Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 211 Yongsheng is coming to an end

(The previous chapter is out. There is no charge for this trip.)
"Director, it's time to get off work! Please drive slower!"

Chen Shiping nodded across the car window to the old man in the communication room, then turned the steering wheel and left Beijing Film Studio.

The uncle looked at the direction Chen Shiping was leaving and couldn't help but muttered: "I haven't been home for several days. How much does it cost to go out to eat every day?"

Chen Shiping has been accompanying Chen Hong these days. He told Tao Huimin that he was busy with preparations for a new movie. Tao Huimin didn't ask any questions and just said he would come back after his work.

Chen Hong seemed to be playing house these days, acting like a good wife and mother all day long, but going crazy at night.

Chen Shiping felt that he had to go to the hospital to see if he needed a vaccine.

This crazy girl is so cruel!
What women need from men is nothing more than material foundation and emotional value.

Don’t ignore the emotional value even if you have a material foundation, otherwise it will be difficult to sustain it for a long time.

It's good to let Chen Hongfa go crazy, otherwise sooner or later he will have to hold it back.

When Chen Shiping drove to Chen Hong's courtyard, Chen Hong was returning with a bag of vegetables.

"Guess what's for dinner!" Chen Hong asked mysteriously while holding the dish.

Chen Shiping glanced at the chickens and turtles in the vegetable basket and said, "Isn't it Farewell My Concubine?"

"Farewell my concubine, don't use so many modal particles!" Chen Hong snorted and said, "You missed one count yesterday, I'll make up for it today!"

Chen Shiping: "." It's killing people. This is really crazy!
But go crazy, he likes it too!

In the evening, Chen Shiping was forced to drink two full bowls of soup, which contained not only chicken and turtle but also a bunch of indiscernible medicinal materials.

"Where did you learn this soup?"

Chen Hong bit her spoon and said, "Didn't you know that Jiangxi's clay pot soup is famous?"

Chen Shiping said "Oh" and forgot that Chen Hong was from Jiangxi. No wonder the cold noodles were mixed so well.

"Finish your drink. Come into the house with me after you finish your drink!" Chen Hong said, licking his lips.

Chen Shiping hummed and sat there not wanting to move. He had just finished eating, could he take a break?

It's just that his opinion didn't matter and he was directly dragged away by Chen Hong.

When Chen Shiping got up the next morning, everything was different.

He lay on the bed and patted Chen Hong and shouted:
"Go buy breakfast. Don't buy the fried dough sticks and soy milk from the store at the entrance of the alley next door. Go to Liji at the other end of the alley to buy them, and buy two sesame cakes."

Chen Hong sat up in a daze, feeling that something was not right. Isn't this his own line?

"Today is the fourth day, it's your turn!"

Chen Hong felt like she had been dreaming for several days. Chen Shiping, who looked like an uncle, couldn't help but put his hand into the quilt and gave it a firm squeeze before jumping out of bed.

Chen Shiping lay on the bed and curled up into a ball and shouted: "Chen Hong! You are finished!"

"Ang! I just played it! Haha!"

Chen Hong's arrogant laughter came in, and Chen Shiping couldn't laugh or cry.

However, after a few days, she became bright and cheerful again, and she did not evolve in the direction of a poor Yao heroine.

After Chen Shiping finished breakfast and kissed Chen Hong goodbye, he went to work.

The factory has been very busy these days, and Chen Shiping still has a lot of things to do.

The filming of both parts of The Deer and the Cauldron has been completed, and the post-production process is also very fast. It is expected to be completed in another month.

By then Chen Shiping will transform into a mountain eagle.

But before that, Zhou Xingxing's film appointment must be secured first.

The liquidated damages for four movies are tens of millions, which is an astronomical figure in this era!

Chen Shiping had to ask Guan Zhilin to sell two houses before he could get the money.

But you can make it back later, so it’s not too much trouble.

Zhou Xingxing's ability to attract money is pretty good, and he can make money back with at most two movies.

The Deer and the Cauldron was completed, and Zhou Xingxing took the time to return to Xiangjiang to prepare his portion of the liquidated damages.

He was so heartbroken that he just gave out millions of dollars to Yong Sheng to make two movies!
But if you can get a salary of tens of millions for the next movie, you can make money back all at once.

Otherwise, if I keep working for Yong Sheng, I would have to make three movies to earn tens of millions.

Zhou Xingxing really loves money, he loves it to the core.

Celebrities in Hong Kong all love money, but people like Zhou Xingxing are really rare.

Chen Shiping didn't think there was any problem with this. Everyone in this world has something they like.

He likes power, so it's not surprising that Zhou Xingxing likes money.

When Guan Zhilin received a call from Chen Shiping, saying that he wanted to sell the building to get money, he was still a little unhappy.

