Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 199 Stupid Man

The room was silent for a moment, and Liu Tianxian was thinking about Fang Hong's words.

She also understood why the man did this. It was simply to seize the initiative, not be controlled by others, and be able to strike back at any time.

But he gave her the initiative and the power to kill, which was a kind of respect for her.

Respect her and her friendship.

Liu Tianxian held the photo tightly and asked, "Anything else?"

"There will be more, but I will pass them all to you." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian stood up and Fang Hong did not hold her down anymore. He just held her down to calm her down.

The two of them faced each other, and Liu Tianxian said seriously: "Enough is enough!"

Fang Hong nodded in agreement!

Just stop when you reach a certain point, don’t overdo it.

Fang Hong didn't think too much of it. A kiss and a hug would be enough. As for going to bed, I guess no man would be able to get an erection after seeing Zeng like that!

That girl is too masculine.

The two of them left the villa, Fang Hong carried the luggage and put it in the trunk of the car.

After getting in the car, Liu Tianxian sat in the passenger seat, swiping her phone with a normal expression, as if she had forgotten what had just happened.

She sat up: "Hey, do you think this makes sense? Be yourself, don't stick to any concepts, everyone is different."

"There must be a reason not to be the person that others see you as." Fang Hong was driving.

Liu Tianxian nodded, swiped her phone, and posted this message on Weibo.

She likes to post on Weibo, and there are many comments from fans, who like to guess what she is thinking. What is the meaning of this message?
Some people guessed whether it was a response to the recent controversy over stealing roles; others guessed whether it was about the same incident, and so on.

In fact, Liu Tianxian just spoke from her heart and didn’t really have that many thoughts.

Fang Hong glanced at her and said, "You speak French, right?"

"Yes!" Liu Tianxian nodded.

Her father is a French professor and she has been learning French since she was a child.

"When you are free, please accompany me to France." Fang Hong said.

"Why, you want to go on a date with me?" Liu Tianxian had a smile on her face, her eyes were particularly bright.

France is quite romantic. Has this man come to his senses?
"Not really. There's something going on over there and we need you to be a diplomatic translator." Fang Hong didn't understand the situation.

He went to France to find a game agent and handed over "Heroes of Glory" to a large company for operation.

Liu Tianxian immediately straightened her face and looked out the window.

I thought this man was quite romantic and wanted to go on a date with her to France, go shopping, eat and buy things.

It turned out that it was for official business and he wanted her help.

"Why don't you say anything? Do you agree or not?" Fang Hong was driving and didn't notice Liu Tianxian's expression.

"I will think about it."

Liu Tianxian's tone was a little stiff.

"You still need to think about this? Just spare a day or two. There's no need to be so troublesome."

Fang Hong looked at the road ahead and spoke casually, thinking that Liu Tianxian would definitely agree.

Liu Tianxian looked at his profile and her lips moved slightly!

If you can read lips, you’ll know she’s saying, “Stupid man!”

At this time, the car arrived at the airport. There were not many cars and people here, so Liu Tianxian took the VIP channel.

This is just about having money, it's not a privilege.

Liu Tianxian put on sunglasses and a baseball cap, and when she was about to put on a mask, Fang Hong came closer.

She leaned back subconsciously and looked at the man's face in front of her: "What?"

"Kiss me."

"Get out of here."

Liu Tianxian pushed him away. He wanted to kiss her even though they weren’t dating. That was just wishful thinking.

Then he put on a mask and got out of the car.

Fang Hong was also puzzled. He had kissed her casually before and was very proactive, but now she didn't allow him to kiss him. There must be something wrong with women.

He got out of the car and took his luggage out of the trunk.

The two entered the hall. Liu Tianxian was fully armed, wearing a black windbreaker and jeans. She was tall and walked with a breeze.

As they walked and talked, she asked, "When are we going to France?"

"In February, any day, whatever's convenient for you." Fang Hong said.

"Okay, come and pick me up when the time comes, and we'll set off from Shanghai." Liu Tianxian agreed.

Although I was disappointed that it wasn't a date, I still had to help with the work.

The crew can still get a day or two off.

After checking the tickets, Liu Tianxian waved at him: "Go back and take good care of yourself, eat early and go to bed early."

"You too."

Fang Hong waved to her.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole country entered into a stage of traveling back and forth between the south and the north, and the whole country was busy resuming work.

It's like this every year, year after year!
In his previous life, Fang Hong was also a part of this wave, and so was his mother, running around everywhere, looking for things to do.

Now they have a much easier time.

The crew of "The Legend of Qin" was originally going to resume work as scheduled, but Jiang Jinfu was admitted to the hospital due to health reasons.

Cai Yirong didn't care and just thought that Jiang Jinfu was really not feeling well, so he let him rest for two days and temporarily shoot Brother Hu's play.

This play has been adjusted in the first place, and more scenes with Brother Hu should be filmed to let him shine.

However, when we went to ask him to come back two days later, Jiang Jinfu still said he was not feeling well and needed to be hospitalized. This pause lasted for several days, and until the Lantern Festival, Jiang Jinfu showed no signs of improvement, so the crew had to choose to stop working.

It's impossible to always film just Brother Hu. The two of them have scenes together, and they also have scenes together with other people. If Jiang Jinfu doesn't join the crew, the scenes of other people can't be filmed.

When we urged him to do it, Jiang Jinfu always put it off by saying he was sick, and never said he would not shoot.

There was no other way, Cai Yirong had to go to the hospital to visit him, but he found that Jiang Jinfu was able to eat and sleep except for wearing a hospital gown.

During the conversation between the two, Jiang Jinfu did not say anything harsh, but still used the excuse of poor health and the need to wait for some time to join the crew as an excuse to delay.

