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

A muscular, naked man is sleeping.

His face looked somewhat haggard, as if he had run out of ammunition and food, and he lay limp like a slime.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Beverly Hills, illuminating his firm and bouncy buttocks.

It's the style that women love the most.

With a creak, Tang Yan pushed open the door to the walk-in closet. Her face was rosy, clearly indicating that she had been well-nourished.

She gently patted Tian Xiaole and said softly, "Brother Le, remember to come visit the set this afternoon."

"Oh, I see."

"Love you."

Tang Yan bent down and gave her a kiss, then walked away, swaying her slender waist in her high heels.

Tian Xiaole woke up naturally, and groggily opened her eyes to check the time; it was almost noon.

He yawned, quickly got out of bed, and pushed open the door to the walk-in closet.

Tang Yan had ironed all the clothes I was going to wear today and hung them in a prominent place.

After washing up, I ate something to fill my stomach.

"Boss, this is the list that Director Gao sent over."

The assistant turned the computer screen towards Tian Xiaole, showing the cast list for Gao Qunshu's self-written and directed film, "The Fierce West Wind."

Duan Yihong, Wu Zhenyu, Xia Yu, Yang Caini, Wu Jing, Yu Nan...

"Wow, they're all such talented actors!"

Looking at the cast list, Tian Xiaole realized that Gao Qunshu had big ambitions, gathering a group of award-winning actors and actresses, aiming to win awards.

Slide your computer touchpad to open the email.

The location scouting staff sent over materials featuring famous local landmarks, according to the filming requirements.

In the script, the monster will land in Sydney Harbour.

Landmark buildings such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House were among the targets of destruction.

The monster landed at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean in New York. The first thing it did after leaping out of the sea was to stomp on and crush the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building was also destroyed by a single punch.

The entire city has fallen. There is no Captain America to save the American people, but there are mech warriors from China fighting for humanitarianism.

This time, it's the Chinese who will save the world!

The offensive and defensive strategies have become different!
To avoid controversy during the film's release, the staff contacted the local government to express their idea of ​​filming on location, and all requests were granted.

A sequel to a globally successful movie is essentially a form of promotion for local tourism.

The crew of "The Heist".

Tang Yan is in great shape. The crew is currently filming four magic thief knights performing a magic trick called "teleportation".

She wore a tight leather jacket and shorts, revealing her long, white legs, which were very eye-catching.

As one of the magicians who "teleports," he works seamlessly with Jesse on stage, just like a professional magician.

"Tang, your performance was quite good."

"Thank you for the compliment. If you need another take, I can do even better."

Tang Yan gathered her disheveled hair and walked in front of the monitor, speaking.

"No, this one is approved."

The director smiled and shook his head. Over the course of more than a month of filming, everyone had gotten to know each other well.

Initially, the production team didn't have a good impression of actresses who got in through connections or climbed the social ladder. However, with the release of "Lucy," which single-handedly grossed $2 million at the box office, her talent was proven.

After a few minutes' break, the crew continued filming.

Tian Xiaole sat in the audience, watching the whole scene with a slight smile on her lips.

This girl, who constantly desires the title of the official wife, is now capable of standing on her own in the outside world.

"Tang is an excellent actress, and she will have a place in Hollywood in the near future."

William, sitting next to him, could easily utter flattering words.

The crew members didn't recognize Tian Xiaole; ​​he was the one who brought him to the filming location.

How long will the post-production of this show take?

Tian Xiaole asked this question: "The Heist has a lot of special effects shots. I want to know the efficiency of China and Hollywood in producing special effects blockbusters."

"It is initially expected that the film will be released next summer."

William spoke with great confidence, saying that this level of special effects was a piece of cake for Fox.

That truck driver movie was revolutionary.

On the way back, Tian Xiaole remembered that there were Avatar promotional posters everywhere on the street.

When will Cameron's movie be released?

"Released globally just before Christmas, this is an epic film that you'll find interesting."

William was clearly excited about Avatar, caught in a dilemma of wanting to show off but also fearing that the secret would be leaked.

