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

While Tian Xiaole was still in the air, the entertainment industry was in an uproar.

News of the filing for "Pacific Rim 2" has already spread.

The major film companies that were eyeing this project were like headless flies, unable to get in touch with anyone.

Many people went to Han Sanping's side. Logically speaking, a leader of his level who could be approached by him must not be a nobody.

There are state-owned film companies such as Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, and Ningbo Film Group, as well as private companies with ties to them, such as Berna Film Group and Poly Huayi Film Group.

"Old Han, Xiao Le promised that he would include Poly Huayi in the share of Pacific Rim 2. He's not kidding, is he?"

Dong Ping was quite worried. The script had already been submitted for review, but there had been no notification regarding the allocation of shares, and he was concerned that things might change.

His identity, which allows him to participate in this kind of project, is more important than making money.

"Don't worry, Xiao Le never breaks his promises."

"I'm relieved with your words."

"Old Dong, you've really hit the jackpot. Judging from Xiao Le's intentions, he's only letting you join this time; he's rejected Lao Ren's offer."

Han Sanping did not forget to ask for favors on behalf of Tian Xiaole.

"I should thank him. This time I won't take more than I should. I'll buy the shares at a premium. I won't be as short-sighted as Ren Zhonglun."

Dong Ping accepted this kindness and knew how to maintain a long-term, positive relationship.

Upon landing at Los Angeles International Airport, Tian Xiaole spotted the conspicuous James, dressed in a flashy black suit and wearing sunglasses. He looked like he was cosplaying Agent 007, with several Pangu Pictures staff members standing behind him.

"Boss, it's been a long time. You're still as handsome and dashing as ever."

James said those words in a strange accent.

If it weren't for the devout and earnest smile on his face, Tian Xiaole would have reason to suspect that he had gone astray in his studies.

"You're acting more like the boss than me. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the boss."

Upon hearing this, James was momentarily unsure. His Chinese teacher had said that Chinese culture is profound and complex, and one must discern praise from sarcasm based on the person's expression.

Just 0.01 seconds later, James reacted and flashed a fawning smile:
"Boss, you must be tired from your journey. Leave the luggage to me."

As a result, he quickly took the suitcase that the assistant was pushing.

The group of people traveling with him were dumbfounded. This well-known independent film company owner in China was actually their boss's henchman.

It turns out we're all on the same side.

"You've still kept your original intentions, so I trust you completely."

Tian Xiaole patted James on the shoulder, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief.

To put it in Chinese, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.

Several Ford SUVs sped towards Hollywood.

"Boss, everyone else has arranged hotels. Are you staying at a hotel, or going to Beverly Hills?"

"Let's go to Beverly Hills. I'll be staying here for a while this time."

Tian Xiaole leaned back in his seat and asked, "Is the release schedule for 'Humanity 3' all set?"

"Too many companies are eyeing good dates, especially those six big names, who have set their sights on the end of September."

James said somewhat dejectedly, "The Big Six Hollywood studios are like a mountain weighing down on all independent filmmakers. They have the confidence to control the distribution channels."

"With the foundation laid by the first two films, as long as the quality is guaranteed, the box office performance won't be too bad."

Tian Xiaole is very confident in the "Human" series, believing that the films will appeal to North American audiences.

For the Anssa people, who have a history of genocide, this is a thrilling movie; otherwise, why would the first two films have been so successful at the box office?

The content and quality are both mediocre.

········
At Fox Studios, filming of "Now You See Me" is in full swing.

This movie features a lot of magic scenes, but of course, we don't expect the lead actors to be able to learn them; they were all created through post-production special effects.

"Click."

Director Louis Leterrier, noticing Tang Yan's distracted expression, reminded her:
"Tang, don't get distracted, concentrate."

"I'm sorry, director, it's my fault."

Tang Yan knew that Tian Xiaole was arriving today, and her heart had already flown away. During the filming just now, she was a beat slow to react.

The other main actors in the crew all showed good-natured smiles; they certainly didn't have Tang Yan's box office success on her own.

Moreover, everyone knows this is a series, so if you don't want to be killed off, it goes without saying who you'll treat better.

After all, he was handpicked to join the production team as soon as the project was launched.

On the other side, Tian Xiaole returned to her long-missed Beverly Hills villa.

She bought it at a very low price during the 08 financial crisis and transferred it to Tang Yan's name; this is what she deserves.

The two big golden retrievers, Little Golden and Little Hair, clearly recognized Tian Xiaole and kept circling around him.

"This is the script for 'Speed ​​Chase 2.' Take it and register it. De Monaco will direct this film."

"Boss, aren't you going to direct it yourself?" James asked in surprise.

"I started the project for Pacific Rim 2; this movie is the most important one."

Tian Xiaole is here this time to select actors:
"By the way, this movie needs two Hollywood actors. Please send invitations to Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson."

"Ryan is easy to get, but Scarlett is a bit of a problem. She's starring in Marvel's Iron Man 2 this year, so she probably won't agree to play a supporting role again."

"This film is an ensemble piece, and they are considered one of the main characters."

