0159 【Silence】
The China Young Pioneer Directors Alliance is a joint-stock company, with an investment of 20 million yuan in Dream Chasing Entertainment, accounting for 50% of the shares, and the rest is shared equally by several others. This company is not for profit, he was an idea of Shao Shuaijun at the beginning, and he lamented that the younger generation of directors is not good at working hard, Shao Shuaijun thought about it, after making money in "Source Code", he also learned from Liu Dehua's Asian rising star director and launched a plan to support mainland directors.
However, something unpleasant happened to the division of "Source Code", and Shao Shuaijun's connections at that time were also insufficient, so the matter was shelved. It wasn't until after the establishment of Dream Chasing Entertainment Company that it was mentioned again, and it was discussed several times one after another, and finally it was decided to establish a young director alliance, and several large enterprises were invited to operate together.
After the announcement of the three plans and the group photo, the leaders and the CEOs went to the box, and Shao Shuaijun returned to the rostrum to be interviewed by reporters with the main creators of "33 Days of Broken Love", which is today's theme.
Because Shao Shuaijun had let go of his words before, no reporter dared to ask about the shady scenes at the box office, and the artistic debates about the film were rarely mentioned. It's all focused on the film's lace news.
A reporter asked why it was necessary to look for young actors to take on big responsibilities instead of using stars.
Shao Shuaijun replied: "The big production of "Painted Skin" has exhausted me, and all aspects have to be coordinated, especially the artist's schedule, which needs to be repeatedly scrutinized and consumes a lot of energy. I filmed "33 Days of Broken Love" is actually relaxing myself, Liu Shishi, Wen Zhang, Yang Ying, Chen Wei are all students who have not yet graduated, I want to scold them, let them come at what time, I feel that making movies at this time is really enjoyable, haha. ”
So a reporter asked if Shao Shuaijun was a tyrant on the set, and Liu Shishi smiled and said: "The director is actually a very gentle person, as long as you finish filming according to what he says, he generally doesn't scold." Of course, if you make a mistake and get caught, the director has a nickname called subwoofer, which can scold you to death. ”
Yang Ying also said: "Sometimes the director is obviously wrong, and we have to self-criticize, and then praise the director for his wisdom." You just have to find a trick to deal with him, follow his words, and pat yourself on the back, and you're all right, OK. ”
"Heh, to tell you this, I'm not a tyrant on the set at all, I'm a dumb man on the set." Shao Shuaijun saw that everyone was mercilessly exposing his old bottom, and felt that he had to stop it, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Ying in the shape of a pistol, "Yang Ying, what is one plus one?" ”
Yang Ying immediately said, "Two." ”
"Bang!" Shao Shuaijun pretended to shoot, and then blew into his fingers, "You know too much." ”
After it was over, I saw that everyone didn't react, and I stared blankly, not understanding what he was doing. Shao Shuaijun's old face turned red, coughed and said, "It's a joke, uh, okay, let's continue the interview." "It seems that I want to play a humorous game, but I can't grasp the atmosphere again, and I am cold.
"Director Shao, the joke just now is so funny." A reporter gave a perfunctory ass with an expressionless face, ""Painted Skin" has been confirmed to meet the audience in the summer, will it be released simultaneously in North America this time?" ”
"It's possible, the specifics are still talking, we've talked to Lionsgate a few times, and if there is an agreement on the cost and share, it will be released in North America at the same time."
"So, does Director Shao have any new film plans after "33 Days of Broken Love"?"
"I don't know." Shao Shuaijun didn't tell the truth. Although he intends to go to the United States to direct movies, there are too many variables, after all, the United States is different from China, in the United States he is a foreigner, if someone else invests in him to shoot it is simpler, and he opens his own company to invest in films, there will be more trouble.
……
The celebration banquet ended quietly in Shao Shuaijun's drunkenness.
If we talk about the previous debate, some people will not know how to raise and bombard Shao Shuaijun. But after the two killer weapons of Time.com and the Young Directors Alliance came out, the effect of the sudden extinguishment of Shao Shuaijun was surprisingly good. As long as you are a discerning person, you can see that once the time network is formed, once the Young Directors Alliance is established, offending Shao Shuaijun will outweigh the losses.
Time.com is nominally a website, but it is clear that it wants to integrate film information and cooperate with the Film Bureau. After it is put into operation, the guiding role of the film market will definitely not be small. On the surface, what Shao Shuaijun said was to let netizens evaluate their own opinions, but there are too many means to influence the movie.
For example, deliberately delaying the time for a movie to land on a website, deliberately leading remarks that are unfavorable to the movie, and blocking a certain movie on the website, these are all Chiguoguo's sticks. As a filmmaker, everyone knows that the word-of-mouth of a movie is very important, and the publicity during the release is also very important.
Time.com doesn't need to make a big move, it can make you feel distressed if you are stuck for two or three days.
If you don't cooperate with the Film Bureau and the theater chain, Time.com doesn't have such an effect, but it's a pity that Shao Shuaijun took the lead in cooperating with the Film Bureau and cooperating with major theaters to spread the influence of Time.com, and no one can stop it. Some prescient filmmakers naturally retreated.
And the Young Directors Alliance is even sharper, just ask which older generation of directors, there are no three or five apprentices, these apprentices are all learning to direct, but they rarely have the opportunity to make movies. As soon as the Young Directors Alliance came out, these people were not allowed to boil, and it was too late to scold Shao Shuaijun, where would they be attacked.
As a result, the controversy that was originally boiling and even the "People's Daily" was alarmed, as soon as the celebration banquet held by the Dream Chasing Company came out, it was collectively extinguished within a few days. Originally, few of these filmmakers really paid attention to the problem, they just came out to show their faces to expand their popularity, and they couldn't offend a rising star at all.
Whether you want to admit it or not, Shao Shuaijun has become the climate.
Therefore, the polemic was won by the Shao Shuaijun faction, except for a few old stubborns who were still stubbornly resisting, they all changed their words to support the commercialization of film scheduling and the development of commercial films.
"The development of commercial films is a breakthrough in domestic films, and I believe that in the future, our Chinese films will bloom." When Zhang Jian was interviewed, he changed his tune.
"I am very pleased to see that the mainland film market is becoming more and more open, and "33 Days of Broken Love" has undoubtedly made a good start, and I hope that the Young Directors Alliance can take care of Hong Kong, and we also have many outstanding young directors in Hong Kong." Liu Zhenwei has also changed quite quickly, and his films have been released in the mainland in recent years, and they have achieved good box office. After seeing Shao Shuaijun's current influence, he tried to speak out to resolve his previous unfriendly attitude.
……
Shao Shuaijun, who was testing Time.com, looked at the newspaper brought by Wang Cuicui and sighed softly: "What is literature and art?" What is Business? The box office theory is the wrong criterion, and the so-called art theory is also wrong. Although I have used some means to pressure these people to bow their heads, there is still a long way to go to change their deep-rooted ideas. I hope that as Zhang Jian said, Chinese films will flourish in the future, and literary and commercial films will flourish. ”
