Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 127 Leg Bang (Add more chapters for the godfathers, asking for monthly tickets and rewards)

"Fleeting Time" is just a low-budget film, so Fang Hong is not too interested in it.

He is focusing on a movie with a budget of over 30 million, namely "Big Shot", which was shot by the company's own team.

There are city car racing scenes in the movie, the kind where cars crash wildly. It was a good opportunity for the behind-the-scenes team who had just completed training and the special effects team who had participated in Hollywood visual effects to practice, and also for Fang Hong to practice at the same time.

His level isn't that good!

Of course, he was assigned two assistant directors, Guo Fan and Wen Mu, who later became great directors, to help him.

Guo Fan has just entered this industry. He has co-produced a small flop movie and is still a small fry.

He was also a member of the later young and middle-aged group, that is, the same group as Xu Guangtou, Chen Sicheng, and Wu Jing.

The main actors of "Big Shot" are Zhang Songwen and Fang Hong.

Zhang Songwen plays the decent guy, that is, the policeman; Fang Hong plays the villain, that is, the rich second-generation playboy.

In fact, Fang Hong didn't really want to play the role, but after looking around, he found that there were no young actors who were handsome enough to play the villain.

In other words, there are no professional villains!

It would be fine if Chou Zhaolong and Shan Liwen were a few decades younger, but they are old now.

These young male actors in the domestic entertainment industry have too heavy filters. They all look very decent and have good personalities, so it is rare to find someone who can play a professional villain.

Then Fang Hong would have to do the role himself. After all, he had experienced the life of rich people, and he himself was not a good person. He could act in his true colors and had no pressure in doing so.

In fact, this play is essentially to promote Zhang Songwen. Yutu needs its own actor who can take the leading role as a face to let people in the circle know that they are capable of promoting people.

In other words, Yutu will be shooting two dramas at the same time, which will put a lot of financial pressure on Yutu.

The total investment is 5500 million yuan, of which "So Young" is 1500 million yuan and "Big Shot" is 4000 million yuan.

"Big Shot" will be filmed in Shanghai, so the investment is huge!
The scale of filming is no longer as small as before, with only a few dozen people needed. There are at least 200 people behind the scenes and among extras. Even a low-budget film will have so many people.

And it’s not just a friendly price anymore. The pay of all the behind-the-scenes staff has at least doubled compared to when they filmed “Love Is Not Blind”.

In other words, the cost is increasing infinitely.

But the reason why there was no increase is that Yutu saved money on filming equipment and no longer needed to rent filming equipment from others. This part of the money is being infinitely compressed.

In addition, the actors' pay is not high. It is impossible for them to receive tens of millions of dollars.

The maximum salary for a leading actor in a movie cannot exceed three million.

It's not just Yutu that's priced this way, it's the same price in the industry. It may be higher than this, but not much higher. Movie pay is generally lower than TV pay.

The actors used in the Jade Rabbit movie are not big names, so there is no need to pay them such high salaries.

Movies are a place to build your image; TV is a place to make money from fans.

This time, another 5500 million was spent, which put the company under tremendous financial pressure. In addition, a TV series "Legend of Lu Zhen" was also to be launched, with a production cost of about 3000 million.

In other words, 8500 yuan has to be spent, and Yutu's eggs are tightly broken.

This requires good turnover, spending a little here and a little there, so that there will be no collapse.

Because whether it is a movie or a TV show, the money is not spent all at once. The production period of a movie can be divided into multiple batches for several months in the early, middle and late stages.

So this time is infinitely extended.

However, "Legend of Lu Zhen" was not filmed by Yutu's crew, but was filmed in Hengdian, outsourced to a local crew.

The actors are Zhao Xiaodao and Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao had just left Huayi and was said to have jumped out of a car, but it was said that Fang Hong didn't see it.

But Fang Hong likes to promote young actors from Huayi!
The directors of this drama are several Hong Kong directors found by Chen Zhixi. Two of them are Liang Guoguan and Li Huizhu, both of whom have filmed "My Date with a Vampire" for ATV.

The shooting methods of movies and TV are different. TV series are too long, so what matters is telling the story well. Whether the story can be told well or not depends largely on the screenwriter.

This is also the reason why TV shows are divided into two or three directors, or four or five directors are divided into groups to shoot, and then edited together in post-production without affecting the story.

The director plays a coordinating role, which is to film the story as required without having to express his own ideas.

Even changing the director midway through filming is fine!
In other words, television is the art of screenwriting, not the art of directing. If you don’t do it, there are plenty of people who will do it!

It’s different with movies. The same script, the same actors, but different directors may produce completely different results.

This is also the reason why TV directors who switch to film directors are likely to fail.

He was busy until the afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly. Fang Hong came to Liu Tianxian's big villa with a bag in his hand.

