Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 223 The frustrated Han Laosan
"Shi Ping, you and Xiao Min are not young anymore. If you have children, you have to have them."

"Yes, we also want to have a grandson soon."

At the dinner table, Tao's father and Tao's mother were talking about it, and Chen Shiping could only nod and say as soon as possible.

Tao Huimin stabbed him next to him and said, "He doesn't want it now. He said he has been promoted to factory director and is busy with work. What can I do?"

Chen Shiping: "." You would betray your husband just to avoid being scolded, right?

Dad Tao picked up the cup and clinked it with Chen Shiping and said, "I know you are busy, but Xiao Min doesn't go to work. If you are worried about the trouble of taking care of the child, we can come over to help."

"Dad, what you said is that we will work hard this year! Try to have twins!" Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Tao's mother immediately said excitedly: "Dragon and phoenix twins are the best! You don't have to worry about family planning."

"Yes, yes, let's work hard! Let the second elder have a grandson this year!"

We can only deal with it like this for the time being, otherwise what else can we do.

Fortunately, Tao's father and Tao's mother would be leaving tomorrow, otherwise Chen Shiping would be talked about to death.

The next morning, Chen Shiping breathed a long sigh of relief after sending Tao's father and Tao's mother to the train station.

This Chinese New Year is finally over.

It's nice to celebrate the New Year with the elders, but it's hard to be pushed to have children.

Now that Tao Huimin's parents have returned to their hometown, Chen Shiping can feel at ease.

As soon as I got home, I lay down on the sofa and shouted like an uncle: "Little cabbage! I want to eat an apple."

Tao Huimin knew that it was unfair to push Chen Shiping in front of him to block the gun during the Chinese New Year, so he immediately ran to wash the apples and bring them over.

Chen Shiping took one look at the red apple and said, "I don't eat the skin."

"Then I'll peel it for you." Tao Huimin ran to peel it again.

After a while, Chen Shiping looked at the peeled apple and picked at it and said, "How can I eat it when it's so big? Cut it into small pieces."

Tao Huimin: ".Whether you like it or not."

After saying that, he stuffed the apple into Chen Shiping's mouth, hummed and left.

Chen Shiping was speechless, why was his anger getting worse and worse.

However, the apples were very sweet and juicy, so Chen Shiping was very happy to eat them.

Chen Shiping will take office at the end of the new year.

No, no need to go around, just take office directly!
On the first day after work started, Chen Shiping felt that nothing had changed after arriving at the factory.

Everyone still calls him Director Chen.
There is no sense of accomplishment at all!

But when he met Han Laosan, he immediately felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Director, this is the deputy factory who has just been transferred. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

After Mei Juan took the initiative to introduce, she did not leave Chen Shiping's office and stood in the corner like a transparent person.

Chen Shiping glanced at her and knew she wanted to watch a show.

Forget it, the capable subordinate is too lazy to criticize. Mei Juan is considered his little apprentice, and she always needs to be lenient.

Many people like to cultivate capable female subordinates because they are easy to control.

Men are different. They might just want to stab you one day.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Han Chang, I have finally come to you. Xiaomei will go and pour the tea."

Mei Juan immediately turned on the phone, looked at Han Laosan and asked, "What kind of tea should you drink?"

Although she was talking to Han Laosan, Mei Juan kept looking at Chen Shiping out of the corner of her eye.

If Chen Shiping asked her to make high foam, she would make high foam; if she asked to boil water, she would pour boiled water.

Han Laosan would never say what kind of tea he wanted to drink, he would definitely say whatever he wanted!
"Anything is fine." Han Laosan said with a smile.

Chen Shiping hummed and looked at Mei Juan and said, "Look, the tea leaves are all on the shelf."

Mei Juan immediately understood and ran to pour tea. The good tea leaves were all in the cupboard. Chen Shiping said that those on the shelf were just bad tea leaves.

Han Laosan smiled and said to Chen Shiping: "I have admired Director Chen for a long time. I have watched Farewell My Concubine no less than five times."

Mei Juan secretly looked back to see Chen Shiping's reaction, and quickly made tea and brought it over.

You have to eat melons fresh!
Chen Shiping smiled and said, "I've also watched your movie, and it's pretty good."

"Nothing compared to you."

Han Laosan took the tea from Mei Juan and thanked her before saying:
"Director, I don't know when you will have time today. I want to talk to you about work. I just came here and I am not familiar with the place. I don't know what to do."

Mei Juan stood in the corner and couldn't help but curl her lips, what do you mean, you want to drive yourself away?

"Today may be inconvenient. The Spring Festival is not over yet, and there are still annual production meetings to prepare for."

