This director is so innocent.

Chapter 128 Fan Xiaopang and Tangtang

Hesheng Xiaoyun Road.

A famous luxury mansion in Beijing.

This place boasts a 270-degree panoramic view from its spacious apartments. In the original timeline, the price per square meter here was over 15 yuan, and the total price exceeded 5000 million yuan.

Fan Xiaopang, dressed in a light and thin silk slip dress, lay lazily on a chaise lounge, enjoying the pleasant afternoon.

Large swaths of snow-white skin and alluring collarbones were exposed, and the low neckline of her pajamas revealed a deep cleavage.

With each breath, the barely visible cleavage becomes even more alluring.

Her legs were long and straight, casually crossed, a pose that was both relaxed and unintentionally sexy.

"What an alluring enchantress!"

Su Jin sighed and gently patted Fan Xiaopang's thigh to wake her up.

He came here because he received a call from Fan Xiaopang, who said he wanted to discuss the script with him.

It's not "Painted Skin," it's the lover role in "The Invisible Guest."

Didn't they say before that Jiao Junyan wasn't suitable?

Then they invited Fan Xiaopang to play the role, and she agreed, not refusing just because it was the second female lead.

It's better to be a supporting actor for Gong Li than for Seo Jae-in – Shinjuku Incident.

The role of Fan Xiaopang originally belonged to Zhang Jingchu, but Fan Xiaopang, taking advantage of Polybona's success, forcefully squeezed out Zhang Jingchu and won the role a week before filming began.

No, not now. Filming for "Painted Skin" is scheduled to begin in December, and Su Jin will not tolerate her taking on multiple projects at once.

She couldn't juggle multiple projects at once, as "Shinjuku Incident" was filmed in too many locations, including Yunnan, Taiwan, and Shinjuku.

The main investor in "Shinjuku Incident" is Emperor Entertainment Group. I called them before to ask if they were interested in investing.

Naturally, no one was interested. The film was too sensitive in its subject matter, and the scenes were filled with blood and violence.

Derek Yee didn't want to cut these scenes, as it would make the storyline abrupt, so the film was not released in mainland China.

Then they lost all their money at their maternal grandparents' house.

With an investment of over 100 million, the box office in Hong Kong Island was less than 15 million.

As for the rumored $1.5 million, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that it's fake.

It's not a Hollywood blockbuster, and it doesn't have a global distribution channel, so how can it sell for $1.5 million?

Fan Xiaopang opened his eyes groggily, still a little sleepy, and turned his head to see Su Jin standing in front of the French windows.

She yawned and stretched, looking like she wasn't fully awake yet.

"When did you arrive?"

"I just arrived." Su Jin turned to look at Fan Xiaopang and praised, "Your floor-to-ceiling windows are really nice; I never noticed them before."

"That's good, you can buy one here too."

"I have no money."

"Hehe." Fan Xiaopang chuckled, got up and went to the living room to pour himself a glass of water, taking a couple of sips.

When she returned, she saw Su Jin lying on the chaise lounge like a king, with one foot resting on the armrest and gently rocking back and forth.

"Su Jin, did you bring your script?" Fan Xiaopang asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Jin was taken aback for a moment, then asked in return, "You really came here to discuss the script with me?"

"What else?" Fan Xiaopang replied with a smile.

"Then let's discuss it!" Su Jin smiled slightly, sat up, handed her the script, and said, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

""

"There are many things we don't understand. Let's start by understanding the second female lead's bed scene." Fan Xiaopang smiled slightly, his captivating eyes sparkling with alluring light.

She placed her small hand on Su Jin's shoulder and lowered her head to kiss his lips.

Now you've shown your true colors!

He said, "How could it really just be about discussing the script?"

The role of a lover isn't difficult; it's easy to portray.

As Su Jin watched the red lips getting closer and closer, a wicked thought suddenly popped into her head.

He raised his hand to stop Fan Xiaopang from leaning forward and said seriously, "What are you doing? Let's discuss the script, not do anything unrelated to it."

Fan Xiaopang wasn't annoyed. As she brushed Su Jin's hand away, she said, "Having in-depth discussions with the director is also part of exploring the script, Director Su, don't you think?"

Su Jin wanted to say no, but she couldn't open her mouth because Fan Xiaopang had already blocked her lips.

Even now, he's given up pretending.

The master kisser's skills kicked in, easily prying open Fan Xiaopang's pearly teeth and entwining with her sweet tongue.

Fan Xiaopang's lips were still the same as before, soft and moist, as sweet as cotton candy, making people not want to part.

After an unknown amount of time, the two parted ways.

Fan Xiaopang straddled Su Jin's lap, his silk slip dress already slipped off his shoulders, revealing glimpses of his figure.

She breathed softly, her eyes were watery, and her red lips were slightly swollen, making her even more beautiful.

