Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 645 The Principal Takes Action

Although it is afternoon now, the sky is still bright and the sun shows no sign of setting.

The crew members were taking a break, some were chatting in groups of three or five, and some were eating boxed lunches. Basically, they all saw Liu Xiaoli and cast their glances at her.

Liu Xiaoli is also very popular here. People here, whether they know her or not, all greet her.

"Aunt Liu!"

"Aunt Liu! Hello!"

"Aunt Liu, why are you here?"

"Hello, hello. I'm just bored at home, so I came to see Xixi filming and take care of her."

Liu Xiaoli responded with a smile that she knew some of them, some she didn’t, and of course she didn’t know most of them.

After all, she hasn't appeared for a long time.

"Sister Yifei and the principal are inside. You can see them when you go over." Li Anran pointed the way to Liu Xiaoli.

"Okay, thank you, you go ahead." Liu Xiaoli said politely and walked inside as instructed.

The roads here are not easy to walk on, they are all Gobi Desert.

At this time, Liu Tianxian and Fang Hong were sitting together eating boxed lunches, and there was no one around.

They saw Liu Xiaoli coming towards them from a distance.

The two put down their bowls, stood up and went to meet them. Liu Tianxian looked behind her mother and tried to ask, "Are you here alone?"

"Of course I'm alone." Liu Xiaoli said, looking her daughter up and down, focusing on her abdomen, which was very flat.

"How did you convince your mother-in-law?" Liu Tianxian was very curious about how her mother convinced Xu Liyun.

At this time, Fang Hong brought two chairs and asked the mother and daughter to sit down and chat, and also brought them a glass of water.

Liu Xiaoli took the cup and took a sip. She had been traveling all the way here without a rest and was a little tired. She put her bag next to the chair and gestured, "You sit down too."

So the family sat together and chatted, and Liu Tianxian was very interested.

"I didn't say anything. I just said that if she left, there would be no one to look after all the valuables in the house, and no one would take care of the dogs and cats. Xixi is a celebrity, and it's not appropriate for too many people to know that she is pregnant. It only needs to be known among our family members to avoid being misled by public opinion." Liu Xiaoli explained.

"So my mother-in-law agreed." Liu Tianxian said.

"Yes, it's not that complicated. Your mother-in-law is easily persuaded. It's still possible to convince her. It just takes a little more effort." Liu Xiaoli also tried to persuade her for several hours.

When Xu Liyun heard that her mother-in-law was going, she felt relieved. Indeed, there was nothing she could do if she went alone.

"That's right!" Liu Tianxian nodded.

She just took her mother-in-law's feelings into consideration and didn't try to persuade her much, fearing that her mother-in-law would be unhappy, so she agreed reluctantly.

But Liu Xiaoli had no such concerns and said whatever she wanted to say.

Because of their different identities, the effects and words spoken will be different, just like Fang Hong can say whatever he wants to his mother, mother and son are mother and son after all.

Liu Tianxian can say whatever she wants to her mother, mother and daughter are mother and daughter after all.

When the two of them face each other's mother, they will be much more respectful and have a certain degree of awe in their hearts.

"Do you have any reaction now?" Liu Xiaoli reached out and stroked her daughter's belly.

"Sometimes I feel nauseous, but I can get through it if I bear with it," said Liu Tianxian.

"Has it just begun?" Liu Xiaoli asked again.

"It was just the beginning, and there weren't any such symptoms before." Liu Tianxian said.

Liu Xiaoli raised her head, silently calculated the days, and asked, "You haven't slept together, right?"

"Of course we can sleep in the same room if we don't sleep in different rooms." Liu Tianxian was very surprised.

"Don't you know that you can't have sex in the first few months of pregnancy?" Liu Xiaoli hit her daughter's leg. It was really worrying, just because of the relationship between men and women.

He also looked at Fang Hong, which made people worry.

"Do I have to sleep alone when I'm pregnant?" Liu Tianxian seemed unhappy. She was used to being affectionate with her man.

How lonely she would be without her man.

"You kid, be patient."

"No, no, we just slept together, we didn't do that." Fang Hong explained.

