Director’s Legend

After the logos of Radio and Television Dragon Logo and Chasing Dream Entertainment, Xu Zheng’s voice spoke eloquently, telling the story of two monkeys that his teacher told. The monkeys are afraid of being eaten by tigers, so one is looking for food and the other is on guard. Over time, a group of monkeys will form, and then it will become a crowd.

The movie originated from a falcon capture, but the poacher played by Huang Bo was caught by the police, and he got all the stolen goods. In order to kill people, the poacher boss drove over the police car and the policeman died on the spot. Afterwards, the lawyer played by Xu Zhen was invited to file a lawsuit for the poacher boss... (The movie is still in theaters, so I won't spoil it)

This is the obliteration and degeneration of human nature, and it also projects the most brilliant side of human nature in the darkest time.

In particular, Xu Zheng killed a policeman in order to save the dancing girl.

Such a conflict suddenly casts a deeper meaning on the whole movie. What is the point of killing another person in order to save one person?

The poacher boss insisted on his own dark principles under the inhumane nature; the truck brothers insisted on their selfishness and loyalty under the arrogant personality; even if the poachers were injured, they could not change their unruly nature; Below are all kinds of distorted values.

All kinds of human weaknesses are most intuitively and nakedly displayed in the 410 kilometers of no man's land.

When Xu Zhen lit the lighter, the truck exploded, and banknotes all over the sky burned in the fire.

He made good on his own understanding, about the monkey's story told by the teacher.

"The reason why people evolve into humans is not because people like to pair up and abandon selfishness. It's because people have learned to use fire."

But Xu Zhen still got it wrong after all.

Some people have learned to use fire, he is not yet a human being.

Some people are human not because they have learned how to use fire.

After all, only by abandoning selfishness can we show the brilliance of human nature.

When banknotes dance in the sky.

Shao Shuaijun just wanted to applaud. This is the original version of the script of "No Man's Land", and it is also the complete ending of this story. The bad guys are dead, and the evil and the good are also in the fire. Burned with the banknotes. Only one dancing girl who can't be said to be good or corrupt is left.

Watching everything happen alone and helpless. And powerless to change.

This is the story of "No Man's Land". So, when the movie re-adds the ending. The dancing girl is reborn. When there was applause in the cinema. Shao Shuaijun was still slightly regretful. This was supposed to be a film noir as good as No Country for Old Men.

But this ending is just a good wish to comfort and comfort everyone, and it cannot be compared with what I will talk about earlier. Play a chemical reaction at the deepest level, and can't hit people's hearts deeper.

Amid the applause, Ning Hao walked up with the microphone, and said a little excitedly, "We are a generation living after the reform and opening up. The biggest change of this generation is that we don't talk about ideals, beliefs, or political demands. , the driving force is the individual desire and the society, and all the contradictions are the contradictions between the individual desire and the collective desire. I think the problem is too simple now, it is the pursuit of interests, which is so simple that it is a bit strange. Therefore, "Nobody "Zone" is also talking about such a thing, talking about human nature."

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to continue speaking, Ning Hao seemed to be sorting out his words: "In fact, we had already worked out this script two years ago. Now movies, it's very different. We thought about letting Yu Nan (playing the dancer) kill the bad guy at the end, but then the ending would be violent to end everything, without a deep theme... anyway, " No Man's Land expresses the story I want to tell, and that's enough, thank you."

After the movie ended, Shao Shuaijun, Ning Hao and others returned to the company.

"Lao Ning, you can edit another version. I think this movie is very good, and the theme of the story is interesting. Let me run it and test the waters in the United States. If the potential can be tapped, I will also do it for you to enter the American market. warm up."

"In the U.S.?"

"Yeah, "No Man's Land" has the style of a western film. The narrative and structure are good. It should be able to gain a large number of audiences in North America. Of course, the last ending, it's best to delete it. It feels a bit redundant. Just treat it as a movie pure film noir to operate."

Ning Hao was a little excited: "When will it work? Do you want me to trim it now?"

"There's no rush, it's already March. If it's released in April, it's too late for publicity, and May will be the summer vacation. The pressure of competition is too great. Let me imagine that it will be released around ** month. But Lao Ning, you have to do a good job." Prepare, Summit Entertainment's operational capabilities are not strong, we still need to order a few screenings to test the waters, if not successful, we can only retreat."

"I know this. I don't have any mood to continue shooting recently. First, I will modify the lens and try to make up for it. It is more in line with European and American tastes."

