Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 206 I want to expose Chen Shiping’s corruption!
Man is a very strange creature.

Sometimes you don’t know how much potential you have unless you push hard.

Hesitant personality? Then just push it.

Zhou Xingxing wants to get rid of Yongsheng and make money, but he doesn't want to pay liquidated damages.

How can there be such a good thing in this world?

However, Chen Shiping felt that Zhou Xingxing might also want to use himself to counter Yongsheng.

Aren't you unwilling to raise the price? Then I'll find someone to stand up for me. If you don't raise the price, I'll leave!
Chen Shiping didn't care what Zhou Xingxing thought, from the moment he took the initiative to speak, he had only one way to go.

Otherwise, he would force Yongsheng to play with him, and he couldn't bear the consequences!

Wang Jin ran over at this time and said to Zhou Xingxing: "Go and touch up your makeup and continue shooting later."

Zhou Xingxing didn't want to talk too much to Chen Shiping in front of Wang Jin, so he turned around to touch up his makeup.

"Director Chen, is he talking to you about Yongsheng?" Wang Jin said straight to the point.

Chen Shiping didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes, what? What do you think?"

"Yes!" Wang Jin said proactively: "I also want to come to the mainland to develop!"

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Yongsheng treats you well, right? Why did you leave?"

"No, no, no, I'm not leaving Yongsheng. I just hope to come to the mainland for development in the future."

Wang Jin took the initiative to explain: "Yongsheng has been helping me. I can't betray him when I get rich. It's too unloyal."

Chen Shiping nodded lightly, Wang Jin was indeed in a state of decline at the beginning, and it was Yongsheng who supported him all the way.

The situations of Wang Jin and Zhou Xingxing were different. Zhou Xingxing had already started to rise when he joined Yongsheng.

In Zhou Xingxing's eyes, it was himself who helped Yongsheng develop, rather than Yongsheng helping himself.

Zhou Xingxing and Wang Jin have completely different views, so their demands are also different.

Chen Shiping knew from the beginning that a man like Wang Jin would not betray Yong Sheng easily.

"It's good to come to the mainland for development. I support it." After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he looked at the time and said, "There are still things in the capital. I'll go back first and come back in a few days."

Wang Jin frowned when he saw that Chen Shiping was unwilling to have a deep conversation with him, wondering what Chen Shiping was thinking.

Is it possible that I have to choose one of the two?

But Yong Sheng has taken the initiative to bow his head now, and there is no fundamental conflict with Chen Shiping, so there is no reason to kill them all.

This is too overbearing.

Qiu Shuzhen on the other side saw Chen Shiping leaving and immediately followed him.

"Director Chen, are you leaving?" Qiu Shuzhen followed Chen Shiping's fast footsteps and asked pretending to be curious, "Why are Zhou Xingxing and Fatty looking for you?"

Chen Shiping stopped, smiled and said: "Business secrets, I have to go back to the capital first, you can have a good time filming here."

Qiu Shuzhen looked at Chen Shiping's leaving figure and already had the answer in her heart.

Fatty Wang must be trying to run away! As for Zhou Xingxing, she could guess it without even using her brain.

But Qiu Shuzhen didn't expect that Fatty Wang would want to run away. It makes no sense for Yongsheng to be so kind to him.

Qiu Shuzhen was a little confused whether to tell Xiang Tai that the damn fat man had sent her out to pave the way for her. She really wanted to strangle him to death!

Chen Shiping had already driven back to the capital.

There are too many things to do in the film studio, and Chen Shiping will not waste too much time on a movie like The Deer and the Cauldron.

Just go back and change the producer to keep an eye on it, and then ask Shi Nansheng to go over and supervise the work.

Jiang Wen's movies are what Chen Shiping valued.

This guy locked himself up and wrote the script for more than a month. After talking to him a few days ago, he suddenly had an idea. He didn't know how the movie turned out.

Jiang Wen has already finished writing the script, and he never had the confidence to be a director before.

I always thought that I had no experience and had only been an actor, so I wanted to study and further my studies before going back to filmmaking.

But after chatting with Chen Shiping that day, he suddenly understood something.

Directing is like writing a novel, you just need to know the words.

Talent is innate, experience is never what a director needs most.

Time will give anyone experience, but it will not give you talent!

Jiang Wenzheng locked himself up and thought about how to turn words into pictures. He needed to imagine and turn words into movies in his own mind.

It's just that the process of imagining made him very painful. He had too many ideas. He always thought of them one second and was overthrown by himself the next second.

Liu Xiaoqing came over to bring food to Jiang Wen at this time. Seeing that he was sweating all over from the heat sitting alone in the room, he went over to wipe his body.

