Chapter 212 My Identity Has Been Upgraded!
Domestically, in Anxian County, Chunshi City.

The film crew built a "Nanjing City" here, covering an area of ​​more than 600 acres.

As dawn broke, Lu Chuan was already awake, not because he was particularly dedicated, but simply because he couldn't sleep soundly.

He felt a sense of resentment, believing that he was no less capable than Tian Xiaole, whether in terms of awards or box office performance.

If it weren't for Tien Siu-le's meddling that caused him to miss out on the Golden Horse Award for Best Film, he would have won a major award himself.

Moreover, there are A-list film festivals, such as the Tokyo International Film Festival Jury Award.

The most dazzling director in China should be Lu Chuan; he should be the leader of the sixth generation of directors.

But Tian Xiaole stole the show from all of this.

Even female celebrities in the entertainment industry only have eyes for him, Tian Xiaole.

Thinking about everything that should have belonged to him, he couldn't sleep at all.

Lu Chuan took a liking to Qin Lan at first sight and wanted to develop a relationship with her as a couple on set, so they could relax and unwind after work.

Who would try to wink at a blind man? The hint was so obvious, yet he ignored it completely.

Lu Chuan was very annoyed that Tian Xiaole kept mentioning his name.

He looked at the script in his hand. If he filmed it according to the content, it would be a mediocre movie.

He wanted to revise it, adding some personal reflections, insights into human nature, and self-reflection on history...

He wants to downplay this part of history.

He wanted to help the audience who watched the film to abandon their hatred for their homeland.

Only in this way can his value be demonstrated, and only when the audience reflects on his actions can he show his sophistication.

As for the subsequent approval process, I have connections in higher-ups, so I can change it however I want.

Lu Chuan wanted to tell everyone that it wasn't that he was so great, but that he would definitely get back what he had lost.

This includes box office performance for commercial films and awards for art-house films.

Just as he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang, startling him.

There was a sense of shame about being caught red-handed, like secretly making a vow.

"Chairman Han...?"

“Yeah, it’s me.

There's an actress named Qin Lan. We'll film her scenes first, then Xiao Le has a project that specifically requested her.

"No, Mr. Han, why do you want her? There are so many actresses in the industry."

Lu Chuan became anxious and said indignantly, her suppressed voice revealing her extreme anger.

Why does Tian Xiaole want to make things difficult for him?

Qin Lan is someone he's set his sights on, and he's going to steal her away too?

"I guess it's because the role suits him," Han Sanping explained casually.

Should I tell him that it's her good fortune to be chosen by Tian Xiaole?

That would make him, the chairman of China Film Group, seem too conventional.

Qin Lan, who also got up early, checked her phone first. She had sent Tian Xiaole a half-joking text message yesterday, hoping to receive a reply.

If it weren't for meeting the renowned director Tian Xiaole at the event and exchanging contact information, I probably would have actually agreed to Lu Chuan's suggestion.

For an actress with no connections, finding a director boyfriend at least gives her a foothold in the industry.

If she becomes a director's wife, her status will be different.

Qin Lan was overjoyed to see the text message from Tian Xiaole and excitedly opened it.

Tian Xiaole: "Am I your father? Why should I help you? Unless you call me 'Dad'!"

Qin Lan's expression went from astonishment to disbelief, and finally to ecstasy.

With both hands firmly on the keyboard, afraid of missing this opportunity, she quickly typed two words and sent them:

"father!"

Having such a famous director as a father is something many actors can only dream of.

I never expected to lick myself.

The filter for Tian Xiaole isn't broken; there was nothing there to begin with, so how could it be broken?

Having been in the industry for several years, she knew exactly what kind of person the director was.

"Sis, the production assistant came to inform us that your scenes will be filmed in a concentrated period." The assistant knocked on the door and came in to say.

Qin Lan frowned, thinking that Lu Chuan was targeting her again.

Before she could ask any more questions, her phone rang, and her eyes lit up when she saw the caller ID.

"Director Tian...?"

On the other side, Tian Xiaole received a reply from Qin Lan; the child wasn't even born yet, and he was already a father. Although Tang Yan also liked to call him that, it was only during special occasions.

