Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 191 The reward after being slept with

It was already the end of winter in the capital, and all the snow on the roads had been swept away.

The gray color of the city makes Chen Shiping a little unaccustomed to it. During this time, he has seen many beautiful snow scenes outside and doesn't like the hustle and bustle of the city.

The crew drove directly back to the factory, and there was no rush to shoot the interior scenes.

We have to let everyone go home and take a day off.

Chen Shiping also had other things to deal with.

After returning to the factory, Chen Shiping looked at Yu Feihong and asked, "Are you going back to school or where you live?"

Yu Feihong said in a low mood: "If you are free, take me home, if not, take me to school."

"Did I say I'll send you off?" Chen Shiping knocked on her and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll take you back to school."

"It's just across the road, I don't need you to see me off, I'll leave by myself!" Yu Feihong snorted and turned around and left.

Chen Shiping looked at her back, shrugged his shoulders and left.

Now I'm going to meet Cheng Long. This big nose is really noisy. I didn't even meet him, so I helped him calm things down.

This time I have to kill him severely, which is unjustifiable.

Yu Feihong walked out of the film studio, looked back and found that there was no sign of Chen Shiping, gritted his teeth and groaned a few times before leaving.

Dog man, if you say you won’t give it away, you won’t give it away!

But I just like him like this. Those men who only want to please and flatter are boring.

Although Chen Shiping is as hard as a rock, a man needs to be a little harder!
In the Shangri-La Hotel, Shi Nansheng received a call from Chen Shiping. After knowing that he was coming soon, he went to the restaurant downstairs to book a private room.

After a while, Cheng Long and the others all arrived.

Shi Nansheng looked at Cheng Long and said, "Don't mention the Double Dragon Club, otherwise you will really be slaughtered."

Cheng Long nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know what conditions Chen Shiping will propose."

Several other Xiangjiang directors also started discussing at this time. They came here to find Chen Shiping to collaborate.

Now we owe someone a favor before the cooperation has even begun. This time the cooperation is really going to be cut.

Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "He is an upright person and won't embarrass you too much, as long as you don't go against him."

"I hope so."

As soon as Cheng Long finished speaking, the private room door was pushed open, and the waiter led Chen Shiping in.

"I'm not late, am I?" Chen Shiping walked in with a smile, looked at Shi Nansheng and said, "Miss Shi, long time no see."

Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "It won't take long. Please sit down."

Chen Shiping nodded, looked at Cheng Long and said, "Mr. Cheng was not frightened last night, was he? There are too many black dance halls in the capital. We will make corrections later. I guarantee there will be no problems next time I come to the capital."

Cheng Long forced out a smile and said, "Thank you, Director Chen, for your help yesterday."

"It's a trivial matter." After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he looked at Liu Zhenwei and the other directors and said, "Welcome to the mainland. Do you want to make a film this time?"

Liu Zhenwei shook hands with Chen Shiping and said politely: "Yes, yes, I hope Director Chen can give me more support."

"Director Liu's Mandarin is pretty good." Chen Shiping laughed, then sat down and looked at them and said, "Everyone, please sit down. Stop standing."

After hearing Chen Shiping's words, a few people sat down and took the initiative to find a topic to chat with him with smiling faces.

After a while, the waiter came in to serve the food and opened two bottles of wine.

Cheng Long took the initiative to take the wine bottle and wanted to pour wine for Chen Shiping, but Chen Shiping reached out to cover his own glass.

Seeing Cheng Long's embarrassment, Shi Nansheng took the initiative and said, "Director Chen doesn't drink, and we drink tea too."

"You can drink if I don't want to, don't worry about me."

Cheng Long smiled awkwardly, put down the bottle and said, "It's up to you to do as you please. We won't drink anymore. Yesterday I was just drinking and wasted my time. I have to stop drinking in the future."

Chen Shiping smiled and said nothing. After they ate for a while, they turned the topic to movies.

Liu Zhenwei came here to apply for co-production and attract investment. Of course, the most important thing is to enter the mainland market.

His film company can't get the money now, and it's almost impossible to continue. Now the investors from Wanwan have withdrawn.

It was difficult to find Wanwan to invest, so we simply set our sights on the mainland.

Now everyone knows that Beijing Film Studio has money, and a lot of money. Party A and Party B can make a lot of money from just one movie.

The most important thing is that Chen Shiping still has investment from the Directors Guild.

Liu Zhenwei was chatting with a friend some time ago. He talked about the end of Xiangjiang Film and also talked about the past glory of Xiangjiang Film.

