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

Chapter 209 Tang Yan is pregnant!

The efficiency of [Painted Skin] has improved considerably.

With the addition of Lionsgate's visual effects team, a significant number of personnel were spared to handle the post-production work here.

Lao Tian was very dedicated to this film, spending all his free time at Xiaole Film Studio in addition to his substitute teaching duties.

"You, the screenwriter, come and take a look. Are there any differences between the scenes and your description?"

Seeing Tian Xiaole come in, Lao Tian pointed to the completed special effects and said.

"With you overseeing the quality, it will only get better."

Sitting in the seat offered by an employee, Tian Xiaole smiled and offered a compliment.

But his hands weren't idle; he was moving the mouse, dragging it out once.

It's not that I'm worried about Lao Tian's cooking skills, but I'm afraid his ideas will be too unconventional and he'll add some messy scenes.

After all, a director who can film scenes of fighting on horseback is no pushover.

These directors from the fifth generation all have wild hearts; they would never follow the rules and make films step by step.

The special effects are of good quality and are more than enough for a film like "Painted Skin" that relies on its plot.

"There's something I need to tell you..."

After much hesitation, Tian Xiaole finally told Lao Tian about her plans to have a baby.

So that one day, Tian Xiaole might bring people back and be overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of his newfound power, and end up being disciplined by his father.

"Come to my office."

The two left the special effects department and went to Lao Tian's office.

This was arranged by Chen Zhixi.

Considering that I often oversee post-production at the company and it would be inconvenient not having an office, I was assigned to a position next to the post-production team.

Tian Xiaole was very satisfied with Chen Zhixi's arrangement. As long as it wasn't next door, it was fine. If they got into the mood and did it in the office, he wouldn't have to worry about making too much noise.

挞！
Old Tian lit a cigarette and waited for Tian Xiaole to speak first.

Smoking without letting the smoke dissipate is just not polite!

Tian Xiaole pondered for a moment, trying to figure out how to bring it up, since it wasn't exactly something to be proud of.

But then I thought about it again, and Lao Tian wasn't a good person either. Didn't he always use filming as an excuse to sleep with the leading actress and play around with women?

The Tian family father and son have one thing in common: they don't take advantage of others for free.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaole glanced at Old Tian, who was already shrouded in smoke, and felt much more at ease. He slowly spoke:

"Ahem~

Grandma is getting old, so I'm planning to let her hold her grandson for a while and enjoy some family time.

"You've finally figured it out! I was just about to tell you about this..."

Old Tian was pleased, but halfway through his sentence, he realized something was amiss: "I haven't heard you have a girlfriend, so you're going to marry...?"

"You don't have to get married to have children."

Tian Xiaole shrugged.

Old Tian paused, his eyes squinting from the smoke, his cloudy eyes gleaming with a sharp light:

"I think you're just trying to shirk responsibility and don't want to be accountable to others."

"If you think so, then I can't help it."

Tian Xiaole shrugged, using the fairy-like analogy to brush it off, then added confidently:

"Marriage will only stifle my intelligence. Besides, I will bear no less responsibility, and I have already thought of a compensation plan."

Regardless of Tang Yan's motives—whether she wanted to give Tian Xiaole a home, wanted to gain status through her son, or valued his identity—none of these matters.

A woman in her prime, as beautiful as a flower, is willing to give up her legs and her belly without any status or recognition.

It would be a lie for Tian Xiaole to say she wasn't moved.

If she likes being a star, then let her walk the red carpet and receive cheers from fans.

Let her stand in the spotlight and shine.

It also serves as a benchmark for aspiring actresses.

Not only can she become a proud mother, but she can also achieve a thriving career.

Where else in the entertainment industry can you find such a great opportunity?

That is, Tian Xiaole is willing to work hard and endure hardship.

"Oh, whatever."

Old Tian sighed, blaming himself for not setting a good example.

Before the ban on directing, the pursuit of cinematic art was the top priority, and emotions only served to enrich life.

