Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Shanhe enrolled in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University. The news spread both online and in real life as Shanhe answered on his blog.

Shanhe's answer aroused admiration and emotion.

The voice of the Chinese literary world is particularly conspicuous. Many well-known writers have expressed their appreciation for Shanhe's approach.

They all spoke out, praising Shanhe's ability to continue to settle on top of the glitz, and they were full of expectations for Shanhe Literature.

The general process of literary creation is divided into three stages: occurrence, conception and materialization.

Shanhe spent several months hoarding a wealth of materials with thematic characteristics, which only provided the basic conditions for the novel to take shape.

In order to enter the creative process, there must also be sufficient creative discovery.

Without creative discovery, no matter how many and good materials there are, they can only be a pile of "chaotic bricks and rubble" lacking spiritual control.

Creative discovery is also creative inspiration. When inspiration comes, a writer's eyes often light up, his heart is shaken, he is thoughtful and enlightened, and writing suddenly becomes a pleasant enjoyment!

Shanhe has now entered this feeling, and the writing of "Signal" has finally entered a good state.

Zhao Zhenxiong saved the next victim through the time and space connection with Li Mingzhe, but due to Zhao Zhenxiong's inexperience, the cunning murderer discovered him in advance,

Apart from saving the victim's life, Zhao Zhenxiong achieved nothing, but he was very excited. With Li Mingzhe's advance prediction, the murderer would not be able to escape for long!

But what happened next made the two of them unexpected. As the fate of the originally murdered victim changed, the time and space Li Mingzhe was in was flapping by butterfly wings. Not only did the murderer fail to be caught, but also appeared in his case file. more victims.

The murderer seemed to be angered by Zhao Zhenxiong's intervention. He committed crimes continuously within two days, killing two originally innocent girls, one of whom was even a junior high school student.

When Zhao Zhenxiong saw the face of a junior high school girl at the crime scene, he collapsed. He knew this girl. He saw this girl riding a bicycle to school every day when he went to work. Her cheerfulness and beauty were so wonderful!

The girl's youth and laughter kept surrounding his ears. These two victims were not in the list of victims Li Mingzhe gave him. Things have changed. Why is this happening!

The two people's cleverness caused this originally carefree girl to wither in the season before she bloomed!

In another time-space connection, the two broke out into a hysterical quarrel. The time-space connection seemed to be helpless against the murderer, and both of them were knocked down by the development of the matter at the same time!

By the time "The Signal" is written, the plot has fully unfolded, and chasing the murderer has become an obsession for the two of them.

For a week, Shanhe was immersed in the pleasure of creation.

Forgetting all the comments from the outside world, he has become accustomed to praise and flattery. When you are going well, there are always people looking for reasons for your success, but if you encounter difficulties, these will be the original sins of failure!

Compliments and flowers are not that nice!

On this day, Yang Liu took the company's second general Heng Ha to the courtyard of Shanhe.

Shanhe just finished writing the third call of "Signal", and he happily entertained two veteran actors of the company whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Boss, are we here to disturb you? Yangliu said that he has something to do with you. Baoqiang just happened to come over to deliver millet to you, so I came with him!" Huang Bo said with a smile.

"Writing a novel is not a secluded life. There will always be times to relax. I'm glad you guys are here!" Shanhe poured tea for the three of them, "But Huang Bo, why are you here with big and small boxes of things?" I don’t accept gifts!”

Huang Bo touched his forehead and said: "These are the specialties of my hometown, Laoshan green tea, Qindao sea cucumber, didn't Baoqiang bring you millet and red dates too?"

"This thing of yours is too expensive, and it's a bit burdensome for me to charge it!" Shanhe joked as he took a sip of tea.

Huang Bo replied: "You can't blame me for this. These are the specialties of my hometown. Apart from these, the most famous one is Qindao beer. I can't buy two boxes of beer. Besides, the price is not as expensive as you think. It was my sisters who went to the countryside to get it themselves, it’s just what they wanted!”

"Just keep it!" Yang Liu said with a smile, "I have some too. They both went home and brought a lot of big and small bags!"

Shanhe nodded, "Then I'll take it, and don't take it with me in the future. Baoqiang too! It would be great to come over and have a chat. What have you two been busy with recently?"

Huang Bo took a sip of tea and replied: ""Crazy Racing" has been completed. I have a movie and a TV series this year, all of which are male leads. Boss, do you think I should also become popular?"

