Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 248 Self-Growth
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xian crossed his legs, holding a goblet filled with bright red wine, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, feeling very comfortable.

It feels so good to show off in front of Fang Hong, it feels better than fucking European and American actresses.

In the past, Fang Hong always showed off in front of him, and now it is finally his turn to show off in front of Fang Hong.

Who told this bitch to seduce the Fairy Sister away!

In fact, he envied Fang Hong. She was the Fairy Sister, the white moonlight in many people's hearts, and the beauty in many people's hearts.

It’s so sad just thinking about it!

But things still had to be done, so that night he contacted John Green, the author of "The Misery of Being Wild".

The next day he flew to Indianapolis, a city located in the middle of the east coast of the United States, adjacent to Chicago.

Yu first met the author here, a gentle white man wearing black-framed glasses.

After discussion, Yu Xian determined that someone was interested in purchasing the copyright of the novel, but it had not been sold yet. One reason was that the price was not right, and the other was that the buyer was hesitant.

To put it bluntly, there are doubts about the adaptation value of this novel, and some buyers are hoping to get a bargain.

After Yu Xian understood the situation, he bargained and negotiated and purchased the film and television adaptation rights for US$200 million.

Seven figures is the common asking price for best-selling novels in Europe and America.

The price for adapting a novel into a film or TV series is tens of millions, unless the novel is extremely popular and has extremely high value for film or TV adaptation and can form an IP.

Although "The Misery of Being Wild" is popular, its value is not yet worth tens of millions. If it is not adapted into a film or TV series, it will not reach that value.

Because this novel only sold 100 million copies in a year, which is far behind "Fifty Shades of Grey", which sold 2000 million copies in three months.

The gap is not that big!
It is only because the novel has been published in so many countries, more than 30, that it has become popular.

To be honest, it was only after the movie came out that this novel was given such high value.

It was only 13 years in the previous life that th Century Fox bought the adaptation rights to "The Misery of Being Wild".

So it’s worth two million dollars!

The reason why "Fifty Shades of Grey" was so cheap before was because it was bought by Fang Hong before it was published and had not yet proved its value.

Moreover, the author asked for a very high price at the time, and Fang Hong agreed without any bargaining.

In fact, if you bargained at that time, you could have bought it for hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe even tens of thousands.

Now the author is regretting his decision so much, thinking that he sold it too cheaply. It could be sold for tens of millions of dollars at its current value.

But there's no point in regretting it. It's already sold. I can't take it back unless Fang Hong agrees, but that's impossible.

The copyright of "The Wonderful Pain" belongs to the Flower Growers Company.

Fang Hong’s copyright safe has become a little thicker!

Sometimes Fang Hong even wanted to give up Yutu and just focus on running his American company, mainly because the overseas content copyrights were making too much money.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. People should have some aspirations!

After all, the United States is a rootless duckweed, and China is the root.

That afternoon, a photo of Liu Tianxian, dressed casually and appearing at Guomao for shopping, was posted online by a passerby. The photo was quite clear.

Just because it’s daytime!
The photo shows Liu Tianxian and a middle-aged woman laughing and talking in a jewelry store.

It seemed like the chat was very casual and down-to-earth.

Normally Liu Tianxian is very casual and down-to-earth, not as aloof as people imagine.

She doesn't mind others taking pictures of her and doesn't stop them!
This photo was circulated among fans, and a bunch of fans licked the screen, saying that Liu Tianxian is "so pretty" and "so beautiful"!
As for the middle-aged woman next to her, it doesn’t matter who she is, as long as she is not a man.

When Fang Hong returned home from get off work in the afternoon, he saw that his house had been completely renovated. It was completely different from its previous dull and plain appearance and had become much more colorful.

A doormat was placed at the door, and the shoe rack was replaced with a high-end storage style, with many new shoes in it.

Green plants are placed in the corners and on the countertops, including jade trees, osmanthus trees, etc.

There is a large and long fish tank between the living room and the dining room, with several goldfish, guppies and koi swimming in it. The colors are bright and very ornamental.

