Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 339: Surrounded by wolves!

Office of the General Manager of China Film Group Corporation.

Chen Shiping was working on documents when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and before he could say anything, he heard a burst of intensive Shanghainese voice coming from the other end.

Chen Shiping frowned and listened for a few seconds before hanging up the phone.

Although he didn't understand it, he still understood a few words.

This is cursing and threatening him!

I knew that what he said at the meeting would offend people if it got out.

Disney involves billions of dollars of investment and construction, and there are so many interests involved.

From 1994 to now, I don’t know how long it has been planned and how many people are involved in the conflict of interest.

There are more than one or two sensitive people.

However, Chen Shiping didn't expect that they would call and threaten him.

Damn, he’s so brave!
Chen Shiping picked up the phone and dialed another number. The call was quickly connected and he told her what had just happened.

The other party obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen. He hung up after comforting Chen Shiping with a few words.

After Chen Shiping filed the complaint, he no longer cared about the matter.

I didn’t complain because I was afraid, but just wanted to let my leader know how difficult my life is.

Even personal safety has been threatened!

How rampant those people are!

Chen Shiping really wasn't worried about those people. If they really wanted to take revenge on him, they wouldn't have called him.

Just incompetent and furious.

I guess it was someone with connections who acquired the land and was ready to make a fortune.

That's all I have.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but shake his head, probably because he had invested all his fortune in the land.

The real estate market is starting to heat up now, and even if there is no Disneyland, the land over there should be worthwhile.

However, if that piece of land really remains vacant for more than ten years, the surrounding land will not increase in value.

If you calculate it this way, the impact is indeed quite large.

The main reason is that those people don’t know that even without Chen Shiping, Disney would not be able to succeed.

Now that they are restarting the negotiations, Chen Shiping came up and hit them with a stick. Who else can we blame but him?

It's a good opportunity to find someone to take the blame.

Chen Shiping was also quite helpless. He was also afraid that he, as a butterfly, might accidentally change history.

The Asian film market is doing pretty well right now. If Disney pays more attention to it, maybe once they make some concessions, they’ll get approval from the higher-ups.

Chen Shiping doesn't want to take any risks.

The fifth Disney theme park must not be located in Shanghai, or even in Asia.

Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland have already nailed down two nails in the Asian cultural and tourism market.

If Disney can hammer home one more nail in Shanghai, its presence in Asia will be complete.

In the future, these three parks will continue to influence Asian culture, art, and tourism.
Don't underestimate a theme park; it makes more than just money from ticket sales and expensive food.

When all children and women dream of going to Disney, Disney's culture will indirectly influence many industries.

By that time, Chen Shiping’s cultural tourism business will not go overseas, but will just focus on small-scale domestic business, such as building a high-end version of Fantawild or Dinosaur Park, to reap some of the demographic dividend.

So considering all aspects, Shanghai Disneyland cannot be successfully applied for!
He must be strangled to death!

In the future, Chen Shiping will destroy the Disneyland in Tokyo and Hong Kong.

There’s a long way to go!
Let’s take it one step at a time!
Three days later, Chen Shiping attended the charity launch of the fairy tale collection organized by the Children's Publishing House.

China Film Group is a sponsor.

The Princess series of fairy tale collections are on sale in all regions of the country, and all collections are 50% off.

At the same time, more than one million books will be donated free of charge to schools in some areas.

As soon as the news came out, China Film Group made headlines.

[China Film Group helps children grow and gives away fairy tale collections for free! ]

[Xinhua Bookstores across the country are selling the book at the same time, and children under 14 years old can enjoy a 50% discount on all purchases.]

[Buy Mulan movie tickets and get a free fairy tale collection! ]

After the news came out, it caused quite a stir.

Millions of books are given away for free, and a storybook is given away with the purchase of movie tickets?

And it’s half price when you buy it normally!

With such a large-scale giveaway and promotion activity, at least tens of millions of copies will be sold. China Film must have spent tens of millions on this!
What's the point of spending tens of millions?

Many people in society don't quite understand. As a movie maker, why do you need to make fairy tales?

At this time, fairy tale books were displayed in major Xinhua bookstores and cinemas across the country.

There were a few customers at Victory Cinema who were asking if they could get their tickets for free since they had bought them earlier.

The theater manager smiled and said, "As long as you bring your ticket stub, we'll give it to you!"

"I bought three tickets, how many copies do I get?"

"Three tickets, three books!"

Many books are also being transported by trucks to many poor areas in the country.

These books that are given away actually have the worst economic benefits.

The economic development in some places is too backward. Even if all those children are trained to become fans, they may not be able to be converted into paying users in the future.

