At Hong Kong Airport, Shao Shuaijun got off the plane wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap. From a distance, he saw someone holding a sign that read "KOW". Needless to say, this was Li Xiuxiu's opportunity. KOW stands for King-Of
The acronym of -the-Word means King of the World.
This is Li Xiuxiu's joke on Shao Shuaijun.
When they got closer, they saw Li Xiuxiu wearing a black windbreaker, looking at Shao Shuaijun and his party with a sweet smile, and the two assistants behind her were holding signs high.
"Welcome the King of the World to Hong Kong!" Li Xiuxiu said with a smile, and then opened her arms.
"Wow, Sister Xiuxiu, I miss you so much!" It was rare for Shao Shuaijun to see Li Xiuxiu take such initiative. He immediately opened his arms and rushed over, preparing to give Li Xiuxiu a firm hug.
Then, Li Xiuxiu ducked away from Shao Shuaijun and hugged Yang Ying and Wang Cuicui: "Angela, Xiaocui, long time no see."
Shao Shuaijun blinked and felt a gust of wind blowing by, so desolate.
"Boss, do you want me to give you a hug?" Li Xiuxiu's assistants, one of whom is an old man from Dream Chase Company, has been in the company since Shao Shuaijun's studio days and is quite familiar with Shao Shuaijun, so he asked.
Shao Shuaijun immediately put his hands in his pockets and blew his hair: "Sorry, my sexual orientation is normal and I don't have such strong tastes."
Not long after, Yang Ying's grandparents also came to pick her up. They were going to stay in Hong Kong for a few days, so they approved Yang Ying's leave and asked her to go home for a few days.
"Director Shao, hello, thank you. The baby called us to tell us what happened before, thank you." The two old people said politely.
Shao Shuaijun responded with a smile: "It's okay, two old men. Our Dream Chaser Company is an ethical entertainment company, and Yang Ying is an artist we value. Don't worry."
After Yang Ying left with her grandparents, Shao Shuaijun suddenly said: "Sister Xiuxiu, don't you think there are many people named Angela in the entertainment industry? How about we let Yang Ying change her name to AngelaBaby?"
"Your control is too broad, don't you? You even have to control the artist's name?"
"Haha, this is the conscientious boss." Shao Shuaijun smiled. In the future, Yang Ying did change her name to AngelaBaby in order to distinguish herself from others. Now it feels awkward not to change her name to Shao Shuaijun. Several times, Shao Shuaijun wanted to call her AngelaBaby.
With.
This time Shao Shuaijun came to Hong Kong mainly to listen to the recent reports of Dream Chaser Jiahe.
Since reaching a verbal agreement with Jack Ma that day, formal cooperation has also begun to be discussed. Based on several contacts, the cooperation method has been decided. Alibaba will acquire the shares of Dream Chaser from EMI Records for US$15 million, and then use Alipay's 50% stake.
In exchange for 15% of the shares of Dream Chasing Company, the total shares will be accounted for 30%.
Subsequently, a series of capital operations will be carried out to integrate Alipay, Jiahe's movie theaters, Dream Chaser Film and Television Company, Dream Chaser TV series production company, Dream Chaser Film Distribution Company, Dream Chaser Music Company, and Time.com into Dream Chaser Golden Harvest Company and re-list it.
Issue shares.
Dream Chase Entertainment Company will be reorganized into Dream Chase Entertainment Group.
When the new Dream Chaser Jiahe company is listed, with Dream Chaser's status in the mainland film industry and Alipay's strong cash transaction volume, Dream Chaser Jiahe's capital will definitely increase several times or even dozens of times, completing the first round of money making.
The next step may be to further cooperate with Alibaba and exchange shares for cross-shareholding.
When Alibaba goes public in the future, it will be another money-making operation.
"The report is well done. We have market plans for both the near and far. So I will work hard to make Chasing Dreams a big company that can compete with any Asian entertainment company." Shao Shuaijun said to the management of Chasing Dreams.
The senior management said. After reorganization, one-third of the top management has been replaced, and now Li Xiuxiu basically has the power.
Shao Shuaijun didn't know much about such a complicated thing as going public, so he just left it to someone special. After letting Li Xiuxiu explain what he was doing, everyone finally set foot on the road to the United States. Shao Shuaijun has already written the storyboard for "The Twilight Saga: Twilight"
Once the concept is well-conceived, all it takes is for the investment procedures to be in place before the crew can be assembled and filming begins.
At the Los Angeles Airport, Qian Yongqiang came to pick him up.
The post-production of "Painted Skin" is about to be completed, and now it has entered the negotiation stage for release. Wang Zhonglei and Yang Hongtao have been in the United States for more than half a month, traveling around to promote it.
Asking Li Xiuxiu to take people to prepare for the film company, Shao Shuaijun and Qian Yongqiang went to the special effects company in Hollywood.
In the movie screening room, Gao Yang and Miao Chenshan had already prepared samples.
After showing the special effects shots one by one, Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands: "Yes, this level of special effects is in line with my expectations. It's already April, and it's time for us to edit the samples. It's not good to just have fragmentary clips."
Propaganda. Old money, you have to work hard again. I don’t have much time, so why don’t you stay up late and work hard?”
"Haha, it's finally time for the movie to take shape. It doesn't matter if I stay up all night. I have been producing movies in Hong Kong for decades, and this time is the most exciting. The actual production cost is 200 million. Even with this old bone, it is still
Gonna chew it off."
The director's cut is the cut that best meets the expectations of the film.
However, sometimes director's editing is also the most uncommercial. Each set of shots is shot with a lot of effort, just like the director's child. Holding scissors, this set of shots is reluctant to cut, and that set of shots is also hard to cut.
I was reluctant to cut it, but in the end, a 90-minute movie could be cut into 120 minutes by the director. A 120-minute movie could be cut into 140 minutes.
If we say that Shao Shuaijun used the previous movies to hone his directorial skills without making much changes. He had the original movie as a reference, and if the scissors had the help of God, he could cut it out without any hesitation. Then this movie "
"Painted Skin" was much more difficult. After all, many sets of shots were modified by Shao Shuaijun, and the ending of the entire movie was also modified.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is half his son.
Faced with a movie like this, Shao Shuaijun couldn't bear to cut randomly.
"Old Qian, look at this set of shots, how beautiful they are. Do you want to keep them?"
"But does this have anything to do with the theme of the movie?"
"Well... maybe it can help people relax a bit during the tense period..."
"Gao Yang, Chen Shan, look at this set of shots. The scene is intense enough. I personally choose to stay. What do you think?"
Gao Yang touched his chin: "This series describes Wang Jiajun. It seems to be an unimportant supporting role."
Miao Chenshan scratched his head: "This person seems to be dying. He was beaten so fiercely in the front and died the next moment. Isn't it..."
"Okay, this group... has been deleted!"
After three days of painful struggle, Shao Shuaijun finally completed the director's cut of "Painted Skin". At this time, Wang Zhonglei and Yang Hongtao also rushed over, as well as Lionsgate co-chairman Rob Friedman.
"Oh, dear Shao, welcome to Hollywood again!"
Rob Friedman came up and gave Shao Shuaijun a bear hug, which was very warm.
"Hello, Chairman Rob, I'm glad to see you again. You are as strong as ever."
"Thank you, I feel like I'm still young. By the way, I heard that the editing of "Painted Skin" has been completed? Oh, I can't wait to see the complete movie."