Speaking of this movie, how can we forget about 3D filming technology?

It is said that Cameron spent tens of millions of dollars to develop a 3D camera system with Sony in order to make the picture more three-dimensional and give the audience a sense of immersion.

If this technology were used to film "Pacific Rim 2", the special effects for large-scale scenes would be elevated to a whole new level.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaole looked at William and said calmly, "Could we go for a visit to Fox?"

"Of course, 20th Century Fox welcomes you!"

·······
"Cut! That's a wrap, get ready for the next scene," the director shouted.

As Tian Xiaole stood up from the audience, Tang Yan noticed her. She had been keeping an eye on the scene, as Tian Xiaole had promised to visit the set.

"Brother Le, you're here."

Tang Yan jogged over, asking, "How long have you been here?"

"I've been watching for a while now, and you acted quite well," Tian Xiaole praised.

Tang Yan's eyes lit up as she noticed William beside her, the producer of the film: "Mr. William."

"Haha, I won't bother you."

"Tian, ​​call me when you're done talking?" William looked at Tian Xiaole and gestured as if he were making a phone call.

"Brother Le, where are you guys going later?"

"Go to Fox and learn about the new filming techniques."

"Oh, then remember to come back tonight, and don't hang out with him. I'm telling you... he has some kind of unspeakable infectious disease."

Seeing Tang Yan's possessive behavior towards her food, Tian Xiaole felt a sudden ache in his back.

She may appear gentle and weak, but she can be ruthless than anyone else when it comes to action.

She's really going all out to reduce the number of competitors.

·······
The director of "The Thieves" and the other three lead actors came to see Tian Xiaole.

He was the screenwriter of this play and also one of the investors.

Furthermore, he is also a Palme d'Or winner, which is a prestigious title for a director.

"Tian, ​​you are a genius. You have achieved brilliant success in both art films and commercial films."

"Haha, you flatter me."

After chatting for a while, under Tang Yan's infatuated gaze, Tian Xiaole left the film crew and went to Fox with William.

domestic.

[The Founding of a Republic] swept through the market with unstoppable momentum, becoming the dominant player in the market.

Other films released at the same time as tribute films became cannon fodder.

It grossed 120 million yuan in its first four and a half days.

Compared to science fiction films like "Pacific Rim," there is still a significant gap in box office revenue.

A tribute film cannot be viewed through the lens of the normal market.

Government agencies, schools, and other organizations are going to the cinema in an organized manner under the guise of studying.

This kind of private screening was not surprising to many film companies in the industry; it was something they expected.

The premiere invitation for "The Message" was received by major film companies in the industry.

In terms of scale, it certainly can't compare to "The Founding of a Republic," but it's not far off.

Because it was a joint production of Xiaole Pictures and Huayi Brothers, no actor could refuse the invitation from these two film companies.

Chen Zhixi brought her company's artists and attended as a semi-host.

After watching the movie, everyone knew that "The Founding of a Republic" had met its match.

The quality of this drama is top-notch, coupled with the performances of a group of talented actors.

Chen Zhixi reported to Tian Xiaole that the film "The Message" was of very high quality, and there was a reason why it was released during the National Day holiday.

The film will be screened in Taiwan, which is a rare occurrence for a film to be released simultaneously on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

"By the way, have Zhang Li come to America. 'Humanity 3' is about to be released, so she can go on the promotional tour and get some exposure."

"Okay, I'll let her know right away."

Chen Zhixi hung up the phone and sighed that Zhang Li was really lucky to be noticed by the boss.

Wang Luodan and Zhao Liying didn't receive this treatment before.

"Lizi." Chen Zhixi called Zhang Li by her nickname, which sounded more intimate.

"Humanity 3 is about to be released, you need to go to America to participate in the roadshow."

"Okay, okay, I understand, Director Chen."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Li said happily that this was her first Hollywood movie.

"We're all family here, just call me Sister Xi."

"Okay, Sister Xi."

······
Fox headquarters.

Led by William, Tian Xiaole toured Fox's production team.

