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

Filming for "My Love from the Star" has wrapped up in Shanghai.

The wrap party held in the morning made the news in the afternoon.

The level of attention this drama receives from viewers is comparable to that of top-tier film projects.

"Produced by Xiaole Pictures, directed by Xue Xiaolu, and starring Liu Yifei, Wang Luodan, Qiao Renliang, and others, 'My Love from the Star' has officially wrapped up filming today."

"Director Xue Xiaolu is grateful to Director Tian Xiaole for giving her the opportunity to transition from screenwriter to director."

"Liu Yifei is returning to television dramas after five years, and audience expectations are extremely high."

As soon as the film was announced to have wrapped up filming, major TV stations flocked to it.

With its production by Xiaole Pictures and a cast including Liu Yifei and Wang Luodan, this drama is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Chen Zhixi called Tian Xiaole to report on the first round of bids from various TV stations.

"Shanghai TV was the first to bid, offering 1.5 million per episode, and Hunan TV offered the same price."

"This price isn't high. My expectation is 2.5 million per episode. Whoever offers that price first, I'll sell it to them."

As a phenomenal hit, the price of 2.5 million for "My Love from the Star" is quite reasonable in an era where the average price is just over one million.

Despite the fact that the production costs have already been recouped thanks to inserts and product placements.

"By the way, once post-production is complete, send a copy to CJ and Southeast Asian film buyers; they'll be interested."

Tian Xiaole recalled that this drama had caused quite a stir in the entire Asian market.

He was the king of dramas back then.

Xue Xiaolu's version has the support of his script, and the filming crew is also composed of experienced professionals.

There is reason to believe that it will definitely not be worse than the original.

The biggest source of confidence is that Liu Yifei's current fame is much higher than that of Jun Ji-han.

"Director, the scene is set up."

The stagehand came over and said.

In a film crew, the person who truly manages the overall situation is called the director. Assistant directors or executive directors like Lu Yang are distinguished by adding their surnames before their names.

Another lesson in film crew knowledge.

Tang Yan is a talented actress, but her sweet appearance makes her easily overlooked.

But to say it's exceptionally good, it's really not that great.

It was all thanks to Tian Xiaole's training.

After the family decided to adopt the "younger sister," they provided her with meticulous care and concern.

This made Tang Yan feel like the attention of her whole family had been taken away, which made her resentful, jealous, and indignant.

She always overacts, pouting her lips way too much.

Or it's just pouting, glaring, and stomping—a three-part combo.

Tian Xiaole was completely dumbfounded.

It felt like she was being affectionate with him.

When Liu Yifei came to visit the set, Tian Xiaole deliberately got closer to her in order to provoke Tang Yan.

Her jealousy is easily triggered.

"Now that this drama has finished filming, what are your plans for the future?"

“My mother got me a job in a movie. It was invested in by China Film Group, and the director was Taiwanese singer Wang Leehom.”

After hearing what Liu Yifei said, Tian Xiaole had a general idea.

But what is Lao Han thinking?

A bunch of professional directors in China can't even make ends meet, yet they go and invest in a singer?
Aren't you afraid of shooting a movie like a music video?
"With your current status, making this kind of movie is a bit beneath you."

Tian Xiaole handed over the fruit that the crew had cut up.

"Thank you, senior. I don't care about status or anything like that. It's just that the notebooks handed to me aren't very good quality."

The main reason is that this film was primarily invested in by China Film Group, so my mother accepted it for me.

Liu Yifei didn't stand on ceremony at all and explained her current predicament.

He seems carefree, which is better than not getting any roles at all.

Good projects are usually used by major companies to promote their own people, so it's unlikely she'd get a chance to act in one.

From a distance, Tang Yan lingered back and forth several times, her eyes fixed intently on the two of them.

Liu Yifei is younger and prettier than her, and has a better personality. She was genuinely worried that Tian Xiaole wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Sisi, come and try this, it's a local specialty."

Tang Yan seized the opportunity to interrupt their conversation, plopped down next to Tian Xiaole, and deliberately squeezed in.

"Well, it's delicious."

Liu Yifei was so focused on eating that she didn't notice Tang Yan's subtle actions.

Seeing the two foodies, Tian Xiaole gave them some space.

Arriving in front of the monitor, I reviewed the footage and checked for any omissions or errors.

Shooting continues.

Regarding the scenes where Tang Yan is jealous, she was simply playing herself.

Gong Li, a renowned actress, almost couldn't keep up with the performance.

Tian Xiaole silently memorized this trick, thinking it might come in handy later in the story.

Even after filming was finished, Tang Yan still had a wronged look on her face.

Because Tian Xiaole went to chat with Liu Yifei again.

Gong Li realized why Tang Yan was angry, so he pulled her to a corner and muttered a few words to her. Tang Yan's eyes lit up and she looked surprised.

"Sister Li, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Just ask your brother Le."

Seeing Tang Yan's surprised expression, Gong Li smiled knowingly.

Liu Yifei left in the afternoon. Before leaving, she had arranged to have dinner with Tang Yan. The two chatted and laughed, like good sisters who hadn't seen each other for many years.

