On October 30, 2008, Shao Shuaijun, who was learning to fly an airplane while writing a script, received a call from Li Xiuxiu. Forbes China released the 2008 Forbes China Rich List, and Shao Shuaijun became the richest man in China with 41.5 billion yuan. According to the Forbes Global Billionaires list released in March this year, Shao Shuaijun should be ranked 172nd in the world.

Compared with the Hurun Report, which is rooted in China, Forbes is a global authority, and the information it publishes has a global influence. When Hurun, a foreigner, came to China, it was also under the banner of Forbeste that he became a member of the Hurun Report, and then became an independent portal, and his global influence was certainly not as good as Forbes.

There is a big difference between the two lists, Shao Shuaijun on the Hurun Report list has 63 billion yuan, and Shao Shuaijun on the Forbes China Rich List has only 41.5 billion yuan. But no matter what, no one can erase the fact that Shao Shuaijun is the richest man.

As soon as Forbes' rich list was released, it immediately set off a huge impact around the world.

Among the two hundred richest people in the world, one is Shao Shuaijun!

A Chinese mainland, a young man only twenty-two years old, a self-made man, a world-renowned director. The aura of all this was completely ignited with the 2008 Forbes China Rich List. Especially in China, Shao Shuaijun is already the spiritual representative of the grassroots class.

If Shao Shuaijun is the second generation of rich, or the second generation of officials, everyone will definitely pout and scold the second ancestor.

But Shao Shuaijun's background is very clear, his parents are elementary school teachers. There has never been a celebrity in the ancestors, and there are no rich and powerful relatives. His success is all due to his struggle, making movies that are selling well all over the world, starting a company to get bigger and bigger, what could be more dreamy than this?

Today's parents educate their children, and they will say: "Look at Shao Shuaijun, he has such a great ability at a young age, what about you, if you don't work hard, you can only watch others succeed and drink the northwest wind yourself!" ”

In a word. Shao Shuai is armed. Not your average fire.

From the entertainment industry to the Internet and financial circles, the fire is very huge. Starting from Hurun, followed by Forbes, the announcement of the double list. Let everyone talk about Shao Shuaijun.

For example, the cooperation and partners of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest. Alibaba's Ma Yun said: "Shao Shuaijun is what I have seen." The most courageous and visionary people, we do the Internet, at least we know a little bit about the Internet. He doesn't even know what 'C++' is. But the time network he opened is already the largest Internet company in China, and it is one step ahead of others every time. ”

Penguin's twist vine also said: "Once we have almost unified the domestic instant messaging market, I don't know how Shao Shuaijun did it, but obviously, now Penguin is no longer the largest instant messaging software." But we will continue to work hard, the competition on the Internet is a marathon, and running one step ahead does not mean that we will always be ahead. ”

The Korean media was even more heartbroken and said: "Shao Shuaijun and his Dream Chasing Entertainment Group are robbers, DNF and CF belong to South Korea, but now they have started to use DNF and CF to make our money, and the Smile-Gate and Neople companies that developed these two games are sinners in South Korea!" ”

Wang Zhongjun of Huayi Brothers Media Group has repeatedly emphasized: "Shao Shuaijun is our shareholder, and we are very happy to cooperate with Dream Chasing Entertainment, and we also hold a part of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest's shares, which is a very successful investment and cooperation." Follow Shao Shuaijun, there is meat to eat! ”

Poly Bona's Yu Dong was more depressed, and the media turned over the old accounts, "Buried Alive" was not bought, "Inception" was not invested, and Yu Dong counterattacked after being ridiculed: "When everyone makes mistakes, if I hit every shot, I am the richest man now!" However, there is no gap between us and Shao Shuaijun, and we now have a lot of business cooperation. Dream Chasing Entertainment wants to build an entertainment industry chain, and we are also involved in it. ”

And Zhang Yimou, a famous director of the fifth generation, said: "In the face of Shao Shuaijun, the only thing I can do is that I have won more awards than him." But he is younger than me, and I dare not think about whether he conquered Hollywood and conquered the Oscars in a few years, and I hope he doesn't, otherwise I am really useless. ”

