Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

After the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Olympic schedule is in full swing, and athletes from all over the world are striving for honors for themselves.

But outside discussions about the opening ceremony are still the focus of Olympic news.

This unparalleled event contains too many cultural elements. The global public has become more curious about its history and culture, and more people want to know about the rising world.

The focus of media reports also shifted from comments on the opening ceremony to a new understanding of the country.

Major TV stations around the world have invariably included a lot of introduction space in their special reports on the Olympics.

Street scenes of the capital, interviews with ordinary people, introductions of Chinese cultural celebrities, and other scenes appeared one by one in programs from various countries.

Among them, the two most mentioned names are Shanhe and Zhang Yimou.

The perfect performance of the opening ceremony made director Zhang Yi Mou famous around the world. His movies and glorious resume were pushed to the forefront. Western media have described Zhang Yi Mou as "another Eastern Kurosawa" to the West. shock to society.

Shanhe needs no introduction. "Dallas Buyers Club" has just taken the world by storm, and his legendary rise has always been a topic of discussion among the global public.

In the eyes of most foreigners, Shanhe is the representative of human beings. As the creative director of the opening ceremony, Shanhe is also highly praised.

The two inevitably became the focus of global media pursuit.

At this time, these two global figures were in the office of the chief director of the Bird's Nest, having a rare leisurely chat and drinking tea.

The success of the opening ceremony relieved the entire director team of their burden. The closing ceremony was a carnival for athletes, and the pressure was nothing compared to the opening ceremony!

"Brother, I didn't participate in the closing ceremony very much, so I won't add too much to it. I need to relax for a few days. People have been crushed in the past few months!"

Zhang Yimou poured tea for Shan He, "Okay, the on-site executive director of the closing ceremony is Lao Chen, and I am just the general manager. Over the past year or so, our brothers and sisters have finally made it through. These days you Stay with your future father-in-law well, I will call you if anything happens!"

Shan He took a sip of tea, looked at the thin-faced Zhang Yi, and asked, "Brother, what arrangements do you have after the Olympics?"

"You are really full of energy. You have just relieved a huge burden and are thinking about making trouble again. I can't compete with you. I am older and need to cultivate for a while!" Zhang Yimou replied with a smile,

"I had an idea before, to make a film about the Jinling Massacre, but it was just an idea. I haven't even started writing the script yet. It is estimated that there will be a two-year preparation period. Let's take a look. By the way, didn't you kid say that Do you want to write a script for me?”

Shan He looked at Zhang Yi and smiled, "I have the script. If you cooperate with me, what will Zhang Weiping do?"

"What else can we do!" Zhang Yimou frowned, "Let's work together. Can he still have opinions on your script?"

"Haha... That's hard to say!" Shanhe replied meaningfully, "The Olympics are over, let's talk about it again, I guess there is something wrong with this matter!"

Zhang Yimou shook his head and raised the corners of his mouth, "Zhang Weiping is a person who values ​​profit and is a bit snobbish. In front of you, he dare not say anything no matter how much he has an opinion. You are now a giant in the film industry!"

"That's what you said! I thought you were praising me!" Shanhe responded with a crooked mouth, "Brother, pay the fine as soon as the Olympics are over. Don't let this matter become a handle!"

Zhang Yimou raised his head and looked at Shanhe, nodded and responded: "I will take this matter seriously!"

In the next two days, Shanhe felt completely relaxed. He came to the Bird's Nest every day for regular meetings, and then went home to accompany the two families around various Olympic venues.

Whenever he and Hathaway show up, they will inevitably become the focus of attention on the sidelines.

Not only did they attract the attention of the audience, but the TV broadcasts also focused their cameras on them during the intermission period, and commentators from various countries would tease or introduce the two.

Especially with Country M.

"Hey, Shanhe and Hathaway also brought their families to watch the basketball game between China and the United States. These two families are not in the same place..."

