Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 236 Business and Art!
In the studio of Beijing Film Studio.

A one-to-one model of a fighter jet is shaking under a huge blower.

Cheng Long sat in the plane and yelled crazily at the green screen.

The machine guns on the fighter planes spit out tongues of fire.

Zhao Fei stood in front of the plane with the camera on his shoulder and couldn't understand why Chen Shiping had to have a frontal angle.

Obviously a side shot is more appropriate.

Chen Shiping was currently making requests in a low voice to the people in the technical research room.

"When doing special effects on this shot in the later stage, the bullets and bullet marks should be visible in slow motion. It only takes two seconds."

The people in the technical research office took notes and wrote them down. No matter whether it was difficult or not, they agreed first and then talked about it.

If you say it is difficult now, you will be criticized immediately, so you should respond first and then talk about it.

Chen Shiping's idea is simple.

2D can also use 3D ideas. There are scenes similar to archery in martial arts movies.

Why not use it in gunfight movies?

It’s just that no one has thought of bullet time yet.

The flames of the rapidly shooting bullets and the broken glass fragments should give the audience a small shock.

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he turned his attention to shooting.

Shooting green screen scenes is not difficult, but it is very troublesome. You have to constantly adjust the lens and angle over and over again.

A shot may take dozens or hundreds of shots.

Li Xiaoran felt like his waist was about to break and he had been hung up all day.

I have jumped out of a plane more than 20 times and been caught on a plane riding a rocker more than 30 times.

She felt like she couldn't resist anymore.

Dancing is not so tiring.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Shiping called it a day to call it a day.

Li Xiaoran rubbed his waist and walked over to Chen Shiping and said, "Director, do I still have to shoot tomorrow?"

"Injured?" Chen Shiping asked with concern.

Li Xiaoran said with a sad face: "I'm not injured, I feel like my waist is broken."

"Where's the kid's waist? Just go back and take a nap and you'll be fine." Chen Shiping gave Li Xiaoran a headache and turned around and left.

How can you become famous if you don’t endure hardship at a young age?

If you don’t become famous, you’re waiting to be occupied by Heisehui in the future!
Li Xiaoran rubbed his forehead and opened his teeth and claws at Chen Shiping's back, trying to scratch him to death.

Life is so hard.

Is this considered child labor?
Chen Shiping returned home at night and saw Xiao Baicai lying on the sofa reading a script.

He walked over, took a look and asked, "What script?"

"People from the capital live in New York." Tao Huimin put down the script and said, "This is the next TV series I want to invest in!"

Chen Shiping was a little surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't the filming of this drama have already started?
Is there something wrong with my memory?
Tao Huimin sat up and said happily: "This script is so well written. If CCTV hadn't invested in Water Margin to film Water Margin, Zheng Xiaolong would have already received the investment!"

"That's it, then you've earned it." Chen Shiping said with a smile, "Have you ever visited Water Margin City?"

"I've gone, it's all a construction site, I'll be back after a day."

Tao Huimin handed Chen Shiping an apple and said: "CCTV is still discussing who will lead this project. There is a fierce dispute."

It would be strange not to fight!
Chen Shiping didn't care about CCTV's affairs. Anyway, the factory must participate in the Water Margin project.

The TV drama creation center also needs project training.

The Water Margin led by CCTV is not the best choice.

Tao Huimin hugged Chen Shiping's arm and said, "If I go to New York to film a movie, will you let me go?"

Chen Shiping: "???" Don't want the child?

Seeing Chen Shiping staring at his belly, Tao Huimin said disappointedly: "I'm on my period today."

"Work hard in seven days!"

"Then don't get on my legs, it's a waste every time!"

"."

Chen Shiping spent seven days quietly, and the green screen scenes were almost finished filming.

In front of the long green screen in the studio, Liang Jiahui hung on the missile and couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.

He grabbed the missile model and shouted below: "Brothers, hold on tight, don't let go!"

The person from the stunt team made an OK gesture and shouted: "Don't worry! I guarantee you will soar into the sky!"

Liang Jiahui: "." Actually, I prefer to be down-to-earth.

But no one gave him a chance!

When Chen Shiping shouted start, Cheng Long in the cockpit of the aircraft pressed the launch button.

The people in the prop team also activated the missile props simultaneously.

The missile flew out with a puff of smoke, and Liang Jiahui was so frightened that he screamed.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but nod in affirmation, he is indeed the best actor!
Real feelings!

