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

Chapter 192 The Three Gods of Chinese Directors!
Inside the venue, toasts were being exchanged, while outside, the media, having obtained firsthand information, had already begun reporting.

"【The Hunt】Palm of Fame celebration banquet, a group of celebrities from the entertainment industry gathered together to celebrate Chinese films reaching the top again."

"The stars who attended the red carpet were all dressed up, with exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, to witness the great achievements of Chinese films."

"Through the efforts of three generations of the Tian family, from the establishment of the New China Film Studio to the Palme d'Or, Chinese films have once again reached the world stage."

In addition to entertainment media, official media also participated in the reporting, and even popularized the Tian family's contributions to Chinese cinema.

This made unsuspecting netizens deeply respect Tian Xiaole.

Grandpa Tian Fang founded the Beijing Film Studio, and Grandma Yu Lan established the Children's Film Studio.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, positioned in the middle, plays a crucial role in connecting the preceding and following sections.

It was only through Tian Xiaole's efforts that Chinese cinema once again reached the pinnacle of cinematic art.

···
"Uncle Zhang, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and support us. How are the preparations for the opening ceremony going?"

Tian Xiaole, holding a wine glass, moved among the guests. There were only a few people he could toast, such as a few big directors and elders.

"Having learned from the criticism we received in Athens, the opening ceremony program was absolutely grand, showcasing China's 5,000-year-old culture to the world."

Haha, I can't say too much. If you have any thoughts, feel free to give me some advice.

Zhang Yimou smiled and patted Tian Xiaole on the shoulder, changing the subject:

"Back then, I had a good chance of surviving, but I was thinking too much at the time, and only later did I learn about the unspoken rules."

Kaige won the Palme d'Or in 93; how could those foreigners possibly award the prize to a Chinese person two years in a row?

Zhang Yimou spoke of this matter with a hint of regret.

"That's because we were all young and didn't understand the unspoken rules of foreign film festivals. Otherwise, 'Farewell My Concubine' would have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film long ago."

Hearing the two talking, Chen Kaige interrupted, his tone filled with resentment.

He patted Tian Xiaole on the shoulder and said with satisfaction:

"If I can help you win the Palme d'Or, then all my hard work will have been worthwhile."

"We really need to thank Uncle Chen. With your experience as a Palme d'Or winner, we young directors have avoided a lot of detours."

Tian Xiaole picked up the conversation and started praising it. He had a feeling that Chen Kaige would often bring this up.

Hearing Tian Xiaole's words, Chen Kaige accepted them without hesitation, revealing a relieved expression.

Zhang Yimou saw everything and suddenly felt out of place with the two of them, so he silently drank his wine.

To others, the three seemed like close friends, laughing and joking as if they were discussing the future of Chinese cinema, whether shaking their heads or smiling.

Just like the three legendary directors in Chinese cinema, they are out of step with other directors.

There is much controversy surrounding the order of the items.

Feng Xiaogang, who was not far away, was eager to join the three's chat.

Knowing he didn't have any notable awards, he was too embarrassed to force his way in, and he didn't give a friendly look to the actors who came up to greet him.

"Once you've finished the opening ceremony, it's time to make a run for Cannes. You definitely have the ability."

Chen Kaige suggested with a smile.

Zhang Yimou thought of his partner, whose previous film "Curse of the Golden Flower" was a huge loss. If it weren't for the preparations for the Olympic opening ceremony, he would have let him make a commercial film long ago.

All I could say was, "We'll talk about it when we have a good script."

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhang, please make yourselves at home. I'll go and greet the others."

Tian Xiaole raised his glass in a gesture of greeting, and just then Jiang Wen came over from Yang Shoucheng's side, and jokingly said with a smile:
"Why are you looking so glum at my victory celebration? Does it upset you that much?"

"Of course I'm happy. I would be even happier if I were the one to win the award."

Jiang Wen put his arm around Tian Xiaole's shoulder, and without waiting for her to agree or not, clinked glasses with her and downed the wine in one gulp.

