Director’s Legend

The new film plans to invest RMB 900 million. Shao Shuaijun and Dream Chasing Company can use RMB 500 million for investment, but still have to reserve RMB 100 million for capital turnover. Therefore, in the end, there is a shortfall of 500 million yuan to invest in other companies.

"Mr. Shao, this script seems to have a lot of selling points. It has revenge, superpowers, justice and evil, and it should be a hit if it is filmed. However, is this investment too big, one hundred million dollars, nine hundred million dollars? Renminbi, there are several companies here that have no total capital of 10 million U.S. dollars. Is this too risky?" The boss of Century Hero knocked on the table, a little nervous.

"Why, Pharaoh, you are a bear, you are willing to pay for Chen Kai's "Promise", but now you can't bear it?" Wang Zhongjun despised Pharaoh, then looked around for a week, "We Huayi Brothers and Mr. Shao have cooperated for many years. If we continue to cooperate, we will invest 50 million yuan in President Shao!"

Wu Kebo of Dengtian Entertainment also said: "I regret not drinking the sweet soup of "Painted Skin" with you. This time I can't fall behind anymore, 30 million, and we will join together."

Shao Shuaijun laughed: "I am confident that this movie will be made wonderful, but you also know that it is impossible to make money without losing money when playing movies. Investment needs to be cautious. There are risks. Now."

"This is inevitable. How can there be a good thing that only makes money without taking risks, we also give out 50 million." Poly Bona's Yu Dong said proudly.

In the end, the financing in the capital was determined to be about 200 million yuan, plus 400 million yuan for chasing dreams. It has successfully attracted an investment of 600 million yuan. After that, Shao Shuaijun went to Hong Kong with his ideas. Lin Jianyue of Media Asia has been plotting for Jiahe. After being robbed by chasing dreams, his personal relationship was almost cut off, but when it comes to making money, Media Asia has no reason to refuse and directly invested 50 million yuan.

Oneworld’s Lin Xiaoming and another Meiya film invested a total of 50 million yuan, raising the total film capital to 700 million. With 700 million, Lionsgate also responded to the investment soon. Invested 28 million US dollars. That is, more than 2 billion, and the film cost of 900 million was successfully achieved.

In mid-July, Summit Entertainment held a press conference in Hollywood, USA. Announced the official launch of Shao Shuaijun’s latest film "The Night Watcher". The movie "Nightman" will be mixed shooting with 3d shooting and imax shooting. The total investment is 150 million US dollars.

"The Chinese director started his journey to Hollywood."" The Hollywood Reporter covered the press conference throughout.

"Give up directing "Twilight Saga: Twilight". Shao Shuaijun chose the superhero mode blockbuster, "Night Watcher" is launched, let us look forward to it together."-film website Scarlet Letter Tuban. Great attention was given.

After the news came back to China, it caused an uproar. Shao Shuaijun's fans naturally celebrated with each other, rushed to tell each other, and posted on major websites and communities to show their congratulations. "People's Daily" made an exception to give a small section to report the news, which is much higher than the specifications of another Sino-US co-produced blockbuster "Kung Fu King" that was set up this year.

Because it was a Sino-US co-production, the review situation was somewhat delayed. Shao Shuaijun was prepared to take advantage of the review time to improve the screenplay and actor script. Although this idea looks pretty cool, it is not easy to fill up the characters and plot. Fortunately, the goal of "Night Watcher" is to compete for next year's summer files, and he still has a lot of time to prepare calmly.

In China, Shao Shuaijun was rarely interviewed by several media.

"From the 500 million cost of "Painted Skin" to the 1.5 billion cost of "The Nightman" (known as US$150 million), the cost has tripled. Do you think you can manage such a large investment? This is also very huge in Hollywood. For you who have never tried to make a film in Hollywood, will it be very stressful?"

Shao Shuaijun confidently said: “The pressure has never been less, but I can’t refrain from trying because of pressure. The size of the investment and where to make the movie are not important. The important thing is that you shoot it well and sell it. Will suffice."

"Then have you considered, in case the movie is not as popular as expected?"

"Any movie has the possibility of losing money. Of course, I have thought that the movie will lose money, but I believe that our investors also believe that "The Night Watcher" will sell well."

"The total investment of "The Night Worth" is 150 million US dollars. Once such a large investment is compensated, it will be a big loss for all investors, but for you, for the dream chaser, it is tantamount to a house collapsed in half. In your opinion, given the current development momentum of dream chasing, shouldn't it be more stable and steady?"

"You are so sure that "The Nightman" will lose money? Anyway, I think it makes a lot of money. At least I used to think that the movies that make money have made money." Shao Shuaijun spread his hands, thinking these media are really ridiculous.

Before the shooting of "Source Code", all the media ridiculed him. As a result, "Source Code" almost broke 100 million U.S. dollars worldwide. Once it was released in Europe, it would be inevitable to break 100 million U.S. dollars. Before the shooting of "Painted Skin", he was not optimistic about him. As a result, "Painted Skin" was 1.4 billion yuan worldwide. Recently, it has been released in Europe. The box office feedback is not bad, at least it can still receive more than 300 million yuan in box office.

Now the filming of "Nightman" has started, and I came to ask him again, what should I do if I lose money!

Although this is his original work, Shao Shuaijun has the confidence and confidence to make it successful. He can make "Painted Skin" succeed, and he can make "The Night Watcher" succeed.

"It won't be long, maybe a year, we will be able to figure out how "Night Watcher" is going. Okay, that's all for today's interview. I have something to do. Let's go ahead."

...

The next day, I was about to go out to the Directors Guild to have tea with a few directors. Shao Shuaijun's cell phone rang and it was a call from home.

After the call was connected, my father’s voice came from inside: "Soldier, if I don’t ask your mother, you won’t tell us?" "The Night Watcher" is right, the cost of more than one billion yuan, so big Production, have you considered it carefully?"

"Dad, isn't I too busy to tell you anymore." Shao Shuaijun is a little bit guilty. He recently only cared about having fun and thinking about the hot world after the movie was released, and forgot to call home.

"If it weren’t for Xiuxiu’s call, we wouldn’t know you’re so capable now and you’re going to make a movie in Hollywood. You’ve indeed achieved results that your parents and mothers dare not even dream of, but you have to remember. You are still young, and you have to think about something before you decide. There are several capitals in dream chasing, and you have all lost. What will you do in the future?"

Shao Shuaijun smiled bitterly: "Dad, I thought about it carefully."

"I'm not looking after you. You are now at a higher level than your parents, and you understand the problems deeper than us. How we say it is for people who are older, and the salt that you can eat is better than the food you have eaten. Lots, look at the latest news about you. Airport reporter microphones, autographs for fans, hotel drunk. Yesterday, there was another one, ranting, blind investment. It is good to have confidence, but you can’t blindly think that everything can succeed ."

"Dad, those are all scribbles written by reporters, they are deliberately discrediting me, what kind of person I am, you and my mom don't know the best?" Shao Shuaijun cried out.

"Dad is not a fool, knowing news and facts are two different things..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
