Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

After Shanhe returned to Beijing, the Mai family's words kept ringing in his ears. "The Sound of the Wind" was originally just a task and came passively. Shanhe's original mentality was just to complete the task and reshoot "The Sound of the Wind" exactly as it was!

But several words from the Mai family greatly touched Shanhe, which changed Shanhe's attitude.

No matter when the country is surviving or dying, or when it is rising peacefully, countless people are working on their dedication and selflessness. This is the glory and pride of the Chinese nation. This is touching and passionate!

With this touch and passion, Shanhe began the preparations for "The Wind". He began to draw the pictures in his mind one by one in the form of a lens script.

He needs comparison and thinking. He wants to make this story more immersive and bring his touch and passion to every audience.

The theme of the main theme movie is very rigid and high-end, but it does not mean that it must be dogmatic in indoctrination. The main theme can also be beautiful, and it can also show the film industry.

Shanhe put aside his complacency and flattery and devoted himself to the conception of "The Sound of the Wind".

In mid-November, the short autumn in Beijing ended, and heavy snow covered the earth like a white quilt.

At this time, the domestic box office of "Moon" exceeded 300 million, and the global box office exceeded 200 million US dollars.

This news not only caused crazy reports and praise from domestic media, but also caused widespread publicity and praise from foreign reporters!

Various titles on the domestic Internet and in newspapers and magazines are given to Shanhe for free.

Titles such as "Literary Genius", "King of Entertainment" and "Light of China" can be seen everywhere.

Overseas, Shanhe has once again become famous, especially in Hollywood. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was released in November after "Moon" and immediately swept the global film market.

Shanhe's works almost dominated the last quarter of 2006.

The names of "Box Office Machine" and "Magician of the Far East" are once again resounding around the world.

This time, the Hollywood media gave Shanhe a new title "China Lion"!

Combining him with Disney's classic animation and the rise of China,

The sleeping lion of China has awakened, and Shanhe is one of its representatives!

These icing on the cake, the compliments and praises only made Shanhe happy for two days, and the busy work overwhelmed his complacency again.

Although the script has not yet come out, the crew of "The Wind" has basically taken shape. Everyone in Dormitory 203 has long been excited by the results of "Moon". As soon as they heard that Shanhe's new film was about to be released, they started to scream. Preparations began.

Following Shanhe's request, several people started to choose the scene separately.

The most important location in "The Wind" is Qiuzhuang, an independent Chinese-style castle near the sea. It is estimated that there is no ready-made location in China that can meet the requirements for this location, so it is necessary to find a place to temporarily build it.

Indoor scenes are easier to find. There are many old buildings from the Republic of China in the old concessions of the old society. "The Sound of the Wind" needs to be luxurious and spacious enough.

The props and costumes of the Republic of China also needed to be customized, especially the cheongsams of the two heroines. For this reason, he asked Chuhe Film and Television to contact Zhang Shuping, the art director of "In the Mood for Love".

Shanhe needs to express the softness of Chinese women to the fullest, in order to contrast the tenacity hidden under the softness, so that the audience can see their beauty and greatness from the outside to the inside!

In addition, the film's special effects production Shanhe has also started making arrangements in advance. The beginning of the original film is very stunning.

A neon military plane passing by at low altitude passed through layers of clouds and fog, and then formed a big "wind sound" with great scenery!

Shanhe naturally retained this idea, and asked Colorful Light to make the title sequence exquisite and grand regardless of cost. He wanted the film to have the quality of a blockbuster from the beginning, so that the audience would be full of expectations for the film!

The entire production department of Chuhe Film and Television began to get busy around Shanhe's request for "The Wind"!

Shanhe needs to restore the Republic of China during the Wang Puppet period!

Time always flies by at work, and before we know it, it’s the day when Shanhe sets off for Taiwan.

This time "Moon" received seven Golden Horse Award nominations: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume and Best Visual Effects.

It can be said to be the biggest nominee for the Golden Horse Awards!

The crew and creators of "Moon" gathered together again after the Venice Film Festival and boarded a flight to Taiwan, with the Mai family in between.

For Shanhe, the Golden Horse Award is useless. He does not need or care about this kind of icing on the cake honor.

This time when he went to Taiwan, he paid more attention to meeting the prototype of "Gu Xiaomeng" with the Mai family.

In the first draft of Mai's "The Wind", Gu Xiaomeng was a rich girl who was brainwashed by neon, and she was an out-and-out traitor!

Shanhe knew that this was definitely not the case, but what exactly was the situation at that time and what did Gu Xiaomeng go through to survive? Shanhe was very curious.

Hearing the horror of the time described by the person involved was crucial to the filming of Shanhe!

At two o'clock in the afternoon on November 24, 2006, the flight taken by the "Moon" creative team arrived at Taoyuan Airport in Taiwan.