It was obvious that Liu Tianxian had misunderstood. Her mother-in-law must have meant not to have sex.

"Didn't do it?" Liu Xiaoli confirmed.

"I haven't done anything during this period. I've been filming and don't have much time." Fang Hong said.

"That's good." Liu Xiaoli was scared to death, thinking that these two people still didn't know how to restrain themselves.

"I thought you didn't want us to sleep together." Liu Tianxian also understood the meaning.

I couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly, "Haha"!

"Your mother is such a conservative person that she doesn't let you sleep together. It's because the fetus is unstable in the early stages of pregnancy and cannot be stimulated. Do you understand?" Liu Xiaoli taught her daughter.

"I understand, I understand." Liu Tianxian patted her mother's shoulder, still smiling mischievously.

"When you are free, take some time to visit the hospital here," said Liu Xiaoli.

"I'll make an appointment." Fang Hong agreed.

Liu Tianxian didn't say anything. She had just used a pregnancy test stick to test it before and hadn't gone to the hospital for a specific check-up. The check-up showed that she was fine.

In fact, the crew did have a doctor, but that doctor was only there to deal with emergencies and there was no professional medical equipment.

The next scene to be filmed is about Liu Tianxian's daily life on Mars, that is, after he has finished planting potatoes.

He also has to consider other things, because the service life of equipment and things on Mars is based on a 31-day mission duration, so she needs to maintain some equipment.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to last for 4 years.

So she has to regularly maintain the oxygenator, water circulation, solar panels, etc.

Liu Tianxian had lived on Mars for about two months, and the potatoes she planted grew into seedlings.

The seedling is of course a small grass, and it is also a real-life photo.

As long as she has potatoes and can keep planting them, she can theoretically retire on Mars.

At this time, the Earth did not know that she was alive, and the space agency even held a funeral for her. But as time went on, the space agency discovered that objects on Mars showed signs of having been moved.

There were signs that the rover and the communication dish cover had been moved, and the solar panels were previously covered with sand and dust and had been cleaned.

These are obviously man-made, which makes the space agency, that is, Chen Daoming, the director of the Mars mission, suspect that the protagonist is still alive.

But that was the story filmed by Wen Muye.

Liu Tianxian here has solved the problem of survival and now he has to think about how to go home.

And the Mars expedition four years later landed in a crater 4 kilometers away. She now has two rovers at her disposal.

But the rover's range on a full charge is only 35 kilometers.

That is to say, even if she put the two batteries together, it would only be 70 kilometers.

This is a problem. Another problem is that it takes at least fifty days to reach the destination, and Mars is very cold at night, ranging from -73℃ to -139℃.

So she also had to solve the heating problem. If she didn't solve the heating problem, she would definitely freeze to death.

The play was filmed step by step, and Fang Hong would still explain the play to Liu Tianxian from time to time. There were no dangerous action scenes.

The stand-in named Zeng Yi seemed to have nothing to do, but the crew still paid her a salary every day and provided her with food and accommodation.

800 yuan a day, just sitting there doing nothing every day and still supporting her, seems not bad.

Her job is a stunt double, and she has to do dangerous actions, but they are not very dangerous or high-risk, and there are not many scenes, so this is the price. If it was too high-risk, the price would be even higher, possibly thousands a day.

Liu Xiaoli did not disturb them from filming, but just took care of her daughter's daily life as usual.

It didn't arouse any suspicion or anything, I thought it was normal.

Three days later, Fang Hong made an appointment at the local Corps Hospital, so he took Liu Xiaoli, Liu Tianxian and the other two there in a low-key manner.

The crew members didn't know what they were doing, they just said they were having business negotiations, and the producer and assistant director didn't ask what it was about. How could they ask about other people's business negotiations? Endorsement activities and the like had nothing to do with the crew.

Moreover, the crew had to adjust the scene, and the plot to be filmed was to establish contact with the earth, so Liu Tianxian was not needed for the time being.

There was also an explosion scene to be shot, and a stunt double was needed.

