Chapter 155: Obedient, get up and take medicine

The half-covered curtains were gently blown by the breeze, and the sun shone into the bedroom through the white window screens.

The slanting sunlight shines on the bed, and bright, dazzling spots fall on the little feet of Tao Huimin and Guan Zhilin, like the most perfect works of art.

Chen Shiping leaned against the door and admired them quietly, watching their white calves swaying and their round, white toes curling up nimbly.

Sometimes Chen Shiping is curious about why girls like to curl up their toes and play the piano rhythmically.

Tao Huimin and Guan Zhilin lay together, pointing to the photos in the magazine and whispering, their slender calves touching each other from time to time, like a seductive dance.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but knock on the bedroom door to remind them that he was back, and he would think too much if they read further.

Tao Huimin, who heard the noise, turned around and saw Chen Shiping standing at the door. He immediately sat up and said, "You're back."

"What are you looking at? We are having so much fun chatting." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

"Reading a magazine." Tao Huimin said with a smile. Behind her, Guan Zhilin secretly winked at Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping feels that it is very dangerous now. Guan Zhilin is going to join this family. Fortunately, Chen Hong is on the Three Kingdoms crew at this time, otherwise it will definitely be more chaotic.

"What's for dinner? I don't think I've cooked anything." Chen Shiping walked out of the bedroom and said without looking again.

Tao Huimin said with a smile: "I'm going out to eat tonight. I don't want to cook. By the way, have you bought any anti-fever medicine?"

"I bought it," Chen Shiping said, taking out the small paper bag containing the medicine from his pocket and handing it to Guan Zhilin, who had just walked out of the bedroom.

Tao Huimin frowned and said, "Why buy just this little? Buy more and keep it at home for later use."

"I'll buy it later." Chen Shiping said casually.

Tao Huimin didn't care and went to the kitchen to pour water. Guan Zhilin looked at the small paper bag in his hand and walked to Chen Shiping and asked quietly: "What kind of medicine is this? It's not an antipyretic medicine."

"Huaying Pills." Chen Shiping replied speechlessly.

Guan Zhilin was stunned for a moment, then he understood and couldn't help but laugh out loud. The name was quite appropriate, but it sounded so cruel.

"You can still laugh, but be careful in the future." Chen Shiping said softly, not sure whether he was telling Guan Zhilin or himself.

Guan Zhilin curled his lips and glanced at the kitchen, then whispered into Chen Shiping's ear: "You were the one who grabbed my waist and refused to let me hide!"

"I don't want to take medicine."

Guan Zhilin pretended to be pitiful and begged Chen Shiping, but Chen Shiping saw through it at a glance.

"Be obedient and take the medicine." Chen Shiping patted her face, turned and walked towards the kitchen.

His and Tao Huimin's voices came from the kitchen.

"What are you going to eat tonight? I'm hungry."

"We didn't cook tonight. We went out to eat. I heard that a Western restaurant opened in Xinjiekou."

"I'm not used to Western food."

"Then Miss Guan and I will go eat. You can eat noodles at home."

"."

I still have to eat, and I still have to eat it with two beauties. Even if the Western food doesn’t taste good, I still have to eat it!

Open two more bottles of wine! The kind with a high degree!

Arriving at the newly opened restaurant in Xinjiekou, Chen Shiping fell silent. This restaurant was not as good as Maxim's, it was just the standard of Yiyang fast food.

However, I have come here and I have to give it a try.

After the three of them sat down, Tao Huimin took Guan Zhilin to sit with him, while Chen Shiping could only sit across from him alone.

After ordering the food, the three of them chatted casually, and Chen Shiping also talked about what happened on the set today.

After hearing this, Guan Zhilin said with some worry: "Are Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng going to do anything?"

"No, at least they don't dare in the mainland." Chen Shiping took a sip of water and said, "As for the Xiangjiang side, no matter what tricks he uses, they won't affect me."

Guan Zhilin nodded and felt that it was indeed the case, but he was still worried that Shi Nansheng would tell what happened between him and Chen Shiping.

If someone targets this kind of gossipy thing, it will be troublesome to deal with it.

However, Chen Shiping is obviously not very worried. This kind of thing is groundless. As long as Tao Huimin doesn't make trouble, others will gossip about it below. The media will not dare to report it casually unless there is real evidence or the superiors want to deal with Chen Shiping.

It is impossible to find any real evidence, and it is impossible for the leaders to deal with Chen Shiping. Even if they hear it, the most they can do is criticize him.

Otherwise, I would really think that Chen Shiping was in vain.

