Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 204 Chapter 204: The meaning of life (seven thousand words)

Li Yang quickly negotiated the terms of cooperation with Zhong Lifeng. Chuhe Film and Television invested two million. "Blind Well" was produced and distributed by Chuhe Film and Television, benefiting 60%. The film copyright belongs to Chuhe Film and Television.

Zhong Lifeng started her first career as a film producer.

The energy of Chuhe Film and Television is naturally not comparable to that of Li Yang.

After the filming preparations for "The Blind Shaft" were taken over by Chuhe Film and Television, the progress accelerated rapidly. Li Yang's originally thin crew was also enriched. Chuhe Film and Television Production Department joined the overall shooting plan of "The Blind Shaft".

After reaching cooperation with Li Yang, Shanhe also called Han Shanping to consult about the script review process of "Blind Shaft", and Han Shanping gave suggestions and methods.

According to Han Shanping's suggestion, some sensitive content was deleted from the script of "The Blind Shaft" that was submitted for review, and even an ending in which the criminals were arrested was added.

The script for "The Blind Shaft" passed script review within days.

"The Blind Shaft" will be edited into two different versions, the director's version and the domestic version. Li Yang will no longer be punished by the domestic film bureau for bringing the director's version of "The Blind Shaft" to the exhibition.

Li Yang's various anxieties were solved by Chuhe Film and Television, and he confidently took the crew to SX to start the filming schedule.

On the bus to SX, Li Yang and Wang Baoqiang sat together and talked about mountains and rivers.

"I heard that Shanhe has been chatting with you for a while?" Li Yang asked Wang Baoqiang relaxedly.

Wang Baoqiang grinned his iconic big mouth and replied with a silly smile: "Director, you know it too! I didn't know Shanhe's identity at the time. I thought he was an actor you brought to film like me. He is so nice. Such a big man speaks very calmly!"

"He is indeed a nice person. He is not arrogant and treats others sincerely. I think you were too ignorant before! You don't even know the mountains and rivers!" Li Yang responded with a smile.

"Director, I used to be busy looking for work. I could hardly support myself. How could I care about others? If you don't believe me, just ask how many of the extras know Shanhe!" Wang Baoqiang replied honestly.

"That's true!" Li Yang nodded, "What did you and Shanhe talk about? I'm really curious, you two are so different!"

"I didn't say anything, I just said a few words casually, but Shanhe said that I should act well. This opportunity only comes once in my life. He also said that if the performance is good, he will introduce me to other roles." Wang Baoqiang replied with a grin.

Li Yang looked carefully at Wang Baoqiang's honest and silly face, "You are really a lucky star. If you can rely on Chuhe Film and Television, you will not have to worry about having no work in the future. Shanhe is right, you have to work hard this time. The opportunity is right in front of you!”

Wang Baoqiang nodded firmly and responded: "Don't worry, director, I understand, but what is our movie about? You didn't tell me anything!"

"You don't need to know, just do as I say. Remember, don't think that you are acting, just follow your normal feelings. I will explain the specific scenes to you clearly before filming. Now you know that the plot will affect Your thinking!" Li Yang explained to Wang Baoqiang.

"Ah?" Wang Baoqiang looked confused and looked at Li Yang in confusion. Is this reliable?

"Look, this is the state, Baoqiang, you use this state, this is the best performance!" Li Yang praised with satisfaction.

Wang Baoqiang was even more confused. Is this director a fool?

Shanhe didn't know about the chat between the two. He was immersed in the vicissitudes of the novel.

"Cliff" has reached its final stage, and the Japanese invaders have reached the end of their rope. They will become even crazier and more desperate.

The darkness before dawn is the most terrifying, and Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan have been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

At this time, Zhou Yi has two families in his heart that he cannot let go of. He has made the final determination that even if he sacrifices himself, he must keep his two children alive. They should have a bright and broad future!

Shanhe is ready to end the whole story in a heavy snow.

The snow in Northeast China runs through the entire book. The heavy snow leaves no trace, but it easily leaves marks and disappears without a trace after melting. However, it reincarnates year after year and is indispensable!

The writing plan for "Cliff" is much slower than Shanhe expected, and the release plan is estimated to be in the second half of the year.

April is approaching, and SARS has begun to break out in the southern provinces, but at this time the epidemic did not attract everyone's attention.

Shanhe is very entangled, but unfortunately he can't do anything. Individuals are still too small in the times. How can a mantis' arm stop the car!

April 2003, a helpless year is coming!

