Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 152: Movie Protection (asking for monthly tickets and rewards)

After participating in Happy Camp, Liu Tianxian continued to promote the show as usual.

Li Xian and Zhao Xiaodao also joined in.

This time Liu Tianxian and the other two are running together, to show their faces, to gain some fame, and to get their brokerage business started.

As for the director and producer, they are all busy with national affairs.

Fang Hong spun off Tu Piaopiao and operated it as an independent company, of course, as Jade Rabbit Company.

Currently, it is wholly owned by Yutu.

At the end of September, the American film "The Conjuring" was finally completed and entered the post-production stage. The filming took two or three months.

"The Purge 1" is being filmed before it's even released.

Yu Xian was also extremely tired. Damn, he hadn't had a rest since he came to the United States. He was either filming a movie or on his way to film a movie. Fang Gou treated him like an animal.

He was also asked to turn on the music of English Rose, but he simply didn't have the time.

There are so many shitty things going on that I haven’t even spent the money I saved.

Fang Hong gave him three million US dollars, equivalent to more than 20 million, which is still gathering dust in the bank.

There's no way, I don't have time to go out and have fun.

"You ask me to make movies every day, and now you assign me tasks. I am a human being, not a dog." Yu Xian complained on the phone.

It's good enough for others to make one film a year, but he has made three in a row and wants to make more.

"Don't worry. This time it's a low-budget project and very simple. You can just use a DV to shoot it. The cost is $35. You can be the producer and find someone else to shoot it." Fang Hong spoke quickly.

What he was going to shoot was "The Gallows", a low-budget horror film in the form of a documentary.

The fundamental reason for making this film was that movies were released too slowly, the cost was too high, and there was not enough money.

Let me give this low-budget film a thumbs up first.

If you make a bigger movie, it will require an investment of several million or tens of millions of dollars, and the money must be spent upfront.

To put it bluntly, there is no money.

Fang Hong pulled his balls too tightly.

"It's also very tiring to find someone to shoot. Do I need to prepare? Do I need to keep an eye on it? I'm still doing the post-production of "The Conjuring" now." Yu Xian complained.

"Oh, Mr. Yu, I'm in a difficult situation now. I'm criticized by everyone every day. It's not easy for me. Please just try harder." Fang Hong advised.

Chen Zhixi on the opposite side listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but laugh. He was a very awesome person, but now he had fallen to the point of asking for help from others!
"If you are criticized by one person, I can understand that the other person is an idiot, but if you are criticized by many people, shouldn't you look for the reasons in yourself?" Yu Xian taught.

I was always taught a lesson by Fang Hong in the past, and now I have the chance!
"I thought someone as awesome as you could dominate the domestic entertainment industry." Fang Hong said.

"You think too highly of me." Yu Xian said.

"Of course I think highly of you. You are my backbone. Whether my back is strong or not depends on you. If you slack off, I will collapse. If I collapse, will you still be better off?" Fang Hong said very logically.

"It seems you can't do it without me!" Yu Xian was proud.

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. It's all thanks to Brother Yu's protection." Fang Hong complimented.

These words satisfied Yu Xian's vanity greatly. It seemed that his brother really couldn't stand it, otherwise this wouldn't have happened.

Of course, I was secretly happy in my heart: "Well, since you are in trouble, I will work hard and be your strong backing."

"Yes, yes, that's right. I'll hang up first and not disturb you, Brother Yu. The script and storyboards will be sent to your email." Fang Hong said.

"Wait, I still have three million. You're in financial difficulty, so why don't you take it first?" Yu Xian still supported Fang Hong's arrogance.

If his brother has face, he will have face too. When he returns to the domestic entertainment industry in the future, he can directly become a godfather.

"No, just take the flowers yourself!"

Fang Hong hung up the phone.

How could he have the nerve to take the money that other people worked so hard to save and didn't spend?

"The Gallows" is a pseudo-DV documentary. To put it bluntly, it is a movie made with a little art direction and some photography techniques.

The story is very empty, just scary.

It’s similar to the previous “Paranormal Activity”, but that one was very fresh and I got to try it for the first time.

Those who followed suit didn’t perform as well.

After talking with Yu Xian, Fang Hong looked at Chen Zhixi who was laughing so hard across from him: "What are you laughing at? Is it really that funny?"

"I didn't expect you would be so servile sometimes." Chen Zhixi said with a smile.

"It's all for you. Why did you think of investing in that drama at that time?" Fang Hong said.

"I made the decision because I thought there was money to be made. Who knew you would do something like that or set up some small website and spend so much money." Chen Zhixi also complained.

She had previously invested in the TV series "Beijing Love Story" under the name of Yutu.

She already knew Chen Sicheng. They were both from the Central Academy of Drama, one from the class of 99 and the other from the class of 00. It was like they met each other in the same school.

"How would I know that you also invest in TV series produced by other people?" Fang Hong said.

I have always made them myself before.

"What you said means that I am acting on my own. As we agreed, I have the right to decide what to shoot in a film or TV show." Chen Zhixi spread his hands.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. There's nothing wrong with your investment." Fang Hong has been busy with planning recently and hasn't cared about the film and television business at all.

