Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 233 Destroying the Jade Rabbit
It is afternoon now, and the sun is setting.

The two were bored, so they busied themselves setting up the barbecue rack, finding some charcoal and some tools, and taking out some meat, melons and vegetables from the refrigerator.

Now it was July and the weather was hot. Fang Hong was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and cropped pants, revealing some of his leg hair.

He was so busy that he was sweating profusely because he was the one doing all the heavy work of moving things.

After moving, I sat aside and skewered meat and vegetables with wooden sticks. I had never done this kind of work in my life.

It would be so nice to eat out, but you have to go through so much trouble. I don’t understand.

When a woman is in the mood, nothing can stop her!

Liu Tianxian changed into a short-sleeved shirt and summer denim shorts, and her smooth long legs looked tight and powerful.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

She tied her hair into a ponytail and puffed up her cheeks to blow the air at the burning charcoal, her face turned red. The charcoal only emitted a few sparks and had not yet completely burned.

After this thing is lit, it needs to be blown away by wind.

"You can help to blow it too." Liu Tianxian was panting while blowing it, with one hand on her waist and the other waving.

"You are so stupid."

Fang Hong found a fan and fanned the charcoal. The charcoal soon burned with thick smoke. "That's it."

Liu Tianxian pushed his head unhappily. He actually said that she was stupid. She just didn't think of it.

On the table next to it are skewered chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables, all of which are fresh.

"Your cooking skills are quite good. The skewers are very neat and tidy." Liu Tianxian picked up the skewered meat and took a look.

"If I hadn't been held back by filming a movie, I would have opened a barbecue restaurant. It might have become a national chain by now." Fang Hong continued to fan the air and boast lightly.

"I'm sorry for inconvenience caused by making the movie!"

Liu Tianxian picked out a bunch of pork belly and grilled it first. She didn’t know how to cook it, so she decided to try out the feel of it.

"Filmmaking is the most difficult. You have to consider many things. Not only do you need money to make it, but you also have to sell it. Some people make movies but can't sell them. Barbecue is so simple. You have a stall. As long as the taste is good, people will come to eat. This kind of thing is all about the atmosphere."

Fang Hong chatted with her.

Liu Tianxian understood what he meant. Not everyone can make a movie, and the same goes for TV. It requires organization, funding, and connections.

After all this, you still have to sell it. If it doesn’t sell well, then there will be nothing else.

Some people can only fail once in their lives. If they keep failing and starting businesses, they will either become rich or an official.

"So behind every successful man, there is a woman who supports him. Otherwise, you should do something else, right!" she smiled.

"Yes, without you, I would be the barbecue king." Fang Hong put his arm around her shoulders.

"Screw you."

Liu Tianxian laughed and nudged him with her shoulder. This man could always make jokes in such a serious manner.

Being hugged by an hand, she leaned back slightly and got closer. The weather was not too hot, and the shadows of the two were stretched out under the sunlight.

"Brush with some oil, add some salt, and some seasoning."

Liu Tianxian grilled the skewers and scooped some seasoning with a small spoon. She then shook it little by little until the meat started to smoke.

Not like a professional at all, more like a novice.

"Is there anyone who puts them away like you? Others just grab a handful and brush them away. Their posture is very slippery." Fang Hong looked anxiously.

"That's too casual and not sophisticated."

Liu Tianxian looked very serious. Her hand holding the spoon kept shaking as if she had Parkinson's disease. She was afraid to put too much in.

Fang Hong was speechless and didn't look at it very carefully.

"Okay, try it."

Liu Tianxian thought it was almost ready, so she picked up the skewer and handed it to him.

Fang Hong looked at the black skewers of meat with lumps of condiments on them. It was because they were put in too slowly and roasted too slowly.

But he still took it and took a bite.

"How about it?"

Liu Tianxian opened her big eyes full of hope.

Fang Hong chewed and nodded: "Mm, delicious, very good."

"Ah! Is that so?" Liu Tianxian was surprised.

