Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

After returning from the "Incense" crew visit, Qu Ling began final negotiations and exchanges with Deng Xiaolong's team.

Shanhe started working on the adaptation of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Shanhe remembered the plot of the first film particularly clearly, and the character creation of Jack Sparrow was written smoothly with references in his memory.

The most difficult thing was writing in English for the first time, and Shanhe’s vocabulary was obviously lacking.

Once he encounters a dilemma that he cannot express, he has no choice but to write in Chinese on one side, and then look up the English dictionary after the plot is concluded.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but the mountains and rivers are slowly adapting.

Two days later, Qu Ling completed the contract with Deng Xiaolong. The TV series "Under the Zhengyang Men" has been officially launched, and both parties have deposited the first funds into the designated accounts.

The production process will begin in the next year, and the completed script adapted by Xing Aina has also been handed over to the other party for review. The final draft must be approved by both parties.

Shanhe and Qu Ling boarded the flight to Magic City.

The Spring Festival of 2002 is coming, the white horse has passed, and the year of the white horse is coming.

When Shanhe arrived home, he saw his grandfather and grandmother standing in the yard. He left their luggage and went to greet them.

This time, according to the wishes of the two old men, Qiu Jiang took them here by train. The two old men showed Shanhe all kinds of dry goods they brought from their hometown.

These are the things that the two children love to eat, which shows the thoughts of the two old people.

The end of the year is a joyous time for most people. Gathering relatives and having family reunions are the obsessions of Chinese people at the end of the year.

No matter how far or how difficult it is, Chinese people will rush home to celebrate the New Year whenever possible. The annual Spring Festival travel is the largest human migration event in the world.

The scene from the movie "On the Road to Misfortune" instantly appeared in Shanhe's mind.

It would be too thin to be adapted into a novel, but it would be quite suitable to be written as an outline of a screenplay.

It can be monetized once the right opportunity arises.

The days at the end of the year were full of joy and contentment. During the day, I accompanied my mother to buy new year's goods, and took my grandparents and sister to play around the city.

When I went home in the evening, I spent all my time watching "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Unfortunately".

February 5, 2002, the day after the beginning of spring, is the Little New Year in the south. Shanhe's hometown attaches great importance to this day.

Welcome the Kitchen God According to folklore, the Kitchen God is also called the Kitchen God, who is responsible for controlling the stove fires in each household.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will go to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor all the things that happened to the family under his protection and supervision during the year, and decide whether to bring disaster or blessing to the family in the coming year.

People hope that the Kitchen God can say more good things in front of the Jade Emperor. On the Little New Year's Day, sweet and sticky food will be placed in front of the statue of the Kitchen God to stick to the Kitchen God's mouth. He only speaks good things to heaven and brings good things to his family from the lower world. Come auspiciously.

The whole family is busy on this day. Rice candy is a must-have custom in my hometown. Grandpa and grandma heard that the family’s unique rice candy is not available in the city, so they have brought a big bag.

This kind of rice candy is made from glutinous rice. It is extremely sticky and sweet. It is also filled with sesame and peanuts. It was Shanhe's favorite snack when he was a child.

Another custom is to fry fried pancakes, which requires a special pancake frying spoon. The day before, you have to grind the rice into rice paste, add an appropriate amount of salt, and leave it overnight. The next day, pour the rice paste evenly into the frying spoon and put it in Fry in boiling oil, add your favorite fillings on top after setting, then wrap it in rice paste, fry again, and a stuffed pancake will be out of the pan.

The children in my hometown love this food very much, and Shanhe and Qiuchuxi are no exception.

Fried pancakes look simple, but the taste of them varies greatly from person to person. Although my mother is the master chef at home, my grandma’s pancakes are the most delicious.

Early that morning, grandma dug out the fried pancake tools she brought from her hometown, and repeatedly stirred the rice milk she had ground last night.

Qiu Chuxi followed her grandma with Doudou as soon as she got up. When ten o'clock came, the house was filled with the smell of fried dough cakes.

Shanhe couldn't resist the temptation and came to the kitchen. The fried pancakes that were just out of the frying pan were the most delicious!

As soon as Shanhe entered the kitchen, he saw Qiu Chuxi wrapping steaming pancakes in oil paper and breathing heavily while eating them.

"Brother, come on, grandma's fried pancakes are so delicious. We didn't even get to eat them last year!"

Grandma wrapped a piece of fried pancake just out of the pan with oil paper and handed it to Shanhe, "My dear grandson, grandma brought the guy style just to fry pancakes for my dear grandson, my dear girl. Eat it quickly. Last year, your dad had to fly. , I can’t bring anything with me!”

Shanhe looked at grandma's wrinkled smiling face, and his eyes suddenly felt a little astringent. He took the pancake in grandma's hand, and Shanhe lowered his head and chewed it regardless of burning his mouth. This taste was indeed something that no one else could give Shanhe!

The aroma of the pancakes brought the whole family into the kitchen. You and I were enjoying the taste of our hometown.

By the time grandma finished the rice milk, everyone was so full that they burped.

"Mom, your skill in frying pancakes has really not changed at all. I have been eating it since I was a kid, and nothing can compare to your fried pancakes!" Qiu Jiang pulled his mother and said.

"You can just say that I asked you to take the train to get something, and you are full of weird words. Now you know the benefits!" Qiu Dahai used to yell at his son.

Grandma patted her son's hand and said, "It's delicious, but don't eat too hard. This stuff is very irritating. Watch your good girl and don't let her eat too much!"

"I understand, Mom, just rest and let Meiyu take care of the rest."

Xie Meiyu also came up and said, "Mom, you are very motivated today. You fried a bucket of rice milk. I will do the rest."

"This little work is nothing!"

Mother and grandmother were cleaning up in the kitchen, while others were contentedly chatting in the living room.

