Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

In the VIP private room on the third floor of Lu Yu Teahouse in Central, Hong Kong Island.

Li Jiacheng's compliment made Shanhe dumbfounded, "Mr. Li, you are so ridiculous. These two things are indeed my idea, but they have nothing to do with business operations. They are just luck. The times have created their success, and I am just If you act from your heart, you can do countless things!”

"What a sentence that comes from the heart!" Compared to Li Jiacheng's old god, Zou Wenhuai is much more emotional, "Do you also come from the heart when you like Jiahe this time? We old men have all talked about you, God-given Hui Gen, your luck is amazing, do you have any predictions for the future of Hong Kong Island and Chinese-language films?"

"Thank you, Mr. Zou!" Shanhe held up his hands and smiled at Zou Wenhuai, "Since the seniors asked, the juniors just talked nonsense. The film industry in Hong Kong Island is too closed. Maybe it is because it has experienced glory and is still intoxicated in the past. If Hong Kong films are not integrated into the mainland, they will always be able to survive and survive. We are living in a great era of renaissance. Not only economic renaissance, but also cultural renaissance is needed. This trend is unstoppable. One person or one No matter how powerful the circle is, it can’t compete with the times!”

The two veteran tycoons looked at each other, but neither of them continued the topic.

Li Jiacheng took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "I heard that Lingci is also engaged in the real estate industry in China, but Lingyan is constantly building schools and doing charity. These two fields are my most important undertakings, and the two of us The family is very close, we can sit down together and talk about the future, mountains and rivers when we have time, what do you think?"

After listening to this, Shanhe complained in his heart, you old fox, are you making conditions and talking about exchange!

Shanhe smiled and said, "Of course, my parents are ordinary people, and my family is just like an ordinary family in China. It cannot be compared with a wealthy family like the Li family in Hong Kong!"

"Haha...Shanhe, there is something in your words. When I was your age, I was still running business on Yaliu Street. Rich families are not worth mentioning. When you reach my age, you will be able to I realize that family management is more complicated and difficult than any other business operation!" Li Jiacheng responded with a smile.

"What Jiacheng said is absolutely correct!" Zou Wenhuai added, "It is my biggest regret that I have no descendants to pass on my career. I am very helpless!"

"Mr. Zou doesn't have to worry about this. As long as Golden Harvest is still there, you will always be its founder. It will always be a glorious representative of Hong Kong film. And we are very confident that it will grow with the country's rejuvenation and cultural development." The renaissance is once again glorious. Heritage is not one surname or one lineage. A family cannot prosper forever, but culture can. Your achievements will last forever with Chinese films!" Shanhe responded bluntly.

Shanhe's reply really touched Zou Wenhuai's heart. He agreed with it and was very optimistic about Shanhe, but he still looked calm and just nodded slightly.

Li Jiacheng looked at his old friend and knew that Zou Wenhuai had been persuaded by Shanhe's promise and prospects.

My old friend no longer has the spirit of the past, and all he wants is to take care of things after his death. Shanhe's Chuhe Film and Television is indeed the best choice!

The ownership of Jiahe has mostly been settled!

How much can you get from this deal?

Li Jiacheng looked at the young and talented young man opposite him. He was a young man with broad vision and good luck. He should be able to make a lot of profit by hooking up with him!

"Shanhe, are you interested in finance and real estate? With your talent and knowledge, you can definitely dominate these two industries!"

Shanhe looked at Li Jiacheng, who was smiling, and felt like he was facing a giant crocodile with its bloody mouth. He wanted to use me as a beacon and guidepost!

"Li Laogao looked at me. I really have no talent or interest in business operations. I am a pure Chinese literati. The only things I can do are writing and making movies. Sister Zhong is responsible for the specific things. If Li Lao is in If there are business needs in the country, Chuhe Group may be able to help!"

