Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 49 Recorded in film history! (Please read~)

Before nightfall, the quiet Bund lights up, and the old Western-style buildings along the Huangpu River light up beautifully.

Slender and straight street lights are also lined up along the winding streets, and they suddenly light up as if opening a passage to the future.

The dim lights were not bright under the setting sun, but seemed to embellish the setting sun with little fluorescent lights.

The weak river breeze carries the faint smell of water from the Huangpu River, and mixes with the evening breeze to give it a hint of coolness.

Chen Shiping and Chen Hong walked past the light spots cast by street lamps on the concrete slabs one after another. The shadows of the two people sometimes overlapped and sometimes separated, just like their relationship at this time.

On the riverside viewing platform, a tricycle filled with newspapers stopped in front of a newsstand. The newspaper deliveryman took out two bundles of newspapers and placed them on the shelf of the newsstand.

The boss who was listening to the radio in the newsstand quickly came out to collect the newspapers and chatted with the newspaper deliveryman with a smile.

"What's the news in today's evening paper?"

The newspaper delivery boy grabbed the towel on his shoulder and wiped his sweat and said: "It's the same news about the movie, which one won the Palme d'Or. It's been reported for two days, but today I added a photo of the winners, it's Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen!"

When the boss heard this, he immediately picked up the newspaper and took a look. On the front page of the newspaper was a photo of Xu Sanguan's crew holding the trophy on the beach in Cannes.

"This little girl Xiaoqing is so beautiful." The boss looked up after seeing the photo and boasted to the newspaper delivery boy: "When Liu Xiaoqing came to Shanghai Film Studio to shoot Furong Town, he even talked to me when he came here to play."

"Just blow it!" the newspaper delivery boy said, got on the tricycle and left.

The newsstand owner snorted. He was not bragging. It was the black boy in the photo who came to the Bund with Liu Xiaoqing the year before last!

"Boss, here's an evening paper." Chen Hong suddenly appeared in front of the newsstand and said crisply.

The boss quickly took out a newspaper from the bundle and handed it to Chen Hong. Chen Shiping reached out from behind Chen Hong and handed over a dime.

The boss glanced at Chen Shiping and felt that he looked familiar. When he lowered his head and looked at the newspaper, he realized that this was not the man standing next to Liu Xiaoqing in the newspaper!

Looking at the name introduction in the newspaper, the boss was surprised to find that the man in front of him was actually the award-winning director.

In the boss's surprised eyes, Chen Shiping and Chen Hong turned around and left.

“I haven’t changed the money yet”

Chen Hong looked at the photos in the newspaper under the street lamp and said a little lonely: "It's such a pity that I couldn't see you win the award with my own eyes."

"Let's go together next time." Chen Shiping said seriously.

Chen Hong's eyes lit up slightly, she pursed her lips to hold back her smile, raised her head and looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Okay, hook up!"

Looking at Chen Hong's slender fingers, Chen Shiping smiled and raised his hand to hook it and said: "Pull the hook."

After hooking their fingers together, Chen Shiping grabbed Chen Hong's hand with his backhand and refused to let go. Chen Hong didn't struggle and lightly scratched Chen Shiping's hand.

Chen Shiping's palms were itchy, and so was his heart. The scent of Chen Hong's body in the evening breeze always made his brain highly excited.

The two were locked up on the Bund for a long time. When the ships on the Huangpu River stopped honking their horns, Chen Hong turned to look at Chen Shiping and said, "Send me back to school. I won't be able to come back if it's too late."

Chen Shiping's face collapsed, he looked at Chen Hong and asked, "Are you serious?"

Chen Hong suppressed a smile and said, "Seriously, the school is very strict about checking, and they only relax a little more on weekends."

Chen Shiping felt that life was extremely boring.

At the door of the theater, Chen Shiping took Chen Hong's hand and asked, "I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. Are you sure you're going back to the dormitory tonight?"

"I also want to accompany you, but the instructor will check your bed every day. Because of the previous dance case, the school is very strict now."

Seeing Chen Shiping's disappointed eyes, Chen Hong stood up on tiptoes and pecked him gently on the cheek.

Just a kiss on the face?

Chen Shiping grabbed Chen Hong and performed the French wet kiss he learned in France under a street lamp.

You must collect some interest tonight, otherwise your investment will not be in vain, and your investment will be rewarded!

Under the dim street lights, the two separated for a long time. There seemed to be a thin thread connecting the shadows of the two who had just separated on the ground.

Chen Shiping wiped the corners of his mouth. He was so engrossed just now that he had diarrhea.

