Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Zeng Li is the biggest beneficiary among the three leading actors in "Painted Skin".

Through this role, she completely completed the transition from television to film.

The audience favorability and national popularity accumulated by "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Wulin Gaiden" were quickly realized.

Remuneration and endorsements have skyrocketed, and she is on track to catch up with a few big names, and the shackles of her past image have been completely broken.

Her past disadvantages have even turned into advantages. Her pointed chin, long and thin face, and natural Tsing Yi temperament give her a wide range of acting options.

Whether it is a positive character or a villain, there is no sense of violation in ancient costume or urban themes.

Zeng Li, who has just turned 30, has entered her golden period as an actress. Shanhe's initial advice to her was perfectly confirmed. Acting is the key to changing everything!

The popularity of "Painted Skin" has also benefited a lot from "The Wind" which has not yet been released. With the same two heroines and the same screenwriter Shanhe, the public's expectations for "The Wind" are skyrocketing.

At this time, Shanhe was neither paying attention to the popularity of "Painted Skin" nor thinking about the filming of "The Wind".

Something else caught his attention.

It all starts with the gathering between the Magic City and Qin Haiyang's family.

Qin Nan's leukemia has been cured, but as a former family member of a leukemia patient, Qin Nan has many patients and is well-informed about the leukemia community.

During the chat after dinner, the two Qin Nan brothers told Shan He anecdotes about the recent hot topics in the leukemia circle.

"Medicine God" Chen Yong appears!

In the past two years, the drug "Gleevec" produced by the Swiss company Novartis specifically for chronic myelogenous leukemia entered the Chinese market.

It is a specific drug for chronic myelogenous leukemia, which can greatly alleviate the patient's condition, greatly extend the patient's life, and allow leukemia patients to live, work and study like normal people.

However, the price of "Gleevec" in Switzerland is as high as 23,000 yuan per box, and one box is about a month's supply. Most families of patients cannot afford it. There are many people who have gone bankrupt just to buy medicines!

Just last year, a pirated version of "Gleevec" produced in India appeared. There was almost no difference in efficacy, but the price was only a quarter of the genuine drug!

And the price seems to have been falling, and it is said that it only costs 1,000 boxes now.

This news spread like a legend among leukemia patients.

Although no one knows who is smuggling this drug for everyone, the patients call this atypical drug dealer the "medicine god"!

Shanhe naturally knew who the "God of Medicine" mentioned by the Qin Haiyang brothers was. He once looked up the real events because of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in his memory.

"Medicine God" Chen Yong will be arrested in a few years, and his story will be known to the world in ten years, which will accelerate the reform of the medical insurance system to a certain extent!

Thinking of this incident and the movie, Shanhe was very emotional. The real and fake drug dealer played by Wang Yanhui in the movie was right when he said, "There is only one disease in the world that has no cure, and that is the disease of poverty!"

To be honest, he really wanted to write this incident into a novel and make it into a movie, but everything was out of place.

Coincidentally, a similar incident also happened in Country M. There is a Country M movie "Dallas Buyers Club" in Shanhe's memory, and its plot is similar to "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Full of ruthless mockery of reality!

Shanhe vaguely remembered that it was also adapted from real events, and Shanhe had the idea of ​​writing it into a novel.

But this was all still being conceived. After thinking for a long time, he picked up the phone and dialed Bruckheimer's number.

As soon as the phone call came through, Bruckheimer's voice came from the phone like a firecracker.

"Qiu, I was just about to call you, and your call came. Look, we have the same spiritual connection, and we are such a perfect match! I have two pieces of good news to tell you now. I guarantee that in five minutes, Qi will be in a good mood. I will be very happy!”

"Okay! Jerry, please finish your good news first. I have other things to ask you for!"

"Listen up, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" has exceeded one billion US dollars at the global box office, fuck, one billion US dollars, Qiu, this is our first movie to exceed one billion US dollars, and it is also the fourth movie in the world to exceed one billion US dollars. US-dollar movies, "Titanic", "Star Wars: The Prequels", "Lord of the Rings 3", and then there is us, Qiu, we have become a legend in Hollywood! Did you know that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" will be released next summer? It’s released, and we’ll continue to hit one billion, which is incredible!”

