China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 376 Anne is very excited, but it’s not time yet

He couldn't sleep when he went back to sleep, but he just went back to pack his things. After packing his things, he rushed to the airport overnight, then got on the plane and flew to Hawaii.

It's going to be two weeks of shooting on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, and then it's off to New Orleans.After staying in a place like Hawaii for a long time, people will have a sense of anxiety, and they will think that they are out of touch with the world, as if they have come to the edge of the world, and they will have a fear of being abandoned at any time.

Of course, if you are here for vacation, there is no problem if you stay for ten days and a half.But people like He Fang and others who are used to being in the central continent of the world will feel psychological pressure if they stay here for 20 days and a month.

This is like an astronaut who goes to space. After staying in space for a long time, he will feel lonely and afraid of being abandoned by the world.

In order to resist this kind of loneliness and fear, some people will use other things to divert their attention and anesthetize themselves.

Such as alcohol, such as marijuana, such as sex...

Therefore, He Fang returned to the set and after taking a nap, he discovered something that he had not paid attention to before, and the set was very confused.In the past, he would also see some scenes in other crews, such as drinking, playing cards, and couples on the crew.

His crew in the United States was not allowed to smoke marijuana, but this time he found someone smoking marijuana when he came back.And the crew doesn't care about it, which is unthinkable.

So he went to Spielberg, who didn't want to see anyone smoking pot on his set.

In the computer room of the crew, he saw the almost 70-year-old director. He was wearing a pair of reading glasses and checking some material he had shot previously.

"Hey, Mr. Spielberg, I have something to tell you." He Fang walked up and greeted Spielberg.

"Oh, you're back? Tell me, what's the matter?" Spielberg picked up the cigar next to him and took a puff.

"When I first returned to the set, I smelled the stink of marijuana. When I was filming before, the most intolerable thing was someone smoking marijuana on the set." He Fang said that, needless to say, I believe Spielberg can clear.

He looked at He Fang and shook his head slightly and smiled. He didn't know whether He Fang was making a fuss or because He Fang was not keeping up with the times.

"Okay, I'm going to open these joints after I leave Hawaii." Spielberg said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Why after leaving Hawaii?" He Fang asked.

"Because we only have three days here. Besides, I can't find a replacement in Hawaii now that they're here. Just tolerate it for three days. By the way, I won't let them appear in front of you."

"..." He Fangchang took a breath, waved his hand, not knowing what to say, then nodded helplessly, turned around and left.

Looking at He Fang's leaving figure, Spielberg shook his head and made an incomprehensible expression, as if to say, "There are many Chinese dramas."

Fortunately, his time here was almost over, and he still hoped that He Fang would not find fault in this matter.He didn't want any apparent tension with He Fang to happen, which would affect the film's reputation.

He Fang endured the chaos in the crew and was even careful about eating and drinking, because people who smoke marijuana or even take drugs don't know if they have any disease. What if they are infected?
These people will do whatever they want when they get excited, and they don't pay attention to hygiene, which will breed some diseases. Then in the crew, everyone has more contact with each other, and some things will happen without knowing it.

When the crew finally evacuated from Hawaii, "Room" was officially released, and it will be released simultaneously worldwide on November 11.

Of course, we don’t have much money for publicity, so the promotion is not very good. There are only some press releases from various countries, and the film schedule is not very good.

However, the results on the first day were not bad, after all, there were two superstars, He Fang and Anne Hathaway.

Therefore, the box office in North America was US$721 million on the first day, the box office in mainland China was RMB 5609 million on the first day, and the box office in other regions around the world was also US$1512 million.

The key is that the IMDb score has reached 8.7 points, and the reviews on IMDb are almost overwhelmingly positive.

like what:
"A wonderful movie, but painful to watch"

"Imagine yourself as a 5-year-old child, discovering for the first time that there is a whole new world outside the room, the performance is amazing"

"A tragic film with incredible performances! 》

"The Beauty of Claustrophobia"

"Sensitive and Delicate Movie"

"Reunderstanding Annie's Acting Skills"

"How can he train actors so well"

……

All in all, the overall review was very good and everyone was very satisfied with the movie.

Another Rotten Tomatoes website has a popcorn rating of 91% and a tomato freshness rating of 93%. Film critics and reporters from all walks of life are not stingy with their praise.

"Filmmaker Magazine": Low-cost, closed-space movies test acting skills. The lack of a lot of external stimulation is a problem for such movies. Therefore, they rely on actors' performances and non-physical conflicts to complete the wonderful performance of the movie. This movie It feels like the performances of the two actors are on point, Anne meets expectations, and the young actor Jacob is unexpected.

