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

The premiere of "Painted Skin 2" did not include any flashy performances.

Only Han Sanping is enthusiastic about this kind of thing.

Lao Tian led several lead actors onto the stage and recounted the entire filming process, finally revealing:
"Regardless of how well the film performs, I will not touch commercial films for a long time."

It didn't cause much of a stir; he wasn't Tian Xiaole, carrying the weight of two capitals and thirteen provinces on his shoulders.

They bear the responsibility of revitalizing and promoting Chinese-language films.

If Tian Xiaole said this, it would have a much bigger impact.

Old Tian ended his speech with little enthusiasm, his heart filled with a mixture of disappointment and pride.

The movie officially started playing.

The very first shot is a close-up, showcasing Fan Binbin's exquisite features and stunning face.

Xiao Fan is at the peak of her beauty; her face has a touch of allure and seductive charm.

The moment I opened my eyes.

Everyone held their breath; it was breathtakingly beautiful.

The sixth generation of directors has a knack for filming women, and their use of color and composition is impeccable.

Zhang Yimou and Chen Da are both outstanding.

At this moment, Director Chen stared at the big screen, thinking about how to showcase Fan Binbin's other qualities.

Many people stared at the big screen, admiring this "work of art," while some looked at Xiao Fan with undisguised envy in their eyes.

Some directors' eyes were filled with blatant lust, as if they wanted to melt her away.

Fan Binbin could feel many intense gazes sweeping over her, making her extremely uncomfortable.

However, after seeing Tian Xiaole's back, I felt very at ease.

Yang Mi sat in the third row, her eyes fixed on the big screen, but her mind wasn't on the movie.

"With such high-quality resources, I'll probably have a chance to act in them in the future, right?"

When Huo Xin, played by Huang Xiaoming, learns that the princess, played by Yan Dancheng, has become a monster that needs to absorb the hearts of living people every day, he goes mad and blinds himself in an attempt to awaken the princess.

This outstanding performance earned the approval of many directors, showing that she had truly immersed herself in the role.

Many people didn't expect Huang Xiaoming to have such good acting skills.

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming's gaze was complicated. He glanced at Tian Xiaole, wondering how things were progressing between her and Yang Ying.
Shu Chang and Hu Ge both delivered outstanding performances.

What impressed the audience most was, of course, the movie's special effects.

Xiao Wei has fox ears and a demon tail; the texture of her fur is clearly visible, exuding a sense of sturdiness, beauty, and fantasy.

The scene of the fox demon shedding its scales and rebuilding its skin is smooth and natural, fitting the fantasy setting of "a demon transforming into a human," creating a powerful visual impact.

Many directors were whispering and discussing it.

With the sci-fi blockbuster Avatar just gone, is Painted Skin 2 about to wreak havoc again?

Director Chen also seemed to be deep in thought. Fan Binbin and Huang Xiaoming's acting skills impressed him, and he planned to go back and revise the script to increase the proportion of their scenes.

In everyone's eyes, this movie is almost certain to be a successful commercial blockbuster.

At this point, one can't help but think of Zhao Yanzi, who was kicked out of the film crew.

Because she refused the makeup and styling arranged by the production team, she not only lost two representative works, but also offended Tian Xiaole, which is equivalent to losing half of her resources in the entertainment industry.

When the two-hour movie ended, thunderous applause erupted in the audience.

"Director Tian, ​​in the movie's ending, Xiaowei and Princess Jing merge into one, sharing the same appearance, heart, and body. Is this setting up a sequel?"

The reporter didn't ask director Lao Tian's questions first, but instead inquired about the film's sequel.

This issue has also touched a nerve with several actors and the film's investors.

Given the quality of this film, it's unlikely to lose money at the box office, making a sequel a logical next step.

"We're not considering a sequel for now, but who knows, we might make one someday if we remember it."

The story might be expanded by a screenwriter or directed by another director.

Old Tian is no longer directing, and there's no one to take over for the time being.

Tian Xiaole would definitely not make such a low-budget film.

The lead actors and investors were quite disappointed, but they left room for maneuver.

"Director Tian, ​​what are your box office expectations for this film?"

"What I can reveal is that the film has already recouped its production costs by selling the rights to the Japanese and South Korean films."

As for box office expectations, 3 million is not too little, and 4 million is not too much.

This remark elicited envious expressions from the vast majority of film company owners present.

The investors straightened their backs, revealing perfectly appropriate expressions of pride.

During the cocktail party, everyone was socializing.

Tian Xiaole noticed that Tang Yan was being stopped by a woman who was talking to her about something.

"Little Le, who are you looking at?"

Hearing the call, Tian Xiaole looked away and noticed that Jing Tian was standing next to him at some point.

He changed the subject, saying, "Tian Tian, ​​did you come alone today? I haven't seen President Lu."

"Uncle Lu is here; he's entertaining guests over there."

Jing Tian seemed to be in low spirits, probably due to the removal of "The Great Biography of Sun Tzu".

The show was taken down after only a few episodes aired due to poor adaptation, including costumes copied from Japanese style and the addition of many fictional characters and plots.

