Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

As soon as Shan He made the decision, he immediately informed Yang Liu that the heroine in "The Instant Universe" is the key to the show, and the sooner the role is finalized, the better. This will give the actors more time to prepare for the role.

As the boss of Chuhe Film and Television Agency, Yang Liu was naturally not as innocent as Shanhe thought.

The absolute heroine in Shanhe movies, this is an opportunity to reach the top in one step!

There are no actresses who have acted in Shanhe movies who are not popular. From Yang Mi at the beginning, to Zeng Li, Zhou Xun, and then to Gong Li in "Gravity", they have all stepped onto a new level with Shanhe movies. world.

Yan Bingyan's acting skills are well-known in the industry. Once she gets the favor of Shanhe, her future will surely soar.

Yangliu is thinking of poaching!

"Dear" is Zhang Yi's first film after the Olympics, and he is also the screenwriter of Shanhe, so it naturally has great appeal in China.

Even though it is a film with realistic themes and a strong literary flavor, it still grossed more than 35 million yuan at the box office on the first day.

The film's reputation has been outstanding, and film critics have praised it, saying that Zhang Yimou has ushered in the return of a master of film art.

The film also had a huge response from the public, and the topic of anti-trafficking became the focus of social discussion the next day.

The Douban score is 8.6, and the audience has received rave reviews. The wonderful performances of several actors in the film have been recognized by the public.

Actors such as Yan Bingyan and Zhang Songwen began to enter the public eye.

However, this did not bring much change to Yan Bingyan's life. She has never done commercials, variety shows, or participated in hype. She just wants to be a real actor.

According to this rhythm, even if Zhang Yi is a movie heroine in this life, I guess she will not be very popular in the future!

But things changed here in Shanhe. Two days after "Dear" was released, Yan Bingyan received an invitation to meet Yang Liu.

Yang Liu is now a big shot in the Chinese film industry, the default second-in-command of Chuhe Film and Television, and the recognized eldest sister in the Chinese agency circle.

Just by being Shanhe's agent, he can move around in the Chinese film and television industry!

Yan Bingyan was a little confused when she put down the phone. How could Yang Liu ask for an interview and want to poach me?

It shouldn't be. Even if Chuhe Film and Television wanted to poach him, there would be no need for a boss-level figure like Yang Liu to take action. If he could support himself to death, he would be a second-tier actor. This was after "Dear" was released!

But it would be good to join Chuhe Film and Television. She heard Zhang Songwen say that the Chuhe Film and Television Agency Department was relatively simple and did not have any messy requirements for actors. They basically respected the actors' own choices.

Shanhe himself is not too concerned about the agency. Chuhe Agency also has a different business strategy from other agencies such as Huayi. It has never poached people and the threshold for signing contracts is not low. This has led to the lack of contracts for actors signed by Chuhe Film and Television. There is not much internal competition, so there will naturally be more opportunities!

Young actors are proud to sign with Chuhe Film and Television.

That afternoon, Yan Bingyan met Yang Liu at Shichahai Cafe as scheduled.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Yang Liu directly stated his purpose.

"Bingyan, I've always been quick-talking, let alone lying. I have one purpose in looking for you. Chuhe Film and Television wants to sign you!"

"ah!"

Although Yan Bingyan was mentally prepared, she was still stunned by Yang Liu's direct response.

"Chuhe Film and Television has a good reputation at home and abroad. Of course I am honored to join, but I am a little confused. Chuhe Film and Television has never poached actors, and it was Mr. Yang who came forward in person. I am not such a big name, am I?"

"Don't call me Mr. Yang, just call me Yang Liu!"

Yang Liu stirred the coffee in the cup and replied with a smile,

"Shanhe plans to ask you to audition. You are his first choice for the heroine of his next movie!"

"What?"

Yan Bingyan was so shocked that she threw the coffee spoon out of her hand. Shanhe asked me to be the heroine of the movie?