After talking about No Man's Land with Ning Hao, Shao Shuaijun went to his office. Tonight he would calm down and read the script submitted by the Youth Guild. To be honest, although he wants to support young directors, there are really not many young directors in China who are talented and not crooked.

There are more than 20 scripts, but few of them actually tell the story.

After seeing twelve o'clock in the evening, Shao Shuaijun couldn't stand it any longer. At this time, a script titled "Nightclub" came into view.

""Night.club"?" Shao Shuaijun was slightly surprised, and then flipped through the script. It really was the low-budget comedy in his previous life. It was a very good movie, especially when he saw that the script was submitted by Yang Qinghou, so he was even more convinced. Immediately, Shao Shuaijun put the script on the other side.

The appearance of "Night Shop" made Shao Shuaijun slightly refreshed, and asked his assistant to bring a midnight snack, and continued to read the script. Soon, another script titled "A Beautiful Life" attracted Shao Shuaijun's attention, and the submitter was Zhang Mo.

"Zhang Mo, Zhang Yimou's daughter?" Shao Shuaijun looked at the script, which told a love story.

Li Peiru, a "Hong Kong girl" who came to Beijing for the Nuggets from Hong Kong, happened by chance. Met the policeman Fang Zhendong. Li Peiru is under tremendous pressure in life, hoping to trade his youth for his family in exchange for a life without worrying about food and clothing. Fang Zhendong, who was abandoned by his wife, lives with his younger brother Fang Zhencong, who has interpersonal barriers.

Perhaps it is the attraction of lonely temperament, or it is fate, the two are attracted to each other and get closer day by day. Peiru needs investment to start his business, and Zhencong and Xiaowan are getting married, Fang Zhendong does not hesitate to sell his ancestral home, but Peiru suddenly disappears due to bad business.

At this time, Zhendong was found to be suffering from cerebrovascular amnesia, and soon lost his job. The life of Zhendong's family suddenly fell into a predicament. Peiru, who returned to Hong Kong, found that she could never forget Zhendong. So he returned to Beijing and found Zhendong after several twists and turns, only to find that Zhendong was seriously ill at this time.

This time, Pei Ru didn't flinch. She chooses to accompany her lover...

Several times of wind and rain. Peiru decides to take care of him. Marry him and have children. As Zhendong's memory begins to fade, Zhendong will always forget the one he loves one day. Pei Ru and Zhen Cong still stick to him, go through many difficulties, and welcome the real "beautiful life".

"The script is good, very touching." Shao Shuaijun put the script and "Night Club" together after reading it.

After reading more than twenty scripts, only these two attracted him.

Take a night off.

The next day, Shao Shuaijun immediately notified the other members of the Youth Dare League, and passed on his nominations for "Night Club" and "Life is Beautiful" to the judges: "I think these two films are very good, you should watch them, each Let me express my opinion, I will go to the United States in two days, it is best to have a meeting within three days to confirm whether I can invest."

After finishing the script, what Shao Shuaijun has to do now is to count the money.

"Inception" has basically reached the end of the box office, except for a few regions, North America and the mainland have already sold out. The current global box office is 920.1 million U.S. dollars, which is still the tenth place in the world. "Finding Nemo" with 921.4 million U.S. dollars is temporarily ranked eleventh in the world's total box office.

But there is only a difference of 13 million US dollars. In the future, it will not be a problem to surpass "Finding Nemo". Some media have already directly shouted out the banner of the world's top ten.

The global total is 920.1 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 6.8 billion yuan. The box office share of Dream Chasing Entertainment is about 2.6 billion yuan. One movie earns 2.6 billion yuan, which even surpasses the total box office revenue of the mainland for the whole year. Countless people are going crazy with envy of Shao Shuaijun, because Shao Shuaijun's personal salary has also been announced by the media, and he gets 10% of the box office share, which is 300 million RMB.

It has become the world's top director's salary.

Of course, this kind of comparison is meaningless. The film was invested by Shao Shuaijun, so getting more and getting less is not a matter of casual talk.

The key is that his company has made money and has become a real entertainment oligarch. The largest private entertainment company in China is Dream Chaser, which is Huayi Brothers. After years of hard work, it is only 1.5 billion. One film by Shao Shuaijun is equivalent to earning two Huayi Brothers. Therefore, Wang Zhonglei wailed after a certain drink: "The biggest mistake was not being able to hold Shao Shuaijun, and the biggest mistake was not being able to invest in "Inception"!"

