Chapter 144 Come and bribe me!

At night, in the dimly lit bedroom, the air exudes a faint fragrance.

Chen Shiping, who was leaning on the bed and reading a book, looked at Tao Huimin who was sitting in front of the dressing table playing with perfume. He rubbed his nose and put down the book helplessly and said, "Why do you spray perfume at night?"

Tao Huimin raised her hand and smelled her wrist, then looked back at Chen Shiping and asked, "Doesn't it smell good?"

"It smells good, but it's too fragrant." Chen Shiping smiled helplessly: "I sprayed it too much."

Tao Huimin said oh, then turned back to fiddle with other cosmetics. There were many bottles and jars on the table, all of which she gave when she and Shi Nansheng had dinner tonight.

Chen Shiping was too lazy to care about her and continued reading.

Shi Nansheng only gave gifts tonight and made friends with Tao Huimin. He didn't talk about anything else. He was quite smart.

Only by becoming friends can you get more rewards. If you talk about transactions, there will be no friendship.

Tao Huimin applied some lotion, turned to Chen Shiping and said, "Why do you think the one she gave is better than the one you bought?"

"I didn't do much research. I bought the expensive ones when I saw them. She may have done some research." Chen Shiping said without raising his head.

"Oh." Tao Huimin suddenly said, slapping his face: "I want to go to Xiangjiang in a few days."

Chen Shiping raised his head and looked at her and asked, "Why are you going to Xiangjiang?"

"I'm shopping, I'm getting married soon, and I haven't bought a lot of things yet." Tao Huimin said enthusiastically, "I haven't been to Xiangjiang for several years, and there are a lot of things I want to buy."

Tao Huimin went to Xiangjiang a few years ago to perform on behalf of the Yue Opera Troupe. However, at that time, she went to Xiangjiang for work, and it was the same as whether she went there or not.

Chen Shiping looked at her and asked seriously: "Is it just to buy something? Is there no other reason?"

"No, Nan Sheng told me that there are many things in Xiangjiang that are not available in the mainland, and I want to buy some."

Tao Huimin said helplessly: "You have been busy filming recently and have no time, otherwise I would have gone with you."

Chen Shiping saw that she wanted to go and said, "Ask Sister Qing tomorrow if she has time to accompany you, or you can ask Guan Zhilin to accompany you after you arrive in Xiangjiang."

Tao Huimin climbed onto the bed, lay on Chen Shiping's chest and asked, "Don't you trust me?"

Chen Shiping rubbed her head lovingly and said, "Yes, yes, what should I do if such a beautiful wife is kidnapped?"

Tao Huimin smiled sweetly, took her hair and put it on the tip of Chen Shiping's nose and asked, "Does it smell good?"

"Smells, you smell so good that I want to eat you." Chen Shiping hugged Tao Huimin, turned over and pressed on her, licking everywhere like a cat in heat.

After a while, a thin cat meowing sounded in the room, a soft and low voice like the sound of a clear spring gurgling in the spring flood.

Tao Huimin went through the messy procedures to apply for a pass in the next few days. After completing the process, he went to Xiangjiang alone.

Chen Shiping even called Guan Zhilin to explain that he should accompany Tao Huimin, mainly to prevent Shi Nansheng from taking the opportunity to deceive Tao Huimin.

The advantage of bok choy is that it is tender, but the disadvantage is that it is also tender. Chen Shiping was really afraid that she would be fooled into not knowing what to do with it.

After Tao Huimin went to Xiangjiang, Chen Shiping also jumped into the crew. He stayed on the set all day long and fell asleep when he came home. He was as busy as a dog.

Chen Shiping is busy filming, and the film studio is not idle either. There are many projects in the factory this year, mainly because they have money and they are opening more projects.

It's just that many people in the factory have been taken away by Chen Shiping, and the directors in the factory are busy borrowing people from other film studios.

The children's film studio and the youth film studio were all rented out.

The thriving scene in the factory made Song Zhu happy from the bottom of his heart, but he had a headache just thinking about this year's Lunar New Year.

Chen Shiping was so busy filming Farewell My Concubine that he didn't even have time to make a New Year's film.

Song Zhu could only call the directors in the factory together to see if they had a suitable script for this year's Lunar New Year.

The director in the factory was very excited now. He didn't expect that the Lunar New Year slot would fall on him, so he had to fight for it.

"Didn't Director Chen film Farewell My Concubine by himself? Why is the Lunar New Year slot free?"

Everyone in the conference room was discussing together before Song Zhu arrived, wondering whether the Lunar New Year holiday was reliable or not.

"It's too late for Farewell My Concubine, and I heard that the script submitted for review is different from the actual script. Do you think this Lunar New Year movie will be successful?"

"The script is really different. Director Chen is still braver."

