Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 192 The big devil is coming

The Beijing Film Studio was extremely busy, and all the workshops were running at high speed.

The actor troupe is very busy all day long. There are several projects in the factory at the same time, and there are too many actors in need.

People from the production department and the literary department go to the theater every day to select actors.

When Chen Shiping came to the Department of Literature, for the first time, he felt that the Department of Literature was not a senior care department.

In the past, when I was here, everyone would either drink tea and chat, or take time off to go out, which was a waste of time.

Now that the reform has taken place, the Department of Literature is so busy that the status of screenwriters has skyrocketed.

I used to work passively, but now I work actively.

The factory's quotas have been liberalized, film genres have been liberalized, and royalties have doubled. Who doesn't want to work hard?

Jiang Huaiyan was sitting in the office, reviewing manuscripts, when he saw a few more sheets of manuscript paper in front of him.

"Put it aside, I'll look back later." Jiang Huaiyan said without raising his head.

Chen Shiping smiled and coughed slightly and said, "Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Huayan raised his head when he heard Chen Shiping's voice.

"How did you come?"

Jiang Huaiyan sighed and said, "Now that you come to the Literature Department, I get a headache. It's even worse than when you made trouble at work here."

Chen Shiping pulled up a chair and sat down, smiling and saying, "Teacher Jiang, your words are really hurtful."

"You have the nerve to say, do you know how many messy ideas these little brats can come up with in a day!"

Jiang Huayan feels that he has aged several years recently.

I have to review manuscripts for young editors and screenwriters every day. If I am slow in reviewing, I will be pushed.

In the past, he was the one who urged editors to write manuscripts, but now he is rebelling against Tiangang!
In fact, it was also his fault that Jianghuai was so serious about himself. He only approved the ideas and manuscripts produced by the Literature Department before sending them to the Production Department.

Otherwise, all the mess will be thrown away, and it will be a disgrace to the Literature Department.

Chen Shiping curled his lips silently, going to work is not just about work.

Looking at the several manuscripts handed over by Chen Shiping, Jiang Huaiyan asked: "What is this? Will you also review the scripts you wrote for me?"

"It's just an outline. You can just find a few screenwriters to expand it." Chen Shiping paused and added, "Just let them finish writing and give it to me directly. This will relieve you of the pressure."

"Thank you!"

Jiang Huaiyan rolled his eyes, picked up the manuscript and read it. After reading it, he let out a long sigh.

"It's still comfortable to read your manuscript. It has all the characters, rhythm, and contradictions. You don't even know what these brats are writing these days!"

Chen Shiping laughed and said, "Teacher Jiang, why are you starting to flatter me? This is my outline."

"Your outline is enough for them to learn!" Jiang Huaiyan said with wide eyes, as if Chen Shiping would never finish it if he didn't recognize it.

Chen Shiping had no choice but to nod, and deliberately changed the topic and asked, "Why haven't you seen Teacher Wang Ruitao recently?"

"Lao Wang went to Shanghai for a meeting."

Jiang Huaiyan suddenly laughed and said to him: "You don't know, Lao Wang praises you to the sky now. He used to look down on you, but now he praises you as much as he wants."

"Teacher Wang is such a good person." Chen Shiping said with emotion: "Although he didn't like me before, he didn't reject my script."

Jiang Huaiyan said unhappily: "That's what I tried to protect!"

"Yes, yes, thanks to Teacher Jiang!" Chen Shiping asked with a smile: "Is Shanshan graduating soon? Are you ready to come to the factory?"

Jiang Huaiyan frowned and said, "We're already married, so don't be so intimate."

Chen Shiping: "." Lao Deng, are you still guarding me? !
But it is understandable that fathers want their daughters to marry a good man.

Chen Shiping was obviously not a good person in Jiang Huaiyan's heart.

The two chatted in the office for a while, and then Chen Shiping left.

The outline is handed over, and the rest depends on how the screenwriters write it.

I think it won't be too bad. If it doesn't work well, just go back and rewrite it!
Love Letter took two days off from filming, and Chen Shiping wasn't that busy.

I walked around the various workshops and listened to the factory director's greetings all morning.

In the afternoon, as soon as Chen Shiping returned to the co-production department, Shi Nansheng came over.

Chen Shiping looked at Shi Nansheng and said, "I guess you will come today."

"I can't hide anything from you." Shi Nansheng smiled and sat across from Chen Shiping and told him his purpose this time.

"In addition to the directors who came here this time, there are two other directors who want to come to the mainland for development."

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who?"

"You both know Chen Jiashang and Du Qifeng." Shi Nansheng said with a smile.

When he heard Du Qifeng's name, Chen Shiping frowned. This guy's stance was not good, and some of his remarks were not very good.

