Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The human spiritual world is very contradictory. Sometimes it is extremely fragile, and sometimes it becomes resilient in an instant.

Since you choose to continue living, your subconscious desire to survive will drive you to grab any life-saving straw.

The protagonist Ron took the hospital address given to him by the hospital nurse and drove to Mexico, where his life reached a turning point.

After Ron experienced despair, the story entered a happy point!

The plot of Ron smuggling drugs in the original film was too bland, lacking the rhythm of the story and unable to arouse the audience's emotions. Shanhe needed to show this surprising contrast of fate in the camera.

Ron experienced the lowest point in his life because of AIDS. His fate is so wonderful. AIDS also brought him the highest peak in his life. Not only did he try his best to cure himself, but he also regarded selling medicine as his career. He regarded treating AIDS as his career. Business.

Shanhe prepared to add a set of short shots and quick edits to the film, which not only explained the rapid expansion of Ron's drug-selling business, but also gave the audience a sense of excitement about the change in the character's fate.

Of course, these are minor embellishments. The main plot focus is still on the emotional entanglement of the three leading actors, especially the scenes opposite Leonardo and Heath Ledger.

How did a homophobic cowboy and a gay transvestite become close friends, and how did they go from business partners to each other's support for perseverance?

These processes are the essence of the film. The two people's emotions continue to deepen, which not only subtly changes Ron's outlook on life, but also lays the foundation for his final spiritual sublimation.

And this needs to be shown in the performances of Leonardo and Heath Ledger. They support each other and have been wandering back and forth between despair and hope. This is an indescribable feeling. Mountains and Rivers needs two actors to perform. create!

The situation was much better than Shanhe expected.

After Leonardo experienced that desperate and painful one-man show, he completely entered the role. Coupled with Heath Ledger's genius performance, as long as the two of them appeared in the camera together, their performances were silky smooth. The scenes were amazing. The interaction between the two was played in a natural and touching way, with a sense of joy in the midst of hardship. Shanhe danced happily behind the camera every time.

"Dallas Buyers Club" was originally a stage for the two male actors to show off their acting skills. Now the performance of the two actors is even better than Shan He imagined. Shan He feels very happy. It is really a pleasure to work with good actors!

The chemistry between the two of them was so exciting that even Winslet was amazed.

"It can be concluded now that there is no need to discuss next year's Oscar actor award. Leon and Heath have already snatched away all the damn statuettes. This is unfair to me. Qiu, there is too much room for the role of Eva. Xiao, my scene was completely stolen by Leon and Heath!"

"Haha... Kate, you can't blame me for this!" Shanhe replied with a smile on his face, "The focus of this story is on them, they have paid a lot for this role!"

"Well, you are right, this is the hardest-working and most charming Leonardo I have ever seen!" Winlester looked at the increasingly thinner DiCaprio and nodded in response, "I am very happy to accompany and witness him. Success, Qiu, you are indeed a magician, can you consider my Oscar spell too!"

"Haha...Kate, I feel that your and Leonardo's fates are connected. When he breaks through himself, you will accompany him. When you break through yourself, he will accompany you. You will soon get that It’s a damn statuette, I promise!” Shanhe smiled and gave Winlester a preview of the future.

"Wow! Is this the magician's prophecy? Qiu, I can believe you, right?"

"Of course! It's my gut feeling!"

…

The performance of actors will promote each other. Even though Winslet's female doctor role does not have much room for development, she is still brought into the plot by the status of the two male actors.

The filming of the movie went smoothly beyond expectations with the back-and-forth scenes between the three leading actors. So far, the entire crew has satisfied Shan He in all aspects. There is only one thing that makes Shan He complain.

This group of foreigners will not accept working overtime. The three leading actors are in such good condition. If this situation happened in China, Shanhe would definitely seize all the time to make progress. The director cannot hope that the actors' condition will always be so good. There will be peaks. Lows.

It's a pity that foreigners have such a rock-solid eight-hour work habit that even Xiao Lizi is unwilling to work overtime for filming. This makes Shanhe very depressed. Isn't it good to finish filming early and go to bed early? These foreigners really can't adapt!

Shanhe had no choice but to devote a lot of his spare time to revising the novel. There was no trouble in revising the novel. With Kang Zhixuan assisting him, Shanhe added some background of Country M in the 1980s to give the novel a stronger sense of the times.

In addition, the context of some dialogues in the novel has also been adjusted. After all, Shanhe is a native Chinese, and he inevitably brings in Chinese dialogue habits when writing, which is very inconsistent with people from M country.

In mid-November, Shanhe sent the revised documents to Scholar Publishing House and Qu Ling in China during a break in filming.

