Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 489 Needs Further Progress

Time flies, and Liu Tianxian's "The Four 3" is about to be released, and she needs to follow the main creators to promote it.

Some media meetings, interviews and so on.

Since Liu Tianxian and Fang Hong's relationship has been very hotly discussed, it is inevitable to encounter questions about the two of them during the interview.

In an interview with Zhu Dan, she asked: "What kind of movies do you like to watch in your life?"

"I really like watching "Black Swan." Liu Tianxian crossed her legs, wearing casual clothes, with her hair parted on the side and a braid at the back, looking very pure.

"That's a very depressing art film. Will the principal watch it with you?" Zhu Dan asked.

"Yes, he will watch it with me. He also likes watching movies. We both like watching movies and sometimes we discuss movies." Liu Tianxian answered frankly.

"Do you watch horror movies? The scary ones?" Zhu Dan was curious.

"Yes, he likes to scare me when I watch horror movies. He always scares me with his jumpy movements." Liu Tianxian said it quite funny.

"Then you guys are quite loving. You don't feel scared at all." Zhu Dan asked.

"I don't know if he would be scared or not, I've never asked, but I wouldn't be scared the second time I watched a horror movie," said Liu Tianxian.

"Then you are quite powerful. I still hope you don't act in such horror movies."

"No, no, I really want to act in a classic like "The Ring". I think I should be able to crawl pretty well." Liu Tianxian said this with a grin and felt that she didn't look like a girl.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Dan covered his mouth and laughed.

This girl is so interesting. She is different from other girls. Other girls avoid such movies.

I would be very scared and timid, but she is different, she is very brave.

The interview was still going on. Liu Tianxian was always very casual in such interviews and spoke freely, but as she spoke she became more and more excited and didn't stop.

He talks about everything, including his thoughts on roles, acting, and life.

Zhu Dan sat opposite and listened. She was a little confused and had no idea what Liu Tianxian was talking about.

It's normal, the realm is different.

“For a while, I was obsessed with a novel, and then I wrote a diary every day and searched the Internet for photos of the streets and alleys of that era, what men and women wore, and imagined what your opponent wore and what kind of person he should be.

Gradually, I felt that I became more and more clear-headed, as if I had become a different person. The same is true for drama. If you can understand this role, you can also understand that role."

"What role were you playing at that time?" Zhu Dan interrupted.

"That's a book, so let's not talk about it." Liu Tianxian waved her hand, remembering that Fang Hong didn't allow her to say the title of the book in public.

"Then will you have a spiritual understanding with the principal?" Zhu Dan asked something else.

If I let her continue talking, I wouldn't know what she would say.

"Tacit understanding will also occur."

Liu Tianxian was getting excited and continued, "You know, you may not find the principal interesting at first, but after getting to know him for a long time, you will find many shining points in him and think, hey, this person is quite interesting."

"."

The movie "The Four 3" will premiere on August 8st. Fang Hong will also be there. Liu Tianxian asked him to go.

It’s the last movie, go watch it.

Fang Hong no longer cares about the box office performance of "Knife of the Assassin". Whether it is a lot or a little, it will not affect his development or Jade Rabbit.

What he cares about is further layout and layout of theaters.

Everything he did was to be unrestrained by others. If anything affected his strategy, he would handle it himself.

Only by doing it yourself can you stay calm and have confidence!
As for those who target you, as long as you have the strength, you will have the confidence to solve them and fight back.

If you have money but no strength, everything is just empty talk.

Cinemas are capital-intensive assets, and capital-intensive assets require money, a lot of money. Without money, this cannot be done.

Therefore, Yutu needs further development to maintain the operation of the theater chain. If you can afford to buy it but cannot afford to maintain it, that would not be fun.

It's just like when you buy a luxury car like a Mercedes-Benz. You buy it, but the maintenance, fuel, insurance, and repairs are a huge expense every year.

Cinema acquisitions can be tightly or loosely integrated and can cross provinces, but cinemas cannot be merged as a whole based on administrative regions.

It’s just that one place cannot be occupied entirely by your cinemas. This is the rule to prevent monopoly.

This is just Fang Hong's idea now, and there is no time to implement it. It still needs to be reported to the radio and television for approval.

