Yang Mi's plan has failed.

They assumed Tian Xiaole would stay at the film crew's hotel, and that she might be accidentally seen by the crew members when she entered and left his room at night.

In this way, even if their relationship cannot be made public, it will remain elusive to others.

Although there may be gossip, her opinions are taken seriously within the company and on set.

Who knows, I might get a permanent position someday!

It's not shameful to be able to get close to a big director; many people don't even have that kind of connection.

To Yang Mi's surprise, Tian Xiaole did not stay at the film crew's hotel, which ruined her plan.

afterwards----

Yang Mi lay sprawled on the bed like a rag doll, her cheeks flushed, her hair disheveled, and her buttocks red and swollen.

Tian Xiaole stood by the window, shirtless with a towel wrapped around his lower body, smoking a cigarette after the act, looking relaxed.

I've spent all my savings from this period of time, and I won't be able to explain myself when I get back.

Tang Yan held the sword in her hand, and Tian Xiaole couldn't do anything about it, which made the former even more smug, with the corners of her mouth almost reaching the sky.

Yang Mi paused for a moment, then got out of bed naked, found a bath towel to wrap herself in, and walked over barefoot.

She hugged Tian Xiaole from behind, her head pressed against his back, and said in a sweet voice:

"Senior brother, what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Tian Xiaole snapped out of her thoughts, turned around and pinched her cheek. There wasn't much flesh on her cheek; she had a rather large frame.

Yang Mi gently rubbed against Tian Xiaole's palm, like stroking a cat's fur:

"Senior brother, I don't have many scenes in 'Brotherhood of Blades,' and filming is almost finished. What do you think? Should I focus on the film industry afterward, or go back to acting in TV dramas?"

Goodness, they've already started charging interest.

Tian Xiaole doesn't dislike this behavior; he believes that effort will be rewarded, and that's his principle.

He pulled Yang Mi into his arms, looked down at her, and said with a smile:

"Can't you have both? Acting in movies doesn't prevent you from acting in TV dramas."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes lit up. She wrapped her arms around Tian Xiaole's waist, buried her head in his chest, and tentatively said in a very feminine manner:

"Most of the scripts handed to me are for supporting roles. I've already played leading roles, and I don't want to go back to playing supporting roles."

He was playing supporting roles before, but now that all three fronts have collapsed, is he still going to play supporting roles? Isn't that just a waste of his talent?
Tian Xiaole knew Yang Mi's little scheme perfectly well, and teased her with a smile:
"Oh, I see. Then I'll give the supporting role in 'The Purge 4' to someone else."

"I want it, senior brother, I want this role."

Yang Mi stopped pretending. She had wanted to play this kind of supporting role countless times, and now she had gotten it easily.

It all comes down to choosing the right path and following the right people; then, climbing the social ladder is that easy.

"Oh, what do you want?"

Tian Xiaole's eyes were playful, and a smile played on his lips.

Yang Mi leaned close to his ear and whispered something in his ear:
“Be firm—don’t pity me just because I’m a delicate flower.”

The next day.

Yang Mi arrived at the film set in the afternoon. When asked why, she said she was feeling unwell and brushed it off.

The promotional campaign for "Future Police" has begun, with movie posters appearing everywhere online and offline.

It's touted as a sci-fi blockbuster, with special effects comparable to the "Pacific Rim" and "Transformers" series.

It instantly attracted a large number of science fiction fans.

In particular, the name of the post-production special effects team, "Coloroom," was placed in a prominent position on the poster, which made movie fans eagerly anticipate the film's release.

The crew of "Brotherhood of Blades" spent most of their time discussing "Future Police" outside of regular filming.

With a star-studded cast including Andy Lau, Fan Bingbing, and Barbie Hsu, and with the company handling post-production, it might just be a sci-fi epic.

When Tian Xiaole overheard these people discussing this on set, he frowned.

He never expected that the "Color Strip House" sign would become a key focus of the film's promotion.

What displeased him was that Fatty Wang had initially chosen the lowest-end special effects production, but now the latter was praising it as amazing, even comparing it to a big project like Pacific Rim.