Tian Xiaole revealed a meaningful smile, thinking that once Iron Man 2 is released, Scarlett Johansson will gain widespread recognition for her role as Black Widow.

We can make some money out of it when the movie is released.

This film brought Scarlett Johansson fame, but it also led to her divorce from Ryan Reynolds. In Hollywood, a world of fame and fortune, separation is inevitable when there's a mismatch between status and fame.

Tian Xiaole did a good deed by getting the two of them to work together on a film, which at least postponed their separation.

James, clutching the script for "Speed," happily scurried off. He knew that if he got a role, he'd get a bonus, and he still had his eye on the large mansion in Beverly Hills.

"Brother Le, I miss you so much!"

Tian Xiaole was sitting on the living room sofa, replying to Chen Zhixi's messages, when suddenly everything went black before his eyes, and Tang Yan pounced on him.

The two assistants exchanged a glance, and they could see a smile in each other's eyes, indicating that it was bound to be a bloody and violent night.

"How's filming going? How long will it take to wrap up?"

Tian Xiaole held Tang Yan in his arms, and looking at the alluring look in her eyes, his fingers began to move.

"Filming is already more than halfway done, and we should be able to wrap it up by the end of the month."

Tang Yan wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned against him, and said in a sweet voice:
"Brother Le, it's getting late, let's rest."

Tian Xiaole glanced at the time and said, feigning ignorance, "It's only eight o'clock in the evening, it's still early."

"Brother Le, you, you're so mean, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Seeing Tian Xiaole's ambiguous smile, Tang Yan knew she was being teased.

"Haha, then I'll grant your wish."

Tian Xiaole picked the person up and carried them upstairs to their room.

The person in her arms couldn't wait any longer and kissed her with red lips.

The rain that fell all night drenched the loquats, making a truly loud and unpleasant sound.

The next day.

Tang Yan went to the film set looking radiant, though her walking posture was a bit strange.

"Sister Yan, how about we ask the crew for a day off today?" the assistant suggested.

"Ah! Why? I'm perfectly fine."

Tang Yan blushed and glared at her assistant, thinking he was teasing her.

"Sister Yan, you're walking a little pigeon-toed today."

"Oh! Is that so?"

Tang Yan subconsciously covered her buttocks. It was all because she was too excited last night; all roads lead to Rome.

On the other side, Tian Xiaole, who hadn't received a single drop of blood, received a call from James.

"Boss, Ryan readily agreed, but Scarlett is asking for a million dollars a month, which is a bit greedy. She only got 40 when she filmed Iron Man 2."

"Give it to her," Tian Xiaole uttered.

This is before Iron Man 2 was released; once the movie was released, the salary would be much higher.

Having secured two Hollywood actors, Tian Xiaole assigned tasks to the location scouting team.

A team traveled to Sydney, Australia, to find street scenes to film and negotiate with locals about the work that followed.

Another group headed to New York. The Statue of Liberty has been destroyed countless times in Hollywood disaster movies, and he wouldn't mind destroying it again.

Domestically, everyone knows that Tian Xiaole went to Hollywood, but nobody knows his itinerary.

I can't get in touch with them, so I can only worry anxiously.

I'm talking about you—Ren Zhonglun.

The Pacific Rim is a nationally known project. I missed it last time and was ridiculed for a long time. I can't imagine how the public opinion will be if I miss it again this time.

"Haven't you found out Director Tian's specific schedule yet?"

"not yet."

Ren Zhonglun waved his hand impatiently, wanting to go to the United States in person to ask for a share of the "Pacific Rim" project, just to participate.

I don't even know the schedule now, I can only worry anxiously.

The movie "The Founding of a Republic" has been released.

Domestic cinemas have given this film preferential screenings.

1450 copies were released, and with the addition of digital copies, it covered almost all cinemas in China.

This means that at the same time, 90% of the screens are showing "The Founding of a Republic".

It premiered on the 16th at 2 PM and had grossed 15 million yuan by noon.

The film officially premiered on the second day and grossed 2100 million yuan. The official opening day box office figure was announced as 3600 million yuan.

Unaware of the facts, netizens exclaimed in surprise that China's second billion-yuan-level film is about to be born.

To boost box office revenue, China Film Group even made a slogan: to make this film set a new box office record.

It might fool netizens who are unaware of the truth, but those in the industry know perfectly well that expecting to achieve the same high box office as "Pacific Rim" is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

[Source Code] It has completely failed to attract any box office revenue and has been taken off the screens.

The total box office reached 1.37 million, not including Hong Kong Island and other overseas markets.

Guo Fan achieved great success with his first film, earning a fortune.

Invitations to Xiaole Pictures' celebratory banquet have been sent to all major film companies in the industry.

Such achievements certainly deserve to be publicized.

At this moment, Guo Fan was not happy about this achievement; he was busy with the tasks assigned by Tian Xiaole.

Overseeing the construction of city models for Shanghai and Hong Kong Island—this kind of special effects blockbuster is what he yearns for. (End of Chapter)
