"The last one was able to sell $830 million, and the entire Twilight series has reached a total box office of $3.3 billion. No one wants such a movie to end.

Bruce said in a high-spirited manner.
Dream chasing reorganization, he can be regarded as a real boss-level big man, and is currently the CEO of Summit Entertainment Group and the chairman of the board of directors. Of course, the power is also very limited, Dream Chasing Holdings occupies an absolute equity, and wants to change people, a matter of minutes.
August is coming to an end, and the sequel to Summit Entertainment's yet another blockbuster movie, The Expendables 2, has been released.
And this time. On a set in Los Angeles, there was a huge cheer.
"The Women's Federation is finished!"
"Woohoo!"
Champagne spray. represents Shao Shuaijun's fourteenth part, strictly speaking, the thirteenth movie "The Avengers" has been completed. It lasted five months. After more than 100 days and nights, this $200 million investment and an additional $40 million in the production was finally edited into a master tape and handed over to companies such as D2, ILM and Weta Digital to continue post-production.
A few days ago, "Night Watch: Reflection" has been produced, and Shao Shuaijun can rest assured that he can let go.
On August 28, 2011, the 14th China Film Huabiao Awards. The award ceremony was held at the Beijing Exhibition Hall. The Huabiao Awards are held every two years to recognize outstanding films that have been released in China within two years. As a government award, Shao Shuaijun was embarrassed not to go, and the above was interesting enough, giving Shao Shuaijun face and lining. "Old Boy", which was released the year before last, was nominated for three nominations: Outstanding Feature Film, Outstanding Director, and Outstanding Film Music. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was also nominated for Outstanding Translated Film.
In the end, Shao Shuaijun won the Outstanding Feature Film (9 in total), the Outstanding Director Award (Double Yellow Eggs), and the Outstanding Film Music Award. The excellent translated film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" lost to "Avatar". said some nonsense as a testimonial, and ate and bragged with several leaders, ending the award.
After coming back from winning the award, "Life of Pi" also entered the second half of filming, Shao Shuaijun, the producer. Finally, I took on my own job, and together with Li Yu, I studied all the problems encountered in the 3D shooting of "Life of Pi". The difficulty of this part is mainly to shoot sea shots and animal shots.
Filming locations were on the mainland and on the island. Shao Shuaijun's family also moved back to China.
"The elevation and depression angles of this shoot can be used to make a fly's eye angle, and then the setting is replaced with special effects. In this way, the tranquility and serenity of the sea can be revealed. ”
In the world's largest fully automatic wave device tank, a bunch of crew members. Surrounded by Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, they are discussing the issue of 3D photography for capturing the reflection of the water surface. Starring Sula. Sharma in nervous makeup. Because I had to shoot in the water, my makeup was often blurred by the water, so I had to keep touching up my makeup.
"But to shoot a whale jumping out of the water, you have to use some method to imitate the whale out of the water, so that we can make a 3D picture of the whale out of the water." Said a special effects engineer at ILM.
"Let's use the trajectory of the stake out of the water as a guide, okay?" Li Yu asked.
"It's a lot of work, and it's time-consuming and laborious to depict the detailed body posture of the whale and the splashing state of the water surface, and the effect is not necessarily good."
Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "In this way, let's use props to make the state of water, and then use fluorescence to blur the whale, what do you think." Director Li, what do you say, is the whale plated with fluorescence very impactful? ”
"It's a great idea, and once the picture adds a lot of beauty, that's all!" Li Yu said in surprise.
"Life of Pi" is the highlight, and Shao Shuaijun has invested a lot of energy, almost soaking in the filming scene. Discussing with Li Yu and the crew, Li Huan's artistic achievements have brought Shao Shuaijun a lot of thinking, and his business thinking has also infected Li Huan, everyone is together, and there are new harvests every day.
And Li Yu and Shao Shuaijun, the two great directors of the world, also passed on their experience to the Chinese filmmakers around them. Over time, more and more directors came to visit the class, and this is no longer a crew, but a laboratory, and they all participated in the filming, trying to make "Life of Pi" more beautiful.
Supervising the post-production of "The Avengers" and supervising the filming of "Life of Pi", the days are still busy. Time flies, September flies by, "Captain America" is $361 million worldwide, and "The Expendables 2" also surpassed the first part, reaching a box office of $300 million.