As one of the six major Hollywood studios, it spends huge sums of money every year to continuously develop new special effects technologies.

When Tian Xiaole saw the complete 3D photography system, William introduced it with a smile:
"This system is a device that Cameron and Sony jointly explored and developed. Using it to shoot special effects blockbusters, the resulting images are three-dimensional and vivid."

At this moment, Tian Xiaole's eyes were filled with only greedy envy.

Compared to domestic special effects hardware, there is still a long way to go.

The burden on his shoulders grew heavier, as he was responsible for the continuous innovation of special effects technology in two capitals and thirteen provinces.

"The first trailer for Avatar is about to be released, unveiling its mysteries and showcasing technologies that could change the way commercial films are shot."

William said with great enthusiasm, not caring whether Tian Xiaole could stand it or not, and kept showing off.

Years ago, when Cameron was filming Titanic, he almost bankrupted Fox.

It was the later stages that I gritted my teeth and took out a loan to complete.

The movie was a global hit upon its release.

Although Fox was hesitant about making Avatar, he wholeheartedly supported it.

After two years of post-production, the final film was shown at an internal screening, leaving Fox executives stunned.

The final decision was to invest over 100 million US dollars in promoting the film, hoping to replicate the success of "The Big Ship".

Is this 3D photography system available for rent?

Tian Xiaole's greedy gaze seemed to see Tang Yan, Fan Binbin, Wang Luodan, Yan Dancheng, Zeng Li... standing naked in front of him.

"I can't make that decision myself; I'll have to ask the president and director Cameron."

"Okay, go ahead and ask, as soon as possible."

Tian Xiaole left with a sour taste in her mouth and went to Pangu Pictures.

During last year's financial crisis, many Hollywood companies went bankrupt, and James took the opportunity to acquire a lot of equipment.

Seeing these machines left me completely unmoved; in fact, I felt a little disgusted.

They brought in De Monaco and asked him for his thoughts on filming "Fast & Furious 2".

The "Human" and "Fast & Furious" series are both Pangu Pictures' most important projects, and he has gradually been given more responsibility for them. "Boss, my understanding of the script is to emphasize clean and crisp gunfights, based on the style of your previous films."

Upon hearing the summary of "clean and efficient," Tian Xiaole knew that the show was already halfway to success.

Has Keanu's schedule been finalized?

"It's already confirmed, except the salary has increased a bit."

"As long as we don't mention box office revenue sharing, this series can go on forever, it's just a matter of changing locations."

It's inevitable that actors will have to raise their salaries. Even if actors want to work together for a long time, their agencies won't agree to a symbolic raise.

It concerns their own interests, and they also have the powerful influence of the Actors Guild. They're only doing things if they get paid.

The news that Tian Xiaole had appeared at Fox News could not be kept secret.

The media has reported on it.

The buzz surrounding the "Museum" collaboration is still going strong, and they've teamed up for a new series, plus the hype surrounding "Avatar" in North America.

Fox News' every move is being watched by a large number of media outlets.

Upon learning the news, James Wan invited Tin Siu-lok to visit the set of "Lurking 2".

After Lionsgate acquired the rights to the film, they expanded the script and increased the production cost to $2000 million.

"Tian, ​​I feel that the expanded plot is a bit dragging. The originally logical plot points have been broken up..."

James Wan was a bit at a loss. He had previously made films with budgets of a few million dollars, and this was a huge leap in budget, which made him feel somewhat constrained.

Based on his experience directing horror films, this script is a bit bloated.

The villainous ghost Parker's backstory is simplified; he becomes a murderer because he was forced to cross-dress by his mother.

Compared to its predecessor, it lacks the same impact. Due to the excessive horror build-up in the beginning, the protagonist group's defeat of Parker at the end is too easy.

Unfortunately, James Wan doesn't have much say; Hollywood is producer-centric.

In China, the director is like a god on the film crew, an absolute authority.

"Director Wen, would you like me, the screenwriter, to give you some advice?"

Tian Xiaole realized that Wen Ziren had come to him for advice.

"Of course, if you can give it to me, I will humbly accept it."