Chen Shiping paused and said, "Let's let Mei Juan take you around the factory to familiarize yourself with the environment."

After saying that, Chen Shiping didn't give Han Laosan any time to answer. He looked at his watch and stood up and said:

"There should be news from the distribution department. I'll go there first. Mei Juan, you take Han Factory around."

Han Laosan put the tea down to his mouth again.

Chen Shiping greeted Mei Juan and went out.

Mei Juan smiled and said to Han Laosan: "Deputy Factory Han, can I take you around?"

What else could he do? Han Laosan reluctantly followed Mei Juan out.

I have been transferred here, but I don’t know the specific work, who I have to hand over to, or where the office is.

I originally wanted to talk to Chen Shiping about these issues, but now I can only wander around the factory.

Mei Juan was also happy and relaxed, and she took Han Laosan around like a tour guide in the past few days.

After walking around the factory, I went to the branch and also went to Chengde, where I stayed for an extra day.

For several days in a row, Han and the other two people were numb, and all the departments and branches in the factory were treated like iron buckets by Chen Shiping.

He would be warmly received wherever he went, but when it came to talking about serious matters, everyone would falter.

The annual production meeting is about to be held, and he can't even participate in the formulation of the production plan, and he can't even inquire about the situation!

The question is, get familiar with the environment first, and don’t be in a hurry about work!
To be familiar with the environment, I have been here for several days and I am already familiar with it!

When can this work be started?
You weren’t brought here to be a mascot!

It wasn't until the factory's annual production meeting that Han Laosan saw Chen Shiping again.

But at this time, the annual production plan has been completed.

Han Laosan didn't know anything about the situation. He sat on the stage and panicked, sighing secretly that his life in the future was probably not going to be easy.

At the production meeting, after Chen Shiping finished his opening speech, he smiled and said to all the employees: "Another deputy factory has come to the factory this year. Let Factory Han say a few words to everyone."

Han Laosan breathed a sigh of relief, now that he had a chance to speak for himself.

After just adjusting the microphone, he got a little stuck.

During the production meeting, I didn’t know anything, and I didn’t know the specific situation in the factory last year.

This is ridiculous! I’m so frustrated!

I can only introduce myself and say some non-nutritious scene talk.

Han Laosan turned into a transparent person after saying a few useless words.

The employees in the factory now know that there is such a factory director, but they still don’t know what the director is responsible for.

After the production meeting was over, Chen Shiping looked at Han Laosan and said, "Factory Han, come and sit in my office?" "Okay, I've been wanting to chat with you, but you're really too busy."

"Hey, I'm just worrying about it. Now that the Korean factory is here, I can be lazy in the future."

The two walked towards the main building talking and laughing. Anyone who saw it would see a scene of unity and friendship.

After arriving at Chen Shiping's office, Han Laosan felt helpless as he watched Chen Shiping sitting on a comfortable chair.

So he deliberately said: "Director, there is a lot of information in your office. It is piled everywhere."

"The office is tense, so we can only deal with it." Chen Shiping said pointedly before asking Han Laosan to sit down.

Han Laosan sat down without changing his expression, showing no anxiety or dissatisfaction.

If there is no office, then there is nothing. If we wait a few more days, what can we do?

Chen Shiping didn't target him intentionally, but Han Laosan was ambitious and had a good background.

Chen Shiping had to figure out whether he was a friend or an enemy first, but after testing him for the past few days, Han Laosan's performance was pretty good.

He showed no eagerness to take power.

No leader called Chen Shiping to "care" about Han Laosan.

This makes Chen Shiping feel a little more relieved, but we still have to look at the specific delegation of power.

At the very least, he needs to know who to listen to in this factory.

Save yourself the trouble of playing devil’s advocate later.

In the office, Chen Shiping said with a smile: "How have you been getting to know each other these days?"

Han Laosan said with a smile: "It's very good. I've gone to understand each department. It's much better than my original factory. I still need to learn more from you."

"Learn from each other." Chen Shiping handed over a document from the table and said:
"After you are familiar with the situation, you still need to start work as soon as possible. Here is the situation of theaters in each province. You can go back and find out first. After you are familiar with it, you will be responsible for the distribution work."

Han Laosan looked at the thick pile of materials and breathed a long sigh of relief. The scope of work had been clearly defined, and it was also a key department.

However, I don't know how long I will have to look at this information. It depends on when Chen Shiping is willing to let him go to the distribution department.

After Han Laosan and Chen Shiping chatted for a few words, they took the materials and left.

Chen Shiping leaned on his chair and dialed the internal line to call Mei Juan over.

