Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The news that Shanhe was contemplating a new book soon reached Qu Ling's ears.

The spy war theme is a very good genre. When Qu Ling was young, he was also a fan of "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp"!

Qu Ling hung up Yang Liu's phone and opened her computer mailbox with joy. The overall planning plan for "A Bite of China" had already appeared in front of her eyes.

She relaxed and started reading, and the last two episodes were still amazing.

"Chinese food is known to have 'taste' as its soul. Different raw materials, different condiments, different preparation techniques, and different seasoning masters lead the food to a more delicious realm. Salty, sweet, sour, sweet, Hot and sour, spicy, spicy, bitter, fresh..."

Qu Ling quickly became immersed in the text of the sixth episode "The Harmony of Five Flavors".

An urgent knock on the door pulled her out of the description of mountains and rivers.

"Please come in!"

Before Qu Ling finished speaking, Xie Meiyu walked in excitedly.

"My Chairman Xie, why do you always make a special trip to me? Just give me a call and I will accept your summons!" Qu Ling teased, looking at Xie Meiyu who looked happy.

"Come on, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Xie Meiyu sat down on the couch by the window, "I just got some good news and I'm anxious to find someone to share it with!"

"Oh? I have good news too!" Qu Ling stood up from the office chair and poured a glass of water for Xie Meiyu, walked to the sofa and sat down against Xie Meiyu, "You say it first!"

Xie Meiyu picked up the cup and took a sip of water, "Xiao Ma just called me, and QQ's monthly financial statements came out, making an unprecedented profit! This time I finally found the right direction!"

"Really? This is great news. The reports of the investment department in the past two months are full of anxiety. The membership fee charging effect of Xiaoma and others is not very good. Users are lost too fast. What will happen this time? Are you making a profit?" Qu Ling asked with surprise.

Xie Meiyu replied with a face full of joy: "If the east is not bright, the west is bright. They and the mobile company have launched a monthly SMS Internet subscription campaign, which has become very popular. For five yuan a month, you can send text messages on the mobile phone at will. Consumers are still Love affordable stuff!”

Qu Ling nodded and responded: "That's for sure. Who doesn't like the convenience of saving money! This time Tencent has overcome this difficulty. When several similar software came out in the past two months, I was very worried. , we don’t know much about network operations, so it’s heart-breaking to just watch from the sidelines!”

"Who says it's not! After all, this is the company's biggest asset. Can you not worry about it? However, I still believe in my son's vision and luck. Xiaoma and the others have indeed done a great job! This time I am relaxed. I don't know. , I couldn't sleep well during this period, Qiu Jiang even said that I was obsessed with money!" Xie Meiyu responded with a breath.

"By the way, didn't you say there is good news coming? Tell me quickly and let me experience the feeling of double happiness!"

Qu Ling replied with a smile: "Your genius son has started writing a new book again, this time it is about espionage."

"That's it! It's time to start writing at his speed. I'm used to spy war themes. Do you want to write a story about catching a spy?" Xie Meiyu asked calmly.

Qu Ling glanced at Xie Meiyu, "You said it was easy, but writing a book is not as easy as you said. It is not easy for Xiaohe to find inspiration so quickly. It is impossible for a writer to maintain his creative peak all the time. Xiaohe did a good job, and also Very hard work!”

"Haha... Editor Qu is still complaining for my son!" Xie Meiyu looked at Qu Ling with a smile and said, "I know it's not easy for Xiaohe. I will go to the capital to stay with him for a while in a few days. This child is indeed too busy. He has to go to school, and sometimes I don’t know why he makes himself so tired!”

"Maybe this is the daily life of geniuses, we can't understand it!" Qu Ling sighed.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Besides, it makes me feel bad. Please tell me about this subject of catching spies!" Xie Meiyu changed the subject.

Qu Ling smiled at Xie Meiyu, "It's a spy war! You should have seen "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", it was very popular in the 1980s!"

"I haven't seen it. At that time, few houses in our small county had TVs. We only bought a 14-inch black and white TV in 1989. It was not too late in the county at that time!"

"You know the underground workers, right? Xiaohe writes about heroes on the unknown front. It's a very good subject and should be exciting!" Qu Ling explained to Xie Meiyu.

"You know, there are people like Li Xia in "The Eternal Wave"! It's a good movie. I still remember the movie clearly. I heard it was adapted from a true story!" Xie Meiyu nodded in response.

"Yes! The prototype of this movie is Li Bai, an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party."

Two strong women in the eyes of outsiders were chatting about spy movies in the office.

Their interest was so high that they didn't realize it until they got off work at noon!

