Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 74 Chen Shiping’s era has arrived!

In the noisy filming studio, everyone was cheering.

Chen Shiping was surrounded by everyone. It was unknown who made the first move. Before Chen Shiping could react, he was thrown into the air.

"Haha, let Producer Chen experience what it's like to be a hero."

Chen Shiping, who was screaming in the air, recognized Li Lianjie's voice.

"Xiao Lizi, you're dead! Wait until I get off. Oh, fuck, you're still here!"

Outside the crowd, Guan Zhilin, who had messy hair and was wrapped in a blanket, looked at Chen Shiping who was being thrown up repeatedly, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

This atmosphere is really good. Although it is tiring, everyone is working hard in the same direction.

After ten minutes, the bustling filming studio became quiet and all the lights were turned off.

Chen Shiping was the last one to come out of the workshop, stretched out while looking at the bright moon in the night sky, and said relaxedly: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

"Yes, the moonlight is so beautiful." Guan Zhilin's voice suddenly appeared in Chen Shiping's ears.

Guan Zhilin still has makeup on his face and his hair is messy, giving him a sad and beautiful feeling, which makes people very protective.

The cold white moonlight added a layer of melancholy and melancholy to her, and Chen Shiping felt astonished for a moment.

His eyes stayed on her face for a second before looking away and saying, "Why haven't you left yet? You've had a hard night tonight. Go back to the hotel and rest early."

Guan Zhilin, wrapped in a blanket, pulled up his hair and said with a smile, "Waiting for the driver to drive over."

Chen Shiping nodded, not wanting to leave her alone here, so he simply waited with her.

Neither of them spoke. Chen Shiping didn't know what to say.

Being alone in the middle of the night, especially when Guan Zhilin has just finished filming a scene where he was almost bullied, always makes people imagine.

Guan Zhilin didn't know what to say. She was very stressed when she was with Chen Shiping. She bit her lip to prevent herself from speaking, for fear that she would say something she shouldn't have said when she opened her mouth.

The silence only made the atmosphere more awkward. Chen Shiping found a topic and asked: "Now that the deal has been finalized, when will Miss Guan return to Xiangjiang? I'll treat you to a meal before leaving to express my gratitude."

Guan Zhilin turned to look at Chen Shiping, feeling a little unhappy.

Less than an hour after finishing filming, he asked her when she was leaving. It felt like Chen Shiping was driving him away.

Obviously we still need to promote it! Don’t you care about the itinerary at all?

Seeing that Guan Zhilin didn't reply, Chen Shiping felt that the atmosphere became even more awkward. He still had no money and people were not enthusiastic.

Fortunately, the car arrived at this time. Chen Shiping immediately walked over and asked, "Didn't I ask you to park the car at the door of the workshop? Are you taking some private work?"

The driver immediately explained: "Producer Chen, it's really not true. There is something wrong with the car. I will send it to be repaired this afternoon. I am borrowing the car temporarily."

"Okay, let's go and get Miss Guan to safety!"

Chen Shiping had nothing to say and didn't care what the facts were.

Guan Zhilin nodded lightly to Chen Shiping, said goodbye, got in the car and left. After the car started, she couldn't help but look back at Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping didn't notice Guan Zhilin's glance back and was rushing home.

They are preparing to move these days. Tao Huimin is busy packing her things at home. He will go back early tonight to help her.

In the next few days, the crew disbanded and everyone went back to their respective workshops. Yuan Heping also took Longhu Martial Arts Master back to Xiangjiang.

The crew was finishing filming, but Chen Shiping did not provide accommodation. Yuan Heping did not want to waste money.

Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin also began to promote the film under the arrangement of the publicity department of the factory. They were promoted in all the mainland film magazines and newspapers. The most important thing is to create momentum for the concept of Lunar New Year stalls!

The rough cut of Once Upon a Time has been submitted for review and approval, and the distribution issue has been negotiated with China Film.

China Film Group also strongly supports Chen Shiping's Lunar New Year schedule concept and suppresses other movies in the schedule.

