Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica
Chapter 300: Two Projects!
The next day.
Bright sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the messy room.
Torn stockings and clothes were scattered on the carpet.
Tian Xiaole straightened up, let out a long sigh, and pushed Xiao Fan off him:
"You little devil, you're so heavy!"
Fan Binbin seized this opportunity and used all his tricks, frequently changing into various professional uniforms, in an attempt to win over Tian Xiaole's heart.
At the very least, if you can pique her interest and pay more attention to her, that would be a success.
"Are you satisfied, Brother Le? I prepared all of this carefully for you."
"Hmm, not bad, but red stockings don't suit you. They look a bit strange on you."
"I'll listen to you, and I won't wear them anymore."
Fan Binbin looked very well-behaved.
After regaining her senses, Tian Xiaole got up and walked to the bathroom, swinging the giant swing.
"Brother Le, let me rub your back."
"No need, you just need to rest."
"Oh, okay then~"
Fan Binbin didn't force herself; her physical discomfort made her give up the idea of bathing together.
After washing up.
Tian Xiaole looked at the messy room and the trash can overflowing with small umbrellas.
"I'll have someone come and tidy it up."
"No, I'll do it myself later. I don't want anyone to see me like this."
Fan Binbin waved his hand in refusal.
Seeing her pathetic state, Tian Xiaole nodded and said:
"I have to go now, I have a lot of things to take care of at the company."
"Don't forget about the audition!" Fan Binbin reminded her.
"Ok, I know."
Fan Binbin noticed that Tian Xiaole's legs were a little weak and she was walking lightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
This is a lose-lose situation.
·······
The nanny van was already waiting in the underground parking lot.
Tian Xiaole quickly got into the car, and her assistant handed her the lunch she had bought from the passenger seat.
Only then did she notice that her boss looked drained and very pale, and she whispered a reminder:
"Boss, take care of yourself."
"You talk too much!"
Tian Xiaole glared at her, then opened the stew pot and started drinking; she was genuinely hungry.
"Is Fan Binbin really that stingy? He doesn't even provide food, he just keeps taking from me?"
The assistant, being quite gossipy, asked curiously.
Tian Xiaole ignored her and raised the middle partition.
I almost lost my strength in that battle this morning.
Fan Binbin had been neglected for too long, and last night he went crazy, using all his tricks to show off all his strengths.
In the editing room of Xiaole Films.
Post-production work on "Shoplifters" and "Painted Skin 2" is currently underway here.
Lao Tian is a staunch supporter of arthouse films, embodying the typical artsy, intellectual type.
However, he still attaches great importance to film series like "Painted Skin" and keeps a close eye on them.
"Where have you been? You look like you haven't slept well."
Seeing Tian Xiaole walk in, sporting panda eyes, Old Tian asked curiously.
"I'm a bit exhausted from brainstorming the script for the Pacific Rim sequel," Tian Xiaole lied.
Old Tian, being an experienced man, knew exactly what was going on. When he was young, he often used filming as an excuse to date the leading ladies.
Xu Fan is not an isolated case.
What's this called? A perfect match!
"After finishing 'Painted Skin 2,' I'll go back to making art films; commercial films aren't my pursuit."
Old Tian stared at the footage being edited, occasionally giving the editor pointers on how to cut it.
"You can decide for yourself. As long as it doesn't involve sensitive topics, I will support you."
Tian Xiaole yawned and glanced at Lao Tian: "[Shoplifters], keep an eye on things for me, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
······
As soon as I returned to the office, Chen Zhixi came over, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor.
"Boss, the exclusive broadcasting rights for the first round of 'The Beginning' have been bought by Hunan TV for 1.8 million per episode."
"Hmm, this price is acceptable."
The box office performance of "Source Code" brought the time loop setting into the public eye; otherwise, it wouldn't have sold for such a high price.
"This is the filming project plan submitted by director Gao Qunshu."
"His new movie?"
Tian Xiaole took the document and flipped through it. This kind of director who could find scripts himself saved him a lot of trouble.
However, there are uncertainties, and whether it is accepted by the market is the key.
"【The West Wind is Fierce】!"
After flipping through two pages, Tian Xiaole frowned. Not only had he never heard of the title, but it was also a Western police and gangster film.
It tells the story of four policemen who venture deep into the desert to hunt down a criminal.
It looks a bit like a remake of "No Man's Land," just with different character settings.
The subject matter is positive and uplifting, unlike the dark and negative style of films like "No Man's Land".
