Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 181: Shooting the first bird (Happy New Year!)
In a secret booth in the brightly lit Regent Hotel.

Chen Shiping looked at Shi Nansheng and said: "You pick one of the directors in Xiangjiang, and one of the five investment quotas will be given to you first."

Shi Nansheng was about to speak when Chen Shiping continued to speak.

"Your husband can't do it. To be precise, he can't do it now. I'll whet their appetite first, and now I'll give you the benefits. But you decide who to choose."

Shi Nansheng didn't expect Chen Shiping to say that. It seemed that he knew exactly what he and Xu Ke were planning, and he didn't intend to care about it.

Chen Shiping looked even scarier like this, as if he was smiling at them jumping up and down but everything was in the palm of his hand.

After thinking for a while, Shi Nansheng said: "Director Chen has said so. I definitely have no objection. I will select a suitable candidate as soon as possible."

Chen Shiping nodded indifferently, and then said: "I will return to the mainland in a few days. Please pay more attention to the situation in Xiangjiang, especially in Wanwan. If you have anything, please contact me at any time."

"Ok."

After chatting with Shi Nansheng, Chen Shiping went upstairs, otherwise the mainland director would get upset again when he saw that he had given a quota.

There are a total of five investment quotas, one for Xiangjiang and four for directors from the mainland, but Chen Shiping has not given any of them now.

These five quotas are not just an investment, but also the key to Chen Shiping's implementation of the producer system.

Therefore, we had to wait until Chen Shiping returned to the mainland and agreed with the leaders of the film bureau on the pilot producer system before he could have the status to promote changes in the factory.

The producer system is not just as simple as the producer controlling investment and being responsible for the early stage of the project, and keeping an eye on the director during the filming process.

It involves the cooperation between various departments of a crew, and at the same time, a certain assembly line model must be formed.

The big producer model can promote the development of film industrialization. Hollywood already has mature routes, and Chen Shiping can learn from them in industrial development.

After Chen Shiping and the others returned to the mainland, it was already New Year's Day.

The investment quota in the association was also temporarily suppressed by him on the grounds that the Chinese New Year was coming soon. He would not have a showdown with the directors in the association until after the new year when he was ready.

If you want to get investment, you must accept Chen Shiping's producer system.

Lack of money is always a pain point in the film and television industry. As long as there is money and nominal support, many directors will join Chen Shiping half-heartedly.

Under the dim light, Chen Shiping came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

Tao Huimin, who was helping him organize his things, looked back and said, "Why don't you wear pajamas."

"Why are you wearing pajamas? You have to take them off anyway." Chen Shiping came up behind Tao Huimin with a smirk and hugged her directly and said, "Stop cleaning up and get down to business first."

Chen Shiping put his hand directly under her pajamas and squeezed her with his hot palm.

A blush suddenly appeared on Tao Huimin's face, and he said softly: "What are you doing? I haven't finished packing the things yet."

"You can deal with me first, I can't wait any longer." Chen Shiping directly picked up Tao Huimin and walked towards the bedroom.

Tao Huimin's blushing face was dripping with water. When he arrived in the bedroom, the slippers on his feet fell to the floor.

Chen Shiping took one look and was stunned. The socks Xiao Baicai was wearing today were not quite right.

He walked over and grabbed her ankles, pushed up her pajamas, and found that she was not only wearing stockings, but also long, ultra-thin stockings.

Nothing excites people more than the silk in their pants. Chen Shiping pounced on it and took off the packaging of the pak choi in three strokes.

Under the light, Tao Huimin, wearing only black stockings, looked as beautiful as if she had stepped out of a painting.

Chen Shiping looked at the two slender legs and couldn't help but caress them.

The hot palms kept caressing her, making Tao Huimin couldn't help but hum.

Chen Shiping looked at her and said, "Can you take the initiative for once?"

Tao Huimin rolled his eyes and said with a red face, "No, it's embarrassing, aren't you?"

"Well, then I'll do it." After saying that, Chen Shiping took the initiative.

Early the next morning, Chen Shiping stood on the balcony and looked at the snow-white earth outside.

New Year's Day has passed, and so has 1991.

Just like that line in Party A and Party B, 1991 has passed and I miss it very much.

Chen Shiping also misses 1991 very much, but is looking forward to 1992 even more.

This year's Lunar New Year season is not over yet, the box office of Party A and Party B is still rising, and the overall box office market in the Mainland is constantly expanding.

Everyone in the entire film and television industry was overjoyed at the end of 1991, feeling unprecedented hope and vitality.

