Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 431 The surname Liu

The villa was as warm as spring. Liu Tianxian was wearing casual clothes, sitting cross-legged, holding a little black cat in her arms, stroking the cat's back gently, while listening to Fang Hong's conversation.

They also knew that it was about stealing box office revenue, and they probably knew who had stolen their box office revenue.

However, this kind of thing is very common, and people usually don’t make a special phone call to notify you. Calling to notify you definitely means that they take it very seriously.

"You should collect evidence first, and expose whoever stole our box office revenue. Which cinema, where and what its name is, reveal every detail so that everyone knows. By the way, send a lawyer's letter to the other party. If they don't restrain themselves, sue them directly. The means must be severe." Fang Hong said in a firm tone.

"Is this too much?" Chen Zhixi was surprised.

Directly exposing the name and location of the other cinema to the public is equivalent to directly telling the higher-ups that this cinema is stealing box office revenue and must be dealt with.

If they sue directly, it would be equivalent to beating the other party to death. The theater simply cannot bear it. Apart from the big brand, the theater itself does not have much assets.

And no one has ever handled it this way. It is better to have less trouble than more, because the benefits are not proportional. You will waste time and energy if you fight a lawsuit for several months.

If I put someone out of business, I won’t have the money to compensate you!

"If we don't stop them, they will all come to steal my box office revenue. Will all our previous efforts be in vain?"

Fang Hong asked back, his tone becoming stern: "I can tolerate them stealing their own box office, but I cannot tolerate them stealing box office for my competitors. If their theater steals their own box office, it's like my principal treating them to a meal, but if they steal box office for my competitors, that's intolerable."

"I understand." Chen Zhixi understood his thoughts.

They are in competition to begin with. It's fine if these cinemas steal on their own, as everyone knows about it and no one cares if it's a tacit agreement. But they cannot aid the enemy.

It is equivalent to that all the work and efforts they have done before have been discounted.

It means that the other party’s value has not been hit, the other party cannot feel pain, and their strategic goal this time has not been achieved.

So we must curb it and put a stop to it!

"Don't be afraid of trouble. We will expose as many theaters as we can. But one thing is, we will only expose those theaters that steal box office for our competitors. We don't need to worry about if the theaters steal box office themselves. We just need to let those people understand what we mean." Fang Hong said.

Those cinemas can't do anything about it themselves, and even if they find out, they can only notify law enforcement officers to enforce the law. They have to spend a lot of money to sue and report hundreds of cinemas.

Not only will this cause public outrage, but you may not be able to control it either, so it has to be managed by the higher-ups. How can they control who steals the box office and who doesn't across the country?

Just don't go overboard and don't be too blatant.

Therefore, Fang Hong only targeted those typical cases, those cinemas that stole box office revenue for their competitors, and ignored the others!

"Okay, I understand what you mean. Do you want to report it to the higher authorities?" Chen Zhixi said.

"Let me tell you about this. The people above are on holiday now. They can't handle it even if we tell them. We have to handle it ourselves." Fang Hong said.

It is the Spring Festival now and most government agencies are on holiday. Even if there are people on duty, they will just be informed and will have to wait until after 15th to deal with it.

No matter how big the matter is, you have to wait.

So this is the reason why Fang Hong directly exposed and sued, and it must be stopped.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Zhixi understood Fang Hong's purpose. He was determined to suppress his competitors, including those who funded the enemy.

I don’t care about anything else. You can steal the box office, but you can’t let others steal it. This is the bottom line.

Anyway, Fang Hong always knows who his opponent is!
"Is someone stealing our box office revenue?" Liu Tianxian watched him finish the call.

"Yes, damn, next door, not only does he steal by himself, he also helps others steal. Fuck him." Fang Hong spoke fluently.

Liu Tianxian kicked him and said, "Can you be more civilized? You have such a bad temper."

"I'm not talking about you. You should know how much money and resources I spent to suppress those Hong Kong guys. I also completely exposed my strength. No one will play with me in the future." Fang Hong felt quite lonely.

I guess Huayi and Bona will have to stay away from the principal when they see him in the future because they can’t afford to fight him.

It is indeed true. The big and small Wangs of Huayi are scared when they see the principal. They have been fooled several times. The stock price has fallen from the peak of over 40 billion to over 20 billion now, more than half of which has evaporated.

There is no way. Huayi’s core director Feng Kuzi has been labeled as a “money-making guy” and his value has seriously declined.

Even if "Personal Tailor" is a pure profit, the box office is not impressive. The company has started to play with real estate and games, and has reduced its film business. The principal can just enjoy himself.

This time, he made two movies in Hong Kong in a row, and also brought in Bona, China Film and Hong Kong Capital, which really made them see the principal's strength.

China Film Group is the investor of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2".

However, China Film is a state-owned enterprise after all, and Zuoshandiao will retire in a month, so he is no longer concerned with these matters.

There's nothing we can do about it. Her daughter is the producer of "A Bouquet of Love" and also has a share in it. It feels like the principal did it on purpose.

Xu Liyun also noticed the movement here and thought something had happened: "Xiao Hong, please give in to Xixi and stop arguing."

"We didn't quarrel, Auntie, it was about something else." Liu Tianxian responded.

"Oh!" Xu Liyun knew that she had wronged her son, so she shut up.

Continue watching her idol dramas.

