Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 490 Feast your eyes
In fact, Yutu is not very good at variety shows. This is determined by Yutu's genes. Her foundation is in film and television, so there are many film and television actors.

Variety shows usually invite external celebrities.

As for who to invite, Fang Hong generally doesn't care, but if some actors in Yutu want to develop in this area, he still has to support them.

It’s also good to give it to Nazha. This girl is easy to control and has no ambitions.

Like Zhao Xiaodao, everyone else is ambitious.

If Yutu can't keep things under control, someone will probably leave Yutu and start their own business.

Now that I’m famous, I want to go it alone.

"I'm planning to open a cinema. Yutu must move to the next level. You'll be under pressure." Fang Hong said to Chen Zhixi.

"What? Cinema!" Chen Zhixi was very surprised.

"Yes, we need to connect the entire process from production to distribution and then to screening." Fang Hong said seriously.

"This is a heavy asset and requires a lot of money," Chen Zhixi reminded.

A cinema needs to employ many people and requires long-term operation and maintenance. Repairing seats and screens or replacing them are all considerable expenses.

Don't look down on such small amounts of money. If you accumulate it and the number of cinemas increases, the small amount of money will become big money.

Moreover, cinemas do not make money all year round. There are many off-seasons. There are only a few periods and a few movies in a year that make money.

"I know, that's why Yutu needs to move to another level. Only by moving to another level can it have the capital to maintain the scale of its cinemas in the future." Fang Hong said.

"If the animation cannot be monetized and keeps being delayed, we won't be able to move up." Chen Zhixi stated directly.

No matter how much money is invested in animation, hundreds of millions are lost every year. This thing cannot be monetized, so there is no way to let go and run a cinema.

We have so many professionals and equipment, how can we make money if we keep dragging it on like this?

After hearing this, Fang Hong thought for a moment before saying, "Just proceed according to the plan. I'll take care of these things."

Seeing that Mr. Fang was determined to do so, Chen Zhixi could not dissuade him and could only follow his lead to meet development needs.

Anyway, Stone Spear promised him that the animation would definitely be released in October.

If he loses, he will cut the animation part.

If you can't make European and American animated films well, there is no point in making domestic animations. It won't make much money. Just invest in "Ne Zha" when the time comes. There is no need to participate in it.

There aren't many animated films that do really well at the box office.

Time flies. At 8 pm on August 21, "The Four 2" held its premiere press conference in Beijing.

Reporters on the scene had already set up their cameras, facing the stage in front. A promotional video for "The Four" was playing on the big screen on the stage.

The tone of the picture is very exciting and the lighting is bright.

The venue was already full of audiences and fans, as well as some artists who came to support the event, such as Bao Beier and Liu Yan.

Fang Hong came with Wang Changtian. The two were still chatting about something. When the two bosses arrived, the actors and stars all stood in salute.

One is the CEO of Guangguang Film Group, the other is the CEO of Yutu Film Group, and they both play an important role in the film industry.

However, those audience fans don’t know the two very well and don’t have a deep impression of them. At most, they have a deeper impression of Fang Hong.

After all, he has acted in movies before, and recently he and Liu Tianxian have often been on the hot search list, saying that the two are in love.

The two sat in the front row. The guardrail behind them was the press area, and behind that was the audience.

Besides Wang Changtian, there is also Chen Jiajia next to Fang Hong. Fang Hong used to complain that he was old and confused and couldn't even make a good movie.

"Director Chen, this is Mr. Fang, the principal. You should know him." Wang Changtian also made a special introduction.

"Yes, I do. I had the honor of meeting the principal twice a few years ago." Chen Jia's hair has turned a lot whiter, and he still has a mustache. His tone is full of emotion.

When this man came to visit Liu Tianxian on their crew, he was just an unknown small boss. But after a few years, he became a big boss.

At that time he could have ignored it because Fang Hong often sat in their crew for a long time.

"Oh, then you should be quite familiar with each other!" Wang Changtian said.

"Not very familiar." Fang Hong said.

This made Chen Jiajia feel a little embarrassed. Such an awesome person was in front of him, but he didn't seize the opportunity back then.

The "Four" series was so bad that few people in mainland China wanted him to make movies anymore.

It was indeed a terrible film. With such a good cast and such great lighting, the box office was only a few hundred million.

All together, their box office is not as high as Deng Chao's "Breakup Master". Who would ask them to make a movie? They have no box office and no reputation.

