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

Chapter 360 Second Child, Mother and Daughter Are Safe (Please Subscribe!)

"Kino, are you the assistant director again?"

"Yes, when I was filming "A Man's Martial Arts", Lu Yang was my assistant director, so I have to pay him back."

Today is the opening ceremony of "Lost in Hong Kong". Chen Dong also came to show up. He met Wen Muye backstage and started chatting with him.

"Speaking of "A Man's Martial Arts World", I didn't help you arrange the schedule last time. Did you arrange it yourself later?"

Wen Muye nodded and said, "It has been scheduled. I went to China Film Studio to pick a date after I got the Dragon Mark last month."

"Oh, what schedule?"

"Summer season, August 8th."

"..."

The two chatted for a while before the film's launch conference began.

Since Chen Dong came here to show his support, of course he had to go on stage to be interviewed.

"Director Chen, is Yifei going to give birth? Do you hope it will be a son or a daughter?"

"It's almost time for the baby to be born. I'd love it no matter if it's a son or a daughter. Well, today is the press conference for Lost in Hong Kong. Please don't ask irrelevant questions."

Reporter: "Okay... Wang Baoqiang's performances in the first two Lost in China movies were very good, and netizens had high expectations for him. So, Director Chen, why did you replace him in Lost in Hong Kong?"

Indeed, this is the problem.

But the reporter clearly asked the wrong person.

"I'm not a casting director. You should ask Director Lu this question."

After saying that, Chen Dong handed the microphone to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang had obviously anticipated this question, so he took the microphone and said without hesitation:
"There are two reasons. First, when we contacted Wang Baoqiang, we found that he was not available. Second, Bao Beier also meets our role requirements, so everyone can look forward to it."

Although Lu Yang explained the reason for replacing Wang Baoqiang at the premiere, the media and netizens still insisted that Bao Bei'er had a stronger background and replaced Wang Baoqiang by relying on his connections.

Therefore, many of Wang Baoqiang's fans and fans of the first two Lost in Hong Kong series spoke up for Wang Baoqiang online and called for a boycott of "Lost in Hong Kong".

However, the public opinion had just begun to gather momentum when Wang Baoqiang himself acknowledged what Lu Yang said at the film launch conference through his Weibo account that evening.

As a result, this public opinion was like a farce, coming quickly and going even faster.

Not only that, Wang Baoqiang also revealed that his contract with Huayi is about to expire and he will not renew it.

Many brokerage companies took action after seeing this.

Even Chen Dong received a call from Zhong Lifang at home, asking him if he wanted to contact her.

"Manager Zhong, you should handle it yourself."

For Chen Dong's company, artist management business has never been the mainstay, but film and television production is.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, he never paid too much attention to the artist management aspect.

Almost all of it was left to Zhong Lifang to take care of.

On the last day of March, "The Night the Comet Came" was withdrawn from theaters.

The film grossed a total of 5.41 million yuan in mainland China.

Overseas box office totaled $1.18 million.

The final box office of "The Grandmaster", which competed with it, was 2.98 million yuan, and the overseas box office was less than 500 million US dollars.

Before this, Chen Dong's titles in China were often young talented director and the most popular commercial film director. After this competition with Wang Jiawei, everyone was shocked to find that Chen Dong's attainments in art films had already left a number of domestic art film masters far behind.

In the past, Chinese people did not understand what a world-class film master was, so they equated directors like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang, who are very famous in China, with this category.

However, as Chen Dong achieved more and more honors internationally, the Chinese people gradually realized that people like Zhang Yimou were still a little weaker than the title of world-class film master.

At least, they don't have any impressive results at the overseas box office.

Chen Dong did not expect that after his "Comet" defeated Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster", his reputation would be further enhanced in the hearts of countless netizens.

"A world-class film master? The media and netizens think too highly of me!"

Although Chen Dong seemed to be complaining, he was actually quite proud of himself.

Liu Yifei also strolled into his study room with a big belly, but because she didn't wear glasses, she had to lean on Chen Dong's shoulders to see the subtitles on the computer clearly. After reading it, she also proudly echoed: "I think what the netizens said is right, very pertinent. Husband, you are a world-class film master."

"Since even my wife says so, I will accept this honor with reluctance."

As he spoke, Chen Dong did not forget to ask about his wife's health. "Wife, do you want to sit for a while?"

