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

Chapter 137: A Different Kind of Urban Drama!

At this moment, the Great Hall of the People was bustling with people, all talking to each other.

In this setting, Han Sanping was the absolute center of attention, surrounded by film and television company bosses.

As Tian Xiaole led the main cast into the venue, they instantly attracted everyone's attention, scrutinizing the entire crew.

"Director Tian is here!"

"Director Tian, ​​I wish you great box office success."

At a glance, there were many familiar faces, as well as filmmakers with whom I had little interaction.

Faced with a constant stream of greetings, Tian Xiaole smiled and nodded politely, leading the main cast and crew to the stage.

In the crowd, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes shone as she looked at Tian Xiaole, but there was also a hint of resentment in them.

She usually takes a long time to get a reply to her messages, and sometimes she disappears after only one or two sentences.

The host, Xie Nan, was arranged by Enlight Media.

Tian Xiaole, Jiang Wen, Fan Binbin and more than a dozen others sat in a line on the stage.

At this time, the seating arrangement below the stage was also strictly hierarchical.

The first row was occupied by officials like Han Sanping, as well as bosses of major film and television companies and renowned directors.

The second row is where the A-list stars are: Li Xuejian, Li Binbin, Hu Jun...

The third row features top-tier TV drama stars like Liu Yifei and Shu Chang.

"The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and I feel a little bad that so many colleagues and media reporters are attending the film premiere. Please feel free to eat and drink as much as you like later."

Before the interview began, Tian Xiaole cracked a joke, which lightened the atmosphere considerably.

A reporter asked a pointed question.

"Director Tian, ​​regarding the so-called 'Spring Festival film season,' is it certain that anyone will go to the cinema during the Spring Festival?"

"Entertainment options during the Lunar New Year are scarce, and watching movies will inevitably become a trend in the future. The release of 'The Thieves' at this time is intended to cultivate audiences to watch movies during the Spring Festival."

Many of the renowned directors below wore thoughtful expressions.

"Director Tian, ​​your box office expectation is 3 million. Where does your confidence come from?"

"You'll understand when you watch the video."

The topic that can't be avoided is definitely the Pacific Rim.

Besides asking about the startup time, the most pressing question was about the special effects.

At the premiere of "The Thief," Tian Xiaole didn't answer questions about anything other than the movie, but instead gave people candy instead.

Some reporters just love to stir up trouble.

"Let's interview Fan Binbin. Do you think it's better to film the mainland movie 'The Thieves' or the Hong Kong movie 'Rob-B-Hood'?"

This is a very sensitive question; a poor answer could offend both sides.

Everyone thought Fan Binbin would evade the issue and brush it off, but she was surprisingly direct.

"First of all, we're all making Chinese-language films, so there's no such thing as good or bad. If I really had to choose, I would definitely choose 'The Thieves'!"

"You're saying that because today is the premiere of 'The Thief,' right?"

"No, in Jackie Chan's movies, he is always the main character, and the audience buys tickets because of him."

"But 'The Thief' is different; I have more opportunities to showcase my talents, and the female characters in the film aren't just pretty faces."

Upon hearing this, the actresses all nodded in agreement.

Tian Xiaole was quite surprised; Fan Binbin's emotional intelligence was really high!
First, he praised Jackie Chan, saying he had a great influence, and then he praised the film "The Thief".

The reporter then interviewed the next person.

"I think the movie 'The Thieves' will break box office records."

Jiang Wen didn't understand what humility meant.

···
The film's official premiere featured no unnecessary performances; it let the content speak for itself.

The large screen lowered, and the film began to play.

The bombardment of publicity for "The Thieves" has generated a lot of anticipation for the movie, with many people glued to the big screen.

Fan Binbin feels that this year is her lucky year. Although she has acted in several dramas, this is the one she values ​​the most.

One is Tian Xiaole's "The Thieves" and the other is "Rob-B-Hood".

She has access to film resources in both mainland China and Taiwan, making her unique among mainland actresses.

Compared to that, the thief is what she values ​​most, and judging from the trailer alone, her performance is outstanding.

The movie opens with Fan Binbin and Mei Ting pretending to be mother and daughter, seducing the curator, Ge You.