"Look who we see in the picture, the magician couple also arrived at the swimming pool. This couple has been the focus of the world recently. Hathaway and Qiu's family get along very well. It seems that the two will be together soon. They became a magician couple..."

"What appeared on the camera were Yau and his girlfriend Hathaway. This pair of the world's most watched couples are truly unique in the entertainment industry. They have known each other since they were teenagers. They are simply a model of love in Vanity Fair!"

…

Fans and fans of the two people in front of the TV were very concerned about the appearance of the couple, and they made fun and comments on the Internet. This kind of behind-the-scenes clips have a high click-through rate on the Internet.

Shanhe appeared in public again after a few months, and after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games shocked the world, media reporters could not let go of this shining news figure.

After every game, Shanhe and Hathaway would be surrounded by cameras and microphones, with Shanhe being the main target.

"Qiu, how would you rate the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? Can you tell me about the work you performed at the opening ceremony?"

"Qiu, what do you think the perfect start of the Olympic Games opening ceremony represents, and what do you think of the future of your country?"

"After the Olympics, do you have any new ideas for novels and movies? Will the miracle of "Dallas Buyers Club" be replicated again?"

"Shanhe, when do you and Hathaway plan to get married? Is your family satisfied with Hathaway?"

…

Faced with questions from media from various countries, Shanhe and Hathaway had no choice but to deal with them.

"Countless people have contributed before and after the Olympic Games opening ceremony. The directing team is just standing at the front desk. We are honored to represent them and bring a feast to the world!"

"I am very satisfied with the opening performance. If I had to give it a score, it would be 90 points!"

"I don't have any ideas for a new book yet, I need to take a break!"

"I won't tell you my privacy!"

…

I watched three games with my family, and both of them were disliked by their families at the same time. Watching the game with these two people was like wearing two big light bulbs.

The two families unanimously left them aside and enjoyed the excitement of the Olympics.

Shanhe and Hathaway looked at each other and smiled bitterly. No need to bother, let's watch the live TV broadcast at home!

It’s not bad to spend time with your grandparents!

The appearance of Shanhe and the two people caused a big topic on the domestic Internet. Surprisingly, it was not the two of them, but Shanhe's baby sister Qiu Chuxi!

Everyone knows that Shanhe has a sister, but no one has seen what this mysterious sister looks like. Qiu Chuxi's identity was once the most mysterious mystery on the Internet.

During this trip between the two families, Qiu Chuxi did not hide it. The scene where she and Hathaway were holding hands together was photographed by media reporters. Within two days, the entire Internet knew her true identity!

As a result, Shanhe has a special title "National Uncle-Brother" on the domestic Internet!

Qiu Chuxi suddenly became synonymous with "white, rich and beautiful", and the whole Internet was vying to be Shanhe's brother-in-law!

"Shanhe's sister is very pretty. She looks just as good as Hathaway. From now on, I declare that Shanhe is the brother-in-law of my dreams!"

"Finally, I saw the real person. She's so beautiful. Much prettier than Shan He. This brother-in-law, Shan He, is destined to be my brother-in-law!"

"Shan He is so precious to this little sister. No wonder she protects her so tightly and her love is so popular!"

"Brother! I salute you!"

"Haha...this uncle wants it!"

…

As soon as the photo leaked, the specific situation of Qiu Chuxi was quickly exposed by netizens.

She is a sophomore science class student at the Third Girls' High School in Magic City. She has average grades and is a popular figure in the school. She is lively and cheerful, loves to fight against injustice, and likes to do business and sell things.

After the students of the No. 3 Girls' High School in the city learned about Qiu Chuxi's identity, they exposed all the details about her school routine on the Internet!

The whole Internet was amused by Qiu Chuxi’s daily weird operations!

The number one eldest sister among the three girls in the city, no one could guess that she was Shanhe's younger sister because she always looked down upon Shanhe's female fans!

