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

Chapter 255 Zhao Liying's Invitation to Visit the Set!
Gao Yuanyuan is currently in a dilemma. After filming wrapped up for "Nanjing," she has been staying at home with nothing to do.

Last year, both of her relationships were embroiled in controversies involving third parties, which subjected her to considerable gossip.

This led other film crews to actively exclude her when casting actors, in order to avoid affecting the film's reputation.

I thought that the reboot of "Ip Man" would be announced by the production team, but so many days have passed and there is still no news.

She subconsciously thought that the role she was playing had been recast.

buzzing...

When the phone rang, Gao Yuanyuan's heart jumped into her throat as she saw it was Tian Xiaole calling, but she also felt a sense of anticipation.

"Director Tian?"

"it's me.

The production team for "Ip Man 3" is currently in pre-production, so you need to allocate your time. Also, I don't want your personal affairs to negatively impact the film's reputation, understand?

"Director Tian, ​​I promise it won't happen again."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded immediately. Although Tian Xiaole couldn't see her, she still had to show her attitude.

The two had a lot in common and would become soulmates.

Unexpectedly, Tian Xiaole and those who talk about art but are actually thinking about that kind of thing are actually quite different.

"Director Tian, ​​could you recommend a reading list for the books you've been reading lately?"

Gao Yuanyuan knew very well that if she didn't take the initiative to start a conversation, Tian Xiaole would hang up the phone immediately.

She didn't want to end the call so soon; perhaps she could return to that night of deep conversation.

I recommend the Tao Te Ching to you; I hope it will inspire you.

Tian Xiaole casually remarked that once a bicycle has been pedaled, no matter how high-end the configuration, there's no need to spend time maintaining it.

Besides, he doesn't lack a vehicle.

Gao Yuanyuan misunderstood, thinking that Tian Xiaole was mocking her for being immoral and having problems with her private life.

"Even you think I'm a very casual person?"

Hearing the choked voice on the other end of the phone, Tian Xiaole was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.

He didn't want to waste his time trying to win over a woman, especially one with a pretentious, artsy personality.

He said impatiently, "I know you're definitely not a casual person."

"Brother Le, you really understand me. Can I still ask you for advice on reading in the future?"

Tian Xiaole neither refused nor agreed to Gao Yuanyuan's invitation.

When you want to eat vegetarian food, it's a good way to change things up.

As for their earlier discussion of the Tao Te Ching, the two chose to ignore it.

If we're really going to be serious, whose morality can really be that high?

·······
This year's National Day film season was very sluggish.

With no films by big-name directors being released, moviegoers' enthusiasm for watching movies is not high.

This is the worst National Day holiday film season in recent years.

The discussions on major forums are still focused on the Pacific Rim, which is four months away.

The 60-second trailer not only brought joy to moviegoers like it was Chinese New Year, but also gave a shot in the arm to domestic special effects.

Several special effects companies or studios were established one after another, and the number of film and television professionals seeking consultation also increased.

The digital special effects industry is thriving.

But Tian Xiaole knew that all of this was just a castle in the air.

There are very few film projects in China that require special effects; if you can't get any work, you'll slowly die out.

"Boss, these are several factories that meet the requirements."

"Will the model production be able to keep up with the movie's release?"

Tian Xiaole asked the question that concerned her the most.

He asked Chen Zhixi to find a machinery manufacturing plant to produce Pacific Rim model merchandise.

This is a huge market; if managed well, the profits can be even greater than the box office revenue.

Moreover, the cycle is long.

Despite the $8 million box office revenue of "Transformers" worldwide, the toy market earned even more, and that portion of the profits was the largest.

"These are the top car manufacturers in the country. They have agreed to set aside a production line to produce them, and the first batch will definitely be ready before the movie is released."

This speed is a bit slow, but it's still acceptable.

"Let BYD and FAW Group handle the manufacturing; they happen to have extensive experience in mechanical manufacturing."

Tian Xiaole opened the drawer and took out the design blueprints for the first generation of four mechs.

【Red Whirlwind】is predominantly red, without a doubt, with yellow lines as accents; violence is its defining characteristic.

【Flame Fangs】is predominantly light red with gray accents, giving it a cool and aloof feel.

The 【Undying Blade】is predominantly dark blue, accented with touches of black and silver, highlighting the coldness of steel.

The Great General is primarily made of bronze and black, drawing inspiration from the armor of ancient generals, giving it a strong sense of oppression.

The blueprints are very detailed, showing what the internal space should look like and how the weapons should be constructed.

"Have the factory manufacture it according to the blueprints. The second-generation mech will be given to you later."

Tian Xiaole handed over a thick stack of blueprints, with detailed parameters for each mecha marked out.

The heights of the various mechs are different.

The height is uniformly 1.7 meters, the arm length is 1.87 meters, and the weight is controlled at around 55 kilograms.

This product is primarily targeted at the adult market.

There's also a mini version, which is designed for children, who are the main consumers.

Ning Hao solicitously invited Tian Xiaole to dinner.

When it was time for the bad monkey, Xing Aina prepared a table full of dishes.

"What day is it today? Five dishes and a soup, and they're all main dishes."

"You're being narrow-minded. Your sister-in-law and I usually eat like this; this is just a casual meal."

Xing Aina glared at Ning Hao. "Things have only gotten a little better in the last two years, and he's already bragging."

