Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

With the cast basically finalized, the "Dallas Buyers Club" project has taken shape. Shanhe accelerated the creation of the movie script in the following days.

Most Hollywood actors are experiential methodists. They need the support of the script to get deeper into the heart of the character.

In the script, Shanhe made some minor changes to the original film, slightly changing the rhythm of the film.

Especially the protagonist's process of smuggling drugs to other countries. Shanhe needs to capture this exciting point and let the audience feel happy, angry, sad, and happy at their own pace.

From the despair of finding out that his life is not long, to finding the hope of living, and even making a lot of money, the road has turned upside down, to being constantly inspected by drug manufacturers and the Food and Drug Administration, the death of a close friend, etc.

Shanhe wants the audience's emotions to be joyful and sad as the protagonist's fate rises and falls.

The pace of the original film was too slow and the plot was a bit long. It lasted two hours. Shanhe made appropriate cuts to the film. He planned to keep the duration within 110 minutes.

Focusing all his attention on work, Shanhe's stay in Hollywood has been quite fulfilling. The script and novel are progressing as expected. Green screen shooting and special effects shooting are also gaining experience through continuous visits.

Time flies so fast, and it’s almost late September. The first draft of the script for “Dallas Buyers Club” has been roughly completed, much faster than expected.

During this period, the Chinese female assistant sent by Scholar Publishing House gave Shanhe a lot of help. Shanhe recognized the talent and work ability of this second-generation Chinese immigrant woman.

After learning about her background in detail, Shanhe even started to think about poaching her, "Zhixuan, do you have any thoughts on returning to China?"

"Ah!" The fat girl wearing glasses was a little surprised by Shanhe's question, "Shanhe, I go back to China almost every year, and my grandma is still in China. She doesn't like Country M and is unwilling to leave her hometown! "

"Chinese people always have the idea of ​​returning to their roots after fallen leaves!" Shanhe nodded and sighed, "I admire your work ability. Are you interested in changing your job?"

"Oh! Wait, are you officially inviting me? I know you have a huge film company in China. What position do you give me?" Kang Zhixuan asked with some joy.

Shanhe smiled and replied: "Haha... How about starting from my assistant? Chuhe Film and Television are all run by women. The company has a lot of space, and the domestic space is even bigger. I believe you will be happier than in country M!" "

"Well! Of course I'm happy to get your approval, but I have to discuss it with my family. I still have time to think about it, right?"

"Of course!" Shanhe smiled and nodded, "You know I have to finish "Dallas Buyers Club", not only the novel, but also the movie!"

After the first draft of the movie script was completed, Shanhe handed it over to Bruckheimer and asked him to find someone to make some fine adjustments that fit the context of Country M, and he devoted himself to writing the novel.

The novel is different from the script in that there is no visual presentation of images and requires a more refined plot and character description. Contrary to the direction of the script, Shanhe lengthened the entire length, especially for AIDS patient groups, drug dealers, and the Food and Drug Administration of Country M. The description of the book makes the criticism of reality more intense and makes people reflect more!

As these requirements for writing reach a higher level, the time and energy spent will naturally increase accordingly.

At the end of September, Shanhe's writing life was interrupted by a phone call from China. Qin Haiyang was getting married!

Qin Haiyang's life was full of joy, and Shanhe could not be absent. He quickly asked Elizabeth, that is, Kang Zhixuan, to help him book a flight ticket and prepare to rush back to the Magic City.

When he was packing his luggage and worrying about what gift to give Qin Haiyang, Heath Ledger and his agent came to his door.

Shanhe received the two of them at the hotel. Heath Ledger's agent was a milf, blonde lady, and she must have been a charming beauty when she was young.

It's probably Bruckheimer's old lover. She owes him a favor. It's probably his emotional debt!

Shanhe complained a few words about the old gangster in his heart, and then focused on Heath Ledger.

