Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 371: Red and Warm Chen Shiping
In the dim screening room, the screen flickered brightly.

There were constant applause and screams from the audience.

The extreme weather and realistic special effects in the movie stunned the audience, and they couldn't imagine what it would be like if the world really ended one day.

In the private room on the second floor of the screening room, Chen Shiping sat with his legs crossed and cracked melon seeds while looking around the layout of the screening room.

This is a cinema converted from a theater, otherwise it wouldn't have these private rooms and stands.

There are at least tens of thousands of such cinema chains in China, all of which were converted when movies were at their peak.

At that time, almost every unit had its own projection unit.

Whether it is an auditorium or an unused office, basically all of them will be used as cinemas.

However, these later-reformed cinema chains can no longer keep up with the needs of the times and are in an awkward half-dead stage.

This is also one of the reasons why the domestic film market has always been large enough.

Only when there are enough screening units and the ticket prices are low enough can such a large number of moviegoers be retained.

Logically speaking, many cinema chains should be eliminated, but they still have to shoulder the responsibility of the market and cannot be eliminated now.

The viewing conditions in converted auditoriums or theaters are better, but they also face the awkward stage of upgrading.

After taking a look around, Chen Shiping actually quite liked the design of this grandstand box. It was very comfortable and relaxing.

However, from a professional point of view, the viewing experience at this location is not the best, and it also wastes space.

Professional cinemas would not use such impractical designs.

Next year, we will focus on upgrading small screening units and integrating resources, and put the cinema chains converted from auditoriums and theaters on hold for now.

It took only three years to complete the upgrade of all digital cinemas!
When Chen Shiping was distracted, Chen Hong couldn't help but poke him and said:

"The movie is really good, and the realism of the special effects is even better than Uncharted."

"Many of them are real shots, so of course they are real."

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "Now I believe we can make 30 million on the first day, are you still bragging?"

"Here?" Chen Hong couldn't help but hit him coquettishly and said, "What if someone sees us?"

Chen Shiping: “.” I didn’t say it here.

But it’s exciting to think about it.

Old couples also need a little QQ stimulation.

Chen Hong looked at his eyes, couldn't help but wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Just once, don't hum it out."

Chen Shiping rubbed his nose and snorted, then watched her slowly lie down, and suddenly the sound of a zipper was heard.

"Hiss."

Chen Shiping couldn't help but hold on to the armrests of the sofa. It felt really exciting.

The private room is small and the feeling of oppression is very strong!
The soft sofa is full of elasticity and very comfortable in all directions.

The whole person sank into the soft sofa.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but press her head and looked at Chen Zihan's pretty face on the screen.

Phew. It feels even more exciting.

Chen Hong clearly felt that it had grown bigger again, and couldn't help but think that he actually liked this kind of scene.

But it is indeed more fun. I will try it in a different place next time.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Hong couldn't help but hold his arms tightly with both hands.

The little mouth was tightly closed, afraid of revealing anything.

After several dozen seconds, when she felt her pulse stop beating, she raised her head, stared at Chen Shiping with watery eyes, and swallowed hard.

Chen Shiping felt like his soul had been sucked away and he sat there letting out a long sigh.

Chen Hong wiped the corner of her mouth, picked up the Coke, took a sip and spit it into the trash can.

"Are you satisfied, little ancestor?" Chen Hong rolled her eyes at him, cleaned it with paper in her little hands before zipping it up.

Chen Shiping looked at her and smiled like a fool, feeling extremely satisfied.

Chen Hong rolled her eyes at him, then nestled in his arms and looked at the screen and complained, "I can't even follow the plot. What was just happening?"

"The flood flooded the Xiangjiang River, and the protagonist's son was washed away. In the end, he was rescued by the protagonist who rushed over."

"Oh, the actor who plays my son is Liu Bei's adopted son, right? Last time I saw Liu Bei taking him to the factory to play."

"Correct."

"You have a good relationship with Liu Bei."

"Oral friend."

"oral?"

"Ahem. Just ordinary friends."

"Oh, I believe it."

"."

Chen Hong said that she believed it, but her little hands were twisting his waist like turning a switch.

The muscles on Chen Shiping's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and kept smiling as he watched the movie.

It doesn’t hurt, not at all!

More than half an hour passed before the two walked out of the cinema. There were still many people queuing in the cinema to watch the movie.

Most of them go to watch the day after tomorrow.

Thrilling doomsday movies are very popular among young people.

Chen Shiping held Chen Hong's hand and walked on the streets of Nanchang. Looking at the two overlapping shadows under the street lights, he couldn't help but say, "It's been a long time since we took a walk together like this."

