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

Chapter 175: A press conference is held!
The news of Zhao Yanzi being kicked out spread quickly throughout the film crew; it couldn't be kept secret.

"He was really fired from the production team?"

"Yes, there were many people watching in the dressing room, and Director Tian slammed his fist on the table to chase them away."

Hearing her assistant's vivid description, Fan Binbin was overjoyed, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, believing that her tearful complaint had worked.

"Good riddance, let her go against me."

In Fan Binbin's heart, he had forgiven Tian Xiaole for not opening the door last night.

The other lead actors in the production crew were initially surprised upon hearing the news, but then they were relieved.

If Zhao Yanzi had acted differently, her demands might have been met by a typical director.

Perhaps it's because they're too popular, and being a direct descendant of the Beijing Film Academy, that they dared to make demands even on Professor Tian's production team, and now they've run into trouble.

As a top-tier female star with extremely high national recognition, if this were to get out, it would definitely be explosive news.

Everyone enjoys watching the spectacle, and those who don't care about it keep their distance.

The media quickly learned that Zhao Yanzi had been kicked out of the production team and began to verify the news.

Outside the filming location of "Painted Skin," a large number of reporters suddenly appeared, wanting to visit the set and conduct interviews.

They were stopped by the staff on the outside, but the crowd was still in disarray.

There aren't many actors in China who are truly outstanding, and Zhao Yanzi happens to be one of them, so everyone wants to get their hands on the latest news.

Tian Xiaole voluntarily accepted the interview, wanting to define the matter directly to avoid any more ulterior motives trying to plead for leniency.

As soon as they arrived outside the film set, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters who bombarded them with questions.

Tian Xiaole pressed his hands down, and after things quieted down, he pointed to a familiar-looking reporter.

"Director Tian, ​​was Zhao Yanzi really fired from the crew? What was the reason for her dismissal?"

"It's true, and the reason is simple: she's not a dedicated actress."

I strongly resisted the makeup and styling that the production team had already planned. If I really didn't want it, why did I take the role in the first place? I just can't understand it.

Tian Xiaole shrugged, indicating that he found it hard to understand.

A group of reporters were very excited; this news would definitely cause a sensation if it got out.

"Has a replacement actor been chosen?"

"We haven't decided who will play the role of Pei Rong yet. We'll announce it once it's decided."

Several people flashed through Tian Xiaole's mind, and Zeng Li seemed to be the most suitable. Other actresses could also be considered.

After asking about the casting change, the reporters naturally couldn't escape questions about the film's nominations.

This is also Tian Xiaole's first interview since being nominated for Cannes.

"Director Tian, ​​'The Hunting' is the only Chinese-language film nominated for Cannes this year. Are you confident it will win an award?"

"I've always been confident in the films I make. As for whether they'll win an award, that depends on the judges' preferences."

"..."

···
That afternoon, the news of the interview was quickly reported and soon occupied the pages of major media outlets.

"Zhao Yanzi was fired from the 'Painted Skin' production team. Director Tian Xiaole criticized her for being unprofessional."

"Refusing to have the makeup and styling provided by the production team and having an assistant do the blocking and rehearsals is either a sign of being a diva or arrogance and ignorance."

"It is reported that Zhao Yanzi and the female lead Fan Binbin had a conflict, but the crew pulled them apart in time."

"Director Tian Xiaole has high expectations for the Cannes Film Festival and is confident of winning an award..."

Media reports thrust Zhao Yanzi into the spotlight.

He acted like a diva on Tian Zhuangzhuang's set and was fired by Tian Xiaole.

Either of these two points, if applied to any other actor, would result in them being blacklisted within the industry.

Even renowned fifth-generation directors and commercially successful directors can't stand this kind of actor, so other directors certainly wouldn't use him to avoid trouble.

It's not about using one's background to suppress others; it's an unspoken understanding within the industry.

Zhao Yanzi, a regular at Hunan TV during the summer vacation, has a large fan base.

Upon seeing the news reports of her being fired, a large number of fans reacted strongly, saying that their idol was not that kind of person and that she was being targeted by the Tian family.

Fans spontaneously united to boycott the movie "Painted Skin".

Back in the capital, Zhao Yanzi was in a state of utter distress and began to regret her decision to request a makeover.

People outside are saying she's arrogant, unprofessional, and difficult to please...

Her sister-in-law, Chen Rong, is trying to pull strings to suppress the news and let the matter pass as soon as possible.

Zhao Yanzi looked at Chen Rong, who had just hung up the phone, hoping to hear good news, but the latter shook his head, looking helpless.

