On February 25, "Crazy Racing" began to promote. With the success of "The Stone", Huayi Brothers spared no effort in promoting this movie. Today, Huayi Brothers, after financing from TOM Group, "Crazy Stone" and "
The two films "A World Without Thieves" have made huge profits and have become the well-deserved leader of private entertainment companies in the mainland.
Many theater chains, even without advertising fees, took the initiative to promote "Crazy Race" during the movie breaks.
Before Ning Hao and Huang Bo went to promote, they came to the studio and signed a contract to subscribe for shares in Shao Shuaijun Studio. Ning Hao subscribed for 5% of the shares and Huang Bo subscribed for 7% of the shares. It’s not that they didn’t want more.
Subscription, but he had no money in hand. Ning Hao had not made any money from his previous two films, so the million was still considered a loan. Huang Bo was a little better, with a salary of 500,000 for the racing film, plus 300,000 from Shitou's dividends, and he paid back
If you can take out 800,000, the remaining 600,000 will be considered as a loan.
Xu Zheng also came over to sign the contract and directly subscribed for 10% of the shares. He and his wife Xiao Longnv had worked hard in the entertainment industry for many years and had some savings, so they directly paid 2 million.
These 2 million and Huang Bo's 800,000 relieved Shao Shuaijun, who was recently financially strapped. All his money was invested in movies. He spent $500,000 to buy "Twilight" and borrowed it from Huayi Brothers. "Buried Alive"
It was a hit, but he didn't get a penny. "Racing" and "Source Code" haven't been released yet.
The entire Shao Shuaijun studio was in a situation of running out of funds.
The investment in "Unfortunate Road" can only be postponed until the profits from the racing come back before filming can begin.
Under such a situation, the promotion of racing was in full swing, and Shao Shuaijun quietly came to the studio of "Interview with Yang Lan". Yang Lan is a very enterprising woman. In 2000, she established Sunshine TV, and her net worth soared to
1.4 billion, and started hosting "Interviews with Yang Lan" in 2001.
This is a program full of humanistic atmosphere and is very popular among social elites.
With Shao Shuaijun's qualifications, being able to participate in this program is entirely due to the recent popularity of "Buried Alive". There is no way, it is the first time in the history of mainland Chinese movies to have such a high box office in North America, and Shao Shuaijun himself is only eighteen years old.
Oh, nineteen years old. The topic is really strong.
Meeting with Yang Lan in the studio, Yang Lan shook hands with Shao Shuaijun cordially and said hello. Then his assistant brought an interview script for Shao Shuaijun to read. The script was very simple. It just talked about how Shao Shuaijun embarked on the road of movies and his interest in movies.
How do you view it, as well as stories from your childhood, while promoting the new movie "Source Code" and so on.
After confirming that there was no problem, the two of them met face to face, pointed several cameras, and started the formal recording. Of course, the program is not just a conversation, but also has introductory words and narration interspersed in the middle, but these do not require Shao Shuaijun
To participate, he only needs to chat here for two hours.
Yang Lan made a gesture to the director outside the scene, and then said: "Shao Shuaijun, I am very happy to invite you to "Interview with Yang Lan" today. I have interviewed many people, but a young director like Shao Shuaijun, you are still the first
Times. "Source Code" has an investment of over 100 million and is your biggest movie. Do you feel any pressure?"
Shao Shuaijun was still a little embarrassed in front of the camera: "Actually, there was no pressure at the beginning. Once I identified a script, I would confirm the commercial value of the script. So when I decided to shoot, I was very confident. However,
, later many people badmouthed the movie, which indeed added a lot of pressure to me."
"If you were asked to describe it, what kind of movie do you think this is?"
"Science fiction is the first element. Well, love also plays a large part in it. I hope it is a good story, a movie that can make you feel, experience and be amazed after watching it."
"Wow, that sounds like a cool movie. So, what kind of characters are there in it?"
"There were some scientists and some passengers on the train. In fact, the scene was not very big. The main reason was that the setting of the story was very attractive. I originally thought of this setting. In order to realize it, I worked with Teacher Chen Bin from the Institute of Theory, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
I’ve been taking a class on quantum theory and parallel universes for a long time, it’s going to be cool.”
"Ah, it's cool. From the perspective of another viewer, when I watch a movie, what moves me the most is the characters in it. What do you think is the character in this movie that we should look forward to the most?
?”
"Of course it is the male protagonist. This story begins to unfold with him as the center. Everything is about his thoughts, which constitutes the tension in the movie."
"Oh, so you play the hero in the movie yourself, and the heroine is played by Liu Yifei. Can you briefly talk about the love between you?"
"How should I put it? This love has no reason or result. It is just dotted in the plot as a catharsis of emotions. I designed it to be a very beautiful love, and only beautiful things can set it off.
Those, uh, regrets. But the general manager of our studio said that I am a romantic, and I can’t figure out whether this love is romantic or realistic, haha.”
"Does this character reflect your view of the world, or your view of love?"
"I don't know, I've never been in love..."
"Ah, haha." Yang Lan said with a smile, "I heard that you graduated from high school and went to Hengdian to work as a floater. Does your family object to your going to Hengdian?"
"I am very opposed to it, but I was also stubborn at the time. I wanted to take the Nortel exam, get into theater, and get into theater. If I couldn't pass the exam, I would stop studying! Only when I get to Hengdian and really become a Hengdian, will you be able to
You know, life in Hengdiao is really very hard. Especially for those of us who play dead bodies. In the cold winter, if you are filming a summer scene, you have to wear single clothes and lie on the ground. If the actor cannot pass in one go, you have to
Lying down and not thinking about it for several hours sometimes can freeze you to death."
Shao Shuaijun talked about his original experience with deep emotion: "I later worked hard to learn directing knowledge, just because I didn't want to live such a hard life anymore. Fortunately, I succeeded in filming "Buried Alive", and that's where I am now."
To be honest, my success is accidental. The experience of horizontal rafting for more than half a year has allowed me to understand the society and accumulate some skills. More people may still do horizontal rafting just to be hungry and full."
"It is indeed very hard to drift horizontally, but you succeeded later, so why did you go to Nortel to study again?"
"Haha. Speaking of which, I am really incompetent as a student, so I never went to class." Shao Shuaijun smiled awkwardly, "Although I made a movie, it didn't break. But I feel a lot of shortcomings, so I just shot it now
Movies have a very simple structure. For example, "Source Code" is not a big production like Hollywood. Even so, I feel very strenuous, especially when it comes to special effects shooting. I am a director who advocates blockbusters, especially
When I saw a big production like "Lord of the Rings", my heart jumped out of my chest, and I thought about making movies like that in the future. Therefore, I joined Nortel, hoping to learn more about this aspect."
