Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Qiu Jiang was preparing to start this year's southwest and northwest tour when he received a call from his son.

In four years, Qiu Jiang has built nearly 50 primary schools across the country, most of them in the southwest and northwest.

Each primary school was built by himself from site selection and materials to construction and completion. Qiu Jiang was full of memories and expectations for these places.

I was once an ignorant child in a poor rural area. It was teachers and knowledge that changed my destiny. My ideal is to become a teacher and a writer like Yu Zhengchong.

My ideal as a writer is realized by my son, but my ideal as a teacher has been replaced by my current job!

Qiu Jiang is very proud of what he has done!

He has regarded this as his career and pursuit. Every time he sees the children happily moving into the new school, Qiu Jiang feels an indescribable sense of fulfillment in his heart!

My son did a great job, and I’m not bad at what I did either!

Now his son is going to experience life in the northwest countryside. Qiu Jiang is very happy to hear that he can't wait to take his son to see the results of his work in the past few years and see the small changes that their father and son have brought to this country!

After putting down the phone, Qiu Jiang began to pack his luggage and bring various books and school supplies for the children. He planned to go to the capital to pick up his son and head to the northwest countryside together.

Knowing that their son was going to stay with her husband in the northwest countryside for a while, Xie Meiyu and her mistress filled the back seat of Qiu Jiang's car with all kinds of food from home.

"Qiu Jiang, you have to take good care of Xiaohe and don't let my son suffer!"

"Xiaohe is here to experience life. He has to live with the farmers in the fields. Otherwise, what's the point of going there? If you don't understand, don't give directions blindly. Do you think that going to collect the scenery is just about wandering around and taking pictures with a camera? "Qiu Jiang replied to his wife angrily.

"The wind and sand in the northwest are so strong, can the small river bear it? I don't care, Qiu Jiang, I have to accompany my son the whole time. There is no mobile phone signal in those places. What should I do if there are three long and two short? You say write a Mars Why do you still have to go to the northwest rural areas to work in the fields when you read a novel?" Xie Meiyu said with a sad face and complained.

Master Xie also said with a worried look: "Qiu Jiang, it will be difficult for Xiaohe to adapt to life in the northwest countryside all of a sudden. Don't just leave him alone in the countryside. Meiyu and I have prepared a lot of cooked food and food for you. You have to keep an eye on Xiaohe for all kinds of medicines!"

Yu Zhengchong interjected: "I said, what are you worrying about here? Xiaohe is already twenty years old and has long been a man who can handle things. I support him going to the northwest this time. He can stay at home all day and feel comfortable. What do you call a man if you can live a life of humiliation? A man has to go through the hardships of the wind and sand. How can the flower seedlings in the greenhouse be as viable as those growing naturally!"

"The teacher is right. I think so too. I guess Xiaohe will do the same thing himself. Master, Meiyu, don't worry. Xiaohe can take care of himself. I will accompany him to adapt to the local climate and environment first!" Qiu Jiang answered.

"Dad, my brother likes to eat dried fish and yogurt. I bought two boxes and put them under the passenger seat. Don't share them with others. I bought them for my brother!" Qiu Chuxi also ordered from the side.

"Haha... My daughter is so considerate. Have you prepared something special for your dad?"

"My mother took all my New Year's money away. Dad, I can't afford the tea you like. How about you ask my mother to return the New Year's money to me, and I'll buy it for you right now!"

"Don't even think about it! Look at how you look in your hometown during the Chinese New Year. If you have some money, show it off, and the whole family will belong to you. If you don't treat you, you won't be able to ruin your family in the future!"

"Mom, my brother bought a lot of things. You are partial and favor boys over girls!"

"Come on! I don't know what your brother is like, but you did a good job this time, and you know that you feel sorry for your brother. I'll give you an increase in your pocket money this month!"

"Really? How much does it go up?"

…

In the evening two days after Shanhe, I saw my father who was tired of life at the gate of the courtyard.

"Dad, why did you come so fast? I'm not in such a hurry here. You must be exhausted! Have you had dinner? Take a shower quickly and let's go out to eat!"

