Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 145 The radiant Chen Shiping!

The summer sun is just right. The early summer sun is not that hot yet, and it still feels warm on your body.

The courtyard of the theater troupe was very busy with people coming and going. Only Chen Shiping was sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun.

On his lap was a leather-bound notebook with many pages densely written on it.

Relying on his good memory, he never writes anything in advance and just pulls it out of his head when needed.

Keeping a diary is not something serious people do.

Party A and Party B have finished writing a unit of the script. The name of this script is quite appropriate, but the concept is a bit early. The contract between Party A and Party B has not yet become popular in the mainland.

However, private customization is even more unfamiliar, not as good as Party A and Party B.

"Are you all ready?"

Chen Shiping closed his notebook and stood up and said that he planned to go home and finish writing the script after filming the afternoon scene, and then go to the factory to find Song Tao.

"It's done, all dressed up!"

The costumer responded loudly while arranging Xiao Shitou's clothes, and the camera crew led by Zhao Fei also said they were ready.

After all departments responded one by one, Chen Shiping sat behind the monitor. The crew had been following him for a long time and there was no need to check it again himself.

If something really goes wrong while filming, just contact the person in charge directly.

"Farewell My Concubine, the first time in the second shot of Scene 3! 2, 1, !"

In the dilapidated theater troupe, the young apprentices all dressed up today, wearing all their costumes.

Xiao Shitou and the others were standing in the yard playing with knives and guns, but Xiao Douzi was standing by the side alone and reciting Sifan's words.

In the front yard, Master Zhongguan was bending over and smiling, saying some kind words to the owner of the theater.

"Zhang Zhai has entrusted you with the drama booking, so you will be our happy parents! Whether the children can wear new clothes in the second half of the year depends on you."

The owner of the theater combed his oily hair, touched his hair on his temples, and said with a smile: "The clothes are easy to wear, but the theater work is difficult to do."

Master Guan nodded and bent down beside him in response.

"If the thing doesn't work, it doesn't matter if it smashes my face, like you." The theater owner said, turning to Master Guan and nodding, "I can imprison you."

Master Guan didn't raise his waist, but squatted down again, lowered his body and let out a few sighs.

The theater owner's eyes fell on Xiaodouzi who was standing by the well.

Chen Shiping watched Master Guan's performance through the monitor, and he was convinced in his heart. Great talents in human arts are different.

With such a squatting of the legs and a short body, the social status that was popular in the past was vividly displayed!

It also vividly demonstrates the relationship between channel dealers and suppliers.

The theater troupe is the producer, and the theater is the distribution and screening company!

Before you become an adult, you have to stoop down and beg for help! Even if I scold you a few times, it will give you a good face.

The speed of adjusting the camera position was very fast, and Chen Shiping was ready in a blink of an eye.

"Why are you standing on the well?"

Xu Feng asked curiously from behind the monitor: "I didn't understand it when I read the script."

"The symbol, the metaphor of gender, is also a warning that Xiaodouzi is on the verge of danger."

Chen Shiping explained casually, then took the loudspeaker and shouted: "Get ready to start! Pay attention to the lighting, cover the light of Xiaodouzi's lower body from me!"

After hearing what Chen Shiping said, Xu Feng immediately understood, and he admired Chen Shiping more and more in his heart. There are such metaphors and hints in such inconspicuous corners.

Chen Shiping also admires it. Farewell My Concubine is really a good movie!

The best Chinese movie created by a group of masters!

People from various departments of the crew picked it out, and there was no one who didn't have two or three awards or honors.

If Chen Shiping hadn't thought about it for a long time and studied directing for so long, even if he could write the script, he wouldn't be able to copy the classic.

When the audience is watching the movie, who will pay attention to the inconspicuous edge of the well under Xiaodouzi's feet, and how can they think about it.

That’s not even talking about lighting and composition. Can you take a picture after watching a movie?

Who dares to think so, go up and slap him awake with two words!

In classic movies, all the words and props that appear are carefully arranged, and the positions of the actors are all arranged after thinking.

The positional relationship between the characters, the positional relationship between the characters and the camera, and the distance and angle of the characters in the picture are all very particular.

Why do you let the actors stand wherever they want?

When everything was ready, Chen Shiping shouted to start.

Xiaodouzi fluttered his sleeves and walked around the yard. He walked lightly from the other end of the corridor and bowed slowly.

The theater owner nodded slightly and said, "You have a good figure. Do you have any background in Kunqu opera?"

"I have learned two tricks!" Master Guan said with a bowed waist.

"Men are afraid of running at night, and women are afraid of Sifan, so come to Duan Sifan." The theater owner said with interest while sitting on the wooden railing in the corridor.

