Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 286 Chapter 286: Transforming

When he arrived at Chuhe Film and Television, Shanhe discovered the changes in the company. The signboard was changed, there were more employees, and the place was rented out!

However, he didn't pay attention to this and continued to get into the editing room. After spending a whole morning, Shanhe went through the film again and came up with some precise editing directions.

It was near noon that Shanhe took Qin Nan into Yangliu's office.

"Vice President Yang, you have been promoted, and I don't see you reporting the good news to me!" Shan He sat down on the sofa and looked at Yang Liu who was busy at his desk and teased.

"I don't dare to annoy you! The company's adjustment has just begun!" Yang Liu stood up with a smile and poured a glass of water for Shanhe. "The changes in the company this time are not big. They just straightened out the management rights and adjusted the company. The structure, specific personnel and work have not changed. Are you interested in participating?”

"Not interested!" Shanhe shook his head and smiled, "Sister Zhong's hands and feet are very fast. Is she still on Hong Kong Island?"

"No, the shares of Jiahe Pictures have almost been collected, and all the things that need to be divested have been divested. She returned to Beijing last month and is currently in Shanghai. Her focus this year will be on Jiahe Pictures We are planning to invest most of the funds in the expansion of domestic cinemas. She should be communicating with Director Xie and Mr. Qu at the moment!" Yang Liu replied.

"I know, she told me, and I support it!" Shanhe nodded and said, "I have become the chairman of the board all of a sudden, and I am really not used to it!"

"I know you don't like to take care of things, but it's still the same as before. Just set a good direction and I won't bother you with specific matters! Nannan will report the company's trends to you in a timely manner!" Yang Liu responded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll just use this name, I'll just come over and say hello, I won't leave beforehand!"

"Boss, wait a minute, Ning Hao is in the company right now. He was looking for you just now. I'll give him a call!" Yang Liu said.

Shan He looked at Yang Liu, "He has something to do with me, why didn't he call me directly?"

"My boss, you've been stuck in the editing room these days, who dares to disturb you!"

In less than ten minutes, Ning Hao opened the door and walked into the office.

"Old Ning, you have been missing for several months. When did you come back?" Shanhe asked with a smile, looking at Ning Hao who was still hanging on the big gold chain.

"I stayed in the northwest for two months, and I'm back in Beijing to work on the script!" Ning Hao smiled and sat across from Shanhe, "You are such a fast shooter. "Moon" just won the award, and "The Wind" has started again here. It’s been edited, but I can’t compare, and I’m looking for your help to read the script!”

"Okay! Where's the notebook? Let's take a look!"

Ning Hao took out a bound manuscript from his backpack and handed it over, "The tentative title of this book is "No Man's Land". It tells the story of what happened in the no man's land in the northwest. Please give me your opinion after reading it!"

Shan He looked at Ning Hao, took the booklet, and said to him: ""No Man's Land" is both the location and the core, right? Is there a lack of humanity in the no man's land?"

After hearing this, Ning Hao raised his head and looked at Shanhe in surprise, "You are really amazing. You can guess most of the names with just one name. No wonder Hu Ge always calls you the Great Immortal!"

Shan He opened the script and smiled, "Nonsense, I've even seen the finished film, but I just don't know how much you changed it for release."

"I'll finish reading first. Nannan, you go and order some takeout, and we'll have lunch in Mr. Yang's office!"

More than an hour later, Shanhe had filled his stomach and finished watching "No Man's Land".

The script is quite different from the movie in Shanhe Memory. The story is still the same, but the characters and ending are different.

In the entire script, there is not a single good person. In the desolate no-man's land, he is separated from the group, and his human nature is primitive to the extreme, and even turns into bestiality.

For survival and profit, there is no bottom line in everything!

The first half of the script is very familiar and is not much different from the movie. However, in the second half of the script, the plot takes a turn. The policeman is the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, and he is the highlight of the story.

No wonder he couldn’t pass the trial! Lao Ning, you are really crazy. Even the policeman has been turned into carbon by you.

Coupled with the regional specificity of the northwest, it will still be banned now, let alone a few years later!

"Shanhe, don't be silent. Give me your opinion on whether it's good or bad!" Ning Hao said while staring in a daze.

