Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

After experiencing an explosion in the first week, the sales curve of "Cliff" stabilized in the second week, and it continued to occupy the top list of literary books with a daily amount of 20,000 to 30,000.

However, there are more and more discussions and comments about "Cliff" from the outside world, especially on the Internet, where young people's desire to express is quite strong.

The three main characters Zhou Yi, Gu Qiuyan, and Gao Bin have been discussed the most.

"The characters in "The Cliff" are so realistic. The protagonist Zhou Yi is full of charm. His calm and ruthless appearance is in great contrast with his fiery and serious heart. I think this should be a true representation of an underground worker! "

"Looking at the comments, there is a lot of controversy about Gu Qiuyan! Shanhe writes her as very ordinary, very similar to many people around us. I like this character very much. Not everyone can be as firm and fearless as Zhou Yi. Gu Qiuyan represents ordinary Chinese people who have all kinds of problems, but she is still willing to dedicate everything to her motherland, which is very touching!"

"Gao Bin is the most special villain in the novels I have read. Shanhe did not deliberately vilify him. He also has his own life and position. However, this way of writing unexpectedly makes him feel more terrifying and cruel! He is not in Instead of speculating, they were completely conquered by the invaders. Such people are much scarier than speculators!"

"I have finished reading "The Cliff". Shanhe has brought us another good book. The characters are so well written that it is worth reading again and again. Now I am looking forward to the film and television adaptation of "The Cliff" more and more. The three main characters Who will play the role? Actors with poor acting skills may not be able to hold on, Shanhe wrote them too plumply!"

…

"I agree with everyone above. We must find a suitable actor to play the role in "Cliff". To be honest, I even think that even Zhou Yi's secret agent Chun San needs certain acting skills to play well. Don't ruin Shanhe. novel!"

…

As the producer of the TV series "Cliff", Zhong Lifeng is very concerned about the discussions on the Internet.

She keenly discovered the expectations and demands of netizens for the adaptation of "Cliff", and took advantage of the trend to launch topics such as "Choose actors for "Cliff" and "Who is in your mind" on the Internet.

For a time, the film and television adaptation of "Cliff" was discussed a lot on the Internet.

Everyone put forward their own ideal candidates, and several powerful actors were on the list. Netizens were very enthusiastic about participating!

After recuperating in the courtyard for two days, Shanhe couldn't stay any longer. He had no time to pay attention to the turmoil on the Internet. There were too many things to worry about next.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" will premiere in Country M next week, the second season of "If National Treasure Could Talk" has also entered the final preparation period, and the film and television adaptation of "Cliff" is imminent, plus Ning Hao's new film plan.

Shanhe couldn't take any time off due to all kinds of things. Fortunately, Yangliu's team was there to help, so Shanhe didn't feel overwhelmed.

"Boss, Li Yang and the "Blind Shaft" filming team returned to the capital yesterday." Yang Liu reported to Shanhehui who was having breakfast.

"Oh? So fast!" Shanhe took a sip of soy milk and asked casually, "How long will it take to complete the post-production of "Blind Well"? What do Mr. Zhong and Li Yang think about the release of "Blind Well"?"

"The actual shooting of "The Blind Shaft" took nearly two months, which was much slower than expected. It was not fast. It's just that because of the epidemic in Beijing, we subconsciously ignored this for more than a month!"

Yang Liu replied, "The post-production of "The Blind Shaft" should be very fast. I have seen some clips. They were almost all shot in real scenes and require very few post-production changes. Director Li Yang wants the film to participate in the Venice Film Festival. He is very interested in "The Blind Shaft". "Well" is very confident and wants to participate in the main competition! Mr. Zhong is very supportive."

"It's a good thing to have confidence! Let me know when the film is finished, and I'll go and learn from it. Maybe there will be a surprise this time. By the way, is that Wang Baoqiang still living in the company dormitory?" Shanhe asked after swallowing the bun in his mouth. road.

"Wang Baoqiang?" Yang Liu suddenly couldn't remember who this person was, and frowned at Shanhe.

"That's the child Li Yang brought!"

"Oh, you're talking about him! I'm not sure. He should still be there. Boss, why are you asking about him so nicely?" Yang Liu asked inexplicably.

Shan He raised his head and glanced at Yang Liu, "I'm very impressed by him and very optimistic about him. You first need to find him a few more roles in the crew."

"Ah!" Yang Liu was confused by Shanhe's words, "Boss, are we talking about the same person? You won't let him become the first contracted actor of our agency, right?"

