Director’s Legend

"Susan Collins, "The Hunger Games", I finally found it!" Shao Shuaijun was overjoyed. He had been looking forward to this novel for a long time. Like the "Twilight Saga" series, "The Hunger Games" has also been adapted into a series of movies, which are popular all over the world. The difference is that "The Hunger Games" was first adapted into a movie, which caused the popularity of the novel.

Shao Shuaijun has never studied the Hunger Games, and he doesn't even know who the original author is, so he has no clue to create "The Hunger Games", and can only wait slowly. Finally, "The Hunger Games" is out.

With excitement, Shao Shuaijun called Mitchell.

"Hey, Shao, what's the matter so late?"

"Mitchell, I saw a good book called "The Hunger Games" on Amazon. You search for it yourself. Then buy the film adaptation rights. I may want to shoot this movie in the future. The sooner you act, the better. I don't want to be robbed by others."

"Is the book good? The film adaptation is promising?"

"Of course, act quickly!"

Mitchell is a qualified businessman. He contacted Susan Collins early the next morning. After some bargaining, he bought all the film adaptation rights of "The Hunger Games" and the adaptation rights of the sequel. When the contract was signed, Mitchell brought a set of "The Hunger Games" to Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun knew that another gold mine had entered his pocket.

"Mitchell, this will be the next "Twilight" series, even more profitable than "Twilight"! This will be our peak entertainment, in the United States. In Hollywood, a guarantee to become an entertainment giant!"

"Then we'll wait and see, haha."

...

Having harvested "The Hunger Games", Shao Shuaijun continued to shoot movies with a happy mood. Sometimes when he was in a bad mood, he couldn't do anything smoothly, but when he was in a good mood, everything went smoothly. With this momentum, even Scarlett, a heroine with poor acting skills, perfectly reached the state required by Shao Shuaijun.

"Scarlett. This shot is very good. Take a break, now let's move on to the next set. Gordon and Geoffrey are getting ready." Shao Shuaijun held the trumpet and drank tea leisurely. This is Yuqian Longjing tea specially brought from China, as opposed to coffee. Or tea to Shao Shuaijun's taste.

Scarlett finished removing her makeup. Just go aside. Went to chat with some actresses. Then when the filming started here, I heard loud laughter on the other side, which disturbed the state of the actors.

Shao Shuaijun stared. Holding a loudspeaker, he yelled: "You guys, laugh and stay away, don't disturb my filming!"

"Haha, haha." Several women laughed horribly and pointed in this direction.

"What are you laughing laughing!"

The little girl Chloe Moretz, playing Tom's sister, grimaced and exclaimed, "We're laughing at a dude."

"What bullshit playboy, get away from me."

"Yes, that's the shit playboy."

"Hahahaha." Scarlett and the others laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

Shao Shuaijun felt something was wrong, and found that several employees were also laughing, and immediately frowned and asked, "Are you all laughing at me? What's wrong with me?"

"Director, you should look in the mirror." An elderly staff member said kindly.

When he asked for a mirror, Shao Shuaijun finally understood why others were laughing. On his face and neck, the two shiny red lip prints were so vivid. Putting down the mirror, Shao Shuaijun raised his eyes to look at Scarlett, no need to ask, Shao Shuaijun assisted her in the scene just now, there was a brief kiss scene.

She was the only one who could unknowingly leave lipstick marks on Shao Shuaijun's face.

"Laugh, just laugh, laugh to your heart's content, what a big deal." Shao Shuaijun spread his hands, said nothing, washed off the lipstick marks on his face, and continued to direct the play as if nothing happened.

He didn't get angry, and his attitude of being completely indifferent made Scarlett feel restless. Looking at Scarlett's appearance, Shao Shuaijun smiled and complied with the shooting requirements in a lukewarm manner. If the shot was not good, he would retake it, and if the shot was good, he would let it go. Everything was like the calm before the storm.

At least for Scarlett, this is a more terrifying calm than before the storm.

Shao Shuaijun was really going to lose his temper. With Scarlett's thick skin, she didn't care at all, but the unknown is terrible. When you are ready to die, death is not suffering, but if you wait and wait until death does not come, and you know that death will definitely come, this kind of suffering is not ordinary.

The current tactic is the tactic implemented by Shao Shuaijun, and it works surprisingly well against the overly active Scarlett.