After being banned from directing, he became depressed and took a very detached view of matters between men and women.

This has led to me remaining single.

In recent years, many actresses have flocked to the industry, including some young actresses and students from the Beijing Film Academy.

They were all rejected.

When people reach a certain age, they start to focus on health and wellness.

Old Tian was very supportive of having children, after all, the old lady was indeed getting old.

As for whether or not he gets married, he doesn't care.

Tian Xiaole is not young anymore, so it's normal for him to have his own ideas. After all, he was young once too, and he just wants to have fun for a few more years.

As long as the grandchildren are my own, I don't care about anything else.

···
Tian Xiaole boarded a plane bound for America. The revolution was not yet successful, and comrades still needed to work hard.

As for why Tang Yan wasn't allowed to return, the main reason was to maintain secrecy.

With the rise of paparazzi in China and journalists often operating with impunity, it's inevitable that some clues will be uncovered.

Tian Xiaole is a model of righteousness and integrity in the entertainment industry. How could he have a wife, children, and elderly parents at home while having affairs on the side?

The best way is that even if it's discovered, it will only be that a female celebrity has a child out of wedlock, but the father of the child is unknown.

On the plane, Tian Xiaole scrolled through the news to pass the time.

Fan Binbin's studio has opened, and it's quite a big deal.

Representatives from many film and television companies attended, and a considerable number of reporters and media personnel were also present.

Fan Binbin lit up the neon sign with a crystal cane, announcing the official opening of her studio.

She also announced on the spot that the TV series "Rouge Snow," in which she would serve as producer, executive producer, and lead actress, would be officially approved.

Directed by Teng Wenyi, starring Huo Jianhua...

Jay Chou's self-written, self-directed and self-acted film "Secret" has been released.

The presence of "Initial D" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" proves the strength of the fans' support.

This has garnered significant attention within the industry for the film.

Hopefully, this fan-oriented film will surprise audiences at the box office and provide valuable lessons for celebrities with large fan bases.

The opening day box office was indeed impressive, reaching 600 million, once again demonstrating Jay Chou's box office appeal.

While the promotional campaign for "Rush Hour 3" is in full swing in North America, news from China has dampened the enthusiasm of the creators.

China Film Group has confirmed that this film will not be imported into China.

The reason given is very practical: there are too many imported films this year, and there are no more slots available.

"That sounds nice, but I'm not optimistic about the box office."

Tian Xiaole shook his head, guessing that Cheng Long must feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

His home base is in China, and this is a slap in the face for him.

After the huge financial loss of "Around the World in 80 Days," this series was his way of proving his box office appeal and regaining his status in Hollywood.

To be honest, Tian Xiaole didn't understand China Film Group's move.

Chinese actors already face difficulties in Hollywood, and now they're causing trouble and embarrassing situations. I'm afraid they've offended someone.
However, it received support from netizens who took a different approach.

They said that even if it's not imported back to China, people can still watch and support it because there will definitely be pirated resources in China.

Such comments, which are perfectly normal in China, were forwarded to foreign media and were seen as outrageous by them.

Upon landing in Los Angeles, I indeed spotted Tang Yan's beautiful figure, waving from afar.

She wore a cartoon-patterned t-shirt and jeans, which showed off her long, straight legs, and a pair of black sunglasses.

"Brother Le, you're back!"

Tang Yan came forward and said in a clear voice.

"Let's talk about it after we get in the car."

Tian Xiaole tossed the backpack to James and got into the back seat of the car, followed closely by Tang Yan who squeezed in afterward.

James felt a bit superfluous, so he put his bag on the passenger seat, started the car, and drove towards Beverly Hills.

"Boss, your country doesn't pay enough attention to film and television copyrights, and actually allows piracy to spread."

Tian Xiaole had just landed and was unaware of the news, Tang Yan added:

"The talk of piracy of 'Rush Hour 3' on the Chinese internet has been reported by the BBC and has caused quite a stir in Hollywood."

