Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 238 Director Chen’s Status
The aroma of tea leaves floats in the spacious and bright office.

Chen Shiping turned the cup in his hand and said with a smile:

"Xiao Cheng. No, I should call you Director Cheng now. The old man has already quit."

Cheng Kaige clenched and unclenched his palms slightly, and said with a normal expression: "Director Chen can be called whatever he wants."

Looking at Cheng Kaige, who was quite self-indulgent, Chen Shiping sighed with disdain in his heart.

If you really have this ability, don't let me come to me!

What a way to paralyze yourself!

Chen Shiping didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore and said directly:

"Fengyue's distribution factory will help you do it. You can shoot and shout in the drizzle with peace of mind. First, go to the production department to get the shooting plan."

Cheng Kaige responded and left.

After leaving the office, his face became a little frustrated and ugly.

Chen Shiping had just called himself Director Xiao Cheng, he must have meant half of it on purpose!

He humiliated me!

He actually called me Xiaocheng!

Cheng Kaige wanted to get angry, but he had to maintain his demeanor as a poet.

When Cheng Kaige came to the production department and got the shooting plan, he couldn't help but get angry.

"The shots are ready? What else does the director have to do? Let the cameraman shoot directly!"

"You can go talk to the director about the storyboards he made." Mei Juan forced out a smile and turned around and left.

Cheng Kaige stood there expressionless, his cheeks about to explode.

People in the production department looked at him as if they hadn't seen him.

Cheng Kaige, who was ignored, snorted and turned around.

After he left, Mei Juan said disdainfully: "You really have the temper to go to the factory director to get angry."

"Sister Juan, aren't you making things difficult for our Director Cheng?"

"Haha, Director Cheng used to walk sideways in the factory. His nostrils turned upward when he saw everyone. He had quarrels with the security department countless times."

"His time has long passed."

After a few jokes in the production department, they continued to be busy.

In the evening, as soon as Chen Shiping got off work, he was blocked by Yu Hua.

"Didn't you say you were filming? Why did you change it to Cheng Kaige?"

Chen Shiping smiled and put his arm around Yu Hua's shoulders and said:

"He doesn't know how to tell stories, but the things he shoots are beautiful, and Xiaoyu is avant-garde. He is definitely qualified."

"Really?"

"Of course, I wrote the script and did the storyboards. Don't worry! Go have a drink!"

Chen Shiping, whose wife is not at home, is about to let himself go.

I never go home after get off work at night. I either go to Chen Hong's place or to Yu Feihong's cabin.

The only drawback is that Yu Feihong lives too far away, and sometimes he is too lazy to go there.

After dining out with Yu Hua in the evening, Chen Shiping went to Chen Hong's place.

Chen Hong was packing her clothes when she saw Chen Shiping coming in and couldn't help but complain:

"If you don't come back to eat, you won't say a word. I've already prepared the food."

Chen Shiping took off his coat and threw it on the bed and said, "I met Yu Hua and let's have a drink together. What are you packing for?"

"Participate in the Golden Rooster Awards." Chen Hong glanced at him and said, "I told you the day before yesterday."

Chen Shiping then remembered that the Golden Rooster Awards was about to begin.

There are very few film festivals in China, and the Golden Rooster Awards is only the second time.

But this is already the highest award in the mainland.

Chen Hong pulled Chen Shiping and said, "Do you think I can win the prize?"

"With a big show?" Chen Shiping thought about it and said, "It's a bit difficult. Qiu Ju also participated in the review during the lawsuit."

"Ang, Gong Li is better than me!" Chen Hong said unconvinced: "Why can't I win the award?"

Chen Shiping didn't even know where Chen Hong's mysterious confidence came from.

"You didn't go to see Qiu Ju's lawsuit, did you? You'll find out later when you buy a video and take it back."

Chen Shiping didn't want to hit her directly, there were some gaps that he had to see clearly.

Chen Hong jumped on Chen Shiping and said with a smile:

"But I have one thing that Gong Li doesn't have! This is my biggest advantage!"

Chen Shiping asked curiously: "What advantage?"

Chen Hong tilted his head slightly and looked at Chen Shiping and said, "You, can you help me win the Golden Rooster Award?"

Snapped!
Chen Hong covered her butt in pain, wrinkled her nose and said, "Why did you hit me?"

"You still want me to let you through the back door!"

"It's not like you haven't been there before! Why don't you do it tonight?"

"want!"

Two days later, the second Golden Rooster Awards ceremony began.

The awards ceremony was pretty good, and they also imitated foreign film festivals and created a red carpet.

Almost all the actors who could be named came to participate.

When Hu Jun and Liu Bei appeared together, the fans cheered.

Not to mention how popular these two people are now.

Many actors are jealous with envy.

