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

Upon receiving the call, Wang Lihong reacted quickly, immediately holding a press conference to refute the false statements circulating online.

Even the most naive insiders who tried to take advantage of the situation realized that Liu Yifei had someone protecting her this time.

When the toothpick incident happened, there was so much public outcry online, yet someone still protected him because he had several big-budget productions awaiting release.

Because of this incident, the penguin manager who handpicked the toothpick to act was completely dismissed.

·······
If the Golden Rooster Awards represent professionalism, then the Huabiao Awards represent political correctness.

The Huabiao Awards, established by the Film Bureau, are government awards representing the highest honor.

With the mainland film market improving year by year, there were quite a few Hong Kong directors and actors in attendance.

Many people had wavering stances in the early years, and when they needed the Taiwanese market, they were happy to criticize or ridicule the mainland.

For politically correct awards like the Huabiao, attending is a must, as it represents official recognition.

Director Chen, Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Shu Qi, Liu Dehua, Lin Chi-lin, etc., directors and actors from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

As arranged by the authorities, Tian Xiaole was the last to walk the red carpet, and calmly waved to the reporters' cameras.

Little did anyone know, Director Chen's gums were almost crushed from biting so hard.

Guided by the staff, I sat in the first row. To my left was a leader from the Film Bureau, and to my right sat Director Chen, who had a sour face.

After Tian Xiaole came in, he ignored her and put on airs like an elder.

"Uncle Chen, the casting for your new film is quite lively. This kind of historical subject matter is your forte."

Tian Xiaole took the initiative to start the conversation. Director Chen, apart from liking to recite a little poetry and putting on airs of a cultured person, wasn't that annoying, especially since he was wearing a hat.

Upon hearing this, Director Chen smiled, his thick eyebrows furrowing together.
"I have indeed done some research on Han culture. This play will have a large scale, and I will try my best to restore history."

Tian Xiaole shouldn't have started this. The director seems to be very interested in history. When talking about his new film "The Orphan of Zhao," he talked about the analysis of human nature and the exploitation of history.

He believed that Cheng Ying's noble act of sacrificing his own child violated common sense and humanity, and that they should return to common sense and value life.

Listening to Director Chen's enthusiastic narration, I really wanted to ask him if he had interfered with the script adaptation again.

In that era of cannibalism, just surviving was a feat in itself; what was the point of talking about values?

While the two were chatting, the awards were already being presented on stage. Essentially, it was just a distribution of prizes; whoever came got a prize.

Two people each won awards for outstanding male and female actors and screenwriters.

Excellent directors Tian Xiaole and Chen Da are mixed in with an incongruous Feng Xiaogang.

[Ip Man] won the award for Outstanding Co-production with Foreign Countries, and Mr. Yang accepted the award on stage.

When he gave his acceptance speech, he was overwhelmed with emotion and tears streamed down his face. This was a recognition of Yinghuang's talent.

After the pork was distributed, it was time for the officially arranged dinner.

Tian Xiaole was about to make a brief appearance and leave when she was stopped by a sweet, delicate voice.

"Hello Director Tian, ​​I am Lin Zhilin."

Lin Chih-lin is quite tall, with fair skin and a pair of big, bright eyes.

"Hello."

Tian Xiaole reached out and shook her hand; it was soft and delicate, without any bone structure.
"I have seen all your movies and have always admired you. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you."

"There's probably not much of a chance then; your voice will pull the audience out of the story."

“Many people say I have a lisp, but that’s just how I am,” Lin Chih-lin quickly explained.

Tian Xiaole nodded noncommittally. This kind of voice, besides being used to pretend to be young, doesn't really have any advantage in movies.

Seeing Director Chen walking towards him, Tian Xiaole quickly slipped away. He wasn't feeling guilty; he was genuinely afraid of being pulled aside again and having his charade of finding brilliance in humanity in people's lives.

Director Chen sighed as he watched the departing figure walk away. In the entire venue, only Tian Xiaole was qualified to discuss creative concepts with him.

Because both of them are Palme d'Or winners, while the others are just nobodies and don't deserve it at all.

Tian Xiaole never expected that he held such a high position in Director Chen's eyes, and that even if he knew, he would just smile contemptuously.

········
Xiaole Pictures' next focus is the movie "Source Code".

"Director Tian, ​​this is my first time directing a feature film, and I feel a lot of pressure."

Guo Fan rubbed his hands, looking somewhat restless.

"Don't overthink it. The premise is very novel, and the filming is quite good," Tian Xiaole comforted her.

