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

8 month 8 day.

Weibo, "Detective Chinatown" super topic.

The number of posts in it is increasing at a terrifying rate.

"After watching the movie, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt."

"Indeed, Director Chen's comedies never disappoint."

"Excuse me, has Director Chen made any other comedy movies? I remember him being better at science fiction movies."

"Fuck, the person above is a fake fan, right? Have you seen Director Chen's previous film, Nobody? Isn't that a comedy? The scripts for the first two films in the囧 series were also written by Director Chen. Oh, and so was Jiang Wen's Let the Bullets Fly."

"Who is the little girl who plays Snow? I was scared by her devilish smile in the cinema. Damn, it's so embarrassing!"

"Shame on you +1. As for that little girl, her name is Zhang Zifeng. She first debuted in Feng Xiaogang's Aftershock. She is considered a very promising child star."

“Has anyone figured out that Detective Chinatown is actually a tragic comedy?”

"I didn't notice. I was just laughing."

"Haha, the above person is true, me too."

"No, I have to watch it again."

"Go together."

"Go to hell, there are no tickets today."

"Ah? Is this true? From this perspective, the box office of Detective Chinatown has taken off. Do you think there is any hope of taking back the first-day box office record from Transformers 4?"

"You're overthinking it. We still have plenty of tickets in our city."

"Yes, although the popularity of Detective Chinatown is high, it is still a little behind Transformers 4. However, judging from the ending of Detective Chinatown, Director Chen should be planning to make it into a series. I hope that the subsequent films can do so."

"A Xiang smells really good. What's the name of this Xinjiang girl?"

"Dilraba Dilmurat is the newly signed female artist of Dongcheng Films and also the second Dongcheng Girl. These conditions are destined to make her future star journey bright."

"..."

For Chen Dong, the "dirty work" of roadshowing "Detective Chinatown" can be handed over to others without any burden, but after all, it is his movie, so more attention is necessary.

So after finishing filming that day, he returned to his room and spent the entire night reading comments.

These comments include both praise and criticism, but most of them are praise.

After Liu Yifei finished her video call with her children, she looked up and saw her husband still sitting in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard. She was a little impressed by his energy.

"Aren't you tired? You've been filming all day."

"Fortunately."

"What was the first-day performance of Detective Chinatown?"

"I don't know, not yet... Oh, it's already early in the morning, I'll give her a call and ask."

Just as Chen Dong picked up the phone, a call came in.

"Director Chen, congratulations, your movie Detective Chinatown made 1.33 million yuan on its first day."

All along, the domestic distribution business of Chen Dong’s films has been entrusted to China Film Group, so this call also came from within China Film Group.

What surprised Chen Dong was that the person who made the call was actually La Peikang, the current head of China Film.

Of course he knew that this was a way of showing goodwill. In fact, Han Shanping had done this before.

After continuing to chat with La Peikang for four or five minutes, Chen Dong ended the call with the other party.

"Wife, the first-day box office of Detective Chinatown was 1.33 million."

"Yes, I just heard it. Congratulations. Go to bed and get some rest. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"No hurry. I seem to be a little excited right now and I can't fall asleep for a while. How about we open a bottle of champagne and do something romantic?"

"Romantic as hell, go to bed."

"Oh, well...I will obey the order of Goddess Nuwa."

Ever since Wang Baoqiang confirmed that his wife had an affair with his agent, he has been waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to catch a thief and take possession of his possessions, or to catch an adulterer in bed.

To this end, he did not hesitate to create opportunities for them through this roadshow.

As a result, the adulterous couple actually fell for it. No, they were so impatient.

This did not make Wang Baoqiang feel any joy at the success of his plan, but instead filled him with anger.

Filled with rage, Wang Baoqiang flew back to his hometown overnight, called up his trusted relatives and friends, and rushed to the hotel in a rage.

Without intending to do so, Wang Baoqiang successfully led his men to catch his wife and her agent having an affair in the hotel.

In the past, Wang Baoqiang believed that being able to marry a wife like Ma Rong was a blessing from his previous life.

