Director’s Legend

Chapter 268: [500 days to complete]

"Susan Collins, "The Hunger Games" was finally found!" Shao Shuaijun was overjoyed. He had been looking forward to this novel for a long time. Like the "Twilight" series, "The Hunger Games" has also been adapted into a series of movies, which is popular all over the world. The difference is that "The Hunger Games" was first adapted into a movie, which made the novel popular.

Shao Shuaijun has never studied The Hunger Games, and even the original author doesn't know who it is, so he has no clue to create "The Hunger Games" and can only wait slowly. Finally, this "Hunger Games" is out.

With excitement, Shao Shuaijun called Mitchell.

"Hey, Shao, what's the matter at this late hour?"

"Mitchell, I saw a good book on Amazon called "The Hunger Games". Search for it yourself. Then buy the film adaptation rights. I may want to shoot this movie in the future. The sooner I act, the better. I don’t want to be snatched away."

"This book is very good? The film adaptation is promising?"

"Of course, hurry up!"

Mitchell was a qualified businessman. He contacted Susan Collins early the next morning and after some bargaining, he bought the right to adapt the film and the sequel to The Hunger Games. When the contract was signed, Mitchell brought a set of "The Hunger Games" to Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun knew that another gold mine had entered his pocket.

"Mitchell, this will be the next "Twilight" series, even more profitable than "Twilight"! This will be our Summit Entertainment, in the United States. In Hollywood, the guarantee of becoming an entertainment giant!"

"Then let's wait and see, haha."

...

After harvesting "The Hunger Games", Shao Shuaijun continued to shoot the movie with a happy mood. Sometimes when he was in a bad mood, he didn't do anything smoothly, and when he was in a good mood, everything went smoothly. With this momentum, even Scarlett, the heroine with poor acting skills, perfectly meets Shao Shuaijun's requirements.

"Scarlett. This shot performed well. Let's take a break and now let's move on to the next set. Gordon and Geoffrey prepare." Shao Shuaijun held the trumpet and drank tea leisurely. This is Yuqian Longjing tea specially brought from China, as opposed to coffee. It is the taste of tea to Shao Shuaijun.

Scarlett finished removing her makeup. Just walked aside. Went to chat with a few actresses. Then when I started shooting here, I heard loud laughter from there, which disturbed the actor's state.

Shao Shuaijun stared. He shouted with a loudspeaker: "You guys, smile and stay away, don't disturb me in filming!"

"Haha, haha." Several women laughed terribly, and pointed here.

"What are you laughing laughing!"

The little girl Chloe Moretz, who plays Tom’s sister, made a grimace and said loudly, "We are laughing at a playboy."

"What **** dude, walk me away."

"Yes, that's a **** dude."

"Hahahaha." Scarlett and others laughed straight up.

Shao Shuaijun felt that something was wrong and found that several employees were also snickering. He frowned and asked, "You are all laughing at me? Is there anything I am doing?"

"Director, you should look in the mirror." An elderly staff member said kindly.

To come to the mirror, Shao Shuaijun finally knew why others were laughing. The two shiny red lips on his face and neck were so vivid. Putting down the mirror, Shao Shuaijun raised his eyes to look at Scarlett, don't ask, Shao Shuaijun just acted for her and had a short kiss scene.

She is the only one who can unknowingly leave a lipstick mark on Shao Shuaijun's face.

"Laugh, just laugh, laugh to your heart's content, what a big deal." Shao Shuaijun spread his hands and said nothing, washing off the lipstick mark on his face, as if there was nothing wrong with him, and continued to direct the show.

He didn't get angry and had a totally indifferent attitude that made Scarlett restless. Looking at Scarlett’s appearance, Shao Shuaijun smiled, and did the shooting request tepidly. If the shot is not good, he will retake the shot. If the shot is good, it will pass. Everything is like the calm before the storm.

At least for Scarlett, it was a calmer calmer than before the storm.

Shao Shuaijun is really going to get angry. Taking Scarlett's cheeks, he doesn't care at all, but the unknown is terrible. When you are ready to die, death does not suffer, but you wait and wait for death, knowing that death will definitely come, this kind of suffering is unusual.

The current tactic is the tactic implemented by Shao Shuaijun, and the effect is surprisingly good against the overactive Scarlett.

