Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 99 Xu Qing chooses one from the other

At the entrance of the splendid hotel, a black car slowly stopped.

The doorman at the door immediately came over and opened the door. Chen Shiping also opened the door and got out of the car, throwing the key to the doorman who specially parked the car.

The hotel service these days is really good. It is completely learned from foreign countries. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it was designed to receive foreigners from the beginning.

A few years ago, even Chen Shiping could not enter this hotel, and it only accepted foreigners.

However, this service has gradually declined since the reception of Chinese people.

The best shops and the best apartments in the capital are all for foreigners in order to earn tips and foreign exchange.

Chinese people do not have the habit of tipping, and after they gradually no longer need this method to earn foreign exchange, the service quality gradually declined.

Chen Shiping found it interesting when he thought about it. Living under socialism and engaging in such operations is really too social!

After Lin Qingxia, Xu Feng and the others checked in, they went downstairs to the coffee shop to meet Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping couldn't help but frown while drinking coffee. He really couldn't get used to drinking this.

"You don't like coffee?" Xu Feng asked with a smile.

"I prefer tea." Chen Shiping glanced at Lin Qingxia and added: "I also like soup."

Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, what the hell is soup?

Lin Qingxia, who was sitting next to her, widened her eyebrows after hearing this, and asked deliberately: "What kind of soup do you like to drink?"

"Rock sugar snow pear." Chen Shiping leaned back and said with a smile: "It's sweet and moist."

Lin Qingxia's face turned red and she couldn't help but say: "What a strange adjective."

Xu Feng looked at her strangely and said, "Isn't this normal? Rock sugar snow pear itself is very moisturizing, isn't it right?"

Chen Shiping couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Lin Qingxia's gold-inlaid-jade form has not yet evolved to its full form.

Xu Feng became even more depressed. Looking at Lin Qingxia who was blushing and shy and Chen Shiping who was laughing loudly, he felt that there was something fishy between them!

Could it be flirting? Damn it, I’ve become part of their game!

There are always many little episodes in life, and the topics that are very interesting are quickly skipped.

Xu Feng looked at the schedule made by Chen Shiping and couldn't help but frown and asked: "Do you really want to build a one-to-one overpass street?"

"Well, there are brothels and theaters in the eight major alleys."

Otherwise, how can we spend so much investment? You've already spent so much money, it's all in vain if you don't use it.

Xu Feng pondered for a while but did not refuse the request. Instead, he asked about Cheng Kaige.

"He was just about to make a new movie. I had invited him before, but he said it was a third-rate novel and he wouldn't make it."

Chen Shiping sneered and said: "The things he shoots are indeed very poetic, but he is too arrogant. He can't shoot a story like Farewell My Concubine unless someone can control him."

Xu Feng felt that Chen Shiping looked down on Cheng Kaige a little, and asked curiously: "Can't you suppress him?"

"I don't want to pressure him!" Chen Shiping said with inexplicable nausea.

Xu Feng: "." Why does it feel like his thinking is so active?

"Let me talk to him again. You are busy filming a new movie and co-productions. It is difficult to focus on Farewell My Concubine."

Seeing that Xu Feng was still insisting, Chen Shiping shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll help you ask him out tomorrow."

"Then I'll trouble you." Xu Feng said with a smile, "How about we talk about the world of mortals?"

Chen Shiping immediately shook his head and said, "I'm too busy and you're anxious. I won't participate in the world of mortals."

Next to her, Lin Qingxia couldn't sit still. She looked at Chen Shiping eagerly and said, "Your new movie won't start shooting right away. It will be finished soon. It's too late."

When Xu Feng saw Lin Qingxia like this, he was immediately sure that there must be something fishy between these two people!

Chen Shiping coughed lightly and said, "The new movie is a literary film, and the filming will be very slow. It may take three or four months. It will be too late."

Hearing what Chen Shiping said, Lin Qingxia had no choice but to turn her head and look at Xu Feng and asked: "When will the Gungun Hongchen Project be launched?"

Xu Feng glanced at Lin Qingxia in surprise, not expecting her to be so proactive.

"It hasn't been finalized with the mainland yet. It will probably take a month or two."

Lin Qingxia was immediately discouraged after hearing this, and Chen Shiping had no time.

It's boring. Without the gold and jade that Zhou Huai'an can tease, what fun would there be?

Chen Shiping and Xu Feng didn't care about Lin Qingxia's depression, so they left her alone to sulk.

Then the two of them talked about the specifics of the filming preparations for Farewell My Concubine.

Half an hour later, the two reached a basic consensus. If Xu Feng was unwilling to accept Cheng Kaige's meeting tomorrow, he would follow Chen Shiping's plan.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Shiping took the initiative to treat them to dinner.

