Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 287 Resolving the feud
The two sat side by side on the sofa, laughing and joking.

Fang Hong hugged her waist, leaning his body to press on her. She felt warm and plump, and felt very comfortable: "Xiao Feifei, you seem to have become fatter."

"Well! What do you mean?" Liu Tianxian also hugged him to keep his body from falling.

She wore a high-necked apricot sweater and casual trousers. The outfit was very figure-slimming and gave her an overall gentle and elegant look.

"I've gained weight." Fang Hong said.

"Really?" Liu Tianxian looked down at herself.

"Yes, it has become fat." Fang Hong rubbed her.

"roll!"

Liu Tianxian nudged him with her shoulder and asked if he could say something nicer.

"Oh, you are so domineering. I like it so much." Fang Hong spoke in a coquettish voice and leaned on her.

Liu Tianxian was amused by his actions and laughed out loud, her laughter could be heard from far away.

She stayed at home every day during this period and did gain some weight, but she can lose weight by exercising.

Fang Hong's disgusting look was completely different from the way he was doing his work just now.

He was doing his job like a real person just now, but now he is like a child.

Just as the two were laughing sweetly, there was a knock on the door.

"Someone is coming, get up." Liu Tianxian pushed him.

Fang Hong stood up and walked towards the door.

Liu Tianxian pulled her sweater and adjusted her clothes and hairstyle, which had just been messed up by this man.

Fang Hong watched her pack up and then opened the door.

Chen Zhixi walked in from the door and saw Liu Tianxian was there too. He greeted her, "Tianxian, you're here too."

"Yes, Sister Chen, we are going to his house for dinner in the afternoon, so we will wait for him here." Liu Tianxian explained.

Chen Zhixi nodded, realizing that the two had met their parents. It looked like good things were not far away, and she was really going to become the boss's wife.

Liu Tianxian asked: "Sister Chen, aren't you going to take a rest on New Year's Day?"

"How can you have time to rest? Mr. Fang doesn't rest, but we who work here have to work. I envy you for having such freedom." Chen Zhixi complained a little.

It means you don't care.

Liu Tianxian smiled and said, "It's not easy for us either."

The two chatted casually for a while and reestablished their relationship, putting aside their past grudges.

At the beginning, the relationship between the two was pretty good, but before a movie was about to be released, Liu Tianxian suddenly had an affair with Zeng. Chen Zhixi was very dissatisfied with this and spoke harshly about Liu Tianxian.

At that time, the relationship between the two had become strained and had always been in a lukewarm state. Now, one party took the initiative to say hello, and the other party responded, and what happened before was over.

After all, so much time has passed, and it is not an irreconcilable contradiction.

"Is there anything wrong?" Fang Hong asked.

"Oh, Huayi has taken action. They have started to implement rebate promotions and a model of subscribing to theaters." Chen Zhixi said.

As soon as Huayi made a move, they knew about it and had been paying attention to it. Besides, it was impossible not to notice such a big move.

Rebate promotions are nothing new in this industry.

"That's pretty quick. How much rebate did they give?" Fang Hong and Chen Zhixi sat down on the sofa.

Liu Tianxian stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them, looking very virtuous.

"I don't know. Ten points will be sold during the Spring Festival." Chen Zhixi sat opposite.

At that time, employees working in theaters received two or three times the salary. In addition, they were under pressure from filming "Now You See Me", so the rebate would not be too low.

"What do you think about putting more pressure on them, asking them to contribute more and spend more on advertising?" Fang Hong said.

"You can give it, just increase publicity."

Chen Zhixi added: "It's just that recently many theater managers called me and asked if we were really going to release it, and I was too embarrassed to say no."

"They also make money from this. If we get involved, we'll be competing with them, which is a waste of resources. I don't think they want to see that." Fang Hong said.

"Yes, I am just worried about one thing. I am afraid it will end badly."

Chen Zhixi looked at the two of them and said, "I'm afraid that 'Exorcist' will be withdrawn suddenly, and the cinema will have to work again. If our film is not well-posted by then, the cinema will definitely hate us and think we tricked them."

This is indeed a problem, Fang Hong thought with his head down.

In his previous life, Xu Guangtou played a trick like this. He said he would release it during the Spring Festival, but then he didn't release it and sold the copyright to Tik Tok.

The cinema has arranged to go to work, but when it opens there are no movies showing. It's so rude.

From then on, the entire industry boycotted it.

Of course Fang Hong dared to do this because he was certain that "The Demon King" would be released, and because of the combination of Alibaba and Huayi, there was no need to be afraid of him.

This ensures that there are movies showing in theaters and that employees don't have to work in vain.

As long as the movie is released, the cinema will not blame him. Instead, they will thank him for getting so many rebates for them.

Because theaters don't want to see two blockbusters competing with each other, as that would be a loss for them, as there are only so many screenings and they can't schedule more. Staggering is the best way to avoid wasting resources and maximize profits.

But if "The Monkey King" is also withdrawn, the cinemas will have to work and you will have no movies to give them, which will be very offensive.

