Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

In early August, all preparations for "Room" were in place. Shanhe immediately started filming the movie at the Chuhe Studio without any delay.

The initial investment for "Room" was US$70 million, which seemed like a lot, but in fact most of it was the Shanhe couple's salary.

Shanhe's basic copyright fee of 10 million U.S. dollars, fixed remuneration of 25 million U.S. dollars for the director and screenwriter, plus a 15% box office share, already accounted for half of the investment.

Coupled with Hathaway's salary of 20 million US dollars, the global box office share is 500%.

The couple earned hundreds of millions of dollars from the filming of this movie.

The actual funds used for production are just over 10 million, and the post-production publicity expenses are estimated to not be much.

With the name of the Shanhe couple and the original novel of "Room", this movie is born with the gene to attract public attention.

The couple's huge remuneration was worth every penny, and Disney and Chuhe Films were extremely happy with the money.

Today, Shanhe and his wife have become a veritable big brother. With them, there is almost no risk in making money!

Although there was no opening ceremony or press conference, the news was still informed by well-informed reporters, and then spread to the world.

The Shanhe family is one of the important sources of gossip for the global entertainment media. Especially after the exposure of the little bear, the Qiu family no longer deliberately hides the child. The little kid Qiu Yanche wears the hat of "the world's richest second generation" and is famous in the world. The popularity in various countries is not low.

As Little Bear grows older, the family cannot keep him in the courtyard all the time. They will always take turns taking him out to see the outside world.

The paparazzi keep a close eye on the family, so street photos and short videos of Little Bear and his family will always appear on the Internet and gossip media from time to time.

Little Bear is very curious about these paparazzi who often follow him and work blindly on him.

These people are so stupid. Why are they following me with a big tube?

While walking with his grandfather in an alley, he even took advantage of Qiu Jiang to buy him pancakes and ran directly in front of the paparazzi with Doudou.

Then, a scene happened that Qiu Yanche would regret for the rest of his life when he grew up!

The little bear was wearing pure cotton crotchless pants made by his grandma, with a pair of peas and a little Jiji exposed, and the paparazzi captured him standing proudly with his hands on his hips facing the camera.

This photo spread all over the global Internet the next day, immediately amusing the global public, and quickly spawned the emergence of a large number of "Little Bear Party" on the Internet.

"Haha... Little Bear is so funny. Look at his little expression and it matches perfectly with his crotchless pants!"

"I burst out laughing. Bernier definitely inherited Hua Xiaqiu's talent for comedy!"

"Haha... I had similar photos when I was a kid. The Shanhe family is so down-to-earth, no different from us ordinary people. This will definitely become the biggest scandal for Xiao Xiong'er in the future!"

"These pants are so cool! They are convenient and cool, and they perfectly show the boy's aura. Why not promote them in M ​​country?"

…

Because of the moment when the little kid stood upright, "crotchless pants" became popular in Europe and the United States!

Don't tell me, there are fashion designers who got inspiration from it. Of course, the actual effect is not as bold and powerful as Little Bear's, and a backing is added inside!

The Qiu family was equally happy about it, and Hathaway even had fun all day long!

At this time, Little Bear liked his photos on the computer so much that he just shouted at the screen:

"It's me, it's me! It's Little Bear!"

Even in front of several laughing elders, he vividly restored the pose in the photo!

Once again, the whole family laughed up and down.

Xie Meiyu picked up her grandson and kissed him.

"Grandson, don't look at the camera like this anymore, everyone will laugh at you!"

"Grandma, the little bear is beautiful!"

"That's right, my grandson still looks awesome in his crotchless pants!"

"Ha ha…"

Afterwards, Shanhe asked the reporter for an original copy to keep as a record of Little Xiong'er's growth.

This photo became the biggest "dark history" of Qiu Yanche in the future. The handsome and handsome Qiu Yanche couldn't bear to look back and regretted it!

Speaking of the filming of "Room", this is the first time that Shanhe and Hathaway have worked together. Naturally, there is no shortage of media reports from various countries.

As a result, we have more interpretations of Shanhe's unpublished work.

"Hua Xiaqiu came here to fight for the Oscar for his wife..."

"After Hathaway became a mother, she played the role of mother. She not only acted in her true self, but also broke through herself!"

