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

In terms of movie news, the front page headlines are still dominated by Tang Yan and [Lucy].

Regarding television dramas, it is still related to Xiaole Pictures.

"My Love from the Star," which was bought by Hu Nan Tai, has started its promotional campaign.

Judging from their marketing strategy, it seems they want Liu Yifei and Tang Yan to compete against each other in every aspect.

In terms of popularity, Tang Yan gained a wave of fans with "Super Body", but she is still no match for Liu Yifei.

After all, the latter is known as a powerhouse, with titles like "Tian Long Ba Bu," "Chinese Paladin," and "The Return of the Condor Heroes," as well as the hugely popular "Pacific Rim," establishing a solid national reputation.

Provoked by Hunan TV, the fans of the two sides argued fiercely.

Molasses: "Someone should stop trying to piggyback on movie stars; TV dramas are the best place for them."

"Can the actress who plays a leading role in a movie that grossed 10 billion yuan stay away from the spotlight?" (Artist Family)

Molasses: "Hehe, so what if the box office is high? I'll still go back to acting in TV dramas."

A member of the entertainment industry commented: "We advise a certain fan group to respect their seniors' wishes."

"..."

Tian Xiaole read through the comments attacking each other from both sides, finding it quite entertaining.

They were relatively restrained, considering they had worked together before and praised each other.

Compared to the previous attack on Fan Binbin by the eight major sects, the impact of this incident is no less significant.

Both are currently the most popular actresses, with a large number of fans.

Liu Yifei's Weibo account on Leyu Entertainment was among the first batch of celebrities to surpass 10 million followers.

The fan club has gathered three million people.

Most of these are active fans, the kind that can fight back.

Tangyan's fan club is equally impressive, with over two million followers.

The number of discussion posts reaches tens of thousands every day, all of which are from active fans.

"dong dong dong~"

"Enter."

Tian Xiaole looked up and saw Chen Zhixi walk in. She said with some concern:
"Boss, should we control the online comments? The movie has just been released, and the TV series is about to air. I'm worried it might have an impact..."

"No rush, let the fans argue for a couple more days, consider it promotion for both dramas."

Tian Xiaole smiled and continued, "Keep public opinion under control, and let the two of them promote each other when the time comes."

They promote it online through Weibo and offline through roadshows.

Before the premiere of "Lucy", Tang Yan and Liu Yifei had a good relationship and had even gone out for dinner together.

Since the premiere, Tang Yan has become somewhat wary of Liu Yifei.

Or rather, Tang Yan was wary of any woman who posed a threat to her.

Chen Zhixi nodded, then reported to the director: "Director Guo Fan's [Source Code] has been adjusted to the end of August."

[Source Code] It's definitely not going to be released during the National Day holiday; the release date will be reserved for those films made to commemorate national patriots.

Tian Xiaole asked Chen Zhixi to choose a new release date, placing it at the end of the summer vacation.

There's no other meaning to it than to let the film industry experience the fear of being dominated by Xiaole Pictures.

In early July, "Ip Man" swept the market; at the end of July, "Lucy" dominated the August market; and "Source Code" took over September.

Xiaole Pictures took over all three months of the summer vacation.

Aren't you trembling with fear?!

In the film market, "Lucy" continues to make a strong showing.

The next day, 1730 million

On the third day, 1580 million.

The first three days ended with a profit of 4600 million.

·······
If there were doubts about breaking 200 million, this result has silenced many people.

In comparison, major film companies and actors in the industry pay more attention to Hollywood box office performance.

Being powerful domestically doesn't mean you're invincible; being strong in North America is what truly makes you awesome.

Tang Yan is awesome, others may not know, but doesn't Tian Xiaole know?
At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her body was covered in sticky sweat, and she curled up weakly in his arms.

"Hey Le, what do you think of the North American box office like right now?"

"Based on the data from the first day that James reported, with Lionsgate adding more opening screens, a score of 4000-5000 million is not a problem."

"Wow! Is it possible to get such high box office numbers?"

Tang Yan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, ignoring Tian Xiaole's mischievous hands.

He said with a smile, "It's just a guess. We'll know when James passes the data over."

Tang Yan nodded, sighed in relief, and slumped weakly against Tian Xiaole.

Just as the two were getting ready for a rematch, the phone screen on the bedside table lit up.

Tang Yan couldn't wait any longer, so she threw off the covers and got up to get it.

Her smooth, delicate body showed no signs of having given birth; her abdomen was flat, and her curves were perfectly defined.

"Brother Le, take a look quickly."

Tang Yan handed the phone to Tian Xiaole, who was surprised, thinking that she would look at it herself.

Back then, mobile phones didn't have features like unlocking the screen.

