Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

February 14, 2010, is both New Year’s Eve in the East and Valentine’s Day in the West.

In the morning, as soon as Hathaway opened her eyes, she saw a bouquet of bright roses and an exquisite gift box on the bedside.

"hehe…"

She knew that this was Shanhe's Valentine's Day gift for her, and she also prepared hazelnut chocolate and a watch for her lover.

Shanhe is always so shy to express himself, even giving gifts is so reserved.

Hathaway picked up the flowers and sniffed them gently, a refreshing sweetness seeping into her heart.

Opening the gift box, there is a jade necklace lying inside. The dark green gemstones make it full of grace and elegance.

"Wow!"

Hathaway happily picked up the necklace and walked to the dressing table. She put it on her neck in front of the mirror. Looking at the gorgeous and elegant emerald necklace in the mirror, Hathaway was immersed in the beauty of love.

"Annie, do you like it?"

Shanhe didn't know when he walked behind Hathaway.

"I love your Valentine's Day gift!"

Hathaway raised her head and leaned into Shanhe's arms, "My dear, you should give me flowers and gifts in person, so I will be happier!"

"Okay! Next time I will comply with the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Shanhe smiled and said, "Annie, Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Honey, wait a moment, I have a gift for you too!"

Annie jumped up, took out the hazelnut chocolate and gift box from the bedside table and handed them to Shanhe.

"Happy Valentine's Day, my love!"

Shanhe took the chocolate and gift, smiled and immediately opened the gift box, picked up the watch inside and put it on his wrist.

"Like it?"

"Of course! This is my first Valentine's Day gift!"

Shanhe raised his wrist and shook Hathaway.

Hathaway hugged Shan He, leaned into Shan He's arms and said, "Qiu, do you know the origin of Valentine's Day?"

"I know a little bit, it has something to do with Christianity. Most of the Western festivals are related to Christianity!"

Hathaway nodded,

"Valentine's Day is also called St. Valentine's Day in the West. It is named after the love of the saint St. Valentine. He was imprisoned for resisting the tyranny of the Roman emperor, but fell in love with the daughter of the prison warden. Finally, he was executed on February 14th. Before execution, he left a long suicide note to his lover, showing his aboveboard heart and deep attachment to his lover. This love story is recognized as the most romantic love. .”

Shanhe looked at Hathaway, what's so romantic about this!

Come on, let me let you experience the romance of the Orientals.

"Annie, China also has Valentine's Day. We call it 'Qixi Festival'! On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year, it also has a beautiful love story!"

"Really? Tell me quickly!"

Shanhe told Hathaway the mythical story of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Meeting on the Magpie Bridge".

"Wow! Do magpies build a bridge for them every year? This is so dreamy!"

Shanhe looked at Hathaway with a smile and replied:

“Meeting on the Magpie Bridge is one of the favorite myths of Chinese literati, and many famous Chinese poets have left behind eternal good verses.

If your favorite love lasts for a long time, how can it last forever? ’ is a poem describing Chinese Valentine’s Day! "

"It's so romantic, Qiu, I love this story!"

Hathaway turned around and hugged Shanhe and murmured,

"This ancient poem is my favorite. It has accompanied me through many days of longing. This story has many similarities with our love. Maybe the magpies have built a bridge for us! Qiu, we will love each other every year from now on. Let’s celebrate this holiday!”

"hehe…"

Shanhe laughed, "Of course, but we won't be separated from each other!"

Hathaway kissed the corner of Shan He's mouth, "Of course not, I am not the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, but you are more like the son of God!"

"Ha ha…"

…

After a young couple spent the morning talking sweetly about Western festivals, they faced the traditional Chinese Spring Festival in the afternoon.

By New Year's Eve, all the chores that needed to be washed and rinsed were done.

In the afternoon, Shanhe, Hathaway and his sister were busy decorating the yard.

Pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging red lanterns, and pasting door gods are all Chinese customs. Hathaway also brought some Western elements to the home.

Westerners like to hang lanterns during festivals. She used red lanterns as the main color and circled the entire central courtyard.

Not to mention, when the power is turned on, the colorful lights illuminate the yard, which is indeed festive and warm, bringing a more festive atmosphere to the yard.

The four old men were full of praise for this, and Hathaway was extremely proud!

The biggest part of the festival is eating, which is the same in both East and West.

Compared with Western smoked and grilled dishes, Chinese stir-fried dishes come in many varieties. Fried dishes are most commonly used during Chinese New Year in rural areas. Deep-frying can be said to be the biggest source of aroma during the Chinese New Year.

This year, Ah Nai fried fried tofu and sesame balls. This is Qiu Chuxi’s favorite taste.

