"Sister Xiuxiu, how do you think the company should be run?" Shao Shuaijun felt that he was not a qualified rebirther and decided to refer to the advice of professionals.
Li Xiuxiu drank coffee leisurely: "It depends on how you view your career. To be honest, managers like you the most. I feel like I don't have any ambitions. I just want to make movies. Apart from movies, I don't have any ambitions."
, you have no requirements for the studio, and you have no requirements for your own fame."
"Am I so frustrated?"
"have!"
Li Xiuxiu affirmed: "Actually, if you put these qualities in ordinary people, they may live a happy life, but don't forget that you are in the entertainment industry now. I followed my sister and saw a lot of the dark side of the entertainment industry.
Do you know why my sister wants to break away from Huayi Brothers? Not only my sister, Fan Bingbing and Zhou Xun also have this idea."
"If you open your own company, you can be your own boss. This should be the reason."
"This is just on the surface. In fact, being a boss is very bitter. I told my sister that if an artist wants to go solo, without the protection of a big company, the situation he has to deal with will be much more complicated and it will take ten times the effort.
They have to work hard. But they still have to go out independently. One of the big reasons is for freedom."
"free?"
"Yeah, don't look at my sisters. They are big stars now and have a good reputation. In fact, they are not a money-making tool for the company. Today I will ask you to attend a cocktail party, tomorrow I will ask you to attend an event, and I will help you pick up the phone the day after tomorrow.
Make a TV series. As long as you can make money, who cares whether your artist is willing or not? If you listen to the company and help the company make a lot of money, then the company will be your grandson in front of you. Once you disobey, the company will ban you at any time and hide you.
Or they may try their best to boss you around before your contract expires. There are many such examples!"
Li Xiuxiu looked at Shao Shuaijun and said seriously, "Ajun, we have been working together for more than half a year. I know that you are a very pure person who has nothing but movies in your eyes. This is wrong of you, don't look at you now
It's very popular and helps everyone make a lot of money. You don't have your own career foundation. You, like my sisters, have to be manipulated by others. Huayi Brothers are treating you well now because you help them make money. Once one day you have a conflict with them
Why would they try to win over you like this? Think about it, what would you do if Huayi Brothers plotted against you?"
"The worst case scenario is to find another company to cooperate with, but this is unrealistic. I am also a shareholder of Huayi Brothers."
"Can you not mention 5% of the shares? Do you have any decision-making power? Let me ask you, if Huayi Brothers blocks you, cuts off your distribution channels, does not provide you with artists to act, or even embarrasses you during the review of the film bureau,
Or maybe the United Theater Company bullies you, what should you do?"
"It's so mysterious. Isn't this all a matter of disappearing?"
Li Xiuxiu stomped her feet confidently: "You, you, you have some foresight, okay? There is always a banquet in the world. Unless you work for the second king all your life, there will be conflicts sooner or later. Look at your studio, in addition to making movies
I do nothing and invest in movies. I have no ability to resist risks at all. If you invite me here, what else do you want me to do besides making me busy with trivial things? Now, you want me to establish a company alone for a book.
...Ajun, give me a complete idea, okay? If you don’t care about the future, I will just go to and from get off work. If you want the studio and the company to grow, just give me a direction. Don’t make me look like a headless person.
Just like flies, okay?"
This tone was quite a bit sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to argue. He said that Shao Shuaijun was embarrassed. Wasn't it just to strengthen the studio and get rid of other people's constraints when he invited Li Xiuxiu to come over? As a result, as soon as the seven things and eight things came out, Shao Shuaijun took this
I forgot about it, and I still haven’t explained clearly how the studio will develop.
After coming out of the coffee shop and walking on the streets of Phoenix, Shao Shuaijun was still thinking about what kind of life he wanted to live. God had given him another precious opportunity, so where should he go to make his life worth living?
once?
In April in the United States, the coldness left over from winter was still floating in the air. Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but shrink her neck and wrap her coat tighter.
Shao Shuaijun put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly.
It took a long time before he spoke.
"Actually, I have also thought about setting up my own company to monopolize investment, production, management, distribution, promotion, and even monopolize theater companies. But sister Xiuxiu, you also know that China's national conditions are different from other countries.
Individualistic thinking prevails, and human relationships are intricately intertwined. Private enterprises have just been opened up to enter the upstream circle, and the advantages are still those large state-owned enterprises. It is very difficult to gain the right to speak. I am now making movies and making small investments.
, I can even go abroad to make some money, live the life I want, and be a director, I will be very satisfied."
While speaking, Shao Shuaijun raised his finger and pointed to a billboard on a building. There was a movie poster on it. In the poster, a man was running. Instead of a road under his feet, there were countless piles of photos, and countless photos were floating in the sky.
It is the poster of "Source Code". The man is Shao Shuaijun. Each photo represents a world and a scene, which means traveling through countless worlds.
"You see, the movie I am shooting now has been released in the United States. My dream in my heart is to make movies and keep making them. I am taking these inspirations and one day I will create my own inspiration to make them.
More and more good movies will allow countless people to wander in my movie world... This is the life I want to live.
You know, James Cameron, the king of the world, is my idol. He has a weird and bad temper, and it is difficult for others to get along with him. He once opened the digital field, one of the four major special effects companies, and later, he was
His partner kicked him out. He was married five times, but his wife couldn't bear it and divorced him again, until she married the current one.
Apart from movies, he has never been a successful person. Even in the movie circle, he may not be successful. He likes to burn money too much. If a movie is not measured in hundreds of millions of dollars, he will ignore it. Therefore, many
People were shunned by him. After "Titanic", he didn't make any movies for several years.
But he once said, I live a very happy life.
You know, I particularly admire this kind of life. I don’t have to care about other people’s opinions. I can concentrate on making my own things and weaving dreams. As long as I live a happy life, there is no need to have everything. I started a company because I want to make movies.
Make a movie without restraint. If you ask me to bargain with a mask on, I really don’t want to go.
So, Sister Xiuxiu, if you think I am too naive, you can kick me away like Cameron did. Maybe, once you kick me away, I will become the next king of the world. Hahahaha
!”
"What a cold joke!" Li Xiuxiu stood there, looking at the people running on the poster, and then at Shao Shuaijun, who was smiling like a sunny boy, and laughed silently, "But I believe that only pure people, pure
Only if you like it can you gain the approval of the movie and the audience, and then you can become the next king of the world!"
Shao Shuaijun, if you want to be the king of the world, then let me help you!
It doesn’t matter about the result, only about the dream!