"Fight with me, tsk tsk, you're still a little tender."

Hiding behind the monitor, Shao Shuaijun smiled sinisterly.

After the filming was over, Scarlett finally couldn't bear it any longer and went to Shao Shuaijun: "Director, great director, I was wrong, you can use whatever punishment you have. I promise, I will never make such jokes again, China People are very strict, I know, ok?"

Raising his eyelids, Shao Shuaijun didn't continue to make things difficult, but intimidation was inevitable: "I surrendered so quickly, and I still haven't used many methods. Forget it, seeing your attitude of admitting your mistakes is still sincere. In this way, I will shoot you tomorrow." If you can complete ten sets of scenes in one day, you are kidding me, just expose it like this. If you can’t do it, you know, it will definitely be many times more uncomfortable than today.”

"I promise to complete the task!"

"make a deal."

The next day's shot was shot in a wine. It tells about Tom and Summer drinking in the wine, a man comes to strike up a conversation, and then has an argument with Tom, a very funny plot. For this role, Shao Shuaijun specially brought in Mitchell Bruce, the general manager of Summit Entertainment. He felt that Mitchell had the potential to be such a pervert.

"Mitchell, don't be restrained in the next scene, just like how you usually strike up a conversation in a drink, be natural."

With a dark face, Mitchell whispered, "I never drink!"

"Come on, your wife is not here, so why hide it. Props, lighting, and photography are all ready, let's start!"

Scarlett and Gordon were drinking on stage. After reading the lines, Mitchell sat over with a glass of wine and looked at Scarlett: "Yo, how are you?"

Gordon looked at it stupidly, but Scarlett reluctantly said, "It's okay."

"Do you live near here?"

"Yes, not far."

"I haven't seen you here."

"You're not very observant."

Mitchell laughed: "It's funny, you're funny."

Scarlett showed impatience on her face.

"I'll buy you a drink."

"No, thanks."

Gordon wanted to say something beside him, but he didn't say it, and it can be shown from here. Gordon was still a little cowardly.

Mitchell looked at Tom contemptuously: "Are you with this man?"

Gordon said, "I'm Tom."

Mitchell said contemptuously: "Whatever (what's your name)." Then he said to Scarlett: "Hurry up. Just one glass, what do you drink?"

"I said no, thank you."

"Are you serious, for this guy?"

Tom wasn't very brave about Mitchell's provocation. Then Scarlett said quickly, "Dude. Please be gentle. I'm flattered, but I'm not interested. You go away and leave us?"

Mitchell's laugh stiffened. Then he looked at Gordon fiercely: "America is a free country." The subtext of this sentence is that he can pursue anyone he wants, and it also has another meaning, he just wants to pursue Summer in front of Tom. The meaning of provocation is strong.

Gordon wanted to meet Mitchell's eyes, but he was quickly defeated, covering up his cowardice by drinking.

Winning Gordon's eye contact, Mitchell turned away and said, "I can't believe this is your boyfriend, lol."

Papapapapa, Shao Shuaijun yelled: "Crap! Perfect, Mitchell, let me tell you, you are born to be a promiscuous, arrogant and domineering person, and your performance is so perfect, it's just like instinct!"

Mitchell didn't have the joy of living it once, and continued to darken his face: "I repeat, I am not this kind of person, I am just an acting school."

"Come on, explaining is covering up, come on, let's move on to the next shot, Gordon, wait a minute, you and Mitchell are fisting here, Scarlett, the camera will use your cover to cover up the fight, and Mitchell you Stagger a bit, and wait for Gordon's fist to pass by here, and you will pretend to be down. It's all clear, props, lighting, photography, and extras, all in their positions! Let's go!"

Tom, played by Gordon, couldn't stand being ridiculed like this, and finally got up the courage to punch Mitchell. Then he wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and smiled at Summer, acting more manly. However, before he could speak, Mitchell, who fell to the ground, would knock him down with a punch.

The filming went smoothly, but Mitchell, who was highly praised by Shao Shuaijun, seemed not at all excited. He even spent the money for a dinner, trying to let everyone understand that he is good at acting rather than familiar with the industry...

When mid-April came, the last scene ended, and "500 Days with Summer" was finished.

It was originally a simple movie, with no special effects, no action scenes, and even the scenes were only a few houses and a park. The filming was very fast.

