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

Media reports on the box office success of "Now You See Me" in North America caused an instant sensation.

"It is reported that the action crime film 'Now You See Me,' directed and written by Tian Xiaole and co-produced by 20th Century Fox, Xiaole Pictures, and China Film Group, grossed $30 million in its first three days in North America and received high praise from audiences..."

Film and television companies, actors, and celebrities in the industry have all taken notice of the news reports.

Envy, jealousy, lamentation, cursing, indifference, and cold indifference—actors in the industry experience a variety of emotions.

Tang Yan starred in three Hollywood movies, which were both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, further solidifying her status as an international actress.

Suddenly, online discussions about Tangyan surged again.

The new generation of four young actresses are already showing a clear gap in their abilities, making them incomparable.

On the contrary, the leading actresses all felt immense pressure.

If you have awards to your name, you can catch up with their status.

This is how the online discussions are going on.

Inside a high-end apartment, Fan Binbin looked at the news online, took out the "dragon robe" he had brought back, and began to iron it.

Since Tian Xiaole likes this outfit, of course we should make good use of it.

The two were simply taking from each other.

One values ​​physical pleasure, the other values ​​fame and fortune.

She wanted to elevate the relationship; physical intimacy can become tiresome, and besides, she would grow old and her skin would sag.

And there will always be young actresses.

If you can become Tian Xiaole's regular lover, the treatment will definitely be different.

It must be through this kind of relationship that Tang Yan was able to continuously obtain Hollywood projects and step onto the international stage.

And what about Fan Binbin?
They can only stay within the country.

The film "New Shaolin," with an investment of 2 million yuan and a star-studded cast including Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, and Nicholas Tse, features her as the only female lead.

However, compared to "The Thieves" starring Tang Yan, it is utterly insignificant.

In this era, film and television companies, actors, and stars in the industry have a biased view of Hollywood.

Fan Binbin picked up his phone, found the right angle, took a selfie, edited the text, and sent it to Tian Xiaole.

"Brother Le, I brought back the dragon robe. I want to wear it for you."

·······
On the other side, Tian Xiaole was scrolling through online news, feeling very emotional.

The film and television industry is so popular that even monks can't help but flock to it.

Who would have thought that a monk who constantly talks about the emptiness of the four elements would actually invest 2 million yuan to produce a movie without batting an eye?

The internet is filled with boos. Is this still the Buddha that the public believes only helps those with affinity?

Changing the character 缘 (yuán, meaning fate/destiny) to 圆 (yuán, meaning circle/round) would probably

buzzing...

Tian Xiaole's phone rang; it was a multimedia message from Fan Binbin.

Seeing Xiao Fan dressed in a dragon robe made my throat feel dry and itchy.

"Give me your address, I'll come find you later."

Just as I finished replying to the message, Tang Yan pushed open the door and walked in. She rarely comes to the company.

Tian Xiaole put away her phone and asked curiously, "Why did you come to the company?"

"Can't I miss you?" Tang Yan said coquettishly, sitting naturally in Tian Xiaole's lap, her arms wrapped around his neck.

"Brother Le, will there be a premiere for 'The Heist' when it's released in China?"

Tian Xiaole noticed Tang Yan's expectant gaze and instantly understood her little secret, so he decided to tease her:

"It's already been held in North America, so we can just release it directly."

"If it's held in Hollywood, it should be held in China too, and the audience should be treated equally."

Tang Yan spoke in a serious tone, showing no intention of showing off.

Female celebrities, there's always some unspoken competition between them.

Tang Yan's resources are undoubtedly good, but to say that she lacks awards and can't compare to the top actresses is to show them off her resources.

"Brother Le, whether or not to hold a movie premiere is up to you. Just hold one."

As she spoke, Tang Yan started to make a move, acting coquettishly like a little woman.

The large, round buttocks rubbed against his legs, quickly igniting Tian Xiaole's "supreme bone".

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. With China Film Group involved in the production, given Old Man Han's personality, how could he possibly not hold a premiere?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan's eyes lit up, and she had already figured out how to vent her anger.

"I invited all the top actresses in the industry to the movie premiere. After all, they are all talented actresses, and I can get their advice from them."

Tian Xiaole then realized that Tang Yan was quite vengeful.

Online discussions about her status and the gap in awards between her and top actresses are directly slapped in the face of the actual star.

He had no reason to disagree with this request; if she wanted to make a scene, so be it.
"If you want to invite someone, just go and discuss it with Xiao Chen."

The film premiere was held in the name of China Film Group, and they were responsible for inviting the participants.

However, Xiaole Pictures is one of the distributors and also has the right to invite people.

