After announcing the project of "Life of Pi" with Li Yu, media on both sides of the Taiwan Strait widely reported the news.
"The most outstanding directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait will join forces to create a classic movie!" This is the mainstream view of the media.
At the same time, some media said: "This cooperation on "Life of Pi" will definitely be one of the landmark events in the integration of the Chinese film industry in the future!"
Because one of Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu is the most famous director in mainland China, and the other is the most famous director in Baodao, the high status of both parties determines that the significance of this cooperation will be far greater than reality. "News Lianbo" does not hesitate to use prime time,
The news was introduced in one minute.
"Today, the new movie "Life of Pi" jointly invested and created by Dream Chase Entertainment Group, Summit Entertainment Group, and Dream South Asia Film Company was announced in Beijing. The film is adapted from Jan Martel's famous novel,
It tells a magical story that happened during a shipwreck. The film will be directed by the famous director Li Yu, with the famous director Shao Shuaijun as the producer. It is expected to be released to the general audience from the end of 2012 to 2013."
"Yi Jianmei, general manager of Dream Chaser, said in an interview that the film is a collaboration between two of the best Chinese directors. This is an attempt by Dream Chase Entertainment to build a world film industry chain, and it is also a support for the declaration of directors from across the Taiwan Strait and the three places. We hope that
Through the cooperation between the two directors, we can explore a path that is suitable for the industrial development of Chinese-language films and achieve close cooperation among the entire Chinese-language film circle."
At the Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film Directors Seminar in January, led by Li Eucalyptus and driven by a group of people with lofty ideals, a declaration was issued at the seminar to promote the development of Chinese-language films and form an industrialization of Chinese-language films.
develop and promote the integration and rise of Chinese-language films.
"Pi" is an attempt. The crew will shoot the movie according to Hollywood production standards, attract Chinese filmmakers, and work together to find a filming path suitable for Chinese-language movies during the creative process. Li Yu will use Hollywood's consistent shooting methods
, through this shooting, it was passed on to all the Chinese on the crew.
Shao Shuaijun will also try his best to teach Hollywood's advanced models during the production process.
Chinese filmmakers have never lacked artistry. What they lack is the exploration of industrializing films. What they lack is their own style. I hope to get some inspiration from this kind of Sino-US cooperation in filmmaking. After seeing clearly how Hollywood movies are made,
The understanding of Chinese films will definitely be deeper.
After the news of the project, the traditional Chinese festivals New Year's Eve and Spring Festival came.
After returning to his hometown to celebrate the New Year for three days, Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States with his entire family. The filming progress of "The Nighthawks" must be accelerated, because he will start directing "The Avengers" in a while, and he will also find time to participate in the Youth League.
Pai's production work will be very busy.
However, with the company of his wife and children, Shao Shuaijun's enthusiasm was replenished and he quickly advanced the filming work.
Just like the prosperous development of Summit Entertainment, it is also advancing rapidly!
On February 14, Summit Entertainment and Paramount Pictures held a press conference.
At the meeting, Summit Entertainment announced the acquisition of Paramount’s special effects company Digital Domain at a market price of US$178 million. Summit Entertainment CEO Mitchell said at the press conference: “This acquisition of D2 is a close link in Summit Entertainment’s global strategy.
, D2 is a great special effects company, and being able to cooperate with D2 will definitely bring a new leap to Summit Entertainment."
On the same day, the official website of Summit Entertainment released the news: "The Summit Special Effects Company under Summit Entertainment will be integrated into D2 as a whole and merged with the Dream Chase Special Effects Company under Dream Chase Jiahe to form D2. D2 is the special effects company of Dream Chase Jiahe."
The company. Jiahe D2 will take the Chinese market as an opportunity to find new ways to rise."
John Textow, the former CEO of D2, has been officially appointed as the CEO of Jiahe D2. He left a message on the official website: "D2 has been losing money for more than three years. We have strong special effects processing capabilities and are good at solving 80% of the problems in post-production.
Problem, solve 20 problems in 3D. D2’s 3D technology research and development capabilities are world-class, and its use of Houdini (3D graphics processing software) is also world-class. However, we have not achieved outstanding technical results in our operations. This
Being able to join a large company that is rising globally and move into an emerging film market with huge potential, I and all the employees of Jiahe D2 are full of confidence!"
Shao Shuaijun, who was currently filming, took the time to meet with John Textow after receiving the news of the successful acquisition of D2, and had a semi-formal conversation about the prospects of the special effects industry. From the reform of special effects technology to the future of movies
We talked about everything about the direction of development and it was quite pleasant.
Shao Shuaijun then published an article on his Twitter and Time: "John and I talked about the future development of Jiahe D2. We both believe that focusing on the Chinese market is the best way for D2 to transform. Chasing Dream Entertainment Future
There are many movies to be produced, whether IMAX or 3D, which require a lot of special effects processing. Golden Harvest D2 will be a powerful supplement for the company. Oh, by the way, the second filming of "Nighthawks" has been named "Nighthawks: Reflection"
", the filming has reached the final stage, and I am full of expectations for it!"