Qiu Jiang waved his hand and responded: "It's okay. I had a night's rest. I was stuck in a traffic jam on the road today. I had to wait for four or five hours, otherwise I would have arrived early!"

After two days of rest, Shanhe and his father Wu Liang, a veteran driver of Jiachuhe Film and Television, drove two commercial vehicles filled with supplies and headed straight to the northwest.

"Xiaohe, we are going to Suide County in Yulin this time. This is a ravine area on the Loess Plateau. There is a serious shortage of water, poverty, and children out of school. Our Chuhe Education Foundation has built three primary schools here. This time The Zaoshu Village we went to was the first school we built. It is the educational support base for the entire Hope Project in Suide. We have spent three years helping the surrounding villagers plant pomegranate and apple trees. Last year, we had the third school. With one-time income, the fellow villagers there are very supportive of us, and it is a relatively good area supported by our foundation." Qiu Jiang introduced it to his son while driving.

Shanhe nodded and asked, "How long do we have to drive to get there?"

"It's nearly a thousand kilometers, let's try to get there in two days! If you feel bored, just take a nap. That's it for long distance driving. I'm used to it. Wu Liang is following behind. He is a veteran and drove in the army. They are all big trucks, don’t worry!”

"Dad, let's not be in a hurry, drive slowly, safety first!"

The three of them had a smooth journey, and when they arrived at Suide County, it was already the evening of the next day.

The magnificent scenery of the high loess slopes on both sides cheered up the sluggish spirit of the mountains and rivers.

At this time, the setting sun was slowly setting, shining gently on the loess hills with a bit of residual snow. The orange sunshine was scattered in the earth-yellow ravines, with a few white snow stains. Everything around it looked desolate and majestic, but also So rugged and touching!

"Xiaohe, we still have to drive west for forty minutes, and we will arrive at Zaoshu Village. This road is quite easy to walk. When we built the school a few years ago, it was tidied up. It's just that the dust is bigger. Close the windows tightly. Come on!" Qiu Jiang told Shan He.

"Okay!" Shanhe rolled up the car window and said with a smile, "We're almost there, I feel my butt hurts when I sit there!"

"No way, the road here is like this. When you get off the national highway, you can't go any faster! Why are you so poor? In my opinion, this road must account for most of it!"

"If you want to be rich, build roads first! This sentence is true, take your time!"

It was getting dark before the two cars drove into Zaoshu Village Primary School.

Shanhe opened the car door and got out of the car. He stood on the small playground and looked at the three-story cement teaching building in front of him. The doors, windows and glass were somewhat damaged, but the overall condition was still very good. It could be seen that it was built not long ago.

Several teachers of different ages walked out of the one-story bungalows on both sides.

"Teacher Qiu, you are here, come in quickly, you are here earlier this year than the previous two years!" A middle-aged bronze-faced man from the northwest shouted to the three of them.

"Principal Yan, happy New Year! This year I brought my son with me!" Qiu Jiang smiled and said to the middle-aged man walking towards him, "This is my son Qiu Shanhe, and the other is Wu Liang, help us Friends who are pulling supplies!”

"Wow! It's Shanhe! Everyone, come quickly, Shanhe is coming, the great writer Shanhe is coming!" A young man on the side shouted loudly.

Shanhe was suddenly surrounded by several young teachers.

"Shanhe, I am a loyal fan of your books, and I am also influenced by you when I come to teach. Can you sign your autograph for me later?"

"Hello Shanhe, my name is Liu Zhiguo, from Beijing, and a volunteer of Project Hope. Nice to meet you!"

"My name is Xu Hongli, from Fujian Province. We are fellow villagers. I just came to Zaoshu Village and Shanhe this year. Will you also come to teach?"

…

"It's nice to meet you all. I will stay here for a while, and I will have to take more care of you in the future!" Shanhe responded with a smile to these young volunteer teachers.

"Okay, everyone, stop hanging around and let them go inside first to rest for a while. Zhiguo, hurry up and boil water and let Teacher Qiu and the others wash up. It seems like they have been driving all day!" Principal Yan greeted. .

"okay!"

Shanhe and the others walked into a bungalow. Principal Yan said from the side: "Teacher Qiu, you should stay in this room. There are fewer beds in the room. I will ask Zhiguo and the others to set it up for you later. Shanhe, the conditions here are That’s it, you three have to squeeze in, there’s only one empty room in the school!”

