Director’s Legend

"It takes a long time to make a work of art, and it takes a long time to make a movie. But the harvest time, box office and word of mouth, and infecting more people in the future, I think this is eternal. Thank you God made me an actor, thank you for your support all the way—Xu Zheng."

"I am lucky. After graduating from the Dance Academy, I was favored by director Shao Shuaijun and loved by everyone. I believe that your support will make me work harder to play every role-Liu Shishi."

"When we were shooting a movie, there were many boring and repetitive processes. After the shooting was completed, we had to watch the playback repeatedly. It is very hard to be a director. But whenever you clap your hands, laugh and cry for the movie, I feel psychological. With warm faces, all the previous hard work was worthwhile, even if I can only see your short smiles, I will remember them forever—Wang Yixue."

"..."

A total of 30 big and small roles and staff's testimonials, a full ten minutes of thanks. I don't know if it touched some people, but the sloppy who planned this action felt that it should be done this way, thanking the audience for their love of the movie and their affirmation of the actors and staff.

sincere thanks.

Ten minutes later, Mtime.com jumped back to the normal interface again, and the bright red letter was expected to be massacred again.

"Saturday: 88.6 million RMB! Six-day total box office: 322.7 million RMB! Thank you for your company and warm this winter!"

"Records exist to be broken, and hopefully 'Oldboy' will break more records, and hopefully more movies will break 'Oldboy' records."

"Shao Shuaijun, chairman of Chasing Dream Entertainment Group, has made a decision. Half of the box office proceeds of "Old Boy" will be used for charity and to support the Chinese-language filmmakers' dream-chasing action. It will cooperate with the Ministry of Culture, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, China Film Group, China Directors Association, Mtime.com supports more young directors in terms of digital films, avant-garde films, and micro-movies to realize the rise of Chinese-language films. The targets of support are all Chinese directors in the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas!"

"The first support program is tentatively designated as the 'Youth Storm Director Program'. As long as it is a Chinese theme, as long as it is a movie script about youth, you can apply to the 'Green Wind Director'. The registration method is as follows..."

The box office on Saturday was 88.6 million, which is a godlike figure!

The box office broke 300 million in six days. This is still god-like data!

Half of the box office proceeds go to charity and film promotion. Only Shao Shuaijun can make a decision without feeling distressed. According to the box office momentum of "Old Boy", 600 million is conservative, 800 million is an estimate, and 1 billion may not necessarily be impossible. Based on the conservative expectation of 600 million box office. The share is also 300 million. That is to say, 150 million RMB will be used for charity.

And look at the billions of dollars spent during the earthquake. Not worth mentioning. But for the stable present, this is definitely the largest public welfare assistance in recent years!

It is equivalent to saying that watching movies is doing charity!

"Originally I planned to watch it in the cinema. I will wait for the online version to come out and taste it slowly. Now that Shao Shuaijun has shown his courage, I have to work harder. I decided to go to the cinema to watch it again!" Netizen Mo Meng left a message on the Internet.

"That's what I planned too, and "Old Boy" is really good to watch. After watching the movie, I realized that my dream has never been far away." Netizen Yanbutt fart replied.

For Shao Shuaijun's approach, the Internet and the media are full of praise. Even the harshest people are embarrassed to criticize. Occasional donations, you can say that you are making money, and then fake charity. But half of the profit, hundreds of millions of profits are just taken out, what else can I say, what else can I say.

Did you say you donated less?

People make movies just to make money, and they can't be applauded only if they donate all of them.

Saying that people fake mercy for a show?

With hundreds of millions in real money, is there any need for this kind of show?

It can be said that Shao Shuaijun's original impression of arrogance has been washed away after the donations made by the earthquake and the bonus points for good movies in the past few years. This time's big hand, directly raised his reputation to the height of worship by the whole people. This was not Shao Shuaijun's original intention, but no matter what, his reputation has grown.

In China, you don't need to know the name of the country's second-in-command, but there are really not many people who don't know the three words Shao Shuaijun. From an 80-year-old grandmother to a three-year-old child in kindergarten, everyone knows that there is a Shao Shuaijun in China, who is a good role model for young and rich.

In all areas that have received donations from Dream Chasing Entertainment, especially schools, they even spontaneously organized a "Learn from Uncle Shao Shuaijun" thank you action. If China can also run for election freely, Shao Shuaijun's success rate in running for president is absolutely huge, rich, powerful, and famous. Is there anything more competitive than this?

"Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai are definitely idols of the whole people, and Liu Luyao has officially replaced Shen Jiayi as the school belle of the whole people. The storm of "Those Years" has just passed, and "Old Boy" has turned all youth movies into historical dust .Shao Shuaijun always has these magical powers, even if he is low-key, he can still make the focus on him." —— "Beijing Entertainment Letter".

"I have been an actor three times, and my net worth is already in the top line. If Shao Shuaijun is not the director and boss, he is definitely the best candidate for box office appeal!" - "Modu Online".

""Old Boy" once again proved that the potential of the Chinese film market is huge. It's not that the audience can't afford to watch movies and go to pirated copies, but whether there are any movies worth their money to watch!" - "China Economic News" .