In order to give his wife a sense of security, he handed over all his salary to her.

Now that things have come to this, Wang Baoqiang must of course get his money back.

But what he never expected was that his wife not only framed him, but also secretly transferred his assets to the name of his adulterer.

This is not much better than Pan Jinlian in ancient times.

For the sake of his child, Wang Baoqiang just wanted to resolve the matter as an internal family conflict and did not want to expose it to the Internet and let everyone know. After all, if the news of his wife and agent cheating on him got out, it would not be good for his reputation.

But who could have imagined that they actually did such a dirty deal in private. He was so angry that he exposed the scandal overnight.

As a result, netizens who heard about this big news went crazy.

The news spread like a plague.

On that day, the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" suddenly turned upward from a continuously declining parabolic trend.

It's a bit unexpected, but it seems reasonable.

Because in the movie, Wang Baoqiang, no, the character he played was also cheated on once.

Netizens turned into people of fun and shouted "Key is coming".

"I wonder if Director Chen knew about this a long time ago. He is hinting at Wang Baoqiang in this way."

"I prefer to believe that this is a prophecy."

"Haha, then this prophecy came true too quickly."

"The only regret is that the actress who played Tang Ren's wife should have been Ma Rong."

"Pfft, you are the devil upstairs."

"No, I have to go to the cinema and watch it again."

"Yes, yes, let's go together."

"..."

At the same time, the crew of "Nuwa Legend" is also discussing this topic.

"When Lu Yang was filming Lost in Hong Kong, I remember that Bao Beier's role was originally intended for Wang Baoqiang, but he was tricked out by his agent. I didn't expect that he would still bring his agent with him after going out on his own. I don't know what he was thinking."

"That's not the case. I think it's most likely that he was influenced by someone else."

"But if what Wang Baoqiang revealed is true, then his wife is really a worthless person."

"A vicious woman, that's probably the description of this kind of person. Whoever meets her will be unlucky."

"That's not necessarily true. Then the agent would have gotten a great deal."

"Haha, what about now? What about in the future? Sleeping with someone else's wife and transferring and appropriating other people's property is a crime, right?"

"That's right, a jail term is inevitable." Chen Dong also heard the discussions in the crew, but as long as it didn't affect the work, he would not stop it, because there was no point in stopping it.

But he really didn't expect to receive a call from Wang Baoqiang so soon.

This is a call to borrow money.

It is hard to imagine that a first-line star who is currently popular and does not have any major external debts would be so poor that he cannot even afford the money for a lawsuit.

But this kind of thing happened to Wang Baoqiang.

"Wang Baoqiang's call?"

"Well, his wife used to manage his money, but now she doesn't even have the money to fight a lawsuit."

"Such a good man, his wife also cheated on him?"

"I couldn't resist the temptation..."

"Indeed, there are too many temptations in this world, especially around someone like you, my husband."

"Actually, I can hand over all my salary."

Liu Yifei chuckled, "Forget it then."

"why?"

"You have too much money and it's too troublesome to manage."

……

Although Wang Baoqiang's revelations caused a rebound in the daily box office of "Detective Chinatown", it did not bring it a second spring, so it fell again from the second day.

Another movie released in August is Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times 3". Like "Tiny Times 1", as a fan movie, its box office performance was still very strong in the early stages, accumulating 3.2 million yuan in box office revenue in just one week, but then its performance gradually declined, and it is getting worse and worse.

But no matter what, Guo Jingming successfully transformed from a best-selling novelist to a director with "Tiny Times".

How could Han Han, who was originally as famous as him, sit still?
Therefore, he is also preparing to switch careers and become a director.

The adapted screenplay is surprisingly also his own bestseller.

The name is "See You Tomorrow".

……

The crew of "Nuwa Ji",
After four months of filming, the film was finally wrapped up on August 8.

"Ready, 3, 2, 1."

"eggplant."

When the cameraman presses the shutter button, a final photo will be forever frozen at the moment the shutter is pressed.

However, the number of celebrity actors in the photo is half the number compared to the number at the opening ceremony.

