From August 19th to 21st, 2011, the four-week performance of "Captain America" was US$160 million in North America and US$290 million globally. The box office was not as good as expected. However, considering the special status of Captain America, it is already very good to achieve this result.

"The last one was able to sell 830 million U.S. dollars, and the entire Twilight series has reached a total box office of 3.3 billion U.S. dollars. No one hopes that such a movie will end. There are only four key novels, and we certainly hope that it can continue
I still don’t know how to do it, maybe it would be a good idea to turn Twilight into a TV series." Mitchell Bruce said with high spirits.
After the reorganization of Dream Chaser, he has truly become a BOSS-level big shot. He is currently the CEO of Summit Entertainment Group and the chairman of the board of directors. Of course, his power is also limited. Dream Chaser Holdings occupies the absolute equity. If you want to change someone, you can change him in a minute.
thing.
August is about to pass, and Summit Entertainment’s sequel to another blockbuster movie, “The Expendables 2,” is released.
At this time, huge cheers erupted on a set in Los Angeles.
"The Women's Federation is finalized!"
"Ooooooo!"
The spraying of champagne represents the completion of Shao Shuaijun's fourteenth and technically the thirteenth movie "Avengers". It took five months and more than a hundred days and nights to make this film, which invested US$200 million and is another
A large-scale production worth 40 million US dollars was added one after another, and finally it was edited into a master tape, which was handed over to companies such as D2, ILM and Weta Digital to continue post-production.
Recently, the production of "Night Watcher: Reflection" has been completed, and Shao Shuaijun can rest assured.
On August 28, 2011, the 14th China Film Huabiao Awards was held at the Beijing Exhibition Hall. The Huabiao Awards are held every two years to recognize outstanding films released in China within two years. As a government award, Shao Shuaijun also
I was embarrassed not to go, but the above was interesting enough, and it gave Shao Shuaijun face and dignity. "Oldboy", released the year before last, won three nominations for Outstanding Feature Film, Outstanding Director, and Outstanding Film Music. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" also won the Outstanding Translated Film Award.
Nominate.
In the end, Shao Shuaijun won the Outstanding Feature Film (9 in total), the Outstanding Director Award (Double Yolk Egg), and the Outstanding Film Music Award. The Outstanding Translated Film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" lost to "Avatar". He said some nonsense as a speech, and
Having dinner and bragging with several leaders ended the award ceremony.
After returning from winning the award, "Life of Pi" has also entered the second half of filming. Shao Shuaijun, the producer, finally took on the work he should do and worked with Li Eucalyptus to study "Life of Pi"
》All the difficulties encountered in 3D shooting. This part of the difficulty is mainly shooting sea shots and animal shots.
The filming locations were in the mainland and Baodao, and Shao Shuaijun's family also moved back to China.
"The elevation and depression angles of this shooting can be used to create the angle of a fly's eye, and then the scenery can be replaced with special effects, so that the tranquility and serenity of the sea can be shown."
In the world's largest fully automatic wave device tank, a group of film crew members, surrounded by Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, were discussing the 3D photography problem of shooting water reflections. The lead actor Sura Sharma was nervously putting on makeup because she had to
When shooting in water, the makeup is often blurred by the water, so you have to keep reapplying it.
"But to shoot a scene of a whale jumping out of the water, what method do you have to use to imitate a whale emerging from the water? Only then can we create a 3D scene of a whale emerging from the water." A special effects engineer from ILM said.
"Can we use the trajectory of the wooden piles as a guide?" Li Yu asked.
"The workload is huge. It is necessary to depict the detailed body shape of the whale and the splashing state of the water surface. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effect may not be good."
Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "Let's do this. We'll use props to make the water look like water, and then use fluorescence to blur the whale. What do you think? Director Li, what do you think, does it have a strong image impact if the whale is coated with fluorescence?
"
"This is a very good idea, once the picture will add a lot of beauty, that's it!" Li Yu said in surprise.
"Life of Pi" is the highlight, and Shao Shuaijun put a lot of energy into it, almost immersing himself in the shooting scene. He discussed with Li Yu and the crew, and Li Yu's artistic achievements gave Shao Shuaijun a lot to think about.
And his business thinking has also infected Li Yu. Together, we gain new gains every day.
Li Yu and Shao Shuaijun, two of the world's great directors, also imparted their experience to the Chinese filmmakers around them. Over time, more and more directors came to visit the class. This place is no longer a crew, but a laboratory, where everyone works together.
, all participated in the filming and worked hard to make "Life of Pi" more beautiful.
