0131 【Birthday Banquet】

"I am a pure man. This issue does not need to be discussed again. Liu Yifei and I are also pure. Don't just believe in hearsay. As for why I started a new movie before "Painted Skin" was completed, it was mainly because I had too much inspiration.

I couldn't take it back after it came out. The special effects of "Painted Skin" were produced in Hollywood, under the supervision of the production team and the director team. I also fly to the United States every month to review it in person. It is definitely made with care."

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while and avoided the company's topic: "As for why "33 Days of Love" is from a female perspective, the main reason is that I wanted to study the character of girls. Starting from Du Lala, I received some criticism, and it was indeed not very successful.

With a good grasp, Lost Love should be a further attempt. I have always believed that as a director, no matter what gender you are, you must understand people of all genders. In this way, you can easily evaluate the effects of each character in the movie.

thinking. You can say that I am always learning.”

"Director Shao, tell us what kind of movie "Love Is Not Blind" is. Is Li Bingbing the heroine? Are you the hero?"

"Lost Love is a healing urban love comedy, that's how I define it. It's about falling in love, but it's more about discovering the beauty that we haven't discovered before through falling in love. I believe that after reading this

Movies, especially those who no longer believe in love, can regain their confidence. As for me and Li Bingbing, we are just guest stars. The real male and female protagonists are others."

"Who is it?"

"Liu Shishi and Wen Zhang."

"Well, Master Liu, we know who Wen Zhang is?"

"A new person."

"That means there are no big-name stars? So, can it guarantee its box office?"

"I guarantee it." Shao Shuaijun said something domineering and revealing, then he raised his wrist to look at the time. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and he was going to attend a birthday party for the daughter of the Vice Minister of Culture in the evening, "Okay, today's

The interview ends here. Let’s chat again if we have the opportunity in the future.”

After that, he left surrounded by his assistants. The driver was Liu Sanxi. Now he has been promoted to the logistics director of Dream Chasing Entertainment. But occasionally, when he has nothing to do, he will drive for Shao Shuaijun himself. The car is a Mercedes-Benz S600, more than 4 million

The luxury version of the car, now that Shao Shuaijun is a boss, his car has to be upgraded.

I changed into a suit at the company, picked up Li Xiuxiu, and drove directly to the hotel.

This dinner was a bit sudden. Yesterday, Shao Shuaijun received a notice from Zhang Juan asking him to attend the banquet. Before that, he didn't know the Deputy Minister of Culture or his daughter at all. Zhang Juan didn't know her either.

She didn't know this second-generation official, but it was her father, Zhang Hongsen, who asked her to pass on the message.

"Sister Xiuxiu, you are so beautiful today." Shao Shuaijun looked at Li Xiuxiu, who was wearing a fitted women's suit. The allure of the uniform was simply off the charts.

Li Xiuxiu's shoulder-length hair is tied into a ponytail, which makes her look more delicate and beautiful, with a white-collar style: "I am beautiful today, but I wasn't beautiful before?"

"I have always been beautiful, but my aura today is so overwhelming that I am suffocating."

"Glib." Li Xiuxiu smiled sweetly, "By the way, have you put the gift in the car?"

Liu Sanxi replied: "It has been put in the trunk, Mr. Li."

"Brother Xi, don't call me Mr. Li. Just call me Xiuxiu." Liu Sanxi is a veteran in the company and has a good relationship with Shao Shuaijun. In private, they are both Brother Xi, as Ajun calls him.

When we arrived at the hotel, Zhang Juan was already waiting at the door.

"Ajun, Xiuxiu, you are here, follow me in quickly."

"Sister Juan, do you know why Minister Song invited us here?" Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu asked as they walked.

Zhang Juan smiled: "I just learned that Minister Song's youngest daughter Song Qian is a fan of yours. His relationship with his daughter is not very harmonious. In order to make his daughter happy for this birthday party, Minister Song asked my dad to

Came here looking for you."

"You are so charming." Li Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Shao Shuaijun touched his nose and didn't know how to describe it. Although he is very low-key, his charm is unstoppable.

In the box, Shao Shuaijun saw a circle of leaders, such as several subordinate directors of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and several department leaders under the Ministry of Culture. These were all Shao Shuaijun had seen on many occasions. This time it was Song Qian's birthday.

, those who came were all Minister Song’s subordinates, or former subordinates, who came to flatter and give “gifts”.

Although they are all subordinates, everyone is more imposing and impressive than Shao Shuaijun. They are chatting and laughing around a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties in the middle.

"Xiao Shao, Xiao Li is here. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Minister Song of the Ministry of Culture. You guys are making movies and doing art, so why don't you come here to fawn over me?" Zhang Hongsen waved.

Shao Shuaijun was instinctively numb to this kind of leadership situation, but he still had to force himself to smile and walk over: "Hello, Minister Song, hello all leaders."

"You are Shao Shuaijun. You are not bad. You have made many good movies at a young age. I was arguing with several ministers in the ministry a while ago about which one has the highest box office, you or Zhang Yimou." Minister Song was very kind.

, but the demeanor around him is quite calm and self-defeating.

Shao Shuaijun said humbly: "Compared to teacher Zhang Yimou, I am still far behind." He and Zhang Yimou have a long history, so calling him "teacher" is not an exaggeration, and it shows even more humility and respect.

"Zhang Yimou is indeed a good director. Don't belittle yourself. Youth is your asset. Sooner or later, you will be able to surpass him." Minister Song encouraged us. I don't know if it was his secretary or someone else, but a man in his thirties greeted everyone to sit down.

.

Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu were sitting at the bottom. At this time, they heard the leaders of the two film bureaus bragging to each other: "I think the 1.3 billion box office of "Hero" may not be broken by "Source Code". The review in Europe has always been

One problem, especially with the recent anti-dumping turmoil, is that even if a few countries screen it, it won’t have a big effect.”

Because several anti-dumping lawsuits broke out between the country and the European Union, just when "Source Code" was seeking to be released in Europe, it was stuck and has not been unfrozen until now.

"That's not necessarily true. "Source Code" has been proven in North America. Europe has been following the United States. Who knows whether it will become popular."

"If you don't believe it, one year will pass soon, and piracy will kill "Source Code"."

"It took more than two years for "Hero" to be released in the United States."

"That's different. "Heroes" was released in Asia, and Americans didn't care at all. That's why it was successful. Can "Source Code" be the same? Pirated copies have been out for a long time. Last time I went abroad for inspection, I saw pirated discs sold in France.

.”

"Even if "Source Code" doesn't work, there's still "The Promise." "The Promise" will be released soon, and it might beat Zhang Yimou to the ground."

"As for the bad movie "The Promise", it's not like you haven't watched it in advance, so don't mention it."

"Maybe this is the taste for foreigners." After the leader finished speaking, he turned to Shao Shuaijun and asked, "Xiao Shao, do you make sense in what I said?"

"Um." Shao Shuaijun was affected by the topic and had to think carefully before saying, "I haven't watched "The Promise", so I'm not sure."
