Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 228 The era of blockbusters has arrived!

It was after eight o'clock in the evening when the lights in the office were turned off.

As Chen Shiping walked in the long corridor, he always felt like a fool.

Why do you keep yourself so busy all day long, just for pure love and Chinese movies?

Chen Shiping couldn't help but pat his face. He must have been stupid after working overtime. What were he thinking about?

Before driving home and entering the yard, Chen Shiping asked Tao Huimin to heat up the rice.

"There's no food! Wash yourself an apple and eat it!"

Damn it, I didn’t have anything to eat when I got home!

Chen Shiping ran into the house and saw Tao Huimin holding a letter and reading it with gusto.

"What are you looking at?"

Tao Huimin said happily: "I received a reply. The editor said that my writing style is sophisticated and the content is spicy and satirical! It will be officially published tomorrow!"

Chen Shiping couldn't help but poke her head and said, "I wrote it!"

Tao Huimin raised his head and threw the magazine sent by the magazine with a groan.

"The signature is mine, what evidence do you have that it was you who wrote it!"

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?
Go find the manuscript!

"Don't look for the manuscript, don't hide it from me!" Tao Huimin looked at Chen Shiping's back and shouted.

Chen Shiping: "." How vicious! Fight her, put on the bayonet!

After a night of playing around, Chen Shiping felt like a dog from exhaustion.

I didn't eat last night and now I have no energy at all.

When eating in the morning, Tao Huimin said radiantly: "Would you like to eat another egg to replenish your health?"

Chen Shiping rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm hungry, not weak!"

Tao Huimin hummed twice, biting the bun and said, "I went out to buy breakfast this morning and ran there, and I was able to jump."

Chen Shiping: "." You were so kind last night!
After the two had breakfast noisily, they went out together.

Chen Shiping went to the factory, and Tao Huimin went to CCTV.

When sending Tao Huimin off, Chen Shiping couldn't help but ask: "Who is responsible for CCTV?"

Tao Huimin put on lipstick and said: "It's still Zheng Xiaolong, but we are still talking about it now. I don't know if there will be a replacement later."

Zheng Xiaolong.
Chen Shiping recalled his information and said to Tao Huimin: "I will ask Mei Juan to come to you later. The factory is also planning to set up a TV creation center."

Tao Huimin said excitedly: "Then will I be able to find a factory to make movies in the future? I will pay for them to make movies!"

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Okay, let's take advantage of the fact that there are few TV dramas and make one to make money."

"Yeah, then I'll go find Xiaomei in the afternoon!"

After a while, the car drove to the CCTV building. Tao Huimin kissed Chen Shiping on the face and said with a slight blush: "Come on for the premiere. I'll make a big dinner for you at home tonight!"

Chen Shiping couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time Tao Huimin took the initiative to kiss himself outside.

"Stop being silly and go to the factory quickly. I'm leaving."

Tao Huimin felt embarrassed, opened the car door and ran away.

Why are you so shy? You weren't very tough when eating in the morning!
Chen Shiping smiled and turned around and rushed to the factory.

Today is the premiere. Whether Speed ​​​​will be successful or not depends on today.

At 8:30 in the morning, Chen Shiping went to the factory to check various preparations.

A formal press conference will be held at 9:30.

As soon as the lights in the small auditorium dimmed, the big screen lit up.

The reporters were talking about it and couldn't figure out why the movie was suddenly showing.

Shouldn't the premiere be in a movie theater?

Soon the pictures on the screen made the reporters understand.

Emotions are not a movie, they are behind-the-scenes footage.

It can also be regarded as a documentary about the speed of life and death.

Everything from the preparation to filming of the film was filmed.

Beijing Film Studio has the habit of shooting behind-the-scenes documentaries.

Of course, the premise is that this is a big production or a movie by a big director.

When The Last Emperor was filming in Beijing, Beijing Film Studio hired a separate crew to shoot the documentary.

At that time, the old director was still doing the production himself.

The reporters looked at the screen as the art team built a one-to-one subway station and subway model in the studio bit by bit, and their expressions gradually became serious.

I was especially surprised when I saw the art team’s fantastic idea of ​​simulating the effect of high-speed subway driving through real-life curtains.

The people in the art team built, dismantled and built again, tried adjustments again and again, and experimented with various materials.

An explosion effect experiment will be carried out every time it is covered.

The reporters couldn't help but be moved by the rising flames and the disgraced staff.

But it's not over yet.

The sound of a car exploding soon came from the screen, and a series of fast-cut shots overwhelmed reporters.

