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

Chapter 2 China Film Investment
  Chen Dong saw that the tea cup the teacher placed on the table had bottomed out, and planned to make him another cup.

"The tea is under the water fountain."

Wang Jinsong raised his head and glanced, then turned his attention to the script of "Buried Alive".

At first, he didn't have high expectations for the script sent by Chen Dong, so he planned to read it casually.

But as he watched, his reading speed became slower and slower, the expression on his face became more serious, and finally even his brows wrinkled.

"This script is very good!"

After nearly two hours, Wang Jinsong finally put down the script after reading it twice.

When he looked at his student again, his eyes were filled with shock and concern.

"Teacher, you have finished reading."

Chen Dong smiled, his eyes still full of confidence.

"Well, I finished reading it and read it twice. Chen Dong, was this book really written by you?"

"Yeah, every word is." Chen Dong joked, but also gave Wang Jinsong a definite answer.

Although he copied the memory of his previous life, in this time and space plane, the timeline is still 2002, so isn't it his original work?

Next, Teacher Wang chatted with Chen Dong for more than ten minutes about the script "Buried Alive".

He felt more and more that he had something special as a student, unlike a freshman who had just entered college.

"So, you want to direct it yourself?"

"Hey, teacher, this is the storyboard I drew."

Originally, Wang Jinsong was worried that as a student with no directing experience, he would waste the good script "Buried Alive".

I just wanted to persuade him.

But after watching the shot taken out by Chen Dong, he was completely shocked and speechless.

"Good boy, teacher, I really underestimate you... Is there anyone in the family who is a director?"

"No, but before I was admitted to Nortel, I bought relevant books and studied on my own for a while."

Wang Jinsong finally saw what genius is today.

Of course, he couldn't possibly know that these were actually Chen Dong's accumulation of more than ten years in his previous life.

"...Okay, print out a copy of the script as soon as possible, and the school will help you take it to the film bureau for review."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

"Has the investment problem been solved?"

"No." Chen Dong replied immediately.

"Let's do this. After the script is reviewed, I will help you make an appointment with someone from China Film Group... As for the actors, what do you think?"

"Teacher, I think Liang Jiahui, Liu Dehua, Liu Qingyun..."

"Stop."

He couldn't help but laugh angrily when he heard Chen Dong reciting these names as if they were reciting the names of dishes.

"You go back first and we'll talk about the actors later."

"That's okay, then the student won't disturb the teacher. I'd like to thank you for your trouble."

That night, Chen Dong went to the Internet cafe and spent an hour typing up the script into a document. The printed copy was delivered to Wang Jinsong's desk early the next morning.

The benefits of having the school's endorsement were immediately realized, and in just the past week, "Buried Alive" passed the review.

You can also check it on the official website of the Film Bureau——

Movie title: "Buried Alive"

Type: suspense

Director: Chen Dong

Main actor: Undecided

……

In the circle of directors, Chen Dong is completely unknown, so almost no one will pay attention to his movie "Buried Alive". Except for Nortel.

News that a freshman in the Department of Acting has written a movie script and plans to direct it has long spread on Nortel's campus.

Even many teachers have heard about it.

Although many people are curious, more people see it as a joke.

Teacher Wang Jinsong is quite concerned about his students' affairs.

On the third day after "Buried Alive" was reviewed, he took Chen Dong to make an appointment with people from China Film.

What Chen Dong didn't expect was that the person coming from China Film Group would actually be Han Shanping, the future head of China Film Group.

Although he has not yet become the boss of China Film Group, Chen Dong, a young boy, naturally cannot fall into his eyes.

For Teacher Wang's sake, Han Shanping took away the script of "Buried Alive" after the banquet. As for whether China Film would invest, he did not give a firm commitment.

A week passed, just when Chen Dong's patience was about to run out and he was preparing to submit the script to state-owned film and television enterprises such as Shanghai Film and Television Film and Television Film and Television, China Film's reply was finally conveyed to Chen Dong through teacher Wang Jinsong.

There is a play!

It was worth waiting for him for a week.

The next day, Chen Dong combed his hair like an adult, borrowed a suit from Zhu Yawen's wardrobe, and walked into the door of China Film Group alone.

He was led into Han Shanping's office by his secretary.

"Director Han."

"Xiao Chen is here, have you been waiting for a long time? I'm really sorry, I've been too busy recently."

Maybe this person is indeed very busy at work, but Chen Dong also knows in his heart that this is just an excuse, mainly because he is a newcomer and is not taken seriously.

However, Chen Dong still put himself in the position of a junior, "Dr. Han, you are really too polite..."

Seeing that this young man was very humble, Han Shanping smiled and patted his shoulder and said:

"I read Xiao Chen's script "Buried Alive" and it is indeed as your teacher said, it is a very good script."

"What?" Chen Dong wanted to hear more about investment.

"China Film can invest three million."

Upon hearing the number three million, Chen Dong quickly calculated in his mind that it would be enough if he didn't hire big-name actors.

Immediately, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Director Han."

On the same day, Chen Dong signed a contract with China Film Group Corporation, and three million was the entire investment in this film.

Among them, Chen Dong's director and screenwriter receive a salary of 10 and all copyrights, while China Film Investment Corporation invests 100 million and is responsible for publicity and distribution and gets % of the domestic box office split.

The reason why China Film Group does not care about the copyright of this movie also shows that they actually do not have high expectations for this movie.

It was purely because of Chen Dong’s reputation as a teacher and the script was pretty good that I invested three million.

Just support the newcomers.

China Film Group does not value the copyright of this film, but Chen Dong does.

Especially overseas copyrights.

He made this movie to win the three major European awards. I can't say whether it will win, but it shouldn't be difficult to get nominated.

As long as he is nominated, his films will be seen by the three major European film producers.

In his previous life, "Buried Alive" was an American film. Although Chen Dong will use Asian faces to film the film in this life, he believes that the plot of this film will not be acclimated to the European and American markets.

So there will definitely be film producers who will take a liking to it.

If he could win an award, he would probably earn more.

As for the domestic box office, he can't actually say.

Of course, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" has warmed up the market and can get a box office of 2.5 million before it is released in the middle of this month, but more movies can't even see a splash.
