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

Chapter 396 Although I am a billionaire, I am not interested in money (Please subscribe!)

JD.com’s opening price came out, which is $20.24.

It's 'only' increased by 10% compared to the issue price.

But its market value is 285 billion US dollars. If converted into RMB, it is already a listed company with a market value of hundreds of billions. In the Internet industry, it ranks only behind Tencent and Baidu.

Of course, if Ahri is also listed, then this ranking will move back one place.

This is not only the "foresight" of Chen Dong, a reborn person, but also a consensus in the industry.

In fact, Ali is already preparing for listing.

"They all said that if you, my husband, were not ranked first on this year's Fox Celebrity List, then the list would be too fake."

"Didn't I already win first place last year? But what's the point?"

"That's true, but husband, do you know how much money you have now?"

"To be honest, I really don't know the answer to this question." Chen Dong used to think that those wealthy people who said they didn't know how much wealth they had were being modest or trying to show off, but now it seems that they are probably just telling the truth.

Seeing his wife looking at him with suspicion, Chen Dong explained, "How about I tell you all my assets, honey, can you help me check it? I'm actually curious about how much I'm worth now."

At this point, Chen Dong touched his chin, thought about it and added: "But I think it should be 30 to 50 billion."

"How come I can tell you're showing off?"

"No."

At this moment, Chen Dong suddenly recalled Jack Ma's insights on money a few years later, so he also brought it out to tease his wife: "Really, I'm not interested in money. To me, it's just a string of numbers."

"..."

Liu Yifei finally couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Chen Dong.

At the same time, I don’t want to continue discussing this topic.

"It's still early today, husband, you can still continue to create."

"No, I decided to keep the rest of the story and finish it when I return home."

"Ah? Why? Don't we have to stay for another week before returning home?"

"I have to work for the next week."

Although Chen Dong has been working for more than half a month, the work he mentioned is obviously not writing scripts.

Instead, he would meet with Director Paul to discuss the investment in Resident Evil 6, go to Warner to see the post-production of The Revenant, or go to Future Pictures to look at the company's financial statements, listen to Alice's work report, or even let the new employees get to know this mysterious oriental boss...

Liu Yifei obviously knew what Chen Dong was talking about. She thought for a moment and asked, "Should we move out of here?"

Chen Dong did not answer but asked: "Do you like it here?"

"Well, it feels pretty good. Although I haven't lived here for long, the scenery here is pleasant, the environment is comfortable, the life is convenient, and the public security is good. I want to buy it so that I can have a home when I come to the United States for vacation in the future, and I don't have to stay in a hotel every time."

If Chen Dong was financially strapped, he might have considered his wife's idea, but since he was a billionaire with tens of billions of dollars, there was naturally no reason for him to hesitate about this small request.

"Okay, let's buy it. This house happens to hold many good memories for our family over the past half month."

"I went to tell my son the good news. It was actually him who persuaded me to buy this place."

"I'll go with you..."

Before Chen Dong could finish his words, the cell phone on the table rang. He could only watch his wife disappear at the door while he picked up the phone.

"Hey Kino, what's up?"

Yes, this call was from Wen Muye.

"Director Chen, we held an audition for 'Dying to Survive' a few days ago. Now the audition results are out. A copy has been sent to your email. Remember to take a look. If there is no problem, we will announce it today."

"Just announce it directly. You are the director and you can make the decision yourself."

"This movie is about a sensitive subject, so Director Chen, please check it out."

"Okay, okay, let me take a look and get back to you later."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong did not follow his wife's footsteps, but sat back at his desk, turned on his computer, clicked on his mailbox, and there was indeed an email from Lu Yang's assistant.

Movie title: "Dying to Survive"

Director: Wen Muye
Screenwriter: Han Jianu
Producer: Chen Dong, Han Shanping, Han Jianu

Producer: Jiang Chuan

list of actors:
Xu Zheng plays Cheng Yong.

Wang Chuanjun plays Lü Shouyi.

Zhou Yiwei, plays Cao Bin.

Wan Qian, plays Liu Sihui.

