Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 96 Like a Bad Girl
In the afternoon, Liu Tianxian stayed here for dinner.

The happiest person at this meal was Xu Liyun. Eating with her son was boring and too monotonous. She felt much happier eating with Liu Tianxian and talked a lot more.

After dinner, Fang Hong accompanied Liu Tianxian for a walk to help digest the food.

"Take me to see your study." Liu Tianxian suggested.

"I don't have a study, I just have a bedroom, which can be used as a study, an office, and a sleeping room," said Fang Hong.

"You think it's simple, then take a look at it."

The two went upstairs and entered a bedroom. The bedroom was quite large, with just a bed, a small wardrobe and a desk. It was indeed very simple.

There wasn't even a bookshelf, and Liu Tianxian still said she wanted to see what book he was reading.

"The books I read are all on the table." Fang Hong seemed to know what she was thinking.

Liu Tianxian looked over and saw that the pile of books was not very high, just a few. She walked over and picked up the top one.

"The Art of War!"

Liu Tianxian said, and looked at Fang Hong behind him: "No wonder you like to plot and scheme, you just like to read this kind of book!"

"If I liked scheming and plotting, I would have gotten you long ago." Fang Hong approached and said.

"What can I do? I'm in trouble!"

When Liu Tianxian is in a good mood, she is very casual, but it also depends on who she is with!
"In the entertainment industry, difficult women are generally very chaste." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian chuckled, turned around and tapped him on the head with a book: "You are really good at talking."

She put the book down and picked up another one, this one was "A Change of Mind", and turned the page and said, "How many girls' feelings have you deceived?"

"If I can't even fool you, who else can I fool?" Fang Hong said.

"What you said means I'm easy to fool!" Liu Tianxian just wanted to embarrass him.

Just now you said she was difficult to deal with, and now you say she is easy to cheat!
"That depends on who is cheating. If both parties are in love and one of them is willing to be cheated, for example, if you cheat on me, then I am willing." Fang Hong said.

"It's good to be aware, keep it up."

Liu Tianxian turned around and raised the book in her hand: "Consider this book as a gift from you to me."

"I haven't finished reading it yet!" Fang Hong said.

"When I finish reading it, I'll share the same with you."

Liu Tianxian looked at the man in front of her: "But don't contact me again during this period of time."

"Why?" Fang Hong was puzzled.

The progress is pretty good, what's going on now?

"I want to go out and relax. I don't want to be disturbed."

After Liu Tianxian finished speaking, she walked towards the door.

She had been subjected to cyberbullying during this period, and she felt that she still cared about it, so she wanted to go out for a walk and train her mind.

When you come back, face life again!
Fang Hong turned his head and looked at her back without saying anything. She wanted to be away from the world alone, and no one could stop her.

The insights they discussed were just a kind of guidance and comfort. Liu Tianxian himself still had to become stronger.

Going downstairs, Liu Tianxian greeted Xu Liyun: "Auntie, I'm going back first."

"Okay, go slowly and let Xiaohong take you home." Xu Liyun said.

"No, I drove here myself."

Liu Tianxian waved to the little wolfdog and said, "Goodbye, little black man."

The little wolf and dog ignored her!

That day, Fang Hong was driving with Yu Xian.

Fang Hong saw Yu Xian lowering his head and looking very depressed, so he comforted him, "Don't be so depressed. From now on, you can call me brother. My mother is your mother. We are a family."

"Aren't you taking advantage of me?" Yu Xian said.

"I'm the principal of a school. There are so many people who want to be my son, but I don't want to be one. How could I take advantage of you?" Fang Hong was very domineering.

"How come you were banned if you're so awesome?" Yu first poked at his sore spot.

"Just wait and see. One day, all the actresses in the entertainment industry will call me godfather. You call me brother now, but just think about how many godnieces you will have in the future. It will be a great fortune for you." Fang Hong said as he drove.

In fact, he was just talking nonsense to lighten the atmosphere.

She has no family anymore, so she can’t be so depressed on New Year’s Day. She should be happy.

"What's the tone of this?"

Yu Xian was also amused by his words and his morale was boosted a lot. Driving is a common hobby among men.

"You can say whatever number you want." Fang Hong said.

"What about the United States? Can I still enjoy the taste of fucking my daughter? You said you would take me to pick up foreign girls."

After Yu Xian came back from Chongqing, his personality became more relaxed. He used to be quite introverted.

Now we can't stop talking about driving.

Just because I come into contact with so many people, and as a director I communicate with so many people every day, I have relaxed my personality a lot.

The main thing is that there is no enjoyment and I am always in a turmoil!
"It's easier over there. All you have to do is spend money. As long as you have money, you can enjoy the decadence of capitalism."

Fang Hong continued, "And you don't have to be morally condemned, because this kind of thing is very common over there, and it's taken for granted."

