Director’s Legend

Looking at the noisy reporters, Wang Zhonglei smiled and took the microphone: "Please be quiet, tonight is the celebration of "Crazy Stone". I know you have a lot of questions to ask, and there will be enough questions later. Time and meals are not in a hurry, hehe. That's it. First of all, on behalf of Huayi Brothers, I would like to congratulate Director Shao Shuaijun and all the crew members. You have made a classic movie, thank you!"

Happiness!

Everyone applauded vigorously.

"I want to say four things here. The first thing is that the Huayi Brothers has discussed with the director Shao Shuaijun and took out 10% of the box office share, which is 5 million to reward all crew members. Everyone has a red envelope to get it. !" Wang Zhonglei announced loudly.

"Wow!" Huang Bo and other young actors roared. The reporters also applauded, admiringly. Red envelopes have always been a big killer, making people jealous.

"The second thing is that Huayi Taihe Film and Television Investment Company has signed a contract with Director Shao Shuaijun. In the future, the director and agent of director Shao Shuaijun will be managed by Huayi Taihe Film and Television Investment Company. The third matter, Huayi Taihe Film and Television Investment Company, Will work with director Shao Shuaijun to jointly establish Huayi Shao Shuaijun studio, responsible for assisting Shao Shuaijun in filming and film investment. The fourth thing is invested by Huayi Taihe Film Investment Company, Huayi Shao Shuaijun studio production, film "Crazy Racing" is officially launched and shooting will start at the end of the month at the latest."

Wang Zhonglei finished the rest of the matter in one breath, and then put down the microphone, indicating that the reporters can ask questions as much as they want.

"Mr. Wang and Director Shao, can you introduce the specific content of the contract between you two?"

Shao Shuaijun did not respond, and Wang Zhonglei answered: "Director Shao Shuaijun is a well-known young director. Although he has only shot two films, we at Huayi believe that the future of Director Shao is limitless. Therefore, the content of the contract is entirely based on mutual respect. Achieved, there are no fixed filming requirements and no regulations on the director’s behavior. The company only acts as director Shao Shuaijun’s agent."

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang, Huayi and Director Shao signed a contract and jointly established a studio. Are they in conflict with each other?"

"There is no conflict. The signing is for the investment of the film. This is set for Huayi Taihe's investment in Shao Director's film. The studio is responsible for the filming of the film, and if Director Shao sees any good script, or There are some scripts that you don’t want to shoot but invest in others to shoot. They can all be operated through the studio. Huayi Taihe will not interfere."

"So, can Director Shao reveal that the content of the new movie "Crazy Racing" is a sequel to "Crazy Stone"?"

"It's not a sequel, it's a new story about a racer, but it will be filmed by the original crew of "Crazy Stone". The specific content must not be disclosed, because the screenwriter is being written, and a lot of content still needs the director to be in place. At that time, refer to the director's meaning."

"So, the new script was not shot by Director Shao?"

"I have no plans to shoot. The new script has been determined to be directed by Ning Hao, the director of Incense."

"Who is Ning Hao? Why didn't Director Shao shoot himself? Is it because the script is not comparable to "Crazy Stone"?"

"Of course not, "Crazy Racing" is not inferior to "Crazy Stone". On the contrary, in terms of scenes and production, it must surpass "Crazy Stone". I discussed with Mr. Wang that it may invest 10 million yuan for shooting. As for Director Ning Hao, he is a very talented young director. Many of his ideas coincide with the script. I believe he will bring you a good movie that is not lost to the stone."

To briefly explain the four things, Shao Shuaijun stopped answering questions, retreated to the background, and gave the limelight to the leading actors such as Guo Tao, Huang Bo, and Xu Zhen. "Crazy Stone" has a box office of more than 100 million. Excluding film funds, taxes, and the cinema share, there are nearly 50 million left. Huayi and Shao Shuaijun are half-divided, and then the five million red envelopes that have been bloomed are divided. It's nearly 20 million.

Shao Shuaijun made a net profit of 17 million after removing 3.5 million in investment. Huayi also made almost 10 million after removing 10 million in publicity expenses. This is the current income on the books. Movies are hot, and the DVD release and the Southeast Asian region are also beginning to be hot. This will surely be another huge income.

Now, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries have begun to send people to Huayi to discuss the release of movies. It is expected that after these places are released, they can win at least 50 to 60 million box offices and net income of 30 million. In order to curb piracy, DVDs are sold at a low price, 12 yuan per piece, which does not make much money, but every time a piece is sold, it is a net profit, and an additional 10 million yuan in income is not a problem.

In other words, there are more than 40 million in income waiting later, even if it is evenly divided, both parties can earn 20 million each. In other words, this movie helped Shao Shuaijun make a net profit of 37 million, while Huayi made more than 30 million. Shooting in three months and releasing in one month, I made so much in just four months. There are enough reasons to hold a grand celebration banquet.

Huayi's artists, whether they are Wang Jinhua's subordinates or Er Wang's subordinates, come to participate as long as they have free time. A lot of director circles also came. Several leaders from China Film and Shanghai Film were also invited. A low-ranking deputy director of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was also invited.

If it is an ordinary artist, Shao Shuaijun would not be too lazy to respect it, but everyone in the director's circle has to take turns. Every industry has its own rules. If you want to be in the movie circle, you can't offend the director group. Don't look at the unsatisfactory of some directors, and even a hit movie was not made. If you really offend, the consequences will be serious.

Especially the now rampant fifth-generation directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige, are all born in large state-owned film companies and have a wide range of connections, and they are the big names who have moved the whole body. And the up-and-coming sixth-generation directors, such as Jia Zhangke and Lu Chuan, did not learn from famous teachers. They were students of three or four generations of antique directors, and their connections were also vast.

Therefore, for the time being, Shao Shuaijun, who has been named a new-generation director, wants to get involved in the director circle, so he can't offend these big names.

Zhang Yimou was busy filming "A Thousand Miles Riding Alone" and Feng Xiaogang was busy filming "A World Without Thieves." These two directors who had a slight relationship with Shao Shuaijun were not there. At the celebration party, there were some sixth-generation directors, such as Lu Chuan. , Xuechang Lu, etc. It is not a generation, and he has less than a pot of urethra to speak. After the toast, Shao Shuaijun returned to the main table and continued to listen to the bragging of Wang Zhonglei's brothers with China Film, the leaders of Shanghai Film and the deputy director of the Film Bureau.

No one talked to Shao Shuaijun. All those present here were dozens of years old, and they would not have looked at Shao Shuaijun highly because of a film that was over 100 million yuan.

Shao Shuaijun is also happy, watching all the sentient beings and savoring life.
