Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 368 Anxious Feng Xiaoning

December 25th.

Emergency Landing held its premiere in Shanghai!

The scene was lively and star-studded.

Many celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau attended the event.

However, none of the actors under China Film Group went, and no one invited them.

On the night of the premiere, after the movie ended, there was thunderous applause in the premiere theater.

The movie received mostly positive reviews, the only thing I wasn't very satisfied with was that the special effects were a bit crude.

But the pace and story of the movie are very good.

Early the next morning, newspapers across the country reported the premiere of the emergency landing.

But the box office results haven’t come out yet, so everyone can only praise it for now.

The director Feng Xiaoning also went to the cinema to watch the film the day after tomorrow, and he was still a little nervous after watching it.

The movie was really good, and with the huge publicity for the movie, he was worried that he would really suffer a Waterloo the day after tomorrow!

I don’t know if there will be a Waterloo, but it snowed in Beijing today.

Feng Xiaoning always felt a little uneasy and anxious.

After reading the evaluation and publicity of Emergency Landing in the newspaper at home, he still couldn't sit still and went directly to China Film to find Chen Shiping.

My dear Mr. Chen, others are about to take off, and you are still sitting there!
Get nervous and fuck him!
This is my first time shooting a blockbuster, I don’t want to lose!

Feng Xiaoning has never lost in all these years of making movies!

I win awards every time!

This time we are making a commercial film, so we have to get box office success!

I have to make hundreds of millions at the box office to do myself justice!

In the general manager's office of China Film Corporation, Feng Xiaoning looked at Chen Shiping who was reviewing documents and wanted to speak several times but held back.

The emergency landing was so noisy, but there will be almost no movement the day after tomorrow.

Although I know that the group will have follow-up publicity, I am still anxious when looking at the public opinion now.

Chen Shiping looked at the document in his hand, checked it once to make sure it was correct, and signed his name. He looked up at him and said, "Don't worry. The key is the quality of the film. You have to have confidence in yourself."

"That's true, but the emergency landing was widely publicized, so how could we not be anxious?"

Feng Xiaoning asked anxiously, "Do you want to exert more strength?"

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "You are really too nervous. Even if the box office is not good, you will not be asked to pay for it."

"Losing money is a small matter, but losing face is a big matter!" Feng Xiaoning sighed and said, "From the day after tomorrow, the project was launched with the goal of competing with Emergency Landing. Now, they have already thrown their fists, and I haven't even put on my shoes yet."

"Haha, that's perfect, those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes!"

Chen Shiping was very optimistic. It was just a movie, and even if it failed, it would not affect him.

Besides, how could we fail?

If you want to strike a blow to Shangying's arrogance, you have to be fair and make him convinced!
Therefore, Chen Shiping did not have any problems with the distribution and scheduling of Emergency Landing.

The main focus is on atmosphere!
Feng Xiaoning looked at Chen Shiping and couldn't help asking, "Can the opening film of the Asian Film Festival next year be shown the day after tomorrow?"

"No." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "The Asian International Film Festival is still mainly for art films. We are not short of money. Why should we imitate Berlin and make it weird?"

“Fame, hype!”

"Don't worry, I'm very confident!"

"Okay, I don't care then. Don't blame me if you lose."

Chen Shiping smiled and shook his head. Who did he take him for?
At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Han Laosan came in with a document. He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Chen, is it convenient now?"

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "It's convenient. Come in and sit down."

Seeing this, Feng Xiaoning said, "Then I'll leave first. I have a few interviews this afternoon."

"Director Feng, don't worry." Han Lao San walked in and said with a smile, "The box office for the premiere of Emergency Landing is out. Don't you want to know?"

Feng Xiaoning immediately sat back down and asked anxiously, "How much?"

"The first day, 7.7 million!" Han Laosan said with a smile.

Feng Xiaoning stood up and said, "More than seven million?! Isn't that going to exceed one hundred million soon?"

Han Laosan walked up to him and said with a smile: "This is normal, not much. It depends on his box office today."

"Isn't more than seven million a lot?"

Feng Xiaoning was speechless. In the eyes of these people, is it considered good if the revenue exceeds 10 million on the first day?

