After the speech of the new electronic technology, the freshman ceremony was basically over. Shao Shuaijun and a group of people gathered around the deputy prime minister and got into the car. The vice prime minister had many things to do, and being able to attend this store was a huge honor, so naturally he would not
Stay and eat.
After getting in the car, the Vice Premier rolled down the window and said to Shao Shuaijun: "The speech was thought-provoking. We are lucky to have more generous and elegiac people in the Chinese film industry. Xiao Shao, you must lead the pursuit of dreams and do your best for Chinese films in a down-to-earth manner."
Please be patient and the country will support you from behind."
"Prime Minister, please rest assured that we dare not make any efforts to pursue our dreams."
"That's good, you all go back, I have to leave beforehand."
After seeing off the Prime Minister, leaders from the Radio, Television, Ministry of Culture, and the capital city also left one after another. Shao Shuaijun and Zhang Yimou took several directors with them and went out for a drink. They are all directors. No matter what their hobbies are, they always speak similar languages.
We were able to talk together, order food and wine, and everyone started chatting.
"Shuai Jun scolded me heartily and well today. In the past, we were always immersed in amusing ourselves, and unknowingly we went into misunderstandings." Zhang Yimou said while holding a glass of wine, "Our current movies are no longer prosperous, but
It’s a recession. Many new movie theaters have opened, especially Shuaijun’s Wanda Cinema Chain. It has gained momentum in the past two years and is the largest cinema chain in the country, but we don’t have any movies to show.”
Jia Zhangke said: "I remember the last time I went to Star Cinema and looked at the screening list, there were seven shows a day, "Transformers", "Painted Skin", "Inception", "Ice Age 1 and 2",
"Crazy Stone" and "Spider-Man" were wrapped up by Shuai Jun and Hollywood. This is not the release date, but it is the best test of the quality of a movie. You can only count the few movies."
"Old Jia, what you said is not entirely true. Some movies are not bad, but they have no chance to be shown. During the release period, few theaters will give them the opportunity to show them. What's more, in the future, they will be thrown away after they are made. Okay?
The audience has no chance to see it either," Wang Xiaoshuai said.
"Xiao Shuai, you will complain. First of all, you need to know what you are filming. If you make a literary film, it will make you confused. Of course, no one will watch it." Zhang Yimou said teasingly.
"Shuaijun also made a literary film, "500 Days with Summer", the editing was messy, the shots were lengthy, and it was not much smoother than what we shot. But in the mainland, it is probably worth over 200 million, what do you want me to think?
, anyway, no one lets our movie be released.”
Shao Shuaijun smiled. Wang Xiaoshuai's resentment was not accumulated in a day or two. Many directors had resentments and complained about problems with the film's scheduling. He casually said: "Don't complain. Although I have shares in Wanda Cinema Line, it is also ours."
Dream Chaser is the main operator, but the arrangement of the movie is determined by the above. "500 Days with Summer" has opened up a reputation in North America. The radio and television watched it without cutting it, so that it could get enough film schedule. Besides, my editing relies on
It’s a matter of skill, not random cutting, and it’s much better than yours.”
A few people often play tricks on each other, but it doesn't hurt to say a few words of insult.
Wang Xiaoshuai was speechless, and then said: "Don't you want to make commercial films? How come you are squeezing into the gap of literary and artistic films to steal our jobs? Director Zhang's "Hawthorn Tree Love", your film "He Summer"
"500 Days", after such a commotion, the literary and artistic films we make in the future will not be sold, and we will not even have an excuse to hide our shame. If your films can be successful, we will have to lose money?"
"Actually, what is a literary and artistic film and what is a commercial film are all about making a story. It depends on which aspect you focus on. If you focus on storytelling, you will be a commercial film. If you focus on reasoning, you will be an artistic film. It doesn't have to be like "Inception"
A commercial film is a big scene with special effects. The reason why commercial films are more successful may be because they immerse the truth in the story. After watching a story, you accept the truth without knowing it. If a literary film is too reasonable, you will reduce the story.
.I feel that no one likes to listen to other people’s big ideas all day long, except for the film judges.”
Zhang Yimou laughed: "You are resentful. You have made so many blockbuster movies, but you just don't win awards, haha."
Shao Shuaijun swung his beer and said, "I just want to make money. I'm still young anyway, so there are plenty of opportunities. By the way, Director Zhang, the two movies from the Youth League that I recommended last time were pretty good, right?"
""Nightclub" has a bit of a shadow of the Stones you made back then. It's a low-budget comedy and it looks okay. It's unrealistic to expect it to make a lot of money. But it's a good investment for the Youth League.
