Entertainment Rebirth Rhapsody

Chapter 463: Aircraft Carrier Battle Group in the Chinese Film and Television Circle
In early February, Shanhe and his wife finished their work and couldn't wait to board the new plane "Kitty" prepared for their daughter, returning to Beijing to reunite with their family and spend the upcoming Year of the Sheep Spring Festival together.

The plane landed slowly at the Beijing airport like an elegant and cute kitten. Its unique shape and paint quickly attracted the attention of many passengers and airport staff.

"Hey, this is a private jet, it looks so cute!"

"Don't you find it very similar to the most famous plane in the country?"

"You mean the Flying Bear?"

"Isn't it? This must be the new plane Shanhe bought for his daughter. His son has the Little Flying Bear, so his daughter must have the Little Kitty!"

"Haha... you know what a perfect match a panda and a cat are. Together they make a panda, our national treasure! Shanhe and Annie are also national treasures!"

"The Qiu family's little princess' nickname is Kitty?"

...

As the photos of "Kitty Cat" spread and were discussed on the Internet, the news that Shanhe and his wife returned to Beijing immediately became known throughout the country.

The Shanhe couple, who returned to their courtyard house in the capital, had no time to care about these things. They were now holding their two children and immersed in family affection and blood.

Unlike her happy brother Xiao Xiong, the "kitten" Huihui, who is not even five months old, does not remember her two incompetent parents and cries loudly in Hathaway's arms.

This caused several elderly people to look down upon and criticize the couple.

"My dear, don't cry. These are your crazy parents!"

"Look at the two of you, what are you doing? Our precious little Huihui doesn't even recognize you!"

"That's right, you don't even care about your children. You have to go all the way to Country U to make a movie. You can't make it in China!"

...

"hehe…"

Shanhe carried his son on his shoulders, smiled awkwardly, and came to Hathaway, whose eyes were red, and looked at his baby daughter.
"Baby is getting prettier and prettier. Even when she cries she looks so pretty! Her big eyes are exactly like her mom's, but her mouth can't be like hers!"

Hathaway, who was feeling so upset that she was about to cry, burst out laughing when she heard this. She hugged her daughter with one hand and punched her husband with the other.

The excited little bear on his father's shoulder ignored his parents' flirting and just danced and showed off to his sister.

"Sister, look at me riding high. This is daddy and that is mommy. Don't cry!"

You know what, Little Bear is really good at coaxing his sister. Little Huihui's attention was immediately drawn to her brother. She stopped crying and stretched out her little fist to her brother.

"Dad, my sister wants to ride Gao Gao too!"

"Sister is still too young, so dad will carry her from now on. You are doing a good job as a brother. You must take good care of your sister in the future, okay?"

"My sister likes me the most. I will definitely bring her to play with me in the future!"

"Well, mom and dad will give you a reward later!"

"I know, it's my mom's trophy from TV!"

"Haha...you're quite smart! Not only a trophy, but also a toy!"

"Really? I want to see it!"

...

The family of four happily interacted with each other amidst the surrounding elders’ surroundings and their nagging, and began the Qiu family’s daily routine at the end of the year.

During this period, Shanhe attended the year-end summary meeting of Chuhe Film and Television, and learned about the development status of Chuhe Film and Television through the year-end reports of each branch.

Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the domestic film and Internet markets, Chuhe Film and Television has become a veritable behemoth.

Chuhe Production Center has become a large-scale complex integrating all film and television entertainment channels such as movies, TV series, online dramas, and variety shows. Thousands of professional production personnel support the daily operations and content output of the production center. It has completely broken away from its dependence on Shanhe and formed a standardized film and television production process and a complete talent training and selection mechanism.

In the past year, a large number of up-and-coming stars have emerged, such as Guo Fan's "You, My Deskmate", Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Knife", Xin Yukun's "Heart Labyrinth", etc., plus 201 Bai Yuxia, Chen Zhiyong and others led by Shanhe, Chuhe Production Center has firmly grasped the future.

The development of Colorful Prism is also gratifying. It has become the largest and most advanced animation special effects company in China. Putting aside the huge animation film plan, in the field of special effects production, Colorful Prism has quickly supported a piece of the domestic sky. It has not only undertaken the special effects production of a large number of domestic films, but has also begun to turn its attention to the global film and television industry.

The advantages of Colorful Light Prisms are obvious. Although its technical level is not weak, its quotation is far lower than that of special effects companies of the same level in Europe and the United States. This makes Colorful Light Prisms highly competitive internationally.

Tian Xiaopeng, Jiaozi and others are full of confidence in the Colorful Light Prism, claiming that they will become the world's leading special effects giant within five to ten years.

