Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 305 Digital Film and Television Base
Last night Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian chatted until midnight. There were many topics to talk about. That's how couples are. As long as they like each other, they can have a great chat about anything, whether it's about food or not.

If you don't like each other, no matter what topic you talk about, the other person won't bother to pay attention to you, like a dog licker.

Then they got tired of playing and just lay down together!
When Fang Hong came out of his room in the morning, he happened to see Liu Tianxian walking out of the room.

When the two saw each other, they smiled knowingly. Fang Hong asked, "Why are you grinning?"

"You're the one giggling!"

Liu Tianxian walked up to him and patted his head affectionately, saying that she was smiling foolishly so early in the morning.

In the morning, after Liu Tianxian finished her meal here, she stayed until noon, and Fang Hong drove her back home because she had elders at home who needed company.

After both parties have formally met their parents, the next step is to arrange a date for the elders of both sides to meet, which requires a buffer period.

Let Liu Xiaoli arrange it. In fact, this matter mainly depends on Liu Xiaoli's attitude. There is no other problem.

Liu Tianxian's family has many relatives and they are complicated. Her father has a new family and the relatives are also complicated. They need to communicate and discuss how to deal with it, and they also have to pay attention to etiquette.

It also depends on what Liu Xiaoli says, after all, he is my ex-husband!

Liu Xiaoli has only one daughter, and if she wants to get married, she must go through all the formalities and have a full sense of ceremony. It can't be so casual.

The sense of ritual is very important!
The box office of "The Demons 2" has declined recently, but not too drastically and has remained stable.

This movie also became a huge hit on the entire Internet, and also made many actors famous. Stephen Chow's movies are really good at making people famous, making stars like Wen Zhang, Shu Qi, Tang Yixin, and Xiao Zhu famous.

As the film was released, word of mouth and film reviews also appeared on a large scale on the Internet.

It can be said that the story of this movie is very bad, but it is not just Stephen Chow who has this problem. All big directors have this common problem, such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Daren. The movies are well-made, but the story is super bad.

But there are reasons why "Exorcist" became so popular. One is the influence of Stephen Chow himself, and the other is that this movie has many interpretations.

Interpreting Stephen Chow's life, filming it for his white moonlight, saying that he didn't cherish love, and all kinds of messy interpretations to gain sympathy.

It seems like no one has no regrets in life.

Any movie that becomes a big hit will have polarized reputation. This movie is one of them. Those who say it’s good are extremely good, while those who say it’s not good will complain about it crazily.

"Inspiration is exhausted, emotions are empty, repeating the past, and seeing a completely old Stephen Chow."

"It's a Stephen Chow imitation show. All the characters, big and small, male and female, old and young, gods and monsters, red flowers and green leaves, are all made from the same mold. Every character's words and deeds are conscientiously imitating Stephen Chow!"

"."

This is the evaluation of this movie. The audience does not see any particularly distinct characters. It seems that they are all funny for the sake of being funny, and they all have Zhou's comedy style.

But Huang Bo is definitely a highlight of this movie, contributing famous scenes and superb acting skills, which is completely different from previous Monkey Kings.

Huang Bo was really at the peak of his career during this era. From the Lunar New Year period to the Spring Festival period, he had three movies, and two of them were huge hits.

One is "Lost in Thailand" and the other is "Exorcist". Not only that, he acted in more than a dozen movies in a year.

Very productive, not to mention he also invests in film and television!

When Fang Hong signed Zhang Songwen in the past, he intended to have him replace Huang Bo's position in the film and television industry.

Nothing else, Zhang Songwen is easier to control.

But after making several films, he still didn't become popular. He was well-known, but the gap between him and Huang Bo was still far, and he didn't even win a mainstream award.

It really is true what the saying goes, it all depends on fate!
On February 2, "Fifty Shades of Grey" was released simultaneously in 13 theaters in North America, and earned US$3646 million on the first day.

It surpassed "The Great and Powerful" which was released on the same day and topped the North American box office champion of the season!

Spreading from North America, the film quickly swept the world, being released in 58 territories around the world.

I didn’t realize there were so many places to watch porn!

Since this movie is backed by the popularity of the novel, it is already extremely popular around the world, and many people are curious to watch it.

The international market exceeded 100 million US dollars on the first day. Due to the large number of countries, it is impossible to count all of them. We can only wait until next week to get specific data.

According to preliminary estimates, "Fifty Shades of Grey" will have a global box office of at least US$2 million in its first week.