"Don't discuss the signing in advance. You can take him with you for a few months. If possible, I will introduce him to a suitable role. Let's talk about the signing then!" Shanhe replied.

"I really want to sign him!" Yang Liu said with a look of disbelief, "Boss, you have such a unique vision!"

Shan He glared at Yang Liu, "You know what the hell, Wang Baoqiang is very discerning, he will have a lot of opportunities in the future!"

"His image can only be played in supporting roles!" Yang Liu muttered in a low voice, "If you want to introduce him, let's introduce a few decent ones!"

Shanhe looked at the reluctant Yang Liu with a smile and said: "You arrange for him to play a small role first, and you still don't believe what the boss says! Uh, you know Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei, they seem to be looking for a small role in the crew now, so you can take the opportunity to Pay attention too!”

"I understand. I know Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei. They are seniors in your vocational class. If Zhou Yiwei is still successful, I will arrange it! Boss, they are all actors. As for the girls, are there any you like? Isn’t Beiying known as the Beauty Concentration Camp?” Yang Liu responded.

"I'm optimistic about Liu Yifei, can you sign it?" Shanhe walked out angrily.

Looking at Shan He's back walking away, Yang Liu whispered to himself: "If I can sign Liu Yifei, I will need you to introduce him!"

Two days later, as soon as Li Yang came out of the editing room of Chuhe Film and Television, he received a call from Ning Hao, asking him to come to Shanhe's courtyard to discuss the release of the film.

When Li Yang followed Yang Liu into the courtyard, Ning Hao, his wife and a thin young man were sitting on the grape trellis and chatting under the mountains and rivers.

Ning Hao looked at Li Yang who was coming over and waved, "Brother Li, let me introduce you. This is Yue Xiaojun, the screenwriter of our crew. We have written a new idea. Let's show it to Shanhe first. I just found it." Let’s talk about the release of the movie!”

"You are so fast. Have you finished the post-production of "Green Grass"? You will have new ideas now!" Li Yang asked Ning Hao after greeting Yue Xiaojun.

"This idea came about before filming "Green Grass". We just discussed the outline of the script." Ning Hao replied.

Shanhe poured a cup of tea for Li Yang, "Director Li, did the filming of "Blind Shaft" go smoothly? I heard that you are very confident this time!"

"Thank you!" Li Yang took the tea and said to Shanhe, "Shanhe, I am really glad to have reached a cooperation with Chuhe Film and Television this time. Otherwise, let alone making a good film, I would be in big trouble!"

"What's wrong? Was there any accident in the middle?" Shanhe looked at Li Yang and asked.

Li Yang took a sip of tea and said: "Shooting in mines is much more dangerous than imagined. We have encountered several rockfalls and small landslides in large mines. If I had found a small coal mine to shoot by myself, the consequences would be unimaginable! I’m still a little scared now.”

"What Brother Li said is that we are afraid of accidents when filming. I also experienced several accidents while filming "Green Grass". Who would have thought that driving on the grassland could easily overturn! Fortunately, everyone is fine." Ning Hao also had lingering fears. responded.

"It seems that we need to do more careful location scouting in the future!" Shanhe nodded and said, "I heard from Yang Liu that you are planning to let "The Blind Shaft" go to the Venice Film Festival to try out?"

"With this idea in mind, "The Blind Shaft" was shot very realistically. I am quite satisfied with it. The actors selected are all suitable. I just came out of the editing room. The effect of the finished film is better than I imagined. I won the award. We don’t expect anything extra, but as long as we are shortlisted for the main competition, selling the film will not be a problem!” Li Yang replied.

After hearing this, Shan He asked Ning Hao: "Where is your "Green Grass"? Do you have any plans to go to the Venice Film Festival?"

"The theme and style of "Green Grass" are very ordinary. What Venice requires is a breakthrough in theme and technique. I have no confidence in the film. It will definitely not be selected for the main competition unit, but you can try for the horizon unit." Ning Hao He shook his head and replied.

Shanhe smiled and said to the two of them: "I dare not say anything else. There are still certain channels for overseas distribution of Chuhe Film and Television. In this way, after your finished film is released, as long as the quality passes the standard, I will find someone to recommend it to you. Venice Films There are recommenders in China, and both Jiang Wen and Zhang Yi have this channel!"

"This is great! Having recommenders saves a lot of trouble. You can go directly to the second round of film selection, which greatly increases your hopes!" Li Yang said excitedly, "Shanhe, don't worry, I can guarantee the quality!"

"That's good, Mr. Zhong will make arrangements for the exhibition!"

