Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Speaking of publicity and hype, Disney and Scholar Press have cooperated quite skillfully around Shanhe's works.

Disney's auditions here are very lively, with various slogans and slogans everywhere.

"There is no doubt that Qiu's male lead represents success!"

"Challenge Oscar with Hathaway!"

"After "Yi Yi", another touchstone for talented actors!"

…

The Scholar Publishing House immediately announced the release date of "Room", which will be released on August 25th on all continents around the world on the same day.

The two capitals have already planned to bundle the movie "Yi Yi" and the novel "Room" for release, setting off a sales boom for Shanhe's works in September.

Although Shanhe had already decided the results, Disney's audition drama was still full of ups and downs.

There is no doubt about the final result. Jacob Tremblay, an unknown child, was an upset and eliminated all the popular child stars who had been hyped.

This June is too dreamy for the Jacob family!

The Jacobs family has nothing to do with the showbiz world. The father is a police detective and the mother is a housewife, but the couple are senior movie lovers.

There were three children in the family, Jacob Tremblay was the second eldest and the only boy.

By chance, little Jacob participated in the movie "The Smurfs 2" and showed some talent as an actor. However, Jacob and his wife did not believe that their son could embark on the path of a child star.

Their family doesn’t have the connections and conditions!

As for participating in the audition for "Room", it was just a matter of luck, and the family had no expectations of being selected.

But things are so incredible. Little Jacob's audition went smoothly. Although he was never a popular candidate, he finally got the role.

According to media reports, this is the result of Huaxia Qiuqin’s order!

This unexpected result is not only great news for the Jacob family, but also breaking news for the entire Vancouver.

The male protagonist in Hua Xiaqiu's movies, this is the biggest shortcut to success, look at who are the male protagonists in his movies in the past!

Leonardo, Lewis, Heath Ledger, these are all Oscar winners.

The most recent one is even more eye-catching, Fisher Tang. "The Young Man" has not yet been released, but he has been recognized by the media as the most promising star, and his future stardom is limitless!

As soon as the results came out, the Jacobs immediately became famous locally.

His father, Jacob Johnson, accepted congratulations and exclamations from everyone in the police station. The chief even opened the door to him.

"Johnson, I heard that Huaxia Qiu asked little Jacob to go to China for training. How about it? What are your plans? The bureau can give you a month's vacation!"

"Thank you Bob, Grace and I are still confused now. We still have two daughters to take care of!"

"I suggest you take little Jacob to China in person. This is a great opportunity. The whole of Vancouver is paying attention to little Jacob. Don't let everyone down!"

…

Jacob Johnson followed his boss's advice, left his wife at home to take care of his daughter, and took his son on the flight to the capital with anxiety.

However, the encounter in the capital of China soon made the two father and son put aside their uneasiness.

Chuhe Film and Television arranged their itinerary very well. From the moment they got off the plane, a small team was there to take care of the father and son during their exotic trip.

The welcome and reception from the Shanhe family also made the father and son very happy. This world-famous wealthy family is not as inaccessible as Johnson imagined.

The hospitality and daily life of the Chinese family opened their eyes to the father and son, and with the help of a lively and troublesome little bear, little Jacob quickly became acquainted with the Shanhe family.

Shanhe and Hathaway are also very satisfied with little Jacob. This child does have extraordinary performance acumen.

"Room" has two suitable leading actors, and there are no obstacles in the preparation work. Everything is proceeding according to Shanhe's plan.

Throughout June, in addition to the preliminary preparations for "Room", Shanhe had another thing that had to distract him.

"Bring Her Eyes", a film that Ning Hao has been planning and producing for more than three years and with an investment of 400 million yuan, will be released globally in mid-July!

This is the first science fiction blockbuster to be shot and operated completely independently in China. It can be said to be the premiere of China's science fiction film industry system.

The film brings together all the country's most cutting-edge film talents and equipment, and the domestic public's expectations for the film are no lower than those of Shanhe's "Gravity."

Chuhe Film and Television and China Film Group attach great importance to this film.

If the movie is successful, the Chinese film industry will usher in a period of rapid growth, and the film market will once again be pushed to a higher level of popularity.

If it fails, the blow to Chinese-language films will also be huge. It is estimated that Chinese-language science fiction blockbusters will be in trouble for a long time, and the investment in the development of Chinese filmmakers and the film industry will also suffer a considerable blow.

"Bring Her Eyes" is a special existence for Shan He, because he does not have this movie in his mind. It is a domestic science fiction blockbuster that was fanned out by his chaotic wings.

From the conception and preparation of the project, Shanhe witnessed and participated in the entire production process of the film.

