Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 259: The arrogant Shanghai Film Studio wants power!

Amidst the praise, Chen Shiping smiled and walked towards the auditorium door with his hands behind his back under everyone's gaze.

More than a thousand people stared at Chen Shiping, watching their factory director slowly walk out of the auditorium silently, confidently and alone.

When the door of the auditorium was opened and the light shone in, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

This is the state of loneliness and defeat in martial arts novels!

So what if Cheng Kaige’s literary film is praised, it’s Chen Shiping’s novel!
So what if Xu Ke's commercial film is thrilling and exciting? It's the style set by the script written by Chen Shiping!
Their success is all influenced by Chen Shiping, but Chen Shiping's success has nothing to do with anyone else.

The factory director is so awesome and insistent, and he is right!
Many directors looked at Chen Shiping as if they saw an invisible dark cloud covering them.

How can I surpass this person in the future?

Will I have to live in his shadow for the rest of my life?
Cheng Kaige couldn't help but mutter in his heart at this time, Chen Shiping is still the best at pretending!
What a style!
I used to be too talkative, bragging about my film art and whimsical ideas to everyone I met.

There is really no style at all!

Totally like Director Chen!

Zhang Yimo looked at Chen Shiping's back and felt that he was more temperamental than his grandmother, the boss of the gang!
The pattern I took is too small!
Look at this person’s magnanimity!
Zhang Yimo sighed as he thought about it. After watching Bai Yexing and Hearing Girl today, he felt like he had lost.

The photo taken is not even as good as the pink one taken by my old classmate Li Shaohong.

Otherwise he wouldn't be so complimentary.

Who would have thought that among the four movies today, Li Shaohong's was the worst!

Zhang Yimo emo.

It will be embarrassing next year!

If I had known, I would have listened to Chen Shiping and completely changed the script!

What Cheng Kaige said today is right, you have to make movies that the audience likes to watch.

Not only does it have to be liked by the film festival judges, but also by the audience.

How can a truly excellent movie abandon its audience and only serve a small group of people.

That’s no longer a private movie!
Zhang Yimo sighed, feeling that he had made the same mistake as Cheng Kaige before.

Cheng Kaige walked up to Zhang Yimo and asked with a smile: "When will your movie be edited? I'm still waiting to learn."

Zhang Yimo smiled awkwardly and said, "It still takes some time. I'll definitely ask you to see it when it's done."

Cheng Kaige smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it. I'm still learning from you. You never participate in the script."

Zhang Yimo: "." Stop talking, my face hurts!
Cheng Kaige left with a sense of secret joy. His old partner was thin-skinned, and he had already seen that something was wrong.

Zhang Yimo then left, but he was still thinking about whether to reshoot.

After returning home in the evening, he habitually called Gong Li.

However, the call was hung up before the call was connected.

Gong Li snorted coldly, calling her in the middle of the night would be bad!
Don’t you like wearing hats? Just wear them slowly!

Speaking of which, Chen Shiping is much more powerful!
Gong Li couldn't help but lick the corner of her mouth. This kind of cheating behavior was quite exciting.

No wonder so many people like to steal!
Chen Shiping was also stealing at this time.

Chen Hong looked back at Chen Shiping with sweating profusely.

Why don't you just complain to him that you are a vase in The Bourne Supremacy and ask him to write a script for you?
Why is it so popular!

It’s just that I’ve been a little indulgent recently and I’ve run out of small umbrellas.

But it should be fine during the safe period!
After the two rested for a while, Chen Shiping patted Chen Hong and said, "Go take a shower and go to bed!"

"You go ahead and hug me, I don't want to move."

"You're so lazy, forget it!"

"You are so awesome."

"I love hearing this!"

After the two took a shower, they went to bed.

Chen Hong couldn't sleep, lying on Chen Shiping's body counting the days.

It will definitely work this time!

There's no reason why Tao Huimin can do it, but he can't!
After working so hard and trying so many times, it’s time to win once!

The Chinese New Year temple fair lottery is not that outrageous!

Chen Hong slowly fell asleep after thinking for a while.

Chen Hong looked at the fried dough sticks brought to Chen Shiping's mouth in confusion and raised his hand to take a bite.

"Let me do this kind of thing early in the morning!"

"The daffodils are blooming, let's celebrate!"

"??? What does the blooming of daffodils have to do with this!"

"Stop talking and eat!"

Chen Hong: "." How can we prevent people from talking in this way!

