How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 99 Rhythm

Wang Manli had acted in films by famous directors, so she knew very well.

Under the cameras of great directors, I am merely a tool. Or rather, a paintbrush!

It is the paintbrush that brings the intentions of great directors to life!

However, Zhen Liang's flirtatious act just now was completely different; it was almost tailor-made for her, designed to bring out her full charm.

Let me put it this way!

Under the great director's camera, no matter how well Zhen Liang performs, she is nothing more than a tool.

But in Wang Xiaohao's lens, Zhen Liang became a goddess.

Even Wang Manli never enjoyed such treatment, so why should Zhen Liang, this rotten woman, enjoy it?

At this moment, Wang Manli was so jealous that she wanted to jump into the screen, drag that slut Zhen Liang out, and make herself play the lead role!

Bai Qiuqi and Zhen Liang are mortal enemies, and her feelings at this moment are similar to Wang Manli's.

Even Jin Ningxin's eyes were sparkling.

She felt that if Wang Xiaohao had approached her with this script from the beginning, she would definitely have been willing to cooperate!

However, she was also a little troubled because her family was afraid they wouldn't let her act in this flirtatious scene.

While Jin Ningxin was troubled, she wanted to say something to her aunt, Lü Xuan.

However, Lu Xuan was seen with a big smile on her face, engrossed in watching the movie, clearly completely absorbed in the plot!

Commercial films have a very tight pace.

Wang Xiaohao's movie is only 100 minutes long!

If you want to tell the whole story in 100 minutes, you'll be doomed if the pace is even a little slow!

As soon as the male lead falls in love, the female lead has her first argument with someone in a coffee shop.

The male lead steps in to slap the female lead in the face!

The female lead's rival was originally showing off her wealth, but the male lead inadvertently made her look ridiculously arrogant.

Then their relationship blossoms, and the female lead visits the male lead's home for the first time. She sees many antiques, even Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) and armor.

All of this suggests that the protagonist has lived an extremely long life.

In addition, there was the superpower he had unintentionally used earlier.

This makes one think that the male protagonist must be the alien from the first UFO that crashed.

Then the two of them sweetly fed the audience dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

It was at this moment that Lü Xuan watched with a beaming smile, like an aunt.

At this moment, not only Lü Xuan, but many viewers also showed the same kind of auntie smile.

Jin Ningxin has the simplest mind; she quickly puts her worries aside and immerses herself back in the story.

Then the female lead was constantly attacked online, and her career continued to decline.

The female lead got drunk and became unreasonable, venting her frustration on the male lead.

In a fit of anger, the male protagonist leaves the female protagonist.

Then, the second conflict soon followed. In order to make her reappear in the public eye and prepare for her comeback, the female lead's company arranged for her to attend a charity gala.

As a result, those brands looked down on her, thinking that the actress's status had declined and she was not worthy of borrowing their high-end clothing and jewelry, and could only wear out-of-season clothes and handbags.

The male lead always cares about the female lead. Seeing that she is being treated coldly and mistreated everywhere, he gets angry and goes and buys a large luxury goods store.

Then they sent all the top luxury jewelry of the season to the female lead, even jewelry worth hundreds of millions, to be worn by her.

The female lead attended the charity gala looking radiant, giving a slap in the face to those who had bullied and looked down on her earlier.

She was very touched and went to apologize to the male lead, and the two reconciled.

Then came another piece of PDA content.

Then came another crisis!

The male protagonist can finally leave Earth.

Then comes the third act, the showdown and the face-slapping!

The male lead helps the female lead fulfill her wish and wins the Best Actress award.

Just as the male protagonist was leaving in despair, preparing to depart alone.

Little did she know that the male lead was already planning to leave.

After fulfilling her wish to become a Best Actress, she ran out of the venue in an evening gown, found the male lead, and together they rode in a flying saucer and left this world!

A passionate and romantic song rang out from light-years away.

The movie is over!

The lights on the screen slowly dimmed, and all the viewers were immersed in a lingering aftertaste.

After a long while, someone finally started clapping excitedly!

Soon, a round of applause erupted!

"Director Wang, you're absolutely amazing! You've made another great film! I wish you great box office success!"

Sun Xuyang arrived early, held Wang Xiaohao's hand tightly, and said...

At this moment, he appeared slightly obsequious!

But what's wrong with flattery!

Isn't it perfectly normal for actors to fawn over directors?

Moreover, Wang Xiaohao is also a successful commercial director.

At this point, Sun Xuyang was already starting to regret acting in "My Sassy Girl 2".

Originally, he was only worried about appearing in "My Sassy Girl 2".

I've offended Wang Xiaohao, this up-and-coming director!

But after watching "My Love from the Star," he wasn't just worried anymore; he was filled with regret.

"My Sassy Girl 2" was actually alright, nothing special. It was a little worse than the first one!

However, it can be said that it is definitely above average, at least a commercial film that scores 65 points or higher.

However, it is clear that Wang Xiaohao's "My Love from the Star" can definitely score 90 points in the realm of commercial romance films.

Although starring in "My Sassy Girl 2" did help his career to some extent.

But it's definitely not as serious as offending Wang Xiaohao, a promising commercial director!

Fortunately, Sun Xuyang was sensible and came to apologize to Wang Xiaohao early on.

There's a big difference between saying an apology before or after a movie's release!

At this moment, the CEO of Yuehai also came over, looking serious yet impressed: "Congratulations, Director Wang, you've made a great film!"

"How about it? Any chance to collaborate with Yuehua?"

As a direct competitor, the CEO of Yuehai felt disheartened after watching "My Love from the Star".

The pacing of this movie is absolutely fantastic!

This doesn't feel like a domestic film at all!

Even now, the pacing of domestic films has never been very good.

Otherwise, it's like some big-name directors who transitioned from art films and started making big-budget blockbusters.

However, while their blockbusters are indeed grand in scale, they completely lack any sense of commercial pacing.

And typical commercial film directors, sorry, haven't really honed their skills much either.

Unlike Wang Xiaohao's film, which has a very obvious sense of rhythm.

Conflict, de-escalation, conflict, de-escalation again...

This sense of rhythm is completely unlike that of a mainland Chinese director.

Hmm, perhaps directors from Hong Kong in the past had this ability.

However, since they went north, whether it was due to acclimatization issues or a collective loss of intelligence, they have lost their most proficient skills.

On the contrary, it is Wang Xiaohao, this rising star, who has made such a purely commercial film!

"This movie's box office is already guaranteed!" thought the CEO of Yuehai.
