Chapter 227 Chapter 227: Wind-Blown Summer

After the M-country version of the script outline of "The Martian" was approved by Blokheimer, Chuhe Group, a capital city, immediately started investment preparations. Qu Ling attached great importance to this film adaptation.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" has been released for nearly a year. The profit brought by this movie to Chuhe Group is more than twice the amount of investment. Add in Shanhe's 5% screenwriter share, and one movie has earned nearly 3,500 yuan. Millions of dollars!

The investment return of "A Dog's Purpose" is even more exaggerated. An investment of less than four million US dollars has brought Chuhe Group a profit of more than 14 million US dollars in half a year!

The movie adaptation of Shan He's novel brought a huge amount of cash to the group. Xie Meiyu and Qu Ling have already begun planning to build a building of their own in the Magic City belonging to Chu He!

Shanhe's film and television adaptation rights are simply a cash cow. Everyone in the Chuhe Group has great confidence and expectations in the film adaptation of "The Martian."

Shanhe doesn't care about these external affairs. Money is just a number when it reaches a certain point. No matter how much you don't spend it, there is no point. Shanhe supports Xie Meiyu and Qu Ling's ideas. A building in Magic City is a symbol of strength. This is a good investment in every way!

After Bruckheimer got the script outline of "The Martian", he stayed in the capital even more leisurely and contentedly. Even the communication with China Film Co., Ltd. was left to Disney's branch in China. He spent all day in the capital with a translator. Wandering around.

After Shan He accompanied him to climb the Mutianyu Great Wall, he ignored him and resumed the script writing work of "The Hot Girl at the Bottom".

Bruckheimer stayed in the capital until the end of June, and only boarded a plane to leave the capital after Disney's constant urging.

Before leaving, he kept whispering in Shanhe's ears, inviting Shanhe to be a guest in Hollywood before the release of "The Martian". Zhitian promised that Shanhe would not be used to hype Shanhe, and everything would be based on his will!

Shanhe ignored it angrily and promised to go to Hollywood if he had time!

After seeing off Bruckheimer, Shanhe went to Beijing Film Academy to finish his junior year as a student, and flew back to Shanghai to prepare to spend the summer with his family.

Shanhe met his family at the airport to greet him. Just like in previous reunions, Shanhe felt the happiness and concern of his family. The only difference was his sister Qiu Chuxi.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Qiu Chuxi suddenly grew a lot taller. Although her face was still full of baby fat and her eyes were as bright and clever as before, she was really becoming a big girl!

Never again would I rush straight into Shanhe's arms and be wanton and affectionate with my brother like before!

In two years' time, I probably won't be able to hold my brother's hand like this again.

"We Xixi have grown up all of a sudden, and my brother is not used to it!"

"Brother, I'm a junior high school student now, how can I still act like a child! But don't worry, I still miss you very much. You have to play with me during the summer vacation!" Qiu Chuxi took her brother's arm and answered matter-of-factly. road.

Xie Meiyu answered from the side: "Brother You has time to accompany you crazy! You have grown up, and I think the older you get, the more people worry about you! Xiaohe, you don't even know what your sister is learning recently, it makes me very angry !”

"My brother is not as old-fashioned as you. He loves me the most and is determined to support me!" Qiu Chuxi retorted softly.

"Speak louder!" Xie Meiyu glared at her daughter and said, "Don't think that if you hide behind your brother, I can't deal with you, and return it to an old antique! Do you know that old antiques are valuable?"

"Okay, okay! We are here to pick up Xiaohe. Let's leave the airport first and get in the car to go home!" Qiu Jiang said while pushing his son's luggage trolley.

Yu Zheng looked at the mother and daughter with a smile at the old couple, and explained to Shanhe: "The mother and daughter have been fighting for more than ten days. Xixi wants to learn to dance recently, but your mother doesn't agree. The two of them have been quarreling every day lately!"