Shanhe, who is in the capital, has already started preparations for his new book, and the overall plot and concept have been completed smoothly.

He has also listed dozens of characters one by one. What he needs to do now is to fill them with flesh and blood and make them come alive.

He began to look up information in the library. From the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo to the failed surrender of the little Japanese, he needed to create a consistent background for the characters he wrote.

In order to find information, he called almost all his acquaintances in Beijing.

What goes around comes around. In the end, the people who helped Shanhe the most were a few elderly people from the Palace Museum.

With their introduction, Shanhe got in touch with the Archives Department of the Cultural and Historical Affairs Department. After receiving permission, he entered the archives room and browsed the internal materials.

Among them are some records about the experiences of Yuan Shu and Li Bai.

What surprised Shanhe the most was that he found a series of information on the CCP's underground liaison station in Manzhouli.

There are also some sporadic cases of going to the Soviet Union to receive agent training.

Very similar to his idea, this transportation station that had existed in Northeast Manchukuo for nearly twenty years safely opened the passage from China to the Soviet Union at that time.

Almost all the people who went to the Soviet Union successfully left the country under their arrangements and existed safely for more than 20 years.

Shanhe is like a treasure, and he keeps recording the materials he needs in the archives.

While Shanhe was busy collecting materials, Ning Hao and his wife came out with a new script.

The new script "Green Grass" tells the story of three grassland children who picked up a table tennis ball. Their grandmother told them that it was a pearl falling from the sky, so they insisted on dedicating the table tennis ball to the country as a treasure.

This script has a strong regional flavor. The beautiful scenery, the sincerity and simplicity of the herdsmen, and the persistence and naivety of the children in the script are very touching.

In addition, it also touches on hot social issues such as environmental protection and girls' education, with a style of both realism and aestheticism.

When Shanhe saw the script, Ning Hao had already gone to Hollywood to join the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to work and study.

Shanhe saw Ning Hao's change in the script. He abandoned the abstraction and surrealism of "Incense" and began to focus on telling stories.

Although the realism flavor is still very strong, the script is very interesting.

Let's wait until Ning Hao returns from Hollywood. I hope he can rise faster than in his previous life. After all, he has better conditions.

In mid-November, the first snow finally fell in the capital. Shanhe opened the window of the wing and was greeted by a blast of cold air.

The middle courtyard has been covered with white, and only the original color remains under the grape trellis.

Shan He patted his cheek and took a deep breath of the air purified by the heavy snow. He stayed online until midnight last night, browsed all the major forums, and even used a trumpet to quarrel with several male haters!

"Face to Face" Shanhe's exclusive interview was broadcast on CCTV 1 last night.

Shanhe's words really caused an uproar. In just a few hours, the original post mentioned in Shanhe's interview was pinned to the top of major online forums.

There are thousands of comments under each post.

The voices of support and doubt are quarreling more and more fiercely!

Shanhe has a new nickname "Kangsheng"!

Shanhe knew very well that this was just the beginning, and soon his words would stir up bigger waves and cause more troubles!

But he doesn't care. What I said is just the truth. Wouldn't it be better to have more confidence? Let him listen, shout or bark as much as he likes!

Different from the tranquility of the mountains and rivers, several phones of CCTV's "Face to Face" column group have been ringing continuously since early in the morning.

Requests to replay the interview with Shan He in "Face to Face" flooded in to the column team in an endless stream.

Several editors and directors from the column team kept answering the phone calls. "Face to Face" had never experienced such a scene before, and everyone was a little confused!

"Director, what do you think we should do? The audience's demands are very strong. How should we arrange it?"

Liu Haichao frowned and replied: "What should we do? What are you doing? This is a good thing. The audience's response is enthusiastic, which shows that our program is successful. The program department has the final say on rebroadcasting. We are so anxious!" "

"The program department is busier than us. Almost all the external accounts are asking for a replay of the Shanhe interview!"

Liu Haichao rubbed his forehead. He thought that Shanhe's declaration would trigger discussions, but he didn't expect it to be so violent!

This is still the first day after the broadcast!

Soon, he found the director of the program department, Gao Xingxun, who was thinking, "Director Gao, what is the situation now? Are the replays arranged? What are the instructions from the station?"

Gao Xunxun raised his head and glared at Liu Haichao, "Why are you nervous! There is no problem with the program. The audience's demands must be met. It will be broadcast again at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Please contact Shanhe and let him know."

"Okay, I guess the noise caused this time is quite big!"

"It's a good thing!"

At this time, the major forums on the Internet have already started to stir up trouble.

