cultural Exchange" is to open an equal number of excellent films, TV works and other works year by year, and carry out communication and communication on the largest TV, cinema, and website of the other party, and ensure the amount of communication within a certain period of time.Through the liberalization year by year, it finally reached the level of mutual release of [-] movies and [-] TV dramas every year.

Now that China's film and television market has been opened to the United States and the West, are you afraid of opening it to other countries and regions?As long as it meets the review, let it go.In fact, it is not a bad thing for Chinese audiences to see more foreign works of different cultures, so that Chinese audiences will have a larger structure and a more open mind.

Just like the United States, they see movies from all over the world every year, but has anyone's movie really affected the status of Hollywood?No.

Of course, this is based on the strength of their country, and they have national self-confidence.Plus, their censorship will block a movie that doesn't serve their core values.

And "mutual assistance in cultural infrastructure" means that the two parties give full play to their respective infrastructure advantages and help each other build cultural-related infrastructure.For example, first-class TV stations, first-class film and television production bases, first-class cinemas, first-class websites, first-class online ticketing systems and so on.

Of course, these are just the framework of ideas, not He Fang's final real ideas, so let's list them first.

Anyway, his idea is to reflect one of our principles, that is mutual benefit, you have me, and I have you.

As many movies and TV shows as you show me, I will show you as many movies and TV shows as you want, and guarantee the platform for each other.How big is our market, with a market of 14 billion people, once we guarantee the amount of transmission within the specified time, what a huge benefit it will be.

Is this a good thing for the other party?
What if you don't have the relevant cultural infrastructure?It doesn't matter, we can help you build it, help you build TV stations, movie theaters, websites, etc., and then teach you how to operate it.

Is that in your favor?
What about some well-developed countries and regions?What if they have a certain cultural infrastructure?You can exchange and learn from each other, or we can help you upgrade and renovate.

Anyway, the biggest difference with the West is that the West forces others to open up the market to let their film and television products enter, while He Fang’s idea is that opening up the market to each other is only the first step, and the real second step is to establish a culture based on Chinese standards. Infrastructure, this is the core of exchanging the market for development.

What is the core meaning of this?The meaning is that before you know it, you have to use Chinese standards, and you will use Chinese software and hardware in the future, and even your management will train people with Chinese-style thinking... In the end, your invisible and intangible will be subtly affected The place was assimilated.

We can release our 14 billion market to you. It doesn't matter at all. When you make a profit, will you try your best to make some works that meet the tastes of Chinese audiences?Are your production staff trying to learn Chinese culture and thought?

Not all movies from all countries are like Hollywood. Chinese audiences follow Hollywood movies, but movies from other countries cater to Chinese audiences.

This kind of cooperation in the early stage is to let other countries come to China to make profits, and China will help you build the infrastructure for making products that can make profits in China. Who can refuse?
Just like your family grows corn, now we not only harvest your corn, but I also help you build fertilizer plants, pesticide plants, agricultural machinery plants and other infrastructure to improve the yield and quality of corn.

Can you say no?
Anyway, this is the general idea, and the specific details and expressions still need repeated deliberation and polishing.

This is a real unequal competition. I just assimilated you with a huge volume in a disadvantageous way.It’s like how China has assimilated the surrounding foreign races for thousands of years. I attract your culture, and I also buy your products. Then, in order to sell more products to China, all of you learn Chinese culture, and finally you slowly Sinicize. up.

There is no way, the sizes are not equal, which will cause such consequences.

Just like, no matter how delicious your Korean cuisine is, can it compare to the eight major Chinese cuisines with tens of thousands of dishes?As long as you open up to each other, can you Koreans withstand the impact of eight major dishes and tens of thousands of dishes?It won't be long before your order of kimchi is considered a side dish by yourselves.
