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

The films "Love is Not Blind" and "Wind Blast" unsurprisingly received their theatrical release licenses.

The release dates for the two films were also announced at the same time.

Because of Tian Xiaole's presence, domestic audiences are exposed to a lot of blockbusters, and their tastes have become discerning.

Unbeknownst to many, the phrase "Anything produced by Xiao Le is guaranteed to be of high quality" has become a common saying among netizens and movie fans.

Some media outlets have listed the movies that Xiaole Pictures is about to release and have scheduled release dates.

"According to the information released, Xiaole Pictures has at least four films to be released this year."

In early April, "Shoplifters" will be released, aiming to compete with "Ip Man 4" during the summer holiday season. On Valentine's Day, "Love is Not Blind" will be released, followed by "Wind Blast" during the National Day holiday.

There's also the currently filming "Brotherhood of Blades," the pre-production "The Witch," and the post-production "Pacific Rim 2."

The movie fans are happy, as if it were Chinese New Year.

The mainland market after the start of the year was completely dominated by Hong Kong films, giving people a sense of helplessness, like "the village kids bullying my old age and weakness."

The market is so vast that anyone can take whatever they want from it.

If Xiaole Pictures releases a movie, then the film market will be bright.

Movie fans and netizens, including major production companies in the industry, are eager to know when Pacific Rim 2 will be released.

Huayi Brothers, always eager to join in the fun, also announced its plans for the second half of the year.

Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock" and Tsui Hark's "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" were both released during the summer holiday season, with a month's interval between the two films.

Some troublemaking media outlets went to interview Mr. Wang, asking if he had deliberately clashed with the release schedule of "Ip Man".

"The release dates for 'The Great Earthquake' and 'Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame' were set long ago and are not targeted at any particular film. Besides, the summer movie season is so long that it can accommodate several films."

Feng Xiaogang, known for his sharp tongue, knows how to read people's minds. In an interview with the media, he said:

"The script for Ip Man 4 was not written by Director Tian. It was probably because they wanted to avoid my movies... My film, If You Are the One 2, which I am currently filming, will return to the familiar Lunar New Year season."

Feng Xiaogang's arrogance was not without reason.

For a film with such a special subject matter as "The Great Earthquake," the official authorities will definitely give it special treatment and provide support by booking out entire theaters.

Any movie released in the same period as it is bound to become cannon fodder.

Needless to say, this kind of low-budget comedy is his forte.

Jiang Wen also joined in the fun, announcing that "Let the Bullets Fly" would be released during the Lunar New Year holiday season while it was still in post-production.

Director Chen felt the Lunar New Year film season wasn't chaotic enough, so he also announced the release date for "Sacrifice," which is currently being filmed.

Han Sanping called Tian Xiaole to inquire about the post-production progress of "Pacific Rim 2". He desperately wanted the film to be released as soon as possible and regain its title as the highest-grossing film in mainland China.

"The only thing we can look forward to is the sci-fi movie 'Future Police'."

Tian Xiaole just smiled and didn't say anything. Once the movie was released, all expectations would be unnecessary.

"All the films that China Film Group invested in this year have lost money; none of these people are reliable."

Han Sanping complained helplessly that the mainland was sorely lacking in commercial film directors, and his plan to revitalize the market with blockbuster films relied entirely on Tian Xiaole.

"By the way, your script for 'The Witch' is quite daring; it's caused quite a bit of controversy within the bureau."

"Oh, is this so controversial?"

Tian Xiaole had a guess in her mind, but she was still reluctant to believe that the existence of the 'digital' troops was the reason why the script could not be approved.

Han Sanping said, "Some people think it will damage Sino-Japanese friendship, while others think it will affect cooperation between companies in the two countries. In short, there are quite a few differences."

"Heh, does Sino-Japanese friendship negate this history and cover up the crimes committed..."

Thinking of that man surnamed Lu, Tian Xiaole tentatively said:

"Could it be Lu Tianming who's behind this?"

"He was also one of the opponents."

"So it seems that many people in China don't want to reveal this history. What are they afraid of?"

"Don't be so extreme in your thinking; they are also considering the issue from the perspective of public opinion."

Han Sanping, fearing that Tian Xiaole would start criticizing again, advised, "Just wait a few days, there will be results soon."

"Okay, then let's wait two more days."

Downstairs at Xiaole Film Studio, Chen Sicheng looked up at the 32-story building, his eyes flashing with a complex mix of emotions, including admiration, fervor, and envy.

How many years of filming would it take to earn enough money to buy such a building?
He didn't want to be just an actor and had been thinking about changing careers, and had been planning to make a movie.

I submitted my project proposal on a whim, and I never expected to receive a reply from Xiaole Pictures.

He needs to come up with a more detailed plan; the man at the top of the Chinese-speaking world wants to see him.

Chen Sicheng appeared very happy and excited, but eventually became apprehensive.

If he can't win over that man, his directing career will end before it even begins.

He spent the last two days trying to perfect the plan.

"Hello, Director Chen invited me here. My name is Chen Sicheng."

Chen Sicheng said to the receptionist.

"Wait a minute, let me ask."

After the girl called to confirm, she guided him to the elevator and told him to go directly to the 32nd floor.

