In order to shoot the scene in the bathtub, it took a whole day and a night. The camera is no longer in focus, the actor's expression is not in place again, the expression is in place, and the angle is problematic again. In short, this scene is far more difficult to shoot than imagined, and Lan Yan, who was still in the mood to hook up with Shao Shuaijun, finally lost the strength to raise his eyes.

It is conceivable that the filming at the beginning stage is indeed fragrant and exciting, but with more such situations, Fengyue films are no different from ordinary movies.

Shao Shuaijun still holds a book, and when he has time, he comes to the crew to take a look, or flies back and forth between Hong Kong and the United States, cares about the company's affairs, and gathers with old friends.

The day is August 1st, and the pace of the Olympic Games is getting closer and closer.

Shao Shuaijun was trying to start writing the script for The Hunger Games when his assistant Zhang Huahua came in and said, "Boss, you have been approached by a director from the UK who wants to buy the rights to the film adaptation of your Q&A novel. ”

"Q&A" is written by Indian writer Vikas. Svalup's debut film, published in 05, was purchased by Shao Shuaijun in 06. The novel tells the story of Rama, an uneducated 18-year-old waiter who lives in a slum. Mohammed. Thomas's life.

Rama participated in a popular TV puzzle show, Who Will Be a Millionaire? , who answered 12 questions correctly and received a prize of up to Rs 1 billion, becoming the winner of the biggest prize in the show's history. The television production company accused Rama of cheating because he couldn't pay the huge prize money because of a man who never went to school. Even slum youth, who never read a newspaper and never had an education, would never know the answers to these twelve questions about astronomy, religion, history, sports, literature, etc.

Just as the police were about to force Rama to sign a confession, a mysterious female lawyer, Smitta. Sha appears and rescues him, and he needs Rama to tell the truth in order to defend him, so Rama tells his story......

Shao Shuaijun closed the script and asked, "Which director?" ”

"His name is Danny. Boyle, a British director, is the director of a very famous film "Shallow Grave". ”

Shao Shuaijun understood, nodded and said, "Please ask him to come over and talk." ”

Soon, Danny. Boyle was brought by Zhang Huahua to Shao Shuaijun's office in Dream Chasing Jiahe. He is a middle-aged man with a round head. Speaking in a fluent London accent: "Director Shao, I'm very happy to meet you, I'm Danny. Boyle, a director from England. "Inception" is so wonderful. You are an amazing director! ”

"Hello Director Danny. Thank you for the compliment, you are here to buy the rights to the Q&A movie? Shao Shuaijun motioned for the other party to sit down and speak.

"Yes, my friend recommended this novel to me. He told me that it would be very interesting if the novel was adapted into a movie. When I knew that the original electronic music copyright had been purchased by Director Shao and had not started filming for a long time, I came over in person, hoping to buy it. ”

Shao Shuaijun shook his head: "I'm sorry Danny, "Q&A" is a film copyright that I value very much, and I originally planned to direct the movie myself when I have a schedule. It's just that I have too much work and I'm not very familiar with India, so I'm delayed like this, and I won't sell the rights to the film. ”

After 06 years, the shelf for chasing dreams has been erected, and Shao Shuaijun specially asked people to go to India and buy the film and television rights of two novels. One is "Q&A" and the other is "Five Point People". If these two names are very strange, then the movies they are adapted into will definitely be very famous in the future.

The movie adapted from "Five Point Man" is called "Three Fools in Bollywood", and the movie adapted from "Q&A" is called "Slumdog Millionaire". At the press conference of "IMAX-3D Jade Pu Tuan" that day, a reporter asked Shao Shuaijun why he switched from Hollywood to Hong Kong, and Shao Shuaijun replied that as long as it is suitable, he is willing to make movies anywhere, including Bollywood in India, Thailand and other places.

In fact, at that time, Shao Shuaijun had a plan to find time to go to India to make movies. It's just because I heard that India is too chaotic, and there are many other plans, and the copyright can be bought, Shao Shuaijun didn't plan to start filming immediately, and it has been delayed so far. Whether it is a fool or a rich man, it is an excellent movie of Bollywood that has hit the world, and it has made a lot of money at the box office and word of mouth, and Shao Shuaijun is reluctant to sell it casually.

Even if he remembers, Danny. Boyle is the director of the original film, and he will not sell the rights.

"Director Shao, can't you really be accommodating? You are so busy now, you don't care about these two movies, I really like "Q&A", I hope Director Shao can cut love, I am willing to pay a high price. ”

Shao Shuaijun still shook his head: "I won't sell it." ”

"Is there really no possibility?"