Li Jiacheng smiled and nodded, "Old Zou, let the young people talk about the rest. Shanhe, how many more days will you stay in Hong Kong Island? You can sit with Quanzi, Chongheng and the others when you have time. Young people We have more common topics to talk about together!”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and smiled, "Jia Cheng is right. The future belongs to you young people. We are very lucky to have the future of Chinese-language films. With young people like you, Hollywood blockbusters have defeated Hong Kong films. I believe it cannot defeat Chinese-language films!"

"Mr. Zou, please rest assured that Chinese-language films will not be defeated. Chinese-language films will surely rise to glory with the rejuvenation of the country and nation!" Shanhe responded decisively.

Li Jiacheng raised his head and glanced at Shanhe, picked up the teacup, smiled, lowered his head and drank the tea slowly.

After that, the three of them stopped talking about Jiahe, and then talked about food and the past of Hong Kong Island decades ago.

The morning tea and conversation lasted for about an hour. Seeing that Shanhe was already in a state of excitement, he stood up and said goodbye.

After Li Jiacheng watched Shan He leave the room, he smiled and asked Zou Wenhuai: "Old Zou, have you made a decision?"

Zou Wenhuai put down the tea cup in his hand, sighed and replied: "A Cheng, I am different from you. I have grown old and Jiahe is in this situation. I am powerless. The young man Shanhe is right. Don't mess up the inside of Jiahe." I have sorted out everything before turning my focus to the mainland. Jiahe will be finished sooner or later. If I were ten years younger, I would still have the courage to steer the ship well, but now I am getting more confused as I get older. Time is not waiting for me! Neither are my children. It’s better to leave this skill to others and make a name for yourself!”

Li Jiacheng looked at his old friend's old-fashioned demeanor and sighed slightly, "The world is ever-changing. Just take the mountains. Are you going to hand over all the shares of Jiahe to Chuhe Film and Television of Shanhe?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded, "If you want to leave, leave cleanly. It's good for everyone. I like this young man Shanhe very much, and I trust him. At least Jiahe will not disappear in his hands. He has this ability, and he has This responsibility! Ah Cheng, what are you going to do with the Jiahe shares in your hand?"

Li Jiacheng smiled, "I have no interest in making movies or engaging in entertainment. This industry is too risky, and it is always in the limelight. It is too high-profile. Shanhe needs to sort out Jiahe. The first thing I saw about him The thing is to take the shares away from me, and I’m curious what he will come up with?”

Zou Wenhuai looked at his old friend who still had sharp eyes, and sighed: "I really envy you. You are still so full of energy even at your age. You haven't changed at all in decades. Ah Cheng, our old friend for decades, There’s something I’ve always wanted to say to you!”

"Oh, tell me! Let's talk straight if we have anything to say!"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and responded softly: "A Cheng, I know your way of doing things. You are very smart about everything, but how can I put it? Sometimes you are too calculated about business interests and ignore other things. Some things are more important than money. important!"

Li Jiacheng raised his head and looked at his old friend, "Old Zou, I am different from you. You are a cultured person and have feelings, but I have been hanging out in the shopping mall all my life. I have been cheating on each other until now. I can't help myself with this wealth. !”

…

On the other side, Shanhe walked out of Lu Yu's teahouse, escorted by the old man in the teahouse.

Before getting in the car and leaving, I looked back at this quaint time-honored morning tea shop and smiled inexplicably. Jiahe's acquisition was a foregone conclusion. As long as Zou Wenhuai could let go, Li Jiacheng's shares would not be difficult to acquire. It was just a matter of paying more. Benefit!

Compared with your future career, the concession and sacrifice of a little money is nothing!

Shanhe's meeting with the two Hong Kong tycoons made Zhong Lifeng a little uneasy in the capital. Jiahe's merger and acquisition has always been an important part of Zhong Lifeng's layout.

After winning Jiahe, Chuhe Film and Television will have an extremely solid foundation and heritage. At the same time, it can also use Jiahe's theater system to expand domestically. She has been preparing for this for nearly two years.

Market research, talent reserves, rectification plans, etc. have basically taken shape, and we are waiting for the opportunity to make the final decision.

