Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 257 Capital Views
The Charity Bazaar was still going on. After Jing Tian received the items for auction, she sat back in her seat.

Fang Hong looked at her. She was just a simple little girl who didn't seem very mature yet and was a little reserved when being noticed.

He was not as carefree and casual as he was later on.

Then the lights in the venue dimmed, becoming dark and ambiguous, and Lang Lang came on stage and played "March of the Sea". The melody was surging, like one wave after another.

Liu Jiang raised his wine glass and gestured to everyone present, who then raised their glasses and took a sip.

When the boss toasts you, you still have to drink.

The piano was played for a long time, and then the host came on stage to introduce how the Yanran Foundation helps those children. It was very touching.

The camera also turned to Wang Fei and Li Yapeng. Li Yapeng sat upright, while Wang Fei still looked like a resentful woman. She was too lazy to pay attention and was playing with her mobile phone.

Li Yapeng went on stage to give a speech and everyone applauded, but she still looked that horrible.

"They used to be such a loving couple and looked very happy, but now they are silent." Liu Tianxian looked towards Wang Fei's table and gossiped in a low voice with her head tilted.

She has never seen Wang Fei say a word or show any expression until now, and he has always looked serious.

"Your personalities are incompatible and you are destined to divorce." Fang Hong turned his head and took a look.

Wang Fei advocates freedom, and Li Yapeng comforts him a little.

He wants stability and a woman to stay at home to take care of her husband and children, but Li Yapeng does not have the ability to support a family. Not only does he always fail in his business ventures, but he also always consumes a woman.

So it's very contradictory. He wants his wife to be a good wife and mother at home, but he has no ability, and yet he has to rely on his wife's fame to support his career.

In fact, Wang Fei has a pretty good temper. When Dou Wei became an immortal and wanted to live an immortal life, she didn't say anything bad about her ex-husband, and she didn't say anything bad about Li Yapeng when she divorced him.

He had been in and out of relationship with Xie Bi Wang for decades, and even when Xie Bi Wang married Zhang, he never said a bad word about either of them.

If it were any other actress, she would have slandered her ex-husband to death, like that so-and-so.

"Are you so sure?" Liu Tianxian looked at him.

"I calculated with my fingers and I think we'll get divorced next year." Fang Hong raised his hand and counted on his fingers, squinting his eyes, looking like a charlatan.

Liu Tianxian laughed, hit him, and looked at Wang Fei's table.

Celebrities also chase stars, and Liu Tianxian is no exception.

Jing Tian had been paying attention to the two of them. Seeing them chatting happily, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"What are you guys talking about so happily?"

At this time, Deng Chao came back. He had just gone to the stage to be a celebrity volunteer. That is, whoever took the photo of the item, he would stand by and take photos with them.

Liu Tianxian retracted her gaze: "Hey, where's your boyfriend? Why didn't he come today?"

"Something happened at home, so I can't come."

Deng Chao smiled and then asked, "Tianxian, is there any change in your agency contract?"

"No, my agency contract has not changed." Liu Tianxian didn't understand what the other party meant by asking this question.

But she didn't ask, she wasn't that curious.

"Oh!"

Deng Chao nodded and glanced at Fang Hong. It seemed that the principal did not invest in Liu Tianxian's agency, nor did he interfere in its agency business.

There are so many movies, I envy them.

He cooperated with Guangxian, and Guangxian took away part of his profits.

"I am planning to open my own studio recently, and also plan to open a film and television company with Yu Baimei." Deng Chao said.

"Then congratulations, you're going to be the boss." Liu Tianxian clasped his fists.

Jing Tian and the people present were also listening, with no intention of interrupting.

"What kind of boss is he? He's just working for someone else." Deng Chao laughed at himself. Guangxian also wanted to take away most of the shares of this company.

All celebrities are like this now. When they reach a certain level, they open a studio or a film and television company, and seem to be independent, but they all need to find a backer, just like Liu Tianxian who later relied on Tencent.

Investing in making movies is not that easy. The market has grown and the times are slowly changing. It is no longer possible for one person to fight alone like Fang Hong did in the past.

