Li Xiuxiu's belly is getting bigger day by day, Xiao Shao is already moving in his stomach, and now Shao Shuaijun's favorite thing to do is to listen to Xiao Shao's movements with his belly. Every movement on his belly made him, an uncle in his thirties, who was mentally in his thirties, couldn't help but be happy and laugh happily for a day.
Now that Li Xiuxiu has completely left her job and is raising her baby with peace of mind, for the young couple, there is nothing more precious in the world than Shao Qikai, who is about to be born. Li Xiuxiu's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the whole villa is becoming more and more lively day by day, and the old and young of the two families naturally have to work nervously.
The executives and artists under Dream Chasing Entertainment are also busy like a battle. There's no way, the big boss thing, for them, is the top priority, if you don't dedicate yourself to it at this time, when will you have to wait.
Compared with the harvest of a small family, the company's harvest is also huge.

But it is getting better and better, and there is a positive upward momentum.
is different from the small fights such as the Youth Dao League and the Qingfeng Dao, this year, Dream Chasing Golden Harvest has produced a number of box office bombs in a row.
In March, "Beijing Meets Seattle" was released, which is the work of Xue Xiaolu, a screenwriter under the Dream Chasing Culture Agency, she has written many movies and TV series, and in 2009, she turned to director and filmed "Ocean of Love", which received 80 million box office, and this year made persistent efforts to shoot "Beijing Meets Seattle", which received 480 million yuan at the box office. It has become a domestic film second only to "Old Boy" with 800 million yuan.
"Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grandmaster" was released in April. This is a cooperation plan between Dream Chasing Jiahe and Real Bullet under the proposal of Shao Shuaijun. In 2008, he invited Ye Weixin to direct and star in the kung fu blockbuster "Ip Man", which almost broke 100 million at the mainland box office, and the overseas results were very good. This year. "Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grandmaster", which is also directed by Ye Weixin and starring Real Bullet, got a good box office of 230 million yuan in the mainland. More than 320 million RMB worldwide.
"Eavesdropping 2" was released in May. This is another cooperation plan proposed by Shao Shuaijun back then. In 2008, Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang were invited to co-direct "Eavesdropping", which won 90 million box office in the mainland, and a total of 120 million yuan overseas. This year, Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang teamed up again. filmed "Eavesdropping 2" and received 260 million yuan at the box office.
In June, "Searching" was released, and the film was adapted from the book "Please Forgive Me" by Wen Yu, the author of the Time Fiction website. From the very beginning, Time Novel was built as a content provision website, supported by Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, and all the income from subscriptions belonged to the author, attracting a large number of talented authors to reside on the site, and many best-selling novels have been adapted into movies and TV series by Dream Chasing Golden Harvest. After "Please Forgive Me" was adapted into a movie script by the screenwriting department of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, Chen Kaige was invited to direct, and the final result was 180 million box office, which is not bad.
In July, "To Our Dying Youth" was released, and Shao Shuaijun bought Xin Yiwu's original novel that year, which has always been in his hands. Later, Zhao Wei's original artist contract expired, and he was sloppily and vigorously poached to chase dreams, and at the same time went to Nortel's directing department for further study, Shao Shuaijun handed over the novel to Zhao Wei.
So there is this year's movie, because it was three years ahead of schedule, the box office of "To Youth" only got 630 million yuan, less than the original trajectory of 720 million, but it still successfully squeezed out Xue Xiaolu's "Beijing Meets Seattle" and became the second domestic film after "Old Boy".
And in September, it has been confirmed that "The Wind Rises Again" will be released. In 2009, Dream Chasing Golden Harvest produced "The Wind", which was co-directed by Gao Qunshu and Chen Guofu, and Shao Shuaijun bought the copyright and handed it over to the screenwriting department for adaptation, which received 225 million box office. This year, Gao Qunshu independently directed the sequel "The Wind Rises Again".
In October, it was confirmed that "The Wind is Coming", which is a prequel to "The Wind", directed independently by Chen Guofu. In fact, after "The Wind", the two directors had a disagreement and no longer co-directed, so Dream Chase Golden Harvest decided to shoot a prequel and a sequel at the same time.
In November, it was decided to release the annual highlight of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest "Painted Skin 2", which is the sequel to "Painted Skin" after 3 years, directed by Wu Ershan, Shao Shuaijun also participated in part of the screenwriting work, and repaired the bad places in his memory of "Painted Skin 2". Because this sequel will not only be released in the mainland, but the global schedule is well arranged, including the arrival in the United States in December, a little change must be made to cater to international tastes.
It is planned to be released in December, investing in "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Jiang Wen, who is now also a contracted director of Dream Chasing Culture Agency. Basically, Chinese mainland and Hong Kong are the world of dream chasing entertainment, and Ma Hu and Wang Jinhua, two brothers and sisters in the broker industry, have joined forces to almost monopolize the brokerage business.
It can be said that Summit Entertainment's annual film schedule will dominate Hollywood, and Dream Chasing Golden Harvest's mainland film schedule is also destined to dominate the Chinese film circle. In the past few years after its listing, it has successively acquired a number of small film companies, TV drama production companies, and program production companies, and has truly become an entertainment giant in the mainland.
If China Film Group were not for the control of the import rights of Hollywood blockbusters, it would be the dream of Golden Harvest in the mainland film market. After all. With the support of Summit Entertainment, Dream Chasing Golden Harvest's ability to distribute blockbusters is no worse than that of China Film Group.

