Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 215 Helpless Miss Shi
Toot toot.
"The phone can't be reached."

Shi Nansheng said helplessly: "I'd better go to the mainland in person."

People in the Hong Kong film industry gathered together to discuss the issue of co-productions. If co-productions were restricted, a large number of film companies would starve to death.

The local film market cannot support so many film companies.

Although the market is not small, there are too many movies. Some big productions have no income outside the country and cannot even recover their costs!

For a production with more than 5 million yuan, the box office needs to be 20 million yuan to make a little money.

But how many movies in Xiangjiang can have a box office of more than 20 million a year?

At most 20 movies have a box office of more than 20 million, which means that Hong Kong can only accommodate 20 movies with a production cost of 5 million.

But the salary of many celebrities is more than this price!
How can Xiangjiang Cinema survive like this!

Companies can't open, actors have no jobs, and the entire industry will starve to death!

Xiangjiang Films are too dependent on the external market, and if the policy changes, they will all starve to death.

Shi Nansheng rushed to Beijing immediately to find out what the future of the co-production would be.

If Xiangjiang films cannot enter the mainland market, or a very small number of places will be restricted.

At least half of the film companies in Xiangjiang will close down.

The remaining half can only survive and make small-budget movies to make ends meet.

At that time it was really over.

At this time, Chen Shiping was busy in a meeting.

The matter of co-production will not come to fruition in a short time, so scare them first.

Even if there are people in Xiangjiang who have deep connections, they can't change the outcome.

If it could be as powerful as this, in the original time and space, co-productions would not be restricted, and imported films would not be stuck at one or two a year.

After all, there are some decisions that Xiangjiang cannot influence.

The key is what the attitude is inside the mainland.

Chen Shiping does not have the ability to decide the future of co-productions. He is only trying to use his leadership to contribute to the development of mainland films, so he will be supported by the superiors.

If Chen Shiping also gives up the struggle, the future of co-productions will inevitably return to its original trajectory.

In Zhonghe Company, Mr. Li smiled and said to Chen Shiping: "Actually, this is related to a big problem.

China Co., Ltd. restricts co-productions, and China Film Group restricts introductions. It is said that it is for the development of mainland films. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to defeat Hong Kong films and force Hong Kong talents to take the initiative to develop in the mainland! "

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "I understand, so I used another way to train my team through co-production, so that we can develop together and promote the prosperity of the film market."

"Your ideas are good and very effective, but some things are not that simple."

Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Moreover, many film studios have reported that their own films cannot win box office and their co-production projects are few. All of them have gone to big studios. They have begun to boycott co-productions."

Chen Shiping understands this situation. There are many domestic film production companies, and not all of them are the same as Beijing Film Studio.

There are many people who cannot make a living, and resisting co-productions to seize the market has become their only outlet.

After all, without co-productions, a large part of the market and schedule would be freed up.

Even if the movie is boring, there will still be viewers who will go to the cinema to watch it.

Listening to Mr. Li's words, Chen Shiping smacked his lips and said, "So restrictions are inevitable, but can we control it at this point in time?"

"No, if the film market can continue to grow, it won't be stuck all at once. Let's look at this year's market."

At this point in the conversation, Mr. Li glanced at the time and said, "Let's go to the meeting. We'll talk about these things later."

Chen Shiping followed him to the meeting.

Shi Nansheng, who came to Beijing Film Studio to look for Chen Shiping, couldn't find anyone and could only wait in his office.

But Mei Juan came over quickly.

"Ms. Shi, if the factory director won't come back today, there's no point in waiting here."

Shi Nansheng stood up and asked, "Can I talk to you?"

Mei Juan immediately smiled and said, "Of course you can, I'm fine now."

Mei Juan still has tasks assigned by Chen Shiping.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come over to chat with Shi Nansheng. Why not be busy with work during this time?

Work makes me happy! The factory director gave me a bonus!
Half an hour later, Shi Nansheng left the factory and went directly to Chen Shiping's home without going to the hotel.

I can’t believe that I can’t wait until Chen Shiping comes back!
Yongsheng has now become the one who ignited the powder keg, and Chen Shiping's attitude is also very clear.

Shi Nansheng knows how to do it, but you still have to ask questions about co-production!
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Shiping sat next to Chen Hong and ate grapes and asked: "This one is too sour, please change it to something sweet."

Chen Hong peeled another grape with a sound, tasted it with the tip of his tongue before stuffing it into Chen Shiping's mouth.

"This is sweet!"

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "It's so sweet to talk nonsense."

When Chen Hong heard this, she took a sip and asked with a smile: "Is it sweeter, the grapes or my mouth?"

