Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Bruckheimer left a few scripts and left the hotel.

Shanhe held a few scripts in his hands, and the majestic soundtrack of "Pirates of the Caribbean" kept echoing in his mind.

In Shanhe's memory, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of the most famous movie series in Hollywood, and the only ones that can rival it seem to be the "Harry Potter" series and the "Lord of the Rings" series.

The coquettish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow continues to reap box office hits in the global film market.

Before the rebirth of Shanhe, there was news that "Pirates of the Caribbean VI" would start filming.

Is this world-famous story contained in these scripts that Bruckheimer left for me?

"Annie, I have to read these scripts today. Aunt Qu will be here soon. You tell her what happened."

After Shanhe confessed to Hathaway, he entered the room with the script.

He first flipped through the names of several scripts, but there were no words related to Pirates of the Caribbean.

Shanhe could only start with the content. After more than two hours, a script called "Pirates and Blacksmiths" was selected by Shanhe.

This should be the original version of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Why did it have such a dirty name? No wonder it was left in the script library and no one cared about it.

"The Pirates and the Blacksmith" already has most of the story outlines of Pirates of the Caribbean, but the protagonist of this script is the blacksmith. Although Captain Jack Sparrow also occupies a relatively large space, he is far from the Sparrow in Shanhe's memory.

Shanhe looked at the script on the table and tapped his fingers on the script unconsciously. How should I put "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the big screen? What can I gain from it?

Shanhe's thinking continued until there was a knock on the door. He stood up, rubbed his temples, and walked towards the door with the script in hand.

Opening the door, Qu Ling and Hathaway were looking at him outside.

Qu Ling asked: "Why did you stay in the room for so long and even forget about lunch? What script did Jerry give you? Are you so serious?"

"When I came to Hollywood last time, I asked him a few questions casually, but now he took it seriously. But I personally like the theme of pirates. Let's take a look first!" Shanhe replied.

"Let's eat first. Annie told me that no one dares to touch the pirate-themed Hollywood movie company. They are all afraid of losing money. Jerry won't take this risk." Qu Ling said as he walked.

Shanhe pulled Hathaway to the dining table and replied: "He should have had an idea for a long time. He will treat him tomorrow and I will talk to him. I am more optimistic about this idea."

"I think Jerry was obsessed with your luck. "Parasite" knocked him unconscious. This time, we have the right time, right place, and everyone on our side. How can we be so lucky every time?" Qu. Ling handed Shanhe a plate and said casually.

Shanhe smiled, took the tableware handed over by Qu Ling, and responded: "Who knows, maybe I am really his lucky star. God, he likes me so much!"

hehe…

Shanhe's words successfully made the two of them laugh.

After the three of them finished lunch, Hathaway went back to the bedroom to take a nap. Shanhe and Qu Ling sat in the living room and chatted about the situation in the country.

"Xiaohe, I got a call from the company. The domestic media have begun to report on your trip to Country M. The news you made this time is quite big."

"There is always a mentality in China that foreign monks like to chant sutras, as if they can only prove their talents by traveling abroad. This is a sign of lack of self-confidence. I don't care much about the flattery of country M. Anne also said this morning , when you are valuable, everyone will surround you. If you get past this limelight, you will soon be knocked down." Shanhe responded with a smile.

"That's the truth, but don't belittle yourself too much. You have works. I can't count the number of invitations I've received these days. Disney has increased our share of the North American box office for "Parasite" "It's easier to make money in Hollywood than in China!" Qu Ling said to Shanhe in a financial amusement.

"Haha..." Shanhe was amused by Qu Ling's expression, "Aunt Qu, after you became the CEO of the company, you became more money-obsessed than before."

Qu Ling glanced at Shanhe and said, "Your mother and you handed over the company to me. I have to think about the company. You don't know if you are not a master. It is not easy to carry the livelihood of dozens or hundreds of people!"

Shan He touched his head and changed the topic, "By the way, how are the sales of "Under the Zhengyang Sect"? How are you doing with my mother's film and television company?"

"The sales volume of "Under the Zhengyang Gate" is okay, but it can't be compared with your previous books. Most of this kind of subject relies on long-term sales. You are already a special case. We have already registered a film and television company, but it is still It’s an empty shell, the copyright of your novel is going to be transferred, consider investing first, and you need to find someone knowledgeable to manage it!” Qu Ling replied.

