Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

In late April 2003, six designated hospitals were established in Beijing to treat SARS patients.

On May 1, after more than 4,000 builders worked hard day and night for seven days and seven nights, the country's largest infectious disease hospital, covering an area of ​​more than 120 acres, a total construction area of ​​25,000 square meters, and thousands of beds, was officially completed.

Xiaotangshan Hospital in Beijing began to officially accept SARS patients.

The epidemic prevention work in Beijing has entered the comprehensive prevention and control stage.

Beijing Film Academy has also resumed normal teaching work. Except that the campus remains closed, teachers and students have basically returned to their pre-epidemic living conditions.

The excitement of becoming famous gradually faded away in Dormitory 201, and they began their own studies and crew preparations.

The filming of the second season of "If National Treasure Could Talk" will be divided into five groups.

Each filming team produces ten episodes of content, and has already started preparations for selecting materials, shooting budget, copywriting, and shooting plans.

201, who was quarantined at school, was even busier than before. Except for Shanhe, the other five people were almost in different places every day, preparing for filming with their team members.

Shanhe started revising the draft of "Cliff".

On May 15, 2003, the first batch of seven patients from Xiaotangshan SARS designated hospital recovered and were discharged.

On May 19, the number of new confirmed SARS cases reported in Beijing dropped to single digits for the first time, with a total of seven cases.

On the 21st, Ditan Hospital in Beijing sent away its 100th SARS patient.

Starting from May 22, 2003, 80,000 third-year high school students in Beijing began to return to school to review before exams. Primary and secondary students in other grades will also resume classes in phases, batches, and regions.

On May 29, 2003, the number of new confirmed cases of SARS admitted to Beijing was zero for the first time.

On International Children's Day, Shanhe finally left the Beiying campus and boarded a flight to Shanghai.

His relatives had been worried for more than a month. Shanhe wanted to go back to reunite with his family for a few days. June Day was Qiu Chuxi's birthday and he didn't want to miss it, so as soon as the campus was unblocked, he hurried back to the Magic City.

Shanhe returned to his home in Magic City after being picked up by his whole family. Holding his sister in one hand and the excited Doudou in the other, Shanhe stepped into the small western-style building in Magic City.

More than a month of epidemic has brought more emotions and memories to this gathering.

Looking back on the whole experience and looking at the happy family members, Shanhe felt as if he was in another world.

Throughout the afternoon, Shanhe was pestered by his sister to go shopping for gifts and cakes for her. Looking at Qiu Chuxi's happy smile, Shanhe was also happy.

Celebrating a birthday on June 1st is indeed a double joy. I hope she can still be as happy as she is now in a few decades. It would also be nice to always be able to spend the holidays with her children!

After a happy birthday dinner, Qiu Chuxi wore a paper princess tiara and excitedly opened gifts on the sofa with Doudou.

Shanhe helped his mother and mistress clean up the dishes, while Qiu Jiang and Yu Zhengchong sat in front of the coffee table and started their daily routine of making tea, watching the news, and making comments from time to time.

After sorting out the leftovers, the family chatted around the coffee table.

Yu Zhengchong poured a cup of tea for Shanhe and asked casually: "Xiaohe, you will be a junior soon. Do you have any specific plans for your major?"

"The junior year courses will be much less, and practical classes will take up more than half. I'll see if I can join Ning Hao's crew and participate in the entire film production process. I guess I won't spend too much time in school!" Shanhe replied.

"Didn't Ning Hao just come back from the grassland? There's a new movie?" Xie Meiyu asked curiously.

"Has Ning Hao returned to the capital? I don't know!" Shanhe asked. He hadn't paid much attention to the company's affairs recently.

"I'm back. I came back a few days ago. I heard your Aunt Qu talk about it. Xiaohe, I'm very curious. What theme will your first movie be about? Is it an adaptation of your own novel?" Xie Meiyu asked .

Shanhe took a sip of tea and thought for a moment, "I should choose an easier subject. Youth campus would be good, and "Bottom Hot Girl" would be good. I've always wanted to put it on the big screen!"

"Youth campus movie? No one in China is filming this subject now!" Xie Meiyu responded.

"This subject matter is quite good. There are few characters, few scenes, and it has a nostalgic meaning. It is also a little inspirational. It is much simpler than other movie themes. It is suitable for novices to shoot. There will definitely be many people shooting similar movies in the future!" Shanhe laughed. said.

