Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 398 It’s your fault that your mother beat you!

The heating in the cafe was sufficient, but Fan Bingbing still felt a little cold.

Tao Huimin, who was sitting opposite me, was too moody.

He first said that he had a good relationship with her, and then said that she looked like Chen Hong so he didn't like her.

At first he said he respected my own choice, but later he forced himself.

Is this support or oppression for women?

Where’s the girl helping girl?
Tao Huimin really didn't do it on purpose. She really liked and hated Fan Bingbing.

She looks a bit like Chen Hong with a foxy vixen, but her way of dealing with people and her personality are a bit like Guan Zhilin.

The most important thing is that she actually likes red velvet cake as much as I do!
Wouldn’t this make Chen Shiping fall in love with him?
Maybe it was out of precaution, or maybe it was a sense of crisis, either way it made her dislike Fan Bingbing a little bit.

I don’t want her to have contact with Chen Shiping.

Tao Huimin stared at Fan Bingbing for a while and couldn't help but say, "So young."

Hearing this, Fan Bingbing's heart sank again. He knew that he would not be favored just because he was young.

She knew exactly what the woman's mentality was when she said this.

She put on a smile and said, "Sister, you look so young. To be honest, if you say you are my sister, people will believe it."

"More like it." Tao Huimin said calmly. Without caring whether Fan Bingbing could resist, she suddenly asked, "You deliberately approached Shi Ping in Guangzhou before, right?"

Fan Bingbing immediately grabbed the corner of his clothes nervously.

"No, I just... I just wanted to ask Mr. Chen for help. I encountered a problem that I couldn't solve at the time, and when I met Mr. Chen by chance, I hoped that he could help me."

Fan Bingbing's eyes turned red as he spoke, sobbing, "I was signed by Qiongyao when I was a teenager, but I never had any movies to shoot. Even if I won the lawsuit, I still had to pay compensation. Many people wanted to bully me because I was a little girl."

Tao Huimin's stern expression eased a little and she couldn't help but sigh. After all, she was just a 19-year-old girl.

There shouldn't be so many tricks, right?
Eh. It seemed that Chen Hong was only 18 years old at that time when she hooked up with Chen Shiping.

Tao Huimin's face straightened again, and she looked at Fan Bingbing and said, "Tell me about your problem, and I'll help you."

Fan Bingbing heaved a sigh of relief, wiped his tears and said, "Okay, thank you sister, I finally have someone to talk to about my grievances. I was afraid that my parents would worry, so I never told them many things."

Fan Bingbing had made up her mind that because of Tao Huimin's attitude towards her, there was absolutely no way she would get close to Chen Shiping.

If you can't get close to Mr. Chen, then you can get close to Mrs. Chen. It's the same. Maybe it's even easier.

Fan Bingbing then told some of the things he had seen and experienced in the past few years.

Is the entertainment industry fair? Of course it is not fair. Although Fan Bingbing has been in the industry for a short time, he has experienced a lot.

We can still fight back now, but what can we do if we never have the chance and don't bow our heads and abide by those unspoken rules?

Tao Huimin listened to her own experience.

The audition required sleeping with the actor, otherwise there would be no role; the role was snatched away by someone else the next moment because another actress slept with the actor.

Various things and experiences made it difficult for Tao Huimin to feel hostile towards her.

After all, she is just a young girl who has just come of age.

Life is hard.

Fan Bingbing is considered to have some family connections, but what about many people who don’t?

I don’t know what happened to those girls.

Maybe there will be no role after being slept with.

Fan Bingbing just said that some young actors slept from the stagehand to the director and ended up being ranked fourth or third female lead. She thought it was too much.

Is this the same film and television industry as before?
Things became really chaotic after private capital entered.

Tao Huimin sat there in deep thought, thinking about what Chen Shiping had said last night.

Only by uniting some people can we get this done.

But you have to pay attention to the scale and not punch.

Tao Huimin still couldn't understand, they were a group of women, why would they fight with others?
Does it mean that we should not be too aggressive? For fear that things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme?
Maybe that's what it means.

After thinking for a while, Tao Huimin became more determined to do this.

After all, it can also be a help to Chen Shiping in his official career.

This still needs to be done!

"Sister?" Fan Bingbing called out softly as he looked at Tao Huimin who was in deep thought.

Tao Huimin came back to her senses and looked at her and said, "When will you finish filming this play?"