"Has filming started for Ning Hao's "Incense"?" Shan He continued to ask casually.

"The filming started at the end of last month. He is very efficient. They are both practical people. Xiao Xing has already started working on the adaptation of "Under the Zhengyang Family". These two are indeed talented people and are not as ambitious as others."

"Hey, I missed a good opportunity again. I still want to learn from Ning Hao!" Shanhe said with a sigh.

"There are plenty of opportunities, don't worry!"

As Qu Ling said, when the news that Shanhe became the cover character of the M Chinese edition of Time Magazine spread to China, it caused an uproar in the media.

In addition, "Parasite" was a box office hit in Country M, and Shanhe won two of the three most authoritative literary awards in Country M.

Shanhe has indeed caused quite a stir in China.

The "National Youth Daily" report originally quoted the title of Time Magazine, the connector of Eastern and Western cultures, the inheritor of Chinese civilization.

The China Youth Daily reported on Shanhe's honors and achievements in Country M. The article also introduced the Book Critics Association Award. Shanhe's winning of the Best Novel Award was called a breakthrough for Asians, and they praised Shanhe as the spread of Chinese civilization. ambassador.

"Dazhong Daily" published the full text of Shanhe's speech at the Book Critics Association Award Ceremony. Although there was no comment, he had made his attitude clear.

CCTV's "News Report" also spent nearly a minute reporting on Shanhe's trip to Country M.

He gave a very high evaluation to Shanhe's reputation overseas.

Local daily newspapers and magazines also followed up with reports. Every little thing about Shanhe in Country M could not escape the eyes of the media. Photos of Hathaway and Shanhe at the premiere were posted everywhere.

Even the crooked media reported Shanhe's trip to Country M, but most of the content was praising Country M's equality and freedom. Shanhe seemed to be just a beggar being given alms, and his attitude of begging for mercy was disgusting!

Celebrities in domestic cultural circles are also paying attention to these news.

On the set of "Hero", Zhang Yimou had just finished a day's shooting and was thinking about tomorrow's shooting plan.

Zhang Weiping came in with a stack of newspapers, "Yi, look, your direct junior brother is showing off his power in Hollywood again, winning awards at the box office, and even being on the cover of Time Magazine, so awesome!"

"Let's take a look!" Zhang Yimou took the newspaper from Zhang Weiping's hand, ""Parasite" was originally written well, and it was set in Country M. The box office was surprisingly good."

Zhang Weiping rolled his eyes and approached Zhang Yimou, "Yimou, when Shanhe returns to China, let's find a time to get together with him. The overseas distribution of "Hero" was probably paid for with his help, and we don't let him do it in vain. To contribute, you have to have a bottom line on how much you should give.”

Zhang Yimou raised his head and glanced at Zhang Weiping, "Weiping, you always look at people too narrowly. Shanhe is not the kind of person who insists on money. A writer can tell the clues from his books." .”

"That's true, you seem to care about each other!" Zhang Weiping said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. There are still people who don't want money. Even fools know that money is a good thing!

After Zhang Yimou browsed several newspapers, he sighed and said: "This junior brother of mine is indeed a capable person. I know the virtues of foreigners. To be able to prosper in Hollywood must have conquered their prejudices. Wei Ping, don’t worry, he will help!”

Coincidentally, in the Fuguan Museum in Ma Weidu, several people were also discussing various things about mountains and rivers.

"Old Ma, I haven't seen you for a while. You've been very popular recently!" Feng Xiaogang teased Ma Weidu as soon as he sat down.

"Hey! What do I call prosperous? Look, this is called awesome. It's in Hollywood." Ma Weidu pointed to the newspaper in his hand and responded, "Old Wang, what did you say a while ago? I want to go for a walk in Country M to open my brothers’ eyes. Come on, just follow this standard!”

Ha ha…

Ma Weidu's words made several people laugh.

"This kid is really extraordinary this time. I've heard about this Book Critics Association Award. No non-M writer has won it for several years. I have to accept it when he hugs me back this time!" Liu Zhenyun also sighed. .

