Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Zhong Lifeng gave Shanhe a good first impression!

First of all, people are visual animals. Zhong Lifang, who is in the best age of a woman, is dressed in a black professional suit. She has a well-proportioned figure and delicate makeup. Her long black hair is draped behind her shoulders. She looks intellectual and capable. .

Zhong Lifeng shook hands with Shanhe and introduced himself, "Hello Shanhe, I am Zhong Lifeng. I will be the person in charge of the Beijing branch in the future. If you have any requests or instructions, you can give me direct orders!"

"Hello, Ms. Zhong, I am Qiu Shanhe, and this is Ning Hao, a talented director and the only contracted director of our company." Shanhe introduced Ning Hao to Zhong Lifeng.

"Hello, Director Ning, I just read your film information. You are indeed an outstanding talent in the film industry. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!" Zhong Lifeng extended his hand to Ning Hao and said.

Ning Hao also reached out and gave Zhong Lifeng a gentle squeeze, "Mr. Zhong, thank you for your praise. Thanks to Shanhe, I haven't achieved anything yet. I hope I can be worthy of your praise in the future!"

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they sat down at the reception table in the general manager's office. Yang Liu played the role of secretary and poured water for them.

After Shanhe smiled and thanked Yangliu, he turned to look at Zhong Lifeng, "Ms. Zhong, I am a bit unfamiliar with calling you this. We should have frequent contacts and exchanges in the future. I'd better call you more intimate and call you Sister Zhong, okay?" "

"Of course! I'm honored to be called that by a literary genius!"

"That's ridiculous!" Shanhe responded with a smile, "Sister Zhong, my mother and Aunt Qu both admire you very much. I believe in their vision. However, in view of future work needs, I still want to ask you, what do you think about it? What do you think of the future of film and television in China?"

Zhong Lifeng looked directly at Shanhe and replied: "I have been in Europe piecemeal for nearly three years. I have watched a lot about the current situation of European film culture. Hollywood has usurped their film market. All aspects of the culture of country M Its influence has exceeded that of Europe's local cultural industry. To be honest, I am not very optimistic about the future of Europe. All levels of economy and culture have been invaded too much. The so-called EU is just a loose quarrel platform and peacemaking agency. , it is even impossible to form a joint force! We cannot resist the infiltration and invasion of country M at all levels!"

Zhong Lifang paused for a while, seeming to feel that she had gone too far, "China has joined the WTO, and the cultural and economic protection umbrella will slowly be closed. We will inevitably face competition. I am very optimistic about the domestic The future, whether it is economic or cultural, we Chinese are very suitable for this kind of competition that is mainly based on literary struggle. The experience and wisdom left by our history and civilization should be able to give us more strategies! I am very convinced that the country cannot Like Europe, if we give up such an important cultural industry as film, which is the best promotion platform for national culture, once it is completely occupied by Hollywood movies, the consequences will be unimaginable. By then, young people’s thinking will be slowly assimilated to Western consciousness. China will lose its most important foundation and heritage!"

Shanhe and Ning Hao listened quietly to Zhong Lifeng's speech. She was very eloquent and had a broad vision.

"Therefore, supporting the development and growth of domestic films will be China's long-term policy in the future. The release and success of "Hero" is a good proof. The domestic theater reform has been initially completed, and I think there will be bigger ones in the future. Changes have occurred. In the past two years, private film and television companies have entered a period of rapid development. They will invest more and more in the film industry. Unsurprisingly, domestic films will have a period of rapid development opportunities. Can they withstand Hollywood's heavy investment in the film industry? It’s hard to say what the impact will be, but stabilizing the situation shouldn’t be a big problem. At this juncture, we have great opportunities and many opportunities!”

Zhong Lifeng's words made Shan and He look at her with admiration, and they had a good understanding of the situation at home and abroad.

"That's very well said. I agree very much!" Shanhe applauded Zhong Lifeng gently, "Sister Zhong, have you considered Chuhe Film and Television's views and plans? You have just arrived at the company and you may not know much about the current situation of the company. But let’s chat casually, I’m very curious about your opinions and looking forward to it!”

"Thank you for your recognition!" Zhong Lifeng lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied, "Although I have just come to the company, I have learned about some situations. I studied marketing management and venture capital management abroad, and I have also been exposed to it at Phoenix TV before. Film and television media, but experience and connections are still too little. Chuhe Film and Television can be said to be in an invincible position with your copyright operating income to maintain it. My idea is to clarify the management level in the past two years, cultivate and hoard good technology and talents, lay a solid foundation, and once we have the opportunity, we will be able to rise into the wind. At that time, we will consider expanding the production team, joining the competition for theaters, and even starting to form our own special effects company. Our chances of success are very high, because we have With you here, we will have a lot of room to move!”

