Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 148 Why are you wearing Xiaobaicai’s clothes!

The evening sun shone in the garden of Prince Gong's Mansion, and Chen Shiping and the other three were sitting in the pavilion, discussing enthusiastically who should be chosen as the heroine.

This year's Lunar New Year is the third year, and it is also the most important year. We must maintain the results of the previous two years and create new glories, so the choice of each character is extremely important.

Chen Shiping and the major studios clamored for market reform, and now they have finally reformed. If they fail to achieve results, it will be a slap in the face.

If it were in other schedules, Chen Shiping could just choose any famous actor. Anyway, it is a commercial movie as long as it has a gimmick to attract the audience to the cinema.

Song Zhu felt a little helpless at this time. He looked at Chen Shiping and said, "I've tried several things but it doesn't work, so I won't discuss it anymore."

"That's okay. I'll think about it again. I'm so tired these days that I can't even think clearly." Chen Shiping said helplessly.

Xia Gang was also thinking hard beside him. He didn't comment on the discussion just now. He wanted to go back and check the information to see which actresses in Xiangjiang were famous and had suitable acting skills.

"What about the two characters Liang Zi and Qian Kang?"

Chen Shiping immediately said: "You decide on these two actors. They should be from the south. They should be funny and look like they are funny!"

Xia Gang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll look back."

The three of them dispersed, and Chen Shiping was also preparing to call it a day and go home to sleep.

After Chen Shiping got home, he simply took a shower and went to bed without even eating dinner.

He was really exhausted during the filming of Farewell My Concubine, and now he just wanted to have a good sleep.

As for who Party A and Party B would choose as actresses, Chen Shiping didn't bother to worry about it and let Xia Gang worry about it. He could just choose and invite them himself.

No matter how bad the actor is, how bad can he be? If it doesn't work, just ask Guan Zhilin to act.

At this time, over the capital, a plane slowly landed at the airport. Ten minutes later, a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask came out of the airport.

Xia Gang on the other side did not go home at this time but went to the factory to start watching the movies in Xiangjiang, preparing to learn how the movies in Xiangjiang were shot.

Both Chen Shiping and Song Tao have great expectations for Party A and Party B. Now the pressure is entirely on him. If mainland films want to enter the Hong Kong market, they must fight this battle well, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.

Several of Chen Shiping's previous films have achieved high box office in Hong Kong. He can't be embarrassed here, he must be even higher than before!

Comedies and kung fu movies, the chivalry and fighting in kung fu movies are acceptable and understandable to all Chinese, but comedy movies are different, and there are regional differences.

Xia Gang doesn't think that he can win over the Hong Kong audience just by following Chen Shiping's script. He must learn how others film and what style of movies the Hong Kong audience likes to watch!

He picked out a few of the most popular movies and started watching them. After watching a few movies, he found that there was a very beautiful actress in the movie.

Xia Gang watched The Gambler, The God of Gamblers, and The Best Son-in-Law, which were also the highest-grossing movies in recent years.

"This Zhang Min is pretty good, he's good-looking and his facial features are quite grand."

Xia Gang watched Zhang Min's performance in The Gambler and felt that her performance was pretty good. Maybe she could be hired to be the heroine.

Mark Zhang Min! After Xia Gang remembered Zhang Min, he started watching other movies to see if there were any suitable actors.

While Xia Gang was busy selecting actors, Chen Shiping fell asleep and began to dream. He vaguely felt someone crawling under his bed.

In the dark bedroom, Chen Shiping slept soundly and deeply.

In the darkness, Guan Zhilin lay beside the bed and couldn't help laughing while looking at the sleeping Chen Shiping. However, she did not disturb Chen Shiping, but stood up and looked at the bedroom.

Like a hostess, she opened the cabinet, rummaged through the clothes and made some gestures on herself, then sat down in front of the dressing table and pretended to put on makeup, and looked back at Chen Shiping who was lying on the bed.

Tired of playing in the bedroom, she went to the kitchen to put on an apron and pretend to be a housewife.