Chen Hong was breathing heavily and almost couldn't breathe just now, but the suffocating and sweet feeling made her so obsessed that she didn't even want to go back to school. Chen Shiping saw that Chen Hong had this idea and was about to speak when a flashlight light shone from the school gate.

"You are Chen Hong from the acting class! Go back to the dormitory quickly and don't get involved with people outside the school!"

Chen Shiping suddenly became discouraged and was caught by the school teacher. Chen Hong was a school beauty who was in a drama. She was so famous that she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

"Wait for me here tomorrow and I will take you to eat wontons." Chen Hong smiled and turned around and ran away, looking like an elf at night under the street lamp.

Chen Shiping looked at Chen Hong's leaving figure, a little disappointed, and the passionate kiss just now was a bit overwhelming.

It's just that it's too high up, which makes the pants a little tight, which is really uncomfortable.

After leaving Shanghai Theater, Chen Shiping found a guest house at Shanghai Film Studio and moved in. After revealing his identity, he moved in without spending a penny.

The Palme d'Or is really valuable. It's an alternative manifestation of status. Chen Shiping only belatedly experienced it at this time.

Early the next morning, Chen Shiping went to have breakfast with Chen Hong at the entrance of the theater. After eating, he went to the Commercial Printing Studio.

The excuses given by Chen Shiping and Liu Xiaoqing were not entirely false. They really wanted to talk to the Commercial Press about overseas publishing this time.

There was nothing to discuss about publishing. The translation version was ready. Chen Shiping mainly came to get royalties.

The remuneration is not bad, just over 20,000 yuan after tax. After the film is released overseas, the remuneration should increase again.

When he came out of the Commercial Printing Hall, it was already past one in the afternoon. Chen Shiping originally wanted to see Chen Hong again, but she also had classes in the afternoon.

Tao Huimin was still waiting for him in the capital. Chen Shiping couldn't stay in Shanghai for too long, so he might as well return to the capital as soon as possible.

It just made Chen Hong nervous. He took the initiative once but could not take the initiative again and again, otherwise the award would not be in vain.

The train back to the capital bought a hard seat. Chen Shiping got on the train and asked the conductor to change it to a sleeper car. After checking Chen Shiping's work ID, the conductor enthusiastically took him to the sleeper car.

"I saw the news that your movie won an award abroad and brought glory to the country!" The conductor said enthusiastically: "I also read the novel. It's so well written!"

Chen Shiping didn't expect that he would become a household name now. The conductor arranged a hard sleeper for him and chatted with him for a few words before leaving.

Chen Shiping had just put away his luggage and was getting ready to rest when the conductor who had just left came back, taking the conductor with him.

The conductor was more enthusiastic than the conductor. He was a fan of Chen Shiping's books, so he dragged Chen Shiping to the soft sleeper compartment. .

According to his class, Chen Shiping could not reimburse for the sleeper berth. He was ready to pay for the fare himself, but no one came to collect the sleeper berth ticket until he got off the train.

Chen Shiping spent the price of a hard seat and took a soft sleeper.

Chen Shiping was in an unreal feeling when he got off the bus. He did not expect that writers and great directors would be so popular in this era.

No wonder everyone wanted to write novels in the 1980s and 1990s. Writers were really popular.

After Chen Shiping finally accepted his current social status, he was shocked again when he returned to Beijing Film Studio.

There is a big red banner hanging on the gate of Beijing Film Studio with big white characters written on it.

Congratulations to Comrades Chen Shiping and Tian Chongchang of our company for their film "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival!

Chen Shiping was completely in a daze. He felt like he had become a fighting hero. It was so unreal!

When Chen Shiping walked into the factory carrying the box, the man in the communication room dialed the internal line to report to the leader.

The huge Beijing Film Studio was full of congratulatory slogans, and even Chen Shiping's name was added to the famous master column on the bulletin board.

I wrote down Chen Shiping’s resume and ranked it with several big directors in the factory.

Chen Shiping looked at his photo on the bulletin board, took a deep breath, and suddenly understood why Cheng Kaige was so awesome with Farewell My Concubine.

Before Chen Shiping reached the main building, factory director Song Zhu took the initiative to come out with a group of people to greet him.

Song Zhen took the initiative to come up to Chen Shiping, held Chen Shiping's hand and said, "Shi Ping! Welcome home! Congratulations on winning the award!"

The reporter holding the camera quickly pressed the shutter to record this scene. This photo will be published in the factory newspaper and also in the magazine "Film Creation" sponsored by the factory.

This is an honorary moment for the factory, enough to be recorded in the history of Chinese film!
