Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 179: Unemployment
As subtitles appeared on the big screen, the cinema lights came on.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was warm applause at the scene!
The applause was first initiated by professionals, such as film critics, media commentators, etc.

Next come the celebrity artists and finally the audience.

If you want to say that this movie has any connotation, the answer is none. It's just fun to watch.

In fact, this is enough. A good movie is one that tells the story clearly, allows people to empathize with the movie, and makes people feel comfortable after watching it.

The applause was quite enthusiastic, proving that the movie was well made. It's not an arty film that makes people think, but it's just enjoyable.

In fact, the movie combines the essence of the Chinese and Korean versions. For example, the Korean version does not have the famous line: "Tonight's consumption, Mr. Zhao will pay for it."

The Chinese version did not feature the masses of the people.

In other words, there was no sense of participation and immersion, and this version was filmed.

Fang Hong, Zhang Songwen, Liu Tianxian and other main creators walked to the front and bowed to the audience to express their gratitude.

A middle-aged man stood up and said, "I am a Weibo movie critic. I would like to ask the principal, what was your mood when you created such a character?"

"In fact, it is not difficult to create such a role. Everyone has a devil in their heart. Everyone envies the life of the rich second generation. I just released what I envy and the devil in my heart."

Fang Hong added while holding the microphone: "Don't get me wrong, I am not that kind of person."

"Hahaha!"

There was laughter at the scene.

Liu Tianxian glanced at the man next to her. If he was not restrained, she wondered if this man would release a demon.

This man used to be very cruel. Although he was nice to everyone, he actually didn't care what others thought.

"You mean you didn't hit anyone." This guy is gossiping.

"I hit someone, and it was Zeng the Shorty who deserved it. There is another truth to this matter."

Fang Hong said this, and then stopped: "Let's just talk about movies today, next one."

He doesn't want public opinion to be misled, so this part will be deleted.

A middle-aged woman stood up and said, "Excuse me, Liu Tianxian, why did you play such a cameo role? This is seriously inconsistent with your identity and personality."

"First of all, I don't have a character. I just think this role is challenging and can break through myself. Every role is meaningful to me and is an experience. It doesn't matter whether it's a guest appearance or not."

Liu Tianxian took the microphone from Fang Hong.

This was a very well-spoken statement, which avoided controversy over his status and also made clear his ideal of breaking his persona and becoming a good actor.

The audience then asked Zhang Songwen some questions, all about the character.

"."

"This movie will be released tomorrow, December 12th. Please give your support." Chen Zhixi said holding the microphone.

The premiere ended here and was over.

As for how the box office will perform, Fang Hong has no idea. He can only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

In the hotel box, Fang Hong, Mao Yu, Li Meijing, Liu Tianxian and Chen Zhixi had a meal at a round table.

People come from far away, they still have to eat.

Liu Tianxian was mainly here to accompany Fang Hong and didn't have to attend the cocktail party.

"Mr. Fang, this movie is well made, and it's similar to the old Hong Kong movies." Mao Yu put down his chopsticks.

This film captures the essence of Hong Kong films, but also has its own twists. It's not the heroic type of Hong Kong films where one person fights a group of people.

Instead, it depicts the current situation of three social classes: the upper class of rich second-generations, the middle-class police, and the lower-class migrant workers.

Every character has meaning!

"Then I'd like to ask Mr. Mao to help promote it when he returns." Fang Hong said.

"It should."

Mao Yu nodded, and then asked, "When will the film "Cold War" be launched?"

It was agreed before that "Cold War" would be produced in collaboration with Silver Metro, and the agency rights for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia would be given to Silver Metro.

"You can discuss this with Mr. Chen. I won't take care of the details." Fang Hong said.

Chen Zhixi extended his hand to Mao Yu and said, "Hello, Mr. Mao, I am the president of Yutu, and I am in charge of this project."

"Hello there!"

The two shook hands and got to know each other.

The project will be connected later. Previously, there was only such an intention but no detailed charter.

Fang Hong picked up the wine glass and said to Liu Tianxian, "Come, have a drink."

"Don't you want to drink?"

Liu Tianxian raised her glass and clinked it with his.

"I like drinking with you." Fang Hong said.

"You want to get me drunk so you can have a chance? I tell you, you can't get me drunk." Liu Tianxian said playfully, as if she saw through his thoughts. "Then how did you get drunk last time?" Fang Hong said.

It was after the last conversation with Wang Changtian that Liu Tianxian got drunk and Fang Hong sent her home.

"That time." Liu Tianxian thought for a moment and found an excuse: "I was not in good condition that time."

