Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Shanhe returned home early the next morning. Surprisingly, his family did not question him. Qiu Jiang just patted him on the shoulder!

Two days before New Year's Day, the Disney Pictures' promotional team left China, and Shanhe did not go to the airport to say goodbye.

The confusion and entanglement that night was already a perfect farewell!

Reunion and separation are an unsatisfactory cycle. You can't force it. If we meet again by fate, and we are all well, it will be a sunny day!

On the first day of the New Year in 2001, there was a light snowfall in the city. The snow in the city basically covered the ground and then melted. People could not feel its existence, but the temperature dropped a lot.

Shanhe led Doudou to walk by the sycamore tree near his home. Doudou seemed to have matured and no longer wanted to break free like before. One person and one dog walked leisurely on the sidewalk full of fallen leaves. .

"Emergency Doctor" has completed all production. Before Shanhe could see the finished film, Shanghai TV purchased the first-round broadcast rights for 300,000 yuan per episode.

Everyone at Shanghai TV is very optimistic about this TV series, and is planning to broadcast it as a new year drama, and has already launched a publicity plan.

The successful sale of the first round of broadcast rights allowed "Emergency Room Doctor" to immediately make back its investment, which amounted to 10.5 million for thirty-five episodes, which wiped out the total investment of 9 million and left a net profit of 1.5 million. .

The production of TV dramas at this time was different from that of later generations. The cast and crew's remuneration accounted for less than 30%, and the highest-paid male and female protagonists in the entire drama did not exceed one million combined.

With sufficient production funds, the entire TV series can be exquisite and watchable.

Shanhe was going to go to Magic City TV Station after walking Doudou to see the results of the film. Zhao Baogang repeatedly boasted to him on the phone that this time he had expanded the boundaries of workplace dramas. Shanhe had to see if he was exaggerating.

This is Shanhe's first domestic work to appear on the screen. Although he cannot control it himself, Shanhe still hopes that this drama can open up his reputation in the film and television industry and give him the confidence and connections to enter.

Shanhe met Sun Xueping at the gate of Magic City TV Station.

"Shanhe, Zhao Baogang has returned to the capital. Something happened in his company. I will take you in. You are a rare person. I only went to the set three times in total. Except for your accountant, you and Qu Ling didn't show their faces. , I’m so relieved!”

Shanhe responded with a smile: "What are you worried about? Director Zhao is there for filming and production, and Auntie Sun is for promotion and distribution. Your team is at the top of the industry in China. We just took a ride and recovered the cost right before our eyes." It’s not too late to be happy!”

"Haha!" Sun Xueping smiled and led the way, "Shanhe, you are getting better and better at talking. You have changed a lot in the past few months. You don't look like a boy under eighteen years old at all!"

"People always have to grow up. I've been having a hard time these past few months!" Shanhe replied self-deprecatingly.

Sun Xueping's laughter became even louder, "You are a talented man. It is normal to be favored by beautiful women. Don't worry about it. A few tidbits are harmless!"

The two entered the recording and editing room chatting and laughing. There were already several middle-aged men and women sitting and chatting in the room.

"Shanhe, these are all production directors of various TV stations. They previewed the finished film with us. This is also the basic work for the second and third rounds of bidding for broadcast rights."

Sun Xueping introduced several production directors to Shanhe one by one. After greetings, the staff started playing "Emergency Doctor".

An hour and a half later, the first two episodes of "ER" were finished.

Several people on the chair came to their senses from the plot. In the eyes of several production directors, this TV series reflecting the life of doctors was unexpectedly good.

Different from the original workplace drama, it is more vivid and the plot is smooth. The meeting between the male and female protagonists at the beginning has the flavor of Hong Kong and Taiwan idol dramas, but there is no sense of alienation. They are all familiar events in the hospital, and the sense of immersion is strong.

The young doctor in the emergency department played by Wang Zhiwen is a bit arrogant and cheerful. He looks carefree on the surface, but he is actually a good and responsible doctor.

