China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 430: Why make such bold statements and shock everyone?

"Fights Beyond the Sky" has been hotly followed by everyone for a week. When the first season was released, many viewers eagerly urged the broadcast of the second season.

But the second season will not be released so soon, at least until half a year later.

Although I only followed the series for a week, the repeated viewing and hot discussion lasted for nearly a month.This is a new benchmark for Chinese costume fairy tales.

Because of the popularity of "Fights Beyond the Sphere", popular fairy tales and fantasy novels on major literary websites have been sold at high prices.This has really brought a wave of adaptation craze to online literature. Literature websites have become popular because of this, and some leading online writers have made a lot of money.

This period is the golden period for Internet writers to make money, and everyone is smiling with joy.

The unique Chinese story theme and style of "Fights Breaking the Sphere" also amazed foreigners. They had no idea that such a story existed in the world.Are these people with the ability to become gods cultivated, not given by God? The concept of cultivation in "Fights Break the Sphere" subverted the teachings of Western monotheistic religions, especially young people, whose desire for exploration was instantly ignited.

"Why is "Harry Potter" so popular? It's because "Harry Potter" allows ordinary people to learn magic through the magic academy and surpass humans. And "The Sky" has a similar concept. In the concept of this story Anyone who has talent can cultivate and become a god. This concept makes young people yearn for it, as if they have transformed into the protagonist Xiao Yan, and then make people who look down on him look at him with admiration, and make women admire him."

"Chinese Taoism, Buddhism, and Indian yoga are all people who practice and then become gods. In our West, there is no such thing. Only the sons or brothers and sisters of gods can become gods. And we are all gods. People, just listen to their will and act.”

"This is the concept of Eastern religions. They say that everyone can become a god and that humans can conquer heaven. But we will only obey God's will and only pray when encountering problems. If everyone in China could become a god, it would be very scary."

"China's method is so attractive. Xiao Yan has to stand out among thousands of apprentices and then defeat them one by one. It's so cool."

“Will God not punish them for doing this?”

"God? The Chinese have never believed in God. Their civilization has been around for 5000 years. In fact, humans can live well even if they don't believe in God, and their civilization will be even more brilliant."

"Shet, please shut up. You will be punished for blaspheming God like this."

"Oh my god, there are still people who believe in this? There are 70 billion people in the world, and the total number of people who believe in God is only 24 billion. Then there are 46 billion people who don't believe in God, but they still live well. Facts have proved that God does not He will punish people, so it’s okay if you don’t believe him.”

"Oh my God, what's wrong with you all? This show has to be banned, it's destroying our belief system."

"Yes, it is impossible for humans to become gods through cultivation. Only with God's guidance can we reach the other side."

"Blocking it will destroy young people's religious understanding."

……

Well, disorganized discussions always go astray.Of course, the so-called blockade called for by some netizens in the West will not be implemented, because it will cause a wide range of problems and involve political aspects, which will be very troublesome.

After May, He Fang received a request from Universal. He will help promote "Jurassic World" on his personal social account. He even has to accept relevant interviews. Of course, the most important premiere event must be To participate.

Universal has scheduled three premieres, one in Los Angeles, one in London and one in Shanghai.

Obviously, Universal hopes to use He Fang's fame in China to make money at the box office, so there is a premiere in Shanghai.

《侏罗纪世界》的全球上映日期是6月10日，首映礼从5月28号开始，5月28号洛杉矶，6月2号伦敦，6月5号上海。

Therefore, He Fang had to leave the crew for nearly ten days, which made him very helpless, but he had signed a contract and had to participate in the activities.

So on May 5th, He Fang left the crew to the executive director and action director and asked them to film some battle scenes.He Fangze ran to Los Angeles to attend the world premiere of "Jurassic World."

Frank Marshall, one of the producers, went to pick him up at the airport. He stepped forward and gave He Fang a big hug and then took He Fang to the hotel prepared by Environmental Films.

