Deadpool is about to start filming.
Tian Xiaole is planning to go there to support Guo Fan; he has urged him to do so several times.
From the moment he took over the project, the doubts ceased, and many people were waiting to see him fail.
Even local directors struggle to adapt Marvel IPs, so they've hired a Chinese director, especially a newcomer, to helm the project.
Original book fans are criticizing it, and Marvel fans are also criticizing it.
Fox is under immense pressure, but he is completely trusting Tian Xiaole to continue the magic.
"Xin Xin, Daddy's going to America. Can you stay at Grandpa's house and wait for Mommy?"
"No, I want to go too. I want to go and defeat the American empire."
With her chubby little face, Xiao Tianxin spoke very seriously.
After saying that, he hugged Tian Xiaole's leg tightly and wouldn't let go.
Tian Xiaole was speechless.
Where did they learn these slogans from?
Suddenly it dawned on me that Tang's father was a proud teacher, the kind who hadn't been brainwashed.
"Then let's go together, but you must obey and wait for my orders to act."
"Okay~"
The little guy happily raised his little hand.
···
Amidst the reluctant gazes of her in-laws, Tian Xiaole took Xiaotian Xin to America.
The group consisted of about ten people, including bodyguards, assistants, and nannies.
For the sake of privacy, Tian Xiaole, being very wealthy, simply rented a plane.
The flight, which lasted more than ten hours, was not boring at all, and passed quickly amidst Xiaotianxin's antics.
Upon landing at Los Angeles Airport, James, as always, came to pick him up, demonstrating his loyalty at all times.
When he saw Tian Xiaole and his group come out, he wanted to go up and give them a welcome hug, but he immediately noticed Xiao Tianxin next to him.
He recalled Tang Yan, who was pregnant in Beverly Hills a few years ago:
"This little princess must have escaped from Disneyland!"
Tian Xiaole was already used to James being praised, and introduced him as follows:
“This is my daughter, Tian Xin, you’ve met her before.”
Jump.
James knelt down on one knee, imagining himself as a knight kissing the princess's hand.
Xiao Tianxin didn't cooperate and quickly pulled her hand back, hiding behind Tian Xiaole.
"Dad, this uncle is so strange."
"Ha ha……"
James was taken aback and gave an awkward laugh.
The little incident passed quickly.
The group boarded the car and drove in a grand procession towards Beverly Hills Manor.
The commotion caused here had already been noticed by tourists from all over the world.
They couldn't help but wonder which important person was making such a grand entrance.
"Boss, the opening ceremony for Deadpool is scheduled to be held at the Chinese Theatre. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Upon arriving at the manor, considering that Tian Xiaole and her group were tired from their journey and needed to rest, they decided to take a break.
James did not give a work report and took his leave.
···
Xiao Tianxin is very energetic, and when she learned that she was born here, she became even more curious about everything.
The assistant took her and let her play happily in the garden.
Tian Xiaole was on the phone with Tang Yan, who, upon learning of the itinerary, insisted on coming over.
"Brother Le, I'm coming to join you guys."
"Didn't you just arrive in Europe? Why don't you stay a couple more days?"
Tang Yan, accompanied by Gong Li, had a blast.
Tian Xiaole guessed that it was Gong Li's idea, since the latter is currently all alone and wants to find someone to keep her company.
As for Liu Yifei and Fan Binbin, the former returned to China to film "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen," while the latter won the Best Actress award in Tokyo for "Buddha Mountain," which is about to be released.
I miss you and Xin Xin.
Tang Yan's words made Gong Li, a single person, envious, and she said irritably:
"You're such a homebody, can you please be considerate of me?"
"Haha, Sister Li, you should find someone too. You've been single for so long, you'll get rusty if you don't use it."
As a young married woman, Tang Yan's mouth was full of vulgar and offensive language.
"Tangtang... watch me tear your mouth apart."
Hearing the playful banter on the other end of the phone, Tian Xiaole said, "I'll wait for you here," and hung up.
The two of them were really outspoken; he didn't dare listen any further.
The young woman is terrifying!
···
The next day, at the Chinese Grand Theatre.
Fox took the Deadpool project very seriously and invited dozens of media outlets to the event.
They were skeptical of Guo Fan and were prepared to watch Fox make a fool of itself.
Marvel IPs are not easy to adapt; very few can be accepted by the original fans and also achieve high box office returns.
The only ones that can be considered truly successful are the Iron Man and Spider-Man series.
Other adapted IPs have lagged behind in terms of influence and box office performance.
Before Tian Xiaole's "miraculous" abilities were proven wrong, the media could only offer a few words of praise.
There's simply no point in criticizing it.
But they always manage to find a novel angle, creating headlines that are quite alarming: Chinese directors are landing in Hollywood.
Guo Fan kept scanning the entrance, and his eyes lit up when he saw Tian Xiaole arrive.
