Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 285 Technology is the foundation!
The summer in Beijing is very hot. When Chen Shiping came out of Shangri-La, he was so hot that he was sweating.

The key is that the air conditioner in his car is broken again!

It's time for his broken Santana to be replaced.

This car was obtained from the factory's small car team in 1989.

It has not been replaced until now.

It has been used for eight years, and Chen Shiping is still a little reluctant to change it.

But it won't work if I don't replace it. This car is really hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

It is not convenient to take children out to play.

Chen Shiping was thinking about upgrading all official cars in the factory.

In the 1980s, all official cars were made in China, and now many official cars have been updated to Audi.

It’s time for Beijing Film Studio to update.

Early the next morning, Chen Shiping called the logistics and purchasing department and asked them to buy a car.

After the people in the purchasing department received the call, they gathered together to discuss what car to buy.

It is easy to solve the problem of arranging cars in the small car class. The key is that Chen Shiping does not use the driver of the small car class and drives all the cars himself.

Whether or not to purchase a better car for Chen Shiping alone is a question.

"Let's take a look first. If you see something suitable, hand it over. If it's approved, you'll buy it. If it's not approved, you won't buy it."

"Nonsense, of course I know that. The key is how to control this speed. Is it a little better than normal, or much better?"

"You're an upright person and you can figure it out yourself. I still have to buy film."

"."

One day later, the purchase list was handed to Chen Shiping.

He took one look and called back, what kind of car would he get himself alone?
He's going to fucking go to China Film Studio next year. He definitely can't continue to drive the Beijing Film Studio car.

Even if you pack up the Beijing Film Studio and take it away, you still have to drive a China Film Studio car!

Don't give Han Laosan a cheap price!

Cars are trivial matters, and Chen Shiping doesn't really care.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have changed my car for so many years.

What Chen Shiping is worried about now is the reality show. Chen Shiping knows that he is a bad name, so he directly uses a very picky name.

It’s easy to plan, but it’s really hard to shoot this thing.

It’s not that it’s limited by equipment. Sony’s just-launched digital camera can meet your shooting needs.

DVCAM can record from 34 minutes to 184 minutes.

It can fully meet the needs of reality shows, and the camera is not that bulky, so the photographer will not be too tired to carry it around.

Chen Shiping is quite stressed now. This is his first time doing a variety show.

Even with such poor technical conditions, the difficulty and pressure can be imagined.

But this is also a challenge.

You can't just fool around because it's a variety show.

In terms of art, variety shows are indeed not high, but their influence is no less than that of TV series.

Even stronger!

Chen Shiping doesn't have the self-awareness of a great director, and he won't say that he can't bear to shoot something like this.

It has been ten years since he was reborn. Chen Shiping feels that life needs a different scenery.

It would be nice to take this opportunity to travel abroad.

The world is so big, you have to take a look, right?

Chen Shiping looked through the information of some of the most popular celebrities at present, and was a little confused whether to choose those from the mainland.

Chen Shiping actually prefers celebrities in Hong Kong. They have been popular for a long time and early enough, and their popularity is relatively solid.

If it were actors like Hu Jun or Hu Bing who had just become famous, there would be many problems.

There are too few works and the audience doesn’t know them, so it’s hard to support them.

Communication among guests is also a problem. At least you must know English.

It’s very difficult for Hu Jun to learn English now. It’s not that he can’t learn well, but he doesn’t have the time.

Chen Shiping wanted them all to speak Chinese, but Chinese is so easy to learn.

Come on little by little.

The permanent guests must have at least three well-known Asian stars.

In this way, even if the remaining few are not that famous, it will not affect them.

There are quite a lot of well-known celebrities in Asia, including Hong Kong and Japan. Let’s take a look at the voting results and make your choice.

Chen Shiping thought about it for a while and put the guest matter aside for the time being.

First, communicate well about the filming location of the show.

If you go abroad to shoot, you will definitely encounter a lot of problems. Even if there is coordination and cooperation from local departments, it will probably not be peaceful.

If you go to the Ganges River for filming, extortion and extortion will probably be trivial, but you may not be able to save the car's exhaust pipe.

O sin.

Chen Shiping's first stop is China, he must start there first.

Starting from Beijing, the second stop goes to Japan, the third stop goes to South Korea, the fourth stop goes to Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and so on.

While displaying famous landmarks from various countries, you also have to do various challenging tasks and interact with the people.

South Korea is doing really well in reality shows!