"What's wrong? We encountered another problem. Didn't we meet with Shi Ping and figure it out?"

Jiang Wen raised his head and pointed at his head and said: "Here, there are too many ideas here! I am in a tangle of constant construction and destruction."

Liu Xiaoqing couldn't help but said: "It's useless to think about it. You have to take pictures. Things in your mind are blurry, but the camera won't deceive you."

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and asked, "Where is Chen Shiping? I want to see him!"

Where could Chen Shiping be? He was still driving back to the factory.

Driving alone was too boring, but his mind was also rapidly thinking about what movies to shoot in the future.

Domestic directors always have the idea that commercial films should also have the quality of artistic films.

Even if he is making a commercial film, the director still wants to win awards at film festivals.

A movie that cannot win awards is not a good movie!

This idea is good, but in the rapidly advancing film market, such creation is too slow.

Just like Sunny Day and Farewell My Concubine, both art and business go hand in hand.

And few directors are able to balance the two.

Mainland directors can never change this problem, but Chen Shiping now needs a large number of commercial films to fill the market.

If the director in the factory is not good enough, he can only go on stage to demonstrate to them.

If he were to shoot a blockbuster, Chen Shiping wouldn't worry about leaving it to someone else. Even if Zhang Yimo came, he would be worried.

After all, Zhang Yimo was not that mature at this time.

Chen Shiping thought about it all the way, and it was almost time to get off work when he returned to the factory.

After running to the production department to assign someone to go to the set of The Deer and the Cauldron tomorrow, Chen Shiping went home.

After returning home, I saw Jiang Wen in the yard looking up at the ginkgo tree with his hands behind his back.

The laughter of Liu Xiaoqing and Tao Huimin also came from the kitchen.

Chen Shiping's footsteps attracted Jiang Wen's attention.

"I'm back." Jiang Wen seemed a little cautious, not sure if it was because he would ask for money later.

Chen Shiping nodded, placed his briefcase on the stone table in the courtyard, and shouted to the kitchen that I was back.

"Sit down." Chen Shiping looked at Jiang Wen and said with a smile.

After Jiang Wen sat down, he didn't know how to speak. He used to be an actor and someone else asked him to act.

Now that I have become a director and have to take the initiative to ask for money, it feels a little awkward no matter how I think about it.

Chen Shiping smiled and felt that he was still a little immature and had not yet become the domineering director he would later become.

"Are you ready?" Chen Shiping asked with a smile.

Jiang Wen nodded and said, "The script has been written."

"I'm asking if you are ready."

"Ready!" "Okay, come to the factory tomorrow."

At this time, the gauze curtain in the kitchen was also pushed open, and Tao Huimin and Liu Xiaoqing came out and said with a smile: "It's time to eat, let's chat while eating."

The appearance of the two women also eased the awkwardness between Jiang Wen and Chen Shiping.

When two men are together, they both have strong personalities and a different aura.

What's more, Jiang Wen felt that he was a dwarf this time, and he couldn't let go.

But when we got to the dinner table, after two cups of Erguotou, the conversation started among a few people.

We don’t talk about work, just some interesting things in the industry.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Wen excused himself to go out for a smoke, and Liu Xiaoqing took the initiative to say to Chen Shiping: "You read a version of the script before. How much investment is required? I have a lot of money here."

Chen Shiping asked with a smile: "Sister Qing, are you not afraid of compensation?"

"It doesn't matter if you pay for it, not to mention you are here, I'm not afraid."

Liu Xiaoqing laughed and complimented Chen Shiping.

After all, Chen Shiping is different now than he was five years ago.

Chen Shiping did the math and said, "I made an estimate. Normally five million would be enough. But considering that Jiang Wen is a director for the first time, I might add another three million."

"So much?!" Liu Xiaoqing was a little dazed. Normally a five-million-dollar movie would be a big production.

Chen Shiping directly opened it up to 8 million, which was a bit too scary.

"It's not much. I'm not worried enough." Chen Shiping thought of Jiang Wen's temper and couldn't help but said:

"It's not wrong to be more prepared, but the factory can't provide all of this money. I will find a part of it from Xiangjiang to invest."

Beijing Film Studio is not taken advantage of. If it spends so much money to invest in people outside the factory, people will gossip about it.

Liu Xiaoqing took the initiative and said: "Then I will pay you one million, so you don't have to be embarrassed."

"No problem, the factory will provide another two million, and I will take care of the rest."

"So is this movie still considered to be from the factory?"

"It needs to be in sync, otherwise it won't be easy to operate."

