Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 91 Deliberately creating accidents

The spring is getting warmer, and the heating in the capital has stopped.

However, the stove in Chen Shiping's house was not turned off, and the room was still a little cold when the heating was turned off.

The kettle on the stove whined, and Chen Shiping always felt that the sound of the kettle boiling was similar to the sound of a train whistle.

After Chen Shiping made himself a cup of tea, he went to his desk to work.

He was absent from the literature class for three days. Although the school didn't say anything, it still asked him to write some short stories and submit them from time to time.

In the bedroom next door, Guan Zhilin was telling Tao Huimin about the film company.

There are some things that Chen Shiping cannot come forward for, and Tao Huimin will have to deal with them in the future. These things must be understood.

Guan Zhilin envied Tao Huimin. He looked at her and said, "He trusts you so much. Many rich men in Xiangjiang will be wary of their wives."

Tao Huimin thought so too, but she felt that two people should trust and support each other when they are together.

"It's okay. Isn't that how two people get together?" Tao Huimin looked at Guan Zhilin and suddenly asked, "Miss Guan, why did you open a company with Shi Ping?"

Guan Zhilin's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "It's important to make money. Men are unreliable. They can only make money by themselves to support their families."

"Miss Guan is also very powerful."

Seeing Tao Huimin's happy face, Guan Zhilin felt sour and guilty in his heart, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll leave now. I'll come shopping with you another day."

Tao Huimin came to his senses and said, "It's so late, why don't you sleep at home and I'll just clean up the guest room."

"I won't disturb you guys. We have to film tomorrow. Go back and rest early."

"Then I'll ask Shi Ping to take you off. There's no car at this late hour."

"Then I'll trouble you."

"It's no trouble, I'll call him."

On the way to the hotel in Beijing, Chen Shiping drove very seriously without saying a word.

Guan Zhilin was sitting in the passenger seat and suddenly asked: "Why didn't you say a word? Do you not want to see me off?"

"No, I was just writing a novel and thinking about the plot." Chen Shiping replied absently.

When he was just writing the novel, he always thought of the whistle of the kettle, and then he thought of the train. When he thought of the train, he thought of the platform, and then his thoughts were out of control.

Guan Zhilin groaned, picked up the water glass Chen Shiping put in the car, unscrewed it and took a sip.

Chen Shiping noticed from the corner of his eye that she was drinking water, so he slowed down the car to prevent her from making excuses to spill the water.

This was in the capital, and Xiao Baicai was still waiting for him at home. He didn't want any "accidents" to happen.

Guan Zhilin waited for a long time with a glass of water but Chen Shiping didn't hit the brakes, so he had to make an accident himself. He tilted his body to the side in an exaggerated manner, and the water spilled on Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping: "." It seems that Guan Zhilin has no one to do ideological work for her in Xiangjiang during this period, and she has returned to her true nature.

"Thirteenth Aunt," Chen Shiping suddenly said. Guan Zhilin originally wanted to reach out, but when he heard the words "Thirteenth Aunt", he immediately took his hand back.

Seeing that Guan Zhilin took back his hand, Chen Shiping coughed lightly and said, "Film well. The second part should not be worse than the first. The most important thing in filming is to maintain your condition."

Guan Zhilin hummed, lowered her head and stopped talking. She felt that Chen Shiping seemed to dislike her, so she deliberately called Thirteenth Aunt.

Sure enough, accidents can always be accidents.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Guan Zhilin was about to get off when Chen Shiping suddenly said: "It's too late today. Go back and have a good rest. I'll see you tomorrow. If you want something to drink, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Guan Zhilin opened the door for a moment, his eyes lit up, he looked back at Chen Shiping and said, "You can drink anything."

"Okay, I understand, go back and have a rest early." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

After Guan Zhilin happily said good night, he opened the door and got out of the car.

When lying on the big bed in the hotel at night, Guan Zhilin felt somewhat belatedly that Aunt Thirteen was about to become his own switch.

When Chen Shiping returned home, Tao Huimin was still awake and reading in the bedroom.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Tao Huimin subconsciously glanced at the time. Less than forty minutes had passed.

The car was driving pretty fast.

When Chen Shiping came in, Tao Huimin said, "Be careful when driving in the future and don't drive so fast."

Chen Shiping: "." Which car are you talking about?

The next morning, Chen Shiping went to the factory to arrange for the crew to take the equipment to Gansu first, and then went to see Guan Zhilin in the afternoon, and also brought two bottles of mineral water.

Mineral water won’t leave any marks and dries quickly! It can also replenish water and keep you hydrated at all times. It is easy to spray after drinking too much.

In the quiet hotel room, Chen Shiping was washing his hands in front of the mirror. After washing his hands, he said hello to Guan Zhilin, took his coat and left.

