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

Chapter 193 Female Celebrities with Their Own Thoughts!

The premiere has begun.

[The Hunt] Only a handful of people have seen it in Cannes; most people are looking forward to this film, after all, it's a Palme d'Or winner.

Following Xie Nan's introduction, all the main creators went on stage.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the celebration banquet and premiere ceremony for 'The Hunt.' The original intention behind making this film..."

Tian Xiaole took the microphone, gave a brief thank you, and then introduced the film and some interesting stories that happened during filming.

Wang Jinsong had many feelings to share, talking about his experience of being chosen by Tian Xiaole to play this role.

"I am very grateful to Director Tian for the invitation and for giving me this opportunity. Fortunately, I did not disappoint him. The film's achievements are evident to all..."

In addition to expressing his gratitude, he also praised his own acting skills and mentioned the training he received from the Beijing Film Academy.

The male actors' eyes burned with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and intense jealousy...

Wang Jinsong is a performance teacher. Why can't he just be a good teacher? Why does he have to come and steal our jobs?

The female lead in this film is said to be Zeng Li, but she is actually Guan Xiaotong. The conflicts in the entire film revolve around her.

She was only ten years old when she achieved the highest point of her acting career. With this movie as a foundation, her future is bright.

The actresses in the audience, watching Zeng Li on stage, felt the same envy and jealousy, thinking that she was very skilled.

He was suddenly thrust into the cast of Pacific Rim and then landed a leading role in The Hunt.

Many female celebrities scrutinized Zeng Li, concluding that she was just a bit better off in terms of figure and legs, but otherwise looked average.

Yang Mi, who was sitting in the last row, was feeling quite proud of herself before coming. Among all the students at the Beijing Film Academy, only she and Jing Tian had received invitations.

From morning till now, she has been the least noticed and least noticeable actress.

Apart from Liu Yifei greeting her, no one paid any attention to her, and she didn't dare to go up to the group of big shots and directors to recommend herself.

On stage, Zeng Li spoke eloquently, and Yang Mi was extremely envious.

Shifting our focus to Guan Xiaotong, if she gets the resources she needs in a few years, she'll become a top-tier actress again.

Yang Mi felt that she was no worse than them, whether it was her figure, professional skills, or emotional intelligence; she had a great advantage.

I thought that after Zhou Xun left, she would become the de facto number one at Rongxinda.

Unexpectedly, the company recently signed a 15-year contract with an actress, while her contract expires in three years.

Rong Xinda doesn't have many film resources, and given that the company's future film and television resources will definitely favor that actress, Yang Mi started thinking about leaving.

Li Xiaolu, who comes from a family workshop, also has her own little schemes.

She won the Best Actress award in 98 by selling her body, but her career was not so smooth. She often played supporting roles in movies and TV series.

Zeng Li, who used to work in art films, has suddenly made a name for herself in the commercial film industry. It's obvious that she must have gotten close to Tian Xiaole.

Since getting Tian Xiaole's phone number, Li Xiaolu has never taken the initiative to contact him, except for sending congratulatory text messages.

I thought it would be like other directors, giving subtle hints and then leading to a mutually agreeable transaction.

Born into a family of performers, she was well aware of these things and did not reject this unspoken rule of exchanging resources.

The one who most longed for favor was Yan Ni, her old comrade-in-arms.

Although "My Own Swordsman" was a huge hit, she still didn't have many resources, since she didn't have a management company and was one of the few people in China who worked independently.

The look in Tian Xiaole's eyes was utterly blatant.

I've only had a few drinks, but I'm already a little tipsy.

The most important and anticipated part was the movie screening.

Everyone is now glued to the big screen.

As the plot unfolds, Guan Xiaotong's character, who lacked love in her family of origin, confessed her feelings to Wang Jinsong but failed. Harboring resentment, she falsely accused him of assault.

Because of a lie, the hunt for the male protagonist began.

The film vividly portrays the evil in human nature, and the overall oppressive atmosphere left the audience speechless and breathless.

As the film played, sporadic discussions began to emerge.

"It turns out that you don't necessarily need a mining accident; a murder plot can also reveal the dark side of human nature."

"The plot is so frustrating..."

"In reality, would such a lie really exist, and would someone be the one being targeted?"

The murmurs below gradually grew louder.

Aside from the actors exchanging ideas, many directors shook their heads, saying they couldn't come up with a script like this even if they racked their brains.

From the initial warning, to the bullying of the protagonist's son and the killing of the family dog, this suffocating atmosphere builds layer by layer.

The oppressive atmosphere reached its climax when the male protagonist was pushed into the water, just when everyone thought the film was over.

The most disheartening plot twist has occurred.

The male protagonist was rescued not out of kindness, but to continue to tormenting him and let fear accompany his life.

"A film that can win the Palme d'Or must have some serious talent."

"It's more than just two games. This script is so amazing that it can't be compared to those domestic ones that sell sex, betray the country, and peddle suffering."

After the two-hour movie ended, everyone remained silent, still immersed in the oppressive atmosphere created by the film.

It wasn't until the front row started clapping that everyone realized what was happening.

For a moment, there was thunderous applause.

Han Sanping started the conversation.

"Everyone here is a pillar of the film and television industry. I hope you can create more excellent films. Art films allow us to think from multiple perspectives and stand on the international stage to showcase our spiritual civilization."