Fang Hong looked at the house. It used to be in black and white, and he couldn't feel anything after looking at it for a long time. Now it is colorful and he feels much more relaxed.

If Heizi hadn't been wagging his tail beside him, he would have thought he had entered the wrong door.

"A little to the left, yes!"

Xu Liyun was directing, Liu Tianxian was standing on a stool, and there was a picture frame hanging on the wall.

The picture frame is a blooming lotus, very bright.

Fang Hong walked over and stood behind his mother.

Xu Liyun noticed it and pointed at the painting and said, "It's beautiful, son!"

"It looks good." Fang Hong nodded.

After Liu Tianxian hung it up, she was about to jump off the stool.

"You're going to miss a step." Fang Hong stepped forward and made a hugging gesture.

Liu Tianxian stood still, looking down at him: "Do you want me to miss a step, or do you not want me to miss a step?"

"You can miss the opportunity." Fang Hong said with a smile.

"You think this is an idol drama." Liu Tianxian saw through his little thoughts at a glance.

In idol dramas, the heroine climbs up high, then always misses a step, and then falls into the hero's arms, and then they kiss each other accidentally or something.

"Whether you step on empty space or not, I will hug you."

Fang Hong didn't say anything, he hugged her two round thighs, got up from the stool, and his face was facing her belly.

Liu Tianxian was wearing little, just a white short-sleeved shirt with Mickey Mouse printed on it and tight jeans.
The body is plump and the feeling is still very real.

Seeing how affectionate the two were, Xu Liyun had an auntie smile on her face. As long as she could see that the two had a good relationship, she felt relieved.

Liu Tianxian was lifted up high and could only support Fang Hong's head with a playful smile on her face, but she was embarrassed to show it because the man's mother was next to her.

"Put me down quickly."

"How can I bear to do that!" Fang Hong held her in his arms as he walked around the house, and even rubbed her belly.

"Hey, stop it, put me down."

Liu Tianxian felt itchy and looked down. This behavior was too intimate. The elders were watching. If it was two people, it would be nothing.

"Don't let go." Fang Hong said.

"Put her down quickly." Xu Liyun patted her son's shoulder. After all, she couldn't bear to see Liu Tianxian being bullied.

There was no other choice, Fang Hong had to let Liu Tianxian go.

Liu Tianxian landed on the ground and adjusted her clothes. Her short-sleeved shirt had been pulled up, almost exposing her belly.

"Fei Fei, please stay here for dinner!" Xu Liyun invited.

"Okay, Auntie." Liu Tianxian agreed.

"Then I'll cook."

Xu Liyun looked at her son and patted his arm as she passed by, signaling him not to bully Liu Tianxian.

Fang Hong looked around the room and asked, "Did you arrange all this?"

"How about I be with your mother? Do you like it?" Liu Tianxian was proud, as if she was very accomplished.

"It's okay!" Fang Hong said.

"I worked so hard, and all I get is such a trivial comment from you!" Liu Tianxian curled her lips in displeasure.

"As long as you think it's good, you don't need me to evaluate it. My appreciation is all on you. I am not sensitive to any other beautiful things." Fang Hong spoke sweet words without hesitation.

"loquacious!"

The two chatted, held hands, and walked around the house.

After putting some green plants, paintings and decorations, it is indeed much more colorful than before and no longer looks so monotonous.

It's really good to have a woman who understands life at home.

Liu Tianxian is the person who knows how to live life very well. She can be exquisite, simple, warm and romantic.

Know how to enjoy life, be simple, and have a passion for pursuing life.

When you live with such a person, you don’t have to worry about anything. She will make your life colorful and put you in a very relaxed state.

The meal was still normal. After eating, Liu Tianxian drove back by herself.

She had come by car.

At night, on the screens of their mobile phones, there was still a call from "Fang Gouzi" and also a call from "Mr. Liu".

Unless they are very busy, the two of them will talk on the phone every night. As for what they talk about, who knows?
Time quickly came to August 8th.

"Lucy 1" has been released for a month, and the box office of this movie has basically come to an end.

