Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The Mao Dun Literature Prize award ceremony is over, but the impact has just begun.

Due to the live broadcast of CCTV 1 and Tudou.com, this year's Mao Dun Literature Award was not exclusive. Many literature lovers and melon-eating people witnessed the speeches and discussions of several winners.

The speeches and opinions of several writers quickly spread on the Internet, arousing discussions among literature lovers and book fans.

Shanhe's speech became the most eye-catching topic on the Internet that afternoon.

People born in the 1970s and 1980s have always been the main group of Internet users, and most of them, like Shanhe, have entered the society and tasted the bitterness and helplessness of life.

The pressure brought by family and work, reality and society are so different from their expectations, which really makes most of them feel confused and helpless!

Shanhe's statement for the younger generation touched their hearts.

"Shan He said it very well. In the past ten years, I have moved from rural areas to county towns, from county towns to regions, and then to the metropolis of Beijing. The changes have been so great that we really did not have time to react. We have been there all the way. Drifting with the times!”

"Yes, we used to be so young and frivolous, thinking that the world was ours. Now we realize that the world is indeed ours, but the pressure brought by the world is too great. The road ahead is long, and we have to bear the burden and move forward. !”

"Shanhe speaks of the helplessness of our generation! When we were in elementary school, there was no money to go to college; when we wanted to go to college, there was no money to go to elementary school; when we were not able to work, jobs were assigned. When we could work, we had to beat our heads and bleed so hard that we could barely find a job that would make us starve to death!”

"That's just the beginning for you, what's next is terrifying. When we can't make money, the house is allocated. When we can make money, we find that we can no longer afford the house. When we are not old enough to get married, When we were young, we could marry a wife by riding a bicycle. When we reached the age of marriage, we couldn’t marry without a house or a car. When we didn’t find a partner, girls were concerned about their hearts. When we were looking for a partner, girls were concerned about money. Yes! You’ve been entangled with money all your life!”

"You're so right. In the past, we were said to be the defeated generation, but now we realize that we are the most helpless generation!"

…

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Shanhe's words have aroused collective resonance among the people born in the 1970s and 1980s on the Internet. The various changes of the times encountered by the younger generation have formed a growing craze on the Internet.

How should the younger generation face the great changes of the times and find their own self-worth?

This issue has suddenly become a matter of debate and discussion among all sectors of society.

The next day, "Dazhong Daily" published an editorial with the title "Creating a new era" at the end of Shanhe's speech, explaining to the younger generation the vitality and opportunities that this renaissance era has brought to the country and the nation, and calling on young people to take on their responsibilities. The times have given them responsibilities.

"National Youth Daily" also issued a call to the younger generation to "run like mountains and rivers" with the theme of "Take responsibility and seize opportunities"!

CCTV also reacted very quickly. On the day after the Mao Dun Literature Award, CCTV's "Focus Interview" column planned a program "Rising Amid Change", preparing to interview outstanding representatives of the younger generation in turn. Shanhe, a young man, A generation of opinion leaders is at the top of the list.

Facing the camera, Shanhe briefly talked about his advice and encouragement to his peers in the courtyard.

"There is no big reason. This is the reality we face. There are a lot of helplessness but also more opportunities. You can complain and complain, but in the end you still need to put your head down, think and work hard!

Classmates, we have grown up, and it is time to shoulder the responsibilities we should bear. Complaining blindly is just the cry of the weak. Ten years ago, I said that we are not the beat generation. Ten years later, we will also We will not be a helpless generation. Carrying forward the past and facing the future is the biggest test that the times have given our generation. Believe me, we can do a good job! "

…

As soon as the interview team of CCTV's "Focus Interview" was sent away, before Shanhe could sigh, Zhang Yimou followed him.

Zhang Yi, who is over sixty years old and has a wrinkled face, is still full of energy and creative desire. He does not seem to care about the dispute with Zhang Weiping.

However, Shanhe's warning did work. Mad dogs were afraid of sticks. Zhang Weiping knew very well that Shanhe had the ability to ruin his reputation and leave him with nothing.

He quickly paid off the withheld dividends, and the fate between Er Zhang and Zhang probably ended here.

Zhang Yimou is a frequent visitor to the courtyard and is familiar with Shanhe's family. After holding the little bear and teasing him for a while, he and Shanhe sat under the grape trellis and made a pot of tea as usual.

