Director’s Legend - Chapter 344

“Haha, it doesn’t matter if I think too little or too much. What’s important is that Dream Chasing Entertainment Group is a very good candidate for cooperation. You have a thousand ways to block Lionsgate’s share acquisition plan, but I I just made the spokesperson object to it twice because I know that the object of my cooperation is to chase a dream, not a small Lionsgate. Those shares are a gift from me to you, showing my sincerity.”

Carl spoke unhurriedly.

Shao Shuaijun was speechless for a while. The shares I bought with money have become a gift from you? How can these capitalists speak? Shao Shuaijun sometimes was too lazy to talk to such people, and then rolled his eyes again: “After a long time, how can I cooperate?”

Carl’s face remained as usual: “It’s very simple. I will sell my Lionsgate shares to you, and you Chase Dream Entertainment Group, teamed up with me to set up a bureau and use financial leverage to invite Sony into the urn!”

Blinking his eyes, Shao Shuaijun spread his hands: “I’m sorry, I don’t know what financial leverage or gadgets are. We never break the law in normal operations. Also, I have never participated in the company’s operations from the beginning. The company’s decision-making is the management. Making a decision, it’s useless to find me.”

“I know it’s useless to find you.” Carl agrees with Shao Shuaijun’s self-evaluation. “I will meet with the executives of Dreaming Entertainment in person. I just want to agree with you now, because I know that this company can rise. It has something to do with your superhuman vision. As long as you don’t object, I will convince them.”

Shao Shuaijun did not speak and was silent.

Carl seems to know what Shao Shuaijun is worried about: “My nickname is really bad, a corporate predator, but you should understand that my hedge fund is huge. Many shareholders are willing to trust me and give me the money to operate. , I also bring them billions of dollars in profits every year. I never pit a partner, this is my business belief!”

The tone seemed very sincere.

Shao Shuaijun moved slightly.

In fact, when Karl said that he would join forces with Sony, Shao Shuaijun was moved. To say that in Hollywood, there are too many film companies that don’t like Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment, or the company that Shao Shuaijun hates most, is Sony, the parent company of Columbia Graduate Films, and 20th Century Fox Films.

Ever since Summit Entertainment acquired Marvel Comics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe Project has been the most important plan of Summit Entertainment. The issue of distribution rights of Iron Man and the Avengers was resolved amicably with Paramount, and the negotiation with New Line for Blade Warrior went smoothly, and Lionsgate also successfully resolved the copyrights of the Punisher, Humanoid, and Sea Bian King. There are Sony holding Spider-Man, Soul Chariot and not letting go, Fox holding X-Men and not returning it.

If it wasn’t for Fox’s management problem, even the Fantastic Four negotiations would not even start.

In fact, in order to get back the copyright, Shao Shuaijun is willing to pay a huge price, and the Marvel superheroes of the complete camp will make back this loss. The problem is that these film companies are unwilling to see Summit Entertainment grow bigger and even unwilling to start negotiations. In this regard, Shao Shuaijun has nothing to do. This is not a matter of two children fighting for candy, or grabbing it.

Now that he heard that Carl was going to put on Sony, Shao Shuaijun became interested unconsciously.

Turning his eyes, Shao Shuaijun pressed what he wanted to say, and then said: “Mr. Carl, I think I should go back and think about it carefully, and then give you an answer.”

Carl shook the glass and motioned for a toast: “Naturally, look forward to good news.”

After leaving the restaurant, Shao Shuaijun got into the car and asked the driver to go to the airport.

He was very uncomfortable after eating this meal, feeling that his every move was under Carl’s control. These old foxes were really scary.

If he decides on his own, he might have to count the money if he is sold.

This kind of thing has to go back to discuss with his wife, Li Xiuxiu can support the Dream Entertainment Group, naturally is also a superhuman figure.

That night, Shao Shuaijun flew to Santa Monica by special plane, and handed the prepared “Avengers” script to Louis Lenal. Louis is another old partner of Shao Shuaijun in Hollywood since Mitchell. He has collaborated on many films, all of whom are the producer and casting director of Louis.

This time, Louis will not only serve as the producer and casting director of The Avengers, but also the executive deputy director of the movie. The cooperation with Shao Shuaijun has allowed Louis to accumulate a lot of experience in the directing industry. He already has a plan to write a good book and direct him in the next two years.

Shao Shuaijun gave great support to this, as long as Louis writes a good script, let Louis direct the movie.

“Lewis, you prepare first. The actors who should be signed, like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jack Gyllenhill, Chris Evans, Mark Ruflow, are signing now. Otherwise, after the release of “Thor” and “Captain America”, the actors’ worth will rise again.”

“Okay.” When Shao Shuaijun finished explaining and was leaving, Louis remembered something and asked, “Shao, “The Avengers” will be filmed next year. Do you have any filming plans for this blank schedule? If not, I I may be busy preparing for the “Warren Archives.” When you come to me again, I may not have time.”

