Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 591 What Identity

After Fang Hong's guidance, Liu Tianxian thought about it quietly and seemed to have figured out something.

To put it simply, your eyes can speak and make people feel profound. How do you speak? Just express what you want to say through your eyes.

It's simple in theory, but difficult in practice!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be just Tony Leung who can do it. Although other great actors can do it, they are not as impressive as him.

"This is an alternative method. How can a mortal be as wise as Lucy? Just having that profound feeling is enough. You don't need to worry too much." Fang Hong said again.

This is the ending of the play. The characters and plot are in a sublimated state, and it does not have the same sense of revenge as in the early part.

"Well, let me try. I'm looking at you now. Do you think I'm talking?" Liu Tianxian nodded.

He put on a serious face, looked steadily at the man in front of him, and thought about what to say to this man.

As she spoke in her heart, her eyes narrowed involuntarily, as if she had a sense of depth.

Fang Hong looked at her beautiful eyes and felt as if her eyes were talking to him. He felt that she was talking to him, but he had no idea what she was talking about.

This is quite rapid progress. He understood it with just a little guidance.

"Hey, there seems to be eye boogers in your eyes." Fang Hong raised his finger and pointed at her eyes, interrupting her at the right time.

"Oh, get out of here."

Liu Tianxian's defense was broken at once, and he no longer had that feeling. He patted his shoulder several times in displeasure, and it was quite heavy. "You are so bad!"

"Hahaha!" Fang Hong laughed.

The two of them started quarreling again, and the people around them looked on curiously.

Some were discussing, some were watching the show, and some were working, but those who were not familiar with the principal would feel that the principal was different from what they usually saw.

Just like when Zhang Duo looked at the principal, he felt that this person was different from what he knew. He treated Liu Tianxian like a couple who had known each other for a long time and was very easy-going.

"Okay, okay, don't damage the clothes. It was just a joke." Fang Hong grabbed Liu Tianxian's wrist, who was wearing a motion capture suit.

"Do I have any questions?" Liu Tianxian asked.

"It's pretty good. The eyes seem to be able to speak." Fang Hong nodded.

"Can we shoot now?" Liu Tianxian asked again, seeking his opinion, essentially wanting to gain confidence.

After reshooting so many times, her confidence was somewhat hit, but this man was able to give her confidence. When Fang Hong said it could be done, she felt confident that it could definitely be done.

"Okay, let's shoot it like this." Fang Hong raised his hand, indicating that they were ready.

While Old Monster Xu was still thinking, he saw the principal raised his hand to indicate that the two were ready, and couldn't help asking, "Have you thought about how to act?"

"Now that you have decided on a director, let's give it a try. I don't know if it will work." Liu Tianxian didn't dare to guarantee it.

"Okay then, everyone take your positions." Old Monster Xu said the next sentence into the intercom. Let's try it out and see if it works.

The crew members did not relax, and the shooting equipment and environmental layout remained the same because they still had to shoot and had not yet finished.

So as soon as they heard Xu Laoguai's instructions, they immediately got back to work.

Let's start from the part where she stretches out her hand. Old Monster Xu stares at the monitor and sees the aura and eyes emanating from Liu Tianxian. He signals the photographer to zoom in and give a close-up.

Camera No. 1 immediately moved closer and gave a close-up of Liu Tianxian's face.

Seeing those slightly deep eyes, Old Monster Xu couldn't help but sit closer and stare at the monitor. He really saw that kind of "wisdom" in Liu Tianxian's eyes.

I didn't expect that she would be able to do it in such a short time.

In fact, it is the feeling of speaking, but this feeling is very abstract and you can interpret it however you want.

But it's still very shallow, but that's enough. Movies need to be post-produced and rendered, and the effect you see now will definitely be different from the effect after post-production.

This shot was very short and was shot quickly.

"Ok, very good, very good." Old Monster Xu stood up and raised his thumb to indicate that this part was passed.

The other staff members also relaxed, turned off the cameras, began to pack up their equipment, and prepared to shoot other scenes.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. This scene had been filmed for several hours and was finally completed.

Old Monster Xu came over and asked Liu Tianxian: "How did you achieve that look?"

"It's just that I want to talk to someone in my heart and express myself to them, but I can't say it out loud, so I think about letting my eyes speak. Anyway, I don't know how to do it, so I just think about it." Liu Tianxian explained with a smile.

"Then you have a high level of comprehension." Old Monster Xu praised.

"It was Fang Hong who taught me. I don't know how to do it either." Liu Tianxian said modestly.

She was thinking about what to say to Fang Hong in her mind, and she had to have a strong feeling to do it.

If it were someone else, with no feelings and nothing to say, it wouldn’t be possible to do it.

Fang Hong had already walked away and was taking off his motion capture suit, which required a special person to take off and was quite expensive.

"Well, you have great potential. If you work harder, you will definitely become a good actor." Old Monster Xu was quite appreciative.

