Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

When Shanhe received Qu Ling's call, he and his family were busy preparing New Year's goods.

The popularity of "Parasite" in country M was beyond Shan He's expectation.

Bruckheimer also called Shanhe, and Disney Pictures' emphasis on "Parasite" was also unexpected by Shanhe.

Bruckheimer strongly invited Shanhe to participate in rewriting the movie script over the phone, and promised to find a big director to direct "Parasite".

Shanhe rejected Bruckheimer's invitation. "Parasite" is a story from Country M. Shanhe's adaptation is bound to be less suitable for the Country M market than a local from Country M.

Shan He doesn't think about anything now, he just wants to welcome the New Year happily and peacefully with his family.

However, the reality is exactly the opposite of his wishes.

The public opinion and sales wave caused by "Parasite" in Country M quickly spread back to China.

This news has once again heated up the discussion that had gradually subsided.

"In "Parasite", Country M shows its prestige, and the mountains and rivers become famous!"

""Parasite" triggered demonstrations by black people in Country M, and Shanhe exposed the social crux of Country M!"

“Parasite’s first-week sales in Europe and America exceeded 650,000, creating a new history for Chinese books!”

“Disney Pictures announced that it has started developing a film adaptation of “Parasite” and will go all out to compete for the Oscars!”

…

Domestic newspapers and magazines, large and small, all reported on the sensation caused by "Parasite" in country M.

At the same time, the ratings of "Emergency Room Doctor" have also steadily increased, and the ratings exceeded 15 points when episode 18 was broadcast.

"Emergency Doctor" also triggered a public viewing boom, and the social problems and contradictions reflected in the play also attracted media attention and reports.

Wang Zhiwen's superb acting skills have been repeatedly praised by the public and the media. His career has exploded into a second spring, and various scripts have been handed to him in an endless stream.

Zhou Xun's gains were even greater than those of Wang Zhiwen. Although she had already made her mark in China, her popularity among the people was not high. The public knew her for her role as the young Taiping in "Ci of the Ming Dynasty".

The great success of "Emergency Room Doctor" brought Zhou Xun a leap in fame. She went from a potential little flower to a domestic first-line actress in one fell swoop.

Several young actors who played supporting roles in the film also benefited a lot. Young newcomers such as Li Xiaoran and Ma Yili all left a deep impression on the audience. Even Qin Lan gained a lot of favor!

Sun Xueping and Zhao Baogang are already preparing to start the second and third rounds of bidding for broadcast rights.

The intersection of two hot topics, "Parasite" and "ER", has added fuel to Shanhe's popularity in China.

News about Shanhe can be seen in almost every newspaper, and he appears frequently on TV.

Shan He was not only famous in the literary circle for a while, but also became very popular in the entertainment circle!

An endless stream of invitations fell into the hands of new agent Yang Liu.

"Shanhe, these are interview requests from various media, including newspapers, magazines and TV stations. Take a look!" Yang Liu handed the thick stack of invitations to Shanhe.

Shanhe frowned, took it and browsed it, "I won't accept interviews until the end of the year. We'll talk about it after the year. Did Aunt Qu say when she will return to China?"

"Mr. Qu still has to stay in country M for a few days. The royalties settlement for Scholar Publishing House is still somewhat finalized, and Disney Pictures' adaptation also requires her authorization signature!" Yang Liu answered truthfully.

Shanhe nodded when he heard the words, "Yang Liu, there should be nothing wrong before the New Year. You and Brother Wu should go home to celebrate the New Year. Spend more time with your family. You will be very busy after the New Year."

Yang Liu received Shanhe's concern and responded with a smile: "Brother Wu and I both live in Magic City. Brother Wu is a little far away, and I'm in the city. It's very convenient to go home. Shanhe, please call me anytime if you need anything. If it’s okay, I’ll leave first!”

"OK!"

Shanhe looked at Yangliu's back and smiled. This young manager was Qu Ling's chosen successor. Shanhe was quite satisfied with her. Although he was not as sophisticated and agile as Qu Ling and was a little timid in handling things, she learned She is very fast and has a strong sense of responsibility. I believe that Qu Ling will gradually let her arrange all the daily chores of Shanhe.

Home is the destination of everyone's soul. No matter how stormy it is outside, most people can find a peaceful haven when they return home.

The same is true for Shanhe. Whether it is famous or praised by the outside world, Shanhe has shut it out of the house and spent the last few days of 2000 with his family in peace and warmth.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Qu Lingcai rushed back to the Magic City from Country M. This trip to New York was a fruitful one.

