Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 120: Set Visit and Premiere!

Jing Tian lay on her side in bed, her arm protruding from under the covers was fair and smooth, her bare skin was fair and rosy, full of collagen, and she looked at her tightly gripped phone with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

She waited for Tian Xiaole's message, but received no reply.

"He probably didn't see it."

Jing Tian could only console herself with this thought. She sighed, stuffed her phone under her pillow, and turned over to sleep.

···
The next day, Tian Xiaole received a notification from Lao Tian that he was being picked up at the airport, and only then did she see Jing Tian's message.

I immediately called her back and kindly offered some suggestions.

"If there is a suitable role for you, we will consider working with you. If you really want to pursue a career as an actor, spend more time improving your acting skills."

Soon, Jing Tian called.

"Brother Xiao Le, I will work hard to improve myself, and I hope that one day I can act in your play."

"Yes, keep it up. Going to a professional school is a good choice. Acting skills are the foundation of an actor's career; otherwise, it's hard to go far."

Tian Xiaole encouraged him, offering advice out of kindness.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Le. I will try my best."

Hearing Jing Tian's clear, soft yet firm words, Tian Xiaole smiled.

Around 2 p.m., Tian Xiaole drove his car toward the Capital Airport.

Lao Tian's flight arrived on time.

The timing was perfect; just as Tian Xiaole arrived, the announcement that the flight had landed began.

A short while later, Lao Tian and his assistant emerged from the airport, surrounded by reporters.

"Director Tian, ​​having won the Golden Lion Award, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"Thank you to the organizing committee, and thank you to all the staff of the production team."

"Could you tell me how much the film rights were sold for?"

“In addition to domestic countries and regions, the total amount is US$870 million.”

Old Tian maintained a smile throughout, looking much more energetic, and patiently answered the reporter's questions.

Will [Hidden in the Dust] participate in the upcoming Golden Rooster Awards?

"I received the invitation a while ago, but since I'm already involved in Venice, I won't go and join the crowd."

Old Tian saw Tian Xiaole's license plate and quickly walked over.

The assistant spread his arms to block the reporter from asking further questions.

"Congratulations, you've finally achieved your wish."

Tian Xiaole said to Lao Tian, ​​who was getting on the bus.

He looked tired, but his eyes were bright and alert, and he seemed much more energetic.

"You provided the script, so you deserve half the credit."

Seeing that Lao Tian had fastened his seatbelt, Tian Xiaole stepped on the gas and drove towards home.

I haven't even gotten home yet, and it's already on the news online.

"Director Tian Zhuangzhuang returned from winning an award, and Director Xiao Tian personally greeted him at the airport."

"The copyright fee for 'Hidden in the Dust' is US$870 million."

"..."

···
When Tian Xiaole and Lao Tian arrived home, they saw the old lady waiting outside the door.

"Grandma, why did you come out?"

Tian Xiaole quickly stepped forward and took the old lady's arm.

Old Tian also came up, supporting his other arm:

"Thank you for your trouble."

"What are you doing? I'm not so old that I can't walk."

The old lady broke free from their hands and spoke in a strong, resonant voice.

News spread online, and everyone learned that Lao Tian had returned to China.

Let him rest for a day, and he can't have any peace and quiet anymore; phone calls and text messages keep coming in.

They are all old friends and classmates.

There were also official congratulations from schools, directors' associations, and other organizations.

A symposium is definitely in order.

Of course, there were also invitations from the Golden Rooster Awards. Having already won the Golden Lion, it would be a bit unfair to participate in the selection process again.

At this time, Tian Xiaole had already landed at Fushan, where Chen Zhixi came to pick him up.

In the car, Chen Zhixi took the initiative to talk about the progress of the film shooting.

"Director Tian, ​​the filming is going very fast. I estimate that we will finish filming here in about a week, and then we will move to Shanghai to film some scenes."

"Hong Kong Island has had its glory days, and it was known as the Hollywood of the East. As long as the filming quality is good, let's hurry up and finish it."

When Tian Xiaole and Chen Zhixi arrived at the film set, they were filming the scene where Master Liao challenges the martial arts school.

Zhao Wenzhuo's Wing Chun is not so petty; it exudes a powerful blend of strength and gentleness.

After filming a scene, he noticed Tian Xiaole outside the crowd.

Director Yip Wai-sin walked over and, speaking in broken Mandarin, said with a hearty laugh:
"Director Tian, ​​welcome to give us your guidance."

"I just came to take a look and won't interfere with your normal filming."

