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

"Since you've come to Xiaole Pictures, that means you've chosen us, right?"

"Yes, Director Tian, ​​I would prefer to sell the script to your company."

Bao Jingjing nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic.

A company called Huamei Shikong originally wanted to buy the adaptation rights to her novel, promising to adapt it into a movie or TV series.

She was quite tempted by the promise from the director of "Dwelling Narrowness".

Because she was busy with the publication of her novel, she hadn't signed a contract yet. After Chen Zhixi found her and explained her purpose,

Bao Jingjing chose Xiaole Pictures without hesitation, after all, their reputation speaks for itself, and hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to her profession.

"You are Professor Xue's student, and I have high hopes for your talent. Would you be interested in joining our company?"

Tian Xiaole extended an invitation to her.

To be able to write a work like this right after graduation is far better than most screenwriters in China.

The company will grow faster and faster, and it's impossible to have all the directors we've signed prepare scripts.

Having a professional team of screenwriters responsible for creation and adaptation saves him a lot of time and is also a complete process.

"Of course I'd like to, I can start today."

Bao Jingjing was very excited. She was more than willing to join an industry giant and get to see big stars anytime.

Where else can you find such a good thing as finding a job right after graduation?

"Go find Director Chen and join the company. You'll get the novel's copyright fee at market price, and the screenplay and film adaptation will be your responsibility."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bao Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked:

"Director Tian, ​​who should we give the script to?"

She wouldn't dare to imagine having Tian Xiaole direct it.

"Let's get the script out first, and then we can discuss the rest."

"OK then."

Bao Jingjing nodded, but there was still one most important question she hadn't asked:

"Director Tian, ​​will you give me credit?"

In China's film and television industry, screenwriters have never been highly valued, especially those who are not yet famous.

Often, a script produced by a group of people will only have the name of the well-known screenwriter credited.

Firstly, others are not qualified and are in the internship stage.

Secondly, established screenwriters can reassure the audience, and over time, it will naturally become more difficult for newcomers to stand out.

"Of course I'll stay. The company doesn't have those kinds of troublesome things; I can only speak up."

Upon hearing this, Bao Jingjing nodded heavily, brimming with energy, as if fame was just around the corner.

········
The sci-fi mecha movie "Robot Man" has been released.

The box office of 940 million on the first day is laughable.

I only went to the cinema to support the film because the male lead was Hu Jun.

The result was a backlash, with a flood of negative reviews and countless sarcastic remarks online.

Before the film's release, various attempts to attract attention were made; after the release, it became clear who was truly exposed.

"A nonsensical, overly long piece of nonsense, the strongest contender for the worst film of the year, currently far ahead."

"With a plot like this, how dare they try to piggyback on someone else's success? What was the director thinking? It's outrageous."

"Of the 100 million production budget, how much did the people of Hong Kong embezzle?"

"Fraudulent movie, RNM refunds!"

·······
Tian Xiaole frowned when he saw the film's reviews and box office figures.

As the lead actor, Hu Jun's appearance in such a terrible film will definitely damage his reputation.

Casting him in the sequel to Pacific Rim would inevitably have some impact.

Never mind, I'll just remind him to be more careful.

Hu Jun's position is awkward. He follows Wang Jinghua and, although he is a child of a high-ranking official, he does not belong to the Beijing elite circle.

Later, they even went to Hong Kong to look for resources. These new investors in China, such as LeEco and Pony Ma, paid their dues in the end.

Getting ripped off by people from Hong Kong Island is something they deserve.

[Source Code] has reached the end of its run, and with its novel content and the support of screenwriter Tian Xiaole, it has achieved a box office of over 100 million yuan.

Guo Fan became famous overnight and instantly became a hot commodity in the industry, with invitations to various banquets pouring in.

Only after learning that they had signed a 10-year contract with Xiaole Pictures and that there were hefty penalties for breach of contract did they finally stop.

There are only a handful of commercial film directors in China, and each one is in a specific position. Companies like Xiao Ma, LeTV, Mei Ah, and Enlight Media don't have any directors they've trained themselves.

Since poaching talent didn't work, their interest naturally waned.

The large-scale propaganda campaign for "The Founding of a Republic" has begun.

With nearly two hundred celebrities from the film and television industry participating, the box office is bound to be high thanks to the star power.

Just thinking about it makes my head tingle.

It is foreseeable that the entertainment industry will be dominated by this movie from now on.

[The Beginning] premiered on Hunan TV, riding on the popularity of the movie.

Thanks to Xiaole Pictures' production and the star power of Luo Jin and Shu Chang, the premiere ratings were quite good.

At the same time, its market share reached 13%, which is more than enough to surpass the hugely popular "Chinese Paladin 3", but it will be a bit difficult to reach the level of "My Love from the Star".

It is said that after Wang Luodan finished playing the second female lead in "My Love from the Star", she was busy running around for various endorsements and magazine press releases and did not join the crew.

She was the shrewdest and the most willing to lower herself; she knew that if she wanted high-quality resources, she had to come to Tian Xiaole and act cute.

"Brother Le, I haven't even started filming yet in the second half of the year, I'm almost unemployed."

"What, you're a top-tier actor, and you don't get any scripts?"

Tian Xiaole pinched Wang Luodan's bottom, and she rubbed against him in pain.

"I don't like the scripts you offer me. I wish I could be like Tang Yan. She keeps going to Hollywood. You're being too biased."

Hearing this, Tian Xiaole's expression became more serious: "Don't compare yourself to Tang Yan, you are different."

Wang Luodan seemed not to have reacted yet, pouting as she said:

"If she can do it, I can too. Why can't I compare to her?"

"There's no comparison; to me, they're not comparable."

This was the first time Tian Xiaole had truly acknowledged Tang Yan's extraordinary status; in Hong Kong a few years ago, she would have been considered the first wife.

Even if Wang Luodan was stupid, she could still tell the difference between the different levels of understanding, and she pouted.

Everyone has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. Does Tang Yan have gold inlay?
"Alright, the company is adapting a movie script, and the female lead is for you."

As one of the earliest followers of Tian Xiaole, and having signed a 10-year contract, it's unfair to show too much favoritism.

Upon hearing this, Wang Luodan smiled, having achieved her goal.

"Brother Le, you're so kind. We haven't done this in ages. Come to my place tonight."

"Maybe next time. I've been busy writing the script lately and haven't had the energy."

Faced with the enthusiastic invitation, Tian Xiaole cruelly refused, even though his mana bar wasn't full yet.

"Oh, then I'd also like to invite Liying along."

Wang Luodan said with a half-smile.

Men! She knows them very well!
Sure enough, she saw Tian Xiaole's eyes light up; she was very tempted.

"Once I finish writing my script, I'll really see how amazing you sisters are."

Tian Xiaole was very excited. As a famous director, he was finally able to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), but he still restrained himself.

These next few days we must conserve our energy so we can take them down in one fell swoop.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you."

Wang Luodan gave a meaningful look and left the office, turning back every few steps.
