Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Shanhe's new assistant Kang Zhixuan also followed Shanhe on the plane to Shanghai.

She raised her head and looked at Shanhe in the front row, as well as the two elders of Shanhe. They were very kind and enthusiastic to her. These days, Qu Ling often took her to attend meetings with Scholar Press and Disney, and Xie Meiyu was even better at pulling the strings. He takes her shopping and gives her some small gifts.

For them, the position of Shanhe's assistant is not an easy one. Yang Liu used to do this job. Kang Zhixuan is the company's most important talent reserve and a direct descendant of Shanhe.

Kang Zhixuan also understands this. The salary and prospects of this new job are unmatched by those at Scholar Publishing House. In country M, the situation of Chinese people will always be much worse than that of white people. She can work and grow up with a legendary figure. , this is a great opportunity and luck!

She has always been looking forward to her future with expectation and excitement, but when she really has to leave the land where she grew up, she still feels a little confused and melancholy.

At this moment, she recalled the scene when she discussed returning to China with her parents. Their reaction was even more excited than hers, and her father's eyes even turned red.

She has always known the Chinese people's attachment to their hometown, but her parents' reaction still surprised her.

She has lived and been educated in Country M for as long as she can remember, but her parents have always been strict with her Chinese and never communicate in English at home. She can often feel their longing for and guilt about China in their daily life.

Now that she is returning to the land of blood, she will no longer visit relatives and play. She will represent her parents and return to the place they regard as their destination. She will definitely find her own value and future here. She can see Hua Hua from Shan He. The country’s confidence and rise!

So be it, from now on my name will never be Elizabeth Kang, my name will be Kang Zhixuan!

Shanhe is very satisfied with this talent that he poached back from country M. She is proficient in the language and culture of both China and the United States. Her work is meticulous and she has her own judgment on people and things. She is neither humble nor overbearing but also smart. ,

Shanhe was very optimistic about this chubby girl, "Zhixuan, I'm afraid it will take some time for you to adapt when you return to China this time. The working methods and interpersonal interactions in China are quite different from those in Country M. My expectations for you are not just an ordinary assistant. Believe me, domestic development will be faster than you think, Chuhe Film and Television will not let you down!"

"I know, boss!" Kang Zhixuan smiled and nodded in response, "My parents are very supportive of me returning to China for development. They have taught me a lot. I have special training from my family. I think they will follow me back to China soon." , for most first-generation Chinese immigrants, China is their hometown, and I will adapt quickly!"

"Haha... That's good, Zhixuan. In you, I see the advantages of integrating the East and the West, and you are subtle but confident!" Shanhe said with a smile, "Our focus in the first half of this year will be the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. You are very lucky to be able to personally experience the centenary event of the Chinese nation as soon as you return to China!"

"I'm looking forward to it! Boss, you know, my parents shed tears because of this. For us Chinese, the prosperity of China is always the greatest pride. In country M, most Chinese people are not living a good life!" Kang Zhixuan replied in a deep voice, "Take this protest demonstration as an example. There are almost no Chinese in the parade of country M. We have always been incompatible with the society of country M. This kind of parade is meaningless in my opinion." !”

"Haha... It seems that you are more like a Chinese, more pragmatic and rational than the people of M!"

"But this march will be of no harm to you. In this incident, the African-American candidate who benefited the most is the African-American candidate. He should win this year's election. He has a long history with you. I have researched Through his conduct and governance philosophy, I think your development in country M will be smoother in the next few years without any obstacles!" Kang Zhixuan entered work mode.

"Really?" Shanhe looked at Kang Zhixuan appreciatively and smiled slightly, "I trust your judgment!"

…

After returning to the magical city, Shanhe did not enjoy leisure at home. He was dragged by Qiu Chuxi to work as a packer for a few days, dumbfounded.

Qiu Chuxi's "Goku Doll Shop" finally opened for business. Using her own savings and Shanhe's support, she ordered the first batch of dolls and trinkets at her classmate's toy factory, mainly based on Shanhe's "Bottom Hot Girl" anime characters. and MGM’s classic animated film “Tom and Jerry.”

The shop has been open for more than a month, and the business is very booming. The whole family, except Xie Meiyu, was attracted by her. Yu Zhengchong and Xie Shinai became consultants, Qiu Jiang and Shanhe were shareholders, and Qin Nan became General manager.

She didn't arrange a position for herself, but as expected, she was at the same level as Xie Meiyu and was also the chairman!

The two girls did it quite formally. Not only did they register the company, but Yu Zhengchong also helped them rent a small warehouse not far from home, with a formal office space and a packaging studio.

I usually ask some retired old people to help with packing, and pay them on a piece-rate basis.