Is this possible? This is about the same chance of winning the jackpot when buying a lottery ticket!

Look at Gong Li in "Gravity". She is now treated as a popular actress in the world. In addition to the Oscar, she won the Best Actress with a soft hand!

The aura and status that the movie has brought to her are second to none in China and unrivaled, and they are also radiant around the world!

Can this kind of opportunity that I never dreamed of come to me?

You heard that right!

Yang Liu looked at Yan Bingyan's dumbfounded look and raised the corners of her mouth, guessing that this would be the case.

No actor can resist the movie heroines of Shanhe. For them, this is the road to heaven.

Yang Liu waited quietly for Yan Bingyan, who was stunned by the news, to come to her senses, and sighed in her heart for what she had done to her boss.

"Life of Yi" sold out for six days in its second week, and it has only been on the market for ten days, and its sales have already reached close to 10 million copies.

This has brought unprecedented amazement to the global literary community. No literary book has ever swept the world with such a stormy gesture.

Literature and art take time to prove. This is what history tells us.

But Shanhe, a pervert, broke this common convention!

"The Life of Yi" has almost zero negative reviews around the world, and almost everyone is captured by this novel.

Yang Liu herself also finished reading her boss's new book immediately. As a non-literature lover, she was deeply attracted by the novel and was immersed in it all day long.

This book is so magical. After reading it for the first time, I had no idea of ​​putting it down.

The fantasy sea drifting journey in the novel makes people yearn for it, but the reversal at the end directly makes people shocked, and then their whole body becomes cold. The fantasy and magnificent sea drifting turns into a bloody and cruel mutual killing.

This gives an incredible sense of contrast!

You can't help but go back to the beginning of the novel to find the true proof of drifting.

The more you search carefully, you will find that there are too many possibilities in the book. Young Yi's survival and drifting will attract you like a mystery!

Exactly what the middle-aged Yi said at the end of the book, everyone's choices determine his world!

Yang Liu even argued endlessly with book fans on Shanhe Weibo for his own opinions.

This shows how magical this book is!

The boss is really outrageous!

The movie "Gravity" just swept the world, and the novel "The Life of Yi" immediately set off a huge wave. Book fans around the world were fascinated by this book, even politicians from various countries. Escape!

In Yang Liu's view, the influence of "Young Yi" is even greater than that of "Gravity".

Film was only born over a hundred years ago, while literature has been passed down in human society for thousands of years. There is a huge difference in status and influence between the two!

Two or three minutes later, Yan Bingyan managed to calm down and asked in an unbelieving tone:

"Mr. Yang, this is the audition for the heroine of Shanhe's new film. Did I hear that right?"

Yang Liu smiled and nodded,

"The absolute heroine, the scene in the movie, is still a joint project with Disney and will still be released globally!"

Hearing Yang Liu's affirmative answer, Yan Bingyan started to get confused again. What kind of bad luck have I had recently? I just finished starring in a movie written by Shan He, and now I have the opportunity to star in a new movie directed by Shan He!

Shanhe’s new film!

His scripts are recognized as the best in the world, and each of his movies can benefit actors for life. Now this opportunity is just placed in front of me?

Yan Bingyan was still in disbelief and asked with trembling lips:

"Mr. Yang, isn't Shanhe's new film an adaptation of "The Life of Yi?" I've also read the novel. Isn't the only protagonist in the book "Yi Yi?"

"Bingyan, if you call me Mr. Yang again, I will have nothing to say!"

Yang Liu joked with a smile,

"How could "The Life of Yi" start filming so soon? 3D movies require a long preparation and production cycle. Shanhe's new film is an absurd comedy with a very creative script. You will know the details in two days."

Yan Bingyan picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee into her mouth, then asked tentatively,

"Because of this role, I must sign Chu He, right?"

"That's not true!"

