Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 587 Respect Life, Accelerate Self-Destruction (Two in One)

In the spacious and bright auditorium, the dome is high and a large crystal chandelier hangs, emitting soft light.

The main color of the entire auditorium is red, and the walls, carpets and curtains have a red warmth and solemnity.

There are rows of seats neatly arranged below, and each row is filled with people wearing uniforms, standing straight and looking very energetic.

They are neat, solemn and focused, as if there is a sense of sacredness.

These people are young people who are about to join the party!
There was a large screen in the front, which was so large that it covered the entire front of the auditorium, and the movie "Gravity" was playing on the screen.

After the movie was over, there was a burst of applause from the audience, and the curtain slowly rose, revealing a stage several dozen centimeters high.

The stage was covered with a red carpet, and at the edge of the stage there was a podium.

Zhang Hongsen walked to the podium and stood there, facing the many young people present. He said:
"The film Gravity, through artistic expression, shows China's spirit of heading into space and unswervingly following the path of peaceful development, and its participation in international affairs and its humanitarian responsibility as a major country.

It highlights the precious craftsmanship of Chinese filmmakers in the creative and production process; it demonstrates the spirit of the times of the Chinese film industry to actively explore, meet challenges and dare to surpass.

Since the film was released, it has been well received by the audience, achieved good social benefits, and achieved the unity of social and economic benefits.

While he was speaking, Liu Tianxian was reciting the manuscript in the backstage seriously.

This manuscript was written by someone else and given to her. It was not too long, but she was afraid of making a mistake in writing a word, so she was very rigorous.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Hongsen came up to her and said, "It's your turn."

"Director Zhang!" Liu Tianxian stood up and let out a light breath.

"Don't be so nervous. You don't have to speak according to the script. You can also speak in your own words. As long as you speak well and have ideas, there will be no problem." Zhang Hongsen gestured for her to relax.

"I'm just afraid of saying something wrong." Liu Tianxian said.

"What can go wrong when talking about a movie? It's not about right and wrong. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Just speak openly. I see that you are usually quite open-minded," Zhang Hongsen encouraged.

"Thank you, Director Zhang!" Although she said that, Liu Tianxian still couldn't relax.

"It's okay. The script is just to give you a direction, and you can do it your own way." Zhang Hongsen signaled that he could go on stage.

He has known Liu Tianxian for a long time and he quite likes this girl's personality. She is generous, modest and polite. At least she leaves a better impression than the principal.

The principal doesn't know what modesty and politeness are!
In that person's eyes, it seemed that all people were the same, with no distinction between high and low.

Liu Tianxian tucked her hair behind her ears and appeared from the backstage to the front stage. She immediately attracted the gazes of countless pairs of eyes, which made her heart tighten.

The main reason was that these people were too quiet. Unlike the entertainment industry where she was always noisy and bustling with countless flashes of light, here it was quiet and solemn.

Those gazes give people a sense of pressure.

She calmed herself down, walked to the podium and stood facing forward. She was wearing a white shirt and loose black straight pants, giving people a simple, clean and elegant feeling.

“People who like Gravity don’t necessarily understand science, but people who don’t like it definitely don’t understand movies. This movie cannot be interpreted as science.

It can't just be seen as a movie, it tells a story about respect for life, and many clips in the film are metaphors for how life is born."

Liu Tianxian's baby voice has a gentle feeling:
“For example, when the heroine was driving the space capsule and flying towards the earth with many debris, she was the fastest one among these burning and long-tailed bright spots, like a sperm rushing towards the mother body of the earth.

The heroine returns to the space capsule like a baby curled up in the womb, simulating the process of life's gestation, birth and evolution at the end.

The space capsule fell into the ocean, which is the origin of life on Earth. The heroine was born with difficulty and swam to the land, just as the initial evolution of life was from the ocean to the land, from crawling on all fours to walking upright, all of which show the greatness and respectability of human life.

We should cherish life and respect every life, just like our country, which always advocates putting people's lives first.

Everyone has only one life, but birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable, and there are many challenges in life. Even so, we should not give up on life, just like the heroine in the movie, who did not give up her desire for life even in the most desperate moments.

Just like our Chinese nation, which has an enterprising spirit, has never been afraid of hardships, dares to overcome any challenges, and blooms a new life in desperate situations. "

Everyone in the audience was staring at the person on the stage silently. Some had firm eyes, which gradually softened, as if the person on the stage was emitting a maternal glow as she spoke these words.

She gives people a sense of warmth and comfort. Whether listening to her speak or looking at her temperament, it gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Liu Tianxian talked about the theme of respecting life throughout the speech, respecting the life of each and every person.

This is exactly what the country has always advocated, putting people’s lives first.

The Chinese nation faced survival challenges but was able to rise from the ashes in the collapse, which is also a rebirth.

