Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 298 Audacity
The 2013 Spring Festival Gala was still directed by Ha Wen, and continued last year's visual feast, using 3D technology and holographic projection technology.

International artist Celine Dion was also invited to sing the songs.

This Spring Festival Gala was later called the best one by netizens.

There’s nothing we can do about it, the subsequent Spring Festival Galas were just too bad!

Originally, Fang Hong was invited to watch this year's Spring Festival Gala. After all, he is the most successful entrepreneur in the cultural field this year, or even in recent years.

But Fang Hong declined and stayed at home to accompany his mother.

Just like in previous years, although the house was festive, the mother and son still spent the New Year at home in a dull manner.

"Come here, Mom. I'll pour you a glass of red wine. This wine can beautify your skin and keep you young forever." Fang Hongqi opened the red wine bought by Liu Tianxian and poured it directly for her mother.

There's no point in sobering up. I don't have that taste.

Xu Liyun was amused and laughed: "This wine is so expensive, I am embarrassed to drink it."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? You bought it to drink. You left it there. If she saw there was still some, she won't buy it next time." Fang Hong said indifferently.

"That's such a waste of money." Xu Liyun said.

"She spends hundreds of thousands for each event. If you save money for her, you are hindering China's GDP and our country's economic development." Fang Hong said jokingly.

Xu Liyun was amused and laughed: "A few hundred thousand is so little, it must be very hard!"

"Hard work? Hundreds of thousands in just a few hours, millions in a day." Fang Hong listed them all.

Xu Liyun was secretly shocked when she heard this. Ordinary people like them could never earn that much in their entire lifetime.

Here Fang Hong made her mother happy.

Liu Tianxian's house was also lively over there. In addition to her mother, there were also her grandparents, and even her aunt and uncle.

The whole family sat around the dining table, having a great time.

"Grandpa and grandma, please eat your food."

Liu Tianxian stood up and picked up some food for her grandparents, then picked up some food for her aunt and uncle: "Aunt and uncle, you eat too."

"Our Xixi has grown into a grown-up girl." Aunt Zhou Wenqiong joked at the dinner table.

The others also laughed happily, knowing in their hearts what the purpose of their visit was.

I've seen the guy in his photo. Although he's not very handsome, he's not bad either. As long as Xixi likes him, they don't care what the other person looks like.

"Oh, auntie, please stop making fun of me." Liu Tianxian blushed and hit the air.

"Tell us, what kind of character does this person have?" My aunt put her hands on the table and pretended to listen carefully.

"As for his character, it's neither good nor bad, but he's very nice to me. He thinks of me and takes care of my emotions. He tells me everything and we get along well. He's sincere to me." Liu Tianxian said seriously.

He is sincere to her, but he is full of conspiracies and tricks to outsiders. For example, this time he is going to fire a blank shot, which is just nonsense.

"It's enough for me to treat you well. We don't ask for too much." Grandma said kindly.

"I know, grandma." Liu Tianxian nodded.

Liu Xiaoli put her hand on Liu Tianxian's arm and said to the others, "I've met this boy a few times. He's quite good. He has ideas and is decisive. We don't ask him to be a good person in front of outsiders, but we ask him to be good to his family. That's enough."

She even spoke up for Fang Hong, simply because she had been seeing it all over the place over the past few years.

Although there are problems of various kinds, she still approves of what she has done as she has been with her daughter all the way.

"Yes, the real thing is to live your own life well. Others can't live our lives for us." My aunt agreed.

Liu Tianxian watched and listened to her family members talking to each other, the topic always revolving around what was best for her, and she felt comforted in her heart.

Although the man never said it, he has always been doing so.

After they finished eating and chatting, the family organized a game of mahjong together. This is usually how they spend the New Year, either playing mahjong or sitting together as a family, eating melon seeds and chatting.

On the other side, Fang Hong and his mother were urged to get married after dinner. Xu Liyun said, "Son, don't just focus on your career. I think that girl treats our family very well and wants to get married."

"I haven't even met all of her family members, it's too early to talk about marriage." Fang Hong said.