The approval process was relatively easy. Yutu was specifically designed to do this and doesn’t do anything else, and its shares are not held by foreign capital.

During this period, "The Purge 4" was released as early as July and was shown in 2350 theaters in North America, following "Get Out".

Of course, "The Purge 4" is just like its predecessor, with poor reputation and ratings, not even 6 points. It is undoubtedly a bad movie, but the box office is still good.

As of late August, "The Purge 8" has been released for almost a month.

The total box office in North America reached 6908 million US dollars, overseas 6650 million US dollars, and the global total was 1.35 million US dollars.

The cost is around $1300 million.

That is to say, the flower growers get $3375 million, but after deducting costs, the profit is about $ million.

But the costs had already been spent, and more than 30 million yuan was recovered.

The $4 million for "The Purge 3375" plus the $6375 million for "Get Out" equals a total of $9750 million.

That means we only need $250 million to reach $ million.

Copyrights and other things don’t count. After all, we have to invest in producing other movies and share the profits with Yu Xian.

This year, we have shared at least tens of millions of dollars in profits. After all, copyright is very expensive.

Yu Xian bought such a big villa, so he definitely needs money to maintain it. Now his income can cover his expenses.

He is also investing in other horror movies, such as "Annabelle 2", "The Conjuring 2", "Halloween", etc., which are all being planned for filming.

Nowadays, Yu Xian rarely makes horror movies like this. He always plays the role of producer, that is, Fang Hong’s agent.

He usually asks other directors to make horror movies like this, and there are a lot of frustrated directors in Hollywood.

Fang Hong has not yet used the 9750 million dollars to build a film and television base for Yutu. "The Nun" will be released on September 9, so there will be more money later.

Liu Tianxian's birthday is approaching, so he has to deal with her problem first and give her a surprise. He can't let Liu Tianxian wear the pull ring all the time, that would be too embarrassing and it would also lose face for him as the principal.

Not to mention that his principal didn't even give her a ring, he is so stingy.

Fang Hong called the financial officer Meng Jun and told him two things. The first thing was to go to Hong Kong to buy a ring. He had his eyes on two rings, one called the Pink Star and the other called the Blue Moon of Josephine.

The former Pink Star is owned by De Beers, a South African diamond mining company that has a sales network in Hong Kong.

This pink star was later bought by Chow Tai Fook for more than 70 million yuan, in kilograms.

The latter, Josephine's Blue Moon, was consigned to auction by the Hong Kong Auction House and will be sold to Liu Luanxiong for 4840 million next year, still in dollars.

Those people in Hong Kong are really rich!
Fang Hong prefers the former Pink Star because it is expensive. He cannot tell whether a diamond is good or not, but expensive is definitely good.

Everyone has their own opinion on whether something is good or not, but as long as it is expensive, its value is there and cannot be changed.

The latter is cheaper. If the former is not available, you can only buy the latter as a precaution.

Of course, this money cannot be spent all, so if there is any extra money, I will put it back into my plans.

The second reason for sending Meng Jun to Hong Kong was to sell Tesla stocks.

Tesla's total market value has now risen to US$316 billion, which is a good time to sell. It will rise to around US$330 billion this year.

But it is certainly impossible to sell off as accurately as $330 billion, and it cannot be sold off all at once, so as long as the market value is over $ billion, it can be sold.

Hong Kong is an international market and we can operate there.

After these two things were arranged, Chen Zhixi and Meng Jun passed each other at the office door and nodded to each other.

As soon as Chen Zhixi entered the room, he said to Fang Hong: "Guangtou Xu wants to film "Lost in Hong Kong", he wants half of the share, and he also wants to take a share personally."

"Then don't shoot." Fang Hong said directly.

It’s fine if you want half the share, but you also want a share for yourself. What a joke.

Anyway, this is Guangtou Xu's last film. I don't know if he can make good films in the future. Anyway, in Fang Hong's eyes, this person is no longer of any use.

"It's not a good idea to not take pictures now that the traffic is blocked." Chen Zhixi said.

If this is the case, people may change their names and look for other companies to cooperate with them, which may not be good in the end, and it is not worth it.

"The Jade Rabbit accounts for 60%, and the rest is up to you."

Fang Hong drew a line and said, "If it's lower than this share, don't shoot it."

