Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

As the release date of "The Princess Diaries" approaches, Shan He and Hathaway are getting more and more hype from the media.

A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they are better than countless others in the world.

A European and American princess fell in love with a Chinese genius.

…

Titles like this abound in books, newspapers and magazines of all sizes.

There is even more noise on the Internet.

"I'll go, Shanhe has provoked Hollywood this time. This is awesome, you have to take a look!"

"This Anne Hathaway is really good-looking. She is such a big ocean horse, I would envy her in the mountains and rivers!"

…

"They came to China to make money, but a bunch of fools have taken out all the money in your pockets, and they are still here to indulge in obscenity!"

"What are the directors and actors in China doing? If this continues, Chinese-language movies will be completely out of date!"

Netizens chatted happily in several forum chat rooms.

This time, there are some signs that the public intellectuals are dying. It is probably because daddy, their financial backer from country M, has arrived, and they have to lick his face!

With these dazzling reports, "The Princess Diaries" and Anne Hathaway have also entered the public eye.

At this time, the big screen in China has reached its lowest point. Not counting films such as "Decision of Life and Death" that have exclusive screenings, Feng Xiaogang's "A Sigh" ranks first with a box office of more than 30 million.

Hollywood movies are not much better. The best "Elf" has less than 30 million, and the famous "The Matrix" only has more than 17 million.

This wave of operations by Disney Pictures is obviously to make money at a loss, and the drunkard’s intention is not to drink.

The purpose behind Disney Pictures is unknown. It is estimated that it is either to cultivate the market or needs popularity to make other investments.

Through a series of previous events, Shanhe has seen clearly that the interests of capital come first!

Regardless of the reason, "Princess Diaries" was released amidst all the commotion. Not to mention that Disney's operation was very effective. The domestic box office exceeded 10 million in the first week, reaching more than 12 million.

This is a rare good result. It immediately opened the eyes of domestic directors that publicity can still be done like this! The effect is amazing!

But it's a pity that at this time, there were mostly art film directors in China, and everyone made a living by judging awards and selling films. Feng Xiaogang is probably the only one left!

At this time, Feng Xiaogang was considered to be full of determination. He must be ranked among the top three domestic directors with box office appeal.

Although he is despised by other domestic film directors, he also has the ambition to make art films, but everything must be based on survival.

Disney's publicity strategy this time has indeed taught Director Feng a lesson. Celebrity publicity is so effective! He decided that in the future, he would also make movies with celebrities!

At this time, Feng Xiaogang was busy planning his next film. The story was already completed, but he was not satisfied with the script, so he called Shi Kang to help him write the third draft.

After talking about business, Feng Xiaogang and Shi Kang started chatting.

"Xiao Gang, your "Endless" and "A Sigh" are about to be fucked hard!" Shi Kang said jokingly.

"Isn't that right! I went towards 20 million when I saw it. It's not a bad thing. There are many big names in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It has enough appeal. It has no success at the box office and barely reached 15 million. But for such a story about a European sparrow turning into a phoenix, it stands to reason that domestic audiences have little interest in it. Just because of Qiushanhe, the box office exploded with a bang! It really opened my eyes!" Feng Xiaogang said in amazement.

"Haha!" Shi Kang laughed, "You look hot, so ask Shanhe for a script. His books are all about good subjects!"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but you have to support yourself first when pursuing art. Shanhe's books are more embarrassing. Those people who are art-oriented feel that it is not easy to win awards for his books. Europeans and Americans are not interested in watching your school bullying. There are many disadvantaged groups, and I would like to film them. To be honest, the box office risks are huge, and I can’t afford to lose money!”

Shi Kang nodded, "What you said makes sense. The key is because the domestic film industry is in a slump. You see, those foreigners are rushing to buy the copyright of Shanhe. On the contrary, we in China are holding on to our golden rice bowls and begging for food! What do you mean? Who can reason with me!"

