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

Chapter 6 In the Cinema
"Brother, do you want to go to the movies together?"

Huang Shengyi held the clothes from last time in his hand, with anticipation in his eyes, and spoke in a crisp voice.

Tian Xiaole looked at the innocent girl in front of him, with fuzz around her lips, and thought that he had been in the editing room for several days, so it would be good to change his mind.

"Sure, I have time this afternoon."

"Then I'll wait for you at the school gate."

Huang Shengyi smiled, stuffed the clothes over, and ran away happily.

Looking at the figure running away and smelling the fragrance coming from the clothes, Tian Xiaole had already sealed his heart and was not moved at all after having been used and abandoned in his previous life.

···
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tian Xiaole just walked to the school gate and saw Huang Shengyi wearing a yellow chrysanthemum skirt not far away.

She held two bottles of water in her hands and had on the innocent makeup she wore in the play, looking very deceptive like a little lamb. She knew this was her advantage.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

"No, I just got here too. Here, here's some water."

Huang Shengyi handed over the water with a smile on his face. Tian Xiaole took it and the two walked side by side towards the nearby cinema.

"Brother, how's the film editing going?"

“Once the rough cut is done and the fine cut is OK, we can decide on the final version.”

"What is fine cutting?"

Huang Shengyi was like a curious baby, blinking his big, expressive eyes and asking endless questions.

Tian Xiaole also dealt with it impatiently, and the two of them chatted idly.

At the entrance of the cinema, the movie "Hero" has already been released, and a precedent has been set for purchasing tickets with ID cards. Some cinemas even require body searches before entry. All of this is to prevent piracy and leaks.

As soon as the movie was released, it broke many records and the domestic box office has exceeded 100 million.
It successfully launched a trend of domestic commercial films, and many big directors began to transform.

The two also chose to watch this movie. Although many so-called film critics criticized the monotonous plot and simple story, the film's use of large scenes and colors was impeccable.

Zhang Yimou is a photographer who turned director, and Tian Xiaole is also a photographer, but he is more experienced, with decades of experience in the film industry, and his success is just around the corner.

Tian Xiaole was just fantasizing when the lights in the theater dimmed and the movie started playing on the big screen.

Since the seat they chose was relatively far back, Huang Shengyi bought a bucket of popcorn and placed it between the two seats. When Tian Xiaole went to get the popcorn, their hands would touch each other from time to time.

The former shrank back as if electrocuted, while the latter just smiled and continued playing the game.

The theater audiences all stared at the big screen, watching a domestic blockbuster for the first time and exclaimed in amazement from time to time.

Only Tian Xiaole was not interested. He had watched the movie countless times. When Huang Shengyi was taking the popcorn, he just reached out his hand.

Tian Xiaole was too lazy to test it, so he just pinched her hand and played with it. She didn't resist and pretended to be pitiful and sympathetic.

If you didn't know her true nature, you would really think she was worthy of pity.

Tian Xiaole ignored him and increased the strength of his hands.

"Brother, how about watching a movie..."

Huang Shengyi's tone sounded pleading, but he didn't refuse and even moved his legs closer.

"Looking, looking!"

Tian Xiaole responded perfunctorily, but his hands were not idle.

The heavy exhalation caught the attention of the person next to him. He took a look and then looked away, giving a look that all men understood.

After the movie finally ended, Huang Shengyi took Tian Xiaole's hand and ran out of the cinema early, leaving a puddle of water on the seat.

"Junior Sister Huang, there's no need to be so anxious."

"Brother, I feel sick in my stomach. I'm going back to school first."

After Huang Shengyi finished speaking, he hailed a taxi on the side of the road and got in without looking back.

Tian Xiaole didn't stop it, he thought it was quite interesting. It was a common trick to play tricks and not release the eagle until the rabbit is seen.

Who among those who can get into the film academy is a simple person? Those with simple minds will eventually fail in the big dye vat that is the film and television industry.

Finally gave up the acting industry and sought another way out!

Whether it is Yan Ni or Huang Shengyi, they were able to direct movies independently when Tian Xiaole was still a student.

Blindly flattering and hinting is also a kind of investment. Before the film is successful, I will probably still pretend to be reserved. Looking at the car driving away, Tian Xiaole smiled meaningfully, found a restaurant to fill his stomach, and then leisurely returned to school.

The film editing is done by several senior brothers, so he just needs to take a look from time to time and doesn't have to worry too much.