The outcome of this meeting between Shanhe and Shanhe is crucial!

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhong Lifeng finally received a call from Shanhe.

A few minutes later, Zhong Lifang put down the phone, raised her fist and waved it vigorously in the air several times, and then called her secretary into the office.

"Inform the whole company of a meeting. We need to establish a new department. In two days, I need to form the most capable team. Let's go to Hong Kong Island!"

…

After Shan He completed his biggest purpose of coming to Hong Kong Island, he began to deal with media interviews and theater road shows with ease.

Hong Kong Island's paparazzi lived up to its reputation. The meeting between Shanhe and two veteran tycoons was revealed the next day.

Two photos of Shanhe entering Lu Yu's teahouse and Zou Wenhuai and Li Jiacheng walking out of Lu Yu's teahouse were published in gossip weeklies and news newspapers.

Although the content is pure speculation, it is close to the truth.

"Shanhe is drinking tea with the two big guys, and Jiahe may become his boss in one day!"

"I am a big boss! Shanhe comes to Hong Kong for Jiahe!"

"The legend has come to an end, the glory has passed, the literary mind has become a sentiment, the genius has risen, the majestic figure has emerged, the Jiahe has become the Chuhe River!"

…

The news that Chuhe Film and Television intends to acquire Golden Harvest is not a secret. It has been reported in Hong Kong Island before, but this meeting between Shanhe and two Hong Kong Island tycoons made the matter suddenly aroused.

Golden Harvest Film and Television is an indelible memory for Hong Kong Islanders. Although everyone knows that Golden Harvest's decline is inevitable, the moment it actually changed hands, it still triggered a lot of discussion.

The focus of the reporter's interview with Shanhe also shifted from "Moon" to Jiahe.

Shanhe has experienced how difficult it is for reporters on Hong Kong Island. No matter where he is on Hong Kong Island, no matter what he is doing, several reporters will pop up to ask Shanhe questions or take photos, which is extremely annoying!

Although he has repeatedly avoided talking about this topic, speculation and incitement in the gossip media are still endless!

It does take a certain amount of endurance for public figures to live in this place with almost no privacy.

Fortunately, Shanhe only stayed in Hong Kong Island for two days!

When Zhong Lifeng arrived in Hong Kong with his team, Shanhe was about to return to Beijing.

After two days of indiscriminate bombardment by the Hong Kong media, Shanhe finally completed his ten-day East Asia roadshow and embarked on a flight back to Beijing.

At this time, the second week box office data of "Moon" was also released.

The seven-day box office in North America in the second week was 24 million US dollars, still ranking second this week, but the gap with the first place "The Grudge 2" has narrowed to less than 8 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office in ten days is 41.5 million US dollars. .

"Moon" continues to dominate the charts in European countries, and its good reputation keeps audiences enthusiastic about watching the movie. The total box office in seven days is US$28 million, and the cumulative box office in ten days is close to US$50 million.

"Moon" has the fastest growth in the neon movie market. It should be the effect caused by Shanhe's actions in neon. The box office in the second week was twice as high as that in the first week, with 1.25 billion yen, equivalent to Nearly 10 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 1.88 billion yen in ten days, equivalent to 15 million U.S. dollars.

Domestic sales exceeded 100 million in the second week, with 110 million yuan. Not only did it eclipse the first two Hollywood blockbusters, but even the newly released "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" only received less than 12 million yuan. box office.

The news that "Moon" broke three Hollywood blockbusters has been widely circulated in China.

The cumulative box office in ten days was 190 million yuan, just one step away from breaking 200 million yuan.

The box office in Hong Kong this week also exceeded 10 million, with a cumulative box office of 18 million Hong Kong dollars in ten days and 58 million NT dollars in Taiwan.

Including the box office in Southeast Asia, Brazil and South Africa, the global box office of "Moon" exceeded 100 million US dollars in ten days, reaching about 133 million US dollars!

This figure is not far from the US$170 million earned by Zhang Yi's "Hero".