"Hua Xiaqiu once again chose a realistic theme after "Dallas Buyers Club". He is not satisfied with commercial box office success and is still looking for breakthroughs!"

"The happiest woman in the world is none other than Hathaway. She has a perfect family, wealthy elders who get along harmoniously, a genius husband who loves her, and a little bear that everyone loves!"

…

The underground space setting on the set isolated the chatter from the outside world, and the atmosphere on the crew of "Room" was very contradictory.

This is a depressing story, because it takes place in a sinful setting, and the filming scene is naturally filled with sadness and melancholy.

But the crew members were surprisingly relaxed. Compared to "The Young Man", the filming of "Room" was on a sketch scale, and everyone felt almost no pressure.

As a director, Shanhe is also very relaxed, and he is very confident about the filming of "Room".

His personal experience in Austria, his novel writing experience, and the memory of the original film in his mind gave him strong control over the entire film.

As soon as the filming of the movie started, he even used Wong Kar-wai's shooting method, putting aside the script and shooting plan, and arranging the shooting scenes according to the emotional performances of Hathaway and Jacobs.

This brings huge convenience to Hathaway and Jacobs' performances.

For Hathaway, she has been preparing for the role of Elizabeth for nearly a year.

Her observation and personal experience with the Fletschler family gave her a deep understanding of Elizabeth's experience.

With more than a month of training and life experience, she quickly brought the energetic Jacob into the performance atmosphere.

There was almost no running-in period for the performances of the two actors, and they got into rhythm right from the day the filming started.

However, the crew's photography, lighting and behind-the-scenes work slowed down the filming progress.

If they want to fully understand Shanhe's ideas, they need time to adjust!

However, Shanhe was not in a hurry. Through constant discussions and communication, the filming progress was still not slow.

In the Shanhe Project, this scene of the mother and son alone in the basement will be immersed in warm warm tones. The mother and son are bathed in light anytime and anywhere, even with some dreamy feelings in fairy tales.

The camera focuses on parts of the room, using a large number of close-ups and close-ups to highlight the smallness of the space.

Even static shots are used to stabilize the image to show the living conditions of mother and son in a small space.

Of course, sports shots will also be used at appropriate times to highlight the tense and intense scenes in the play.

Like the novel, Shanhe still shoots the entire story from a child's perspective, which allows the audience to have a more immersive visual experience and bring emotions into the encounter between mother and son.

It allows the audience to feel the situation of mother and son more intuitively, and enhances the audience's resonance and understanding of the film.

He hopes to use this lens language to tell the audience that this is a sad story born out of sin, but it has extremely pure true feelings!

In the scene after walking out of the basement, Shanhe decided to use cold-toned lighting on a large area.

The camera shifts to the mother Elizabeth's point of view, more long shots will appear in the scene, and the angle will change from a narrow to a wider perspective.

Let the audience be separated from the dependence of mother and son on each other, and watch the future of mother and son as bystanders.

He wanted to tell the audience that society is cruel and human nature is too complex. It is not enough for mother and son to escape from being hurt by law and sentencing alone!

They need to face more obstacles to escape their spiritual dilemma and reintegrate into human society.

Shanhe hopes to use lens language to describe a fact: Human beings need a higher moral system to maintain some innate pure emotions!

The filming of "Room" is going more and more smoothly on the Chuhe studio.

In mid-August, half of the entire basement scene was completed. According to this progress, the filming will be completely completed in September.

At the same time, the novel of the same name "Room" has also started online pre-sale on Amazon.

Ever since "Room" entered Amazon's recommendation list, it instantly shot to the top of the list. Shanhe's accumulated book and movie fan base is so huge!

The global storm caused by "Youth" two years ago is still fresh in the minds of the public, so one can imagine the anticipation for this new work "Room".

As soon as the online pre-sale started, the "Room" page on Amazon Book Store was clicked by countless eager Shanhe fans.

On August 18, the pre-sale data of "Room" exceeded 1.5 million copies in one day, and Amazon China alone contributed more than 200,000 pre-sales volumes.

After "Youth", it once again broke Amazon's pre-sale record for literature books!

In the next seven days, the pre-sale data continued to rise due to the continuous promotion by Scholars Press and Amazon, and finally stayed at the terrifying value of 3.4 million.