Why don't you take a look for yourself?

"If I see something I don't want to see without your permission, wouldn't that just make me uncomfortable?"

Tang Yan is self-aware. She usually acts coquettishly and gets jealous, but as long as her bottom line isn't crossed, Tian Xiaole will definitely tolerate her.

She had heard that if a man could delete one thing before he died, it would definitely be the "study materials" stored on his phone.

She believed Tian Xiaole didn't need it, but that precisely illustrates the importance of privacy.

Tian Xiaole liked this about Tang Yan; whether she was truly silly or clever, it made people feel comfortable.

It doesn't just refer to the bed.

He took the phone and looked at it; it was a statistic from LeBron James on [SuperBody].
"The North American box office is good, with $1700 million in the first three days. Lionsgate will add more opening screens later."

"Is this a good result? It's not even as high as the opening day box office of a horror movie."

"It's already pretty good. If actresses don't carry the box office, many people will be extremely envious."

Tian Xiaole tossed his phone aside; this achievement was worth celebrating. He pulled Tang Yan aside for a rematch.

Guess what happened the next day?

Hi!
woke up.

Tang Yan, who was beside him, was no longer there; she had gone to record Hunan TV's "Happy Camp" with a rosy complexion.

She and Liu Yifei are guests, and the two will showcase their sisterly bond to ease the current hostility between their respective fan groups.

Tian Xiaole sent Chen Zhixi the North American box office data for "Lucy" and asked her to release it.

In just a short while, Xiaole Pictures' official account released the battle report.

"The action sci-fi film starring actress Tang Yan grossed $1700 million in its opening weekend in North America, showing strong momentum!"

If the domestic box office performance alone has stirred up a lot of people, then the data from Hollywood is even more unbelievable.

Reports from Hollywood were gradually reprinted and sent back to China.

"North American independent women's groups support Hollywood's leading lady films; actresses don't need to play decorative roles..."

"[Lucy] has gained a large number of supporters..."

"........."

Such messages quickly spread across the Chinese internet.

The film industry was stunned. How could "Lucy" be so popular in North America?
While Tian Xiaole was having lunch, the outside world was in chaos and people were no longer calm.

This is the best performance by a Chinese lead actor since Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Tang Yan rose to fame as an internationally renowned actress thanks to her role in "Lucy".

Among the younger generation, including the post-80s actresses, they are far superior to them.

The Central Academy of Drama rarely sends congratulatory messages to its graduates, especially those who have acted in commercial films, but Tang Yan is an exception.

"Congratulations to Tang Yan, an outstanding graduate of our school's Class of 02, on stepping onto the international stage. We hope..."

Those in the industry were stunned, even Tian Xiaole. Before, during the "Museum" event, the Central Academy of Drama hadn't made a single move.

The box office figures for "Lucy" were only released three days ago, and people are already praising it lavishly.

This is what makes a female-led film stand out from other commercial films.

The former reflects its own influence, truly stepping onto the international stage.

After all, almost everyone in the film and television industry, including those in art schools, acknowledges Hollywood's status in the film industry.

[Ip Man] didn't finish its theatrical run, it completely failed to gross, and was pulled from theaters.

It grossed 2.23 million yuan at the box office.

Before I could even speak, I heard Mr. Yang's hearty laughter.

It's the kind of laughter that rich people have.

"Director Tian, ​​with the success of 'Ip Man 3' and the market dominance of 'Lucy,' it would be a shame not to celebrate."

Despite his age, Mr. Yang has a really nice way of speaking.

"Mr. Yang, don't rush. Let's hold the event together after 'Lucy' is released."

After thinking about it for a while, Tian Xiaole decided to do it all at once. Otherwise, having a celebration banquet every month would attract some envy.

He didn't really care, he just didn't want to generate revenue for the hospital.

What's with all this good news? How many patients have been treated? It's disgusting.

A place for treating and saving lives has been turned into a sales center.

Nanping

Upon hearing Tian Xiaole's suggestion, Boss Yang remained silent for a moment.

He didn't want to hold a celebration party with [Lucy], as he was sure he would be overshadowed, which was to be expected.

But since he had already said that, he could only agree.

"Alright, let's hold the event together when Miss Tang returns victorious."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Xiaole glanced at his competitors.

Based on its box office trajectory, "Overheard" was expected to break 100 million, but unfortunately, it was directly cut in half due to the impact of "Lucy".

It grossed just over 5000 million in its first two weeks of release.

There's a threat: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which will be released on the 7th.

Other low-budget films are not worth worrying about.

·······
While "Lucy" remains a hot topic online and within the industry.

Hunan TV has launched the drama "My Love from the Star".

Liu Yifei's appeal is undeniable, especially considering that she is returning to television dramas after a four-year hiatus.

