In view of the recent limelight of Dream Chasing Entertainment, this celebration banquet did not invite guests, that is, the main creators were invited, plus some popular stars and a small number of media. Shao Shuaijun just came out to break the ice sculpture with the main creators when he was breaking the ice, and then hid in the box without being interviewed.

As soon as he shows up now, the media will definitely ask him about his worth, last year's richest man only had a net worth of more than 30 billion, and this year he will definitely lock in the top ten ranks of the Hurun Report, which was listed in October. The richer you are, the more low-key you are, this is the truth that Shao Shuaijun insists on, and he must keep his worth secret.

Others can speculate wildly, but if he reveals himself, he will definitely be envied. Especially as a rich man, tens of billions of dollars can only be regarded as a rich man on the surface, and the real rich are hidden behind the media, and without hundreds of billions of assets, they are embarrassed to call themselves invisible rich.

The reason why this celebration banquet is held tonight is actually that Shao Shuaijun wants to distribute red envelopes to the crew of "Inception". This is a form of encouragement to show Shao Shuaijun's generosity and the producer's generosity, and when there is a good reputation, the staff is naturally willing to cooperate with the generous company and boss.

The staff of the crew, who had free time, all went to China, and then happily accepted the red envelopes issued by Mitchell and Wang Wei on behalf of the company in front of the camera one by one. This time, 30 million US dollars was really taken out to give out red envelopes, and 10 million is the old rule, which was remitted to the Dream Chasing Public Welfare Fund for public welfare.

10 million is for the actors of the crew, and 10 million is for the staff of the crew. Let the cast and crew continue to promote in front of the camera. Shao Shuaijun was in the box and discussed with several members of the Youth Directors League about investing in films. Night. Shop" and "Beautiful Life" are both movies recommended by Shao Shuaijun, Shao Shuaijun's meaning is very simple, if the committee members disagree, he will use his dream to invest, and if he agrees, it is better, and it is more meaningful to use the Youth Guide League to promote.

With Shao Shuaijun's recommendation, the committee members will not feel uncomfortable. Naturally, they all agreed.

A happy situation for all.

Shao Shuaijun did not stop. On March 6, he flew to Hong Kong, fought with Li Xiuxiu for a while, and flew to the United States. "500 Days with Shamo" is about to start.

……

"Shao, congratulations on becoming the youngest richest man in China." On the sunny sands of Santa Monica. Shao Shuaijun looked at the busy arrangement of the crew in the distance. Interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter. The interviewer is a blonde cutie. Winster, who is also an acquaintance, has a good cooperation with Summit Entertainment.

"Thank you."

Winster asked, "After the success of Inception." Many people think that you will make persistent efforts to shoot a big production, and suddenly you have to shoot a low-budget literary film, which is unexpected by many people. As if you say you want to relax yourself, why don't you take a break for a while and still rush to shoot? ”

The March sun was very warm, and Shao Shuaijun smiled: "I have a lot of ideas now that I want to express, and I think that when I was young, I could shoot a little more." When I have a family in the future, I hope to spend more time with my family. ”

"I see you have a ring on your hand, do you already have a partner?"

"Yes." Shao Shuaijun generously admitted it, and also showed off the ring, "We have been together for almost four years. ”

"Can you tell us who you're dealing with?"

"General Manager of Dream Chasing Entertainment, my virtuous helper, hehe."

"Wow, do you have a plan for when you will get married?"

"I don't know about this yet."

Winster had a look that he had already expected, in fact, basically everyone knew about Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu, and there were reports on the gossip. After all, both of them are young, and they run Dream Chasing Entertainment together, Shao Shuaijun can rest assured that he will hand over the power to Li Xiuxiu, how can it be without a little bit of greasy.

It's just that the media didn't pay much attention to it before, after all, Shao Shuaijun is an honest child, there are no scandals, and everyone rarely speculates about this aspect.

After chatting for a few words, Shao Shuaijun didn't want to say more, he just showed his emotions, which was also a kind of honesty and respect for Li Xiuxiu. But he doesn't like to show off his affection everywhere, and he wants to protect Lee so-so from excessive media attention.

Soon we talked about the movie.