In order to satisfy her granddaughter's wish for fried chicken wings and drumsticks, Grandma marinated a pot full of chicken wings and drumsticks yesterday.

As soon as Qiu Chuxi smelled the fragrance, she immediately left her brother and sister-in-law behind and ran towards the kitchen.

Her favorite thing since she was a child was standing in front of the stove, watching Grandma frying things, smelling the aroma of oil, and watching the food bubble and roll in the oil pan. She was so greedy that her mouth watered.

Grandma always makes her mouth full of oil!

Hathaway is not as wanton and rampant as Qiu Chuxi. Actresses are most afraid of eating fried food. Not only is it easy to gain weight, but also prone to acne on the face.

This scent is really a devilish temptation for Hathaway.

Shanhe laughed when he saw Hathaway looking eager to try but full of concerns.

"Annie, today is Chinese New Year, you can choose your own food as you like!"

Hathaway looked at Shanhe and replied hesitantly:

"I have already taken over Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" and will start shooting next month. My character Catwoman has a certain body shape. Everything is good for the Chinese New Year, but there are too many food temptations!"

"Haha... give yourself a day off, and I'll work out with you tomorrow!"

"Hmm~ Never mind! Qiu, I'm going to find grandma!"

After Hathaway finished speaking, she left Shanhe laughing and ran towards the kitchen.

For actresses, the Chinese Spring Festival is indeed a difficult day. Watching other people eat with their mouths full of oil makes them drool with envy!

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the main hall of the Qiu family was already filled with a table full of various dishes.

But the two girls were already burping with their mouths full of oil.

Hathaway looked at the food on the big table, covered her eyes and said,

"My god! Being an actor in China is so hard!"

"Ha ha…"

The family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner.

Shan He pulled Hathaway to stand up first and toast the elders.

"Grandpa, grandma, teachers, teachers, mothers, parents, Annie and I wish you a happy new year, good health and all the best!"

"well!"

"My dear grandson, hurry up and give birth to a fat great-grandson for grandma with Annie. How happy the family will be!"

"Son, Annie, you have to do whatever your grandma wants!"

…

"Grandpa, grandma, teachers, grandma, parents, I also wish you good health and a smile. I wish our family will be together for four generations next year. Brother and sister-in-law, I wish you a long life together and the birth of a precious son and daughter!"

"Haha...my eldest granddaughter is the most adorable! Grandpa will give you a big red envelope later!"

"Xixi said it's auspicious, let's do what she said next year!"

"Next year, we will have a few more people in our family. Thinking about it makes me laugh out loud!"

…

After the New Year's Eve dinner, which was full of laughter, the family set up Hathaway's favorite mahjong table in front of the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala while playing mahjong.

Shanhe and Qiu Chuxi became waiters watching from the sidelines. Shanhe was because his skills were too poor, but Qiu Chuxi was because he played so well!

However, this could not stop Qiu Chuxi's enthusiasm. She became an on-site commentator and coach, often analyzing the logic of the cards for everyone.

She even served as a consultant to Hathaway, and the mahjong table was filled with joy as she chirped.

The Year of the Tiger has arrived with joy.

As of New Year's Eve, the box office of "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" in its first week and four days was 140 million yuan, with the highest single-day box office of 43 million yuan.

The film's good reputation has laid the foundation for a box office explosion during the Spring Festival.

Breaking the long-term dominance of "Avatar" in the country, Chuhe Film and Television's campaign against "Avatar" was very successful.

At this time, the total domestic box office of "Avatar" was 1.2 billion yuan, and it was impossible to reach the level of 1.7 billion yuan in the previous life.

At the same time, the box office data in Asian countries is also very gratifying.

Hong Kong Island’s first week sales were HKD 13 million, and Taiwan Island’s sales were NT$ 25 million in the first week.

Neon's box office of nearly 300 million yen in its first week and Bangguo's box office of nearly 1.8 million US dollars in its first week both exceeded Chuhe Film and Television's expectations.

Southeast Asian countries also brought nearly $6 million in first-week box office to "Detective Dee: The Dragon King."

The box office of "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" in Asia exceeded RMB 300 million in its first week.

This is an extremely impressive result, but it is a pity that at this time, the exaggerated data of "Gravity" have made the country's eyes too high.

You must know that the global box office of "Gravity" exceeded 800 million yuan on its first day.

"Detective Detective Dee: The Dragon King" did not create any particularly big buzz at the box office during its first week.

It seems that the domestic public has been spoiled by Shanhe's several movies, and the global box office has not exceeded 100 million US dollars. Is this worth saying?

Shanhe's Spring Festival holiday was very leisurely. Apart from spending time with his family during the New Year, there was only one real job.