Xie Meiyu could do nothing about her girl's energy and random thoughts. Both girls were the treasures of the family. Once the idea came up, no one in the two families except her objected.

The two pieces of meat that fell from my stomach are not a fuel-saving lamp!

After making an agreement with Qiu Chuxi for three chapters, she was too lazy to take care of it, but there was no way for her to work for her daughter. She was very happy to see her son being dragged by her sister to help with packing all day long!

The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is really good. A famous writer and director who has just launched a demonstration of millions of people in country M is helplessly pestered by his sister. He works as a packaging worker and is always disliked by his sister. In the end, he earns more than his retirement age. The wife is still young.

The expression on my son’s face when he received his twenty-yuan salary made the whole family burst into laughter.

Both children can do anything, but they are also the happy apple of the family. With them around, the whole family is extremely happy!

Shanhe took Kang Zhixuan to work in the two sisters' small shop for two days, and the three girls became familiar with each other in a short time.

"Sister Kang, do you often use Amazon to buy things in country M? You stayed in our store for two days and gave us some suggestions!" Qiu Chuxi knew not to be ashamed to ask.

Kang Zhixuan, who grew up in country M, was not polite and answered directly: "Well! More and more young people in country M like to shop online. The advantage of online shopping is that it is convenient, but the disadvantage is that it is not intuitive enough. I think you It’s time to seize these two key points!”

"Two key points?" Kang Zhixuan's words confused Qiu Chuxi and Qin Nan, "Sister Kang, please explain clearly!"

"The advantage of online shopping is that it is convenient and fast. The way you all use mail now is too slow. Does China have an express company? You should go to an express company to cooperate. Also, your product display is too simple. It should be multi-angle and all-round." When displaying products, the more detailed the copy the better, what customers care about is professionalism and meticulousness!”

"Wow! Sister Kang, what you said is great. Sister Nannan and I are planning to build a shopping website like this in the future. What do you think?" Qiu Chuxi then asked.

"I don't know much about the situation in China, but many shopping websites have appeared one after another in country M. I think with the rapid development of network technology, online shopping will be accepted by more and more people!"

"Sister Kang, how about we work together in two years? My brother's place is not interesting. You will be bored after two years. Besides, Sister Zhong and Sister Yang Liu have both taken up the positions of Chuhe Film and Television. It would be so exciting for us to start a business together. Ah, I'll call you when the time comes!" Qiu Chuxi started poaching people in front of Shanhe.

Kang Zhixuan looked at the lively and cheerful girl in front of him speechlessly. These brothers and sisters really have something in common. They have been poaching people together!

Shanhe pointed at his sister with laughter and said: "Qiu Chuxi, you are really good at poaching people in front of me. All positions are taken. There are only two positions in Chuhe Film and Television. Zhixuan, ignore her, she is Go crazy on your own!"

"Brother, I'm serious. If Sister Kang wants to start a business with us, you can't stop her!"

"You go to college first and then talk about it! If you can't get into college, let alone my mother, you won't be able to get through here either. You need to withdraw your investment immediately!"

"Why don't you just go to college? I'll take care of it! It's not like some people who have to go to art schools!"

"You're awesome! Qiu Chuxi, let's see how long you can blow it!"

…

After staying at home for two days, Shanhe rushed to the capital at Zhang Yi's urging. The Spring Festival of 2008 was still about twenty days away.

Domestic Lunar New Year movies have entered an intense stage, with "The Call to Action", "Assembly", "Slam Dunk", "The Dragon Disarms" and "The Call of Destiny" all showing in theaters.

The films that are still waiting to be released include Stephen Chow's "Yangtze River No. 7", Chuhe Film and Television's "Sword Laughter", Zhao Benshan's "The Year of the Dragon and the Rat", the Hollywood blockbuster "National Treasure" and so on.

As soon as Shanhe returned to Beijing, Yang Liu handed Shanhe the box office data on the car back to the courtyard.

So far, the winner of the Lunar New Year festival is Feng Xiaogang. Under the influence of Shanhe, "Assembly" has greatly improved its box office performance, and it has already accumulated 230 million in less than three weeks after its release. It is estimated that the hope of exceeding 300 million is not small.

After four weeks of release, the box office of "The Legend" will exceed 200 million, which is not particularly good for a movie with a claimed investment of 40 million US dollars.

"Slam Dunk" starring Jay Chou has accumulated a box office of over 80 million yuan in the two weeks since its release. There is also a note in the table (a big bad movie, purely due to Jay Chou's appeal)!

Including the 50 million box office of "Call of Destiny", just one month into the Lunar New Year season, the domestic film market has handed over a total box office of nearly 600 million, which shows the rapid development of the domestic film market.

Shan He put down the box office report, looked at Yang Liu and asked, "Have you seen Wu Ershan's "Sword Laughter"? I, the nominal producer, was so incompetent that I didn't even go to the set!"

