Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 108 King of the Universe
In the elevator, the two women, one fat and one thin, were talking and laughing. Fang Hong had no idea what they were talking about, so he could only watch them.

But he saw that Liu Tianxian's face was slightly red, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are they beeping about?"

"Why do you ask so clearly? What does it have to do with you?" Liu Tianxian didn't want to talk to him.

"I am serious. Tell me what they said. You should know that any piece of information here could be an opportunity to make a fortune."

Fang Hong became more curious and started to fool people.

In fact, he was just curious about what Liu Tianxian heard and didn't think about anything else.

Seeing Fang Hong's serious expression, Liu Tianxian paused before saying, "The two of them are discussing a pornographic novel. The fat woman seems to be the author."

At this point, Liu Tianxian didn't say another word, feeling that the content of the chat was a bit too explicit.

It turned out to be a pornographic novel. Fang Hong asked, "Did they tell me the title of the book?"

"No, we were just discussing content and stories." Liu Tianxian's expression was a little unnatural.

She heard the two people exchanging stories and talking about the sexual desires of the male and female protagonists.

This scale is beyond her ability to bear.

Fang Hong looked at Liu Tianxian's expression and deliberately said, "Listen carefully for me to see if there is any key information, such as the title of the book."

Europeans and Americans are really open-minded. If anyone talks about pornography in the elevator, Liu Tianxian should listen carefully and seriously.

Good practice later!
"Can you please stop being so boring? What's so good about pornographic novels?" Liu Tianxian was unwilling to convey the message to him. It was too explicit.

"Look at you, you are so superficial and your thoughts are so dirty. We should look beyond the appearance to the inner meaning. Did I ask you to listen to a pornographic novel? No, it's the ideological connotation contained in it." Fang Hong lied.

"Connotation, connotation, I'll let you have connotation."

Liu Tianxian hit him twice, what nonsense.

Fang Hong was just joking, and seeing that she didn't want to, he let it go.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and the two white women said goodbye, waved and said "bye", and then separated.

After Liu Tianxian saw them leave, she said with confidence, "I heard from them that the novel seems to be called "King of the Universe"!"

"The King of the Universe?" Fang Hong asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's the name, but you are not allowed to look at it. It has nothing to do with you." Liu Tianxian warned.

Fang Hong ignored her and lowered his head to think carefully, as if he was recalling something.

"What's wrong?" Liu Tianxian saw that something was wrong with him.

Fang Hong suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction the fat woman was going. Seeing that the fat woman was not far away, he pulled Liu Tianxian and chased after her.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Tianxian was dragged away without any preparation.

Fang Hong did not answer, but spoke very quickly: "Please ask her if the story of her novel is about a domineering CEO and an ordinary girl becoming sexual abuse partners."

As they talked, the two of them ran up to the fat woman.

The fat woman was also shocked when she saw two yellow men suddenly appear in front of her: "Oh my god!"

"Ms. Soray."

Liu Tianxian paused at this point, feeling quite embarrassed, and looked at Fang Hong.

Fang Hong gestured to her and said that he didn't understand what was wrong with saying this, as it was not like she wanted to experience that.

Besides, they are all adults, so grown up!
"Ma'am, I'd like to ask, is your novel story..." Seeing that the man was very concerned, Liu Tianxian could only briefly repeat his words.

Mainly, I want to see what he is going to do?

"Oh, God, it turns out you are fans of my books too." The fat woman patted her plump chest and calmed down.

Liu Tianxian looked at Fang Hong and nodded, indicating yes.

"Then tell him that we are from Yutu Pictures and we want to buy the adaptation rights of his novel. We can find a cafe to chat slowly." Fang Hongman was thankful.

"Master of the Universe" is "Fifty Shades of Grey"!
This novel is currently being serialized online and has not yet been published. It will be published in May this year, which is about one month away.

The name was changed to "Fifty Shades of Grey" when it was published!
Fang Hong originally wanted to buy the copyright as soon as the book was published, but he unexpectedly met the author of the original novel here.

In this way, not only will the price not be too high, but there will also be no need to compete with others. It’s really God’s help!

After Liu Tianxian conveyed Fang Hong's words, the fat woman nodded with interest.

She didn't think the two were scammers, because anyone who could come out of Warner had a certain status.