"Astronauts are a respected profession. Every time they go into space, it is a journey of life."

"Thank you everyone! I am the tour guide Liu Yifei!" After Liu Tianxian finished speaking, she bowed slightly to the people present to express her gratitude!
There was warm applause at the scene that lasted for a long time.

Liu Tianxian waited until the applause died down before she walked backstage. As soon as she arrived, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was forcing herself to remain calm just now, her heart was in her throat, but luckily she finished the whole thing without making any mistakes.

"Okay, good, very well said." Zhang Hongsen came over and praised.

He was waiting backstage and didn't go anywhere else. He listened to her speech throughout.

What she said was secondary, the main thing was that she had such a good temperament.

"All thanks to Director Zhang's guidance. I actually forgot the lyrics, so I made up a lot of them on my own." Liu Tianxian seemed a little embarrassed. She was too nervous.

"It's okay, as long as I get my point across." Zhang Hongsen waved his hand, looking very relaxed.

This is not a big deal. I just explain the theme of the movie to people. My identity is not that important.

I'm just using her words, she's a tour guide!
"That's fine. Thank you Director Zhang for your care." Liu Tianxian was grateful and considered the task completed.

"Don't be so polite. We have met several times and are familiar with each other."

Zhang Hongsen stretched out his hand and gestured, "Let's talk!"

"Ah! Talk to me?" Liu Tianxian opened her eyes in surprise. What was there to talk about with her? She was just an actor.

"Yes, what movie are you going to shoot next?" Zhang Hongsen chatted with her as they walked, seeming very easy-going.

The staff here saw it and didn't disturb them.

"Lucy 2!" Liu Tianxian didn't know what Director Zhang was going to do, so she had to accompany him.

The main reason was that Fang Hong was not here, and she had no one to offer advice or analysis, so she was a little confused. Usually Fang Hong would analyze things with her.

Just like the bodyguard incident before, something that happened before.

"The sequel to Lucy 1?" Zhang Hongsen knew that movie and it did well at the overseas box office.

"Not really. It's just another story. I just gave it this name for better publicity. The first part is already somewhat well-known."

Liu Tianxian explained, and said again: "We found an American to play the villain, and the film will be released overseas."

"A co-production?" Zhang Hongsen was quite interested.

"I heard from Fang Hong that he wants to make it a co-production. He's afraid that when it's exported to the United States, the Americans won't allow it to pass censorship. He hasn't decided yet. After the filming is finished, he will treat it as an export film and see if it works. If that doesn't work, he will just do a co-production." Liu Tianxian is really well-informed.

She knew things that Chen Zhixi and Xu Laoguai didn't know, and she hadn't informed the Film Bureau. If it was a co-production, it would have to be approved by the Film Bureau.

So Liu Tianxian already knew things that Zhang Hongsen didn’t even know.

It was normal, the two of them lying on the bed and talking about everything.

A movie can be shot first and then co-shot. Many movies have done this, including "Iron Man 3".

But Marvel played us like a fool and disqualified it.

Because he made two versions, the domestic version had Chinese people present abroad, but the foreign version did not, so he was rejected for this kind of play.

The original intention was to use the influence of this movie to allow Chinese people to shine internationally, but Disney played a shady game.

Later, "Operation Jiaolong" did not perform well at the box office, so it was re-registered and became a co-production. Fortunately, it was released overseas with loose review.

"Is that so?" Zhang Hongsen remained silent.

It seems that some of the principal's actions still need to be asked to Liu Tianxian. Even if you ask the principal, you won't get a single truth, and he never gives any guarantees.

He always says he will try his best. Before, when I asked him to shoot more science fiction films like "Gravity", I also said I would try my best, but I never promised anything.

The shooting plan is not disclosed, so you can just guess.

"So does your girlfriend have any plans for filming next?" he asked.

“Yes, ‘The Martian’! This should be a co-production, confirmed.” Liu Tianxian said affirmatively.

I heard from Fang Hong that this movie should win her an Oscar, but whether she can win depends on herself. It is also a survival challenge movie.

Fang Hong had already bought the copyright for the novel for this movie, but had never filmed it.

The swapping of the male and female protagonists does not affect the plot, and there is no emotional drama. Only emotional scenes require a male and female protagonist.

Just by hearing the name Zhang Hongsen, you know that this is another science fiction film, and it also reflects the power of their aviation technology.

When asked, the principal said nothing and kept his mouth shut.

The reason why Fang Hong didn't say anything was that there was nothing to say. These things didn't matter in the first place. What was there to say? He could just talk to Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian didn't say everything and was very sensible, only talking about the shooting plan.

I won’t tell you how much money was invested as it’s a secret.

"You have performed well internationally this time and have gained some fame. We hope that in the future, your words and deeds can represent the Chinese people and talk more about the good things of our country, just like Fang Long and Gong Huang." Zhang Hongsen changed the subject without hiding anything and went straight to the point.