Water the flowers on the balcony, wipe the table, and finally go to the bathroom to take a shower, put on Tao Huimin's pajamas and look at herself in the mirror.

Guan Zhilin imitated some of Tao Huimin's moves in front of the mirror. After playing for a while, he couldn't help laughing.

"Husband, I'm back."

When Chen Shiping was in a daze when he heard someone calling him husband, he thought it was Tao Huimin who was back, so he turned over and hugged him out of habit.

Rub the soft rocking limbs a few times, then climb up.

In the darkness, Guan Zhilin covered his mouth and took a small breath.

Her fair face quickly turned red, and her legs couldn't help but twist together.

She didn't dare to make a sound, and she didn't want to wake up Chen Shiping. She just wanted to pretend to be Tao Huimin tonight, pretending to be the mistress of the house.

The air conditioner in the room was blowing cold air, but Guan Zhilin still felt very hot and couldn't help but gently kick off the quilt.

The slender and straight legs tightened instantly when the cold air from the air conditioner blew, and the small and round jiao toes couldn't help but curl up and unclench.

But the air conditioning in the room didn't cool her down. Instead, her body felt even hotter, as if there were two soldering irons on her body.

The summer in the capital was too hot. Guan Zhilin raised his neck, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

She leaned back slightly and immediately moved away, as if a volcano was burning every inch of her body.

It was just that kind of temperature that made her unable to help but get closer.

The hot temperature made her look like a roasted prawn. Her body slowly turned red, and she slowly curled up into a semicircle and kept moving backwards.

Guan Zhilin bit a corner of the pillow and felt that he was so hot that he was sweating all over.

The water all over his body is constantly flowing out, gathering into a stream to extinguish the hot volcano.

In the dark bedroom, Guan Zhilin bit her pillow. The hot weather made it impossible for her to stay calm, and her body kept curling up.

The body that had shrunk into a prawn began to move uncontrollably, hoping that the water lost from the body would extinguish the source of the scorching heat.

After an unknown amount of time, Guan Zhilin felt that he was almost out of oxygen, and the water in his body was evaporated by the hot weather.

But the source is still so hot, with no sign of being extinguished. In desperation, Guan Zhilin had to work harder.

The sound of breathing became louder and louder in the dark night, and Guan Zhilin's pillow was bitten wet.

The temperature in the room keeps rising, like a silent mockery of the air conditioner.

With her continuous efforts, she felt that her brain was beginning to become blurry due to the heat.

Her breasts couldn't help but twitch, as if her green-white jiao toes suddenly opened. She let go of the pillow she was biting and let out a long sigh.

The early morning sunlight shone into the bedroom through the cracks in the curtains. Chen Shiping opened his eyes drowsily. After sitting up from the bed, he saw Tao Huimin putting on makeup in front of the dressing table at the end of the bed.

Chen Shiping slapped his head violently, "Tao Huimin, that's Guan Zhilin!"

"Are you awake?" Guan Zhilin turned around and said to Chen Shiping with a smile, holding a lipstick by Tao Huimin in his hand.

Chen Shiping rubbed his temples and remembered what happened last night. He looked at her dumbfounded and said, "Why are you wearing A Min's clothes?"

Guan Zhilin tilted his head and looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Does it look good?"

Chen Shiping couldn't help coughing and said, "Take it off quickly, don't make her clothes stretch out."

Guan Zhilin pouted, then took off his pajamas in front of Chen Shiping, and calmly folded the clothes and put them in the closet.

In order to prevent Guan Zhilin from hanging her clothes properly, Chen Shiping stared at her intently throughout the process to prevent her from being lazy!

But she felt a little helpless in her heart. She used to find excuses to drink tea, but now she started to pretend to have a split personality.

You tell me how this can be done!

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Xiangjiang's film company relies on Guan Zhilin for help most of the time. He is a natural partner and ally. It is impossible to pretend to be stupid all the time.

After Guan Zhilin changed back into her own clothes, she became the thirteenth aunt again, intellectually mature and full of charm.

