Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

After arranging for Tang Zhiyu to attend school and experience life, Shanhe flew to Los Angeles again.

The schedule of "Joker" has been set. On February 10 next year, the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival will be the world premiere of "Joker".

The entire film was produced and released at an absurdly fast pace, which would be unimaginable for any other project.

According to the conventions of Hollywood movies, the cycle of a movie from preparation to production and release is quite long.

Even a small-budget independent film will take at least one to two years, and a large-investment commercial film will take even longer. The three- to five-year cycle is the normal rhythm.

"Joker" is a special case!

On the one hand, Warner urgently needs this movie to restore the reputation of the DC Universe. On the other hand, Shanhe, an atypical screenwriter and director, has too strong appeal, and his films naturally have no shortage of popularity.

The movie has been in constant news since its inception. The topic has exceeded the promotional requirements of the movie. It has always been one of the most anticipated movies by movie fans around the world.

Even so, Warner still did not relax the promotion and hype of the movie. They were indeed frightened by the failure of "Green Lantern". If it happened again, the DC Comics Universe would really be stillborn.

Shanhe needs to complete the entire film in early January to give the wary Warner enough time for promotion.

It was precisely because of Warner's preparedness that Hathaway was forced to reluctantly leave her son and go to the United States with Shanhe.

Due to Warner's release and large-scale promotion of "The Dark Knight Rises", Hathaway, as the protagonist of the movie, Catwoman, has declined Warner's promotional invitations many times and cannot escape before the movie is released. publicity responsibility.

I had no choice but to return to Hollywood Vanity Fair with my husband unwillingly!

The plane flew smoothly into the sky. Shanhe unbuckled his seat belt, looked at his wife who still looked calm beside him, held her hand and asked softly:

"Why, you are still complaining, Annie, we can't stay with Little Bear forever!"

Hathaway held her husband's hand behind her back, turned around and replied:

"I know, but I just can't bear to leave him. Bernier should have woken up by now. When I think of him looking into my eyes and shouting, I wish I could turn the plane around and go home right now!"

"Ha ha…"

Hathaway's words reminded Shanhe of the happy time with his son during this period.

Ever since Shanhe allowed his son to taste the sweetness of his shoulder, the brat would scream all kinds of things when he saw him. As long as he sat on his father's neck, he would feel extremely happy.

Although the brat is noisy, he is really cute, lively and lovable. Being with him makes you happy and forgets about everything else.

While reminiscing about the joy of parenthood, Shanhe smiled and said to his wife:

"Don't you have to buy the 'Little Bear' when you go to Los Angeles this time? I see you guys are having a lively discussion!"

Speaking of this, Hathaway got excited. She let go of Shanhe's hand and took out several design renderings from her bag.

"Dear, look, this is the aircraft painting designed by Xixi for Bernier. It is a little bear with wings. Mama Xie, Grandma and I all like it very much!"

Shanhe took a look at the renderings and found that Qiu Chuxi's design was indeed very cute. The entire Gulfstream 650 was painted into a cute and naive cartoon bear, and the two wings turned into a pair of long and narrow wings.

"It's really great! How long will it take to get this thing?"

"It originally took at least half a year, but Gulfstream gave our order priority. Not only did it reduce part of the cost of painting and interior decoration, but it also promised to deliver the complete machine within three months. Mother Xie has already started the formalities. Please It’s a pilot!”

Shanhe couldn't help laughing and jokingly said:

"I am really willing to spend money on my eldest grandson. I would spend 100 million US dollars without blinking an eye!"

"That's not true! Mother Xie is a rich man!"

Hathaway also laughed,

"She also always said that the plane was too small. If it weren't for Doudou and Xiaoxiong'er's choice, she planned to buy a Boeing. It looks big and safe enough!"

"She has a double standard. She nags me at home every day to be a low-key person, but she is extremely high-key to her grandson!"

