Director’s Legend

February 23, 2005 is the Lantern Festival in the lunar calendar. Shao Shuaijun flew back to China from the United States, accompanied by Li Xiuxiu, Zhao Cheng, Wang Yixue and Sloppy are still sticking to the final "Source Code" production. A few days ago, Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong flew to the United States together to discuss the North American release of "Source Code" with Lionsgate.

Therefore, Shao Shuaijun was free.

The discussion between Twilight and Felix Publishing went smoothly. The publishing house was very optimistic about the prospects of the book. It followed Shao Shuaijun's vision and adopted the method of linking sales and profit distribution. Moreover, Felix Publishing also bought the copyrights of the electronic audiovisual and comics of "Twilight".

These copyrights were reserved by Shao Shuaijun to Stephanie Meier deliberately, to reassure her and write a better sequel.

Therefore, Li Xiuxiu is also free.

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw a large group of reporters gathering outside the terminal.

"Which star will come to us for a flight, so many reporters are waiting?" Shao Shuaijun asked casually.

"I don't know, we were in business class, and we didn't find any big stars. Could the big stars sit in the regular class?"

The two of them joked and walked out of the hall, staying abroad for more than a month, feeling extremely homesick.

Click, click, wow!

As soon as I left the house, there was a burst of flash before my eyes, and then a buzzing sound rang.

"Director Shao, as the first mainland director to capture Hollywood this year, what do you think of "Buried Alive" with a box office of 21.1 million?"

"Director Shao, as a new generation of Chinese film directors, your "Buried Alive" has become the box office record of mainland Chinese movies in North America. What do you want to say to mainland directors?"

"Director Shao, do you think that domestic films can repeat the "Buried Alive" model, win word of mouth at the Sundance Film Festival, and then be screened on a large scale?"

"According to reliable sources, "Buried Alive" was forced to be painted after only three days after its release. All the box offices were fictitious. How would you explain Mr. Shao?"

"Director Shao, President Wang of Huayi Brothers revealed that "Source Code" has been in contact with Lionsgate, which released "Buried Alive", and will be released simultaneously worldwide, right?"

"Mr. Shao, is the beautiful lady next to you Li Bingbing? When did you start dating?"

"Ms. Li Bingbing, what kind of man do you think your boyfriend Shao Shuaijun is? What do you think of sibling love?"

"Excuse me..."

"According to reliable sources..."

The bombardment almost stunned Shao Shuaijun, and Li Xiuxiu was even more dazed by the flash. It was almost a minute later that Shao Shuaijun reacted. His schedule was revealed. Don't think about it, it must be a good thing for the Huayi Brothers Propaganda Department, and only they can grasp Shao Shuaijun's schedule.

Blocking the flashlight, Shao Shuaijun said loudly: "This is the airport. Don't be congested. Regarding the North American release of "Buried Alive", you can find a place and ask the person next to me, Ms. Li Xiuxiu, General Manager of Shao Shuaijun Studio. As for me, "Crazy Racing" has finished and is waiting for me to participate in post-production. I'm sorry, please let me."

At the critical moment, Shao Shuaijun immediately left Li Xiuxiu and got into the Audi car that Liu Sanxi had driven by himself. This is a new car purchased by Shao Shuaijun's studio. The driver is Liu Sanxi. Now Liu Sanxi's position is temporarily set as the studio's logistics supervisor. His staff are Anan and Zebra, as well as his wife, Xisao, the current chef of the studio.

Ning Hao has already brought the film to China Film for post-production. In fact, there are several post-production companies in Hengdian. However, Ning Hao is the director and he prefers large companies. Calling Ning Hao, Xu Zhen and Huang Bo, Shao Shuaijun returned to Shao Shuaijun's studio first. The studio is still too short of people and empty.

The list given to Li Xiuxiu last time was not found. Those are talents from various professions in Shao Shuaijun's memory. Now they are in a desperate situation. I don't know if I am lying in that corner and looking up at the stars.

"A Jun, you are really amazing. Buried Alive has the highest box office in North America on our mainland. The studio's online recruitment information these days has suddenly increased dozens of times. There are also many famous universities. Graduates, I want to come to work. But you and Manager Li are not there and no one will accept them." Brother Xi said excitedly.

"North American box office champion? Is it the box office champion at just over 20 million?"

"Yes, Sishui has especially checked it out. In the 15 years from 1989 to 2004, excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan, there were 26 films released in the United States in mainland China. Approximately 1.7 films were released every year, and gross box office revenue was 25.6 million. US dollars, an average of 1.71 million US dollars per year. "Buried Alive" is almost full."

"Tell me in detail."

"Well, the highest box office used to be Chen Kai's "Farewell My Concubine" in 1993, which reached $5.2 million. In fact, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai played the leading roles in these years. Zhang Yimou 9 and Chen Kai 4, accounting for 50% of the total release The box office revenue of these 13 movies totaled 21 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 83% of the total box office revenue of mainland films in the United States. The combined box office of a dozen other directors was only 4.6 million U.S. dollars, not as much as Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige. . But now with "Buried Alive", the face of the Chinese has greatly increased. You don’t know Ajun in the United States. Recently, you have been crazy here. The newspapers are all your news, and you are described as Li Yu from the Mainland. Your big investment is definitely not worse than the performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". In addition, all the media have changed their words, boasting that "Source Code" is more effective than publicity."

"Is this changed?" Shao Shuaijun suddenly felt that he was like the one who was hit hard in the boxing ring, who was about to summon his strength to fight back, but the other party gave in. A punch on cotton, there is nowhere to do it! I knew that reporters had no discipline. I didn't expect that it was only in 2004 that reporters in mainland China had learned to have no discipline. "Isn't this fucking?"

"Not everyone has changed their minds. There are still some media, especially the media from Hong Kong and Taiwan, who are laughing at our fuss here, saying that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a box office of 128 million in North America. This is the strength. Yes, I don’t know, Ajun, you and Feng Xiaogang are both Huayi’s colleagues, why did he jump out and say you again."

"What about me?"

"Speaking of you sensationalizing, "Buried Alive" is basically holding the old beauty's thighs and belittling the government, so it is liked by the old beauty."

Shao Shuaijun frowned: "He really said that?"

"Well, at the "A World Without Thieves" celebration banquet two days ago, Sishui and I attended as a representative of the studio, and I heard him tell the reporter himself. You said Feng Xiaogang, we didn't offend him, so why mess Speaking, this kind of thing can't be spread indiscriminately. If it makes trouble, it will be blocked by the SARFT."

"Don't think too much, I'll call and ask Mr. Wang." Shao Shuaijun realized the seriousness of the problem. In China, there are some things that cannot be said nonsense. Once they are taken seriously, the consequences will be disastrous.
