Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 278 Beijing Film Studio is number one!

Life is always full of surprises.

Chen Shiping looked down at the sweater he was wearing, which had one sleeve long and one sleeve short. He was dumbfounded.

"Is this the sweater you knitted for two months?"

Tao Huimin awkwardly pulled the short sleeve down hard, and then said after pulling it to the same length:

"Isn't this the same? It's the first time."

Chen Shiping said speechlessly: "How about you add another section?"

"Can't find the pin."

"."

Chen Shiping was helpless, but it couldn't be seen under the sweater.

The small earthen pot was bubbling.

After the two of them finished eating, they went to the bedroom and rolled on the bed.

In the distribution department, everyone was sitting lazily on their chairs in a daze.

He put on his coat and said, "I went to the factory and won't be back at noon."

Coming here is just to show off.

The Spring Festival is approaching, so I would like to express my condolences to the distribution department who is still working overtime.

In Chen Hong's small courtyard, the trees were covered with snow, and only a small open space was cleared in the yard.

Chen Hong pouted and said, "I have to celebrate the New Year alone this year again, and if you don't come, I can't go home yet."

One moment Chen Shiping was doing push-ups with his hands on his hands, and the next moment he was kneeling behind Chen Hong and apologizing fiercely.

The key point is that Chen Hong is in the kitchen, and no one praises him, which is boring.

Chen Hong shook his head and said nothing.

"What about letting family members come to the capital to celebrate the New Year?" Chen Shiping suggested casually.

If you are celebrating Chinese New Year, it would be great if you can work overtime.

There's always something sad about the holiday atmosphere.

Chen Shiping smiled and joked, and everyone in the office laughed loudly, and then began to pretend to work.

Chen Shiping drank the soup and looked at Chen Hong, who was a little unhappy, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? You don't look happy."

You shouldn't be pretending, you have to write in the snow!

The kitchen was steaming, and Chen Hong was making soup.

The more prepared Chen Hong is when the time comes, the more uncomfortable it will be for her when she leaves.

"Are you really going to wear it?" Tao Huimin couldn't help but said, "Take it off and let mom patch it up."

Chen Shiping didn't want Chen Hong to make it so complicated. At most, he would come over for a meal and still have to go home to celebrate the New Year.

"I originally wanted to come to express my condolences, but seeing you so relaxed, I suddenly no longer feel guilty."

"Whatever, just the two of us, keep it simple."

Life lies in movement.

"It's okay, my wife knitted it herself." Chen Shiping kissed Tao Huimin and went out.

Chen Shiping said funnyly: "I didn't lie to you either."

Chen Shiping looked at her and said, "I will accompany you then."

After an unknown amount of time passed, the two rested on the bed. After a while, they looked at each other and rolled together.

"That's true." Chen Hong thought for a moment and said, "Then what do you want to eat during the Chinese New Year?"

After Chen Shiping left, Chen Hong, who was asleep, opened his eyes and wanted to get out of bed and take a bath, but his legs felt sore when he moved.

The Beijing Film Studio was empty at this time. Chen Shiping took a walk and left.

The two people rolled around in the quilt.

"I'm just here to see what you should do."

Chen Shiping strolled away again, but he made them feel uncomfortable here.

When Chen Shiping arrived, he saw them like this and didn't scold them for not working hard.

Either Chen Hong sat up and swayed back and forth or stretched his legs to practice a horse.

Chen Hong immediately looked up at Chen Shiping and asked in surprise, "Really? Don't lie to me!"

After a while, the two of them sat in the room and started eating.

The announcements are all the same old routine, and they are far less nervous than the previous two years.

Chen Shiping was writing couplets in the yard, but the weather was cold, so he dropped the pen after writing two couplets.

Time passed like this, and in the evening, Chen Shiping went to heat up some food and feed Chen Hong some, coaxed her to sleep, and then went home.

Chen Hong lay back again, looked at the ceiling, sighed silently, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.

Every time I was tortured to the point of falling apart, it was a relief, but it was really terrible.

New Year's Eve came soon. Chen Shiping got up early in the morning and posted Spring Festival couplets. After posting them, he said he went out to buy something, and then quickly ran to Chen Hong and posted Spring Festival couplets for her before going back.

Chen Hong got up relatively late. When she got up, she saw the Spring Festival couplets posted, which made her feel much better.

Started thinking about what to make for today’s meal.

Chen Shiping spent the whole day running back and forth.

I’m really grateful that there aren’t many people in Beijing during the Chinese New Year.

In the future, please don’t schedule Spring Festival movies for Chen Hong’s movies. Lunar New Year slots are just fine!
On New Year's Day, Chen Shiping went out early.

The movie is released today, let's go take a look and see how it goes.

There were still a lot of people going out on New Year's Day. Chen Shiping felt relieved watching people coming and going in the car.

