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

The premiere of "The Founding of a Republic" was far larger in scale than that of a regular movie.

Featuring an all-star red carpet, high-profile performances, and interactions with the main cast and crew, this event promises to be the most lavish tribute in the history of Chinese cinema.

The film will be screened in multiple locations to expand its influence.

This is the style that Han Sanping likes; he wants to be the center of attention.

There is also a performance segment before the movie screening.

Sun Nan sings the theme song "Pursuit".

Cheng Long sang "The Nation" with deep emotion, and halfway through the song, he remarked that he was half a native of the capital.

To prove himself, he sang off-key several times.

This little incident thankfully didn't affect the rest of the performance, including Huang Xiaoming, Huang Shengyi, and Wang Feng...

On the stage, Wang Baoqiang performed a set of "turtle-style" punches.

Next came the performances by various song groups, which were staged to the standards of the Spring Festival Gala and were comparable to a small-scale variety show.

The film was officially screened, and its two-hour runtime tells the timeline from the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan in 1945, through the Chongqing negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, to the outbreak of the civil war, and finally to the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The core activities revolved around two main areas: political consultation and preparations for the founding of the nation.

It also showcases significant historical events such as the Chongqing Negotiations and the three major campaigns.

This all-star movie is flawless; even a minor character is played by a well-known actor.

It possesses both a sense of historical weight and a magnificent momentum.

As the film ended, thunderous applause erupted in the stadium. The audience, their expressions resolute, remained deeply moved by this masterpiece.

Han Sanping delivered a speech, discussing the film's all-star cast, and stated without hesitation:
"The enthusiastic participation from the industry is a good thing. On the one hand, it celebrates the nation's birthday, and on the other hand, it allows audiences of all ages to understand this period of history..."

"Mr. Han, what are your expectations for the box office performance of this movie?" a reporter asked.

"The number of copies ordered by major theater chains is on par with that of Pacific Rim, so I think it can achieve good box office results."

Han Sanping spoke with restraint, saying that he dared not even dream of reaching 10 billion, but he was still confident in looking forward to the next best result.

Tian Xiaole, as one of the directors, was a key target of reporters' attention.

"Director Tian, ​​what do you think of Director Feng's acting skills?"

Upon hearing the reporter's question, Feng Xiaogang, who was sitting in the audience, looked rather unpleasant. If Tian Xiaole were to belittle him, he would have no way to refute it.

Because he's the director of the "Shanghai Tiger Hunt" segment, he has absolute authority and power.

Tian Xiaole did not shy away from the question and said earnestly:
"That depends on who you compare him to. For most of the actors present, Director Feng's skills are much better."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the audience varied.

Many veteran actors nodded in approval. Feng Xiaogang first showed his acting skills in Jiang Wen's debut film, "In the Heat of the Sun," where he played a teacher.

Most of the young actors and actresses wore awkward yet smiling expressions.

At that time, the concept of "traffic stars" did not yet exist.

According to popular knowledge, Tang Guoqiang was known as a "pretty boy" when he was young.

"........."

The interview has ended, time for socializing.

Huang Xiaoming walked over with a wine glass in his hand, and said with a wry smile:
"Director Tian, ​​I received the notification, but I just signed a contract for Director Kaige's 'The Orphan of Zhao,' what do you think about this..."

He passed the audition for "Sacrifice" and had already signed a contract, but then he received a notification that he was being offered a role in "Pacific Rim".

If he had to choose between the two films, he would choose the latter without hesitation. Anyone who knows Director Chen knows that he is famously stingy.

If we breach the contract, it will be a slap in his face, and we will offend him outright.

Huang Xiaoming's kind-hearted nature puts him in a difficult dilemma due to this challenging choice.

When will the computer be turned on over there?

Tian Xiaole frowned; his production team definitely wouldn't allow him to film multiple projects at once.

"The initial timeframe is set for March next year, once the scene setup is complete."

"The overlap time is not much, and it's possible that filming will be completed ahead of schedule. In that case, we can ask Director Chen to postpone your scenes."

Most of the scenes for 【Pacific Rim】 were filmed in a studio, which didn't take much time; the main effort was put into post-production.

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of offending two big directors at once, which would basically mean he had to say goodbye to the entertainment industry.

·······
"Senior Brother Tian, ​​it's been a long time."

Just as Tian Xiaole had dismissed the person who came up to him trying to curry favor, he heard someone calling him in friendly terms.

Looking up, Huang Shengyi was standing behind him, wearing a pink off-shoulder dress.

"Oh, it's Junior Sister Huang. You look nice in your outfit today, but your singing isn't very good."

"Senior brother, you still talk like that, never giving girls any face."

