Reshaping the landscape of the Chinese entertainment industry

In the evening, He returned home and chatted with his mother and father for a while, mainly about his work on the set of "Hero" and his own filmmaking.

His parents both supported his decision.

To support his dream, his mother, who was an editor, even resigned from her job at Emei Film Studio.

My father was also an employee of Emei Film Studio. He was Han Sanping's subordinate and had also worked with Liu Guoquan on films. At that time, he was mainly responsible for production and acting as a temporary cinematographer.

He Changlin's father has never been particularly skilled in photography and filming techniques, which is why he has dreamed of becoming a director but has never actually tried.

He knew his own limitations.

In my past life, I was young and naive, and at that time I often heard people say that so-and-so made a lot of money by going into business.

So-and-so has become the big boss again.

Therefore, he was very concerned about going into business, but he didn't care about his parents' business at all.

He also didn't want to take over He Changlin's business, and He Changlin himself lost the will to strive.

So even when he had the opportunity to climb the ladder, he didn't actively pursue it and instead enjoyed his retirement early.

Almost all the connections I've built up over my lifetime have become useless.

The reason for this was that the film and television industry at that time was indeed not very lucrative; most people were just struggling laborers.

Even for many female celebrities, their biggest wish is to find a rich man and marry him as soon as possible.

Those who came before could never have imagined that the takeoff after 08 would be so terrifying, its money-making power was simply incredible.

He Ye only saw his parents' meager monthly wages at the time and thought that being a celebrity and making movies were not lucrative professions, which is why he decided to change careers.

Unfortunately, he didn't make a name for himself after changing careers, and he didn't do as well as his father.

So in 2015 I felt very regretful and wanted to go back to this path, but it was all too late.

After capital entered the market, all sorts of strange and monstrous things emerged. His father exhausted all his connections just to get him to barely make ends meet.

They say that once someone leaves, the tea cools down.

This is only natural; after all, by the time He Ye regrets it, it will be ten or twenty years later.

At that time, my father was getting old, and some of his connections had either died or retired. It was already quite good that he could get some things for him.

So, given a second chance, He didn't stubbornly follow the path his father wanted him to take, just like he did in his previous life.

Seemingly seeing that he had a successor, the old man's desire to work hard became stronger than ever before, and he once again contacted his former leader who had been transferred to Beijing.

Three years ago, he was selected and transferred to the capital, where he became Han Sanping's subordinate again.

As for her mother, Xu Wan, she voluntarily resigned from her job as an editor and also withdrew from the association, dedicating herself to managing the studio and the family's finances.

Two years ago, she even felt that she was not capable enough, so she enrolled in a class to learn how to manage.

It can only be said that He is a lucky person.

Everyone else hopes their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes.

But he did the opposite; he directly helped his father become a dragon and his mother a phoenix.

As for himself, he only contributed some of the prophetic knowledge of the reborn to acquire some wealth for his family.

Of course, in order to make their information believable, He did something else; he did cultivate a persona of being a genius who was a little smarter than others.

However, it wasn't too outrageous; he simply "wrote" a novel that was basically in line with what someone his age could write.

For example, youth novels like "The Best of Us," and short science fiction stories like "Paper in Hand, Love in Heart" and "Mono no Aware."

Of course, he also read novels like "The Hunger Games Trilogy" and "The Fault in Our Stars".

This is probably the only advantage he has from being reborn: he has a better memory and can remember everything he saw in his previous life.

However, several of these are in English, which makes them a bit troublesome to "write".

In addition, he has had to learn a lot of things every day over the past few years, as well as some unexpected events, so he has not yet completely 'written' it.

But only one last thing remains.

As for the unexpected, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about.

Because he was careless when he wrote the novel, he even wrote "Juno" as well, and he also had a very good relationship with his parents.

I didn't hide anything I wrote.

So I saw it when my mom was cleaning the room.

His parents don't interfere with his writing. The studio his mother set up has mainly been for the purpose of promoting his novels over the years.

They might not like movies like "The Hunger Games," but they don't really care; everyone has their moments of being a bit immature.

In addition, He Ye has always had an unconventional way of thinking and often engages in science fiction, which they don't understand but respect.

But after seeing "Juno," I just couldn't understand it no matter what.

He Ye had to put in a lot of effort to convince them that this wasn't something that happened to him or someone he knew.

This left He Ye speechless.

It was around that time that he became completely fed up with writing books, and even his writing of "The Hunger Games" slowed down considerably.

Fortunately, He didn't act rashly and take out Fifty Shades of Grey directly.

Otherwise, if their parents saw this, they might suspect that their family's genes had mutated, and how they could have produced such a freak.

This English novel also has a Chinese title, "Fifty Shades of Grey," and it was originally an SM novel inspired by "Twilight."

It can be considered a fan fiction of Twilight to some extent. It was originally published on the Internet and was called Master of the Universe.

It was written by a female author.

It can only be said that when women get fierce, men are just like little brothers.

……

He Ye's thoughts wandered as he chatted with his parents.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm confident. I studied with Teacher Mu for three years and learned a lot from Director Zhang Yimou. He even personally guided me through the filming. There's definitely no problem with the movie."

When facing her parents, He was not as confident and flamboyant as she was in public.

But the confidence in his words was obvious.

"Since you're so confident, we'll definitely support you. Your old man has always wanted to make his own movie, but I know my own limitations—I can't do it. We can only rely on you!"

My father is a calm and reserved person who doesn't talk much, except when it comes to movies.

My mother, on the other hand, was much more assertive: "I've read your script, and it's not a big problem. Didn't you say you wanted to revise it a bit more? Well, revise it first, then submit it for review. We have the money to make the movie."

"I knew you guys would support me!" He Ye stood up with a grin, walked to his mother's side, and hugged her. "Mom, I'm going to revise the script now. You'll have to give me some feedback later."

"Go away, you're so old and still don't know how to behave!" Xu Wan said, sounding unhappy, but the smile in her eyes just wouldn't go away.

He spoke a few words to his father, telling him to smoke less, and then locked himself in his room to re-examine the entire script.

This is pretty much how he has been interacting with his parents for the past few years.

A harmonious family brings prosperity; as long as the whole family works together towards a common goal, everything will go smoothly.

As for the script revisions, He also decided to completely rewrite Chen Xiaoyu's storyline.

In the original script, Chen Xiaoyu was Lao Zhou's helper, a tool to drive the plot forward.

Now, she's going to become the other leg of the story.

Old Zhou's story is about the dignity and struggles of old age.

Chen Xiaoyu's story is about love and farewell to her daughter.

The two storylines run parallel and finally converge at the end of the film, where Lao Zhou collapses and Chen Xiaoyu goes on stage to sing.

At that moment, the two lines completed their final interweaving.

He became more and more excited as he thought about it, and started rewriting it overnight.

Two days later, the complete script was finally finished. Mom Xu Wan was very satisfied after reading it, and then gave it to Mu Deyuan to take a look. He thought it was also good.

Then Dad took the script and personally submitted it for review.

P.S.: Some readers have commented that the protagonist's name is not conducive to listening to the audiobook and seems a bit out of place. Actually, I have a real-life counterpart with this name (that's what it sounds like), and the Wudang King in Under One Person also has this name.

However, since readers have mentioned it, I will revise it around chapters 19-20. Actually, it's not really about changing the name, but rather giving the protagonist a stage name. This is a plot point that came to mind after readers reminded me of it yesterday.