"Why pay him liquidated damages? You didn't sell the property to invest in your own movie, but spent it on others."

Guan Zhilin really didn't understand what Chen Shiping was thinking.

"My own movies may not necessarily make money, so I can spend other people's money with peace of mind." Chen Shiping said with a smile, "Okay, don't worry about this little thing, you can vote for Zhou Xingxing's movies from now on."

Guan Zhilin's eyes lit up and he said immediately: "I know you won't do business at a loss! I'm going to sell the property now!"

After Guan Zhilin finished speaking, he wanted to hang up the phone, then quickly picked it up and shouted, "Have you decided on the heroine of your movie?"

"No, you want to act too?" Chen Shiping asked curiously.

Guan Zhilin said quickly: "I don't have time, I asked for someone else."

"Who?" Chen Shiping asked curiously.

Guan Zhilin smiled and said: "There are many, such as Zhang Manyu, Wang Zuxian, and Mei Yanxi, who you don't like."

Chen Shiping clicked his tongue and said, "Okay, this time the actors will be selected from the mainland. Just tell them not to think about it."

"I got it, then I'm going to sell the property first, and we'll talk later." Guan Zhilin hung up the phone and took out his photo album to flip through it.

In the album are photos of houses, with the address and area written on them in marker.

Guan Zhilin flipped through more than ten pages before stopping and selected two houses in remote locations.

She is now a well-known real estate speculator queen in Hong Kong, and her assets are increasing every day.

In the past two years, the films that Xiangjiang has co-produced with Beijing Film Studio will go through her company and get part of the investment quota.

Some movies get investment with money, and some movies get investment with no money at all.

The boss of the film company is too enthusiastic to refuse.

In this society, any leather bag company that can continue to operate is very profitable!
Guan Zhilin originally thought that he loved money, but after he really got money, he found that it was not interesting.

Now that I have money, I find the emotion and security I need.

But even if she doesn't love money as much as before, she still likes the feeling of making money.

Watching the assets in the account increase every day, I feel really safe!
Thinking that he could continue to make money by investing in Zhou Xingxing's movies in the future, Guan Zhilin became very happy, hurriedly put on lipstick and went out to sell properties.

Chen Shiping is waiting for the funds to be available to negotiate with Yongsheng to terminate the contract. Being able to give him money is already giving him face. At least Yongsheng got tens of millions of liquidated damages in vain. If he turns around and wants to do something to Zhou Xingxing, don't blame him for being rude.

Let's go back to Zhou Xingxing and give him an official status, such as an ambassador for film and cultural exchanges between the two places.

Just let the higher-ups give instructions and the Directors Association will issue it.

Chen Shiping didn't want to worry about Zhou Xingxing's safety 24 hours a day, so he just gave Yongsheng a name to let Yongsheng know who Zhou Xingxing was.

Chen Shiping really felt that he was treating him better than Zhou Xingxing's boss. If he didn't make his money back in the future, he would have to break his legs!
Let him never make any money in his life!

Two days later, Guan Zhilin's funds were in place, and with the money sent by Zhou Xingxing, all the liquidated damages were collected.

Chen Shiping called Yongsheng directly.

"Hello, Boss Xiang, I'm Chen Shiping." Chen Shiping sat in the office with his legs crossed and said casually: "Zhou Xingxing came to me two days ago and asked me to be a peacemaker."

"It's nothing serious. He didn't offend anyone. He just wants to terminate the remaining film contract with you. He is willing to pay liquidated damages."

"Oh, don't be angry. He still has three films that have been finished but have not been released yet. He is pretty good."

"It won't affect our cooperation. I'm just spreading the word. The main reason is that the higher-ups are very optimistic about him and want to choose him to be the ambassador for film and cultural exchanges between the two places."

"Okay, that's it. The money will be transferred to your company's account later. Once The Deer and the Cauldron is edited and submitted for review, it can be promoted and released."

Chen Shiping said as he hung up the phone, hummed a song, picked up his notebook and started drawing stick figures on it.

The storyboard for Life and Death has not been completed yet.

Looking at the stick figures he drew, Chen Shiping shook his head helplessly. After drawing storyboards for so many movies, his painting skills had not improved at all.

I really have no talent for art. Painting is too difficult!
Who can win prizes for drawing?

Just when Chen Shiping was complaining about his stick figure, Mei Juan knocked on the door and came in.

"Director, Farewell My Concubine will be released next week, do you have anything to add?"

Chen Shiping said without raising his head: "No, you can just watch and figure it out. I will not participate in the publicity. My status is inappropriate."

"You know, I haven't arranged any publicity for you, only actors. If there's nothing else to say, I'll leave first."

Mei Juan said she was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Shiping again.

"When The Deer and the Cauldron is submitted for review, go over and help me deliver the box of Dendrobium to Director Zhang of the review department."

