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

Chapter 52 Hanhan Miss Liu invests in JD.com Liu

Last year, Chen Dong received the Best Original Screenplay Award from the Cannes Film Festival, and Nortel held a banner for him. This year, he brought back a Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution from the Berlin International Film Festival, and Nortel also held a banner for him. banner.

It's a pity that Chen Dong started running road shows right after he came back from Berlin and didn't have time to go back to school.

Of course he knew about this, and Laoban even teased him on the phone to bring back the Best Screenplay Award from the Venice Film Festival next year.

"Haha, can't it be a Golden Lion Award? It's also a Silver Lion Award again. After all, in addition to being a screenwriter, I'm also a director."

After "The Tuner" made 1227 million at the box office on its first day, it did not fall back. Instead, it continued to advance rapidly, earning 4000 million in three days. Such a speed of making money was not only shocking and envious for film and television companies in the industry, but also for many listed companies. Everyone was jealous.

It was under the cover of the high popularity of "The Tuner" that almost no one noticed that Chen Dong's new movie script had been reviewed.

"Dongzi, didn't you say you would bring me a gift when you came back from Berlin? Why can't I even see you..."

Listening to Miss Liu's slightly naughty question on the phone, he also smiled and joked: "I don't know how to see. I am running a road show. How can I have time to give you the gift?"

"Huh? Then I'll come here to find trouble?"

"How come?"

"Secretly."

"...Forget it, your mother was originally worried that I would abduct you. If you sneak into my place again, auntie must not guard against me like a thief next time."

"Hehe, no, actually mom's impression of you... isn't bad."

"not bad?"

"Uh-huh."

"Auntie, aren't you worried about me kidnapping the cabbage she has raised for seventeen years?"

"I'm so embarrassed... I'm a cabbage, are you a pig? Besides, mom doesn't know our relationship. Every time I talk to you on the phone at home, I always say it's Chang Chang, hehe."

"Auntie, you don't have any doubts?"

"Yeah, mom, she respects my privacy."

"...Okay, let's do this for now. I'm going to be busy here. I'll bring you the gift when I get back to school."

"Hey, okay, then go ahead and get busy. I'm going to have dance lessons soon."

Just after finishing the phone call with Miss Liu, Chen Dong saw Jiang Wen and dialed again.

Day after day, his cell phone never stopped.

As he walked towards the nanny car, he pressed the answer button.

As soon as he was connected, he heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from the receiver and had to put the phone away.

"Haha, thank you, Director Chen, for helping my brother make a fortune..."

Just when Chen Dong thought Jiang Wen was just thanking him, the other party changed the subject and asked him if he still needed manpower for the road show?
  "Brother Jiang Wen is coming?"

"Welcome?"

"Haha, that's very welcome."

The next day, Jiang Wen joined the road show team.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and "The Tuner" has been in theaters for one week, with a total box office of 96 million.

On the eighth day, the daily box office dropped by 10 million for the first time to only 9.8 million.

However, "The Tuner" achieved the achievement of breaking 100 million in eight days, one day ahead of Zhang Yimou's "Hero".

Some time ago, the gambling agreement that Chen Dong proposed to Ye Ning was taken back by the latter, compiled into a document, and submitted to Wanda Group.

To this end, Wanda Group also held a board meeting. More than half of the directors at the meeting had a negative view of the gambling agreement, so it was not passed.

However, Chairman Lao Wang was a little moved. He found out that Chen Dong had a movie that would be released in the near future, so he didn't ask Ye Ning to reply as soon as possible, thinking to wait and see.

Today, "The Tuner" has been in theaters for eight days and has grossed over 100 million in box office. The most important thing is that the discussion, popularity, topics, and influence this movie has caused are extraordinary. Imagine if Wanda could have invested a share in the stock market now. It will definitely rise.

So today, Lao Wang held another board meeting.

The same topic was still discussed, but today, the opposition from the directors at the meeting was much smaller.

However, some directors suggested that since it is a bet, the 12% shareholding should be increased to 13%.

"13%?"

Chen Dong never received a reply from Ye Ning, and he almost guessed that the other party was waiting for the release of "The Tuner".

Now that "The Tuner" is a hit at the box office and word-of-mouth, it's not surprising that Ye Ning came to visit him. He just changed the 12% to 13%. What does this mean? Thinking that if he loses, he can take away his Dongcheng Pictures.

Although Chen Dong also covets Wanda's theater chain, he prides himself on showing enough sincerity and thinking about win-win cooperation.

But what about Wanda? He actually wanted to swallow up his Dongcheng Pictures, although this was under the premise that he completely lost the gambling agreement.

"Mr. Ye, I cannot accept 13%."

Even if Chen Dong feels that the two movies he used to participate in the gambling agreement will not lose, at least the possibility of losing both movies is extremely slim.

He still won't agree because this is no longer a fair gambling agreement.

At least for Chen Dong, it's not fair.

Seeing Chen Dong's refusal, Ye Ning didn't seem to give in, so she started to defend herself, but was interrupted by Chen Dong: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, if your company insists on insisting on 13%, then I think there is no need for you and me to waste any more time." The discussion continues.”

"Okay, I will go back and discuss this with the 'major shareholder' again, and then give Director Chen a reply."

"Row……"

Chen Dong stood up to see him off. In fact, he was not in a hurry. After all, Wanda Cinema Chain was just established this year. It would take at least several years to grow into the largest cinema chain in the country.

However, the business license of Dongfeng Angel Investment Company has been applied for. According to Liu Haodong, several venture capital companies have been contacting him during this period.

There is an idiom that changes come later. Chen Dong did not want the business opportunities he found to go to waste for others to intercept.

So in order to raise funds for JD.com as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to poach two accountants from Dongcheng Pictures, and was scolded by Zhong Lifang.

"Director Chen, you are so good. You even dug into your own company's accountant."

"Ahem, there's nothing we can do. It's urgent. Manager Zhong will forgive me and we'll just hire two more."

"Haha, that's putting it lightly, recruiting two more? How can experienced accountants be so easy to recruit? They are all the treasures of the company..."

Chen Dong had heard from employees that Zhong Lifang was very sharp-tongued, and he had learned the lesson today.

There is a company license, sufficient funds, financial personnel, and legal counsel... Once all the prerequisite work is fully prepared, the financing is just a matter of the two parties spending a morning sitting down and signing a few contracts. .

"Haha, Mr. Liu, we will be business partners from now on. I believe that under your helm, the JD.com ship will be able to sail across the sea."

"If you want to ride the wind and waves, you need the concerted efforts of the crew, so Director Chen, don't think about being a hands-off shopkeeper, hahaha."

"That's right, when it's time to contribute, I will definitely do it."

During the banquet, JD.com Liu also congratulated Chen Dong on the box office success of his movie.

The next day, Chen Dong walked into the Nortel campus with a 'gift' promised to someone...