Zhou Xun plays an elite who has returned from studying abroad. He has a superior family background, a pure temperament, and is not good at dealing with others. In the hospital, he is an authentic Bai Fumei.

The plot starts with the encounter and conflict between the two, which is very entertaining.

"The first two episodes have been broadcast. Let's take a break. If you have any opinions, you can put forward your opinions." Sun Xueping stood up and said, "Xiao Li, give everyone some water!"

"Director Sun, when will the second and third rounds of this film be released? On behalf of Shannan Satellite TV, I will reserve a spot first!"

"Old Wang, you have decided on the quota, do you know about the auction..."

"The film was shot really well. The key is that it looks good. I didn't appear in the entire two episodes. I think all future workplace dramas will have to be shot like this!"

"As long as the following episodes maintain this level, I can guarantee that the ratings of this film will not be less than ten points!"

…

Shanhe listened to the words of several senior production directors and felt as comfortable as a piece of silk.

Zhao Baogang's filming is great. In addition to the props and costumes that bear the unique mark of this era, this TV series can be said to surpass all workplace dramas of this era.

"Everyone, the first round hasn't been broadcast yet. Today is the perfect time to invite everyone to come and take a look. The second and third rounds will be decided based on the results of the first round broadcast on Modu Satellite TV. We will definitely notify each TV station by then. Yes!" Sun Xueping declared with determination.

"You, Magic City TV, got a free ride this time, Shanhe. Shannan TV can also cooperate with us if there are scripts in the future. Our production capabilities are no worse than those of Magic City TV!"

"That's right, hello Shanhe, I am Zhou Zihan from Mango TV. This is my business card. If you have any projects in the future, you can contact us. One more partner will open up a new path!"

…

Sun Xueping was furious when she looked at these production directors who were trying to build relationships with each other.

Shanhe held a few business cards in his hand, which was a bit unexpected and surprising. Although he was not familiar with several production directors, the Zhou Zihan who just said it was right, more roads are better than just one!

"I told you, that's enough. This is the Magic City TV station. Shanhe, ignore them. If you have any scripts, please send them to your Aunt Sun first. We will make a few more high-quality movies!" Sun Xueping said with a smile.

Sun Xueping knew that after the TV series was broadcast, Shanhe's scripts would become even more popular and competition would be inevitable.

"Xue Ping, we are all old acquaintances. The current TV drama market is in turmoil. Last year there were a lot of good dramas, but the ratings exceeded 10 and were not even ranked in the top three. You still want to make a few high-quality movies, I will watch Magic City Satellite TV can’t even eat it!”

"Haha! That's right, the circle is so big, you still want to wrap up a talented writer like Shan He!"

It was obvious that the production directors were all very familiar with each other, and they were chatting and joking with Sun Xueping in a sarcastic manner.

Then a few people watched two more episodes of the film, and the quality did not drop. The last two episodes have entered into a small plot, characters have appeared one after another, and various aspects of the world have begun to unfold in the emergency room!

As the subtitles appeared, the special words of thanks from Nanshi District No. 1 Hospital also came into view, and all the doctors and nurses who provided the materials were listed on it.

It was only at the end of last year that Nanshi District had become history. It was merged with Pudong District and disappeared. The First Hospital of Nanshi District has also become Pudong District Shuguang Hospital.

After the internal viewing, Shanhe declined Sun Xueping's dinner invitation and said goodbye to the production directors.

He had to go home and finish the first draft of "Parasite."

"Parasite" has reached the end. Björk shot the rich man and hid in the basement. For his obsession, he gave everything he had, and finally broke into particles like glass, with bright red blood stains on it.

Just two days after returning from Shanghai TV Station, after nearly half a year of conception and creation, the first draft of "Parasite" was completed.

Shanhe set the maid and the man in the parasitic basement in the original drama as a Mexican couple smuggled in, which brought greater conflict to the plot.

Shanhe organized the manuscript into a volume, rubbed the lines between his eyebrows, and dialed Qu Ling's phone number.