Eight cars were blown up!
The shocking scene shows the efforts of the stunt team trying to make the car fly again and again.

High slope take-off, modified bus, crane assistance.
Various methods were used frequently, just for the last three seconds of the bus flying up.

The reporter felt moved when looking at these scenes. The three seconds that the audience saw showed how much effort the crew put in behind the scenes.

After the speeding car, there were elevator explosions, building simulation technology, and various explosion experiments.

At the end of the documentary, the crew stood together with happy smiles on their faces and shouted at the camera.

“Chinese movies are awesome!!!”

The lights in the chapel came on during the Scream.

Reporters from all over the country stood up and applauded wildly!

He also shouted that Chinese movies are awesome! ! !
Although I don’t know how the movie was shot, the behind-the-scenes documentary of Life and Death is enough to make people awe-inspiring!

This is not as simple as mobilizing a large army to cooperate, nor is it a large-scale nationwide casting process, nor is it as simple as building an outdoor location.

This allowed reporters to see the reform results of Beijing Film Studio! The prototype of the film industry!

I also see a possibility, a possibility of striving to catch up with the forefront of world movies!

Commercial blockbusters are no longer exclusive to Hollywood!
When Chinese films go international, they are no longer just dark literary films!
Reporters all know that Chen Shiping has been carrying out reforms in the past two years, first the producer system, and then splitting the Beijing Film Studio into branches.

Now they are seeing results!
The success of the reform far exceeded their imagination!

Some reporters suddenly realized something. Chen Shiping's rude behavior at the Oscars seemed to tell everyone that Chinese films are about to stand up!

Some reporters who were more emotional had their hands red and kept clapping.

Standing here watching this documentary is like witnessing history!
There were many factory employees in the auditorium, and they all had tears in their eyes at this time.

The speed of life and death was achieved through their hard work together, and they finally succeeded after long-term efforts!
Many people who didn't understand Chen Shiping originally fell silent at this time.

Chen Shiping really led them to take a different path.

The applause in the small auditorium slowly subsided, and Chen Shiping took the crew on stage.

Looking at the reporters in the audience, Chen Shiping said passionately: "China will usher in the era of blockbusters! Real blockbusters!"

The reporters who had just stopped applauding raised their hands and applauded wildly!
It’s so exciting! I feel like my blood is boiling!
In the corner of the small auditorium, Han Laosan and Jiang Wen, who had missed work to watch the fun, were also applauding.

Jiang Wen was completely convinced this time. Chen Shiping is awesome!
I am obsessed with making an art film, while other action blockbusters like this take several months to complete.

"Why is Chen Shiping so awesome!" Jiang Wen couldn't help but say.

Han Laosan nodded in agreement. He couldn't do this kind of thing anyway.

The premiere of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" was unique and made many reporters extremely excited.

During the interview, all the hands that were raised were put down.

With one hand raised, the other hand kept writing drafts of news in a notebook.

Chen Shiping and others spent more than an hour just being interviewed.

After the interview, Chen Shiping left the reporter to eat in the factory. After dinner in the afternoon, they set off together towards the Victory Cinema.

There will be a lot of fun with the audience at the premiere in the afternoon.

This time there are no big-name stars in Life and Death, but the audience's enthusiasm has not diminished.

We all saw the trailer on TV. The exciting fighting scenes are not much better than the stars!

You have to come to the cinema to watch it, otherwise you won’t be able to see the effect!

The intersection is seriously blocked again, but the traffic police have long been used to it. Over the years, they have come once or twice a year.

He is also very skilled at evacuating blocked roads.

"The one holding the child, don't walk in the middle. Just watch a movie. Why are you crossing the road!"

"Stop the car behind you. Why don't you drive to watch a movie? I don't know if there will be traffic jams today!"

"Everyone, walk slowly and don't crowd! It's still early for the movie to start!"

"Hey, that guy selling mutton skewers, why are you here to join in the fun today? The sidewalk is blocked!"

At the entrance of Shengli Cinema, the manager was filled with joy as he looked at the audiences that kept crowding into the theater.

Ever since Chen Shiping chose to premiere Once Upon a Time at the Victory Cinema in 1989, almost all movies, big and small, have chosen to premiere here over the years.

The equipment of Victory Cinema has been upgraded twice!

"Director Chen, you haven't been here for a long time."

The manager of the cinema held Chen Shiping's hand and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you this time. All the prime shows today are scheduled to be fast-paced, and the tickets for the next few days are all sold out!"

Chen Shiping smiled and said: "Thank you for your support. We are all old friends, so there is no need to be so polite."

