The interview continued, and Shen Bing asked: "In this anti-piracy, "Painted Skin" has been greatly impacted, how did you prevent such a big accident?" ”
Shao Shuaijun's face was a little serious: "Because we know piracy, when you only need to wash a copy, as long as you send it down, as long as you have a large amount, or as long as you screen a lot of times, you can't control it." There are too many people and departments who have access to this copy. So this time it's very simple, in post-production, we wait for the special effects to be completed and then edit, and then wash the copy. The strange thing is that I haven't finished cutting or washing out the copies, and the pirated copies come out, using discarded copies and shots. ”
"Abandoned?"
"Yes, our crew's control over piracy is very strict, no worse than bank insurance. Except for our director team, no one can touch the copy, and all our work materials are dismantled, and they are dismantled when they are used up, and they are not formed. The recording and soundtrack were all done in front of me, and I handed them in as soon as I was done. Of course, sometimes you can't watch someone else busy all night, what should we do at this time, we give him the material, this videotape, but you have to write life and death documents, and you have a mark on this videotape, and if we see this mark on the pirated copy, it is you who flowed out. ”
"What kind of punishment will he receive?"
"Legal and financial responsibility. So you think, of course he will not let go of this thing easily, he still has to keep his eyes on this, don't let others take it. ”
"Do you keep doing this?"
"If you're talking about movie piracy, we're doing a good job. In fact, "Painted Skin" was originally planned to be performed in Beijing for a week. However, according to Wang Zhonglei, after receiving the news, the pirate dealers in the capital had already placed orders, and the pirate dealers in Southeast Asia had also come to inquire about piracy, and the pirate dealers in the capital said that as long as they performed a public performance, they would guarantee that they would get the goods within three days. So at that time, the staff was in the Wanda CBD store, scanning around with a detector, and was quite nervous. But in the end, it was decided not to perform. Let "Painted Skin" speak by word of mouth when it is released. ”
"So that's it, as of yesterday's release, or not?"
"Of course not, that fake movie has already killed us, and there must be real piracy. Then this time it was ironclad. Before you come. I also spoke to Wang Zhonglei on the phone. He deliberately asked his friends in the industry to find pirates, brought all the money, and asked them if they had any goods? They said they were sorry. I didn't get it this time. So, I don't believe that there is really piracy today. ”
"So in the past few movies you've made, have you ever been in such a situation?"
Shao Shuaijun smiled: "It's very interesting that I sold the copyright directly when I filmed "Buried Alive", and the pirates probably haven't heard of it." Filming "Crazy Stone", I was just a newcomer, and no one cared. When it came to "Source Code", it was basically Huayi Brothers who were in charge, and they had this experience. Later, I started my own company, invested in filming, and released it after it was made, I don't press the schedule, you are like "33 Days of Broken Love", more than a week before the release, I just finished filming, and I can't catch up with the release, where can pirate dealers get pirated copies. ”
"Do you think it's luck, or is it a coping strategy?"
"Luck, with the development of the film industry, you can't just release it whenever you want, sooner or later, you have to face the problem of piracy. Of course, if we can persist and cooperate with all departments, we may be able to maintain piracy-free for a long time. One day, there will be no piracy at all in our country like Japan, and there will be no piracy for a movie for a year, which is the gospel of Chinese films. ”
“…… Okay, thank you Director Shao for accepting our interview, I think it's okay, Xiao Song turned off. Shen Bing saw that the topic was almost over, so he stopped and shook hands with Shao Shuaijun, "Director Shao, we may broadcast it in a few days, and we will notify you when the time comes, so we won't disturb your rest, we have to rush back to China." ”
"In such a hurry? It's never too late to take a day off and then go, right? ”
"There's no way, I'm in a hurry."
……
When people are busy, time seems to be riding a roller coaster, whistling by.
Shao Shuaijun feels this way.
After the interview with "Economic Half Hour", he participated in the final negotiations with Summit Entertainment. Bruce has already been told that the company's new film "Dance Out of My Life" has cost too much investment, and it is no longer possible to come up with money for publicity.
Dream Entertainment acquired Summit Entertainment for $28 million, promising to help promote the new film, while not firing the company's employees, and giving Mitchell . Bruce's 20% stake keeps him as the boss.
In the end, the tug-of-war was loyal, and Dream Entertainment made a concession and gave Mitchell a 23% stake.
"Happy working together, Mitchell." After Shao Shuaijun signed the contract, he shook Mitchell's hand with a smile.
Mitchell also smiled brightly: "Happy cooperation, boss." ”
"Haha, you are the boss of Summit Entertainment, and I am just an investor." Shao Shuaijun was in a good mood, this acquisition cost 28 million on the surface, but in fact, Shao Shuaijun not only did not spend but even earned. Because no one knows better than him how profitable the movie "Dance Out of My Life" is.
Shao Shuaijun can't remember the specific box office of the movie, and the simple "Dance Out of My Life" may not make much money, but this movie has released several sequels one after another, each of which has broken 100 million US dollars at the global box office. Another old hen laying eggs!
Mitchell is satisfied that the company has been funded, and his position is still the boss, and the film has been funded to publicize. Shao Shuaijun was satisfied with the shell of Summit Entertainment and got another egg-laying hen. The two laughed on the spot called a joy, and the arc of the corners of their mouths was like the box office of "Painted Skin", rising all the way.
In the mainland, the painted skin was released on Sunday on the 7th, and the number of films was once again criticized for winning 41%, with a box office of 30 million on the first day, refreshing the first-day and single-day box office records set by "33 Days of Broken Love".
Sunday, 30 million, Monday, 20.2 million, Tuesday, 19.8 million, Wednesday, 20.1 million, Thursday, 19.9 million. The total box office successfully exceeded 100 million in five days, reaching 110 million. Although it did not surpass the five-day record of "33 Days of Broken Love", the broken love includes Saturday and Sunday, and "Painted Skin" has only one Sunday.
On Friday, 22.3 million, on Saturday, 27.2 million, the box office accumulated to 159.5 million, refreshing the record of "33 Days of Broken Love".
"Where there is Shao Shuaijun, there is a crazy miracle! He's not a commercial director, he's a box office director! He is the king of China! He is the king of the future world! ”
The new wolf entertainment section did not hesitate to tout. (To be continued......)