After a while, Mei Juan ran over, looked at Chen Shiping and asked, "Director, what do you want from me?"

Chen Shiping pointed to his teacup and said, "Go and make me a cup of tea."

"Oh." Mei Juan walked over and picked up the cup and said, "How about I arrange a full-time secretary for you."

"Okay, look back." Chen Shiping looked at the documents in his hand and asked casually: "How do you feel about being in contact with Korean factories these days?"

Mei Juan poured tea and said, "Slippery."

Chen Shiping smiled and waited for Mei Juan to hand over the tea before he looked up and said, "You have to keep an eye on him in the circulation department these days. If he comes to you, just tell him what he has to say. Everything else remains as usual."

Mei Juan asked curiously: "Are you really going to hand over the distribution department to him in the future?"

"Don't you think he's slippery? It's just right for distribution." Chen Shiping handed over the documents in hand and said, "Go and prepare. I will go to Hollywood next week."

"Can you take me with you?" Mei Juan asked enthusiastically.

Chen Shiping said funnyly: "When did I not take you with me? Hurry up and get ready to go."

"If I'm not here, no one will keep an eye on the Korean factory. Aren't you worried?"

"If the distribution department can be taken care of so easily by him, I will transfer you to the logistics department later!"

Mei Juan: "." Why did you blame me? You are in charge of the distribution department.

Time passed quickly, and Chen Shiping set out for Hollywood with the trailer of Life and Death and various information.

This is Chen Shiping's first time in Hollywood, but he doesn't have much expectations.

He's not Lao Li, so he won't be surprised.

After meeting Xu Feng in Los Angeles, the two met to discuss the situation of this Oscar.

There is no problem in winning the award for Farewell My Concubine. Xu Feng has spent a lot of money to find public relations people during this period.

Chen Shiping looked at Xu Feng who was a little tired and said: "It's been a hard work during this period. After so many years of work on a movie, it finally comes to an end."

Xu Feng said with emotion: "Yes, it has been many years."

Chen Shiping smiled and said: "But the reward is pretty good. Let's go and watch the trailer of Life and Death together."

More than ten minutes later, Xu Feng looked at the scene in the video tape with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"I kind of regret not being on the crew. It must be fun to shoot so many big scenes."

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "If you were here, you wouldn't be as surprised as you are now."

"That's true, this trailer will definitely shock many people!"

"Then let these egomaniacs in Hollywood take a look."

After a simple day of rest in Los Angeles, Chen Shiping started to get busy.

The Oscars are a feast for Americans. Foreign films come here to accompany them, and most people don’t care much about them.

Chen Shiping is somewhat famous in the film industry, but his previous films were all art films, and most American media did not pay much attention to him.

The Oscars are a fair for fame and fortune, and Chen Shiping's fame and fortune are not enough.

However, Chen Shiping also has media friends he is familiar with, so he does not lack exposure.

"Chen, are you confident about the Oscars this time? You will win awards every time you participate in the film festival, but the Oscars are different from other film festivals, and the results may be different."

"Of course I have confidence. I have full confidence in my film."

"Most American audiences don't know much about Chinese movies. The ones who know the most are Bruce Lee and Cheng Long. Do you think they will like Farewell My Concubine?"

"Of course, art knows no borders."

After Chen Shiping finished speaking with a smile, he added silently in his heart, "But the artist deserves it!"

After chatting with reporters for a few words, Chen Shiping took the initiative to change the topic to Hollywood commercial movies, and then to the speed of life and death he shot.

This time I am here to promote the speed of life and death!

When Chen Shiping was interviewed by various media, he would take the initiative to mention the speed of life and death.

The media is also invited to watch the preview of Speed ​​of Life and Death when the Oscar trading market is open.

I can only show these little foreigners the trailer, all they want is a gimmick.

If I really showed them the whole movie, I wonder what they would say!

Chen Shiping has no plans to enter the US market now.

After "Speed ​​of Life" achieves success in the Asian market, Hollywood film companies will naturally take notice.

At that time, the profit-seeking nature of capital will make them take the initiative to look for Chen Shiping.

Moreover, Hollywood has now noticed the changes in the mainland film market, and everyone is very greedy.

All companies in Hollywood are adjusting their development direction and focusing on overseas markets.

Naturally, we will not ignore the sudden opening and rapid development of the Chinese market.

Once Life and Death is released, it may be a good trading opportunity.

There is nothing wrong with the mainland importing a Hollywood blockbuster and Hollywood importing a mainland blockbuster.

Vanity Fair is not called for nothing, as long as it is profitable, there will be jackals in Hollywood!
