Director’s Legend

0214 【Determine new direction】

After the meeting.

News of Shao Shuaijun's appearance also spread, and countless reporters blocked outside Dream Chasing Entertainment Company, wanting to interview him. However, Shao Shuaijun has not yet figured out how to face the reporters' remarks. He did not leave the company and discussed the matter with Li Xiuxiu in the office.

"Sister Xiuxiu, what do you think we should postpone the listing?"

"Delay the launch?"

"Yes, the loss of "Nighthawk" has been a big blow to Dream Chaser. It will at least reduce our financing by half. If it can be a big hit, we will have no problem raising 10 billion now, but now the most ideal effect is That’s seven to eight billion, which is too far from what we imagined.”

Li Xiuxiu asked while peeling the apple: "So what do you mean?"

"I want to make another big production to make up for the loss of The Nighthawks."

"Or a big Hollywood production?"

"Yes."

Li Xiuxiu stared into Shao Shuaijun's eyes and asked carefully: "Have you thought clearly?"

"It's never been clearer. I told you, some movies are like a flash of light. They're there and I just need to get them. This one is a flash of light. I'm sure it won't be like "The Nighthawks." If it loses money, it will shock the world!" Shao Shuaijun said seriously, "This is a movie about dreams. I can't judge how much investment it will cost now, but 100 million US dollars will definitely be indispensable. Sister Xiuxiu, do you think my idea will It’s not too crazy, I just lost a lot of money and now I’m thinking about making a big deal again.”

After peeling the apple, Li Xiuxiu handed it to Shao Shuaijun, waiting for Shao Shuaijun to pick it up. He retracted his hand and took a bite himself: "If you want to eat it, you can cut it yourself! You, you, only the devil can know how crazy your idea is. One hundred million dollars. If you say it, I'm afraid that other people in the company will be scared to death."

"It is indeed crazy, but I really want to shoot it now. I no longer blindly think that it will be successful. I have analyzed a lot. I can say that I have been thinking about this script for more than five or six years. It is not "The Nighthawks" Such a heroic blockbuster. But a very magical science fiction film. Sister Xiuxiu, you will support me in filming, right?" When talking about this script, Shao Shuaijun was full of energy, because this was in his opinion. In all science fiction films. The coolest script ever.

"Oh. If you become stubborn, who can stop you. Ah Jun, you know that I have always supported you. I hope you can tell me. You decided to shoot this movie after careful consideration, and It’s not about fighting against yourself. Then I can feel at ease to persuade others for you.”

Closing his eyes, Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "I know that some time ago, I behaved very badly and was impetuous and arrogant. I don't do that anymore. I know how I want to do things and what path is best for me. I raised my head and stared into the distance, ignoring my feet. Now I can clearly see the road under my feet, and I will see further!"

"This is the Shao Shuaijun I am familiar with. He is confident and calm, just like when he told me on the streets of Phoenix that he wanted to conquer the world." Li Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Shao Shuaijun stood up and looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows. The Dream Chaser Film and Television Base was about to be completed. The accommodation building had begun to be renovated, and the office building had begun to install doors and windows. 50 acres of land had been decorated into a garden, with a playground and a swimming pool. A conservative estimate is that the value of this piece of land has quadrupled in two years, and the price is still rising rapidly.

"My confidence before came from believing that I could do anything. Now my confidence comes from..."

Turning around, Shao Shuaijun looked at Li Xiuxiu seriously: "It comes from you, sister Xiuxiu. It is your silent efforts behind the scenes that allow me to have everything, to have a foundation that is squandered, and to be myself to the fullest. I can't think about it, if not Knowing you, my world would be such a mess. No matter I am proud or frustrated, you are always by my side."

"Hey, it doesn't have to be so touching."

"The movie I want to make this time may cost more than 100 million U.S. dollars. If it fails, it will definitely cause huge losses to the company. It will even be unable to recover. Sister Xiuxiu, I am willing to accompany me, no matter whether my dream sinks or sinks. Or sail and follow me, no matter whether you live a wandering life or a bungalow?"

"No matter how nonsense, I am willing to help you convince the company executives. Don't you understand what I mean?" Li Xiuxiu feigned anger.

"Haha, aren't I showing my true feelings? Let's cultivate the atmosphere. Then, sister Xiuxiu, you should jump into my arms, and then we, hehe, kiss, right?"

Li Xiuxiu rolled her eyes, and then suddenly the host, Shao Shuaijun, kissed her gently on the shoulder.

Perhaps I had eaten an apple just now, and there was a faint aroma.

It receded like a dragonfly splashing water.

Smiling, Li Xiuxiu straightened her hair: "Okay, I'll reward you with a kiss for being so sensational. Think about your script carefully, and I'll help you lobby."

After Li Xiuxiu left, the warmth of the office seemed to slowly disappear. Shao Shuaijun suppressed his smile, picked up the pen and paper on the table, and tapped lightly. The failure of "The Night Watcher" is a page of history that cannot be erased. Shao Shuaijun admitted that this was his biggest failure, and he also knew how the outside world ridiculed him.

He also knows that people who care about him must be under pressure for him. His parents and sister often called him to comfort him by chatting about family issues.

This feeling of being cared for is wonderful. It makes Shao Shuaijun feel warm, but it is also a great burden. Sometimes, he is really not good at expressing his feelings and responding to this kind of concern.

Therefore, he hopes to dispel the haze hanging over his head and return his life to normal. He is still that amazing young director who still makes his family and friends proud. So where he fell, he had to get up. He had to conquer Hollywood to make everyone forget the worries of yesterday.

The failure of "The Night Watcher" is not without merit. At least he accumulated a lot of experience in shooting with IMAX cameras. This is valuable experience that no one can teach. At the same time, he has also figured out the twists and turns of making movies in Hollywood. He is confident that now he can shoot some classic movies more perfectly.

In the reproduction of these blockbusters, he must shoot with heart, experience and comprehend with heart, and one day he will be truly qualified, instead of being like the director of "The Night Watcher" who only shakes half a bottle without shaking it.

"I seem to remember that Nolan once gave an interview and said that he had written this script ten years ago, which means that I have to solve the problem of the script now that I am filming. I must meet Nolan and buy it from him. Script. I believe he will be willing to sell it as long as the price is right. Besides, he also has to film "The Dark Knight" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and there is no time to film this script now."

After thinking about it, Shao Shuaijun took up a pen and wrote four big characters on the paper.

Inception. (To be continued...)
