Director’s Legend

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The applause was endless.

In order to identify more theater chains, a small-scale screening was held at the Wanda CBD Cinema in Beijing. The invitees were all domestic theater chain owners and distributors from various Asian countries. A screening was also held at the Santa Monica Cinema in the United States, inviting the heads of theater companies in the United States and Canada, as well as distribution companies in Europe, Australia, Africa and other places.

The two screenings all received loud applause, and everyone was impressed by "Inception". Therefore, the theater chain negotiations were easy and simple, and we won 3,768 theaters in North America, including all IMAX theaters. Although the mainland has 38% of the film schedule, this is only on paper, and privately the bosses will definitely add more screenings.

It will be released in various parts of Asia at the end of December, while other countries and regions will also be released in late December or early January. The movie is rated pg-13, and children under the age of thirteen need to be accompanied by their parents. It is destined to attract a large number of students and add fuel to the box office.

"Tch, Shao Shuaijun has long told us what a one-person movie is! How can Nicolas Cage compare to my Leo! "Inception" will definitely win the championship!"

"There are three days on the weekend. I think I will watch them one by one. I have already watched "I Am Legend" and it is pretty good. I may try "Alvin and the Chipmunks"."

"Oye. Cheek. Do you still remember me? Oye, Cheek, I am the black brother, Oye. This time I support. Oye. I support "I Am Legend", Will Smith, Our black brothers. Cheek yo!"

"'Inception', I didn't say anything, just from the trailer, I knew it would win."

Columbia TV, "The Big Bang Theory" in cooperation with Summit Entertainment, has a ratings from It can be said that they have not fallen out of the top three positions, which can be said to be a good cooperation. Naturally, the program is slightly biased towards "Inception".

The TV stations are joining in the fun, and the media, needless to say, are fighting for the battleground.

"The previous work was well-received, and the sequel is making waves again. It is an epic action blockbuster, with Nicolas Cage risking his life to star in it. An exclusive interview with the creative staff of "National Treasure 2"!"

…

No matter how noisy the media is.

In the eyes of countless people, be it jealousy, curse, expectation, or indifference, on December 20, 2007, the world premiere of "Inception" was held at Wanda CBD in Beijing. Although it is a Hollywood blockbuster, it was solely invested by Dream Chase Entertainment, so Shao Shuaijun held the premiere in China.

The main creative staff have all gathered in Beijing. After tonight's premiere, they will go to various parts of the world in batches for promotion.

On the red carpet, the stars were shining brightly.

Zhou Runfa and his wife, Leonardo and Scarlett, Gyllenhaal and Ellen Page, Wen Zhang and Liu Shishi, Deng Chao and Sun Li, Huang Bo and Li Bingbing, Xu Zheng and Xiao Longnu are both domestic and international stars. There are also celebrities such as Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, etc., who appear together or alone.

Zhang Yimou, who was directing the Olympic Games in Beijing, also took the time to attend the premiere. Directors such as Ning Hao, Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke, Wang Yixue, Li Fangfang, etc. were also present.

Stars, directors, media, and more than 100 ticket holders, hundreds of people gathered in the cinema, waiting to see "Inception".

Gao Zhisheng was busy arranging seats, while Shao Shuaijun, Zhang Yimou and other directors sat down early to talk.

"I heard from Zhang Weiping. He attended the screening and said that the movie is very good-looking and will definitely become a global hit. I am sighing that our mainland has finally produced a director who can go global." Zhang Yimou was quite emotional. He is regarded as one of the most famous directors in mainland China. He is a frequent visitor to several major film festivals. "Hero" was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. But when it comes to popularity, only in China, not many foreign audiences know him.

Shao Shuaijun smiled modestly: "Director Zhang is a director who has gone global. This Olympics will definitely go down in history. As a director, this is the recognition of the Chinese people and the world. It is unprecedented."

This is not a compliment. The opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games was definitely the most spectacular in the world. Zhang Yimou's name will also be remembered by the world along with this Olympic Games. There is only one Zhang Yimou in China who has such an honor. As a leader of the fifth generation of directors, "Hero" performed well commercially, and "Hawthorn Love" also received the highest box office of a mainland literary film at 89 million yuan in literary terms.

Seeing such box office results at that time, Zhang Yimou directly called Shao Shuaijun, the screenwriter, and said, "You made money, I lost money." A nominal screenwriter who had sold the script a long time ago received 5% of the box office share, which was almost as much as his director's fee. Of course, when he said this, Zhang Yimou felt pain and happiness. Who would have thought that a literary film could also earn 90 million at the box office.

"Let's stop bragging about each other and making jokes about Xiaoshuai and Xiaoning." Zhang Yimou smiled and waved his hand, "I heard that "Inception" used several special photography equipment. Now, mainland directors use There are only a few Panavision cameras, let alone IMAX and the like."

Shao Shuaijun sighed: "We used five kinds of cameras, panavision, special for aerial photography, special for high-speed photography, imax cameras and Sony's 4K digital. To be honest, if you haven't used these cameras, you can't imagine that a good camera is right. How much influence does commercial film have? I wanted to go to Nortel to study photography techniques, but in fact no one at Nortel knew these cutting-edge technologies. On the one hand, there are cost constraints, and on the other hand, there are market constraints."

"When we make movies, the director sometimes eats lunch, so I can't compare with you." Wang Xiaoshuai laughed at himself.

Shao Shuaijun shook his head and said nothing more. Some domestic directors do not lack the talent to tell stories. What they lack is nothing more than funds, technology, and courage.

At this time, the big screen lit up and "Inception" began. (To be continued...)