"Are you being Versailles? No one wants to play with you anymore. You must be lonely, right?" Liu Tianxian was speechless. No one wanted to play with him anymore.

"No no."

Fang Hong smiled, touched her pretty face, then stood up and said, "I'm going to make a phone call."

Walk into the glass house, where you can see the snow and the silver-covered scenery outside.

Liu Tianxian also followed, holding a kitten in her arms. She rubbed her face against Fang Hong's head, and then put it on his head. The cat huddled up together, as if afraid of falling off. The cat huddled up together, which was quite cute and naive, and it was fun.

"Don't shit or pee on my head." Fang Hong found a stool to sit on, found a phone number and dialed it.

"No, I just pulled it over." Liu Tianxian said.

Fang Hong answered the phone quickly, and he said in a serious tone, "Director Zhang, do you care about the theft of the box office?"

Now Zhang Hongsen is no longer the deputy director, he has been promoted!

"Of course I will." Zhang Hongsen blurted out.

This is his responsibility. He will definitely take care of it since the report has been brought to him. However, he is very curious as to why the principal was so aggressive. This is not a big deal. Everyone knows about the box office theft. Is there any need to question him during the New Year's Day?

Zhang Hongsen said unhappily, "You're here for this during the Chinese New Year? I thought you were here to wish me a happy new year."

"Oh, you don't know how sad I am."

Fang Hong pretended to sigh, then put the phone next to Liu Tianxian's ear: "Come, wish Director Zhang a happy new year. Our Director Zhang has been promoted."

Zhang Hongsen seemed fine at first, but at the end, there was a tone of ridicule. Damn, he was getting more and more arrogant.

Of course, their strength is getting stronger and stronger. This time, the e-commerce plus Internet model has attracted many new people to the movie industry.

The single-day box office exceeded 2 million for two consecutive days, which is an unprecedented prosperity.

It has made an indelible contribution to the film market and has strong export capabilities, with both movies and television being exported.

"Legend of Lu Zhen", "Let's Get Married", "Lucy 1", "Now You See Me" and other films have been exported, and even the copyright of "Bouquet" has been approached by a Japanese film producer.

We came here to buy the copyright, but now the relationship between the two countries is not very good, so we can only sell it to the other party for remake.

"Director Zhang, Happy New Year!" Liu Tianxian was still very polite, completely different from Fang Hong.

"Happy New Year, angel."

Zhang Hongsen responded, and then said, "You should control your family member. He has such a bad temper."

"You can't blame him. He was just angry. If others hadn't broken the rules, this wouldn't have happened." Liu Tianxian still stood on her man's side.

One plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy.

"It's just stealing box office revenue. It's not like we won't deal with it." Zhang Hongsen said.

"That's not the case. The cinema moved our movie tickets to other movies." Liu Tianxian said.

"You mean that other movies are stealing your box office revenue and putting the blame on you." Zhang Hongsen understood something.

"That's not the case. Actually, stealing doesn't matter. We also know that this kind of thing is very common. It's just that they don't take us seriously. They exchanged the movie tickets right under our noses. Do you think Fang Hong would not be angry?" Liu Tianxian is also good at making up stories and speaks gently, so people can't doubt her.

In fact, they also knew about this matter through a third party, it was not under their noses at all.

"I'll talk to Xiao Fang." After hearing what Liu Tianxian said, Zhang Hongsen's unhappiness subsided a little.

Moving the box office right under someone else's nose, not only would the principal be embarrassed, he would be ashamed too if he saw it.

Of course, he would not ask whether it is true or not. Since they are fighting so fiercely, this must be true. If someone finds the evidence, the other party should be criticized.

"Don't be angry, we just feel unbalanced." Liu Tianxian said and gestured.

Fang Hong took the phone and put it to his ear.

"I have a rough understanding of the situation, but I still need to verify the specific details. I will deal with it when I get to work." Zhang Hongsen said.

"You don't need to verify. If any company steals the box office, the media will report it. Just read the news. We will also submit evidence and report it. I hope you can give us justice." Fang Hong's attitude was still tough.

This time he must get to the bottom of it.

"Don't be so impulsive. We will give you an explanation." Zhang Hongsen was afraid that he would cause trouble again.

"I know, I try to control myself."

Why didn't Zhang Hongsen believe what Fang Hong said?

But he didn't say anything. They had to crack down on box office theft, which affected the industry and tax revenue, and was in the national interest.

It’s just that Fang Hong is not that noble, and he doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it. He is only targeting his competitors.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Hong leaned over and kissed Liu Tianxian on the mouth, praising her: "Wife, you are really great."

She found a way out for him. In the past, if he wanted to do something big, he would either have to bow his head and lick Zhang Hongsen, or confront him head-on. With Liu Tianxian as a buffer in the middle, things were much better.

He had had several conflicts with Zhang Hongsen in the past, but later he restrained himself a bit.

"I'm just telling the truth. We are right. What are we afraid of?" Liu Tianxian looked very righteous. He even put the cat on his head to tease him, as if it was very fun.

"It makes sense. We are right. We are not afraid." Fang Hong strengthened his confidence.

Just as he was thinking about something, he suddenly felt a warm current on his head, and then he saw water flowing down.

"Fuck! The guy with the surname Liu." Fang Hong jumped up in anger.