"But is there still a martial arts movie for the Lunar New Year this year?"

Song Zhu walked in at this moment and said directly: "No martial arts or kung fu movies! The audience is tired of watching them. Try a comedy movie."

Hearing Song Zhu's words, many directors became happy, as long as it's not a kung fu movie. Who can make a kung fu movie better than Chen Shiping?

Comedy is better, everyone can do this.

You can count the number of directors who have made kung fu movies at Beijing Film Studio on one hand, or to be precise, you can count them without one hand.

After Song Zhu sat down, he looked at the guys and said, "Don't think that comedy is simple. This is the Lunar New Year period, so you have to show your true skills!"

Someone smiled and echoed: "Director, even if you don't tell us, we still have to show our true skills."

Song Zhuo said with a more serious expression: "Then let's discuss it and come up with a plan as soon as possible. Time waits for no one. If we don't hurry up, other factories will come to snatch it."

Chen Shiping also knew that the factory was studying this year's Lunar New Year stall. After thinking about it, he called Tao Huimin who was far away in Xiangjiang and took the initiative to talk to her about the matter and asked her to reveal it to Shi Nansheng.

After calling Tao Huimin, Chen Shiping told Boss Li of Hanshan Films and Guan Zhilin.

Throwing out the Lunar New Year pie and proactively revealing it was a hint to them that this would be the first co-production to participate in the sharing, so they should seize the opportunity.

Mrs. Chen is in Xiangjiang, hurry up and send gifts, otherwise it will be too late!

Of course, Chen Shiping did this not to receive a gift, but to make a fool of himself. The box office of the Lunar New Year show will definitely not be low. There is no reason why these Xiangjiang filmmakers should not be tempted.

I just want to use this big pie to teach them a lesson. If you want to get a piece of the pie, you must make movies that are in line with mainland values ​​and avoid any movies containing private goods!

Sometimes, if you don't push these people, they don't know how much potential they have.

Chen Shiping felt that he was worried about the development of films in both places.

If he focused on making money, he would probably have assets of over 100 million.

"Director, this is ready!"

The field manager ran over and called Chen Shiping, who immediately got up and went to film.

In the training room of the theater, the bright sunshine shone through the eaves. Xiao Laizi listened to the sound of the knife hitting Xiaodouzi in the yard, and took two steps forward in a daze, looking out with dull eyes.

The hanging legs hanging from the beams were swaying. In the dimly lit room, there was bright light speed behind Xiao Laizi, but he could not see a trace of light, and he only felt cold.

The little laizi shivered and took out the uneaten candied haws of apples from his pocket. In the dim light, he could only see the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes and his mouth that was bulging with the candied haws of sugar.

If you become a Jiao'er, you don't need to be beaten. If you eat the candied haws, you will be a Jiao'er. You don't need to be beaten. You don't need to be beaten.

Xiao Laizi chewed the candied haws hard, stuffed all the candied haws into his mouth, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Master Guan, who was still beating Xiaodouzi in the yard, was stopped by Xiao Shitou, who wanted to save Xiaodouzi!

When the master and apprentice were fighting each other, the master called Master Guan in panic and called Xiao Laizi in a panic. Master Guan immediately realized that something was wrong and staggered into the house.

In the dark room and the dark corridor, all the disciples crowded in. The little laizi hung on his own rope, hanging there quietly. There was a bright and dazzling light outside the door behind him, but he died in this dark room.

The little boy hanging there seems to be saying, I don't want to be a horny kid anymore, I know what candied haws taste like!

Master Guan, who was wearing a white short coat, stared at Xiao Laizi's body intently. It was as bright as the light outside the door, but he blended into the dark troupe.

Bang!

The huge portrait of Tongguang Thirteen Jue leaning against the wall nearby slammed to the ground, causing bursts of dust to float towards Xiao Laizi's body.

The famous actor in the portrait watched the little laizi die in front of him. Was he trying to compensate him or not offering him incense?

"The little kid is done!" Chen Shiping shouted while wiping his tears, and the field staff quickly went up to take the kid down.

It's just that the atmosphere on the set was very depressing. Xiao Laizi was like many people in the world, burdened with all kinds of expectations and pressure that didn't belong to them, living helplessly and miserably and then dying in despair.

Xiao Laizi is not Xiaodouzi. Xiaodouzi is protected by his senior brother, and there is a ray of light shining on Xiaodouzi.

Xiao Laizi was never exposed to that bright and dazzling light until his death.

After filming this scene, Chen Shiping sat there alone for a long time. What Farewell My Concubine was about was not love, but the lives of countless ordinary people.

People have to perfect themselves.

Go after what you want. If you don't get what you want, you didn't come to this world in vain. What's the point of enduring all the hardships?

Chen Shiping thought of himself for some reason, and suddenly felt that he had done half of what he had not done.

