Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 227: Stealing food under the table
Under the lush trees, Han Laosan looked at Jiang Wen meaningfully.

Jiang Wen had sharpened his face recently and looked at Ning Jing, who was lying on her bicycle in the distance chatting with Huang Haibo, without any shame.

Tsk, it's so big and round. It's a pity that boy Chen Shiping ruined his good deeds.

Han Laosan also followed his line of sight and couldn't help but said, "How could you secretly take photos?"

"How can doing art be called candid photography? This is the most natural state of capturing actors!"

Jiang Wen argued eloquently and couldn't help but say: "Don't you think she is very sexy in her natural state? That kind of casual and lazy feeling cannot be acted out!"

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Han Laosan didn't care about it. It was normal for a man to be lustful.

Jiang Wen turned to look at Han Laosan and said, "Director Han, will you be the producer from now on? Are you, the deputy director, overqualified?"

"Who told you to spend money indiscriminately?" Han Laosan said with a smile: "Director Chen specifically asked me to watch you, and you didn't listen to what others said."

Jiang Wen twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and sighed silently: "I just want to make a good movie, and it's not illegal or disciplined, and I have a producer to watch over me."

Han Laosan said disapprovingly: "When you take money from the factory, you have to think about the factory. The money given to you by the factory is enough to make several movies. If you can't make them, it means you are not suitable to be a director." "

Jiang Wen stood up helplessly and asked, "How much funding do we have?"

Han Laosan took out the account book of the Sunshine crew from his bag and said: "There are less than three million left. According to your current daily usage of film, it is enough for you to shoot for twenty-eight days and complete three-quarters of the film." Movie."

Jiang Wen: "."Have I spent five million? No feeling.

Han Laosan closed the account book and said: "Now I want to see the material you have finished shooting, which will determine my subsequent plans."

"Let's watch it tonight. The weather is nice today and I want to take more pictures."

"No problem, I don't care how much film you use today. I'll decide what to do next after reading the material tonight."

After Han Laosan said this, he wanted to leave, but when he passed by Ning Jing, he couldn't help but walked over to say hello.

It's sexy indeed.

Ning Jing glanced at him, nodded, and continued talking to Huang Haibo.

This kid Huang Haibo is as big as a brat, and his words are quite funny.

Han Laosan walked away dejectedly, and Jiang Wen looked at his back and couldn't help laughing.

I can’t even figure it out, what else are you thinking about!
"Ning Jing is here to start filming!" Jiang Wen shouted from a distance.

Ning Jing responded, pinched Huang Haibo's face and went to take the photo.

In the evening, Han Laosan stayed up all night to read the material Jiang Wen had shot before, and this was just a part of what he had picked out.

If you read all the material, you can probably watch it tomorrow afternoon.

Although the material is messy, Han Laosan thinks it is a good movie.

Jiang Wen looked at Han Laosan, whose eyes were bloodshot, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Not bad, but your scrap rate is too high."

Han Laosan took a sip of tea to refresh himself, looked at Jiang Wen and said seriously: "You must control it, I will shoot you up to twenty times for one shot."

Jiang Wen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Han Laosan would give him such great support.

However, I am very worried about whether the crew's funds can sustain it.

"You don't have to worry about the funding. I'll figure it out. All you have to do is get the best shot within twenty takes of each shot!"

Han Laosan patted Jiang Wen on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job. I'll go back and catch up on my sleep first."

In the director's office of Beijing Film Studio, Mei Juan asked curiously while helping Chen Shiping organize the bookshelves: "Director, why don't you let me stare at the Sunshine crew?"

Chen Shiping looked up at her and said, "Han Laosan is not idle. Let him be busy. You can go back and recruit some of the best people from the distribution department."

Mei Juan put down the book in her hand, ran over and asked curiously: "What are you doing with your energy?"

"Look at this." Chen Shiping said, pushing the document in his hand over.

Mei Juan picked it up curiously, took a look at it, and asked strangely: "What does this mean?"

The document is last year's TV drama ratings statistics and the annual production and sales of TV sets across the country.

Chen Shiping took a sip of tea and said, "I'm going to set up a TV creation center."

Mei Juan didn't understand, why should we set up a TV drama creation center properly?

You can’t even make a movie, so why do you want to make a TV series?

