Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 121 Aunt Thirteen’s special medicine!

At night, Chen Shiping sat at his desk and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the recently introduced movies and purchased copies of China Film.

One of the most popular movies among the movies that introduced buyouts in the mainland this year is Mommy Loves Me Again. I don’t know how many people burst into tears after watching it.

Chen Shiping didn't dare to go to the cinema alone. He would wait for Xiao Baicai to come back and go with her, taking her mother with him! Make them cry!

Mommy Love Me Again is so popular that Chen Shiping is now very lucky that when New Dragon Inn was released, this movie was only released on a small scale, otherwise he would have been crushed by this movie.

After Mommy Loves Me Again caused a sensation with its small-scale release in June, China Film Group quickly launched nationwide distribution this month. Currently, more than 320 copies have been issued, and more copies are being issued continuously.

At present, there are more than 40 million moviegoers and a box office of nearly 30 million. The final box office of over 100 million is a certainty.

Chen Shiping was really envious. If there weren't so many copies of New Dragon Gate Inn, he would have been knocked to the ground and beaten by this movie.

This movie is produced by Wanwan. In 1989, it was canceled within three days of its release in Wanwan. After being introduced by China Film Group Corporation this year, it became a hit in the mainland, which many people did not expect.

I guess the film company in Wanwan will cry to death because it was bought out at such a cheap price, but it got so much box office in the mainland.

It is also because of the popularity of this movie that many film companies in Wanwan and Xiangjiang have become excited and are thinking about continuing to co-produce and then increase the unit price of the copies. It is best to sell hundreds of copies.

Film companies in Hong Kong, like film studios in mainland China, do not get box office revenue and can only receive buyout fees for copies.

The more copies they make, the more money they make, not to mention the imported films. This can be divided, but the number is too small. There are only ten Hong Kong films and Western films.

Cheng Long relied on this method to enter the mainland market, first with Drunken Master 2 and then with a popular movie that directly won the box office championship in .

However, at that time, the mainland film market was already sluggish, many theaters were cancelled, and the number of moviegoers dropped sharply, otherwise the box office would have been higher.

Chen Shiping looked at the information obtained from Zhonghe and China Film and could not help but sneer in his heart. Hong Kong films have only been glorious for a few years.

In the past few years, Wanwan has begun to withdraw its investment one after another. In 1993, there will be a large-scale divestment. In 1996, restrictions on Western films will be relaxed. Xiangjiang Film will completely lose the Wanwan market.

After 1993, the mainland restricted co-productions, and Xiangjiang lost its market in the mainland. After that, it went downhill. It will not be until the mainland liberalizes the market after the millennium that Xiangjiang movies can continue to breathe.

Chen Shiping was in a good mood, thinking about how to chat with people from these film companies after going to Xiangjiang.

If we don’t embrace the mainland market as early as possible at this time, it will be too late later.

Chen Shiping felt that he was pressed for time and had heavy tasks, so he had to speed up and move up a level, otherwise he would not be able to kill these guys in the future!

Even if you finally go overseas, you must thoroughly expand your network of relationships. China Cooperation, China Film and Bank will all have their own talents in the future!

When Chen Shiping was reading the information and preparing to take a rest, his cellphone suddenly rang. After picking up the call, he heard Guan Zhilin's voice and suddenly felt a little thirsty.

Let's go have a cup of tea with Aunt Thirteen, and give the female star in Xiangjiang a stick first!

Chen Shiping came to the door of Guan Zhilin's room, raised his hand and knocked on it when the door was opened.

Guan Zhilin, who was wearing business attire and glasses, made his eyes light up. He almost blurted out, "Teacher, hello, no, no, no, it's Aunt Thirteen."

Seeing the surprise flashing in Chen Shiping's eyes, Guan Zhilin couldn't help but laugh, took a step back and said, "I've already made the tea. I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Chen Shiping drank a lot of tea today and was very energetic now. He immediately walked in and closed the door behind him.

After a while, the two people's hypocritical conversation was heard in the room.