Heath Ledger is really a very dedicated actor. He has lost a lot of weight. The cheekbones on his face have become highly convex. He also put on some female makeup, and the rough lines on his face suddenly softened. .

But Shanhe still saw the gloominess in his eyes, and his whole person gave people the feeling of a perverted killer!

After a few simple greetings and pouring coffee for the two of them, Shanhe said directly to Heath Ledger: "Heath, haven't you calmed down the evil in the clown's heart? I can still see it in your eyes. To its shadow!"

Heath Ledger looked very defeated, with a frustrated look on his face. He nodded slightly and responded in a low voice: "I still need some time!"

The agent lady sitting aside interjected with some urgency: "Qiu, Heath's condition is a little better, but it's still worrying. He has started taking psychotropic drugs. I'm worried. He is too young and mentally ill." The world hasn't fully matured yet and I now regret letting him take on the Joker role, Yau, could you please help him and get him into the role of Raymond and get rid of that damn Joker! I know my request is presumptuous , but please understand the mood of a mother, in my opinion, Heath is my child!"

Shanhe looked at his manager who had a pleading look on his face, and then at Heath Ledger who was bowing his head and saying nothing. This was the point where he had to seek medical attention in a hurry!

Shanhe understands Heath Ledger's heart very well. He is fighting against the other self in his heart. Shanhe also had this experience in his previous life.

The human spiritual world is very subtle. Once you fall into long-term depression, you will naturally have thoughts of destruction, either yourself or others!

Shanhe has watched "The Dark Knight", and the Joker in it is indeed the ultimate in destroying others!

Looking at Heath Ledger, who has become much thinner, Shanhe feels empathy and softens his heart. He should be a very simple actor. His pursuit of fame proves that he is understandable, but most of them are still trying to realize their dream of being an actor and can devote themselves wholeheartedly to it. It's rare for an actor to be immersed in his role!

"Ms. Ellie, I'm not a psychiatrist, and I can't do anything about Heath's condition. Do you think this will work? I'm going back to China for a few days to attend a friend's wedding. You and Heath will go to China with me. Let’s take a look, maybe a change of environment can help him!”

Shanhe's answer made the manager stand up gratefully, "Thank you! Thank you for not giving up on Heath. This is a good idea. He is a very simple child. I believe he can come out of the shadows!"

"I also hope he can come out. Raymond needs Heath's innocence!"

…

The two of them didn't sit for a long time, and they said goodbye and left the hotel after a while. Shanhe looked at the two people leaving, and felt complicated in his heart. Was he like this before?

Passed by like this, ten years have passed without realizing it! The depression and decadence have gone away, but the imprint left behind is still following the mountains and rivers. This is a wealth and a burden!

On the plane back home, Shanhe and Heath Ledger sat next to each other. After the turbulence of takeoff, the plane stabilized at high altitude.

Heath Ledger released the necklace he was holding tightly in his hand, opened it and kissed the photo inside for a moment. Shanhe looked at him and asked: "Is that your daughter in the photo? She is your baby and amulet!"

Talking about his daughter, Heath Ledger regained some sunshine. He handed the necklace to Shan He's eyes, "This is Matilda. I named her. I hope she will be full of courage in life in the future!"

Shanhe took the necklace, looked at it for a while and then gave it back to Heath Ledger, "Heath, Matilda in Chinese translation means the winner in the war, the goddess of war. With Matilda's protection, you will To win the war in your heart, you don’t have to work too hard. In fact, everyone has this kind of war in their heart, but yours is a little stronger!"

After hearing this, Heath Ledger paused while holding the necklace in his hand, and looked at Shanhe with surprise, "Qiu, you seem to understand my heart very well. Have you also had such an experience?"

Shanhe smiled and did not answer directly, "Have you read Tyson's autobiography? He has a sentence that I always like, 'My pain lies in constantly fighting the devil in my heart!', Heath, Don’t try too hard, sometimes the more you try to get rid of it, the tighter it will wrap around you. Look, you have your own baby, and you look much smarter and more handsome than Tyson!”