Yang Liu nodded, "I watched it and it was pretty good, but the plot is a bit too absurd and the characters are a bit exaggerated. I wonder how the audience will accept it? With your name, it won't be a problem for the box office to exceed 100 million. It’s hard to say going forward, but all the actors contracted by our company are in the film, including Zeng Li, Hu Ge, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Wei and so on!”

"When will it premiere?" Shanhe continued to ask.

"It will premiere at the Film Museum on February 5th! That is the day before the Chinese New Year. Our direct opponent is Stephen Chow's "Yangtze River No. 7", which is a week ahead of us! I don't know if we can continue to capture the Spring Festival champion this time. In your hand?" Yang Liu replied worriedly.

Shanhe frowned and thought for a while, Stephen Chow's "Yangtze River No. 7" seems to be a bad movie! Wu Ershan's script of "Sword Laughter" is brilliant, and he has sufficient funds. Coupled with his own appeal and the joining of Chuhe Film and Television stars, he should not be able to lose!

"There is no eternal champion, we just try our best!" Shanhe responded with a smile, "Has Ning Hao finished filming "No Man's Land"?"

"It's finished! It's still in post-production. It should be finished a year ago. I also watched the refined version. It's a great movie. Unfortunately, it didn't make it to the Berlin Film Festival selection time. I guess I'll have to try my luck at Cannes! "

"Haha... What a coincidence. "Dallas Buyers Club" will also premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Who knows, Ning Hao and I will have to fight in the same room!" Shanhe said with a laugh.

Yang Liu also laughed and joked, "Ning Hao has no hope. "Dallas Buyers Club" is world-famous. Yesterday Scholar Publishing House just announced on the Internet that the global sales of the "Dallas Buyers Club" novel exceeded 1,500 million, and will soon exceed 20 million copies. The sales of this novel in China are also very popular. Boss, your ability to make trouble has been upgraded again. You can accidentally cause an international incident!"

Shanhe rolled his eyes at Yangliu, "It's not me who is causing trouble, it's someone who is using the name of "Dallas Buyers Club" to cause trouble. I was taken advantage of, but it's not a loss. By the way, Zhixuan's life needs to be arranged. Okay, I'm very optimistic about her ability. You should first familiarize her with the company and hand over Qin Nan's work.

Qin Nan has become the general manager in Shanghai, and she doesn't like our Chuhe Film and Television. She and Qiu Chuxi, two treasures, even want to poach my assistant who just came back from abroad. I helped them at home for two days. As a bagger, I made fifty yuan! "

"Haha...Boss, I think your sister is the only one in the world who can cure you!"

…

The courtyard that had been away for half a year looked particularly elegant in the heavy snow in the capital. There were no green leaves on the bare grape trellis, but there was an extra layer of white snow, which still made the courtyard quite elegant.

Shanhe opened the thick curtain, moved his suitcase into his own room, took off his down jacket, and stretched out. It was still as comfortable as in a courtyard.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, but snowmelt days always feel particularly cold.

Shanhe arrived at the Olympic Opening Ceremony Preparation Office in the morning. Today is the time for the regular office meeting, and the heads of various departments are basically here.

As soon as Shanhe entered the room, he was teased by everyone, "Look who is back. This is the return of a hero from overseas. Everyone must applaud and welcome him!"

Laughter and applause suddenly sounded in the conference room.

"Shanhe, you are really good at stirring up troubles. You have done this several times. You can have your way at home and abroad!"

"This is what you call a trend-setter of the times. When I read the news, I can see the sense of pride. Millions of people have been inspired by your novels, which is enough to go down in history!"

"This is the power of literature. If it is well written, we have all read it. When the movie is released, we will go and support you!"

…

"Seniors, please stop teasing the younger ones!" Shanhe cupped his hands and responded with a smile, "We all know that someone is behind it. The novel is just a primer. I am writing about real people in Country M!"

At this time, Zhang Yimou came in from outside and walked to Shanhe with a smile, "You said you went to country M to get a handful, but you really got a lot. When will the movie be released? I read the novel, but I can't see it. Unexpectedly, next year’s Oscars will be very rewarding for you!”

"It will premiere in Cannes in May, and I don't know if I will be free to go to France then!"

"You are really an anomaly. You are famous all over the world in your twenties, and you have won both box office and awards. There is no one like you in the world!"

"Keep up the good work, young people will have to work hard!" Zhang Yimou smiled and patted Shan He on the shoulder, "Okay, everyone is here. We will not have a meeting in the office today. We will go to the Bird's Nest site. The main structure of the Bird's Nest has been completed. Now, the stadium has begun to pave the stands and level the field. Each of our program groups will have to train on the field from the end of the year. The entire plan will be greatly adjusted, and everyone must have a good idea!"