"Li Lianjie is injured, what about the promotion of Once Upon a Time?"

"It's okay. It doesn't matter. Hey, this tea is good."

"Really? I came from Xiangjiang specially. Oh, I'm sorry to have wet your clothes again. Let me wipe them for you."

Under the dim light, Guan Zhilin sat on his knees on the ground, wiping tea stains carefully, his fair and slender fingers flying up and down like green onions.

Guan Zhilin looked up at Chen Shiping, raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses and said, "Did I wipe it too hard?"

Chen Shiping slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you have any medicine? Just apply some medicine and it will be fine."

Guan Zhilin thought for a moment, then said with a blushing face: "Yes, Baozhilin's specialty."

"This is good, let's try it first!"

"Is there anything better? This won't work."

Guan Zhilin tilted his head and thought for a moment, then gently licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes."

After a while, there were a few more clothes on the ground.

The patient Chen Shiping lay motionless on the bed, quietly waiting for the specific medicine.

Guan Zhilin looked at Chen Shiping condescendingly, took off his glasses and said, "It's time to apply the medicine. Apply the medicine first. If it doesn't work, massage it."

"Thirteenth Aunt, you can come as you like!" Chen Shiping said as if he were dead. You can't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment.

Guan Zhilin chuckled, and there was a sound in the room.

Chen Shiping felt that it was too difficult for him. Every time he met Guan Zhilin, he would be splashed with water or injured, but he still liked to drink tea with Guan Zhilin.

The next morning, Chen Shiping recovered from his illness, but Aunt Thirteen was exhausted. It was difficult for such a troublesome patient.

"Doctor, doctor!"

At this time, in a hospital in Xiangjiang, a group of people carried a man into the hospital.

Both of the man's arms were drooped, and he looked seriously injured.

"Doctor, come here quickly! Otherwise I will destroy the hospital!"

"Come and see my boss!"

The doctor hurried over and asked quickly: "What's the situation? Where is the injury?!"

"Damn it, you're a doctor and you don't know how to see it yourself!"

"My hand is broken! I can't see it!"

Looking at these clamoring gangsters, the doctor couldn't help but frown, and asked them to carry the person to the emergency bed, then sent them waiting outside. A group of street boys. It was difficult to talk to them, but this man was also miserable, both arms were deformed.

I don’t know who I offended. It’s so miserable, but it’s fun to watch. These street kids should be arrested!

Yuan Heping, who was filming in the film studio at this time, suddenly received a call from Xiangjiang. After hearing that the two martial arts masters had arrived home, they felt relieved.

"Leave them alone and don't pay for soup and medicine!" Yuan Heping said angrily and was about to hang up when he heard the other person talking about Junsheng's movie.

After Yuan Heping listened and told them that they were not allowed to have any contact with people from Junsheng Films, they immediately wanted to find Chen Shiping.

He didn't expect that the matter would cause such a big fuss, nor did he expect that at such an old age, Director Liao would still be so angry and act vigorously and resolutely.

He had no sympathy at all for the situation of Junsheng's movie. Instead, he felt that they deserved it. If it hadn't been for them, they wouldn't have lost so much money!

Now he was a little worried that Mr. Liao would catch him after he returned to Xiangjiang, so he anxiously asked Chen Shiping for an attitude.

Does this end here, or has it just begun?

After Chen Shiping returned to the film studio after recovering from his injury, he was blocked by Yuan Heping before he had time to rest.

Chen Shiping yawned and looked at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with the filming?"

"No, has Director Chen received any news from Xiangjiang today?" Yuan Heping asked tentatively.

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "I heard that someone was hospitalized today, but it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you either. Finishing the movie is the main business."

"Yes, yes, then I will go filming."

Yuan Heping breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran to film. This movie must be made well! Can't be found fault with!

Watching his leaving figure, Chen Shiping curled his lips. He was a good person, but it was a pity that he accepted two greedy and ignorant martial arts masters.

Chen Shiping took a look at the time and was about to go to the office to handle some work. He had some time to go to Xiangjiang when he was stopped by Chen Hong.

