Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

With the establishment of the "Three-Body" project, Shanhe once again fell into the familiar busyness of polishing the script, assembling the crew, drawing concept renderings, formulating shooting plans, setting up scenes, etc. The intense preparation work made him not notice the time. passage.

The year 2017 has passed like this, and the Xu Dog once again drove away the Unitary Rooster and became the protagonist of the New Year!

The joy and celebration in the courtyard did not stay with Shan He for too long. The uncertainty and unknown brought him not only pressure and anxiety, but also challenges and expectations. The long-lost creative passion allowed Shan He to find another completely different kind of satisfaction.

Shanhe's full commitment has given the entire team a boost. The preparations for "The Three-Body Problem" are proceeding very quickly with Chuhe Film and Television's full cooperation and sufficient funds.

Various progress in the preparations for "Three-Body" are constantly reported by the media and appear in front of the public.

"Shanhe spent huge sums of money to build the Hong'an base, and "The Three-Body Problem" shows its majestic momentum!"

"Ye Wenjie has decided to play the role, and Zhou Xun once again took on the role of the heroine in Shanhe's film after ten years. She bluntly said that "The Three-Body Problem" is her biggest acting challenge!"

"Liu Ye and Hu Ge joined the Earth Protector camp in "Three-Body" and played the roles of Da Shi and Wang Miao respectively. They are full of confidence in their roles..."

"Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming, and Gong Li announced that they have joined the cast of "The Three-Body Problem". Shanhe's influence has created the most luxurious Chinese cast!"

"Star-Lord Heath Ledger has officially announced that he will play the role of Evans, the leader of the Adventists. "The Three-Body Problem" has already aroused great expectations around the world even before filming has started!"

…

In mid-June 2018, after more than half a year of preparations, the first season of "The Three-Body Problem" finally started filming at Chuhe Film and Television City in Beijing. Shanhe did not hold a launch press conference, but the news of the filming of "The Three-Body Problem" still spread all over the world. Internet media.

In the nearly half a year since then, the crew of "Three-Body" has traveled to almost every continent in the world. Although the main line of the story is mostly in China, the mountains and rivers have given it a broader global perspective.

From Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to the Panama Canal in South America, from Iceland in Northern Europe to the Louvre in Paris, from New York to Hawaii in North America, most of the shots of the "Three-Body" crew were shot in real locations.

The entire crew underestimated the importance Shanhe attached to the "Three-Body" series. During the filming process, his requirements were even higher than in previous film shootings, and he often tried multiple times in one scene.

His temper is also much more irritable than in the past. Except for a few older actors, everyone else has been baptized by Shanhe's poisonous tongue one by one, especially Liu Ye and Hu Ge. One is Shanhe's junior, and the other is almost Shanhe's queen. Actors, they have no scruples at all when mountains and rivers spray them,

"Hu Ge, what I want is a mature and wise scientist, not a submissive little boy. You have been acting for so many years, and you still want to be a popular celebrity. I am ashamed of you!"

"You have a death countdown in your eyeballs instead of a lump of eye excrement. Why are you blinking all the time? You are trying to be cool. I really regret choosing you to play Wang Miao. If you can't do it anymore, I will replace him!"

…

"Liu Ye, Da Shi is a veteran, but he is also an excellent policeman. He is a little rude, but not reckless. He is one of the smartest people in the whole "Three Body". Look at what kind of shit you are playing. , why, after becoming a big international movie star, you can’t find anything, tell you, without sincerity and devotion, you want to fool the audience, you will soon be nothing!”

…

Shanhe's abnormal attitude and anxiety made everyone difficult to understand. Several leading actors often complained about Shanhe's poisonous tongue in private.

"Lao Hu, there's something wrong with the great master recently. His temper is worse than before. Even in the Moroccan desert, I haven't seen him so anxious!"

"Who knows what's going on with him? I've never seen him so impatient before. It's just a TV series. Even if the investment is bigger, it shouldn't be so important to him. I'm so dumbfounded by him! "

"Haha... This is the charm of Shan He. Although he has achieved so many achievements, he is always so sincere towards his works. I admire him for this! When we were filming "The Wind", both Zeng Li and I were attracted by him. I cried. As a result, "The Wind" made us successful. Gu Xiaomeng became the character I am most proud of. Zeng Li also completed her career transformation with Li Ningyu. I have great expectations for the role of Ye Wenjie!"

