Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 303 Don’t let the wealth go to outsiders

I chatted with Yu Xian for about two or three hours before I hung up. In fact, Yu Xian was quite lonely. He had no relatives in the United States and only had a few people with whom he had a good relationship.

And this day is a traditional festival, so there is a lot to talk about, and I talk more every time I call.

This time, the phone call was not only about reminiscing about the past, but also about work arrangements. It is impossible not to shoot a horror film, so we have to continue shooting, "The Purge 3".

The next step is to make a movie called "The Fault in Our Stars".

Yu Xian is not happy that he can’t keep making horror films, as he feels that it is trapping him.

After turning off the computer, Liu Tianxian was quite surprised and patted Hong's arm: "Hey, can that movie really win an Oscar?"

"The chance is very high, but it depends on how he shoots it. It's hard to say," said Fang Hong.

In fact, he also has an Oscar-winning movie "Birdman" on hand, but this movie is different from "Moonlight Boy".

The movie "Birdman" has a very unique artistic expression and profound social themes, reflecting modern people's anxiety and desire for individual existence.

And those old men on the judges can resonate with the sentiments of the stage plays in the movies. Early movies were a kind of stage plays.

There are many factors that contribute to winning an Oscar, and this movie was shot in the previous life like a prose poem, which could not have been made without accumulation.

Art films cannot simply copy other people’s ideas and expressions.

"Moonlight" is much simpler, politically correct, and has an all-black cast.

If Yu Xian only served as the producer of this movie and gave it to a black director to shoot, with all the actors being black, he would really be able to win an award. It depends on his own choice.

In the previous life, the main creators of this movie were all black, but the producer was a white man, and the Best Picture award was given to the producer.

So being just a producer doesn’t affect winning awards, and it’s not like I’m standing in the front.

"You speak so confidently about something you're not even sure about." Liu Tianxian said.

"You have to give him confidence. I said this. If he really wins the award, it will be my credit and he will thank me, right?"

Fang Hong patted himself and said, "If I don't win the award, it's because of Yu Xian's ability. Keep up the good work. It has nothing to do with me."

"You have taken all the blame. The blame is all theirs. It's all because of your clever tricks." Liu Tianxian said.

Fang Hong smiled and said nothing.

"Why don't you make some art films? You can win awards there too." Liu Tianxian faced him.

"I'm afraid that what I shoot won't be worth anything and it will be a waste of time. I couldn't afford the risk before, but now I don't seem to have such a strong desire." Fang Hong said.

Now he is moving towards capital, and big directors don't seem to have much desire for him. He makes special effects movies just to promote the Yutu Film Industry.

No one dares to make this kind of movie at this stage because the investment is huge and they can't afford the risk.

"Oh" Liu Tianxian understood.

Fang Hong looked at her and asked, "Do you want to act in an art film?"

Liu Tianxian nodded slightly and put her hand on his shoulder: "I am also a person who pursues something. Have you forgotten that I am an artistic young woman?"

"You are a pseudo-literary young woman." Fang Hong exposed her.

Liu Tianxian was unhappy and slapped him in the face.

"I have a notebook here, which is just right for an artistic young woman like you." Fang Hong opened the lower drawer, which was filled with piles of notebooks.

"Let me see." Liu Tianxian said.

Fang Hong took out one of the notebooks and handed it to her.

Liu Tianxian took it and sat down. She looked at the big words on the cover and whispered, "Love like a bouquet of flowers."

She turned to the first page and read the summary: It was a love story that lasted for several years, from the initial meeting and acquaintance, to mutual affection, to living together, and under the cruel reality, cracks gradually appeared.
There are no earth-shattering or spectacular emotional conflicts, just ordinary daily real life.

The heroine is an artistic young woman with niche hobbies, which is very suitable for her.

"Take this script home and study it carefully. It will definitely help you. From college to work, from the beauty of love to the trivialities of life, from similar interests and hobbies to inconsistent ideological values, all of these test an actor's acting ability and can hone you." Fang Hong said it very comprehensively.

"Well, I went home to watch it."

Liu Tianxian closed the notebook and placed it on the desk. She took it when she was leaving: "Let's go down and see what your mother is doing."

The two walked downstairs hand in hand. Xu Liyun was watching TV in the living room. While watching, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Liu Tianxian hurried forward and sat next to Xu Liyun, stroking her back.

I glanced at the TV and saw the TV series "My Love from the Star" was playing.

"The hero has to return to his planet and separate from the heroine. It's so touching." Xu Liyun wiped her tears.

"Didn't you finish reading it a long time ago?" Fang Hong sat on the other side of his mother, leaning against the back of the sofa, as if nothing had happened.

When he has nothing to do, he just watches Korean dramas at home. When he sees touching plots, tears fall. He is very emotional.

Korean dramas always end with people dying of cancer or something like that.

"This is the third time I've watched it. I can't get enough of it. It's so good." Xu Liyun likes watching idol dramas very much.

"TV dramas are all fake." Liu Tianxian comforted.

