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

Chapter 248 Boiling Yangmi!
Tian Xiaole went back to Beijing Film Academy; it was time for him to graduate.

According to the requirements for graduate students, they must submit their graduation project before June next year.

He avoided trouble and directly submitted the report for "Pacific Rim".

"You're a Palme d'Or winner, what's the point of submitting a commercial film?"

Old Tian handed over a form and complained.

He had a deep-seated dream that he felt Tian Xiaole was the most likely to realize.

Having already won the Palme d'Or, the most difficult award to win, if they go to Venice to compete and the film is of good quality, the Golden Lion is basically guaranteed.

All that's missing is the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

Based on this, he has the potential to become a Chinese-language director who wins all three of Europe's highest honors.

This serves as a reminder to Tian Xiaole that with the explosion of commercial films, the rapid development of the domestic economy, and the swift awakening of the Chinese people's consciousness.

The prestige of awards at the three major European film festivals and international film festivals like the Oscars will gradually decrease, and domestic audiences will lose their fascination with them.

At least that's how it appears to the general public.

"Making an art film wouldn't be a bad idea, but I haven't been able to think of a suitable script for the time being."

Tian Xiaole thought for a moment and said.

The Berlin Film Festival favors avant-garde and political works, and in recent years, the Golden Bear has been awarded to works that have political metaphors and explore social issues in depth.

If he dares to film these things in China, no matter how much honor he receives, he will still be banned without question.

This is about the official's hat, not some bullshit Chinese film brand.

"If you want to win an award in Berlin, the subject matter is indeed a problem; you definitely can't touch it domestically."

Old Tian frowned, reminding him of painful memories from the past.

The current censorship is much more open than in the 1990s, but anyone who touches this area is doomed.

Jiang Wen wanted to tell a story, but he had to use four films to express it in a very metaphorical way.

"Then let's make foreign language films. There are plenty of topics about human rights and gender equality abroad. We should avoid domestic ones."

Old Tian gave his advice very seriously.

Neither of them mentioned going to Venice first. There's an unspoken rule in the three major European football tournaments that it's practically impossible to win a Grand Slam in one go.

Regardless of which two gold awards they win first, the rest of the film festivals will find a way to prolong the process.

But with Marco Müller in Venice, as long as they win the Golden Bear in Berlin first, Venice's actions will likely be more symbolic and won't go too far.

"I'll think about the subject matter carefully, and we'll decide what to film later."

Tian Xiaole handed over the form, and the graduation project she submitted was still "Pacific Rim".

With so little time, I don't even know what I'll be filming yet. I'll just submit it first. It would be awkward if I had to postpone my graduation.

Speaking of this topic, Lao Tian said with a sense of relief and a bit of schadenfreude, "It's a good thing I didn't choose Zhao Yanzi back then. She applied for a delayed graduation, which made Lao Li very angry."

"This person has time to film movies, but not time to film their graduation project. Is it because they're afraid of missing out on making money?"

Tian Xiaole smiled mockingly.

"Let's not talk about other people's business, let's talk about you. You need to change your meddlesome habit."

Old Tian glanced at Tian Xiaole, looking very troubled: "It's a good thing that you support the athletes, but why are you bringing up those unspoken rules? Every industry has its shady dealings."

"What, they're calling you here?"

Tian Xiaole was a little surprised and wondered if her phone was broken because it wasn't making any noise.

After the last incident, everyone knew that he had a bad temper, only responding to gentle persuasion and not force.

As a government department, how could we possibly speak softly? We could only ask Lao Tian to remind him not to say anything reckless.

Tian Xiaole is not a busybody, but he felt indignant for Liu Feiren, a man who made history, who was being attacked by a group of netizens who were blinded by their own minds.

How tragic this is.

·····
Yang Mi has been a bit down lately. She thought she had it all figured out for the role of Tang Xuejian, but Tangren informed her that her temperament didn't suit the role, while Zi Xuan would be a better fit for her.