This includes the English version completed by Shan He and Kang Zhixuan.

As soon as Scholar Publishing House received the document, it immediately organized editors to review the English version. Kang Zhixuan, the writing assistant, saved the publishing house a lot of time in finalizing the English version.

On the other side of the Pacific, Qu Ling also took up editing work after a long absence, and once again reviewed Shan He's novel manuscript.

That night, the Chuhe Group general manager's office located on the top floor of the Chuhe Building was always brightly lit.

After reading Shanhe's new book, it was already late at night in the Magic City. Qu Ling stood up and made himself a cup of coffee. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the bright lights on both sides of the Huangpu River.

As written in Shanhe novels, fate is such a wonderful thing. Who would have thought that a senior editor with more than ten years of experience would find his own niche in business!

On the top floor of this newly moved group building, Qu Ling's thoughts could not help but return to six years ago with emotion.

At that time, she also finished reviewing the first draft of "Parasite" late at night like this. She still clearly remembers the feeling at that time.

While being shocked and touched by the novel, he was also excited about Shanhe's growth. He was not yet eighteen years old at that time. At that time, all he thought about was to accompany Shanhe to the peak of literature, and to witness the genius he discovered with his own hands become famous. The world!

Six years have passed, and this child has lived up to everyone's expectations and has become a leader of China's younger generation, representing the Chinese people overseas.

However, she took another path and became the shareholder and general manager of Chuhe Group, becoming a famous strong woman in the business world of Shanghai!

Shanhe still remembers sending him the first draft of the novel. In his eyes, he is still the Aunt Qu who traveled thousands of miles to a small county town, and is still the agent who scolded him for the scandal!

As always, this is great!

In front of Qu Ling's eyes, many moments of Shanhe's growth appeared involuntarily, including the shy and precocious thirteen-year-old boy; his perseverance in arguing for reasons on foreign programs; his confusion when his first taste of the forbidden fruit was exposed, etc.!

This kid has changed so many people. He is my greatest pride. I will always be his review editor and his most solid support!

A cheerful smile appeared on Qu Ling's face. After drinking the coffee in his hand, he continued to walk back to the computer and reviewed Shanhe's manuscript word by word!

As the Chinese and English versions of the novel were quickly finalized, Germinal Publishing House and Scholar Publishing House decided to release Shanhe's new book on the same day, December 1st, claiming to be released simultaneously around the world!

The novel of "Dallas Buyers Club" has been successfully finalized and is ready for release, and the progress of the movie is not slow. In late November, Heath Ledger ushered in his final film. He was full of reluctance to part with the role of Raymond. For him, the past month has been a redemption;

This time last year, he was running rampant on the streets of Gotham City as a crazy and disorderly clown. After filming "The Dark Knight", the shadow of the clown has been following him. He was indeed obsessed with the evil thoughts of the clown in his mind. Frightened, coupled with the pain of breaking up with his wife, he was on the verge of depression.

Anxiety, insomnia, and sometimes phantom voices would appear in his ears, so he had to take drugs to calm himself.

Fortunately, Heath Ledger had a mother-like agent who kept looking for doctors and solutions for him, and finally got advice from Bruckheimer to use another character to get rid of the Joker!

So he met Qiu, and it was this Chinese nicknamed "The Magician" who saved him.

He used a genius script to give himself an opportunity to face the clown. Qiu was right, the devil in his heart was not the clown, but fear!

The role of Raymond gave him another chance to get out of trouble. This is a tragic character with a very story. In Heath Ledger's understanding, Raymond and the Joker are two extremes.

He wrote a biography of Raymond, a son of a rich family, whose mother left him when he was very young. Due to excessive longing for his mother as a child, he became mentally distorted when he grew up. His mother was perfect, and he wanted to be a kind and beautiful woman like her!

However, in reality, because of his unusual gender orientation, his father, family, and everything around him rejected him. Therefore, he left the family and lived an extremely depressed life. He eventually became addicted to drugs and contracted AIDS.

But she still believes in love and kindness and needs love and recognition!

It is precisely because of this psychological distortion that Raymond combines the two different psychology of men and women. He has an open-minded temperament but a delicate mind, and has a look of pity for the world.

Heath Ledger thought it was the feeling of an angel, but Shanhe gave him a better explanation. The Bodhisattvas in Chinese mythology are all male and female, and the Bodhisattvas are all obsessed with saving all sentient beings.

Raymond and the Joker have similar experiences, but they go in two completely different directions. One thinks that all living beings are evil, while the other wants everyone to be good!

Heath Ledger felt that with every step he took towards Raymond, the Joker in his heart became a little blurry. By the time the movie started shooting, the Joker had become a shadow in his mind.