The prospect described by Zhong Lifeng aroused Ning Hao's emotions, "Hey! What Mr. Zhong said is great. I always had this intuition before, but I just couldn't express it. After listening to Mr. Zhong's words today, I was enlightened. Shanhe, we can definitely make the company bigger and benefit more young filmmakers. I suggest setting up a fund to support young directors. It doesn’t need a lot. Many young people just lack an opportunity. If we can find talents that can help the company It’s going to be huge!”

Ning Hao's proposal made Shanhe impressed, "Old Ning, your idea is great, why didn't you put it forward earlier?"

"I only had a vague idea before, but today Mr. Zhong's words made it much clearer!" Ning Hao responded with a smile.

Shanhe nodded and asked Zhong Lifeng, "Sister Zhong, what do you think of Ning Hao's idea?"

"It's a very good proposal. The investment is not big, but the output effect will be great. It's worth buying horse bones for a thousand dollars!" Zhong Lifang also supported it.

"Sister Zhong, I leave the daily and personnel management of the company to you. Yang Liu and I will fully support you. Ning Hao and I still have to focus on our professions. You can set up a support fund for young directors as soon as possible. Plan to do it Okay, I will communicate with the Magic City side!" Shanhe said to Zhong Lifeng with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will do my best!" Zhong Lifeng solemnly promised.

Zhong Lifeng's vision and ideas are very forward-looking. Shanhe is very satisfied. There is no problem with the general direction. As for the specific management ability, it will take time to prove it.

After the company topic stopped for a while, the three of them started chatting about Zhong Lifang's study abroad trip in Europe.

Ning Hao was very curious about Zhong Lifeng's life in Europe and asked about the current situation of life and movies in Europe.

When he was a student, Ning Hao was fascinated by Europe, the birthplace of film and the palace of art, but he felt a bit ironic and derogatory in Zhong Lifeng's description.

"Mr. Zhong, your impression of Europe is not very good? It was my dream to study in country Y. Studying in Europe was my dream. Europe should be very developed. In my impression, Europe is even more modern than country M, and its cultural influence is also great. It should be much bigger than Country M, right?"

Zhong Lifeng smiled when he heard this and replied: "My previous thoughts were exactly the same as yours, so I went to study in country Y. After I stayed there for a while, I was a little disappointed. It was very different from what I imagined. European Racial discrimination is quite serious, and there are serious double standards in treating others and oneself. For ordinary people in China, Europe is actually very closed. They are intoxicated in their own world and don't care about the outside world! Yes, Europe is still developed and technology is still the same. They are powerful, but I always feel that their potential has been exhausted and they are getting old!”

"So you didn't stay in Europe and returned to China?" Shanhe asked.

"I went to Europe to study and pursue my dream. Living abroad was not within my scope of consideration. My home is in China. Besides, life in country Y does not attract me. I even hate it. The weather is bad and the food is not good. , the public security is not as good as at home. The social classes in country Y are severely divided. Most people disdain the EU. They are still arrogant. Country M has penetrated country Y to this extent. People in country Y still look down on people in country M and still think they are It's the boss!" Zhong Lifeng complained.

Ning Hao was a little confused by Zhong Lifeng's words, "The three major European film festivals should still be the world's top film events, right? The Oscars can't match their influence, right?"

"You are wrong. In the eyes of ordinary Europeans, the Oscars have surpassed the three major European film festivals. Art films have always been a niche. Even the three major European film festivals have been increasingly penetrated by Hollywood!"

…

The three of them had a great time chatting!

It was already noon when Shanhe came out of the company.

Shanhe was very satisfied with his mother and Qu Ling's choice.

Zhong Lifeng is indeed well-deserved. Her prediction of the development of the times shows that she is a returnee elite with a broad vision and the courage to think and do.

After setting up a welcoming banquet for Zhong Lifang that night, Shanhe put aside the company's affairs and devoted himself to Beijing Film Academy's final exam.

When Shanhe finished his final exam and was about to return to the Magic City, the domestic box office of "Hero" had exceeded the 250 million in Shanhe's memory.

The bumper harvest at the overseas box office has also given domestic box office longevity.

According to the current situation, the extension key will bring the box office of "Hero" to about 270 million.

The rebirth of Shanhe has increased the box office ceiling of domestic movies by another 20 million.

