Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 379: The Horror of Chinese Film!
Central Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio were fighting, and it was a fierce fight with real swords and guns.

This is a big deal that has caused an uproar in the literary and art circles.

Many people were wondering before, the father and son of the Teng family jumped ship and slapped the Beijing Film Studio in the face, but Chen Shiping had not made any move. It seemed that he was just waiting here for a long time.

This is going to be a good show.

The father and son of the Teng family will have to go to jail for several years. Who could have thought that the actress would defect?

This kind of thing is very common in the circle, but this situation is really rare.

China Film Corporation has been a bit harsh this time. The most that can be done for script infringement is compensation.

But it’s different when the actress comes out to sue the Teng father and son for sexual assault.

It will take several years to get to this point.

However, few people sympathized with the plight of the Teng father and son.

What everyone is more concerned about is how ruthless China Film Group will be this time!

The conflict between China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group has always been within the normal scope of competition.

Now it's time to put on the bayonet.

This will be very difficult to deal with from now on.

The question is whether or not to form a team.

Whether cooperating with Shanghai Film Group will offend China Film Group is a question that everyone is concerned about.

China Film Group didn’t care about these things before, but now it’s hard to say.

Many Hong Kong film companies used to like to co-produce with Shanghai Film Studio, but now they are a little unsure.

If Chen Shiping holds a grudge against me, I will be in big trouble.

Being bullied is no big deal, but if China Film Group targets you or even puts you on the blacklist in the future, you will suffer a big loss.

Even Shanghai Film Group and China Film Group cannot compare.

When it comes to the issue of taking sides, theaters in various provinces understand it much more clearly than those people.

Definitely choose China Film!
China Film Group has the technology and support, and future cinema chains will have to rely on China Film Group for upgrading.

However, cinema chains cannot refuse to allow Shanghai Film Studio’s films to enter the theaters, and they still have to schedule screenings for them.

But forget about getting good treatment.

Shanghai Film Group has a major blockbuster this year, Life or Death Decision.

The theaters were originally planning to give first-tier treatment, but now they can only give third-tier treatment.

Many film companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan are also looking for acquaintances to inquire about the situation.

I want to figure out whether China Film Group is really going to fight to the death with Shanghai Film Group this time.

If they really wanted to force the film to appear in the movie, they should have cancelled the co-production.

Although Shanghai Film Group’s co-productions have low prices and good service, the risk is not as great as being targeted by China Film Group.

The best option is to cooperate with a different production studio.

If all else fails, it's better to find a private film company than Shanghai Film Group.

Although private enterprises lack some strength, it would be fine if they could just ask China Film Corporation to distribute the film after filming.

The choice of capital is the most direct, and interests come first.

Several Hong Kong film companies that had originally approached Shanghai Film Group to co-produce have cancelled their collaborations.

The film projects that Wang Jiawei was discussing with Shanghai Film Group, 2046, and Tang Chen were all urgently withdrawn.

Lou Ye, who graduated from the Beijing Film Studio, is also struggling now.

He had just agreed with Shanghai Film Group on the company logo and was preparing to make an art film, with the actors already selected.

Now he didn't know whether to continue.

Chen Shiping was kind to him and although they had different ideas, it was not a good idea to go against him directly.

Lou Ye was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, he decided to ask a few other friends.

It seems that Jia Zhangke is also discussing the issue of the factory logo with Shanghai Film Group. Let's see what he plans to do.

Lou Ye contacted Jia Zhangke, agreed on a time and place, and left.

In fact, no one cares about small characters like them. Whether they cooperate with Shanghai Film Group or not, Chen Shiping is unhappy with them.

Shanghai Film Group doesn’t care about Lou Ye and Jia Zhangke, who are just two emerging sixth-generation directors.

What Shanghai Film Group cares about is the film companies in Hong Kong.

Tang Chen had made considerable investments in Shanghai and had very close relations with the company. It is quite embarrassing that they suddenly canceled the co-production project.

It was announced with great fanfare before the film was released, but now it has been suddenly cancelled.

This is just slapping yourself in the face.

The same thing happened to Wang Jiawei. He wanted to shoot in Shanghai, so he approached Shanghai Film Studio for cooperation.

Now, he's going to run away too!

What the hell is this!
Shangying got slapped in the face like that!

Although Wang Jiawei likes to show off, he can tell the difference between the big Wang and the small Wang.

I know that if I cooperate with Shanghai Film Group despite the anger of China Film Group, I will definitely suffer bad consequences in the future.

The Wang family was hiding from those who had not been seen in the Peace Hotel.

He was reading a newspaper, watching a reporter interviewing the manager of a cinema chain.

In the report, the cinema manager said that after "careful consideration" and "market research", he decided to reduce the screening schedule of "Life and Death Decision".