"Isn't it good to learn to dance? Mom, why don't you agree?" Shan He asked as he walked.

Xie Meiyu turned around and replied: "I would disagree if she learns normal dance. What he learns is some bullshit hip-hop dance. A group of young people who are not 46 and above are dancing around. It's not serious at first glance!"

"Oh! It's hip-hop, no wonder!" Shanhe nodded.

Qiu Chuxi on the side was anxious, dragging Shanhe to explain: "Brother, don't listen to mom's distortion of the facts. Street dancing is a sport, similar to skateboarding. What mom said is fighting dance. People are competing in dance skills. There is nothing wrong with that." Sutra!"

"A group of people dressed in shabby clothes gathered around to watch two people rolling underground. What kind of competition is that? I think it's Western poison!" Xie Meiyu objected disdainfully.

"We definitely don't understand what young people do. I don't think it's a big deal. My daughter isn't just messing around. Street dancing is also a form of performance!" Qiu Jiang interjected.

"Qiu Jiang, please don't say anything. You are a good person and you will agree to whatever she says. You are so generous!" Xie Meiyu said, glaring at her husband.

…

The family pulled Jia Chang into the car. Shan He looked at his sister beside him and asked, "Xixi, when did you cut your hair short?"

Xie Meiyu has been dissatisfied with her daughter recently, "What else could it be for, other than to facilitate skateboarding and hip-hop dancing? She doesn't look like a girl at all, she's getting more and more wild!"

"Brother, does it look good if I have short hair? My classmates all say I'm very handsome!" Qiu Chuxi asked Shanhe nonchalantly as she was used to her mother's nagging.

Shanhe nodded with a smile and replied: "She is a bit heroic. My sister is becoming more and more beautiful as she grows older!"

"Haha...Brother, I will take you to the park tomorrow. We have a skateboard base there, and your sister and I are the best among them!"

"Okay!" Shanhe fondly stroked his sister's short hair, "Xixi, how did you do in the first exam? It looks like you did well in the exam!"

Before Qiu Chuxi could answer, Yu Zhengchong in the front row rushed to reply: "Xiaohe, Xixi did well in the exam this time. She got a perfect score in math and over 80 points in Chinese. The most important thing is that your sister passed I passed the additional examination for the city’s No. 3 Girls’ Middle School, which is a nationally renowned key middle school, and Xixi got into the exam all on her own this time!”

"The third girls' middle school in the city? A girls' middle school! Is there a girls' middle school in the country?" Shanhe asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Xie Meiyu is also very proud that her daughter can be admitted to this key middle school. "The No. 3 Girls' Middle School in the city is the only key middle school for girls in Shanghai. It has been established for more than a hundred years. It is not easy to get into it. You My sister is indeed very successful this time, otherwise how could she be so confident and stubborn with me!"

Shanhe turned around and looked at his sister in surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be a little hottie at the bottom of his family!

Thinking of this, Shanhe's mind moved. This was his chance to understand today's middle school students!

"Xixi, you did a great job this time. Your brother is proud of you! As a reward, I will accompany you to hip-hop places in the past two days!"

"Yeah!" Qiu Chuxi cheered loudly, "My brother is the best. Brother, can we go tomorrow?"

"Xiaohe, you are just like your father. You only know how to pamper her, and why should the little girl learn those messy things!" Xie Meiyu objected.

"Mom, it's okay. I know a bit about hip-hop. It's not an unusual activity. Besides, I'm following you. If you're really worried, you can find a security guard to follow Xixi!"

Xie Meiyu always trusted her son. She looked at her daughter earnestly, nodded and said, "Since your brother agreed, I reluctantly take a look first. Remember, don't make friends with messy people!"

"Mom, you're so kind!" Qiu Chuxi turned around, hugged her mother and got intimate, "I'm going to call Sister Nannan later and ask her to come to our house tomorrow!"