"Then I suggest you film according to the script Lionsgate gave you. If the movie is successful, everyone will be happy."

If we fail, Lionsgate will value your opinions more next time and recognize your higher worth.

Upon hearing this, James Wan was stunned. After hesitating for a second, he agreed to film according to the script.

He gets paid a director's fee; the box office revenue of the film has nothing to do with him.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Director Tian."

Wen Ziren said sincerely.

Immediately afterwards, Mike Byrne called and talked about the marketing for "Human Being 3". With the two previous films as a foundation, the online and offline promotional efforts were quite effective.

Tian Xiaole affirmed Lionsgate's work.

After a few casual words and wishing the movie great success, the call ended.

James was in charge of film promotion, and the purpose of his call was mainly to maintain a relationship.

Tian Xiaole's collaboration with Fox is progressing smoothly, much to the envy of Lionsgate.

·······
Zhang Li, accompanied by her assistant, landed at Los Angeles International Airport, where she was picked up by representatives from Pangu Pictures.

In the car on their way to the hotel, the assistant asked with a hint of anticipation, "Sister Li, do you think we might run into the boss?"

"I probably won't run into him. He's so busy, many people in China can't even find him."

Zhang Li looked out the car window at the bustling streets, lost in thought.

·······
After waiting for two days, William replied that the 3D photography system was available for rent, with the rental fee calculated daily, and the amount left Tian Xiaole speechless.

What's the difference between this and robbery?
William's reply was infuriating: "Tian, ​​this is robbery. There's only one of this system in the whole world."

Tian Xiaole didn't quite believe this explanation. Sony wasn't stupid; how could they only have one set of products after investing so much money in their research and development?

When using it, a professional engineer is required, and there are time constraints.

In short, everything is exquisite and precious.

If it weren't for the sake of the moviegoers' experience and to let them see the best special effects, Tian Xiaole wouldn't have indulged them.

25 number.

Human: Revenge of the Fallen has been released in North America.

With the box office and critical acclaim of its predecessor, Lionsgate performed admirably, opening at NT$1785.

James was completely unfazed, unlike when Pangu Pictures released its first independently produced film.

At that time, it was a matter of whether they could make a successful debut and establish themselves in Hollywood.

The success of several films in a row filled him with confidence.

“Boss, we have two profitable series, and I think the company should expand.”

These words reminded Tian Xiaole that he was, after all, an outsider, and Hollywood would not allow him to hold a large number of market-tested film series.

Collaborations with Fox and Lionsgate, [The Museum], [The Heist], [Annabelle], [Dead Silence], [Infiltration].

Unbeknownst to many, Tian Xiaole's series of works have all been scripts that achieve big returns with small investments, reaping global box office success.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaole broke out in a cold sweat. Don't think too highly of the Americans; they are a nation founded on robbery, and they will directly steal what they want.

Even without a legitimate reason, it is easy to come up with a pretext.

There are many examples, especially the later-appointed Golden Retriever, who didn't even bother to find reasons, directly resorting to global import tariffs.

"The company is already quite high-profile. Expanding will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Let's maintain the status quo."

James didn't understand Tian Xiaole's concerns, but he kept quiet about expansion.

buzzing...

Tian Xiaole's phone, which was on the table, was vibrating; it was Lionsgate calling.

Don't be too adept at interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

Knowing that Tian Xiaole was in Hollywood, they notified him directly; normally, they would contact James.

"Hey, Mr. Mike, I hope you have good news."

"Haha, Tian, ​​congratulations! You did a great job, earning $1240 million on the first day!"

If this trend continues and the positive word-of-mouth remains, it is expected to gross over $100 million worldwide.

Mike Byrne said with an envious tone.

Keep in mind that the production cost was only $700 million, but the box office revenue was ten times that amount, not even counting offline rentals and streaming services.

This is outrageous! Chinese people are robbing money in Hollywood.

I was so envious I turned purple.

Mike Bourne found some solace in the thought of Lionsgate's ongoing filming of "Insidious 2".

