Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 394 What does it mean to be overwhelmed and have your head spinning?
"Are you going to get a promotion now that Guangying Group is established?"

Chen Zihan looked at Chen Shiping curiously, feeling that if he got promoted again, he might not have much chance.

The higher the position, the more careful you should be.

"Don't guess blindly." Chen Shiping didn't explain much.

But he really is going to be promoted.

I will go to school for further studies next month.

After dinner, Chen Zihan packed up his things. Seeing that Li Xiaoran was still sleeping, he sat in the living room and chatted with Chen Shiping.

"Mr. Chen, are you still eating here at noon? What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

Chen Shiping glanced at the time and said, "It's still early, just do whatever you want. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay." Chen Zihan smiled.

Chen Shiping hummed, glanced at Chen Zihan, and found a topic to ask, "Now, do you know anyone who has gone to Hollywood to develop his career?"

"There are more seniors, more in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the mainland is not too bad." Chen Zihan replied immediately.

Chen Shiping nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He knew who had gone.

There's nothing wrong with going abroad to develop, and there's nothing wrong with immigrating, as long as you don't do anything weird.

Li Lianjie immigrated, and so did Lu Liping. The last time I saw Jiang Huaiyan, he told me that Jiang Shan also planned to go abroad.

In addition to these, there are many young actors who have this idea, but they are not famous enough and cannot go even if they want to.

Many female celebrities in China go abroad to get married, and many CCTV hosts choose to go abroad to have children.

What's the point of having a baby abroad?
Just because of the green card?

It’s hard to say.

Chen Shiping didn't care much about this kind of thing. If anyone wanted to go out, they could go out. But if anyone dared to make trouble or talk nonsense, don't blame him for beating the stupid dog.

After chatting with Chen Zihan for a few words, Chen Shiping went to wake Li Xiaoran up.

If you sleep any longer, the whole day will be gone!
Chen Shiping stayed at Li Xiaoran's place until the afternoon, and when he was about to leave, Chen Zihan went downstairs to see him off.

After going downstairs, Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Don't see me off, go back now. You've worked hard today, and your cooking skills are pretty good."

"Well, if you like, you can come to me anytime. You know where I live." Chen Zihan said courageously.

Chen Shiping nodded and turned away.

Chen Zihan was disappointed. What did "hmm" mean?

A "hmm" is just a "hmm", what can it mean?

Chen Shiping himself didn't know what it meant.

The next day after work, at the board meeting, Chen Shiping talked about what he wanted to learn.

All the work is temporarily shared by several vice-directors, so he doesn't have much time to worry about it.

Chairman Tong is responsible for rectifying issues within the group.

Director Tong was also tired. If it were before, when Chen Shiping went to study, he would definitely think of taking back power.

But I'm about to leave, what's the point of catching anything?

Just spend the last few months peacefully!
After Chen Shiping arranged all his work, he went to school for further studies.

After I finish my studies this time, I should be able to work part-time.

The leader mentioned this matter to him during a private chat. He is also a member of the external publicity team in the department.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Chen Shiping taking on this job as he has done a lot of external publicity work over the years.

The six-month short-term training course made Chen Shiping's life easier.

Most of the company's work is shared by the deputy director, and his workload is greatly reduced.

Once the training is completed and you are officially promoted to chairman, these vice directors who helped share the work will officially take over these tasks.

As for the position of general manager, Han Laosan has already taken it as his own.

Among these deputy directors within the group, which one has better achievements and more connections than him?
The position of general manager is definitely mine!

This is also the arrangement made by Chen Shiping. Anyway, the group needs to be stable at this time.

The investigation of corruption against Mr. Tong has already caused panic among many people, and other problems must not occur again.

If a general manager is parachuted in, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Besides, Chen Shiping would have objections if we arranged for a general manager to come here at this time.

At most, someone can be parachuted into the vacant deputy director position and then serve as the deputy general manager of the group.

After handing over the burden, Chen Shiping's work became easier. In addition to studying on time, he had a lot of free time to spend with his family.

As time passed, China Film Group’s internal self-examination came to an end.

The intensity of Director Tong's investigation this time was not too great, but it was not small either. A total of 37 people were investigated and punished.

This was the only practical thing he did for China Film Group during his tenure.

It also puts an end to his career as chairman and provides an explanation.

At least it's an added entry to my resume, and if I'm lucky I can take a few more steps in the future.

Chen Shiping also began to hand over work to Director Tong.

However, there is very little work to be handed over, and most of the work is focused on cooperating with the higher-ups to set up the Guangzhou Film Group.