, at least it's much better than the messy movies of the past two years." Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said, "Zhang Mo's "Beautiful Life" seems to have changed its name to "No Longer Let You Be Lonely", and she didn't show it to me either.
It’s not clear yet.”
"The filming was not bad. With you as a great director, she learned a lot. The filming was unhurried and very tense. The emotional scenes are especially valuable," Jia Zhangke said.
"It all depends on her ability. If she doesn't have the ability, I will just take care of her, and the audience won't buy it. I originally wanted her to learn from me for a few years, but who knew that as soon as the Youth League came out, she kicked me away.
"
"You have to give her a chance to show off. Maybe Zhang Mo is the female version of Shao Shuaijun."
"Ha ha."
Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "Don't be me. I am arrogant and arrogant. Zhang Mo can't learn from me, so it's best not to learn from me."
"People don't waste their youth when they are frivolous. Some people want to be crazy but can't. You are like Wang Xiaoshuai. After making movies for so many years, have you made money? If you don't make money, you can only be a loser." Jia Zhangke smiled and belittled Wang Xiaoshuai.
Wang Xiaoshuai sneered: "You are not much better. With the money given by the Americans, you just make some kitsch Western movies. If all Chinese directors were like you, they would be ruined long ago."
"I'm comfortable. I'm just taking foreigners' money to make Chinese movies for foreigners to watch, so what. I'll make whatever foreigners like to watch, and teach them political lessons at the same time. How nice."
After drinking, bragging, and insulting each other, the meal passed. They were all busy people, so they left in a hurry without much chatting. Shao Shuaijun also returned home, ready to continue living the two-person world between him and Li Xiuxiu.
With the little free time I have tonight, I will hang out with Li Xiuxiu for a while, and I will continue to do the trapeze tomorrow.
"I drank so much. I smell of alcohol all over my body. Quickly change my clothes and go wash up." After opening the door, Li Xiuxiu smelled the odor of Shao Shuaijun's alcohol.
Shao Shuaijun laughed, hugged Li Xiuxiu and took a sip: "I don't drink too much wine, and I don't like drinking it. When I touched the wine glass with Wang Xiaoshuai, I deliberately spilled a little, but I wasn't sure and it spilled on my clothes."
"Hey, you haven't mastered the tricks on the wine table yet?" Li Xiuxiu said angrily and funny, getting a pair of slippers for Shao Shuaijun to put on.
"I gave a speech today and scolded several of their directors. I felt unhappy, so I thought about knocking me down at the wine table. Unfortunately, I started making trouble first. Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai were having a drink, and I was there
I watched the battle from the sidelines and didn’t try to be a hero. I drank more than three bottles of beer and went to the toilet twice, haha.”
As Shao Shuaijun spoke, he took off his shirt, revealing a body that was not muscular, but had some muscles. He was less than 1.75 meters tall, and his figure was fairly well-proportioned. He also had a standard inverted triangle shape after practicing.
, just too lazy to practice.
"There is a complete video of your speech on the Internet. I have also watched it. It was very high-spirited and offended people. Several years of work have been negated by you in one day. I am not afraid of Zhang Hongsen making noise with you, right?
They are reporting to their superiors how much box office revenue the film market has increased this year and how good the results are? You are slapping him in the face."
"Why should I slap him in the face? I have to support his whole family every year. I just don't want everyone to be secretive. Why do you say the movie is good if it's not done well? Think the audience is a fool. Count them.
, how many domestic films are good to watch this year? You can't always be naked and say that you are wearing new clothes. Someone has to tell the truth and expose the fact that you are not wearing clothes, so that you can learn to wear clothes."
Li Xiuxiu put away the dirty clothes and said angrily: "Okay, all the crows in the world have black fur, but my husband is as white and clean as a little white rabbit. Hey, what are you doing? Go to the bathroom and take off your clothes."
Are you ashamed of your pants?"
Shao Shuaijun said with a shy face: "We are already an old couple, why are you embarrassed? Wife, put the clothes down and pack them later, and wash them with me."
"Isn't it embarrassing to wash it together?"
"Come on." Shao Shuaijun said, grabbed Li Xiuxiu's wrist and dragged Li Xiuxiu into the bathroom.
Then there was a frank meeting, and the water roared.
…
On October 7, 2008, the weather was sunny.
Shao Shuaijun, who was exhausted and bent over, took a plane to Hong Kong early in the morning. After arriving in Hong Kong, he immediately discovered that his itinerary had been leaked and hundreds of reporters surrounded him. Fortunately, Shao Shuaijun now travels with more than a dozen bodyguards.
He and his assistants surrounded him as he walked down the hall, with reporters following him around.
