Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 170: Come to the bowl (please vote~)

In the garden downstairs of the hospital, many patients were walking in the yard, and all of them behaved strangely.

This is a psychiatric hospital, and the patients there are a little abnormal.

Under the shade of the trees in the garden, Chen Shiping was thinking about a problem. Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke beside him were silent and did not speak.

After a while, Chen Shiping turned to look at them and said, "There is no need to bring the director to the mainland, but you two do one thing for me."

"What's going on?" Shi Nansheng asked curiously, worried that Chen Shiping would make excessive demands.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "It's a very simple thing. After a while, I am planning to apply for the establishment of the Cross-Strait and Three Places Directors Exchange Conference, and by the way, the China Film Directors Association. You can take the lead and join."

Shi Nansheng: "." Are you trying to catch them all?!

Chen Shiping stretched and said, "What a simple thing. Join and I can help you get a position as vice president, so that you won't be restricted from filming in the mainland in the future."

Shi Nansheng's pupils shrank, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, but he would definitely be restricted after joining. At least the Wanwan Market would have nothing to do with him in the future.

If you just come to the mainland to make films, you don't have to worry about this problem, but joining the Directors Association that Chen Shiping mentioned is tantamount to making your stance and standing in all aspects public.

Chen Shiping was not in a hurry to rush her, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it to refresh himself.

He did not create this Directors Guild on a whim. Since it is going to be centralized among directors, it must be given some sweetness to these directors.

He has been thinking about how to do it in the past few days.

But giving sweetness is one thing, someone still needs to charge forward.

Originally, Chen Shiping planned to slowly plan and support the Sixth Generation, but now that Shi Nansheng has come up with something like this, he can take advantage of it.

After the results are achieved, Chen Shiping has almost trained a group of producers, and then the Producers Association can be established.

Originally, the Directors Association had to wait until next year to propose and formally approve its establishment in 1994, but Chen Shiping planned to get it done in advance.

If someone else does it, it can be the same as what he did.

However, the level is definitely not as high as that of the China Film Festival Association. Chen Shiping's original plan was to bring these directors together with the purpose of promoting exchanges among film directors from across the Taiwan Strait and the three places.

After half-smoking the cigarette, Chen Shiping put it out, looked at Shi Nansheng and said, "Go back and think about it. Give me the answer before National Day. I will give you the words I gave to Nortel students before. You must have a correct stance!" I can guarantee you make money, otherwise no matter how good you are, it will be useless to me."

After saying that, Chen Shiping left. Zhang Min, who had been staring at him not far away, saw him leaving and was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether to follow him or not.

Shi Nansheng noticed this scene and waved her over. He was not angry about her bad thoughts yesterday, but told her that she could try to contact Chen Shiping to leave a way out for herself.

After all, they were already hanging out with the big boss, and now I don’t know if they can continue to hang out with him after returning to Xiangjiang.

Zhang Min knew last night that his good days in the future might be gone, so he hesitated and chased after him.

But when she ran over, she only saw Chen Shiping's taillights.

Zhang Min: "." Didn't you ask me to go with you? Why did you leave first?

Chen Shiping really didn't have the time to waste time on a woman now, he just wanted to scare her.

After returning to the film studio, Chen Shiping went to the set of Farewell My Concubine to prepare for filming.

Finish the movie as soon as possible and then focus on the big things!

Chen Shiping was busy on the set until after eight o'clock in the evening. He returned to the factory to watch the film and review the crew's expenses. It was already past ten o'clock when he finished.

After I got home to eat something, I didn't go to rest immediately. I still had to write an application form.

Submit it now for approval, and it will probably take a month for a reply.

I mentioned before that I applied to Beijing Film Studio to do a pilot project, but the boss is still having a meeting to discuss it, and it will probably take less than half a month to get a reply.

Applying for this kind of thing is very troublesome.

However, Chen Shiping is going to find someone tall to help him hold it up this time. He hasn’t visited Director Xie Tieli for a while, so he’ll go visit him tomorrow night!

At this time, in the Shangri-La Hotel, Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke were sitting together to discuss what Chen Shiping said today.

"Do you want to join?" Xu Ke couldn't help but ask.

Shi Nansheng didn't think about it right now. He sighed and said, "It would be nice if I could wait until the exchange meeting before giving a reply, but Chen Shiping didn't give me that long."