"The script is very well written. The story is full of twists and turns and full of tension. The non-linear multi-clue narrative structure and black humor that you are good at, Lao Ning, are so vividly expressed in the script that you can hardly find any faults!"

Shanhe's words gradually relaxed Ning Hao's expression. He himself also agreed with and was very proud of the script.

He believes that "No Man's Land" is the pinnacle of his creation, which is both full of mockery of human nature and also has commercial attributes.

If it can be successfully filmed, he wants to imitate Shanhe's "Moon", win awards first, and then reap the box office. This is his foundation work!

But Shanhe's next words made him fall into the clouds!

"But, Lao Ning, you can't make this movie and show it. There's not a single good person in the whole movie. The biggest culprit is actually a policeman. Coupled with the multi-ethnic situation in the northwest, "No Man's Land" will never pass. Shen, do you want to follow Jiang Wen's old path? He was banned for five years for "The Devil Is Coming", and you are probably more serious than him!"

"Ah!" Ning Hao was confused by Shan He's words. Yes, why didn't I consider this? Is it too exciting to write the script?

Yang Liu heard Shan He's comments and looked at Ning Hao, who was stunned by Shan He and bowed his head in silence, "Is it that serious? I'll take a look too!"

A few minutes later, Ning Hao came back to his senses and asked Shanhe: "How do you think "No Man's Land" should be changed?"

"The police detective definitely can't be the biggest gangster, at least not on the surface. You can imply it, but you can't say it explicitly. There can also be ethnic minorities. Furthermore, you have to add a little bit of human conscience to the plot. The domestic environment cannot accept everything. The ending of the bad guy! If you really don’t want to change it, then you have to set the background of the story abroad. The smuggling and poaching of falcons mentioned in the script can be found in other regions, so you can find it yourself!" Shanhe suggested.

Ning Hao thought for a long time, looked at Shanhe and asked doubtfully: "Putting the background abroad? How does this work?"

"Uh~ This is not easy. Just change the beginning. The rich people in the Middle East have issued a reward. Several famous eagle-catching gangs around the world are concentrated in a no-man's land in Linguo. The Huaguo gang is also among them. Then press your It's not difficult to change your thinking if it goes down!" Shanhe replied smartly.

"Can we still do this? Then how do we choose actors? They all have to be foreigners?"

"Hey! It's said that it's Linguo, but a few Chinese are not allowed to open gas stations. Maybe it can increase the humorous effect!"

"How to arrange the shooting and location? We are not familiar with foreign countries!" Ning Hao continued to ask.

"I asked you, Lao Ning, are you stupid? Of course, the filming should be done at home. At most, we can go abroad to shoot a few scenes. It's all no man's land anyway. Who knows whether you are at home or abroad!"

"Oh! Shanhe, you are so smart. This seems to work. This is a great idea!" Ning Hao's mood was suddenly aroused. "I will change the script immediately when I get back. The background in a neighboring country can really increase the effect." Less humorous effect!”

Yang Liu on the side also interjected and said: "Boss, if you do this, all the stories that are too sensitive in the future can be set abroad. Southeast Asia is very suitable, as there are so many Chinese. This new approach is really a stroke of genius!"

"Yang Liu, your reaction is so quick, you can teach me!" Shanhe replied with a smile, "I guess many Chinese directors will have to thank us in the future!"

Ning Hao got Shanhe's advice and rushed home excitedly. He was probably anxious to discuss it with Xing Aina. In terms of screenwriting, Ning Hao was much worse than his wife!

Shanhe was very proud of helping Ning Hao solve the problem of "No Man's Land". In the previous life, Ning Hao exhausted his energy because of this movie, which greatly changed his subsequent creative direction and thinking.

Spirituality and creativity have been wiped out a lot, not to mention that the passion for making movies has also been extinguished. Not only has a bad movie like "The Golden Heist" been produced, but the output of movies has become less and less!

Now that Shanhe has eliminated this reason, this version of "No Man's Land" is authentic. Shanhe is very much looking forward to Ning Hao's future.

If nothing else, you should always have a movie every two years!

