Director’s Legend

After Shao Shuaijun's consideration, Lao Bai said hurriedly.

"I originally planned to shoot as a Hong Kong film. Golden Harvest is an established Hong Kong film company. It is normal and reasonable to shoot a romantic film. Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as South Korea and Japan, are our ticket warehouses. No, the movie is not worried about losing money. Besides, it doesn’t have to be IMAX-3D format, it can be IMAX, 3D, or 2D format. I just want to use IMAX-3D. I heard that Mr. Shao has opened a new dream Institute of Film Technology, research projects include IMAX-3D, isn’t Mr. Shao looking forward to the birth of an IMAX-3D live-action film in your hands? I heard that there is a Cameron in the United States who is making IMAX-3D The movie "Avatar", this movie is very simple, as long as the shooting is in place, it can be released before him. This is truly the world's first IMAX-3D live-action movie!"

"This..." Shao Shuaijun groaned, and the fool didn't want to be able to grab the first title. The content of "Avatar" is also so-so, relying on an IMAX-3D film gimmick, won the miracle box office, and the name has also been engraved in the history of film. Why can't this name be replaced by a Chinese name?

"Mr. Shao, if you agree, you can do this director, and I'll be satisfied with Lao Bai!"

Shao Shuaijun laughed: "I'm just thinking about whether or not to invest. If you invest, you can make your book director. Now I have some concerns."

"The investment in the movie is not large. The scenes and props are very simple. It just needs a little IMAX-3D technology. Hasn't IMAX already developed a digital version of IMAX-3D camera technology, although it is weaker than the real IMAX? , But this is IMAX-3D, it’s not a counterfeit of "Superman Returns", no one can grab the title! If you think it’s not good, I don’t want IMAX-3D, it’s only 2D, I will give it to you too Make the movie a hit!" Lao Bai said excitedly.

Knocked on his thigh, Shao Shuaijun thought a bit complicated, and it took a long time to stand up suddenly: "Okay, I will shoot "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan". If you want to do it, make it bigger, IMAX-3D, I want it!"

Lao Bai patted his thigh: "Really? Mr. Shao, 2D shooting is also possible. If you are embarrassed, you don't have to have IMAX-3D."

"Strange, don't you like IMAX-3D very much?"

Old Bai was stunned: "Of course, I want to shoot, Mr. Shao, you agree."

"Agree, at most it is a loss of money at the box office. I think it's worth buying this reputation!" Shao Shuaijun waved and said firmly. He has a passion for high-tech film technology.

"Haha, great!" Lao Bai was overjoyed, and then thought of something, "President Shao, you have to introduce me one or two professionals, this...I don't understand IMAX-3D."

Shao Shuaijun blinked his eyes, feeling that what Lao Bai just said was mysterious, and it was just fooling him. He didn't understand what IMAX-3D was. However, Shao Shuaijun doesn’t matter anymore. He decided to shoot, not because he was fooled by Lao Bai, but because he really wanted to shoot: "It’s okay, you don’t understand me. You can do it as the director, and I’ll do it as the producer and producer. To do, I will invite the most professional IMAX-3D talents from the United States. You only need to do a good job of the script and master the crew. The filming format does not need to worry about."

"Sure, IMAX-3D President Shao is in charge, I'll worry about the crew!"

"It's getting late, call my sister-in-law, I invite you to dinner." Shao Shuaijun made a decision, no longer in trouble, called Li Xiuxiu, and went to the hotel together.

When Li Xiuxiu rushed over, Lao Bai and his sister-in-law greeted enthusiastically: "This is Mr. Li, hello, hello."

"Big Brother Bai and Sister Bai, you are good, I heard A Jun talk about you, thank you Brother Bai for enlightening A Jun, during that time he was always horny."

"That's all trivial things. The two of you are really a match made in heaven. One is a good helper to help Mr. Shao manage the company, and the other is the number one scholar, who is brilliant. Last time I read the newspaper, Mr. Shao said that he has an object. I don't know how much I envy. People, how many people shed tears."

Li Xiuxiu smiled sweetly at Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun did not conceal his feelings like ordinary celebrities, and generously admitted that this is more romantic for women than for privately romantic things.

Shao Shuaijun laughed and said, "Let them be envious. By the way, Lao Bai, don't take a mouthful of Mr. Shao, just call me Ajun. It's rare for us to have a lot of common languages. What are you doing with such a job?"

