China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 15 Finalizing Investment
  It took less than two days for Chen Dong to complete the script of "Those Years".

"This is?"

"My next movie script comes to you, teacher, for review."

"Haha, so fast."

Wang Jinsong didn't expect that his student was still very productive, unlike some directors who were as slow as a snail. They even called it three years to sharpen a sword, five years to sharpen a sword, or even ten years to sharpen a sword.

"You are young and have good energy." Chen Dong smiled and saw the teacher picked up his script and started reading it, so he made himself a cup of tea and waited quietly.

Wang Jinsong didn't read the script for long this time. After more than ten minutes, he put down the script and raised his head.

"Your book is pretty good...but there seems to be no youth campus-themed movie on the market currently, right?"

"Director Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days" should be regarded as the earliest youth film, but it seems that no domestic director has ever touched the youth campus film."

Speaking of this, Chen Dong touched his nose and smiled sheepishly: "Teacher, do you think I am the first to make this kind of movie, haha."

"Don't say it, it's true."

Looking at the high-spirited students, Wang Jinsong, as a teacher, is naturally very proud.

At the same time, I can't help but sigh in my heart, are people of my generation really getting old?

If the previous success of "Buried Alive" could be said to be due to his luck as a student, then at this moment, he really saw the shadow of the great director in Chen Dong.

Afterwards, Wang Jinsong chatted with Chen Dong about the film's creative ideas, shooting budget, actors and other issues. After chatting for more than two hours, Chen Dong left.

He still had to ask the teacher to help him get the script for review in the name of the school.

It hasn't been reviewed yet, but Han Shanping's movie was called first.

"Hey, Director Han..."

"Director Xiao Chen deserves to be the youngest director in China, and his efficiency is faster than I thought, haha."

Chen Dong knew that this person must have known that his new movie script was being submitted for review.

He pretended not to understand and asked, only to find out that the other party knew about it from the General Administration.

Yes, he is worthy of being a mountain eagle in the future. There is only one word for this: tough!

"Director Xiao Chen, when are you free, come to China Film Studio for tea and sign the investment contract for your next movie?"

Chen Dong did not reject China Film's investment. Although he is now worth more than 20 million, he can invest in "Those Years" by himself, but the movie is not just as simple as shooting, it also needs publicity, distribution, channels... It's not something he can do alone. What's more, no matter where he is, eating alone will always be remembered.

On the contrary, with the escort of the big ship China Film, Chen Dong can directly avoid a lot of troubles, and he only needs to work hard to make the movie well.

But this time Chen Dong will not let China Film Group fully invest in his movie, and it is estimated that the other party will not give him all the copyrights of the movie again, haha.

The day after receiving the call from Han Shanping, the official website of the General Administration published the list of approved scripts.

Among them, Chen Dong's new script "Those Years" is impressively listed.

China Film.

"Director Xiao Chen, what is your budget for this script? Have you calculated it?"

"Director Han, I made an estimate with my teacher before I came here. If we don't invite any big-name celebrities, it will be around five million."

"China Film Investment invested six million for you..."

Proud!

But judging from this person's tone, China Film Group plans to swallow up all of Chen Dong's movies again.

Of course he wouldn't agree.

"Director Han, I plan to participate in this movie myself."

"Oh? Investment is risky, has Director Xiao Chen thought about it?"

Although Han Shanping was a little surprised to hear that Chen Dong wanted to participate in the investment, it was expected.

After all, he also knew that Chen Dong sold the overseas copyright of "Buried Alive" for a lot of money in Cannes.

"Thank you, Director Han, for your advice. I have confidence in my movie."

Han Shanping saw that Chen Dong was so confident, so he didn't give much advice. After some discussion, the two of them basically reached an investment ratio.

China Film invested 400 million, plus publicity and distribution, accounting for 55%.

Chen Dong's Dongcheng Studio invested 200 million, plus his director's fee and the actor's remuneration, accounting for 45%.

Yes, Chen Dong plans to play the male lead in this movie, Ke Jingteng.

after all,

He plans to find Liu Yifei to play Shen Jiayi.

"It's time for Dongcheng Studio to recruit some people."

After coming out of China Film Academy, Chen Dong thought that his empty studio didn't even have a facade, but it had already taken on the first project. Let's not talk about other things. Financial issues must be handled by professionals, so he had to hurry up. Recruiting.