Therefore, this strategy is a double-edged sword, and if not handled properly it may push him to the opposite side of the cinema.

This is also the reason why Fang Hong didn't tell anyone and only a few close confidants knew about it. He was afraid that the news would leak out and the movie would not be released.

Those who work in the later stages won’t know if the film is a finished product, because they only work on a small part of it.

This person does a small piece, that person does a small piece, and finally a team of high-level people put together the finished product.

So the level is low, and I don't know whether the film has been done well in the later stage. Liu Tianxian just sat quietly beside him, watching Fang Hong thinking.

She usually doesn't comment on such matters.

"Do we have a finished movie?" Fang Hong looked up.

"Yes, "Chinese Partners."" Chen Zhixi said.

"If Huayi withdraws the film, we will arrange for the film to be released to the theaters. We cannot let them work in vain. We need to plan the publicity plan in advance."

Fang Hong said again: "Of course, if "The Legend of Conquering the Demons" is not withdrawn, then we will ignore them."

If "Exorcist" was withdrawn because of his scare; or if they heard that "Now You See Me" was not done well in post-production, withdrawing it would be a counter-attack for them.

You said you would go during the Spring Festival, so go ahead!
Then Yutu will release "Chinese Partners" in theaters so that theaters will not be left without movies and theaters will not be offended.

But if "The Monkey King 2" is released, there will be no need to give "Chinese Partners" to theaters.

In fact, they are just worrying too much. There is no way Jack Ma will back down.

But it's better to be cautious.

"I thought so too." Chen Zhixi was just reminding Xia Hong that she was actually planning to do the same.

After the two of them finished making the arrangements, it was already afternoon, so the three of them got up and walked out. There were not many people working in the company, as most of them were on holiday, with only a few people left behind.

Now it's time to leave work early.

In the elevator, Fang Hong stood in the middle. Liu Tianxian took his arm and invited him across her line of sight: "Sister Chen, why don't we go eat together?"

"No, my house is already ready."

Chen Zhixi declined politely. Seeing the two's state, he said jokingly, "I won't disturb your family."

"We are still in love." Liu Tianxian glanced at Fang Hong and saw that he looked normal.

Chen Zhixi put his hand on Fang Hong's arm, smiled and said across his line of sight: "Then you better hurry up, our principal is a good person, there are a lot of girls in the company who like the principal, and there is also an 18-year-old girl named Ouyang Xue who asked me if the principal has a girlfriend."

"Oh, he is so popular, all the girls like him." Liu Tianxian smiled sweetly.

"That's not the case." Chen Zhixi said.

Hearing this, Fang Hong couldn't help but straighten his back and feel proud.

Seeing this, Liu Tianxian tightened her grip on his arm.

The two women talked and laughed, pretending the man in the middle didn't exist, and waved goodbye when they reached the garage downstairs.

Chen Zhixi had changed his car a long time ago to an Audi.

Fang Hong opened the door of Liu Tianxian's Ferrari and sat in the driver's seat. Liu Tianxian sat in the passenger seat as usual.

Generally, if Liu Tianxian came by car, I would drive Liu Tianxian's car so that she could go back at night.

It was white outside, with snowflakes all over the roadside. There was no traffic jam. After all, it was a holiday, so the two of them chatted casually.

Suddenly the phone in Fang Hong's pocket rang.

"Please answer the call for me. It should be my mother calling." Fang Hong said.

"Oh!"

Liu Tianxian leaned forward and reached his hand into his trouser pocket. He reached a little deeper and touched some unknown solid object.

This made her pause and look stunned.

Fang Hong turned his head and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Liu Tianxian took out her cell phone, her face flushed, and she stood there in a daze, recalling the thing she had just touched.

Fang Hong looked at her again with a half-smile in his eyes: "Answer it, it's been ringing for a long time."

"Oh!"

Liu Tianxian exhaled lightly, calmed herself down, swiped the screen of her phone, and put it to her ear: "Hello, Auntie."

"It's Feifei!" Xu Liyun was happy when she heard this voice. These two people should be together.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" Liu Tianxian asked politely.

"I just want to ask when you will come back. I have prepared the meal." Xu Liyun said on the phone.

"We are already on the way and will be there soon." Liu Tianxian said.

"That's good. Be careful on the road."

After Xu Liyun gave some instructions, the two hung up the phone.

After finishing the call, Liu Tianxian held the phone motionlessly, stunned again.

"Put the phone back in my pocket for me." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian looked at the phone, then looked at his trouser pocket, held the head of the phone and put it towards his pocket.

When approaching the pocket, the movement suddenly became cautious, as if there was a flood or a monster in it.

"What are you doing?" Fang Hong took a look.

"Put it aside yourself." Liu Tianxian threw the phone at him, and the phone fell into his crotch, hitting something it shouldn't have.

"What the hell!" Fang Hong held the steering wheel with both hands and almost jumped up.

"sorry Sorry."

Liu Tianxian quickly took the phone over again.
