Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 722

The practice room is spacious, with one wall covered by a huge mirror and the floor is made of cork, which is very flexible and has a wooden pattern.

Fang Hong sat cross-legged casually next to Liu Tianxian.

He said: "Your posture doesn't seem to be standard!"

"Why is it not standard? It's standard, okay? You don't understand. Do you know how to do the splits?" Liu Tianxian maintained the original posture.

"Although I can't do the splits, I can appreciate that your slit is not pressed down." Fang Hong lowered his head and gestured.

Liu Tianxian looked down and saw a large gap at the base of her split thighs.

This is caused by not pressing it down thoroughly to fit the floor.

"I see that other people can suppress this gap when doing splits." Fang Hong said again.

"This is very difficult. I can't suppress it. I've practiced for a long time but I still can't suppress it." Liu Tianxian was also a little distressed.

"How about I help you!" Fang Hong stood up, walked behind her, and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Be gentle, don't make me do the splits." Liu Tianxian looked up and said.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. When you kick someone, you can split yourself into two splits, but I won't." Fang Hong put his hands on her shoulders.

Now she has fully recovered for almost two months and has no problem exercising.

"What do you mean?" Liu Tianxian asked.

"It's meaningless." Fang Hong said.

"I remember now. Are you laughing at me?" Liu Tianxian remembered that when he was filming "The Legend of the Hongmen Feast" a few years ago, this man ran over and got drenched by the rain.

Because of something, she wanted to kick the man and accidentally did the splits, which was quite painful at the time.

She forgot what happened specifically, but she remembered clearly that she was wearing women's clothes, and the photo was still in her mobile phone.

At this time Fang Hong exerted a little force with his hands, and Liu Tianxian groaned, feeling her body being pressed down a little, and there was a sense of pain.

The seam at the bottom is still there and is not so easily pressed down.

Fang Hong pressed down hard again, and Liu Tianxian screamed "ah" and felt the pressure.

"Don't shout like that. If someone hears us, they'll wonder what we're doing." Fang Hong said.

"It hurts, what's wrong with screaming?" Liu Tianxian said.

Fang Hong exerted force on his hands again, and Liu Tianxian kept moaning “Ah…”. The sound was very charming, and people who didn’t know what they were doing would wonder what they were doing.

The sound was faintly heard by Liu Xiaoli, who was taking care of her baby on the second floor downstairs.

"These two really can't control themselves right after they recover." She held the child and shrugged, "Baby, let's go downstairs and play."

The baby is sucking on the bottle, looking very happy.

"Stop it, it hurts so much." Liu Tianxian signaled him to stop.

Fang Hong stopped doing it and sat cross-legged next to her again. He looked at her and sighed, "You've recovered well. It looks like my good days are coming to an end!"

"Yes, it's hard for both of us." Liu Tianxian of course knew what he meant. She stretched out her long straight legs and straightened her back.

She flicked her long hair, exuding her unique charm, and gave the man next to her a provocative look.

Fang Hong smiled, crawled forward and slowly approached;

Liu Tianxian retracted her long legs and leaned back slightly. With her posture, her chest was raised. She put her hand on the back of his neck so that she could maintain balance.

"She doesn't look like a mother at all. She looks more like a young girl." Fang Hong moved closer and placed his hands on her tender face.

"Are you kidding me?" Liu Tianxian stared at the man. They were very close to each other, and she gently sniffed the scent emanating from the man.

"No, I'm not trying to fool you. She's really beautiful, as beautiful as Diao Chan." Fang Hong said.

"The sow is as beautiful as Diao Chan, right?" Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

"You said it, I didn't say it." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian grabbed his neck and bit his mouth, saying, "Has it been a long time since you've used your skills?"

"Yes, it's been a long time, it's time to unsheathe." Fang Hong kissed her rosy lips.

Slowly, Liu Tianxian lay flat on the wooden floor, and the two kissed each other, as if they were tasting the delicious food.

Since the pregnancy, the two of them haven't been in such a gentle state for a long time.

The two of them kissed more and more passionately. Liu Tianxian reached her hand into his shirt and pulled it up.

Fang Hong stood up and tried to untie his belt, but because he was in a hurry, he failed to get it right after several attempts.

Seeing this, Liu Tianxian slapped his hand away and said, "It's really useless!"

"Who said I'm useless? It's just that I've been rusted and corroded because I haven't used it for a long time." He was still in the mood to joke.

"Let me see how rusty it is." Liu Tianxian was still very skilled. She quickly unbuttoned his pants and pulled them down.

After giving birth, her movements became much rougher.

But she hadn't done it for a long time, and due to the psychological changes after childbirth, she also needed to release some energy.

"Is it right here?" Fang Hong said.