Su Jin smiled and asked, "Teacher Fan, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Fan Xiaopang was speechless. He leaned closer and used facts to tell Su Jin that there were still many things she didn't understand.

Su Jin glanced at the large French windows and suddenly stopped moving.

Fan Xiaopang felt a surge of annoyance. Why did it stop?

She had just turned her head to ask Su Jin what was wrong when she heard him say, "Your big French windows aren't double-sided, are they?"

He was so engrossed in his desires that he hadn't even thought about this issue.

That's absolutely infuriating.

If it's double-sided, and someone takes a picture of it, then it's all over.

"One-sided," Fan Xiaopang said irritably.

Hearing this, Su Jin felt relieved.

To be honest, looking at the scenery outside while doing this kind of thing is really damn exciting.

Half an hour later, the battle ended.

Su Jin was still a little unsatisfied, but looking at Fan Xiaopang, who was a puddle of mud, there was no use in being unsatisfied.

This kind of thing is only meaningful when both people put in the effort.

One-sided giving, that's called ————

After Fan Xiaopang had rested, he picked her up and took her to take a bath. Then the two of them seriously discussed the script.

In the evening, Su Jin personally cooked a meal for Fan Xiaopang, which earned her repeated praise.

Fan Xiaopang ate three small bowls of rice in a row, after all, he had used up a lot of energy in the afternoon and needed to replenish it.

Two days later.

Jianmu Media and Hunan TV have finalized their discussions regarding the premiere date of "W: Two Worlds," and the premiere date has been set for December 2nd.

Christmas Eve, December 4th.

Then Jianmu Media released the trailer and the premiere date.

The discussion wasn't very heated.

However, the young fans were very happy and expressed their anticipation for Su Jin's new film.

The following day, Hunan TV revealed the price per episode, causing a stir among the public.

Many people who don't follow "W: Two Worlds" watched the trailer because of the exorbitant price for exclusive broadcasting rights.

"My god! 210 million per episode, are you sure this isn't money laundering?"

"Stop with conspiracy theories. Since Hunan TV dared to release this information, they're obviously not afraid of being investigated."

"I don't know if there will be anyone like him in the future, but it's certain that there will be no one before him. The highest single episode before that should be Big Beard's 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' which seems to have broken a million views per episode."

"Damn, 210 million per episode, 32 episodes, 6720 million. I could never earn that much money even if I didn't eat or drink for my whole life."

""

"Impossible. If you earn 5,000 a month, that's 60,000 a year, and 60 million in ten years. How could you not earn that much?"

"Hey upstairs, did your math teacher come from the gym?"

"Hey everyone, come look! There's a serious-minded kid here."

10 month 18 day.

The TVB drama "Brothers in Arms" starring the four leading men of TVB has been released.

Affected by the film "The Coffin in the Mountain", the box office performance on the first day was mediocre, less than three million to 265 million.

The box office for "The Coffin in the Mountain" was 266 million.

When Bo Nao saw the results, he was completely baffled. It was one thing that Xu Ke, Du Qifeng, and Louis Koo couldn't beat Su Jin.

How come even with the four tigers of TVB joining forces, they still can't beat a movie that's been airing for half a month and is rampant with piracy, "The Coffin in the Mountain".

A bunch of losers, go home and take care of your kids!

Make a movie for your mother.

The production company behind "Brothers" is Andy Lau's Entertainment, and the other three members of the trio were recruited by Andy Lau.

Seeing these box office results, he didn't even want to hold a concert anymore.

The planned duet of the theme song "Brothers" with Eason Chan at his Shanghai concert has also been cancelled.

The following day, "The Sniper and the Strategist" was released.

This movie seems to have a big cast, with Wang Jing directing and three Best Actor winners: Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Zhiwei, and Wu Zhenyu.

In reality, most viewers only recognized their faces but didn't remember their names, resulting in a particularly poor opening day box office of only 67.

On the same day, Disney's animated film "Ratatouille" was released, grossing 232 million on its opening day.

On October 22, the box office results for the opening weekend of three films were released.

The first is "Brothers", with 876 million views.

Second is "Ratatouille," with 659 million views.

Third is "The Sniper", with 187 million.

Meanwhile, "The Coffin in the Mountain" earned 836 million yuan in four days, bringing its total box office to 1.24 million yuan.

Tangtang is the female lead in "The Sniper". After returning from the promotional tour, she went directly to Su Jin to discuss art and seek comfort.

I thought that by getting involved with Wong Jing and starring in a big production, I would become a minor celebrity!

But who knew the movie would be a flop?

Su Jin lit a cigarette afterward and, seeing that Tangtang was still sullen, comforted her, "Cheer up! 'The Sniper' is just your first movie. Don't you have 'Tiger, Stick, and Chicken' at the end of the year? Maybe that movie will be a hit!"

It's a terrible movie, no wonder it's so bad.