"You can change your face so fast. Once you follow your heart, you will shake your head and tail. I think you are not much different from Doudou!" Xie Meiyu looked at her daughter lying on her body with feigned disgust.

Ha ha…

There was a burst of laughter in the car.

After a comfortable night's sleep at home, Shanhe was pulled out of bed by his sister early in the morning.

After washing up and eating breakfast, Qin Nan also arrived at the small foreign-style building. Under Qiu Chuxi's urging, the three of them got on the car that brought Qin Nan before nine o'clock.

"Brother Shanhe, this is Brother Wang, the driver arranged by my brother for us. He used to be a scout!" Qin Nan introduced Shanhe.

"Brother Wang, please excuse me!" Shanhe said hello to the driver in the front row.

The driver didn't say much and nodded in response: "This is my job!"

As soon as the three of them arrived at the park, Qiu Chuxi started to get busy. He opened the trunk of the car and took out a large bag of bits and pieces.

Shanhe took a closer look, oh! They are all trinkets, keychains, small dolls and the like.

"I said Qiu Chuxi, aren't you here to skateboard or watch street dancing? Why do I feel like you are here to do business?"

"It's not a conflict! You can earn pocket money while playing!" Qiu Chuxi replied matter-of-factly, "Brother, help me carry it!"

Shan He was dumbfounded, carrying a big bag and following behind the two girls, "Qin Nan, is your current body able to play such a strenuous exercise?"

"No problem!" Qin Nan waved and replied, "I go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and the doctor even told me to exercise more!"

"That's good!"

A few people soon arrived at an open space in the northwest corner of the park. There are two platforms here, with an upper and lower platform connected by a ladder in the middle. There is also a basketball court not far away. It is indeed a good place for skateboarding and roller skating.

Probably because it's summer vacation, there are already many teenagers of different sizes gathering together to play or chat.

Shanhe put her bag on the chair beside the field and watched her sister walk into the field with ease and greet several groups of children. Most of them even called her "Sister Xiaoxi!"

It seems that Qiu Chuxi is really good at it!

Qiu Chuxi and Qin Nan put on their protective gear, stepped on their skateboards, and started playing!

Today, my brother came with me. Qiu Chuxi was skating very hard, using all his abilities.

Don't tell me, he skated very well. His movements such as Mongolian kick, reverse slide, reverse kick, pig jump, reverse kick, etc. were very smooth, which aroused a burst of cheers from the young men and women in the field!

Ten minutes later, Qiu Chuxi and the teenagers in the field waved and returned to her brother. She asked with a sweaty face: "Brother, how is my skating? Isn't it handsome?"

Shanhe smiled and gave his sister a thumbs up, "It's great skating, much better than I expected. It seems you do have a talent for physical coordination!"

"That's right! I am your sister's voluntary coach here, and Sister Nannan was also taught by me!" Qiu Chuxi showed off with a proud look on her face.

After showing off with her brother for a while, Qiu Chuxi started setting up her stall. Looking at the situation, you knew this was not the first time!

Qiu Chuxi skillfully guided a few beginners on skateboarding skills while introducing the products in her stall to a few girls. Perhaps because she was good at skateboarding and willing to teach, the business of the stall was not bad, and she sold several units in a short time. Girls accessories and doll keychains!

Shanhe watched his sister skillfully introduce sales, negotiate prices and collect money, and chat with a few girls from time to time.

He was very impressed by his sister, she was so amazing, she knew how to make reasonable use of her own strengths and connections!

After Qiu Chuxi was busy for half an hour, a dozen young men and women aged 18 or 19 came to the venue carrying small speakers. They were probably young hip-hop dancers. They looked so strange in their dressing up. No wonder her mother didn't let her sister learn hip-hop. !

They started playing DJ dance music on the small speakers they brought with them, and several of the girls even ran over to say hello to Qiu Chuxi.