He didn't mention the date, which was just a soft rejection. He didn't try to be tough, but he didn't say he wouldn't shoot anything either.

I was talking about taking pictures, but it’s not convenient now!
This made Cai Yirong realize that someone was trying to get her. This kind of trick was very common in the circle. She was filming well but she had to take sick leave.

There was a star who was hired for 50 days out of a 40-day working period.

It will delay your time, your construction period, and your funds.

After the Lantern Festival, on the 2th day of the first lunar month, February 7, leaders of all Yutu departments held a meeting together.

The meeting included Chen Zhixi, president of Yutu Pictures; Meng Jun, financial officer; Huang Bing, public relations and artist; Yao Qi from the special effects department; Shi Zhimao from the animation department; Li Min from the game department; Jiao Huajing, screenwriter;
Bao Jinjin didn't have that ambition and didn't attend the meeting!
There are more than just those few screenwriters now, there are more than a dozen, mainly because the production volume has expanded and there are too many scripts that need to be adapted or edited.

Some people work in companies, while others work from home, and the location of work doesn't matter.

Anyway, you just get a guaranteed salary, and if you want to make big money, you have to get a commission.

The meeting was attended by the main and secondary leaders of each department, a total of more than 20 people, who were in charge of the department's direction or the company's decision-making.

Although there are not many people attending this meeting, they must be of a high level. People of low level are not worthy of attending this meeting.

"Mr. Fang, Cai Yirong wants to see you." Chen Zhixi whispered.

Now a group of people are entering the meeting room.

"Don't worry about her, let's start the meeting first." Fang Hong said.

This person called him yesterday, but he didn't answer. He was so arrogant before, how could he learn his lesson if he didn't delay her?

In a bright conference room, there is a rectangular conference table. People from various departments are dressed formally, holding notes or notebooks in their hands.

They sat down on both sides, without talking to each other, but just looking at each other. It was the first time for some of them to meet each other.

Then they all turned their eyes to the person at the top.

Fang Hong crossed his hands and placed them on the table: "You may not have met many of these people. Let's take this opportunity to get to know each other. The theme of today's meeting is two words: coordination!"

The purpose of this meeting is to further improve the organizational structure and coordinate the development of various departments so that they do not act independently.

For example, games, special effects, animation, production, and screenwriters can develop in a coordinated manner, and special effects can be used in games, animation, and production.

Animation can be used in games and special effects.

Film production, games, and animations all require screenwriters to write stories. For example, each hero in "Honor of Kings" needs a story.

Games and animations can both use the art of the film production industry and the film-like visual texture.

In short, coordinated development is to avoid waste of resources. For example, the producer recruits artists, the game also recruits artists, and the animation also recruits artists. This is a waste of resources.

For example, there are animators for both special effects and animation, which is also a waste of resources.

Some things can be outsourced to other departments, and one person can do the work of three people, so as to maximize resources.

Servers, equipment, and technology can also be shared in many ways.

For example, if the special effects department wants to introduce motion capture, it can be used in animation, games, and movies.

The meeting lasted a long time. Some people took notes, while others turned on their computers and typed while listening.

It wasn't just Fang Hong who spoke. The heads of various departments would also say a few words, talking about the situation of their department and giving a report.

The game department has now expanded to more than a hundred people. In addition to operations planners and game developers, the redundant artists and animators will be transferred to the special effects and animation departments.

If the game requires it, make a request and outsource the production to those two departments.

The same applies to special effects, which need to be outsourced and coordinated with animation. We cannot do repetitive work and must achieve specialization.

As for production, only production staff will be retained, and all talents related to visual effects will be assigned to the special effects department.

For example, model makers and makeup artists, who are related to visuals, should be assigned to the special effects and animation departments, and adjustments must be made.

To achieve specialization, each department should specialize in its own tasks and not take on too much.

The business departments outsource, make requests, solve problems, and the finance department allocates funds.

If this develops well, it will be able to achieve self-circulation in the future, but this is just the beginning.

The meeting lasted for three days before the basic tone was set. The entire Yutu organizational structure had to be comprehensively adjusted.

Some people were originally in film production, but were transferred to special effects, and some people were in games, but were transferred to animation.

Of course, there will be no layoffs. Not only will there be no layoffs, but there will be expansion, so no one has any complaints.

This adjustment period will last for half a year.

The main reason is that we hired too many people before and expanded too quickly. There are more than a thousand producers, two hundred animators, hundreds of special effects people, and other people. There are more than 2,000 people in the entire Yutu team.

This year we will continue to recruit and expand, and we need to make adjustments slowly because Fang Hong is not an excellent manager.

Chen Zhixi is also still groping in the dark.

The leaders of other departments are all professionals in their respective fields and cannot reach such high levels of management.

It's okay for them to just manage their own business, but it won't work if you ask them to stand at Fang Hong's level to coordinate development.

After this meeting, Fang Hong went to Tu Piaopiao for another meeting. Tu Piaopiao had a new executive director, Zheng Zhihao.

These are the people recommended by Tencent and Meituan!
This person is capable. He holds a master's degree in computer science from the University of Kentucky. He used to be the vice president of Tencent, and he developed QQ Space.

Later, he served as vice president of Dianping.com and was also an executive of Maoyan in his previous life.

He is a very capable product officer. I recommended him to integrate resources and improve the software and hardware facilities.

The software development team of Tupiaopiao was very rough, and this person just happened to come in and get it done.

Of course, Fang Hong is still the person in charge of the general direction, Zheng Zhihao is just the executor, and Meng Jun is still a director.

Fang Hong always has to have his own people watching him, and he can't keep an eye on Tu Piaopiao all the time.

The main purpose of this meeting was to get to know each other and the development direction was determined.
