Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 337 The male protagonist of the novel!

As the New Year approaches, the capital city suddenly becomes lively, with the streets filled with people buying New Year's goods and hurrying on their way with luggage on their backs.

After two days of excitement, the capital city quickly became quiet again.

All the migrant workers have returned to their hometowns.

Accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the past, the sudden silence of the capital city makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The breakfast stall disappeared, and the night barbecue stall also disappeared.
Many restaurants were also closed.

It really makes people spend the New Year with an empty stomach!
Chen Shiping was lying in the sun room in the yard, basking in the sun, while little Xiulin was sitting in his arms chewing on some fried dough twists.

She doesn't eat the cheese sticks her mother buys, she only likes to eat fried dough twists.

But it means your teeth are in good condition and you are healthy.

Chen Shiping wiped the saliva off her face and said, "Give one to Daddy, okay?"

Xiao Xiulin looked at the half-eaten fried dough twist in her hand that was covered with saliva, turned around and stuffed it into Chen Shiping's mouth.

Then he shook his head, took out a new fried dough stick from his pocket and started to chew it happily.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but pinch her face, saying she was so stingy that she didn't even give her a new one.

While Chen Shiping was chewing the fried dough twist, he couldn't help but think of the little one Chen Hong.

I don’t know if I can get the New Year’s money if I go back to Jiangxi. To be honest, I should go there.

But it's really hard to go there without any name or status.

Let Chen Hong talk about it herself. If they come to Beijing later, I will go and meet them myself.

Chen Shiping looked at little Xiulin and felt that time passed very quickly. How come she grew up so big in the blink of an eye?

He is already five years old in terms of age.

I wish time could go a little slower.

But time is so ruthless that it won't slow down for anyone.

After New Year’s Eve, this year’s Spring Festival movie season arrives.

This is the last Spring Festival period of this century, and it has a different meaning for Chen Shiping.

Mulan is also about to be released.

It also means that the Princess Project has been launched, the fairy tale collection will be sold to the public, the first princess animation feature film will be produced, and the digital film and television base will be built this year.
There will be a lot to be happy about this year.

It is also Chen Shiping's summary of this century and the foundation for the next century.

Mulan's promotional activities are very lively. It was once adapted into an animated version in Asia, which has established a certain audience base.

Now China Film Group is making another live-action movie, with Chen Shiping still as the screenwriter and producer, which still has a certain appeal to Asian audiences.

Isn't this how Chen Shiping, the Asian box office record holder, uses his reputation?

The premiere of Mulan was very grand, it was the world premiere.

To be precise, it should be the premiere in Asia. Mainland China will be the first to be released, and Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and other regions will be released two days later than the mainland.

Before the Spring Festival, Cheng Kaige, Li Xiaoran, Chen Zihan and others had already visited various countries and regions for promotion.

However, what many people did not expect was that the most popular member of their group overseas was Chen Zihan.

Chen Zihan has filmed several idol dramas since his debut in his freshman year.

The three idol dramas at that time, Winter Sonata, Full House, and Autumn in My Heart, laid a good audience base for her.

Although she never played the leading female role, but only the supporting female role or the second female role, her accumulated popularity is still very terrifying.

Anyway, the heroine Li Xiaoran is not as popular as Chen Zihan.

There is a saying that goes, movies promote stars and television promotes people.

After starring in so many idol dramas, Chen Zihan has already gained a lot of fame.

Now we have to raise our profile through movies.

If her performance this time is good enough, she might be the heroine of a movie next time.

It’s quite interesting to say that Chen Zihan has never played the leading female role.

Although she is very famous, she is always the second female lead.

In fact, many TV series wanted her to be the leading female role, but she was always busy filming TV series for the factory.

Faced with those high-paid leading actress offers, she refused all of them and instead just honestly filmed in the factory.

Chen Zihan has a very good personality and character. Chen Shiping heard from Mei Juan that there are many investors out there who offer Chen Zihan a salary of 10,000 yuan per episode.

This is not a small amount of money. It is no exaggeration to say that a 30-episode TV series can buy a two-bedroom house.

Chen Zihan agreed to none of them and continued to work as the second female lead in the factory, completing the production plan obediently.

Mei Juan has already said that she would feel embarrassed if she didn't give Chen Zihan the leading female role.

Chen Shiping also admired Chen Zihan's choice.

It is not necessarily that he will become a people's artist in the future.

At this time, the premiere event has already begun at the premiere ceremony.

The good development of the film market has made current publicity and promotion more and more mature.

The premiere featured many elements, including a red carpet with celebrity guests, singing and dancing performances, media interviews and more.

The crew also invited women's martial arts teams from sports schools and martial arts schools to perform.

