Director’s Legend

September has passed, and October is coming. A little fresh breath in "500 Days with Summer" has given this autumn a golden fragrance. The global box office of 200 million US dollars is expected to exceed 300 million, far exceeding Shao Shuaijun’s expectations, especially for a movie that costs less than 10 million US dollars.

While allowing Summit Entertainment to make a lot of money, it also ignited the raging fire of Dream Chasing Entertainment. After unanimous consultations from the top, it prepared to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As of 2008, net income, including movie box office, DVD sales and peripheral products, has reached 1 billion US dollars. This still does not include "500 Days with Summer", which is currently in theaters, and "The Hangover" which is not yet released.

The flagship product twitter of Obvious, a subsidiary of Summit Entertainment, has been popularized throughout the United States, just like the time scarf ruled China. Twitter ruled North America. In the future, the two big snoods will work together and even enter the global snood interconnection. At the same time, Obvious has also participated in the development of the mobile phone android operating system led by Google, and has worked **** the surrounding application software.

The era of smart phones has begun to take shape, and the application software of the android system will be the beginning of a feast.

In such an unprecedentedly good state of profitability, it is the best time to go public and make money.

Shao Shuaijun supports this, and he also hopes that the company can collect a lot of money, preferably billions of dollars. Then he has the money to participate in Marvel's acquisition plan. Recently, it has been reported that Disney has initiated the acquisition of Marvel, one of the American comic giants.

Marvel and DC are the two major comics giants in the United States. They own a large number of superheroes including Iron Man, Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Wolverine, etc., as well as Avengers, X-Men, etc. Superhero team.

The global popularity of Batman directed by Nolan also indicates the rise of superheroes. Perhaps it was also affected by the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Superheroes are being sought after again. Everyone hopes to have superheroes to protect the world. Shao Shuaijun is indifferent to whether superheroes can protect the world. There are a lot of gods and bodhisattvas in China, and superheroes are not needed. But superheroes make money.

In the memory of his last life, the superhero series hardly lost money. Taking advantage of this momentum, it has not yet become vigorous, and grabbed Marvel in front of Disney and grabbed the copyright of the superhero. This is a steady stream of income. Especially the special effects technology is getting better and better, and the superheroes have become more realistic, and the hotness in the future will continue for a long, long time...

Of course, it can only be YY now, and Marvel's market value is also three or four billion US dollars. For Summit Entertainment, the acquisition is tantamount to a snake-like elephant and requires a long-term plan.

On this day, National Day, Shao Shuaijun flew back to the capital from India. Flying back and forth between Hong Kong and India at this time is not easy. The crew of "Slumdog Millionaire" is okay, the early stage is ready, so there is no need for sustained attention. The progress of "IMAX-3D Yupu Mission" is not fast, mainly because IMAX-3D technology is prone to problems. It may take more than a week to solve a small problem.

Fortunately, the technical obstacles have been solved one by one, and the shooting is getting smoother. It must be possible before May Day next year. In Shao Shuaijun's memory, "Avatar" was released on the Christmas file in 2009. Even if it is advanced, he will have to grab the box office in the summer file next year. Therefore, this number one title has almost fallen to "IMAX-3D Jade Group".

Dreamcatcher apartment.

Shao Shuaijun writes and draws on the desk, not a movie script. In fact, the adaptation of "The Hunger Games" has been written, but Shao Shuaijun has not yet determined whether he will direct it. He is currently writing a speech.

After a while, Li Xiuxiu took a cup of freshly brewed tea, sat next to Shao Shuaijun, and snuggled over: "I have written the speech for a few days, haven't you finished it yet?"

Shao Shuaijun put aside the pen, took Li Xiuxiu into his arms, fiddling with her hair, and said: "I don't know how to say it, I should talk about special effects, but it's hard to say special effects, it's just how to apply it. , How to learn. They came to the New Electrical Technology Research Institute just to learn special effects, why should I repeat."

This speech was written for the New Electrotechnical Research Institute. This year is the first independent enrollment of the New Electrotechnical Research Institute. It has recruited more than 800 specialists and more than 50 retraining filmmakers. After a month of military training, after the National Day holiday, a new life ceremony will be held.

The New Electrotechnical Research Institute placed great expectations on Shao Shuaijun, and he naturally wanted to give a speech at the ceremony.

"Where are you going to start?"

Shao Shuaijun picked up the manuscript, and it was altered in a mess, but it can be seen that the title is "Where is the way out for Chinese movies".