Yu Xian was quite envious of this: "But I just don't have the money."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, just make money. What you earn there are all US dollars. It's easier than making money in China." Fang Hong said.

According to his knowledge, it is indeed easy to make money there because the creative conditions there are relaxed.

Basically, any film that cannot be shot in China can be shot there.

As long as it doesn’t involve ideology, of course!
Besides, Fang Hong had no intention of playing with ideology. He just wanted to make money. As for patriotism, that was a responsibility he would shoulder when he had the ability. It was not something he should think about now!
The two chatted as the car soon arrived at the villa. Yu Xian looked at this high-end villa with his eyes wide open.

"Fuck, you've fallen to this point." Yu Xian was indeed a little jealous.

Not only does he drive a Porsche, he also lives in a big villa.

"This is rented for my mother to live in." Fang Hong did not hide it.

A Porsche is okay, it costs millions and is used for business, but a villa is a bit exaggerated.

A makeshift team and a big pot of rice, the most taboo is unfairness!
Just like Dongzi is enjoying a good life in the United States, but calling on his brothers at home to work hard, his brothers at home will also feel unbalanced.

"Is it true?" Yu Xian was a little unconvinced.

"Others may not know how much money I have made, but you do. How can I afford a villa?" Fang Hong asked back.

Yu Xian thought about it and realized that indeed they only received payment for "Those Years", but not for the others, and the money was reinvested.

Just the movie "So Young" cost tens of millions, and looking at this villa, it is worth more than tens of millions, probably hundreds of millions.

This is the capital city, a prosperous area!

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet our mother." Fang Hong put his arm around his shoulders and walked into the villa.

"Damn, you're taking advantage of me again." Yu Xian was indignant.

As soon as the two men entered the house, the little wolfhound rushed out and barked fiercely at Yu Xian.

Yu Xian was even less courageous than Liu Tianxian. When he saw the little wolf-dog, he ran out of the house.

"Heizi, shut up." Fang Hong pointed.

Sure enough, after being scolded by him, the little wolfdog shut up and stopped biting people.

"Fuck, why do you keep this thing at home!" Yu Xian was still frightened, and only felt relieved when he saw that it was a little wolfdog.

I didn't see it clearly just now, I just saw a black thing rushing out quickly. "You are a guard, but you are afraid of even a dog. Look at your lack of ability." Fang Hong looked contemptuous.

"Who said I was afraid?"

Yu Xian plucked up his courage and went into the house again, staring at the little wolf-dog. This time the little wolf-dog didn't bite him.

Xu Liyun heard the noise and came out to check the situation. Seeing that there were guests, she also warmly welcomed them: "Please come in, this dog doesn't bite."

I had just been bitten, so I didn't say this at first because the person who came was a kind woman.

"This is my mother, and this is Yu Xian." Fang Hong introduced.

Saying that I would find a mother for Yu Xian was just a joke.

"Happy New Year, Auntie!" Yu Xian said politely.

"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go make you something to eat." Xu Liyun seemed very enthusiastic towards her guests.

This made Yu Xian's cold heart feel a little bit of the warmth of home. She cooked for him and cleaned the house for him!

It's been a long time since anyone has been so nice to him. It would be nice to have a godmother.

Yu Xian lived in Fang Hong's house first. He had no place to stay before, so he stayed in a hotel.

After a new year, Fang Hong will send him to the United States.

Fang Hong was also going this time. He was afraid that Yu Xian would have difficulty getting started if he went there alone as he was unfamiliar with the place, so he went over to make arrangements for him.

The main thing is to get the starting stage smooth, and then everything else will be fine.

Yutu Company started working on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and Yu Xian continued to work on the unfinished post-production editing of "So Young".

He has been following the later stage for more than a month, and now that the later stage is almost finished, we can set off.

After the editing of this film is completed, Chen Zhixi will naturally take it to China Film to confirm the distribution matters.

During this time, Fang Hong instructed Chen Zhixi on what to do next. After all, she would be gone for an unknown number of months, so the company needed her to be in charge.

In addition, Meng Jun also needs to help look after the kids. As for other people, there is no need to notify them as they are not important.

In the days to come, Yutu only needs to shoot "Beijing Meets Seattle" step by step, and do the preliminary preparations for "Bad Genius".

When everything was ready, he came back.

Right now, Yutu is only enough to prepare and shoot one film, and that’s still a low-budget one, so it can’t shoot a film with a slightly larger investment.

If a big investment is made in a movie, it will seriously slow down the development of Yutu.

Because the funds and personnel were delayed, this delay lasted for several months!

So they could only wait until Fang Hong came back from the United States and set up the "blood transfusion station" before they could shoot the blockbuster movie.

As long as the United States continues to provide blood transfusions to Yutu, he will not be afraid and can work hard.

