On October 30, 2008, Shao Shuaijun, who was writing scripts while learning to fly, received a call from Li Xiuxiu. Forbes China released the 2008 Forbes China Rich List. Shao Shuaijun became the richest man in China with 41.5 billion yuan. If according to the statistics released in March this year
According to Forbes' list of the world's billionaires, Shao Shuaijun should be ranked 172nd in the world.
Compared with the Hurun Rich List, which is rooted in China, Forbes is a global authoritative organization, and the information it publishes has more global influence. When Hurun, a foreigner, came to China, it was also under the banner of a Forbes special commissioner.
After joining the Hurun Report on the Rich List, and then starting an independent business, its global influence is certainly not as good as that of Forbes.
There is a big difference between the two lists. Shao Shuaijun on the Hurun Rich List has 63 billion yuan, while Shao Shuaijun on the Forbes China Rich List only has 41.5 billion yuan. But no matter what, no one can erase the fact that Shao Shuaijun is the richest man.
As soon as the Forbes rich list was released, it immediately had a huge impact around the world.
Among the two hundred richest people in the world, one is Shao Shuaijun!
A mainland Chinese, a young man of only 22 years old, a self-made man, and a world-renowned director. The halo of all this was completely ignited with the 2008 Forbes China Rich List. Especially
Domestically, Shao Shuaijun is already a spiritual representative of the grassroots.
If Shao Shuaijun was said to be the second generation of rich people or the second generation of officials, everyone would definitely curl their lips and curse him as a second generation ancestor.
But Shao Shuaijun’s background is very clear. His parents are primary school teachers. He has never had any famous people in his ancestors, and he has no relatives who are rich or powerful. All his success comes from his hard work. His movies have been sold all over the world.
The company is getting bigger and bigger, what could be more dreamy than this?
Today's parents will say when educating their children: "Look at Shao Shuaijun, he is so capable at a young age. As for you, if you don't work hard, you can only watch others succeed and drink the northwest wind yourself!"
In short, Shao Shuai's weapons are not ordinary.
From the entertainment circle to the Internet and the financial circle, the fire is huge. Starting from Hurun and then Forbes, the announcement of the double list made everyone talk about Shao Shuaijun.
For example, Jack Ma of Alibaba, a partner of Chasing Dream Jiahe, said: "Shao Shuaijun is the most courageous and visionary person I have ever met. We are doing the Internet, and he at least knows a little bit about the Internet. He doesn't even know what 'C' is."
'I don't even know. But the Time Network he founded is already the largest Internet company in China, and it is one step ahead of others every time."
Penguin’s Mahuateng also said: “We once almost unified the domestic instant messaging market. I don’t know how Shao Shuaijun did it, but it is obvious that Penguin is no longer the largest instant messaging software. But we will continue to work hard.
"Competition on the Internet is like a marathon. Running first does not mean you will always be ahead."
The Korean media even said with sorrow: "Shao Shuaijun and his Dream Chaser Entertainment Group are bandits. DNF and CF belong to South Korea, but now they have started to use DNF and CF to make money from us. Smile-Gate and Smile-Gate, which developed these two games,
Neople and the company are all sinners of Korea!”
Wang Zhongjun of Huayi Brothers Media Group has repeatedly emphasized: "Shao Shuaijun is our shareholder. We are very happy to cooperate with Dream Chaser Entertainment. We also hold part of the shares of Dream Chaser Jiahe. This is a very successful investment and cooperation. Follow Shao Shuaijun
, there is meat to eat!”
Polybona's Yu Dong was more depressed. The media brought up old accounts. He didn't buy "Buried Alive" and didn't invest in "Inception." After being ridiculed, Yu Dong fought back: "Everyone makes mistakes. If I
With every hit, I am the richest man now! But there is no longer any barrier between us and Shao Shuaijun, and we now have many business cooperations. Dream Chase Entertainment wants to build an entertainment industry chain, and we are also involved in it."
Zhang Yimou, a famous director of the Fifth Generation, said: "Facing Shao Shuaijun, the only thing I can offer is that I have won more awards than him. But he is younger than me, and I dare not think about whether he will conquer Shao Shuaijun in a few years."
He conquered Hollywood and won the Oscar, I hope he doesn’t want it, otherwise I will really be useless.”
Zou Daheng, who has retired and is enjoying his old age in Hawaii, also appeared in the media: "I am very pleased to see that Golden Harvest has become stronger and stronger and has become a leading company in the Chinese film industry. This is what I most desired at the time.
