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

A haggard-looking man opened his eyes.
Zhao Liying and Wang Luodan were quite restless while sleeping; the former had her arms around his neck, their bodies pressed close together, her breath tickling his neck.
The latter is even more exaggerated, with half its body pressed up, like a sloth.
Caught between the two, Tian Xiaole felt a little short of breath. When she removed Zhao Liying's arm, she noticed her eyelashes were moving.

I'm sorry to open my eyes.

Pushing away Wang Luodan's heavy legs, she groggily opened her eyes, stretched, and noticed Tian Xiaole preparing to get up. She said with concern:

"Brother Le, sleep a little longer!"

"If you two keep sleeping, I'm going to suffocate."

Tian Xiaole thought of the unscrupulous media reports: A famous director had sex with two women in one night, exhausting his semen!

Wang Luodan smiled awkwardly, scrambled to her feet, and swayed her slender waist as she went downstairs to the living room to get him some clothes.

Last night, the three of them celebrated Zhao Liying's birthday in the living room, and at first they were a little reserved.

After all, it always feels a bit strange to have someone watching.

Fortunately, the two were professional actors and quickly adapted to their new partners.

With Wang Luodan joining in, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

As the birthday girl, Zhao Liying fulfilled her wish first, while Wang Luodan, as the atmosphere-maker, helped push from behind.

Seeing her comrades get excited, she also felt a great sense of accomplishment.

*Smack!*

While Zhao Liying was still pretending to be asleep, Tian Xiaole slapped her buttocks, leaving a clear red handprint instantly:
"Aren't you going to wake up?"

"Good morning, boss!"

Zhao Liying held the blanket tightly, revealing her big eyes, and looked a little shy.

"Still calling me boss? From now on, call me Brother Le."

Tian Xiaole sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleepy-eyed girl. Her round face, full of collagen, made her look incredibly cute.

He pinched her round cheeks; her skin was soft and supple. She rubbed against Tian Xiaole's palm obediently.

Zhao Liying's thinking was simple: since she'd already slept with him, if she could win his favor, maybe...

Competition is intensifying, and the internal workings of the company are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface.

This scene enraged Tian Xiaole, who pounced on him.

"Ah! Brother Le!!!"

Zhao Liying screamed, rolled herself up in the blanket, and hid, turning into a caterpillar!
This makes things convenient for Tian Xiaole, hehe!
Woohoo~
"Okay, you guys carry me on your back~"

Wang Luodan carried the ironed clothes upstairs and was greatly displeased when she saw the two men's little actions.

"~~~~~"

Two hours later!
The two girls chirped softly; celebrating their birthdays together made all the difference.

Tian Xiaole was very troubled.

I just feel bored!
After quickly tidying up, ignoring the two still bickering, I went downstairs to the living room.

The assistant is already waiting.

She secretly observed Tian Xiaole's face. The two vixens had caused so much harm, yet she had never seen her boss look so haggard.

"Go and handle it!!!"

Tian Xiaole made a number gesture, and the assistant nodded, skillfully put on a mask and gloves, and went upstairs to the bedroom.

Soon, a scream rang out; it was Zhao Liying.

Wang Luodan was already used to it.

"Sister Dan, what is this...???" Zhao Liying asked, puzzled.

"Brother Le is afraid we have ulterior motives. Medical technology is so advanced now, what if we use... pregnancy?" Wang Luodan explained.

"Oh, so that's it."

Back at the company, Chen Zhixi came to report on her work.

"Boss, the Berlin Film Festival officials have already taken the copy of 'Shoplifters'."

The film "The Message," a co-production with Huayi Brothers, grossed over 2 million yuan at the box office and was nominated for five Golden Horse Awards.

Tian Xiaole nodded, indicating that he understood and that the movie was of good quality and could win awards.

Zhou Xun, who was nominated for Best Actress, definitely has no chance. She's leaving Huayi Brothers, so they certainly won't help her with public relations.

It's highly likely to be Li Binbin; she's one of their own.

Chen Zhixi continued, "The post-production of 'Ip Man 4,' written and directed by Ying Huang, has been completed. They would like to ask for your opinion."

"Let Yinghuang decide for themselves. With the first three films as a foundation, as long as the quality isn't too bad, the box office will be guaranteed."

"Okay, I'll inform them."

The release date for "Painted Skin 2" hasn't been confirmed yet. Which release date do you think would be best?

"Yes, I understand."

After thinking it over, Tian Xiaole decided to go to China Film Group before making a decision.

