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

"Today, Director Chen Dong and former China Film Group Chairman Han Shanping appeared together on the set of 'Dying to Survive'."

"Zhou Xingchi's new play "The Mermaid" is about to hold an audition for the female lead. Who will be the next Star Girl?"

"Director Wang Anquan was arrested for prostitution!"

"Zhang Yuqi attended the audition press conference held by Zhou Xingchi for "The Mermaid" and has confirmed that she will star in "The Mermaid", but she did not mention a word about her husband being arrested for prostitution, which seems to indicate that their relationship has broken down."

"The total box office of Detective Chinatown has exceeded 13 billion, and it has been confirmed by the editor that the movie has obtained the secret key for a half-month extension."

"The official announcement of Go Fighting confirmed that Director Jiang Wen will no longer be a permanent guest in the third season."

"Dongcheng Pictures and South Korea's SM released a joint statement that EXO boy band member Zhang Yixing and Girls' Generation's face Lin Yoona will both come to China to develop their careers."

"The first episode of 'Running Man' launched by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV received amazing ratings!"

"..."

After returning from visiting the set of "Dying to Survive", Chen Dong finally had time to take a good vacation.

Of course, even though I’m on vacation, I still have to take some time out every day to go back to the company to supervise the post-production of "The Legend of Nuwa".

After all, this movie is his first original work after his rebirth. Even if the high cost is not taken into account, it is worth his spending more time and effort on it.

……

"That laughter reminds me of my flowers"

"Opening quietly for me in every corner of my life"

“I thought I would always be by her side”

"Today we have left in the vast sea of ​​people"

A phone call interrupted Chen Dong's solo for his family. He picked up the phone and saw it was Jay Chou calling. He guessed that the theme song of "Nuwa Legend" must have been written, because they had actually been discussing this topic on the phone in the past few days.

"Director Chen, I got some inspiration this morning, so I made some small changes to the theme song of "The Legend of Nuwa". The demo has been sent to your email. Please listen to it and see if it suits you."

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jay."

"Of course. By the way, Director Chen, Kunling and I's wedding is on October 10th. You and Yifei should remember to reserve time to attend."

"October 10th, right? No problem. Where are you planning to hold your wedding? Taipei or?"

"Paris!"

"Okay, bless you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong did not check his email immediately. Instead, he smiled at his daughter who was looking at him with wide eyes, and then continued to play Pu Shu's "Those Flowers".

"They are all old, right?"

"Where are they?"

"We'll just go our separate ways!"

The theme song of "Nuwa Legend" was tailor-made for Liu Yifei by Jay Chou.

Yes, the theme song is sung for Liu Yifei, after all, she is the heroine.

"How about it?"

After Liu Yifei sang the song according to the music score sent by Jay Chou, she looked at Chen Dong and asked.

"Very good, intoxicating."

Although Chen Dong's comment may be meant to coax his wife, one has to admit that the quality of the theme song of "Nuwa Legend" composed by Jay Chou is really impeccable.

Anyway, a half-baked "Dad Qu" like him can't do it.

It’s like, he can copy and copy and really become a movie master in the movie industry, but in music, even if he copies all the songs he remembers from his previous life, he can never become a music master.

This is also the reason why Chen Dong only writes songs for his wife but never sells them, because he actually feels guilty about this.

On September 9, "Detective Chinatown" was finally taken off the screen after 22 days in theaters.

In the end, its box office revenue settled at 16.5 billion.

There is no doubt that this is a brilliant achievement and it deserves a celebration.

In fact, Dongcheng Pictures had already sent out the invitation list for this banquet.

On the day of the banquet, Wang Baoqiang's arrival still caught some people by surprise, but it also seemed reasonable, after all, he is the protagonist of "Detective Chinatown".

He just looked noticeably thinner and more haggard.

"Baoqiang, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Director Chen, I'm fine. You were right last time. There are no hurdles in life that cannot be overcome. I have let this matter go."

"Well, if you need help, just tell me."

"Okay, thank you Director Chen..."

After the banquet ended that day, Chen Dong was ready to leave. Seeing Jiang Wen still lingering and refusing to leave, he knew that he must have something to do, but he couldn't guess for the moment, so he simply asked directly: "Why don't you leave?"