"What Xiaohe said makes sense!"

"Young people probably like this kind of movies!"

"You don't plan to continue filming that documentary?" Qiu Jiang asked.

"Let's shoot! The second season of "If National Treasure Could Talk" is almost ready, but this time I won't join in the filming myself. I plan to let my classmates and teachers do the filming. The five filming teams have basically been formed, and we will start filming in the summer. We will start shooting, and finally put it all together for me, and then edit and produce it to form the final film!" Shanhe replied.

"That's it! Didn't the company also cooperate with CCTV on two documentaries? Are they finished now?"

"It is estimated to be soon. The impact of the epidemic is not small, and the progress is a little slower than planned!"

The family chatted about Shanhe's plans and the company's projects.

"I heard from your Aunt Qu that Zhong Lifeng has already started preparing to adapt "Cliff", and the screenwriters from the Beijing branch are already writing TV scripts. Do you know about this?" Xie Meiyu asked.

"I know something!" Shanhe nodded and replied, "Sister Zhong is very capable and very fast in execution. She is already choosing a director for "Cliff" and it is expected that the project will start filming soon!"

"That's very fast. The novel hasn't even been released yet! By the way, Xiaohe, you have to go to the company in the next two days. Your Aunt Qu will go to Hollywood in a few days. "Pirates of the Caribbean" has already started After the preliminary publicity, she asked you to go to the company to talk to her!" Xie Meiyu responded.

"I know! I'll go to the company tomorrow!"

The next day, Shanhe met Qu Ling, whom he had not seen for several months, in the office of the general manager of Chuhe Group.

Shanhe gave Qu Ling a long-lost hug and greeted jokingly: "Aunt Qu, you are getting younger and younger. You look like a white-collar beauty at first glance!"

"Haha..." Qu Ling pointed at Shanhe and responded with a smile, "Your mother is right. The older you brother and sister are, the better you are at sweet-talking and making people happy!"

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Come on, I won't bullshit you anymore!" Qu Ling poured a glass of water for Shan He, "You came just in time, the manuscript of "Cliff" has been finalized, the printing factory has started making plates, and the preliminary publicity of Bu Ya Publishing House has begun. It will premiere around the 24th of March. This time I want to increase publicity on the Internet, and you have to cooperate!"

"How do you want me to cooperate?" Shanhe asked.

"I want to shoot an interview video for you, put it online, and then make the spy war theme popular in major forums and chat rooms!" Qu Ling replied with a smile.

"Okay!" Shanhe thought for a while and replied, "Aunt Qu, you can put some deeds of underground party heroes online. Some people will be interested, and future generations should also know about their achievements!"

"It makes sense!" Qu Ling nodded and responded, "The film and television adaptation of "Cliff" is progressing at a very fast pace. Zhong Lifeng has asked Guan Hu, the director of "Black Hole", to collaborate. Do you have any opinions?"

"Guan Hu?" Shanhe frowned and thought for a while.

"What! Are you not satisfied?" Qu Ling asked, "The filming of "Black Hole" was good! The audience responded very well, and the media also praised it."

"No, I'm just a little strange. Why did Sister Zhong find Guan Hu? We have no contact with him!" Shanhe responded with a wave of his hand.

"I know about this!" Qu Ling replied with a smile, "Zhong Lifeng wants Chen Daoming to play Zhou Yi or Gao Bin in "The Cliff", so show him your novel manuscript! Chen Daoming is very satisfied with it. , knowing that Zhong Lifang was choosing a director to work with, he introduced Guan Hu to her!"

"That's what happened!" Shanhe said with a smile, "If Chen Daoming can play Gao Bin, it would be very suitable. The villain in "Black Hole" played the role very well!"

"He seems to be very interested in the role of Gao Bin, but an actor like him will not fix his image on a villain. He probably still has to play Zhou Yi, but he introduced Li Xuejian to play Gao Bin." Qu Ling responded.

Shanhe was surprised, "Li Xuejian plays Gao Bin! This is a good idea. Is this the first time Mr. Li has challenged a villain?"

"Are you also very optimistic about Li Xuejian's role as Gao Bin? I still have some doubts. Will Li Xuejian's role as Gao Bin make the audience dizzy? After all, his image is too familiar to the public. Whenever I see him, I think of Song Jiang!" Qu Ling said with some worry.