The evening in Beijing in June was not that hot, so Chen Shiping took them to Houhai, wandered around in the alleys, and finally found a small shop to enter.

These two women are both rich and have never had any big meals, but this kind of smoky street shop is more interesting.

The snacks are paired with noodles with soybean paste. Although they are simple, they are very interesting in the evening breeze.

Of course, this kind of interest is very common for Chen Shiping, but it is more interesting for wealthy people like Lin Qingxia and Xu Feng.

The small plate of pea yellow was finished by them in a short time, and Chen Shiping ate a piece.

Chen Shiping took a bite of the candied garlic, looked at Lin Qingxia's disgusted expression and said, "Try it, it's delicious."

"No!" Lin Qingxia quickly moved the bowl back and stared at the sweet garlic in Chen Shiping's hand.

Xu Feng was very interested and took the initiative to take one to try.

After dinner, Chen Shiping led them around Houhai before sending them back to the hotel.

As a host, I am considered qualified.

It was almost ten o'clock when Chen Shiping got home, but Tao Huimin was still awake and was sitting at his desk writing biographies with a script.

Chen Shiping didn't quite understand this method. The script and the original work had already written the characters very clearly. If the actor himself wrote a biography of the character, it would inevitably conflict with the original image.

Either expand some details, or dig out some things that are not in the script and novel, but those are definitely not what the director and author want.

After Chen Shiping stood behind Tao Huimin and looked at it for a long time, he couldn't help coughing slightly and said, "What you wrote is wrong."

Tao Huimin was startled, turned around and saw that it was Chen Shiping, and beat him several times angrily.

"You scared me to death! Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

After typing, she came to her senses and immediately asked what was written wrong.

"Flute, that flute was not given by her father. You don't have to dig into it." Chen Shiping pointed out Tao Huimin's problem.

Tao Huimin frowned and said, "But that's what your script said."

Chen Shiping smiled and shook his head and said: "That was just an excuse for Songlian to deceive the master. The flute is what she misses."

"You have to pay attention to the scenes between her and the eldest wife's son. Her heart is not here, but after the flute was burned by the master, her thoughts were gone."

After Chen Shiping explained a lot, he couldn't help but knock Tao Huimin on the head and said: "Don't forget that Songlian is still a college student, and the flute is also a symbol, but you have to think about this yourself. If you talk too much, you will not be able to perform well." He nodded in understanding and didn't ask what the symbol was.

Actors need the director to tell the story, but more importantly, they need to understand it themselves. If they can’t understand it themselves, no matter how much the director talks about it, it will be useless.

Acting seems to be very simple, everyone makes happy, angry, sad and happy expressions, but it is difficult for the audience to believe your emotions.

Stylized performance and heartfelt expression are completely different.

When Chen Shiping saw Tao Huimin holding her chin in deep thought, he didn't bother her and went to take a shower and go to sleep.

I'm a little disappointed that I can't beat the fourth wife's feet tonight.

The next morning, Chen Shiping came to the factory to inquire about Cheng Kaige's movements, and then drove to the film school.

Cheng Kaige has been busy looking for actors recently, and Chen Shiping just remembered that he still needs to do good people and good deeds.

We can't let Xu Qing destroy Director Xiao Cheng's family.

Chen Shiping remembered that he had seen an interview with Hong Huang, talking about her divorce from Director Xiao Cheng.

It was because the two places were separated and I often heard rumors about Director Xiao Cheng's scandals that I felt jealous. In the end, they broke up completely because of Xu Qing's appearance.

When Chen Shiping drove to the entrance of the film school, he just showed his work ID and drove straight in.

After driving around the school, Chen Shiping saw Cheng Kaige, and next to him was the little girl Xu Qing.

Chen Shiping drove the car to Cheng Kaige and stopped, honking the horn in a playful manner.

"Director Cheng, am I not bothering you?" Chen Shiping rolled down the car window and looked at the startled Cheng Kaige and Xu Qing.

Xu Qing clutched her chest and turned to glare at Chen Shiping. She was about to curse but took it back.

She recognized Chen Shiping who was driving.

Cheng Kaige didn't have so many worries. He walked up to Chen Shiping and said politely: "This is school, who asked you to honk the horn!"

Chen Shiping really didn't expect this, so he opened the car door and got out of the station and walked to Cheng Kaige and said, "Thanks for the reminder, but this isn't the weekend and no one is in class."

"No quality!" Cheng Kaige snorted.