Upon hearing this, Ye Weixin's smile widened.

I'm afraid this young director, who has both awards and box office success, will start interfering.

"Director Tian, ​​it's been a long time since I've encountered such a good script. This movie gave me a lot of fun."

Zhao Wenzhuo has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks very upright.

"Director Tian~~"

Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Liying came up to call for help.

Judging from how familiar they seemed, they had become good friends after spending time together.

"Are you settling in well on set?"

Tian Xiaole asked Zhao Liying first, since she was an employee of his company.

"Sister Xi took good care of me, and I learned a lot from her."

Zhao Liying's eyes were full of smiles, showing that she truly loves being an actress.

"Yes, I'll try my best to improve myself."

Tian Xiaole offered a few words of encouragement before turning her gaze to Gao Yuanyuan.

It seems they had some complaints about not paying attention to her, the female lead, right away.

"Is your first time acting in a kung fu movie going well?"

"I didn't do any action scenes, so there's nothing I need to adjust to."

"How about I add two more matches for you? The wife of a martial arts master must know a bit of martial arts."

After Tian Xiaole finished speaking, she pretended to walk towards the director.

Gao Yuanyuan caught up from behind and hurriedly said:

"No need. You're just adding drama to my life. People will misunderstand our relationship."

Tian Xiaole stopped and looked at her: "I'm a big director and I'm not afraid of misunderstandings, so what are you afraid of? But you're right about one thing. I just told the director that I won't interfere with the filming."

"Oh, so you were just teasing me?"

Gao Yuanyuan stared at Tian Xiaole with her big eyes.

To be honest, being stared at by Gao Yuanyuan with those coquettish eyes actually made me feel guilty.

Especially her round face, which is not aggressive at all.

She can be sweet or a mature, sophisticated woman.

The older you get, the more charming you become.

Her intellectual and gentle temperament is even more charming.

Gao Yuanyuan, at 26, is not yet at her peak.

Tian Xiaole changed the subject, saying, "If you've read the script, you should know that Zhang Yongcheng is a lady from a respectable family, with a gentle yet resilient personality, which contrasts sharply with Ip Man's quiet and active nature. If we force action scenes into the script, we'll have to drastically change it."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded, then suddenly said curiously, "I really want to crack open your head and see how you can write both 'Ip Man' and 'The Coffin in the Mountain'."

"Once you have a wealth of life experience, or have read enough books, you will be able to come up with interesting stories."

Tian Xiaole looked up at the sky, shielding his eyes from the sunlight, giving off a sense of vicissitude.

Gao Yuanyuan, curious, also looked up and exclaimed:

"If only I could turn into a bird, I could fly freely in the sky, free from any worldly constraints, and I wouldn't have to care about what others think."

"Is your thinking influenced by the Book of Anxiety?"

You've read this book too?

Gao Yuanyuan looked over curiously, not expecting Tian Xiaole to read such a wide variety of books. The values ​​conveyed in this book were not well-received by the world.

“My heart is slightly larger than the entire universe, but I’m tired of the chaste and depressing days, and I don’t have the courage to live a decadent life. It’s too much of a pointless whine, I don’t like it,” Tian Xiaole said, shaking her head.

To put it simply: she wants to be a shameless slut, but hasn't made up her mind yet.

This is definitely a favorite article for artsy young women.

When it came to reading, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up:

"I've read quite a few books, and I can experience all kinds of lives through novels. I often immerse myself in the characters and understand their diverse lifestyles..."

When it comes to books, Gao Yuanyuan talks non-stop, which shows that she has read quite a lot and is also a very strong experiential reader.

Tian Xiaole listened to her share her reading experiences, occasionally nodding in agreement, but remained silent.

Gao Yuanyuan was getting a little thirsty from talking, so she stopped and looked at Tian Xiaole, wanting to hear his opinion.

Tian Xiaole wasn't about to let her have her way; she knew when to stop and left a hook behind.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Gao Yuanyuan was somewhat reluctant to leave, but could only nod.

She knew that the man in front of her was talented.

Or rather, the entire film industry knows.

Otherwise, a film like "The Coffin in the Mountain" wouldn't have been made.

Compared to Tian Xiaole, Zhang Yadong isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes.

The only pity is that I haven't heard that Tian Xiaole has a girlfriend; he's still single, and his interest isn't strong enough.

It couldn't satisfy her rebellious heart and the twisted feeling of being scorned by others.

Tian Xiaole had no idea what Gao Yuanyuan was thinking, and even if she did, she would just chuckle.

