It's not that there are no Chinese-language films that have won high box office in the world, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Source Code", "Kung Fu", "Painted Skin", "On the Red Cliff, Down" have all created a good story of breaking 100 million US dollars around the world.

But not a single film, not a single Chinese-language film, just in the traditional Asian market, managed to earn more than $100 million at the box office in one week. Even at the total box office in Asia, there are no Chinese-language films that break 100 million US dollars.

Whether it is the Hong Kong movies produced by Oriental Hollywood, or the song and dance movies produced by Bollywood in India, or the Hayao Miyazaki era of Japanese animated films. Or the revitalization movie launched by South Korea. It was never reached. In one week, it surpassed the miracle of 100 million US dollars in Asia.

There is the credit of Dream Chasing Entertainment's strong marketing power, and there is also the help of the schedule of simultaneous release, but what is more important is the excitement of the movie. Like a sharp arrow, inserted into all dreams. But in the hearts of people who are helpless about the years. No matter whenever. Dream and struggle for this theme. Always the most favored and touched.

"Three years ago, Shao Shuaijun came to Hollywood as a rookie Asian director. In three years, the World Cinema Center experienced, failure and success were polished together. Three years later, Shao returned to Asia. is already a big director who makes the whole of Asia tremble! —The inscription on the cover of Time Magazine's Asian edition.

This is the eleventh time Shao Shuaijun has landed on Time Magazine and the third time he has become the cover character of Time Magazine.

"Painted Skin" was a global hit, and he appeared on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine, with the inscription "Shao Shuaijun, and his young film kingdom". Summit Entertainment went public, and he appeared on the cover of the Asian and American editions of Time Magazine, with the inscription "Shao Shuaijun and His Film Kingdom".

Now on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine again, it is the longest inscription to highlight Shao Shuaijun's unique identity. A world-class billionaire, a world-class philanthropist, a world-class director, and a world-class dream spokesperson......

The cover photo is a picture of Shao Shuaijun's speech at the freshman ceremony of the New Electrical Technology Research Institute, holding a microphone in one hand and a trouser pocket in the other, looking down at the students in the audience, looking forward to himself.

Leaders of the film industry!

This season, the "2012" disaster storm has swept the world has been 500 million US dollars, although compared with the high investment, it is not enough to make money, but it has set off a wave of apocalypse, even many Americans saw it, thought it was true, called the government to ask for refuge.

It can be said that Roland. With "2012", Emmerich officially established his title as the world's most influential disaster film master. On the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he is already qualified to press his fingerprint. The director who can press his handprint here, either burns like a volcano at the box office, or creates a top title in a type of genre.

For example, the reason why Chinese director Wu Yusen can leave his handprint is because of his title of the master of global film violence aesthetics. In contrast, Li Yu won the Oscar, but he is still not qualified to press his handprint. The scenery of Roland can be seen.

But no matter how beautiful Roland is, no matter how perfect the special effects of "2012" are, and no matter how real the disaster scene is, it can't stop the storm of youth dreams of "Old Boy", which raged in Asia and strangled "2012" to death on the battlefield.

"Time Magazine" is just one of all the well-known magazines that pay attention to Shao Shuaijun, such as "National Geographic", "Fortune", "Vanity Fair", "Playboy", "Rolling Stone", "Forbes", "Premiere" in France, "ELLE" and "Paris Race Pictorial" in France, "Gang of Men", "Faces" and "Wallpaper" in the United Kingdom, "Star Weekly" in Germany, "Color" in Italy, and other magazines, all rushed to report on Shao Shuaijun and his new films.

Newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal in the United States, the Yomiuri Shimbun in Japan, the Sun in the United Kingdom, the Bild in Germany, and the Le Monde in France, as well as major portals around the world, have also paid frantic attention to Shao Shuaijun and his latest film "Old Boy".

Originally, "Old Boy" did not confirm its release plan in Europe and the United States, because Shao Shuaijun did not know whether a story about China's grassroots dream would be sought after by Europe and the United States. It is expected to spend a lot of effort to arrange the schedule. Arrange the theater, and there will be no crotch left at that time, so it is better not to release it.