How much investment did he apply for?
"Ten million."
"Give it to him. This kind of subject matter may not do well at the box office, but we should still support it."
Seeing that Chen Zhixi hadn't yet started assigning tasks, Tian Xiaole asked, "Is there anything else you need to report to me?"
Yes, there are.
On the "Rotten Eggs" website, there's a novel called "[Novel or Guide]", which is quite interesting and has the potential for adaptation.
"Really? I'll check."
Tian Xiaole waved his hand, telling Chen Zhixi to get on with her work.
tick tock...
She walked away in her high heels. Tian Xiaole had no energy to read any novels. She lay down on the office chair, put her feet on the table, and closed her eyes to rest.
On the other side, Xiao Fan's stomach was growling with hunger, and she prepared to get out of bed to find something to eat.
At this time, the outside world was in an uproar because of the release of a movie.
Anyone in the Chinese film and television industry knows that a script with a ghost story in it will definitely not pass censorship.
But one incredibly resourceful noblewoman managed to get the film approved without any problems, and it was even released.
"Love will come again!"
At this moment, Ning Hao fainted in the toilet from crying.
"Damn it, just because I don't have a good father or a good family background, they're all taking advantage of me."
"What, you want to compete with others? I can only say that being born into the right family is a skill."
Hearing Ning Hao's complaint, Tian Xiaole laughed and joked.
"Sigh, I had already given up and was trying to find other projects to distract myself, but the release of this movie has really gotten to me again."
After venting his frustrations, Ning Hao tentatively asked, "Are you still going to invest in my new project?"
"Go ahead and invest, your project won't cost much anyway."
"That's going too far! I'm already like this, and you're still trying to discourage me." Ning Hao protested, noting that the highest investment he had ever made since his debut was only 30 million.
For a director who has earned hundreds of millions of yuan, this is indeed a bit embarrassing.
"Just come over and sign the contract once the project budget is ready."
If Tian Xiaole remembers correctly, it should be that movie, but it doesn't seem to have made much money.
Consider it a way of supporting a friend.
I had just hung up on Ning Hao when my phone rang again. I glanced at the caller ID:
"Sister Xue, is there something you need?"
"Xiao Le..."
·······
At the entrance of Beijing Film Academy, in a coffee shop not far away, Tian Xiaole met Xue Xiaolu, who had invited him.
"Xiao Le, sit down quickly. What would you like to drink?"
Tian Xiaole didn't take the drink order, but said, "Give me a mocha."
After the waiter left, Xue Xiaolu took out a thick stack of bound booklets from her bag and handed them over.
"Xiao Le, do you know anything about autism?"
"Like Rain Man?"
As Tian Xiaole asked the question, he took the documents that she handed him.
Then Xue Xiaolu said, "The first part is about autism, and the second part is a script I wrote based on this condition to raise awareness about this disease."
Tian Xiaole nodded, casually flipped through the script, and then closed it.
How much investment is still needed?
Seeing how readily Tian Xiaole agreed, Xue Xiaolu didn't hold back either and said directly:
"Five million should be enough, and the actors have all agreed to act for free."
"Eight million, so we can have some good food during filming."
Domestically produced films with realistic themes like these are unlikely to achieve high box office returns.
As for winning awards and buying copyrights abroad, that's even less likely, because you're filming Chinese people, not self-proclaimed superior white people.
Besides, this kind of meaningful subject matter needs to be brought to the attention of more people; Tian Xiaole isn't doing this for the money.
He took the role of Lingling.
Whoever is free in the company, let them do it.
Having secured the investment, Xue Xiaolu was in a good mood and chatted with Tian Xiaole for a while longer.
The sight of the two chatting was recognized by passing students from the Beijing Film Academy, and the news spread like wildfire.
The buzz surrounding "My Love from the Star" hasn't died down yet, so who knows, they might be discussing some kind of collaboration.
Outside the coffee shop, Tian Xiaole and Xue Xiaolu had just parted ways when he received a call from Wang Jinsong.
It's a real shame that someone with the latter talent isn't in sales.
"Xiao Le, don't forget to take care of the juniors at Beijing Film Academy in your project with Professor Xue."
"Hey Lao Wang, your ears are too sharp!"
Tian Xiaole chuckled and joked, "I've invested in Sister Xue's charity project, so the younger students shouldn't come and cause trouble."
"Oh, it's Professor Xue's script. It's indeed a good subject matter."