"That's OK, I'll ask you to shout Ajun."

Eating and chatting, and soon, Shao Shuaijun and Bai Jifei went to the "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" again, discussing the plot and sub-shots, it was a joy. This can make Li Xiuxiu depressed. Listening to the conversation between the two people, various pickled words pop up from time to time. They are simply two wretched **** maniacs.

"A Jun, Lao Bai, what are you talking about!"

Shao Shuaijun suddenly smiled: "We are studying a movie, IMAX-3D format."

"what movie?"

""IMAX-3D Yupu Mission"."

"What is this again?"

"It's just one, uh, Fengyue film."

Li Xiuxiu screamed: "You are going to make an IMAX-3D format... this kind of film? Are your brains burned out?"

Lao Bai laughed: "I can't say that. This will be a Hong Kong movie. Fengyue film is also an indispensable part of Hong Kong film. The world's first live-action IMAX-3D format film is also the first Fengyue film. Movies with themes, this gimmick is full of gimmicks, not only can it hit Asia, but it is also not difficult to break internationally."

"Relying on such a movie to break into the world?" Li Xiuxiu really couldn't understand the two people's ideas.

Shao Shuaijun's face is also red, and he coughed and said: "A good movie, we should abandon those colored glasses, and correctly examine the structure, narrative content and theme of the meditation. This "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" , Is in line with the overall idea of ​​a good movie. There is nothing wrong with investing in Dreaming Golden Harvest, right?"

Li Xiuxiu turned her face and hummed and said, "In my opinion, this is unhealthy content. Didn't you just say that entertainment content should also be active and healthy. For such a movie, you are not afraid of others calling you?"

"There is nothing to curse. First, it will not be released in China. Second, it will be vetted for adults in accordance with the three-pole system. The third film is also a guide for good. We also hope to test the latest development of IMAX through a low-cost film. The effects of IMAX-3D digital photography will build up the foundation for future formal IMAX-3D productions. You know, this is a cool shooting pleasure."

"You always make sense." Li Xiuxiu said angrily and funny.

In any case, this "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" was so decided, and the project was sent to Dreamcatcher Golden Harvest that night. At the decision-making meeting on the second day, the executives who had long been impressed by Shao Shuaijun's magic did not raise any objections and passed it unanimously.

In Hong Kong, it is normal to shoot such a romantic movie. The Emperor, Media Asia, and Universe have all made such movies. Fengyue is a cultural component of Hong Kong, and many countries and regions in the world also have this cultural composition, especially Japan, which is simply popular, and it will also be the largest ticket store for "IMAX-3D".

Lao Bai didn't stay too much, so he rushed to Hong Kong the next day to prepare the crew, and Shao Shuaijun would also go to the United States to contact professionals to join, and use the new electric technology as a platform to participate in this epoch-making romantic film.

"Since it is focused on the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japanese markets, I mean, when casting roles, we must consider the actors from Treasure Island and Japan, and strive to create a multinational joint blockbuster. If this is the most advanced technology IMAX-3D shooting, it will also If it's the most luxurious scenes and props, the actors must be the most beautiful and dazzling. Old Bai, I hope you can understand that I will supervise the whole process, and you must catch the rules and regulations of the set. We are shooting Fengyue films, but The scene must be rigorous and serious, and there must be no incidents that corrupt the atmosphere at all."

Before leaving, Shao Shuaijun told Lao Bai. He is more of a reward for Lao Bai taking charge of this shooting plan, hoping that Lao Bai can realize his dream and become a great director, not the kind of inferior director who takes one shot for another. To become a qualified director, lack of character is fine, but there must be a studio system.

Work and private must be separated and separated. Can no longer continue to be salty and wet.

On May 9, Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States. The release of "500 Days with Summer" should be arranged and the IMAX-3D team should be contacted.

In this year's summer archives, "Dance Out of My Life 2" and "Twilight Saga: New Moon" independently produced by Summit Entertainment will be launched in the summer archives, one in June and the other in July. In order to avoid the collision of schedules, "500 Days with Summer" will inevitably be postponed. We are now considering whether to squeeze on the last bus for summer vacation in August, or to withdraw from summer vacation and focus on non-schedule.

"To be honest, although there are no outstanding movies in the August release, I still tend to release them off-schedule. The movies are not aimed at teenagers, but are more aimed at urban men and women. After work, I watch a movie. A small and fresh love movie, this is a very good choice, isn't it?" Shao Shuaijun said to the "500 Days with Summer" propaganda team.

