Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The preparations for "The Instant Universe" have meant that Shanhe spent a lot less time with his wife, but Hathaway is not just idle either.

"Inception" is about to be released, although she has missed most of the promotional activities due to pregnancy.

But Legendary Pictures will not let her, a global business darling, be used as a decoration. Since you are pregnant and can't come, it doesn't matter, let's go to the capital.

The convenience of the Internet allows Hathaway to not be in Hollywood, but it can still become the biggest promotional selling point before the release.

After all, Hathaway's marriage and pregnancy are huge good news for "Inception."

Since Shanhe and Hathaway got married, both of them have kept a low profile and lived in seclusion.

But contrary to expectations, the various news that kept coming out has kept the couple at the center of attention, and the global public is waiting to see the gossip about the two.

As the leading female "dream builder" in "Inception", Hathaway has the obligation to cooperate with the publicity. Facing the interview and filming team sent by Legendary Pictures, she had no reason to refuse.

Shanhe's family members don't have any objections to this. As long as Hathaway stays out of their sight and doesn't work too hard, the interview will be just that!

The older generation has the traditional Chinese mentality of "everyone who comes is a guest". Not only did the four old people not object, they treated the entire interview team as guests of Hathaway's family and entertained them very warmly.

This gave Hathaway a lot of face in front of her compatriots, and she was filled with happiness and joy throughout the interview.

The interview team has a good understanding of the public's curiosity and attention, and knows what the public likes to see.

The interview did not focus entirely on the movie, but included a lot of clips of Hathaway's daily life during her marriage and pregnancy.

As soon as these interviews were posted online, the number of clicks instantly skyrocketed. The global public was so curious about the daily life of this global model couple.

The two of them have just entered the Forbes rich list. They are so young, so famous and rich. How is their ordinary life different from ordinary people?

As a result, people around the world were moved by Hathaway's radiant face and warm daily routine.

The simplicity and enthusiasm of the four old people made the public feel unexpectedly happy, warm and envious.

"Hathaway is so lucky. God favors her so much. She has everything in love, money, fame, and looks. Even Hua Xiaqiu's family members are so interesting and lovely, and they are really good to her!"

…

"Hathaway has gained some weight, but she is much prettier than before. She feels like she is surrounded by a halo, and you can tell that she is having a good time!"

…

"Qiu's grandfather, grandmother and master and grandma are so interesting. Their yards are beautiful!"

…

"Hathaway's daily feelings are not much different from ours! It's completely different from what I imagined!"

"Money can't buy warmth and joy. I envy Hua Xiaqiu and Hathaway's families for not being spoiled by money. Alas, money is really not a good thing sometimes!"

…

"Why didn't Shanhe appear on the scene? I still want to see the two of them messing around!"

…

Several interview videos were surprisingly effective in attracting traffic, and the promotion of "Inception" was brought to a climax by Hathaway.

In the two days since the video interview was broadcast, interviews and guest invitations from domestic and foreign media came to Hathaway like snowflakes.

Hathaway only used an ordinary interview to prove Forbes' evaluation of the couple, and their commercial value is immeasurable!

Shanhe had no time to pay attention to his wife's interview at this time.

The various preparations for the film took up most of his energy, especially Bruckheimer’s shit auditions.

The entire Chinese film and television agency circle was disturbed by this character.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei both called Shanhe. Liu Xiaoli and Zeng Jia even ran to Chuhe Film and Television when they saw the sky. They really entangled Yangliu.

Both sides are doing their best for this role.

Zeng Jia offered to star in the film for free, and was even willing to use Jiaxing Media's shares in exchange for the role.

Liu Xiaoli was more direct, placing Liu Yifei's ten-year contract in front of Yang Liu.

But these don't have much appeal to Chuhe Film and Television today, and Yang Liu doesn't have a good impression of these two people.

One is mercenary and the other is short-sighted, both are not good partners!

One sentence qualifies this matter:

"This is Shanhe's project. Do you think these things can affect his thinking in casting? It's useless for you to tell me about this!"

Both of them regard each other as their biggest competitors. Yang Mi and Liu Yifei are the top stars in Huaxia Xiaohua. This role is very suitable for both of them.

In the minds of Zeng Jia and Liu Xiaoli, the candidate was either Yang Mi or Liu Yifei. As for the auditions, it was all propaganda and hype.

Both of them were confident about winning this role.

It stands to reason that Liu Yifei and Yang Mi do have this confidence. One is a co-star with Shanhe Films in their debut film and is recognized as the most powerful actor of the new generation. The other grew up in Country M and is a natural fit for the role.

But these are all their self-righteousness and wishful thinking.

Here at Shanhe, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei were excluded from the candidates from the beginning.