Octopus, as Peng Hao (yellow hair)
Yang Xinming as Pastor Liu
Wang Yanhui as Zhang Changlin
……

Ning Hao makes a guest appearance as the landlord.

"Without my intervention, the wheel of history will eventually help everything return to its established track."

After reading the cast list, Chen Dong murmured softly to the computer.

Then he put his hands on the keyboard and replied with three words: No problem!
In China, because of Chen Dong’s reply, Dongcheng Pictures’ official website quickly announced the casting list for “Dying to Survive”.

Every time this happens, it is inevitable that some are happy while others are sad.

"Great, they are all great actors, this movie is worth looking forward to."

"Wow, why wasn't my brother chosen? Stupid director, no vision."

"Whose dog is this upstairs? Why is it not tied up properly and comes out to disgust people?"

"It looks like the dog of Wu X's family that escaped from Korea."

"Everyone, be careful not to get bit by dogs. He has a lot of dogs."

"Director sb, you dare to reject my brother? I will give your movie a low score when it is released."

"Look, here comes another one."

"Alas, the world has changed. Stars in the past didn't have so many brainless fans."

"It's normal for a new generation of traffic stars to have a group of fans."

"These are all bad habits brought over from Korea. I think they should all be banned."

"Times have changed. For those uncles and aunties who can't keep up with the new trends, I advise you to quit the Internet immediately."

"MMP..."

While the crew of "Dying to Survive" caused some uproar on the Internet because of the announcement of the casting list, "Charlotte's Troubles", which was prepared by Lu Yang and Happy Twist, has also reached the stage of selecting actors.

But there will be no open auditions for this film.

Because Happy Twist has many drama actors eagerly waiting to perform.

The male lead has already been decided to be Shen Teng, but there was some dispute within the director team over the choice of the female lead, Ma Dongmei.

This is because Zhong Lifang thought that since the male lead had been given to Happy Twist, they should not covet the female lead, after all, Dongcheng Pictures also had female artists. Things were originally moving in the direction of Zhong Lifang's idea, but the actresses Dongcheng sent to audition for Ma Dongmei were all outperformed by Mary, so Lu Yang finally chose Mary for the sake of the movie.

……

"Nolan, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time indeed, Chen."

After the greetings, Nolan brought Chen Dong to the editing room of "The Revenant".

He saw that the film was already halfway done in the later stages.

Leonardo's image on the screen was thinner than the last time they met, and he really looked like a savage who had been hungry for a long time.

"Leon made a great contribution to this film. I heard that you two have already met?"

"Yes." Chen Dong nodded, and continued to stare at the projection screen in front of him: "But the last time I saw him, he was not as thin and... barbaric as he appeared on this projection screen."

"Really? Then it seems that he has recovered well."

"Oh? So you haven't seen each other since the film was finished?"

“No, you know, wrapping up only means the actors have completed their tasks. I’m the director and I’m also busy with post-production. As for Leon, that guy said he wants to indulge himself.”

"Indulge yourself?"

"Well, just hanging out at various parties to seek the joy of alcohol, or chatting about life with those 18-year-old girls in bed."

Chen Dong was startled, then smiled faintly: "It is indeed quite indulgent."

Nolan turned his gaze to the projection screen in front of him. It happened to be a close-up of Leonardo. Looking at his natural acting skills, he couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, putting aside this guy's private life, his acting skills and attitude towards acting are very pious. I have a feeling that he will not miss the Oscar for Best Actor next year."

"Then I wish your premonition to come true."

Nolan smiled and nodded, then asked about what Chen Dong was currently working on.

"I remember introducing you to it last time on the phone, right?"

"You only said that you were creating a mythological story. Oh, I remember you once introduced it to us. That world was called Honghuang..."

"Yes, I am indeed writing a mythological story. The story is called Nuwa Mending the Sky, but I am writing it in the context of the prehistoric system."

“Listening to your story, your worldview is very grand.”

"Yes, so I haven't even finished writing the script yet."

"...I was wondering if I could take a look at the script, but now it seems I'll have to find another opportunity."