But Chen Shiping didn't care and just treated it as charity.

This is really charity, but those with a keen eye guessed that this is a big game played by China Film Group.

First they built a digital base, and now they are creating fairy tales. There must be ulterior motives.

However, people who are not in this circle do not know the specific plans of China Film.

At this time, Shanghai Film Group was very helpless after seeing the news. China Film was too unethical.

The entire film strategy relies solely on money!
Damn, who can compare to this!
The key is that they can't afford such a strategy. China Film Group is pursuing a long-term strategy, and the early stages are to spend money to cultivate the market.

China Film Corporation can invest tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, into the market without asking for any return.

They are rich! With the books donated now, the box office revenue of Mulan can make up for most of it.

There is even affluence!

They really have a lot of money.

If it were another factory, and they spent tens of millions on these things, the factory would go bankrupt!
China Film Corporation’s wealth and power is really enviable!
China Film Group really has no shortage of money, and it will not distribute dividends to shareholders no matter how much money it makes.

Chen Shiping doesn't feel sorry at all when spending money.

Shanghai Film Group is a bit numb now. How can it catch up with China Film?
I can't catch up at all!

China Film Group focuses on the next generation, with the main goal of starting from childhood.

Wait a few more years, and these kids will grow up and become a huge number of die-hard fans.

There is really no fucking solution!
Tired, destroy it!

At the same time, overseas publishing plans also began.

In most countries and regions in Asia, either the authorization is free or the books are given away directly.

If you don't want it, I'll force it on you!
As long as we get the publishing license from abroad, Chen Shiping can give as much as he wants, and you can do whatever you want with your own money!

Movies released by China Film Corporation are promoted in all overseas cinemas and magazines.

If you don’t make money, you can earn publicity!
It will all come back in the future! If it doesn’t come back in five years, it will come back in ten years.

While Chen Shiping was busy spending money everywhere, Disney was still negotiating with Shanghai.

Disney really wants to implement the project as soon as possible.

As soon as China Film Group’s fairy tale charity program was launched, they knew what it meant.

If we don’t hurry up and settle in Shanghai now, once China Film Group develops in a few years, the Asian market may be snatched away!

The people at Disney are not fools. They have invested heavily in Tokyo and Hong Kong in order to develop a presence in the entire Asian market.

This interruption by China Film Corporation may very likely abort their plan.

Disney's development strategy is to expand globally. If they have placed a heavy bet on Asia and this is ruined by China Film, what will happen in the future?

Although the GDP of various regions in Asia is not as high as that of Europe and the United States, there are many people.

This is a huge market that no one can ignore.

How can you expand your business if you don’t focus on the future?

Disney and Shanghai are in active negotiations, and Shanghai is also working hard to get it.

Now they hit it off and made concessions in many aspects.

If Chen Shiping hadn't interfered, Disney might not have been so nervous.

Anyway, China's cultural industry is in a terrible state, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

But it is different now.

How come a person like Chen Shiping suddenly appeared, who has vision, pattern and means.

Not only is Disney nervous, Hollywood is also nervous.

The Asian market is almost being turned into an iron bucket.

Everyone in the world knows that the European and American markets have reached a bottleneck, and the market with the most potential in the next 20 years will be the Asian market.

It's too late to pay attention now.

We can’t just focus on the African market and open an open-air cinema!

Disney’s idea now is very simple, even if Shanghai’s current GDP does not meet the opening standards, it must open!

If you don’t open it now, you will never have the chance in the future.

The interesting thing is that no one, either at home or abroad, doubts whether Chen Shiping can create a complete cultural and entertainment industry chain.

This guy has never failed.

They were able to fight their way out even when the Chinese market was so bad more than ten years ago. Now that conditions are so good, they will definitely be even more powerful.

Hollywood has done research and found that the Asian film market now has one superpower and many strong players.

China Film Group is the super one, but the others are strong, but not that strong.

Japanese films are not well developed, Korean films are just getting started, Indian Bollywood has too many limitations, and Iranian films are only strong in art films.

They can’t beat China Film at all. Sooner or later, the Asian market will become like China Film.

It’s difficult. We must pry open the Chinese market, allow more Hollywood movies in, and then scatter Chinese-language movies!

Only by destroying the foundation of China Film Group can we break the basis of their rise.

Chen Shiping now also feels like he is surrounded by wolves.

Not to mention those people in Hollywood, even the little brothers in the Asian market are eyeing him covetously.

South Korea has already shouted the slogan of saving the country through culture and entertainment, and has developed the entertainment industry as a pillar industry in South Korea.