Driven by the success of "Hero", China's costume action movies are expected to have a blowout period. Next year's Chinese film market will also bring a sense of expectation to film and television companies.

Have Chinese films finally bottomed out?

Shanhe met his father and sister at Modu International Airport.

Qiu Chuxi had a sharp eye. Although Shanhe was wearing a baseball cap and disguised, she recognized him as soon as he appeared at the exit.

"Brother, here, here!" Qiu Chuxi's crisp shout made the passengers at the exit look over.

Most of the passengers smiled at the excited little girl.

Qiu Chuxi didn't care about anything else. She hadn't seen this brother who made her proud and doted on her for half a year. Excitement and longing filled her little head.

"Dad, my brother is there. He's coming out soon. Let's go there quickly!" Qiu Chuxi pulled her father's clothes and shouted.

As soon as Shanhe left the airport, Qiu Chuxi trotted into Shanhe's arms. Shanhe let go of the luggage cart, hugged his sister gently, smiled and said to Qiu Jiang behind him: "Dad, how did you give Xixi to Bring it!"

Qiu Jiang looked at the affectionate interaction between his children and his whole body with smiles on his face, "She danced all night yesterday after knowing that you were coming home today. When I drove today, she was already sitting in the car. If it weren't for your mother, Your sister even brought Doudou with her!"

"Haha..." Shanhe touched the little head buried in his arms, "Xixi, my brother didn't prepare a gift for you this time!"

"Brother, I miss you. It has nothing to do with the gift!" Qiu Chuxi raised her head and responded.

Shanhe pulled his sister in his arms in front of him, "Let me see, she has grown taller, her hair has grown a lot, she is almost a big girl, let's go home!"

Shanhe took his sister and watched Qiu Jiang drive a black business car out of the parking lot and stopped in front of Shanhe.

"Dad, when did you buy a new car? It's still a commercial car, not bad!" Shanhe opened the trunk and put the luggage in with his father who got off the car.

While helping his son put his luggage, Qiu Jiang replied: "Buick GL8, it's not bad, Haiyang introduced it. He has now negotiated an agency contract with Buick, and the first 4S store will open in Shanghai next year!"

Shanhe put away his luggage, opened the car door and sat next to his sister, "Why doesn't Dad buy a car?"

Qiu Jiang skillfully started the car and replied by the way: "The capacity of the car is too small. We have to go home for the New Year this year. I plan to drive back by myself, so Doudou can take it with me. When it is more spacious, I can drive it everywhere!"

"That makes sense!"

"This year Haiyang also drove home. Our two families happened to be together and went back to Minbei County together. He also booked a hotel for tomorrow and said he would pick him up for you!" Qiu Jiang said as he looked in the rearview mirror.

"It's good to get together! Is there any news about Qin Nan's match yet?" Shanhe asked.

"This kind of thing depends on luck, and there is no use of strength! But she is in good health and is in her freshman year at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics!"

Qiu Chuxi on the side also interjected: "Sister Qin Nan often comes to our house, and she also takes me to buy snacks and skateboards with me. She is such a nice person!"

Shan He hugged his sister next to him and lowered his head and asked, "I'm going to junior high school next year. Are my grades okay? Mom told me when I was in the capital that if your grades drop, all your skateboards and skates will be confiscated!"

"I'm now in the top 20 in my class. If it weren't for the constant scoring of essays, I would be in the top 10. Brother, we still have an unfulfilled promise!"

"I'll remember it! Whenever you want to cash it in, as long as I'm free, I'll do it for you right away!"

"Haha...my brother is a cow!"

The father and son arrived at the small western-style building chatting and laughing.

As soon as Shanhe opened the door, he saw Yu Zhengchong and his wife waiting at the door.

Shanhe got out of the car and stepped forward to give the old couple a hug.

"Master and Master, why do I feel that you two are younger than before!" Shanhe said with a smile.

"Haha..." Yu Zhengchong responded with a bright smile, "You two brothers and sisters are really the same, your mouths are getting sweeter and sweeter!"

Shanhe was about to reply when he saw Doudou, the Labrador dog, rushing towards him from the yard.

Shanhe hugged Doudou, who had straightened up and was lying on his chest, pushing his big head to prevent his face from being licked, "It's over, my clothes are stained by you again!"

Qiu Chuxi pulled Doudou's ears by the side, "Doudou, why are you so slow, you didn't come out to pick us up!"

Shanhe stroked Doudou's dog head and asked Yu Zhengchong and the old couple, "Where is my mother?"