"Nope."

"Oh my God, that's tragic news." Danny. Boyle said bitterly. After pleading to no avail, Danny had no choice but to turn around and take his leave.

At this time, Shao Shuaijun suddenly called Danny to stop: "Director Danny, please wait a minute." Do you really like this movie very much? ”

Danny was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, I like it very much, what do you mean?" ”

"I was going to shoot it myself, but I don't think I'm as passionate about this novel as Danny is directing you. So, we can change the way of cooperation, I will invest in this film, and director Danny can come up with an adapted script first, and if I am satisfied, I will say that the film will be directed by you, how about it? Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.

"Slumdog Millionaire" has a good reputation and box office, and I remember that it seems to have won 8 awards at the Oscars, including two heavyweight awards: Best Picture and Best Director. But there is a regrettable problem that the film has received serious boycotts from India, and it is suspected of insulting India, which is very controversial.

India is so chaotic, Shao Shuaijun has plans to start a film branch in Bollywood, and there will be many blockbuster Indian movies in the future. If he directs and has a bad reputation, he thinks about it for a while, so it's better to restore history and let Danny. Boyle should bear the fame and the scolding, and he will take the advantage later.

Danny. Boyle was overjoyed. Immediately said: "I'm going to adapt the script, I'm going to live in Hong Kong, and I'm trying to write the script within a week!" ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, I will provide you with accommodation in Hong Kong, you write slowly, and keep it for you for a month, how about it."

"Okay."

Give "Slumdog Millionaire" to Danny like that. Boyle, Shao Shuaijun is also a little reluctant, this is a real movie that can win awards. Shao Shuaijun has been mixed for so many years before he won a Saturn Award for Best Director. The desire for awards. I was already hungry and thirsty.

Fortunately, he can comfort himself, relying on the movies in his memory, and he is not practical when he wins the award. really used his own skills to make a good movie and win awards. That's what it's called ability. It's very obscene. Shao Shuaijun has decided. Even if you give the movie to Danny. Boyle, the producer he will also personally serve, then. Once he wins the Oscar for Best Picture, he can still go up and show his face and say a few pretentious words.

……

At 19 o'clock on August 8, 2008, the 29th Summer Olympic Games opened at the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing. Shao Shuaijun and a large group of relatives and friends were watching from the VIP seat, and his family and Li Xiuxiu's family were all together, chatting lively.

"There are too many people here today, hurry up and take pictures." Li Xiuxiu clapped her hands and said.

Shao Shuaijun held a DSLR camera and said, "You have your back to the stadium and let the whole stadium make the background for you." ”

Click, click, Shao Shuaijun immediately captured Li Xiuxiu's laughing smile into the camera. He's a director, but he's also worked as a photographer, so it's just a matter of taking pictures.

"I'll take a few pictures of you." After Li Xiuxiu finished filming, he and Shao Shuaijun changed seats.

Shao Shuaijun posed in various poses for the camera and took a few photos to his heart's content. At this time, Li Bingbing came over and shouted: "You guys are playing selfies, come, I'll take pictures of you, and you take a few group photos." ”

"Sister, you shoot better, don't make me look bad."

"Don't worry, if you make the army ugly, you will also be photographed beautifully."

"Hey, Sister Bing, you can't be partial, I want to be handsome."

In the hip-hop, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu put their arms around their shoulders and compared each other's old-school triumphant gestures. Then he changed his posture again, and finally Shao Shuaijun simply kissed Li Xiuxiu's face, and the SLR camera firmly locked this happy and happy moment.

"Oh, why are you not ashamed, what are you doing in public." Li Xiuxiu said with a blushing face. The VIP seat is also lively, but in fact, not many people pay attention to the two of them.

Li Bingbing teased: "Junzi is estimated to have been affected by salty wet tablets, and his skin has thickened. ”

"He's always been so cheeky!" Li Xiuxiu hurriedly ran over and stood with Li Bingbing and attacked Shao Shuaijun.

Shao Shuaijun blew and looked like a hanger: "Men are not bad and women are not loved, understand?" ”

At this time, Shao Shuaijun's mother shouted in the back: "You guys, what are you doing, come here and do a good job, don't you see that the leaders are coming!" As the time approached 20 o'clock, the leaders also arrived one by one and were waving around.

Soon, the time for the opening ceremony came, and the lights went out.

