Chapter 373 Rushing to Hong Kong

Chapter 373 Rushing to Hong Kong
The end of 1999 was very busy, or to be more precise, the beginning of 2000 was very busy.

Chen Shiping receives many calls every day, most of which are from Hua Xia Distribution.

We agreed to start a company together, why did you run away?
The issue of the standards for imported films has been going on for almost a month. What does it mean?

After discussing for so long, no one has come forward to make a decision. How long will it take to get through this?

They are also hoping to make a fortune by introducing a few blockbuster films!

Every time Chen Shiping received a call, he would just give a perfunctory answer and just drag it out.

His goal is to turn Hua Xia Distribution into a dispensable company.

In the future, we can just introduce one or two films every year to prevent it from going bankrupt.

The composition of Hua Xia’s issuance is so complicated that the best that can be said of it is that it is half-dead.

Moreover, the duplication of functions has a great impact on China Film.

Assistant Li from Shanghai Film Studio has not returned to Shanghai during this period and has been staying in Beijing.

He found that there was no good way to skip this step, so he began to rack his brains to actively help improve the standards for imported films.

Try to finalize this charter as soon as possible, and then consider the next step.

Otherwise, China Film Group’s distribution will be in an awkward situation, and Shanghai Film Group’s joint venture plan will also be in an awkward situation.

Assistant Li is now convinced. Who could have thought that Chen Shiping would cheat?

I used to do things in a swift and decisive manner, but now something like this happens, and I'm really disgusted.

The key point is that this problem is unsolvable. Even though Chen Shiping is trying to improve standards for the better development of the company, he cannot deny this matter from the root.

The most important thing is that the bureau didn’t care and helped Chen Shiping to drag it out.

It's really hard to move forward without someone there.

China Film Group is the bureau’s favorite son, while other companies are not loved by their parents.

But there is no way around it, since Shanghai Film Group is now under the management of the bureau.

How can an adopted child expect to be compared with the biological son of the family?

The current situation of Hua Xia Publishing is what Chen Shiping and the bureau want to see.

Originally, the bureau had never intended to set up another film importing company. If Shanghai Film had not taken the lead, Hua Xia Distribution would not have been established.

This is the best situation now!
Go play by yourself!
But it's hard for Han Laosan, who has to run between the group and Huaxia Distribution every day.

All Chen Shiping could say was thank you for your hard work.

After he no longer had to worry about Hua Xia Publishing, Chen Shiping also took time to deal with other matters.

Get everything done before the end of the year, otherwise you won’t have a good time during the New Year.

The release of Night at the Museum is a small matter for Chen Shiping.

Next year, large groups will merge, cinema chains will reform, and animated film series will be rolled out across the board, and all of this needs to be prepared in advance.

There is also a lot of work to do at the digitalization base, and the distribution of a movie is really not a big deal for Chen Shiping.

When Chen Shiping was busy processing documents in the office, Secretary Li knocked on the door and came in, handed him a document and asked, "Mr. Chen, the theater troupes of several factories will be merged next year. Here are the specific documents."

"Leave it there." Chen Shiping said, then suddenly put down his pen and looked up and asked, "How many employees are there in the troupe now?"

"There are more than 500 people working in the several factories combined."

Chen Shiping tapped the table and thought for a while before saying, "Next year the troupe will recruit the last batch, and we will not recruit anyone in the future."

Secretary Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "If you really don't recruit any more, then the troupe will be without fresh blood in the future."

"Times have changed. It's time for the troupe to withdraw from the stage of history." Chen Shiping waved his hand and said, "Go and notify the person in charge of the troupe to come to me at four o'clock in the afternoon."

Secretary Xiao Li nodded and went out.

I don’t understand what Chen Shiping is thinking. If the troupe stops recruiting, what will happen to the group’s projects in the future?

Are all the actors used coming from society or other units?

What are the benefits of doing this?

I really can't understand it.

But she didn't dare to ask and could only figure it out on her own.

In Chen Shiping's office, he picked up the troupe's document and looked at it for a while, then couldn't help but sigh.

Some departments are indeed about to exit the stage of history.

The troupe's current structure is bloated, its staff is seriously aging, and the key is the entry of private capital, and the troupe no longer has any advantages.

In the beginning, the factory made so many actors famous for the purpose of marketization. Now that the market is mature, there is no need for China Film to continue to create stars.

Actors are the link in the entertainment industry that is most prone to problems, so it is better to cut them off.