Chen Shiping admired him very much.

In South Korea's cultural industry, not to mention music and TV series, there are many plagiarisms and imitations.

But there are really a lot of innovations in variety shows.

Even if Chen Shiping doesn't like South Korea, he has to admit that they have more whimsical ideas in variety shows.

Chen Shiping referred to many Korean variety shows when planning, including Infinite Challenge, RM and other programs.

The first episode of Chen Shiping's program is based on Infinite Challenge, an impossible challenge!
Let me drink bean juice and climb the Great Wall!
A group of foreigners drinking bean juice will surely make people laugh to death!
Eat delicious food, climb the Great Wall, complete tasks, continue the popularity of Blue Life and Death Love, and promote Chinese food culture.

By the way, it shows the breadth and depth of Chinese culture.

Various tasks and interactions are interspersed in the middle, which is enough to attract the audience.

After all, I have never seen this reality show before.

As a trivia fact, the first reality show was created by a German mustache during World War II.

Art students must have big imaginations!

While Chen Shiping was communicating with local people in Beijing about co-production matters, he was selecting members of the program team in the factory.

Photographers must be young!
The guest PD transferred talented students from the Literature Department, and these are the only talented students in the factory who can speak English.

But we won’t let them work as PD all the time. The factory will also recruit people, and they will always bring in new people when the time comes.

If you are willing to stay in the program, Chen Shiping is also welcome.

In the photography workshop of Beijing Film Studio, many photographers were talking about the selection of the program team.

"The factory director is holding a competition, running three thousand meters while carrying a camera."

"Three thousand meters must not be exhausting!"

"So those under the age of 30 are required, but the subsidy is high, even more than if you were filming a movie!"

"I'm going to participate anyway! Gaga can run!"

The factory was busy selecting photographers, and Chen Shiping was also communicating with Sony about purchasing equipment.

Chen Shiping was the first to purchase DVCAM in large quantities from Sony. Sony is very happy. DVCAM has just been launched and no one has bought it yet.

No one in the network or studios was using this stuff.

The photos taken are not as good as a film camera, so why use this?

And the technology of what has just been launched is definitely not up to par, no need to use it!
Chen Shiping came over and made Sony realize that this was a very important opportunity.

If Chen Shiping does well, this will be an opportunity to promote his work throughout Asia.

Then the market will open up immediately!

Lest they come to sell you door to door one by one and get frustrated!
In its original time and space, DVCAM was not accepted by domestic television stations until 1998.

In the middle of the promotion process, Sony was convinced. If you find a TV station to promote it, you have to give a kickback and have to eat and drink with you.

The situation is similar in other countries.

Filmmakers were too lazy to use it. After all, tape was not as good as film. TV stations were also hesitant about purchasing because they were worried about technical issues.

There will always be a period of pain when new products appear. Now that Chen Shiping appears, there is hope that they can get through this period!

Sony is thinking about sponsoring it directly and just placing an advertisement in the show!

Chen Shiping also had the same idea. Purchasing twenty or thirty units at one time was a big expense.

It would be great if Sony, which has a big business, can sponsor it!

Chen Shiping communicated with Sony twice on the phone, and the third time Sony people flew directly to the capital.

After two days of negotiation and communication, Sony sponsored 30 cameras for the program team and requested that Sony DVCAM digital cameras be specially acknowledged in the program.

Sony will also provide technical support to ensure smooth filming of the program.

Of course, Chen Shiping had no objection. It was for free. Anyway, there were no competing products in the country, so he didn’t feel any pressure.

After signing the contract with Sony, the photography running competition in the factory also began.

Chen Shiping also took people from Sony to watch the game.

There are many photographers in the factory, and a dozen young men all carried model machines of the same weight to start the competition.

Chen Shiping was still clapping and running with them.

After an afternoon of fooling around, Chen Shiping saw off Sony's people with sweat profusely.

After driving home and taking a shower, he just lay there and didn't want to move.

Running with weights is really not something that ordinary people can do. I will have to increase the subsidy for photographers later.

Tao Huimin couldn't help but sigh and said: "Your physical strength is no longer enough, you have reached your age."

Chen Shiping: "." Why do I still get stabbed in the heart when I go home!
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not even thirty-five yet!" Chen Shiping said angrily, "I've just never run with a heavy load before."

Chen Shiping snorted and didn't want to talk to Tao Huimin.

I was thinking that I really couldn't give the photographer a modified bicycle or something.

