Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 243: Premiere Box Office Breaks Record
In the busy office, there is constant noise.

The office door was suddenly pushed open, but no one in the office noticed.

Chen Shiping stood at the door and coughed lightly.

Only a few people at the door noticed him and subconsciously shouted: "Hello, factory director."

Saying hello, director, made the whole office fall silent.

This was the first time Chen Shiping came here after the incident in the distribution department.

Xiao Li walked over nervously and shouted: "Director."

Chen Shiping didn't give him a good look, so damn stupid!

"How is the real lie announcement going?" Chen Shiping asked.

Xiao Li immediately said: "It went very smoothly. The theater chain has already reached an agreement and the film schedule will exceed 50%. The response from various locations is also very good!"

Chen Shiping nodded and asked, "How's the discussion going at CCTV? Why didn't I see the advertisement when I got home yesterday?"

"I'll go there today!" Xiao Li quickly replied.

Chen Shiping was not corrected for remembering the wrong date.

"Don't make mistakes, use your brain when doing things! If problems happen again, you, the deputy director, should stop doing it."

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he left.

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. It was impossible for Chen Shiping to remember the wrong date. This was just to knock him.

It's really hard.

It's all Han Laosan's fault! Nothing to check!

How dare you, a deputy factory, do such a thing!

Xiao Li was still a little worried after thinking about it, so he called CCTV again.

"Director Zhang, please make sure there are no problems with the advertisements behind the news."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Xiao Li explained a few more words before hanging up the phone.

I decided not to go anywhere after get off work and just watched the TV to make sure there was no problem with the commercials.

True Lies has invested tens of millions. If there is a problem with publicity, Xiao Li will really be doomed.

In the evening, Chen Shiping drove home.

Eat sweet and sour pork ribs tonight!
If Chen Shiping eats one person, half of them will be wiped out.

Tao's mother said with a smile: "If you like it, I will make it for you tomorrow."

"That's enough, I'm satisfied." Chen Shiping said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"Then let me steam a fish for you tomorrow. What kind of fish do you like?"

"The bass is fine, but the spines are few."

When Tao Huimin saw that Chen Shiping had finished eating, he wiped his mouth and said, "Mom, I still have some work to do, so I'm going to the study first."

"Okay, go and do your work."

Tao Huimin got up and went to the study, and secretly waved to Chen Shiping.

Tao Huimin trotted to the study, and Tao's mother kept telling her to slow down.

It’s almost four months, so be careful.

Chen Shiping also wiped his mouth and said, "Mom, I'm full too."

"You go ahead and get busy too."

Chen Shiping ran into the study and locked the door.

Tao Huimin has already laid out the couch in the study.

Seeing Chen Shiping acting like a thief, I couldn't help but laugh.

After adjusting his position on the recliner, he whispered: "Are you okay now?"

"Didn't you go to the hospital to ask questions today?"

Chen Shiping thought it was funny. You asked for it, but now you are worried.

Tao Huimin thought so. It's almost four months now.

That’s for sure!
He waved to Chen Shiping and said, "Come here, slow down."

"Why are you in the study?" Chen Shiping couldn't help but said, "You can't go back to the bedroom at night."

Tao Huimin shook the recliner and said, "No need to move like this."

Chen Shiping silently raised his hand to praise, then leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

After a while, the rocking chair in the study began to rock.

Huanghuali's rocking chair made no sound at all when it rocked.

Tao Huimin closed her eyes and bit her lip, not daring to make a sound.

The blushing cheeks are full of spring.

The next morning, Chen Shiping also found a dollar when he went out.

Is he really lucky?

Hope they will all have good luck in the future.

After Chen Shiping arrived at the factory, Xiao Li took the initiative to come over and report on his work.

"Director, did you read yesterday's advertisement? The effect was not bad."

Chen Shiping hummed, but actually didn't look at it at all.

Seeing that Chen Shiping was in a good mood, Xiao Li felt relieved.

It seems safe!

It was already the end of April. Cheng Long and the crew traveled around several countries in Southeast Asia and were about to return.

The premiere is around the corner, and audiences across the country are waiting for it.

People in the industry are also waiting to see how much box office revenue Chen Shiping can achieve this time.

Chen Shiping sometimes feels miserable.

Everyone regards him as a benchmark. If he fails once, everyone will probably be disappointed.

It is not difficult to succeed, but it is difficult to be successful all the time.

Chen Shiping is under the greatest pressure.

Seeing that May Day was approaching, Chen Shiping became nervous.

He is very confident about the movie, but the final market test is unknown.