After shouting "Finished", Shao Shuaijun looked at the jubilant crowd, picked up the horn to signal everyone to be quiet, with one hand behind his back, he had something to say: "Every time a play is finished, there will be an inexplicable feeling of excitement and sentimentality." , a film crew is like a big family. We have talked and laughed together, studied together, and worked hard for a goal for more than a month. I want to say thank you to everyone. Your excellence makes the filming so good If it goes well, the shot will be perfect."

"I would like to thank the cinematographer, the prop man, the lighting man, the sound engineer and everyone else. You are behind the scenes. Half of the credit for the film belongs to you. The remaining half belongs to the actors, Geoffrey A. Lund, Clark Gregg, Patricia Belcher, Rachel Boston, Minka Kelly, Chloe Moretz, Matthew Gray Gubler, etc. also belong to Joseph Gao Den Levitt and Scarlett Johansson."

Everyone shouted: "It also belongs to you, director!"

Shao Shuaijun put down the trumpet, then walked into the crowd, looked at Scarlett: "Scarlett, I have always had a headache for you, in the entire crew, you are the only one who ignores my authority. But I still want to thank you , added infinite joy to the crew, so, this one is dedicated to you!"

After finishing speaking, Shao Shuaijun suddenly stretched out his hand behind his back, and in his hand was a bottle of champagne that had been uncorked. It shook suddenly, then pulled out the plug, facing Scarlett Johansson, spraying champagne like a fountain. It was mid-April, and the weather was getting hotter. Scarlett was wearing single clothes.

Caught off guard, Scarlett screamed all over, and then her whole body was wet, outlining her perfect figure. Of course, his face was in a state of embarrassment, and his hair was wet with champagne and stuck to his face.

"Hahahahahaha!" Shao Shuaijun ran away with the empty bottle, "Scarlett, this is my revenge for your atrocities of more than a month!"

"Ah! I'm going to kill you, China Shao!" Scarlett yelled, grabbing a bottle of champagne from the table, which had been prepared long ago. Then he chased after Shao Shuaijun and ran over the crew.

"As for your short legs, wait until you catch me!" Shao Shuaijun sarcastically mercilessly.

Gordon also shouted: "Guys, what are you waiting for, let's go together!"

For a while, champagne mixed with sweat, lipstick and foundation were the same color.

Of course, there is also a plea from the photographer: "Hey, be careful, don't spill it on my camera! Hey, pay attention to me, you will be responsible if it gets wet!"

Then, the crew of "500 Days with Summer" disbanded in this way, parting with laughter and reluctant to part with joy. Shao Shuaijun was covered in champagne, and personally sent away every cast member who was full of wine and food. Then take a shower and go to bed to welcome a new day. Other people's tasks are over, and he has to participate in post-editing and production.

It took a week for Shao Shuaijun to edit "500 Days with Summer" and hand it over to Mitchell for follow-up production and promotion. Shao Shuaijun returned to China. It is now the beginning of May, the shadow of summer has arrived, and in one month, he will be twenty-two years old.

This birthday, he has to plan carefully, not for birthday celebration, but for marriage proposal. Then take Li Xiuxiu to travel around the world this summer vacation. Of course, before that, he still needs to deal with various reports and documents accumulated by the company.

The company's recent expenditures are relatively large and require Shao Shuaijun's final decision.

This includes, what Shao Shuaijun confessed last year, the acquisition and development of the game. The few games that Shao Shuaijun was most concerned about were finally won by various means. Among them, 10 million U.S. dollars, a wholly-owned acquisition of the American riot-games company, this company is developing lol "League of Legends".

The other sum was 12 million US dollars, which fully acquired part of the copyright of "Cross Fire" from South Korea's Ames Company. In this way, CF also completely fell into the hands of Chasing Dream Entertainment.

Another relatively large acquisition was the acquisition of the South Korean neople company for US$100 million. The work of this company is dnf "Dungeon and Fighter". However, it was developed in 2005 and has become popular in South Korea, so the acquisition is a lot of trouble and the price is high.

Originally, these games should have fallen into the hands of Penguin in 2008, but with Shao Shuaijun, Penguin was out of luck, and the three old hens that laid eggs flew away. Under Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, there is another company with an unlimited future, Dream Chasing Game Company.

May is heading towards the middle of the month... (to be continued...)