"It's too fast. I didn't feel it. Try it again!" Chen Shiping hugged Chen Hong and said.

Chen Hong smiled and avoided Chen Shiping's kiss. She pushed his chin with her little hand and said, "Your beard is so prickly."

Chen Shiping touched his chin and said, "I forgot to shave this morning. Please help me shave."

"Your razor is broken." Chen Hong leaned into Chen Shiping's ear and whispered: "This is the only razor you have, do you want to use it?"

"No! How can you shave me?" Chen Shiping immediately refused.

"It's okay if you wash it off! Come on, you've already shaved it for me, and I want to shave it for you too!"

"Hey, hey, I'm talking about shaving, don't even think about other things!"

The two entered the bathroom fighting.

In the courtyard of East Mianmian Hutong, Tao Huimin ate some food and said, "Nan Sheng, it's not that I won't help you. You've also seen that he won't go home now."

Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I just came to see you. Is the perfume I brought you last time good?"

"It hasn't been used yet. Shi Ping doesn't like the smell of perfume that is too strong." Tao Huimin said casually.

But I was a little unhappy that Shi Nansheng came over, which just gave Chen Shiping an excuse not to go home!
Damn man, when I come back tomorrow, I have to torture him about what postures he used and how many times he used it!
Tao Huimin was suddenly stunned for a moment and found that his tolerance level had become higher.

After eight o'clock, Shi Nansheng left. Before Chen Shiping could wait, Tao Huimin also seemed confused.

She is really confused about the situation now.

After returning to the hotel, I thought about it and called Zhang Min.

She should have gone to Chengde to film a movie.

The call was quickly connected, and Shi Nansheng immediately asked, "Have you met Chen Shiping in the capital?"

Zhang Min, who had just finished work and returned to the hotel, said feebly: "No, Wang Jin urged me too quickly. I got off the plane and came to Chengde."

Shi Nansheng frowned and asked, "Can you come to the capital? I need your help."

"What help? You said the same thing last time." Zhang Min sneered and said, "Yongsheng is unlucky, I am happier than anyone else!"

Shi Nansheng: "." The key now is not just about Yongsheng.

"Just ask Chen Shiping out for me, and I will repay you. Xu Ke is preparing for a new movie. How about giving you the heroine?"

Zhang Min said nonchalantly: "I'm sorry, Zhao Min is my last role. I'm going to do business."

After speaking, Zhang Min hung up the phone, not caring about Shi Nansheng's attitude at all. I want to do business and make a lot of money!
This time, if Chen Shiping hadn't approached her and asked her to earn some pocket money, she wouldn't have continued filming.

She is tired of this line of work!
In the hotel room, Zhang Min took off his clothes, went to the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and posed in a few narcissistic poses.

I hummed a song to wash my hands of myself. After I finished filming the leader of the Demon Cult in a few days, I went to the capital to find Chen Shiping.

When Zhang Min wanted to come to the mainland to do business, the first person he thought of was Chen Shiping.

It's easy to do things if you have talent, but it's hard to move even if you don't have people!

Zhang Min believes that if Chen Shiping helps him, he will definitely make a fortune in business!

The night passed without incident.

When the sky was dark, Chen Shiping stood in the yard brushing his teeth, spitting the foamy water under the roots of the tree, and then turned back.

He did the same thing when he was at home, breathing fresh air and watering the trees!

However, Chen Shiping remembered reading an article saying that the air in the morning was not as good as in the evening.

Chen Shiping didn't go to the factory after breakfast. Today he was going to the stunt team to watch stunts.

The bus is flying, and they have mastered the skills to successfully fly several meters high.

The bus must fly high to be thrilling and the visual effects will be shocking.

On the long runway of a training ground on the outskirts of Beijing, a bus was speeding.

Chen Shiping looked at the speeding bus from a distance and asked with some worry: "Can the driver's safety be guaranteed?"

"Okay, safety measures have been taken."

Chen Shiping nodded and continued watching. Soon the bus came to the big slope and took off without any pause.

Chen Shiping narrowed his eyes subconsciously and couldn't help but nod as he watched the car flying high and falling heavily.

The effect is very good, but it is a bit monotonous.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but said: "I want the effect of sparks flying by adding gunpowder or iron wire to the bottom of the car. Later, I will call the people from the recording workshop to collect the sound in advance."

The director of the stunt workshop said with a smile: "The good ones are all simple. Director, do you think this effect is okay?"

"Quite good! Better-looking than those in Hollywood!" Chen Shiping said with a smile.

"Of course, Hollywood is just willing to spend money. It can't compete with us if we really try our best."