After visiting Nolan, Chen Dong called to make an appointment with director Paul. Since the latter was not available for the next five days, Chen Dong used these five days to do two things.

The first thing they did was to buy the villa they were currently renting through a lawyer.

The second thing was to come to Future Pictures, give big cakes to his old employees, ahem, show care, and give new employees a chance to get to know the boss up close.

At the same time, he also made a copy of "The Hunger Games 2" and took it back to enrich his home movie inventory.

In addition, this movie has been introduced to China and will be released on March 3, which is also the day Chen Dong and his family chose to return home.

Well, actually it’s not even two days, today is March 3.
The next day, Chen Dong had a very pleasant conversation with Director Paul, and the pleasant conversation was based on the fact that the investment went smoothly.

Chen Dong obtained a 6% investment share and 30% of the special effects production of "Resident Evil 45: The Final Chapter". He directly handed over the investment share to Future Pictures, so he asked Alice to follow up in the subsequent negotiations. As for the 45% of the special effects production, it was the business that Chen Dong brought for Dongcheng Visual Effects.

"Dad, are we going back home tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Can we go to Disneyland again?"

"come back next time."

"No, I want to play it again."

"Hey, you little brat, are you still messing with me? I'm going to call your mother to teach you a lesson."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Liu Yifei walked in from the door and asked, "What's going on?"

Without waiting for Chen Dong to speak, the son who was about to make a fool of himself and stay immediately changed his face and said to his mother in a flattering way: "It's okay, it's okay, mom, I'm playing games with dad."

In fact, Liu Yifei had just heard the conversation between the father and son at the door, but seeing her son like this, she was not going to expose him.

After all, although she often plays the role of a strict mother in the family, if it is not necessary, she would also like to be a kind mother.

The next day, an international flight took off from Los Angeles, heading for the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the oriental country with 5,000 years of history.

……

"The emblem of the cheating actress Youdi."

"The image of a good man in the emblem has collapsed."

"According to an insider, Hui Zhang and You Di had sex during the filming of Naked Wedding."

Wen Zhang has been quite popular in recent years, especially after the broadcast of Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", his star career has reached its peak.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is at its peak.

But who would have thought that in less than three months, he would kill himself.

As negative voices increase, it is foreseeable that a series of troubles will be waiting for Meng Zhang, such as the endorsement company terminating the contract, the crew not wanting him, a large number of fans quitting, family conflicts...

Although half of today's hot searches are about Emblem's cheating, the other half is reserved for other news.

such as:

"Zhang Yimou and Li An were interviewed by Sina, a conversation between two great directors."

"The movie The Hunger Games 2, produced by Future Pictures, officially hits China today."

"The verbal battle between Song Dandan and screenwriter Song Jinfang."

"The 86th Academy Awards came to an end yesterday. The R-rated film " Years a Slave" won the Best Picture, and Cuarón's "Gravity" won him the Best Director award... Unfortunately, Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" lost to the Italian film "The Great Beauty."

"Directed by Zheng Xiaolong and starring Zhu Yawen and Zho Xun, the TV series adapted from the representative work of Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, Red Sorghum, held its opening ceremony in Linxia today."

"The judge rejected Zhou Xingchi's application to sue Huayi and claim 8000 million yuan, and ruled on the spot that the bet was invalid."

"Huayi Brothers mocked Zhou Xingchi for not understanding movies at all."

……

Chen Dong and his family were very low-key when they went out last time, and their return trip is also kept secret.

In addition, the flight they took arrived in the capital at around five in the morning, and there were no reporters waiting outside the airport, so after the family returned home, half a day had passed, and there was still no news on the Internet.

Of course, paper cannot cover fire.

When Chen Dong and Liu Yifei both came out to promote "The Hunger Games 2", the news of their return to China could naturally be revealed.

However, perhaps due to the lack of exposure of "The Hunger Games 2" in China, or perhaps it was due to the local climate problem, the film's first-day performance was not ideal, with only 1200 million.

In addition, the online reputation is mixed, which means that even if a large amount of publicity is invested now, the subsequent box office will be difficult to increase.

Chen Dong was too lazy to do anything more...