Chen Shiping pointed to a box of tea in the corner of the bookcase, and said to Mei Juan: "The review must be more careful, stricter, and according to the standards."

Mei Juan didn't react immediately. Are there standards for review?
But looking at Chen Shiping's expression, she turned around and asked curiously: "The factory has also invested a lot of money, wouldn't it be bad if it fails to pass the trial?"

"Don't worry about this. Just do as I say."

Mei Juan hummed and went out, still curious about the reason.

But when I think about being so busy and having to go to the bureau, I feel that the dark circles under my eyes are getting worse again.

But this kind of thing can only be done by her, and Chen Shiping will definitely not show up.

Mei Juan looked back at Chen Shiping's office and wanted to move her desk to the door to be his secretary.

You have to do everything yourself, just like a secretary.

At this time, Zhou Xingxing, who hurried back to the mainland to film Su Qier, received a call from Shota. He was sprayed before he even opened his mouth.

Zhou Xingxing silently put the phone away. After he finished speaking, he wanted to say a few words for himself, but the phone was hung up.

Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but smile and was too lazy to say anything to Shota.

Calling people to curse is a sign of incompetence and rage, which shows that Chen Shiping has really suppressed them.

But according to Shota's character, he will probably do other things later.

Soon Zhou Xingxing received a call from a friend in Xiangjiang, saying that Yongsheng had told the public.

Threaten to ban him in Xiangjiang!
Zhou Xingxing didn't care very much. It wasn't a fatwa, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Now Zhou Xingxing just feels free, and he can finally take on other movies and make a lot of money!
At Su Qier's crew meeting, Chen Jiashang looked at Zhou Xingxing's expressionless face and smiled rarely.

So I couldn't help but ask: "What happened to you to make you so happy?"

Zhou Xingxing shook his head and said it was okay, but pulled Chen Jiashang to discuss whether he could shoot faster.

This was the last movie he made for Yong Sheng. He just wanted to finish it quickly and then take on other movies, or find someone to make the movie himself.

If Zhou Xingxing puts his brand here, he won't be afraid that no one will ask him to make a movie!

Although Yongsheng has developed rapidly, it can only be regarded as the second echelon among film companies in Hong Kong.

Jiahe is still here!
Even if it's not easy to make movies in Xiangjiang, it's the same in the mainland. Directors have all gone north to develop their careers, so it's not unusual to have an actor.

As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter where you go to make movies.

In the original time and space, Zhou Xingxing offended Yongsheng and remained silent for several years. In the end, the mountain eagle helped him so that he could make the subsequent movies.

Both are mountain eagles, but Chen Shiping's one is bigger and harder!
Wang Jin, who was preparing for the Demon Cult Leader at Beijing Film Studio, also received the news and had mixed feelings in his heart.

Shota scolded Zhou Xingxing for a long time on the phone, but he didn't even respond.

He understands Zhou Xingxing and Shota.

So it was best not to say anything, but Wang Jin was a little curious about how Zhou Xingxing's character could take out money.

Could it be that Chen Shiping helped give it to me? Then Zhou Xingxing will not be allowed to sell his body in the future?

Somehow, I'm still a little envious of Zhou Xingxing. It wasn't Chen Shiping who made the profit by selling himself to Chen Shiping, it was Zhou Xingxing who made the profit!

Wang Jin also thought about it at this time. Is Chen Shiping going to deal with Yongsheng?
When I dug myself out of Yongsheng, I was preparing to take away both of Yongsheng's supports!
Thinking that Chen Shiping even made a special trip to the crew when The Deer and the Cauldron was being finalized, Wang Jin suddenly couldn't sit still!

That was Chen Shiping giving him a chance!

If he rejects Chen Shiping, he will definitely think of other ways to deal with Yongsheng!

As for what method to use, you still have to think about it? ! This is the movie we are currently co-producing with Yong Sheng!

Tens of millions of investments in four movies will be wasted!
Yongsheng can’t bear it!

When Wang Jin thought that it was his refusal that caused Chen Shiping to use this method, he felt very regretful.

He can't get his share!
But why did Chen Shiping choose this time to help Zhou Xingxing cancel the film contract?

He should know that I can guess it, so he won't worry about me confessing to Yongsheng?

Wang Jin suddenly realized that it was too late to confess.

The initiative is in Chen Shiping's hands. If he says you are stuck, you will be stuck!

Chen Shiping did this deliberately to show himself!
I must be hated by Chen Shiping! We must find a way to solve this problem!

"Zhen! Zhen! Can you help me once?"

"Yongsheng is going to die. He can't get into the Wanwan market. Chen Shiping has to deal with him again. From now on, it can only be the same as those tertiary film companies in this city!"

"I don't want to shoot a third-level film. Please help me and Director Chen to beg for mercy!"