The original words of Shanhe's interview were pinned to the top of the forum post, and various voices began to shout unscrupulously.

"A young man has his own youthful madness. He despises Kunlun and laughs at Luliang. He has sharpened his sword for several years, and today he shows his sharpness.

Refined by the fierce fire for another hundred days, it will turn Moye into evil, and the sharp blade will cut through the Vajra.

The young eagle soars with its first feathers, covered with thunder and proud of the scorching sun.

The strong wind sings, not afraid of the ice, snow and frost. I want to go up to the blue sky to embrace the sun and moon, pour over the East China Sea, and wash away the vast universe. "

A message adapted from an ancient poem by Su Dongpo aroused even more enthusiasm and passion among young netizens.

The voices of support for Shanhe instantly overwhelmed the doubts.

"We can do it, why can't we!"

"What's wrong with being crazy! It's well written. Teenagers will be crazy!"

"Shan He is right. They have shown all the history. We Chinese people have this spirit. We are the nation at the top!"

"You don't support your ancestors and civilization, but you go to worship other upstarts. These people should be cut off!"

"A bunch of guys who have been kneeling for a long time and don't know what dignity is. Our ancestors are much stronger than Europe and the United States. Can't we say that we are born to be a nation at the top?"

"Let the data speak for itself! Even a primary school student can calculate it! It will surely surpass Neon in ten years!"

…

"CCTV will rebroadcast Shanhe's interview at 4pm tomorrow, so please pay attention!"

Within a day, Shanhe's speech was spread throughout the Internet, and the song "Young Man Has His Own Youth" was collected and promoted by countless netizens!

This turmoil soon spread to reality, and various media outlets reprinted and commented on Shanhe's speech.

They are also divided into two factions, with more support and more skepticism!

The name of Shanhe's "crazy birth" suddenly spread throughout the country.

The next day, Dazhong Daily published a commentator's article "On Civilized Confidence!" 》.

The entire article starts from the history of China and ends with the development results of the past twenty years. It presents facts and reports, and shows the changes in the past twenty years to the world.

Although there is no mention of Shanhe in the whole article, every sentence supports Shanhe’s interview!

The National Youth Daily directly used the title "Youth has its own teenage madness" to call on young people to work hard for the revival of Chinese civilization, and finally concluded with "We will definitely stand on the top!"

Suddenly "confidence, self-improvement" became a buzzword!

An old book from the 1990s on the Internet is "China Can Say No!" " was turned out and discussed hotly, and it was soon discovered that some of the descriptions in it had become reality.

This best-selling book from the 1990s is back in vogue!

Shanhe's words aroused a wave of nationalist thoughts and completely suppressed those general talks of nihilism!

Shanhe, the instigator, did not participate in these discussions. He stayed quietly in the old house and wrote the outline of his novel.

It has a demeanor of "quietly watching the flowers bloom and fall, sitting and watching the clouds roll and relax"!

His complacency was not understood by his family. Seeing the turmoil coming, several elders in the city were naturally worried about the mountains and rivers in the center.

Xie Meiyu quickly boarded a flight to the capital.

Yang Liu picked up Xie Meiyu who hurriedly arrived at the Beijing International Airport.

"Yangliu, is Shanhe okay? Please tell me something, my family is worried to death!" Xie Meiyu asked anxiously after getting in the car.

Yang Liu calmly started the car and replied: "Chairman, Shanhe is fine. He has been writing the outline of a novel in the courtyard for the past few days. He is more leisurely than usual. You don't have to worry too much!"

"How can you not be worried? The reports about Shanhe in the southern newspapers are very unpleasant. Words like Kuangsheng and Zhuzi are used all over the newspapers. There are also reports that he deliberately incites ignorant teenagers and creates confrontation, saying that Xiaohe is not good at all. Adapting to the trend of the world and creating obstacles for the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures! Can we not be worried after seeing this?" Xie Meiyu responded with an angry look.

Yang Liu replied while driving: "Chairman, don't pay attention to those messy reports. Authoritative newspapers such as Dazhong Daily and Youth Daily support Shanhe's speech. Besides, what Shanhe said is the truth. Those people distort the facts like this for some other reason." !”

"Master Xiaohe said that these southern newspapers and periodicals are banana media with yellow skin and white heart. Xiaohe blocked their way and demolished their stage!" Xie Meiyu said angrily, "I don't look down on these guys who disrespect our ancestors. , no matter how good the foreign country is, it’s important to have ancestors!”

The corners of Yang Liu's mouth raised slightly, "Chairman, don't worry, there are many more supporters of Shanhe than you think!"

