After announcing the news of the project of "Life of Pi" together with Li Yu, the media on both sides of the strait widely reported the news.

"The most outstanding directors on both sides of the strait will join forces to dedicate a classic movie!" This is the mainstream view in the media.

At the same time, some media said: "This cooperation of "Life of Pi" will definitely be one of the landmark events of the great integration of the Chinese film industry in the future!" ”

Because Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu are the most famous directors in the mainland, and the other is the most famous director in Baodao, the height of the identities of both parties determines that the significance of this cooperation will be far greater than the reality. "News Series" did not hesitate to introduce the news in prime time, in one minute.

"Today, Dream Chasing Golden Harvest Entertainment Group, together with Summit Entertainment Group and Dream Chasing South Asia Film Company, jointly invested and created a new film "Life of Pi" in Beijing. The film is adapted from Jan. Martel's famous novel tells the magical story of a shipwreck. The film will be directed by the famous director Li Yu, with the famous director Shao Shuaijun as the producer, and is expected to meet a wide audience from the end of 2012 to 2013. ”

Yi Jianmei, general manager of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, said in an interview that the film is cooperated by two of the best Chinese directors, which is an attempt by Dream Chasing Entertainment to build a world film industry chain, and it is also a support for the declaration of directors from across the Taiwan Strait, hoping that in the cooperation of the two directors, we can explore a path to improve the industrialization of Chinese films and realize the close cooperation of the entire Chinese film industry.

At the Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film Directors Symposium in January, it was led by Li Yu. Under the impetus of a group of people with lofty ideals, a declaration was issued at the seminar to promote the development of Chinese films, form the industrialization of Chinese films, and promote the integration and rise of Chinese films.

Life Pi is an attempt, the crew will shoot movies according to Hollywood production standards, attract Chinese filmmakers, and explore a suitable shooting path for Chinese films in the creative process. Li Yu will bring Hollywood's usual way of filming through this shooting. Passed to all the Chinese in the crew.

Shao Shuaijun will also be in the process of production. Try to teach Hollywood the best of the world.

Chinese filmmakers have never lacked artistry, what they lack is the exploration of the industrialization of films, and what they lack is their own style, hoping to be able to make films in this kind of Sino-US cooperation. Get some inspiration. I saw clearly how Hollywood movies are made. Knowledge of Chinese films. It will be more profound.

After the news of the project, it was time for the traditional Chinese festivals of Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.

After returning to his hometown for three days of the New Year, Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States with a large family. The filming progress of "Night Watchman" should be hurried. Because after a while, he will start directing "The Avengers", and he will also find time to participate in the production of Youth Pi, which will be very busy.

However, with the company of his wife and children, Shao Shuaijun's enthusiasm was regained and the filming work was quickly promoted.

Just as the development of Summit Entertainment is also advancing rapidly!

On February 14, Summit Entertainment and Paramount Pictures held a press conference.

At the meeting, Summit Entertainment announced the acquisition of Paramount's special effects company Digital Domain at a market price of $178 million. Mitchell, CEO of Summit Entertainment, said at a press conference: "The acquisition of D2 is a close part of Summit Entertainment's global strategy, D2 is a great special effects company, and being able to cooperate with D2 will inevitably bring a new leap forward to Summit Entertainment." ”

On the same day, on the official website of Summit Entertainment, a message was released: "The peak special effects company under Summit Entertainment will be merged into D2 as a whole, and merge with the Dream Chasing Special Effects Company under Dream Chasing Golden Harvest to form Golden Harvest D2, Golden Harvest D2 is the special effects company under Dream Chasing Golden Harvest." Golden Harvest D2 will take the Chinese market as an opportunity to find a new way to rise. ”

Former D2 CEO John Brown. Dexto, who has been officially appointed as the CEO of Golden Harvest D2, left a message on his official website: "D2 has been losing money for more than three years, and we have strong special effects processing capabilities, and we are good at solving 80% of problems in post-production and 20% of problems in 3D." D2's 3D technology R&D capabilities are among the best in the world, as is its use of Houdini (3D graphics processing software). However, we have not achieved technical excellence in our operations. This time, we were able to join a large company with a strong global rise and move to an emerging film market with huge potential, and all the employees of Golden Harvest D2 and I are full of confidence! ”

Shao Shuaijun, who was filming, took the time to meet with John after receiving the news of the successful acquisition of D2. Dexto, for a semi-formal conversation about the future of the special effects industry. From the reform of special effects technology to the future development direction of the film, everything was discussed, and it was quite pleasant to talk about.

Later, Shao Shuaijun posted a scarf on his twitter and time scarf: "I talked with John about the future development of Golden Harvest D2, and we both believe that basing ourselves on the Chinese market is the best way for D2 to transform. Dream Entertainment will produce a lot of movies in the future, whether it is IMAX or 3D, it will require a lot of special effects, and Golden Harvest D2 will be a strong supplement to the company. Oh, and by the way, the second shot of "Night Watchman" has been named "Night Watchman: Reflection", and the filming is in the final stage, and I am full of anticipation for it! ”

Several news were released one after another, and the situation in the global film industry was immediately mixed up.