An hour later, everyone arrived at the Bird's Nest site. Shanhe had passed this place more than once in his previous life, but he had never been so close!

This majestic building wrapped in a giant steel structure looks extremely majestic in the winter sunshine. The smooth surface of the outer steel structure makes the light particularly dazzling. The Water Cube on the side has been completely completed. The two unique buildings give the entire The Olympic Center adds a modern sci-fi feel.

The full name of the "Bird's Nest" is the National Stadium. It is the main stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It covers an area of ​​200,000 square meters and a construction area of ​​258,000 square meters. It can accommodate 910,000 spectators, including 80,000 formal seats. There are 11,000 temporary seats.

At this time, the entire stadium was completely completed from the outside, but the surrounding square was still under intense construction, and various sounds filled the place with noise.

Shanhe and his group did not stay outside longer and walked into the gym wearing the safety helmets distributed by the staff.

There are construction workers everywhere inside the venue. They are installing seats and various equipment in the stands. The noise of various machines makes the venue noisy. The middle field has been leveled and the lawn is being laid.

Zhang Yimou led everyone around the venue, "This is not the first time we have come here. The venue was not leveled last time, but the entire structure was complete. According to our requirements, the entire inner eaves of the ring roof will be After installing the LED screen, the main torch has been produced in the Shougang workshop. In order to keep it confidential, we will install it in the steel structure mezzanine in advance and go up to it on the night of the opening ceremony. Everyone has discussed the entire plan. Today we are going to discuss the on-site equipment. Regarding the overall installation issue, according to our program list, there are a lot of auxiliary equipment, such as the use of wires and various steel wires. What do you think?"

"If nothing else, the most important thing is safety. We will have to rehearse after the new year. Making sure there are no accidents is the top priority!"

"These auxiliary equipment are not difficult. We have a professional team in our team, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

…

Shanhe recalled a flaw in the opening ceremony, "Seniors, after these auxiliary equipment are installed, will the sky above the stadium be filled with wire cables?"

"It should be! Programs such as Dream Five Rings, Earth Stage, Silk Road and Flying Sky all require wire cables. This situation is unavoidable!"

Shanhe nodded and continued: "What about the TV broadcast? The picture full of steel cables is too ugly. Can we communicate with the opening ceremony broadcast team before installing the equipment? We can design and install these in conjunction with the shooting camera positions. Equipment, avoid the live TV scene full of steel cables, which will affect the picture effect too much!"

"Shanhe has a good opinion. We really didn't expect this. Director Zhang, we should let the broadcast team join the preparation work early. This will be of great help to the work of both parties!"

"It makes sense, Director Zhang. Shanhe has reminded us that no matter how well our program is arranged, it still has to be broadcast through the broadcast team. You and Shanhe are both famous directors, and broadcasting is your strength. Our director team must have Have a certain right to speak!"

"Director Chen is right. We have the most say in the broadcast of the opening ceremony, and we know the best about the entire program. Director Zhang, we must mention this opinion to the superiors!"

…

Shanhe's words directly deflected the topic, and the live broadcast became the team's common focus.

But everyone is right. China’s broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremony did have many flaws, and the level of directing was really not that good.

Shanhe has watched several versions of the live broadcast of the opening ceremony, and Hua Guo's is the worst. When it is time to take a long shot, the broadcast is a close-up. It has always focused on local shots, and he also likes to shoot at an angle, which is not consistent at all. The viewing habits of Chinese people!

Zhang Yimou covered his forehead and thought for a while, "Shanhe's suggestion is too important. We have been sticking to the planned program and neglected to communicate with the broadcast team. The broadcast team for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is BOB, which is organized by the Beijing Olympic Games It is jointly funded by the International Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee Olympic Broadcasting Service Company. We don’t know much about their broadcasting level and habits. I will report this matter to the organizing committee as soon as possible. Lao Chen is right, we must have certain standards in broadcasting. The right to speak! There will be hundreds of cameras at the scene, and what the audience can see depends entirely on the director's switching. The director's position is so important!"

"Director Zhang, the chairman of BOB is the executive vice chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee. It won't be difficult for us to communicate with him, right?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head, "The broadcasting copyright of the Olympic Games opening ceremony belongs to the International Olympic Committee, and the broadcast team is designated by the Olympic Committee. I'm afraid it's not that easy to communicate, but we still have to mention it. Leave this matter to me. !”

…

Shanhe listened to everyone's discussion, but it was time for him to start to play his role.

He had repeatedly imagined several flaws and accidents in the opening ceremony of later generations. This time, with the aura of rebirth, the entire opening ceremony would be even more perfect!