After discussing the release plans of the two films, Shanhe asked about Ning Hao's new film plans, "Old Ning, when will you finish polishing the script for "The Big Jade"?"

Ning Hao thought for a while, "I can't say for sure. Aina and Xiaojun are both here! They are screenwriters. It depends on whether their writing goes well or not. At least everyone must be satisfied before filming can begin. ah!"

Xing Aina and Yue Xiaojun looked at each other, and Xing Aina replied: "The synopsis of the plot has just come out. This is the first time for us to come into contact with this kind of multi-narrative and multi-perspective script. It will probably take a while to polish it. We all feel that making this kind of movie, The script is the top priority and it is estimated to take two to three months.”

"It takes so long!" Shanhe pondered for a while, "Sister Na, Xiaojun, you write the first draft first, and I will join your writing team at that time to see if I can help you. Lao Ning, I will come next semester It’s my junior year, and I want to follow the whole process this time and be your assistant to the director, is that okay?”

"Of course, that's great! It's a big help that you can join the crew. You can contribute a lot just as a screenwriter. I've read the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and it's so well written! Shanhe, with you joining, My confidence has more than doubled. Yang Liu said a few days ago that you are a victorious general who has never been defeated. You were born with red clouds. I can count on you this time!" Ning Hao replied excitedly. road.

"Don't listen to Yang Liu's nonsense. She is just superstitious gossip. Then we have agreed that there will be no special treatment at that time. I am going to steal from you!" Shanhe said with a smile.

"Haha... It's an honor for me to bring you into the industry. Don't worry, with such a talented person like you around, I will squeeze you hard!"

"I am looking forward!"

After the time entered July, the projects around Shanhe seemed to have been wound up, and the progress suddenly sped up.

After nearly a year of preparation, the second season of "If National Treasure Could Talk" quickly entered the filming and production stage.

The other five people in the dormitory each separated and traveled across the country with their own groups. Shanhe had full confidence in them. After a year of preparation and experience in the first season, the five-minute documentary in each episode was their best. Opportunities for practice.

The copywriting planning and shooting plan were all made in advance through everyone's collective efforts. The general theme remains unchanged, and the style is dominated by their own creativity.

The documentary "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" co-operated by Chuhe Film and Television, CCTV and the Palace Museum has also completed filming.

CCTV and the Palace Museum divided the entire documentary into ten episodes based on the restoration process, with each episode lasting 25 minutes. It is very different from the film in Shanhe's memory, but the theme and style are consistent.

It still takes craftsmanship and inheritance as its core, reproducing the humanistic value and protection process of cultural relics. Shanhe praised the director of CCTV after watching it.

Zhong Lifeng was also very quick with her hands and feet. After settling the distribution matters for the two films, she started the preparations for the filming of "Cliff" with all her strength.

The script of the TV series "Cliff" was quickly handed over to Shanhe.

It took Shanhe a day to read the entire script, which is divided into forty episodes. The plot is highly consistent with Shanhe's original novel.

Just to facilitate live shooting, some of the character settings were changed, but the main characters were not changed. The scene was weakened to render the atmosphere of heavy snow. The whole story still unfolded in depression, but it became more popular and interesting. Quite a few.

Shanhe is quite satisfied with the TV script of "Cliff". It is impossible for a TV series to exaggerate the atmosphere like a movie. First of all, the audience's acceptance must be considered.

A movie lasts up to two hours, and a TV series lasts for dozens of days. There is a huge difference between the two.

After the script was approved by Shanhe, Chuhe Film and Television completed the TV series project in just two days.

Stills of the main characters of "Cliff" quickly appeared on the Internet.

Zhou Yi, played by Chen Daoming, is mature and cold, Gu Qiuyan, played by Jiang Wenli, is full of femininity with short hair. The most controversial thing is the stills of Gao Bin, played by Li Xuejian, who is gloomy but fierce!

Zhong Lifeng cleverly took advantage of the heated discussion among netizens about the "Cliff" novel.

As expected, as soon as the makeup photos of the characters in "Cliff" appeared online, they sparked heated discussions, especially Gao Bin, played by Li Xuejian.

Who is Li Xuejian! He has played the honest and sincere Song Dacheng in "Desire", he has played Jiao Yulu who is dedicated to the people in "Jiao Yulu", and he was also the actor of Song Jiang in the recent "Water Margin".

A perfect example of a positive character, now he plays a big traitor who was conquered by the invaders. Gao Bin is not only suspicious and cunning, but also full of magnificence. The contrast is too great!