"Haha... Bernier is our biggest treasure now. My dear, I'm sorry that you already belong to the past tense!"

"That's unreasonable!"

"hehe…"

…

After arriving in Los Angeles, the couple separated and started busy.

Hathaway reappeared in Hollywood after more than a year, and the reception she received was unprecedented.

The public is really too curious about the daily life of the most special couple in the world, not to mention that they also have a child known as the "number one rich second generation".

Since the birth of Little Bear, the public has been extremely curious about the child's appearance and various information, but there is no definite information in the media.

There are various computer-generated portraits of little bears everywhere on the Internet. This child has always been the lucky one that the public talks about and envies.

Major European and American media have been offering high prices for photos of the little bear, and the prices are getting higher and higher as time goes by.

It is no exaggeration to say that if someone sends a photo of Little Bear to the media, he will definitely make a fortune that would stun ordinary people.

Of course they didn't succeed!

Shanhe is notoriously reluctant to be interviewed, and no one can force him to do so.

Therefore, as soon as Hathaway appeared, all major media in country M sent her interview invitations, and several well-known talk shows in the United States were even more enthusiastic.

Regarding this situation, the happiest person is naturally Warner. This couple, who have never failed since their debut, are the biggest mascots in the global entertainment industry, and now they are related to Warner.

Not surprisingly, in the next few months, Warner will wipe out its decline and come back strong!

The fact is exactly as they imagined. The addition of Hathaway has directly raised the popularity of "The Dark Knight Rises" to a higher level.

Hathaway is different from Shan He. She is an actor. Being interviewed is part of her daily life. Moreover, she does not resist interviews and talks enough. She often reveals some important information unintentionally.

For example, this interview with Hathaway on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" became a hit across the United States.

Hathaway has been interviewed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" several times in the past and is an old acquaintance with Ellen.

The communication between the two was very smooth, and they went straight to the topic without saying a few words.

"Annie, you know that I love children very much. I envy you for having a baby of your own. Not only me, but the whole world is now concerned about Bernie's situation. Can you tell everyone about him?"

"Well, he is a very lively and cute child. He loves to laugh very much and likes to be lively. His family members say that he looks very similar to Xi, Qiu's sister when they were young. He is the source of joy for the whole family!"

"What about your appearance? Do you look more like you or Qiu?"

"She looks more like a mound, but her eyes are very much like mine. They are always wide and looking around!"

Allen pointed to several composite pictures circulating on the Internet on the big screen and asked Hathaway,

"Which one of them looks most like Bernie?"

Hathaway looked at the big screen and saw that there was indeed a painting that was 70 to 80% similar. She smiled and shook her head.

"It's not like that, sorry! Our whole family believes that Bernie should be given a childhood like ordinary people, and he will not appear in the spotlight!"

"Common man, does this word have anything to do with Bernie?"

Allen laughed and joked,

"Annie, do you believe it? If Bernie comes to participate in the Ellen Show, I don't even have to appear. As long as he appears on camera, no matter what he does, the ratings of the show will be much higher than your interview in this issue!"

"Ha ha…"

Hathaway was also amused by Allen's comments.

After the laughter, Allen continued to ask:

"It is said that Qiu's mother is going to buy a Gulfstream 650 and give it to Bernier as a toy. Is it true?"

"Ah, how do you know this?"

"Come on, Annie, have you been away from Hollywood for too long? There aren't many things that can be kept secret here!"

"Haha... Mom Xie loves Bernie very much, but what you said is too exaggerated. The main purpose of buying the plane is to make it easier for me to take him home to see my parents in the future!"

"You don't need to explain!"

Allen smiled and replied,

"You and Qiu are among the top fifty rich people in Forbes. Qiu's mother is also a regular on the Forbes rich list. In fact, in addition to airplanes, yachts are also good. Annie, you should prepare one for Bernier too!"