"Thank you."

Chen Sicheng politely thanked him.

ding dong~

The elevator doors opened, and he curiously looked around this most mysterious floor in the entertainment industry. Because that man's office was here.

"Chen Sicheng, right? Come with me," the assistant said, beckoning.

Chen Sicheng nodded obediently, keeping his eyes straight ahead, trying to avoid the swaying hips of his famous assistant in the industry.

dong dong dong~
When Chen Sicheng saw his assistant knock on the door and heard a "Come in" from inside, his heart skipped a beat.

Are you going to meet that man?

He used to be an actor, but he never had the chance to meet this great director.

"Boss, the person has arrived."

"Hello Director Tian, ​​I am Chen Sicheng, and I am a loyal fan of yours."

Tian Xiaole looked up and saw Chen Sicheng dressed in a well-tailored suit, with a fawning smile on his face, looking very reserved.

"sit down."

Tian Xiaole said something and then buried his head in the report in his hand. It was the various expenses of the later stages of "Pacific Rim 2". Half of the money in the account had already been used up.

Swish swish swish~
After approving the equipment application and handing the signed report to the assistant, Tian Xiaole finally looked at Chen Sicheng, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Tell me about the project you've prepared, and how you plan to film it well."

Chen Sicheng sat up straight; he had considered that this question might be asked before he came.

"In the drama '[Capital Love Story],' I will focus on the complex friendships between Cheng Feng's three childhood friends, interspersed with the love stories of several women, exploring the choices between dreams and reality, love and material possessions..."

It portrays both the passion and confusion of young people striving in the capital, and also exposes the selfishness, betrayal, and growth inherent in urban relationships.

Chen Sicheng rattled off a long string of words until his mouth was dry. He finished speaking in one breath, without even touching the coffee on the table, his train of thought interrupted.

Tian Xiaole tapped his fingers on the table, scrutinizing Chen Sicheng. In the absence of commercial film directors, he was someone worth nurturing.

Despite numerous controversies surrounding him, such as plagiarism and localization, he successfully localized the content.

Commercial success has masked these blemishes.

He is a backbone of young directors, and his popularity once surpassed that of older generations such as Zhang Yimou.

"Xiao Le Pictures invested in this film. You are the first person to receive the 'Commercial Film Director Support Program.' Don't let me down."

Chen Sicheng stood there, stunned, with one sentence echoing in his mind: He had gained Tian Xiaole's appreciation!
"What? Don't want to?"

Tian Xiaole joked with a smile.

"No, no, I'm willing."

Chen Sicheng snapped out of his daze, too excited to contain himself: "Thank you for your appreciation, Director Tian. I will definitely do a good job making this drama."

"Go find Director Chen. She will connect you with people for script review, crew setup, filming, and post-production."

The producer will definitely have to send one; with a new director like this, it's easy to go over budget if you're not careful.

Chen Sicheng left the office with profuse thanks. In the entertainment industry, actors are chosen by others, and this was his chance to escape this predicament.

·······
Soon, the news that a third- or fourth-tier actor had secured investment from Tian Xiaole spread throughout the industry.

For the first time, the name Chen Sicheng attracted the attention of a high-ranking figure in the entertainment industry.

They were very curious about what was so special about this person that made Tian Xiaole so fond of him.

Actors in the industry started thinking about it; once they secured investment, they had opportunities to act in projects.

These past two days, Chen Sicheng has experienced what it means to be treated differently.

Friends he hadn't contacted before, and various talent agencies, all started sending him audition resumes.

They kept calling him "Director Chen," which made him a little disoriented.

Many film companies also want to sign him and bet on him.

Chen Sicheng was well aware that if the filming was not good, it would all be a mirage.

What he needs to do now is to focus all his energy on making this TV series a success.

·······
At the company, Tian Xiaole encountered Huang Bo, whom she rarely saw; or rather, Huang Bo had come to complain to Tian Xiaole.

"Director Tian, ​​I'm a Golden Horse Award winner, and I've starred in Hollywood blockbusters. How could I be eliminated from the cast of Ning Hao's new film?"

"Oh, why?" Tian Xiaole asked curiously.

Huang Bo's current fame is much higher than it originally was, so it's a bit puzzling that Ning Hao doesn't use him.

"He wanted someone who had the appearance of an honest man but also the demeanor of a scoundrel, and I think I fit the bill perfectly."

You have the looks of an honest person, but you lack the roguish charm.

Since Tian Xiaole had said that, Huang Bo stopped arguing and instantly changed his tune, shamelessly saying:

"Director Tian, ​​I've been doing freelance work for the past two years, and I'd also like to act in a company project."

Tian Xiaole looked Huang Bo up and down and said irritably, "Tell me yourself, which role is suitable for you? You look too old and your looks aren't good either."

"Well... what about Hollywood?"

Good heavens, so that's where they were waiting.

Tian Xiaole wanted to go over and kick him a couple of times; she was using all her little tricks on him.

"No, aren't there enough movies in China for you to film?"

Huang Bo chuckled awkwardly, "The starting point was too high, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

Tian Xiaole ignored him, telling him to recall the tough days of singing in bars and get a feel for it; he'd get used to it then. (End of Chapter)
