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

Chapter 289 A bad news and a good news (please subscribe!)
"What? The Asian female character in "Resident Evil 5" has been approved by Director Paul?"

Li Binbin stood in the office of Huayi President. When he heard the news told to him by Mr. Wang, the expectation on his face instantly turned into disappointment, and then a haze of disbelief enveloped him.

"Who is it? Fan Binbin? Or Zhang Ziyi?"

In Li Binbin's view, these two are her biggest rivals for this role.

Since the character is gone, it must have been cut off by one of her two.

But Wang Zongjun shook his head: "It's not them..."

"Not them? Is it Gong Li? Or the group of actresses from Xiangjiang?"

"No, it's Liu Yifei."

When Li Binbin heard this name, he was startled at first, then opened his mouth, and finally smiled: "It turns out to be her! Although she is still a little unwilling, losing to this great director's wife is better than losing to several old rivals. powerful!"

When Li Binbin received the news that Director Paul had chosen to collaborate with Liu Yifei, several big names in China such as Fan Binbin and Zhang Ziyi, who were her old rivals and were also playing the role of Ada Wang, also learned from their respective channels. got this news.

Their reactions were pretty much the same - envy, even jealousy, but also revealing a hint of helplessness and a wry smile.

Originally, several big flowers had prepared some conspiracy methods for each other, such as smearing, throwing dirty water, etc., but now the roles they were competing for were easily taken away by others, so naturally there was no need to continue to implement them.

Liu Yifei, who was on vacation with her husband and son in Europe at this time, didn't know that because she chose Ada Wang, she had invisibly resolved a 'war' that was about to break out between several big flowers.

……

8 month 30 day.

Paris Airport.

"Dad, aren't you going back to China with me and my mother?"

"Well, dad still has work to do. He will return to China when he is done."

"Mom, I don't want to go back to China either. I want to be with my father."

Liu Yifei said sternly: "No, you will go to school next week."

"Then I don't want to go to school."

"Children have to go to school."

"But dad..."

"Okay, we have to pull into the station and say goodbye to dad."

Chen Dong once again hugged his son who was reluctant to leave, and also hugged his mother, and then watched them walk into the ticket gate until they completely disappeared from sight, then turned around and walked to the waiting gate on the other side, because he also wanted to take the train. The plane flew to Italy, heading to Venice.

On the plane, Chen Dong was a little bored, so he took out his camera and looked through the hundreds of photos taken by his family of three during the week. As he looked at it, a happy smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

On another flight heading east, Liu Yifei wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth while her son was drooling while sleeping. Then she took out a camera and took several selfies of her son and herself. .

The next day.

In Venice, Italy.

As crews and stars from all over the world walked on the red carpet for the opening ceremony, the Venice International Film Festival finally kicked off.

However, the largest group of people present were not directors and stars, but film producers from various countries.

As the chairman of this year's jury, Chen Dong took the stage to complete his speech and then announced the opening film of each unit on behalf of the jury.

"The opening film of the main competition section is "Alps" directed by Yorgos Lanthimos from Greece..." "The opening film of the horizon section is "Trace of the Pirates" directed by Xu Haofeng of China..."

The opening film is not an award, but it is a good 'advertising spot'.

For example, Xu Haofeng's "Traces of the Japanese Pirates" was picked up by many film producers that day because it became the opening film of the Horizon section. Although Chen Dong didn't know if any deals had been made, he heard that some film producers had already offered it. 100 million dollars.

The Venice Film Festival lasts for 12 days. During these 12 days, the jury is not doing nothing. On the contrary, it is very busy.

They are even busier than during the first review, because not only do they have to judge awards during the day, but they also have to deal with various temptations at night.

What surprised Chen Dong was that even though "The Legend of White Snake" was not shortlisted, Juli Films still came over with their movie.

Okay, I'm here to sell a movie, it's not shabby, but Senior Sister Huang, why did you remind me not to forget to attend your movie premiere? Am I the kind of person with a bad memory... No, when did I agree to attend your movie premiere?
Oh, does it count as acceptance after receiving the invitation?
Speechless...

Of course, this was just a sideshow compared to what was happening at the festival as a whole.

Seeing that the closing ceremony was getting closer and closer, the quarrels between Chen Dong and the jury gradually decreased.

This is because the 'candidates' for each award have finished arguing in the past few days due to the different opinions of the jury members. Now it is time for the final round of voting to determine the final ownership of the award.

"The next step is to vote for the Best Debut Film Award. Do you want to raise your hands in support of the Italian film "LA BAS"?"

"There are five votes in total, okay, put it down... Raise your hands in support of the Brazilian movie "The Birth of a Killer"?"

"Two votes."

"On behalf of the jury, I announce that the Best Debut Film Award at the 68th Venice Film Festival belongs to the Italian film "LA BAS"."

In the next morning, Chen Dong and the jury followed the same pattern and determined the ownership of all the awards.

When the dust settled on the final award, not only him, but every member of the jury breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they looked at each other and smiled easily.

"Okay everyone, I have bad news and good news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Chen Dong sat up straight again and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"The chairman is still telling you bad news, the good news should be saved for last." Italian director Mario said.

Others nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Dong didn't try to be too pretentious and said directly: "The bad news is that in the future, our freedom will be subject to certain restrictions."

Scottish-born composer David Byrne put his head in his hands and made a look of pain: "Oh, damn, they can't treat us like this."

"Haha, Chairman, what's the good news?" Alba Lovach smiled.

"The good news is that today is September 9th, and by tomorrow's awards ceremony, our freedom will be restored."

In the afternoon, both the "Sister Tao" crew and the "Big Crowd" crew received calls from the organizing committee.

Because both films were previously shortlisted for the main competition.

This means that at tomorrow's awards ceremony, at least two awards will belong to Chinese films.

Does Chen Dong really have no preference for Chinese films?

Now not only outsiders, but also people from their own country are a little suspicious.
