Director’s Legend

On October 30, 2008, Shao Shuaijun, who was writing scripts while learning to fly, received a call from Li Xiuxiu. Forbes China released the 2008 Forbes China Rich List. Shao Shuaijun became the richest man in China with 41.5 billion yuan. According to the Forbes Global Billionaires List released in March this year, Shao Shuaijun should be ranked 172nd in the world.

Compared with the Hurun Rich List rooted in China, Forbes is a global authoritative organization, and the information it releases has more global influence. When Hurun, a foreigner, came to China, he also made the Hurun Rich List under the banner of a Forbes commissioner, and then became an independent portal. Of course, his global influence is not as good as Forbes.

The two lists are very different. Shao Shuaijun on the Hurun Report has 63 billion yuan, and Shao Shuaijun on the Forbes China Rich List has only 41.5 billion yuan. But in any case, no one can erase the fact that Shao Shuaijun is the richest man.

As soon as Forbes' rich list was released, it immediately had a huge impact worldwide.

Among the two hundred richest people in the world, one is Shao Shuaijun!

A native of China, a young man of 22 years old, a self-made man, and a world-renowned director. The aura of all this was completely ignited with the 2008 Forbes China Rich List. Especially in China, Shao Shuaijun is already the spiritual representative of the grassroots class.

If Shao Shuaijun is the second generation of rich, or the second generation of officials, everyone will definitely curse the second generation ancestor.

But Shao Shuaijun’s origin is very clear. His parents were elementary school teachers, and his ancestors had never had any celebrities, and there were no wealthy and powerful relatives. All his success comes from his struggle, making films are selling well all over the world, and starting a company is getting bigger and bigger. What could be more dreamy than this?

Nowadays, when parents educate their children, they will say: "Look at Shao Shuaijun, you are so capable at a young age. As for you, if you don't work hard, you can only watch others succeed and drink Northwestern by yourself!"

In short, Shao Shuai has arms, not a normal fire.

From the entertainment circle to the Internet and financial circles, the fire is huge. Starting from Hu Run, then Forbes, the announcement of the double list, everyone was talking about Shao Shuaijun.

For example, Jack Ma from Alibaba, the cooperation and partner of Chasing Dream Jiahe, said: "Shao Shuaijun is the most courageous and visionary person I have ever seen. When we work on the Internet, we at least understand the Internet. He even knows what'C' is. 'I don't know. But the Mtime.com, which he opened, is already the largest Internet company in the country, and is one step ahead of others every time."

Penguin's Twisted Vine also said: "We have almost unified the domestic instant messaging market. I don't know how Shao Shuaijun did it. But obviously, Penguin is no longer the largest instant messaging software. But we will continue to work hard. Competition on the Internet is a marathon. Running one step first does not mean that you will always be ahead."

The South Korean media said with heartbreak: "Shao Shuaijun and his Dream Entertainment Group are robbers. DNF and CF belong to South Korea, but now they are starting to use DNF and CF to make our money. The Smile-Gate and Smile-Gate and Neople companies are all sinners in Korea!"

Wang Zhongjun of Huayi Brothers Media Group has repeatedly emphasized: "Shao Shuaijun is our shareholder. We are very happy to cooperate with Dream Entertainment. We also hold a part of the shares of Dream Dream. This is a very successful investment and cooperation. Follow Shao Shuaijun , There is meat to eat!"

Poly Bona’s Yu Dong was more depressed. The old account was turned over by the media. Buried Alive did not buy and Inception did not invest. After being ridiculed, Yu Dong fought back: "When everyone makes mistakes, if I I am the richest man now! But there is no gap between us and Shao Shuaijun. We now have a lot of business cooperation. Dreaming Entertainment wants to build the entertainment industry chain, and we are also involved in it."

And the famous director Zhang Yimou of the five generations said: "In the face of Shao Shuaijun, the only thing I can get is that I have won more awards than him. But he is younger than me, and I dare not think about whether he will conquer in a few years. After Hollywood conquered Oscars, I hope he won’t, otherwise I’m really useless."

