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

Chapter 63: It’s time to reap the rewards of your hard work!

“How’s the movie schedule?”

Seeing the assistant coming in to report on his work, Tian Xiaole asked.

"We secured 40% of the screenings."

"Yeah, that's alright."

[New Police Story] is a co-production, with China Film Corporation accounting for the majority of the production, and Chen Long is still capable.

In the first week of its release, the box office earned 2800 million yuan, and the screening schedule has hardly been reduced.

Wong Kar-wai's fame, along with the presence of big-name actors like Zhang Ziyi, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung, and Carina Lau, also helped [2046] secure a lot of screenings.

The reason why [Bouquet] was able to get such a high price is due to the fact that it was directed by Tian Xiaole, and also because they wanted to promote their own directors from the mainland.

Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" was a disaster. Although the film had a good idea and the official media helped promote it, it had the lowest screening rate, only 11%.

On the first day of National Day, "Bouquet" was released amidst everyone's anticipation.

As a film shot by Tian Xiaole as a quick shooter, and also the first commercial film released after winning the award, many people are looking forward to its results.

What I care about most are the filmmakers in Hong Kong.

Which big director in the mainland doesn't use Hong Kong actors? You are the exception, right?

The biggest problem is that the consensus that was carefully crafted, that only Hong Kong actors can carry the box office, was repeatedly punctured by Tian Xiaole.

Tian Xiaole was browsing the news on Leyu.com. Many netizens in the square were sharing the real-time situation of the cinema, and some netizens even uploaded pictures from the scene.

[Bouquet] The theater was crowded with people.

Thanks to the early publicity and promotion, movie fans are very enthusiastic about watching the movie, and it is also an urban romance film that young people like to watch.

The phone on the table rang. It was Wang Luodan calling.

"Brother, the online reputation is very good, so the box office shouldn't be low, right?"

"Let's wait until tomorrow, the box office will be released."

Wang Luodan has been very excited recently. Seeing Tang Yan busy with advertisements and magazine shoots, she is extremely envious.

A sophomore in an ordinary acting class, he suddenly became a third-tier actor in the entertainment industry.

I haven't suffered any hardship on the road to success. At most, I ate some salty and fishy things, and I achieved success so easily.

Wang Luodan also aspires to become a shining star.

The filming of "Hidden in the Dust", which took more than two months, has been completed.

Lao Tian and Gong Li are both experiential actors, and their integration into the characters and understanding of the roles have reached a certain level.

The post-production of the film was done by Xiaole Pictures.

Looking at Old Tian, ​​who had become much darker, Tian Xiaole couldn't help but joked, "Old Tian, ​​if you go back like this, you'll probably scare the old lady."

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at his scorched skin and his fingers full of dirt, looking like an old farmer who had dedicated his entire life to his two acres and three mu of land.

"We've been through tougher times, so this is nothing."

Lao Tian blew out smoke rings from his mouth. It was indeed as he said, the filming conditions for the fifth generation directors at that time were much more difficult than they are now.

"Have you considered going to that film festival?" Tian Xiaole asked.

"It's definitely too late for this year's Venice. Registration for the Berlin International Film Festival, which opens in February next year, closes in mid-November. So I'll have to choose between Cannes and Venice next year."

Old Tian took a puff of his cigarette and told the truth.

"Although Cannes has the most attention, its film selection is very strict. Berlin tends to favor political themes. I suggest you go to Venice. With Mark as the selection director, there's no doubt your film will be shortlisted."

"So after all this talk, you don't think I can be shortlisted, right?" Old Tian scolded with a smile.

"I'm just being on the safe side. As your debut work, it has to be a blockbuster." Tian Xiaole said with a smile.

The bigger the award, the higher the copyright fee, and it also provides an explanation to the investors.

"Let's talk about it after the post-production editing is done." Old Tian put out his cigarette and frowned.

Mark Mueller is his old classmate, who is passionate about "Chinese narrative films about suffering". Since 89, he has promoted many Chinese-language films, which have been shortlisted for the main competition unit of Venice.

Both Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke reaped the benefits.

Later, in order to cater to their preferences, the film "A Touch of Sin" strengthened the coal mine explosion scenes in order to win awards.

This has caused a lot of criticism in the country, and it is clear that it is an attempt to curry favor with the powerful and cater to people's preferences.