When Time magazine voted for its 2010 Person of the Year, Shao narrowly lost to Facebook's Mark Shuaijun. Zuckerberg, missed the cover character of the year. As a result, this week, the American edition of Time magazine once again selected Shao Shuaijun as the cover character.

The cover inscription given by Time magazine reads: "He is changing the world, more and more!" ”

Since entering Hollywood single-handedly in 2006, based on Summit Entertainment, Shao Shuaijun has completely rewritten the pattern of Hollywood that has lasted for decades. Acquired Marvel Comics, hit the Big Six, financed Lionsgate, topped the 2010 box office, planned to acquire MGM, and now acquired D2, one of Hollywood's best special effects companies.

Shao Shuaijun may not have achieved everything without the Facebook that Zuckerberg founded. It has changed the whole way of socializing teenagers, and it has such a huge impact and influence. But Shao Shuaijun's influence is continuous and far-reaching. In this era of global interconnection, whoever controls public opinion is the uncrowned king.

Undoubtedly, the youngest uncrowned king is Shao Shuaijun!

In the past, Summit Entertainment focused on movies and its influence was still limited, but this year it began to make frequent moves, which is to create a posture of a kingdom of public opinion. Time Magazine believes. Summit Entertainment's actions are by no means just these few steps, Summit Entertainment made too much money last year.

Only if you can spend money can you continue to make money, and Summit Entertainment will inevitably be a year of spending money in 2011.

"In the future, we can look forward to the future of this young man who represents the 'world dream'. Bringing the impact that the United States brings to the world. It's going to get bigger and bigger. Such an outstanding young man. It's the tide of the times! "Time Magazine" ended its introduction to Shao Shuaijun with such a concluding sentence.

Time Magazine's prediction was good.

Zuckerberg used Facebook to go public to gain unlimited wealth, and then began to buy various businesses. Build an internet empire.

Shao Shuaijun also used Dream Chasing Entertainment to obtain unlimited wealth, and then began to buy entertainment companies on a large scale this year to build an entertainment empire.

The media is immersed in the noise of the acquisition of D2, and the US media has reported relatively less on this acquisition, D2 is losing money every year, and the acquisition is predictable. The domestic media reported frantically, China can be said to have no special effects company, or it can be said that there is no blockbuster, and now Dream Chasing Entertainment has finally begun to exert its power and acquire D2, and the world's special effects giant will be a Chinese company in the future.

How can it not be pleased.

Only Dream Chasing Entertainment has the courage to still have a firm layout at a time when the special effects industry is gloomy and bleak.

Set up a new electrical technology research institute, reserve new film technology, and acquire top special effects companies. are all big moves that shook the Chinese film industry.

But just when everyone thought that the acquisition of D2 was Summit Entertainment's biggest move in the special effects industry, a week later, another bombshell fell into the entertainment industry.

"Shocking news! Summit Entertainment has teamed up with George Brown, the father of Star Wars. Lucas signed the contract, and the two parties jointly submitted a takeover offer to the U.S. government. After the acquisition of D2, Summit Entertainment has set its sights on Lucasfilm, which owns ILM, and its ambition to integrate the special effects industry is obvious! -- The New York Times front-page headline.

Originally, Summit Entertainment planned to release the news after the acquisition was confirmed, but with the New York Times accidentally getting the news and revealing it, there was no need to hide it. In a subsequent acquisition statement by Summit Entertainment, it was determined that Summit Entertainment would spend $3.95 billion to acquire Lucasfilm in the form of half cash and half stock! ”

"Summit Entertainment is crazy to reproduce, and it has acquired Lucasfilm at a sky-high price, wanting to build a giant aircraft carrier in the special effects industry! It is reported that George. Lucas will give up Lucasfilm in exchange for a 3.4% stake in Summit Entertainment, second only to Shao Shuaijun and Mitchell. Bruce, become the third largest individual shareholder of Summit Entertainment! Lucasfilm's status will be on an equal footing with Marvel Comics, and it will only report to Li Xiuxiu, general manager of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group! -- The Wall Street Journal's front-page headline.

"The New York Stock Exchange has confirmed that Lucasfilm is officially listed today, ceases stock trading, and will wait for the acquisition to be confirmed before trading." -- The Times.

It was a big earthquake that stunned everyone.

In just one hour, the news spread all over the world, as a well-deserved leader in the special effects industry, Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic is definitely a symbol of Hollywood, more than ten times the existence of D2. And Lucasfilm is not only ILM, but also the "Star Wars" series of movies that are famous all over the world.

"The deal is 80 percent complete, and only one final review by the U.S. government's antitrust organization is needed, and Lucasfilm will become a Pinnacle Entertainment subsidiary."

Summit Entertainment held a press conference, the next generation of world king Shao Shuaijun, the father of Star Wars, George. Lucas, confirmed to attend the press conference! ”

The news can be said to have bombarded the world, and the eyes of the whole world will be on this upcoming press conference. (To be continued......)