Jiang Wen rubbed his hands and chuckled: "Um, when do you plan to shoot the second part of "Detective Chinatown"?"

"I don't know. It's still early." As he spoke, Chen Dong suddenly came to his senses and understood what Jiang Wen meant. He smiled faintly and said, "Why, Director Jiang wants to shoot it?"

"That's so embarrassing!"

"???" How can you answer like that? Chen Dong exclaimed, "What a guy!"

But when he thought that this person was Jiang Wen, he felt relieved.

"It's okay for me to film it for you, but I won't sell you the copyright of this project."

Although if Chen Dong is willing to sell the subsequent copyright of "Detective Chinatown" together, Jiang Wen would be happy to buy it.

But of course he also knew that the possibility was very low, so when he heard Chen Dong say that he would not sell the copyright, he was not surprised at all.

"I know, it's like asking me to work for you."

"You can also put it another way, such as cooperation."

In fact, it is indeed a collaboration, because Jiang Wen is not only the director, he is also one of the investors of the film.

After talking about "Detective Chinatown", Chen Dong also asked about Jiang Wen's "One Step Away".

"Have you finished the post-production of One Step Away?"

"I feel that your question is an insult to me. Now please rephrase the question."

Well, Chen Dong already got the answer.

“So when will it be released?”

"November 12."

"Then you're done."

Chen Dong's sudden words completely stumped Jiang Wen.

He took a long time to react before confirming, "What do you mean I'm done?"

"Because your schedule conflicts with Lu Yang's "Charlotte's Troubles"."

Jiang Wen was immediately unhappy: "Are you saying that my "One Step Away" is not as good as Lu Yang's "Charlotte's Troubles" adapted from a play?"

Chen Dong nodded.

"I don't believe it!" Jiang Wen said unconvinced, but in fact he had already begun to doubt in his heart.

So next, he went to Dongcheng Visual Effects to watch Lu Yang's "Charlotte's Troubles" which was almost finished in post-production.

After reading it, he was silent for a long time.

Then he uttered a sentence faintly: "I think you are right."

But when I turned around, Chen Dong was nowhere to be found.

At this moment, Chen Dong has already become his nanny at home.

……

"Mom and Dad, I also want to attend Uncle Zhou Jielun and Sister Kunling's wedding."

"Pfft, who taught you to yell like that?"

"what happened?"

"An uncle is marrying a sister. Isn't this confusing the generations?"

"What should it be called?"

"Call me Aunt Kunling."

"But she asked me to call her sister."

"Okay, whatever."

"Can I go then?"

"No."

"why?"

"Because you have to go to school."

“But my sister can go.”

"Your sister is still young and doesn't have to go to school."

"..."

Liu Yifei found the conversation between the father and son quite interesting and couldn't help but smile.

But she had no intention of joining them. She just walked past them silently, then went into the cloakroom and started choosing clothes for the people who were going to Paris to attend the wedding.

There were many celebrities who went to Paris to attend Jay Chou and Kun Ling's wedding, among whom the largest number were singers.

On the flight that Chen Dong and Liu Yifei took, they met two singers - Naying and Wang Feng!

After all, everyone is not familiar with each other and they are in different circles, so they just need to maintain superficial decency. In short, just say hello.

My daughter was very well behaved. After getting on the plane, she either slept in her father's arms or in her mother's arms. But this time, neither her grandmother nor the child's grandmother came along. After all, she was just going to attend a wedding and could not stay in Europe for a few days.

Jay Chou's wedding for Kun Ling was in a European retro style and was held in a church.

"It's so romantic!"

Chen Dong listened to the whispers in his ear, turned around and saw envy on his wife's face, so he moved closer and said, "If you like it, we can have a Western-style wedding next time."

"Next time? Can we have the wedding twice?" Liu Yifei's tears appeared not because of excitement, but because of doubt.

"Why not? Didn't you watch the Golden Wedding starring Jiang Wenli and Teacher Guo Li?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Dong: "There are still many decades to go."

After saying that, Liu Yifei imagined what she would look like in a wedding dress when she was old. An inexplicable feeling of shame suddenly surged in her heart, so she glared at Chen Dong again.

