Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Such a heavyweight interview was obviously promoted by the state department. The main theme has been the mainstream of Chinese movies since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

How to continue to maintain the vitality of the main theme movie in the new era is an obvious problem, and Shanhe's intervention and the quality of "The Wind" suddenly gave the relevant departments a clear direction.

Therefore, the promotion of "The Wind" was taken seriously and it enjoyed unprecedented preferential treatment.

Han Shanping even called and explained in person, repeatedly emphasizing that this publicity was extraordinary and asking Shanhe to take it seriously and be prepared for what should be prepared.

In the remaining days of June, the most important thing for Shanhe is to accept several important interviews.

The exclusive interview with "National Youth Daily" was the most relaxed, and the whole interview process was very cordial. This person is the most die-hard supporter of Shanhe.

Since the beginning of Shanhe's fame, "National Youth Daily" has never stopped reporting on Shanhe. Every time, it applauds and is proud of Shanhe's achievements. Shanhe has always been a benchmark figure in "Youth Daily" and an important representative of Chinese youth!

…

"Shanhe, are you too hasty this time when you took over the filming of a movie with a theme theme? It is said that you took over this task not long after "Moon" was released. Did you feel unsure at that time?"

"The time is a little tight, but it is not rushed, because I have had similar ideas for a long time, and it happened that Mai's "The Wind" came into my field of vision. This novel adapted from real history touched me a lot. , I went to Chengdu specifically to invite the Mai family, we hit it off immediately, everything went smoothly, and I felt quite confident!"

…

"Main theme movies are in trouble. Many movies are ignored after they are released. What do you think is the problem? What do you think the future of main theme themes will be like?"

"Times are changing, and so are the rhythms. It is inevitable that people will change accordingly. Today's audiences are not very interested in blind preaching and loftiness, so movies will naturally change accordingly. "The Wind" is an attempt to speed up the plot. Rhythm, adding commercial elements, bringing the heroes closer to life, and increasing the exposure of the film, these methods of attracting audiences, we have all participated in the production process of "The Wind". We are very confident in this film, and I believe that the spring of the main theme film will be It will come soon, and we Chinese need more self-confidence and pride!"

…

"It is said that "The Wind" has been confirmed to be released in Neon. Is this news true? Aren't you afraid of affecting your commercial appeal in Neon?"

"This news is true. I don't think there is anything wrong. What I photographed is a piece of history. Whether you like it or not, it really exists. Forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal. This sentence is not only suitable for our country, but also for Ni Hong, only by recognizing mistakes and learning from experience can human society continue to develop. Every war destroys human nature, and war is always the most harmful behavior to mankind! The whole world should realize this!"

…

After the exclusive interview with "Youth Daily", Shanhe once again came to CCTV's "Face to Face" column. This was the second time Shanhe participated in the recording of this column.

It caused an uproar last time, and it probably won't be too peaceful this time.

Without too many pleasantries, Shanhe quickly started recording the program.

This time, the host Shanhe faced was replaced by Chai Jing. Shanhe knew that she was a highly controversial host in later generations. She went from being an "outstanding representative in the fight against SARS" to being a "famous public intellectual"!

At this time, she has not yet collapsed. She appears without makeup, has short hair, and wears a plain scarf, looking like a pretty girl next door.

Different from the surface image, she was very sharp when she opened her mouth and directly asked about Shanhe's amazing prophecy last time on the show.

"Shanhe, do you still remember the prophecy on the show a few years ago?"

"Of course!" Shanhe nodded and replied.

"Do you still insist on your statement? Have you been to Neon? How big is the gap between us and Neon? How long does it take to get rid of it?"

Shanhe looked at the female reporter with a calm face, "I am a writer and director. I am not good at economics. My predictions come from my understanding and recognition of China. It does not make much sense to surpass Neon. , it is just an island country, a defeated country with incomplete sovereignty. Our vision should be longer-term. 2008 is coming soon, and you will soon see what our future will be like. I don’t want to repeat this too much! "

Chai Jing was well prepared for the interview and knew the mountains and rivers very well. Knowing that she could not control the rhythm of the mountains and rivers, she smiled and tried to guide the interview in a relaxed direction.

"Shanhe, you have never failed since the publication of your first novel. You seem to be confident about everything. Have you ever thought about your success? What do you think is your greatest advantage?"

