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

Chapter 191 Mr. Wang’s encouragement to Poet Chen to question (please subscribe!)
The biggest winner of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards is Chen Kexin's "The Movie".

The movie won a total of eight trophies last night.

They are Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Effects.

It’s rare for film festivals to do this, but it’s the norm for Hong Kong’s Hong Kong Film Awards.

"Congratulations to Brother Hua for winning the grand prize."

On the morning of April 4, Chen Dong was sitting in his office surfing the Internet and discovered that Liu Dehua had won the award, so he took out his mobile phone and made a good news call.

"Thank you, Director Chen. There is no grand prize, just a Best Supporting Actor award. Of course I am very happy."

Yes, although "The Movie" won the Best Actor award, it was not awarded to Andy Lau, but to Jet Li.

As for the Best Supporting Actor award Andy Lau won, he won it for the movie "The Disciple".

There are still news on the Internet that are 'ridiculing' him, saying that "The Proposal" won the lottery last night, but Andy was the only one who was "snubbed".

The authorities held a Cannes TV Festival this year, and domestic film and television companies received invitations.

It just so happened that Chen Dong's movie had just finished filming and he was going to rest for a few days before starting post-production work. He had some free time, so he came to join in the fun that day.

"Director Chen, this way."

As soon as Chen Dong arrived at the venue, several acquaintances who had arrived early waved to him.

"Mr. Ye, Director Wang, Director Yu... you all came very early."

These acquaintances are Ye Ning from Wanda Film, Wang Changtian, chairman of Guangguang, and Yu Dong from Bona.

And Mr. Wang from Huayi pretended not to see Chen Dong coming, so Chen Dong didn't call him.

"Director Chen's new movie is finished?"

"It just wrapped up two days ago."

Wang Changtian asked again: "Which film festival are you going to send it to?"

Before Chen Dong could answer, Yu Dong chimed in: "Then it must be sent to the top three universities in Europe, right, Director Chen?"

"Haha, just try your luck. What if I get lucky? Don't you think so, Mr. Yu?"

At this time, Wang Zonglei suddenly said: "I remember that our country has a quota for the Olympics every year, won't Director Chen give it a try this time?"

Although Chen Dong felt that this guy wanted to see his joke, it was undeniable that he hit Chen Dong's head the wrong way.

So he thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me. Maybe I can really give it a try."

"..."

When Wang Zonglei heard this, he felt as if he had punched cotton. He could only say with a smile: "Then I wish Director Chen a great victory."

"Haha, Mr. Wang is so polite. If I am really lucky and win the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar next year, Mr. Wang will definitely have a share of the 'credit'."

It's disgusting. Chen Dong said that he is actually quite good at it.

At this time, Wang Zonglei felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

He also found that he couldn't stand it alone, so he found an excuse and fled the battlefield.

This Cannes TV Festival has no special features. It mainly reviews the achievements of my country's film and television development in recent years. Otherwise, it is more like a platform for interpersonal communication.

However, everyone in the industry knows that Chen Dong's circle is very small and outsiders cannot squeeze in. Therefore, unless he takes the initiative to strike up a conversation, few people will bother him.

Of course, this does not include the media reporters on the scene.

To them, Chen Dong was once again a piece of cake.

After all, in addition to being the CEO of a film and television company, he is also a well-known director, and his wife is also a super A-list actress with the most fans on the Internet, making her a real topic of conversation.

How can you not call media reporters 'love'?

At this moment, he was surrounded by them.

"When will Director Chen's new movie "Kan'er" be released to the audience?"

"Probably in the second half of the year."

"Will you send it to a film festival? Which film festival?"

"Yes, probably Venice."

"Will Director Chen sign up for my country's Huabiao, or the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards?" "It depends... But I just received a reminder from Mr. Wang, and I'm going to compete for this year's best foreign language film quota."

Chen Dong dared to say this, so naturally he felt a little confident.

Because this movie won the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay in its previous life.

Although now it has a different nationality.

It is unlikely that the same results will be achieved.

But then again, it’s just a try, and there’s not much trial and error cost, so what’s there to be afraid of?

"You want to compete for this year's foreign language film quota?"

As soon as Chen Dong came home, he heard his wife Liu Yifei say this and was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

"It's already on the news." Liu Yifei explained with a smile.

"So fast!"

After Chen Dong finished the interview, he went back to take a photo and then came back directly.

I didn’t expect that the efficiency of the media has improved so much this time.

The same surname is Chen.

Chen Kaige's filmmaking efficiency is far behind that of young people.

His "Mei Lanfang" was launched before Chen Dong's movie, but it was completed later.

Director Chen Da also held a special media conference after the completion of his movie.

At the press conference, he publicly stated that his film will compete for the best foreign language film this year.

Journalists like to dig holes for others so that they can have a topic.

"Director Chen Dong also said a few days ago that his new film will compete for the Olympics. Is Director Kaige confident in his work?"

"Who?"

"Director Chen Dong."

Chen Kaige thought for a moment and picked up the microphone again: "I admit that Chen Dong is a very good commercial film director, but commercial films and literary and artistic films are two different fields. Just as many directors who are very good at making literary and artistic films cannot make commercial films, and vice versa. That’s the same truth.”

Seeing that Chen Kaige had really jumped into his trap, the reporter who asked the question was so excited that he quickly asked: "Director Kaige, don't you think that Chen Dong, as a commercial film director, can make good literary films? "Public" is also a literary film, so why did it achieve such good results? Is it just luck?"

Chen Kaige wanted to slap the reporter in the face with the soles of his shoes. At this moment, he didn't realize that because of his carelessness, he got into the other person's way.

The key point was that I was just so excited that I really didn't think that Chen Dong had made a literary film.

How to round it now...

Alas, there is.

""Hachi" is a movie adaptation, which doesn't mean anything. Of course, I'm not saying that Chen Dong can't make excellent literary films, but he is still young after all, and his experience... ahem, I mean, maybe wait If he settles down for a few years and then makes a literary film, the effect will be even better."

Ma De, it made Chen Kaige feel a little guilty.

In the end, his wife Chen Hong stepped forward to make amends for him.

Then he quickly skipped the topic.

As for the reporter who dug a hole for him, Chen Kaige has deeply remembered it in his heart. When the interview is over, he must instruct the staff not to give him red envelopes.

Then, a few hours later, a piece of news with the title #陈凯格Director questioned that Director Chen Dong is still inexperienced and can’t make literary films# appeared on the Internet.

As soon as Chen Dong swiped the phone, an unfamiliar number called in.

When I picked up the call, it was Chen Kaige's wife Chen Hong who called to explain and apologize.

As for why Director Kai Ge didn't make the call himself...well, probably because he is a decent person!
Chen Dong would not be angry because of this, but he believed that there must be many people who had the same idea as Chen Kaige.

As the saying goes, you can win reputation without steaming steamed buns. He really wanted to see how these people would feel if a literary film made by him, a young commercial film director, defeated "Mei Lanfang" or other films competing for the Olympics this year.

Will anyone jump out to question him again?

With this ambition in mind, Chen Dong began the post-production work of the film.
