Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The arrival of mother and Qin Haiyang added a little more color to Shanhe's life.

In addition to preparing new books in his spare time, Shanhe accompanied his mother to organize the layout of the courtyard, and met with Qin Haiyang from time to time to chat about the preparations for the branch.

The courtyard is getting a breath of life day by day. Furniture and daily necessities have been added to each room. Flowers and trees have been planted in the flowerbed in the middle courtyard. The grape trellis that Ma Weidu mentioned has been ordered. Xie Meiyu has also ordered it. Waiting for the workers to come and install it.

Under the mother's care, the yard already felt like home. The mother and son stood at the door of the main house and looked at the suddenly new old house, smiling at each other.

After half a month of hard work, this place was ready for occupancy. Shanhe followed his mother's decision and moved his home in Beijing from Zizhuyuan over the weekend.

On the moving day of the weekend, Ma Weidu and Qin Haiyang came, and Yang Liu and his driver Wu Liang also drove downstairs in a pickup truck they got from nowhere.

It was said that it was a move, but in fact there was not much to move. The furniture and appliances were not moved. The scattered daily necessities were moved to the courtyard in the back of a pickup truck.

That night, the courtyard had a party for the first time. My mother cooked a table full of Hakka dishes, and the six of us had a simple housewarming dinner at home.

In just two days, Shanhe fell in love with this old house. The environment was quiet and comfortable. He could walk in the yard in the early morning, or go out and stroll in the alleys to experience the unique flavor of the old neighborhoods in the capital.

A variety of breakfast shops are lined up at the entrance of the alley. After enjoying breakfast in a lively but not noisy atmosphere, you can slowly walk back to the yard.

After making a cup of tea and accompanying my mother to take care of the flowers and trees in the garden, I started writing the outline of my new book in a relaxed mood.

You can also enjoy the taste of home at noon, and chat with your mother about trivial matters at home.

After the lunch break, I continued writing the new book, and then went to the nearby market with my mother’s urging.

The mother and son made dinner together, accompanied by the sound of the TV, as the sky darkened and entered the night.

In the quiet night, I turn my thoughts into paragraphs of words, and finally fall asleep with inner fulfillment.

During the two days of the weekend, Shanhe lived leisurely and contentedly in his new home, which was so comfortable.

The time has come to April 2002. My mother returned to the Magic City after staying in the capital for about twenty days. Qin Haiyang was also too busy to be seen. The outline of Shanhe's new book has also been written to the end.

Shanhe carefully reviewed the outline of "A Dog's Purpose" from beginning to end, and let out a long sigh. The preparation work for this book was relatively complicated. Shanhe not only read a lot of information, but also interviewed and recorded more than a dozen people. Relevant personal experiences.

Having completed the creation of the outline, Shanhe felt a lot more relaxed.

"A Dog's Purpose" written by Shanhe is two completely different stories from the original movie. He just borrowed ideas from it. After the outline was completed, there were no shortcuts. Shanhe had to rely on his own for the remaining content. Thoughts and preparation fill the flesh and blood of the novel.

Shanhe closed his notebook, stood up and stretched, walked out of the dormitory and did some stretching exercises in the corridor.

"Shan He, don't write anymore? Just in time, we have written two episodes of the documentary copy. Take a look and we will change it if there is anything wrong." Chen Jingming saw the stretched Shan He and came over and said.

Shanhe turned to look at Chen Jingming, "Have you shown it to Mr. Ma? Has he made any suggestions?"

Chen Jingming nodded, "We used the treasure of the Fuguan Museum as the national treasure for the first season. Mr. Ma must have given us some advice. He contributed a lot to the writing of the copy. In terms of his understanding of antiques, We can’t compete with him!”

Shanhe and Chen Jingming walked into the dormitory. Chen Jingming took out a stack of manuscript paper from his bunk and handed it to Shanhe, "We haven't input it into the computer yet. Everyone has already read it and revised it several times. You are the only one who has not read it!"

Shanhe took the manuscript paper, raised his head and asked: "How many episodes have you written? Why do you feel so many? Why don't you tell me first?"

"Okay! Then let me tell you." Chen Jingming jumped off the bunk bed and sat on the opposite side of the mountain and river. "The antiques we chose are Song Cizhou Kiln Plum Vase and Huanghuali Baibao Inlaid Dragon Bed. Song Cizhou Kiln Plum Vase This is the only one of its kind in the world, and it can be called a rare treasure. The huanghuali treasure-inlaid dragon bed is the emperor's throne, and it is also very attractive!"

Chen Jingming stopped and thought for a while, then continued: "The Cizhou kiln plum vase of Song Dynasty is the first national treasure in the whole article. Our copy starts from the development history of porcelain in our country, starting from the pottery of the Neolithic Age to Cizhou of Song Dynasty. The birth of the kiln plum vase has a one- or two-minute video clip, combined with the copywriting, to show the development and achievements of porcelain in our country to the audience, and then start the introduction of the treasure."

Shanhe looked at Chen Jingming who stopped and said loudly: "The antiques chosen are very good and the planning is also good. Keep talking!"

"Isn't this all planned based on your instructions! As for the introduction of the treasures, we have different opinions. What I mean is to restore part of the process of making porcelain, with an introduction, so that the audience will have a better understanding of the antiques. It’s more intuitive and more engaging for the audience.”

Shanhe nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Go on, isn't there a huanghuali treasure-inlaid dragon bed?"

Chen Jingming pondered for a while, "The design of the Huanghuali Hundred Treasures Inlaid Dragon Bed is similar to that of a plum vase. It starts with a quick edit of history, making silhouettes of several famous emperors in my country, and finally fixates on Emperor Qianlong, and then begins To introduce the treasure, we plan to record it from the perspective of material, carving and its historical significance. This collection will be very attractive!"