"It's not enough to be popular just once. You have to keep popular. After this year, you will have more opportunities!" Shanhe replied with a smile.

Wang Baoqiang also grinned and said: "The company helped me create a play, "Soldier Assault". Sister Yang said you helped me choose it. I just trained in the military camp for more than a month. I played the male lead. I felt This role suits me so well, Xu Sanduo really looks a bit like me!"

Hearing this, Shanhe looked at the grinning Wang Baoqiang and said, "No wonder it has darkened so much. Act well, this TV series is very important to you!"

"I know!"

Shanhe refilled the tea for the two of them and said with a smile: "In two years, the three of us will work together to make a movie. I also want to try a comedy!"

"Hey! Then we are going to be very angry. Boss, your skills are so scary. Ning Hao always said you were a bug on the set, and he was thrown to the back of the car after just one movie!"

"That's right, Shanhe, you are so awesome. The newspaper said that the global box office of "Bottom Girl" will exceed 100 million U.S. dollars. It's scary to think about it. How much money would that be?"

Shanhe responded with a smile: "In a few years, this result will become common. We are all very lucky and have met with good times!"

…

A few people drank tea and chatted and laughed. When it was over, Shan He looked at Yang Liu who was opposite and asked with a smile on his face: "Didn't Huang Bo just say that you have something to do with me? What's the matter?"

Yang Liu took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Shanhe, "This is the invitation letter from the Chinese Directors Association. You will be included in the association. Next week, the 8th Cross-Strait and Three Places Directors Exchange Conference will be held. It’s being held in the capital, and you have to attend.”

Shanhe took the envelope and opened it. Sure enough, it was an invitation letter from the Chinese Directors Association, and an invitation card that said "The Eighth Cross-Strait and Three Places Directors' Symposium."

"I have to go with this invitation. Yangliu, you will take me to Jiuxianqiao tomorrow to go through the membership formalities!"

The Chinese Film Directors Association is the most authoritative industry association organized by Chinese film directors.

The purpose of this association is to unite film workers, safeguard the dignity of directors, protect the rights and interests of directors, communicate directors' experiences, improve the level of film and television culture, and promote artistic exchanges among directors internationally, across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Since its official establishment in 1993, the Chinese Directors Association has included almost all mainland directors and is the largest director group in China.

As the youngest record-breaking director in China, Shanhe naturally cannot be excluded!

The current chairman of the Chinese Directors Association is Huang Jianxin, and six vice-chairmen include Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Li Shaohong.

Shan He rushed to Hengtong International Entrepreneurship Park, the office of the Directors Association, early the next morning.

When he walked into the office on the 13th floor, a dozen well-known Chinese directors were preparing for a meeting.

"Shan He, you're here!" Feng Xiaogang saw Shan He's figure first, smiled and greeted him, "What a coincidence, this is the time when our Directors Association has the most people!"

Shanhe first raised his hands to greet these seniors and said: "Seniors, you are preparing for a meeting. Is it not the right time for me to report?"

Huang Jianxin responded with a smile: "Since it's such a coincidence, Shanhe, don't be pretentious. Let's have a meeting together. We'll talk about the membership procedures later. No need for me to introduce them. Most of them are alumni of your Beijing Film Academy!"

Shanhe greeted Brother Chen Kai, Li Shaohong and other Beiying teachers one by one, and replied: "I'm not even a member, so how can I join your leadership meeting? I'd better act according to the rules!"

At this time, Li Shaohong interjected: "Shanhe, you don't have to refuse. Today we are discussing the preparation and specific arrangements for the Directors Guild Annual Awards. You just happened to have some opinions. Everyone knows you have a lot of ideas!"

"Then I will be disrespectful and listen to the discussion of seniors!"

Next, Shanhe listened to the preparations for the first Chinese Directors Association Annual Awards in the conference room.

This newly released "Chinese Directors Association Annual Award" is not much different from China's current film awards, and the process and format are not much different.

In the past two years, there have been an astonishing number of domestic entertainment awards. Various TV stations, radio stations, and magazines have been awarding awards to people.

Any media can come up with a bunch of pheasant awards, and the public has become numb to these messy awards.

Perhaps because of Shanhe's forward-looking vision, he is not very optimistic about this award held by the Executive Committee of the Directors Guild. First of all, you are not an official award and have no authority. Secondly, you have no highlights and no appeal. Thirdly, you are only an internal award from the Directors Guild. For your own entertainment, the circle is too small and has no credibility!