Our image has always been not very good in the eyes of the international public, so we need representatives to show it.

Fang Long is old, always noisy, and his personal life is not in good order. His son is involved in many scandals, and he has not produced any representative works overseas in many years.

It's time for a new successor!
Li Lianjie always talks about the "freedom, freedom" of the West, which is annoying to hear. There is nothing to criticize about Gong Huang except his nationality. His values ​​are also very positive. He has never said anything bad about the country and has always regarded himself as a Chinese.

She just married a Frenchman and always lives away from home.

But she is only well-known in Europe and Asia, and has a great influence in the industry, but she is not well-known among the lower-class civilians.

It's normal, it's always an art film.

Liu Tianxian has been in China for a long time. She has a very good image and temperament. She is generous and frank, more approachable, and well-known, which is just right.

The main reason is that we have such a strong backing as the principal and Yutu.

To enhance our soft power, we need to make foreigners feel good about us so as to boost tourism.

Just like later, various regions’ cultural and tourism departments invited celebrities to visit their local areas to boost local tourism, and even specifically called on celebrities to come and play.

Britney Spears and Ayumi Hamasaki once had such influence internationally.

"I have always been doing this. I have always said that I am a Chinese and have never said anything bad about the motherland." Liu Tianxian became serious.

"That's good, as long as you know it." Zhang Hongsen nodded.

That's all he has to say, nothing else.

"I'll keep it in mind." Liu Tianxian nodded.

The two ended their conversation here. Zhang Hongsen basically knew the principal's next plan, and also knew that Liu Tianxian would further promote it internationally.

Next, Liu Tianxian’s party class lecture in the auditorium was not released in its entirety, nor was any publicity given.

Instead, it was made into a promotional video and circulated in major colleges, hospitals, etc., as well as in some basic branches and grassroots groups, those that serve the people.

Just showing it to them, it doesn't mean anything.

But it was still spread because many people went to see a doctor and there would be a TV on the wall next to them, so they could watch Liu Tianxian's explanation on TV.

But it was not an explanation of the entire video, only a part of the essence was picked out, and then the voice-over announced: "Respect life and always put the life and health of the people first."

This sentence also appeared in big red font.

By the way, I also played some very exciting movie clips about "Gravity".

It can be seen on the online party website and the General Administration website. Of the hour-long speech, only about 4 to 5 minutes were left. How miserable!
This video was not specifically promoted, but it was still discovered by netizens, and portal Internet sites such as Sina and Sohu reported and reposted it.

It immediately aroused heated discussion among netizens.

People are still talking about the same things, saying that she is beautiful, that she is fairy-like, and that she is calm and dignified.

This time Liu Tianxian spoke very calmly. He was not as relaxed and natural as before. Instead, he maintained a respectful attitude and was very cautious.

Of course, some people brought up her nationality, and fans responded: "She didn't do anything, she just explained the theme of the movie."

The quarrel was quite fierce, and it was completely dark.

Anyway, Liu Tianxian was already used to it, and she had prepared herself mentally the moment she agreed to give the speech, so she ignored it.

March 3th, sunny day, at the gate of Yutu Film and Television Base on the outskirts of Huairou.

There were a lot of people watching here, all of them were members of the "Lucy 1" crew, people who came to watch the fun, and some media reporters who were taking pictures.

In front of the statue, there is a row of people standing, including the main actors Xu Ke, Liu Tianxian, Zhang Duo, and Li Xuejian.

There are also producer Nansun Shi and many behind-the-scenes staff.

They stood in several rows, holding red envelopes in their hands, with a banner above their heads that read "The Opening Ceremony of Lucy 2". They smiled and took a group photo in front of the camera.

The camera froze and took in the large statue of "Chang'e holding a rabbit".

There was constant conversation at the scene, and a staff member handed three incense sticks to each person, and then placed them one by one in the incense burner under the feet of "Chang'e Holding Rabbit".

It was filled up in a moment, and the cigarette smoke was curling!

This was released by a Yutu employee just for fun. I didn’t expect the crew of “Lucy 2” to do the same.

The main reason is that old monster Xu has a bad taste. Burning incense for others doesn't work. Let's see if burning incense for this statue can make it go overseas again.

Old Monster Xu wore sunglasses and smiled crookedly: "How does it feel to burn incense for yourself?"

"I usually don't think of this statue as myself. I just think of it as a logo of Yutu Company. So, I just keep a normal mind." Liu Tianxian looked very cool wearing sunglasses.

But she still dresses very femininely.

"Hahaha, it seems that the principal copied the appearance of Chang'e specifically to look like you. He also has faith in you." Old Monster Xu laughed.