Chen Jingming paused for a while, "As for the copywriting, we wrote the first draft based on the planner and Mr. Ma's introduction. Mr. Ma revised it again, but you still have to make the decision. You are the boss in this regard!"

Shanhe laughed after hearing this, "Come on, writing this is different from writing a novel. We still have to listen to the advice of professionals. The planning is very good. I will read it and discuss it with Mr. Ma. Let's shoot these two first. It’s a treasure, you can continue to plan and write the rest. I am very optimistic about this series. Maybe our dormitory can make ends meet by relying on this documentary!”

Chen Jingming responded with a smile: "The food and clothing that the boss talks about are different from what we understand, right? We must continue filming this film and don't think about other things. We have received a lot of exercise!"

"Don't dare to brag too much with you now. We can discuss it later when everyone comes back in the evening!"

The next day, Shanhe spent a noon reading through the copywriting written by his roommates. Overall, it was very good, but it lacked a bit of sensational cultural mystery.

Shanhe thought for a while and began to make changes in the manuscript.

"You have a text message from National Treasure, please check it!"

"Tao has been intoxicated for six thousand years, and porcelain has been polished for three thousand years. Ceramics comes from the soil and is refined into life. It needs to be smashed, kneaded, burned, and traced. Making porcelain is like shaping a human being. After so many years, After being tempered, soil becomes a tool..."

"The emperor is above, the emperor is below, the emperor, the master of living things, and the sect of prosperity. The earliest name for the emperor in China comes from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he thought that he had the virtues of the three emperors and the achievements of the five emperors, so Hua The country has the lofty title of emperor..."

"Carpentry is both a craft and an art. The ancestor of Chinese carpenters is Lu Ban. For thousands of years, there have been as many people obsessed with this craft as stars, including common people, powerful people, and even emperors..."

Shanhe began to continuously add information to the copy, and the documentary clips in his mind gradually took shape. The content of five to ten minutes is not much, but the amount of information in it is quite a lot!

When Chen Jingming saw Shanhe revising the manuscript, he quietly walked behind Shanhe and watched. After a while, one or two whole dormitories gathered behind Shanhe and watched Shanhe's writing.

Chen Jingming silently recited Shanhe's words with an expression of admiration. As students of the literature department, screenwriting and writing are compulsory courses for them and will be their special skills in the future.

He has always been very confident in his skills. Even when he handed the manuscript to Shanhe, he didn't think Shanhe could change it too much. He thought he had already modified it to the limit!

But Shanhe's words made him see the gap, comparing making porcelain to shaping people, a genius idea!

The other roommates also looked at it with their eyes wide open. Bai Yuxia, who studied photography, had already started to think about the camera location based on Shanhe's copywriting.

After a long time, Shanhe put down his pen, picked up the manuscript and looked back at his words. The roommates behind him started shouting.

"Shanhe is worthy of being a big boss. If you add these, it will instantly make people feel that the style is much higher and it has a unique cultural flavor."

"Indeed, when I think about the pictures behind these words, I am inspired. It is definitely more attractive than the stereotyped documentaries nowadays!"

"Shanhe, can we start preparing to write the shooting plan? My hands are itching to see it!"

…

Shanhe turned to look at his roommate, "You guys are all here all the time. I still have to revise this. In addition, we have to let professionals judge. I don't have class in the afternoon. I will go to see Mr. Ma soon to plan the shooting of the silkworm chrysalis and the old man." If you two from the directing department put more effort into it, I will join you."

"No problem, I've been waiting for you!"

"Is this about to start? I'm a little excited!"

"There's still more than a month left, and we won't have time until the summer vacation."

…

The dormitory was filled with the voices of rookies talking loudly. They were very excited to be able to film independently in their freshman year!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shanhe found Ma Weidu under the CCTV building.

"Master Ma, it's really not easy to find you. Have you finished recording "Lectures of Hundreds of Schools"? If so, let's find a place to chat!"

Ma Weidu looked at Shanhe and replied: "The recording is over. Why are you so anxious to find me? Have you finalized the copywriting of the documentary?"

"I didn't change it a little to let you pass by. You are a professional, and you have to review it in the end." Shanhe replied.

"Okay, how about we go to your place and your house will be clean?" Ma Weidu suggested with a smile.

"Let's go then, let's take a taxi there."

The two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard of Shanhe's home. Ma Weidu said nothing, picked up the manuscript and started reading.

After more than half an hour, Ma Weidu patted the stone table and said, "Hey, what you wrote is really interesting. It's very sensational, but it has a bit of flavor and a high cultural level. Most people are willing to read it. Literary men will not tolerate such pretense of showing off!"

"Aren't we just shooting for the public to see? It has to attract attention. Can you tell me if there is any conflict with the experience of antiques?" Shanhe responded.

Ma Weidu took the manuscript and read it and thought for a while, "It's all very suitable. There's nothing wrong with it, but there are only two episodes, and it won't be enough to film them!"

"Let's make a prototype first. We still have time. It will be much easier for my classmate to follow the instructions. You have to help us decide on the antiques. What we want are all national treasures!"

"Okay! Have you figured out where to broadcast it? I can help contact CCTV and Beijing TV Station." Ma Weidu asked.

"We'll wait until it's filmed. If the documentary can't be sold at a high price, we'll have to find several TV stations!"

After the planning copy for the first two episodes of "If National Treasure Could Talk" was finalized, the rookie team in Dormitory 201 began to follow the ideas and continue to write the copy for the remaining episodes of the first season.

The documentary project has reached the substantive stage, and the general style and content have taken shape.
