Cameron has two films, Shao Shuaijun has two films, and the king of the old and new worlds has dominated the box office rankings of the movie! ”

Time magazine reported a piece of news. As of July 3, "Iron Man 3" was officially drawn around the world, setting a number of box office records. Among them, 436.98 million US dollars in North America, surpassing "E.T. Extra-Terrestrial" and becoming the ninth in North American film history. And the global box office has also surpassed "Harry. Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II), becoming the fourth in global film history.

Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, Shao Shuaijun has created two movies with a box office of more than $1 billion, and the brilliant achievements are simply hanging and blowing. Word-of-mouth aside, just from the box office, Christopher. Nolan shook it off. Shao's global box office is now $7.14 billion, second only to Spielberg, who has two more films released and raised his personal record to $8.66 billion.

Spielberg is already seventy or eighty, Shao Shuaijun is not yet thirty years old, and surpassing Spielberg is something that can be done with his eyes closed.

"Shao Shuaijun will be the best commercial director on this planet, no one can match!"

In order to take Shao Shuaijun as the cover character of this issue, "People" magazine described in detail Shao Shuaijun's road to fame, and in less than ten years, there has been an earth-shaking rise. The media's reports on Shao Shuaijun are not new, that is, the story is copied over and over again.

But don't say it. Readers just like to read this kind of story, never get tired of watching it, and all reports related to Shao Shuaijun will increase sales. If you happen to report some of his fresh stories, it's even more amazing, and it will definitely sell out.

Of course, the painting of "Iron Man 3" is nothing new. A small number of media held on to Shao Shuaijun, and most of the media reported on the North American box office battle in this issue.

A global masterpiece, the highly anticipated sequel "Despicable Me 2". A Disney drama of the year. With an investment of $250 million, "The Lone Ranger", everyone thought that it would be an earth-shattering box office battle, and all the films of the same period would die tragically.

A Chinese magic movie with a good reputation. "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" is no exception.

But. There is a word in this world called "unexpected". There are two names called "parallel goods" and "dark horses". Joy is always everywhere and unpredictable.

The small-scale release of "Kevin. Hart: I'm just in charge of laughter", 876 theaters received $10.1 million. made the filmmakers overjoyed. "Superman: Man of Steel" took another $11.01 million in the fourth week, and accumulated $260 million in North America.

"Monsters University", "Doomsday", and "Shocking Crisis" are all in the box office range of one or two million, and "Spicy Police Flower" ranks fourth with $22 million. "Despicable Me 2" is really Universal's masterpiece, with $81.5 million, proud of this week's box office list, as an animated film, the box office is super perfect.

If the above movies are expected, then the second and third places are incomprehensible.

"The Lone Ranger" pitifully only got $27.65 million, with a bad reputation and poor box office, and it is definitely Disney's biggest money-loser this year. Depp, as the most expensive man in Hollywood, can't change the ending of the movie.

"The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" pressed "The Lone Ranger" and got $30.6 million, not only was it not caught in the blockbuster, but it broke through strongly, with a total of $84.7 million at the North American box office, and it is not difficult to break 100 million. So far, the global box office has reached 371 million US dollars, successfully surpassing "Old Boy" and topping the box office champion of Chinese films.

""Despicable Me 2" meets expectations, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" is full of tenacity, and "Lone Ranger" loses money and is humiliating. Chinese movies are temporarily emerging, and Disney has become the biggest loser! - Hollywood Entertainment Reporter.

Just when everyone began to make fun of "The Lone Ranger", wrapped in Xiaoqing's crazy box office power, Golden Harvest Entertainment held a press conference in Hong Kong. The title of the press conference is the full launch of the first phase of the four magic series. A number of Chinese-speaking directors, as well as James. Cameron and other international directors attended the press conference.

The spokesperson is Yang Ying, with a beautiful ponytail: "I am very happy to be here with media friends, this press conference has three themes, the first theme is to congratulate director Chen Jiashang for directing "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake", which has won $371 million at the global box office. Next, I would like to ask Director Chen to say a few words. ”

Chen Jiashang was a little bald, and his round face smiled brightly: "I have been the most proud of my life recently, as a director, others will always compare you with other directors, saying who has won what award, who has bought how much box office the movie has." As a director of the same era as Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, it is a very tragic thing. When it comes to directors who will win awards, everyone is the first to think of Li Yu, and when it comes to the director's good box office, everyone will be the first to think of Shao Shuaijun. ”

"However, now that everyone talks about the box office, I can finally interject, that, the highest-grossing Chinese film in the world, was made by me, not Shao Shuaijun. Hehe, it's really comfortable. Thanks to Director Shao, for inviting me to join the four magic series, in the process of filming, give me a lot of guidance, how to make a movie more in line with the international trend, thank Golden Harvest Entertainment, for providing us with such a good shooting platform, thanks to D2 and ILM and other special effects companies, your hard work in exchange for the success of this movie, thank you to all the audience, your support is the source of our film to shoot good works. ”