He is nosy and often picks fights. He has had many conflicts with senior girls over his classmates, and he has always come out victorious. He is very famous!

As the sister of a great writer, her worst subject is Chinese. Her composition is particularly bad, and she hates writing!

My brother is so rich, but my sister has been selling things since junior high school. At one time, she became the largest wholesaler of stationery and accessories in the school. She even sold pirated posters, and she was often called a parent because of this!

I can’t tell you all the embarrassing things I did while in school. I am very popular in hip-hop and skateboarding, and I love to join in the fun!

This precious sister Shanhe is so interesting!

A cheerful and beautiful girl who is lively and straightforward, with an excessive sense of justice, suddenly appeared in front of netizens.

Qiu Chuxi became an instant hit on the Internet. Her outspoken character made netizens happy. Fans of Shanhe are very fond of Shanhe, this precious sister.

He even gave her the nickname "Princess Xixi"!

The Shanhe family was helpless and worried that the exposure of their identity would affect Qiu Chuxi's daily life, but she herself didn't care.

"Exposure is exposure! I'm not afraid of being laughed at. Anyway, I will be a senior in high school next year. Princess Xixi is a good nickname. I will register this name when I go back. From now on, all my toys will use this brand!"

Come on! Now, her shop will usher in a period of rapid development. Qiu Chuxi's business acumen is really extraordinary, and she plans to be the first to enjoy the benefits of the Internet celebrity economy.

Hathaway is Qiu Chuxi's number one supporter, "Xi, I support you. There are many girls in M ​​country who will use their fame to create their own brands. The Olsen sisters and Hilton have become billionaires because of this. You can do it too!" "

"Really?" Qiu Chuxi was excited when she heard this, "Annie, why don't you also create a brand? You are a popular actress in the world!"

Shan He rolled his eyes at his sister and interjected: "Annie's dream is to be an actress, not to make money. Qiu Chuxi, if you dare to be like those celebrities from country M and think of ways to promote yourself all day long, don't blame me for ruthlessly destroying your shop. Sealed!"

"I don't like to hype and show off. If I did, I would have exposed myself long ago. But since it has been exposed, why not take advantage of it!" Qiu Chuxi responded plausibly.

It’s really hard to manage your child when he’s grown!

Shanhe looked at his pretty elf sister and said helplessly: "Okay! You should be careful and don't use my and Annie's names to cheat!"

"I won't use your name, just Princess Xixi. Brother, I won't do anything to disgrace your reputation, I promise!" Qiu Chuxi promised with a serious look.

Shanhe pinched Qiu Chuxi's nose angrily, "You are my sister, and it is my responsibility to protect you. You are a hundred times more important than my false reputation. I don't want you to become an unscrupulous businessman!"

"I know! I don't know how to do it. Let go! Dad, Qiu Shanhe is bullying me!"

…

The Olympic Games are being carried out enthusiastically with the attention and participation of the whole people. People's enthusiasm has ignited the entire capital. Guests from all over the world have felt this traditional hospitality atmosphere.

To be honest, it is the most suitable for holding such a large-scale event. There are many people, good face, and willing to invest!

The rate of return is also very impressive. One Olympic Games can drive the entire consumer market, and the construction funds for stadiums can also be recovered through various future events and competitions. This is the advantage of a big country!

Unlike Athens and Sydney, if one Olympic Games is held, the entire city will be on the verge of bankruptcy!

More than ten days have passed by, and the Beijing Olympic Games has inevitably come to an end.

Although Shanhe was not specifically responsible for the closing ceremony, as a core member of the directing team, he still watched the closing ceremony performance in the stands with everyone.

At ten o'clock in the evening on August 24, the Olympic torch, which had been burning for 17 days, was extinguished in the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky. The Beijing Olympic Games came to a perfect end.

With the end of the grand event, the capital calmed down from the excitement and gradually returned to the summer heat.