Chen Dong didn’t know what his wife was thinking, but he just felt a little wronged for being glared at.

He looked down at his daughter and imagined how beautiful she would look in a wedding dress when she grew up, but as he thought about it, he became emo.

After attending Jay Chou and Kun Ling's wedding, Chen Dong and his wife did not return to China immediately. Instead, they traveled in France for two days and visited two of his friends here on behalf of his father-in-law. Almost a week later, the couple boarded the plane back to China.

After returning home, out of guilt for their son, Chen Dong and his wife took their son to see a movie alone this weekend.

The name of the movie is "Guardians of the Galaxy", which is the fourth work in the second phase of the Marvel Universe. It tells the story of American superheroes saving the galaxy.

Chen Dong thought it was a bit boring, but his son liked this kind of movie.

The movie released at the same time as "Guardians of the Galaxy" is called "3D Man-Eating Bugs". The name sounds very sci-fi and like a Hollywood blockbuster, but it is not.

This is a thoroughly Chinese film, with science fiction elements and even promotion centered around 3D.

But not only the special effects, but also its plot can only be described in one word, that is, bad!

At the same time, this weekend, the first episode of the third season of "Extreme Challenge" was broadcast. As a newcomer, Zhang Yixing replaced Jiang Wen and became the sixth permanent guest. Although he was a little nervous when recording the show with the brothers for the first time, the brothers would not miss the opportunity to bully him just because he was nervous, especially the one named Sun Honglei. That's why the first episode of these three seasons created a very good program effect.

"'Go Fighting' has changed its regular cast again? And it's still a little kid."

“Zhang Yixing: Who are you calling a little puppy? Woof woof woof.”

"Hahaha, you guys are bullying my little brother like this, do you think he has no fans?"

"I originally thought it would be boring to have a pretty boy in this season of Go Fighting, but after seeing how badly he was bullied on the show, I actually started to feel a little sympathy for him."

"Indeed, Sun Honglei has always been an inhuman person."

"Although the show is good, isn't it a bit too much to bully a child like this?"

"Kid? You're probably trying to make me laugh to death upstairs."

"It's quite boring to see a little sheep suddenly appear among a group of old foxes."

"On the contrary, I think this combination is more interesting."

"Support the people above, support my brother Zhang Yixing!"

"..."

At the end of October, Wen Muye's "Dying to Survive" was finally completed.

At the same time, the grand audition specially arranged by Stephen Chow for the heroine of his next film "The Mermaid" finally came to an end.

A girl named Yoona was chosen as the lucky winner.

Jiang Wen's original release date for "One Step Away" was December 12, but it conflicted with Lu Yang's "Charlotte's Troubles". Jiang Wen also quietly changed the release date after watching Lu Yang's movie.

Changed to December 12st.

The film earned 3600 million yuan on its first day of release. Compared to its production cost, this first-day performance is only average. However, considering the mixed reviews online, the word average should be qualified as very average. This means that the box office performance of "One Step Away" will not fluctuate much in the future.

At the same time, it was also noted that this would be a movie that would make investors lose money.

3700 million on the second day, 3800 million on the third day, 4100 million on the fourth day, 3900 million on the fifth day...

Facts have proved that the investment in "One Step Away" is definitely a loss. The good news is that this movie still has hope of winning an award, because Jiang Wen sent it to this year's Berlin International Film Festival for an award. No matter how big or small, as long as it can win one, the overseas copyrights sold, plus the box office share, can ensure that investors will not lose too much.

Yu Zheng's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was also aired these two days.

Michelle Chen’s role as Xiaolongbao, oh no, Xiaolongnu caused widespread ridicule online.

The great thinker Mr. Lu Xun once said that this is a worse world!

In this world of comparing bad things to bad ones, there were a few people who talked about Liu Yifei's Little Dragon Girl before. However, after Chen Yanxi's Little Dragon Girl appeared, the image of Liu Yifei's Little Dragon Girl suddenly became a classic in people's minds.

……

"Uncle, I'm looking for Ma Dongmei. This must be Ma Dongmei's home."

"Ma what Meia?"

"Ma Dongmei."