Zou Daheng, who has retired and enjoyed his old age in Hawaii, also appeared in the media: "I am very pleased to see that Dream Chasing Golden Harvest is getting stronger and stronger and has become a leading enterprise in the Chinese film industry. This was my most desired dream back then, and it could be realized in the hands of Shao Shuaijun, and I think there are two most correct decisions I have made in my life, one is to go to Hollywood with Bruce Lee, and the other is to hand over the company to Shao Shuaijun. ”

Li Xiuxiu's assistant Yang Ying, who now serves as the chief press officer of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, said in an interview with reporters: "Chairman Shao is very calm about becoming the richest man. For him, wealth is not the main pursuit, he always believes that his main business is directing. ”

Seeing that there was no more news about Shao Shuaijun from Yang Ying's mouth, the reporters began to turn to this beautiful press officer: "Ms. Yang Ying, you were an actor before, why did you suddenly change careers and enter the company and engage in workplace work?" ”

Yang Ying blinked her eyes widely: "Our chairman once wanted to direct "Twilight: Twilight", and he said that there was a role suitable for me, and after I went to the United States, the chairman suddenly gave up the directing plan, so I lost my job." The chairman didn't want to go, so he handed me over to the general manager, and then I became the assistant to the general manager. I enjoy my current job, without the pressure of the entertainment industry, 9 to 5, very relaxed. ”

News about Shao Shuaijun is very valuable, and gossip about his private life is even more valuable. One time Li Bingbing was asked: "What kind of person is Shao Shuaijun in private, some people say that he is arrogant in private, a hungry ghost, hangs in nightclubs, and often holds beauty pageant parties at home, isn't it?" ”

Li Bingbing was speechless: "It is difficult for Shao Shuaijun to see him in private, because he is always busy making movies, he is a very boring person, he doesn't bother to socialize, and he doesn't even want to go out." I think the most romantic thing he's ever done is to propose to my sister. When it comes to movies, he can talk about five days and five nights. If you talk to him about something big, he'll doze off right away. And in private, he is very unkempt, and his life is not tasteful, and he has to mix Sprite with red wine, and he can eat fried chicken thighs for five yuan a piece......"

So how did he become the richest man now? So successful in the entertainment industry and on the internet? ”

"I don't know much about business, and I don't pay much attention to how Shao Shuaijun manages the company. In my opinion, unlike any business owner, he is rarely involved in the running of the company. As you know, he spends most of his time making movies. may not be seen in the company for months. He is on the company. It should be more about guiding some way forward. ”

"What's the way forward?"

"It's that he will tell people what to do, just like CF and DNF, which are very popular right now, and after he found out, he asked the company's people to buy these two games. And then it became popular in China. And then he had a lot of great ideas. The Time Scarf was brought up by him. And time YY and so on. He doesn't care what the company does, he just tells them where they should go. Well, let's stop. Are you interviewing me or Shao Shuaijun, that's all I know! ”

……

In addition to telling Shao Shuaijun that he had become the richest man in China announced by Forbes, Li Xiuxiu also told him that Time magazine in the United States had sent him another invitation, hoping to interview him.

"Help me refuse, I'm going to keep a low profile now."

Shao Shuaijun responded very simply, with Hurun and Forbes, he was completely exposed on paper, which is not good, and people who are too flamboyant don't seem to have a good end. In the past, when Time magazine interviewed him, he would think it was an honor, but now it is so-so, and it is better that no one else knows him, so that he can make a fortune quietly.

He didn't give interviews, but Time magazine still featured him on the cover of this issue's Asian and American pages.

A large avatar with the caption: "Shao Shuaijun and his film kingdom." ”

Two years ago, Times interviewed Shao Shuaijun, a budding director in Hollywood with a thriving film company. Two years later, we once again focus on Shao Shuaijun, who is already a world-class director, and has become the richest man in China, a world-class richest man. ”

Shao Shuaijun's wealth comes from the company's listing and the marketing income of the film...... As a director who has been in the industry for five years, Shao Shuaijun's success is world-watching, and after four years of company operation, Shao Shuaijun's brilliance is undoubtedly huge. Along with the various business directions of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, we can see that Shao Shuaijun is creating a film kingdom that belongs to him. ”

"I still remember that on the cover two years ago, we used 'Shao Shuaijun, and his young film kingdom' as the slogan. And now his film kingdom is no longer young and young, but has become a huge, full of vitality and energy, a real kingdom. ”

