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

Chapter 220 A miraculous operation!
The production team for the film "[High Speed ​​Chase]" has completed preparations.

With the guild's assistance, all supporting roles, extras, and staff from various departments have been finalized and filming can begin at any time.

"Boss, the release date for 'The Purge' is set for Halloween, and the festive atmosphere strangely matches our film."

Tian Xiaole nodded, currently working on the filming plan for "High-Speed ​​Chase".

The production schedule is very tight. It is expected to be filmed in two months, with the remaining time for post-production. Ideally, it should be released early next year.

James continued, "The promotional efforts this time are much greater than for the first film, and Lionsgate is also very optimistic about our movie."

"If the box office exceeds 100 million, I'll give you a bonus."

Tian Xiaole looked up at James and offered him a rosy picture.

He was given a budget of ten million US dollars, but only six million was used, and the box office was on par with the first film. He should still be rewarded.

The diligence of cattle and horses is sustained by US dollars.

"Pass the word down, the crew will start filming tomorrow."

Upon hearing Tian Xiaole's instructions, James perked up, having long anticipated his boss personally directing the film.

When the movie is released, Pangu Pictures' brand awareness will reach a new level.

Immediately, the company will have two film series.

It's worth noting that many well-known Hollywood film studios only survive by having a film series.

Then James will no longer be limited to independent film circles and parties in Hollywood; he might even receive an invitation from the Big Six.

The promotional posters for "Humanity" were spread out wide by Lionsgate.

It's available offline in subways, buses, and shopping malls.

The trailer's viewership continues to break records on major online websites.

The horror gene lies hidden within everyone's heart; the indiscriminate killing of humans can arouse the desire to watch the film.

Lionsgate is quite cunning; in the screenwriter section, Tian Xiaole's name is listed higher than the director's and lead actor's.

In the hearts of North American audiences, if James Wan is the godfather of horror films, then he is the priest.

The psychological impact of the "Dead Silence" and "Annabelle" series.

The "Infiltrator" series, which has been announced as a project, is also highly anticipated.

In a sense, "The Purge" is also a horror film.

There is also a hierarchy of contempt in the film industry. Mainstream filmmakers in Europe and North America have criticized Tian Xiaole.

As a director with achievements in the arts, it's absurd that he would write scripts in the horror genre; it's a self-degrading act that shows a lack of regard for his reputation.

Tian Xiaole didn't care, as long as he could make money, he was fine with it. He just thought they were sour grapes.

After all, the return on investment for a horror movie is the highest among all film genres.

···
The Busan International Film Festival has opened, and many domestic film crews and actors have gone there. The movie channel even broadcast it live.

The opening film is "Assembly".

This was considered giving Feng Xiaogang enough face, allowing him to feel some sense of presence.

Previously, CJ's people had confidently claimed that there were prizes to be won in the "New World" event, but Tian Xiaole hadn't taken it seriously.

How big can an award really be?

The awards ceremony was held on the 12th.

The film won an audience award, which is equivalent to the most popular award at a film festival and is considered an honor.

When the presenter called out Tian Xiaole's name, Quan Zhixian accepted the award on his behalf.

Tian Xiaole didn't give any instructions; it was obviously arranged by Xijie. Could he be planning something?

After offering a standard expression of gratitude, Jeon Ji-han said in broken Chinese:
"Tian Xiaole oppa, your script is amazing."

Tian Xiaole, who was watching the live stream, looked puzzled. Even if it's great, does she have to say it on the live stream?

Could this be a task assigned by a chaebol?
Tian Xiaole sighed.

Now all the female celebrities in the Chinese and Korean entertainment industries know how great they are.

They're going to suffer a lot from now on.

When the live broadcast camera cut to the people in China, they all looked surprised. Was it really just because the script was good?

At the same time, I was thinking to myself, "The Koreans really know how to play games."

Domestic viewers watching the live stream got excited, with most shouting that Tian Xiaole was bringing glory to the country.

Hopefully, he'll discipline Little Stick with a stick.

A few people hid under the covers and cried, their savage goddess was surprisingly so proactive in private.

Tian the traitor is truly hateful!
But why do I envy him so much?
Seeing the flood of comments from netizens, Tian Xiaole shook her head helplessly, wondering when these kinds of scandalous news stories started to emerge.

With the popularization of the Internet, other websites followed suit after Leyu.com took the lead in exposing the scandals of celebrities.

It exposes the dirty side behind the seemingly glamorous entertainment industry.

It broke the prejudice against celebrities.

For most people, Tian Xiaole's scandals are just for fun, as long as he brings excellent film works.

While other big directors were competing to be the worst, Tian Xiaole became their only hope.

In particular, the approval of the "Pacific Rim" project and the resulting upgrade of the film and television industry have significantly boosted Tian Xiaole's reputation.

The stylist's design for Keanu Reeves' disheveled look perfectly suits his character after losing his wife.

He had shoulder-length short hair, sunken cheeks, and thick stubble, making him look somewhat unkempt.

His mental state resembles that of a middle-aged man who has lost his beloved and is filled with confusion about life.

"Keanu, the next scene we're filming might bring back some bad memories for you."

"Director, my professionalism is not a problem."

"it is good!"

"Act One, Shot One, Action!"

Keanu Reeves in the shot instantly brought to life the protagonist's complex inner turmoil of pain and struggle.

In the surveillance footage, Keanu sat dejectedly on the garden stairs, a large, overweight golden retriever lying beside him. This was his wife, leaving behind an inheritance that would serve as a vessel for their memories.

Keanu patted the dog's head, and the dog named Snoopy rubbed against his palm.

