Chapter 422: Happy Twist

In September, in addition to being busy with the post-production of "Youth Yi", Shanhe also had to take care of the script outline writing for "Operation Mekong" and "North Africa Operation".

"Operation Mekong" can be written according to the scenes in Shanhe's memory, but "North Africa Operation" needs major changes.

Shanhe initially planned to adapt this story in a two-pronged approach, describing the entire evacuation operation from the perspectives of diplomats and special forces.

While Shanhe was busy, the domestic movie summer season in 2012 ended.

Faced with the successive bombardment of Hollywood blockbusters, Chinese-language movies in this year's summer season can be said to be seriously damaged. So far, no work has appeared that has exceeded the 200 million yuan box office mark.

"The Banquet of Kings", "The Great Wudang" and other domestic big-investment films have made grand debuts and left sadly.

"Four Famous Shops", which was highly expected, did not even break through the 200 million box office.

This situation continued until September. Hollywood movies such as "The Dark Knight Rises", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "The Expendables 2", "Prometheus", "Resident Evil 5", "Finding Nemo 3D" and so on dealt a terrible blow to Chinese-language films.

Chinese-language films such as "White Deer Plain", "Double Exposure", "Tai Chi: From Zero", and "Tongquetai" not only did not have a big hit, but also had unsatisfactory reputations.

The miserable situation of Chinese-language films in the first half of the year made the entire Chinese film and television industry somewhat panic.

The import quota of Hollywood films has just increased this year, and it has brought such a great impact on the Chinese film market.

How to defend one's own piece of land?

This is a problem facing Chinese filmmakers.

Coincidentally, this year happens to be a year of low film production for Chuhe Film and Television, and several well-known directors in the group are making big productions.

Without the works of Chuhe Film and Television, the momentum of Chinese-language films immediately dropped several levels.

While sighing, the media also put forward higher requirements for other Chinese-language film companies.

"Without Chuhe Films, the competitiveness of Chinese-language films is worrying. Chinese filmmakers need to learn from Chuhe Films!"

"Hollywood blockbusters are coming in full force. What can Chinese-language films rely on to resist? Is it only Chuhe Films?"

"The Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger, which requires Chinese-language films to get better and better, but the current situation is disappointing. Fortunately, we still have Shanhe and Chuhe Films!"

…

Domestic movie fans also talked about the failure of Chinese-language films.

"Domestic movies are so disappointing. The slogans are more awesome than each other, but the movies are uglier than each other!"

"Chinese-language films still have to rely on Chuhe Films. The level of other film companies is too far behind!"

"Shooting these bad movies has little to do with the level. Their attitude is wrong. They are all focused on making money. I think they are just fooling the audience!"

…

The disturbances from the outside world naturally reached Shanhe's ears, and he also paid attention to the disastrous failure of Chinese-language films this summer.

Looking at the domestic box office data handed over by Yang Liu, Shanhe shook his head and sighed. This is the real situation of Chinese-language films.

The increase in the import quota of Hollywood films has indeed brought great pressure to Chinese-language films.

Especially in the past two years, there has been a lack of successors in domestic directors. The sixth generation cannot support the box office market, and the new generation of directors has not yet grown up. The support for Chinese-language films is still a few old directors.

It was even worse in the previous life. Almost all domestic box office records were held by Hollywood blockbusters. Chinese-language films could only barely resist and were in danger.

Shanhe's intrusion has erected a flood control embankment for Chinese-language films, but the aggressive Hollywood blockbusters still overflowed the embankment, and the domestic film and television industry suffered a lot.

"Boss, what you said before is true. The trend of bad movies is inevitable. Look at what kind of movies these are. None of them are worth watching. In the end, we have to look at our Chuhe Film and Television!"

Shanhe looked at Yang Liu who was complaining, threw the report aside, and responded helplessly:

"They think commercial movies are too simple. It's not that you can make a hit movie just by having money. Without supporting hardware and talents, and without a serious and meticulous attitude, what good movies can you make just by spending money and publicity?"

"That's right!"

Yang Liu continued to complain,

"You say we are lucky all day long, but you don't look at what our Chuhe Film and Television has done behind the scenes. Take Xiaobai's "33 Days of Broken Love" for example. From writing the script to shooting and production, to publicity and distribution, how many departments and teams of Chuhe Film and Television are making suggestions for the movie? I'm not exaggerating. The lower limit of our Chuhe Film and Television's films is naturally several levels higher than the films they make!"

