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

Chapter 249 Bazaar Star Gala!

As soon as Tian Xiaole arrived at the office, Wang Jinsong called.

"Aren't you at school? Why don't you come sit here for a bit?"

"I'll come find you for tea next time I have time."

Tian Xiaole asked, "Old Wang, did you need something from me?"

"Have you found actors for your company's film 'Source Code' yet? A group of students are graduating this year and haven't even filmed many scenes yet."

Wang Jinsong, the vice dean of the performing arts department, is quite dedicated to his duties.

"Forget about this movie. Guo Fan is a new director. If we put a bunch of newcomers in his cast, will the movie even be able to be made?"

Tian Xiaole knew that day would come, so she could only politely decline.

Although this was the first time Lao Wang had asked, he had no choice but to refuse so that Guo Fan could devote more energy to filming rather than wasting it on the actors.

"It was my oversight, but if you have the chance, please take care of your junior colleagues in other production crews as well."

"Old Wang, you're giving me a hard time!"

The school's annual admissions process prioritizes looks over acting skills; if I want to hire them, they have to be presentable.

Ever since he served as the chief examiner last time, Tian Xiaole knew that the quality of admissions to the Beijing Film Academy would definitely decline year by year.

With so many people having connections, it will be virtually impossible to find a truly talented actor in the future.

"Hey~"

Wang Jinsong sighed. This was something he couldn't change on his own; it was all due to the complex web of interpersonal relationships. He could only make do with it.

"Shouldn't we just let them submit their resumes and audition themselves instead of going through back channels?"

"That's fine, as long as Guo Fan likes it."

·······
[Source Code] The male and female leads were predetermined, but many actors still set their sights on other roles.

During this period, Guo Fan experienced the benefits of sudden fame.

Various minor celebrities sent invitations, some with very suggestive hints, others bold and direct, even giving him their room numbers.

Mainland talent agencies and top-tier celebrity agents all call him "Director Guo" with utmost respect, their mouths practically dripping with honey.

Tian Xiaole will definitely nurture a director who has signed a ten-year contract, so it's always good to build a good relationship at this time.

Wang Luodan is feeling down lately. She's the only artist in the company who's not doing much work, and most of the scripts offered to her are urban dramas. She doesn't want her career to keep regressing.

She suspected that her ally, Zhao Liying, might have secretly gone to Tian Xiaole's bed behind her back.

They actually specifically named her to star in "Chinese Paladin 3," so they must really think highly of this TV series.

She was relieved only after confirming with her best friend and ally several times that she hadn't been cheating on her.

dong dong dong...

"Enter."

Wang Luodan pushed open the office door and happily threw herself into Tian Xiaole's arms, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

She plopped down in his lap, knowing her own weakness, and deliberately rubbed against him.

Her fair and slender arms were affectionately wrapped around Tian Xiaole's neck. She tilted her meticulously made-up face upturned and said in a sweet voice:

"Brother Le, you haven't come to see me in a long time."

Tian Xiaole chuckled and pinched her chin, teasingly saying:
"If you really want to, go find a slipper and slap it a couple of times."

"Brother Le, you're so mean, always teasing people."

Wang Luodan nestled in Tian Xiaole's arms, looking pitiful, but her hands started to wander.

She has to fight for everything she wants.

After all, they were already very familiar with the process.

At this moment, Shu Chang, accompanied by Song Zuer, knocked on the door and came in.

"Is there a problem?"

Tian Xiaole moved her chair forward, blocking Wang Luodan's body under the table.

"Director Tian, ​​there's a child actor in [Source Code] who doesn't have any lines. I'd like to recommend my cousin for the role; she's a child star and she'd be perfect for it."

Shu Chang noticed Tian Xiaole's expression, seeing his furrowed brows, and assumed he was dissatisfied with her acting on her own initiative.

"Go and audition Guo Fan; let him decide for himself whether he's suitable."

After dismissing the two men, Tian Xiaole returned to his office chair.

As Song Zuer walked to the office door, she inexplicably turned around and saw a head popping out from under the desk, which startled her so much that she quickly went outside.

·····
Tang Yan hasn't been idle in China; she's hired a professional physical training team and is training hard every day.

"Lucy" is a one-woman show for her; it looks glamorous on the surface, but she's under a lot of pressure.

Her performance largely determines the film's success.

This is a $2500 million investment.

