Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 307 Chairman Must Be Sensible
"Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen, good morning!"

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

At the bottom of the China Film Building, Chen Shiping nodded and walked upstairs.

Everyone stopped to greet him when they saw him, even the group's directors and deputy managers.

No one dares to pretend to be a senior in front of him.

Now that the chairman has been ousted, Chen Shiping will still have the final say in China Film Group Corporation.

It is very embarrassing for a company like China Film Group Corporation as there is a D committee member on the board of directors.

The major decisions are made by the top and then discussed by the board of directors.

The board of directors mainly supervises the management below.

However, there is overlap between the D Committee and the Board of Directors of China Film.

Chen Shiping is not only doing both, but he is also the general manager.

The role of directors in such a structure is not particularly important. Although it develops in accordance with modern enterprises, it still has its own characteristics.

After Chen Shiping arrived at the floor where his office was located, he saw Director Tong from afar at the other end of the corridor.

The two nodded to each other across the corridor and went back to their offices.

No matter what people in the group say, on the surface the two of them are still treating each other well.

There must be no problems with the leadership team, otherwise the branches below will be in chaos.

The higher-ups won't be reassured either, and will either give them both fifty lashes or get rid of one of them.

The possibility of Chen Shiping being taken away is basically zero, so it can only be Director Tong.

But Mr. Tong didn't want to leave, and Chen Shiping didn't want him to leave either.

It's so hard to suppress one, but it's troublesome to change the other one.

From now on, just make sure your words are heard within the group.

Whether Director Tong wants to gild himself or reap the benefits, it's fine as long as he doesn't cause any delay for Chen Shiping.

As soon as Chen Shiping entered the office, Secretary Li came.

"Mr. Chen, here are some tasks that need to be handled today. There are also several managers from other companies who want to come to you to report their work. Please take a look at who you want to meet with."

"The group has been discussing the matter between you and Director Tong in recent days, and I haven't heard any negative comments yet."

Chen Shiping nodded, flipped through the documents, and asked, "What about the chairman? What are the arrangements for today?"

Xiao Li subconsciously turned his head to look twice before whispering:
"I heard that he met with several directors privately and rescinded his previous investment decision. He also made an appointment with the manager of the 123 Productions branch today."

Chen Shiping looked up at her and said, "No need to be sneaky in my office."

Xiao Li was embarrassed and said, "I haven't heard anything else. The secretary's office is usually quite quiet."

Chen Shiping hummed and said, "Get along well with your colleagues and tell me if there is anything."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll be leaving first. Call me if you need anything."

"Go and get busy."

Chen Shiping began to look through today's work schedule and turned on the movie channel, as he still had a lot of things to deal with.

I guess Mr. Tong’s meeting with the managers of the three branches today was also about this matter.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the leadership team gathered for a meeting.

The meeting mainly discussed the management and operation of the movie channel.

Director Tong wants to interfere in the affairs of the movie channel.

Chen Shiping drank tea and listened to Director Tong talking about how important the movie channel was and how it should be run well.

After he finished speaking, he said, "The chairman is right, so I plan to take full responsibility for the movie channel. Is that okay with you?"

Several directors in the conference room fell silent.

Hey, the fight started again!
Director Tong looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Shiping, there is still a lot of work to do in the imported film department. You still have to formulate reform plans for other aspects of the group. You can put the movie channel issue aside for now."

"Thank you for your concern, Chairman. I am still busy. The bureau gave me the movie channel because they hope I can do a good job. I also promised the bureau that I would not be at ease if I didn't keep an eye on it myself."

Director Tong: "." Don't take salted fish as a sword of justice! Believe it or not, the board of directors will reject your decision!
When the directors heard Chen Shiping's words, they all heard the other side of the story.

This is using the bureau to put pressure on the chairman!

But there is something wrong with what he said. Without Chen Shiping, there would be no way we could have brought the movie channel here.

Chen Shiping did not give Director Tong a chance to continue speaking. He looked at everyone and said, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"

Director Tong did not object first, but coughed and picked up the cup to drink water.

Several directors were in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

Zhonghe’s manager is also one of the directors. He is on the same side as Chen Shiping.

The co-production of the film was all thanks to Chen Shiping’s initial support. Otherwise, once the co-production was restricted, China Co-production would be extremely embarrassed!