"Then I'll go discuss the list with Sister Xi."

Tang Yan was very proactive and immediately got up to find Chen Zhixi.

As for who to invite, she has a list in mind.

Watching the departing figure, Tian Xiaole sighed; the 'Supreme Bone' still hadn't been appeased.

However, seeing the address Xiao Fan sent made me feel much better instantly.

·······
"We absolutely have to invite Fan Binbin; I don't like her. And that Jing Tian, ​​she keeps talking about Brother Le all the time; we have to invite her too."

Tang Yanban counted on her fingers and named more than a dozen actresses, all of whom were top-tier.

Chen Zhixi suppressed a laugh and quickly wrote down the name; after all, it was just an invitation.

"Also, don't forget Liu Yifei."

In Tang Yan's notebook, Liu Yifei's threat level ranks in the top three.

On the surface, they are still good sisters, but behind the scenes they are both on guard.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Zhixi asked.

"Let's invite that newcomer Yang Mi, whom the company just signed."

"Okay, I'll have her take a day off to come and participate."

Chen Zhixi didn't hesitate for long and immediately agreed. In her opinion, Tang Yan was declaring her status as the rightful wife.

On the other side, Han Sanping looked at the list of invited guests sent by Xiaole Pictures and was a little confused. Why were they all women?

"Chairman Han, should we ask about that over there?" the secretary asked.

"No need. Since these people were invited, there must be a reason."

Tian Xiaole made an excuse to send Tang Yan away and set off at the new address given by Fan Binbin.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows; this time, it moved to a new apartment.

ding dong...

The door opened a crack, and Xiao Fan, dressed in a dragon robe, smiled, ready to receive Tian Xiaole's favor.

But standing outside the door were his assistant and two bodyguards.

"Ms. Fan, we need to go in and check."

In the new environment, Tian Xiaole attaches great importance to privacy and security, and wants to eliminate all possibilities of being secretly filmed or recorded.

Fan Binbin was stunned for a moment, his expression a little unnatural, but he quickly recovered.

Make way for the three assistants to enter the room and check it out.

A short while later, Tian Xiaole, having received confirmation that everything was safe, knocked on the door. Xiao Fan's appearance caught his eye.

Wearing a yellow dragon robe that exposed her shoulders, which accentuated her curvaceous figure, her hair was styled in a bun, revealing her delicate features. She wore light makeup and high heels.

Before leaving the room, the assistant pursed his lips, blaming himself for not being a man; he couldn't afford to mess with such a stunning woman.

"Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Fan Binbin put on airs, trying to embody the role of Wu Zetian.

Tian Xiaole asked her to cosplay a character, and that's how she made the most of the situation.

"My beloved concubine, do you intend to rebel against the Heavenly Gang?"

If Xiao Fan wants to be an empress, then Tian Xiaole is Li Shimin, and in front of him, she can only be Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, please favor me."

Fan Binbin clasped his hands at his waist, bowed slightly, and brushed his body, instantly recognizing the role.

"Hahaha, my beloved concubine, why don't you come up here and do it yourself?"

Tian Xiaole raised his hand, this time handing the initiative over to Xiao Fan, so as not to do justice to this outfit.

········
Xiao Le Pictures has finally produced a film that lost money.

【Ocean Heaven】held a screening event, received good reviews, and then went directly to theaters.

Even with Jet Li starring, the box office only reached a few hundred thousand on the first day.

After two weeks of box office revenue, the theaters earned 1400 million yuan. After deducting their share of the profits and taxes, they lost several million yuan in total.

"Xiao Le, I've made you lose money, breaking your record of never losing money before."

Xue Xiaolu called, her voice full of apology.

"Film investments can be profitable or not, as long as Sister Xue isn't discouraged."

Tian Xiaole took it all in stride, though the pressure of having never lost money put him under immense pressure.

"I was mentally prepared to make this kind of art film, and I think I made it very well."

"Haha, I like Sister Xue's confidence. If you have any good scripts, feel free to come to me."

"Okay, this is what I'm waiting for."

Xue Xiaolu does indeed have a subject she wants to film; the script is already being written, and it tells the story of a cross-border romance.

·······
The filming of "The Witch" has wrapped up in Beijing after three months.

This film, which has received tremendous attention since its inception, has been eagerly awaited by movie fans for its release.

When asked by the media about his opinion on the practice of booking out large venues for the "Great Earthquake" concert, Guo Fan gave a helpless smile.

He knew that when "The Photo Studio" was released, this monopolistic approach of booking entire theaters would only make him more domineering.

"Good movies with meaningful content should be supported so that more people can see them."

Within the industry, a group of production companies are boycotting the practice of booking entire theaters, and Guo Fan is the first director to express his support.