Just then, live music started and the lights on the stage became bright. The first person to appear was Chou Zhaolong, wearing sunglasses and a suit, looking cool.

There was constant applause and the atmosphere was quite good.

Then came the appearance of Deng Chao, Liu Tianxian, Jiang Yiyan and Liu Yan.

Deng Chao wore a tight suit; Liu Yan wore a V-neck red long skirt; Jiang Yiyan wore a plaid short skirt, revealing a pair of long white legs. When she saw the principal in the audience, her smiling face changed.

She felt a little unnatural, and she still remembered the slap Fang Hong gave her in the face.

However, Fang Hong had forgotten about it long ago and did not look at her. Instead, his gaze fell on Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian was wearing high heels, which made her look very tall. She was also wearing a silver strapless long dress, which made her look incredibly beautiful. She also had a big necklace around her neck, which looked like a steel ring.

She also saw Fang Hong and a smile appeared on her face.

Later, Chen Jia also came on stage, and the host handed him a dog, which was the dog of their crew.

That was basically all the main creators said. They introduced themselves and talked about some experiences and interesting things during the filming of the movie.

Zhou Zhaolong talked about his experience of filming on the stage.

Liu Tianxian sat next to Fang Hong, just temporarily as she would go on stage later.

Chen Jiajia then sat next to Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian turned around and looked at Fang Hong beside her, smiled, put her hand to her mouth and whispered, "We can leave in about an hour."

"Yeah!" Fang Hong nodded.

Liu Tianxian put her hand on his leg and then looked towards the stage.

"The scene where Wuqing was leaving reminded me of my two younger sisters, who both suffered from depression and committed suicide one after the other."

After hearing Zhou Zhaolong talk about his tragic family life, the originally good atmosphere at the scene faded and the audience fell silent.

Liu Tianxian, who was originally very happy, suddenly felt her mood drop to the bottom, as if tears were welling up in her eyes.

Fang Hong looked at Liu Tianxian and thought that she was fine just now, but now she is about to cry.

"In order not to affect everyone on the crew, I have never said anything. I am talking about this painful past today only because I can't let it go." Zhou Zhaolong choked up when he said the last three words.

Liu Tianxian was choked up and almost cried. This was too emotional.

Someone handed Liu Tianxian a microphone and she said, "I had no idea what was going on at the filming site."

At this point she couldn't help but stand up: "Actually, when I heard it, I was shocked. I've always wanted to talk to you about this. What I want to say is that although you lost two sisters, you gained another sister."

"Clap clap clap!"

There was applause at the scene. Zou Zhaolong was also very comforting, nodding his head several times to express his gratitude.

He knew that Liu Tianxian was genuinely kind-hearted; they had worked together before on "The Forbidden Kingdom", so he knew her well.

No one else said they wanted to be his brother or sister, but she did, so her heart must be good.

Liu Tianxian sat back in her seat, unable to hold back her tears. She raised her head and tried to hold back her tears, but the tears still flowed down.

"Here!" Fang Hong handed her a tissue and gently stroked her back.

Liu Tianxian took it and wiped her tears. She just couldn't bear to see the misery in the world. She felt uncomfortable when she saw it and wanted to comfort others.

After this story, the atmosphere was not very good, but when other people came on stage, such as Deng Chao, the atmosphere became livelier again.

After the talk, it was time for games.

Liu Tianxian was in a much better mood and also went on stage to play games with them.

"Mr. Wang, it's a bit abstract that you don't show movies but play games to attract attention!" Fang Hong said.

“Oh, it makes me cry just to talk about it. If the movie is good, would I not show it to the audience?” Wang Changtian was also helpless.

The first two films had terrible reputations, and this one is no different. How dare they release the movie first? They’ll just try to trick as many people into going to the theaters as possible.

Wang Changtian said again: "Those directors in Hong Kong are really not good enough."

Chen Jia said these words only because he is no longer here. If he were here, he would not say these words.

At this time, a game called "Musical Chairs" was being played on the stage. Whoever grabbed a chair and sat down would win.

The one who fails to grab the item will be punished.

I saw Liu Tianxian, Deng Chao, Jiang Yiyan and Liu Yan circling around three stools as the music played.

The host said, "Sit down!"

The four of them quickly grabbed chairs and sat down. Deng Chao and Liu Tianxian were fighting for one chair, but Deng Chao lost to Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian was having a lot of fun, laughing, and not at all as sad as she was just now.

