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

Chapter 200 Qin Lan at the Media Conference!
On the flight back to the capital, Tian Xiaole glanced around and saw that everyone around him was a colleague from the same industry.

To avoid being disturbed, just browse online news and pretend you're busy, and you won't get bothered!

Jay Chou is usually a very reserved person, so it's quite rare for him to launch a scathing attack in front of the media.

He criticized Taiwanese record companies for allegedly manipulating chart positions, specifically naming the owner of a certain company.

It's like stirring up a hornet's nest; many singers have jumped out to object, including Jolin Tsai and Show Lo...

This left Jay Chou feeling isolated and helpless.

Tian Xiaole felt a little sorry for Director Chen. Every time there was news about him, his ex-wife would come out and try to get attention.

As soon as the film festival closed, Hong Huang rushed to Shanghai and was interviewed by local reporters.

To reiterate what Director Chen least wants to talk about, "The Promise," it's like rubbing salt into a wound with perfect precision.

Having someone like that around, Chen Hong probably won't be in a good mood.

After all, every appearance of hers is a reminder that the man beside her has been with someone else.

As the plane was about to land, the crowd on board suddenly became agitated.

Chen Zhixi went around asking around and then came back to say:

"Boss, just a few hours ago, the crosstalk master Hou Yaowen passed away due to a myocardial infarction."

Tian Xiaole nodded, indicating that she understood.

This person is a towering figure in the world of crosstalk. His most famous disciple is Guo Degang, the chubby boy, so he can be considered a worthy successor.

As always, a large number of reporters were waiting at the airport. There were many people from the industry on the same flight, which made the reporters' focus diverted.

Seizing the opportunity, Tian Xiaole squeezed into the waiting van and instructed the driver:
"send me home."

···
The day after returning from Shanghai, Tian Xiaole arrived at the company.

Post-production on "Painted Skin" has begun, and Lao Tian is either in the editing room or in the special effects department.

The requirements for the visuals, texture, and color of this film are extremely stringent.

This is Lao Tian's first time directing a commercial film, and you can tell he puts a lot of effort into it.

"Seeing the production process of Pacific Rim, with all the special effects scenes, I suddenly realized that our generation is getting old and can't keep up with the times."

Old Tian said with some emotion.

These directors in China have never seen anything like this before.

Thousands of engineers used computers to create post-production scenes for the film, designing sets, visuals, and fight sequences...

In his memory, these tasks were handled by the art, props, and stunt teams of the film crew, but now they can be solved with computers.

"The fact that you were able to make a film with a subject like 'Painted Skin' shows that you are not opposed to this type of production method. This film also has quite a few special effects shots."

In Tian Xiaole's opinion, Lao Tian's fear of falling behind the pace of film development is really overthinking things.

Among the five generations of directors, Zhang Yimou was the first to use special effects shots extensively, followed by Chen Kaige.

Including Lao Tian, ​​who filmed "Painted Skin," these three are the only ones who have kept up with the times.

Like other directors of the fifth generation, they are still stuck on realistic themes. They prefer film shooting and are simply not used to advanced digital cameras.

"You're assigning two teams to handle the post-production of 'Painted Skin,' won't that delay the production of your other movie?"

"【Pacific Rim】No rush. The film's workload can't be completed overnight. Let's focus on your project first."

Tian Xiaole reassured Lao Tian that China's special effects industry has gone from a barren wasteland to laying the foundation, and there are many challenges to overcome. "Pacific Rim" is mainly for practice.

The post-production of "Painted Skin" was the first step in testing the subject, to see how well they had learned during that time.

Tian Xiaole returned to her office and found several unread emails in her inbox. Jay Chou had sent her the full version of the promotional song, "I Believe So."

Remembering the news I saw on the plane, I replied and asked him if he wanted to offer his support.

In addition, there was an email from Lionsgate. The sequel to Annabelle will have its premiere at the end of the month and will be released on July 1st. They asked Tin Siu-lok if he wanted to go and participate in the promotion.

Finally, the copyright of "Lurking" was brought up.

Tian Xiaole thought about it and decided that there was no need to make a special trip, since it coincided with the premiere of "Ip Man 2".

Ning Hao's new film, "Crazy Racer," has had its start date indefinitely postponed to accommodate Huang Bo's availability.

Tian Xiaole also advised him to change the male lead.

But in Ning Hao's words, it would be crazy not to hire an international actor who's willing to pay a friendly price.

Since that's what he said, Tian Xiaole just let it go.

The media briefing for [Nanjing] was held at the China Film Auditorium.

When Tian Xiaole arrived, he found that the scene was quite large, with a lot of media present, indicating that China Film Group had put in a lot of effort.

To promote this patriotic film, the crew held very few press conferences during the halfway point of filming.

Considering the special circumstances of Nanjing, it is estimated that Han Sanping will agree.

"Director Tian, ​​I am Qin Hong from Xingmei. It's so difficult to meet you."

Tian Xiaole looked at the hand the man in front of her extended and politely shook it:
"Hello, Mr. Qin."

"Director Tian, ​​Star Media is a powerful company with ample funding. We hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

"Mr. Qin, I now have established business partners, and it wouldn't be good to kick anyone out, wouldn't you agree?"

Tian Xiaole smiled. Why would someone who runs a perfectly good nightclub choose to come and work in the entertainment industry? He's playing a game of reverse marketing.