Deng Xiaolong looked at Ma Weidu thoughtfully and said: "Old Ma, what are Shanhe's ideas for "Under the Zhengyang Gate"? Who can film this subject if we from the capital are not allowed to film it? I can ask CCTV to cooperate. You Pass this on to my buddy.”

Ma Weidu poured some tea for everyone, "Old Deng, it's okay if I help you convey your meaning. Don't show off to others then. Shanhe people are really good. Besides, they can't rely on us. How can we cooperate?" Talk, if you can’t reach an agreement, don’t do anything bad, you may not be able to defeat him yet!”

"No!" Feng Xiaogang interjected from the side, "I heard that Shanhe's family and his agent just opened a film and television company. Boss Deng, you can discuss cooperation normally, and I can also help."

Wang Shuo took a sip of tea and looked at several people with disdain, "Look at your virtues. Isn't it interesting to praise others' bad feet one by one?"

"Hey, Lao Wang, I remember that you were much more difficult to maintain than others at the time. I asked you for a script, and I had to beg you in a humble way, but you didn't even take me seriously!"

Shanhe on the other side of the Pacific was holding the script and standing in the lobby of the hotel, waiting for Bruckheimer's arrival.

"Qiu, why are you alone, and where are Qu and Annie?"

"They are going shopping. They will go directly there later. Just take me with you."

"That's it, let's go then!"

After the two arrived at the restaurant, Shanhe handed the script in his pocket to Bruckheimer, "Jerry, have you read this script?"

Bruckheimer took the script and looked at the cover. "This name is too random. I read a few pages and I don't feel very good about it. Qiu, do you like it? I prefer the other book "Ghost Treasure"."

"Jerry, what's going on with this script? Can I adapt it at will based on it?" Shanhe asked directly.

Bruckheimer glanced at Shan He, "Of course, this script is bought out and Disney has the right to handle it. Qiu, do you have any specific ideas?"

Shanhe nodded and replied: "In my imagination, this script is just the beginning of a series. I will increase the role of the pirate captain and give him a unique charm, a dual protagonist setting, and a dual-line narrative."

After Bruckheimer heard this, he was surprised and said to Shanhe: "Fuck, Qiu, I just believed in your vision and wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect your ambition to be so big. The investment in the series of movies is too big, or... It’s a pirate theme, so it’s not a good bet to make!”

Shanhe responded calmly: "Come on, Jerry, you dare to say that you don't have the idea of ​​​​shooting a pirate theme. I think you are just using me as an excuse. You have already had the idea!"

Bruckheimer stared at Shanhe with wide eyes, "Qiu, am I so easy to see through? It shouldn't be. I have never told anyone, fuck, you are too keen. Okay, I admit that I have always wanted to Doing a pirate-themed fantasy film, but I just wasn’t sure.”

"Hey, look, I know you won't bet everything on my luck, Jerry. I'll change "The Blacksmith and the Pirate" first, and don't think about future investments and productions. This name is indeed too good. If you’re frustrated, let’s change it to Pirates of the Caribbean!” Shanhe responded.

"This is a good name. It's much more pleasant to the ears. Qiu, I have a hunch that we will do something big. No wonder so many people like gambling. The feeling of gambling is really fascinating!" Bruckheimer was a little fascinated.

Shanhe looked at Bruckheimer and laughed, "Jerry, you must have bet more than once. I heard that the box office and reputation of "Pearl Harbor" were not very good."

"I'm not the only producer of 'Pearl Harbor'. It's mainly produced by Touchstone Pictures. I don't have much responsibility. Besides, with the global release and video revenue, it's not a big problem to recover the cost." Bruckheimer said calmly. replied.

After a while, Qu Ling and Anne Hathaway arrived, and the four of them started dinner.

“Cheers to Parasite’s box office success and may he continue to succeed at the Golden Globes and Oscars, cheers!”

"Cheers!"

"By the way, Qiu, will you attend the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony? I have to arrange the personnel." Bruckheimer asked.

Shanhe shook his head, "I won't go. I'm not the main creator, and there is no award that belongs to me, so I won't overshadow the show!"

"Okay, what about you, Anne? You can join the crew." Bruckheimer asked Hathaway.

"If Qiu doesn't go, I won't go either. I don't want to be called a blanket star!"