"Xiao Zhou is right. If you think about it carefully, how significant this TV series is to the Chinese film and television industry. This is the first Chinese TV series to be broadcast globally. This is a way for those who come after to overcome obstacles and open up a new path. I can’t help but Shanhe doesn’t pay attention to him. He has a strong sense of responsibility and his stress and anxiety are understandable. We must fully support him!”

"Mr. Li is still far-sighted. In this way, we are pioneering the Chinese film and television industry. It is such a sense of accomplishment!"

"I'll go talk to Shanhe later and let him relax. Isn't he going to be filming a TV series?"

Hu Ge turned around and looked at Liu Ye,

"Liu Ye, how about we come together!"

"I don't dare to go and scold him. You are the child of his, so it is only appropriate for you to do this!"

"Look at your bear-like appearance, what's there to be afraid of?"

"He is a huge figure in the entertainment industry. If you ask anyone in China, who would dare to die when he loses his temper?"

"Liu Ye, you are so smart, you are talking bad about me behind my back again!"

"Hey, Yoyo, my great ears, you have really amazing ears. I'm complimenting you!"

"Ha ha…"

…

No one in the crew understands that although "The Three-Body Problem" is a TV series, it is a brand new beginning for Shanhe at this time. The reason for the efficiency of filming in the past is that he has the memory in his mind as a foundation. Shanhe can quickly give presets and judgments, but now he has lost the advantage of being a reborn person, and everything requires more thinking and comparison.

The pressure on Shanhe's heart is greater than all his previous filming experiences. He cannot fail, at least not now, because he is taking on too much at this time.

The more you get, the more you pay naturally. This is an eternal truth!

Shanhe has no other way to deal with it, only to devote himself wholeheartedly and strive to do his best. He understands one thing, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the creator must first treat the filming sincerely, and the audience will treat the work sincerely!

As time went on, Gong Li, Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming and others finished filming and left the crew one after another, but Shanhe's high-intensity work continued until early December, and the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" was completed by the Panama Canal.

Not only did the director Shanhe feel relieved, but the entire crew also breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few months, Shanhe had really squeezed the entire crew hard, and everyone was a little exhausted!

"Thank you for your hard work in the past few months. I am a person who never does things in vain. So, we will make up for the wrap-up party when we return to China, and everyone will go to the Caribbean Paradise Island for a seven-day vacation first. I will pay for all the expenses personally!"

"Oh, boss, you are generous!"

"Haha... That is the world's top vacation island. Thanks to the boss, we can also enjoy the treatment of the rich!"

"Boss, can you give me a discount?"

"Get out of here, boss, ignore him! Let him buy his own ticket back to China!"

"Haha..."

...

After returning to China, Shanhe did not rest for a few days, and he was involved in post-production again. At Shanhe's request, the post-production of the entire series was the highest standard in China.

The first season of "The Three-Body Problem" can be said to be the most expensive TV series in the world so far. This is a real 200 million US dollars, without a trace of water. You must know that the purchasing power in China is much greater than that in Hollywood. The production cost of 200 million US dollars in China is comparable to 300 million US dollars in Hollywood, or even more.

Time flies, and 2018 seems to have just arrived, and it will pass in the blink of an eye. The Year of the Dog has not barked a few times, and the Year of the Pig is coming again.

In the past year, Shanhe, a quick shooter, rarely produced any works, but the Chinese film industry is not lacking in excitement.

"Happy Twist" has completely exploded, and no one in the field of domestic comedy films can match it. The box office of "Shameful Iron Fist" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has exceeded 2 billion yuan in succession. Shen Teng and Ma Li have completely established their status as super first-line comedy stars.

Not only "Happy Twist", a new generation of domestic directors have also come to the fore. Rao Xiaozhi's "Nobody", Su Lun's "Time Travel", Huang Bo's "A Good Show", Li Fangfang's "No Questions" and other films have achieved both box office success and reputation, and Chinese-language films have seen a rare period of talent surge.

Of course, Chuhe Film and Television's dominance remains unshakable. Both films that broke the 3 billion yuan box office were produced by Chuhe Film and Television.