"Director Tian, ​​how much do you think this movie will gross at the box office?"

"Breaking even will definitely not be a problem, and there's hope it will exceed 100 million."

Hearing this, Guo Fan grinned, surprised that Tian Xiaole thought so highly of him.

I've seen quite a few movies that grossed 2 million or 3 million, but they were all directed by a few well-known big directors.

If he can achieve this result, he will definitely become famous overnight.

"By the way, Enlight Media is in charge of distribution, and you can discuss the publicity with Director Chen."

China Film Group invested all its resources in "The Founding of a Republic," while Enlight Media handled the distribution of "Source Code."

Guo Fan greeted them and then went to find Chen Zhixi, showing how much he valued her.

"August is such a good month."

As Tian Xiaole scrolled through the news online, she couldn't help but sigh. Xia Yu, who had been entangled with Gao Yuanyuan, announced his marriage to Yuan Quan.

The secret marriage between Liu Dehua and Zhu Liqian was also exposed by the media. The two registered their marriage in Las Vegas last year.

Ning Hao resigned himself to his fate, knowing that arguing was useless, so he simply stopped caring about the "No Man's Land".

"Old Na, write up that story you mentioned."

"Yes, finding another film to work on is the right idea."

Seeing Ning Hao's improved attitude, Xing Aina breathed a sigh of relief, fearing he might get stuck on something.

"This is a bit unfair to Xiao Le, as he has a significant share in [No Man's Land]."

Ning Hao recalled Tian Xiaole saying that the script was too dark and might not pass censorship, but he still resolutely invested in it, and he felt a little guilty.

"Then what should we do? Will there be any slots left for the new film?" Xing Aina asked.

"Whether he stays or not is his business; whether he stays or not is our business."

"Well, it's up to you."

Tian Xiaole was unaware that his image in Ning Hao's mind had unknowingly risen even higher.

With more and more Hong Kong filmmakers moving north, there is a lack of innovative content, leading to a trend of remakes.

Jeffrey Lau, the director of "A Chinese Odyssey," capitalized on his own popularity by filming a sequel, "Just Another Pandora's Box"!
[Source Code] At Guo Fan's request, the premiere was cancelled and the film was released directly.

According to him, once he achieves results, there will be plenty of opportunities to organize it.

This movie is still very competitive, with its novel time loop setting and post-production special effects produced by Coloroom Pictures.

Based solely on the screenwriter Tian Xiaole, the box office should be worth at least 50 million.

buzzing...

The phone on the table kept vibrating; it was Fan Binbin calling. Tian Xiaole answered it casually.

"Brother Le, have you forgotten something? I've been waiting for you."

Hearing Fan Binbin's sweet, delicate voice is quite a contrast to her image at public events.

Ingratiating oneself is the norm in the industry; a persona is created for fans.

Address~

Tian Xiaole coldly uttered these two words, finished replenishing his mana, and prepared to subdue the demon.

After noting that he wouldn't be going to the Chaoyang area, Fan Binbin sent over a new address.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone a big star like her. Palm Springs International Apartments is a newly built upscale residential complex with a fairly high occupancy rate.

The capital city truly has no shortage of wealthy people.

Tian Xiaole arrived at the garage fully disguised, where Fan Binbin was already waiting. She made no attempt to disguise herself.

They probably even hope to be photographed by paparazzi.

Tian Xiaole knew what she was thinking and felt it necessary to give her a warning: "If you want to do it again, you'd better pretend."

"I was just in a hurry to see you, I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Fan Binbin said with a wronged expression, and naturally took his arm.

The assistant watched the two adulterers walk away and couldn't help but spit. As for telling Tang Yan, she wasn't that stupid; she knew perfectly well who paid her salary.

·······
Cluck cluck~

The two people who had just entered the room were like dry tinder meeting a hot fire.

A man who hadn't had meat for days, and a woman who was eager to please and take the initiative.

Their lips met passionately, like two masters exchanging blows, until they were both panting heavily.

Tian Xiaole grabbed the hem of her clothes and pulled it up, and Xiao Fan cooperated by raising her hands.

Soon, only large-breasted bras were left.

Fan Binbin was about to pounce on him, but he stopped her.

"Where is the vixen I wanted?"

"I'll go change."

Xiao Fan, with her pert bottom, went to the dressing room to change into her battle outfit, and only then did Tian Xiaole have time to look around the room's layout.

The pink decorations everywhere reveal Xiao Fan's girlish heart.

Ring ring ring... Ring ring ring...

