Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 183 Yu Feihong cried after being scolded

There is light snow outside the window, the office is fully heated, and the white teacup on the table is constantly rising.

The faint fragrance of tea penetrated Chen Shiping's nose, making him feel much calmer.

Song Tao, who was sitting opposite, smiled and said, "Xiao Yu is very good, very experienced, and good-looking, so don't be so picky."

"She is too dark, not thin enough, and her temperament is somewhat neutral." Chen Shiping looked at Song Tao and said mercilessly.

Song Zhu sighed and said, "What a shame, you have such a mouth. You are such a quiet little girl."

"The key is that I have my favorite candidate." Chen Shiping picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Song Zhen asked curiously: "Who?"

Chen Shiping: "Chen Hong."

"She is even more unsuitable. She is classically beautiful. It would be good to play Yang Guifei." Song Zhu continued to persuade: "Shi Ping, I have already promised, so you can give me face. If you think there is something wrong with Xiao Yu , let her change it."

Seeing that Chen Shiping was still talking, Song Tao said quickly: "I have never asked you for help. You have to help me with this matter."

"Are you taking advantage of others?" Chen Shiping became interested, but he didn't expect Song Zhu to be so interested in Yu Feihong.

Song Tao sighed and said, "Every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite, so please do me a favor."

Chen Shiping estimated that it might have something to do with his family, so he thought about it and didn't ask further.

Song Zhu is so supportive of me, so I can't help but give him some face. Let Yu Feihong be Yu Feihong.

I'll tell her to lose weight, read more books to be whiter, and she can finally adjust.

But how to explain it to Chen Hong is a problem. Although I didn't explain it clearly yesterday, it was basically an agreement. It's hard to say if I will go back on my word today.

After leaving Song Chong's office, Chen Shiping went to the Art Creation Center. After entering, most directors ignored him.

In the past, everyone envied the people who directed Chen Shiping, but the premise is that only Chen Shiping can give up his rights as a director.

But the current producer system completely takes away their rights.

Who can bear this!
Director Li Wenhua, who had worked with Chen Shiping several times, took the initiative to talk to Chen Shiping. He was going to retire anyway and didn't care about these things.

What's more, after cooperating with Chen Shiping, I gained a lot of benefits and naturally gave him face.

After Chen Shiping chatted with Li Wenhua for a few words, they looked through the movie projects that had passed the review in the factory. However, no director was willing to work on them now, so these plans were still just plans.

Chen Shiping flipped through it for a while and found that there was a project with a familiar name, but it didn't pass the review this year.

It was a manuscript requested by the Literature Department in 1990, and was only completed and submitted this year.

The name of this project is Da Saba. Chen Shiping looked at the two names on the screenwriter column and couldn't help but smack his lips.

Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong.

Chen Shiping thought for a moment and took away the script, so he could use it to compensate Chen Hong.

Dasha did a good job in this movie and acted well.

This needs to be filmed by Xia Gang, but I don’t know if Xia Gang is willing to be the director now.

Chen Shiping didn't see Xia Gang in the director's room, so he returned to his office with the script.

After reading the script carefully, I called Mei Juan.

"Let's go back and do the preparations for this script. I've decided on the male and female protagonists and the director, and you can arrange the rest."

Mei Juan took the script and took a look at it and asked: "Director, who is the director? Is Wang Xiaoshuai them?"

"Look for Xia Gang. If you go to him, tell me that I have chosen him."

Chen Shiping paused and then said: "Go and inform the production department, ask them to get involved, and give them a chance to stop being nannies. Everyone is not active, and they all like to wipe the director's butt!"

Mei Juan forced out a smile, feeling helpless.

The people in the production department are so lazy, but now they are not sure which side will win. In the past, they were all doing shit on the set.

Now tell him that he has more power than the director, which is a little hard to accept for a while.

But the most important thing is that they don't have the courage in their hearts.

It would be fine if the producer system succeeds, but if it fails, you will still be the production director in the future, and you must not be remembered by the directors and treated like cattle and horses.

To put it bluntly, the paper man's status in the crew at this time is indeed not high.

Whether it's the production director's personal production or the external producer, they only serve as assistants to the director.

To a certain extent, they don’t even have as much power as the assistant director. If they are asked to suddenly step over and call the shots, they are indeed lacking in courage.

That is to say, a few producers who have worked with Chen Shiping are more courageous, but most of the producers are still unwilling to offend the director, and they have offended all the directors.

