Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 164 Liu Tianxian Bitten by a Dog (Additional Update)

After sending Song Dai out, the two returned to the office.

Liu Tianxian lay on the table, supporting her chin with both hands, looking at Fang Hong who was sitting opposite her: "I'm leaving, will you be happy?"

"Why should I be happy? I can't bear to leave you." Fang Hong had a blank expression.

"No one is watching you every day, and no one is beating you every day. You can let yourself go. How can you not be happy?" Liu Tianxian raised his hand and spoke with emotion.

During this period, she came every day and turned down many press releases, just to downplay the issue between her and Zeng so that it could be resolved peacefully.

To put it bluntly, I'm just idle.

"Then don't leave. I beg you to look after me every day, please." Fang Hong clasped his hands together and bowed.

This made Liu Tianxian laugh, and she pretended: "I'm not your housekeeper, why should I watch over you every day?"

"Ah, Confucius said it well, only women and villains are difficult to raise." Fang Hong sighed.

"What do you mean?" Liu Tianxian was puzzled.

"If you treat her nicer and help her realize her ideals, she will complain about you; if you let her get closer to you, she will become unruly," said Fang Hong.

"Go away, who did you learn that from, really." Liu Tianxian stretched out his hand as if to hit him.

Just say she is a villain.

Fang Hong laughed, then said seriously, "Honestly, be careful when you go there. I heard it's very chaotic over there."

"Okay! I'll just take a look around and come back. I won't stay long." Liu Tianxian nodded.

Southeast Asia is right at our doorstep and not too far away.

This will increase her international fame and get her endorsements from big brands.

Liu Tianxian doesn’t wear so many big brands now, only the French Garnier is quite famous.

The others are some games and domestic clothing brands.

The game was often mocked and scolded by the crowd, who said that she was lowering her status and was being so hungry that she would eat anything.

The two of them chatted and played like this every day. In the afternoon, Fang Hong sent Liu Tianxian home and then went home himself.

The next day, when Fang Hong went to work, Liu Tianxian did not go to Yutu, but drove a red and stylish Ferrari and stopped at his door.

She had promised Fang Hong before that she would come and see him when she had time.

This year, Fang Hong often went to her house, but she never came once.

The door was not closed, so Liu Tianxian pushed it open and walked in. After looking around, she couldn't find anyone. Then she saw Xu Liyun's back in the yard, and she seemed to be digging the soil.

"Auntie!" Liu Tianxian shouted.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Before Xu Liyun turned around after hearing this, Heizi, who was lying beside her with his tongue sticking out, suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Liu Tianxian, roaring wildly.

It looked as if he was going to tear her to pieces.

This frightened Liu Tianxian so much that her face changed. Seeing that the dog was about to bite her, she turned around and tried to run away. It was too fierce.

But how could she possibly outrun a dog?

"You bastard, come back." Xu Liyun pounded the ground with her hoe, making a loud noise.

When Heizi heard his master's voice, he turned around and ran back very quickly. Fortunately, he was called in time, otherwise Liu Tianxian would not be Liu Tianxian.

It was Liu Tianxian who was bitten by a dog.

However, this dog didn't bite people, it just roared. If it really bit people, Xu Liyun would not have been able to shout in time because the dog was too fast.

Liu Tianxian also patted her chest, looking like she was still frightened.

"Yifei, you're here." Xu Liyun put down the hoe and hit Heizi on the head twice.

He has no eyesight at all and bites everyone.

Heizi lay on the ground listlessly, no longer majestic.

Being a dog is not easy. You have to protect your owner and get to know your owner's friends.

Xu Liyun wiped the dirt off her hands, with a kind face, and walked in front of Liu Tianxian: "Yifei, I didn't scare you!"

"I'm fine!"

Liu Tianxian said politely and glanced at the black man behind her. He was too scary. He used to be afraid of her, but now he is not afraid of her at all.

She is completely different from the small and cute girl I saw before. Now she is half my height. Time flies.

She asked again: "What are you doing?"

"It's almost winter, let's plant some chives."

Xu Liyun was also happy to see Liu Tianxian, with a smile on her face: "Come in and sit down, I'll pour you some tea."

"You're so polite. The weather is nice today. I'll come and keep you company." Liu Tianxian said.

"Okay, then I'll change my clothes." Xu Liyun thought they were going shopping.

"no, I'm fine."

Liu Tianxian didn't mind the dirt and took her arm: "Just walk around in this yard. I think the vegetables you grow are very good. It happens that I have never seen how vegetables are grown. Can you teach me?"

The yard is lush and green with all kinds of green vegetables. It is well-maintained and looks very pleasing to the eye.

It can relieve your mood, and you don't need to keep the pace so fast. Fang Hong has a very fast pace.

"Okay!" Xu Liyun was also moved.

While Liu Tianxian was at Fang Hong's house, Fang Hong and Chen Zhixi had already gone to China Film Group to renegotiate the profit sharing.