Shanhe should really thank that neon right-wing young man who lost his shoe. His random throw increased the global box office of "Moon" by more than 10%, and it is still working!

Shanhe’s two neon tours both yielded unexpected results.

Yang Liu was looking at the box office report of "Moon" on the plane, and he was so happy that he couldn't laugh or cry. This is really a black man with countless fans!

Hathaway is no match for this neon right-wing youth!

The more than three-hour journey from Hong Kong Island to Beijing was filled with joy and smiles.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shanhe returned to the familiar capital. The bird's-eye view of the entire capital from the plane made Shanhe feel the familiarity he had not seen for a long time, and he became more and more comfortable and happy.

As soon as they left the airport, Shanhe and his group were surrounded by reporters and fans who came to pick them up.

Perhaps because there have been so many reports about Shanhe during this period, more fans and reporters came this time than usual.

Shanhe was in a very good mood at the moment, and felt particularly cordial when he saw domestic reporters.

"Everyone, please don't gather around the airport entrance. Let's walk to the side and I'll try my best to meet everyone's requests, okay?"

After a while, a large group of people followed the mountains and rivers to the open space on the edge.

Shanhe signed autographs for fans and answered questions from reporters.

"Shanhe, is the news reported by Hong Kong Island media true? Chuhe Film and Television will acquire Hong Kong Island Golden Harvest Pictures?"

"Shan He, "Moon" has a box office of more than 130 million US dollars in its first week. Are you confident in breaking the box office record of "Hero"?"

"Shanhe, "Moon" defeated the blockade of Hollywood blockbusters. When do you think Chinese movies can confront Hollywood head-on?"

…

"Chuhe Film and Television has the intention to acquire Golden Harvest Pictures, but the matter has not been finalized yet. The box office of "Moon" was a bit beyond my expectation. My luck is really good. As for fighting against Hollywood movies, this is not a short-term The foundation of the domestic film industry is still far from achieving the goal that can be achieved within the country..."

It took Shanhe an hour or so to deal with the reporters, and the fans were very sympathetic to Shanhe's hard work. After waving goodbye to everyone, Shanhe got in the car and returned to the courtyard he had not seen for a long time.

The ten-day road show in East Asia made Shanhe mentally exhausted. As soon as he got home, he checked with his family that he was safe, washed up, and then fell asleep on the sofa.

The next day, Shanhe ran to the Olympic opening ceremony preparation office in high spirits. He had always been thinking about the fireworks he had been participating in.

The surprise that this Olympic Games has given the world since the beginning cannot be erased because of him!

What makes Shanhe happy is that although Fireworks Bigfoot has not yet taken shape, the problem has been found through repeated experiments.

As long as the delayed discharge of gunpowder in the air can be controlled, the entire Bigfoot can be vividly displayed in the air. The team has already contacted the Beijing Military Factory, and the specially customized fireworks bombs can be tested next month.

Shanhe arrived just in time, and the team was discussing the choice between Shanhe and Chai Guoqiang.

Shanhe's 29 Bigfoots and Chai Guoqiang's 205 Bigfoots each have their supporters.

After everyone finished expressing their opinions, Zhang Yimou said to the two of them: "Shanhe just happened to be back, and you two creatives also want to share your thoughts."

Chai Guoqiang shook his head and said: "I have nothing to say, everyone has said it for me!"

Shanhe looked at the members on the conference table and said: "This plan cannot be implemented by us alone. It is estimated that we will need the cooperation of the public security, fire protection and other departments to arrange the fireworks display points. There are 205 large fireworks display points." Feet are coming towards the bird's nest from all directions, how to consider security issues, this plan is unrealistic!"

As soon as Shanhe's words came out, everyone was stunned. Yes, we didn't consider such an intuitive question!

Shanhe continued: "My idea is that since the number is small, we will make the fireworks bigger, so that the effect will be more obvious and the live broadcast picture will be more shocking!"

"Shanhe is thoughtful, Guoqiang, your plan is indeed not practical, we all ignored it!"

