Chapter 239 Chapter 239: Artistic Life

"Chasing Dreams" is different from "Invisible Wings", the rhythm and roar of rock and roll are dynamic and passionate.

Shanhe's fast-paced editing makes the whole song full of encouragement and passion.

This is very suitable for the taste of young people, and the lyrics are positive and uplifting, abandoning the decadence of usual rock music.

Even better than "Invisible Wings" as a promotional single for "Bottom Hot Girls".

As soon as "Chasing Dreams" was released, it was immediately popular among young people.

The number of clicks on the MV for "Chasing Dreams" has increased exponentially on the Internet, and the number of excited messages is even denser.

"It's so touching, running forward, facing cold words and ridicule! It sings the voice of our young generation. Shanhe is worthy of being the representative of the post-80s generation. This song will be my favorite from now on..."

"There is a power in this song. After listening to it, my blood immediately boils. I now have the desire to run and the strength to move forward!"

"This is a war song for young people. Facing the future and the unknown, we can only listen to the voice from the heart. Persevere! Young man!"

"Shanhe's songs and clips are so touching, and the two promotional singles are so classic. For these two songs, I have to go to the cinema to support Shanhe!"

"Chasing and running with an innocent heart, Shanhe is expressing his own successful journey at this time. No wonder he is so full of emotions..."

…

Zhong Lifeng looked at the growing number of messages and compliments on the computer screen, opened her arms, and stretched. This movie promotion was the most relaxing and stress-free release experience for her.

Shanhe's three short films have already guided the company's promotional direction. Coupled with the original influence of the novel and Shanhe, she even feels that there is no need to invest resources in other channels. "Bottom Hot Girl" can sweep the summer season.

The two promotional singles have been released, and the traffic and attention they have brought to "Bottom Hot Girls" have exceeded my expectations.

Next came the bombardment of posters and media. Zhong Lifeng re-examined the promotion plan. Starting from June 15th, Shanhe will lead the creative team to embark on the offline promotion tour of the film.

At this time, in Shanhe's courtyard, Yangliu and Shanhe were also discussing the promotional schedule of "Bottom Hot Girl" on the stone bench under the grape trellis.

Shan He flipped through a stack of newspapers and magazines brought by Yang Liu,

"Shanhe launched a new promotional method for the film, and two promotional singles detonated the Chinese literary and art market..."

""Invisible Wings" moistens the earth like drizzle, but "Chasing Dreams" is like a tropical storm. It is high-pitched, hoarse, and sings persistence and hope with youthful uncompromisingness..."

"Shanhe's two MVs are touching. Let's put aside the content for the time being. In terms of editing and pictures alone, Shanhe's directorial debut is eye-catching, both in terms of the actors' performance and the photography of the pictures. All reflect Shanhe's directorial standards, and the expectations for "Bottom Hot Girl" have been raised to new heights..."

"Chinese movies will usher in an era of mountains and rivers. "The Hot Girls at the Bottom" is just the beginning. Shanhe's youth trilogy will bring a strong youth storm to the Chinese film market. The public has responded to "We Are Young", "Send" You, a little red flower, will look forward to it even more!"

…

Yang Liu smiled and said to Shanhe: "Boss, these two promotional singles of yours are really a stroke of genius. They not only save the company publicity expenses, but also have a much greater impact than regular publicity. I think in the future, the promotional single will be the first to be released when a movie is released. !”

"Promotional singles are very common in Hollywood. Our domestic film market is not yet mature, and the promotional methods are too single. As the movie box office gradually increases, all kinds of early promotions will come out!" Shan He answered while reading the magazine. road.

Yang Liu nodded and responded: "I heard Mr. Zhong say that for the sake of movie promotion, Hollywood will speculate on celebrities to the point where they actually go to get a marriage certificate, and then agree to divorce after the movie is finished. It's really incredible!"