Li Lianjie's appeal is still very strong.

By the time he arrived at Victory Cinema, a long queue had begun to form inside.

Chen Shiping walked around to the backstage, and Li Lianjie walked over quickly when he saw him coming.

Li Lianjie has been waiting for this opportunity for several years.

Obviously he was the first to cooperate with Chen Shiping, but neither the speed of life and death nor the true lies came to him.

Later, The Bourne Supremacy did not look for him.

Li Lianjie even wondered if it was because he had made Chen Shiping unhappy because he asked Chen Shiping to come to the Mainland to release the film "Double Dragon".

Otherwise, why would he have collaborated with Cheng Long on several films instead of myself?

Fortunately, I finally made myself wait.

Let’s just say that Director Chen is a nostalgic person, and he will definitely not forget himself!
"Director, you are here, long time no see."

Li Lianjie smiled and hugged Chen Shiping. It had not been too long since he had seen Shengfen.

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Happy New Year, I wish your new film will be a hit."

"Happy New Year, happy New Year." Li Lianjie said with a smile, "We are all working hard for Chinese-language movies!"

Chen Shiping smiled, turned to Shi Nansheng and nodded slightly.

He had said that he would help the couple, and now he would not break his promise by making two series of films in return.

However, Shi Nansheng has indeed been poaching people from Xiangjiang to the mainland in recent years.

One is to maintain her and Xu Ke's influence in Xiangjiang, and the other is to form their own power in the mainland.

The mainland currently does not allow private capital to establish film and television companies, but it will definitely open up in the future.

At that time, it is time for them to reap the fruits.

Several film companies in Xiangjiang are also planning this, but they don't have as deep a foundation as Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke.

People in the Xiangjiang film industry have thought very clearly. If you can't beat them, then join. If you join and develop slowly, sooner or later you can become a leader.

The undercover routines in movies are equally applicable in reality!

This is also the reason why companies in Hong Kong will sign new people in the mainland.

They are no longer embracing the mainland market, but are completely integrated into the mainland market.

Shi Nansheng knew that his plan could not escape Chen Shiping's eyes, but he didn't think there was any problem.

Who doesn’t think about themselves!
Xu Ke touched Shi Nansheng lightly and said, "Chen Shiping is really gaining momentum now."

Xu Ke is now completely honest. In the first few years, he still wanted to compete with Chen Shiping.

Now I don’t even have the strength to compete.

The main reason is that the mainland really doesn’t take people from Xiangjiang seriously now. Let’s not talk about Beijing Film Studio, let’s take a look at Xiying Film Studio, how they scolded Zhou Xingxing.

Xiangjiang's fingers were almost fucked when they were blocked in the room.

Chen Shiping is quite strange sometimes.

In the 1990s, the mainland welcomed Hong Kong stars, but did not pay much attention to Hong Kong directors.

But after the millennium, the situation is completely different.

I don’t know if it’s because private capital is too greedy.

Once the capital is gone, the bottom line and principles disappear.

It’s quite helpless when I think about it. It’s really hard to do it just to make money.

In fact, if you study carefully, you will find that many Hong Kong movies or TV series are not very popular in the post-millennium mainland film and television drama market.

Xiangjiang's movies don't make money even if they come to the mainland, and they don't make as much money as Feng Xiaogang.

The same is true for TV dramas. Mainland directors have produced many popular TV dramas, and they all use newcomers from the Mainland.

I don’t know why, but people in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang are regarded as cash cows.

I was so stunned that I was praised to the heavens, and then I even lost my pants and was still licking her.

You really deserve to lose money.

After Chen Shiping and Li Lianjie chatted for a while backstage at the cinema, they went to the screening room and sat in a daze.

In the screening room, Li Lianjie and others also came on stage and started interacting with the audience.

After a while the movie started.

Chen Shiping sat there and watched the whole movie, applauding with the audience, said a few words of blessing and left.

The movie is done, and Xu Ke is actually pretty good as long as he doesn't bother with special effects.

As long as Jet Li plays seriously, the movie will be exciting enough.

As long as Chen Hong is responsible for beauty, the audience will buy it.

It all depends on the final box office.

When he got home in the evening, Chen Shiping was dragged by Tao Huimin to watch TV.

The Condor Shooting was broadcast on CCTV.

Tao Huimin said regretfully: "I originally wanted to play Huang Rong, but I didn't have time to film after I gave birth to a child."

Chen Shiping hummed, but actually didn't want Tao Huimin to continue filming.

If you have nothing to do, just go and sing in an opera. If you want to invest in TV series, just invest in TV series.

I have to travel everywhere while acting, and I won’t be able to come back for ten days and a half.

Tao's mother cracked the melon seeds and said, "How old are you to go out and run? You don't really like acting."