"I think this is a good publicity point. Everyone would like to see Mr. Li play the role of a traitor. With his acting skills and professional ethics, Gao Bin can play the role perfectly!" Shanhe took a sip of water and said.

"What you say makes sense. "Cliff" is really a good script. The three main characters are all very charming, so the requirements for actors will naturally be much higher. Zhong Lifeng, who plays Gu Qiuyan, chose Jiang Wenli. What do you think? Like?" Qu Ling then asked.

"Jiang Wenli!" Shanhe thought for a while and replied, "It's a good choice. Jiang Wenli's acting skills are very good. The one that impressed me the most was Xiaodouzi's mother in "Farewell My Concubine", who played a low-class and helpless prostitute to perfection. , the character is vividly expressed in just two minutes of footage, and can even make people imagine her life. I agree with her performance as Gu Qiuyan!"

"That's enough. We won't interfere with the other supporting roles. Zhong Lifeng and the others will decide. The project of "Cliff" is waiting for the script adaptation to be completed!" Qu Ling said with a smile.

"It's so fast! It's estimated that the book "Cliff" has only been on the shelves for a few months, and the TV series has already started airing!" Shanhe sighed.

"That's great. The two can promote each other and achieve each other's achievements!" Qu Ling clapped her hands and said proudly, "Am I right about Zhong Lifeng? When I met her, I knew she was a strong woman with means and ambition!"

Shanhe gave Qu Ling a thumbs up, "Aunt Qu is indeed a discerning eye. You were the one who fished me out in the first place!"

"Haha... You don't count. Without me, you would have to soar to the sky. But you have always been my pride. I think being able to watch you become better and better step by step should be the greatest achievement in my life!" Qu Ling sighed with a smile.

Shanhe nodded, looked at Qu Ling and responded: "I will work hard!"

Qu Ling patted Shan He's arm happily, "I know you have been working hard, and we are all proud of you! Let's not talk about this anymore, are you really not going to go to the promotion and premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" this time?"

Shanhe shook his head and replied: "No, it doesn't mean much if I go. I have full confidence in "Pirates of the Caribbean", so there should be no surprises!"

Qu Ling looked at Shan He and said, "How are you and Anne Hathaway? This is the first time I have seen a young couple like you. When young people fall in love, they want to be together every day. But you guys don't see each other even once every half a year. Come on, what kind of love is this?"

Shanhe smiled with a bit of embarrassment, "Let nature take its course. Annie is an actor, and I also have my own career. Career determines how we get along!"

Qu Ling nodded, "You can take care of it yourself, just don't hurt yourself!"

At the same time, on the other side of the Pacific in Hollywood, Anne Hathaway and Bruckheimer were also talking about mountains and rivers.

The promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" has begun, and the creative staff's schedule is packed.

At this time, the crew was being interviewed by NBC's "Film and TV Show".

The reporter mentioned the birth process of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and asked producer Bruckheimer: "I heard that this script is Hua Guoqiu's first fantasy script. How did you come up with the idea of ​​making a pirate-themed film? Jerry, you know, pirates are almost taboo in Hollywood!"

"Lucas, do you know what genius is? Genius is the ability to break conventions and create miracles. When I first saw the script Qiu gave me, I knew that "Pirates of the Caribbean" would break the taboo on the pirate theme. The whole story It's so attractive, especially Jack Sparrow, the pirate captain, who will bring you a subversive feeling. I guarantee that this character will be recorded in the history of Hollywood!" Bruckheimer replied confidently.

"Wow! Jerry, your confidence really surprises me! Look at the title, this movie is just the beginning of a series, right?"

"Yes, Qiu has the overall concept of a trilogy. Disney is very optimistic about this series. We have signed contracts with the main actors for the next film, and we are waiting for the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean"!"

"Okay! It seems that you are very confident. I hope you can achieve your wish!" The host then turned to Anne Hathaway, "I want to ask Anne the next question. Anne, it is said that your character in the film is Qiu Qiu. You are designated to perform, right? Can you talk about Hua Guoqiu in your eyes? He is your boyfriend. To be honest, to me, he is quite mysterious!"

Anne Hathaway smiled at the camera and replied calmly: "The role of Elizabeth Swann was imagined by Yau based on my image. It is naturally perfect for me to play the role. Speaking of Yau's words, I am very happy." I'm lucky to know such a talented writer. I still don't believe that he can achieve such incredible achievements at this age. He is usually a very reserved and charming man. His maturity far exceeds his age. Unlike us M people who pursue freedom, he believes more in the traditions of China. The thousands of years of Chinese culture have brought him endless inspiration and restrained charm. I admire him very much!"