Shan He raised his head and glanced at Yang Liu, "Nothing strange happens in the entertainment industry, but spreading scandals is indeed one of the most effective methods. I was tricked by Disney back then, but it still depends on the actual situation. Not all Movies are all suitable for spreading scandals, and to be honest, I’m not too keen on this!”

"You're right, speculating on scandals is too low-level for you!" Yang Liu said with a smile, "Boss, do you have any objection to the itinerary arranged by the company for you this time?"

"I have no problem with interview shows, but I won't go to variety shows. You know my acting skills are not up to par, and I don't have the so-called sense of talent. I will make a fool of myself!" Shanhe shook his head and replied.

Yang Liu covered his mouth and smiled: "I will communicate with Mr. Zhong and the marketing department. The comprehensive publicity will begin next week. You must be prepared. Six sets of CCTV's "Chinese Film Report" and one set of "Art "Life", Beijing TV's "Super Interview" are our focus, and Phoenix TV's "A Date with Luyu" has also invited you, it's up to you whether to go or not!"

"I know!" Shanhe put down the magazine in his hand and looked at Yang Liu and asked, "By the way, how was the audition result between Hu Ge and Zeng Li?"

"Unexpectedly smooth!" Yang Liu replied happily, "Hu Ge's acting skills are still a little bit behind, but the director and screenwriter are very satisfied with his appearance. Take your time while filming! Zeng Li didn't have much hope at first. , after changing costumes for the audition, she really became a different person. Her acting foundation is very solid. Because she has more than ten years of stage performance experience, Zeng Li is very adaptable to the performance mode of this sitcom. She gave the role of Guo Furong to Won it! I also finished reading the script of "Wulin Gaiden" in the past two days. This drama is indeed very interesting, and your taste is as good as ever!"

"Oh!" Shanhe was a little surprised by Zeng Li's performance, but he was not particularly surprised. Sometimes it is difficult to judge the profession of an actor. Before Zhang Ziyi appeared in "My Father and Mother", he was a scumbag in his grade. Liu Ye was also almost eliminated by the Chinese drama teacher.

"That's good! How are Huang Bo and Bao Qiang doing recently?"

Yang Liu replied: "This year it is Huang Bo's turn to come forward. He has just finished filming "Migrant Workers of Survival" and joined the crew of Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing". He is the number one leading actor and his treatment is better than last year's Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang His current situation is a bit embarrassing. There are too few TV series and movies suitable for him, and his role is not suitable for small supporting roles. I have been helping him find projects recently!"

Shanhe rubbed his chin and recalled, when was "Soldier Assault" broadcast? It must have been 2008 when I saw it, and I remember it was adapted from a play.

But he remembered the director's name, because this director later made a TV series "My Captain, My Group" that Shanhe liked very much.

"Yang Liu, are you familiar with dialogue dramas?"

Yang Liu looked at Shanhe in surprise and replied: "Why are you interested in dialogue dramas? I have known drama actors. Zeng Li's classmate Yuan Quan is a leader of the new generation in the drama industry. I have even gone to see a few performances!"

"Look for a drama with a title like "Soldier Assault". I remember someone told me that this drama is very suitable to be adapted into a TV series, and the protagonist is very suitable for Baoqiang." Shanhe said ambiguously.

Yang Liu nodded with doubts and said: "I will look for it! Boss, sometimes your ideas are so wild and unconstrained that you won't even let go of drama adaptations!"

"I'm not here to pay attention to you. If you don't like it, then I won't say anything anymore!"

"No! I'm just sighing, thank you all the time in my heart!"

"Come on! I heard you whispering behind your back more than once or twice!"

…

In mid-June, the two singles "Invisible Wings" and "Chasing Dreams" are still expanding their influence in the country, and Chuhe Film and Television's offline promotion plan has been fully launched!

Compared with "The Lost Road", the posters of "The Last Hot Girl" are not only plastered all over the bustling roads in major cities, but also have many bookstores in the city. Each major bookstore has set up a Shanhe Book section. The movie "The Last Hot Girl" Posters are posted around the area.