However, thinking of the urinary nature of Xiangjiang filmmakers, Chen Shiping thought for a while and said to Guan Zhilin: "Looking back, if someone in Xiangjiang looks for me to film a movie, just refuse if you can, and transfer the company's money to the property market and stock market. I will If necessary, use it to invest in movies."

"The stock market and property market?" Guan Zhilin asked with some worry: "But the stock market and property market have been very volatile recently. They are both falling. Will I lose money?"

Chen Shiping recalled the fact that Japan's economic bubble burst and completely withdrew from Hong Kong. The stock and property markets in Hong Kong have indeed undergone great changes recently.

"It's better to fall. If you're worried, just speculate in real estate. It's the easiest."

Seeing how confident Chen Shiping was, Guan Zhilin wondered if he knew some news, and was the mainland planning to take any action?

But since Chen Shiping is so confident, let's just speculate in real estate. If the price of real estate falls further, it will rise sooner or later.

That is to say, there is no money, otherwise Chen Shiping would have wanted Guan Zhilin to buy land in Xiangjiang, and the land would be valuable.

Since the 1990s, Xiangjiang's real estate has developed rapidly. A large number of new projects have been launched, creating many billionaires. The real estate market has soared in the following years, almost doubling every year.

Tao Huimin couldn't understand what they were saying, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. He resigned because he wanted to help Chen Shiping, but now he couldn't help anything. He might as well be like Guan Zhilin.

Seeing Guan Zhilin chatting with Chen Shiping, Tao Huimin felt a little uncomfortable. Although they were talking about business, she could feel the difference.

Chen Shiping saw Tao Huimin's eyes and immediately smiled and said to her: "Honey, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

Hearing Chen Shiping call his wife in front of others, Tao Huimin's face turned red and she looked at him angrily.

I'm not married yet. How can I call my wife outside? People will laugh at me.

Now it was Guan Zhilin's turn to feel bad. He lowered his head and cut the steak without making a sound.

Chen Shiping looked at Tao Huimin who was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I'm going to the Venice Film Festival soon. Please help me ask who has time to go to Venice and the specific itinerary. Check what well-known media there are in Venice. You are my public relations consultant!”

Hearing Chen Shiping's words, Tao Huimin smiled and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know about public relations, but I will do a good job!"

"Haha, my wife can definitely do it!" Chen Shiping smiled and pinched Tao Huimin's face.

Guan Zhilin glanced at them and couldn't help but stretch his legs under the table to rub against Chen Shiping.

"Oops, you pinched me." Tao Huimin wrinkled her lovely nose and rolled her eyes at Chen Shiping. Chen Shiping took back his hand without changing his expression and said, "It's so cute, I couldn't help it."

Thinking of Guan Zhilin's teasing just now and his boldness in the morning, Chen Shiping looked at her and coughed lightly and said: "The third part of Once Upon a Time is about to be prepared. This is the finale, so play it well and don't play the Thirteenth Aunt." Three. Aunt."

Hearing Chen Shiping's deliberate pause, Guan Zhilin's eyes flashed with darkness, and he retracted his foot that was extended to Chen Shiping.

Tao Huimin didn't notice anything was wrong with Guan Zhilin, and excitedly discussed with Chen Shiping who from the cast of Wives and Concubines were going to Venice.

Chen Shiping thinks that everyone who can go should go. If you spend a little more money, the film can easily make back the money by winning awards.

For many actors, this may be the only opportunity to go to an international film festival, such as Zhu Lin and He Saifei.

I don’t know what Zhu Lin and He Saifei are doing now. I haven’t heard from them recently.

Thinking of the time when he was filming in Qixian County, Chen Shiping couldn't help but fall into memories, and he really missed that time.

The filming of "Group of Wives and Concubines" was much smoother than "Farewell, My Concubine". The filming was completed in Qixian County in two months. Four-fifths of "Farewell, My Concubine" are still unfilmed.

We can only wait until he comes back from Venice before filming.

That night, Guan Zhilin did not continue to follow Chen Shiping and the others, but went back to the hotel in the capital by himself.

After Chen Shiping returned home in the evening, he drank tea and said to Tao Huimin: "You are going to Venice in a while. Are you nervous?"

"I'm so nervous!" Tao Huimin said immediately: "This is my first time to participate in a national film festival! Do you think I can win an award?"

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "It's difficult. If Berlin still has hope, Venice can't."

Hearing Chen Shiping's ruthless words, Tao Huimin couldn't help but pinch him and said, "You can't lie to me!"

"It's useless to lie to you. The greater your expectations now, the more disappointed you will be." Chen Shiping said, rubbing her head.

