The final version of "Painted Skin" requires 120 minutes, which is undoubtedly a difficult task for Shao Shuaijun, if possible, he doesn't want to cut a minute, a really good movie, can't be limited by time. But if he doesn't cut it, several investors will definitely have to change people to cut it.

Fortunately, the post-production special effects shots of "Painted Skin" have not yet been completed, and Shao Shuaijun has enough time to think about how to cut the shots.

Time spent revising the "Painted Skin" footage little by little, and revising the script of "Twilight: Twilight" little by little. "Painted Skin" has already received an answer from Miramax Films, and it will be released simultaneously in Asia and North America, rather than being released after a period of hiding.

Shao Shuaijun didn't know exactly how it was arranged, and he now felt that the whole person was suddenly idle again.

The procedures for applying to open a film company in the United States were too complicated, and even for a period of time, the U.S. Immigration Bureau came every day to ask Shao Shuaijun if he had a tendency to immigrate. I have to say that Americans think too highly of themselves, and anyone who comes to the United States to work or study, they suspect that you are coming with the intention of immigrating to the United States.

Once it is confirmed that you have immigrant intentions, they will immediately turn around and refuse to give you the opportunity to work in the United States.

In the end, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu had already extinguished the idea of opening a company in the United States, and planned to buy a small film company in the name of Dream Chasing Entertainment Company to operate. With Rob's help, they took a fancy to a film company, Summit Entertainment, which also opened in Santa Monica.

This film company Shao Shuaijun is very familiar, and before he was reborn, he happened to be in time to promote "Shocking Demon Thieves" in China. And "Shocking Demon Thieves" was filmed by this company. Interestingly, without Shao Shuaijun's interference, Summit Entertainment would be the company that operates the "Twilight" series of movies.

But it's a pity that now with Shao Shuaijun, everything will change.

The current Summit Entertainment Company is shabby enough, and its office is not far from Lionsgate, but the area is ten times smaller. Although it was founded in 1998, it took nearly 8 years to release four films. The low yield is amazing. But if you think. This company is unknown, and that would be wrong.

It's not badly famous, with three of the four films being world-famous, Two Big Smoking Guns, Vanilla Sky, and Operation Smith. "Two Big Smoking Guns" doesn't need to be repeated. This is the cover. Richie's famous work. It is also the ancestor of the movie style of "Crazy Stone".

"Operation Smith" is also familiar to many people. In recent years, Hollywood's most popular student Brad . Pete, and Angelina, who was voted No. 1 in the 2005 Top 100 Sexy Women by Gang of Men. Julie, with all your might. Popular all over the world.

The most representative is "Vanilla Sky", which became the king of Hollywood topics that year as soon as it was released in 2001, and is one of Tom's masterpieces, winning numerous awards.

Therefore, the fame of Summit Entertainment is still there. But this will not cause too much difficulty for the acquisition, as an independent film company, the development of Summit Entertainment is not smooth, the quality of the film is important, but what really affects the development of the company is the number of films.

Summit Entertainment's production capacity is too weak, and four movies in eight years, even if the response is good, it can't change the tension of the company's capital chain. In another trajectory, it can also grow with the help of the cash cow of "Twilight", but this trajectory, Shao Shuaijun is coming, and it is destined to be devoured.

The owner of Summit Entertainment, Mitchell. Bruce does not rule out being acquired, but at the price of the acquisition, and whether the new company in the future has his place, these aspects still need to be considered for a long time.

As a result, Shao Shuaijun was temporarily unable to make new movies.

I had to compete with "Painted Skin".

Time slipped quietly, and half of the April day passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, the digital field finally finished producing the last set of special effects shots of "Painted Skin". Shao Shuaijun got the most anticipated part, and he could finally complete the editing quietly, which is a meticulous job, for the director.

Just as he was immersed in the film, about to finish editing.

A video began circulating on domestic websites, and it exceeded one million views in just one day......

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door of Lionsgate's editing room, and Wang Zhonglei's voice came quickly: "Junzi, open the door quickly!" Something happened! ”

"What's the matter?"

Shao Shuaijun had stubble on his face and his hair was messy, and in order to find inspiration for editing, he even gave up his time to take care of himself.

"'Painted Skin' has been stolen!"

"What!"

Wang Zhonglei didn't say a word, he took Shao Shuaijun to the computer, entered the domestic URL, and a video website appeared, including the shiny title "Painted Skin Lite", and after buffering, the video began to play. The more I look at Shao Shuaijun's face, the uglier it becomes, this so-called condensed version is not a movie.

It's a hodgepodge of shots from "Painted Skin", with only thirty-five minutes of footage, and after choreography, it seems that the plot of the entire movie can also be seen. These shots are shot in a movie, and there are no special effects, but there are rough shots to be added to them.

For example, in the scene of the ladyboy war, because it was synthesized with special effects, the actors did not make up, and the picture looked messy and noisy.

And there are some behind-the-scenes tidbits in it, due to the angle of shooting, a lot of goofs have been added, and I don't know if it's a problem with the pixels of the website video or what's the reason, the whole video looks like it's shoddy, and there is no so-called "Painted Skin" The so-called high-definition picture quality and majestic atmosphere are not at all.

"Spread?" Shao Shuaijun asked with a frown.

"It's already 1.5 million hits just now, don't look at it, hurry up and go to the meeting."

When I entered the conference room, it was full of smoke, and the representatives of various companies were lighting cigarettes and arguing.

"Okay, don't make any noise, Lao Yang, let's talk about the news from China."

Yang Hongtao blushed: "The situation has been determined, it must have been done by insiders, thirty-five minutes of footage, most of which are rough cut rough shots, should have been stolen before coming to the United States." There are no marks on the screen, so it's not a problem with post-production, that is, what happened half a year ago has to be checked now, and it's hard to find out who did it. ”

Shao Shuaijun asked with a calm face: "So, how to deal with it now?" The flow of this kind of film must have a huge impact on "Painted Skin", which is too damaging to the sense of expectation of "Painted Skin", and I just watched half of the 35-minute footage, and found that the shot runs through almost all the plots of "Painted Skin". There are no gimmicks and no sense of expectation, what will "Painted Skin" do to grab the box office! ”

The smoke was filling, and everyone's faces were solemn. (To be continued......)