You can't leave the Lunar New Year holiday to others. What you made yourself must be completely finished by it.

It is better to count on yourself than to count on others.

Take the time to write a notebook, and then sell this notebook to those in Xiangjiang.

You have to get a high price. If you buy this book, you can hope to participate in the Lunar New Year stalls!

Chen Shiping felt that he was really kind and gave these people the opportunity to get on the bus and buy tickets!

"What are you thinking about? You're so obsessed."

Chen Shiping turned around and saw Xu Feng, and said with a smile: "I'm always a little worried if I give up on things during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"Then what do you want to do? The phone has just been turned on here." Xu Feng looked at Chen Shiping nervously, sat next to him and said, "Don't tell me you want to run away."

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "How could it be possible? But now Xiaodouzi and the others have almost finished filming, and Zhang Guorong and the others haven't started filming yet. They are idle and they are idle. Don't you feel bad that so many people in the crew are just getting paid?"

Xu Feng: "." To be honest, I feel bad, but who made this movie so troublesome to shoot?

"You mean to make another movie?" Xu Feng asked suspiciously.

She felt that this suggestion was unreliable. Although it could create more value, it was not religious at all for the movie. How could a shoddy movie be good?

"I was just talking casually." Chen Shiping explained with a smile: "I plan to try to write a script in the next two days and find someone to film it."

Xu Feng patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death. I thought you wanted to take the picture yourself."

Xu Feng's only thought now is to finish filming "Farewell My Concubine" without making any mistakes. She has a hunch that this will be an epic movie.

Chen Shiping did not continue to explain to Xu Feng that the script must be written. He was a little uneasy about the directors in the factory.

I have almost never made commercial films, and the genre films I have made in the past few years are all realistic and satirical. The movies are good, but they are not suitable for a day like the Lunar New Year.

It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and everyone just wants to have fun, but don’t make fun of the bad things in reality.

Chen Shiping would write down something in his notebook when he thought of something during filming. The first thought that came to his mind was Party A and Party B.

However, Party A and Party B have too strong Beijing flavor, so they still need to change it.

The characters in it must take into account both north and south, and the unit stories must also be representative and universal.

It can't be the same as Xiaogang's. The box office in the north is extremely high, but almost no one in the south watches it.

The Lunar New Year festival can’t just celebrate the New Year for northern audiences, friends from the south should also have fun.

When writing about Party A and Party B, Chen Shiping also thought about personal customization. Many of the plots in it were quite interesting, so he put them together.

For example, the question of elegance or vulgarity in private customization is quite amusing. Chen Shiping decided to find a Xiangjiang director to play the role. Xiangjiang directors are not interested in vulgarity, but mainland directors like to play elegance.

It's a sketch movie, just for fun.

Chen Shiping was writing the script while filming, and the progress was not too slow, but he didn't have time to write today.

There is a very important scene to be filmed today.

The scene in which Xiao Douzi is completely distorted about her gender identity is the most important scene in the entire movie. If the filming is ruined, it will be useless no matter how good Leslie Cheung's subsequent performances are.

In the troupe, Xiaodouzi, who was wearing Huadan clothes, was obviously very nervous. He was also worried that the performance today would not be good.

Chen Shiping didn't talk to him too much. Children tend to have random thoughts, and they were already nervous and then said they were depressed.

"I am a man, not a girl."

Xiaodouzi memorized the lyrics over and over again. Even though he only sang a few lines in this scene, he was still worried that he would make mistakes.

Seeing that Xiao Douzi was so nervous, Chen Shiping called Xiao Shitou over and said, "Go buy some snacks for Xiao Douzi and tell him not to be stressed. If he is willing to take it easy, nothing can be accomplished."

Xiao Shitou took the money from Chen Shiping and ran out.

After a while, he came back with a handful of candies and a bottle of soda, placed them in front of Xiaodouzi and started chatting with him.

There was Xiao Shitou talking to Xiao Douzi. After a while, he relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

Chen Shiping looked at the time and asked everyone to get ready to start.

In the ancestral hall of the opera troupe, a portrait of Tang Minghuang, the founder of Liyuan, is enshrined on the incense table.

Xiaodouzi knelt down in front of the incense table, with his back to the portrait of the ancestor, and in front of him were the brothers who had already paid homage to the ancestor.

The sun shone on their bodies, and their faces couldn't be seen clearly even against the light.

Master Guan walked over and watched the disciples telling the play Farewell My Concubine.

"Even if a person has all kinds of abilities, he will never be able to withstand destiny!"

"The overlord ends up with a horse, a sword and a woman."

"Yu Ji finally drew her sword and killed herself. This is the end of her life!"

　I was planning to take a day off today, but after thinking about it I decided to write another chapter and try my best to make up for it tomorrow.
