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

Chapter 305 Liu Yifei's opinion on the second child (Please subscribe!)

Following Chen Dong's "Interstellar", Xu Ke's "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is China's second IMAX 3D movie and the first IMAX 3D martial arts movie.

The film has a strong cast, starring Jet Li, Zhao Xun, Chen Kun, Li Yuchun, Gui Lunmei, Fan Shaohuang and Fan Xiaoxuan.

It tells the story of the Ming Dynasty Xianzong period, when the knight Zhao Huaian was hunted by spies from the Western Factory for saving loyal officials. After going through untold hardships, he escaped to the Longmen Inn, where he formed alliances with many forces, including the pursuers, the innkeeper Jin Xiangyu, and the Tatar caravan.

This movie has created many classic characters and naturally contributed many classic lines.
For example, the head of the West Factory said, "I will kill those whom the East Factory dare not kill, and I will take care of those things that the East Factory dare not take care of. In a word, I will take care of those things that the East Factory can take care of, and I will take care of those things that the East Factory cannot take care of even more."

Another example is Zhao Huaian's "A lonely figure on the cold river, an old friend from the rivers and lakes, why do we have to know each other when we meet?"

"I'm curious, what does Director Chen have to say after watching Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate?"

After the movie, there was a review session. When Chen Dong saw Zuo Xun looking at him, he thought something was wrong. Sure enough, he was called out the next second.

Chen Dong stood up from the crowd with a wry smile, took the microphone handed to him by the staff, met the curious eyes of others, and replied thoughtfully: "It's wonderful. In my heart, Director Xu's "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" not only captured the chivalrous spirit of martial arts, but also the romance that should be in the martial arts world, even though this martial arts world is very cruel!"

"Thank you Director Chen for giving such a high evaluation to "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". I will continue to work hard and make persistent efforts."

"My humble opinion. Director Xu, you are... too modest."

Liu Yifei also noticed Chen Dong's high praise for the movie at the premiere of "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers" at home. When he came back, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is Director Xu's movie really that good this time, or is it just a polite remark from your husband?"

"It's not just a compliment. In my opinion, this movie is a martial arts movie that is the culmination of director Xu Ke's work. It's worth going to the cinema to watch it."

"Then you will go with me tomorrow, husband..."

"I have a movie premiere tomorrow."

"who?"

"Lao Mouzi, The Flowers of War."

"Why didn't you send me an invitation?"

"Maybe he did. You can ask mom. Or maybe he thinks that you and I are one and the same, so if he sent it to me, he would also have sent it to you."

"unfair……"

Strictly speaking, the premiere of "The Flowers of War" held in China was not a premiere, because the film had actually been released in North American theaters a week earlier.

Apparently both Dicky Cheung and Zhang Yimou had high hopes for its overseas box office, and even expected it to be higher than the domestic box office.

But contrary to expectations, the film flopped without even making a splash in the North American market.

Now Zhang Weiying has placed all his hopes on the domestic box office. If the domestic box office also fails, the 600 million yuan loan from the bank will have to be repaid.

"Director Chen, Yifei, hey, welcome, welcome, welcome to our show."

"Haha, Director Zhang, you are so enthusiastic..."

"No, no, come here, Director Chen, Yifei, let me introduce you, this is Ni Ni, the heroine of my movie."

"Hello, Director Chen, hello, Sister Yifei, I'm Ni Ni..."

"Hello, Ni Ni."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Yimou values ​​his daughter very much, so much so that he always brings her with him when greeting guests at the door, to help him build connections and develop a rapport with her.

As for "The Flowers of War", it tells the story of an American who pretends to be a priest to save people in the city of Nanjing occupied by the Japanese in 1937, a group of female students hiding in the church, 13 prostitutes fleeing the war, and soldiers and wounded soldiers who fight desperately, all overcoming difficulties together in the face of life and death.

The reason why it is called "The Flowers of War" instead of "The Priest" or other names is that Zhang Yimou mainly uses the perspective of these 13 prostitutes in this film. The theme is redemption.

In addition, it is not like Lu Chuan's "Nanjing! Nanjing!" that does anything weird to express its own values.

Moreover, "The Flowers of War" is consistent with the official attitude towards this period of history, which is why the evaluation of this movie in later generations is relatively positive.

After attending the premiere, Liu Yifei was in a heavy mood. Chen Dong had originally planned to accompany her to watch "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", but now he is not interested anymore.

Of course, Chen Dong also knew how to coax his wife. He took her out for a crayfish meal that night, and all her worries disappeared at the dinner table.

There were many meetings during the Chinese New Year period, and Chen Dong had already filmed two movies this year, so he planned to take a vacation. Therefore, he did not plan to do any post-production work on "Comet" this year.

Correspondingly, "My Love from the Star" will also have to be postponed. As for when it will be postponed, Chen Dong is not sure for the time being, but he can guarantee that it will start filming in the first half of next year. This is also the reason why Liu Yifei studied the script for a week and then started to be lazy.

At the beginning of this year, Huang Bo bought a house in the capital, and at the end of the year he brought his family over.

Chen Dong and his wife went to visit his sister-in-law and their daughter today. Unexpectedly, they ran into Ning Hao and his wife by chance.

"Director Chen, Ning Hao, are you sure you didn't agree to come here together?"

"To be honest, it's not really."

"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence."

The children at home were too young, so the three of us had dinner at a restaurant outside.

"When did Ning Hao's "The Golden Robbery" wrap up? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"Just two days before you two returned home."

"It won't be released in time for the Lunar New Year holiday, right?"

"That's definitely not going to be possible."

In the private room and at the dinner table, the men were talking about men's topics, and the women were talking about women's topics.

"Yifei, are you and Director Chen planning to have a second child?"

"I don't know, let nature take its course... But I know Chen Dong wants a daughter."

"What do you think?"

"Because I am an only child, I thought I would be less lonely if I had a sibling when I was young, so sometimes I wanted to have another child so that my son would have a companion. But Sister Na, you don't know that my son can be very annoying sometimes. At that time, I was thinking, if I had another child to annoy me, wouldn't that be my own fault?"

"Yes, that's what being a mother is like. You love your children to your core, but you can also be mad at them. But Yifei, your son should be four years old this year, right?"

"Four and a half."

"Well, then I think if you really want to have a second child, you can take action now."

Liu Yifei glanced at Chen Dong at this time, and saw that the men were talking about something and were chatting enthusiastically, and didn't pay any attention to this side at all. So she swallowed the answer that was on the tip of her tongue and threw the question to Xing Aina.

"Sister Na, what about you?"
