Director’s Legend

The Olympics is getting closer, and the country is full of sports. Shao Shuaijun is busy dealing with the company's affairs this May Day, and he has to accept an interview with "High-end Interview" in the middle. This program can be said to be one of the most high-end CCTV talk shows. The interviewees are all political celebrities and cutting-edge figures in various industries.

Shao Shuaijun rarely appears on TV. So far, he has only appeared on Sunshine TV’s "Interview with Yang Lan", Mtime’s "Celebrity Face to Face", "Movie Signal" jointly run by Sohu.com and "Beijing Entertainment News", and CCTV’s "News" "Liancasting" and "Economic Half an Hour" may even include several talk shows in the United States.

In addition, Shao Shuaijun can only be seen in press conferences, media and magazine interviews.

"High-end Interview" wants to interview him, Shao Shuaijun is naturally not easy to refuse, and being able to appear on this show is an affirmation of his success. The audience for the program is high-level and high-quality people, such as intellectuals, experts, scholars and fans of international current affairs.

Although the program was too professional and the ratings were not increased, the CCTV reform program was eventually stopped, but it was still the most authoritative program of that era. Just from the host Shui Yijun’s interview with more than 70 world leaders, we can see the influence of the program.

As early as April, Shui Yijun personally sent an invitation letter to interview Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun was shooting a movie in the United States at the time, and he agreed to be interviewed after returning to China in May. It was not until this Labor Day that I took time and sat in the interview hall.

On May 2, the interview began.

Arriving at the scene, Shui Yijun has been waiting for a long time: "Director Shao, welcome, I am glad to be able to meet you face to face and chat."

"me too."

As soon as he entered the door, the camera started shooting. Shao Shuaijun had no expression on his face. Under the leadership of Shui Yijun and the staff, he sat in a chair, and the staff came over to put on a microphone for him.

After correcting the focus of the camera, everything was prepared. Shui Yijun held the interview draft in one hand and opened the speech: "Before the interview begins, I have to mention that you were born in 1986 and only 22 years old this year. You are so young and you have gained a career. How do you feel about the great success of Shanghai, tell us about it?"

Shao Shuaijun is very formal, with a suit and leather shoes, his hair is meticulously combed, and he wore a rare red tie, looking handsome. I squeezed a little smile and said: "I graduated from high school at the age of 17 and went to Hengdian. Before that, I had never thought that one day I would gain so much. I just thought about finding opportunities to act while learning about directorship. Also be a director. When you have some gains, you will ask for more to realize bigger dreams."

"What kind of dream is a bigger dream?"

"A bigger dream than being a director is of course to be an excellent director."

"Is it a famous director who is bigger than a good director?"

"you can say so."

Shui Yijun glanced at the interview manuscript: "Since you made a movie, you have been shrouded in the halo of miracles. Basically all of your movies have been selling well, and the shooting speed is also very fast. With the addition of screenwriters, there will be more. You How do you view your talents?"

"It's difficult to define talent. We know that Fang Zhongyong was talented in ancient times, and Fang Zhongyong was talented. He could write poetry when he was a child, but when he grows up, he will dazzle everyone. Why is he fascinated by everyone? There is no follow-up study and hard work. Didn’t Edison say that genius is one percent inspiration, plus ninety-nine percent perspiration. A person’s talent is also composed of this, a little talent plus a lot of hard work. "

"Do you consider yourself a hardworking person? Many people think that you are gifted to have all of this?"

"I never deny that I have a little more talent than others, and I have a lot of inspiration in my mind. But this is like a dream. Is the dream wonderful and beyond imagination? Why can some people use these Dreams become his movies, and some other people can only be regarded as troubles? Because when some people complain, others are taking action. Many people have seen my success, but have not seen my contribution."

"What kind of pay?"