Looking at Huang Shengyi, who was pretending to be innocent, Tian Xiaole said with a half-smile:

"You're married now, why do you still think of yourself as a girl?"

Hearing this, Huang Shengyi was startled. Her marriage to Yang Zi was a secret affair; they simply obtained their marriage certificate and did not hold a grand banquet.

"Senior brother, you already know."

Tian Xiaole smiled and said, "Congratulations on finding a good match."

For actresses like Huang Shengyi who lack connections and resources in the industry, getting married early is a smart choice.

Although Yangzi is not a good person, he is using her fame to get her involved in live-streaming sales in the future.

If Yang Zi didn't have a cuckold fetish, he definitely wouldn't have let Huang Shengyi accompany people for drinks and sell her body for resources.

In this respect alone, she is far superior to most actresses.

Huang Shengyi gave an awkward smile, thinking that Tian Xiaole was mocking her.

The resources she's been exposed to in recent years have all been small projects, which are draining her popularity as a "mute girl".

The life of a wealthy wife, as she fantasized about, simply doesn't exist.

"Senior brother, out of consideration for our past relationship, I hope to have the opportunity to act in your plays."

Tian Xiaole looked at her and finally nodded.

I won't comment on Huang Shengyi's later life, but she has been living under Yang Zi's PUA tactics, which have been draining her reputation and causing her public image to collapse.

·······
"It's my own choice, my idol!"

Tian Xiaole sighed, then shook his head with a smile.

"Brother Le, it's your fault for being so sentimental."

At some point, Fan Binbin ran up to him and asked a question knowingly as she watched Huang Shengyi's departing figure.

"Who else could it be but you, of course."

Tian Xiaole joked with a smile.

Looking at Fan Binbin, who was wearing a white short dress with her long hair draped behind her, she looked pure and lovely.

"Me? That would be my honor."

Regardless of whether what she said was true or false, a smile appeared on her face. Being remembered meant that her status in Tian Xiaole's eyes was rising.

After a few casual words, Fan Binbin mentioned that she and Deyun Club had invested in a movie called "The Three Smiles of a Talented Scholar and a Beautiful Woman".

She plays the female lead, while Guo Degang plays the male lead.

"Are crosstalk performers now entering the entertainment industry?"

"Yes, they even held a reception a while ago."

"You have terrible taste! You actually invested in a movie that sounds like it's going to flop?"

Tian Xiaole smiled and shook his head. Everyone's crowding into the entertainment industry; it really is a place of fame and fortune. "This film doesn't have a high budget. If we get two more companies to share the cost, even if we lose money, we can just consider it as gaining experience."

Seeing that Fan Binbin had his own ideas, Tian Xiaole didn't say anything more.

·······
People kept coming over to greet Tian Xiaole; ​​he was one of the most eye-catching guys there.

"Xiao Qin, come here for a second."

Tian Xiaole waved to Qin Lan, who was not far away but had not managed to squeeze through.

She pointed uncertainly to herself. In such a public place, every move she made would be magnified, let alone calling someone that in public.

Qin Lan walked over with a joyful smile on her face, lifting her skirt as people around her made way for her.

People were whispering among themselves.

"This person is really lucky. It must be a good thing that Director Tian sought her out in this kind of situation."

That goes without saying!

I just wanted to do something, but doing it in front of so many people is just too much.

The people around him gave him disdainful looks.

"Director Tian... Director Tian, ​​you were looking for me?"

Qin Lan almost blurted out "Bang bang".

If possible, why not call it out on the spot?

Unfortunately, she knew Tian Xiaole wouldn't allow it.

"We've cleared our schedule for the second half of the year; there are plans to film the sequel to 'Speed ​​Chase'."

Squishy~
The sound of knees shattering was heard all around. Was this Hollywood resource just given away like that?

Fan Binbin, standing not far away, looked at Qin Lan, whose face was full of smiles. She looked like an ordinary female celebrity. Why could she win Tian Xiaole's favor?
She suddenly felt the competition was fierce. She was prettier and had a better figure than others, so why wasn't she good enough?

"Don't worry, Director Tian, ​​I'll have the company make sure the schedule is available."

Qin Lan was a little excited. She hadn't expected that she would be cast in this sequel, which had grossed $2 million worldwide.

After all, he hadn't received a summons from Tian Xiaole during this time and thought he was being neglected.

If it weren't for the occasion, she would have pounced on him.

Many actors who witnessed this scene felt only envy and jealousy. Why wasn't it me?

Many film and television company owners have other ideas regarding the investment in this film...

·······
The premiere of "The Founding of a Republic" has ended, and the internet is full of discussions about the film.

