Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 112: Stupid (Please vote and reward)

Liu Tianxian did what she thought, without being pretentious, and directly called Fang Hong.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm preparing to return home, what about you?" Fang Hong asked back.

The two of them were there during the day and at night, Liu Tianxian's side was at night, and Fang Hong's side was during the day.

"I just came back from Korea after doing promotions, and I also took on a commercial for the game A Chinese Ghost Story. Let me tell you, the makeup I put on in that commercial was so magical."

Liu Tianxian talked about what he had done recently.

The tone was not as heavy as expected, as if he was not affected by the recent turmoil.

It’s not like I haven’t been scolded before, so what’s the big deal!
Fang Hong just listened quietly, and after listening, he said: "Then send me all those photos, and I will appreciate them too."

"You haven't seen enough of the real person, what's so good about the photo!" Liu Tianxian said.

"I can't get enough of it. I'm also your fan and I need your pictures to satisfy my spiritual needs."

Fang Hong joked that it felt like he was driving.

But what he said was too obscure, and Liu Tianxian didn't understand: "Don't come on, I don't believe you are my fan."

Fans are the kind of people who worship and are obsessed with her, and can get carried away easily. But when this man is with her, his mind is mostly clear.

"Then what should I be to you?" Fang Hong asked with a smile.

Liu Tianxian really thought about it carefully, and after a pause, she said, "Best friend, a male best friend."

"Is that so? Male best friends aren't that good. They haven't met my goal." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian understood what he said, and she said, "Then you should look for the reason yourself and see if you have worked hard over the years."

“I have tried very hard, but I am still a rookie. I should practice more.” Fang Hong reflected on himself.

"Giggle."

Liu Tianxian was amused by him.

The two chatted happily on the phone, and Liu Tianxian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and not so heavy anymore.

Those public opinions will not have much impact on her now, but will only make her reflect on her own lack of ability.

Liu Tianxian began to speak from her heart: "Fang Hong, I feel that my ability is always insufficient. I want to do well but always fail. I don't know what to do."

I began to question myself and felt confused!

“No one’s success comes overnight, and neither does mine. It takes experience to grow. Take your time, and don’t rush!”

Fang Hong also knew that she was working on "A Chinese Ghost Story".

That movie is really bad in all aspects!

"I understand what you said, but I have tried a lot but have not been able to break through the inherent image of me. I feel that I am useless." Liu Tianxian said sadly.

This is about wanting to break your own filter.

Fang Hong didn't know what to say. He was against Liu Tianxian breaking the filter because that would mean they would have to shoot a kissing scene and take off their clothes.

But he didn't want to oppose it too radically. After all, this was Liu Tianxian's ideal and what she had been working hard to do.

"I've said before, as long as you think about the role carefully and have someone to guide you, you will not be worse than others and you will be able to grow up slowly. Previous events have proved this." Fang Hong advised.

Liu Tianxian recalled that there were indeed very few criticisms for the two films he had shot before, but that was because the entire team was serving her.

The screenwriter served her, the people behind the scenes also served her, and director Fang Hong guided her throughout the whole process, so she was able to perform well.

"Yes, you are right. I am no worse than anyone else."

Liu Tianxian took a deep breath and learned from Fang Hong to have self-confidence.

The two talked a lot that night, and Liu Tianxian was not troubled by this matter for long. She just felt uncomfortable when she talked about it, but the desire to break through and break the filter was still there.

In a cafe, Fang Hong met a man named Yao Qi, a top visual effects artist.

He works and studies in Los Angeles and has previously produced special effects blockbusters such as "2012", "The Matrix 3", and "Catwoman".

This experience is very rich and I can lead a team directly.

The two had chatted indirectly several times before. This time Fang Hong was leaving and had no time, so he wanted to dig him back to China.

The waiter put down two cups of coffee, Fang Hong gestured for him to drink, and then asked: "Where is Mr. Yao working now?"

"I'm at Sony Pictures Graphics Operations, in the special effects management department." Yao Qi said after taking a sip of coffee.

This guy is quite handsome and looks a bit like Xia Yu.

"Mr. Yao, let me be frank with you. After all, I will be returning to China soon and I don't have much time left." Fang Hong went straight to the point.

