Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 279: Trembling with excitement!

The results report of Beijing Film Studio throughout the year is exciting.

Many people in the factory don’t understand it that clearly.

Now hearing Chen Shiping's report, everyone was extremely excited.

The branch companies that have been branched out have become leaders in various segments.

If this continues to develop, Beijing Film Studio will definitely become the largest and most powerful studio in Asia.

Chen Shiping looked at the excited crowd and couldn't help but knock on the microphone.

"Now that we've talked about the good stuff, now let's talk about the bad stuff."

The auditorium was instantly quiet, why was there still something bad?

"The sales of film magazines continued to decline last year, and they have ranked at the bottom of the industry! The Literature Department must bear the primary responsibility!"

The TV program production department is concurrently held by Mei Juan.

It seems that Beijing Film Studio has opened up the Asian film market, but its influence is still very small.

"Stunt aspects"

China Film's current business capabilities are really stretched. If it weren't for the high level of power in his hands, Chen Shiping wouldn't want to leave.

Han Laosan coughed lightly and began to announce next year's film production plan.

Han Laosan is in charge of magazines and newspapers.

Han Laosan sat next to Chen Shiping, muttering silently in his heart, it will be my turn to call the roll next year.

Chen Shiping nodded and asked, "Which department are you interested in?"

"The industrial management system of the Coordinating Department frequently makes mistakes. When will a perfect plan come out!"

The animation team is headed by Song Tao, the old director.

The studio is very mature in terms of film creation and distribution, but it is still weak in other aspects.

"The Film Economics Research Office will be axed, and a Culture and Entertainment Investment Department will be established this year, focusing on investment in the media industry in various Asian regions."

You first go to the Literature Department to deal with the issues of magazines and newspapers, and then lead a team out for inspections to learn how mature business magazines and newspapers are run. "

Chen Shiping mentioned more than a dozen reform tasks in one breath, but did not mention the direction of film creation.

Other branches will continue to be led by their original leadership teams.

After summarizing, it’s time to make plans.

Chen Shiping shook his head and said: "This is not easy to do, the investment involved is too large, and I don't have a clue yet.

If you want to truly control the entire Asian market, you can't rely on film quality.

Chen Shiping ignored the commotion below and changed it to a company system. He definitely couldn't do it if he still wanted to hang out and wait for death!
Even if you can’t get results, you still have to have an attitude!

"The production department has set up a separate animated film team, and I have hired Director Song back to take charge."

The several departments who were named in the audience all lowered their heads in shame. It was really shameless to be scolded in front of everyone in the factory!

Let’s do it step by step. If we finish it this year, we can directly pack up the Beijing Film Studio and take it away next year.

Business is not politics and cannot be confused.

Covering issues such as film type, creative direction, publicity direction, production quantity, etc.

"The Department of Culture and Entertainment Investment, I am familiar with this."

"The magazine of the Department of Literature has been completely overhauled and ceased publication. We will learn from mature foreign business magazine and newspaper models and establish a specialized media and newspaper company to attract more talents."

Han Laosan caught up and said with a smile: "Director, is the factory committee going to discuss the leadership division of the new department?"

"The Television Creation Center will continue its efforts in the creation of TV series and establish an additional TV program production department to expand its business scope!"

He was under a lot of pressure, and the departments he criticized were the key directions for his development next year.

Han Laosan: "." You have already made up your mind, so why bother asking me?
Soon the factory committee began to organize the leadership of the new department to be established.

The Culture and Entertainment Investment Department will be led by Chen Shiping.

The talented people in the Department of Literature and the Film Economics Research Laboratory are ashamed and angry. Many of them are old comrades.

Chen Shiping took a sip of tea and continued: "The departments just named must work hard to fight a good fight this year. I don't want to name them again next year."

"The distribution department should explore new publicity and distribution models, and at the same time, pay attention to studying the operating conditions of theater chains in various provinces and make preparations for the establishment of theater chains."

“The Film Economics Research Laboratory’s analysis of the Asian market has never been right!”

The future holds everything!
An hour later, the meeting ended, and Chen Shiping took his notebook and went to the office.

"It has been two years since the photofinishing company has not overcome the technical flaws of telecine transfer. We are about to enter the digital age. What are you doing!"

Chen Shiping was a little distracted listening to Han Laosan's words.

Chen Shiping does not know how to make frequent transfers. He has just started and has not yet found a stable position. Changing the leadership team will only cause trouble for himself.

Develop slowly and accumulate slowly.

Being singled out like this is really embarrassing.