When the apprentices in the troupe heard this, they all stopped their movements and looked at Xiaodouzi worriedly.

Xiaodouzi sang Sifan's words without thinking.

"The little nun is only twenty-eight years old. She is still in her youth. Her hair was shaved off by her master. I am originally a male, not a female. Why..."

Xiaodouzi stopped singing at this point. The theater owner, who had an appreciative expression on his face, straightened his hair on his temples with his fingers and left without saying a word.

Master Guan immediately caught up with him, bending even lower.

"Master, master, I'm really sorry for you. This child is not usually like this!"

Xiao Shitou and the others looked panicked and dared not speak. Xiao Douzi followed the master uneasily.

At this time, Xiao Shitou gritted his teeth and walked up to the master, took the cigarette rod from his hand, grabbed the little beans and threw them to the side.

"Who told you to come back! I told you it was wrong, I told you you were wrong!"

Xiao Shitou threw Xiao Douzi to the Grand Master's chair in the courtyard with red eyes. Xiao Douzi stared blankly at his senior brother with tears in his eyes and an angry expression.

The theater owner and Master Guan both stopped and walked over.

Little Shitou pressed Little Douzi, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, and grabbed his collar and shouted: "Open your mouth! Open your mouth! Open your mouth! I told you wrong!"

Xiaodouzi looked at his senior brother and slowly opened his mouth.

The copper smoke pot was put into Xiaodouzi's mouth and stirred vigorously!

"Wrong! You're wrong! I told you it was wrong!"

Xiaodouzi closed her eyes in pain, silent tears flowed down her face, and blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

Xiao Shitou hardened his heart, took out the cigarette rod and looked at the blood on it. He dropped the cigarette rod with a heart and stopped looking at Xiaodouzi.

"Let's continue!" Xiao Shitou took the gun thrown by his junior brother and staggered to practice Farewell My Concubine. Xiaodouzi sat there with blood at the corners of his mouth and tears in his eyes. The sun shone from the west, forming a shadow on his face.

The troupe owner looked at this scene in surprise and was a little shocked. He didn't expect such a young child to be so crazy.

Xiaodouzi sat on the Taishi chair, with blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth. He suddenly opened his mouth and sang: "I am originally I am a female Jiao'e"

When the surrounding brothers noticed it, they all stopped their movements and signaled everyone to be quiet. The master who played the clapper also noticed it and quickly stopped playing and looked at Xiaodouzi expectantly.

There was sadness in Xiaodouzi's eyes, tears streaming down her face, and she continued to sing: "Not again" while panting.

Seeing this, the master who was knocking on the clapper hurriedly knocked again.

Xiaodouzi slowly sat up, put his hands on the Taishi chair, and stood up vigorously with both hands.

The troupe was extremely quiet, and no one dared to disturb Xiaodouzi.

There was no expression on Xiaodouzi's face at this time. He slowly walked down the steps and sang softly: "The little nun was only twenty-eight years old, and her hair was cut off by the master in her youth."

Xiaodouzi was singing as she walked forward, and the expression on her face slowly came to life. Her fellow apprentices were surrounding her behind her.

"I am a female concubine, not a tomboy."

Xiaodouzi's tearful brows and eyes showed a hint of vitality and smile, and the brothers behind her also laughed and looked at her.

"Why do you wear a yellow sash around your waist and straight clothes?"

Xiaodouzi raised his hands and swung his sleeves, his stubborn eyebrows softened, and he continued to sing with a charming look: "I saw a couple facing each other in brocade robes. I couldn't help but get anxious, and the slave tore the cassock. !”

I tore my cassock, thought about the world, and returned to the world.

Xiaodouzi was also pulled away. From then on, there was no Xiaodouzi, only Cheng Dieyi's Yu Ji.

"Ever since I followed the king to conquer the east and west~~"

If you are not crazy, you will not survive. If you are crazy, you will chew up your past self and swallow it.

The set was very quiet, everyone was busy packing their things, and then the scene changed.

As the director, Chen Shiping held his chin and looked at the monitor, replaying the scene over and over again.

Xu Feng sat next to him and asked softly: "Isn't that the part just now?"

In Xu Feng's opinion, the scene just now was absolutely amazing, it couldn't be any better, it psychologically castrated a man. Xiaodouzi was really in a state of transformation at that moment, so beautiful that it made people unable to open their eyes.

Chen Shiping shook his head slowly and said, "It was very well shot, so I watched it several times and kept it in mind."

Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She really didn't dare to shoot it again. God knows whether Xiaodouzi can still act. Actors are not always in the best condition.

"Are you late?" Li Bihua's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

Li Bihua was followed by Zhang Guorong and others. When they saw the housekeepers starting to pack their things, they felt very regretful that they had not seen the scene just now.

