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

The awards ceremony banquet ended at 10 p.m.

News of the film festival spread from Berlin to all parts of the world.

The story of the father and son performing together is especially popular.

The front page headlines in the domestic film and television industry are all about the Berlin awards ceremony.

In particular, Lao Tian's acceptance speech drew the attention of countless filmmakers, who were then left speechless!

It's truly remarkable how someone can talk about relying on their son in such a refined and confident way.

Director Tian Zhuangzhuang won the Silver Bear for Best Film at the Berlin International Film Festival for his film "Departures"!

"The Tian family, father and son, appearing on the same stage is truly a remarkable story in the film industry!"

"Tian Zhuangzhuang's achievements are inseparable from Tian Xiaole's scripts!"

"..."

···
The next day, Tian Xiaole came and went in a hurry.

However, he did not return to China directly, but instead went to Hollywood.

Lao Tian stayed behind to exchange ideas and learn from other filmmakers, and also to keep an eye on film copyright transactions.

With Tin Siu-lok as the screenwriter and the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay, the copyright price for "Departures" is unlikely to be low.

On the other side, Liu Shishi was fully armed, covering herself up very tightly.

I came out of a very private hospital, feeling quite dazed.

Sitting in the van, I was still reeling from the test results.

I carefully checked the test results in my hand again, and I realized that I was indeed pregnant.

It's been a month already.

Without a doubt, it was Tian Xiaole's child.

During the filming of "Whiplash," the two were shameless and unrestrained, and didn't even take safety precautions when they were having fun.

Liu Shishi immediately called Tian Xiaole to hear his opinion.

The phone turned off, and a notification tone came through the receiver.

Liu Shishi sighed, leaned back in her seat, stroked her flat belly, and smiled, unconsciously radiating maternal warmth.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that even if Tian Xiaole didn't acknowledge the child, she would still give birth to it.

This is a little life, and it is her right to be a mother.

At Los Angeles International Airport, James arrived with a group of people to pick him up.

"Boss, welcome back to Hollywood, loyal to you. Your most loyal subordinate, James, is sworn to serve you to the death."

"Watch less brainless TV dramas, or I'll look like the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King."

Tian Xiaole hugged James. There was a reason for his enthusiasm: he came to give him shares.

Pangu Pictures has done well in recent years, and James has made great contributions to this. So, we agreed to let him go from being a professional manager to a shareholder.

In the car, James kept talking: "Boss, you guessed wrong. I'm not watching a TV series, I'm watching a novel."

Chinese novels are so captivating; they can even help addicts kick their drug addiction.

This period of 11 years was the peak of online novels, giving birth to many influential works.

My "Panlong" (a type of tomato dish) has caused quite a stir overseas.

Chen Dong has started serializing "Covering the Sky".

The Third Young Master is currently finishing "Heavenly Jewel Change".

The author sets aside unrealistic ideas and returns to the novel.

He instructed James in the driver's seat, "Go to Fox first."

Tian Xiaole had made an appointment with William before she came.

If you want to cultivate excellent directors, you can't just stay in China; you need to go out and see more of the world.

Soon, the group arrived at Fox, where William was already waiting to greet them at the door.

"Tian, ​​welcome to the great 20th Century Fox Studios. Would you like me to show you around?"

"No need, I'm here on important business."

Upon hearing that there was something important going on, William quickly led the person into the conference room.

I thought Tian Xiaole was here to see the post-production of "The Thieves 2" and "The Museum 3".

Inside the meeting room, Tian Xiaole had just sat down, and before the coffee was even served, William asked expectantly:

"Tian, ​​are you here this time for a new project collaboration?"

“That’s right.” Tian Xiaole nodded, took a sip of the coffee her secretary brought her, and said slowly:

"I am interested in the Marvel IPs held by Fox."

William sat up straight. Fox had the Marvel rights to make several series, but only X-Men had decent box office results; the others had mostly lost money.

The project "Green Lantern," which is currently being filmed, was started after seeing the huge success of "The Dark Knight" next door.

DC has many successful examples of developing superheroes, such as The Dark Knight and Spider-Man, which are global blockbusters.

Fox has been envious for a long time.

It's a pity that no big-name director was willing to take it on.

In his eyes, Tian Xiaole is a magical director, and if he were to personally develop a Marvel superhero film, he believes that Fox executives would be more than happy to do so.

"Tian, ​​which superhero IP have you got your eye on?"

"Deadpool".

Tian Xiaole uttered these two words, and then added: "I adapted the script, but I will not direct it myself. I will be the producer."

This request greatly disappointed William, as Tian Xiaole had never lost money in the commercial film industry and preferred that he direct the film himself.

"So who will you hire to direct?"

“I have someone in mind; he has good talent.”

Tian Xiaole decided not to reveal anything for the time being, seeing that William was in a dilemma, and that such a major matter was not something he, as a middle manager, could decide.

He told him, "I'll be in Hollywood for two days. You guys discuss it first, and let me know when you have a result."