"It seems that Director Chen is really happy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth has not disappeared." Yang Ying took over the topic, "Director Chen has thanked so many people, and as an audience, I also want to express my gratitude to Director Chen, you have dedicated a wonderful movie to us...... The second theme is James. Director Cameron, coming to China to direct "Monkey King: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", I would like to invite Director Cameron to speak. ”

Cameron doesn't speak English. "I am very happy to be able to come to China to make a movie, I watched "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake", I think the movie is even more beautiful than I imagined, and I am sincerely honored to be able to participate in this project." I will work with you to do a good job of "Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" and make a great movie. ”

Cameron said very short and didn't mean to say much, Yang Ying made up for the scene and started the third topic.

This theme is about Shao Shuaijun's new movie.

Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "I originally planned to make a movie first, and the name was all set. It's called "The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer". Just wait for Director Chen's movie to make money, and start shooting. But then I thought about it and felt that directly doing the battle of the deer could not portray the image of the Yellow Emperor well. As one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation. The Yellow Emperor carried us Chinese. Lots of reverence. I hope to portray him more fully and humanly. ”

"So, in the end, I decided to shoot from scratch and shoot a trilogy. They tell the growth of the Yellow Emperor, the war between the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, and the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou. The filming will take the form of three consecutive shots to ensure the continuity of the film's style and story. ”

"So, Director Shao, can you tell us about the story that the movie tells in general?" As soon as Shao Shuaijun finished speaking, the reporter couldn't wait to ask questions.

Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "The story of the movie is based on the legend of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and after adaptation, it may be slightly different from the legend. ”

"What's the name of the new trilogy?"

"Tentatively scheduled for the first "Yellow Emperor: The Rise of the Bear", the second "Yellow Emperor: The Battle of Yan and Huang", and the third "Yellow Emperor: Dragon Totem".

"How will the main cast be chosen?"

"The Yellow Emperor trilogy will have a strong magical color, and the characters and animals will be contrary to reality. Therefore, 80% of the film's shots will be created with special effects, and the cost will be very huge. So, my idea is that there is no need for stars, of course, if stars are willing to reduce their salaries to participate in the movie, I am very welcome, and when they see the box office after the release, they may take a red envelope to make up for it. Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.

The influence of Chinese celebrities in the world is too small, there is no difference between inviting and not pending, Shao Shuaijun is not willing to spend money in vain. If a star is willing to reduce his salary, it is worth considering, and if he can become a star, his acting skills must be of a high standard.

The reporters asked questions one after another, but "Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" and the Yellow Emperor trilogy are still in the stage of secrecy, and they have not revealed anything in depth, and the two-hour press conference has passed unconsciously.

Next, Shao Shuaijun officially launched the crew preparation and casting plan of the Yellow Emperor trilogy.

The preparation of the crew was simple, because it was determined very early.

The producers are Shao Shuaijun and James. Cameron and Wang Wei, among which Shao Shuaijun will also serve as the producer of "Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven" for Cameron.

The director of the director group is Shao Shuaijun, the executive director is Gao Zhisheng, the action directors are Dong Wei and Cheng Xiaodong, the assistant directors are Jiang Zhigang and Yang Ying, and the assistant director is Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang. Zhang Mo once directed "No Longer Let You Be Lonely", and the box office was not bad, but then the movie he directed was so-so, this time he came to apprentice.

The photography team is also an old acquaintance, and Huang Yuetai, Lu Le and others who have collaborated with Shao Shuaijun in many movies. The lighting team, props team, and makeup team are all those who have worked together in the past. These people can be said to be Shao Shuaijun's team.

In this shooting, we will cooperate with China Film Group to help the crew in the arrangement of venues and personnel. Moreover, it is not only Dream Chasing Golden Harvest and Summit Entertainment that participate in the capital investment, but also several other domestic film companies. The four magic series are not dreams that can be eaten alone.

Moreover, chasing dreams has also passed the stage of eating alone, and cooperation can be a win-win situation.

But no matter how much capital there is, in the crew, only Shao Shuaijun is the biggest, and everything is Shao Shuaijun's say. This casting is like this, without Shao Shuaijun's consent, even if it is just a small role, others have no right to make a decision. In the past, Shao Shuaiju was still very easy-going, generally a small role, and the decision of the following people was decided.

The Yellow Emperor trilogy is different, in Shao Shuaijun's mind, this will be an epoch-making Chinese drama, and there is no room for a flaw. For every role, Shao Shuaijun has to audition in person. (To be continued......)
