Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 306: Mr. Tong is far inferior to Mr. Chen!
China Film, Chairman's Office.

Director Tong picked up the phone and notified the secretariat to ask all directors and managers to come to the meeting.

In the current situation, he can only force himself into one project!
Regardless of whether it is the original project or not, he has to start a project first!

Otherwise, I don’t know what to say within the group.

China Film Group’s surname is really Chen, not Tong!
Although this is an inappropriate metaphor, it is very apt.

If the top leader is controlled by the second-in-command, what will he do in the future?
Ten minutes later, Director Tong came to the meeting room and frowned when he saw that Chen Shiping's seat was empty.

Chen Shiping simply doesn’t come to the meeting?

Secretary Li stood up and said, "Director Tong, Mr. Chen went out an hour ago, and the call was not connected. We can't get in touch with him for the time being."

Director Tong put down the notebook in his hand, slapped the table and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? How can the meeting proceed now that President Chen is not here?!"

Director Tong glanced at several directors as he spoke.

These directors all looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and did not respond.

Don’t expect us to hold the meeting without Chen Shiping!
Fight for your own affairs!

We directors are just there to make up the numbers, we don't really hold any shares.

The meeting room fell into an awkward situation, and Director Tong's eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

When everyone saw Chen Shiping coming, they no longer took the chairman seriously, right?

Director Tong looked at them and said, "Since Mr. Chen is not there, let's have a meeting first. Xiao Li, take notes of the meeting and tell Mr. Chen when he comes back."

Xiao Li nodded immediately, but he was a little anxious.

Leader, please come back soon, otherwise Director Tong will directly hold a meeting and pass a resolution without you, and you will be sidelined instead!

The expressions of everyone in the conference room were somewhat intriguing.

I wonder if there will be a big fuss when Chen Shiping comes back.

Director Tong sorted out his thoughts, coughed lightly and said: "Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the investment issues of the group's new projects.

I plan to invest in a film, television, culture and arts training school to make up for the group’s lack of actor training.”

No one in the meeting room raised any objections, so they just listened.

No one understands why China Film Group wants to invest in a training school, but the chairman said that we should train them.

President Tong talked a lot, analyzing the current situation of the group from various angles and the benefits of investing in a film and television school as the first project.

Just as Director Tong finished speaking and was about to vote directly, his secretary suddenly came in and whispered something in his ear.

Director Tong frowned. Why did the General Administration ask him to go there? And why did they ask him to go there now?

Could it be related to Chen Shiping?
Director Tong had some doubts in his heart, but now was not the time to think too much. He coughed and said, "Now everyone will vote. After the vote is passed, the Finance Department and the General Manager's Office will hurry up to implement it."

Everyone sighed in their hearts after hearing this. They haven't even voted yet, but they are already urging us to implement it as soon as possible.

Raise your hand to express your opinion!

Five minutes later, the meeting ended and formally passed the resolution for China Film to invest in a film and television training school in Shandong.

The planned investment is RMB 8.6 million, accounting for 50% of the shares.

At this time, in the office of the General Administration leaders, Chen Shiping was discussing the development of the movie channel with several leaders.

The movie channel has been established for nearly a year and is still in its infancy. Program content is scarce and it is difficult to increase ratings.

Movies are still played non-stop most of the time now, but the key is that there are not so many movies to play.

Although various film studios have given their full support and sold their films to movie channels at extremely low prices, they cannot withstand the long-term broadcasting.

Several leaders are also worried. The movie channel has been set up, but development is equally important.

Chen Shiping looked at the leaders and said with a smile: "We should be self-sufficient. The channel now needs a complete production team. While increasing the source of films for the channel, it can also support young directors."

"We should also put some thought into the innovation of programs. Both the format and content should be innovative and enriched. I suggest that we can cooperate with Beijing Film Academy Television Center to produce more excellent programs. The management team is very important for a TV station."

Chen Shiping talked a lot, and the leaders asked questions from time to time.

It didn't take long for the discussion to be over.

The people from the China Film Production Branch will be integrated to shoot films for the film channel, and the Beijing Film Academy's Television Art Creation Center will also be responsible for the channel's daily programs.

All the production of the movie channel was taken away in one go!

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Thank you leaders for giving us a space to practice. We will definitely produce excellent content to improve the movie channel in the future."

