Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 252 Just Let Me Die of Old Age
The two were chatting here, and the crew began to clean up the mess, and the scene was basically finished!

Liu Tianxian was wet all over, her hair was wet too, and she was still wearing the same skirt, but she had a long towel wrapped around her body.

Fortunately, it is summer now, so playing in the water won’t catch a cold and will actually help cool you down.

"This is my job, so of course I have to take it seriously and perform well!"

Liu Tianxian glanced at him, then covered her mouth and started coughing, cough cough cough. It seemed that she had drunk a lot of water.

But it was clean water, nothing would happen, she was the only one who had soaked in it.

Fang Hong patted her back and said, "You can't be so hard-working. You'll get through it after practicing acting a few more times."

"That's so troublesome. People will talk about me being slow behind my back. Directors will also think I'm unprofessional and have a bad attitude. Why bother letting others talk?" Liu Tianxian is still strong-willed at heart.

I don’t want to cause trouble to others, nor do I want others to talk!
Fang Hong stopped talking. Liu Tianxian has always been like this.

At this time, assistant director Lu Yang came over and said apologetically: "Yi Fei, are you okay?"

Just now he didn't shout "click" and just watched someone drinking water from the water tank without stopping him. He felt really bad about it.

He didn't expect that this girl would be so hardworking. She just waited until she couldn't hold it back any longer before acting.

"It's okay, Director." Liu Tianxian straightened up and acted as if nothing was wrong, very strong-willed.

"That's good. I'm relieved that you're okay. You acted very well." Lu Yang praised.

"Thank you, director." Liu Tianxian smiled.

After the two of them finished talking, Lu Yang nodded to Fang Hong, and then went to do other things.

After the man left, Liu Tianxian said proudly: "Look, the professional director said that I acted well."

That look was completely different from the serious look just now, she looked like a little girl who was being praised.

Lu Yang comes from an orthodox academic background, and the films and TV series he made have won awards, but they didn’t receive much response, so he is definitely a professional director.

"Yes, I'm good. I never said you were bad, right?" Fang Hong spread his hands.

"Will you always say good things about me?" Liu Tianxian smiled and stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Of course, you have always been the best in the past, present and future." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian laughed a few times, looking very cute. She touched his shoulder with her shoulder and said, "Do you know what day it will be in a few days?"

"What day?" Fang Hong was puzzled.

"It's Valentine's Day, don't you have any expression?" Liu Tianxian was talking about Chinese Valentine's Day!
"Why do we men have to express our feelings to women on Valentine's Day? You women can't express your feelings to men?" Fang Hong asked as a matter of course.

Liu Tianxian immediately became unhappy and punched him twice on the arm, making Fang Hong scream.

Then she turned around and left, what a straight man!
Seeing that she was angry, Fang Hong hurried over to comfort her. He was also a bad-mouthed person. Why did he say such things?

The crew packed up their equipment and finished filming for today. They will continue working and filming in other places tomorrow.

This is how filming a movie works. After shooting in one place, you move to the next place, constantly switching scenes. There are no fewer scenes than in a TV series.

After dozens of episodes of a TV series, it may just circle around one place, but a movie may travel all over the world.

Fortunately, China is big enough, and you can find all kinds of scenes, from summer to winter, from remote villages to bustling cities.

The filming of Now You See Me has never stopped.

The movie opens with the introduction of four knights: the Lover, the Priestess, the Hermit, and Death.

Duan Yihong’s lover: He is good at changing playing cards and has superb sleight of hand. He can not only put the audience under his control, but also use this method to capture the hearts of women.

Liu Tian Fairy Priestess: Good at escaping, the only female character among the Four Horsemen, and possesses extraordinary intuition.

Xie Miao the Hermit: He is good at hypnosis and mind reading, and has always been a loner. Making money and being recognized are the meaning of his life. He joined the Four Horsemen because he had physical feelings for Liu Tianxian.

This movie has no romance, so he just talks nonsense to spice things up!
Zhu Yilong as the Grim Reaper: He is good at lock picking and was just a simple street liar at first. However, due to his admiration for magic, he joined the Four Horsemen.

He also has a special skill, which is "resurrection from the dead", which is why he is called the God of Death.

There are three amazing magic shows in the whole play. The first one is stealing 10 million US dollars in cash from a bank in Los Angeles within 500 minutes.