The protagonist went to the pressure chamber to pressurize it as usual, but this time a violent explosion occurred and the entire pressure chamber was blown away.

Because the pressure chamber is designed to meet 31 days of living on Mars, the protagonist has already far exceeded the safe range.

The pressure chamber is used to simulate the earth's pressure and is equipped with an oxygen production system. If this thing is blown away, the huge pressure difference between the inside and the outside will be huge.

The potatoes would be exposed to the low-pressure environment of Mars and would instantly vaporize.

This scene is a turning point and requires a big change in the setting, so the crew needs to rearrange it. They can shoot the explosion scene first and let a stand-in do it, so there is no need for Liu Tianxian.

While the crew was working as usual, Liu Tianxian wore a mask and underwent a gynecological examination, blood test and B-ultrasound in the hospital.

To avoid leakage, the doctor was a female doctor specially invited from Beijing, and she only used the department and equipment of the Corps Hospital.

Liu Tianxian was still a little uncomfortable because that kind of gynecological examination used a very embarrassing posture and went deep inside.
"Relax, this is very important." The female doctor's voice was gentle and reassuring.

However, Liu Tianxian still seemed very nervous.

Liu Xiaoli was waiting outside; Fang Hong naturally explained the situation to the dean here, paid the fees, and moved the file to a private hospital in Beijing without leaving this hospital.

This is to keep it confidential and not leave Liu Tianxian's file and pregnancy information in the local area. The filming here will be completed in about a month, and we will go back soon.

After this inspection, you can go back and check again.

The blood and B-ultrasound tests that followed were mostly normal, and only involved blood draws and abdominal X-rays.

Liu Tianxian exposed her abdomen, and the B-ultrasound probe moved back and forth on her abdomen, which felt cold. However, as she watched the four-dimensional black-and-white animation, it seemed that the embryonic form of a life was being born in her belly, and she couldn't help but feel maternal love.

Fang Hong and Liu Xiaoli were also watching, their eyes fixed on the small screen, staring intently.

"Okay, there's no problem, you're very healthy. Don't do strenuous exercise when you go back. Get more rest and get enough sleep. Eat a light diet and eat small meals frequently." The doctor put away his equipment.

Fang Hong helped Liu Tianxian up from the bed and asked, "Doctor, can I ask if it's a boy or a girl?"

"It can't be seen at the moment. We have to wait a few months. But even if we can see it, I can't tell you. There are regulations." said the doctor.

The country does not allow medical gender identification.

Liu Tianxian straightened her clothes and said, "Why are you so anxious to know whether it's a boy or a girl?"

"I'm just curious." Fang Hong said.

"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, it's all fine. Don't favor boys over girls," Liu Tianxian warned.

"What you said, how could I favor boys over girls? I was just asking out of curiosity." Fang Hong explained.

"That's the best." Liu Tianxian felt relieved.

She was afraid that her mother-in-law and Fang Hong favored boys over girls, and would change their attitude and do something if they saw that she was a girl, which would be bad.

Liu Xiaoli was listening beside him but didn't say anything.

"Excuse me, doctor."

The three of them said hello to the doctor and left, returning to the crew to continue filming. The whole process took less than half a day and was very low-key.

Liu Xiaoli had no intention of leaving and stayed on the crew to take care of her daughter.

Time passed quickly and soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, which happened to be the day when "Lost in Hong Kong" was released.

Since this is the third film in the "囧" series, its reputation has not collapsed, but Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang both withdrew from the film.

The reason, of course, was the uneven distribution of profits. Guangtou Xu even wanted to ask Fang Hongduo for money, but was rejected.

Even without Wang Baoqiang, this movie still grossed 1.99 million yuan on the first day, 2.46 million yuan on the second day, and 2.26 million yuan on the third day.

It broke 600 million in three days and was close to 700 million, which was so huge that people thought this movie had the potential to surpass "Monster Hunt" and "Gravity".

However, on the fourth day, the box office was halved to 90 million, and it became difficult to break 100 million, and the reputation also collapsed.

“It’s not funny and the level is not high. There are also a lot of vulgar jokes. Bao Beier’s performance is more annoying than Wang Baoqiang’s.”