With the addition of "Slumdog Millionaire", Dream Chase has quickly become a popular film company among Indian audiences.
The mayor of Mumbai, who has an interest in it, even said to the outside world that bringing Dream Entertainment to invest in Mumbai is the most outstanding investment attraction he has done in the position of mayor of Mumbai.
Now, Dream Chasing South Asia also has "RA. One", "Endless Love" and "Three Fools in Bollywood" three film plans, plus the first three, are the six Indian films that Shao Shuaijun knows, and after these six films, the company needs its own vision.

Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, Summit Entertainment, Marvel Comics, Dream Chasing South Asia, Dream Chasing Games, Time.com, Obvious Company, the six pillar subsidiaries of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, have taken shape, and the huge entertainment kingdom is rising strongly.
"This year's entertainment industry can already be named 'Dream Chasing Year' in advance!" While reporting on "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Time Magazine" also introduced the overall movie release of Dream Chasing Entertainment by the way, and finally ended with such a sentence.
The world can no longer stop Shao Shuaijun.
From August 20th to August 22nd, the third weekend of Rise of the Planet of the Apes ends. Basically, from this week, the summer season has been announced to be over, and in this last train, five medium-scale movies have been released in succession this week.
Miramax Films' "Sowing Love" ranked eighth with $8.1 million, and since the release of "Painted Skin", Miramax Films has been getting worse day by day, rapidly falling from a first-class Hollywood company to a third-rate Hollywood company.
Universal's other production "Magic Nanny 2", ranked seventh with $8.3 million, as a sequel, the opening score is less than $10 million, you can imagine Universal's depression, this year is really the saddest year for Universal.
Weinstein's "Piranha 3D" came in sixth, and the response was pretty good, with $10 million to ensure a return on investment. "Second-Rate Detective," which was released for three weeks, was fifth at $11 million, Warner's new "Lotto" was fourth at $11.12 million, and last week's "Be a Girl for Life" was third at $12 million.
In second place this week is Twentieth Century Fox's comedy film "The Twilight Movie" as a parody of "The Twilight Zone".
This movie not only contains the plot of the world-famous "Twilight", but also the plot related to "Alice in Wonderland", Lady-Gaga and the American drama "Jersey Beach". It's a pity that Twentieth Century Fox wanted to make a fortune with the hype of "Twilight", but the audience didn't buy it, and it was released in 3,774 theaters in North America and only got $12 million. It proves that stir-frying other people's leftovers is not always full of aroma.
At the top of this week's list is the three-time champion "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", with $37.6 million, which makes the last train of this summer file more calm. So far, the total box office of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in North America has reached $250 million, which is much more than experts expected.
In the mainland, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" finally gave up the championship and ranked second with 52.3 million yuan, and the champion was Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake". However, this week, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" still got a box office of 100 million outside North America, with a total global box office of 540 million US dollars, and it is almost certain that it will surpass the 613 million US dollars of "Teddy Bear" and become Shao Shuaijun's second highest-grossing film.