"Can you tell us a little bit about what "500 Days with Shamo" says? Advertised as 'telling a love story' instead of a 'love story'? ”

"Hehe, in fact, this is a very interesting story, the reason why I don't say it's a love story is because when it happens, there is no love. Just use the 500 days of the story to talk about what the essence of love is. ”

"Wow, it's mysterious. Now there is a saying that you once made a Chinese movie "33 Days of Broken Love", but it was not released in the United States, and many young people in the United States searched for it after "Inception" and thought it was very interesting. So is this an American version of "33 Days of Broken Love"? ”

Shao Shuaijun shook his head: "The stories are different, but they are all small and clear tastes." "500 Days with Shamo" should be a different focus of excavation, I want to say in "33 Days of Broken Love" that love is everywhere, here, I want to say what love is. ”

"I heard you're in Allen. Peggy and Scarlett. Johnson chose the heroine, what made you choose Scarlett? ”

Shao Shuaijun pondered it and said: "These two people are my friends, we worked well together in "Inception", and their acting skills are very good, which is a difficult thing to choose." However, Allen's schedule is not very ideal, she has already taken on another play, and the timing may not be very staggered. ”

"So what made you choose Joseph. Gordon. Levitt? ”

"Temperament, I feel that Gordon is very suitable for the actor Tom."

“…… Time flies so fast, and finally I want to ask, Director Shao, you have always claimed to be a commercial director, although this is a small and fresh literary film, you must have intentions at the box office, what are your expectations for "500 Days with Shamo"? ”

"I don't know. I rarely predict the box office, as a director, you only need to shoot the story well, the box office is caused by factors such as subject matter, time, publicity, etc., it is difficult to predict specifically. I thought that if the audience could find resonance in this story and be willing to go through this journey with the protagonist, I would have achieved what I wanted to do with this film. ”

"Well, thank you very much Director Shao for being able to accept the interview with "Hollywood Entertainment Report" and not bother you to make a movie. Thank you. ”

Sent off the journalists. Shao Shuaijun felt a great sigh of relief.

In fact, he doesn't like to be interviewed, but sometimes he has to do it. As a director, even the Wachowski siblings never give interviews in private. This pair of reclusive directors who have filmed "The Matrix". In the filming and promotion of the film. also had to appear in front of the media to do publicity.

Movies are for people to see, and if you want people to go to the cinema to watch them, you have to make them interested in going in and watching them.

Shao Shuaijun is very satisfied now. Take an interview from time to time and deal with it for a while. Instead of being exposed to flash all day.

This gives him more time to think and sort things out.

The noon sun gives people a slightly hot feeling, winter has passed, and another gorgeous summer is coming. The crew chose to shoot in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, which is convenient and simple in terms of accommodation and transportation. In fact, the footage to be taken now is in Mitchell's private villa.

Of course, Shao Shuaijun also has a villa, but his is newly renovated and he is reluctant to contribute, so it was Mitchell's turn to be unlucky. Fortunately, he also has more than one house, and he took his wife and children to the big city of Los Angeles.

"Gordon, Scarlett, come here, I'll talk to you about the show."

Shao Shuaijun entered the villa, went to the sofa, called Gordon and Scarlett, and began to explain the shots to be shot today. When Scarlett finished her makeup and came over, Shao Shuaijun took a closer look and shook his head: "Scarlett, it's time for you to lose weight, your current plumpness doesn't match the character I imagined." ”

"Why, I feel like I'm Shamo, I've found her feelings." Scarlett glanced at her figure and protested. She has always been very confident in her figure, and although Hollywood is beautiful for being thin, she still insists on her self-confidence.

There are many tall actresses in Hollywood, but Scarlett is not, she is only 160cm, so she looks a little plump. This may also be the reason why Shao Shuaijun chose her to play in "Inception", being too tall will put pressure on Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun has always believed that women are like Allen. Peggy's 155cm is already good, so there's no need to grow too tall.

Although, sometimes height represents a sense of conquest.

Regarding Scarlett's blind confidence, Shao Shuaijun said disdainfully: "Sha Mo has never been a very hot girl, you look at you, your chest is like a sponge pad, I don't think I see a fresh breath when I see you, you will put pressure on the female audience." So ......"