At the same time, at the door of the courtyard, Shanhe was greeting Zhang Yimou who came to the door, "Brother, why are you here? Come in quickly!"

Zhang Yimou stepped into the yard with a smile, "I heard that you have been talked about a lot recently, so I came here to take a look. I originally wanted to chat with you to vent my anger, but it seems that I was overly worried. You are so calm and indifferent. Yes, I didn’t take it to heart!”

Shanhe led Zhang Yi into the main hall, "What I said on TV is all true. As for what I poked at, I know it myself. Why should I care about these discussions! Senior brother, please sit down! I'll make a pot of tea."

After a while, the two of them sat in front of the coffee table and started chatting while drinking tea.

"Brother, it's a coincidence that you're here. My mother will be here soon. Let's have lunch together. My parents both like your movies, uh~ my father likes them better!" Shanhe added some tea to Zhang Yi.

"Then it's not the right time for me to come. Your family is reunited, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to join you!"

"What's inappropriate about that? It's better to meet by chance than to invite. By the way, why are you free now? You don't need to worry about "Hero"?" Shanhe asked.

Zhang Yimou raised a cup and took a sip of tea, "Wei Ping is in charge of publicity, and I will cooperate. The production of "Hero" has been completed, and I have a lot of free time!"

"What about the overseas distribution rights? Are those companies interested?" Shanhe continued to ask.

"Mike from Disney Pictures is very active, and several other companies are also interested. One of them, Harvey Weinstein, is particularly interested, saying that he can run "Heroes" to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. He has repeatedly expressed his interest to We express our intention to cooperate." Zhang Yimou replied.

"Harvey Weinstein!" Shanhe pondered for a while. Shanhe knew that this man was indeed the biggest promoter of the Oscars, but he had a very bad reputation and had many dirty tricks.

Zhang Yimou looked at Shanhe who was silent and said, "What, is there something wrong with this person?"

"Uh~ How should I put it? I heard Jerry talk about this guy. He is indeed a famous Oscar promoter, but he has a very bad reputation in private. He is famous for turning his back on others. You should be careful when dealing with him. Don't be fooled by him!" Shanhe explained to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "I will talk to Weiping. No matter what he says, it will be a failure if the contract is not signed!"

At this time, Shanhe's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw a call from Ma Weidu.

"Brother, let me answer the phone!"

"Take it!"

Shanhe answered the phone, and Ma Weidu spoke in an authentic Beijing accent, "Hey, Shanhe, are you at home? I'm at your door right now. Open the door quickly!"

"Hey! What day is it today? Everyone has agreed on it. Wait a minute and I will open the door for you!"

Putting down the phone, Shanhe smiled and said to Zhang Yimou: "Ma Weidu is at the door. I'll open the door. Do you know him?"

"We know it, but we're not familiar with it!"

As soon as Shanhe opened the door, he saw Ma Weidu standing on the steps holding two wine jars. As soon as the door opened, he came in and said, "From what you said on the phone, I'm not the only one here today. Who else is there?"

"Zhang Yimou! Do you know him?"

"Who doesn't know him? He's a great director, but I haven't said a few words to him. I guess he can't even call me by my name!" Ma Weidu wandered towards the middle courtyard.

"You're here now, carrying two jars of wine. Are you looking for me to have a good time?"

"No! I'm afraid you'll get offended by the scolding from those southern newspapers. Come and take a look. Look at your calm appearance. You are sitting on the Diaoyutai!" Ma Weidu replied with a smile.

Shan He smiled and said, "My mother will be coming from Shanghai in a while, and we will have dinner together at noon. These two jars of wine will be used!"

"Yeah, what a coincidence, so I won't be pretentious!"

While the two were talking, they entered the living room of the main room. Zhang Yimou got up and exchanged a few words with Ma Weidu, then sat together at the coffee table, sipping tea and chatting.

Ma Weidu took a sip of tea and spoke, "Shanhe didn't say anything particularly harsh in the interview. Even if it was a little exaggerated, those southern newspapers wouldn't catch you and scold you, right?"

Zhang Yimou raised his head and smiled, "They are grabbing the right to speak. The more people support Shanhe, the more their interests will be damaged. It is about the size of the job given by others. How can we not attack them in groups?"

Shan He looked at Zhang Yi and smiled, refilling the tea for the two of them.

"Director Zhang means that they don't want our country to surpass Neon, and they don't want us to develop again. This doesn't make sense!" Ma Weidu didn't know much about this group of people in the south.

