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

Chapter 58 Yang Mi’s ambition to return to China

In fact, the one who really took a fancy to "Coco" was not Paramount Pictures' original writing team, but DreamWorks, which had just been acquired by them.

It's just that DreamWorks never expected that this new owner would be so unreliable. Even if they didn't get the script, they would offend people... What's even more ridiculous is that they actually wanted to ban the other party?

Haha, they are basically located in China on the other side of the ocean, and they are not the beneficiaries of resources, but the providers. How can I block them?

At most it's just a stumbling block.

The problem is that there is no grudge between the two parties at all.
  Why do you want to do this?
  This is not in line with the profit-seeking principle of businessmen and is entirely caused by the arrogance of some people.

This incident made the top executives of DreamWorks, which had just been acquired, begin to reflect.

Reflecting on whether it was the right decision for them to accept the acquisition of Paramount Pictures?

Of course, Chen Dong didn't know this.

At this moment, he is discussing with people from Lionsgate about the investment share of the "Insidious" project.

By the way, he also released many profitable B-type horror films such as "Escape" and "Rear Window".

There are two main purposes for doing this. First, with more chips in hand, you can win more benefits; second, since you don’t want me to play Class A movies, then I can make hundreds of millions of dollars by cutting off your Class B movies. You have no problem with money?
  When he has made enough money and when the time is right, Chen Dong can completely lead the A-class blockbuster by himself, without having to look at anyone's face when introducing it.

Originally, for the project "Insidious", Lionsgate planned to allocate the same share of 25 percentage points as "Dead Silence".

No more than 30 percentage points.

Just because Chen Dong temporarily threw out many chips, Lionsgate's bottom line was repeatedly breached by him, and finally Chen Dong got 40% of the investment share.

After the two parties signed the contract, Chen Dong stood up in person to see off the Lionsgate people. He turned around and smiled at the general manager of Future Pictures next to him: "Alice, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Is the boss going back to China?"

"Yes, there are still a lot of things waiting for me in the country."

At this time, Chen Dong found a familiar van. Alice followed his gaze and looked over. She felt that the van was familiar and did not dare to be careless. She asked: "Boss, they seem to be watching you. Do you want me?" Call the police?"

"No. You go back to work. I'll go over and say hello to them."

"Ah? Boss, do you know them?"

"reporter."

Alice was suddenly enlightened and said nothing more. She turned around and walked into the office building of Future Pictures.

Chen Dong walked towards the van.

"Does Director Chen smoke?"

"Thank you, I don't smoke." In fact, Chen Dong smoked in his previous life. It was a lot of pressure to enter the society, and everyone around him smoked, so he learned it over and over again. Fortunately, after his rebirth, this body did not bring his addiction to cigarettes. But I quit again.

Zhuo Wei saw that Chen Dong didn't smoke, so he didn't smoke either.

"What have you photographed these days?"

Zhuo Wei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Chen Dong to be so direct, but then he said calmly: "It turns out that Director Chen spends most of his time at Future Pictures, and a vice president of Paramount Pictures was photographed. I’ve been here and took photos of people from Lions Gate who just left..."

"Haha, you are quite dedicated!"

Chen Dong's words "very dedicated" are definitely complimentary, and Zhuo Wei can also hear it.

He scratched his chicken coop, shook his head with a wry smile, and did not explain anything. He just had a doubt, so he boldly asked: "What is the relationship between Director Chen and Future Pictures?"

"I have shares."

He didn't say that Future Pictures belongs to him, and it's better to keep a low profile.

And he is not afraid of people investigating, because the legal person of Future Pictures is not him at all, but Alice.

Because of this, Alice also has a stake in Future Pictures, just not a lot.

"Can I ask how many there are?"

Seeing Chen Dong just smiling, Zhuo Wei knew that this man couldn't speak. When he wanted to continue inquiring about some news, Chen Dong waved to them, turned around and left.

But before we had gone very far, Chen Dong's voice came unhurriedly: "Stop squatting and buy a ticket back home."

Zhuo Wei's younger brother touched his shiny head that had not been washed for several days, and asked in confusion: "Brother Wei, have we made Director Chen unhappy? They don't even let us squat anymore."

"You're stupid, you can't even hear these words. Director Chen is going back to China."

Otherwise, Zhuo Wei likes to take this little brother with him wherever he goes. He is silly and silly. He doesn't know how to be smart, and he won't steal his limelight. He is also honest and trustworthy.

……

Just when Chen Dong got on the plane back to China, Zhong Lifang was teaching a girl who shrank her head like a quail.

"Since you signed Rong Xinda, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I...I...I don't want to miss this opportunity."

This girl is none other than Yang Mi. She made her debut as a child star and understands the rules of survival in the entertainment industry better than her classmates who dream of becoming a star.

She has been clear about what her dream is since she was a child, and she also understands what the Dongcheng Pictures brand means...

That day Zhong Lifang went to the Nortel Art Examination site to recruit students. She knew that if she said that she had signed with a brokerage company, she would lose all hope, so she was a little clever and the other party didn't ask, so she didn't say anything.

Today, when she received a call from Dongcheng Pictures, asking her to come to the company to review the contract, Yang Mi was both excited and nervous.

Logically speaking, at her current age, she should be accompanied by her family when signing such a contract, but Yang Mi did not dare to tell her parents.

He came to Dongcheng Pictures alone.

At this time, she didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she revealed the news that she had signed a contract with the company.

Then there was a scene in front of me.

Zhong Lifang was really angry and laughed.

"Don't want to miss this opportunity? Haha, you don't think that the company will pay the high liquidated damages for you as a newcomer, right?"

"No, no, I'll pay the penalty myself...I can pay it myself."

Angry as hell, Zhong Lifang actually quite admired this girl.

At least she saw in the other person's eyes an 'ambition' that other college students didn't have.

"Oh, pay it yourself? How much is your liquidated damages?"

"500 million." Yang Mi replied.

"Can you get 500 million?" Zhong Lifang looked at the girl curiously and commented in her mind: Judging from her clothes, her family background should be pretty good.

In fact, if Zhong Lifang could have checked online before calling Yang Mi, she would have gotten a lot of information about the girl, but she didn't.

This was not an oversight on her part. Firstly, Zhong Lifang was quite busy during this period. Secondly, she preconceivedly regarded Yang Mi as a novice who had just finished her senior year of high school and had not yet made her debut.

I didn’t expect that she was a child star.

Naturally, I would not have thought that the other party already had an economic company.

That's why we made such a big mistake.

Her family knew about her family's affairs, and Yang Mi knew that her family couldn't afford 500 million. Unless they sold all the houses, they might be able to scrape together some.

But her parents would definitely not agree.

But compared to continuing to stay in Rongxinda, it is obvious that Dongcheng Pictures has a better future.

People go to higher places... She really doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Zhong... Manager Zhong, can I borrow it from the company first..."