Fame and fortune are attractive, and the group cannot possibly pay attention to these actors 24 hours a day. There will always be someone with problems among so many people.

Once something goes wrong, it is the group that will be discredited.

Cutting it off is the best solution.

Of course, another reason is that without the troupe's actors, the group's future projects will be able to strengthen cooperation with private capital.

Give private companies the opportunity to contribute money, effort and manpower.

Otherwise, people would accuse China Film of having a monopoly and taking all the spoils.

These are all trivial matters, and Chen Shiping takes them to heart.

His mind is now filled with the thought of finishing the work at hand as quickly as possible and then taking a vacation to go to Hong Kong.

I usually devote my time to the company, so this year I have to be selfish for once and enjoy myself.

Chen Shiping was busy until around four in the afternoon. The person in charge of the troupe came over, and when they heard him say that there would be no new recruits in the future, they all disagreed with this decision.

Damn, my department was cut off like this?
How can this be justified?
But the problem is that he doesn't agree and there is no recruitment. After the group gives out the last batch of vacancies next year, there will be no more positions in the future.

What a joke.

After Chen Shiping dealt with these matters, he was busy for a while and then went off work.

But before the person went downstairs, people from the distribution department came running over.

"Mr. Chen, the mainland box office will exceed 200 million the day after tomorrow!"

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "That's good, but how did you come up with this number at this point?"

"Shanghai is slow in collecting statistics, and they have just compiled the data."

Chen Shiping hummed, then frowned and said, "Box office statistics are indeed troublesome now. We need to think of a way."

The people in the distribution department said nothing. This is not a easy task. The cinema situation in each province is complicated and the box office is quite sensitive, so it is not easy to deal with.

Chen Shiping was thinking about setting up a nationwide ticketing system to facilitate statistics.

He thought about it for a moment, patted the person in the distribution department on the shoulder, and went off work.

The people in the distribution department looked at his back and scratched their heads in confusion. Why was he taking a photo of me?
Any hint?
Chen Shiping was busy for several days and finally finished all the work before the holiday.

Now we can have a good new year.

Have fun during this year's annual holiday.

By the way, Guan Zhilin has to send a document to Chunyu Investment, otherwise Chen Shiping will not be able to go to Hong Kong with a legitimate reason.

When he is in this position, it is not easy to go anywhere.

What’s more, he went to Hong Kong alone during the Chinese New Year.

It's always easy for people to talk about you.

With the start of the New Year holiday, the capital city suddenly became quiet, only the alleys were a little more lively than before.

With more people setting off firecrackers, it naturally becomes more lively.

At night, Chen Shiping took his daughter to set off firecrackers and made snowmen in the yard.

Tao Huimin was watching TV in the room, absentmindedly answering Tao's mother's questions. "Shi Ping has to work overtime during the New Year, it's really hard, why don't you go and take care of him?"

"I'm telling you, you should show more concern for me and stop being so heartless every day."

Tao Huimin hummed a few times perfunctorily and was about to reach out to eat the orange when her mother slapped her hand back.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Tao Huimin rubbed her hands and looked at her aggrievedly.

Tao's mother said with a straight face: "Did you hear me talking to you?"

"He goes to work, why should I go? Besides, what do I have to take care of when I stay in a hotel?"

Tao Huimin felt a little annoyed. Her husband went out with his wife, and she had to cover up for him. It was so annoying.

Tao's mother couldn't help but say, "Why can't you take the initiative to care about me? You are so perfunctory all day long."

"I see." Tao Huimin reached out and grabbed an orange and was still peeling it. Tao's mother took her hand and asked in a low voice: "Miss Guan is not married yet, right?"

Tao Huimin paused for a moment and said, "Talking about a boyfriend."

"Oh that's good. I always felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at Shi Ping."

Tao's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled Tao Huimin aside and told her:

"You should be more careful. Young actors nowadays are very brave. Shi Ping is in such an important position. I don't know how many girls would want to pounce on him."

"Why are you talking to me? Go talk to your son." Tao Huimin said unhappily.

"What son?"

"You treat Shi Ping better than your own daughter. If he's not your son, then what is he?"

"I'm good to him, which means I'm good to you, why can't you change your mind?"

"Thank you for being so kind to me. The back of my hand is still red."

Tao's mother rolled her eyes, took her hand, blew on it and said, "It's better now."

Tao Huimin smiled and said, "Okay, mom will blow on it and it won't hurt anymore."