Ever since Shanhe cast the cast for "The Instant Universe", Yang Mi was the first to jump out of Shanhe's mind.

Originally, she was indeed the best candidate to play Joey. Shanhe and Yang Mi worked well together in "Bottom Hot Girl" and he also had a good impression of Yang Mi as a young girl.

Have aura, be able to endure hardship, and be ambitious!

Shanhe has always been optimistic about Yang Mi's acting prospects, thinking that he would change her acting career.

But things were different from what Shanhe had imagined. Shanhe's intrusion did give Yang Mi a dreamlike beginning.

But character determines destiny, and the impact of mountains and rivers is obviously not enough to completely change everything about a person.

Yang Mi still followed the same path of the previous life. Even though it was a bit more dazzling than the previous life, he still focused all his energy on making money.

All kinds of manipulations not only made her reputation in the circle worse and worse, but her acting skills barely improved at all, and her aura became less and less.

What disappoints Shanhe the most is that she actually went for medical beauty treatment, which is a taboo for movie actors.

Any director with some pursuit will not use plastic surgery, and no matter how advanced medical beauty technology is, it cannot bring natural beauty to people.

Film actors are a very professional and meticulous industry. Facial expressions and body language are the necessary foundations for film actors.

Everyone is born with their own unique characteristics. Even if you are not beautiful, as long as your characteristics are obvious enough, you will still be appreciated by the director.

This is what actors call recognition. God's reward is not only about beauty, but also about acting skills and temperament.

Neither Gong Li nor Zhou Xun are particularly beautiful, but they all have their own characteristics, not to mention Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, both of whom are ugly in their own style.

Nenniu Wufang is not without its merits. The face shape can be adjusted with styling and makeup, or the shooting angle.

After sharpening your chin, you become much more beautiful, but you have completely lost what originally made you unique from God.

Plastic surgery or medical aesthetics not only destroys the actor's innate characteristics, but also brings many obstacles to performance.

In the IMAX ultra-clear camera, any subtle facial expression of the actor can be captured clearly.

Plastic surgery will inevitably bring disharmonious and unnatural expressions, and no director can accept this!

Shan He felt very sorry for this, but this was Yang Mi's choice. It was not bad to be a top star, at least he would not lack attention and wealth.

Liu Yifei Shanhe has also considered it. Her growth experience is similar to Joey's.

This helps her grasp the character, and it can be regarded as a true performance, but can Liu Yifei's acting skills support this role?

This is a comedy movie. Joy is not just a Chinese girl in the film, she is a villain boss. Not only does she have to have a certain aura, she also has to have an exaggerated look and a sense of absurd joy!

Moreover, Joey in the script is an ordinary Chinese girl. She even needs to be different from others to gain recognition from others.

Liu Yifei is too beautiful and does not meet the requirements of the role.

What is Liu Yifei's character? She is a fairy sister!

Her performance as Joey was dissonant and had the audience on edge every minute!

As for popularity and traffic, these are not within the scope of Shanhe's consideration. His works are not lacking in these!

Shanhe politely answered the two girls on the pretext of seeing the audition results.

Apart from these two top young talents born in China after 1985, there are still many others recommended by acquaintances and agents.

Even Liu Sisi and Tang Yan are eyeing this role.

Yangliu alone has backup information for more than ten or twenty girls.

Shanhe saw familiar names such as Ma Chun, Zhou Tongyu, and Yang Zi.

Yang Liudu couldn't help but asked about this out of curiosity.

"Boss, among so many candidates, is there any one you are more optimistic about?"

Shanhe handed the information back to Yangliu,

"Aren't you conducting auditions? Now that the word has been released, let's follow the rules. You guys will make the decision in the first and second rounds, and I will choose in the third round!"

Yang Liu took the folder, spread it out on the desk, and joked with a smile:

"You're still keeping this a secret from me. Help our agency choose two backup girls!"

Shan He looked at the smiling Yang Liu, lowered his head and pointed at the three photos of Ma Chun, Zhou Tongyu and Yang Zi, and replied:

"These three kids are a bit interesting, you can sign them and have a look!"

Yangliu followed Shanhe's fingers and looked at the photos of the three of them.

"Boss, we really have the same vision as heroes. This Ma Chun is Jiang Wenli's niece. She has no shortage of resources. Yang Zi is a child star and has no shortage of fame. But this Zhou Tongyu is a newcomer!"

"I'm just making a suggestion, and you can take care of the rest by yourself!"

Shanhe did not continue this topic, but asked about the situation of Tudou.

"What's the status of the Tudou incident?"

"We're still talking about it!"

Yang Liu put away the folder and replied casually,

"Wang Wei is still holding on. He can't hold on for long. This lawsuit will take at least half a year. I think it will be over in two months. He will get nothing by then!"

