""Iron Man 3" has a global gross of 13.9 billion US dollars, ranking fourth in the box office of global film history. Together with "The Avengers", it has become the best-selling movie directed by Shao Shuaijun! Two Cameron films, two Shao Shuaijun films, new and old world The king has dominated the movie box office charts!"

"Time" reported a news. As of July 3, "Iron Man 3" was officially released worldwide, setting multiple box office records. Among them, US$436.98 million was made in North America, surpassing "et aliens" and becoming the ninth in North American film history. The global box office has also surpassed "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)", becoming the fourth in global film history.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe project, Shao Shuaijun created two movies with a box office of more than 1 billion US dollars. The brilliant achievements are simply amazing. Leaving aside word-of-mouth, just from the box office, the famous Christopher Nolan was thrown away. Shao Shuaijun's global box office total is now $71.4 billion, second only to Spielberg, who has two more films released, raising his personal record to $86.6 billion.

Spielberg is in his seventies and eighties, and Shao Shuaijun is less than thirty years old. Surpassing Spielberg is something that can be done with eyes closed.

"Shao Shuaijun will be the most "excellent" commercial director on this planet, and everyone can match him!"

"People" magazine chose Shao Shuaijun as the cover character of this issue, and described in detail Shao Shuaijun's road to fame, and his earth-shaking rise in less than ten years. The media's reports on Shao Shuaijun are not new, that is, those stories are copied over and over again.

But don't say it, readers just like to read this kind of story, and they can't get tired of reading any report related to Shao Shuaijun. Sales will increase. And if by chance some of his fresh stories are reported, it's even better, and it's sure to sell out.

Of course, the underpainting of "Iron Man 3" is nothing new. A small number of media are holding on to Shao Shuaijun. Most of the media reported on the current North American box office competition.

A global masterpiece, the highly anticipated sequel "Despicable Me 2", a Disney annual blockbuster, "The Lone Ranger" with an investment of 2.5 billion US dollars, everyone believes that this will be an earth-shattering box office war. All contemporary films die miserably. [

The Chinese magic movie with a good reputation, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" is no exception.

However, there is a word in this world called "unexpected", and there are two names called "parallel imports" and "dark horse". Joy is always everywhere, making people unpredictable.

The small-scale "Kevin Hart: I'm Only Laughing" took in $10.1 million from 876 theaters. Let the film party be overjoyed. "Superman: Man of Steel" took another $11.01 million in the fourth week, accumulating $2.6 billion in North America. As a restarted version of the Superman series, it can be said that it has fulfilled its scheduled tasks in a satisfactory manner.

"Monsters University", "Doomsday War", and "Shocking Crisis" are all in the box office range of 10 to 20 million, and "Hot Hands" ranked fourth with 22 million US dollars. "Despicable Me 2" is indeed Universal's top-selling work, with US$81.5 million, it is proud of this week's box office list. As a cartoon, the box office is super perfect.

If the above movies are all expected, then the second and third places are hard to see through.

"The Lone Ranger" pitifully only earned $27.65 million, with a bad reputation and poor box office. It is definitely Disney's biggest money-loser this year. Even if Johnny Depp is the most expensive man in Hollywood, he can't change the ending of the movie.

"Legend of the White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake" abruptly overwhelmed "The Lone Ranger" and got 30.6 million US dollars, not only was it not caught in the blockbuster. On the contrary, it made a strong breakthrough, with a cumulative box office of 84.7 million US dollars in North America, and it is not difficult to break through 100 million. So far, the global box office has reached 37.1 billion US dollars, successfully surpassing "Old Boy" and becoming the top Chinese film box office champion.

""Despicable Me 2" met expectations. "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" was full of tenacity, and "The Lone Ranger" lost money and was ashamed. Chinese-language movies have temporarily ""shown" and Disney has become the biggest loser!" - "Hollywood Entertainment Reporter" .

Just when everyone started to make fun of "The Lone Ranger", Golden Harvest held a press conference in Hong Kong due to Xiaoqing's crazy box office power. The title of the press conference is the full launch ceremony of the first phase of the four major magic series. Many Chinese directors, as well as international directors such as James Cameron, attended the press conference.

The spokesperson is Yang Ying, with a beautiful ponytail: "I am very glad that friends from the media are here. This press conference has three themes. The first theme is to congratulate Director Chen Jia on "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake." ", has already won a global box office of 37.1 billion US dollars. Let me ask Director Chen to say a few words."

Chen Jiashang is a little bald, with a round face and a bright smile: "Recently, I have been the happiest in my life recently. As a director, people will always compare you with other directors, saying who won what awards, who won? How much box office did the film buy. As a director of the same generation as Shao Shuaijun and Li An, it is a very tragic thing. When it comes to directors who will win awards, everyone thinks of Li An first. When it comes to the director’s box office, everyone thinks I will be the first to think of Shao Shuaijun."