Yang Liu put down the coffee spoon in his hand, shook his head and replied,

"Shanhe doesn't care if you are a contracted actor of Chuhe. He never asks about the agency. This matter is my idea. Bingyan, you know the strength of Chuhe Film and Television. There is no mess in our agency. Yours I understand the situation very well. I don’t like to be in the spotlight and just want to be a simple actor, but good actors also need opportunities to prove themselves. Chuhe Film and Television is your best choice!"

Yan Bingyan was not pretentious and nodded in agreement:

"I know Chuhe Film and Television is very good. I don't want this. What do you need me to do?"

"Haha...you don't have to do anything!"

After Yang Liu succeeded, with a smile on his face,

"I will take care of this matter. Just wait for Shanhe's call. I should let you try on makeup in two days. Since Shanhe asked me to inform you, he basically didn't run away!"

After agreeing to Yang Liu's invitation, Yan Bingyan also let go of her emotions, holding her head and even uttering obscenities,

"Oh my god! I'm going to go crazy!"

"hehe…"

…

Just as Yang Liu thought, after "The Life of Yi" was on the shelves for two weeks and eleven days, global sales exceeded the milestone figure of 10 million copies.

Book fans around the world cannot put down this new book by Shanhe. On the Internet, various topics in "The Life of Yi" have always been an absolute hot spot on various literature-related websites.

"The Life of Yi" has been mentioned repeatedly on various social networks around the world, and the shocking twist at the end of the book has become a focus of public discussion.

Speculations about drifting in the novel became the center of discussion.

Different from the focus of the general public, writers and book reviewers have focused on the ideas and connotations of the book.

"Religious Thoughts in "The Life of Yi"."

"The various states of divinity, humanity and beastliness in the development of human society!"

"The changes brought to the world by the integration of Eastern and Western cultures."

…

Analysis and comments abound online.

This astonishing sales volume and popularity once again triggered a series of reports from the global media.

This time it is no longer limited to literary and entertainment media. All mainstream media are also vying to comment on the front pages.

"... Hua Xia Qiu has refreshed people's understanding of literature. "The Life of Yi" tells writers that literature and philosophy can also sell well, and can also be used to impress ordinary people in an addictive way. One person and one tiger can win. "Drifting" tells an almost complete story of the present and future of human history!" - The New York Times

"..."The Life of Yi" is not only loved and obsessed by the public, but also has become a must-read work in political circles in various countries. The reason lies in Hua Xiaqiu's magical imagination and calm restraint. Everyone is reading it You can find your own side in it. Life is a drift. We communicate with various beasts in our hearts every day. Your choices determine your life and success or failure!" - "The Times"

"... "The Life of Yi" is more like an allegorical epic, with fantastic and magnificent text content, and a profound and grand meaning behind it. How should human beings face nature, how should they face themselves, and how should they face the future? , Huaxia Qiu has issued a question to all mankind!" - "Le Figaro"

"...Civilization has two aspects, namely external things and internal spirit. The appearance of civilization is easy to obtain, but the spirit of civilization is hard to find! And "The Life of Yi" is about the spirit of civilization, which is fully described in the book It has influenced the thinking and philosophy of life of East Asians, and these are the foundation for the rapid rise of East Asian countries!" - "Asahi Shimbun"

…

This is the case with literature, once it is recognized by the public, all kinds of additional meanings will be analyzed and expanded.

Shanhe looked at the various comments and interpretations on the Internet and was a little confused. Are these things in "The Life of Yi"?

Before I started writing, I had referenced movies in my memory, which described various religions and thoughts. I did add my personal thinking and cognition when writing, but it was definitely not as mysterious as you said!

It's a bit much to boast about!

I, the author, have been given a popular science education by you!

Yu Zhengchong laughed loudly at his confused disciple,

"Xiaohe, this is the charm of literary works. If you look at "Dream of Red Mansions", there are several Red Studies Research Societies in China, and every word in it has been studied and pondered. I don't think Cao Xueqin could have considered such a thing when writing. comprehensive!"