"Brother, these are the sisters who taught me street dance. They are all students of the New Idol Art School. Their school has professional teachers who teach street dance. Sister Nannan and I went there! Help me look at the stalls for a while!" Qiu Chuxi turned around and followed Shanhe said hello and ran out with Qin Nan.

Shanhe looked at his sister's back and couldn't laugh or cry. You asked me, a world-famous writer, to help you look at the street stalls. They were selling little girl's gadgets. Qiu Chuxi, you are so awesome!

Even the driver, Brother Wang, who had been silent beside him, grinned slightly.

Fortunately, after Qiu Chuxi left, the stall lost popularity. Two serious men were not popular with young people.

Shanhe carefully observed the words and actions of the group of young men who killed Matt.

Lou Xiaoyun in "Bottom Hot Girl" should have this kind of virtue!

At this time, the Shamat look is extremely popular among teenagers. A head of colorful hair, jeans and a vest, with a short denim or leather top on the outside. It is a cooler gesture than this!

No matter how you look at the mountains and rivers, they are exaggerated and filled with joy!

It seems that Qiu Chuxi has been learning for a while, and she dances well, but Qin Nan is much worse. It is probably because of the lack of exercise in the past and poor physical coordination!

Shanhe watched his sister bouncing around with several girls, but in his mind was the scene from "Bottom Hot Girl". Lou Xiaoyun seemed to be among them, and a rebellious girl who fit the current aesthetic was quickly sketched in his mind!

Shanhe was immersed in the characters and scenes of "Bottom Hot Girl". He didn't know how long it took before he was pulled back by his sweaty sister.

"Brother, you are distracted again! Are you thinking about novels again?" Qiu Chuxi asked, raising her head and drinking her drink.

"Have you finished dancing?" Shanhe took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to the two girls, "Xixi, Qin Nan, I don't object to you two learning to dance hip-hop, but you can't style it. I feel dizzy looking at the afros!"

"We won't do it so weird, but this style is popular now. Many celebrities dress like this, including Jay Chou!"

"If you dress like this, your mother will shave your head and lock you in the house!"

…

From this day on, Shanhe began to accompany his sister on skateboards, learn street dancing and run a street stall.

He carried a pen and a notebook with him. These young men who killed Matt gave him inspiration, and the storyboard script for "Bottom Hot Girl" was written very smoothly.

Just when Shanhe spent the summer with his sister and was immersed in the script, an event of great influence occurred in the Chinese entertainment industry, which even brought some changes to the future of the Chinese entertainment industry.

The veteran actor who played Little White Dragon in Journey to the West was hospitalized by two popular Hong Kong and Taiwan stars!

Shanhe in the Magic City also saw this news, but he didn't pay attention at the time.

There are all kinds of weird things in the entertainment industry. A crew is like a small society. Media reports are often just to gain attention or are deliberate hypes by the crew.

After reading it, Shan He just laughed it off!

But the reports in the next two days made Shanhe begin to pay attention to this incident.

Because this incident involved two popular Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and a veteran actor from the Mainland, the media caught wind of the incident and the incident quickly spread online and in real life.

Various opinions were spoken by different people!

In his previous life, Shan He didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, and had no memory of this incident. At first, he just watched the gossip about everyone's acting skills in the media.

But after watching the interviews with the two popular Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and the press conference of the crew, Shanhe felt a little uncomfortable!

From the words of the two Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, Shanhe could hear contempt and ridicule. They seemed to be dismissive of the mainland artists. The crew's press conference also did not apologize at all, with an attitude of saying that I will beat you and do nothing. , full of contempt and indifference!

It’s normal for Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles to come to the mainland to make money. You want to make money and I want to make money. You make yours and I make mine!

But it seems that the mainland circles praise this group of Hong Kong and Taiwanese people too highly. They seem to be accustomed to being superior to others. Their remuneration is several times that of the mainland film and television circles, and the status of the crew is even higher than that of the mainland film and television circles.

They seemed so confused that they no longer knew who they were!