Daheng Zou, who has retired and enjoyed his twilight years in Hawaii, also appeared in the media: "I am very pleased to see Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, becoming more and more powerful and becoming the leading company in the Chinese film industry. This was what I wanted most back then. My dream can be realized in the hands of Shao Shuaijun. I think there are two most correct decisions I have made in my life. One is to enter Hollywood with Bruce Lee, and the other is to hand over the company to Shao Shuaijun."

Yang Ying, Li Xiuxiu’s assistant, now serves as the chief press officer of Dream Entertainment Group, said in an interview: “Chairman Shao seems calm about becoming the richest man. For him, wealth is not the most important thing. Pursuing, he always believes that his main business is director."

Seeing that there was no more information about Shao Shuaijun from Yang Ying’s mouth, the reporters began to turn to this beautiful press officer: "Ms. Yang Ying, you were an actor before, why did you suddenly switch jobs and enter the company? Work in the workplace?"

Yang Ying blinked her big eyes: "Our chairman once wanted to direct "Twilight Saga: Twilight". He said that one of the roles suits me. After I went to the United States, the chairman suddenly gave up the directing plan, so I I was unemployed. The chairman was overwhelmed, so he handed me over to the general manager, and then I became the assistant of the general manager. I enjoy my current job very much, without the pressure of the entertainment industry, and it’s very relaxed from nine to five."

News about Shao Shuaijun is very valuable, and gossip about private life is even more valuable. One time Li Bingbing was asked: "What kind of person Shao Shuaijun is in private? Some people say that he is arrogant, hungry, hangs around nightclubs, and often has pageant parties at home, right?"

Li Bingbing was speechless: "It is difficult for Shao Shuaijun to see him in private because he is always busy making movies. He is a very boring person, not bothered and too lazy to socialize, and even unwilling to go out. I think he has done the most romantic The thing about him is to propose to my sister. When it comes to movies, he can say that for five days and five nights, if you want to chat with him about major events, he will definitely doze off immediately. And in private, he is very shabby and has no life. Taste, red wine must be mixed with Sprite, and fried chicken legs for five yuan each can be eaten with relish..."

"So how did he get together now and become the richest man? So successful in the entertainment industry and the Internet?"

"I don't know much about doing business, and I rarely pay attention to how Shao Shuaijun manages the company. In my opinion, he is different from the boss of any company. He rarely participates in the management of the company. You know, he mostly He used his time to make movies, and may not show up in the company for a few months. He should be more about guiding the company forward."

"What is the way forward?"

"That is, he will tell others what to do, just like CF and DNF, which are very popular now. After he found out, he asked the people of the company to buy these two games, and then it became popular in China. Then he has a lot of Wonderful ideas, time bib is he proposed, and time YY and so on. No matter what the company does, he just tells them where they should go. Okay, let's stop it, do you interview me or interview Shao Shuaijun, that's all I know!"

...

In addition to telling Shao Shuaijun that he became the richest man in China as announced by Forbes, Li Xiuxiu called and told him that the US Times Magazine once again invited him to interview him.

"Help me refuse, I want to keep a low profile now."

Shao Shuaijun responded very simply. With Hurun and Forbes, he was completely exposed on paper. This is not good. People who are too public seem to have no good end. Before Time Magazine interviewed him, he would think it was an honor, but now it’s just so-so. It's best if no one else knows him, so that he can make a fortune.

He did not give an interview, but Time Magazine still uses him as the cover character of this issue of the Asian and American pages.

A large portrait with the title: "Shao Shuaijun and his movie kingdom."

"Two years ago, Times interviewed Shao Shuaijun. He is a director who has just emerged in Hollywood and has a vibrant film company. Two years later, we pay attention to Shao Shuaijun again. He is already a world-class director and has become the richest man in China. Class rich."

"Shao Shuaijun’s wealth comes from the company’s listing and film marketing revenue... As a director who has been in the industry for five years, Shao Shuaijun’s success has attracted worldwide attention, and after four years of company management, Shao Shuaijun’s brilliance is undoubtedly enormous. From the various business directions of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, we can see that Shao Shuaijun is creating a movie kingdom that belongs to him."

"Remember that on the cover two years ago, we used'Shao Shuaijun, and his young movie kingdom' as the slogan. Now his movie kingdom is no longer small and young, it has become huge and full of The real kingdom of vitality and energy."

