Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 480 No Need to Read Facial Expressions
At this time, Liu Tianxian and Xu Liyun were in the yard of the villa, where there were turned over plots of land.

These are all for farming.

Liu Tianxian felt somewhat embarrassed when she heard what Xu Liyun said, and her face turned red with bashfulness.

It's not that she didn't scream, it's just that she couldn't seem to scream.

"You and Xiaohong have obtained the marriage certificate and are about to have your wedding. It's time to change your mind," said Xu Liyun.

Liu Tianxian thought for a moment and overcame her psychological barriers: "Mom!"

"Hey!" Xu Liyun responded with a big smile on her face. She loved to hear that sound.

Liu Tianxian also seemed to be relieved. After shouting out, she felt like nothing was a big deal. She just felt closer to this home.

Xu Liyun grabbed Liu Tianxian's hand and smiled gently, "From now on, you should keep Xiaohong under control and prevent him from messing around outside. Make sure he listens to you."

"Okay." Liu Tianxian nodded.

She is the best at this. If she doesn't obey, she will beat her. It's quite interesting to think about it.

"You don't have to work too hard outside, just let Xiaohong do it. He is a man and it's his duty." Xu Liyun believes in the old tradition that a man should support a family.

"But I also have to work and can't give up my job." Liu Tianxian said.

"Don't work too much. Spend some time with me when you're free." Xu Liyun patted his hands.

"Yes, I will." Liu Tianxian thought that her mother-in-law would oppose her becoming a star and showing up in public.

It turns out that he just wanted her to spend more time with him, maybe he was lonely too.

Next, Liu Tianxian accompanied Xu Liyun to plant vegetables, such as cabbage, cucumbers, and peppers, all of which were small seeds.

And Heizi was standing by, wagging his tail, sticking out his tongue, looking very excited.

Liu Tianxian took a sprinkler to help water the plants and asked, "Mom, do you need to use pesticides when growing these vegetables?"

"No, I saw someone say on the Internet that the pesticides nowadays are poisonous and not good for you if you eat them." Xu Liyun said hurriedly.

When she has nothing to do, she would go online and read some articles, which said this and that should not be eaten.

"Will there be bugs?" Liu Tianxian didn't understand either. She just ate whatever was served to her and had no idea how vegetables were produced.

But even if I don’t understand, I’ve heard of some of it.

"Yes, so you have to take good care of it on a daily basis." Xu Liyun said.

"That must be quite hard." Liu Tianxian said.

"It's not hard. This is much better than before. We used to work in the fields under the scorching sun. That was really hard. I just kill time here. When you have children, I will take care of them for you." Xu Liyun said with a smile.

"Hehehe!" Liu Tianxian laughed sweetly.

The two of them were busy in the fields and chatting at the same time, and time passed quickly.

Fang Hong came back in the afternoon. When he came back, Xu Liyun was cooking in the kitchen, while Liu Tianxian was leaning on the sofa reading a script.

He suddenly came close to Liu Tianxian with a smiling face and teased, "Who is this? Whose girl is so pretty?"

"Your little baby." Liu Tianxian laughed, put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

The two of them bit each other's lips and used their lips and tongues to cling to each other for a long time before they separated.

"Well! What are you reading?" Fang Hong sat next to her, took the notebook from her hand, looked at the cover, and saw the words "Lucy 2".

"This was shown to me by Jiao Huajing and the others. They said it would probably be performed for me." Liu Tianxian rested her chin on his shoulder and put one hand around his shoulder.

"This is the second part. It was originally intended for you to play the role, but the director for this drama has not been found yet." Fang Hong placed the script on the coffee table.

This drama is a pure and refreshing one, and it would be best to find a director with a strong style to shoot it.

It's full of tension and it's really enjoyable.

"Looking for a director? Aren't you going to shoot?" Liu Tianxian looked at him.

"I was originally the one shooting this first film, so why should I shoot it again? For a film like this, I need to find a director with a strong style who can capture the energy in you," Fang Hong said.

The plot of this film is actually not outstanding. It is just a super novel concept and a wild imagination, so it needs a strong color style to support it.

"Then who do you want to take the photo?" Liu Tianxian asked.

"The candidate in my mind is Xu Ke, he is good at taking pictures of women, and he can also make this kind of exciting and passionate film." Fang Hong said.

Hearing what he said, Liu Tianxian looked surprised.

"But he's busy with his 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy', so he probably doesn't have time. Besides, there's a holiday coming up, so it's not easy to invite him. You know, these big directors like to change the script and the setting." Fang Hong said again.

"No, I was quite surprised that you asked him to direct the movie." Liu Tianxian said.

