Director’s Legend

It is also a magical epic movie, d2 and ilm provide special effects, and it is jointly promoted by a Sino-US joint venture, and even James Cameron is involved. One can imagine the attraction of the four major magic series to directors. Most of those attending the meeting were directors who had produced magical movies, so it was not difficult to follow up.

When the meeting was over, the directors immediately proposed to go to the screenwriter library to look at the script.

If there is a good script, they have no reason to refuse this cooperation.

After the conference, the four major fantasy series were officially launched. The first two TV series and "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" were filmed. The story of this movie is also in line with the mainstream trend of movies in the world today-the love of shemales. Look at how many fans the vampire love in Twilight has gained, and you know that this kind of movie is very interesting.

Moreover, the story of the White Snake can also be transformed into a Hollywood blockbuster model. The film directed by Chen Jiashang was born out of the White Snake, renamed the heroine as Green Snake, and is set as the descendant of Nuwa, with the same worldview as the four major magical series. The big villain was not Fahai, but Fahai's apprentice, who went down the mountain to avenge his teacher for evil, and was then wiped out by the green snake.

In short, the main story of the four major fantasy series is quite concise and clear, that is, the bad guys want to destroy, and the protagonist destroys the bad guys. Then add a little obscure content.

It is not a matter of going out of Asia for Chinese-language movies overnight. They choose mysterious stories when they come up. It is conceivable that foreigners will not buy it. It is necessary to assimilate the tastes of foreigners bit by bit, when foreigners have become accustomed to the connotation of Chinese movies. At that time, I can speak a little more profoundly.

Another reason is that "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake" has very few cg special effects. When the green snake transforms into a battle with Fahai, more special effects are needed, and other places. It doesn't need too many special effects. Relatively speaking. The cost of this film will be very low. As an experimental film, it is very suitable.

"The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer", directed by Shao Shuaijun himself, was built on the scale of the Lord of the Rings battle. It would require an investment of RMB 5.6 billion, so it will be postponed in the future. Even after "The Legend of White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake" was released, the response was strong, and then it started.

After all, the risk of investing in movies is very high, and no one can afford to blindly launch such a big plan.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Trio, which is now popular all over the world, originally created a good view of the world in advance, and then another movie. Build step by step. The word-of-mouth and box office are excellent, and the plan for the next movie is launched. It continues the connection between the movies and avoids the risk of over-extracting.

After solving the start-up problems of the four major magic series projects, Shao Shuaijun put the completed scripts on hold for the time being. When I went to Thailand, Xu Zheng's new film "Thailand of People's Journey Again" is filming in Thailand.

News of Shao Shuaijun's arrival. It was quickly learned by local reporters, and the madness rushed to the crew studio.

"The Avengers" is currently being screened in Thailand. A number of records have been set. At present, he has won five consecutive championships in Thailand, with more than 300 million baht, becoming the new overlord in Thai film history. The reporter's crazy visits not only provided a lot of exposure to the Thai joke crew, but also alarmed the Thai government.

Thai Prime Minister Yingluck personally invited Shao Shuaijun to the house for a banquet.

With Shao Shuaijun’s current global status, the head of a small country cannot match Shao Shuaijun’s influence, even his status. It's like Bill Gates goes to a small country, and the treatment he receives is the treatment that a head of state can enjoy. As an oligarch in the entertainment industry, Shao Shuaijun can also enjoy such treatment when he goes to a small country.

No way, too much money.

Any small country hopes to have a good relationship with the rich. A little investment can benefit the entire country.

In the past two years, Yingluck’s rule in Thailand has not been very stable, and China needs to be its backer, and China needs a neighboring country as its ally. Shao Shuaijun was not easy to refuse because of his emotions and reason, so he agreed to Yingluck's invitation and went to the prime minister's office for dinner. By the way, Yingluck also invited Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang.

As the head of a country, Yingluck may not be the most famous, but in the world, she is the most beautiful female prime minister. The half-old milfs still have the charm and the light given by power, they look pleasing to the eye. And it’s very interesting that Yingluck is also half-Chinese. His ancestors were all Chinese. Later, he immigrated to Thailand and became a power center.

However, a politician is a politician, and the conversation is torn between two main points. One is to hope that Shao Shuaijun can invest in Thailand, and the other is to express the intention of China-Thailand friendship.

Talking to Shao Shuaijun about China-Thailand friendship is purely playing the piano against cattle, and he doesn't understand politics at all.

Yingluck’s move is just to show it to the top Chinese leaders. Being friendly to Shao Shuaijun means being friendly to the Chinese and being friendly to China...

"The food at the banquet at the Presidential Palace in Thailand is just like cooking." After eating, drinking tea, and chatting, the four returned to the crew. On the way, Huang Bo picked up his teeth with a toothpick, so commented.