"There's still half a month left." Fan Bingbing said immediately.

"Then come to Beijing to find me after you finish filming." Tao Huimin said as he took out his wallet to pay.

Fan Bingbing immediately said, "Sister, let me do it. If you are willing to help me, let me show my appreciation."

Tao Huimin smiled and said, "How can you let a child pay?"

Fan Bingbing: “.” I called you sister, but you treated me like a child!
Not much older than me, okay?

You think he's of a lower generation than me? It seems he's still wary of me.

Fan Bingbing didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Am I that dangerous? Chen Shiping never had a good face towards me.

A strange couple.

At this time, in a house in a seaside town, Chen Shiping was sitting on a rattan chair reading a book.

Although I don’t have my wife to play with me, it’s still very comfortable to read here.

The afternoon sun is so warm that it makes people feel lazy and sleepy.

Chen Shiping fell asleep while holding the book. When he woke up, the sun was almost setting.

Tao Huimin had returned and was sitting next to him, eating cake in small bites.

Chen Shiping wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Give me a bite."

"Here, it's all for you." Tao Huimin stuffed the cake into his hands and said, "Play for another day and then go back."

"Okay, it seems you have gained a lot from this trip." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Tao Huimin stretched and said, "Yes, my mother used to nag me at home every day, saying that I was not virtuous and could not be a mother. Now I think about it, it's not right or wrong. As a woman, why do you have to rely on men? Don't you think so?"

Chen Shiping ate the cake and hummed, "Yes, I support whatever you want to do."

"What if we get divorced?" Tao Huimin suddenly stared at him and said.

Chen Shiping continued to eat the cake and said, "No."

"I am still worried about the impact on my career."

"Work has never been my top priority." Chen Shiping put down the cake and looked at her and said, "Don't be emotional when you speak or do things. You can't do it well this way. You awakened today, became independent tomorrow, and what do you want to do the day after tomorrow?"

Chen Shiping looked at the cake stains on his fingers and tore off a page of the book to wipe his hands.

"Let's go back tomorrow."

Tao Huimin said "oh", picked up the leftover cake, dipped a little with her finger and put it in her mouth.

Still sweet
Alas, daydreaming is really a taboo for women. Tao Huimin told herself in her heart that she must be rational when doing things, which is different from throwing tantrums at home.

If it really happens, the impact will be huge, so don't let your emotions get the better of you!
Early the next morning, Chen Shiping drove Tao Huimin back.

On the way back, Tao Huimin kept asking Chen Shiping how to deal with this matter, which people to involve, and how to convince them to join.

Chen Shiping also told her one by one which people could be brought in, which people needed to be informed and could not be brought in, and which people could charge into battle.

These people are very important and will form a huge network of relationships. Don't underestimate the power of the wives' group. What if the husband of this wife is a director or a secretary?
Chen Shiping analyzed interpersonal relationships and discussed interests, and also told her the standards for doing things and what was the best approach.

Just teach her a little bit at a time.

After listening to this, Tao Huimin felt that she had been protected too well over the years. She was still like when she first met Chen Shiping. Apart from becoming a mother, she seemed to have not changed at all.

No wonder my mother nags me every day at home. I am indeed like a child every day, just an enlarged version of Chen Xiulin.

Tao Huimin pursed her lips and began to think seriously about what to do.

When she invested in TV dramas and became a producer in the past, people did everything for her because of Chen Shiping's reputation, and she also had Mei Juan to help.

Now I realize how difficult it is to do things. I don’t even know where to start with the first step, and yet I dare to make such boastful promises to Fan Bingbing.

I really lost my mind.

Chen Shiping turned his head to look at Tao Huimin, and was not in a hurry to finish everything. What he said today was enough for her to digest.

If she talks too much, she'll back off.

Chen Shiping drove quietly and didn't say much for the rest of the journey.

By the afternoon, they returned to the capital.

As soon as Tao Huimin returned home, she saw Chen Xiulin climbing the ginkgo tree in the yard, and her princess dress was torn.

Suddenly, she became angry.

A little girl climbing trees and stealing birds all day long! What a shame!
Her grandparents didn't care either and said she didn't know how to teach children. They were not much better!
"Chen Xiulin!! Get down here!" Tao Huimin said as she was about to take action.

Chen Shiping came in carrying a box and looked at the eldest daughter with sympathy. "I'm sorry you've been wronged today. Your mother has been acting strange these past two days. Just let her beat her up."