In January next year, Guangying Group will be officially established!
However, most of these tasks were completed by Director Tong.

Chen Shiping didn't have much to worry about. The really difficult part was the internal reform after the establishment of the group.

Now the key is to do a good job in China Film.

In December, Xu Ke's The Legend of Zu will be released.

Zhang Yimou’s hero is not ready for post-production yet, so we can only wait until next year.

Cheng Kaige is the slowest shooter and hasn’t finished yet, let alone post-production.

I guess it will have to wait until next year’s May Day or National Day release.

During this period, the Children's Factory launched an animated feature film, an animated film adapted from Princess Wencheng.

It’s not a 3D animation, it’s a pure new Chinese style animation.

The style is similar to Frozen, and it was all made by people poached from Shanghai Meizu Factory.

The production time this time was very short. The original manpower plus the veterans poached from Shangmei Factory greatly shortened the production cycle.

Now that this movie has not been released, the next movie has already started preparations.

The 3D animation Kung Fu Panda is now almost finished with post-production, but the rendering work is not as fast as expected.

The speed of the second-generation supercomputer is not fast, and the new-generation supercomputer has not yet been mass-produced, so the rendering speed cannot keep up.

There is nothing that can be done about this.

Technological limitations.

Chen Shiping is not in a hurry. It’s okay to release it during the Spring Festival. Maybe the box office will be higher!
This year's Lunar New Year movie to watch is Xu Ke's Legend of Zu. Chen Shiping has seen the re-shot and enriched version of Legend of Zu, and the gaps in the plot have been filled.

Many characters are not introduced in a hurry, which leads to too many characters distracting from the plot. In terms of special effects, The Legend of Zu is still good. Xu Ke's ideas and concepts are very consistent with Chinese aesthetics and the imagination of mythology.

However, it is a bit difficult to promote such a movie.

The various sects and magic weapons seem like myths, but some of them are not myths that everyone knows.

Domestic audiences can still accept it, but it is more difficult for foreign audiences.

I should write a few online articles to promote it!

Chen Shiping hadn't thought about the online article before, and now he feels a little annoyed.

How could I forget the online article!

This thing is also great for external publicity!

Get someone to try to write it.

Chen Shiping looked at the Rongshuxia Literature Network on his computer, thought for a while and decided to invest in it.

Under the Banyan Tree has now accumulated a lot of readers and authors.

With a certain foundation, it will be easy to develop if you adjust the direction.

As for the most famous starting point, it has not been established yet.

Online literature will also become an important IP manufacturer for film and television dramas in the future, and it absolutely cannot be ignored.

However, there are too few Internet users in China now, so Chen Shiping's focus is on overseas.

Under normal circumstances, it would be developed domestically and then exported abroad, but now he plans to do the opposite!
The Internet is better developed abroad, the number of Internet users far exceeds that in China, and even the Internet speed is much faster.

Go abroad to develop first, then wait for the right opportunity in China, and take it step by step.

For this purpose, Chen Shiping personally went to talk with the founder of Under the Banyan Tree, and while acquiring the company, he also readjusted the development direction.

The first thing to do is to establish an overseas version and recruit a large number of translators to carry out translation and dissemination. In the creation direction of online literature, more Eastern fantasy elements should be added to Western fantasy stories.

After creating several popular works, he began to promote oriental fantasy stories!
At the same time there is a very critical point!
Write me an urban novel! And one with a Western background!

In my previous life, I worked honestly, but was shot.

Write to me about sadomasochism!

What? I was a chief, but was captured and forced to grow watermelons. Now I have a new life and I want to rebuild my own tribe!
Chen Shiping wanted to influence the thoughts of the lower classes in the West while promoting culture.

These are both cool and addictive novels.
In addition, I also need to write stories about rebirth and the rich targeting the middle class.

In my previous life, I was oppressed by capital, which led to unemployment, loss of job, repossession of house, wife running away, and children not being my own.

I will take everything back with my own hands in this life!
All kinds of weird stuff are stuffed in there and spread overseas, but they are not allowed to appear in China!
Guaranteed to be on top of your head! It’s best to protest or biubiubiu every day!

After the New Year, Chen Shiping will take on the role of a member of the external publicity team, which is to fulfill his job in advance.

All kinds of publicity work and means should be utilized.

Chen Shiping put a lot of effort into this and created more than a dozen template outlines, all of which he gave to the recruited writers.

He also thoughtfully prepared various information for them, saving them the trouble of looking it up themselves.

Once these novels have gained some popularity abroad, we can recruit writers from abroad.