Shanhe touched his forehead and responded with a look of shame:

"Master, how can I compare with Cao Xueqin? "A Dream of Red Mansions" implies a period of Chinese history. Studying it means studying people from all walks of life and their living conditions in history, while "The Life of Young Yi" is just a drifting story! "

Yu Zhengchong shook his head and replied with affection and pride:

"Xiaohe, you are a bit presumptuous! "The Life of Yi" has already laid the foundation for becoming a classic. Maybe these media and book reviewers are touting and echoing, but the public's evaluation is real. Your original persistence That’s right, real literature should gain a wider audience!”

Yu Zhengchong's words made Shanhe feel confused. "The Life of Yi" could receive such a big response, which was beyond his expectation.

There is nothing to say about the best-selling novel. After the release of "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Gravity", my own appeal can indeed support the best-selling of a novel.

It's just that the novel has been so highly praised by the literary and critical circles, which is indeed a bit dreamy and unreal.

The original book "Life of Pi" seemed to be quite successful, but it only won the Booker Prize that year. Without the addition of Ang Lee's film adaptation, the novel's global popularity would not have been as widespread.

Have you already perfected your film adaptation skills?

Shanhe's version of "Life of Pi" has largely surpassed Jan Martel's "LIFE OF PI"?

Can I really become a literary giant by relying on the cheating of movies in my head?

"Lao Yu, Xiaohe, we have to build a fence to prevent the chickens and ducks from ruining the harvest. Although the land is not big, we can grow all kinds of vegetables. In two months we will be able to eat all kinds of vegetables from our own home. Got it!"

Grandpa Qiu Dahai's shouts brought Shanhe back to his senses.

Hi! What do I want these for?

It’s just mediocrity, the low self-esteem of the previous life is still haunting me, I have experienced suffering, and this may be part of success.

There is no need to judge yourself, these are not important. What is important is to look forward and move forward at your own pace!

"Okay, my master and I will be here soon! Grandpa, we need to plant the green beans. I like the green bean rice dumplings made by Grandma the best!"

After hearing this, Grandma, who was cleaning up at the side, stopped what she was doing and looked at her grandson dotingly.

"My dear grandson wants to eat. Grandma will go buy groceries soon and cook them for you tonight!"

Shanhe put his arm around Grandma's shoulders and said with a smile:

"Grandma, you've almost turned me into a fat pig these past two months!"

"Nonsense! You are just too thin! Young people have to eat more. Your grandpa can eat three large bowls of rice at your age!"

"Ha ha…"

…

"The Life of Yi" is naturally as popular in China as it is abroad.

Although pirated copies of the book appeared on the market in the second week, sales still exceeded one million.

Eleven days, more than 2.1 million!

This kind of data really makes other literary writers sigh.

In an online interview on Weibo, Yu Hua said this:

"Teacher Yu Hua, have you read Shanhe's new book?"

"I've read it! Can you not read it? The novel has been widely circulated in the circle before it was released. They all say that Shanhe has written this amazing work!"

"Do you think so too?"

"Of course, the magnitude of Shanhe's breakthrough is amazing. I read it several times! It's so well written, and the sales are so unimaginable!"

"Haha... the global sales of "Alive" must have exceeded 10 million copies!"

"It took me eighteen years, and it took eleven days for the mountains and rivers. Behind our older generation of Chinese writers is a giant back wave hundreds of meters high!"

…

Mo Yan was even more bitter during the interview,

"My "Frog" last year only sold 100,000 copies in the first month. At that time, I was already very happy. The sales volume of Shanhe was so contrary to literary conventions! He created a new genre, and his style will give people It has had a huge impact on the global literary world and should influence generations of writers in the future!”