Shan He quickly dialed Yang Liu's phone and asked her to figure out the whole story and reply to him as soon as possible.

That afternoon, Shanhe found out what happened through Yangliu.

The beating incident was the breaking point of the conflict between the two. In fact, there had been sporadic conflicts in the crew from the beginning.

The reason is very simple, the imbalance between treatment and status. This veteran actor is probably used to the status and treatment in domestic film crews, and he values ​​pay and face, so he will not adapt to this Hong Kong and Taiwan film crew as soon as he joins it.

The status of the crew is so different that even the Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, even the makeup artists and assistants, are shouting at the mainland staff and actors, so there are all kinds of quarrels and disputes.

The last time, there was a quarrel because the veteran actor was sitting on the Hong Kong makeup artist's exclusive chair. The actor was so angry that he smashed the chair, and then the two Hong Kong and Taiwan stars took revenge.

Shanhe was a little annoyed. He was also a member of the mainland film and television industry. This incident was a naked slap in the face to the mainland film and television industry!

Shanhe opened his Sina blog, which he had never published before, and wrote:

No matter what the reason is, killing is a crime, and you should apologize if you hit someone!

Shanhe's blog was placed directly on the home page of Sina and began to feature the incident.

Shanhe's rare voice made book fans and melon-eaters quickly start to follow suit.

There were countless comments at the bottom of the blog instantly.

"See you soon! Shanhe's blog actually has a log. I support Shanhe. If you hit someone, you should apologize!"

"These Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities bully people so much that even the mountains and rivers can't stand it anymore! You should apologize if you hit someone!"

"Here I go, I just saw this report. You can beat people until they pee blood while filming! This cannot be held criminally responsible! Shanhe is right. No matter what the reason is, you should apologize first when you hit someone. I saw the interview, they They seem to look down on us mainlanders!"

…

"Damn it, I got angry when I saw it. This kind of people are really making money from us, and they still laugh at us for being stupid! Boycott them!"

"Boycott them +1!"

"Boycott them +2!"

…

Shanhe's words started to ferment this incident, and major portals and forums on the Internet began to report this incident with Shanhe's words!

"Killing is a crime, hitting someone should be an apology!" This sentence became the Internet theme of the day.

The next day, newspapers and media also began to report Shan He's speech, and public opinion began to turn to the old drama player's side!

Some people in the film and television industry in Hong Kong began to contact Chuhe Film and Television, hoping that Shanhe would change his words or delete his comments.

After Shanhe learned about it, he smiled slightly and continued to accompany his sister to set up a stall and dance. He was so self-righteous that he didn't know what to say!

Only one day later, many well-known mainland actors issued a joint statement to support the veteran actor and demand an apology from the attacker!

Among them are Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Chen Baoguo and others.

At this time, the matter was completely revealed, and the public opinion started to strongly criticize the Hong Kong Island stars. Only then did the Hong Kong Island crew know that they had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. The two Hong Kong Island stars were forced to go to the hospital to visit and apologize!

The domestic film and television industry has also begun to think about whether relying on Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to boost ratings and box office is a long-term strategy?

The film and television environment in Hong Kong and Taiwan has shrunk to the point where they can no longer support their film and television circles. They come to the mainland just to make money. Most of them don't even have the idea of ​​establishing a foothold. I just leave after making money. I don't have any sense of belonging. How can I care? What about your prospects and development!

These people can only work together to make quick money, and in the long run, they will do little to help the development and growth of domestic film and television companies.

Major film and television companies have begun to invest resources in cultivating their own stars. The status of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars has begun to decline, and mainland niche students have gradually begun to emerge!

After Shanhe added a fire, he stopped caring about the matter. How the fire was extinguished was beyond Shanhe's consideration.

He spent July immersed in fun times with his sister and writing scripts.

August 2004 belongs to the Olympic Games. Since the next Olympics will be held in China, the Athens Olympics in 2004 attracted more attention from the Chinese people than any previous one.