I don’t want to play anymore, I’m leaving!

After seeing Feng Xiaoning off, Chen Shiping smiled and said, "It's really not that much. After so many days of promotion, this amount of box office is nothing. Director Feng is too nervous."

Han Lao San nodded and said, "Yes, this is the detailed box office data for each region. Shanghai has the most, followed by Jinling and Yangcheng."

"I guess it's them." Chen Shiping took a look at the detailed data and said, "Keep paying attention. Let me know when the overseas results come out."

"No problem." Han Lao San took out another document and handed it over, saying, "By the way, this is the list of Western films I inspected. They are all selected according to your requirements."

Chen Shiping took it and looked at it. He couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Why are these names so weird?"

"The ones that are randomly translated are all movies from small companies, and most of them are movies from independent film companies."

Chen Shiping looked at the original English names again and confirmed that they were all garbage before he said, "Not bad, go and negotiate first, don't rush to send it up for approval."

"Do you want to publish the news?"

"Of course, now it's their turn to be anxious."

Chen Shiping leaned back in his chair and smiled, "If they don't import it in China, no other place in Asia will import it, except for those disobedient ones in Southeast Asia. This is a huge income, conservatively tens of millions of dollars. I don't believe they are not in a hurry."

Han Laosan also laughed a few times, and then whispered: "Someone contacted me."

"From Hollywood, right?" Chen Shiping said with a smile, "Go meet them and see what conditions they offer."

"Well, do we still need to investigate the previous matter of Vice President Wang?" Han Lao San asked uncertainly.

Chen Shiping nodded, and after a few seconds he said, "Huaxia will be listed on New Year's Day, and there will be troubles by then. You should deal with it quickly. If you have any evidence, hand it over immediately and take the person away directly to give Huaxia a grand opening gift!"

Han Laosan twitched his lips and said, "This gift you gave is really nice."

But don't forget that you are still the leader of China.

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he looked at Han Lao San and said, "Do you know why we transferred you in so urgently?"

"know."

"Well, then get ready. I'll bring up the matter in China later. I don't have time to take care of it."

"Yes, I promise!"

The two chatted for a while before ending the topic and going out together to check on Hua Xia's preparations for issuing a new company.

At this time at the Beijing Film Studio, Mei Juan was standing in the director's office, directing people to change the chairs.

The administrative staff were all confused. This chair was the high-end leather boss chair that Director Han had just replaced not long ago! How could it be replaced with a worse chair?

The seat that Mei Juan replaced was the one that Chen Shiping had sat on before, and the seat that Chen Shiping sat on was the one that Song Heng had originally sat on.

This chair is more than ten years old.

But the quality is good, just a little old. Han Laosan replaced the chairs and put them in the warehouse. Fortunately, none of them were thrown away, otherwise Meijuan would not be able to replace them.

After they changed and went out, Mei Juan sat on the chair, touched the armrest and said with a sigh, "It's really more comfortable than when I secretly sat there before!"

Mei Juan was humming an unknown tune, feeling very happy, and finally sat in this seat.

Although he is the acting factory director, it won’t be difficult to remove the word “acting” if he performs well next year.

However, Beijing Film Studio has now become a subsidiary of China Film Group, and the position of director is not as valuable as when it was independent.

Mei Juan turned around in her chair, picked up the landline and called Chen Shiping's office at China Film Corporation.

But after a few rings, the phone was picked up by Secretary Li.

"Hello, this is the office of the general manager of China Film Group. Who are you?"

"Xiao Li, I'm Mei Juan. Isn't my master here?"

"I'm out inspecting work. I'll pass on anything you need."

Mei Juan said disappointedly: "It's okay. By the way, don't tell anyone about my phone call."

After she finished speaking, she hung up. Unfortunately, she didn't hear Chen Shiping call her Director Mei.

Mei Juan sat in the office for a while and then went out for a walk.

Inspect the work in the factory and listen to everyone calling you Director Mei!
But Director Mei sounds like there is no director at all.

It's a bit unlucky.