Golden Harvest Cinema Line has become the most well-known cinema brand in China. It has completed the layout of cinemas in first- and second-tier cities across the country, has begun to expand to third- and fourth-tier cities, and has consolidated the distribution of cinemas in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It is no exaggeration to say that Golden Harvest Cinema Line is the most profitable cinema chain in China and is more reasonable and healthy than Wanda Cinema Line.

Chuhe Studio is also developing rapidly. It not only has more than dozens of Class A (movie-level) and Class B (television-level) studios, but also has more than a thousand scenes for shooting ancient, period, and modern and contemporary films and TV series. It has formed several outdoor shooting bases for science fiction, fantasy, martial arts, history, etc. It receives an average of more than dozens of crews every week and can accommodate nearly thirty crews shooting simultaneously in the film and television city.

It also has the most advanced high-definition 3D studio in China and even in Asia. Many crews from various Asian countries come here to visit, with the largest number of crews from Japan and South Korea.

Chuhe Film and Television City, together with the surrounding Huairou Film and Television City and China Film Production Base, constitute the country's largest film and television production and tourist attraction, driving the economic development of surrounding areas and becoming a national landmark film and television industry development model.

In addition to the above four large-scale branch pillars, Chuhe Film and Television has also made great achievements in film distribution, artist management and film and television peripherals. To put it more impressively, Chuhe Film and Television leads and dominates the domestic film market!

In addition, Chuhe Film and Television's investment in the Internet market also shows strong vitality.

The development of websites such as Tudou, Douban and Maoyan has made great strides.

With the strong support of its parent company Chuhe Film and Television, Tudou.com has quickly become the largest video website in China. It not only has the richest film and television drama library in the country, but also has formed its own characteristics in animation, variety shows, short videos and other sections, attracting a large number of fans and netizens, far ahead of other domestic video websites.

By the end of January 2015, Tudou.com's Nasdaq share price had risen to about $150, and Tudou.com's valuation was close to $20 billion. Major financial media and investment banks at home and abroad were very optimistic about Tudou.com's development prospects, and they all believed that Tudou.com would surely move forward with the improvement of the domestic network environment. Compared with Tudou.com, Douban's rating is not as prominent, but it is also not to be underestimated. Douban.com has become the most authoritative literary and artistic rating website in the country.

It is not only the main reference indicator for the reputation of film and television dramas, but also has considerable influence in the fields of literary novels, best-selling books and variety shows. It is known as the two major online rating websites in the East and the West together with Rotten Tomatoes in North America.

Of course, the fastest growing one is Maoyan.com. In 2014, with the support of Golden Harvest Cinemas, Maoyan.com began to expand exponentially in China. Online ticket purchase has become one of the main ways for young people to buy movie tickets. Although the chaos of ticket subsidies has begun to emerge, the expansion of Maoyan.com has given wings to the Chinese film market to take off again.

The annual reports of various branches and network investments made the boss of Shanhe feel unreal.

Following its own footsteps, at the forefront of China's rapid development, Chuhe Film and Television, under the management of Zhong Lifang and others, has become a super aircraft carrier fleet in China's entertainment industry. It can be said that its scale is no worse than Disney's. Although its total volume is still inferior, its prospects are limitless!

As a reborn person, Shanhe is well aware that China's entertainment and film and television industry is far from reaching its peak. The next few years will be the golden age of the film and television industry. Chuhe Film and Television already has such a solid foundation. What kind of explosive power will burst out in the next few years is really what Shanhe is looking forward to.

After the meeting, Shanhe had a meal with several backbones of Chuhe Film and Television. Looking at the talents of Chuhe Film and Television, he couldn't help but stand up and toast them with tea instead of wine.
"As the founder and boss of Chuhe Film and Television, I am both happy and ashamed to see the group grow to its current size. I am happy that Chuhe Film and Television has realized my and your dreams and has contributed to the development of Chinese film and television. I am ashamed that I am a boss who just does nothing and is really incompetent. I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine to thank you for your dedication and hard work!"

Everyone stood up and drank the tea in their cups together with Shanhe.
"You all sit down. Everyone knows me. I don't like to say empty words. When I say thank you, I really mean it. It's not just a polite remark!"

"hehe…"

Everyone laughed, and Zhong Lifang, the group boss, spoke first.
"Boss, what you said is a little wrong. Chuhe Film and Television has indeed built a platform for everyone to realize their dreams. Everyone has indeed worked hard for the development of Chuhe Film and Television. Everyone present here has made an indelible contribution to the development of Chuhe Film and Television to this day, but boss, you are the core and most critical link of Chuhe Film and Television. You are the direction guide of Chuhe Film and Television, the spiritual leader of everyone, and the signboard of the group. Without you, Chuhe Film and Television would not have been able to get to where it is today without making any mistakes. To be honest, no one present here has your vision and mind!"

