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

Chapter 56 Goes to the United States for Entertainment Again to Remember Xiaozhuo
  "The project of "Xiu Chun Knife" controlled by Dongcheng Pictures, with participation from China Film, Wanda, Enlight, and Tang Dynasty, is directed by Chen Dong, produced by Chen Xi, and the actors are unknown."

……

"Tangren actually got a share of the investment?"

Many companies in the industry are still surprised by this.

After all, Tangren is only a film and television company with good resources in the field of TV dramas, while Dongcheng Pictures is a rapidly rising film company. Both parties are not on the same track. How could "Xiu Chun Dao" accept Tangren's investment?
  Is it possible that it is unable to attract investment because this is a martial arts movie with an unpopular theme?
  But this is nonsense. The youngest director of the Billion Dollar Club in China has won three victories in three games, and there is no chance that he will not be able to attract investment.

How many film companies want to squeeze in but can't get in.

Just when the industry was wondering why Tang Dynasty could catch the fast ship of Dongcheng Pictures, Zhouyi's official website announced that the second part of "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Li Wei Resigns", was officially approved.

""Li Wei Resigns" is jointly produced by Zhouyi Film and Television and Dongcheng Pictures..."

After seeing this news, many people in the industry also reacted. It turned out to be a resource exchange. No wonder Zhou Yi's first brother Yu Bo can play the leading actor in "The Tuner".

Tangren probably used the same trick to get the movie 'tickets', right? !
  At the same time, Chen Dong had already boarded the flight across the ocean.

As a well-known director, sometimes you can't keep a low profile if you want to. Naturally, media reporters will keep an eye on you all the time.

So Chen Dong had just gone abroad, and news had already appeared on the Internet.

"Why does this guy like to run to the United States every now and then?"

Although he is still only a deputy director of China Film and Television, Han Shanping, who has actually taken a step closer, heard that Chen Dong flew to the United States again. He was really puzzled, but he was also quite curious.

Jiang Wen, who was currently in Xiangjiang and had just secured a large investment from Yinghuang, was more direct after seeing the news and made a call.

As soon as Chen Dong got off the plane and before he could reach the company, a call came from across the ocean.

"I said, why did your kid go to the United States again?"

"I invested in a movie before. It's going to be released soon. The main prosecutor asked me, the investor, to come over and take a look."

"Isn't it that the movie you invested in has already been released... Damn it, you guy invested in another Hollywood movie without saying a word? Is it because the relationship has faded? You didn't even bring your brother or me with you this time."

"Ha... I still worked hard for more than half a year before I got a small share of the investment. How do you think I can bring you along?"

"Oh, what movie? Which company made it?"

"A B-category horror film from Lionsgate."

"Lionsgate, horror movies... I said your kid is not investing in the "Saw" sequence, right?"

"It's a new project called "Dead Silence," but it's directed by the same director as "Saw."

"Fuck you...then you must have made money again this time, and you must treat me later. By the way, you didn't invest in my movie last time, but now I have found all the investment. When my movie makes money, brother, don't complain. Said I didn’t take you to drink soup.”

"Haha, okay, then I wish Director Jiang a great box office success."

"necessary……"

Chen Dong came to the United States to rest for a night, and went to Lionsgate Pictures the next day.

"Chen, this is director James Wan."

"Director Wen, I have watched your "Saw" and the horror atmosphere is very good."

"Thank you, Director Chen. I have also watched your "Buried Alive", which is also very exciting."

The other party was of Chinese descent. After being introduced by a senior executive of Lions Gate, Chen Dong shook hands with him and said hello, so he was considered acquaintance.

Then Chen Dong watched the finished film of "Dead Silence" in the Lions Gate screening room.

Yes, it is more worthy of scrutiny than the original version in Chen Dong's memory. It is true that when he wrote this script, he corrected some flaws.

"Director Chen, are you satisfied?" It was Wen Ziren who spoke. If he were a foreigner, he would not call him Director Chen, but would only call him Chen.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. I can trust Director Wen's accomplishments in horror films!"

"Haha, thank you to Director Chen for trusting me. It's mainly because Director Chen wrote the script well."

The two complimented each other, and their relationship naturally quickly became familiar.

At noon, Lionsgate acted as host and invited Chen Dong to have lunch at a famous Chinese restaurant nearby. The two parties talked about the "Latent" project by the way, and finally reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

By the way, the food in this 'famous' Chinese restaurant is really not delicious, well, that's what Chen Dong thinks anyway.

What Chen Dong didn't expect was that he had just had a meal with people from Lions Gate at noon, and that night, he heard that the matter had been posted on domestic portals.

"Special code, when did domestic reporters become so powerful???"

As a result, when he went out the next day, he paid special attention and found that a paparazzi was secretly filming him.

He is still a familiar face, Zhuo Wei, who will become famous as the number one paparazzi in the Mainland.

"Brother Wei, Director Chen seems to have discovered us."

In a van not far from Chen Dong, the younger brother who traveled across the ocean with Zhuo Wei to secretly photograph Chen Dong reminded him.

"It's okay. We are reporters, not kidnappers. We can live in the sun and don't need to be afraid of the police."

"Wei...Brother Wei, Director Chen seems to be walking towards us. I...should we run?"

"Come on, you said we are kidnappers...ah, we are reporters. Come on, come down with me and say hello."

Chen Dong walked over and saw Zhuo Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, getting out of the car with a smile. He also held the camera in his hand and hung his work badge around his neck, immediately identifying himself as a reporter.

"Hello Director Chen, I am Zhuo Wei from Fengxing Studio and I am an entertainment reporter. This is my ID."

"Hello...Brother, are you from China? You're quite hardworking."

"Haha, isn't this all just to make ends meet?"

Chen Dong glanced at the car and found that the two brothers probably slept in the car at night in order to squat with him. I can't help but feel some emotion in my heart. It's not without reason that others can succeed later.

"You haven't had breakfast yet? I'm treating you."

"Haha, this...this is so embarrassing...then thank you, Director Chen."

Chen Dong thought the other party was really embarrassed, but mid-sentence, he suddenly turned a corner.

This face... is thick enough. Among the people Chen Dong knew, Jiang Wen was probably the only one who could be better.

"Brother Wei, Director Chen is such a nice guy. He didn't even care about us secretly filming him. In turn, he invited us to have breakfast..."

After Chen Dong finished breakfast and left, the younger brother next to Zhuo Wei who had been submissive just now said in a very moved voice.

"You know what the heck, this is called winning over people's hearts."

"But we are just young reporters and he is a well-known director. Is it necessary to do this?"

"...Well, what you said makes sense."

Zhuo Wei looked at the direction Chen Dong was leaving. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a whoosh.

The younger brother was shocked, "What's wrong, Brother Wei?"

"What the heck... I miscalculated and lost my target."
