Just as Shao Shuaijun was preparing to have dinner with Katzenberg, the three-day weekend in North America from March 4th to March 6th came to an end. Four new movies were released this week, "Rango" and "The Bureau of Destiny".
"Beastie Boys" and a literary film "Weakness" from Summit Entertainment.
"Weakness", a literary film that did not have high expectations, brought quite a surprise, with US$34.12 million in three weekends, ranking second only to "Rango" with US$38 million.
In addition to the box office, word-of-mouth is also very good, and it was well received and well-received.
This year's box office offensive for Summit Entertainment has started after the dismal low-budget films in January and February were swept away.
After having dinner with Katzenberg, Shao Shuaijun will return to San Francisco. Katzenberg is bald and wears glasses. He looks more scholarly than businessman, but after all, he is the chairman of Disney Studio.
, his eloquence is very good, sometimes Shao Shuaijun can’t get in the conversation.
Shao Shuaijun felt that he did not have any good organization to convince Katzenberg. He just explained the status of Dream Entertainment in China and the relationship network, and also said that Dream Entertainment straddles the Internet and entertainment industry.
Based on these two industries, we have the ambition to join the ranks of the top major studios.
It was not obvious at the dinner table that Katzenberg was interested in Shao Shuaijun's words, but at the end, Katzenberg seemed to ask politely: "Does Director Shao think there is a future for animated films?"
"I think animated movies will not decline over time. On the contrary, in the future, animated movies will occupy a larger share of the movie market and a larger share of movie peripherals." Shao Shuaijun answered this way.
Then, without saying anything more, he said goodbye politely.
Lying on the bed at home, Shao Shuaijun was still thinking about whether DreamWorks could be acquired.
After a while, Li Xiuxiu walked in wearing pajamas.
"Did you give your son to your mother?" Shao Shuaijun asked.
"kindness."
Putting aside the company's affairs, Shao Shuaijun became interested: "Well, it's a long night, let's do something..."
On March 8, Shao Shuaijun, who had been flying around, finally calmed down and flew to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. The "Avengers" crew was already waiting here. Once Shao Shuaijun was in place, filming would start immediately.
This launch is also the highest-profile launch ceremony for Shao Shuaijun in the years he has been making movies. Not only is "Avengers" famous, but it has long been popular as a superhero team. It is not just the joining of big-name stars, and more
That is, the total investment in this film exceeds US$200 million, making it the most expensive film Shao Shuaijun has ever made and the largest investment film ever produced by Summit Entertainment.
For this "Avengers", Marvel Comics and Summit Entertainment have spared no effort in publicity and promotion.
In the first of the Marvel Cinematic Universe trio, The Avengers, The Avengers is the final film and the one that unites all the previous films. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a reimagined comic book story with only one
The general main line runs through all the movies, and the specific movie content needs to be improved by the screenwriter.
As early as after acquiring Marvel Comics, Shao Shuaijun started drafting the script for "The Avengers".
The movie will take over the previously released "The Incredible Hulk", "Iron Man", "Iron Man 2", as well as "Thor" and "Captain America" that are about to be released. Since the script creation is relatively early, whether it is The Punisher or
Soul Chariot can no longer be added. Therefore, only six heroes will appear in this women's union, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye.
The script is very simple.
It tells the story of a sudden and powerful evil force that poses a fatal threat to the earth. No superhero can resist it alone. SHIELD, which has long been committed to protecting global security, was caught off guard. Its commander "Nick Fury" realized that he must
Only by creating the strongest alliance organization in history and gathering superheroes from all sides to show off their power can we save the world from dire straits and resist the invasion of dark forces.
So the six superheroes "Iron Man" Tony Stark, "Thor" Thor, "Captain America" Steve Roger, "Hulk" Bruce Banner, "Black Widow" Na
The Avengers formed by Tasha Romanoff and "Hawkeye" Clint Barton came into being. They showed their talents and united as one to finally defeat the evil forces and ensure the safety of the earth.
Arriving at the set in Albuquerque, Shao Shuaijun and the cast and crew finally met.
"Hi, are you all okay?" Looking at the cast and crew gathered together, Shao Shuaijun waved his hand like a leader making inspections and almost said hello to comrades.
"Hello, director." Everyone laughed and greeted each other scatteredly.
Shao Shuaijun nodded and then cleared his throat: "I'm sorry that I was delayed for a few days because of some trivial matters. I will be interviewed by reporters later. Now let's get acquainted with each other. I, Shao Shuaijun, I believe you all know,
I am the director of "Inception" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and I am also a participant and developer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan. We will spend the next four to five months together. I am a very talkative person.
My directorial belief is to enjoy every moment of filming. I won’t care what you do in private, just be devoted in front of my camera. Okay, who of you comes first, Iron Man?"
Iron Man is Iron Man Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., who has become famous in the past two years.
Tony Stark is the heir to Stark Industries and is super rich. His father Howard is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. During a kidnapping accident, Tony invented a set of super-powered flying armors.