Liang Jiahui flew in the air, and finally hit a pile of sponge cushions, lying there groaning and not wanting to move.

It was so damn exciting, I really did a flying trapeze!

Chen Shiping always felt pity when looking at the pictures on the monitor.

When Liang Jiahui flew out, he should have added a line.

"Happy, I will definitely come back!"

I'll go back and find a children's film studio to make animated films.

Animation IP is the way to go!
“It’s finished!!”

"Woohoo! Chinese movies are awesome!"

“Chinese stunts are awesome!”

“The art is awesome!”

Zhao Fei jumped up and shouted: "Photography is awesome!"

Chen Shiping couldn't help but laugh. Everyone was holding it back too hard during this period.

Filming was extremely difficult, and everyone on the crew was tense.

However, after filming is over, there is still some way to go before the film is completed.

In the end, it was even more difficult to achieve realistic effects for these scenes in front of the green screen.

Chen Shiping packed up all the materials and went to the photofinishing and printing factory for printing.

For a movie of this level, the material must be backed up at least ten times!

Otherwise it’s not safe!

If the film is destroyed, tens of millions will be wasted.

No one can bear this responsibility!
The crew has finished filming and there must be a celebration tonight.

Chen Shiping treated guests to dinner in a restaurant in Taipingzhuang in a very grand manner.

I don’t dare to go to high-end ones, and so many people will spend a lot of money, and the crew still needs to pay for the post-production.

It is even less likely that Chen Shiping would invite the crew to Shangri-La for dinner, as it would have a bad impact.

After dinner in the evening, Chen Shiping hurried home in a hurry.

Having a child is the top priority!
These seven days have suffocated him to death!

Mainly because I am busy shooting, otherwise I would go to Chen Hong.

"I'm back to water the cabbage!"

"Come on, come on! I'm wearing stockings!"

"Then I'm going to do it on my legs!"

"No!"

Chen Shiping rubbed his waist and went out the next day.

indulgence! How indulgent!
You must never indulge yourself like this again!
After eating breakfast at the entrance of the alley, Chen Shiping felt alive.

After arriving at the factory, Chen Shiping went to the Film Technology Research Laboratory for a meeting to discuss special effects production.

After a busy morning, I finalized the final plan.

The technical research office will go to Peking University to work with them on the post-production process. Chen Shiping only needs to check the results periodically.

After returning to her office, Mei Juan ran over, followed by Li Xiaoran.

"Director, she wants to be transferred to the factory." Mei Juan pushed Li Xiaoran forward and said.

Chen Shiping frowned and said, "This is not easy to handle."

Originally, Chen Shiping also considered this issue, but the Oriental Dance Company recruited Li Xiaoran from Beijing Dance Theater this year.

If I were transferred to the factory, the dance troupe would have objections.

This is not easy to do.

Li Xiaoran looked at Chen Shiping pitifully and said, "Why?"

"They recruited a single person like you, do you think they will let you go?" Chen Shiping said helplessly: "Go back and communicate with your group leader first."

Li Xiaoran said dejectedly: "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."

Chen Shiping nodded and winked at Mei Juan, then let them out.

After leaving the office, Mei Juan whispered bad ideas.

"Why don't you just resign and stop working? After you resign, come to the factory and I will recruit you myself!"

Li Xiaoran sighed and said with some worry: "What if it doesn't work, then I won't have a job."

"Believe me, apart from the director, I am the biggest in this factory!" Mei Juan boasted and said without drafting.

The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.

Mei Juan really has quite a lot of power and status in the factory.

Li Xiaoran hesitated and grabbed Mei Juan's hand and said, "Sister, you can't lie to me!"

Seeing that Li Xiaoran agreed, Mei Juan showed a victorious smile and completed another task assigned by the factory director!
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person!" Mei Juan said, rubbing her little head.

Chen Shiping was in the office at this time, reading the latest work report in the factory.

Feedback has been received on the release status of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" outside of Southeast Asia.

Within a few months, it was released in various countries one after another and achieved good box office results.

It grossed a total of $36 million at the overseas box office.

Not as much as in several Southeast Asian countries and regions.

Chinese-language movies still have an audience base in Southeast Asia, but the situation in Europe and the United States is relatively poor.

But this is only temporary and will gradually improve in the future!
True Lies will take at least $45 million at the European and American box office!

Chen Shiping likes this time very much. Hollywood's blockbuster mode has not officially started yet!

There are currently no super-large productions in Hollywood that cost more than $100 million to produce.