"This young man uses his talent to weave dreams. When he picks up the director's microphone, he is the master of a world. From the one-person "Buried Alive", he has made eight movies in five years. Worldwide, the box office exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, including "Source Code", "Painted Skin", "Inception" and "500 Days of Harmony". Among them, "Inception" is worth US$922.5 million. He has become one of the world’s top 20 films and his masterpiece of becoming a world-renowned director."

"He once said that he made movies to dream with more people and share those dreams that belonged to him. Regardless of business, he did influence many people and spread his dreams all over the world. The youngest Hollywood director, he is the representative of the American dream and the Chinese dream. He has influenced a generation of young people to work hard for their dreams."

"When many young people are asked about idols, it is not the handsome men and beauties on the big or small screens, but the Shao Shuaijun behind the scenes. Back then, we could still see him in the "Source Code" Figure, now he is becoming more and more low-key, and more and more adapted to the identity of a king. He began to accept the worship of his subjects, in his kingdom, to be the most authoritative one."

"Whether it's chasing dreams of Golden Harvest or Summit Entertainment, he has used an alternative way to change the film situation of the two major countries. In the era of the decline of the eight major Hollywood studios, Summit Entertainment is the most likely to be among them. Independent production company. Since the opening of China's film market, Dreamland Golden Harvest is the first mainland listed entertainment company and the first private enterprise to surpass a state-owned enterprise to become the leader in the entertainment industry."

"Behind his success is China's increasingly open policy, and it is also a hero created by current events. The open entertainment industry has given him the soil to take root, and his talents are his wings. It is hard to imagine that he was four years ago. It's just a role played in a certain movie studio in China, dropping out of school and living in a difficult life. He often spends hours lying on the icy ground on ice and snow for a salary of 50 yuan a day, which is less than 7 dollars. "

"At that time, Shao Shuaijun never thought that one day, he would stand on the most shining stage in the world and accept everyone's worship. But at that time, the young Shao Shuaijun absolutely gritted his teeth and was waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky. Because of Shao Shuaijun He rarely mentions his private life, and we don’t know what is supporting him to become a self-taught talent and embark on the path of a director."

"However, we know that frustration has given him a fortune, and he has used it to earn his own movie kingdom. And we can hardly avoid a problem. He is only 22 years old this year. At the same age, Bill Gates also relied on the support of his mother to maintain the young Microsoft with difficulty!"

"He is the most outstanding person in this era!"

"Time" gave Shao Shuaijun the highest respect, almost calling Shao Shuaijun the next Bill Gates. Unlike Bill Gates, who has an IBM director's mother, Shao Shuaijun is more grass-rooted and can better represent something called a "dream", whether it is the United States or China, it is this kind of dream that makes mankind forge ahead.

Under the influence of these Times, the Hurun Report, and the Forbes China Rich List, Shao Shuaijun’s movie "500 Days with Summer" has been perfected for US$320 million worldwide, becoming the most popular low-cost art film this year , Surpassed the 230 million US dollars of "Juneo" and became another miracle of a small-cost literary film.

Paired with the high box office, the reputation of the movie is also high, with a score of 8.3 on IMDB and 8.2 on Mtime.com, which can be said to be highly praised. Many people call this the pinnacle of pure love movies. Affected by this trend, coupled with the power of "Inception", the two leading actors Joseph Gordon Levitt and Scarlett Johansson have become Hollywood's top stars.

Some media call Scarlett the most dazzling star in Hollywood, with a perfect figure and appearance, her prospects are far more brilliant than Alan Page in "Juneo". Joseph is known as the new Hollywood king. He was ranked behind Jack Harrenhill in "Inception", and now he is basically the same name.

Shao Shuaijun's reputation as a big director is also more solid.

It is not that you can be called a great director by directing a blockbuster. At least the directors of "Harry Potter" and the two directors of "Twilight" have not gained the reputation of the world's great directors. Directors are either purely commercial at the box office or can manage all kinds of movies.

For example, James Cameron and George Lucas all burned out at the box office, while Spielberg was able to control various movies.

Now, Shao Shuaijun can be said to be a great director like Spielberg. The worst is that there are few masterpieces and few awards...time will fill it all. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