Shanhe smiled and responded:

"Let's just accept the conditions! Don't let the duck fly!"

"Haha... I can't fly! Tudou.com is worthless in the eyes of those peers. We have almost finished the entire Tudou.com. We are Wang Wei's only choice!"

Shanhe nodded and asked casually:

"You and Sister Zhong must be behind this matter! Can Yang Lei make such a big splash?"

"Boss, you must underestimate Yang Lei! She is a senior host at Shanghai TV, and this woman is quite ruthless!"

Yang Liu smiled and replied:

"Besides, scumbag men should be punished when they get it. Wang Wei is such a scumbag. He fell in love with someone else just a few months after getting married. He didn't feel any guilt at all. He actually set up a trap to make his wife clean up and leave the house. This kind of person is really not a thing. You deserve to be ruined!"

Shanhe shook his head and smiled, then asked:

"How are you going to plan the future of Tudou.com?"

Yang Liu put away her smile and replied seriously:

"I'm just telling you about this. Let's see when you have time to meet Chen Rui from Kingsoft Software. We plan to let him take over as CEO of Tudou. This person has the right abilities and qualifications. We have already contacted him. That's almost it. Once we complete the merger and acquisition, with Jiahe's film library and the strength of Chuhe Film and Television Production Department, Tudou will be able to take off very soon!"

"Okay! I trust your vision, you decide!"

Shanhe smiled and answered:

"I will remember the credit, and the share structure of Chuhe Film and Television will be adjusted at the end of the year. In addition, you all go to the car dealership to pick out a new car, and I will pay the bill!"

"Really?"

Yang Liu laughed again in surprise,

"I have long wanted to buy a new car and drive it, but I just couldn't bear it. This time I have to choose the most expensive one!"

"Pick whatever you want!"

Shan He looked at Yang Liu and then gave her a direction,

"One more thing, I am very optimistic about the prospects of online dramas. There are few restrictions on the subject matter of online dramas, the investment is not large, and they are also suitable for training new directors. Tudou can work hard in this aspect in the future!"

"Web series?"

Web dramas were still a new thing in 2010. Yang Liu knew the concept, but he had always looked down on the crude web drama routines.

"Is it an online short drama like "Hip Hop Quartet" or "Fanatical"?"

Shanhe nodded and answered clearly:

"Yes, don't underestimate these low-cost, fast-food short dramas. The Internet will develop faster. In the future, a mobile phone can replace everything. Young people's entertainment style will be faster-paced. Online dramas are very suitable for this rhythm! "

Yang Liu naturally believed in Shanhe's judgment and responded immediately:

"I understand! I will communicate with Sister Zhong about this, and Tudou will set up a special online drama department!"

"Okay! Are you okay? I'm going home. You and Sister Zhong can come over for dinner when you have time. My mother was still talking about you yesterday!"

"That's just right. We also plan to find time to see Annie in the next two days!"

…

The smoothness of life and work makes time fly by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it’s the day when “Inception” premieres in China.

Hathaway was absent from the Hollywood premiere. Due to the difficult situation in China, Shanhe had no choice but to attend the premiere with Hathaway.

The domestic premiere of "Inception" was a week later than that in North America. The film has already caused a box office storm in North America.

It grossed US$75 million at the box office in the first three days of its first weekend and has received a huge reputation.

Among them, Hathaway made a great contribution. She replaced Ellen Page in the role of "Dream Builder", which brought the film a first-week box office increase of more than 15 million US dollars.

The box office of the original film barely exceeded US$60 million in its first three days.

In addition to the box office bonus, Hathaway's performance in the movie was outstanding, which attracted praise from the media.

After Hathaway married Shanhe, her identity changed. In the eyes of the domestic public, she became a serious member of her own family.

Her situation is unique in China. A marriage turned a Hollywood superstar into a domestic superstar. This situation has never happened before!

Rare things come at a premium, and Hathaway's popularity has been exploding in China recently.

This can be seen at the premiere of "Inception" this time.

The entire premiere scene was several times more lively than the organizers imagined. A few hours before the premiere, fans and tourists rushed to the scene one after another, and the entire China Film International Cinemas was packed.

Many fans even held signs supporting Yamaha Hathaway.

This is a scene that has never happened before for a Hollywood movie to premiere in China.

More than half of the movie fans and melon-eaters came to the scene because of Hathaway, the daughter-in-law of a Chinese Hollywood superstar.

When Shan He and Hathaway walked onto the red carpet, the cheers from the audience could be heard miles away.

A Hollywood movie premiere actually had the feel of a concert.

Hathaway was dressed in a women's suit. There were still not many signs of pregnancy on her lower abdomen, but she had obviously gained weight again, but she didn't feel bloated, and instead looked more radiant.

