0264 [No Man's Land Release]
"Well, I'm not acting better than Alan." Scarlett regained her previous image and threw a wink.
Ignoring Scarlett's wink, Shao Shuaijun said, "I must admit that you are indeed better than Allen, well, I think I have made a choice." Congratulations, Scarlett, this script is for the heroine, you take it back and figure it out, we will start filming in a few days, and if you don't perform as well as you do today, I think I'll regret it. ”
"You made the right choice." As soon as she pulled over the script, Scarlett laughed, as if she had done something great.
"I've never seen you act so well except in "Escape from Clone Island". It's amazing, okay, restrain your smile, I'm going to talk to Alan. ”
To be honest, if the acting skills are also up to standard, between Scarlett and Allen, Shao Shuaijun will definitely choose Scarlett. Allen is more recognized for his acting skills, and when it comes to the attraction to men and the help to the box office, Scarlett is better.
Seeing that Alan was looking through the impurities, Shao Shuaijun said embarrassedly: "Allen, your performance is very exciting, with such acting skills, you will be the future star of Hollywood, ......"
Alun put down the magazine and put his hands in his trouser pockets: "Shao, are you Chinese all like you, too shy?" Scarlett was acting better than me, and I knew I wasn't doing a good job just now. You just say it. It's just right, I can relax, and I don't need to be in such a hurry to film. ”
"Hehe, we call it subtlety."
"So. Congratulations Scarlett, it's been a pleasure to work with Shao. Well, I'll go first, and I'll have coffee together when I have time. ”
Hugging Shao Shuaijun and Scarlett, Alan walked away lightly.
Scarlett clenched her fist in victory.
"As for it, it's just a character?"
"You don't know, I just want to prove that I'm Scarlett not a vase, and I also have acting skills. Oh. By the way. If you want to experience the warmth of an American girl, call me directly. I've been single lately. ”
With a click, Scarlett gave Shao Shuaijun a foreigner-exclusive kiss goodbye.
When Scarlett walked away, Shao Shuaijun scratched his head. muttered to himself, "Didn't you say that you had a hot fight with Gyllenhill." How. Separated so soon? ”
Wiping his kissed face, Shao Shuaijun blew his hair upward.
So, "500 Days with Shamo". The preparations went well.
Two days later, the crew and actors had all been confirmed and the contract was signed. Then, Summit Entertainment released the news that Shao Shuaijun's eighth movie was officially launched, and the publicity was also carried out simultaneously. At the end of February, Shao Shuaijun took care of some trivial matters and returned to China.
After accepting the lessons of the previous times, Shao Shuaijun's itinerary is all carried out in secret, without alarming anyone, and he has come to Hong Kong. In the past two days, Dream Chasing Golden Harvest has been busy with financing matters, and Li Xiuxiu, as the general manager of Dream Chasing Entertainment, naturally wants to sit in Hong Kong, so Shao Shuaijun transferred to Hong Kong to meet Li Xiuxiu.
"Wife, I've worked hard for you, I've lost a lot of weight, I'll make up for you tonight......"
With Shao Shuaijun, Li Xiuxiu will always cook dinner or breakfast by herself, but now, she can only find time to eat in a restaurant, and has no time to cook by herself. However, although Shao Shuaijun prefers to eat Li Xiuxiu's cooking, it doesn't matter if he comes to the restaurant for dinner occasionally.
"Oh, I've been busy with your company's business lately, and I'm going to get dark circles under my eyes. And you, this guy, run outside all day long, and you don't ask about the company at all. Is this company yours or not? Li Xiuxiu wrinkled her nose and complained.
Shao Shuaijun peeled a lobster for Li Xiuxiu, and said with a smile: "Isn't mine yours, wife, come, eat lobster." ”
"Hmph, your mouth is so sweet. Hey, what about the yacht you bought me, a yacht of dollars and jewelry, and you came to see me empty-handed? ”
"I said I would drive a yacht to marry you, you are in a hurry to get a yacht now, are you in a hurry to marry me now?" Shao Shuaijun smiled obscenely, "Yesterday my mother called me and asked when we would get married and have a child. She is no longer interested in teaching and educating people, so she fantasizes about holding her grandson. My sister is still far away, and now she is counting on me. Sister Xiuxiu, let's get married and have children, right? ”
"Whoever wants to give you a baby, eat your chicken legs." Li Xiuxiu replied embarrassedly and angrily, her face was red, and she looked tempting and anxious.