Now it’s the last scene. Raymond is reaching his end in the world, but this is not the end. For Heath Ledger, this is a ceremony. He has gained a new life because of this role. From today on , the clown is just a noun, a character in his mind, he can face him without hesitation, the clown is no longer a fearful existence!

Heath Ledger interpreted the role of Raymond with sincerity. In the last scene, Raymond was ready to face death, but when death actually came, he was still full of desire for life and fear of death. He cried loudly and shouted with all his strength, "I don't want to die! I really don't want to die!"

Heath Ledger's performance is still perfect, his crying eyes are full of fear, reluctance and longing, his thin body is trembling like an angel with broken wings, and his sad cry is full of attachment to the world.

"Ka! Congratulations to you, Heath. You perfectly portrayed Raymond. You're done!"

Shanhe's shouts did not make Heath Ledger stop crying. The fear and desire in his eyes were removed, and the cry was no longer Raymond's sissy voice.

This time, his crying was no longer about the introduction of the character, nor was it about death, but for the character of Raymond, and for himself to completely get out of the haze!

Shanhe saw Heath Ledger's relief and relief. He walked forward and gave Heath Ledger a comforting hug, "Heath, today is the weekend, you should pick up Matilda, you should Tell her that you have become the winner of this war, congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Heath Ledger hugged Shan He forcefully, "Thank you my friend, you saved me!"

"I didn't save you, I just cast a spell from the future on you!" Shanhe joked half-truthfully.

"I will wait for your call, Qiu, I can face everything the Joker has to offer now!"

"Then you have to wait two years! We have to let the clown rest! Haha..."

At this time, DiCaprio also came up and gave Heath Ledger a hug. The two of them became good friends because of filming, "Heath, you can finally stop being hungry. I envy you. Fuck, I've been there for three months." I haven’t tasted red wine and barbecue anymore, so go back and eat an extra portion for me!”

…

The filming of the movie "Dallas Buyers Club" has been mostly completed. Scholar Publishing House has begun promoting the novel of the same name on the shelves, and Disney has also contributed.

Two M-country capital companies took action and created a lot of excitement about the launch of "Dallas Buyers Club".

Many related reports suddenly appeared on the Internet, newspapers, magazines, and television channels. The words "Magician", "Hua Guoqiu", "Ron Woodruff" and so on can be seen everywhere.

"Another "Parasite"-style realistic novel, Hua Guoqiu uses the scalpel of a bystander to cut open the reality of Country M!"

""Dallas Buyers Club" is a real-life legend. Hua Guoqiu is describing a fighter. Ron Woodroof faces more than just death!"

"Hua Guoqiu once again launched an attack on literary and film awards by adapting real people from Country M..."

"The magician is going to use reality to perform magic for everyone this time..."

…

The cover poster of "Dallas Buyers Club" has been posted in conspicuous places in major bookstores. Ron Woodruff's hand-painted black and white portrait takes up the entire poster. The title of the book and the name of Shanhe are printed in red. Especially conspicuous!

Ron Woodruff's deeds have been booming again recently, and the public seems to be interested in this forgotten legend again.

Ron Woodruff's relatives and friends have recently become popular figures for media interviews, and his sister and younger sister have even been invited to talk shows.

A figure who saved millions of people was not praised for his achievements, but became known to the public because a foreigner's books and movies needed to be promoted. This has to be said to be a tragedy for the society of M country!

The Chinese and English versions of "Dallas Buyers Club" will be available on the shelves at the same time on the same day. Shanhe's novel does not require much deliberate promotion in China.

His reader base in China is really too solid. Over the years, Shanhe has not stopped. Whether it is novels or movies, they all have excellent reputations. Coupled with his extraordinary ability to make trouble, his national attitude and appeal have reached a frightening level.

As soon as "Dallas Buyers Club" was released, the discussion on the Internet has not stopped.

"Shanhe is really awesome to the extreme. He can do big things in his free time when he goes to Hollywood to sow seeds. Xiao Li is starved to death from him!"

"This is another "Parasite"-style critical novel. What is it called? It scolds my mother for taking money from other people's pockets. To be honest, I don't even think it's worth it for the people of country M! I'm convinced!"

"The book Shanhe is based on a true story, and the movie is about to be released. It is said that it is for the sake of winning awards. Xiao Li asked his father to call his mother before Shanhe let him act. He relied on Shanhe to help him break the Oscar curse. Got it!"

"If you criticize imperialism, I have to buy a copy and read it. Shanhe is really piss-poor, and I will obey him!"