Tian Xiaole planned to have Qin Lan keep calling him "Dad" so she could get used to the title.

He looked at the time and called her, only to hear her call him "Director Tian," which made him frown.

What did you call me...?

Hearing Tian Xiaole's dissatisfied tone, Qin Lan waved to her assistant, and after the assistant left, she called out crisply:
"Dad! It's me, Lanlan."

"Hmm, not bad, keep it up."

Hearing this, Tian Xiaole nodded in satisfaction, too lazy to engage in any pretense with Qin Lan.

Since you've set your sights on it, just go for it.

In any case, the final result is to reach base; image and such can be established later.

"I've reserved a role for you in this movie. You should finish filming over there and come to Hollywood."

"Ah, Director Tian, ​​are you serious...?"

"Ok?"

Tian Xiaole snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Dad, is there really a role for Lanlan?"

Qin Lan quickly changed her tune.

"How could a father lie to his good daughter? This is for you to change your address."

"Thank you, Dad, thank you, Dad..."

Upon hearing the confirmation, Qin Lan was so excited that she thanked them repeatedly.

The assistant waiting outside the door was puzzled. When did he start talking to his father so affectionately on the phone? Before, his tone was always indifferent.

Qin Lan just wants to say, what's wrong with recognizing a father? She easily obtained an opportunity that other actors dream of.

Others might want to shout, but they haven't had the chance yet.

A few days ago, there was discussion on set and online about whether Chinese actors would appear in the movie Tian Xiaole was filming in Hollywood.

Netizens offered various speculations and even cited examples of actors they frequently collaborate with.

Without exception, they are all top-tier actors and celebrities.

Who would have thought that Qin Lan would benefit from this?

···
The news that Qin Lan had filmed her scenes intensively in just one afternoon, and that she had freed up time to participate in Tian Xiaole's new drama, spread like wildfire.

For a moment, the crew looked at Qin Lan with a mixture of jealousy, envy, and regret.

Gao Yuanyuan was somewhat indignant; this should have been hers.

Because she couldn't control herself, she was estranged from Tian Xiaole, and the "Ip Man" series was also halted due to her scandal.

It would be a lie to say I don't regret it. Not only has my reputation been ruined, but I'm also about to lose my job.

Soon, the news that Qin Lan would be starring in Tian Xiaole's new drama was learned by the media and reported by major portal websites.

Most netizens were puzzled: Who is Qin Lan? Where did this unknown actress come from?

What special skills do you have that make you stand out?
Some netizens have pointed out that she played Wu Zetian in the TV series "The Love Story of Tang Dynasty" and was one of the lead actresses in the movie "Nanjing".

Photos of Tian Xiaole and Qin Lan chatting animatedly at a meeting in Nanjing quickly appeared online.

The two chatted and laughed, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Actresses in the industry are all marveling at Qin Lan's incredible luck; a single act of striking up a conversation landed her with an opportunity that other actresses might never have in their entire lives.
Actresses like Fan Binbin and Zeng Li, who seem to be seeking favors through intimacy, have been quietly making comparisons with each other.

If you want to know where I'm inferior to Qin Lan, why did you choose to contact her?

The final conclusion: novelty!

···
Ever since James posted the announcement that he was casting for Tian Xiaole's new film, Pangu Pictures has been inundated with calls.

The fact that top Hollywood actors are not interested in low-budget commercial films does not mean they are not interested in Palme d'Or directors.

Get them recognized and build a solid foundation, in case you need them for art films in the future.

The influence of a Palme d'Or-winning director should not be underestimated.

“Ryan, you’re too expensive, and besides, this script isn’t suitable for you.”

"That's such a pity. I look forward to the day I can work with you. My acting skills are definitely worth my price."

"Haha, I heard that Hollywood scripts all go through you first. I believe we'll have a chance to work together someday."

Tian Xiaole chatted with Leonardo for a while and learned that he and Kate Winslet were collaborating again on the art film "Revolutionary Road" after "Titanic".

The director, Sam Mendes, is the female lead's husband, and the female lead has many passionate scenes in the film.

Tian Xiaole could only sigh, "What a professional director and a generous husband!"