"Dr. Shao, Dong Shao, the Hurun Rich List was announced today. You topped the list with assets of 63 billion yuan, becoming the richest man in mainland China. Hurun said this is only a conservative estimate of assets. Your actual assets must be far more than
This number, can you tell us if it is true?”
"Dr. Shao, you are on the Hurun Rich List for the first time. You are the richest man in the Mainland. Your wealth far exceeds the second place's 43 billion yuan. And you are only 22 years old this year. What is the secret that has allowed you to accumulate such wealth?"
.There are rumors that you are the spokesperson of the mainland government, can you please confirm it to us?"
"Director Shao's speech at the New Electrical Machinery Research Institute has been spread across the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Some people praised you and said that you have a pure heart. Some people criticized you and said that you deliberately belittled and discredited Chinese films and lost all the efforts of the predecessors.
Negative, what do you think of these voices of praise and criticism?"
""500 Days with Summer" has hit US$300 million globally. A small-budget literary film has achieved such brilliant results. Director Shao, your magic is extraordinary. Can you tell us about this result? What do you think is the reason for its success?
"
Even with the protection of bodyguards, reporters kept surrounding me, causing a section of the road to become congested.
"What happened? The itinerary was leaked again." Shao Shuaijun complained.
Assistant Zhang Huahua smiled bitterly: "Boss, no matter how low-key you are now, you can't stop your charm. It was a little better before. Now that the Hurun Rich List has come out, the flight attendants also know your news value, and they will definitely not help you."
Keep your itinerary safe.”
"Depressed! Xiaohua, give me your cell phone."
Shao Shuaijun picked up his cell phone and called Li Xiuxiu: "Hey, wife, help me check how much money is in my personal account."
Li Xiuxiu's voice came: "It seems that the total is 1.8 billion yuan, why did you remember to check the accounts?"
"What, my schedule today has been leaked again, and now reporters are surrounding me. So I want to buy a plane, buy a private plane."
“What plane should I buy?”
"It seems that the Airbus A380 is good now, and the price is only more than a billion. How about buying one? Then buy a small passenger plane and a helicopter. By the way, the Dream Entertainment Group is so big now, how many will it need?
If you have a special plane, you, the vice chairman and general manager, should at least have a special plane."
"Really plan to buy it?" Li Xiuxiu's voice was a little hopeful and a little hesitant.
"If you have money, don't spend anything. Just buy it. Wife, please arrange for someone to buy a plane as soon as possible. I'm too lazy to fly on other people's planes anymore. I'm not low-key at all."
Zhang Huahua looked at Shao Shuaijun who was complaining on the phone and was speechless for a while. Is it very low-key to buy your own plane? You also have to buy the largest aircraft, Airbus A380, and buy several planes at once. What a weird world view this is.
Do you think this is more low-key?
However, this seems to be quite good. When my boss buys a plane, it means I bought a plane. Hehe, I will have a special plane when I go out in the future. I no longer have to work hard to book air tickets and schedule it. I can fly whenever I want. It’s more
Okay. Zhang Huahua thought proudly again.
I decided to buy the plane, but if Shao Shuaijun didn't answer a few questions this time, he might not be able to walk out of the airport hall.
Sighing, Shao Shuaijun took a microphone and said: "I don't know Hurun, and I don't know how he knows how much money I have, because I haven't calculated it myself, and the company doesn't pay dividends. I still use it now."
I support my family with my directing fees. That Hurun Report is just to make everyone laugh, so don’t take it seriously.”
"Dream Entertainment Group has many subsidiaries, among which Dream Chase Golden Harvest in Hong Kong has a market value of nearly over 70 billion yuan. Summit Entertainment in North America has estimated total assets of US$1.5 billion, which is more than 10 billion yuan, plus
With the value of shares in Wanda Cinema and other subsidiaries, economic experts have judged that the total capital of Dream Entertainment Group is approaching 100 billion yuan. With a group company of such value at the age of 22, Chairman Shao, do you think the biggest secret to your success is
What is it?"
Shao Shuaijun frowned and said: "I'm lucky. Moreover, my company has not yet reached 100 billion. How come Hurun judged that my worth is more than 90 billion? I don't seem to hold a lot of total shares, right? It's too exaggerated.
Yes! As for what you asked about my speech just now, I can only say that I interpreted it from the perspective of an angry young man. Whether I agree with it or not does not have much impact on me. Let’s talk about "500 Days with Summer", can it
Achieving such good results is beyond my expectation. The secret to success is very simple. If you shoot with your heart, the audience will reward you. Okay, I'm still in a hurry. Can you please give in?" (To be continued. Please