Shanhe agrees with Yang Liu's point of view. This is also the biggest advantage of himself and Chuhe Film and Television.

Filmmaking is a systematic work. Relying solely on the talent of a director, even if it can achieve temporary success, it will not last long.

The success of Hollywood lies in having a complete set of mature systems!

Chinese-language films still have a long way to go. Regardless of these, just do what you should do!

"Okay, don't talk about others, let's just do our best. Sooner or later, they will follow our example!"

"I know, I don't have time to worry about them!"

Yang Liu smiled and mentioned several invitations to Shanhe from film festivals.

"By the way, boss, did Ah Hui tell you that you have to attend the Golden Rooster Awards at the end of the month? The Golden Horse Awards has also sent you an invitation letter, which is held every year. Why don't you show up? In addition, the Tokyo Film Festival has contacted us many times, and you have to give us a reply!"

"I know all the situations!"

Shanhe nodded and answered casually,

"This year's Golden Rooster Awards will be held in Shaoxing, and I will definitely go to it. Forget about the Tokyo Film Festival and the Golden Horse Awards. The Golden Horse Awards is a pit. Who knows where it will explode. You know my style. It will be embarrassing for everyone!"

"You make sense. !"

Yang Liu thought for a moment and replied,

"The Golden Horse Awards still wants Huang Bo to be the host. How about I talk to Huang Bo?"

"Huang Bo has a high EQ and is more than capable of handling the Golden Horse Awards. Let him do what he wants!"

"If you don't go, he probably won't be the host. He and Baoqiang now worship you as a god!"

"Haha..."

Shanhe laughed when he mentioned these two people.

The first season of "Extreme Challenge" has been broadcast. This variety show has been popular in China for four months. Not only did it make the two generals full of oil, but it also made Mango TV and Tudou.com earn a lot of money. Even Chuhe Film and Television also reaped a lot of benefits.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang struck while the iron was hot and have begun planning and preparing for the second season next year. Before the show started, the advertising fees booked have exceeded the first season. The title fee soared from 80 million in the first season to 250 million yuan.

The whole entertainment industry is jealous!

Even Shanhe, the reborn, couldn't help but sigh. This money is so damn easy to make!

"What are they busy with recently? They just talk about it, but they don't bring anything to burn incense!"

"What else can they be busy with? They are busy making money. They have so many endorsement invitations that people are jealous. If you say so, they dare to show off. I will let them treat us later!"

"Okay! I was thinking of taking a day off. During this period, the post-production editing of "Youth Easy" and the writing of two scripts have exhausted me!"

"Then I will call them tonight!"

...

Shanhe spoke, and the two generals Hengha naturally began to make arrangements happily after receiving Yang Liu's call. They not only invited Zhong Lifang, Kang Zhixuan and other direct people from Chuhe Film and Television, but also did not forget to bring the guests and heroes of "Go Fighting".

That afternoon, as soon as Huang Bo called, the Happy Twist Troupe began to commotion.

When Shen Teng and Allen heard that they were going to have dinner with Shanhe, Zhong Lifang and others, they were excited but a little nervous.

At this time, both of them were unknown. Even though they had gained some popularity with the audience thanks to "Go Fighting", their self-positioning was very low.

This is the case in the global entertainment industry. Debuting as a comedian or comedian is naturally a level lower than other types of actors.

They are too far away from Shanhe. Even if you put up a ladder, you can't reach him. Not to mention Zhong Lifang, Yang Liu and other Chinese entertainment bosses. When they heard that they were going to have dinner at the same table, they must be excited and nervous!

The two ignored everyone's jokes and pulled Ma Li to talk and bow.

"Ma Li, Sister Ma, Boss Ma, we are your little brothers, you have to protect us tonight!"

Ma Li was amused by the two's weird request,

"You two think too highly of me, the people who came tonight are all super bosses of Chuhe Film and Television, and it's my first time to have dinner with them. I'm so nervous that I can't take care of you two. How can I, a female comedian, protect you two? What do you think!"

"You are more familiar with us than us, Sister Ma, when the time comes, you can introduce us to them, it's better than the two of us standing there in a daze!"

"That's right, that's Boss Zhong and Boss Yang of Shanhe and Chuhe Film and Television. If they stomp their feet, the Chinese entertainment industry will shake!"

"You two are just worrying about nothing. Shanhe and Boss Yang are very easy-going, and I don't have much contact with Boss Zhong, but with Huang Bo here, you don't have to worry about these, he will arrange the scene!"