What the hell is this investigation? It must be the work of China Film Group!

This was the key factor that forced him to give up cooperation with Shanghai Film Group.

Of course, there is another major problem: Zhonghe Company also belongs to China Film.

Theoretically speaking, all co-productions are under the management of China Co-production Corporation!

If Zhonghe doesn’t allow you to release the film in mainland China, you won’t even have a place to cry!
Zhonghe still has to listen to China Film!

Wang Jiawei couldn't understand what was wrong with the people at Shanghai Film Studio and why they had to compete with China Film Studio.

You think he is the big brother and has a broad mind, right?
Now you are done, the other party is fighting back directly and you can’t withstand it!
How can I compare with others?
To put it bluntly, Shanghai Film Studio’s future films will probably have trouble passing censorship.

Central Film Studio is the bureau’s darling son, and Shanghai Film Studio is an ungrateful wolf who ran off with someone else. The bureau is deliberately making things difficult for you, and you have no way to deal with it!

We are not fools, and we can see many things clearly.

The people above won’t kill you outright, but it would be very easy for them to suppress you and prevent you from developing, or even destroy your foundation.

It doesn’t matter if China Film didn’t care before, but once China Film puts aside its status as the big brother and fights with you.

Just wait to be beaten to death.

At least in terms of co-production, Shanghai Film Group has been classified as a non-cooperation company by many companies.

We cannot offend China Film Group just for the sake of temporary gain.

Chen Shiping is so cruel!

Now people no longer call Chen Shiping "Chen Heizi" behind his back.

He is no longer something that can be described as evil, he is simply a local tyrant and a mountain eagle!

Shanghai Film Group is still trying hard to retain Wang Jiawei and Tang Chen, but they are determined not to cooperate with you.

Shanghai Film Group has no choice but to think of other strategies. It needs to give those companies confidence at this time.

It proves that Shanghai Film Group is not afraid of China Film Group, and there will be no problems if we co-produce with them!
Find a partner!
If you can’t find it in China, find a foreign company to cooperate with!

I don’t believe it, it will really get stuck!

No need for international influence?!

Shanghai Film Group immediately contacted several foreign film companies, preparing to come up with a sign of Sino-foreign co-production!

It just takes some time, but now people in the circle are already in chaos.

Some TV drama companies are considering whether to continue filming dramas in Shanghai or whether to continue cooperating with Shanghai TV stations.

In the field of TV dramas, China Film Group is also a leader!
Moreover, the competition among provincial television stations is already fierce. It is possible that they will take advantage of China Film Group's momentum to target Shanghai Television.

The most important thing is that now everyone who is well-informed knows that the General Administration is going to establish the Guangying Group.

China Film Group and CCTV are now one and the same. Their influence in the field of TV dramas is second to none! How many TV drama producers don't want to be on CCTV?
As for competition, China Film Group's TV drama production company produces so many TV dramas every year. If it deliberately competes with Shanghai,

Shanghai TV can’t handle it either!

It will be damn difficult for TV dramas to go beyond Shanghai in the future!
Every year many TV series are filmed but never get the chance to be broadcast. It is not normal to have a few more.

China Film Group is now really like this: if you don’t move, you’re fine. If you move, you’ll be covered by firepower!

Three hundred and sixty degrees of all-round encirclement!

The barrage of artillery fire left Shangying completely helpless.

Now some TV drama companies in Beijing have blacklisted that place.

The film and television companies that originally planned to go to Chedun to film and premiere TV series in Shanghai are all preparing to run away.

Zhao Baogang is one of them, and he is really planning to go to Shanghai to shoot Fog.

Now I am not planning to go, and I am not planning to discuss the premiere with Shanghai TV.

Although they were sincere and guaranteed that they would sell the first round of broadcasts once the TV series was of satisfactory quality, Zhao Baogang would not consider it.

We are from the Beijing circle and cannot do that!

This circle was pretty good in the early and mid-1990s, and there weren't many cliques.

However, due to the friction between Shanghai Film Group and China Film Group in recent years, the circle has been formed.

Both circles represent their own interests.

There used to be a Northwest circle, but after the Xi'an Film Studio gave up competing and cooperated with China Film, this circle merged with the Beijing circle.

Aren’t Cheng Kaige and Zhang Yimou a typical example of collaboration!

Circle culture is completely magnified at this moment.

Those who make a living under China Film Group are all going against Shanghai Film Group.

The vested interests at Shanghai Film Group are also criticizing China Film Group.

The circle is very lively and you can see people arguing in the newspapers every day.

It will soon affect the literary circle.

There are quite a few works, but cultural figures who are addicted to talking nonsense have come out to comment sharply on this friction.

The literary circle is fine for now, and no one with any brains will take the initiative to participate in it.

It’s just that some directors and actors are helpless.

They couldn't hide even if they wanted to.