"Yes, you must have practiced this, it tastes so good." Fang Hong praised seriously.

“This is my first time.”

Liu Tianxian took his hand, took a bite, and her little face immediately wrinkled up, and she quickly spit it out of her mouth.

"Hahaha!" Fang Hong laughed.

"You bastard, are you kidding me?"

Liu Tianxian punched the man, picked up a bottle of mineral water, rinsed his mouth, and then spit it out.

The meat skewers were so salty, the salt hadn't dissolved, and they were always roasted in the same place, all the way to the bottom, and they were all mushy.

"You worked so hard to bake it, it's a shame if no one tastes it." Fang Hong said, and took another bite.
Liu Tianxian was somewhat touched by these words, so she snatched the skewers from his hand and threw them into the trash can.

"Stop eating, let's go eat outside."

"No need, I'll roast it for you." Fang Hong said.

Everything is prepared. It would be such a waste to eat out. This is too willful.

"You can?" Liu Tianxian was surprised.

"Will do."

Fang Hong would definitely do it, even though he had never done this kind of work in this life, but he had done it in his previous life.

I have provided cooking and barbecue services.

He picked up a handful of skewered chicken, duck and fish, put them on the grill, and brushed them with oil. The oil dripped onto the charcoal and immediately a big fire started.

This frightened Liu Tianxian, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

However, Fang Hong was very calm. He bent down and blew on the fire, and it went out. He seemed to be at ease, completely unlike Liu Tianxian's cautious attitude just now.

The grilled food also sizzles and shines with oil, which looks very appetizing.

Liu Tianxian looked at his serious expression, with sweat shining on his face and neck, and thought he was very manly!

Being masculine doesn't mean being brave and aggressive.

"Shhhhh!"

Fang Hong grabbed a handful of salt and seasoning and sprinkled them randomly. The powder flew and landed on the food: "Sprinkle it evenly this way. If you do that, they will slowly clump together."

"Hmm!" Liu Tianxian watched from the side. Seeing the food shining, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "I just need to eat it. You don't need to teach me."

"You need to teach them. Girls need to go out into the living room and into the kitchen." Fang Hong said.

"You're willing to let me go to the kitchen." Liu Tianxian put her arm around his shoulders and moved closer.

"Give it up."

"Go away, you have no mercy on women at all." Liu Tianxian patted him on the back of the head.

After chatting and laughing, a few skewers were quickly grilled.

"Try it."

Fang Hong handed a skewer of meat to Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian took it, opened her little mouth and took a bite, her eyes lit up: "Well, it's good, it tastes good, I didn't expect you have such skills."

As she spoke, her lips kept smacking.

"Of course. I've already said it. If I hadn't been delayed by the movie, I would be the barbecue king."

Fang Hong was pleased, then he sighed: "Destroy the Jade Rabbit!"

"Look at how cocky you are. If you don't pretend, you'll die."

After Liu Tianxian finished eating, he took all the skewers from his hand and kept eating: "Keep grilling, don't stop, it's really delicious."

"It seems like you said you would roast it for me." Fang Hong looked at her.

"You've eaten."

Liu Tianxian kicked the trash can and said, "See? That's what you ate. The body is still there!"

"Miss Liu, we are all intellectuals, can you please have some shame?" Fang Hong was speechless.

"Haha, alright, here's your reward."

Liu Tianxian smiled and seeing that he was depressed, she fed the unfinished sausage in her hand to his mouth.

"Don't eat what you have eaten." Fang Hong glanced at her and wanted to take the food she had not eaten.

"Hey, you're still disgusted with it, right?"

Liu Tianxian dodged with her hands, pouted her lips, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the mouth. His mouth was full of grease stains, and there were still condiment residues on the edge of his mouth that had not been wiped off. He had no image at all. When Fang Hong turned his head to the left, she moved to the left; when Fang Hong turned his head to the right, she moved to the right.

This is because I am in a good mood and I have to kiss her.

In the end, Liu Tianxian succeeded and pressed her lips on Fang Hong's soft lips, and the imprints were deeply locked together.