For this, Yu only needs to shoot a scene of working in a bank and the vault in Hollywood first, without having to travel a long way.

It’s good to have a base in the United States, and we can also shoot scenes in the United States.

In the second show, the 1.4 million yuan deposit from the bank account of an insurance company boss was transferred into the account of a live audience member.

The first two scenes were filmed in Macau.

The third scene was shot in Beijing, and there was a very shocking scene of money raining down in the city.

At the same time, the magic revealer was also framed. The magic revealer was the character played by Zhang Zhijian.

After three magic shows, the agent played by Zhang Songwen, the mastermind behind the Four Horsemen, finally surfaced.

This agent cannot be domestic, so it was changed to Interpol!

The plot is that the entire magic was planned by him, and the stolen vault, the insurance company boss, and the framed magic exposer were all enemies who contributed to the accidental death of his father twenty years ago.

So this is revenge!

The final reversal can be said to be quite explosive, because the agent who captured the Four Horsemen throughout the entire movie turned out to be the big boss behind the scenes.

No one expected this reversal, and it was quite shocking.

However, this reversal also adds a lot of points to the movie and distinguishes it from ordinary movies.

The plot is actually very simple, no need to think too much!
"The Purge 2" has been released for more than a month, and the final box office has been released.

It grossed $1.106 million worldwide.

With such achievements, Flower Farm and Universal Studios will certainly not give up and will continue filming.

It is said that the next film has been scheduled to be released next year!
This is the first time I've seen a release date set before the project has even been established.

But this movie is so easy to shoot, it's just a setting for venting dissatisfaction and indiscriminate killing.

The settings of neighborly feuds, superior-subordinate feuds, and rivals killing each other are all designed to satisfy people's bestial nature.

I can actually keep shooting like this!

However, this series still has some plot. It is impossible that there is no plot. The plot even escalates to the US presidential candidates. This is fabricated!

Now, "The Purge" and "The Conjuring" have become one of the most popular horror thriller series among filmmakers.

As long as you manage these two IPs well, money will come in and copyright fees will come in.

Of the 1.106 million US dollars, the flower growers can get 2765 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 1.9 million.

This money has to be spent. It would be meaningless if it is not spent. Ten million dollars will be invested in the purchase of equipment systems. There are two major categories of purchases. One category is physical special effects equipment: heavy machinery, sensors, bionic mechanical props, physical models, etc.

Another thing is the capture system, which includes both facial expression capture and motion capture, and can copy a real person's facial expression onto a digital stand-in.

It's technology similar to that used in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Alita: Battle Angel".

These technologies can be used in games, animations, and movies. Motion capture can be used to capture the movements of virtual characters in games, making the game characters more realistic.

Animated virtual characters also need real-life facial expressions captured!
These things are bought in the name of the flower grower, and then rented to Yutu for one dollar, so there is no need to have any accounting inconvenience.

These high-end products definitely require supporting personnel training, so Yutu will pay to select a few potential talents and send them to the United States, Europe and other places for study.

Of course, the people sent out have signed long-term contracts with Yutu, otherwise why would Yutu be so kind?

After one or two months of study, these equipments will not arrive in a short time. Some have to wait for one or two months, some have to wait for three or four months, or even half a year.

Last year, it took a long time to purchase a complete set of filming system equipment worth 10 million US dollars, and many items took half a year to be delivered.

Because this kind of stuff is not like mass-market goods that many people buy, but there are very few buyers. They are all rented and then returned.

For example, once you have finished filming a movie, you may not know when you will shoot it next time!

Maybe in two years, maybe in five years, it won’t be worth buying!

So for things like this you have to order first and then they will make them for you.

It's nonsense to say that it's only for rent and not for sale. It's not some high-precision equipment. Rich people will make it for you, but the price will be expensive.

If there is a shortage of money, let the game department subsidize it. Anyway, the game department has money now, and it is not a one-time expenditure. Many of them require deposits first.

Equipment like this requires technological updates and maintenance.

This is okay. As long as all departments are on the right track, there will naturally be money for upgrades and maintenance.

It’s just that it hasn’t gotten on the right track yet and needs to be continued.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was late August.

The biggest gossip in the entertainment industry recently is that "The Voice of China" has become a huge hit, becoming one of the most popular variety shows this year.