"Stare~"

Tian Xiaole received the message on his phone. He took a look and said to Lao Tian:

"You can use the editing room as you like. Ning Hao is also editing a film next door. You can always find time to go over and give him some pointers."

"Well, let's talk about it when we have time."

Old Tian looked at the brand new equipment and couldn't let go of them. It had been a long time since he had fought such a prosperous battle.

In a hotel.

Wang Luodan was very excited after finishing the promotion. For the first time, he enjoyed being surrounded by the media and hearing the cheers of fans.

She invited Tian Xiaole, wanting to be the first to know the box office news for tomorrow's movie.

"Brother, many people praised me and said that you took beautiful photos of me."

Wang Luodan lurked in their Penguin group, watching her classmates openly envy and flatter her. She enjoyed this sense of vanity.

When Huang Shengyi starred in "Supermarket", she was also one of the members.

Now, she has become the envy of her classmates!
No matter how good your acting skills are, you still have to learn to seize opportunities.

At this moment, she is holding the "opportunity" in her hands.

"So, you called me here just to watch you show off?"

Tian Xiaole lay on the soft bed, his hands supporting his head, urging, "Please start your performance."

Wang Luodan put away his phone and gave her a French kiss, the kind that could make your lips stretch.

after the end.

Squat down.

Before he could react.

Tian Xiaole's big toe was sucked into Donghuang Taiyi's mouth.

Anyone who has played Honor of Kings knows that once you are sucked in, you cannot move. You will have a chance to fight back only after the situation is over.

Xiao Wang is very good at it, sucking back and forth.

Like drinking a row of Wahaha.

After taking care of this one, I moved on to another one.

the next morning.

Tian Xiaole hadn't woken up yet, but Wang Luodan had already packed up and was ready to welcome the box office success of her first starring movie in her life.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz~"

The phone vibrates!
Seeing the caller's note, Wang Luodan knew it was Han Sanping calling, so he didn't dare to answer.

"Brother, Director Han called you!"

"Well, pass it to me."

Tian Xiaole rubbed his eyes and answered the phone: "Hello, Uncle Han?"

"Xiao Le, [Flowers] box office reached 873 million yesterday, which is a very good result."

After hearing the box office figures, Tian Xiaole suddenly came to his senses.

[Heart Labyrinth] is a literary suspense film, which grossed over 7 million on the first day. Urban romance films should have a wider audience, so it shouldn't have earned this little.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, it makes sense.

[Maze of the Heart] won an award and was marketed for over two months, so it’s understandable that it had a high box office.

[Bouquet] The competitors of the same period were Chen Long, Wang Jiawei and others, and the market was diverted away.

The good news calls from Guangguang and Huayi came one after another, as if they had been scheduled.

Tian Xiaole listened to the first day box office results three times.

Wang Luodan covered her mouth, opened her eyes wide, and didn't even dare to shout out in excitement.

From today onwards, she is also a big star.

In addition to envying Huang Shengyi, classmates also envy her.

Just as Tian Xiaole put down the phone, a figure rushed towards him. It was Wang Luodan, who was trembling with excitement.

Obviously, in this situation, she needs to be calmed down.

He pressed on the balcony window to let her breathe fresh air, but at the same time, he was afraid that she would get too excited, so he could only push hard from behind to relieve her anxious body.

Soon, in just an hour, the disease was cured.

Tian Xiaole smoked a cigarette and looked out the hotel window at the booming capital.

He is so young, he should focus on his career and the pursuit of film art instead of indulging in women.

Sex is a knife that scrapes bones, so it should be used in moderation.

After sending away the elated Wang Luodan, Tian Xiaole packed up and went back to the company first.

I took a look at the film reviews on Leyu.com, and they were all pretending to be sentimental and reminiscing about past regrets.

"Whenever it rains, I still think of you, Swallow, how are you?"

"The waving scene at the end made me cry my eyes out. It was just like the respect we showed each other when we were young."

"I watched it with a smile the whole time. Regrets are the norm in life. Adult love is only about money, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."

"Where's the sweet romance you promised me? Come out here and die, you bastard!"

Overall, positive reviews account for the majority and the audience is also wide.

Tian Xiaole used his own verified account to post a message in response to netizens who thought it was a sweet love story but did not expect the truth to be a sharp knife.

"Love is like flowers, it will eventually wither!"

Now, there are even more comments saying “Swallow, I miss you”.