"What Dongmei?"

"Ma Dongmei, sir, I'm looking for Ma Dongmei?"

"Ma Dong what?"

"Uncle, please cool down first."

"Oh, that's good."

……

"Snowflakes are flying, the north wind is howling, and the world is vast"

"A plum blossom stands proudly in the snow, just for the one I love."

……

Because of these famous scenes, "Charlotte's Troubles" increased its daily box office from less than 3000 million on the first day to over 1 million in just five days after its release.

It has established itself as the biggest dark horse in this year's Lunar New Year box office.

Originally, Happy Twist was only a relatively well-known team in the small circle of drama, but with this movie, it successfully made a name for itself and was favored by many investors.

However, Happy Twist no longer needs their investment, because it is too late for them to place their bets.

……

Today, Lu Yanggang took the main creative team of "Charlotte's Troubles" to the business world for a day-long roadshow, and tomorrow they will head to the next city - Shenzhen!
Logically speaking, after traveling around various cities for so long these days, everyone should be very tired.

But some people in the team are still in high spirits.

They are Shen Teng, Mary, Yin Zheng, and Allen...

"Brother Teng, Allen, we are famous. We are really famous. This day has not been easy."

"Yes I know."

"Me too."

"Then why are you expressionless?"

"What expression should it have?"

"I think I should...laugh."

“Haha, haha, like this?”

"Ellen, you're laughing like a psychopath, hahahaha."

"Hahahahaha..."

Lu Yang dragged his tired body past the door, thought for a moment, and decided not to go in and disturb their venting.

But before leaving, he left a sigh: "Laugh as much as you can, you can only experience this feeling once, and the next time, it will not be so exciting."

……

On January 2015, 1, New Year's Day, Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" was successfully withdrawn from theaters after achieving a total box office of 1 million yuan.

Since the investment cost of this movie was as high as 3 million yuan, such box office results are obviously a failure.

The good news is that the name of "One Step Away" appeared on the shortlist announced by this year's Berlin International Film Festival.

But this seemed not enough, so Jiang Wen also revealed his next movie plan.

"It's so funny. Jiang Wen actually 'tricked' the Detective Chinatown series from Director Chen."

"Shouldn't we ask how Director Chen could be willing to give up such a profitable series?"

"Chen Dong: Why are you reluctant? You are all working for me anyway."

"Hahaha, the truth is revealed!"

……

On January 2015, 1, "Charlotte's Troubles" was withdrawn from theaters because the extension of the film's application was not approved by the General Administration of Film and Television;

The final box office revenue was 15.58 billion.

……

On January 2015, 1, the final list of nominees for the 16th Academy Awards was announced.

"The Revenant" received eight nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

……

2015 1 Month 28 Day.

China Film Group, Chairman’s Office!
After La Peikang invited Chen Dong to sit down, he also sat opposite him, then smiled and said, "I thought you were just joking about letting "Nuwa Ji" be released as early as the Spring Festival, but I didn't expect it to be true."

“Actually, I kind of regret it.”

"Oh? What do you regret? I regret telling the truth at that time."

Chen Dong heard La Peikang's ridicule, but he just smiled.

"Are you sure it will be released during the Spring Festival? You don't have much time left for promotion."

"Yes, sure. As for the publicity, the publicity for Legend of Nuwa has never stopped since the project was launched. No, it should be said that it has never lacked popularity."

"That's true. After all, it's such a huge investment, and you invited such a large cast... Oh, by the way, it will be released simultaneously around the world, right?"

"No, I want to use the Chinese market to build my reputation first, and then slowly expand to neighboring countries."

La Peikang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Well, that should be the case. After all, "Nuwa Ji" is a pure Chinese film. It is difficult to be loved by audiences in English-speaking countries from the beginning. If it has dazzling results, they may be more receptive."

"right……"

……

On February 2015, 2, the 15th Berlin International Film Festival came to a close. The Iranian film "Taxi" won the Golden Bear Award... Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" won nothing!

……

On February 2015, 2, Dongcheng Pictures held a grand premiere for "The Legend of Nuwa".

The reason why it is grand is that there are so many guests, but one third of them are role actors.

