Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 274 One million per second will do!

A light rain fell in the hazy sky.

Chen Shiping turned to look at Zhou Huimin, shook the umbrella in his hand and said, "I just said it's going to rain."

Zhou Huimin: "." I thought you were joking.

"Then I won't go. How can we fish if it rains?"

Chen Shiping shrugged and said, "Then go back to sleep."

Zhou Huimin said "oh" and said halfway: "What do you think of me?"

"Which aspect?" Chen Shiping asked with a smile.

Zhou Huimin walked up to Chen Shiping with her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "In all aspects."

"She is very good in every aspect. She is versatile, has a gentle personality, and is very beautiful."

Chen Shiping thought about it for a moment and said honestly: "It's true that you can be attracted by sex, and you can also appreciate someone, but you can't talk about liking her."

"You're very honest."

Today there is no Zhou Huimin scene during the day, and there will only be a dance scene in the evening.

Not to mention Zhou Huimin, a singer, is very dynamic when dancing.

After Chen Shiping got up from his sleep, he felt refreshed and energetic and went to the set to continue filming.

Unlike many female celebrities, there are many female celebrities who like to draw.

Regardless of the value of the prize Zhou Huimin received, at least she had the confidence to participate in the competition.

"What about you?"

Chen Shiping saw that she was having fun every day, so he was not in a hurry to film her scenes.

From these two things, Chen Shiping felt that Zhou Huimin was a person who loved specializing in research.

Such people would also be successful in other industries.

Not to mention words like saving others from fire and water.

"That's not what I meant. We have had too little contact with each other. If we say we like her, it would be a lie."

But Chen Shiping and the others went to the beach for a barbecue.

"Good night."

The two smiled and said good night to each other before turning and leaving.

Some are pretentious and some are artistic young people, but few of them win prizes for their paintings.

That's why Chen Shiping told the truth just now. He was motivated by sex but not liked.

Loves to play and is willing to invest time and energy.

However, the scenes were scattered, and there was another scene that had to be filmed in the university library.

You're not a good bird either, so don't make a fool of yourself.

"Good night."

After playing around for more than half an hour, we went back to rest.

The atmosphere is also more joyful, both Zhou Xingxing and Jiang Wenli are good at dancing.

Zhou Huimin's character is quite fun, it should be said that she loves to play.

Apart from painting, there are even fewer female celebrities who like to play billiards, and there is even less one who can play at a professional level.

"Do you men like my kind?"

But sometimes it's not good to be too serious. She is serious enough about her feelings.

"You should check the number of followers you have."

Chen Shiping was quite happy on the dance floor with the camera on his shoulder.

We filmed Zhou Xingxing’s scenes first.

"It's okay for fun, but not for love or marriage?"

After the filming, Chen Shiping called it a day, but everyone didn't leave. They all jumped up and down with the music.

Serious to the point where everyone looks a little silly.

The two of them laughed and chatted all the way back to the town, stopping at the same time as they returned to their respective houses.

But Chen Shiping would not laugh at or look down upon her boyfriend.

The dancing scenes at the party at night were shot very relaxedly.

Zhou Huimin doesn't have many scenes, only a few scenes in total.

If you're willing to keep in touch, just continue. If you're not willing, just be a normal friend.

They turned to look again in front of their respective room doors, smiled and nodded before entering the room.

"I love telling the truth."

It was past one in the morning when I finished eating.

Zhou Xingxing had a lot of fun, but on the way back, Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Your happy time is about to end, and the subsequent scenes will be very depressing."

Zhou Xingxing said with a smile: "Actually, I have always liked tragedies very much. I am looking forward to playing a tragedy myself."

"Comedians all like tragedies." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Let the audience see how comedians act tragedies."

Speaking of this, Chen Shiping suddenly smiled and asked: "I remember you won the best actor award at the Asia Pacific Film Festival once, right?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded and said: "This is the only time, there is no gold content."

"Then perform well this time. I hope the first Asian International Film Festival will see you win a truly valuable Best Actor."

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he and Gao Fei went back to sleep.

The shooting continued on the second day.

At night, Truman, who was in a bad mood, sat on the beach and recalled his past.

When he was very young, he went to sea with his father. In order to get more excitement, he asked his father to keep paddling out, even if his father said there was going to be a storm, he begged.

In the end, my father unfortunately "fell into the water and died."

This has also become Truman's biggest fear, never being able to go to sea or face the sea again.

He was trapped on Taoyuan Island.

Truman has always blamed himself very much. It was his own fault. He was the one who killed his father.