Then, on the top of the large screens around the stadium, the fireworks circled around the stadium like a fire dragon. Then the sundial, which symbolizes time on the big screen, slowly appears, and then becomes larger and brighter, and suddenly emits a fireworks symbolizing the light of time, shooting into the center of the stadium.

The 2008 Noodle (percussion instruments), which had been waiting for a long time, formed a reel and began to perform. When 20 o'clock was approaching, the countdown began to appear in the array, and the audience shouted along, Shao Shuaijun, Li Xiuxiu and others, also shouted: "Ten, nine, eight, seven...... Three, two, one! ”

When the countdown is completed, at the top of the ring of the bird's nest, countless fireworks rise into the sky, and the brilliance is incomparable. Then there was another show, and then on the big screen of the Bird's Nest, accompanied by the ringing of the bell, the fireworks placed in the capital formed a huge footprint, like a giant walking in the sky, step by step to the Bird's Nest.

In the brilliant fireworks show, the performances of the opening ceremony were more exciting than the other.

The opening ceremony of this Olympic Games is undoubtedly the most splendid in the world, and everything that Zhang Yimou painstakingly rehearsed has perfectly displayed China in front of the world.

Shao Shuaijun shook his fan, fanned himself and Li Xiuxiu, and said: "Wife, I bet that in this year's Olympic Games, China will win the first gold medal, believe it or not?" ”

"Who is your wife, my parents, your parents, and my sister are all here, making jokes." Li Xiuxiu pinched Shao Shuaijun's arm.

Shao Shuaijun laughed, hugged Li Xiuxiu, and said in her ear: "What's a good joke, we have met our parents seriously, which was legal in ancient times, but it was just a marriage contract." By the way, wife, after the Olympics, let's get married, I have already planned the marriage proposal ceremony you requested. ”

Li Xiuxiu stopped watching the show, turned her head and asked in a low voice: "It's really fake, is it so fast?" ”

"Of course it's true, you think I shoot salty and wet films every day, but in fact, I am planning marriage proposals and weddings under the guise of being a producer."

"How was it planned?"

"There will be no surprises when you say it, anyway, you should be ready for the bride and push everything you can to push the company's affairs out. Let's wait to become the second happiest person in the world. ”

"How is second happiness?" Li Xiuxiu asked sweetly.

Shao Shuaijun said a heartfelt sentence: "Because of you, I am the happiest person in the world." ”

"Dead look, mouth so sweet."

"Hehe, of course."

At this time, Li Bingbing stretched out his head again: "Hey, what did you two say, biting your ears so hard?" ”

"Hey sister, don't attack so suddenly, okay, we're talking about work."

"Even your sister dares to fool her, right, begging for a beating."

"Ahh

Li Xiuxiu and Li Bingbing had a quarrel, regardless of whether the weather was hot or not. Shao Shuaijun couldn't interject, so he had to go and talk to the elder sister: "Sister, when are you looking for a partner, the boss is not small, don't be unable to marry." ”

"Go and go, worry about yourself, you dare to worry about my sister's affairs!" Shao Xiaoling shouted. In her previous life, Shao Xiaoling naturally got married before Shao Shuaijun, started a family, and opened her own accounting firm. However, Shao Shuaijun had a bad impression of his brother-in-law, and always felt that his brother-in-law was a kind-hearted and dark-hearted person, and he was a little lustful.

In this life, Shao Xiaoling's life trajectory is different, and she has never met that brother-in-law again, so naturally, she will not come together. Shao Shuaijun would not be stupid enough to find his original brother-in-law and promote them. Seeing that he was about to get married, and his sister was still single, Shao Shuaijun began to worry about it.

It's a pity that the old lady is not very cooperative.

Look at the show, talk and laugh, the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games ended in singing. Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu returned to the Dream Chasing Apartment with their parents. For this Olympic Games, the four parents have decided to arrange accommodation in the Dream Chase Apartment, so that they can watch the Olympic Games.

When I arrived at the Dream Chasing Apartment, it was still early, and they were all crowded into Shao Shuaijun's house, talking about homely things.

After chatting for a while, my father shouted: "Junzi, you come with Xiuxiu." I ask you, before you said that you were going to get married in the summer. The event of a major earthquake has been postponed, and now it's time to discuss it. There are still rural rules in this countryside, when do you give a salute, you have to hold a few tables of banquets, and invite Xiuxiu's relatives over there to have a casual drink. What do you think? ”

"Uncle, it's too troublesome, isn't it?" Li Xiuxiu said embarrassedly.

Dad Zhengse said: "What's so troublesome about this, let's handle it, you just come out and toast." (To be continued......)
