0268 [500 Days Final]
"Susan. Collins, The Hunger Games, Finally Found! Shao Shuaijun was overjoyed, he had been looking forward to this novel for a long time. Like the "Twilight" series, "The Hunger Games" has also been adapted into a series of movies, which have become popular all over the world. The difference is that "The Hunger Games" was adapted into a movie first, which caused the popularity of the novel.
Shao Shuaijun has not studied The Hunger Games, and even the author of the original book does not know who it is, so he has no clue to create "The Hunger Games", so he can only wait slowly. Finally, this "Hunger Games" is still out.
With excitement, Shao Shuaijun called Mitchell.
"Hey, Shao, what's the matter at this late hour?"
"Mitchell, I saw a good book on Amazon called The Hunger Games, you search for it yourself. Then I bought the film adaptation rights, and I may have to shoot this movie in the future, and the sooner I act, the better, I don't want to be robbed by others. ”
"This book is good? Is the film adaptation promising? ”
"Of course, hurry up!"
Mitchell is a qualified businessman and went to contact Susan early the next morning. Collins, after some bargaining, bought the film adaptation rights of "The Hunger Games" and the adaptation rights of the sequel. When the contract was signed, Mitchell handed Shao Shuaijun a set of "The Hunger Games", and Shao Shuaijun knew that another gold mine had entered his pocket.
"Mitchell, this is going to be the next Twilight series, even more profitable than Twilight! This will be our pinnacle entertainment, in the United States. In Hollywood, be the guarantee of being an entertainment giant! ”
"Then we'll see, haha."
……
After harvesting "The Hunger Games", Shao Shuaijun continued to shoot movies with a happy mood, sometimes when he was in a bad mood, everything didn't go well, but when he was in a good mood, it was smooth no matter how he got it. Under this momentum, even Scarlett, the heroine who is not very good at acting, is perfect enough to meet Shao Shuaijun's requirements.
"Scarlett. This shot is very good. After a break, let's move on to the next set. Gordon and Gio Fury prepare. Shao Shuaijun held the horn and drank tea leisurely. This is specially brought from China before the rain Longjing tea, as opposed to coffee. Or the taste of tea to Shao Shuaijun.
Scarlett finishes removing her makeup. Just step aside. Chatted with a couple of actresses. Then when filming started here, I heard loud laughter from there, which mixed up the state of the actors.
Shao Shuaijun glared. Holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "You guys, stay away from laughter, don't disturb my filming!" ”
"Haha, haha." Several women laughed horribly and pointed in this direction.
"Laugh what a laugh!"
Little girl Colo. Moretz, playing Tom's sister, grimaced and exclaimed, "We're laughing at a dude." ”
"What bullshit dude, get me away."
"yes, it's a shit dude."
"Hahahaha." Scarlett and the others couldn't stand up with laughter.
Shao Shuaijun felt that something was wrong, and found that several employees were also snickering, and immediately frowned and asked, "You are all laughing at me?" Am I in trouble? ”
"Director, you should go and look in the mirror." An elderly staff member, kindly said.
Coming to the mirror, Shao Shuaijun finally knew why others were smiling, and the two shiny red lip prints on his face and neck were so bright. Putting the mirror down, Shao Shuaijun raised his eyes and looked at Scarlett, no need to ask, Shao Shuaijun played with her just now, and there was a short kiss scene.
She is the only one who can unconsciously leave lipstick marks on Shao Shuaijun's face.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, what a deal." Shao Shuaijun spread his hands, didn't say anything, washed off the lipstick marks on his face, and continued to direct as if he had nothing to do.
His unangry, completely indifferent attitude made Scarlett restless. Looking at Scarlett's appearance, Shao Shuaijun smiled, tepidly making shooting requirements, reshooting if the shooting was not good, and passing the shooting if it was good, everything was like the calm before the storm.
For Scarlett, at least, it was a more terrifying calm than before the storm.
Shao Shuaijun is really going to get angry, in terms of Scarlett's cheekiness, he doesn't care at all, but the unknown is terrifying. When you are ready to die, death is not suffering, but when you wait left and right and do not die, and you know that death will definitely come, this kind of suffering is not ordinary.
Now this tactic is the tactic implemented by Shao Shuaijun, and the effect is surprisingly good against the overactive Scarlett.
"Fight with me, tsk, you're still a little tender."