"You're a very busy man." Chen Hong leaned on his shoulder, recalled for a while and looked up and said, "Wasn't the last time in 1989 at the Bund? It's been ten years."

"It hasn't been that long. We went shopping together last year."

"It's different. You're bringing your child with you. I said it's just the two of us shopping."

“That wasn’t ten years ago.”

"that is!"

"Okay, okay, I'll spend more time with you in the future."

"That's pretty much it."

Chen Hong snorted, hugged his arm, looked at the elongated shadow under the street light, and said with a smile: "I wonder what we will look like when we are old."

"That's too far away. It'll take another 30 years."

"Thirty years is indeed a long time."

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Chen Shiping held her hand tightly and said, "I want to eat mixed noodles. Let's go have some midnight snack!"

"Yeah, I'm hungry too. I'll take you to a well-known restaurant. The food is really good, but it's a little spicy."

“I can eat spicy food!”

"Don't brag, Jiangxi's food is the spiciest in the country!"

"You Jiangxi people named it yourselves!"

"You won't be so stubborn later!"

Twenty minutes later, Chen Shiping was holding onto the table, his face red from the spiciness and drooling from his open mouth.

"Water, give me some water!"

Chen Shiping was drooling, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and his whole body was red and warm.

Chen Hong held back her laughter and handed over a bottle of soda.

Only after gulping down a whole bottle of water did Chen Shiping feel better.

Too. Too spicy!
Terrible!

Chen Hong wiped him with a piece of paper and said, "Are you still being stubborn?"

Chen Shiping waved his hands quickly and said with a thick tongue: "I was wrong"

Chen Hong burst out laughing, picked up a spoonful of noodles and handed it to him, saying, "Take another bite. Ah. Open your mouth."

"I don't want to eat anymore. I'm dying." "Oh, you can handle spicy food. The food in Jiangxi is not spicy at all."

"You wait for me to eat abalone tonight!"

Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening. She slapped him in shame and said:
"You want to kill me! Then I'll brag to you tonight!"

"Okay, okay, let's hurt each other, right?"

"It doesn't matter if it hurts me, I won't even get out of bed tomorrow!"

"."

The two of them quarreled until they left. Chen Shiping didn't even finish the bowl of mixed noodles he ordered, but he did drink four or five bottles of soda.

Early the next morning, Chen Shiping was still sleeping when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call in a daze, and heard Feng Xiaoning's excited voice on the other end of the line.

"Mr. Chen! Yesterday's box office revenue exceeded 10 million!!"

"Hmm." Chen Shiping suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and asked, "How much? How come it's only 10 million?"

Feng Xiaoning on the other end of the phone was stunned. Did he think ten million was too little?
"Yes, it is ten million. This result is not bad." Feng Xiaoning said a little confused.

Chen Shiping frowned and couldn't help asking, "Why is it only 10 million? Did the provincial cinema companies make the correct calculation?"

"That's right. The box office statistics from various provincial theaters are 31.8 million, and the total for other parts of Asia is 57 million, a total of 10 million US dollars."

".Ten million US dollars."

"Yeah, what else?"

"It's okay, I'm hanging up!"

Chen Shiping hung up the phone, rubbed his head and couldn't help smiling.

My mind was not clear so early in the morning that I couldn't tell the difference between RMB and US dollars.

How could the box office in mainland China only be 10 million? Wouldn't that be even lower than Emergency Landing?

At this time, Chen Hong propped up her head in confusion and looked at him sleepily and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Chen Shiping glanced at the time and said, "The flight is at 10:30, there's no rush."

Chen Hong hummed, opened her arms and said, "Hug me, and sleep for a while."

"Yeah." Chen Shiping lay down, held her in his arms, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

However, it is not easy to fall back asleep after waking up. The two of them turned over and turned into octopuses and entangled each other tightly.

Lingering is an essential part of separation. If this part is missing, then it is definitely not love.

But it wasn't like they were parting ways, as Chen Hong would be going back in a few days.

At around 1:00 p.m., Chen Shiping came out of the Beijing Airport and went directly to the group.

Although I know the total box office revenue, I still need to take a look at the report for insufficient specific data and information.

At this time, the first-day box office data of Emergency Landing had already spread in the circle.

The people at Shanghai Film Studio were quite helpless; they still couldn't contain it.

The box office of over 30 million far exceeds that of Emergency Landing.

According to this data, the number will exceed 100 million in four days!
The data that Emergency Landing boasted to the public was that the box office exceeded 100 million in seven days, but in fact it took eight days to reach the 100 million mark.

