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

Chapter 214 Lu Yang: I just like being an assistant director (please subscribe!)

When Chen Dong returned to China, the daily box office results of his movie "Kan'er" on September 9 had been calculated, totaling 7 million, exceeding the first-day box office, ushering in the second spring.

Although in terms of box office potential, it should not be able to recoup its original investment, but it can be a little bit recouped.

After returning to China, Chen Dong was very busy.

Busy with invitations to various meetings.

Busy dealing with the media that surrounds him all day long.

He was busy receiving friends who came to take photos with him, the Golden Lion Director's trophy.

Busy dealing with various interpersonal relationships.

No wonder more than ten years later Jack Ma would say in front of the media that he regretted creating Ali.

Chen Dong didn't understand it before, and like the majority of netizens, they thought he was just pretending.

Now that Chen Dong felt deeply, he understood that Jack Ma was actually complaining.

"I'm so tired. I knew I wouldn't have wanted this Golden Lion Award."

Liu Yifei heard this complaint from her husband for the second time. She felt distressed and at the same time felt a little bit dumbfounded.

"Lie down and I'll massage your temples."

"okay……"

Since the domestic Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards were separated, they have been held in rotation year by year. This year it is the turn of the Volkswagen Hundred Flowers Awards.

Feng Xiaogang won half of the awards for last year's "Assembly". Although he became the biggest winner, many domestic media criticized him for being too ugly.

"May I ask Director Feng, what do you think of Director Chen Dong's "Kan'er" which just won the Golden Lion Award in Venice?"

When being interviewed by the media, faced with reporters' digs, Feng Xiaogang no longer spoke casually like he did a few years ago, but considered it for a few seconds before saying: "I haven't had time to go to the cinema to watch this "Kan'er". I will not comment on the film itself, but congratulations to Chen Dong for winning this Venice Golden Lion Award and bringing glory to Chinese films.”

Jiang Wen just came back from the United States yesterday. As soon as he came back, he went to Dongcheng Pictures today.

Even earlier than Chen Dong.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Golden Lion Award is different from my jury trophy."

"Isn't that easy? Just make a movie and get one back."

"That's easy to say. Why don't you write me a book that can win prizes?"

“‘Let the Bullets Fly’.”

Chen Dong joked: "Didn't you say you were preparing last year? Why haven't you heard anything?"

Jiang Wen rubbed his nose awkwardly and said with a smile, "Aren't we still preparing?"

If he hadn't gone to the United States for vacation last time and heard that Jiang Wen had accepted a short film there, Chen Dong would have believed it.

After all, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him left the impression on Chen Dong that he liked to sharpen his sword for three years.

Seeing Chen Dong's eyes that saw through everything, Jiang Wen stopped quibbling and told the story of how he came to the United States to direct a short film by chance, and then promised: "Don't worry, brother. Brother, by the end of the year... ahem, I will definitely get the project of "Let the Bullets Fly" official by the beginning of next year at the latest."

"..."

Chen Dong was speechless: "Forget it, I won't rush you, you should do it slowly."

The more Chen Dong said this, the more Jiang Wen wanted to argue.

After returning home, he began to retreat and draw the movie scenes of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Since variety shows have been vigorously rectified by the General Administration, talent shows that were popular across the country in the summer in previous years have also come to an end this year.

Even Mango Channel's "Fast Man" had a difficult production at the beginning and recently officially announced its suspension.

Celebrity marriages have always been a hotly discussed topic in the media. This month, two couples from mainland China announced their marriages at the same time.

They are Nie Yuan, a 'has-been' student, and Pan Yueming, a new student.

His two marriage partners are Yang Guang and Dong Jie.

Chen Dong also received an invitation from Nie Yuan.

Although he had memories of the future, Chen Dong knew that neither pair had made it to the end, but they still had to go to the banquet.

After all, courtesy reciprocates. Deyunshe is in the process of splitting up again, this time because of the uneven distribution of the spoils... ahem, because the interests have not been agreed upon.

Ying Huang wanted to start "Painted Skin 2" next year, so he called Chen Dong again to discuss the director's issue.

Just at this time, Lu Yang opened the door and came in, and Chen Dong suddenly had the idea of ​​keeping the money from outsiders.

"Director Chen, you are looking for me."

"Well, I originally wanted to ask you to be the assistant director in my new movie, but now I have another option. Would you like to hear it?"

"What other option?"

"Be the director of "Painted Skin 2"."

Lu Yang heard that Chen Jiashang would no longer be filmed in the "Painted Skin" series, but he never thought that one day this pie would fall on his head.

To be honest, I was a little excited at first glance.

But Lu Yang quickly suppressed his heartbeat.

"Director Chen, I'd better choose to be your assistant director."

The reason why Lu Yang would rather be a deputy than start a new venture and become the boss is that he heard that his boss's new movie will be a super blockbuster that will not lose to "Inception".

In Lu Yang's view, although there are not many projects worth one or two billion like "Painted Skin", there are still a few in China every year.

On the other hand, it is not necessarily the case for super large projects with an investment of more than 10 billion, which are rare.

Now that I have the opportunity, why don't I seize it firmly?

"Okay, forget it if you don't want to..." Chen Dong didn't force it: "I'll just find someone else."

Lu Yang heard Chen Dong's muttering behind him, thought about it, and suggested: "Director Chen, actually I think we can let that boy Wen Muye give it a try."

"Him?" Chen Dong admitted that Fumino had talent as a director and was willing to endure hardship and make progress. However, after all, he had just graduated from a bachelor's degree and had almost zero directing experience. Even if he entrusted the crew of "Painted Skin 2" to him, he would still be able to play the role. Do you have to transfer?

"Let's talk about this later." Chen Dong was not optimistic, and of course he did not reject the person directly. He found out that Wen Muye was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and then had a brief chat with Lu Yang about the script of "Interstellar".

When Lu Yang left, his head was dizzy. Of course, he was also glad that he made the right choice.

Chen Dong did not rush to submit the script of "Interstellar" for review because such a big project would definitely require major Hollywood companies to get on board, so he dared to initiate the project.

Before that, Chen Dong still had to talk to Ye Ning.

"Hey, why did Director Golden Lion have time to wander over to our Wanda today?"

Chen Dong ignored Ye Ning's teasing, but looked at Lu Zheng who came out of his office and nodded towards him.

Lu Zheng first congratulated Chen Dong for getting the golden lion, and then said: "I won't disturb the two of you from talking about business. I'll take my leave."

After watching Lu Zheng's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Chen Dong followed Ye Ning into the reception room.

"Director Chen, what is this?"

After the assistant served tea and left, Chen Dong didn't show off and directly put the "Interstellar" project in front of Ye Ning.

"Mr. Ye, take a look first and then talk."

Chen Dong picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip of tea, then looked up at Ye Ning and said calmly.

"it is good……"

Ye Ning picked up the "Interstellar" project book, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked his face became.

Half an hour later, Chen Dong had finished two cups of tea, and Ye Ning adjusted his glasses and sat up straight.

"Director Chen plans to use this project to complete the gambling agreement?"

"May I?"

"I think it's okay." Ye Ning said firmly.

Of course, Ye Ning alone can't count on this matter.

Only the boss of Wanda Group agrees.