Shanhe's words made Heath Ledger reveal a rare smile, "I was not interested in Tyson before, but I have begun to like him, but I like you more, Qiu, Mr. Bruckheimer is right, I am with you You will always be closer to God together!”

Shan He felt disgusted in his heart. Why did these words sound so unlucky? As soon as he heard it, he knew that Bruckheimer had arranged for him behind the scenes.

"In China, being too close to God is not a good thing!" Shanhe responded jokingly, "Heath, I have always wanted to talk to you, but you seem to have closed yourself off too tightly. You are escaping and Drive out the clown you created within yourself, right?”

Heath Ledger put the necklace on his chest and nodded silently.

Shanhe casually changed his sitting position, crossed his legs and continued: "Heath, have you written a biography of the Joker's character growth? How do you think the Joker was born?"

Heath Ledger struggled for a while and whispered back, "He is a clown comedian. Life has taken away everything from him. The sins of Gotham City have created him. He has integrated all the sins he has seen into his own." Personality, he is not a monster in my imagination, he just wants to turn everyone into clowns so that he can live without pain!"

"Thank you for your answer!" Shanhe looked at Heath Ledger and said, "Heath, you don't have to run away from him, he is in your mind, right? Do you want to hear my imagination about the birth of the Joker?"

Heath Ledger turned his head to look at the mountains and rivers in surprise, and nodded after a moment.

This is the first time that Heath Ledger has not avoided Shanhe's gaze!

Shanhe smiled softly and began to tell a story about the birth of the Joker, "Arthur is the most inconspicuous little person in Gotham City. He lives with his mother.

In his mind, he is the illegitimate son of wealthy businessman Thomas Wayne and his employees. But his biological father abandoned him. In order to prevent his reputation from being damaged, his biological father Wayne even forged his mother's mental illness and Arthur's birth certificate, causing his mother to enter a mental hospital.

Arthur was abused by his mother's boyfriend since he was a child, which led to his split personality and pathological laughter disorder. This brought great obstacles and discrimination to his life.

He was often beaten and blackmailed by gangsters, and everyone either turned a blind eye to him or laughed at him.

Arthur's life is terrible, but it is not without merit. He also has beautiful visions and dreams. He has always hoped that he can become a comedian, a clown who can bring joy to everyone. He imagines that one day he will be the same as his idol Murray. station, making the audience in front of the TV laugh. He also hopes that he can gain a beautiful love. This person is his female neighbor. Love can give him comfort in the mess.

However, his mother's hospitalization wiped out all this, and he received three different blows in one day: his neighbor's girlfriend did not exist at all, and love was just a delusion in his mind; everything his mother described was an illusion, and he He is not the illegitimate son of a rich man at all. His father is the boyfriend of his mother who abused him since he was a child. It turns out that his idol Murray has been not supporting him on TV, but laughing at him. He even wanted to invite himself to the scene to laugh at him again. !

All the good things in his life were taken away, and Arthur collapsed. At this moment, the clown was born in his mind. The clown took the cowardly Arthur to start revenge. The first thing he did was to kill his own Mother, not only because of deception, but also because mother represents his only love..."

Heath Ledger listened attentively to Shan He's narration, and he was still thinking about it until Shan He finished telling the whole story.

"How about it, Heath, does my story fit the clown in your heart?" Shanhe asked the thoughtful Heath Ledger softly.

After hearing this, Heath Ledger raised his head and looked at Shanhe, "Qiu, you are a genius. This story perfectly explains the birth of the Joker. You know the Joker better than I do!"

"Heath, you don't need to be afraid of a cowardly mental patient. Arthur is just a fringe figure who was forced to become a clown by reality. You have to face him. The devil in your heart is not the clown, but the fear in your heart!" Shan He said calmly. Said to Heath Ledger on the side.