"Lost in Hong Kong" is a complete flop... zero laughs throughout the entire film!"

"It's lowbrow and not worth wasting your time. This crap director is not worth wasting your time on."

"The three views are problematic. Lost in Hong Kong is actually about the embarrassing things that a menopausal man encounters in pursuit of his first love. It's a movie made to make money, and it's quite vulgar. Bao Beier is simply a more noisy and annoying Wang Baoqiang!"

The audience was full of curses, saying that the movie was low-level and was just a money-making effort, and that Bao Beier's acting skills were not on the same level as Wang Baoqiang's.

The media also reported that the film's reputation collapsed.

"Lost in Hong Kong" had a huge box office, but its reputation was bleak!"

"Bao Beier is the biggest failure in Lost in Hong Kong. Xu Guangtou: We shouldn't have used him!"

"Lost in Hong Kong" was badly criticized, but Xu Guangtou should be happy that the box office was booming."

There are all kinds of reports in the media, and most of them are blaming Bao Beier for ruining the movie and saying that the reputation of "Lost in Hong Kong" is poor.

However, in response to the public opinion, Xu Guangtou said: "When I look at it from the perspective of an audience, I see many problems, but film is the art of regret."

The word of mouth for this movie wasn't good before the National Day, but the box office is still strong and it's very famous.

Next is the National Day period, which has many films competing, including "Charlotte's Troubles", "The Demons of Babel", and "Saving Mr. Wu".

"Charlotte's Troubles" did not receive much publicity because there were no hot spots or gimmicks. It was just a comedy movie, leaving it to the audience to discover for themselves.

All good movies are like this, they have the advantage of being recommended by the audience spontaneously. That's why this movie is so famous this year while other movies have been forgotten.

It means that the audience has the vision to discover gold.

The latter two films invested more in publicity, with "Legend of the Demons 1326: The Phantom Flame" exceeding million on the first day; while "Saving Mr. Wu" only had million.

It's not even as good as "Charlotte's Troubles" with 2317 million.

It seems that although King Liu is very famous, he really can't carry the box office, and I don't know where all his fans have taken the money.

They just say they support him but don't take any action.

This made King Liu very depressed, so he had no choice but to make "The Martian" well and leave it to fate whether he could make a comeback.

Just when domestic films were booming in the film market and overwhelming the Western trend, a major capital event quietly took place in the entertainment industry.

Huayi couldn't help but acquire 7.56% of the equity of Dongyang Haohan Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. for 70 million yuan.

This company includes economic contracts of artists such as Li Chen, Dabaobei, Feng Shaofeng, Zheng Kai, Du Chun, and Chen He.

These are all popular stars nowadays.

The bet agreement is that Huayi will earn 6 million this year, and the profit will increase by a percentage every year, so the total net profit in five years will be million.

This move caused Huayi’s market value to soar from more than 40 billion to more than 50 billion, and it is still rising.

At this time, "Running Man" issued a statement that Da Hei Niu will not be a permanent guest in the fourth season of "Running Man", and Sha Yi will be the permanent guest.

This statement caused Huayi's originally thriving stock market to plummet. You have to know that Da Hei Niu became famous thanks to this variety show and he is very dependent on it.

If there was no such variety show, his commercial value would be greatly reduced, and this variety show belongs to Yutu.

Zheng Kai and Chen Chichi also serve as permanent guests in this variety show, and they are the core members of the bet against Huayi.

But Fang Hong did not touch these two people, he just brought up the old news about Chen Chichi's cheating.

This sudden change, inexplicable scandal and scandal caused Huayi's stock price to drop from 50 billion to 40 billion again.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the principal had taken action.

If you want to complete the gambling contract, it depends on whether the principal agrees. If those stars fail to complete the gambling, Huayi will face losses, and those stars will also suffer heavy losses.

You have to know that Huayi borrowed all this money, and it is also possible that it was a bet with some consortium.

Otherwise where would so much cash come from?

If the bet fails, those stars will have to pay back Huayi’s money, which will lead to a series of consequences.