Just like the current Beijing Film Studio Chen Shiping, if he doesn't pack it up and take him away, no one will be able to take over.

If it comes to personnel matters, there are many experts who are better than Chen Shiping.

But when it comes to professional stuff, they can’t keep up.

Not everyone can be a leader.

In the small cafeteria of Beijing Film Studio, Chen Shiping smiled and said to Song Tao, "I haven't had this bite for a long time."

Song Tao smiled and said: "I really thought about it, but Lao Zhang's cauliflower is still so badly fried, not crispy at all."

Chen Shiping laughed. Song Zhu had already raised this issue with the canteen, but the master chef of the canteen refused to change it.

There is no other way.

You have to eat it even if it’s soft.

After eating, Song Zhu and Chen Shiping walked around the factory together.

"I'm really not familiar with this kind of animated film. Shanghai Film Studio has been having a hard time in the past two years. There's no market for it."

Song Zhu didn't quite understand why Chen Shiping wanted to make an animated movie. There was really no market for it.

Children like to watch it, but they don’t have the spending power.

Even if some adults like to watch it, they are too embarrassed to watch it!
There is no market for animated movies.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Animation is not just for children. I used to read Manga King when I was in college, but it was a pity that it was discontinued."

Song Tao smiled and said, "People like you are in the minority."

"It's quite a lot. The animation is innocent, with a child's perspective and fun. It would be great if it adds an adult-oriented story."

Chen Shiping turned to look at Song Tao and said, "Have you watched the recent broadcast of The Condor Shooting?"

Song Tao nodded and didn't quite understand what Chen Shiping meant.

"Shooting the Condor is actually very similar to animation. Guo Jing's ideals and innocence, Huang Rong's playfulness and intelligence, all have the characteristics of children."

When Chen Shiping said this, he stopped and looked at Song Zhu and said: "Animation is a child's fantasy and an adult's ideal."

Song Zhen was silent for a while, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

"Actually, the most important thing when studying movies is studying psychology." Chen Shiping stretched himself and said, "Art and everything else are ultimately about people's psychological feelings."

Although Song Zhu didn't agree with Chen Shiping's statement, he felt that what he said made sense.

What art brings to people is psychological feelings. If a work of art can bring psychological stimulation to others, then it has artistic quality.

After Chen Shiping and Song Zhu chatted for a while, they left the factory.

He is not only the director of the film studio, but also the chairman of the Asian International Film Festival.

There is so much to do.

There is only one month left in the festival.

Filmmakers have already called to ask if they can come to Beijing in advance and if the organizer can provide relevant help. The so-called help is asking if food and accommodation can be included.

Chen Shiping was satisfied with this request.

It doesn’t cost much.

It would be the best if these influential filmmakers in their own country can understand China, fall in love with Chinese culture, and become Chinese celebrities!

In the film festival preparation office, Chen Shiping checked the work progress on paper and then went to check the actual situation.

The first stop was to the Shangri-La Hotel, where he had to go through the entire film festival process.

Chen Shiping got on the minibus arranged by the film festival in front of the Shangri-La Hotel.

In the minibus, the people in charge of all aspects of the film festival were a little nervous at this time.

"Chen Zhuxi (pronounced as "Chen Zhuxi"), the minibus route has been rehearsed many times, the courtesy cars are all ready, and the drivers are all outstanding employees specially transferred from the bus company."

Chen Shiping said nothing and glanced at the passers-by waving outside the car window. He frowned and asked, "Have you communicated with the traffic department? Have you made public announcements to citizens?"

"This has been communicated. The one just now may be from other places."

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "Let's repaint the body of the bus to make it different from ordinary buses and put a slogan on it."

"Okay! Let's do it later!"

Soon the car arrived at the Victory Cinema. Chen Shiping didn't go in. He had just gone in to watch a movie during the Spring Festival.

I know what is going on inside, and Victory Cinema will be used as a screening venue for the competition section.

Chen Shiping went to visit several other theaters.

After visiting all the screening venues, I got on the minibus again and headed to the Grand View Tower.

Soon they arrived at the Daguan Tower. Chen Shiping got out of the car and was quite satisfied with the renovated Daguan Tower.

The decoration inside is also very good, and the hardware conditions of the renovated theater have been upgraded to the best. The entire theater can accommodate a thousand people.

This will be the venue for press openings and press screenings.

From the Grand View Tower to the Temple of Heaven, and finally around to places such as the Beijing Film Studio and the Film Museum.

After going through all the procedures, it was already dark.

