Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 87 You have to be responsible!

Time is like water in a sponge, it will be gone after squeezing it out.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Chen Shiping is also anxious to return to the mainland. Things in Xiangjiang have been almost settled.

Not only Chen Shiping is celebrating the New Year, but the filmmakers in Hong Kong are also celebrating the New Year. Director Chen continues to be here and I don’t know how many people are in a bad mood.

There is only one thing left that has not been dealt with, and that is the casting of New Dragon Gate Inn. Lin Qingxia has not replied to him yet.

This little girl has been moaning and groaning for several days. Work is not a relationship, so why hesitate?

Dongfang Bubai acted so domineeringly, but why is the reality so complicated? No wonder he has been entangled with Er Qin for so many years.

She finally figured out the tangled love triangle. She was not decisive or courageous at all, and she wasted half her life for love.

Chen Shiping felt that he had been a bit hasty in letting Lin Qingxia choose by herself before. The difference between Lin Qingxia on the screen and reality was too big.

"Do you have time today? Come out and meet and talk about the role." Chen Shiping said while holding the phone.

Lin Qingxia was doing some cooking at home. When she heard Chen Shiping's words, she immediately sat up and said, "Yes, where can we meet?"

"Peninsula, is one hour enough for you?"

"No problem, see you in an hour."

Lin Qingxia hung up the phone with a hint of pride in her eyes, "You don't care, why don't you take the initiative to ask me!"

But after opening the closet and looking at the densely packed clothes inside, I suddenly didn't want to go out.

It’s so troublesome to choose clothes and put on makeup.

Lin Qingxia was a little confused about whether to call Chen Shiping, but she was worried about being scolded by him.

In her opinion, Chen Shiping was a man who could change his attitude faster than he could turn the pages of a book.

So annoying!

Why are there so many multiple choice questions in life!

Lin Qingxia struggled for a while before choosing a random outfit and going out without even applying lipstick.

It’s not about falling in love anyway, so why should I put on makeup?

At the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel's cafe, Chen Shiping attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered.

Wearing a black Chinese jacket, a white shirt, and a crew cut, he was completely different from the Western-styled customers in the cafe.

Peninsula Cafe is the choice of many celebrities, and Chen Shiping was recognized by many people as soon as he appeared.

But no one came up to say hello. They just sat there and looked at him, trying to see who he was looking for today.

Chen Shiping's steps were very steady, and he didn't care about those eyes at all. It was best to remember his face carefully.

When I come to Xiangjiang next time, everyone here must stand up!

Chen Shiping chose a seat by the window and sat down, taking a look at the time on his watch.

There are still twenty minutes before the agreed time, and I don't know if Lin Qingxia will be late.

The main reason is that I don’t know where Lin Qingxia lives. If I cross the sea, I guess I will have to wait.

At the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Qingxia got out of the car, threw the keys to the parking boy and went upstairs.

When she came to the coffee shop, Lin Qingxia saw many friends and greeted them one by one before she saw Chen Shiping sitting alone in the corner.

This guy looks quite pitiful, doesn't he have any friends?

Lin Qingxia walked over and sat opposite Chen Shiping, took off her sunglasses and looked at him and said, "Don't you have anything to drink?"

"I don't know what you want to drink. I'll wait for you to order some." Chen Shiping waved to the waiter.

Lin Qingxia directly ordered a cup of coffee without looking at the menu.

Chen Shiping looked at the menu and said, "It's quite fast this time."

"Ok?"

Lin Qingxia was confused for a moment and then realized what Chen Shiping meant, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

After Chen Shiping casually ordered a cup of coffee, he returned the menu to the waiter.

"You haven't thought about it yet?"

"No." Lin Qingxia said dullly, not in a good mood.

Chen Shiping frowned and said, "What are your concerns?"

"I don't know." Lin Qingxia said nonchalantly.

Lin Qingxia's attitude made Chen Shiping want to hit someone! What does it mean not to know!

"Then don't choose, play Qiu Moyan!" Chen Shiping said directly.

Lin Qingxia suddenly became unhappy, looked at Chen Shiping and said, "You didn't let me choose between the two roles, and now you won't let me choose?"

"Didn't you have a bad choice? It's been a few days, and I still thought you were choosing a boyfriend." Chen Shiping didn't have that much patience and said directly: "That's it."

Lin Qingxia looked at Chen Shiping unconvinced and said: "I don't play Qiu Moyan, I play Jin Xiangyu!"

"I suddenly feel that you are not suitable." Chen Shiping leaned back on the chair and said lightly: "You can't play a woman like Jin Xiangyu, who is graceful, charming, and sharp."

"Acting is different from being a human being!"

"Similarly, you are still more suitable for Qiu Moyan. He is trapped by love but hurt by ruthlessness."

"you"

Lin Qingxia suddenly felt discouraged. This was why she liked Qiu Moyan, as if she saw herself.

Seeing Lin Qingxia's frustrated look, Chen Shiping felt that he had screwed up.