"Drinking depends on your state!" Fang Hong didn't quite understand.

"Of course I have seen it. There is a saying that goes, 'It's not the wine that makes you drunk, it's people who make you drunk.'" Liu Tianxian said as a matter of course.

Fang Hong looked at her seriously, and Liu Tianxian looked at him.

Just as the two of them were exchanging glances, Li Meijing interrupted: "Mr. Fang, do you need any brokerage business?"

"What do you mean?" Fang Hong looked at her.

"I just want to transfer two Korean artists to China for development. The contract will be signed under your company, and we will share the profits." Li Mijing said it very directly.

She thinks this is a money-making business, and that it is a trend for Korean artists to develop in China, which is also good for Yutu.

It was originally recommended by celebrities with strong professional abilities.

"Oh, I may not be able to help you with this. Maybe you don't know, my company has been banned by major companies, and my own artist management is struggling." Fang Hong said.

He has no intention of competing with Korean entertainment companies for the market here. Even if it is profitable, and even if he doesn't want to do it and there are plenty of people who will do it, he won't do it.

In other words, don't be the one who invites a wolf into the house. It's not like he can't earn back the money, so why bother!
"That's it."

Li Meijing really didn't know about this. He thought Yutu was developing quite well.

But how could anyone tell her about the ban? This was something that was tacitly understood within the circle.

"You can ask about this. I am not lying." Fang Hong added.

"I didn't say Mr. Fang lied, but I expressed regret." Li Meijing said.

"I feel very sorry too." Fang Hong said.

Neither of them said anything about this matter. Li Meijing was just asking for convenience, but there was nothing she could do if the other party didn't want to.

You can also find other entertainment companies for this matter!

Mao Yu listened without saying anything, but looked at Fang Hong deeply. This young man was quite sober.

In fact, the ban is not that powerful, and Yutu can push it if it wants.

That was the end of the meal. After the meal, Liu Tianxian went home by herself. Her driver came to pick her up.

She has been running around to make money these days, and it's quite hard work.

The popularity and status gained after filming a drama need to be converted into profits. Just filming a drama won’t make you money.

"'Big Shot' tells a crime story of an old policeman fighting a young evildoer in a relaxed and smooth manner. It is a very commercial movie. The principal plays a natural devil, so cruel that it makes people shudder. Liu Tianxian also has a wonderful performance in the movie, and her acting skills are back."

This article is very long and quite pertinent. It also mentions that Liu Tianxian's acting skills are inconsistent.

"This is a movie very similar to Hong Kong movies. The sincerity lies in the strong story. The audience wants to know how the hero can overcome difficulties and uphold justice at the same time. The editing is clean and neat, the fighting is fierce and has comedic effects. The actors' performances are full of personality, each doing their part, and no one is a drag."

"This time, we are not fighting against the mafia, but the big landlords. This movie has shown me the progress of Yutu's film production industry, and Yutu's sincerity towards movies and love for the industry.

If we can do a good job of the composition of a scene, a shot, and a movie in each genre, and with the efforts of every filmmaker, I believe China can also mass-produce "Big Shot", but it didn't."

"."

That evening, professional film reviews of "Big Shot" were posted on Douban, Weibo, Tieba, and self-media information platforms.

Of course there are good and bad ones. All the bad ones will be deleted. It’s so unreasonable!
Bilibili also released a trailer for the movie, and major video platforms also released viewers' impressions and movie clip ads.

The audience was still curious when they saw the sliced ​​video.

On the 15th, Liu Tianxian came to Yutu early, which surprised Fang Hongting: "Aren't you busy?"

"I'm busy, but I want to see how much box office your movie can make." Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

She saw the critics' praise for her acting skills, so she wanted to pay attention to the box office.

"It's still early now. The box office will be released tomorrow. You should go and earn money to support your family instead of doing nothing every day!"

After Fang Hong finished speaking, he ran away. Just as he was about to close the door, Liu Tianxian kicked it open with a "bang".

"I'll see where you run."

Liu Tianxian's knuckles made a crackling sound as she pressed forward step by step.

Fang Hong stepped back step by step until he reached his desk.

Liu Tianxian seized the opportunity and pushed him down on the desk with one step: "Who do you say is not doing his job every day?"

"Calm down."

Fang Hong was lying on the desk.

Looking at Liu Tianxian looking down at him, he couldn't help but swallow.

"I'm very calm."

Liu Tianxian crouched down with a sharp look in her eyes: "I haven't spanked you for three days, and you're so proud of yourself, right? You talk to me like that."