"This is indeed good news, Jerry. The important thing is that we all made money!"

"Fuck, Qiu, can you be more excited? This is an honor that money can't buy, but you are right, we are making crazy money! Disney is also making crazy money!"

"Is this the good news you said?" Shanhe said calmly.

"Yu, your tone is really driving me crazy! Well, here's another good news, Moon is nominated for three Oscars, Best Original Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Actor. Yau, you You have to thank me, I have contributed to these three nominations, and I will continue to help you with your public relations. There is no chance for Best Actor, but for Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film, we will fully support you!"

"Thanks! This means I have to go to Hollywood in March, right?"

"Qiu, you won't be absent, right! I've finished telling you the good news. Now you can tell me the purpose of your call."

"Okay, Jerry, I need you to help me check on a person. I don't know his name, but he is a deceased AIDS patient. He should have had a lawsuit with the Drug Administration of M over the drug bill for the treatment of AIDS. He It seems to have saved many AIDS patients!”

"Wait a minute, I think I've heard of this guy, but I can't remember when. Qiu, if you investigated whether he was writing novels or making movies, this is really another piece of good news!" Bruckheimer said in a tone of voice. With excitement.

"Write a novel first, then make a movie! What do you think?"

"Great! Qiu, do you plan to direct it yourself?"

"I have this plan, but I have to see this person's complete experience first."

"No problem, Qiu, I will give you all his information within three days. If you need it, I can even help you find out what color underwear he liked to wear before!"

"OK, please Jerry, we'll see you at the Oscars next month!"

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

Shanhe hung up the phone. The good news about Bruckheimer was indeed good. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" was as expected a global hit. However, it was Shanhe's first time for the fourth film he mentioned to have exceeded one billion US dollars. It is said that.

In Shanhe's memory, there are many movies that have exceeded one billion US dollars, but at this time, there are only four. There is still a lot of room for the capacity of the movie market, not only domestically, but also abroad!

The Oscar nomination for "Moon" is also good. Is Tony Leung the first Chinese actor to be nominated for Best Actor?

According to Bruckheimer, the possibility of him winning the prize is quite high. It is estimated that when the news breaks out in two days, he will get a lot of praise!

His luck is indeed amazing, and he has the aura of becoming famous!

Two days later, news spread around the world that "Moon" had been nominated for three Oscars.

As expected, Liang Jiahui and Shan He once again became the darlings of the media, especially Liang Jiahui, who was the first domestic actor to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.

At this time, the Chinese film industry still admires Hollywood. After all, it is the center of global film production and distribution, and the Oscar, as the highest honor for Hollywood films, is full of gold!

The media couldn't find Shanhe. In addition to constantly adding various titles to his head, they could only gather around the entrance of Chuhe Film and Television to harass the company's staff, especially Shanhe's manager Yang Liu.

"Yang Liu, how likely is Shanhe to win the award this time? Can we win a statuette for a Chinese film?"

""Moon" has achieved such a brilliant record, does "The Wind" also have such hope?"

"Yangliu, how does Shanhe feel about being nominated for an Oscar? How did he feel after hearing the news?"

…

"Dear reporters, Shanhe is nominated for an Oscar. This is an honor for Chinese films. Of course he is very happy, but now he can't pay attention to it. He has too much work. In his words: It's best to win an award. But making a movie is not just about winning awards, the most important thing is to be recognized by the public..."

As Yang Liu said, Shanhe really didn't have time to pay attention to these icing on the cake. He was currently looking at the information Bruckheimer sent him.

The prototype character in "Dallas Buyers Club" is Ron Woodroof.

In 1985, he was diagnosed with late-stage AIDS and was told that he only had thirty days to live.

The drug AZT he was taking was the only AIDS treatment drug legally approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration of the United States) at that time. Unfortunately, this drug made his condition deteriorate faster and was extremely expensive.

In order to survive, he began to research various anti-AIDS drugs and alternative therapies that were not approved by the authorities, and even illegally smuggled various anti-AIDS drugs from all over the world. Many patients found Ron's hospital and sent them to I hope Ron Yu can find other drugs that can replace AZT (zidovudine) and more effective treatments.

