China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 365 A new actress’s anticipated communication

Of course, He Fang didn’t think that what he said to Universal CEO Sidney Sheinberg could break the relationship between some domestic American scoundrels and Americans. History told him that once those people recognized their masters in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, their masters No matter how much they were beaten or scolded, they were as obedient as dogs, and there was no use in provoking a relationship.

He just said this to make those people disgusted. It was really pitiful and ridiculous that they would curse and curse in front of Americans.

"Mr. Sidney, this is someone deliberately trying to sow discord between me and Hollywood. I know that some people don't want me to achieve better results, because this is not conducive to Hollywood's win in the Chinese market. So, they want you to take action against me.

But, Mr. Sidney, there are people who appear to be loyal but 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 are the big guys in Hollywood. "

He Fang said very timid words, but his demeanor was not timid.

Sidney is certainly not a fool, "Hey, no one wants to suppress you, at least Universal has no such plan. Of course you may hear different voices in the United States, but you should understand that this is our political ecology, and there are people who support it." There must be some objections.

Therefore, although some of us cooperate with you, there are also some who oppose cooperation with you.But that doesn't matter, does it?Well, as an adult we all know that some things are just that, we live in a world full of contradictions.

I believe these will not affect you in making some correct decisions. In fact, as a person, I don’t care whether your work is big or not, and I don’t care whether the movies you make are a threat to Hollywood.

Because the world is diverse, some people need to watch Hollywood, but some people need to watch Chinese movies.But for American politicians and capitalists, the rise of Chinese films is more serious than commercial losses. Do you know why? "

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

Why is this happening?He Fang thought about it for a moment, and there were only two points.

First, he is not in the same group as those people.

Second, this is the enemy's self-confidence. So what if you know the truth?Knowing this will only make you surrender faster.

Are there not many people who know these people?Too much, but so what?Some people who don't know will still resist, but those who know will surrender more quickly.

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 some research on systems and philosophy."

"Oh? Tell me." Sidney said unexpectedly.

“For countries like the United States, where capitalism has reached its peak, ordinary corporate profits or ordinary monopoly businesses have little appeal to them. They have so much money that they control the global economy and income.

Therefore, money and power are just numbers and games to them.But they were afraid. They were afraid of two things. The first was death, and the second was losing the secret means of making wealth.

Not to mention death, they are already trying every means to delay death.Regarding the second thing, how about not losing the secret means of making wealth?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 means of monopolizing wealth that continuously gives away money is the monopoly of ideology. Using ideology, they can harvest the wealth of the world 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 becomes mainstream, he can still make a lot of money using this ideology.Another example is that the output of the ideology "guns are the sacrosanct right of citizens" can allow military industrial companies to make money in the long term... There are many such examples.

Monopolizing the right to spread ideology is a life-or-death switch for them to earn wealth, so they will never allow the second kind of spread that goes against their ideology to appear.Maybe, maybe this is why someone wants to suppress me? "

After He Fang finished speaking, he looked at the surprised Sidney with a smile. It was obvious that Sidney thought what He Fang said was right.

"Then do you think you are ready to confront them? They have the greatest wealth and power in the world, and they will fight tooth and nail to destroy their monopoly on ideological dissemination," 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 ideologies of the media such as BBC, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters, and AFP? Export, or do you believe in my ideological output?
I think this is nothing to worry about. Instead, it can cover up their purpose and let the world see their 'tolerant' side. "He Fang waved his hand.

"..." Sidney stared at He Fang meaningfully for a long time, then nodded with a smile, "You are a very smart and powerful person. If you are an American and a white man, I think it is okay. Went to participate in the general election.”

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

He Fang smiled and held a cigarette in his mouth.

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

"Okay, I came here to shoot this movie."

……

He Fang had known for a long time that his conversation with Sidney could not be kept secret, but he was surprised that his conversation with Sidney could spread so quickly, which proved that he was really being monitored by others at all times. under.

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

On the phone, Gu Yang praised He Fang's analysis and understanding of Western capitalism, which is much higher than that of ordinary scholars studying philosophy or economics. He stands higher and further.

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

"You'll understand if you think about it carefully."

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

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

First, he was very satisfied with what he said.Second, you are being monitored by others.Third, don't worry, even if others are watching you, we are always watching you and will not put you in danger.

It really feels like playing a spy war. He is a director. Do you want this?

Forget it, put aside these thoughts, as long as he concentrates on making movies, I believe no one will make things difficult for him.

……

Where to come, mainly to further confirm the preparation work and communicate on creation.

At least other things, He Fang has no intention to interfere.He was very 'honest' and didn't point fingers at the actors, nor did he make drastic changes in the script. He just acted as a director honestly. An IP like "Jurassic World" can be used by any director. It just depends on who shoots it more carefully and who is more famous and how much box office it can bring.