Tiening, chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, also lamented to reporters repeatedly,

"The impact and changes brought by "The Life of Yi" to the Chinese literary world will last for a long time. Shanhe's maturity has come too quickly. Although the current sales are due to his additional influence, he has always insisted on The style that appeals to both refined and popular people is irreplaceable. In the future, Chinese literary writers are likely to be influenced by him, and literature can also be sold well. Mountains and rivers represent the future of Chinese literature in the Internet era!"

…

Accompanied by the four old men, Shanhe quickly overcame the novel's phenomenal popularity and caused mediocrity.

Putting aside the hustle and bustle of the literary world, he set his sights on movies.

"Dear" grossed 130 million at the box office in its first four days, breaking the box office record for domestic literary films in just four days.

The box office is not the biggest achievement of the movie. The most important thing is that "Dear" has sparked a huge anti-trafficking topic in China.

Countless families of victims of abducted children have used their own experiences to complain about the evil deeds of human traffickers on the Internet. Within a few days, a storm of anti-trafficking and family searching has formed across the country.

Law enforcement agencies in China also reported to the public the results of the special anti-trafficking campaign launched in 2009, and issued various decisions to severely crack down on the trafficking of women and children. For a time, human traffickers became synonymous with heinous crimes.

The film immediately attracted public attention, and the box office remained high in the second week.

Chuhe Film and Television immediately announced that it would donate all the profits from the movie to fight trafficking and find relatives, which won praise and recognition from the public.

At the same time, Shanhe met the actress he admired most in his life in the company.

Yan Bingyan followed Yang Liu into Shanhe's office with anxiety.

"Hello, Teacher Yan! Nice to meet you!"

Yan Bingyan looked at Shanhe who greeted her at the door and was a little dazed. Why was Shanhe so polite to her?

She came back to her senses only after Yang Liu reminded her.

"I can't bear to have you call me teacher. I'm glad to get your invitation and recognition!"

"Haha... You are worthy of it. You are a senior. Your acting skills, character and style are a role model for the younger generations. I admire you very much!"

Shanhe shook hands with Yan Bingyan, then walked into the office together and sat on the reception sofa. Shanhe didn't bother to be polite anymore, and directly handed the outline of the script to Yan Bingyan,

"Teacher Yan, my new script is called "The Instant Universe". It is about the life of Chinese immigrants in Country M. Take a look!"

Yan Bingyan took over the script with excitement,

"Just call me Bingyan, then I won't be polite!"

"Please!"

Yan Bingyan is famously stubborn in the industry and has her own requirements for scripts and performances.

She had been feeling uneasy before meeting Shanhe. Yang Liu said that Shanhe's new film was a comedy, but she had never taken a comedy role. What if the script or the role did not suit her aesthetics?

Movies that reject mountains and rivers? Then you will really be regarded as an idiot!

After more than half an hour, Yan Bingyan no longer had any worries, and Shanhe's script was as exciting as ever.

A housewife who has been deformed by the pressure of life embarks on a fantastic journey through the universe to solve the problem of a life that is facing collapse!

Shanhe’s creative imagination is amazing!

"Shanhe, when will we start auditioning? This is a very challenging role. I like it so much!"

Shanhe looked at Yan Bingyan and smiled,

"Actually, there was no audition. After I watched "Dear", I decided to ask you to play Xiulian. The script has not been completed yet, but informing you earlier will give you more time to prepare!"

"Really?"

Yan Bingyan was so excited that her voice was trembling. If she hadn't been in Shanhe's office, she would have jumped up right now!

This role is truly mine!

God really treats me well, it must be my mother’s spirit in heaven that protects me!

"Bingyan, drink some water first!"

Yang Liu looked at the excited Yan Bingyan, pointed to the water glass in front of her, and then asked Shanhe,

"Boss, when will the script be released? Give it some time, so I can have a solid foundation here!"

"I don't know, probably next month! It depends on the speed of Bruckheimer and the writing team. The movie has to meet the laughter tastes of both Eastern and Western audiences. I can't do it alone!"