Film and television have always been handed over to Chen Zhixi.

"I snatched this project from Xinli, and it took a lot of effort." Chen Zhixi still complained.

Fang Hong didn't say anything. Which TV show or movie was particularly profitable? Chen Zhixi was just fulfilling his duties and seizing the opportunity when there was something good. In essence, Fang Hong was doing it according to his memories of his previous life. He had forgotten many movies and TV shows.

Of course I can still remember it if I think about it carefully, but I am too busy to do it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Chen Zhixi spend 3 million to buy up the copyright IPs, just for fear that some would slip through the net.

I almost missed "Beijing Love Story"!
Chen Sicheng is a talented person.

In his career, apart from celebrities, Fang Hong does not care about other people's personal morality, but only whether they can make money for him.

"What stage is this project at?"

"The filming is almost finished, and the third phase of investment will be coming soon." Chen Zhixi said.

That means it's time to spend money again.

Fang Hong called Yu Xian to ask him about money, as he had been spending too much money recently.

He doesn't even dare to start more film and television projects for fear that they will all collapse, which would be no fun.

"Well, let's finish this," he said.

It is estimated that "The Gallows" will be released in a month.

That play can be filmed just by finding good actors and a good scene. No preparation or equipment is needed.

The release of "The Conjuring" won't be that soon!
Anyway, it can last for a while, and "Bad Genius" will be released soon.

"By the way, let me tell you something." Chen Zhixi was about to get up and leave, but sat down again.

"what's up?"

"It seems like the one from your family is causing trouble again. It would have been great to promote the movie properly, but now she's been involved in a lesbian relationship and the whole direction has gone astray." Chen Zhixi was a little dissatisfied.

She was the one behind the promotion of the movie, and she didn't understand Liu Tianxian's behavior.

This girl looks quite smart, how come she became so stupid?

"You said Liu Tianxian is a lesbian?"

Fang Hong was surprised and pointed at himself: "Then what am I?"

"Who knows, you can experience a threesome." Chen Zhixi clapped his hands and laughed.

This is a ridiculous joke!

But the two of them are very familiar with each other, so it doesn't matter.

"What's going on?" Fang Hong didn't find it funny.

"Read it yourself. I can't explain it to you clearly." Chen Zhixi took out his mobile phone, opened an article and handed it to him.

The news item dug into the details of how Liu Tianxian and Zeng Yike met and knew each other, and even included screenshots of her saying "I miss you" on Happy Camp, which was interpreted in an unwarranted way.

There are also some photos taken from the perspective of passers-by when going out to play, eating out, and watching movies together.

Through these interpretations, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is not normal.

"It's nothing, they're just best friends at most. Isn't that how it is between girls?" Fang Hong thought it was normal.

Zhang Liangying was like this with Liu Tianxian before. Liu Tianxian is very nice to her friends, very generous, and she also likes to have fun.

"It's nothing, but what if this person was gay? Do you think it's nothing?" Chen Zhixi said.

"Who told you that?" Fang Hong asked back.

"It was revealed a long time ago. A few years ago, when she participated in Super Girl, she forcibly kissed a girl. At that time, some media said that she was a lesbian." Chen Zhixi said.

Damn, Fang Hong pulled up Zeng Yike's photo to see what she looked like. He had only heard of her as an 18th-tier actress.

She dressed in a neutral style like a boy and indeed had that tendency. She looked at the information and then threw the phone to Chen Zhixi.

"I don't believe it. She has had a boyfriend."

"Even so, could it be double X?" Chen Zhixi guessed.

Fang Hong thought about it and was not sure. This kind of person dressed so neutrally, and might be somewhat abnormal psychologically.

He waved his hand: "Hey, don't make random guesses."

"Actually, whether she is or not is not the point. The point is that she is related to your Liu Tianxian. The opponents think she is, and by the way, your Liu Tianxian is also one. This is the point." Chen Zhixi said seriously.

In other words, it doesn’t matter what kind of relationship the two of them have. The key point is that their enemies think they have that kind of relationship and hype it up to tell the public.

If not handled properly, Liu Tianxian might fall from the altar.

Sex is wrong! It has always been a taboo, especially for public figures like female stars. If you are an ordinary person, no one will care about you.

It is equivalent to leading fans and the public astray, as their own influence is too great.

Fang Hong was a little annoyed: "Is the public opinion situation serious now?"

"Not big, but you have to be careful. This is a solid handle in the hands of others. We have no control over when to play this card." Chen Zhixi said.

"Never mind her. Let's suppress it and save the movie first. She has her own company and doesn't worry about it herself, so why should we worry about it?" Fang Hong waved his hand and made the decision immediately.

Let’s make money first. If you can’t make money, everything is empty talk!
As for Liu Tianxian’s personal affairs, I don’t know the details yet. I’ll talk about it after I know the details.

In other words, he wants to deal with Liu Tianxian and the movie separately!

"Suppressing it won't solve the problem, it will soon flare up again. It's better to change the situation and cover it up with another incident and wait until the movie is released." Chen Zhixi also has this attitude and wants to protect the movie.

Method thought for a moment and said, "Help me make an appointment with Wang Changtian."
