Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 246 Chapter 246: The feeling of taking one more step

August was coming to an end, and Shanhe sent away the two girls who were enjoying themselves and their pet dog Doudou, and continued to immerse himself in writing "Signal".

In the past week, many Hollywood film companies have joined the fight for the European and American rights to "Hot Girl", but the purpose is not the movie itself.

There are too many inspirational movies made in Europe and the United States. Moreover, the background and thinking in "Bottom Girl" are very different from those in Europe and the United States. Anyone with some common sense knows that this movie has a very small market in Europe and the United States.

The target audience of this movie in Europe and the United States, in addition to the die-hard book fans of Shanhe, is the Asian community in Europe and the United States. The audience is very narrow, and the box office prospects are not good.

The profits from disc rentals and online broadcasts are even greater. After all, this is Shanhe's first film. With his reputation in Europe and the United States, there should be many curious fans who click on it or take the disc home to watch.

Although the price offered by various Hollywood film companies was not high, they were all competing to bid. The European and American distribution rights of "Bottom Girl" seemed to be very popular.

Their goal is obvious, which is to strengthen ties with Shanhe. This young man in his twenties has already gained a reputation in Hollywood, and his future is immeasurable!

It is naturally impossible for Disney Pictures to let the cash cow of Shanhe be pried away by other companies. The manager of Disney's China branch directly expressed the intention of the headquarters to Zhong Lifang. No matter how much other companies bid, Disney has two million dollars more than them!

Unsurprisingly, the European and American distribution rights of "Bottom Girl" were acquired by Disney for US$9.5 million.

Disney Pictures will release "Bad Girls" on a small scale immediately after "The Martian" is released in theaters.

It is expected that "The Martian" will explode at the box office and promote the release of "Bottom Girl".

At the same time, the domestic release of "Bottom Girl" has entered its ninth week, and the film schedule and box office have exhausted the last bit of power.

The single-day box office is hovering around 100,000 yuan, and with one week left until the release, the hope of breaking 300 million yuan is basically dashed!

On September 1st, Chuhe Film and Television issued an open letter informing the global distribution status of "Bottom Hot Girl".

"As of August 31st, the cumulative domestic box office of "The Hottest Girl" is 292.58 million yuan, the box office in Hong Kong is 38.75 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Taiwan is 238 million yuan. NT$100,000, Neon’s box office was 2.68 billion yen, 265,000 moviegoers in Bangkok, the cumulative box office in Southeast Asian countries was 4.8 million U.S. dollars, and Disney Pictures’ 9.5 million US$10,000 was spent to buy out the European and American distribution rights. The total global box office of "Bottom Girl" has exceeded 570 million yuan. Chuhe Film and Television would like to thank the public for their support. Director Shan He would like to thank book fans and movie fans for their care. We must I will continue to work hard to make more and more exciting films for Chinese movies and the Chinese people. Thank you again!"

The release of this announcement once again caused a lot of sighs. The media and the public are used to Shanhe and "Bottom Hot Girls" frequently causing trouble in the past two months. Apart from another praise and sigh, it did not cause any other heated discussions.

But this announcement caused quite a stir in the Chinese film and television industry!

A campus youth inspirational film with a small to medium budget, Shengsheng was made a blockbuster by Shanhe.

Everyone expected it to break the record in China. Although they lamented the bug of Shanhe, they were not too shocked. After all, Shanhe has accumulated a reputation in China for seven or eight years, and its appeal among young people is obvious to all!

However, the explosion of "Bottom Girl" in various overseas regions was somewhat beyond the expectations of the film industry.

In the office of the Director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Han Shanping and Tong Gang, the then Director of the State Administration, reported on the situation of Chinese films this year and expectations for next year.

During this period, we talked about Shanhe’s overseas influence.

"Lao Han, this meeting between the Ministry of Culture and the China Propaganda Department focused on the issue of exporting culture to the outside world. Our radio and television are the first to bear the brunt. In the next few years, we will not only expand the domestic film and television market, but also consider the film In terms of overseas influence, Shanhe has done very well this time. His movies have been distributed well throughout Asia. You China Film Group should support these influential directors overseas and let them make more movies with international influence. !”

Han Shanping nodded and replied: "We at China Film Group also have a plan to expand our films overseas. This plan was originally inspired by this guy Shan He. Our Chinese films have a natural disadvantage in the European and American markets. The only ones that sell well are Kung Fu films. , but it is different in Asia. They both belong to the Chinese cultural circle, and the cultural isolation is much smaller. This time, "Bottom Hot Girl" is an example. Shanhe said two years ago that the theme of the Three Kingdoms is more popular in neon and stick. China has a huge influence, and China Film wants to continue the Asian distribution of "Three Kingdoms: Battle of Red Cliff" and open up the Asian market first, so that our production pressure will be much less in the future!"