It's normal for artsy young women to have this kind of unhealthy mentality.

This group can be categorized as a special type of mental patient.
[The Thieves] had just received its film license when Han Sanping announced that the movie would be released during the Lunar New Year.

They directly announced the slogan for the Spring Festival film season.

Immediately following, news reports emerged about "family-friendly movie viewing."

There aren't many entries, but they've appeared on major portal websites one after another.

With the release date still a while away, we'll use subtle marketing to give audiences a sense of what the Spring Festival film season is like.

···
That evening, the film crew stayed at their hotel.

Gao Yuanyuan returned to her room, her mind preoccupied with thoughts. She felt that she and Tian Xiaole had clicked on a brainwave connection.

She enjoys the feeling of the two of them chatting.

I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

They finally found the phone and sent a text message to Tian Xiaole.

Ten minutes passed, and there was no reply.

Half an hour passed, and there was still no movement.

Gao Yuanyuan placed a pillow under her buttocks, and she did not grow nails on her middle and index fingers.

On the other side, Tian Xiaole ignored the message and decided to keep it hanging for now.

Artistic young women are all crazy; he was afraid that Gao Yuanyuan wouldn't be able to resist and would want to have a child with him or something.

The next day, Tian Xiaole said goodbye to everyone.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect Tian Xiaole to leave so quickly; she wanted to talk more about literature.

Chen Zhixi saw them off, and Zhao Liying was also leaving with them; she had already finished filming a few scenes.

"Just leave it here. Keep a close eye on the film crew."

Tian Xiaole took the backpack that Chen Zhixi had brought from her hands; it was the latter who wanted to show that she had taken it voluntarily.

"Okay, Director Tian. Liying, let's meet again when we get back to Beijing."

Chen Zhixi waved and didn't wait at the airport any longer; there were still more than twenty minutes before takeoff.

Tian Xiaole looked at Zhao Liying, who was standing next to him like a quail, and said to her:

"Huayi has a movie that's about to start filming. I've asked for a role. It has more than ten scenes. Xiao Yang will arrange for you to report for duty when you get back."

"Thank you, boss. I will do my best."

Zhao Liying nodded obediently, though somewhat reserved.

The current situation is as awkward as running into your boss in an elevator, especially since it's just the two of you.

Tian Xiaole suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No, I didn't."

Zhao Liying shook her head, like a rattle-drum.

"Then you don't need to be so reserved, it makes me feel like I'm going to eat people."

Tian Xiaole roughly guessed that Zhao Liying might lack confidence and even feel a bit inferior because of her rural background.

"Did you know how many votes you received on the day you won the championship?"

Zhao Liying didn't understand why she was suddenly asked this, but she still accurately recited the numbers she had memorized:

"I received a total of 37837462 votes."

“You were chosen by millions of people and signed with Xiaole Pictures. So many people envy you. You need to have confidence in yourself, understand?”

"I understand, Director Tian."

Zhao Liying nodded emphatically, addressing Director Tian the same way as everyone else, without the distance she felt as a boss.

···
After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, we landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Tian Xiaole was carrying a backpack.

On the contrary, Zhao Liying was pushing her own luggage, two large suitcases.

Despite their small size, the two were spotted by sharp-eyed reporters.

"Director Tian, ​​where did you and the artists signed to your company come from?"

The moment the reporters saw Tian Xiaole and Zhao Liying appear together, their gossip instincts were ignited.

Before, they ate candy for 12 hours, but when they couldn't find any evidence of the two of them being together, they could still refuse to admit it. Now they can't refute it anymore.

This was Zhao Liying's first time experiencing such a scene, and she was somewhat timid, avoiding the camera.

Her reaction gave the reporter the impression that there might be something going on between the two of them.

"I just came back from visiting the set of [Ip Man]. Zhao Liying has finished filming her scenes and is immediately joining the cast of [A Battle of Wits]. We just happened to arrive at the same time."

Tian Xiaole answered slowly and deliberately.

"Director Tian, ​​why did you choose to release 'The Thieves' during the Spring Festival? Everyone is celebrating the New Year. Aren't you worried that there won't be any movie theaters?"

"The Spring Festival is a time for family reunion. Choosing to release a film at this time is a new way of consumption, and it is also very suitable for the whole family to watch the movie together."

"How is the filming progress of 【Ip Man】? When will it be released?"

"Progress is good; we'll wait for the release date announcement."