Feng Xiaogang sighed and responded: "No matter what I do, it's not easy. I'd better make my comedy first. "A Sigh" shocked me. Art is still too luxurious for me. Got it!"

"Zhao Baogang is filming Shanhe's script. It seems to be a hospital workplace drama. I heard that the filming is almost finished. It seems that Shanhe, a writer who has always said he wants to be a director, also knows that there is no way to go and is working on a TV series first!" Shi Kang Gossip said.

"I've known about this for a long time. Zhao Baogang boasted about it before filming, saying that the script was very good and that he would create a trend of workplace dramas!" Feng Xiaogang took a sip of water and continued, "That kid from Shanhe really wants to be a Director, you haven’t read the newspaper, right? He came to Beijing to take the art exam some time ago, and finally ranked first in the Beijing Film Academy. I’m very optimistic about this kid. He does everything he says, and he’s quite a man!"

"Having said that, the foreigners' publicity plan this time is really good. If you ask me, you also have to learn. Just being able to make movies is not enough!" Shi Kang turned the topic to movies again.

"Aren't I just thinking about it! From now on, I have to make fuss about celebrities!" Feng Xiaogang looked thoughtful.

At the same time, Cui Yongyuan, who was recording "One Story, One Story", sneezed. Who is thinking about me?

Shanhe didn't know what Feng Xiaogang thought of him. He was currently glaring at Bruckheimer and losing his temper.

"Jerry, you still need to invest resources and continue to consume me, it's almost done!"

"Qiu, Disney's publicity has exceeded expectations. It seems that your appeal in China is higher than expected. You don't have to worry about being affected. Disney has a professional market assessment. Continuing publicity will do more good than harm to you!" Bruckheimer responded calmly.

Shanhe covered his forehead and said, "My style has been completely shattered this time!"

"Haha!" Bruckheimer said with a smile: "Isn't this good? What the public needs is a real mortal, not a superior god!"

Bruckheimer's words made Shanhe stunned for a moment, and there was some truth in what he said!

"Forget it, there's no need to complain anymore when it's a fait accompli. How much will the Chinese box office of "Princess Diary" reach?" Shan He dropped the topic.

Bruckheimer replied: "It can reach about 35 million. Your Chinese market is too small. It's incredible. A big country with a population of more than one billion only has such a small box office!"

"China is going through changes. The public's consumption habits are different from those of your country M. Although it is inconspicuous now, it has huge potential. Otherwise, Disney wouldn't come here to promote it!" Shanhe responded in a deep voice.

"We probably won't be able to stay for a few more days. The Neon Country will be our next stop." Bruckheimer stood up and looked at Shanhe's small study room. "Qiu, how is your new book? I've been waiting for you. script!"

Shanhe rolled his eyes at Bruckheimer and said, "A big producer like you is still short of scripts. I heard that there are a lot of scripts lined up in Disney's script library!"

"You are right. There are many scripts and ideas, but they are too risky. Mature producers will not easily start projects that they are not sure about. This industry will not give you the opportunity to try and make mistakes!"

Shanhe fully agreed with Bruckheimer's words.

"Most of "Parasite" has been completed, and I am revising it as I write it. It seems that the quality is in line with my expectations. I will let you know once it is completed. Scholar Press has found a translator, and it will be published no later than the Chinese New Year next year. Finally, the English version will come out!"

Bruckheimer got the exact news, felt better, and casually flipped through Shanhe's collection of books in the study.

"Qiu, do you want to come to Country M next summer? "The Fault in Our Stars" will not disappoint you. The first cut has been completed. We all think Gore's film is great. You should go and witness it." Check out the box office craze you created!"

"Let's talk about it later, you guys are scaring me!" Shanhe looked at each other with lingering fear, "By the way, Jerry, my family invites you to come to my house for a meal, please arrange a time before leaving!"

"You Chinese people are the most hospitable people I have ever seen. When I was in China, people invited me to dinner almost every day. It was an eye-opener for me. Thank you and your family for me. I will arrange the time!"