The popularity of this program has led to a rapid development of music talent shows.

It has also caused a sharp increase in advertising sponsorship fees for variety shows, and as a result, celebrity appearance fees have also increased sharply. The entertainment industry is gradually entering the era of traffic variety shows.

Film and television will no longer be the only exposure channel for celebrities, and variety shows have also become one of the options for celebrities.

If you can’t be a film and television actor, you can be a variety show star!
In addition to this incident, the Zhang Shuang incident broke out completely. After a cold war for more than half a year, the parties came out to admit: "The two have completely parted ways!"

This matter caused a lot of controversy and became one of the current hot topics.

However, this matter is causing a lot of trouble and it won’t stop anytime soon. There is also the controversy over having more children than allowed and the popular meme of “Seven Calabash Brothers”.

Of course, the famous "Gangnam Style" is still popular all over the world.

How popular is it? You can hear this song anywhere on the street.

Seeing that a Korean song has become so popular, voices of boycotting the Korean wave have emerged again, and experts have come out to say that the song is vulgar, has no substance, and is sensational.

None of this has anything to do with Fang Hong. He is now busy filming movies, managing the development of the company, and teasing the guy named Liu.

Now the crew has moved to Macau to shoot the first magic show.

On the luxurious and dazzling stage, the Four Horsemen were performing how to steal 500 million US dollars in cash from Los Angeles, USA.

The audience cheered and it was very lively.

The four of them performed on the stage to create an atmosphere. Liu Tianxian wore a black V-neck little black dress, revealing a pair of white and slender legs, and she was wearing high heels.

She exudes charm and confidence as she walks casually. She doesn't even need to act. She just needs to show her confident and radiant side.

When I go out for activities, I have to face the cheers of various audiences. I’m used to it.

So I acted with ease!
This scene looks hilarious and exciting in the movie, but it was actually very boring and tedious when filmed live, and the effect is not that good.

It will be much better after post-processing and special effects processing.

But that 500 million U.S. dollars was like raining money throughout the entire venue, and the audience's cheers were real.

Of course money is a prop!

This scene was filmed at night, and the crew started to wrap up after the filming. Liu Tianxian was sitting in front of the mirror in the dressing room, with a makeup lady removing his makeup.

"Sister Xixi, your makeup has been removed. I'm going to go out first." said the makeup lady.

Liu Tianxian nodded, looked at herself in the mirror and the man standing behind her, her face turned very unhappy and she was too lazy to talk to him.

Valentine's Day just passed two days ago, and this man acted as if nothing happened and didn't show any expression.

"What's wrong? Are you still angry?" Fang Hong supported her shoulders.

"Go away!" Liu Tianxian shrugged and said angrily, "Do you know what day it is today?"

"What date? Didn't the Chinese Valentine's Day pass? Now that it's over, just let it go and stop thinking about it." Fang Hong coaxed.

Liu Tianxian tried her best to suppress her anger: "I can ask nothing of you on Qixi Festival, but don't you know what day it is today? Don't you have any expression?"

"I don't know what you are talking about! Is there anything special today?" Fang Hong asked.

Liu Tianxian was furious. If possible, she really wanted to beat this man up and then see what was thinking in his mind.
I didn’t show any expression on the Chinese Valentine’s Day the day before yesterday, so I just assumed that this man doesn’t like to celebrate this kind of holiday.

Today is her birthday, but she still didn't show any appreciation. She actually forgot about it and doesn't care at all.

This made her very sad. She felt that she was not taken seriously at all. Moreover, it was almost 12 o'clock and her birthday had passed, but she didn't even get a word of blessing.

In the past, our relationship was shallow and we were far apart, but I would still call each other specifically to express my blessings.

Now that the relationship is deeper, I don't care about this thing anymore. Are all men like this? Once they get the girl, they don't care about anything else.

She didn't want any gifts from this man, she just wanted him to show his appreciation for her.

"Hey, Xiao Feifei, don't be angry all the time. I heard that women age faster when they are angry." Fang Hong continued to coax her, not realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Just let me die of old age!" Liu Tianxian rushed.

"How can this be? I'm still so young and you're getting old fast. What should I do if you're not worthy of me?" Fang Hong teased her.

"Get out of here right now. I don't want to see you again."

Liu Tianxian turned around and pushed him. It was so infuriating that he still had the mind to smile at her.