"What's wrong with online novels! Don't look down on online novels. Some of them are no worse than you, a great talent in the literature department!"

"This fast-food way of entertainment is not even literature. After reading it, you forget there is anything to discuss!"

"Jing Ming, what you said is too extreme. Online novels vary in quality, but there are also excellent ones. This one, "Zhu Xian", is quite good. The writing and plot are very attractive, but waiting for the update is a bit annoying!"

""Zhu Xian" is well written, and the heroine is particularly brilliant. Baguio writes it very well. I like it! The introduction of Silkworm Chrysalis this time is not blinding, and it is better than the last book "Ethereal Journey" many!"

"The imagination of "Ethereal Journey" is very rich, but the writing is too rough. It's okay at first glance, but it's a bit eye-catching when you look closely!"

"Baguio has been written to death. The heroine is obviously Lu Xueqi, okay? She is unparalleled in beauty and talented, just like the routine of a martial arts novel!"

The roommates' argument woke up Shanhe who was deep in thought, and their conversation attracted Shanhe.

Is "Zhu Xian" out now? This book left a very deep impression on Shan He, and he himself was addicted to it. The writing is indeed excellent, especially the female characters and the relationship between men and women!

Baguio and Lu Xueqi are definitely the two most popular female characters in later generations.

"Zhu Xian" is a big IP for later generations, and various adaptations can be seen in comics, games, film and television dramas.

Shanhe came to Silkworm Chrysalis' computer and looked at the website on the screen!

"Boss, have you read online novels?" Silkworm Chrysalis saw Shan He approaching and asked.

"Why can't I read it? I even wrote it!" Shanhe replied casually, staring at the computer screen.

"What? Boss, do you also write online novels? Why didn't I know?" Chen Zhiyong asked in confusion.

"Silkworm Chrysalis, are you a fool? Shanhe was talking about "Bottom Hot Girl". He had serialized it on the Internet at that time, and I even followed it!"

"That's right, "Bottom Hot Girl" is also considered an online novel! Boss, it turns out that you are the originator of online novels. I'm so disrespectful!"

"Shanhe's "Bottom Hot Girl" is not an online novel at all. It was just published on the Internet first. The writing style and meaning are completely different!"

"You can't say that. "Bottom Hot Girl" does have some characteristics of online novels, novelty and passion! Jingming, are you so disgusted with online novels?" Shanhe asked, looking at the dismissive Chen Jingming.

"It's not that I'm disgusted, I just feel that online novels are a bit too random and rough. Literature has been dragged down to a very low level by the Internet!"

Shanhe smiled after hearing this, "The pace of the Internet is very fast. Literary works in the general sense will not have a big market on the Internet. Only works will be produced if there is demand. Internet novels are very suitable for fast-paced browsing. Literature is not the Internet Readers’ first priority is to read and feel comfortable! This book "Zhu Xian" is good!"

"Boss, you haven't really seen "Zhu Xian", have you? You are a benchmark figure in the Chinese literary world! Now many writers are criticizing online novels!" Silkworm Chrysalis shouted.

Shan He flipped the page and replied without looking back: "What a benchmark! Of course I have read "Zhu Xian", and I am still a member of the Xue Qi Party. Online novels are well written, and their influence is no worse than published books! Silkworm chrysalis, you are all Are you reading online novels on this website?"

"Jing Ming, look at it, even the big guys read online novels, but you are so pretentious! What's wrong with being low-level? What's the difference between entertainment and entertainment?" Chen Zhiyong smiled and hit back at Chen Jingming.

"Have you ever heard of Qidian?" Shanhe asked.

"Starting point? I haven't seen it! Let me check it for you!" Silkworm Chrysalis searched for it. "It really does exist. Boss, look, it was just established last year. The page is pretty good!"

Shan He looked at Qidian's home page thoughtfully and said to Chen Jingming: "It is reasonable to exist. Don't always follow the tricks of those high-flying people and low-level people. The right choice is to keep pace with the times. The network will develop." The industry is getting faster and faster, and the threshold for writers will be lower and lower. This is the choice of the public. On the other hand, it is also good for the promotion of literature. The larger the base, the more requests!"

Shanhe's words made several people think for a while.

"Shanhe still has a broad vision. I agree with his point of view. Internet novels should become popular. In fact, this book "Zhu Xian" is very suitable for adapting film and television dramas! It's just that our current technology is a bit inferior, otherwise it would be a very good subject , what is it called, cultivating immortals?" Bai Yuxia said.

"Xianxia type!" Shanhe added.

