Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 324 Mr. Chen, you have to be careful!
Chen Shiping always felt that he was doing what he could and that everything was within his control.

But when things developed to this point today, he found that he could no longer control it, and now the trend was pushing him forward!

He either had to stop completely and leave the results of the previous ten years to rot, or he could be carried away by the tide of the times.

But are we being swept away by this torrent, or are we adding fuel to the fire?

When Chen Shiping thought of this, it was like a fire rising in his heart!

Having laid such a good foundation in the past ten years, I would feel sorry for myself if I don’t work harder now!

Oh shit! Done!
When Chen Shiping returned home in the evening, he spent some time with Chen Hong and then went straight into his study.

He needed to sort out the data of all the optical instrument factories in the country, and then integrate the data of the film machinery factories.

You also need to write a report based on the current development strategy!
Life is about reporting and reporting again!

Chen Shiping's plan this time may involve an investment of more than 10 billion.

Although it is not taken out all at once, such a large amount of money every year must be approved by the D Committee meeting and the board of directors resolution.

So Chen Shiping had to go and talk to his superiors first.

Only with the support of the leader can we do things better. If the leader says something, Mr. Tong has to obey.

Chen Shiping didn't want to argue with Director Tong at the D Committee meeting.

It was a huge waste of time for Chen Shiping to spend energy on intrigue.

In the study, Chen Shiping was buried in his work. Chen Hong came over to see him several times and then left silently.

Although she was in confinement after childbirth, she knew the severity of the situation. It was just a pity that she had to take care of the child alone for a few hours.

Chen Shiping was busy in the study for an unknown amount of time until he heard his son crying outside. He came to his senses and quickly put down his pen and went out.

"Why didn't you call me?" Chen Shiping hurried over and took the child from Chen Hong. Seeing her red eyes and the look of not getting enough rest, he said with some self-blame: "You go to sleep first, I'll take care of it."

Chen Hong hummed, leaned in Chen Shiping's arms for a while before going to sleep.

Chen Shiping changed his son's diaper and fed him before taking him to the study to continue writing.

The brat, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was now full of energy. He lay in Chen Shiping's arms, blinking his big eyes at his father.

Chen Shiping was originally in a somewhat impatient mood, but when he looked at his son's big eyes, he suddenly calmed down.

Don’t be in a hurry. You are still young and you won’t become fat by eating all at once.

I am only thirty-six this year, and I will be thirty-seven after the New Year. It is the best time of my life.

Chen Shiping wrote for a while, and when he saw his son fell asleep with his mouth open and drooling, he put down his pen and went to rest.

The next day, Chen Shiping went to the equipment factory and two optical instrument factories in Beijing to learn about the situation on the spot, and came back in the evening to continue writing.

In the chairman's office of China Film Corporation, Chairman Tong was studying the map of the capital, mainly the map of Huairou.

The group has always had the idea of ​​building a film and television base in Huairou. Chen Shiping has not made any moves recently, and he is a little impatient.

Chen Shiping has achieved a lot in the six months since he took office, but in his opinion they are all minor achievements.

The only word I can say is stable.

Without big moves, how can there be big achievements?
After looking at it for a while, Director Tong came up with a plan in mind and prepared to go to the municipal government to inquire about the situation.

But I was still a little unsure, so I called my secretary in.

"What is Mr. Chen doing recently?"

The secretary immediately said, "We have been visiting various factories for five consecutive days and have also organized two expert meetings."

"What factory? What kind of expert meeting?" Director Tong asked curiously.

The secretary immediately said, "The experts organized by the Equipment Factory and the Optical Instrument Factory are all related to photographic equipment."

Director Tong nodded, wondering what Chen Shiping was going to do.

Is this going to be a reform of the equipment factory?

If it were just a reform of the equipment factory, there would be nothing to worry about.

If he could get the film and television base done well, it would be equivalent to all his achievements this year.

Director Tong said to the secretary: "Please pay more attention to this later."

The secretary nodded and went to the municipal government with Director Tong.

At this time, Chen Shiping was riding in a car heading to Huairou with leaders from the bureau and the department.

"Leader, in my plan, Huairou is going to be a digital film and television base in the future. It is neither wise nor practical to build a large studio now."