The leader smiled and said, "You are a very cunning boy. Are you targeting the movie channel?"

"No, no. The main purpose is to integrate resources through the establishment of the channel. It is also a resource exchange to re-empower the group's branches. While optimizing the group's structure, it also makes the film channel a platform to aggregate multiple departments."

The leaders were a little confused. The words Chen Shiping said sounded weird and professional!

If you think about it literally, it makes sense, and the key is that it is said very beautifully.

He has grown a lot as the vice president of China Film Group. I used to think he was not capable of these things.

However, he has always emphasized integration and optimization through movie channels, but in fact he does not want a movie channel yet.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intention.

You are in charge of all the production, and the only thing left for the movie channel is the satellite launch.

It would be better to entrust the movie channel directly to China Film.

It is just right for Chen Shiping to use the film channel as a platform to integrate resources and optimize the structure.
The leader was a little stuck. It was really hard to learn Chen Shiping's various words.

Chen Shiping glanced at the time. Twenty minutes had passed, so why hadn't Director Tong come yet?

Would this old guy take advantage of my absence to force the project into action?
At this time, the leader also asked with a smile: "Shi Ping, are you used to working with Lao Tong?"

"Very good! Mr. Tong is more stable than me, so we complement each other perfectly." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

The leader smiled and said, "That's good. You should cooperate well and run China Film well."

Chen Shiping assured with a smile.

The leader couldn't help but say: "You have good vision and courage. You have a clear plan and ideas just a few days after joining the company. It's very good. Keep it up!"

"Thank you for the compliment, the group has just been established and has merged eight units and more than a dozen companies. The most important thing is to integrate and reduce the number of units, optimize resources, and avoid being too bloated and having chaotic business."

Chen Shiping was quite happy to be praised, and then he took the initiative to mention that Mr. Tong wanted to invest.

However, he simply mentioned the group's development plan and did not say anything bad about Director Tong.

The leaders had their own thoughts on the project, so he didn't need to say anything. Not long after, Director Tong came over. When he saw the leaders, he smiled and greeted them, and then nodded to Chen Shiping.

After he sat down and chatted for a few words, he realized that Chen Shiping had bypassed him and was doing something tricky!
Okay, okay, I'm doing something in the group, and you come to the bureau to do something, right?

However, he did not expect that Chen Shiping would take a roundabout approach and actually brought the movie channel over under the guise of optimizing the group structure and supporting the movie channel.

This surprised him a little, and then he thought about how he was busy running a training school there, and in comparison, he seemed to have neither courage nor vision.

The key issue is that he had previously wanted to take over the Television Art Creation Center of the Beijing Film Studio as his first political achievement after the establishment of the group, but now he was directly suppressed by Chen Shiping!
Director Tong felt a little aggrieved, but since his leaders had no objections, he couldn't say anything.

After a few people chatted for a while, the leader changed the topic and talked about Director Tong's investment project.

"Old Tong, Shi Ping just made a very good point. The group is now going to do some subtraction and become elite. I heard how you are going to launch new projects?"

Director Tong's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "It is mainly to enrich the business structure and fill the current business gaps of the group."

The leader nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, but the group has just been established, so we still have to be cautious."

Mr. Tong: “.” So it means that you should stop messing around?

But I just approved the project in a meeting! It’s impossible to cancel it now.

We can only think of ways to reduce the investment amount. Otherwise, China Film Group will be the first to make overseas investments of several million, which will definitely attract the attention of leaders.

If Chen Shiping hadn't come to apply eye drops, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

We really have to be more cautious now.

After the two came out of the bureau, Director Tong turned around and looked at Chen Shiping with a smile and said, "Shiping, come back with me in my car and chat while you're at it?"

"Okay." Chen Shiping got into his car without any hesitation.

After the car started, President Tong took the initiative to talk about the investment decision that had just been passed at the group meeting.

"What do you think about this?"

"Just sit back and watch. The group has passed the resolution. What can I do?"

"Don't be emotional. I couldn't contact you at that time."

Chen Shiping smiled and shook his head and said, “I don’t have any emotions, I just think this project is not good. The group has just been established and all the factories are watching it.