However, upon thinking of the Nanjing photo studio, they all fell silent.

The box office for "Aftershock" is still soaring.

7天3亿，11天4亿，16天5亿，日票房终于下降到二千万。

However, this does not stop the media from being optimistic that this will be the second Chinese-language film to break the 10 billion yuan mark.

Huayi also added fuel to the fire by announcing that "The Great Earthquake" had received an extension.

At the same time, it also expressed the desire for a box office of 10 billion.

What happened to their promise not to exploit the suffering of the Chinese people? Now they're not even pretending anymore.

Tian Xiaole browsed through the movie information.

The movies released in August were all rather dismal, given the overwhelming success of "Aftershock".

It has a winner-takes-all feel to it.

Wang Lihong's self-written and directed film "Love Announcement" only grossed less than 30 million yuan at the box office without Liu Yifei's support.

Even worse were the Hong Kong films. "The Informant," which had an investment of 1.5 million, only grossed 5000 million in its first two weeks and ultimately earned 5150 million.

"City Under Siege," with a production cost of 1 million yuan, performed better at the box office, earning 8900 million yuan.

The low-budget film "The Jade and the Pearl" was the worst performing one, only grossing 960 million at the box office.

So far, apart from "Ip Man 4" making money, almost all other Hong Kong films released in the first half of the year have been box office failures.

The headline "Hong Kong Cinema is Dead" was displayed on the front page of Hong Kong media, which is quite disheartening.

How long ago did Hong Kong films, once hailed as the Hollywood of the East, fall to this state?

Relying on past glories, remaking old films, and lacking innovation have become synonymous with Hong Kong films.

Tian Xiaole specifically named Hong Kong film directors such as Wu Yusen and Chen Kexin, accusing them of using the guise of making blockbuster films to swindle money from investors, often resulting in films of questionable quality.

But there are still those who don't believe in such things. Bernard will collaborate with Tsui Hark, investing a whopping 2.3 million yuan to shoot a 3D martial arts film, full of hype.

At this moment, Huayi announced good news to the public, instantly dispelling Xu Ke's concerns about being scammed.

"Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame," a film produced entirely by Huayi Brothers and directed by Tsui Hark, has been nominated for the main competition at the Venice International Film Festival.

This is also the only Chinese-language film nominated this year.

Capitalizing on the buzz, Berna announced the cast of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate": Jet Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun...

Invitations to the premiere of "The Heist" have begun to be sent out.

China Film Group invites all kinds of people, emphasizing the grandeur of the event and inviting guests from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, including actors and stars of second-tier or higher status.

Yang Mi, who had just joined the cast of "Palace," looked at the invitation in her hand, feeling a little confused.

Logically speaking, she had just joined the crew, so attending the premiere was optional; yet they still sent her an invitation.

Is this a sign of valuing oneself?
"Honey, I'll ask for leave for you. The invitation has already been sent over, it wouldn't be right not to go."

Zeng Jia was afraid that Yang Mi would throw a tantrum, so she whispered a word of advice, but didn't mention the most important thing.

Tang Yan is now the top female employee in the company, and it would be easy to offend people if she didn't go to support her.

"I'm not stupid, I'll definitely go."

Yang Mi tossed the invitation aside and pouted.

If Tang Yan can get such good resources, so can she.

Liu Yifei, a member of the cast and crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story," didn't think much of the invitation.

She and Tang Yan got along well, and good friends should support each other.

"Yifei, you're the only one in our crew who received an invitation. Come back and tell me about the movie after you've seen it."

Kara Hui sighed, as the projects of Xiao Le Films had nothing to do with Hong Kong actors.

Meanwhile, with the premiere of "The Heist" approaching, those who were supposed to receive invitations have already received them.

Meanwhile, Cai Yinong waited and waited, asking Liu Shishi several times, before finally confirming that she had not received an invitation.

"Shi Shi, the premiere of 'Now You See Me' is quite large, with many big-name directors and producers in attendance."

Ask Director Tian for two invitation letters; let's go and experience the grand spectacle.

"Sister Cai, I'm not sure if I can get it, so maybe we shouldn't bother Director Tian."

"You just don't understand men's hearts. You didn't refuse his requests several times. What does that mean?"

Cai Yinong said to herself, "This means Director Tian doesn't dislike you, and even values ​​you a lot."

"Is...is this really true?"

Liu Shishi was somewhat skeptical of this fallacy.

I wouldn't say I dislike them, but I wouldn't say I value them either; they usually don't take the initiative.

"It's definitely true, you can try it if you don't believe me," Cai Yinong urged. (End of Chapter)