"However, now that everyone is talking about the box office, I can finally "insert" a sentence. That, the highest-grossing Chinese-language movie in the world was made by me, not Shao Shuaijun. Hehe, it’s really comfortable. Thank you Director Shao for inviting me Joining the four major magic series, during the filming process, gave me a lot of guidance, how to make a film more in line with the international trend, thank you Golden Harvest Entertainment for providing us with such a good shooting platform, thank you 2 and lm Waiting for the special effects company, your hard work has brought about the success of this movie, thank you to all the audience, your support is the source of motivation for our movies to continue to shoot good works."

"It seems that Director Chen is really happy, the smile on the corner of his mouth has not disappeared." Yang Ying took over the topic, "Director Chen has thanked so many people, as an audience, I also want to express my gratitude to Director Chen, You have dedicated a wonderful movie to us... The second topic is director James Cameron, who will direct "Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" in China in the future, and director Cameron will speak next."

Cameron does not speak English, so he said a translation: "I am very happy to be able to come to China to make a movie. I watched "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake", and I think the movie is more beautiful than I imagined. In this project, I feel honored from the bottom of my heart. I will work with everyone to complete "Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" and make a great movie."

Cameron's speech was very short, and he didn't mean to say more, so Yang Ying made up for it. Start the third topic. [

This topic is about Shao Shuaijun's new movie.

Shao Shuaijun said with a smile on his face: "I originally planned to make a movie first, and the name was already prepared, called "Yellow Emperor: The Battle for the Deer". I only started shooting when Director Chen's movie made money. But then I thought about it. I feel that it is a direct battle for the deer. It does not portray the image of the Yellow Emperor very well. As one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor bears a lot of reverence from us Chinese. I hope to portray him more fully and humanly. change."

"So, in the end, I decided to start from scratch and shoot a trilogy. It tells about the growth of Huangdi, the war between Yandi and Huangdi, and the war between Huangdi and Chiyou. The shooting method will be three consecutive shots to ensure that the film is in style and Continuity in the story."

"So, Director Shao, can you tell us about the story of the movie?" As soon as Shao Shuaijun finished speaking, the reporter couldn't wait to ask.

Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "The story of the movie is based on the legend of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors era. After adaptation, it may be slightly different from the legend."

"What are the names of the new trilogy?"

"It is tentatively scheduled to be the first "Yellow Emperor: The Rise of a Bear". The second "Yellow Emperor: The Battle of Yanhuang" and the third "Yellow Emperor: Dragon Totem"."

"How will the main actor be chosen?"

"The Yellow Emperor Trilogy will have a strong magical color, and the characters and animals will be contrary to reality. Therefore, 80% of the shots in the movie will be made with special effects, and the cost will be very high. Huge. So, my idea is that there is no need for stars, of course, if stars are willing to reduce their pay to participate in the movie. I welcome it very much. After the release, I will check the box office and maybe use red envelopes to make up for it.” Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.

The influence of Chinese stars in the world is too small, there is no difference between inviting them or not. Shao Shuaijun is not willing to waste money. If the star is willing to reduce the salary. It is worth considering, to become a star, the acting skills must be of a high standard.

The reporters asked one after another. However, "Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" and the Yellow Emperor Trilogy are still in the confidentiality stage, and they didn't reveal anything in depth. The two-hour press conference passed unknowingly. up.

Next, Shao Shuaijun officially launched the crew preparation and casting plan for the Yellow Emperor Trilogy.

The preparation of the crew is very simple, because it was determined very early.

The producers are Shao Shuaijun, James Cameron and Wang Wei, and Shao Shuaijun will also serve as the producer of "Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" for Cameron.

The director of the directing group is Shao Shuaijun, the executive director is Gao Zhisheng, the action directors are Dong Wei and Cheng Xiaodong, the assistant directors are Jiang Zhigang and Yang Ying, and the director assistant is Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang. Zhang Mo once directed "No Longer Let You Be Alone", and the box office was not bad, but the films he directed afterwards were so-so. This time, he came to apprentice.

The photography team is also an old acquaintance, Huang Yuetai, Lu Le and others who have worked with Shao Shuaijun on many films. The lighting team, props team, and makeup team are all those who have worked with them in the past. These people can be said to be Shao Shuaijun's team.

For this filming, China Film Group will cooperate with the film crew to assist in the arrangement of the venue and personnel. Moreover, not only Golden Harvest and Summit Entertainment participated in the capital investment, but also several other domestic film companies. The four major magic series are not dream chasing that can be eaten alone.

And chasing dreams has passed the stage of eating alone, and cooperation can win-win.

But no matter how much capital he has, only Shao Shuaijun is the biggest in the crew, and Shao Shuaijun has the final say on everything. This is the case with the casting, without Shao Shuaijun's consent, even if it is only a small role, no one else has the right to make a decision. In the past, Shao Shuaiju was still very easy-going. Generally speaking, for small roles, the decisions of the people below are also decided.

The Yellow Emperor trilogy is different. In Shao Shuaijun's mind, this will be an epoch-making Chinese drama, and there should be no flaws. Shao Shuaijun had to personally audition for every role.