Shao Shuaijun turned his head and shouted to the makeup artist: "Makeup artist, come here." ”

"Director, what's the matter?"

"Is there a strip of cloth that can be tied up to make Scarlett look like her breasts don't protrude so much?"

Scarlett suddenly exploded: "It's impossible, I won't make a move that damages my chest, China Shao, you can't make such an unreasonable request." ”

Shao Shuaijun was speechless: "I'm thinking about the movie, as an actor, you need to be dedicated, Scarlett." ”

"I never!"

Gordon wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, and quietly turned his head, he hadn't seen the director who didn't want female stars to have chests.

The makeup artist is an aunt, and she kindly said: "Actually, you don't have to tie it with strips of cloth, you can cover up the past by doing some tailoring at the clothing manufacturer." ”

"Yes, you can cut the garment." Scarlett said busily.

Shao Shuaijun clasped his hands to his chest and thought: "As long as you promise to lose weight from today onwards and make yourself look thinner, instead of continuing to gain weight, I can agree." ”

"Don't worry, director, I'm very professional, from today onwards, I only eat three meals a day."

"Only three meals?" Shao Shuaijun was surprised at first, and then returned to indifference, the star's schedule and rest time led to the fact that they may have an extra supper, especially the star with rich nightlife, "No matter how much you eat, weight loss has to be carried out, and there are many scenes in the back, not too fat will affect the picture sense of the camera!" ”

"You're just ...... fat," Scarlett complained powerlessly.

The crew just started filming, and neither the progress nor the shooting effect was very good.

If it had been placed in the past, Shao Shuaijun would definitely have to play his subwoofer function and bombard the cast and crew. However, "500 Days with Shamo" was originally relaxed, Shao Shuaijun didn't urge much, and overall, the shooting was still very pleasant.

filmed during the day, called and whispered to Li Xiuxiu at night, and the days passed quickly for a few days. At this time, an interesting list of the 2008 Forbes China Celebrity List was announced in Beijing, and almost all the artists and stars under Dream Chasing Entertainment were on the list.

The highest ranked is Sun Li, who won the title of "Harem. The popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" killed all the first-line actresses in seconds, ranking fifth on the list. Li Bingbing squeezed into the tenth place by virtue of appearing on the most covers. Liu Shishi, Wen Zhang, Huang Bo, Xu Earn, Deng Zhao and others all made it to the top 50, while others were in the top 100.

Shao Shuaijun is also on the list, ranking 63rd, in fact, he was also on the list last year, in the 40th. The reason why he regressed was because of the slump of "Night Watchman" and the loss of awards throughout March 07 to March 08, which led to his low income and exposure.

Although "Inception" is popular, and the director of the box office alone has more than 300 million, it can only be counted in the next celebrity list.

The celebrity list only calculates the exposure rate and acting income of public figures, which includes actors' salaries, endorsements, commercial activity fees, etc., and does not include income such as investment. Shao Shuaijun never advertises, rarely appears on shows, and his calculated income is only the director's fee, which is why the ranking is not high.

Among Chinese directors, Zhang Yimou devoted himself to directing the Olympics this year, but relied on endorsements and program interviews, ranking 24th, and Feng Xiaogang ranked 46th. It can be seen that the director is not a celebrity, even Shao Shuaijun, who has been promoted to an international director, has to be pressed on the head by more than 60 stars......

Of course, if it is about value and status, there is no comparison, and Shao Shuaijun's absolute combat effectiveness is off the charts.

The celebrity list is just a joke, the accuracy of the calculation is very low, Shao Shuaijun didn't care, just took it out and had fun. Subsequently, he continued to devote himself to filming. Now he can count the money leisurely while filming, and the total assets of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group are increasing every day, which feels good.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is mid-March, and most of the filming progress is completed.

And the global box office of "Inception" officially closed, with $922.5 million, finally surpassing the $921.4 million of "Finding Nemo" and squeezing into the top ten in the world. This data directly increased the highest box office record of Chinese directors by as much as 400 million US dollars.

When "Painted Skin" was painted, the media raised a question: "How long will it take for Shao Shuaijun to surpass Wu Yusen and become the box office champion of Chinese directors." ”

Now, a perfect answer sheet is handed in.

Two years! (To be continued......)
