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

Chapter 389: Han Jianu joins the company and takes her sister-in-law to skip work (Please subscribe!)
China's Mainland Box Office Rankings on December 12:

1. “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”: 3331 million.

2. “The Storm”: 3198 million.

3. “No Man’s Land”: 2893 million.

4,……

The release of "Storm" and "No Man's Land" did have a significant impact on "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", causing its daily box office to drop by another 11 million compared to the th, but after all, it had a lot of blood and still dominated the daily box office champion of the day.

Just according to this trend, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has been the daily box office champion for 12 consecutive days, but it will end tomorrow.

This is because the box office of this movie has been on the decline, while "The Storm" and "No Man's Land" are on the rise.

As expected, when the box office results on the 13th were counted, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" dropped directly to third place.

However, the box office potential of "Storm" and "No Man's Land" was only around 3 million. On the fourth day, they were unexpectedly overtaken by "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to take back the daily crown.

Lu Yang didn’t have time to deal with the three hotly-anticipated movies online. After leaving Chen Dong’s office that day, he flew directly to Shenyang, where he discussed issues such as how to adapt the play “Charlotte’s Troubles” into a film and television series with Zhang Cheng of Happy Twist and other relevant persons in charge until yesterday.

If he hadn't needed to come back to promote "Lost in Hong Kong", Lu Yang would have probably stayed in Happy Twist for a while.

"Director Chen."

Chen Dong was supervising the post-production of "Detective Chinatown" at Dongcheng Visual Effects. When he saw Lu Yang, who looked exhausted, coming in, he nodded to him.

"You said before that you were just going to take a look, but you stayed for several days. It seems that you are interested in "Charlotte's Troubles", right?"

Lu Yang chuckled and nodded, "To be honest with you, Director Chen, I think the adaptation of Happy Twist's play is quite interesting."

After receiving Lu Yang's personal admission, Chen Dong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Please polish the script. I am also optimistic about this film."

Lu Yang had to take the main creators of "Lost in Hong Kong" to Sina for an interview early the next morning, so he didn't talk to Director Chen for long and left.

After explaining some editing ideas to the post-production director of "Tangren", Chen Dong did not stay at Dongcheng Visual Effects for long, because he also had to attend an official exchange meeting in the afternoon.

Xue Xiaolu also attended the exchange meeting. After seeing Chen Dong, he took the initiative to greet him.

"Director Chen, you are here too."

Chen Dong came here alone, and when he saw an old acquaintance, he naturally started chatting with her.

"After "Beijing Meets Seattle", do you have any new ideas, Mr. Xue?"

"My energy is mainly focused on school, so where do I get so many new ideas from?"

Just when Chen Dong thought that the topic had come to an end, Xue Xiaolu changed the subject and said, "But I think Wen Jiajia's story isn't over yet..."

"Are you planning to shoot a second part?" Chen Dong was slightly stunned, but then he was relieved, because he remembered that Xue Xiaolu did shoot "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" later.

It’s just that Chen Dong had never seen the latter movie in his previous life. He had only heard of the name, so he didn’t have a deep impression of it.

Xue Xiaolu nodded: "I have this idea, but it's not mature yet."

"Okay, then once the script is written, if you need investment, remember to let me know."

"Beijing Meets Seattle", which was released during the National Day holiday, grossed nearly 6 million yuan at the box office, earning Chen Dong a lot of money. Although the box office share has not yet been fully paid, the red envelope he gave to Xue Xiaolu has already arrived.

However, although it is called a red envelope, it is actually a dividend given according to the treatment of Lu Yang and Wen Muye. It’s just that Xue Xiaolu is not a contracted director of Dongcheng, so the dividend is changed to the form of a red envelope.

For Xue Xiaolu, this cooperation with Dongcheng Pictures not only brings her the director's fee but also a considerable red envelope, so she is naturally willing to continue to maintain such a cooperative relationship.

"Okay, I will definitely contact Director Chen again once the script is finished."

Speaking of this, Xue Xiaolu thought of the script that Han Jianu discussed with her yesterday.

It was a good script, but unfortunately, Xue Xiaolu felt that it did not suit her style and she was a little sensitive about it, otherwise she would really like to try it.

Later, I chatted with Han Jianu and learned that she was going to polish the script again and then find Brother Chen in front of her.

