Director’s Legend - Chapter 339

Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu have known each other as early as 2004 at the Golden Horse Awards. After that, I made movies in Hollywood, and I often met, although I didn’t have a deep friendship, I was considered half a friend. Li Yu’s youngest son also appeared in Shao Shuaijun’s “Teddy Bear” and played the Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh.

“Last night I went to watch “Rise of the Apes”, a very exciting movie.” Li Yu sipped tea and said, “Now Wu Yusen is back to the mainland to make movies. Hollywood is left with you and me. Chinese directors are all It’s almost extinct, it’s not easy.”

“Yes, domestic directors still can’t go out. This is a problem.”

“It’s not just that the director can’t go out, but the film industry can’t go out. If everyone can be like you and eat everything, it will be great. Recently, my son became obsessed with your song. China-Style’ keeps roaring, you really have a magical aura, as the media said, you can enjoy everything you play.” Li Yu also learned China-Style twice in a dull manner.

“Nenghuo is good, but you don’t win the award. You are now the best director of the Oscar. Sitting in front of you, you feel a little shorter.” Shao Shuaijun shook his head.

He has been making movies for many years, and the box office is estimated to have exceeded 2 billion US dollars, but the number of awards is really very rare, except for a Saturn Award for best director, he didn’t hold any shit.

“If you don’t make an art film, it’s of course difficult to win prizes. “Avatar” was the number one box office in the world. It also took 1.05 billion yuan in the mainland to squeeze your “Old Boy”. As a result, the Oscars are still only I can get some technology awards. You have to try more art films too. You always make commercial films. Aren’t you tired?”

“If you watch me making movies one after another, you know how good I am making commercial films. By the way, we have been talking for a long time, and haven’t asked you why you are looking for me?”

“I can’t find you for dinner if I’m okay? When a rich man, I look down on our flat-headed people?” Li You said sourly. Compared with Shao Shuaijun, who is also a Chinese director of the Three Musketeers, he can only get a little director’s fee, even the share I haven’t taken it much. With Shao Shuaijun, he is a complete poor.

“Yes, didn’t I always invite you to drink tea? You must have something to do without going to the Three Treasure Hall.”

Li Yu cleared his throat: “That’s right, this year’s Golden Horse Awards, I am going to invite you to participate. I also know that you and the Golden Horse Awards have always misunderstood a bit. This time I served as a judge of the Golden Horse Awards. Unite and inspire the purpose of the Chinese film circle. You are the leader of the mainland directors, and you have to take the lead. In recent years, under your influence, many mainland filmmakers have refused to participate in the Golden Horse Awards and continue to make trouble. We Chinese are a mess again.”

Shao Shuaijun smiled awkwardly: “I really didn’t affect anything. I had forgotten everything about “The Night Watcher”. In the past few years, Hollywood movies have been shot one after another, and little attention has been paid to Chinese film awards. However, you said. It really makes sense, and the three places should work together.”

Li Yu is a director who sincerely cares about Chinese-language films, and Shao Shuaijun also hopes that Chinese-language films can rise. The desires of both parties are the same, and they have decided a lot after chatting.

Shao Shuaijun will participate in the Golden Horse Awards this time, and Dreaming Golden Harvest will also encourage its directors and actors to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. And at the beginning of next year, we will strive to hold a directors exchange meeting between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to jointly promote the development of Chinese-language films. With Li Yu promoting on Treasure Island, Shao Shuaijun on the mainland, and Chen Jia’s superior director in Hong Kong, this meeting is bound to make some immediate changes.

After talking about Chinese-language movies, Shao Shuaijun suddenly said: “Yes, I bought a book before, “Fantasy Drifting Called Young Pi”. This book is very popular, but many people say that it cannot be adapted into a movie. I think there is much to do. You just happened to be fine lately, so why don’t I invite you to direct as the first move to promote director exchanges?”

“”The Fantasy Drifting of Young Pi”?”

“Yes, I wanted to adapt this book a long time ago, but I don’t think I can grasp some of the content now. My research on literary films is not very deep. It would be a pity if I only made commercial tastes. You are Among the Chinese directors, are you interested in those who are most particular about making literary and artistic films? I plan to make this book the highlight of Dream Chasing Entertainment, and let Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, Summit Entertainment and Dream Chasing South Asia jointly invest as an exchange in the world film circle. Shao Shuaijun outlined the blueprint.

China, India, and the United States are definitely the three sacred places of the future world film.

Needless to say, the United States is now the center of world cinema. With a population of 1.4 billion as the foundation, China has no reason to fail to become a film center. India is an unknown number, but film is India’s pillar industry. Moreover, India has been surpassing China in population and is definitely a potential stock country.

As a company that aspires to become an entertainment giant, it is necessary to lay out its own industrial scale. The advantage of Dream Entertainment is that it spans three countries and can effectively integrate the markets of the three places. “The Fantastic Drifting of Young Pi” can be regarded as an integrated attempt. Chinese directors, American productions, and Indian filming are perfect cooperation methods.

The plan was very tempting, Li Yu did not refuse or immediately agreed. He wanted to go back and think about it. When the Golden Horse Awards meet, we will give a reply.