"No, I'll stand." Liu Yifei rejected Chen Dong's kindness, her eyes still fixed on the computer screen. She saw an interesting piece of news, but the rest was not displayed, so she asked Chen Dong to scroll the mouse.

This is a news about the confirmed cast for the role of Little Dragon Girl in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Many people did not expect that this role would eventually fall to Chen Yanxi.

Although Chen Yanxi was dubbed the nation's first love by Taiwanese media, she has a chubby face. Although many fans regard her as a goddess, she has a chubby face. Although her acting skills are remarkable among her peers, she has a chubby face.

Especially when Chen Yanxi's makeup photos were released online, it caused a wave of boycott.

At the instigation of his wife's curiosity, Chen Dong quietly opened the comment section.

It’s really wonderful——

"Is this the fucking Little Dragon Girl? I'm going to throw up!"

“Yang Guo: Aunt, why is your face swollen?”

"Please, director, please change someone to play the role of Little Dragon Girl. Don't play this Chen Yanxi. I think her chubby face is suitable for playing a maid."

"Li Ruotong's Little Dragon Girl is fresh and refined, Liu Yifei's Little Dragon Girl is ethereal, but what the hell is this Little Dragon Girl played by Chen Yanxi? She looks so rustic."

"If it doesn't work, ask Liu Yifei to play the role. Chen Yanxi is really not suitable for playing ancient costumes. It's too eye-catching."

"Although I also hope that Tian Xian can play the role of Little Dragon Girl again, I'm afraid the hope is very small."

"It's not very small, it's almost zero. Even the best actresses are selected for their roles in movies nowadays, so how can they be interested in such a small screen that relies on old reputation? What's more, she is pregnant again. I don't know how many years she will be out of the screen this time."

"By the way, didn't Director Chen and Tianxian shoot a TV series last year? Why is there no news about it?"

"Boogie Island."

When seeing this comment, Liu Yifei also turned her head and stared at Chen Dong: "Yes, I also want to ask, what about the TV series we acted in? Hasn't the post-production been completed yet?"

"It's already been done. I've been with you all this time, so I've left all the work matters to Zhong Lifang and rarely asked about it."

That day, Chen Dong came to the company and took a copy of "My Love from the Star" home.

The result is that he not only has to supervise the time his son spends watching TV every day, but also has to "supervise" the time his mother spends watching TV series.

On April 4, at 12:10 in the morning, Liu Yifei finally watched the last episode.

He relaxed his mind and let out a long sigh.

But at this moment, she suddenly frowned, and then shouted to Chen Dong who was answering the phone at the door: "Husband, husband, my water broke."

When Chen Dong heard his wife's anxious and painful cry, he had no time to answer the phone and rushed into the room.

But the next second, he ran out of the room again and called the doctor and nurse who lived downstairs.

Although this was not a hospital, when the doctors and nurses were delivering Liu Yifei's baby, Chen Dong, the husband, was still turned away. Soon, Liu Xiaoli, Chen Dong's parents, and even his father-in-law, who worked in the foreign affairs department, arrived one after another.

"Chen Dong, please sit down for a while. This is not the first time that Xixi has given birth, and she just had a checkup this morning. It will definitely be safe and smooth. You don't have to worry too much."

After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, Teacher Yang also echoed: "Yes, the key is that you walk around like this, and it makes us nervous."

Although it was her second time giving birth and everything was normal after the examination, how could Chen Dong not be nervous?

But facing the advice of his two elders, he couldn't just ignore it, so he didn't move, but he didn't sit on the stool either.

Even when he was chatting with his father-in-law, his eyes would look towards the door from time to time.

But just as her mother-in-law said, Liu Yifei's delivery this time went very smoothly, and the time was at least half shorter than the last time she gave birth to her baby.

Outside the delivery room, when everyone heard a baby crying, they all gathered around.

Soon, the doctor walked out of the delivery room holding a baby, and the first thing he said was: "Mother and daughter are safe!"

The moment Chen Dong heard these words, he seemed to be under a spell and stood still.

It was only when his mother, Teacher Yang, pinched him from the side that he came to his senses.

Then he looked at his tiny daughter who was handed to him. Although newborn babies are a little ugly, in Chen Dong's eyes, she was the cutest little angel in the world.

Especially when Chen Dong touched her little hand, it felt like an electric shock.

