Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Shanhe followed his father around for nearly twenty hours, and before it got dark, he checked into a hotel arranged by the magazine.

In his memory, Shanhe had never set foot in the largest city in China, and the fatigue of the journey left him no time to care about what the Demonic City in Jiuqi looked like.

After having a hasty dinner with his father, Shanhe fell into sleep.

The next morning, Shanhe woke up to the sound of his father's phone call.

"Xiaohe, wake up. Were you tired yesterday? When I told your mother that she was safe, she couldn't even wake her up. It made your mother feel bad."

"The magazine just called. Get up and wash up quickly. We'll go downstairs and go to the magazine after breakfast."

An hour later, Shanhe saw Qu Ling waiting at the door of the magazine.

"Xiaohe, you must be exhausted. Dad said you slept for more than ten hours." Qu Ling patted Shanhe's arm.

Shanhe was a little shy, "I've never taken a train for such a long time, and I didn't expect there to be so many people. I didn't sleep well the day before."

"This is our first time here, so we have no experience and we didn't buy a sleeper ticket." Qiu Jiang touched his neck, "We will have experience next time."

"Haha, come with me," Qu Ling led the two father and son up to the second floor and walked into the editor's office.

Qu Ling and Qiu Jiang were discussing signing matters at the conference table, while Shanhe was looking at the environment of the magazine.

"You are Shanhe, right?" A young girl in business attire stood in front of her holding water. "The youngest contracted writer in our agency, everyone says you are a genius."

Shanhe hurriedly stood up and took the water glass, "Hello, I am Qiu Shanhe, my pen name is Shanhe. I am not as powerful as you say."

"You're still shy. My surname is Li. Speaking of which, I was the first to get your book. Haha~ Sister Qu asked me to take you to visit the magazine."

Shanhe followed Xiao Li around to visit this quiet little foreign-style building.

"This road is probably the most literary road in the city. The Writers Association is here, Harvest Magazine is here, and there are many large and small literary and artistic units nearby. I guess you will be a frequent visitor here in the future."

"...This is the office of our column, and over there is the editor-in-chief's office..."

"...That's about it. Let's go back to the conference room. Sister Qu should be waiting for you."

Qu Ling looked at Shanhe and walked into the house, "Xiaohe, are you done visiting? How do you feel?"

"Sister Qu, Sister Li showed me around. The environment is so good, much better than I imagined."

"Call me Aunt Qu from now on. My daughter is only two years younger than you. Teacher Qiu and I have already discussed it and I need your signature here."

After Shanhe turned around and asked his father, he solemnly signed his name on the contract.

"Xiaohe, I will be your editor from now on. If you have any ideas or difficulties, you can tell me. I wish us a happy cooperation!" Qu Ling stretched out his hands with a smile.

"Aunt Qu, thank you for your appreciation. I will work hard." Shanhe held Qu Ling's hands tightly.

"Teacher Qu, then Xiaohe and I will buy tickets and go back later," Qiu Jiang calmed down, "I'll leave it to you from now on."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today. Xiaohe's booklet was spotted by the children's column of the Educational Television Station." Qu Ling refilled Qiu Jiang's water, "I knew you were coming today. The editor of the column wanted to meet Xiaohe and discuss the adaptation with him. The problem."

Both Shanhe and his father were shocked by this unexpected news, it was going to be on TV!

Qu Ling continued with a smile: "We will eat in the club at noon, and I will take you there in the afternoon."

Qu Ling then introduced the specific situation to the two father and son.

The Magic City Educational TV Station has always had a popular science column for children, and it is a cooperative unit with Sprout Magazine. By chance, the editor of the popular science column saw Shanhe's booklet, and he was inspired.

So I found Editor Zhao and asked to meet the author to obtain the rights to adapt it.

When I learned that the author was only thirteen and a half years old and still a junior high school student, I was immediately shocked and repeatedly asked to exchange experiences with the author.

Shanhe couldn't help but lament whether this life's fate would be a blessing in disguise. Opportunities that ordinary people couldn't imagine were naturally lying in front of him.

"Xiaohe, this is the Oriental Pearl Tower. It was just built the year before last. Across the river is the Pudong New Area. After meeting Teacher Liu, I will take you and your son to the Bund for a walk."

"Aunt Qu, thank you"

"Xiaohe, you, Aunt Qu, don't worry about it, our fate is still there."

"Here we are, let's get off the car. Teacher Liu has already met us at the door." Qu Ling greeted the two father and son to get off the car.

"This is our young genius!" A tall, middle-aged man with half-white hair and elegant temperament came up to him.

"My surname is Liu and my given name is Quanhe. I am the director and editor of the children's popular science section of the Magic City Education TV Station. We have the same name as Little Genius!"

"Hello, Teacher Liu, my surname is Qiu, and my name is Shanhe. You can just call me Xiaohe."

"Okay, very good, much better than I imagined. Let's have a good chat later as friends who have never forgotten the year." Liu Quanhe is a middle-aged man with a very infectious spirit.

After some pleasantries, Liu Quanhe led the group into the building.

"Xiaohe, I also invited one of your peers today. Our column is aimed at the majority of teenagers in Shanghai. We need you to focus on the perspective of teenagers. How about it?"

"Okay, Uncle Liu, I can express my thoughts." Shanhe didn't have any stage fright.

"Very good, that kid has a lot of questions about your masterpiece!"