Bollywood is also increasing its output and wants to develop the areas surrounding India into its own territory. Hollywood won’t let it in, and neither will China Film!
Hollywood is also trying to pry open China's borders. One of the conditions for China's accession to the WTO was to open up its media market.

Why should such a big country focus on film and entertainment?

Isn’t it for the purpose of exporting culture and raising dogs remotely?

Chen Shiping is under a lot of pressure, and he also has to be on guard against attacks from some domestic factories from behind.

Shanghai Film Group is still fighting with the higher authorities for the right to import films.

It really hurts my head.

They are really ungrateful. China Film Corporation worked hard to build the market for them, and they just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. They even come here to sabotage them!
Instead of working together to expand the Asian market and defeat others, they just focus on doing harm to their own people!

Shanghai Film Studio always does this, and Chen Shiping is really annoyed.

If a tiger doesn't show its power, people will think it is a sick cat!

If you want to export the movies of Shanghai Film Studio to other countries in the future, go and have fun on your own!

Don’t ask China Film Group to distribute your film!
Even during the domestic release schedule, we have to compete with Shanghai Film Group!
Damn it, I'll beat you up first!
Isn't it about fair competition?!
Come on, give it a touch!
The big production of Shanghai Film Studio this year is Emergency Landing, and that of Shanghai Animation Studio is The Lotus Lantern.

Chen Shiping is going to fight them!
You’ve lost all your pants, let’s see how you’ll be able to jump around in the future!

The shooting the day after tomorrow needs to be accelerated, as it will be on the same schedule as the emergency landing! Just let you have a hard landing! What the hell is the emergency landing!
You want to play the Lotus Lantern too, right? Then let’s give Frozen a try!
Even though the story of The Lotus Lantern is more suitable for Chinese audiences, China Film’s publicity and promotion are no pushover!

The investment in publicity and promotion has doubled! We will crush the Lotus Lantern even if it means hard work!
The cinema schedule will also crush them!

In the Children's Factory, Chen Shiping was talking about movies with Feng Xiaoning.

"Director Feng, are you interested in being the director of The Day After Tomorrow?" Chen Shiping asked with a smile.

A must have!

Feng Xiaoning immediately said, "Yes, I do have some understanding of disaster movies."

Chen Shiping smiled and said: "The Day After Tomorrow is different from what you filmed before. It mainly reflects the destruction of disasters, the powerlessness of mankind in the face of nature, and mainly the scenes and special effects.

Your previous film was more about reflecting on environmental pollution from a child’s perspective, and it was more about humanity.”

"The conditions were limited at that time."

Feng Xiaoning said with a smile: "I have always wanted to make a science fiction disaster film, but funding and technology are a big problem."

Chen Shiping patted his shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about funding and technical issues now, but I have one request: we have to finish filming in October!"

“Although it’s a little difficult, I will try my best to do it!”

After Chen Shiping finished making the arrangements, he went to the Beijing Film Studio, and he also had to speed up the production of Frozen.

Otherwise I won’t be able to catch up with the PK with the Lotus Lantern!
Art workshop of Beijing Film Studio.

Song Heng looked at Chen Shiping with a complicated expression and said, "You are going to kill each other with Shanghai Film Group."

"It's not that I want to compete with them, it's that they provoke me again and again."

Chen Shiping said after a breath, "We can obviously work together, but he insists on competing with me. What can I do?"

It’s not that Chen Shiping wants to suppress his own people, he just has no other choice.

The Shanghai Film Studio is so annoying. If we don’t give him a painful beating, he will never behave himself!
There are always people trying to stab you in the back, who the hell can stand that!
If we want to decentralize power, we want the right to import films.

Shanghai is still so active in cooperating with Disney, which is bound to hit the weak spot of Chen Shiping's cultural and tourism plan.

This is really unbearable. Chen Shiping made it very clear during the previous meeting.

Introducing Disney will suppress the local cultural and tourism industry. China Film already has a plan, so we can just wait and see.

I've explained the reason to them, but they still don't listen. They are still actively negotiating with Disney and don't care about China Film's plans at all.

They treated this as a business, and Chen Shiping was competing with them in business!

Every time Shanghai Film Group releases a movie, China Film Group will release one!
Beat you till you go bankrupt!
To fight against foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation!
The factors of internal disunity must be eliminated!

We need to unite more talents.

As a shareholder of Xiying Group, China Film also took the initiative to propose cooperation this time.

Shoot a sci-fi blockbuster.

Night at the Museum!

Let the Terracotta Warriors be resurrected!
Charming ancestor, open your eyes and take a look!
