In the entertainment industry, I only like making movies.

Chapter 62 Essential Skills for Directors: Catching a Cherry Blossom!

.......

Fang Yi's suggestion surprised Liu Xiaoli.

They thought he was incredibly bold to dare poach talent from his employer, Huayi Brothers, and even dare to confront Chen Jingfei and Zhang Jizhong directly.

Although Lao Chen is not in the entertainment industry, as a billionaire and in the same circle in Beijing, neither the big and small Wangs would necessarily want to offend him.

Zhang Jizhong is also a director registered with CCTV, and several of his TV series have received support from CCTV.

Fang Yi is so young, where does his confidence come from?

Liu Xiaoli hesitated until he left in the afternoon, saying that he would take care of Hua Yi first, and then she reluctantly nodded.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, was very happy and hoped that her senior brother would take action soon.

"Mom, I think my senior brother's suggestion is excellent. Instead of letting others benefit, why not let him become a shareholder of Red Starwood?"

In the garden, the mother and daughter watched the Volkswagen drive away. The little girl, holding her mother's arm, said in a serious tone.

Liu Xiaoli seemed to be thinking about something, then patted her daughter's round head and instructed, "Remember to keep this a secret, don't even tell your godfather."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Liu Yifei nodded twice and patted her chest to assure them.

Her pretty face was tense, she looked ready to die, as if she were possessed by an underground party member, and even the whip could not shake her determination to keep secret.

Her resolute expression amused Liu Xiaoli, who reached out and pinched her daughter's cheek.

"Stop fooling around and hurry up and do your afternoon homework."

.......

8 month 15 number.

The filming of "Taken" was launched at the Huairou Film and Television Base, attracting numerous media outlets to attend.

Some tourists at the film and television base also gathered after hearing the news, hoping to get up close and personal with the celebrities.

In front of a four-story villa that blends Chinese and Western styles, an incense table faces the main entrance and is surrounded by layers of walls.

On the wall outside the villa, there are two huge posters, with Zhao Wenzhu occupying the center of the poster alone.

His face was fierce, and he looked menacing.

The reporters, microphones in hand, chatted and laughed as they waited, while the photographers behind them snapped a few photos from different angles.

Outside, tourists craned their necks, freely examining the somewhat old four-story villa.

"Have you heard? The female lead in the movie is Fan Bingbing."

"It's her again. Did the director sleep with her?"

"It's hard to say, who can resist Fan Bingbing's charm?"

"impossible!"

At this point, a fan of Fan Bingbing shook her head and said sharply, "This movie is obviously a male-dominated film. Bingbing seems to be the female lead, but her role is at most a special guest appearance. She should at least get a good price!"

The fans' words were blunt and direct, but they hit the nail on the head, and many people around them nodded in agreement.

On the other side, a young woman nudged her boyfriend and said, "Lingfeng, let's play for a couple more days. I want to be an extra."

Her boyfriend, Ling Feng, rolled his eyes, speechless as he looked at his girlfriend's peculiar way of thinking.

Be a ghost extra.

Don't think I don't know Zhao Wenzhuo is your idol. You're so obsessed with your idol that you can't resist him!

Ling Feng grabbed the young lady and leaned close to her ear with a mischievous grin: "Okay, but I have a condition."

"What are your requirements?"

"Wear black stockings tonight, and also wear the white high heels I just bought you."

The girl blushed instantly.

You're going to die for talking nonsense in front of so many people.

The young woman looked around, and seeing that no one had heard her, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave a barely perceptible "hmm".

Ling Feng was overjoyed.

He hugged his girlfriend tightly, feeling secretly pleased with himself, thinking that coming to the launch event today was definitely the right choice.

The film director's surname was Fang, I think. He's a good guy!

Just as Fang Yi was receiving praise, he led a group of people out of the villa.

Eight actors, the Wang brothers, Chen Ran, Chen Hui, Li Yang, and a host of guests who came to support the event.

*Slap slap slap...*

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Beams of white light shot out from the photographer's camera, clearly capturing tomorrow's entertainment headlines.

Before the incense table...

Fang Yi took the microphone from the hostess, smiled at everyone, and said, "Due to time constraints, I did not choose to hold the press conference at the hotel. I hope all the guests and reporters will understand."

Welcome to all the guests, media friends, and tourists present at the launch of my new film.

Thank you everyone!

"Let's have a good time and drink our fill when the movie comes out!"

The clear voice echoed all around, causing a great commotion.

"good.."

"Making a good movie is what's important!"