In the past, this man never worked with those big directors and was basically isolated from them.

It's quite unexpected that we suddenly have to invite a great director.

"Why is it unexpected?" Fang Hong asked.

"As far as I can remember, you haven't worked with these great directors of the older generation. Why are you going to work with them again?" Liu Tianxian said.

"Is it strange?" Fang Hong asked back.

"Strange." Liu Tianxian nodded.

"It's not that I didn't want to hire big directors before, I just felt it was unnecessary and I didn't need to ask these big directors to please my boss. Now that I've reached this level, I don't need to ask them to please my boss." Fang Hong said.

In the past, I didn’t make big movies. It was a lot of money and time to hire a big director, and you had to keep him because these people had a lot of rules and requirements, so it was difficult to get him to change the script according to your ideas.

Fang Hong is now at a level where he can handle the situation, so it is still okay to invite these great directors.

Being a great director is inherently advantageous.

"That is to say, you have no problem with those big directors, but you just don't want to flatter them." Liu Tianxian probably understood.

"You can understand it that way." Fang Hong said.

"Oh, I thought you had some problems with the director." Liu Tianxian was relieved.

He always felt that this man had some problems with those big directors, so he refused to work with them.

"What's my opinion? I have no grudge against them. Even if we compete at the box office, it won't affect our private relationship. Who doesn't have competition in this industry?"

Fang Hong said again: "In fact, those big directors themselves have their own things and abilities. If you want to go to the next level, you must cooperate with big directors. Look at the actresses chosen by Zhang Yimou, many of them are amateurs, and they all became famous overnight.

The amateur actresses chosen by Stephen Chow all became famous overnight. This is the invisible value brought by a great director. He will raise your value infinitely."

Who knew who Ni Ni was before she starred in The Flowers of War? Who knew who Zhou Dongyu was before she starred in Under the Hawthorn Tree?

This also includes Liu Haocun. Although this girl is very abstract, she is popular.

Before Cecilia Cheung starred in "The King of Comedy"; before Huang Shengyi starred in "Kung Fu"; before Zhang Yuqi starred in "CJ7".

Before these people starred in big director's movies, they were basically amateurs and no one knew who they were.

But after they starred in a big director's movie, their value was infinitely increased and they reaped the benefits for a lifetime. This is value.

This is also the reason why actors are flocking to star in big directors' movies.

So it is beneficial to act in a movie directed by a big director, as it can add something to an actor's resume.

Of course, Fang Hong doesn’t think he is a great director. He doesn’t have many personal characteristics. He just writes the script step by step and has an excellent team to shoot what he has in mind. And most of the time, the assistant director is the director.

"Oh, so that's it." Liu Tianxian finally understood.

It is true that now that she has won the award, she also needs to work with big directors, those big directors with strong personal styles, to further raise her value.

I feel like this man is very thoughtful and nice.

"Honghong, Xixi, it's time to eat." Xu Liyun shouted from the kitchen.

"Let's go eat."

Liu Tianxian grabbed Fang Hong's arm, and the two of them went to the kitchen and living room, where they saw a table full of home-cooked dishes.

Liu Tianxian took a deep breath: "Wow, it smells so good."

"If it smells good, eat more and see if it tastes good." Xu Liyun set the table and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

"Okay, Mom." Liu Tianxian took the chopsticks, picked up a dish and chewed it: "Hmm, it's delicious."

After she finished speaking, she picked up another shrimp and fed it to Fang Hong, saying, "Try it too."

Fang Hong took a bite and found the meat thick and mellow in flavor with a great taste.

"Mom, please sit down and eat." After Liu Tianxian said this, she pulled Fang Hong and motioned for him to sit down as well.

"That's quite smooth. I've never heard you call me hubby so smoothly." Fang Hong said with a smile.

Liu Tianxian hit him and threw a dish into his bowl: "Eat yours quickly, stop talking too much."

After calling it many times, it becomes easy to say.

"See You Tomorrow" was released on July 7th. On the first day, the film ranked second on the single-day box office list with a box office of 4 million.

The first place is still "Transformers 4", with a box office of about million. This movie is still very powerful. It has only been released for seven or eight days, and it still has so much box office.

The plot of this movie is terrible and it is a pure popcorn movie. Audiences still like to watch this kind of movies.

However, compared with the previous life, the box office of this movie has dropped by several million. After all, the release of "See You Tomorrow" still has an impact.

The box office of "The Breakup Guru" has dropped to around 20 million, and other movies have basically been affected.

Seeing that the box office performance was not very good, Deng Chao felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.

He couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he just endured it silently.