"The title is big?"

"Well, President Zhang said that Nortel students will come to listen to this freshman ceremony, as will teachers from art schools of several universities such as China Opera and China Broadcasting Corporation. The pressure is heavy and I am afraid that it will not be good.

Li Xiuxiu chuckled: "You're also scared. You've been to Golden Suanmei. It's just a speech, that is to say, it is not good. They still have to hold you and say that you said well." Yi Shao Shuaijun's entertainment today The oligarch status is indeed the case. Even if you fart, others will argue that it smells good, and society is so secular.

“It’s boring to sing it around. Chinese movies can impact the world. There is no way. I originally had hope for "No Man’s Land", but as you can see, Yankees don’t buy it at all. Why Hollywood movies come to China like this Popular, but our films still can’t go out? Is it really just as a participating film to please the judges of various film festivals?"

"Don't worry, take your time, don't you often say that Hollywood's film industry is facing a crisis, will the industry focus on Asia?"

"That's different. It's their film industry, which will be constrained by cost, etc., but it doesn't mean that Hollywood movies have fallen because of this. For us, the film industry, such as special effects, is a piece of fat. Said this is just fat, throw away the fat, and you can pack lightly. Continue to assimilate the tastes of the world, exercise their soft power, and change the world... Forget it, what is this heart for? Just worry about it."

Shao Shuaijun threw the manuscript aside, then lifted Li Xiuxiu's chin: "I am more concerned about the proposition of multiplying for humanity, wife, let's discuss it."

"Discuss you, a big-headed ghost, Bai Ri Xuan Yin, you are the faint monarch in ancient times."

"First, our old Shao family has never had a relationship with the emperor. Second, I was talking about discussing a rigorous scientific proposition, but you thought of Bai Ri Xuan Yin. Whose thoughts do you say is unhealthy?"

"Of course it's you."

"Hey, right? Since you said that, I will let you know what is unhealthy."

She kissed her lips, her tongue was lingering, her hands were not being honest, she wandered around Li Xiuxiu, unbuttoning her hands skillfully, and then climbing onto the towering horns, full and round. Following Shao Shuaijun's hand, it changed different shapes, and the top was bright red, which also protruded and became strong. Li Xiuxiu managed to open Shao Shuaijun's mouth, panting and saying, "Don't be here, go back to the room!"

"Okay." The words were concise and clear, Shao Shuaijun had no more words to say, he was full of plans to create villains.

In the golden autumn of October, the love is deep.

Silence is better than sound.

...

Monday, October 6th, New Electrotechnical Research Institute.

The research institute is located outside the Fourth Ring Road. The new building on the new campus, even though it is only a college under Nortel, occupies more than 500 acres of land and looks very empty. Of course, the land is provided by Dreaming Entertainment Group. Although Dreaming does not play real estate, it cannot hold up the money, and occasionally it is inevitable that it will enclose a little land and build a building.

Dream chasing is not as tight as it was when building a film and television base. Equestrian bases, clubs, hotels, and movie theaters are all slightly involved, not for profit, but mainly to serve the dream chasing entertainment group. Large groups naturally have a full range of supporting facilities.

The huge playground, which can be compared to a regular football field, has been set up as a big stage, and the freshman ceremony is held here. Not only did the Nortel’s thousands of students arrive, but also many students from the Chinese Opera, Broadcasting Academy, Beijing Guangxi and other schools. In addition to the students, they are the faculty and staff of various universities and journalists.

At least three hundred media reporters came here, not for the New Electrotechnical Research Institute, but for the stars present.

The academy is to provide new technologies for Chinese films, and is an initiative that benefits the entire Chinese film industry. It also has the appeal of dream-catching entertainment, almost all over the country, including well-known directors, producers, celebrities, and entertainment companies from the Mainland, Hong Kong and Treasure Island. The boss, as long as he is free, will be there in person. The leaders of the Radio and Television, the Ministry of Culture, and even a deputy prime minister in charge of the cultural industry came.

The specifications are so high.

Originally, Zhang Hongwei, the dean of the research institute, first delivered a speech at the ceremony. When the vice premier arrived, he naturally gave a few words first.

"Welcome students, come here to provide power for the new technology of the film industry... 2008 is the sixth year of the reform of the theater system, and also the sixth year of China's promotion of film industrialization and marketization. We are very pleased to see In the past six years, no matter in terms of the quality, quantity and box office of movies, it has maintained a gratifying growth... The development of movies is inseparable from the development of technology. The future of Chinese movies, I hope all of you Students, can take on this important task."

