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

With its comprehensive strength in scale, professional range, talent pool, and production quality, the Beijing Film Academy has become a benchmark for film education in Asia.

It covers the needs of the entire film industry chain, including directing, acting, cinematography, sound recording, art direction, and animation.

Claimed to be the premier sect in the film and television industry, 70% of the members are fellow apprentices.

In online novels, the male protagonists almost always have a background at the Beijing Film Academy.

When Tian Xiaole arrived, the place was already packed with people.

More than 500 film and television actors and stars were invited to gather, covering graduates from the 70s to the 00s.

A large number of movie fans and spectators gathered at the school gate, all there to watch the excitement or to see their favorite stars.

"Director Tian, ​​you've finally arrived! Go straight to the red carpet."

Guided by Wang Jinsong, Tian Xiaole walked onto the red carpet, just like at a large awards ceremony, with media reporters on both sides holding long lenses and microphones.

The autograph wall was full of familiar faces: director Chen, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, and other directors from five generations.

The sixth generation is almost complete: Ning Hao, Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye...

Veteran actors from the Beijing Film Academy, including Zhang Fengye, Zhang Tielin, Tang Guoqiang, and Wang Zhiwen…

Popular A-list actors, including Jiang Wenli, Yuan Li, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Jiang Qinqin, and Yan Dancheng...

New generation actors: Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Luo Jin, Wang Luodan...

Looking at it this way, occupying half of the entertainment industry is not considered a small number.

As the leading figure of the middle generation, Tian Xiaole's appearance attracted everyone's attention, followed by a chorus of greetings.

In this setting, Han Sanping, despite not being particularly tall, still stood out from the crowd, surrounded by a group of filmmakers.

Seeing him waving, Tian Xiaole dismissed Huang Xiaoming, who was exchanging pleasantries, and headed towards the circle of famous directors.

"Xiao Le, how's your movie filming going? Are you going to Venice this time?"

When the people around heard Zhang Yimou's question, their eyes changed when they looked at Tian Xiaole. He was very likely to become the youngest director to win all three major film awards.

I've heard about the relationship between Mark Muller and Old Tian.

"I do plan to go to Venice to see if I can get what I want." Tian Xiaole made no attempt to hide his ambition.

These words made Director Chen's eyes flicker with uncertainty; he wanted to show an envious expression, but he was afraid of lowering his own standards.

The thought of the poor reviews and box office performance of "Sacrifice" only made me more frustrated.

I couldn't help but doubt myself, wondering if I was really not suited to making commercial films.

The thought had barely crossed my mind when Director Chen snapped it out of my head.

It's not about the quality of the film that the audience doesn't understand the content.

Zhang Yimou was much more straightforward; he patted Tian Xiaole on the shoulder and encouraged him:

"Keep it up, I look forward to the day you become a three-time Golden Horse Award-winning director."

···
The school anniversary celebration began, and Professor Chen, as an outstanding alumnus, took the stage to give a speech.

I glanced at Tian Xiaole casually; his back, which had been slightly bent just moments before, was now perfectly straight.

It's as if it's saying: I'm the one who has to handle big situations!

Unfortunately, Tian Xiaole didn't even look at him; she was chatting with Lao Tian.

"The Berlin Film Festival will announce its shortlist in the next few days."

"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence in me?"

"No, that's not it. Keep an eye on the shortlist."

Tian Xiaole cautioned, "Berlin leans more towards political themes, so signing up for the [Emperor] role is a bit of a disadvantage."

"I have confidence in the film."

Old Tian looked at Director Chen, who was speaking eloquently on the stage, and said expressionlessly.

Tian Xiaole also stopped the conversation, and Zhang Huijun took over speaking on stage, holding a letter with a handwritten message in his hand.

Next came the awards ceremony.

The New China Film Pioneer Award was posthumously awarded to three highly respected filmmakers.

The Outstanding Contribution to Education Award was received by several senior professors, including Lao Tian, ​​Wang Jinsong, and Cui Xinqin.

As for the Outstanding Graduate Award, almost everyone receives one, and all those who attend are outstanding graduates.

As for those who weren't invited, they were all "unrelated" people who hadn't made a name for themselves and had achieved nothing.

···
After the ceremony, it turned into a large social event, where many actors seized the opportunity to build relationships with the famous director.

The huge success of "Love is Not Blind" made Xue Xiaolu an instant sensation as a director, surrounded by sycophantic actors.

After seeing the others off, he walked towards Tian Xiaole, who was not far away.
In recent years, it has become popular for pregnant women in China to give birth overseas. She wants to use this social hot topic as a theme to adapt a script about a transnational romance.

"Xiao Le, you're really lucky with all those beautiful women around you."

Xue Xiaolu looked at Wang Luodan, Yang Mi, Tan Songyun and the other girls beside Tian Xiaole and teased them with a smile.

