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

Chapter 132 Brother Xiao Le is a very nice person!

Inside a hotel.

Li Binbin had just finished showering and was still wearing his bathrobe. He quickly dried his hair and turned on his computer.

She is currently filming "The Knot," in which she plays the second female lead, still a supporting role.

Upon learning that the trailer for "The Thieves" had been released, I couldn't wait to watch it after finishing a day of filming.

This is Tian Xiaole's first big-budget commercial film, and also the film starring his arch-rival Fan Binbin.

She wanted to see from the trailer whether her former friend was playing a decorative role, like in other directors' films.

Deep down, Li Binbin hoped that Tian Xiaole's film would suffer a double failure in both critical acclaim and box office, like Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

If the movie is a success, she will lose her chance to compete for the title of Huayi's leading lady.

When Fan Binbin, suspended by wires and wearing a sexy black bodysuit, strolled along the exterior of a skyscraper, with the help of his team, he thrillingly sneaked into the building, his movements swift and decisive.

Li Binbin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

This is what a leading lady should be like, not just a decorative vase in a play.

In the trailer, characters appear one after another.

As the team leader, Jiang Wen is not only highly skilled but also very intelligent, adept at using wisdom to solve problems.

Tang Yan plays Percy, a hacker in the team with black-rimmed glasses and long, straight black hair.

Her hacking skills are indispensable before every infiltration mission.

The quick and agile computer operation skills are impressive.

Wang Baoqiang's character, Arno, appears honest and simple on the outside, but is actually the team's source of joy, responsible for all the laughs in the show.

On the Korean side, Lee Jung-jae's character is not only very sassy, ​​but also very intelligent; he's not just a mindless villain who only knows how to use force.

Jun Ji-han's appearance was as captivating as ever, her aura was not suppressed just because she was a villain.

The three-minute trailer features many actors who only appear briefly, yet they still leave a lasting impression.

The most eye-catching was Fan Binbin, followed by Jun Ji-han.

Li Binbin felt envious, realizing that her wish was about to be dashed.

This film breaks the stereotype that mainland urban dramas only focus on romance, and features a lot of threatening and exciting action scenes.

···
The trailer was also released in South Korea, with CJ handling the marketing and distribution, and it will be released simultaneously in China.

Popular South Korean actor Jang Dong-gun starred in "The Promise," but the film was poorly received upon its release in South Korea, with negative audience reviews.

Many people are deeply disappointed with Chinese commercial directors after seeing the trailer for "The Thieves".

In particular, the brilliant performance of their "My Sassy Girl" actress, Jun Ji-han, has made many viewers look forward to this movie.

Jun Ji-han is also watching the trailer and is quite satisfied with her role. She is very glad that the director kept her highlight scenes.

Often, when a supporting actor's performance is too stunning and overshadows the female lead, the director will cut their scenes.

Although the lead actress's performance was also outstanding, she, as a supporting actress, was just as good as anyone else under Tian Xiaole's lens.

That night involved both coercion and enticement from tycoons, as well as her proactive efforts to please the director and secure more screen time.

As Tian Xiaole's reputation in Hollywood grows, it seems that taking the initiative won't hurt him.

···
Fox sent an email to Tian Xiaole announcing the completion of filming for "Night at the Museum," officially wrapping up production and moving on to post-production special effects.

"Let's inform the investors."

"Okay, boss."

The news was announced at noon, and China Film Group took the lead in releasing it in the afternoon.

"The Hollywood fantasy film 'Night at the Museum,' in which China Film Group, Xiaole Pictures, Wanda, Shanghai Film Group, and Huayi Brothers participated, has officially wrapped up filming."

"China Film Group will continue to play a leading role, actively promote Chinese culture overseas, invest in big-budget productions, and support low-budget productions without reservation."

Upon seeing the news report, Tian Xiaole knew it must have been Han Sanping's doing.

【Pacific Rim】Training Camp.

"Sister Sisi, you have to help me. If Director Tian really fires me, no one will dare to hire me for movies in the future."

Shu Chang looked pitiful with tears streaming down her face.

She saw the report about Tian Xiaole's interview at the airport and was worried about being fired, but no one had come to inform her in the past two days, so she was constantly on edge.

"What exactly happened? Why are you being sued?"

Liu Yifei handed her a tissue, soothing her sobbing back like an older sister.

"I never expected it to turn out like this... Waaah..."

Shu Chang spoke while crying.

"My contract with my previous agency expired, and I didn't plan to renew it. Without my knowledge, they signed me to three acting projects at the same time, so I..."

Liu Yifei pieced together what she'd heard, albeit intermittently. Her former agency had signed a contract under Shu Chang's name, and she had initially intended to honor the contract. However, the production company hadn't even paid her the first installment of her salary, so she started taking on multiple roles, participating in endorsement activities, and disappearing under various pretexts…

It's worth mentioning that these shady moves were all suggested by her new agent, who is also her uncle.

"You, you pig-headed idiot... what on earth were you thinking?"

Liu Yifei thought for a long time before finally blurting out a curse word.

Jing Tian, ​​who had overheard the whole thing, quietly handed him a tissue.

Seeing Shu Chang crying her eyes out, she, who had grown up in luxury, felt a pang of sympathy for her.

"Sister Shuchang, how about I ask Brother Xiaole for you?"

"Tian Tian, ​​thank you. Is Director Tian really willing to help me?"

Shu Chang grasped Jing Tian's hand as if it were a lifeline.

"If Senior Brother Tian is willing to help, it should be able to be resolved, but..."