Tao Huimin's eyes dimmed a bit as she leaned into Chen Shiping's arms and murmured: "How do you know it's useless to lie to me? Just keep lying."

"What?" Chen Shiping asked, not hearing clearly and looking down at her.

Tao Huimin raised his head and squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, I can't win the prize, but you can definitely win the prize!"

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "I hope so."

The Venice Film Festival is about to start, and Chen Shiping has also obtained the shortlist, jury list and information.

I am not 100% sure about Venice this time because there is a very strong opponent.

The Mongolian Spirit made by Soviet filmmakers, a movie that has nothing to do with the Mongolian spirit, was shot in China before.

Chen Shiping had seen this movie and was thinking about how to publicize the Venice jury so that the movie would not be disqualified. The chances of Wives winning a prize would be much smaller.

The key to winning the award is the jury. There are nine judges in total, four are screenwriters, two are actors, and the remaining three are directors and screenwriters.

Chen Shiping studied the information of these judges, understood their preferences clearly, and was sure to get four votes. The rest needed to be figured out public relations.

Public relations is not simply about building relationships, but influencing audiences, film critics, media, and juries at various levels.

There are a lot of things involved, and Chen Shiping doesn't have a good public relations plan now, he only has a vague idea in his mind.

That's the pain point onslaught of that movie that captures the Mongolian spirit! Just kill this movie and it will basically be settled.

The situation on Big Brother is very chaotic right now, and it’s estimated that not many people from the Mongolian Spirit crew will be there, let alone public relations.

Chen Shiping was still very confident. This time he went to get the gold lion, not the silver lion. The silver one was too shameless!

Chen Shiping carefully sorted out the situation in Venice that night and made a simple plan.

I went to work the next day and continued to complete my plan. After completing it, I felt that my current team was not yet complete and there were no professional public relations talents.

The boys in the distribution department are all freshly graduated college students and are still very green. Moreover, they don’t understand the public relations of foreign film festivals.

This time I still have to pick a few people to take with me, take them to experience the film trading market of international films, and cultivate them slowly.

If there are groups of wives and concubines, I will give them to practice. Chen Shiping will do it himself in Venice, but other small international film festivals can be left to them to operate.

Once the team is trained, even if I don't make a film in the future, the public relations team can be used by other directors in the factory.

Zhang Yimo has been recruited, and he will be one of his own from now on. He will be able to use it after the filming of Qiu Ju's lawsuit is finished.

Thousands of gold buys horse bones. Zhang Yimo is Chen Shiping's horse bones. In the future, more talents will have to be attracted.

The sixth generation of directors will soon be on the stage of history. We cannot waste these people, otherwise they will inevitably end up being banned!

These directors are relatively dangerous, so it's better to hold them in your hands.

But if we really dare to shoot, Tian Chongbang dares to shoot. Now he is working on Blue Kite with West Film Studio. After this movie is finished, Tian Chongbang will be banned from directing and return to Beidian to teach.

Chen Shiping is not a god and cannot control so many things. Even if He Tian Cang Cang cooperates very well, he cannot save him even if he wants to.

This guy has no fear at all.

Tao Huimin, who was assigned a task on the other side, looked at the list in his hand and hesitated for a while before calling Zhu Lin.

Although there had been so much unpleasantness before, this time it was a serious matter and she still had to be notified.

After all, the third role in the movie, what if he gets the best supporting role?

After the call was connected, Tao Huimin heard Zhu Lin's gentle laughter before she could speak.

"Sister, why did you remember to call me?" Zhu Lin seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness on the set and chatted affectionately with Tao Huimin.

Hearing Zhu Lin's voice, Tao Huimin also felt that he was a little too careless. After all, Zhu Lin had nothing to do with Chen Shiping.

Recalling Chen Shiping's usual way of greeting people, Tao Huimin adjusted his attitude and said with a smile: "Sister Zhu Lin, you are going to Venice soon. I wanted to ask if you have time to attend the film festival."

"Venice? Can I go too?" A flash of surprise flashed through Zhu Lin's heart, and then he quickly said: "Okay, I haven't participated in an international film festival yet!"

Tao Huimin smiled and talked to Zhu Lin for a few more words before hanging up the phone, feeling that the task assigned by Chen Shiping was not difficult at all.

Then she called He Saifei, Jiang Shan and others. Although she had some minor conflicts with them, Tao Huimin was now able to face them calmly.

Tao Huimin wanted to understand one thing. People like Chen Shiping would inevitably have more women pounce on him in the future. If he was angry every time, he would probably not live to be thirty-five.

Look away and let them go. What's the use of guarding against those women? If Chen Shiping sneaks in, he won't be able to guard against them.
