Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 202: An ugly flower!

In the busy production department, documents are piled everywhere.

Script, storyboards, location scout photos, actor information.
There are messes everywhere, so you have to be careful when walking.

The busy people in the office are either on the phone or calculating production costs.

Chen Shiping was also communicating with several producers about film preparation issues at this time.

Mei Juan led Teng Wenji in at this time and shouted to Chen Shiping: "Director, Director Teng is here."

Teng Wenji was a little confused as to why he was brought here.

Chen Shiping heard Mei Juan's voice, but did not turn around and shouted directly: "Let Director Teng find a place to sit by himself."

Looking at the office where he could barely move his feet, Teng Wenji didn't know where he could find his place.

This has no place for itself.

Teng Wenji simply stood there, waiting for Chen Shiping to finish his work and go to his office to chat.

But it was too abrupt for him to stand here.

"Lao Teng, Rang Rang, don't stand here."

Teng Wenji moved his steps and gave way.

"Director Teng, please give me some space. I'm sorry that it's hard to hold something."

Teng Wenji gave way to the corner again.

After Chen Shiping finished explaining what he wanted to explain, he turned to look at Teng Wenji.

"Hey, why did Director Teng stand in the corner by himself?" As soon as Chen Shiping opened his mouth, everyone in the office turned to look at him.

Chen Shiping walked over and said, "If you don't write the script well, you don't have to stand."

"Everyone should learn from Director Teng. Look at his attitude! This is called shame!"

Teng Wenji's face was turning red at this moment, so you were forced to stand still! You are the one who is ashamed!
Who can't write the script well? That damn thing the screenwriter wrote is none of my business!

When Chen Shiping saw Teng Wenji's angry face turning red, he waved his hands and said to everyone, "Okay, just go about your business. Director Teng's face turned red from shyness."

Some people in the office couldn't help but want to laugh, but they didn't expect that Chen Shiping was not only a powerful curser, but also very powerful in his yin and yang.

Teng Wenji clutched his chest, feeling like he couldn't breathe!
Holding back his blush, he shouted: "Chen Shiping! Bullying."

Chen Shiping's face suddenly turned cold at this moment. He stared at him and asked word for word: "What did Director Teng want to say when he called my name?"

Teng Wenji opened his mouth and swallowed back the unfinished words, his face turning purple.

No one in the production department sympathized with Teng Wenji, who was the shameless old man who badmouthed the producer every day.

How can you directors have fun without a producer?

You deserve to be scolded. If you want to make movies in the future, I will have to block you!
Chen Shiping snorted and looked at Teng Wenji and said, "Director Teng, I've read your script. The production department can't pass it. You go back and rewrite it."

"The script was written by the screenwriter, not me!" After Teng Wenji said this, he felt a little relieved.

Chen Shiping reached out to Mei Juan, who immediately handed over the script sent by Teng Wen.

"That far away place." Chen Shiping clicked his tongue and continued:
"The name is good, but the plot is old-fashioned and has no connotation. It can't win awards, has no commercial value, and has no filming value at all. I heard that Director Teng has even selected the actress?"

No one in the production department knew what Teng Wenji was, and they couldn't help but sneer when they heard Chen Shiping's last sentence.

Find yourself a lover and use the money from the factory as a favor!
what! Do you think you are the director of the factory, and you will win the Palme d'Or or two as soon as you make a move?
Under the disdainful eyes of everyone, Teng Wenji felt a little lack of oxygen and almost lost his balance.

Damn it, I wish you, Chen Shiping, could arrange for your own wife to act, and not let anyone else do it, right?
Teng Wenji was in a daze when he saw Chen Shiping walking up to him and taking the script directly into his arms.

"The factory has no money to make this kind of movie, and the script is not up to standard. Director Teng should go back and revise it again!"

Teng Wenji calmed down, feeling that if he continued to stay, he would be humiliating himself. He took the script and walked out. He accidentally tripped and rushed out of the production department's office.

Outside the office, before Teng Wenji could stand firmly while holding on to the wall, he heard a burst of laughter from behind him.

Teng Wenji's hand was holding the script, and the mustache on his mouth was trembling.

"What an ugly flower!"

Another scolding sound came from an unknown person in the office. Teng Wen angrily threw down the script in his hand and turned around to leave.

Teng Wenji didn't go anywhere else and walked directly to the factory director's office on the second floor. When he arrived, he went in without knocking on the door!
Song Zhu was on the phone when he saw someone coming in without knocking. He was about to scold him when he was interrupted by Teng Wenji.

