Filming "Red Dawn" is a decision made by Shen Zhenghui after thinking about it for a long time, for him, although it is very prepared from the perspective of various arrangements, it is actually somewhat impulsive. Shen Zhenghui feels that he is under a lot of pressure, if he is not 37 years old but 73 years old now, of course, it would be good to retire after becoming famous, but the actual situation is that the current situation has put more pressure on him, especially after being crowned the world's No. 1 director (box office), although he has also been repeatedly ridiculed for swiping eight films shamelessly on the series of movies "Magic Apprentice", and at the same time borrowing the limelight of the Pandora format, but there is no doubt about it, The audience is obviously demanding more and more from a successful director who is only in his thirties. He himself was not sure that he would be able to keep up with the frenzy of the times.

On the other hand, his daughter Ling and son have gradually grown up, Wang Anping also wants to have a child, which is really a headache for him, and Aonuma Tomoaki, who has not expressed his position, although the news that Aonuma Tomoaki is his lover has been spread all over the entertainment industry, the longer it drags on, the worse it seems to end.

Coupled with some tedious work, Shen Zhenghui finally decided to play big. Although his actions were almost fatal, from the few foresights he still had left, he was certain that there must be people in the country's leadership who supported him.

His purpose is definitely different from Jingjing, just to make a start, shoot a cannon, and then become cannon fodder himself. Shen Zhenghui has enough confidence in himself, of course, maybe he has enough confidence in his assets. After inventory, his assets have exceeded 10 billion US dollars strictly calculated, of course, most of them are shares that cannot be realized in a short period of time, but since there is this number, it is a foundation. Then even if you are wanted, you will probably be able to survive well in this world, not to mention that you will not reach the wanted Cheng dù at all.

However, not only Shen Zhenghui, even Mitsumi Fukuda, and even anyone who knew Shen Zhenghui's death plan did not expect the frenzy set off by this TV series of "Red Dawn".

Originally, it was scheduled to be broadcast once a week, but after Shen Zhenghui's interest came up. The shooting progress was like a god, many of the shots were shot under a green screen, and Shen Zhenghui used computer synthesis in the virtual world for the final composite shot. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't make something out of nothing, Shen Zhenghui even thought that he could directly use the virtual world to generate the entire story, but then he had to explain why he made a TV series without filming at all. The TV series was already in Shen Zhenghui's mind before filming, even if the author had not finished writing the novel at this moment. Shen Zhenghui's actual shooting is just to reproduce the footage in his mind, and the actors who participated in the filming were also very surprised by Shen Zhenghui's ability to control, many shots were passed at one time, looking back at the effect. On the contrary, it is very good, many actors don't know why their acting skills have improved to this kind of Cheng dù all of a sudden, in fact, this can only be blamed on the director's ability to capture too strongly, and at the same time, he has long been confident about the story itself in his heart.

As a result, the first release was not one episode, but three episodes. The first three episodes can't say that there is a "slow thief" content, and the traverser Chen Ke - although he didn't say it explicitly, but people with common sense of history can understand what is going on at a glance. The whole story is even very soothing at first. The highlights are basically the background and scenes of the late sunshine, as well as all kinds of details. Shaoxing and Shanghai in the layout truly reproduce the style of the late Qing Dynasty. conquered the audience from the details, and made everyone sigh that it was worthy of Shen Zhenghui, and in terms of details and sets, he suddenly opened up the distance from all similar TV series and movies.

The protagonist mortgages Qiu Jin with a mechanical watch in exchange for silver, writes a time-traveling essay such as "Who is the enemy of China", explains "Capital" to everyone in the Shanghai Dyeing Workshop, plays with flashlights, and so on. After these scenes revealing his identity as a traverser, they were exchanged for a smile from the audience who were expecting it, and then many viewers who didn't know the story felt a little strange. Soon, the discussion forum on the official website immediately opened a new post, and the newcomers who watched the video and didn't understand the background at all began to register accounts to post. "You already have a mechanical watch on your hand in the evening?"

The three episodes of the TV series can be watched online or downloaded for free, and then all major video websites also have this source in the form of user uploads, and Shen Zhenghui's name made the TV series "Red Dawn" quickly spread through the Internet. Of course, this is a normal thing in China. Unexpectedly, overseas, "Red Dawn" is also very popular. Not to mention the Japanese website, which is basically synchronized with China, even Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, enthusiastic viewers quickly completed the diversion, and in addition, the local subtitle group in Southeast Asia also quickly worked to add subtitles. To everyone's surprise, in the United States and Europe, "Red Dawn" also caused some kind of topic on the Internet, maybe because of Shen Zhenghui's fame, maybe because of the free form, plus when it was disseminated, Shen Zhenghui had already prepared subtitles in mainstream languages such as English, French, and German, so there was no pressure for the film source to circulate in Europe and the United States, and some small countries added their own subtitles by their own subtitle groups.

Shen Zhenghui did not expect that audiences in Europe and the United States would also be interested in this theme, at first he thought that it would only be a small group - such as lovers of military history novels - would be interested in this story, but soon, the information fed back from the Internet made his three views have to be reshaped. "Red Dawn" has aroused widespread interest in Europe and the United States, and it is definitely not limited to the military and military houses. On the surface, it seems that the audience has a soft spot for the theme of time-travel, although many people do not know what the situation of China was like in 1905, but they are very interested in the details of the scene, of course, there are movies and TV series in Europe and the United States, but they seem to be attracted by the exoticism of China. By the way, they were also interested in China's history, and some enthusiastic people started to do science popularization work on the Internet, introducing China's internal and external situation in the early 20th century. This is in line with the impression that people in Europe and the United States have of China in anti-TG propaganda - Chinese people have braided hair, and then they are very surprised to hear that in 1905 China's minority rule was at risk of disintegrating, and that the so-called "revolution" was an ideological mainstream, because many wars were lost, the Chinese government was under heavy pressure to pay war reparations, and their domestic economy was very bad. A large number of small farmers went bankrupt, and in the face of natural and man-made disasters, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the misery was unbearable.

