“…… I just want to start making a movie that is a big hit at the box office......" Shao Shuaijun said loudly, his tone was not high, but no one doubted how strong the confidence was.

"I started paying attention to movies from 02, I remember that Zhang Yimou directed "Hero", which was huge, with an unprecedented box office of 250 million. But the annual box office, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" 59 million, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" 56.2 million, "Star Wars Prequel 2: Attack of the Clones" 45 million, and "Spider-Man" 41 million, occupy four of the top five seats.

In 03, Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Phone" led the way with 56 million, followed by "Harry Potter: The Vanishing Chamber of Secrets" with 52 million, "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" with 43 million, and "The Matrix 3: The Last Battle" with 43 million among the top four.

This year, "Ambush on All Sides" and "Crazy Stone" are temporarily ranked first or two, followed by "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" 8630, "The Day After Tomorrow" 82.5 million, "Troy" 64 million, and "Spider-Man 2" 50 million next to each other.

Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters have begun to occupy the market for Chinese-language films, and now we can interfere a little in the film arrangement. But this kind of protectionism cannot exist forever, and Chinese films will eventually have to compete head-to-head with Hollywood blockbusters, what do we face?

Literary films, or martial arts films?

How many people are still watching it now?

Small-budget comedies can be further promoted, but what influence do they have internationally?

Hollywood blockbusters, especially sci-fi blockbusters, are sent here in batches, and once the taste of the market is assimilated, we are powerless to parry, and we can only watch others make money from us. To put it bluntly, Hollywood's science fiction movies are ten years ahead of us in terms of ideas and special effects!

We can't kill this kind of sprout, so we can only learn from each other's strengths, increase our strengths, and then gain the recognition of foreign audiences. We can't make our money, but we can only stare at it. For these reasons, I decided to make a sci-fi movie, a sci-fi movie that doesn't mix with mess, which is my personal ambition. ”

The words are beautiful, but the media obviously doesn't buy it: "Director Shao, so, are you taking investors' money and taking it for granted to do your own thing?" The movie is losing money, will you think about anything to attack the United States? Director Shao shouldn't have just finished reading the account book of "Crazy Stone" and hasn't come back to his senses, right? ”

"Haha." There was a lot of laughter and sarcasm.

Shao Shuaijun squinted slightly, and saw clearly the reporter who spoke, the reporter of "Next Magazine", secretly remembered it in his heart.

"Winners can see the light ahead, and losers care about the thorns in front of them." Shao Shuaijun dragged a sentence.

"Director Shao, it's hard for me to find out where your confidence comes from, we have countless big directors in Hong Kong, but no one dares to make science fiction films to make money. You just made a plagiarized comedy in the mainland, this kind of film, we in Hong Kong have to make countless films every year, how can you be confident that you have the ability to make science fiction films? ”

"Mr. Wang, I am deeply worried about your investment this time. Investing in an unknown director, or investing more than 100 million yuan, is this a stupid choice for Huayi Brothers. Mr. Stephens, does Tom Group regret acquiring Huayi's shares now? ”

"Director Shao, can you explain to us, why is a newcomer so confident? Have you ever won an Academy Award? Have you ever won the Golden Horse Award? Or the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award in the mainland? As far as I know, you're only eighteen years old now, you haven't been to college, do you know what the word science fiction means? ”

"In the good faith of media people, I want to tell Director Shao that when making movies, especially science fiction movies, don't touch them if you don't have the skills. Otherwise, it's a disaster, a disaster that will knock you back into your mother's womb. ”

"It is said that Huayi Brothers is a big film company in the mainland, and there are plans to go public in the future, but judging from this action, the two Mr. Wang, do you think Huayi Brothers is qualified to be listed for the benefit of shareholders? At least the most Hong Kong citizen, I am not optimistic about director Shao Shuaijun, if you really want to shoot, our Hong Kong director Liu Zhenwei will be a good choice, why don't Mr. Wang consider it? ”

"Shao Dao ......"

"Mr. Wang......"

On the stage, the faces of Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Shao Shuaijun became more and more ugly. The words of these reporters, especially those in Hong Kong, although they did not contain half a dirty word, but the kind of arrogance that looked down on others and the tone full of sarcasm simply treated Huayi Brothers and Shao Shuaijun as fools.

This may no longer be a problem of a movie, but the xenophobia of the Hong Kong film industry.

Shao Shuaijun clenched his fists, his knuckles white. Since his rebirth, he has had a smooth journey, and he has not felt this anger and humiliation for a long time, this feeling is like the feeling of being called back and forth by directors and investors in his previous life, and even kicked with his feet. He knows that the Hong Kong film industry is very exclusive, as can be seen from the selection conditions of the Academy Awards, which must have Hong Kong capital and Hong Kong actors.

But now Hong Kong movies have declined, the box office is declining day by day, and the box office of Waifu has basically dried up. Hollywood has taken up 80% of the film market in Southeast Asia, and even mainland films have surpassed Hong Kong films' market share overseas.

is such a film circle that has one foot in the grave, and he laughs at him so red.

This made Shao Shuaijun very unhappy and was deeply slapped in the face.

Many people in "Crazy Stone" say that it is plagiarism of "Two Big Smoking Guns", but in fact, it is at most a reference and inheritance of this comedy, and there is no plagiarism at all.

He did not win any awards, no Academy Awards, no Golden Horse Awards, and no Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. But what are the Academy Awards, Golden Horse Awards and Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards! Is it a category A international award? No! At most, it is an award for the Chinese to entertain themselves! When you go abroad, foreigners don't even look at it!

Counting medals behind closed doors, every director, like the director who sold shoes that Shao Shuaijun knew, also won awards. What is it if you win more awards, have you ever won an Oscar? If you make a movie, will it be box office in the United States, or even be released?

Holding on to the glory of the past, the dog looks down on people, and he is talking about the current Hong Kong movies.

"Shut up!" Shao Shuai was angry, and he didn't care about any demeanor and self-cultivation, in fact, he had a bullish temper, and he was the same in his previous life and in this life, "You look down on my "Source Code" very much? You guys despise sci-fi movies? You don't understand my confidence, and I don't know what qualifications you have to guide me. If others can't make good science fiction movies, it doesn't mean that I, Shao Shuaijun, can't make them! I, Shao Shuaijun, didn't win the award because I just entered the industry, and time will prove how humble and short-sighted your vision is! Opinionated! ”

Wow!

The flashing lights flashed, and the whole press conference seemed to explode.