The big ships haven't started filming either, and the mega-productions that have taken Hollywood by storm around the world won't happen for a few more years.

These few years are the best time for Chen Shiping to catch up and dominate the Southeast Asian market.

Some people say that film is the most important art.

But Chen Shiping doesn’t see it that way. Even if it’s a painting, there will still be comics and comics.

A single transaction cannot be defined by one standard.

There is no art in true lies, they are all business!

An industry can develop better only through commercialization.

Relying on art can only be a small group of people amusing themselves.

Han Laosan was lying at home at this time. The factory gave him a holiday after returning from abroad.

However, Han Laosan did not feel tired, but was very excited!

This time doing distribution and promotion in so many countries in Europe and the United States, he learned a lot and made many connections.

Although Colombia is taking the lead this time, and they are playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, it does not prevent them from learning from others!

Leveraging the connections in Colombia to develop your own is key.

Otherwise, when releasing a movie, there is no need to send him out as the deputy director.

How can you kill a chicken with a knife?
"The third one!"

At this time, Jiang Wen came to Han Laosan's house with a wine bottle and a bunch of food, and said excitedly: "The editing of the film is finished, do you want to go and see it?"

Han Laosan sat up, nodded to his wife, and then said to Jiang Wen: "You are well-informed. You knew it as soon as I came back."

"Hey, who doesn't know that the distribution team of Beijing Film Studio is creating miracles overseas!"

Jiang Wen put down the Erguotou in his hand and said, "Would you like to see the finished film?"

Han Lao San smiled and said: "Let's go then! But don't call me Lao San, call me the factory director!"

"Why are you so pretentious after going abroad?"

Jiang Wen said and took Han Laosan out.

Three hours later, Jiang Wen looked at Han Laosan with some anxiety, wondering what he thought of the movie.

Han Laosan praised without hesitation: "It's very good! It's better than I imagined! This is the second best movie I've seen this year!"

"Is it so awesome?! Haha." Jiang Wen laughed a few times and then asked: "Then who is number one?"

"The speed of life and death, the box office of 81 million US dollars, can you do it?!"

"Uh, this is art!"

"Then you come back with a prize and we'll talk about it!"

Jiang Wen frowned and said somewhat unconfidently: "Can I still participate in the film festival?"

"Why not!" Han Laosan thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of the Berlin Film Festival?"

Jiang Wen thought for a moment and said, "Hello Berlin! Chen Shiping hasn't even won the Golden Bear!"

Han Laosan couldn't help but laugh. These directors all regarded Chen Shiping as their target.

Zhang Yimo is still going to Cannes after filming.

He has won grand prizes in Berlin and Venice, and he is only one short of Cannes to surpass Chen Shiping!

As for Oscar, no one is too embarrassed to mention it now.

Chen Shiping even ignored Oscar. If they were still targets, he would always feel that he was a head lower than Chen Shiping.

At least Chen Shiping still takes Cannes and Venice seriously.

Cheng Kaige. Forget it, he hasn't won a grand prize yet, and he's still far from surpassing Chen Shiping.

At this time in Tongli, Suzhou, Cheng Kaige's hair was so anxious that his hair turned white.

What's going on with this girl Xu Qing!

Such bad acting!

Fortunately, he also invited Zhang Guorong to be the male lead!

He also invited He Saifei over.

"Xu Qing, can you stop smiling so childishly! Fengqing! Do you understand Fengqing?!"

Xu Qing rubbed her round little face. Even though she looked cute, there was nothing she could do about it.

How about you wait for me for a few years?

Alas, Cheng Kaige is numb.

If I had known earlier, I would have invited Gong Li to play the role.

But Gong Li was busy taking pictures at the time, so he couldn't invite her even if he went there.

Du Kefen walked up to Cheng Kaige and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, take your time, let's dance and relax."

Cheng Kaige sighed and stood up and danced with Du Kefen to the music.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing couldn't help but trembled and ran away.

Pooh!
No wonder you are not as good as Chen Shiping!

Xu Qing regretted taking this drama. She was disliked and scolded by Cheng Kaige every day.

Aren’t you talking about a poet director? Why are you so impetuous now!

The 208th day of missing Director Chen!

Xu Qing calculated the time and found that the filming would be completed in half a month. Then she must go to the factory to find the director to ask for a role!

Liu Bei can play the leading role in blockbusters, why can't she?
Chen Shiping still owes himself a female lead!

I have to ask for the account! I’ve owed it for several years!

If you dare not give it, bite him to death!