"Old Song! That boy Chen Shiping has gone too far! You must give me an explanation today!"

Song Zhu quickly covered the phone, looked at Teng Wenji angrily and said, "Shut up, you didn't see me working!"

After scolding, Song Zhu quickly said to the person on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, boss, something happened. I understand what you said. I'll ask Shi Ping to go to the bureau later."

"Ahem, okay, let's just say that." Song Zhu said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Teng Wenji was furious at this time. Seeing Song Zhu hang up the phone, he couldn't help shouting: "Old Song, do you know what Chen Shiping just talked to me!"

"Do you know how to talk to me now? You don't even knock on my office door!" Song Zhu couldn't help but curse.

Teng Wenji snorted and sat across from Song Zhu and said, "I was confused by Chen Shiping's anger."

"Okay, just tell us what's going on!" Song Zhu said bluntly.

Teng Wenji immediately explained the situation just now in an exaggerated manner, but only said that Chen Shiping had a bad attitude and was weird, and did not mention anything about his own embarrassment.

"He is a young man. I took care of him as the factory director. I didn't even say anything to him in front of so many people. He is so good. He doesn't save any face for the seniors!"

Teng Wenji said angrily: "I don't care about anything else. My movie must be passed by me, otherwise I will not be able to work in the factory in the future!"

Song Zhu didn't say anything after hearing this. I'll leave it to you. What will happen to Chen Shiping's prestige as the factory director in the future?

Song Zhen was a little upset. If he had known it, he would not have promised his wife!
Lots of trouble!
Just when Song Zhen didn't know what to say, there was a knock on the office door.

Chen Shiping came in with a document and asked with a smile: "Director, you are busy. I will only detain you for two minutes. I have something urgent to do."

"It's okay! I'm chatting with Director Teng." Song Zhuo stood up immediately and said, "It's a matter of the Jingjing Branch. This matter is more important. Let's go over there first."

Song Zhen took two steps out and then looked back at Teng Wenji and said, "I still have something to do here. I'll talk about your matter later."

After saying that, he and Chen Shiping went out together.

Teng Wenji was sitting alone in the office and smashed his desk in anger!

In the courtyard of the Beijing Film Studio, Song Zhu took a long breath while smoking a cigarette.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but nodded and said: "You can't be more tactful. Why do you make it so ugly? Just cause trouble for me. So what if I approve it? It doesn't cost much."

You didn't agree to this trouble first.

"We really can't open this hole. Just after the producer-centered system was stabilized, he came through the back door. He was the opposite before. What's his intention? Have you never thought about it?"

Chen Shiping looked at the thoughtful Song Tao and continued: "Besides, give him some slack. Other old directors will come to you. Will you let him go? What's the difference between that and before? You can use the public money as you want." , find yourself a little lover!"

"Besides, his wife knows about this! She still comes to you to have a relationship, how can she be so generous?!"

Song Zhen didn't know how to answer what Chen Shiping said. He really didn't think deeply about these things before, so he just encouraged his old colleagues' friendship.

After taking another drag on his cigarette, he changed the topic and asked, "What do you want from me?" Chen Shiping handed over a document and said, "It really is about the Jingjing Branch. Funds are really tight now."

Looking at the documents handed over to him, Song Tao twisted his head and said, "I'd better talk to Lao Teng. You can handle this matter."

"Okay, you're busy then!" Chen Shiping shouted to his back with a smile.

Song Zhen couldn't help but look back at Chen Shiping and cursed with a smile, then shook his head and went upstairs.

Chen Shiping stood in the sun and stretched. The document in his hand was blown by the wind and exposed a corner, which was all blank paper.

It’s not easy for the landscaping department to be short of money. It’s just a matter of attracting investors.

The local government will also participate in the investment, find investors to provide some money, and the bank will approve some loans, which will be an easy solution.

The signboards of Beijing Film Studio are now very valuable, and the loan is easy.

What's more, when we were in Cannes, the movies brought by the studio sold for a lot of money.

Half an hour later, Teng Wenji came out of Song Zhu's office.

He was walking to the director's room when he passed by an office and heard the gossip inside, laughing while talking.

Teng Wenqi's eyes turned red with anger. He had to make this movie, otherwise his old face would be completely lost!
As a fourth-generation director, Teng Wenji himself is quite capable. In addition, his family has a good background and he has many friends.

It's just that sometimes people are desperate and want to find someone to pay for him to pick up girls. It's not that simple.

Teng Wenji approached several people, but when they inquired about the situation, they all rejected him.

You were rejected by Beijing Film Studio, and you offended Chen Shiping. Can I get the factory logo by investing in you? !