Chen Shiping sighed and said: "It is difficult for several departments to develop independently just by relying on movies, and TV series are better for output."

Mei Juan understood that the White Snake legend was so popular last year that it triggered tourism in Hangzhou.

The most important thing is that if the film and television city wants to develop and grow, it must have enough crews.

With more crews, art, props, stunts and other departments can develop.

The production capacity of movies is limited, and the return on investment is slow. From the perspective of economic benefits, TV series are the most suitable.

Mei Juan and Chen Shiping chatted for a few words and then went out.

The best people were removed, a team was formed to formulate a plan, and the filming of Water Margin was coordinated with CCTV.

Let’s practice with Water Margin first!

CCTV couldn't help but launch Water Margin as soon as Three Kingdoms was finished filming.

There's not that much money.

Mei Juan was busy with work at the TV Creation Center, Han Laosan was watching the sun, and Chen Shiping had time to work on his life and death.

As for the impact of the Oscar, Chen Shiping has long forgotten it.

The short stories I wrote have not yet been published. The harvest efficiency is too slow, probably because there are too many manuscripts.

Chen Shiping was actually a little puzzled. Logically speaking, his manuscript should be published soon.

When I got home in the evening and talked about it with Tao Huimin, she smiled and said: "I copied the novel, I sent the letter, and the name is naturally mine."

Chen Shiping was slightly startled and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's not necessary, they can do anything to me."

Tao Huimin said with a smile: "You have to pay attention to the impact. After all, you are the director of the factory now. You can't be too aggressive. You have to learn to be calm."

"Honey, you are so kind, I decided to reward you tonight!"

"You should reward yourself! I don't want it!"

"The old couple is out of town now, let's go, let's go, spring night is too short!"

After a while, Tao Huimin couldn't help but angrily pinched Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping looked up at her and asked, "Why are you pinching me?"

Tao Huimin snorted and said: "The stockings are pilling, don't touch them!"

Hiss~ Chen Shiping obediently tore open his stockings and got straight to the point!
Early the next morning, Chen Shiping yawned and went out to work. He had to catch up on his sleep in the office before arriving at the factory.

In the family courtyard of Beijing Film Studio, Director Xiao Cheng took the old man out for a walk.

There was a hundred reluctances in my heart, and I always felt like the people in the courtyard were pointing fingers at me. He was so arrogant at Beijing Film Studio before, but now he is so uncomfortable.

Mr. Cheng also knew how he felt, so he asked, "Have you read any novels recently that are suitable?"

"There is one, but it's still being serialized and I haven't finished it yet." Cheng Kaige paused and said, "I think this novel is more exciting than Chen Shiping's!"

Mr. Cheng didn't answer and asked instead: "Director Chen asked you to film Farewell My Concubine, but you were unwilling. Do you regret it now?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Cheng Kaige's face, but he still said: "I don't regret it, I don't like Farewell My Concubine."

"Then pick what you like." Mr. Cheng sighed: "Jiang Wen has also made a movie recently. I heard that the film was very good, maybe it is another Zhang Yimo."

Cheng Kaige remained silent. He personally didn't think Jiang Wen could be a good director, but he believed in Chen Shiping's vision.

If Jiang Wen had no talent, Chen Shiping would definitely not have chosen him.

I just felt a little comfortable, and the new directors in the factory came forward one by one.

He, who was the first to get out, fell silent.

Even Li Shaohong has made action blockbusters like Police Story.

When he was winning awards as a director, Li Shaohong was still the assistant director and had no right to make the film.

Cheng Kaige, who was full of unwillingness, pushed the old man back again.

A few days later, Cheng Kaige finished reading his favorite novel.

I immediately decided to take a photo of it!

But this time if he wants to work on the script, he must write a script that is ten times more powerful than Chen Shiping!

This time I want to avenge my shame!
Soon Cheng Kaige contacted Ye Zhaoyan in Nanjing and bought his novel Flower Shadow.

Then Cheng Kaige started looking for a screenwriter for himself.

Chen Shiping didn't know about these things. He only knew that Cheng Kaige had returned to China, but he never came to the factory to report it.

If Mr. Cheng took the initiative to ask him to take care of Cheng Kaige, Chen Shiping would definitely take care of him.

At this time, Chen Shiping was taking the life-and-death speed movies to the bureau for review.