When the movie is released, audiences will definitely be disappointed. If it doesn't affect the reputation of "Coloroom Pictures," that's fine, but if it does...

Filming of "Brotherhood of Blades" continued, and Tian Xiaole stayed on set to observe Lu Yang's work attitude, his control over various departments of the crew, and his training of the actors, which was rather bumpy.

This is my first time directing a commercial film, so I have relatively little experience.

Fortunately, the actors in this drama are all down-to-earth, talented actors who are not very famous.

Jin Shijie's portrayal of Wei Zhongxian gives the impression that this is what a great villain is like; even in his downfall, he remains the same old head of the Eastern Depot.

The most classic scene is the one between Nie Yuan and Zhou Yiwei, featuring the most memorable lines from the entire film.

"Whom does my father-in-law want me to kill?"

"Jin Yichuan, a junior officer of the Northern Garrison."

"..."

Tian Xiaole sat not far away, watching the two act together. Beside her was the attentive Yang Mi, who had prepared snacks and cut fruit into pieces.

He enjoyed it with a clear conscience. As the emperor of Xiaole Pictures, the company's artists should serve their boss well.

The crew thought the same way, and gave the two space, keeping them far apart.

I noticed Tan Songyun not far away. She joined the company with Zhang Li. Because of her youthful appearance, she has never played a leading role.

Tian Xiaole waved to her, and Tan Songyun looked around to make sure she was being referred to before jogging over.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

The way the company addressed Tian Xiaole was a mess, and he rarely bothered to correct it.

Pointing to the chair next to him, he said, "Sit down."

Yang Mi smiled at her, knowing that she hadn't climbed into bed yet, otherwise she wouldn't only play minor supporting roles.

"Junior sister, have some fruit."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Tan Songyun didn't mind the form of address; according to the rules, she joined the company before Yang Mi.

Referring to it as a school relationship is also acceptable.

Tian Xiaole forked a piece of apple and popped it into her mouth, looking at the somewhat restrained Tan Songyun:

"Xiao Tan, you've been with the company for a while now, and I've seen your composure and humility."

"[Human Beings 4] Here's a role for you. After filming this movie, you and Xiao Yang will go together."

Upon hearing this, Tan Songyun was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant.

She actually got a role in this globally blockbuster film series? She quickly thanked them.

"Thank you, boss. I will play my role well and not let the company down."

Yang Mi, who was standing next to her, was unhappy. Why should Tan Songyun get the opportunity without having to put in any effort?

But she will pay the price.

Tian Xiaole noticed Yang Mi's expression but ignored it.

One is down-to-earth and ambitious, while the other is impatient for quick success; their treatment will definitely be different.

Yang Mi will have access to advantageous resources and will go further in the future.

As for someone like Tan Songyun, it takes a slow and careful approach.

·······
After Nie Yuan and Zhou Yiwei finished rehearsing their scenes, filming officially began.

"..."

"This person is my dearest friend, my brother—I need to pay extra!"

Nie Yuan was stunned for a moment, then tossed the money bag over.

"Ka, this one passed."

As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking, the staff around him burst out laughing.

Tian Xiaole watched the two actors' scenes together. After Nie Yuan missed out on the role of Yang Guo, his career became bumpy.

In contrast, Huang Xiaoming has already transitioned into becoming a boss.

Speaking of Xiaoming, Tian Xiaole thought of Yang Ying. After ignoring her for a while, the two of them got together again.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​was there anything in this scene that needed adjustment?"

Lu Yang walked over to ask for his opinion, glanced at Yang Mi, and made up his mind.

"Well done, you've brought the character of Ding Xiu to life... Keep shooting according to your vision, don't be afraid of making mistakes."

With Tian Xiaole's support, Lu Yang felt more confident about his upcoming scenes.

After several dramatic scenes, it's clear that the actors have solid basic skills and the progress is good.

The news of Tian Xiaole visiting the Hengdian film set could not be kept secret from the media and has already been reported.

Immediately afterward, Tang Yan called.

This gave Tian Xiaole a headache, so she went to a secluded place to make the call.