Shanhe's words were like a wake-up call for Heath Ledger, and he seemed to have suddenly found a way out of his predicament.

After a long time, Heath Ledger came back to his senses. He turned to look at Shanhe and said solemnly: "Qiu, thank you, I know what to do. I will not reveal this story to anyone, Qiu, from now on." , I will regard you as a lifelong friend, your kindness and trust are the most glorious road signs I have ever seen!"

"Haha..." Shanhe smiled and patted Heath Ledger's arm, "I'm honored to be your friend. When you completely defeat your fear, we will continue to shoot this "Joker", but your task now is to make Raymond If you have successfully cultivated virtue, I will not relax your demands just because you are my friend!"

"I'm very confident now, Qiu, give me another month, and I will become Raymond!"

"I'll wait and see!"

…

Shanhe gave Heath Ledger a psychological treatment in his own unique way, which was the result of Shanhe's thinking for a night.

"Joker" was once the movie that Shan He was least willing to face in his previous life. He always felt that the clown had his own shadow in him, but Heath Ledger's bad condition made him think about this movie again.

Ten years later, Shanhe is no longer the otaku who avoided reality. He can face his past!

Saving others also means facing myself squarely, and I even booked a movie. Shanhe’s mood was soothing all the way!

More than ten hours later, the plane landed at Hongqiao International Airport. The Chuhe Group's driver took Heath Ledger and his agent to the hotel. After saying goodbye to the two, Shanhe got into his father Qiu Jiang's old Buick.

As soon as Shanhe got on the car, Qiu Jiang couldn't wait to ask: "Why did you bring back an opium ghost from abroad? It's very scary at first sight, thin and neither male nor female!"

Shanhe looked at his father and laughed and said: "Dad, he lost weight and put on makeup for a movie role. He lost more than ten pounds in a month. Makeup is a requirement for his role in the movie. He has been strictly following the diet plan and has to maintain it for another month or two. , he is a very dedicated actor!”

"Ah! Isn't this torture? Your new movie? That's enough investment. This kind of talent is called an actor. This young man is good. Let him come to our house for dinner in two days!" Qiu Jiang agreed while starting the car. said.

His father was still so emotional. Shanhe asked with a smile, "Okay, I'll call him when the time comes. Dad, what are the rules of Brother Qin's marriage? I didn't explain it clearly on the phone!"

"Hi! The banquet in my hometown has been held, everyone has paid their respects, and we have entered the house. This event in Magic City is mainly organized by the woman's family, so we can just participate!"

"Ah!" Shanhe looked at his father and said, "Then why didn't you call me earlier? I didn't even drink Brother Qin's wedding wine!"

Qiu Jiang glanced at his son, "Aren't you busy? It's so troublesome to go back to your hometown from country M. Besides, if you go back to your hometown, the whole county will come to Haiyang's wedding banquet. Will it be you or Haiyang who will get married? I and Haiyang will get married. Once your master has discussed it, forget it and won’t call you anymore. Without you, there will be less trouble!”

"Okay then! When will the banquet in Magic City be held?" Shanhe touched his head and asked coquettishly.

"tonight!"

"I'll go, you guys are really good at rushing like this, don't forget about me and think of me later!"

"How can I forget you? Haiyang and my wife came to the house several times, and your master convinced him after he spoke. You don't know what Haiyang thinks of you!"

…

After eating a bowl of noodles made by his mother at home, Shanhe followed the family to Qin Haiyang's newly bought villa.

As soon as Shanhe got out of the car, he gave Qin Haiyang a fist as he went out to greet him, "Congratulations, groom. I didn't have time to come back from abroad!"

"Haha... Master, he won't let me call you, and I think about it. We can do anything between us! Shanhe, this is my daughter-in-law, Du Mei!" Qin Haiyang took the intellectual beauty beside him and introduced him to Shanhe.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I am brother Qin's fellow countryman and brother. This is the ornament of many children and many blessings that I bought in country M. It is just the perfect wedding gift for you!" Shanhe handed over the gift box in his hand.

