Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu are also old acquaintances, and they met each other as early as the 04 Golden Horse Awards. After that, they all made movies in Hollywood, and they often met, although they didn't have deep friendships, they were half friends. Li Yu's youngest son also appeared in Shao Shuaijun's "Teddy Bear", playing the Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh.

"I went to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes last night, and it was a wonderful movie." Li Yu drank tea and said, "Now that Wu Yusen has returned to the mainland to make movies, Hollywood is left with you and me to support, and Chinese directors are about to become extinct, which is not easy." ”

"Yes, domestic directors have never been able to get out, this is a problem."

"It's not just that directors can't get out, the film industry can't get out, if everyone can be like you, both East and West, that's amazing. Recently, my son has been obsessed with your song, and every day 'I should China-Style' roar non-stop, you really like the media said, you have a magic aura, you can play anything can be popular. Li Yan also sullenly learned China-Style twice.

"It's good to be able to be popular, but you don't win awards, you are now the Oscar for Best Director, and sitting in front of you, you feel a head shorter." Shao Shuaijun shook his head.

He has made movies for many years, and the box office is estimated to be more than $2 billion, but the number of awards he has won is really rare, except for a Saturn Award for Best Director, he has not won any bullshit.

"If you don't make art films, of course it will be difficult to win awards, "Avatar" has burned to the first place in the world at the box office, and it has also taken 1.05 billion yuan in the mainland, squeezing your "Old Boy" down. As a result, the Oscars can only win some technical awards. You're going to have to try more art films, too. Always shoot commercial films, aren't you tired? ”

"If you look at me making movies one after another, you can see how cool I am at making commercial films. By the way, we've been talking for a long time, and we haven't asked you what you're looking for me? ”

"I can't eat with you if I'm fine? When you are rich, you look down on us ordinary people? Li Yu said sourly, compared with Shao Shuaijun, who is also a Chinese director of the Three Musketeers, he can only get some director fees, and he hasn't even taken much of the share. With Shao Shuaijun, he is a complete pauper.

"Yes. Didn't I treat you to tea? If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you must have something. ”

Li Yu cleared his throat: "That's the case, this year's Golden Horse Awards, I am ready to invite you to participate." I also know that you and the Golden Horse Awards have always been a bit of a misunderstanding. This time I was a judge at the Golden Horse Awards. is also holding a filmmaker who can make people across the Taiwan Strait and three places. Unite together to invigorate the purpose of the Chinese film industry. You are the leader of mainland directors, you have to play a leading role. In the past few years, under your influence, many mainland filmmakers have refused to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, and if we continue to make trouble, we Chinese will be scattered again. ”

Shao Shuaijun smiled embarrassedly: "I really didn't affect anything, I forgot what happened at the time of "Night Watch", Hollywood movies have been made one after another in recent years, and I rarely pay attention to Chinese film awards." However, what you said does make sense, and it is time for the three places to cooperate. ”

Li Yan is a director who sincerely cares about Chinese films, and Shao Shuaijun also hopes that Chinese films can rise.

Shao Shuaijun will go to the Golden Horse Awards this time, and Dream Chase 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 director exchange meeting between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places to jointly promote the development of Chinese-language films. With Li Yu promoting in Baodao, Shao Shuaijun promoting in the mainland, and Chen Jia and other directors promoting in Hong Kong, this meeting is bound to make some changes that can have immediate results.

After chatting about Chinese movies, Shao Shuaijun suddenly said: "By the way, I bought a book before, "Fantasy Drifting Called Young Pi", this book is very popular, but many people say that it can't be adapted into a movie, I think there is a lot to be done." You just haven't had anything to do lately, so why don't I ask you to direct as the first initiative to promote director exchanges? ”

"'Shonen Pi's Fantasy Drifting'?"

"Yes, I wanted to adapt this book for a long time, but there are some contents that I don't think I can grasp now, and I don't have a deep study of literary films, so it would undoubtedly be a pity if I only made a commercial taste. You are the most elaborate among Chinese directors in literary films, are you interested? 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 sketched out the blueprint.

China, India, and the United States are definitely the three holy places for world cinema in the future.

Needless to say, the United States is now the center of world cinema. China, with a population of 1.4 billion as its foundation, has no reason why it cannot develop into a film center. India is unknown, but film is India's pillar industry, and India has always surpassed China in terms of population, and it is definitely a potential country.