Chen Shiping looked at Mei Juan and said, "Go back and tell them to come to my place for a meeting, and I'll talk to them."

When Mei Juan was about to leave, Chen Shiping stopped her again.

"By the way, you guys should also show some respect and take the lead. Go to the Literature Department more often to see if there are any good movies and books. If you have good projects, report them to the public. Don't work in full swing. Come on, those directors thought they had won."

Mei Juan immediately nodded in agreement and promised to do it later. She is also very busy now, and is still preparing for the Six Generations movie.

After Chen Shiping finished doing this, he was busy in the office for a while, then dug out the contact information Song Chong gave him and called Yu Feihong to ask her out.

Since she wants to act in Love Letter, she has to meet Chen Shiping's requirements.

Yu Feihong is indeed a bit dark now, and her temperament is too sassy. She needs to be more artistic to be suitable for this role.

However, Yu Feihong's own temperament is pretty good, so it shouldn't be difficult to train her.

Yu Feihong came over at noon. Chen Shiping looked at Yu Feihong who was dressed in black and felt that she was darker than he thought.

Yu Feihong felt a little embarrassed when Chen Shiping looked at him, thinking that he was angry that he bypassed her and went directly to Song Zhu.

She flipped her hair and said a little embarrassedly: "Director Chen, I actually..."

"You are a little dark and you need to whiten your skin." Chen Shiping interrupted directly.

Yu Feihong: "."Are you polite? Hey, are you agreeing to star in Love Letter?
After Yu Feihong figured it out, her unhappiness immediately dissipated and she said happily: "Okay, I'll go for a beauty treatment later! Drink more milk!"

"Also, if you want to lose weight, you need to be thinner and have a more artistic temperament." Chen Shiping looked at it a few more times, then sighed and said: "That's it for the time being. You go back to whiten and lose weight first. Losing weight is the most important thing. You are really white." If not, just put on makeup.”

Yu Feihong felt that she was worthless by Chen Shiping and had no self-confidence anymore. She lowered her head and let out a dull sigh.

After she hummed, Chen Shiping couldn't hold it back and said, "Go back and find the script teacher for extra lessons. Your voice should be softer and more airy, it's a bit too rough." Rough voice? !

Yu Feihong is really going to cry. Is she that bad?

I've been told everything from head to toe, inside and out, do you think so low of yourself?
Yu Feihong said unconvinced: "If Director Chen really doesn't want to use me, then I won't act."

"If possible, that would be the best. If Song Chang hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have chosen you." Chen Shiping said without mercy.

Yu Feihong was so angry that she cried, wiped her tears and turned away.

Chen Shiping looked at her back and curled his lips. If he didn't scold her, how could he show that Song Chong's favor was valuable?

If Yu Feihong was really angry and stopped acting, she would have to remember Song Zhen's favor, and she would have one less trouble.

He just offended Yu Feihong, but it didn't matter to Chen Shiping.

Yu Feihong ran out of Chen Shiping's office and couldn't control her tears. Originally, she was full of joy and wanted to cooperate with Chen Shiping to act in Love Letter.

It's better now. After arriving, I was hit to pieces.

How harmful these words are to a twenty-year-old girl!

Yu Feihong felt even more sad when she thought that she was still a fan of Chen Shiping's books and movies. Her favorite idol could look down on her so much.

Yu Feihong, who was crying, took out a small mirror from her bag unconvinced.

Looking at herself in the mirror amid the light snow, she sadly discovered that she actually looked a little dark!

Yu Feihong, who ran all the way home, lay on the bed crying for a long time, and did not get up from the bed until dark.

She wiped her tears, looked at the dark room, and shouted frantically: "I want to whiten my skin, I want to lose weight! I want to become beautiful! I want Chen Shiping to regret!"

At this time, Chen Shiping suddenly sneezed, looked at the necklace he just bought in his hand, rubbed his nose and walked into Chen Hong's house.

In life, there will always be things beyond the plan, and I don't know if Chen Hong will be angry.

When Chen Hong saw Chen Shiping taking the initiative to come over today, still holding a gift in his hand, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he forced a smile when he looked at Chen Shiping.

"Why are you here again today?" Chen Hong pretended that nothing happened, hugged Chen Shiping's arm and said, "This necklace is so beautiful, can you help me put it on?"

Chen Shiping apologized and rubbed her head and put a necklace on her.