Well, before recruiting people, we need to solve the studio’s appearance problem. The question is, if you find a facade, do you want to redecorate it? Do you want a plaque for the studio?

Suddenly I discovered that there are quite a lot of trivial matters that cannot be completed in one or two days.

So Chen Dong simply called his boss and asked for a week's leave.

A week later, Chen Dong finally opened his Dongcheng Studio in Zhongguancun, which will be famous in later generations.

In order to prevent the studio from moving around in the future, Chen Dong also spent half of his assets to directly buy a six-story building.

It cannot be said that he is rich and powerful.

As a reborn person, Chen Dong couldn't remember which stock could help him make quick money or what the score of which football game was, but he still knew the general trend.

For example, house prices will rise, Bitcoin will rise, Moutai, Tencent, Ali, Baidu, Sina Weibo... these stocks will all rise, and they will rise dramatically.

By the way, it’s only 2003, and none of these Internet giants have even gone public yet.

It means that he will also have the opportunity to get on the bus in the future.

Of course, the premise is that he has accumulated a certain amount of wealth by then. Otherwise, if he can't even afford the ticket, why would he let you take a ride?

The facade problem was temporarily solved. Chen Dong entrusted the recruitment to a human resources company.

As for the people his studio currently lacks most, one is the manager responsible for managing the studio for him, and the other is the accountant responsible for finance.

Nortel, Library.

It's embarrassing to say that Chen Dong's freshman career is almost over, and today is the first time he walked into the library.

And it’s not just for reading.

He's here to find a girl.

From Jiang Yiyan, I learned that Liu Yifei was in the library, so Chen Dong brought the script of "Those Years" to surprise Ms. Liu.

"Ah! Dongzi, why are you here too?" Liu Yifei was obviously surprised when she saw Chen Dong in the library.

"That must be because someone is here. Otherwise, why would our great director, who has so many things to do, come to the library, right?" Zhou Yang, who was next to him, said sourly, with an expression that had seen through everything.

In fact, everyone in their small group could see how much Chen Dong cared about Miss Liu.

"Yangyang, what are you talking about?" Liu Yifei naturally heard the meaning of Zhou Yang's words, her cheeks turned red, and she poked the other person with a pen as a warning.

Chen Dong smiled lightly and didn't intend to explain anything.

"Zhou Yang, my boss asked you to go to his office to find him."

"Liar, my boss won't call me if he comes to see me..." Zhou Yang suddenly understood. Chen Dong thought she was a nuisance here and was planning to send her away, hum.

The face of the 'great director' still needs to be given.

"Oops, why is my phone turned off...Dongzi, my boss is really looking for me?"

"I just came from my old class. If I can still lie to you, go ahead."

"Okay, I'll go first. If you dare to lie to me, you're dead... Sissi, I'll leave first."

Looking at Zhou Yang, who had good acting skills, Chen Dong silently decided to give her the role of Shen Jiayi's friend Wanwan.

After watching Zhou Yang walk away, Chen Dong withdrew his gaze and sat down directly in her seat.

He saw that the delicate oval face of Miss Liu sitting next to him was flushed. Although her mind was no longer on the book, she was still holding a book and pretending to be absorbed in it.

Chen Dong felt that what Miss Liu was serving was so cute at the moment, and couldn't help but stare at it a few more times.

"Dongzi, you, can you stop staring at me all the time."

Miss Liu felt that she was almost dying of embarrassment, so she simply gave up and turned back to glare at Chen Dong.

"Haha, aren't you reading a book? How do you know I'm staring at you?" Even though Chen Dong was thick-skinned, he was still a little stunned by Miss Liu's fierce gaze.

"Hmph, I just know...tell me, why did you ask Yangyang to go away? What do you want from me?"

"So you know everything?!"

"Humph, I'm not stupid."

Just a little silly.

Of course, Chen Dong only dared to say this in his heart.

"Here, how about the movie heroine I promised you before? Brother Dong, do I keep my word?"

Chen Dong took out the script from his clothes and waved it in front of Miss Liu's eyes, but the latter snatched it away.

""The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years""

I don’t know what Miss Liu thought of when she saw the name of this script, and her cheeks turned red again.

Chen Dong almost couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch it, not knowing whether to punish him or not.