"Find someone else to drink with you, I can't handle this much alcohol."

Tian Xiaole took a sip and looked at Zhang Ziyi, who had just left Feng Xiaogang's side. Her deep V-neck dress, revealing half of her breasts, was completely unconcealed in front of Feng Xiaogang.

Having spent a lot of time abroad, they seem to have a lot of fun.

"Director Feng, thank you for coming to support us. You're even more popular than I am."

"Haha, if you shout, all the female celebrities in this venue will eat you alive."

Feng Xiaogang's vitiligo seems to be getting worse; his face is covered in patches of white and blue, and he has a lot of yellow teeth when he speaks. Tian Xiaole, as a representative of the "ideal, glorious, and righteous" directors, didn't engage in his vulgar topics, and just exchanged a few polite words.

With some time still remaining before the premiere, everyone was freely socializing.

Fan Binbin seized the opportunity and, seeing that Tian Xiaole was alone, quickly moved closer.

"Director Tian, ​​I dressed up specially for the celebration banquet today."

It has to be said that Fan Binbin's fairy-like look is truly refreshing among the crowd of girls showing off their chests and legs or opting for a cute style.

"It's pretty good, but the makeup is a bit heavy. A lighter look would suit it better."

As a renowned director, Tian Xiaole is very sensitive to the makeup and styling of his characters.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll go back and get a different makeup artist."

Fan Binbin cares a lot about Tian Xiaole's opinion, because this is the powerful figure she's currently clinging to, and this figure has become quite substantial.

She leaned close to Tian Xiaole's ear and whispered:

"Next time I attend a red carpet event, you can help me pick out a dress. I'll show you whatever you like."

“Sure, I’m happy to oblige in such a feast for the eyes.”

Tian Xiaole smiled, and the two raised their glasses and clinked them together in tacit agreement.

Not far away, Jing Tian kept an eye on Tian Xiaole, who was constantly surrounded by people, making it difficult for her to find an opportunity to go up and say hello.

Lu Zhen went out to socialize, and since she didn't know anyone else, she could only sit alone, her gaze following Tian Xiaole's movements.

"Tian Tian, ​​why are you just sitting here and not eating?"

Liu Yifei, chewing something, sat down next to Jing Tian. She wasn't familiar with the others, except for the actors she had worked with on "Pacific Rim".

"Sister Sisi, I've been controlling my diet lately, so I'm eating less."

"You're so thin, why are you still trying to control your weight? I might as well be fat to death."

The two found common ground and began to chat quietly, their two round heads huddled together.

"Director Tian, ​​I also want to act in Hollywood movies. Do you think I have a chance?"

Fan Binbin is ambitious and willing to provide emotional value to Tian Xiaole. She is happy to give as long as she can get opportunities in return.

"If I don't give you the chance, you won't get to try on the costumes, is that what you mean?"

Tian Xiaole's tone turned cold. Giving it willingly and being forced to give it are two different things.

"Of course not, you can have it anytime you like."

Despite the occasion, Fan Binbin hugged Tian Xiaole tightly, genuinely afraid of upsetting her; his voice trembled.

"Alright, we'll talk about it later. Opportunities will only be given to actors from my company."

Tian Xiaole withdrew his hand and said indifferently.

At this moment, Gong Li waved from a distance, and Tian Xiaole left Fan Binbin behind and quickly went over.

Because she was at the main table, chatting with the old lady.

"Grandma, what are you talking about with Sister Li?"

"The ceremony is over, I should go back for my lunch break."

"I send you."

Tian Xiaole quickly helped the old lady up.

"You stay to entertain the guests, I'll take you to Director Yu."

Gong Li said, supporting the old lady with her other hand.

"Xiao Gong is right, she can take me back."

"Alright then, thank you for your help, Sister Li." Tian Xiaole nodded.

"There's no need for us siblings to be so polite."

Gong Li smiled and chatted with the old lady as she left the state guesthouse venue.