The release of "See You Tomorrow" still brought a wave of negative reviews and complaints. Some said that the movie lacked story, while others said that it was not like a movie but more like a TV series and the plot had no tension at all.

Some even said: "Guo Jinming can rest assured."

What it means is that both of them are bad, equally bad.

The second day happened to be the weekend, and the box office of "See You Tomorrow" exceeded 8246 million. On the third day, it dropped to 7250 million, exceeding 2.2 million in three days.

There was an overwhelming amount of criticism online, with even a Tsinghua professor writing an article in the Youth Daily criticizing: "Han Han's film 'See You Tomorrow' is a bad movie!"

The article also expressed that his films had a confusing narrative structure and poor acting by the actors.

Some even said that Han Han's writing style was extremely poor and that he was "a false cultural idol created by the contemporary media and the literary world"!
Even the central bank had something to say, criticizing this movie. This is roughly what it said.

"Han Han seems to think that he can easily cross the dam of the objective laws of film art"

The general meaning is, if you want to write a novel, just write the novel well and don't try to make a movie. Movies are not your thing, nor are they something you can bypass.

It can be said that the mainstream has great malice towards this person, which was something that Fang Hong and Chen Zhixi had not expected. After all, Han Han has been silent for so many years.

It’s definitely his first movie, so there must be many shortcomings. Is there any need to criticize it so harshly?

At least it's better than "The Breakup Master", which hasn't even scored a 6 point rating so far.

That movie received all bad reviews and marketing. It's true that Guangguang's marketing was very powerful, and the box office has not collapsed yet.

But the mainstream opinion is not to criticize the movie, but to criticize Han Han.

This made Fang Hong think that Wang Changtian was doing something bad, so he called him immediately.

"Mr. Wang, is it necessary to do this? Even though we are competitors, there is no need for you to curse like that!" Fang Hong began to question.

"Principal, who did I scold?" Wang Changtian was also confused and felt very puzzled.

"Han Han from "See You Tomorrow." Fang Hong said.

"If I want to scold him, I will hire some internet trolls. But do I have the power to hire professors from the Central Academy of Sciences or Tsinghua University?" Wang Changtian was speechless.

He also followed the development of public opinion and knew what the situation was.

"You really didn't do anything?" Fang Hong asked again.

"I'm going to take action. Won't you take action against me? My movie has been released for so long, it's a foregone conclusion. Is it necessary?" Wang Changtian asked back.

This made Fang Hong very depressed. Han Han was so hateful!

"It's his own problem. He used to be very arrogant and cursed the entire literary world. It's normal for people to curse him now." Wang Changtian said again.

After hearing that it wasn't him, Fang Hong hung up the phone. He really couldn't help Han Han in any way with this matter. He could only bear it by himself. It was impossible for him to ruin the entire literary world!
That would really be like stirring up a hornet's nest!
Writers are also very powerful. They can strongly deny you as a "person", saying that your thoughts are bad and making you despised by the mainstream.

Han Han was accused of having bad ideas, being the biggest scandal in the literary world, being rebellious, and all kinds of bad things were blamed on him.

Anyway, it is a bad example for young people and for morals, which is a serious sin.

However, Fang Hong still wanted to call Han Han to comfort him and send him some warmth, and the call was quickly connected.

"Hello, Principal." Han Han's voice sounded very surprised that the principal actually called him at this time.

"This matter was not done by our rivals, so I can't help you." Fang Hong went straight to the point.

"I know, I can handle it." Han Han's words were concise.

He was very clear that this was the backlash from when he was young and hot-tempered and scolded many people and the entire literary world as "bullshit", and now the backlash has come.

Who made him jump out of the movie? It would be better if he disappeared without a trace.

"That's good. However, the movie box office is good. You don't need to care about the outside voices. They are just talking nonsense." Fang Hong said.

"Thank you, Principal." Han Han felt warm in his heart.

After all, the principal called personally to ask about the matter, which proves that he was concerned and that he had asked the other party.

But this matter has little to do with the entertainment industry, it is the literary world that wants to scold him.

After they hung up the phone, Han Han turned on his computer and looked through the negative reviews. They still had some impact on him, but they no longer affected him. After all, he had come through the criticism.

Moreover, this movie did not receive all negative reviews. Some viewers gave it positive reviews, saying that it was like an art film and that it had sentimental meaning.

The polarization of word of mouth is quite serious.

There is a huge uproar in public opinion online, mainly directed at Han Han. No one can do anything about it. It's his fault for being so arrogant when he was young.

Fang Hong is not as crazy as him, he only messes with people in his circle.

This is the case and it does not affect the box office. Those literary figures cannot have much influence on the box office trend.
