Director’s Legend

Chapter 106: 【Lost on Journey】

"People on the Road" is invested and produced by Shao Shuaijun's studio. There are no big stars in the movie. The biggest name is Shao Shuaijun, a famous producer and screenwriter. However, with the release of the Dengtian Shuaijun, Dengtian Shiba, also under Dengtian Entertainment, was called by Sister Hua, as long as the artists had free time, they would come to join us.

Huayi Brothers also came to many artists. Talking about friendship, Huayi Brothers is actually closer to Shao Shuaijun.

It can be said that this premiere is still starry.

Shao Shuaijun did not arrive early. He first went to the capital to pick up his female partner on the red carpet, Liu Yifei, who had just returned from the United States to prepare a record. "Source Code" has become a thing of the past, and Liu Yifei should have supported the skyrocketing popularity and promoted to the status of a first-line actress. However, the planner of Red Starwood, in order to get Liu Yifei to make a record, forced Liu Yifei to study abroad, so that the domestic popularity became slightly colder.

"Liu Yifei, long time no see, how's it going?"

Liu Yifei was dressed very fashionable, with shiny leather pants and short-sleeved T-shirt, looking youthful and energetic.

"I've been so-so, I haven't been to the mainland for a long time, and I'm almost suffocated. In the United States, every day is vocal music and dance, which almost turn me into a robot. By the way, how is the filming of Painted Skin? When will it be released?"

Shao Shuaijun said, "I don’t know, half of the content has been filmed now. It is estimated that it will take two months to shoot, plus post-production. It will take more than half a year before the production is completed. No way, special effects production. Burning money on the one hand and time burning on the other. We are all ready to attack next year’s summer vacation."

The filming time of "Painted Skin" is expected to be four months, and the most important thing is the production of post-production special effects, which are more extensive than the original version, with a full 40-minute shot. I'm already negotiating with a special effects company. According to the answers given so far, the fastest speed is a half-year production cycle.

"It's going to take so long, it's really sad, it seems to watch this epic blockbuster of discourse that is known as the biggest investment."

"A blockbuster, of course, you have to look forward to it a little longer, and shoot it casually, how can it be called a blockbuster."

"It's not necessarily. "Source Code" was shot in less than half a year. It is now the most popular movie in the Mainland."

"Fame is going to be lost." Shao Shuaijun fastened his seat belt, leaned back in his seat, and waited for the plane to take off. "Heroes, directed by Zhang Yimou, will be released in North America at the end of the month. It is now more than 700 million yuan, ranking in the source "Code", the next time I am afraid it will be a global box office of more than one billion dollars, and the first mainland movie will be a member of the global box office of over 100 million dollars."

What Shao Shuaijun regrets most is that the "Source Code" box office in the mainland has been compressed, resulting in a global box office of 800 million yuan, which failed to exceed 100 million US dollars. In the European market, due to some reasons, the situation has not been able to open for a long time. The specific release time has not yet been determined, and the top spot is gone anyway.

"Can "Painted Skin" surpass "Hero"?"

"I don't know, no matter how magical or epic, it can't conceal this is an oriental love story. The old and the United States always go straight in and out of love, and the taste is hard to serve."

Liu Yifei giggled: "I think you are very good at making romance movies. Many Americans applaud the love in "Source Code"."

"Haha, just so-so, in fact, I have too many romance movies in my mind, I don't know what to shoot first."

"Blow on you. It makes sense to get "Painted Skin" first. I read the newspaper. Recently, many people are not optimistic about "Painted Skin" and say you want Waterloo." Liu Yifei made a face, playful and cute.

Shao Shuaijun curled his lips: "It's not once or twice that they sing badly. After "Painted Skin" is released, they will be hit in the face."

The two chatted, Liu Yifei fell asleep, the plane was flying in the blue sky and white clouds, but Shao Shuaijun was not drowsy. His thoughts are very complicated. In fact, he is also worried about "Painted Skin". The original version of Painted Skin has a box office of more than 300 million yuan. If it is placed now, it must be lost. Only if it exceeds 400 million box office, can it make a profit.

Can the new version of "Painted Skin" have a box office of more than 400 million?

Shao Shuaijun didn't know.

"What I can do is to make "Painted Skin" the best. I use the best camera for photography. The plot has been scrutinized for countless times, and the requirements for the actors are also harsh. Coupled with the special effects of burning money, it will definitely succeed. !"

When I got off the plane, changed cars, and reached the red carpet, it had already started for more than ten minutes. When Shao Shuaijun and Liu Yifei walked to the red carpet side by side, suddenly countless flashing lights, like sharks smelling fishy, ​​surrounded them.

"Director Shao look over here!"

"Cici look over here."

Shao Shuaijun reluctantly smiled around, while Liu Yifei waved his hand and walked quickly to the cinema.

"Director Shao, conflict broke out in Painted Skin. I heard that you were also affected and your head was smashed. Does it mean that you have too little control over the crew?"

"Director Shao, will you be under too much pressure recently? It is said that the investor intends to replace the director and replace it with an old and respectful director to prevent the crew from getting out of track? Director Chen Jiashang has already let go and is willing to direct "Painted Skin"?"

"Director Shao, Feng Xiaogang bluntly said that young directors need to respect their predecessors and be modest in order to make progress. Does it mean you?"

Shao Shuaijun rolled his eyes and drew a microphone to say, "Painted Skin" is all going well. It is expected that the filming of "Painted Skin" will be completed in October, and it will be released in the summer of next year. Many people think that I am not pleasing to my eyes. A young man, how can I make a movie like this? Make money? I tell you, I'm Shao Shuaijun!"

Click, click, the light flashes.

Shao Shuaijun plugged the microphone back, and went into the cinema without looking back.

After entering, there was inevitably a hypocritical greeting, Xiaolongnv came over and arranged Shao Shuaijun and Liu Yifei in the front row. After the movie started, the laughter never stopped. The silly and lovely Wang Baoqiang, and the deflated Xu Jin everywhere, made people laugh. When Shao Shuaijun and Liu Yifei appeared on the stage, the whole movie theater was full of laughter.

I saw Shao Shuaijun wearing a military coat, while Liu Yifei was tweeting to promote his mobile phone. Then, Shao Shuaijun flicked his coat, ah, there were all kinds of fake mobile phones in it. In the past few years, domestic mobile phones have blown out, and counterfeit phones have quietly occupied the market, and the audience naturally smiled.

The whole movie uses embarrassment as a clue, interspersed with a lot of laughter, which makes people happy. At the same time, many warm truths are interspersed, which makes people feel deeply while laughing. The artificial sentimentality in the second half of the original, after Shao Shuaijun's correction, became natural, and it made the whole movie full of warmth.

At the end of the movie, Xiao San failed to defeat the original partner, and Li Chenggong repented and paid Niugeng the money. A cliché finale, but let the applause endure.

While applauding, Shao Shuaijun said to Xu Zeng: "Old Xu, congratulations, a successful warm comedy, it makes people happy and moving."

"Thank you, thank you, just not disappoint the audience."

"Haha, go on stage and say a few words to the audience."

Xu Peng walked to the big screen with excitement, took the microphone, and said: "First of all, thank you for your applause, let my heart settle down..."