From the beginning until now, he has only met Liu Tianxian's parents. When he saw her father, he just glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"Then you should have a good talk with Xixi. You have been talking for such a long time, and it's time to make plans for the next step." Xu Liyun urged.

"I"

Just as Fang Hong was about to speak, he felt his cell phone vibrate. He picked up the phone and saw that the number was "Liu".

He said "hush" to his mother.

"Come over tomorrow!" Liu Tianxian was the first to speak, sounding quite positive.

At this time, she was in her room, lying on her bed. She had just finished chatting with her elders, who were playing mahjong when she had time to come up.

"I would have gone there even if you hadn't told me." Fang Hong said.

He got closer and listened to the conversation between the two with his ears perked up.

"Then you should dress nicely tomorrow." Liu Tianxian said.

"Even if you don't tell me, I would wear something nice." Fang Hong said again.

Xu Liyun hit her son and told him to speak nicely. He always said the same line.

"You deserve a beating, don't you?" Liu Tianxian said to him.

"Just kidding. I'm just curious. You never invited me to your New Year's celebration in previous years, so why did you invite me this year?" Fang Hong said.

In previous years, he would shamelessly go to Liu Tianxian's house to pay New Year's greetings, but this year it was Liu Tianxian who took the initiative to invite him.

"I'm going to take you to meet someone." Liu Tianxian said directly.

"Meeting whom?"

Fang Hong was surprised and glanced at his mother.

Xu Liyun had a serious look on her face and sat closer, listening more attentively.

If you want to meet someone on this day, it's either your relatives or your elders. Outsiders usually don't go to other people's homes on this day. They only visit relatives.

Besides, when meeting outsiders, he would not say it specifically.

"You'll know when you come." Liu Tianxian kept it a secret.

"Okay, let me make it clear first, I won't meet ordinary people. You know I am of noble status." Fang Hong joked.

"Tsk, I don't care whether you are noble or not. If you don't behave yourself, I will suppress you." Liu Tianxian said mischievously.

"How do you suppress it? Are you going to put your legs on me?" Fang Hong asked with a smile.

"I'm going to put my legs on you." Liu Tianxian said.

She doesn't sleep well and often bends her legs and presses them on people.

After the two slept in the same bed, their relationship became much closer. It was okay to talk nonsense. If Xu Liyun hadn't been here, they would have turned to dirty jokes. Xu Liyun listened to the two talking nonsense for a long time, and she couldn't help but lose her patience and was too lazy to listen.

Liu Tianxian didn't hang up the phone and continued chatting: "Hey, what are you doing now?"

"Chatting with my mother." Fang Hong said.

"Oh, your mother is here too." Liu Tianxian's voice suddenly became smaller.

"Yes, do you want to say a few words?" Fang Hong handed the phone to his mother.

"."

Before Liu Tianxian could say anything, she heard a rustling sound and knew that the phone was in Xu Liyun's hands.

I also heard Xu Liyun's voice: "Xixi, Happy New Year."

"Auntie, Happy New Year."

Liu Tianxian was polite, and then said: "I have guests at home today, I really can't go over to accompany you, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. I have Hong Hong to accompany me. You can do your own thing." Xu Liyun was considerate and added, "I also drank the red wine you bought today."

"Um, is it delicious?" Liu Tianxian was surprised.

"I can't tell whether it tastes good or not. It feels no different from ordinary wine." Xu Liyun said.

"You haven't sobered up yet? It should taste better if you sober up."

"Sober up? What does sobering up mean?" Xu Liyun didn't understand.

"Fang Hong should be able to do it, since he didn't help you sober up." Liu Tianxian said.

"No, he just fell down." Xu Liyun said.

Liu Tianxian was speechless: "He doesn't know anything. I'll pour it for you next time."

"."

The two of them could chat for a long time with a bottle of wine. Fang Hong sat next to them and watched his mother laughing, but he had no idea what they were talking about.

Not long after, the call was hung up. Xu Liyun was curious: "Son, who did she want you to meet?"

This is what she cares about.

"Either they are relatives from her father's side or relatives from her mother's side. I guess they are relatives from her mother's side. After all, her mother and father have been divorced for many years." Fang Hong analyzed.

Liu Tianxian has a much better relationship with her mother's relatives than her father's, and they often take photos together.

