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

Chapter 168: Is Chen Dong’s next movie going to be a literary film? (Please subscribe!)

“Welcome another morning and bring fresh air!”

In addition to singing the first line, Chen Dong also has a separate line, which is, "Beijing welcomes you, anyone with a dream is great."

However, because there are so many celebrities, Liu Yifei was only given a single sentence, which is "Beijing welcomes you, share your breath under the sun, and refresh your achievements on the yellow land."

But she has two chorus lines.

In the early morning of August 8, the official website of the Olympic Organizing Committee updated an article titled 'Stars Sing at BJ8 Olympics Countdown One-Year Anniversary Celebration'.

At noon that day, the all-star singing version of "Beijing Welcomes You" was launched online.

As many as 80 celebrities have performed abroad, which can be called a majestic lineup. As soon as this song was released, it became a household name in less than half a day.

As the lead singer and creator of this song, Chen Dong undoubtedly received the most attention. The most intuitive manifestation is that his Weibo followers increased from 388 million to 500 million in one day.

It's only 07, and this number of fans is more than many A-list celebrities.

Of course, Liu Yifei cannot compare with his wife. Liu Yifei has 2800 million Weibo fans, ranking first on the entire Internet.

Chen Dong remembered that Wang Changtian had talked to him before, and there would be big moves to deal with the vulgarity of variety shows.

I didn't expect the punch to fall so quickly.

On August 8, Chongqing Satellite TV’s “First Heartbeat” was ordered to stop broadcasting due to multiple violations.

The next day, Chen Dong and Lu Yang walked into China Film Academy with "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and heard from Han Shanping that many senior executives of a certain satellite TV station were called to the General Administration for tea today.

Obviously, this is just the beginning.

This frightened many domestic variety shows to start correcting themselves.

……

"How about letting "Xiu Chun Dao 2" hit the Lunar New Year stage?"

After Han Shan finished the film, he looked back at Chen Dong and Lu Yang.

"What do you think?" Chen Dong wanted to hear Lu Yang's advice.

Lu Yang took over the film schedule for the second half of the year from Chen Dong. When he saw that there were three blockbusters released during the Lunar New Year in December, he felt scared.

He smiled and shook his head: "Director Han, Director Chen, this year's Lunar New Year stall is too good, I wonder if it should be changed to a different schedule?"

"Then which schedule do you think is better?" Han Shanping asked.

"September is too late. There will be "Inception" in October. Although there will be "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Yin in November, it is an art film after all, so I think it can be arranged to November."

After listening to Lu Yang's analysis, Han Shanping looked at Chen Dong again: "What do you think, Director Chen?"

"I'm OK."

"Okay, that's November...how about the 11th?"

"OK."

……

This year's summer vacation is really completely dominated by imported films.

Seeing that many domestic movies have finally finished "Transformers", "Harry Potter 5" is coming again.

On August 8, "Harry Potter 11" officially landed in Chinese theaters, seamlessly taking over all theaters' film schedules from "Transformers".

Not only that, they even took away the film schedule of some unprofitable domestic movies, such as Jay Chou's "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable".

……

"The stills of "The King of Kung Fu" were exposed. Nortel's new actor Jing Tian said in an interview: Cheng Long, Jet Li, Li Binbin and other seniors took good care of her."

""Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" grossed 1200 million at the box office on its first day."

"The long-running TV series "Snow Leopard" exclusively produced by Dongcheng Pictures started shooting in Hengdian yesterday. General Manager Zhong Lifang attended the event and said in an interview with the media that Dongcheng Pictures currently has another TV series in preparation, and the project is expected to be launched in September. "

"The script of director Ning Hao's new movie "On the Road" has been reviewed. It is reported that the script was provided by director Chen Dong."

"Congratulations to our country's director Hou Yong for winning the Feature Drama Award at the 2nd Seoul TV Drama Festival."

“The General Administration has officially approved Zhang Xiaohuan and Chen Linchun as the directors of this year’s Spring Festival Gala.”

"..."

When the news changed in August, Chen Dong went to the United States for a business trip.

Not only did I witness with director James Wan that "Insidious 2" won last week's box office championship in North America, I also had a brief contact with people from DreamWorks. In early September, Chen Dong returned to China.

Liu Yifei went to pick up the plane.

A few days after Chen Dong returned to China, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", which had been selected through a talent show, caused trouble.

Even the director ran away.

Just when the outside world was speculating that this crew was going to be pornographic, Li Shaohong took over this mess.

The Venice International Film Festival is being held in Italy these two days.

Although Chen Dong did not go, China Film Group went with his movie "Hachi".

But instead of participating in the competition, we are selling the copyright.

Yesterday, Chen Dong received a call from Han Shanping, saying that a film producer had offered 200 million dollars.

Today is the last day of the Venice International Film Festival. Since "Hachi" did not participate in the competition, it naturally has no chance of winning. $200 million is probably the final transaction price.

At the last Cannes Film Festival, Chinese-language films were in decline. This time, the Venice Film Festival is different. Four Chinese-language films were shortlisted for the main competition.

They are "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Yu, "Help Me Love God" directed by Li Kangsheng, "Detective" directed by Du Qifeng, and "The Sun Also Rises" by Jiang Wen.

Among the four films, "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Eucalyptus has the highest reputation for winning the award.

……

On September 9, Chen Dong walked into the office and turned on the computer.

The news about last night's Venice Film Festival awards ceremony has already spread back to China.

As expected, Li Eu's "Lust, Caution" won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film.

This is also the second Golden Lion that Li Yu has won since "Brokeback Mountain" in 05.

The domestic media has praised him to the sky, even though he is Chinese, even though the topics discussed in his films "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust, Caution" have been controversial in China.

Chen Dong also saw someone stepping on him. It was just for a gimmick and he had no professional ethics at all.

In addition to Li Yu's "Lust, Caution" that shined, Jia Zhangke's "Useless" won the Best Documentary Award in the Horizon section.

Lao Jia is a frequent visitor to the top three Chinese filmmakers in Europe. When making movies, he never cares about the box office, and just takes the path of film festivals.

In addition, although Tang Wei did not win the Best Actress in Venice, this movie brought her great popularity.

Everyone knows that it is very difficult to get ahead in the entertainment industry without resources or background. She has achieved overtaking in a corner.

Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" failed to produce any results, so he once again took his wife and ran back to the country, cursing.

On September 9, "Harry Potter 11" was released, earning 5 million at the Chinese box office.

This year's summer vacation is over.

The era when imported films dominated China's box office has temporarily come to an end.

What, you said there will be "Inception" in October?
  It was a co-production.

Enjoy the privilege of domestic movies.

In fact, the promotion of this movie has already begun, and Chen Dong has several interviews in his schedule this week.

"Snow Leopard" is still being filmed, and Dongcheng Pictures has launched another TV series called "Latent", directed by Associate Professor Jiang Wei from Nortel's Directing Department.

This TV series does not hold open auditions because Jiang Wei had already selected the main actors before the project was approved.

Except for Sun Honglei, the male pig trotter, the other actors are basically from the Nortel faction.

For example, Yao Dazui...

Chen Dong saw the news about bullying him again on the Internet. Although it didn't cause any harm, he looked disgusted.

"Isn't it just a film for awards? It's not like I can't make it..."

Maybe what Chen Dong said at this time was just angry words, but Bao Buqi had already planted a seed.

Before getting off work, Jiang Wen called Chen Dong and invited him to attend the premiere of "The Sun".

The time is July 9th.

"Remember to bring Yi Fei with you." Jiang Wen added at the end.