"Hehe, wife, you are so beautiful."
Shao Shuaijun had thought a lot about why he liked Li Xiuxiu before.
Speaking of which, there are many women in this world who have a better figure and good looks than Li Xiuxiu, like Scarlett who has a devil body and Liu Yifei who has an angel face. Others, such as Master Liu's quiet and cute, Yang Ying's sexy and charming, as well as Fan Ye's domineering melon seed face, Zhou Xun's big-eyed innocence, and so on.
Not too many beautiful women.
However, except for Liu Yifei, who once made Shao Shuaijun's heart move, and then disappeared in time, no woman gave him the feeling of wanting to be together and forming a family. By Li Xiuxiu's side, Shao Shuaijun always had a sense of stability and warmth, as if this was a harbor that could be relied on and sheltered from the wind and rain.
If he had been on the streets of Phoenix that day, it would have been another woman who accompanied him to see the "Source Code" poster.
If he was in Jiuzhaigou Town that day, it was another woman who helped him make the bed and fold the quilt.
If he was in a Hollywood movie theater that day, it would have been another woman who accompanied him to watch "The Night Watchman" over and over again.
If, if.
Shao Shuaijun didn't know the answer to all this, and he didn't want to know.
Now, he feels happy.
Simple, welcoming.
That's how it feels.
That's enough.
Two people can go on hand in hand, why should they ask too much in life?
Eating, giggling and laughing, different from the imagined romance, but also full of romance.
"Shall we get married?" Shao Shuaijun suddenly raised his head and said firmly and deeply.
"Huh?" Li Xiuxiu was caught off guard. Startled, "Hey, are you proposing to me?" ”
"Yes, sort of."
"Hey, hey, what is it, this idea is not sincere enough, I won't marry."
"So what?"
Shao Shuaijun said, suddenly got up from his seat, came to Li Xiuxiu's side, and knelt on one knee: "Li Xiuxiu." Marry me. ”
Li Xiuxiu smiled very sweetly: "Uh-huh." Do you still have any shortcomings? ”
"What?"
"Ring, stupid!"
"Oh, this, didn't I give you one last time?"
"Hey, hey, hey. Didn't you say you wanted to change to a big diamond ring? ”
"But it's good if you say it's small."
"The words of the woman. Do you dare to take it seriously? ”
"This ...... All right. I'll buy it for you tomorrow. Let's owe it first. So, now, I'm up like this. Isn't it a special decline, the marriage proposal actually failed? ”
Li Xiuxiu laughed: "What if, I said I promised to marry you?" ”
"Oh also!" Shao Shuaijun directly hugged Li Xiuxiu, "I knew that with my charm, hehe, proposing marriage is not a piece of cake." ”
"Let me come down and eat. Also, I just agreed, can you marry me? What about yachts, diamond rings, and is the age on your household registration book up to the line? ”
"Well, there will be this."
Li Xiuxiu rewarded Shao Shuaijun with a pair of white eyes: "Then, just wait for you to get on the line, and propose to me again, otherwise, don't want me to marry you." Also, if the proposal scene was so shabby, I wouldn't say yes again. ”
"Understood, understood!"
After dinner, head back to the hotel.
Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and after a night of lingering, the two fell asleep. The next morning, Li Xiuxiu got up, and she still needed to rush to the company to preside over the listing meeting. Shao Shuaijun slept until more than nine o'clock before asking his assistant to buy a ticket and fly to the capital. Ning Hao, who received the news, went to the airport to pick up the plane in person, and then called Huang Bo, Wang Yixue and other old brothers to have a good drink.
"Lao Ning, "No Man's Land" will be released tomorrow, are you confident?"
"It depends on how you define confidence, if you compare it with "Inception", there is no confidence at all, but compared with domestic movies, compared with this schedule, my confidence is still very sufficient. The only thing that I am not happy about is that there is a lot of positive energy added to it. Ning Hao drank and shook his head.
Yue Xiaojun said: "Originally, we were going to shoot a road movie far away from the city, and we wanted to strip off the civilized coat in the city and watch them become animals. From Huang Bo's appearance to his death, it is definitely comparable to the texture of "No Country for Old Men", all the characters are put together 'everyone is equal'. You can only obey the laws of animals, and all social halos are invalid. However, radio and television were banned, and some positive energy was remade, and I felt the perfection of the film, so I went down. ”
"I've read the script, but I haven't seen the revisions, what's the matter, how much has been changed?"
