Director’s Legend

Huang Bo deserves to be the future actor. After watching the sample, he told Shao Shuaijun that he had grasped the feeling. So I took the shot of the sewer again. There are two parts of the sewer, one is the intact sewer, used to shoot the front and back, and the other is the half of the sewer, used to shoot the side.

The sewer is full of mud and smelly, and most people want to vomit when they smell it, let alone crawling inside. Actors are very hard work, especially those who have not made their mark. Don't talk about drilling into the sewers. If you really need it, you have to jump even if you want to jump into the cesspool.

The retake shot was perfect than the last time. Shao Shuaijun finally nodded in satisfaction, and Huang Bo immediately rushed into the bathroom...

Before I knew it, I had been shooting for seven days. In order to save money, in seven days, some insignificant supporting roles were filmed, and then sent away to the crew to save money. As soon as the filming was finished on the seventh day, Zhao Cheng rushed to the crew and told Shao Shuaijun good news.

"Director Shao, Mr. Wang just called, "Buried Alive" was drawn, and the final box office was 23.5 million, ranking fourth in the total box office of this year's movies. The first film passed 20 million. , Is there anything you want to say?"

"What I want to say? It seems not."

"Hehe, you are too boring. Take a break tonight. Li Kai and Wang Yixue will temporarily take over the filming tomorrow. Let's go to Beijing for a celebration banquet."

"Can you not go?"

"Let's go, people just want to have a little bit of achievement and can't wait to preach every day. You are good. After a few days of filming in the mountain city, the reporter didn't let them in. How can this work? Now is the era of eyeball economy. You have to build momentum, and there must be news if there is no news..."

"I don't care what you do for publicity, anyway, I don't participate. I just like to make good stories and make good movies. Don't make me participate in the mess." How deep is the water in the entertainment industry, Shao Shuaijunyi It's clear that you can't get out after you get in. He just wanted to stay aloof, like the Wachowski brothers who filmed "The Matrix," oh, wrong, they are brothers and sisters, living their own lives in a low-key manner, instead of living in front of a glamorous camera.

"...Forget it, do whatever you want, but you should go to the celebration party tomorrow. You don't want to be famous, why don't you think about Sanxi and Anan? Don't you go to who knows them...take them Go, I will call Mr. Wang back now."

Looking at Liu Sanxi, Anan and others who were packing equipment, Shao Shuaijun was silent. He is a past person and he has seen through the entertainment industry, but for people like Liu Sanxi, what they want is to become famous. "Buried alive" has their credit and should give them a chance. And Liu Sanxi and others went all the way to him, Shao Shuaijun, and after busying with the crew, they worked as a supporting role while working as a handyman, but they only got a little money.

In fact, the entire crew does not have a lot of money. Compared with other film crews, "Crazy Stone" has become a super shabby crew because Shao Shuaijun does not want to raise money and does not want to be interfered. If it is not for the future, who is willing to work hard?

Zhao Cheng called outside, and the staff greeted them one after another to leave. Shao Shuaijun sat in a chair and thought for a while. Until Chang Ji took out the film sloppily and greeted him.

"Director, I'll take the film to Director Zhang." Director Zhang is the production director Zhang Yu, responsible for the film development.

Shao Shuaijun was awakened and waved his hand: "Sloppy wait, I'll ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

"What are you making a movie for?"

The sloppy monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out: "Director, ask what this is doing?"

"For dreams? For fame? Or something else?"

The sloppy stunned, and said with a smile: "Speaking of dreams of becoming famous, it is too far away. Although I have this extravagant hope in my heart, I still aim to eat a meal. The director, look at my answer, is it okay?" Sloppy is 27 or 18 years old this year, and he is very diligent in doing things, but a little bit frizzy. Although he was older than Shao Shuaijun, in front of Shao Shuaijun, he always felt like he was a junior.

"Oh, it's okay, go ahead." Shao Shuaijun patted the sloppy shoulder, satisfied with the answer.

Shao Shuaijun looked at the empty studio and laughed self-deprecatingly: "When I was born again, I was frightened, and my thoughts fell through the horns. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit. Everyone is chasing the word'profit', I don't want to make money too...I will deal with the situations that should be there, and leave the rest to myself. Don't always go to extremes, classmate Shao!"

Thinking of this, Shao Shuaijun immediately shouted: "Sloppy, sloppy, wait for me!"

"What's the matter?"

Sloppy ran back again.

"Then what, starting from tomorrow, in less important scenes, journalists are allowed to come in for interviews. You can also cooperate with Zhao Cheng to do publicity."

"Okay!"

Zhao Cheng just walked in after the phone call, and said with a smile: "Director Shao, do you want to understand?"

"No, anyway, I won't be interviewed by reporters casually."

"Keep it mysterious, Director Shao is very thoughtful."

...

Huayi Brothers made a fortune from the release of "Buried Alive". According to the domestic box office share, the theaters and movie theaters get the big head, and the distributor takes the small head, but there are more than 30% of the share, which adds up to 67%. Millions of earnings. The box office alone covered the 5 million buyout cost.

The DVD version of "Buried Alive" has already begun printing, and it is estimated that it will generate another five or six million yuan. Counting the distribution in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, the total revenue can exceed 15 million yuan. While making money, the reputation of "Buried Alive" is also very good. In the current domestic film recession, "Buried Alive" has attracted a lot of attention with its ultra-low cost, deep connotation and creative ideas.

It can be said that this "Buried Alive" brought Huayi Brothers' film career to a higher level.

Wang Zhonglei's reputation for discerning people has spread in the film industry, and it is Poly Bona's Yu Dong who directly served as the background. As a competitor, Wang Zhonglei often raised his tail in front of the east, showing his sharp eyesight.

As a great hero, when Shao Shuaijun got off the plane, Wang Zhonglei personally drove to pick up the plane.

"Xiao Shao, I still said that. The door of Huayi Brothers has always been open for you. When you come in, the treatment is the same as that of Director Feng Xiaogang. The resources of Huayi Brothers are all open to you."

"I understand Mr. Wang's kindness. When I figure it out, I will definitely go to Mr. Wang." Shao Shuaijun didn't say anything.

Wang Zhonglei smiled, did not continue this topic, and started to say some jokes, enlivening the atmosphere. This time the celebration banquet was held at the Beijing International Hotel. Many well-known media were invited to participate. Huayi Brothers President Wang Zhongjun also appeared at the celebration banquet. There were also many well-known filmmakers, including director Feng Xiaogang.
