China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 386 Please finish filming the sequels of these movies first

"I don't have a girlfriend because I don't have time. I'm very busy every day, and I fly here and there. In love, if you can't give the other person happiness and companionship, don't provoke others. If you do, you can't give the other person happiness. , giving others only endless longing and loneliness, then such a man is a scumbag. I don’t want to be a scumbag, and I don’t have the energy to coax women every day, so I haven’t found a girlfriend for the time being.”

He Fang's answer made the fans at the scene very agitated. Some were supportive, some were opposed, some were sympathetic, and some were willing to be lonely for He Fang...

"Okay, as I just said, that is the last personal question. Next, let's ask questions related to your work. The fourth question, please tell me, you have successfully adapted two animation works from the island country, will you? Will there be a third part? Or more parts?" Yui Aragaki asked.

"Of course there is. For example, I will be cooperating with Paramount this year to film a film. "Ghost in the Shell" is a famous comic book work in the island country. In fact, the island country has many excellent comic works, and I have been looking for ones suitable for me to adapt. , I believe there will be more and more related works in the future.”

He Fang replied.

"The fifth question is, which island actor do you most want to work with? Why?"

"I don't have the best idea. It depends on whether the role is suitable. So far, Yui Aragaki is the actor who can better understand my requirements. The rest depends on the opportunity. No one dares to draw a conclusion." He Fang replied quickly.

This answer is more biased towards Yui Aragaki.

"The sixth question is, why do you make films so fast? Some directors only make one film every two or three years, but you can make three films in one year. The key is that the quality is still so good. What is the reason? Is there any secret?"

"Actually, this is not a problem. In fact, what everyone sees is only the period of time when we are busy filming. In fact, for every movie, we spend several months and half a year in advance to prepare. And the preparation work is invisible to everyone. Yes, it’s very cumbersome. The reason why I don’t have the front line of preparations is because my cooperation team has great advantages.

Basically, as long as we determine the script and then determine the storyboard, a lot of the work does not require me to be at the preparation site. My team will complete the work very well and have effective communication with me.

This is the secret to my ability to make multiple films every year. I know how to work well together and fully trust my partners.Once they have prepared the pre-production work, all I have to do is direct the on-site shooting.

Another point is that we also have a very excellent team in charge of post-production. They will track every aspect of post-production, which allows me to get rid of the tedious work in post-production.In short, the reason why I can make films so fast has a lot to do with my full delegation of authority to the team and the full professionalism of the team. "

Bang bang bang... the fans at the scene gave warm applause.

"The seventh question is, how do you make a movie that is a hit?"

"This question is difficult to answer. No director can always make a hit movie. In order to deal with this problem, we have to find some already successful and marketable stories, such as successful novels or comics. Or maybe it's a game.

These are all mature and good stories with a certain audience base. We only need to make appropriate small adaptations on this basis, and we can basically make the movie more popular. "

He Fang didn't hide it, these were not big secrets, and others couldn't learn them even if they wanted to.

Why do you say you can’t learn even if you want to?This kind of movie is usually a big-investment movie. Big-investment movies require relevant teams and creators who have experience in creating large-scale special effects movies, and they need the blessing of big-name stars. And big-investment requires a big market to support it... These are all linked together.

This is a so-called high-barrier movie. It cannot be made by a small director just because he wants to make it. It must be directed by a big director, and there must be a production company willing to invest.

However, this kind of big-investment movie may seem very glamorous and very profitable, but its risks are very high. Once you lose money, you will not lose a little bit.

So, why can Hollywood film it?That's because they have the funds, a professional team, and the big market to sell movies around the world.

And why did Hong Kong movies, which were as famous as Hollywood in the 80s, decline?The investment is not that big, the technology is not there, and the market is not big enough to sell a movie for hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Therefore, Hong Kong films can only be beaten to pieces by Hollywood. In the end, they will suffer internal conflicts and kill themselves with piracy and short-lived films in order to make some profits.

What would happen even if the islanders knew about these things?Can they film it?It would have been filmed long ago, probably in the 90s and [-]s, and it will be as famous as Hollywood.It couldn't be done before, and it's even more impossible now.

"The eighth question is, how can I become an excellent director like you?"

"This, this... first of all, you have to have a pair of parents like me to give birth to a son like me. Then, you have to have relevant education and life experience, so that you can have an understanding like me.

Of course, when it's all done, there won't necessarily be another identical He Fang.Another condition is that the same opportunities must be there before the same me can be born.

So, how to become a director like me is a very difficult thing.In fact, you don’t have to be like me. You can be whatever you want to be. For directing, there are only two things to succeed.