Although what he said was true, Tian Xiaole explained it very seriously:
"Relevant departments have always been cracking down on piracy, but the public's awareness of copyright protection is still relatively weak. As the internet matures, intellectual property protection will become more and more comprehensive..."

While such reports may have the potential to smear, there is absolutely no way to defend them.

The Chinese internet is in a stage of unregulated development, and relevant laws are not yet perfect, leading to rampant piracy, which has severely impacted the film and television industry. Protecting legitimate intellectual property rights will require time.

Realizing he had said something wrong, James changed the subject, saying:

"Boss, Annabelle has grossed over $100 million worldwide, and Lionsgate is hosting a celebration party..."

"I'm here on personal business. You can handle the rest."

Looking at Tang Yan, who was shyly lowering her head, and touching her still undeveloped belly, Tian Xiaole remembered something:
"I have a script in my bag. Remember to register it with the guild before you leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two people in the car were overjoyed and said in unison, "Brother Le (boss), is this the movie you're going to film next?"

James was very excited. If Tian Xiaole made a foreign language film, it would definitely be under the name of Pangu Pictures, which would immediately raise the company's profile in Hollywood to another level.

As the public figure in charge and the company's producer, he has more influence in Hollywood.

Tang Yan was excited because she wanted to star in Tian Xiaole's movie, preferably filmed in Hollywood.

His only directorial work is a foreign-language film, The Shallows, which was a global box office hit and made the female lead an overnight sensation.

"This kind of subject matter is too thin, so I may not direct it myself."

Tian Xiaole shook his head and looked at Tang Yan, saying, "The script was prepared for you; consider it a reward."

"Oh, this was prepared for me?"

Tang Yan was somewhat surprised, pointed to herself, and saw Tian Xiaole nod.

In that instant, she had already made up her mind: tonight she would use all the skills she had learned to ensure a perfect kill on the first try.

Ignoring the moving vehicle, Tang Yan half-squatted up to get the bag from the passenger seat, wanting to know what it would be like to prepare a script for her.

"[Super Body]!"

Looking at the large characters on the cover, Tang Yan unconsciously read them aloud. The title didn't reveal the subject matter, but with anticipation, she opened it and began to read.

The script tells the story of a woman who is tricked by her boyfriend, kidnapped by a South Korean gang, and has illegal drugs implanted in her body...

By a twist of fate, the drug merges with the female protagonist's body, beginning a story of a human becoming a god.

James parked the car steadily in the parking space, and Tang Yan didn't even notice, watching intently.

"Get off the bus first, and we'll check it when we get back."

Tian Xiaole reminded him to open the bag he had brought and hand James the English version of the script for "Lucy," telling him to register with the Writers Guild.

The two assistants prepared food, and Tian Xiaole was actually quite hungry. No matter how exquisite the airplane food was, the taste was really not that great.

"Brother Le, this script is perfect for me."

After reading the script in the living room, Tang Yan jogged to the dining room and hugged Tian Xiaole from behind, feeling a softness against her back.

Uh uh uh……

Suddenly, Tang Yan belched.

Tian Xiaole patted her back and asked with concern, "Did you eat something bad? I'll take you to the hospital to get it checked out."

They were all ready to unleash their full power tonight, and now look what's going on.

Tang Yan paused for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital."

Just then, an uncertain voice rang out: "Is it pregnant?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Tian Xiaole looked up at his assistant Liu Li, who was in her early twenties and indeed quite experienced in this area.

He then turned to look at Tang Yan, and said somewhat uncertainly, "How about we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"Ah."

This time, Tang Yan obediently nodded.

···
Capitalist healthcare is the epitaph of the poor; you might wait in line until you die and never see a doctor.

This is an industry that serves the wealthy.

Driven by the money Tian Xiaole received, she was able to get a consultation with a specialist without making an appointment or queuing.

Tian Xiaole stared at the doctor named Maria, who was the most authoritative expert in the obstetrics and gynecology department of this medical center.