"Fang Yi, right? Take this filming seriously, I'll go to the cinema to support you!"

"come on!"

Applause erupted again, and some loud tourists cheered loudly, appreciating Fang Yi's directness and efficiency.

Oh wow...

I had no lunch to mooch.

The reporters smiled knowingly, ignoring the implication of his words, and crowded forward to begin their interviews.

Fang Yi continued, "Life is short, filled with uncertainty and confusion. Family and loved ones are the most important emotional anchors in our lives. May all families in the world be harmonious and loving, and never be separated!"

The seemingly random words piqued the reporters' interest, and they looked once again at the poster on the villa's wall.

Could it be...?

This is a drama about life, death, and separation!

The reporters were full of ideas, observing the actors' expressions while speculating about the content of the new film.

Before long, the preparations for the opening ceremony were almost complete.

Fang Yi waved his hand, indicating that the interview could begin.

The reporters perked up and eagerly raised their hands, as if they were being asked questions in elementary school—they were incredibly enthusiastic.

Fang Yi casually pointed to a reporter from the movie channel.

The newcomer was a young woman with a smug expression. She glanced at her colleagues beside her and thought to herself, "You dare to compete with this princess?"

The other reporters pouted, looking at Fang Yi with a resentful expression, as if he had been abandoned by a scumbag.

The young woman stepped forward and said loudly, "Director Fang, hello, my name is Li Mi, a special correspondent for the Movie Channel. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask the first question."

"Miss Li, you're too kind. Judging from your accent, you studied broadcasting?"

Fang Yi smiled slightly and asked the young lady in return.

"Director Fang has a good eye."

Li Mi nodded, glancing at herself, and pointed to the poster, asking in a low voice, "Director Fang, what exactly is the story of your new film? You previously mentioned it was an action, crime, and adventure film. Could you elaborate today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other reporters nodded vigorously.

That damn Fang Yi already revealed news about his new film at the celebration party for "Phone Booth".

It's been almost a month, and there's still the same information. The secrecy is just too good.

And those actors who auditioned were all cowards.

What's there to be afraid of?

You said you passed the audition and you want to keep it a secret, which is understandable. But if you didn't get the part, why are you keeping it a secret?

Fang Yi isn't going to bite you!

A group of reporters stared intently at Fang Yi, hoping he would be more outgoing today and not act like a shy, timid young woman.

"certainly!"

Fang Yi spread his hands and said, "Ask me anything today, and I will not hide anything from you that I can answer."

He then coughed lightly and raised his voice slightly.

"The new movie is called Taken."

"This is an extremely touching story about family, relatives, paternal love, and a husband's sincere love for his wife—a story centered around family!"

This is incredibly moving!

What does it have to do with action, crime, or adventure?

The reporters were drunk, their faces filled with utter nonsense and absurdity.

Li Mi from the movie channel also twitched her lips, feeling that Fang Yi was playing her for a fool, treating her like a three-year-old child.

You're so handsome, yet you're incredibly wicked!

They're treating us like idiots!

Li Mi gave a soft snort, unmoved by Fang Yi's words, and continued to ask, "Director Fang, does 'rescue' mean the male protagonist's family is trapped or kidnapped, and he fights to rescue them, leading to a series of touching stories?"

"Yes, exactly what it says!!"

Fang Yi nodded in agreement and gave the young lady a thumbs up!

That was a really accurate guess, it was so touching!

Behind them, Zhao Wenzhuo, Fan Bingbing, and others puffed out their cheeks, trying not to laugh, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Director Fang, you're so mean!

Treating reporters like monkeys, aren't they afraid they'll smear the film?

Next, the reporter from NetEase News got the second chance to ask a question.

This guy is much more mature and steady; he got straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Director Fang, since it's an action crime, there should be fight scenes and gun battles."

"Could you describe the film's key features or its core selling point?"

Wow, that's brilliant!

Only a seasoned journalist can deliver a decisive blow.

Not only were the other reporters satisfied, but the tourists behind them also looked delighted, staring at Fang Yi to see what other nonsense he could spout.

"Okay, I'll give you some real information."

Seeing that he had whetted their appetites enough, Fang Yi stopped hiding his intentions and said with a smile, "【Taken】is an extremely exciting film that conquers Hong Kong and Southeast Asia!"

"The ultimate experience is about relentlessly killing and having a blast, an unparalleled, exhilarating thrill!"

"Alright, that concludes the interview!"

"Next, let's hold the opening ceremony!"