"That's a good idea!" Tong Gang nodded in agreement, "Shan He is such a genius. He can make a youth movie so popular. Please support him more in the future. Chinese movies can't rely on Zhang Yi all the time. A few of them!"

"I know!" Han Shanping replied, "I will bring Shanhe into this eighth Directors Guild Cross-Strait and Three Places Symposium. In addition, the Directors Guild is planning to organize an annual Directors Guild Film Awards. The General Administration can Much support!”

"Ask Huang Jianxin to type up the report, and the General Administration will try to give you the green light!"

Coincidentally, Chuhe Film and Television's announcement had a huge impact on private entertainment companies at this time.

At this time, Enlight Media was still a private entertainment media company focusing on variety shows that "reported on the entertainment industry".

The programs it produced, such as "China Entertainment Report", "China Entertainment Figures Report", and "China Music Chart", have achieved great success.

In early 2005, Wang Changtian, the boss of Enlight Media, began to consider transformation, but he has been hesitating. This announcement from Chuhe Film and Television directly made him determined that Enlight Media must enter the film and television industry!

Li Dagou of Galloping Pony was also alarmed by this announcement, and held a company meeting the next day to prepare to move into movies while taking care of the production of TV series.

Yu Dongke, general manager of Bona Pictures, is an old acquaintance of Shanhe. He has been involved in the film distribution circle from China Film Distribution Department to joining Bona Pictures. The success of Shanhe's "Bottom Hot Girl" also made him Ambition to get involved in film and television production!

At this time, Huayi Brothers, the leader of China's private film companies, was facing a big crisis.

The two brothers were also talking about Chuhe Film and Television's announcement in the office.

Wang Zhonglei pointed at the computer screen and said: "Brother, Shanhe is really amazing. The total box office in Asia has exceeded 70 million US dollars. If Europe and the United States are added, it will not exceed 100 million US dollars. Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" is not as fierce as him. "Bottom Hot Girl" "But this is a campus youth film, it's incredible!"

"Shanhe is a special case. The novel "Bottom Hot Girl" has been sold for so many years and has great influence throughout Asia. However, this achievement is indeed a bit exaggerated. With an investment of more than 10 million yuan and two young actors, it all depends on Shanhe With the appeal, Chuhe Film and Television will make a lot of money this time!" Wang Zhongjun shook his head and responded, "By the way, what's going on with Wang Jinghua? What does she say about our conditions?"

Wang Zhonglei shook his head and replied: "She didn't refuse directly, but I think she has decided to go. Brother, we'd better make preparations in advance!"

Wang Zhongjun nodded and said: "Let's go. It's going to rain. Mother is getting married. We have to learn lessons this time. Look at Chuhe Film and Television. Shanhe and Zhong Lifeng don't care much about the agency department. We are a film and television company." The company mainly depends on the production. Next, our first task is to appease Feng Xiaogang, give him everything he deserves, and recruit more director talents. Directors are the foundation of the film company, and stars can be promoted! "

"Brother, you are right. Look at Hollywood film companies. Which one has an actor agent? Producers and directors are the mainstay of film companies. Shanhe is an example. One movie helped Chuhe Film and Television earn hundreds of millions. ! Should we also go overseas?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and nodded, "You can give it a try. We don't have a big international director, so we can use international stars. Cheng Long and Li Lienhe can both be contacted!"

The butterfly wings of Shanhe and "Bottom Hot Girl" have stirred up an undercurrent in the Chinese film industry, and the Chinese film industry has entered a period of development ahead of schedule!

September 1st was the day that Shanhe thought he had left behind. Since his rebirth, he had to sign up at this time every year.

Unexpectedly, as a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, he still got in touch with the school!

The caller from the Chinese Department of Peking University directly called him, "Hello Shanhe, I am Chen Pinyuan from the Chinese Department of Peking University."

"Hello, Professor Chen! I am Qiu Shanhe!"

"Shanhe, you have been studying in the Chinese Language Department of Peking University for four years, but you have not reported to Peking University for a day. This is considered an anecdote at Peking University. Why, you still want to be a Peking University student forever. ah?"

"Ah! Professor Chen, I have been writing a new book recently, so I have ignored other things. Professor Chen, you know that my situation is a bit special. I don't know how to get my diploma from Beijing University?"

"Well, how about you take some time in the next two days to come to the Chinese Department of Peking University and let's talk and discuss your next study arrangements in detail?"

"Okay, thank you Professor Chen, I will report to the Chinese Department of Peking University tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"

"Professor Chen, goodbye!"

