There will always be a lot of regrets in life.

Chen Shiping sat in the car and watched a civet cat looking around at the intersection. He couldn't help opening the car door and waving to it.

The civet cat meowed tentatively and walked over, putting its front paws on the car and looking at Chen Shiping.

"Meow~meow~"

The civet cat meowed twice, jumped into the car with a slight jump, and pawed at Chen Shiping's trousers.

Chen Shiping stretched out his hand to touch its head, and the civet cat tilted its head and nuzzled his palm.

"Be good." Chen Shiping picked it up, and the little civet flower struggled for a while and then calmed down.

The little raccoon cat has soft fur and a plump belly. It doesn't look like a stray cat.

Chen Shiping sniffed it gently and found that there was still a residual fragrance on it.

"Poor little one, are you lost or have you run away from home?" Chen Shiping asked softly, scratching its chin.

Little Lihua looked at Chen Shiping with big eyes.

"Meow~"

"Will you just follow me from now on?" Chen Shiping said, putting the little civet flower in the passenger seat and leaving with it.

After arriving at the Shangri-La Hotel, Chen Shiping was going to put the little civet flower in the car first, but it kept meowing.

Chen Shiping picked it up and put it into his coat.

"Don't talk, or I'll put you back."

Chen Shiping wrapped himself in his coat, walked through the hotel lobby, and breathed a sigh of relief when he got into the elevator.

Then I felt a little funny, how could I look like a cat thief.

It must have happened after being in contact with that guy Yu Hua for a long time.

After going upstairs, Chen Shiping came to Guan Zhilin's room and knocked on the door.

Guan Zhilin in the room immediately stood up and shouted: "Here we come!"

Guan Zhilin ran to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, put on some lipstick, pursed his lips, and then opened the door.

After the door opened, Guan Zhilin wanted to hug Chen Shiping, but he saw a beautiful little raccoon flower coming out of the collar of Chen Shiping's coat, meowing and staring at him.

Guan Zhilin: "???" You go out to play and bring your family with you?!

Zhang Min also poked his head out from behind her at this time and looked at the little Lihua who was winking and huddled in Chen Shiping's arms. His eyes suddenly lit up and he squeezed through the forest of switches to come to the little Lihua.

"Where did the kitten come from?" Zhang Min asked happily, wanting to reach out and touch it but was afraid of being caught.

Chen Shiping: "Shh, don't let anyone hear me. I brought it here secretly."

As he said this, Chen Shiping squeezed in and then put the kitten down.

The little raccoon flower landed on the soft carpet and looked back at Chen Shiping before ducking into the corner with its tail between its legs.

Chen Shiping didn't care about it. The room was so big and he couldn't run away.

Zhang Min followed the little raccoon cat with small steps. The cat's furtive look looked quite cute.

Guan Zhilin was not so excited. He pulled Chen Shiping to sit down and asked curiously: "Why did you bring a cat here and give it to me?"

"Do you like it?" Chen Shiping asked.

Guan Zhilin glanced at the little civet cat jumping on the chair and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid the kitten will shed its hair."

"Civet flowers rarely shed hair. If you don't like it, I will."

"Then give it to me!"

Zhang Min grabbed the kitten and held it in his arms and said excitedly.

"You can keep it if you like it."

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he looked at Guan Zhilin and felt a little unhappy, so he patted her hand gently and said, "I'll give you a bird later. It can talk. It will relieve your boredom."

Guan Zhilin became happy now. He couldn't favor one thing over another.

No, it was obviously given to me, I didn’t want it so I gave it to Zhang Min!

That'll be fine!

Guan Zhilin, who was in a better mood, said with a smile: "Are you very busy recently?"

"When you're making a movie, it's normal to be busy." Chen Shiping leaned on his chair and asked, "How many movies of The Deer and the Cauldron have been completed?"

Guan Zhilin said with a smile: "Well, the contract is over, Yongsheng can't do it without cutting off his flesh, but his life will be difficult in the future, and Jiahe will take the lead in suppressing him."

Chen Shiping smiled slightly and said, "Jiahe must have endured it for a long time. Yongsheng relied on Zhou Xingxing and has suppressed Cheng Long in the past few years."

Cheng Long hadn't won the box office championship for several years, and Jiahe, the eldest brother, watched Zhou Xingxing crush him all the way.

This time, several of Yong Sheng's films were all blocked by Chen Shiping, and the box office performance in 1992 had almost nothing to do with Yong Sheng.

Jiahe was naturally happy to see such a situation, and at the same time he wanted to show his goodwill to Chen Shiping.