After chatting for a while, the matter was settled.

The next day when Chen Shiping arrived at the factory, he received the script from Jiang Wen. The script was approved by the co-production department and transferred to the production department in less than ten minutes.

The production department saw that the name of the person in charge was Chen Shiping, so they approved the script without even reading it, and then officially approved the project.

However, this incident still attracted a lot of attention and criticism in the factory.

"With two million invested by outsiders, isn't the factory strapped for funds?"

"That's right. This is Jiang Wen's first time as a director. He should give the money to his own people."

"The project decided by the factory director, I heard it was Liu Xiaoqing who found the factory director. Liu Xiaoqing originally invested in the factory director, so the factory director could shoot Xu Sanguan."

"Return the favor?"

Everyone in the factory felt that Chen Shiping was returning a favor, so they would inevitably complain in private.

The directors in the director's room are also talking about it.

"When Lao Teng was rejected before, he thought he, Chen Shiping, was fair and selfless, and that he was not suppressing dissidents."

"Lao Xia, didn't he pass the script?"

"They're all excuses. What kind of script can Jiang Wen, an actor, write?"

"Chen Shiping is using his power for personal gain."

"Shh, stop talking, be careful if you look back like Lao Teng."

Teng Wenji also knew the news, and he was furious, but he quickly calmed down and felt that this was an opportunity.

Chen Shiping used his power for personal gain and used money from the factory to repay his favor.

At that time, he also said that he was looking for his little love when he made the movie, why don’t you fucking mess around!

File a complaint! Must complain!

Otherwise, I won’t be able to swallow this breath!

But it's definitely not possible to go to Song Zhu. He is closer to Chen Shiping than to his own son!

Go to the bureau! I don’t believe that no one can control you, Chen Shiping!
Chen Shiping was also in the bureau at this time. He came over for a meeting and brought Jiang Wen's script over for review.

After a while, people from the review department of the bureau read the script and officially approved it.

"This script is pretty good, Old Chen. Did you help Jiang Wen write it?" the director of the review department said to Chen Shiping with a smile.

Chen Shiping snorted and said, "He is very proud. I said I would write it, but he refused to do it. But the script is indeed good."

"Haha, this kid Jiang Wen is also very energetic."

"Who says otherwise? I am very optimistic about him."

"Your vision must be right. I'm waiting to see the finished film. Don't be like Farewell My Concubine, where the finished film doesn't match the script."

Chen Shiping smiled awkwardly, there was nothing we could do about it, so why did he still reveal his shortcomings?
On the other side of the bureau, Teng Wenji was criticizing Chen Shiping in the boss's office!

"Boss, Chen Shiping is using power for personal gain. He won't give me my script, just someone else. Shanghai Film Studio said at the time that they would invest in me!"

The leader looked at him and said, "Then it would be the same if you went to SIPG to invest."

Teng Wenji choked and said angrily:
"Something happened later. I'm not talking about Chen Shiping's problem. Leader, you need to check him carefully. I suspect that he has embezzled a lot of money secretly!"

"Then why don't you collect the evidence and give it to Ji Wei?"

"."

Teng Wenji was confused, why did the leaders of the bureau treat Chen Shiping the same as his own son!
If he had evidence, why would he come to the bureau?
"Don't talk about corruption, let's talk about investing in Jiang Wen. He just wants to repay Liu Xiaoqing's favor. What kind of movie is this for eight million? I don't think it's right for the two million in the factory!"

"If you have any evidence, give it to Ji Wei."

"."

Teng Wenji almost wanted to scold her, what kind of leader is this!
Gone, never come again!

The world is so big that there is no reason to reason? !

When Teng Wenji came out of the leader's office, he happened to bump into Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping looked at him in surprise and immediately understood what he was doing here.

So he shook the document in his hand and said, "Director Teng, what a coincidence."

Teng Wenji snorted and left without looking at him.

If you weren't too old, I would have punched you!
Seeing Teng Wenji's leaving figure, Chen Shiping couldn't help but cursed: "A clown!"

However, he also heard a lot of rumors in the factory, especially the directors in the director's room who had been rejected for some projects.

This matter really needs to be dealt with, otherwise it won't sound good.

Even Song Zhu told Chen Shiping about this in a roundabout way.

After all, we will take another step forward next year. It is always not good for these rumors to appear at this time.

Chen Shiping sighed and had no intention of going to the leader's office for a cup of tea.

The key is to go back to the factory and sort this out.

It’s not that he is using power for personal gain. Then show them this script and make them convinced.

If you are still not convinced after reading the script, then don’t blame Chen Shiping for being rude!