Xu Ke couldn't help but said: "Go back to Xiangjiang and discuss it with the people at the director's association."

"It's useless to discuss with them." Shi Nansheng couldn't help but said: "They probably don't want to join. Being the boss in Xiangjiang is the same as being controlled by the mainland."

After Xu Ke thought for a while, he couldn't help but said: "If Chen Shiping can really give him a vice president, it's not impossible. We can also recruit more directors from Xiangjiang to join. There may be a chance to be the president in the future, maybe around 1997. "

Speaking of this, Xu Ke couldn't help but said: "And Chen Shiping is now launching a producer model, so we can also borrow chickens to lay eggs.

It is now difficult for film companies in Hong Kong to develop. With the help of Chen Shiping, many directors who have no films can be supported. If I become the vice president, I can bring them together to compete with mainland directors.

In the future, Hong Kong movies will definitely fall into a trough. If we develop in the mainland, we will be able to suppress the Hong Kong Directors Association. Chen Shiping hates those film companies with dirty backgrounds. Yindu has also developed rapidly in the past two years. In the future, maybe we can influence the Hong Kong film market. "

Shi Nansheng looked at his husband in surprise. He didn't expect that he had such a good idea. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the plan was feasible.

So the couple discussed in detail and finally decided to go to Chen Shiping to learn more about the specific situation of the Directors Association.

The early morning sunlight shone in from the window. Chen Shiping opened his eyes drowsily. When he saw Tao Huimin getting up, he pulled her into his arms, held her forehead and kissed her a few times.

I haven’t eaten cabbage for several days and I’m so hungry.

Tao Huimin put her hand against Chen Shiping's chin and said in disgust: "Your beard is so prickly."

"Now I think my beard is prickly. I used to say it looked manly."

Chen Shiping snorted, pulled the quilt to cover Tao Huimin, and then pounced on him.

After a while, a foot stretched out from under the quilt, and there was a small black panty hanging on the white and slender ankle, swinging back and forth.

After an unknown amount of time, Tao Huimin lifted the quilt and sat up, with his hands on Chen Shiping's chest and his hair disheveled.

Chen Shiping put his hands on her waist to support her, and couldn't help but said: "If we don't hurry up, the breakfast shop will be closed."

Tao Huimin blushed, pushed her hair back, held it firmly with both hands, looked into Chen Shiping's eyes, and started shaking vigorously.

Do you really think that our plump millstone is just a decoration? ! I won’t let you out today!

More than an hour later, Chen Shiping went out. Tao Huimin was lying on the bed at home, staring at the ceiling in a daze. After resting for a while, he got up, pulled off the sheets and washed them. The filming of Farewell My Concubine went very smoothly. The performance of the possessed Zhang Guorong was so smooth, and the work was finished at around 5pm.

After Chen Shiping and the crew finished work, they went directly to Xie Tieli and brought two cans of fine tea.

After arriving at Xie's home, Chen Shiping told him about his plan to hold a cross-strait and three-region film exchange meeting.

In the study room, after listening to Chen Shiping's words, Xie Tieli couldn't help but nodded and said: "This exchange meeting is good. We still need to learn more about the development of mainland films, and we can also strengthen cultural exchanges."

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "There is one more thing I want to trouble you with."

"What's the matter?" Xie Tieli asked curiously.

"Come and be the president." Chen Shiping said, pushing the Directors Association's plan over and saying, "I want to use this exchange meeting to establish a Chinese Film Directors Association, mainly to communicate cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and promote the development of films. The association will support directors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, including but not limited to raising funds, etc."

Xie Tieli frowned slightly. After taking Chen Shiping's plan and reading it, he couldn't help but said: "This is a back-up plan you prepared for yourself. Are you going to use money to keep your mouth shut?"

Chen Shiping chuckled and said, "I have this consideration, but it is also for the better development of the film. Nowadays, many directors have no funds and are unable to solve the financial problem, but I can provide them with help."

After the association is established, there must be something that can control these directors. Money is the most important thing, and it is also the right to speak.

Even if the president is Xie Tieli, as long as Chen Shiping can have money, the leadership will still be in his hands.

Seeing Chen Shiping like this, Xie Tieli was really impressed by how he had grown to this point in just a few years.

In the past, they only dared to take advantage of themselves, but now they are taking advantage of their reputation and qualifications.

In 1988, he only thought that Chen Shiping was more talented and a good person, but now it was completely different.

