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

Lu Tianmin woke up.

She learned that her son, whom she had raised with great care, was being verbally abused, attacked, and insulted by netizens, and that his nationality had even been changed.

Overwhelmed by anger and rage, he fainted again.

Before I fainted, I had only one thought: Had a secret hidden for many years been exposed?
Lu Chuan looked at his father, who was wearing a breathing mask on the hospital bed, and tears of frustration streamed down his face.

Not reconciled!

His moment of glory slipped away right before his eyes.

Since he was having a hard time, he didn't want Tian Xiaole to have her way.

Anyone can throw mud at each other.

Lu Chuan took out her newly bought phone and scrolled through the list of friends in her call log.

He recalled that when the film "Nanjing" was a huge success on its opening day, many people sent him congratulatory text messages.

He showered him with flattery and even boasted that he would follow him and become his henchman.

Now is the chance.

The first person I thought of was a junior from the Beijing Film Academy who was about to graduate.

If the school can vouch for him, then the smears against him can be attributed to different forms of artistic expression.

Beep beep beep~~

No one heard.

Lu Chuan then approached Huayi, the quietly developing Orange Sky, and the newly established Little Pony...

The person contacted by Lu Chuan was so afraid of getting involved with him that they quickly hung up the phone.

No one cares if he gets trampled to death, but he's afraid of being targeted by Tian Xiaole.

Previously, a group of film and television professionals, actors, and celebrities who supported him all kept their distance from him.

"Damn it! A bunch of sycophantic scoundrels."

As if venting her anger, Lu Chuan suddenly smashed her newly bought phone, sending it flying and making a head-on collision with the floor.

If you can't rely on others, then you have to take matters into your own hands.

If Tian Xiaole can stir up a storm with just a Weibo post, why can't I?
Lu Chuan posted several social media updates, condemning Tian Xiaole for targeting her without any reason.

The misinterpretation of the film's content has caused serious damage to his reputation.

It started with [Kekexili].

The netizens were highly engaged, and without exception, they all said it was well done.

That bastard deserves to be targeted.

Seeing that the internet had been manipulated and there wasn't a single normal person left, Lu Chuan turned around and held a press conference.

There weren't many media outlets present, only seven or eight.

Among them was the Southern Metropolis Daily.

Lu Chuan began her performance, accusing Tian Xiaole of suppressing his peers and being a bully in the film and television industry.

He urged that the film and television industry should not be controlled by one person.

The media reported on his tearful performance.

Then, he was bombarded with criticism from netizens.

They say the media is aiding and abetting wrongdoing, allowing biased perspectives to smear the only bright spot in Chinese cinema.

Lu Chuan was furious, believing that there was nothing wrong with the content of the film, only that the artistic expression was different.

They excitedly ran upstairs to complain.

The result was predictable: with such a huge online outcry, no one cared about your so-called art.

The bureau told him to stop there and stop acting like a clown and causing trouble.

They naively thought they could receive the same treatment as Tian Xiaole.

Unfortunately, he hasn't realized that different people are treated differently.

When comparing contributions, there must be some chips on the table.

Tian Xiaole's arrogance stems not only from his family background but also from his own hard skills.

Qin Lan and Gao Yuanyuan, who starred in "Nanjing", called one after the other to express their stance.

To be clear, if Tian Xiaole doesn't believe it, she can have her body checked herself.

Given all this, what's the point of believing or not believing anymore?

Of course, I'll choose to check it out.

I really miss my good daughter.

Since Qin Lan happened to be in the capital, they arranged to meet at the Xishan Villa.

I haven't been here in a long time; the room must be gathering dust.

Looking at the different themed decorations in the room, Qin Lan's hands trembled involuntarily.

He touched the cold props, wondering how he should lie down to make Tian Xiaole happy.

"Hey, how do you play this?"

Qin Lan pointed to the giant spinning wheel, her eyes clear, and asked curiously.

"Ahem~~
This isn't a game for just two people, let's go over there.

Tian Xiaole didn't know what to say about Chen Zhixi. This thing must have been recently installed.

Is he the kind of person who indulges in debauchery?
It's like it's actually useful!
As a renowned director, he has never even fought against a landlord; he is truly self-disciplined.

When I turned around, I saw Qin Lan sitting on a couple's chair, having found a comfortable spot.

"What should I do?"

Qin Lan gripped the handrail, her voice sweet and coquettish, like a curious child.

"I'll teach you."

·······
The next day, Tian Xiaole was woken up by a phone call; it was Tang Yan calling.

Today is the script reading for "Shoplifters," so make sure he's not late.

His tone sounded somewhat resentful.

Qin Lan was woken up and, like a sleepy kitten, nestled in Tian Xiaole's arms.

She had overheard the phone call and was seizing every opportunity to make a lasting impression on Tian Xiaole.

Don't ignore her for months like before.

I almost thought I was going to lose a good friend.