The Hathaway family boarded the plane back to Country M under the watchful eyes of Shanhe and his family. The two families made an appointment to meet again in Country M next year. Shanhe and Hathaway also hugged each other and parted.

The Venice Film Festival is about to begin, and Hathaway is ambitiously launching an attack on the Venice Best Actress!

At the end of August, Shanhe and his family also drove away from the capital. After the most lively ten days, the courtyard returned to leisure and tranquility.

Kang Zhixuan took a break for more than ten days and returned to his assistant position.

"Boss, on September 10th, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" will premiere in China. The premiere is scheduled to be at Xidan Cinema City. You need to attend!"

"I see!"

Shan He has some emotions about this movie. "No Man's Land" is destined to go through ups and downs. In his previous life, he was kept in hiding for three years because he failed to pass the review.

In this life, mountains and rivers have prompted its changes, but it still cannot escape the postponement of its release!

Ning Hao is perhaps the most frustrated Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. His award hardly caused any splash in the country, and the film also missed the best time to be released!

After the Olympics, Chuhe Film and Television began to restart the comprehensive promotion of the movie, and his reputation as the best director at the Cannes Film Festival spread in the country!

The film was extremely popular at the Cannes Film Festival. It earned more than six million US dollars in copyright income alone. It not only recouped the production investment of 20 million yuan, but also doubled the profits for the producer.

Chuhe Film and Television Marketing Department has set the box office expectation of "No Man's Land" at 200 million yuan, which is not a high figure for Ning Hao, the former box office king of the Spring Festival.

The main reason is that the content of the movie is too heavy. Although three comedians, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang, appear, and there are some humorous dialogues and scenes interspersed with it, the overall atmosphere of the movie is still depressing and dark.

All the characters are evil, and all the characters in the play were buried in the deserted wasteland. The only heroine with a human touch finally fell into the hands of the faceless police and disappeared in the long yellow sand!

This is a Ning Hao-style literary film, which is very different from his past commercial films. It is difficult to predict the acceptance of Chuhe Film and Television by domestic audiences.

"Zhixuan, is there anything special happening in the company recently?"

Kang Zhixuan replied calmly: "The dividends for the first and second phases of "Dallas Buyers Club" have all been paid into the account. The income from the later discs and videos will have to wait until the beginning of next year. Your personal screenwriter and director dividends have also been paid in." your private account,

According to your arrangement, the company's 3DIMAX shooting and production equipment has been equipped. In addition, Colorful Light has begun to produce the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage", with a planned investment of 60 million yuan. It is the most expensive animated film in China. Tian The overall spirit is very high, and their goal is to be on par with "Kung Fu Panda"! "

"Have aspirations and ambitions!" Shanhe smiled and continued to ask, "How are Xu Ke and Wu Ershan doing? How far has the film been filmed?"

""Detective Dee: The Dragon King" is still being set up, and special effects production has been started for two months. The investment of 150 million is considered a top blockbuster in China, and Director Xu is also very ambitious this time!

Kang Zhixuan paused and continued to answer, "The live-action shooting of "Painted Skin 2" has been completed, and the special effects production is still in progress. There will be no problem in releasing it by the end of the year!

Boss, when are you going to start filming "Gravity"? Disney has already responded. They fully accept your request. The film will be shot in the form of a Sino-US joint venture. The filming location can be set up. They will send a team to help set up the scenery. and filming, with Mr. Bruckheimer joining the cast as a producer! "

Shanhe knocked on the table and replied: "Wait a minute, our shooting plan has not been completed yet. The weightless lens and full green screen shooting have been determined, but the light and shadow capture methods need to be improved. The team has already figured out a way. I will also join next month, and I should be able to finalize the shooting plan in October!”

Kang Zhixuan nodded, "Boss, there is one more thing you should not forget. At the end of September, you will attend the Olympic Commendation Conference. The standards of this commendation conference are very high. It will be held in the Great Hall. You and Director Zhang will probably have to go on stage. When you speak, you have to be prepared.”