It was as if a clue could be gleaned from her expression.

What this elderly white woman said was:

"Oh, congratulations to you two, you're going to be parents."

boom! ! !
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaole froze on the spot, her mind blank.

Despite working day and night, and contributing billions every night.

But when the results actually came, my mind went completely blank.

Because I had never experienced this before, I was a little at a loss for what to do.

Tang Yan wasn't much better off.

She held Tian Xiaole's hand, her expression a mix of confusion and anticipation.

This situation continued until they returned to the villa in the mountain resort.

Tian Xiaole recovered earlier and, as a father with no experience whatsoever, is now searching for precautions.

Farmland was definitely out of the question; the doctor specifically warned me about that when I left.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child," so we'll just have to wait and see!
"Brother Le, what's a good name for the baby?"

Tang Yan leaned on Tian Xiaole's shoulder, her hand unconsciously stroking her belly, radiating maternal warmth.

"Hmm, I'll think about it for a while."

Tian Xiaole hasn't decided yet. (Dear readers, please help me think of something!)
···
Over the course of several days, Tang Yan's morning sickness became more and more frequent, and she became listless and dispirited.

All Tian Xiaole could do was spend a lot of money to hire a medical team to come to her home for regular check-ups.

We hired a nutritionist because pregnant women need balanced nutrition to meet both their own and the fetus's needs, while avoiding excess or deficiency.

That's incredibly thoughtful.

"Brother Le, you're so good to me, I'd be willing to stay pregnant with your child forever."

Tang Yan listened to Tian Xiaole's arrangements and just stared at him, her love-struck mind taking over.

Tian Xiaole smiled, flicked her nose, and whispered in her ear:

"Give birth to this baby first, then we'll see how you behave."

"Yes, I'm really looking forward to meeting our baby."

Tang Yan snuggled into Tian Xiaole's arms and found a comfortable spot to lie down.

She enjoys this time, and this way of getting along is like being a family.

She has such a considerate husband who is also so talented and attentive to her.

Even if she bore him a whole litter of children, Tang Yan would still feel happy.

Tian Xiaole changed her sitting position to make her more comfortable and started reading domestic news.

The movie "Secret" had a strong start but a weak finish, grossing only 2000 million yuan in its first three days.

It grossed 2600 million in ten days.

Daily box office revenue has dropped to 40.

Tian Xiaole sent Jay Chou a comforting message and cited her own experience as an example.

His first film, "Crazy Supermarket," was released in 2003 and grossed over 20 million at the box office.

His second film, "The Coffin in the Mountain," won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes.

The third film, also a romance, titled "Love Like a Bouquet," grossed over 60 million at the box office and became a huge hit on the movie "Little Days."

"..."

"Brother Le, you're so mean."

Upon seeing the text message edited by Tian Xiaole, Tang Yan said something mean, but her eyes sparkled.

"Lie down."

Tian Xiaole pinched her cheek and said.

[The Trigger] During the promotion, the fight scenes were described as realistic and intense, and MMA fighting techniques were introduced for the first time. In short, the fight scenes were touted as something extraordinary.

The film grossed 20 million yuan in its first six days of release.

Compared to the investment cost of over 70 million, this figure already indicates a huge loss.

The poor box office performance of the film did not dampen the cheerful mood of everyone at Yinghuang.

Zhang Baizhi gave birth to a son for Prince Yinghuang, and Yang Shoucheng happily became his godfather.

The news on portal websites is full of photos of Hong Kong celebrities sending blessings and visiting each other.

"They are such a happy family!"

Tang Yan looked at the photos on the portal website and said with emotion.

Nicholas Tse was wearing sunglasses and holding a baby in his arms.

Cecilia Cheung was also wearing sunglasses and was holding Nicholas Tse's arm.

It certainly looks like the real thing.

"Am I happy? Not necessarily! Only time will tell."

Tian Xiaole smiled and scrolled to the next news article.