"Please come in, you two children, please introduce yourselves." Liu Quanhe finished greeting all the guests.

Shan He looked at the handsome and slender young man who came in. Why did he look familiar?

"My name is Hu Ge. I am the host of the children's popular science section of the Magic City Education TV Station. Nice to meet you."

Let me go, isn’t this the one?

It turns out that there are times when the tender ones can squeeze out water!

While Shanhe was stunned, Qiu Jiang coughed and reminded his son.

Shanhe suddenly woke up, "I'm sorry, you look a lot like a classmate of mine. My name is Qiu Shanhe, you can just call me Shanhe."

"Hello, Shanhe. I've finished reading your book and I like it very much. There are a lot of things I haven't heard of before. The comics are unique and the title of the book is also very good. It's another world. It's cool!" I didn't expect that the idol would be very cool when he was a child. Chatty.

"Eh~ Actually, those are very common things in rural areas. Like you, I was very unfamiliar with the fields."

"Your hometown is in the countryside, how could you not be familiar with the fields before?"

"My family is in the county seat, and I rarely go back to my hometown. Even if I go back for a few days, if I don't pay attention to observation and don't invest in life, you won't be able to discover another world."

…

Liu Quanhe kept recording the exchanges between the two teenagers, and added a few words from time to time. He gained a lot. Editing and shooting from the perspective of children is his request for the next popular science documentary.

"Can bats and swallows really fly in the rain? How can fish be raised in rice fields? Is the water deep enough? Can cicada pupae really live in the soil for more than ten years..." Hu Ge, as a teenager who grew up in the city I was constantly curious about rural life and asked questions one after another.

"Bats and swallows can fly at low altitudes in the rain. Before it rains, the air pressure is low, the weather is sultry, and there are a lot of small bugs, so they catch and eat them at low altitudes."

"The water in the rice fields is not deep, so farmers will dig a deeper puddle in a corner of the rice field so that the carp can swim back and forth when they grow up."

"Cicada pupae should live for a long time. When digging holes under trees in rural areas, cicada pupae can often be seen. As long as there are suitable conditions, they can be resurrected."

…

Shanhe slowly told Hu Ge about his life and experiences in the countryside, and Hu Ge listened with great fascination.

In Hu Ge's eyes, the people and things in the countryside are strange, but they are fresh, interesting and exciting.

"I really envy you for being able to spend your holidays in the country every year. Compared with you, my summer vacation was so boring."

"Well, how should I put it? Life in rural areas is still very difficult. The countryside is relatively poor, and the living conditions are very different from those in the city. Farmers are also very hard. They work all year round. If you have the opportunity, you can experience it. I believe you can gain something. A lot." Shanhe told Hu Ge truthfully.

Hu Ge nodded thoughtfully, holding his forehead with his hand and thinking for a while.

"Uncle Liu, when will our program team go to the countryside for filming? Please take me with you then." Hu Ge requested Liu Quanhe.

"You are not allowed to go to school. Besides, it will be very hard and busy for us to go down, so we won't have time to take care of you." Liu Quanhe rejected Hu Ge's request.

"You should keep in touch with Shanhe more. Once we become friends, you can go to his hometown for a few days next summer."

Hu Ge's eyes lit up, "Shanhe, can you tell me your address so I can write to you?"

"Yes, I welcome you to my home if you have the opportunity. I am also very curious about big cities. I am very happy that you can write to me." Shanhe promised Hu Ge. Shanhe was a little excited to be friends with the star from his previous life.

"Then it's agreed, you have to teach me how to write essays in the future, haha." Hu Ge said with a smile.

Two outstanding teenagers can become good friends, and I believe both families will be happy to see it happen.

The time spent talking always goes by quickly. After deciding on the adaptation, Shanhe and his son shook hands with Liu Quanhe and said goodbye.

"Hu Ge, my father and I will leave home tomorrow. Let's chat in the letters." Shanhe had a good impression of the young Hu Ge.

"You're leaving so soon. I also want to invite you to my house to play. Just wait, I'll get something." Hu Ge ran out.

After a while, Hu Ge ran in carrying a brand new camera, "This is for you."

Shanhe looked at the brand new camera in his hand, "How can I have such an expensive thing? No way."

Hu Ge said with a smile: "I bought this with my New Year's money. I think you need it more. You can use it to take pictures of people and scenery. It will be helpful for you to write and draw comics."

"Since Hu Ge sincerely gave you a gift, just accept it, Shanhe. This guy is a little rich man, and the program team is paying him a salary." Liu Quanhe said to Shanhe with a smile.

Shanhe turned to look at his father.

"I don't care about the interactions between you children, but Xiaohe, you have to think carefully about what you want to give Hu Ge in return. The testimony of friendship is mutual." Qiu Jiang looked at the two teenagers and said.

Shanhe nodded and responded: "Then I'll accept it. I will use it to take pictures of rural life and send it to you. Thank you Hu Ge."

"Really, that would be great."

Hu Ge watched Shanhe get into the car and leave, feeling a little reluctant, "Uncle Liu, Shanhe is half a year younger than me. Why do I feel that he is older than me?"

"He is a genius, so he must be different from a normal person like you." Liu Quanhe teased Hu Ge.

"I'm also very powerful, okay? You always praised me before!" Hu Ge said angrily.

"Hahaha, okay, uncle will ask you to film movies from now on."
