China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 392 I Am the Chosen One

The recording of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" takes place in the evening local time. The Ellen DeGeneres Show usually only invites one guest to appear, so... He Fang and Pan Zhilin were a bit special when they appeared on the show together.

"The stars are different this time. What's the difference? I believe many people have watched their popular movies, but they didn't expect who they are, right? So, please invite the world-famous director He Fang, who is currently showing Pan Zhilin, who plays Alita in "Alita: Battle Angel."

Ellen was still sitting on her white sofa as always, introducing Bai Bai casually.

Then He Fang and Pan Zhilin walked out of the backstage together, and then Allen stood up and pretended to button her suit.

"Welcome you two, wow, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful."

"Hello, Allen." He Fang opened his arms and hugged Allen.

"Hello, He, you are welcome to be our guest."

"Hi, Pan, welcome." Allen said and gave Pan Zhilin a hug.

"Hello, Ms. Allen, I'm glad to be participating in your show." Pan Zhilin said excitedly.

"Ha, as long as you're happy, come on, you two, please sit down." Allen asked them to sit down.

When Ellen sat down too, she then tilted her head.

"Shall we start with the movie?" Alan asked.

"Of course not. According to the rules of your show, we don't necessarily have to talk about our new movie "Alita: Battle Angel."" He Fang waved his hand.

"Wow, but you already talked about it."

"Oh? Really? Sorry, I didn't mean to advertise." He Fang shrugged apologetically.

"Can we cut this section?" Alan asked.

"..." He Fang suddenly looked constipated, "Okay, I thought I could succeed, but I didn't expect this was not a live broadcast."

"Haha..." The audience rarely saw that He Fang had such a humorous side.

"Since you're so sad, I won't cut it out, but do you have to show some expression?" Allen asked.

After He Fang paused for a moment, he stood up and took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Allen.

"Then I'll give this to you."

Alan took the small box curiously and opened it carefully.

"Wow, is this real?" Allen took out a ceramic blue and white vase about five centimeters high from a small box. It was very beautiful.

"Of course it's real, real ceramics, produced in Jingdezhen, China, the hometown of ceramics in the world." He Fang nodded.

"Did you give it to me?" Alan asked in surprise.

"of course."

"Is this expensive?" Allen asked.

"No, it's not expensive. It's just a small ornament. Don't worry, it's not very valuable." He Fang waved his hand.

"Okay, thank you for your gift. But, even if I accept your gift, we still have to cut it, otherwise I will be accepting a bribe." Allen smiled.

"Of course, I don't want to break the law. This is really just an ordinary gift, with no other meaning."

"OK, that's good. So, He, how did you do all this at the age of 32? A successful director, a successful business, and one of the most influential people in China?" Ellen began her question .

"This... to be honest, I don't know how to answer it anymore. It's like you meet a person of the opposite sex you like, and then she likes you too. After that, it all happens so naturally. Maybe this is... the chosen one," He Fang described waving his hand.

"A natural protagonist with a halo? Why haven't you been like this since you were a child?" Allen laughed.

"The time has not yet come. When the time comes, the identity of the chosen one will be exposed, and then he will be different. This is like knowing whether a woman's sexuality is not sexy until she is fully developed."

"Oh!" The audience immediately started to cheer. "Haha, okay. I heard that you have great influence in China and can change the rules of the industry. You can even let all the movies exclude other films without rejecting them? Is that true?" Allen asked.

"Wow, how does this sound like something a dictator did? There is no such thing. China is a society ruled by law. An industry cannot be decided by one person. Besides, I do not control the interests of the entire industry. Life or death, who will listen to me? What you are talking about is some people deliberately spreading rumors to cause trouble. They deliberately say that someone is making things difficult for them when they are not doing well in China. This is not true."

He Fang explained.

"Dictatorship, rule of law, and China? Okay, our show doesn't talk about politics, but obviously what you just said will be disagreeable to those who care about it." Allen shrugged.

"It doesn't matter. Some people just follow what others say. They don't understand China at all, and then they try to slander China. Some people don't even know where China is. They can't even recognize it when they take out a map. But, The media tells them this is bad about China and that's not right, and then they echo it and say, 'China is bad.'"