Hiding behind the monitor, Shao Shuaijun smiled gloomily.
After filming was over, Scarlett finally couldn't help it and found Shao Shuaijun: "Director, big director, I was wrong, if there is any punishment, just use it." I promise, never make such jokes again, the Chinese are very strict, I know, OK? ”
Raising his eyelids, Shao Shuaijun did not continue to be embarrassed, but scare was inevitable: "I surrendered so soon, I still haven't used a lot of means, forget it, I see that your attitude of admitting your mistakes is still sincere." Let's do it, shoot your scene tomorrow, if you can complete ten sets of shots in one day, you make a joke about me, and just like that. If you can't do it, you know, it's definitely many times worse than today. ”
"I promise to complete the mission!"
"Deal."
The next day's footage, shot in a bar. tells the story of Tom and Summer drinking in a bar, a man comes over to talk, and then argues with Tom, a very funny scene. For this role, Shao Shuaijun deliberately put the general manager of Summit Entertainment, Mitchell. Bruce brought it in, and he felt that Mitchell had the potential to be a perverted man.
"Mitchell, don't be restrained in the next shot, just like how you usually talk in a bar, be natural."
Mitchell blackened his face and whispered, "I never go to a bar!" ”
"Come on, your wife is not here, why hide it. Props, lights, and photography are all ready and let's go! ”
Scarlett and Gordon drinking at the bar. After reading the lines, Mitchell sat down with a glass of wine and looked at Scarlett: "Yo, how are you?" ”
Gordon looked stupidly, and Scarlett reluctantly said, "It's okay." ”
"Do you live around here?"
"Yes, not far."
"I haven't seen you here."
"You're not very observant."
Mitchell laughed: "It's funny, you're funny." ”
Scarlett had an impatient look on her face.
"I'll give you a drink."
"No, thanks."
Gordon wanted to say something next to him, but he didn't say it, which can be shown from here. Gordon was still a little cowardly.
Mitchell looked at Tom with contempt, "Are you with this person?" ”
Gordon then said, "I'm Tom." ”
Mitchell said dismissively, "Whatever." Then he said to Scarlett, "Hurry up." Just one glass, what do you drink? ”
"I said no, thank you."
"Are you serious, for this guy?"
Tom didn't show much courage at Mitchell's provocation. Then Scarlett rushed and said, "Dude." Please be polite. I'm flattered, but I'm not interested, don't bother us if you go away? ”
Mitchell's laugh stiffened. Then he looked at Gordon fiercely: "The United States is a free country. The subtext of this sentence is that he can pursue anyone he wants, and there is another meaning, he is to pursue Shamo in front of Tom. The meaning of provocation is strong.
Gordon tries to make eye contact with Mitchell, but is quickly defeated, and drinks to disguise his cowardice.
After winning Gordon, Mitchell turned away and said, "I can't believe this guy is your boyfriend, haha." ”
Papapapa, Shao Shuaijun shouted: "Card! Perfect, Mitchell, I'll just say, you're born to be a flowery, arrogant and domineering person, and your performance is so perfect, it's just like instinct! ”
Mitchell didn't have a single moment of joy, and continued to black his face: "I repeat, I'm not this kind of person, I'm just an acting school." ”
"Come on, the explanation is to cover up, come on, let's move on to the next set of shots, Gordon, wait a minute you and Mitchell are shaking their fists here, Scarlett, the camera will use your cover to cover up the fight, and Mitchell you stagger a little, and when Gordon's fist grabs over here, you pretend to fall. It's all clear, props, lighting, photography, and group performances, all in place! Begin! ”
Tom, played by Gordon, couldn't stand being ridiculed like this, and finally mustered up the courage to punch Mitchell. Then he wanted to pretend to smile at Sha Mo as if nothing had happened, and behave a little more manly. However, before he could speak, Mitchell, who fell to the ground, would knock him out with a punch.
The filming went smoothly, but Mitchell, who was praised by Shao Shuaijun, didn't seem excited at all, and spent money for a dinner, trying to let everyone understand that he was good at acting and not familiar with it......
When the middle of April arrived, the last shot ended, and "500 Days with Sammo" was finished.
It was originally a simple movie, with no special effects and no action scenes, and even the scenes were only a few rooms and parks, and the shooting was very fast.