Iron Man has previously appeared in the movies "Iron Man", "Iron Man 2", and "The Incredible Hulk".
Robert Jr. and Shao Shuaijun are not strangers. After making some playful self-introductions, Shao Shuaijun asked again: "Who is coming next, Black Widow?"
Black Widow Natasha Romanoff is played by Scarlett Johansson, the leading actress of Shaw Brothers.
Black Widow was originally a Russian female agent of the secret organization S.H.I.E.L.D., with a graceful figure, good looks, clear mind, quick actions, extraordinary skills, toughness and fierceness, she was an elite agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Natasha was initially assigned to S.H.I.E.L.D.
As an undercover agent within Tucker Industries, she was responsible for monitoring Iron Man Tony Stark, and later officially joined the Avengers. She was also the only female member of the Women's Federation that formed the army this time.
Black Widow has previously appeared in the movie "Iron Man 2".
After Scarlett introduced herself, it was Thor's turn, played by Jack Gyllenhaal, the general of the Shaw Army.
Thor is a non-Earth human member of the Women's Federation. He comes from the Asgard world on the other side of the universe. He is the heir of the Asgard God King Odin. Because of his youth, arrogance, recklessness and uprightness, he was exiled to the Earth and brought the Earth to Earth.
He regards it as his own guardian place. His biggest concern is to maintain the peace of the universe and at the same time handle the relationship with the villain brother.
Thor has not yet met the audience, but in May this year, "Thor" will be released.
After Gyllenhaal, it was the turn of Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo.
The Hulk was originally a scientist, Dr. Bruce Banner, who was accidentally injured by gamma rays during an experiment. Then he discovered that when he fell into anger or fear, his uncontrollable heartbeat accelerated and he would transform.
He became a green burly man with a huge physique, infinite strength but no control over his will. Dr. Banner was always looking for a way to cure this "lesion". He was recruited to join the Women's Federation because of his terrifying strength.
The Hulk has previously appeared in the movie "The Incredible Hulk".

Captain America has not yet met the audience. In August this year, "Captain America" will be released.
After Chris introduced himself, it was the turn of the last superhero, Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner.
Hawkeye is an orphan who grew up in a circus. Because of his superb archery skills, he was recognized by SHIELD commander Nick Fury and joined the Women's Federation. Hawkeye acts quickly and boldly, has a low-key and calm personality, and can hit the target with perfect accuracy.
Good at sniping. In the movie, Hawkeye and Black Widow have a little emotional entanglement.
Hawkeye will appear in "Thor", but only in a small number of scenes.
After the six superheroes introduced themselves, Tom Hiddleston, who plays the villain Loki, began to introduce himself.
Loki is Thor's younger brother, but he is not his biological brother. He was picked up by Odin on the battlefield. In the process of growing up seeking father's love and fair treatment, Loki gradually lost his reason and balance. His desire for power made him
He embarked on the path of rebellion. After being exiled, he formed a huge army to attack the earth.
Loki will also be the first to appear in "Thor".
After Tom finished speaking, it was the turn of Nick Fury, the commander of SHIELD, who was played by Samuel L. Jackson.
Nick Fury, also known as One-Eyed Man, is also a product of the Super Soldier Rebirth Project. However, compared to Captain America, he is slightly inferior, but he can also delay aging. He is the leader of SHIELD and the Women's Federation.
Convener.
Basically, these eight are the main actors of "The Avengers" and some of the big names present today. Others are like Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays Iron Man's girlfriend Pepper Potts, and the seventh-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Clark Gregg, who plays the role, and Cobie Smulders, who plays Level 9 Agent, were not present because they did not have roles and were not starring.
After starring, each cast member briefly introduced themselves.

Now, let's go to be interviewed by reporters and warm up first." (To be continued. Please search for Piao Tian Literature, novels. Better updates faster!)