"That's fine." Chen Zhixi felt that there was room for discussion.

In fact, Guangtou Xu is also greedy. He wants more shares even though he knows he can make money. Of course, Yutu is also greedy. He also knows that this series needs to make money, so he doesn't want to give it up.

But the copyright is shared by both parties, and this series cannot be filmed without Yutu’s cooperation.

Yutu is not the same company that they used to shoot "Lost on Journey". Guangtou Xu is afraid of offending Yutu, which would make things difficult for him.

Moreover, copyright is very strict now, it is no longer the same as before.

Fang Hong didn't care about this. He asked, "What are the film projects that will be shot in the next six months?"

"I was just about to tell you this, take a look for yourself!" Chen Zhixi handed him a document.

Fang Hong basically pays attention to these things every six months, and now that he wants to acquire the cinema, he must focus on the development of Yutu, which needs to be taken to a higher level.

Movies that have not been released or filmed include "Charlotte's Troubles", "Mojin: The Last Dragon", "The Pancake Man", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Nine-story Demon Tower", etc.

Among them, "Nine-story Demon Tower" was not given to director Lu Chuan, but to Lu Yang, and Yutu filmed it by itself. It was originally an adaptation of the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light", and the copyright belongs to Yutu.

Of course, the actors will no longer be Yao Dazui and Zhao Youting. They will be chosen from the actors in Yutu. If they can’t find any, they will look for actors from outside.

"The Mojin: The Lost Tomb" was given to Guo Fan to shoot.

The two are currently in Hollywood investigating the film industry. It will only be about a month and they will be back soon.

The purpose of making special effects movies like this is to practice.

You should always bring back something from your investigation. Otherwise, it would be a shame if you didn't learn anything.

There is also another movie called "Lucy 2". It depends on whether Tsui Hark will shoot it or not. If not, Fang Hong can find someone else to shoot it, or shoot it himself.

Fang Hong took a look, put down the document and asked, "Where's the variety show?"

"The second season of 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' is still being aired. It has now reached the ninth episode and is expected to be completed in October," said Chen Zhixi.

This variety show has sixteen episodes in the second season, and it will be very profitable. Such a high number of episodes will inevitably bring high returns.

After all, this variety show has explosive traffic at this time.

The naming rights for the second season of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" were won by Yili for 3.1 million yuan, and the special broadcast advertising fees also reached 1.7 million yuan, creating the first place in TV programs.

The current variety show sponsorship fees are already sky-high. The Voice of China received 2.5 million yuan, but The Voice of China is not as popular as Where Are We Going, Dad?

Of course, it will get higher and higher in the future, but it is only limited to popular variety shows.

In addition, "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has copyrights, but the copyright belongs to Yutu, and the online broadcast is given to Chang'e Video.

Chang'e Video is free to broadcast, and adds interactive advertisements. One interactive advertisement costs 3800 million yuan, and the lowest is 2399 million yuan.

It can be said that this variety show has brought very considerable income to Chang'e Video and also brought very high traffic.

TV series have never been interrupted. The one currently broadcasted on Chang'e Video is "Come, My Mr. Love", which is a joint broadcast with Jiangsu Satellite TV.

With this TV series, Zhao Xiaodao showed her naive acting skills. Of course, compared with her opponents of the same level, she definitely has acting skills.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to perform well in such a low-budget idol drama.

Zhao Xiaodao is very popular this year, with one movie after another. However, she has also been bullied a lot, and the 85 flowers are basically isolating her.

It seems like she doesn't belong to the category of 85 flowers.

It's a very normal phenomenon. There is no star who is not criticized. The more famous they are, the more criticism they receive. Some things you have to endure on your own.

But Yutu will not cut off her resources as long as she stays in Yutu.

"In addition, 'Running Man' will also be launched in October and is currently being filmed," said Chen Zhixi.

Variety shows can be edited while being broadcast, after all, they are only broadcast once a week.

"Who will be the female lead of this variety show?" Fang Hong was curious.

"The female lead has been confirmed to be Nazha. I watched the variety shows she has appeared in and I think she has a talent for variety shows. Even though she is not good at acting, she is good at variety shows." Chen Zhixi said.

Fang Hong didn't say anything and had no objection to this.