"Ha ha…"

Hathaway covered her mouth and smiled. She had obviously been assimilated by Xie Meiyu these days. When she heard others say that her family was rich, her first reaction was to deny it.

"We are actually not as rich as reported in the news. Neither Qiu nor I are good at managing wealth, nor have we any special interest!"

"Ha ha…"

The whole audience was amused by Hathaway's answer, and Allen on the stage even leaned forward with laughter.

Only then did Hathaway realize that she seemed to have inadvertently repeated her husband's pretentious sayings, and she was also happy.

"Annie, you and Qiu are getting more and more in tune now!"

After a while, Allen wiped his eyes and continued jokingly,

"Do you need me to help you calculate your income now?"

"Okay! I admit it, we are indeed quite rich!"

After another burst of laughter, Hathaway continued:

"Chinese people believe that rich people should keep a low profile and should not show off or squander for fun. Qiu's mother has been nagging her about this at home!"

"Oh my god, isn't Qiu low-key enough? It turns out that legendary figures like Qiu are just like us, and need to face their mother's nagging from time to time. Annie, tell us about your daily life. Who did you and Qiu talk to at home? Calculate?"

"Haha... In fact, Qiu is usually a very casual ordinary person. He doesn't have any special hobbies, nor does he have much desire to control. He was not the one in charge at home. Now that Bernie is born, he His position has dropped a lot, and even his grandmother, who used to love him the most, gave Bernie all her love. For this reason, he often hugged his son and resented it. He always said to Bernier, when you grow up, I’ll let you know what a father’s sternness means!”

"Haha...poor Qiu!"

Allen laughed again with the audience,

"Annie, I can see that you are having a great time, and I envy you. You are so lucky!"

Hathaway nodded in approval without hesitation: "I was indeed blessed by God, allowing me to meet Qiu and become his wife!"

"congratulations!"

Allen did not continue to let Hathaway spread the dog food, and then asked:

"Getting married and having children changes everyone a lot. What about you, will you quit the entertainment industry to focus on your family?"

"It will reduce some work schedules!"

Hathaway replied, "But I will not give up my career as an actor. Qiu also supports me very much. He is currently imagining a new work. I will be the heroine in his work!"

"Wow! Annie, you are such an angel. Can you be more specific?"

"I spilled the beans again! No wonder Mr. Qiu said my mouth is too big!"

Hathaway laughed at herself while laughing, and then suggested seriously,

"Alan, I think we should turn the conversation to Batman!"

"Ha ha…"

…

Before Hathaway's talk show interview was over, the news that Shanhe was preparing a new work reached Bruckheimer.

More than half an hour later, Bruckheimer was harassing Shan Helai who was busy reviewing the color correction plan on the Warner studio.

"Qiu, you have a new work, is it a novel or a screenplay? Are you preparing it for Hathaway to compete for the Oscar?"

Shanhe's attention turned from the movie screen to the chattering Bruckheimer.

"How did you know?"

"The news that Anne just broke on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" has probably been spread on the Internet by now!"

"She still has such a big mouth!"

Shanhe complained about his wife, and then answered Bruckheimer,

"I will publish a book first. It's just an idea at the moment. The story and characters are not complete yet. I need to collect information and do some interviews!"

"What kind of information should you tell me? You know that I have a much wider way to deal with these things than you do!!"

"How can I forget you!"

Shanhe glanced at Bruckheimer,

"I plan to finish "Joker" first, and I have to start preparations for "Youth". Studio and green screen shooting are easy, but outdoor scenes are more troublesome! There is no rush for "Room"!"

"Is the new book called "The Room"?"

Bruckheimer nodded in response,

"I have been communicating with Zhong during the preparations for "The Young Man". We are planning to build an exterior set of Singapore in the 1950s and 1960s at Chuhe Studio. In addition, Singapore still has some old buildings. Of course, you still need to go and see the location in person. !”

"OK, are you okay?"

"Let's chat a few more words!"