"You better not go to the love letter. I found a new one for you. The script is also good. I also asked Xia Gang to be the director and Ge You to be the leading actor. You also know how popular the two of them are now."

Listening to Chen Shiping's explanation, Chen Hong felt much better, but he still couldn't help but ask: "She knows, doesn't she agree?"

Chen Shiping paused his hand and said funnyly: "You are overthinking it. It was Lao Song who offered this role to someone yesterday. He didn't hear it when he called me."

"As you know, Lao Song is pretty good to me. It's hard to say no when he asks me for help for the first time."

Only then did Chen Hong understand the reason, and she suddenly felt less uncomfortable. She only blamed herself for working too hard last night, otherwise why would Chen Shiping not answer the phone!
Drinking and sex really ruined things! Be sure to answer the phone from now on!
Chen Hong also knew that many things in this world were beyond his control, but he was curious about who directly approached Song Tao to decide on the role.

Chen Shiping explained: "A student from Nortel, named Yu Feihong, has played a role in The Joy Luck Club before, and her family background is very good."

"My surname is Yu? Then I understand." Chen Hong sighed helplessly. Her background is indeed very good, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to refuse her.

Speaking of background, Chen Hong also has a little bit of background, but it's not very impressive.

After Chen Shiping saw that Chen Hong could understand, he smiled and said: "After finishing the filming, I will introduce you to another Hong Kong film."

Hearing that there was additional compensation, Chen Hong became even more happy. She hugged Chen Shiping and kissed him.

"Director Xia Gang, are you willing to film? Didn't you say that there have been conflicts in the factory recently?" Chen Hong said with some worry.

Chen Shiping chuckled and said, "He won't reject me."

In fact, Xia Gang will not refuse. He has been in the film studio for so long and has only been a director a few times. However, when he directed Chen Shiping once, he became a director in the Lunar New Year. Now he has received tens of millions in box office. When the movie The box office may exceed 100 million when it is released!

What a concept!

The first director with a box office of over 100 million after the market reform!

This is an achievement that will be remembered by history!

These were all given to him by Chen Shiping. It was Chen Shiping who helped him suppress Xu Ke on the set. How could he not remember Chen Shiping's kindness.

So when Mei Juan came to see him, Xia Gang agreed immediately!

Xia Gang took the script and said with a smile: "Director Chen, just tell me directly. I need you to make a trip."

Mei Juan smiled after hearing this and said: "I have something to tell you. Don't tell anyone outside these days. Wait until I notify you, otherwise someone will definitely cause trouble for you."

"Well, the atmosphere in the factory is really not good right now." Xia Gang is in the director's room every day, and what he hears the most is directors discussing how to protest against the producer system.

Now in the director's room, criticizing Chen Shiping has become politically correct.

Otherwise, it will be a betrayal of the collective director!

Xia Gang usually doesn't speak. He doesn't want to scold Chen Shiping, but he doesn't have the courage to stand up and support him.

Mei Juan looked at him and thought that it was exactly the same as what Chen Shiping said. He was a bit introverted, a bit tactless, and not domineering enough.

"Director Chen is also thinking about you. I want to be the first to be the first. I don't want to put so much pressure on you. In a few days, there will be several new directors to come forward. Then the pressure on you will be less."

After explaining to Xia Gang, Mei Juan left and had to do other things.

The reform within the factory was actually a battle. Chen Shiping was the commander-in-chief, and she was the one who led the charge.

Chen Shiping could be idle, but she couldn't.

At this time, Chen Shiping was driving home. The windows were opened and the cold wind blew into the car.

Xiaobaicai has a very good nose, so she can't have any smell on her body, otherwise she will definitely get sulky again.

Chen Shiping now lives more cautiously, not only to guard against Xiao Baicai, but also to guard against someone pulling her pigtails.

Like his current position, whether it is important or not, the main influence is Chen Shiping himself, not the position, so many people don't care too much.

But if he went further up, it would be completely different. Someone might be watching him from behind.

Although everyone’s butts are dirty, it’s always right to be careful.

Some people always think that people in the 1980s were very conservative. In fact, you will know that if you go back to the village and listen to the gossip of the elders.

This is an era of conservative thinking and bold and avant-garde actions!
She sounds very conservative, but in fact she is more open-minded than anyone else!
But the most important thing is, never say anything with your mouth. There are some things you can do, but you can’t say!
