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

Chapter 148: Ice Before Cod!

7 p.m., a private dining room.

Tian Xiaole received Li Binbin's invitation and initially wanted to refuse, but Li Xue also spoke up. After being invited repeatedly, it was not easy to refuse them all, so she reluctantly agreed.

If it's just Li Binbin, he's not interested, but if you have two sisters, then he won't be sleepy.

Once all the dishes were served, the three of them ate and chatted in a very pleasant atmosphere, without mentioning anything about the movie.

Half an hour later, the bottle of red wine was quickly emptied.

Li Xue asked her sister to open another bottle.

Li Binbin was a little confused; shouldn't this be something she, as the agent, should be doing?

Although I didn't understand, I didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing her older sister leave the private room, Li Xue, holding a wine glass, walked towards Tian Xiaole.

"Director Tian, ​​I respect you, and I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

"Yes, that's easy to arrange."

Tian Xiaole raised his glass.

Li Xue drank it all in one gulp.

She staggered and couldn't stand steadily, so Tian Xiaole reached out to support her.

If you can't drink it all, then drink less.

Tian Xiaole asked with concern, her hand never leaving her waist, as she pinched the soft flesh.

Li Xue immediately understood, and sat down in Tian Xiaole's lap:
"Director Tian, ​​my sister is very good at action scenes and her acting is also quite good. If she could act in your movie, you can use her however you want."

The tone was ambiguous and suggestive, as if it was implying something and an attempt to get closer. If it could directly provide an opportunity, that would be even better.

Tian Xiaole isn't someone new to the game; he doesn't make promises just because he says a few hints.

Looking down at the person in his arms, he asked teasingly:
"And what about you? How will you cooperate?"

Li Xue bit her lip, struggling internally, and finally made a decision:

"As long as Director Tian lets my sister star in Pacific Rim, I'm willing to cooperate."

The sisters' efforts to land the lead role in a 500 million yuan project were well worth it.

With the success of [Thief], more and more people are optimistic about this project.

Tian Xiaole hadn't expected the two sisters to have such big appetites, so she told Li Xue the truth:

"The cast for the Pacific Rim project will remain unchanged, and there are no suitable roles for your sister."

Upon hearing this, Li Xue pulled the mischievous hand out of her bosom, and when she touched it again, the woman reacted.

She didn't show disappointment; as long as she maintained a good personal relationship, even if this role didn't work out, there would be plenty of other opportunities.

They wouldn't let Tian Xiaole succeed easily; they'd keep him in suspense for now.

"That's a pity. We'll have to wait until next time, when my sister and I will work with Director Tian again."

"I have plenty of time, you can just wait."

Tian Xiaole certainly wouldn't make any promises. Li Xue's little tricks were too naive. If she were to be manipulated like this, what would be the difference between her and a prostitute?

When selecting actors, the first consideration should be whether they fit the character, followed by their professional skills and a business perspective.

Thinking with your lower body can easily lead to the film's content being swayed and ruining your own style.

···
A knock sounded on the door, and Li Xue quickly straightened her wrinkled clothes.

Li Binbin walked in, sensing that something was off. He glanced at the two of them but didn't notice anything unusual.

Pour the newly opened bottle of red wine for Tian Xiaole first.

"Director Tian, ​​congratulations in advance on 'The Thieves' topping the box office, making you the highest-grossing film in Chinese history."

Li Binbin raised his glass, speaking very sincerely. "Haha...it's all just empty fame."

The three raised their glasses and clinked them together.

After a few drinks, Li Binbin recalled the unfair treatment he had received on the Hong Kong film set and said with deep emotion.

"Director Tian, ​​I admire you for always supporting mainland actors. It also proves that we mainland actors are no worse than others. This time you have really slapped those who said we can only play supporting roles in the face."

“We actors are not bad, we just lack good scripts. Take you as an example, none of the directors you have worked with have properly explored your potential.”

Of course, it's also possible that because they've always been playing supporting roles for others, they don't value your specific role much.

Li Binbin's portrayal of Ada Wong is good, although this role offers little room for him to showcase his talent.
This series was made by the director to promote his wife, so he definitely wouldn't let her stand out or steal the spotlight.

But the character she played, with her red dress, short hair, and long legs, made a striking entrance.

If Li Binbin were given a suitable role, he could definitely leave behind one or two classic characters on the big screen.

Having acted in hundreds of dramas, the only one that audiences can remember is Ling Chuchu in "Young Justice Bao".

Tian Xiaole's words really hit a nerve with Li Binbin. Considering that her nemesis broke away from his previous fixed image in "The Thief," it's clear how rare it is to find a director who understands actors.

"Director Tian, ​​I also long to be trained by you in acting. I still have a lot of untapped potential."

Tian Xiaole shook her head: "Then you don't have a chance. I'll be more cautious about working with actors from Huayi in the future."

"Ah, why..."

Lin Binbin quickly realized that Huayi had deserted and hadn't invested in the "Pacific Rim" project.

Tian Xiaole didn't involve them in the investment of [Extreme Profession].

Now, you can often hear the Wang brothers discussing trying to repair their relationship with Tian Xiaole at the company.

Thinking of this, Li Binbin felt hatred for the short-sighted Wang brothers.

Feng Xiaogang's project not only doesn't fall into the hands of Huayi's own people, but now they've even offended a big director like Tian Xiaole.

The meal ended with neither side achieving its objective.

The Li sisters wanted to escalate their relationship, or at least get some commitment, but they were very disappointed.

Tian Xiaole wanted to try experiencing both ice and snow, but returned disappointed.

···
The next day, photos of Tian Xiaole having dinner with the Li sisters were reported in the news.

Fan Binbin was the most anxious; he panicked the moment he saw the news.

She owes her current success entirely to Tian Xiaole's support.

If Tian Xiaole were to support the Li sisters, her position as the top female artist at Huayi Music would be in danger.

Besides, the other two are sisters, while she is alone, so she doesn't have the advantage of numbers.

Fan Binbin immediately called Tian Xiaole, wanting to subtly find out what the three of them had talked about last night.

"Director Tian, ​​I just received a batch of red wine. It has a very rich and full-bodied flavor. Would you like to try some?"

Hearing Fan Binbin's invitation, I guessed she was in a hurry, but I wasn't interested today.

He refused, saying, "I'm quitting drinking recently, let's talk about it another time."

In short, Fan Binbin began to doubt herself: had her charm faded?
She asked directly, "Director Tian, ​​what were you and Sister Binbin talking about at your gathering? You didn't even invite me."

"Heh, what can one man and two women talk about? It's all just..."

We chatted for a couple of minutes, and then he hung up. As for what we talked about, you can guess for yourself.

Aside from Fan Binbin, the happiest people were the Wang brothers. Is Tian Xiaole going to cultivate talent for Huayi again?

Fan Binbin and Wang Baoqiang have been receiving a constant stream of film and endorsement offers lately, becoming the company's cash cows.

After immediately summoning Li Xue to inquire about the matter, the Wang brothers' faces darkened.

This is the prelude to a complete severing of cooperation!