Jinze's fur and plump body show that its previous owner had taken good care of it.

····
The scenes filmed on the first day were Keanu Reeves' solo performance; there were no plans to film scenes for the other main actors.

Qin Lan stayed on set not only to adapt to the intensity of filming, but also to spend more time with Tian Xiaole.

They called each other "Dad" without really understanding each other, except for the time they spent driving the submarine. They also didn't seem to know each other very well, and they wondered what their relationship was like at work.

Qin Lan clearly understood her position and knew that if she wanted to cling to this powerful figure, she had to be a considerate and understanding daughter.

Sure enough, as soon as Tian Xiaole called "cut," she took out the throat-soothing tea she had prepared, unscrewed the cap, and handed it over.

Tian Xiaole didn't even glance at it, and said with a somewhat impatient expression:
"Put more effort into improving your spoken language. I don't want you to be unable to understand what other people's lines are when we're filming your scenes."

After saying that, he sat back in the director's chair and looked at the scene that had just been filmed on the monitor.

Tian Xiaole believes that acting is paramount, and Qin Lan, who doesn't focus on acting skills, wouldn't give her a friendly look.

If someone hinders the filming process, they should be kicked out of the crew without hesitation.

How much does a yacht cost?
It's impossible for the quality of the film to be lowered because of her personal reasons.

When the work was finished, Tian Xiaole had a completely different demeanor.

Qin Lan would relentlessly criticize Qin Lan for any shortcomings in her understanding of the script, constantly feeding her the necessary knowledge.

"Brother Le, could Ah Lan be a hidden villain?"

Tian Xiaole wasn't about to let Qin Lan get away with her provocation. She flipped over and pinned her down, then explained the role's positioning to her.

woo woo woo...

I was speechless, overwhelmed with knowledge.

After a heated discussion, the two curled up on the sofa and watched the live broadcast of the Golden Rooster Awards in China.

The event was held in Suzhou and was quite grand.

It's no wonder the Golden Rooster judges are so arrogant; the lineup of directors and celebrities who participated this time is truly impressive.

The cast and crew of "The Forbidden Kingdom", "Forever Enthralled", and "Lust, Caution"...

Zhang Yimou was busy with the Olympics, but Feng Xiaogang was stubborn and said he would never participate.

Tian Xiaole is not in China.

Even though Jiang Wen's film didn't register, he still attended the closing ceremony.
Lao Tian took the cast and crew of "Painted Skin" there for promotion.
Gao Qunshu also led the cast and crew of "The Eight Hundred" onto the red carpet.

Ning Hao also attended the wrap party for "Crazy Racer".

It was as if they had been given a mission; almost all the major domestic directors went, including Wang Anquan and Gu Changwei, who were not nominated.

Under Tian Xiaole's tutelage, Huang Bo has gained immense popularity in the past two years and is now among the top male actors in mainland China.

I served as a guest performer at the opening ceremony.

"Dad, this female singer sings so beautifully. I heard that's called dolphin voice."

Qin Lan nestled in Tian Xiaole's arms. In the live broadcast, Zhang Liangying sang three songs in a row, her voice indeed ethereal and melodious.

"His voice is really good, with bright high notes and mellow low notes."

Tian Xiaole couldn't understand it. Zhang Liangying had both looks and figure, so how did she only get third place?

Nowadays, netizens don't know how good Liang Ying is, and mistakenly treat Chun Chun as a treasure.

Tian Xiaole remembered that she was the original singer of the song "Painting Heart," and it was very popular.

Once Lao Tian finishes producing the song, it can be returned to its rightful owner, and then we can test her dolphin-like high notes.

"Dad, the awards haven't been presented yet, and you're already not going to watch?"

Qin Lan was covered by a large hand, and she said with a sob in her voice.

I was just disciplined twice, and my legs are still weak. I haven't recovered yet. Why is it happening again?

"The awards ceremony isn't interesting at all; it's not as fun as you doing it," Tian Xiaole said with a mischievous smile.

"But I am you..."

Before Qin Lan could finish speaking, her mouth was covered.

Looking down at the pleading, aggrieved eyes, Tian Xiaole wasn't sure if it was an act.

She straightened up, and indeed, she was different; her eyes were full of allure.

····
The next morning, on the way to the film set, Tian Xiaole read domestic news.

It was so lively!
They're all about last night's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

Best Actress: Liu Jialin, Yan Bingyan.

Best Directors: Yin Li, Qi Jian.

The biggest winner is [Yunshuiyao].

With this, Yin Li's film "The Knot" has won every major award in mainland China.

Tian Xiaole glanced at his profile. Damn, as expected, he was from a family of directors and the vice president of the Film Directors Guild.

Industry insiders dared not criticize this outcome, but netizens were not so forgiving.

It's all mocking Golden Rooster's behavior.

"Sit in a row, get some fruit, and make sure no one leaves empty-handed."

"No wonder films that won the Golden Lion and Golden Bear awards couldn't get nominated; it turns out they were making room for others."

Jiang Wen and Jia Zhangke, who attended the awards ceremony, also made some sarcastic remarks during their interviews.

In response to the backlash from the outside world, the Golden Rooster Organizing Committee and the China Film Association immediately held a press conference.

"The awards were determined through anonymous voting by 33 judges, so there was no 'pre-arranged' outcome. How many of those online comments actually demonstrate a true understanding of film art?"

They remained aloof and refused to comment on why the odd-numbered judges could produce a tie.

Tian Xiaole closed the webpage, shook his head with a smile, and said that if this continued, something terrible would happen sooner or later.