Be careful to bite it off!

More than half an hour later, Chen Shiping drove out to work humming a song.

After arriving at the factory, I remembered that it was already December 20th.

The Lunar New Year season starts today. I wonder how Shanghai Film Studio will perform during this crisis.

At this time, there was also a movie-going craze in Shanghai, and the locals in Shanghai were very supportive of the Shanghai Film Studio.

We can’t always look at Beijing Film Studio as a standout studio!
There are many moviegoers in Shanghai, and there are also many in Beijing.

Although there was no blessing from the premiere, Chen Shiping still saw many people queuing when he passed by a cinema.

Chen Shiping was a little curious about the movies at Shanghai Film Studio, so he took out his mobile phone and called the manager of Victory Cinema and asked him to make arrangements for him.

Chen Shiping then rushed to Victory Cinema to catch the latest screening.

Sitting in the stands on the second floor, Chen Shiping looked happily eating popcorn and drinking soda.

The movie is very interesting. It talks about a weapons robbery and murder case in Company S.

The protagonist is the Chief of Criminal Division Z, and it is discovered that all cases were carried out by the secret service organization of Country B.

The purpose is to assassinate Councilor Y of Country B who is about to come to our country.

There are also large-scale shots of the heroine taking a shower with her friends in the movie, which is quite eye-catching.

The heroine is Sun Jihong, who has played the role of Pipa Jing in The Legend of the Gods. She is quite good-looking.

In addition to these large-scale shots, there is also a scene where the villain arranges a dog bomb on the street and ties a time bomb to the dog.

But in the end, the protagonist discovered it on the monitor and lured the dog away by jamming the radar.

They also arranged for children to lay flowers, but in fact they packed the flowers with high explosives, and arranged for female villains to bomb the rooftops with rockets.

There are all kinds of elements such as speeding cars, explosions, fighting, and beautiful women.

The bad guys are really bad, and if they dare to shoot, they really dare to shoot.

No worse than the speed of life and death.

But Chen Shiping always felt that this movie seemed familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that this was not a movie originally produced by Shanghai Film Studio called Operation Black Lion!
However, the scenes need to be more intense and bold, the overall style is more commercial, the pace is fast, and the scenes are more thrilling!

This is not the first time that Shanghai Film Studio has made a movie about terrorist organizations coming to our country to attack.

The earliest one was shot in the 1980s, when the domestic film environment was very good.

There are always people who feel that movies about terrorist organizations or special agents cannot be made in China.

I feel like the higher-ups don’t allow it, but actually we have been making this kind of movie for a long time.

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't have it. In Shanghai Film Studio's movies, big leaders have appeared!

Is there anything we can’t take pictures of? We’re not that sensitive in some aspects!
(This is specifically in response to several previous book friends’ complaints about the protagonist’s inability to capture the speed of life and death.)
Chen Shiping watched the movie happily and left the cinema with a smile as the audience cheered.

The box office performance of Time of Crisis should not be bad.

In some plot settings, it is bolder than the speed of life and death.

Chen Shiping thought, the box office in mainland China must be over 100 million.

As long as it exceeds 100 million, this year’s Lunar New Year stall will be considered a success!

After returning to the factory, before Chen Shiping could make himself a cup of tea and get ready to start work, Han Laosan came over.

"Director, Hongfen is scheduled to participate in the Berlin Film Festival in February next year. Hearing girls will also participate in Berlin. Do you want to communicate with Director Li again?"

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "No, let's join together."

"Okay, then let's arrange for Pink to be released at the end of February. For hearing girls, when do you plan to release it?"

"Let's put it on May Day. By the way, let's put White Night Walk on summer vacation. After attending Cannes, we can go back to China and release it."

Most fans of White Night Walk are students, so summer is more suitable.

After Chen Shiping finished explaining, he looked at Han Laosan and asked with a smile: "Did you go to see it during the crisis?"

Han Laosan shook his head and said, "No, the factory director went to see it?"

Chen Shiping nodded, gave Han Laosan a cup of tea, sat down and said:

"I just came back from watching it. The filming was very good. It broke away from the old feature film mode. This time it was very mature!"

Han Laosan became interested and said with a smile: "Then I'll go back and have a look."

"I want to go and see it. It's best to organize all the directors in the factory to go and see it. Don't always look at the internal reference in the factory, and listen more to the voices of the audience."

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he chatted with Han Laosan about the upcoming release of True Lies in Europe and the United States.