Shanhe's promotional tour has also begun. The first promotional trip is to be interviewed by CCTV 6's "China Film Report".

CCTV Movie Channel was affectionately nicknamed "Six Princesses" in later generations!

This channel is not simply a subordinate of CCTV. Her full name is the Central Propaganda Film Satellite Channel Production Center, and her real identity is the youngest daughter of the Central Propaganda Department.

Her arrogance will be well-known in later generations. She does not broadcast the News Network, does not broadcast the Spring Festival Gala, and even does not broadcast the Olympic Games opening ceremony. For her, any program preview is just a decoration, and she changes the program or inserts a movie from time to time. .

The six sets are not only arrogant, but also have a big temper. I remember that after a certain female star became popular in later generations, she got a little carried away and dared to let the "Six Princesses" dovetail. The six sets have not yet spoken out. She was on various CCTV channels The brothers started to get angry together, and the eldest brother from CCTV even criticized the actress by name.

The actress was so frightened that she regretted and apologized, and was almost banned!

Shanhe naturally respected the "Sixth Princess" very much and arrived at the production center more than an hour early.

"Huaguo Film Report" is a daily broadcast column of the Sixth Channel. It is equivalent to the "News Network" of the Sixth Channel. The host is the beautiful Tu Jingwei.

As soon as Shanhe and his creative team arrived at the production center, they were welcomed by Jingwei.

"Hello Shanhe, I am Tu Jingwei, the host of "China Film Report", and I am very happy to interview your "Bottom Hot Girl" creative team!"

"Hello Jingwei! I often watch the movie channel. I like your hosting style very much. I am honored to be invited by the production center!"

"I'm a fan of your book, can you sign it for me first?" Tu Jingwei said to Shanhe like a little fangirl.

Shanhe took the pen from Tu Jingwei's hand and wrote on the page she handed over: Be a spokesperson for the movie channel and make the "six princesses" more beautiful!

Tu Jingwei took it and took a look and asked curiously: "Why do you call our movie channel the Sixth Princess?"

"Isn't your movie channel the daughter of the publicity department? I feel like you don't like to hang out with other CCTV channels!" Shanhe replied with a smile.

"Haha..." Tu Jingwei was amused by Shanhe's answer, "Your metaphor is very vivid. I have to tell our director this nickname. It's so friendly!"

After a few pleasantries, the pre-interview communication began. Everyone was already familiar with the script, which mainly consisted of unscripted questions from the host.

In fact, this interview was very short, and the total screen time of several people was only five or six minutes.

However, the two-minute trailer edited by Shanhe will be broadcast first on the sixth set.

The entire recording process took less than an hour. Tu Jingwei asked questions very pragmatically according to the script, and the several main creators responded equally pragmatically.

Jingwei asked: "Shanhe, why did you choose "Bottom Hot Girl" as your directorial debut? Does this movie have any special meaning to you?"

Shanhe answered: ""Bottom Hot Girl" is a youth inspirational novel, which is my true feelings when I was young. I have special feelings for the heroine Lou Xiaoyun. I have always wanted to turn her into a living girl so that she can always Inspire yourself and inspire our generation! In addition, this movie is a campus-themed movie. Compared with other types of movies, the structure and scenes will be simpler, which is more suitable for me, a rookie director!"

…

Jingwei asked: "After "Bottom Hot Girl" ends, will you also bring the remaining two parts of the Youth Trilogy to the big screen?"

Shanhe answered: "The title "Youth Trilogy" was not my original intention. I did not plan the three novels as a series at that time. I just wrote them based on inspiration. The same goes for movies, "We Are Young" and "Send to You". I should be able to shoot "A Little Red Flower", but it is not a series. I have no plan to shoot it all in one go. I still have to start from my own abilities and inspiration, and I am still a new director!"

…

Jing Wei asked: "Yang Mi, I heard that you auditioned for the role of Lou Xiaoyun in "The Hot Girl" while wearing a school uniform, and in the end you impressed the director. Is this rumor true?"

