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

Chapter 213 The new movie "Interstellar" with overseas copyright of 1880 million U.S. dollars (please subscribe!)

"Good news comes from Italy. Chinese director Chen Dong won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the 65th Venice International Film Festival for his currently being screened movie "Kan'er"!"

“The Golden Lion Award has been won by a Chinese director for four consecutive years!”

"Congratulations to Director Chen Dong, "Kan Er", and also congratulations to Huang Wenhuan's "Women" for winning the Special Jury Prize in the Horizon Section."

"Who dares to say that Chen Dong is just a commercial film director? Who dares to say that a commercial film director cannot make literary films?"

"Liu Yifei, as an accompanying family member, outdid all the beautiful women on the red carpet at the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival!"

"Former Golden Lion director Jia Zhangke failed to gain anything from his trip to Venice."

"In an interview with domestic media, Andy Lau expressed regret that he failed to win the Best Actor, but at the same time congratulated Director Chen for winning the Golden Lion. He said the film was worthy."

"..."

Chen Dong won the Golden Lion this time in Venice.

As a result, domestic media websites were flooded with relevant news overnight.

On this day, the movie tickets for "Kan'er" were sold out, and many theaters even urgently increased their film schedules.

Some media predict that the daily box office on September 9 alone will be equal to the total box office of the movie in at least the previous three days.

This edition of the Venice Film Festival has come to an end, but the business continues.

Before he won the Golden Lion, the highest overseas copyright for Chen Dong's films was offered by a film company to 750 million.

Just because of the addition of a golden lion, the quotation he received today has reached 1500 million.

Fully doubled.

International institutions do not talk about RMB, but US dollars.

1500 million dollars is not the limit for "Kan'er".

Chen Dong can still receive price increases from other film producers.

Although there is not much added.

But he was in no hurry.

very patient.

1550 million knives.

1600 million knives.

$1620 million...

It wasn't until the afternoon that the overseas rights for the film were set at $1880 million.

Converted into Chinese currency, it is almost 1.5 million.

Excluding the cost of 50 million.

Just from the overseas copyright, this movie brought Chen Dong 100 million.

With fame, there is also profit.

At a certain moment, Chen Dong felt that his next movie did not want to be a blockbuster, but wanted to continue making such award-winning films.

This idea was shattered with a congratulatory phone call from Ye Ning.

After the call ended, he remembered that he had signed a gambling agreement with Wanda to direct two blockbusters in six years.

Although Wanda had previously waived one film in order to obtain the investment share of "Inception", there is still one film that it did not.

However, Chen Dong felt that the two scripts he took out as a bet at that time were not considered 'blockbusters'. Well, at least now, just investing one or two billion in them would not be considered a blockbuster for Chen Dong.

Because he has directed a movie like "Inception" with a production cost of over 12 billion, and he just won a Golden Lion Award, Chen Dong's heart is a little wild and a little big.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

“An idea pops into my head and I write it out.”

"New script?" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and she immediately came over.

""Interstellar"."

Looking at these four words, the first reaction in Ms. Liu's mind was - this is a science fiction film.

"Earth's crops often fail due to climate change and blight. The male protagonist, who was a NASA engineer and space shuttle pilot, is forced to become a farmer to help solve the food crisis..." "Interstellar", narrated It is the adventure story of a group of astronauts who travel through a wormhole to find a new home for mankind.

Like "Inception", they are both Nolan's movies.

Although it may seem a bit immoral to catch someone harvesting wool, morality is actually easier to earn than money.

As long as you have a thick skin.

Unfortunately, Chen Dong is this kind of person.

"Interstellar" is one of Chen Dong's favorite science fiction blockbusters. In order to study this movie, he visited it dozens of times.

It can be said that even without the golden finger of super memory.

He can also restore the script of this movie.

So now when I use World to write scripts, I feel like I have a god when I start writing.

Liu Yifei found that her reading speed could not keep up with Chen Dong's typing speed, and she was dumbfounded.

"Husband, why are you so fast?"

"Hey, hey, this must be said clearly. What are you doing quickly?"

"Typing is fast, writing scripts is fast, you don't need to think?"

"Have you ever heard of a saying called the spring of literary thoughts?"

While Chen Dong was communicating with his wife, the movements of his hands did not stop at all.

And Liu Yifei no longer plans to catch up with the updates in real time because her eyes can't keep up.

In less than two hours, Chen Dong typed out the script for "Interstellar".

It's a little rough, but it's getting late now. Chen Dong is going to refine it on the plane back to China tomorrow morning.

But when Liu Yifei saw that he had finished writing, she insisted on reading it now.

"Aren't you tired, wife? Let's see tomorrow."

"No, I won't be able to sleep tonight until I finish watching it... Husband, you go to bed first."

Chen Dong knew his wife's temper well and knew that it would be useless to persuade her at this time.

So I lay on the bed and waited for her...

After waiting, I waited directly for the alarm clock for the next day.

"Husband, why don't you set the background of the story in the motherland?"

The reason why Liu Yifei had such a problem was that when she was reading the script last night, she put herself into the perspective of the hero's daughter Murphy, and then she found that she fell in love with this character directly.

But the problem is that Murphy is a white girl.

Faced with this question from his wife just after waking up, Chen Dong rubbed his eyes, and then gave an explanation in a leisurely manner:

"The investment in this movie is only higher than that of "Inception", but how can our country's film market support a movie with an investment of over one billion, so we can only make foreign language films."

Seeing the sudden disappointment on his wife's face, Chen Dong thought for a moment and continued: "If you really want to play the role, my wife, I can change the setting of the heroine for you."

"Don't there be emotional scenes between the heroine and the hero?"

"Just delete it."

Liu Yifei thought about it for a long time and finally rejected Chen Dong's proposal.

"Forget it. If the emotional scenes are deleted from this story, it will lose its color a lot."

Seeing that his wife was not being polite to him, Chen Dong didn't insist.

Because it is true as she said, cutting off the emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists, or even just cutting off the kissing scenes, will make the movie less than perfect.

Wait a minute, you can’t change the heroine’s background, why not change the hero’s?
Even if you don’t change it to Chinese, you can change it to Chinese.

As long as the male lead is changed to Chinese, then Murphy, whose role is not weaker than that of the female lead, can be played by his wife.

On the plane, Chen Dong made some modifications. After finishing the modifications, he turned to look at Liu Yifei, who was sleeping soundly holding his Golden Lion trophy. Instead of shaking her up, he closed the computer and squinted. got up.

　A book friend reminded me that the Interstellar script did appear earlier than the one in the book, and it is difficult to change it. Please ignore this bug, or treat it as a parallel time and space. Anyway, there will be no original script author in the book to criticize. plot
　　bow!