Afterwards, the little girl was passed around reluctantly by her four grandfathers, and finally returned to Chen Dong's hands. Her father carefully held her in his arms and walked her into the delivery room.

Although Liu Yifei's delivery was smooth and without much trouble, she experienced the pain of childbirth and looked extremely weak at this moment.

So when Chen Dong walked in with his daughter in his arms and saw his wife, the first thing he said was a heartfelt "Wife, you've worked hard!"

Although Liu Yifei was physically exhausted, she was mentally excited. She looked at Chen Dong and said with a smile, "Husband, let me see our daughter."

"Oh, look, her nose and mouth are like yours. When she grows up, she will be as beautiful as you."

Liu Yifei stared at her daughter's mouth and nose for a long time, but couldn't find any resemblance to herself.

But she didn't want to worry about it anymore. Since her husband said it looked like it, then so be it.

At noon, Chen Dong posted the good news on Weibo.

Immediately, there was a burst of congratulations in the comments.

"Congratulations to Director Chen and Tianxian for the birth of their daughter."

"The people of Qianzhou sent a congratulatory message."

"The people of Bashu sent a congratulatory message."

"Zhuo Xun sent a congratulatory message: I want to be the child's godmother."

"Zhu Yawen: Can I reserve a godfather?"

"Tang Yan: Congratulations to the boss and his wife on the birth of their daughter."

"Yang Mi: Congratulations to Director Chen Yifei for having a baby girl."

"..."

Chen Dong posted on Weibo and then left without taking the time to read everyone’s comments.

At about 1:30 in the afternoon, he watched over the mother and daughter until they fell asleep, then reluctantly went to the living room and heard four elderly people discussing his daughter's name.

"Chen Dong, have you and your wife ever thought of a name for my granddaughter?"

Faced with such a straightforward question from his father-in-law, Chen Dong nodded decisively.

"What name did you give it?" asked my mother, Teacher Yang, impatiently.

"Chen Jinyue."

"Which month?"

"Pleasant Yue."

"Chen Jinhua, Chen Jinyue, Jinhua, Jinyue, these are good names, what do you think, relatives?"

Liu Xiaoli opened her mouth. She actually wanted her granddaughter to have the surname Liu, but there was another person named An who didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to make this request.

However, that afternoon, Liu Xiaoli walked into her daughter's room alone and talked to her daughter about the issue of her granddaughter's name and her thoughts.

However, Liu Yifei did not follow her mother's advice on this matter. Instead, she advised: "Mom, whether the child's surname is Chen or Liu, she is still my daughter and your granddaughter. Why do you always worry about this?"

Without waiting for Liu Xiaoli to speak again, Liu Yifei continued, "Besides, the brother's surname is Chen. If the sister's surname is Liu, it might affect their relationship."

Although Liu Yifei's reason was a bit far-fetched, Liu Xiaoli had already seen her daughter's attitude, so there was no need to say anything more.

"Okay, since you as a mother have said so, then I support it."

Liu Xiaoli turned to her daughter and asked, "Are you hungry? I asked Auntie to make you some chicken soup. Do you want me to bring it up?"

"Thank you, Mom. The chicken soup you mentioned is black chicken soup, right?"

"how do you know?"

"Your son-in-law has just brought me a bowl."

"Alas, it seems that now that you have a husband, you no longer need my love as a mother."

"Hey, how about you save your love for dad? He has remained single for so many years, so he must still have you in his heart."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch...Okay, you take a rest first. I'm going to go next door to see my granddaughter."

"Mom, please think about it carefully. By the way, please call Chen Dong in for me. Thank you."

Soon, Chen Dong appeared in the room.

"Wife, you're looking for me?"

"Well, honey, I still have a few minutes to watch the last episode. Can you help me open it again?"

"…The last few minutes were just the hero and heroine kissing in the room. What's so interesting about that?"

"I have to watch it. I have to watch it."

"How about I recreate the scene for you?"

"No, go away..."

After the kiss, Chen Dong still satisfied his wife's request.

But his arrogant look made Liu Yifei feel unhappy.

"Husband, go pick up our son from school and stop getting in my way."

"What's wrong? You're already complaining about me right after giving birth to my second child. I was planning on having a third child."

"roll……"

Seeing Chen Dong fleeing in panic, Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile on her tense face.