In the minibus, Chen Shiping said with a smile:

"Well done, we don't have much time left. We have to check and correct the flaws without making any mistakes! This is to show our style to influential cultural figures throughout Asia. There must be no flaws!"

Speaking of this, Chen Shiping smiled and said: "If you want to surpass the Shanghai International Film Festival, you can't be compared to others."

Everyone nodded in agreement and prepared themselves for the arrival of the film festival.

Time flew by, and two days later, the first batch of Asian filmmakers arrived in the capital.

It was the filmmakers from Batie who came, and Chen Shiping and Xie Tieli went to greet them.

The first people to arrive always have to be welcomed.

After settling the people of Badie, Chen Shiping handed them over to the staff for arrangements.

Pakistan's film industry is not developing well. The annual output of local films has not exceeded 100 for several years.

Before India and Pakistan were separated, their development was actually very good, far exceeding that of Chinese films at that time.

But it didn’t work anymore.

As a fun fact, some of the rules of the Chinese film market are actually based on those of Badie.

Pakistan has very strict restrictions on foreign films, especially Indian films.

For example, if you import one film, you must export one. For example, the total screening time of local films in theaters must exceed 85%.

This is all to protect the development of local films.

However, it has been nearly 30 years since Bati's film was released in India.

As for exporting to other countries, only China has imported a few movies so far.

One of them, which was quite popular at the time, was translated from Shangyu, and its name was Purity.

Batie is a bit overprotective of local films.

As a result, the film market has not developed and the film industry has lost a lot of talent.

Pakistan Railway urgently needs external forces to save local films. Pakistan Railway's studios are having a hard time surviving, which is similar to the situation of early domestic film studios.

That’s not accurate either. Batie’s film studio only has technical staff, not directors, screenwriters, or actors.

Pakistan has been actively communicating with foreign countries in recent years, and has co-produced movies with many countries including Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh.

But the final result was not very ideal.

This time I came here hoping to reach cooperation with China.

This time, a movie shortlisted by Badie is called Sargham, directed by Said Noor.

His status in Batie is similar to that of Zhang Yimo, and he is also a very powerful director.

But he is not very famous on the world stage.

It's not very good even among Asian movies.

There are many other countries and regions in a similar situation to Pakistan Railway.

These countries are Chen Shiping's goals. China has no religious or political conflicts with them and is the best partner for cooperation.

Hollywood looks down on them, and Japan and South Korea will not develop anywhere, but Chen Shiping does not dislike them.

Even though Badie seems to be in a miserable state now, its film market can generate tens of millions of dollars a year.

In such a sluggish situation, there is still a market worth tens of millions of dollars. If we develop it well, we can still make this market bigger.

You don’t need to invest too much, you can even just pull over equipment that has been eliminated by domestic theater chains and open more theaters.

After that, it bought out a few more Bati movies every year and sent in a few Chinese movies and TV series.

All of these can slowly drive up the Pakistani film industry.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. Pakistan Railway’s media industry has begun to be privatized. This is a very important opportunity!

Nowadays, the media industry in many Asian countries has begun to try to privatize in search of a glimmer of hope.

What a wonderful time these are!

Every time Chen Shiping thinks about this, he feels like the blood in his body is trembling!
The future of Asia's cultural industry will definitely be in our own hands!
At this time, Guan Zhilin was teasing Xiao Xiulin in the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing.

Tao Huimin looked at her with her chin propped up and asked, "Why did you come here this time? Do you miss a man?"

Guan Zhilin blocked Chen Xiulin's ears with his little hands and turned around and cursed: "Why are you a mother! I didn't know that children already have memories at this time?!"

Tao Huimin feels that Guan Zhilin is more like Xiao Xiulin's mother than herself.

Guan Zhilin really likes Xiao Xiulin, look at how well chosen this name is.

Xiulin also has the word "林"!

Guan Zhilin didn't know if this was deliberately arranged by Chen Shiping and Tao Huimin.

One named Xiulin, and the other held the child and asked herself to be the godmother.

But she likes Chen Xiulin!
Tao Huimin frowned and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something serious?"

Guan Zhilin glanced at her, but he didn't expect that Chen Shiping didn't tell her.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was normal. Tao Huimin never asked about the affairs of Xiangjiang Company.

Chen Shiping probably forgot to tell her.

So he raised his head and said deliberately: "I can't tell you, Shi Ping said it, and no one can say it until it's done!"

"I'll go home and ask myself!"

Tao Huimin was a little angry that Chen Shiping wanted to hide it from him!

Guan Zhilin happily teased Xiao Xiulin, your mother will be furious.