Some have just received invitations from Shanghai Film Studio, while others are already halfway through their performance.

How the fuck do this?
Just keep going or leave.

After the movie is over, will China Film Corporation be angry?

Among the actors in the movie starring Teng and his son, except for three actresses who defected, the other actors have not been in the news for several days.

I heard that many of the acting contracts that I had received were terminated.

Isn't this a hidden ban?
Rumor has it that it was Han Lao San who did it himself.

Han Laosan has always been Chen Shiping's right-hand man, which is roughly what Chen Shiping meant.

The actors are really worried.

For example, some actors who have already accepted acting offers include Ning Jing, Fu Dalong, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, etc.

They were very distressed about whether to continue.

Ning Jing actually had no choice, because Shanghai Film Group was her old employer.

But others are different.

They have a choice, but it may cost them a little.

So many people turned to Tao Huimin for help.

Madam, please persuade your master. We are all trying to make a living, so please keep a way out for ourselves!

Tao Huimin's phone has been flooded with calls in recent days.

Some people asked her out, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to go meet them.

Tao Huimin blamed Chen Shiping in her heart.

I'm being lazy at home, but you have to find something for me to do.

In fact, Chen Shiping doesn't care about these little things.

Just a few actors, they have no impact on the overall situation at all.

Let Tao Huimin spread the word that she will not target them.

But even so, the actors are still very annoyed.

It’s okay to act, but if there’s no effect after acting, what’s the difference between that and not acting?
Just for the pay? The point is, it's not that much!
What actors care about most is exposure. If the movie can’t get screenings, what’s the point?

What a goddamn fuck!

However, the chain reaction that has now been caused has also made everyone see the terrifying side of China Film.

The influence of China Film Group is really huge!
A little scary!

Chen Shiping is really not to be trifled with. If you provoke him, even a group as big as Shanghai Film Group can't handle it, let alone others.

Some people put themselves in the shoes of China Film Group and feel suffocated.

You have absolutely no ability to fight back. They can crush you to death in minutes and make you disappear completely from the entertainment industry!
The bosses of film and television companies who like to criticize others in the circle do not dare to jump out and criticize China Film.

I really can’t afford to offend him!

If I have the chance to meet Chen Shiping in the future, I will definitely stand still and call him Mr. Chen!
At this time, Chen Shiping was sitting in the office listening to Han Laosan's report.

Han Lao San smiled and said, "We have to fight the lawsuit, but we will definitely win. The Teng family father and son will definitely go to jail. As for the compensation for infringement, I guess it won't be that much, but Shanghai Film Group will also suffer a significant loss."

Chen Shiping nodded and said, "The two from the Teng family are minor characters. They are mainly using this incident to express their attitude. The Shanghai Film Studio is jumping around too much, so it's easiest to just kill them."

Han Laosan smiled and then told the latest news he had found out.

"Yes, but I heard that Assistant Li contacted several companies in France, Germany and the United States to prepare for a co-production called The Countess. I guess this is not going to be easy."

Chen Shiping curled his lips and said, "We still have to report to Zhonghe, so that Zhonghe can find fault with us."

Han Lao San smiled and said, "It will take half a year for everything to be settled."

What can Shanghai Film Group use to compete with China Film Group?

China Film Corporation has too much power!

Even without these rights, China Film Group's size and current technology are still incomparable to Shanghai Film Group.

It's just normal business competition. Hasn't Shanghai Film Group never won once?
If Chen Shiping had not held back in these contests, Shanghai Film Studio would have lost everything.

This is strength!
Han Laosan really admires Chen Shiping. For many years, he has been misunderstood and accused of throwing money around.

They are working on supercomputing, doing digital research, and investing in foreign media industries. Why are they spending so much money?

Looking back now, those who said he was throwing money around have become idiots themselves.

However, when he thought of the nickname everyone gave to Chen Shiping, Han Laosan couldn't help but laugh.

He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Chen, do you know that people outside have given you a nickname?"

Chen Shiping shook his head and said, "I don't know, and no one dares to tell me."

"Haha, that's true." Han Lao San asked with a smile: "Do you want to know?"

Chen Shiping also nodded with interest, and was quite curious about what nicknames they would give themselves.

Han Lao San suppressed his laughter and said, "You've seen Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, right? It's that mountain eagle."

Chen Shiping: "." Cou! God damn mountain eagle!
"These people are sick. Zuoshandiao is the third oldest, so you are the one who should be mentioned."

Han Lao San laughed and said, "You can call me that, too. This nickname is quite suitable."

"Yes, then your code name from now on will be Zuoshan Diao. I will notify everyone today."

"No. Notify? Where to notify?"

"It's within the group. From now on, the nickname Zuoshandiao will be yours. It's more appropriate for everyone to call me Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen, stop making trouble."
