Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 35 It’s all Chen Shiping’s imprint! (Please read~)

The cafeteria of Beijing Normal University is indeed disappointing. A portion of shredded potatoes, a steamed bun and a soup that is almost water is enough for lunch.

Chen Shiping ate tastelessly and looked at Yu Hua and said, "Why do you have to come to the cafeteria?"

Yu Hua chewed the steamed bun and said, "I'll take you to experience the humanities and customs of Beijing Normal University."

"Thank you." Chen Shiping rolled his eyes angrily.

Chen Shiping didn't dislike the fact that there was only one shredded potato, but that the shredded potatoes were too unpalatable.

It’s hard to imagine that someone could make potatoes so bland and tasteless. The chef in the cafeteria of Beijing Normal University is quite good at it.

"What are you going to share in the afternoon free seminar?" Yu Hua asked curiously.

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "I'm not going to share. I'm here to learn from literary seniors like you."

Yu Hua said speechlessly: "Do you want to learn how to write short stories?"

Although Yu Hua said this, she was still more excited in her heart. It was just a novel, so she would think about it carefully when she came back. She must write one before graduation!

After dinner, Chen Shiping went to the classroom with Yu Hua and the others. They chatted in the morning to get to know each other, and then discussed and studied in the afternoon.

When Chen Shiping was studying, in the editing room of Beijing Film Studio, Tian Cangchang was tired and excited, instructing the editor, and couldn't help rubbing his fingers back and forth on his knees.

The movie is finally being cut. Although it is only the first fine cut and no dubbing and music have been added, it can already be seen that it is a very good movie.

The editor will lie down on the editing table to attach the last piece of film, and then let out a long sigh of relief, it's done!

"Finished cutting?"

"It's over."

"Let's go out and smoke a cigarette, it's killing me!"

Outside the editing room, the editor smoked a cigarette and said, "I haven't seen such a good film in a long time. Director Tian, ​​you are the one!"

Tian Chongbang looked at the editor's thumb, took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I don't have much effect."

The editor said with disapproval: "Why not? Everyone knows that although Producer Chen has the name of co-director, it was all shot by you."

Tian Chuangchuang suddenly felt a little melancholy, remembering how frustrated he felt during the filming. Most of the movies were shot according to storyboards, and there was actually very little room for him to express himself. He only made some adjustments to the lens language according to different scenes.

If we really talk about it, the storyboards created by Chen Shiping and Director Xie are the key to success.

Tian Chongbang's initial excitement had almost disappeared by now. Almost everyone in the crew was making wedding dresses for Chen Shiping, and they were all tool men.

Even the investor Liu Xiaoqing is a tool. She didn't even get paid for playing the heroine. She was the worst off.

The editor didn't know what Tian Chongcang was thinking, and was still flattering him.

Tian Chuangchuang suddenly threw the cigarette butt on the ground with some irritation, stamped it out hard and said, "Okay, let's go back and read it again and continue cutting."

After saying that, Tian Cangbang went back. The editor quickly took a few more puffs and couldn't figure out what he said wrong.

Could it be that Chen Shiping took the lead and Tian Chongchang assisted? This is not very realistic!

However, if you think back carefully, the style of Tian Chongchang's previous films is indeed very different from that of Xu Sanguan.

"Good boy, you have to be happy." The editor muttered, then put out his cigarette butt and went in.

It seems that I have to be more polite to Chen Shiping in the future, which will be very serious in the future.

Towards the evening, the seminar of the literature research class ended, and the teacher also assigned homework.

Chen Shiping was very melancholy and would read and write his thoughts when he went home at night.

After school, Chen Shiping invited Yu Hua and Mo Yan to have dinner together, but Yu Hua had no choice but to make an appointment in the evening.

Looking at Yu Hua running under the sunset, Chen Shiping turned to Mo Yan and said, "Do you think he is a bit dangerous like this?"

Mo Yan looked at Yu Hua, who was catching up with his female classmate, and couldn't help but defend him: "He and his wife have relationship problems. One wants to come to the capital, and the other doesn't want to."

