Director’s Legend

() From August 27th to 29th, the last weekend of August, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" finally handed over its title on the North American box office list, and only got $12 million this week. However, the overseas results are still so dazzling, with a total of 72 million U.S. dollars, and a global box office of 630 million U.S. dollars, officially surpassing "Teddy Bear".

"Shao Shuaijun has become the best director of the year. He alone has won a box office of nearly 1.3 billion US dollars this year, becoming the most dazzling director in 2010!" - "Hollywood Entertainment Rewards".

"The man who rewrote the pattern of Hollywood!"

Although "Time Magazine" did not use Shao Shuaijun as the cover character, it still had a detailed report on the impact of Shao Shuaijun's latest movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on Hollywood.

Since Warner Brothers put "Harry Potter" on the big screen, New Line Films also put "The Lord of the Rings" on the big screen, and then Walt Disney put "The Chronicles of Narnia" on the big screen. screen. Hollywood studios are always looking for best-selling novels that can be adapted for the big screen.

It's a pity that not everyone can find such a novel. As a result, Shao Shuaijun, an outsider, brought Summit Entertainment to a high-speed development track with "Twilight", and the subsequent "The Hunger Games" even fueled the bestsellers. Adapted Chaos Stream. This directly led to an increase in the copyright fee for the adaptation of the world's best-selling novels.

If the best-selling book is only a small change, then the acquisition of Marvel Comics and the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Trio plan are absolutely shocking. In Hollywood in the past, Warner Bros. played Superman and Batman, Sony played Spider-Man, and 20th Century Fox played X-Men. It can be said that they fought on their own.

Now Summit Entertainment wants to integrate superheroes and turn the original stragglers into a regular army. If this plan is successful, it can be said that the Big Six in Hollywood will become a two-horse hegemony. Warner Bros., which owns DC, and Summit Entertainment, which owns Marvel .

Now that "Iron Man 2" has just finished its release, the global achievement of 625 million US dollars is gratifying, which strengthens the pace of the trio plan. "Captain America" ​​and "Thor" are waiting, and Marvel's heavy blows have made Warner Bros. nervous. The Batman trilogy directed by Nolan, "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" were filmed at the same time, but the knight was released and received a box office of 1 billion US dollars. It has been two years since the rise, No releases are planned yet.

It is to deal with the more and more arrogant Marvel heroes, and prepare to throw them out at the right time to compete with the Marvel superhero movies.

Moreover, Warner Bros. has sent someone to rewrite the Superman script, and the newly adapted Superman script has been named "Superman: Man of Steel".

This was all forced by Summit Entertainment.

In terms of this year's total box office, Warner Bros.'s No. 1 position is no longer guaranteed. If the superhero loses again, Warner Bros.'s global No. 1 face will be lost.

Shao Shuaijun, a young man, broke into Hollywood with his bare hands back then. No one would have thought that in less than four years, he would rewrite the entire pattern of the Hollywood film market. A little-known small company, Summit Entertainment, has been brought into the ranks of the top six, and this year it is the top six!

Small companies are on par, and Warner Bros. is sitting on pins and needles, but it is Twentieth Century Fox that is really crying.

Warner Bros. is just a little nervous. No matter what, they make money every year. It's just a matter of earning more and earning less. With DC comics in hand, they are not afraid that there will be no superhero movie shooting. The future is changing, and within ten years, they can guarantee a stable chair.

Twentieth Century Fox was not so lucky. Ever since it was acquired by the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, there was not much support for Fox, and everything had to be carried by itself, and the day was very aggrieved.

"It is reported that 20th Century Fox has dismissed the vice president in charge of the film library. It was the vice president who made the decision to sell all the copyrights of the "Planet of the Apes" series to Summit Entertainment. This is how Shao Shuaijun came into being. Director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a global hit!" - The Sun.

""Avatar" failed to make further progress, "The Wolverine" box office fell short of expectations, the copyright of the "Planet of the Apes" series was lost, 20th Century Fox's stock price has fallen significantly this year, and the management urgently launched "Avatar 2" to rescue the market." —— New York The Times.

"Stocks fell, and the new version of "Fantastic Four" that was planned to start filming was confirmed to be aborted. Twentieth Century Fox executives revealed that the copyrights of Daredevil and Fantastic Four may return to Marvel Comics this year and next." - "Denver Post Newspaper.

News exposure rate 20th Century Fox is the only one that can compete with Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment is full of good news, and it is full of tragedy, becoming the two extremes among the Big Six. Strictly speaking, 20th Century Fox did not lose money, and "Avatar" made a lot of money because of its high production cost and high box office. "Wolverine" didn't lose money, and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" didn't come out. No one knew that "Planet of the Apes" still had such value.

But the problem is that 20th Century Fox's behavior always deviates from expectations. "Avatar" was originally a masterpiece with a cost of 500 million U.S. dollars, and it took 5 years even for the time. According to calculations by economists and filmmakers, the global 2.5 billion U.S. dollars was the expected value, but the 2.2 billion U.S. dollars did not arrive. The same is true for "Wolverine". Experts predicted that it would exceed 100 million in its opening week, but in the end it only got more than 80 million.