He then inquired about the preliminary preparations for Pacific Rim 2:

"How much longer will it take to complete the scene setup and city model construction?"

"Director Guo sent word that it can be completed within two weeks."

"Then notify the actors to join the crew and undergo some physical training to get a feel for the role."

"Okay, I will inform the actors."

Seeing that Tian Xiaole hadn't given any instructions, Chen Zhixi left the office, only to return five minutes later.

"Boss, this is an invitation from Huayi."

"Oh, are they going to hold a celebration party for [The Message]?"

I think so.

Tian Xiaole took the invitation and opened it. Contrary to his expectations, Huayi was about to go public and wanted to invite him to the offline IPO roadshow.

As a shareholder of the company and a renowned director in the industry, he can help raise the share price of the IPO.

Tian Xiaole hesitated, wondering whether he should lend a hand and then claim the credit for himself when the market opened that day.

After thinking about it, I decided against it and decided to just keep making money quietly.

········
Huayi, CEO's Office.

"Brother, Tian Xiaole refused. As a shareholder of the company, it's one thing for him not to participate in projects like the Pacific Rim, but he also won't participate in the IPO. That's shameless."

Wang Zhonglei said indignantly, "Huayi is about to go public. With a big director like Tian Xiaole in charge, the opening stock price will look better."

Wang Zhongjun also frowned, as the stock price after the IPO was an unknown quantity, making him feel uncertain.

"Can the box office for 'The Message' increase?"

"The movie is nearing its end, and the daily box office figures are too abnormal, which will arouse suspicion."

Wang Zhonglei shook his head, saying that reaching 2 million was already the limit.

"Since Tian Xiaole isn't involved, we won't invite him to the IPO bell-ringing ceremony; we'll pretend he doesn't exist."

China Film.

Han Sanping is beaming with joy lately, as the box office of "The Founding of a Republic" has surpassed 4 million yuan.

As the chief director, he naturally rose to become the first director in China to join the 4 million yuan club.

"Xiao Le, you've come at the right time. Since it's the celebration banquet for 'The Founding of a Republic,' I won't send you an invitation."

"Congratulations, Uncle Han! You're a big director now." "You little rascal, are you trying to make fun of me?"

Han Sanping laughed and scolded, "Who has the nerve to call themselves a big director in front of Tian Xiaole?!"

Then, he said wistfully:

"When Pacific Rim was released, I thought the market had seen a leap forward, but so far this year, the highest-grossing film is Founding of a Republic, with 4 million yuan."

"Isn't there also Director Zhang's new film, 'A Simple Noodle Story'!"

"This movie... heh!" Han Sanping suddenly sneered twice: "It's destined to fail at the box office."

Tian Xiaole asked curiously, "Why?"

"Zhang Weiping likes to eat alone, so I'm going to teach him a lesson."

This is Han Sanping's personality; no wonder he's known as the Mountain Eagle. There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

Zhang Yimou's films have always been controlled by New Pictures, and China Film Group can't get involved. It's time to teach them a lesson.

The release of "A Simple Noodle Story" will definitely be targeted, just like "The Forbidden Kingdom" was, with Hollywood blockbusters like "Iron Man" taking a share of the market.

Tian Xiaole's purpose in bringing this up was: "Which movies are scheduled for release during this year's Spring Festival?"

"What's going on? Is there a movie going to be released during the Spring Festival?"

"Post-production for 'Painted Skin 2,' directed by Lao Tian, ​​is complete."

Han Sanping nodded in sudden realization, then opened the drawer, took out the movie schedule, and handed it over.

"See for yourself."

Tian Xiaole took the book and flipped through it. The movie that caught his eye made his pupils dilate slightly. The truck driver was about to ravage the world again.

As for other movies, "A Simple Noodle Story" was scheduled for release during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

The film "Little Big Soldier", starring Jackie Chan and Wang Lihong, is scheduled to be released on February 14.

As for other movies, such as "Confucius," "All's Well, Ends Well 2010," "Hot Summer Days," and "God of Wealth," they pose little threat.

"【Painted Skin 2】is coming out for the Spring Festival."

"This time slot has become exclusively yours."

Han Sanping chuckled and took the schedule that was handed back to him.

After chatting for a while, when asked about the movie's preparation, Tian Xiaole mentioned that they would use the technology from Avatar to film Pacific Rim 2, which immediately piqued Han Sanping's interest.