Chen Shiping unfolded the planning map in his hand and showed it to the leader. He pointed to an area on the map and said:
"This area is mainly focused on planning digital special effects digital studios and 3D film production bases, which are also the key areas of development in the early stages.

Even if a super-large studio is built now, it is just an empty shell. Without special effects support, it cannot shoot a super-large-scale movie. It can only be regarded as a superficial achievement. "

The leader listened to Chen Shiping's words and nodded silently, while analyzing the plan Chen Shiping mentioned in his mind.

Soon the car arrived in Huairou. After Chen Shiping got out of the car and opened the door for his leader, he smiled and said, "The scenery in Huairou is very beautiful. When I was planning to build a film and television city, I actually considered this place, but in the end I decided to go to Chengde after comprehensive consideration. The city government has been talking to me about this matter for a long time."

The leader smiled and said, "How can I not miss you if you move into someone else's house?"

Chen Shiping laughed and said, "In fact, I am considering that the times are developing very rapidly, and the film and television city belongs to the downstream intensive industry in the film and television industry.

It is not suitable to be placed in Beijing. Beijing should focus on high-tech, which is in line with Beijing's positioning. At the same time, Beijing can also rely on it to retain more talents and create more value. "

The leader walked forward a few steps, looked at the green mountains and clear waters, and said, "Your consideration is correct. The development of an industry is inseparable from the development of science and technology.

Back then, we used to shoot movies with black and white cameras, but now we can see fantasy blockbusters. The advancement of technology has brought about earth-shaking changes in the film industry."

Chen Shiping smiled and said: "You are right, so, I plan to build a digital base at this location.

In the future, we also want to set up an optical instrument factory here to specialize in the research and development and production of top-notch photographic equipment.

We will build a digital projection terminal R&D base and production plant there. The world's cinema is moving towards digitalization, and we must speed up the pace."

Chen Shiping paused for a moment, then stood on the small hill and looked towards the capital and continued:
“Only by relying on our current market size and actively participating in digital research and development can we have the opportunity to join in the formulation of film digitalization standards.

Otherwise, we are waiting for others to make the rules and we just follow them. To put it bluntly, we still don’t have the technology. They just use the Asian market as a voting base. The so-called Oriental Hollywood is just our own bragging. "

The leader walked forward while listening to Chen Shiping's words. After a while, he said, "This is a big project and a very ambitious plan. Are you confident that you can do it well?"

Chen Shiping laughed and said, "If you need me to issue a military order, I will issue one for you now. If you want to hear the truth, I will tell you the truth."

"Tell the truth." The leader's expression gradually became serious.

Chen Shiping nodded, thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, it is very difficult. The West is decades ahead of us in this area. Even the animated films that have only become popular a few years ago have been developed for decades. Various seemingly useless technologies from decades ago have been constantly being innovated. Now is the time to reap the rewards. In three years at most, Hollywood's digital special effects will see explosive growth!"

Chen Shiping couldn't help but touch his pocket for a cigarette, but he forgot that he had no cigarette on him.

The leader's secretary immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him. Chen Shiping took the cigarette and lit it for the leader before lighting one for himself.

After taking a sip, Chen Shiping continued, "We have been developing for too short a time, and film was not an important field in the past. We have always been pragmatic and have been almost blank in terms of technological development.

This is the limitation of the times. Many people did not expect that cultural entertainment would play an increasingly important role in today's world.

It is not too late to develop now, but it is very difficult to complete the journey that others have taken decades to complete in just a few years. We do not have the talent and technology, so we can only develop bit by bit.

I dare not say that I can catch up with them in three to five years, but ten years! Give me ten years! I will definitely catch up with them and surpass them! "

The leader smoked a cigarette and looked at Chen Shiping. He stared at him for more than a minute before saying, "Okay! Go ahead and do it!"

Chen Shiping slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "I dare to issue a military order now."

“Haha, you kid.” The leader shook his head and said, “But within ten years, if you take this path, it will be difficult to move up in the future.”

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "I don't care about that. I can work at China Film Academy until I retire."

The leader patted Chen Shiping on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Good job!"

Chen Shiping has always positioned himself as a practical person!

For people like this in the film and television industry, it would be a waste to get promoted. How can you do anything even if you get promoted?

Chen Shiping didn't care whether he could join the ministry or not, as long as China Film Group could realize all its plans under his leadership.

This will be a company worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. It's so much better than joining the ministry!

