Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 222 The new deputy factory is really miserable

"Why change directors?"

Chen Shiping drank and looked at Cheng Long. He had finally trained Li Shaohong well, but he hadn't even started yet. So he was about to give up?
Cheng Long couldn't help but sigh and said: "Actually, the previous cooperation was very good, but when we went to Xiangjiang to shoot those big scenes, there would always be disagreements."

Chen Shiping frowned and said, "What are the main differences?"

"Too soft!" Cheng Long couldn't help but say: "Director Li's perspective is very delicate and realistic, but this is not my style."

"Why didn't you tell me during the filming?"

"It's best if we can communicate and resolve it, otherwise Director Li will think I'm complaining."

This is the truth, but it would be terrible if Chen Shiping didn't know it and still regarded Li Shaohong as a target of police movies.

It seems that Li Shaohong is not very suitable for purely commercial action movies, but suspense dramas are more suitable for her.

Chen Shiping put down his cup and thought about it for a while and then said: "I don't have time to shoot in the red zone. I will be promoted next year. I have a lot of work to do and less time to make movies."

Cheng Long couldn't help but said: "If we hurry up, we can finish filming in a month."

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "I am different from the directors you have worked with. I make films very slowly."

The fastest film Chen Shiping made was New Dragon Inn. It was still immature at that time, and everything was shot step by step, with few creative ideas of his own.

If he were to go back and film it again now, he would change many things in the New Dragon Gate Inn.

The office was quiet for a while, and Cheng Long thought about how to impress Chen Shiping.

He saw the big scene of the last scene of "Speed ​​of Life" with his own eyes, and when Chen Shiping checked the materials after returning, he also watched it.

The image of bombing the plane still flashes in his mind.

In Police Story, he was hanging from a helicopter, which was thrilling, but not as shocking as blowing up a plane.

He always felt that Chen Shiping was the most suitable director for him, he was bold and had unconstrained ideas!

Coupled with his courage to fight and fight, the two of them are a perfect match!
"Director Chen, if you don't want me to make the preparations, you can just go to the United States to shoot." Cheng Long couldn't help but said.

Chen Shiping smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, there aren't that many big scenes in the Hong District. Jumping off buildings and fighting is exactly the area you are familiar with."

Cheng Long had no choice but to nod.

However, Chen Shiping still suggested that Li Shaohong should be filmed. Li Shaohong's advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

The perspective is delicate and realistic.

This is exactly the style that Hongfan District needs. A story about a Chinese being bullied in the United States and finally rising up to resist. Only a director like Li Shaohong can film it better.

As for the fighting scenes, just let Cheng Long do it himself.

Chen Shiping looked at Cheng Long who was a little disappointed and said, "I won't be filming in the red zone. Next year I will have another movie to make trouble, and then together we will overturn the table in Hollywood."

Cheng Long immediately became curious, but Chen Shiping didn't tell him.

"Now that I've said it, I'm afraid you won't be interested in filming the red zone. Let's finish filming the red zone first."

Cheng Long felt tickled by Chen Shiping, but he could only suppress his curiosity.

The Lunar New Year stall is over, and the speed of life and death has also been reached.

This made Chen Shiping's end of the year very easy.

The factory is also prosperous, and each independent workshop is developing smoothly this year.

The films produced also performed well at the box office after release.

The only thing that's not going well is that I have to go to various companies for meetings.

China Film Group has a meeting, China Cooperation has a meeting, and the bureau also has a meeting.

It's not bad inside the factory, there aren't that many meetings going on.

It's Song Zhu who often walks around the factory now, looking a little reluctant to retire.

In Studio No. 1, Song Tao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scenery that had not yet been dismantled.

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Old leader, I can't bear to part with you."

"There's no point in being reluctant. When you get older, you have to step back." Song Zhu said with a smile: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give up my rights, but I've been busy all my life and I feel a little confused when I suddenly have to step down."

"Why are you confused? Just keep making movies." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "If you are short of funds, come to the factory and let us know."

Song Tao smiled and said, "Come on, I've just been free for two years."

"I bet you'll have to come to the factory for at most two months."

"Hey, you kid is so impatient." Song Zhuan puffed his beard and stared at Chen Shiping and said, "What's the matter? You want to boss me around when you become the director of the factory."

Chen Shiping laughed and said quickly: "I am not inexperienced and need your help."

"Come on, please do the handover as soon as spring starts. I've already planned to travel to Hainan."

"Then bring me a coconut."

"If you want to eat, buy it yourself!"

The old man and the young man were now completely like friends, and they left the studio chatting and laughing.

When people in the factory saw this scene, they subconsciously thought that this was the old wolf king taking the new wolf king to patrol the territory.