"Sister Xue, is there something you need?" Tian Xiaole asked, changing the subject.

When it came to serious matters, Xue Xiaolu put away her joking expression and talked about her recent ideas, preparing to shoot a cross-border romance film.

"Sister Xue, this story is good. I'll invest in you once the script is finished."

“After I’ve done my field research, I’ll start rewriting it.” As she spoke, Xue Xiaolu looked at Wang Luodan: “You might be cast as the female lead in this drama.”

"I'll always reserve my schedule to work with Sister Xue again."

Wang Luodan smiled broadly and stepped forward to link arms with Xue Xiaolu, indicating that they had a good relationship.

Yang Mi was quite disappointed. She really wanted to work with a big-name director who had already proven himself in the market.

She turned her gaze to Tian Xiaole and whispered an invitation. She hadn't received any favors in a long time, so she had to actively seek out any resources she wanted.

"Director Tian, ​​a new restaurant has opened near the school. Let's go try it together."

Tian Xiaole wanted to refuse, but seeing her burning gaze, she didn't say it.

Since Yang Mi joined the company, apart from the "Humanity 4" project, no other film and television resources have been arranged for her.

She was worried about being neglected and marginalized in the company, so she had to have more in-depth conversations with Tian Xiaole.

Tan Songyun, who overheard the conversation, also wanted to join in and freeload, but Yang Mi shut her up with a glare.

She belatedly realized that it was definitely not as simple as just eating.

···
Tan Songyun guessed correctly; there was no newly opened restaurant, and the two immediately became very close.

Yang Mi went to great lengths to make Tian Xiaole remember her kindness.

After the wind stopped and the rain subsided.

Tian Xiaole glanced at the time, pulled up his pants, and was about to leave when Yang Mi hugged him from behind, pressing him tightly against her back.

"Brother Le, will you stay and keep me company?"

Tian Xiaole untied his tightly clasped hands, turned around and looked down at her, saying softly:

"Hundreds of people in the crew are waiting for me. I'll spend more time with you another day."

Yang Mi shook her head in disagreement. The film crew was in the capital, so what could possibly be delayed if they went there early tomorrow?
"Hey, what are you doing..."

The next day.

Tian Xiaole received a call from Jiang Wen, telling him not to be late for the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Well, Whiplash is off for another day.

After giving instructions to the production crew and replying to Liu Shishi's message, Tian Xiaole tossed her phone aside.

Looking at Yang Mi sleeping soundly in his arms, he realized he had been too proactive last night and was exhausted.

Tian Xiaole finished his blue buff recovery and now it was his turn to take the initiative, so he immediately reached in and took it.

"Brother Le, stop messing around, I want to sleep a little longer," Yang Mi said sleepily.

"It's okay, you go to sleep, I'll do my thing."

···
Jiang Wen regarded the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" as his comeback film, and the premiere was quite large.

A red carpet several dozen meters long stretched out from the venue, where tall and slender hostesses stood ready.

When Tian Xiaole arrived, Han Sanping had just gotten off the bus.

He stopped and waited for the latter.

"Uncle Han, let's go together."

"Sure, you don't have a female companion anyway."

Faced with Old Man Han's teasing, Tian Xiaole smiled helplessly.

As the two walked down the red carpet, the reporters' cameras immediately went into overdrive, flashing incessantly.

I left my name on the signature wall and walked towards the venue.

"Jiang Wen is a talented director. This time he has switched to making commercial films. I don't know if the box office will be profitable."

Han Sanping was quite worried about Jiang Wen. The previous film, "The Sun Also Rises," was a huge loss. If it lost money again this time, even the richest investors would be scared.

As he spoke, he glanced at Tian Xiaole: "You invested quite a bit this time, do you think this movie is promising?"

“I invested in Jiang Wen because I admire him, it has nothing to do with whether or not I make money.”

Tian Xiaole added, "As for how the movie is, we'll know when it's released."

Han Sanping nodded. He had already given Jiang Wen a lot of support, and China Film Group had also invested in this film.

The two entered the venue, instantly attracting a lot of attention.

Tian Xiaole glanced around and saw that there were quite a few big names present.

However, it makes sense. For projects involving China Film Group, Xiaole Pictures, and Yinghuang, no one would dare to disrespect them.

Boss Yang was the absolute center, surrounded by Jiang Wen, Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Ge You, and others.

However, the appearance of Tian Xiaole and Han Sanping instantly shifted the focus of the originally orderly meeting.

"Chairman Han, Director Tian, ​​you two have finally arrived..."

"Chairman Han~"

"Director Tian~"

The shouts of greetings instantly drowned out the two of them, and the focus shifted to Han Sanping and Tian Xiaole. (End of Chapter)
