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

Chapter 21: Will "Little Miss Sunshine" continue to eat dust?
  The crew of "Lotus Lantern" announced the list of characters. Except for Baihua Fairy, whose beard was cut off by Zhou Yang, the other actors are still people familiar to Chen Dong in his previous life.

By the way, Yan Danchen even called Chen Dong to say thank you.

"Director Chen is worthy of being a director, and he has a unique vision. Originally, the role I was auditioning for that day was that of the Three Holy Mothers, but during the audition, I saw the two directors frowning and shaking their heads. I was so scared that I felt that there was no chance. Fortunately, Chen The director said that my temperament was suitable for Chang'e, so I auditioned for Chang'e with the mentality of giving it a try..."

Listening to Yan Danchen bala bala telling him the audition process that day on the phone, and even giving him half of the credit after it was over, Chen Dong was a little bit dumbfounded.

He laughed: "Senior is so polite. I just said casually at the time that the main reason why I was able to get the role of Chang'e was because my senior's own conditions are good enough. Anyway, congratulations to senior, and I also believe that I can win the role of Chang'e." My sister is the most beautiful Chang'e."

"Is Chang'e the most beautiful?" Yan Danchen looked at the hung up phone and softly murmured someone's blessing to her. She was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

When he came back from the studio last time, Chen Dong got Alice's phone number so that the two could contact him directly about work matters.

"Chen, Mark Turtotu contacted me again today. For a movie script, he has increased the price to 30 US dollars, but I feel that this is his bottom line. Are you sure you want to continue to hang him?"

Chen Dong thought for a while and said: "Okay Alice, you reveal the news that this book is in my hand to Mark Turtotu and ask him to contact me directly."

"Well, okay, Chen..."

The next day, Chen Dong received a strange phone call from across the ocean.

"Haha, you are so anxious, it seems you take it seriously."

No need to guess, Chen Dong already knew who made this strange transoceanic phone call - Mark Turtotu, an actor, director, and producer.

Yesterday, when he asked Alice to reveal his information, he had a premonition that this call would come.

But he didn't expect it to be so soon. He thought he would have to wait three to five days, or even longer.

However, the more anxious the other party is, the more beneficial it will be to Chen Dong...

Press the answer key.

What came from the receiver was Chinese: "Is this Mr. Chen Dong? I am Mr. Mark Tetotu's translator. I would like to ask Mr. Chen, do you speak English?"

"Yes, I am Chen Dong. Mr. Translator, Mr. Mark Tetotu should be by your side, right?" Chen Dong did not directly answer whether he knew English, because he spoke English.

Then another man's voice came from the receiver:

"Dear Mr. Chen, I am Mark Tetotu. I hope my call did not disturb you."

"Mr. Mark Turtotu, I think you made this call after calculating the time difference? It's still daytime here at the moment, so of course you didn't disturb me."

"Really? That's great." After some simple politeness, Mark Turtotu stopped talking about other things and asked directly: "I heard from Miss Alice that Michelle Ann The copyright of Mr. Det's "Little Miss Sunshine" is in the hands of Mr. Chen?"

"Yes."

"Can Mr. Chen resell it to me?"

"Does Mr. Mark Turtotu like this script very much?"

The other party did not answer Chen Dong's question. After two seconds of silence, he said directly: "Mr. Chen, please make an offer."

"30% copyright share."

"NONONO! Mr. Chen, there is no sincerity in your request. In Chinese terms, this is just like a lion talking big."

Chen Dong completely understood the other party's reaction at this time. At the same time, he was a little worried that the other party would be scared away, so he immediately added: "Mr. Mark Tetotu, please be patient and listen to my chips."

"Okay, Chen, I'd like to hear it again."

"I have budgeted for "Little Miss Sunshine" and it requires approximately US$800 in investment funds. Does Mr. Mark Turtoto have any objections to this?"

"Well, no, please continue."

"I will produce the script and invest an additional 100 million US dollars, accounting for 30%... Well, I think this request is actually not a big ask." The other party was silent for a few seconds, obviously still not wanting to share the cake with Chen Dong, and said : "Mr. Chen, I learned that Miss Alice helped you buy "Little Miss Sunshine" from Michelle Andert, but it only cost two hundred thousand dollars, and I am now willing to double it and use I bought it from you for 40 US dollars, I think this is very sincere..."

Speaking later, this Mark Turtotu even gave Chen Dong a nod. Anyway, he meant to tell him that investing in movies is extremely risky, so he should give up when he sees a good opportunity!
  Since both parties were unwilling to let go, this cooperation was naturally not concluded.

However, at the end of the phone call, Chen Dong couldn't help but add:
  "Mr. Mark Tetotu, actually I am also a director in China..."

After the phone call between the two, Mark Tetotu did not contact Chen Dong again.

Basically, Chen Dong also thinks that "Little Miss Sunshine" will continue to languish.

…………

Time flies so fast, and the first semester of my sophomore year suddenly ended after a few exams.

What was Chen Dong doing this time last year?

Oh, I'm filming "Buried Alive" and I'm very busy.

During this winter vacation this year, Chen Dong has no movies to shoot.

But he will still be very busy next time.

First of all, "Buried Alive" has been shortlisted for the Golden Horse and has once again received the same three nominations as at the Cannes Film Festival. As a director, he naturally has to participate in this year's Golden Horse!

Secondly, he has a movie to be released in the middle of this month. Although the promotion and distribution have been handed over to China Film Group Corporation, as a director and one of the investors, he can't really sit back and wait for the result, right?

In fact, before the school even went out for winter vacation, the studio had already received several announcements for him - most of them were talk shows, but one was a quick script from Shonan Channel.

For the latter, he needed to take the main creative staff of "Those Years" with him.

After careful calculation, it is a question whether I can go home for the New Year this winter vacation.

In order to avoid his parents' nagging, Chen Dong got vaccinated with his parents in advance.

On the phone, the second elder was quite open-minded and could not hear any complaints. On the contrary, he was quite proud to hear that his son was so busy with his career.

However, he still did not escape his mother's urging to get married.

When did your last life begin?

It seems to be a university too.

That's fine.

Liu Yifei got the role of Ling'er in "Sword and Fairy". She just confirmed it during the day and shared the good news with Chen Dong at night.

However, the girl's voice was very low, and Chen Dong guessed that she was hiding in bed and secretly talking to him on the phone.

Afraid that her mother would know.

It was as if they were having an affair.

Obviously there is still pure friendship between the two.

But it's exciting.

"By the way, "Sword of Immortal" will be released at the beginning of the new year. Dongzi, you should come and visit us then."

"No problem... Next week's Golden Horse red carpet, Sissi, do you want to come with me?"

"No, you don't have me in this movie, and besides... my mother won't let you."
