From 65438 to 0975, he returned to Hong Kong, where he was the guest host of the public relations company Michael Stevenson Limited, Radio Television Hong Kong and TVB TV. Later, Jiayi TV and Lili TV were added. 198 1 joined the new art city film industry as a decision-making class, and later formed a film studio with her husband Tsui Hark, and produced a series of classic films, including Huang Feihong series, ghost story series, Beijing Opera blues, Black Xia, Shushan and so on. "I often tell young people that there are two key points in doing a job: one is that you like it, and the other is that you have the ability to do it. I absolutely don't like publicity. If I do well, I can't leave with a raise. At that time, I was angry every day. I will become a big sister in a few years, unhappy and smelly. " Shi Nansheng originally planned to go after "Lili" was publicized for half a year, but after meeting a group of directors, Johnny Mak, director of the production department, decided that she was more suitable for production, so she was transferred to the production department to be the deputy director of the program, and Shi Nansheng really stepped into the film circle this time. "I'm in Li from 78 to 8 1. It was a new wave. In recent years, many people have made their first and second films. Many favored children are in the "wireless" film group, and Lili is a great success. TVB was shot down for the first time, but unfortunately, when the shares were sold to Australians, everyone dispersed. Johnny Mak went out to be a film company and let me participate; Xu Anhua and Joyce Chan also came to see me when they were filming "Hit the Right", saying that they would shoot an all-female class and let me be a producer. But I never did. The TV station worked hard in those years. I said I would have a good rest, and I didn't want to promise anyone.
In the early 1980s, with the financial support of Golden Princess Cinema, the troubled companies of Maijia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming were reorganized into "New Art City". The three brothers want to do their best, but they don't want to shoot any more martial arts dramas in the Republic of China, such as "Rebirth of Salted Fish" and "Crazy Cheaters". Just at that time, the new wave rose and made many refreshing masterpieces, so the new art city wanted to cooperate with the directors of the new wave. "How to find a new wave? They bought a biweekly movie that they usually don't watch at all, so they put on an act. Make the names of Tsui Hark and Guoming Zhang clear first. Upon inquiry, Tan Jiaming went to Xiaojiahe and Guoming Zhang. Fortunately, John Woo (who directed the adventure "Funny Times" in the New Art City) met Tsui Hark, so I want to introduce you to talk about it. I remember it was at the Peninsula Hotel, where tea was very popular at that time. I saw Shi Tian Maijia jump over. They are dressed exactly the same, wearing fur hats, fur coats, jeans and horns. Tsui Hark and I pretended to be enthusiastic. After they left, I said, why am I dressed like a gangster? At that time, many gangsters in the film industry dressed like this, haha. Later, we met and once visited their company, which was really strange. Mai Jia and Shi Tian didn't go to work until dark, but Huang Baiming was better. There are few people except a small secretary. I thought, if this company doesn't grow up, it must be managed. "
Shi Nansheng didn't expect that it was himself who later became the "housekeeper" of New Art City-"They said that the girl next to Tsui Hark was very stylish, so they looked for her. As a result, Huang Baiming came to me and said that the New Art City had a bright future and was taking off. He is good at this, but our management is very strict. I asked, what is the annual turnover of your company? He didn't understand the answer, so he said, what do you think? How many movies do you make a year, how much business do you have and how much budget do you have? He said we don't have it at present. I said, what size do you want? How big is it? He had to say again: What do you think? Later, Huang Baiming told me that they knew nothing about it, so they wanted to find someone to take care of them. I want to know them better. However, Tsui Hark has already made the first drama "Ghost Horse with Many Stars" for the New Art City, which was very good at the box office and won the Golden Horse Award. Everyone is very happy together. As a result, one day Huang Baiming told me that I had deposited your salary this month in your bank account. I feel embarrassed, so go to work at once. Besides Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Ceng Zhiwei and teddy robin also joined the New Art City, and finally formed a seven-person group. Shi Nansheng is the only person in charge of daily administration and production management. In this regard, she designed the administrative management mode of the production of the New Art City from scratch. " There was no production manager before the production department of New Art City. In the past, every play was a head, and the investment company sent an accountant there to give you a pack of money when filming. At first, I was not familiar with the film process. Later, I found that although filmmakers are not the same as TV, for example, TV has to shoot something every day. Movies are not necessarily the same, but they are basically the same. When I was at the TV station, a dozen groups of people were filming outside one day. Every deputy director carries thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of dollars in his bag, and his salary is only two thousand dollars. I'm not saying it's harmful, just in case he loses money, do you believe him? You punished him? You want him to give it back? You want him dead! So the TV station established a system: signature. For example, there is a new temporary note today. He can't run. It's good that you know him. You can settle accounts once a month to minimize cash. I'm not familiar with movies, so I use photocopies and handwritten ones first. Just try it. After trying out this system, we printed it in triplicate. Of course, their producers are not happy. People are strange animals, and they will be unhappy if they change their habits, whether it is good or bad. I know there will be resistance, but I am determined to do so and try to coordinate with them. As a result, more than 20 years have passed and the watch has not been changed. Anyone who starts shooting will cover the LOGO, paste their own LOGO and print a batch of the same. I am surprised that it is still in use. It has been more than 20 years, and there should be room for improvement. "At that time, the New Art City received the full support of Princess Jin, the" golden owner ". If you need money, just call and the money will be ready for you. But Shi Nansheng knows that filming must have a budget and be responsible for the cinema. At least three big dates should be given to Princess Jin. "Usually there are four or six plays in the New Year, summer vacation and Christmas, and there are hours, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which we will standardize. For example, how do I allocate my annual budget of 100 million? How big, medium and small, in terms of manpower. Therefore, it is necessary to make a timetable. First, you shoot, who is the starring role, who is the photographer and who is the editor, and the shooting is almost finished. That's all the photographers in this round. They usually start after the New Year, which is almost the summer vacation or the end of the year. After the summer vacation, autumn is just the right time to film, next year to film, Chinese New Year. The rhythm is like this. I found that 30 years later, it is still the same. Of course, there are exceptions, but generally companies with norms are similar. "With the efforts of Shi Nansheng, the company's administration, budget, production and other links have been completely standardized, and the New Art City has begun to get on the right track.