Seeing Chen Shiping frowning, Shi Nansheng felt a little strange.

Chen Jiashang has worked with him once, and Du Qifeng is also a famous director in Hong Kong.

Isn’t it a good thing that everyone is willing to go north to develop?

"Chen Jia is pretty good. We had a good time cooperating with him last time." Chen Shiping paused and said, "But this Du Qifeng doesn't seem to be that good."

At this time, Du Qifeng had not yet developed his own unique style, and the more classic gangster and police movies had not yet been made.

Shi Nansheng explained: "The few comedy films he made were pretty good. This time he came up with a new script. I thought it was very good, so I recommended it."

Chen Shiping hummed and did not continue talking about Du Qifeng's problem. He turned around and asked, "What's going on with Chen Jiashang?"

"It's Yongsheng." Shi Nansheng said proactively: "Yongsheng found me and wants to cooperate with the mainland."

"Why are you and Yongsheng getting involved again? Princess Jin has no objection?" Chen Shiping asked curiously.

Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "Princess Jin is also facing many problems now. Wanwan has completely stopped cooperating with Princess Jin."

Chen Shiping knew about this. When Wanwan wanted to enter the Xiangjiang market, Princess Jin refused to enter.

The satellite company owned by Princess Jin also went bankrupt, and no one was filming anymore, leaving only the theater chain in hand.

Otherwise, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng would not be allowed to come to the mainland to find a way to survive, but now it seems that Shi Nansheng also wants to kick his old club.

Chen Shiping is happy to see this happen. The old theater chain companies in Xiangjiang will reshuffle their cards if they do not develop well.

Yindu's Shuangnan Cinema Chain may have the opportunity to grow and fully control the Xiangjiang film market from production to cinema chains!
Chen Shiping's mind was spinning, but he didn't show it on his face. He deliberately said, "I've been asking him to settle the matter involving Yongsheng and Zhang Min. Now you still want to cooperate?"

Shi Nansheng said speechlessly: "My girlfriend has already taken me out, so why do you still want to settle the score?"

"It has nothing to do with me!"

After Chen Shiping finished speaking seriously, he changed the subject and said, "What does Yongsheng mean? They can't do it, and I don't like it."

Shi Nansheng explained: "Yongsheng only involves entertainment and will not involve other things." "Some things are not calculated that way." Chen Shiping said with a frown.

Seeing how determined Chen Shiping was, Shi Nansheng couldn't say anything.

Du Qifeng doesn't want it, and neither does Yongsheng. I didn't come here in vain.

I originally wanted to come over this time to show off my influence in the mainland.

Now, it’s a joke.

Chen Shiping also knew Shi Nansheng's thoughts and took the initiative to join him. It was unjustifiable not to give him some benefits.

Otherwise, those people in Xiangjiang will definitely talk behind their backs about the mainland not accepting them, which will be counterproductive.

First stabilize the Xiangjiang side, and then slowly encroach on them, taking full control from production to theaters!

So he thought for a while and said: "Cooperation is not impossible. I am still very optimistic about Chen Jiashang. Let him find other companies."

Shi Nansheng felt that Chen Shiping was fooling the children, so he pointed it out directly:
"This is not a director's problem, but an attitude problem towards certain film companies in Hong Kong. Should they all be beaten to death with one blow?"

Chen Shiping knocked on the table and said: "Of course I know what you are talking about, but who makes Yongsheng the biggest? He will be the first to win, or you can ask him to find someone else."

"You won't interfere? Do you think I believe it?"

Shi Nansheng said persuadingly: "Even if we only cooperate once, it will help stabilize the minds of those people. Many people are now more inclined to go to Wanwan for development."

"Even if you want to rectify them, you can do it slowly. When they cut off cooperation with Wanwan and can only rely on the mainland market, you can do whatever you want."

Shi Nansheng said so straightforwardly that Chen Shiping did not continue to stretch his arms and said directly: "I can give you the opportunity to cooperate, just as a show, but there can't be any negative things in the movie."

Shi Nansheng immediately said: "I promise not! They are all from costume comedies, and they are all going to be played by Zhou Xingxing. Yongsheng just wants to give money."

"I know that Guan Zhilin's company can also participate, otherwise there will be no need to discuss it."

Chen Shiping added another condition, and Shi Nansheng hesitated and said, "Ten percent at most!"

"Okay, I'm just helping an old friend." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Shi Nansheng was speechless. Who in Xiangjiang doesn't know that Guan Zhilin is your white glove!
Chen Shiping was thinking about what happened between Zhou Xingxing and Yongsheng at this time, and felt that this might be an opportunity.

Without Zhou Xingxing, Yongsheng would be half dead. If Fatty Wang was poached away, Yongsheng would be basically dead.