"Yanzi, let's hold a press conference to apologize," Chen Rong suggested.

"Wouldn't that be admitting that I'm arrogant and unprofessional? Wouldn't that ruin my career?"

Zhao Yanzi immediately exploded, shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Public opinion is very unfavorable to us. Only if we take the initiative to admit our mistakes and give the public an image of being willing to correct them, and then cooperate with news marketing, is it possible to salvage our image." "Isn't there any other way?"

Zhao Yanzi asked unwillingly.

Chen Rong shook his head: "This is the best way."

···
In Lao Tian's rest room, Tian Xiaole saw the phone call that the former had just hung up and suddenly felt a little annoyed.

"Still the school's phone number?"

"Ah."

Old Tian stubbed out his cigarette, took a sip of tea, and then spoke calmly.

"I'm not here to plead for favors. I want the role of Pei Rong to be played by an actress who graduated from a prestigious school. That would make things look better on the show. Otherwise, there isn't a single person from the Beijing Film Academy in the production team."

Upon hearing this request, Tian Xiaole's expression softened; as long as it wasn't someone nagging and complaining, it was fine.

Choosing an actor from the Beijing Film Academy wouldn't be a bad idea.

"By the way, let's inform the investors about the recasting and reshooting, and ask them to invest more. We won't force those who are unwilling, but we definitely won't include them in the sequel."

Tian Xiaole has the authority to say this. If any film and television companies are unwilling to invest further, he only needs to make his statement, and a large number of them will want to get involved.

Furthermore, changing actors is an unavoidable factor, and several companies will definitely have to share the burden.

“I will explain the situation. If you have an actress who is suitable to play Pei Rong, you can recommend her. It would be a waste of time to go through auditions later.”

Tian Xiaole tapped on the table, thinking about who at the Beijing Film Academy would be suitable for the role.

Suddenly I remembered a senior colleague I auditioned with twice before, but we never got to work together.

Meanwhile, Yan Dancheng, an actress from the 96 class of Beijing Film Academy, is a good choice.

Thinking of this, I found my phone and dialed the number directly.

"Senior Sister Dancheng, are you available recently?"

"Director Tian, ​​you're calling at this time to ask about my schedule. You don't mean you want me to play the role of Pei Rong, do you?"

"Haha, Senior Sister Dancheng is really good at predicting things, you guessed it all. So, would you like to act?" Tian Xiaole directly extended an invitation.

"Since Director Tian thought of me and was willing to give me a chance, of course I was willing."

Yan Dancheng immediately agreed; starring in a big-budget movie is the dream of many actors.

Moreover, every film project is watched by countless people, so of course they wouldn't miss this opportunity.

As for why Zhao Yanzi was fired, she had no interest in finding out.

When a top-tier actress falls, second- and third-tier actresses have a better chance.

"Yan Dancheng is from the class of '96. She has acting skills and her image is suitable."

"Okay, then let's go with her."

In just a few words, the role that everyone was eager to play was decided.

···
capital.

Kuntai Jiarui Cultural Center.

No fewer than a hundred media outlets were invited by Zhao Yanzi, but the content of today's press conference remains unknown.

At 10 a.m., Zhao Yanzi, with red and swollen eyes, sat down at the table at the press conference with the help of her agent.

In an instant, countless cameras began flashing at her, capturing her haggard, helpless, and bewildered appearance.

"Today, I'm holding this press conference to give a brief explanation of what has happened recently..."

At that moment, Zhao Yanzi started crying, and her agent quickly handed her a tissue.

After the performance,

She stood up and bowed deeply.

"I am sorry to all the staff of the 'Painted Skin' crew. I am deeply sorry for the impact caused by my personal request."

I'm sorry to Professor Tian. He patiently taught me time and time again on set, but I let him down.

I want to apologize to everyone whose work was delayed because of me.

Zhao Yanzi started crying again. This performance was definitely the peak of her acting skills; she was so beautiful, with tears streaming down her face.

I hope the audience will give me another chance, give your Little Swallow another chance. I deeply realize my mistakes..."

···
The press conference was undoubtedly a success, and photos of Zhao Yanzi crying in distress were featured prominently on major news headlines.

Fans expressed their heartache, and some netizens offered their sympathy.

She knows she was wrong, what more do you want?
Is the intention to exterminate them all?

Under the relentless media onslaught, netizens have begun to call for Zhao Yanzi to be given a chance!
Some netizens also remembered that the incident of wearing the ghost flag was brought up again.

These kinds of voices were quickly drowned out, leaving not a ripple.