The sales boom of "Parasite" in Europe and the United States continues. The royalties alone accounted for nearly more than 2.5 million U.S. dollars, after tax, plus more than 1.1 million U.S. dollars after tax from the sale of film and television rights. , as well as the subsequent income from "Send You a Little Red Flower", added up bit by bit, Shanhe's account has nearly four million US dollars more in cash.

At the same time, the popularity of "Parasite" in Europe and the United States has brought Shanhe a huge reputation. In the European and American literary and publishing circles, Shanhe is no longer a nobody. He has a certain social influence and enough popularity, and Shanhe has some say. Quan, he has established a solid foundation abroad and is no longer afraid of rumors. As long as Shanhe can continue to move forward, his future will be bright!

One day after being reunited with his family, Qu Ling and his family came to Shanhe's house as guests.

As soon as Qu Ling's family of three entered the door, they saw Qiu Chuxi being taken care of by Xie Meiyu.

The arrival of Qu Ling's family saved Qiu Chuxi once. Xie Meiyu didn't care about dealing with her anymore and was busy greeting Qu Ling and his wife.

Seeing the opportunity, Qiu Chuxi ran into the yard with Doudou and Qu Ling's daughter Jiajia.

"What's wrong with Xixi? Why do I keep watching you deal with her? Girls shouldn't be too strict!" Qu Ling asked with a smile.

"As long as she is half as well-behaved and sensible as Jiajia, I can always take care of her, and the whole family will hold her in the palm of my hand. If I don't be stricter, she will fly into the sky!" Xie Meiyu complained to Qu Ling.

"Haha! That's true. At least Shanhe is responsive to my sister's requests!" Qu Ling grinned even louder, "By the way, I brought some things back from Country M, and they were all in the bag that Old Wu was carrying. There is a set of cosmetics given by Disney, they are said to be very high-end, please remember to separate them out!”

Xie Meiyu nodded and responded: "Xiaohe's matter has burdened you. It's almost the New Year and you have to go abroad. I feel a little sorry!"

"Meiyu, why are you so pretentious? I have the money to share! Besides, didn't you invite me to manage the company together? These are all my duties!"

When Xie Meiyu heard Qu Ling talk about the company, she quickly asked: "Qu Ling, have you decided? It would be great if you came to help me. Now there are more and more things in the company. I originally just wanted to do something The name is convenient for making payments, but Xiaohe’s progress is so fast, and all kinds of messy industries are involved, and my head is so busy!”

"Haha! Xiaohe's making money is really fast. This time he received nearly four million US dollars, and I also made a lot of money with him!" Qu Ling responded to Xie Meiyu, "I discussed it with Lao Wu, and it's settled. I will take a leave of absence without pay to concentrate on being Xiaohe’s agent, and Germination Publishing House has already said hello!”

"Great, what kind of agent do you want to be? Don't you have that girl Yangliu? Come over and be the general manager of Chuhe, and I will give you another remuneration. Xiaohe means that you must also have management shares in the future." Xie Meiyu happily grabbed Qu Ling's hands.

Qu Ling also held Xie Meiyu's hand and said with a smile: "That's great! Chairman Xie, I will work under you from now on, haha, but Xiaohe's copyright must still be managed by the company, and Yangliu is still too young. , let her be responsible for Xiaohe’s daily work first, wait a year or two for her to mature, and then let her take over! I’m more optimistic about her!”

"Haha! You have the final say on Xiaohe's affairs. A few days ago, the foreigner named Haimo even called you to praise you, saying that you had cornered him! Our family is so lucky. I met a capable person like you!"

While the two female generals were exchanging management experiences and development plans, Shanhe walked away from the bragging of several men.

"Mom, Aunt Qu, what are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

Hearing this, Xie Meiyu turned to Shanhe and said, "Your Aunt Qu has decided to come to the company to help me next year. Now I can relax. Xiaohe, we will go out to eat at noon. You go and book a place!"

"Okay!" Shanhe was also happy when he heard the news that Qu Ling was going to be the president of Chuhe, "I'll go tell the master and the others to eat local food for lunch!"

Qu Ling's decision made the lunch atmosphere lively. Everyone recalled the past year at the dinner table. The achievements were numerous and worthy of celebration!

Year 01 is the Year of the Snake. The Dragon and the Snake rise from the land. In this year, many events that will have a great impact on future generations will happen.

