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

Chapter 179 How can I not be gentle? Blocking order (please subscribe!)

"Does Director Chen still need investment for his new movie?"

"A literary script doesn't require much budget, so I won't look for investment this time."

"What about the characters?"

This is Huo Wenxi's real purpose.

Although there is no news on the Internet that Andy Lau will join Chen Dongxin's movie, this woman has already learned about it through her own news channels.

"There will be open auditions for my new movie."

Having said this, Chen Dong paused for a moment before continuing: "Let's do this. I'll send a character list to Director Huo later."

Huo Wenxi is a smart man.

I knew that I couldn't get a role with Chen Dong based on my personal connections, but being able to get the role list in advance gave me a better chance than others.

Next, Huo Wenxi didn't ask any more questions and said, "Okay, thank you, Director Chen."

"You're welcome."

The screening of "Painted Skin" began, and the entire premiere venue fell silent instantly.

The vixen played by Ji Xun is both lustful and pure, breaking people's inherent impression that vixens are either charming or coquettish.

This is actually very difficult, and it fully proves that Hexun's acting skills are very deep.

The key point is that this woman touched Chen Dong's side at some point. When he was fascinated, she suddenly said: "Director Chen, my acting is okay?"

"...Well, not bad."

Chen Dong turned his head and glanced at the other party. Using the light on the screen, he happened to see the cunning look in Wei Xun's eyes, and he suddenly became wary.

"I heard that Director Chen's new movie is called "Kan'er"?"

"Huh? Where did you hear that?"

"Jiang Wen."

The messages came straight in and out, not hidden at all.

She continued: "I heard that there is a female character named Chunmei in it, who is the ex-wife of the male protagonist..."

At this time, Chen Dong interrupted the chat: "You are not suitable."

"Why am I not suitable?" Chie Xun was unconvinced.

"You are not gentle." Chen Dong was very direct.

"Mom, I...how am I not gentle?"

Facing Chen Dong's half-smiling gaze, Chi Xun was quickly defeated.

But she held it in for a long time, and when "Painted Skin" was coming to an end, she suddenly said another sentence: "Although I am not gentle, I can perform the gentleness you want."

Chen Dong turned his head again and stared at the woman with confidence and stubbornness in her eyes. He did not deny her anymore, but thought about it seriously, and then said after a while: "Come to the audition then."

His words were tantamount to saying that Chirping could be given a chance.

But in fact, Brother Xun doesn't quite fit the role of a gentle wife here in Chen Dong.

"How would Director Chen rate Yang Mi?"

During the interview again, Chen Dongren was sitting in the audience, but the reporter asked him such a bizarre question that had nothing to do with the movie.

He took the microphone and pondered for two seconds before replying slowly: "Yang Mi is a very talented actor who works hard to improve herself."

When his comment about Yang Mi was posted on Weibo's hot search, Chen Dong knew that it was Zhong Lifang who had arranged this link.

The reporter who interviewed him was also on Weibo.

Co-author is the only one who is kept in the dark.

However, Chen Dong's words, which were 70% true and 30% false, made Yang Mi happy all day long.

On the day "Painted Skin" was released, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" was downloaded from the cinema.

The latter reported a total of 1.07 million.

The box office was five to six million higher than the first film. There is no doubt that this is a very successful sequel.

Moreover, Lu Yang also foreshadowed a lot of plots in "Xiu Chun Dao 2"... He didn't fill in the details. They were preparing for the third part.

The first-day box office of "Painted Skin" was 2113 million.

A very surprising number.

It was beyond the expectations of many people, especially the Xiangjiang gang.

Because at first Chen Jiashang approached them for investment, but no one was optimistic about the project, so Chen Dong and Yinghuang's funds were allowed to enter the market.

"Hey, Director Huo."

As soon as Chen Dong sent her the character sheet for "Kan'er", Huo Wenxi called her.

He thought the woman would talk to him about movie roles, but unexpectedly she asked him: "Do you want to continue to use Chen Jiashang as the director of "Painted Skin 2"?"

Chen Dong could tell that Huo Wenxi wanted to continue using Chen Jiashang because he made money from "Painted Skin 1".

But he didn't want to use it, and couldn't think of a reason to refuse directly, so he simply said: "Well, if Chen Jiashang only gets the director's fee, then he will continue to make the next movie."

"Painted Skin" was still being released, so Huo Wenxi was not in a hurry and thought to ask about it later.

But Chen Jia Shang knew that he had signed a follow-up copyright agreement with Ying Huang and Chen Dong's Dongcheng Pictures.

Now I see that the market response to "Painted Skin" has been so good after it was released, and the box office has also exploded.

He regretted it a little.

So he took the initiative to contact Huo Wenxi and expressed his hope to make a sequel to "Painted Skin".

To be honest, Chen JiaShang, who is in the limelight, does not think he will fail.

But the result is that he really failed.

Because the other party made a very excessive request.

How is this possible for him to give up investment and only receive director's salary?
You know it's a profitable project, but you don't allow yourself to invest in it. Isn't this just a job?
What's more, what Chen Jiashang hears now is either applause or praise, and his mentality is a little wandering. He can't bear this kind of grievance.

If you don’t take pictures, the dogs won’t take pictures.

Even when he was interviewed by the media later, he was in a weird mood, blaming Sang and Huai, wanting to vent his anger, but not daring to completely offend Ying Huang and Chen Dong, showing he was very indecisive.

But this does not seem to affect the box office of "Painted Skin".

After earning 2113 million on the first day, it gained 2200 million on the second day, 1900 million on the third day, and 1700 million on the fourth day...

On the sixth day, it exceeded 100 million.

Another director has been added to the Billion Dollar Club membership.

And based on the box office trend of "Painted Skin" and its online reputation, it's only a matter of time before the movie breaks the 2 million mark.

One-third of the news on the Internet in the past two days is "Painted Skin", one-third is the meandering Golden Horse Awards, and one-third is other miscellaneous excitement.

This year's Golden Horse Awards came to an end last night. "Lust, Caution", which had attracted the most attention before, won 7 awards and 4 awards.

The four awards are Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Newcomer.

The first two awards were awarded to Li Yu, the Best Actor was awarded to Liang Chaowei, and the Best Newcomer was awarded to Tang Wei.

Best Actress was won by Chen Chong for "Yi", while Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were won by Best Actor Liang and Fan Bingbing respectively.

Jay Chou's debut film "The Untold Secret" won the annual Wanwan Outstanding Film Award.

Sounds more like a consolation prize.

Tang Wei just received his first film trophy at the Golden Horse Awards, which was originally a very happy thing.

I thought my career would be on the rise.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the General Administration received a large number of reports because of her playing a sensitive role and issued a "blocking order" on her.

Suddenly, the sky fell for Tang Wei, and the smile he had just smiled at the Golden Horse Awards turned into a river of sadness.