It was produced by Xiaole Pictures.

It generated a lot of buzz.

A large number of movie fans and viewers gathered in front of the television early in the morning.

It's airing during prime time tonight!

The opening scene is set in the Song Dynasty.

On her way to her wedding, Liu Yifei encountered a fierce storm and was about to fall off a cliff when a well-dressed, expressionless man saved her.

Many people watching TV were surprised. Wasn't this supposed to be an urban setting? Where did this place end up?

In this era, aliens are still depicted as ugly, somewhat human-like creatures.

The setting shifts, and we arrive in a modern city.

Liu Yifei is a popular superstar and a national idol, but she lacks common sense and is somewhat eccentric and carefree.

In terms of mindset, she's somewhat similar to Sawako later on.

She dares to say anything in front of reporters and is the first female celebrity to admit to having plastic surgery.

Liu Yifei plays a famous star who repeatedly makes foolish mistakes, attracting a barrage of online abuse.

To avoid being interviewed by reporters, they moved to a new neighborhood in a very low-key manner.

Inside the elevator, she wore sunglasses that covered half her face, carried a luxury handbag, and wore high heels.

Looking him up and down, Qiao Zhenyu, who was also in the elevator, was meeting him for the first time after a thousand years.

"Hey! Do you want an autograph?"

"Give me a pen, I'll sign it."

"For obsessive fans like you, I usually..."

Liu Yifei continued talking to herself, admiring herself in the elevator.

Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Qiao Zhenyu walked out without paying any attention.

Liu Yifei was left alone in the elevator, feeling awkward.

This narcissistic scene brought a knowing smile to the viewers in front of their televisions.

The first episode's plot, and the character designs alone, captivated the audience.

With the airing of the second episode, the level of discussion skyrocketed, showing a trend of starting strong and then going wild.

Alien setting, separated by a thousand years, big stars, etc.

These are all hot topics on the forum.

Tang Yan and Liu Yifei were also busy, and each posted on Weibo to appease their respective fans.

Tang Yan posted a picture of herself looking at "My Love from the Star".

The caption reads: "Big stars playing big stars, this premise is so interesting!"

Liu Yifei posted a picture of her ticket stub for "Superbody" on Weibo.

Caption: "Sister Tangtang is so cool, please protect her~ (smirk)!"

Hunan TV used a two-episode broadcast format, and Chen Zhixi obtained the ratings statistics from them.

"How many?"

"The first episode had a 15.6% rating, and the second episode rose to 18.3%, surpassing even blockbuster dramas like 'Chinese Paladin 3'!"

Chen Zhixi reported the data with a smile on her face.

Tear~
Tian Xiaole knew this TV series was going to be a hit, and he couldn't help but gasp – he hadn't expected the ratings to be even more terrifying four years ahead of schedule.

As the plot progresses, this number will continue to rise, but where it will ultimately end is anyone's guess.

When the broadcast data came out, the leaders of Hunan TV were overjoyed. The long-running summer slot, "Wild Daughter Looking for Her Father," was due for a change.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same, and Cai Yinong, the sugar figurine maker, is a good example.

I thought my own "Chinese Paladin 3" was a shoo-in for the title of best drama of the year, but then "My Love from the Star" came out of nowhere.

The viewership ratings reached the highest level for "Chinese Paladin 3" as soon as it started airing.

It is foreseeable that as long as the quality of this drama is maintained and its reputation does not collapse, the ratings will continue to rise.

Cai Yinong turned off the online report with a sigh and looked up at her top female star:
"What happened to you last time? You had a chance to get in touch with Director Tian, ​​but you didn't take the initiative."

"Sister Cai, I..."

"You don't need to explain to me."

Cai Yinong raised her hand to interrupt Liu Shishi, adjusted her tone, and said earnestly:
"Shi Shi, Director Tian is an internationally renowned director and the owner of a domestic film company. Look at how easily they produce a TV series that outperforms ours in terms of ratings."

"You should be more proactive. Look at Tang Yan and Liu Yifei, those two have such good resources, maybe... you know what I mean."

Liu Shishi could easily tell that her boss wanted to sell her off.

She didn't have a good impression of Tian Xiaole.

I went on a pilgrimage as a film enthusiast, but I never expected him to be that kind of person.

My thighs are all rubbed raw.

What's even worse is that we kept in touch normally, but I never expected him to be someone who took advantage of me and then left me alone.

"Shi Shi, you should take the initiative to contact Director Tian more often. If he gives you any role, you'll become as famous as Tang Yan and the others."

"Okay, I understand, Sister Cai."

Liu Shishi nodded, recalling those large, kneading hands.

What could be causing my body to feel restless? (End of Chapter)