By December, the school was on vacation and there were not many people around. The seniors in the editing room had also completed the final film.

Tian Xiaole used the remaining funds to give each person a big red envelope as overtime pay.

When Tian Zhuangzhuang heard that the film was completed, he found a screening room and played the film.

Although the movie only has one scene, there is a reversal every few minutes, and with a running time of 90 minutes, it does not seem boring.

When the film ended, Tian Zhuangzhuang applauded first, nodded with satisfaction, and praised:
"It was well filmed, the story was told very fully, and the colors were beautiful."

Tian Xiaole nodded obediently, appearing very humble.

However, the brothers who came to help seemed less calm and were hugging each other excitedly.

"When will the film be released? What day will it be released on?"

"It's the Lunar New Year holiday!"

Today's Lunar New Year movie season is not as packed with blockbusters as in later generations. Only Feng Xiaogang's "Cell Phone" and Johnnie To's "Happily Ever After" are worth paying attention to.

Seeing that Tian Xiaole had already chosen the date, Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything and just took the film and left.

Tian Xiaole is still an unknown person now and can only rely on Lao Tian to take the lead. After the film is released and achieves success, he will no longer be an unknown sapling.

···
On December 15, [Cell Phone] held a grand premiere. The event was grand and star-studded.

Famous directors and top actors and stars in the film and television circles have all come to show their support. Huayi is now at the peak of its popularity.

Tian Xiaole looked at the news reports. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious of such a grand premiere for the movie. Anyway, let's take it one step at a time and there's no rush.

If Lao Tian really took action, he would definitely be able to invite more celebrities and directors, but there is no need. Nuclear weapons exist to deter villains, and it would be boring to use them frequently.

On the 18th, [Cell Phone] was released nationwide. Feng Xiaogang's Feng-style comedy has a strong appeal during the Lunar New Year period.

The box office revenue for the first three days was 1437 million, which is an extremely impressive result in the film market. Not every movie is a blockbuster with huge investment like "Hero".

Huang Shengyi once again invited Tian Xiaole to go see it together. Last time she went back, she thought that she left too suddenly and her senior brother might think too much.

The reason given this time was also very substantiated, under the euphemism of testing the truth.

[Supermarket] is scheduled to be released on January 10th, which coincides with the final release of [Cell Phone]. The main actors have been notified and given time to prepare for the roadshow.

Tian Xiaole did not refuse the invitation. There were fewer entertainment activities in this era, and it would be nice to play with his junior sister.

It was the same cinema as last time, and he only bought a bucket of popcorn. The difference was that Huang Shengyi was wearing a pair of tight jeans, which clearly showed off his long legs.

The lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and the audience in the theater began to focus their attention on the big screen.

Huang Shengyi looked over curiously. She was surprised at why her senior brother was so serious today. Did he not like his outfit? Or was it inconvenient for him to reach out?

She deliberately moved her legs closer, pretending that they accidentally touched each other while holding popcorn.

Seeing how interesting she was, Tian Xiaole didn't intend to keep his hands idle either. The jeans hugged her thighs tightly, and they felt so tight to his hands.

Huang Shengyi's face flushed, her eyes were seductive, and she was shy but also enjoying the pleasure.

She wanted to get close to Tian Xiaole so much, and even took the initiative to approach him, just because he and his graduate supervisor Tian Zhuangzhuang had the same surname, Tian, ​​and they looked quite similar. No one would believe her if she said they had no relationship.

Needless to say, Tian Zhuangzhuang's status in the Beijing circle is very high. His father, Tian Fang, is the first director of China Film Studio.

Although he has passed away, the directors he has promoted and the comrades he has worked with have become deeply rooted after two generations of development.

His mother was the first director of the China Children's Factory and is still alive. Every year, countless directors and film practitioners come to her to wish her a happy new year.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is also an excellent director, and now that the ban has been lifted, he can form a crew at any time as long as he is willing.

As such a core figure in the Beijing circle, as long as Tian Xiaole has a slight connection with him, he will definitely have smooth sailing in the film industry.

When she was on the crew, she felt the same idea as Yan Ni, so she was quite hostile. It was not until the film was completed that she showed a smile of victory.

Who is stupid enough to get into film school? Of course, you should seize this opportunity. It's better than having to find a director decades older than you after graduation to get the opportunity.

Huang Shengyi saw that Tian Xiaole was uncomfortable with his hands stretched out, so he moved his legs closer.