Originally, I wanted to stimulate Lin Qingxia and let her find the feeling of being fierce and daring to love and hate like Jin Xiangyu, but why did she call her depressed?

Why is it that Guan Zhilin is so easy to fool? He has no fighting spirit at all!

Seeing that Lin Qingxia remained silent, Chen Shiping wanted to go back to make amends.

"Actually"

"There is no truth." Lin Qingxia interrupted Chen Shiping and said, "You are right, that's the kind of person I am."

"Then play Qiu Moyan?"

Chen Shiping thought that Lin Qingxia's role as Qiu Moyan was also good. She also played Qiu Moyan in the original version. Although it was not as brilliant as Jin Xiangyu, it was not bad.

Lin Qingxia stirred the coffee in her cup and looked up at Chen Shiping and said, "I want to play Jin Xiangyu, is it okay? I want to try."

Chen Shiping: "." I can't understand her more and more.

"You are right, but I want to change. Can you give me a chance?"

Lin Qingxia looked at Chen Shiping seriously. Her face without makeup looked very beautiful up close, and there was a trace of determination in her big eyes.

Chen Shiping calmed down the expression on his face and said, "Are you serious?"

Lin Qingxia nodded, suddenly leaned back, as if she understood something, and said to herself: "Actually, I envy those decisive people in my heart. When facing feelings, I always hesitate. I will wait passively.”

Chen Shiping pinched his fingers and didn't understand why she was still feeling sad.

But it’s still determined for once, so let her play the role of Jin Xiangyu.

After a while, Lin Qingxia came back to her senses, looked at him and said, "Let me play Jin Xiangyu, and I will let you see a different Lin Qingxia!"

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in your determination! I hope to see your changes!"

"Thank you."

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she felt relieved. She felt that she should really put an end to the past. She continued to struggle with it, and she didn't know how many more years would be wasted.

"Then Qiu Moyan, who are you going to find to play the role?"

Lin Qingxia was very curious about Chen Shiping's choice. Based on the reason he just said that he was not suitable, she felt that he should choose the most suitable person based on the actor's personality. "I originally thought you would choose Qiu Moyan, so I wanted to find Zhang Manyu to play Jin Xiangyu." Chen Shiping rubbed his temples and said, "But now, I can't find him."

Anita Mui is actually quite suitable, but her position is not good and Chen Shiping will not choose her.

Then find an actor from the mainland.

After Chen Shiping and Lin Qingxia chatted for a few more words, they said goodbye and left.

Lin Qingxia looked at Chen Shiping's leaving figure and finally understood why Guan Zhilin said that Chen Shiping was very good at helping actors find their state.

It's just that a martial arts film is so serious. If I can make his literary film, the harvest will be even greater.

Suddenly I really want to collaborate with him in a literary film.

Two days later, Chen Shiping landed at Beijing Airport. This time he didn't save money to take the train.

Chen Shiping didn't tell Xiaobaicai about his flight back because he didn't want her to come over to pick him up. The airport was quite far away and it would be very cold in winter.

Half an hour later, Chen Shiping returned to the factory. The first thing he did was to report to the main building.

This time I went to Xiangjiang and gained a lot. There were also unplanned things that Chen Shiping must report clearly to the factory.

After listening to Chen Shiping's report, Song Tao did the math and said, "You mean the co-production department will produce four films this year?"

New Dragon Inn, Once Upon a Time Part 2, New Fist of Fury and Farewell My Concubine, this is what Chen Shiping has brought to the co-production department this year, and this does not include the Wives and Concubines that he has to shoot.

"Well, there may be more." Chen Shiping coughed and said, "If we shoot quickly, there may be more in the second half of the year."

Song Zhu: "." Should I be happy or melancholy?

The output of the co-production department has almost caught up with the total production of the factory last year. If this continues, other directors in the factory will have objections.

"The co-production department generates revenue and money for the studio, while other directors do art!" Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Isn't Xi Film Studio also relying on this type of film to generate revenue, and let Zhang Yimou do art."

Song Tao smoked a cigarette and nodded, then looked at Chen Shiping and said, "What about yourself? Are you just going to be a producer?"

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "I will direct New Dragon Inn and ask director Li Wenhua to name it. The preparation of Farewell My Concubine will take a long time. I will make another literary film."

"Practice with martial arts first? That's not bad." Song Tao said with a smile: "You are worried that you won't be able to shoot well, so you asked Director Li to help you, right?"

Chen Shiping laughed and said: "Director Li is a senior, this is called supporting the juniors!"

"You are the one who is naughty." Song Tao smiled and shook his head, and then said: "Then let me help you with Director Li."

"Then I'll trouble the factory director!"

It’s good to have a leader to protect you, and you don’t have to be the bad guy yourself.

After chatting with Song Zhu for a few more words, Chen Shiping hurried home.

In the middle of winter, Xiao Baicai wouldn't be able to keep warm under the covers alone at home. Women awaken to their ice nature as soon as winter comes.