Cheng Long's movie is released in Mainland China for the Chinese New Year.

Jiahe’s golden brand has already entered the Mainland, and I will be very happy to be able to enter the Mainland market and make money in the future.

Chen Shiping and Guan Zhilin chatted about movies for a while, then turned the topic to business.

Guan Zhilin invested in a lot of real estate in Xiangjiang and gradually became dissatisfied.

Real estate speculation is very profitable, but you don’t make as much as you imagined.

This time I came to the mainland firstly to meet Chen Shiping, and secondly because I wanted to do business with Zhang Min.

Zhang Min also sat down with the cat in his arms, looked at Chen Shiping and asked, "I want to do magazine business, do you think it's okay?"

"Literary magazine?" This was Chen Shiping's first reaction. After all, he was only familiar with literary magazines.

Zhang Min immediately shook his head and said: "Fashion, I found that there are no fashion magazines in the mainland. Readers regard magazines like Popular Film as fashion magazines."

Chen Shiping frowned slightly and said: "There is currently no market for fashion magazines. The economic conditions in the Mainland are still a bit poor. Maybe we can wait a few years."

Zhang Min was a little disappointed after hearing this. He had been thinking about it for a long time.

I didn't expect Chen Shiping to be so unfavorable.

Guan Zhilin couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll just say no."

Zhang Min rolled his eyes at her, not knowing what else to do.

Chen Shiping coughed lightly and said, "Let's do medicine."

Zhang Min: "???" Is the span so big? !

"Beauty and cosmetics products, I heard that there is a company in Shandong that is producing hyaluronic acid. You can go back and ask as an investor."

Chen Shiping didn't know much about this aspect. He only remembered how big the market for hyaluronic acid would be in the future after reading it in the newspaper.

As for the company in Shandong, which is also a state-owned enterprise and is facing corporate reform, this is a good opportunity.

Zhang Min kept it in mind and decided to go back and inquire about it.

She was quite familiar with aesthetic medicine, but if it were really medicine, she would be completely clueless.

However, Guan Zhilin was very interested. He pulled Chen Shiping and asked, "I read the newspaper yesterday. I heard that there is a health care product in the Mainland that is very powerful, with annual sales of hundreds of millions."

"Don't touch that, it's all a lie." Chen Shiping warned directly: "Even if you are in real estate, don't touch health care products."

Guan Zhilin snorted, wondering why Chen Shiping was so resistant.

But she doesn't understand real estate either. Property speculation and real estate are completely different concepts.

Chen Shiping paused and said, "If you want to feel more relaxed, just go stock trading. The stock market will be good for several years in the future. Keep an eye on several companies from the mainland that are listed on the Hong Kong stock market. If you buy them, you will definitely make money." "Okay, then I'll make a profit." Just go stock trading. "Guan Zhilin has no ambition, he just wants to make money.

She likes to see the money in her account growing, and real estate speculation can only result in one more certificate.

After the few people finished chatting, Guan Zhilin ran to open a bottle of wine.

"Let's celebrate!"

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you celebrating?"

"Celebrate that you will get rich in the future!" Guan Zhilin said with a smile, clinking the cup with him.

Chen Shiping shrugged and said, "It's you who are getting rich, it has nothing to do with me."

"Yes, yes, you have a breeze on your sleeves." Guan Zhilin agreed.

Chen Shiping raised his voice and said, "My salary is only a few hundred yuan a month, but I already have a clean sleeve and a healthy body!"

Guan Zhilin made a face, watched Chen Shiping take a sip of wine, and then said, "You just lost half a month's salary."

Chen Shiping: "."Why is bad wine so expensive?

His half month's salary is a month's salary for many ordinary workers!

One month's salary is not enough to drink a sip of wine!
Chen Shiping felt that this world was really too outrageous!
But the thought of making a movie for over 20 million feels even more outrageous.

More than 20 million in 1992!
Being able to invest so much money must be because movies make money.

Chen Shiping sometimes feels that the film industry is a very strange industry.

A person's salary can reach hundreds or tens of millions!

Just like Cheng Long, his salary was tens of millions in the late 1980s. Many factories in the mainland could not make that much money in a year.

The salary of one star and one movie can be more than that of a factory.

In the late 1980s, famous mainland actors were still worrying about whether their daily meal allowance was five yuan or three yuan.

But now because of the emergence of Chen Shiping, the salaries of mainland actors are also rising.

However, a movie can earn thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, which compared to Cheng Long's is still less than one hour's salary.

This is an era with a huge gap, and it will become more and more exaggerated in the future.

That kid Yu Hua always sees this and sees the whole world from the perspective of ordinary people.