"It only takes a few minutes to get back to the room." Liu Tianxian said.

"You underestimate me too much. I'm going to let you know what a steel torrent is." Fang Hong's words made Liu Tianxian laugh so hard that she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"See? It's a prehistoric beast. I'm scared myself. I'll scare you to death!"

"Hahaha!"

八月，正好是第一批暑期档满一个月的日子，《赏金猎人》票房2.13亿；《魔轮》787万；《大鱼海棠》5.73亿；《寒战2》6.76亿；《摇滚藏獒》3954万；《惊天大逆转》7846万。

Other movies are in the millions or hundreds of thousands.

Except for "Big Fish and Begonia", all these movies have entered the settlement cycle, which means that as promised before, they will be settled within 15 days after one month of release.

Taking "The Bounty Hunter" as an example, after deducting the share from the theaters and the share from the distribution, the film company would have to pay about 70 million yuan.

Since there are many theaters showing the film, except for Yutu Cinemas, Dadi, and Hengdian, which have signed a 15-day payment repayment agreement, other theaters have not signed it.

Therefore, Tu Piaopiao needs to advance part of the money, and this part is also over 100 million yuan, after all, there are many cinemas and many movies.

In order to make ends meet, the films will be sold to financial institutions or banks at a 97% or 98% discount on the settlement amount, and the money will be returned to the bank once all the box office proceeds are received.

Two or three points is equivalent to the interest paid to the bank, because the accounts are clear, but the money cannot be returned for the time being and it will take some time.

Banks are also happy with this situation because they are making pure profit from interest.

In order to get a low discount, Fang Hong decided to talk to Uncle Liu Tianxian about this matter specifically. After all, if he got a low discount, he could earn more money.

And this way the benefits will not be wasted on outsiders!
"This is not a big risk, you can do it, the discount is 98% off, we can just take 2 points as interest." My uncle had no objection and agreed to lend money to Tu Piaopiao.

After all, it is money borrowed with the knowledge of how much money will be repaid, so there is basically no risk.

If this matter were given to others, they would be willing to take over.

"This is a long-term project, and may require long-term loans from you. Of course, we will continue to borrow new money to repay old debts." Fang Hong said.

"Then we need to sign an agreement. The payment can only be made for a short period of time, only three months," said my uncle.

"No problem." Fang Hong agreed. After all, it was only 2 points, and one hundred million would only earn about two million in interest, and this money could be used for their turnover.

This is equivalent to allowing them to use it first and then giving it back when it expires. Of course, the main part is still collateralized by the known box office revenue of the movie.

In this way, a large sum of money can be loaned out to pay back those films, and the theaters that don't have the money for 15 days of box office revenue will also receive it gradually, and this money can be used first.

Producers such as Tianma, Huayi, and Hairun all received box office revenue from the previous month in a short period of time.

This spread quickly in the circle.

"The principal really did what he said and returned the money to them." Wang Da and Wang Xiao were very happy.

It was the first time for them to receive such a quick payment cycle. Other small producers like Jimei and Hairun also received corresponding box office payments.

Although there are not many, I am still very satisfied that it is so fast. It is countless times faster than before.

This money can then be used for reinvestment.

This made the distribution model of Tu Piaopiao recognized by major film and television producers.

Guangguang is depressed. Even if their movie, Big Fish and Begonia, makes hundreds of millions at the box office, they won't get the money for the time being and have to wait for several months, which is equivalent to dragging it out.

After all, they didn't follow the principal's plan.

Such rapid cash collection will be conducive to the further prosperity of the film and television market. The faster the cycle, the faster the investment.

The principal's policy will benefit many people.

The August summer season is still underway and can be said to be more prosperous than the previous month.

This month, not only will "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" be released, a film produced by Yutu, but also Huayi's "Mr. Six"; there are also other blockbusters such as "Line Walker".

Each film is staggered by about a week. It can be said that the film and television market has never been so harmonious.

This is due to the fact that Fang Hong has increasingly gained control over the film and television industry. Only by controlling the film and television industry can he maintain this industry.

And these movies are still the same, they are not shown in Wanda Cinemas. Among the more than 100 movies in the entire summer season, only a dozen are shown in Wanda. Wanda is basically in a situation where there are no movies to show throughout the summer season.

There are only a dozen or so movies that are shown over and over again, but the box office is not high, and the ones that were released earlier are not worth watching.

However, the rent increase that Mr. Wang had been expecting for a long time did not happen. Not only did it not happen, there was not even any movement at all.

Hengda announced a rent increase for several of its cinemas. The brands of these cinemas were not disclosed, but some people have noticed that they are three Yutu cinemas.

They are Chongqing Zhongyu Plaza, Nanning International Center and Wuhan Century Plaza, all of which are horizontal large-scale operations.

