Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 257 The polarity is reversed!

At the entrance of Shangri-La Hotel, Chen Shiping drove away.

Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingxing watched Chen Shiping go before turning around and going upstairs.

In the elevator, Liu Zhenwei took the initiative to comfort Zhou Xingxing.

"It can only be released in Xiangjiang first. Director Chen probably wants to see the audience's response before deciding how to distribute it. But he finally agreed to help us distribute it in the mainland."

Zhou Xingxing nodded. He felt very sad. He still owed Chen Shiping two movies.

I just made money and came to open a company to invest in Westward Journey.

I'm encountering this problem before I even start.

If he lost all his money, Zhou Xingxing would really want to kill someone.

So Chen Shiping's attitude was so cold, but he tolerated it.

But Chen Shiping is pretty good, at least much better than those at Xiying Studio.

On the way home, Chen Shiping recalled the contents of Westward Journey.

The current situation of Westward Journey is very bad.

The core is good, but hard to see.

The filming was a bit complicated, and there were too many nonsensical contents.

You can indeed laugh, but the audience will have a question after watching it, what am I laughing at?
What is this movie about? Is this Journey to the West?

In the end, it was rated as nondescript and cultural garbage.

The most important thing is that it is difficult for orthodox fans of Journey to the West to accept such a nonsensical joke version.

The audience's acceptance is not that high. Secondly, the plot setting is not understandable to many viewers.

Dual identity, traveling through time and space, people who see it are confused.

If you want to reverse the reputation and box office of Westward Journey, you have to start from these two points.

It's actually not that difficult.

Chen Shiping is also a cultural celebrity now. If he comes forward to explain the platform's big talk about Journey to the West, it will also have a big effect.

Not to mention how good Westward Journey is at the box office, at least it will be able to make a small profit.

Chen Shiping thought about going back to Beijing Normal University to give a lecture and fooling students from several nearby schools.

After that, contact the media and post movie reviews to brag about it, which should attract many young audiences to the cinema.

Chen Shiping was thinking as he drove, and soon he arrived at Chen Hong's place.

Xiao Baicai seems to have had a lot of fun in Xiangjiang. It's been almost two weeks and she still hasn't come back.

In the Central Shopping Mall in Hong Kong, Tao Huimin is choosing baby pacifiers.

Guan Zhilin followed behind, wearing sunglasses and pushing a stroller.

"You have bought several pacifiers, Xiulin can't use so many."

"It looks good, I like it."

Guan Zhilin was also convinced, how could Tao Huimin buy more than him?

"It's getting late, let's go eat." Guan Zhilin couldn't help but said.

Tao Huimin looked at the two pacifiers of different types and materials in his hand, hesitated and kept them all to pay.

This is just an explosion of shopping desire.

There are too few shopping malls in Beijing, so it’s still fun to go shopping in Xiangjiang!
"Come shopping with me over the weekend tomorrow."

Chen Hong Niwai said coquettishly in Chen Shiping's arms.

"We have a screening tomorrow, we'll talk about it later when we have time."

"Oh, I almost forgot." Chen Hong paused and asked, "Do you usually go shopping with her?"

Chen Shiping glanced at her and said, "I don't like shopping."

"Really?"

Chen Hong became visibly happy, hugged Chen Shiping and said, "Then go to sleep!"

Chen Shiping smiled helplessly, turned over and turned off the light.

Chen Hong now likes to compare with Tao Huimin, and it is estimated that the impact of having children will not be small on her.

The auditorium of Beijing Film Studio is very lively today, and four movies produced by the factory this year will be shown.

The auditorium was packed with people, all factory employees and their families who came to watch the movie.

The four movies shown today are Hearing Girl, White Night Journey, The Bourne Supremacy and Li Shaohong's Pink.

It can be regarded as accepting the audience's evaluation in advance.

Chen Shiping was sitting in the first row of the auditorium chatting with several directors.

Zhang Yimo was also there. He put down the editing of Grandma Bridge to watch the works of his two opponents.

But when I met Chen Shiping, I always felt that something was wrong with the way Chen Shiping looked at him.

Zhang Yimo kept wondering in his heart whether Chen Shiping knew that he was making fun of him in Grandma Bridge.

Chen Shiping not only knew it, he actually did it!

In addition to these directors sitting together chatting and bragging, actors from several movies were also there.

Wang Zhiwen is the only actor who participated in two movies at the same time, and he talked and laughed with several beautiful actresses.

He Saifei looked at Chen Shiping sitting in the front row, always feeling that things were different.

The little editors who were on the Red Mansions crew are now big shots.

The key is that He Saifei still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about the time when she took photos of wives and concubines.

Her relationship with Tao Huimin has not been repaired yet.