As for "Planet of the Apes", it is a disaster without any reason, it is entirely a matter of vision. However, with the lessons of Fox, major companies have tightly covered their film libraries, and Fox can be regarded as self-sacrificing and doing a negative lesson for everyone.

In short, during this period of time, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" trampled 20th Century Fox hard.

The top people in the world will always step on others to get to the top.

If Summit Entertainment wants to be an entertainment giant, other film companies can only be trampled on.

Before autumn comes, Summit Entertainment has turned Hollywood upside down, stepping on other companies and abruptly ascending to the top. And Shao Shuaijun also won a red box office and countless praises with his "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

In the eyes of the reporters, James Cameron sharpens his sword every five years, while Shao Shuaijun sharpens his sword five times a year. In the silent battle with the king of the world, if you can't compete with quality, you will fight for quantity! The confrontation between the old and new generations is worthy of special mention!

Furthermore, Christopher Nolan is the king in the dark, domineering and deep, just like his movies, as charming as a whirlpool. Shao Shuaijun is the king of ever-changing, eclectic style, without sloppy changes, like the stars in the sky, dazzling. Gemini's rivalry on the same stage is also worthy of special mention!

So they desperately explored the topic, setting off round after round of hype storms.

"Shao Shuaijun and I are friends. I think his thinking is at the genius level. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a great movie. Shao Shuaijun is a role model for commercial directors." A reporter asked Christopher Nolan so Answer how he thinks of Shao Shuaijun.

After Shao Shuaijun found out about it, he reported to Li Toutao and was interviewed by a reporter from Time.com, praising Nolan: "Nolan's achievements are brilliant. His understanding of movies is profound and unique. Talking about his achievements in commercial movies , is pioneering and irreplaceable."

Cameron said in an interview: "I am very happy that there are young directors who have achieved such high commercial success. I have a great preference for technology. I heard that Shao also prefers technology. I think although we have not met, but We'll be friends."

Shao Shuaijun's response was as follows: "Cameron has always used technology to change the film world. His preferences have a great influence on me. We have the same attitude towards technology. I look forward to working with him one day. I think I have a lot of ideas that I want to ask him for advice."

When the reporter asked about the duel between the old and the new world kings, and the fire merger between the twin stars, the three of them shook their heads at the same time: "I never compare anything, just do what you should do, make your favorite movie, all of this is enough .”

It can be said that after the release of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the media's opinion of Shao Shuaijun has reached a new level. In the past, everyone would still advocate the Chinese director Three Musketeers, but now Shao Shuaijun has become a candidate for the king of the world, and is regarded by Hollywood as a future world film leader like Nolan.

The flattery is endless, just like Shao Shuaijun's hope and care for his son is also endless.

"Honey, eat an apple."

Shao Shuaijun handed over a peeled apple.

"I don't eat, I eat every day, I'm tired of eating." Li Xiuxiu sat on a rocking chair, enjoying the shade under the grape trellis. This grape trellis was planted before the villa was built. Li Xiuxiu likes the grape trellis very much.

"It's okay if you don't eat it. According to the doctor's instructions, the amount of three apples today will not be enough for my son's nutrition."

Li Xiuxiu was annoyed: "You know your son now, and you forgot about me as a wife before the son was born."

"How could it be?" Shao Shuaijun immediately leaned over and slapped Li Xiuxiu's face, "Do you think I look like someone who has a son and forgot his wife? I'm afraid that if my son doesn't get enough nutrition, if you absorb your nutrition, you won't be able to get it." Nutritious."

"I hate it, you just don't care about me anyway." Li Xiuxiu acted like a baby.

"What a shame, I even refused Wang Zhonglei and the others to invite me to drink, and stayed at home to peel apples. It's because I know that my wife doesn't like to eat apple skins, and that's not caring."

"Who asked you to stay, with my parents and elder sisters here, I can't find anyone who peels apples."

"Hey, good wife, what can I do to prove that I care about you more than anything?" Shao Shuaijun spread his hands helplessly.

"Hmm..." Li Xiuxiu thought for a while, "I want you to cut the apple into small pieces and feed it to me."

"Although it's troublesome, it's a piece of cake for love!"

Shao Shuaijun immediately ran to find a tray, then cored the apples, cut them into small pieces, inserted a few toothpicks, and brought them over: "Haha, a delicious apple salad feast is here! Come, wife Open your mouth."

Only then did Li Xiuxiu eat the apple proudly.

Seeing Li Xiuxiu eating happily, Shao Shuaijun was also happy, and Xiao Shao in his stomach must be happy too.

"Wife, I wrote a poem for you to listen to." Shao Shuaijun put down the plate, cleared his throat, took Li Xiuxiu's hand and said, "You are from Yuanmou, Yunnan, and I am from Zhoukou, the capital city. Holding your little hairy hand, Take a bite. Ah, it's love that makes us walk upright."

After speaking, he kissed Li Xiuxiu's hand.

"Hate."

Li Xiuxiu laughed and laughed. (To be continued.)