When he arrived at the hotel, he first met with the main creators of the crew, and then He Fang went to put on makeup. After putting on makeup, he was interviewed by CNBC, the TV station of Deng Universal Company.

The famous host of CNBC TV station Jim Cramer conducted an interview with He Fang for about 10 minutes, which will be promoted on CNBC TV station.

Jim's main interview was to ask He Fang to quickly praise the part of the movie in disguise, so as to attract some viewers.

"He, this is another of your big special effects movies. What do you think is different between "Jurassic World" and your other special effects blockbusters? What makes it more attractive to audiences?"

He Fang sat on the sofa chair, lit a cigarette, and puffed out the smoke gracefully with a confident expression.

"The most different thing is the popularity of the IP of this movie. As we all know, this is a movie that continues "Jurassic Park", and it doesn't matter how big the impact "Jurassic Park" has had around the world. I won’t go into details. This is one of the greatest strengths of Jurassic World, compared to Jurassic Park, a movie that has been anticipated for 14 years.

Of course, you can tell from the name. The previous movie was called "Jurassic Park", but the current movie is called "Jurassic World". Do you understand the difference between the park and the world?It means that dinosaurs were just in the park before, but now dinosaurs have become a world.

I am confident that the audience will see a sensation that is no less shocking than "Jurassic Park." Moreover, "Jurassic World" uses better technology and has a 3D experience, which will make the audience more immersed.

In addition, there is still Mr. Spielberg's story style, because he is still the screenwriter of "Jurassic World".This is a guarantee that the audience can see the authentic Jurassic flavor. "

He Fang's words can really highlight the outstanding points.

"Mature IP, screenplay by the original author, plus new technology, and the leap from the park to the world. With so many advantages, I believe the audience will not be disappointed and will be able to feast their eyes..."

He Fang talked eloquently, and all the things he boasted satisfied the reporters and the people at Universal. He Fang continued to brag for two and ten minutes before the interview ended.

Immediately after the interview on Universal's own TV station, there was a mixed interview with several media outlets. This interview lasted 40 minutes to allow them to ask all the questions they wanted to ask.

After He Fang finished dealing with the reporters, he had to go to the premiere, but before going, he had a big burger and a cup of hot coffee.

At about 05:30 in the afternoon, He Fang took a limousine and arrived outside the Dujing Theater. Sitting with him was Bryce Dallas Howard. After the car stopped in front of and behind the red carpet, He Fang immediately opened the door on the left Get out of the car, then run to the right door and open it for Bryce Dallas Howard.At this time, the reporters were taking photos wildly at them, and their eyes were almost blinded.

Bryce Dallas Howard took He Fang's hand after getting off the car and the two walked onto the red carpet, where the host introduced them enthusiastically...

In fact, the premiere is just that. Everything is to show it in front of the media, attract a large number of movie fans, and finally use the influence to get the fans to come and watch the movie.

It took about two hours, and the red carpet was over. Now He Fang is used to the professional smile and welcome like a waiter in a hotel.

This is very challenging because you are tired after standing for more than two hours without a certain amount of physical strength. Although you can smoke a cigarette and use the toilet in the middle, there is not much rest.

After the red carpet was over, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then they smoked, went to the toilet, and even drank water and drinks.

Taking advantage of the time, the main creators of the production team went into the theater together to chat with guests from all walks of life, and then kept smiling.

When the time came to nearly eight o'clock, the premiere officially began, and He Fang watched his own movie for the first time.

In this movie, it is better to say that he is a puppet than a director, and his participation is very low.

Unfortunately, due to the special nature of this year in the United States, some cooperation between He Fang and Universal has to be suspended, which causes He Fang to suffer a great loss.

After 124 minutes, the movie ended, and the audience burst into warm applause... They were very excited to see the sequel to a movie that had not been seen for more than ten years.