What China lacks is influential awards, and there are too many small-scale self-entertainment. The Directors Association is a bit more advanced than ordinary civil organizations, but it is not much better!

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and everyone had said everything. Li Shaohong looked at Shanhe behind him, smiled and said: "Shanhe, after listening to so much, you didn't say a word, you really want to be an audience. , your brain is very useful and you have a lot of ideas. Tell me your opinions. We are all acquaintances. If you have anything to say, those who know first will come first. You are qualified to give opinions!"

Shanhe looked at the senior directors around him, stood up and said with a smile: "Then I will give you some ideas and share my opinions. Seniors, please just think that you are listening to the arrogance of the juniors!"

Shanhe paused and continued: "Seniors, there are so many domestic entertainment awards now. Is our Directors Association Annual Award any different from them? It seems there is not much difference. It is unofficial, unattractive, and has no credibility. Our award How can we gain public attention and expand our influence?"

Shanhe's words surprised several people. Shanhe almost rejected everyone's previous preparation suggestions, but what he said was also extremely realistic.

Huang Jianxin said: "Go on, put forward any suggestions you have. We organize this Directors Association Annual Award to expand the influence of the Directors Association and provide more platforms and opportunities for directors in China!"

Shanhe nodded and responded: "Can we not start with awards? The circle of participation of our directors alone is too small. Can we discuss with the film council and hold it in the form of an annual filmmaker gathering, a bit like Hollywood At the Golden Globe Awards, filmmakers gather together, the awards are changed to commendations, several film companies are brought in, and the size of the jury is expanded. When the time is ripe, it will not be too late to establish awards. Will this be more attractive? , a little more special!”

Shanhe's words made several directors think. After a while, it was Huang Jianxin who spoke first: "What Shanhe said is not unreasonable. Lao Han has said before that these messy award ceremonies in China have attracted the attention of the above. Starting next year, It is very likely that policies will be introduced to ban these awards, and it is a good idea to change the awards to recognition!”

Li Shaohong also said: "It is feasible to communicate with the Film Association. It is a good idea to start with an annual gathering of filmmakers. After all, the public's attention is still on the stars!"

"It would be great to bring the film company in! We will definitely not have to worry about funding. Shanhe's proposal is good. The annual gathering of filmmakers will be large in scope. With this prototype, the future development will be considerable!" Feng Xiaogang also said Agreed.

Brother Chen Kai frowned and said, "It's a good idea, but will it break away from the control of our Directors Association?"

"Old Chen has a reasonable consideration. Will this go against our original intention?"

"I don't think there's any problem. The Golden Rooster Awards only happen every two years. If we can organize it well, this recognition will be very exciting. As for who controls it, it's too early to ask. Let's try it first and then decide!"

…

Shanhe's words caused more than a dozen members of the Executive Committee of the Directors Association to start talking.

After Shanhe set a fire as usual, he sat down and became an audience.

The Chinese film industry in later generations has always lacked a heavyweight award. Now the most famous three gold awards have become increasingly withered due to various reasons.

As long as the opportunity is right, the Chinese Directors Association has the connections and resources to win a decent award. Of course, this will take a long time. Shanhe is powerless now!

But if there can be a prototype of an award in advance, in a few years, Shanhe will have the opportunity and foundation to change!

Shanhe took the opportunity to give his idea a break in advance. As for whether it can come true, he can't control it now. His strength and qualifications are not enough!

The meeting was interrupted just before noon. After Shanhe completed the membership formalities, he declined the attempts of several directors to stay and left Hengtong International Entrepreneurship Park.

Shanhe knew that it was okay to make some suggestions at the meeting, but it would be taboo to participate deeply. He was still just a junior, and his qualifications and strength needed to be accumulated slowly!

After returning to the courtyard, Shanhe didn't take his step to heart.

Since you are not under your control, you should obey fate in everything you do!

He still focused his energy on writing novels.

In his writing, the three protagonists of "Signal" began to be entangled in their fate for twenty years. The mystery of the serial murder case began to unravel, and the mystery of Zhao Zhenxiong's life and death also began to be gradually revealed.

On September 16, the 8th Cross-Strait and Three-Region Directors’ Symposium was held in Beijing.

Many filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places participated in this rare gathering of the Chinese film industry.