As a company aspiring to become an entertainment giant, it is necessary to lay out its own industrial scale, and the advantage of Dream Entertainment is that it spans three countries and can effectively integrate the markets of the three places. "The Fantasy Drifting of Young Pi" can be regarded as an attempt to integrate, with a Chinese director, an American production, and an Indian shooting, a perfect way to cooperate.

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 are agreed, we will give a reply.

After drinking tea, Shao Shuaijun invited Li Yu to his house as a guest, but Li Yu had no time because he was in a hurry to promote the exchange of directors from the three places. In this way, they dispersed, Shao Shuaijun paid the bill, and went home directly to accompany his wife and look forward to the child.

On August 9th, the three-day weekend of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has ended, and the box office around the world has been summarized to Summit Entertainment.

In the North American box office list this weekend, as predicted by the media, no one can stop the footsteps of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", except for a "second-rate police detective" is a new film, there is no new movie. As a result, on the first weekend of this August, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" swept the box office with $86.75 million.

This result greatly exceeded the $50 million predicted by experts as a remake of the film. The results are really against the sky.

In China, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is also unstoppable, and the movies originally scheduled for August have been advanced or postponed because of the schedule of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Therefore, three days later, on Friday, Saturday, and July, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" won 140.2 million yuan, and the momentum was amazing.

All over the world, they have handed in the answer sheet with strong opening results. Especially in Japan, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" topped with 1.1 billion yen in three days. Let the Japanese media exclaim. Because this is Shao Shuaijun's movie. Twenty-fifth box office weekly champion in Japan.

"33 Days of Broken Love" 2 times, "Source Code" 2 times, "Painted Skin" 4 times, "Inception" 4 times, "500 Days with Sammo" 2 times, "Heartbeat" 1 time, "Old Boy" 3 times, "Teddy Bear" 4 times.

After winning the championship in many places, the global results of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" also came out, with a total box office of $210 million. Delivered a perfect answer.

"Shao Shuaijun is Hollywood's most successful commercial director. His success lies in. He will always succeed! - "Variety".

"Shao Shuaijun is an indispensable director in the history of film, you know, we are used to ignoring his age. often mentions that he is only twenty-four years old this year, which will make many directors depressed and uncomfortable! At his age, Cameron hasn't hugged his ex-wife's thigh (the first movie "The Terminator" was invested by his ex-wife), Spielberg did play movies, but he didn't play any tricks, and he couldn't even get into school. Shao's future is brilliant and there is definitely a chance to surpass Cameron and Spielberg's achievements in the business world! —"The Face".

In the midst of the uproar, from August 13th to 15th, another weekend passed, and this week, "The Hunger Games" was drawn with a total of $650 million at the global box office, making enough money at the box office. "Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part I)" has also accumulated $640 million at the box office, and it is still in theaters around the world, and it seems that it is not a problem for the global box office to exceed 700 million.

And this week, two new Hollywood films were released on a large scale, Sony's "Be a Girl for Life" and Universal's "Crooked Boy Scott", plus "Second-rate Police Detective", which performed well last week, to encircle and suppress "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". After three days of smokeless war, the results were in.

Universal's "Despicable Me", although it has been released for 6 weeks, still won a good score of 6.76 million US dollars, ranking fifth, and North America has accumulated 220 million US dollars so far, and the producer has released the news that "Despicable Me 2" has started production.

"Crooked Boy Scott", which is also produced by Universal, is not so lucky, with $8.79 million ranking fourth, which is seriously inconsistent with the situation expected by Universal, Universal's record this year can be said to be in addition to "Despicable Me", the whole army is wiped out, and the position of the Big Six is in jeopardy.

Sony's "Second-Rate Detective" and "Be a Girl All Your Life" are not bad, coming in third and second with $11 million and $18 million, respectively.

At the top of the list is still "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", which made persistent efforts for three days this weekend, achieving a super result of $75.6 million, and the ticket sales fell by less than 13%, which once again shocked the ground. While the total box office in North America has accumulated to 200 million US dollars, in Chinese mainland, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" won the weekly championship again with 125.6 million yuan, with a total box office of 265.8 million yuan.

In Japan, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is even more high-spirited, achieving a winning streak with 1.6 billion yen, which is also Shao Shuaijun's twenty-sixth title in Japan. The global box office is gratifying, and the total box office has reached a high of 405 million US dollars.

"The performance of the Planet of the Apes is disappointing, but the performance of the human figure is disappointing, and the film abandons the social politics of the original theme and replaces it with a warning about animal experimentation, human evil." - National Public Radio (United States).