The May Day holiday is coming soon, and the whole country is getting into holiday carnival.

But no one at the theater chain or Beijing Film Studio took a break.

Chen Shiping also sat in the car and headed to Victory Cinema.

But this time the car didn't go in.

The road was full of people, and they were so busy that it was impossible to squeeze in.

The appeal of Chen Shiping and Cheng Long directly paralyzed traffic.

The influence of those celebrities in Hong Kong cannot be underestimated.

This year Wang Zuxian came to Beijing to film a movie. She just planned to visit Tiananmen Square, but she was blocked by hundreds of movie fans.

I didn't see anything in the end, and my hands were sore when signing autographs.

Now Cheng Long plus Chen Shiping have a blockbuster movie, which has caused dozens of times the sensation of Wang Zuxian.

Chen Shiping looked at the crowded crowd in front and couldn't help but frown.

How can we get in?

Chen Shiping turned to look at Cheng Long and said, "Get off the car and walk over."

Cheng Long: "." Can I still walk to the cinema after getting off the car?
"There are many more people this time than at the New Longmen Inn." Liang Jiahui couldn't help but think of the last time he came to promote the New Longmen Inn.

"The audience is more enthusiastic." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Get off the car and meet the audience in advance."

Chen Shiping and others were recognized as soon as they got out of the car.

In an instant, people on three levels inside and three outside were surrounded.

Movie fans crowded in front of them excitedly.

Chen Shiping and others immediately surrounded Lin Fangbing, Zheng Shuang, and other women and children.

Li Xiaoran excitedly got his head out from under Chen Shiping's arm to give autographs to fans.

Chen Shiping slapped him back.

Where are you from? They are looking for Lin Fangbing!

Chen Shiping was better off, but Cheng Long and Liang Jiahui were in worse shape.

I don’t know who made the first move, touched Liang Jiahui’s chest muscles, and then shouted: “I touched the living Liang Jiahui!”

The fans around him instantly went crazy.

I want to touch the live ones too! In the end, with the help of the traffic police, Chen Shiping and the others squeezed into the cinema.

Chen Shiping turned his head and glanced at Cheng Long and Liang Jiahui and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Both of their shirts were torn, and their white shirts were covered with handprints.

Cheng Long said dumbfounded: "Everyone is so enthusiastic."

"It means I like you." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Cheng Long laughed happily.

This is the highest honor an actor can receive.

Twenty minutes later, everyone went on stage to meet the audience.

Liang Jiahui took the initiative to joke, pulling on his shirt and said: "Everyone is so enthusiastic that my shirt has been torn. I will be scolded by my wife when I get home."

The audience burst into laughter, and Cheng Long also joked: "If I hadn't pulled my pants, someone would have snatched them away."

Chen Shiping, who was on the second floor, couldn't help but want to laugh.

Cheng Long and the others are not football stars, so why would anyone want to collect clothes?

After Cheng Long and the others interacted on stage for a while, they started performing.

The audience's enthusiastic cheers made Cheng Long unable to refuse.

Cheng Long performed a drunken boxing set on the stage.

Snake is his first big hit movie, but Drunken Master is the classic in the hearts of the audience.

The entire theater was filled with warm applause and cheers.

Lin Fangbing also came on stage and sang a song, and the audience also screamed.

Many magazines reported that Lin Fangbing made huge sacrifices for the movie and took off her clothes to dance in the movie.

Chen Shiping listened to the whistling below and suspected that more than half of the male audience came for the clip of Lin Fangbing dancing.

Sex is the primary productive force!

Soon the movie started and the hall started shouting.

When they saw Cheng Long flying a fighter jet and shooting at the building, the audience was stunned.

Especially when I saw the Harrier fighter jet hovering in the sky and Li Xiaoran jumping out of the building, grabbing the crane and jumping onto the plane, the whole theater was filled with exclamations one after another.

Many viewers are thinking about a question, how the hell was this filmed?

What a jump!
It’s really flying!
The circular green screen of True Lies was so realistic that the audience didn’t even notice it.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

Then I was completely surprised when I saw Liang Jiahui hanging on the missile and being launched.

Is Liang Jiahui still alive?
Many people in the theater who touched Liang Jiahui looked at their hands subconsciously.

Is the one you just touched alive?

The audience's reaction was not surprising. They had never seen such a blockbuster before, and they had no idea how the movie was shot.

It’s normal to doubt life.

Just like when 3D movies appeared, the audience who saw a 3D movie for the first time screamed in fright at the missiles flying from the screen.