Who wouldn’t envy someone who immediately became a household star after a movie and became the most popular actor in the country?

Chen Hong is also very envious. Her drama last year was very popular, and Su Qier, which was released this year, was also very popular.

It’s just that the two movies together are not as popular as the other movie.

Chen Hong now really regrets not pestering Chen Shiping to let her star in Speed.

If she had acted in the original role, she would be the most popular now!

"If you don't come to me in the next movie, I won't give you a back door." Chen Hong whispered in Chen Shiping's ear.

Chen Shiping: "." How can you threaten people with such things!

"Okay, you go and enter." Chen Shiping changed the subject and said.

Chen Hong really wants to enter the venue with Chen Shiping. In this case, she will definitely become the most watched female star tonight!

It's just that Chen Shiping didn't have to walk on the red carpet at all, he could have just entered the venue at the end.

Chen Hong was not happy, but she still put on a smile and went to her red carpet moment.

The red carpet session was coming to an end soon, and Chen Shiping was sitting in the reception room waiting for the awards ceremony to begin.

Anyone who comes in will take the initiative to come to Chen Shiping and say hello.

When Ge You came in, he quickly walked two steps to Chen Shiping and said with a smile, "I wonder why I didn't see you on the red carpet."

Chen Shiping smiled, shook hands with him, and whispered, "You are the best actor tonight."

Ge You's round eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "You have announced the answer in advance."

At this time Zhang Yimo and Gong Li also came in.

Zhang Yimo's face was full of exhaustion, as if he hadn't slept well.

I'm probably busy with the later stages of staying alive.

When Zhang Yimo came over, Ge You smiled and shouted: "Director Zhang, you are busy editing the film."

Zhang Yimo nodded, and then shouted to Chen Shiping: "Factory Director."

"Director Chen."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere among the three grown men, Gong Li smiled and joked: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, but you still owe me a movie queen."

Chen Shiping couldn't help but smile and said, "I promise to pay you back."

Soon, many people came one after another, and those who were familiar with Chen Shiping would stay and chat with him for a few words.

If you’re unfamiliar or don’t know me, just come over and say hello and then leave.

There are not many actors around Chen Shiping, most of them are film studio leaders or big directors.

Hu Jun and Liu Bei could only watch from the side. The two of them are now popular, but that doesn't mean they have reached the top of the circle.

Fame and strength are not the same thing.

Chen Hong came over on his own initiative, said hello to Chen Shiping first, then stood beside him and refused to leave.

Chen Shiping turned his head and said a few words, then continued chatting with others.

Because Chen Shiping took the initiative to talk to Chen Hong, this was enough for her to stay here and listen.

"Director Chen, when will your new movie be released? I'm looking forward to it now."

Director Zhang of Shanghai Film Studio said with a smile.

The people around him were silent. Who didn't know that Shanghai Film Studio had also shot an action blockbuster and was currently in post-production.

You must be trying to compete!
Chen Shiping didn't care much about these things. It would be great if Shanghai Film Studio could be better than him.

If he has always been the most powerful director in the country, it only means that he has failed!

Failed as a leader!
The awards ceremony will begin soon, and Chen Shiping will take the stage as the opening speaker.

The host introduced a lot of things, including the director, producer, director, vice president of the Directors Guild, how many awards he had won, etc.

In order to increase the gold content of the Golden Rooster Award.

Chen Shiping didn't say anything big when he came on stage, but just encouraged young directors and actors to work hard.

Let’s talk about the future of Chinese films.

After he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

Chen Shiping originally wanted to shout that Chinese movies are awesome, but he couldn't say it in this situation.

Nothing is more inspiring than that!
The award ceremony started soon. Since it was the second time, there were very few awards.

The Golden Rooster Award is still lurching forward.

Xia Gang won the best director for "Big Sabbath".

Ge You won the best actor for "The Big Sabbath".

Gong Li won the best actress for "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit".

The best feature film is Qiu Ju’s Lawsuit, and the other best editing and cinematography awards are almost the same.

Chen Shiping didn't have any films to participate in the selection. He was just a spectator who made a speech at the opening ceremony and came on stage to present an award.

On the stage, Chen Shiping handed the Golden Rooster trophy to Gong Li and said with a smile: "Your Best Actress gave it to you!"

Gong Li couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly: "You are cheating."

"How can this be a lie? Originally I was pretending to be the best movie, but I came here specially to give you the award."

After Chen Shiping made a joke, he left the stage.

After the award ceremony, Chen Shiping went home.

If you don't go to Chen Hong's place tonight, she will definitely talk about it to death.

The key point is that she still whispers coquettishly, wanting to hear it but not wanting to.

It's not annoying enough.

After Chen Shiping had a good sleep at home, he rarely got up early the next day and drove to the entrance of Nortel to have breakfast alone.