During the audition, they kept saying they were a perfect fit for the character, but now they've suddenly changed their minds. After finding out who would be playing Tang Xuejian, I completely gave up hope.

Zhao Liying is someone who acts in Hollywood movies; anyone who tries to steal a role from her can only consider themselves unlucky.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​what a coincidence, I've run into you at school again."

Yang Mi waited in the sun for a long time, and when she saw Tian Xiaole, she came up to greet him with a smile.

She was surrounded by a group of students, most of whom were eager but lacked courage, while she acted like she knew everyone.

"It's quite a coincidence that I always run into you every time I come to Beijing Film Academy. Did you wait for me on purpose?"

Tian Xiaole said jokingly as she walked towards the parking area.

Yang Mi wasn't embarrassed at all when she was exposed, and readily admitted, "Senior Brother Tian's car is parked at school, and there are plenty of students who want to 'bump into' you."

"Then why is it always you?"

"Because I have thick skin," Yang Mi said with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment.

Tian Xiaole glanced at her and wondered if it was just her imagination, but her face didn't seem as square as before, and her jawline was much softer.

In August, the sun in the capital was scorching, and Tian Xiaole had no interest in chatting with Yang Mi under the blazing sun.

Despite wearing shorts, which revealed her long, fair legs.

But little did she know that long legs held little appeal for Tian Xiaole.

I'm getting a little tired of looking at Tang Yan's long, slender, and white legs every day.

However, Yang Mi is not a perfectly round pancake yet, so it's not impossible to play with her a bit.

Tian Xiaole opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, rolling down the window and looking at Yang Mi: "It's so hot outside, let's go home early."

Seeing that he didn't intend to invite her into the car, Yang Mi secretly grumbled, "He doesn't know how to be chivalrous," but she asked with a smile:
"Senior Brother Tian, ​​isn't Zhao Liying under your management supposed to be focused on movies? Why is she back to making TV dramas?"

"Oh, you mean [Chinese Paladin 3]? I'm the one who sent her there. With the previous works already established, this drama is bound to be a hit, and it'll boost her national popularity."

Tian Xiaole opened the car refrigerator, opened a bottle of iced cola, leaned against the car window, and enjoyed drinking it.

Yang Mi glared with wide eyes, her hatred palpable. "You think I'm standing right under the sun, pretending not to see you?"
He has absolutely no gentlemanly manners!
At this moment, she hated Cai Yinong even more, calling her "Mi Mi" over and over again. Tang Xuejian had already been chosen, yet she hypocritically asked her to audition and said she was very suitable.

This isn't about making a fool of her.

"If Junior Sister Yang has nothing else, I'll be going now."

Tian Xiaole's words brought Yang Mi back to reality: "Senior Brother Tian, ​​are you really not signing any actors?"

"Sign them, of course. We'll definitely sign actors with potential."

"Then I..."

Tian Xiaole shook her head, interrupting Yang Mi: "Forget about you, you still have a contract."

After saying that, he started the vehicle and drove away.

Yang Mi was left disheveled under the sun.

It's that bullshit contract restriction again.

Tian Xiaole greeted Old Zhang and drove out of the Beijing Film Academy gate. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Yang Mi's disappointed expression.

He didn't let her get on the bus because there were too many people around, and if word got out that the two of them were in the same bus, what would become of his reputation?

Regardless of what people in the industry think, at least the superficial appearances must be maintained.

Furthermore, Yang Mi's personality needs to be tempered; she's too opinionated and has her own agenda.

Only when she is isolated and helpless can she appear as a savior, making it easier to mold her into the shape she desires.

Tian Xiaole had high hopes, but little did she know that a pair of large eyes were watching them from the flowerbed not far away.

Seeing that Yang Mi wasn't allowed in the car, she finally smiled with relief, knowing she hadn't misjudged him.

To avoid suspicion, Brother Xiao Le actually made a girl stand in the sun.

He is really too self-disciplined.