It was already late at night when Qu Ling read the first draft of "Parasite". The winter magic city made her feel so cold that she even felt like she was being stared at by the despairing eyes of the book's protagonist, Björk.

She stood up from the sofa and poured herself some scalding hot water, as if she wanted to get more warmth from the hot water.

Shanhe's book has completely broken away from the reading category of teenagers. He is attacking the peak of literature.

The whole book is shrouded in a sense of black despair. Even the joyful daily life of the Bjork family in the opening chapter and the absurd invasion reveal a sense of tragic fate!

It can be seen that Shanhe tried his best to tell the whole story more relaxed and readable. After all, he is just a boy under the age of 18. The few books he has written are all best-sellers for teenagers. He has literary attributes in his mind. It's not strong, more of it continues the pace of best-selling books.

But it is precisely this strenuous concealment that gives the book a huge sense of contrast. When Qu Ling saw the ending, he even went back to the beginning and began to experience the author's description of the Beyork family again. The suffering of the black family in the opening chapter Zhongzuole seemed so sad and helpless. The tragedy did not happen by chance. It was a fateful despair. In the end, the family's efforts seemed like a ridiculous joke!

Qu Ling covered the scalding glass of water with both hands, her emotions still deep in despair, and she felt a little hesitant and confused.

This is a great book! The impact it brings is huge. The last time Qu Ling had such a feeling was after watching Yu Hua's "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood". The same blackness, the same despair!

Qu Ling unknowingly drank the hot water in the cup, shook her head, walked to the window sill, and opened the window. A wave of cold and fresh air rushed towards her face. She took a deep breath and patted He patted his cheek to get rid of his emotions.

She is the first reviewer of this novel. She has to find out the flaws in it. She must examine it rationally and cannot be fooled by emotion!

The next day, Shanhe met Qu Ling at his door.

Looking at Qu Ling's slightly swollen and red eyes, Shanhe asked: "Aunt Qu, you stayed up late, there's no need to be in such a hurry, I've given you the manuscript, please review it slowly!"

Qu Ling picked up the water glass on the table and poured herself a glass of water. "Do you know what it feels like for an editor to discover that a good book was born in his hands? Reviewing it slowly only means that the book is not good enough!"

After listening to Qu Ling's answer, Shan He grinned, "The review is so high. Master also finished reading it overnight. My dad has been in the study since he got up early in the morning and he hasn't come out yet!"

As soon as Shan He finished speaking, Yu Zhengchong and his wife heard the noise and walked out of the house.

"Qu Ling, you're here. Have you finished reading "Parasite"? We, the old couple, also read it in one breath overnight. We were so trembling that we could feel the chill even when we were wrapped in bed!" Yu Zhengchong was eager to find someone to communicate with. Experience.

"Xiaohe's book is very absurd. I always feel that Xiaohe is deliberately hiding the weight of this fate, but the more he feels like he is half-covering his face with his pipa, it's so sad!" Ms. Xie also commented. Thoughts.

Qu Ling raised the corner of his mouth. After reading a good book, probably everyone is like this and is eager to share his experiences with others.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Xie, I also read the whole novel in one night. To be honest, I drank several glasses of boiled water last night and I couldn't feel the warmth. Xiaohe's book is very well written. No, I just woke up. Coming here!"

"Xiaohe has grown up too fast. I can't find a hint of youthfulness in the book. The whole book is dark, and there is sadness in the joy. The writing is so powerful that it shines through the paper!" Yu Zhengchong was full of praise for his disciple.

"Master, you are too subjective! I have repeatedly revised the daily life of the Bjork family and wanted to make the opening more relaxed and joyful. I feel that it was a bit deliberate and I am not sure!" Shanhe responded to Yu Zhengchong with a smile.

Yu Zhengchong glanced at Shanhe, and the old boy's determination rose, "This is how I felt after reading it. Your teacher agrees with it. I still need to praise you! Ask Qu Ling, she is an expert, if I said it right? exaggerate!"

