"No matter what you do, it's always going to be difficult to break the game. The road to breaking the situation of Chinese films is also full of difficulties. Don't ask me how to break the game, I don't know. But I understand one thing, the reason why the bureau has not been broken is not the scissorhands of radio and television, not the audience's picky appetite, and not that we do not have excellent filmmakers. As a director of Chinese films, the help I can give and support as much as I can is these technologies of the New Electric Technology Research Institute, as well as the support of the Youth Directors' League and the Qingfeng Directors' Assistance Program. If we want to break the situation, what we need is the majority of filmmakers to work together. Not the success of one movie, but the success of many, many films! ”

"I say this today because I am a Chinese film director, because I am Chinese. I hope that when you refute what I said, you will think about whether there is any truth to it, and whether it can touch you a little...... So, that's all I have to say, and you can ask questions. Shao Shuaijun exhaled, took another sip of water, and leaned back on the back of the chair with a tired expression.

It's still very laborious to say such a long paragraph.

When it was the reporter's turn to ask a question, the reporter of the "Beijing News" immediately raised his hand: "Director Shao, after listening to your deafening words, we are deeply touched, and we will review our own imbalance in reporting after we go back." May I ask, what do you think is the current situation of Chinese films, and what direction can improve their competitiveness? ”

"I don't know how to increase competitiveness, but I think that when we can't find the theme and humanistic direction of the film, we might as well improve the hardware facilities of the film. Improve the picture quality, improve the sophistication of special effects, and so on. After all, we say 'watch a movie'. Movies need to be seen with the eyes, and the effect of the picture has been improved, which will definitely be of great help to competitiveness. ”

Then several reporters asked Shao Shuaijun a few questions about Chinese-language films. However, this topic was a little heavy after all, and within a few minutes, the topic was crooked: "May I ask Director Shao, you are directing two movies at the same time in Hollywood, is there anything different about this way of shooting?" ”

"It's stressful. But where there's pressure, there's motivation. The feeling of double opening is very cool. Two different subjects, two different shooting styles, not only did not make me feel confused, but they were able to weave together very wonderful inspirations. This way tired is a little tired. But. It can bring out my greater potential. ”

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes uses state-of-the-art expression capture technology. Director Shao, you also said that you like to learn advanced technology, James. Cameron is a tech maniac. Director Shao, are you also a technology maniac? ”

"I have a low level of education, so I need to learn a little more." Shao Shuaijun said modestly, however, his culture is indeed low, nominally a Nortel graduate, and he graduated from high school with an education level.

"Director Shao, your performance in "Old Boy" has been praised by many people and gained a lot of fans. Do you have any plans to continue your career as an actor? ”

"It's gone. I just want to have fun acting, being a director is tired enough, if I act again, won't I be tired to death. ”

"It's been a long time since you proposed, when do you plan to get married?"

"No comment."

"There's rumor that you're about to change careers to become a producer, isn't it?"

"Your news is really outdated, how many movies produced by Dream Chasing Golden Harvest and Summit Entertainment are there that I am not a producer?"

"When will your next Chinese movie be?"

"I don't know."

"What is the expected box office for 'Teddy Bear' and 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'?"

"I'm not a god, how do I know."

“……”

"Wanda Cinemas has become the largest cinema company in China, accounting for one-third of the market share, and many independent filmmakers claim that cinemas are monopolized, resulting in only a few filmmakers making blockbuster films.

"There are a lot of movies that survive on a small scale, and there are many movies that die on a large scale, so you should first find out why your movies are abandoned, instead of blaming others for abandoning you...... Okay, half an hour has passed, I still have something to do, so that's the end of today's press conference. ”

After grinding for a long time, I finally grinded it out for half an hour. Shao Shuaijun immediately said goodbye to the reporters and came to his office. The company has a backlog of documents for more than a month, and he needs to review and sign them. Now Dream Chasing Entertainment Group's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more industries are entering.

With the film industry as the leader and the Internet as the platform, the pan-entertainment industry chain is laid out. Movie publishing, toys and souvenirs, cinemas, theme parks, and entertainment programs have all made great progress. It also spans the entertainment circles of China, the United States, and India. As a result, more and more documents are being generated.

Of course, these documents are only backups, so that he knows what projects the company is running. As for decision-making, he has the highest veto power, and the company has to follow his orders. However, if he does not participate in the decision-making, the board of directors will also exercise this right on his behalf. It's the same with him or not.

Therefore, Shao Shuaijun just stretched out his head to look at the mountain-like documents, then yawned and turned his head away.

I went around the various departments of the company, experienced the majesty of the top leader, and then went to the time difference between the breaks. It wasn't until the evening that Li Xiuxiu woke him up and went to the hotel together. Tonight, he invited Cai Xiaoyun and Cai Shufeng to dinner, to slap his eyes for his elder sister, and to review whether Cai Shufeng can become a qualified brother-in-law.

There were quite a few people eating, Li Xiuxiu and Li Bingbing, Shao Shuaijun and Shao Xiaoling, Cai Xiaoyun and Cai Shufeng, six people. The four women chatted on Twitter, while Shao Shuaijun and Cai Shufeng talked without a match.

"Uncle Cai is going to be promoted, right?" Shao Shuaijun asked while gnawing on the pig's trotters.