At this age, he is already an outstanding actor with such acting skills.

"Thank you, Director Xu." Liu Tianxian said politely.

Now the filming has been completed and the crew members are dispersing. Of course, there are still people filming in other places.

Fang Hong took off his clothes for a long time and came out, now wearing his original clothes. Liu Tianxian had already removed her makeup and changed into a home coat as it was still quite cold outside.

She was with Liu Xiaoli, and when she saw Fang Hong coming out, she went up to him and took his arm, saying proudly, "Director Xu just praised me."

"What should I praise you for?" Fang Hong asked.

"Praise my acting skills!" Liu Tianxian boasted.

"It's all thanks to me. You wouldn't have figured it out without me." Fang Hong took the credit for himself.

"Who said I relied on you? I figured it out on my own." Liu Tianxian patted his chest and refused to admit it.

Liu Xiaoli stood by and shook her head with a smile.

"Then you still want me to give you advice."

"I was just testing you."

The sound of the two people bickering faded away until it disappeared.

In April, the international release of "Gravity" was nearing its end, with a total box office of $2.19 million in North America.

Compared with the previous life, it is almost 4.2 million dollars less, or million.

It’s normal, it’s a Chinese-language movie after all!
In the international market, that is, excluding North America and China, the total box office was 3.59 million US dollars.

Compared with the previous life, it is about 6.3 million US dollars less, which is about 1 million US dollars. In total, it is more than billion less than the previous life, which is more than million US dollars.

There is no way around it. Chinese-language films do not have the same advantages as Hollywood films in the international market.

Excluding China, Gravity's total international box office was 5.78 million U.S. dollars, or nearly 40.46 billion.

Including the Chinese box office, the global total box office is 74.16 billion, which is about 10.5 billion US dollars when converted into US dollars!

This result ranks 16th in global film history.

Just behind "Transformers 4" and before "The Dark Knight Rises".

It is very impressive that the global film history of this year can exceed 3 billion. Those "Avatar: The Way of Water", "Avengers ", "The Lion King" and so on have not been released yet.

But records are meant to be broken. But that didn’t stop the domestic media from making a big fuss about it, and it created a storm for a while.

"Everyone stand up! Gravity has grossed over 74 billion worldwide, ranking 16th in global film history!"

"No. 16 in the world, Gravity has exceeded 74 billion and has been the international box office champion for three consecutive weeks."

"The principal and Liu Tianxian set new film records and became the highest-grossing directors and actors."

"Gravity broke 14 records. Why is it so awesome?"

"The extra story of 'Gravity', 'Liu Tianxian Literature', is a big hit, netizens: So talented!"

This is to use some of Liu Tianxian's previous interview quotes as examples of success and inspiration.

Even the CCTV evening news devoted 2 minutes to reporting on the fact that Gravity had made it onto the film history rankings.

A beautiful and dignified hostess said this when standing in front of the camera:

"The cumulative box office of Gravity, including overseas box office, has exceeded 74 billion yuan. This is the first Chinese film and the first in Asia to have a box office of over 70 billion yuan. At the same time, the film has entered the 16th place in the history of global films."

Then some of the interviewees' reactions were played, and the general manager of Vancouver's Lucky Plaza Theaters entered the screen and said, "Many viewers are very excited to see this movie, and it has achieved very good box office results around the world."

The picture shows Hollywood director Yu Xian, who said to the camera: "This movie has become world-class in terms of both pictures and special effects."

This negates all other space science fiction movies.

In the picture, an American audience member said excitedly in front of the camera: "I really like this movie. The viewing experience is great, and the leading actress is also great."

CCTV is also good at showing off. I don’t know when they got these overseas clips and interviews.

But it helps to increase national pride.

The Film Bureau also announced that it will do its utmost to crack down on piracy and protect the film "Gravity"!
This post is to combat pirated links.

It's pirated content that came from overseas in Southeast Asia, and piracy is rampant there.

This was only remembered after the movie was over.

But it’s great to be able to have a special article published about it. No other movie has this treatment.

Zhang Hongsen from the Film Bureau published a post on WeChat Moments praising Gravity, praising director Fang Hong as a true filmmaker. The original post said:
"I don't usually say much, but once I start creating, I really devote myself to it. I shoot space with a fearless spirit!"

At the same time, he also praised the actor Liu Tianxian and all the staff for withstanding the pressure and insisting on creating, just for: "For a strong motherland, for a strong aerospace, and for the rise of Chinese films!"

What he says in public is always so correct and so brilliant, but of course he behaves the same way in private.

The people in the upper echelons always give people a feeling of seriousness and majesty.

Generally speaking, Fang Hong doesn't buy into that, they are all human beings.

The popularity of "Gravity" not only made Liu Tianxian a big hit, but also made Guo Jinfei a big hit due to her unlimited rise in star status.

There are only these two actors, no other actors.

Guo Jinfei received many film offers and interviews for a while, and of course he inevitably mentioned Fang Hong in every interview.

