Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 73 I want a Lunar New Year stall!

"Foshan Shadowless Feet!"

On the set, Li Lianjie, who was hanging on wires, flew up and kicked out beautiful shadowless kicks.

When he landed, the director shouted "Ka", and the audience burst into warm applause. This was the first time for many people to see Huang Feihong's martial arts moves.

At this moment, everyone was shocked by this beautiful kick. It turns out that kung fu movies can be made like this.

Everyone on the crew knew that these actions were designed by Chen Shiping, and they admired him more and more.

Chen Shiping was also very satisfied with Li Lianjie's fighting scenes, his movements were clean and beautiful, it was perfect!

The only bad thing is that his writing and acting are a bit weak. Chen Shiping doesn't like him very much. He feels that his writing and acting are not even as good as the current Guan Zhilin.

Guan Zhilin's current temperament is more and more in line with the image of the Thirteenth Aunt. When she is not filming, she usually just reads books, and what she reads is history.

Who the hell could have thought of this! Chen Shiping himself never expected that Guan Zhilin would change so much.

He never expected that it was because of his unintentional words and the novel he wrote that Guan Zhilin decided to change himself.

So, a miserable childhood can be cured, you just need help.

When Chen Shiping was in a daze, the factory director Song Zhu called someone over and called him to a meeting.

In the conference room, Song Zhen had a sad face. When he saw Chen Shiping coming over, he couldn't help but ask: "Shi Ping, when will the filming of Once Upon a Time be completed? Can it be released this year?"

Chen Shiping frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with his retention. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be so soon.

"The filming should be completed next month. If the post-production editing and soundtrack are faster, it will be released this year."

After hearing this, Song Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Then speed up! Give me a specific time."

His current situation is really not good. Although Chen Shiping has won awards in the studio in the past few years, overall awards have been shunned by Xi Film Studio, and his performance at the box office is not good either.

This year's "Beauty in a Haunted House" produced by West Film Studio has a high box office. The most important thing is that it is a cult film.

Since 1987, Xi Film Studio has expanded the categories of mainland films with several consecutive genre films, and each film has a high box office.

It vigorously supports newcomers, recruits people from various film studios, and secondes directors, and has produced many excellent films for several consecutive years.

The most important thing is that the reform of Xiying Film Studio is also the most successful. This is also the reason why the directors of Beiying Film Studio have been replaced one after another.

If you can't do it, I'll replace you! If it doesn’t work, change it again! I don’t believe that no one can run the Beijing Film Studio well!

Seeing that Song Zhen was so anxious, Chen Shiping directly presented his problem.

Chen Shiping said directly: "The filming of the movie went very smoothly, but the soundtrack has not been resolved yet. The orchestra in the factory has been busy with other movies recently."

"Don't worry about this, I'll let the orchestra take care of you first!" Song Tao said immediately.

"Then you are helping me find someone to sing the theme song."

"Who do you want?"

"Tu Honggang from the Broadcasting Art Troupe!"

"no problem!"

Song Zhu agreed to all Chen Shiping's requests in one go. He urgently needed a success to prove himself!

There are many young people in the West Film Studio, and there are a number of very capable directors for both genre films and literary films, but the Beijing Film Studio is currently a little short of talent.

Tian Bang Bang is good, but the Horse Thief filmed before was seconded by the West Film Studio and had nothing to do with Beijing Film Studio.

Li Shaohong's Silver Snake Murder last year was also good, and Song Tao also strongly supported it after taking over Beijing Film Studio. However, Li Shaohong has no works this year, which does not help his current predicament at all.

Now Song Zhu could only count on Chen Shiping. He had discovered that the directors in the factory were either too old or too inefficient.

Only Chen Shiping received his assignment and established a project in less than two months.

Seeing Song Zhen in such a hurry, Chen Shiping also began to worry.

If Song Zhu is transferred, his investment will be in vain. Whether the next factory director will accept it or not is another matter.

"Director, I have one more request. I want it to be released around New Year's Day!"

Chen Shiping decided to come up with the concept of Lunar New Year stalls in advance and explained in detail to Song Zhu what the Lunar New Year stalls were.

After hearing what Chen Shiping said, Song Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted the table and said, "Great Lunar New Year stall! This is a great concept! Shi Ping, you can do it with confidence. If you have any difficulties, I will help you solve it!"

Song Zhen's anxiety was gone, and he felt like he had hope again!

Chen Shiping is really timely, what a good comrade!

Thinking of this, Song Zhu smiled and said to Chen Shiping: "Shi Ping, last year the factory allocated housing to you because you didn't have enough service experience. This year I will make the decision to allocate housing to you!"

"Really?" Chen Shiping's eyes lit up. Is he now getting the house?

He had been at Beijing Film Studio for less than three years, and he couldn't get his turn in terms of seniority.

Song Tao said proudly: "Really, you are not young anymore and you have a girlfriend. It is outrageous to still be crowded in the dormitory."

Song Zhen wasn't worried at all that the room allocation would cause any criticism. He didn't even know if he could continue to be the director of the factory and take care of so many things.

If he remains in office, those people will naturally not say anything. If he resigns, everyone will have opinions about finding a new factory director and what does it have to do with him, the former director.

Chen Shiping received Song Zhu's full support, and subsequent progress was much faster.

Chen Shiping found several old masters of the orchestra, changed Jiangjun Ling into a modern piece, wrote the lyrics himself, and recruited Tu Honggang to sing.

After solving the soundtrack, Chen Shiping took care of several factors that determined the success of Once Upon a Time.

In the end, it depends on whether director Li Wenhua, a tool man, can make the movie on time.

Chen Shiping has great trust in the basic skills of mainland directors. As long as they don't mess around, the film will not be worse than Xu Ke's version.

Under the high pressure of Chen Shiping and Song Tao, the entire crew progressed very quickly. The people from Xiangjiang didn't think it was a big deal, but the people in the factory were exhausted.

In the past, it was common to shoot a scene dozens of times when making a movie, but now a scene can be shot seven or eight times, and you have to work overtime every night to shoot night scenes.

If there weren't many scenes in Once Upon a Time and didn't have to move around, these people in the factory might not be able to withstand such high-pressure work intensity.

When Chen Shiping implemented high-pressure policies, he did not forget to provide subsidies.

The salary is fixed, which Chen Shiping cannot afford, but the daily food supplement is very high, which also reduces a lot of complaints.

All the money was saved from film, and Chen Shiping didn't feel bad about spending it.

He could have put the money into his own pocket, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it. How much money could he have gained through blackmail, which was not shameful enough.

At night, Chen Shiping leaned outside the door of the photography studio, smoking silently. Everyone on the crew complained that they were tired, but no one was as tired as him.

The pressure on him is no less than that of Song Zhu. While keeping up with the schedule, he also has to ensure that there are no problems with the quality of the film. You can imagine the pressure on him.

Chen Shiping threw away the cigarette mid-smoking, turned around and walked into the photography workshop. In the interior of the big ship set up in the workshop, the climax of the duel scene in the movie was being filmed.

If everything goes well, it will be finished tonight!

Chen Shiping walked toward the interior, and before he reached it, he heard cheers coming from inside!

"It's finished! Once Upon a Time is officially finished!"

"Where's Producer Chen?! Tell Producer Chen the good news!"

After hearing this, Chen Shiping quickened his pace and walked into the studio. Looking at the exhaustion and excitement on everyone's faces, he laughed and said:

"Congratulations on finishing! Congratulations to everyone for joining me in creating a new era of martial arts!"

"Long live martial arts!!!"