After saying that, he got up and left with James, who hadn't said a word the whole time.

William realized what was happening and quickly sent the person out of Fox, then hurriedly reported to the board of directors.

The following day, Pangu Pictures changed its equity structure.

James received 10% of the shares, and the company has a right of first refusal to repurchase them upon sale.

Demonark acquired a 5% stake through the "Human" and "Speed" series.

These two series brought huge profits to the company. As for why they received fewer shares, the scripts were all created by Tian Xiaole, and Hollywood has no shortage of directors.

If Demona doesn't want to do it, there are plenty of others who will.

Anyone can film according to a script, right?

Fox responded in the afternoon.

It was the same conference room, but this time there were several more high-ranking white people present.

"Tian, ​​the company has agreed to your request, but the specific details still need to be discussed."

Tian Xiaole nodded in understanding, because he hadn't mentioned his other conditions yet.

Throughout the afternoon, the conference room was filled with sounds of debate.

···
At Los Angeles Airport, Tian Xiaole set off to return to China. Turning to James, who had come to see her off, she said:

Keep a close eye on the project's preparations; I'll arrange for the director to come over soon.

"Don't worry, boss, leave it to me."

Tian Xiaole patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked into the VIP room.

Meanwhile, Hollywood media outlets had already reported photos of Tian Xiaole entering and leaving Fox.

"Chinese director Tian Xiaole is suspected of starting a new collaboration with 20th Century Fox..."

···
On the plane, Tian Xiaole was fairly satisfied with the trip.

The Deadpool project had a budget of $6000 million and secured half of the funding.

Although only Pangu Pictures can participate in the investment, Chinese film companies are excluded.

Copyright belongs to Fox, and subsequent revenue is only available for ten years.

Tian Xiaole didn't care about these things; his focus was on cultivating Guo Fan's ability to handle large-scale productions and his understanding of the latest technologies.

Xiaole Pictures acquired so many copyrights, so Guo Fan has to shoulder more responsibility.

At this time in China.

In a highly private club, Tang Yan was having a party with Xiao Tianxin and Chen Hong with Arthur.

The two, who rarely had free time, decided to meet up with their children.

“You have to call me uncle, I’m older than you,” Arthur said arrogantly, hands on his hips.

“I don’t want to. I want to call you Arthur, that’s what your mother calls you too.”

Xiao Tianxin tilted her head back and retorted.

“You can call me Mom, but you can’t.”

"Why can't I? I can be your mother too."

Arthur: ...

"Ha ha……"

Watching the two children argue, Tang Yan and Chen Hong exchanged a smile.

"Children say the darndest things." Chen Hong waved her hand dismissively, having not felt this relaxed in a long time.

"Tangtang, go out more often in the future, and let the wives of directors in the industry get to know them."

Chen Hong ate her snacks. She used to be the leader of the ladies' circle. Although Tang Yan's addition would shake her position, she didn't care.

Let's tie the third generation together first.

"Sure, I'll trouble Sister Hong to introduce us."

This was Tang Yan's first time integrating into the circle of ladies, and she adopted a very humble attitude.

Chen Hong put down her unfinished dessert, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Professor Tian! You won the Berlin Award. All the directors in the industry are so envious."

Before Tang Yan could speak, she changed the subject and asked curiously:

"Tangtang, what do you call Professor Tian at home?"

"Brother Le calls me Lao Tian, ​​so I call him that too."

Tang Yan smiled sweetly, not feeling it was impolite at all, but rather feeling closer to her.

Hearing this, Chen Hong found it unbelievable. How could someone from a film family be so casual?

Compared to the Chen family, they have absolutely no cultural background, yet they insist on pretending to be cultured, resulting in a lot of trouble.

"I really envy you. You can be so carefree and not be bound by any rules or regulations."

Tang Yan asked curiously, "Is the Chen family different?"

Chen Hong sighed and shook her head: "Every family has its own problems!"

The two stopped talking about that topic and started chatting about other things, occasionally glancing at the two children playing around.

···
"Tangtang, let's make another date next time."

"Okay, Sister Hong."

Watching Chen Hong lead Arthur into the car and leave, Tang Yan glanced down at Xiao Tianxin, who was holding her hand:
"Let's go home."

"Mom, when is Dad coming back?"

"You'll see him soon, before dark."

Before boarding the plane, Tian Xiaole sent a text message to Tang Yan.

The nanny van pulled up, and she took Xiaotianxin's hand and got in.

As the vehicle drove out of the club, a van followed behind, carrying two people with cameras around their necks—they were professional paparazzi.

"Is Director Tian still in Berlin? Who's using his car?"

The person in the driver's seat said this.

"Just follow closely, and we'll know once we get the photos, right?"

The person in the passenger seat, holding a camera, directed, "Follow them and see if you can get a shot inside the car."

The vehicle accelerated and caught up with the van in front, and the two vehicles drove at the same speed.

"No, you can't see inside. The car has anti-theft features."

The paparazzi in the van said dejectedly.

"Have they spotted us? The vehicle has slowed down."