It was mainly Liu Tianxian who was putting in the effort.

"See if you still dislike me." Liu Tianxian was satisfied.

"Female bully." Fang Hong wiped his mouth, which was covered with grease stains.

"Who are you talking about?"

Liu Tianxian kicked his butt: "Hurry up and roast it, this is your chance to show off."

My hands are busy, so I hold the skewers!

There was no other way, Fang Hong had to grill the skewers honestly, since he knew how to do it.

Liu Tianxian sat on a chair at the side, put the skewers on the plate on the table, picked up a bottle of ice beer, opened it, drank a sip, and took a bite of the skewers: "Wow, it's so comfortable."

Fang Hong looked at her, sighed, and shook his head. It would be disastrous if he married her.

Soon, he baked a full plate. The two sat opposite each other, and Liu Tianxian opened a bottle of beer for him.

The two of them leisurely ate skewers, drank beer, and looked at the sunset in the distance.

Talking about life and ideals, life is so wonderful!
"Your cooking skills are really good. I won't starve to death following you." Liu Tianxian fed him the skewers in her hand.

"Are you following me?" Fang Hong asked while eating.

"I am following you now. You are my little baby and I am your little Feifei."

Liu Tianxian laughed and raised her glass, saying, "Come on, little baby, let's have a toast."

"Xiao Feifei, cheers!" Fang Hong raised his glass.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two cups clinked together.

Soon, the place was in a mess, with wooden signs and beer bottles thrown everywhere, as well as charcoal, oil and other things everywhere.

The two of them were also dizzy from drinking and sat together. Liu Tianxian leaned on Fang Hong, and Fang Hong put his hand on her smooth thigh.

When Liu Xiaoli came back, she saw this scene and was immediately furious.

"Look what you guys have done. You don't have to clean it up, right?" She walked up and pulled the two of them apart. She was so shameless.

Although the two were dizzy, they were still sober and the beer couldn't make them drunk.

"Mom, you're back, you can eat too."

Liu Tianxian was a little drunk, her face was red and her mouth was covered with grease.

"I'll eat your head."

Liu Xiaoli tapped her daughter's forehead and then pulled her: "Go back to the house and wash your face. Look at what you have become, little cat."

Fang Hong could only stand aside awkwardly and watch Liu Tianxian being dragged away.

Looking at the mess on the ground, he picked up the garbage bag and silently started to clean up.

When Liu Xiaoli came back, she saw that the rooftop had been almost cleaned up and the things had been put in order, but they had not been moved away.

This made Liu Xiaoli look at him with admiration. After getting to know Fang Hong a little bit, she found that he seemed quite good.

He just had naughty hands and touched her daughter's thigh!
"Xiao Fang, let me do it while you sober up."

"It's okay, Auntie. I can do it, too." Fang Hong continued to clean up.

Liu Xiaoli also helped: "Xiao Fang, do you usually clean the house?"

"When I'm alone, I often clean up. My mother will help if she's too busy. After all, the house is big," said Fang Hong.

The two chatted while cleaning up. Liu Xiaoli just talked about some family matters and wanted to hear about what kind of person he was in life.

His attitude wasn't that cold and was quite polite.

In the evening, after packing up, Fang Hong said goodbye and went home without staying overnight.

At this point in time, there are only three movies competing for the summer season: Painted Skin 2, Lucy 1, and Searching.

Among them, "Search" was released on July 7.

The only two films in fierce competition are "Painted Skin 2" and "Lucy 1".

"Painted Skin 2" also performed well. The creative team traveled all over the country to promote the show, and it was also a hot topic on the Internet, showing a trend of becoming popular before it was aired.

Anyone who is planning to watch a movie and is paying attention to this area has basically heard of "Painted Skin 2", and the media has been bombarding it with news.

“Painted Skin 2 will premiere at 7:15 on July !”

"Nandu Entertainment Weekly: Why is Painted Skin II so popular?"

“How far is the diversified operation of Painted Skin 2 from the Hollywood model?”

