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

Chapter 259 The pinnacle of Xiao Li Zi’s acting skills is introduced into the film quota (please subscribe!)

Chen Dong didn't expect that when he saw Leonardo again, this guy's temperament would change so much, as if he had a serious illness.

"Leon, what happened to you? Have you fallen out of love again?"

Leon smiled bitterly at Chen Dong: "I have indeed fallen out of love again recently, but it is not because of falling out of love that I am like this."

"Oh? What's that for?" Chen Dong was curious.

Leonardo sold it off: "You should know after Chen, after watching "Shutter Island"."

Seeing what Leon said, Chen Dong naturally guessed something.

After all, he provided the script for "Shutter Island."

"Really? Then I'll wait and see."

He patted Leon on the shoulder. The two did not have much communication at the premiere. After all, the latter, as the main creator, had to help receive the guests.

Even Chen Dong quickly gathered several senior executives from Lions Gate...

Soon, the movie started to show, and Chen Dong, like most people, focused his attention on the big screen in front of him.

The story of "Shutter Island" took place in 1954. Federal law enforcement officer Ted and his newly assigned partner Chuck were ordered to go to the island to investigate a murder agency, but they encountered many dangers and mysteries.

In this story, Leonardo plays the male protagonist Ted...

But the name Ted was actually imagined by the male protagonist.

His real name is Letis, and he participated in World War II. The ruthless killings on the battlefield and the brutal atrocities witnessed in the concentration camps left indelible memories and pain in his heart...

The good news is that peaceful days can heal many past wounds, including memories.

The bad news is that Lettice's wife is a psychopath, and the even worse news is that Lettice saw his mentally ill wife drown their three children.

So he killed his wife too.

The sudden change awakened the painful memories of the man's past. In order to escape reality, he performed self-hypnosis and hypnotized himself into another person.

This guy's name was Ted, and he succeeded.

The movie begins when Ted and his partner Chuck go to the island to investigate the murder agency, but he also has another purpose, which is to find Lettice, the murderer of his wife...

It can be said that this kind of character of the male protagonist is not something that ordinary actors can control.

But Leonardo brought him to life.

Chen Dong did find out why Leon looked like he was seriously ill after watching the movie. It seems that he also suffered a lot in order to play this role well.

No wonder this movie will become the pinnacle masterpiece of Leon's acting skills in later generations.

"How's it going, Chen, did you find the answer?"

After the movie ended, Leonardo walked towards Chen Dong again with a faint smile on his lips. This smile was exactly the same as the smile on Ted's face, which made Chen Dong, who had just watched the movie, couldn't help but feel in a trance.

After a while, he came back to his senses.

Looking at Xiao Lizi in front of him, he gave a thumbs up without hesitation and said two words in Chinese: "Awesome!"

"...Thank you." Leonardo also replied in Chinese.

The next day, "Shutter Island" was released in North America.

The first-day box office grossed $1500 million.

Although it is not as dazzling as "Batman 2", "Transformers", "Avatar" and other super blockbusters, this data is also very eye-catching.

It won the next week's box office championship with US$5000 million in its first week.

And since there are no blockbuster films to be released in the next week, it might be able to retain the title of the week.

Of course, by this time, Chen Dong had already returned to China.

Zhang Songwen is an artist who joined Dongcheng Pictures relatively early.

To be honest, he has taken a lot of resources, but because of his undistinguished appearance, he is still an actor who can barely reach the third-tier level.

Zhu Yilong, who had just joined the company before his eyes, not only came from behind, but was about to be promoted to the second line. Although he knew that there were gaps between people, it did not mean that he was not worried about his situation of not being good enough or not good enough. He just came back from an audition this morning, but his intuition told him that there was little hope.

There was an audition the day after tomorrow, and he originally planned to go back and prepare for it.

Suddenly, his manager called him and asked him to come to the company. He said there was something good going on, but he didn't tell him what the good thing was.

Zhang Songwen knew that his boss had just returned from the United States, and he doubted whether the good things his agent said were related to his boss. In short, he was full of expectations.

Xin Zilei was also called back to the company with him.

They are the two artists currently scheduled by Dongcheng Pictures.

That's why they were called back.

As for the purpose of calling them back, it is naturally related to the several Asian characters Chen Dong brought back for "The Hunger Games".

Because they were all 'minor' roles, Chen Dong brought them back and gave them to Zhong Lifang to arrange.

At this time, he walked into the China Film Studio.

"Director Chen, you just came back from the United States and you came to my place. Did you bring another big project?"

Looking at Han Shanping who looked expectant, Chen Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Director Han, how can there be so many big projects?"

He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit.

"Oh, you want a quota for imported films?"

Han Shanping was slightly surprised, obviously he didn't expect that this was the reason why Chen Dong came to him this time.

He heard that "Shutter Island", which had just been released in North America, had investment from Mirae Pictures, and he had also received news that Chen Dong had attended the film premiere. He suspected that Chen Dong would come over to him today to introduce film quotas. Used on this movie.

However, China Film Group originally had plans to introduce this foreign language film next year!

"Director Chen, if the film quota you and I want to introduce is used on "Shutter Island", there is actually no need at all..."

"Oh, has China Film Group decided to introduce "Shutter Island" so early?" Chen Dong was a little surprised, but he also knew that Han Shanping had misunderstood, so he explained with a smile: "Director Han, I want to introduce the film quota to you. Not for Shutter Island."

"No?" Now it was Han Shanping's turn to be surprised: "Which film was it used in?"

"'Coco', I wonder if Director Han has heard of it?"

"Looking for Dreams...is it a work of DreamWorks?"

Chen Dong met Han Shanping's shocked eyes and nodded slightly: "That's right."

"How come the Chinese copyright of this film is in your hands?" Han Shanping was puzzled.

"Because I'm a screenwriter!"

……

Dongcheng Pictures.

General Manager's Office.

After three knocks on the door, the secretary walked in.

"Manager Zhong, Zhang Songwen and Xin Zilei are in the conference room."

"Okay, I see."

After Zhong Lifang answered, she did not get up in a hurry. Instead, she finished her work first, then picked up a piece of material and walked to the conference room next door.

Ten minutes later, both Zhang Songwen and Xin Zilei left the company excitedly holding the small characters Chen Dong mentioned.

In addition to the two roles that Zhang Songwen and Xin Zilei took away, there were three more roles. It was impossible for Zhong Lifang to arrange any auditions. In addition, Chen Dong only gave her two days, which was too late, so she simply sold her favors directly. way, given to several familiar brokers.

After Chen Dong returns from China Film and Television, the next step is naturally to find a voice actor for "Coco"...