Yesterday on the set, she heard many people talking about Li Lianjie's injury. She felt that there was a lot going on, so she couldn't help but come over to gossip with Chen Shiping.

"Why are you gossiping like this?" Chen Shiping smiled and briefly talked to her, but many things were not explained so clearly.

After hearing this, Chen Hong's eyes were bright and she felt so excited. She was arrested and brought to the hospital after drinking tea.

"All Xiangjiang movies are like this!" Chen Hong said excitedly.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Movies come from life."

After chatting with her for a few more words, Chen Shiping went to the office to handle work and prepare to go to Xiangjiang.

Leave early and come back early. I have to see my mother-in-law on November.

That afternoon, after Chen Shiping returned home from the work at hand, he was thinking about what to eat for dinner when Li Lianjie came over.

He also heard from friends in Xiangjiang what happened there, and coupled with the news from the crew, he guessed the reason for his injury.

Chen Shiping looked at the angry Li Lianjie and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, it's all solved."

"If I hadn't protected my head at that time, it wouldn't have been my eyebrow bone that was injured!" Li Lianjie said angrily: "Those people in Xiangjiang are so xenophobic, and now they even dare to target movies in Yindu!"

"So they are brave." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "I will go to Xiangjiang tomorrow to give them some color."

Li Lianjie immediately said: "Director Chen, don't go, you may be retaliated against."

Chen Shiping shrugged and said, "I can stay away for the rest of my life. They don't have the guts to do anything to me yet."

Li Lianjie shook his head and said, "You don't know how courageous those people are!"

"I wish they were bolder." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "I am different from you. You are an actor in Xiangjiang and make a living. I am here to give them a job."

Li Lianjie stared at Chen Shiping suspiciously, wondering if he was telling the contrary.

These days, Hong Kong movies are so popular in the mainland, and everyone who comes to the mainland to film is arrogant.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "You don't understand. It won't work a few years earlier, and it won't work a few years later. These two years are just right."

Li Lianjie looked at Chen Shiping with questions on his face. He really didn't understand where Chen Shiping's confidence came from.

Chen Shiping did not explain to him that Xiangjiang Film was in the most embarrassing period regardless of the international situation or the current micro-environment.

It went downhill in a few years. It was brilliant in the past few years, but now it is in a stage of neither improvement nor decline, and both sides are not happy.

The Wanwan side is gradually giving up its support, and the Mainland side has not yet opened its arms. Xiangjiang Film is in a period of confusion.

As for revenge, Chen Shiping really doesn't worry about it. What is his identity? This time he went with the mission of Zhonghe and China Film. If anyone tries to take revenge, your teeth will be knocked out.

After comforting Li Lianjie for a while, Chen Shiping went out to eat with him. This guy had just received the money for Yuan Heping's soup and medicine. He was so rich that he had to treat him!

The next day Chen Shiping set off for Xiangjiang. This time he wanted everyone in the film company to shout, "Mom, love me again!"

After Chen Shiping arrived in Xiangjiang, he met and chatted with Director Liao for several hours, and then made phone calls one by one according to the list of co-production applications from China Cooperation.

Want to get together?

Sorry, the co-production review process is very troublesome. Your format is wrong and it won’t be approved!

Chen Shiping came here this time to show off his power. Because of this incident, both Zhonghe and China Film felt that Xiangjiang was a bit too much.

So I cooperated with Chen Shiping and asked him to give it a try and see where the hearts of the people in the Xiangjiang Film Company went.

If Chen Shiping doesn't handle it well and makes a fuss, just throw him out and transfer him from Beijing Film Studio.

If this was handled properly, future co-productions and film exchanges would not be the current situation.

Director Chen feels that he is under a lot of pressure, but he is very confident.

Not to mention the popularity and box office response of Once Upon a Time and New Dragon Inn, even the popularity of Mom, Love Me Again in the Mainland was enough to make these film companies excited.

Who would have trouble with money? Wanwan doesn't want to take them to play now. If she doesn't go home to find her mother, she will be hungry.