It’s not bad to work together once and directly dig into Yongsheng’s foundation.

Chen Shiping thought for a while and said, "I won't cooperate with Du Qifeng. You tell Yongsheng to replace him with Wang Jin."

"No problem, but can I know why you don't like Du Qifeng?"

"His political leanings are questionable."

"."

After coming out of Chen Shiping's office, Shi Nansheng felt a little scared. How did he know that Du Qifeng had a problem!
Thinking of the people who rescued Cheng Long that day, Shi Nansheng suspected that there were pairs of invisible eyes around him.

In her heart, she was even more afraid of Chen Shiping. She wondered whether his coming to Hong Kong to stir up troubles was the instruction from the mainland, and he wanted to promote 1997 in terms of culture and entertainment.

Chen Shiping didn't know yet that he had been misunderstood, but even if he knew, he didn't care. It would be better this way.

Shi Nansheng returned to Shangri-La with a heavy heart and once again reviewed his cooperation with Chen Shiping.

Only after I was sure that following Chen Shiping would be beneficial and harmless, I felt completely relieved.

"No wonder Chen Shiping dares to be so strong. It turns out there is someone behind him."

Shi Nanchang breathed a sigh of relief and then called Xiangjiang.

"The matter is settled, but Du Qifeng can't do it. Chen Shiping wants to replace Wang Jin. I can't say the specific reason. I can only say that Chen Shiping doesn't like Du Qifeng."

"You guys can film it yourself. I heard that Wang Jin is working on the script of The Deer and the Cauldron. Let's change it to The Deer and the Cauldron."

"There is no problem with Chen Jiashang. Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier himself is a well-known figure among the people in the mainland."

"Yes, but there are conditions. The movie cannot be negative, and Chen Shiping's company must be included, 10%."

After Shi Nansheng said a lot, he took credit for himself and said: "Chen Shiping doesn't like you, and everyone knows about Yongsheng's background.

It took me a lot of effort to get it done, but this is also your opportunity. Maybe you have the opportunity to cut it cleanly, at least it can be cut on the surface. "

After Shi Nansheng said this, he said on the other end of the phone: "Thank you very much. If I need more help from you for these two movies, I'll leave it to you to be the producer."

"You're welcome, let's just say that." Shi Nansheng smiled and hung up the phone.

This time, she helped several directors secure investment and promoted Yongsheng's cooperation with the mainland. Her voice in the Hong Kong film industry will increase in the future.

Investors in Wanwan have withdrawn their capital. Those who have no money to make movies or have no way to enter the mainland market, all come to me!

Shi Nansheng was happy to be Chen Shiping's agent in Hong Kong.

While Shi Nansheng was busy talking on the phone with Xiangjiang, Chen Shiping was also on the phone with Director Liao.

Director Liao is about to retire, and there is still one year left. Maybe we can develop the Shuangnan Cinema Line within a year.

It can also be regarded as a successful conclusion to one's work.

Chen Shiping and Liao Dong chatted on the phone for a long time, and they didn't hang up until they got off work in the evening.

After hanging up the phone with Director Liao, Chen Shiping was not in a hurry to go home and called Mr. Li from Zhonghe again.

Next year, Mr. Li will go to Yindu to take up a post, and I need to report these matters to him.

You can’t do things behind your back, you have to let the leader see it, otherwise you won’t be working overtime in vain!

Ten minutes later, Chen Shiping drove home humming a song.

The future of the Chinese film and television industry is already in our hands!
With the booming Beijing Film Academy, the future behemoth China Film Academy, and the addition of Xiangjiang, Chen Shiping felt that he was about to become an oligarch.

The future film and television industry will be shrouded in the shadow of Chen Shiping!
Why does he feel like a villain? Chen Shiping couldn't help but laugh at himself.

But it doesn’t count as controlling the film and television industry. There are still TV series that I haven’t intervened in.

As for the TV series, Chen Shiping is not in a hurry and has no intention of getting involved.

Let Xiao Baicai go and have fun and see what she can achieve this time.

When Chen Shiping returned home, Tao Huimin had already prepared the meal.

"Burning the ribs?"

Chen Shiping smelled the fragrance before he even entered the house, and immediately ran to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.

He now likes to eat pork ribs the most, but every time he eats it, he thinks of Hachigong, and he doesn't know if that boy Yu Hua treated him badly.

Yu Hua wrote a letter some time ago saying that he was planning to divorce and would come to the capital to settle down in a while.

Chen Shiping was still looking forward to being able to drink with this guy again, but he just forgot one thing.

The movie promised to Yu Hua has not been filmed yet.

　There is one more chapter that will be a little later, something was delayed today.
