Director’s Legend

Chapter 108: [I'll cut Hu] Make up

Make a change on the 23rd, the recommendation position next week is not strong, I hope my friends can help me and give some recommendations.

————————————————

"Hero" is raging in North America, which makes Zhang Yimou feel proud of the Chinese people, while "People on the Road" is rampant in China. Spielberg's "World War" began to lack stamina, "People on the Road" remained strong, and again won 13 million in the third week, and the total box office accumulated to 53 million.

Countless media chanted that Shao Shuaijun's comedy era is coming.

First, "Crazy Stone" directed by Shao Shuaijun himself performed a miracle of over 100 million yuan, and then "Crazy Racing", which was written and invested by the screenwriter and investment, hit 150 million yuan. Now the screenwriter's work "People on the Embarrassing Way" is coming on fiercely. Big sales and popularity are inevitable.

Three comedies in two years, plus the "Golden Robbery" that is still being filmed, and four comedies, which occupy 70% of the entire Chinese film comedy market, and Feng's humor does not have such a dominant power. Of these four comedies, only one was directed by Shao Shuaijun himself, but the other three were written and invested by Shao Shuaijun, and naturally belonged to Shao Shuaijun.

"We are very pleased to see that the fifth generation of directors is leading the trend, the sixth generation of directors has begun to emerge temporarily, and the new generation of directors has also appeared such outstanding talents as Shao Shuaijun. The rise of Chinese films is just around the corner. We have reason to believe that In the near future, Chinese films will definitely stand on the world stage and spread China to the world."

During the filming of the crew, Shao Shuaijun picked up a newspaper with gusto. It seemed that "People on the Road" finally showed signs of fatigue in the fourth week. The number of movie viewers and the number of shows dropped drastically, and he is expected to win a box office of about 5 million at most. , Accumulating the total box office to 58 million, surpassing Spielberg's 53 million box office of "World War" and becoming the seventh largest box office in the mainland in 2005.

In the first place, the first is "Crazy Racing" 150 million, followed by "Source Code" 98 million, Li Ming, Zhenzi bullet and other starring "Seven Swords" 83.45 million, followed by "Star Wars Prequel 3: West The Revenge of Sis was 75.54 million, followed by Jay Chou starring in "Initial D" with 63 million, followed by "Operation Smith" with 62 million.

Of course, Chen Kai's so-called 350 million investment blockbuster "The Promise", Cheng Long's latest masterpiece "Myth", the new North American versions of "King Kong" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", and Ning Hao's blockbuster "The Golden Tribulation" "The Case" will all compete in this year's Spring Festival. In Shao Shuaijun's memory, none of these films had a low box office. Although the bad film "Promise" was bad, it also won more than 170 million box office.

This year's Spring Festival stalls are the fiercest competition in history.

In addition, Wang Yixue’s debut work "Dulala's Promotion" was also highly expected by Shao Shuaijun, hoping to achieve better results than "People on the Road".

For the box office, Shao Shuaijun fantasized for a moment and was attracted by a piece of news in the newspaper. Director Li Yu won the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture at the 62nd Venice Film Festival this year with "Brokeback Mountain".

"This year is the Golden Lion Award, next year it will be the Oscar, right? The Chinese's first Oscar best director is really enviable."

Shao Shuaijun admires the gentleman Li Yu, who is also a director who focuses on making movies. The film that I made was a real discussion of my own ideas, not kitsch in Europe and the United States. This alone killed Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai.

"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed, and the time left for me is getting less and less. After "Painted Skin", my speed will accelerate!"

Closing the newspaper, Shao Shuaijun picked up the horn again and shouted: "Is there enough rest? Hurry up and work!"

In September, the time flew quickly. "People on the Road" was released for a month, and it was officially released. The total box office was 58.5 million, which was almost as expected. Shao Shuaijun's studio got a profit of 22 million. The studio paid dividends again, Shao Shuaijun received 12 million, and everyone else received a lot of red envelopes.

However, this will also be the studio’s last movie dividend. After "People on the Road", Shao Shuaijun’s studio has been completely reduced to a production studio and will no longer participate in movie investment.

"People on the Journey" is over and it is selling at the box office. The schedule of the sequel is also on the table, but Xu Zhen did not immediately choose to shoot the sequel.

"A Jun, making a movie is more tiring than making ten TV shows. "People on the Road" makes me exhausted. I really don’t understand how you can hold on to film one film after another. I want It’s breathable. I have discussed with the girl Xiaolong that we are not planning to plan the sequel to "People on the Road" now. Let’s start with some acting and do some light work."

On the phone Xu Ceng had obviously thought about it.

Shao Shuaijun smiled: "Old Xu, this is in line with my opinion. "People on the Road" has just ended. After all, it is a small number of people who enter the cinema to watch. After DVD and piracy become popular, train for two to three years. , The volume of the market is getting bigger and bigger. At that time, the sequel will be filmed to maximize the benefits. Moreover, now neither the Shao Shuaijun studio nor the Dengtian Shuaijun have a separate channel and need to be controlled by others. When I make the company independent , We really become the boss ourselves, that's when we invest heavily, haha."

"I think so, haha."

Hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun smiled. The miracle of the sequel "Thailand" is to hold it firmly in your hand and not let others share the cake. Companies and movies nowadays are all small things, and it is necessary to let others take advantage. How can I bear with my children to trap the wolf? If you want to have your own channels and paths, you need to consolidate step by step.

And now, a new path appeared in front of Shao Shuaijun.

Wanda is about to enter the national cinema system.

This is a huge opportunity. When Shao Shuaijun heard the news, he immediately called for Li Xiuxiu and only said one thing. In any case, get involved. For this reason, the North American Twilight Company did not hesitate to sell the publishing rights of the "Twilight" series of novels in advance, cashed in 30 million US dollars, ready to invest in Wanda Cinemas.

Before Wanda negotiated cooperation, Shao Shuaijun handed over the crew to Qian Yongqiang to be in charge of the crew and came to Hong Kong quietly. The contact between Li Xiuxiu and Zou Daheng has been progressing slowly. Shao Shuaijun was ignited by Wanda Cinemas, and he couldn't wait to slow down with Jiahe.

This time I came here to reach an intention. If Zou Daheng is willing to sell, he can talk slowly. If Daheng Zou is unwilling, Shao Shuaijun will immediately give up and concentrate on participating in Wanda Cinemas.

Li Xiuxiu was in Hong Kong and met with Shao Shuaijun at the airport.

"Sister Xiuxiu, this time has been hard, come and hug one as a thank you."

Shao Shuaijun is also a public figure now. "Source Code" has made him familiar with the public. There are also a large number of fans in Hong Kong. If he is recognized by the star chasers, it will be very troublesome and cause others to speculate. Follow him. The purpose of Hong Kong. He was here to intercept Hu Jiahe, so he naturally had to dress up in disguise, wearing a peaked cap, toad mirror, and the recently popular large T-shirt. He was quite hip-hop.

"Oh, which bad boy."

Li Xiuxiu avoided the embrace of Shao Shuaijun, laughing non-stop.
