Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 396 Entertainment Industry Godmother

In the quiet study, Chen Shiping suddenly heard Tao Ma nagging in the yard.

No need to think, it must be the nagging Tao Huimin.

"How old are you and you're still fighting with kids for food?"

"Mom, this was given to me by Xiulin. I didn't steal it!"

Chen Shiping stopped listening after a few times and decided to take his wife out to eat their fill.

hum!

It’s just a cake!

He looked at the news on the online forum and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The speeches on the early Internet were really bold.

Chen Shiping was just browsing around and saw many bold remarks made by netizens.

Politics, economy, current affairs, culture, and celebrity gossip are endless.

They also had a lively conversation about some special events.

The print media can’t say anything about it, but no one cares about the Internet.

Each of them spoke with details, especially the celebrity gossips, which were filled with so many details that it seemed as if they were watching from the side.

Chen Shiping wondered whether the revelations were true.

There was a post saying that Fan Bingbing signed a three-film contract with Guangzhou Pika King Film and Television and was being kept by someone, and with her mother.

Chen Shiping did meet Fan Bingbing in Guangzhou, but it didn’t look like that.

The key point is that the latter news is outrageous.

Aren’t her parents from the HaiJ Art Troupe?
Chen Shiping sighed, the atmosphere in the entertainment industry began to change.

Do you need to clean it up?

Otherwise, when people talk about the entertainment industry in the future, they will think of it as a big melting pot, which is not a good thing.

If there are negative words in the entertainment industry, it will also affect the entire film and television industry.

But this is really hard to control.

Damn, it's a big melting pot.

The main reason is that too much private capital has entered the market, which has led to the emergence of various messy things.

Although there were various problems in the film and television industry in the 1990s, most of them were actors cheating and getting divorced, and directors having mistresses.

Nowadays, all the negative news is about keeping a mistress, sleeping with someone, unspoken rules and the like.

In the past, it was about bad personal conduct, but now it feels like moral collapse.

The film and television industry needs private capital, which is a double-edged sword and difficult to control.

We can't control it, so we can only try to avoid it in public opinion.

The media has developed rapidly in recent years, and mainland media has begun to move towards Hong Kong media for the sake of publicity.

This needs to be controlled.

Guangying Group should be established soon so that it can better manage these media.

In two months, it will be officially established after the New Year, and Chen Shiping is already looking forward to it.

While Chen Shiping was thinking, Tao Huimin came in with a red velvet cake in her hand, looked at the computer desktop and asked, "What are you looking at? Fan Bingbing is being kept."

Tao Huimin read the post on the webpage and asked curiously, "Is it true? I've seen her in a play. The girl is very smart."

Chen Shiping shrugged and said, "How would I know? Maybe he just said it casually."

Tao Huimin scooped a small piece of cake and put it next to Chen Shiping's mouth and said, "Have you seen her? Does she look like her?"

"I saw her once, but she doesn't look like me." Chen Shiping said while eating the sweet cake, "Where's my daughter?"

"She went to watch TV after dinner." Tao Huimin asked casually, "How did you meet her? She has never made a movie, has she?"

"I met you by chance when I was checking the ticket prices for theaters in Guangzhou." Chen Shiping said, turning his head to look at her and asked, "No, what are you thinking about?"

Tao Huimin pursed her lips and said, "Don't you think she looks a lot like Chen Hong?"

"So?"

“So you like this.”

"."

There is no trust between people anymore!
Chen Shiping opened his mouth angrily and ate all the red velvet cake in her hand!
"Chen Shiping!!!" Tao Huimin shouted angrily, grabbing him and saying, "This was given to me by Xiulin, you have to compensate me!"

"No compensation, I'll eat what I paid for!"

"No matter what, you have to compensate me and go buy it now."

"Then you come with me."

"you drive!"

"Good good!"

Chen Shiping said this, picked up the car keys and took Tao Huimin out.

After getting in the car, Chen Shiping asked with a chuckle, "Let's go to Maxim's. Their red velvet cake is the best."

"Well, let's go there."

"Then how about going to Shangri-La and getting a presidential suite? And taking a nice bath?"

"Then go buy some roses."

"Okay!"

Chen Shiping proudly stepped on the accelerator to the floor.

Let’s live in our own world.

Isn't this how we should live our lives? Relax once in a while and go out to find something different.

It's not necessary to eat that cake, but you need a reason to go out together.

The two had a candlelight dinner at Maxim's, and no one touched the red velvet cake.

After eating, the two of them went to the flower shop hand in hand.

Fortunately, it was not too late and the flower shop was not closed yet.

Tao Huimin held a large bouquet of roses and smelled them for a while before saying, "They smell so good. I haven't received flowers in a long time."

