Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 217 Life and death starts at the speed of time!
"What did you get on your pants?"

Tao Huimin looked at Chen Shiping's pants and said with disgust: "Be careful when eating in the future, you are still the factory director."

"I didn't even notice. I must have gotten it from the porridge I drank at noon." Chen Shiping changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to eat tonight?"

"Zhajiang noodles! Change your clothes and throw them into the washing machine for washing at night." Tao Huimin pushed Chen Shiping into the house.

Before eating, Chen Shiping also took a shower.

When Qing Qing Shuang Shuang came out, Tao Huimin had already made the fried noodles.

"How was the result of today's audition? Is Fang Bing a good match?" Tao Huimin said while sucking the noodles.

Chen Shiping's bald noodles hummed several times without answering.

Listening to the sound of Chen Shiping slurping noodles, Tao Huimin couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and asked: "You didn't choose Fang Bing, did you?"

"No, we all have big differences. Xu Feng prefers Liu Bei." Chen Shiping explained.

When Tao Huimin heard that it was Xu Feng, the investor, he frowned and stopped talking.

Although Xu Feng had a good relationship with Chen Shiping, he had very little contact with her. Tao Huimin had always been puzzled.

"Then what do you think?" Tao Huimin looked at Chen Shiping and asked.

Chen Shiping sighed helplessly:
"Vote, I can't directly refute Xu Feng's reputation. After all, Liu Bei is also suitable. The casting situation is different from Farewell My Concubine."

Tao Huimin couldn't say anything when he saw Chen Shiping like this.

The crew held meetings as usual for the next two days, and they kept arguing about the casting issue.

Chen Shiping just sat on the sidelines and did not participate in the discussion, but his heart still favored Liu Bei.

It was not because Liu Bei was hesitant in the office that day, but because he really felt that Liu Bei and Hu Jun were very suitable together.

The choice of the male protagonist, Chen Shiping likes Hu Jun, is basically settled.

Liu Bei and Hu Jun are more suitable together, and she herself also meets all requirements.

Chen Shiping is now waiting for everyone to come up with the result of the discussion, and then directly choose the actor.

As for Zheng Yang and Lin Fangbing, Chen Shiping had other uses.

After finally selecting the best one from so many actors, we can't just let it go.

It must be squeezed hard to create the value it deserves!
Liu Bei has not been in a hurry these days. He has eaten so many children like Chen Shiping, how could he not be able to choose one!
If it doesn’t work, just eat more!
After two days of continuous discussion, Chen Shiping did not participate in their discussion.

I went to Shichahai alone to watch Hu Jun and Xu Yajun train their muscles.

After going there, Chen Shiping became more and more certain about Hu Jun. With his wheat-colored skin and bulging muscles under the sun, he could capture many female viewers just by looking at him!
Xu Yajun is a little worse, but her artistic sense is still stronger.

It's a pity that he didn't have the domineering spirit of Shengtian Banzi later.

The male protagonist who lives and dies at the speed of life must be a super tough guy with strong mobility!
Xu Yajun felt a little pity.

Chen Shiping looked at Hu Jun's figure and thought about adding some scenes of him selling meat in the movie.

Hu Jun, who was working out, glanced at Chen Shiping, swallowed his saliva and turned his back silently.

What a look that is! Does he like men?

Hu Jun is a little numb. He has never heard of similar rumors. He won't like him anymore.

Chen Shiping smacked his lips, thinking that the ordinary scenes of selling meat would definitely not work.

After all, Hu Jun is also pretty, and he has also charmed many wealthy women in Xiangjiang.

We have to get some interesting shots.

The more gimmicks a commercial movie has, the better!
Hu Jun quietly looked back and felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat. Why was Chen Shiping still staring at him?

Hu Jun, who felt a little uncomfortable, put down the dumbbells, picked up his clothes and put them on.

Thin clothes give him a great sense of security!
Seeing Hu Jun put on clothes, Chen Shiping felt a little pity.

I haven't figured out how to make it so sexy that it attracts female audiences to the cinema.

Isn’t this handsome young man a good age to sell meat?

If we don’t sell our meat to female audiences now, we will have to sell it to those Tongs in the future.

We do this for his own good, otherwise the scandal will linger for a lifetime, and even if he plays so many tough guys later, it will be difficult for the audience to forget him.

Chen Shiping believes that women should be used to design erotic scenes, because only women know what women want to see.

For example, he knows how to photograph Liu Bei and make her look beautiful and sexy.

I'll go back to the women in the literature department to design it. The girls in the literature department know this best.

