Originally, Shao Shuaijun planned to adapt "Oldboy" after filming "The Nighthawks". This was a story that he felt deeply about. But things were a little twisty. "The Nighthawks" gave him enough lessons, which made him decide to keep his feet on the ground.
I first made classic movies to lay a solid foundation, and then I thought about following the path of my dreams later.
So, I filmed "Inception" first.
"Oldboy" was put on hold. That day I told Huang Bo that I was going to postpone the filming because Shao Shuaijun suddenly thought that this was a film that paid tribute to Michael Jackson. It was only after receiving the news of Michael Jackson's death that he made this film.
movie.
MJ only passed away in 2009, which means that it is best to wait until after 2009 to shoot the movie. Anyway, the original creators, the Chopstick Brothers, have become artists pursuing their dreams, and there is no need to worry about "Oldboy" being made in advance by them.
come out.
After shelving "Old Boy", Shao Shuaijun pondered for a while. Time is running out, and there are fewer and fewer good works to be made. He has acquired the copyright of several works he knows, such as "Weaknesses"
:Game progress", you can take pictures slowly.
After much deliberation, Shao Shuaijun set his sights on a small-budget movie.
"I'm exhausted from filming "The Night Watcher" and "Inception" recently. Let's relax and relax a bit." Shao Shuaijun turned on his computer, opened the document, and typed out a few words.
500 Days with Summer.
"Tom makes a living by writing various greetings for greeting cards. He is full of wonderful romance. Unexpectedly, he is dumped by his girlfriend Summer. In order to reflect on the problems between him and Summer, Tom begins to recall his past with this girl.
500 days together..."
To be honest, this movie in my previous life is quite interesting. It is comparable to "33 Days of Love". As a debut film by a new director, it has no big-name stars, no big promotion, and few theaters, but it still won in North America.
It has a good box office and a good reputation.
As long as it is produced, coupled with Summit Entertainment's promotion, and Shao Shuaijun's current popularity, it will be difficult to think of "500 Days with Summer" as a hit. The most important thing is that this movie is very easy to make and is very suitable for use.
Relax. When Shao Shuaijun was filming "Inception", he was in a sub-excited state and couldn't sleep well or eat well.
Now I am eager to adjust it with such a heartwarming, low-budget, small-production artistic film.
If you are used to making commercial films, you should also use a movie like this to find some deepest feelings.
After making up his mind, Shao Shuaijun immersed himself in writing the script.
"33 Days of Falling Out of Love" is about the 33 days after falling out of love. During these 33 days, Huang Xiaoxian found a new love. And "500 Days with Summer" is about Tom recalling the 500 days of love with Summer. Through these 500 days
, found the essence of love. They are all stories about love. They have a lot in common in nature, but of course, the emphasis is also different.
While he was typing up the script, the box office of "Inception" was steadily rising.

When this string of records was recorded, even Shao Shuaijun himself was shocked. He knew that "Inception" was a huge hit before, but he didn't have an intuitive impression. At this moment, he was truly shocked. It was simply
It just refreshed the history of mainland film. Not counting before 1994, there were very few movies that could be released for more than 6 weeks. The box office after that was simply waiting for "Inception".
