Director’s Legend

The China Young Pioneer Directors Alliance is a joint-stock company. Chasing Dream Entertainment invested 20 million yuan to occupy 50% of the shares, and the rest is shared equally by several other companies. This company is not for profit. It was an idea of ​​Shao Shuaijun at the beginning. At the beginning, he felt that the younger generation of directors were not easy to work hard. Shao Shuaijun thought about it. A plan to support mainland directors.

However, some unpleasant things happened to the share of "Source Code", and Shao Shuaijun's contacts were not enough at that time, so the matter was put on hold. It was not mentioned again until Dream Chasing Entertainment was established. After several discussions, it was finally decided to set up the Young Directors Alliance and invited several large companies to run it together.

After the announcement of the three plans and the group photo, the leaders and bosses went to the box, Shao Shuaijun returned to the rostrum, and was interviewed by reporters with the main creators of "33 Days of Broken Love". This is today's theme.

Since Shao Shuaijun let go of the story before, no reporter dared to ask about the black story of the box office, and the artistic debate about the film was rarely mentioned. All concentrated on the lace news of the movie.

Some reporters asked why they were looking for young actors to take on big roles instead of using stars.

Shao Shuaijun replied: "The big production of "Painted Skin" exhausted me. All aspects must be coordinated, especially the artist's schedule, which requires repeated scrutiny and consumes a lot of energy. In fact, I made "33 Days of Broken Love" for myself. Relax, Liu Shishi, Wen Zhang, Yang Ying, and Chen He are all students who haven't graduated yet. I can scold them as much as I want, and let them come when they want. I feel that filming at this time is really a pleasure, haha. "

So a reporter asked whether Shao Shuaijun was a tyrant on the set. Liu Shishi smiled and said, "The director is actually a very gentle person. As long as you complete the filming according to what he said, he usually doesn't swear. Of course, if you make a mistake and get arrested, the director has a Nicknamed Subwoofer, it can shame you to death."

Yang Ying also said: "Sometimes the director is obviously wrong, we have to criticize ourselves, and then praise the director's wisdom. You just need to find the trick to deal with him, follow his words, and then flatter you, everything will be fine, ok. "

"Heh, let me tell you this, I am not a tyrant on the set at all, but a fool on the set." Shao Shuaijun saw that everyone was mercilessly exposing himself, and felt that he had to stop it, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Ying like a pistol. "Yang Ying, how much is one plus one?"

Yang Ying immediately said, "Two."

"Boom!" Shao Shuaijun pretended to shoot, and then blew on his fingers, "You know too much."

After it was over, no one responded, just staring blankly, not understanding what he was doing. Shao Shuaijun blushed, coughed and said, "This is a joke, uh, okay, let's continue the interview." He seemed to be trying to play a humorous role, but in the end he couldn't grasp the atmosphere, and the scene became cold.

"Director Shao, the joke just now was really funny." A reporter slapped a perfunctory flattery with a blank face, "Painted Skin has been confirmed to meet the audience in the summer, may I ask if it will be released simultaneously in North America this time?"

"It's possible. The details are still being discussed. We have already talked with Lionsgate several times. If we reach an agreement on the fee and share, it will be released simultaneously in North America."

"So, after "33 Days of Broken Relationship", does Director Shao have any new film plans?"

"I don't know." Shao Shuaijun didn't tell the truth. Although he intends to go to the United States to direct a film, there are too many variables. After all, the United States is different from China. He is a foreigner in the United States.

...

The celebration banquet ended quietly while Shao Shuaijun was drunk.

If we talk about the previous debate, some people would still not know how to praise and bombard Shao Shuaijun. However, after Mtime.com and the Young Directors Alliance launched the two major weapons, the sudden shutdown of Shao Shuaijun was surprisingly effective. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that once Mtime.com takes shape, once the Young Directors Alliance is established, offending Shao Shuaijun will not be worth the candle.

Mtime.com is a website in name, but it is obvious that it intends to integrate movie information and cooperate with the Film Bureau. After it is put into operation, it will definitely play a guiding role in the film market. On the surface, what Shao Shuaijun said was to let netizens evaluate their own opinions, but there are too many ways to influence movies.

For example, deliberately delaying the time for a movie to land on the website, deliberately guiding comments that are not conducive to the movie, or blocking a certain movie on the website, these are all Chiguoguo's big sticks. As a filmmaker, everyone knows that the word-of-mouth of a movie is very important, and the publicity during the release is also very important.

Mtime.com doesn't need to make big moves, if you get stuck for two or three days, it will make you feel bad and distressed.

If it does not cooperate with the Film Bureau and theaters, Mtime.com will not have such an effect. It is a pity that Shao Shuaijun is the first to cooperate with the Film Bureau and the major theaters to spread the influence of Mtime.com, and no one can stop it. Some filmmakers with foresight naturally retreated.

And the Young Directors Alliance is even more sharp. Let me ask you which director of the older generation does not have three or five apprentices. These apprentices are all learning to direct, but they rarely have the opportunity to make movies. As soon as the Young Directors' Alliance came out, these people still had to be overwhelmed, and it was too late to curry favor with Shao Shuaijun, so there was no way they would criticize them.

As a result, the debate that was raging and even shocked the "People's Daily" was collectively turned off after a few days after the celebration banquet held by Dream Chasing Company. Originally, few of these filmmakers really cared about the problem, they just showed their faces to expand their popularity, and there was no need to offend a rising star.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, Shao Shuaijun has become popular.

Therefore, the faction supporting Shao Shuaijun won the debate. Except for a few old stubborn people who were still stubbornly resisting, they all changed their minds to support the commercialization of film scheduling and the development of commercial films.

"The development of commercial films is a breakthrough for domestic films. I believe that Chinese films will flourish in the future." Zhang Jian changed his tone in an interview.

"I am very pleased to see that the mainland film market is becoming more and more open. "33 Days of Broken Love" has undoubtedly made a good start. I hope that the Young Directors Alliance can take care of Hong Kong. We also have many outstanding young directors in Hong Kong." Liu Zhenwei also changed It is quite fast, and his films have been released in the mainland in recent years, and they have achieved good box office. After seeing Shao Shuaijun's current influence, he tried to speak out to resolve his previous unfriendly attitude.

...

Shao Shuaijun, who was testing Mtime.com, looked at the newspaper brought by Wang Cuicui and sighed softly: "What is literature and art? What is business? Box office theory is the wrong criterion, and the so-called art theory is also wrong. Although I used Some methods have been used to force these people to bow their heads, but there is still a long way to go to change their deep-rooted ideas. I hope that as Zhang Jian said, Chinese movies will flourish in the future, and both literary and commercial films will flourish.”