The celebrities they promote can then attract escorts, and they can also elevate the hostesses to stardom. If this continues, will there be any clean spots left in the entertainment industry?
What's the difference between the female celebrities that Tian Xiaole is involved with and the hostesses?
It seems so...

Qin Hong was mentally prepared for the rejection; Tian Xiaole was a cash cow, and all the film and television companies were eyeing him.

I hope that those regular partners can be kicked out like Huayi, so that they can take their place at any time.

"If you need funding in the future, Director Tian, ​​please feel free to ask. I also hope to communicate with you more often."

After Qin Hong finished speaking, he took out a card from his pocket, a meaningful smile on his face, and whispered:

"This is a 'Heaven on Earth' membership card. It has the highest level of security. Director Tian can go there to relax when he's tired from work."

"Mr. Qin, I appreciate your kind gesture, but I cannot accept such a reward without having done anything in return."

Whether or not to keep it a secret is secondary. The main thing is that Tian Xiaole cherishes his life. If he were to contract an unclean disease, his future happy life would be completely ruined.

Seeing that Tian Xiaole's refusal was firm and didn't seem like a feigned refusal, Qin Hong put the card away, leaving it for someone who was meant to receive it.

···
Tian Xiaole glanced around the venue and saw several old men from the association, who had come to support Lu Chuan.

There were also quite a few invited directors and actors, so it seems that Han Sanping has high expectations for this movie!
"Director Tian, ​​are you looking for someone?"

A crisp sound rang in her ears, and Tian Xiaole turned her head to look. What came into view was a standard oval face with large, bright eyes.

She has a high nose bridge, sexy lips, and an overall elegant demeanor.

Seeing Tian Xiaole's questioning look, Qin Lan quickly introduced herself:

"Hello Director Tian, ​​I am actress Qin Lan and a loyal fan of yours."

"Oh, so which of my works do you like?"

Tian Xiaole asked curiously, wanting to see if this was a pre-arranged attempt to get closer to him.

"My favorite movie is 'Love in a Bouquet'. The person who came up with the idea of ​​using a bouquet to describe love is a genius."

Love is like a flower, extremely beautiful when it blooms, but destined to wither.

Secondly, there's "The Maze of Hearts," a battle of human nature where every character is vividly portrayed...

Qin Lan spoke eloquently, whether out of genuine interest or due to prior research, she described the phone number Tian Xiaole photographed in great detail, as if it were a treasure trove of knowledge.

"I thought you would say 'hunting'. Everyone who comes up to greet me praises it first. I've gotten used to it."

"Because it's the Palme d'Or winner, and also my personal third favorite film."

Qin Lan said with a smile.

Tian Xiaole nodded, having heard it so many times these days, and changed the subject, asking:

"Who are you here...?"

“I also played a role in the movie Nanjing.”

Seeing that Tian Xiaole was so easy to talk to, without the aloofness often associated with big-name directors, Qin Lan mustered her courage and spoke:

"Director Tian, ​​may I have your contact information? I hope to have the opportunity to act in one of your films."

"Okay."

Tian Xiaole gave his phone number to Qin Lan, who looked delighted.

Not far away, Lu Chuan, the protagonist of the day, dressed in a suit and tie, was greeting a group of uncles and elders brought by his father.

He glanced at Tian Xiaole, who was chatting animatedly with Qin Lan, and unconsciously clenched his fists. That was the woman he had his eye on.

He desperately wanted to go up and make his presence known, but he was also afraid that Tian Xiaole would force him to slap him, so he could only silently harbor resentment in his heart.

It reflects weakness, incompetence, and short stature.

The press conference has begun.

When Han Sanping entered the venue, he first glanced around to make sure that the people he had personally invited had arrived.

Standing on the stage, Lu Chuan regained some confidence and spoke eloquently about the hardships and difficulties of the filming process.

"I never imagined that making a patriotic film would be so difficult, from the script being rejected during review to the need to build a city for filming..."

The problems that Lu Chuan complained about were seen by the directors below as a sign of poor coordination skills.

A large film crew has hundreds of people, and coordinating all the departments is not something an ordinary person can do.

Han Sanping's face darkened. This was a media conference, not a complaint and roast session.

Several lead actors came up from backstage to give interviews to the media.

Besides Qin Lan, there were also familiar faces Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Hanyu, as well as Jiang Yiyan, whom I had met at the Beijing Film Academy.

Liu Ye was filming "The Eight Hundred" and escaped unscathed. The lead role in this terrible movie fell to Zhang Hanyu.

The reporter's focus was on Gao Yuanyuan.

Besides the upcoming film "Ip Man 2", there is also her love triangle with Xia Yu and Yuan Quan.

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's answer, Tian Xiaole felt a bit disgusted.

She previously said she and Xia Yu had broken up cleanly, but now they're dragging things out again. Whether it's these rumors or true love, it doesn't matter.
They are all very different from the gentle and intellectual character of the female lead in "Ip Man".

The movie is about to be released, and now they're pulling this stunt.

When the show ended, Gao Yuanyuan came over and said she would handle the emotional issues and that it wouldn't affect the reputation of "Ip Man".

Seeing the impatience in Tian Xiaole's eyes, Gao Yuanyuan didn't say anything more and tactfully left.