"Your son is growing up very fast. He is already crawling all over the floor within two months!"

Shanhe poured tea for Zhang Yi and responded casually:

"He's just taller but not wiser. We haven't seen each other for a month. He can't even remember me clearly. As soon as I hugged him, he punched me in the face with his little fist!"

"Ha ha…"

Zhang Yimou looked at the mountains and rivers and laughed,

"Children are all like this, even Mo Mo, Yi Nan, and Yijiao were the same when they were young. When I went out to shoot a movie and came home, I burst into tears as soon as it started!"

Shan He looked at the smiling Zhang Yi, sipped his tea and asked:

"Does Zhang Mo also want to be a director in the future? I heard that she is already working as an assistant director on your crew?"

"She is not as talented as you, she is just a mediocre person. Since she has this interest, I, as a father, can only do my best to support her!"

Zhang Yimou took a sip of hot tea, looked up at the mountains and rivers and said,

"I want Mo Mo to go to Chuhe Film and Television to study with several young directors for a period of time. She really won't learn much under my wing!"

"Okay! Just tell Yang Liu later, and she promises to arrange everything for Zhang Mo!"

Shanhe responded immediately, gave Zhang Yi some tea, and then asked,

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhang Yimou looked up at the mountains and rivers, sighed and replied:

"You must have worked hard behind your back this time. Senior brother, I have to thank you, otherwise I would have been in a lot of embarrassment. Alas, once a person's face is torn apart, his face will become so hateful!"

Shanhe smiled slightly and responded:

"A gentleman bullies others! Yang Liu said you are too honest. Zhang Weiping is nothing without you as his partner!"

Zhang Yimou didn't want to talk about these dirty things anymore, so he shook his head and responded:

"Forget it! This matter is over, let's make peace and let go. I really don't want to get entangled in these things!"

Zhang Yi drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and continued to say to Shanhe,

"I just want to make my movie properly. Once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of well ropes and mountains and rivers for ten years. From now on, I will cooperate with Chuhe Film and Television. You kid is not short of money!"

Shanhe burst out laughing when he heard this, gave Zhang Yi some tea again, and joked:

"Brother, what you said is so shabby. Your family burden is not as heavy as usual. Even if I am short of money, I can't take it from your pocket!"

"screw you!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and scolded Shanhe, and then said in high spirits,

"Now that my illness is over, I feel relaxed, and all the themes in my mind suddenly come out!"

Shan He smiled and answered: "Really? You, Director Zhang, are a famous fast shooter and workaholic. Tell me!"

"We are the eldest, not to mention the second. Your hands and feet are much faster than mine!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and replied,

"After reading your "Ephemeral Universe", I think I should try to break through myself. I plan to try it from three aspects: plot telling, color artistic conception and special effects production!"

"Are you talking about one movie or three movies?"

"Three parts!"

Zhang Yimou raised three fingers to the mountains and rivers,

"One is adapted from Yan Geling's novel "Lu Yan Shi", and the script is already in progress; the other is inspired by Akira Kurosawa's "Shadow Warrior", the story is already available, but the script has not yet been written; and Hollywood Legendary Pictures sent me a script a few days ago. They want to make a fantasy historical drama about the Great Wall resisting monsters. It will invest heavily in special effects and large-scale production. They probably want to use me to find Chuhe Film and Television to cooperate!"

Shan He looked at Zhang Yi in surprise, "Good guy, you are really good at making movies in wholesale mode. You are worthy of being an old monster who gets more and more evil as he gets older. You made three movies in one breath!"

The three movies are all memorable and I can relate to them. They are all Zhang Yimou’s old works:

They are "Return", "Shadow" and "The Great Wall".

The first two parts were fine, but the last one was a huge pitfall!

Shanhe frowned and asked:

"Brother, I don't care about your creativity, but I have to ask about Legendary Pictures' scripts. Most Chinese stories written by foreigners are nondescript!"

Zhang Yimou nodded, and then told Shanhe the outline of the script "The Great Wall".

Sure enough, it was a familiar plot. Shanhe shook his head and said to Zhang Yimou affirmatively:

"This script is not good. A white thief actually became the savior of China. He is a stinking piece of shit above the typical Western white people. No Chinese can accept this kind of story!"

Shanhe then complained softly,

"The Megalodon is ten times stronger than this!"