After appearing in Bazaar and garnering envious glances, I'll head to Hollywood.

"Sister Tang, Bazaar has invited you to attend their charity gala press conference. How should we respond?"

Tang Yan felt uncomfortable as her sweat-soaked hair clung to her face. She stepped off the treadmill, her face flushed and slightly out of breath.

"Of course I'll go to the charity event; I'll tell them I'll be there on time."

This year marks the sixth annual Bazaar Charity Night. This year is particularly special, as a press conference was held before the event to encourage philanthropists in the industry to participate.

The location is the Boyue Hotel, which is also where the banquet will be held two days later.

When Tang Yan arrived, she caught the eye of the reporters present that evening; she was a big fish.

Su Mang took the initiative to stand up and led her to sit down in the main seat.

Liu Yifei and Chen Kun were also present at the press conference. The three nodded to each other as a greeting.

Chen Kun appealed for attention to the reconstruction of the disaster area and showcased the charity T-shirts he designed. All proceeds from the sale of these shirts will be used for the reconstruction of the disaster area.

Liu Yifei is very emotional; when she talked about the disaster area, her eyes welled up with tears, and she burst into tears on the spot.

When it was Tang Yan's turn, her voice became a little hoarse due to Liu Yifei's emotional state.

She didn't say much emotionally; on a whim, she donated her $60 salary from the movie "Lucy".

Tear~
There was a collective sound of people gritting their teeth; that's over four million!
Some reporters have already started comparing: besides Jiang Wen, which other actors in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan can earn such high salaries?

Su Mang originally wanted to take the lead at the scene and personally donate 5 yuan, but now she is too embarrassed to say it.

After the press conference ended, Tang Yan and Liu Yifei, who had grown fond of each other, started chatting.

The conversation started with Hollywood filming methods and then moved on to hobbies. The two became increasingly compatible and felt like they had known each other for a long time.

Before getting into the nanny van, the two exchanged contact information and were already planning to have a meal together.

······
Reporters acted quickly, and among the reports on Olympic athletes, the news about the charity press conference stood out.

Actress Tang Yan donated her $60 salary from the movie "Lucy"...

"Tang Yan has become the highest-paid actress in China..."

Actress Liu Yifei shed tears on set, praying for the disaster area...

"..."

The entertainment industry quickly took notice of the news, expressing surprise that Tang Yan could receive such a high salary.
You still need to break into Hollywood; that would increase your value several times over.

When the reports about Liu Yifei first came out, her fans felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to see their goddess upset.

But soon, another wave of controversy arose.

They said things like Liu Yifei was using the disaster area to gain attention and that her crying was fake.

It seems they can't stand seeing Liu Yifei's public image improve even slightly.
Tang Yan belatedly realized that she had given away 400 million yuan in a moment of sentimentality, and felt a little heartache.

This is her first income in nearly two years.

Even if the payment is not yet complete.

Seeing Tian Xiaole taking care of Xiaotian Xin in the yard, her attention was not focused at all. She was reading a booklet in her hand, her feet on the stroller, and gently pushing it.

Tang Yan quietly walked over, covered his eyes from behind, and said in a high-pitched voice:

"Guess who I am?"

"I don't know who you are, but if you don't let go, someone's butt is going to get a bloody nose."

Tian Xiaole threatened in a sinister tone.

"Hmph~

What kind of skill is it to fan someone with your hand? If you're so capable, why not slam them in?

Tang Yan raised her head slightly and looked over defiantly.

Tian Xiaole ignored the look of selection; ramming was definitely not an option, as killing a thousand enemies would also result in losing eight hundred of his own.

He handed over the auction catalog sent by Bazaar: "Here, take a look, see if there's anything you like."

Tang Yan didn't look at it immediately, and said somewhat hesitantly, "Brother Le, I donated all of my salary from [Lucy]."

"Just donate, why are you asking me about such a small thing?"

Tian Xiaole didn't even look up, just stared at the sleeping Tian Xin, occasionally smacking her lips, looking very cute.

"Hehe, Brother Le, you're so nice."

Tang Yan smiled foolishly, instantly forgetting that she had just felt heartbroken, and opened the booklet in her hand.

There are calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, luxury goods, jewelry, haute couture gowns, limited edition bags...

Tang Yan's eyes lit up; no woman could resist such exquisite items.

"Brother Le, can I choose either one?"

"Well, consider this an award for you."

