Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The crew of 201 became more and more dedicated and serious under Shanhe's aggressive tactics.

Each of them has seen the fruits of their labor, and the estimated results are very optimistic. They are very motivated in their daily shooting work, and their interest in learning and accumulation has also increased a lot.

The progress of "If National Treasure Could Talk" continues to advance, and "A Dog's Purpose" is still dominating the book market.

In the second week, this story about dogs once again broke through the ceiling, with weekly sales of 750,000 copies, leaving other publishers speechless.

This kind of achievement is rare in the European and American book markets. If there had been no piracy, how far would Shanhe's new book sales have reached?

Qu Ling is in an extremely good mood these days. Shanhe makes much more money in Hollywood than publishing books, but Qu Ling values ​​books much more than Hollywood's share of the profits.

Maybe it’s because I am an editor by background! The influence of books is also more lasting. We can’t let Shanhe give up on books. It doesn’t matter if we go slower!

The sales of "A Dog's Purpose" exploded, making the public pay more attention to the topic of dog breeding.

The investigation operation of a certain administrative department in Beijing has attracted more and more attention and stirred up more and more disturbances.

Although the Administration has repeatedly reiterated that this action has no connection with Shanhe's new book, the action has still caused more and more criticism.

Upon hearing the news, the administration immediately stopped the investigation, and the policy of issuing dog tags was also suspended. Putting an end to speculating on dog tags became their top priority.

As soon as the news of the management rectification came out, the public paid more attention to and gossiped about "A Dog's Purpose".

A book changes the management regulations of a city. This kind of thing is too rare in China!

The legendary aura of "A Dog's Purpose" has become much brighter.

On the other hand, the pet market is becoming more and more popular, and the sales of pet dogs have surged by 50% to 60% compared with usual.

A pet shop owner in Beijing had a sudden idea and turned the cover of "A Dog's Purpose" into a large poster and used it as a background wall. The same poster was also posted at the entrance of the store.

In less than two days, the pet store's transaction volume doubled. When other competitors saw this, they also copied the posters.

Within a week, posters of "A Dog's Purpose" of various sizes could be seen everywhere in the pet trading market in Beijing. Many book fans couldn't help but laugh when they came here. Is this a pet market or a book market?

The strange phenomenon in the pet market in Beijing was posted on the forum as a joke by netizens. Pet dealers from all over the world don't think so. Why didn't I think of such a genius idea?

For a time, such strange things happened one after another in pet markets across the country.

Shanhe New Books turned the pet market into a topic in the book market and became a hot joke on the Internet!

Pet shop owners from all over the world even unanimously called Shanhe the pet ambassador on the Internet!

When Yu Zhengchong told Shanhe this joke, Shanhe was having lunch, which directly caused Shanhe to spit on his rice, and it took him two glasses of water to recover!

Do you pay for advertising like this? Shan He was dumbfounded!

No matter how much response "A Dog's Purpose" caused, Shanhe still devoted himself to the filming of "If National Treasure Could Talk" as always.

At the end of July, when "A Dog's Purpose" had been on the shelves for a full month, "If National Treasures Could Talk" completed the close-up shooting of the cultural relics.

After getting used to and running in in the first two weeks, the 201 crew grew rapidly, and the progress in the next ten days accelerated a lot.

According to the adjusted shooting plan, they will take 20 to 25 days to complete the interviews with experts and the silhouette shooting of the short film.

Shanhe decided to temporarily divide the team into two groups. The expert interviews were not difficult. The main thing was the arrangement of the interview time. The content was already prepared. Chen Zhiyong led the camera crew to complete the filming.

Shanhe, Chen Jingming and Lao Ning began to prepare the scenery for shooting the silhouettes and historical fragments in the short film.

The three people had a clear division of labor. Lao Ning, a native of the capital, was responsible for the costumes and props, Shanhe was responsible for setting up the scenery, and Chen Jingming was the easiest to handle a few extras. If that didn't work, they could do it themselves.

At the same time, the first-month sales data of "A Dog's Purpose" has just arrived in Qu Ling's hands.

Qu Ling was stunned by the first-month sales of 2.3 million copies. He couldn't help but think, how much would this figure be if there were no piracy?

"A Dog's Purpose" will definitely sell more than five million copies throughout the year.

Qu Ling is very proud of this result. The domestic royalties of this book alone will exceed 10 million, and she has been unable to accept it from foreign publishers recently.

Several old partners have already reached an agreement, and Neon and Bangguo's royalties have been raised to 10%.

Scholar Publishing House is not very optimistic about the European and American sales of this book, but it is still preparing to win the European and American distribution rights.

After Shanhe had a phone call with Qu Ling, he left all these matters to Qu Ling and his company, and they started shooting real people.

In the ten short episodes of "If National Treasure Could Talk" in the first season, there are fifteen clips, including different scenes of porcelain making, sculpture, painting, emperors, etc.

Shanhe and the others had limited conditions, so they set up the scenery on the spot in the courtyard of the Fuguan Museum. The effect was naturally not as exquisite as that of movies and TV series, but these were just fleeting silhouettes, and finding a master of editing could make up for the shortcomings.

Chen Jingming unexpectedly found several senior students from the acting department in Beijing, including Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei.