But now a week has passed, and European and American distributors have called one after another, asking to represent the distribution rights of "Old Boy".

Except for Japan and South Korea, Asia has never been an important box office, and it doesn't make much box office every year.

But it is such a barren land for movies, and suddenly a movie that won 100 million US dollars in a week suddenly appeared, and it is not a big Hollywood production, how can it not be surprising and surprising. With this miraculous data as a title. "Old Boy" is just rotten like a piece of. There are also a lot of people to see.

Everyone has curiosity and wants to know what kind of movies foreigners like to watch.

Dream Chasing Jiahe is busy, and "Old Boy" officially took advantage of this momentum to go global.

……

"Danny. "Slumdog Millionaire" will be painted in a while. Take advantage of this last time. You take a few leading actors and show your face well this awards season, and strive to explode at the box office again. A perfect ending. ”

"Old Boy" was released, but Shao Shuaijun didn't go out for a whole week, and almost buried his head in the script improvement of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Teddy Bear". Directing two movies at the same time, the pressure can be imagined, and if you don't want to mess up, you have to work harder.

It's December, and it's Hollywood's annual awards season, which starts with the announcement of the winners at the National Board of Review (NBR) on December 3, 2009, and ends on Oscar Night on March 7, 2010, with a four-month harvest season.

"Heartbeat" is no longer expected, small and fresh without a theme, even more humble than last year's "500 Days with Shamo", and the box office is not much better, this awards season is the farthest away from Shao Shuaijun. And the highlight of this year's Summit Entertainment is betting on "Slumdog Millionaire".

Winning awards and box office is the qualified embodiment of a large company. Now that "Slumdog Millionaire" has earned $300 million at the global box office, and it will be down in a month, Shao Shuaijun hopes that director Danny will be on the way. Boyle was able to lead the leading actors to give more exposure and promote the film, not only for the box office, but also for the awards.

"I hope to win more awards, otherwise I'm sorry Shao for trusting me so much." Danny. Boyle was naturally full of promises.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun called his casting director Louis again. Lenard: "Hi Luis, how is the casting going?" ”

"I've already drafted most of the roles and signed some of the smaller supporting roles. The important supporting roles still need you to meet in person, as well as the list of several leading actors you provided, I visited them one by one, and they all agreed to sign the contract. Oh yes, forget to congratulate you on the big hit of your new movie in Asia, I'm in the United States, I can see your news every day, your charm is just too great. ”

Shao Shuaijun smiled: "I didn't expect the movie to be so well received, it's an unexpected joy." By the way, I'm already planning to fly to the United States the day before Christmas, so you can take charge of the crew for the time being, and we'll start work after Christmas. ”

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun dialed Mitchell's number again: "Hi, Mitchell." ”

"Hi Shao, have you had a great time in China, congratulations, "Oldboy" is a big hit in Asia, and you have created an incredible miracle. I can't wait to schedule Oldboy to premiere this weekend and hope to continue the excitement in Asia. Mitchell muttered on the other end of the line.

"Don't expect too much, the taste of the movie is not necessarily the right for American audiences." Shao Shuaijun poured a basin of cold water on him to cool down, from the very beginning, "Old Boy" did not move closer to the taste of foreign audiences, "By the way, Mitchell, how is the copyright negotiation of superheroes?" ”

"It's not going too well, the punisher in the hands of Lionsgate is good to say, our two families are old neighbors, and Bob and I are also good buddies. But Twentieth Century Fox and Sony are a bit difficult to deal with, especially Sony, who will not let go, and will extend the copyright of Spider-Man, listen to what they mean, even if Spider-Man is bad, he will not let go. ”

"Sony, I remember. What about Twentieth Century Fox? Shao Shuaijun nodded.

"How can I say it, they have no power on superheroes, except for the X-Men who have developed it in recent years, the rest of the superheroes have almost not been able to do it......" (To be continued......
