Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 4: The Soulmate Effect
In the previous life, the drama "Those Years" only started filming at the end of 10, and it would not be released in mainland China until 12.

However, it had already been released in Hong Kong and Taiwan 11 years before. The reason for the delay was that the director mixed ideological selfishness into the film, so it had to be cut and re-shot before it could be released.

The reasons for the poor box office performance include being too Taiwanese, lax copyright management, and pirated copies from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Even so, it still earned more than 70 million at the box office, while the total investment in this movie was only 10 million.

Adding the box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan and various copyrights, it can be said that he made a lot of money.

"action!"

With Wang Laoer's shout, the filming continued, and Fang Hong sat behind the monitor to direct the filming.

Only Wang Laoer can shout the word "action", Fang Hong cannot shout it, because Wang Laoer wants to satisfy his desire to be a director.

It is said that this movie was made by Wang Laoer for Li Yundi, and the two of them have a mutual admiration for each other. But that's just what is said.

What is being filmed now is that Liu Tianxian discovered that Wang Laoer had cheated on her, so she was very sad and wanted to part ways with Wang Laoer.

Later, Wang Laoer confessed his love to Liu Tianxian and sang love poems.

There is a technique of expression here. When Wang Laoer was singing, Liu Tianxian got wet, and the technique of expression was that a column of rain formed on her head.

This rain column didn't wet anyone else but Liu Tianxian.

Afterwards, Liu Tianxian seemed to realize something, and the two of them reconciled and got together. It was very abstract.

Fang Hong didn't understand why Wang Laoer behaved like that. He could only sigh that the singer's realm was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

I heard that this is the soulmate effect, just like when Wang Lao Er and Li Yun Di looked at each other with affection.
Eh, it’s so cold!

Thinking of this, Fang Hong couldn't help but shudder!
In the shooting area, Wang Laoer was singing on the stage, Liu Tianxian was standing in the audience, and there were people behind her.

When the song started, it started raining on Liu Tianxian's head.
"Crack!"

Fang Hong suddenly shouted.

His shout startled the on-site staff and extras. Why did he stop the performance when it just started?
Fang Hong walked straight up to Liu Tianxian and looked at her.

Liu Tianxian was confused by the stare and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Fang Hong didn't say anything, but put his hand on his chin, rubbing it around Liu Tianxian, as if he was thinking.

At this time, Wang Lao Er came over and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Director, I always feel like something is missing?" Fang Hong said.

"What?" Wang Laoer was confused.

Fang Hong lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Oh, right, there is a lack of the soulmate effect. What is a soulmate? According to my understanding, it is someone who has common interests and appreciates each other, such as a close male friend."

Hearing him say this, Wang Laoer looked thoughtful, and his mind thought of his soulmate, the man who understood him.

As for Liu Tianxian, she was completely confused. She knew nothing about being a soulmate and could only play cotton.

At this moment, she was wiping her wet hair with a towel.

However, Zeng Yike, who was listening nearby, took it all in. She looked at Liu Tianxian's profile thoughtfully, with an indescribable light in her eyes, a light that seemed like the fermentation of a "soulmate".

If Fang Hong knew that he had fooled Wang Laoer, it would have planted a seed in Zeng Yike's heart. I wonder how he would feel.

Seeing that Wang Lao Er had taken it to heart, Fang Hong said, "I think the rain should be blue, to symbolize a close friend."

Wang Laowang thought about it, then clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that makes sense."

My close friend, I totally agree!
I didn't expect that an intern I randomly hired could understand his heart so well. He is like a close friend!
"Art team, I'll give you half an hour. The rain should appear blue, and it should be beautiful, with an ambiguous visual effect." Fang Hong made a request to the art team.

"It's a bit difficult with such a short time." The art director was not very happy and spoke with a crooked accent.

All the staff members in the art team were also very unhappy with this "fake" director, who took nothing as an order and increased their workload with just one word.

"Time is limited, please hurry up."

After Wang Laoer spoke, the people in the art group stopped talking and immediately went to make arrangements, trying to add a light or something to the rain equipment to see if it would work.

"Your suggestion is very good. How did you come up with it?" Wang Laoer felt that this person's idea was very much to his liking. "Art, I think our film is art, and I think from an artistic perspective." Fang Hong said calmly.

"Yes, art, these two words are very well said." Wang Laoer praised.

This time Fang Hong remained silent, as he was afraid that he would not be able to continue.

After chatting for a while, Wang Laoer went to inspect the crew. This was his necessary daily job in order to maintain the authority of the director, or simply put, to show off.

After he left, Liu Tianxian looked at Fang Hong and said teasingly, "You are quite knowledgeable."

"I understand a little, a little!" Fang Hong said modestly.

Liu Tianxian tilted her head and whispered, "Hey, have you told Wang Laoer whether we are still going to shoot the kissing scene?"

"This matter is a bit difficult. Wang Laoer is not easy to talk to, but I am still in the process of communicating with him. Don't worry." Fang Hong said calmly.

"The filming of this play is almost finished. If you don't communicate well, it will be a wrap." Liu Tianxian said.

The filming of this drama is coming to an end. We have to shoot it even if we don’t have to. How can we not be anxious?

"Isn't it just right that we've wrapped up? You don't have to shoot anymore." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian rolled her eyes at the man. If he didn't want to help, he shouldn't have brought it up that day. He had brought it up and given her hope, but now he seemed to be so uninterested.

Did you borrow too little money?
She said, "Tell me the truth, can you do it?"

"What are you talking about? Of course I can do it. I just need to communicate."

Fang Hong's words made Liu Tianxian walk away speechless. She didn't want to talk to this man anymore.

Asking him is always communicating.

Fang Hong didn't care. He picked up a pen and paper and started drawing a table to make the movie budget. The filming of "Those Years" was a low-budget film, but no matter how low the cost was, it was still several million.

A movie is divided into three stages: pre-production, mid-production, and post-production, and these three stages are then divided into several subcategories.

From equipment rental, to props and costumes, to staff salaries, every detail must be taken care of.

There is no way to not take care of every detail, and Fang Hong does not have any professional talent around him now.

Chen Zhixi is not too familiar with it, after all, she has just started working as a producer.

"Hey, Xiao Fang."

Fang Hong looked up and saw that it was Wang Laoer who came back and sat next to him.

Wang Lao Er looked around and asked, "Have you told Liu Tianxian? What did she say?"

"Oh, I talked to her about it, and she said she didn't accept it from an artistic point of view, but she accepted it from a film point of view."

As Fang Hong was talking, Wang Lao Er interrupted, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know what she means. She speaks in a mysterious way and I can't understand her." Fang Hong said.

Wang Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "Did she say that my movie is not artistic enough?"

He has a strong ability to comprehend.

"possible."

Fang Hong nodded and said, "But don't worry about her. It's no big deal to kiss her. You'll just get scolded by the audience. I support you, brother. Kiss her!"

"You also think my movie is not artistic enough?" Wang Laoer said.

"I don't think so."

Fang Hong first put himself aside and analyzed from his perspective:

"But having said that, this kiss scene is indeed superfluous and affects the overall artistic style of the film. As soulmates, confidants, we should just keep the best distance and leave it to the audience's imagination. What do you think?"