He said: "I have followed him since the beginning. In fact, the principal is a very grateful person. Although he doesn't say much, he has never treated anyone unfairly.

All of the people who followed him the earliest have ended up in a bad situation, such as Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yilong, Zhao Xiaodao, Cai Wenjing, and Nazha. Who wouldn’t be popular? All of those who were behind the scenes at the beginning have bought houses in Beijing.”

It is true that Fang Hong has always benefited those who followed him the earliest. Now he is benefiting another group of people. He has been doing it all the time and has never stopped.

Guo Jingfei said that Liu Tianxian said: "She is a very real girl, like a clear stream."

Although the words are few, the evaluation is very high.

Most people have no idea what kind of person the principal is, but Liu Tianxian has worked with her several times and is good at socializing, so she knows her better than the principal.

Liu Tianxian is now silent and will not accept any interviews, exclusive interviews or activities. She needs some time to calm down and let her popularity go down.

So people found Guo Jingfei to tell some gossip, which in turn satisfied some moviegoers and fans.

However, Liu Tianxian couldn't keep a low profile even if she wanted to. After "Gravity" was withdrawn from theaters around the world, another piece of information sparked global public opinion.

"The principal and Liu Tianxian are on the cover of Time magazine! They have been named Person of the Year respectively."

The background of the cover of Time magazine is a bright red background, foreshadowing the East. Fang Hong is wearing a black suit with his legs crossed; Liu Tianxian is sitting on the ground, lying on his legs.

Both of them looked serious and unsmiling as they looked ahead, giving people a sense of oppression.

The inside pages introduce the life stories of the two people, one an actor and the other a director, and how they stepped into the world step by step.

And the title is: "Leading Chinese culture to the world."

After this cover came out, it was widely circulated and cited around the world.

Time magazine is distributed in more than 160 countries around the world, basically covering all countries on the earth, although it still cannot compete with television news and newspapers in terms of dissemination.

But in terms of authority and irreplaceability, it is the most internationally influential news weekly.

Other media have timeliness, that is, once you read today’s information, you will forget it tomorrow, but as long as Time magazine appears in it, its influence will always be there.

This has brought their influence to a new level.

Of course, they are not the only directors and actors to have appeared on the cover of Time magazine. Gong Huang, Man Huang, Faye Wong and Fang Long have all appeared on the cover before.

Chen Kaige and Stephen Chow have also visited the movie.

Even so, it proves its rarity and status, and everyone who has landed on it is a top-level figure.

All of them have achieved success internationally!
Liu Tianxian has reached the same level as those glorious figures of the past, and her status has reached that of a superstar.

I have no rivals among my peers, of course, this is in terms of achievements.

Who of her age has ever been on the cover of Time magazine? Remember, she is not even 30 years old yet.

The only one who can be compared with her is the former international star Zhang Ziyi. At that time, international star Zhang Ziyi was really in the limelight. She was hailed as the youth leader, the spokesperson of the East in Hollywood, and a model of the modern "Chinese Dream"!

Of course, Liu Tianxian’s success was not achieved through artistic achievements, but through good works and continuous box office accumulation.

Zhang Ziyi also rose to international fame by directing many art films. Who else can have the same treatment as her?

Liu Tianxian has only filmed more than ten movies and still has a long way to go, but as long as she has Fang Hong and Yutu, she can go further.

Everything is praised by people!
Now Liu Tianxian's achievements far surpass those of "The Forbidden Kingdom", both in terms of influence and achievements, allowing overseas audiences to get rid of their previous impressions of her.

In the past, people had a vague impression of her, and the impression she had was limited to "The Forbidden Kingdom". Now when people mention Liu Tianxian, they will think of her "Gravity".

This is an unparalleled masterpiece!
Liu Tianxian was featured in Time magazine, and her fans were naturally ecstatic and proud of their idol.

Her competitors, those young actresses were naturally envious and jealous, and they all imitated the styles of the two.

The big baby lies on Huang Xiaoming's lap; the blind sister lies on the old man's lap; the big Mi Mi lies on Liu Kaiwei's lap; Sun Li lies on Deng Chao's lap.
They are so popular that they are gaining popularity. They have caused a sensation in public opinion and attracted people's attention. They give people the impression that they are superior.

Of course, some people are making spoofs and imitating others, like Deng Chao and Sun Li who are making spoofs and imitating others on variety shows.

On Happy Camp, Xie Na also made a spoof imitation, saying that she wanted to lie on Li Weijia's legs, which made the audience laugh.

It's a gimmick and audiences love to watch it.

It seemed as if the entire entertainment industry was shrouded in the atmosphere of Liu Tianxian and the principal.

But the two did not show up and there was no response.

Liu Tianxian has already gone to Macau. Many reporters and event invitations are looking for her. Of course, she knows everything about the outside world, but she wants to fade out of the spotlight, so she ignores it.

If Fang Hong pays attention to these people, he will lose. What is his identity?