"Principal Yan, I'm not here for a trip. I should move to a fellow villager's house tomorrow!" Shanhe replied with a smile.

"Ah?" Principal Yan looked at Shanhe unexpectedly and asked, "You want to move to the earthen kiln. Why? Our crowded place is much more comfortable than living in the earthen kiln!"

Qiu Jiang on the side explained to Principal Yan: "He is here to experience life this time. He has to live until he can accurately describe the men in our northwest rural areas. He usually has to work in the fields with the fellow villagers!"

"Ah! How can this be done? Shanhe is a great writer. Our school was built by your father and son. In addition, the water storage well in the village and these fruit trees, which one of them is not your teacher Qiu's baby with the Hope Project? They helped to make it hand in hand. It is impossible for the fellow villagers to let your teacher Qiu’s son help them work in the fields!" Principal Yan shook his head and replied.

"Xiaohe and I are both descendants of farmers. Why can't we work in the fields? Xiaohe is much neater than me. When I went back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year, his grandfather praised him for his good farming skills!"

Principal Yan was about to reply when a voice in local dialect came from outside the room: "Yan Wazi, I heard that Teacher Qiu is here. Is he in the room?"

"The old branch secretary is here!"

When a few people came out of the house, they saw an old man wearing a leather jacket leading a dozen villagers and several children standing on the school playground.

Qiu Jiang quickly stepped forward and held the old party secretary's hand and said, "Old party secretary, why are you here? I was thinking of visiting you tomorrow. You are still so strong!"

"Why can't I come? Gouwazi is very sharp-eyed. He saw you as soon as you entered the village. When Teacher Qiu returns to our Zaoshu Village, you must drink hot mutton soup and eat white steamed buns no matter what. ! Otherwise, people from all over the country would not be able to accuse the young and old of Zaoshu Village of being ungrateful!" The old party secretary said in a loud voice, "What are you guys doing in such a daze? Hurry up and bring Teacher Qiu and the two guests here. Go to the village!"

Qiu Jiang and the other three couldn't bear the invitation of the old party secretary, so they walked out of the school and walked to the village headquarters under the leadership of several children.

"Gou baby! Have you gone to school this year? Last year, I remember you dragged your sister and insisted on going to school with her!" Qiu Jiang asked the snot baby who was pulling him with a smile.

"He's not good. He's not just a student. He's only been fresh for two days. He thinks about running to the mountain ridge after class every day." The old party secretary continued, "If you ask me, these young teachers from the city are good at everything. , If you are not fierce enough, you should be equipped with a killing stick. If you don't obey, you will be beaten. Those guys behind me were all beaten by my stick!"

"Second uncle, you still have your killing stick. Why don't you take care of the Gouwa and the others? I think you really like the Gouwa and don't think they are naughty!" a voice whispered from behind.

The old branch secretary turned around and answered: "You know nothing about a football guy. You have only heard of fathers lecturing their children. I have never heard of grandpas beating their grandchildren. Why, use a stick to beat you cowards who are willing to beat your grandchildren." ah!"

Ha ha…

Shanhe was also amused by the old party secretary's words.

When a group of people arrived at the village headquarters talking and laughing, the shabby desks at the village headquarters had been put together and filled with various local foods. When several women and children saw Qiu Jiang, they all greeted him warmly. .

"Old party secretary, the folks have spent a lot of money. The three of us can't eat so much, so let the children come and eat together!" Qiu Jiang was a little touched by the hospitality of the folks.

"You guys eat first, Teacher Qiu. In the first two years, we really couldn't come up with all this food for a while. But the past two years have been much better, thanks to the water cellar you built for the village and the food you brought. The saplings will make it easier for every household to grow, so you can eat with confidence and the children won’t be hungry!”

The three of them couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the villagers and ate the mutton steamed buns with big mouthfuls. Qiu Jiang introduced to the villagers while eating, "Dear villagers, this is my son. I came to the village this time and wanted to work in the fields with you for a while. , to train himself, you have to ask everyone to take care of him, but he has done farm work in his hometown, and he is quick to learn, so he will not cause any trouble to everyone!"