Ride your bike and don’t fucking run away!

When the special terrain makes it impossible to ride a bike, let him run with the camera on his shoulder.

Chen Shiping thought for a while and decided to let the props team try every day to see if they could work it out.

It would be best if it can be done.

If it doesn't work, you can just push it and run. That's better than carrying it.

It was only after doing this program that Chen Shiping realized how many problems there were.

During the simulated shooting the next day, I discovered that the radio was not working well either.

There was so much radio noise at the scene that I couldn’t hear what was being said.

The recording equipment also needs to be changed!
Chen Shiping felt like he was almost like Cameron, having to buy his own equipment for filming a variety show.

Chen Shiping, the sound engineer in the factory, and the people in the studio got together and started tinkering with the recording equipment.

The development of the factory is very stable now. There are not many things that need to be handled personally by him as the factory director. Generally, they can be solved by the heads of various departments.

What couldn't be solved by each department was basically solved by Han Laosan.

Chen Shiping can still be lazy now, but when he goes to China Film and Television, he won't have so many opportunities to be lazy.

When Chen Shiping went home in the evening, he brought a modified recording device with him.

Don't test it on yourself. Go to the factory tomorrow to see how it works.

During dinner in the evening, Tao Huimin looked at the things on Chen Shiping's body and couldn't help but ask, "Can you hear this clearly?"

"The effect is not very good. We have to process the audio separately later." Chen Shiping said while eating.

Tao Huimin made a sound and asked curiously: "How long can the recording last?"

"It only takes half an hour to change. It doesn't take long, and it's not easy to make it too big, otherwise the actor won't be able to wear it for a long time."

Tao Huimin couldn't help but said: "You are almost becoming a technician."

"I'm just a technician." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "My dream when I was a child was to be a scientist."

"What does Xiulin want to do when she grows up?" Chen Shiping pinched his daughter's face and asked with a smile.

Xiao Xiulin couldn't understand what she was saying, and she probably didn't understand what Chen Shiping said.

After teasing his daughter for a while, Chen Shiping took the equipment to the study room.

While Tao Huimin was clearing away the dishes, he couldn't help complaining to Tao's mother.

"He is now obsessed with dealing with those components every day."

Tao's mother couldn't help but said: "That's better than your dad. He goes out for a walk every day and wants to join the Sunset Red Dance Troupe."

Tao Huimin laughed loudly, turned to look at Tao's father who was running away and shouted: "Dad, I'll sign you up later!"

After a while, Tao Huimin came to the study with fruits. Seeing Chen Shiping still tinkering there, he asked, "Is the recording clear?"

Chen Shiping said without raising his head: "It's okay, do you want to try it?"

"I'm not interested. Why are you, a factory manager, tinkering with this?"

Tao Huimin asked incomprehensively.

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't understand this. Technical equipment is the key to productivity growth. The development of the film industry does not rely on more people."

"That doesn't just rely on a recording device."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We can't compete with big companies like Sony for cameras. We can always make our own recording equipment."

Chen Shiping put down the recording equipment in his hand and said: "We must have an innovative spirit, and we will do so in the future."

"Stop it now, don't teach me a lesson."

Tao Huimin stuffed an apple into Chen Shiping's mouth and said, "Get ready to take a shower and go to bed. I want to see if your physical strength has declined."

"If you don't let me go to class, you'll teach me, right?" Chen Shiping simply cleaned up and went to take a shower.

After a while in the bedroom, Tao Huimin couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chen Shiping naked and moving his waist.

What does it look like when you swing it around!
Tao Huimin climbed to the other side of the bed, grabbed Chen Shiping and dragged him to bed.

"Let me smell it and see if it's clean!"

Chen Shiping snorted and said: "It's very fragrant, just eat it and don't make a sound once you eat it!"

Tao Huimin rolled her eyes at him, raised her little hand and slapped him, and then opened her mouth to eat.

Early the next morning, Chen Shiping got up with a yawn.

Tao Huimin stood at the door of the bedroom eating steamed buns and said, "Would you like to sleep at home before going to work?"

Chen Shiping stretched and said, "You also know that I have to go to work. You did it several times last night and didn't let me sleep until after three o'clock!"

Tao Huimin blushed and ran to Chen Shiping and stuffed the bun into his mouth.

"Get up and eat, why are you talking so much!"

Chen Shiping groaned and slapped Tao Huimin when she turned around.