"As far as filmmaking is concerned, the director is definitely the hardest person. The audience only needs to spend a movie ticket, or even sometimes only an internet fee, to enjoy the wonderful two hours, and then aftertaste It’s a long, long time. But for the director, you first need to find the subject matter, then edit the script, divide the shots, look for investment, review the project, prepare the crew, and select roles. All these tedious tasks are in private, usually more than a month. Intensive preparations, who can see the hard work?"

"It's really hard, it's not known to outsiders."

"The crew is set up. You have to start directing the show and explain the shots to the actors. Then the actors and staff will finish work. The director has to check the copy and prepare for the next day's reshoot. Like I was filming "Inception" "At the time, the director team was the one who got up the latest to go to bed every day. Three hours of sleep a day, which lasted for more than three months, was very traumatic. Of course, some people may ask, why don’t you take a break? When the crew starts to move, they can’t stop, because if you take a day off, you will have to spend tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. How much wasted is counted in the cost, just like the cameras we rented for a day. It’s all tens of thousands of dollars in rental costs, as well as props, venues, labor, etc. All costs, forcing you to complete the most things in the fastest time, only the two hours that the movie brings to the audience enjoy."

...

The interview on the 2nd will be broadcast on CCTV's prime time at 8 o'clock on Sunday night on the 4th. In the CCTV news that day, this message was broadcast: "International director Shao Shuaijun on the 4th will be a guest in "High-end Interview", talk about life dreams, welcome to watch."

When it was broadcast, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu had just finished eating at home and sat on the sofa together, hugging and watching TV.

"He is the youngest international director. His films have won the top ten global box office results. He is a leader in the entertainment industry and a leader in the Internet field. He has his own multinational company. He is a director and an entrepreneur. His films lead the trend of the times, and his company’s stock has doubled 22 times since it went public."

On TV, there were screens of Shao Shuaijun's guiding play, interviews, etc., and then switched to the film: "Shao Shuaijun, "High-end Interview" will take you to talk about your dreams with him."

Shui Yijun appeared in the screen: "Hello everyone, audience friends, welcome to the "High-end Interview", this issue is interviewed by the great director Shao Shuaijun. About Shao Shuaijun, I think many people have heard of him, and started filming at the age of 18. In more than four years, he has brought us many wonderful movies. I think, the director of the same generation as Shao Shuaijun is depressed, because he can always take all the honors on his head and take himself His name is engraved in movie history. From "33 Days of Broken Love" to "Painted Skin" to "Inception", the box office of Chinese movies has been refreshed and maintained by him time and time again. Throughout commercial movies, Shao Shuaijun is a well-deserved king. Now, let us walk into Shao Shuaijun’s movie kingdom."

At the end of the movie, I entered the interview, when Shao Shuaijun talked about the hard work of filming. Li Xiuxiu asked distressedly: "A Jun, filming is so tired, can't you take a good rest? Just be with me."

Shao Shuaijun hugged Li Xiuxiu in his arms and kissed her forehead: "After two years, I have finished shooting all the movies I was anxious to shoot, so I just relax. Now that many movies are not filmed, I feel regretful in my heart."

"Listen to you, but you must take good care of your body. Alas, I don't want to be a general manager anymore. I really want to be by your side, take care of you, and cook for you every day instead of eating the food in the restaurant."

"When Dreaming Entertainment stabilizes, you can work online, so you can follow me where I go to make a movie, right?"

"Well, I will also be a director in the future, and I will be an assistant director for you. What do you think?"

"Do you know how to make movies, do you know what a shot is?"

"Hey, hey, you underestimate me!"

While the two were having fun, "High-end Interview" continued, and the topic of talent and diligence ended. Shui Yijun asked: "As a director, you are very successful, as the boss of the company, you are also very successful. Dreaming Entertainment Group, now It is a very diversified group company, involved in the entertainment industry and the Internet industry. How do you plan to pursue your dream layout?"