He has full confidence in the entire team led by Ning Hao and has high expectations for this unprecedented film.

He has already watched the finished film in the screening room of Chuhe Film and Television, and the plot is very smooth.

Not only are the scenes grand and the special effects very impressive, but the story is also very touching.

The exploration journey to the center of the earth in "Sunset Six" was so shocking and moving that it caused bursts of exclamations in the internal screening room.

At the end of the movie, the calm self-narration of the "Sunset 6" navigator played by Zeng Li made everyone at Chuhe Film and Television in the screening room red-eyed.

Faced with Ning Hao's anxious inquiry, Shanhe gave an eighty-point evaluation.

Although the local plot connection is still a little rough and the special effects production level also has many flaws, the movie as a whole has reached the level of a general Hollywood production.

Moreover, the film has a great advantage. The narrative method is suitable for the rhythm of the Orientals and is also in line with the Oriental philosophy of doing things!

Chuhe Film and Television's expected domestic box office for the film is 1.5 billion yuan, and the global box office exceeds 500 million US dollars!

Shanhe feels that this expectation should not be difficult to achieve.

As of June, the promotion of "Bring Her Eyes" by Chuhe Film and Television has entered a fever pitch, and various promotional materials for the film can be seen everywhere in major cities in the country.

There are an overwhelming number of previews and interviews on the Internet.

Not only domestically, Chuhe Film and Television has also invested a lot of promotional resources abroad!

This time, in addition to handing over distribution in North America to Disney, distribution in other overseas countries will be independently handled by Chuhe Film and Television.

Zhong Lifeng is full of courage and has invested heavily in promotion and distribution in Asian and European countries. The entire Chuhe Film and Television understands that the success of "Bring Her Eyes" will determine the success of Chuhe Film and Television's plan to launch an impact on the European and American markets. be implemented smoothly.

Of course, Shanhe, the boss of Chuhe Film and Television and the leader of Chinese-language films, will come forward to support the show.

Not only did he have the name of screenwriter and producer, he also accepted various interviews with media from various countries along with Ning Hao and others.

Abroad, mountains and rivers are the film’s biggest publicity points.

Domestic media interviews Shanhe and rarely show up. This is Ning Hao's film, and his appeal is needed for foreign promotion, but domestically Shanhe does not want to overshadow it.

But Ning Hao doesn’t dislike it!

"Bring Her Eyes" is Ning Hao's first large-scale investment film, and it is also Chuhe Film and Television's largest investment besides Shanhe's project. From the beginning of the filming of the film, he and the entire team were under tremendous pressure.

Now that the movie is about to be released, he understands what this movie means to himself and Chinese-language movies. The pressure on him is increasing day by day, and he spends every day in anxiety.

Ning Hao hoped that Shanhe would share more of his burden for him. With the big tree like Shanhe supporting him, everyone felt much more comfortable.

No, as soon as the interview topic of CCTV's "Dialogue" program was confirmed, Ning Hao came to the disciples to force Shanhe into it.

In the studio, Shan He faced Liu Cixin with a helpless smile on his face.

"With Her Eyes" was adapted into a movie, and the one who gained the most was Liu Cixin.

Originally, it would take two years for him to become famous after winning Asia's first "Hugo Award" for "The Three-Body Problem".

But "With Her Eyes" made him famous in China in advance. Since Chuhe Film and Television began to promote it on a large scale, Liu Cixin's name quickly became famous in China.

The sales of his science fiction novels have increased dramatically in China, especially the first two volumes of "The Three-Body Problem" that have been released. They have received excellent reputation and received great response!

Liu Cixin looked at the mountains and rivers smiling wryly at him, and felt a lot of gratitude in his heart.

Ever since he took the liberty to visit Shanhe a few years ago, the relationship between the two has never been broken. Chuhe Film and Television has a soft spot for the copyright of his novel.

Almost all of his works were purchased at high prices. Shanhe's recommendation and support played a decisive role in his current success.

The interview started soon. The theme of this program is "Discussing the future of Chinese science fiction movies!".

Host Shui Junyi asked Shanhe the first question.

"Shanhe, you are the first director in China to direct a science fiction blockbuster. What do you think of the prospects of Chinese science fiction movies?"

"Well~ Science fiction movies are just a movie category, no different from martial arts and war themes. With the development and growth of the country, especially the rapid development of the aviation industry, the domestic public's demand and expectations for domestic science fiction movies have increased sharply. This This puts forward requirements for us Chinese filmmakers, and science fiction movies are precisely the type that best represents the film industry system!