Unlike Shanhe's arrival more than a month ago, there were hundreds of reporters and fans outside the airport to greet Shanhe's arrival this time!

In the previous month, Shanhe was the most eye-catching figure in the world. Shanhe conquered Taiwan's two godfathers: Neon and Country M. To Taiwan's entertainment industry, he was simply a legendary figure!

Ever since Shanhe decided to come to Taiwan to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, the entire island has been paying attention to his arrival.

The Golden Horse Awards organizing committee also specially arranged a team to greet the "Moon" team at the airport.

When the group walked out of the airport, they were immediately surrounded by reporters and fans at the door.

Shanhe waved to the fans and apologized amidst the cheers. With the help of two teams, he was able to get on the bus.

After a night's rest, Shanhe and the Mai family drove to Keelung City, not far away, the next morning, where Gu Xiaomeng's prototype was located.

The car soon drove into a bamboo forest on the outskirts of Keelung and stopped in front of a somewhat grand but old villa.

A young woman was waiting at the door. Shanhe and Shanhe were welcomed by her as soon as they got off the car.

"Shanhe, I'm glad to see you. My grandma heard that you will come too. She was very happy. She has always paid attention to the news in mainland China. She likes you very much and said that you are a treasure born of Chinese culture!"

"That's ridiculous!"

The three of them walked into the lobby of the villa while chatting, and an old lady with silver hair but still noble and elegant appeared in Shanhe's eyes, wearing a black embroidered cheongsam.

It can be seen that she has been carefully dressed up. Although she is in her twilight years, she is still in good spirits!

"Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Qiu Shanhe, from Fujian Province in China!"

"Mr. Gu, my name is Jiang Benhu, and my pen name is Mai Jia. I'm from the same hometown as you, from Zhejiang Province!"

The old lady knew the reason for their visit, but she was not unhappy at all. Her smile filled every wrinkle on her face.

"I know you, Shanhe. I have always followed you, and I am an old fan of your books! Maijia, I have also read your novels. Except for the fact that I was written as a traitor, everything else is good! Come in and sit down, Xiao Rui, go Serve tea and snacks to the guests!”

Shan He and Mai Jia looked at each other, and sat opposite her according to the old man's wishes.

It can be seen that the old man is in a very good mood and talks a lot, "I am very happy to know that you are coming today. One is a rising figure in China, and the other is a fellow countryman who misses Sister Yu. I have not worn a cheongsam for several years. , but I have to dress up today, and I have to look like myself in the eyes of the younger generations of China!"

Shanhe looked at the old man who was the prototype of Gu Xiaomeng in front of him. From her words, you can feel her persistence and principles.

"Mr. Gu, these are the gifts we brought you. They are all specialties from our hometown, Longjing tea, Dingsheng cake, and scallion pancake!" The Mai family put the gift box in their hands on the table.

"Oh! It's all because I like your stuff, thank you, you guys are so considerate!"

After a while, the old man's granddaughter Xiaorui made tea for the two of them and served snacks.

"Thank you!" Shanhe said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, I came with you this time because I want to put Mai's "The Wind" on the big screen. I was moved by his story and felt that it was necessary to show it to the whole China. The future generations will remember the sacrifices of the martyrs, can you tell us about the situation at that time?"

Shanhe's question made the old man's expression darken. He was silent for a while and said with some excitement: "These things have been spinning in my mind all my life. The older I get, the clearer they become. Sister Yu's death seems like yesterday! "

Xiao Rui quickly sat down next to the old man, "Grandma, didn't you agree that you won't be excited? Speak slowly!"

The old man patted his granddaughter sitting next to him, "I was younger than Xiao Rui back then. Before the Neon People came, I was a daughter of a rich family in Hangzhou and a student! Mai, what you wrote is right. I I am a girl from a rich family, but I am not a traitor!"

The old man paused for a moment and continued: "In 1938, I joined the military and lurked in the enemy's hinterland. In 1940, I received an order to wake up, codenamed 'Xiaoqing', and was ordered to use my family to break into the Wang Puppet Machine. In the important department, there I met Sister Yu, who is Li Ningyu in your novel. She is different from me, she is a veteran confidential officer and a master of deciphering. At first, I got close to her to get information. , she should have been aware of me a long time ago. It is precisely because of this that our relationship is very good, and my intelligence work has been going very smoothly because of her. Until that day, we were both under house arrest in the small building by Fei Yuan. inside!"

The old man drank some water, still with a hint of uneasiness, "I thought I was exposed at the time. Although I was calm on the surface, I was very scared. I was ready to face death, but I was still afraid. Fei Yuan was a master of interrogation, and he began to They did not execute Sister Yu and I, but kept summoning us and intimidating us with threats and Wu Zhiguo's wailing. Jin Shenghuo was a coward, and he was so frightened that he shot himself in the head within two days.