"Stop talking nonsense. I send it to you every week. I always bring it to you when I come back from a business trip." Chen Shiping said unconvinced.

Tao Huimin snorted and said, "It's different."

Well, what else can we say? Chen Shiping took Tao Huimin on the car and went to Shangri-La.

Let’s be romantic tonight, Chen Shiping specially had flower petals scattered.

It's normal to order a presidential suite and get some extra services.

It’s a romantic night, so stop talking and just enjoy life.

After Chen Shiping came in, he put water in the cup, opened the red wine, and provided very good service to Tao Huimin.

Tao Huimin was very happy tonight. She didn't have to worry about her children or her mother's nagging, and she could be her own little princess again.

Early the next morning, Tao Huimin got up and didn't want to go home.

I'm sure my mom will nag me again when I get home.

She had thought of everything that would be said.

There is no room for you to live in my house. Is this big yard not enough for you? Go out and waste your money!
"I don't want to go home~"

"Then stay a few more days. I'll tell mom I'm taking you on a business trip."

"Then why don't you really take me on a business trip and go out and have fun."

"How about going to Beidaihe?"

Chen Shiping stroked his chin and said, "The seaside town over there has been expanded a lot now, and I haven't been there yet."

"Okay, then let's go to Beidaihe!" Tao Huimin jumped up immediately.

"I'm going to ask for leave."

"Hurry up, hurry up!" An hour later, the two drove to Beidaihe.

It can also be considered a self-driving tour.

However, after the two of them arrived, they found that there were a lot of people here.

Isn’t New Year’s Day still a few days away?
Why do so many people come here to travel?
I give up.

Chen Shiping and Tao Huimin almost failed to book a detached house in the seaside town.

If the staff hadn't recognized him, he would have definitely been forced to stay in the hotel.

Tao Huimin looked at the huge crowd and couldn't help but say, "There are so many people, and I saw several crews filming."

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "It means the economy is doing well and people have money to go out and have fun."

"Let's go and see which crews they are. I wonder if they are filming a movie or a TV series." Tao Huimin said excitedly.

Chen Shiping nodded and took her over.

After taking a few glances, she found out that it was a crew of an idol drama. She didn't recognize any of the actors or the director, so Chen Shiping took her to the other side.

When he went to another film crew, Chen Shiping met someone he knew.

Hong Jinbao is a fat guy.

Chen Shiping smiled and turned to Tao Huimin and said, "Do you want to go and say hello?"

"No, it's boring." Chen Shiping shrugged and said, "Okay, let's go to the park."

Chen Shiping was about to leave as he spoke, but he was recognized after only two steps.

"Mr. Chen!" A man ran over and said with a big smile on his face, "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence, I'm the producer of Zhuying, my name is Liu Fang."

"Hello, hello." Chen Shiping smiled and shook hands with him.

Liu Fang looked at Tao Huimin again and said, "Mrs. Chen, long time no see. When you were filming the wedding, I was working as a stagehand on the set."

"It's you. I almost didn't recognize you." Tao Huimin said with a smile, but Chen Shiping could tell that she was mostly polite and definitely didn't remember who it was.

"I didn't expect you still remember that you and Ju Xing complained about the heat in the south every day." Liu Fang said with a smile.

Chen Shiping was afraid that if he continued talking, Tao Huimin would be embarrassed because she couldn't remember who he was, so he interrupted and asked, "Are you the producer of this crew? What drama are you shooting?"

"A co-production, Summer Flying Dragon, the title is tentative, similar to the early Best Partners, a money-making film."

Liu Fang had something to say, so he just revealed all his secrets.

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "It's a tribute to the classics, but why do I only see Hong Jinbao and the other lucky stars are not here?"

"No, that's why people say it's a money-making scheme. Hong Jinbao did it to promote his son." Liu Fang explained with a smile.

"That's not bad." Chen Shiping looked back at the set and said, "You go ahead, I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

"Okay, I wonder if I can treat you to dinner tonight." Liu Fang said with a smile.

Chen Shiping glanced at Tao Huimin, and seeing that she didn't react, he smiled and said, "I have an appointment with someone tonight. Let's talk next time. You are busy now, and we will talk later."

With that he left.

Liu Fang looked at his back and sighed. There was no point in chatting with him. He didn't even give him a business card.

But he is a big leader, and I am far inferior to him.

After saying this, he turned around and went back to the set, and told Hong Jinbao about this matter.

Hong Jinbao became interested when he heard this and asked, "Do you know where he lives?"

"I'm not sure. I'll ask around later." Liu Fang said with a smile, "I want to introduce your son to him."

"Haha, I guess so." At his age, Hong Jinbao has reached the stage of paving the way for the next generation.