"I know, I just become like this when I see something touching. It's okay, you don't have to worry, I'll be fine after I calm down." Xu Liyun wiped away her tears.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian looked at each other and both smiled helplessly.

"Hey, son, why don't you let Xixi act in this TV series? It's such a good show." Xu Liyun calmed down.

This is the idea of ​​keeping the wealth within the family. "It's my aunt who I don't play," Liu Tianxian said.

"Ah? Why don't you act?" Xu Liyun was puzzled.

"TV dramas are of no help to me because I've already been famous. I've walked this path and there's no need for me to walk it again. Now I just want to act in good movies," Liu Tianxian explained.

"Is that so? Why do I feel that TV and movies are all the same? There's not much difference between them. On the contrary, TV is better to watch." Xu Liyun prefers watching TV. Movies are all about fighting and killing.

"Mom, this is her career plan. It's not about what kind of role she should play just because she is popular in a TV show or movie. It has to be suitable for her future path. You won't understand if I say too much." Fang Hong said.

Xu Liyun patted her son's leg impatiently.

"Auntie, I don't need to act in so many TV dramas. Just choose some movies that suit me. Besides, if I become too famous, I will be too busy and have no time for myself." Liu Tianxian said.

"Oh, I see!" Xu Liyun nodded.

In fact, she still didn't quite understand, but she didn't ask any more questions.

If a star is too popular, he or she will have no time for himself or herself. He or she will be constantly receiving invitations and business notices, and it is impossible for him or her to refuse everyone.

Besides, you cannot refuse many brand sponsors because you have signed a contract and you have to give them face and cannot offend them.

Just like Chen Xiao and Fan Xiaopang, they were still out doing business and attending to announcements during the Chinese New Year.

Don’t they want to take a break? They are so popular that they have to go to the brand sponsors. They pay for it, but also to consolidate the relationship.

So you don’t have your own time. The financial sponsors have bought out their time, bought out your value, and asked you to promote products everywhere.

Endorsing business activities is also a disguised form of promoting products!

In the afternoon, Liu Tianxian stayed at home with Xu Liyun, chatting and watching TV series. When they were happy, they would laugh like silver bells from time to time.

"Look, this is him when he was a child." Xu Liyun took out a photo album and pointed to a photo on it.

"Ahahahaha!" Liu Tianxian laughed loudly.

She saw that the photo showed Fang Hong as a little kid, naked with nothing on, and the little earthworm was exposed.

This is so interesting. She looked at Fang Hong and said, "You didn't wear any clothes when you were a child!"

"I guess that was when I was a few years old. It was normal to play around naked in the summer then. Wearing clothes was not conducive to heat dissipation. We didn't have air conditioning at that time." Fang Hong defended himself.

"He is just naughty." Xu Liyun's words brought Fang Hong back to his true colors.

"Chuckles!" Liu Tianxian laughed like a goose.

Fang Hong was puzzled: "Is it so funny? Which boy didn't have a naked bottom when he was a child?"

"Funny, very funny."

Liu Tianxian laughed so hard that she twitched. Infected by her, Xu Liyun also started laughing.

The three of them chatted for the whole afternoon. Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Liyun went to cook, while Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian stayed together.

"Take a picture of me and Heizi." Liu Tianxian handed her cell phone to Fang Hong.

Then he walked to Heizi and squatted down!
Fang Hong looked at the screen of his mobile phone and pointed to a location: "Go a little over there, the light over there is too dim."

Following the instructions, Liu Tianxian took Heizi to another place. Heizi was very obedient and did not show any signs of protesting. All women are tigresses.

"Is this okay?"

"Okay!" Fang Hong looked at the phone screen.

Liu Tianxian squatted down, put her hand on Heizi's neck, and made a "yeah" gesture to the front.

Fang Hong tapped the screen of his mobile phone and the picture froze!

"Let me see."

Liu Tianxian stood up and walked to Fang Hong, looking at the photos he took: "Not bad."

After all, Fang Hong is a director by profession and has a certain understanding of shooting techniques and lighting.

"Let's take a picture too." Liu Tianxian put her arms around Fang Hong's neck, raised her cell phone high, and kissed him on the face with a pouty mouth.

There was a "click" sound and the picture froze.

At this time, Xu Liyun was calling for dinner, so Liu Tianxian went to get the red wine that had been aerated in advance and poured it into a wine glass.

"Auntie, please try it."

Liu Tianxian placed the first glass of red wine on the table in front of Xu Liyun.

Xu Liyun picked up the red wine glass and took a sip, smacking her lips as she tasted it, while Liu Tianxian looked at her hopefully.

"It seems to be a little mellower." Xu Liyun said.

"Really?" Liu Tianxian was happy and poured a second cup for Fang Hong: "Try it too."

Fang Hong took a sip and just said "delicious", which was very perfunctory. In fact, he didn't taste anything.

Liu Tianxian gave him an unpleasant look, poured herself another cup, and then sat down in her seat.

"Auntie, I wish you good health."

"."

The three of them raised their glasses and clinked them in the air.