After the prime minister's short-sighted speech, several leaders came to the stage to say a few more words. With the prime minister taking the lead, the leaders dare not delay any more time. Otherwise, you, a subordinate, will take longer than the leader to speak. Isn't this looking for death? Therefore, the advancing speed is very fast.

"Next, let us welcome the internationally renowned director Shao Shuaijun, an investor of the New Electrical Technology Research Institute, to give a speech for the ceremony."

Shao Shuaijun stood up from the podium with a smile and walked to the microphone. Looking at the students below, he gently shook the manuscript in his hand: "At the beginning, the hospital told me that I hoped I would give a speech at the freshman ceremony. For this, I prepared for a long time, I think I should give this speech. What can I have insights in simple language and a more profound interpretation of Chinese movies. I have also written a long manuscript for this. But standing here, I am suddenly relieved. I don’t need a manuscript, nor do I need to go. To interpret Chinese movies, treat us as friends and chat here."

Fold the manuscript and tuck it into your arms.

"I have been in the industry for five years and have worked hard in this industry for a long time. I have also made a few films. Thanks to you, I can call me a director for the time being. What does a director do, make movies, TV shows, and commercials? Of course these are all, but director Zhang Yimou told us that the director can still shoot the Olympics."

"Haha." A student was laughing.

"I am very happy that our country has hosted a successful Olympic Games. No, in my opinion, it is the most successful Olympic Games. We have shown the world the strength and prosperity of our country. From the pride of our hearts, we won 51 gold medals. , I’m even more happy that through this Olympics, we have demonstrated China’s ancient traditional culture. Before that, who of you knows what Fou is? To be honest, I don’t know the original Fou is a kind of Ancient percussion instrument."

After a pause, Shao Shuaijun continued: "We have five thousand years of historical and cultural accumulation, and our sages have made immeasurable contributions to the world. As long as we dig one or two, they are all brilliant treasures that cannot be added. But now We looked at foreign superheroes, secret agents, and pirates. We knew about the 200-year history of the United States. We knew that there was a magic academy in the UK. With a stick, we can turn into frogs and toads. We also know that Batman doesn’t look like a toad. Bats, and they can't fly."

"Haha." A student was laughing again.

"But we don’t know how many dynasties there are in China’s five thousand years of history. We don’t even know that Zheng He is actually not Zheng. Sometimes abacus calculations are faster and more accurate than computer calculations. The Zhouyi has influenced the science of many countries. Development. We throw away our culture completely, but instead think that Superman can save the earth. Transformers are our friends. Spiderman, Batman, and Ultraman can all destroy little monsters and protect humanity..."

"Foreign blockbusters are constantly pouring in, and we have almost no power to fight back. In the past few years, how much of the movie box office market has been made by Chinese films. Let’s take a look at the list. Hey, there are five of the top ten. It's a Chinese movie. Does this mean that Chinese movies have developed? No!"

"Because we shoot more than 400 movies every year, so only a dozen of them have made money, and the remaining 200 and 300 are money-losing goods. It's like our audience doesn't like domestic movies, they like foreign movies. Then we appealed that this is Hollywood's "peaceful evolution" to us. They use "soft power" to corrupt us. Everyone will say it, nonsense!

"Yeah, it's all nonsense. It's all about making movies. Why don't you make a bad movie and others make such a good-looking movie? We have five thousand years of foundation here. The audience must appreciate Chinese traditional culture more. I am so obsessed with foreigners in Hollywood, so interested in Hollywood’s Star Wars and the sinking of the Titanic? The answer is simple, because we are fooling the audience!"

"Someone is about to ask, maybe the director asked, how did we fool the audience? Everyone said that we want to watch Hollywood blockbusters, and we also make blockbuster films. First, the film needs to be exquisite, cost, computer special effects, and Hollywood’s special effects are on par. Second, we must invite celebrities, big-name ones, those with a salary of less than one million yuan, or even if they are not from one country, they can’t understand what they say. Everyone likes watching celebrities, so let’s let celebrities play their emotion Play, watch enough. Third, there are still big scenes, how many cows, how many donkeys, how many bears were used. Then, we need to put together sound effects, right." (To be continued. Please search for floating Astronomy, novels are better and newer and faster!)