Her father has his own family now, which is somewhat inconvenient. She has lived with her mother for so many years, so she must be closer to her mother's relatives.

"Son, behave well." Xu Liyun was happy and patted her son on the shoulder.

I didn't expect that what I thought would come true.

Tomorrow is the day when "The Demons Are Coming" is released.

At 6 o'clock this evening, Yutu released an announcement: "Now You See Me is withdrawn due to technical reasons."

A very simple sentence, no extra explanation needed.

This news did not cause any response outside, but it caused a sensation within the circle.

Everyone was so surprised that the principal actually fired a blank shot and played it like this. It really broadened their horizons.

Wang Changtian, Yu Pangzi and other film and television bosses couldn't help but curse: "This is too shameless."

They always thought that the principal would not be so low-key and must have a backup plan, just like when he brought in the feminist movement, and everything was calm in the early stages. They didn't expect that he would not play tricks on them.

Let you spend more money, give you rebates, and let you promote!

Even Manager Lei of China Film Group, who has always had a good relationship with Fang Hong, couldn't help but curse him as "shameless".

I told him before that we could let Tupiaopiao distribute the film this time so we wouldn't bother China Film Group, but I didn't expect that they had no plans to release it at all.

But these are all business wars, we can’t control them.

Zuoshandiao shook his head, but he could only let it go. Now it was a free market. With or without Chinese films, they could contact theaters for distribution. As long as they had the channels, it would be fine.

"Fuck the principal's ancestors for eighteen generations." Mr. Wang cursed loudly in Huayi's office.

They were busy for more than a month, running around the country to promote movies in cinemas and giving commissions to cinemas, just to get them to schedule more screenings of "The Demon King" to deal with the principal.

You let the principal fail in the Spring Festival period. Didn't you claim to have invested 3 million yuan? Then you will lose money and your film schedule will be infinitely compressed.

Not only does Jade Rabbit lose money, but Rabbit Money also loses money!
At least they could make some money, but they didn't expect that after the profits were given away, the principal would not play with them.

"12 points! We gave the cinema a full 12 points!" Mr. Wang said excitedly to his brother.

That is to say, if we add the original share of the cinema, they have to give 67% to the cinema. After deducting taxes and funds, they can only get 25%, which is still divided among the same number of investors.

And there are still costs to be deducted, so there is not much profit to be shared.

I don't know the exact box office amount, but it should be around 1.2 billion, so we can estimate it. But because of what the principal did, they lost at least million. How is this different from killing one's own parents?
This money could have been saved.

"You just take him too seriously." The king was also indignant.

"The current Yutu is completely different from the past. The previous Yutu could argue with us, let alone the current one." Mr. Wang said excitedly.

"You should have confidence in Master Xing. We may not lose even if you give us less rebate." The King said.

"I'm afraid the principal has a backup plan!" said Mr. Wang.

The King is always silent. Now Yutu Film and Television have both exploded. In the struggle before the addition, he was indeed traumatized by the principal. The main reason was that he had never won in the laning phase and wanted to win once.

Stephen Chow was also sad that he lost so much money for no reason.

Unless you are not afraid of offending the cinemas, you can withdraw the film like the principal did and the rebate promotion agreement will be invalidated.

But I dare not, because that would offend the cinema.

Others have already arranged to go to work, and if you don't let them show the movie and take away the agreed benefits, they will only hate you to death.

Only Jack Ma laughed: "Interesting."

This incident has truly made the entire film and television industry witness the principal's audacity, as he dared to openly fire blanks, even though Ali was involved.

So what if it's Alibaba? Fang Hong doesn't rely on them. Does Alibaba control the cinemas? Or does it control the channels in the entertainment field?

They don’t even have a video platform now.

It doesn't matter to the cinemas, as long as there are movies for them to show. It's difficult for them to schedule films when the two giants are fighting, and they don't have that many resources, so it's just right to let one of them go.

This is how it is, Fang Hong does not care about the reactions from all parties, reforms are being carried out at the higher levels, and the film and television industry will be liberalized in the future.

The entertainment industry will be a place for capital competition in the future!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Hong dressed neatly and set off for his mother-in-law's house.