"Your mother has a meeting at the company today and will be back soon. She even prepared the side dishes last night and is waiting for you to come back to cook you a big meal!" Master Xie replied with a smile.

After comforting Doudou, Shanhe and his father moved the luggage into the room.

Then the family laughed and talked about the past events in the family in the past six months in the living room.

Most of them are about my sister Qiu Chuxi. She has done a lot of interesting things in the past six months!

Not long after, Xie Meiyu hurried home in a hurry. After being curious about her son for a while, she began to prepare for the Hakka dinner in the evening.

After a lively Hakka meal, the three men in the family sat at the coffee table in the side room and chatted about Shanhe's new book.

"Xiaohe, where did you write "Cliff"? I read the outline, it's very fascinating!" Yu Zhengchong asked.

"It is indeed very attractive. Pretending to be a couple, going deep into the enemy's lair, danger is always with you. Just by looking at the outline, you can imagine the indescribable tension and depression!" Qiu Jiang also agreed.

"I've written less than half of it, and I'm quite satisfied with it." Shanhe replied.

"Do you have a manuscript? I can't stand reading in front of the computer!" Qiu Jiang asked.

"There is a typescript of the first paragraph. I printed it out for easy revision. I'll get it." Shanhe got up and went back to the room to get the manuscript.

Qiu Jiang and Yu Zhengchong took several thin manuscripts and began to read them in turn.

Half an hour later, Qiu Jiang finished reading the manuscript first and said eagerly to Shanhe: "I will have a printer at home in the future. It will be difficult to read, and it will be uncomfortable!"

Shanhe laughed when he saw his father's aggrieved look, "Dad, is it such an exaggeration? It seems that I just wrote that Gu Qiuyan asked her brother-in-law to convey the information, and the story hasn't even started yet!"

"Why not? This Gu Qiuyan was too careless. Something must have gone wrong later. Am I right?" Qiu Jiang asked.

"Yes!" Shanhe nodded, "This is the first time they have been exposed after surviving the crisis of meeting. Sometimes underground work requires not only caution, but also luck!"

Yu Zhengchong also finished reading at this time, "Xiaohe, your style has changed a bit this time. The large-scale scenery, especially the heavy snow, one after another, gives people a strong sense of depression, but the picture The feeling is also very strong, I can even imagine the scene of the two of them walking on the streets of Harbin. And this Zhou Bin, a big villain, your writing is no less than that of Gu Qiuyan, he is even more charming than Gu Qiuyan, no The facial-like characters and several supporting characters are also written with flesh and blood, which is an improvement over before!"

"Master, I was lucky enough to read a lot of internal information this time, and also interviewed the descendants of a legendary agent. I found that underground work behind enemy lines is sometimes a struggle that goes against or goes beyond human ethics. A successful agent often has to face himself. Comrades are tortured and killed in front of themselves, sometimes even by themselves. The pain and the destruction of humanity are unbearable for ordinary people! I painted a large area of ​​scenery and heavy snow just to increase this depressing atmosphere. In "Cliff", Zhou Yi also had to execute his wife in the later period. In this book, I didn't want to make the spy war more exciting and tortuous. I hope to show readers a real heroic life and let them know What the heroes on the unknown front have sacrificed for their faith and future, in my opinion, this kind of sacrifice has exceeded the limits of normal people!" Shanhe said with some excitement.

Shanhe's words shocked Yu Zhengchong and Qiu Jiang. Qiu Jiang asked: "Is underground work so cruel?"

"The real situation is much crueler than what I wrote in the book. I once saw in a document that an agent was forced to choose between intelligence and his own children. In the end, he chose intelligence. As you can imagine How devastating this would be to people's hearts!" Shanhe said in a deep voice.

The two of them were silent for a while. Yu Zhengchong said in a low voice: "The harm caused by the war to the country and the people is indeed too great. In war years, human nature will turn into bestiality! It is unimaginable for us who have not experienced it!"

Qiu Jiang also said: "Some people have really paid too much for our current life, and they haven't even left their names. We can't forget them!"

Shanhe poured hot tea for the two elders, and then told them about Yuan Shu's legendary experience, which made the two elders stunned.

"Are you telling the truth? It's incredible that there is such a character!"

"In fact, it's not just Yuan Shu. There are also similar figures in the West, Sorge, a German, but he was a former Soviet spy. He also had several prominent identities and legendary experiences. However, he did not live to the end. During World War II Later he was hanged by the Neon Man!"

"I can't even think of it. It's amazing!"