Throw Jun Hu to them and let them do whatever they want!

Chen Shiping called Xu Yajun over at this time and formally informed him that he had lost the election.

There is no need to waste his time any longer.

Xu Yajun left Shichahai Sports School lonely, missing such a good opportunity.

After Chen Shiping returned to the factory, he officially informed that the male protagonist was confirmed to be Hu Jun.

The crew was not surprised, and they were more partial to Hu Jun.

Although Xu Yajun is famous, his box office appeal is negligible and he is no different from a newcomer.

"Okay, now let's vote for the heroine."

Chen Shiping looked at them and said, "Write on the paper yourself and then count the votes."

Soon more than ten people had written all the notes, and Mei Juan started counting votes.

"Liu Bei, Zheng Yang, Zheng Yang, Liu Bei, Lin Fangbing, Liu Bei, Lin Fangbing"

In the final count, Liu Bei had two votes more than Lin Fangbing, so Chen Shiping didn't even have to vote.

He made a decision directly and said: "Then Liu Bei, by the way, notify Zheng Yang and Lin Fangbing to free up their schedule in April next year."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned. Is this a new movie?

You haven’t filmed this one yet, have you thought about the next one?
How many things does the factory director have in his head?

Chen Shiping didn't care about that and left directly.

The news was soon announced, and Liu Bei jumped with joy when he learned that he had been selected!
It’s not free of charge! Make a lot of money!

Lin Fangbing was disappointed, but her disappointment dissipated when she learned that Chen Shiping would be filming with him next year.

I just wonder if Chen Shiping arranged this for Tao Huimin's sake.

But there is always something to film.

Zheng Yang didn't think about it that much. He didn't worry about leaving a schedule for next year. There weren't many scenes to shoot anyway.

But after the news spread, the effect was different.

Many people are wondering, will Chen Shiping use Zheng Yao and Lin Fangbing next year?
So, can I make a movie with them first, then wait until Chen Shiping's movie is released, and then just follow their lead and take advantage of their popularity?

There are many business-minded people in the Mainland. Although they are artistic when making movies, they are still very smart when thinking about such things.

Within two days, Lin Fangbing and Zheng Kai suddenly received many invitations!
They were both dumbfounded. What was the benefit of failing the audition? !

Please do more of this kind of failure!
At Chen Shiping's home, Tao Huimin was chatting on the phone with Lin Fangbing.

Tao Huimin also comforted her about her failure, feeling that she was sorry for her good friend.

When I wanted to take a photo of Youth, Lin Fangbing came without saying a word.

The most important thing is that Lin Fangbing is not like other women who always have unwanted thoughts about Chen Shiping!
For example, the little maid Chen Hong, and the little maid Jiang Shan!
No, there’s Zhu Lin too!
These people are all superficial sisters!
When Chen Shiping went back in the evening, Tao Huimin still pulled him to ask questions. "Did you ask her to film the next movie because of my relationship with Fang Bing? You didn't tell me anything about the movie, so why didn't you ask me to act in it!"

Chen Shiping smiled bitterly and said: "It's impossible to find her, or not to find her. What do you think I should do?"

Tao Huimin snorted and said, "Then we can't each have one! There are so many scripts in the cabinet in your study."

Chen Shiping shrugged helplessly and said, "There must be time."

Tao Huimin snorted and said, "Whatever you want, I'm going to be a producer next year! CCTV has agreed to my conditions for a new year drama!"

"That's not very good. After the Chinese New Year, I will let the film and television city communicate with CCTV."

"Hold on tight, we will all be producers from now on, one movie and one TV series, a husband and wife team!"

"Haha, you say it the same way as a male and female robber."

The casting for the movie has been officially finalized and all preparations have been made.

Chen Shiping is now waiting for the first snow scene in Beijing to start filming.

The external liaison producers in the factory have communicated well with several famous scenic spots in Beijing to shoot.

Even the airport has communicated well. How can a blockbuster film not have an airplane?

In the Literature Department, a small team of several girls are racking their brains to complete Chen Shiping's task.

Hu Jun sat there in embarrassment, feeling frightened by the looks in the eyes of those girls.

Mei Juan also ran in excitedly from outside at this time.

"Have you thought about it? Have you thought about it? I have thought of a picture, it will definitely look good when shot!"

Mei Juan said excitedly: "Let him go home, dance alone at home, take off his clothes while dancing, and then get up in the morning without clothes to make breakfast!"

Hu Jun's face turned red. What these sisters said were all words of tiger and wolf!
Mei Juan directly pulled Hu Jun to stand up and said, "Do you know how to dance? Dance for us to see!"

