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

Chapter 258 Liu Yifei takes on the role in "My Love from the Star"!
Tian Xiaole stayed in Hengdian until the afternoon and returned to the capital in the evening.

I've noticed the recent news in the industry.

The popular science program "Into Science," produced by CCTV, which revealed various "supernatural" phenomena over the past ten years and was very popular with the public, has recently announced its cancellation.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, which has been held for 55 years, has announced its cancellation.

Among all the movie news, two items are worth noting.

Feng Xiaogang is Huayi's workaholic and a crucial figure in its IPO.

His new play, "The Nobles," was shelved because he was dissatisfied with the script.

Instead, they filmed a script about matchmaking, and invited Ge You and Shu Qi to star in it.

Another news item is that Wu Jing, who has been developing his career in Hong Kong in recent years, has switched careers to become a director. The press conference for "Wolf Fang: Abu" was held in Beijing.

Tian Xiaole admires his courage in scraping together 20 million yuan in investment to make a military-themed movie.

[The Message] The script has been expanded. Chen Guofu came to Xiaole Film Industry and asked Tian Xiaole to take a look at the script and see if there were any areas that needed improvement.

He was very confident in the script, believing it was definitely worthy of being submitted to film festivals for awards.

"Director Tian, ​​there's something I'd like to discuss with you. I'd like to use Zhou Xun for the female lead, but the two CEOs don't want to use her."

"why?"

Tian Xiaole looked at the script in her hand and asked without looking up.

"After Zhou Xun's contract expires, she doesn't plan to renew it with Huayi, so President Wang doesn't want to waste resources on her."

"They've fallen back into their old habit of hoarding food; they won't let anyone else touch it unless the meat is cooked in Huayi's pot."

Chen Guofu dared not respond to Tian Xiaole's sarcastic remarks and could only manage an awkward smile.

"The script is good, so let's just film it according to this version."

"I'll take the role of Wu Zhiguo. You can decide on the other roles. If Da Wang or Xiao Wang have any objections, have them come to me."

"Director Arita, just say that."

·······
In a coffee shop not far from Xiaole Film Studio, Liu Yifei sat by the window, looking at the script brought by Tian Xiaole.

He was watching very intently, his eyebrows occasionally twitching upwards.

More than twenty minutes later, Liu Yifei finished reading the script, took a sip of coffee, and then slowly said:

"This book is really interesting. It's about falling in love with aliens and revealing some unspoken rules in the industry."

"But won't some people object to using the name Yi Hua? This screenwriter named Liu Jianjun is quite bold."

"With projects invested in by Xiaole Pictures, you don't need to worry about anyone's opinion. You just need to focus on playing your role well."

Tian Xiaole had the confidence to say this, and said in a joking tone, "The script's content is in line with your current situation, so it can be considered a natural performance."

"I'll take the script with me. Just let me know when you join the crew."

"Well, filming won't be going that fast; we haven't chosen a director yet."

"Then I'll have more time to analyze the characters and strive to live up to the script."

Liu Yifei stood up, casually put on her sunglasses, waved casually, and walked out of the coffee shop.

Tian Xiaole smiled and shook his head. If it were any other actress, he would have loved to spend more time with her.

Perhaps it is this optimistic attitude that has enabled her to withstand the constant rumors and smears online.

·······
Not far away, paparazzi took photos of the two meeting.

It's no secret that Liu Yifei is blacklisted in the industry; the script she just looked at was given to her by Tian Xiaole.

This suggests that the two will be collaborating soon, and if this is reported, it will definitely be big news.

At this moment, the Wang brothers of Huayi looked rather grim. The general they had spent a fortune to recruit actually went to Tian Xiaole to discuss things as soon as the script was completed.

That's fine.

When he came back, he even said that he had the autonomy to choose the actors for "The Message," and that it was Tian Xiaole's right.

"Brother, what does Chen Guofu mean by this? Has he forgotten that we are his bosses?"

Wang Zhonglei said in a cold tone.

Tian Xiaole has only been a shareholder in Huayi for a short time, and is already a minor shareholder, yet Chen Guofu is already busy switching sides. "I'll ask him what he means by this. He's overstepping his bounds and trying to interfere in Huayi's affairs."

Wang Zhongjun called Tian Xiaole, but the phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Mr. Wang, is there something you need?"

Tian Xiaole's languid voice made Wang Zhongjun even angrier.

"I'd like to ask Director Tian, ​​are you trying to interfere in Huayi Brothers' internal affairs? We don't even have the right to comment on the casting of 'The Message'?"

"I have no interest in Huayi's messy affairs. I put Chen Guofu in charge of casting the actors for 'The Message'."

Mr. Wang, don't forget, we are the professional directors. Our standard for casting is that the actors fit the roles.

Tian Xiaole's reasoned and well-founded words left Wang Zhongjun speechless, and his accumulated momentum instantly dissipated.

If we really have to kick them out, we'll just have to accept it reluctantly.

The news that Huayi Brothers' new project, "The Message," is a collaboration with Xiaole Pictures has already spread within the company.

The company's two top actresses have been engaged in a fierce battle for the lead role for several rounds.

Most celebrities keep quiet about this topic to avoid being dragged into a fight between big shots.

Li Xue is the general manager of the talent agency department, nominally in charge of all the artists' agents.

Artists who want to get resources have to be subservient to her.

It's perfectly understandable that she would try to secure better resources for her older sister.

Li Xue arrived at Wang Zhongjun's office: "Mr. Wang, you wanted to see me?"

"Okay, tell Binbin to just play Li Ningyu well, and not to think about anything else."

"Ah! So, is Gu Xiaomeng still played by Zhou Xun? She clearly stated that she wouldn't be re-enrolling when her contract expires."

Li Xue didn't understand.

"Tian Xiaole handed over the casting decision to Director Chen. I talked to him, and he firmly chose Zhou Xun for the role of Gu Xiaomeng."

"Director Chen is one of our own, he shouldn't be so insensible."

Li Xue secretly instigated him, saying that Chen Guofu was being too disrespectful and that she had to give him a good dressing down.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's face darkened. He would settle accounts with such a person who disregarded the company's interests sooner or later.

"That's the end of this matter. We'll leave the casting to Chen Kuo-fu and see what happens after the movie is released."

Li Xue nodded reluctantly. She had secretly vowed to make her older sister a big star, but she never expected it to be so difficult.

·······
"Submit the script for this TV series for review."

Chen Zhixi took the script for "My Love from the Star," looked at the screenwriter's name on the cover, and asked with some curiosity:
"Boss, there's no Liu Jianjun in the scriptwriting department, right? Are you sure there's no mistake?"

"This is my pseudonym."

The character Liu Jianjun is a fictional creation of Tian Xiaole. As a Palme d'Or winner, it's quite beneath his stature for a director to write a script about urban romance like this.

Upon seeing the script, Chen Zhixi immediately understood that she should use an alias.

Tian Xiaole turned on her desktop computer and started browsing online news.

Unexpectedly, photos of him meeting with Liu Yifei were published in the media.

The title is eye-catching and attractive.

"It is suspected that director Tian Xiaole has invited Liu Yifei to star in his new film."

"Tian Xiaole and Liu Yifei had a two-hour chat at a coffee shop, suggesting a possible new collaboration."

"Liu Yifei is suspected of being blacklisted and has not joined any productions for a year."

·······
After the news report, Liu Yifei's fans were the happiest.

Finally, we heard the news that Liu Yifei is joining a production team, and she will be working with the renowned director Tian Xiaole.

Although the news has not been confirmed, the photos suggest that the two have a close relationship.

Fans are already looking forward to the two collaborating again.