Investing rashly is not a good idea. Where the millions of dollars come from, where they are given, and what the returns are, all have a significant impact. "

"A few million is just a small project, you think too seriously." Director Tong frowned and said, "But your idea is not bad. You want to do subtraction. Now that the resolution has been passed, do you have any ideas?"

Chen Shiping immediately shook his head to indicate that he knew nothing, had no right to speak and made no suggestions.

This is something you caused yourself, so figure it out yourself!

You run your film and television school, and I run my movie channel!
You spent millions to produce results, but I won’t spend a cent to get the movie channel!

The first confrontation between the top leader and the second-in-command, isn't the outcome obvious?
I am afraid of comparison in everything!
Director Tong failed to attract people, and looking at Chen Shiping who was unmoved, he was too lazy to talk nonsense!

Damn, the film and television school should be run well!
If we create a few role models and support a few star actors, we can also achieve results!

But this is just a small thing after all, we still have to find a way to achieve other results!

Do subtraction. What else can the group reduce now?
The photo-processing branch was reduced? The photo-processing branch of Beijing Film Studio was also reduced!

After Mr. Tong had an idea in his mind, he began to think about how to do this subtraction!
Soon after the car arrived at the Central Film Studio, Chen Shiping pushed the door and got out first.

Someone on the top floor of the China Film Building was surprised to see him getting out of Director Tong's car.

The two of them reconciled?

However, when I saw Chen Shiping got off the car and walked away quickly without waiting for Director Tong to get off, I knew that the two of them were not reconciled at all.

Isn't this even more chaotic?

It seems that Director Tong's attempt to appease Mr. Chen failed. Mr. Chen must be angry that he held a meeting and voted while he was away.

This is ignoring the general manager Chen Shiping!
If this doesn't go well, no one in the group will listen to Chen Shiping in the future.

Now it depends on how Mr. Chen fights back!
Many people are waiting to see what Chen Shiping will do next.

It is impossible for a group that has just merged to have no conflicts.

The Beijing Film Studio is so powerful, who wouldn’t object to it being merged with the China Film Group?

After Chen Shiping came back and heard his secretary talk about the meeting and voting, he directly called everyone to the meeting.

At the meeting, Chen Shiping directly announced the merger of several production subsidiaries, which would be responsible for the TV movies of the movie channel in the future.

At the same time, it was announced that the group had obtained the rights to operate the movie channel!
From today on, the movie channel will belong to China Film Group!

The people in the conference room were numb.

Mr. Chen is still the best!
Whenever you go out, just scroll down to a movie channel at home!
It also integrated several branches of the group!

These companies were already in an awkward situation, with insufficient funds and a shortage of talent, and they haven't been able to produce any good movies in these years.

It would be a waste if you cut it off, but it would be uncomfortable to look at if you don’t cut it off.

Now they are directly integrated together and new businesses have been created.

By using movie channels as channels, you don’t have to worry about market issues!

It's so much!

Look at the training center invested by Mr. Tong, it’s not in Beijing!
What kind of messed up investment is this!
Mr. Tong is far inferior to Mr. Chen!
If he didn't have seniority and background, how could he have sat in the top position!
But Mr. Chen is really amazing. It has only been a short time since he left, but he has already persuaded the leaders to entrust the movie channel to China Film.

The leaders really give strong support to Mr. Chen!
Those who were originally waiting to see Chen Shiping make a fool of himself are now the ones making fun of Mr. Tong.

Tsk tsk tsk, everything is afraid of comparison!
A few days later, all the procedures for the film channel to entrust to China Film were completed.

The first action taken by China Film Group after its establishment was announced to the public on the same day!
The media also announced the matter about the movie channel, which did not cause much response in society, but the reaction within the circle was different!
Several major film studios are so envious!

China Film already controls the largest distribution channels in the country. After merging with Beijing Film Studio, the largest production base, it has become invincible.

Now that we have acquired the movie channel, won’t we be the best in the world in all aspects?

Many TV drama production companies are also in trouble.

The TV dramas produced by Beijing Film Studio are already very impressive, and the ratings of the programs and TV dramas they produce are all very high.

I still have a TV channel in my hand, and it’s a satellite channel!
How can we, the peasants, fight against the regular army!
Today’s China Film Academy is so scary!
Why does Chen Shiping always cause trouble whenever he goes to China Film Corporation?

You are blatantly monopolizing the entire industry!
Oh shit! No more fun!