For a time, the film and television adaptation of "The Cliff" was involved in controversy on the Internet. Readers and book fans who agreed and opposed became quarrelsome, and a group of melon-eaters moved small benches to watch it with great interest!

Zhong Lifeng's strategy was successful, and the commotion on the Internet soon spread to reality. The film and television adaptation of "The Cliff" attracted media attention even before filming started.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Chuhe Film and Television quickly held a press conference for the launch of "Cliff".

Shanhe was also dragged over by Zhong Lifeng. Early in the morning on July 9, Yang Liu drove Shanhe towards the press conference.

Yang Liu glanced at the mountains and rivers beside him and said: "The early promotion of the TV series "Cliff" this time is definitely a classic success story. Mr. Zhong took advantage of it to the extreme. "Cliff" was hyped by the media even before filming started. With the help of you and the Cliff novel, the success of this project is already a certainty!”

"Yeah! Zhong Lifeng is indeed a talent in project operation. The producer has been so successful in not doing it twice, I have to accept it!" Shanhe nodded in agreement.

"Boss, you seem to hate participating in this kind of publicity and hype! Why were you persuaded by Mr. Zhong this time?"

"You are just making random assumptions!" Shanhe turned around and rolled his eyes at Yang Liu, "I have no objection to normal publicity and hype. How can movies and TV series have high ratings and box office without publicity!"

"Really? I remember you rejected Mr. Zhong a few days ago. Why did you suddenly agree again?"

"Uh~ Zhong Lifeng asked Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian to call me. Can I agree? They are both seniors in the film and television industry. I can't refuse!" Shan He said helplessly.

Yang Liu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I really admire Mr. Zhong for daring to think and do. If not, I wouldn't dare to use this method to deal with you!"

"I'm not that stingy! I heard that you stuffed Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei into the crew of "Cliff"?" Shanhe asked casually.

""Cliff" is our own TV series. If the conditions are right, of course we have to focus on our own people first. Besides, with so many characters, I regretted wasting a lot of resources! Boss, I think Liu Yifei's classmate Jiang Yiyan is pretty good. What do you think? How about it?"

"not so good!"

"...Boss, I feel that your aesthetic standards are a little different from others!"

"Superficial, you can't sign someone based on appearance alone!"

"What are you looking for if you don't look at the appearance? It doesn't matter how good an actress is at acting if she doesn't look good!"

"Uh~ Okay! You're right, you can figure it out yourself, I don't care about these messy things in your agency department!"

The two drove into the press conference while chatting.

As soon as Shanhe entered the backstage, he saw Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian.

The two of them were sitting on the sofa chatting. At this time, the two of them were at the peak of their careers. One had played Emperor Kangxi and the other had played Song Jiang in Water Margin. Their national popularity was extremely high. They were facing two authentic seniors in the film and television industry. , Shanhe does not dare to neglect.

"Teacher Chen, Teacher Li, hello, I am Qiu Shanhe. I am very happy to meet you two teachers!"

"Hey! Shanhe, you're here. Come and sit here. Your name is so famous. Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Jiang Wen have all praised you here more than once. Heroes come from young!" Chen Daoming waved to Shanhe and responded. .

"Thank you, seniors, for your compliments!" Shanhe sat down on the chair opposite the two of them.

"Shanhe, you were born in 1984, right? You are only three years older than my son, and you have already achieved so much. The Taoist name is not an exaggeration at all. The young genius is worthy of the name!" Li Xuejian said to Shanhe with a smile.

"I don't dare take it!" Shanhe smiled and waved his hand, "It's just good fortune and luck! This time the two seniors can watch the TV series "Cliff", which makes me, the original author, very honored!"

After the three exchanged a few pleasantries, they talked about understanding the characters in "The Cliff".

Both actors are old-fashioned and have always believed that the drama is bigger than the sky. These days, they have been trying to figure out the hearts of the characters.

As soon as I met the original writer, the questions came one after another.

Many aspects are based on their own understanding of the characters and their ideas, which the author Shanhe has not considered so deeply.

Shanhe couldn't help but marvel at the professional ethics of the two!

"Shan He, your novel is too real. It would be wasted if it were not made into a TV series or movie! After reading the novel, my first thought was to play Gao Bin. This character is too challenging. Unfortunately, I am in "Black Hole" The image of the villain in the film was too profound, and I couldn't fix my own image. As soon as I told Lao Li, he agreed!" Chen Daoming said with a sigh.

"Haha..." Li Xuejian answered with a smile, "As soon as Dao Ming called me, I went to the street and bought a copy of "Cliff". The character of Gao Bin is indeed very challenging. An actor with ambition will never I would refuse this kind of role, sometimes you only get this opportunity once in a lifetime, I’m pretty lucky!”