Shao Shuaijun laughed and said: "Our country’s entertainment industry started relatively late, but we have such a huge population base, which is an advantage that no country or region has. The national economy is developing rapidly, and people’s material life quality has improved. It is inevitable to begin to seek the quality of spiritual life. On this basis, the prosperity of the entertainment industry is predictable, and the pursuit of dreams is to cover all areas of the industry and provide the best entertainment products. This is also what we advocate. With the layout of the entertainment industry chain, we started late, so only by gathering all our strengths can we stand out, face more problems and not shake ourselves."

"Can you understand it from the anti-risk aspect?"

"It can be said that a listed company can only ensure the stability of the company if it has more profitable projects. If you simply invest in movies, the risk is too great. After all, we don't know whether a movie will make a profit. But you did In the industry chain, from production and investment to downstream screenings and peripherals, such an omni-channel sales can minimize risks."

"How do you think about investing in the Internet?"

"The development of the Internet is obvious to all, and with the pace of development, it has become more and more intersecting with the entertainment industry. Nowadays, many entertainment companies have begun to develop on the Internet, and Internet companies have also begun to get involved in the entertainment field. This is one thing. To create a pan-entertainment industry chain, the Internet is an indispensable component."

"The development of Mtime.com has only been over two years. Relying on Mtime YY and many websites under Mtime.com, it has surpassed more early-rise Internet companies. How did you do it?"

"The vision is a little bit ahead, and the focus is more on people's livelihood needs. This is my understanding of being an Internet company."

"In such an entertainment environment in China, what are the aspects that need to be improved and perfected, such as film review, etc."

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "The current censorship system has many irregularities. Some are stricter and some are looser. For example, we do not have a film classification system, and some excellent films may be violent, **** and human. It’s a pity that it can’t pass the review and release. Another thing is that the state’s guidance to the entertainment industry is lacking. It is not possible to simply pass the review to avoid possible problems. The industry participants and audiences should be guided. Now After many children grow up, we will see such bad habits. Why? Because they are exposed to different things. If they see more fighting and killing, they must be violent. It will definitely be distorted. If you watch too many programs of the kind of moaning without a disease, you will probably learn to moan without a disease."

"How to change, is the correct way?"

"Blocking is worse than sparse. If we want to develop a commercial entertainment environment, we cannot simply rely on prohibition to block it. More should be entertainment content that supports the righteousness or positively guides the growth of young people. Let me give you an example, yes Instead of increasing the input-output ratio of inspirational programs, is it necessary to arrange a better time period for more positive entertainment content? Shouldn’t it be shown as little as possible during the leisure time for teenagers and children? The content of killing, love and love?"

On TV, Shao Shuaijun talked freely. On the sofa, Li Xiuxiu asked gently: "Is it idealized?"

Shao Shuaijun shook his head funny: "It is indeed idealized. How can I say it. I said this in line with the topic of radio and television and the meaning of the above. In recent years, the entertainment industry has been unable to stop the car, and the luxury is extravagant. The atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier. The above still hopes to purify the environment as much as possible. As far as I am concerned, I also think that the country should guide, promote righteousness and encourage positive energy, which is particularly important for the growth of the next generation. One-sided The pursuit of ratings and commercial interests do pollute the environment. We adults don’t care. When children’s worldviews are not yet formed, they will ruin their lives under the influence of such unhealthy trends. Our main theme is not too many, yes not enough."

Many people think that the country shoots a large number of themes every year in order to whitewash the peace and the darkness of politics. In fact, it was wrong, and it was more to cultivate a positive atmosphere. There is indeed a lot of darkness in society, and people can't be too much, but children need a correct, optimistic and positive growth environment.

Don’t put the main theme on the TV, every day it’s playing fighting, killing, or killing Matt Young, Korean brothers and sisters, or Japanese anime. Isn’t this destroying the children’s worldview?

Whether Shao Shuaijun is an angry youth or hypocrisy, he insists that no matter how dark the world is, he should tell the children that the world is bright even if it is just a light. When the heart is bright, the world is bright. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