"Being born in this era is my greatest advantage. I am not pretending. I have never thought that I am a genius. My talents are above average. The era has given me such opportunities and luck. I would not dare to do so for a moment. Stop, I have been working hard to keep up with this big era, and living up to the opportunities God has given me is my biggest obsession!" Shanhe said very frankly, this is indeed what he thinks from his heart.

"You like to mention the word era, but every generation feels that they are living in a great era. Is there any difference between your era and others?" Chai Jing then asked.

"We are relatively lucky. This era is the rise of China and the era of world change. The rise of China will bring countless opportunities, and the Internet has made the world smaller, information will be more developed, and our vision will be broader. I think The more you see, the further you look, the more things you can think and do. The most important thing for a person is not living, but how to prove your worth. In this era, this is more important than ever. Everything is simple, isn't this a kind of luck?" Shanhe replied.

Chai Jing nodded and said: "It is indeed a kind of luck. Shanhe, you are right. The world has become smaller and China is developing rapidly, but not all the things brought about by development are positive. For example, the environment is deteriorating. Interests have become the core, what do you think of these?"

Shanhe smiled, looked at Chai Jing and replied: "Host, you are a reporter, and I am a director and writer. We look at things from different perspectives. I can't answer your question. This world is not perfect. does not exist!"

Chai Jing wanted to continue asking, but Shanhe stopped her, "Host, you are off topic. You can save these questions for the experts. There are no such questions in the interview outline!"

The director at the scene also paused the recording and walked onto the broadcast stage to communicate with Chai Jing. Shanhe smiled and stood up and went to the bathroom.

When he returned to the studio and the program started recording again, Chai Jing's question finally turned to the movie.

"Shanhe, let's talk about movies. "Moon" won you numerous awards around the world, including the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Why did you immediately change direction and take over the production of a main theme movie?"

Shanhe replied with a smile: "I don't make movies simply to win awards. Maybe you don't know, there are many reasons why movies win awards. Take the Oscars as an example. Winning awards in Hollywood requires public relations. The reasons why every movie wins awards are not simple. There is a competition for interests involved. You think foreign awards are too good. A large part of the reason why "Moon" won the award is Disney's public relations. I just took a ride!

I make movies because I want to express myself through movies. There are things I want to express in "The Wind". At the same time, I also want to find a way for China's main theme movies. The main theme is an important part of the movie. This It’s the same for every country! "

Chai Jing realized Shanhe's resistance to her. There was a big difference in their concepts, and she knew that she would not get the answer she wanted from Shanhe.

As a result, the entire interview was uneventful. The two of them followed the interview outline and started an interview about the prospects of Chinese films and the filming and production of "The Wind".

"You have always been confident about the prospects of Chinese films. Can you tell me your reasons?"

"The development of the country, the prosperity of the people, and the investment of funds are all driving the explosion of the film industry..."

…

""The Wind" is an anti-Japanese spy film, and it is the first large-scale attempt by a private enterprise to invest in a main theme film. Do you think this situation will become the norm in the future?"

"I think it will. This is in China. The general public needs national self-confidence and pride. Movies are also a commodity. If there is strong demand, people will naturally invest and produce..."

…

"After "The Wind" is completed, do you have any ideas for your next novel or movie? You seem to never stop and there is no shortage of creative inspiration!"

"Well~ I have the prototype of a new idea, but it's not fully formed yet. I'll keep it a secret for now and report it to everyone when the idea matures!"

…

The recording of the program went quite smoothly and it took most of a day to finish.

At the end of the recording, before Shanhe left, he shook hands with Chai Jing and said goodbye. Chai Jing still asked Shanhe his doubts, "Shanhe, do you have a problem with me? I can feel your resistance?"

Shanhe smiled and replied: "Haha... I don't like the subtext hidden in your question. Our positions are different!"

"Really? Maybe like you said, we see things from different angles. I hope there will be a chance to communicate next time!"

"I hope so! Goodbye!" Shanhe left the CCTV "Face to Face" studio with a smile.

It's not that Shanhe is biased against Chai Jing, he just doesn't like her condescending attitude of looking down on the public. Reporting on the ills of society is a reporter's responsibility, but the starting point should be to solve the problem, not to make purposeful accusations!

Two days later, when Shanhe was preparing to accept an exclusive interview with Dazhong Daily, the National Youth Daily published an exclusive interview with Shanhe on its front page with the title "The cold winter of the main theme has passed, has Shanhe started another spring?"

The entire interview with Shan He was published verbatim. At the end of the article, the reporter expressed great expectations for the release of "The Wind".

"Forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal. Heroes are worth remembering! "The Wind" will bring everyone back to the era of national survival, and the heroes will be immortal in our hearts!"

Compared with the interviews in "Youth Daily" and "Face to Face", the question pattern of "Popular Daily" is broader.

The reporter's interview centered on how Chinese culture should be spread and carried forward in the new era.

This was Shanhe's first interview with Dazhong Daily. He was fully prepared and answered smoothly.

"Shanhe, as one of the representatives of Chinese culture in the world, what is your position as a communicator or a defender?"

"Be communicators and communicators! I think Chinese culture will inevitably spread with the rise of the country. We need to let the world know us. China's thousands of years of civilization is here, and I don't need to maintain it. As Yanhuang Descendants, the successor generation of Chinese civilization, I hope our ideas can influence more people!"

…

"What do you think about the popularity of Western culture in China? Many people think it is poisonous. Do you agree?"

"I think this situation is inevitable. The Internet has connected the world, and communication and learning are unstoppable. I think this situation is in line with the characteristics of Chinese culture. We are good at localizing external culture and then integrating it into ourselves. Chinese civilization It has compatibility that other civilizations do not have. Taking the essence is our direction, and getting rid of the dross is our method!"

…

"Shanhe, you have been accepting interviews from foreign reporters since "Parasite". What do you think of the Western media's prejudice and slander against us? How do you think we should deal with it?"

"I often encounter situations like this. I think this kind of biased questions and reports should be divided into two types. One is due to the Western public's unfamiliarity with China. They think we still wear mandarin jackets and keep our hair. Braid, this is one of the reasons why I want to be a communicator. The other part is deliberately slandering. I think there is no need to pay attention to these people. They obey the strong and powerful. As long as we are strong enough, their slander will be useless. effect!"

…

The contents of several consecutive heavyweight interviews were broadcast in a timely manner. After "Youth Daily" published an exclusive interview with Shanhe, "Dazhong Daily" also released this report in a timely manner.

"Dazhong Daily" described Shanhe as "the exchange ambassador of Chinese culture". The article excerpted Shanhe's answer and pointed out that the world is developing in the direction of integration, exchanges and competition between the East and the West are inevitable, and peaceful exchanges are the core of Chinese culture. Shanhe is one of the important representatives of the consistent style from ancient times to the present.

Immediately afterwards, CCTV's "Face to Face" was also broadcast during prime time, and Shanhe's TV interview once again appeared in the public eye.

This series of heavyweight exposures has inevitably made Shanhe and "The Wind" the center of public attention.

Shanhe was once again pushed to the forefront, and the public began to discuss his remarks.

"Shanhe is really awesome! Look at the media that interviews him. His ability to make trouble has been upgraded again!"

"I just like his heroic Qian Yun. Listen to what he said. It means nothing to us to surpass Neon. I'll go! It's so majestic and grand. I like it!"

""The Wind" is aiming to break the record! This is the first time I have seen such a promotion, how many big moves have been fired in a row!"

"I will definitely watch "The Wind". I am a die-hard supporter of Shanhe. He is a representative of our young people in China. He has courage, backbone and talent!"

"What you said above is right, you must watch "The Wind"!"

"I believe in Shanhe's reputation and ability. You must watch "The Wind"!"

…

On July 1st, Shanhe completed the last interview before the release of the movie, a special interview for "The Wind" of CCTV's six sets of "China Film Report\

,"This time Shanhe is no longer faced alone, the entire creative team is involved.

This kind of purely professional interview about movies is Shanhe's favorite. There is no pressure and there is no need to consider other things. Everyone talks about the film's production process and highlights. Although the entire interview is very long, Shanhe doesn't say much.

Several leading actors took on more questions. Zeng Li and Zhou Xun were the focus of this program. They relived the painful experience of filming in the program. In the program, they repeatedly denounced Shanhe, which caused an uproar on the scene. laughter!

Coupled with the starring actors' teasing and comments about several guest appearances, this program is full of interesting things to watch!

As expected, after the special interview of "The Wind" was broadcast on the sixth set, it aroused a lot of discussion and curiosity among movie fans.

What on earth did Shan He do to bring the two heroines to the brink of collapse and denounce him repeatedly on TV; what roles did the several big-name guest stars play in "The Wind"; what kind of story is "The Wind"? , can it accommodate so many well-known actors to show their acting skills?

The publicity for "The Wind" has reached its peak here, and it can be said to be a milestone release process for the main theme film.