However, Chen Shiping has one requirement for these novels, which is that the novels must be violent, the methods must be ruthless, and they must disregard the law and morality!
Da Piaoliang is really biubiubiu. After watching it, my blood boils all over my body. When I think about my own experience, I can't help but go out and fire a few shots!
While promoting one's own culture, one also has to create trouble for others.

Otherwise, it would be better not to do this promotion.

Chen Shiping didn’t know whether this would work or not, but since it wasn’t much money to invest, he decided to give it a try.

Taking the bottom route often brings unexpected rewards!
It didn't take Chen Shiping too much time to deal with these matters. After giving the instructions, the rest of the work was done by others.

After finishing my refresher course today, I went home early to take my wife and kids to the movies.

It was just that on the way to the cinema, they had a disagreement about which movie to watch.

Chen Xiulin wanted to watch Princess Wencheng, Tao Huimin wanted to watch The Legend of Zu, and Chen Shiping didn't mind watching anything since he had already seen them all.

Let the mother and daughter behind decide for themselves.

It would be good for Chen Shiping to just be an honest driver.

Until they arrived at the cinema, the two women, one big and one small, were still tied.

Tao Huimin did this on purpose, just to let Chen Xiulin know that not everyone in this world revolves around her.

He acts like a wild kid at school all day and acts in a domineering manner. It's too late to stop him.

Sometimes Tao Huimin would scold Chen Shiping, saying that it was a hereditary disease from the Chen family.

Chen Shiping always sighed helplessly. How could he be blamed? It was good not to be bullied.

Seeing that the quarrel was about to spread into the cinema, Chen Shiping couldn't help but turn around and said, "How about both of them watch it? It will only be ten o'clock when they finish."

"No!" Tao Huimin glared at Chen Shiping and said, "Don't talk!"

Chen Shiping shut up angrily, glanced at his daughter, and gave her a helpless expression.

Chen Xiulin pouted her lips, rolled her eyes and said, "Then let's not watch cartoons. Mom can watch whatever she wants. I will listen to her. If she feels better after watching the cartoons, it would be even better if she can take me to watch cartoons."

Tao Huimin was stunned, but Chen Shiping burst into laughter and said to her, "I guess this is inherited from you. See how good you are at acting!"

Tao Huimin hummed, turned her head and looked at Chen Shiping and asked, "What do you mean by a real actor? Chen Shiping, what do you mean?"

"You're a good actor." Chen Shiping immediately stopped smiling and said, "Let's go, let's go watch a movie. Let's watch Legend of Zu first."

Chen Shiping got out of the car and picked up his daughter from the back seat and walked towards the cinema.

Tao Huimin was also helpless. She followed Chen Shiping and pinched him with amusement and anger.

There were a lot of people in the cinema watching The Legend of Zu. Xu Ke was quite famous, and this time he claimed to have created the best special effects movie in the country, which immediately attracted a lot of audiences.

Xu Ke is also the producer of Uncharted, so the audience naturally believes his bragging.

Maybe it's really better than the special effects in Uncharted.

There's no harm in going and taking a look.

Chen Shiping held his daughter in his arms, bought three tickets and some drinks and snacks, and waited outside for the show to start.

This time it only cost thirty and the ticket price has gone down!
There were many audiences waiting in the hall, most of them watching the TV in the hall.

The trailer was playing on the TV, and everyone couldn't help but discuss the movie's special effects.

Chen Shiping also watched the trailer while holding his daughter in his arms. He smiled and said, "This is also very good. Isn't it as good as the cartoon?"

"Is there a princess?" Chen Xiulin couldn't help but ask.

"There is a fairy sister. Look, isn't that sister who can fly very beautiful?" Chen Shiping said with a smile, pointing at Zhang Baizhi on TV.

Chen Xiulin curled her lips and said, "Not as pretty as my godmother."

"Haha, who is prettier, the godmother or the mother?" Chen Shiping asked with a smile.

Chen Xiulin immediately said, "Mom is beautiful! Mom is the most beautiful! She is more beautiful than all the princesses!"

Chen Shiping glanced at the smile on Tao Huimin's lips and couldn't help but wink at his daughter.

This girl is so cunning!

After a while, they entered the theater. The large theater, which could accommodate nearly a thousand people, was full in no time!
Only by lowering the ticket prices can we attract more audiences!
Chen Shiping took a quick look and found that only two or three seats in the front row were empty, and the occupancy rate was 99 percent!
This version of The Legend of Zu might be a hit!
This also shows that the number of moviegoers this year has not decreased!
The cinema reform was very successful!