Several pieces of news were released one after another, and the situation in the global film industry was immediately thrown into chaos.
When Time Magazine voted for Person of the Year in 2010, Shao Shuaijun narrowly lost to Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and missed out on the year-end cover. As a result, this week, the US version of Time Magazine selected Shao Shuaijun as the cover person again.
The cover inscription given by Time Magazine is: "His change in the world is getting bigger and bigger!"
Since entering Hollywood single-handedly in 2006, based on Summit Entertainment, Shao Shuaijun has completely rewritten the pattern of Hollywood that has lasted for decades. He acquired Marvel Comics, hit the top six, financed Lionsgate Pictures, and became the box office champion in 2010. Plan
It acquired MGM and now it has acquired D2, one of the best special effects companies in Hollywood.
What Shao Shuaijun has achieved may not have as huge an impact and influence as the Facebook established by Zuckerberg, which changed the entire way teenagers socialize. But Shao Shuaijun’s influence is lasting and far-reaching. In this era of global interconnection
, whoever controls public opinion will be the uncrowned king.
Undoubtedly, the youngest uncrowned king is Shao Shuaijun!
In the past, Summit Entertainment focused on movies, and its influence was still limited. However, this year it has begun to make frequent moves. This is to create a kingdom of public opinion. "Times" believes that Summit Entertainment's actions are not just these few steps. Last year, it was
Summit Entertainment makes too much money.
Only by being able to spend money can you continue to make money. Summit Entertainment will definitely spend money in 2011.
"We can expect that in the future, this young man who represents the 'World Dream' will have greater and greater impact on the United States and the world. Such an outstanding young man is the trend-setter of the times!" "Times"
Finally, I ended my introduction to Shao Shuaijun with this concluding sentence.
Time Magazine's prediction was spot on.
Zuckerberg used Facebook's IPO to gain unlimited wealth, and then began to acquire various companies to build an Internet empire.
Shao Shuaijun also gained unlimited wealth through Dream Chasing Entertainment, and then began this year to acquire entertainment companies on a large scale to build an entertainment empire.
The media is immersed in the clamor of the acquisition of D2. The American media has reported relatively little on this acquisition. D2 has been losing money every year, and it is foreseeable that it will be acquired. The domestic media is reporting crazyly. It can be said that there are no special effects companies in China.
, it can also be said that there are no blockbusters. Now Dream Chaser Entertainment has finally begun to show its power and acquired D2. From now on, the world's special effects giant will be a Chinese company.
How could it not please people's hearts?
Only Dream Chasing Entertainment has the courage to maintain a firm layout despite the gloomy situation in the special effects industry.
Establishing a new electronic technology research institute, stocking up on new film technologies, and acquiring top special effects companies are all major moves that shocked the Chinese film industry.
But just when everyone thought that the acquisition of D2 was Summit Entertainment’s biggest move in the special effects industry, a week later, another bombshell dropped in the entertainment industry.
"Breaking news! Summit Entertainment has signed a contract with George Lucas, the father of Star Wars, and both parties jointly submitted an acquisition offer to the U.S. government. After acquiring D2, Summit Entertainment has set its sights on Lucas, who owns ILM
The movie industry’s ambition to integrate the special effects industry is clear!” - The New York Times front page headline.
Originally, Summit Entertainment planned to release the news after the acquisition was confirmed, but as the New York Times unexpectedly obtained the news and disclosed it, there was no need to hide it. In a subsequent acquisition statement from Summit Entertainment
, it is confirmed that Summit Entertainment will spend US$3.95 billion to acquire Lucasfilm with half cash and half stock!"
"Summit Entertainment has gone crazy again, acquiring Lucasfilm at a sky-high price in order to build a giant aircraft carrier in the special effects industry! It is reported that George Lucas will give up Lucasfilm in exchange for 3.4 shares of Summit Entertainment, which is second only to
Shao Shuaijun and Mitchell Bruce have become the third largest individual shareholders of Summit Entertainment! Lucasfilm's status will be on an equal footing with Marvel Comics, and they will only report to Li Xiuxiu, general manager of Dream Entertainment Group!" - "Wall Street
Daily headlines.
"The New York Stock Exchange has confirmed that Lucasfilm is officially listed today and will stop stock trading. It will wait for the acquisition to be confirmed before trading." - "The Times".
It was a big earthquake that shocked everyone.
In just one hour, the news spread all over the world. As the undisputed leader of the special effects industry, Industrial Light and Magic under Lucasfilm is definitely a symbol of Hollywood, surpassing D2 by more than ten times. And Lucasfilm
It’s not just ILM, there’s also the “Star Wars” series of movies that are famous all over the world.
"The transaction has been completed for 80 days, and only the final review by the U.S. government's antitrust organization is needed, and Lucasfilm will become a subsidiary of Summit Entertainment."
"Summit Entertainment held a press conference, and Shao Shuaijun, the next generation king of the world, and George Lucas, the father of Star Wars, confirmed to attend the press conference!"
The news can be said to have bombarded the world, and the whole world has paid attention to this upcoming press conference. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