However, things were relatively restrained in 12 and not as exaggerated as they were later. Everyone came to share the cake.

Fang Hong didn't say anything. It had nothing to do with him!

"Everyone is like this. Take your time, and things will get better." Liu Tianxian encouraged.

Deng Chao smiled and changed the subject: "I also want to ask the principal how to make a good movie."

"We were just shooting randomly at that time, without much consideration." Fang Hong said casually.

"It's okay as long as random shots can get box office results. I just pray that my movies don't flop." Deng Chao joked.

He plans to organize his own group to shoot "Breakup Master"!
Fang Hong didn't say anything. It had nothing to do with him!
Stars like them either organize their own film productions or rely on film and television companies with resources.

If you want to wait for resources or wait for others to invite you to film, then you have time to wait.

After Deng Chao's "The Four", he also encountered the dilemma of having no movies to shoot, except for his own "Bad Guys" and "The Breakup Guru".

It took only a few years to shoot "Chinese Partners" and "The Sun Also Rises", but it was not until 16 that we could see "The Mermaid".

However, these are the resources given to him by Guangguang. He has basically no access to other circles and there are no resources for him.

If you mean waiting for the movies by Zhang Yimou, Tseung Kwan and Stephen Chow, then haha!
Not to mention that they only start working once every few years, whether they want you to act or not is another matter.

In this circle, it’s not about whoever has good acting skills will be complimented, saying, “Oh, you have such strong professional skills, come and act in my play.”

That’s not the case. Everyone has their own circle.

There are a lot of people with good acting skills, and there are also a lot of people who are cheap and easy to use. Why should we choose you?
Just like Shen Teng, most of the good resources were provided by Happy Twist, and the ones he took on outside, such as "The Ring", "Ace of Comedy" and "Mr. Tumor", were either bad or not good enough.

It's just consuming your value. You say you want to get someone else's show, but that's unless you are the only one who can play it.

Good movies are for their own people. For example, as Wang Jin said nicely, "The Man from Macau" and "Chasing the Dragon" are all for the actors in the Hong Kong circle.

Many people wonder why Shen Teng is still staying in the company if he doesn't have any shares in Happy Twist. The reason is simple: Happy Twist has a whole team to create for him.

Let's give it a try if he leaves. Regardless of whether he can continue to make a living after he leaves, the entire team will support other people. That's the reality.

Your acting is good, and their acting is not bad either!
So this is the circle. Even if you become famous and prove your own value, if you are not in this circle, others may not necessarily use you.

Especially for big directors, they themselves are a guarantee of box office success!

Just like King Liu, he always asks for roles on various occasions, saying that there are roles for him. But there are actually only a few people who look for him, and they are still those from the Hong Kong circle.

Guo Fan and Ning Hao were all after he integrated into this side and had dealt with them for many years. Of course, it is not so easy to rely on big capital. Everyone wants to rely on capital, but capital has no shortage of obedient people, so why would they support you?

In addition to being obedient, you have to work hard to create value on your own.

People will continue to give you resources and films only when they can make money from you. If you don't obey, they will kill you no matter how capable you are.

In the eyes of capital, you are not indispensable. If you don’t do it, there are plenty of people who will.

Deng Chao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the principal's indifferent expression towards him. It seemed that the principal had no interest in him.

In fact, he wanted to try to bring Fang Hong in, provide him with projects, and also leverage the resources of Guangxian and Yutu.

But Fang Hong was not impressed at all. In his eyes, he had the same view as the capital, that he wanted obedient people. In his eyes, Zhang Songwen and Xie Miao were the ones who had professional ability and were obedient.

Liu Tianxian understood Deng Chao’s thoughts, as she had experienced the same thing before, but she didn’t care about it now.

Others just stay out of it as it has nothing to do with them!

"Wow!"

Just when the auction was boring, Fang Long bought a brand-name bag for 50 and gave it to Li Bailian who was standing next to him.

There was constant cheering at the scene. Li Bailian was very surprised and stood up, bowed and thanked repeatedly.

But Fang Long did not lose out. The Moutai he donated was bought by Li Bailian at a high price of 300 million yuan. These two people really know how to have fun.

