"By the way, after "The Nighthawks", didn't you say you were going to shoot "Oldboy"? When are you going to start filming?" Huang Bo asked.
In fact, as early as 2006 when he participated in "The Voice of China", Shao Shuaijun wrote the song "Old Boy" and had the idea to make it into a movie. Although "Old Boy" is about the pursuit of music dreams,
The emotions and hardships in life are so touching.
For those born in the 1970s and 1980s, "Oldboy" is a song that touches their hearts the most. They can never tire of listening to it, and the more they sing it, the more flavorful it becomes. As the short film of the same name says at the end of "Oldboy": "
Dreams, like classics, will never fade with time, but become more precious."
In my previous life, "Oldboy" was a song by the Chopstick Brothers, and the short film of the same name was also shot by them. It has received tens of millions of views and touched countless people.
Shao Shuaijun is one of them. He has struggled for a long time, but in the end he is not even a third-rate director. His dream is like a ship drifting away, drifting but never wanting to dock. "Old Boy"
It is his favorite short film. In his previous life, he once wanted to turn "Oldboy" into a movie and show it in cinemas.
Now that I have the ability in this life, of course I have to work hard to realize this little dream.
"I already have two plans. One is for you and me to star in the movie, and the other is for the Chopstick Brothers, the latest contract signed by my company, to star. Both of them are people with stories. I have already put "Oldboy"
"Leave it to them to re-sing it and package it for sale. What do you think should be done?" Shao Shuaijun asked.
"What do you think? I really like this story. Among us in Beidiao, who doesn't have a dream? However, if you don't act, our stick group will break up, and I won't act anymore."
"I'm not good at acting, I'm afraid of messing up." Shao Shuaijun actually really wants to act. Although he is a director, "Oldboy" touched him too deeply. He really wants to use such a movie to remember his past and those
Memories that are blown away by the wind and come back often.
"That's right." Huang Bo sighed with regret.
Shao Shuaijun thought for a while and suddenly said: "Otherwise, just keep it. After a few years, when the post-70s and post-80s grow up, get married, and have children, we can shoot again."
"That's fine."
Huang Bo was going to participate in an advertising shoot, so they parted ways at the door. Shao Shuaijun bought two breakfasts in the cafeteria and returned home. Li Xiuxiu was getting dressed in the room when she saw Shao Shuaijun push the door open and was startled.
Blushing with embarrassment, he quickly put on the sweater.
"Hey, you..."
Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "Sister Xiuxiu, you are so beautiful."
"Oh, I...don't stare at me."
Gently walking to Li Xiuxiu and hugging her, Shao Shuaijun laughed loudly: "We are an old couple, why should we be shy? Wash your face and brush your teeth quickly, I have already bought breakfast."
After laughing and joking after breakfast, Li Xiuxiu was still feeling a little unwell, so Shao Shuaijun forcefully asked her to rest at home for a day. And he still had to go to the company to sign. As the year was approaching, the financial review of each subsidiary required Shao Shuaijun's signature for approval.
No one else can do this job for him.
Along the way, the employees greeted him respectfully, and Shao Shuaijun felt particularly good.
After going to his dedicated office on the top floor, assistant Wang Cuicui immediately took a bunch of documents for Shao Shuaijun to sign. Within a few minutes, Yi Jianmei knocked on the door and came in happily: "Mr. Shao, I'm so happy!"
"Oh, what's the happy event?"
"The box office for the third week in North America is out. "Inception" continues to lead the box office rankings with 33.2 million U.S. dollars, achieving three consecutive championships! The total North American box office is currently 213.2 million U.S. dollars, and "National Treasure 2" has been undervalued.
It’s not getting started, and there are no blockbuster movies to be released next week. With the reputation of "Inception", the downward trend of the box office is very small, and we are very likely to achieve four consecutive championships!"
"This is normal. Without this box office, how can we be worthy of "Inception", which requires such hard work to shoot and produce." Shao Shuaijun smiled calmly. He had memories of his previous life, so he was not surprised at all, "By the way, Sister Mei, "
Has the North American release date of ‘Inception’ been extended?”
"The theater chain has sent a letter. Depending on the next trend of the box office, it may be extended by one month or two months."
If he can continue to make money and attract money, the theater chain will naturally be unwilling to draw any pictures. In this way, he can earn more, and Shao Shuaijun can also earn more, which is gratifying.
After talking about North America, Yi Jianmei said with a smile: "The mainland box office came out yesterday. Mr. Shao should have watched "News Lianbo". With an absolute advantage of 78.5 million yuan, it snatched the third weekly championship of the mainland box office.
, the current total box office is 402 million yuan, becoming the highest box office in mainland film history, and is expected to enter the impossible height of 500 million yuan."
"Haha, it seems that 500 million is a big mark now. With the development of mainland theater chains in the future, more and more movies will break this record." Shao Shuaijun still looked indifferent.
Because the director of "Inception" is Chinese, Chow Yun-fat is Chinese, and he is a Chinese investor, he has a lot of film schedules and is popular, so it is impossible not to win a super box office. However, it seems to be a super box office now, but it will not be in the future.
, at least before Shao Shuaijun was reborn, "囧囧路之囧" created a domestic movie box office record of 1.26 billion, and "Avatar", which Cameron, the king of the world, has been honing for four years, created a mainland film history of 1.3 billion
Box office, that was only in 2009.
After defeating "Titanic" and "Avatar", Cameron is definitely the lifelong enemy of Chinese filmmakers.
There is a long way to go and we still need to work hard!
Yi Jianmei raised her eyebrows at Shao Shuaijun's calm demeanor and disapproved of it. It was obvious to everyone that Shao Shuaijun liked to pretend to be more serious than he pretended to be. She handed over a stack of newspapers: "The global box office has reached 500 million US dollars, and Yusen Wu's record is even higher."
I've been ruined by you and feel the adulation from everyone. In addition, quickly think about how to deal with the media. I have already felt that a large number of reporters are coming to you. If you don't come forward, Dream Chaser Film and Television Base will be overthrown.
It’s incredible!”
"Just in time, please help me arrange the press conference and the establishment of the New Film Technology Research Institute together to give the institute a strong momentum."
"good."
After the interview session was arranged, media from all over the world immediately focused on the Dream Entertainment Group. Shao Shuaijun notified the 'New Electronic Technology Research Institute' preparatory committee, and they all rushed to the hall on the first floor of the Dream Film and Television Base to hold the founding ceremony.
On January 9, the interview will be held as scheduled.
In the morning, the entire hall of Dream Chaser Film and Television Base was crowded with people, jostled shoulder to shoulder. They were all reporters and photographers. People from China, Japan, Germany, France, Russia, the United States, Britain and Australia, black hair, yellow hair, white hair, red hair, black, white and yellow people, all
Reporters from all over the world came.
For this movie that is hitting the global box office charts.
"Inception"! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