"My dream can be realized in the hands of Shao Shuaijun. I think there are two most correct decisions I have made in my life. One is to enter Hollywood with Bruce Lee, and the other is to hand over the company to Shao Shuaijun."
Li Xiuxiu's assistant Yang Ying, who now serves as the chief news officer of Dream Entertainment Group, said in an interview with reporters: "Chairman Shao seems very calm about becoming the richest man. For him, wealth is not the most important thing.
Pursuit, he always believed that his main job was directing."
Seeing that they could not get any more information about Shao Shuaijun from Yang Ying, the reporters began to turn to the beautiful press officer: "Ms. Yang Ying, you were an actress before, why did you suddenly switch to a company and engage in business?"
Workplace work?”
Yang Ying blinked her big eyes: "Our chairman once wanted to direct "The Twilight Saga: Twilight". He said that there was a role in it that was suitable for me. After I went to the United States, the chairman suddenly gave up the director plan, so I
I lost my job. The chairman felt sorry for me and handed me over to the general manager, and then I became the general manager’s assistant. I enjoy my current job very much. There is no pressure from the entertainment industry. I work 9 to 5, which is very relaxing."
News about Shao Shuaijun is very valuable, and gossip about his private life is even more valuable. One time, Li Bingbing was asked: "What kind of person is Shao Shuaijun in private? Some people say that in private he is arrogant, lustful, and wandering around."
Nightclubs, and beauty pageant parties often held at home, right?"
Li Bingbing was speechless: "It's hard to see Shao Shuaijun in private because he is always busy making movies. He is a very boring person. He doesn't care and is too lazy to socialize. He doesn't even want to go out. I think he is the most romantic person he has ever done.
The only thing I want to do is to propose to my sister. When it comes to movies, he can talk non-stop for five days and five nights. If you want to chat with him about something big, he will definitely doze off immediately. And in private, he is very slovenly and has no life.
With good taste, you need to mix red wine with Sprite, and you can eat fried chicken drumsticks that cost five yuan a piece with relish..."
"So how did he get to where he is now and become the richest man? Be so successful in the entertainment industry and the Internet?"
"I don't know much about business, and I rarely pay attention to how Shao Shuaijun manages the company. In my opinion, he is different from the boss of any company. He rarely participates in the management of the company. You also know that most of him
He uses his time to make movies, and may not show up at the company for several months. He should be more of a guide to the company's direction."
“What is the way forward?”
"He will tell others what to do, just like CF and DNF, which are very popular now. After he found out, he asked people from the company to acquire these two games, and then they became popular in China. And he has many more
He was the one who came up with the wonderful ideas, Time Scarf, and Time YY, etc. He doesn’t care what the company does, he just tells them what direction they should go in. Okay, let’s stop here, are you interviewing me or interviewing
Shao Shuaijun, this is all I know!"
…
Li Xiuxiu called Shao Shuaijun and not only told him that he had become the richest man in China as announced by Forbes, but also told him that Time Magazine in the United States had once again invited him and hoped to interview him.
"Refuse for me, I want to keep a low profile now."
Shao Shuaijun responded simply. With Hurun and Forbes, he was completely exposed on paper. This is not good. People who are too public seem to have no good end. In the past, when "Times" interviewed him, he would think this was
The honor is just so-so now. It would be best if no one else knew him and he could make a fortune in silence.
He did not accept an interview, but Time Magazine still made him the cover of this issue's Asia and U.S. pages.
A large profile photo with the title: "Shao Shuaijun and his movie kingdom."
"Two years ago, Time interviewed Shao Shuaijun. He was a director who had just emerged in Hollywood and had a vibrant film company. Two years later, we paid attention to Shao Shuaijun again. He was already a world-class director and became the richest man in China and the world.
A super rich man."
"Shao Shuaijun's wealth comes from the listing of the company and the marketing revenue of the film... As a director who has been in the industry for five years, Shao Shuaijun's success has attracted worldwide attention, and after four years of running the company, Shao Shuaijun's brilliance is undoubtedly huge. With it,
From the various business directions of Dream Chase Entertainment Group, we can see that Shao Shuaijun is creating a movie kingdom of his own."
"I still remember that on the cover two years ago, we used 'Shao Shuaijun and his young film kingdom' as the slogan. But now his film kingdom is no longer small and young, it has become huge and full of people.