I wonder if Tao Huimin has discovered the fact that Chen Shiping is a pervert and scumbag.

He Saifei glanced at Chen Hong, who was chatting with Hu Jun, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

When we were in the Red Mansion, we knew she was restless, and now she must be getting involved with Chen Shiping!

It's a pity that Tao Huimin doesn't believe in himself!

Chen Hong felt that someone was looking at her and turned around to find that it was He Saifei who was smiling and actively saying hello.

We were also good sisters who slept on the same bunk in the guest house.

Now she and Tao Huimin are the only ones sleeping in Tongbu.

But the one who got through was Chen Shiping.

This guy probably wants to sleep in the middle of his dream.

But this is absolutely impossible! Chen Hong would not sleep with Tao Huimin!
"Sister Hong, do you think the movie can be made?" Hu Jun asked nervously while sitting next to her.

Chen Hong shrugged and said, "I don't know, it should be possible. Besides, I'm just a vase. Whether I succeed or not depends on me."

Hu Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, you are the only one who dares to say that you are a vase.

Xu Ke was very polite when he saw you. He thought you were a producer.

Among these actors, the most nervous ones are Li Xiaoran and Xu Qing.

Two girls with quite wealthy minds sat together and were very nervous about whether the movie would be successful.

Next to Xu Qing was Duan Yihong, who was even more nervous.

It's just that he is better at pretending, and his emotions can't be seen even with a dull face.

He was really a complete newcomer, and he was captured by Chen Shiping before he had even taken a few classes at the Central Theater.

The school does not dare to speak out about the rules and regulations, so it can only pretend that the school does not have such regulations.

When Duan Yihong, who was inexperienced, was filming, he spent all day reading novels and scripts to figure out the characters.

Under Cheng Kaige's order, almost no one on the crew talked to Duan Yihong, and they all regarded him as a transparent person.

Only Cheng Kaige talks to him from time to time, and Xu Qing is the only one who cares about him.

We greeted him, gave him food and drinks, and read novels and talked about scripts with him.

Under such an environment, Duan Yihong really stepped into the role.

He even felt that he really had a crush on Xu Qing, and such a good girl should be protected by me.

I just don't know what happened, but as soon as the movie was finished, Xu Qing stopped talking to her.

Duan Yihong felt bitter, you changed your attitude too quickly!
Aren't you just teasing a stupid boy?

How can you not be so good at filming!
It’s all Cheng Kaige’s fault!

Duan Yihong secretly glanced at Xu Qing who was talking to Li Xiaoran and sighed inwardly.

Ignorant love was pinched by the roots before it even sprouted.

"Are you tired from filming Chen Shiping's scenes?" Xu Qing looked at Li Xiaoran curiously and asked. Li Xiaoran thought for a while and said: "I was very tired before filming, but I felt very relaxed during filming."

"I heard that you really studied sign language for a few months?"

"Yes, I can now communicate with people in sign language."

"Great!"

Xu Qing admired her from the bottom of her heart. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to learn from it.

The two little girls chatted for a while, and then the auditorium became dark.

"The movie has started!"

The auditorium was noisy and soon became quiet.

The first movie shown was Li Shaohong's Pink.

Among the four movies screened today, Li Shaohong is the least qualified and has the lowest expectations.

Li Shaohong didn't mind being the first to play. She had been working on this script for a long time and was full of confidence in herself.

The movie "Red Pink" tells the story of two prostitutes and a young master after liberation.

The story is not a drama about a rich man falling in love with a prostitute.

It's just that people in the old era still can't get rid of their bad habits in the new era, and they run around to death.

In the end, the affectionate prostitute was left to raise the child alone.

After the movie was played, applause broke out in the auditorium, but everyone felt weird.

I always feel like I have seen this movie somewhere.

There is always a feeling of déjà vu.

Chen Shiping does know why this is the case. In terms of images and light and shadow, Hongfen has learned from Zhang Yimo and Cheng Kaige.

The story is even more awkward. The first half is about the transformation of prostitutes in the new society, while the second half is all about the emotional entanglement of a man and two women.

He looks like Zhang Yimou in the front and Cheng Kaige in the back.

There are many unreasonable parts of the storyline, and the characters are also very contradictory and unrealistic.

A person who has been a prostitute for more than ten years has no bad habits and is still a person who values ​​friendship the most.

An old prostitute and a playboy, he reveals the integrity and kindness of human nature in every aspect.

In the end, he embezzled public funds and was shot directly. This result was extremely unexpected.

It was as if an upright and kind-hearted young man was forced to commit corruption for the sake of his family and wife, but was directly shot.

Hongfen will definitely win awards internationally!

There is nothing wrong with the outcome of the story, but Li Shaohong’s filming was too awkward.