On August 25, the day "Room" went on sale around the world, the shrinking physical bookstores around the world experienced a rare sales boom.

Major bookstores around the world are well prepared. They all use the sales of "Room" as a promotional tool to promote the charm of physical books to book fans.

“Only paper can carry the weight of culture!”

"Accompanied by the fragrance of books, you can appreciate the moving power of books!"

"Reading is a kind of enjoyment and a kind of inheritance. Books not only bring you tranquility and pleasure, but also respect and inheritance of knowledge. Whether it is given to yourself or to relatives and friends, it is a very tasteful gift. "

…

In addition to various promotional posters for "Room", there are various promotional slogans for physical books in the bookstore.

For bookstores, the release of Shanhe's new book is the most glorious moment for physical books. They hope that this brilliance can help them resist the erosion of the Internet and give physical books more living space!

The rampant use of the Internet has indeed brought a huge crisis to the offline publishing industry.

Not only are many people accustomed to using mobile phones or computers to read books, but more people have lost their hobby of reading because of the richness and variety of online entertainment!

At the main store of Xinhua Bookstore in the magical capital, Zhou Yuedong, who is over fifty years old, looked at the rare bustling scene and was filled with emotions.

He is about to retire. As one of the oldest employees of Xinhua Bookstore, he has witnessed the entire contemporary history of Chinese literature.

The frying boom of the 1980s, the sunset of the 1990s, and the decline of the new century all flashed through his mind.

Here, countless writers' works have been published, and hundreds of writers have held on-site signings.

Wang Anyi, Jia Pingwa, Yu Hua, Ma Yuan, Liang Xiaosheng, and Mo Yan, who just won the Nobel Prize for Literature last year, are all familiar to Zhou Yuedong, a well-known writer.

But what impressed him the most was Shanhe. This child's talent and achievements were so outstanding!

He was deeply impressed by Shanhe's first diary novel, "From City to Field", the first cry of a thirteen-year-old child!

Because this book was recommended by his old friend Zhao Changtian to their Xinhua Bookstore and the Department of Education, he even remembered Zhao Changtian’s words:

The child who wrote this book is only thirteen years old and still a junior high school student. What a genius!

At that time, no one cared about it. There were so many geniuses, but only a handful of them could truly realize their talents!

But Lao Zhao was indeed right that time. After the first book was put on the shelves of Xinhua Bookstore, this child began an incredible rise.

For more than ten years, he has been writing non-stop, constantly refreshing the ceiling of China's publishing industry and literary circles.

Starting from "We Are Young People", every novel released on the shelves can trigger a wave of sales boom, which continues and gets bigger and bigger!

Zhou Yuedong still vividly remembers Sunward’s on-site autograph signing here decades ago.

That was Shanhe's first on-site autograph signing. He was still a minor at that time, with a green face, but his behavior was very mature and he already had the demeanor of a writer.

It is very sincere from beginning to end, and it is also polite to readers, fans and bookstore staff.

Have fun talking to yourself!

At that time, Zhou Yuedong knew that this child's future was limitless. After Shanhe left, he told everyone:

This child is very likely to be China's future literary leader!

Even with this kind of mental preparation, Shanhe's subsequent experiences still made him amazed again and again!

He not only fulfilled his prophecy in China, but also broke the Western world's barriers to Chinese literature around the world, and powerfully took the crown of European and American literature.

His writing style and genius imagination have even made people around the world crazy about him!

At this time, Shanhe was still under thirty. In the next few decades, he would be a leading figure in the world!

The last Chinese genius like this probably dates back to Su Shi and Su Dongpo. It really makes the Chinese people proud!

Perhaps being able to witness his genius journey is also a kind of luck of the times!

"Mr. Zhou, our physical books still need writers with appeal. Look at this scene. I haven't seen it for a long time. It would be great if there were more mountains and rivers in the country!"

"It's a blessing to have one like this. How many more do you want?"

Zhou Yuedong looked at his successor beside him and responded with a smile,

"Xiao Li, the bookstore will rely on you from now on. Keep at it, I don't believe that books will disappear from people's lives."

"I will! I also believe that the spring of physical books will come again. For novels like "Room", only by holding the book in hand can the charm of it be reflected to the greatest extent!"
