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

Amidst much anticipation and constant headlines, the photo studio has completed its training period and officially launched operations.

On the day filming began, Tian Xiaole originally wanted to keep a low profile and sent invitations to only a few media outlets in the industry, but in the end, dozens of media outlets showed up.

We moved to the lobby temporarily, which made it less crowded.

When the film was first conceived, the "Metropolitan Daily" was criticized. Today, there was no stubborn kid, and the reporters' questions were very harmonious.

"I will use a semi-documentary approach to film the drama 'The Photo Studio,' balancing historical authenticity with accessibility, striving to let more people know about this history."

"Director Tian, ​​it's common practice now to set a date first and then start filming, so can you reveal the movie's release date in advance?"

"It should be released within the year, but the specific date will be determined after the film is completed in post-production."

Tian Xiaole plans to finish filming the movie "The Photo Studio" within two months, preferably one and a half months.

Because of the segmented shooting method, the filming progressed quickly, and post-production was not complicated, involving editing, music composition, and submission for review...

It can be completed within a few months, so the promise of a release within the year is no exaggeration.

Cocktail party time.

"Director Tian, ​​thank you..."

Alyssa Chia was very happy to get the second female lead role, because the actresses recommended by Ying Huang only got minor supporting roles.

Compared to the other two, how can it not be considered a unique victory?
She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, displaying her seasoned professionalism.

"You're too kind. Playing the role well is the best reward for me."

After exchanging a few words, Jia Jingwen knew it was time to leave, as many people were waiting to come up and say hello.

No sooner had she left than Yan Dancheng seized the opportunity to approach her, smiling broadly as she said:
"Brother Le, thank you for giving me this opportunity, otherwise I would have missed our first collaboration."

"I just think you're a good fit. Besides, if it doesn't work out this time, there's always next time. What are you worried about?"

Tian Xiaole raised his glass and said with a smile.

Actors like Yan Dancheng, Zeng Li, and Qin Lan, who know their place, are like spice in life, something to change things up occasionally.

Tian Xiaole doesn't interfere with their marriages and having children; as long as they are still willing to improve themselves, she welcomes them.

The actresses under his company are his personal assets, and outsiders are not allowed to touch them.

·······
After the news of the start-up was reported, everyone in the industry panicked.

Especially in the second half of the year, there are film companies and directors that have scheduled film releases.

[Nanjing Photo Studio] This movie is a death sentence for anyone who touches it.

Regardless of the film's popularity, the subject matter alone would warrant support from theaters, and official screenings are a certainty.

During the National Day holiday, Huayi Brothers released two films, and they were worried that Tian Xiaole would squeeze in the competition.

"Hopefully he won't choose this time. There are already three blockbusters, and the market simply can't accommodate them all."

Xiao Wang had a gloomy face.

"Probably not, he also has a share in the 'Ip Man' movie during this period."

The king offered a word of advice: "If you run into them, you should change the schedule if necessary; there's no need to force a confrontation."

"Yes, I understand now."

As for the Lunar New Year film season, there are many more films scheduled for release, and they are all directed by renowned directors.

Should Tian Xiaole choose this moment to retreat or not?
If I were to retreat, would I avoid his sharp edge?
If we don't withdraw, we'll become cannon fodder, and the investors won't be happy about that either.

Jiang Wen and Director Chen became tormented.

·······
On a beautiful, sunny day, the crew of the film "Nanjing Photo Studio" arrived.

"Actors, get ready!"

"Extras, get ready!"

"Camera?"

"The camera is ready."

Hearing the announcements from each group coming to their ready through her headphones, Tian Xiaole raised her megaphone and shouted:
"【Nanjing Photo Studio】First Session, First Shot."

"Action!"

At Tian Xiaole's command, the entire "Nanjing City" erupted in excitement.

The first scene to be filmed was extremely brutal, designed to help the actors get into character.

Lin Yu-hsiu and A-chang were asked by Japanese military photographer Hideo Ito to take friendly photos for false propaganda purposes.

Just as I was instructing the two to pose and about to press the shutter, I heard a baby crying nearby.