"Did you try your best to snatch it? You couldn't even snatch it from a girl." The host asked Deng Chao.

"I'm scared!" Deng Chao held the microphone.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of competing with a girl?" The host was puzzled.

"The principal was watching me from the audience. I was afraid that if I took Liu Tianxian's seat, he would come up and hit me."

Deng Chao's words made everyone at the scene laugh.

Fang Hong didn't react at all, he just smiled, knowing that it was a joke.

"It's not Deng Chao. If you can't win, then you can't win. Why are you dragging others into this?" Liu Tianxian suddenly spoke.

"Okay, I lost. You decide how to punish me!" Deng Chao was very free and easy.

In fact, I didn't quite dare to argue with Liu Tianxian. I was really a little afraid of her. The main reason was that the principal was really here. It would be easier to talk if she wasn't here.

Liu Tianxian and Jiang Yiyan whispered a few words to each other and the two women made a secret plan.

In such occasions, Liu Tianxian could interact with everyone and gave the opportunity to punish Jiang Yiyan.

"We have unanimously decided that Deng Chao, you should hold the whip and do some pole dancing."

"Wooo ...

Jiang Yiyan's words immediately caused a burst of booing at the scene.

The host handed a whip to Deng Chao and said, "Before the performance, do you want to say something to Sun Li?"

"Anyway, I haven't been home for two months, so I won't go back at all. It's just that there's no one on the other side, so I won't use it." Deng Chao's dirty joke caught people off guard.

The host couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, and walked away embarrassedly.

Liu Tianxian turned her head towards Jiang Yiyan and didn't intend to respond. She still knew her limits.

Although she and Fang Hong often made dirty jokes, they knew how to avoid them in public and knew what to say and what not to say.

After some jokes, Deng Chao started pole dancing. The scene was so eye-catching and enchanting.

Then there were two chairs, and the three women were fighting for them. It was the same as before. Whoever didn't get one would be punished.

As the music played, Liu Tianxian and Jiang Yiyan sat on a chair together, each sitting on half of it.

"It's time for you to show off your sisterly abilities. Who's going to do it?" Deng Chao looked as if it was finally your turn.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Tianxian asked.

"Just like before, do pole dancing like me." Deng Chao said.

"We can play, that's fine with me, but the problem is that we have to sit our whole butt on the chair, what's the point of doing that for two of us?" Liu Tianxian was quite serious and generous.

"Then I'll leave it to the audience. I can't comment on who wins or loses among you."

After Deng Chao said this, the host gave him some advice, and then he said, "Why don't you two do it together?"

The audience immediately started to cheer, and some even shouted "Come on Yifei!"

This made Liu Tianxian feel embarrassed, and then she said openly: "Come on, do it like you did it in a nightclub."

Her tone was very aggressive, and she walked towards the pole with great confidence. When it came to playing, she was always very relaxed.

"Hate it, you found out about this." Deng Chao hesitated and followed her to the steel pipe.

As the music started, Liu Tianxian and Jiang Yiyan each held a steel pipe in one hand and circled around it. The live music was very loud and the lights were very bright.

The audience was also cheering, it was quite lively.

Liu Tianxian didn't dance at all, just shook her hair. Her hair was really black and thick.

"I don't know if the principal has seen it, but it's a feast for our eyes." Deng Chao joked.

Fang Hong just smiled and said nothing. He just watched the noisy game being played on the stage. It was interesting but not boring.

Anyway, the audience was quite excited.

He was chatting with Wang Changtian: "Mr. Wang, do you plan to sell the shares of Tu Piao Piao?"

"Selling at this time?" Wang Changtian looked at him in surprise. He had no intention of selling it at this time.

"An institution wants Tu Piaopiao shares and says they can sell them at a premium. If you want to sell them to make some money, you can tell me." Fang Hong made up a story.

After hearing what he said, Wang Changtian asked, "How much is the premium?"

"If you have this intention, then we can discuss the premium." How could Fang Hong give him a specific number at this time?

This made Wang Changtian think about it, and he looked at the person next to him. It didn't seem like he was joking.

In fact, he wanted to sell it, as his movies in recent years had not made much money.

They have all been copied by Yutu, how can you possibly make money?

Besides, Rabbit Tickets were of no use to him, so he could invest in other things. So when Fang Hong mentioned the premium, he was still a little tempted.
