World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Chapter 223 Manchester by the Sea [Fourth update]

"Baby, stop crying."

Qin Dong received a call from Sisi in China early in the morning.

Sisi cried like a tearful person on the phone, talking about the movie "Thirteen Beauties of the Qinhuai River" she saw.

It tells about the tragedy of the ancestors at that time, the tragic fate of the people of the country, and tells about the fact that in the face of life and death, these people who represent bad professions reveal the feelings of family and country.

Qin Dong finally comforted Hao Sisi, and after hanging up the phone, he meditated quietly.

To be honest, the film "Thirteen Beauties of the Qinhuai River" directed by Master Zhang was at the wrong time. If he had filmed it 10 years later, it would have earned billions at the box office.

It's a pity that he shot it too early. At this time, there were not many cinema screens in China, and the growth rate in the first few years had just begun.

It will take several years for growth to slowly slow down.

Secondly, the policy is stable at this time, so at this time many people in the country have the same thoughts as Japan, Korea, and foreigners.

Even 10 years later, many people still have this problem.

However, the policy changed at that time. Since there are people outside who are blocking and suppressing, the bloody spirit of the Chinese people must be raised.

That was the golden time for these Anti-Japanese War-themed movies, because of the great environment and policy support.

So if ten years later, this movie "Thirteen Beauties of Qinhuai River" will definitely have a box office of several billions.

...

"Columbia Corporation, I remember it still belonged to Sony Columbia at this time."

Qin Dong squinted his eyes and thought about these things.

One thing is completely certain, fuck 00 Dog, this movie must be blocked and not allowed to be released in China.

The Blu-ray should be released as soon as possible and broadcast online in the country to deceive the producers.

Thinking of this, I immediately took out my phone and called my agent:

"Hey, Martin, I asked you to take a message to Columbia last time, did you take it?"

"Not yet? That's good. This sentence is invalid and there is no need to carry it."

"I don't want to give Colombia a chance. Even if they think they don't need it, it doesn't matter. From now on, I will wait for them to finish filming and release it."

"When it comes out, let's see how I respond to that 00 dog movie."

"Oh, I made a mistake, it's 007."

"Okay, it's okay, hang up."

...

Fan Liangliang is not around. This woman is a supporting actress in "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol", and she is also an important role, so she also started publicity with Tom and others. Well, she is very busy.

Qin Dong had nothing to do because he didn't want to promote it. He didn't even bother to promote his own movie. What's more, this movie, which he was just the director and screenwriter, didn't have any investment from his company, so he was even more lazy to promote it.

The sun slowly rose. On a bright sunny day, Qin Dong stood up, found some clothes that fit him, dressed neatly and took his bodyguards to kill the crew of "The Hunger Games".

I looked at Jennifer and then at the progress of the movie.

This movie is a series, so instead of just shooting one movie at a time, we try to shoot as many clips as possible before the first movie "The Hunger Games" is released. It would be best if we can shoot all four movies at once to save money.

Money.

Then I went to the set of [Manchester by the Sea].

This movie starring Nicole Kidman has a script by Qin Dong, and his company [Black Water Dragon Flag] has a part of the investment. Qin Dong doesn't like this kind of literary film, so he is not keen on investment, so he allocated part of it to

other large companies.

Reciprocity is a courtesy, and it is difficult for outsiders to survive on their own. What's more, although there are some profitable films in literary and artistic films, the number is small, and the few who make money do not make much.

Since the gold content is not much, let's let some of it go.

As for this being a prize-winning work, I don't care about Qin Dong anymore.

Only people who care about awards like this kind of movie. Qin Dong doesn't like it anyway, so he can naturally take it out as a favor.

Compared with winning an award, this thing is worthless to Qin Dong.

No woman's contribution has moved Qin Dong's heart more.

...

It's said to be Manchester by the Sea, but it was actually shot next to the beach in the City of Angels.

That's why Qin Dong went to visit the class.

"Oh, dear, why are you here?"

Qin Dong has always been very noisy, and having more than a dozen bodyguards walking around is not a show-off.

In this seaside town, in this cold weather, there were not many people there, but now several cars drove up, which immediately attracted the attention of the crew.

As the only protagonist and producer of the film "Manchester by the Sea", Nicole spotted Qin Dong's figure immediately and quickly led a few people to greet him. After meeting him, she smiled and hugged him with open arms.

"Oh, Nicole, I heard that you are filming here again, so I stopped by to see you when I have nothing to do."

Qin Dong smiled and hugged Nicole back, let go and asked:

"How's it going? Is everything going well with the crew?"

Nicole smiled and nodded:

"Oh, Honey, everything is going very well. You are also an investor in the movie, but you don't pay attention at all."

Qin Dong looked around at the environment of the crew and said with a smile:

"I'm very busy. The movie I shot with your ex-husband Tom and these two geniuses premiered. I also have a TV series and a movie currently being shot in China. I don't have time to take care of these."

"Besides, with you as the producer, I believe that with your ability, you will be able to complete the filming normally."

Nicole didn't want to talk more about Qin Dong and Tom's movie. Regarding her ex-husband, Nicole didn't know how to express her feelings, so she changed the topic:

"Qin, let me introduce to you the director and starring actors of this film."

Qin Dong nodded with a smile. He had already seen several people who came with Nicole before, but if Nicole didn't introduce them, Qin Dong wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

"Haney, this is Kenneth Lonergan, the director of this film. Kenneth is not only a director, but also a screenwriter. He is a very famous screenwriter. He once wrote the film "Big Apple Gangster" and "Matt Robbie" and has been selected into various movies for many times.

It’s the best original screenplay at a major film festival.”

Nicole pointed to a chubby white man in his fifties and introduced him.

"Director Qin, hello, I'm Kenneth Lonergan. I really like your film "Source Code". The plot is very attractive. I know you have written many scripts. I hope I can have the opportunity to consult with you in the future.

"

Kenneth Lonergan immediately stood up, smiled, extended his hand, and praised loudly.

Qin Dong stretched out his hand to hold the other person's hand, and replied with a smile:

"Oh, Kenneth, your movies have been selected for the best original screenplay at major film festivals many times, but mine have never won it once."

"Speaking of which, I should ask you for advice."

Kenneth Lonergan shook his head quickly:

"NO, NO, Director Qin, I know all about your deeds. You have been making money continuously since you shot the first movie in your country, and you made a lot of money at the box office every time. Although winning awards is very important, but investors

, these big companies pay more attention to the profitability of the film."

"So, I should be the one asking you for advice."

Qin Dong smiled, this fat man is very good at complimenting others, so the two of them started to brag each other.

Qin Dong is no stranger to this. He just praises others. It's free of charge anyway, so just brag about it.

"Oh, MAN, what are you doing..."

Nicole stroked her forehead, looked defeated, and complained unceremoniously.

"Ha ha...."

Qin Dong was stunned, and looked at Kenneth Lonergan. The two stopped exchanging blows and started laughing.

Qin Dong is happy to maintain a peaceful attitude in communicating with people who have no competition or conflicts.

Nicole shook her head speechlessly and introduced the next person:

"Honey, this is Casey Affleck, who plays my ex-husband in the movie."

The smile on Qin Dong's face disappeared. He glanced at the person introduced by Nicole and asked:

"Affleck? Are you related to the famous Hollywood gay friends Matt, Ben, and Affleck?"
