Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 36 Shocked! Learn from Shiping-san! (Please read~)

In the dark auditorium, there was only the faint white light reflected from the screen. In the auditorium full of people, all the audience watched in silence as the thick needles drew blood from Xu Sanguan's body.

The red to black blood flows in the transparent infusion tube and slowly fills the shriveled blood bag. This scene under the close-up lens makes all viewers feel the pain of skin-cutting and the powerlessness of life being squeezed out.

When the close-up shot ended and the needle was withdrawn from Xu Sanguan's arm, bursts of relief could be heard in the auditorium, as if their blood was being drawn.

Chen Shiping watched this scene silently and was speechless for a long time, sighing slightly in his heart. This scene always reminded him of what he had experienced in his previous life.

House, job, marriage, wife, children, and parents form an invisible web that tightly binds you. Life will desperately squeeze every ounce of your blood until it drains you dry.

"Fuck! That's a great shot!"

The students in the literature class who were invited by Chen Shiping to watch the movie also felt a power different from words.

Especially Yu Hua couldn't help but curse. The shock of literature turning into a movie made him feel like his heart was beating.

Maybe it's because he likes the novel Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller so much. When the words turn into pictures, the impact makes his blood flow faster.

Mo Yan also felt this way. He felt the same way when he saw red sorghum.

The audience in the auditorium was immersed in the movie, and they were all numbed by those scenes, as if their blood was about to freeze.

Originally, many people were worried that Chen Shiping's first movie might not be that good, but now after watching it, they feel that it is not impossible to hit Cannes!

The movie continued to play, and the auditorium fell silent again. Yu Hua also closed his mouth and watched the movie quietly.

More than an hour passed quickly, and the last scene of the movie lingered on the tears falling down Xu Sanguan's cheeks.

When the lights in the auditorium turned on, no one could get rid of the emotions in the movie. It was quiet for nearly a minute before they burst into warm applause.

The deafening applause almost broke the ceiling of the auditorium. Chen Shiping's heart gradually dropped as he listened to the applause around him. He hopes to hear such warm applause in Cannes next year!

Tian Chongbang, who was beside Chen Shiping, felt inexplicably bitter in his heart when he heard the applause. None of the applause seemed to belong to him, even though he was clearly the director.

There is a green feeling, as if Xu Sanguan raised a son for someone else. No, it might as well be Xu Sanguan. At least Xu Yile only recognizes Xu Sanguan as his father, but now no one recognizes him.

I feel so heartbroken, so sad.

No one knew the sadness in Tian Cangchuang's heart, only his cousin patted him on the shoulder as if to comfort him.

Liu Xiaoqing didn't notice Tian Cangcang's sadness. She was in a state of excitement. This investment was successful! The movie was shot so well!

"I knew Chen Shiping could succeed!" Liu Xiaoqing said excitedly.

Chen Guojun snorted and said sourly: "It wasn't him who took the picture, it was Director Tian who took it!"

After hearing Chen Guojun's words, Tian Bangbang looked back at him gratefully, but then heard Liu Xiaoqing's words.

"He is the author, he is the screenwriter, he is the producer, and he is the co-director, so why can't it be Chen Shiping's work!" Liu Xiaoqing now looks down upon Chen Guojun more and more. He looks down on others even though he has no ability!

Chen Guojun was so rebuffed that he didn't know how to retort. In the end, he could only snort and feel sulky.

Jiang Wen, who was sitting not far away to avoid suspicion, saw this scene and laughed disdainfully. He still had the nerve to say that to Chen Shiping, Liu Xiaoqing invested in two of your movies without making any splash at all?

If it were me, I would have succeeded long ago! This thought stayed in Jiang Wen's mind for a moment and then disappeared. He is an actor, so what can he invest in?

Why not? Liu Xiaoqing glanced at Jiang Wen out of the corner of his eye and felt that if Chen Shiping succeeded, maybe Jiang Wen could too? You may consider investing in him in the future. At this time, Chen Shiping didn't know that the rich investor was ready to abandon him to invest in Xiao Qing'er. He was busy chatting with the new factory director and several senior leaders in the factory.

Hu Qiming, who originally supported Chen Shiping, has withdrawn. Now Song Zhu is the director. After taking office, he used the newly allocated money from the superior to vigorously support the filming of genre films.

Li Shaohong is one of his key training targets, but Chen Shiping is not on this list.

After all, Chen Shiping took a different route. He wanted to produce independently, and the studio didn't have much support.

But I still have to support Xu Sanguan’s movie! This is a work that is designed to win awards and gain recognition in the factory!

At this time, Yu Hua watched from a distance as Chen Shiping was praised by the film studio leaders. He turned to Mo Yan and said, "They are all adapted from novels into movies. If you look at them, then look at you, Zhang Yimo has taken away all the fame. "

Mo Yan: "." I just write books, and Chen Shiping makes movies.

This kid just envied Chen Shiping, and now he was trying to find a balance with himself! Mo Yan rolled his eyes at Yu Hua and was too lazy to talk to him.

The bustle in the auditorium soon dissipated. Chen Shiping chatted with his colleagues in the factory for a few words and then went to see off his classmates in the literature class.

It's too late today, and the film studio is very remote, otherwise Chen Shiping would have invited his classmates to dinner.

Chen Shiping sent the students from the literature class to the factory gate and went back. Beijing Normal University was just across the street and not far away. They walked a few steps and went back.

On the way back, the students in the literature class were discussing the adaptation of the novel into a movie.

In the past, there were cases of successful adaptations of novels such as Furong Town, Children's King, Yellow Earth, Red Sorghum, Garland Under the Mountain, The King of Chess, etc., and now there is Chen Shiping's Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller. These writers are discussing whether it can be done in the future. Adapt your own novel into a movie.

"Do you think we can ask Shi Ping to make our novels into movies in the future?"

"Yes, the charm of movies is also great. Although it does not have as much room for imagination as words bring, the shock of lens art is more direct and intense."

"Mo Yan, after the release of Red Sorghum, have sales of your Red Sorghum family increased a lot recently?"

Mo Yan, who was pointed out, didn't hide it and said with a smile: "It has increased a lot, but not as much as you think."

"That's good too. Every extra copy sold will be paid for the manuscript." Yu Hua said enviously: "The school tuition is more than 3,000 yuan, and my manuscript fees have almost been spent."

When Mo Yan heard what Yu Hua said, he couldn't help but reveal it: "You are paying for it at public expense!"

After hearing Mo Yan's words, everyone laughed, and Yu Hua also grabbed her hair and laughed together.

But tonight's movie viewing has added a different color to this boring study life. Many writers have the urge to learn from Chen Shiping and Mo Yan.

It would be great if my novel could also be made into a movie. I will ask Chen Shiping later.

It's not a producer plus a screenwriter plus a director, so it's right to let him come up with the idea! It would be even better if he could invest!