But in fact, this is the director's arrangement, creating a shadow of childhood to ensure that he will not leave the island!

After Zhou Xingxing finished playing this part, he was silent for a long time, feeling that this movie was really too depressing and cruel.

The most terrifying thing is that Truman was optimistic and strong, and finally left Taoyuan Island and this hypocritical world, but went to another even more hypocritical world.

The more optimistic Truman is, the sadder Zhou Xingxing becomes.

The audience may like this optimism and be happy that Truman escapes.

But he won't, he even feels that he is Truman.

Maybe I am also on a huge Taoyuan Island, and my whole life has been controlled.

Chen Shiping was quite surprised. Zhou Xingxing should be an expressionistic actor, and his empathy for the character should not be that deep.

Why do you look a little depressed?
Look at Jiang Wenli, she is completely ruined now. After filming every day, she either goes to draw with Zhou Huimin or plays billiards. She really treats filming as a game.

In such a confused state, Jiang Wenli's performance actually fits the character better.

On the beach at the seaside, Jiang Wenli stepped on the waves with her bare feet. She turned to look at Zhou Huimin and asked with a smile: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes." Zhou Huimin said helplessly.

Jiang Wenli asked curiously: "Why did we break up?"

"Don't you know?" Zhou Huimin asked strangely.

Jiang Wenli shook her head and said, "I haven't paid attention to the news in Xiangjiang."

"Because he cheated." Zhou Huimin said proactively.

Jiang Wenli was not too surprised, but instead talked about Chen Shiping.

"Did you know that Chen Shiping is married and has children?"

Zhou Huimin nodded and said, "I have seen photos of his daughter, she is very cute."

"Then you, um, shouldn't you hate cheating?" Jiang Wenli said thoughtfully.

"You mean Chen Shiping and I? Are you his wife's friend?"

"No, no, no, it's just chatting, nothing else."

Jiang Wenli was so annoyed that Tao Huimin even invited her to drink coffee before coming.

Now I don't know whether to tell her about the situation here.

The key is that the two of them just play ball and fish together, and they don't even know how to make small reports. Zhou Huimin looked at her somewhat complicated expression and said with a smile: "He and I are just friends."

Jiang Wenli smiled and said, "What a good friend. He takes good care of his friends."

"I can feel that he is a very gentleman."

Jiang Wenli couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard the word gentleman.

Chen Shiping can be considered a gentleman!
Seeing Zhou Huimin's magnanimous appearance, Jiang Wenli had no intention of snitching.

Anyway, the movie is almost finished filming, so she will leave after filming.

Just tell Tao Huimin that nothing happened.

Jiang Wenli was annoyed by doing this kind of thing, maybe because it didn't happen to her.

If it happened to her, she might not be like this.

Wasn't it Jiang Wenli who brought the director's wife team together to ban the mistress?

People are like this. They only understand when things happen to them.

During the next few days of filming, Jiang Wenli also observed Chen Shiping and Zhou Huimin several times, and found that they were still fishing and playing billiards, and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Jiang Wenli then called Tao Huimin to tell her that everything was fine.

Tao Huimin felt relieved. Although she was generous, she could not always be so generous.

Otherwise, Chen Shiping would look for girls every day, and he would not be alive.

Just because you don't care about things in the past doesn't mean you'll indulge him in the future.

Now that he has children, Chen Shiping should be more honest.

In the seaside town, several scenes of Zhou Huimin were filmed quickly.

However, the crew didn't give her a final farewell or anything like that.

I have no intention of leaving at all, and now I walk around with a drawing board and draw every day.

The design style of the seaside town is very beautiful, and the scenery facing the sea is very attractive.

Zhou Huimin lives here and sketches everywhere.

Chen Shiping didn't bother with her, since it didn't cost anything to live here.

The main thing is to hurry up and take pictures.

More than ten days later, only the last scene was left to be filmed.

Truman left this virtual world by boat.

Zhou Xingxing doesn't talk much anymore. Sometimes when Chen Shiping takes the initiative to talk to him, he tends to ignore him.

I have a character that rarely talks, and now I have a bit of Truman Syndrome.

Zhou Xingxing almost turned himself into a real Truman. His eyes looked at Chen Shiping with suspicion, as if to say, boy, you did a good job! But I am the protagonist!

Chen Shiping didn't know if this was Zhou Xingxing's way of getting into the state, or if he was really seriously ill.

But in this state, it’s so easy to shoot!

The last scene of going to sea was shot in less than two days.