"Deep Focus": This kind of rescue movie is like the black pepper on our table. Without it, the food will feel a little less flavorful, but with it, it feels like there can't be too much.This movie is just like "Life is Beautiful", giving people hope and happiness in extreme circumstances, but after all, it is a rare case. Tilted Magazine: Who said it would be almost difficult to help Annie win an Oscar?No, last year he said he would help Leonardo win an Oscar. At that time, everyone thought it was impossible.So, can it?At least in the movie "Room", Annie's performance was less flashy and showed her true nature. She didn't make people jump into the scene or feel that her acting was too artificial. Moreover, she could still make people feel the love of a mother. This is success.

Entertainment Weekly: The Room is more than just the title of one of the year's most powerful films—it's a state of mind that's unbearably tense and as claustrophobic as a straitjacket.

The Hollywood Reporter: Director He Fang seamlessly translates Donoghue's work into the audiovisual language of the film, which is a convincing adaptation.However, the film also owes as much to its two stars, Anne Hathaway and newcomer Jacob Tremblay, whose structured performances turn a shocking setting into a tense one and a surprisingly believable story of survival.

……

So, when the first day was over, Annie excitedly called He Fang.

"He, thank you. I saw the praise from the fans and the media. It's really hard. I thought they would hate me to the core. I didn't expect the long-awaited praise. I..." Annie choked up on the phone. Even incoherent.

"Hey, Annie, this is the result of your own efforts. Congratulations, you have finally conquered these picky media people and movie fans with your strength."

He Fang comforted her. In fact, Anne was under tremendous pressure. 2011 was a watershed year for her, because she hosted an Oscar awards show and acted too spotlight-stealing, and because she blocked the way of Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer wants to step on her to get the upper hand.

Therefore, when her movie "Les Misérables" was released, she started extreme discussions among the media and movie fans.

It has been two or three years, and although she is still smiling in the entertainment industry, she is under ever-present pressure.He Fang can feel it, because...she is full of emotions when combined.

"He, I want to thank you." Annie said excitedly.

"No, it's too early. Let's wait until you get the Oscar. Promote the movie well and publicize the various judges at the same time. This is an excellent opportunity for you. Don't miss it." He Fang encouraged her.

"Okay, I've written it down, don't worry. You also have a good time filming. I'm waiting for the day when this movie will give us a harvest."

"Ha, there will be. Good luck to you, beautiful girl."

"Thank you and good luck to you, strong man."

……

When the crew arrived in New Orleans, sure enough, He Fang didn't see those marijuana smokers again, which finally made him feel better.

He will work here for another 6 weeks, which is more than a month. Fortunately, he has been to New Orleans many times.

Every day for the next day, he lived in seclusion. After filming, he would lock himself in his room, write something, and then video chat with his two children. Watching the children grow up day by day, it was really fascinating.

I have not been married for two lifetimes, but I finally have a child. It seems that my life has been extended, and the sense of completion of my mission is very reassuring.

He was neither married nor had children in his previous life, so he always had the feeling that he had not completed his life's mission as a human being. In this life, his mission was finally completed.This is a feeling that people who have never given birth to children will not experience.

After entering December, the entertainment industry has become active again, whether it is domestic or Hollywood. After all, it is the end of the year, and it is a good time to harvest and settle accounts.

For example, in 2014, the domestic entertainment industry was dominated by the theme of poison and poison. Too many celebrities, artists, directors and screenwriters were involved in this stuff.The most famous thing in Hollywood is undoubtedly the Hollywood nude photos scandal.

Hackers exploited a vulnerability in Apple's iCloud disk system to illegally steal nude photos of many of the world's most popular actresses, and then posted them on online forums.

This Hollywood nude photo scandal involves a total of 101 stars, and 17 top stars including Jennifer Lawrence, McKayla Maroney, Yvonne Strahovski, etc. have been exposed.

Among them, 24-year-old Jennifer Lawrence was the most severely affected star after more than 100 nude photos were exposed.

In fact, this matter is a problem with Apple's cloud disk, but Apple refuses to admit it, believing that it is the celebrity's personal account that is not strictly protected and led to the leak.

Let’s taste it, that’s roughly it.

He Fang also shot the movie in December and wanted to finish it as soon as possible. He was a little disgusted with this lack of passion. This was the first time he had such a mentality.

I was really exhausted from filming, and I couldn’t wait to finish it right away.

It's the feeling that going to work is boring, you really just complete the task, and you don't want to stay in the company for a second.

Finally, he made it to the 19th. On this day, the main actors' scenes would be completed, and the crew would have a holiday on the 20th the next day.

So tired, so exhausted.

He almost didn't want to attend the cocktail party that night, but he thought he might as well attend. Not only would it appear that he was unqualified, but it would also cause bad rumors to spread.

Therefore, he had no choice but to raise his glass and say goodbye to many actors, saying "reluctantly" against his will.