"This young man, weaving dreams with his talent, when he picks up the director's microphone, he is the master of the world. Starting with one person's "Buried Alive", he spent five years making eight movies. Worldwide, the box office exceeds 100 million US dollars, including "Source Code", "Painted Skin", "Inception" and "500 Days with Shamo", of which "Inception" has become one of the top 20 films in the world with 922.5 million US dollars, and it is also his representative work of becoming a world-renowned director. ”

He once said that he made movies to dream with more people and share those dreams that belonged to him. Business aside, he has indeed influenced many people and spread his dreams around the world. As the youngest big director in Hollywood, he is the representative of the American dream and the Chinese dream, and he has influenced a generation of young people to work hard for their dreams. ”

"When many young people are asked about idols, they are not those handsome men and women on the big screen or small screen, but the Shao Shuaijun who is behind the scenes. We can still see him in Source Code, but now he is becoming more and more low-key and more comfortable as a king. He began to accept the worship of his subjects, and to be the most authoritative one in his kingdom. ”

"Whether it is chasing dreams of Golden Harvest or pinnacle entertainment, he is changing the film situation of the two big countries in an alternative way. In the era of the decline of Hollywood's eight major studios, Summit Entertainment is the independent production company with the best chance of being among them. Since the opening of China's film market, Dream Harvest is the first listed entertainment company in mainland China, and the first private enterprise to surpass state-owned enterprises to become a leader in the entertainment industry. ”

"Behind his success is China's increasingly open policy, and it is also a hero created by current events. The open entertainment industry has given him the soil to take root, and his natural talent is his wings. It's hard to imagine that four years ago he was just a trickster in a film and television city in China, dropping out of school and living in poverty, often lying on icy ground for hours on a snowy day for a salary of less than 50 yuan a day, or less than $7. ”

At that time, Shao Shuaijun would never have imagined that one day, he would stand on the world's most shining stage and accept everyone's worship. But at that time, the young Shao Shuaijun definitely gritted his teeth and was waiting for an opportunity to soar. Since Shao Shuaijun rarely mentions his private life, we don't know what forces supported him to be self-taught and embark on the path of directing. ”

However, we know that setbacks gave him a fortune, and he used it to earn his own film kingdom. And it's even harder to avoid a question, he's only twenty-two years old. Also aged, Bill. Gates also relied on his mother's support to maintain the young Microsoft! ”

"He is the most outstanding person of this era!"

"Time Magazine" gave Shao Shuaijun the highest respect, almost calling Shao Shuaijun the next Bill. Gates. and Bill. Unlike Gates's mother, who has an IBM director, Shao Shuaijun is more grassroots and can better represent something called "dreams", whether it is the United States or China, it is this kind of dream that makes mankind forge ahead.

Under the influence of Time Magazine, Hurun Report, and Forbes China's Rich List, Shao Shuaijun's film "500 Days with Shamo" was perfectly painted with $320 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing small-budget literary film of the year, surpassing the $230 million of "Juno" and becoming another miracle of small-budget literary films.

Paired with the high box office, the reputation of the movie is also high, with a score of 8.3 on IMDB and 8.2 on Time.com, which can be said to be a great success, and many people call it the pinnacle of pure love movies. Influenced by this trend, coupled with the power of "Inception", the two leading actors Joseph. Gordon. Levitt and Scarlett. Johnson has become a Hollywood superstar.

Some media have called Scarlett the brightest rising star in Hollywood, with a perfect body and appearance, and her prospects are far better than those of Alan in "Juno". Peggy is even more brilliant. And Joseph is known as the new king of Hollywood, when he was ranked in "Inception" by Jack. Behind Harren Hill, it's basically the same name now.

Shao Shuaijun's reputation as a great director is also more consolidated.

You can't be called a big director if you don't direct a blockbuster, at least "Harry. The directors of "Potter" and the two directors of "Twilight" have not won the name of the world's great directors, and the real big directors are either purely commercial box office or can control various types of films.

For example, James. Cameron, George. Lucas burns all the box office, and Spielberg can control all kinds of movies.

Now, Shao Shuaijun can be said to have become a big director like Spielberg. The difference is that there are few masterpieces, and then there are few awards...... Time will fill it all. (To be continued......)
