Director’s Legend

Chapter 308: [Directing the Avengers Project]

After Marvel Comics named the Marvel Comics in Chinese, it first launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe Trio, which ignited the focus of attention. As we all know, "Iron Man 2" is already in production, still starring Robert Downey Jr. and directed by Jon Feiru. It is already scheduled for next year's summer vacation.

This time, along with the trio, it was revealed that "Thor" has been established and will be directed by the famous Shakespeare director Kenneth Branagh, young actor Chris Hemsworth and Star Wars Queen Natalie Boe.

If nothing happens, it will be directed by the great director Joe Johnston, who has directed "Jurassic Park 3" and "Game of the Brave", and is writing the script. The last piece of news is about the last movie of the first ensemble, "The Avengers."

Marvel Comics and Summit Entertainment, marked with a bright red logo, "Avengers" will be directed by Shao Shuaijun, who is also known as the twin stars of Hollywood with Christopher Nolan. Shao Shuaijun is also the second Chinese director in Hollywood to direct a superhero after Li Yan directed "The Hulk".

However, "Avengers" will be the main summer of 2012. Now it is just a plan. The script, characters and related promotion have not yet started.

"Marvel Comics and Summit Entertainment are definitely premeditated. The Marvel Movie World Trio is really shocking! It has almost laid the cornerstone of the two companies for nearly ten years. According to the "Batman" and "Iron Man" It’s a big hit, and the time for Marvel heroes to collectively compete on stage has arrived. Warner Bros. needs to speed up!"-"New York Times"

"Shao Shuaijun personally directed the superhero movie, which shows the importance of Dream Entertainment for Marvel comics. If all goes well, the future of Hollywood will definitely be a superhero contending situation! DC Comics stand behind Warner Bros. and Marvel Comics stand at the top. Behind the entertainment, will the six major ranks become a two-power hegemony situation? We will wait and see!"-"Denver Post".

"Spider-Man is released, the Fantastic Four are not returning to the team, the X-Men is nowhere in sight, and the copyright road for Marvel comics is still very long. Everyone thought that Summit Entertainment had acquired a shell company, but the Marvel Movie World Trio told us We, Shao Shuaijun’s eyes are unattainable. The stocks of Marvel and Summit have risen again as proof that shareholders are confident in this plan!"-"Wall Street Journal".

"Twentieth Century Fox has announced a few days ago that the X-Men prequel "X-Men: First Class" has been established, and the rumor "Wolverine 2" is also in preparation. According to the agreement of Marvel to sell the copyright that year. X-Men series of superheroes A two-year one, six films can be filmed, and the copyright can be extended in 2012. However, the success of a single hero Wolverine allows the X-Men series copyright to be extended up to 2021. According to 20th Century Fox’s plan, it may be in 2016 The filming of "Magneto King" in the next year will once again extend the copyright of the X-Men, and Marvel's recovery of the X-Men will become indefinite!"-"Hollywood Film Report".

"It is reported that Summit Entertainment has begun negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox on the copyright of superheroes. Fox said that everything can be discussed except the X-Men. The Fantastic Four, Daredevil and Daredevil are all in control of the 20th Century Fox. In the hands of Century Fox, if the negotiation goes smoothly, these superheroes will return to the team and join the Marvel Cinematic Universe Trio project!"-"Los Angeles Times".

"Today the head of Sony's film department announced a message on Twitter that Columbia will restart the Spider-Man project. The tentative plan is "The Amazing Spider-Man", the story of Spider-Man returning to his school days. According to industry insiders, Sony's move It is no longer starting Spider-Man copyright negotiations with Summit Entertainment. If according to the original copyright agreement, Spider-Man will return to Marvel after the six movies, at least after 2016. Marvel's heroic road is a bumpy road!"—— "The Sun".

With the implementation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Trio project, there are more and more reports about the copyright of superheroes, which makes people confused. However, one thing comic fans know very well that X and Xiao Chong will not return to Marvel. Comic fans are very disappointed. After all, X and Xiao Chong are the two most classic characters in Marvel comics.

Compared with the disappointment of comics fans, Shao Shuaijun was open to it. He had expected X and Xiao Chong long before the acquisition, and he estimated that they would not be able to collect them in a short time. After all, the previous hit movies are these two series. Now we can only do our best to obey our destiny, and actively negotiate and strive for it.

It's good to have it, but nothing can change the gorgeous appearance of Marvel heroes!

Throughout September and October, it was spent in the clamor of superheroes. On November 6, Guy Ritchie’s latest masterpiece "Detective Sherlock Holmes" began to land in North America. It swept $63.5 million in the first weekend and reached the top. The North American box office weekend champion.

Hollywood is in an uproar again. According to this momentum and good reputation, the global sales of Sherlock Holmes has been confirmed.