Bruckheimer then asked gossiping,

"Qiu, how much do you think the box office of The Dark Knight Rises will be?"

Shan He glanced at Bruckheimer angrily.

"What, you still want to see Warner's jokes? "Batman" is not "Green Lantern", and Nolan is not Martin Campbell!"

"I know! I didn't say that "Batman" would fail. With the appeal of both of you and your wife, Annie might be able to break the Hollywood first-week box office record this time. "

"Well, what's the Hollywood opening weekend box office record?"

"Iron Man 2's first-week revenue of $140 million!"

"Then "Batman" will definitely break the record!"

When Bruckheimer heard this, he felt angry and frustrated.

"This bullshit comic book universe can be created by any fool in Hollywood's producers from now on!"

Shanhe looked at Bruckheimer and laughed, jokingly:

"How about you go and make a superhero for fun? I think that talkative "Deadpool" would be great!"

"Deadpool? The mean-mouthed mercenary from X-Men?"

Bruckheimer thought for a moment and then laughed out loud in surprise.

"Haha... Qiu, you are such a genius. The actor who plays Deadpool is Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds. The Green Lantern who jumped on the street turned into a red bitch. It's so interesting!"

"You don't take it seriously, do you?"

"Of course, how about you come and play too?"

"Not interested in!"

"No, Qiu, I can help you write an outline of the script!"

…

Hathaway's blessing is indeed very powerful. The three-day box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" in North America exceeded US$180 million during its first weekend in North America, pushing the North American first-week box office record a big step forward.

The explosive box office performance of comics-adapted movies is indeed terrifying, but its battery life is much worse, with the drop more than doubling in the second week!

However, in two weeks, the box office in North America exceeded US$300 million and the global box office exceeded US$500 million, which finally gave Warner a sigh of relief.

They also determined one thing, that is, they must have a good relationship with Shanhe and his wife. Their luck is so good.

Warner president Richard Parsons even came to thank him personally with gifts and checks.

During this period, he continued to promote the DC comic universe to Shanhe and Hathaway, and said that he could give the largest box office share.

However, Shanhe rejected him outright.

"Richard, I am a Chinese. I have never read DC comics. I have no feelings for comics. I am not suitable to be a superhero director. Marvel has also invited me, and my answer is the same. You should find A director who has a passion for comics, like Nolan!”

"That's such a shame!"

Richard Parson turned to Hathaway with a helpless expression.

"Annie, how do you feel about the script of "Catwoman"? We are very confident in this character. We can still discuss the salary and share."

Hathaway also failed to give the Warner president face.

"Richard, you know, I am a mother now, and the image of "Catwoman" is really inconsistent with my mother's identity. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't continue this role!"

Richard Parson couldn't help but feel unhappy and angry. No one in Hollywood had ever rejected him so directly.

But the two people in front of him definitely have the confidence. In terms of status, he is still below them!

He looked up at the smiling young couple opposite and still maintained his smile.

"Annie, you are such a great mother. I can understand your thoughts. "Catwoman" is indeed not suitable for your image. However, I have another suggestion that is very suitable for you. What do you think of "Wonder Woman"?"

Hathaway was a little surprised by the persistence of the bald CEO. She couldn't bear to refuse again and again, so she smiled and pushed the question to her husband next to her.

"Honey, what do you think?"

Shanhe looked at his wife, smiled and replied to Richard Parson:

"Richard, I don't object to Annie playing a superhero, but the prerequisite is that the script is acceptable. I'm not very optimistic about the role of "Catwoman". She is not suitable for starting the DC universe. I suggest you focus on "Superman" "On the body, Superman and Batman are the biggest highlights of the DC universe!"

Shanhe's answer surprised Richard Parson, and his inner unhappiness disappeared instantly.

"Qiu, thank you for your suggestion! There will be opportunities for cooperation between Warner and Chuhe Film and Television. Disney is not your only choice!"