"It's not clear." Cai Shufeng gives people a very calm feeling, or very stuffy, few words, and a military style.

"I have news that Uncle Cai is going to be transferred to Radio and Television, and the two teams of the General Administration of Press and Publication and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will be integrated, and the propaganda mouth may let Uncle Cai take power." Shao Shuaijun said his gossip news.

It can't be said that it's gossip, to his level. The contact is already with high-level political figures, when he gave a speech on the new electrical technology, even the vice premier attended, and on weekdays, the officials in power of the Ministry of Culture and Radio and Television would sit together to eat and drink or something.

China is an official-based country, but its wealth and social status have reached a certain level, and it is no weaker than the authority of officialdom. Shao Shuaijun is now rich and famous, not because he holds the officials of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Radio and Television, but these officials who come to praise his stinky feet.

If Dream Chasing is only a Chinese company, you can pinch it as much as you want. However, now Dream Chasing is a multinational group. Summit Entertainment is a six-level company in Hollywood, and such a company can already dominate the fate of an industry, which is far away. Not only under the protection of the Chinese government. It is also under the patronage of the U.S. government. Even the protection of the Hong Kong government, after a period of time, the dream of South Asia will develop. The Indian government will also be a patron.

It's a big tree that grows up, and it's hard to shake.

So Shao Shuaijun can scold if he wants to scold now, and he doesn't need to care about other people's faces.

Naturally, there is also a network of relationships attached to the top level, which is well-informed.

"I didn't pay attention." Cai Shufeng was indifferent to this news, it seemed that he was not pretending to be deep, but he was really not interested.

Born in a political family, he is not interested in politics, which is quite interesting, and Shao Shuaijun began to appreciate him.

"Hehe, what hobbies does Brother Feng usually have?"

"My brother can have any hobbies, and his biggest hobby is catching thieves." Cai Xiaoyun interjected.

Cai Shufeng shook his head: "This is a duty, not a hobby, I like to play football very much." ”

"Football, I knew that Chinese football stinks." Shao Shuaijun smiled, "But when do I plan to buy a team to play, by the way, does Brother Feng know about Beijing Guoan, I want to buy it, ask foreign world champion coaches to train, and buy a few more powerful players, and strive to win a few consecutive championships." Let's see if we can improve the pattern of the Super League. ”

"Well, I only like to play football and don't pay much attention to the football team." Cai Shufeng smiled awkwardly.

Cai Xiaoyun rolled his eyes: "My brother plays football, it stinks, it stinks like Chinese football." By the way, director, when did you like playing football? ”

Shao Shuaijun shook his head: "I didn't say I like football, I just think it's fun to buy a team to play." I used to have dinner with Boss Wang of Wanda, and I heard him talk about the football team and the like, boasting about it, and saying that he was going to take down Evergrande. I think he's a bit arrogant and want to give him a little color. ”

"That's why you bought a team? Yes, I can't keep up with the thinking of you rich people. Cai Xiaoyun was speechless.

At the end of the meal, although he hadn't found a common language for chatting or anything, Shao Shuaijun's first impression of Cai Shufeng was not bad, and he did not object to Shao Xiaoling and Cai Shufeng's relationship. The eldest sister is not small, and it is time to find someone to marry.

After dinner, they went back to their respective homes, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu seized the time to linger all night, and the next day, they were reluctant to take a special plane and fly to the United States to continue directing his films.

Shao Shuai's soldiers left, but the waves could not be stopped.

"Shao Shuaijun thinks that Chinese filmmakers are all bad boys and don't study hard!"

"Angrily denounced the unhealthy atmosphere in the Chinese film industry, Shao Shuaijun once again advocated that filmmakers learn more new technologies."

"Shao Shuaijun praised "Avatar" for its technical intentions, and humbled that "Old Boy" should not be a fig leaf for the downfall of Chinese films.

"The new electric technology reserves technology for Chinese films, and there are very few applicants; Shao Shuaijun scolded Chinese filmmakers for being backward in their thinking and not wanting to forge ahead. ”

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, Shao Shuaijun enjoys himself in Hollywood, but he belittles Chinese movies, his heart can be punished!" -- Nandu Entertainment Weekly.

"Speaking for the rise of Chinese films, Shao Shuaijun's pure heart moved reporters."

"Nortel President Zhang Huijun interpreted Shao Shuaijun's news speech in detail and praised Shao Shuaijun as a rare sober person in the Chinese film industry."

"Radio and Television highly praised Shao Shuaijun, saying that Scissorhands is also for the harmonious development of Chinese films, and hopes to see more filmmakers make movies with their hearts."

Major media have published Shao Shuaijun's speech, and the majority of netizens have also participated, most of whom agree with Shao Shuaijun's point of view, believing that Chinese films can indeed no longer boast of themselves, and there must be practical actions to improve the quality of films. However, not many filmmakers have expressed their views on this speech.

Maybe they don't know a lot of truths, they just don't want to do it.

can make money by making a low-budget comedy, so why bother to pretend to be deep and shoot a big production?

Regardless of whether it has affected some filmmakers, Shao Shuaijun has already unloaded his burden of reporting, did what he should do, said what he should say, and the rest depends on everyone's consciousness. He didn't have time to work, and he had a bunch of things to do. (To be continued......)