You can't understand that kind of fear. Death is always following me in the back of my head. I would rather it stand in front of my eyes. After a few days, my emotions reached the edge of collapse. At this time, Sister Yu attacked me and killed me. After being tied up in the bathroom, she revealed my identity in one sentence, and then told me everything. She was the 'old ghost' Feiyuan was looking for.

At this time, our hope of survival was already very small, but the task of the intelligence agent was to spread the information. She told me the information and left me with the chance of survival.

She was very calm and told me: Your identity has not been exposed. You have a higher chance of living than me. After I die, you have a chance to live. Hold on. Death is not terrible. Living requires more courage than dying. Pass the information on. !

Then she walked out of the bathroom right in front of me! "

The old man wiped the turbid tears from the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, "I always remember the scene when she left. It was the last time I saw her. It was her death that made me strengthen my belief and persisted until the end. Sister Yu was proved to be After the 'Old Ghost', I was released, and I handed the information to the underground party according to Sister Yu's instructions. Perhaps because I survived that harsh interrogation, I was lucky enough to persist until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War!"

The old man's calm narration still contained that kind of white terror. She said everything in a very simple way, but both of them knew that the experience of coming out of the small building must not be as simple as the old man said!

Shanhe looked with admiration at this old lady who was still in her twilight years but still beautifully dressed. She was a living hero!

He even imagined in his mind how she looked when she was young wearing a cheongsam. She must have been elegant, beautiful and graceful!

After thinking about it for a while, the Mai family replied: "Mr. Gu, I believe what you said. You are a hero, but why is there another version in Professor Pan's mouth?"

After listening to the questions from the Mai family, the old man looked even sadder, "That kid hated me. He has always been prejudiced against me. Things were very complicated at that time. I can't explain clearly, and I don't want to. I'm sorry for him, and I owe him His! I can accept whatever criticism he has against me, but he cannot say that I am a traitor. As a dying man, I don’t care about these things, but this is related to the lives of many people. In order for me to live, they all died calmly. , including Sister Yu, if I am a traitor, it would be unfair to them!"

Shan He and Mai Jia looked at each other and could probably guess the relationship between the old man and Professor Pan.

The Mai family quickly stood up and bowed to apologize: "Mr. Gu, Professor Pan didn't say you were a traitor, it's just that the way the information came out was different. The novel was all made up by me. I apologize to you!"

"He who doesn't know is not guilty!" The old lady looked a little tired, but still tenacious, "I like it very much if you write about Sister Yu. Shanhe, I also like it when you film Sister Yu, as long as you don't describe Gu Xiaomeng as a traitor. , you can adapt this character at will, I think I should be able to see your novels and movies, and living as hard as I can has become my obsession!"

The two people understood the old man's obsession and nodded silently.

Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the villa without communicating. They got in the car silently and left the old but still grand villa.

The Mai family was touched by Mrs. Gu's words, and as soon as they returned to the hotel, they immediately fell into the rewriting and creation of "The Sound of the Wind".

The same goes for Shan He. Until the award ceremony started, Mrs. Gu's words kept echoing in Shan He's mind.

Although she didn't say much, Shanhe could imagine how much she had sacrificed to serve the country and the nation. She might not be a good daughter or a good mother.

But she must be a Chinese hero!

"Boss, it's your turn!"

After being reminded by Yang Liu, Shanhe came to his senses. The red carpet ceremony of the Golden Horse Awards had come to an end, and Shanhe appeared as the last one in the finale!

This time Shanhe rejected his female companion and walked onto the red carpet alone.

The red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards was no different from any other. Reporters and fans shouted at different levels. Shan He smiled and waved to the fans on both sides, walking across the red carpet at a slow pace.

He didn't pay much attention to the reporters' questions and requests. He just smiled and nodded to them. After walking across the red carpet and casually dismissing the two entangled off-site hosts, Shanhe walked into the venue.

Under the guidance of the hostess, he sat in the middle of the first row, surrounded by well-known directors and actors.

Hou Hsiao-hsien, Johnnie To, Peter Chan, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Aaron Kwok and so on.

Shanhe said hello to his colleagues, then said hello to Zhou Xun and other mainland actors, then sat on a chair and waited for the awards ceremony to begin.

The on-site hosts of the Golden Horse Awards were Cai Kangyong and Patty Hou. The two rode horses onto the stage and joked about Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain", and also brought Shan He's "Moon" in the middle.

Shan He smiled calmly on the surface, but in his heart he was complaining. Cai Kangyong, you should dress up as a horse, and Patty Hou's Taiwanese Mandarin is really unbearable, giving me goosebumps!