So at this time he was the first to raise his hand and said: "I support Mr. Chen. We don't know much about TV channels, so we still need professionals to do it. The most important thing is that the bureau must have its own considerations for making such an arrangement!"

His last sentence made many directors change their minds. They could indeed vote out Chen Shiping now, but what would the leaders think if they knew?
When the chairman goes to the bureau and passes the buck, it will be these directors who will take the blame!
Damn, I almost got fooled!
So several directors raised their hands at the same time to express their support for Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping smiled, glanced at Director Tong, then picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, imitating him.

You are the only one who can pretend! Who can't?
Director Tong put down the teacup expressionlessly and nodded in agreement.

He was just so angry that his liver ached because he had lost control of the board of directors!
After this incident, it will be difficult to establish your prestige again!
He doesn't have a veto!

Chen Shiping took a sip of tea and put down the cup, then said, "Then let me briefly explain the solution for the movie channel.

The three original production companies of China Film Group and the Television Art Creation Center of Beijing Film Studio were merged to be responsible for producing programs and films for the film channel.

The main management team of the channel will be selected from the newly established company, and plans to add three to five columns to the channel."

The meeting ended at around eleven o'clock and Chen Shiping packed up and left the meeting room.

We will also go to the movie channel for inspection in the afternoon, and many media will be there.

Anyway, he doesn't have time to appease the sullen chairman.

Go back to the office and adjust your mood!
Why don’t you just be a mascot? The chairman is so ignorant!
If he is not sensible, don’t blame Chen Shiping for making him sensible!
I haven't seen you achieve anything in the past ten years of work, so don't try to act like a big shot!
The next day, in the director’s office of Beijing Film Studio.

Han Laosan fell into deep thought as he read the news about China Film in the newspaper.

Our newspaper reports that Chen Shiping, general manager of China Film Group, said during a recent inspection of the film channel that China Film plans to re-plan its existing business and integrate resources in the short term.

Enterprise development is not a simple addition or subtraction. The integration of movie channels is to better reduce the bloated structure of the group.
Han Laosan put the newspaper aside after reading it.

What was written in the newspaper was not as much as he knew, but what was in the newspaper meant a certainty.

Resource integration and re-planning.
Inside the group, there was a rumor that Director Tong had forced through a project investment while Chen Shiping was away. However, the development route to the outside world was completely opposite, and there were many problems.

The higher-ups approved Chen Shiping's proposal and encouraged it, without mentioning a word about Mr. Tong's investment. This is a signal.

Lao Tong, Lao Tong, you are even more miserable than me!

Han Laosan knew that Chen Shiping had won again this time.

In the future, he will really have the final say on China Film Group.

Han Laosan was not surprised either. Who is Chen Shiping?
A leading figure in the domestic film industry!
What achievements does Lao Tong have to compare with Chen Shiping!

Not to mention comparing with Chen Shiping, even comparing with himself, Lao Tong is no match for him!
When he was working as a deputy director at Emei Factory, Lao Tong was not even a deputy director yet!

But this is just a naive idea. Han Laosan naturally knows that there is a reason why others were able to be promoted.

This reason is exactly what Chen Shiping does not have.

All in all, Mr. Tong has not worked for a few years longer than Chen Shiping. He graduated in 1982 and entered the film industry, four years earlier than Chen Shiping.

But these four years are no longer a concept.

But it's no use now, Tong Dong still lost this time.

China Film Group is an enterprise and it needs to develop!
If it were any other unit, Mr. Tong might not have lost.

Unfortunately, this is a business, and a large business that has just been merged and is in urgent need of stable development!

Talents like Chen Shiping are the most urgently needed people at this moment!
However, Han Laosan felt a headache when he read the development strategy that Chen Shiping announced in the newspaper.

He felt that Chen Shiping was targeting the companies in Beijing Film Studio.

Han Laosan now also has to think about which branches of the Beijing Film Studio will be used by Chen Shiping.

Although China Film Group holds 100% of the shares of Beijing Film Studio, as the director of the studio, he naturally has to consider the studio.

A group is a group, a factory is a factory, Beijing Film Academy belongs to China Film Group, but it cannot be China Film Group itself.

Now that Chen Shiping has taken over the movie channel, the television art creation center will also be taken away by him.

Who knows what else will be taken away in the future.

However, Han Laosan was still quite happy. All three production companies of China Film Group were placed on the movie channel by Chen Shiping.