Yang Mi replied: "It's true. I went directly from school to the audition venue. I went in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare. Maybe it seemed more real!"

At this time, Shanhe interjected: "Wearing a school uniform is indeed a bonus, but mainly it was the tenacity in Yang Mi's eyes that moved us!"

…

Tu Jingwei asked: "Liu Ye, Yang Mi, how would you rate your performance? Did you encounter any difficulties during the filming? Was the director particularly aggressive on set?"

Liu Ye answered: "I was scolded the most by the director. I encountered a lot of problems at the beginning, mainly because I didn't get into the characters deeply. Later, I was scolded by the director for entering the drama. I am still very satisfied with my performance. I would give it a perfect score. , I give myself eight points!”

Yang Mi then replied: "The director is very good to me and encourages me most of the time. Liu Ye is right. It was very difficult at the beginning. I almost lost confidence in myself. Later, the director kept encouraging me and talking to me." Talking about characters and plots, I gradually let go of myself and turned myself into Lou Xiaoyun. Lou Xiaoyun will also be the coordinate of my future life. I can’t give myself a score, because later I became Lou Xiaoyun!"

…

After the "Six Princesses" interview, the creative team was divided into two groups. Liu Ye and Yang Mi went to a variety show to promote the movie.

Shanhe began to prepare a CCTV column "Artistic Life".

Shanhe was actually not very interested in this kind of show that relies on sensationalism to attract the public, but the "Art Life" column team was very sincere and invited him several times. In addition, due to the need to promote the release of "Bottom Hot Girl", Shanhe agreed.

Shanhe had watched several programs hosted by Zhu Jun, and the routines were basically the same. He could imagine the direction of the interview by the program team, and the script he was sent also proved his conjecture.

He also discusses his life experiences with himself, and even inserts some off-site interviews with family and friends to analyze the reasons for Shanhe's success and life insights for the public.

It looks high-end, but it’s actually down-to-earth!

No matter what Shanhe thought, he still came to the recording site of "Artistic Life" three days later.

After exchanging pleasantries with a few people from the column team, Shanhe began to communicate with Zhu Jun before the visit.

After going through the interview outline, Zhu Jun smiled and said to Shanhe: "Shanhe, since the main purpose of our program is to explore the artist's life journey, I may make some improvisations, so you have to be mentally prepared!"

Shanhe raised his head and glanced at Zhu Jun, smiled and replied: "I don't answer questions about personal privacy, and I have an agreement with the column team that my family is not included in the interview. I have no problem with the rest!"

Zhu Jun nodded awkwardly when he heard this, "Don't worry, Shanhe, my questions are all within the agreed range. If there are questions you don't want to answer, you can stop and we will make adjustments on the spot!"

"Okay, I know!"

"Then I hope we can cooperate smoothly and complete this visit as soon as possible!"

"Smooth cooperation!"

Since the audience participated in "Artistic Life", the entire recording process was recorded in sequence.

After a burst of opening music, Zhu Jun stood in front of the stage and spoke of the opening remarks: "Hello, dear audience, welcome to the live broadcast of "Art Life". Today we have a very special writer as a guest on our show. The studio was packed today, twice as much as usual, which shows the popularity of this writer! He started writing when he was thirteen, and his first book won the first prize in the National Youth Writing Competition. Award, this book was included in the list of popular science books for students by the Ministry of Education. It is still the favorite popular science book among teenagers. Starting from this book, he created a miraculous life of genius. The famous writer Qiu Qiu was invited to Mountains and rivers!”

Shan He walked onto the stage amidst huge applause and cheers from the audience.

Shanhe faced the audience, raised his hands in greeting, "Thank you everyone, hello everyone!"

"Please sit down!" Zhu Jun said to Shanhe with a smile, "Shanhe, we have specially made a short film about your legendary experience. Let's watch it together!"