"Respecting your partner requires faith, so that you can have long-lasting happiness." Liu Tianxian raised the corners of her mouth with a slight smile, and acted very talkative.

"That's true. Very profound." Old Monster Xu thought her ideas were quite advanced.

"Director Xu, why do you want to burn incense to this statue?" Liu Tianxian asked.

"As for me, I think it's useless to pray for others, so I'll pray for this statue and see if my movie can be released in the United States and Europe, so that I can fulfill my dream of becoming an international director." Old Monster Xu laughed.

"In our hearts, you already are." Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

"Hey, don't say that." Old Monster Xu said modestly.

While the two were chatting, the staff were also talking in groups of three or five.

The American villain actor didn't show up yet and will join the crew in a few days. His scenes were not filmed at the beginning.

First, shoot some special effects scenes in the virtual and real studios, such as the heroine in New York's Times Square, moving back and forth like a slide.

Such a scene needs to be shot in a virtual reality studio, which was changed to face Tiananmen Square.

But it is impossible to actually go to Tiananmen Square to shoot, so special effects are needed to produce it.

There are also scenes where the heroine enters the consciousness space, which all require special effects processing. It happened that the Yutu Film and Television Base has been built and can be put into use.

"Lucy 2" is a pure thrill film. Liu Tianxian can fully act in this role, just like in "Bad Genius", she just needs to act with exuberant aura.

She has played this type of role before, and this movie is designed to help her consolidate her status internationally.

I can't always play challenging roles. It would be very tiring, and it would also be a blow if I failed because I was not in good shape.

This play is produced by Nansun Shi, and Fang Hong is under pressure to keep the plot from being changed, so there won't be any problems, and it won't allow Xu Ke to let himself go.

"The opening ceremony of Lucy 2, the first collaboration between Liu Tianxian and Xu Laoguai!"

"Xu Laoguai is full of confidence: I believe my creation will surprise the audience!"

"Liu Tianxian commented on Xu Laoguai: a genius director!"

"Xu Laoguai commented on Liu Tianxian: She is beautiful but not aware of it. Her beauty is natural and does not need to be deliberately designed or packaged!"

There is news on the Internet that Liu Tianxian has joined the group. Xu Laoguai speaks highly of Liu Tianxian, but it is normal, Xu Laoguai praises everyone, and he even praised Toothpick two days ago.

That’s how it is in this circle, the ways of the human relations are handled very well.

Anyway, if someone praises Liu Tianxian, the fans will be happy and lick the screen.

Those young actresses and leading ladies nowadays feel that they are getting further and further away from Liu Tianxian, who is able to work with top directors, and they feel like they are out of reach.

This is normal. The people Liu Tianxian has come into contact with are no longer of the same level. The people she has come into contact with recently are people like Donna, Zhang Hongsen, Chen Zhixi, etc.

Either the president or the government officials above them rarely come into contact with celebrity actors.

Just because Fang Hong was in contact with the same people, it was natural for her to also come into contact with them. After all, Fang Hong always kept her by his side.

This is the class advancement brought by the circle.

The higher the level of a person, the fewer friends he or she will have. It is impossible to have as many friends as before.

While Liu Tianxian is filming, Fang Hong has recently been busy with Chang'e Technology, thinking about how to make money and how to kill "King of Glory".

The two games are competing so fiercely that all information media and social platforms are criticizing "Honor of Kings" in all aspects, and even the anchors are criticizing it in various ways.

This has resulted in a downward trend in the revenue of “Honor of Kings”.

Damn, Tencent is still very strong, I underestimated their capabilities.

At that time, Fang Hong adopted a conservative strategy, which was not to fight them, ignore them, and wait for them to self-destruct. However, he didn't expect that what they wanted was to ignore him and erode him step by step.

We have to wait for the other party to self-destruct, and we don't know when that will happen. This is somewhat out of our control.

So he had to think of a way to make "King of Glory" self-destruct faster and kill himself sooner, otherwise the other party would not self-destruct but kill himself.

It would be funny if Chang'e Technology couldn't hold up.

Fang Hong found Hua Wei and said to him, "Go find the planner of "Everyone Super God" and see what their next version update will be like?"

"Selling inside information?" Hua Wei immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, there is a lot of corruption inside Tencent. If you spend some time to buy this information, you will definitely be able to buy it." Fang Hong said.

He saw on the news in his previous life that Tony Ma himself talked about the corruption within Tencent at an internal meeting, and he used the word "shocking".

"Okay, I'll try, but what exactly should we do? I'm afraid if I don't get the information you want, it will be a waste of money." Hua Wei said.

"I'll take a look at their version updates to see if they can speed up the death of 'King of Glory'. Try to get as much information as possible about their version updates." Fang Hong was afraid that the next version would not have their self-destruction point, so he would check the next version.

Take some measures to speed up the explosion of this game!
