Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 320 Chen Shiping can also write fairy tales? !

"Call daddy now!"

Chen Shiping gently poked his youngest son's face with his fingers, with a happy smile on his face.

Chen Hong was leaning on the bed with a headscarf on, looking at them with a smile on her face.

"He was just born, how can he call for help?"

Chen Shiping looked back at her and said, "Why don't you call for him?"

"Get lost," Chen Hong cursed weakly, raised her hand and shouted at him, "Help me sit up. My waist is a little sore. Give me a pillow."

"That's enough." Chen Shiping ran over to help Chen Hong up, lit a pillow, sat down and said, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Chen Hong's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She hugged Chen Shiping and cried, "Do you know how scared I was at that time?"

Chen Shiping patted her on the back and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Chen Hong cried very sadly and cursed a lot of ugly words, scolding Chen Shiping from beginning to end.

After cursing, she let go of her anger and fell asleep in Chen Shiping's arms.

After a while, Mei Juan cautiously pushed the door open and said to Chen Shiping, "Master, you must have been scolded badly."

Chen Shiping patted Chen Hong on the back without saying anything, just gave her a look.

Mei Juan whispered, "The food is ready, and Yue Mu has left. She will come over at seven tomorrow. Don't get up too late."

Chen Shiping nodded and waved goodbye to let her go.

Mei Juan let out a giggle and ran away. She almost died of laughter when she heard Chen Shiping being scolded at the door just now.

However, Mei Juan also felt that Chen Shiping deserved the scolding.

But this is her master, who brought her up and is her only supporter. She can't join in scolding him.

Mei Juan still remembers the first time she went to Venice with Chen Shiping. Everyone had money to go out and play, but she was the only one who stayed in the hotel, and Chen Shiping came over to lend her money.

Although she said she didn't want to go out at that time, it was just lip service after all.

A little girl from the country, who had finally been admitted to university and was then taken abroad to see so many different scenery, how could she not have dreams?

It's just that she didn't dare go out, for fear that she would be unable to control herself and spend the little money she had.

I can only pretend to be busy at work and pretend that I am not affected by external things.

When Chen Shiping appeared at that time, it was really like when she was a child and her father gave her a penny of pocket money at the beginning of the school year.

Although she only had one cent a semester, she was not a child without pocket money.

This is very different.

That time, she used the money given by Chen Shiping to buy a lot of souvenirs, all of which she took home for her family.

Although they are all very cheap, she has gone abroad and it is proof that she has made great progress!
Later on, she was very lucky. She was carefully trained by Chen Shiping, who helped her to reach her current position.

At first, Mei Juan thought Chen Shiping was interested in her, but later she gradually realized that it was not that.

Meijuan was disappointed for a long time, otherwise she would have waited until she was 27 or 28 to start a relationship.

After Mei Juan walked out of Chen Hong's yard, she looked back, suddenly smiled, and silently said thank you, Master.

Thank you for helping me, thank you for giving me the sky to fly, thank you for not keeping me trapped in a cage.

Mei Juan felt quite sympathetic towards Chen Hong. Not because she was giving birth today and no one was with her, but because she was in this small courtyard, hoping to be alone with Chen Shiping all day.

For a man.
Everyone has a different way of living, maybe this kind of life is also good.

Although Meijuan didn't understand, she respected her!
Late at night, Chen Shiping was heating up food in the kitchen. He hadn't done this for a long time.

Chen Shiping stared at the fire, his thoughts flying away. Now he had both a son and a daughter.

He has a wife, a lover, and two children. He has a successful career. He should be able to leave his name in the history of Asian films.

I guess he is a successful person.

Looking back on the past ten years, Chen Shiping feels that his life has not been lived in vain.

Even now.
"Hiss!" Chen Shiping took a breath of cold air and the rising hot steam burned his hands.

It seems that God wants him to live a long life.

Chen Shiping rinsed it with cold water and brought the hot food out.

"It's time to eat! The pigeon soup smells so good!"

"Bring it in and feed me."

"okay!"

Isn't this how we live our daily lives?

At the China Film Group headquarters, Chen Shiping left the office after sitting there for only a short while.

Today I am going to attend a seminar for several fairy tale authors. They have all collected information and are ready to create.

When Chen Shiping hurriedly arrived, the other writers had already arrived.

Yu Hua was sitting at the last seat, and when she saw Chen Shiping was late, she complained about him directly.

"You called me here, but you are late. How can you be so ashamed?"