"Yes, of course they are willing, but the path is different, just like Hu Shi advocated the abolition of Chinese characters and the complete acceptance of Latin!"

"Oh, I understand, that's what it means, hey! Hu Shi couldn't see clearly the reason of the times at that time, but now he's doing this, he's really blind, don't pay attention to them!"

"They and I have been sitting across from each other for a long time. My master is right. There are a lot of banana people with yellow skin and white hearts. It would be better if they were bribed. It only means that they are not strong-willed and are afraid. If they really think so, then there will be a big problem!" Shanhe said calmly.

Zhang Yimou nodded, "There should be quite a few, especially on Hong Kong Island. The young people there basically have no feelings for their country and their country. Their education and justice are problematic. I stayed there for a few months and they discriminated against us." It’s not small, but it’s a pity that there is a lack of domestic film production, so we probably have to rely on them for the time being!”

Ma Weidu was aroused by Zhang Yi's words, "Director Zhang, you still have someone on Hong Kong Island who looks at you, who is so mean-spirited?"

"I'll call you Lao Ma, okay?"

"Of course, you are a few years older than me, so you can call me Xiaoma!"

"Lao Ma, sometimes the discrimination is in the heart. Most of the time, due to various factors, they are very enthusiastic towards you, but inadvertently you can feel their sense of superiority coming from deep inside. Maybe it's because of me It looks too vulgar!" Zhang Yimou laughed at himself.

Shanhe shook his head and smiled, "The layout is too small! What prospects does the small Hong Kong Island have without the support of the vast mainland market? In addition, it has been colonized for a long time, and without a sense of cultural identity, it has lost its sense of security. , the appearance of being superior is a sign of inner uneasiness!”

"This is the first time I have heard of these things. Let's not talk about Hong Kong Island. Shanhe is right. After being colonized for a long time, these people in China can't explain it. They sit on their butts crookedly!" Ma Wei asked in confusion. .

"Don't underestimate these people. There is a term in the West called 'Color Revolution', which relies on the advocacy and incitement of these people. Such people are quite powerful in Eastern European countries. They were even one of the key reasons for the disintegration of the former Soviet Union! " Shanhe explained to Ma Weidu.

Ma Weidu said with enlightenment: "It's no wonder they don't like you so much. Your words are tearing them down, but these people probably won't be able to make a difference. Look at the Internet and leave messages supporting you. The overwhelming majority, especially that poem, although the level is average, it is full of vigor and written with great blood!"

"Shanhe, in foreign countries, public figures like you who can express opinions on behalf of an entire generation of peers are called opinion leaders. It is not easy to do so. It is rare and lucky to have a figure like you in China!" Zhang Yi Mou sighed.

Shanhe looked at the two of them and responded with a smile: "You two are really here to comfort me, you praise me so highly! Instead of talking about such unhappy topics, I will show you the outline of my new book. , it’s almost written!”

"This is okay, hurry up!"

Shanhe handed the unfinished printed outline to the two of them.

The two started reading without saying anything.

About half an hour later, Zhang Yimou raised his head after reading it first, looked at the mountains and rivers and said: "The outline you wrote is very suitable for me, especially the several scene presets of the heavy snow in the Northeast, which are very picturesque. I look forward to it." How about this new book, help me write a script when the time comes, and let’s film it?”

Shan He looked at Zhang Yimou, his inertia was really strong!

"Brother, are you free?"

"Time is always tight!"

"Okay! But you should finish the first part of "Three Kingdoms" first!"

"What about the Three Kingdoms? You still want to make a movie about the Three Kingdoms?" Ma Weidu asked after hearing this.

"China Film Group is going to shoot, my senior brother is the director, and I am a bystander!"

"Three Kingdoms is okay! This is a good idea. I will definitely have to read it then!" Ma Weidu praised, "Shanhe, why do you have so many ideas in each book, pretending to be a couple! Although it is still an outline, I can already imagine it That’s exciting. Also, the biography of Gao Bin is very complete. Are you going to spend a lot of time portraying a villain?"

"Yes!" Shanhe replied, "The entanglement between the three is the main thread of the entire novel. I don't want to stereotype the characters. Bad guys will occasionally do good things, and their stance does not represent human nature!"

The three of them wanted to continue the discussion, when the voices of Xie Meiyu and Yang Liu came in.

"My mother is here!"

The three of them welcomed them out. After some introductions and pleasantries, Xie Meiyu made the decision and they had a hot pot feast in Donglaishun.

After lunch, both Zhang Yimou and Ma Weidu said goodbye and left.

After Yang Liu sent the mother and son back to the courtyard, he also left wisely.