"Immortal knight type, yes, this name is appropriate, even if you are a cultivator, you are also a knight!"

"Okay, what Shanhe said makes sense, let me take a look too!"

After Shanhe flipped through a few pages, he picked up his phone and walked out of the dormitory.

He dialed Qu Ling's phone number.

"Hey! Aunt Qu?"

"Xiaohe, when you called me right now, did you say that the first draft of "Cliff" was completed?"

"Well, "Cliff" will take some time. My progress is a little slower than expected. I called you because of another matter."

"Oh, don't be in a hurry. Please write more slowly. Slow work will lead to careful work! If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"Aunt Qu, have you ever followed online novels?"

"Online novel? You followed "Bottom Hot Girl" for a while when it was serialized on the Internet, but you haven't paid attention to it for a long time. What's wrong? You don't want to serialize it on the Internet again, do you?"

"No, "Cliff" is not suitable for online serialization. I want to say that online novels are developing very fast. If you look online, online novel websites are already dotted all over. I feel that it will develop faster and faster. We can advance Layout, this is a big cake!”

"Really? I have heard some things in this regard. Many writers don't think highly of online novels. I will ask people from the investment department to investigate the situation you mentioned. After the investigation report comes out, we will discuss it again!"

"This is best. You should pay more attention to a website called Qidian. It was only established last year. I am very optimistic about it. If there is a chance, we must invest in it!"

"I will explain! By the way, the schedule of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been set. In mid-July, Bruckheimer and Robert Egger won, and "The Last Day" was pushed to November!"

"That's good news! The post-production special effects of "Pirates of the Caribbean" have been completed. Has the finished film been released?"

"The special effects production has been completed, and there is still a little work to do in post-production. It will definitely be released in July! Over here in China, please say hello to China Film and see if the schedule can be arranged as soon as possible?"

"Aunt Qu, I can't interfere with the domestic distribution. Let's just do it as normal. Mr. Han will take care of what we should take care of!"

"Okay! You are right, after all, it is a project controlled by Disney. I will take care of what you tell me! Is there anything else?"

"No, once the first draft of "Cliff" is finished, I will send it to your email!"

"Okay, I'm hanging up!"

"goodbye!"

The IP industry in later generations is extremely prosperous. A big IP is equivalent to an industry. Since Shanhe is aware of it, it will naturally not let this layout go. The best choice is to adapt to the times!

On April 1, 2003, Zhou Yi in "The Cliff" calmly walked to the execution ground. It was exactly the same as what he had imagined in his mind for ten years. Gao Bin accompanied him through the last part of his life like an old friend.

This person who was about to flee the country knew very well that as an agent, although Zhou Yi was about to end his life, he was still a winner. He managed to save his life, but he was a complete loser.

Gao Bin does not hate Zhou Yi, but rather envies him. An agent can die after completing his mission, just like a general dying on the battlefield on the eve of victory. This is the most perfect ending.

Zhou Yi was thinking of the two most important women in his life at this time. He was worthy of Gu Qiuyan, but he was ashamed of his wife Sun Yuejian. His wife might hate him!

It is also an honor to die on the eve of victory. He died calmly, and he had an explanation for his country, his ancestors and his descendants. With a trace of guilt for his wife and children, he accepted his fate and ending. Everyone is destined to die, and we just want to die well!

Bye now! My Homeland!

With red eyes, Shanhe wrote the ending of "Cliff" with a stroke as heavy as Mount Tai.

At the same time, an interesting soul fell like a feather from the 24th floor of the Mandarin Hotel, Hong Kong!

On this day, Shanhe saw two completely different kinds of death.

News of Leslie Cheung's death spread on the Internet that day, but today happens to be April Fool's Day in the West, so most people thought it was a prank in the media or on the Internet.

All Shan He saw on news message boards were ridicules and curses.

Shanhe is not a fan of Leslie Cheung, but he has watched many of his movies. The one that impressed me the most was "Farewell My Concubine". He did perform Cheng Dieyi brilliantly. The overlap between him and this role is so high!

In addition, I have also watched some of his reports and variety shows. He is an interesting person who has been going back and forth between persistence and escape!

He dared to announce his abnormal sexual orientation loudly at a concert in the 1990s. He had courage that is difficult to match. However, he was defeated by the rumors in Hong Kong and the industry. It is a tragedy for a literary genius!

He was abandoned by Hong Kong Island and his circle!

Shanhe is lamenting the impermanence of life. Some people die so calmly, while others give up helplessly!

The ringing of his cell phone startled him out of his thoughts.

