At the beginning of 2008, on the global movie box office list, the first place was still the "king of the world" James. Cameron's "Titanic", released in 1997, has a global box office of $2,185.4 million, a horror. Followed by Peter. Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", released in 2003, was $1.1191 billion worldwide, more than a billion dollars short.

In the next few films, the gap is very small. Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Harry. Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World, The Lion King, Harry. Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers ranked third to ninth, respectively.

Coming in at number 10 is Andrew. Stanton and Lee. The animated film "Finding Nemo", co-directed by Unkrich, was released in 3003 and cost $921.4 million worldwide.

"Inception" has only been released for two and a half weeks, with more than $500 million worldwide, and countless people are looking forward to whether it can advance to the top ten of the global box office. With the reputation and box office endurance of "Inception", many experts predict that this hope exists, but no one is sure whether it can be achieved.

The movies that can hit the global box office charts are either series movies, adaptations of best-selling novels, or big productions that have been sharpened for several years. "Inception" has no foundation in the original work, no foundation for a series of movies, and no large-cycle production, just an original movie that was produced in less than half a year.

With such a foundation, it will hit the global box office. Naturally, it has received a lot of attention. Even if the global total box office impact does not enter, the top ten of the annual total box office will definitely lock in a seat.

The scene of the interview meeting was lively, but Shao Shuaijun and others were drinking tea and chatting upstairs, and they were ready to go down on time at nine o'clock. This time, for the establishment of the New Electrical Technology Research Institute, Shao Shuaijun specially invited many dignitaries and industry seniors, such as several deputy directors of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, directors of the Film Bureau, CEOs of various film companies, officials of the Beijing Municipal Government, and a group of directors and producers.

"Mr. Shao. You're proud of the spring breeze now. We repented and died. Yu Dong of Poly Bona smiled bitterly.

"It's all tears." Wang Zhongjun also smiled bitterly.

Zhang Hongsen said with a smile: "People's fate is destined, sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to force it." Ha ha! I asked you to invest in the first place. Don't dare. Now I can only stare dryly, but I still don't have enough courage. You look at Xiao Shao's courage, one after another. What was said when the satellite was put before. How bold the people are, how productive the land is, there is no high risk, there is no high output. ”

Deputy Director Tong shook his head with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you are idealistic, you still have to pursue peace and stability in business, a genius like Shao Shuaijun can't produce one in ten years." ”

Shao Shuaijun hurriedly waved his hand: "Director Tong, this is cold for me, I'm just lucky." ”

"Hey, this is not a matter of luck that can be done, without your talent as a director, there would be no foundation for chasing dreams. One of your "Inceptions" seems to be able to exceed 800 million global box office, which is more than 6 billion yuan, and at least 2 or 3 billion yuan will be distributed, right? With these two or three billion, the financing of Dream Chaser is tens of billions of financing. It is equivalent to you making a movie, in exchange for several dream chasing entertainment groups. Can you have this kind of luck in ordinary people? Minister Cai, the propaganda minister and deputy mayor of Beijing City, that is, the father of reporter Cai Xiaoyun, gave a thumbs up.

Talking and laughing, it soon came to nine o'clock, Shao Shuaijun went down to be interviewed first, he prepared two hours of interview time, and then at 11 o'clock officially announced the establishment of the New Electrical Technology Research Institute.

When I got downstairs, I immediately attracted a frenzy of flashing lights.

"Director Shao!"

"Director Shao!"

Shao Shuaijun, escorted by his assistant, went to the rostrum in the hall, blocked the dazzling flash, and then picked up the microphone: "Hello everyone, welcome to all media friends, can you turn off the flash, your eyes are stinging from you." I don't have a lot of time, two hours of interview time, should be enough, right? ”

"Director Shao, can't you add another two hours, and you can still leave us for lunch." A reporter shouted below.

Shao Shuaijun raised his eyes and saw that he was a reporter from "Time Network", his own person, and replied with a smile: "There are so many people, you want to eat the poor, right?" ”

"Director Shao, you fell a small piece from the box office of "Inception", which is enough for us to eat for a lifetime." Another reporter shouted.

"You're not a beauty, and I'm still responsible for supporting you for the rest of your life?" Shao Shuaijun said with disdain, and then waved his hand, "Okay, don't make trouble, everyone hurry up, one person has one problem, you delay time, I will definitely welcome it." I feel that your problems are definitely not easy to deal with, and it is a while to be able to hide. ”

After a while, the interview officially began, and the on-site host came to ask questions one by one.

First of all, the first one, naturally, is a reporter who has a good relationship with Dream Chasing, Cai Xiaoyun, a gold medal reporter of "Beijing Entertainment News": "Director Shao, I want to ask, the theme of "Inception" is the dream world, are you fascinated by the dreams you have had?" Have you changed your perception of dreams since you started making films? What do you think of dreams? ”

"Wow, do you have three questions?" Shao Shuaijun smiled, "When I was very young, dreams always made me feel mysterious and incredible. I can't think of a specific scenario right now, but dreams always give me infinite freedom to imagine, and that's what makes dreams so fascinating. Personally, I think the most interesting idea about dreams and this movie is that when you are asleep, you can subconsciously create the whole world, and you can experience it without knowing it. There's a lot of the idea of the subconscious, especially the creative subconscious, and that's always fascinated me. I'm a director to create dreams. ”

The second reporter, a foreign blonde beauty, asked: "The concept in this film is very abstract, did you spend a long time communicating with the actors, especially Leonardo?" For example, writing, drawing, drawing or something on a piece of paper? ”

"That's for sure. Leo's character is the first to be determined, and his grasp of the authenticity of the character is almost demanding, and the truth of the character's language must be based on the truth of emotion. So we spent a lot of time discussing the plot and the growth of the characters, and we often kept talking about it during breaks. That is the driving force behind the whole movie, and it is also the basis that makes him a great actor, a charismatic movie star, who leads the audience into the dream world with his true emotions. ”

The third reporter, a black man, asked, "This is your second original production, how do you think it's different from the previous one?" ”

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "I don't know how to define the quality and difference of my own movies, the movies I shoot are all what I want to express." Some of them I expressed, some of which I failed to express, but no matter what, they all gave me deep feelings and understanding. To say how different they ......" (to be continued......