Changes brought about by technological development require everyone to slowly accept them.

Chen Shiping watched until the end and went out without waiting for the final happy reunion.

I want to smoke a cigarette and get some fresh air.

It had been a long time since he had smoked, and this time he still felt a little stressed.

Now I finally let go of my worries.

As soon as Chen Shiping took a sip, Li Xiaoran appeared out of nowhere.

"Director."

Chen Shiping put out his cigarette and asked, "Why did you run out?"

"I have something to ask you." Li Xiaoran said with a smile, "I want to treat you to dinner."

"I have nothing to show my courtesy. Do you have anything to ask of me?" Chen Shiping asked with a smile.

"A little thing~" Li Xiaoran said, pinching his fingers.

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Tell me, I'll hear what's going on."

"That's right, the theater in the factory thinks I'm too young and doesn't need me. I want to go out and perform, okay?"

"Are you going out to perform, or is someone looking for you to film?"

Li Xiaoran shrugged and said sheepishly: "There are also advertisements. I'm afraid it will have a bad impact."

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, you know to ask me first. Commercial performances and commercials cannot be accepted before the movie is released."

Li Xiaoran said disappointedly: "Okay, can you arrange a movie for me? They all dislike me for being young."

Li Xiaoran puffed up his chest in dissatisfaction and said, "I'm already seventeen, and I'll be eighteen soon!"

Chen Shiping stretched out his hand and flicked her little head and said, "Don't worry, you are famous enough now, first practice your acting skills in a theater troupe."

Li Xiaoran covered his forehead and puffed out his mouth, but did not dare to resist, like a receiving bag.

Chen Shiping thought she was quite cute, at least she didn't have a grimace on her face now.

Then he looked miserable, wondering if he had endured too much hardship.

First, he was entangled by his first love, and then he was stabbed in the back by his best friend. After a few years of debut, he still had no sound.

In the end, he was entangled and controlled by the boss of the Black Society.

Who wouldn’t be miserable after experiencing these things?
Chen Shiping felt miserable just thinking about it.

Looking at Li Xiaoran, who was still young, Chen Shiping stretched out his hand to rub her head and said, "Don't worry, I will write a script for you to act in later."

"Really?!" Li Xiaoran happily wanted to hug Chen Shiping, but he pressed his forehead and pushed him back.

Chen Shiping was more than a round older than her, so it was not good to be seen.

When the time comes, I won’t even be able to explain it clearly.

Li Xiaoran felt a little disappointed, but soon became happy.

Director Chen wrote a script specifically for me!

I must think I can become a big star!
Chen Shiping glanced at the time and said to Li Xiaoran: "The movie should be over. Go back and prepare to go on stage to interact with the audience."

Only then did Li Xiaoran remember that he wanted to have a curtain call interaction and hurried back.

Chen Shiping did not go in again and left before the audience came out.

Otherwise, I will be surrounded by movie fans and unable to escape.

In the evening, Chen Shiping read novels in the office.

Han Laosan knocked on the door and came in.

"Director, the box office is out."

Behind Han Laosan were Cheng Long and others.

They are also waiting for the final box office data in the factory.

There was joy on their faces, and it seemed like the box office performance was going well.

Cheng Long couldn't help but smile and said: "Director, guess how many there are."

Chen Shiping put down the book and said: "The entire Southeast Asian market should be worth four million US dollars."

Cheng Long was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "You guessed it right! US$4.62 million!"

Chen Shiping didn't expect this number to be real, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you out to dinner!"

"Haha, it's already half past one. How can any restaurant be open?"

"Then I'll treat you to breakfast later!"

Several people sat down in Chen Shiping's office and chatted excitedly.

No one can sleep now.

It made more than four million US dollars on the first day of the premiere, and it would be even higher the next day.

But everyone's spirits were not strong enough to resist.

After chatting for a while, everyone started to yawn profusely.

Chen Shiping looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o'clock. He stood up and said, "Let's go. I know there is a breakfast shop that opens early."

A large crowd of people followed Chen Shiping.

Only Li Xiaoran walked at the end, and before leaving, he secretly took away a pen belonging to Chen Shiping.

Holding the hard and straight pen in his hand, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but blush.

I don't know if it was because I stole something, or if I thought of something else.

Li Xiaoran remembered that Chen Shiping wrote in his novel Red Wall that the literati's pen is an extension of male characteristics.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran secretly stuffed the pen into his pants pocket.

The jeans were very tight, leaving an obvious mark on the pen and sinking into her thighs.