"Shut him up, he's being annoying."

Immediately afterwards, Japanese soldiers snatched the child from the woman's arms and slammed him to the ground, silencing the crying.

quiet!
The scene was deathly silent!
Three cameras were set up on site; the main camera was used to film A-Chang and Yu-Xiu's reactions.
The second camera shot the extras' indifferent, reluctant, and painful reactions.

The third camera angle is a close-up shot, capturing the woman's desperate cries.

"Cut the shot."

Seeing such a cruel scene, Mei Ting couldn't stop her tears from flowing, but she knew that in this era, tears were the least valuable thing.

She kept wiping away the tears on her face with both hands, forcing a smile.

Huang Bo, playing Wang Guanghai, enters the scene, holding a lifeless infant. He wipes the blood from the baby's head with a ghost flag armband, and says with a fawning smile:

"The child has fainted, take a picture now!"

In the first scene, Zhu Yilong surprisingly didn't hold back, but it still took several takes to get it right.

Since everyone knew there were no babies in swaddling clothes, the recording played on set wasn't very immersive. It took several takes to get Tian Xiaole emotionally invested before she was satisfied.

From the very beginning of the "Photo Studio" project, Tian Xiaole hoped to show the brutality of the Japanese army.

During a break from filming, Nishijima Toshihide wanted to greet the other actors, but Tian Xiaole stopped him.

To make the actor feel fear as he plays a Japanese photographer, he can't have too much contact with the character.

Under Tian Xiaole's almost demanding requirements, the atmosphere on set was the most oppressive it had ever been.

Just thinking about the content we film every day leaves no room for jokes.

The production team continued to work together and proceeded in an orderly manner.

Many media outlets tried to visit the set, but were stopped by staff in time.

The photo studio is getting so much attention that I wanted to take some related news photos.

Outsiders, "Fast & Furious 2" has been released, and Tian Xiaole took a moment to watch it during a break from filming.

The film performed well at the box office in its first three days, earning a respectable 4700 million yuan.

The film has maintained the same positive reception as its predecessor, and it's only a matter of time before it grosses over 100 million, with the potential to reach 200 million.

I received an email from James reporting that the North American performance was also good, with a first-week contract of $3000 million and a final contract of around $1 million.

It is expected to gross $2 million at the global box office.

Shooting continues.

After being slashed by Japanese soldiers, Achang was receiving treatment at an international hospital when a group of Japanese soldiers stormed in and raped and abused him.

Tian Xiaole cleared out the unrelated people, as this scene involved intense action, and wanted to avoid embarrassing the actors.

"No nudity will be filmed. You just need to show a struggling and humiliated expression."

Tian Xiaole was giving Bai Bing acting instructions. Since Bai Bing was not formally trained and had limited acting experience, he even personally demonstrated the scene to avoid wasting time.

"When I hold you down like this, resist fiercely with your hands and feet, and pick up something nearby and smash it over your head."

Bai Bing, being a new actress, was gently pressed down, and her face began to blush.

"You're not behaving right. Anyone who didn't know better would think..."

Tian Xiaole glanced at the extras beside her, who were grinning broadly, and warned them:
"Be clean when you tear off the clothes later."

"Don't worry, director, I have experience in this area. I'm famous for being good at acting in erotic scenes."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaole carefully examined him. With his small eyes, pointed mouth, and monkey-like face, he was indeed exceptionally talented.

"Actors in position."

"[The Photo Studio] Scene 37, Act One, Begin!"

The scene depicting the hospital atrocities reveals the insatiable greed and bestiality of the Japanese army.

Amidst the corpses scattered everywhere, the woman's cries for help could be heard intermittently.

Bai Bing wasn't the only one who was raped; all the female nurses in the hospital were raped.

bang bang bang
Gunshots rang out one after another.

Until silence.

The camera zooms out, showing a panoramic view of the Gothic hospital. Corpses litter the floor, and Japanese soldiers keep running out, pulling up their trousers, satisfied smiles on their faces.

There are many trending news stories in the industry.