In other words, they want the same treatment as top directors. Why can those directors and film and television companies whose box office performance isn't as good as theirs get a lower 5%, while Yutu gets a higher 8%.

They have to reach a certain standard to get 6%. Why? Is it because they have received a prize?
You have to know that 16 billion, even if calculated at 8%, Yutu earned 1.28 million for China Film, which is not profit.

China Film's total net profit for the year was only 1.94 million, slightly less than Huayi.

Although the accounts are not calculated in this way and they have their own tasks, it also reflects that state-owned enterprises are not dominated by one company alone.

During the negotiation, Fang Hong vaguely indicated that he would not lower the ratio, so he suggested to learn from Zhang Weiping and go directly to the cinema chain, Wanda or Guangguang, bypassing the distribution.

Of course I can't say it so bluntly, it has to be very tactful.

Everyone is making a fuss now anyway, so it’s okay for Jade Rabbit to make some noise, since she’s not the one leading the charge.

Manager Lei smiled bitterly as he looked at the two people who had been so servile to him in the past and had to go through a lot of trouble to get him to publish their products.

He was such a nice kid before, how come he has become such a snobbish person?

"You should unite and ask the theaters to reduce the ratio, instead of coming to us. Coming to us at this critical juncture, isn't this an internal fight?" Manager Lei was also helpless.

The producers are all united in protesting against the theaters taking too much, but these two are running to find distributors.

The distributor is also considered the producer, so they should be in the same group.

"I didn't want to come either, but I couldn't sleep. The more I thought about it, the more unbalanced I felt. How is Yutu worse than those old film and television companies? How is it worse than those big directors? Why do we have to be treated unfairly?"

Fang Hong looked at Chen Zhixi and blinked at her: "Really?"

"Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time and still can't figure it out. Our Yutu has box office success and production volume, and has never made China Film Group lose money. Every movie has achieved its set goals, so how come its revenue is less than those of big directors?" Chen Zhixi chimed in.

"After all, it all comes down to you guys feeling frustrated!" Manager Lei understood.

"Mr. Lei still understands us." Fang Hong said.

Manager Lei laughed. This guy really knows how to take advantage of others.

Essentially, giving that proportion to big directors means that they are guaranteed to perform well. With their fame, the box office won't be too bad. We hope that they can support Chinese films.

But this is not fair to the new generation of young people.

There's no way, I've been playing like this all along, and it won't be easy to change now.

Fang Hong is also a famous director, nicknamed the Principal. None of his films have lost money in more than a year. All of them have been profitable. To be honest, his qualifications have been lowered.

"How about this, you guys go back first and we'll study it." Manager Lei said.

"How long have you studied this?"

Fang Hongcai didn't believe that Manager Lei could make the decision on his own about what research was needed.

They just want to delay it until the Film Bureau to see what the outcome of the negotiations with the theater chains will be.

But they don’t know that this time the authorities only solved the problem of the release of "The Flowers of War", but did not solve the fundamental problem, and they will have to make a bigger fuss.

That means all distributors and producers boycott theaters.

But this is quite secretive, and people outside the circle basically don’t know about it.

Because later on, there was no Zhang Weiping’s big loudspeaker shouting everywhere.

"I'll inform you of the results soon." Manager Lei is well versed in the art of procrastination.

Fang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Well, I won't make it difficult for you. Let's both take a step back. I don't want the salary of a big director either. You can take 6%, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?" Manager Lei asked subconsciously.

"I have created Tupiaopiao, a ticketing platform. Please ask the managers of the Chinese cinema chains to make some concessions so that Tupiaopiao's ticket machines can be smoothly installed in all cinemas." Fang Hong said.

There are too few BJ's and surrounding cinemas, so we need to expand the area.

"Actually, we also have the ticketing platform you mentioned, called China Film Film Network, and it has been in operation for several years," said Manager Lei.

This is a joint effort between China Film Group and the Projection Association, and Manager Lei is the vice president of the Projection Association.

But not many people knew about this software later.

It's not like capital is burning money everywhere, so who knows about this stuff?

This thing is equivalent to a software that connects all of China Film's cinemas.

"That's great, can I get in?" Fang Hong said.

In this case, it won't be a big deal. Even though the ticketing market is in chaos now, you will need approval if you want to access the national film data platform in the future.

If you have China Film Group, it’s pretty easy.

"Okay, the access fee is 20 yuan per year." Manager Lei said.

Many external ticketing platforms are connected to the China Film Group's software, so third parties don't have to worry about it. Ticketing can be directly connected to all cinemas under China Film Group, which is a very simple thing.

"You, you are asking me for such a small amount of money!" Fang Hong looked at the man suspiciously.

"You're just haggling over just one or two percentage points of profit, yet you're still nitpicking with me." Manager Lei also looked at him suspiciously.

The old man and the young man looked at each other strangely.

　It's over tonight, adjust your schedule and go to sleep
