Director’s Legend - Chapter 387

“Iron Man 3 was sold for 1.39 billion US dollars worldwide, and ranked fourth in the global box office. Together with “Avengers”, it became the best-selling film ever directed by Shao Shuaijun! Two Cameron, two Shao Shuaijun, new and old world The King has taken control of the movie box office rankings!”

“Time” reported a piece of news. As of July 3, “Iron Man 3” was officially released worldwide, setting a number of box office records. Among them, North America is 436.98 million US dollars, surpassing “E.T. Alien” and becoming the ninth in North American film history. The global box office also surpassed “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2 and became the fourth in global film history.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe Project, Shao Shuaijun created two movies with a box office of over 1 billion U.S. dollars. The brilliant achievements are nothing short of spectacular. Word of mouth aside for the time being, just from the box office, it throws away the famous Christopher Nolan. At present, Shao Shuaijun’s global gross box office is 7.14 billion U.S. dollars, second only to Spielberg, who has two more movies released and raised his personal record to 8.66 billion U.S. dollars.

Spielberg is in his seventies and eighties, and Shao Shuaijun is less than 30 years old, and he can surpass Spielberg with his eyes closed.

“Shao Shuaijun will be the most outstanding commercial director on the planet, no one can match!”

“People” magazine used Shao Shuaijun as the cover character of this issue, and described in detail Shao Shuaijun’s road to fame, and in less than ten years, there was an upturned rise. The media’s report on Shao Shuaijun is not new, that is, the story has been copied over and over again.

But let alone, readers just like to watch this kind of stories and never tire of them. All reports related to Shao Shuaijun will increase sales. If some of his new stories happen to be reported, it will be even more incredible, and they will definitely be sold out.

Of course, the painting of “Iron Man 3” is nothing new. A small number of media held on to Shao Shuaijun, and most of the media reported on the North American box office battle.

A global masterpiece, the highly anticipated sequel “Despicable Me 2”, a Disney annual drama, “The Lone Ranger” with an investment of 250 million US dollars, everyone thinks that this will be a world-shattering box office The war, all the movies of the same period will die tragically.

The Chinese-language fantasy movie with a good reputation, “The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake” is no exception.

However, there is a word in this world called “unexpected”, and there are two names called “parallel imports” and “dark horse”. Joy is always ubiquitous and unpredictable.

“Kevin Hart: I’m Only Responsible for Laughing”, which was released on a small scale, received $10.1 million in 876 theaters. “Superman: Man of Steel” took another $11.01 million in the fourth week, accumulating $260 million in North America. As a restarted version of the Superman series, it can be said that the scheduled task was completed satisfactorily.

“Monsters University”, “Doomsday”, and “Shocking Crisis” are all in the box office range of 10 to 20 million, and “Hot Police Flower” ranked fourth at $22 million. “Despicable Me 2” is indeed the world’s leading work, with 81.5 million US dollars, laughed at this week’s box office chart, as a cartoon, the box office is super perfect.

If the above movies are all expected, then the second and third places will be invisible.

“The Lone Ranger” only got $27.65 million, bad word-of-mouth box office, it is definitely Disney’s biggest loser this year, even if Johnny Depp, as the most expensive man in Hollywood, can’t change the ending of the movie.

“Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake” forced the “Lone Ranger” to get 30.6 million US dollars. Not only did it not get caught in the blockbuster, but it broke through. The North American box office totaled 84.7 million US dollars and it was not difficult to break 100 million. So far, the global box office is 371 million U.S. dollars, successfully surpassing “Old Boy” and reaching the top Chinese film box office champion.

“Despicable Me 2” met expectations, “White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake” was tenacious, and “The Lone Ranger” lost money and shame. Chinese-language movies temporarily emerged, and Disney became the biggest loser!”-“Hollywood Entertainment Report”

Just when everyone started to make fun of “The Lone Ranger”, with Xiaoqing’s crazy box office power, Jiahe Entertainment held a press conference in Hong Kong. The title of the press conference is the full launch ceremony of the first phase of the four magical series. Many Chinese-speaking directors and international directors such as James Cameron attended the press conference.

The spokesperson is Yang Ying, with a beautiful ponytail: “I am very pleased to be here with friends from the media. This press conference has three themes. The first theme is to congratulate the director Chen Jiashang on the “White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake”. “It has already won the global box office of 371 million U.S. dollars. Next, please tell me a few words.”

Chen Jiashang is a little bald, with a round face smiling very brightly: “I have been the most proud of my life recently. As a director, others will always compare you with other directors and say who and who has won what award, who Who and who’s movie bought how much box office. As a director of the same generation as Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, it is a very tragic thing. Speaking of the director’s winning award, everyone first thinks of Li Yu. Speaking of the director’s good box office, everyone Will be the first to think of Shao Shuaijun.”