Not only is it free, but the acting skills are also decent. Of course, this kind of scene does not require any acting skills. Just stay out of the camera and peek into the camera to basically pass the test.

Zhang Songwen played the emperor who had the most scenes.

Except for the time it took to set up the scenery and put on makeup, the shooting of these scenes went extremely smoothly with almost no difficulty. After all, the requirements for lighting and recording were very low, and there was no plot.

It only took Shanhe less than a week to complete it.

Although the picture is rough, it is enough.

Now we are just waiting for Chen Zhiyong’s interview and filming to be completed. The entire filming process is estimated to have taken one and a half months.

Three days later, Chen Zhiyong finished shooting the interview materials, and several people spent a whole night re-checking all the filming materials.

"Our shooting plan has been completed, and the rest is post-production. Some shots may need to be reshot, but we have indeed completed it for the first time!" Shanhe announced loudly to several people.

"Why can't I believe it?"

"These are really what we did. Come on, I even admire myself!"

"Why are you still in a daze? We've finished filming. It's our first time! Think about how to celebrate!"

"I have to eat a meal. I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well for more than a month, so I have to make up for it!"

…

At noon the next day, several people realized what happened after they woke up from their dreams. Everyone gathered in the middle courtyard, cheered loudly and fought with each other, alarming Shanhe's family.

Shanhe hugged Doudou who rushed towards him and shouted loudly to his family: "Our first movie is finished! Mom, dad, teachers, grandma, and my dear sister, let's go out to the restaurant for the filming banquet tonight!"

That night, Dormitory 201 invited all the people involved in the documentary shooting to the Sichuan restaurant next to the courtyard, and three tables were filled.

"Thank you for everyone's help and support. Our documentary is finished. Without further ado, let's start eating!"

At the end of the meal, only six people from dormitory 201 were left. Several of them were dizzy after drinking, and they walked out of the hotel with each other's support.

Six people sang loudly and laughed wantonly in the alley. The whole alley was filled with the smell of alcohol and youth!

It was already mid-August. The next morning, after a few roommates joked with each other, they went their separate ways. The three people who lived out of town also embarked on their own journey home.

Shanhe hid in Chuhe Film and Television Company with the shooting materials and began the tedious post-production.

Chuhe Film and Television has just purchased a complete set of post-production equipment and recruited professional personnel. "If National Treasure Could Talk" is the company's first post-production project.

Shanhe participated in the entire post-production process and was particularly concerned about editing. He had images of the entire documentary in his mind to compare with.

He has to ensure that the editor understands his ideas and that the film is not edited to look specious.

It was not until the end of August that Shanhe pulled himself out of the camera material because of the arrival of several young people.

When Shanhe received a call from home and rushed to the courtyard, he saw Li Xiaohui, Yuan Datou, Fatty Chen and Miss Zhou sitting under the grape trellis.

"I'm going, you four didn't call me before you came! I know you all got admitted to schools in the capital, and Feng is the only one who needs to be picked up!" Shanhe shouted as he jogged.

"Great Immortal, are you surprised, we are here to find you again!" Li Xiaohui still looked mean-mouthed.

Chen Zhongming still had a chubby look on his face and said with a smile: "Great Immortal, I came to you to be an actor. You said I have talent!"

"Daxian, don't listen to his nonsense. It's just because he did well in the exam. He's a top student at Renmin University. Being an actor is nothing. What did you say when I asked you to take the art exam?" Yuan Datou scolded the fat man at the side.

Shanhe looked at the three of them and laughed, "Datou, have you come to the art exam? Why didn't I know!"

"I don't dare to come alone. The fat man said that we look too unique, so we probably won't pass the exam!"

"Haha..." Shanhe was very happy with the arrival of the younger boys, "Miss Zhou, how come you haven't changed into a lady in a year, and you haven't said a word!"

"I was originally a lady, okay? Stop calling me Miss Zhou. Ask a few of them. No one calls me that now. They all call me Xiao Ou!" Miss Zhou has really grown into a big girl. But he still has that strong smell.

Li Xiaohui whispered from the side: "It was our biggest mistake to let her become the squad leader. Apart from Datou, who is very happy, the three of us have been under her control for three years. Can we not call her Xiao Ou!"

Shanhe was amused again.

Although the two childhood friends have not been together for several years, the atmosphere has not changed much.

"It's a pity that Feng Jingliang didn't come. He was just a few points behind. He is now going to Jimei University."

"No matter what others say, I was really surprised that you, Li Xiaohui, came to the capital!" Shanhe said to his former deskmate with a smile.

Before Xiao Hui could speak, Miss Zhou spoke up, "They all have to thank me. Without me watching over them, they wouldn't be able to come to the capital!"

"Classmate Xiao Ou, what you said is too exaggerated. You said that Yuan Datou is fine. He did listen to you. I can barely pass it. Fatty's test scores are not worse than yours. Renmin University is better than Peking University Second Foreign Languages ​​School!" "Li Xiaohui is still soft-spoken and hard-spoken.

Zhou Xiaoou glanced sideways at Li Xiaohui.

Yuan Datou quickly said: "Great Immortal, you have to treat us to a big dinner tonight. Just now we were talking about what you would treat us to!"

Shanhe put his arm around Yuan Datou's shoulders and said loudly: "You can do whatever you want. We have to eat, drink and chat well tonight!"
