Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

When a new official takes office, three things will happen!

La Peikang has great expectations for the designation of Shanhe and Chuhe Film and Television. As the chairman of China Film Group, he not only focuses on the development of the domestic film market, but also focuses on expanding the overseas communication influence of Chinese films.

"Mountains and rivers, China has ushered in a new era, and our Chinese movies must also move towards a new era. In 2014, the total box office of Chinese movies has exceeded 35 billion yuan, essentially becoming the second largest film market in the world. In 15 It is expected that the annual box office will exceed 45 billion in 2018. However, in the next two years, the number of imported movies will increase significantly, from 30 to 80. The challenges faced by domestic movies are still huge. We need to have a large number of films. To support the dominance of Chinese-language films, large-scale productions are also needed to spread Chinese culture to the outside world. You and Chuhe Film and Television must carry the banner of Chinese-language films!"

"La Dong! You are exaggerating!"

Shanhe responded with a smile:

"China Film Group is the national team, and it should be China Film Group that carries the banner of Chinese-language films. Chuhe Film and Television and I will definitely shoulder our responsibilities under the leadership of China Film Group. We are very confident in Chinese-language films!"

"Ha ha…"

La Peikang smiled and replied to Shanhe:

"You don't have to be modest. In terms of production and distribution, Chuhe Film and Television is second to none in the country. Culture is not sports. It does not rely on the national team, but on many private experts. Chuhe Film and Television is the leader among them!"

"Shanhe, you don't have to be polite!"

Han Sanping answered from the side and said:

"We at China Film Group have received instructions that the country needs us to produce some works of quality and dissemination. The current domestic film development is somewhat deformed. Small-cost comedy films are flooding the big screen. Chinese-language films need large-scale production, especially in heavy industry. With big investment, Ning Hao has already taken over the filming of "Fortress", but one movie is not enough, we need more!"

Shanhe nodded to Han Shanping, and then replied with a smile:

"The leadership's instructions are the direction of our Chuhe Film and Television. In addition to "Flying Tiger" which has been prepared in cooperation with Brother Chen, Chuhe Film and Television will plan a new science fiction series, and the investment scale will be larger than "Bring Her Eyes" Big, when the time comes, Uncle Han and Mr. La should help more!"

"Oh, we like to help with this. Is this your new project? Tell us about it!"

"Well~ Let's adapt Liu's science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" very much in line with the traditional values ​​of our Chinese people. When a disaster strikes, what we think about is not abandoning our home, but how to protect it at all costs. I The initial idea is to use a trilogy to tell this story, and the first part is expected to invest 500 to 600 million yuan!”

As soon as Shan He finished speaking, La Peikang continued to ask:

"The theme and idea are great, and the planning of the trilogy is even better. Do you plan to adapt and direct it yourself?"

Shanhe smiled and shook his head,

"Chuhe Film and Television and I both hope that more new generation directors will come forward to shoulder the heavy responsibility. There is no shortage of talents in Chinese films, but there is a lack of opportunities. This time I will be a producer to protect them!"

"Have courage!"

When Han Sanping heard this, he gave Shanhe a thumbs up.

"If you ask me, your greatest advantage, Qiu Shanhe, is not your genius, but your mind and courage. We trust your vision and we will all support you!"

"Old Han is right. You ask Chuhe Film and Television to submit the planning outline, and I will be responsible for helping you pass the review. We will not hesitate to ask for money or people!"

"Haha... Then I'll thank the two bosses first!"

…

The conversation between the three people was not deliberately kept secret. The surrounding big names in the Chinese film industry heard their conversation and couldn't help but be shocked by Shan He's words!

The investment for the first part of the trilogy "The Wandering Earth" was 500 to 600 million yuan. It is the first heavy industry science fiction film series in Chinese films, and the director is not Shan He himself. While it feels incredible, I can't help but be impressed by Shan He's courage. I'm blown away. It's so courageous. Such a big project is actually used to cultivate new people. I really don't know where Shanhe's confidence comes from!

The night after the "Charlotte Troubles" celebration party, the news that Shanhe and Chuhe Films were planning China's first heavy industry science fiction series spread throughout the Chinese film and television industry.

The next day, the news of the "Wandering Earth" trilogy spread mysteriously on the Internet, arousing much attention and discussion among the domestic people, especially many science fiction fans across the country, who were full of excitement about the news. Confidence and expectations were raised, and the discussion was particularly exciting and lively.

"Here I go, Shanhe's great work is here again. I have read "The Wandering Earth". Liu's classic novel, although it is not as grand as "The Three-Body Problem", has a grand background, but it is really suitable for the values ​​​​and aesthetics of us Chinese people!"