"Another glorious victory for Summit Entertainment, another victory for Guy Rich! This year, Summit Entertainment's total box office has reached 1.896 billion US dollars, "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Detective Sherlock Holmes" are still in theaters. "The Hangover 2" is preparing to be released. Who else in Hollywood can stop the rise of Summit Entertainment, please let us cheer the new king ascended to the throne!" The media screamed.

On the second weekend, Sony’s disaster blockbuster "2012" won the championship, but "Detective Sherlock Holmes" was still the second best box office with 38.4 million dollars. Two weeks later, the total box office in North America was 158.3 million dollars. In addition to the US$57.4 million earned overseas, the total box office has exceeded 200 million. Not only is it easy to earn back the costs, but in the next time, it is a question of how much money is earned.

The release has not yet ended, Peak Entertainment and Guy Ritchie team released the news, "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: The Phantom Game" is under construction, looking forward to returning next year! According to the popularity of Holmes, this series can continue for a long time, until when the game is broken, and it ends when it doesn't make money.

This year is destined to be the most beautiful year for Summit Entertainment!

At the same time, Shao Shuaijun has returned to China, and the schedule of "Old Boy" is set to premiere on Sunday, November 29th, for the entire December. As a great Hollywood director, Shao Shuaijun’s films do not need to wait at all. Overseas in Asia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, India, Bangladesh and other countries, as well as Hong Kong and Treasure Island, will all be in November. Simultaneously released on the 30th.

It is impossible for Shao Shuaijun to run propaganda in person, so the propaganda task was handed over to Huang Bo and Liu Shishi to lead the team and touring throughout Asia. However, Shao Shuaijun also helped the movie more or less. He accepted an interview with "Interview with Yang Lan." After "High-end Interview" was cancelled, "Interview with Yang Lan" became the most successful interview show with cutting-edge characters.

This is Shao Shuaijun’s second interview with Yang Lan. The two have talked a lot about "Old Boy".

"In "Old Boy" I went to the show in person, and I felt it was a challenge to myself. After being scolded for the "Source Code" performance, I rarely performed in person. In recent years, I even made a cameo appearance. Not at all. It’s just because this is a sad and laughable youth movie that mourns the sadness and memories that accompanied your growth. I really want to experience all of this."

"Dreams cannot be said to be represented by anything. We can't say that if you pursue your dreams, you will succeed, but at least in the process of pursuing your dreams, you have gained some success and affirmation of yourself. This is enough. It is also me. What you want to express in the movie."

"Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai went to participate in the "China Good Boy" audition. On the one hand, Huang Bo and I sang "Old Boy" on "The Voice of China". On the other hand, I am also myself, as a practitioner in the entertainment industry. , A desire for fame. I rarely participate in entertainment programs, and it does not conflict with my desire to become famous. I pursue the fame of the mountain, not the fame of the show."

"I can't simply categorize what kind of personality I am. I have changed a lot. I used to be afraid of flashing things because it reminds me of unpleasant experiences, and I am also afraid to express my own emotions. , Yang Lan, you know, during the period of "The Night Watcher", I was once scolded miserably. I admit that I am arrogant and arrogant. I am not a perfect person. I have a lot of disgusting things. You know me, and then scold me, why can't we continue to pretend to be passers-by."

"So over the years, I have been less and less appearing in public, just accept interviews, and only want to express what I want to say, before accepting interviews with magazines and programs. Originally, I did not intend to participate in the promotion of any film, just because "Old Boy" is a movie I value very much, and I hope more people will see this movie."

"Dreams will not fade. Whether you have succeeded and gained status, or are struggling silently, dreams are a kind of guiding us to make continuous progress... an initial driving force."

Chat like an old friend, time passes quickly.

After the "Interview with Yang Lan" was over, Shao Shuaijun buried his head at home and stopped going out.

Due to the delay of "Old Boy", several of his commercial films were not filmed, and Peak Entertainment recently needed money for large sums of money. The 4.5 billion US dollars almost consumed the cash flow of Summit Entertainment. Finally, the big sales of several movies relieved the pressure. However, with the negotiation of the copyright of superheroes, a lot of funds are needed to recover the copyright.

In a word, Dreaming Entertainment is a little short of money now, and the market value is indeed high, but the cash flow is only that little.

The acquisition of Marvel is simple, but the difficulty is how to integrate Marvel into the dream-catching entertainment system and how to continue to make money instead of losing money. To make money, you must put money into the Marvel Cinematic Universe Trio now!

Where does the money come from? Want to come soon?

If you don't want to raise money, you can only make a movie.

Shao Shuaijun assigned himself a task and should do his best to relieve the company's financial pressure next year. Next year "Teddy Bear", "The Hunger Games" and "Rise of the Apes" will all be produced and released! If possible, he will direct two films at the same time and give the other one to someone else.