Even the executives at her agency were giving her strange looks.

It's as if it's saying: You've fallen out of favor?
"It's getting late, time to get up."

Jingle bell~
Qin Lan propped herself up on the bed with both hands, looking down at Tian Xiaole, and shook her head.

A bell rang.

"Good puppy~"

What else could Tian Xiaole do?

Tian Xiaole decided to stay away from Tang Yan for the next couple of days, so she wouldn't run out of time to wash her face.

Xiao Le Film Studio Meeting Room ~

[Shoplifters] First script reading~
The main cast includes Gong Li, Ge You, and Tang Yan, as well as several important supporting actors.

Old Tian makes a cameo appearance as the old man at the convenience store, Tian Xiaole, a customer at the brothel, personally takes on the role, and Jiang Wu is cast as the police officer.

Tang Yan looked at Tian Xiaole, who arrived late, her pretty face puffed up with anger, like a resentful woman.

He didn't go home last night; he must have been seduced by that slut again.

Gong Li noticed Tang Yan's anger, patted her hand, and whispered:

"You have to learn to play dumb sometimes."

"Sister Li?"

Tang Yan looked puzzled. How could Gong Li, who championed independence, say such a thing?

"At Xiao Le's age, he has achieved so much. He must be surrounded by many beautiful women. If you keep too close a watch on him, it's like holding sand in your hand. The tighter you hold it, the faster it slips away."

What you're holding in your hand isn't sand, it's Xiaotian Xin, the trump card.

Gong Li's words made Tang Yan nod thoughtfully.

Outsiders, Jiang Wen and Ying Huang jointly held a press conference for the "Burning Clouds" event.

"The role of the advisor will be played by Ge You. The crew will wait until he finishes filming 'Shoplifters' before filming his scenes."

When introducing the cast, Jiang Wen specifically mentioned Ge You and said that she was the only choice for the role.

After the press conference ended, media reports were quickly uploaded to the internet.

Many actors and celebrities in the industry are lamenting that Ge You is ugly, but she is really lucky.

He has been working with many famous directors.

Ultimately, it all comes down to having excellent acting skills.

·······
On its 17th day of release, "The Eight Hundred" surpassed 2 million yuan at the box office. And it continues to perform strongly, with theaters allocating more screenings to it, resulting in a stable daily box office of around five to six million yuan.

An actor under Xiaole Pictures posted on Weibo to congratulate Gao Qunshu on joining the 2 million yuan director club.

Immediately afterwards, actors, stars, and professionals in the film and television industry sent their congratulations on Weibo.

For film and television companies in the industry, Xiaole Pictures' strength has been enhanced, gaining another key figure under its wing.

The filming location for "Shoplifters" was Shanghai.

The contrast between the skyscrapers on one side and the slums on the other creates a strong visual impact.

Tang Yan, along with Xiao Tianxin and her nanny team, flew to Shanghai ahead of everyone else.

To maintain secrecy, they didn't stay at the film crew's hotel but rented a detached villa and hired a professional bodyguard team for security.

Tian Xiaole, along with the old lady, Gong Li, and Ge You, flew to Shanghai.

At the airport, the group was spotted by reporters who had been lying in wait.

"Which old lady is...?"

"He's a bit unfamiliar, but if Director Tian is helping him, he must be someone of high status."

"Could it be that person? Is she also in the show?"

The older reporters recognized the old lady and were trembling with excitement.

Without thinking twice, I rushed up to the security checkpoint as we were about to reach it.

"Director Tian, ​​is the new movie about to start filming? Is the woman you're helping Ms. Yu Lan? Will she be in it?"

The other reporters then realized what was happening and all the topics were handed over to them.

Tian Xiaole nodded and replied succinctly, "I did participate."

The reporter was thrilled; this was a veteran artist who hadn't made a film in years.

Most importantly, he's making a movie about his own grandson, which will surely become a heartwarming story.

"Teacher Ge You, Director Jiang Wen praised you. Do you have anything to say in response?"

"He has good taste."

"Ms. Gong Li, how did you feel working with Director Tian for the first time?"

"I'm very happy."

The reporters bombarded them with questions, to which the individuals offered only brief replies.
In the afternoon, Chen Hong, along with Arthur and Zhao Jinmai, arrived at the film set one after the other to meet up.

And there have been reports about it online.

"The new film by Palme d'Or winner Tian Xiaole features veteran artist Yu Lan in the cast."

"The film 'Shoplifters' will be filmed in Shanghai and will begin production soon."

"Director Tian Xiaole is returning to art films, looking forward to it..."

Compared to what others are focusing on, what the actresses in the industry care about most is the participation of the elderly lady.

They all fantasized that if an old lady on set took a liking to them and betrothed them to Tian Xiaole, they would become Mrs. Tian.

From now on, I'll be a force to be reckoned with in the industry; let's see who dares to steal my endorsements...