The media reporters on both sides sighed and kept taking pictures. He was so lucky in this world. God had given him all the good things.

Amid the cheers of movie fans, Shanhe waved and followed his wife's footsteps across the red carpet, and unexpectedly saw Jiang Wen and his wife in the cinema hall.

After a simple greeting, Zhou Yun took Hathaway to share her experiences in pregnancy and childbirth.

Shan He and Jiang Wen naturally avoided private communication with women.

"You don't want to see such an occasion, why are you here with your wife?"

Shanhe spread his hands and replied helplessly:

"Hathaway is the only focus of the family now. My mother drove us to the scene in person. How can I not accompany her!"

"I really envy the harmonious atmosphere in your family. If my mother and daughter-in-law could live in such harmony, I would laugh out loud in my dreams!"

“Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite!”

Shanhe looked at Jiang Wen with a wry smile on his face, patted his arm, comforted him and changed the subject.

"By the way, Lao Jiang, when will your movie "Let the Bullets Fly" be released? I'm the star on the poster!"

Jiang Wen was happy when he heard Shan He talking about this.

"Haha... special guest starring! This was not my idea, but the effect is so good! Your popularity is really boundless, so I gave you two seconds of footage in the trailer, and European and American distributors grabbed it The fight is about to start. When the movie is released in December, I think the foreign copyright alone will be able to recoup more than half of the investment. With the early sponsorship, the movie has not even been released yet, and it has already made money!"

Shanhe replied angrily:

"You are such thieves. As soon as I saw the poster, I immediately wanted to run to your house and scold you. I have never seen such a thief!"

"Ha ha…"

Jiang Wen laughed and replied: "Brother, I owe you once. I can't hold my breath this time. I have to straighten my back and make a lot of money. It's not about money, it's mainly about having fun! "

"You're so happy! I shudder when I think about this damn child's eight-year-old age. This damn girl's image is completely ruined!"

Jiang Wen continued to laugh forward and backward,

"Stop being pretentious! You Shanhe are still afraid of this. Your funny video made the whole world laugh. Look, you have discovered your comedy talent and started making comedy movies!"

Shan He rolled his eyes at Jiang Wen and said smoothly:

"You, old Jiang, have to worry about me. This time, I think "Let the Bullets Fly" will put a satellite into the sky!"

"How big is the satellite? You guys put a spaceship into the sky. It's over 20 billion. It's really not a human thing to do this!"

"My situation was a special one, and people all over the country were supporting me. We can't use it as an analogy!"

"makes sense!"

Jiang Wen looked at Shan He and asked, "How much box office do you think "Let the Bullets Fly" can have?"

“I think it’s very possible to break one billion!”

"Can there be so many?"

Jiang Wen responded with excitement, waving his hands and doubting,

"I feel like having 600 million would be a big deal. You alone can bring at least 100 million to the movie at the box office. Without your cameo, I feel like 500 million would be in vain!"

"Old Jiang, where did your passion for bragging about us go? You should say this, one billion is not difficult, it is just a small goal for me!"

"I'm not as awesome as you!"

…

Except for Hathaway replacing Ellen Page, "Inception" is no different from Shanhe's Memory.

Nolan's commercial talent is fully demonstrated in the movie. This movie can be said to be the most commercial of his many movies.

The plot is full of creativity, the plot is smooth and moving, and the special effects are shocking enough.

Coupled with Hathaway's popularity, the domestic box office of this movie is estimated to be at least 500 million.

China's film market has entered an explosive period. Soon, it will no longer be rare for a single film to exceed US$100 million.

And this data is a good enough result in Hollywood.

The facts did not surprise Shanhe. In the first four days, "Inception" took away nearly 130 million yuan in domestic box office revenue.

This data far exceeds the first-week box office of Neon, the world's second largest movie market.

It caused exclamations from Hollywood studios.

They unanimously turned more attention to China.

As the box office reputation of "Inception" continues to explode, the preparations for "Instant Universe" are gradually coming to an end.

The casting audition for the last role of daughter Joy has also come to an end.

Shanhe took several actress information and looked back and forth to compare.

In addition to Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, there are also Ma Chun, Zhou Dongyu, Yang Zi and a second-generation Chinese American named Xu Weilun.

Shan He looked around and saw that Xu Weilun seemed to be the actor in the original version of Joey.

It turns out she is so old! Born in 1990, I was already in my thirties when I was cast in "The Instant Universe", and I haven't changed much!

As long as domestic florets can meet the minimum requirements of Shanhe, Shanhe will not hire an M countryman.

This is not discrimination, but a natural emotional recognition. Compatriots who are worthy of the name are much more fragrant than a person from M country with yellow skin and white heart!