After the film was approved by the bureau, Chen Shiping went to China Film to discuss distribution matters.

It was released on May Day, and China Film Group specially cleared the May Day slot to make way for Speed ​​of Life and Death.

At the same time, we will also contact foreign distributors we have cooperated with for simultaneous release.

However, the initial target is Asia, and Europe and the United States are not considered for the time being.

It can be released simultaneously in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and other regions.

Chen Shiping took the people from the distribution department to discuss with China Film for a few days, set a specific distribution plan, and then started the specific work.

Hu Jun and Liu Bei must participate in the publicity work throughout the process and must cooperate fully.

Their first stop was to fly to Xiangjiang and began to participate in some TVB and ATV programs to promote.

The entertainment industry in Xiangjiang still gives Chen Shiping a thumbs up. Although Hu Jun and Liu Bei are not famous in Xiangjiang, they have many programs that they should appear on.

No one was left behind in interviews with Hong Kong media.

At the same time, the second part of The Deer and the Cauldron and The Demon Cult Leader are also getting ready for release.

The domestic film market must also be warmed up first to create a feeling for the audience that there are many good films this year, and the sense of expectation must be sufficient.

The propaganda methods used by Life and Death Speed ​​this time are different from those in the past.

It also appeared in a big TV commercial, and the one-minute trailer really blew me away!

Can't see the effect on black and white TV? Then go to the cinema!

After all, there is a huge difference between movies and TV. TV series focus on telling the story clearly, while movies focus on telling the story wonderfully.

Whether it is from the script or the pictures, the movie is much more exciting than the TV series.

This is especially true for blockbusters like Life and Death.

Many viewers felt it was too much to watch the explosive car chase on the small TV screen!
Watching this movie on TV doesn't make you feel at all. So many explosions and thrilling scenes are all in black and white, so why watch it!
Must go to the cinema to see it!

The operation of showing trailers on television is arranged in many places.

I have seen the finished film of Speed ​​of Life and Death, and I think it is a good movie.

The most important thing is that there are many shots of Beijing in the movie, which are very international and modern.

It is a good promotional business card and must be fully supported!
The overwhelming publicity is even more lively than the Lunar New Year stalls.

Soon the time came to the day before May Day.

The premiere is tomorrow, and the preparations for the premiere are not over yet.

Liu Bei had already rushed back to the mainland, while Hu Jun was left to sell meat in Xiangjiang by Chen Shiping.

There are many maids in Xiangjiang, and they are willing to spend money.

Let Hu Jun seduce the mistresses!
Hu Jun's model is really popular in Hong Kong. Rich women love the little wolfdog with eight-pack abs and full of sexual tension.

Liu Bei was very nervous now and kept muttering in the office of the distribution department.

She was afraid that after the movie was released, someone would say her performance was not good.

The scale of the release of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is too large, as if it represents mainland movies going abroad.

This kind of pressure was really great, and Liu Bei felt that he had to relieve his nervousness.

Liu Bei left the distribution department and walked towards the factory director's office.

The last time I was in the deputy factory director's office, I didn't expect that this time I would be directly in the factory director's office.

Liu Bei knocked on the door, put his little head in and looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Director, do you have time? I'm too nervous and I want to find some relief from you."

Chen Shiping was looking down at tomorrow's premiere schedule and the film schedule in various regions.

Hearing Liu Bei's voice, he said directly without thinking much: "If you have any questions, I'll make a long story short. I'm quite busy now."

Liu Bei walked in with an ooh and carefully closed the door, then walked up to Chen Shiping and took a look at the documents he was reading.

It’s the premiere again, so the pressure is really great!
More than ten minutes later, Liu Bei tidied his hair, carefully opened the office door and took a look outside before going out.

Chen Shiping leaned on his chair and closed the documents on the table, preparing for tomorrow's premiere.

It must be a hit! This is a very critical movie. If it fails, we will have to wait a few more years for such an opportunity.

If a movie fails, the audience will lose confidence, and the result of failure is to have to start over.

Chen Shiping will not allow himself to fail. He has never failed in so many years!
It will be released simultaneously in Asia. If the box office on the first day does not exceed 15 million, it will be a failure!

The miracle of Asian movies, starting from the speed of life and death!
　The coding is too slow now, so it takes some time to find the feel, but the two chapters are still delivered as promised!