What do you think of the movie "Jurassic World"?He Fang managed to make the audio and visual absolutely shocking. After all, He Fang is very experienced in making this kind of movies. He is very good at how to use the mirror and how to shoot to make the movie more shocking.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best 3D movie this year. Whether it is "The Secret Life of Pets" or "The Jungle Book", "Deadpool", "Zootopia", etc., there is no such thing as "The Secret Life of Pets". The 3D effect of "Luo Ji World" is good.

How can this be guaranteed by character and absolutely by 3D technology?

But the plot... I would give it a 6.8 at most, an average plot.The problem doesn't lie there, he can't change the plot, he's just a director.

This kind of story would not be acceptable if it were placed here, because this story is almost copying the formula of "Jurassic Park", with family adventure and dinosaurs going out of control.

This routine has not been upgraded, and the plot has no new highlights. This is the biggest failure.

Even He Fang's adaptation of "Pacific Rim 2" knows that it needs to upgrade the story based on the first part. It has upgraded from the first part simply to protect the homeland and fight off monsters to a new story routine of "sacrifice oneself to save mankind". This There will be something new to see.

It's a pity that the formula of "Jurassic World" has not been upgraded. Such a sequel...it's hard to say.

Of course, you can definitely make money, but the reputation can only be average.This will only hurt the next sequel, and the damage to this one will not be obvious.This is like "Pancake Man" being bad, but it won't hurt "Pancake Man" itself a lot, but it will do a lot of damage to Dapeng's subsequent movies.

No one can control this. It’s a commercial film, as long as it can make money.Even if it hurts, it will still make money. This kind of IP is unique in the world. Apart from "Jurassic Park", there are no dinosaur movies. This is also an advantage.

After the premiere, He Fang and Spielberg took the main creators to the stage, where they enthusiastically introduced interesting stories about the creation of the film.

Of course, the host and reporters also asked some related questions, and some of the answers were given.

For example, the most asked questions about He Fang were about filming and actors' performances. This was what people were most concerned about. He Fang just dealt with it seriously and got over it.

Finally, as the premiere was coming to an end, a reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter" asked a question that attracted everyone's attention: I hope everyone can predict the box office.

Spielberg and other main creators conservatively believe that the global revenue can exceed 10 billion U.S. dollars. After all, with this big IP and the big director He Fang.

When it was He Fang's turn to answer, He gave the answer: "With a guarantee of US$16 billion, I expect a box office of US$17-18 billion."

"Wow, Director He, are you serious? Will the global box office be more than 16 billion US dollars? Can it break the box office record of your "X-Men: Days of Future Past"?" The reporters were excited.

"Of course, it will definitely surpass "X-Men: Days of Future Past". Believe me, this will be a big-selling movie. I am a director before I am a professional audience, and I know how much a movie can probably sell. money."

He Fang boasted.

Why does he dare to brag like this?Because it has achieved a global box office of nearly 17 billion US dollars in another time and space. With his addition in this time and space, at least in the Chinese box office market, it is estimated that the box office will be at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars more. In this way, it is super 17 billion US dollars.

This is the basis for his daring to boast about Haikou. Since he can see the results, why not take the opportunity to boast more for himself?By then, the box office will really exceed 17 billion US dollars, and then his halo will be even greater.

Not only were the reporters, the guests and the audience shocked, but the creators of "Jurassic World" were also shocked, and the executives of Universal Pictures were also very excited.

If this movie can get more than 17 billion US dollars at the global box office... tsk tsk...

"He, how sure are you of the box office of more than 16 billion US dollars you mentioned?" The reporters couldn't believe it.

"Are you sure? I can make a statement today. If the box office does not exceed US$16 billion, I will not need the box office share in the contract I signed with Universal." He Fang added to his 'bold statement'.

"Wow……"

After that, the premiere ended with He Fang's "box office words". The media reporters rushed to write articles, and the guests who came to attend the premiere also expressed their thanks in He Fang's "box office words". Party…

"Hey, do you really think the box office can exceed $16 billion?" Spielberg asked.