Du Mei took Shanhe's gift and said with a smile: "Hayang almost made my ears cry out about your affairs. On behalf of myself, thank you for pulling him out of the mud pit!"

"Sister-in-law, you're welcome. He can get out on his own without me. Brother Qin is an outstanding person!"

"There is no need for such politeness between us! Come inside and chat!" Qin Haiyang supported Yu Zheng and rushed into the house.

…

At the banquet in the evening, Shanhe became the most popular person. Yu Zhengchong's concerns were right. Shanhe's attendance at the banquet hosted by the woman's family was to earn face for the Qin family. If he returned to his hometown, he would be stealing the limelight!

Faced with various requests from the woman's relatives, Shanhe naturally smiled and greeted her with joy throughout the whole process. She signed autographs and took pictures with full satisfaction. She also went on stage to say a few words about Qin Haiyang's embarrassing incident of being forced to marry, which made the whole audience laugh. Finally, he offered his bless.

After attending the wedding banquet, Shanhe collapsed at home. He couldn't explain why. As soon as he returned home, Shanhe immediately lost the energetic appearance he had outside. He was so lazy that he seemed to never wake up.

Just staying at home for a few days, Shanhe is Xie Meiyu's precious son. He can laugh out loud when he sees his son eating. With his master and grandma, Shanhe behaves like an authentic young master at home. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally and breakfast is delivered to the room. Here, I ask him to order before every meal.

The meal was served in front of him without having to get up. Because of Shanhe's support for him, Qiu Chuxi was also attentive to his brother.

On the other hand, Qiu Jiang would dislike his son and say, "Why should my daughter serve you? I haven't even enjoyed this treatment!" If you want to eat, do it yourself!

The home is so comfortable that you can relax!

On the third day after returning home, Shanhe remembered Heath Ledger and invited him and his agent Ellie to his home as guests.

As soon as Ellie saw Shanhe, she gave him a warm hug, "Qiu, you are the most amazing person I have ever met. I don't know what you said to Heath, but he has recovered very well in the past two days. We are here." We had a great time in the Magic City for two days. China is very dynamic and different from what we imagined. Heath and I both like it here very much!"

"Haha... You're welcome. Heath and I are friends now. My parents have long asked me to invite you to my home. What Chinese people like most is friends from far away! Come, let me introduce you..."

After greetings, Xie Meiyu entertained the guests with Hakka dishes. Ellie was so excited that she said "hot!"

Heath Ledger followed a strict diet and only ate a small bowl of rice and some vegetables.

The teacher's wife looked sympathetic, "It's not easy to be an actor. I lost more than ten or twenty pounds in a month, and I had to starve for a month or two. I don't look like a person anymore. It's worse than when we ate branyan vegetables." It’s all hard work, don’t starve this child’s body to death!”

Shanhe translated for Heath Ledger, who was very impressed by Heath Ledger's simple concern for his teacher's grandma, "Mrs. Xie, my grandma is as gentle as you, but you don't have to worry, my diet plan is a nutritionist It is formulated and will not harm your health. Acting is my favorite profession and I am willing to work hard for it!"

"This kid is a good actor at first glance. You can't make it without being crazy. To be an actor, you must have such professionalism!" Yu Zheng rushed to Heath Ledger and praised him, "Xiaohe, what is the movie you are filming this time about? Ah, you want to starve people so thin?"

"Master, this time the novel and the movie are being produced at the same time. It is adapted from real people in Country M in the 1980s, and reflects the reality of AIDS patients. It's a bit like "Parasite"!"

"You are a real thief now. You praise heroes at home and criticize reality abroad. You are good at both ends!" Yu Zhengchong joked with a smile.

"That's great. Just like you old man did before, rushing forward like a fool? You almost lost your life!"

"You old woman, you're too protective of your children. I'm just kidding, you're still on the line!"

…
