Director’s Legend

Shao Shuaijun stood in front of the mirror, looking at the immature and green face in the mirror. After a long time, he took a handful of clear water and slapped it firmly on his face. It has been determined that he was reborn from 2013 to 2004. In this year, he had just turned eighteen and he did not enter any school in the opera, Chinese opera or Nortel.

I am currently renting a house in a village not far from Hengdian. I usually do group performances and mixed meals. I learn how to direct myself when I have free time. If he continues to follow the historical trajectory, he will eventually become an assistant director from group performances to stage affair, from lighting to props in the next few years.

This director has been working for more than three years and has worked with seven crews. He wakes up in the morning and is greedy for the dark. After he is busy, he does the work of the director and is paid for the field work. Despite the hard days, Shao Shuaijun persisted, hoping to be a director one day. In 2013, he finally realized this wish, and Dengtian Entertainment agreed to ask him to be the director of a movie.

From finalizing the script to setting the scenes, from actor makeup to scene selection, Shao Shuaijun only sleeps for three hours a day, and spends the rest of the time on the movie. A month later, the movie started, but the director was not him. After Shao Shuaijun's preparations were completed, Dengtian Entertainment temporarily changed the director and replaced a new director born in the 90s.

Shao Shuaijun, who couldn't think of driving, got drunk and had a car accident, and then came here on March 16, 2004.

The cold water made Shao Shuaijun sober from his memories, and he was reborn anyway. After the first few days of discomfort, Shao Shuaijun began to examine his current situation. In the previous life, he was mixed in the entertainment industry. Although he worked desperately, he was dull by nature. He had no connections and background. He could only look at others glamorous, and he was a cow and a horse.

Temporary removal of the director, there is no one to help speak, and the career in the entertainment industry is not a failure.

When he was just reborn, Shao Shuaijun also imagined that he would make a fortune by relying on his memory for ten years. But the dream soon shattered, wasted for nearly ten years, nothing but director skills. I know that the stocks of Tencent, Google, and Facebook will rise, but I have no money in my pocket; I know that the World Cup is very popular, but he is not a fan, and I don’t know whether he will win or lose; I know that the economic crisis is about to break out, but I forgot the specific year...

And the only thing he understands, and is the most familiar, is the movie. He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has watched almost every big-fire movie hundreds of times, learnt the successes, and imagined that he would shoot it. How to shoot. Even for some hot movies, he himself participated in the shooting.

Wiping his face, Shao Shuaijun was a little irritable.

If he can, he really doesn't want to enter the entertainment circle anymore. This is a dark circle on the outside and tiring. Dengtian Entertainment’s behavior even shattered Shao Shuaijun’s dream, causing him to dislike the entertainment industry over the years, and he began to hate it all.

"In fact, I just want to find a job, earn money, and be filial to my parents! In my previous life, I just worked **** my own, and I didn't even have time to take care of my dad in the hospital. , I went straight to Hengdian to do horizontal drifting... My only confidence is that I can make movies. I have ten years of memory and countless good movies..."

After breakfast, Shao Shuaijun finally made a decision.

Although he began to reject the entertainment industry, he decided to make a movie. This is the only way he can make money and make big money. God arranged for him to be born again, then live well and enjoy life!

To make a movie, you must first have a script. Shao Shuaijun has so many things in his mind. The second is investment. Shao Shuaijun felt a little speechless when he felt only eight hundred yuan in his pocket. Of course, he was not depressed. As a rebirth, it was easy to make a little money.

According to the memory in his mind, Shao Shuaijun knew that the famous director Zhang Yimou had just finished filming "Ambush on Ten Sides" and the crew was making up the shots at the Hengdian Film and Television Base, and he himself was in Hengdian. Touching his chin, Shao Shuaijun took out his pen and paper and began to concentrate on creating.

What he wants to create is a script, "The Love of Hawthorn Tree", which is a literary film script adapted from the novel of the same name. The novel of the same name was created in 2006. Once it was published, it attracted the attention of directors such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Li Yang. Zhang Yimou eventually grabbed the copyright and shot the movie.

As a literary film, it won a record 160 million box office. "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" was also studied by Shao Shuaijun for a long time. Of course, this movie is about love in the 1970s. Shao Shuaijun's experience is not very deep, but it does not prevent him from writing it completely.

For three days in a row, the script of "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" by Mo Xiang was released. Shao Shuaijun put it in his arms, took care of his appearance, and went out. First go to the Hengdian Copyright Bureau to register the script, and then go to the filming location of "Ambush on Ten Sides". The filming location has been drawn up to prohibit tourists from entering, and Shao Shuaijun is no exception, it is impossible to see Zhang Yimou directly.

Shao Shuaijun could only give the script to Zhang Yimou's outreach assistant, and put his name and contact address on the script, and then went home to wait. With the excellent script of "The Hawthorn Tree Love", as long as Zhang Yimou sees it, he will definitely contact him. Shao Shuaijun is not in a hurry, he is now anxious to consider his first movie.

"Although the script is good, the script of literary and artistic films has always been inexpensive. The price is estimated to be at most one hundred and eighty thousand. Fortunately, one hundred and eighty thousand is almost enough for my own movie script."

After brushing, Shao Shuaijun wrote the name of the movie-"Buried Alive" on the white paper.

In this 2010 noir film directed by Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes, popular Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds (Ryan Reynolds) plays a contract worker truck driver kidnapped in Iraq, but wakes up to find himself Put it in a coffin and buried it alive somewhere in the Iraqi desert. He only has a lighter, a cell phone, two light sticks, a flashlight that turns on and off, and a pen.

This is probably the smallest thriller. The whole story of "Buried Alive" happened in a coffin. Then for the entire 94-minute movie, Paul kept calling for help in the coffin and negotiating with the kidnappers. Excluding the woman who was shot in the mobile video, only Reynolds was the only actor in this film, plus a snake who slipped into the coffin halfway. Even the miracle of the small-cost movie "Ghost Record", there is a house as the background of the story, and a few people appeared on the scene. "Buried Alive" is simply the simplest low-carbon movie.

Originally, the production cost of this film was almost 2 million US dollars, of course, this refers to the remuneration of the starring Ryan Reynolds. Shao Shuaijun did the calculations. Ten thousand yuan is enough for props and equipment. If the graphics are more elaborately packaged, and the travel expenses for promotion are included, it can be done within 50,000 yuan.

The only big expense is the actors. Even if you don’t ask for a high box office, Shao Shuaijun has to find an actor with acting skills, plus a woman who passes by...