First, rich director knowledge and skilled directing skills.The second is the talent of a director. Different directors can produce different effects when faced with the same story.It's not about skill, it's about talent. "

He Fang patiently answered this question.

"The ninth question, how do you achieve the balance between artistic films and commercial films? There are very few directors in the world who can both win awards and be commercially successful. How do you do it?" Yui Aragaki asked. "I can't answer this question because I can't explain it clearly. If I have to give an answer, it would be two words 'talent'. What is talent? Talent is someone who is born to be sensitive to something and he can do it. Once you learn it, you will know it, once you do it, you will be successful, and once you think about it, you can solve the problem.

Talent is a kind of innate ability and understanding. Ability means that you can learn it as soon as I just said it, and your understanding means that you can solve problems with just one thought.Therefore, sometimes this kind of thing cannot be explained or cannot be explained clearly. "

He Fang replied.

However, Yui Aragaki asked excitedly: "So, do you mean something like the 'Chosen One'?"

He Fang thought for a moment and shrugged, "It's not impossible if you think so."

"Okay, then the tenth question..."

This was indeed a fan meeting, and we really asked all the questions that fans wanted to ask one by one.

Even though the fan meeting asked so many questions, there was also a handshake meeting at the end, autographs and photos, etc., but the whole process only lasted about three hours.

This is because after the publicity and distribution process has matured, the activities organized by others are very professional and fast.

Next is a shopping mall event, a cinema event in the mall, and a program recording.

After following this set of procedures, He Fang and the others were busy until past ten o'clock in the evening.

He Fang invited the creators to go back to the hotel and rest for an hour and a half. They flew to Hong Kong at about twelve o'clock, and they happened to spend New Year's Eve on the plane.

In this hour or so, He Fang and Yui Aragaki got tired of each other twice. No matter how hard or tiring it was, they had to force themselves twice. The most important thing was that Yui Aragaki's skills had been upgraded and she really couldn't control it.

More than an hour later, He Fang said goodbye to Yui Aragaki who was reluctant to leave, met up with the creators of "Alita" and headed straight to the airport.

On the plane they opened a few bottles of champagne and started celebrating, not to celebrate the movie's box office but to celebrate the New Year.

"Oh, it is indeed New Year's Eve. The box office is basically very slow this night. Now it's past 2.421 o'clock, and it has stopped at [-] million."

"Ha, aren't you satisfied with this data? It's already extremely good, right?"

"Come, come, come, let's drink to the first-day box office."

"Cheers, cheers, happy new year, happy new year."

……

Many of the main creators and assistants on He Fang's private plane were very drunk. Fortunately, this was a private plane where they could drink, smoke, watch a movie or play some music and dance.

There is even a [-]-inch projector installed on the plane so you can watch movies.

After one o'clock, everyone fell asleep. They were really tired today.

And "Alita: Battle Angel" has been released basically all over the world, and many loyal fans from all over the world have entered the cinema.

Unfortunately, this is a working day on a Wednesday in a place that does not celebrate the Spring Festival. Many people cannot go during the day and can only go to the movies after the afternoon or on weekends.

There are already ratings and comments on the North American IMDb website. It has been released for more than half a day in the United States and the West, and the rating is temporarily 9.1 points. This score will definitely fall, and will basically stabilize in three days, but I believe it will be more than 8 points. The minimum score will not be lower than 8. This score is an excellent movie.

"He Fangxin's movie integrates Chinese kung fu into science fiction movies very well. This is the best science fiction action movie I have ever seen. The action is very cool. I never thought that science fiction movies would make the action so exciting. Fortunately, this Who took the photo, because the Chinese are good at this..."

"Alita is a fascinating character. I think I have been conquered by this character. Her small body has great abilities, and her personality is amazing. She is an angel, but she is also mortal. She Dare to love or hate, she is also sentimental..."

"Dazzling special effects. Chinese movie special effects have become more and more mature. The lifelike mechanical limbs made my whole body tingle. They are so realistic and the special effects are so good. We can no longer look at those who are lagging behind. I’m going to see Chinese special effects. I’m worried that they will surpass us soon..."

"I hope the movie can be longer, fast-paced, with great visual effects, and this cyberpunk style suits my taste. This is a movie with a complete world view. I really want to know about that city in the sky What is it like? And what is it like outside the earth that is colonized by humans? When will the second part start filming? Oh my God, He Fang has dug a lot of holes for us. "Pacific Rim" and "Edge of Tomorrow" , "Journey to the West", "White Snake"...and now "Alita" is added, He Fang, please don't make other movies, just finish the sequels of these movies first..."