Can it be successfully issued after getting the factory label? !
Even Chen Shiping didn't like the script. I was just a fool to invest money in it!
Teng Wenji didn't expect that Chen Shiping's influence would be so great now, and he couldn't understand why his former friends began to avoid him.

When you make your own movies, you never have to worry about making money!

Unified purchase and sales have been canceled for one year.

This matter has spread around the Beijing Film Studio. Teng Wenji has not gone to work in the factory for several days. At first, he could still find excuses to attract investment.

But so many days have passed, and the investment has not been secured. It would really be a joke if he returned to the factory!

No, now the whole circle knows about it, and I don’t know how many people are laughing at me behind my back!

Run away, you have to run away, leave Beijing Film Studio, go back to West Film Studio, or go to Shanghai Film Studio, but you can't stay in Beijing Film Studio anymore!

Teng Wenji went to Xiying Studio immediately, but he had just left Xiying Studio not long ago and it was difficult to go back now.

So he went to Shanghai Film Studio, which was willing to accept him and give him money.

But when I applied for factory transfer, I was stuck!

Chen Shiping looked at the application in his hand, clenched it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

Want to leave? Absolutely impossible!
Either you will be laid off directly, or I will sit on the bench in the factory until you die!

"Chen Shiping! I'm not done with you!" Teng Wenji was so angry at home that he threw the cup.

His son was shocked and stood nearby and whispered: "You can also make movies with the money of Shanghai Film Studio at Beijing Film Studio. It's not the same."

"You know nothing!" Teng Wenji cursed angrily.

But that’s all we can do now.

Teng Wenji sat on the sofa and dialed Shangying's phone number. After saying a few words, he was so angry that he wanted to throw the phone down.

Damn, Shanghai Film Studio also regretted it!
He also said that you can’t come because the factory doesn’t have enough funds to invest in you, otherwise the people in the factory will have objections!

Opinions be damned!

Teng Wenji's beard was raging in anger, and he wanted to drink water only to find that he had dropped the cup.

"What are you looking at? Get me a glass of water!" Teng Wenji shouted to Teng Huatao.

Teng Huatao stood up silently to pour water, and he was speechless for me.

If you suffer outside, why should you act wildly when you go home?

Chen Shiping didn't pay attention to Teng Wenji's matter at all. An ugly old man would only bother him for a few minutes at most.

Chen Shiping is currently busy watching the rough cut of Saving Mr. Cheng.

The film was shot very quickly, and the rough cut was also edited overtime.

However, Chen Shiping was not very satisfied after reading it. He turned to Cheng Long and said, "Do you think it's quite boring?"

Cheng Long glanced at Li Shaohong and saw that she had no reaction, so he nodded slightly.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "The pace is too slow, and the editor still edited according to the same old style."

Chen Shiping really ignored the editing issue.

The editors in the factory are of good quality, but they still lack some experience in editing this kind of commercial film.

Chen Shiping looked at Cheng Long and said, "Do me a favor and lend me an editor to use. It'll just happen so that the editors in the factory can learn from it."

Cheng Long smiled and said, "No problem!"

Li Shaohong never objected from the beginning to the end. The director only has the right to give suggestions and guidance in editing.

The decision-making power is still in the hands of the producer. If the producer is not satisfied, he will have to re-edit.

Li Shaohong felt a little sad that the director's rights were getting smaller and smaller.

However, this time filming to rescue Mr. Cheng really made her feel relaxed, as long as she took care of the filming.

You don’t have to worry about the troubles before and after the movie, you don’t have to worry about the preparation, and you don’t have to worry about the post-production and distribution.

After the movie is released, you will get a share of the box office, which is easier and more profitable than before.

Cheng Long couldn't help but ask at this time: "Can the next movie be made now?"

Li Shaohong also looked at Chen Shiping at this time, wondering if he still had the right to continue filming.

Chen Shiping coughed lightly and said, "Yes, the production department will communicate with you about the specific work."

Hearing the words "you", Li Shaohong immediately felt his heart in his stomach.

Let's just say, except for her, no one in the factory has successfully made a crime film.

The film shot by Li Shaohong is actually quite good, and the perspective is very delicate. In some places, it is more in-depth than the male director.

The most important thing is that Cheng Long was on hand to control the filming of Police Story, so the film will not be bad.

After these two police and gangster films are completed, Chen Shiping will also watch The Deer and the Cauldron.

Wang Jindu called to ask when he could bring the girls to the mainland.

Those who didn’t know better thought he was a groom!