"Foreign stories don't have much appeal in China! Suspense novels like "The Signal" are more interesting. Have you heard that Neon and Bangguo have both been made into TV series? It is said that they will be broadcast by the end of the year. I don't know when they will be available online. Can’t you see it?”

"Oops! Really? The TV series "The Signal" is a must-see!"

…

On December 1, 2007, "Dallas Buyers Club" was officially launched for sale.

At this time, Amazon was already a giant in country M, almost dominating the entire online book retail industry.

Naturally, Amazon will not let Shanhe's new book go, and has already negotiated a cooperation agreement with Scholar Publishing House.

The Internet is different from physical stores. Amazon starts pre-sales one week in advance. In theory, the delivery time of new books is earlier than the on-site sales in physical stores!

With the rapid development of the Internet, more and more young people like to buy books online, which saves the time of going to the bookstore. For popular best-selling books like "Dallas Buyers Club", there is no need to wait in line.

Due to the early publicity and filming of the film, "Dallas Buyers Club" has gained a lot of exposure on the Internet, and people's expectations are also high. Everyone still vaguely remembers the turmoil caused by "Parasite" in Country M.

These are reflected in Amazon's pre-sales data. As of the early morning of December 1, the pre-sales of "Dallas Buyers Club" had exceeded 100,000 copies.

This data is not small. In 2007, the highest pre-sale sales volume was J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows", which exceeded 500,000 in weekly pre-sales.

But this is a sequel to a fantasy bestseller, and there is no comparison with real-life novels like "Dallas Buyers Club."

Before the release of "Dallas Buyers Club", the number one realistic novel in pre-sale sales was "Down and Out" by the famous American novelist Michael Thomas, with less than 20,000 copies.

Shanhe's appeal in Country M is not low, especially driven by Scholars Press and Disney. The book publishing circle's expected sales of this new book in North America in the first month are between 1 million and 15 million. .

The first printing of 1.5 million copies by Scholar Press is a sign of full confidence in Shanhe.

Shanhe's new book has lived up to their trust. Nearly 150,000 copies were sold in offline physical stores on the first day. Including online pre-sales and same-day sales, the total sales volume on the first day was 270,000 copies.

This sales figure is terrifying, but it cannot be extrapolated by analogy. It includes pre-sales and Shanhe fan purchases. Book sales still need to depend on word-of-mouth.

In the afternoon of that day, readers’ book reviews and thoughts after reading began to appear in Amazon’s novel tribe forum.

"Hua Guoqiu has written the biography into a legend of ordinary people. Ron Woodruff's experience is so movingly told by him, from despair to dramatic rebirth, and then to becoming a Don Quixote-like fighter. Hua Guoqiu has added a lot to Ron's life... What I'm most eager to see now is to see the movie adaptation of the same name and how far Leonardo will interpret Ron!"

"...The most heartbreaking thing in the book is Raymond, a transvestite homosexual. Hua Guoqiu wrote him as an angel with broken wings. To be honest, I cried for his death!"

"With You and For You (with you, shouting for you), this is the only sentence that came to my mind after watching "Dallas Buyers Club"..."

"After reading this novel, I have three little reminders for myself: 1. Please don't be curious about drugs, don't be entangled, don't be tempted, and don't try them. 2. It's best to wear condoms for inappropriate sexual behavior. 3. Don't use strange drugs. Looking at the gay community from a different perspective, they are just like us and have nothing missing.”

…

The novel's reputation is outstanding, as shown by the positive reviews and the number of reviews. Scholar Publishing House is relieved.

The pre-arranged review promotion and online trolls can be launched, and the sales on the shelves are just the first wave of enthusiasm. We also have the killer feature of movies!

One and a half million copies? NO, by the end of the year, this number will become 5.1 million!

The time in China is thirteen hours ahead of that in Country M. During these thirteen hours, fans of Shanhe have already cleared the pile in front of the bookstore.

In China, there is no reason to say that Shanhe's novel sales are unreasonable. He has accumulated too many book fans and fans!

The sales volume in the first three days is the sales ceiling for Chinese literature books. As for whether it breaks the record, no one cares much about it now. It has been broken so many times that they are numb!

However, everyone also knows that the sales volume of this book is probably not higher than that of "The Signal". It tells the story of foreigners, and Chinese people have no sense of participation.

Everyone is looking forward to the movie. After all, what is said on the Internet and in newspapers is that this is Shanhe's award-winning film, and the movie also stars DiCaprio and "Fei Wen"!

"Titanic" has dominated the domestic movie box office charts for decades. 360 million was once an unattainable number!

Anyway, buy a copy and take a look! After reading this, let’s all brag about it online!