After drinking the tea, Shao Shuaijun invited Li Yu to be a guest at his home. Li Yu was anxious to promote the exchange of directors in the three places and had no time. So they dispersed, Shao Shuaijun paid the bill and went straight home to accompany his wife and look forward to the child.

On August 9, the three-day weekend of “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” has ended, and the box office from all over the world has been summarized to Summit Entertainment.

This weekend’s North American box office chart, as predicted by the media, no one can stop the pace of “Rise of the Apes”, except for a new release of “Second-rate Detective”, there is no new movie. Therefore, on the first weekend of this August, “Rise of the Apes” swept the box office with 86.75 million US dollars.

This result greatly exceeded the $50 million predicted by the experts. As a remake of the film, the result is really against the sky.

In China, “The Rise of the Apes” is also unstoppable. The movies originally scheduled for August have all been advanced or postponed because of the schedule of “The Rise of the Apes”. Therefore, after Friday, Saturday, and July, “Rise of the Apes” won RMB 14.02 million, which is an amazing momentum.

All over the world, they have achieved strong results and handed in their answers. Especially in Japan, “Rise of the Apes” reached the top with 1.1 billion yen in three days, which made the Japanese media exclaimed. Because this is Shao Shuaijun’s movie, the 25th box office weekly champion in Japan.

“33 Days of Broken Relationship” 2 times, “Source Code” 2 times, “Painted Skin” 4 times, “Inception” 4 times, “500 Days with Summer” 2 times, “Heartbeat” 1 time, “Old “Boy” 3 times, “Teddy Bear” 4 times.

“Shao Shuaijun has surpassed Cheng Long and became the most successful Chinese filmmaker at the Japanese box office.”-“The Asahi Shimbun”.

After winning the championship in many places, the global results of “Rise of the Apes” have also been added up, with a total box office of 210 million US dollars, and a perfect answer sheet.

“Shao Shuaijun is the most successful commercial director in Hollywood. His success lies in that he will always succeed!”-“Variety Show”.

“Shao Shuaijun is a director who cannot be avoided in film history. You must know that we are used to ignoring his age. We often mention that he is only twenty-four years old this year, which will make many directors depressed and uncomfortable! At his age, Cameron Before he hugged his ex-wife’s thighs (the first movie “Terminator” was invested by his ex-wife), Spielberg played movies, but he didn’t play any tricks. On the contrary, he couldn’t even pass the school exam. Shao’s future is Brilliant, there is definitely a chance to surpass the achievements of Cameron and Spielberg in the commercial field!”-“Faces”.

Amidst the noise, another weekend passed from August 13th to 15th. This week, “The Hunger Games” was sold at a global box office of 650 million U.S. dollars, earning enough. “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1 has also accumulated a box office of 640 million U.S. dollars, and it is still in global hits. This momentum seems to be no problem for the global box office to exceed 700 million.

And this week there are two new films released on a large scale in Hollywood, Sony’s “Lifetime Become a Girl” and Universal’s “Cracked Boy Scott”, plus “Second-rate Detective” which performed well last week. The Rise of the Ball. After three days of smoke-free war, the results came out.

“Despicable Me” produced by Universal, although it has been in theaters for 6 weeks, it still scored a good score of 6.76 million U.S. dollars, ranking fifth. North America has accumulated 220 million U.S. dollars so far. The producer has released the news, “Despicable I 2” began production.

“The Crooked Boy Scott”, which is also produced by Universal, is not so lucky. The US$8.77 million ranked fourth, which is seriously inconsistent with Universal’s expectations. Universal’s record this year can be said to be one of the exceptions of “Despicable Me.” In addition, the entire army was wiped out, and the six seats were in danger.

Sony’s “Second-rate Detective” and “I’ll be a girl for a lifetime” are not bad, ranking third and second with US$11 million and US$18 million respectively.

And the top of the list is still “Rise of the Apes”, which made persistent efforts for three days this weekend and achieved a super result of 75.6 million US dollars. The votes fell by less than 13, which once again surprised everyone. While the total box office in North America has accumulated to 200 million US dollars, Mainland China, “Rise of the Apes” once again won the weekly champion with a total box office of 25.8 million yuan with 125.6 million yuan.

In Japan, the trend of “Rise of the Apes” is even higher, achieving a total of 1.6 billion yen, which is also Shao Shuaijun’s 26th championship in Japan. The global box office is very gratifying, the total box office has reached a height of 405 million US dollars.

“With the depletion of Hollywood creative talents, “Rise of the Apes” has improved the collective IQ of this year’s summer movies and the shift in collective thinking.”-“Wall Street Journal”.

“The Ape Ball performed well, that is, the performance of the human image is disappointing. In addition, this film discards the original social politics of the subject, and replaces it with animal experiments and a vigilance of human sin.”-“National Public Radio” ( United States).

“”The Rise of the Apes”, as the name suggests, the apes rise up to find their dignity under the manipulation of humans. This is a B-rated film that exceeds the expected goal.”-“New York Post”.

Mtime’s score is 8.5, IMDB’s score is 8.7, Rotten Tomatoes website is 86 freshness, Mtime.com movie reviews 89 vividness, Yahoo movie critics A- rating, audience A rating. The word-of-mouth and box office have become popular across the board. Just like “Inception”, everyone is paying attention to the extent to which “Rise of the Apes” will go. (To be continued.