Photos of Shanhe as a child began to appear on the big screen at the scene. Shanhe slowly grew up in each photo, followed by books by Shanhe. The voiceover began to introduce Shanhe's achievements, and finally settled on the pages of "Bottom Hot Girl" .

Zhu Junxiao said to Shanhe: "Before the interview begins, Shanhe, I want to ask you a question. Is your understanding and attitude towards the media a bit negative? Our column team has invited you so many times, but you have not accepted the invitation. , if it weren't for "Bottom Hot Girls", you would probably still refuse, what are your thoughts?"

Faced with Zhu Jun's sudden attack, Shanhe just smiled slightly, "Host, look back at the column name behind you, what can you see?"

Zhu Jun didn't quite understand Shanhe's rhetorical question, so he turned around and replied: "Art and life, this is the theme of the show. We are discussing art and life!"

Shanhe shook his head and said: "I think these two words are too early for me. When talking about art, I am just a seeker on the journey. When talking about life, it is even more inappropriate. I am only twenty-one years old. Life has just begun, I dare not speak nonsense about life, the name of this column is too big for me, I am still sitting here with fear!"

Shanhe's answer triggered a burst of warm applause and cheers from the audience.

Zhu Jun secretly admired Shan He's answer. This child really lived up to his reputation. His sudden attack was perfectly resolved by him!

Zhu Jun responded with a smile: "I can't understand Shanhe's answer. Even he said that, then who will dare to be a guest in the future!"

Ha ha…

At this point, Zhu Jun got to the point, "Shanhe, our big screen is fixed on the book "Bottom Hot Girl" because you have begun to move into another stage of your life, from a writer to a film director, can you tell everyone why you Are you committed to being a director?"

Shanhe touched his nose and replied with a smile: "My first book was a diary written for my sister. In order for her to understand it when she was still young, I also included comics on the side so that these short stories could be understood. More intuitive and vivid! This may be why my way of writing is to first form pictures in my mind and then convert them into words. I really want to show these first pictures in my mind, and making movies is the best way. It is also the only way. Directors and writers are both very interesting professions. I am very interested and confident that I can engage in these two industries at the same time!"

Zhu Jun nodded and continued: "We are all looking forward to your directorial debut. You just mentioned your first book. You were less than fourteen years old at that time. As far as we know, you have been a very naughty child since you were a child, but You seem to have grown up all of a sudden during this summer vacation, what happened in the meantime?"

Shan He smiled bitterly in his heart. If I said I was reborn, you would probably treat me as a lunatic. You are forcing me to justify myself!

"Uh~ I used to be a bit naughty, not much better than the bottom hot girl! It's just that the conditions in the county are not enough, otherwise I would probably be a non-mainstream killer!"

When Shanhe said this, there was a burst of laughter from the audience. Shanhe looked at the audience with a smile and continued: "That summer vacation, my parents sent me and my sister to our hometown in the countryside. My grandparents are farmers, and they are still I farmed in my hometown and worked hard in the mountains all my life. I couldn't leave there anymore. I helped my grandparents with the farm work for a few days. Maybe it was because my body was not used to it. I fell ill for a few days. Lying in bed, I thought I thought about some things that I had never thought about before, such as the future! So in confusion, I started writing a diary and started telling stories to my sister!"

"Accepting painful training is the best medicine for life growth!" Zhu Jun responded with emotion, "Shanhe, you are very lucky. You have experienced transformation at the very beginning of your life, and you have transformed so well!"

"I am indeed very lucky! Not only in terms of personal encounters, but also in meeting many mentors and helpful friends who have given me selfless help. Without them, I would not be able to move forward!"

Zhu Jun changed the interview process at this time and said with a mysterious smile: "Shanhe, you mentioned mentors and friends, and our column team happened to invite your mentor today!"

"Oh?" The column team didn't notify me of this segment. Did they want to create a surprise? Who did they invite?

Shanhe was a little curious, "My teacher, which teacher?"

"I would like to invite Xu Rong, the head teacher of Shanhe's junior high school, and Dong Yu, the head teacher of the high school!" Zhu Jun said loudly with a smile.

