Director’s Legend

At Hong Kong Airport, Shao Shuaijun walked off the plane wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap. From a distance, he saw someone holding a sign saying "KOW". Needless to say, this was Li Xiuxiu's opportunity. KOW is the acronym of King-Of-the-Word, meaning the king of the world.

This is Li Xiuxiu's teasing of Shao Shuaijun.

When I got closer, I saw Li Xiuxiu wearing a black windbreaker, looking at Shao Shuaijun and his party with a sweet smile, and the two assistants behind them were still holding signs.

"Welcome the king of the world to Hong Kong!" Li Xiuxiu said with a smile, and then opened her arms.

"Wow, Sister Xiuxiu, I want to kill you!" Shao Shuaijun rarely saw Li Xiuxiu being so proactive. He immediately opened his arms and rushed over, preparing to give Li Xiuxiu a solid hug.

Then, Li Xiuxiu drew away from Shao Shuaijun lightly and hugged Yang Ying and Wang Cuicui: "Angela, Xiaocui, long time no see."

Shao Shuaijun blinked, feeling a gust of wind blowing, so desolate.

"Boss, do you want me to give you a hug?" Li Xiuxiu's assistants, one of whom is an old man from Dream Chasing Company, has joined the company since Shao Shuaijun's studio period, and is quite familiar with Shao Shuaijun, and asked.

Shao Shuaijun immediately put his hands in his pockets and blew his hair: "Sorry, my sexual orientation is normal, not so heavy."

Not long after, Yang Ying's grandparents also came to pick up the plane. This time she was going to stay in Hong Kong for a few days, so she approved Yang Ying's leave and let her go home for a few days.

"Director Shao, hello, thank you, the baby called to tell us what happened before, thank you." The two old men said politely.

Shao Shuaijun smiled and responded: "Two okay elderly people, our Dream Chasing Company is an ethical entertainment company, and Yang Ying is an artist we value, so don't worry."

After Yang Ying left with her grandfather and grandmother, Shao Shuaijun suddenly said, "Sister Xiuxiu, don't you realize that there are many English names called Angela in the entertainment industry? Why don't we ask Yang Ying to change her name, just call Angela Baby?"

"You are too broad, right? You even want to manage the artist's name?"

"Hehe, this is the responsible boss." Shao Shuaijun smiled. In the future, Yang Ying changed her name to AngelaBaby in order to distinguish from others. It feels awkward not to change her name to Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun wanted to call her AngelaBaby several times. With.

This time he came to Hong Kong, Shao Shuaijun mainly listened to the recent report of Chasing Dream Jiahe.

Since reaching an oral agreement with Jack Ma that day, formal cooperation has also begun to be discussed. Based on several contacts, the method of cooperation has been decided. Alibaba will acquire the shares of Dreamland Golden Harvest from EMI Records for US$15 million, and then exchange 50% of the shares in Alipay for 15% of the shares of Dreamcatcher, which will account for 30% of the total shares.

Subsequently, a series of capital operations will be carried out, and Alipay, Golden Harvest's cinemas, Dreaming Film and Television Company, Dreaming TV Drama Production Company, Dreaming Film Distribution Company, Dreaming Music Company, and Mtime.com will be merged into Dreaming Golden Harvest Company as a whole and will be listed again. Issue shares.

Dreamcatcher Entertainment will be reorganized into Dreamcatcher Entertainment Group.

When the new Dream Chasing Golden Harvest Company is listed, with its status in the mainland film industry, and with Alipay's strong cash transaction volume, Chasing Dream Golden Harvest's capital will surely double or even tens of times to complete the first round of money. In the next step, it may further cooperate with Alibaba and exchange shares for cross-shareholding.

When Alibaba goes public in the future, it will be another money circling operation.

"The report has done a good job. The far, medium and near market plans are in place, so please work hard to make Dream Chasing Golden Harvest a big company comparable to any other Asian entertainment company.” Shao Shuaijun faced Chasing Dream Golden Harvest's management. Layer said. After the reorganization, the senior management was replaced by a third, and now Li Xiuxiu basically has the power.

Shao Shuaijun didn't know much about the complicated matter of going public, so he could just leave it to someone to handle it. After letting Li Xiuxiu explain what he was doing, everyone finally set foot on the road to the United States. Shao Shuaijun has conceived the sub-scene script of "Twilight Saga: Twilight". As long as the investment procedures are in place, he can prepare the crew and start filming.

At Los Angeles Airport, Qian Yongqiang came to pick up the plane.

The post-production of "Painted Skin" is about to be completed, and now it has entered the stage of negotiating the release. Wang Zhonglei and Yang Hongtao have been in the United States for more than half a month, running around for publicity.

To ask Li Xiuxiu to take someone to prepare for the film company, Shao Shuaijun and Qian Yongqiang went to the special effects company in Hollywood.

In the movie screening room, Gao Yang and Miao Chenshan had already prepared samples.

After showing the special effects shots one by one, Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands: "Yes, this level of special effects is in line with my expectations. It is now April, and we should also edit the samples. Only fragmentary clips are not good. Propaganda. Old money, you have to work hard again. I don’t have much time, so stay up late and fight?"

"Haha, it's finally time for the film to take shape. It's nothing to stay up late. I have been producing films in Hong Kong for decades. This time I was the most excited. The actual production cost was 200 million yuan. Even if I fight this old bone, To gnaw down."

The director's cut is the one that best meets the expectations of the movie.

However, sometimes the director's cut is the least in line with commercial tastes. Each set of shots is taken with a lot of effort, just like the director's child. With scissors, this set of shots is reluctant to cut, and that set of shots is reluctant to cut. In the end, a 90-minute movie can be cut into 120 points for the director. A 120-minute movie can be cut into 140 minutes.

If we say that in the first few movies, Shao Shuaijun was used to hone the director's skills and did not make much change. There are original movies for reference. If the scissors are supernaturally helpful, cut them out without hesitation. Then this "Painted Skin" is much more difficult. After all, many sets of shots have been modified by Shao Shuaijun, and the ending of the entire movie has also been modified.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is his half son.

Facing such a movie, Shao Shuaijun couldn't bear to cut it randomly.

"Old Qian, look at this set of shots, how beautiful they are, do you keep it?"

"But does this have anything to do with the theme of the movie?"

"Uh...maybe, it can relax people's energy in a tight gap..."

"Gao Yang, Chenshan, look at this set of shots, the scene is intense enough, I personally choose to stay, what do you think?"

Gao Yang touched his chin: "This group describes Wang Jiajun, it seems to be an unimportant supporting role."

Miao Chenshan scratched his head: "This person seems to be going to die anyway. He has been fighting so fiercely before, and he will die in the next moment, isn't it..."

"Well, this group... deleted!"

In the painful struggle, it took three days, and Shao Shuaijun finally completed the director's editing of "Painted Skin". At this time Wang Zhonglei and Yang Hongtao also rushed over, as well as Rob Friedman, the co-chairman of Lionsgate.

"Oh, dear Shao, welcome to Hollywood again!"

Rob Friedman came up and gave Shao Shuaijun a bear hug, very enthusiastic.

"Hello, Chairman Rob, I'm glad to see you again, my body is as strong as ever."

"Thank you, I feel I am still young. By the way, I heard that "Painted Skin" has been edited? Oh, I can't wait to see the full movie."