When he came out of the room, he turned the sign on the door to the side that needed cleaning. The sheets and bedding in Guan Zhilin's room were all wet and needed to be changed.

The crew had already set off for Gansu, and Chen Shiping also left for Gansu with several leading actors the next day.

The salaries of those stars in Xiangjiang are not low. If you exceed the specified time, you will have to pay extra.

Chen Shiping didn't have that much time to waste. The most important thing was that after shooting New Longmen Inn, he still had to shoot Wives and Concubines.

During this period, every time I met Jiang Huaiyan, he would be asked when Wives and Concubines would be turned on, which made Chen Shiping confused.

I don't know if he is anxious or Jiang Shan is anxious.

Gansu is very big. In Chen Shiping's concept, Gansu is big in everything, including a huge territory, a huge desert, and huge sandstorms.

In the endless desert, Chen Shiping looked at the completed New Longmen Inn, and a feeling of desolation and loneliness suddenly hit him.

In the sky full of yellow sand, there was a lonely inn. The sign on the flagpole at the door was blown loudly, and the words "Longmen Inn" on it were blurred by the wind and sand.

In the jeep behind Chen Shiping, Lin Qingxia wrapped her veil and jumped out of the car, looking at the Longmen Inn with a strange feeling in her heart.

Chen Shiping turned to look at Lin Qingxia, who was wrapped up tightly, and said, "Madam boss, it's time to open the door."

Lin Qingxia walked towards the inn with a smile, her steps changing a little with every step she took, until she reached the door of the inn, looking like gold and jade.

The environment has a great impact on people. In such an environment, Chen Shiping felt inexplicably heroic and lonely, not to mention Lin Qingxia as an actor.

The layout of the inn is very different from that of the capital city, but it is basically the same. The crew sat inside and listened to the howling wind outside. It really felt like they had traveled to the Dragon Gate Inn.

The wind outside stopped after a while, and the crew hiding in the inn came out and started working.

The people from the equestrian team took out the horses and took the actors to pick out the horses, and then took them out for a ride to get familiar with the horses.

Chen Shiping was sitting in the inn at this time, sorting out his shooting plan. He had previously shot interior scenes in the capital, and the shooting plan was easy to make.

But the exterior scenes will be a lot more troublesome, and it also depends on the weather here. In addition, there are a lot of fighting scenes in the exterior scenes, which is very troublesome to shoot.

After Chen Shiping reorganized the shooting plan based on the situation in the desert, he began to arrange the shooting. Chase, escape, horseback riding and archery, breaking out of the siege, sunset, none of these scenes are simple.

Taken together, these many elements look more like a western movie. In fact, New Dragon Gate Inn is a western movie wrapped in martial arts garb.

It's just that it's not a lone hero who saves the beauty, but the loyalty and courage of a group of heroes.

Chen Shiping squinted at the setting sun and called Liang Jiahui and Liu Xiaoqing to get ready to ride.

The two got on their horses, grabbed the reins and controlled the horses, waiting for Chen Shiping's start.

Chen Shiping took the viewfinder and looked at it carefully for a while, and then made sure that the scene was OK before shouting "Start". This is because there was no way in the factory to develop and review the prints on the same day, so he could only smash it open and check it carefully before shooting.

When the camera started to move, Liang Jiahui and Liu Xiaoqing looked at each other, patted their horses and ran wildly.

The camera moved quickly to capture Chen Shiping standing in the bed of the jeep, holding the viewfinder in one hand and observing.

Suddenly, with a wave of his other hand, actors dressed in Dongchang costumes immediately rode towards the two people in front of them.

Chen Shiping slammed the roof of the jeep, and the driver immediately started the car to follow.

Chen Shiping held the car with one hand and kept looking at the camera through the viewfinder.

"Speed ​​up the car faster and pass the group of people in Dongchang! The photographer is ready to capture the front!"

"Okay, the camera cuts to Zhou Huai'an!"

"Zhou Huaian, look back! Look back! Quick, quick, quick, catch him close up!"

"Shoot out the prop arrow! Pay attention to the close-up!"

"Okay! Everyone slow down! Stop at the sand dune ahead."

"While the sun is setting, I'm catching silhouettes. I'm going to prepare a blower and blow it hard for me!"

After a few scenes, Chen Shiping felt that his throat was not working anymore, and he was fed a mouthful of sand. It felt like he could spit out half a pound of sand when he opened his mouth.

Everyone who came back from the inn after taking off their clothes could shake out half a pound of sand.

Chen Shiping sat on a stool and took off his shoes and poured out so much sand that the soles of his feet were rubbed red.