The van stopped by the roadside, and someone got out of the passenger seat and walked towards the ice cream shop next door.

"Doesn't this woman look familiar?"

"We're rich! We're rich! She's Tang Yan's assistant."

Inside the van, the paparazzi sitting in the passenger seat were so excited they were practically dancing with joy.

"Then doesn't that mean—Tang Yan is in the car?"

"It must be her!"

"You have to take photos first, otherwise how will you get the money?"

"Just follow along, you'll eventually get a shot."

A short while later, Tang Yan's assistant came out with two ice cream cones.

The nanny van's bodyguard and driver noticed something was wrong: "The van behind us has been following us all the way; it must be paparazzi."

"Oh no, I hope they didn't take a picture of Xin Xin?"

Normally, Tang Yan would be thrilled to be photographed, and with Tian Xin by her side, protective measures would be her top priority.

If it were exposed, they would live under the spotlight every day, without end.

"Probably not, the vehicle has anti-spy camera features, so it can't capture what's happening inside the car."

On the way home, the bodyguard called for backup.

The van was quickly blocked off and couldn't be followed to the house; even the neighbors would become suspicious.

···
The appearance of the group at Beijing Capital International Airport attracted a lot of attention.

Two bodyguards, one in front and one behind, and an assistant by her side, protected Tian Xiaole in the middle.

The media waiting at the airport, seeing no opportunity for interviews, could only shout from the outside:

"Director Tian, ​​do you have any new collaborations with Fox? Would you mind letting me know?"

"Could you tell us how it felt to present the award to Professor Tian?"

What are your thoughts on Professor Tian's acceptance speech?

"..."

"Director Tian, ​​how much did you sell the copyright for 'The Undertaker' for?"

The reporters' questions were varied and all went straight to the point.
Bringing a large group has its advantages; you won't be forcibly blocked by reporters for interviews.

Tian Xiaole didn't get a chance for an interview and got directly into the car that came to pick her up.

Soon after, news of Tian Xiaole's return to China was reported.

At the same time, news from Hollywood media was reposted, and the entertainment industry suddenly became lively.

There are many different speculations.

There are rumors that Tian Xiaole is going to Hollywood to film a blockbuster movie.

Some say they just want to watch the post-production of the movie.

But a rumor circulated, and it was told in such a detailed and convincing way that people in the industry believed it to be true.

"Director Tian Xiaole has reached a new project cooperation with Fox to film Marvel superhero IPs with a budget of 60 million US dollars."

This has caused an uproar in the entertainment industry.

Especially the actors under Xiaole Pictures, their eyes were all gleaming with greed.

If we're talking about opportunities, they definitely have the best chance.

Soon, while Tian Xiaole was still on her way home, she received her first phone call, from Yang Mi.

I thought they were here to ask for a role, but they weren't.

"Brother Le, I'm willing to take on all the press releases that have been asked of me lately."

Hearing this, Tian Xiaole didn't know what to say. Had he really fallen for money?

Because of the immense popularity of "Palace," she received numerous offers for endorsements and commercial performances, with decent prices, but the quality varied greatly.

Tian Xiaole had instructed Chen Zhixi to have Yang Mi choose some well-known brands to collaborate with in order to protect her reputation.

But Yang Mi doesn't think that way; she wants to make as much money as possible next.

She continued, "I haven't earned much money before, and I want to buy a better house for my family."

Since that's what they've said, Tian Xiaole couldn't stop them any longer: "It's up to you, but the brands you endorse need to do their due diligence. If you want to make money, you need to protect your reputation."

"Yes, I know, thank you, Brother Le."

Then, Yang Mi changed the subject, and what was bound to happen finally did:
"Brother Le, is your collaboration with Fox really true?"

"Really, don't get your hopes up. There are no Chinese characters in this movie."

Deadpool is a character who is talkative, vulgar, and always spouting nonsense.

Whether they are heroes or villains, in anime depictions they are always insulted and then brutally beaten.

Adding a Chinese character to the Joker is completely unnecessary.

The script written by Tian Xiaole will remain unchanged; it will simply follow the animation.

To reiterate, the main focus is on nurturing Guo Fan.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Zhixi watched as Tian Xiaole hung up the phone before turning around to report on her work:

"With 'Brotherhood of Blades' grossing 2.27 million yuan, should we throw a celebration banquet for Lu Yang?"

"Go ahead and do it, this result is quite good."

Guo Fan and Gao Qunshu have both done it before, so it wouldn't be right not to do it here.

And the movie made money.

"Notify Guo Fan to come to the company to see me tomorrow and take me home first."

"Okay, boss."

Tian Xiaole's plan to train directors is not just talk; he already has a plan for Guo Fan, but it's a bit more difficult for Lu Yang.

Martial arts films have been developed to their fullest extent.

Even Tsui Hark's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is touting its 3D capabilities.

As for Gao Qunshu, she is already quite old and has her own established style.

Chen Sicheng could be trained, but he's not with Xiaole Pictures. (End of Chapter)