Mainland directors attending the conference included Han Shanping, Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Li Shaohong, Huo Jianqi, Ning Hao and more than 100 old, middle-aged and young directors, including almost the entire fourth to sixth generation of mainland directors.

There are also many directors from Hong Kong participating in the conference. Cheng Long, Zeng Zhiwei, Er Dongsheng, Chen Kexin, Xu Anhua and more than fifty directors have arrived in Beijing.

Nearly forty Taiwanese directors have come to Beijing, including well-known directors such as Li Xing, Tsai Ming-liang, Zhu Yanping, and Feng Cuifan.

Shanhe, who was invited, is also one of the mainland directors.

The meeting lasted for four days and had a total of four agendas:

First, the attraction of mainland China as a huge market to directors from cross-strait and three places and the recent changes.

Second, the possibility of Chinese films integrating into world mainstream films after reorganization.

Third, the direction of mainstream films and the relationship between creative staff and investors.

Fourth, how to protect the director’s interests at this stage.

During the four-day conference agenda, Shanhe will speak as a representative of young directors every day, expressing opinions and suggestions on the current situation and future of Chinese-language films.

This is the first cry of a Chinese-language director arranged for him by the China Film and Television Administration. Shanhe will make his debut in the Chinese-language film industry and begin his journey.

Before the meeting started, Shanhe had attracted the attention of Hong Kong and Taiwan directors at the dinner the day before.

Talking about this year's Chinese-language films, the most outstanding ones are Shan He and his "Bottom Hot Girl".

Shan He's international influence was undoubtedly revealed during the film's release. Some directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan who were unfamiliar with Shan He paid attention and were curious about him.

How could such an incredible figure come from the Mainland? He was only in his early twenties. Not only was he on the Hollywood power list, he even made a youth inspirational movie to the point where it exceeded 100 million US dollars!

At this time, Shanhe didn't know what these people were thinking. He was chatting with Zhang Yimou about his new movie.

"Brother, hasn't your new movie started shooting yet?"

Zhang Yimou replied with a smile: "This time I moved "Thunderstorm" to an ancient feudal ruling dynasty. The scene is relatively large, and it takes a long time to set up the scenery. The preliminary preparations are almost complete, and filming will start next month!"

Shanhe has watched "The City of Golden Armor", and what impressed him most was the tightly strangled big breasts. The visual and sensory impact was overwhelming!

So, he smiled and joked: "Brother, it seems that your plan is big!"

"You have broken all my records, I have to work harder!" Zhang Yi did not hear what Shanhe meant, "My cast this time is very strong, including Zhou Runfa, Gong Li, Zhang Weiping and Jay Chou. We have called them, and together with Yang Mi and Liu Ye, who are both famous for you, we can say that we are the top lineup of Chinese-language movies!"

Shanhe waved his hand and said: "I rely on the added value of the original work to break the record. Senior brother, you don't have to wait until next year, "Three Kingdoms" at the end of the year will let you get the record back!"

"You are more confident about the box office of "Three Kingdoms" than I am!" Zhang Yimou looked at Shanhe and said, "I heard that Mr. Han handed over the overseas distribution of "Three Kingdoms: Battle of Red Cliff" to your Chuhe Film and Television?"

"No!" Shanhe shook his head and responded, "It's just a cooperative release. Mr. Han was probably moved by the release of Zhong Lifeng's "The Hot Girl". After all, "Three Kingdoms" requires too much investment, and relying solely on domestic box office is too stressful!"

"When it comes to this, I'm extremely worried. "Battle of Red Cliff" is the beginning of the Three Kingdoms series. The follow-up plan depends on whether this one can be a good starting point. We can't afford to fail!" Zhang Yimou's face tightened. .

Shanhe got a glass of water for Zhang Yi, handed it to him and said: "I haven't watched the film, but I have confidence in my senior brother. This kind of film is what you are good at. The big scenes and the use of colors can have an impact on the audience." , coupled with your skills in drama shooting, it’s not bad, Huang Bo told me when he came back, the crew is running very smoothly!"

Zhang Yimou took a sip of water and sighed: "I hope it's as you said. The most difficult time for us as directors is not the filming period, but the period of waiting for the release!"

At this time, a voice with a southern accent sounded next to the two of them: "Director Zhang, what are you talking about that makes you so involved?"

Shanhe turned around and saw a big nose. Cheng Long walked up to the two of them at some point.

