Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 272 Why do you point a gun at me!
“If you want to be in good health, drink Jianlibao!”

In the warm restaurant, his wife held up the Jianlibao drink with a dignified smile and walked up to Truman and put down the Jianlibao.

His wife's expression was weird, and Truman's expression was even weirder.

He couldn't understand why his wife always said the advertisement seriously.

This is so strange.

But this happens from time to time, even many times a day.

Sometimes this happens even during cold wars and quarrels.

Chen Shiping stared at Zhou Xingxing with a very satisfied expression.

His acting skills are really underestimated by many people, and his acting ability is overlooked by many people under the nonsensical comedy.

"I passed! Wen Li performed well, and the stars are also good!"

After Chen Shiping praised him, he started to change seats for the next game.

He needs to focus on finishing the commercial first, which he wants to show to clients first.

Many people may not have thought that a literary film could make money before it was even shot.

There are eight advertising sponsorships in total, and the price quoted for each advertisement is astronomical.

Chen Shiping's movies can be shown around the world, and the advertising power of this kind dwarfs that of CCTV.

If you don’t pay me a sky-high price, can I pay you a price? !
But Chen Shiping is not that bad. These advertisements range from 5 million to 10 million.

Anyway, it’s much cheaper than CCTV.

Although the movie will only be released for more than a month, the video tapes, VCDs, etc. will still be released in so many regions, and these advertisements will exist forever.

As long as movies are around, these ads will be around!
If Chen Shiping's film becomes a classic among classics, perhaps these advertisers will go out of business a few decades later, but these advertisements will continue to exist.

Isn’t this a good deal!
So the price is not expensive at all!

Moreover, those who have money to go to movie theaters are from relatively good economic conditions. What a high-quality customer group this is!
The total revenue from these advertising revenue is nearly 50 million!
Not counting the direct recovery of costs, we also made more than 10 million!
The subsequent box office sales are all net profits!
The investment in the film and television city and coastal town is all in vain!
Advertising revenue is a really good thing.

In the past two years, domestic enterprises have had money but no place to spend it.

CCTV advertisements are sold for astronomical prices of hundreds of millions. Who dares to say that domestic companies have no money.

Jianlibao's annual turnover of 2 to 3 billion, this figure exceeds the national film market a few years ago.

And their profits are much greater than those of movies.

The main character is a wealthy person!
Chen Shiping felt like he was losing money even if he didn't ask for more money.

Thanks to all walks of life for sending film development funds!
The media were shocked when they found out that Chen Shiping's new film was making money before it was even filmed.

Can movies still be played like this?
Didn’t you make a literary film?
This is a fucking commercial film, I’ve never seen such a commercial film before!

Many people in the crew are also confused, such as Zhou Xingxing. It’s not like he has never advertised before, but this is the first time he has seen this way of making money through advertising.

It’s really fair and honest advertising!
But it fits the theme of the movie quite well, and it’s full of irony!
This world is a huge Truman world!
On the set, Zhou Huimin was quite helpless. She had very few scenes, so she came early to show respect.

Who would have thought that Chen Shiping would shoot commercials first and not take her seriously at all.

Now I can only wait on the set.

Chen Shiping announced that he would take a half-hour break after filming two commercials.

Chen Shiping looked at Zhou Huimin, who was sitting in the yard and sunbathing in a sun hat, walked over and said with a smile: "I didn't want to film a scene with you, do you mind?"

"I don't mind, it's okay!" Zhou Huimin said immediately.

So what if you mind, you won't take care of me.

"It's good if you understand. Advertisers have paid so much money and we are waiting to see the results." Chen Shiping said and sat down, opened a bottle of Jianlibao and took a sip.

Jianlibao is no worse than Coca-Cola and tastes very good.

Chen Shiping handed a bottle to Zhou Huimin and said, "Try the soda from the mainland, it's very good!"

"I have drunk it." Zhou Huimin said with a smile: "Jianlibao is very famous."

"Is Xiangjiang also sold? I haven't been to Xiangjiang in a year or two." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Can you singers also drink this kind of carbonated drink?"

Seeing that Chen Shiping was quite approachable, Zhou Huimin became bolder and said with a smile: "Okay, but as a woman, you still have to drink less, or you will gain weight."

Chen Shiping couldn't help laughing and said: "Actresses all have body anxiety, but you have a good figure. Maybe it would be better if you were a little fatter."

"Thank you for the compliment. Is this the director's request for the actors?"

"No, no, no, don't think too much about it, it's just a personal opinion."