···
After getting into the car picked up by her assistant, Zhao Liying took a detour to the apartment that the company rented for the artists because she had a lot of luggage.

"Take a two-day break first, then report back."

As Zhao Liying got out of the car, Tian Xiaole said to her.

Meanwhile, the reporter skirted the rules in pursuit of traffic.

"Director Tian Xiaole visited the set of 'Ip Man,' and Zhao Liying, an artist from the company, stayed by his side the whole time."

Zhao Liying seamlessly joins the cast of "Mo Gong"!

Director Tian Xiaole is confident in "The Thieves" and says it will be released during the Spring Festival...

···
While on the set of "Ip Man," Gao Yuanyuan saw the news online and made wild guesses.

"So he was too busy to reply to messages. He must have been with Xiaoying that night..."

Her fighting spirit was ignited.

Tian Xiaole, who is single, is talented. She admires him and enjoys talking to him, as if she has found a kindred spirit.

Tian Xiaole, who has a lover or girlfriend, is more attractive to her.

She enjoys the feeling of taking men away from other women.

It can satisfy the inner sense of distortion.

20 number.

The premiere of "The Myth" was held at the Great Hall of the People.

The last event held here was the grand "Heroes" event.

As a film invested in by China Film Group and Yinghuang Film Group, no one dares to disrespect it.

The attendees included actors, celebrities, singers, and sports figures from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

There were even more fans and moviegoers at the scene, requiring 500 security personnel to maintain order, which temporarily paralyzed traffic on Chang'an Avenue.

In the morning, a large number of stars gathered and walked the red carpet.

The female celebrities all dressed up to outshine each other.

There were quite a few reporters at the scene, constantly pressing the shutter button.

Huayi Brothers, Enlight Media... brought their own artists to show their support.

When Tian Xiaole arrived, it was almost the end of the red carpet event, thankfully she didn't steal the spotlight.

Guided by a beautiful woman in a fitted cheongsam, they walked onto the red carpet and left their autographs.

Behind them, Jackie Chan, dressed in a silver Tang suit, held the hand of the female lead Kim Hee-sun, and appeared with the main cast.

Before entering the hall, Tian Xiaole could hear the crew interviewing her.

Cheng Long taught Jin Xi to use Mandarin to greet the reporters on site.

"Hello everyone, I am Kim Hee-sun."

Her voice was soft and sweet.

Tian Xiaole could only sigh, "My older brother really eats well!"

Inside the Great Hall, people were already bustling about, chatting in small groups of two or three.

As soon as Tian Xiaole stepped into the hall, she attracted everyone's attention.

As a renowned director and film company owner, he is the target of many female celebrities.

"Xiao Le, over here."

Han Sanping waved from a distance, surrounded by a group of film and television company bosses.

Tian Xiaole walked over and noticed that there were many actors and celebrities today, but not many big-name directors.

"Director Tian, ​​is the filming of 'Ip Man' going smoothly?" Yang Shoucheng asked.

"Not bad, hopefully it can be released during the May Day holiday next year."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian, who were standing nearby, looked on with envy, as neither of them had invested in this film.

"Director Xiao Le, Berna is also quite capable. If you have any projects, you can consider us."

Yu Dong had never been able to collaborate with Tian Xiaole, but this time he found an opportunity and didn't care about being in public.

Tian Xiaole remained calm and didn't respond, which naturally made others anxious.

“Xiao Le’s projects have always had investors from a few of us, so I don’t think there’s any need to add any more.”

"I agree with what Mr. Wang said."

For once, Wang Changtian agreed with Wang Zhonglei's words.

Yu Dong glanced at Han Sanping, wanting him to speak up for him, but the latter didn't even look at him.

"The premiere is about to begin, let's take our seats."

Yang Shoucheng spoke at the opportune moment, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

On stage, the main creators are being interviewed.

Kim Hee-sun, dressed in a black dress, with fair skin, leaned half of her body against Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan, wearing round-framed glasses, spoke eloquently. At one point, he became so excited that he spontaneously took Kim Hee-sun's hand.

Tang Jili is Jackie Chan's puppet director. On set, he has virtually no say and listens to his older brother in everything.

He then became the director who collaborated most with Jackie Chan, and several of his films did well at the box office.

The interview focused entirely on Jackie Chan, discussing his romantic scenes with Kim Hee-sun, and praising his professionalism was an essential part of the interview.

As for the other female star, I heard she's a porn star, but she wasn't there.

This aroused the curiosity of many reporters.

The box office results are always an unavoidable topic at premieres.