"This is Teacher Qiu's baby, no wonder he is so polite!"

"Teacher Qiu's child is here to help us with our work, so how can we do it!"

"Aren't you here to teach children like those doll teachers? You are tired from working in the fields, Teacher Qiu, you can't do this!"

…

Shanhe is not a celebrity here, he is just Qiu Jiang's son. Shanhe listened to the villagers' simple words to the two, and at this moment he was full of admiration for his father!

In the past four years, Qiu Jiang's enthusiasm has not been in vain. He has done a great job down-to-earth, and in exchange he has received something that money cannot buy. Shanhe is proud of his father!

"Okay! Stop arguing. Teacher Qiu must have a reason for asking his children to work in the fields. You guys are so noisy. Scholars in ancient times had to farm and read family heirlooms. This is training their hearts. Teacher Qiu, is that right? "The old branch secretary said with a knowing expression.

Shanhe and his father looked at each other and replied with a smile: "Uncle Party Secretary, I am a student who makes a living with a pen. This time I want to write an article about us farmers in the northwest. I have to live with everyone. I had to go to the ground to write this article, otherwise it would be just random fabrication, don’t you think so?"

"We understand when you say this, baby. We have to do our own research when planting fruit trees, let alone write articles. Don't worry, you are Teacher Qiu's baby. You will go to the fields with Xiwa tomorrow. He is the eldest baby of Erdi. The land that belongs to him in the village is well planted, and he can teach you how to farm it step by step!" the old party secretary patted his chest and agreed.

In this way, Shanhe began his life as a farmer in the northwest. On the second day after arriving in Zaoshu Village, he moved into the old kiln of the old party secretary's family, truly experiencing the work and style of farmers in the northwest!

From dawn to sunset, from fields to chatting at home, Shanhe transforms into a northwest farmer, feeling their expectations and love for the land!

It took him a week to adapt to this simple life of sunrise and sunset, and his face gradually gained a hint of the northwest wind sand!

The villagers also called him Shanhe from Teacher Qiu's baby. The old party secretary couldn't help praising Qiu Jiang that Shanhe was indeed a good man. He learned quickly and it was clear that he was born in farm work!

Seeing that his son had integrated into Zaoshu Village, Qiu Jiang left Wu Liang in Zaoshu Village just in case, and drove away from Suide.

In the next half month, the mountains and rivers completely integrated into Zaoshu Village. No matter how carefully you observe from the side, it can't compare to your own personal experience.

The poorer the village, the more troubles it has. Everyone has their own agenda. Conflicts and conflicts occur every day in the village, but every household will still take action when it is time to help each other. The experience passed down from their ancestors tells them that only by uniting can they fight against nature. Let more people survive!

This environment was so different from Shanhe's hometown in the south. Shanhe gradually understood Zhang Yimou's feelings about the farmers in the northwest, and the image of Ma Kewei gradually became fuller in his mind.

At the same time in Beijing, Chuhe Film and Television has once again detonated the TV industry after "Crazy Stone" detonated the film industry.

"Cliff" was bought out by Beijing TV Station for the first-round broadcast rights at a record-breaking price of 850,000 yuan per episode!

The first round of "Cliff" sold 38 million yuan, which not only earned back nearly 25 million yuan in production costs, but also made a profit of 13 million yuan!

This news dropped a big bomb on the entire Chinese film and television industry!

This is only the first round! The Beijing TV station dared to pay such a high price to buy out the first-round broadcast rights of "The Cliff", which shows that the TV station is full of confidence in this TV series.

If the ratings explode, how much profit will this "Cliff" bring to Chuhe Film and Television after the second and third rounds!

The success of "Crazy Stone" probably didn't make as much money as "The Cliff"!

A TV series adaptation of a well-known novel has begun. For a while, the rights to adapt the novels of well-known writers such as Mo Yan, Yu Hua, and Wang Anyi were hotly speculated, and the price seemed to have increased a lot!

In literary circles, this incident was regarded as a joke. It was said that the contribution of mountains and rivers to Chinese literature was first reflected in the stinky copper and scrap metal, and many literati made quick money!