She looked at Tian Xiaole and said, "Xiaole, sit down quickly and try your sister-in-law's cooking."

"Alright, then I won't be polite." Tian Xiaole picked up a piece of Baoding's famous dish, chicken offal, took a bite, and found it tender and juicy.

"I discussed it with Han Sanye and we decided to release 'Crazy Racer' at the end of the month instead of in early December, when it will avoid the release of Director Chen's 'Mei Lanfang'."

Ning Hao was very excited, as he was in complete control of the film and also invested the majority of the money in it.

"Well, I hope you can take down Director Chen."

"Haha, thanks for your kind words, let's have a toast."

Xing Aina slapped Ning Hao on the back: "Xiao Le can say such things, but you can too?"

Ning Hao smiled awkwardly. At least Director Chen had half a Palme d'Or, while he had nothing.

Furthermore, Director Chen is not someone he can afford to offend, given that he's a director without any connections.

He's known in the industry for holding grudges.

"Xiao Le, here's a notebook for you to see."

"Let's check after we finish eating. Are you worried they'll run away since they're right here?"

After Xing Aina yelled at him, Ning Hao obediently sat back down on the stool.

Tian Xiaole found it somewhat amusing; he hadn't expected Ning Hao to act like a tough guy on the outside, but be quite afraid of his wife at home.

Ning Hao stopped drinking and kept putting food on Tian Xiaole's plate, urging him to eat faster.

······
After dinner, Tian Xiaole was looking through Ning Hao's proud masterpiece.

He was very satisfied with the script.

The commercial film industry has proven itself and is now moving towards film festivals.

【No Man's Land】is Ning Hao's ambitious work.

The script is full of satire and delves deeply into the clash between civilization and barbarism.

"In an environment without constraints, humanity begins to challenge the order of civilization. A very good dark film."

"Haha, great minds think alike. I feel like something's missing if I don't have some awards to my name."

Ning Hao was overjoyed to receive Tian Xiaole's approval.

"However, your content is too dark, it will be difficult to pass the review."

Tian Xiaole reminded him.

There isn't a single good person in the script, including the policeman who appears at the end; the plot is very depressing.

"These are minor matters. Just get the share from China Film Group, and let Master Han handle the approval process."

Ning Hao didn't care; all he could see was his desire for the award.

"I'll give you 30% of the investment, China Film Group will take 30%, and I'll keep 40% for myself."

“Sure, as long as your script passes the review, I’ll provide the funding immediately.”

According to the script, it would be pointless for anyone to submit it for review; it exposes the dark side of humanity too starkly.

In the context of the new era, this is definitely not allowed.

Hengdian, the film crew of "Chinese Paladin 3".

"Liying, what's your relationship like with Director Tian? Is he easy to get along with?"

Yang Mi had long since given up her resentment at having her role "snatched" and often fawned over Zhao Liying on set.

Liu Shishi, who was standing next to her, also looked over, wanting to hear some gossip about this famous director.

"Director Tian is a very nice person, and he takes good care of his artists."

Zhao Liying said very seriously.

Since signing with Xiaole Pictures, I've been surrounded by good people on every film set, all thanks to my boss, Tian Xiaole.

"Could you ask Director Tian to come visit the set?" Liu Shishi subtly urged.

Yang Mi mentioned occasionally that she saw Tian Xiaole at school, and that she could sign with Xiaole Pictures after her contract expired.

Zhao Liying goes without saying; she's one of our own.

She has never had the chance to meet the new generation of leading figures in Chinese-language cinema in the new millennium.

"Oh right, Liying should invite Senior Brother Tian to visit the set."

Yang Mi chimed in from the side, saying that she certainly wouldn't miss any opportunity to get to know Tian Xiaole better.

"Ah~

Director Tian is very busy and may not have time.

Zhao Liying was in a bit of a predicament. She was practically invisible at the company, so she didn't dare to make such a request.

"Give it a try, just in case you happen to have some free time."

"Brother Tian told me that he thinks highly of this play, and he will definitely come if you invite him."

Liu Shishi and Yang Mi tried their best to persuade her.

Seeing the hopeful looks in their eyes, Zhao Liying reluctantly agreed.

She planned to go back to the RV to make the call, so she could have an excuse if she was rejected.

"Let's fight here. Let's hear what Senior Brother Tian has to say," Yang Mi said, pulling her hand.

Zhao Liying is easily swayed, and in front of the two of them, she dialed Tian Xiaole's number.

"Hello, Liying?"

Hearing this affectionate address, Zhao Liying glanced at Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, unconsciously raised her head, and said softly:

"Director Tian, ​​filming for 'Chinese Paladin 3' has been going on for quite some time now. I'd like to invite you to visit the set. Do you have time?"

"What's wrong? Is someone on set bullying you? Cai Yinong doesn't want to work in mainland China anymore, does she?"

Tian Xiaole was instantly a little unhappy. Zhao Liying wasn't the type to make demands randomly; the fact that she invited him to visit the set meant she wanted his support.

"No, no, no one bullied me. President Cai is very good to me."

Zhao Liying quickly explained, feeling secretly delighted.

So this is what it feels like to be cared for.

Yang Mi and Liu Shishi's gazes towards Zhao Liying changed; they became protective of her without asking why. Where in the entertainment industry can you find such a good boss?

Even if I were to be taken advantage of, I would do it willingly.

For convenience, you can spread your legs apart a bit.