She happened to meet him here today, so she wanted to help Han Jianu find out more.

"Director Chen, have you heard about Lu Yong's deeds some time ago?"

"..."

Chen Dong: Why does this question sound so familiar?
Oh, he remembered. Han Shanping had asked this question before.

After a little thought, Chen Dong guessed what Xue Xiaolu was thinking and couldn't help but laugh: "Teacher Xue, are you thinking that someone is going to adapt it into a movie?"

Now it was Xue Xiaolu's turn to be surprised.

But she was also a smart person and reacted quickly.

"So Director Chen also knew that Han Jianu was adapting this story?"

Chen Dong nodded.

"Who told you?"

Xue Xiaolu felt that it was not Han Jianu herself. After all, she said yesterday that she would polish the script a few more times before looking for Chen Dong. It shouldn't be so fast.

Chen Dong just smiled, and Xue Xiaolu quickly figured out the truth, "Is it Mr. Han?"

……

Originally, Ms. Han Jia was planning to polish the script in her hand and then come to Chen Dong.

But tonight, I learned from Xue Xiaolu's phone call that Chen Dong had already learned about her "script" from her father.

Han Jianu simply stopped procrastinating.

So Chen Dong just finished the exchange meeting yesterday, and the next day he met Han Jianu who came to the company with a script.

"Brother Chen, didn't Old Han tell you the contents of my script in advance?"

"That's not true."

Seeing Han Jianu heaved a sigh of relief, Chen Dong smiled inwardly: "Although your old Han didn't say it, I can probably guess what you meant."

The reason why it is not 100% is that Chen Dong feels that the script is still imperfect, and the perfect script is in his mind.

Although he thought so, Chen Dong was still somewhat curious about the script that Han Jianu brought.

He waited for his assistant to come in and serve tea before greeting her, "Junior sister, please sit down and let me read your script first."

"Good good."

Han Jianu saw Chen Dong open her script and frowned before he even read two lines. Her body, which had been relaxed, suddenly became tense.

The reason why Chen Dong frowned at the beginning was because of the name. Han Jianv actually named the movie "Real and Fake Drug Dealers".

Although his brows furrowed as he read, he still skimmed through the entire book from beginning to end without saying a word.

"Chen, Senior Brother Chen, how is it?"

As soon as Chen Dong closed the book, his thoughts were pulled back by Han Jianu's voice, which became a little less confident. Perhaps because of his relationship with Han Shanping as both a teacher and a friend, Chen Dong subconsciously regarded Han Jianu as a junior, even though this junior was only a few years younger than him.

And because he was the younger generation, Chen Dong was not too polite when pointing out the problems.

He put down the script and said, "The story as a whole is OK, but there are a lot of small problems."

Han Jianu pursed her lips, obviously a little dissatisfied, but Chen Dong did not notice her little action, and continued to speak: "First of all, the name, even if you are called "Chinese God of Medicine", it sounds better than your "True and Fake Drug Dealer"..."

“Then it’s called ‘Chinese Medicine God’.”

"I'm just giving an example, I'm not saying you have to use this name."

Chen Dong started talking, and without caring whether Han Jianu listened or not, he continued to point out other flaws or logical inconsistencies one by one.

When he stopped, he looked at Han Jianu who was sitting opposite him. He saw that she was hunched over, with a pen and a piece of paper in her hands. The paper was already filled with her notes.

The slight hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes had long been thrown out of the window.

"Director Chen, is he gone?"

"Ahem, no more."

Chen Dong now realized that he had been a bit long-winded just now. Fortunately, seeing that Han Jianu was not impatient now, but instead looked admiring, he was not too embarrassed.

But he couldn't take back what he had said, so he could only soften his tone and say, "How about this, you take the script back and revise and polish it according to the questions I raised today and your own thoughts. I'll ask Kino later to see if he's interested in filming your script."

Han Jianu kept nodding when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she was obviously stunned when she heard the second half.

Because she wanted Chen Donglai to hold the knife in the script, although she knew it was a bit unrealistic, she still wanted to try it.

So, she plucked up the courage to ask:
"Brother Chen, are you not interested in this book?"

Chen Dong could naturally understand what Han Jianu meant, but he did not directly cut off her hope:

"I just finished filming 'Tangren', so I'd better ask Kino first. Of course, if he doesn't want to do it, I will consider it."