The box office results of various regions have also been released, Malaysia 451 million; Singapore 305 million, Philippines 248 million; Thailand 222 million, Indonesia 233 million.
There are 1139 million people in Taiwan and 253 million in Hong Kong in Canada.

The total box office is 3141 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 2.19 million, just short of 2.2 million.

The box office can only go so far. It has been taken off the screen in many places now because no one is watching it. The market environment is not big to begin with, so it is normal for the movie to be taken off the screen.

Moreover, piracy has long been available in Southeast Asia and is rampant, and there is no way to crack down on it.

Piracy affects the income of producers, but it can increase the popularity of stars and is beneficial to them.

So Liu Tianxian made a lot of money this time. The August issue of the most well-known fashion magazine "VOGUE" has Liu Tianxian on the cover.

This is her first time on VOGUE!
She looks charming and elegant on the cover, and the English caption is: Self-growth!

In the past, only European and American movie stars or fashion models could appear in this fashion magazine, and most of the faces people saw were European and American.

Only top Chinese celebrities like Gong Huang, Zhang Ziyi, Faye Wong, and Man Shen can appear on the cover. In February, Yan Zi was on the cover of a magazine, but they were all Chinese editions.

And this time Liu Tianxian is on the Asian version!

This is also the result of her hard work over the past three years!

From "Those Years" in 2010, to "Bad Genius" in 2011, and then to "Lucy 2012" in 1.

Every year, one step at a time!
"VOGUE" fashion magazine is known as the "global fashion bible"!
It is one of the most important magazine brands in the world and is recognized as the world's leading fashion magazine, marketed in more than 20 countries.

However, the content and cover of each region's publications are different.

Liu Tianxian's appearance on the Asian edition of VOGUE as a Chinese face has received enthusiastic responses from fans, triggering a wave of fan carnival.
Fans even shouted: We want to be on the cover again!
It also aroused the envy and jealousy of other female stars and fans!
But there was nothing they could do. The principal was behind him, so they could only talk big. Talking big would not amount to anything and at most would affect Liu Tianxian's mood.

Unless it is a big company, the big boss will be eliminated.

And now those company bosses are very quiet, as if everything is calm.

I don’t know whether he is planning a big move or has given up!
Celebrities generally don’t pay to appear in fashion magazines, and if they do, it’s the brands that pay, because this increases the value of the magazine, both the brand and the celebrity.

It also plays a role in spreading the message to celebrities.

If low-level stars want to be on the cover of a good fashion magazine, they may even have to spend money or sell some resources.

So if you are not qualified, you can’t get in!
Now Liu Tianxian has begun to slowly abandon low-end endorsements, such as those for games, and move towards high-end fashion.

Just because Fang Hong suggested to her that she must be cool!

I didn't say this before because Yutu hasn't developed to that stage yet. Since she's going to make a high-investment movie, Liu Tianxian also has to raise her own standards.

Again, it has to match the Jade Rabbit’s temperament!
It can be included in the Asian version only because the total box office of "Lucy 1" in South Korea has also come out, 2434 million US dollars!

According to statistics from the Korean Film Council, the total number of viewers of this film exceeded 300 million.

Much less than the previous "Big Shot".

It is also not as good as the recently released "The Thieves". This movie is really full of big Korean stars and it is simply incomparable!

"Lucy 1" has achieved very good results. South Korea is a very small market with only a small population. Add in streaming media, television and other media, and it's not too much to multiply its popularity by ten. It's a huge hit.

The North American box office was not ideal. It was said to be 4165 million, but it was only million US dollars. For such a large market, such a small amount is really not good.

But many domestic film and television companies are extremely envious.

After "The Forbidden Kingdom", no other movie has been able to earn tens of millions at the box office in North America.

Even if you ask Fang Long to come again, he won’t be able to do it!
Now Liu Tianxian can be said to be the one with the greatest hope of representing the Chinese people and becoming an international actress.

Of course, everyone knows that Liu Tianxian relies on Yutu! It's the principal!