Just as they were talking about the excitement of the New Year in their hometown, Xie Meiyu's voice came in.

"Doudou, Qiu Jiang, come and take a look, there seems to be something wrong with Doudou!"

Shanhe and his father ran out quickly and saw Doudou lying in the small courtyard, not as lively as in the morning at all, looking sickly.

"You were fine just now, why are you like this now?" Qiu Jiang also liked this lively dog, and now he was a little anxious.

Yu Zheng rushed out to the old couple and took a look, "Xixi, did you feed Doudou some fried cakes?"

Qiu Chuxi looked at Doudou in a panic, "Doudou loves to eat. He ate three of them and also ate the rice candies in my pocket."

Xie Meiyu understood now, "Qiu Chuxi, how can you feed Doudou to eat fried cakes? Didn't I tell you before that Doudou can't eat fried things?"

"It kept looking at me. I gave it a bite, but nothing happened. Why is it like this?" Tears fell from Qiu Chuxi's eyes as soon as she saw it.

"Okay, don't talk about your daughter. I'm going to find the doctor with Doudou in my arms. Xiaohe, let's go!"

Shanhe held Doudou while Qiu Jiang drove the car and hurried to the nearest pet store.

When I went to the store and told the boss about the situation, he gave me a treatment method.

The Labrador Doudou looked scary, but in fact it was not a big problem. The owner of the pet shop gave him a pack of gastrointestinal medicine and told him not to drink water, and then the two of them took him home.

The whole family looked at Doudou who was sick and felt a little sad.

"Qiu Chuxi, look at the good things you have done. You have made a good young year like crazy. I think you just need to take care of it!" Xie Meiyu looked at her daughter with red eyes and lectured her.

"Meiyu, the good girl has realized her mistake. There is nothing wrong with this dog. The dogs in the city are precious, but the ones back home are not so troublesome!" Qiu Dahai excused his granddaughter in disguise.

Shanhe knelt down and looked at Doudou, who was lying sickly on the blanket, and touched his big head. He whimpered slightly and wagged his tail with all his strength.

"Don't be afraid, it will be fine tomorrow!"

After raising a dog for a long time, it is no different from a family member. This dog is particularly spiritual and can distinguish between master and slave and internal and external.

Most dogs are very loyal to their owners.

It may be enthusiastic towards other people, but there is only one owner in the dog's consciousness.

Shanhe thought of the tear-jerking "The Story of Hachiko", which was adapted from the true story of Neon. A dog waited for its owner in one place for a lifetime. This kind of emotion and loyalty transcended many things in the world. !

Can I also write something on this topic?

While Shanhe was thinking, he stayed with Doudou until midnight. Shanhe took the sleeping Qiu Chuxi back to her room, and returned to the living room to look at Doudou, the labrador who had improved, "Doudou, I'll give it to you." Would you like to write a book?”

Doudou stood up all of a sudden, came to Shanhe's hand and licked Shanhe's palm, "Haha, you really understand! You must have lost your memory this time, I call you greedy!"

The next day, when Shanhe woke up, Qiu Chuxi was already running around in the yard with Doudou.

Shanhe stood on the balcony, looking at the two lively troublemakers, and shouted to Qiu Chuxi, "Has your memory improved this time?"

Qiu Chuxi gave her brother a grimace, "I will never feed Doudou randomly again!"

After saying that, he took Doudou, who was barking at Shanhe, out.

Shanhe stretched and thought of yesterday's thoughts.

"A Dog's Purpose" is described from the perspective of a dog. A dog has experienced several reincarnations and is constantly searching for its owner and the meaning of life with its memories of past lives.

This movie is so suitable for Shanhe. For a reborn person to write about a reborn dog, it can be considered a life experience!

However, Shanhe only remembers the outline, and since it is a Hollywood movie, turning it into a Chinese novel requires careful planning.

From this day on, Shanhe had one more job to do, and it wasn't until the last day of the first year of the lunar calendar that he came out of his thoughts.

The family had become accustomed to his state. Yu Zhengchong looked at his disciple and asked, "Xiaohe, what is the subject of the new book?"

"Ah!" Shanhe looked at several family members who were waiting for his answer, "As you all know, I haven't fully conceived the plot yet. This time I am writing a story about a dog. Doudou gave me the inspiration."

"What can you write about a sick dog?" Xie Meiyu asked casually.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Once you say it, there will be no sense of expectation." Shan He gave up.

"Your Aunt Qu will have to call you later to ask you. I told her yesterday when I talked to her on the phone." Xie Meiyu continued.

Qiu Jiang stepped forward and patted his son on the shoulder, "Although I am also curious, I won't ask. I will also think about what I would write if it were me!"

"Tch, it's you. I guess I have to start with Doudou's parents to get enough words!" Xie Meiyu said from the side.

Qiu Jiang was irritated by what his wife said, "Xie Meiyu, why are you so venomous now, and you are not allowed to have literary hobbies? I am also a Chinese teacher, and my son can achieve what he is now, and I have a share in the inheritance!"

"That's true. If you hadn't often gone to the post office to collect rejected manuscripts, we wouldn't have known each other. Teacher, what did you say when we got married?" Xie Meiyu teased her husband about the stew.

Yu Zhengchong looked at Qiu Jiang and laughed.

Qiu Jiang was anxious, "Teacher, look at Xie Meiyu, the child is still here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yu Zhengchong said with a smile: "You two are so old, and you still like to flirt in front of others as before, so I am too lazy to get involved. Xiaohe, let's go and talk to the master!"

On New Year's Eve, after the New Year's Eve dinner, the family was still sitting around the TV. The three of them, mother, grandmother, and grandmother, were making dumplings. Qiu Chuxi and Doudou were making trouble, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start.