Star-studded, an all-star lineup—that's not enough to describe it.

The most anticipated thing in the industry is that Qin Lan will continue to star in the sequel to "Speed ​​Chase".

The actors under Xiaole Pictures have different ideas, so this kind of project should be focused on their own people.
They could only think about this in their hearts; no one dared to bring it up.

At this moment, Tian Xiaole is convening a meeting with all departments of the production crew, including costumes, props, and logistics...

The importance attached to the film "Pacific Rim" cannot be overstated. With the first film as a foundation, the audience's expectations for the sequel will only be higher.

"In terms of the monster's appearance, I want the visual effect to be impactful, the skin texture to be more detailed, and ideally to be lifelike."

The monster suits in the first film were produced by Beijing Film Studio, but this time everything will be done by Xiaole Pictures.

Tian Xiaole wants to cultivate a team that can independently complete all procedures.

During the three-hour closed-door meeting, each group shared their opinions and added details.

The launch of the sequel to Pacific Rim has energized everyone, and this film is enough to make them go down in film history.

"The props team needs to go to real cities to research and recreate the street scenes for me as accurately as possible. Even a single sign on the street can't be faked..."

Does anyone have anything to add?

Tian Xiaole rested his hands on the table and glanced around at everyone in the conference room. They were all members of his crew who had followed him since the filming of "Supermarket".

"Since there isn't one, let's adjourn the meeting. Everyone should get their responsibilities sorted out. I'll check them one by one when I get back to China."

Just as Tian Xiaole returned to the office, Chen Zhixi walked in, her high heels clicking softly.

"Boss, this is the list of people accompanying us."

Tian Xiaole's trip to the United States this time was not primarily to visit Tang Yan on set; he also needed to bring the script for "Extreme Speed" and the accompanying location scouting team.

The United States, Australia, and Europe are all regions with high box office returns. The sequel to "Pacific Rim" will only be able to garner even more box office revenue by incorporating their mechs.

"Just them."

Tian Xiaole handed the list back and said, "[Source Code] did well at the box office, let's throw a celebration banquet for Guo Fan."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

"Go ahead."

Chen Zhixi swayed her hips as she walked away, and less than five minutes later, she knocked on the door and came in again.

"Boss, this is a subscription letter from LeEco."

"Subscription letter, what are you buying?"

Tian Xiaole was puzzled. After looking through the so-called letter, a complicated and incomprehensible smile appeared on her face.

"Boss, what are they selling?"

"stock."

"Oh! Aren't they not publicly listed?"

Chen Zhixi realized what was going on and said, "They want to learn from Huayi and let their artists subscribe to stocks, but since they don't have any signed actors, they're setting their sights on the industry."

"Well, that's what it means."

Many prominent directors, actors, and celebrities in the industry have received subscription letters from LeEco.

It sounds very appealing; after buying shares, you can expect to reap many times the return once the company goes public.

Huayi Brothers at least uses its own people, while LeEco targets the entire entertainment industry, giving the impression that the more the merrier.

People in the entertainment industry generally have low levels of education and are easily fooled. Quite a few directors and actors actually bought LeEco stock.

Everyone's waiting to go public and get their share of the profits!
"Boss, how much are you planning to subscribe to this time?"

Tian Xiaole glanced at her and said irritably, "Buy my ass! These kinds of garbage stocks, they all go silent once you buy them."

Chen Zhixi smiled awkwardly, wanting to say that she was quite enthusiastic when buying Huayi's stock.

·······
After the news of "Extreme Speed" spread, many film and television companies inquired about the share.

Tian Xiaole left Han Sanping 10%, as film imports depend on China Film Group's policies.

Although he could have been directly brought in based on his fame and status, he still brought in China Film Group, which was to help Han Kuo-yu accumulate political achievements.

Cultural exports are a way to earn US dollars, and the authorities attach great importance to this.

Furthermore, the two cooperated quite well, and Lao Han was willing to take responsibility. Faced with the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, he was truly willing to go all out.

All other companies that inquired, including Guangming, Wanda, Yinghuang, Xingmei, Huayi, and Chengtian, were rejected.

15 number.

Tian Xiaole set off for the United States, and when the group appeared at the airport, it was hard not to be recognized.

"Director Tian, ​​are you heading to Hollywood to prepare for filming 'The Chase'?"

"Director Tian, ​​you're taking so many people abroad, is there some kind of mission?"

"Director Tian..."

Reporters who had been waiting at the airport surrounded them, bombarding them with questions.

Tian Xiaole ignored them and, escorted by bodyguards, went straight to the VIP lounge to wait for boarding. (End of Chapter)
