Director’s Legend

() Shao Shuaijun stood in front of the mirror, looked at the immature and young face in the mirror, for a long time, took a handful of clear water, and slapped his face vigorously. It has been determined that he was reborn from 2013 to 2004. This year, he just turned eighteen, and he was not admitted to any school in Shangxi, Zhongxi, or Nortel.

I am currently renting a house in a village not far from Hengdian. I usually do group performances for a living, and when I have free time, I teach myself how to direct. If he continues to follow the historical track, he will be an assistant director in the next few years, from group performances to field affairs, from lighting to props.

This assistant director has been working for more than three years, and has worked with seven production crews. Despite the hard life, Shao Shuaijun still persisted, hoping to be a director by himself one day. In 2013, he finally realized this wish, Dengtian Entertainment agreed to ask him to be the director of a movie.

From the finalization of the script to the setting of the shots, from the makeup of the actors to the selection of the scene, Shao Shuaijun only slept for three hours a day, and spent the rest of the time on the movie. A month later, the movie started, but the director was not him. After Shao Shuaijun finished all the preparations, Dengtian Entertainment temporarily changed the director, and replaced it with a new director born in the 90s.

The overwhelmed Shao Shuaijun got drunk and got into a car accident, and then came here on March 16, 2004.

The cold water made Shao Shuaijun wake up from his memories, and he was reborn anyway. After getting through the discomfort of the first few days, Shao Shuaijun began to examine his current situation. In his previous life, he was in the entertainment industry. Although he worked hard, he was dull by nature. He had no connections or background.

The director was temporarily replaced, and there was no one to help out with a word. His career in the entertainment industry was not without failure.

When he was just reborn, Shao Shuaijun also fantasized about relying on ten years of memory to make a fortune. But the dream was soon shattered, wasted for nearly ten years, except for directing skills, he knows nothing. I know that the stocks of Tencent, Google, and Facebook will rise, but I have no money in my pocket; I know that the World Cup is very popular, but I am not a fan, so I don’t know whether to win or lose; I know that the economic crisis is about to break out, but I forgot the specific year...

And the only thing he understands, and what he is most familiar with, is movies. He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has watched almost every popular movie hundreds of times, learning from the success, and imagining himself to make it. How to shoot. He even participated in the shooting of some hot movies.

After wiping his face, Shao Shuaijun was a little irritable.

If possible, he really doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry anymore. This is a circle with a bright surface and a dark inside, which is tiring. The behavior of Dengtian Entertainment shattered Shao Shuaijun's dream, and made him hate the entertainment industry all these years, and he began to hate it all.

"In fact, I just want to find a job, make money, and be filial to my parents! In my previous life, I only cared about my own work, and I didn't even have time to take care of my father in the hospital. I can't be an asshole in this life! But what else can I do? I didn't even go to college because of movies. , I went directly to Hengdian to do horizontal drifting... My only confidence is that I can make movies, ten years of memory, countless good movies..."

After breakfast, Shao Shuaijun finally made a decision.

Although he began to reject the entertainment industry, he still decided to make a movie. It was the only way he could make money, big money. God arranged for him to be reborn once, so live on and enjoy life!

To make a movie, you must first have a script, and Shao Shuaijun has a lot of it in his mind. The second is investment. Feeling that there was only 800 yuan in his pocket, Shao Shuaijun was speechless. Of course, he wasn't depressed. As a reborn, it was easy to make a little money.

According to the memory in his mind, Shao Shuaijun knew that the famous director Zhang Yimou had just finished filming "House of Flying Daggers", and the crew was shooting additional shots at the Hengdian film and television base, and he himself was also in Hengdian. Touching his chin, Shao Shuaijun took out a pen and paper and began to concentrate on creating.

What he wants to create is a script, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", which is a literary film script adapted from the novel of the same name. The novel of the same name was created in 2006. Once published, it attracted the attention of directors such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Li Yang, etc. Zhang Yimou finally snatched the copyright and made a movie.

As a literary film, it broke the record and won a box office of 160 million. "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was also studied by Shao Shuaijun for a long time. Of course, this movie is about love in the 1970s. Shao Shuaijun doesn't have a deep understanding of it, but it doesn't prevent him from writing it completely.

For three days in a row, the script of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" with Mo Xiang was freshly released. Shao Shuaijun put it in his arms, took care of his appearance, and went out. First go to the Hengdian Copyright Bureau to register the script, and then go to the filming location of "House of Flying Daggers". Banners have been drawn up on the filming site, and tourists are prohibited from entering. Shao Shuaijun is no exception, and there is no way to meet Zhang Yimou directly.

Shao Shuaijun could only give the script to Zhang Yimou's outreach assistant, write his name and contact address on the script, and then go home and wait. With the excellent script of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree", as long as Zhang Yimou saw it, he would definitely take the initiative to contact him. Shao Shuaijun is not in a hurry, he is now anxious to think about his first movie.

"Although the script is good, scripts for literary and artistic films are not expensive. The price is estimated to be 108,000 at most. Fortunately, 108,000 is almost enough to work on my own movie script."

After a while, Shao Shuaijun picked up a pen and wrote the title of the movie on the white paper - "Buried Alive". In the black movie directed by \u003ces, Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds (Ryan Reynolds) plays a contract truck driver who was kidnapped in Iraq. When he woke up, he found himself put in a coffin and buried alive in Iraq somewhere in the desert. All he has on hand is a lighter, a mobile phone, two light sticks, a flashlight that flickers on and off, and a pen.

This is probably the smallest thriller. The whole story of "Buried Alive" takes place in a coffin. Then the entire 94-minute movie saw Paul keep calling for help in the coffin and negotiating with the kidnappers. If you don’t count the woman shot to death in the mobile phone video, all the actors in this film are Reynolds alone, plus a snake that slipped into the coffin halfway. Even the small-budget movie miracle "Ghost Story" has a house as the background of the story, and several people appear on the scene. "Buried Alive" is simply the simplest and low-carbon movie.

The original production cost of this movie was almost 2 million US dollars. Of course, this refers to the salary of the leading actor Ryan Reynolds. Shao Shuaijun did the math, 10,000 RMB is enough for props and equipment, and if the picture is packaged more carefully, plus the travel expenses for sales promotion, it can be done within 50,000 RMB.

The only big expense is the actors. Even if they don't ask for a high box office, Shao Shuaijun still has to find an actor with acting skills, plus a woman who is fleeting...
