On the bed in the People's Hospital, Li Feng shook his head, which was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and he was still a little dazed.
"Feng'er, you finally woke up. You have been lying on the hospital bed for more than ten days at a time and you can't wake up. You really scared us to death!"
At the bedside, Li Feng¡¯s parents were both there. Seeing that their son, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up, they were obviously relieved.
According to the introduction of his parents, he was suddenly struck by lightning on his way home from get off work, and then he lost consciousness. Fortunately, some kind people on the road took him to the People's Hospital. According to the doctor's diagnosis, except for some skin injuries, he had no other physical discomfort. He just lay unconscious on the hospital bed, which made the doctor quite puzzled.
I have only slept for more than ten days?
Li Feng didn¡¯t quite believe it. He felt as if he had had a dream that lasted for nearly ten years. He dreamed that his consciousness was parasitic on a young man named Qin Tianzhu. Subsequently, Qin Tianzhu used his foresight to start his magnificent life. Especially after 2002, Qin Tianzhu and his Meihua Media became world-renowned.
In 2002, Meihua Media launched a total of 12 heavyweight TV series, dominating the entire Chinese screen. Among the 12 works, except for "Small Town Police" which was surpassed by the spy drama "The Conspiracy" prepared by Jujiang people, the other 11 works were all the top ratings of the month. Among them, "House" and "The Prince of Gymnastics" have entered the mainstream European and American markets. These two dramas have become the benchmark for domestic professional dramas and youth idol dramas. Chen Yibing, the star of "Prince of Gymnastics", lived up to expectations and grew to become the leader of China's national gymnastics team. He is a superstar spanning both the sports and entertainment industries under the Plum Blossom Agency.
??Meihua Media¡¯s popularity in 2002 was unprecedented.
This has also directly led to a significant surge in the overall ratings of Urban and Rural Network. In the 2002 annual ratings list, half of the top 50 programs were broadcast on Urban and Rural Network, which is very different from the situation in previous years.
Seeing that urban and rural networks are about to take off, various domestic provincial TV stations and imperial TV stations are thinking about countermeasures. The method they finally came up with was to break up the alliance between Urban and Rural Network and Meihua Media, allowing Meihua Media to have its own TV station. TV stations at all levels are actively working on this matter, and Meihua Media itself is happy to go along with it. finally. Lingquan TV, a joint venture between Meihua Media and Lingquan County, was established and merged into Meihua Group. In the media empire of Meihua Group, the TV station has been added.
¡¡
2003 is the Year of the Tang Dynasty in China and also the Year of the Tang Dynasty in the world.
This year. "Datang" was launched as a TV movie on the Imperial TV Station. Two episodes air every Saturday night. Play time lasted nearly a year. With top-notch audio and video effects, a super cast, and nearly a year of broadcast time, "Datang" has taken the country by storm. The finale had 1.03 billion viewers. With an average advertising revenue of nearly 3 million yuan per 30 seconds, "Datang" has set records in China that are unstoppable to newcomers.
In 2003, Meihua Group also launched two powerful tools, Xinlang Weibo and Youku Video. Through bundled promotion with "Datang", the three products leveraged each other. Promote each other and go to the world together.
In the United States, the Plum Blossom Group abandoned the four major television networks, which were king in ratings, and instead cooperated with HBO, which placed more emphasis on word-of-mouth. This choice of Meihua Media has successfully enabled the historical martial arts drama "Datang" to survive in the mainstream market in the United States.
Although "Datang" has grabbed US$280 million in revenue from domestic and foreign TV stations, this obviously does not satisfy Qin Tianzhu, who still has a trump card in his hand.
His trump card is the DVD market. 2003 was the peak year for DVDs, with the global market for DVDs growing by nearly 90% compared to 2001. Plum Blossom Media's "Datang" hits exactly this point. at the same time. Due to its excellent picture effects, it is almost comparable to blockbuster movies, but does not require going to the cinema to watch it. "Datang" is almost the best product tailor-made for the DVD market. The DVD Alliance also uses "Datang" as a tool to promote DVDs. Due to a combination of factors, the DVD sales of "Datang" broke the global sales record for a single audio-visual product.
At the same time, because of the super influence of "The Lord of the Rings". Meihua Media's overseas companies have gained a huge say in negotiations with DVD sellers and successfully won a share of the DVD market.
"Meihua Media's "Datang" has made a total of US$460 million in revenue from the global DVD market, and the overall revenue of "Datang" has reached nearly US$800 million. It created unprecedented market results for global TV drama products and was written into the Guinness World Records.