Mitchell asked: "Shao, you don't seem to be very optimistic about Summer's box office?"

"I can't say that I'm not optimistic, I can only say that the potential is limited. There are no special effects, no fights, no magic, no superstars, and even love is fragmented. This kind of movie is more suitable for buying a DVD and savoring it alone. Fortunately, the movie Even the cost of 10 million US dollars has not been used. It is certain that there is a profit. Just don't expect too much."

Not every movie is "Juneo", and a few million can be exchanged for 200 million US dollars. At the very least, the original version of Summer has a good evaluation, but the box office is not too high, as if only tens of millions of dollars. This version, after Shao Shuaijun's modification, plus the adjustment of the cast, and the expansion of publicity, should be able to exceed the original version, but Shao Shuaijun is not a god, it is uncertain.

"Then we will set the file for September? It was successful in the United States. After October, we will arrange the screenings in China and other countries, just to avoid the Olympic Games.

"Then set it this way, the publicity is left to you, I may not have time then."

After dealing with the release of his movie, Shao Shuaijun began to look for a professional IMAX-3D team. At the beginning of 2008, IMAX has invented the new IMAX-3D photography technology, which belongs to the category of digital photography. The effect is about 4K resolution, which is still some distance from the real 6K IMAX, but at the moment, it can be satisfied. IMAX-3D's conflict between light and darkness.

In fact, it was developed so quickly, and we have to rely on "Avatar". "Avatar" was originally filmed in 3D, but Cameron wanted to try IMAX. In order to compromise with digital cinema, IMAX participated in "Avatar". "The production of the digital version of IMAX-3D photography technology.

Only in this era, directors are still skeptical of IMAX and 3D, and few are willing to adopt this technology. They are all watching the effect of "Avatar" before making a decision. This will make the future "Avatar" eat crabs first, sweep the world, and once again make Cameron's title of "king of the world" stronger.

Now Shao Shuaijun wants to pick the peaches first. The IMAX-3D blockbuster filming cycle must be very long, and he can't beat "Avatar". Normal movies do not need the effects of IMAX-3D. After much deliberation, only the simple theme of the scene like Fengyue film can produce the IMAX-3D format in a short time, and it can also match the effect very well.

Otherwise, if Shao Shuaijun wants the title of IMAX-3D, he will not waste ten or twenty million dollars to make a romantic movie. That's right, the investment in "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" is likely to be huge. For the IMAX-3D format, it is likely to require more than 100 million yuan in production costs.

A romantic film with an investment of over 100 million and only Shao Shuaijun, who has a lot of money, has this courage to do it.

For Shao Shuaijun to find IMAX company again, the company president Robert Cole warmly welcomed him, and then signed a contract. IMAX company will send people to help Chase Dream Jiahe to provide IMAX-3D technical services for "IMAX-3D Jade Group". Although the cooperation of "Nightman" ended in failure, IMAX was very grateful for Shao Shuaijun's leading use of technology, and the two sides cooperated well.

In fact, Dreaming Entertainment and IMAX are currently negotiating a big cooperation plan, which is to cooperate with Wanda Cinemas and Jiahe Cinemas in the Mainland to build IMAX theaters. This plan is led by Shao Shuaijun, and Wanda Group, Dream Chasing Group, and Dream Chasing Jiahe will all participate.

Negotiations are arduous, but once the talks are completed, at least more than 100 IMAX theaters will be built in the mainland. It also indicates that Dream Entertainment will enter the movie theater business on a large scale, and it also announced that the Chinese film screening has entered the era of huge screens!

A digital movie, an IMAX theater, these are the two main directions of dream pursuit in the future, of course, 3D is also the direction of research.

After reaching an agreement with IMAX, Shao Shuaijun contacted a group of IMAX photography professionals. This includes the photographer Hatton Barry of "The Night Watcher" and "Inception". Now Hatton has become a talent, and many movies have invited him to serve as a photographer. It's just that he is not interested in those small productions. Now he is only interested in IMAX photography, so he is still waiting for work at home.

When I heard that I was going to make an IMAX-3D movie, Hatton agreed without saying a word.

"I like this job and go to Hong Kong to make movies? No problem, I like Hong Kong, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long! I like to go to Hong Kong to make movies, so what about romantic movies? This is also art!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature , The novel is better and updated faster!)