An idea came to my mind to make a movie about Hong Kong's movie characters from the 1950s and 1960s.

This script is 92 Black Roses vs. Black Roses.

I had a script but no money for filming, so I came to the mainland to ask Chen Shiping for help.

After listening to Liu Zhenwei's words, Chen Shiping pondered for a while and said: "The script you mentioned is a bit absurd. It is a cult film. There may not be a market in the mainland. It is not suitable for co-production."

In fact, there are many cult films in the mainland, and the famous cult label is Xiying Film Studio.

However, the box office of these movies is not very high, but there are still many audiences who like this kind of novelty movies.

The 1992 Black Rose that Liu Zhenwei mentioned is not strictly a fantasy film.

The reason why Chen Shiping is not optimistic is that most of the content in the movie is about things that happened in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, and mainland audiences will not feel anything after watching it.

Liu Zhenwei also knew the content of his movie. Seeing that Chen Shiping was not optimistic about it, he took a step back and said, "Can director Chen help solve the investment problem?"

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I can invest, but how much money do you have left?"

This movie's box office is very good, and it was among the top ten in Hong Kong's annual box office in 1992.

If you have money to make, then make it. Guan Zhilin is busy speculating in real estate in Xiangjiang, so he has to do something serious.

After hearing Chen Shiping's promise, Liu Zhenwei thought about it and said, "I have only raised two million now, and there is still about two million left."

"No problem, I'll have someone contact you later." Chen Shiping finished with a smile and turned to look at the other directors.

"I also know what you guys are thinking. You all want to work together to attract investment. Let's do this. You can submit an application and come to the factory."

"Thank you so much, Director Chen!" Several directors smiled and raised their cups and said, "I'd like to toast you with tea instead of wine."

Chen Shiping raised his hand and said, "Don't be anxious. Wait until I finish. Beijing Film Studio is currently building a producer center. If you come to co-produce, you must follow our model."

Several directors froze when they heard this, but they had thought of this possibility before they came over. They quickly reacted and said with a smile: "That's right. The producer system is more mature. I hope that under the leadership of Beijing Film Studio Make a great movie!”

When Chen Shiping heard what they said, he raised his teacup and clinked it with them.

Now that all the directors' issues have been discussed, only Cheng Long and Shi Nansheng are left. Shi Nansheng's issues are not urgent and can be discussed privately later. We need to discuss Cheng Long’s problem carefully.

"I heard that you want Ssangyong to enter the mainland market?" Chen Shiping said proactively.

Cheng Long quietly looked at Shi Nansheng, then shook his head and said, "The main reason I came here is to get to know Director Chen. I don't have any responsibility for the movie. I'm just an actor."

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows in surprise. Cheng Long was quite slippery. He was taking a step back and didn't want to owe so many favors.

"So what do you think of the mainland film market? Have you ever thought about coming to the mainland to make a few movies?"

Cheng Long couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. How many more films will he make? Chen Shiping is planning to use himself to death!

Damn it, I should have known I wouldn’t have come to the Mainland. If I didn’t come to the Mainland, the initiative would be in my own hands. If I came to the Mainland, I would owe someone a favor for no reason.

He is Cheng Long! Cheng Long is famous all over Asia!
Drinking and sex make things worse!

Chen Shiping didn't care about him and said with a smile: "The factory has recently produced a few copies of police and gangster movies. I think they are pretty good. Are you interested?"

Cheng Long could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes, of course! It's an honor for me to come to the mainland to film."

"That's good, but the funds in the factory are relatively tight." Chen Shiping pointed to several Xiangjiang directors next to him and said, "If you have to invest in them, the salary for you may not be too high."

Cheng Long said helplessly: "It's okay. Director Chen did me such a favor, and the remuneration is easily negotiable!"

Chen Shiping laughed, it seemed like he was not that bad after being raped by Yu Feihong yesterday.

Cheng Long's salary is in the tens of millions, so he can save a lot of money.

Saving money is not a big deal. With Cheng Long joining the team, not only will the family class be available, but the factory's experience in shooting action movies will also increase.

This is the most critical thing. Even if there is no Cheng Long in the future, the factory will be able to master the routine of shooting action movies.

After finishing the meal, Chen Shiping was still very happy. He didn't do anything, he just slept with Yu Feihong, and then he got so many benefits.

When Chen Shiping came out of Shangri-La, a ridiculous idea came to his mind. How about finding some rich women to let him sleep.

What a damn shortcut!
But just think about it and forget about it. If you really do it, you won’t be able to face it.

