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

Chapter 176 Han Sanping's Shocking Moves!
"Zhao Yanzi is crying her eyes out, and her acting is pretty good. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was the victim and we were the bad guys."

Huang Ping leaned against the steering wheel, scrolling through the news articles about Zhao Yanzi online, and said indignantly.

"The fact that they were able to hold a press conference so decisively, put themselves in the position of the weak, and then buy a wave of press releases, this combination garnered a lot of sympathy."

Tian Xiaole leaned against the car window, also reading related reports online.

The press release emphasized that Zhao Yanzi was thinking of her fans, which is why she refused the production team's design for her appearance and did not want to show her ugly side.

"Regardless of what the news says, her reputation in the industry is ruined after you fired her, Director Tian. At least other directors will have to consider her professionalism before they want to hire her."

"Maybe so. She has a lot of influence behind her, so she can still get into film crews if she wants to."

Whether others use Zhao Yanzi or not is of no interest to Tian Xiaole; ​​he'll definitely not see her in any future projects related to him.

Huang Ping became curious and turned to ask:

"Director Tian, ​​Zhao Yanzi has someone backing her. Who is it?"

"That's not something you can know."

Tian Xiaole flicked the cigarette butt away and fanned the air inside the car to dispel the smell.

Huang Ping didn't ask any more questions, and started talking about the people who came to pick him up today:
"Senior Sister Yan is in the same class as Zhao Yanzi, so she shouldn't have that many problems, right?"

"Do you really think everyone is Zhao Yanzi, an idiot with eyes in the back of their head, who dares to make a scene on set?"

···
An announcement came over the airport's public address system.

Tian Xiaole and Huang Ping got off the car and arrived at the pick-up point.

A moment later, Yan Dancheng's tall figure appeared in Tian Xiaole's line of sight.

She has a classic oval face, a full forehead, almond-shaped eyes, and a high nose bridge, which makes her features look very three-dimensional.

It possesses a classic charm and a refined elegance.

"Director Tian, ​​how could I possibly ask you to come and pick me up in person?"

Yan Dancheng had a smile on her face. She was quite surprised when she saw Tian Xiaole. She didn't expect such a big director to value her so much.

"I personally invited you, so I must make a good impression on you."

Tian Xiaole said with a smile. She then led the way towards the parking lot.

Feeling Tian Xiaole's easygoing nature, Yan Dancheng relaxed considerably.

After all, we had never worked together before, and he was a famous director. I thought he would have a bad temper and the aloofness of an art-house director. I didn't expect him to be able to joke around.

Yan Dancheng didn't bring much luggage, and she had spoken to him on the phone beforehand, so she just drove over.

Huang Ping was in charge of driving, Yan Dancheng, the assistant, sat in the passenger seat, and she and Tian Xiaole sat in the back.

As the vehicle started moving, the desolate desert landscape outside the window looked quite novel.

But after looking at it for a while, it's just like that.

"It's very windy and dry here, so you female celebrities need to be extra careful about sun protection."

Seeing that Yan Dancheng had lost her excitement, Tian Xiaole kindly reminded her.

"I didn't expect Director Tian to know so much. I'll be careful."

Yan Dancheng was quite surprised. In her impression, directors were all rough men who wouldn't care about such details.

"I only have a slight understanding of it."

Tian Xiaole smiled.

It takes some time to drive to Zhenbeibao Western Film Studio.

Yan Dancheng caught an early morning flight, and the car was rather stuffy, so she quickly fell asleep.

Tian Xiaole looked down at the head resting on her shoulder.

Her face, lightly made up, had fair and smooth skin, the kind that looks like it could be squeezed to release moisture.

Was this senior sister genuinely tired, or was she harboring ulterior motives?
Unable to determine the cause, Tian Xiaole drifted off to sleep.

"..."

"Director Tian, ​​we've arrived at the film set," Huang Ping called out softly.

Yan Dancheng's assistant turned around and glanced at her, then quickly turned back, exclaiming that her sister had excellent skills.

Tian Xiaole opened his eyes groggily and found that he and Yan Dancheng's heads were leaning together.