Speaking of setting the background of the story abroad, this trick is not uncommon in later Chinese films. "Detective Chinatown", "Manslaughter", etc. have all achieved great success, and "No Man's Land" should be no different. Well, Shanhe is very optimistic about this original script. It is definitely much better than the castrated version that has been modified and deleted several times!

In this life, let Ning Hao give everyone a try!

By the way, the subject matter of "Manslaughter" is not bad!

Save it first!

Throughout most of May, Shanhe was immersed in the subsequent production of "The Sound of the Wind".

Shanhe was involved in the entire process of fine editing, special effects, soundtrack, and color correction, and he had great expectations for "The Sound of the Wind."

Assembling almost the strongest cast in China, the story is also very brilliant. Coupled with his own magical changes, "The Wind" has created a much greater momentum than before. As long as the quality is high, Shanhe believes that this movie will bring great success to China. Chinese movie brings a huge surprise!

The theme of the main theme is destined to flourish as the country becomes stronger and stronger. Let me give you a sample first!

Hope this trend comes soon!

He was not absent from the regular preparation meetings for the Olympic opening ceremony, but at this stage, he could do little to help.

Everyone is busy setting up a performance team and designing performance props, and he can only do a lot on the side. Large-scale square performances are really not what Shanhe can do now!

At the end of May 2007, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" was released.

Disney has been promoting "the last pirate series written by Hua Guoqiu" and "the finale of Hua Guoqiu's Pirate World" as its core promotions.

This strategy worked well, and after the first two Pirates movies, fans were very concerned about the ending of the entire series.

The box office harvest began as soon as the movie was released. In just ten days, the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" exceeded US$500 million.

At this time, the reputation of the pair of Shanhe and Bruckheimer had risen to the extreme.

Johnny Depp has become the top actor in Hollywood, and Anne Hathaway has also benefited a lot, becoming one of the few members of the $20 million actress club in Hollywood!

Both of them were extremely excited during the phone call to Shanhe. They both believed that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was a sure thing to break one billion U.S. dollars at the global box office and would be released in China on June 12.

To be honest, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is the worst of the three films in the series. Although Shanhe made some slight changes and reductions in the screenwriting, it still cannot avoid that its organization is a bit confusing and the narrative is a bit lengthy!

The Hollywood media has received a lot of bad reviews. They think this is the worst work in Shan He's career as a screenwriter. They think Shan He's talent is on the verge of slipping. Some even predict that this will be the beginning of the genius' fall!

Shanhe has also heard about these news, but he doesn't care at all. I haven't exerted my strength yet. I have time for you to applaud me obediently!

June 1st, Children's Day, is also Qiu Chuxi's birthday. Her phone call came in the morning. She is already sixteen years old this year and is already a high school student. She no longer wants this or that like she did when she was a child, but she brought it up. The requirements are more of a headache.

She plans to come to the capital to accompany her brother this summer. Shanhe doesn't quite believe it. Accompanying her brother may be one of the reasons, but it will definitely not be the main reason. Most likely, she has some crooked idea.

When Qin Nan came to the capital, she came with him. Neither of the two girls was easy on gas!

But he had no resistance to this precious sister. Listening to her charming voice, he was convinced within a few words.

Although he verbally disliked him, he really missed this troublemaker a little bit.

Qiu Chuxi's call put Shan He in a good mood for the whole day, and it happened that Tan Dun's score was also completed on this day.

Tan Dun has won many international awards including the Oscar for Best Original Score, so his level is certainly not low!

Tan Dun was born and raised in Shonan, China. He graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music and later studied in Japan and the United States. Although he joined the M nationality, the Chinese people's feelings about home and country are engraved in their bones.

Most musicians are full of sensibility. The scene in "The Sound of the Wind" touched him, and then the novel and the true story behind it gave Tan Dun more inspiration.

In just two days, he created the main theme music of "The Wind", and in one week he completed the most important ending symphony of the film, and named it "Eternal Life".

In the next two weeks, three interludes were composed: "Farewell", "Remember" and "Memory".

Shanhe is very satisfied with these magnificent and delicate, majestic and touching symphonies.

With the soundtrack, "The Sound of the Wind" seems to be full of shouts and whispers. The entire plot flows with the music, and the movie has taken shape.