Acting in this kind of drama will definitely affect Jing Tian's public image.

Tian Xiaole comforted him, "Next time when choosing scripts, be more careful, and don't let President Lu submit just any script."

Jing Tian asked expectantly, "Brother Xiao Le, can you help me choose a script?"

"I don't have time..."

Tian Xiaole was about to refuse, but seeing Jing Tian's eyes gradually dimming, she didn't want to disappoint her too much, after all, she had called him "brother" for so long, so she changed her mind and said:
"If you have some free time, I can take a look for you."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Le."

Jing Tian instantly broke into a smile, her eyes sparkling, like a gullible little silly girl.

·······
Just after sending Jing Tian away, Tang Yan shook off that woman and came over.

"what's the topic?"

Tian Xiaole preemptively asked.

“That Ms. Deng wanted to invite me to act in a movie, but I refused. She kept nagging me.”

Tang Yan said happily that this was the first time she had received an invitation from a Hollywood project.

However, for Xiaotian Xin's sake, she refused without hesitation.

As they were talking, Deng Wendi walked over and greeted them familiarly:

"Director Tian, ​​Ms. Tang Yan is an artist in your company. I would like to invite her to star in a Hollywood movie. She will be one of the leading actresses."

She emphasized the words "leading lady".

"No need, we don't lack Hollywood projects."

Tian Xiaole's indifferent tone surprised Deng Wendi. Whenever Hollywood projects were mentioned, he was always a guest of honor.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a wall twice in one day.

That makes sense, though. Tian Xiaole certainly doesn't lack resources in Hollywood, so it's normal for him to be ignored.

Deng Wendi maintained a smile, raised his glass, and left.

"Stay away from her."

"Well, I listen to you."

Tian Xiaole liked this about Tang Yan: she was obedient and didn't pry into other people's business.

Afterwards, Deng Wendi found Li Binbin, and the two chatted and laughed.

She and Zhang Ziyi had previously co-founded a company, but after Zhang Ziyi was dumped, Deng Wendi immediately cut ties with her.

For a woman to rise to prominence in America is nothing short of legendary, enough to make a certain popular user kneel in worship.

The premiere of "Painted Skin 2" has ended.

The storyline, color scheme, acting, and special effects have all received high praise from the media.

This has greatly lessened the psychological trauma caused by Avatar, giving people the feeling that domestic films have finally succeeded.

The first film to be released was "Confucius," starring Zhou Xun and Zhou Runfa, which grossed 920 million yuan on its opening day. The following day, the Hollywood film "The Spy Next Door," starring Chen Long, grossed 530 million yuan on its opening day.

·······
Tian Xiaole received a message from Yang Ying, inviting him to attend the premiere of "Hot Summer Days".

He was busy preparing for the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival and had no time to attend, so he declined directly.

On the other hand, Yang Ying was disappointed when she received the rejection text message, as were the film's investors and her boss.

I thought...

“Baby, try to talk to Director Tian more often. He's still single, so make the most of the opportunity.”

"Yes, I know, boss."

"Don't feel wronged. If you become Mrs. Tian one day, we'll have to fawn over you."

Yang Ying's boss was laughing and talking in Cantonese-accented Mandarin, and she herself began to daydream.

buzzing...

She casually dismissed the text message from Huang Xiaoming; it was best to avoid contact with such irrelevant people.

Under her boss's brainwashing, she became a little too immersed in the role.

·······
Ning Hao came to find Tian Xiaole and was taken to the "Colorful House" by the staff.

He looked at the computers on the staff's desks, all of them engrossed in rendering and designing. The mecha models were incredibly lifelike, each composed of tens of thousands of parts.

The post-production work for "Pacific Rim 2" was enormous; even the "Big Fish & Begonia" project was halted, with all technical staff dedicated to post-production.

He was shocked by the scene before him, clutching the script tightly in his hand, suddenly feeling ashamed to show it off.

He quickly felt relieved.

In China, only Tian Xiaole is capable of undertaking such projects; what right does he have to compare himself to others?

"With so much manpower and resources invested, will the movie be released next year?"

Hearing the voice, Tian Xiaole turned around and saw Ning Hao standing behind him asking questions.

"This is nothing, but with the experience of the previous work, it is indeed much faster this time."

Tian Xiaole noticed the bag in Ning Hao's hand: "Did you need something from me?"

"Yes, the script we talked about last time is finished."

Tian Xiaole remembered that [No Man's Land] had been unable to pass the review, and he didn't plan to keep trying.

Xing Aina wrote a new script to distract him.

"Let's talk in my office."

Tian Xiaole gave a few instructions to the technicians and then led Ning Hao to the office on the rooftop.

This wasn't the first time the latter had come; each time, he was deeply moved.

The capital is developing too fast, and the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows is now blocked by newly built buildings.

"Could you take a look at the script that your sister Na and I wrote?"

Ning Hao handed the bag to Tian Xiaole, his face showing helplessness. He hadn't listened to Tian Xiaole last time, which caused "No Man's Land" to keep failing the review.

