Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 65 I’ll let Guan Zhilin find you! (Please order first~)

"One million is too little! We need more money!"

In Yindu's office, Chen Shiping and Liu Xiaoqing looked at each other, neither of them expected to get the investment so easily.

It seems that Yindu has been holding back a bit hard in recent years. They started the Shaolin series, but in the past few years, none of the kung fu movies produced by Xiangjiang Film Company in mainland China have the layout of Shaolin Temple.

Suspense, curiosity, gore, and even pornography, these commercial elements and gimmicks all highlight the color of capitalism.

There is no structure at all, and last year's Heroes of the Yellow River was just passable.

Yindu is now being suppressed by several companies such as Golden Harvest and can't hold its head high. If it weren't for the fact that it still holds several theater chains in its hands, life would be really difficult.

Faced with Director Liao's request for more money, Chen Shiping was very happy, but he could only decline.

First of all, he is a member of the Beijing Film Studio, and he must ensure the interests of the factory as well as his own and Liu Xiaoqing's.

After Chen Shiping and Director Liao explained the current investment situation in detail, he also understood and stopped forcing it.

Everyone is within the same system, so there is no need to explain many things clearly.

Moreover, as long as it is a co-production, the distribution in Xiangjiang will definitely be done by Yindu, and Yindu will not lose money no matter what.

Chen Shiping wanted to discuss not only investment issues with Yindu, but also cooperation with them on overseas issuance. The issuance in Southeast Asia must rely on Yindu.

As for other overseas regions, Chen Shiping is not considering it yet. He will wait until the film is released in China and Hong Kong before looking for French film producers with whom he has collaborated before.

After talking about investment issues, Chen Shiping also told Mr. Liao that he wanted to invite Jet Li and Guan Zhilin.

Speaking of Li Lianjie, Mr. Liao couldn't help but frown, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let me ask you. He has been very close to Luo Wei's son recently."

"Already joined Jiahe?" Chen Shiping asked curiously.

Liao Wenjie said with some regret: "Even you know that Luo Wei's son belongs to Jiahe, yet he foolishly joined. I heard he signed a two-year contract."

Chen Shiping: "." This may be the decision Li Lianjie regrets most in his life.

"What about Guan Zhilin? She should be easier to hire." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Mr. Liao, you are also the president of the South China Film Union. You should have a good relationship with senior Guan Shan. Can you ask him for help?"

Guan Shan is the actor who played the True Story of Ah Q, and is also Guan Zhilin's father. He was the most popular niche actor in the 1950s and 1960s, and was also an actor who graduated from the Great Wall Actors Class.

Speaking of which, most of the actors and directors in Hong Kong have inextricable ties with Z Film Company.

Mr. Liao nodded and said: "Guan Shan and I are indeed very familiar. He is rarely absent from the trade union's tea parties. It's just that his relationship with Guan Zhilin is very tense. The conflict between father and daughter is well known in Hong Kong."

After hearing what Mr. Liao said, Chen Shiping felt deeply that his intelligence was too outdated, and the relationship between father and daughter, Guan Shan and Guan Zhilin, was so bad.

But it's not surprising when you think about it. Guan Shan grew up in the Mainland and loved literary and artistic movies. It's normal for him to be disdainful of Guan Zhilin's style in male-female relationships.

"Can you please help Mr. Liao contact Guan Zhilin? I will talk to her personally."

"Are you sure you want Guan Zhilin to play the role of Thirteenth Aunt? Her reputation is very bad, so you should pay attention to the impact."

"Mainland audiences don't know, so it's okay."

"Since you've thought about it, that's fine. I'll ask her to see you later."

Chen Shiping: "???" Come to my hotel? Isn't it bad? What should I do if the paparazzi scribbles on it?

After leaving Yindu, Chen Shiping felt that the trip was a bit too smooth. It seemed that the Palme d'Or was still useful.

But the most important thing is the relationship in the factory, otherwise Yindu would not be so polite to him.

There is someone behind the scenes who can do things easily!

Speaking of which, Chen Shiping was promoted very quickly. He was promoted from the editorial office of the Literature Department to the producer of the Art Creation Center in just a few months.

