  "Did you find Hachiko?"

"Still looking."

"If you find it, remember to send it to me as soon as possible. I'll develop a relationship with it first..."

Wang Jinsong said, considering that there were still children at home, it was inconvenient to suddenly bring a strange big dog, so he changed his words in time: "Forget it, Chen Dong, you should find a place, and I will go and stay with him for a while. time."

"The teacher is still thoughtful, but he may have to feel wronged."

"He has nothing to be aggrieved about. He just wanted to go out for some quiet time."

The lady at the side told Wang Jinsong what was in her heart. Chen Dongying laughed twice, then stood up and left.

After leaving the teacher's house, Chen Dong did not return to the company. Instead, he contacted Zhong Lifang by phone and asked her to send a role invitation to Gong Li's company.

Gong Li has just finished filming Lao Mouzi's "A City of Golden Armor" and is currently filling in the post-production sound for the film.

Jay Chou is also there, and this is the film where he needs to do the most post-production fill-ins.

There is nothing I can do, my pronunciation is not clear, and Mandarin is not as accurate as later generations...

All the talents and skills are focused on music.

While they were resting, Gong Li's assistant came in with a phone.

"Sister Gong Li, Brother Hui's phone number."

Brother Hui, Gong Li’s agent.

Gong Li took the phone from the assistant and picked it up directly without avoiding the other people in the room.

"what's up?"

"Do you know about Director Chen's new movie?"

"Which Director Chen?"

Some words are always more sensitive, so everyone else in the room pricked up their ears curiously.

"Director Chen Dong." The person on the other side of Gong Li's phone reminded.

"Oh, does he have a new drama? I haven't had time to pay attention yet, what's wrong?"

"His company sent you a role offer."

"Is there a script?"

"There is no complete script, only a character script that invites you to play this role."

"Okay, I'll go back and take a look later."

Gong Li put down the phone and saw everyone in the room looking at him, so he smiled and explained: "It's about work."

"Sister Li, I heard it all. It seems that some director Chen's movie invited you... Haha, which director Chen?" Jay Chou asked curiously.

"Director Chen Dong."

"Oh, it's actually the director."

"Jielun, do you also know Director Chen?"

"I don't know him, but I just want to say that he is very good. If I have the chance, I would like to star in his movie."

"Director Chen has a new movie, you can try it."

"I'm afraid not."

"what happened?"

"Director Chen's new movie is a literary film, so I'm afraid he doesn't like my acting skills, haha."

"..." Gong Li was also amused by Jay Chou's self-deprecation, but since it was a literary film, even though his words were self-deprecating, they were also true.

Because of this, Gong Li has more expectations for the role.

The next day, Chen Dong came to the company early in the morning and heard good news.

"Director Chen, Gong Li has agreed."

"Oh? So fast."

"Yes, they asked when the contract can be signed."

"Why are you so anxious?"

"It is said that Gong Li wants to see the complete script as soon as possible."

"What's the problem? Just send her a copy."

Chen Dong almost blurted it out, as if he was not worried about the script being leaked at all.

As for signing the contract, he asked the company employee to report to Zhong Lifang.

Entering the office, Chen Dong's day's work begins with surfing the Internet.

He just opened a website and found that Feng Xiaogang's "The Night Banquet" was on the front page with a box office of 1200 million on the first day.

Scroll down and see that eight out of ten articles were drafts bought by Huayi. Chen Dong instantly lost interest in continuing to browse and simply forked the page.

At noon, the team that had been arranged to go out to find the dog came back and reported to him that a dog matching Hachiko was found.

Chen Dong took a look and found that the Akita dog they were looking for was indeed well trained and relatively humane, so he decided for the time being.

In order for the teacher to develop a tacit understanding with the dog, Chen Dong specially rented a villa.

Gong Li came to Dongcheng Pictures to sign an actor contract on the third day after receiving the complete script of "Hachi".

Chen Dong did not expect that she would also offer to live with Hachigong for a period of time to cultivate tacit understanding and affection.

Of course, he couldn't find a reason to refuse, not to mention that he never intended to refuse from the beginning to the end.

With Gong Li's current status and popularity, it is impossible for entertainment reporters not to keep an eye on her.