After He Fang finished speaking, he babbled indifferently.

"Hmm, that makes sense." Allen nodded.

"Of course, maybe everyone knows the great man of China. He once said a very true saying. Without investigation, you have no right to speak. It is wrong to draw rash conclusions without having personally been to China and having an in-depth understanding of China."

"Really? Well, maybe so." Ellen obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue because her show was not a political show.

He Fang did not continue, but just nodded with a smile.

"So, why did you stand up for Anne Hathaway back then? What was your reason? Some people said you had a crush on her?" Allen asked.

"I remember I seemed to have answered this question. At that time, I stood up for Annie for two reasons. First, at that time, I had already told Fox that I wanted to cast her as Mystique. If her character collapsed at that time, it would prove that I There will be problems with the person you choose, and I don’t know how to choose people. So, she can’t have problems.

Second, although Annie is sometimes very straightforward, she is a good person and has never had a bad influence on society. She has never been heard of having any bad habits in the industry.You know, there are too many people in this circle who smoke marijuana, gamble, have sex, or have other bad habits.

But Annie didn't. Even the people who threw dirty water on her couldn't find the real fault, so they had to attack her character and magnify some minor problems.Based on these two points, I dared to help her.If she really has a problem, if I don't do well, I might be involved. If I'm not sure, do I dare to do anything wrong? "

He Fang's words made the audience and Allen nod.

"So, you are right, Annie won the Oscar, and no one has found out that she has any black material in these years." Allen nodded.

"So what do you think an actor must have to win an Oscar?" Allen continued to ask.

"Well..." He Fang thought for a moment, "First of all, we have to be able to match the image and temperament of the character. Why was Anne scolded back then? It was because some people felt that her image and temperament were not suitable enough when she played Fantine, or maybe Don't want to sacrifice yourself to fit the role.

Only when the image and temperament match the character can the audience be brought into the character's world and the judges will give a basic score.

Secondly, it is the integration of emotions. In the past, for Anne's role, everyone felt that her emotions were not integrated with the character, but in the movie "Room", she has achieved integration, so that the audience's emotions will be aroused.

The last thing is proficient skills. Sometimes some actors will lose points if they don't use certain skills properly.For example, a beautiful and kind-hearted girl, when she encounters a tragic experience in life, she needs to perform a performance and burst into tears.Some actors will cry in scenes that make the audience feel pity and heartache, while unskilled actors will play crying scenes that make the audience feel nauseated.

This is obviously a low score in terms of technique. This will make it difficult for the audience and the judges to describe it. They say your performance is not good. When the love is strong, you react naturally and say your performance is good. Why do you look like this? Isolated? "

When He Fang said this, there was warm applause from the audience, as if He Fang spoke the aspirations of many viewers.

Allen also nodded and applauded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, it is right to let the director who is best at applauding actors pass on his experience. But, He, I have a doubt that I have never been able to figure out. You have also said on different occasions that acting The question is, why do many actors still not perform well?"

"Haha... This is a good question. It's very simple. The methods of making atomic bombs can now be found online. However, there are still only a few countries in the world that can make atomic bombs. Why? In fact, you will understand this if you understand the principle. The principle is different from whether you can do it.

Just like many people are imitating the Ellen Show, but only your Ellen Show is popular and irreplaceable. "

"Oh, that's it, I probably understand. Okay, Pan, as an actor who has worked with He many times, can you tell the difference between his performance guidance and that of other directors? Or the advantages?"

Allen chatted with He Fang for a long time, and finally remembered that there was Pan Zhilin.

"To be honest, I feel that other directors have similar requirements to him. For example, they require me to be emotionally involved and to find the physical characteristics and temperament of the character. Even sometimes, other directors will ask for very detailed requirements for a smile. You should laugh how you should, and what you say makes sense.

However, the strange thing is that after I acted in director He Fang's play, I felt that my acting skills had improved.Therefore, I can’t tell what the difference is or what the advantages are. "

Pan Zhilin's praise seems to mean that there is no difference, but what it actually expresses is that it is unique.

That's right, he uses the same method as everyone else, and he can make actors improve. Do you think it's irritating?

"...Could this be the uniqueness of the chosen one?" Allen was also speechless at this moment.
