Director’s Legend

Chapter 61: 【Interview】

On February 25th, "Crazy Racing" began to be promoted. With the success of Stone, Huayi Brothers spared no effort in the promotion of this movie. Today's Huayi Brothers, through the financing of the TOM Group, has made huge profits from the two billion-dollar films "Crazy Stone" and "A World Without Thieves", and has become the well-deserved leader of private entertainment companies in the Mainland.

Many theaters do not even require advertising fees, and take the initiative to promote "Crazy Racing" during the film's gap.

Ning Hao and Huang Bo came to the studio before going to the publicity and signed a contract to subscribe for Shao Shuaijun's studio shares. Ning Hao subscribed for 5% of the shares and Huang Bo subscribed for 7% of the shares. It is not that the two do not want to subscribe more, but that they have no money in their hands. Ning Hao didn't make any money in the previous two films, so this million is still considered borrowed. Huang Bo is a little better. The car pays 500,000, plus the 300,000 dividends from the stone, and he can still take out 800,000, and the remaining 600,000 can be borrowed.

Xu Dieng also came to sign the contract and directly subscribed for 10% of the shares. He and his wife, Xiaolongnv, worked hard in the show business for many years, and had some savings, directly withdrawing 2 million.

The 2 million and Huang Bo's 800,000 relieved Shao Shuaijun, who was financially tight recently. All his money was invested in the movie. The purchase of "Twilight" cost 500,000 US dollars or borrowed from Huayi Brothers. "Buried Alive" was a big hit, and he didn't get a cent. "Crazy Racing" and "Source Code" have not yet been released

The entire Shao Shuaijun studio was in a situation of exhaustion of funds.

The investment in "Human Journey" can only be temporarily suspended, and the filming will start when the profits of the car are back.

In such a situation, the propaganda of the car was in full swing, and Shao Shuaijun quietly came to the studio of "Interview with Yang Lan". Yang Lan is a very courageous lady. She established Sunshine TV in 2000 and her net worth soared to 1.4 billion. She started to host "An Interview with Yang Lan" in 2001.

This is a show rich in humanity, which is very popular among social elites.

With Shao Shuaijun's qualifications, being able to participate in this program is entirely dependent on the recent popularity of "Buried Alive". No way, it's the first time in the history of mainland Chinese movies to get such a high box office in North America, and Shao Shuaijun is 18 years old, oh, 19 years old. The topic is too strong.

Meeting with Yang Lan in the studio, Yang Lan shook hands with Shao Shuaijun to say hello, and then the assistant brought an interview draft for Shao Shuaijun's review. The manuscript is very simple, it is to talk about how Shao Shuaijun embarked on the road of film, and how he saw the film, as well as the story of his childhood, and promoted the new film "Source Code" by the way.

After confirming that there was no problem, the two of them did it face to face. Several cameras were aligned and the official recording began. Of course, the show is not just a conversation, but also the introduction and the interspersed narration, but these do not require Shao Shuaijun to participate. He only needs to talk for two hours here.

Yang Lan made a gesture to the off-site director, and then said: "Shao Shuaijun, I am very happy to invite you to "Interview with Yang Lan" today. I have interviewed many people, but a young director like you, Shao Shuaijun, is still number one. Second. "Source Code" has invested more than 100 million yuan and is your biggest movie. Is there any pressure?"

Shao Shuaijun was still a little cramped in front of the camera: "In fact, at the beginning, there was no pressure. I looked for a script and I would affirm the commercial value of the script. Therefore, when I decided to shoot, I was very confident. However, Afterwards, this movie was badly criticized by many people. I did add a lot of pressure."

"If you want to describe it, what kind of movie do you think this is?"

"Science fiction is the first element, uh, love also occupies a large proportion of it. I hope it is a good story, a movie that will make you feel and feel amazed after watching it."

"Wow, it sounds like a cool movie, so, what kind of characters are there in it?"

"There are some scientists and some passengers on the train. Actually, the scene is not very big, mainly because the setting of the story is very attractive. When I thought of this setting, in order to realize it, I talked to teacher Chen Bin from the Institute of Theory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After a long period of quantum theory and parallel universe classes, it would be cool."

"Ah, it's cool. From another audience's point of view, watching a movie, in fact, is the character in it that impresses me the most. In this movie, what do you think is the most worth looking forward to? ?"

"Naturally it is the male protagonist. This story begins with him as the center. Everything is about his thoughts, which constitutes the tension in the movie."

"Oh, then you played the male protagonist in the movie by yourself, and the heroine was played by Liu Yifei. Can you briefly talk about the love between you?"

"How can I say, this love has no cause or effect. It is only embellished in the plot as a catharsis of emotion. I designed it as a very beautiful love, and only beautiful things can bring out Those, uh, sorry. But the general manager of our studio said that I am a romantic, and I don't know whether this love is romantic or realistic, ha ha."

"Does this character reflect your view of the world, or your view of love?"

"I don't know, I haven't been in a relationship..."

"Ah, hehe." Yang Lan said with a smile, "I heard that you graduated from high school, so you went to Hengdian to work as a Hengdian. Does your family object to your going to Hengdian?"

"Very opposed, but I was also a stubborn temper at the beginning. I had to go to Nortel, Shanghai Opera, and Chinese Opera. If I fail to pass the exam, I won't go to school! Wait until Hengdian, really go to be a horizontal drifter, you will I know, Hengpiao’s life is really very bitter. Especially in the cold winter of us who play dead corpses, if it’s a summer movie, you have to wear a single coat and lie on the ground. If the actor cannot pass at once, you have to Lie down, sometimes without thinking about it for a few hours, it can freeze people."

Shao Shuaijun talked about his experience at the time, and he was deeply impressed: "I tried my best to learn director knowledge, but I didn't want to have this kind of hard life anymore. Fortunately, I succeeded in filming "Buried Alive", and I have the present. To be honest, my success is accidental. Most of the horizontal drifting experience has allowed me to recognize the society and accumulate a bit of skill. More people may still be doing horizontal drifting.

"Horizontal drift is indeed very hard, but you succeeded later, why did you go to Nortel to study again?"

"Haha. Speaking of which I am a student who is really incompetent, I never went to class." Shao Shuaijun smiled awkwardly, "Although I made a movie, it didn't break down. But I feel a lot of my own shortcomings, so I am shooting now. Movies are all very simple structures. For example, "Source Code" is not a big production like Hollywood. That's it, I feel very difficult, especially with regard to special effects shooting. I am a director who advocates blockbusters, especially Seeing the big production of "Lord of the Rings", my heart can be beaten, and I think about making such movies in the future. Therefore, I joined Nortel, hoping to learn more about this."