“Warren Archives” is a book that Mitchell bought in 2009. At that time, a screenwriter named Tony De Rosa Gullender came to Summit Entertainment to deliver the script. He invested in three companies in total. New Line Film companies, Lionsgate Pictures and Summit Entertainment.

The new line was not interested, Lionsgate did not give a high price, and Mitchell was not prepared to give it a high price. After showing the book to Shao Shuaijun, Shao Shuaijun liked the story very much, so he gave a high price to buy the book. Because the 2010 file expired, the script was put on hold for the time being, and it was not put on the agenda until this year.

The director has been confirmed and invited the Chinese director Wen Ziren to direct. Wen Ziren grew up in Australia. His masterpiece is the global sensation “SAW”.

Hearing what Louis said, Shao Shuaijun looked up for a while, and was a little bit undecided. It took a long time to say: “Leave the schedule for me. I really have a plan. I didn’t intend to put it on the agenda now. But you are right. Before “The Avengers”, I had a large period of blank time, even if it was left for my wife and children, I still had some spare time. Let’s say, “The Night Watcher” that I directed before was the first IMAX live-action movie, and it failed at the box office. I did a lot of homework to revise, and finally decided on a plan. “The Night Watcher” does not need to be overturned and retaken. I only need to take some additional shots and edit the original copy. It is a complete new movie. I will Hand over the supplementary script to you as soon as possible, and you can help me convene the crew again.”

“The Nightman” is Shao Shuaijun’s heart thorn. In the past few years, he has been smoothly, but he has always been worried about the “Nightman” which can be said to be his debut. Almost as soon as he was free, he began to analyze the success or failure of “Nightman” and began to revise it. Several notebooks were filled with just the notes about the movie.

If you count the large number of sub-camera albums, it is absolutely amazing.

After two lifetimes, he is a very simple person, low-key to boring life, time is occupied by movies. Perhaps it is this passion for movies that allows him to maintain his great enthusiasm for movies, constantly modify to perfect the lens, and make the original movie more perfect.

But let these films that should have been popular go one step further, and it can’t cover up that he himself has not yet succeeded in a film that is entirely his own. Therefore, Shao Shuaijun has never let go of “The Night Watcher”. Today, with Louis’s reminder, he finally decided to film “The Night Watcher” again, and once again hit the original.

It was already October 1, 2010, and the era he knew well was about to embark on an unknown journey. It’s also time to start a new journey. In this journey, he wants to build a superhero empire and a movie dream journey that belongs to him!

“Let “Night Watcher” regain confidence!”

The night sky made Shao Shuaijun extra awake, lying on the sofa, not feeling sleepy.

The time difference between the east and west hemisphere is nearly ten hours.

After returning to China, Shao Shuaijun was getting ready to sleep, Li Xiuxiu straightened her stomach and told him the news that today, the 47th Golden Horse Awards announced the nomination list. “Old Boy” directed by Shao Shuaijun won Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Huang Bo), Best Supporting Actor (Xu Ying), Best Original Screenplay, Best Photography (Lu Le), Best Seven nominations for best editing.

This is the first contact with the Golden Horse Awards since the “Night Watcher”. The Golden Horse Award Organizing Committee has been eager to announce the news that Shao Shuaijun is determined to attend this Golden Horse Awards.

“Seven nominations, is this comforting me?” Shao Shuaijun yawned.

Li Xiuxiu is now visibly plump, her face shining with maternal sheen: “Could you please comfort me, if you haven’t spoken in the past few years, Sister Mei is not allowed to chase dreams of Jiahe’s films to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. The Golden Horse Awards are fast. It has become a decoration, becoming more and more niche. I finally resolve it with you, and if you don’t give enough sweetness, what should you do if you turn your face again.”

“As for, I have never held grudges, nor have they not let them participate.”

“You big *OSS still use to speak, mixed with Chinese movies, and a few people do not look at your face.”

“My wife, don’t say that, it makes me feel like I am a gangster, I am a good man.” Shao Shuaijun knelt down and touched Li Xiuxiu’s belly. “Son, do you think Dad is a good man?”

After getting tired of Li Xiuxiu, Shao Shuaijun took a bath and fell asleep. He went to the United States for the past two days and had no time for jet lag and was very sleepy. The next day, the refreshed Shao Shuaijun told Li Xiuxiu about Carl Icahn’s plan. Li Xiuxiu immediately called the company’s executives to the villa for a meeting.

Of course, the meeting is already two days later.

And from October 1st to 3rd, “Warm Corpse” won the box office this weekend for US$24.56 million. This result far exceeded the company’s expected opening of US$15 million. Gao Zhisheng’s directorial debut, there is A good start! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
