0058 【Severity】
February 23, 2005 is the Lantern Festival of the lunar calendar. Shao Shuaijun flew back to China from the United States, accompanied by Li Xiuxiu, Zhao Cheng, Wang Yixue and Ma Huo are still sticking to the final "source code" production. A few days ago, Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong flew to the United States together to discuss the North American release of "Source Code" with Lionsgate.
Therefore, Shao Shuaijun was idle.
"Twilight" and Felix Publishing House, the negotiation is very smooth, the publishing house is very optimistic about the prospects of the book, in full accordance with Shao Shuaijun's idea, using the method of linking sales and profits. Moreover, Felix Publishing House also bought the copyright of the electronic audio and video and comic peripherals of "Twilight".
These copyrights were deliberately left to Stephanie Mayer by Shao Shuaijun to calm her heart and write a better sequel.
Therefore, Li Xiuxiu also has leisure.
As soon as I got off the plane, I saw a large group of reporters gathering outside the departure hall.
"Which celebrity is on a flight with us, and so many reporters are waiting?" Shao Shuaijun asked casually.
"I don't know, we were in business class, and we didn't find any big stars. Could it be that the big star sits in an ordinary cabin? ”
While talking and laughing, the two walked out of the hall and stayed abroad for more than a month, feeling extremely homesick.
Click, click, click!
As soon as I went out, there was a flash in front of me, and then a buzzing sound sounded.
"May I ask Director Shao, as the first mainland director to conquer Hollywood this year, what do you think of the box office of "Buried Alive" winning 21.1 million?"
"May I ask Director Shao, as a new generation of Chinese film directors, your "Buried Alive" has become the box office record of Chinese mainland films in North America, what do you want to say to mainland directors?"
"May I ask Director Shao, do you think domestic films can repeat the model of "Buried Alive", get word of mouth at the Sundance Film Festival, and then get large-scale screenings?"
"According to reliable sources, "Buried Alive" was forced to be painted only three days after its release, and all the box office was fictional, how do you explain Director Shao?"
"May I ask Director Shao, Mr. Wang of Huayi Brothers revealed that "Source Code" has been contacted with Lionsgate, which distributed "Buried Alive", and will be released simultaneously around the world, isn't it?"
"May I ask Mr. Shao, is this beautiful young lady next to you Li Bingbing, and when did you start falling in love?"
"May I ask Miss Li Bingbing, what kind of man do you think your boyfriend Shao Shuaijun is? What do you think of sibling love? ”
"Excuse me......"
"According to reliable sources......"
A burst of bombing almost dizzy Shao Shuaijun, and Li Xiuxiu was even more stunned by the flashing lights. It was almost a minute later that Shao Shuaijun reacted, his itinerary was revealed, no need to think about it, it must be a good thing done by the Propaganda Department of Huayi Brothers, and only they can grasp Shao Shuaijun's itinerary.
blocked the flash, Shao Shuaijun said loudly: "This is the airport, don't be congested, about the North American release of "Buried Alive", you can find a place to ask the person next to me, Ms. Li Xiuxiu, general manager of Shao Shuaijun's studio." As for me, "Crazy Racing" has been completed, and is waiting for me to participate in post-production, say sorry, please let go. ”
At the critical moment, Shao Shuaijun immediately left Li Xiuxiu and got into the Audi car driven by Liu Sanxi. This is a newly bought car from Shao Shuaijun's studio, the driver is Liu Sanxi, and now Liu Sanxi's position is temporarily set as the logistics director of the studio, and his subordinates are Anan and Zebra, as well as his wife, the current chef of the studio.
Ning Hao has already brought the film to China Film for post-production, in fact, there are several post-production companies in Hengdian that are not bad, however, Ning Hao is a director, and he prefers large companies. Calling Ning Hao, Xu Earn and Huang Bo, Shao Shuaijun went back to Shao Shuaijun's studio first. The studio is still too short of people and empty.
The list handed over to Li Xiuxiu last time, no one was found, those are all talents of various majors in Shao Shuaijun's memory, and now they are very down-and-out, I don't know where to nest in that corner and look up at the stars.
"Ah Jun, you are really amazing, "Buried Alive" has won the highest movie box office in North America in our mainland, and the studio's online recruitment information has increased dozens of times at once in the past few days, and many of them are graduates from famous universities who want to come in and work. However, you and Manager Li are not there, and no one will accept it. Brother Xi said excitedly.
"The North American box office champion? Only more than 20 million is the box office champion? ”
"Yes, Sishui has specially checked that in the 15 years from 1989 to 2004, not counting Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are 26 movies in our mainland that have been released in the United States. Approximately 1.7 releases per year, with a total box office revenue of $25.6 million, or an average of $1.71 million per year. "Buried Alive" is almost all over. ”
"Tell me more."
"Well, the highest box office in the past was Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" in '93, which reached $5.2 million. In fact, over the years, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have sung the leading roles, with 9 Zhang Yimou and 4 Chen Kaige, accounting for 50% of the total number of releases. These 13 films grossed a total of $21 million, accounting for 83% of the total box office revenue of mainland films in the United States. The combined box office of the other dozen directors is only $4.6 million, which is not as much as the box office of either Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige. But now with "Buried Alive", it has greatly increased the face of the Chinese people, Ah Jun, you don't know in the United States, you have been crazy here recently, the newspapers are full of your news, and you are said to be Li Yu in the mainland, if you are given a big investment, it will definitely not be worse than the performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Even with it, all the media changed their tunes and praised the "source code", which was much more effective than propaganda. ”
"That's the change?" Shao Shuaijun suddenly felt that he was like the one who was beaten hard in the boxing ring, and was about to muster up the strength to fight back, but the other party opened his mouth to admit defeat. A punch on the cotton, the power is nowhere to be used! I knew that reporters were unrestrained, but I didn't expect that it was only in 2004 that mainland reporters had already learned to be unrestrained. "Isn't that a egg?"
"Not everyone has changed their tunes, and there are still some media who are singing the opposite, especially the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan, who are laughing at the fuss on our side, saying that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a box office of 128 million in North America, which is the strength. Also, I don't know, Ah Jun, you and Feng Xiaogang are both colleagues of Huayi, why did he jump out and say you again. ”
"What do you say about me?"
"Saying that you are grandstanding, "Buried Alive" is simply hugging Lao Mei's thighs and belittling the political axe, so he is liked by Lao Mei."
Shao Shuaijun frowned: "He really said that?" ”
"Well, two days ago, at the celebration banquet of "No Thieves in the World", Sishui and I went to participate as representatives of the studio, and I heard him tell reporters in person. You said this Feng Xiaogang, we didn't offend him, why talk nonsense, this kind of thing can't be spread randomly, if it doesn't make trouble, it will be banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. ”
"Don't think about it, I'll call and ask Mr. Wang." Shao Shuaijun realized the seriousness of the problem, in China, some things cannot be said nonsense, once taken seriously by the above, the consequences are unimaginable.