A true kingdom of vitality and energy.”
"This young man uses his talent to weave dreams. When he picks up the director's microphone, he becomes the master of the world. Starting from "Buried Alive" alone, he made eight movies in five years.
Worldwide, "Source Code", "Painted Skin", "Inception" and "500 Days of Summer" have a box office of more than 100 million US dollars. Among them, "Inception" became the top box office hit with a box office of 922.5 million US dollars.
It became one of the top 20 films in the world and became his masterpiece as a world-renowned director."
"He once said that he made movies to dream with more people and share his dreams. Business aside, he did influence many people and spread his dreams to all over the world. As
The youngest director in Hollywood, he is a representative of the American Dream and the Chinese Dream. He has influenced a generation of young people to work hard for their dreams."
"When many young people are asked about their idols, they are not the handsome men and beauties on the big or small screen, but Shao Shuaijun who is behind the scenes. We can still see him in "Source Code"
Nowadays, he is becoming more and more low-key and adapting to the status of a king. He has begun to accept the worship of his subjects and become the most authoritative one in his kingdom."
"Whether he is in Dream Chaser or Summit Entertainment, he is using an alternative way to change the film landscape of the two major countries. In the era when the eight major film companies in Hollywood are declining, Summit Entertainment has the best chance to be among them.
Independent production company. Since the opening of China's film market, Dream Chaser is the first mainland listed entertainment company and the first private enterprise to surpass state-owned enterprises and become the leader in the entertainment industry."
"Behind his success is China's increasingly open policy, and he is also a hero created by current events. The open entertainment industry has given him the soil to take root, and his natural talent is the wings that help him fly. It is difficult to imagine that four years ago, he
He was just a bit player in a film and television studio in China. He dropped out of school and lived in poverty. He often lay on the cold ground for several hours in the snow and ice for a salary of 50 yuan a day, which was less than 7 US dollars.
"
"At that time, Shao Shuaijun never imagined that one day he would stand on the most shining stage in the world and accept the worship of everyone. But at that time, young Shao Shuaijun definitely gritted his teeth and waited for the opportunity to soar into the sky. Because Shao Shuaijun
Rarely mentioning his private life, we don’t know what force supported him to be self-taught and embark on the path of director.”
"However, we know that setbacks gave him a fortune, and he used this wealth to earn his own movie kingdom. And it is more difficult for us to avoid a problem. He is only twenty-two years old this year. At the same age, Bill
.Gates also relied on his mother’s support to maintain the young Microsoft with difficulty!”
"He is the most outstanding figure of this era!"
"Times" gave Shao Shuaijun the highest respect, almost calling him the next Bill Gates. Unlike Bill Gates, whose mother is an IBM director, Shao Shuaijun is more grassroots and can better represent something called "dream."
Whether it is the United States or China, it is this kind of dream that makes mankind forge ahead.
Under the influence of Time Magazine, Hurun Rich List, and Forbes China Rich List, Shao Shuaijun's movie "500 Days with Summer" fetched US$320 million globally, becoming the highest-grossing small-budget literary film of the year.
, surpassing the US$230 million of "Juno" and becoming another miracle of low-cost literary films.
Paired with the high box office, the film's reputation is also very high. It scored 8.3 points on IMDB and 8.2 points on Time.com. It can be said to be a great success. Many people call it the pinnacle of pure love movies. Inspired by this trend
With the influence of "Inception" and the power of "Inception", the two leading actors, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlett Johansson, have become Hollywood's first-line superstars.
Some media call Scarlett the most dazzling star of tomorrow in Hollywood. She has a perfect figure and appearance. Her prospects are far more brilliant than Ellen Page in "Juno". And Joseph is called Hollywood's new star.
King of Heaven, he was ranked behind Jack Harlan Hill in "Inception", and now he is basically equally famous.
Shao Shuaijun's reputation as a great director is also more solid.
You don't have to be called a great director just by directing a blockbuster. At least the directors of "Harry Potter" and the two directors of "Twilight" have not gained the reputation of a great director in the world. The real great directors
Directors are either purely commercial and can burn the box office, or they can control various types of movies.
For example, James Cameron and George Lucas all made their fortunes at the box office, while Spielberg can control all kinds of movies.
Now, Shao Shuaijun can be said to have become a great director like Spielberg. The only disadvantage is that there are few masterpieces and few awards... time will make up for all this. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature, Novels Better updates faster!)