The key point is that the good reviews it has received far exceed those of Emergency Landing. In terms of thrills and grand scenes, the two are not on the same level.

The special effects footage of the emergency landing only lasts about ten minutes, while the entire day after tomorrow is special effects footage. How can they be compared?

Everyone in the industry knows one thing clearly: Shanghai Film Studio lost again this time.

But the emergency landing was not bad, and Shanghai Film Group’s loss was not ugly.

The ugly part is that they sought cooperation with Hollywood and wanted to make a big move, but in the end, it was ruined by a set of fireworks!
It’s not easy for foreign monks to chant sutras!
This incident really made many people see clearly a fact: Hollywood seems to be really not worth their admiration.

Hollywood has failed too many times at the hands of Chen Shiping.

All the halos were easily dismantled by Chen Shiping.

The incident was soon reported in the evening paper that day.

[The Hollywood publicity team has failed completely! ]

[Strike back the day after tomorrow! Box office and reputation are all better! ]

[The acquired special effects have caught up with Hollywood, and the film industry has surpassed Europe and the United States in all aspects! 】

[Cooperation is not the only way out, independent innovation is the development route of the new era! ]

【See the world through movies! 】

There are many different interpretations of the victory of the day after tomorrow in the media. On the first day of the new century, everyone feels a strong vitality!

Many people in Shanghai Film Studio were confused at this time. They had obtained overseas funds and found overseas publicity and promotion teams, but why couldn't they beat China Film?

Are they not good enough or is Hollywood too bad?
Hollywood is definitely not bad, so China Film is too strong!
China Film Corporation’s development path and policies seem to be more suitable for the development of Chinese-language films.

In fact, many people also want to understand one thing: although the foreign system is powerful, it may not be suitable for China.

At this time, Chen Shiping actually wanted to have a chat with the people from Shanghai Film Studio, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

There is no point in talking now. One failure is not enough to make them change their development strategy.

Fail a few more times.

Now let’s deal with the Hua Xia issuance first, it’s time to officially list it.

However, now no one has any expectations for the establishment of Hua Xia Distribution Company.

Although Huaxia Distribution has taken away China Film’s rights, it is not actually controlled by China Film.

This company is purely used to shut up other film studios.

It has no practical effect.

However, you still have to attend the listing ceremony.

On January 8, Hua Xia Issuing Company was officially established.

The leaders of the bureau came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony and then left. Chen Shiping just boasted a few words in front of the media and ended the event.

The media seemed quite boring, with only a few reports published in newspapers.

【Huaxia Film Distribution Company is officially established! 】

[More than 20 companies in the film industry jointly established Huaxia Film Distribution, which will bring more excellent imported films in the future! ]

Shanghai Film Group also sent people to participate, but they didn't have many opportunities to perform throughout the whole process.

After the listing and establishment, the company must hold a meeting.

Chen Shiping sat in the first seat, and Han Laosan also sat in the lower seat with full energy, feeling extremely happy.

The burden on my shoulders has become heavier again!
Happy!
The person in the movie was the first to speak.

"Now that the company is established, we must introduce a few movies. I have a few recommendations here. You can discuss them."

Chen Shiping glanced at Han Laosan without saying anything. He immediately understood and said, "I have a few suggestions on the selection of imported films. There is no rush to discuss what films to import.

Setting standards is the most important thing. I remember that everyone said that China Film Group had no clear standards for imported films and that they were not standardized. So now we need to standardize them. Do you have any objections?"

The person in the movie was choked and had to nod in agreement.

This was the point they attacked China Film at the beginning. Now that they have brought it up, he really has no way to refute it!

Han Laosan smiled slightly and took out a document to distribute.

"Everyone please take a look first, and then we will discuss it. This standard is formulated based on the current film market situation, future trends, and past experience.

Mr. Chen put forward many valuable suggestions, which are very forward-looking and instructive. I think they are very good and we don’t have to think too much. "

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood everything, and what it meant was to support it without any second thought.

The people who were on the film looked at everyone's eyes and expressions and wanted to curse in their hearts.

Could you please make your hint more obvious?
He couldn't help but glance at Chen Shiping and asked directly, "Mr. Chen, what do you think of international cooperation? You seem to be very opposed to it!"

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him, then drank his tea in silence.

Han Lao San quickly smiled and said, "Let's discuss this charter first, and the others will be discussed later."

The person in the shadow snorted and said nothing more.

Chen Shiping smiled slightly, Han Laosan is really useful!