On June 10, the color grading and dubbing of "The Sound of the Wind" were completed, and the subtitles were also produced. The final film of "The Sound of the Wind" was completed!

After hearing the news, several CEOs and managers of China Film Group rushed to Chuhe Film and Television that afternoon and took the lead in watching the entire movie in the small screening room.

With a total length of one hundred and fifteen minutes, the film is the pinnacle of Shanhe's current directorial skills.

He and the entire team are very satisfied with this movie. The plot is ups and downs and fascinating, the scenes are exquisite and have a strong sense of the times. The cast is strong and the acting skills are superb.

Coupled with the top domestic soundtrack and art direction, special effects, photography, lighting, etc. are currently the highest level of Chuhe Film and Television!

Shanhe rates his work ninety percent.

The reaction of the top executives of China Film Group also confirmed this. Two hours later, they all gave a thumbs-up sign to the mountains and rivers with red eyes.

"Shanhe, the filming was great, especially the last confession, which is so touching! We found the right one this time!"

"Shanhe, you have made a great contribution to our China Film Group. This is how the main themes should be shot. I think all future main theme movies will have to use your movie as an example!"

"Shanhe, don't worry. We at China Film Group fully support this film schedule. "Transformers" originally scheduled for July has been postponed. I can guarantee that the film schedule of "The Wind" in the first two weeks will be over 60%!"

Shan He handed over his hand and responded: "The film is pretty good. I have to leave the distribution and arrangement to the seniors. I am still confident of a box office of 200 million!"

Han Shanping patted Shanhe's shoulder and said, "You are too humble. In my opinion, it should be at least 300 million. With your appeal and the quality of the movie, it would not be surprising if you set a record. Young people are making progress." It was too fast. To be honest, I think "Wind" was better shot than "Moon", your directing skills are much more sophisticated!"

"There must be some progress!" Shanhe responded with a smile, "Mr. Han, I have completed the tasks you gave me. Please remember me for good things in the future!"

"Haha... Don't worry, I will never forget you. I heard that Zhong Lifeng is preparing to use the Golden Harvest Pictures license to expand into the country. I will help you connect the dots when the time comes. There are many poorly run theaters in the country. It will be beneficial to both parties if you integrate! Han Shanping replied with a smile.

"Then please leave it to Mr. Han!"

"I can't let you work in vain. The achievements of Chinese films are now due to your contribution!"

"It's all as it should be!"

As soon as the film "The Wind" was completed, the promotion entered a new stage, and the first trailer was released on the Internet the next day.

The highlight clips of several leading actors and guest stars appeared in this trailer, which immediately triggered a craze of clicks on the Internet.

Among them, the guest actors gave netizens a huge surprise, and the guest lineup of "The Wind" made them sigh.

"Go ahead, this lineup is too scary. Even Ge You's father, Shan He, has been invited. This is the first time that father and son have appeared together on the big screen, right?"

"Ge You and his son, Jiang Wen, Li Bingbing, Li Xuejian, plus Zhang Yimou, Shanhe is cheating. I guess no one dares to compete with "The Wind" at the same time!"

"Awesome! The only pity is that I didn't see Shanhe himself. He made a guest appearance in "Crazy Stone" and never followed it up again!"

"I heard that in "Crazy Stone", Shan He's true character appears. Those with poor acting skills will look like a fool in everything they do! Haha..."

"Haha... is it true or not? If this is true, it would be so fun! No, I have to watch "Crazy Stone" again, haha..."

China Film Group paid more attention to "The Wind" and started promoting it in all directions.

Within a few days, posters of "The Wind" were plastered all over the country's major movie theaters. Huge posters of "The Wind" were hung up in downtown areas of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities. Newspapers and magazines also began to bombard the movie.

This time, China Film is determined to bring about a wave of craze for the main theme!

Shanhe also received the promotional itinerary and was shocked when he saw it. CCTV's six "Chinese Film Reports", CCTV's "Face to Face", "National Youth Daily" exclusive interviews, and even "Dazhong Daily" were included!

Let me go. Can China Film Group arrange this? It can’t be the work of the General Administration!

This wave is about to get bigger and bigger continuously!