By that time, perhaps our brothers in the third world will be calling on China Film Group to come and drive out Hollywood films, just like they are calling for troops to be stationed in their own countries.

After returning from Huairou, Chen Shiping returned to the group.

When he was downstairs, he happened to meet Mr. Tong. Chen Shiping greeted him with a smile and went upstairs.

Director Tong looked at the mud on Chen Shiping's tires and couldn't understand where he had gone.

Finally, he shook his head and went upstairs. He had just had a very good chat with the municipal government. They were very supportive and encouraging in building Huairou into a mature film and television base that could rival the Chengde Film and Television Base!
In this way, the development there will be gradually driven.

Director Tong was in a very good mood. As the chairman, he could finally achieve some results that surpassed Chen Shiping.

People are saying now that if you go to China Film, just look for Mr. Chen. It’s useless to look for the chairman!

He felt uncomfortable too. He still had to stay in this position for a few more years and he couldn't just be a shadow forever.

Being a shadow will affect his future promotion. Passively improving performance is different from actively making achievements.

Only by taking the initiative can you move forward more steadily and higher.

Otherwise, even if you go up in the future, you won’t be able to go too far.

Director Tong returned to his office and began to plan and prepare materials in detail, planning to hold a meeting in a few days to pass his resolution in the group.

Chen Shiping was in his office at this time, leaning back in a chair with his eyes closed. He just felt very tired and wanted to take a nap.

Secretary Li came in and made some tea, then whispered, "Mr. Chen, I heard that the chairman is going to set up a film and television base project."

Chen Shiping hummed and didn't care.

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything else. The leader's reaction either meant he didn't care or wasn't worried at all.

This is such disrespect for the chairman. Xiao Li thinks Mr. Chen may be a little too proud.

You underestimate the enemy!

Be careful that your voice in the group may be taken away again, and you will only be reduced to a tool to do work.

Xiao Li looked at Chen Shiping's tired appearance, sighed silently and left.

Chen Shiping was so tired that he didn't want to move after returning home in the evening. Chen Hong had recovered very well during this period, but her scalp was itchy and she wanted to take a shower.

Chen Hong lay next to Chen Shiping and scratched her scalp using his fingers.

I can't use my hands to touch my hair, it's too oily!

"Are you done with your work?" Chen Hong asked comfortably while scratching his scalp and squinting his eyes.

Chen Shiping took the initiative to scratch her scalp and said, "Well, I'm done, but I've just started."

Chen Hong said "oh" and then asked quietly: "Then can I set up an animation company?"

Chen Hong has also been reading Chen Shiping's planning document recently, and knows where the focus of future development will be. Naturally, she also knows that future policies and places to make money will be in animation.

Chen Shiping opened his eyes, looked at her and said, "Don't do it, you will lose a lot."

"Why? Isn't this the main focus?"

"You don't understand. Animation is just one part." Chen Shiping stretched his neck and said, "Isn't it better to just stay at home and take care of the child's beauty treatment?"

Chen Hong snorted and said, "I'm trying to earn a guarantee for my son. Where are the funds and companies you mentioned? There's still no news."

"Just wait for her to come back from Hong Kong." Chen Shiping said calmly.

Chen Hong stopped talking, feeling both happy and sad.

I did get the insurance, but how come this insurance was provided by Tao Huimin?

They hold the financial power, and you just want monthly salary!
Do I have to greet you again when I see you next time?

Tao Huimin, who was far away in Hong Kong, had also finished these things at this time. She looked at the documents in her hand and turned to Guan Zhilin and said, "Some people become maids once, and they will be maids for the rest of their lives!"

Guan Zhilin was glad that he had never played the role of Tao Huimin's maid.

After Tao Huimin put away the documents, she said, "Let's go shopping. I heard that LV's new winter products are coming out soon."

Guan Zhilin immediately became interested and went shopping with Tao Huimin.

Five days later, Director Tong took the initiative to convene a decision-making meeting of the D Committee and a board meeting.

He met with the team members privately these days and felt 100% sure about the film and television base.

Chen Shiping also received the notice, but he was not in a hurry to attend the meeting. Secretary Li said anxiously beside him: "Mr. Chen, be careful this time!"

Chen Shiping drank his tea as if he didn't hear anything.

Be careful? Be careful about what? Who should he be careful about?