This is because some actors heard that the crew had wrapped up filming today, and they rushed back to attend the wrap-up party, otherwise the number of people would have been even smaller.

The wrap-up party was also held in a grand manner, starting in the afternoon and ending in the early morning, with a wrap-up press conference in between.

……

"The Legend of Nuwa" was already popular to begin with, and with the press conference it held, it naturally became one of two trending searches that night.

"After four months of filming, The Legend of Nuwa was officially completed in Hengdian on August 8."

"According to Director Chen, Legend of Nuwa will be available to the audience as early as the Spring Festival."

Today is also the opening day of the 71st Venice Film Festival.

Three Chinese-language films were shortlisted, among which Wang Xiaoshuai's "The Intruder" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, while Xu Anhua's "The Golden Age" and Chen Kexin's "Dear" were only shortlisted for the screening unit.

However, Xu Anhua is also the chairman of the jury for the Horizons unit of this year's Venice Film Festival.

"My dear, do you miss daddy?"

Chen Dong returned home, exhausted both physically and mentally, but the moment he picked up his daughter, he felt that all his fatigue was finally gone.

"Daddy."

"I'm a scumbag? I'm not a scumbag at all. You can ask your mother about that."

After listening to the conversation between the father and daughter, Liu Yifei patted Chen Dong on the arm with a bit of a smile and explained, "My daughter said your beard is prickly, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, so that's what happened."

Chen Dong touched his beard and remembered that he hadn't shaved for two or three days. It did feel a little itchy.

Chen Dong, who was in a playful mood, successfully made his daughter cry, but ended up getting pinched hard on his waist by her mother.

the next day;

Although Chen Dong really wants to rest at home or even take a long vacation, the reality is that he still has to continue working.

Well, at least he had to arrange all the work that had piled up on hand before he could be at ease and be a hands-off boss.

"Isn't Wen Muye's "Dying to Survive" finished yet?"

In the afternoon, Chen Dong took some time to come to Dongcheng Visual Effects and found that Lu Yang's post-production of "Charlotte's Troubles" was half done, but he always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was Wen Muye's "Dying to Survive".

"I watched his movie, and it's indeed not easy to shoot, but it should be finished by October at the latest," said Lu Yang.

Chen Dong nodded and decided to go and see it when he had time. After all, he was still listed as the producer in the crew of "Dying to Survive".

As for now, he will continue to focus on "Charlotte's Troubles": "Looking at your progress, you should be able to complete the post-production before National Day."

"Yeah, almost."

"Then we can catch up with this year's Lunar New Year movie."

"I originally had my eyes on the Spring Festival schedule."

Chen Dong and Lu Yang looked at each other and knew what he meant.

He smiled and said, "Are you afraid of bumping into me?"

"Who wouldn't be afraid? You have a business worth 20 billion."

"Then you should know that my film may not be ready for post-production before the Spring Festival."

"Forget it, I'd rather not bet on your progress. Let's just release it during the Lunar New Year holiday. It also happens to be in line with the wishes of Zhang Cheng, the boss of Happy Twist."

"what ever."

With only one week left before the release of "Detective Chinatown 3", the application for extension submitted by Dongcheng Pictures finally received a response.

Approved, but not completely approved.

Because only half of it was approved.

That is to say, the extension period will be increased by half a month.

In fact, even if it was approved for a month, based on the box office potential of "Detective Chinatown", it would be impossible for it to take back the highest box office record from "Transformers 4".

At best, it can reach the level of "Lost in Hong Kong".

Originally, Chen Dong was planning to hold a celebration banquet for "Detective Chinatown", but since the film has an extra half month to be released, it would be okay to hold the celebration banquet half a month later.

It just so happened that he could take advantage of his free time to visit Wen Muye's crew on the set of "Dying to Survive".

"You can go visit the set if you want, why did you ask me to come with you?"

"Director Han is idle anyway, so if he moves around more, he might even live a hundred years."

"How can I be free? I will report to the Central Film Studio tomorrow. I am being ordered around by you day in and day out."

"No hurry, go visit the set first and then report back. Don't you want to go see your daughter?"

"I..." (End of Chapter)