Shanhe picked up the phone and looked at Jiang Wen's phone number, "Hey, Director Jiang, why are you free to call me now?"

Jiang Wen's voice on the phone was a little low, "Shanhe, are you at home right now?"

"Yes! You want to come over?"

"Lao Ma and I will go sit at your place. Do you know about Leslie Cheung?"

"just saw!"

"What the hell, Lao Ma and I have a good relationship with him. Hey! How could something like this happen? We'll talk about it later!"

"Okay, come on over!"

Shanhe hung up the phone and stayed for a while!

The connection between people is really wonderful. I thought that this matter would have nothing to do with me, but I didn't expect that two of my best friends in the capital would have an intersection with Leslie Cheung.

Half an hour later, Shanhe opened the door to two people with two jars of wine.

"We both feel a little aggrieved. We don't know where to go for a moment. Nowhere is suitable. You are the only one who is so clean here!" Ma Weidu said in a deep voice while carrying the wine jar.

"I still can't believe him. Last month he called me and said he wanted to be a director and asked me to help him. In a moment, he was gone!" Jiang Wenweng said in a loud voice.

Shanhe glanced at the frustrated two people, then silently walked into the main hall with them.

The three of them sat down in front of the coffee table. Shanhe stood up and took three cups, and took out a bunch of peanuts and melon seeds from the drawer.

"It's not a good day to prepare snacks and drinks, so let's make do with it!"

"That's it!" Ma Weidu poured wine for all three of them, "Old Jiang, let's toast him! We met each other, but we didn't expect that our old friend has passed away and we can't see each other off. It's so sad!"

The two of them saluted the sky and spilled their wine on the ground, and Shanhe followed suit.

"When he was chatting with me, he felt sad and said that he was the fate of being abandoned by others, starting from his parents, to relationships, and then to this messy circle. He was too affectionate and he was not suitable for entertainment. Circle!" Ma Weidu whispered.

"Hey, what should I say! The media environment on Hong Kong Island is so bad. I have already advised him, wouldn't it be a good idea to come to the mainland? People in places with bigger butts can only see so much!" Jiang Wen took a sip of wine and said.

"You put it lightly. I was born and raised in Hong Kong Island. My career, love, friends and family are all in Hong Kong Island. If you can leave, just leave. I ask you Jiang Wen to live in Hong Kong Island. Are you willing?" Ma Weidu responded. .

"Why should I go to that crappy place! What a bunch of vampires. How many media outlets does Leslie Cheung support by himself? It's okay this time, everyone should stop playing!" Jiang Wen said angrily.

Shanhe looked at the depressed two people and asked, "How do you know him and make friends with him?"

"About 1991! In order to play the role of Concubine Yu in "Farewell My Concubine", Leslie Cheung came to Beijing a few months in advance. He had to learn Mandarin and Peking Opera, otherwise he would not be able to perform. I happened to be called to help. We got to know each other. He is easy-going and simple. He is not like those who work in the entertainment industry. He just talks about anything. If you can get along with him, you will become a good friend!" Ma Weidu recalled, "Later on, every time I came to the capital, , all come to my place to sit, chat, and drink tea!"

Jiang Wen nodded, "Lao Ma is right. Leslie Cheung really doesn't look like someone from the entertainment industry. He speaks and acts very casually. Are you saying that he is bohemian? That's not right! He just has such a smell about him. He is casual but a little melancholic. I also met him on the set of "Farewell My Concubine". Brother Chen Kai asked me to audition for Duan Xiaolou. As soon as I read the script, I proposed to play Cheng Dieyi, but I was rejected. As a result, I found Leslie Cheung, and we got to know each other from time to time. Every time I go to Hong Kong Island, he will entertain me. I accept his love and recognize him as a friend. I originally said that we would make a movie together, hi!"

Shan He took a sip of wine and said: "Listen to what you said, he is too temperamental. He is somewhat similar to Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", just like that line, 'What he said is A lifetime! A year, a month, a day, an hour, it doesn’t count as a lifetime!’, you can’t live without going crazy, he has made himself crazy!”

"Who says it's not the case! How can those ordinary people understand this kind of temperament? I was at the 1997 Golden Horse Awards, and the two guests on the stage, Qin Han and Liu Ruoyin, faced the camera in front of so many people. It’s so disrespectful to tease and ridicule Leslie Cheung in public. If I had done this on the spot, I would have exploded!" Jiang Wen added.