After shouting "finishing", Shao Shuaijun looked at the jubilant crowd, picked up the loudspeaker and signaled everyone to be quiet, with one hand behind his back, he had something to say: "Every time a drama is finished, there will be an inexplicable excitement and sentimentality, and a crew is like a big family." In this more than a month, we have been talking and laughing together, researching together, and working together for a goal. I would like to say thank you to all of you for making the filming so smooth and the shots perfect. ”
"I want to thank the cinematographer, the prop master, the lighting engineer, the sound recorder, everyone else, you are behind the scenes, and half of the credit for the film belongs to you. The remaining half belongs to the actors, to Gio Fury. Arend, Clark. Greg, Patricia. Belcher, Rachel. Boston, Minka. Kelly, Colo. Moretz, Matthew. Gray. Gubl and others also belong to Joseph. Gordon. Levitt and Scarlett. Johnson. ”
Everyone shouted: "The same belongs to you, director!" ”
Shao Shuaijun put down the horn, then walked into the crowd and looked at Scarlett: "Scarlett, I've always had a headache for you, and in the entire crew, you are the only one who ignores my authority." But I still want to thank you for adding infinite joy to the crew, so, this, dedicated to you! ”
After speaking, Shao Shuaijun suddenly stretched out his hand behind his back, and a bottle of champagne that had been loosened in his hand was released. He shook it suddenly, then pulled out the stopper and spewed champagne at Scarlett Johansson like a fountain. It was the middle of April, the weather was getting hotter, and Scarlett was wearing a single dress.
Caught off guard, Scarlett screamed, and then she was wet all over, outlining her perfect body. Of course, his face was embarrassed, and his hair was wet with champagne and stuck to his face.
"Hahahaha!" Shao Shuaijun ran away with the empty bottle, "Scarlett, this is my revenge for your atrocities for more than a month!" ”
"Ahh I'm going to kill you, Chinese Shao! Scarlett shouted, grabbing a bottle of champagne from the table, which had been prepared long ago. and then chased Shao Shuai's crew.
"Just your little short legs, chase me and talk about it!" Shao Shuaijun was mercilessly sarcastic.
Gordon also shouted: "Guys, what are you waiting for, let's go together!" ”
For a while, the champagne was mixed with sweat, and the lipstick was the same color as the foundation.
Of course, there is also the photographer's plea: "Hey, be careful, don't spill it on my camera!" Hey, you pay attention to me, you're responsible for the drenching! ”
Then, the crew of "500 Days with Shamo" was disbanded like this, parting in laughter and reluctant in joy. Shao Shuaijun was covered in champagne and sent away every cast and crew who were full of wine and food. Then take a shower and sleep, welcome the new day, the task of others is over, and he has to participate in the editing and production of post-production.
It took a week for Shao Shuaijun to edit "500 Days with Shamo" and handed it over to Mitchell to follow up the follow-up production and publicity, and Shao Shuaijun returned to China. It's the beginning of May, the shadow of summer has arrived, and in a month's time, he will be twenty-two years old.
This birthday, he has to plan carefully, not to celebrate his birthday, but to propose. Then take Li Xiuxiu and travel around the world once in this summer vacation. Of course, before that, he also needs to deal with the various reports and documents that the company has piled up.
The company's recent expenditures are relatively large, and Shao Shuaijun's final decision is needed.
This includes, last year, Shao Shuaijun confessed to the acquisition and development of games. Shao Shuaijun's most concerned games were finally won through various means. Among them, $10 million was a wholly-owned acquisition of Riot-Games in the United States, which is developing the LOL "League of Legends".
The other is a $12 million wholly owned acquisition of South Korea's Smile-Gate, which has just developed CF Crossfire. At the same time, it also bought part of the copyright of "Crossfire" in the hands of South Korea's Neowiz-Games for $4 million, so that CF also completely fell into the hands of Dream Chasing Entertainment.
Another big acquisition was the $100 million acquisition of the South Korean company Neople, which is owned by DNF's Dungeons & Warriors. However, it was developed in 2005 and has become popular in South Korea, so the acquisition is troublesome and costly.
Originally, these games should have fallen into the hands of the penguin company in 08, but with Shao Shuaijun, the penguins were unlucky, and the three old hens that laid eggs flew. Under the Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, there is another company with unlimited future, Dream Chasing Game Company.
May, is walking towards the middle of the month...... (To be continued......)