The scene just now was one of the highlights of the whole drama. I felt really uncomfortable not being able to see it.

Chen Shiping stood up and pulled Zhang Guorong to the monitor, patted him on the shoulder and left.

Li Bihua and the others also gathered around, looking at the small monitor screen, going from curiosity to silence and finally sighing silently.

Zhang Guorong looked at Xiaodouzi's performance in the picture and couldn't help but clench his hands. The performance was so good that he didn't dare to treat it casually, so good that he was worried that he wouldn't be able to catch it!

"You can't live without being crazy." Zhang Guorong couldn't help but muttered, as if he had made up his mind, he said hello to Li Bihua and left.

Five or six hours of study a day is still not enough! Want more!

You can't let this play be ruined in your own hands. You have to pronounce the lyrics by yourself and sing the play by yourself!

Leslie Cheung is gone, Zhang Fengyi is gone, the actors are all gone, and the young actors have all performed like this. For them, this is pressure.

Li Bihua didn't leave. She sat in front of the monitor and lamented for a long time, seeming to sympathize with Xiaodouzi.

"Chen Shiping did a great job with this scene!" Li Bihua turned to look at Xu Feng and said, "I'm so lucky to have Chen Shiping shoot it!"

Xu Feng also nodded with approval. Since the filming started, she has become more and more convinced of Chen Shiping. Even if she shoots a scene ten or eight times, she will not say anything. Even if the crew's food costs thousands of yuan a day, she Also willing to pay.

She is willing to spend any amount of money on a movie like this.

"Where is Chen Shiping? I still owe him a meal." Li Bihua turned around to look for Chen Shiping.

Xu Feng smiled and said: "Let's go, treat me to this meal, I haven't eaten yet."

"Okay." Li Bihua said with some pity.

Chen Shiping on the other side has returned home, sat at his desk, picked up a pen and started writing the script for Party A and Party B.

He was also not at peace inside and wanted to calm himself down in this way.

He sat at the desk and wrote until dark before he put down his sore hands, looked at the densely packed words in the notebook, and let out a long sigh of relief.

You can't survive without being crazy. You have to be crazy to act, and you have to be crazy to make movies. Thanks to your own efforts, the mainland film market finally has an opportunity to reverse its decline, so you can't miss it!

This year’s Lunar New Year must be stronger than previous years! The box office is higher!

It started to rain lightly in the dark sky, and the pattering raindrops cooled down the newly hot weather.

Song Zhu, who had got off work at this time, was preparing to eat at home when he heard a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door and saw Chen Shiping standing outside.

"Shiping? Why are you here? Come in quickly."

After entering the room, Song Tao looked at Chen Shiping in surprise. He took a towel and handed it to him and said, "Wipe it off first. What happened? Come here in such a hurry."

Chen Shiping chuckled, took out his notebook from under his T-shirt, handed it over and said, "Newly written script."

Song Zhen was stunned, took the notebook and said, "Is it for the Lunar New Year?"

"Yes!" Chen Shiping wiped the water droplets from his hair and said with a smile: "I am always worried, so I wrote a script myself."

Song Tao looked at the relaxed smile on Chen Shiping's face, patted his shoulder with his notebook and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Why do you have to work so hard? Let's shine for the film industry!" Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Chen Shiping had another meal here before going home. After he left, Song Zhen was a little confused when he looked at the script. The script was good, but who should he film it with?

Chen Shiping didn't say anything just now. He only said that he would handle the casting and investment. The director didn't mention it at all.

Naturally, Song Zhen didn't think that Chen Shiping wanted to shoot it himself. He didn't know when Farewell My Concubine would be finished, so there was no time to make a New Year's film.

There were not many suitable directors in the factory. Song Zhen was a little confused for a while, who to choose.

Chen Shiping didn't know who to ask for the film, so he didn't mention it to Song Tao. Anyway, he didn't want to ask Xiaogang to film it. He wouldn't be able to be a director and make a movie at the moment.

After giving the script to the studio, Chen Shiping also called Tao Huimin and Guan Zhilin in Xiangjiang and asked them to tell the film companies in Xiangjiang to see who had ideas and could participate in investment.

The news was released the next day. Many people at Xiangjiang Film Company were eager to invest in this movie and get a piece of the pie!

Tao Huimin and Guan Zhilin were planning to go shopping, but before they even got downstairs, their phones were ringing off the hook.

"How much investment does Director Chen's movie require? All Hanshan movies are out!"

"I'll cover the investment, and I'll also give Director Chen an additional 500,000 yuan for retouching, and 500,000 yuan for the production remuneration!"

"Only one million? I'll pay two million! We must win the Lunar New Year slot!"