Tang Yan, the second female lead, has once again become the envy of other actresses.

"Sister Li, you should get to know the two young actors better and build a relationship of trust."

After giving instructions to Gong Li, Tian Xiaole left the hotel where the film crew was staying.

Tang Yan needed to hurry back to the capital; the promotional roadshow for the [Museum] was about to begin.

"Old Ge, which room is Director Yu staying in? I want to go and visit her."

Chen Hong only learned from the news that the old lady would be in the show, and the first thing she wanted to do upon arriving at the hotel was to visit her.

When Chen Hong asked, Ge You shook her head: "Neither she nor Xiao Le stayed in a hotel."

"Oh, never mind then, we'll run into each other on set."

·······
The film "The Eight Hundred" has come to an end, ultimately grossing 2.37 million yuan.

Compared to the investment cost of 100 million, it's fair to say that we're not making any money.

Promotional materials for "Night at the Museum" have been rolled out in full swing.

Tang Yan returned to the capital and joined the film's main creative team to launch a three-day promotional campaign.

Industry insiders are keeping a close eye on the situation, hoping to get on board with Fox.

This is one of the six major Hollywood studios.

The domestic distribution of "[Museum]" is handled by China Film Group.

As the distributor, we are definitely happiest to have the main creators come to promote the movie.

A banquet was held to welcome the group, and many media outlets were invited to witness the event.

Tang Yan saw an unexpected person appear with the main cast and crew.

"James, what brings you here?"

"Tiffany Tang, you're quite surprised, aren't you? I'm here on business."

James introduced the middle-aged white man next to him: "This is the Fox production manager, here to talk to the boss about project collaboration."

"William, this is my future boss's wife, you'd better try to curry favor with her."

Tang Yan's face lit up with a smile when she heard this.

"Tang did a fantastic job at the museum; perhaps we'll have a chance to collaborate."

Tang Yan was much calmer in the face of the foreigner's politeness, not even as composed as James's "boss lady".

"Brother Le is filming a new movie in Shanghai. If you want to discuss collaborations, you should go there to find him."

People from China Film Group and reporters at the scene watched as Tang Yan chatted happily with two people who appeared to be managers.

They looked at each other, surprised and taken aback.

"Is Tang Yan's background really that audacious? One of her connections is a manager at Pangu Pictures, and the other is a director at Fox."

"I guess they met in Hollywood."

The reporter kept taking pictures while discussing the topic.

I can imagine the mixed feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred that actresses in the industry will have after the report is published.

"Post-production for [Lucy] is complete, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be released in the second half of the year."

After the Fox people left, James reported to Tang Yan, knowing that she cared a lot about this movie, so he had to make sure to get her attention.

"How's the final product? Was my performance okay?"

Tang Yan asked quickly.

This is a film that proves its commercial value, and it's also very memorable, so naturally I'm very interested in it.

"The staff watched the video and unanimously praised your performance."

Hearing James's words, Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief.

She was under a lot of pressure with a film that cost 30 million US dollars to make.

Although the movie hasn't been released yet, I don't want my performance to drag down the quality of the film.

·······
Ren Zhonglun arrived uninvited while Tian Xiaole was conducting pre-boot checks.

I still need to make time to meet with the person in charge of Shanghai Film Group.

"Director Tian, ​​you're filming in Shanghai, so just treat it like your own home. If you need the local cooperation, just give them a heads-up."

Ren Zhonglun was very polite, and he spoke with a smile, showing no signs of the oppressive aura of someone in a high position.

But Tian Xiaole knew the visitor was up to no good and couldn't be fooled by his appearance.

If someone is overly solicitous for no reason, they must have something in mind.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaole's expression remained unchanged, and she exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

"Director Tian, ​​the Magnolia Awards will be held in the middle of next month. On behalf of the organizers, I would like to invite you to attend."

Ren Zhonglun spoke very sincerely, and Tian Xiaole thought he was going to bring up the issue of the quota for the Pacific Rim again.

They didn't ask any questions, they just invited me to the awards ceremony.

"The film crew had already started shooting at that time, and I couldn't leave."

Tian Xiaole shook her head and refused.

I heard Chen Zhixi report that [Qianfu] signed up to participate in the selection.

Just let her attend; it's not appropriate for someone of his status to attend such a TV drama awards ceremony.

"Hey."

Ren Zhonglun sighed slightly: "I just came to deliver a message. I've already delivered it, so I won't disturb Director Tian's work any longer."

Tian Xiaole was a little surprised. Ren Zhonglun might not be the second Zuo Shandiao, but his eating habits were somewhat similar.

They just left so decisively, without looking back or showing any reluctance.

Have they switched to a roundabout strategy?

Know it with affection, move it with courtesy.

But Tian Xiaole wasn't buying it; Shanghai Film Group's actions were rather disgusting. (End of Chapter)