Ma Ma Li looked at the two stage partners and continued,

"Lao Huang and Baoqiang called you up, probably to recommend you to Shanhe. They are the veterans of Chuhe Film and Television, and their status in Chuhe Film and Television is very high!"

"Sister Ma, don't fool us, I'm easy to take it seriously!"

"Recommend us to Shanhe? My sister, what you said is too mysterious, where is Shanhe, where are we, in the sky and on the ground, you can only see it with a telescope when you look up!"

"Who is Shanhe? Don't look at him with the eyes of ordinary people. He is famous for his discerning eyes!"

Ma Li glanced at Shen Teng and Allen,

"At the beginning, Lao Huang and Baoqiang were much worse than you. I don't need to tell you how good their conditions are. Look at them now. Is there anyone more popular than them in the country!"

"Sister Ma, you are flattering us. Can we compare with Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang?"

Shen Teng responded mysteriously,

"They have a destiny, and it's all over the circle. When Shanhe saw them, he counted with his fingers and said in front of Yang Liu that these two people are destined to be with me and will definitely help me rise to the top!"

"Haha... What a mess!"

Ma Li was amused by Shen Teng and laughed.

"According to what you said, Shanhe asked me to play in "The Blink of an Eye", and he also calculated that I have a destiny with him?"

Before Shen Teng could answer, Allen said:

"That's not the case. It is said that when casting was done, all the beauties came. Shanhe saw them and asked them to leave without saying a word. He only left you and Jia Ling, who are the most ordinary. Jia Ling is too chubby and looks too happy. There is no other way. The only one left is the ugliest one!"

"Haha..."

"Go to hell!"

...

That night, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang booked the largest luxury room at the Diaoyutai Restaurant in Sanlihe.

This was the most expensive hotel in Beijing at that time. It was said to be built in the style of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Shanhe came quite early with Xu Ahui. As soon as they entered the private room, they saw Hu Ge and several guests from "Go Fighting".

Except for Shen Teng and Allen, they were all old acquaintances of Shanhe.

In fact, Shanhe was also familiar with Shen Teng and Allen. Shen Teng was considered the most influential comedy star in Chinese movies in his previous life.

Shanhe was also familiar with Allen. He had seen the movie "Shameful Iron Fist" starring him and Ma Li.

After chatting with Hu Ge and Huang Bo for a while, Huang Bo introduced two new faces to Shanhe.

"Boss, this is Shen Teng and Allen. Like Ma Li, they are members of Happy Twist. Baoqiang and I are very compatible with them. Their comedy talent is no worse than ours!"

"Hello, Teacher Qiu, I am the actor Shen Teng!"

"Hello, Teacher Qiu, I am the actor Allen, and also your junior at Beijing Film Academy!"

Shanhe smiled and shook hands with the two one by one.

"Hello! Our whole family watched "Go Fighting". My parents were so amused by you that their stomachs hurt. I admire your acting skills. Your sense of humor and acting foundation are both excellent. I heard from Yang Liu that Happy Twist Theater has been very popular recently. How about it? Do you have any idea of ​​bringing the stage play to the big screen?"

Shanhe's words excited Shen Teng and Allen. This is the most awesome director in the world, with a famously accurate vision. Even he said that he appreciates my acting skills. Will I be famous in the future?

Shanhe was just as easygoing as he was said to be on the Internet, but the last question from Shanhe left the two of them at a loss for words.

They were both actors, and they really couldn't talk about investing in directors.

Ma Li came to the rescue and said to Shanhe:

"Boss, the three of us are just actors in Mahua. We need to find Zhang Chen, Yan Fei, and Peng Damo to invest in making movies. If they were here, they would probably jump up after hearing what you said!"

"Haha...Okay, you guys can tell him that if they are willing, they can talk to Yang Liu. I am very optimistic about your Happy Mahua!"

Before Shanhe finished speaking, Yang Liu, Zhong Lifang, and Kang Zhixuan walked into the private room together.

"Boss, our Chuhe Film and Television also has shares in Happy Twist, and Happy Twist is also a part of Chuhe Film and Television. I will talk to Zhang Chen about this tomorrow!"

"You have sharp ears!"

Shanhe replied to Yang Liu with a smile, and then asked Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang,

"Are all the people here? If they are, let's start eating. Let's have a few drinks today!"

"It's just the few of us. The boss has spoken, so we must drink happily. Well, Baoqiang and Ma Li don't count. If they are happy, we all have to lie down!"

"Haha..."