"Haha!" Qu Ling was amused by Yu Zhengchong's reaction, "Mr. Yu, you are right. This new book can be said to be a new milestone for Xiaohe. It has made huge progress. It can be said that he has already reached the level of the muse. garden!"

Qu Ling paused for a while and continued: "His most representative work in the past was "We Are Young People". For Xiaohe's age at that time, it was already groundbreaking, but objectively this book was only a best-seller for teenagers. , in terms of pure literary quality, it is not as good as "Heritage on the Bite of the Tongue", but this new book "Parasite" is different, the literary relevance in the book is already very strong, and the writing is also much more mature!"

After Yu Zhengchong listened, he glanced at Shanhe with pride, "Listen, this is your Aunt Qu's evaluation. I'm just saying that my feeling is not wrong. You have to say that I'm not objective enough. Now I have nothing to say!"

Mrs. Xie smiled and patted Yu Zhengchong, "You are so interesting. You insisted on breaking up with Xiaohe so early in the morning, and now you have found a helper!"

Ha ha…

Qu Ling and Shan He both laughed.

Qu Ling took over the topic with a smile, "Xiaohe, you need to think carefully about the rhythm of your creation. I know you want to increase the readability of the book and try your best to hide the heaviness. In "Parasite", it just gives the story a contrast. Effect, this shouldn’t be your original intention, right? You have to adapt to your own growth. Your current level can create pure literary works, which will naturally sell well. But which writer doesn’t want to touch the peak of art, that is another realm, and you have to distinguish It’s in the category of good novels!”

Qu Ling's words made Shanhe fall into deep thought. Qu Ling was worthy of being a senior editor, and Shanhe's contradiction was pointed out with one word.

"Aunt Qu, I have always believed that literature is not a luxury product that only a few people appreciate. I maintain my opinion and let more people see my works. That is my original intention. I will seriously consider your suggestions. , it is difficult to appreciate both refined and popular tastes, but I will try my best to move in this direction!"

After listening to Shan He's words, the three of them looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.

"Xiaohe, I can see the character of perseverance in you, and it's so early! Following others and following the herd is not a good thing for a creator. Master Xie is proud of you!" Xie Master even applauded Shanhe's words. .

Shan He scratched his head and said, "Master, you and Master are bragging! I don't have the character you say. Look, others are starting to call me a prodigal!"

Ha ha…

"What are you talking about? You are chatting so happily?" Qiu Jiang walked out of the study at this time, "Xiaohe, your book "Parasite" is a bit like Yu Hua's "Alive"! Despair, I only see despair !”

"Dad, what you said is too exaggerated. "Alive" is an epic, and I dare not compare it to it!" Shanhe waved his hand and said.

"Qiu Jiang, have you finished reading the book?" Yu Zhengchong called Qiu Jiang over to sit down, "Did I exaggerate my evaluation of Xiaohe?"

"Teacher, I am Shanhe's father. For you to ask me to praise him is a bit against the rules of father and son!" Qiu Jiang replied with a smile.

"Haha! I see you, Qiu Jiang, are so proud! Now your son has completely fulfilled your dream!" Yu Zhengchong responded with a laugh.

"Hey, I, Qiu Jiang, am a writer and his father is not a grade above a writer!" Qiu Jiang said proudly.

Ha ha…

Everyone laughed and chatted about their thoughts on "Parasite". Qiu Jiang talked the most, which shows how happy and proud he is!

After lunch, Qu Ling planned to go back and notify Scholar Publishing House to communicate with them about the translator they had selected.

"Xiaohe, I did a rough review yesterday. There are no logical problems. Some paragraphs still have some flaws. I will give my opinions as soon as possible. I will contact Scholar Press as soon as possible. Please do your revision and translation at the same time. It will be more efficient. !”

"Okay, as before, Aunt Qu, you make the decision!"

"Okay, you go back, I'll use you to send it!"