Shanhe is silently looking forward to witnessing or joining them one by one.

The first Spring Festival of the new century has arrived, and red can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of the Magic City. At this time, the city still has a strong New Year flavor, unlike later generations where it looked like a shopping carnival.

The entire Shanhe family was also busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the house.

After the family had a prosperous New Year's Eve dinner, they sat in front of the TV and waited to watch the gala party. The mother, the teacher's wife, and the grandmother were rolling out dough to prepare dumplings for the evening meal.

Qiu Chuxi and Doudou were making trouble aside, pretending to help, playing with the dough balls, and stuffing them into Doudou's mouth from time to time.

Shan He couldn't remember what program was on this year's party, and the timeline in his mind was all jumbled up. He probably had to wait until the program came out before he could remember it!

As the Spring Festival Gala progresses, the impression of mountains and rivers gradually becomes clear.

Uncle Zhao's "Selling Kidnapping" was the biggest highlight of this year's party. Even though it was familiar to everyone, Shanhe was still amused like his family.

"In the Mood for Love" sung by Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung is also very beautiful, a good song in a good movie!

At this time, Coco Lee also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, hot and sexy, with the atmosphere of the new era!

Feng Gong, Jiang Kun, Pan Changjiang, Huang Hong and others were regular guests at the Spring Festival Gala at this time, and their cross talk sketches were indispensable.

What surprised Shanhe was that he actually saw Zhang Ziyi on TV. She had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 2001! However, this year she was indeed very successful. The heroine of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made her famous in domestic and foreign film circles. It is said that she also joined the filming of Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour 2".

The four major actresses have already emerged, and Xu Jinglei, who is a little behind, is already a first-line actress in China.

Next year he will be getting closer and closer to these characters in his memory, and Shanhe is very much looking forward to it!

During the Spring Festival, the popularity of Shanhe remained unabated. "Emergency Room Doctor" has been broadcast to the end, and the ratings have steadily increased. The truth of the story in the play has aroused public discussion.

Many media have reported on these stories that happened around ordinary people, and even found many similar real-life incidents. The problem of people having difficulty in seeking medical treatment has become a hot topic in society.

As the screenwriter of "Emergency Doctor", Shanhe has been recognized and praised by the audience. Everyone believes that a good script like this that truthfully reflects reality is the model for TV series.

Magic City TV also specially produced a documentary about "Emergency Doctor", in which the former No. 1 Hospital of Nanshi District occupies a large space.

Shanhe's experience in the hospital was reported, which attracted a lot of praise!

At the same time, on the other side of the Pacific, the first-month sales of "Parasite" exceeded two million copies. This novel, which reflects the solidification of classes, threw a grenade into the bottom of society in Country M.

People of color even held up "Parasite" to participate in demonstrations to protest against class division and racial discrimination in country M, demanding that the government improve people's livelihood and give the people at the bottom more opportunities!

Among the most active groups is the future President of Country M, Obama!

Disney Pictures and Scholar Publishing House are behind the continuous promotion. The cooperation between the two industry giants has kept public opinion as hot as possible. The hot sales of "Parasite" in country M are still not over.

Shanhe once again gained both fame and fortune in this trend. Hollywood has become a blessed place for Shanhe. Bruckheimer's expectations for Shanhe have reached the highest level!

The Lantern Festival has passed in the blink of an eye, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has almost dissipated, and the people have begun another year of work to make a living.

Neither Shanhe nor Hu Ge returned to school. Hu’s mother hired a tutor for Hu Ge. He needed to study hard to pass the cutoff for art candidates!

Shanhe was not worried about his grades. The admission scores of art candidates were extremely low. He was planning his trip to the northwest.

Before he could plan his route, Qu Ling's phone call interrupted his schedule.

"Xiaohe, your trip to the Hexi Corridor has to be postponed. Today I received two calls. The first one was from the headquarters of Amazon News in Country M. They want the online sales rights of all your novels. The second call was very Importantly, this is a call from the staff of the Beijing Olympic Bid Committee. They will send someone to the Magic City to meet with you soon!"

"What, the Beijing Olympics Bid Committee?" Shanhe was shocked by the news from Qu Ling.

"Yes, it's the Olympic bid committee you imagined. You are already an internationally renowned writer, so you should be able to contribute in this area. Xiaohe, if the Olympic bid can be successful, it will be a supreme honor!"