"He is still the focus of Asia." - "Time" Asia Edition.

Six days after its release, "Old Boy" has become synonymous with incredible. The word "Old Boy" will definitely be the most popular search term in 2009 Du Niang, and it is not an exaggeration to rank first.

On Sunday, December 6th, another focus battle attracted everyone's attention. On Saturday, it reached 88.6 million. How much can we win on Sunday? Anyway, major TV stations are reporting on the grand occasion of watching "Old Boy" on Sunday.

"Why do you queue up to watch "Oldboy"?" Looking at the long queue. Susu, the host of Jianghuai Satellite TV's "e-life" program, found a handsome guy to ask.

The handsome guy scratched his hair: "I already lined up once yesterday, but I couldn't buy a ticket. I have to buy it today anyway, otherwise I have to go to work, and I can only wait until next weekend."

"Is "Old Boy" really that attractive?" Susu continued to ask.

"Many of my colleagues and friends have watched it and said it is good. I never believe in the publicity on the Internet, but I believe in the opinions of my friends. The movie must be good. Moreover, it was made by Shao Shuaijun. I love his movies. I've seen it. It's very good, the best director in China."

The "News Broadcast" in the evening also reported the scene of queuing up to watch movies. This has been CCTV's six consecutive days of reporting on "Old Boy". In the past two years, the state has given great support to the film industry. Basically as long as it's a good movie. They can all show their faces on "News Lianbo".

The reason why "Old Boy" showed up for six consecutive days. Just because the data is being refreshed every day. The box office records from Monday to Saturday were refreshed one by one, the first day, the single day, the fastest breaking 100 million and the fastest breaking 300 million, as well as the midnight show record. All refreshed.

Although the previous record holder "Inception" was also filmed by Chinese director Shao Shuaijun, it was always produced by Hollywood, which means that Hollywood has always been superior to Chinese-language movies. Now that a domestic film has finally taken off the Hollywood brand, it is natural to write a special book!

A hot Sunday.

The next day, as scheduled, at 7:00 a.m., the red letter slaughtered the page.

"Sunday: 100.2 million RMB! Weekly box office: 422.9 million RMB! Is it possible that the first film in the mainland with a box office of over 100 million US dollars is about to be born?"

No more provocative thank you letters, no extra nonsense, just simply reported on Sunday's box office, and raised a question, whether "Old Boy" can become the first movie in the mainland film market with a box office of over 100 million US dollars movie of. The previous box office champion was "Inception" with 520 million yuan, less than 100 million US dollars.

"Breaking 400 million yuan in a week, and breaking 100 million in a single day at the box office, does Shao Shuaijun want to go against the sky? Or return to Chinese-language movies, and make all Chinese-language directors look down?" ——The New Wolf Entertainment section opened a group ridicule for Shao Shuaijun.

"The film market is booming like never before, and domestic films have entered an era of blockbusters." - Xinhua Daily.

"As of yesterday, the famous Chinese director Shao Shuaijun's film "Old Boy" had a box office of 100.2 million yuan in a single day on Sunday, and the total box office harvested 422.9 million yuan in a week, setting a number of box office records in the history of mainland movies. The best-grossing movie of the year.” — Newswire.

"Please call him Shao 100 million! We look forward to breaking 100 million!" - "Sanlian Life Weekly".

"The 23-year-old Shao Shuaijun conquered China with his talent, and the 1.75-meter Shao Shuaijun stood on the shoulders of giants." Countless people worshiped him.

The mainland movie circle is crazy about "Old Boy", and it has reached the point of losing its mind.

And a week passed, and the box office of overseas Asian countries also received good news.

It reached the top of the weekend box office in South Korea, breaking a record with 2.1 million viewers. This is the best first-week performance for a Chinese-language film in South Korea. "Under the Red Cliff", which was released at the beginning of this year, maintained the box office record for a Chinese-language film in South Korea. The number of viewers was only 2.71 million, and the old boy almost surpassed the box office of "Under the Red Cliff" in one week.

It reached the top of the box office in Japan, and won a total of 1.8 billion yen, setting a record for the highest box office opening of a Chinese-language film in Japan. It is the third highest box office record in Japanese film history, second only to "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" with 2.2 billion yen and "Spider-Man 3" with 2 billion yen.

Deducting the five-day period of the first release (literal translation, unedited flawed version), it happened to be the weekend's two-day premiere box office, as high as 1.5 billion yen, second only to the 1.6 billion yen of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" .

The current box office record for Chinese-language films in Japan is "Under the Red Cliff" at 5.5 billion yen. "Old Boy" breaks this record, and it will only happen overnight!

"Red Cliff" is Wu Yusen's first major production when he returns to the Chinese-speaking circle, and there are two parts. "On the Red Cliff" was 310 million yuan in the mainland, and "Under the Red Cliff" was only 250 million yuan. But overseas in Asia, the two Chibi films achieved dazzling results.

Now, Shao Shuaijun is going to completely replace Wu Yusen! (to be continued..)