Their legs were crossed.

His large hand was wrapped around her thigh.

The action was extremely indecent.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the car became a little awkward.

"Well, let me introduce you to the other main actors."

Tian Xiaole quickly recovered and acted as if nothing had happened.

I didn't even think about how my hand ended up on someone's leg.

Yan Dancheng nodded. As a professional actor, this kind of physical contact was commonplace.

And she was asleep and didn't move around.

The other main actors were very curious about the newly arrived second female lead and all ran out to greet her.

After getting rid of Zhao Yanzi, the black sheep, the atmosphere on set became harmonious and joyful.

"Who do we have here? It's Junior Sister Dancheng."

Hu Jun greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Brother Hu Jun."

Tian Xiaole introduced Fan Binbin, Zhao Liying, Jiao Enjun, and others to Yan Dancheng.
Although both are in the entertainment industry, Yan Dancheng has basically no movie resources and mainly works in TV dramas, and has little interaction with other people.

The moment Fan Binbin saw who it was, her alarm bells went off. She felt threatened that Tian Xiaole had come to pick her up personally, but she still had a smile on her face.

"Teacher Dancheng, we have a lot of scenes together, and I've already acted them out again. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Fan Binbin's words implied that he wanted to outdo Yan Dancheng and first establish his own position.

"Thank you, Teacher Binbin. I haven't read the script yet, and my understanding of the character isn't that deep. Please take good care of me when we're acting together."

Yan Dancheng had no interest in scheming and only wanted to make the most of this opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Fan Binbin's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to take Yan Dancheng's hand. Before long, they were calling each other sisters.

Seeing the harmonious scene on set, Tian Xiaole was very pleased and prepared to offer them a promise:
"Everyone should make a good film. As long as the box office doesn't lose money, there will be a sequel."

"Don't worry, Director Tian, ​​the remake will only be better than the first one."

Fan Binbin, the female lead, was the happiest, and the other main actors were also in high spirits.

Yan Dancheng felt like she'd won the lottery; she was brimming with energy and full of enthusiasm.

The production crew held a banquet to welcome Yan Dancheng. Lao Tian offered a few words of encouragement, telling her to familiarize herself with the script as soon as possible, as they would be filming the other actors' scenes first in the next few days.

the next day.

Photos of Yan Dancheng appearing on set were quickly reported in the media.

"It is suspected that the role of Pei Rong in 'Painted Skin' has been recast with actress Yan Dancheng."

"It is understood that 'Painted Skin' will be a series of films..."

"..."

After the news broke, many actors wanted to make fun of Zhao Yanzi, thus missing out on a whole film series.

···
Tian Xiaole left the "Painted Skin" film crew, and the College Student Film Festival awards ceremony was about to be held. He had agreed to attend as an award presenter.

Upon landing in the capital, Chen Zhixi came to pick him up at the airport.

"Go home first."

Tian Xiaole gave an order, then suddenly remembered Gao Yuanyuan's matter and asked:

What's Gao Yuanyuan's situation now?

"During that time, both she and Xia Yu were single, but he had only recently broken up with his girlfriend of many years, so the outside world assumed that she was the third party who interfered in their relationship."

Chen Zhixi paid attention to this matter immediately, so she has a fairly clear understanding of it.

"Let her handle her own love life and not let it affect the release of 'Ip Man' during the summer season."

"Okay, boss."

"By the way, keep an eye out for novel copyrights on the market. Buy the film and television rights to the popular ones that have adaptation potential."

Adapting novels into film and television dramas will become commonplace in the future, as they not only come with a loyal following but are also relatively easy to adapt.

Tian Xiaole gave Chen Zhixi the authority to make decisions as long as the amount did not exceed the limit.

Back home, I chatted with the old lady for a while, and talked about Lao Tian's recent situation on the film set.

After lunch, the old lady went for her afternoon nap as usual.

Upon entering the study, Tian Xiaole first browsed online news.

Initiated by the Beijing News: A selection of notable figures in the history of Chinese drama.