"Brother Le, ovulation is coming soon, come back quickly."

"Well, I see."

Tian Xiaole said perfunctorily.

Then I heard a threat on the other end of the phone: "If there aren't enough sperm, I'll tell Grandma that you're messing around outside."

"Tangtang, are you trying to rebel?"

"No, I'm doing this for the Tian family's sake. Grandma is getting old and is really looking forward to having a grandson." Who says Tang Yan is stupid? This Tang Yan is too smart.

Having gotten the old lady under control, they no longer took Tian Xiaole's threats seriously.

"You seem to value Yang Mi quite a bit. I'll meet her another day."

"What, are you going to declare your position as the rightful wife?"

Tian Xiaole accidentally let it slip.

"Hmph, I knew it." Tang Yan understood the implication, but there was nothing she could do to stop it.

"I don't care how you play around outside, and I can't control you, but don't get pregnant."

"Alright, I'll head back to the capital as soon as possible."

Tian Xiaole had indeed considered it. The Tian family had only one son, and he wanted to change this situation and have more descendants.

I haven't decided who to have the baby with yet.

As for Tang Yan's threat, she can just go back and get an injection.

He glanced at Yang Mi not far away, shook his head, and said that she wasn't good-looking enough.

They only valued his physique and his ability to be a beast of burden.

Tian Xiaole left Hengdian without Yang Mi seeing her off, as she had a film to shoot.

·······
Back in the capital, he gave Tang Yan a good scolding and fed her until she was completely satisfied.

It was a bit bland, and she didn't say much about it.

I was so busy putting a pillow under my butt.

"Brother Le, give me your pillow too."

Tian Xiaole looked up and handed over the pillow; he was reading the text message Jing Tian had sent.

I had promised to help her review scripts when I had time, so I sent her a script for the Warring States period.

Tian Xiaole just couldn't understand why Lu Zhen was so interested in the Warring States period.
They previously filmed a TV series about Sun Tzu, which was taken down after complaints, but they haven't learned their lesson. Now they're going to film a movie about Sun Bin.

That was absolutely brutal.

Tian Xiaole's reply was just two words: "Garbage."

On the other side, Jing Tian was in a daze as she looked at the evaluation of the script. Lu Zhen's script, which he was full of confidence in, was garbage in Tian Xiaole's eyes.

"Uncle Lu, I don't want to act in this script."

"Ah, why?"

Lu Zhen was about to publicly announce the "Warring States" project, so the sudden announcement of not performing it caught him off guard.

“I showed the script to Brother Xiao Le, and he…” Jing Tian hesitated for a moment before saying tactfully, “He doesn’t think much of this script.”

Upon hearing this reason, Lu Zhen smiled helplessly:
"Tian Tian, ​​Director Tian is a great director with high standards. It's normal that he doesn't like our script. Think about it, when it comes to screenwriting ability, who can compare to him?"

Hearing this, Jing Tian thought it made a lot of sense; Tian Xiaole's scripts had never failed.

In some respects, his achievements are more prestigious than his directorial career.

Because of Tian Xiaole's evaluation of the script, Jing Tian lost confidence in the drama.

She had to be honest; she didn't want to act in a terrible script.

"Uncle Lu, do you know what Brother Xiao Le thought of him?"

"What did you say?" Lu Zhen asked curiously.

"Rubbish!"

"Ah~"

Lu Zhen thought he had misheard and could hardly believe his ears, saying uncertainly:
"You mean, Director Tian called the script for 'The Warring States' garbage?"

"Yes." Jing Tian nodded emphatically.

Lu Zhen opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, so he chose to remain silent.

He had the right to comment on other people's opinions, but he had to take Tian Xiaole's words seriously.

"Then... let's cancel the project."

"Ah."

Lu Zhen wanted to capitalize on Jing Tian's current popularity and have her film more representative works.

But he was an outsider to the industry and didn't know many people in the film and television industry, so the only means he could use was to throw money at it.

The script for "The Warring States" was written by a top screenwriter at a high price, and the production company plans to invest 1.5 million yuan to make it into a film.

Since Jing Tian doesn't want to act, we can only find a new script.

