"People" magazine chose Shao Shuaijun as the cover character of this issue, describing in detail Shao Shuaijun's road to fame and his earth-shaking rise in less than ten years. Media reports on Shao Shuaijun are not new.
That's just the story, copied over and over again.
But don’t mention it, readers just like to read this kind of story and never tire of it. Any report related to Shao Shuaijun will increase sales. If it happens to report some new stories about him, it will be even more incredible and will definitely sell out.
Of course, the continuation of "Iron Man 3" is nothing new. A few media outlets are clinging to Shao Shuaijun, while most media outlets are reporting on the current North American box office battle.
A global masterpiece, the highly anticipated sequel "Despicable Me 2", a Disney annual drama, "The Lone Ranger" with an investment of 250 million US dollars, everyone believes that this will be an earth-shattering box office success
War, all movies of the same period will die tragically.
The Chinese-language fantasy movie with a good reputation, "The Legend of White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake" is no exception.
However, there is a word in this world called "unexpected", and two names are called "parallel import" and "dark horse". Joy is always everywhere and unpredictable.
The small-scale release of "Kevin Hart: I Just Laugh" grossed 10.1 million US dollars in 876 theaters, which surprised the film studio. "Man of Steel" took another 11.01 million US dollars in its fourth week, accumulating 260 million US dollars in North America.
, as a rebooted version of the Superman series, it can be said that it has completed its scheduled tasks in a satisfactory manner.
"Monsters University", "Armageddon", and "The End of the World" all have a box office in the range of 10 to 20 million US dollars, and "Dragon" ranked fourth with 22 million US dollars. "Despicable Me 2" is indeed Universal's top performer
, with US$81.5 million, topped the box office list this week. As an animated film, the box office is super perfect.
If the above movies are all predictable, then the second and third places are a bit confusing.
"The Lone Ranger" only received a pitiful $27.65 million. It received poor reviews and poor box office. It is definitely Disney's biggest money loser this year. Even if Johnny Depp is the most expensive man in Hollywood, he cannot change the ending of the movie.
"White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" simply beat "The Lone Ranger" and received US$30.6 million. Not only was it not squeezed out among the blockbusters, but it broke through strongly. The North American box office totaled US$84.7 million, and it is not difficult to exceed 100 million US dollars.
So far, the global box office has reached 371 million US dollars, successfully surpassing "Oldboy" and becoming the Chinese film box office champion.
""Despicable Me 2" is in line with expectations, "White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake" is full of tenacity, and "The Lone Ranger" loses money and is embarrassing. Chinese-language movies are temporarily on the rise, and Disney has become the biggest loser!" - "Hollywood Entertainment Report".
Just when everyone started making fun of "The Lone Ranger", riding on Xiao Qing's crazy box office power, Golden Harvest Entertainment held a press conference in Hong Kong. The title of the press conference was the comprehensive launch ceremony of the first phase of the Four Magic Series
.Many Chinese-language directors, as well as international directors such as James Cameron, attended the press conference.
The spokesperson is Yang Ying, with a beautiful ponytail: "I am very happy that friends from the media are here. This press conference has three themes. The first theme is to congratulate director Chen Jiashang for his work on "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake"
”, which has already earned a global box office of US$371 million. Now, please let Director Chen say a few words.”
Chen Jiashang is slightly bald and has a round face with a bright smile: "I have been the most proud of my life recently. As a director, others will always compare you with other directors, saying who has won which award, who has won the award, and who has won the award.
So-and-so’s movies have made so many box office purchases. As a director of the same generation as Shao Shuaijun and Li Eucalyptus, it is a very tragic thing. When it comes to directors who will win awards, everyone thinks of Li Eucalyptus first. When it comes to directors who have good box office, everyone thinks
I will think of Shao Shuaijun first."
"However, now that everyone is talking about the box office, I can finally add that, the Chinese-language film with the highest box office in the world was made by me, not Shao Shuaijun. Haha, it's really comfortable. Thank you, Director Shao, for inviting me to join Four
The Grand Magic series gave me a lot of guidance during the filming process of the movie, how to make a movie more in line with international trends. Thanks to Jiahe Entertainment for providing us with such a good shooting platform, and thanks to special effects companies such as D2 and ILM.
Your hard work has brought about the success of this film. Thank you to all the viewers. Your support is the driving force for our film to continue to produce good works."
"It seems that Director Chen is really happy. The smile on the corner of his mouth has never disappeared." Yang Ying took over the topic, "Director Chen has thanked so many people. As an audience member, I also want to express my gratitude to Director Chen.
