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

Chapter 201 Jiang Wen's Confident Approach to Winning the Award!
The premiere of "Ip Man 2" was held at the State Guest House.

As the producer, Tian Xiaole had to go and make an appearance.

in the country, the influence of "Ip Man" can only be considered as that of a successful commercial film.

However, its performance overseas is outstanding, making it a model for cultural export.

Donnie Yen was originally poised to enter Hollywood's radar solely through this film series.

He is the third male actor to star in a Hollywood blockbuster, following Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

But now, none of that will belong to him anymore.

Seeing the influence of this film, the group of male actors from Hong Kong Island have been eyeing the lead role in "Ip Man".

With Tian Xiaole keeping him quiet, Ying Huang finally fell silent.

The premiere of a commercial film was much more lively than that of a film with a subject like "Nanjing".

Ying Huang attached great importance to it, and many directors and actors came from Hong Kong Island, while many actors from the mainland were also invited to attend.

With Tian Xiaole as the producer, a large number of mainland actors came to support the event.

"Congratulations, Uncle Wen! Not only are you having a child late in life, but Aunt Yun is pregnant again."

Seeing Jiang Wen's radiant face, Tian Xiaole stepped forward and joked that Zhou Yun had given birth to a big, healthy son for him last year, and was pregnant again this year.

"Don't just congratulate me. You're not young anymore, you should start thinking about your own life."

"Yes, I have been considering it recently."

Tian Xiaole scratched his head. The old lady was getting older and having a baby was already on her agenda.

"Oh, so who are you planning to talk to?"

Jiang Wen's curiosity was piqued. Tian Xiaole had never publicly acknowledged a girlfriend, but as a Palme d'Or-winning director, he was never short of women.

That's why I asked who to look for, rather than who it was.

"I haven't decided yet. Uncle Wen, do you have any recommendations?"

Tian Xiaole said shamelessly.

"I think you're just overwhelmed by the choices..."

Jiang Wen stopped the conversation, looked around, and after confirming that no one he knew was there, whispered:
"It doesn't matter if your wife is pretty or not, you have to find someone virtuous and devoted to you, understand?"

Jiang Wen, with the air of someone who's been there, patted Tian Xiaole's chest as if he were imparting a lot of experience.

"Uncle Wen is more experienced; I have a lot to learn from you."

"I am a good family man, and I should learn from him."

Jiang Wen puffed out his chest, looking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Those in the industry passing by saw the two chatting animatedly and none of them dared to disturb them, which made the two happy to have some peace and quiet.

"By the way, the premiere of my movie has been scheduled. Remember to come."

When Jiang Wen talked about the movie "The Sun Also Rises," his tone was filled with regret.

"If it weren't for the French destroying my film copy, this Palme d'Or would be mine."

"Didn't you get selected even after the supplementary enrollment?"

Tian Xiaole said in a serious tone, and Jiang Wen's face turned red, his chest heaving, and after a long pause, he managed to utter:
"Chatting with you is really boring."

"Haha... I was just kidding."

"But there's still Venice, and Director Zhang is the chairman; this time, things might not turn out well."

Tian Xiaole quickly comforted her.

Mentioning the Venice International Film Festival brought a smile to Jiang Wen's face.

Marco Müller is extremely friendly towards Chinese-language films, and Zhang Yimou is serving as the jury chairman, so their chances of winning awards are very good.

"Just watch closely, I'm determined to win the Golden Lion this time."

Jiang Wen got excited and suddenly made some bold statements.

"Since the judging panel includes our own people, it's best not to be too conspicuous to avoid gossip. Besides, Li An's 'Lust, Caution' is not to be underestimated; he's probably your biggest competitor."

Tian Xiaole reminded him, but Jiang Wen waved his hand dismissively, looking completely confident.

I swallowed back what I wanted to say, lest I say I didn't think highly of his movie.

Just then, a staff member came over to remind everyone that it was time to take their seats for the premiere.

"Let's go."

Tian Xiaole said something.

The staff led the two people toward the first row.

"We can sit here."

Tian Xiaole chose a middle seat, deciding not to go up and steal the spotlight from the movie, and Jiang Wen also sat down next to her.

The staff could only go to the back office to report with a bitter face.

When Yang Shoucheng led the main cast into the venue, he glanced at Tian Xiaole and Jiang Wen. As long as they were there, that was enough; he dared not ask for too much.

[Ip Man 2] Director Wilson Yip started speaking, his broken Mandarin was understandable if you listened carefully.

It was just a barrage of praise, complimenting the actors' professionalism, Zhao Wenzhuo's excellent action scenes, and other compliments for the lead actors.

When it came to Zhao Wenzhuo's turn, he first thanked Tian Xiaole for giving him the opportunity, knowing that many people were eyeing this role.

He could easily exchange his talent for many resources, but they still decided to cast him, a nobody actor with no connections, which moved him deeply.

Hung Kam-po is a seasoned veteran; his words are tight and cryptic.

When it comes to Gao Yuanyuan, one can't help but sigh; what she did was so different from the character she played.

The film begins to play.

【Ip Man 2】 continues the story of the first film, telling the tale of Ip Man taking his family to Hong Kong Island to open a martial arts school in order to make a living, and facing various difficulties from the local martial arts community.

In accepting challenges from various schools, he gained recognition from the martial arts world through his own strength and charisma.

Western boxing champion "Tornado" discriminated against Chinese people, not only belittling Chinese martial arts but also injuring Chinese martial arts masters. In order to defend national dignity, Ip Man accepted the challenge from the foreigner.

The film continues the spirit of Ip Man, showcasing his personal charm while also incorporating national sentiments, and the fight scenes are quite clean and crisp.

···
Tian Xiaole did not attend the post-screening interviews and reception; she left early.

A wave of boycotts suddenly swept across the internet.

The drama "My Naughty Prince," starring Rainie Yang, was imported by Hunan TV, but when the broadcast time was announced, it was met with resistance from netizens.

Netizens launched a petition on a forum, calling for 10,000 signatures to boycott the viewing of Rainie Yang's dramas.

Seeing that the matter was escalating, Hunan TV temporarily pulled the show from its broadcast.

Rainie Yang's fans are outraged: 10,000 people have signed a petition demanding the resumption of the drama's broadcast.

After a back-and-forth struggle, the various forums and blogs were buzzing with excitement.

Tian Xiaole learned that the cause was that in 03, Yang Cheng-ling's thoughtless remarks on a variety show were dug up, which triggered strong backlash from netizens.

Those with memories and passion are always ordinary people; capital and scheming TV stations always put profit first.

A news report struck Tian Xiaole as absurd.

Unexpectedly, after Hou Yaowen's death, instead of being busy with a funeral, people were fighting over his estate.

The uncle had his eye on his niece's inheritance rights.

It quickly became the biggest joke in the world of traditional Chinese performing arts.

Jay Chou replied to Tian Xiaole, saying that it was a matter in the music industry and he could handle it himself.

Thinking about how arrogant he must have looked when he said that, as if it were nothing, Tian Xiaole smiled.

Having lived two lives, he is bound to become somewhat arrogant with his achievements today.

Jay Chou's current achievements, coupled with his ability to maintain a stable mindset, avoid arrogance and rudeness, and simply express his love for basketball, demonstrate remarkable humility.