The program team seemed to be really attentive. Shanhe was very surprised by the long-lost figure. He quickly stood up, walked forward to greet them, took the hands of the two teachers and said: "Teacher Xu, Teacher Dong, why are you here? It's really What an unexpected surprise, after so many years, how are you doing?"

"Shanhe, you have grown up! Our whole county in northern Fujian and our No. 1 Middle School in northern Fujian will always be proud of you!" Xu Rong said excitedly as she looked at Shanhe.

Dong Yu didn't say anything, but patted Shan He's arm happily.

After Shanhe welcomed the two of them to sit on the sofa, he said to Zhu Jun with a happy face: "Thank you to the column team for letting me meet my two mentors!"

Zhu Jun said with a smile: "Let me ask Shanhe's junior high school teacher, Teacher Xu, how was Shanhe's performance in school when he was in junior high school? Is there anything embarrassing?"

Xu Rong replied with excitement: "When I was Shanhe's class teacher, he was already in the second grade of junior high school and had just started writing. When he won the award for the first time, I didn't know in advance that his diary had been published. What about Shanhe?" At that time, he was a very down-to-earth child. All our teachers in the school knew that his future was limitless. The sketch that impressed me the most was the sketch he directed. That was his first directing experience! All the teachers and students in the school knew that he had a bright future. We all laughed at their skit!”

"Oh, Shanhe, you still have such experience. It seems that you are very talented in directing!" Zhu Jun said to Shanhe.

Shanhe looked at Xu Rong and laughed, "Teacher Xu, now that I think about it, that skit was a bit silly. It was a show forced by Zhou Xiaoou. At that time, our classmates in the back row had nothing to do with her!"

"Haha..." Xu Rong also said with a smile, "Didn't you give me the nickname Miss Zhou?"

The two teachers and students who had not seen each other for a long time chatted about the past, and Zhu Jun and the audience listened with interest.

A few minutes later, Zhu Jun asked Dong Yu again, "Teacher Dong, is Shanhe High School as colorful as junior high school?"

Dong Yu replied with a smile: "He was specially recruited by the school, not because of his poor grades. The only way from Fujian Province to Modu No. 2 Middle School is through special recruitment. Shanhe and another special recruitment are famous special recruits in the school." The duo, another student is also famous now, his name is Hu Ge.”

"Is it actor Hu Ge?" Zhu Jun asked.

"Yes, that's him!" Dong Yu replied, "The two of them were influential figures in Magic City No. 2 Middle School at that time. One was a young genius novelist, and the other was the resident young host of Magic City Education TV Station. Wherever they go It’s all the focus!”

Zhu Jun smiled and said to Shanhe: "Shanhe, it seems that your high school career has been more exciting!"

Shanhe touched his nose and replied: "I don't feel like I am the center of attention. In fact, we are used to living and studying together every day. Young people are simple. Besides, Hu Ge was the last handsome guy at that time, and my grades were average. We are all small in front of a group of top students!"

"Haha..." Dong Yu and the audience were all amused by Shanhe's self-exposure of his ugliness, "When Shanhe was writing "Bottom Hot Girl", I called him into the office and gave him a self-righteous lecture!"

"Teacher Dong, please tell me in detail!"

Dong Yu recalled with a smile: "At that time, Shanhe was already a famous young writer in the country. As soon as the novel was released, the school gate was surrounded by reporters. The inspiration for "Bottom Hot Girl" came from a female classmate of theirs. He wanted to write The news of "The Hot Girl at the Bottom" spread throughout the school at once. I misunderstood it as soon as I heard it, and I became anxious. How could Shanhe write such a novel? Isn't it self-destructive? So I called him into the office. I couldn't help but scold him at first, but later I realized that I had made a mistake. I didn't expect that this book would have such a big influence. Until now, many students still use Lou Xiaoyun to motivate themselves. Shanhe can use it to motivate themselves. It was so great to film!”