"Fight with me, tsk tsk, you are still a little tender."

Hiding behind the monitor, Shao Shuaijun smiled yinly.

After the filming was finished, Scarlett finally couldn't help it, and found Shao Shuaijun: "Director, director, I was wrong, please use any punishment. I promise that I will never make this kind of joke again. The Chinese are very strict, I know, ok?"

Raising his eyelids, Shao Shuaijun did not continue to be embarrassed, but he was unavoidable: "I surrendered so soon. I haven't used many methods yet. Forget it, it's still sincere to see you admit your mistakes. Let's shoot tomorrow Your scene, if you can complete ten sets of shots in one day, you make a joke of me and just expose it like this. If you can’t, you know, it’s definitely more uncomfortable than today.

"I promise to complete the task!"

"Deal."

The second day's footage was shot in a bar. Telling Tom and Summer drinking in a bar, a man came to strike up a conversation, and then had an argument with Tom, a very funny section. For this role, Shao Shuaijun deliberately brought Mitchell Bruce, the general manager of Summit Entertainment, to him. He felt that Mitchell had the potential of such a masculine man.

"Mitchell, don't be restrictive in the next shot, just like how you usually strike up a conversation in a bar, be natural."

Mitchell was black and whispered, "I never go to a bar!"

"Come on, your wife is not here, so why cover up. Props, lighting, and photography are all ready, let's start!"

Scarlett and Gordon are drinking at the bar. After reading the lines, Mitchell sat over with a glass of wine and looked at Scarlett: "Oh, how are you?"

Gordon looked stupidly, Scarlett reluctantly said: "It's okay."

"Do you live near here?"

"Yes, not far."

"I haven't seen you here."

"You are not very observant."

Mitchell laughed: "It's funny, you're funny."

Scarlett's face showed impatience.

"I invite you to a bar."

"No, thanks."

Gordon wanted to say something beside him, but he didn't say it. From here, he could show it. Gordon is still a little cowardly.

Mitchell looked at Tom contemptuously: "Are you with this person?"

Gordon said: "I am Tom."

Mitchell said contemptuously: "Whatever (what's your name)." Then he said to Scarlett: "Hurry up. Just a drink. What do you drink?"

"I said no, thank you."

"Seriously, for this guy?"

Tom was not very brave about Mitchell's provocation. Then Scarlett rushed and said: "Man. Please be polite. I am flattered, but I am not interested. You go away and don't bother us?"

Mitchell's smile became stiff. Then he looked at Gordon fiercely: "The United States is a free country." The subtext of this sentence is that he can pursue anyone, and it has another meaning, he just wants to pursue Summer in front of Tom. The meaning of provocation is strong.

Gordon wanted to stare at Mitchell, but was soon defeated, relying on drinking to conceal his cowardice.

After staring at Gordon, Mitchell turned and left, then said: "I can't believe this man is your boyfriend, haha."

Shao Shuaijun shouted: "Ka! Perfect, I'll just say Mitchell, you are born to be a flowery, arrogant and domineering person. The performance is so perfect, it is just like instinct!"

Mitchell was not at all joyful, and continued to black face: "I repeat, I'm not this kind of person, I'm just an acting school."

"Come on, the explanation is to cover up, come on, let's go to the next set of shots, Gordon, wait a moment for you and Mitchell to punch their fists here, Scarlett, the camera will use your cover to cover up the fight, and Mitchell You stagger a bit, and when Gordon’s fist is brushed from here, you pretend to fall down. You are all clear, the props, lighting, photography, and group performance are all in place! Go!"

Tom, played by Gordon, couldn't bear to be ridiculed so much, and finally gathered up the courage to punch Mitchell. Then he wanted to pretend to smile at Summer and act more manly. However, before he spoke, Mitchell who fell to the ground would knock him down with a punch.

The filming went well, but Mitchell, who was praised by Shao Shuaijun, did not seem excited at all. He also spent the money for a dinner in an attempt to make everyone understand that he is good at acting rather than familiar...

When mid-April came and the last shot was over, "500 Days with Summer" came to an end.

It was originally a simple movie, with no special effects and no action scenes. Even the scenes consisted of only a few houses and parks. The shooting was very fast.

