Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The departure of Doudou made the entire Qiu family feel sad. The ones who felt the deepest feelings were the elderly people, and the ones who cried the most were Qiu Chuxi and Xiao Xiong'er, their two aunts and nephews.

Doudou has been Qiu Chuxi's closest playmate since she was a child. Her feelings for Doudou are even deeper than the mountains and rivers. Facing the first loss in her life, her sadness is extremely turbulent, rarely like that of a little girl. , hugging her mother and crying.

Little Bear was still too young to understand the meaning of death, but he vaguely realized that Doudou would no longer accompany him to laugh, play and wander around. He cried for Doudou in Hathaway's arms. It won't work for anyone.

Faced with Doudou's departure, Shanhe did not feel heart-rending sadness, but the long pain made him less interested in everything. He seemed to have lost the motivation to work and the interest in talking and laughing with friends. He did what he did every day. The most important thing is to accompany the elderly and children at home.

Time will erase everything. In two days, Xiao Xiong'er forgot his former partner; three days later, Qiu Chuxi left home and returned to Shanghai, continuing to work hard to realize value; a week later, Hathaway also flew to Hollywood, Finished filming "Wonder Woman."

Everyone gradually recovered from Doudou's departure and continued their lives, but the mountains and rivers remained unchanged. Doudou's passing seemed to have removed the tension from his life, and he lost his passion for work. , I no longer have the interest to go out, I just want to stay at home and quietly accompany my family.

Shanhe's abnormality has made the family very worried. Since he was thirteen years old, this child has been keeping himself busy, as if he is in a state of dissatisfaction all the time. Although the family often feel distressed, they still feel sad. Be proud of it.

They wanted Shanhe to stop and rest, but not in this way or in this state.

Several old people took turns to persuade their grandson, and Shanhe always responded with a smile.

"I'm fine, I just want to take a rest!"

"Can we not know if something is wrong with you?"

"My dear grandson, you can't be sad anymore. Grandma obviously doesn't want you to be like this!"

"Xiaohe, I know you miss the past, but everyone has to accept loss. We will all leave you one by one in the future. We are very worried about your state!"

"Teacher, what are you talking about? I don't like to hear it!"

"This is an objective law, and it has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, Xiaohe, you have to adapt to this!"

Shan He looked at the elders and nodded silently.

"I see!"

Yu Zhengchong looked at his disciple who lowered his head and said nothing, gently touched his head, sighed and said:

"If you really don't know how to excrete, just write something for Doudou. The best way to commemorate the passing is to let it last forever!"

…

A few days later, a cartoon appeared on Shanhe's Weibo. It showed a cartoon version of a Labrador standing in the painting and running happily into the wind. There was a line of words written next to it:

Our world is in tatters and you are always mending it. ——"The wind comes from your direction"

Just as everyone was curious and talking about Shanhe's inexplicable operation, Shanhe's Weibo started serializing the comic "The Wind Comes from Your Direction", which is about Doudou's life.

Shanhe returned to his original writing method. Like his first book "From City to Field", he used diaries and comics to commemorate his companions and describe the life of Labrador Doudou. It was not a novel or essay, but In each comic, there are small poems in Doudou's tone.

The first page is the scene when Shanhe first saw Doudou. A cute puppy was lying in a cardboard box and looking ahead cutely.

"Waiting for you has been so long!

That day, you thought you chose me,

In fact, I remembered your smell first,

You have raised me for fourteen years,

I will accompany you forever! "

In the following time, Shanhe's Weibo has been constantly updating this cartoon belonging to Doudou.

A little puppy looked up while holding a shoe, panting with its tongue hanging out, but its expression was lively, and its innocent eyes were full of joy and trust.

The journey is too long

"I like running in your direction,

But the journey is too long,

I'm so tired that I have no choice but to

Lie down at your feet. "

…

A young Labrador retriever was wagging its tail, shaking its head, looking ahead, its eyes full of anticipation, eager to try.

The tail is the swing of longing

"I like to wag my tail,

The wind follows behind the tail,

There is you behind the wind.

When I wag my tail,

Missing is the shaking world,

And you are in it! "

…

The half-grown Doudou was squatting in the room, with a string of plum blossom-like dog paw prints behind him. He lowered his head as if accepting criticism from his owner, but the eyes he glanced upward were full of mischief and happiness.

follower

"You always say I'm a follower,

But I am obviously a dog,

The footprints I left on the floor,

Just what I said to you,

Letter to you! "

…

The cartoons and poems are cute, fresh and full of sincerity, touching the emotions of countless netizens and healing many people's hearts.

News of the departure of Shanhe's beloved dog Doudou also spread. Doudou was the prototype of "A Dog's Purpose". All Shanhe fans know that Shanhe has a Labrador dog. The comics, each sincere poem, deeply feel the sadness and reluctance of mountains and rivers, especially the dog lovers in it, who were moved to tears by "The Wind, Comes from Your Direction".

He continued to write because he recalled what he and Doudou had experienced. Everything is for Doudou to exist in the world and not be erased by time!

But Shanhe's book fans did not agree. They felt that such a touching comic work was published in the form of the Internet. The viewing experience was too bad, and it lost Shanhe's strong character. It was simply an insult to his talent. They all expressed their opinions. Shanhe left a message on his Weibo, comforting Shanhe and asking Shanhe to publish this book.

At this time, Shanhe was not in the mood to think about this. He put all his emotions into the memory of Doudou.

The calls from Scholar Publishing House and Qu Ling came one after another. Shanhe didn’t call Scholar Publishing House, but Qu Ling’s words made him nod.