Finally, a powerful backer has arrived.
I felt confident standing on the stage, and I wasn't so insecure anymore.
"Tian, thank you for your recommendation. It was through this recommendation that I had the opportunity to play this role."
Looking at the smiling Ryan, Tian Xiaole couldn't tell that he had just gotten divorced.
That makes sense, though; he's currently unlucky in love but successful in his career.
"This role suits you very well, play it well."
Tian Xiaole patted him on the shoulder and instructed him, "Although I am the producer, I won't be on set often. You need to cooperate more with the director."
"Don't worry, I will."
···
There's not much to say about the opening ceremony; the media present had all been courted by Fox News, and their questions were quite friendly.
Before leaving, Tian Xiaole found Guo Fan and told him to go all out and film.
Just tell the whole story; don't worry about the post-production special effects, Fox will take care of that.
"Senior brother, don't really ignore me. Come visit the set more often and give me your feedback."
"Okay, focus on making the movie. Don't go back to China to participate in the promotion of 'The Witch'."
"Oh, is it okay if I, as the director, don't participate?"
"As long as I say yes."
Guo Fan nodded; what else could he say?
He could only focus entirely on filming Deadpool, and he was worried that going back to China for promotion would affect the progress of the project.
···
Domestically, Chen Zhixi had just left China Film Group when she announced several films scheduled for release during the summer season.
"【The Founding of a Republic】, a historical drama film, is scheduled for release on June 15th!"
Produced by Xiaole Pictures and directed by Guo Fan, "The Witch" is scheduled for release on July 1st!
"Produced by Stellar Media and directed by Chen Kexing, the martial arts film is set to release on July 4th!"
"The imported blockbuster, Transformers 3, is set to release on July 21st!"
"..."
Of the several films announced, these four are the most noteworthy.
The film industry has already sensed the intense tension.
As Han Sanping had hoped, the Chinese film market has entered an era of big-name directors and blockbuster films.
Based on the annual growth rate, this year's total box office may surpass that of "Little Days" (a popular Chinese film market), becoming the second largest film market.
Keen-eyed viewers noticed that the release dates of "The Witch" and "Wu Xia" were only 3 days apart.
Many people recalled that among the Hong Kong directors that Tin Siu-lok had previously named, Chan Ho-hing was one of them.
Anyone who knows Tian Xiaole knows he's petty and vindictive. Judging by the release dates of the two films, this is clearly a blatant attack on Chen Kexing.
Fans are raving about it; they love watching Tian Xiaole roast people.
The media, always eager for drama, immediately made the relationship clear.
One is a renowned director from Hong Kong, and the other is the youngest director in China with both Golden Horse and Golden Bell Awards.
"Director Tian Xiaole has publicly criticized director Chen Kexing for ripping people off and producing shoddy work..."
"Will 'The Witch' continue the legacy? Produced by Xiaole Pictures, it's bound to be a masterpiece, or will 'Wuxia' prove itself?"
···
Tian Xiaole, far away in the United States, was unaware of the excitement in China; "The Witch" had already been scheduled for release during the summer vacation.
"Dad, you're back! You never take me with you when you go out to play. I'm not going to be friends with you anymore."
Upon seeing Tian Xiaole enter, Xiao Tianxin crossed her arms, pouted, and looked like she needed to coax her.
"Oh dear, who's the one who can't get up in the morning, acting like a lazy pig?"
"I'm not like that, don't say it anymore."
Xiao Tianxin panicked and pounced on Tian Xiaole, trying to cover his mouth.
"Dad's not going to say anything more. Let's go see what we're having for lunch."
Tian Xiaole picked up the little one and walked towards the restaurant.
"Dad, let's go out and play this afternoon."
Xiao Tianxin wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder: "We went to the beach. I saw it when we came."
"Alright, whatever you say."
Tian Xiaole pinched the little guy's chubby cheeks.
···
In the afternoon, Tian Xiaole originally planned to take Xiaotian Xin to Santa Monica Beach.
However, considering that tourists and locals at the beach are dressed rather revealingly, the trip was cancelled.
To calm the restless little one, we drove half an hour to Disneyland.
It opened in 01, and its facilities are now very mature. You can see all the Disney IP series here.
There's a saying that goes, Disney doesn't make movies and TV shows for box office revenue, but to better promote its parks.
Tickets and related merchandise are where the real profits come from.
This kind of valuable corporate IP is what Xiaole Pictures should learn from.
"Dad, I want to sit on that one."
Xiao Tianxin pointed at the carousel, her eyes sparkling. She probably forgot all about the promise to overthrow American imperialism.
"Okay, let's sit over there."
Tian Xiaole wore a mask, making some simple attempts to conceal her identity.
Their every move was captured by a man wearing a baseball cap and a camera around his neck not far away.