¡¡
year 2004. Lingquan TV launched "The Voice of China", which set off a boom in domestic TV variety shows. Its copyrights are sold to more than 20 countries and regions around the world. The world looked at him with suspicion.
This year, Meihua MediaThe year of ?ipo.
After more than a year of stumbling, Qin Tianzhu could not bear the huge dividend requirements of overseas listings, so he listed on the Shenhai Securities Exchange.
Riding on the power of "Lord of the Rings" and "Datang", as well as the popularity of "The Voice of China", Xinlang Weibo and Youku Video are also slowly gaining momentum on the Internet. At the same time, the State Council officially approved the positioning of Lingquan City as a new development zone in China's new century, with a level equivalent to that of Pudong New District in Shenhai City.
With multiple benefits, Meihua Group successfully raised US$5.6 billion in the securities market. On the day of listing, the total market value of Meihua Group reached US$56 billion.
At the same time, Qin Tianzhu filmed his own trial in the film market this year, "Uncle". When it was released at the end of the year, the domestic box office was 210 million yuan and the global box office was 500 million yuan.
¡°Perhaps people¡¯s expectations for him are too high, perhaps it is just a TV series and movie as the audience said, or perhaps the theme of this film is not well received by critics. In short, Qin Tianzhu's film debut received overwhelming criticism.
He himself is also reflecting on the difference between making TV series and making movies. In the TV drama business, Meihua Media has a screenwriter-centered operating mechanism, while in the film business, it has transformed into a director-centered system.
¡¡
2005 is the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Qin Tianzhu collaborated with two old partners, Huang Xiaomin and Feng Shaofeng, to shoot the film "How Soldiers Are Made". The whole film starts from the Battle of Songhu at the head of the Yangtze River and ends at the Battle of Yichang at the end of the Yangtze River, echoing each other. It reflects the great sacrifice and outstanding contribution of the soldiers as expendables and cannon fodder in this great anti-fascist war.
The film itself is excellent. Also due to Meihua Media's heavy investment in domestic cinemas, "How Soldiers Are Made" has a domestic box office of 520 million yuan. The total global box office is 980 million yuan.
In the same year, another of Plum Blossom¡¯s biggest hits, ¡°Transformers,¡± was released, with a domestic box office of 510 million yuan and a global total of 5.2 billion yuan.
The momentum of Meihua Media is so strong. Hollywood giants finally began to regard Plum Blossom as their most formidable opponent. The six major Hollywood film companies began to join forces to attack Meihua Media's films. They use their huge film resources to put pressure on theaters around the world. At the same time, local media resources were used to suppress the reputation of Meihua Media¡¯s films.
The business war between Meihua Media and Hollywood giants begins.
¡¡
2006. Faced with the challenges of Hollywood, Meihua Media¡¯s response strategy is. Expand the Chinese market and control the Chinese market. At the same time, it will increase the share of theater lines in overseas markets, forcing Hollywood giants to follow suit. The main market of Plum Blossom Group is domestic, but overseas markets play an important role among Hollywood companies. This strategy of Plum Blossom Group made Hollywood giants feel very uncomfortable.
This year. Qin Tianzhu shot the film "Urban Monsters". The film created a modern world of monsters for the audience, which was very fresh and packaged with a poignant love story that made people cry.
Deng Cao, the leading actor, became famous in the domestic film industry because of this movie and became a first-line niche in the domestic entertainment industry.
The total domestic box office of "Urban Monster" is 810 million, and the global box office is 1.03 billion. Influenced by Hollywood repression. Meihua Media¡¯s films this year did not do well at the overseas box office.
¡¡
In 2007, the book "Currency War Part 1" was published. Through the operation of its various media, publishing houses and other branches, Meihua Media created the concept of "currency war" across the country and even the world.
Relying on this craze. Qin Tianzhu's film "Currency War: Legal Currency Beacon" was released. The domestic box office total is 950 million, and the global box office is 1.83 billion.
¡¡
In 2008, Qin Tianzhu's new film "Inception" came out, which amazed film critics. The total domestic box office is 1.75 billion. The total global box office is 4.2 billion. Despite Hollywood's continued suppression, the overseas box office of Meihua Media's films is still improving bit by bit.
¡¡
Year 2009. The financial crisis continues to deepen. Major Hollywood film companies have spent a lot of money in their efforts to attack Meihua Media in recent years. Now that the financial market has become tighter, it has become extremely difficult for major Hollywood film companies to raise funds. The U.S. film industry is on shaky ground and in desperate need of government relief.
At this moment, Qin Tianzhu¡¯s technical film "The Call of the Original", with the world¡¯s leading 3D effects, swept the global film market. "Primal Call" has a domestic box office total of US$530 million and a global box office total of US$2.1 billion.