After China Film Group, the only remaining production units are Beijing Film Studio and Children's Film Studio!
The businesses of the Children's Film Studios do not overlap, which means that the Beijing Film Studio is the only production base for the entire group!
Invisibly, the importance of Beijing Film Studio in the group has risen again! Even if the group wants to absorb Beijing Film Studio, it can't!
The old director Chen Shiping still considers the Beijing Film Studio.

Han Laosan feels that he might be able to join the board of directors in two years!
So following Chen Shiping’s footsteps is the best choice!

Chen Shiping doesn't have any of his own people in the group now, so isn't bringing Mei Juan over this time just to train his own people?
It’s okay to train Meijuan, so it shouldn’t be too bad for our third brother!
At this time in the Television Art Creation Center, Mei Juan was sorting out materials and preparing to go out and work on her own.

Chen Shiping had informed her before he left and asked her to be prepared.

Meijuan is very excited now!
Get movie channels instantly!

It’s a satellite channel of the same level as CCTV!

Although the movie channel still belongs to the General Administration, the operating rights have been handed over!

China Film Corporation does not have such talents, and Chen Shiping is in charge of the film channel.

So doesn't it mean that Mei Juan will be the one in charge of the movie channel?
In the past it was just production, but now with a TV channel, it’s like the boss of a film and television company suddenly becoming the director of CCTV!

This is so delicious!

Master is so awesome!

At this time, Chen Shiping was communicating with people from China Film Group's 123rd Production Branch about the merger issue.

The three branches produced few films and the quality was not high. The establishment of these three companies was purely a personnel and factional issue.

But Chen Shiping doesn’t care about that now. He is the chairman, so how can he care about the managers of you subordinate companies?
People in the three branches also knew that there was no escape and merger was inevitable.

Now we need to fight for who will become the main management after the merger.

However, Chen Shiping's next words made their thoughts come to nothing.

"We are still considering the list of management team for the movie channel. We need experienced and capable people who are familiar with the TV station."

The managers of the three companies were confused.

They are all in the film industry, they have nothing to do with TV stations. To put it bluntly, it is Mei Juan and her team!

What else to choose!

Just order it directly!
Chen Shiping only informed them and did not discuss it with them.

If you are not convinced, just transfer away. The trading company under the group is in need of a warehouse manager. If you really don't want to work, go and be a manager in a catering company.

Besides, the production department is also very important, don’t always think about being a manager!

A TV channel can’t just show movies every day!

There are 24 hours in a day, how can we keep showing movies all the time? No matter how many movies there are, there won’t be enough.

The movie channel has been showing movies for almost two years since last year.

The film library has been drained!
A week later, the Television Art Creation Center of Beijing Film Studio officially merged with the three production companies.

Named China Film (Beijing) Television Art Production Company, it is mainly responsible for the operation of the film channel and the production of television programs and television movies.

Chen Shiping will remain as temporary manager, and Mei Juan will take over when the time is right.

The three branches of China Film Corporation merged, and the first task assigned by Chen Shiping was to go out and make a film!

The group has allocated five million to shoot five TV movies. It will uphold the original intention of supporting young directors, shoot positive films, and be bold in innovating and trying different genres!

In addition, some programs must be launched to reduce the screening time.

Otherwise, no matter how fast you shoot, it won’t be as fast as it should be.

At the same time, Chen Shiping also wants to use the platform of the movie channel to introduce movies from other Asian countries to strengthen cooperation!

The movie channel is of great use to China Film Group!

Chen Shiping will be of great use in the future!

After these things were settled, China Film Corporation temporarily returned to peace.

Chen Shiping didn't have time to engage in intrigue with him, nor would he waste his time on this.

If you want to have a say, you have to increase your importance!
Chen Shiping didn't want to join the ministry, so he just needed to make himself a unicorn.

Make your position irreplaceable, and even if Director Tong comes up with some fancy moves, all he can do is watch!

What China lacks the least is people like Mr. Tong, who are dispensable.

But where can you find someone like Chen Shiping?
There are certainly capable people who can take over his position now, but how many of them can confidently say that they can make great strides forward on this basis?

How could someone with such ability come to China Film Group? They are busy joining the ministry or going to sea!

Chen Shiping is to the entertainment industry what a master in the scientific research field is to him. If Chen Shiping is replaced, this project will have to be stopped!
Therefore, Chen Shiping needs to increase his own importance!
Big Ships and Uncharted Waters is that opportunity!