The most damaging incident involved a South Korean boy band that claimed to be giving away 5,000 free tickets, resulting in an overwhelming number of fans showing up at the event.

During the process of maintaining order, physical conflicts such as pushing and shoving, and verbal abuse occurred, resulting in injuries to several armed police officers.

While on set, Tian Xiaole overheard some people chatting and learned that many children were now following Korean stars, which reminded him of the term "Korean Wave," which was at its peak.

"How about we form a boy band or a girl group?"

Tian Xiaole thought this idea was feasible and suggested organizing it on Weibo, similar to "LeYu Search Stars," with nationwide participation.

They are chosen through voting, which naturally generates buzz and traffic.

However, for long-term development, we need to look at future works, bold choreography, and catchy music – the two winning formulas of K-pop.

But if it's like K-pop groups, where it takes years of training to debut, then it'll be too late, and the ban on Korean entertainment should be announced.

After having this idea, Tian Xiaole asked Chen Zhixi to prepare a feasible project plan.

"Boss, you're doing just fine making movies, why are you thinking of forming a girl group?"

“Look at the way Korean idol groups dress, they’re neither male nor female. How can we let young people idolize these kinds of stars? We need to cultivate our own female idols and not let the Korean wave become too rampant.”

"Oh, is that so? Then let me, Xiao Yang, be in charge of this project?"

"Xiao Yang?" Tian Xiaole thought for a moment and then remembered.

Yang Tianzhen joined Xiaole Pictures a long time ago and has always been in charge of artist management.

"Sure, let her come up with a plan first, or we can find a team with experience in talent shows to work with."

"Boss, do we only train girl groups?"

"Let's try forming a girl group first, and see how it goes."

Tian Xiaole could tell that Chen Zhixi's tone was hesitant; she was doubting her honest boss's character again.

Director Tian couldn't stand seeing the music industry being so brutally defeated, so he wanted to cultivate a new wave of popularity to counter the Korean wave.

Only he knows how chilled he must feel to be questioned like this.

"【The Chase】has grossed over 100 million yuan in its first two weeks of release, and has earned 150 million US dollars worldwide."

#Zhang Li's gunfight scenes are so cool, please make more Hollywood movies#
This trending topic stayed on Weibo all morning.

In the afternoon, it was overshadowed by a 20-second video.

A director in the industry was chased and attacked with a knife by a thug.

This immediately caused a huge uproar.

I thought Wu Ruopu's incident was repeating itself.

It was only later revealed that it was due to a romantic entanglement.

Li Dabai's ex-boyfriend's attempt to reconcile failed, so he hired someone to protect his current girlfriend.

Tian Xiaole broke out in a cold sweat. Just a few days ago, she was marveling at how big and white Li Dabai was, but she never expected him to be a femme fatale.

In other news, the Shanghai Film Festival announced that John Woo will serve as its chairman, and Zhao Yanzi, who recently gave birth to her driver's child, will serve as one of the judges.

Good heavens, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have gotten together.

The photo shoot continues at the photo studio.

The staff were all busy, and no one made a sound. The scene they were about to film was going to be so oppressive that it would be unbearable.

Borrowed historical photographs were laid out on the table: bound civilians, a pregnant woman killed with a bayonet, and piles of corpses...

Everything about it proclaims that this city has become hell.

While developing Japanese film, Achang and Lao Jin witnessed a scene of hell on earth.

The photographer held up his camera and scanned the photos one by one.

The images on the photograph paper appeared like ghosts, and the images of the corpses were chilling. The two of them did not have a single line of dialogue, but it was more visually impactful than any dialogue.

This two-minute-long video shows A-Chang, who initially only thought about surviving, undergoing a change in mindset. This truth needs to be seen by more people.

A childlike voice broke the silence.

Zhang Zifeng, who plays Jin Chengzong's daughter, asks innocently, "Father, why are they killing us?"

“Click.

"The actors have a five-minute break, then we'll do another take."

Upon hearing Tian Xiaole's words, Zhu Yilong and Huang Xiaoming felt a pang of anxiety; this one hadn't passed.