After Chen Shiping got dressed and came out, Guan Zhilin was sitting on the sofa with a document in front of him and glasses on his small nose.

"This is a co-production application from Party A and Party B, and there are also contracts from several film companies. The funds are already in place and can be called at any time."

Guan Zhilin raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Have you chosen the actor?"

Chen Shiping was still not used to her changing so quickly, so he couldn't help but smile before saying, "Not yet, just wait for two days."

"Okay, let me know any news at any time." Guan Zhilin said as he picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

Chen Shiping smiled bitterly and said, "Let's leave later. There are people outside now. Where did you get the key?"

"I won't tell you." Guan Zhilin sat back again, propped up his chin and said, "But what are you doing here if you can't go out? Do you want some tea?"

Good tea, a familiar part, this is the Thirteenth Aunt!

On this day, Chen Shiping stayed at home all day without leaving the house. Why did he want to relax after being busy for so long?

Can anyone in the factory let him go to work? !

It wasn't until early in the morning that Chen Shiping secretly sent Guan Zhilin to the Capital Hotel.

When he gets home, the first thing he does is clean it!

After half an hour of busy work and cleaning all the rooms, Chen Shiping lay on the bed and fell asleep.

At this time in Xiangjiang, Tao Huimin was having supper with Shi Nansheng.

"Have you got everything you need to purchase?" Shi Nansheng asked with a smile.

Tao Huimin ate wontons and nodded and said, "I've bought them all, but there are two custom-made suits that haven't been finished yet."

Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "It will be soon. When it is done, I will accompany you back to the mainland."

"Are you going to the mainland too?" Tao Huimin asked curiously.

Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "Of course I want to go. Party A and Party B will probably start the machine soon. Let's go and have a look."

Tao Huimin hummed, thinking of Guan Zhilin who had already gone to the capital in advance, and couldn't help but said to Shi Nansheng: "Isn't the movie this time particularly important? Miss Guan flew there in person to deliver the documents."

"Of course it's important. This is the first Lunar New Year film after the reform of the mainland film market, and it's also a co-production. I don't know how many people are watching it."

After Shi Nansheng explained, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Guan Zhilin was going to deliver documents. He really wanted to tell Tao Huimin.

It's just that she and Chen Shiping are partners, so these things are destined not to be told to Tao Huimin.

The world of adults cannot only focus on friendship, especially in Xiangjiang, a place where capital is rampant and materialism is rampant.

The brotherhood and loyalty in Xiangjiang movies are just to satisfy everyone's fantasies. In reality, they can only be seen in movies.

Movies are really a mirror of a place, and through movies you can see the essence of that place.

Mainland directors are pursuing works with practical significance, and Bayan filmmakers are also paying attention to social issues, whether it is Yang Dechang or Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Only filmmakers in Hong Kong continue to make movies about gangsters, beauties, and money, all of which are inseparable from material things.

Among the two places, Xiangjiang is the most special. Even though it is the closest to the mainland, it is the least like the mainland.

In the screening room of Beijing Film Studio, Xia Gang rubbed his sore eyes. He had watched a lot of Xiangjiang movies in the past few days and found something very strange.

If it is a costume drama, Xiangjiang's movies still resonate with the mainland, but modern dramas are completely different from the mainland. Xiangjiang's movies are too stingy and capitalist.

He is a little confused now. How should Party A and Party B film the film, and what style of filming can be accepted by audiences in the mainland and Hong Kong at the same time.

Full of doubts, Xia Gang went directly to Chen Shiping to get answers from him.

Hearing Xia Gang's question, Chen Shiping couldn't help laughing, looked at him and said, "Director Xia, we are not here to cater to them, we are here to guide them!"

Xia Gang's eyes lit up, he looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Didn't you say you want to pursue box office?"

Chen Shiping shook his head and said: "What I am pursuing is the mainland's Lunar New Year box office. As long as the box office in Xiangjiang is not ugly."

This time, let Hong Kong filmmakers see the huge mainland film market, instead of catering to Hong Kong!