Both Liang Jiahui and Liu Xiaoqing had assistants bring hot water to wash their faces. Chen Shiping did not prepare a special assistant for himself. He was about to ask someone to fetch water for him when Lin Qingxia came over with a basin.

After Chen Shiping thanked him, he washed himself with hot water and felt better.

Filming in the desert was excruciating.

"Drink some water to moisten it, your throat is hoarse." Lin Qingxia handed Chen Shiping a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap.

After Chen Shiping took a sip of water, he said, "There's nothing I can do. The horse makes too much noise when it's running. The actors can't hear it if they don't shout."

"You, the director, work harder than the actors." Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "I have to thank you, otherwise I would have to eat sand now if I played Qiu Moyan."

"Why are you thanking me for your choice?" Chen Shiping cleared his throat and said, "If you are still as slimy as before, I won't give you a choice."

Lin Qingxia's face collapsed, what kind of adjectives are these, who is so sticky! Say it like you've tried it!

However, Lin Qingxia did not refute Chen Shiping. She was indeed emotionally entangled and hesitant. It would be great if she could be like gold with jade.

In order to get Zhou Huai'an, Jin Xiangyu would force him to marry her. As the owner of a black shop, her principles of life are simple and direct.

Grab it if you like it! It doesn’t matter if he likes me or not, I’ll grab it even if he doesn’t like me!

When Chen Shiping saw that she was silent, he put a hot towel on his face and said in a low voice: "If you are envious, just learn it. Sometimes it's easy to make up your mind. If you can't make up your mind, find someone who can help you make up your mind."

Lin Qingxia looked at Chen Shiping and said nothing for a long time. Who could help her make up her mind? She wanted to find someone domineering, but where could she find him?

The two people she has liked over the years are more entangled than her. They are not men at all. As long as there is a strong one, she is now married.

Lin Qingxia looked at Chen Shiping, a relatively familiar new friend, pulled off the towel from his face and leaned over and asked, "What do you think I should do?"

"I didn't know, I'm not your father." Chen Shiping pulled the towel back to cover his face. His throat was so sore that he no longer wanted to talk anymore.

Lin Qingxia: "." Your uncle asked you as a friend!

In the evening, the crew ate roasted whole lamb. Chen Shiping looked longingly at the fragrant, oily lamb, but did not dare to take a bite.

The spiciness of cumin was no longer something his broken voice could bear. He had difficulty swallowing even water, let alone eating meat.

hate it!

I can’t eat such good mutton!

Chen Shiping got up silently and went back to his room. If he continued to watch, he would kill someone!

Just when Chen Shiping was taking medicine and preparing to go to bed early, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Lin Qingxia standing outside, holding a casserole in her hand.

"Get out of the way, it's so hot, I can't hold it anymore." Lin Qingxia's voice changed as she held the casserole.

Chen Shiping immediately reached out and took the pot from her hand. Lin Qingxia immediately raised her hand and touched her ears, her expression almost distorted by the heat.

"Just run down the cold water." Chen Shiping held the pot and let Lin Qingxia in. He sniffed and smelled a special fragrance.

Lin Qingxia ran to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and flushed her red fingers.

He shouted over the sound of rushing water: "This soup is specially made for you, it will clear your lungs and soothe your throat."

Chen Shiping put the casserole on the table, opened the lid and saw that it was rock sugar and white fungus soup.

At this time, Lin Qingxia also came out of the bathroom and said with a smile: "Are you very touched?"

"Sister Qing made the stew, right?" Chen Shiping didn't believe that Lin Qingxia would make soup for him. She was just a waiter to death.

Lin Qingxia said in surprise: "You know this?! I can't make soup for you?"

"We're not that familiar yet, but thank you for bringing it to me."

Chen Shiping sat down and smelled the sweetness of the rock sugar, stirred the white fungus with a spoon, and then said, "You are so kind to me for nothing, do you want to ask me for something?"

Lin Qingxia immediately smiled and said, "I do need your help with a little thing."

Chen Shiping sipped the soup and ignored her. Lin Qingxia had to sit on Chen Shiping's bed and slowly talk about the whole story.

San Mao told Lin Qingxia that he had written a script before, and now he has finished it and wants to film it. However, most of the scripts are stories from the Mainland, so they must be co-produced.

When Sanmao talked to Lin Qingxia on the phone about this matter at night, she thought of Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping put down the spoon in his hand and asked, "Sanmao is in the mainland?"

Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "Yes, I'm in Changchun. Do you want to go and meet me?"

Chen Shiping scratched his eyebrows. Sanmao was one of his favorite female writers. Now that he had the chance to meet her, he really wanted to meet her.

But now that filming is so tight, I can only think about it.

Chen Shiping sighed and said, "Forget it if we meet. If you tell her that you trust me, I can be her producer."