Chen Shiping smiled apologetically and said to the writers, "I'm sorry, some work has not been completed. I'm sorry."

Everyone just laughed and didn't care.

Chen Shiping took the initiative to sit next to Yu Hua, and then said to Zheng Yuanjie: "Teacher Zheng, you can host it. Yu Hua and I are both laymen in telephone composition. We are here to learn today."

After Zheng Yuanjie said a few polite words, she took the initiative to say:
"Mr. Chen contacted us to create a series of fairy tales with princesses as the theme. The purpose is to promote Chinese culture and Chinese fairy tales to the world, so we must grasp the creation."

While Zheng Yuanjie was giving a long speech, Yu Hua poked Chen Shiping and asked, "You are not writing novels now, but fairy tales instead, for your daughter to read?"

"For everyone's daughter to see."

Chen Shiping directly raised the idea to a higher level, so much so that Yu Hua couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Officials are different, they speak in a high-level manner as soon as they open their mouths!

"Then why did you ask me to come? Aren't you afraid of making people cry?" Yu Hua couldn't help but say.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but want to laugh. This kid has a clear understanding of himself!

I wonder if any readers have written to scold him.

I found Yu Hua because this guy really has a talent for fairy tales!

Yu Hua was the art director for Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Heroes. He made a cartoon that adults watched every day.

The relationship between Luo Xiaohu and Lan Tu is also very good!

Ten thousand times stronger than Feiyangyang and Meiyangyang!
"I asked you to come here to polish these stories and add depth so that adults can also read them. The fairy tales in China are still a bit too childish."

After Chen Shiping explained quietly, he saw Zheng Yuanjie looking over here while talking. Ok, shut up, this is a bit disrespectful.

It’s all Yu Hua’s fault for gossiping about me!

Zheng Yuanjie nodded slightly to Chen Shiping and continued to talk about her creative ideas.

It took him seven or eight minutes to finish speaking.

To sum up, we should pay attention to the relationship between man and nature, man and society, and man and man, criticize society and the existing education system, pay attention to children's growth and adapt to the growth of children's self-awareness.

Chen Shiping quite agrees with these ideas. Fairy tales are just stories, so don't be too preachy.

Liberate children's thoughts, let their imagination run wild, and find happiness in stories.

However, Zheng Yuanjie has to pay attention to too many things and there are too many things she wants to criticize.

Yu Hua took the initiative to speak up at this time: "Teacher Zheng said it well, but I think it should be more refined. It would be better for a short fairy tale to have a more focused and clear theme."

Chen Shiping silently gave Yu Hua a thumbs up, and his good brother immediately saw the problem.

Zheng Yuanjie frowned slightly, looked at Yu Hua and said, "Teacher Yu Hua, fairy tales can be just like traditional literature. Don't underestimate them."

Yu Hua immediately smiled and said, "I don't look down on fairy tales. On the contrary, I admire you all. It's easy to write stories for adults, but it's the most difficult to write something that children like."

Chen Shiping also tried to smooth things over by saying, "I think both of you are right. Fairy tales also have their own humanistic concerns, which cannot be ignored.

But we still start from the perspective of children. If we criticize from the perspective of adults, it is actually a kind of preaching to children.

Teacher Zheng just said something very good, nature! We just follow nature and the world of children. "

After Chen Shiping finished smoothing things over, Yu Hua immediately spoke up, "That's right, Teacher Zheng's summary of the points just now is very good. That's what I just said, too. It should be more focused!"

Several writers in the conference room were led astray by Chen Shiping and Yu Hua and began to discuss specific creative ideas with them.

For example, what should be emphasized in a story with Princess Wencheng as the background?

Princess Wencheng has the best qualities of peace, nature and kindness, but she must focus on one point.

The final discussion came to the conclusion that there was a certain degree of exaggeration, that Princess Wencheng had the ability to communicate with animals, and her blessing could make plants grow more vigorously.

At the same time, the original marriage policy was beautified to a certain extent. It sounds very great, but it is also a helpless compromise.

So the story changed to a story about a foreign prince who came to Chang'an to study and met a kind and beautiful princess.

The prince's country was barren and had been cast under a spell by a wizard. The people were starving and the princess felt very sympathetic towards that country.

So he decided to help the prince and use his abilities to help the people.

It glorifies marriage and emphasizes love and equality.