Li Bailian also explained: "I have a good friend who is a fan of Fang Long. Before coming here, I asked her to help me take a picture of this bottle of wine."

Isn’t it just because you are afraid that your things will not be sold at a high price?

What's even more outrageous is that Feng Kuzi painted a very abstract painting. Xiao Wang, Su Mang and Liu Jiang bid against each other and the price of the painting was raised to 1700 million.

These people really know how to have fun. Fang Hong couldn't appreciate the painting.

But only those with ability will be lifted up!
This is the difference between a great director and an actor. A great director can become the cornerstone of a company, but an actor is far from that!

If Fang Hong goes on stage and takes out anything, people will probably buy it for millions of dollars.

"Principal, why aren't you taking pictures?" Su Mang came over again, put his hand on his shoulder, and brought some wine.

Now that the auction is over and the fun has begun, all parties have started discussing heroes over wine at the table again.

"I don't have anything I like." Fang Hong said.

"You can also bring your unused items to our auction, even manuscripts and artworks. We will donate them in your name as charity." Su hurriedly explained.

Just draw anything or produce anything, and there will be a bunch of people rushing to take pictures of it.

What is photographed is not things, but human nature!

"Next time, if I have one." Fang Hong said perfunctorily, not wanting anyone's favors.

"Okay, let's have a drink." Su hurriedly raised his glass.

Fang Hong picked up the wine glass and was about to clink it with hers.

"Why is this champagne? Change the wine and let's drink." Su hurriedly took back the wine glass and refused to clink it with him.

"I can't drink." Fang Hong said.

"How can he not know how to drink? Everyone who comes here has to drink." Su Mang didn't believe that he didn't drink.

"Drink if you want." Fang Hong said stiffly.

I'm quite annoyed with her. She always comes over to talk a lot and doesn't care what he drinks.

They either asked him to bid for something or to donate something for auction. It would be fine if he could just donate some money for a meal. Why are they asking for so much?

Who says he is the boss? If the boss is not proactive, how can the people who follow him be proactive?

These sudden words startled Liu Tianxian, who was chatting with Jing Tian, ​​and she turned to look at the two of them.

"Then it's up to you, Principal. I'll drink this cup." Su Mang also had a bad look on his face. He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Fang Hong took a sip casually to deal with it.

After Su Mang left, Liu Tianxian held his hand.

Fang Hong indicated that everything was fine.

The scene was filled with people toasting each other and socialites wandering around everywhere.

From time to time, people would come to toast Fang Hong, but no one cared what he drank and he would just drink it in one gulp.

"Tianxian, you have to come to the premiere of my "The Chinese Zodiac"!" Fang Long came over.

"Brother, I will go if I am free." Liu Tianxian picked up the wine glass and stood up to face him, speaking ambiguously.

Although they cut ties, Liu Tianxian remained kind, so their relationship did not break down.

At least it looks good on the surface.

"My premiere is in December. Just set aside half a day. It won't waste much of your time." Fang Long invited again.

He attached great importance to the premiere of this movie and made it a big event. It was held in the National Stadium and hosted by Sa Beining. It was similar to an award ceremony and many celebrities attended.

The combination of Vanlong, Huayi and Emperor Entertainment Group should not be underestimated.

"It's still early. If I'm free, I'll definitely come." Liu Tianxian was polite but not embarrassed.

She went there in her previous life, and Leehom Wang was there too!

"All right!"

Fang Long clinked glasses with her, and then said to Fang Hong: "Principal, you can come too."

"If I'm free, I'll definitely come." Fang Hong said the same thing.

This made Fang Long feel a little embarrassed. Why did the two of them use the same rhetoric?

The award ceremony ended here. Everyone was relatively restrained, unlike last time where they had to curse at each other.

Last time there was no CCTV and no audience.

This time, the audience entered the venue and CCTV was also there, so everyone was quite concerned about their image.

As for what happened after the Bazaar Charity ended, no one knew. Anyway, Fang Hong saw several big bosses hugging several pretty young ladies, with their hands on their buttocks.

The laughter and joyful scene make people envy them for having such a beautiful "love"!