Chuhe Film and Television did not stop its pace, and then held a press conference to start filming two TV series at the same time.

One is an adaptation of Mecca's spy novel "The Conspiracy", written by the original author Mecca himself and directed by Zhang Jiandong, a teacher in the directing department of the Film Academy and the director of "Don't Talk to Strangers". The whole play is divided into "Listen to the Wind" Actor auditions for the three chapters of "Looking at the Wind" and "Chasing the Wind" have already begun.

It is expected to invest 15 million yuan to create another high-quality spy drama after "The Cliff"!

Another one is the domestic suspense drama "Silent Witness", also written and directed by Jiang Wei, a teacher from the Directing Department of the Film School.

Jiang Wei is the screenwriter of "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Silent Witness" is his first TV series.

Beijing Film Academy is Shanhe's natal family, and the teachers in the directing department are all teachers from Shanhe. They treat Shanhe as one of their own. Chuhe Film and Television has the strength and connections with the film school. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind when teachers and professors have projects is Chuhe Film and Television!

Zhong Lifeng also knows the influence of Beiying Film and has great respect for the teachers in the directing department of Beiying Film. The two cooperations like this have the factor of Shanhe. Shanhe's down-to-earth style at Beiying has brought great success to Chuhe Film and Television. Come to rare talents and projects!

Zhong Lifeng is not stupid. She plans to cooperate deeply with the film school. She plans to completely let go of the selection of actors. Chuhe Film and Television will be responsible for ensuring logistics and TV series distribution. The control will be given to teachers from the two film schools. This is just the beginning. The resources of the film school Not to be underestimated!

Beijing TV Station boldly spent a lot of money to grab "The Cliff" from major TV stations across the country, and immediately set a broadcast date. Ten days later, it was broadcast in prime time as a new year's drama, and a publicity plan was started.

It has only been a few months since "Cliff" became a hit, but it still has a strong impression in the minds of the public. In addition, Shanhe's novels naturally have readers' bonuses. The upcoming broadcast of "Cliff" immediately attracted people in front of the TV. Attention of the general audience.

The spy war theme has a strong public base in China. "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" and "The Eternal Wave" are both classic film and television dramas. Coupled with the addition of Shanhe's original work, "The Cliff" has been around for a few days. It has become a highly anticipated series.

There are endless discussions on the Internet. Every character in the "Cliff" novel has a vivid image. Book fans and melon-eaters have extremely high expectations for the "Cliff" TV series.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Once the quality of "Cliff" is not up to par, the criticism and reputation it will bring will drown out the creative team and the TV station!

On March 3, 2004, when Shanhe was going to school on the Loess Plateau and singing Xintianyou and Qinqiang opera, "Cliff" started broadcasting on Beijing TV Station!

That night, Beijing TV Station only aired the first episode. They had full confidence in this series and planned to maximize the use of "Cliff" to increase ratings and advertising revenue.

After discussing with Chuhe Film and Television, we plan to broadcast it at the rhythm of one episode on weekdays and two episodes on weekends.

The low and majestic music appeared on the TV screen accompanied by the faces of the characters. The vast majority of qualified book fans in Shanhe locked on the Beijing TV set, and "The Cliff" began to sweep the ratings.

The forty minutes ended quickly, and all the main characters in the first episode appeared.

Gao Bin played by Li Xuejian, Zhou Yi played by Chen Daoming, and Gu Qiuyan played by Jiang Wenli brought quite a surprise to the audience in front of the TV and book fans during their meeting at the train station.

A crappy and crisis-filled joint was brilliantly performed by three people. The advantage of the TV series is that it is more intuitive and has wider coverage. All walks of life can understand the plot and scenes in the TV series!

The first episode left a deep impression on the audience in just forty minutes. This is a high-quality spy drama with a tense plot, rich characters, and real scenes. It is worth watching!

Fans of Shanhe's book are even more excited. The photo is so good, it's like a reappearance of the "Cliff" novel!

With the popularity of the Internet, book fans have expressed their feelings on forums and newly popular blogs.