The story revolves around the princess and the prince embarking on a difficult journey. The wizard learns the news and sends his men to stop the princess. In the end, the princess and the prince will defeat the wizard together.
Zheng Yuanjie does not quite agree with this story structure, thinking it is too simple.

It only reflects the bravery, kindness and intelligence of the two protagonists, but lacks humanistic care and social significance.

Chen Shiping smiled but said nothing. Where is Yu Hua?
Chen Shiping gently touched Yu Hua, and the little fat boy immediately understood.

Yu Hua cleared his throat and said, "It's not that there isn't one, but Teacher Zheng didn't notice that when portraying wizards, they can be portrayed as militants.

Want to rule that land, call for peace and oppose war, and highlight the harm that war has brought to the world."

Zheng Yuanjie looked at Yu Hua with a headache. This guy was much more talkative than her.

But after saying this, it is indeed richer than before and the theme is also higher.

"Teacher Yu is right. I thought it was too simple."

"Teacher Zheng, you are too polite. You are the king of fairy tales. I am just a layman and cannot compete with you."

Chen Shiping feels that Yu Hua is much more real and down-to-earth than many other writers.

He is not the kind of writer who lives in books or celebrity profiles. He is like a friend around you, very real.

After talking about the story of Princess Wencheng, Chen Shiping took the initiative to talk about the story of Frozen.

He wanted to see if these fairy tale authors could give some suggestions. After all, these were foreign stories and needed to be localized.

Frozen is also an adaptation of Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen. Although the two stories are very different, Disney insists that it is an adaptation.

Andersen is a huge IP that can bring in a lot of fans to watch.

Even though I felt that the story was nothing like Snow White after reading it, I was still attracted by the story and fell in love with Princess Elsa.

After Chen Shiping finished telling the story calmly, the fairy tale writers in the conference room were a little surprised.

I think Chen Shiping's story is unexpectedly good and very complete, but it has a stronger Western fairy tale flavor.

Just like the sled dog in the story always said that his owner always spoke with a reindeer accent when speaking on his behalf.

Chen Shiping's story also has a dubbed tone.
"Mr. Chen, your story is very good. Maybe you have read too many Western fairy tales, so it is a heavy imitation. However, the characterization and emotional rendering of the characters are very good."

"That's right. It subverts the traditional prince and princess. The true love's kiss changes from the prince to the sisterly love. This breakthrough is great!"

"The two sisters redeem each other, one fights for love, the other helps the other grow. It's inspiring and adventurous but also full of warmth."

Several writers couldn't help but praise Chen Shiping. Although it was not known whether it was flattery or real praise, Chen Shiping liked to hear it very much.

Yu Hua couldn't help but say, "You can do it. You can write fairy tales well. It's different now that you're a father. You must get inspiration from telling stories to your daughter every day, right?"

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "It's just a random story. What you said is right. It is indeed an imitation. You should be able to hear the shadow of Andersen's Snow Queen."

Zheng Yuanjie nodded slightly and said, "Yes, there is indeed the shadow of the Snow Queen."

Chen Shiping looked at him and continued, "So I want to discuss with you how to make this parody story have a Chinese flavor."

It is not difficult to make changes. Chen Shiping can think of a lot of them himself, but after all, he has never been involved in fairy tale creation, so he is still quite unsure.

Frozen is different from Mulan. Mulan has many versions after so many years of interpretation, and it is a purely adult story, so it was not that difficult for Chen Shiping to write the script.

Well, there is another very important reason, which is that it is difficult for him to calm down and write now.

I’m getting busier and busier now, and I have two kids. I don’t have the energy to write when I get home from get off work.

Yu Hua didn't think too much about it and said with a smile: "As for a tribal princess, she doesn't have to have a historical background. It would be nice to add some magic and traditional elements."

“That’s right, such stories have no historical prototypes and don’t necessarily have to be completely Chinese.

Children are very receptive to fairy tales. They don’t care about the background like adults do. They pay more attention to the wonderful story itself.”

"Actually, adults won't care. I think it would be fine if we just changed the protagonist's name and the way he speaks and his accent."

The discussion among several writers made Chen Shiping realize one thing.

I really don’t understand fairy tales!
Frozen is popular all over the world, and so are Andersen's fairy tales. In fact, the background of these stories is not important, and it makes no difference whether it is a prince or a crown prince.

What matters is the core of the story.

After Chen Shiping figured it out, he looked at them and said, "Then please come up with a name for the two princesses. I will organize people to start preparing for the animation film tomorrow!"

Everyone: “.” Is China Film Group so arrogant?
