The five-day exchange made Shao Shuaijun's mind feel like he was about to fly with wings. In the following two days, at the jury of the Beijing University Student Film Festival, he saw many students' works, which may be immature, but the ideas in them are full of sparks.

Looking at them, Shao Shuaijun can feel how many dreams of student directors are contained.

Every comment he wrote was very heavy, and he was afraid that it would hurt a heart with dreams. Once upon a time, I also had dreams and stumbled on the road of life. More or less, the sense of mission to revitalize Chinese films is shrouded in his heart, and Shao Shuaijun feels that he should do something for them.

"Liu Dehua launched the Asian new star director this year, and when the box office of "Source Code" comes out, I will also hold a similar plan to support new directors."

The days at Nortel were short-lived, and it was April 20 in a blink of an eye. The plane shuttled in the blue sky and white clouds, Shao Shuaijun looked out the window, and his mood was uneasy about gains and losses. Will the revamped Source Code be a success in the United States? How much reassuring is that there are not many blockbusters released throughout April and May. There is only one "Star Wars Prequel 3: The Sith Strikes Back", which will be released on May 19, and "Source Code" is estimated to have been drawn early at that time.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Fan Bingbing, who was sitting not far away, was a little bored and asked softly.

"Didn't think about anything, why don't you sleep? How long is it going? ”

"No, I can't sleep well when I sleep on the plane, but Sissi, I sleep so sweetly. And this Mr. Wang, he actually snored, it's so hateful. ”

Lionsgate is optimistic about "Source Code", so it held this premiere, hoping to use media comments to start the first shot. This time it can be said that the number of theaters in the first batch alone has reached 2,000, which is worth fanfare.

In order to prepare for the premiere in the United States, the three protagonists, Shao Shuaijun, Liu Yifei and Fan Bingbing, all flew over. The premiere in the mainland was handed over to Huang Bo, Ren Quan, Zhang Hanyu and others. Wang Zhonglei is the person who leads the team.

"Then call him up, don't you women all say that lack of sleep affects the skin, at tomorrow's premiere, thousands of old beauties are watching, don't discredit our Chinese female surname." Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.

"It's impossible, sister, I'm naturally beautiful, and I will only add glory and not discredit it. However, it is still Sissi's skin that is the best, similar to that of a baby, and I am really envious. Hey, Ah Jun, did you say? ”

"How do I know?"

"Didn't you all kiss?"

"Khan!" Shao Shuaijun was speechless, "Are women so gossipy!" We are for the sake of making movies, for the sake of art, please don't think crookedly, ok, Fan Bingbing? ”

……

Lionsgate attaches great importance to "Source Code", to be precise, it attaches great importance to the development of China's film market, and the cooperation with Huayi Brothers is a signal released by them. The mainland's film market is doubling every year, just like the economy, movies are developing with the prosperity of the economy.

In the 21st century, behind the increasing prosperity of Hollywood is the high production cost and labor cost. As the economy shifted to emerging countries, domestic films in the United States were bound to be impacted, and Lionsgate was optimistic about China's future as a world power with a population of 1.3 billion (at the time).

Shao Shuaijun and his entourage were greeted by Rob Friedman, co-chairman of Lionsgate, a middle-aged man with a moustache and a few gray hairs. Of course, he was accompanied by Morris, an executive.

"Whoa, dear king, welcome." Rob Friedman was very enthusiastic, and after hugging Wang Zhonglei, he looked at Shao Shuaijun again, "This is a genius director, Chinese Shao, right?" Welcome to Santa Monica. ”

Take a day off, adjust to the jet lag, and the next afternoon, hold the premiere of "Source Code" at the Hollywood Chinese Theater. If you want to say that in Hollywood, the only one that has anything to do with China is probably this Chinese theater. Sid Grumman, the king of the theater, spent a lot of money to build it because of his love for Chinese culture, and the whole theater is full of Chinese style.

Of course, in addition to the architectural style of Chinese theaters, there is no trace of Chinese flavor, and movies, China is too weak after all. There are more than 140 hand and foot prints in front of the theater, among which only Wu Yusen is a Chinese director in the United States. Shao Shuaijun was unhappy with Wu Yusen, but he also had to stand here and sigh that Wu Yusen is a banner of Chinese films.

The aesthetics of violence conquered the old beauty.

"Xiao Shao, what are you looking at, look at these handprints? You just have to keep going, sooner or later. Wang Zhonglei patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder, he wore an evening dress tonight, very chic.

"I don't care about this, this is a sigh, Chinese films still need a lot of hard work to rise. We have the largest population in the world, but there are few world-class superstars, and the gap is huge. ”

If you feel emotional, you will make movies with your heart and strive to make more good movies. Let's go, let's go in, it's about to start coming, get ready to greet you. ”

"It's not interesting to go in, I don't know anyone who comes."

"Make a scene, if you come to Hollywood in the future, it's all connections."

For Wang Zhonglei, there are huge connections here, Hollywood in this era is still the most dominant entertainment industry in the world, and any second-rate star can kill a large number of stars who think they are high-end in seconds when they go to China. However, for Shao Shuaijun, there is no deterrent, just to watch the excitement.

"Hey, isn't that Gary Elvis?" As the heroine of the movie, Liu Yifei and Shao Shuaijun stood together to welcome the guests present today.

"Seems to be." Shao Shuaijun turned his head to see a middle-aged man in a suit waving around, this person is the doctor protagonist in last year's popular "SAW", it is said that he was still very handsome when he was young, but well, now it looks more or less ordinary.

Holding hands with Gary Elvis is an explosion-headed beauty, Shao Shuaijun has studied the "SAW" series and knows that this is Dina Meyer.

The reporters who arrived at the scene were crazy to shoot at the two of them, and last year's "SAW" was too popular. not only created a Chinese-American director James Win, but also created this group of actors.

The guests at the scene kept coming, there were no superstars who were too loud, and most of them were second- and third-tier stars who had cooperated with Lionsgate. Shao Shuaijun and Liu Yifei are not the kind of people who are good at dancing with long sleeves, except for nodding and smiling, there is no further conversation, and these stars also look down on the two, let alone talk.

Fortunately, this scene didn't last long.

When the time comes, the doors of the Chinese cinema are closed and the movie is about to begin.