I was chatting happily with the little girl just now, but I felt unhappy when I was interrupted by Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping didn't bother to argue with him. He took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to her and said, "Mr. Xu from Tang Chen wants to meet you. Here is the address and phone number of the hotel. Please make a trip now."

Cheng Kaige didn't even look at the business card and said, "No, I don't have time!"

"Okay, Director Cheng has a temper."

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "By the way, what's the name of the movie you want to make? I've been forgetting to submit it. I'm going to Zhonghe Production for a meeting tomorrow, so I can help you submit it."

Cheng Kaige: "." So angry! Why is this boy so bad!

Chen Shiping waved his business card in front of Cheng Kaige and said, "Director Cheng, what is the name of your movie?"

Cheng Kaige held back his temper, reached for the business card and said, "Sing while walking! Let's also watch while walking to see whose movie can win the award!"

Chen Shiping suddenly realized and said: "Yes, yes, how could I forget such a poetic name? I just remember that the novel is called Ming Ruo Qin Xian. Tiesheng doesn't know how to name it without you."

Cheng Kaige was so angry that he turned around and left with a snort.

Xu Qing looked around and was about to chase after her when she was stopped by Chen Shiping.

"Little girl, come here, I have something to ask you."

Xu Qing stopped and looked at Chen Shiping in confusion. She didn't know what he was looking for. It couldn't be that he was looking for trouble.

If you and Cheng Kaige don't deal with each other, don't involve me.

Chen Shiping coughed and said, "Don't be confused, I'm talking about you, your name is Xu Qing."

She really knew my name. Xu Qing walked up to Chen Shiping in confusion and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

"I'm looking for you to film a movie, what else can I do with you?" Chen Shiping said with a smile: "I'll give you a minute to think about it, a joint venture movie, and a collaboration with a Hong Kong star."

Xu Qing's eyes lit up immediately and she asked immediately, "When? Director Cheng also asked me to make a movie just now."

"Director Cheng," Chen Shiping said, raising his hand and looking at the time on his wrist, "You still have forty seconds."

Xu Qing: "." You answered my question!

"Twenty seconds."

Xu Qing is now very torn between Cheng Kaige's literary film and Chen Shiping's co-production. Which one to choose?

"Ten seconds."

Xu Qing suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Shiping's young face. There was already impatience between his eyebrows.

Thinking of Chen Shiping's current momentum and potential, the moment Chen Shiping put down his arm, she shouted loudly: "Take it! I'll take it!"

Chen Shiping immediately showed a smile on his face and said: "That's right, people, the most important thing is to know what you want."

After saying that, Chen Shiping got in the car. Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and quickly ran over and pressed the window and asked, "Are you deliberately trying to cause a stumbling block for Director Cheng? Did you just lie to me?"

Chen Shiping, who was sitting in the car, lit the fire calmly, then turned to look at Xu Qing and said, "Do I need to lie to you? Just wait for my news, don't take any roles during this period, and lose weight."

After saying that, Chen Shiping stepped on the accelerator and left, leaving Xu Qing standing there alone in a daze.

Why is this guy so handsome?

Xu Qing shook her head violently, patted her face and said, "No, he did it on purpose. He and Director Cheng don't want to deal with each other!"

"Senior sister, what are you doing here? That was Producer Chen from Beijing Film Studio just now, right?"

A voice suddenly appeared behind Xu Qing. When she turned around and saw that it was Yu Feihong, who was one year younger than herself, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I have to leave first."

Looking at Xu Qing's leaving figure, Yu Feihong couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This senior had a lot of connections. She not only knew Cheng Kaige, but also Chen Shiping.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, just leave her alone.

Yu Feihong curled her lips and walked towards the dormitory.

After Chen Shiping came out of Beijing Film Studio, he went directly back to the factory. As for the movie he had just promised to Xu Qing, he didn't take it to heart at all.

It's Chen Shiping's purpose to let things dry first, to prevent her from ruining Cheng Kaige's feelings.

In the Beijing Film Studio, Chen Shiping parked his car and couldn't help smacking his lips. If you do one good deed a day, your merits will increase!

No, it should be merit plus two!

Today I asked Cheng Kaige to meet Xu Feng and gave him another chance to win Cannes. Let’s see if he can grasp it.

But there is a high probability that it is impossible. I almost made him angry to death just now, so he would only agree if he was crazy.

Chen Shiping, who was in a good mood, hummed a song and came to the conference room where the crew was meeting.

His Majesty the King was the only one in the conference room. Chen Shiping greeted with a smile: "Your Majesty is here so early."

Zhu Lin immediately smiled and said: "Don't call me Your Majesty, I am the second wife here."

"Well, hello, second wife." Mr. Chen smiled and sat down to wait for the others to arrive.