"There is more narration at the beginning, telling the story of two monkeys. At the end, there was a little more dialogue, and then a lot of violent scenes were deleted. Originally, both policemen died, but now the other policeman is not dead, and then the dancer not only returned to the city, but also had a bright career. ”
Shao Shuaijun sighed: "I don't know if the movie is better if it is changed like this, but to be honest, in this way, the final ending is not shocking enough and the injury is not thorough enough." Forget it, wait for the premiere tomorrow, and I'll analyze it after watching it. ”
"Radio and television are fucking up."
"Forget it, fortunately, chasing dreams is tough enough now, otherwise let alone change, even the release will be a problem."
After drinking, they dispersed, and the next day, the premiere of the no-man's land was held in Wanda CBD Cinema. As a movie that takes over "Inception", the schedule is not very favorable, but the competition is also a little smaller, there are no good movies released recently, as long as the reputation is good, it is not difficult to get a high box office.
Chinese's holiday consumption concept is different from that of Europe and the United States. In Europe and the United States, it is generally spent on holidays, but China is not particularly prominent. Europe and the United States pay attention to weekend box office, summer files, and Christmas files, but in China, this concept is very weak, and the Chinese New Year files have only been copied in recent years, and there is no schedule at all.
So, when it will be released is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the movie is good.
Ning Hao is also a very famous director in the mainland, and with the strong appeal of Dream Chasing Entertainment, this premiere is really starry. Star directors from all walks of life and veterans in the film industry appeared one after another, and the reporters who came to the scene for interviews were busy. When Shao Shuaijun arrived, it set off a storm.
"Director Shao, look here."
"Look here, Director Shao!"
Click, click, flash.
"Inception" is a global hit, with four Oscar awards, and as a director, Shao Shuaijun has reached the ranks of top Chinese directors. Dream Chasing Entertainment Group is multinational, Dream Chasing Jiahe is preparing to go public for financing, Summit Entertainment is also IPO, assets have been skyrocketing, as a businessman, Shao Shuaijun has also reached the ranks of the richest man.
The most enviable thing is that Shao Shuaijun is only twenty-two years old now.
There are a series of titles such as the top ten outstanding young people in the country, the deputy to the National People's Congress, the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs, etc., which are too many to count, and Shao Shuaijun himself does not know when he will have one more title. For example, the country's outstanding philanthropists, outstanding literary and artistic workers, and so on.
He is already the most typical representative of the Chinese dream.
Chinese pay attention to the set of talented and beautiful people, if they simply make money, at most they are called nouveau riche. But Shao Shuaijun can make movies and make money, this is different, this is the object of dreams.
In the flash, Shao Shuaijun didn't show any smile, walked over quickly, signed his name on the huge poster in front of the door, and then went to the arranged seat in the cinema to sit down. In his film, he is either the director or the CEO, and his identity is the highest, even if the society moves forward and is democratic, this identity gap is still indispensable everywhere.
"Mr. Shao went to the United States for a while, and the momentum was different, the golden light was shining, and he felt like a little golden man flickering no matter how far away he was." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang laughed, can you see the little golden man from me? I went around and watched others win awards, but I didn't even touch them. ”
"Now I feel that we are all going to look up to Director Shao Da, and we will shoot in China, which is neither applauded nor popular. When you're making a movie in Hollywood, people all over the world applaud, and I really want to try it. Wang Xiaoshuai said that as a director of the literary route, Wang Xiaoshuai has also worked hard for many years, and he has a bit of prestige in literature and art, but it is nonsense at the box office.
"It's the same wherever a movie is made, in fact, it's nothing more than a question of audience. When making a film in Hollywood, there is a warm-up in the North American market, as long as it meets the taste of Lao Mei, it basically makes money at the box office. If you make a movie in China, if you don't have a way to rush out, you won't be able to play with a big cost. ”
"Foreigners' money is easy to make, but it also depends on ability, how many movies are produced in China every year, and how many people can be released overseas. In your own country, you may not be able to release it. Wang Xiaoshuai was a little angry when he said it, the domestic environment is often like this, as soon as it is a literary film, the cinema refuses to release it, which causes great confusion to them, the directors.
Therefore, Shao Shuaijun has always insisted on commercial films to promote the market, so as to revitalize the entire film market, rather than literary films not being released, and commercial films have been criticized. Of course, this knot is not something that Shao Shuaijun can change by himself, and it needs to be changed slowly.
Chatting, the movie began to be released. (To be continued......)