"The filming of "Cliff" was great, better than I expected. The actors were chosen so well. Li Xuejian played the villain so well. He only used a few movements and eyes to make Gao Bin, the traitor, look so good. The actor Chen Dao plays Zhou Yi very charmingly, mature and cold, and Jiang Wenli is so gorgeous in a fur coat. The image of a patriotic literary young woman is so attractive!"

"This time Guan Hu made Shan He's novel look like a movie, especially the meeting scene between the three people at the station. The shots were great. The long shots started from the train entering the station until Gu Qiuyan appeared, and the short shots kept going back and forth. Switching between the three people's expressions and expressions, the atmosphere is so subtle, I'm looking forward to "Cliff" even more!"

"Ah! Why is there only one episode every day? What is Beijing TV doing? There must be at least two episodes. It's so damn uncomfortable to be stuck here. I'll call them soon and strongly request two episodes a day!"

"There are two episodes a day on weekends. The filming of "Cliff" is really exquisite this time. Even the music and the title sequence are very nice and beautiful. I like the freeze-frame of the sketch. The music is also very nice. It is deep and majestic. Please give me the name of the music. Chuhe Film and Television They can release original soundtracks in the future, I will definitely buy one!"

…

Beijing TV Station, Chuhe Film and Television, and the creative team are anxiously waiting for the ratings of the first episode.

In the office of the general manager of Chuhe Film and Television, the company's two leading ladies were chatting and waiting.

"Yang Liu, I think it's time for your agency to sign more actors. You can't always let General Heng Ha support the show. Every time I see Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, I feel curious. Shan He's vision is so unique!" Zhong Lifeng joked with a smile.

"The boss doesn't seem to pay much attention to the agency department. He always tells me to pay more attention to the people I sign and don't just wipe people's butts in the future. This time I have to sign Zeng Li from "Silent Witness". How beautiful she is. I I was moved when I saw it, but the photogenic performance was a bit poor, and Che Xiao is also pretty good, but her parents are both in the entertainment industry, so it might not be easy to work with!" Yang Liu responded with a frown.

Zhong Lifeng nodded and said: "What Shanhe said is not unreasonable, but don't listen to him too much. He has a scholarly mentality and is resistant to hype and publicity. But how can you avoid such things in the entertainment industry? Acting skills Just be passable, as long as your character is not too bad, look at how much resources we have wasted on these two TV series!"

"Okay! Don't worry, Mr. Zhong, I will speed up the signing of people!" Yang Liu responded with a smile, "Mr. Zhong, do you think the ratings of the premiere of "Cliff" can exceed ten? I saw many bosses on the Internet. Fans are talking about it.”

"The reputation is booming, but the ratings are hard to say. It's getting harder and harder to get a rating of 10. Last year, "My Fair Princess" premiered and it just broke 10. It depends on your luck, but it's definitely possible to break 5. Guangshanhe That's enough for book fans, I'm just worried that Guan Hu made "The Cliff" too deep, will the general audience be able to accept it?" Zhong Lifeng replied with worry.

"It's useless for us to worry here. The broadcast rights have been sold. Just wait!" Yang Liu changed the topic and said, "I don't know how the boss is doing on the Loess Plateau? I really admire him. , such a great writer said he should become a farmer. Two days ago, Wu Liang came to the county and called me, saying that the boss’s face was now red from the wind and sand, and his hands had blisters several times. I felt really sorry for him. he!"

After hearing this, Zhong Lifeng raised his head and said: "This is the benchmark for Chinese literati. I admire him very much. Only when he takes his works and characters so seriously can he write good works. Shanhe will be more brilliant in the future. I can guarantee that if you come to Chuhe I made the right choice in film and television. With such a boss, I feel at ease. We must work hard to make Chuhe Film and Television bigger. It is best to create a media giant. We must not waste the reputation of Shanhe!"

"Mr. Zhong said it well, not only can't the boss's reputation be wasted, but he must also be worthy of his reputation!"

At this time, a knock on the door interrupted the excitement of the two heroines.

"Please come in!"

"Mr. Zhong, Manager Yang, the ratings for the first episode of "Cliff" are out. It's 10.03%, exactly over 10. "Cliff" is going to be the drama king of the year!"

"Okay! The first episode has exceeded 10 points. This annual drama king has been won by our Chuhe Film and Television!"