Zhang Zifeng also looked over nervously, afraid that his performance would cause the scene to fail.

"Zifeng acted well, you two come here."

Tian Xiaole waved to Zhu and Huang, pulling up the footage they had just filmed so they could see their performances.

He pointed at Zhu Yilong and said, "Achang witnessed the indiscriminate killing of innocent people in the hospital and saw the photos now. His mentality and consciousness have begun to change, and he has shed his cowardly obsession with just surviving."

In that scene just now, I needed to see a clear shift in your emotions, a gradual change in direction.

After finishing speaking about Zhu Yilong, Tian Xiaole looked at Huang Xiaoming, who was grinning widely.

His acting skills improved as he gained experience, but when he encountered a novice like Zhu Yilong, his level dropped significantly.

"Your character, too, is an ordinary person who is escaping reality, awakening from the thought of living one more day at a time, and arousing a desire to survive..."

Despite the detailed explanation, the scene still didn't pass the second take. The impact of the scene was too strong, and the actors were under immense pressure as they suppressed their emotions.

After continuous adjustments and mental preparation, I finally met Tian Xiaole's requirements on the fourth try.

Especially Zhang Zifeng's words, when spoken at his age, were simply a tearjerker.

As filming progressed, the actors gained a deeper understanding of their characters, and the pace of filming accelerated.

In two weeks, half of the scenes for the "photo studio" have been completed, and filming is expected to wrap up within a month and a half.

What Tian Xiaole didn't expect was that there would be a follow-up to the news about the Korean group last time.

Because the Korean side exaggerated the publicity, causing a series of negative effects, angry netizens bombarded the official website of the boy group's company, Super Junior.

After several days of fermentation, netizens centered around "Diba" launched a large-scale condemnation, which spread to other social forums.

They even shouted the slogan "The holy war will not end until the brain-dead die."

They agreed to launch a large-scale online campaign on the day the college entrance examination ended.

They have very accurately targeted their fan base.

On June 9th.

The AK voice channel in the operations room was flooded with hundreds of thousands of netizens participating in the operation, which began at 12 o'clock.

Instantly broke through hundreds of Super Junior fan QQ groups, Baidu Tieba, official website...

The Super Junior fan club on Weibo is even more unbearable to look at, with all sorts of lewd remarks and lewd pictures flying around.

At this point, South Korean hackers intervened, attacking the voice chat room and causing black screens and lag.

Users migrated to the IS channel, while other channels such as YY were opened to divert traffic, and the total number of online users still exceeded 10.

The demolition is still ongoing.

They demanded that those crazed fans apologize to the armed police officer who was injured that day.

With hundreds of thousands of netizens acting simultaneously, the impact was beyond imagination. This was the first large-scale gathering on the Chinese internet, and its destructive power was astonishing.

At 5 p.m., the officials began to enter.

Baidu Tieba has begun banning moderators who support the holy war and is banning user IDs on a large scale. Other platforms are also taking action to clean up leading accounts.

At 5:30, Chinese hackers joined the fray, claiming responsibility for the cyberattack on South Korean networks.

This action boosted the morale of netizens, as reinforcements had arrived.

At 6 o'clock, the Baidu Tieba forum, which was undergoing a large-scale account ban, became the target of netizens' anger, with a large influx of netizens causing the website to crash.

At 7 o'clock, hacker groups including Red Hacker and Maple Moon compromised the Nanhan website, SJ's official website, and individual members' websites.

At 7:10, the "Cassiopeia Bar" and "Fairy Bar" joined in, and the destruction continued.

At 7:30, Super Junior's school-based public platform was hacked, instantly flooded with millions of messages.

At 10:00 AM, Baidu's "invincible mode" for SJ was cracked, resulting in a flood of spam. Baidu immediately shut down the SJ forum.

At 11 o'clock, a great victory was won, and the battle was called to a halt.

Huang Jixin is good at riding the wave of online attention; he held a poll on Weibo, letting netizens vote on the nature of this "holy war."

Is it cyberbullying? Or patriotism?
92% of netizens believe this is an act of patriotism and should be praised. (End of Chapter)