Ron established an organization called the "Dallas Buyers Club" to provide club members with more drugs and treatments that can replace AZT at extremely low prices.

The club was quickly praised by patients across the country, and the number of members and demand for drugs increased significantly. This attracted the attention of the FDA and drug manufacturers, and they obstructed him in many ways.

Ron finally passed away in September 1992. From the day he was diagnosed with only 30 days to live until his death, he lived for a total of seven years. During these two thousand five hundred days, he continued to work tirelessly. We fought an extremely difficult battle against the disease, the FDA and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Ron Woodroof is the veritable "medicine god" of Country M. His drugs and treatments were eventually promoted by the Drug Administration of Country M, saving the lives of millions of people.

He used his desire to survive and his life to prove a truth to the world: kindness is the panacea for human life!

The information Bruckheimer sent him contained the life of Ron Woodroof, from his failed first half to his perseverance after diagnosis, his long-term confrontation with drug manufacturers and the Drug Administration of the United States, almost Every time he came back defeated, but he never gave up!

The information also contains various records of his friends and patients.

Shan He was extremely touched by what he saw. This lowly citizen of Country M had indeed burst out with the brilliance of God in his last seven years of life!

His dignity and life are so fragile, but he behaves so firmly and radiantly!

At this moment, Shanhe made up his mind to write this story. Everyone should read this story about the struggle between life, dignity and interests, and human nature. People should be touched by it and reflect on themselves, society, and human nature!

However, he had to finish the work at hand first, and the filming of "The Wind" was rescheduled.

After the Lantern Festival, the crew of "The Wind" regrouped.

At this time, "Painted Skin" has broken the domestic box office record of "Three Kingdoms: Battle of Red Cliff" and is gradually approaching 400 million box office.

The Asian box office of "Painted Skin" is also approaching 700 million yuan, slowly heading towards 100 million US dollars.

Shanhe + Xu Ke have created a phenomenal super domestic movie!

With "Painted Skin" becoming famous at the Asian box office, Chuhe Film and Television began distribution negotiations with European and American distributors.

Disney and Europa Pictures entered the fray as if they were determined to win.

Various news about "Painted Skin" have once again made headlines in the media.

Domestic film and television companies have started to develop various costume fantasy film projects like crazy, and the various ghost stories in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" have become the most popular!

It is inevitable to follow the trend, but most of them are TV series, and movies with real big investment have not appeared. Everyone knows that the film market in China is still growing, and the risks of big investment are extremely high!

The operation of Chuhe Film and Television is difficult to copy. They have complete distribution channels, and most importantly, there is the bug of Shanhe!

However, Colorful Light Studio is very popular, and the studio undertook part of the special effects production of "Painted Skin".

Their relatively low prices and domestically leading technology are proven in Painted Skin.

I’ve received so many special effects job offers that I can’t wait to get through them!

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the former site of Tianjin Wei's No. 1 Hotel was once again noisy. The staff of "The Wind" No. 100 were busy setting up the scene.

Several actors have also arrived and are paying New Year's greetings and congratulations to each other.

The two hot spots during this period are both in the crew. Everyone congratulates Shanhe, Zhou Xun and Zeng Li, and they also have a lot of envy and expectations.

Shan He is a natural hot spot maker. As long as you get involved with him, there will be no one who is not popular. "The Wind" looks like it is going to be a hit. You have to perform well this time. Everyone has confidence in themselves in terms of acting skills!

Perhaps it is because of this enthusiasm that the performances of several male actors were very smooth from the beginning, continuing their enthusiasm from the previous year.

But the heroines Zeng Li and Zhou Xun are stuck here. They are probably stunned by the amazing box office of "Painted Skin", and they are still floating in the clouds at the moment!

Not to mention Zeng Li, whose acting skills are not yet systematic, even Zhou Xun, who has always been so energetic, lost the brilliance in Gu Xiaomeng's eyes.

Two days before the filming resumed, Shanhe changed his caring attitude toward the heroine, and the focus of criticism shifted from Hu Ge to the two actresses.

"Ka! Sister Xun, what about the light in your eyes? Without this light, no matter how strange your expression is, Gu Xiaomeng is just a shell. What I need is firmness and openness in fear. She is not afraid of death, but she is not afraid of death. It means that she is not afraid, only fear can better show her perseverance! Come again!"