After the two of them finished speaking, they fell into silence, each drinking Jianlibao without communicating.

At this time, the sea breeze blew gently outside the house, and Zhou Huimin's humming suddenly came to Chen Shiping's ears.

She was swaying slightly and singing, like a girl full of worries.

Zhou Huimin was still very beautiful when she was this age, but she started to decline after she was in her forties.

Now she really looks like a girl in her early twenties.

When Zhou Huimin saw Chen Shiping turning to look at him, he smiled and continued singing without shyness.

Chen Shiping felt quite comfortable listening to the song and enjoying the sea breeze.

That's the good thing about making an art film, it's leisurely and there's not that much pressure.

Chen Shiping's film output is actually not high, and this one is only six and a half.

He is not a very experienced director, but he has done a lot of work as a producer and written a lot of scripts.

Filming is simple and easy, not to mention the producer system, so there is almost no need to worry about early preparations.

Just join the group directly.

Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Shiping's leisurely appearance and felt that he was completely different from the directors he had worked with.

Is this the calmness of a great director?

Quite charming.

After Chen Shiping took the last sip of his drink, he turned to look at Zhou Huimin and said, "You sing very well."

Zhou Huimin said thank you again and asked with a smile: "Have you heard of my songs?"

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "It's the first time I heard it, and I kind of regret not listening to it earlier."

Zhou Huimin was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Chen Shiping to be so honest.

Embarrassingly honest.

"Then I'll give you some records next time." Zhou Huimin went back and added.

"Then I'm looking forward to it!" Chen Shiping stood up with a smile and said, "I'm going to work first. If you're bored, you can wander around."

"Okay." Zhou Huimin adjusted his sunhat and stood up and walked towards the seaside.

Chen Shiping looked at her back, glanced at her long legs, and then looked back into the room.

Jiang Wenli and Zhou Xingxing were still acting at this time, and their scenes were relatively difficult.

Both of them are serious actors, so they couldn't take any time off during this break.

It is quite difficult to make the advertisement sound just right and awkward, without too strong a sense of separation, and also pay attention to the acting skills, characters and emotions.

Chen Shiping interrupted them directly and said, "Let's start shooting." Shooting these commercial scenes was quite fast.

The shooting lasted until night, and Chen Shiping only shot five commercials.

I'll shoot the rest tomorrow.

The crew now lives in a seaside town, and several houses have been specially arranged for the crew to stay.

After dinner in the evening, Chen Shiping, who was bored, wanted to go fishing again.

The crew prepared a small sailboat just for him to use when going out to sea.

With the staff who can sail the boat, Chen Shiping is ready to go to sea.

When we were at the pier, we saw Zhou Huimin wandering on the beach from a distance.

Chen Shiping waved to her, then took his equipment and boarded the boat to go to sea.

Zhou Huimin thought Chen Shiping was inviting her to go with him, so he quickened his pace and saw him leaving in a boat before taking two steps.

So irritating!

Pretending to be sentimental!
Zhou Huimin wandered on the beach for a while and then went back.

It's quite cold at night at the beach.

The next day Chen Shiping appeared on the set with panda eyes, yawning and continuing to work.

Sea fishing is addictive. The key is that Chen Shiping didn't catch much last night. The more he couldn't catch a fish, the more he wanted to squat down and catch a big one!
Then I squatted until midnight when I couldn't stand it anymore, and then I came back.

Let’s continue shooting commercials today!
After dinner in the evening, Chen Shiping felt energetic again!
Go fishing!

While on the beach, Chen Shiping saw Zhou Huimin again, waved to her and then got on the boat and went out to sea.

Zhou Huimin learned to be smart this time and smiled at Chen Shiping from a distance.

On the third night, Chen Shiping went to sea again, and also met Zhou Huimin.

Day four.
Day five.
On the evening of the sixth day, Chen Shiping still went fishing with his equipment, but this time he met Zhou Huimin on the dock.

It seemed that Zhou Huimin was closer to the dock each time in the past two nights.

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Going out for a walk again?"

"Well, are you going fishing again?" Zhou Huimin asked deliberately.

Chen Shiping hummed, looked at Zhou Huimin's eager eyes, hesitated and said, "How about we come together?"

"Okay! But I don't have any equipment!"

"It's okay, I'll lend it to you."

After boarding the ship, Chen Shiping heartbrokenly lent Zhou Huimin a set of equipment.

Zhou Huimin pretended not to see it and humbly asked for advice on how to do it.