Chen Shiping also came to attend the premiere.

But they all came here as ordinary audience members, carrying their daughters on their shoulders.

He didn't even go backstage to meet the actors. He was just an ordinary father who took his children to see a movie.

Little Xiulin rode on Chen Shiping's shoulders, flapping his short legs happily, and humming and laughing as he followed the moves of the martial arts performers.

“Haha~”

Little Xiulin screamed and punched Chen Shiping on the head.

Chen Shiping has been "beaten" by his daughter more than a dozen times in this period.

The little fist was soft and didn't hurt, so Chen Shiping just treated it as a massage.

What others saw was a daughter beating her father, but what Chen Shiping saw was a caring little girl giving him a massage.

This is called happiness!
After watching the performance at the entrance, Chen Shiping carried little Xiu Lin into the cinema to check tickets.

There are so many people today that the ticket checking queue is very long.

Many people bring their children to the movies, but not many of them carry them like Chen Shiping.

Little Xiulin grabbed Chen Shiping's hair excitedly and looked proudly at the children around her.

Chen Shiping was having a headache. This girl would definitely be a troublemaker when she grew up.

But it’s better this way, so I don’t get bullied.

When Chen Shiping was carrying his daughter to check tickets, he was recognized by the ticket inspector.

Everyone at the Victory Cinema knew Chen Shiping, and they immediately called the manager over.

Chen Shiping quickly stopped him, saying that he just came to watch a movie and didn’t want to go to work!
However, the manager of Victory Cinema found out about it and came over to take him to the box on the second floor to watch the movie.

Chen Shiping had no choice but to follow him. It would not be nice to cause trouble in front of so many people in the screening room.

But after arriving at the box, Xiao Xiulin refused to do it.

It’s so much fun down there, with so many kids, and there’s no one to play with in the box.

"Dad, I want to go to the first row!" Little Xiulin grabbed Chen Shiping's hair and made a fuss.

Chen Shiping looked at the manager and said, "Okay, I'm going to go down, or my hair will be pulled out."

The manager looked at this scene, smiled and praised it a few times, and asked the waiter to bring some popcorn and drinks.

After reaching the first floor, Chen Shiping went straight to the first row.

There’s nothing I can do about it because my daughter likes it. Good students all like the first row, even though it’s not the best seat for watching movies.

Xiao Xiulin is in kindergarten now. She likes to sit in the first row. If you give her other seats, she will be unhappy.

There were many parents who brought their children to watch movies today, and the noises in the cinema were all caused by the children making noises.

The movie hadn't started yet and no one said anything. The adults were annoyed by the noise, but the children were very happy.

But after a while, when the music started in the cinema, the children quickly quieted down.

Xiao Xiulin also sat quietly, with her hands on her knees as if waiting for the teacher to start class.

Soon the host and the creative team came on stage.

When Cheng Kaige and the others came on stage together, the entire theater immediately burst into applause, and many viewers were shouting their names.

The name Chen Shiping hears most often is Chen Zihan, whose popularity is the highest among the actors.

If the male lead had followed Cheng Kaige's advice and been replaced by Hu Jun, perhaps he would have been the most popular one.

Unfortunately, Chen Shiping did not listen to the advice, and the current male protagonist is still the black boy Chen Kun.

Li Xiaoran and Chen Zihan were dressed very beautifully today, and under the spotlight, they looked as white as glowing.

Chen Kun, the charcoal-looking guy, and Chen Kaige were both overshadowed.

Li Xiaoran is known as a photo-taking killer, but when she stood next to Chen Zihan, she didn't get much attention.

Chen Zihan is not bad looking, although not as stunningly pretty as Jiang Qingqing, but not bad either.

She is tall, has a good temperament for dancing, and her figure and skin are impeccable.

Compared with Li Xiaoran, it’s really not bad.

Chen Shiping looked at the two of them standing together and thought they looked like sisters.

Xiao Xiulin also curiously asked Chen Shi whether the two aunts on the platform were twin sisters.

Chen Shiping pinched her face and asked, "Do you know about twins?"

Xiao Xiulin raised her head and said that there was also a pair of twins in her class who looked exactly the same.

Xiao Xiulin looked at Li Xiaoran and Chen Zihan on the stage again.

He analyzed seriously, "They don't seem to be that similar. They may not be twins."

Chen Shiping laughed and said that children at this age will actively explore and understand the world, which is the most fun time.

Li Xiaoran and others on the stage also noticed Chen Shiping sitting in the front row, and waved to them with a smile.

Xiao Xiulin waved happily in response.

Li Xiaoran and her friends interacted with the audience on stage and sang the theme song together.

After the performance the movie started.