After breakfast in the morning, Chen Shiping went to work despite the light snow. He had been in Xiangjiang for more than half a month, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him to do in the factory.

First, go to the co-production department to review next year's co-production applications, select suitable projects and approve them before submitting them to the department.

After that, I went to the distribution department to inspect the work of the distribution department in the six months since its establishment.

After finishing these tasks, Chen Shiping went down to the film bureau for a meeting to report on his work.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Chen Shiping came out of the film bureau with several approval documents in his hand.

The document formally approved by the Directors Association and the Beijing Film Studio as a pilot document for the implementation of the producer system.

The second document also contains some opinions on the establishment of a subsidiary by Beijing Film Studio.

Chen Shiping wants to separate several workshops in the factory and establish subsidiaries.

Although Beijing Film Studio has long since been transformed into a company, it is actually still a studio model and not what a company should be like at all.

Chen Shiping took these documents and returned to the factory. After several days of meetings with the factory committee, he decided to officially start implementation in 1992.

However, when these things are implemented, there will definitely be some resistance. For example, if the photofinishing and printing workshop is made into a subsidiary company, only one photofinishing and printing room will be kept in the factory.

At that time, the printing company will have to be completely responsible for its own profits and losses, and there will be trouble if there is no trouble there.

However, domestic development and printing technology lags behind that of other countries. Chen Shiping was not even willing to develop and print in the factory even Farewell My Concubine. Think about how big of a problem this is.

In addition to the developing and printing workshop, there are also art, location base and other departments that need to set up companies.

Relying solely on the factory's film projects, it would be difficult for these departments to continue to improve their technology, and it would be difficult to sustain them all relying on the factory's funding.

You must get in touch with more external projects, accumulate more experience, and earn more profits before you can develop.

Domestic film studios are different from big Hollywood studios. Domestic film studios have more restrictions and less freedom, making it difficult to develop a film industry.

Each province in the country has its own film studios. If they are too dispersed, it will lead to a lack of concentration of talents and industry.

Chen Shiping wants to completely break the restrictions of the Beijing Film Studio, compete for it, and build it on a larger scale.

However, there are still many problems, and it may not be possible to solve them all at once, and it may even be worse.

Chen Shiping also needs to take his time and do it step by step.

It has been snowing in the capital for several days in a row, and the roads were covered with snow as soon as they were swept.

Chen Shiping walked towards the outside of the factory step by step. Looking at the flying snow in the sky, he thought of the love letter.

The novel has been published for a year and has enough readers that now might be a good time to make it into a movie.

But before filming the movie, he had to do something more important. He wanted to give Tao Huimin a love letter. At the gate of the family area, before Chen Shiping could walk in, Tao Huimin ran out at full speed.

"You're finally here, hurry up or else they'll have to get off work."

Tao Huimin hurriedly pulled Chen Shiping out, as excited as a child.

Chen Shiping wrapped her in his coat, rubbed her head and said, "It's too late, we don't get off work for more than an hour."

Tao Huimin, with only one head exposed in his coat, dragged Chen Shiping forward, muttering to hurry up.

"What if? Anyway, just walk faster."

"Then it's better to drive. Why do you have to walk?"

“Let’s take one step at a time and move towards a happy future together!”

"Is that so? I thought you regretted it halfway and ran away."

"Fuck you, I don't regret it!"

On the white snow, two figures nestled together left a long string of footprints. The big footprints were surrounded by small footprints. There is me in you and you in me.

In the evening, Chen Shiping looked at Tao Huimin sitting on the bed, looking silly and happy. He couldn't help but leaned over and said, "You've been laughing all night, as if it was the first day we lived together."

Tao Huimin solemnly placed two small notebooks under their pillows and said: "That's different, we are legal now!"

"What's the matter, what difference does it make if it's legal?" Chen Shiping asked as he went to bed with a smile.

Tao Huimin smiled mysteriously and pulled the quilt to cover Chen Shiping.

He said with a smile: "Of course it's different. Today I can sleep with you openly!"

Chen Shiping, who was under the covers, was filled with questions. Shouldn't he have said this word himself?

Once co-authorship is legal, you have to take the initiative, right? Were you always wearing clothes before? !
Tao Huimin directly hooked Chen Shiping under his body with his feet.

The little feet wearing stockings stepped on Chen Shiping's chest, and the toes moved on the chest a few times before going all the way down.

Chen Shiping seemed to be under hard control and could only watch Tao Huimin do whatever he wanted to him.