Chen Shiping didn't know if she was trying to paint a tiger instead of a dog or if she did it on purpose.

But the movie is still above the standard.

In the auditorium, everyone was also discussing the movie enthusiastically, and most of them mainly praised it.

The movie's scenes are indeed well shot, and the ambiguous flirtation between Wang Zhiwen and Wang Ji is also attractive enough.

Zhang Yimo also praised his old classmate a few times. Cheng Kaige felt awkward in his heart, so he just said that he was good and didn't comment too much.

Li Shaohong was wondering, why did the two people's personalities reverse?
Cheng Kaige didn't know what was going on, and he had been in the process of reflecting on himself recently.

I carefully analyzed and studied my past films. The more I studied, the more I found many problems.

There really is a bit of a senseless moaning in it.

So after watching Red Pink today, he felt strange in his heart. He wanted to praise it but couldn't.

It seems that he is not as good at superficiality as Zhang Yimo.

After the red powder was released, the Bourne Supremacy was released.

Everyone in the auditorium began to look forward to it!
It’s the blockbusters that make people look forward to it more!

At the back door of the auditorium, many young boys and students from several nearby schools also came in.

I don’t know how I broke through the security room’s blockade.

"I caught up! I heard that The Bourne Supremacy is also an action movie!"

"I heard from my dad that they were all taken in Xiangjiang. They are really beautiful."

"Just brag. It's the first day today. Where did your dad watch it?"

"Watched it in the editing room!"

"Is the editing done in Xiangjiang good?"

"My dad just saw it!"

Children usually don't draft their boasts, and they will refuse to admit them if they are exposed.

Who didn’t brag as a child?

Soon The Bourne Supremacy was being screened.

The handsome Hu Jun lost his memory and went on a killing spree in Xiangjiang.

The young and Dangerous boys were pinned to the ground and beaten, even the elite agents couldn't beat them twice.

The fierce and fierce fighting movements and fast-paced editing are dazzling to watch.

The scene where the handsome guy takes the beautiful girl to escape from the chase is so exciting that everyone is so excited.

Especially the male audience watched with excitement.

The big difference between The Bourne Supremacy and Speed ​​and True Lies is that the story structure is simple.

Although the plot is suspenseful and confusing, the overall structure is very simple, that is, the heroic male protagonist leads the female protagonist to kill all the way.

The audience has a strong sense of immersion. Those who like to ponder the plot will be attracted by the true identity of the male protagonist. Those who like mindless fighting will prefer the male protagonist’s decisive killing.

When the movie ended, the auditorium burst into warm applause.

Xu Ke also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still regretted that it could not be released during the Lunar New Year.

"This time it's different from the previous two, but it still feels good."

"The action design this time is very good and innovative! Xu Ke knows how to shoot!"

"I heard that the director of the factory personally requested this photo shoot. If he didn't have time, he wouldn't have asked Xu Ke to take the photo."

"I envy Xu Ke, I envy every director who can be a tool for the director."

"I don't know how much box office I can get this time."

"Two hundred million as a minimum!"

"It's definitely more than 200 million. The entire Southeast Asia is estimated to be at least 300 million!"

"I really can't imagine this number. A few years ago, we were still worried about how many copies China Film could sell. Now we are talking about hundreds of millions in box office."

"It's all the credit of the factory director."

Xu Ke: "." Why doesn't anyone praise me? !
I am the director!

Only at this moment did Xu Ke realize how aggrieved those directors who had been their tools in the past felt.

I paid off my debt today!

Chen Hong felt uncomfortable, why no one discussed herself.

How beautiful I look in the movie!

Why did everyone come to see Hu Jun fight and kill him!
There is no need for dignity in a vase!

Chen Huaping cried in the storm.

I was thinking about torturing Chen Shiping tonight because he made me play the role of a vase!
I'm also very good at acting, okay!

Next time I will play a role that tests my acting skills!
After the Bourne Supremacy ended, it was past eleven o'clock.

Go out to eat!
Chen Shiping led a group of directors and actors out for dinner.

Directors and actors from several movies followed behind Chen Shiping and smiled and said they were looking forward to seeing his hearing girl in the afternoon.

Several students who sneaked in from Nortel looked at Chen Shiping's back with envy as he was surrounded by stars.

When will we become one of the many stars?

"Qingqing, you are the school beauty of our class. Director Chen may ask you to make a movie in the future!"

"That's right, Jia Jingwen and Liu Ling were chosen by Director Chen in the previous session, and Duan Yihong in the Chinese drama was also named by Director Chen."

Jiang Qingqing raised her chin and said modestly: "What a school beauty, everyone is talking nonsense!"

"But if I can make Director Chen's movie, I'll do anything you want!"