If I could get in touch with Chen Shiping, I would be able to soar to fame.

But this is difficult. It is not easy to make friends with people like Chen Shiping.

Liu Fang smiled and said, "Then I'll help you contact them. Mr. Chen and his wife are here together. They shouldn't be working, so they probably won't be very busy."

At this time, Fan Bingbing ran over to the dressing room on the set. After hearing the last sentence, he immediately asked curiously.

Liu Fang explained the matter and asked with a smile: "Bingbing, you know Mr. Chen, right? Why don't you help ask him?"

Liu Fang’s cousin is the vice president of Zhuying, and he is the one who visited the cinema with Chen Shiping before.

Fan Bingbing was also sent to this crew by Vice President Liu, who wanted to support him. In case Fan Bingbing establishes a relationship with Chen Shiping in the future, it would also help Zhuying.

It's just a production, it doesn't take much effort, and for someone like Vice President Liu, it's just a piece of cake.

Fan Bingbing was quite embarrassed at this time. There was no way she could get in touch.

She had no connections when Chen Shiping was alone, and now it was even more impossible for him to go out with his wife.

"I heard from Mr. Chen before that he came out to travel and relax and didn't want to be disturbed. I will ask for you later." Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

No matter what, you have to keep pretending.

But she remembered it in her heart and called to say hello later.

On the other side, Chen Shiping and Tao Huimin were already sitting in a restaurant by the sea eating seafood.

Eat more now, otherwise you won’t dare to eat it in twenty years.

Tao Huimin said while eating, "If I hadn't met Liu Fang today, I would have almost forgotten the movie The Bride."

"I still remember it. Yindu Agency arranged it for you to take care of me." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Ten years have passed in a flash."

Tao Huimin was stunned for a moment, looked at him and asked, "Was it arranged by Yindu Organization? I thought it was the director of Zhuying who had a keen eye for talent."

Chen Shiping laughed and said, "It was arranged by Director Liao at the beginning."

"Okay, stop talking!" Tao Huimin snorted, then put a big crab in his bowl and said, "Eat your food."

Chen Shiping had no choice but to lower his head to peel the crab meat and put it into Tao Huimin's bowl.

Oh, I shouldn't have said it earlier.

Tao Huimin couldn't help but ask as she ate, "It's been so many years. Did you hook up with Chen Hong while I was filming?"

"Let's not talk about this." Chen Shiping took a sip of beer awkwardly, turned around and shouted to the boss, "Give me another serving of salmon."

Tao Huimin curled her lips and watched the phone that Chen Shiping had placed on the table vibrate. The name on the screen was Fan Bingbing.

She raised her eyebrows and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Bingbing. I don't know if you remember me, but I heard that you and your sister-in-law are here for a trip. I would like to invite you and your sister-in-law to have a meal together."

Fan Bingbing behaved very politely, without a trace of ambiguity, because he was worried about encountering this situation.

But she was well prepared.

After hearing what Fan Bingbing said, Tao Huimin cleared her throat and said, "Hello, he's not here. I'm Tao Huimin. Thank you for your kindness. You don't need to eat."

Fan Bingbing was almost scared to death when he heard Tao Huimin's voice. He pursed his lips and said, "Hello, I'm Fan Bingbing. I heard from Producer Liu that you and Mr. Chen were here to visit, so I called to say hello."

"Did Liu Fang ask you to call?" Tao Huimin asked subconsciously.

"Yes, Brother Hong Jinbao wanted to invite Mr. Chen to dinner. I'm just a small actor, so it's hard for me to refuse. That's why I called. I'm really sorry to bother you. Please understand."

"Then just say you don't have time. I said so." Tao Huimin thought of the news she saw that day, paused and said, "If they make things difficult for you, call me. My phone number is..."

Chen Shiping sat there watching Tao Huimin and Fan Bingbing chatting. At first he felt that he was doomed, but now it seems that there is a turning point.

After a while, Tao Huimin finished talking to Fan Bingbing and hung up the phone.

She sighed and said, "It's not easy to be an actress."

"What did you say?" Chen Shiping was quite curious about what Fan Bingbing had said to her.

Tao Huimin curled her lips and said, "You men are so powerful. You can assign roles to girls and they can call you."

Chen Shiping: "What does it have to do with me? You are my wife. Was there anything wrong with me assigning you a role at that time?"

"That's right, but it also shows that being an actress is not easy." Tao Huimin snorted and said, "That girl was quite polite and seemed like a nice person. I don't know why someone would spread rumors about her. It's disgusting."

"So what do you want to do? Become the godmother of the entertainment industry."

"No way!"

"Yes, I support you with both hands!"