The event is in full swing, involving candidate nominations, expert discussions, and online voting.

Taking advantage of this controversy, Feng Yuanzheng criticized some celebrities for performing in plays, claiming it was just a hobby and not a real career.

Lu Zhen is in for a headache now, as Jing Tian's performance in "Lust, Caution" has just happened to be in the line of fire.

Filming for 【Red Cliff】 has started.

As the largest Chinese-language film project to date, it has attracted the attention of the entire industry.

The launch event was unusually low-key, without any overwhelming media coverage, which was completely unlike Han Sanping's personality.

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Tian Xiaole had just arrived home when his phone rang.

"Xiao Le, are you confident of winning an award at Cannes?"

Han Sanping's personality remained unchanged; he was still as direct as ever.

"Cannes isn't my business; whether or not I win an award isn't up to me."

"Tian Xiaole said irritably. There's no reason to put pressure on someone right away."

"You little rascal, your Uncle Han has just taken over, can't you put in a little effort and give me a congratulatory gift?"

Han Sanping's voice was loud and clear, and he sounded very happy.

Tian Xiaole was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the power transfer of China Film Group Corporation had been completed.

"Congratulations, Uncle Han, your wish has come true."

"Well, it's all for the sake of Chinese films, there's no question of whether it's worth it or not."

Hearing Han Sanping's happy tone, Tian Xiaole smiled and reminded him:
"By the way, the follow-up investment for 'Painted Skin' needs to be secured as soon as possible; the production team is desperate for funds."

"You're really putting on airs, making us investors foot the bill."

"This is nothing. Even if we add more, it won't be a drop in the ocean compared to the Battle of Red Cliffs."

"You're really bringing up a sore subject. China Film's share will be here soon."

After Han Sanping finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He was in a good mood, so why bring up "Red Cliff"?

Looking at the busy signal on her phone, Tian Xiaole smiled and shook her head.

Even with this flaw in the film "Red Cliff," Han Sanping was determined to have Wu Yusen film it, even if it meant gritting his teeth.

With blockbuster movies on the market, audiences can be drawn to cinemas, and theater chains can invest in building more surrounding facilities.

If we stop immediately, all the initial investment will be wasted, and we'll get nothing in return.
China Film Group is a state-owned enterprise, so this constitutes a serious loss of assets.

The news that a Hollywood series was looking to cast actors in the country has been widely circulated.

Soon after, media outlets reported that Jet Li was in talks to star in "The Mummy 3" as the villainous Dragon Emperor.

Meanwhile, several actresses are also in talks for the role of the second female lead.

Tian Xiaole paid attention to this message because Gong Li was also auditioning for the role.

It's unlikely she'll get the chance. "Miami Vice" flopped so badly, the producers won't consider her.

Tian Xiaole glanced at the movies scheduled for release in May and exclaimed that Han Sanping was truly a living devil.

4号【蜘蛛侠3】，11号【惊变28周】，12号【生死狙击】，18号【忍者神龟】，25号【加勒海盗3】。

By cramming all the hottest Hollywood sequels and blockbusters into one release window, they're essentially making each other cannibalize the other's films.

As expected of Han Sanping, he dared to do this so soon after taking office.

Industry insiders are applauding this, as it frees up more time slots for domestic films.

However, there is a downside: movies released in April are basically ignored; everyone is waiting for the big releases in May.

The next day, as soon as Tian Xiaole arrived at the company, Chen Zhixi ran over and said that Gao Yuanyuan had broken up with her boyfriend.

"???"

"I didn't ask you to interfere in other people's private lives, I just want their private lives to not affect the release of our movie."

Chen Zhixi quickly explained, "After the news about the third party broke, Xia Yu refused to say that he had broken up with his ex-girlfriend, and Gao Yuanyuan took the initiative to break up with him."

"Oh, I see. Then let her be."

As long as it doesn't affect the movie's release, it's fine. However, Gao Yuanyuan needs to change this aspect; this artsy young woman is too sentimental.

They'd only broken up a few days ago, and she was already rushing to get back together with him. Of course, people would accuse her of being a homewrecker.