Under the dim light, Tao Huimin looked like a rose in full bloom, swaying gracefully.

She propped herself up with both hands and placed her legs straight on Chen Shiping's side.

Chen Shiping glanced sideways and found that Tao Huimin's entire body was suspended in the air.

There was a very regular rhythm in her breathing, like making rice cakes during the New Year.

After a long time, the two of them were sitting on chairs with their legs on the edge of the bed, drinking tea and smiling at each other. There was heavy snow falling outside the window behind them.

The teacup in the room was steaming, and the warm yellow light shone on the two of them, making them look so peaceful, completely different from the intense passion before.

In the next few days, Chen Shiping took leave from the factory, invited his relatives and friends to have dinner together, and even moved from the family area to Mianmian Hutong.

Cannons were set off all day in Mianmian Alley that day, and it was also lively all day long.

When the warm winter sun shines into the courtyard of the courtyard, Chen Shiping has already gotten up and is sweeping the snow in the yard.

He now regrets why he bought a courtyard house. Cleaning the courtyard is really not an easy job.

The colored paper and firecracker red paper all over the floor were mixed with the frozen snow and made it difficult to sweep away.

Chen Shiping lamented and waved the broom vigorously.

Tao Huimin came out of the house and yawned in the sunshine. He looked at Chen Shiping who was sweeping the floor with a happy smile on his lips.

After stretching, I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Life is naturally different as time goes on, and we can no longer be as casual as before.

Chen Shiping's life is getting better, but his work is also getting busy.

In the past, the factory could be reached from the city gate, but now I have to drive to work. I think it’s better not to move.

But there is also an advantage to moving, that is, in the family building, you can no longer see directors who just grunt and turn around and leave.

The directors in the factory now know that Chen Shiping is going to establish a producer system, and they are all protesting!
Many directors in the director's room of the Creative Arts Center gathered together to discuss this matter.

"Chen Shiping is acting rebelliously!"

"More than ten years ago, he had to live with a cow. The producer system was the Hollywood model!"

"Don't talk about those things that are available or not. I'll just tell you that I won't make any more films unless the factory cancels this pilot project."

"Yes, I won't take pictures either!"

"Go to the factory director to protest!"

After Chen Shiping came to the factory, he saw many people whispering about something behind their backs. He didn't need to think about it to know what these people were discussing.

But he didn't care. He already knew these things in his mind. If there are difficulties, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just take your time.

If you really encounter someone who is disobedient, you can just transfer them away. So many new directors graduate every year.

The demand for directors under the producer system is really not that great, and ordinary new production directors are enough!
At this time, Teng Wenji from Xiying Film Studio was sitting in Wu Tianming's office and said somewhat helplessly: "Director, can't you take back this transfer order?"

Wu Tianming rolled his eyes at him and said, "All your files have been sent away! You are the one who is leaving, and you are the one who is coming back! Who do you think you are in the factory?"

Teng Wenji said with a grimace: "Who knows what kind of producer Beijing Film Studio will suddenly pilot."

Wu Tianming chuckled and said, "That's not good. Go and infiltrate the inside and help me see how many friends are unwilling to accept it."

"Then if I make it, can you help me transfer it back?"

"can!"

On the other side, Chen Shiping, who came to work in the factory, had not sat down to read today's newspaper when Mei Juan came over to report on his work.

"Director, I helped Wang Xiaoshuai and others sign up for several film festivals. I should be able to earn back your investment by then."

Chen Shiping hummed and asked nonchalantly: "Do they have any ideas for making a new movie now?"

"Everyone except Wang Xiaoshuai." Mei Juan took a look at Chen Shiping's expression and said, "Do you want to tell them about the investment?"

Chen Shiping raised his head and looked at Mei Juan and said, "You guys should be their producers. Practice with them first, and also publicize the concept of producers. This can give a buffer to the old comrades in the factory."

Mei Juan immediately nodded and said, "Okay! Make sure to implement the producer model in the factory!"

"Okay, then go and do your work." After Chen Shiping finished explaining, he no longer cared about the problems of the Sixth Generation.

After studying with me for so long, giving me money and teaching me skills, there is nothing wrong with being used as a spearman by me now.

Show it to the old comrades, set an example, and be the one who gets shot.

　Sorry, I originally planned to finish writing it before twelve o'clock, but it was delayed. There are too many things to do during the New Year, and I can't help myself. I will keep updating from today on. Try to resume double updates in a few days!