"Xiaohe, I understand your thoughts, but the best way to commemorate Doudou is to turn this work into a book. You can take the comic book in the future and tell Little Xiong'er and Little Huihui that they were once accompanied by such a puppy. I have lived with your family and given you joy and comfort. If you don’t want to be involved in profit, you can donate the proceeds to set up a Doudou Foundation to help stray dogs, which will be more meaningful!”

Shanhe was silent for a while, then responded:

"Okay, Aunt Qu, this matter will be done as you say, but I hope this matter can be implemented!"

"Don't worry, I will arrange this with your mother and sister!"

…

Shanhe put aside everything else and ignored Bruckheimer's constant urging. He spent more than half a month using more than a hundred cartoons and more than a hundred short poems to describe the ten years he and Doudou spent together. several years.

"The Wind, Comes from Your Direction" is not only about Doudou, but also about Shanhe himself. It is the growth process of a boy to adulthood. Career, love, marriage, family, etc. are all told in Doudou's tone. , this is an autobiography belonging to him and Doudou,

"I've already arrived

It can be said that the age of a lifetime,

Those footprints of running

Line after line,

We have written many poems together...

I didn't leave,

because,

the wind in my life

Always from your direction! "

Shanhe ended this comic that belonged to him and Doudou with tears.

In just over half a month, the comic "Wind, Comes from Your Direction" has become popular all over the world. The experiences and emotions of Shanhe and Doudou are reflected in the comics and popular short poems. It has touched the hearts of countless book fans.

Not only in China, but also in Europe, America, Neon, Bangkok, and Southeast Asia, the online serialization of Shanhe has become the hottest topic in literary circles everywhere. Emotion is the life of literature. Even cartoons and popular and straightforward poems have become sincere. Full of emotion, it can resonate with readers, and it can also become a classic handed down from generation to generation.

…

Shanhe didn't care about the outside world's evaluation. "Wind, Comes from Your Direction" released his emotions. After a month of licking, he returned to his daily life. He still had to bear many responsibilities. The first one to bear the brunt was "Green Skin". Post-production of "Book".

If he didn't leave for Hollywood, Bruckheimer would probably fly to the capital and kidnap him.

In mid-August, with family members finally relieved, Shanhe boarded the Little Kitty and flew to Los Angeles.

The post-editing of "Green Book" has begun. At this time, Shanhe regretted taking the film. Compared with the just-completed "The Wind, Comes From Your Direction", "Green Book" is like a job without emotion. Experience mechanical work.

He was completely unable to understand the complex racial conflicts between blacks and whites in Country M. For the first time, he no longer had his own subjective insistence in post-editing. Everything was processed based on technology and memory. He was a little uninterested in "" The follow-up production of "Green Book" lost its full-hearted passion.

Of course, these do not hinder the continuation of post-production work. Hollywood has a complete set of production processes and has enough professional talents to make up for Shanhe's shortcomings. To be honest, what Bruckheimer and Disney need is Shanhe's name. As long as Shanhe agreed that they could completely jump over Shanhe and get everything done.

Shanhe experienced the most relaxing post-production work since his debut. In early September, the first cut of "Green Book" was completed. In mid-September, the final cut was completed. The soundtrack and color grading were mostly completed. Just when Shanhe was about to hand over the follow-up work to Bruckheimer, Scholar Publishing House handed the sample book of "The Wind, From Your Direction" to Shanhe.

Holding this thick comic book, watching the cartoon version of Doudou on the cover appear vividly in front of him, a faint pain and a full of comfort intertwined in Shanhe's heart. He turned the pages of the book. The work of Scholar Publishing House was very meticulous. The layout of the comics and texts was very beautiful, which was very consistent with the content of the book. Shanhe was very satisfied, but the price was a bit expensive, almost twice that of ordinary books. Scholar Publishing House explained that the printing and production costs of the album were very high, and they did not add extra charges.

So be it, Doudou, you are not gone, you will live forever in the world!

At the end of September, "The Wind, From Your Direction" was released worldwide.

The high price did not stop the book lovers from buying. Shanhe's online serialization was both a harm and an extremely powerful promotion for the release of the physical book. Although some book lovers finished reading this comic poetry collection online, there are still many people who want to buy a physical book to read again or keep it at home.

In addition, many parents regard this work as the best children's book, which contains everything children like, cute cartoon puppies, straightforward and easy-to-understand language, and sincere and pure emotions.

On the first day that Shanhe returned to Beijing, the global first-week sales of "The Wind, From Your Direction" made headlines in major media around the world.

"Hua Xiaqiu's new work "The Wind, From Your Direction" easily broke one million copies in North America in the first week, and another "The Little Prince" was born!"

"It turns out that online serialization is not a shackle for physical books. Hua Xiaqiu once again conquered the European book market with a touching comic!"

"In the book market, Shanhe is a god-like existence. The domestic sales of "The Wind, From Your Direction" in the first week are close to one million!"

"The prince becomes the king. "The Wind, From Your Direction" ends the weekly sales of "One Piece". King of Glory. Comics are not only fantasy, but also can make people moved and think!"

…

The global sales of "The Wind, From Your Direction" in the first week are close to five million copies. Although it did not break the sales record of "Youth Yi", the reputation and influence brought by the book are no worse than "Youth Yi".

In terms of content, "The Wind, Coming from Your Direction" is not a bestseller. Its story is the worst among Shanhe's works. There are no characters in the book. The whole book is just a Labrador's self-narration.

But emotionally, this is Shanhe's most abundant work. The simple pictures and straightforward poetry tell the bond between people and dogs for more than ten years. It not only writes about the life of a dog, but also reflects the author's past experiences and life feelings through the dog's poems.
