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

Chapter 137 Goodbye Han Dong Liu Yifei emo (please subscribe!)
  Not only has the Hong Kong Film Awards begun to register, but the Berlin International Film Festival, one of the three largest in Europe, is also accepting submissions.

It's just that the deadline for the latter is in the middle of this month. Chen Dong's "Hachi" has just finished filming, and the sample film hasn't even been edited yet, so he will definitely be late.

Fortunately, there is an Academy Award from Hong Kong to help him get the bottom of things...

Ning Hao is not slow in making movies, but he is not fast either.

Ning Hao had previously wanted to send his new film "Green Grass" to Berlin for competition.

He also wanted to ask Chen Dong for help.

As a result, the registration time was almost over, and Chen Dong still hadn't received a call.

He thought Ning Hao had other options.

It turned out that his version of "Green Grass" had just been completed in post-production.

"I'm telling you, Director Ning, aren't you moving a little too slowly?"

Chen Dong complained on the phone.

"Well, I didn't want to send it to a big stage like the Berlin International. I just wanted to improve the quality of the film. At first, I didn't expect it would take so long."

Ning Hao explained the reason and continued to ask: "Director Chen's "Hachi: Hachiko" has been completed, right? When will you come back?"

"It's finished. I'll go back tomorrow."

Actually speaking seriously, Chen Dong didn't have many connections at the Berlin International Film Festival, and he only knew a few film producers.

Not comparable to regular guests like Jia Zhangke and Gu Changwei who have been at the three major film festivals all year round.

But to say that his promise to Ning Hao was just a slap in the face to make him fat, that's not the case.

After all, his relationship with China Film Group has always been good.

You can definitely ask Director Han for help.

Sometimes, favors do work, but if they are never used, then why do I need them?

"If Director Ning is in a hurry, you can go find Director Han. After all, even if I come back, I will help you find him."

"Why are you so anxious? It's only a day or two away... Director Chen, hurry up!"

"..." Chen Dong: If you don't rush me, I will really believe what you said.

The next day, Chen Dong took his director team and the original film of "Hachi" on a chartered flight back to the capital.

As soon as they returned to the company, before they even had time to take a sip of water, Ning Hao and his wife came to the door with a demo of "Green Grass".

"Is this what you said on the phone within a day or two?"

When Chen Dong saw Ning Hao, he teased him first.

Ning Hao smiled and touched the big gold chain around his neck, skipping this embarrassing topic and said: "Ahem, Director Chen, watch the movie first."

"What's the hurry? Wait for me to drink some water, and then go directly to the screening room of China Film Studio to watch it."

There is no mystery about this movie for Chen Dong, because he has the finished film in his mind.

Naturally, I can’t talk about having high expectations.

……

China Film.

Office of the Vice Chairman.

At this moment, Han Shanping was reading the news about Chen Dong's interview with the media at the airport about three hours ago.

Suddenly, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in and said: "Director Han, Director Chen Dong and Director Ning Hao are here."

Han Shanping looked up at his secretary, then at the news on his computer, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"

"Director Chen Dong, Director Ning Hao, and Director Ning Hao's wife are here. They are in the reception room."

……

"Hey, Director Chen Dong, didn't you just get off the plane? Why did you suddenly come to me?"

Han Shanping walked into the reception room, and when he saw Chen Dong, he asked the doubts in his heart in the first sentence.

"Haha, I don't want to disturb Director Han's work. Isn't this caused by Director Ning and Sister Na?"

"Oh? What's going on? Just tell the truth. You young people don't play charades with me, a middle-aged and old man."

Ning Hao saw that Chen Dong didn't speak, so he took the initiative to stand up and explain his purpose.

"Haha, I've heard about Director Ning's new movie for a long time. I heard it's a very good award-winning film."

Han Shanping said, reached out and patted Ning Hao on the shoulder, and continued: "Yes, domestic films must bravely go out. If Director Ning has such courage, we at China Film Group will naturally fully support it."

"Haha, thank you, Director Han."

Han Shanping waved his hand and said: "It's just a little effort. I hope more domestic films will appear on the international stage... By the way, what's the name of your movie? Has it passed the review?" ""Green Grass" was just submitted for review last week. Didn’t pass…”

"Director Han, Director Ning has brought the samples. If you're not busy, why don't we go to the screening room and have a look?" At this time, Chen Dong opened his mouth and added a helpful sentence.

"Okay, I just have time now."

He said he had just enough time, so Han Shanping turned around and told his secretary to postpone some work arrangements.

In the screening room of China Film Studio.

As "Green Grass" played, some old employees, screenwriters and other "idle" people in the factory also came after hearing the news.

……

"Okay, the movie has a good idea and was shot with great care."

After the two-hour movie was played, Han Shanping first commented and then asked Ning Hao: "Where do you find these young actors?"

"They are all children of local herdsmen." Ning Hao replied.

"Well, it's very good. Although these children have never learned acting, there are not many traces of acting at all from their immature faces. It also shows that you, the director, have worked hard, haha."

Some people like to express closeness and appreciation by patting people on the shoulder. Han Shanping is probably such a person.

For example, Han Shanping patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said that he was not only willing to help send "Green Grass" to the Berlin International Film Festival, but would also help urge the General Administration to get the film approved as soon as possible.

"By the way, Director Chen, your new film is also a literary film, right? Don't you plan to send it to the Berlin Film Festival together?"

After Han Shanping finished talking to Ning Hao, he turned to Chen Dong and asked.

"It's too late, we haven't started the post-processing yet."

"Oh, yes, then where do you plan to send it? Cannes, Venice, or the domestic Huabiao, Baihua... or even the Tokyo Film Festival?"

"Director Han seems to have exposed one."

"Which one?"

"The golden statue."

"You are making a Chinese-language film. The Academy Awards only give our country one spot for the best foreign language film every year..."

"Uh, Director Han, I'm talking about the Hong Kong Academy Awards, not the American Academy Awards."

"..."

Liu Yifei has been cautious in everything she does since she found out she was pregnant.

She has stopped doing fitness exercises such as running and yoga.

Then for three meals a day, she would eat nourishing soup made by her mother herself.

This caused her weight to begin to increase at a rate 'visible to the naked eye'.

So Miss Liu has been a bit emo lately...

"Qianxi, is Chen Dong coming over for dinner tonight?"

Miss Liu, who was in a daze, looked up at her mother standing at the top of the stairs, came to her senses, and responded:
  "He said Ning Hao is going to treat him tonight."

The subtext is, I won’t come.

Liu Xiaoli is someone who has experienced it and knows that women are very sensitive when they are pregnant. Sometimes they become emo for no reason because of small details that they never paid attention to before.

She felt that this was the case with her daughter now.

……

"Director Chen, you don't drink?"

"Yes, I won't drink tonight."

"what happened?"

"I will also give Sissi the gift I brought from Xiangjiang later."

"Uh, this...this doesn't seem to be a reason, right?"

"She is pregnant."

"Holy shit, is it true? Oh no, you two are so efficient at work?" Ning Hao was both shocked and envious, and silently glanced at his wife next to him.

Xing Aina received Ning Hao's eyes and squeezed his waist, "What do you want me to do? It's not like I won't give you a child."

Han Shanping also said at this time: "No wonder Director Chen is so anxious to propose to Yifei. That's what happened."

Chen Dong nodded, that's what happened!
  "Okay, then Director Chen, you owe me tonight's drink...eat food, eat food, eat more food."