Chai Guoqiang also nodded in agreement: "I did not consider this issue. Shanhe's idea is very good. Making the fireworks bigger is indeed a good idea. Our fireworks team will continue to advance in this direction!"

After the meeting, Zhang Yimou took Shanhe to his director's office.

"Shan He, congratulations! It seems that "Moon" can really break the record of "Hero". You are truly a blessed general!"

Shanhe unceremoniously took out the tea leaves from Zhang Yi's desk and started making tea, "I have to thank Hathaway and the little guy who threw the shoe at me this time. I really didn't expect that I could become famous all over the world with this." world!"

"Haha..." Zhang Yimou joked with a smile, "Knowing that this trick works, I will also arrange for someone to throw shoes at me in the future!"

"Senior brother, you can't do it, haven't you heard what everyone on the Internet said, this is my family's kung fu, the only one I have!" Shanhe said with a smile.

"I'm not going to bullshit you anymore!" Zhang Yimou took the teacup handed over by Shan He, "President Han came to see me two days ago. Next year will be the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. The General Administration requested to make a film that would have a bigger response. I’m sure I won’t be able to spare the time for the anti-Japanese themed video, so he’ll probably have to find you!”

"Look for me!" Shanhe looked at Zhang Yimou and said, "It's my turn. Senior Brother Chen, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen and the others are standing in front!"

"As soon as "Moon" was released, you are no longer what you used to be. The three of them are not suitable. Brother Kai has not recovered his strength. It is said that Feng Xiaogang is already preparing a new film. It is also a war film, but it is not about anti-Japanese themes. Jiang Wen Not to mention, he and Zhongying can't urinate in the same pot, and it looks like it's probably you!" Zhang Yimou said, taking a sip of tea.

After listening to this, Shan He looked at Zhang Yimou. Speaking of anti-Japanese films, he immediately thought of Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" and "Above the Cliff".

He definitely couldn't film "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". The scene was too big and he couldn't control it!

"Above Suspense" is a good idea, but Shanhe feels a little guilty for committing a crime in front of the original author!

Zhang Yi looked at Shan He and didn't reply. He thought he was stumped by the news, so he said, "Shan He, I have an idea. It's your novel "Cliff". I've actually always wanted to make a spy movie. , your "Cliff" is very suitable. The scene is not big, and the heavy snow in your book is used throughout the whole movie. It is not difficult to make up a moving story with your brain!"

"Ah!" Shanhe was really shocked by Zhang Yimou's words at this moment, and he was also a little moved. Zhang Yimou really regarded himself as a little brother. He was very caring and sincere to him, and even shared his creative ideas.

Forget it, no one can copy his!

"Brother, since you have an idea, I will keep "Cliff" for you, and I will think about it here! Anyway, there is still time, and Mr. Han hasn't come to me yet, maybe Mr. Han wants to do it by himself. !”

Zhang Yimou raised his head and looked at Shanhe, and suddenly laughed, "You guys are serious, okay, just be careful, Han Shanping can't get in, he probably forgot how to hold the camera, 80% of this matter has to be handed over In your hands!"

"I know! Senior brother, come to my place for a quick meal at noon. I've brought something for you, my sister-in-law and the children, and I'll take them all away soon!"

"Okay! I won't be polite to you anymore, let's go!"

…

After sending Zhang Yi away, Shanhe thought about the anti-Japanese-themed film he mentioned. He was not sure about war films, and spy war-themed films were indeed the best choice.

Searching my memory, "The Wind", "The Wind Listener" and a literary movie "I'm Not Wang Mao" jumped out.

Among the three films, "I Am Not Wang Mao" left the deepest impression on Shanhe. It is a very good anti-Japanese film. Most of the film is in black and white. Only at the end does it have color. Humanity during the Anti-Japanese War. The performance is clear at a glance.

It’s a pity that it has too few commercial elements!

"The Sound of the Wind" and "The Listener of the Wind" are both adapted from the Mai family's novel "The Sound of the Wind". I wonder if the novel has already been completed?

Shanhe felt that he needed to go to Mai's house!
