0214 【New Direction】
After the meeting.
The news of Shao Shuaijun's appearance also spread, and countless reporters blocked outside Dream Chasing Entertainment Company, wanting to interview. However, Shao Shuaijun has not yet figured out how to face the reporters' rhetoric, and he has not left the company, but has discussed things with Li Xiuxiu in the office.
"Sister Xiuxiu, how about you say we postpone the listing?"
"Postponed listing?"
"Yes, the loss of "Night Watchman" has dealt a big blow to Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, at least reducing our financing by half. If we can sell it well, it will not be a problem for us to raise 10 billion yuan now, but the most ideal effect now, that is, 7 or 8 billion yuan, is too far from what we imagined. ”
Li Xiuxiu asked while peeling apples, "So what do you mean?" ”
"I want to make another big production to make up for the loss of 'Night Watch'."
"Or a big Hollywood production?"
"Yes."
Li Xiuxiu stared at Shao Shuaijun's eyes and asked carefully, "Have you figured it out?" ”
"It's never been clearer, I told you, some movies are a flash of light, put it there, I just need to bring it. This one is a flash of inspiration, and I'm sure it won't lose money like "Night Watchman", it will shock the world! Shao Shuaijun said seriously, "This is a movie about dreams, I can't judge how much it will cost to invest now, but 100 million dollars is definitely indispensable." Sister Xiuxiu, do you think my idea is too crazy, I just lost a lot of money, and now I want to make a big deal again. ”
After the apple was peeled, Li Xiuxiu handed it to Shao Shuaijun, and waited for Shao Shuaijun to prepare to take it. He withdrew his hand again and took a bite of himself: "If you want to eat, you can cut it yourself!" You, you, the ghost can know how crazy your idea is, a hundred million dollars, say it I'm afraid that the rest of the company will be scared to death. ”
"It's crazy, but I really want to shoot it now, I don't blindly think that it will be successful, I have analyzed a lot, and I can say that I have been thinking about this script for more than five or six years. It's not a heroic blockbuster like "The Night Watchman." It's a very magical science fiction film. Sister Xiuxiu. You'll support me in shooting, won't you? Speaking of this script, Shao Shuaijun was full of energy, because it was in his opinion. All science fiction films. One of the coolest scripts.
"Alas. If you stand up, who can stop you? Ah Jun, you know that I have always supported you. I want you to tell me. In this movie, you decided to shoot it after careful thinking, rather than fighting with yourself. Then I will be able to convince others for you. ”
Closing his eyes, Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "I know that some time ago, I behaved very badly, and I was impetuous and arrogant. Not anymore, I know how I want to do things and what path works best for me. I looked up into the distance, ignoring my feet, and now that I can see the road beneath my feet, I will see even further! ”
"This is the Shao Shuaijun I am familiar with, confident, calm, just like at the beginning, on the streets of Phoenix, telling me that you want to conquer the world." Li Xiuxiu said with a smile.
Shao Shuaijun stood up and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Dream Chasing Film and Television Base was about to be completed, the accommodation building had begun to be finely decorated, the office building had begun to install doors and windows, and the 50 acres of land had been decorated into a garden, with a playground and a swimming pool. It is conservatively estimated that this land has quadrupled in two years, and it is still rising rapidly.
"My previous self-confidence came from believing that I could do everything, now my self-confidence comes from ......"
Turning around, Shao Shuaijun looked at Li Xiuxiu seriously: "From you, Sister Xiuxiu, it is your silent dedication behind the scenes, allowing me to have everything, have the foundation of wanton squandering, and be myself to my heart's content." I can't imagine how my world would have been a mess if I hadn't known you. Whether I'm proud or frustrated, you're always there for me. ”
"Hey, it doesn't need to be so touching."
"The film I'm going to make this time may cost more than a hundred million dollars, and if it fails, it will definitely cause huge losses to the company. It even collapsed. Sister Xiuxiu, are you willing to accompany me, whether you are chasing dreams and sinking or sailing, follow me, whether you live a wandering life or a bungalow? ”
"What nonsense, I'm willing to help you convince the company executives, don't you understand what I mean!" Lee so-so feigned anger.
"Hehe, isn't this my true feelings, cultivate the atmosphere. Then, Sister Xiuxiu, you should throw yourself into my arms, and then we'll kiss, hehe, isn't it. ”
Li Xiuxiu glanced at her, and then suddenly the landlord Shao Shuaijun's shoulder kissed lightly.
Xu had eaten apples just now, and there was a faint aroma.
The dragonflies receded like water.
Unfolding a smile, Li Xiuxiu cut her hair: "Okay, for the sake of you being so sensational, reward a kiss, conceive your script well, and I'll help you lobby." ”
……
Li Xiuxiu left, and the warmth of the office seemed to be slowly eroded, Shao Shuaijun smiled away, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and tapped it gently. The failure of "The Night Watchman" is an indelible page of history, Shao Shuaijun admits that this is his biggest failure, and he also knows how the outside world ridicules him.
I know more that the people who care about him must be under pressure for him. My parents, my parents, and my sister often called him to talk about his parents' shortcomings, so as to comfort him.
This feeling of being cared for is very wonderful, which makes Shao Shuaijun feel warm and a great burden. Sometimes, he is really not good at expressing his feelings and responding to this kind of concern.
Therefore, he hopes to be able to dispel the haze hanging over his head and return his life to normal. He's still that amazing young director, and he still makes his family and friends proud of him. So where he falls, he has to get up, and he has to conquer Hollywood in order to make everyone forget yesterday's worries.
The failure of "Night Watchman" is not useless, at least he has accumulated a lot of experience in IMAX camera shooting, which is a valuable experience that no one can teach. At the same time, he also figured out the twists and turns of making movies in Hollywood, and he was confident that he was now able to shoot some classic movies more perfectly.
In the reproduction of these blockbusters, he has to shoot with his heart and experience with his heart, and one day he will be truly qualified, instead of directing "The Night Watchman", a bottle that does not shake half a can.
"I seem to remember that once Nolan was interviewed and said that he wrote the script ten years ago, which means that I am shooting now, and I have to solve the problem of the script. I'm going to have to meet Nolan and buy the script from him. I believe that as long as the bid is right, he will be willing to sell, and he has to shoot "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", and he has no time to shoot this script now. ”
After thinking about it, Shao Shuaijun picked up the pen and wrote four big characters on the paper.
Inception. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for pretending to be very cardy, silver ingot mountain people for the reward, thank you for the cloud 55 who wants to fly, and kiss to get a monthly pass that can't be touched.