There are no other cinemas under Yutu.

After they announced the price increase, the Yutu Cinema simply closed down, which caused a sharp drop in the flow of people to their mall.

Wanda Cinema is still open, but there are not many films available. People will still go to take a look, even if there is nothing they like, but they will still watch other ones if they are too lazy to go.

The Yutu Cinema, where Hengda University is located, closed its doors directly, and the Tuti ticket also showed it as closed.

There was also a "Temporarily Closed" sign at the door!

Not only did it close down, Yutu took the initiative to take action and directly sued Hengda, saying that they had maliciously increased the rent and cut off water and electricity, which violated the contract.

A spokesperson for Hengda University said: "The rent increase is reasonable. The water and electricity cuts did not happen. They are completely fictitious. We will also take legal action."

Before they could even stop working, the store closed and the employees were sent home to rest.

The two sides are ready to sue each other, and the fight has completely started.

As there was public opinion about this matter, Boss Xu also knew about the situation and specifically inquired about it.

"Kick him away, kick him away quickly. I can't stand it anymore." Boss Xu was also very angry after hearing about the situation. He had never seen such an arrogant person who actually came to him.

"Boss Xu, if you kick them out, no theater chain will move in." The person who spoke was the CEO who was in the meeting with Fang Hong.

"How could there be none? There are so many cinema chains, wouldn't they all move in?" Boss Xu didn't believe it at all.

"You're right. We've negotiated with other cinema chains, but now that Yutu Cinema has withdrawn, no other cinema dares to move in." The man was also depressed.

What the principal said really came true. After the principal withdrew, no one dared to take over the position, except Wanda of course.

But Wanda is its own brand and does not set up shop in other commercial streets.

"There is such a thing?" Boss Xu was surprised and had no idea what was going on.

People enjoy watching the dance troupe every day, so why would they pay attention to a troublemaker in the entertainment industry? Jack Ma talked to him about it and he agreed without hesitation.

Currently, only Hengda is going to increase the rent, while other real estate service providers such as Vanke and China Resources have not made any moves.

This made Mr. Wang very puzzled. Not only him, but many theater chains were also puzzled. Logically speaking, August was the time for rent increases. Now that Hengda had made the move, other operators should have also made the move.

Especially Vanke, there is no movement at all. More than one hundred shopping streets and all cinemas are operating as usual, and there is no news of rent increase.

Whenever Mr. Wang asked, people said that the price could not be raised and that it was impossible to raise it. That was just one or two sentences, which made him very depressed.

After discussing with Jack Ma, I found out that the principal publicly stated at the meeting that if anyone raised the rent, he would close down his business, and that was all hundreds of cinemas.

If he doesn't make money, no one can make money.

"The principal is really tough. He can scare those real estate developers like this." Mr. Wang didn't know what to say.

Those real estate developers are too weak, not even as good as him.

"It's a losing strategy for both sides. I didn't expect him to do that."

Jack Ma did not expect that the principal would scare the real estate service providers by closing all their stores.

This not only hurts yourself, but also the theaters.

He added: "But they have no conflict of interest with the principal, so they won't offend the principal for anyone. It won't do them any good."

It can be understood that the principal escaped a disaster in this matter.

"Then let's launch a copyright war." Mr. Wang said.

"Let's start from Hollywood," Jack Ma said.

Just after the two men discussed it, Warner's "Friends", "Harry Potter", "The Big Bang Theory" and so on;

Disney's Marvel series, Star Wars series, as well as "Frozen" and "Zootopia";

Universal's "Fast and Furious" series, including DreamWorks' "Kung Fu Panda" and "How to Train Your Dragon".

There are also Paramount's "Transformers" and "The Godfather"; and Sony's "Spider-Man" series.

The domestic copyright agents of the TV series and movies produced by the six major Hollywood production companies have launched copyright protection actions.

More than two hundred lawsuits have been filed against Bilibili and TikTok at one time, and the number is still increasing.

They are all suing secondary creations, that is, creative videos of commentary and analysis of short video plots, and suing these two platforms for infringement.

This move will not cause much harm to TikTok. After all, it is a music short video. It doesn’t matter whether there are secondary creative commentaries or not. Taking it off the shelves will not have much impact.

But it is still very harmful to the small broken station, which has a large number of Hollywood movies, film and television commentary videos, and secondary creation videos.

These secondary film and television commentaries have a large number of regular users who specifically like to watch this type of film and television commentary.

Now these agents have launched hundreds of copyright lawsuits at one time, which is really uncomfortable for the small broken station. They must respond and be prepared to compensate others for their economic losses.

It doesn’t mean that Fang Hong can get away with it just because he has a good relationship with Warner and Universal. They have agents in China for the copyright of their films and TV series.