Anyway, they are just hyping up all kinds of things. You can't hype up the movie plot, so you can only hype up some random things.

Even the explosive materials of the two female leads were brought out for discussion.

"The star-studded "Painted Skin 2", with Yang Mi taking the lead, and Yan Zi and Zhou Gongzi at odds?"

"."

On the other hand, there was no movement for Lucy 1, except for the following headlines posted on Tencent, Meituan portal, the upper right corner of QQ, and Space:

"Liu Tianxian invites you to watch Lucy 1. The original price is 60 yuan, but it's only 19.9 yuan now."

The title shows that there is also a promotional picture of Liu Tianxian’s movie.

Of course it can't be as high as 60 yuan. It's just 20 yuan more, so the ticket price is about 40 yuan, which is 20 yuan in actual money.

Half the price of "Painted Skin 2"!
Just click on this title and you will be automatically redirected to the Tupiaopiao ticket purchasing platform to purchase tickets.

I was supposed to get a coupon, but now I don’t have to, the discount is directly applied. It is so simple and convenient.

Light Media, Wanda, and China Film Cinema are also helping with the promotion. Lucy 1 is available for viewing at 19.9, and the Tupiaopiao website and QR code download channels have also been opened.

QR codes have become popular now. In order to attract traffic, you must download the APP or go to the platform to get discounts.

The money is given out just for downloading, registering and logging into Tupiaopiao, in order to bring people's ticket-buying habits online. What else do you think?

However, you must use your own mobile phone to register. The verification code SMS fee is 0.15 per piece, and you have to pay for it yourself.

Anyway, there are only 150 million out of million people. The extra money has been spent and no one cares about this. Mobile phone registration will be the trend in the future.

Moreover, mobile phone text message verification has been available for Super Girls several years ago. It is not a technical problem. It just requires connection with the three major operators.

As for making money, it’s easy to connect.

"There's some movement on Yutu, so they're giving ticket subsidies to the audience. Tickets that should have cost 40 yuan are now sold for 19.9 yuan." Deputy Director Chen Guo has been following the developments of "Lucy 1" and reports any developments.

Although Mr. Wang told the media that he didn't take it seriously, he actually took it very seriously. He was caught off guard because he didn't pay attention to it last time.

This time, we kept a close eye on Yutu’s movements.

"Can they handle this? It won't make money!" Mr. Wang was a little confused. There was such a way to play.

It’s 40 yuan, so just reduce 20 yuan directly. Those cinemas and theater chains will not reduce the price because they open their doors to do business.

It's not charity.

"It seems to be Tu Piaopiao who is behind it, not Yutu." Deputy Chen Guo said.

"Rabbit ticket?"

This is the first time that Mr. Wang has heard of such a thing.

Before, Tu Piaopiao was not well-known. It was only tested on a small scale, and then ticket machines were installed.

There is also the release of Yutu’s movie, which had very little publicity, so this is considered a big promotion.

“It’s a ticketing platform that sells tickets.” Deputy Chen Guo explained the principle.

Mr. Wang was silent, feeling the pressure.

He kind of admires this kind of person. This was obviously planned long ago. No wonder they didn't advertise it quietly. Who can resist the temptation of giving out money?

Ordinary people are the most down-to-earth, and they will see who gets the best deal.

“Can we find a ticketing platform to work with?”

“Currently, the largest service platform focusing on movies is Guevara, but I don’t know if they will help us with ticket subsidies,” said Deputy Chen Guo, worriedly.

That's a lot of money.

"Let's get in touch with them. They probably don't want to see Tutiopiao grow too big, so we can make concessions. We can also talk to the theater chains to see if we can lower the ticket prices."

Mr. Wang felt the pressure.

That way of giving out money is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Ask the theater chains to lower the ticket prices and then let the ticketing platforms make up a little bit of the cost. They can also say that a ticket priced at 60 yuan is a big discount.

This way, some of the audience can still be saved. Otherwise, all the people will be attracted away. In this era, the number of people who go to the cinema to watch movies is limited.