Chen Shiping glanced at Mo Yan in surprise, but he didn't expect that he understood it quite clearly.

However, it is normal to have emotional disagreements. After all, they are in different places. One has seen the world and does not want to go back to a small town to live a normal life, while the other just wants to live a normal life. It would be strange if there are no relationship problems.

So it would be better if you don't get married, then you won't have this kind of trouble. Chen Shiping and Tao Huimin are now in a different place, but he doesn't miss her at all. He just doesn't know if Tao Huimin misses her.

Tao Huimin, who is far away in Zhejiang, often misses Chen Shiping and goes to see if there is any letter from him almost every day.

Whether it was the film studio's transfer order or Chen Shiping's private message, she was particularly looking forward to it.

If the troupe was not busy, she would have wanted to take leave and go to the capital.

Tao Huimin has been feeling a little panicked lately, feeling uneasy at home.

After returning from the theater in the evening, Tao Huimin couldn't help but call Chen Shiping from a public phone.

The call was quickly connected, and Tao Huimin immediately said: "Please call me Chen Shiping."

"Then wait a minute." The neighbor who answered the phone stood in the corridor and shouted: "Producer Chen! Your phone!"

Tao Huimin felt a little strange when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

Why is he called Producer Chen in the factory? Isn’t the movie finished?

Could it be that Chen Shiping was promoted?

Tao Huimin reacted instantly in his mind. He felt happy for Chen Shiping and for himself. His vision was indeed right!

Chen Shiping, who ran down from upstairs to answer the phone, heard that Tao Huimin was on the other end of the phone and was very happy to chat with her for a long time.

"Well, I got a promotion after filming the movie. When you come to the factory, you will have to call me Producer Chen."

"Don't worry, I've urged the factory to transfer you here as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I'm busy with school and I'm not messing around. You have to trust me!"

There were several people waiting in line behind Chen Shiping to make a call. Seeing him getting more and more chatty, they couldn't help but want to rush him.

But when Chen Shiping said that he had been promoted, he held back his words.

Chen Shiping and Tao Huimin chatted for nearly half an hour before hanging up the phone, mainly because they were worried about the phone bill, otherwise they could continue chatting.

This is the disadvantage of being in a different place, but we can only wait slowly.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Huimin prayed silently in his heart to speed up the slow time. I want to go to him immediately.

God heard Tao Huimin's prayer, but only fulfilled her previous wish.

Time flies by very quickly, and it’s almost November in the blink of an eye. Xu Sanguan has completed all the post-production stages of Selling Blood.

It took more than a week to edit, and another month to develop the soundtrack and subtitles, but now it’s finally done.

The factory's auditorium will screen Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller tonight, and almost everyone who is free will come to the auditorium to watch the movie.

Now almost everyone in the factory knows that the leaders have great expectations for this movie, and they are going to attend Cannes next year, so they are very curious.

Xiying Film Studio produced Zhang Yimo and Cheng Kaige. Although the factory brought Cheng Kaige back, they turned around and went to study abroad.

Are you angry or not?

The films produced by the studio in recent years are indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, and there really is no one among the younger generation who can compare with Zhang Yimo.

Fortunately, Chen Shiping has appeared again. I hope he can steal the limelight of Xiying Studio this time!

Soon the screening started in the auditorium, and Chen Shiping's name appeared five times in total on the opening subtitles.

The original novel was written by Chen Shiping, screenwriter Chen Shiping, producer Chen Shiping, co-director Chen Shiping, and a special line was added at the end.

Works by Chen Shiping!

This movie has been branded by Chen Shiping, and even the director Tian Chongchang has been ignored.

No one cares about who shot the movie anymore, all they think about is Chen Shiping’s work.

If this film is sent to Cannes, even if it doesn't win an award, Chen Shiping's name will be completely famous!

The editors of the film review magazines in the factory are now thinking about interviewing Chen Shiping. He is the number one independent producer, and the factory is so optimistic about it.

It’s time for the film industry to get to know this newcomer!