When Zhou Xingxing stood on the stairs with his back to the door representing freedom, he said, if I never see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon and good night!
Everyone on the set was infected by his smile. Watching him walk into the dark door, they all felt the joy of cheering for freedom.

Zhou Xingxing's eyes were moist when he walked into the door, obviously he hadn't walked out yet.

Chen Shiping was not very good at enlightening others, so he had to ask a few young people on the crew who liked to play more to take Zhou Xingxing to the nightclub.

You'll be able to get out soon if you have fun.

Feel what reality is.

Physical sensations cannot be deceiving.

The crew was also packing up and preparing to meet in Beijing at this time. Chen Shiping also wanted to communicate with the local government about the subsequent development of the seaside town.

The most critical point is to improve the infrastructure as soon as possible, and stores, amusement parks, etc. must keep up.

The second is that it cannot be opened to the public before the movie is released.

Otherwise, the opening will not have much response, and a good publicity opportunity will be wasted.

After finishing all this, Chen Shiping returned to the crew and prepared to take them back to the capital.

But before going back, I have to ask the painting girl about her plans.

We can't leave Zhou Huimin here.

"Would you like to visit the capital?" Chen Shiping asked with a smile.

Zhou Huimin put down the brush in his hand and asked curiously: "Can you take me to the Academy of Fine Arts?"

"Want to learn to paint? No problem, I'll go back and help you make arrangements."

"Thank you!"

One day later, everyone returned to the capital.

Chen Shiping helped arrange a house for Zhou Huimin, and introduced her to Central America before going back to busy with his own affairs.

She plans to study in the Mainland for a period of time before returning to Hong Kong.

I plan to retire anyway, and I’m not in a hurry to go back to work.

Chen Shiping was not idle when he returned to the factory. After handing over the rough cut to the editor, he went to work on the film festival.

Directors from seven or eight countries and regions have already signed up to participate in the Asian International Film Festival.

Chen Shiping also needs to communicate with the jury of the first Asian International Film Festival about the specific direction and standards of the review.

Jury chairman Xie Tieli, jury members, Abbas Kiarostami (Iran), Takeshi Kitano (Japan), Lim Quanze (South Korea), Yang Dechang (middle), Sumitra Chatterjee (India).

There are seven judges in total, all of whom are well-known Asian filmmakers.

Originally, Chen Shiping wanted to invite Akira Kurosawa, but the master was older and didn't have the energy.

After much thought, I invited Takeshi Kitano to participate.

South Korea's director Lim Kwon Taek actually makes up the number among the seven.

It’s just that the Korean market is too big to be ignored.

Chen Shiping, one of the major movie countries in Asia, has not let go of any of them.

China, Japan, South Korea, India and Iran are the most representative countries in Asian movies.

Filmmakers from other countries would not have any problem if a few of them were invited to review the film.

As for Chen Shiping himself, he did not participate in the jury.

Although he is famous, he still has to be busy with the whole film festival.

Festival president is where he should be.

Otherwise, we can't let Mr. Xie Tieli be so busy at such an old age.

Just watch the movie. It's easy to meet him. The most important thing is that he can dominate the other six judges.

After communicating with various judges on the phone, Chen Shiping went to work on the later stages of The Truman Show.

The rough cut has been completed, but there are several special effects shots in the film that require Chen Shiping to watch personally.

The shots pushed from the space satellite to Taoyuan Island on Earth require special effects.

Full special effects animation is still relatively difficult in China.

Domestic previous film special effects technology has also made a lot of efforts, such as scene painting, film painting, glass screen projection, multiple exposure synthesis, movable matte, etc.

However, the application of digital technology has always lagged behind.

The research laboratory at Peking University has been thinking about it for several years and has only achieved some results.

There have been considerable developments in computer image generation, digital synthesis, three-dimensional animation, and motion control shooting.

It has been three years since Chen Shiping invested in Peking University Laboratory.

With the investment ratio increasing every year, even a research team from an ordinary university should produce results.

However, Peking University's best technology is digital restoration, which is mainly needed for Chen Shiping's previous action blockbusters.

The synthesis and repair of explosions, the removal of Wia special effects shooting auxiliary devices, etc.

The development of three-dimensional animation technology is relatively slow.

But it’s enough to create a shot of a few seconds!

For this shot of less than ten seconds, Chen Shiping had one requirement: the effect should be comparable to Hollywood!

It costs one million a second!

Just treat it as a practice. If it succeeds this time, I will make a blockbuster next time!
