Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 177 Chu Ci
Although Hu Xiaobei's college entrance examination essay brought some inspiration, the online real-name system also attracted the attention of ordinary people and senior leaders.

However, there is still a lack of driving force to help the development of online real-name system.

Now that the foundation for implementation is in place, we need to find the real bigwigs to decide whether it can be implemented faster.

Ordinary people don’t have the ability to hear what God says, but coincidentally Hu Xiaobei has this ability.

In fact, his plan was very simple, which was to submit a letter of suggestion, because of his identity, and most importantly, his handwriting - it was enough to attract the attention of some bigwigs.

He decided to spread the word through Professor An first, and then write down the suggestions word by word after receiving a response.

His calligraphy was very popular before, and after his shadow ability was promoted to level two, it gained a kind of free and easy demeanor and charm.

Earlier, when Mr. Jin obtained the calligraphy, he only admired it secretly by himself, but after a few days, he could not resist the urge to share it and showed it off to others everywhere.

Well... once the news spread, the calligraphy was borrowed by bigwigs to observe. It’s not that they borrowed it and never returned it, but they just needed more time to copy it.

Only then did everyone realize that Hu Xiaobei's calligraphy had reached a higher level.

Therefore, Hu Xiaobei has enough confidence to promote and accelerate part of the process of the Internet real-name system by writing a letter of suggestion in person.

To put it bluntly, when there is a certain implementation basis for this kind of thing, when to move forward is just a matter of a word from the big guys.

Hu Xiaobei figured out the whole situation, picked up his phone and called Professor An, who was still working in Gaul.

It was not yet the end of March, and there was a 7-hour time difference between the two places. Professor An should be on lunch break, so it would not affect his work.

Last year, Professor An was officially recommended to study abroad and served as the first secretary for education at the Chinese Embassy in Gaul.

In October 2006, the first Confucius Institute hosted by Jiangcheng University was established in Galloway.

Professor An was appointed by Jiangcheng University to serve as the Chinese director of the seven Confucius Institutes in Gallican in 2008.

Therefore, just to spread the news, he only needs to use his own connections, which is not too difficult.

After the phone rang a few times, Professor An's gentle and calm voice came from the other end.

"Xiaobei, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. Why did you suddenly remember to call me?" There was a leisurely but gentle tone in his voice.

Hu Xiaobei said with a slightly apologetic smile, "Professor An, I'm so sorry. I know you're on your lunch break, but I have something very important to trouble you with."

As he spoke, he tapped the table lightly with his fingers, appearing a little anxious.

Professor An chuckled softly, his tone soothing, "Don't be so reserved with me, kid. If you have anything to say, just speak slowly."

Hu Xiaobei straightened his expression, sat up straight, and unconsciously clenched his fingers into fists. He said seriously, "It's like this. I intend to accelerate the process of online real-name registration, and I want to spread the word of my suggestion through you, Professor An.

China already has the foundation for implementing an online real-name system. As long as certain bigwigs give their approval, the pace of progress can definitely be accelerated.

I think with my status and calligraphy, I can definitely attract some attention, but I need your help to take the first step."

Professor An didn't respond immediately. After a moment's thought, he said calmly, "Xiaobei, your suggestion is indeed meaningful, but there's no need to be so impatient. I'm sure you have your own special reasons, and I won't ask."

Professor An paused deliberately, then said methodically, "Since you've asked, I will naturally help you with this matter.

However urgent it may be, the subsequent proposals must be rigorous and detailed, and every detail must stand up to scrutiny.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaobei smiled with delight, his eyes gleaming slightly as he quickly replied with a smile, "Of course I already have a draft in mind. Once I get a response from you, I'll be able to write the proposal right away."

Afterwards, the two talked about some specific operations.

Professor An gave a few more instructions on matters of concern such as data citation, regulations and standards in the proposal before ending the call with Hu Xiaobei.

After the call, Hu Xiaobei decided to learn some more computer programming knowledge. He didn’t need to be proficient in it, he just needed to understand what was going on.

This would allow him to combine future experience and come up with more practical suggestions. But not long after contacting Professor An, the phone rang again.

Seeing that it was President Zhang of Beijing Film Academy, Hu Xiaobei guessed something and pressed the answer button: "Hello, President Zhang!"

Principal Zhang's voice was filled with joy. "Xiaobei, good news! The proposal to adapt the 'Dialogues Past and Present' series has been officially approved!"

Although Hu Xiaobei guessed the answer, he couldn't hide his excitement: "Really? That's great, thanks to the principal and the school for their strong support!"

Principal Zhang smiled and said, "This is also due to the high quality of your book. I will leave the filming to your company. The details..."

The two communicated for a while, and Hu Xiaobei also figured out the situation.

The proposal to adapt "Dialogue with Past and Present" has been officially approved. Thanks to the efforts of the Beijing Film Academy team, it will be jointly undertaken by CCTV and Hu Xiaobei.

To put it bluntly, the production was handed over to Hu Xiaobei's company, and CCTV was only responsible for part of the resource allocation, supervision and procurement.

Of course, due to the nature of the issue, Hu Xiaobei can apply for some official and CCTV resources to cooperate with the filming of the "Dialogue with Past and Present" series.

It can be said that before the filming of this drama even started, a buyer had already been found to back it up. As long as they don't do anything stupid, there is a high probability that they will not lose money.

Hu Xiaobei is not interested in making money by filming TV series. In his opinion, if you really want to make money, why bother filming TV series!

What he values ​​is the official and CCTV signboards, channels, resources, and the tiger skin.

However, because Hu Xiaobei was too young and had no formal directing experience, CCTV made a request - let him shoot a segment first.

As long as there is no problem with this content, subsequent cooperation will be carried out as previously explained.

Although this was beyond Hu Xiaobei's expectations, it was also reasonable.

I believe that there must be many people within CCTV who are optimistic about this project!

The duck that was at hand flew away. It would be unreasonable if no one took the opportunity to make things difficult for them.

Hu Xiaobei stroked his still smooth chin and began to think about the content of the filming.

First of all, the book "Dialogue between the Ancient and Modern Qin Empire" is definitely not easy to film, and it must be excluded first.

Secondly, although the book "Dialogue with Biographies of Ancient and Modern Masters" is suitable, it is still being serialized, so there is no need to rush it.

Then the only thing left is "Dialogue with Ancient and Modern Classics of China", which consists of 7 parts and 21 volumes. As long as part of the content of one volume is filmed, it will almost pass the review.

When choosing which volume to shoot, one needs to consider issues such as actors, costumes, props, staff, etc.

His newly registered company is just an empty shell, there are no staff at all!
If we really want to organize a team of people to shoot, it will not be possible in a short period of time.

If you want to be able to shoot in a short time and make the photos look stunning, then the best thing is to be able to do what others cannot do.

Hu Xiaobei recalled the relevant contents of the 7 volumes and 21 books of this book, and soon came up with an idea based on his current situation and conditions.

"Chu Ci" was written by poets such as Qu Yuan during the Warring States Period. It has strong local characteristics and romantic style, and is a book that showcases the culture and literary achievements of Chu.

There is a very interesting story in this book.

It not only meets Hu Xiaobei's needs, but is also very suitable for shooting.

With the assistance of Liu Xiaoli, the filming with An Xiaoqian as the protagonist, and the addition of a specific environment, it will definitely amaze everyone.

Coincidentally, the actor who played Qu Yuan in the original time and space is also in the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Of course, whether or not to still use him is another matter to be discussed.