…

"Ka! Zhou Xun, come and see for yourself, what kind of bullshit are you acting? A "Painted Skin" made you confused? Has your aura been blown to the sky by the media?"

…

"Kah! Zeng Li, you have completely forgotten your promise to me. You are calling it "keep working hard". You have completely forgotten what kind of state Li Ningyu is in. She is a love brain, but not an idiot. Who does she care about? The old ghost also has her own judgment. She had strong doubts about Gu Xiaomeng from the beginning. She is not the Neon Man's dog, she is just an ordinary woman. In her opinion, being a confidential officer is just a job. Her heart is full of sympathy. And prefer the old ghost! You have to show this inner complexity, think about it yourself!"

…

While Shan He was losing his temper with the two heroines, the first big-name cameo in "The Wind" arrived. Jiang Wen walked up behind Shan He with glasses and a face full of teasing.

"Hey! Look, this is the aura of an Oscar-level director. It's awesome. I can feel it from ten meters away!"

Upon hearing this, Shanhe turned around and gave Jiang Wen a hug, and replied with a smile: "I don't dare to compare with you, Director Jiang. I have heard about your generosity. It cost nearly 100 million to make a literary film, and how much film was used." One hundred thousand feet, you are so awesome, I will have to learn from you anytime!"

"Come on! You're not much better than me. This whole house is full of antiques. I heard from Lao Ma that you don't even ask the price when buying things. You are a rich man. If you lose money this time, I will have to point to you to stand up in the future. !" Jiang Wen said, patting the antique table beside the mountain and river.

"Haha..." Shanhe laughed when he heard this. His luck was coming and he couldn't stop it. What is Jiang Wen's next drama?

"Let the bullets fly! "ah!

It is estimated that this is the movie that made him a lot of money in his life!

"Director Jiang, Mr. Jiang, Zi, if you dare to shoot me, I will follow you. I'll tell you the truth! That's interesting!"

"It's not bad!" Jiang Wen still looked arrogant, "Money is not much different from paper in Shanhe. Brother, I have helped you guest star several times. You will have to do the same in the future. Give me back!"

Shanhe responded with a wry smile: "I'm really bad at acting. When the camera is pointed at me, I become confused!"

"It's okay! When the time comes, I will arrange for you to play the role of a fool. You just need to show your true colors and just stand in front of the camera and smile stupidly!"

"Fuck you!"

Jiang smelled it, and of course he rushed to finish filming his scene, which also happened to allow the two heroines to calm down. After all, they were different from Hu Ge, and Shan He was not so easy to scold!

Jiang Wen's guest appearance as Commander Zhang is Bai Xiaonian's backstage, that is, he turned Bai Xiaonian from an actor into a secret secretary in disguise!

For a traitor, even his ancestors can be discarded, let alone a plaything!

According to Shanhe's understanding, Commander Zhang's military rank is much higher than that of Takeda. If he defends Bai Xiaonian to the death, Takeda will not dare to act recklessly!

But with just a few words from Takeda, Commander Zhang relented under pressure. This shows the plight and helplessness of the traitors. The Japanese will never take traitors seriously. No matter how high your rank is, you are still a dog!

The traitors are probably used to it!

After Shanhe and Jiang Wen finished talking about the play, Jiang Wen started to put on makeup. Jiang Wen only had a few scenes, but the performance space was not small. He was an old warlord in the old society and an old traitor who supported the actors. He and Chen Daoming , Wang Zhiwen, and Hu Ge all have opposite roles.

It can be said that he is a character with a lot of past!

Jiang Wen's performance is very unique. He is not full of evil spirits like Shi Zhaoqi in the original film.

There is no lack of evil spirit, but the fried dough atmosphere of some old warlords is added. He is fierce towards Wang Zhiwen, hesitant and dissatisfied towards Chen Daoming, who has a look of superiority, and shows a trace of reluctance towards Bai Xiaonian, with helplessness in his complicated eyes. And servility prevails!

Jiang Wen played Commander Zhang very well. On the surface, he looks like a hero, but at his core, he has been destroyed by the Japanese. Once a person kneels down, it is difficult to stand up again. Slavishness will become a habit!