Besides, copyright is not that easy to cheat!
The three of them met at a cafe. The woman's name was James. She was currently just an entertainment program producer and lived an ordinary life, not as wealthy as she became later.

She was influenced by "Twilight" when she wrote "Fifty Shades of Grey". She moved the male and female protagonists of the novel and wrote an erotic novel with a very explicit tone.

That's it, a very common incident!

The novel she serialized online is quite popular, but she has been unsuccessful in seeking publication because it contains too much sexual description and has been rejected.

However, Fang Hong knew that an Australian publishing house would soon take an interest in it.

After its publication, it quickly caused a great response around the world, with sales exceeding 100 million, surpassing "Harry Potter" and "Twilight".

Now James is very interested in selling the adaptation rights because she feels that the novel she wrote is not up to standard and she doesn't know whether it will become popular in the future.

If a film and television company takes a fancy to it, of course we would be more than happy to have it!
Not everyone is a prophet, and not everyone has a long-term vision.

"Do you really want to buy it?"

Liu Tianxian felt a little resistant in her heart and didn't want Fang Hong to be involved in these things.

"You must buy it." Fang Hong said affirmatively.

"Don't you think it's vulgar?" Liu Tianxian looked up the novel on his mobile phone.

The heroine is a virgin in her 20s. She is spotted by a domineering CEO with a masochistic tendency. The two of them perform whipping, tying up, and dripping wax.
I can't go on, it's very vulgar anyway.

"I'm doing this to make money, so don't think of it in such a dirty way!" Fang Hong said as a matter of course.

"Who has such dirty thoughts?"

Liu Tianxian tui: "Don't you think of anything else?"

"What can I think? If it's really just for the money, I have no interest in the content. Besides, even if it's adapted into a film or TV series, I'm not the director, nor am I the lead actor. I won't even be credited."

Fang Hong explained it clearly.

It’s better to watch the stuff from Europe and the United States than to watch the stuff from everyday life, it’s more enjoyable to watch!
"Then let me ask you, how do you know this novel? And you know its contents." Liu Tianxian stared at him with sharp eyes.

"Actually, I don't know. I just heard about it. Yu Xian told me about it."

Fang Hong's explanation was far-fetched, but he couldn't think of a good reason. It was impossible for him to say that he was reborn to watch the movie!

Seeing that Liu Tianxian didn't quite believe him, he added: "You know I don't understand English, so I can't read the content."

This was true, and Liu Tianxian believed it. Even if the man wanted to watch it, there was a language barrier. Liu Tianxian pointed at him and warned him, "Don't listen to these nonsense with Yu Xian anymore!"

"I won't listen."

Fang Hong raised his hand to assure her, then leaned in close to her ear and said, "Translate it for me."

"roll!"

Liu Tianxian pretended to hit him, and Fang Hong subconsciously dodged.

It was just a threatening move, no real action was taken. How could I really do anything with outsiders around?

James didn't know what the couple was talking about, he just watched and waited quietly.

Liu Tianxian ignored the white man for the time being and continued to talk to Fang Hong: "Seriously, you can actually shoot something else. Horror movies are also good and can make money. Why bother with this type of thing?"

She didn't really want Fang Hong to buy the pornographic novel, she just wanted this man to be good.

If word gets out that Fang Hong has made a pornographic film, it would be so ugly and I would feel ashamed.

There was nothing wrong with horror movies. After all, there was no need to take off clothes. They were just to scare people, and she loved watching them.

This is really about taking off clothes and doing that, it's very obscene!
"You think I don't want to make movies like "Avatar", "Transformers" and "Avengers"? The problem is, I don't have the ability. There are not so many creative ideas in horror movies." Fang Hong said helplessly.

He had no intention of making any serious movies when he came to the United States. They were either horror or thriller, or erotic.

You can't beat them in making serious movies. They invest hundreds of millions of dollars, and the units are US dollars. They can't afford it.

Moreover, they cannot snatch big projects from big Hollywood companies because they are not qualified!
These quirky movies require little investment and have high returns, making them an ideal choice without offending anyone.

You are a low-budget, niche-themed person and are not even worthy of being on the stage.

After hearing what he said, Liu Tianxian had no way to refute. She really had no choice. Sometimes she had no choice, let alone Fang Hong.

