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

Chapter 9 Movie Finalist Liu Mama

At the end of April, the Cannes Film Festival announced the shortlist of participating films.

Chen Dong's "Buried Alive" is on the list and has been nominated for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay in the main competition.

But Chen Dong is not the only Chinese filmmaker shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Lou Ye's film "Purple Butterfly" starring Liu Ye, Zhang Ziyi, and Li Binbin is also on the announced list.

The domestic media were like cats that smelled something fishy. They were so happy that they rushed to publish the article overnight.

"The 56th Cannes Film Festival has announced the shortlist of participating films. Two films from our country have been successfully shortlisted. They are..."

"Congratulations to Chinese director Lou Ye's "Purple Butterfly" and director Chen Dong's "Buried Alive" for competing in Cannes."

"Purple Butterfly, written and directed by Lou Ye, is a spy movie starring Liu Ye, Zhang Ziyi, and Li Binbin. It was shortlisted for this Cannes Film Festival and nominated..."

"The film "Buried Alive" directed by Chen Dong, the youngest director in China, and starring Jiang Wen, was shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film Festival and received multiple nominations."

"..."

The enthusiasm for Huang Shengyi's selection as a star girl some time ago has not yet passed. This morning, it was suppressed by the shocking news that Chen Dong's "Buried Alive" was shortlisted for Cannes and won multiple nominations.

The voices that were not optimistic before and even secretly mocked Chen Dong disappeared now.

Instead, there was shock, envy, and jealousy...

Although Chen Dong is not a star, he experienced the feeling of becoming famous overnight on campus today.

With the teacher's care and the kindness of his classmates, it seemed that all of a sudden, those who knew him and those who didn't knew him became warm acquaintances.

Even if Chen Dong is hiding in his dormitory, he will continue to receive congratulatory calls or text messages, and QQ will keep ringing, especially the friend application column.

"Is this the price of fame?" Chen Dongsheng said with emotion after just answering Jiang Wen's call from Cannes in the toilet.

At this moment, another call came in, from Miss Liu.

Since Liu Yifei's "Golden Family" aired in March, she has been approached for more endorsements, commercials, and film appointments, and she often asks for leave every two days.

Not in school today.

I heard that I went out to shoot a commercial.

"Dongzi, you are so busy. I called you three times before you answered."

"Of course, I have now been nominated for the Best Director at the Cannes International Film Festival. Maybe in half a month, I will have the opportunity to win a Palme d'Or from Europe... Haha, why don't you hurry up and flatter me."

"You are so beautiful, but Dong Ziqi really wants to win the Palme d'Or. I will treat you to dinner later."

"Just treat me to dinner? Sissi, you are too stingy...you have to have two meals, no, three meals."

"Hmph, you got me in. It's obviously your turn to treat..."

"That's fine. I wonder if Sissi is interested in accompanying me to the Cannes Film Festival to attend the red carpet next month? All the food and accommodation are mine."

"Ah? Dongzi, are you kidding?"

It could be heard that the girl on the other side of the phone was a little moved.

"Of course." Chen Dong said firmly.

Liu Yifei seemed to be hesitant again, and Chen Dong added fuel to the fire: "I heard that Cannes is still one of the three major tourist attractions in southern Europe. It's such a good opportunity. If you can't go, Sissi, I'll ask Zhou Yang... …”

"I go!"

Miss Liu was tricked.

A proud smile appeared on Chen Dong's lips.

However, after hanging up the phone, he felt a little nervous.

What happened?
  Oh, I understand, he has bypassed Liu Yifei's mother and directly abducted her daughter. Why is it a little exciting to think about it?
  More than ten days flew by.

Jiang Wen called again to urge Chen Dong.

In fact, if he hadn't been waiting for Liu Yifei, he would have taken leave and flew to Cannes a few days ago.

"Mom, I promised my classmate Dong... can you show mercy and let me go to the Cannes Film Festival for a few days? Please, you don't want your daughter to break her promise."

In order not to miss the appointment, Liu Yifei spent several days teasing her in front of her mother.

"You didn't star in your classmate's movie, so what are you doing? Are you going to attend the red carpet?"

"Emm~ Can't you go and have fun? Although I didn't play Dongzi's "Buried Alive", he promised to cast me as the heroine in his next movie..."

Liu Yifei met her mother's increasingly stern eyes. She lacked the confidence to speak and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Just when she thought she might really have to break the appointment, Liu's mother suddenly changed the subject and relaxed.

"Really? You agreed?"

"Yeah, but I have a condition."

"Yeah, mom, tell me."

"I will go with you too..."

Mother Liu's tone paused and continued: "I'm going to see your father by the way."

"Okay, Mom."

Liu Yifei couldn't find any reason to refuse.

She told Chen Dong the good news she had won as soon as possible. The latter heard that Liu's mother would also accompany him. He was not too surprised, but he felt a little guilty. What was going on?

On this day, Chen Donglai asked for leave from his old classmate. Knowing that the student asked for leave to go to Cannes to receive an award, his old classmate not only happily approved the leave note, but also said some words of encouragement.

"Go, have a safe journey, and come back victorious!"

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

Arriving at the airport very excitedly, he met Miss Liu, her mother and a female assistant.

"Hello, aunt, I am Chen Dong, a classmate of Qian Qian's."

"Hello, Director Xiao Chen...I often hear Sissi mention you."

With just one sentence, Chen Dong could feel the mother-in-law's... ahem, Liu's mother's 'hostility' towards him.

"Mom~" There was only a certain fool nearby who felt embarrassed.

Mother Liu ignored her daughter and continued chatting with Chen Dong.

She asked Chen Dong a lot of questions, but these questions would not make Chen Dong feel uncomfortable. It must be said that this person's temper was very good.

However, Chen Dong still felt that Liu's mother was very wary of him.

Or to put it more bluntly, she didn't want Chen Dong to have an idea of ​​her daughter.

It is true that even if he is as proud as Liu's mother, the big boy in front of him can be said to be extremely outstanding.

But the better he is, the more dangerous he feels Chen Dong is.

My daughter is still young and has been protected very well by her these years, so her mind is quite simple;
  On the other hand, the boy became famous at a young age, was ambitious and handsome, and was in the entertainment industry, so he was destined to have countless temptations waiting for him in the future. Mother Liu did not believe that Chen Dong could withstand the test.

At this time, Chen Dong didn't know that he had been labeled a dangerous person by Liu's mother because of his excellence.

Fortunately, he can't read minds, otherwise he would definitely cry out that he was wronged!

Brother is obviously a good man who is determined and dedicated, okay?