On March 2, 2008, Chasing Dream Golden Harvest experienced many changes, and finally officially issued additional shares today. In addition to companies and individuals who have already booked to buy stocks, among Hong Kong stocks, they were immediately snapped up as soon as they were launched. In just a few days, they soared 20 times.

Originally, the market value of Chasing Dream Golden Harvest was more than one billion. After the success of "Inception", the market value has increased to about three billion. Now, it has directly doubled by 20 times, with a market value of 60 billion. Not only the success of the film industry, but also Alipay's strong ability to attract money, and a series of Internet services under Mtime.com.

Time scarf, time yy, time video, time community, time novels, time games, relying on the strong industrial chain layout of chasing dream entertainment, have all become the leaders of the domestic Internet. Because of the dream-chasing artists and the artists who made good friends with the company, all the time scarves moved in, directly killing Shenma's new wolf scarf, penguin scarf, and rotten fox scarf.

Time yy also relied on the continuous gathering of singers and online concerts, as well as focusing on game communication, and its registered users exceeded 300 million, becoming the second largest instant messaging software after Penguin Koukou. Time Video even relied on sharing various works under Dream Chasing, as well as the copyrights of American TV series and British TV series acquired by Summit Entertainment, which directly broke the foundation of the emergence of other video websites.

Shiguang Community appeared in imitation of Facebook, but this is the home of the Chinese people, and Facebook could not occupy the mainland market at all, not to mention Shenma Renren and Youyou.com, all of which were annihilated by the power of Time Community. The advantages of Time Fiction are not very obvious, but with the help of the big diggers and the cooperation with China Mobile in the development of wireless, it is also flourishing.

The development of time games is also very good. Shao Shuaijun is not a person who loves to play games, and all he hears are those smash hit games. For example, Happy Farm, Plants vs. Zombies, Angry Birds, and the extremely popular cf, lol, and dnf. If you can develop it yourself, you can develop it yourself. If you can’t, you plan to buy it directly. .

In short, the current Dream Chasing Golden Harvest has main industries and future potential industries, and its prospects are generally optimistic. The market value will definitely increase. Sixty billion is not the limit, it's just now.

"A new batch of multi-millionaires and billionaires has been born!"

The next day, "News Broadcast" reported on the grand listing of Chasing Dream Golden Harvest, with a market value of 60 billion, which is still steadily increasing. As long as the shareholding or options reach 1/1000, or even 1/1000, you are a billionaire.

This new batch of billionaires includes: Li Xiuxiu, General Manager of Chasing Dream Entertainment, Yi Jianmei, General Manager of Chasing Dream Golden Harvest, Wang Wei, General Manager of Chasing Dream Film and Television Company, Wang Ziwen, Chasing Dream TV Drama Production Company, Liu Zhiqiang, General Manager of Chasing Dream Advertising Company, Ma Rila, general manager of Mtime.com, Qin Tian, ​​general manager of Dream Music, and Ma Hu, general manager of Dream Culture Brokerage, and other executives.

As well as artists and celebrities who hold shares, including Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Li Bingbing, Wang Yixue and so on. Of course, those second-generation officials who supported each other have also become billionaires, and will work harder to clear up relationships and escort for Chasing Dream Entertainment in the future.

Some financial people have analyzed Shao Shuaijun's shares. Shao Shuaijun occupies an absolute shareholding in Chasing Dream Entertainment Group, which is about 80% of the shares. Chasing Dream Entertainment occupies 60% of the shares of Chasing Dream Golden Harvest, and the rest is occupied by other companies and listed tradable shares. In other words, Shao Shuaijun's shares in Chasing Dream Golden Harvest are about 48%, which is 30 billion worth.

This does not include the value of Summit Entertainment in North America. After all, Summit Entertainment has not yet been listed, and the capital expansion is not obvious.

"The new richest man in the mainland comes from the entertainment industry!"

"Pursuing the dream and setting sail in the pan-entertainment strategy, Shao Shuaijun's movie kingdom rises!"

"The youngest grassroots richest man, he represents the take-off of the Chinese dream!"

"Shao Shuaijun: I am further ahead than the times."

The outside world is disturbing, but Shao Shuaijun still sits firmly on Mount Tai. On March 5th, at the Kunlun International Hotel, the "Inception" celebration banquet was held. (to be continued..)