You have dedicated a wonderful movie to us...The second topic is director James Cameron, who will come to China to direct "The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven." Next, I would like to invite Director Cameron to speak."
Cameron, who doesn't speak English, said something with a translator: "I'm very happy to be able to come to China to make a movie. I watched "White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake". I think the movie is even more beautiful than I imagined. I'm very excited to be able to participate in it."
I am sincerely honored by this project. I will work with everyone to make "The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" a great movie."
Cameron spoke very briefly and had no intention of saying more. Yang Ying filled in the blanks and started the third topic.
This topic is about Shao Shuaijun's new movie.
Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "I originally planned to make a movie first. I already had a name for it. It's called "The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer." I just waited for Director Chen's movie to make money before I started shooting. But then I thought about it.
, I feel that directly depicting the battle of deer cannot portray the image of the Yellow Emperor well. As one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor has carried a lot of respect from us Chinese, and I hope to portray him more fully and humanely."
"So, in the end, I decided to start from scratch and shoot a trilogy, telling the story of the growth of the Yellow Emperor, the war between Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, and the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. The shooting method will be three consecutive shots to ensure that the film is in style and
Story continuity."
"So, Director Shao, can you tell us about the story of the movie?" As soon as Shao Shuaijun finished speaking, the reporter couldn't wait to ask.
Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "The story of the movie is based on the legend of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era. After adaptation, it may be slightly different from the legend."
"What are the names of the new trilogy?"
"It is tentatively scheduled to be the first part "Yellow Emperor: The Rise of the Bear", the second part "Yellow Emperor: The War between Yan and Huang", and the third part "Yellow Emperor: Dragon Totem"."
"How will the main actors be chosen?"
"The Yellow Emperor trilogy will have a strong magical color, and the characters and animals will be contrary to reality. Therefore, 80% of the shots in the movie will be created with special effects, and the cost will be very huge. So.
"My idea is that there is no need for stars. Of course, if the stars are willing to reduce their pay to participate in the movie, I very much welcome it. I will wait and see the box office after the release, and maybe I will make up for it by giving red envelopes." Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.
The influence of Chinese celebrities in the world is too small. It makes no difference whether they are invited or not. Shao Shuaijun is not willing to waste money. If a star is willing to reduce his salary, it is worth considering. If you can become a star, your acting skills must be high.
The reporters asked questions one after another. However, "The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" and the Yellow Emperor trilogy were still in the confidentiality stage, and nothing more was revealed in depth. The press conference, which lasted about two hours, passed by unknowingly.
Next, Shao Shuaijun officially launched the crew preparation and casting plan for the Yellow Emperor trilogy.
The crew's preparation was very simple because it was decided very early.
The producers are Shao Shuaijun, James Cameron and Wang Wei, among whom Shao Shuaijun will also serve as the producer of "The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" for Cameron.
The director of the directing team is Shao Shuaijun, the executive director is Gao Zhisheng, the action directors are Dong Wei and Cheng Xiaodong, the assistant directors are Jiang Zhigang and Yang Ying, and the director assistant is Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang. Zhang Mo once directed "No Longer Let You Be Lonely", which also had a box office
Not bad, but the subsequent films he directed were just so-so. This time he came to be his apprentice.
The photography team are also old acquaintances, including Huang Yuetai, Lu Le and others who have worked with Shao Shuaijun on many movies. The lighting team, props team, and makeup team are all people who have worked with him in the past. It can be said that these people are Shao Shuaijun's team.
For this filming, China Film Group will cooperate to provide assistance to the crew in arranging venues and personnel. Moreover, not only Dream Chaser and Summit Entertainment will participate in financial investment, but also several other domestic film companies. The four major
The fantasy series is not something that can be eaten alone by chasing dreams.
Moreover, chasing dreams has passed the stage of being able to eat alone. Cooperation can lead to a win-win situation.
But no matter how much capital there is, in the crew, only Shao Shuaijun is the biggest, and all things are decided by Shao Shuaijun. This is the case with this casting. Without Shao Shuaijun's consent, even if it is only a small role, no one else has the right to do it. Decision. In the past, Shao Shuaiju was very easy-going. For ordinary small roles, the decisions of the people below him were decided.
The Yellow Emperor trilogy is different. In Shao Shuaijun's mind, this will be an epoch-making Chinese-language drama, with no room for flaws. Shao Shuaijun will personally audition for every role. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! )