Who wouldn’t want to make a good movie if they were rich and powerful?
In fact, those movies are not necessarily noble. They are all about making money, just in different ways.

Liu Tianxian didn't worry about it anymore. As long as Fang Hong was not listed as a name, it didn't matter if she didn't go to see him!

She looked at James and said, "Ma'am, we want to buy the rights to your novel. How much do you think is a reasonable price?"

"100 million!"

James nervously extended a finger.

In the previous life, Universal spent $500 million, but that was the copyright fee for the huge success after publication.

It is so popular that one set is sold every 2 seconds on Amazon. It is extremely popular.

However, it is still an online novel and its value cannot be compared with that after it is published.

After hearing this, Fang Hong agreed immediately.

However, he said that the adaptation rights for subsequent serial publications would belong to him.

In other words, no matter how much James writes, as long as it is related to this series, the adaptation rights belong to him, including related ones.

In this way, even if the name of the novel is changed and the subsequent content continues to be written, it will not affect the copyright ownership.

James did not expect this oriental man to be so straightforward. He thought the other party wanted to bargain, so he nodded immediately to show his agreement.

After the negotiation, both parties found a law firm, drafted an agreement, and signed it.

However, the copyright does not belong to Fang Hong, but to the American Jade Rabbit Pictures!

As for the $100 million, it will be paid in full within a month.

Fang Hong had accomplished another thing he had wished for, which was equivalent to at least 10 billion US dollars in his hands.

In the previous life of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series, the total box office of the three films exceeded 10 billion US dollars, which does not include some peripheral income, such as those secretly paid on-demand and streaming media by those old perverts.

It can be said that this series is quite explosive!
After finishing their work, the two found an outdoor milk tea shop.

Liu Tianxian wore sunglasses and sat under a parasol, watching the white people coming and going around her. No one knew her, and she felt rare and relaxed.

In the United States, she is just like an ordinary person.

"A reward for you!"

Fang Hong bought a cup of iced milk tea and placed it on her desk, then sat opposite her.

Liu Tianxian sipped her milk tea and said jokingly, "It's rare for Principal Fang to treat us. I've never seen such a rare occasion."

I negotiated, acted as an interpreter, and taught the two people the rules here, and I was rewarded with a cup of milk tea.

This is the first time I treated her to a drink, how generous!

Not only did I not spend any money to pursue a girl, but I also made her pay several million for me. Come to think of it, I am pretty worthless!
"Do you want to drink it or not? If not, give it back to me." Fang Hong stretched out his hand to grab it, saying in a sarcastic tone.

Liu Tianxian leaned back and said mischievously, "This is mine."

Seeing her cute appearance, Fang Hong was quite relieved. It seemed that his mentality had been elevated after this trip.

It's a rare occasion for the two of them to have the leisure time to hang out.

Fang Hong looked at the beautiful woman opposite him and said, "Yi Fei, do you want to invest in that novel? Otherwise, I'll give you a share. Believe me, you will definitely make money!"

Either he couldn't afford to share the one million, or he wanted to get Liu Tianxian to make money with him.

After all, I have helped him so much here!

"No need, you can just take it, no need to give it to me." Liu Tianxian shook her head.

"Why? Do you dislike the fact that this is a pornographic novel? It's okay. We are only investing and not putting our name on it. Besides, this drama won't be broadcast in China, so no one will find out." Fang Hong said.

"It's not that. It's just that I only make money within my ability and don't invest." Liu Tianxian said.

"Forehead?!"

This made Fang Hong very curious: "You make money, but you haven't invested in anything?"

"Yes, my mother did it, but I didn't." Liu Tianxian said.

These words stunned Fang Hong!
It seems that Liu Tianxian has been in the entertainment industry for decades, just buying houses, luxury cars, and raising cats, and has never made any other investments.

Other celebrities are involved in catering, finance and various investments, but she has no reports in this area.

In her eyes, buying a house is not an investment, but a kind of consumption. Overseas, houses do not have much room for appreciation.

It's amazing. You might say she doesn't love money, but she still does acting, endorsements, public events and activities.

Just make the money you should make, and don’t make the money you shouldn’t make.

Fang Hong also said that he would take Liu Tianxian to buy some Tesla and Nvidia stocks. After all, her money was just sitting there anyway, so let it go.

But this is also good, pure!