After exchanging a few words with Wang Jingsong, Tian Xiaole headed home.
There are many students coming and going at the Beijing Film Academy, but none of them dare to come up and say hello.
The difference in their social status was too great, not to mention the two bodyguards following behind them.
········
"Dad~"
"Oh, my precious daughter!"
As soon as Tian Xiaole entered the door, Xiao Tianxin rushed over.
She's almost three years old, about 100 centimeters tall, and weighs about 40 kilograms. When you hold her, she looks like a little ball of flesh.
Anyone who grew up with their grandparents knows that there's a kind of hunger that only elders perceive in you.
Goodness, Daddy can barely carry you anymore.
"Tian Xin should be starting kindergarten by now," the old lady said.
Tian Xiaole was stunned for a moment. Time flies so fast. It's almost time to go to school.
"I'll keep an eye out and see which kindergartens are good."
"In my opinion, you should just go to the Beijing Film Studio; it's close by."
"Let's forget it. The factory's kindergarten accepts all sorts of people. I don't trust them."
If you're looking for the best teaching staff, the safest environment, and the most secure privacy, government agencies are the top choice.
Despite Tian Xiaole's great achievements in the film and television industry, he was still not qualified to enter the industry and could only set his sights on private enterprises.
This is the food chain in China; no matter how prestigious you are, there are schools you can't get into.
"Dad, I don't want to go to school, I want to play."
"You can meet a lot of friends at kindergarten, are you sure you don't want to go?"
"I want to go, I want to go to kindergarten."
Xiao Tianxin happily raised her hand, just when she was lacking playmates.
········
The next day, there were many entertainment news stories, but what surprised the industry the most was the performance of [Source Code].
It grossed 2540 million yuan in its first three days.
It has the potential to be a dark horse.
Comments about "Love Comes Again" have disappeared both online and offline, and the film's box office performance has been lackluster.
Previously, "Robot Man," which had tried to piggyback on the success of "Pacific Rim," has begun a large-scale publicity campaign.
Director Jeffrey Lau stated that the film utilizes a large amount of computer-generated special effects, featuring numerous large-scale scenes that rival other science fiction films.
Having said that, it's obvious who they're trying to scam.
The celebrity section also features a lot of news, including stories of people admitting to marriage, being beaten in the street, and being reported by the Chaoyang masses.
The most eye-catching news was the meeting between Tian Xiaole and Xue Xiaolu.
One is a renowned director, and the other is an emerging director; their recently collaborated TV series has become a huge hit.
"Director Tian Xiaole and director Xue Xiaolu chatted for an hour, suggesting a possible new collaboration."
Many people came to inquire about the project, but after Tian Xiaole mentioned that it was an art-themed project, they all fell silent.
He can casually spend millions to have fun; other people don't have that kind of guts.
Taking advantage of the buzz, Xue Xiaolu released details about her new drama.
"【Ocean Heaven】is a film that focuses on the autistic community, allowing more people to understand this disease, and early detection and intervention can greatly alleviate its symptoms."
Here, I would like to thank Xiaole Pictures for investing in the film, and Li Lianjie, Wen Zhang, and Dong Xuan for their willingness to act in the film without receiving any payment…
Media coverage has brought this film, which hasn't even started filming yet, a great deal of attention.
While browsing news online, Tian Xiaole suddenly remembered Chen Zhixi's recommendation from yesterday.
Open the [Rotten Egg] video website, and you'll find that this strangely named novel is quite popular.
It has attracted many netizens to follow the story, urge for more updates, and send monthly tickets to show their support.
They're all handsome guys!
"Dahlia is also a female author."
The novel tells the story of Huang Xiaocan, who is cheated on by her boyfriend of seven years before her wedding. During her 33-day recovery period, she is healed by her sharp-tongued yet warm-hearted colleague, Wang Xiaojian.
The story of how they went from undermining each other to supporting each other and eventually overcoming heartbreak.
It has both laughter and tears, and is highly adaptable.
Tian Xiaole pressed the red button on the table, and a moment later, her assistant strolled in.
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
"Go and buy the rights to this novel (or guide) from the 'Rotten Eggs' website."
"Ok."
The assistant wiggled her hips and walked away; she was no longer the Shamat with her mushroom haircut.
She grew her hair long and wore black stockings and a bodycon skirt, and she looked quite the part.
Tian Xiaole withdrew her gaze and sent a text message to Chen Hong, recommending that there was no need to personally call and explain such matters. (End of Chapter)
