Director’s Legend

() "I am very happy to receive this award. From last year to this year, I have made three films, and the output is very high. Fortunately, it is a great encouragement for me to be recognized by everyone , I will continue to make more good movies and give back to everyone, thank you."

Before Shao Shuaijun opened his mouth, he thought about a lot of passionate speeches, but when he got on the stage, he couldn't say a word for some reason. After saying a few words in an old-fashioned way, he walked off the stage, disappointing many audiences who were waiting to hear his long speech. This young director is too low-key.

Anyway, the Beijing College Student Film Festival came to a successful conclusion. They avoided interviews from reporters and gathered for a meal in the capital, and everyone separated. Ning Hao led a group of people and began to study "The Golden Heist". Liu Yifei is not planning to take part in a TV movie this year, but will fly back to the United States to concentrate on studying dance and vocal music. Her agency, Red Starwood, has decided to prepare a music album for her to enter the music market.

Although he is not optimistic about Liu Yifei's development in the music scene, singing and dancing is Liu Yifei's childhood dream, and Shao Shuaijun didn't say much. Xu Zheng's "On the Journey" has already started filming, and Shao Shuaijun is named as the producer, but in fact he hasn't been to the set yet. However, Shao Shuaijun did not take time off because of this, and there were still many trivial things to do.

First of all, the Youth Federation sent someone over to help Shao Shuaijun go through the formalities and formally join the All-China Youth Federation. The Youth Federation and the Women's Federation are both patriotic United Front organizations that participate in CPPCC meetings under the leadership of the Party. Shao Shuaijun just signed a few words, took a photo, and obtained a certificate with a bright red stamp.

And his task this year is to participate in the 1st National Committee of the 10th Youth Federation from July 22nd to 24th. The person who helped him with the formalities even said that if he really doesn't have time, he can ask for leave. Shao Shuaijun really likes this kind of organization, it's too humane.

At the same time, the China Film Directors Association also found him and wanted to recruit him as a member of the association. Originally, at a commendation meeting at the beginning of this year, the Directors Association wanted to recruit Shao Shuaijun, but at that time Shao Shuaijun was in the United States to discuss the release of "Buried Alive", and there was no time, so it has been delayed until now.

There are three directors associations in China, China Film Directors Association, Hong Kong Film Directors Association and Taiwan Film Directors Association. Although China Electronics was registered and established by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it still lacks absolute authority under the national conditions of the official position. Usually Zheng Fu uses the name of the Directors Association to carry out some cross-strait dialogues.

It is undeniable that it is this political orientation that has accelerated the integration of Chinese-language films, promoted the mutual cooperation of filmmakers from the three regions, and revitalized Chinese-language films. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a great collaboration.

This time, Li Shaohong, the vice president, came to Huayi Brothers Media Group in person to find Shao Shuaijun. For Li Shaohong's visit, Wang Zhongjun personally accompanied her. After all, she is the most famous female director among the fifth generation of directors, with a huge influence.

"Xiao Shao's films are very good. We in China need a new director like Xiao Shao who dares to think and do. I have always felt that Chinese films, especially mainland filmmakers, cannot be changed to come out of the turmoil. The pessimistic and tragic nature of the film produced by the film is full of humanistic care, but it still cannot grasp the pulse of business, and does not bother to grasp it. Therefore, to revitalize Chinese-language films, sixth-generation directors like Lu Chuan must inherit the past and usher in the future, and Xiao Shao, you Such a new generation of directors must be innovative and have a long way to go."

Li Shaohong had great expectations for Shao Shuaijun, and he talked a lot. Until Shao Shuaijun and Wang Zhongjun sent Li Shaohong away, Shao Shuaijun still felt very heavy in his heart.

The future of Chinese-language films is bright, but the road in the middle is doomed to be full of twists and turns. Shao Shuaijun can guarantee that he can make a way out, but he can't guarantee that Chinese-language movies can make a way out. At least before his rebirth, there were not many successful examples of Chinese films in North America.

A film that cannot conquer old beauty cannot be called a global film. Chinese films have a long way to go.

"Why, when Sister Li said it, you feel heavy, don't you?" Wang Zhongjun patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder, "Don't be confused by the truth, making your own movie is the greatest contribution. By the way, "Source Code" I will be painting soon, do you have any new work plans?"

"I haven't figured it out yet."

After leaving Huayi Brothers, Shao Shuaijun went straight to the studio. He actually had plans for a new movie, but he didn't make up his mind which one to start with. There are too many good movies in the future, and it feels a bit tricky. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are not many movies to choose from.

First, the movies must be those that are closest to the present, so as to ensure that some good movies will not be wasted due to time constraints. Second, the movie cannot be a blockbuster with special effects, because the current special effects are not as superb as the future. Third, the box office of the movie must not be low. Fourth, the scenes of the movie should not be too big or too complicated, because Shao Shuaijun still needs more small-scale movies to enrich himself and improve himself.

He is not the rebirth of a major director, but an assistant director who has never held a camera alone. "Buried Alive" and "Source Code" are both small scenes, and being able to shoot "Crazy Stone" is the limit. Among these conditions, Shao Shuaijun quickly discovered that apart from some literary films, there were not many good films that were really suitable for directing.

The Hollywood blockbusters in my memory, either the copyright of the script cannot be obtained, or the shooting is too difficult, and they are not the most suitable movies at the moment. After all the calculations, Shao Shuaijun put the new movie on top of an urban workplace comedy.

"This movie has a novel version first, then a drama version, and then a movie version. Should I find someone to write the novel and publish it to warm up the movie?" Shao Shuaijun touched his chin, and there was Discuss.

In the process of considering the new movie, the box office of "Source Code" finally came to an end. Li Xiuxiu also flew back from the United States to handle the distribution of the box office.

"Source Code" has been released for more than a month, from May 20th to May 25th, and it has been drawn in various countries one after another. According to statistics, North America won 62 million US dollars, temporarily ranking the thirteenth in the North American box office this year. The top ones are "Rival in Love" with 180 million, "Robot" with 128 million, "Brave Nai Dad" with 113 million, "Little Ghost on the Road" with 82 million, "U.S. version of Midnight Ring 2" with 76 million, and "Hellstar" with 76 million. , "Sin City" 74 million, "The Translator" 72 million, "Boys and Girls Black and White Match" 69 million, "Sahara" 68 million, "Coach Carter" 67 million, and "Ghost Cry" 65 million.

(The previous data in chapters 71 and 72 were wrong, and Champion Zhou was cancelled. You can go back and read it, it will not affect the content)

This is the best achievement for a mainland director in North America. Compared with the production cost of "Source Code" which was around RMB 60 million, North America alone earned more than 8 times. Of course, only 17% of the 62 million yuan belongs to the box office share of Chinese companies. This is due to the generosity of Lionsgate and the high box office of "Source Code", otherwise it can only get 13% of the box office.

Therefore, in North America, the actual share of "Source Code" is 10.5 million US dollars, and Huayi Brothers, Poly Bona, Media Asia Variety and Shao Shuaijun will share more than 2.6 million US dollars, which is 22 million yuan.