"I'm eating with gusto, tusk, eating at the prime minister's house, it feels different." Xu Zheng said with a look of aftertaste, "I guess there will be no chance in the future. I will come over for dinner. I really miss it."

Shao Shuaijun raised his eyebrows: "It's not necessarily. In case Thai embarrassment is hot, and Chinese people come to Thailand to travel, maybe you can be recruited by Yingluck as a guest." Shao Shuaijun vaguely remembered that it was because Thai embarrassment was too hot. , Chinese people come to Thailand to travel greatly, Yingluck specially invited Xu Zheng and others to have a cordial exchange.

After spending a few days in the crew to give guidance to Xu Zheng, Shao Shuaijun set off again and flew to Hollywood.

"The Avengers" has become the top three movies in the film history in the global release, and Summit Entertainment can't wait to release a sequel now to make a fortune. Therefore, the project plan of "Avengers: Age of Ultron" announced that Shao Shuaijun was here to attend the project plan.

The director of Ultron Times has been selected and will be directed by Jos Weiden. Speaking of Jos Weiden, many people may be unfamiliar, especially his reputation among film directors. However, he has a nickname, known as George Lucas in the television industry, and his sci-fi TV series "In Fire" (Out of the Tranquility) is super popular and has a large number of fans.

Shao Shuaijun also supervised the production of "Iron Man 3" in addition to the platform for Jos Weiden.

Shane Black has already started to call in actors to do a great job, hoping that "Iron Man 3" will surpass the 1st and 2nd and reach a new high.

Previously, the state of Michigan was invited to the "Iron Man 3" crew. They were willing to provide a tax incentive of 13 million US dollars, which is to make a movie here, so much tax relief. However, it is clear that Michigan is a bit stingy, and North Carolina is willing to provide $20 million in tax incentives.

Therefore, Wilmington, North Carolina, will be the main shooting location for Steel 3.

Shao Shuaijun, who was going to stand on a stand during the Women's Federation 2 promotion, unexpectedly received a call from Kevin Feiji, and there was a problem with the steel 3 team.

"Shao, Shane Black may withdraw from the director group of Steel 3, and we have serious differences in the communication of the script."

"What's going on?" Shao Shuaijun asked in confusion, "What can go wrong with the steel 3 script? Hasn't the general framework been drawn up?"

"It's about the villainous character'Mandarin'. Shane insisted that Mandarin be the villain's protagonist. However, you know, Manchuria has Chinese ancestry. We are worried that this will cause resistance from the Chinese side. So, what we talked about was not very pleasant. , Shane is no longer a qualified candidate."

Manchu, this is an early character in Marvel comics, which appeared as early as 1964. In the comics, he is the descendant of Genghis Khan, the richest man in China before liberation. After the founding of New China, the Mandarin was expelled, and then he found an alien spaceship buried for many years and got ten rings to control the spaceship. Cultivation, martial arts success, from then on the road to revenge and dominance.

In the comics, the Mandarin has always been Iron Man's enemy.

"Isn’t that right, the Manchus will no longer appear as the negative leaders? Although I don’t think the Manchus has any ugly image of China, the background of the Manchus is too mysterious and not in line with the trend. Why does Shane want to stand up? Your lord is the villain?"

"Who knows how he got his brains, Shao, Shane left the position of director, would you like to come back to direct "Iron Man 3"?" Kevin said his final intention.

Shao Shuaijun shook his head, thinking that Kevin could not see it, and said: "I have a lot of work this year. The four magical series can't do without me. I will take another shot of Gang 3, and some of them will be busy. Go ask Jon. Fei Ru."

"Jon has taken Disney's "Magic Empire"."

"Where is Joe Johnston?" Joe Johnston is the director of "Captain America."

"Joe's style is not suitable for Iron Man."

"Where is Kenneth Branagh?" Kenneth Branagh is the director of Thor.

"Kenneth is not suitable for directing superhero movies, "Thor" is not well-known, otherwise we will not be replaced in "Thor 2: Dark World"."

"Is there no suitable candidate for other directors?"

Kevin sighed on the phone: "Shao, I don't want to trouble you, but Steel 3 is about to start shooting. Where can we find a director who is willing to take over the film temporarily. If you don't know another director, you have to Re-accepting the Marvel Cinematic Universe project, we can't afford to delay this time, and the publicity was released. "Iron Man 3" did not come out, and the entire second ensemble plan was seriously disrupted."

"So, I have to clean up the mess?"

"Shao, we all work for you, can you see the Marvel Cinematic Universe project fail?"

"Oh, well, we attended the launch conference of Women's Federation 2. Let's talk about steel 3."

Shao Shuaijun had no choice but to agree. He had already planned to take fewer movies and was busy with the four major magic series, and being with his family. Now he is busy again.