Tian Xiaole didn't rush to look, but instead sized up the thin Ning Hao. He wasn't wearing his favorite big gold chain; the [No Man's Land] had been too much of a blow to him.

He's aiming for awards. Don't let his burly appearance fool you; he's a big fan of art films, as evidenced by films like "Incense" and "Green Grass."

"You can't do this. Even if it's a great script, I'm afraid you'll ruin it."

"Don't worry about that. I still rely on movies to make a living, and I won't ruin my skills."

Ning Hao patted his chest and assured him. Tian Xiaole then flipped through the script, glanced at it briefly, and closed it.

We already know which show it is.

"What? The script isn't good enough?"

Ning Hao frowned and asked a question.

"It's your signature dark humor style, there's nothing particularly interesting about it, just film it directly."

"This time I want to shoot some big scenes, and the budget is much higher than the films I've made before."

"How much taller is that?" Tian Xiaole asked curiously.

"Around 1-1.2 million, mainly used to build the Republic of China-era street scene, the gold vault, and post-production special effects."

Seeing Tian Xiaole's speechless expression, Ning Hao added, "Of course, my investment costs are nothing compared to yours."

"How much do you need me to invest?"

"30%, I'll take some for myself and give a premium to Little Pony Pictures."

Tian Xiaole had no objection to this, and asked Chen Zhixi to sign a contract and transfer the money.

The entire process took less than half an hour, and Ning Hao was already expressing his amazement again:
"If I had met an investor like you when I first graduated, I might be winning a big prize by now."

"Don't take awards too seriously. Just relax like me. I don't even know what awards I'll win in Berlin this time."

Ning Hao fell silent. Why bring up awards for no reason? It just gave someone a chance to show off!

"Seeing how confident you are, winning the Golden Bear is definitely a piece of cake. I'm waiting to throw you a celebratory banquet."

After showering him with compliments, Ning Hao slipped away, already planning how he would mock him if he didn't win the Golden Bear.

Unaware of Ning Hao's sinister intentions, Tian Xiaole approached Chen Zhixi to inquire about the arrangements for the annual meeting.

Last year was a fruitful year, a year of harvest, a year worth remembering.

Looking at the bonus, which was even higher than in previous years, Tian Xiaole was not satisfied and demanded that it be doubled again.

In addition to giving all employees a three-month raise, ten million yuan in cash was allocated for a lucky draw.

A 60-square-meter house outside the Third Ring Road, three imported cars, and several other prizes.

Chen Zhixi has worked hard and made rapid progress in her professional skills over the past few years, and Tian Xiaole has promised her a 3% share of the profits.

As for Weibo, it's still operating at a loss and is entirely supported by Xiaole Pictures.

The benefits will be much less, because most employees hold Weibo shares, so there's no need to pamper them.

In just one afternoon, the news of Xiaole Pictures' annual party perks spread.

On Weibo, there was a chorus of envious voices, with many bright-eyed college students clamoring to submit their resumes.

Many actors took this opportunity to jokingly express their desire to join Xiao Le Pictures.

Upon hearing Chen Zhixi's report, Tian Xiaole told her not to pay attention to it and to focus on training new talent.

Rumors have spread within the industry that Ning Hao is preparing for a new film.

Following that, Director Chen held a press conference to launch his new film, "The Orphan of Zhao".

The cast is impressive, including Ge You, Fan Binbin, Wang Xueqi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Fengyi, and Arthur will also make a guest appearance.

At the press conference, reporters, always eager to stir things up, didn't shy away from asking whether the film would be like "The Promise," leaving audiences confused.

Director Chen's face darkened immediately. He didn't think "The Promise" was a failure; it was just that the audience didn't understand it.

Fortunately, Chen Hong smoothed things over and answered the reporter: "【The Orphan of Zhao】is based on historical events, and anyone who has read history can understand it."

Director Chen was very satisfied with this barbed response.

If audiences say they don't understand the movie after it's released, then they haven't read history.

After attending the premiere, Huang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin immediately began promoting "Painted Skin 2".

Director Chen responded to the two men's request for leave with a wave of his hand, saying that the better the movie's box office performance, the more beneficial it would be for his new film.

In the film market, "Confucius" grossed 2800 million in its opening week, which basically means it's a flop.

Chow Yun-fat alone took home 4000 million in film fees.

The production company is a huge swindler; they were fooled into believing that Chow Yun-fat lacks box office appeal in overseas markets.

Among Chinese actors, only Chen Long and Li Lianjie have box office appeal; others don't even come close.

The film "The Spy Next Door," starring Chen Long, only grossed 2000 million yuan in its opening week in China, but it was a hit in the international market.

It has already grossed $2700 million at the box office, and is expected to reach around $6000 million.

Lunar New Year's Eve.

Painted Skin 2 has been released.

The four generations of the Lao Tian family gathered together happily, watching the Spring Festival Gala that was playing.

Tang Yan was the one who couldn't sit still the most. She posted a nine-grid photo on Weibo, all of which were pictures of New Year's Eve dinner.