"Then I don't want it. I can take pictures of what I want myself."

Tang Yan pouted. Tian Xiaole's words still treated their relationship as a transaction.

She wouldn't give up so easily, or be satisfied with just a few things. What she wanted was a formal title.

"I have a villa in Xishan, let's transfer the ownership to your name."

Tian Xiaole had Chen Zhixi buy three sets beforehand, one for entertainment and leisure, and the results of the modification had already been tested.

I haven't seen the other two units yet, but they are quite large.

"Hmph, I'll buy the house myself, I don't need you to deliver it."

Tang Yan, being quite arrogant, pushed the stroller away from the garden.

She didn't want her precious daughter to be seen by certain unfaithful men; she had to be recognized as the rightful wife.

·······
"Xiao Le, what are your thoughts on the premiere? If this movie makes a splash in China, it could potentially reach $3 million worldwide."

Han Sanping called Tian Xiaole to say that he wanted to hold the premiere of "Extreme Chase".

"Uncle Han, let's skip the event and just let it be shown normally."

"Okay, but you'll have to cooperate with the publicity."

"That's fine."

Tian Xiaole agreed, as it concerned his own interests. The film was imported through a batch distribution program, and the box office revenue would be distributed according to the revenue-sharing process.

20 number.

The first Hollywood film of the summer season, The Incredible Hulk, has been released.

In the first three days, they seemed to be struggling to adapt, only managing to achieve a score of over 20 million.

The Bazaar Charity Gala will be held tonight, the 22nd.

Judging from the photos and videos circulating online, this year's scale far exceeds that of last year.

Whether it's the number of big names involved or the list of attendees,

The event was attended by a host of A-list actors and stars, as well as several renowned directors from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Although it's presented as a charity gala, competition will inevitably arise wherever there are people of the same sex.

Moreover, the competition among celebrities who need exposure is even more intense.

Tonight is destined to be a stage for fame and fortune, where everyone vie for attention.

Tang Yan was busy choosing a dress again. Unlike the previous occasions, tonight all the glamorous and sassy girls would definitely dress themselves up beautifully.

After considering several dresses, Tang Yan chose a black strapless long dress.

Paired with a Tffany & Co. high-grade sapphire necklace, it accentuates her fair skin and beautiful features, showcasing her noble and elegant temperament.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

Tang Yan's eyes sparkled as she circled in front of Tian Xiaole, hoping to hear praise.

"Well, not bad."

Tian Xiaole wasn't disappointed and nodded seriously.

"Then let's go."

Tang Yan lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand and linked her other arm with Tian Xiaole's, while her assistant held up the hem of her skirt behind her.

·······
The Boyue Hotel has been booked out for tonight and will not be accepting any regular guests.

The banquet was styled like an awards ceremony, with the red carpet extending from the hotel lobby all the way outside, ensuring that guests could step onto the red carpet as soon as they got out of their cars.

Due to the special nature of the banquet, no media were invited today.

If such an extravagant process were reported, and it were done under the guise of donating to disaster relief, netizens would be furious.

Actors are truly oblivious to the sorrow of a fallen nation.

Guided by the greeter, the car stopped at the hotel entrance. Tian Xiaole got out of the car first, and then helped Tang Yan out.

A pair of black high heels stepped out of the car first, revealing her long, slender, snow-white legs.

Immediately afterwards, with Tian Xiaole's help, Tang Yan got out of the car.

Outside the red carpet, the event's founder, Su Mang, and her staff greeted the crowd.

"Director Tian, ​​Tangtang, welcome to Bazaar. Is this your first time here?"

"Yes, it's my first time here."

Tian Xiaole said indifferently that he was indifferent to this kind of extravagant and ostentatious world of fame and fortune that used charity as a pretext.

Su Mang wanted to get closer to him. With a big director like Tian Xiaole in attendance, celebrities would come and give money without even being invited.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, I could only stop the conversation.

"You two are welcome to come often in the future. Please come in."

Led by staff, Tian Xiaole and Tang Yan arrived at the banquet hall. In the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune, status is clearly divided.

Several famous directors and film company owners sat at a large round table, their positions quite loose.

The further back you go in the line, the more people sit at the tables, and you can easily bump elbows without even noticing.

Of these third- and fourth-tier celebrities, only a minority donated money; they were all looking for opportunities.

She meticulously dressed up, hoping to catch the eye of a famous director or bigwig, who would then support her.