He was a journalist who came to Disneyland with his family, but he never expected to be able to photograph such a big fish there.
He knew Tian Xiaole; he had just attended the opening ceremony of "Deadpool" that morning.
There have never been any romantic scandals between them, and I never imagined their child would be so grown up.
Disneyland was crowded, and many parents were taking pictures of their children, which prevented the bodyguards from noticing that they were being photographed without their knowledge.
···
On the way back to the city, Xiao Tianxin fell asleep in the back seat.
Tian Xiaole took off her coat and covered the little guy with it, then affectionately pinched his chubby little face.
Back home, Tian Xiaole carefully took Xiao Tianxin out of the car so as not to wake him.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Tian Xiaole was woken up by noise.
"Boss, something terrible has happened! Xin Xin has been exposed."
The assistant rushed into Tian Xiaole's bedroom without even knocking, holding a newspaper in her hand.
"What did you say?"
"A Hollywood newspaper published photos of you and Xin Xin at Disneyland yesterday."
The assistant handed the newspaper to Tian Xiaole while observing the latter's expression.
Ultimately, this matter stemmed from their negligence.
Tian Xiaole grabbed the newspaper, found the article, and her face immediately turned ugly.
Breaking news! Chinese director Tian Xiaole has a daughter; he showed his fatherly love while visiting Disneyland; the mother's identity is unknown...
"It is said that Tian Xiaole, who presents himself as single, has a daughter who is actually 4 or 5 years old..."
···
Tian Xiaole crumpled the newspaper into a ball, her face gloomy.
The Hollywood media are relentless and have no bottom line; they even leaked photos of Kaoru Oda's face.
“I’ll hire a professional lawyer and sue this newspaper on the grounds of violating the privacy of minors.”
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and quickly disappeared from Tian Xiaole's sight, his face barely touching his brow.
It's clear that he was in an extremely bad mood.
Tian Xiaole knew very well that suing these gossip media outlets would be useless, especially the Star Daily, which was famous for its scandals, breakups, and pregnancies.
On second thought, let it be exposed. With such a large family business, it was bound to come to the forefront sooner or later.
After thinking about it this way, Tian Xiaole's mood wasn't so bad anymore.
However, at this point, Tang Yan didn't need to come over.
Otherwise, astute netizens would connect the dots to her.
If it were before Liu Shishi got pregnant, it wouldn't matter.
As for now, we still need to consider our feelings to avoid being labeled as a jerk.
Before Tian Xiaole could even look for Tang Yan, she called first.
"Brother Le, have you seen the trending topics? You and Xin Xin are in the news."
There was a hint of excitement in her voice.
The child has been exposed to the light!
Is she far from becoming a mother?
"I've seen it, and it's already being processed."
Tian Xiaole, dressed in pajamas, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at Hollywood Boulevard.
"You don't need to come over, lest you get spotted by paparazzi."
Hearing this, Tang Yan felt a little disappointed. She regretted that her biological mother couldn't appear on camera with her daughter.
However, she was mostly happy, as she had taken another big step forward.
The day when she appears before the public as Mrs. Tian is not far off.
···
It was already late at night in China at this time.
When the staff on duty at various newspapers received the message from their colleagues stationed in Hollywood, they instinctively thought they were seeing things.
"Director Tian Xiaole has a child, and the child is already 4 or 5 years old?"
They all wanted to confirm whether the Tian Xiaole they were talking about was the Tian Xiaole they knew.
"What are you doing?"
"I want to verify the authenticity of this information!"
"By the time you've confirmed it, someone else will have already beaten you to it."
Upon hearing his colleague's words, the reporter initially nodded subconsciously, but then quickly realized that he should publish the news first.
Meanwhile, other media outlets share the same view.
Not a moment later.
It's all over the major websites.
At first, netizens didn't believe it, but seeing the increasing number of entries, they had no choice but to believe it.
Shocking! Director Tian Xiaole is pregnant, mother unknown!
"It is reported that director Tian Xiaole visited Disneyland with his beloved daughter, and the former looked at her with doting eyes!"
According to Hollywood media reports, director Tian Xiaole was spotted visiting Disneyland with a young child, who is suspected to be his daughter!
"Breaking news! Director Tian Xiaole, who has always presented himself as single, has actually given birth to a daughter out of wedlock. Many female stars in the entertainment industry are lamenting and losing their chance to rise to the top."
"..."
···
Media reports and netizens seem to be just watching the drama unfold, not caring about the child but rather curious about the child's mother.
There are so many female celebrities in the entertainment industry, and countless others want to get into Tian Xiaole's bed. I wonder who got there first.
They started with a direct lead of one child!
At this moment, those in the industry who saw the news were so shocked that their mouths were agape, completely unable to believe it.
Especially those female celebrities with whom I've had in-depth conversations, they always take such good precautions.
Did that sly fox manage to snag a bargain? (End of Chapter)