Shanhe put down the phone and covered his forehead. He had really forgotten all about Beijing University. When will he be able to get rid of his status as a student?

The full name of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University is the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University. It is one of the departments with the longest history at Peking University.

Many Chinese literary masters have taught in the Department of Chinese Literature at Peking University, and they have an irreplaceable position and influence in the history of modern Chinese literature.

At this time, the Department of Chinese Literature at Peking University had four undergraduate majors: Chinese Literature, Chinese Linguistics, Classical Philology, and Applied Linguistics.

The subject in the Shanhe academic books is Chinese literature.

After Chen Pinyuan hung up the phone, he smiled and said to the professors of the Chinese Department next to him: "Shan He will report to the Chinese Department tomorrow. How do you plan to arrange this student of ours who is already famous all over the world?"

"Beiying Film has treated Shanhe as a treasure in the past few years, and Shanhe has lived up to Beiying's expectations. Look, the first movie broke records, and the overseas distribution was so good. According to common sense, he should have been our A talented person from the Chinese Department was taken advantage of by Beiying!"

"It doesn't matter if you come later, just come. His situation is a bit special and he can't study full-time like ordinary students. Let's just exempt him from the public classes in the first two years!"

"According to the level of his novels, it would be enough to win the Mao Dun Literary Award. If it weren't for his young age, "Parasite" would have been shortlisted for the last Mao Dun Literary Award. There would be no problem in coming to Beijing University and directly becoming a professor. What are you still thinking about? Let him start studying as an undergraduate?"

"Old Xu, you can't say that. The level of writing is the level of writing. You still have to learn the theory that you should learn. This is adding to the knowledge of the country and laying a solid foundation. It's better not to skip it!"

"You said it's just theory. We all have experience in writing. These things are useless. They are for academic preparation. If you ask me, start directly with a master's degree!"

"I don't agree with your opinion. The Chinese Department of Beijing University must have rules!"

"You are dogmatic. Don't you understand the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude?"

Several professors talked and started arguing about the study arrangements for the Chinese Department of Shanhe.

The next day, Shanhe rushed to the office building of the Chinese Language and Literature Department of Peking University early in the morning. It was the beginning of the semester and it was the busiest time on campus. As soon as Shanhe walked into the Peking University campus, he immediately discovered the difference between Peking University and Beijing Film Academy.

Peking University's campus area and student density are not comparable to that of Beijing Film University. On the campus of Peking University, you can see many teachers and students riding bicycles and tourists walking on the campus roads. It is a completely different atmosphere from Beijing Film University.

Shanhe, who was wearing a peaked cap, changed his plan and was not in a hurry to report to the Chinese Department. He began to enjoy the scenery of Peking University campus along the way.

The Department of Chinese Language and Literature is located on the old campus of Peking University. It has a beautiful name: Yanyuan.

The scenery here certainly suits the name.

The first is the teaching buildings: from the appearance, they look like antique palaces one after another. Combined with the academic atmosphere of Peking University, they form a unique flavor that makes people daydream and intoxicate.

The second is the lake: the most dazzling scenery on the Peking University campus belongs to the lakes around it. The green lake reflects the beauty of the buildings and plants, coupled with the clear water and the faint sound of water, it becomes a beautiful garden.

The third is sculpture: the antique sculpture group also adds a touch of excitement. Small sculptures and large sculptures surround the campus, accompanied by antique teaching buildings and green trees. It is really an intoxicating picture.

Shanhe found the office courtyard of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature during his stroll and inquiry. Peking University is indeed extraordinary, and the office space is so elegant, which is perfect for the charm of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature!

Walking into the courtyard, Shanhe quickly asked about Chen Pinyuan's office.

After knocking on the door a few times, Shanhe walked into the office with the answer "Please come in."

A thin, middle-aged man wearing a dark suit, black-rimmed glasses, and some baldness came into Shanhe's sight.

Shanhe took off his peaked cap and said, "Hello, Professor Chen. I'm Qiu Shanhe. Please give me a call yesterday!"

Chen Pinyuan looked up at Shanhe when he heard the sound, then stood up and walked to Shanhe, "You just came here by yourself! Why didn't you call me? I'll have someone greet you. Sit down first!"

Shanhe Yiyan sat on the guest sofa and replied with a smile: "I'm here to report. How dare I bother the teacher to greet me. I walked all the way from Yanyuan. The style of Peking University is intoxicating. Professor Chen, I feel a little regretful." , it’s too late!”