"I see!"

People are so mean, they get used to the busy mountains and rivers and after a few days of doing nothing, they feel exhausted.

Then he plunged into the experimental team for the filming of "Gravity".

In the past few months, the Chuhe Film and Television Elite Team organized by Shanhe has solved the problems of weightless shooting and virtual shooting.

The problem the team now needs to solve is the long-lens light and shadow capture effect required by Shanhe.

In the shot, the actors are floating around in space, and the various body movements and uncontrolled tumblings are embedded into the grand space background. It is simply impossible to complete using conventional shooting methods.

Not only are people moving in space, but the spaceships, the earth, and various stars in the background are also changing positions.

Also, once the human body rolls irregularly, the facial muscles will become distorted, making it impossible to maintain a normal expression!

This difficulty troubled the team for a full month. Finally, the opening ceremony lighting ceremony inspired Bai Yuxia. Looking at the phoenix on the circular LED screen on the eaves of the Bird's Nest, he came up with a brilliant idea.

Since people can't move in light and shadow, then light and shadow can't move if people don't move!

This idea was unanimously recognized by Shanhe, Ning Hao, and Xu Ke. The team designed a large box two meters square. The inner wall of the box was covered with LED screens, and the camera started various shooting experiments inside.

The effect was not good at first, but after continuous trial and error and improvement, there has been a technical breakthrough. Once this solution is successful, it will be a creative shooting technique.

Shanhe was full of praise for Bai Yuxia's photography talent and talent.

A week after Shanhe joined the experimental team, the plan basically took shape.

"Shanhe, our plan is to build a six-meter-high house composed of 196 LED display panels. Each LED panel contains more than 4,000 individually controllable light-emitting points.

When filming, the crew will display the pre-designed space exterior scenes or space capsule interior scenes on the LED board, and then the actors will stand in the center of the room to perform.

At that time, the actors do not need to move, they only need to focus on the performance. The light and shadow on the entire LED screen are moving, and the scene of people drifting or tumbling in space will appear in the camera! "

After watching the experimental footage in the camera, Shanhe couldn't help but give Bai Yuxia a big hug.

"This plan is perfect, hero. You will definitely become a master of photography in the future. This is so creative!"

Bai Yuxia smiled and said, "I just got it started, and the rest are all kinds of problems that everyone will solve together. Mountains and Rivers, "Gravity" has high requirements on actors. Not only are the acting skills very demanding, but also all kinds of actions and shooting You also need to train and adapt in advance!”

Shanhe nodded when he heard this, "I know that the production cycle of this movie will be very long. The special effects production alone is estimated to take more than a year. I will start the project preparations as soon as possible!"

"After these few months of research, I am really addicted to this kind of shooting experiment!" Bai Yuxia said firmly to Shanhe, "Shanhe, I have to make an industrial science fiction movie in the future!"

Shanhe gave Bai Yuxia a thumbs up, "You must be fine. When you are ready, I will invest in you!"

"It's definitely not possible in the past few years. I haven't even tried directing yet!" Bai Yuxia said while touching his head.

"Just try it if you haven't tried it yet! Come up with an idea yourself, and I'll help you polish the script. You're already twenty-eight, and Ning Hao started winning awards for "Incense" at your age!" Shanhe patted him. Bai Yuxia's arm encouraged.

"Then let me give it a try. I'll ask Jing Ming to help me write the script. Cicada Chrysalis and Lao Du can both help me!"

Shan He agreed: "Act when your heart strikes your heart! This is my experience, believe in yourself! If it doesn't work, I will leave "A Little Red Flower to You" to you to shoot!"

"Ah! I don't dare touch your novels. You have too many fans. If you don't do it, you might get sprayed to death!"

"Haha... you are just too timid. Whatever you want, then you can find the script yourself!"
