Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 569 I Lived with the Principal

Due to the 13-hour time difference between the two places, the local time in Los Angeles will be 13 hours later than the Beijing time. If you depart at pm, you will arrive at Los Angeles International Airport around : am the next day.

This is the first time the two of them have set foot on Los Angeles again in five years, and it seems like just yesterday!

"Wow! The sun is shining, it feels so comfortable." Liu Tianxian opened her arms.

The weather in Los Angeles is like this, dry and rainy, sunny all year round, and the highest average temperature is around 23 degrees.

The lowest average temperature is around 13 degrees.

The weather here is similar to that of Kunming in my country. It is not too hot, nor too cold, and the temperature is just right.

Fang Hong felt like he had come to a different world when he came here. There were unfamiliar words everywhere, blond-haired and blue-eyed white people, and dark-skinned black people.

Occasionally, when I see a yellow person, I feel very close to him, just like the feeling of meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land and having tears in your eyes.

But he didn’t say hello, so who knows if he is Japanese or Korean?
Shi Zhimao is fine. He has lived here for many years. Even though he has returned to his country for a few years, his basic habits are still somewhat Westernized.

"After so many years, there hasn't been much change here." Stone Spear sighed.

I've only been away for four or five years, what changes could there be?

"Sister Shi, I heard that you have been here for many years, is that true?" Liu Tianxian asked.

She was dressed casually, wearing a sweater, jeans, and a pair of large sunglasses. Almost no one here knew her.

We are face-blind to foreigners, and foreigners are also face-blind to us.

"I've lived here for almost fifteen years. I studied here and worked at Pixar for a few years," said Stone Spear.

"Wow, isn't that the company that Steve Jobs used to work for?" Liu Tianxian exclaimed. He had heard a little about it.

"Yes, Steve Jobs also made cartoons before. Toy Story was the world's first fully computer-generated animated feature film. It was a huge success and successfully pushed Pixar to go public. When Disney acquired it, it spent 74 billion US dollars." Stone Spear recounted the past of her former company.

Pixar is now an animation company under Disney, but before it was acquired by Disney, it was Steve Jobs' company. As early as 1986, the company was acquired by Jobs for million US dollars.

That is, Jobs bought it for 74 million US dollars and finally sold it to Disney for billion US dollars, a huge profit!
"It seems that talented people are great at everything they do." Liu Tianxian sighed. He said this to Fang Hong.

"That's right. Although I'm a director, I'm also good at the Internet, games, and running companies." Fang Hong praised himself.

"If you have the ability, make a groundbreaking mobile phone for me." Liu Tianxian said.

"I can't do it." Fang Hong shook his head.

"That's right. They changed an era and led an era, while you at most just adapted to the times." There was some truth in what Liu Tianxian said.

Even though she is usually not interested in these things, she is smart and knows what is going on.

"I was born late. If I had been born a few decades earlier, Steve Jobs would have no chance of appearing. He would only be overshadowed by my brilliance." Fang Hong boasted.

"Tsk!" Liu Tianxian waved her hand and ignored him.

Several people dragged their luggage out of the airport hall, which was crowded and extremely noisy. From time to time, there were broadcast announcements, of course in English.

The three of them were on the side of the road, with a lot of traffic passing outside.

"Didn't you tell me to wait? It's already this late and there's still no sign of him." Liu Tianxian looked at the watch on her wrist.

Before boarding the plane, they agreed on a certain arrival time and asked Yu to wait here in advance.

"Who knows him? I'll give him a call." Fang Hong took out his cell phone. He wasn't allowed to make phone calls on the plane before.

Just as he was about to dial, a stylish G-Class stopped in front of the three of them and the window rolled down.

Yu Xian took off his sunglasses, shook his head, and said in a strange tone: "Hello, handsome men and beautiful women from the East, get in the car!"

"Why do you act like a rebellious young man?" Liu Tianxian wanted to laugh when he saw him like this, wearing a leather jacket with a beard on it.

But Yu Xian is not that old now, he is about the same age as her, and he has made a fortune before he even turns 30.
"Rebellious? Young people here in the United States are all like this, it's called fashion." Yu Xian looked at himself.

"Okay, okay, it's pretty cool, and the car is also cool." Liu Tianxian looked at the servant and the car.

"That's right. I bought this car a long time ago, but you haven't been to the United States for many years so you can't see it. There's also a house. I'll take you to see it later." Yu Xian seemed proud. He bought a car and a house in the past few years, but he had never shown off in front of the principal.

"Not bad, not bad." Liu Tianxian was pleased to see that he was doing well.

Although she had heard about what kind of mansion Yu Xian bought, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

Fang Hong and Shi Zhimao put their luggage in the trunk, then got on the passenger seat, and the two girls sat in the back.

After he sat in the passenger seat, he looked at Yu Xian.