You have to balance both love and career!

This was Fang Hong's first time to come to Liu Tianxian's house in summer. The last time he came was winter, and there was snow everywhere, so there was no scenery to see.

This time I came to see it again. The villa is full of green plants and flourishing flowers. The scenery is very pleasant and the view is great. It’s just that the weather is too hot.

In a glass house, Liu Tianxian had her hair casually tied up, no makeup on her face, and was wearing an ugly grandma-style shirt. Fang Hong wondered if she was wearing her mother's clothes.

She squatted on the ground, surrounded by many kittens, meowing.

Fang Hong walked over and knocked on the glass "dong dong dong".

Liu Tianxian looked up, saw the person coming, pointed at the door over there, and motioned him to come in.

Fang Hong searched for a while before he found a door to enter the glass room. The temperature inside was constant, neither cold nor hot, and it led directly to the villa.

It’s good to have money. You can have a villa, a cat, and air conditioning.

"What are you talking about? My mother is not at home." Liu Tianxian held the kitten, thinking it was a gift.

"This is not for your mother, this is for you. Aren't you injured? I brought you some medicine." Fang Hong squatted down, looking quite concerned. Liu Tianxian was depressed, how could she still remember it?

If I had known this earlier, I would not have teased this man and would have just said that I was fine.

This man cares about her, and she can't refuse, nor can she not refuse.

What she didn't know was that Fang Hong was afraid that he wouldn't be able to perform difficult positions in his future sex life, which would be troublesome.

"I'm fine. I'm fine now," she said.

The man's concerns must be dispelled, otherwise he will always feel that she is involved.

"really?"

Fang Hong looked at her lower body with a look of suspicion.

Seeing her like this, Liu Tianxian stood up and tapped her feet: "Look, it's okay."

She looked fashionable in her ripped jeans.

Fang Hong discovered that Liu Tianxian liked wearing jeans very much, and she usually wore jeans every time they met.

"I don't believe you. Show me how to do a split."

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Liu Tianxian looked at him unhappily.

"No, I won't feel relieved until you prove that you are okay. Otherwise, I will always be worried about you." Fang Hong said seriously.

Liu Tianxian casually threw the cat in her hand, and the kitten jumped and landed steadily.

Then she pushed Fang Hong against the glass wall, raised her legs high, split them, placed them on the glass above his shoulders, and did a split kick.

She stretched her legs and moved closer, her face serious: "Do you believe it now?"

Fang Hong admired the posture from top to bottom. He was indeed a martial artist. It was very powerful and he became hard unconsciously.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liu Tianxian was about to put down her legs, but Fang Hong put his arm around her waist and the two of them got closer again.

"What are you doing?" Liu Tianxian looked at him.

"I just want to see how long you can last." Fang Hong said shamelessly.

"roll!"

Liu Tianxian simply put her legs down and refused to listen to his nonsense.

The method was somewhat uninterested: "What should I do with the medicine? I have already bought it."

"give it to me."

Liu Tianxian took it, so it’s better not to let it down.

She took out the medicine from the bag and looked at it. They were all painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, which was quite thoughtful.

Putting the medicine on the cabinet next to him, Liu Tianxian picked up a gray cat and asked, "Do you like kittens?"

"I like it and I don't like it!" Fang Hong said beside her.

"What do you mean?" Liu Tianxian turned and looked at him.

"If I have to face it every day and clean its poop, I won't like it. I can't even take care of it myself, so how can I take care of it? If I see it sometimes and touch and play with it, I still like it very much." Fang Hong said.

Just like children, playing occasionally is nice and cute, but it becomes annoying if it continues for a long time.

"How impatient you are." Liu Tianxian said.

"I've used up all my patience with you, and I can't give it to others." Fang Hong spoke sweet words without thinking.

Liu Tianxian held the cat in both hands and suddenly moved towards his mouth.

Fang Hong dodged subconsciously and almost kissed the cat.

“Hahaha, it’s not dirty.”

Liu Tianxian was like a lunatic. She kissed the cat mouth to mouth and rubbed her face against it.

The kitten meowed in protest.

"Even if it's not dirty, there will be bacteria!" Fang Hong said.

"No, it's sterilized."

Liu Tianxian handed the kitten to him: "It's very clean."

Fang Hong didn't say anything. Anyway, he didn't like kissing animals so intimately.

But you wouldn't be jealous of a cat.

He took the kitten, smoothed its fur heavily, and kneaded its skin.

The kitten meowed in pain and struggled continuously.

"Can you be a little gentler? Your hand is so heavy." Liu Tianxian hit him and asked him to let the kitten go.

"I thought it liked it this way." Fang Hong said shamelessly.

The two of them played with the cat and chatted, and in the evening, Fang Hong left.

After all, you can't stay together forever, you have to fall in love with someone over time.