Zhang Yimou's ears were very pointed, and he immediately answered and asked:

"What's The Meg, your new script?"

"No! How can I have time? After filming "Joker", there is also "Young Yi" waiting for me!"

Shanhe shook his head and replied,

"I read a novel in Hollywood called "The Great Shark of the Abyss". Why don't you read it too, senior brother? It's much better than this bullshit "The Great Wall"!"

"Of course I can trust your judgment!"

Zhang Yimou took a sip of tea and said,

"Actually, I had a lot of doubts about the invitation from Legendary Pictures before. I've heard of the rules of Hollywood. Directors don't even have the right to edit. I just watched Ning Hao and the others make Sunset 6 in the previous paragraph, and I felt a little itchy. I thought Find a special effects movie to try!"

"hehe…"

Hearing this, Shanhe laughed and teased Zhang Yi,

"Brother, I'm not laughing at you. If you take this role, you'll probably have to ask the producer for permission to even change your lines!"

"No way! Then why the hell are you called a director!"

"Don't believe it, in Hollywood, most Chinese-American filmmakers are treated like this!"

"Hold!"

…

Zhang Yimou was not polite and had lunch at Shanhe's house before leaving the courtyard.

In the evening of that day, Shanhe also said goodbye to his relatives and embarked on a journey across the Pacific Ocean again.

While Shanhe restarted the filming plan for "Joker", the controversy caused by his speech at the Mao Dun Literary Award continued to expand in China.

A nationwide discussion trend of "New Era, New China, New Generation!" spread online and in reality.

The person at the center of this trend is now making demands on Tim Robert, the chief producer of "Joker".

"Tim, the filming plan for the movie has come to an end. I need a composer who can touch the soul with music. I need the movie's soundtrack to have operatic charm. I need a genius to compose a sinful epic!"

"Qiu, what do you think of Hans Zimmer? You have had a perfect collaboration, and he is also the composer of "The Dark Knight". He should be able to meet your requirements!"

Shanhe was very impressed by the soundtrack in the original film "Joker", but he had no impression of which composer composed it.

Hans Zimmer's score is majestic and epic. Shanhe has some doubts about whether he can create a dark score. However, Hans Zimmer is indeed the best choice at this time. It seems that the score himself also needs to participate.

"OK! Tim, how long will it take for Hans to start writing?"

"He's already started!"

Tim Robert replied proudly,

"Qiu, Bruckheimer and I are not just freeloaders. As soon as your script is completed, we have already started to arrange everything. We have a complete set of plans for the entire promotion of "Joker" and have already started. The Super Bowl at the end of the year. The first movie advertisement is "Joker", and the movie will also be the opening film of next year's Berlin Film Festival!"

When Shan He heard this, he looked at Tim Robert and was furious. You guys have even booked the schedule. I still don't know anything about it. Damn Warner, let me kill him first and then show him off!

Pretend I don't exist or test my bottom line?

If you don't get a little angry, you might even plan to interfere with the editing rights!

No wonder I haven't seen Bruckheimer these days. This old fox knows that he will be unhappy and let Tim Robert be the bad guy.

The proud Tim Robert was preparing to accept Shanhe's praise. In his mind, it was a Hollywood practice for producers to get everything done in advance, and Shanhe would not have much objection.

Shanhe's expression did not change, he just glanced at it and asked lightly,

"Tim, do you think I am a director or an investor now? If you Warner can handle everything, I can quit the crew now and you can take over!"

"NO~sorry!"

Tim Robert was shocked by Shanhe's understatement. He really didn't expect Shanhe to react so strongly.

The rule over the power of Hollywood producers is almost a law. Even Cameron has to discuss with the producers, but Shanhe in front of him is a special case!

Not only is he a great director who has never failed, he is also a capital giant on par with Disney. Moreover, the president of Warner is also trying to win over him to restart the DC universe!

Tim Robert really can't afford to offend!

"Mr. Qiu, you misunderstood! We have not ignored your meaning. These are just regular movie promotion operations. Of course, if you feel that the schedule is not suitable, we can discuss it again!"

Shanhe glanced at the frightened Tim Robert,

"Tim, let me give you a suggestion. You should call Jerry here immediately!"

"Okay, okay! You are right, I will go find him now!"

Shan He looked at Tim Robert walking away and couldn't help but grin. He must have thought that Bruckheimer, the old gangster, was snickering right now!
