Director’s Legend - Chapter 357
Just as Shao Shuaijun was preparing to have dinner with Katzenberg, the three-day weekend in North America from March 4 to March 6 ended. Four new movies were released this week, “Rango”, “Destiny Planning Bureau”, “Beast Boy” and “Weakness”, a literary film by Summit Entertainment.
The literary film “Weakness”, which did not have high expectations, brought a lot of surprises. It was $34.12 million for three days on the weekend, second only to “Rango” with $38 million. In addition to the box office, word-of-mouth is even better, and it’s a hit.
Sweeping away the bleak and sadness of the small-cost movies in January and February opened the box office offensive of Peak Entertainment this year.
After having dinner with Katzenberg, Shao Shuaijun will return to San Francisco. Katzenberg is a bald head, wearing glasses, and looks more academic than businessman, but after all, he is a person who has been the chairman of Disney Studios. His eloquence is very good. Sometimes Shao Shuaijun can’t speak.
Shao Shuaijun felt that he was not well organized, and convinced Katzenberg. It’s just that the status of Dream Chase Entertainment in China has been explained by the network, and it is also said that Dream Chase Entertainment spans the Internet and the entertainment industry. Based on these two industries, it is ambitious to be among the top major studios. Ambition.
At the dinner table, I couldn’t see what interest Katzenberg had in Shao Shuaijun’s words, but at the end, Katzenberg seemed to ask politely: “Does Shao think animated films have a future?”
“I don’t think animated films will decline over time. On the contrary, in the future, animated films will occupy a larger share of the film market and a larger share of the surrounding film.” Shao Shuaijun replied.
Then, without saying anything, bid farewell politely.
Lying on the bed at home, Shao Shuaijun is still thinking about whether DreamWorks can be acquired.
After a while, Li Xiuxiu walked in in her pajamas.
“Is my son given to mom?” Shao Shuaijun asked.
“Yep.”
Throwing aside the company’s affairs, Shao Shuaijun came with interest: “Then, the night is long, let’s do something…”
On March 8, Shao Shuaijun, who had been flying around, finally stabilized and flew to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. The “Avengers” crew has been waiting here. Once Shao Shuaijun is in place, he will start the machine immediately.
This boot is also the highest-level boot ceremony for Shao Shuaijun in filming years. Not only is “Avengers” famous, it has long been popular as a superhero team. It is not only the joining of big-name celebrities, but also that the total investment of this movie is more than 200 million US dollars, which is the largest cost for Shao Shuaijun to shoot, and it is also the largest investment movie ever produced by Summit Entertainment.
For this “Avengers”, Marvel comics and Summit Entertainment, it can be said that no effort was spared in publicity and promotion.
In the first ensemble of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Trio, the Avengers was established, the Women’s Federation is the last film and one that integrates all the previous films. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a revised comic story. There is only a general thread running through all movies. The specific movie content needs to be perfected by the screenwriter.
As early as after the acquisition of Marvel Comics, Shao Shuaijun began to draft the script of “The Avengers”.
The film will take over the previously released “Invincible Hulk”, “Iron Man”, “Iron Man 2”, as well as the “Thor” and “Captain America” that are being released. Because the script creation is relatively early, so whether it is the Punisher or The soul chariot can no longer be added. Therefore, there will only be six heroes in this Women’s Federation, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye.
The script is very simple.
It tells that a sudden and powerful evil force poses a fatal threat to the earth, and no superhero can resist it alone. S.H.I.E.L.D., which has been committed to protecting global security for a long time, was caught off guard. Its commander “Nick Fury” realized that he must create the strongest alliance organization in history and gather superheroes from all sides to show off in order to save the world. The invasion of dark forces.
So six superheroes “Iron Man” Tony Stark, “Thor” Thor, “Captain America” Steve Roger, “Hulk” Bruce Banner, “Black Widow” Na The Avengers alliance formed by Tasha Romanov and “Hawkeye” Clint Button came into being. They showed their magical powers, united as one, and finally defeated the evil forces and ensured the safety of the earth.
On the set in Albuquerque, Shao Shuaijun finally met with the cast and crew.
“Hey, how are you all.” Seeing the cast and crew gathered together, Shao Shuaijun had the demeanor of a leader inspection, waved his hand and almost said that he was a comrade.
“Good director.” Everyone laughed and said hello scattered around.
Shao Shuaijun nodded, and then cleared his throat: “Before, I was delayed for a few days due to some trivial matters. I’m sorry. I’m going to be interviewed by reporters later. Now let us get acquainted with each other. I, Shao Shuaijun, I believe you all know. I am the director of “Inception” and “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, and also a participant and maker of the Marvel Cinematic Universe project. We will spend the next four to five months together. I am a very good person to talk. My guiding belief is to enjoy every moment of shooting. I will not care about what you do in private. Just put in in front of my camera. Okay, who of you will come first, Iron Man?”

Prior to this, Iron Man had appeared in the movies “Iron Man”, “Iron Man 2” and “Invincible Hulk”.

The Hawkeye is quick and bold, has a low-key and calm personality, makes many moves, and is extremely good at sniping. In the movie, Hawkeye and Black Widow have a little emotional entanglement.
Hawkeye will appear in Thor, but only a few shots.
After the six superheroes introduced themselves, Tom Hiddleston, the actor of the villain Rocky, began to introduce himself.
Loki is Thor’s younger brother, but not his biological brother. He was picked up by Odin on the battlefield. In the process of growing up in search of fatherly love and fair treatment, Loki gradually lost his reason and balance. His desire for power made him Embark on the road of rebellion.