"Shanhe, Cheng Long, you two don't need me to introduce you!" Zhang Yimou said looking at Cheng Long.

Cheng Long smiled and stretched out his hand, "Shanhe, we were both Olympic bid ambassadors in 2001, but we haven't met each other. It's been four years. You are much more mature than I thought!"

Shanhe held Cheng Long's hand and said, "Hello, brother Cheng Long, I am Qiu Shanhe, nice to meet you!"

Cheng Long looked at Shanhe and sighed: "Seeing you have such achievements at such a young age, I really feel old. My son is two years older than you. If he is half as old as you, I can donate all my wealth." go!"

Before Shanhe could be humble, Zhang Yimou answered: "Cheng Long, I'm older than you, and I don't give in to old age. I just told Shanhe that I wanted to compete with him at the box office, and you still lamented What, children are blessed with children, and my daughter is one year older than Shanhe!"

"Haha..." Cheng Long responded with a smile: "Both of us are model workers in Chinese films. You are right. I am not convinced. Next week, my new film "Myth" will be released. You can come and see me when you have time. Come to the premiere, I have to work harder in the mainland film market!"

Shanhe nodded and agreed to Cheng Long's invitation, and he still had to give his eldest brother face!

Cheng Long said to Shanhe with satisfaction: "You have really brought glory to us Chinese people in Hollywood. I fully felt your fame at Disney. When it comes to you, all the staff know that as long as it is your idea, That means success. I heard that "The Martian" will be released next month. Will you go to Hollywood this time?"

Shanhe nodded and replied: "I will go for a few days, and I won't stay for too long. I really can't put it down!"

"It seems that you don't like Hollywood very much. Everyone is eager to be exposed in Hollywood, but you repeatedly refuse. Don't geniuses have different ideas from others?" Cheng Long joked with a smile.

Shanhe shook his head and replied: "I just love home. Besides, the Chinese film market is not necessarily smaller than that of M!"

Cheng Long and Zhang Yi both laughed, "Young people dare to think, there is potential, but I don't know if we can see it?"

Shanhe smiled and replied: "It will be quick, it won't take a few years!"

In the following meeting, Shanhe began his shocking journey in the Chinese film industry.

On the morning of the first day, Shanhe did not talk about his production experience like the previous speakers, but directly pointed the topic at the future of Chinese-language films!

His speech made the Chinese film directors in the audience stunned.

"...To sum up, the mainland box office will explode. Last year, the total box office in the mainland was 1.5 billion, and this year the total box office of movies in the mainland will exceed 5 billion. I dare to conclude that in five years, the total box office in mainland China will be It will exceed 15 billion, and the first billion-dollar movie will appear. In ten years, the total box office of mainland movies will exceed 40 billion, and the first movie worth 3 billion will appear. This will be a hot spot for movies. , what we need is to work hard, rather than just grab a handful and leave. We directors should take a longer-term view. What Chinese-language films need now is nothing more than funds, talents and technology. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places are backed by such a vast In the market, Chinese-language films can completely compete with Hollywood films, and even defeat them!"

Shanhe's five-minute speech kept the entire meeting occupied for an entire afternoon. Everyone was either excited, doubtful, or dismissive!

Shanhe received questions from everyone.

"Shanhe, is there any basis for your judgment?"

Shanhe took out the growth curve chart of Huaguo Cinema Line, "As of September this year, there are more than 3,000 cinemas in the country, most of which have multiple screening rooms, an increase of more than 50% over the same period last year. I don’t need to say more about China’s economic data. The people will become richer and richer, more and more people will go to the movies, and we have a population of more than one billion. My judgment is even a bit conservative!”

"Shanhe, what do you think we should do in depth?"

"I am a junior director. I believe that everyone here is more experienced than me, especially directors from Hong Kong. I don't need to tell you how much it will hurt the film market to follow the trend and make quick money by making bad movies. I don't need to say that everyone understands. We know how much it will do to the film market. Starting from next year, He Film and Television will get involved in animation production and science fiction movies. Chinese-language movies can have more genres and directors can have more choices!"

"Shanhe, don't you think talking about competing with Hollywood movies now is a bit empty slogans? We don't even have a basic film industry system, so why are we competing?"

"I don't think so. Talents can be cultivated and systems can be established. If you don't do it, how will you know that it can't be done? Waiting is not the answer. Maybe you think I am just firing off a cannon. It doesn't matter, I will do it for you!"

…
