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

Chapter 146 Gao Yuanyuan Yearns for Hong Kong Island!

A seat by the floor-to-ceiling window in a coffee shop.

Gao Yuanyuan stared at Tian Xiaole with her big eyes, a mixture of resentment and coquettishness in her gaze.

To be honest, being stared at like that was a bit too much for Tian Xiaole.

Her round face and big eyes make her look harmless and even evoke a desire to protect her.

Shoulder-length short hair adds a touch of intellect and maturity.

Tian Xiaole has seen all kinds of beautiful women, and Gao Yuanyuan gives people the feeling that her appearance is ever-changing.

"You asked me to meet here, aren't you afraid of being photographed by paparazzi?"

"I wanted to be photographed, that's why I chose this place!"

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Tian Xiaole guiltily.

Tian Xiaole was truly terrified; he couldn't fathom what this woman was thinking.

"Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood as trying to ride on the director's coattails?"

"If others can find a partner, why can't I?"

Gao Yuanyuan, with a slightly aggrieved tone, continued before Tian Xiaole could ask:
"Director Tang Jili promised me a role in 'Rob-B-Hood,' but he went back on his word."

A while ago, he sent me a message asking me to star in his new film, "A Perfect Match".

Lin Xinru was the first choice for the role in this drama.

She found out the news and, relying on her connection with Director Tang, said she'd make me pay.

"So, I've become your shield?"

Tian Xiaole spoke seriously, realizing that he had been used by Gao Yuanyuan, who was using his position to make a big deal out of him.

Lin Xinru mostly films in mainland China, so anyone wanting to target her in Hong Kong would have to consider Tian Xiaole's revenge.

Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head, pretending to be very aggrieved, and knew how to make good use of her advantages.

"Brother Tian, ​​you're not angry with me, are you? I wanted to tell you sooner, but you kept ignoring me."

Gao Yuanyuan took Tian Xiaole's hand and looked at him with her big eyes, as if he were a scumbag who was about to abandon her.

"You'd better keep your little schemes to yourself. I don't like women who act on their own initiative."

Tian Xiaole pulled her hand back, gave her a warning, and then sternly admonished her again:

"This is the first and last time."

Gao Yuanyuan panicked. She hadn't expected Tian Xiaole to turn on her so suddenly. Her tried-and-true act of innocence failed her for the first time, and she pleaded:
"Brother Le, I was wrong, please forgive me this once."

In public, she tugged at Tian Xiaole's clothes; who knows what kind of rumors might spread.

Tian Xiaole scrutinized Gao Yuanyuan carefully.

It's said that she has a calm and unassuming personality and doesn't care much about fame. It seems that apart from her beauty, she hasn't been as famous as other female celebrities.

She only has two labels: beauty and artistic youth!
"You really want to get into the Hong Kong entertainment circle?"

Tian Xiaole frowned and asked.

Tang Jili and Ruby Lin had been photographed by paparazzi before. Although they both denied the relationship, people in the industry knew about their connection.

The first choice for the female lead in the drama "A Perfect Match" was Ruby Lin. The TV series version starring her was the number one in viewership ratings in its time slot in mainland China.

With Tang Jili serving as the producer of this film, Ruby Lin seems like the best choice.

And then there's the movie "Rob-B-Hood," where the two met at the premiere. Why did he choose Gao Yuanyuan at first glance?

It's nothing more than matters between men and women, and she just happens to be suitable for the role.

Tian Xiaole felt quite unsuccessful. Despite employing so many mainland actors, there were still many actors and stars who aspired to work in Hong Kong. This was a filter of the times, and breaking through this filter wouldn't happen overnight.

It took Hong Kong filmmakers decades to gain significant influence in the Asian market.

Apart from Tian Xiaole, other mainland directors, in order to consider the overseas market, still prefer Hong Kong actors as their lead actors.

Having "The Thieves" as a model isn't enough; once "Pacific Rim" comes out, it will teach mainland directors another lesson.

"I was the one who asked you to be the female lead in 'Rob-B-Hood,' otherwise you would still be in the role. I gave you the lead role in 'Ip Man,' which is a way of making up for it."

When Gao Yuanyuan finally learned why she had lost the lead role, she thought it was a chance to enter the Hong Kong entertainment circle, but she never expected to receive a notice that she had been replaced.

However, Tang Jili contacted her again recently, intending to cast her in the lead role of "A Match Made in Heaven," hoping to give her an opportunity to enter the Hong Kong entertainment industry. In order to avoid being targeted by Ruby Lin, she wanted to bring in Tin Siu-lok as her backer.

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan remained silent, Tian Xiaole finally reminded her.

“The Hong Kong entertainment circle is quite exclusive. Don’t think that just because you’ve acted in one or two movies, you can fit in with them.”

Many filmmakers from Hong Kong Island have moved north, where they have more opportunities and start filming far more movies each year than those on the mainland.

But if you're a girl from mainland China and you want to compete for food, the other actors won't agree.

Li Ming, Wang Fei, and others went to Hong Kong Island to develop their careers, where they were ridiculed and looked down upon, but fortunately, they made a name for themselves through their hard work and abilities.

A group of actors also went during the middle period.

Like Wu Jing's performance in "Sha Po Lang," he was using props and faking the fight.

But the others were really hitting.

After the fight, they'll tell you that the props used are real, in order to create a realistic sense of impact.

Zhao Wenzhuo was doing well in his early years, with Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui looking after him, but after their deaths, he was still bullied.

···
Paparazzi really are everywhere.

The next day, in addition to reports on the real-time box office of "The Thief", the newspapers also featured photos of Tian Xiaole and Gao Yuanyuan meeting at a coffee shop.

"【The Thieves】has been in theaters for 25 days, with a daily box office of 1.1 million and a total box office of 341 million. It is still 20 million short of the box office of 【Titans】!"

"Director Tian Xiaole and actress Gao Yuanyuan chatted for three hours, and their actions were intimate."

Was Gao Yuanyuan's casting as the female lead in "Ip Man" predetermined?

Before long, Tian Xiaole received a lot of text messages and QQ messages, all inquiring about the relationship between the two.

The news photo, a candid shot, perfectly captured the moment Gao Yuanyuan grabbed Tian Xiaole's hand.

Seeing that all the text messages were gossip, Tian Xiaole was too lazy to explain.

He's 26 years old, and the only gossip he's ever had is about eating candy for 12 hours straight.

If he doesn't have any scandals, people will probably start to wonder if he's indifferent to women.

Upon seeing the news article below, Tian Xiaole was quite surprised. Had she really come to terms with it?
Gao Yuanyuan denies starring in "A Perfect Match"!

···
When Tian Xiaole arrived at the company, he asked Chen Zhixi to go and check out the housing prices in the surrounding area first.

"Boss, do we need to move to a new office location?"

"Yes, as the company grows, renting office space is no longer cost-effective, so we'll buy one ourselves."

"By the way, we may be expanding into the production of TV dramas in the future. We need a professional producer for this business. Keep an eye out for talent in this field."

As the business expands, more talent will be needed, and Chen Zhixi will continue to be responsible for film production.

It's good that she knows about this beforehand, so she can be mentally prepared.

This year's Shanghai International Film Festival invited Tian Xiaole, but he declined to participate in the selection, citing that "The Thief" was not suitable for the film festival.