"What he did is so shocking. The atmosphere in Hong Kong and Taiwan seems to be open, but in fact it is closed and narrow, a typical colonial mentality. Everyone is happy to read this kind of gossip, and the circle also likes such things to attract attention. His tragedy is actually It's just that they didn't realize the tragedy of Hong Kong Island as a whole. Tomorrow, the media will still consume his death without any reflection!" Shanhe said in a deep voice.

"I really don't want to see them!"

The three of them were drinking and chatting, and soon they started talking nonsense, sometimes scolding the media, and sometimes complaining about life.

Shanhe drank less and looked at the debauched appearance of the two middle-aged men, and he laughed helplessly.

After drinking until it got late, Shanhe was about to order takeout and finish dinner together. Jiang Wen stopped Shanhe and said, "I have to join the crew for filming tomorrow, let's stop here today!"

"Okay! What kind of show is this?" Shanhe asked casually.

"Heroes of Heaven and Earth! The game organized by He Ping and the money invested by Columbia Pictures made me jealous after watching Zhang Yimou's "Heroes" and wanted to take a gamble. Hey! You still have to live this fucking life!" Jiang Wen sighed with a hint of alcohol.

Shanhe is somewhat impressed by this movie. You, Director Jiang, are indeed going to have a pretty fucked up life next!

The two of them left the courtyard in a leisurely manner!

After Shanhe sent away the two middle-aged men who had vented their anger, he sorted out the mess left behind. I put aside my emotional thoughts and looked back at the first draft of "The Cliff".

The next day, media outlets of all sizes were reporting on Leslie Cheung’s tragedy.

Various headlines flood the public eye.

The public finally confirmed the death of Leslie Cheung, and many fans and fans of Leslie Cheung on the Internet began activities to commemorate the Hong Kong and Taiwan superstar.

The entire internet is filled with tributes of all kinds.

"Brother, have a good trip!"

"The wind will always blow! Brother, you will always live in our hearts!"

"You will become a legend, you are already a legend!"

In Beijing Film Academy, the entire campus is talking about this topic. Leslie Cheung is an actor and has a closer professional connection with Beijing Film Academy.

Dormitory 201 is no exception, and several people are also gossiping about the incident.

Shanhe did not join in. He was following the SARS outbreak on his computer.

He couldn't remember when large-scale quarantine began in the capital, only a vague outline.

The capital must be the hardest hit area, but we don’t know exactly when it will start!

There are some scattered rumors on the Internet, but they are all in Dongguang and Hong Kong Island.

Shanhe walked out of the Beiying campus depressedly, looking at the traffic and pedestrians on the road. This was the first time since his rebirth that he felt powerless!

He dialed his home phone number, and Qiu Chuxi answered the call.

"Hey, this is the Qiu family, who are you looking for?" Qiu Chuxi asked in the tone of an operator.

"It's me, your brother!"

"Brother, why are you calling at this time? Don't you usually call home at night?"

"It's okay! I just asked about the situation at home. Nothing happened to the devil, right?"

"No! Mom is in the kitchen. Dad went to the northwest two days ago. My teachers and grandma are all reading your new book. Brother, do you know Leslie Cheung?"

"I don't know! Why are you, a primary school student, still gossiping about this!"

"Everyone in our school is talking about this. I heard that he was more famous than Jay Chou in the past!"

"As long as it's okay! You, a primary school student, don't care about these depressing things!"

"Okay, I will be a junior high school student next year! Brother, do you want me to ask mom to answer the phone?"

"No, I'll call again tonight, just hang up!"

"oh!"

After hanging up the phone at home, Shanhe calmed down and took a taxi back to the courtyard.

Shanhe had already sent the first draft of "Cliff" to Qu Ling, and he also sent a copy to his family.

Qu Ling read the first draft of "Cliff" overnight.

Shanhe's new book is still full of pictures, and the characters' images are vivid on the page. Each character has his own life and stance.

Even though Gao Bin is a traitor, he is still a good husband in life.

Qu Ling's favorite is the heroine Gu Qiuyan.

Different from the usual positive characters, Gu Qiuyan is more like a real woman. She has a petty bourgeois sentiment, will make mistakes because she is worried about her husband, and may even sympathize with a foreign spy.

But she is still a warrior, and warriors with flaws are so real!

Qu Ling even shed tears when she saw Gu Qiuyan fall off the cliff, destroying all her identity information in order to protect Zhou Yi's identity from being leaked, holding the grenade tremblingly, ready to die with the incoming enemy at any time. tears.

This novel is inherently a good script, so suitable for adaptation into a TV series!

Qu Ling dialed Zhong Lifeng's number in Beijing.