That night, Tang Yan put Tian Xin to sleep early, and then Tian Xiaole suffered a lot.

"Brother Le, you're so good to me?" Tang Yan's "friend card" surprised Tian Xiaole.

Is this an undeveloped attribute?
"Knowing I'm good to you, why don't you lower your price a little?"

Tang Yan was very obedient. When she heard Gong Li say that Tian Xiaole had prepared a Hollywood project for her, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She is my true love; all other women are just passing through.

"Brother Le, I really like the surprise you prepared for me."

"What surprise?"

"It's a Hollywood role, isn't it meant for me?"

"It's for you."

Tian Xiaole straightened her back: "Now that you know, how are you going to thank me?"

"I'll do it, you rest for a while."

Tang Yan was satisfied.

The next day, Wang Luodan came to visit the set.

I didn't come with Liu Yifei yesterday because I had a last-minute commercial performance commitment.

Another truckload of watermelons and various snacks arrived.

Seeing Tang Yan walking strangely, one is completely baffled.

For someone like Wang Luodan, who had already developed this knowledge, it was of course immediately clear.

She was only jealous; she hadn't been seen with her in a long time.

Gong Li was a little surprised, not expecting Tian Xiaole to have such a hobby.

After being nourished, Tang Yan's acting skills also saw a breakthrough, and she performed several scenes that required emotional expression very well.

"Is Sugar's acting really that good?"

Wang Luodan was stunned. In her memory, Tang Yan's acting skills were just so-so.

The conclusion was that a sweet appearance is too deceptive.

The highly anticipated film "The Founding of a Republic" has wrapped up filming.

In an interview, Han Sanping said, "The film will be released during the National Day holiday, and we will speed up post-production."

Shortly after, the tribute film co-produced by Xiaole Pictures and Huayi Brothers also announced that filming had wrapped.

The target audience is also the National Day holiday period.

In an interview, Chen Guofu said, "I have no intention of competing with 'The Founding of a Republic,' but only to present a gift to the country for the 60th anniversary."

This statement by a Taiwanese director is indicative of Huayi Brothers' marketing or promotional strategy.

This National Day film season is going to be a huge success.

They didn't even dare to mention changing the movie's release date.

At this year's Magnolia Awards, "Lurking," produced by Xiaole Pictures, was a resounding success.

It swept several major awards, including the Gold Award, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay.

Those who went on stage to receive awards all thanked Tian Xiaole for his support and guidance, which gave them the opportunity to stand on the podium.

The highest transaction price for a TV series at this year's Magnolia Awards undoubtedly belongs to "My Love from the Star".

The price per episode was 2.6 million, and it was bought by Hunan TV.

This sets a new record for the highest price ever paid for a TV series.

The second place goes to "Three Kingdoms", with a single episode costing 1.6 million, which is the total price for the first and second runs.

Chen Zhixi, who had just bought the film at the Magnolia Awards, came to visit the set and also had work-related matters to report.

The people who came to visit the set seemed to have arranged it in advance, bringing mainly watermelons as the fruit.

"Boss, Yinghuang wants to start promoting [Ip Man 3] as soon as possible."

"Let them do whatever they want, you just need to cooperate."

Seeing the assistant bring out the sliced ​​watermelon, Tian Xiaole picked up a piece and popped it into her mouth. On such a hot day, a bite of this made her feel refreshed.

"By the way, the Shanghai Film Festival is coming up soon. We'll make some posters and brochures for the two films that are about to be released to promote them."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements when I get back."

Chen Zhixi nodded, indicating that she had made a mental note of it.

·······
As the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival approaches, both domestic film crews participating in the competition and filmmakers coming to promote their films have gathered in Shanghai.

It's an international Class A award after all, so it's quite a big deal.

Ning Hao edited the trailer and then eagerly came over to promote it.

I heard that Han Sanping guaranteed that the film would pass the censorship, so we can go ahead and promote it.

"If we don't get the dragon seal, wouldn't we be embarrassed?"

"With Chairman Han involved, how could it possibly fail the review!"

Ning Hao looked confident: "I've already chosen the release date for the movie; it will be released in November."

Seeing his confidence, Tian Xiaole couldn't bear to discourage him, so she changed the subject and brought up the Shanghai Film Festival.

"I saw in the news that a lot of foreign films were selected this time, so it's dangerous for China again."

“We Chinese filmmakers are treated like stepchildren; awards usually favor outsiders first, and only then do they think of us.”

Ning Hao grumbled, then looked at the equally indignant Tian Xiaole and said enviously:

"Of course, this definitely doesn't include you. If you participate, you'll definitely win a prize."

"Hehe, I don't care. I might end up carrying a sedan chair for foreigners."

Tian Xiaole smiled dismissively. Given the Shanghai Film Festival's style, they really might do something like that.

Ning Hao stayed on set for a while before heading off to promote his new film.

Tian Xiaole called over the production assistant and asked him to pass on the message that the crew would refuse to allow visits to the set from now on.

During the film festival, film crews can't expect to film properly unless martial law is enforced.

People coming to visit the set will probably form a long queue. (End of Chapter)