Supervising the post-production of "The Avengers" and supervising the filming of "Life of Pi", the days are still busy. Time flies, September flies by, "Captain America" has a global revenue of 361 million US dollars, "The Expendables 2"
"" also surpassed the first one, reaching a box office of 300 million US dollars. It is still unreleased in Japan and other box office, and it is conservatively estimated that 330 million US dollars will not escape.
"The Conjuring", which was released on September 23 and directed by Chinese director James Wan, topped the weekly championship with US$40 million. It has a very good reputation. As a low-cost horror film, I have to say that this is a perfect debut.
Show. Since Lionsgate Pictures merged with Summit Entertainment, the few horror movies released have not achieved such outstanding results.
On September 30, 2011, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu lurked into a Santa Monica movie theater.
Today is the day that Shao Shuaijun's real debut film "The Nighthawks: Reflection" is released in North America.
As a remake of a failed product, it didn't receive much attention.
It is all supported by Shao Shuaijun's current fame, so the film has no premiere or large-scale release. It is only released in 2,468 theaters in North America.
Today is also the first time that Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu went to the cinema to watch a movie together in more than a year. Ever since they were pregnant, things have been going on, leaving no time for them to freely manage. Now, the burden has been lifted, and Xiao Shao is getting older.
, I felt relieved to leave it to my grandparents to take with me. The two of them finally resumed their world of young lovers.
"Are you a little nervous?" Li Xiuxiu asked while eating popcorn before the movie started.
Shao Shuaijun shook his head relaxedly: "Fortunately, I was already on the road anyway, this time I am a dead horse and a living horse doctor. I am happy to succeed, but it is just a failed attempt. I am still young, so it is okay to experience some failures.
What?" Shao Shuaijun has tried his best to pick this thorn. If he fails, it can be regarded as a kind of growth. As he said himself, he is still young and has plenty of time to polish it.
Having directed so many blockbuster movies, even if the memory of the previous life cheated, it was still directed by him, and a little bit of self-confidence was still built up.
Watching "Night Watcher: Reflection" again, it seems indifferent.
"Anyway, I think I can succeed. Come on, husband, open your mouth." Li Xiuxiu said with confidence, then grabbed a piece of popcorn and put it into Shao Shuaijun's mouth.
Amid the flirting, the cinema gradually became quiet, and the official screening began on the big screen.
After the Summit Entertainment logo, the screen went black, followed by the sound of drunken voices and the sound of punches and kicks.
"Isn't this Thomas whose wife died? Haha, he's getting drunk here. Yohoo, he took some of my brothers' seats and beat him up!"
After the crackling, subtitles slowly appeared on the dark screen.
"Starring, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kelly Nester."
"Producers, Shao Shuaijun, Mitchell Bruce, Louis Leinard."
"..."
After the subtitles of the starring and the producer appeared, the screen flashed and lit up quickly. Thomas, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, was being taken into prison. At the door, Thomas smiled gloomily: "I am the night watchman, you will always be there."
You can’t lock me down!”
The picture flashed, and then the subtitles reappeared.
"Director Shao Shuaijun, after four years, Night Watcher returns in reflection."
Then, the plot of the movie officially began.
Thomas, played by Gyllenhaal, was curled up on the ground covered in blood while several gangsters were beating him. Thomas held his head in his hands and seemed to be sobbing.
At this time, in the distance of the dark and silent street, I remembered the sound of footsteps hitting the ground with leather shoes.
The gangsters were still punching and kicking, but Thomas suddenly raised his head and saw a figure in a black trench coat walking past, then squatting down in front of him. His trench coat had a high collar and a hat.
Because of the light, only one gloomy eye was exposed.
A hoarse voice that sounded like it was coming from hell said from the man in black: "Do you see a mirror in the corner? You can cross it. After crossing it, others can no longer hurt you!"
The camera zoomed out, and the gangsters were still punching and kicking, but they didn't seem to see the man in black. In Thomas' confused and muddy eyes, the man in black heard the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground again, and gradually disappeared. Thomas
He was in a daze, and he summoned the strength from nowhere, and suddenly rushed towards the mirror in the corner.
The mirror unexpectedly shattered, and Thomas was like a ghost, crossing the mirror and disappearing into the eyes of the gangster.
"Damn it, where's Thomas? He got away with it all." Several gangsters burped after drinking. Their search was hopeless and they returned to the bar to drink.
The lens is dark, as if a person is opening his eyes and seeing a blurry iron fence.
There was some distant voice, as if someone was scolding: "What's going on? Whoever told you to fight, please be honest and go back! You two, put this and this in confinement!"
Eyes suddenly opened... (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