With the two chattering, the award ceremony began.

Different from the conciseness of the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Horse Awards scene was full of tricks, with various programs interspersed among them. It took more than half an hour to get the first award nomination for "Moon".

The Best Visual Effects Award went to "Moon" without any suspense.

Next, the best look did not fail, but Bai Yuxia once again missed the opportunity to appear on the stage. The best photography was won by Bao Dexi of "If Love".

The Best Original Screenplay Award was undoubtedly won by "Moon". Shanhe took to the stage for the first time tonight.

Taking the trophy from award-winning guest Coco Lee, Coco Lee gave Shan He a gentle hug. Shan He looked at the sexy Hong Kong queen with a smile, "Thank you!"

He didn’t have much excitement or speech. He just raised the trophy slightly to the audience and said with a smile amidst the applause and cheers: “Thank you everyone. I am very happy to win the award. Thank you to all the book fans who have always supported me. My trophy is It’s your glory, it’s you who allow me to enjoy the glory!”

Shan He came off the stage amidst the screams of book fans, and after Jay Chou came on stage to sing a song, the Best Actress award was won by Zhou Xun for her wonderful performance in "If Love".

The best actor award was also won by Tony Leung Ka-fai from "Moon" without any objection.

So far, "Moon" has been nominated for five and won four awards.

Finally, there are two awards left: Best Director and Best Film.

Competing with Shan He's "Moon" are Chen Kexin's "If Love" and "Father and Son" starring Aaron Kwok!

In fact, everyone has basically guessed that as long as Shanhe comes to the scene, these two awards will most likely be awarded to Shanhe's "Moon"!

After all, the results of "Moon" were so brilliant that it almost conquered the world.

The Golden Horse Awards will not be so abusive. If these two awards were not awarded to Shanhe, I guess the media tomorrow will criticize the organizing committee to the end!

The following television broadcast barely left Guo Shanhe's face.

As expected, "Moon" won two of the biggest awards.

The Best Director award was presented to Shan He by Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Chin. After Shan He thanked the two guests, he also only slightly raised the trophy.

"I was a little nervous to receive this trophy. "Moon" is my second film, and my directing skills are still very immature. I took some tricks when shooting "Moon". There were few scenes and few characters. Brother Jiahui's performance alone was outstanding. I have supported the entire movie, so I will consider this award as an encouragement to me. I will continue to work hard and strive to make better movies! Thank you to everyone who supports me, and thank you to my family!"

For the Best Film Award, Shanhe brought the entire team to the stage, and Bai Yuxia finally took the trophy from the jury chairman Zhang Changyan.

Shanhe's speech was also very relaxed, "This is our cinematographer Bai Yuxia, who is my college roommate. He was very unlucky and failed to get on the stage twice. His outstanding contribution is included in the Best Film trophy. This time Let him have a great time!”

After a burst of laughter, Shanhe continued: "Most of our team are newcomers to Chinese-language films. Over the past year, the box office and quality of Chinese-language films have been getting better. As a new director, I am not optimistic about the future of Chinese-language films. I am very optimistic that there will be more and more newcomers like us. I believe that Chinese-language films will usher in their own glory in the future, and Chinese culture will also spread around the world! Thank you!"

"Moon" became the biggest winner at the 43rd Golden Horse Awards, winning six out of seven nominations!

Shanhe won his first director award, although he felt a little guilty about winning this award. The reason was mostly because of his fame and the global box office of "Moon"!

The brilliant "Father and Son" in the original time and space only won one Best Supporting Actor, Aaron Kwok was slapped out of the Golden Horse Award by Shan He!

What is surprising is that the results of "Moon" did not cause any big waves on the Internet and the public.

Although the media reports are overwhelming, it seems that the public has recently become accustomed to a feast of mountains and rivers causing trouble.

News such as winning awards and breaking records has made everyone tired.

The news that "Moon" swept the Golden Horse Awards was expected by the public. Even Shanhe's fans' comments online were indifferent.

“‘Moon’ has no rivals in China, that’s normal!”

“Does Shanhe need a Golden Horse Award?”

"Routine operation!"

"I've watched the video of Shanhe picking up shoes countless times, and I can still laugh out loud!"

"Upstairs, you are off topic!"

…

Shanhe didn't feel too happy after winning the award. His biggest purpose in coming to Taiwan was not to win the award, but to get Mrs. Gu's answer!

After dealing with the media and the organizing committee, Shanhe and his team returned to Beijing the next day.

As soon as I got off the plane at Beijing International Airport, I received a call from Zhang Yimou.

The plan for the Olympic opening ceremony was rejected by the Olympic Organizing Committee!

The idea of ​​four great inventions as the axis was rejected!

Shanhe hung up the phone and sighed, as expected!
