Although the speech was forced by the situation and seemed to be a spur-of-the-moment speech, Fang Yi had actually rehearsed it several times in his mind.
He speculated that this image was closer to the person that employees liked, so he also used his instinct as an actor. The speech just now was sincere and had a high degree of performance.
How could Director Fang be so passionate?
Overtime wages in mainland China are quite aggressive, with working days × 150%, rest days × 200%, and legal holidays × 300%. These are among the top benefits in the world - if they can be implemented in place.
It just so happens that base is a company that can execute well. Otherwise, how can we recruit people?
It has only been a few years of generous subsidies. If Base still fails to succeed, or if Chinese films continue to fail and disappoint Shangfeng, I am afraid that everyone will fall into disgrace.
What's more, Fang Yi's money-burning is not crazy, and the money he spends is still effective. Zhang Yimou's "The Thirteen Hairpins" last year invited the entire Hollywood cast, and the world only knows that the male lead is Batman Chris Bell.
In fact, the digital compositors, art directors, photography team, editors, pyrotechnics and explosion team... are all top-notch, a "global team" with creatives from 26 countries, truly a smooth network.
Otherwise, it would not have been produced with a staggering production cost of "600 million", topped the current domestic film cost list, and ultimately won a global box office close to "600 million".
If this production cost is real, the global box office must be at least 2 billion to have any chance of making it back. It is only a slight possibility - in short, it is an incredible project. In the end, "The Thirteen Beauties" represented the mainland to compete for the Golden Globe Award.
The best foreign language film was lost to Yin Lang's film "A Separation" which cost 500,000 US dollars, which became a perfect irony.
"The Thirteen Hairpins" is not that bad, but judging from the return on investment ratio, it can't be worse. "The Promise" is not as bad as this movie.
Maybe it’s because Director Chen Kaige’s reputation is too bad and he’s too popular, so Director Zhang silently took the responsibility for everything...
Zhang Yimou and producer Zhang Weiping had a falling out over this, and they were now blaming each other. One complained bitterly, believing that "creative freedom has been controlled," while another posted, "Zhang Yimou has disappeared from the world, and I don't know where the others are."
Director Fang is young and has really taken over this year. The organization has begun to regard him as a trustworthy trump card. This is related to the fact that these old directors have gone too far.
Sometimes if you don't do anything, the directors will defeat themselves.
Great Olympic director, why can't you take care of your feathers a little?
After talking about chicken soup, Base issued a military order, believing that all special effects shots could be completed by October and the quality guaranteed. Fang Yi verbally fought for a week, hoping to complete it in late September, but in fact he could accept that it would be completed in early December.
Done.
It's not impossible to do something like this when you're still editing the film two weeks before it's released.
What, you said no blockbusters do this?
Directors must have the courage to be the first in the world.
After leaving the base, special effects director William and former special effects director Lao Ke saw Fang Yi off. William felt that hugo Fang showed the enthusiasm of an American boss. Just now, he was just like a short-seller on Wall Street brainwashing people, so he followed suit and immediately followed suit.
Back to American mode:
"Fang, I heard that you have a wax figure left behind in Madame Tussauds. Can it be placed in the lobby on the first floor of the base? Every time they pass by during the day, they will involuntarily make an oath. I am serving this person every night.
, let the employees fall asleep looking at your portrait, Amen! Amen! I will be bathed in your holy light in my dreams..."
Fang Yi: "Ahem!"
Lao Ke said: "It seems that the boss's encouragement has had some effect... but I am not optimistic that I can manage it for a long time. One speech is not enough."
Fang Yi: "Divide all the special effects into several sections and stages, and find a reason to celebrate after each part is completed. Where do you want to celebrate? Don't go too far, let me take care of it. In addition, organize those special effects shots on specific equipment.
They watch - I'm not just talking, I really hope that base can fall in love with "Zodiac" and Chinese commercial films. Base will not always be an outsourcer. If the development goes smoothly, in a few years, base will even make domestic special effects films.
But come here..."