"The special effects in this movie are top-notch even by Hollywood standards. Are you sure you can achieve this effect?"

"It uses the same shooting equipment, which can enhance the three-dimensionality of the special effects characters. It's a completely different thing from special effects."

Tian Xiaole smiled wryly. How could Old Man Han have misunderstood?

"Oh, that's how it is."

Han Sanping was quite disappointed, but then said hopefully, "As long as Pacific Rim 2 can achieve the special effects of Transformers 2, that will be fine."

Don't forget, they mocked you back then.

After saying that, he patted Tian Xiaole on the shoulder, looking like he wanted to prove someone wrong.

"Uncle Han, isn't your provocation a bit too direct?"

Tian Xiaole swatted his hand away impatiently: "Last time I visited Fox, I was so envious of the equipment there. There's still a long way to go to reach the top level of Hollywood."

"So, like the first part, they'll collaborate with Lionsgate later on?"

"Last time it was because I bought the rights to a script for them, but this time I don't have any rights to buy."

Han Sanping was getting anxious. Pacific Rim is all about selling special effects. If it's worse than the first movie, the IP will be ruined.

"If the post-production is entirely domestically made this time, and the special effects are no worse than the first one, then it's a victory."

Compared to movie box office revenue, Tian Xiaole is more concerned about the cultivation of technical talents.

The first film can be considered pioneering, cultivating the soil for digital special effects in China; this film represents growth.

With an all-Chinese cast in the later stages, the requirements for special effects and visual effects are not as high. As for reaching the level of "Transformers 2", it will still be quite difficult.

News from the Busan International Film Festival indicates that CJ is indeed serious about his work.

The "Cinema for the Blind" received two nominations and one win, earning the "Most Popular Award" from the audience.

There are trophies and certificates, as well as a prize of $10,000.

The copyright was also sold at the film festival for a low price, and we just broke even.

As for domestic box office revenue, forget about it; this kind of subject matter won't make money at the box office.

The news of Lu Yang winning the award was briefly reported by domestic media, after all, it was just a small award.

What people care about most is his status as a contracted actor with Xiaole Pictures.

With Guo Fan's success as a precedent, Lu Yang began to emerge, along with veterans like Gao Qunshu.

Xiaole Pictures' strength, even without considering Tian Xiaole, the founder, is already in a class of its own in the industry.

Tang Yan returned to China and held Xiao Tianxin tightly, refusing to let go. Each time she was away for several months, so you can imagine how much she missed her daughter.

"Brother Le, has Xiaotian Xin gained a little weight? I can hardly carry her anymore."

Seeing Tang Yan panting after just a few steps, Tian Xiaole nodded in deep agreement, realizing she had to control her diet.

"When Mom hugs me, I don't get fat; my great-grandmother says these are blessings."

Xiao Tianxin pinched her own face and said in a childish voice, sounding dissatisfied.

"Haha, not fat at all, just full of good fortune, okay?"

Tang Yan quickly changed her tune and patted her bottom: "Go play with your great-grandmother."

After Xiao Tianxin swayed her hips and walked away, she grabbed Tian Xiaole's collar and headed towards the bedroom, her eyes gleaming with a hungry green light.

"What are you doing in broad daylight?"

Tian Xiaole brushed her hand away, adopting the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman, expressing his deep abhorrence of the daytime debauchery.

"Something's not right. Your attitude is very strange."

Tang Yan circled Tian Xiaole twice, completely different from her usual eager and lustful self.

However, she didn't want to delve into it. As a smart woman, as long as Tian Xiaole knew to go home, she would be the one laughing last.

A shower of rain hits the loquats, and after the wind stops and the rain stops.

Tang Yan nestled lazily in Tian Xiaole's arms, her cheeks still flushed, a testament to the fierce confrontation that had just taken place.

"Brother Le, what's the situation with Zhang Li?"

Didn't I tell you?

No! You were too busy working on me.

“You shook it quite vigorously.”

Tian Xiaole slapped her pert buttocks, knowing what she wanted to ask: "Zhang Li is more in line with European and American aesthetics, so we plan to focus on cultivating her."

"Oh, what about me?"

"You already have the [Magic Thieves] series, aren't you satisfied? Xiaotian Xin will be starting kindergarten next year, so you should reduce your workload a bit."

Tang Yan nodded without hesitation. Although she liked acting and enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight.

But the relative importance of each is still clearly distinguished.

As long as Xiaotian Xin is in my possession, resources will never be lacking, as long as I ask. (End of Chapter)