"Although we haven't seen each other for a few years, I know you miss me very much, but there is no need for you to look at me like that. It would make Fairy Sister feel embarrassed." Yu Xian joked, and he was driving.

"Tsk! I don't care who he is looking at." Liu Tianxian looked very disdainful in the back row.

Of course, this is the case on the surface, but I don’t know what they think in their hearts.

"That's because you don't know the relationship between us. When we used to take a bath and massage together, our friendship was very deep." Yu Xian is now very open and no longer shy. He has also talked to Liu Tianxian on the phone many times and can joke with her.

Hearing this, Stone Spear couldn't help but burst out laughing. He couldn't imagine two grown men doing that.

But she just took it as a joke and didn't think it was serious.

"I don't believe it." Liu Tianxian was skeptical.

"Don't disbelieve me, we have lived together. I have lived with the principal." Yu Xian showed off. At least he could gain some face if he told others about it.

He knew that the principal was well-known in the country, but now he was also very famous in Hollywood.

Only because of the release of "Big Hero 6" and "Gravity" did some people pay attention to this mysterious figure from the East.

It has attracted the attention of some people with its technical means and production strength that are not inferior to Hollywood.

Previously, only a few bosses knew about it, namely Universal's Donna, Warner's Lao Zha, and although they had heard of Flower Growers, they heard about Yu Xian, and the film was not up to standard. The films they shot were either pornographic or horror. How could they be considered mainstream?

Even if it makes money and has good box office, the mainstream will still not recognize it. Of course, for a movie of the size of Hollywood, the box office can only be said to be okay.

The highest box office was "Fifty Shades of Grey" which grossed over $500 million, and no other movie grossed more than $400 million.

Four hundred million dollars converted into RMB is only 28 billion.

Nowadays, a movie in the domestic market can almost reach this scale, not to mention that Hollywood is targeting the global market.

Recently, "Gravity" has received high praise in the Hollywood circle.

Cameron was highly praised, saying: "I think this is the best space-themed movie ever. I haven't seen this kind of movie for a long time. It is said that the principal from the East sent a story about a woman fighting for her life in zero gravity. This story has no trace of pretense."

Gilmore said: "The most designed, elegant and powerful science fiction film."

Guillermo is the guy who directed Pacific Rim and also wrote The Hobbit.

"Gravity" is still fermenting in North America and overseas, and few viewers who have seen it say that the movie is bad.

Rotten Tomatoes has a 96% freshness rating, a total score of 10 points, and a score of 8.7 points; Metacritic is at the "general acclaim" level.

However, this movie is different from the domestic version in that the part about the patriotic nature of the radio has been deleted, and it has been made into the heroine's fantasy in accordance with the original version.

So Liu Tianxian performed the role twice at that time.

This was suggested by Universal Studios at the time, as overseas audiences would not accept such patriotic sentiments. You can satirize and criticize, but they cannot get enough of such patriotic sentiments.

They are not from your country, how can they empathize with you?

Censorship is not easy either. Imported films are not as lenient as domestic films, and they are released in so many countries that you can't possibly deal with censorship in every one of them.

"Gravity" was released in 52 countries one after another. It is said to be released simultaneously in the world, but in fact it was only released simultaneously in China, North America and South Korea. Other places will be released successively at different times.

So Fang Hong thought about it and decided to follow the original version.

"Oh, then you two are in true love!" Liu Tianxian chuckled and teased.

"It was true love between him and me. We were just starting our careers at that time. Our first movie hadn't been released yet and we had just graduated from Beijing Film Academy, so we rented a house together temporarily," Fang Hong explained.

"Oh, so that's it!" Liu Tianxian expressed her understanding.

At that time, she knew that the man was very poor and had asked her to borrow money even though he had no money. She knew the situation.

But at that time, the two of them had just met and couldn't help much.

"If he says so, you just believe it"

"Why are you so talkative? You're just like a woman. I heard there are 97 genders in the United States. Were you tricked into having a sex change?"

Yu Xian was about to speak when he was interrupted by Fang Hong.

"Am I that stupid? Even if I don't want to be a human being, there is no way I can have a sex change!" Yu Xian felt a pain in his balls and felt a chill at the thought of being castrated.

"That's good. Don't be so stupid as to be tricked into having a sex change. I heard that the son of the world's richest man was tricked into having a sex change and became a woman." Fang Hong gossiped.

This is about Musk's son, who was deceived by some people and turned from a man into a woman. It's quite sad.

"Who is it? How come I don't know?" Yu Xian was puzzled. He had never heard that Bill Gates' son was tricked into becoming a woman.

And his son seems to be still very young, only 16 years old, born in 99.

The richest man in the world now is Bill Gates!

The two people behind were also very curious, and had never heard of this.

"I just heard about it. Maybe there is, maybe not. This country is so chaotic, who knows." Fang Hong casually changed the subject.

"Aren't you a pure black American?" Yu Xian said.