Although Chen Shiping wanted to catch his own fish, he couldn't ignore others.

This girl is also fun-loving. She likes painting and playing billiards. She has participated in competitions and won awards for playing billiards.

I guess I would like to come and have fun after seeing Chen Shiping go fishing every day these days.

Chen Shiping taught her little by little how to adjust the fishing rod, from the sea hook to the buoy to the casting line and so on.

After teaching for more than ten minutes, Chen Shiping didn't care whether she understood or not, and ran away to fish quickly.

Chen Shiping didn't have time to talk to her at all, because Zhou Huimin was on board, and the ship didn't sail very far tonight.

I don’t know if it can be shipped tonight!
I have been holding it in for so many days, I must catch a big one today!
Chen Shiping began to wait with confidence.

Five minutes. Ten minutes.
Zhou Huimin finally couldn't help but said: "Can I speak?"

Chen Shiping was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes."

Zhou Huimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought I couldn't speak. It's been so long and there's no movement at all. Are you just waiting like this?"

Chen Shiping nodded and said: "You have to be patient when fishing!"

Zhou Huimin sighed and said, "Okay, aren't you bored fishing alone every day?"

"No, why would it be boring?"

"There are no fish and no one is talking. Wouldn't it be boring to just sit like this?"

"No, I do it every night."

Before Chen Shiping finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Huimin's buoy moving from the corner of his eye!

Fishing!
Finally got hooked!
But why does it belong to Zhou Huimin? Why did she catch the fish when she was just playing around!
So angry!
If I hadn't brought her here, this fish would have been mine!
Zhou Huimin hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod and shouted: "What are you doing! I won't be able to catch it!"

Chen Shiping's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over and said, "Let me help you!"

Chen Shiping excitedly grabbed Zhou Huimin's hand and started to control the fishing rod. If it weren't for Zhou Huimin's fear that he was robbing her fish, Chen Shiping would have squeezed her away!
Chen Shiping stood behind Zhou Huimin and grabbed the fishing rod and said: "Don't pull hard, but have a rhythm to consume the fish's energy!"

Chen Shiping rhythmically reeled in the line and pulled the fish, not noticing that Zhou Huimin's face turned red.

Every time the fishing line was confiscated, Chen Shiping would push it back.

Zhou Huimin raised his head slightly and glanced at Chen Shiping, finding that his face was serious and his eyes were full of excitement, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Zhou Huimin wanted to remind him, but was too embarrassed to say it. Just when he wanted to let Chen Shiping take care of him, he heard Chen Shiping shouting excitedly.

"It's gone! It has no strength! Haha!"

Zhou Huimin didn't even close her mouth when she was blocked by Chen Shiping.

He squeezed the edge of the cabin and watched him excitedly reel in and drag the line.

Zhou Huimin felt like he was going to be squeezed to death.

Didn't you notice that the cabin is very soft today?
Chen Shiping really didn't pay attention, and now his mind is full of fish!

After pulling for a few more minutes, Chen Shiping finally saw this big guy!
By the time he pulled the fish up, Zhou Huimin felt like he was going to collapse.

I was squeezed to death!
Chen Shiping looked at the snowflake bass that was still jumping around and felt quite energetic!
This fish weighs at least thirty kilograms.

Chen Shiping threw the fish on the deck and then noticed Zhou Huimin lying on the edge of the boat with her butt stuck out.

Chen Shiping then remembered that he seemed to have been backing others just now.

This is embarrassing!
Chen Shiping coughed lightly and pulled Zhou Huimin back and said, "Is it okay? This fish is too big and it really takes a lot of energy."

Zhou Huimin gave her a resentful look, it was the fish's problem!

But looking at the fish still jumping on the deck, she immediately forgot what happened and shouted excitedly: "It's so big, did I catch this?! I'm so awesome!"

Chen Shiping: I caught "emmm"! ! !
Two minutes later, Zhou Huimin threw the pole again excitedly.

ten minutes later
"Another fish is hooked!" Zhou Huimin shouted excitedly: "Come and help me!"

Chen Shiping was so angry that he wanted to throw his pole away!
But he still ran over to help her, but this time he couldn't concentrate so much.

After a few pulls, I felt something wasn't right, and I was instinctively excited!

Zhou Huimin also felt something different, why was the bulge still there this time?

Why do you point a gun at me?
But the fish still had to be caught. Chen Shiping pulled and pulled, and Zhou Huimin's face became redder and redder.

My pants are stuck in the seam!

Stop pulling that crappy fish!
It's all sizzling!