They claimed to have broken 10 million in just three days during the New Year's holiday, but that's nothing; it's just false advertising.

The final box office was 1500 million.

For example, although the box office of "Brothers" did not reach 10 million in its opening weekend, it was advertised to have exceeded 10 million.

"Yes, I also have 'Tiger, Stick, and Chicken'." Tangtang encouraged herself, looking very serious.

Seeing this, Su Jin couldn't help but tease her, "Let me tell you, Ning Hao's 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' might also be released three days before New Year's Day."

"what!"

Tangtang, who had just straightened up, slumped down again, her face full of dejection.

She had absolutely no confidence that "Tiger, Stick, and Chicken" could beat "Sheep Without a Shepherd".

What kind of cast did "Sheep Without a Shepherd" have?

With Su Jin, Ning Hao, Liang Jiahui, and Zhou Xun, these four are top-tier players, making it a truly elite lineup.

And what about "Tiger, Stick, and Chicken"?

How can Zeng Zhiwei, Xia Yu, Liang Yongqi, and herself fight?

Looking at the titles of the two films, audiences would immediately lose interest in "Tiger, Stick, and Chicken".

"Is Ning Hao's 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' really scheduled for release three days before New Year's Day?" Tangtang confirmed.

"We can't confirm it right now; we'll have to wait until Ning Hao comes back to see."

Seeing the smile on Tangtang's face, Su Jin changed the subject and said, "However, it's highly likely that 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' will be released three days before New Year's Day."

"You damn Su Jin, are you deliberately trying to annoy me?!" Tangtang angrily slapped Su Jin's thigh, then pursed her lips and glared at Su Jin.

Her little hands were clenched into fists, and she looked sulky, like a little tiger.

Su Jin found it hilarious to see Tangtang's huffy expression; some people are sweet even when they're angry.

He pulled Tangtang close and hugged her tightly to prevent her from struggling.

"Let me tell you, acting in these kinds of trashy movies won't do you any good at all."

"Trash movies? Then give me some good ones!" Tangtang said irritably.

"Lurking is a great show! You still don't want to take it?"

"What's the use of it being so good? Wanqiu is just a supporting actress, how could she possibly make me famous?"

Late Autumn is definitely not going to become a household name; at best, she'll become a familiar face, but it's impossible for the audience to truly remember her.

Come to think of it, Tangtang has been with him for so long, and he hasn't given her a single resource. He's really despicable!

Su Jin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, when I get back to the company tomorrow, I'll look for scripts and see if there are any suitable for you, then you can show them to Xu Li."

Tangtang's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"real."

"You can't lie to me, or else—or else—" Tangtang wanted to make a solemn oath, but she couldn't bear to.

"Otherwise what?"

"What's it to you? Just don't lie to me," Tangtang said haughtily.

"I won't lie to you, I'll go look for it tomorrow."

"Let's pinky swear." Tangtang raised her little hand and made a six-sign.

Su Jin smiled and made a six gesture in return, hooking her little finger together with it.

"Pinky promise—" Tangtang said, feeling wronged, when Su Jin didn't say anything. "You should say it too!"

"Okay, okay—"

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, no take-backs, whoever breaks it is a dog."

Just as Su Jin was about to loosen her pinky, Tangtang said, "It only counts if it's stamped."

How childish!

Su Jin smiled and put her thumb together with hers.

"It's stamped, you can't go back on your word."

"it is good."

The next day, I arrived at the company.

Su Jin opened the office safe and took out a thick stack of scripts.

He would provide the outlines for these scripts, which would then be refined by the scriptwriting department, and then revised repeatedly until they were finalized.

-

The one at the very top is "Snow Leopard," but that won't do. It's a purely male-centric drama with no opportunity for the female lead to shine.

"I Hear Your Voice," "Pinocchio," "Descendants of the Sun," "My Love from the Star" —

These are all Korean dramas, and apart from Cheon Song-yi, Tangtang is quite suitable for the other roles.

Suddenly, a script titled "Summer's Desire" caught Su Jin's attention. If he remembered correctly, Tangtang became famous because of this drama.

"Chinese Paladin 3" was not Tangtang's breakthrough work. At the time, the drama was only moderately popular and could not be compared with dramas like "Summer's Desire".

Of course, its potential is not as great as that of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

That's the decision. We'll give "Summer's Desire" to Tangtang. Plus, "Chinese Paladin 3" will be filmed next year, so Tangtang should become famous.

As for movie resources, I'll watch them next year.

The story of "Summer's Desire" is very simple. It mainly tells the story of a wealthy family with three daughters and their melodramatic love stories with their boyfriends.

The eldest daughter is Zhenzhen, an illegitimate child; the second daughter is Youshan, an adopted daughter; and the third daughter is Tianmei, an only child.

Interestingly, the names of these three people together form the Chinese characters for "truth, goodness, and beauty."