Released on September 23, "The Conjuring" directed by Chinese director Wen Ziren topped the weekly championship with $40 million, and the reputation is very good. Since Lionsgate merged into Summit Entertainment, several horror movies have been released, but none of them have achieved such outstanding results.
On September 30, 2011, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu infiltrated the movie theater in Santa Monica.
Today. It was the day when Shao Shuaijun's real debut film "Night Watch: Reflection" was released in North America.
As a remake of a failed product, the attention is not very large.
It is all supported by Shao Shuaijun's current fame. So, the movie did not have a premiere scheduled. There was also no large-scale release. It was released in 2,468 theaters in North America alone.
And today is also Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu, who went to the cinema to watch a movie together for the first time in more than a year, and since they were pregnant, things have been going on, and they have no time at their disposal. Now, the burden has been lifted, and Xiao Shao is gradually getting older, and it is very reassuring to hand it over to his grandparents. The two of them finally returned to the two-person world of the little couple.
"Are you a little nervous?" The movie hasn't started yet. Li Xiuxiu asked while eating popcorn.
Shao Shuaijun shook his head easily: "Fortunately, anyway, they all hit the street, and this time they are also dead horses as live horse doctors, although they are happy to succeed, if they don't succeed, they are just trying to fail." I'm still young, and it's nothing to go through some failures. "This thorn, Shao Shuaijun has tried his best to pick it, if it really fails. It can be regarded as a kind of growth, as he himself said, he is still young, and he has time to polish.
Directed so many blockbuster films. Even if there is a memory cheating in the previous life, after all, it is still directed by him, and a little self-confidence is still built.
Look at "Night Watch: Reflection" again. It's indifferent.
"Anyway, I think I can succeed, come. Husband, open your mouth. Li Xiuxiu said with confidence. Then he grabbed a popcorn and put it in Shao Shuaijun's mouth.
In the flirtation, the movie theater gradually quieted down, and the official release began on the big screen.
After Summit Entertainment's logo, the screen went black, followed by drunken talking and a burst of punching and kicking.
"Isn't this Thomas, who died of his wife, haha, buy drunk here. Yo hoo, take up a few brothers' seats, beat him! ”
After crackling, subtitles slowly appeared on the pitch-black screen.
"Starring, Jack. Gyllen Hill, Kelly. Nest. ”
"Producers, Shao Shuaijun, Mitchell. Bruce, Louis. Lenard. ”
“……”
After the subtitles of the starring and producer appeared, the picture flashed and quickly lit up. Thomas, played by Gyllen Hill, was escorted to prison, and at the door, Thomas smiled gloomily: "I'm a night watchman, you can never lock me up!" ”
The image flashed, and the subtitles resurfaced.
"Director Shao Shuaijun, after four years, is on duty at night, and his reflection returns."
Subsequently, the plot of the movie officially began.
Thomas, played by Gyllen Hill, is curled up on the ground covered in blood, and several thugs are beating him. Thomas held his head in his hands and seemed to be whimpering.
At this time, in the distance of the dim and silent street, I remembered the sound of footsteps of leather shoes touching the ground.
The thugs were still punching and kicking, but Thomas suddenly looked up, saw a figure in a black trench coat, walked by, and then squatted down in front of him, his trench coat was a high collar, and he was wearing a hat, because of the light, only one gloomy eye was exposed.
A hoarse voice from hell came out of the black-clothed man's mouth: "See a mirror in the corner, you can go past it, and after you pass it, no one else can hurt you again!" ”
The camera zooms out, and the thugs are still punching and kicking, but they don't seem to see the man in black. The man in black sounded the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground again in Thomas's confused and cloudy eyes, and gradually faded away. Thomas was stunned, and he didn't know where to muster his strength, and suddenly rushed to the mirror in the corner.
Instead of the imaginary mirror shattering, Thomas was like a ghost, passing over the mirror and disappearing into the eyes of the thugs.
"Damn, Thomas, it's all for him." A few thugs burped and looked hopelessly, and returned to the bar to drink.
The camera is dark, and it seems that a person is opening his eyes and seeing a blurry iron fence.
Some voices from afar seemed to be someone scolding: "What's the matter, whoever told you to fight, be honest with me, go back!" You two, lock me up with this and this! ”
His eyes snapped open...... (To be continued......)