After filming Once Upon a Time is completed, I should be promoted from producer to deputy director of the director and production department. I will try to remove the subtitle next year, and become the deputy director of the Art Creation Center the year after that. Then I will remove the subtitle again, and then I can wait for Song Tao to retire.

In fact, Chen Shiping had a better plan in mind, but he had to wait until Once Upon a Time was finished before he could try it out.

Downstairs of Yindu Institution, Liu Xiaoqing looked at Chen Shiping and said with a smile: "Shiping, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, you can go shopping with me."

"No problem, I just want to buy something."

Chen Shiping still had a shopping list given to him by Tao Huimin in his pocket. He was going to move to a new home soon, and he had to buy all the furniture, electrical appliances and so on.

The weather in Hong Kong is very hot, much hotter than in Beijing. Chen Shiping and Liu Xiaoqing were sweating after walking on the street for a while.

It’s okay not to go shopping in this shabby street! Let the rich lady play by herself!

Chen Shiping put his shopping list into Liu Xiaoqing's hand and said, "Sister, you can go shopping by yourself. I remembered that I have to ask for a martial arts instructor and I need to go back and prepare some materials."

Liu Xiaoqing grabbed Chen Shiping and complained: "You have so many things on your list, you don't expect me to carry it back for you as a woman. Look at the things you want to buy, a video recorder and a rice cooker."

Chen Shiping: "Sister, it's only two weeks. You buy the same thing every day."

Liu Xiaoqing: "." Don't even think about running away today!

When Chen Shiping was taken shopping by Liu Xiaoqing, Director Liao had already dialed Li Lianjie's phone to ask about his recent situation.

The call was quickly answered by Li Lianjie.

"Lian Jie, are you still having trouble with Jiahe recently? Do you have time to take on a movie?" Director Liao asked directly.

Li Lianjie has also been very anxious recently. He originally wanted to find an agent, the son of director Luo Wei who invited him back for filming, but who would have thought that this boy is from Jiahe!

"Director Liao, I don't want to take on the role at the moment. I want to deal with Jiahe's matter first."

Director Liao took the phone and said, "Please read the script first. This is a good opportunity. Do you know who is looking for you?"

"Who?" Li Lianjie asked curiously. There were only a few big directors who made martial arts movies in Hong Kong, and he had basically worked with them all.

"This year's Cannes Grand Prix winner is Chen Shiping, the most famous producer in the Mainland!"

Li Lianjie on the other end of the phone was stunned and a little confused. He knew Chen Shiping, but was such a person asking him to act?

His drama is a mess. Did he find the wrong person?

Li Lianjie asked with some disbelief: "Dr. Liao, what kind of movie is this? There is no mistake."

Director Liao smiled and said: "Of course it's true. It's a martial arts movie. It has a very good script. It was written by Chen Shiping himself."

"Is Chen Shiping still in Yindu? I'll go there now!" Li Lianjie couldn't help but feel excited, vaguely feeling that his opportunity had come.

After Director Liao finished calling Li Lianjie, he called Guan Zhilin. After briefly explaining the whole story, Guan Zhilin went to the Regent Hotel to find Chen Shiping.

As the chairman of Yindu, even if Guan Zhilin is not from his own company, he can still shout.

In other words, no celebrity in Hong Kong dares to deny him face.

Do you really think Yindu is just a simple film company? ! Any filmmaker in Xiangjiang who dares to think so would be too naive!

Guan Zhilin was a little confused at this time and didn't understand why a mainland producer would ask him to make a movie.

Are your acting skills so good? Or has his fame spread to the mainland?

Shouldn't we look for Brigitte Lin and the others? It's really strange.

Guan Zhilin had never heard of Chen Shiping's name, so he immediately ran to find out what was going on with this guy.

You can't just go there so rashly. If you can make Liao Dong from Yindu make a phone call in person, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

What if this guy is a rich man from the mainland?

　I'm sorry to everyone, I had a little accident and my time was wasted. I'm sorry to all the adoptive fathers.
