Huayu: I was immediately ensnared by Jing Tian as soon as I entered the industry.

Chapter 102 Liu Shishi Makes a Certain Decision

"Tian Tian, ​​you're letting the director focus on your scenes, are you going to run away again?"

Zhao Shanshan looked at Jing Tian warily. Suddenly asking the director to prioritize filming her scenes suggested that she might be planning to run away again.

Jing Tian blinked guiltily. Her two abrupt departures without saying goodbye had made Zhao Shanshan quite uneasy.

Now, her team treats her like a thief, worried that she'll run away again.

Especially the assistant who hasn't been fired yet, who follows the young lady around like a shadow all day long, never daring to let her out of his sight for a moment.

Jing Tian explained helplessly, "I just want to finish filming this drama as soon as possible so I can act in Brother Xuan's movie."

"Wang Xuan wrote a script for you? What kind of script?" Zhao Shanshan asked hurriedly.

The young lady has no shortage of resources, but she lacks high-quality resources. Despite her dazzling career, she has no connections in the film and television industry, and the scripts she obtains by spending money can only be considered above average.

Without a doubt, the script provided by Wang Xuan was absolutely top-notch.

"Brother Xuan tailored this for me; the subject matter doesn't matter."

Jing Tian felt a sweet warmth in her heart and was already looking forward to it.

Living a carefree and uninhibited life on set sounds wonderful.

"Oh, I see! So it's going to be filmed in Hollywood?"

As soon as she said those words, Zhao Shanshan felt it was a bit of a pipe dream.

Wang Xuan hasn't even established himself in Hollywood yet, how could he possibly bring the young lady there?

Moreover, there are very few Chinese actresses who can establish themselves in Hollywood, and they are all talented actresses and award winners.

Even if Wang Xuan succeeds this time and gains some influence, casting the young lady as the female lead will likely result in the movie flopping.

"Brother Xuan didn't say anything, but if you really asked me to act in a Hollywood movie, I would refuse, for fear of dragging down the box office."

Jing Tian is very clear-headed and aware of her own acting skills. She doesn't want to become a burden to Wang Xuan, whose career is just starting to take off.

"Sister Shan, please ask the director to be more efficient. I want to finish filming my scenes before Brother Xuan returns to China."

"Okay, I'll go talk to them."

"Shi Shi, filming for 'The Legend of the White Snake: The Sequel' will start at the end of the month. It's a shame to put you in the second female lead role."

Cai Yinong took Liu Shishi's hand and said with a helpless tone, "The female lead is from Berna. I can't help you even if I want to. They have connections in the Beijing circle and a wide network of contacts."

"Sister Cai, I'm fine. I'm already very content to have a role to play."

Liu Shishi smiled. She wasn't some big star who wouldn't take on any role other than the lead.

Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong couldn't help but frown. Liu Shishi was an artist she was grooming for the future top star of Sugar Man; she couldn't afford to be unambitious.

She changed the subject, seemingly unintentionally saying, "Wang Xuan is really generous, actually giving up his chance to go to Hollywood to his classmate."

"Shi Shi, do you know what the relationship is between Chai Biyun and Wang Xuan?"

Cai Yinong stared into Liu Shishi's eyes, trying to find some clues. But she was disappointed; Liu Shishi shook her head, appearing indifferent.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Cai Yinong's eyes lit up; there was hope. She then said earnestly, "I warned you before that the entertainment industry is a big melting pot where people's hearts are fickle."

This Chai Biyun probably got this opportunity by sleeping with Wang Xuan. These directors in China, cheating is...

"Sister Cai, you're not allowed to talk about my master like that. I believe she's not that kind of person."

Seeing Liu Shishi's serious expression, as if she wasn't even afraid of her boss, Cai Yinong said irritably, "You'd rather give the opportunity to a female classmate than to your apprentice?"

"You're so stubborn. Don't wait until a bunch of 'master's wives' appear; then you'll know what regret is."

Cai Yinong wants Liu Shishi to maintain this connection, as the sugar man needs this relationship even more.

Hugo had previously expressed dissatisfaction with the resources, but out of consideration for the people he had helped during the car accident, he had not mentioned it again.

But Cai Yinong knew very well that Hu Ge was already a top actor in television dramas and needed to move into the film industry.

This requires connections with a top director.

Liu Shishi looked a little upset. She wanted to maintain their pure teacher-student relationship, but the thought of other female celebrities scheming against Wang Xuan made her feel uneasy.

Perhaps, this feeling should change.

Seeing Liu Shishi's constantly changing expression, Cai Yinong had achieved her goal and stopped trying to provoke her.

Wang Xuan, far away in Hollywood, was unaware that Chai Biyun's appearance had led to much speculation about their relationship.

Even if they did find out, they would still criticize these domestic directors for ruining the industry's reputation.

He has some resources and likes to sexually harass female celebrities, making the entertainment industry a mess.

[Human] was released in theaters across the United States in the early hours of May 10th, North American time.

With 1240 screens showing the film simultaneously, it enjoys the same screening privileges as a top-tier horror movie.

The box office performance in the first three days is crucial, as it determines the subsequent resource allocation for the film.

Lionsgate and Wang Xuan weren't the only ones eyeing the movie data; Harvey, that fatso, was too.

I used to think Wang Xuan could only write art-house scripts. If I had known he was also good at horror films, I wouldn't have only collaborated on award-winning films.

"Boss, Lionsgate's survey results are out, and they're a bit unexpected."

Frank handed a report to Wang Xuan, who then flipped through it.

[Human] received an overall rating of C, which is within the normal range for horror films.

However, the audience profile section was a bit unexpected for Wang Xuan. Young women accounted for 56% of the audience, and they were mostly from ethnic minorities.

Regarding the script's content, most people expressed their approval of the "purge plan" concept, believing it to be a good way to solve social problems.

way.

"Let's wait and see the opening day box office."

Wang Xuan tossed the questionnaire aside; whether the audience was male or female didn't matter, as long as they contributed to the box office.

Although horror films are considered niche genres, they have a stable audience in North America, and with James Wan directing, it means that the North American market will be a safety net for their box office success.

The next day, the 11th in Los Angeles time, Frank arrived early in the morning.

He cared more about the box office results than the boss, Wang Xuan, because it concerned whether he would lose his job.

When the two arrived at Lionsgate, they happened to run into James Wan, who looked travel-worn.

"Wang, don't worry too much, I have confidence in this movie."

"Then I'll take your good wishes."

Wang Xuan smiled.

When I arrived at the same meeting room as last time, someone was already waiting.

Before Wang Xuan could speak, Wen Ziren hurriedly asked, "Have the box office results been released yet?"

As an independent film director, the success or failure of a film not only determines his future prospects but also affects whether he will be offered a job by a company in the future.

He makes movies.

"The results just came out an hour ago, and they're pretty good. Take a look for yourselves."

A Lionsgate executive, keeping everyone in suspense, pushed two reports towards them.

Frank got up to get it, unfolded the report and placed it in front of Wang Xuan. The latter glanced at the data and breathed a sigh of relief.

"US$530 million on the first day is an excellent result. We succeeded."

Wen Ziren, who was standing to the side, had already started shouting loudly.

It's almost certain that this movie will be a huge box office success.