When the casual jacket is taken off, it reveals a sexy bodysuit, fully showing off Fan Binbin's figure without any deliberate close-up shots.

Many actresses give Tian Xiaole a thumbs up for respecting women.

As the plot unfolds, Wang Baoqiang's comedic talent contrasts sharply with his honest and simple appearance.

The scene where he was groped by a gay man, in particular, made many people in the audience burst into laughter.

Many of the special effects shots are quite impressive.

The fight scenes between Fan Binbin and Jun Ji-hyun are also a hot topic.

It was even more exciting than the trailer showed, and the action was even better.

A murmur began to ripple through the crowd, with many directors exchanging ideas.

"So this is how urban films can be made?" "Is this the Hollywood style?"

Old-school directors like Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei, and Wang Xiaoshuai either filmed things in alleyways or rural areas.

They can't pull off these high-tech skyscrapers; even Zhang Yimou couldn't.

In their minds, only Hollywood can make this kind of film.

The actresses' eyes were shining; this kind of action scene that focuses on the female lead is rare in both mainland China and Hong Kong.

Many people believe that Tian Xiaole's film has a real chance of box office success, just as he said.

Han Sanping was the happiest person in the audience; judging from the audience's reaction, the movie was a sure thing.

At least their reputation is secure!

When the two-hour movie ended, enthusiastic applause rang out, and many people were still a little reluctant to leave.

Still reeling from the movie, the thrilling heist, the high intelligence of everyone involved, even the villains weren't stupid...

There was only one person, who kept a cold face from beginning to end.

Li Binbin thought to himself, "Why isn't I the female lead? She's much better at action scenes."

As for sexiness, you can still manage to squeeze it out.

Inside the venue, many actresses shared the same thought as Li Binbin: Why wasn't the female lead their own?

When it comes to taking off clothes, she's definitely better than Fan Binbin.

"Brother Xiao Le is amazing, he made such a great movie."

Jing Tian, ​​as an actress in the "Pacific Rim" film crew, sat with Liu Yifei and the others, her big eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Yes, I believe the Pacific Rim will be even better."

Liu Yifei inexplicably believed it.

···
Banquet time.

Tian Xiaole was instantly surrounded by people congratulating her on the film's great success and praising it as a wonderful movie.

In no time, he had dozens of business cards in his pocket.

After finally managing to deal with it, my face was almost frozen from smiling.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

They all spoke auspicious words, and he greeted them with a smile.

Jing Tian brought over a glass of juice, Liu Yifei behind her brought milk, and Shu Chang brought champagne.

"Brother Xiao Le, the movie was so well made, I hope we..."

Jing Tian suddenly stopped mid-sentence, rummaging through her handbag.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​your face..."

Liu Yifei pointed to her face as a reminder.

What happened to your face?

Tian Xiaole reached out to wipe it, and found there was a lipstick stain.

I was surrounded by a group of actresses just now, and I don't know who took the opportunity to attack me.

"Hey Xiao Le, here's a tissue."

"Thank you."

Tian Xiaole took the tissue and wiped her face; the bright red color was easy to wipe off.

···
The premiere is over.

The news online is all about the premiere of "The Thieves".

"【The Thieves】A must-see, a blockbuster urban action film!"

"The first Sino-Korean co-production film, with a star-studded cast, is absolutely fantastic..."

"Fan Binbin showed off his sexy figure and his super cool action scenes were impressive."

"Tang Yan plays a high-IQ hacker, which is..."

"Jiang Wen naturally exudes an air of authority..."

The premiere was a great success, with news reports from the media and headlines bought by the actors.

In any case, it can effectively stimulate the audience's interest in watching the movie.

The next day, the main cast and crew departed for South Korea, where the premiere of "The Thieves" was to be held.

Tian Xiaole took this film very seriously. During its screening there, he and the host participated in all the events arranged by CJ.

"Isn't the movie about to be released? Where are they going?"

"Are you crazy? South Korea has also invested, they'll definitely go there to promote it."

The group appeared at the airport in a large procession, naturally attracting the attention of reporters.

"Director Tian, ​​are you going to South Korea for promotional activities?"

Without stopping, Tian Xiaole answered the reporter's question:

"Yes, we're going there for the movie premiere."