"Okay! Annie, are you talking to Hua Guoqiu? I'm very curious about how you get along. One is a Hollywood star in country M, and the other is a world-renowned novelist, but you still insist on staying in the country. As a college student in Huaguo University, this kind of love is too strange, don’t you need to kiss and touch me?”

Anne Hathaway still smiled calmly in front of the camera, "Qiu attaches great importance to his student career. He thinks it is a valuable life experience. His material requirements are not too high, but his spiritual requirements are A lot. This is the tradition of Chinese literati. If you love someone, you have to accept everything about him. I like this unusual way of love. Chinese people express love very implicitly. They don’t like to be too direct. Or too enthusiastic, which is quite different from us M people. I enjoy this special feeling now. An ancient Chinese poet expressed this feeling in verse. If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can they be in court? Morning and evening!"

"A very beautiful poem. Is this the translation made by Shanhe for you? I seem to understand it! Hua Guoqiu is indeed very special. He seems to dislike participating in promotional interviews. He is very different from the Hollywood big shots in my impression. Jack Rui, have you ever communicated with him about this topic?"

Bruckheimer replied with a bit of helplessness: "Of course, our cooperation has lasted for so long. I know his personality very well. He really doesn't like to promote himself in a high-profile manner. This is somewhat contrary to our Hollywood style. , every time our film is released, I want him to come to Hollywood to taste the fruits of success and victory, but he refuses. I asked him the reason. Chinese literati pay attention to state of mind and realm. He feels that Hollywood’s feasting and entertainment Drinking and drinking together is not suitable for his state of mind and practice. I don’t quite understand it. The culture of China is too profound. I stayed there for two months and it was very shocking!”

"Wow! State of mind, realm? Is this similar to Buddhist meditation? It's so cool! It seems I have to go to China to see it too!"

The topic about mountains and rivers ended here, and the interview soon came to an end.

After walking out of the studio, Bruckheimer looked at Anne Hathaway and asked, "Anne, have you been in contact with Qiu recently?"

"The epidemic broke out in China last month and he was quarantined in school. We have had several phone calls. Are you okay?" Annie replied.

"I called him two days ago. The situation in China's capital has begun to improve. I wanted him to come to Los Angeles for the premiere, but he refused again. Anne, do you have any idea?" Bruckheimer asked. road.

Anne Hathaway was silent for a while, "Mr. Bruckheimer, between me and Qiu, I love him more than he loves me. It's hard for me to influence his decision, but I will try!"

Bruckheimer looked at Anne Hathaway, who was a little resentful, and nodded, "OK, then you try it!"

After Shanhe reunited with his family in the magical capital for a few days, he returned to the courtyard in the capital.

On the day he arrived in the capital, a video interview with Shanhe appeared on major forums and portals on the Internet.

The title is "My Date with the Unsung Hero—The Creation of Shan He Tan's New Book "Cliff"". At the same time, some unknown heroic deeds on the unknown front are also slowly spreading on the forum.

The news that Shanhe's new book is about to be released suddenly aroused the curiosity of book fans and melon-eaters.

What Shanhe writes this time is actually about spy wars. The subject matter spans too much!

Previously, all of Shanhe's novels were based on realistic themes, including "Parasite", which also dealt with the real life in Country M.

Suddenly he was asked to describe the spy war behind enemy lines during the Anti-Japanese War. Can he keep it under control?

With questions and curiosity, netizens clicked on the link to this video one after another.

The whole video is very simple. From the beginning to the end, only Shanhe is answering. The person asking the question on the opposite side only has questions, but no picture.

The length is only seven or eight minutes.

The questioner's question answered the question for everyone.

"Shanhe, your subject matter this time spans a bit too much. From real life to underground struggle behind enemy lines, is there any special reason?"

"The initial idea for "Cliff" came from chatting with friends, but the real decision and shape came from a visit. That visit shocked me, and I decided to write about their lives and battles to let everyone know There used to be a group of such ancestors who made such sacrifices for the motherland and for us! The heroes on the unknown front may be nameless, but they cannot be forgotten!"

"Can you tell us about this visit?"

"I cannot disclose the content of the interview without the consent of the person involved, but I can tell you the name of this hero. His name is Yuan Shu. If you are interested, you can find out for yourself!"

