Director’s Legend

Make up an update on the 23rd, and the recommendation for the next week is not strong, I hope friends can help and give some recommendations.

———————————————

"Hero" is rampant in North America, making Zhang Yimou and the people of the country proud, while "People on the Journey" is rampant in China. Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" began to lack stamina, but "On the Journey" is still strong. It won 13 million again in the third week, and the total box office has accumulated to 53 million.

Numerous media shouted that the era of Shao Shuaijun's comedy is coming.

First, "Crazy Stone" directed by Shao Shuaijun performed a miracle of breaking 100 million, and then "Crazy Racing", which was written and invested, hit 150 million yuan. Now the screenwriter's work "On the Journey" is coming fiercely, although it is unlikely to break 100 million. Big sales and big hits are inevitable.

Three comedies in two years, plus "Golden Robbery", which is still being filmed and is about to hit the Spring Festival, and four comedies, occupy 70% of the entire Chinese film comedy market, and Feng's humor does not have such a dominant force. Of these four comedies, only one was directed by Shao Shuaijun himself, but the other three were written and invested by Shao Shuaijun, so they naturally belonged to Shao Shuaijun.

"We are very pleased to see that the fifth generation of directors is leading the tide, the sixth generation of directors is beginning to show their talents, and the new generation of directors also has such outstanding talents as Shao Shuaijun. The rise of Chinese-language films is just around the corner. We have reason to believe that in the In the near future, Chinese films will surely stand on the world stage and spread China to the world."

During the filming break of the crew, Shao Shuaijun picked up a newspaper and looked at it with gusto. The fourth week of "On the Journey" finally showed signs of fatigue. The number of viewers and the number of screenings dropped sharply. It is expected that it can win a box office of about 5 million at most. , accumulated the total box office to 58 million, surpassing Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" with a box office of 53 million, and became the seventh highest box office in the mainland in 2005.

In the front row, the first is "Crazy Racing" with 150 million, followed by "Source Code" with 98 million, "Seven Swords" starring Li Ming and Zhen Bullet with 83.45 million, followed by "Star Wars Episode 3: West Smith's Revenge" with 75.54 million, followed by "Initial D" starring Jay Chou with 63 million, and then "Operation Smith" with 62 million.

Of course, Brother Chen Kai's blockbuster "The Promise", which claims to have an investment of 350 million yuan, Brother Cheng Long's latest masterpiece "Mythology", the new versions of "King Kong" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which are popular in North America, and Ning Hao's blockbuster "Golden Robbery" Case", will compete in this year's Spring Festival file. In Shao Shuaijun's memory, none of these films had a low box office. Although the blockbuster "The Promise" was badly made, it also earned more than 170 million at the box office.

This year's Spring Festival file is the fiercest competition over the years.

In addition, Wang Yixue's debut work "Du Lala's Promotion" was also placed high hopes by Shao Shuaijun, hoping to achieve better results than "On the Journey".

Regarding the box office, Shao Shuaijun fantasized for a moment, and was attracted by a piece of news in the newspaper. Director Li An won the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture at this year's 62nd Venice Film Festival with "Brokeback Mountain".

"This year is the Golden Lion Award, and next year it will be the Oscars. The first Chinese Oscar for best director is really enviable."

Shao Shuaijun admires the gentle and elegant Li An, who is also a director who focuses on making movies. The films produced really explore their own ideas, rather than being kitsch in Europe and the United States. This alone has killed Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige at a level.

"Time flies so fast, more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the time left for me is getting less and less. After "Painted Skin", my speed will be accelerated!"

After closing the newspaper, Shao Shuaijun picked up the loudspeaker again, and shouted loudly: "Have you rested enough? Hurry up and work!"

Time flies in September, "People on the Journey" was released for a month, and it was officially released, with a total box office of 58.5 million, which was about the same as expected. After deducting the share, Shao Shuaijun's studio got a profit of 22 million. The studio paid dividends again, Shao Shuaijun got 12 million, and everyone else got a lot of big red envelopes.

However, this will also be the studio's last film dividend. After "On the Journey", Shao Shuaijun's studio has been completely reduced to a production studio and will no longer participate in film investment.

"People on the Journey" is over, the box office is a hit, and the schedule for the sequel is also on the desk, but Xu Zhen didn't choose to shoot the sequel immediately.

"Ah Jun, making one movie is more tiring than making ten TV series. "People on the Journey" made me exhausted. I really don't understand how you can handle it after making one movie after another. I want to Let’s breathe. I’ve discussed with Xiaolongnv that we don’t plan to plan the sequel of "On the Journey" now, and we will go to some plays and act first, and do some light work."

On the phone, Xu Zhan obviously thought it over.

Shao Shuaijun smiled: "Old Xu, this is in line with my opinion. "People on the Journey" has just finished its release, and after all, only a small number of people go to the cinema to watch it. After DVD and pirated editions become popular, train them for two or three years. , the volume of the market is getting bigger and bigger, and the benefits will be maximized by shooting sequels at that time. Moreover, no matter whether it is Shao Shuaijun’s studio or Dengtian Shuaijun, there is no independent channel, and they need to be controlled by others. When I make the company independent , We really became the boss ourselves, and that’s when we invested heavily, haha.”

"I think so, haha."

Hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun smiled. The miracle of the sequel "Tai囧" is to be firmly in his hands and not let others share the cake. The current companies and movies are all about making small troubles. It is necessary to let others take advantage of it. How can a child trap a wolf if he is reluctant? If you want to have your own channels and roads, you need to consolidate them step by step.

But now, a new path appeared in front of Shao Shuaijun.

Wanda is about to enter the national cinema system.

This was a huge opportunity. When Shao Shuaijun heard the news, he immediately called for Li Xiuxiu and said only one thing. Regardless, get involved. For this reason, the North American Twilight Saga Company sold the publishing rights of the "Twilight Saga" series of novels in advance, cashed in 30 million US dollars, and was ready to invest in Wanda Cinemas at any time.

Before Wanda discussed the cooperation, Shao Shuaijun handed over the crew to Qian Yongqiang for temporary management, and quietly came to Hong Kong. The contact between Li Xiuxiu and Zou Daheng has been progressing slowly. Shao Shuaijun was aroused by the Wanda Cinemas, and he couldn't wait to slowly dally with Jiahe.

Coming here this time is to reach an agreement, if Daheng Zou is willing to sell, then we can talk slowly. If Zou Daheng is unwilling, Shao Shuaijun will give up immediately and concentrate on participating in Wanda Cinemas.

Li Xiuxiu was in Hong Kong and met Shao Shuaijun at the airport.

"Sister Xiuxiu, you've worked hard this time, come, give me a hug as a thank you."

Shao Shuaijun is now a public figure. "Source Code" has made him familiar to the public, and he has a considerable number of fans in Hong Kong. If he is recognized by fans, it will be very troublesome, causing others to speculate and track him down. purpose of Hong Kong. He was here to intercept Hu Jiahe, so he naturally had to dress up in disguise, wearing a peaked cap, toad mirror, and a large T-shirt that was very popular recently, and he was quite hip-hop.

"Oh, what kind of bad boy."

Li Xiuxiu avoided Shao Shuaijun's embrace, laughing nonstop.