But commercial films are also of paramount importance. Our market needs blockbusters, and the construction of cinemas also needs blockbusters to drive it. As long as it helps Chinese films, China Film Group will definitely encourage and support it..."

Many people are still immersed in the oppressive atmosphere of movies, discussing the differences between art films and commercial films.

Commercial films are all about big scenes, special effects, and big stars; the discussion usually ends after a few words.

But the reflections brought about by art films can leave a deep impression and make people reflect on certain things. Hearing Han Sanping's words, I still feel that making commercial films is easier. Making art films like this requires a strong script, which is another story.

"Brother Le is amazing, no wonder he won the Palme d'Or."

Tang Yan is the only one who dares to call Tian Xiaole "brother" in public, because she was caught eating candy for 12 hours straight.

Wang Luodan and Zhao Liying both nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go to America together. The movie ‘The Museum’ is about to start filming, and I need to go there beforehand to do some training.”

Having secured her position as the top female star, Tang Yan smiled and extended an invitation to the two of them.

"Sure, it won't be so boring if we're together."

Wang Luodan nodded in agreement, and Zhao Liying echoed her sentiment.

···
The creators gave another interview, this time focusing mainly on the film.

"Director Tian, ​​we all know that the film's rights were sold for a sky-high price at Cannes. Do you still have expectations for the domestic box office?"

"Of course there are, who would complain about having too many?"

Tian Xiaole smiled and spoke frankly, then went on to talk about the film's theme:

"With the popularization of the Internet, there will only be more and more incidents of collective verbal bullying. I hope that after watching [The Hunt], if you encounter such a situation, you will not believe one side of the story."

Upon hearing this, they all seemed to ponder it, and dared not interrupt their applause.

"Director Tian, ​​why is the movie open-ended? Aren't you worried that the audience will feel too depressed after watching it?"

"Prejudice doesn't need evidence, and innocence can't be truly washed away. An open ending will allow the audience to understand more deeply, as being slandered can cause long-term harm."

Tian Xiaole's explanation invigorated all the directors. Many directors who like to show off their skills use this kind of open-ended approach, but most of them do it for no real purpose.

The hunting gave them new ideas and better approaches.

After the premiere, there was no time for a banquet, because the necessary social interactions had already been completed by noon.

"Xiao Le, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or. If there's a role that suits me, remember to save it for me."

Before the show ended, Gong Li approached Tian Xiaole, who was rushing to England to audition for the film "Shanghai".

"Don't worry, Sister Li, you'll be the first person I think of when there's a role."

Tian Xiaole smiled and saw the person into the car. He had been entertaining people all day and felt more tired than when he was filming.

"Brother Le, I'm going to America tomorrow."

Tang Yan stared at Tian Xiaole with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, her meaning quite clear.

Hey!
Tian Xiaole sighed, knowing that she couldn't make excuses this time.

She was wearing a black backless dress with a high slit, her long legs were partially visible.

It is quite touching.

"Then wait a bit, we'll leave together later."

"Ah."

Tang Yan nodded obediently and stood aside so as not to interfere with Tian Xiaole seeing off the guests.

For elders like Han Sanping and Zhang Huijun, or influential figures, it's necessary to personally see them off when they come to show their support.

Tian Xiaole stood at the door, and female celebrities who passed by would come up to chat for a few words, giving plenty of hints.

Tang Yan crossed her arms and hummed, wanting to highlight her status as the empress, but also afraid of disturbing Tian Xiaole's enjoyment.

Out of sight, out of mind; I turned away and kicked the wall to vent my frustration.

"Brother Le, it's been so long since we ate together. I'll cook for you when I get back. Do you want to come?"

Aren't you going back to the film set?

"I took a few days off."

When Zeng Li returned to the set of "Blue Archives" from Cannes, she was greeted with flowers and applause, as well as envy and jealousy.

She enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by people, especially when it comes to attending the celebration banquet, where the director and investors all give her the green light.

He also told her not to worry, and to go back to the film set after she finished her business.

This TV series now needs to rely on her fame for promotion.

Zeng Li knew who was behind all of this, so she wanted to solidify their relationship.

"Let's skip this one; there's still a ton of other things to take care of."

Tian Xiaole shook his head and refused. Tang Yan would be gone for several months, and there would definitely be a fierce battle at night. She wouldn't have the energy to deal with other people.

Zeng Li glanced at Tang Yan in the corner, forced a smile, waved, and left.

She needed to rush back to study recipes to figure out how to win a man's heart through his stomach.

···
Inside the van, the partition was raised to block the driver's hearing and vision.

Tang Yan threw herself into Tian Xiaole's arms, desperately demanding more; she didn't want to wait a moment longer.

The two hadn't spoken in a long time; they were genuinely afraid of being bewitched by other fairies.

Tian Xiaole wasn't about to let her get away with it, so she used the techniques she'd learned in Gabon to give her a good rub.

The car, which had been moving steadily, started to wobble.

The driver is doing his best to keep the vehicle moving steadily forward.

···
Jing Tian waited for Lu Zhen for a while, but when he came out, he didn't see Tian Xiaole. She felt quite disappointed.

Lu Zhen saw it all and smiled to himself.

He deliberately came out later to avoid Tian Xiaole and prevent Jing Tian from approaching him again.

Jing Tian didn't know what Lu Zhen was thinking, but when she didn't see Tian Xiaole, she started complaining and nagging.