…

"I am fortunate to have read the book "Cliff". It is very shocking and educational. These unknown heroes really should not be forgotten! Mountains and rivers, the whole book, what impressed me most is the heavy snowfall, every time Heavy snow will bring different changes, how did you consider this unique preset scene in your creation?"

"Heavy snow leaves no trace, but it can cover everything and the sky. The background of this novel is in Northeast China in the 1930s and 1940s. Snow was the best contemporary phenomenon at that time. At the same time, I also want to create a sense of depression for everyone. The atmosphere allows everyone to experience the life and spirit of the participating characters in this atmosphere!"

…

"I heard that there are plans to adapt "Cliff" into a TV series. Is the information I got accurate?"

"Yes, I have transferred the adaptation rights of "Cliff" to Chuhe Film and Television. They are already preparing for the filming. If nothing happens, we should meet you within a year!"

"Is the TV series already in preparation before the original book is on the shelves? When will "Cliff" meet book fans?"

"The publisher has set a date around June 24th!"

"Will you hold an on-site book signing event this time? Book fans are looking forward to face-to-face communication with you."

"This has not been decided yet. I will try my best to coordinate and meet the requirements of book fans!"

The entire video is not long, but it is still very rich in content. Through the video, you can basically understand the process of Shanhe's creation of "Cliff" and resolve the public's doubts and curiosity.

As the video continues to be clicked, "Cliff" and Yuan Shu gradually become hot spots on the Internet.

Various posts arranged by Qu Ling have successfully become popular, and the heroic deeds on the unknown front have become known to more and more netizens, triggering admiration and discussion.

"The Three Heroes of Longtan, I know this. I have watched their documentaries. They are considered the most famous underground party in China!"

"This Yuan Shu's experience is so amazing! No novel would dare to write it like this, it's so legendary! How did he do it? The key is that he can still return with his life saved, my God!"

"I know Li Bai. The protagonist in "The Eternal Wave" is the prototype of him. He was a firm believer. Unfortunately, he died on the eve of victory!"

"Guan Lu is also an underground party? Isn't she one of the four most talented women of the Republic of China along with Zhang Ailing? She is actually an agent sent by China to No. 76. It's incredible!"

…

"Underground work is so cruel. After reading these materials, I feel chills all over my body. These people are indeed heroes. This kind of dedication requires strong spiritual strength. Shanhe is right. They can be nameless, but they cannot be forgotten! Remember the martyrs!”

"I can't imagine it. If I put myself in his shoes, I probably wouldn't be able to stay there for a day. Great spirit and great personality!"

…

Various tap posts began to circulate on the Internet.

At the same time, reality propaganda also began.

Shanhe's video and the heated discussion on the Internet were also brought to the print media.

Various media have reported on Shanhe's new book to varying degrees, and some media have focused on netizens' heated discussions and admiration for the unknown frontline hero.

Shanhe's new book "Cliff" is a spy-themed novel, and the news spread quickly.

Qu Ling's promotional methods are becoming more and more mature, and "Cliff" was promoted to a high level within a week!

At the same time, good news continues to spread about the epidemic in Beijing.

On June 2, there were three "zero breakthroughs" in the SARS epidemic in Beijing: the number of newly admitted confirmed cases, suspected cases converted to confirmed cases, and deaths from SARS cases were all zero.

On the 7th, more than 80,000 candidates in Beijing took the "extraordinary" college entrance examination. BJ began to resume the opening of some indoor sports venues to the public.

The situation in Beijing is getting better and better. Although the flow of people on the streets has not returned to its original bustle, and everyone is still wearing thick masks, the dark clouds hanging over the capital have begun to gradually dissipate, and people's lives have gradually begun to return. daily.

What makes Dormitory 201 most happy is that the People's Hospital has ended the entire epidemic work and reopened to the public. The aunt in Silkworm Chrysalis has ended her work and life in the isolation area and returned home safely.

But many medical staff did not last until this moment.

During SARS, nearly a hundred medical staff sacrificed their lives in their posts in Beijing alone.

Accounting for more than one-third of the deaths! These people have sacrificed their lives for their professional oath and deserve our respect and remembrance!

On June 24, the World Health Organization announced that it would revoke its travel warning for Beijing and remove Beijing from the list of SARS-affected areas.

The epidemic in Beijing has officially been declared over.

On the same day, Shanhe's new book "Cliff" was put on sale in major bookstores.