As a former Olympic bid ambassador, Shanhe paid even more attention to it!

From the moment Du Li scored the first gold medal for China, the Chinese sports army began to exert its full strength, until Liu Xiang's earth-shattering success and the women's volleyball team's desperate situation!

This summer belongs to Liu Xiang and the women's volleyball team!

Although Shanhe already knew that the two would achieve the final victory, the tension and excitement of his family still made his blood boil!

Liu Xiang broke the dominance of black people in sprinting and fought for the Chinese and yellow people. To be honest, this achievement is really great!

The power of the spirit is infinite. No one can deny this. The spirit of the women's volleyball team is an example.

Xie Meiyu, who never likes watching sports, stayed up late to watch the women's volleyball final. She even burst into tears after the women's volleyball girls came back to win!

This shows the importance of women's volleyball team in the minds of the older generation of Chinese people.

This is the charm of sports and culture. It can awaken people's spirit, and spirit is always the most important wealth for a nation and country!

During the live broadcast of the closing ceremony, Shanhe's family watched Zhang Yimou's failure for eight minutes on TV.

Shanhe even saw Tang Yan in the crowd, a long-lost acquaintance!

After watching the closing ceremony, Shanhe's family began to talk about Zhang Yimou.

"Zhang Yimou is your senior brother! He will probably get scolded this time!" Qiu Jiang said to Shanhe.

Yu Zhengchong also nodded in agreement: "The time is too short and it contains too many elements. It seems old-fashioned and blunt, which is really not good! Also, the performance of ethnic musical instruments at the beginning is a bit dazzling!"

"How should I put it? The aesthetic gap between the East and the West is too big. My senior brother paid too much attention to other people's opinions this time. I guess the venue was also limited. He needs a bigger stage. This stage is too small!" Shanhe replied with a smile. .

Qiu Jiang said unexpectedly: "You mean Zhang Yi will still direct the opening ceremony in 2008? No way! If this kind of performance happens again, he probably won't be able to survive in China!"

"Dad, Zhang Yimou is a bit stubborn like a farmer from the northwest, and he is energetic and sentimental. He has the courage to bear pressure and face difficulties. I think there is no one in the country who is more suitable than him. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held in China will always be We can’t let foreigners direct it!”

"Isn't there Brother Chen Kai?"

"Haha... I don't know what to say! Brother Chen Kai doesn't have the responsibility! He is too smart. There are too many things that smart people are afraid of!"

As expected, the next day, Zhang Yimou was questioned and criticized like never before. Among them, "a beautiful woman showing her thighs" was even criticized as bringing shame to the Chinese people!

Faced with the surging public criticism, Zhang Yimou was under tremendous pressure and burden. He was even a little afraid of returning to China, and was a little embarrassed to face the guilt of Jiangdong's elders!

At this time, Shanhe's call came.

"Brother, are you still in Athens?"

"Here, Shanhe, your senior brother made a big mistake this time. I'm a little confused now!"

"It's not a big deal, senior brother. It's just that the stage is too small and you can't perform. Come back and finish filming "Three Kingdoms" and let's do it again!"

"I'm not making excuses for myself. There are too many restrictions this time. The director of the closing ceremony in Athens can't do this or that. We still have to listen to him. We have changed three plans back and forth, and we haven't done it yet. I knew it would be this result from the beginning!”

"Don't think about it. It's all over. Just get scolded when you deserve it! If you can bear it, go back to China first! If it doesn't work, move to my place for a few days. My whole family is in the magic city, and there is no one in the courtyard in the capital. , just be quiet for now! "Three Kingdoms" is still waiting for you!"

"That's all. Thank you, senior brother!"

After a few brief words, Shanhe hung up the phone. No one could help him at this time, so he had to carry it on his own.

In his previous life, Shanhe admired Zhang Yimou for being able to withstand failure and dare to take over the responsibility of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games again. There is no reason why he can't do it in this life!