Humans still like to watch erotica, SM and other such genres, and some audiences even go to the IMAX screen to watch them!

It would be great if I could watch it with Liu Tianxian, so she could see how others play.

In fact, this movie is not good to watch and is bland throughout. It has been criticized by audiences all over the world, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of only 25%, and has been criticized to pieces.

But that didn't stop it from being popular. The audiences were like their souls and desires being torn apart. On one hand, they complained that it was a bad movie, while on the other hand, they secretly ran to the cinema to watch "New Pose"!
The Hollywood Reporter published an article saying: "As the first film in the trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey is very attractive to fans of the original novel and many young men and women. It can be called a phenomenal film in every aspect.

Although the book's erotic scenes were toned down in the film, which received an R rating, it was still the first Hollywood blockbuster in years to boldly show eroticism. Unlike films like 9 1/2 Weeks that flirted with male audiences, this film was shot from a female perspective.

As long as the film is made for women, there is no need to worry about not making money. A woman leads a man, and then has sex, and experiences the wax dripping, bondage, and whipping in the movie, which is very exciting.

When a man is satisfied, he doesn't care whether the movie is good or not.

Variety magazine said: "Relying on the excellent performances of two young actors, the production team adapted the novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" into a cunning tragicomedy, waving whips and playing with dripping wax. It is really gratifying that the film cuts out large sections of inner monologues in the original book. The camera control is also very good. In addition, the heroine in the movie successfully performed the feeling of the little girl losing her innocence and gradually developing self-confidence."

TimeOut reported: "I'm not happy with the film's restrained tone. It's like going to Disneyland and only riding the monorail."

The New York Times commented: "The director successfully removed some of the flaws in the original work, and the heroine's performance was smart and convincing, although she did not have a strong chemistry with the male protagonist."

"."

Mainstream media around the world have reported on this phenomenal movie, and some media even felt that the film was too restrained and should be bolder and more open.

Can it be released if it is allowed to be filmed? That would be the same as AV.

As "Fifty Shades of Grey" continues to be a global hit, Fang Hong has already arranged how to spend the money for the film.

Part of it will be used to build a digital film and television production base for making their own movies, so they won’t have to rent from China Film Group anymore.

This base is mainly used to prepare for the upcoming shooting of special effects blockbusters such as "Gravity" and "Interstellar" and to build good infrastructure.

The Oriental Movie Metropolis in Qindao has not been built yet, so we can only build it ourselves and wait for it to be built, which may take a long time.

China was later able to shoot special effects blockbusters because the Oriental Movie Metropolis in Qindao had the most advanced studios and hardware facilities in the world.

Later special effects blockbusters such as "The Great Wall", "The Wandering Earth", "Assassination of Novelist", and "Fengshen" were all shot here.

Pacific Rim 2 was also filmed here.

The original intention was to attract Hollywood film producers, but those who understand know, and those who don’t understand can’t say anything. So although Oriental Movie Metropolis is awesome, with dozens of top-notch studios, it has never been very popular, because the domestic film and television market can’t afford it at all, and it can only become a decoration. Even its partner Wanda had to withdraw.

That’s a story for later and has nothing to do with Fang Hong.

He wants to build his own digital film and television base, which will not be open to the public, nor should he want to show off his achievements. He will just use it as an internal film and television base.

Not only do we make movies, we also make TV series and web series, and we make full use of them to make a one-stop production process, which brings together production and post-production.

In the future, if you can avoid running around during filming or post-production, then do so. This will save time and production costs to the greatest extent possible.

In addition, many professional shooting, virtual reality shooting, motion facial capture and other technologies also require a special place as a site for technology development or research.

The construction of the film and television base is expected to cost 21 billion yuan, divided into three phases, with 7 million yuan in the first phase. It is a cooperative project between Zhonghuajia and Yutu, and the land will be provided by the new town of HR District.

The China Film Digital Base is here. It has not been overdeveloped and there are still many farmlands. It looks quite desolate. Later, the new campus of Beijing Film Academy will also be moved here.

So this place is intended to be built into a new film capital, and Yutu happens to be a suitable professional, so it is quite easy to get the land.

If you want to take Yutu, 500 acres will be enough, 16 yuan per acre, which is about 1 million yuan.

In fact, the flower growers just pay money to let them participate in name only, just to create a pretext and make the accounts easier. This money cannot be given as it will be very troublesome if it is given.

As for who this digital film and television base belongs to, of course it belongs to Yutu, which has increased its company's fixed assets.