Suddenly, Lu Zhen had a flash of inspiration and looked at Jing Tian, ​​saying:
"Tian Tian, ​​ask Director Tian if he can write a script for you. The scriptwriting fee is fixed."

"Then I'll ask."

········
On the other side, Tian Xiaole was naked, with an exhausted Tang Yan lying on top of him.

He looked at Jing Tian's text message and found a script that seemed quite suitable for her; it was a project reserved for the company.

"Brother Le, is that vixen still contacting you late at night?"

"Hey, see for yourself."

Tian Xiaole handed the phone to Tang Yan, who smiled awkwardly but didn't actually take it.

It's okay to make a few casual remarks, but if you don't know your place, you could be kicked out at any time.

Seeing Tang Yan's cowardly and hesitant expression, Tian Xiaole pinched her cheek and told her about Jing Tian's request, saying there was a story that was very suitable for the latter's image.

"Brother Le, you don't lack that little bit of money, it's better if we film the script ourselves."

Tang Yan offered her advice from Madam Tian's perspective.

The scripts written by Tian Xiaole are in high demand because they have never failed before. It's better to keep them and film them yourself than to sell them to others.

"Yes, that's what I think too. We can film the script ourselves and just cast Jing Tian in it."

With this plan in mind, Tian Xiaole replied to Jing Tian.

········
Two days have passed since this incident, and it's unclear where things went wrong. Starlight Entertainment is preparing to invest 1.5 million yuan to film "The Warring States Period".

It was canceled because of a single sentence from Tian Xiaole.

This news immediately sparked curiosity within the industry.

What did it say?
It could lead to the cancellation of a 1.5 million yuan project.

It's important to understand that while the domestic film market is booming, projects with this level of investment are rare.

Even if they exist, only a few big-name directors can afford to play that game and make it work.

Well-informed media outlets have found out that Tian Xiaole's assessment can be summed up in two words: rubbish.

This has further piqued the curiosity of industry insiders and netizens alike; only a script like this could garner such praise.

Many people also believe that Tian Xiaole is insulting people and looking down on screenwriters.

Shen Jie, the screenwriter of "The Warring States", graduated from the directing class of the Central Academy of Drama. His representative works include "Serious Cases Squad 6" and "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".

He was very dissatisfied and published a long article of several hundred words, which affirmed Tian Xiaole's outstanding achievements while criticizing him for not respecting the labor of writers.

This made netizens happy.

Hi!

Because there are melons to eat.

Industry insiders shook their heads. "He only gave a two-word evaluation. Why would you reply to him?"
Now, there's another victim.

Many netizens stayed under Tian Xiaole's Weibo post, knowing that he was petty and never held a grudge.

Everyone wants to be the first to know about this.

Tian Xiaole didn't keep netizens waiting for long. He took a few photos of the original sentences from the script and didn't even bother to criticize them.

The post on Weibo quickly became a trending topic among netizens.

"It's so brutal."

"Juan, don't go, I'm scared."

"Just let Bin kiss the goalpost on the eye, just a kiss on the eye!"

"..."

Several cringe-worthy dialogues left viewers stunned; were these lines even conceived by a normal person?

No one says Tian Xiaole is disrespectful anymore, because he really is trash.

As a period historical drama, these lines are truly brutal.

Those colleagues who were preparing to voice their support for Shen Jie deleted their edited blog posts. To be able to write something like this is an insult to the screenwriting profession.

Lu Zhen was very relieved; he had almost been tricked again.

He has money, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

Taking advantage of the buzz in online news, Starlight Pictures announced its collaboration with Xiaole Pictures.

The collaboration is described as a collaboration, but it only means that their only actress, Jing Tian, ​​will star in the new film "The Witch" produced by Xiaole Pictures.

The news quickly spread throughout the industry.

There's been absolutely no word from the outside world about Xiaole Pictures' new project.

Tian Xiaole was speechless. Lu Zhen was really proactive. That night, he told Jing Tian that he had a role for her to play.

This was then made public.

The script hasn't even been written yet, and the outside world is already buzzing with excitement. (End of Chapter)