“However, now everyone talks about the box office, I can finally add one sentence, that, the highest-grossing Chinese movie in the world, was made by me, not Shao Shuaijun. Oh, it is really comfortable. Thanks to Director Shao for inviting me to join the fourth The Big Magic series, during the filming process, gave me a lot of guidance on how to make a film more in line with the international trend. Thanks to Jiahe Entertainment for providing us with such a good shooting platform. Thanks to special effects companies such as D2 and ILM. Your hard work has resulted in the success of this film. Thank you to all the audience. Your support is the driving force behind our continuous filming of good works.”

“It seems that Director Chen is really happy. The smile at the corner of her mouth has not disappeared.” Yang Ying took the topic, “Director Chen thanked so many people. As an audience, I also want to express my gratitude to Director Chen. You have contributed a wonderful movie to us… the second theme is directed by James Cameron. Future China will direct “Monkey King: Harass in Heaven”. I will invite Director Cameron to speak below.”

Cameron doesn’t speak English, so I’m very happy to come to China to make a movie. I watched “The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake”. I think the movie is more beautiful than I thought. In this project, I am sincerely honored. I will work with you to make “Monkey Goku: Havoc in Heaven” well and make a great movie.”

Cameron said very short and didn’t mean to say more. Yang Ying made up for a while and started the third theme.

This theme is about Shao Shuaijun’s new movie.

Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: “I originally planned to make a movie first, and the name has been named “The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer”. I only waited for Director Chen’s movie to make money and started shooting. But then I thought about it. , I feel that directing the battle against the deer cannot portray the image of the Yellow Emperor well. As one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor bears our Chinese people and has a lot of respect. I hope to portray him more fully and humanely.”

“So, in the end, I decided to start shooting from the beginning, shooting a trilogy about the growth of the Yellow Emperor, the war between the Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor, and the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. The shooting method will be three-part continuous shooting to ensure that the film is in style and The continuity of the story.”

“So, Director Shao, can you tell me the story that the movie probably tells?” As soon as Shao Shuaijun finished speaking, the reporter couldn’t wait to ask questions.

Shao Shuaijun laughed and said: “The story of the movie is based on the legend of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. After adaptation, it may be slightly different from the legend.”

“What are the names of the new trilogy?”

“Tentatively scheduled to be the first “The Yellow Emperor: A Bear Rise”, the second “The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Yellow Emperor”, and the third “The Yellow Emperor: Dragon Totem”.”

“How would the main actors choose?”

“The Yellow Emperor Trilogy will have a strong magical color. The characters and animals will be contrary to reality. Therefore, 80% of the film’s shots will be created with special effects, and the cost will be very huge. So , My idea is that you don’t need celebrities. Of course, if celebrities are willing to drop their pay to participate in a movie, I welcome them very much. After the release, I will see the box office and maybe take a red envelope to make up for it.” Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.

The influence of Chinese celebrities in the world is too small, and there is no difference between asking and not asking. Shao Shuaijun is not willing to spend wronged money. If a celebrity is willing to lower the pay, it is worth considering. To become a celebrity, his acting skills must be of good quality.

The reporters questioned one after another. However, “The Monkey King: Harassment in Heaven” and the Yellow Emperor trilogy are still in the confidential stage, and there is no further disclosure. The two-hour press conference passed unconsciously.

Next, Shao Shuaijun officially launched the crew preparation and casting plan for the Yellow Emperor Trilogy.

The preparation of the crew is very simple, because it was decided very early.

The producers are Shao Shuaijun, James Cameron and Wang Wei. Shao Shuaijun will also serve as the producer of “The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven” for Cameron.

The director of the director group is Shao Shuaijun, the executive director is Gao Zhisheng, the action directors are Dong Wei and Cheng Xiaodong, the assistant directors are Jiang Zhigang and Yang Ying, and the assistant director is Zhang Yimou’s daughter Zhang. Zhang Mozeng directed “No More Lonely”, which was good at the box office, but the film that followed was so-so. This time he came to apprentice.

The photography team is also an old acquaintance, Huang Yuetai, Lu Le and others who have worked with Shao Shuaijun in many films. The lighting team, props team, and makeup team are all people who have worked together in the past. These people can be said to be Shao Shuaijun’s team.

This filming will cooperate with China Film Group to assist the crew in the arrangement of venues and personnel. Moreover, the investment is not only Chasing Dream Golden Harvest and Summit Entertainment, but also several other domestic film companies. The four magical series are not dream chasers and can be eaten alone.

Moreover, the pursuit of dreams has passed the stage of eating alone, and cooperation can achieve a win-win situation.

But no matter how much capital there is, in the crew, only Shao Shuaijun is the biggest one. Shao Shuaijun decides everything. This is the case for this casting. Without Shao Shuaijun’s consent, even if it is just a small role, no one else has the right to make a decision. In the past, Shao Shuaiju was still very easy-going. For a small role, it was decided by the next person.

The Yellow Emperor’s trilogy is different. In Shao Shuaijun’s mind, this will be an epoch-making Chinese drama without any flaws. For every role, Shao Shuaijun has to audition himself. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