Let them call Director Mei Juan!
On the other side, after Chen Shiping inspected the preparation progress at Hua Xia Distribution Company, he slipped away from get off work.

It’s getting late, so I went to check on the fat boy at home who has recently learned to speak a few words.

When Chen Shiping arrived at Chen Hong's place, he saw her holding her child and making a snowman in the yard.

"You have a big heart." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Chen Hong chuckled, grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping didn't even dodge, and the snowball broke apart halfway through its flight.

"You got off work so early today? What would you like to eat in the evening?"

Chen Hong wiped her hands and quickly changed the subject, fearing that Chen Shiping would retaliate against her.

"Whatever, just eat something hot." Chen Shiping walked up to his son, picked him up and asked, "Do you miss your dad?"

"Sister, yes."

"."

The scene of loving father and filial son ends here!
Chen Hong was laughing beside him. She took her son from his arms and said, "You don't come here every day. He doesn't rely on you yet."

Chen Shiping snorted and pinched the fat boy's nose, then hugged Chen Hong and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"I have one too~"

"No more playing, let's go!"

"Ha ha!"

I say I don't want to, but how can I really not want to?

Chen Shiping carried her to the bedroom, but before he could do anything, she turned over and pressed him down.

Chen Hong was not polite at all. She said that she didn't miss him, but her actions were very impatient.

The two of them didn't come out of the bedroom until after seven o'clock.

The fat boy is still sleeping soundly.

All he does all day is eat and sleep. People say he is obedient and easy to take care of, but I also think he eats and sleeps too much.

Chen Hong tied her hair up and went to the kitchen. Looking at the casserole that was still bubbling, she turned off the fire.

It's been stewing for over an hour.

At dinner, Chen Hong drank her soup and said, "The house I bought last time has gone up in price, and someone wants to buy it. Do you think I should sell it?"

"Lack of money?"

"No shortage."

"Then why sell it?"

“I just want to count the money.”

"."

Chen Shiping was also speechless. What kind of hobby is this?

After the two chatted for a while, Chen Hong changed the subject and asked, "Will you accompany me home on New Year's Day this year?"

"Didn't you tell your mother that I was dead? Aren't you afraid that your mother will become a ghost for me?" Chen Shiping asked with a smile.

Chen Hong hit him and said, "I'm serious, don't joke!"

"Okay, but it's hard to say. It's not easy to make this matter public."

"We'll just have a private meal together and say we're just friends. No one will say anything."

"no problem."

As Chen Shiping drank his soup, he thought that the situation would be quite awkward.

They are friends, but the key point is that her parents are not stupid.

But it’s better than the child’s father actually dying.

Chen Shiping didn't want to die young.

Forget it, don’t think about it, just eat and go to sleep!
The next morning, when Chen Shiping got up, Chen Hong had already prepared breakfast.

Chen Shiping looked at Chen Hong who was busy at the dining table, and couldn't help but said to the fat boy in his arms: "Is your mother pretty?"

Chen Hong looks heart-warmingly beautiful even without any makeup, with her hair tied up casually, full of femininity.

Chen Shiping was particularly grateful for his shamelessness back then, otherwise it would have been a shame to miss such a good woman.

After breakfast, when Chen Shiping was packing up to leave, Chen Hong came over, kissed him and asked, "Will you come again tonight?"

"Come on, the winner was still undecided last night."

"Tsk, after all these years, you were able to beat me in the first two years."

"Then wait till tonight!"

Chen Shiping hugged her, kissed her, and went out to work.

I have to arrange the screening for the day after tomorrow today.

I don’t know what the box office of Emergency Landing was yesterday. If it had exceeded 10 million yesterday, the final box office might have been over 150 million or even more.

But it can't be much higher, as there is competition in this year's Lunar New Year box office.

Unlike previous years, there is only one blockbuster movie released during the Lunar New Year period, which can seriously attract box office revenue.

After Chen Shiping arrived at the company and sat for a while, Secretary Li came in with the documents to be processed today.

By the way, I would like to report on the box office of Emergency Landing yesterday.

"Emergency Landing's box office was 10.8 million yesterday! According to predictions, the final box office may exceed 180 million!"