The movie is still very suitable for teenagers, and adults also enjoy watching it.

Although the younger children didn’t quite understand it, they were also attracted to it.

Fighting on horseback is fun!

The audience reactions were very good, both adults and children loved watching it, which shows that there is still a market for live-action adaptations of animations.

Not only that the prerequisite is to lay a good foundation, the children's story must be laid out.

Chen Shiping was thinking about organizing a nationwide children's painting competition on Children's Day.

Just draw the protagonist in the series of calls!

The movie ended very quickly, but many children were still reluctant to leave.

Chen Shiping hugged his daughter and said, "Do you want to go see those two aunts?"

"Yeah! They are so beautiful!" Chen Xiulin said impatiently.

Chen Shiping came backstage with his daughter in his arms. Li Xiaoran and the others hadn't left yet, so they immediately surrounded him and snatched the child away.

Li Xiaoran was so happy that she rubbed Chen Xiulin's face and asked her to call her sister.

"Auntie hello~"

"Call sister!"

"Hello, sister~"

Chen Zihan couldn't help but poke her little face and said, "And me."

"Hello, sister~"

"You are so cute." Chen Zihan couldn't help but gave her a kiss.

Chen Shiping just glanced at them and ignored them. Having someone to help take care of the children was a good opportunity for him to talk to Cheng Kaige about some serious business.

"The feedback from the audience today is pretty good." Chen Shiping said with a smile, "What do you hope the box office will be?"

"At first I thought it would be around 50 million US dollars," Cheng Kaige said with a smile, "but now I feel it might be more than that."

Chen Shiping smiled and nodded, "You are very confident. We will know after today's premiere box office comes out."

After chatting about the box office for a while, Chen Shiping talked about what would happen the day after filming.

"This is a disaster movie, different from all the previous movies. Are you interested?"

Cheng Kaige was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not suitable for me. I can't make this kind of movie."

Chen Shiping tried to persuade him a few more times, but Chen Kaige still refused.

However, he recommended someone to Chen Shiping.

“Ask Feng Xiaoning to take the photo. I think he can do a good job.” Cheng Kaige said with a smile.

Chen Shiping sighed and then remembered Feng Xiaoning.

He is considered one of the first people in China to shoot science fiction disaster movies.

However, Feng Xiaoning's most famous films should be Red River Valley and Yellow River Love.

These two films also used a lot of special effects, and he is a very capable director.

He is really suitable for the job. He has acted in disaster films, war films and children's films. He is good at handling big scenes and has a good imagination.

Chen Shiping hadn't thought of this person before, only remembered it when Cheng Kaige mentioned it.

"Why did you think of recommending him?" Chen Shiping asked curiously.

Cheng Kaige smiled and said, "We met at the Children's Factory the day before yesterday and chatted for a while."

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Children's Factory and ask."

Cheng Kaige nodded and took the initiative to introduce some things about Feng Xiaoning to Chen Shiping.

Feng Xiaoning actually has a pretty impressive family background.

My grandfather was among the first batch to enter D, but he died later.

My uncle was a student of Marie Curie, majoring in nuclear physics at Yenching University. In the end, he was killed because he was unwilling to cooperate with Xiao Ri in weapons research.

My grandfather was a mathematician and educator. Hua Luogeng was his student. He died in the 1960s due to some reasons.

His father was the head of a university department that studied petroleum, but he died in the 1960s due to some issues.

The first film directed by Feng Xiaoning won the Feitian Award for Best Director, and his subsequent works have won awards almost every time.

A few years ago, he bravely saved people and was named one of the top ten outstanding young people by the ministry.

Based on this experience, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the male protagonist of a novel.

After listening to Cheng Kaige's introduction, Chen Shiping became more and more interested in this person.

He was able to make science fiction disaster films in his early years, and was able to grasp the fusion of commercial and mainstream themes in Red River Valley and Yellow River Love. Later, he also made comedies like Raise Your Hands.

Chen Shiping couldn't wait to meet him. Why did he ignore him when he went to the children's factory before?

It's a bit of a waste to put it in the children's factory.

After chatting with Cheng Kaige for a while, when Chen Shiping turned around to take the child home, he discovered that the two girls had abducted Xiao Xiulin!
When Chen Shiping was found, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but say, "I want a child!"

Chen Shiping: “!!!” There’s someone next to you, what are you talking about!
"Give me Xiulin!"

"Isn't the way you want to have a child a little outrageous?"

"I don't care. If you don't give it to me this time, I'll ask for it again in the future!"

Chen Zihan raised his hand silently and said, "I want it too."

Chen Shiping: “.” I can’t give birth myself, if you really can’t, I can help you!