After shouting "Finish", Shao Shuaijun looked at the jubilant crowd and picked up the horn to signal everyone to be quiet. With one hand behind his back, he had something to say: "Every time a play is completed, there will be an inexplicable excitement sentimental. , A crew is like a big family. In this more than a month, we talked and laughed together, studied together, and worked hard for a goal together. I want to say thank you to everyone. Your excellent work made the filming so Smoothly, the lens will become perfect."

"I want to thank the photographer, the prop artist, the lighting engineer, the sound engineer, and so on. You are behind the scenes. Half of the film's credit belongs to you. The remaining half belongs to the actors and to Geoffrey A. Lund, Clark Gregg, Patricia Belcher, Rachel Boston, Minka Kelly, Chloe Moretz, Matthew Gray Gubler, etc., also belong to Joseph Gao. Den Levitt and Scarlett Johansson."

Everyone shouted: "The same belongs to you, director!"

Shao Shuaijun put down the horn, then walked into the crowd and looked at Scarlett: "Scarlett, I always have a headache for you. In the entire crew, you are the only person who ignores my authority. But I still want to thank you. , Added infinite joy to the crew, so, this, dedicated to you!"

After speaking, Shao Shuaijun suddenly stretched out his hand behind his back, a bottle of champagne that had been loosened in his hand. It shook abruptly, then pulled out the stopper, facing Scarlett Johansson, spouting champagne like a fountain. It was mid-April, and the weather was getting hotter. Scarlett was wearing a single shirt.

Unprepared, Scarlett screamed, and then she got wet and outlined her perfect figure. Of course, his face was embarrassed, his hair was wet with champagne and stuck to his face.

"Hahahahahaha!" Shao Shuaijun carried an empty bottle and ran away, "Scarlett, this is my revenge for your atrocities for more than a month!"

"Ah! I'm going to kill you, China Shao!" Scarlett yelled and grabbed a bottle of champagne from the table. These were all prepared long ago. Then he chased Shao Shuaijun's man crew.

"Just your short legs, let's talk after me!" Shao Shuaijun relentlessly satirized.

Gordon also yelled: "Guys, what are you waiting for, let's get on together!"

For a time, champagne mixed with sweat, and the lipstick was the same color as the foundation.

Of course, the photographer's plea was also mixed in it: "Ouch, be careful, don't spill it on my camera! Ouch, you pay attention to me, you will be responsible if it gets damaged!"

Then, the crew of "500 Days with Summer" was disbanded, parting in laughter and reluctant to give up in joy. Shao Shuaijun is full of champagne, and he personally sends away every cast and crew who is full of wine and food. Then take a bath and sleep to welcome the new day. When other people's tasks are over, he will also participate in the editing and production of the later period.

After a week, Shao Shuaijun edited "500 Days with Summer" and handed it to Mitchell for follow-up production and publicity. Shao Shuaijun returned to China. It's the beginning of May, and the shadow of summer has come, and in one month's time, he will be 22 years old.

For this birthday, he has to plan carefully, not for celebrating his birthday, but for proposing marriage. Then I took Li Xiuxiu to travel around the countries once in this summer vacation. Of course, before that, he still needs to deal with the various reports and documents accumulated by the company.

The company's recent expenditures are relatively large, and Shao Shuaijun's final decision is needed.

This includes, last year, Shao Shuaijun confessed the acquisition and development of games. The few games that Shao Shuaijun paid most attention to were finally won through various means. Among them, 10 million U.S. dollars, wholly acquired Japanese ot-games company in the United States, this company is developing lol "League of Legends."

The other amount is US$12 million, and the wholly-owned acquisition of South Korea’s smi le-gate company, which has just developed cf "Cross Fire". At the same time, it also purchased part of the copyright of "Crossing Fire" in the hands of South Korean neowiz-games company for US$4 million. In this way, cf has completely fallen into the hands of Dream Entertainment.

Another large acquisition is the acquisition of South Korean neople company for US$100 million. The work of this company is dnf "Dungeon and Warrior". However, it was developed in 2005 and has become popular in South Korea, so the acquisition is a lot of trouble and the price is high.

Originally, these games should have fallen into the hands of Penguin in 2008, but with Shao Shuaijun, Penguin was unlucky, and the three old hens that lay eggs flew. And under the Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, there is another company with unlimited future, Dream Chasing Game Company.