Chen Shiping ran into the Third Hospital with the box in his hand. He would not feel guilty if he didn't see his daughter being beaten!

After simply packing up his things, Chen Shiping went to sit in the study.

I was away for three days and didn't ask about work.

He called Secretary Xiao Li to ask about the two Lunar New Year films.

The first weekend plus Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a total of five days, the box office data should be pretty good.

After the call, Secretary Li reported the box office situation in detail.

The box office of Zu Shan Zhuan in Asia has exceeded 46 million US dollars, and the box office of Wang Zhaojun has exceeded 28 million. The peripheral series of products are hot-selling and have attracted popularity all over Asia.

In particular, the little pet beside Wang Zhaojun in the movie is particularly popular because of its cute appearance.

The marketing team is also continuing to work hard to guide public opinion, and the sales of IP-related products are very good.

Chen Shiping was quite satisfied after hearing these data.

The Legend of Zu should be able to earn $100 million at the box office when it is finally released, which is a pretty good result.

The box office in mainland China should be able to reach more than 300 million yuan.

What’s important about the Wang Zhaojun IP is not the box office. Many people have heard this story, but they may not go to the cinema.

But when stories become commodities and are readily available, things start to change.

The characters in the story begin to have images and start appearing in various shopping malls, and slowly this image will become the story itself.

The value of IP is focused at this moment.

It doesn’t matter whether you watch the movie or not, people will like the characters as individuals.

Just like Tifa and NieR in 3D Zone, how many people have actually played these two games, and they all enjoyed watching them.

The IP image and the story are not that closely related. The story only determines the lower limit, and the image itself is the upper limit!
During dinner that night, Tao Huimin changed her usual behavior and started to criticize Tao's father and mother at the table.

Chen Shiping didn't dare to say anything. He looked at his daughter and lowered his head to drink the soup.

I'm going crazy. You can't afford to offend me.

During the meal, Tao Huimin spent half of the time scolding her parents.

Chen Shiping was just a half-son, so he didn't dare to interrupt. After eating, he ran away with his daughter.

Let’s go out and watch the firecrackers and have fun. New Year’s Day is almost here and the shops have already started selling firecrackers and other things.

In the alley, Chen Xiulin rode on Chen Shiping's neck and said, "Dad, Mom has changed."

"Well, don't mess with her in the future, otherwise I will really hit you." Chen Shiping held her two short legs for fear that she would fall.

Chen Xiulin hit Chen Shiping on the head and said, "It must be your fault. He was fine when you two didn't go out to play."

"It's your fault. It was you who stole your mother's cake and caused her to be scolded by grandma." Chen Shiping threw the blame back.

"Impossible! I don't admit it!"

"It's you who doesn't admit it!"

"No, no, that's not it!"

"Okay, I'm fine, right?"

Chen Shiping was too lazy to tease her, so he threw a firecracker at the wall, which made a loud bang and scared Chen Xiulin so much that she screamed.

"Haha, Daddy will take you to war!"

After playing with his daughter for a long time, Chen Shiping went home.

The next day I went to work at the group.

However, Chen Shiping just came here to report and was about to go to the Northeast.

The series of films about resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea has been in preparation for so long, and now we can finally start filming.

Railways, marching routes, battle simulations, and all kinds of preparations far exceed special effects blockbusters!
Chen Shiping concentrated so much energy and it took more than half a year to prepare for it.

This kind of large-scale war movie is not something that ordinary people can make.

Chen Shiping was busy on the plane to Jilin. He looked at various materials in his hands to familiarize himself with the situation, so that he could start shooting directly after getting off the plane.

More than an hour later, Chen Shiping met Feng Xiaoning in a hotel in Changchun.

He has filmed several war films and this time he came to help Chen Shiping.

As he is also one of the directors, Chen Shiping just needs to put the name of co-director in an inconspicuous place.

Feng Xiaoning has also been doing these preparatory work. With him around, it would be easy to take over.

Chen Shiping and he took a jeep towards the Yalu River and discussed the plot on the way.

Suddenly he looked up and out the window, it was snowing heavily.

It was snowing heavily in the capital at this time.

Tao Huimin came out of a beauty salon with a few ladies, smiling. After seeing them off, she looked up at the light snow falling from the sky.

"It's snowing. Snow means a good harvest."