The war between Meihua Media and Hollywood has achieved a decisive victory.
¡¡
In 2010, Qin Tianzhu criticized domestic directors at the Directors Association Forum. I think many directors make films just for their own entertainment and are not worthy of investment.??It's also disrespectful to the audience, and it's not artistic at all. Even if the old movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is released now, it is a hundred times more popular than some of their useless films. He said it so rudely, which also annoyed many directors present. Some people choked on the spot, why don't you make a movie called "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga" yourself? Let's see how popular it is.
Qin Tianzhu kept his promise and spent two months filming the anti-war drama "Little Soldiers" behind enemy lines. It tells the story of a battle of wits and courage between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese behind enemy lines in order to compete for base areas. The Japanese in the film learned from the Eighth Route Army and carried out measures such as rent reduction and interest rate reduction, the Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention, etc. They also launched an ingenious campaign to send science and technology to the countryside, which made the local Eighth Route Army very passive.
The film is quite humorous and became very popular after its release. The domestic box office total was US$330 million, and the global box office total was US$510 million.
At the same time, Meihua Media has also modified the director-centered model of its film business and transformed it into a production-centered system. This marks that Meihua Media¡¯s years of exploration in the film business have finally come to an end, and the company has found an operating model suitable for the film business.
¡¡
In 2011, Qin Tianzhu¡¯s directorial skills have reached an advanced level, and the themes he focuses on have returned to their original nature. It took him one month to complete the biography "Lonely Ambition" in one go. The film is based on the chief designer of the J10 fighter jet, creating an image of an engineer who endures loneliness, is obsessed with the aviation industry, and persists in his dreams.
The film was released on January 1, 2011. Due to its excellent reputation, the daily box office has increased steadily. On January 11, 2011, J20 photos leaked online. At first, the public thought that some military fans took screenshots from the movie "Lonely Ambition" and then photoshopped them. It was not until a few days later that the official officially admitted that J20 did exist. The pride of ordinary Chinese people was instantly ignited, and the content of the film resonated strongly with real society. Many people once again flocked to the theater to relive the powerful personality charm of these aviation people who silently guarded their ideals. Spontaneously, at the end of the film, the audience began to clap and sing the film's theme song "Undefeated¡ª¡ªTwo Steps from Hell" in unison.
"Lonely Ambition" aroused discussions at all levels of the country. The President of the country delivered a speech on the theme of "Chinese Dream" specifically for this film.
At the same time, the film was released in China for a year, with a total domestic box office of US$700 million, the highest domestic box office record.

Recalling Qin Tianzhu¡¯s glorious life in his dream, Li Feng felt intolerable for his mediocre civil servant career. He made an important decision.
¡°Dad, Mom! I don¡¯t want to be a civil servant anymore. I think I¡¯m very talented in making movies. I want to be a movie director!¡±
In my own memory, isn¡¯t Qin Tianzhu an internationally famous film director? Since I have inherited his memory, what¡¯s the reason why I can¡¯t do well?
Li Feng's father was furious after hearing this. He raised his hand and slapped him: "In order to let you join the civil service, how many connections did the family have to rely on? Now you actually say you quit. What movie are you going to make? I'll beat you to death for being useless. What a bastard!"
PS: It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over! Originally, the next chapter was about "The Lord of the Rings". I coded some words, and more of them were some reviews I found online. After reading them myself, I felt like I was cheating on the word count, and I really couldn't make up my mind. I couldn't code any words for three days in a row, and I didn't want to force myself anymore.
Because my grades are so poor, my future writing direction is not in the entertainment star category. Therefore, I originally planned to write more intensively later, using three to four hundred thousand pages to write out all the contents in the outline and complete it. However, the content of the outline is all about making TV series and movies, which makes readers feel a bit monotonous after reading too much. I myself have been writing about this aspect these days, which makes it even more painful.
Today¡¯s last chapter is a brief explanation of the content in the outline.
In addition, Qin Tianzhu¡¯s works all have movie soundtracks, which have been recorded before and I released them all at once. The specific viewing address is the same as "The Swordsman". You can also refer to the "Original work background music address" in the related works.
The process of writing a street novel is not very pleasant. The only joy is that I have met many book friends of "Internal Entertainment". I would like to say sorry to the readers who have been supporting this book and giving rewards, subscriptions, monthly votes, and recommendation votes.
From now on, I will write full-time novels about military, political, and economic aspects during the Republic of China period. The next book should be a novel about establishing a base in Northeast China and confronting the Kwantung Army.
The new book will be released in about ten days.
Finally, I still shamelessly hope that readers will support my new book.