In the dyeing workshop, Marx's "Capital" was first used as a commercial guide to understand, which made the audience in Europe and the United States more and more interested. After 2008, under the pressure of the economic crisis, Capital became a bestseller again, but how to understand this book is a difficult thing for the people in Europe and the United States, who have been cut off from socialist thinking for decades. So in this TV series, they heard an easy relay, to understand the operation of capital, to be able to know how to do business. From this point of view, Capital is actually a book of business secrets.

Shen Zhenghui initially considered overseas distribution, the purpose of which was to serve as a backup way for everyone to continue watching this TV series if it was banned in China, but he did not expect that such a TV series about the history of the Chinese revolution would also attract the interest of foreign audiences. Of course, the subject matter of this story may be a bit flattering, and for people in all countries, it seems that they can find a shadow of their current situation in this TV series - the pressure of the country's foreign debt is huge. The domestic market is on the verge of collapse, and a large number of people are bankrupt...... The setting, which is very much in line with the real historical scene, played the biggest role. Foreigners want to see backward China from a curious perspective, and then they really see it, and then they are attracted to the plot.

In Shen Zhenghui's view, the influence of this TV series in China is what he values the most, of course, it would be great if it could create the same influence abroad. The situation at home is the same as he thought. The theme of crossing directly caused a huge sensation, and the excitement of those young people who were deeply influenced by the theme of crossing can be felt even across the Internet, and the official discussion area is in full swing, in addition to calling for the next episode to discuss the plot enthusiastically, because the novel has already come out. So there is a risk of spoilers in the plot. As a result, many people turned to discuss the comparison between real history and TV dramas.

The petty-bourgeois nature of the Restoration Society was mentioned in the TV series, in the final commentary, and this attitude towards the evaluation of history from the perspective of a latecomer has stimulated more people's interest in history, of course, in some veteran online novel discussion sites, this is a topic that has been discussed rotten. The worldview of online novels is also evolving, Shen Zhenghui remembers very clearly, in the early days of online novels, he slaughtered Japan and destroyed the United States, and felt that Japan's strong force was a huge obstacle to China's rise, but after the 311 incident in 2011, everyone lowered their evaluation of Japan, and even the United States became not so invincible after the financial crisis. The Chinese people have gradually evolved from hardship to bullishness, from inferiority to self-confidence. In the category of historical themes, Shen Zhenghui remembers clearly, before 2008, and even earlier, there were still many people who believed that the third way in history could be taken, and after 2008, it was very clear on a well-known online novel discussion website: without land reform and industrialization, China will not be able to maintain its independent status at all.

In the past, some people fantasized that they could build a new China without land reform or moderate land reform, but later, land reform has become a common-sense standard. Even discussing alternate historical novels is beneficial for deepening ordinary people's understanding of history and politics.

Shen Zhenghui's TV series also wants to play such a role. He wants to trigger a topic and set off a discussion, and then everyone will find out in the discussion and study that the theme ideas that run through the TV series are correct and necessary, and then they will be able to fully understand the road of the Chinese revolution in real history. Or, to put it another way, when discussing the TV series of crossing the sky, the basis on which everyone is based is actually real history, so the idea of being based on the reality of history is actually the same as asking the question: Does history go this way? It's both topical and interesting.

Of course, Shen Zhenghui is happy that his TV series has also sparked topics at home and abroad.

However, it is not without its regrets. After the release of the TV series, there were naturally hard-line opponents on Weibo to confront public opinion. Although I can't see it from the TV series, if you read the novel, you will understand what kind of story this is, what kind of theme, and what kind of political position. Naturally, there are die-hard people who openly proclaim that Shen Zhenghui's filming of a TV series with this theme is a historical regression and a bloody history, of course, such diehards naturally reaped most of the ridicule.

But there is no shortage of clever guys, such as a lawyer, who also fought back and confronted on Weibo, but what he did was to report to the Internet police, propaganda department, radio and television department, and other departments, shouting that it was necessary to carry out high-pressure crackdowns on ultra-leftists. It was a clever thing to do, and even though he had received enough swearing himself, it was probably his own reward in his eyes. If he does this openly, it is not easy for the relevant departments to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Shen Zhenghui's brand is too big and it is difficult to deal with for a while, but the novel "Red Dawn" does not have a big backstage, so soon, under various pressures, Zongheng had to choose to block "Red Dawn".

"It's okay, you don't want to be affected, it's better." Shen Zhenghui comforted Hongmao like this, "In this way, firstly, there are no spoilers for our TV series, and secondly, it has further aroused everyone's interest." Don't worry about the rest, just keep writing with peace of mind. The copyright doesn't cost a penny, and," he said after a pause, "the popularity of the TV series around the world has sparked interest in your original book, and in some countries there are already people who have translated it spontaneously, and in fact, we are already preparing to distribute it abroad." ”

"Issued abroad?" The rainbow cat was a little dumbfounded, "Is this okay?" ”

"Yes, but I need to add a lot of notes and explanations, and I will need your help with the detailed revision at that time, and the only requirement for you now is to finish the book as much as possible."

"Of course!" Rainbow Cat swept away the depression of the novel being banned, in fact, the copyright fee has long exceeded the income from writing novels, and if it is released overseas, Rainbow Cat has already seen that Blue Crystal is beckoning to him. (To be continued......)