"Haha..." Chen Pinyuan poured a glass of water for Shan He, sat across from Shan He and responded with a smile, "It seems that the rumors are true. You Shan He does have the temperament of Chinese scholars who are neither humble nor overbearing, modest and elegant. There is no need to regret it. From now on, here It’s your alma mater!”

"I'm very honored, but I'm probably the oldest freshman in Kyoto!" Shanhe laughed at himself.

Chen Pinyuan looked at Shanhe and replied: "We know that your situation is special. Yesterday, our department had quite a debate about your academic arrangements. Shanhe, please tell us what you think first?"

Shanhe nodded and replied: "Professor Chen, I have graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy. According to my original plan, I will soon enter work, but I don't want to escape studying at Peking University. Literature is my first love." It is my dream to have the opportunity to further my studies. Of course I can’t ask for it, so I’ll just listen to the department’s arrangements and I will adjust my time!”

"Okay!" Chen Pinyuan looked at the mountains and rivers with admiration and continued, "We have arranged it like this. You don't have to worry about the public courses in the first two years. You can directly study for a bachelor's and a master's degree. For the professional courses in the two years after the bachelor's degree, you can arrange your time freely. Study, we do not require you to come to school to study, but you have to complete a related paper every semester. We hope to hear your defense to understand your study progress. As long as you pass the defense, the Chinese Department will How about giving you a diploma and a master's degree certificate?"

"Can I come to the class when I have time?" Shanhe asked.

"Of course! We hope you will come more often and communicate more with teachers and classmates. Your status is not ordinary!"

"Then I won't be pretentious. Professor Chen thanks the Chinese Department for the preferential treatment given to me. I'll sign up and get the teaching materials!" Shanhe stood up and thanked him.

"No need, I've already arranged your textbooks and student registration for you. Uh, you still have to pay for the books!" Chen Pinyuan said with a smile.

"Thank you professors for taking care of me. I will take this opportunity seriously!"

"You're welcome. Your growth is our greatest hope. How is your new book going?" Chen Pinyuan asked with a smile.

Shanhe replied: "There was a difficult period, but things are gradually getting smoother. The new books may be less literary and more popular than the bestsellers!"

Chen Pinyuan waved his hand and said: "Beijing University is not a pile of old stories. I know that the theme of your new book is detective suspense. This theme is mostly touching with plots, so there is no need to be taboo! You are still young, so it is not a bad thing to try more. I know that what you pursue is to appeal to both refined and popular tastes. , this realm is not easy to grasp, it requires not only skills, but also life!"

"Thank you for your understanding, teacher. When I finish the new book, I will bring it to all the teachers for advice!"

"Haha...I'm looking forward to it!"

One morning, Chen Pinyuan led Shanhe to meet several professors from the Chinese Department. After a pleasant conversation, he took Shanhe to get familiar with the teaching building and library of the Chinese Department.

Chen Pinyuan loves and is proud of this library.

Because this library contains so many out-of-print books and documents, they are the treasures of the Chinese Language Department of Peking University. All books can only be read in the library and cannot be borrowed!

After listening to Chen Pinyuan's introduction, Shanhe was looking forward to this library. It seemed that he would come to Beijing University to read more when he had time!

What Shanhe didn't expect was that the news that he was going to the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Beijing University would make headlines in entertainment newspapers the next day.

In the past two months, Shanhe has been the number one news figure in the country, and everything about him has been a hot topic in media reports.

But Shanhe hid in the courtyard after returning from Neon, and even refused the celebration cocktail party for "Bottom Hot Girl"!

The media is, of course, eager to follow his whereabouts.

When Shanhe carried the teaching materials out of the gate of Beijing University, he happened to be recognized by a passing reporter. He only took two photos. Before he could come up to ask questions, Shanhe got in the car and left.

As a result, the photo of Shanhe wearing a peaked cap and carrying textbooks made headlines.

The accompanying text is: Peking University welcomes the biggest student, and the proud student is still working tirelessly to break records!

This news quickly spread to the Internet, and a group of book fans and melon-eaters started a heated discussion about the news.

"Shanhe is really weird. Other directors are not always involved in scandals, cheating, divorces, etc. It would be better for him to go to school..."

"Why do I feel so inexplicably happy? Shanhe is such a wonderful person..."

"Shanhe, are you going to work so hard? How can you make us ordinary people feel so embarrassed like this?"

"I am a current student in the Chinese Language Department of Peking University. Shanhe will be my alumni from now on. Maybe we can even take classes together in the big classroom!"

"I finally understand why Shanhe is so successful. They really work hard..."

There are also many book fans who have left messages and inquiries on Shanhe's blog.

Shanhe replied in his blog: I didn’t expect that I would be able to reach the front. The road is still long. I just wanted to try what it feels like to take one more step forward!