Our Chinese film industry started from scratch and has been learning and catching up. Until now, there is still a huge gap between us and Hollywood, but it is not unattainable!

This time "Bring Her Eyes" directed by Ning Hao is an example. Unlike "Gravity" a few years ago, most of the filming and production of this film were undertaken by domestic teams. I am very optimistic about this film. movie, and also full of confidence in Chinese science fiction movies! "

Shui Junyi nodded towards Shanhe and turned to Ning Hao beside him.

"Director Ning Hao, do you agree with Shanhe's view? You became famous for small-budget realistic themes and have been deeply involved in this since. What made you change your direction and set your sights on large-scale science fiction themes?"

"How should I put it? In fact, we had the idea of ​​​​making a big industrial movie very early. When Shanhe invited me to join Chuhe Film and Television, they started to paint a big picture for me!"

"Ha ha…"

Ning Hao's answer not only made Shan He laugh, but also made several people on the stage and the audience laugh.

"Don't laugh. I really thought he was fooling me at first. Think about it. A rookie director who hasn't even graduated from a film school tells you that he wants to build his own industrial system and catch up with Hollywood. Isn't this a fantasy?"

"Haha..."

After another round of laughter, Ning Hao continued:

"Later, he used his actions to tell me that this is not a fantasy. I first joined the Disney "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew to learn for a few months, then he established the Colorful Prism, and finally used "Gravity" to break the shackles for us Chinese filmmakers!

After watching "Gravity", I had an extremely strong cry in my heart. I also want to make a science fiction movie , and also want to realize the dream in my heart. As soon as the idea came out, the entire Chuhe Film and Television supported me unconditionally. We all know that shooting a purely domestic large-scale industrial science fiction film will inevitably face many difficulties, but no one shirked or gave up. With the recommendation and support of Shanhe, I chose Liu Cixin's "Take Her Eyes", which is a touching science fiction novel. Shanhe and I like it very much! "

…

Shui Junyi handed the topic to Liu Cixin again,

"Liu Cixin, you are a frequent visitor to the domestic science fiction Galaxy Award and Nebula Award. What do you think of the prospects of science fiction novels and science fiction movies? Do you think "Take Her Eyes" will drive the popularity of domestic science fiction culture? "

"Science fiction novels It is said that it is a very niche subject in China. Although I have won many awards, few people knew my work before. In the past, I did not have much hope for domestic science fiction films, because filming science fiction films requires a whole system to support, requires huge investment, and has considerable risks!

But since I met Shanhe and learned about the development plan of Chuhe Film and Television, I changed my mind.

In fact, Shanhe and I met a few years ago. At that time, I was in a period of confusion in creation. After watching his "The Martian", I came all the way to Beijing to meet him and talk to him!

Fortunately, Shanhe received me at home. We talked a lot at the beginning. He said he wanted to shoot Shoot your own science fiction blockbuster, improve China's film industry, and give me a lot of creative suggestions and inspiration.

In 2009, when "Gravity" appeared in front of us, I and several science fiction writers were in tears. For us, this is the Tiangong-1 of Chinese science fiction, and "Take Her Eyes" is Tiangong-2. I am honored to be a part of it. I believe in Shanhe, Ning Hao, and Chuhe Film and Television. Chinese science fiction will have a bright future like Chinese aerospace!"

Next, the three of them discussed "Take Her Eyes", the development of China's film industry, and the significance of science fiction films to Chinese culture.

This program has caused a great response in China. The success or failure of domestic science fiction blockbusters is not just a simple film topic. To a certain extent, it represents China's national strength and represents the expectations and confidence of the Chinese people for the future!

Without a strong country and strong technology as a backing, it is impossible to have your own science fiction blockbuster!

The only country that can independently produce science fiction blockbusters is M country. Even European countries do not have this ability, and China will be the next one!

Within a few days, Liu Cixin's original novel of the same name became popular throughout China. On the Internet, people all over the country were discussing "Take Her Eyes".

"I'm so looking forward to it. This is another carnival for Chinese science fiction fans after "Gravity". Shanhe is awesome, Ning Hao is awesome, and Chuhe Film and Television is awesome!"

"I've finished reading the novel. It's so touching. I can't wait to see Sunset Six and the beautiful navigator Shen Jing!"

"Shanhe and Ning Hao are worthy of being the twin stars of Chinese movies. They have taken on the responsibility of revitalizing Chinese-language movies. Everyone should support them!"

"To be honest, I was touched by the conversation between the three of them. They are so right. Science fiction blockbusters are not just about movies. They are also representatives of China's growing strength. I'm very proud!"