If you can afford it, you dare to gamble!
Of course, Chen Zhixi and Meng Jun didn’t know about this plan either.

The two only knew that Fang Hong was going to the United States to make a movie with Yu Xian. As for what it would be, or whether it would be a failure or a success, they had no idea.

Fang Hong has always had his own opinions and will not listen to other people's opinions.

Sometimes he even ignores Liu Tianxian’s opinions!

Only after everything was arranged properly and there was a steady flow of funds, did they understand Fang Hong's intentions and know what he relied on.

The director of the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle" has been confirmed to be Xue Xiaolu. She is an academic professor and no one can do anything to her unless Huayi doesn't want to continue to work there.

Huayi can only influence those who wear its shoes, that is, those who have fame and fortune. If the fame and fortune are thin, it cannot be restrained because they don't flatter you or rely on your resources for a living.

The female lead, Hao Lei, is about the same age as Zhang Songwen, which is just right.

Hao Lei comes from art films. Looking through her resume, she played roles in the Northeast circle on TV and the Shanghai circle in movies. She has nothing to do with those in the Beijing circle.

This girl is very straightforward. She doesn't care whether you ban her or not. She will just reply and accept the job if the script is suitable for her.

It was agreed that whoever gives the reply will be the heroine. Fang Hong keeps his word and is not picky!

The producer is still Chen Zhixi, the photographer is Liu Yin, and the art director is Li Anran. It's still the regular team.

Fang Hong is no longer serving as the supervisor, but only as the producer, and his title is still: Principal!

In a small conference room, Xue Xiaolu, Hao Lei, Zhang Songwen, Liu Yin, Li Anran and other main creative teams met together.

The scripts have also been distributed. This is the second revised version of the script. The third version is still to be revised because Xue Xiaolu is also involved in the writing.

It's called a meeting, but it's just a casual chat to get to know each other.

Fang Hong said to Hao Lei: "Thank you, Mr. Hao, for coming to perform in our play."

Hao Lei's figure was not as plump and feminine as it became later. She had not given birth to a child yet and was still quite thin.

"Honestly, is it because no one else is interested in your play that you came to me?" Hao Lei said bluntly with a pouty mouth.

But she had a smile on her face when she spoke, so people didn't get angry and thought she was joking.

"Yes!" Fang Hong admitted directly.

The staff behind the scenes found it a little hard to accept this statement. Isn't this looking down on them?

However, Fang Hong continued, "This proves that Mr. Hao has a good vision and knows that we have a good book and a good team."

"Hahaha!"

Hao Lei laughed so hard that his gums popped out: "That's very well said."

This statement not only praised her, but also praised the Yutu team, and also criticized the opponents for having no vision and no pattern.

The staff behind the scenes looked at each other, fortunately the principal did not lose his mind.

Xue Xiaolu also said: "When Xiao Jiao handed me the script, I was very interested because I wanted to write such a story. I didn't expect that someone had already written it and was willing to film it for me. It can be regarded as a dream come true."

She has short hair, a round face, and a kind temperament. Looking at her is like looking at a very friendly elementary school teacher.

"I have seen the movies directed by Teacher Xue. To be honest, the style of this script is very suitable for you to shoot. I feel at ease to let you shoot it." Fang Hong said.

He has no sense of shame about plagiarizing other people's works, and all the scripts that have not been published are his scripts.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s listed under your name or not, it’s his anyway.

Of course, he doesn’t put his name as the screenwriter anymore. Whoever participates in the work will be credited.

As a boss, it would be more beneficial to not snatch away the small profits from those below you, but to give up some profits and fame appropriately.

"Don't blame me if the box office isn't good." Xue Xiaolu joked.

"How can this be blamed? Our job is to present the story in the form of images. Whether it is good or not is up to the audience to judge." Fang Hong is very aware.

Of course, this also put pressure on Xue Xiaolu. Fang Hong did not say whether her filming was good or not, but let the audience say whether she was good or not.

"That's right." Xue Xiaolu said.

"Then thank you for your hard work and hope the filming goes smoothly."

Fang Hong chatted with them for a while, and the main creative team confirmed it this time. They just had to wait for the right time to choose a date to start filming.

This movie will not be shot abroad like the original version, but will be filmed in Beijing and Shanghai.

Shanghai has European and American style architectural backgrounds, and you can find suitable shooting locations by visiting. Going abroad is too troublesome and expensive.

Fang Hong went to the game department again. The game department just needed to develop the game step by step. His ideas and opinions had already been conveyed.

There are also notes, which were given to them. This game is just copying, which is not very difficult.

The difficulty lies in hero balance, program development, and recruiting people.

Time passed quickly and the Lantern Festival was over in a blink of an eye. Yu Xian stayed at Fang Hong's house for ten days to half a month.

During this period, Liu Tianxian said she would not contact Fang Hong and she would not contact Fang Hong, like a scumbag.