Yao Qi nodded and motioned for him to speak.

"If you come to my company to do special effects, I will give you an annual salary of one million. Of course, this is the minimum wage level. There will also be bonuses and the salary will increase depending on the situation in the future." Fang Hong was very straightforward.

Yao Qi opened his eyes slightly. This level was higher than what he got at Sony, where the highest annual salary was only 80.

That is the range of 60 to 80 RMB!
"I just don't know the size of Fang's company?"

"It's just a small company that's in the development stage. I can give you this level of salary because I'm planning to expand it. At present, you will definitely have to work hard to lead the team." Fang Hong's words were very clear.

The next person over here is the head of the special effects department.

Yao Qi lowered his head to think for a while, and expressed his concerns: "To be honest, Mr. Fang, the current domestic market size does not allow for special effects. If it can't last long, I still don't want to go. I want something more stable."

In other words, I want to stay in one place for a long time, have a stable job, and don’t want to job-hop everywhere.

What if you stop playing after a year or two and then have to find a job again?

"How about this!"

Fang Hong thought for a moment and said: "If you come over, I will give you an extra one million as resettlement fee, which is equivalent to the cost of your trial and error.

But let me say this in advance. I will give you this money after you have been employed by my company for one year. That means one year’s salary plus bonus plus resettlement allowance, you will get more than two million.”

He sounded quite sincere in what he said, and Yao Qi also knew that people were wary of him. What if you join the company for two days, work for two days, and then run away with the money?
"Okay, since Mr. Fang is so sincere, I won't be pretentious anymore. Once I have arranged everything here, I will go to China to find you." Yao Qi nodded in agreement without thinking too much.

Two million is equivalent to his salary for several years, which is enough for the cost of trial and error.

He had concerns before, mainly because he had finally established himself in Hollywood, and returning to China to waste a few years would have a big impact on him.

But as long as the money is enough, all problems are not problems. This is capital, which can directly destroy a person's persistence.

The two men reached an agreement and shook hands.

Things in the United States are basically done, and Yu Xian just needs to shoot "The Purge" step by step.

He is probably familiar with the process here, so as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, there will be no problem. As for "Annabelle", it will be released normally.

Fang Hong gave him 20 dollars and asked him to rent a house here and settle down.

This time when he came to the United States, Fang Hong brought 700 million dollars, spent 650 million dollars on making the movie, and spent to dollars on food, accommodation, and hiring lawyers.

There were almost two hundred thousand dollars left, and I gave it all to him!
"I feel like I can't stand on my own without you now." Yu Xian was a little confused.

It would be fine if I were in China, but abroad I really don’t know anyone and everything seems unfamiliar.

Fang Hong grabbed his back and moved closer, staring at him sharply: "From now on, you will be the one in charge of the United States. Work hard and don't let me down."

Yu Xian looked at his eyes, as if he was infected, and nodded firmly.

"Here, I have a favor to ask of you. Please keep an eye out for animators who have production capabilities, and collect their information for me." Fang Hong instructed.

It’s not that domestic animators are not good enough, but what he wants to find is animation producers who conform to European and American aesthetic concepts and produce animations for foreigners to watch.

The most profitable areas for animation are overseas and peripheral products. The domestic peripheral market is terrible and has been terrible for many years. There is no future!
Yu Xian said that he understood. He had been with Fang Hong for so long, coloring for him every day, and knew that he had a lot of drawings in his hands.

He had asked Fang Hong before why he drew so many pictures, and he said he was making them into animations.

It seemed unreliable at the time, but now it seems that it is being realized step by step.

"gone!"

The two men punched each other, and from then on, all the business on the American side was handed over to Yu Xian.

Although U.S. Yutu seems to be nothing and a shell company, the copyright of all films to be shot in the United States belongs to this company.

The Conjuring series, Fifty Shades of Grey series, The Purge series, and many other original copyrights have all been transferred to this company.

It can be said that as long as the US Yutu opens up and develops, it will be faster and more terrifying than the domestic Yutu.

Because the market is large, copyright is standardized, and there are unlimited channels, this is incomparable to the domestic content market.

But he just regarded this place as a blood transfusion station for his industrial chain layout.