"It's indeed good news, but why doesn't Shanhe direct it himself? What a pity!"

"I believe in Shanhe's vision and the production capabilities of Chuhe Film and Television. Ning Hao's "Bring Her Eyes" is a classic, and this time it will definitely be no different!"

"A trilogy, the first part invested 600 million. Only Chuhe Film and Television can do this. Shanhe is courageous. China really needs more science fiction commercial directors to come forward. Shanhe and Ning Hao alone are far from the best." not enough!"

"If nothing else, I will definitely mobilize all my relatives and friends to go to the cinema to support!"

…

There was a lot of discussion from the outside world, and the sales of the novel "The Wandering Earth" immediately skyrocketed, and the name Liu Cixin once again became popular on the Internet.

At this time, Chuhe Film and Television Production Center was also having a meeting to discuss this project. The boss said it himself, which means that this project is imperative. What needs to be discussed now is how to prepare and implement it.

Shanhe personally hosted this meeting. Chuhe Film and Television boss Zhong Lifeng, housekeeper Yang Liu, production center general manager, Colorful Light Production Team, distribution company head, original author Liu Cixin and others were present one by one. Among this group of Chuhe Film and Television people Among the internal bosses, director Guo Fan seems a bit thin and reserved.

To be honest, when Mr. Yu of the production center notified Guo Fan of the meeting, he was stunned for more than ten minutes, and then all kinds of mixed emotions, such as excitement, joy, hesitation, fear, etc., appeared in his mind one after another.

Shanhe plans to let me direct "The Wandering Earth"? But I'm just a newbie!

Although "My Deskmate" was a great success last year, with an investment of 25 million and a domestic box office of 500 million, it was just a low-cost youth campus movie and there is no comparison with "The Wandering Earth". This is a three-part series with an investment of 600 million!

Guo Fan asked himself two questions throughout the day after receiving the news:

Can I accept the trust from Shanhe? How can I fulfill the trust given by Shanhe?

After a whole night of psychological struggle, he strengthened his belief as to why he resigned from his stable job at Travel TV and re-entered the directing department of Beijing Film Academy in order to realize his long-standing dream and make a film that belongs to the Chinese people. science fiction movie.

After watching "Gravity", his belief became clearer. He wanted to follow Shanhe's footsteps and make Chinese science fiction movies bigger and stronger.

I just didn’t expect that the opportunity would come so quickly and so fiercely, and it would be named by my idol in person. No matter what, I had no reason to hesitate or escape!

Shanhe's words rang in the ears of Guo Fan, who was in a nervous mood, and he came back to his senses and focused on the meeting.

"The boss of China Film Group gave us a task to make a big sci-fi production in which Chinese people save the world. This request is exactly what I want. "The Wandering Earth" has been lingering in my mind. It's time to make it, everyone. If you have any opinions, please tell me!”

"Our production center will start preparatory work immediately. This time we don't need to ask Disney for help. We are confident that we will form the most capable team to complete this shooting plan!"

"The distribution department will cooperate with the production center to carry out preliminary global publicity and momentum building work to ensure that the promotion and distribution will not be wasted!"

"The colorful light prism can start modeling and composition at any time. What is needed now is the overall planning, script, and renderings!"

Zhong Lifeng said:

"As for China Film, I will communicate with Mr. La about cooperation matters!"

Yang Liu then expressed his position,

“I immediately started building a team of producers!”

Shanhe nodded lightly and said to Liu Cixin:

"Da Liu, this time I have to trouble you, the original author, to participate in the screenplay!"

"Haha... I couldn't ask for it more. "The Three-Body Problem" has been completed. I have a lot of time!"

After everyone finished talking, Shanhe turned his attention to director Guo Fan. In his previous life, he was able to film "The Wandering Earth" under extremely difficult conditions and swept the whole of China. In this life, Chuhe Film and Television is the foundation of With so much wealth, there is no reason for him to do any worse than he did in his previous life!

"Guo Fan, you are the director of the project, please say a few words!"

Guo Fan stood up, looked at the mountains and rivers and responded in a deep voice:

"I am a fan of the boss and Liu. It has always been my dream to make "The Wandering Earth" into a movie. I am very lucky that God has given me this opportunity. Thank you to the boss for your trust. If nothing else, I will do my best for this project. I will work hard and be fully prepared and will not let down the trust of my boss and everyone!”

"You don't have to put too much pressure on me. I've seen your work, and we are a bit similar. The first feature film was a youth campus film, and the second film turned to science fiction. I will be the first one in "The Wandering Earth" Producer of the department, just go ahead and do it, I will bear the pressure for you!”

"thank you boss!"