When Chen Shiping went home and went upstairs, he bumped into Jiang Shan and Jiang Huayan, who both lived in the same building.

In the narrow stairway, Jiang Huaiyan and Jiang Shan looked at Chen Shiping hurriedly up, feeling quite complicated in their hearts.

One is an old leader, and the other once made a secret promise, but now it has become a smoke in the past.

Jiang Shan looked at Chen Shiping and said hello with a smile: "Just came back from Xiangjiang?"

Chen Shiping nodded, smiled and greeted Jiang Huayan. After saying this, he was about to go upstairs when Jiang Huayan pulled Chen Shiping to have a chat with him.

"Shanshan, you go down first, I'll talk to Shi Ping." Jiang Huaiyan looked at Jiang Shan and said.

Jiang Shan hesitated but nodded obediently and went downstairs. She probably guessed why her father was looking for Chen Shiping. He just wanted to find a way for her. She was already a junior this year.

After Jiang Shan came downstairs, Jiang Huayan suddenly looked at Chen Shiping with a straight face and said, "Did you hook up with Shanshan to go dancing before? You want to have a date with her!"

"Old leader, you are slandering me!" Chen Shiping said without admitting it.

Jiang Huaiyan didn't care about that. He looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Don't explain! I heard it all from Shanshan. Look at the good things you did. Shanshan is still in school!"

Chen Shiping: "." Why is this old man still settling accounts after the fall? How long has it been?

"Old leader, you didn't let me get close to Jiang Shan before, but I never found her. You can't now."

"Don't call me the leader. You are now the director of the co-production department. I can't afford to be that."

Jiang Huaiyan snorted, then his expression softened and he looked at Chen Shiping and asked, "How many projects will we go to Xiangjiang this time?"

Chen Shiping's heart moved, and he probably guessed what Jiang Huaiyan was thinking. He was deliberately looking for trouble and paving the way for Jiang Shan, right? He thought he would be responsible.

After thinking about it, Chen Shiping immediately said: "Teacher Jiang, I was just about to tell Jiang Shan that I have a role that I think she is very suitable for!"

Jiang Huaiyan looked at Chen Shiping in surprise. He felt that this guy was more transparent now, so he asked, "What movie?"

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "It's a literary film, definitely a good one. It's just a supporting role. I don't know if Jiang Shan can like it."

"There are no roles, no matter how big or small." After Jiang Huaiyan said seriously, he couldn't help but ask: "Where's the script? Show it to me."

"The script hasn't been finished yet, but it's an adaptation of Su Tong's novel Housewives, which was published in Harvest."

Jiang Huaiyan nodded, probably knowing it well.

It shouldn’t be too bad for the novel to be published in terms of revenue. Chen Shiping is a writer himself, and his vision is not bad. It seems to be a really good novel.

"I'll ask Shanshan about this later. She may not be willing to take your role." Jiang Huayan sighed deeply as he spoke, as if Chen Shiping was a heartless person.

Chen Shiping twitched his lips and was too lazy to argue with him. The old fox got an advantage and acted like a good boy!

Go upstairs and eat some cabbage!

After Chen Shiping went upstairs, at the corner of the stairs downstairs, Jiang Shan stuck her head out and looked at Jiang Huayan standing above.

This was the first time she knew that Chen Shiping had been cold to her before, and it turned out that he had been warned by Jiang Huayan.

Jiang Huaiyan also saw Jiang Shan downstairs, and secretly thought to himself that he had accidentally become the head of a feudal family.

"Shanshan, why didn't you go downstairs?" Jiang Huaiyan went downstairs with a smile on his face.

Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Huaiyan with a complicated expression and said, "Can't I hear you worrying about me so much when I go downstairs?"

Jiang Huaiyan: "." This girl is also capable of yin and yang.

In fact, he also regretted it in his heart. Now it seems that Chen Shiping is really a good son-in-law.

What a pity, what a pity, if I had known better, I wouldn't have been careful about Chen Shiping!

Chen Shiping, who returned home on the other side, quietly opened the door and went in. As soon as the door opened, the aroma from the kitchen wafted over, and Chen Shiping suddenly felt hungry.

It's better to be at home. Chen Shiping walked to the kitchen door and watched Xiao Baicai cooking inside as he walked in and hugged her from behind.

Tao Huimin was startled and relieved when he found out it was Chen Shiping.

Tao Huimin clapped his hand angrily and said, "You didn't say anything when you came back. If my colleagues hadn't seen you come back, I wouldn't have known."

"I want to surprise you."

"It's not too scary." Tao Huimin felt sweet in her heart. She turned around and pushed Chen Shiping and said, "Go out and wait first. It's full of oil smoke."

Chen Shiping did not let go and said ruthlessly: "No, I will hold you!"

"Why are you acting like a child?" Tao Huimin said helplessly with a sweet burden on his face: "You can hug me, as long as you don't delay the cooking."