"You are very lucky. Gao Bin acted well. He is definitely a classic figure in the history of Chinese film and television, no less than when you played Jiao Yulu and Song Dacheng! Villains sometimes leave a deeper impression on the audience! What is the greatest achievement of an actor? , that is, the character you play can become a classic!" Chen Daoming affirmed.

"The two teachers are right. The same is true for a writer. The greatest achievement is to create classic characters!" Shanhe agreed.

"Shanhe, when will you start directing? Are you graduating soon? If you have good roles, don't forget us. We won't choose, and supporting roles are acceptable!" Li Xuejian said with a smile.

"There are still two years left! From now on, I have to rely on the two teachers to take care of me!" Shanhe replied with a smile.

"Haha... I can't take care of you. I heard that you have even gone to Hollywood. The Chinese film and television industry is waiting for you, a dragon, to come and turn the world upside down!"

"What Dao Ming said is right, you are highly anticipated. When we chatted together, we were all very optimistic about your future as a director. Chinese movies still depend on young people like you!"

"Thank you to the teachers for your consideration. I can only do my best!"

The start of the press conference interrupted the three people's chat.

Shanhe was placed on the left hand side of director Guan Hu. Looking at the many eager reporters in the audience, Shanhe glanced at Zhong Lifang with a wry smile. You can use my tiger skin to make a banner!

Unsurprisingly, Shanhe received the most questions!

"Shanhe, are you satisfied with the cast selection?"

"Satisfied! I think it's the best choice!"

"Shanhe, does Teacher Li Xuejian fit your image of Gao Bin?"

"I believe in Mr. Li's professional skills. He will bring you a classic villain image. Please wait and see!"

"Shanhe, do you agree with Director Guan Hu's answer? TV dramas cannot be filmed with depth and must be popular?"

"I basically agree that the first priority of a TV series is to make everyone like it. Only after satisfying the audience can we talk about other things!"

"Shanhe, do you have any ideas for your next novel? What will it be?"

"No comment! Please ask questions related to the TV series!"

…

The press conference for the launch of "Cliff" didn't end until noon.

Shanhe wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was not an easy job to be bombarded by reporters in the summer.

As soon as I walked backstage, I saw Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei talking to Yang Liu.

"Song Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are the crew doing recently?"

The past few months of being a bit player made the two of them a little nervous when facing Shanhe. It was Zhang Songwen who spoke first, "Shanhe, thank you very much this time. You still want to take care of us for such a big crew of "Cliff", and we don't know it" What can you say!"

"Why are you so polite? It's fate that we met each other. It seems that you two have not been having a good time recently?" Shanhe asked with a smile.

Zhou Yiwei said with a wry smile: "I have been at home for more than a month. I have sent out so many resumes, but no director has approached me. I have never even played a small supporting role. In the past few months, I have been working as an extra. , Manager Yang won’t call me, I can’t hold it anymore!”

"I'm about the same. My conditions are not as good as those of One Dimension!" Zhang Songwen also agreed.

"Come on! Hold on, Yang Liu will try his best to take care of you in the future, hone your acting skills first!" Shanhe encouraged the two of them.

"Thanks, we'll keep at it!"

Shanhe smiled at the two of them, then turned to look at Wang Baoqiang, who looked honest and honest, "Baoqiang, I heard that you performed very well in "The Blind Shaft". Director Li Yang praised you several times in front of me!"

Wang Baoqiang said with a naive grin: "I still don't know what I am acting. I just do whatever the director tells me to do. Is this the case in all movies? It's too easy!"

Shanhe laughed, "It's not easy. You will understand in the future. Recently, you should listen to Yang Liu's arrangements! Study more and I will introduce you to a good character in two months!"

"I understand! Thank you, Shanhe. I brought you millet from my hometown. The millet in our hometown is very delicious. I don't dare to ask you where you live!" Wang Baoqiang said a little embarrassed.

"Really? Let Yang Liu take you to my house in a few days. I really like millet porridge!" Shanhe responded with a smile, "You even went back home. How are you at home?"

"It's good. I gave all the two thousand yuan to my mother, and everyone in the village said I was successful!" Wang Baoqiang said with a grin.

At this time, Shanhe realized why Wang Baoqiang was so popular with the audience in his later generations. He really met the requirements of Chinese people for those around him. He was really kind and worthy of trust!

Shanhe smiled and patted Wang Baoqiang's arm, "Come on!"
