0070 【About Dreams】
"Sister Xiuxiu, how do you think the company should be run?" Shao Shuaijun felt that he was not a qualified reborn person, and decided to refer to the advice of professionals.
Li Xiuxiu drank coffee leisurely: "It depends on how you treat your career, to be honest, being a manager likes a boss like you the most." I feel like I have no ambitions, I just want to make movies, I have no ambitions other than movies, I don't have any requirements for the studio, and I don't have any requirements for my fame. ”
"Am I so frustrated?"
"Yes!"
Li Xiuxiu said with certainty: "In fact, these qualities may be very happy in ordinary people, but don't forget that you are in the entertainment industry now." I followed my sister and saw more of the dark side of the entertainment industry. Do you know why my sister wants to break away from Huayi Brothers? Not only my sister, but Fan Bingbing and Zhou Xun both had this idea. ”
"I think that's why you can be your own boss by opening your own company."
"It's just on the surface. In fact, being a boss is very bitter, I told my sister that an artist wants to fly solo, without the protection of a large company, the scene to deal with will be much more complicated, and it will take ten times the effort to work hard. But they still have to study and go out, and a big reason for this is to be free. ”
"Freedom?"
"Yes, don't look at my sister, they are now big stars, beautiful scenery, in fact, they are not a money-making tool of the company. Today you will be asked to attend a drinking party, tomorrow you will be asked to attend an event, and the day after tomorrow will help you take over a TV series. As long as you can make money, who cares if you are an artist or not? If you listen to the company and help the company make a lot of money, then, the company is a grandson in front of you. Once you are disobedient, the company will ban you at any time, hide it, or desperately call you before your contract expires. There are many such examples! ”
Li Xiuxiu looked at Shao Shuaijun and said very seriously, "Ah Jun, we have been working together for more than half a year, and I know that you are a very pure person, and you have nothing in your eyes except movies." It's not right for you to do this, don't look at you are very prosperous now, helping everyone make a lot of money, you don't have your own career foundation, you are the same as my sisters, you have to be manipulated by others. Huayi Brothers is good to you now because you helped them make money, once you have a conflict with them one day, they will still envelop you like this? Think about it, once Huayi Brothers is behind you, what will you do? ”
"It's a big deal to change companies to cooperate, but this is unrealistic, I am also a shareholder of Huayi Brothers."
"Can you not mention the 5% shares, do you have any decision-making power? Let me ask you, if Huayi Brothers blocks you, cuts off your distribution channels, does not provide you with artists to act, or even embarrass you when the Film Bureau reviews you, or bullies you by the United Cinema Company, what will you do? ”
"It's so mysterious, isn't this all a shadowless thing."
Li Xiuxiu stomped her feet angrily: "You, you, you have a little foresight, okay, there is no banquet in the world, unless you work for the second king for the rest of your life, there will be a contradiction sooner or later." Look at your studio, except for making movies and investing in movies, you don't do anything, you don't have the ability to resist risks at all, you invited me over, what else do you want to do except let me do some trivial things? Now, I want to set up a separate company for a book...... Ah Jun, give me a complete idea, OK? If you don't care about the future, I'll commute to work honestly, if you want the studio and the company to grow, give me a direction, don't let me be like a headless fly, okay? ”
This tone is quite sad about his misfortune and angry with him, and he said that Shao Shuaijun is self-ashamed. When I invited Li Xiuxiu to come over, wasn't it just to strengthen the studio and get rid of the constraints of others. As a result, as soon as the seven things came out, Shao Shuaijun forgot about it, and he still hasn't made it clear how the studio is developing.
Coming out of the café and walking on the streets of Phoenix, Shao Shuaijun is still thinking about what kind of life he wants to live. God has given him a precious opportunity to do it again, where should he go in order to live in vain?
In the United States in April, the air was still floating in the cold left over from winter, and Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but shrink her neck and wrap her coat tighter.
Shao Shuaijun put his hands in his pockets and walked unhurriedly.
It took a long time before he spoke.
"Actually, I also thought about setting up my own company, monopolizing investment, production, brokerage, distribution, publicity, and even monopolizing cinema companies. But Sister Xiuxiu, you also know that our national conditions in China are different from those of other countries, the idea of official standards prevails, and the relationship between people is intertwined. Now, I am very satisfied to be able to make a movie, make a small investment, and even go to a foreign country to get some money, and to be able to live the life I want and be a director. ”
As he spoke, Shao pointed to a billboard in a building with a movie poster. The poster shows a man running, not a road, but a pile of countless photos, and countless photos floating in the sky. It is the poster of "Source Code", the man is Shao Shuaijun, and each photo represents a world and a scene, implying traveling through countless worlds.
"You see, the movie I'm making now has landed in the United States. My dream in my heart is to make movies and keep doing it. I'm taking these inspirations now, and one day I'm going to create my own inspiration to make more and more good movies, so that countless people can wander in my film world...... It's the life I want to live.
You know, James Cameron, the king of the world, is my idol, he has a weird and short-tempered temper that makes it difficult for others to get along with? He once opened the digital domain, one of the big four special effects companies, and then ah, he was kicked out of his partner. He was married five times, and his wife couldn't stand him and divorced him again, until he married the current one.
Leaving the movie, he has never been a successful person, even in the film industry, he may not be successful. He likes to burn money too much, and he ignores a movie if it is not measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. Therefore, many people are shy away from him. After "Titanic", I haven't received a movie for several years.
But he once said, I'm happy.
You know, I especially admire this kind of life, I don't have to care about other people's eyes, concentrate on making my own things, weaving dreams. Life, just be happy, you don't have to have everything, I started a company because I want to make movies, make movies without constraints. Let me go to the bargain with a mask on, I really don't want to go.
So, Sister Xiuxiu, if you think I'm too naïve, you can kick me away like Cameron. Maybe, if you kick me out of the way, I'll be the next king of the world. Hahahaha! ”
"What a bad joke!" Li Xiuxiu stood in place, looking at the people running on the poster, and then looked at the corners of his mouth and smiled, Shao Shuaijun, who was like a sunny boy, laughed silently, "But I believe that only pure people and pure likes can be recognized by the movie and the audience, and will become the next king of the world!" ”
Shao Shuaijun, if you want to be the king of the world, then, let me help you!
It's not about the result, it's just about the dream!
Or ......