"Here?" Hu Jun said coyly, "You don't need to take off your clothes, right?"

As soon as Hu Jun said these words, the office burst into laughter. This handsome boy is so interesting!

"Of course, otherwise how would we know if this shot works? Come on!"

"I'll close the door!"

"I'll draw the curtains!"

"I'll take pictures!"

"I'll borrow the tape and play disco!"

A carnival of beautiful men officially kicked off
Hu Junren was dumbfounded, but when he thought it was for a movie, he risked his life!

Dedicate yourself to art!
Hu Jun was still a little shy under the music.

But the girls couldn't help but applaud him and praise him.

"You dance really well, twist a little more!"

"You're great, you can dance so well."

"Your muscles are so well trained, just like the Terminator!"

Amidst the praises from her sisters, Hu Jun gradually lost herself, and her dancing movements became more and more enchanting.
Half an hour later, when Hu Jun came out of the office, he was hit by the cold wind before he realized what he was doing.

"Damn, what was I doing just now!" Hu Jun blushed with embarrassment and ran away without looking back.

In the office, Mei Juan was still unfinished and couldn't help but say:

"Hu Jun dances well and has a good figure, but the director also dances well and has a good figure. When we were in Cannes, the director went to the bar to dance and even kissed a foreign woman!"

"Have you ever seen the factory director dance?!"

"Are you bragging? How could someone as serious as the factory director dance in a bar!"

Seeing that the sisters didn't believe it, Mei Juan snorted and said, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

There is nothing that cannot be said about this kind of thing. At that time, everyone in the production department and the crew saw it.

It wasn't a secret that couldn't be told, but seeing the gossipy eyes, Mei Juan still resisted the idea of ​​sharing it.

After telling them, these perverts might be muttering something behind their backs.

"Really or not? Did you kiss me?"

"Come on, sister, I love to hear it!"

Mei Juan looked at their curious looks, shook her head and said, "I can't tell you, you guys are too nosy!"

"Sister! You can't do this!"

"Close the door. If she doesn't tell you today, she won't be allowed to leave!"

Mei Juan: "." These women are crazy!

It's no wonder that these girls are curious. They are all from the Literature Department, they like literature, and they have all read Chen Shiping's novels.

I still hid under the quilt and watched secretly. I was extremely curious about how Chen Shiping wrote that kind of plot!
Now I finally have the opportunity to understand where I can endure it!
The gossip conference in the office is still going on, and the protagonist Chen Shiping is running around the capital.

In the movie, the bus equipped with bombs must carefully plan the route it takes.

To show the scenery of the capital through this route, it must be representative and distinctive!

"Start from the bus station, go up Chang'an Avenue, take Wangfujing, Qianmen Street, and then go to Huguo Temple and Temple of Heaven."

Chen Shiping sat in the car and muttered, and Zhao Fei couldn't help but said: "It's not a smooth road. This route is too strange."

"Why do we need to take the road? I want landmarks! Like big brands in Hollywood, Times Square in New York, and the Statue of Liberty in Washington!"

Chen Shiping doesn't care what happens along the way, it's not really like taking a long bus ride to make a movie!
Zhao Fei said helplessly: "Okay, then I will go back and walk a few more times to see how to design the lens."

"Well, don't be limited in your vision. Movies are creations, so you have to be flexible!"

In the next two days, Zhao Fei sat in the bus and traveled around the capital, designing many shots.

Some people lie on the roof of the car to take pictures, and some people take pictures of the bus on the side of the road and take pictures of the buildings behind.

The shots had to be thrilling and show off the city's architecture.

Zhao Fei runs routes during the day and studies by watching Hollywood movies at night.

After a few days, I felt like I was losing a lot of hair.

Fortunately, Chen Shiping was very satisfied with the final lens design, otherwise Zhao Fei would have really gone crazy.

Two days later, in Studio No. 1 of Beijing Film Studio, filming of Life and Death was officially launched!
In the studio, the well-dressed extras in the subway station were waiting to start filming.

Chen Shiping will not shoot dirty environments and homeless people like in Hollywood movies.

What commercial films want is cultural output!

The good side must be shown, otherwise it will always show the scars in literary films.

Foreigners still think that China is in a feudal society!
Different movie types have different attributes.

Chen Shiping will not be so pretentious, cultural export must be started.

Otherwise, the red Chinese knots and Chinese and English slogans in the subway station would not be in vain!

"The speed of life and death, the first shot of the first scene!"

"Three, two, one, start!"
