China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 409 Military Movies Begin
He Fang reached an ideological agreement with a group of big shots in the film and television industry in the capital, making them aware of the enemy's possible destruction and preparing everyone.After reaching this agreement, He Fang went to Haizheng Film and Television Art Center.

Because there was an evacuation incident in Yemen in March 2015, he had to apply to film this story, which required the use of some navy equipment and the permission of the navy.

For He Fang's request, the people at the Haizheng Film and Television Art Center paid high attention to and welcomed it, and even the superiors gave loose conditions.He Fang's "Operation Mekong" has set a new benchmark for Chinese theme movies. What kind of theme will make the audience like it?

He Fang gave the answer with "Operation Mekong". What he wanted was a main theme of this quality, so they warmly welcomed He Fang when he said he wanted to make a main theme movie for the Navy.

After arriving at the Haizheng Film and Television Art Center, I had some communication with the leaders of their center. After He Fang told his story idea, the leaders of Haizheng liked it very much. It showed the combat power of the special operations team Jiaolong, but there was still not too much plot. , will only present the movie with tragic war and battle scenes.

Then He Fang made a series of equipment requirements. He asked to display weapons of this kind and even some concept weapons.

The people in the maritime affairs department cannot decide on this point. This must be reported to the higher authorities for accuracy.

He Fang stayed here for a few days, waiting for the summons from above to explain why He Fang was displaying these weapons. Some people were worried that showing off his muscles too much would arouse the fear of other countries.

But He Fang directly refuted it with one sentence: "Dear leaders, if we don't show off, others will be afraid of us? If we don't show off, people will attack us every day because we are not transparent, and what kind of equipment do we have? Do you really think they don't know about it?
Moreover, a proper display of muscles will not scare others, but will only scare those evil forces who want to attack our citizens.Of course, it will also give our citizens unprecedented self-confidence.

Let them know that no matter where they are in the world, our country will provide them with the protection they deserve. This is a promise to the people as a people's army. "

Being poured down a bowl of hot-blooded chicken soup by He Fang made the leaders excited. They were all in the army, so who didn't have some enthusiasm or the idea of ​​​​pumping their fists?
It’s just these years... Okay, just show off what you show, as Fang Fang said, even if they don’t show it, others will know it, so...

Finally, with He Fang's efforts, the leaders agreed to his plan.The main displays are individual equipment and fleet weapons, such as certain types of missiles and communication support, or air support.

Show how warships provide air support to land at sea, especially on the territory of other countries.

After determining these equipment plans, all that was left was to polish the script. This time, Hai Zheng did not write the script, but only required it to be reviewed and meet the requirements.

This is already very relaxed and very friendly.

After dealing with Hai Zheng, He Fang met with several big names in the industry in the capital. Many parties wanted to participate in the "Operation Red Sea" project and had already been eyeing He Fang's project.

In order to unite and unite the film and television industry that had just been divided by the group of literary and artistic directors, He Fang also gave up this benefit.In fact, he doesn’t want to be alone. What’s more, the more people participate, the bigger the cake will be, and the profit margin will be greater. This is not a bad thing.

"Director He, you are becoming more and more addicted to making movies with the main theme. Is there really a big market?" Xiao Wang Zhonglei asked after clinking glasses with He Fang.

"Of course, believe me, "Operation Red Sea" will have a much higher box office than "Operation Mekong". I have already said that main theme movies will be a major genre and direction in the future." He Fang finished speaking and drank from the cup. liquor.

"But if we cooperate with the military, we won't listen..." Mr. Wang didn't finish his words, but everyone understood.

"What's there to be afraid of? The U.S. military has invested in many movies in every war. The most famous ones are "Top Gun", "Escape from Tehran", "American Spy", and the "Transformers" series, "The Hunt for Bin Laden", "The Green Berets"...

Many movies, even many in the Marvel Universe series, are directly invested in by the U.S. military.Not to mention those who are directly involved, because when many Hollywood producers want to film military weapons and equipment and the US military, they will apply for cooperation with the 'Film Liaison Group' jointly established by the military and the CIA.

Over the years, I don’t know how many movies the US military has directly participated in and invested in.For example, there are about 60 Korean War movies made by Americans, of which at least [-] were fully funded by the US military.

Therefore, there is nothing surprising about cooperating with the military to make a movie. It must be made when it needs to be made. "After He Fang finished speaking, he spread his hands indifferently.

"But Director He, the United States can do this, but if we do it, we will be attacked, smeared, and blocked by them. Even you have said it countless times yourself, Americans are playing double standards, and some They can do things that others can't do." Yu Dong said worriedly. "Oh, Mr. Yu, what you said has hit the point. It's okay. I am the director and I am the main investor. You don't have to be afraid of following behind. Even if you want to be banned, it won't involve you." He Fang waved indifferently. He waved his hand.

"Director He, I'm not afraid that the Americans will block me. What's the use of blocking me? What I'm afraid of is that the Americans will block you. If they block you, there will be no one to lead us in the international arena. The loss will still be for all of us. Ah." Yu Dong's words are true.

"Don't be afraid. It's just a movie. They won't block me blatantly. If they block me just because of a movie, it's not justified. After all, my movie doesn't satirize the United States, and it doesn't involve any awareness of China or foreign countries. Shape, for what reason are you blocking me?

Of course, there will definitely be some tricks behind the scenes, but we are not afraid of this.They played tricks last time. If they play tricks again this time, we have countermeasures. "How can we relax our minds?

Although everyone felt a lot more relaxed, they were still not completely relaxed. He Fang felt that they were still slightly worried.

After all, Chinese businessmen all understand one truth: Businessmen do not fight with officials. They can make some money from the people, but if it involves the threat of the United States, the gain outweighs the loss.

"Operation Mekong" has given everyone a sample, proving that the main theme market is very good. Why has no company followed up until now?Isn't it just fear?

The shadow of a person's famous tree, the prestige of a world overlord is real, and they are afraid of it.

"You guys, what are you afraid of? Even Marx said: When the profit reaches 10%, the capitalists will be ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, the capitalists will take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, Capitalists dare to trample all laws in the world; when profits reach 300%, capitalists dare to risk hanging.

You still want to surpass Western capitalists, but if you don’t even have the courage to surpass Western capitalists, how can you surpass them?Since the main theme movie has huge profits, why are you still afraid of eggs?You are not the first to suffer when someone else's tricks come. We are also well-organized, right? "

He Fang patted the table and said enthusiastically.

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, Director He is right. If we don't even have the courage to compete with others, if we do this, our company will still have two good books with the main theme."

"Done, done."

……

The next day, He Fang returned to Changsha. He would continue to polish several scripts with the screenwriting team, and also check out the post-production work of "Huan Tai 2".

Of course, he also saw that "Fights Break the Sphere", which is in full swing, returned to Changsha. "Fights Break the Sphere" has now completed part of its location shooting and has returned to the studio of Huying Group.

In the post-production computer room, He Fang happened to bump into Zhang Mo. She was directing the editing and there was a bit of an argument.

"Director Zhang, if you're not filming, what are you doing in this editing room?" He Fang asked.

"Uh... edit and sort out the content shot in the early stage." Zhang Mo stood up quickly and said.

He Fang waved his hand and then smiled.

"What, are you worried about the editing? Are you afraid that they will cut out your best scenes?"

"Hey, that..."