Yutu is still in debt, and with its current profitability it cannot afford to build such a film and television base. Flower Growers cannot afford it either, but if the two companies join forces they can extend the time and still make it possible.

As for the land acquisition process, we had already sought approval from the local government years ago. After approval, it was handed over to a third-party planning institute to design the building. After the design is completed, construction can begin, and Yutu is only responsible for "paying" and acceptance.

This is where part of the flower growers' money goes. It will probably cost tens of millions of dollars, but it is not all spent at once. It will probably take two to three years.

The other part, of course, was to buy Nvidia shares. Meng Jun, the financial officer and secretary to the board, called and told Fang Hong that Nvidia's current market value had reached 76 billion US dollars.

It’s very close to the 75 billion dollars that Fang Hong mentioned before, so it’s almost time to buy it.

This market value was already the last critical point. When the market value reached its lowest point of 12 billion US dollars in December, Fang Hong had no money.

There will be no such market value in the future.

If you don't buy shares, the bigger you grow, the less money you will have. In the early stages of development, any company that wants to quickly capture the market needs huge amounts of money.

However, the production of movies is still too slow and is increasingly unable to keep up with the pace of development.

Buying shares is not without benefits. There will be dividends every quarter. Take Nvidia as an example. After it rose, it paid out dividends of over 10 billion dollars every quarter, which is very generous.

The chairman of the board is also a shareholder, so the dividends are equivalent to being distributed to himself.

On February 2, the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, Fang Hong drove to the gate of Liu Tianxian's villa, but stopped at the door without going in.

Liu Tianxian was already waiting and walked over with his hands behind his back.

The car window rolled down slowly, and Fang Hong appeared in front of her with a rose in his mouth. He looked like a middle school boy and was quite childish.

"Come and bite it." Fang Hong stretched his head while biting the flower.

There are many tricks. Liu Tianxian moved away from him, put their faces close together, and bit the flower stalk.

"Do you like it?" Fang Hong loosened his mouth and kissed her on the face.

"Just one?" Liu Tianxian held the flower in her hand, not very satisfied. It was too little.

“This is called the only one.”

Fang Hong turned around and took out a bunch of packaged roses from the back seat. They were bright and beautiful. He handed them to her and said, "This is called forever!"

That is 99 flowers!
Liu Tianxian's eyes curved into beautiful crescents. She reached out and held it in her hands. She smelled the intoxicating fragrance and felt happy and full of love.

This was the first time the man gave her a rose.

She inserted that one and said, "Does this represent a happy marriage?"

"Yes." Fang Hong nodded.

Liu Tianxian smiled gently and handed him the gift she had prepared: "This is for you."

Fang Hong looked at the square packaging box: "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look." Liu Tianxian said.

Fang Hong opened the box and found a ceramic cup with a handle inside. The pattern on it was like a starry sky, very artistic, and there were also two letters "FL" reflected on it with a heart in the middle of the letters.

F is the first letter of Fang Hong's name; L is the first letter of Liu Tianxian's name, the meaning is obvious.

"This is a couple's cup. I have one exactly the same. Don't lose it or break it. Take good care of it." Liu Tianxian said seriously.

Fang Hong felt that this was a heavy task. He had to customize a ceramic cup that couldn't break. What if it broke?
"What's the moral of this?"

"A lifetime!" Liu Tianxian said softly.

Cup, life, is a homonym for this. Fang Hong felt that the task was even more difficult. He had to treasure it. If it was broken, their happiness would be broken as well.

Although the gifts given by the two were not very expensive, they represented their respective thoughts.

Liu Tianxian looked down at the flower in her hand, sniffed it, and looked up and asked, "Do you have anything else to do? Where are you going?"

"The company has an appointment, I'm going to discuss something." Fang Hong put down the cup.

This is a matter for NVIDIA, which needs to be discussed and arranged in advance. Without his approval, Meng Jun, the finance director and secretary to the board, dare not go ahead with the operation.

There is nothing else to say. The amount is huge, hundreds of millions at any time. Who dares to make the decision?

"You still have to work today?" Liu Tianxian looked distressed. Everyone was resting, but this man still had to go to work.

"Yes, it's for things happening in the United States." Fang Hong said.

The U.S. stock market changes every day. If you don’t seize the opportunity, you will lose a lot of money. Besides, others don’t celebrate the Spring Festival.

"Then be careful on the road."

Liu Tianxian leaned forward and put her face close to his.