Accompanying Hathaway to participate in the recording of an episode of "Interviews with Yang Lan".

After Hathaway came to Beijing, the media reported intensively on her and Shan He. Most of them speculated that something good would happen between the two. The content was basically made up, but the domestic public still enjoyed it.

The topic of Hathaway and Shan He has been one of the hot topics on the Internet for a long time. Everyone gossips and talks about the two in all kinds of weird ways.

At the same time, Hathaway and Shanhe received so many interview invitations that they could fill Yangliu’s desk.

Yang Liu suggested that the two of them accept a public interview with domestic media, which would not only satisfy the public's desire for understanding, but also bring some positive help to the two.

Shanhe and Hathaway readily accepted Yangliu's proposal. In the end, among "A Date with Lu Yu" and "Interview with Yang Lan", Shanhe chose "Interview with Yang Lan".

He is really tired of the title "Tell Your Story"!

From the first to the third day of the new year, apart from calling a few friends and leaders to pay New Year greetings, Shanhe spent the rest of the time celebrating the Spring Festival with his family.

The whole family went out to visit the temple fair in Beijing, walked to Tiananmen with a few elderly people, and enjoyed the warm winter sunshine in the North at the Summer Palace.

However, the three celebrities Shan He, Hathaway and Qiu Chuxi were all dressed up, especially Hathaway, for fear that the three of them would attract public attention.

Xie Meiyu had the foresight to let the three of them follow her from a distance.

Hathaway's features are too obvious. Let alone reporters, anyone who takes a serious look at her appearance will quickly expose her appearance.

This is the fact. At the temple fair, Hathaway lifted up her mask to eat candied haws, and was recognized by the stall owner. If the three of them hadn't escaped in time, they would have been surrounded.

They are often recognized on the street by fans and moviegoers in Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace. The development of Internet information has compressed the living space of celebrities to the minimum.

On the Internet, there is a dazzling array of street photos and gossip news about Shanhe taking his girlfriend and sister to temple fairs and outings, which were made a joke by fans of Shanhe and Hathaway.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shanhe took Hathaway to the recording site of "Interview with Yang Lan".

Yang Lan and Shanhe are no strangers. They met when they applied for the Olympics in 2001 and are considered old acquaintances.

"Shanhe, Annie, happy new year!"

Yang Lan greeted the two at the studio door with a smile on her face.

"Welcome to "Interviews with Yang Lan" as a guest, Shanhe, we haven't seen each other for five or six years, right?"

Shanhe shook Yang Lan's hand and responded with a smile:

"Sister Yang Lan, happy New Year, I haven't seen you for a while, but I remember your style when you were bidding for the Olympic Games in Lausanne. You are an outstanding representative of Chinese women! You are dignified, wise and tenacious!"

"hehe…"

Shanhe's compliment made Yang Lan laugh.

"It is an honor for me to be remembered by you. Watching you soar into the sky and continue to create miracles, I am really happy and emotional. When you were just a teenage boy, you have already made amazing achievements. I didn't expect that. It turns out it’s just the beginning!”

"You have to grow up! I'm lucky!"

Shanhe introduced Hathaway with a smile,

"Annie, this is Sister Yang Lan. I have known her for almost ten years!"

"Sister Yang Lan, happy New Year, I am Qiu's girlfriend Anne Hathaway!"

"Annie, welcome to the show as a guest, your Chinese is excellent!"

"Thanks!"

Hathaway laughed and joked,

"I'm still studying. Qiu told me that if you don't know Chinese, you can't be a Chinese wife!"

"Ha ha…"

…

The recording of the program was very relaxed. The three of them talked a lot about the past as if they were meeting old friends. Shanhe talked less. Hathaway's first Chinese interview was very conversational.

She answered most of the questions first, and Shanhe followed up with additions.

Hathaway has much more interview experience than Shan He, and Westerners are much more expressive than Easterners. She revealed a lot of information in the show, some of which she had heard for the first time.

The entire column team was very satisfied with this interview. Yang Lan was even amused several times by their love experience, and was also impressed by Hathaway's accuracy.

"Shanhe, Annie, this program should premiere on Dragon TV the day after tomorrow. The program team has started promoting it from the day you were interviewed. Thank you again for accepting my invitation. I am very happy to share your happiness and happiness together. Fate, I wish you happiness and everything goes as you wish!"

"Thank you Sister Yang Lan! We will watch the show on time. This is Annie's first Chinese interview and she is very excited!"

Hathaway even gave Yang Lan a farewell hug,

"Sister Yang Lan, call me when you get to country M. Let's go shopping together when you have time!"