"Haha, boss, I knew the movie would be a success. You provided the script, and I'll be in charge of production. Our combination is simply perfect."

James kept patting himself on the back.

Upon hearing these shameless words, Mike Byrne mercilessly exposed them:

"James, you're a lucky guy to have earned Tian's appreciation."

"Boss, this old man is just jealous of our success."

Tian Xiaole ignored it and, wanting to form a partnership, James gave the order:
"We don't need to keep an eye on Human 3 all the time anymore; we can focus our main efforts on Speed ​​2."

"Got it, boss."

·······
The next day, 1040 million.

On the third day, 934 million.

They earned $3210 million in their opening weekend.

Hollywood news outlets are all reporting on "Humanity 3".

This $700 million production cost recouped its costs and turned a profit in just three days.

Including the profits from the horror films of the first two installments, some shrewd media outlets published the profit figures for the "Human" series.

After deducting advertising, distribution, and taxes, Pangu Pictures earned at least 100 million US dollars, not including offline copyright rental revenue.

"Everyone says Bai Nan can't do math, but is he any bad at it?"

Looking at the figures released by the media, Tian Xiaole complained irritably.

He just wanted to make his fortune quietly and didn't want to become a target of public criticism or be constantly watched.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the office door, and Tian Xiaole called out, "Come in."

Zhang Li strode in with her long legs. The roadshow over the past few days had left her a little tired, but the excitement in her eyes was undeniable.

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

"Hmm." Tian Xiaole's gaze was fixed on those long legs. Unlike Tang Yan's, her legs were more fleshy, and also straight and long.

Zhang Li noticed the intense gaze; ever since she joined the company, she had discovered that Tian Xiaole liked to look at her legs.

I thought they would use resources to blackmail me and do something underhanded, but that hasn't happened so far.

Even if it happened, she wouldn't mind.

Tian Xiaole is the youngest director and film producer, with a film company in Hollywood.

Getting fucked by him is a good deal!

It's better than serving those old men back home.

"The movie's box office is doing well and it's expected to surpass the first two films, so here's a role for you in [Fast & Furious 2]."

Zhang Li was chosen to play Gianna because her appearance and figure are more in line with Western aesthetics, and she is expected to gain wider recognition.

Actresses like Wang Luodan and Zhao Liying, who have baby faces in the West, lack sexual tension.

"Ah!" Zhang Li was quite disappointed. She had been prepared for something to happen because of Tian Xiaole's intense gaze.

Thinking of this, she had to take the initiative; who knew Tian Xiaole might be the repressed type.

She had only been with the company for a short time when resources were poured in for her; one should learn to be grateful.

"Director Tian, ​​you've been so kind to me, I'm so touched."

"Hey! You may be touched, but why are you sitting on my lap?"

"If you don't like it, I'll get up."

Zhang Li said this, but her buttocks didn't move at all; she even shifted slightly to avoid slipping down.

Tian Xiaole was just joking; she wouldn't really bear to do it, as it would hurt her self-esteem.

All the female artists signed to Xiaole Pictures are his type, but he's been too busy to take care of them lately.

The atmosphere has reached this point, and it's all consensual; it wouldn't be right to pretend to be a gentleman any longer.

Tian Xiaole lowered his head and kissed him, his large hands not idle, beginning to explore.

Zhang Li wrapped her arms around his neck and took the initiative.

She has a strong personality.

In just a short while, thanks to his superb kneading and rubbing techniques, he was already panting heavily.

Things will fall into place naturally.

Tian Xiaole transformed into a desktop master, picking up Zhang Li and placing her on the table. The latter was secretly looking forward to what was to come.

She glanced at the office door and said in a sweet voice:
"Director Tian, ​​the door's unlocked!"

"Wait!"

Tian Xiaole locked the door from the inside, and Zhang Li had already closed her eyes and lay down.

She found this ring quite exciting.

During this period, the filming of "The Thieves" was nearing its end, and Tang Yan focused all her energy on the film, while Tian Xiaole took a few days off to recuperate.

Facing a completely new hero, he was incredibly fierce. (End of Chapter)