The Princess Diaries is wrapping up its second week in theaters, and Disney's publicity team is getting ready to move on to Neon.

Shanhe and Hathaway never had the chance to get along alone in China. At the height of the limelight, Shanhe didn't want to give Disney any more opportunities to hype.

But at the end of the promotion, Shanhe invited her and Bruckheimer home as guests.

Xie Meiyu looked at this foreign girl who was half a head taller than her. This was the first friend of the opposite sex her son had brought home, and she was also a foreigner. An indescribable feeling came to her heart. Her son had really grown up. Yes!

"Anne, this is my mother, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen just now. Mom, this is Anne Hathaway, my friend in the United States!"

Xie Meiyu rolled her eyes at her son, and even asked you to introduce me to me. The newspaper was almost full of it! This girl is indeed attractive, tall, with big eyes, a straight nose, good skin, but her mouth is a bit big!

"Hello, Anne, welcome to my home!" Xie Meiyu extended her hand to welcome Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway has been a little uneasy since she received the invitation from Shanhe. She has learned about the situation in China. Puppy love partners like her are not welcome in Chinese families.

But Shanhe's family received her with unexpected enthusiasm. The youngest girl in the family even followed her, looking at her with curiosity and expectation!

Hathaway regretted a little, why she forgot to prepare a separate gift for Shanhe's sister!

Seeing Shanhe's mother reaching out, Hathaway quickly grasped Xie Meiyu's enthusiasm with both hands, "Auntie, hello, I am Anne Hathaway, and I am Shanhe's friend from Country M!"

Under Shanhe's translation, Xie Meiyu and Anne Hathaway chatted for a few words, then grabbed Qiu Chuxi behind them and returned to the kitchen.

"Mom, my brother's girlfriend is really fair and tall. I wish I could be this pretty in the future! I have to ask my brother what she usually eats?"

"I still don't know your little thoughts. Do you know what politeness means? Don't embarrass your brother. Otherwise, if you look good, just stay here and don't go anywhere!"

Shanhe couldn't help laughing while listening to the conversation between his mother and sister.

The dinner was quite enjoyable. With the translations of Qu Ling and Shan He, both the host and the guest communicated well.

This was Bruckheimer's second time as a guest, so drinking was unavoidable. During the exchange of drinks, he soon became red in the face and talked more and more, which neither Shan He nor Shan He could translate.

Hathaway is surprisingly good at eating spicy food, and she also has a good drinking capacity. People in M ​​country don't know how to be polite. No matter how uneasy she is, it doesn't stop her from eating and drinking when she should!

After drinking and eating, Xie Meiyu pulled Qu Ling and Anne Hathaway into a nonsensical chat.

Shanhe accompanied Bruckheimer and Yu Zhengchong to make tea to relieve their hangover.

As the night got darker, the two guests said goodbye, and Shanhe and Qu Ling sent them out of the door.

When leaving, Qu Ling arranged for the driver Xiao Wu to take the somewhat drunk Bruckheimer to the hotel.

Looking at the two gay boys, he sighed, "You two, get in my car! Annie will leave soon, Xiaohe, please talk to her for a while!"

After Shanhe was stunned for a while, he and Hathaway got into Qu Ling's car.

Qu Ling started the car and drove towards the hotel. On the way, Qu Ling looked at the two Huaxin teenagers in the rear mirror. They sat quietly in the back seat, occasionally looking at each other and smiling in return.

"Xiaohe, there are hats and masks in the car. We will arrive at the hotel soon. You can accompany Annie up there. But Xiaohe, you have to understand that there is more than just the Pacific Ocean between China and M!" Qu Ling said to Shanhe while driving. .

Shanhe nodded after listening, "I understand, I will go home by myself and won't cause any more trouble!"

"I already treat you as an adult. I believe you won't let us down! Be careful!" Qu Ling said nothing after finishing his instructions.