If he wanted to eat soft rice, Chen Shiping would have eaten soft rice long ago and waited until today.

Just thinking back, it seems that women have helped me a lot since I became rich.

When Chen Shiping returned home in the evening, he found that Tao Huimin was having a tea party with several girls from the theater troupe.

"You're back!" Tao Huimin smiled and pulled Chen Shiping over and said, "You're not going home, so where are you going to socialize?"

"Have a meal with some Xiangjiang directors." Chen Shiping explained and looked at Tao Huimin's little sisters.

They were all actors from the Beijing Film Studio. When they saw Chen Shiping, they all stood up and called the director sweetly.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "You guys chat, I have some work to do, so I won't disturb you anymore. When I come here, I will treat myself as my own home."

After chatting with Tao Huimin for a few words, he went to the study.

After Chen Shiping went to the study, several women started chatting.

Lin Fangbing said with a smile: "This is the first time your husband has such a good face. He used to have a straight face in the factory."

Fu Yiwei said: "This is not the first time I have met him. When we were on the Red Mansion crew, he liked to get close to the actresses."

"I'm here to find Hui Min. Why are you so excited?"

"Haha, that's true. I still remember the first time I met Chen Shiping at Director Xie's house, he and A Min were flirting with each other!"

Several girls chatted and made Tao Huimin feel embarrassed.

Tao Huimin interrupted them and said, "Don't laugh at me, let's get down to business. This script is well written, aren't you? Will you act in it?"

"Act, I like this script too, but doesn't the story of the dance troupe seem a bit earthy?"

"Go and ask Writer Chen to give him a name."

Tao Huimin was a little moved, so he stood up and said, "Then let me ask."

In the study, Chen Shiping had just opened the notebook where he wrote the script when he was hugged from behind by Tao Huimin.

"You're finally back. I miss you so much."

Chen Shiping touched Tao Huimin's little hand and said, "I miss you too. I call Lao Song every day and scold him for having to travel so far to film a movie."

Tao Huimin chuckled and said, "He is the director of the factory, how dare you scold him."

"He delayed my reunion with my wife. Why are you scolding him?" After Chen Shiping made a joke, he looked back at her and asked, "Why don't you chat with the little sisters?"

Tao Huimin then got down to business and asked Chen Shiping to help choose a name for the TV series.

Chen Shiping hasn't read the script yet, but since it's about a dance troupe, it would be good to call it Youth.

"Fanghua?" Tao Huimin's eyes lit up as he muttered, "That's the name! I like it!"

After saying that, he ran away happily, leaving Chen Shiping alone in the study.

Chen Shiping shook his head in amusement, sat down and looked at his notebook. After thinking for a while, he wrote the outlines of the two scripts: Red Zone and Police Story 4.

Chen Shiping is not lazy and does not write the script, but wants to train the editors in the literature department, write the outline and let them expand on it.

After writing these two outlines, Chen Shiping thought about it and wrote the outline of the script to rescue Mr. Cheng.

We can change the big nose thing this time and create a script to rescue Mr. Cheng.

After writing the three outlines, Chen Shiping looked at the outline of the red zone, thought for a while and added a lot of content.

With the current craze for going abroad so serious, we need to take more photos of the experiences of Chinese people after going abroad. Don’t always think that you can make a lot of money by going abroad.

You can’t make it at home, and you can’t even make it abroad!
Da Saba is filming, but the things mentioned in it are not very specific and do not show the life of those people who go abroad.

It would be good to use the red zone to make up for it, and I have to add another TV series!

Let's go back and let Feng Xiaogang and the others write about Beijing people in New York, and then let Xiao Baicai invest in filming.

After Chen Shiping finished writing several movie outlines, he listened to the chatter and laughter of several girls outside the study and wrote another script outline.

Now that we have already made a youth TV series, we will add another movie. When the time comes, the TV series will be released first, and then we will add a movie, which should have good box office results.

Looking at these things written, Chen Shiping didn't want to continue writing, so that was it for the time being.

I will take it to the Literature Department tomorrow and let them write it first. The routines of commercial film scripts must be familiar to the factory as soon as possible.

After the beginning of spring, Chen Shiping no longer has time to take care of film creation, and the establishment of a branch in the factory will also be put on the agenda.

Next year is a crucial year. If we get it right, we won't have to worry about it for the next ten years.

If Beijing Film Studio can develop according to its own vision, it may not be worse than China Film Studio in the future!
When the two merge, Chen Shiping can't even imagine how powerful China Film will be!