Without a blood transfusion station, the layout cannot be completed!

In early May, Fang Hong took a flight this time, instead of returning to Beijing, he went directly to Hong Kong to film "Bad Genius"!
After spending two months in the United States, I set foot on Chinese soil again. Seeing yellow people everywhere and Chinese advertising characters everywhere, I suddenly felt a sense of closeness.

When you walk on the streets abroad, you see either white people or black people. The advertisements and bus stops are all in English, which feels very unfamiliar.

Since Fang Hong's films have never been released in Hong Kong, people here are not familiar with him.

Even if it has been released, you won’t be familiar with it. People become famous through marketing, not just one or two movies.

Without marketing, people will forget who you are once the hype wears off, and movies don’t flatter people.

Ask Ekin Cheng to cut his hair and walk on the streets in mainland China, and see how many people recognize him.

"Beijing Meets Seattle" has been completed and entered post-production, so the team can move over to shoot "Bad Genius"!
The photographers, artists and other people behind the scenes are also working very hard. They have to work over here after finishing one job.

However, the production team of the Jade Rabbit Project needs to be expanded, which means that multiple dramas will be produced simultaneously in the future.

In addition, cultivate a high-quality team that can shoot blockbuster films!
It’s not right to always shoot these low-budget films. We must make well-made films so that we are not controlled by others.

But in addition to talent, what is needed to make a well-made movie is equipment. After "Annabelle" is released and we have money, we will order a batch of professional filming equipment from the United States.

"Hey!"

Liu Tianxian put her arms around Fang Hong's neck, like a brother, without any shyness at all.

She is the heroine of "Bad Genius" and is still in China, so she arrived in Hong Kong just in time to pick up Fang Hong.

The movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been released for more than half a month, and her promotional mission has been completed.

As for the box office performance, it has nothing to do with her!
Hong Kong International Airport is on Lantau Island, which is an outlying island. It is a very remote place. The two had already walked out of the airport and were walking on the remote airport road.

Fang Hong turned his head and looked at Liu Tianxian's face. She had smooth skin, wore large sunglasses, and had long flowing hair that looked very beautiful.

Because they were so close, I could see that the other person’s lips were peeling again!
Fang Hong said coldly: "Why are you so affectionate? Do you and I know each other well?"

"Are you looking for a fight?" Liu Tianxian had a smile on her face, but she immediately pulled it down.

"Just kidding, don't take it so seriously."

Fang Hong smiled ingratiatingly.

Liu Tianxian rolled her eyes at him. Would she feel uncomfortable if she didn't say something back to him?

"Hey, the skin on your lips seems to be peeling. Let me peel it off for you." Fang Hong looked carefully and raised his hand.

"No, I'll do it myself!"

Liu Tianxian opened his hands and started tearing them apart herself.

"You can't keep tearing each other apart like this. You should find a boyfriend to lubricate you." Fang Hong said seriously.

"Who am I looking for? You!" Liu Tianxian looked at him.

Since she was wearing sunglasses, Fang Hong couldn't see her expression: "Sure, I can take on this role with some difficulty."

"Okay, let's moisten one." Liu Tianxian pouted.

Fang Hong was not used to being so relaxed.

But based on the principle of not licking it if it's not worth it, I have to kiss it.

"Snapped!"

Just as the two were about to get closer, Liu Tianxian slapped him in the face: "You are so beautiful."

The slap was not heavy, just like a push.

"I knew you weren't that kind-hearted. Sure enough, our feelings have grown cold." Fang Hong was very disappointed and sad.

Liu Tianxian found his expression funny, so she leaned in close and kissed him on the face: "Is it light or not?"

Fang Hong was very surprised. Touching the place that had been kissed, he really didn't expect Liu Tianxian to be so proactive.

But he quickly reacted: "It's too light, give it another shot, it needs to be moist."

"Then pout your lips!" Liu Tianxian said.

Fang Hong pouted his lips high, waiting to be moisturized.

Liu Tianxian pecked him on the mouth with her hand: "You are so stupid, just pout when I tell you to!"

Sometimes this man is quite cute.

"My lips are already pouting, and you actually do this to me?" Fang Hong was unhappy.
