"I'm very happy to receive this award. From last year to now this year, I have made three movies, which is a very high output. Fortunately, it is recognized by everyone. This is a great encouragement to me. I
I will continue to make more good movies and give back to everyone, thank you."
Before Shao Shuaijun spoke, he thought about a lot of passionate speeches. When he got to the stage, he couldn't say a word for some reason. He said a few old-fashioned words and walked off the stage, leaving many people waiting to hear him.
The audience was disappointed. This young director was too low-key.
Anyway, the Beijing College Student Film Festival came to a successful conclusion. We avoided interviews with reporters and had a dinner together in the capital. Everyone went their separate ways. Ning Hao led a group of people and began to study "The Golden Heist". Liu Yifei is not planning to do this this year.
She is filming a TV movie and has to fly back to the United States to concentrate on learning dance and vocal music. Her management company, Red Star Wood, has decided to plan a music album for her and enter the music market.
Although he is not optimistic about Liu Yifei's development in the music industry, singing and dancing has been Liu Yifei's dream since he was a child. Shao Shuaijun didn't say much. Xu Zheng's "People on the Road" has started filming, and Shao Shuaijun is listed as the producer. In fact, he has not been to the set yet.
.However, Shao Shuaijun did not have any leisure because of this, there were still many trivial things to do.
First, the Youth Federation sent people over to help Shao Shuaijun go through the formalities and officially join the All-China Youth Federation. The Youth Federation and the Women's Federation are at the same level. They are both patriotic united front organizations under the leadership of the party and participate in the CPPCC meetings. Shao Shuaijun only signed a few
Then I took a photo and received a certificate with a bright red steel seal.
His task this year is to attend the First National Committee of the 10th Youth Federation from July 22 to 24. The person who helped him with the procedures even said that if he really doesn’t have time, he can ask for leave. For such an organization, Shao Shuaijun sincerely
I like it, it’s so humane.
At the same time, the China Film Directors Association also approached him and wanted to admit him as a member of the association. Originally, at a commendation meeting at the beginning of this year, the Directors Association was going to admit Shao Shuaijun, but at that time Shao Shuaijun was in the United States to discuss the release of "Buried Alive" and there was no time.
Delayed until now.
There are three directors' associations in China, the China Film Directors Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors Association and the Baodao Film Directors Association. Although China Film Directors was registered and established by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it still lacks absolute authority under the official-based national conditions. Usually the government
In the name of the Directors Association, some cross-strait dialogues are carried out.
It is undeniable that it is this kind of government guidance that accelerates the integration of Chinese-language films, promotes mutual cooperation between filmmakers from across the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, and revitalizes Chinese-language films. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a good cooperation.
This time, Vice Chairman Li Shaohong personally came to Huayi Brothers Media Group to find Shao Shuaijun. Wang Zhongjun personally accompanied Li Shaohong. After all, she is the most famous female director among the fifth generation directors and has huge influence.
"Xiao Shao's films are very good. We in China need new directors like Xiao Shao who dare to think and act. I have always felt that Chinese-language films, especially mainland filmmakers, cannot change and come out of the turmoil.
The pessimism and tragic nature of the film produced films with strong humanistic care, but they could never grasp the pulse of business and did not bother to grasp it. Therefore, to revitalize Chinese-language films, sixth-generation directors like Lu Chuan must build on the past and build on the future, and Xiao Shao, you
This new generation of directors must be both groundbreaking and have a long way to go.”
Li Shaohong had great expectations for Shao Shuaijun, and he talked a lot. Until Shao Shuaijun and Wang Zhongjun sent Li Shaohong away, Shao Shuaijun still felt heavy in his heart.
The future of Chinese-language films is bright, but the road in between is destined to be tortuous. Shao Shuaijun can guarantee that he will carve out a way, but he cannot guarantee that Chinese-language films can carve out a way. At least before his rebirth, there were not many Chinese films in the market.
North American success examples.
A movie that cannot conquer the United States cannot be called a global movie. Chinese-language movies have a long way to go.
"Why, when Sister Li said that, you feel heavy, right?" Wang Zhongjun patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder, "Don't be fooled by the truth. Making your own movie is the greatest contribution. By the way, "Source Code"
You will be painting soon, do you have any new works planned?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
After leaving Huayi Brothers, Shao Shuaijun went straight to the studio. He actually had plans for a new movie, but he had not made up his mind on which one to start with. There are so many good movies in the future that it feels a bit overwhelming.
.In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are not many movies to choose from.
First, the movie must be shot closest to the present to ensure that no good movies are wasted due to time constraints. Second, the movie cannot be a special effects blockbuster, because the special effects now are not as amazing as they will be in the future. Third, the box office of the movie
It must not be lower. Fourth, the scenes in the movie cannot be too vast or complicated, because Shao Shuaijun still needs more small-scale movies to enrich himself and make progress.
He is not a great director, he is just an assistant director who has never been in charge of a movie alone. "Buried Alive" and "Source Code" are both small scenes. Being able to shoot "Crazy Stone" is the limit. Among these conditions, the choice is
After picking and choosing, Shao Shuaijun soon discovered that apart from some literary films, there were not many good films that were truly suitable for current directors.
The Hollywood blockbusters in my memory either couldn't get the copyright for the scripts, or were too difficult to shoot, so they were not the most suitable movies at the moment. After much calculation, Shao Shuaijun placed his new movie on an urban workplace comedy.
"This movie will have a novel version first, then a drama version, and then a movie version. Should I find a ghostwriter to write the novel and publish it to warm up the movie?" Shao Shuaijun touched his chin and thought.
Discuss.
In the process of considering a new movie, the box office of "Source Code" finally came to an end. Li Xiuxiu also flew back from the United States to handle the box office division.
After more than a month of release, "Source Code" was released in various countries from May 20th to May 25th. According to statistics, North America took in 62 million U.S. dollars, temporarily ranking 13th in the North American box office this year.
.The top rankings are "Rivals" with 180 million, "Robot" with 128 million, "Fantastic Dad" with 113 million, "The Kid" with 82 million, "The Ring 2" with 76 million, and "Hellstar" with 76 million
million, "Sin City" 74 million, "The Translator" 72 million, "Boys and Girls" 69 million, "Sahara" 68 million, "Coach Carter" 67 million, "The Amityville Horror" 65 million.
(The previous data for chapters 71 and 72 was wrong, and the weekly championship was cancelled. You can go back and read it, without affecting the content)
This is the best result for a mainland director in North America. Compared with the production cost of "Source Code" of about 60 million yuan, the profit in North America alone was more than 8 times. Of course, of the 62 million, only 17% belongs to the Chinese company's box office
Share, this is due to the generosity of Lionsgate and the high box office of "Source Code", otherwise it would generally only get 13% of the box office.
Therefore, in North America, the actual share of "Source Code" is US$10.5 million, with Huayi Brothers, Poly Bona, Media Asia Variety and Shao Shuaijun sharing more than US$2.6 million, which is 22 million yuan.