“OK! I miss the steak at Musso \u0026 Frank Grill, it’s my favorite Western food!”

…

Just after recording "Interview with Yang Lan", Qu Ling called me.

The review of "The Life of Yi" has been completed. There are almost no changes, except for correcting some careless grammatical errors in Shanhe. This review is more like a proofreading.

In the past ten days, the news that Shanhe's new book has been completed has been widely circulated in the literary world of Shanghai, and has even been posted on the Internet.

The entire standing committee of the Magic City Writers Association reviewed Shanhe's manuscript, and during the three-day symposium-style discussion, not a single word was changed.

This news made Shanhe book fans full of expectations for "The Life of Yi", and they all asked about the release date of the new book.

Two years have passed since the publication of "Dallas Buyers Club". The global craze it caused at that time is still talked about by many book fans now.

What can Shanhe’s new work bring to the world this time?

The public is looking forward to this!

"Xiaohe, "The Life of Yi" is so well written! I read it again yesterday, and your first draft has been polished enough. Wang Anyi and others praised this book endlessly, and I have sent you the manuscript. Go back and see for yourself!"

"Aunt Qu, I don't want to change it anymore. The writing method of this book is a bit different. I almost drew it into a comic strip!"

"Haha... Okay, I'll arrange the distribution right away. Scholar Publishing House is already urging me. Do you and Zhixuan have an English version of the manuscript?"

"There are some, but not complete! Zhixuan has been busy negotiating share exchanges with Disney recently."

"Send it over first! Scholar Publishing House and I will take care of the rest."

"Okay, I'll send it to you in a moment, I don't care about the rest!"

"By the way, don't you have illustrations? Pick a few and send them over together. You can choose the cover from your illustrations!"

"Okay! I've already made my selection. I'll choose the one with the man-tiger confrontation as the cover, and you can arrange the others into the book!"

"Xiaohe, will your next movie be an adaptation of "The Life of Yi"? Mr. Zhao said you already have a complete movie in your mind!"

"Ah, Mr. Zhao has such a sharp eye! The movie will definitely be approved soon, but the preparation time should be long, and special effects production requires a long production period!"

"Okay, I don't know anything about making movies, but Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Group wants to cooperate with you. He will probably look for you after the New Year. You have to keep this in mind. Shanghai Film Group's influence is not small. Don't It seems that it is not dead now, but its roots are very deep in China, I will also explain this to Xiao Zhong!"

"I know, Aunt Qu!"

"Xiaohe, congratulations again on writing a novel that can shock the world's literary world. Aunt Qu is happy and proud of you!"

"Thank you! Aunt Qu!"

After ending the call with Qu Ling, Shanhe fell into a daze.

I have completed another adapted writing, and a new book is about to be released. What will my next book be?

His continuous writing has enabled him to develop a living habit of constantly being in a state of writing.

The official completion of "The Life of Yi" suddenly put him into a hiatus, and it seemed that his whole person became empty.

The film and television adaptation of "The Life of Yi" has actually begun preparations.

Colorful Light has started modeling the background based on the illustrations of Shanhe.

The graphics and scenes of "Life of Yi" are more complex than those of "Gravity", and the estimated 3D special effects production time is no less than one and a half years.

There is still a long way to go before the project actually starts.

Shanhe can be said to be truly idle.

After the New Year, what should I do?

Just as Shanhe was lost in thought, Hathaway and Qiu Chuxi rushed out of the room.

"Brother, "Gravity" received ten Oscar nominations, which is the most for any movie!"

Hathaway's arm around Shanhe also said happily:

"You and Cameron have to compete again at the Oscars. "Avatar" received nine nominations. Best Picture and Best Director will probably be your competition again!"

Shanhe was stunned for a moment. In his memory, "Avatar" was not the winner of this Oscar.

Cameron's ex-wife Katherine Bilog is the one who has won the most awards.

He couldn't remember who the best director was, but the best picture was definitely "The Hurt Locker."

It is always said that the Golden Rooster Awards favors domestically produced films with the main theme, but Chinese people are still very clear about their bias towards their own films with the main theme!

"The Hurt Locker" was a good film, but it was a bit reluctant to win the best picture.

The main reason is to promote the values ​​​​of Country M to the world. In addition, it is also due to the popularity of feminism in Country M.

After all, being the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Picture, this gimmick is big enough!

In his previous life, Cameron's limelight was stolen by his ex-wife.

How much of a butterfly effect can the chaos of "Gravity" bring to this Oscars?

Shanhe suddenly lost all thoughts of being a bitch and became very interested in the changes he was about to bring!

It doesn’t matter whether you win an award or not, the greatest sense of accomplishment lies in changing the future!
