Director’s Legend

The China Youth Pioneer Directors League is a joint-stock company. Dreaming Entertainment invests 20 million yuan, occupying 50% of the shares, and the rest is shared by several other companies. This company is not for the purpose of making profit. He was an idea by Shao Shuaijun. He felt that the younger generation of directors were not working hard. Shao Shuaijun thought that after making money in "Source Code", he also learned from Liu Dehua’s new Asian star guide and launched A plan to support mainland directors.

However, some unpleasant things happened in the division of "Source Code", and Shao Shuaijun's contacts were not enough at the time, so this matter was put aside. It was not mentioned again until after the establishment of the Dream Entertainment Company. After several discussions one after another, it was finally decided to establish the Youth Directors Union and invited several large companies to operate together.

After the announcement of the three plans, the leaders and the bosses went to the box after taking photos. Shao Shuaijun returned to the rostrum and was interviewed by reporters with the creators of "33 Days of Broken Relationship". This is the theme of today.

Since Shao Shuaijun had let go before, no reporter dared to ask about the shady box office, and the artistic debate about the movie was rarely mentioned. All focused on the lace news of the movie.

A reporter asked why it is necessary to look for young actors to take on the big responsibility instead of starring.

Shao Shuaijun replied: "The big production of "Painted Skin" has exhausted me, and I have to coordinate in all aspects, especially the artist's schedule, which requires repeated scrutiny, which consumes a lot of energy. My shooting "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is actually for myself. Relax, Liu Shishi, Wen Zhang, Yang Ying, and Chen Xi are all students who have not graduated yet. I scold them whenever I want. I think it’s a pleasure to make a movie at this time, haha. "

So a reporter asked if Shao Shuaijun was a tyrant on the set. Liu Shishi laughed and said: "The director is actually a very gentle person. As long as you finish shooting according to what he said, he usually doesn't curse. Of course, if you make a mistake and get caught, the director has a The nickname is the subwoofer, which can make you ashamed of cursing."

Yang Ying also said: "Sometimes the director is obviously wrong. We have to criticize ourselves and praise the director for his wiseness. You just need to find the tricks to deal with him, follow his words, and then flatter yourselves, and everything will be fine, OK. "

"Oh, let me tell you this. I am not a tyrant on the set at all, but a faint on the set." Shao Shuaijun saw that everyone was ruthlessly revealing his own bottom, and felt that he could stop it, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Ying like a pistol. "Yang Ying, what is one plus one?"

Yang Ying said immediately: "Two."

"Boom!" Shao Shuaijun pretended to fire, and then blew his fingers, "You know too much."

After that, everyone didn't respond and looked at him blankly, not understanding what he was doing. Shao Shuaijun's old face blushed and coughed and said, "This is a joke, um, okay, let's continue the interview." It seemed that he wanted to play humor, but he couldn't grasp the atmosphere and fell into the cold.

"Director Shao, the joke just now is really funny." A reporter gave a perfunctory flattery. "Painted Skin has been confirmed to meet with the audience in the summer file. Will it be released simultaneously in North America this time?"

"Possibly, the specifics are still being discussed. We have talked to Lionsgate several times. If we reach an agreement on the cost and share, it will be released simultaneously in North America."

"So, is there any new film plan for Director Shao after "33 Days of Broken Relationship"?"

"I don't know." Shao Shuaijun didn't tell the truth. Although he intends to direct a film in the United States, there are too many variables. After all, the United States is different from China. He is a foreigner in the United States. If someone else invests and asks him to shoot, it would be simpler. Starting a company to invest in a film by himself will cause more trouble.

...

The celebration feast quietly ended while Shao Shuaijun was drunk.

If you talk about the previous controversy, some people would still be ignorant of praise and bombard Shao Shuaijun. However, after the two major killers of Miaowang and the Youth Directors League were sacrificed, the sudden flameout against Shao Shuaijun was surprisingly good. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that once Mtime.com takes shape, once the Youth Directors League is formed, and then offends Shao Shuaijun, it will be more than worthwhile.

Mtime is a website in name, but it is obviously to integrate film information and cooperate with the Film Bureau. After it is put into operation, the guiding role of the film market is certainly not small. On the surface, what Shao Shuaijun said is to let netizens evaluate their opinions, but there are too many ways to influence the film.

For example, deliberately delaying the time for a movie to log on to a website, such as deliberately guiding comments that are not conducive to a movie, or a website blocking a certain movie, are all Chi Guoguo's great sticks. As a filmmaker, everyone knows that the reputation of a movie is very important, and the publicity during the screening period is also very important.

Mtime.com doesn't need any big moves. If you are stuck for two or three days, it can make you feel distressed.

If it does not cooperate with the film bureau and theaters, Mtime will not have such an effect. Unfortunately, Shao Shuaijun is the first to cooperate with the film bureau and cooperate with major theaters to spread the influence of Mtime.com. No one can stop it. Some filmmakers with foresight naturally retreated.

The Young Directors’ League is even more sharp. I would like to ask which director of the older generation does not have three or five apprentices. These apprentices all learn to direct, but they rarely have the opportunity to make movies. As soon as the Youth Directors League came out, these people were not allowed to boil, and it was too late to cheat on Shao Shuaijun.

As a result, the controversy that was originally raging, even the "People's Daily" was alarmed, as soon as the celebration banquet organized by Dream Chasing Company came out, it was collectively turned off within a few days. Originally, few of these filmmakers are really paying attention to issues, but they just show up to expand their reputation, and there is no offending of a rising star.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, Shao Shuaijun has become the climate.

Therefore, the controversy to support Shao Shuaijun's faction won a big victory. Except for a few old stubborn ones who still resisted, they all changed their words to support the commercialization of platoon films and the development of commercial films.

"The development of commercial films is a breakthrough for domestic films. I believe that our Chinese films will blossom in the future." Zhang Jian changed his tone in an interview.

"I am very pleased to see that the mainland film market is becoming more and more open. "33 Days of Broken Love" has undoubtedly made a good start. I hope that the Young Directors League can take care of Hong Kong. We also have many outstanding young directors in Hong Kong." Liu Zhenwei also changed His films have been released on the mainland in recent years and have achieved good box office. After seeing Shao Shuaijun's current influence, he tried to defuse his previous unfriendly attitude.

...

Shao Shuaijun, who is testing time.com, looked at the newspaper that Wang Cuicui brought, and sighed softly: "What is art? What is business? Box office theory is the wrong criterion, and the so-called art theory is also wrong. Although I use Using some means to suppress these people, but changing their deep-rooted ideas, there is still a long way to go. I hope that, as Zhang Jian said, Chinese films will flourish in the future, and literary and commercial films will flourish."