After "Detective Chinatown 1" broke the 1 billion box office, "Detective Chinatown 2" continued to work hard, breaking the 3.5 billion box office in China in two months of release. Bai Yuxia has become the leader of the new generation of Chinese commercial directors, and the Chinatown combination of Wang Baoqiang and Tang Xiaoyu has once again become popular across the country.

Especially Tang Xiaoyu, the continuous success of "Fortress of the Magic City" and the "Detective Chinatown" series has brought his commercial value to the peak. To the surprise of the public, Tang Xiaoyu has begun to prepare for his first directorial work. The teachers and leaders of the Film Academy have high expectations for him and even regard him as "the second Shanhe"!

The remaining one is the box office dark horse "Dying to Survive". This Chinese version of "Dallas Buyers Club" has a great reputation and has made a comeback all the way. It finally ended with an amazing box office of 3.2 billion yuan. The influence in China even exceeded Shanhe's "Dallas Buyers Club". Wen Muye suddenly appeared and became famous all over the world!

This year, the total box office of Chinese films exceeded 60 billion yuan, reaching an unprecedented peak. It is regrettable that Shanhe, the leader of Chinese-language films, is missing.

In the 2019 Spring Festival, "The Wandering Earth" finally came after three years of preparation, shooting and production.

Without any surprise, "The Wandering Earth: Earth Crisis" swept the Spring Festival period, and the box office exceeded 2 billion yuan in the seven-day holiday. Everyone understands that after Shanhe and Ning Hao, another 4 billion director is about to be born. Guo Fan has become the leader of the next Chinese science fiction blockbuster. It should be understood that this is only the first part of the "The Wandering Earth" series.

The Chinese film market has thus entered its peak of glory. Global media are discussing a question: What will be the potential of the Chinese film market in the end? Can it surpass North America in one go and become the world's largest film consumption market?

Shanhe looked at the media reports on the Internet and offline, lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Soon, a sudden accident will sweep in, and the global film industry will enter a frozen period, and China is no exception!

In June 2019, after nearly two years of production cycle, the first season of "The Three-Body Problem" was finally completed. After watching the entire film with the senior management of Chuhe Film and Television, Shanhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally took the first step on the new journey. Fortunately, this step should be above the passing line.

Other people present didn't think so. They all applauded the first season of "The Three-Body Problem". Is this still a Chinese TV series? It feels no worse than a big-budget science fiction movie!

The plot is full of tension. From the first episode, the confusing plot is very attractive. Then, the grand background, complex human nature, and real scenes come one by one, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and fantasy. There is no doubt that this is a wonderful adaptation!

After receiving the news, TV network media giants such as Netflix, BBC, and CCTV couldn't wait to send representatives to try out this long-awaited series in the internal screening room of Chuhe Film and Television.

Three days later, Netflix, BBC, and CCTV-8 simultaneously announced the broadcast time of the first season of "The Three-Body Problem" to the world. The first season of "The Three-Body Problem" will be broadcast simultaneously in China, North America, and Europe on July 7.

This news surprised the long-awaited audience, who left messages on the Internet to discuss it.

"Shanhe's new work is finally here. I miss it so much after not seeing it for two years!"

"CCTV Channel 8 actually premiered "The Three-Body Problem". It's a pleasant surprise. Shanhe is so proud. I'm waiting for July 7th to come!"

"Huaxia Qiu never disappoints people, and this time will be no exception. I plan to upgrade my Netflix viewing package. Huaxia Qiu's science fiction works must be watched in 4K ultra-high definition to be enjoyable!"

"I have read the original work of "The Three-Body Problem". To be honest, the adaptation is very difficult. Huaxia Qiu is the most suitable candidate. He can shoot "Youth Yi" so perfectly, and "The Three-Body Problem" should be no problem! ”

…

As soon as the news came out, before the series was even aired, it brought huge benefits to Netflix, BBC and CCTV-8!

Netflix's global subscribers surged in June, and this news even caused Netflix's stock price to rise by 3%.

The BBC also ushered in a peak in orders across Europe, and CCTV-8's prime-time advertising in July triggered a bidding war among many domestic companies. There were too many people and too little meat, so price was not a problem. What we wanted was the advertising space during the "Three-Body" time slot!