Almost from the night she checked into the villa, the scandal between her and Chen Dong's teacher Wang Jinsong had quietly made the headlines of major news media——

"Big star Gong Li had a night party with a male teacher from Nortel." "Gong Li had a tryst with the mysterious man in the villa and didn't leave all night."

"The mysterious man who dated Gong Li in the villa is married! He is a professor from Nortel."

"..."

When the scandal was at its peak, Chen Dong's Dongcheng Pictures, together with Gong Li's agency and Nortel's official website, issued a clarifying statement at the same time -

Not only did the scandal dissipate, but mainly there was a wave of advertising for Chen Dong's new movie "Hachi".

It costs nothing though.

But this wave of advertising isn’t cheap either.

Because Chen Dong owed two favors.

Even if this scandal went wrong, it was not deliberately arranged by Chen Dong.

……

The multi-million dollar batch of filming machines purchased by Chen Dong in the United States finally crossed the ocean and came into his hands.

Thanks to his director team having learned how to use most of the machines with Nolan's team when filming "Inception", now that they are using the new machines, they don't feel unfamiliar.

Otherwise, Chen Dong would have to spend a lot of time training and familiarizing them with these new machines.

……

9 month 19 day.

Today is the date of the public audition for "Soldier Assault". It's three o'clock in the morning, and Chen Dongcai is late in driving his Maybach.

In fact, if Kang Honglei hadn't called him early in the morning, Chen Dong wouldn't have wanted to come over.

In addition to laziness, the reason why he didn't want to come was that he didn't want to steal Kang Honglei's limelight.

"Director Chen, I've finally waited for you to come. Come on, come on, sit here."

"Hey, Director Kang, why did you call me here to steal your limelight?"

"Haha, I, Lao Kang, am willing to make green leaves for Director Chen."

Chen Dong didn't know how to answer what he said.

But he refused the C seat offered by Kang Honglei and sat next to it.

Then the actors who came in for the interview finally looked at him subconsciously at first glance.

Well, whichever position he sits in, even the very edge is the C position.

"next."

Chen Dong looked up and saw his own artist walking in.

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment when her eyes met Chen Dong.

Thump thump thump~
  Is it heartbeat?

Do not,
  It's nervousness.

"Chen, Director Chen, Director Kang... I am Tang Yan, auditioning for Chuntao."

To be honest, "Soldier Assault" is a man's drama, with few female characters, and the scenes are not heavy or even very short.

Zhong Lifang didn't ask Yang Mi to audition, maybe because there was no suitable female role for her in this drama.

Tang Yan is different. She is a newcomer, and she is the kind of newcomer who has just come out of school and has not yet debuted, so she is just right.

……

After Tang Yan's audition, the next person to come in was also Zhang Songwen from Chen Dong's company.

He auditioned and became a talent.

"Director Chen, the actor you signed is good at acting."

After Zhang Songwen went out, Kang Honglei commented.

It is equivalent to saying that the role of Chengcai belongs to him.

As Zhong Lifang said, auditions like Tang Yan and Zhang Songwen are just a formality. As long as their performance is not too bad, there is no possibility of being replaced.

The next one to come in is Wang Baoqiang
  He walked into the audition booth with his trademark goofy smile.

Chen Dong didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that the corners of the boy's face became even more cracked after seeing him.

"Thank you, Director Chen, for recommending me to audition."

Listen, is this thanks?

This is people's cleverness.

But this kind of cleverness will not arouse the disgust of others.

On the contrary, I felt that the smile on this young man's face was simple and his words were sincere and down-to-earth.

"Haha, you're welcome, Baoqiang, long time no see. When was the last time we met?"

"Director Chen, it seems to be the venue for the 03 Golden Horse Awards ceremony."

"Three years have passed. I remember that you also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer with "The Blind Shaft" directed by Li Yang, right?"

"Yes, I am very grateful to Director Li Yang. He was the guide who brought me into the entertainment industry. But I didn't expect that Director Chen would even remember such a small thing."

Compared with that time when I got Chen Dong’s call, I was excited for a long time, and when I went on stage to receive an award, I was so nervous that I was trembling. Now Wang Baoqiang seems to be much more mature.

After Chen Dong reminisced with him for a while, in order not to waste time waiting for the actors to audition later, he also started to let Wang Baoqiang audition.

"Director Chen, Director Kang...I'm auditioning Xu Sanduo."