This year's Spring Festival is different for Chen Shiping.

After this year, I will be able to do many things with confidence and boldness.

However, the new deputy factory director was not selected from the factory, but transferred from another factory.

The person transferred was someone Chen Shiping didn't expect. The person who came was Han Laosan.

This old boy still took the road of being a deputy factory, but he would not quit. Even if he left the factory early, he would still go to China Film and Television to occupy a seat.

At Chen Shiping's house, Tao Huimin was counting the New Year's goods and New Year greetings.

"Jiannanchun, Moutai, Chinese tobacco, dendrobium, ginseng." Tao Huimin wrote down the numbers in his notebook.

There are particularities in giving New Year greetings to different people, so naturally the things you give cannot be the same.

After counting for a long time, Tao Huimin stood up and rubbed his waist. He felt that celebrating the New Year was really troublesome.

Chen Shiping happened to come out of the study to pour tea at this time, so he walked over and gave her a squeeze on the shoulder.

"You're tired. Let's take a rest and do it again."

Tao Huimin enjoyed it for a while and then said: "There are still several companies that have not been divided yet. The Song Factory will be withdrawing after the New Year. Do you want to give him more things?"

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "It's good as long as it's the same as in previous years. It's not good to have more or less at this time."

Tao Huimin nodded and said: "That's right, so as not to let him misunderstand what the purpose is. By the way, there will be no problem in Water Margin City after the spring begins, right?"

"Don't worry, we have already discussed it during the meeting at the end of the year."

Chen Shiping pulled Tao Huimin to sit down, put down the book in her hand, took her hand and said, "You can't go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year this year. Aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry? My parents said they would come here this year."

"Mom and dad are coming? Why didn't I know?"

"What are you doing? I still need to report to you."

Tao Huimin rolled her eyes at him and said, "I just called today and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Chen Shiping slumped down on the sofa and looked at the sky and the earth and said, "I must be here to give birth to a child."

"I don't care, you go and deal with it." Tao Huimin said with a smirk, "How about you tell them that you are infertile?"

Chen Shiping sat up suddenly and said, "If this news spreads, I will no longer be a human being!"

"Haha, you said it yourself, I will still show off my talents next year!"

Tao Huimin waved his little fist and looked so energetic that Chen Shiping felt a little itchy.

Say nothing more and enjoy the prelude to having a baby!
Tao Huimin exclaimed and was picked up by Chen Shiping and carried to the bedroom.

If you don’t go to work during the Chinese New Year, you have to go to bed. Isn’t life just like this? After working hard, it’s time to get on the hot bed.

This year's Spring Festival was really boring. Tao Huimin's parents urged the marriage that night when they came over.

Chen Shiping had no choice but to run out every day on the pretext that something happened at the factory.

Otherwise you will be nagged to death.

The key is that Tao Huimin, a little heartless person, pushed back and forth, saying that Chen Shiping didn't want to have children.

Chen Shiping had no choice but to pretend to work and go out to work every day.

In fact, this year's Spring Festival is really busy, the first Spring Festival period.

In the past, screening units across the country would have a holiday during the Spring Festival.

This time Chen Shiping strongly requested that Love Letter be released during the Spring Festival, so the theaters had no choice but to take a step back and open the Spring Festival season for the first time.

The Spring Festival movies are all open, so we can’t just show one movie.

Various film studios urgently released several more movies, and Chen Shiping simply released The Deer and the Cauldron.

I have kept it in my hand for more than half a year, and now that the New Year is over, I must use it.

Guan Zhilin of Xiangjiang now calls every day to inquire about the box office of movies, and then calculates his share based on the daily box office.

On the first day of release, Guan Zhilin wrote in his notebook that the premiere share would be 1.4 million.

The next day, it was divided into 2.05 million

The third day.
Everyone in Guan Zhilin is numb, making money is too easy!
What is the concept of making millions in one day?

What else is there to do business and speculate in stocks?
Which stock can make more than one million profits in one day!

Besides, the risk is still high. Just listen to Chen Shiping and buy a few mainland stocks listed in Hong Kong for fun.

What Guan Zhilin doesn't know is that the companies listed in Xiangjiang in the past few years are all top state-owned enterprises!

The future Big Mac!

Those companies are often originated from China, and you can make money by buying them.

However, in this Lunar New Year episode, what the audience is most looking forward to is the love letter. After all, they have been waiting for a whole year.

It has been more than two years since the novel was published. Many people have made friends by writing letters imitating the plot of the movie, and many have even become couples.

These readers are looking forward to the release of the movie to compare with their own experiences and reminisce about their youthful memories of writing letters and making friends.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Shiping showed up at the Geology Auditorium. Before anyone could enter, someone grabbed his arm.