Lao Ke and William looked at each other, suddenly a little confused. The former said: "I thought you were joking?"
The latter said: "Resolutely obey hugo's orders!"
So Lao Ke nodded wildly and repeated: "loyalty! sincerity!"

The wax figure that was suddenly lifted up is now placed in the practice room of the Republic Era Film and Television Company. It is covered with a piece of gauze to cover its appearance to prevent students from being distracted.
It's already August, and the actor training class started last month. Many people came here.
Putting a layer of veil over the wax figure version of Fang Yi was proposed by the instructor Zhang Songwen, because his student Reba, who was working alone, could not help but stare at the wax figure. Sometimes she would be in better condition, that is when she was playing the role of admiration.
, sometimes it’s worse, and it’s also when I’m acting in admiration.
Zhang Songwen is a veteran actor, and most of the actors in his training class have mediocre qualifications. Reba is not the most mediocre among them, and can be saved.
Perhaps because he has been a tour guide and has been engaged in training for a long time, Zhang Songwen is a super chatty person. He uncovered the veil of the wax figure, took two steps back to look at the wax figure, and sighed sincerely: "It really looks like me! It's like I am standing here.
.”
"I wonder when I will be qualified to be invited to be a wax figure? Oh, it seems that being a teacher is not bad. Maybe you can realize my wish, so I will treat it as my own. I don't look good!"
Reba sat cross-legged on the ground and looked up for a while: "Now, I can only talk to the wax figure, and it's even covered with a layer of veil! Even the wax figure doesn't even have to face me... It's like I haven't shown my true face..."
I know that Fang Yi and Liu Yifei have been in love for so long, but I still don’t know anything."
There have been many posts on the Internet revealing Fang and Liu's relationship. Since both of them do not shy away from it, there is now a lot of relevant evidence. Some people think that it may appear at the latest after the filming of "17 Again" in Jinling, that is, last year. At that time, Fang
Yi and Liu Yifei visited Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum together, and on New Year's Eve, Liu's mother came to make dumplings and gave out red envelopes the next day.
This is conclusive evidence that the heroine did this—did Liu Yifei have this intention? Even if she did, Fang Yi would have to acquiesce. This is an attitude, not publicity.
Some people also believe that something may have gone wrong between the two of them as early as the first episode of "A Date with Lu Yu". At that time, Liu Tianxian was very aggressive, and Fang Yi was about to enter the house. Because the two did not respond to their feelings, reporters
They have to ask the people around them.
Lu Yu was ambiguous in a recent interview: "They seemed to be in a relationship at that time, distant and close at the same time... Do you believe it? In fact, Liu Yifei is more lively than Fang Yi in private, and Fang Yi is very quiet when he is not working."
The reporter also asked Liu's mother. Liu's mother rarely answered her daughter's relationship questions, but she gave a rare positive answer several times: "When I first met Fang Yi, I thought they were quite suitable, not ordinary, and it turned out to be the case."
.”
"Then when did it start?"
"Very early, we have known each other for a long time."
On many occasions, Liu's mother hinted that Fang Liu's emotional line was very long and deep, and could not be shaken.
This made little fan Reba not very happy.
Zhang Songwen comforted: "As actors, we all have our own original intentions and coincidences, but there must be a little bit of a dream that supports us in adversity. I hope you can seize this pure dream. Because you have come in and can't
Look back, don’t let yourself down. If you can’t chase stars, you can become a star yourself.”
After hearing this, Reba nodded heavily, and then listened to the whole class honestly. Zhang Songwen was very satisfied and said, "You just understand that you are living for yourself."
In the evening, Reba packed up his things and left, then turned back when he reached the door.
She remembered that Fang Yi's gauze had not been put on yet, and she was afraid that Director Fang's wax figure would be covered with dust. When she picked up the gauze, she found that she was not tall enough to cover it, so she could only step on the very narrow base of the wax figure which was a little higher.
, almost completing the veiling task face to face.
After jumping down, Reba was very nervous and looked around, thinking that luckily no one had discovered him.