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Sometimes what others can do with money, we have already lost if we try our best, but we will definitely be better than them in the future!"

Chen Shiping breathed a sigh of relief as the special effects problem was solved. One of the biggest difficulties in the movie was solved.

The art team is still experimenting with the effect of the subway exploding in the tunnel.

However, this difficulty is not that great and can be overcome quickly.

The most important thing now is the selection of actors and actresses.

Many actors are not in the capital, and Chen Shiping is still waiting for them to come over.

After the audition, you can participate in training and prepare to start filming.

Chen Shiping took a walk outside and went to Zhonghe for a meeting.

There are small meetings almost every day. Chen Shiping sometimes attends and sometimes participates in speaking.

Three days passed, and Shi Nansheng, who had not waited for Chen Shiping, now understood the specific situation.

The co-production has not yet been finalized, and there is still a chance for it to change.

They just needed someone to speak for them, and that person used to be Chen Shiping.

Now Chen Shiping has given up his career!

Shi Nansheng had no choice but to go to Tao Huimin with gifts.

After pushing and shoving for a long time, Shi Nansheng left the gift and left.

Tao Huimin studied the gift from Shi Nansheng and took out his mobile phone to call Chen Shiping.

"She really came to give a gift, and the box didn't contain money."

"What is that?" Chen Shiping asked curiously.

Tao Huimin glanced at it and said: "A key, it belongs to the capital. I heard that the property seems to be invested by Xiangjiang Investors."

"I understand. Just put the keys away. Don't go to the house. Wait until I get back. By the way, just tell her to talk to me on the phone later."

Chen Shiping hung up the phone and was not in a hurry to meet Shi Nansheng.

The main reason is that the issues discussed in the meeting have not been concluded yet, and Chen Shiping has also been thinking about how to do a co-production these days.

Shi Nansheng on the other side breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a call from Tao Huimin.

Tao Huimin only said that Chen Shiping knew about it and did not let her take the things back, which showed that Chen Shiping was still willing to speak for them.

It's just that Shi Nansheng feels a little aggrieved. It's obviously you who are bullying others, but we still have to give gifts!

Isn’t it a shame?
These political people are all evil! He also said that Yongsheng’s problem is big, and your problem, Chen Shiping’s, is also not small!
Two days later, Shi Nansheng finally received a call from Chen Shiping.

However, the call was short, and Chen Shiping just told her in a hurry that the co-production could be stabilized for the time being, but the specific situation would have to wait until the end of the year.

Shi Nansheng also explained the situation on Yongsheng's side, saying that Yongsheng only wanted to recover the cost, and he did not need to do without the subsequent profits from the film.

Chen Shiping didn't answer, and just asked Shi Nansheng to talk to the film investors. It had nothing to do with him.

Apart from Yongsheng and Beijing Film Studio, isn't the other investor Guan Zhilin?

Who doesn’t know what Guan Zhilin does?

Shi Nansheng felt that Chen Shiping was too cautious and was unwilling to say anything more on the phone.

I don’t know what will happen to the houses given away.

Chen Shiping would naturally not live in that house, only a fool would!

Just leave it to Guan Zhilin and let her do whatever she wants.

Chen Shiping ignored Yongsheng's affairs for the time being. The Deer and the Cauldron 1 and 2, as well as the movies of Su Qier and the leader of the Demon Cult, asked Yongsheng to be transferred to Guan Zhilin.

As for how much money to charge, it depends on whether Guan Zhilin has a big appetite.

Chen Shiping really has no time to focus on a company that has been severely damaged and may collapse at any time.

Even if Yongsheng recovers all the costs this time, it has no one to work with, and there is no chance of co-production in the mainland. It will be difficult to sustain itself by relying solely on Hong Kong.

What's more, it has caused so many colleagues to suffer unreasonable disasters.

It doesn’t matter who you are targeting! Who is going to cooperate with you?

However, we can try to develop towards Wanwan. If Chen Shiping throws it away, Wanwan might pick it up.

Of course, it could also be kicked away. They don’t want you anymore, so come and find me, right?
Think of us as trash cans!

Chen Shiping threw the paper he used to wipe his nose into the trash can and coughed somewhat uncomfortably.

I played with Chen Hong in the bathroom for too long last night and got a little cold.

"Okay, let's ask the auditioners to come in. The first one is Liu Bei, right? Let her come in."

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, people outside called Liu Bei in.

Liu Bei, with her short wavy hair permed, walked in with her head held high and her chest high, standing in the court looking very confident.

Chen Shiping's eyes lit up slightly, she's beautiful, she looks so moisturized!