"Who says I don't like acting!" Tao Huimin retorted unhappily.

Tao Ma rolled her eyes at him and said, "No one is stopping you, nor is anyone watching you act."

Tao Huimin choked and said, "I'm not allowed to take care of the child."

"When you go home every day to tease little Xiulin, you just have to take care of the kids?"

Tao Huimin was completely speechless, snorted and said: "Watch TV!"

Chen Shiping held back his laughter and said nothing. Every thing comes down!

The opening scene of "Shooting the Condor" is on the prairie, with beautiful scenery stretching as far as the eye can see. The idea was immediately confirmed!
Chen Shiping couldn't help but nod, the photo was pretty good.

Although it is not as sophisticated as the movie, it is already very good in the TV series.

Chen Shiping watched an episode with them and then went to the study.

He used to like watching TV series, but after working as a director for a long time, he didn't like watching TV series much anymore.

I feel like the TV series is very slow.

There is a big difference between TV series and movies.

In the study, Chen Shiping was planning his plans for next year.

The film festival will be held in April, and the factory will make every effort to enter the Asian market next year.

Now a detailed plan must be made.

The Asian market is so big. Which countries to invest in and which areas to invest in are all issues.

Japan and South Korea must be excluded first. Although Japan's economic development has not been very good in recent years, it is still very rich.

It’s better to wait and wait until the Asian financial crisis to buy the cultural industries of Japan and South Korea.

The same is true in regions such as Southeast Asia.

The rest of Asia does not have to wait for 1997.

The impact of the financial turmoil on other parts of Asia is not that great, and there is no need to wait two years.

In countries in West and Central Asia, Chen Shiping began to make detailed plans while reading the information.

The first thing to invest in is the media industry, newspapers, magazines and even TV stations!
Television stations, newspapers and magazines in many countries allow foreign capital to invest.

Many media outlets in the mainland have also been slowly penetrated and controlled by foreign capital.

Chen Shiping also has to slowly infiltrate others!
As time passed day by day, work started on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye.

After Chen Shiping arrived at the factory, he first arranged a production meeting and then went to the distribution department to learn about the box office performance of Mission: Impossible in various regions in Asia.

Jet Li has a strong appeal in the mainland, and Xiangjiang and Wanwan are also good, but not so much in other parts of Asia.

The box office performance of Mission: Impossible is not very explosive, it can only be regarded as average.

Pretty much the same as The Bourne Supremacy.

However, it is not as high as The Bourne Supremacy 2. The Bourne Supremacy was released during the Lunar New Year holiday, so the schedule is much better.

China’s Lunar New Year stalls are held during Christmas abroad, but the Spring Festival stalls are only available in China.

The Spring Festival is not the only time abroad, and naturally not as many people watch movies as on Christmas Day.

Of course there is another reason.

Chen Shiping's version of Mission: Impossible doesn't have the fan base of the original.

There are too many changes, just borrowing some plot points from Mission: Impossible.

Agents perform missions, including parachuting, chasing planes, and riding motorcycles in various classic scenes.

It is a high-end version of The Bourne Supremacy, but the plot is not as attractive as The Bourne Supremacy.

There is not enough suspense element, and it relies entirely on big scenes to stimulate the audience.

But Li Lianjie’s fight is indeed good-looking!
Much better than the fight between Cheng Long and Hu Jun!

Jet Li is suitable for this kind of movie.

What is important is the visual enjoyment of the fight, and everything else comes second.

The current results of Mission: Impossible are enough for it to continue to make sequels to make money.

In the future, we may be able to make seven or eight movies to form a good IP.

The Mission: Impossible matter was like that for the time being, and Chen Shiping didn't continue to worry about it.

This year's production planning conference is the top priority right now.

This year we will continue to set up stalls.

At the annual production meeting, Chen Shiping looked at the thousands of employees in the factory and made an annual summary.

"I would like to report to everyone the results of the factory last year."

"In 1995, the factory produced a total of films, co-produced films, and participated in investment in eight films, with a cumulative box office of billion, including billion overseas box office and million domestic box office. "

"In terms of film honors, we won a total of seven international awards and four domestic awards, including three gold awards!"

"The TV Drama Creation Center has produced two TV dramas and co-produced one. Water Margin and The Condor Shooting have been aired. The response has been good and worthy of encouragement!"

"As for the film and television cultural city, Water Margin Ming and Qing City received a total of 120 film crews last year, and the new film and television cultural city seaside town will be put into use soon!"

"The distribution department reached a new high last year with overseas overseas distribution."

"The stunt company participated in a total of 13 films last year."

"Production Department"

"Film Technology Laboratory"

Chen Shiping summed it up one by one, and everyone was excited to hear it!

What a powerful result!
Beijing Film Studio is the well-deserved number one!
