Director’s Legend

At the beginning of 2008, the number one on the global movie box office rankings was still "Titanic" directed by "The King of the World" James Cameron. It was released in 1997, and the global box office was 2.185.4 billion US dollars. It was followed by Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", which was released in 2003 and cost $1.1191 billion worldwide, which is more than a full billion dollars.

In the next few parts, the gap is very small. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin", "Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Crisis", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", "The Lion King", "Harry. "Porter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers" ranked third to ninth respectively.

Ranked tenth is the animated film "Finding Nemo" co-directed by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkridge, which was released in 3003 and cost 921.4 million dollars worldwide.

"Inception" has only been in theaters for two and a half weeks, with more than 500 million US dollars worldwide, and countless people are looking at it, looking forward to whether it can reach the top ten in the global box office. With the reputation and box office endurance of Inception, many experts predict that there is such a hope, but no one is sure whether it can be achieved.

The movies that can hit the global box office list are either series movies, or adaptations of best-selling novels, or big productions that have been sharpened in a few years. "Inception" has no original foundation, two no series of film bases, three no big cycle production, just an original film made in less than half a year.

With such a foundation, the impact of the global box office has naturally attracted widespread attention. Even if the global box office shock does not enter, the top ten annual box office will definitely lock a seat.

The scene of the interview was very lively, but Shao Shuaijun and others were drinking tea and chatting upstairs. They were going to go down on time at nine o'clock. This time, for the establishment of the New Electronic Technology Research Institute, Shao Shuaijun specially invited many senior officials and industry seniors, such as the deputy directors of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the directors of the film bureau, the bosses of various film companies, Beijing City Government officials, and a bunch of directors and producers.

"Mr. Shao, you are proud of the spring breeze, and we will regret it." Yu Dong of Poly Bona smiled bitterly.

"It's tears if you talk too much." Wang Zhongjun also smiled bitterly.

Zhang Hongsen laughed and said: "Human fate is destined, sometimes in fate, there is no time to force it, haha! I didn't dare to ask you to invest in the first place, but now I can only stare at it. I still don't have enough courage. You see Xiao Shao’s courage, one after another, is one after another. What I said when I used satellites, how bold people are, how productive the land is, there is no high output without high risk."

Deputy Director Tong smiled and shook his head: "Lao Zhang, you are idealistic, you still have to pursue peace and stability in business. A genius like Shao Shuaijun can't make one in ten years."

Shao Shuaijun hurriedly waved his hand: "Director Tong, this is shame for me, I just have good luck."

"Hey, this can't be done with good luck. Without your director's talent, there would be no foundation for dream-catching. Your "Inception" seems to be able to exceed 800 million worldwide box office. It's more than six billion yuan, and at least two or three billion yuan is divided up? With these two or three billion yuan, chasing dreams for financing is a financing line of tens of billions. It is equivalent to making a movie, in exchange for it. There are several Dream Chasing Entertainment Groups. Can ordinary people have this kind of luck?" Minister Cai, the propaganda minister and deputy mayor of Beijing, who is also the father of reporter Cai Xiaoyun, gave his thumbs up.

Talking and laughing, soon it was nine o'clock, and Shao Shuaijun went down for an interview first. He prepared two hours of interview time, and then officially announced the establishment of the New Electrotechnical Research Institute at 11 o'clock.

When we got downstairs, there was a flash frenzy.

"Guide Shao!"

"Guide Shao!"

Shao Shuaijun, under the **** of his assistant, went to the rostrum in the hall, blocked the glare flash, and then picked up the microphone: "Hello everyone, welcome friends from the media, can you turn off the flash, your eyes are stinging? I don’t have enough time. Two hours of interview time should be enough, right?"

"Director Shao, can't we add another two hours? We can still have lunch for us." A reporter below shouted.

Shao Shuaijun raised his eyes and saw that he was a reporter from Time.com. He smiled and replied: "So many people, you want to be poor, right?"

"Teacher Shao, you dropped a small piece from the box office of Inception. It will be enough for us to eat for a lifetime." Another reporter shouted.

"You're not a beauty, I'm still responsible for supporting you for the rest of your life?" Shao Shuaijun despised, and then waved his hand. "It's okay, don't make trouble, everyone hurry up, one question for one person, you delay time, I am definitely welcome. I feel that Your problem is definitely not easy to deal with. It is only for a while to hide."

After chaos for a while, the interview officially began, and the on-site host came to ask questions one by one.

First of all, the first one is naturally a reporter who has a good relationship with dream chasing. The gold medal reporter Cai Xiaoyun of the "Beijing Entertainment Letter": "Director Shao, I would like to ask, the theme of "Inception" is the dream world. Are you Zeng Fascinated by dreams you have had? Has your perception of dreams changed since you started making movies? How do you view dreams?"

"Wow, are these three questions?" Shao Shuaijun smiled, "When I was very young, dreams always made me feel mysterious and incredible. I can't think of specific scenes now, but dreams always give me infinite imagination. Freedom, this is also the fascinating thing about dreams. I personally think that the most interesting concept about dreams and this movie is that when people fall asleep, they can create the whole world in the subconscious, but they don’t know it personally. There are many concepts about the subconscious mind, especially the creative subconscious mind, which has always made me fascinated. I am a director to create dreams."

The second reporter was a beautiful blonde woman from a foreign country and asked: "The concept in this movie is very abstract. Have you spent a long time communicating with the actors, especially Leonardo? For example, writing and drawing on a piece of paper. What?"

"That is certain. Leo's role is the first to be determined, and he has almost harsh requirements for the authenticity of the character. The truth of the character's language must be based on the truth of emotion. So we spent a lot of time. Used for a long time to discuss the plot and the growth of the role, we often talk about it during the break. That is the driving force of the whole movie, and it also allows him to use his true emotions as a great actor and a charming movie star The basis for leading the audience into the dream world."

The third reporter was a black man and asked: "This is your second original production. What do you think is different from the previous one?"

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "I don't know how to define the quality and difference of my own movies. The movies I shoot are all I want to express. Some I express, some I fail to express, anyway All of them gave me a deep feeling and insight. What are the differences between them..." (To be continued.
