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

Wang Xuan attended the last class of the semester with his class and occasionally kept an eye on the post-production work.

As a renowned director, spending so much time at school inevitably leads to being harassed by enthusiastic upperclassmen and underclassmen.

This situation didn't last long. Shuangzi and Chai Biyun started acting as bodyguards, and anyone who tried to get close to them had to go through them first.

Wang Xuan was so annoyed that he let the two of them do whatever they wanted.

Jing Tian's drama won't start filming until the end of December.

She wanted to go back to school, but when she asked her class teacher for leave, she said it was to prepare for the start of filming, so now she feels embarrassed to come back.

Therefore, the young lady blamed Wang Xuan for the incident.

"This woman is shameless, seducing men everywhere. The men should also be scolded for ruining other people's marriages."

Chai Biyun scrolled through news about Annie Yi's affair, glancing at Shuangzi with veiled criticism; the warning couldn't be clearer.

"This woman is so pitiful. They're already separated, and she's still being scolded for dating."

Hearing Shuangzi's explanation, Chai Biyun's temper flared up immediately:

"What kind of values ​​do you have? Separation is not divorce. You cheated and you still make up so many excuses."

"They've already agreed to a divorce, so how can it not be considered a divorce?" Shuangzi said with an air of certainty.

"Have you two finished arguing? It's their business, why are you so concerned about it?"

Wang Xuan was driven crazy by the noise. He looked at Shuangzi and was surprised that her thoughts had gone astray so early.

"Shuangmei, you can't have this idea. It's a violation of basic morality, and there's no point in arguing about it."

"That's right, that's right."

Chai Biyun nodded in agreement, looked at Shuangzi with a victorious gaze, and said, "Listen to this, how upright Wang Xuan's values ​​are. You should learn from him."

Out of Wang Xuan's sight, Shuangzi rolled her eyes at Chai Biyun, then turned to Wang Xuan and nodded obediently, as if she had taken his advice to heart.

A news story circulating online, titled "Even a pretty face can become an official," has sparked huge controversy.

Media reports indicate that Fan Binbin, only 26 years old, has been appointed as the deputy head of the Actors Troupe of the Northwest Film Group's Art Creation Center, enjoying the待遇 of a deputy division-level official.

Good guy.

The sky has fallen for the people of Shandong.

How many deputy division chiefs are there in the whole country at the age of 26?

The internet was flooded with criticism, with many mocking her as a figurehead in a government position.

The most classic comments were full of sarcasm.

"The gossip queen manages actor training, teaching newcomers how to create scandals?"

"His acting skills weren't that great, but he got promoted pretty quickly."

···

The entertainment industry is really lively. Fan Binbin's popularity hasn't died down yet, and now the internet is in an uproar over the "pre-arranged" deal.

At the recently concluded MTV Music Awards, a group of singers lost to actress Chen Hao, who won the award for Most Popular Female Singer in Mainland China.

Three hours before the awards ceremony, media outlets reported that Chen Hao had been pre-selected as the winner, and when the results came out, fans were in an uproar.

Especially the fans, who stood up for Zhang Liangying and denounced the organizers for their shady dealings.

Amateurs "crushing" professionals is a tragedy for the music industry.

In the last few days of November, Wang Xuan received a call from Ning Hao, who said that the script he had mentioned earlier was finished and asked Wang Xuan to give him some pointers.

Bad Monkey Pictures is a studio founded by Ning Hao and his wife. It's about the same size as Xuancheng Pictures. They rented a storefront, and a girl was busy at the front desk.

That makes sense, though. Ning Hao didn't make much money with "Crazy Stone," receiving a very low director's fee, and "Crazy Racer" hasn't even been released yet.

"Don't let the small size of the studio fool you; it's fully equipped with all the necessary post-production equipment."

Ning Hao led Wang Xuan around, introducing his studio.

"It's much better than my shell company, which was basically just an empty shell."

"You're too modest. With such a good box office for 'Back to Youth,' and your involvement in the investment, you could easily set up a business with the money you received."

Ning Hao smacked his lips, his envy evident in his expression. He had painstakingly saved up all his possessions through frugality.

The two sat down in the office, and Ning Hao skillfully brewed tea. There are several ways to brew tea in the Northwest, but the most famous is the gaiwan tea.

"Try it, it's a specialty from my hometown."

"Hmm, not bad, sweet and full-bodied, a completely different taste from light tea."

"If you like it, take some with you later. There's plenty at home."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After chatting about lifestyle habits, Ning Hao brought up the movie "Crazy Racer," which was scheduled to be released in mid-January, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.

"This film continues the dark humor of 'Crazy Stone', and the multi-line narrative with four main storylines running in parallel will definitely give the audience a refreshing experience."

"Oh, so you're aiming for the Spring Festival season."

"The Spring Festival release window?" Ning Hao asked, puzzled. "Is there such a release window?"

Wang Xuan forgot that the concept of the Spring Festival film season only took shape after the release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in 13.

"Whether it exists or not, I like this terminology, so let's just call it the Spring Festival film season."

Ning Hao poured tea for Wang Xuan and said with a smile, "You have to come and support me at the movie premiere."

"That's acceptable," Wang Xuan nodded.

Ning Hao put the teapot aside, got up, walked to his desk, opened a drawer, and took out a script.

"You have experience with dark themes, could you take a look at this script and see what you think?"

Judging from Ning Hao's smug expression, he clearly didn't want Wang Xuan to give him any pointers; he just wanted to show off.

Wang Xuan took it and raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw the title of the drama on the cover.

I flipped through it briefly and confirmed that it was the show I knew.

[Racing] has four narratives, but this script is a single narrative, making it a rare road movie in China.

Seeing Wang Xuan finish reading it quickly, Ning Hao couldn't help but frown, thinking: Could it be that he doesn't know what he's talking about? How could he not see the quality of such a great script?

He asked, seemingly without changing his expression:

"The script isn't to your liking?"

Wang Xuan shook his head, took a sip of tea, and then said, "It's a good script. Are you planning to submit it for awards?"

"We do have this plan."

Ning Hao nodded in agreement, then pressed further, "You don't think it's a good idea?"

"No, it's not that. Didn't you consider whether the script would even pass censorship? There isn't a single good person in the whole film, especially the corrupt cop character..."

What appears to be a script full of criticism and satire is actually a story about a test of humanity stripped of the disguise of civilization, using the extreme wilderness of the no-man's-land to reveal the good and evil in everyone's bones.

It's an excellent road crime script, but it's difficult to get it approved because the authorities have been acting strangely lately, and filming this kind of content would be inappropriate.

Ning Hao confidently stated, "With China Film Group involved in the investment, passing the censorship won't be a problem."

Seeing how confident Ning Hao was, Wang Xuan didn't say anything more and changed the subject.

He asked about the story of the "Hunting" script, and Wang Xuan gave him a brief explanation.

But as Ning Hao listened, his gaze towards Wang Xuan changed; he looked shocked.

"How did you come up with such a brilliant screenplay? No wonder you're aiming for the Berlin Film Festival."

Wang Xuan smiled modestly: "Just lucky."