Han Jianv got the answer she wanted and stood up happily:

"Then I'll go back and revise the script and come back to talk to you, brother."

After a while, Han Jianu came out of Chen Dong's office. Because she was worried about something, she walked out of the company in a hurry.

Passing by the door of a house with the sign "Screenwriting Department" on it, Han Jianu had already walked over, but suddenly she stopped and silently stepped back.

"who are you looking for?"

Haiyan, who was slacking off at work, looked up and saw someone coming in. She thought it was her boss and was frightened.

It turned out to be a stranger, and that gave me some confidence.

Han Jianv did not answer but asked, "Is this Dongcheng's screenwriting department?"

"Yeah, are you?"

Although Han Jianu is actually much younger than Haiyan, her temperament is similar to Zhong Lifang, so Haiyan is a little timid. In addition, the boss of their screenwriting department was just fired last week, so Haiyan inevitably feels that the girl in front of him is a new boss who was parachuted in.

Of course Han Jianu had no idea of ​​Haiyan’s inner thoughts during this short period of time. She left after saying a few words.

"Thank you. I will be your colleague in the future."

While Haiyan was still thinking about these words, Han Jianu walked out of the editorial office and headed straight towards Chen Dong's office.

"Junior Sister Han, aren't you leaving?"

Chen Dong was also a little confused when he saw Han Jianu coming back.

"Brother, is your company's screenwriting department still hiring?"

"Yes, I've said before that if Junior Sister Han wants to come to Dongcheng, she's always welcome."

Chen Dong personally led Han Jianu to go through the employment procedures and gave her the green light all the way.

According to normal personnel procedures, the process would take about a week, but he completed it all in just over ten minutes.

Han Jianuo was not in a hurry to go home to revise the script, and started working directly in the screenwriting department.

Although she had just joined the company today and was just an ordinary employee, because the boss personally took her to select her workstation, she was tacitly regarded as the new boss of the department by other colleagues as soon as she arrived.

In the afternoon, Chen Dong was preparing to go fishing because he was not busy with his work. However, before he could take action, his wife called him.

"Hubby, bring Changchang home for dinner when you get off work."

"What day is today?" Chen Dong asked curiously.

"It's not a special day, it's just that Changchang had her birthday a while ago, and she didn't celebrate it because she went back to her hometown, so I thought of inviting her to have dinner at home today."

"Oh, have you informed her? Do you want to order a cake?"

"You don't need to order the cake. I've just notified Changchang, she said on the phone that she's very busy at work..." At this point, Liu Yifei couldn't help but complain about her husband: "As a boss, you slack off all day long. Can't you be considerate of your employees?"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Why did he have the illusion that his wife had installed surveillance cameras in the office?
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Chen Dong gave up the idea of ​​slacking off and stood up and walked towards the production department.

He wanted to see what Shu Chang was busy with.

Maybe I will have to take this sister-in-law to the early shift today as well.

"Director Chen, why are you here?"

Because of work reasons, Shu Chang's way of addressing Chen Dong has changed from brother-in-law to Director Chen. Of course, he will change it back in private.

"I heard from Xixi that Changchang, you have too much burden on your shoulders, so I am here to relieve some of the pressure for you."

After all, Shu Chang had just started working as a producer, so she had to learn everything from scratch. The head of the production department knew her background, so he wanted her to strive to be the first producer of Lu Yang's next play, which kept her very busy these days.

So when I received a call from my best friend just now, I couldn't help but complain.

She didn't think much about it at the time, but now that her boss showed up at her doorstep, she realized that she had just done something stupid.

"Director Chen, no, brother-in-law, I was just complaining casually just now. In fact, I am very satisfied with my current job. I love this job..."

"Okay, I came here to call you home for dinner as your sister instructed."

Chen Dong interrupted Shu Chang's chattering, then asked her to hand over the work at hand and prepared to take her to the next morning shift.

"Brother-in-law, I can actually take a taxi there later."

Seeing Shu Chang's serious expression when she said this, Chen Dong believed that she really loved her current job.

However, he still used his boss's authority to forcibly take her out of the production department.

Bullshit! If he really lets his sister-in-law take a taxi and he drives himself home, he will be nagged to death by his wife when he gets home.

As for the first producer of Lu Yang's next play, it is just a matter of Chen Dong's words.