"It should!" The manager asked with a smile: "Where is your car? It's still parked outside. I'll find someone to help you move the car."

Chen Shiping laughed dumbly, waved his hand and said, "I didn't drive here today, so there's no need to be so polite."

The manager was a little disappointed, but then he said with a smile: "Then I will go back to your home to visit. The premiere is about to start, so let's go there first."

The manager finished speaking quickly without giving Chen Shiping a chance to refuse.

Soon the largest auditorium was filled with spectators.

Victory Cinema is now very proficient at selling aisle and standing tickets.

The screening hall that originally had a seating capacity of 1,000 people was filled with nearly 2,000 people.

Chen Shiping saw many people crowded into the same seat in the stands on the second floor, holding soda drinks and snacks in their hands and discussing enthusiastically.

There are also many groups of young people wearing fashionable denim jackets hooking up with beautiful dames.

"Hey girl, I have a seat, how about you come sit on my lap!"

"Sit on two legs and one on each!"

The theater was noisy, but the overall order was pretty good.

Theater staff walked through the aisles with loudspeakers to remind everyone to pay attention to safety.

Chen Shiping looked at the audience with an unstoppable smile on his face.

These are the audiences he has cultivated and retained over the past few years.

Otherwise, the number of moviegoers this year will be cut in half again!
Chen Shiping feels that his efforts in recent years are very meaningful.

Maybe what he did in this process was not perfect, but for him, it was good enough for the mainland film market.

Soon Liu Bei, a great beauty, took the actors on stage to interact with the audience.

The audience applauded enthusiastically, as if celebrating the New Year.

After a while of commotion, the screening room became quiet and all the lights slowly turned off.

The large screen slowly lit up, and at the beginning of the picture was a familiar logo to the audience, as well as the three words Chen Shiping that appeared many times.

Finally, after the words "Chen Shiping's Work" appeared, the movie was officially played.

In the stands on the second floor, Chen Shiping was sitting there, also watching the movie seriously.

Next to him, Liu Bei was drinking soda, pulling on his clothes and fanning himself constantly. His slender neck was covered with sweat.

She was extremely nervous today. She had never been so nervous before the college entrance examination.

But now that the premiere has begun, life or death has been decided.

The dark theater was filled with explosions and screams from the audience.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the movie.

I forgot to drink the soda I bought.

When Hu Jun appeared naked in front of the camera, wolves howled and whistled one after another.

There were also many female audience members covering their eyes and staring at the screen with their big slits exposed.

When Chen Shiping dressed up and drove out in a sports car and said funny lines, the audience also laughed.

When Liu Bei came on stage and drove the bus at high speed, the male audience also screamed.

More than an hour passed quickly, and the movie came to an end. When the bus crashed into the plane and exploded, a huge scream echoed throughout the screening hall.

In the stands on the second floor, Chen Shiping had disappeared.

He no longer needs to watch the final subway battle, this movie has become it!
Chen Shiping, who was completely relaxed, was driving around the capital.

Go check out other theaters.

When the audience was shocked by the speed of life and death, the literary circle was also shocked.

The short stories in this issue of Receipt Magazine are a bit sharp!

This author named Xiaobaicai is so awesome, he dares to write this kind of thing.

Me and the puppy
Is this a scolding of those who criticized Chen Shiping before?
The author Xiao Baicai is Chen Shiping's wife, isn't she called Xiao Baicai by the audience?

Yu Hua was looking at the magazine at this time and couldn't help but turn to Hachiko who was sleeping on the ground and said: "Hachiko, Shiping is angry this time. I will take you to see him tonight."

Hachiko suddenly stood up and barked twice, as if he was asking who bullied my brother!
Yu Hua took another look at the article in the magazine and suddenly laughed.

"Well done!"

Cheng Hong came over with the fruit and asked, "What's the best way to scold?"

"You will know just by looking at this. Our old classmate finally couldn't bear it anymore this time."

Cheng Hong took it and read it quickly, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's indeed a good scolding."

"I guess many people didn't expect Shi Ping to curse this time. The last time they scolded Shi Ping, they were really brave."

"Who says it's not? Look, there will definitely be fun to watch in the next few days!"

At this time, the first scene of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" has ended. Many reporters are squatting in the cinema writing articles, and they won't leave to watch the second scene.

I can’t write a review after watching it once 1
There are a lot of details that need to be looked at again, a good report!
Chen Shiping really did a good job this time!
A reporter bit his pen and couldn't help but muttered: "Chinese movies are awesome!!"