"Sister Zhong is right!"

Yang Liu continued,

"Think about the entire growth process of Chuhe Film and Television. As the boss, you have never made a mistake in your decision. From bringing Ning Hao into the company, to establishing Qicai Guangling, acquiring Jiahe, and merging Tudou, all of this would not have been possible without your great reputation and wise decisions. Boss, you are the pillar of Chuhe Film and Television!"

Kang Zhixuan also nodded in agreement:
"Boss, your genius should be used for creation and guidance. It is a waste to use it for daily management. Your genius and trust have created Chuhe Film and Television!"

"A scholar will die for his confidant!"

Tian Xiaopeng filled the teacup in front of him, raised his glass to Shanhe and said:

"Boss, when you decided to establish Qicai Guangling, many people looked down on us. Domestic film companies were waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. To be honest, even we were nervous at the time, but you kept your word. You gave us money and people. Qicai Guangling has been the group's big milk baby for several years. All of our employees admire you very much. From "Moon" to "Gravity" and then to "Young Yi's Fantastic Drifting", Qicai Guangling would not have been able to develop to this point without your leadership. On behalf of all the employees of Qicai Guangling, I would like to raise a toast to you. Thank you for your continued trust!"

“The same is true for our production center…”

"I also salute you on behalf of all the staff of Chuhe Film and Television City!"

"Golden Harvest Cinemas will not let down the boss's trust!"

"What are you doing?"

Shanhe was at a loss for words, so he picked up his teacup and responded:

"I sincerely thank you all, but you are all trying to fool me. This is not the corporate culture of Chuhe Film and Television!"

"Haha...we are sincere too!"

"That's right. Apart from anything else, we have to thank the boss for helping us get rich together!"

"Old Yu, you are so vulgar, but what you said is correct!"

"Ha ha…"

...

Shanhe raised his glass and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's drink this cup of tea together again. I hope Chuhe Films will continue to work hard and support Hollywood!"

"Okay, let's support Hollywood!"

"The boss's words are our goal!"

"What a heroic spirit!"

...

On February 10, the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" exceeded 1.5 billion yuan. Chuhe Film and Television and Happy Twist held a grand celebration banquet in Beijing. Almost all the well-known figures in the Chinese film industry were invited to attend the reception, and the Shanhe couple were also present.

At the cocktail party, Chuhe Film and Television and Happy Twist announced their future cooperation plans. Zhong Lifang and Zhang Chen took turns to speak on behalf of Chuhe Film and Television and Happy Twist respectively. Following the outbreak of "Charlotte's Troubles", the cooperation between the two will be more comprehensive.

The guests present were extremely amazed at the fortune of Chuhe Film and Television. It was really endless!
Starting from Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", Chuhe Film and Television has been a hit from the beginning to the end, and has been smooth sailing all the way. It's like God is helping. How can others compete? Will Shanhe's luck ever end? How embarrassed are we by what you are doing!

On the stage, Zhong Lifang, Zhang Chen and the members of Happy Twist took up hammers and smashed the ice numbers "1500", while Shanhe was chatting with Han Shanping and La Peikang, the new chairman of China Film Group Corporation, off the stage.

Han Shanping stepped down as chairman of China Film Group at the end of 2014, but his prestige in the Chinese film and television industry remains unmatched.

When he took over China Film Group, Chinese films were on the brink of collapse. The national box office had fallen below the extreme value. It was indeed a life-and-death situation. The situation was that if they did not reform, they would die!

It was also because of the market-oriented reforms he presided over that changed the entire ecosystem of the Chinese film market. Under his leadership, Chinese films emerged from the lowest point and embarked on the road of development, laying a solid foundation for the explosion of the film market in the following years.

It is no exaggeration to say that Han Shanping is one of the saviors of Chinese films. His historical achievements are obvious to all. Shanhe is Han Shanping’s greatest partner and witness, and also his greatest political achievement!

The relationship between the two can be described as perfect understanding and harmonious harmony!
Shanhe is also familiar with Han Shanping's successor, La Peikang. La Peikang had long been committed to the external dissemination of Chinese films and the exchange of Chinese and foreign films, and participated in the formulation of operational methods for Hollywood to introduce split-revenue blockbusters.

Shanhe had had a lot of contact with him in the past. As giants in the Chinese film industry, the conversation between the three of them was very peaceful, but it did affect the next development of the Chinese film industry.

The bigwigs in the film and television industry around them were extremely concerned about their conversation!