Liu Yifei really wanted to ask why someone who wasn't related to her was helping her, but seeing her best friend so heartbroken, she held back.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao Le is a very nice guy. I'll ask him for you."

Jing Tian took out her phone, found Tian Xiaole's number, and dialed it directly.

Shu Chang stopped crying and stared intently, holding her breath; this was her last hope. Meanwhile, on the other side…

Tian Xiaole wasn't idle either; she watched the trailer with Tang Yan, who had just returned from filming "Mo Gong".

"Brother Le, you filmed Fan Binbin and Quan Zhixian so well, and there were so many highlight action scenes, but I didn't have any outstanding shots."

Tang Yan pouted, slightly out of breath, as a mischievous hand wandered around.

"There are three more trailers, and you'll all have some great scenes in them."

The atmosphere had gotten just right, so they kissed.

Just as war seemed imminent, a cell phone rang, ruining the atmosphere.

"Brother Le, don't worry about it."

Tang Yan responded enthusiastically, clinging to Tian Xiaole like an octopus.

"Don't rush, there's plenty of time later."

Tian Xiaole calmed down the agitated Tang Yan, explaining that since it was a private phone call, it might be something urgent.

Seeing the name in the notes, I answered the call:
"Tian Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

"Brother Xiao Le, it's like this... could you please help Sister Shu Chang?"

"Tian Tian, ​​who told you to say that?"

Tian Xiaole asked curiously, "If Shu Chang actively asked Jing Tian for help and took advantage of her sympathy, then there's no room for discussion; he should be fired from the crew immediately."

"It was Sister Shuchang who came to find Sister Qianqian. I heard the whole story, so I came to find you."

Jing Tian spoke softer and softer, realizing she had been a bit presumptuous; she just wanted to make more friends.

"Tian Tian, ​​you can't just listen to one side of the story, or you'll easily be deceived. You need to learn to discern..."

Tian Xiaole was admonishing Jing Tian, ​​saying that she shouldn't just help people out of enthusiasm, or she might get betrayed without even realizing it.

"Brother Xiao Le, I..."

Tian Xiaole heard faint sobbing and thought it was because she had spoken too harshly. Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort, she heard Liu Yifei's voice.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​Changchang isn't that kind of person. She was scammed by her former company..."

Oh, it was Shu Chang who was crying. It's alright now.

"Alright, let me understand the whole story before we talk about it."

"Brother Xiao Le, you're so kind!"

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​you are truly righteous!"

"Thank you, Director Tian!"

Tian Xiaole was in a bind, but before she could offer to help, she tried to use sweet talk to corrupt him.

Tang Yan, nestled in his arms, said in a coy, manipulative tone, "Brother Xiao Le, you're awesome!"

"What's so great about me?" Tian Xiaole asked jokingly.

"It's wonderful everywhere!" Tang Yan said, her eyes glazed over.

Tian Xiaole swept the messy documents on the desk aside and carried the person up to him.

Every vibration of this finely wood desk is a test of its quality.

···
After the two finished fighting, Tian Xiaole opened the window to let the smells circulate.

Tang Yan, still feeling the aftereffects of her new experience, had a flushed face.

Judging from her appearance, she won't recover anytime soon.

With his legs propped up on the desk, that's such a difficult move, anyone would need to take a break.

Tian Xiaole asked Chen Zhixi to find out the details of Shu Chang's lawsuit. The latter glanced at Tang Yan lying on the chair, knowing full well what was going on, but pretended not to see her.

"Boss, what do you think we should do about the rumors circulating about you online?"

Chen Zhixi handed over the news report she had seen online.

Tian Xiaole was quite curious: what rumors could he possibly spread?

After seeing the news online, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Yahoo! website wanted to imitate Leyu Search Star and hold an online talent show. They sent him a business invitation before, but I don't know where the news came from, saying that he refused because they couldn't agree on the price.

Just today, Yahoo announced the signing of Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Jizhong, and the gossip news about them immediately went viral.

After all, Tian Xiaole attended Leyu Search Star but rejected Yayu Search Star, which most likely means they couldn't agree on the price.

It's obvious that Jack Ma felt the buzz wasn't enough, so he deliberately revealed that he had invited Tian Xiaole, but she declined.

As for what the media speculates about, that's none of his business.

Jack Ma's shady dealings annoyed Tian Xiaole. If he was using Jack Ma to generate buzz, then Tian Xiaole would just add fuel to the fire.

"I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work."

After seeing Chen Zhixi off, Tian Xiaole logged into her Leyu.com account and started typing on the keyboard. Soon, a post was generated.

Tang Yan also came over to take a look.

"It's not good to send it out like this."

"Nothing bad."

Tian Xiaole clicked send.

"I've been busy promoting [Thieves' Alliance] lately, and my refusal of Yahoo's invitation wasn't due to a disagreement over price. It's simply because with 'LeYu Search Star' as the pioneer, I don't believe any imitator can surpass it. Imitation without innovation is, at best, garbage!"

···
Upon seeing the post, Jack Ma, whose face resembled that of an alien, lost his usual smile.

His original intention was to use the fame of the invited director, but he didn't expect Tian Xiaole to react so strongly.

Not only did he criticize the show as garbage, but he also insulted several of the contracted directors.

Jack Ma called in the project manager and first changed the unlucky name "Yahoo Search Star" to something else, and also changed the audition method from being the same as "Leyu Search Star".

After giving these instructions, he also remembered this young man, Tian Xiaole.