Since moving to East Mianmian Hutong, Chen Shiping has almost never had breakfast here.

Miss the wontons here.

Chen Shiping sat on the roadside, blowing on the hot air, putting the wontons into his mouth, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

It still smells the same!
"Director Chen?!!"

The two little girls looked at Chen Shiping in surprise and sat down directly with their bowls in hand.

Chen Shiping wiped his mouth and looked at them and said, "It's the weekend today. Are there still classes at Nortel?"

"No class, the factory asked us to try on makeup today." Jia Jingwen said with a smile.

Liu Ling also nodded beside her, with a slightly introverted personality.

"Director, why don't you be the director of this movie?"

"I particularly like your movie, I watched it three times!"

"I also want to become a super star like Liu Bei!"

Chen Shiping listened silently. After taking another bite of wontons, he lost his appetite.

"You guys eat slowly, I'm leaving first."

The mood is gone, and the wontons have become ordinary roadside stalls.

But I am still very hungry!
Jia Jingwen looked at Chen Shiping's leaving figure and said nervously: "Did I talk too much?"

Liu Ling nodded, shook her head and said, "No."

When Chen Shiping came to the factory, he saw Mei Juan carrying a bag of buns and immediately occupied her!
Mei Juan looked at Chen Shiping angrily.

Chen Shiping took one bun at a time and said, "What are you looking at? I've never seen workplace bullying before!"

So angry! Mei Juan snorted and left.

After Chen Shiping happily ate the steamed buns in the office, he went to the screening room.

I worked overtime this weekend just to watch the movie.

Several movies have been made in the factory, and Chen Shiping, as the director of the factory, must watch them.

Jiang Wen's Sunshine, Zhang Yimo's Alive, Cheng Kaige's Romance, Lou Ye's Girl in Danger, Xia Gang's No One Applauds
There were a lot of movies, so Chen Shiping concentrated on watching them in one day.

Usually I don’t have so much time to watch every movie.

In the screening room, Chen Shiping was already sitting and waiting.

After a while, Jiang Wen and Yangguang's producers came in.

Chen Shiping turned to look at them and said, "Sit down, let's just play the movie."

"Okay." The projectionist said and started playing the movie.

Two hours later, the lights came on in the screening room.

After Chen Shiping thought for a while, he turned to Jiang Wen and said, "The filming was good. Let it be released in May next year. You can apply for the film festival first."

Jiang Wen and the producer walked out of the screening room and laughed happily.

A good schedule has been arranged!
The May 1st gear is a very good schedule now, the speed of life and death is in the May 1st gear!

Jiang Wen left, and the next person entered again.

Zhang Yimo and Gong Li entered and sat down. Chen Shiping was surprised to see them sitting a little far away.

Why are they quarreling again? Every time Chen Shiping sees them, they get into trouble.

I don’t know what this love story is about.

Chen Shiping didn't care about their love and started showing movies directly.

When I see some interesting shots, I will chat with Zhang Yimo.

After reading it alive, Chen Shiping found some differences with the original version, but the differences were not major.

"It's a little difficult to pass the trial. You haven't sent it to trial yet, right?" Chen Shiping turned to look at Zhang Yimo and asked.

"We just finished the post-production process and haven't sent it over yet."

Zhang Yimo paused and said, "I just want to trouble you for help this time."

There are so many things that have happened in ten years in life, and the camera shows them without any concealment.

It’s almost impossible to think about going to trial.

In fact, many viewers are surprised that novels can be published, but why movies cannot.

In fact, this is a very simple truth. Movies target a wider range of people and there is no threshold for reading novels.

At this time, Chen Shiping was also thinking about how to survive the trial, but after thinking for a while, he felt that it was still impossible.

He had no choice but to say to Zhang Yimo: "Send it directly to film festivals and overseas distribution. The bureau will definitely not be able to pass it, but I will help you solve the problem of sending it to film festivals in violation of regulations."

Zhang Yimo was helpless, why could Farewell My Concubine be released?

Is the gap between people so big? !
The review should be flexible when it needs to be flexible, it all depends on who the other party is, right?
Chen Shiping is indeed very powerful, but I, Zhang Yimo, am not bad either!
Gong Li still couldn't help but said: "Director, please think of a way."

Chen Shiping sighed and said, "Put the film here. I'll take the time to go to the bureau the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you so much!" Gong Li said happily.

But Zhang Yimo's face didn't look very good.

Yesterday during the Golden Rooster Awards, I thought about Chen Shiping and Gong Li's flirtation.

It's not possible to ask him for help today. Gong Li will give it a try as soon as he speaks, right?

　I owe you a chapter first. I need to wake up in the morning to make up for it. Today I drank a large bucket of milk in one breath. My stomach couldn’t bear it anymore and I couldn’t help but collapse.