Yu Feihong said with a smile: "There are a lot of people today. Do you think anyone will recognize us?"

"It's already like this, your mother can't recognize it." Chen Shiping said and pulled down the brim of Yu Feihong's hat.

Not to be outdone, Yu Feihong also pulled down Chen Shiping's hat. Fortunately, the one he was wearing was not a black woolen hat.

Otherwise, you will definitely be dragged to the security room by the ticket inspector.

Reading love letters in winter is the best choice in life, and it’s also winter in movies.

The cold can make people feel lonely involuntarily. If there were no white snow in the movie, the final effect would be at least half as good.

In the screening room, Yu Feihong held a fruit candy in her mouth and asked in a mumble, "Are you and your wife coming to watch?"

"No, she said the movie would ruin her impression of the novel." Chen Shiping didn't just say that Tao Huimin didn't want to watch her.

But Yu Feihong doesn't care. Although there were some minor conflicts last year, those are all in the past.

Wouldn't it be nice if we never interacted with each other until we died?

Is it possible that we can still be sisters?

Yu Feihong leaned on Chen Shiping's shoulder and whispered: "The movie is really beautiful, and I don't look that dark. You scolded me every day at that time."

Chen Shiping said without mercy: "Good job."

Yu Feihong put the hand in Chen Shiping's pocket and pinched him hard through his clothes.

Every time I see him I get angry to death! But I couldn’t help it!
Yu Feihong sometimes feels that she is something like that.

After more than an hour passed, the movie ended, and applause suddenly broke out in the theater.

The audiences who come to watch Love Letter are almost all college students or young literary and artistic people, and their viewing quality is very high.

Yu Feihong said with a smile: "Did you hear that? Applause, it means everyone recognizes my performance!"

"It's because I took good pictures and wrote good stories. It has nothing to do with you."

"If you don't speak, you will die!"

Yu Feihong angrily pulled Chen Shiping out, got in the car and rushed home after leaving the cinema.

I had to get this bad breath today!

An hour later, Yu Feihong lay on the bed and ran forward.

"I can't do it anymore, please let me go and take a break, okay?"

Chen Shiping grabbed her ankle and pulled her back.

Want to run?

The door is blocked for you! Block it hard!
I won’t let you call me daddy today. The character Chen will be written upside down!

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Shiping left Yu Feihong's house and returned to the factory.

Yu Feihong was wrapped in a quilt and looking at the ceiling feebly. She wiped the corner of her mouth with her finger, then put it into her mouth and licked it.

Many people in the distribution department office in the factory are working overtime.

Several movies were released during the Spring Festival, and they couldn't take a vacation, so they had to work hard with overtime wages.

Chen Shiping came in with two boxes of dim sum, put the things down and said, "The dim sum has just been baked in Daoxiang Village. Eat something and take a rest."

Mei Juan was the first to run over and shout long live the factory director, and then she couldn't wait to open the box, pinch some snacks and put it in her mouth.

Others gathered around and divided the snacks among themselves.

Chen Shiping found a table and sat down, looking through the box office data for the Spring Festival.

The box office of Love Letter is not very high. Although readers are looking forward to it, it is a literary film after all, and it is not an aesthetic love film.

On the fifth day of release, the box office was only a little over 8 million. It is expected to be weak in two days. It would be good to have a final box office of 20 to 30 million.

In comparison, The Deer and the Cauldron is better, with a box office of almost 20 million and rising steadily.

Chen Shiping is not surprised at all by this. People who celebrate Chinese New Year like to watch comedies.

Moreover, this is Zhou Xingxing's first movie to be released in the mainland. Many fans who used to watch the video went to the cinema to support it.

Most of the entire Spring Festival sales were absorbed by The Deer and the Cauldron.

Other movies have become a companion.

"Director, when will your office be cleaned up?" Mei Juan came over and asked, biting a piece of pea yellow.

Chen Shiping came back to his senses, looked at her and asked, "Why are you more anxious than me?"

Mei Juan smiled and said: "You move to the second floor, and I will follow you. Why don't you be active?"

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "We won't move for the time being. The new deputy director hasn't arrived yet. We'll wait until he arrives."

After hearing Chen Shiping's words, Mei Juan quickly swallowed the pea yellow in her mouth and asked curiously: "Director, you don't like him?"

"How could it be possible? I am a person who strives to be a good leader!"

Mei Juan pouted. She didn't believe Chen Shiping's nonsense. If he didn't have an office when he came, wouldn't it be a show of force?
The new deputy factory was really miserable. The new officer was treated like a fire when he took office.