After confirming that there were no omissions in work, Chen Shiping smiled and said:

"After True Lies is released, you go to the production planning department to oversee production, learn to go to a film studio, get rid of the old feature film model, and be innovative."

Han Laosan said with a smile: "The factory has made great progress under your reforms."

"I'm talking about the directors of the older generation. Young people don't have to worry. The directors of the older generation still can't keep up. You should communicate more when you go back."

"Ok, no problem."

After chatting with Han Laosan for a while, Chen Shiping started to deal with the work.

The next day, Chen Shiping received the premiere box office data of the crisis.

It grossed 9.2 million at the box office on the first day!
Breaking 100 million is a sure thing.

The media praised Shanghai Film Studio's blockbuster, saying it was the first film studio to catch up after Beijing Film Studio's reform.

Chen Shiping didn't know how Xi Film Studio felt after seeing this news.

I really want to call and ask!

But before he called Xiying Film Studio, Director Zhang from Shanghai Film Studio called first.

"Shi Ping, have you seen the crisis moment? It's not worse than your life and death speed!"

"Haha, Director Zhang, Shanghai Film Studio is in the limelight this time, but you should call Xiying."

"We've already called them. We'll call them first!"

Chen Shiping couldn't help but laugh, this old guy is quite interesting!

After listening to Director Zhang show off, Chen Shiping hung up the phone.

I'm thinking about giving him a call to show off after True Lies premieres overseas at the box office!
I have to show it off to several other film studios!
Stimulate them, otherwise they will have no motivation!
The atmosphere among film studios has quietly changed from this moment on. In the past, everyone was competing secretly.

Now it’s time to officially put it on the table.

But only in this way can competition be healthy. In the past, everyone competed by poaching people behind the scenes.

This was the fault of Xiying Studio, and later Chen Shiping also secretly did this kind of thing.

Zhang Yimo, Gu Changwei, and Zhao Fei were all recruited to the Beijing Film Studio.

We won’t do this kind of thing now. Everyone knows what we should do in the future.

There is no need to do things like poaching secretly anymore.

A few days later, True Lies was released in Europe and the United States.

On the day of its premiere, the global box office exceeded $6 million!

Cheng Long has a popular movie that has received good response overseas. This time, True Lies still has a certain appeal.

Similarly, Chen Shiping has also gained a certain degree of popularity among general overseas audiences.

It's not unusual to get more than 6 million at the box office.

If it performs well at the box office, it should be able to earn around 80 million to 100 million.

Including Southeast Asia, True Lies may have a global box office of over 200 million US dollars!

Huge profits!
Money is a trivial matter, the main thing is to enable Chinese-language films to be distributed and promoted overseas.

The overseas premiere box office data of True Lies was sent back to China, and was also released to the media by Beijing Film Studio.

Suddenly all the media started to hype it up, and there is nothing more encouraging than a Chinese film being popular among overseas fans.

In the Shanghai Film Studio, Director Zhang couldn't help but scratch his eyebrows while watching the news.

He had a hunch that Chen Shiping was going to call to show off!
Unplug the phone line first!
At the same time, people from Xiying Film Studio and Changying Film Studio were also unplugged.

The last time I was made angry by Shanghai Film Studio, this time I couldn’t do anything to make Chen Shiping angry again!
These people are so irritating!
I can't stand it!
Make a blockbuster movie!
Whatever you say, you have to make a blockbuster movie!

Xiying Film Studio originally planned to promote Westward Journey, but they invested a lot of money in it. Starring Zhou Xingxing, it would make some money.

Now that I see Shangying surpassing me, how can I bear it anymore!
In the office of the director of Shanghai Film Studio, Comrade Zhang was thinking about making a trip to China Film Studio!
Distribute globally even in times of crisis!

We can’t let Beijing Film Studio make all the dollars!

Shanghai Film and China Film don't have that big of a conflict right now. They can set up a group company with China Film and completely control the right to introduce foreign films. Only then will Shanghai Film and China Film compete with each other.

It’s still in the honeymoon period!
Shanghai Film not only wants to distribute it overseas this time, but also wants to see if it can get the rights to introduce foreign films from China Film!

Shanghai Film Studio’s translation producers have always been the best in the country.

The right to introduce it should be part of Shanghai Film Studio!

Director Zhang, emboldened by his box office success, came to the capital with great force.

This time, China Film Group is coming with great power and must save face!
Otherwise, go complain to the leader!