Upon hearing the sound of the bell, Tian Xiaole looked up. Despite having seen many grand occasions, he almost felt his blood boil and his whole body become restless.

Fan Binbin walked over with a cat-like gait, wearing two fluffy ears on her head, a piece of cloth hanging on her chest, and a fluffy tail stuck in her swaying buttocks, swinging back and forth with each step.

Seeing Tian Xiaole's fiery gaze pleased Fan Binbin. She put her hand on the former's shoulder and made a forward-leaning gesture.

"Little goblin, watch your move."

"Brother Le, come and catch me!"

Xiao Fan nimbly turned and dodged, the bell around her neck jingling enticingly.

"Interesting. Watch my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon."

Tian Xiaole used her special skill to rip off the cloth covering her breasts.

With a wicked grin, he pounced on the vixen, followed by a chorus of "Mommy, Mommy!"

The two of them ransacked every corner of the room, tacitly avoiding going to the bedroom to cast spells.

After being subdued, the fox spirit obediently lay in Tian Xiaole's arms and sat on the messy sofa.

"Brother Le, I've been free lately since I finished filming 'Painted Skin 2'."

"With your current status, you won't lack acting opportunities."

Tian Xiaole leaned back on the sofa, kneading glutinous rice balls in her hands.

"That being said, I also have aspirations; I want to act in films directed by great directors."

Fan Binbin thoughtfully adjusted his sitting posture to make it easier for him to perform his techniques.

"You're too calculating. Every time I finish with you, I have to make demands."

"It's because you usually ignore me. I only get to talk to you when you miss me."

Fan Binbin is capable of turning the tables. If he really tries to maintain an image of exchanging his body for resources, the two will only drift further apart.

Because she will grow old, but young women will always be there.

As a great director, he can visit a different brothel every day without repeating himself.

Every year, there are countless young and beautiful women who want to enter the entertainment industry.

Tian Xiaole thought about it and realized that it was indeed true; the actresses he ate with didn't interact much.

Thinking about the only person who's currently preparing for a new film, Director Chen asked, "You want to act in 'The Orphan of Zhao'?"

"Yes, the role of Zhuang Ji suits me very well."

"If you're so confident, why don't you just go for the audition?"

Tian Xiaole's hands were busy, changing them into different shapes.

"I'd like to too, but Director Chen only accepts invitations. I heard he invited Song Hye-kyo from South Korea to play the role."

Xiao Fan wasn't one to sit idly by and wait for his fate; he reached down with his hand.

"I'll recommend you to Chen Hong, whether it works out or not is up to you."

"Brother Le, you're so kind. I'll go put on my nurse's uniform."

Xiao Fan donned his armor and prepared for battle.

"Go."

Tian Xiaole slapped her pert buttocks; the actor and costume combined to create a very immersive experience.

·······
The next day.

Tian Xiaole was awakened by a ringing bell. After turning it off, it rang again a short while later.

He answered impatiently, speaking in a curt tone:
"Is there a problem?"

"Director Tian, ​​I'd like to report to you that [Source Code] achieved a score of 870 million on its first day."

Guo Fan was very excited when he received his results. He immediately called Tian Xiaole to share the good news. After noticing that something was wrong with Tian Xiaole's tone, he spoke much softer.

Tian Xiaole came to her senses and encouraged him, "These are good numbers. You've made a good start. Keep up the good work!"

"I am where I am today entirely thanks to Director Tian's guidance."

Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was too early: "Director Tian, ​​you should rest a bit more."

"This Guo Fan is too impatient."

Tian Xiaole shoved her phone under her pillow, looked at Xiao Fan who was sleeping soundly, and recalled the passionate confrontation last night. She then hugged her and went back to sleep.

Meanwhile, the first-day box office data for [Source Code] was already posted online.

"Guo Fan, a director under Xiaole Pictures, achieved a successful debut, with his film grossing 870 million yuan."

"..."

The film review titled "Rotten Egg" has been met with comments and reviews on various social media platforms, including those related to the source code.

"The sci-fi elements are a bit lacking, but the story is well told, which is very rare and valuable for a new director."

"As expected of Director Tian's script, the imagination is beyond doubt, the plot is captivating, and it's a great watch."

"If the final image had just stayed on that kiss, it would have been perfect, but whose life is without regrets?"

After the video was released online, the Beijing Film Academy was the first to react, and the school's official website expressed its congratulations to Guo Fan.

He took the entrance exam twice before being admitted to the Management Department of Beijing Film Academy to pursue a master's degree, almost missing out on this promising talent.

Now that students have achieved good results, both the school and the tutor deserve credit.