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

Therefore, after Bryce knew He Fang came over, she wanted to date He Fang to see if He Fang had any ideas to continue the sports cooperative relationship. For them, an oriental man like He Fang was also another taste.

When it was getting late, He Fang received a call from this beautiful woman.

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

That evening, He Fang attended the welcome reception hosted by Universal.

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

This is an 'unspoken rule', which means that as a director, you cannot act like an obedient yes-man, as this will make the producer think that you are just trying to get paid, so you must appropriately show the 'conflict' between you and the producer to prove it. You're putting your heart into it for the sake of the movie.

The producer of "Jurassic World" is Spielberg. After all, this is his IP, so Spielberg basically has a big say in how the movie is shot.Of course, Universal asked him if he could accept this configuration. He Fang not only didn't shirk it, but actually liked it very much.

He said that he hoped to study under the world's top directors, so He Fangcai had been taking care of things. He believed that the film would not be bad. With Spielberg in charge, what else would he have to do?

As for what He Fang is complaining about?

This is what he said to Spielberg, "Mr. Steven, the actors you chose...well, how should I put it? The audience for this movie may be more young people. You chose two handsome guys, but Missing a little beauty.”

"Hmm, we discussed this when we were writing the script. Obviously you have also seen this problem. However, with Blass here, it should be no problem to take on the role of sexy appearance." Spielberg said.

"Of course there is no problem, but young male viewers may just complain."

"Haha, I believe they will shift their attraction to dinosaurs when the time comes. Men, with the stimulation of passionate violence, the desire for beauty will decrease. Although this will be a pity, it will not have a big impact. "

"Okay, I learned that I still care too much about the balance of business elements." After giving appropriate suggestions, He Fang immediately accepted it.

"Haha, He, your thinking is right. It's just that we always have to make choices 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 of diverting attention. . Therefore, there are no particularly young female characters assigned." Spielberg faked a smile. He is also a director, and when he heard what He Fang said, he knew that he didn't understand.

Everyone is just creating topics for the sake of finding topics. Do you really think that everyone doesn’t understand?
He Fang really wanted to raise a question, that is, he and Spielberg were banging the table to discuss the differences in creative concepts. But for such a big-name international director, he has only raised such an innocuous question so far, even if it is Even a fool understands what it means.

He Fang's meaning is very clear, I am here for business cooperation.This commercial cooperation does not mean that the director wants to earn the director's fee, but that the director lends his fame and box office appeal to Universal.What Ho Fang needs is Universal's support for Ho Fang on a global scale. Let alone actual support, it must at least be non-stop support.

In this way, He Fang talked with the crew and people from Universal about various seemingly creative topics, but in fact he didn't talk about anything real.

He even asked Spielberg if the crew had done a storyboard, but he was too busy to do it in time.

Spielberg very wisely said that he could have someone do it for him. This is the tacit understanding between the two. He Fang means that you have arranged everything, and even the storyboard scripts have been prepared for me. When the time comes, I will sit in front of the monitor. Just give the quality of the shot a little attention for all your purposes.

Spielberg is also very happy. He was afraid of where he started to create, but then there was a huge conflict with his ideas, which led to the film being shot differently. This 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.

"Hello, He, nice to meet you."

When everyone was chatting at the cocktail party, some actresses saw the looks in the eyes of some big shots and started to intervene in the chat.

This time also means that men can stop talking and focus on seducing women.

So, a female star came over to say hello to He Fang.

He Fang glanced at the woman who greeted her. He didn't recognize her. She looked young and young. She shouldn't be 20 years old.

She has taupe pupils, a pretty face, slightly curly long hair, and a blue close-fitting dress that shows off her curvy figure. She looks top-notch at first glance.

"Hello, beautiful girl." He Fang raised his glass and clinked it with her.

"Hey, okay, I, my name is Katherine Langford, from Australia." Katherine Langford introduced herself.

"Hmm? Nice to meet you... I don't remember which movie I saw you in." He Fang had never heard of her. Of course, he had never heard of this actor in another time and space.

There are so many beautiful and capable actresses who have come to Hollywood. Maybe in another time and space, she would not have done so well.

He Fang did not continue to delve deeper, nor did he want to know how she came into this drinking place.

This is a unique skill of the agency. They will arrange for some young actors who have not debuted to participate in some cocktail parties in order to let them go out and make connections.

In Hollywood parties, it is very normal for the party to bring in a group of young actors and models.

"I haven't officially debuted yet, I..." Katherine Langford was thinking about how to find a topic with He Fang, when He Fang interrupted her.

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

"Well, yes, yes."

"Okay, let's find a place to have a good chat?" In the United States, there is no need to pretend. Everyone is just having fun. This is reasonable and legal, so let's just have fun.

"Okay, that's what I meant." Katherine Langford was very happy. Although she knew what the consequences would be, wasn't this kind of consequence exactly what she wanted?
As an undebuted actress, if a top director is willing to communicate with you in depth, it means that you will take off, and you will definitely seize such an opportunity.