Guo Fan was extremely excited at this time, and the thought of "a scholar will die for his confidant" went straight to his head, irritating his eyes and turned red.

"I won't let you down!"

"Well, I believe you. From now on, you have to get into the state!"

"I will!"

…

On February 10, two days before the premiere of "Butterfly Love", Chuhe Film and Television announced the project approval of "The Wandering Earth":

"The Wandering Earth" was initially planned as a trilogy, and preliminary preparations have already begun. The first part is expected to invest 500 to 600 million yuan. It will be invested by China Film Group and Chuhe Film and Television, produced by Shanhe, and directed by Guo Fan!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. After "Gravity" and "Bring Her Eyes", Chuhe Film and Television finally launched the first large-scale Chinese science fiction series, which shocked the entire Chinese film and television industry. , "The Wandering Earth" immediately became the most anticipated movie in China.

As one of the producers, Yang Liu's phone was immediately buzzed with calls. His participation in investment and starring roles became the hottest topics in the entire Chinese film and television industry.

The popularity of director Guo Fan has skyrocketed. He has attracted even more attention than last year when the box office of "My Deskmate" exceeded 500 million. Everyone is very curious about this new generation of directors. What skills does this person have that can make Shan He take this person? What kind of giant project is handed over to him?

All kinds of specious things are spread on the Internet, which is even more confusing.

"Guo Fan is the one who looks most like Shanhe!"

"Shanhe's designated successor, China welcomes another genius?"

"Guo Fan's background is a mystery. Did he take over "The Wandering Earth" because of his talent or something else?"

"My idol is Shanhe! Is Guo Fan on the road to idol success?"

...

Almost all entertainment reporters are now focused on Guo Fan, but Guo Fan doesn't care about these things at this time. He abandoned everything and joined the script writing team of "The Wandering Earth".

On February 12, ten days before the Spring Festival of the Year of the Sheep, Ning Hao's new film "Heart Flower Road" was released.

Ning Hao and the production center were somewhat helpless about this release date. A director with the top appeal in China and a group of actors with the top appeal in China, who got together to shoot a comedy movie, were forced to be released ahead of schedule by an animated film!

Who can I go to for justice? The competition within Chuhe Films is too abnormal. There is no way. Not to mention the distribution company and Ning Hao's team, even Shanhe shook his head and sighed at Ning Hao after watching the two movies.

"It's better to release "Lost in Thailand" in advance. "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is expected to produce abnormal box office data. Your "Lost in Thailand" is really no match. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable!"

"Fuck, this time Lao Tian and Jiaozi plotted against us!"

"They have already spread the word, you just don't believe in evil, who can you blame!"

"Who would have thought that the colorful light prism would be able to use a big trick this time! According to common sense, it is not strange to have two different types of movies on the Spring Festival schedule together! "

"There are more than two movies. "Journey to the West: The Great Conquest in Heaven" and "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons: Snow Mountain Demon Spirit" were also released on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

"I am not exaggerating. We really did not regard these two movies as rivals!"

"You are awesome, Ning Hao!"

...

Although Ning Hao and the production center were frustrated and helpless for a while within the Chuhe Group, in China, the appeal of Ning Hao, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng is really incomparable to ordinary movies. As soon as "Heart Flower Road" was released, it immediately took over the class of "Charlotte's Troubles" and started a box office explosion.

In the first three days of the first week, the box office exceeded 400 million yuan. As of the ten days of the release on New Year's Eve, the box office exceeded 1 billion yuan. The two comedy movies dominated the first half of the Lunar New Year schedule.

Just when the domestic media was praising Ning Hao and "Happy Twist" to the sky, the Spring Festival of the Year of the Sheep came, and "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World" also came. This animated film broke everyone's eyes with an unprecedented box office rhythm!

Shanhe and his wife did not attend the premiere, but they watched the cartoon in the cinema with their son Xiao Xiong'er and the whole family.

Even Xiao Xiong'er, the devil of the world, was attracted by the movie. After watching the movie, he kept asking questions and pestered his grandfather to buy all the peripheral products in the cinema.

It can be seen that the screenwriter of this animated film is unique and the production level is excellent.

From the creative adaptation of Chinese mythology in the movie alone, this animated film has the foundation for explosion. Coupled with its vivid characters and meticulous animation production, it is not accidental that this movie can rake in 5 billion yuan in box office in the last world.

In Shanhe's view, the quality of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World" is better than the last world. The reason is naturally that the technology and production experience of the Seven-Colored Light Prism are richer than the last world, and the publicity and distribution are more effective than the last world. Shanhe is full of expectations for the box office data of "Nezha".

Four years ahead of schedule, what results will "Nezha" give? Shanhe is waiting to see!