In the few short scenes, several actors performed very well. Except for the first few scenes to adapt to the shooting, there were not many calls to stop. The acting was very smooth, and even Hu Ge performed well.

Looking up at Jiang Wen from the pool, his eyes were full of prayer, complaint, and hatred!

"Stuck!" As Shanhe shouted, Jiang Wen completed his cameo in an afternoon.

Jiang Wen left amidst the teasings of Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo and Wang Zhiwen. Before leaving, he also wished Shanhe a great success at the Oscars in disguise.

"Bring back an extra villain for me to play with, so that I can have more to talk about when I brag on TV in the future! Hollywood is normal to us! Just go there!"

Ha ha…

Next, the crew of "The Wind" adjusted the shooting plan in view of the actors' different conditions. After adjusting the originally planned group scenes, Hu Ge was in good condition, so we followed him first!

Then it was about grinding the two heroines, choosing the scene where Gu Xiaomeng helped Li Ningyu sew a cheongsam. Shan He stopped scolding and just let the two of them repeat it over and over again.

One day won't work, two days, two days won't work, three days will not work, Shanhe is not afraid of wasting film, and he will not give up until the impatience and restlessness in the two of them are worn away!

Now it was the turn of the two actresses to lose their temper. Zeng Li was more reserved and did not dare to express her anger to Shan He's face, but her face became increasingly ugly.

Zhou Xun was more exposed and started talking weird things from the second day on.

"Shanhe, you can't just let us rest for two days, we can adjust ourselves!"

"Shanhe, I don't think there is any problem. You are making things difficult for us!"

…

"Director Qiu, what are you going to do? I'm not a newbie. I don't need this lowest level of training!"

…

"I'm not going to act anymore. Do whatever you like!"

Shanhe didn't say much to her. He just said: You are an actor, and it is your responsibility to play a role well!

Then she asked the entire crew to wait for her to vent her emotions.

A week later, when Hu Ge's scene was almost finished, Shanhe invited the two of them to the director's office.

"Sister Xun, Zeng Li, how are you? Did you feel like this when you first debuted? You can scold me now, but you have to know that your current state is not right. You are all flashy, and you are all fooled by "Painted Skin" Yes, I know this feeling. According to common sense, you may be able to recover after adjusting for a while, but I still want to use this most primitive method to stimulate you. I am leaving for Hollywood tomorrow, and you have a week to calm down. And adjust, think clearly about the difference between actors and stars. Without outstanding roles or outstanding works, your faces will soon be forgotten by the public. These popularity are all illusory, and you will soon be replaced by others!"

Both of them are veterans and know that Shanhe is deliberately training the actors, but they are still full of resentment towards Shanhe. This is the first time that they have been treated like this!

Especially Zhou Xun, that is, Shanhe has enough weight, otherwise Zhou Xun would have stopped performing and left!

However, although Shanhe's method was rough, it was still effective. After the past few days of venting their anger and emotions, the two gradually fell from the sky.

They also know that Shanhe's words are absolutely correct. Without works, an actress's fame is only temporary, and you will soon be replaced by a large group of competitors who are eyeing you.

Zeng Li spoke first, "Shanhe, I will make adjustments, my promise will not change, and I will not let you down!"

Zhou Xun pulled Zeng Li aside and said, "Dalizi, didn't you agree to ignore him? It's not interesting that you betrayed the revolution so quickly!"

"Haha..." Shanhe laughed when he heard this, "Sister Xun, you are my biggest book fan. You have scolded me behind my back a lot in the past two days. Are you planning to lose your fandom?"

"Hmph! Shanhe, this is the first time I have experienced this kind of treatment, that is, you, otherwise this girl would have gone crazy! For the sake of "We Are Young People", I have learned a lesson this time!"

"You still have this book with you? Oh, you are really a die-hard book fan!" Shanhe said with a smile, "Then let me tell you some news! I have begun preparations for my new book, and I will start writing it after filming "The Wind" , how about you be the first to try it out when the time comes?"

"Really! This compensation is okay. What is the subject of the new book?"

"We can't say this, it's a secret!"

…

I was drunk at a party yesterday, and I actually remembered to post it on time after cutting off the video. It’s so sharp to get used to this!
