Director’s Legend

The interview continued, and Shen Bing asked: "In this anti-piracy, "Painted Skin" has received a huge impact. How did you prevent such a big accident from happening?"

Shao Shuaijun’s face is a bit serious: “Because we know about piracy, when you only need to wash the copy, you only need to send it to the next, as long as the amount is large, or as long as you show more times, you can’t control it. People who can access this copy and There are too many departments. So this time is very simple. In post-production, we waited for the special effects to be completed and then edited, and then washed the copy. The strange thing is that I haven't finished cutting, nor have I washed out the copy. The pirated version came out, and the used was discarded Copy and lens."

"abandoned?"

"Yes, our crew has very strict control of piracy, which is no worse than the bank's insurance. Except for our director team, no one has access to copying. All of our work materials are dismantled and dismantled when they are used up, without forming. The soundtrack is done in front of me and will be handed in as soon as it is used up. Of course, sometimes you can’t just watch others busy all night, what should we do at this time, we give him the material and this video tape, but you have to write life and death Clerk, you have a mark on this videotape. If we see this mark on the pirated copy, it is yours."

"What kind of punishment will he receive?"

"Legal responsibility and economic responsibility. So you think, of course he would not let it go easily if he held this thing. He has to keep his eyes on this, don't let others take it."

"Do you keep doing this?"

"If you are talking about the pirated version of the movie, we did a good job. In fact, "Painted Skin" was originally planned to be performed in Beijing for a week, but Wang Zhonglei and the others said that they received the news that the pirate dealers in the capital have already placed orders. The pirate dealers also came to inquire about the piracy. The pirate dealer in Beijing said that as long as one performance, the goods will be guaranteed within three days. So at that time, the staff was scanning around with the detector at the Wanda cbd store. They were quite nervous, but in the end I decided not to perform in public, so let’s talk about it when "Painted Skin" is released."

"So that's it. As of yesterday, it was still not there?"

"Of course not. That fake movie has already hurt us miserably, and there are real pirated copies. Then this time I will definitely pay for it. Before you came, I also called Wang Zhonglei on the phone, and he deliberately asked friends in the industry to find pirated copies. Vendors, I brought all the money, and asked them if they had the goods? They said I'm sorry, but I didn't get it this time. Therefore, I believe there is no real pirated version today."

"So have you ever made such a situation in the previous movies?"

Shao Shuaijun smiled: "What's interesting is that I sold the copyright directly when I filmed "Buried Alive", and the pirate dealers probably never heard of it. I was just a newcomer when I filmed "Crazy Stone", and nobody cares. When it comes to the "source code" "At the time, Huayi Brothers were basically in charge, and they had this experience. Later, I started my own company and invested in filming, and I released it once it was finished. I didn’t press the schedule. You are like "33 Days of Broken Relationship", which is released. More than a week ago, I had just finished filming, and I was running out of theaters. Where can pirate dealers get the pirated version."

"Do you think this is luck or a coping strategy?"

"Luck, with the development of the film industry, you can't release it when you think about it. Sooner or sooner, you have to face the problem of piracy. Of course, if we can persist and cooperate in all departments, maybe It can be maintained for a long time without piracy. One day, our country, like Japan, will have no piracy at all, and there will be no piracy of a movie for one year. That is the gospel of Chinese movies."

"...Okay, thanks to Director Shao for accepting our interview, I think it's okay, Xiao Song shut it down." Shen Bing saw that the topic was about to talk, then stopped, and shook hands with Shao Shuaijun, "Director Shao, we might It will be broadcast in a few days, and you will be notified when the time comes, so we won’t interrupt you to rest, and we have to return home."

"So urgent? It's not too late to leave after a day off, right?"

"No way, the station is rushing."

...

When people are busy, time seems to pass by on a roller coaster.

Shao Shuaijun felt this way.

After the "Economy Half an Hour" interview, he participated in the final negotiations with Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment’s boss Mitchell Bruce has been persuaded. The company’s previous film "Dancing Out of My Life" cost too much. Investment, it is no longer available for publicity.

Dreaming Entertainment acquired Summit Entertainment for US$28 million, promising to help promote the new film without firing the company’s employees, and giving Mitchell Bruce a 20% stake so that he can continue to be the boss.

In the end, seeing the loyalty of the battle, Dream Entertainment made a concession and gave Mitchell a 23% stake.

"Happy cooperation, Mitchell." After Shao Shuaijun signed the contract, he held Mitchell's hand with a smile on his face.

Mitchell also smiled brightly: "Happy cooperation, boss."

"Haha, you are the boss of Summit Entertainment, I am just an investor." Shao Shuaijun was in a good mood. This time the acquisition cost 28 million yuan, but in fact, Shao Shuaijun not only did not spend but even earned it. Because no one knows better than him how profitable the movie "Dance Out of My Life" is.

Shao Shuaijun can't remember the specific box office of the movie. The simple "Dance Out of My Life" may not make much, but this movie has successively released several sequels, each of which has a global box office of more than 100 million US dollars. Another old hen laying eggs!

Mitchell is satisfied that the company has been funded, and his position is still the boss, and the film has been funded for promotion. Shao Shuaijun was satisfied with the shell of Summit Entertainment and got another hen. The two people laughed on the spot called joy, and the arc of the mouth was like the box office of "Painted Skin", rising all the way.

In the Mainland, Painted Skin was released on Sunday on the 7th. The film volume was criticized again for 41%, and the box office on the first day was 30 million, breaking the first day and single-day box office records set by "33 Days of Broken Relationship".

Sunday, 30 million, Monday, 20.2 million, Tuesday, 19.8 million, Wednesday, 20.1 million, Thursday, 19.9 million. The total box office broke 100 million in five days, reaching 110 million. Although it has not surpassed the five-day record of breaking 100 million yuan in "33 Days of Broken Love", it includes two weekends, Saturday and Sunday, and "Painted Skin" has only one Sunday.

On Friday, 22.3 million, and Saturday, 27.2 million, the box office accumulated to 159.5 million, refreshing the record of "33 Days of Broken Relationship".

"Where there is Shao Shuaijun, there are crazy miracles! He is not a commercial director, he is a box office director! He is the king of China! He is the king of the future world!"

The new wolf entertainment section does not hesitate to tout. (To be continued.)