The three people's emotions were quickly broken by Qiu Chuxi, "Master, dad, brother, my mom asked me to call you over to play cards. My mom is addicted to cards!"

Yu Zhengchong looked at Qiu Chuxi fondly and smiled: "You didn't bother to watch "Pink Girl" today. Your mother was right, that movie is not suitable for children!"

“A lot of people in our class watched it!”

"Your mother won't let you watch it, so just watch something else!"

"My mother was fascinated by it!"

…

The whole family walked to the living room while chattering.

That night, Xie Meiyu's card game didn't end until almost early in the morning.

Shanhe lost in a mess!

The next day, Shanhe, Qu Ling, and Qin Haiyang gathered together in the hotel.

Qin Haiyang booked the largest private room, and a large round table could just be filled.

Shanhe saw Qin Nan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She had changed so much. She had grown into a slim girl. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot her slightly sick appearance.

After she called "Brother Shanhe!", she took Qiu Chuxi and Qu Ling's daughter and ran to the other side with a smile and started whispering.

He is completely different from the sweet girl who was silent and said very little!

After everyone exchanged greetings, the men and women divided into two groups and chatted lively about various gossips and interesting things.

Qin Haiyang took out a bag of Huazi, gave one to Qu Ling's husband, and raised it to Shanhe, who waved his hand in rejection.

"Brother Qin, do you smoke now too?"

"Occasionally, it's not addictive. Sometimes I smoke two cigarettes when socializing, and I smoke a few cigarettes when my thoughts are complicated and anxious!" Qin Haiyang replied.

Shanhe nodded, yes, starting a business and expanding the scope and type of business must not be easy, and there must be a lot of difficulties and competition!

"Brother Qin, I heard from my dad that you have already won the agency rights for Buick and are planning to open a 4S store next year? Act quickly!"

"It's not too fast. We still encountered some twists and turns in the middle. Uncle Qiu was very helpful this time. Otherwise, the result would be hard to say!" Qin Haiyang sighed.

"My dad can help?" Shanhe turned to look at his father, "Dad, can you still engage in business operations?"

"Don't listen to Haiyang's nonsense. I just introduced him to someone. I don't know anything else. I can do shitty business operations!" Qiu Jiang responded casually while cracking melon seeds.

Qin Haiyang smiled and added tea to Qiu Jiang and others, "Uncle Qiu, the person you introduced played a key role. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Yu!"

Shanhe looked at Yu Zhengchong with curiosity, and Yu Zhengchong smiled lightly, "He used to be the deputy director of the Project Hope Office, and later he was transferred to the Magic City Municipal Committee. He is very familiar with your father, and his transfer is closely related to your father's work. It’s not a big relationship, it’s not a favor, it’s just a fair word!”

Shanhe nodded thoughtfully, and no one continued to talk about this topic.

However, it can be seen that Qin Haiyang has become more mature after passing this hurdle. The high-spiritedness he saw in the capital last time has become deeper, and the taste of a mature man has become stronger and stronger.

"Brother Qin, is it time for you to find yourself a partner? You are almost thirty, aren't you?"

"It's not thirty, it's only twenty-seven, it's less than twenty-eight. Shanhe, you're not even twenty yet, so don't rush to get married. My mother will tell me when we meet now that I won't even be pushed by her. Dare to go home!"

Ha ha…

"If you ask me, you might as well take advantage of this time to go home and find someone who knows the basics. That would be great!" Qin's father interrupted.

"Dad, what you said is very simple. You have to get along with each other for a while to see if it's a good fit for both parties! Just pick one, and it will be even more troublesome when problems arise!"

Yu Zhengchong smiled and explained for Qin Haiyang: "Old Qin, young people today are different from ours back then. Don't be too anxious. Haiyang has been quite busy in the past two years. Just finish next year. Besides this Everything depends on fate, and you can't do it forcefully!"

"Brother Yu is right. His mother is in a hurry to hold her grandson. She used to have a hard time and couldn't think about anything. Now that the children don't have to worry about us, don't we just want to hold her grandson?" Qin's father smiled. replied.

Qin's father's words were simple and full of vicissitudes of life, which made Qin Haiyang and Shanhe feel a sigh of relief.

After a warm reception banquet, the Shanhe family began to prepare to return to their hometown.

This time I drove home by myself, so I could bring more things with me.

Qiu Jiang and his wife even took out a pen to record the list of relatives in each family, and they had to prepare to buy all the new year's goods that were not available in their hometown.

It took two days of busy work before the final preparations were made.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the family drove a commercial vehicle to meet Qin Haiyang.