It is unprecedented, and it is estimated that those coming from behind will not be able to surpass it!

After more than half a month of legendary promotion, "The Wind" has finally arrived for its premiere.

On the evening of July 6th, "The Wind" held a grand premiere at the Great Hall of the People. The premiere was organized by China Film Quanquan. Almost all well-known filmmakers in the Chinese film industry arrived at the scene!

Everyone knows that China Film has given special meaning and great expectations to "The Wind". It attaches no less importance to the release of "The Wind" than "Three Kingdoms", or even more than "Three Kingdoms"!

As producers, Shanhe and Han Shanping first stepped onto the red carpet and entered the banquet hall. They will serve as hosts to greet the guests present.

The two had some time to chat for a while.

"Shanhe, the stage we built this time is quite big. I really didn't expect it beforehand!"

"Mr. Han, you can't even imagine it, let alone me. To be honest, I'm really a little nervous right now. I originally thought I was just filming a spy movie, but who would have thought of making it so big!" Shanhe responded with a sigh. .

"Isn't it time to rush here?" Han Shanping shook his head and sighed, "The main theme movies have been in decline in recent years. Take "Zhang Side" as an example. The movie was really good, but The audience doesn't recognize it. Excluding the reserved tickets, the real box office is less than 50,000 yuan. The entire publicity department is anxious about this problem. Your "Wind" is just in time and gives everyone a hope. The entire publicity department is worried about this problem. I want to vent my anger!"

After hearing Han Shanping's sigh, Shanhe suddenly understood that "The Wind" had enjoyed the treatment of "The Founding of the Nation" in later generations in advance!

He smiled silently. He really rose to the occasion. Many key moments in Chinese movies were broken by his own substitution. According to this trend, 80% of the box office of "The Wind" will reach a terrifying figure!

"Mr. Han, I got a ride again this time. I'm really lucky!"

"You can't say that, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself!" Han Shanping patted Shanhe's shoulder and replied, "The main reason is because the quality of "The Sound of the Wind" is good enough. Several of the big guys above have watched it. It is said that they all watched two My eyes are red and I can’t stop praising you!”

"Ah! Is there such a thing?" Shanhe was a little flattered.

Han Shanping sighed again: "What do you think? Your kid has grown up too fast, and now he is a veritable dragon!"

"Mr. Han, Uncle Han, you are flattering me! I can't afford the dragon!"

"Haha... Look at you like this, you are more ancient than me. Okay, keep working hard! I'm waiting to see you change everything!" Han Shanping said with a smile.

…

The guests began to walk into the banquet hall one after another. They were all familiar faces. Director Tong of the General Administration came in first with several leaders of the General Administration.

Then Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Li Ming, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong and other private film and television tycoons followed closely.

Directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Li Shaohong also entered the hall one after another.

Shanhe and Han Shanping each exchanged greetings!

Gradually, there were more and more people in the hall, and actors such as Ge You and his son, Li Xuejian, Zhang Guoli, etc. also joined in the chat.

After more than half an hour, the leading actors such as Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Zhou Xun, Zeng Li, Yingda, and Hu Ge finally entered the banquet hall.

The premiere of "The Wind" was more crowded than the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony!

As everyone arrived, the premiere quickly began in the auditorium.

Chinese filmmakers, journalists and film critics filled the auditorium to capacity!

Jingwei was still the host, and the entire premiere did not last long. The leaders of the General Administration came on stage first and said a few words about the commemorative significance of the movie.

On the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, let us not forget the national humiliation and strive for self-improvement!

It is precisely because of this heavy theme that the main creator did not say much when he came on stage. He only briefly talked about his experience during the filming process and expressed his admiration and remembrance of the martyrs!

After Han Shanping finished talking about the film's director selection process, the microphone was handed over to Shan He.

"To be honest, when Mr. Han gave me this shooting task, I was very nervous. Because of the writing of "Cliff", I had read the deeds of the martyrs and knew what they paid for the country and the nation. I wanted to They were put on the big screen and remembered by future generations, which gave me a lot of pressure!

At the same time, I am also eager to have such an opportunity to express my respect for the martyrs. I want to use this movie to comfort them: your efforts and sacrifices have paid off, and the future of China is as you think, as you imagined. willing! "

Shan He didn't speak much, but what he said was sincere. The creative team came off the stage amidst thunderous applause from the audience.

The screening of "The Wind" begins!