"Look at you, you're already a mother, but you feel the same as Xiulin!" Tao's mother nodded at her lovingly.

"I am just a child in front of you."

The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing on the sofa.

Dad Tao raised his head and took a look, then shook the newspaper in his hand vigorously, making a rustling sound.

No one was looking at him, so he shook the newspaper vigorously again and couldn't help but say to Tao Huimin, "Daughter, bring an orange to Dad too."

"Oh, go ahead." Tao Huimin then threw over an orange.

Dad Tao: “.”This little cotton jacket doesn’t keep you warm at all!
Two days later, after the Spring Festival, Chen Shiping boarded a plane to Shenzhen.

He appeared in Hong Kong at around eleven o'clock in the morning.

After passing customs, he got directly into the car that came to pick him up.

In the black Rolls-Royce, Chen Shiping looked at Guan Zhilin sitting there dignifiedly and said with a smile: "Long time no see, I miss you."

Guan Zhilin then showed the attitude of a little girl, and her body softened and leaned into his arms.

"What are you talking about? It's been a long time since you came to Hong Kong. I always go to see you." Guan Zhilin said unhappily, "You don't take me seriously."

Chen Shiping hugged her and said, "I keep it in my heart."

"If you don't care, you can't come and see me."

"It's mainly because I'm busy and can't leave. It doesn't matter whether I come or you go."

Guan Zhilin snorted and said, "I'm not going to see you. I'm going to see my goddaughter."

Chen Shiping laughed and said, "Xiu Lin has more face than I do."

"That's for sure!" Guan Zhilin said this, his eyes flickered and he held back what he was saying.

We agreed not to have children, so let’s not talk about it anymore.

Guan Zhilin nestled in Chen Shiping's arms and looked up and asked, "How long can you stay here this time?"

Chen Shiping thought for a moment and said, "I will go back on the seventh day of the first lunar month."

"That's six days, I need to plan carefully!" Guan Zhilin looked at Chen Shiping and asked, "Do you want to go to Singapore?"

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "No, I'm here just to keep you company."

Guan Zhilin: “.” Remove them!

Chen Shiping was quite helpless. He coughed and said, "Where are we going now? I'll rely on you to arrange everything for the next few days."

"Go to the dock and sell it to you in Thailand!"

“I’m not worth anything.”

"Rich Thai women like people like you!"

"Thank you."

Chen Shiping smiled and pinched her nose and said, "Where's Zhang Min? Why didn't she come today?"

"I'm at home. Come over this afternoon." Guan Zhilin suddenly sat up, hugged him and said, "Are you hungry?"

Chen Shiping just shook his head, Guan Zhilin hugged him and kissed him, and said in his ear: "Then let's go home directly and not go to the hotel, okay?"

Chen Shiping's breathing quickened a little. He squeezed her waist and said, "Okay, let's go home now."

Guan Zhilin immediately knocked on the partition of the car, and the car quickly turned around and drove towards Central.

After the two arrived home, they didn't say anything extra and didn't do anything else. They took off their clothes and slippers as soon as they entered the door, and hugged each other without separating, all the way from the front door to the bedroom.

Chen Shiping looked at Guan Zhilin's still slender waist and couldn't help but reach out and hold it, kissing along her chest to her chin.

Guan Zhilin was also caressing his body, and his breathing became heavier.

The two kissed for a long time before slowly separating, with burning flames in their eyes as they looked at each other.

Soon, melodious singing was heard from the room.

At around 1:00 p.m., Zhang Min, dressed fashionably, came to Guan Zhilin's house, opened the door with his key, and just as he walked into the living room, he heard some noise inside.

A hint of spring could not help but appear on the pretty little face.

She quietly came to the bedroom door, looked at the scene inside, her breathing gradually became rapid, then she walked in quietly and closed the door.

The game is fun with three people!

I don’t know how long it was before the three of them came out of the bedroom, all of them were starving.

Playing games is too physically demanding.

It was dark outside at this time, and Chen Shiping felt that he could eat a cow now!

The two women smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare food, while Chen Shiping sat in the living room and took out his phone to call Brigitte Lin.

I don’t know if she came from Taiwan.

The phone rang twice and was connected.

"Hey, have you arrived in Hong Kong?"

Lin Qingxia's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Shiping hummed and asked, "What about you?"

"I just arrived. Where are you? I'll come find you."

"It's here with Guan Zhilin."

"Then I won't go. Come find me in the evening."

"Okay, I'll be there later."