……

On February 2015, 2, Chinese New Year’s Eve, an advertisement for “The Legend of Nüwa” appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

On February 2015, 2, during the Spring Festival, The Legend of Nuwa officially landed in theaters nationwide.

Chen Dong did not take people on a roadshow, but instead sat at home with his wife and read online feedback on the film.

“It’s a blockbuster, a super blockbuster that belongs only to China. Although I think the plot has some flaws, it is definitely a masterpiece.”

"Congratulations to Director Chen for adding another BUFF to his wife - Nuwa!"

"Oh, my heart aches when I think about how in reality, my goddess Nuwa was married to that bastard Director Chen and even gave birth to two children for him."

"Wow, I can't get a ticket. I'll come here and read the reviews first."

“Can’t get a ticket +99999.”

"..."

September 2, early morning.

Chen Dong received the first-day box office data of "The Legend of Nuwa".

"how many?"

"Guess, wife."

"Guess your sister, tell me quickly."

"3.42."

"How many?"

"3.42."

On February 2, the daily box office of "Nuwa" hit a new high of 21 million.

On February 2, the daily box office of "Nuwa" fell, but it was still 22 million, setting a new record for the fastest box office of 3.55 billion.

On the same day, the 87th Academy Awards held its closing red carpet and awards ceremony. This time, Leonardo finally realized his dream and won the Oscar for Best Actor.

In addition, "The Revenant" also won Nolan a Best Director trophy. It is worth mentioning that Chen Dong also has this trophy.

……

On March 2015, 3, "The Legend of Nuwa" was released for 20 days and earned 30 billion yuan at the box office, but it was not taken off the theaters because it was extended for one month.

……

On March 3, Nirvana in Fire, produced by Dongcheng Pictures and directed by Li Wenlong, premiered simultaneously on CCTV-22, CCTV-1 and CCTV-3, achieving the highest ratings during the same period.

……

On April 4, "The Legend of Nüwa" was finally taken off the screen after 19 days in theaters. The total box office before it was taken off the screen was 60 billion!
The media predicted that no one would be able to surpass this record within five years.

Only Chen Dong knew that Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" would slap them in the face two years later.

……

On April 4, Wen Muye's film "Dying to Survive" completed post-production.

Sure enough, there were obstacles when it was submitted for review.

Fortunately, thanks to the endorsement of Director Tong and his Chen Dong, the film finally got the release license without any trouble.

It is scheduled to be released during the National Day holiday in 2015.

……

On May 5, Chen Dong and his family went to Hainan for vacation.

"Wife, these crab legs are good. Let me give you a try."

"No, I feel like vomiting."

"You're not suffering from heat stroke, are you? Let me help you go to the tent to rest for a while." While helping his wife up, Chen Dong reminded his children who were playing on the beach, "Son, keep an eye on your sister and don't let her get too close to the sea."

"Oh, okay... Dad, what's wrong with Mom?"

"Your mother isn't feeling well."

The two little guys were quite sensible. When they heard their mother was not feeling well, they stopped playing and ran up to show concern.

After Chen Dong helped his wife to lie down in the tent, he went to the car to get the first aid kit.

When he came back, Chen Dong noticed that his wife put her hand on her lower abdomen and stared at him with a smile.

"What's wrong, wife?" Chen Dong didn't react for a moment.

But he was a father of two kids after all, and he had already figured out the necessary experience, so the next second, he asked in astonishment: "You're pregnant again?"

As a mother of two children, Liu Yifei had a more profound experience than Chen Dong, so even without any examination, she said with a very confident tone: "Eighty or ninety percent."

"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? Yueyue doesn't understand."

Her brother seemed to understand and said, "I understand. Mom, you are going to give us another brother or sister, right?"

"Really?" The younger sister's eyes lit up, "Yeah! I have a brother and sister..."

Chen Dong and Liu Yifei looked at each other and communicated with their eyes:

'What should we do with this child?'

"Why not...give birth to the baby?"

"Well, okay, I can't bear to abort it anyway, but Chen Dong, after giving birth to this baby, I will go for a vasectomy."

'Ahem, my wife, I will be more careful next time!'

"Haha, men's mouths are full of lies."

……

The book is finished! (End of chapter)
