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

Chapter 257 I just believe in my wife’s box office appeal (please subscribe!)

"Hawthorn Tree Love" finally achieved a box office of 1.44 million, making Zhou Dongyu, an "ordinary" high school student, "overnight famous".

Zhang Yimou was interviewed by the media and expressed regret that his film did not win an award at the Busan Film Festival. He also revealed that the film has been registered for the next Berlin International Film Festival.

"Husband, you are also planning to send our movie to Berlin, right?"

Liu Yifei saw Zhang Yimou's interview, so she looked up at Chen Dong who was building blocks with his son and asked.

"Yes, send it to the Berlin Film Festival."

Chen Dong caught his wife's gaze and replied to her, then continued playing games with his son.

In fact, don't mention it, this game he didn't play when he was a child is quite interesting.

But after playing for a while, he remembered something, and then said: "By the way, the post-production of "Hearing Girl" will be almost ready tomorrow. Wife, do you want to go and take a look?"

"So fast!" Liu Yifei was surprised, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then I'll come over in the afternoon. There will be an endorsement event in the morning."

"it is good……"

The next day, Liu Yifei watched "Hearing Girl" at Dongcheng Pictures, and she couldn't believe that she had made such great progress.

"Husband, will my acting skills be like this in the future?"

Facing his wife's somewhat innocent question, Chen Dong didn't know how to answer for a while.

And his hesitation, in Liu Yifei's eyes, had already told her the answer in disguise.

After being lost for a moment, the optimist Liu quickly forgot about this unpleasant problem.

I watched this movie, which is the pinnacle of my acting skills, over and over again...

That night, the results of the Tokyo Film Festival awards ceremony were reported back to China. Wang Qianyuan won the Best Actor and Fan Binbin won the Best Actress.

However, due to the issues involved in this Tokyo Film Festival, China Film Group announced the next day that Chinese films would withdraw from the Tokyo Film Festival.

For a moment, both Wang Qianyuan and Fan Binbin felt that the trophy they received was a bit hot to the touch.

Today, "Water Margin" wrapped up, and Chen Dong came to attend the wrapping banquet.

He didn't expect there would be a bunch of reporters at the scene.

"Director Chen, I heard that Director Li has joined Dongcheng Pictures. Is this news true?"

"It's true. Dongcheng is honored to have an excellent TV drama director like Director Li join us."

"I heard that Director Chen's new film is a film competing for awards. Have you finished the post-production? Which film festival do you plan to send it to?"

"That's right, it's a film that is competing for awards. It was made in the later stage and was sent for review the day before yesterday. As for the film festival, I plan to sign up for this Berlin edition..."

As expected by Chen Dong, after he announced that his film would be sent to Berlin, he did not escape the comparison with Lao Mouzi's "Love at the Hawthorn Tree".

"Chen Dong VS Zhang Yimou, if I remember correctly, this should be the first time they have played against each other at a film festival, right?"

"This is my first competition, but in terms of literary and artistic films, I think Lao Mouzi is better."

"This is not necessarily true. Director Chen also won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. To be honest, I am quite looking forward to his new film."

"I seem to have heard that Director Chen made this new movie specifically to help his wife win an award..."

"There is a saying, but based on Liu Yifei's acting skills, I don't think she can win the Best Actress Award in Berlin."

"Haha, who do you think you are upstairs? Even if my Tianxian's acting skills are not the best among actresses of the same age, at least they are not bad... and with the help of Director Chen, I can even get a Berlin Best Actress. "It's easy to catch." Are Tianxian's fans just brats? Do you really think that the Berlin Best Actress is a cabbage? If you ask me, newcomer Zhou Dongyu has a higher chance of winning the Best Actress in Berlin than your Tianxian. "

"Damn it, you want to fight, right? Just wait, I'll call someone..."

Chen Dong is not worried that "Hearing Girl" will not pass the review, so he showed up at China Film Studio today to pick a schedule for the film.

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are equally lively, with Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao", Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One 2" and "Laughing in the River", etc.

"How about it, Director Chen, do you want to join in the fun?"

"Dr. Han, please don't irritate me. I am a young man and I am easily impulsive."

"..." Han Shanping: "Then don't be nagging. I'll pick a date for you, December 12th."

Chen Dong shook his head: "Let's schedule it to be released on January 1st. I like new beginnings."

Han Shanping smiled and said: "I thought you were going to choose to release it at the same time as the Berlin Film Festival again. What? Do you mean you don't have the confidence to be shortlisted this time?"

"Haha, I still have the confidence to be shortlisted."

"Why then?"

"Because this movie is my wife's first major female protagonist movie, I believe that her box office appeal will not need to take advantage of the popularity of the film festival."

Chen Dong's reasons left Han Shanping speechless.

After a while, he said: "Although I feel that you are giggling, it seems that there is really nothing wrong with you."

Chen Dong laughed twice and said, "Director Han, if there is nothing else, I won't disturb your work."

"Why are you so anxious? Let's have dinner together tonight... Oh, by the way, is there any way you can get an investment share in the "Hunger Games" project controlled by Future Pictures?"

Chen Dong was stunned, not expecting that Han Shanping would pursue his idea for this project.

"...Director Han, Alice is in charge of "The Hunger Games" and she has already found the investment."

"Have you found all the investment? Forget it." Han Shanping knew that Chen Dong had shares in Future Pictures and heard that the company was developing "The Hunger Games" adapted from the novel of the same name, so he took the attitude of giving it a try Let’s see if we can open up more overseas channels.

But since I was just giving it a try, I didn’t feel disappointed if I was rejected.

Reminded by Han Shanping, Chen Dong learned more about the progress of "The Hunger Games" with Alice on the phone after returning.

When the call was about to end, Alice told Chen Dong a rather 'shocking' news.

MGM, one of the eight largest companies, has $40 billion in debt and their boss is filing for bankruptcy.

The next day, Chen Dong received another call from DreamWorks boss Spielberg, who once again confirmed to him that MGM was insolvent and was already undergoing bankruptcy proceedings.

Of course, Spielberg took the initiative to make this call to Chen Dong, not just to tell him such irrelevant news.

"Spielberg, are you saying that Coco is ready?"

"Yes, after two years of hard work by our excellent team, we finally 'created' it. Chen, you must have guessed the purpose of my call. Yes, I want to invite you to review it and see if there is any Nothing needs to be modified.”

Faced with Spielberg's invitation, Chen Dong naturally had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, "Shutter Island", co-produced with Lionsgate and Leonardo DiCaprio, is about to be released in North America. Even if he didn't receive a call from Spielberg today, Chen Dong plans to fly across the Pacific...