It's not just about being a human being, it's about wanting to do things, and it's about doing big things!

Xie Tieli looked at the plan in his hand and couldn't help but turn another page and said, "Are you going to register with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and let the Film Bureau take charge?"

"Yes, I would like to go directly to the director of the department. The key is that I am not qualified." Chen Shiping said helplessly: "There is already a Filmmakers Association, and I don't want to become a subordinate unit of the Filmmakers Association."

Xie Tieli nodded and said: "That's good, it's simpler and less restrictive."

Chen Shiping smiled and said: "I have taken these issues into consideration. I wonder if you are interested in becoming the first president?"

Xie Tieli shook the tea brewed in his hand and said, "I've drunk all the tea, so I can't agree, but if others want to know, they will definitely come and get a share of the pie."

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "It's okay. There are five vice-presidents. That's enough."

Four from the Mainland, one from Xiangjiang, and even Wanwan, no director there dared to join.

After getting rid of boss Xie Tieli, this matter will be much simpler. With Chen Shiping and Xie Tieli taking the lead, there is no need to worry about approval from above. The next thing to worry about is how to divide the four vice presidents.

There are a lot of directors in the Mainland, and there are even more senior directors, which is really difficult to deal with.

Chen Shiping had a few candidates in mind, and he would go back to the meeting above to discuss the situation.

When Chen Shiping returned home in the evening, he saw Shi Nansheng sitting and chatting with Tao Huimin in the living room. There were many gifts on the coffee table.

Seeing Chen Shiping coming back, Shi Nansheng stood up and said, "Director Chen is back. I'm sorry for disturbing you all of a sudden."

"Then why are you out here? I wanted to thank you for helping me in Xiangjiang." Tao Huimin said politely.

Shi Nansheng looked at Chen Shiping with a smile and said, "Director Chen, I came here this time because I have something I want to talk to you about. Isn't it convenient?"

"Come to the study."

In the study room, Shi Nansheng stated his purpose, first expressed his interest in joining, and then asked about specific things about the association.

Chen Shiping briefly explained to her and then asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Can you add one more spot?" Shi Nansheng couldn't help but ask.

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "No, one is the limit."

Hearing what Chen Shiping said, Shi Nansheng was not disappointed, but rather reassured. Only one would be good!

"In that case, we decided to join and hope to make more excellent movies under the leadership of Chairman Chen in the future!"

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I am not the president. There is someone else as the president. Maybe it will be my turn next time, but that will have to wait until 1997."

Shi Nansheng: "." It's over, the abacus is broken, and I am still thinking about whether I can be the chairman for one term after joining when the 1997 crisis becomes more sensitive.

But now that I have agreed, I can only go on like this. It seems that in the future, I will find a way to increase the number of directors in the association. Even if the number of vice presidents cannot be increased, the number of directors must be increased.

After the two chatted in the study for a while, Shi Nansheng left.

Chen Shiping sat in the study and thought for a while before getting up and going out.

The road to the future is long and arduous. Let’s take it step by step and lay a solid foundation so that we can go even higher in the future.

The next day, Chen Shiping went to the factory office early in the morning, selected someone from the distribution department and the co-production department, and asked them to help him run errands and submit applications, and then went to the crew.

The people in the distribution department are eloquent, and the people in the co-production department are familiar with all departments, so they can work best together.

A few days later, while Chen Shiping was filming on the set, he was told to go to a meeting the next day.

The leaders of the film bureau also had a headache. At first, Chen Shiping wanted to launch a pilot project at the Beijing Film Studio, but they had not yet figured out how to do it. Now, they have set up an association.

When the two things were combined, they knew it was Chen Shiping's combination punch.

And overall, this combination of boxing is indeed a good way, and maybe it can really lead to a different way.

The most important thing is that the purpose of the association is to unite directors from across the Taiwan Strait and the three places to promote the development of films, so that directors from Hong Kong can be used to pilot Chen Shiping.

In this case, there won't be so much resistance to decentralizing directors. If the association can really produce a few good movies, it can also use its results to suppress the objections of those directors.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Shiping said that he can provide filming funds and investment to directors who join the association.

This is the key to breaking through resistance!

The leaders of the Film Bureau felt that it was a pity for Chen Shiping to be the deputy director of Beijing Film Studio. Even if he went to China Film Studio, it would be a pity. He should come to the bureau!