Seeing Chen Shiping's melancholy look, Guan Zhilin felt that he had said the wrong thing and that it was a bit offensive.

She twisted her waist and sat next to Chen Shiping and said softly: "I just said it casually. I didn't mean to look down on you. Besides, my money is also your money. I just work for you."

"It's okay, I just think of a friend." Chen Shiping finished the wine in one gulp and said, "Such an expensive wine, please drink a few more glasses today!"

Zhang Min came over and said with a smile: "Then let's have another drink."

Just come, I'm afraid of you two little ladies!

A bottle of wine was consumed by three people after a few drinks, but why did they get a little drunk?

Chen Shiping felt a little dazzled.

Why is Guan Zhilin dancing? Why is his clothes getting less and less?
Why did Zhang Min pull my pants?
Why are they kneeling side by side on the bed?
"Let's take a shower together."

"Then you carry me."

"I want to hug you too."

In the bathtub, Chen Shiping lowered his head and looked at the four little feet rolling back and forth in the water. He leaned against the bathtub comfortably and closed his eyes to relax.

. . .

When Chen Shiping woke up the next day, his legs felt weak.

His whole body was completely exhausted, and when he looked at the time, it was already half past ten, but he had only slept for less than five hours.

After getting out of bed despite being sleepy, Chen Shiping felt he had stepped on something. When he looked down, he saw a pair of torn stockings.

There were several more scattered on the floor nearby.

The little civet flower rescued yesterday was sleeping soundly on Zhang Min's chest.

It wasn't until the sound of water came from the bathroom that Little Lihua shook her head and woke up, then raised her little paws and stepped on Nai continuously.

When Chen Shiping came out of the bathroom and saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh. This is really cool!

After briefly washing up, Chen Shiping quietly left the hotel.

The crew will continue filming this afternoon. We had a holiday yesterday because of the Lunar New Year holiday. How can we rest forever?

After arriving on the set, Chen Shiping regained his energy and cursed angrily with a loudspeaker on the set.

Good creators are energetic.

In the following days, good news continued to come from Police Story, and the movie's box office continued to rise.

The Xiangjiang region, which is being released simultaneously, also has good news.

Many countries in Asia began to take the initiative to call and ask when it would be released in their countries.

In more than half a month, the cumulative box office in Hong Kong and the Mainland has exceeded 100 million!
Cheng Long was extremely happy. He had finally established a foothold in the mainland market!

Cheng Long has now begun to look forward to the red series that Chen Shiping talked about.

After being busy promoting the release these days, Cheng Long finally had time to visit the crew of Life and Death.

He was very curious about what kind of action movies Chen Shiping would make.

When Cheng Long learned that the crew was filming at the airport on the outskirts of Beijing, he immediately took a car there.

Perhaps he arrived too late, or perhaps he arrived just in time. As soon as Cheng Long got off the bus, he saw a bus crash into a large passenger plane, and then a huge explosion occurred.

The huge firelight illuminated Cheng Long's face. He looked at the burning plane with his mouth open, and he was somewhat doubtful about life.

Is Chen Shiping so big in making action movies?

How much does such a big plane cost?

Just say it's going to explode?
Cheng Long watched blankly as the firetruck entered the scene and began to extinguish the fire. Water dripped on his face before he came back to his senses.

Director Chen is so tough!
Why did the red zone look for Li Shaohong to be the director?

Ask dear Director Chen to take the photo!
The red zone should blow up the goddess statue! I’ve been unhappy with it for a long time!
Cheng Long walked up to Chen Shiping and said with a smile: "Director Chen! What a big deal!"

Chen Shiping turned to look at it and said with a smile: "It's fake, a model built by the props team."

"The fake is the real thing! It's so spectacular!" Cheng Long flattered and said with a smile: "Director, I think the Red District also needs such a big scene!"

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "No need, what I want is your unique fighting style."

"Then can you be the director of this movie? I especially want to work with you once!"

"I don't have time. I have to attend the Oscars next year."

"Isn't that a good time to take a photo!"

"That's not letting Li Shaohong do it. As the director of the factory, how can I do such a thing?"

"I'll go talk to her! Women still can't shoot such exciting scenes!"

Cheng Long was very excited. Looking at the extinguishing fire, his heart became even hotter!
Hollywood, this time I bring Director Chen to conquer you!

　My cat ran away from home today, so sad. Every night it urges me to go to bed early. It will pester me to hold it to sleep, and it will sleep on my lap when I am typing.

　　I'm so used to not having it when I'm typing today. I probably won't be able to sleep.