The plot of Once Upon a Time is good, and the actors are Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin. This kind of movie may really create another Shaolin Temple myth.

At this time, Chen Shiping was not idle either. He and director Li Wenhua kept watching the post-production and editing.

Chen Shiping attaches great importance to the final refined version, because it is related to how much money he can earn.

The price negotiated with China Film Group was 11,000 yuan per copy, but the exact number of copies required can only be determined after looking at the refined version.

The price is already very high, and the final decision on how much Chen Shiping gets depends on the number of copies.

However, Chen Shiping is very confident. The Yellow River Hero has obtained more than 420 copies, and Huang Feihong can obtain at least 500 copies!

The copies in the Mainland are enough to recoup the cost and maybe make a small profit, while the box office in Hong Kong and East Asia is a pure profit.

After a few busy days, Chen Shiping got the finely cut copy from the printing plant and went to China Film Studio to discuss the copying issue. Song Tao came with him.

This time, Song Tao was very aggressive and looked like he was going to fight with China Film. With less than 500 copies, he would definitely fight with China Film!

Almost all directors of mainland film studios have done business with China Film Studio. He, the director of Beijing Film Studio, who has been in office for one year, has never done any business with him.

China Film Group has to give face even if it doesn’t give it!

In China Film's viewing room, the lights had just turned on when Song Tao shouted angrily: "Seven hundred copies! No more!"

Director of China Film Distribution Department: "." Is Lao Song taking some medicine?

However, Huang Feihong can indeed get more copies. Just for the concept of Lunar New Year, it is worthy of China Film's support!

Chen Shiping also smiled and said at this time: "The more copies, the better. Now newspapers are discussing Huang Feihong's New Year congratulations. The New Year's Eve is likely to be a big hit."

"Yes, it may create a new box office myth!" Song Zhu also said confidently.

Someone from China Film Group glanced at Chen Shiping and touched his chin and said, "Seven hundred copies are too many, let's say six hundred. None this year have exceeded six hundred."

"Can it be the same?" Song Tao pointed to Chen Shiping's name that appeared at the end of the film and said: "The name Shiping is worth 500 copies, and Jet Li and Guan Zhilin, even if each of them is 100 yuan, they are still worth 700 yuan. Got it!"

The people from China Film Group gave a wry smile, "How can this be calculated? The more copies there are, the more money they will have to pay. It is not clear how much the theater chain will get."

If I had known better, I should have organized a movie viewing party for theater managers.

After several leaders from China Film Distribution Department gathered together to discuss for a long time, they finally decided to accept the conditions of Beijing Film Studio.

Beijing Film Academy is the younger brother of China Film Group Corporation. It has finally made a good commercial film, and it has the blessing of a Lunar New Year film. It cannot make the younger brother feel disappointed.

There are also many conflicts between China Film and Western Film. I would be happy to see Beijing Film taking over Western Film!

"We've got seven hundred copies!" Someone from China Film's Distribution Department looked at Song Tao and said, "Let the printing lab work overtime to make the copies!"

Chen Shiping and Song Zhu looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Seven hundred copies! Just make money at the mainland box office!

Once Upon a Time is bound to be a big hit, and even 700 copies may not be enough.

The higher-ups are still holding a meeting this year to discuss the issue of requiring films to be sent to the countryside. There are countless theaters across the country from the provincial level to townships, and 700 copies may not be enough.

China Film will probably need to print more copies to be satisfied.

After coming out of China Film Studio, Song Zhu happily patted Chen Shiping on the shoulder and said, "Shiping, this time you can feel proud in front of China Film Studio."

"China Film hopes that we can feel proud every day." Chen Shiping smacked his lips and said, "China Film and theater chains are going to make a fortune this time."

Song Zhu: "." Suddenly I'm not so happy. What's going on?

However, the opening of the Lunar New Year sale for 700-yuan copies also means that Chen Shiping’s era is coming!

(In the future, the update time will be between six and seven o'clock. I haven't saved the manuscript yet, so I can only do this. There will be another chapter later.)
