Since the establishment of the cinema-line screening system in 2002, the domestically produced films that have exceeded 100 million yuan include 250 million in 2002 "Hero", 150 million in 2004 "Ambush on Ten Sides", 120 million in 2004 "Crazy Stone", and 2004 "A World Without Thieves" 120 million, 160 million in 2004 "Kung Fu".

Now we have to add 150 million in "Crazy Racing" in 2005, directly entering the fourth spot of the domestic film at the box office of 100 million yuan.

The vigorous people outside were all discussing "Crazy Racing". As another box office miracle with a small cost and no star, Ning Hao's name instantly became popular in the streets and alleys, and some people even called him the second Feng Xiaogang. As for Huang Bo, he has completely established the title of master of comedy in the mainland. The two crazy, the most brilliant is him.

Of course, while everyone was crazy for Ning Hao, Huang Bo and other members, the media focused more on Shao Shuaijun.

"The youngest director, the youngest director at the box office of 10 million yuan, the youngest director at the box office of 100 million yuan, the youngest director of the North American box office record, the youngest film investor... All of this can only be one person, one who has been hot for more than a year. Post-young man, Shao Shuaijun. We have reason to believe that the future of Chinese-language movies lies in the hands of this young man. If his latest masterpiece "Source Code" can continue the miracle, this is not a prediction, but a fact! Let us work together look forward to!"

This article is a report on the homepage of the Beijing Entertainment Newspaper, with a color photo occupying half of the page. The color photo is a photo of Shao Shuaijun breaking an ice sculpture with a hammer in his hand at a stone celebration banquet. In the photo, Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly, confident and calm.

Almost the next day, all the media reprinted this report, and the picture also used this one.

"Shao Shuaijun is a very thoughtful young man. I am optimistic about his future. Yes, I have finished filming "A Thousand Miles Riding Alone", and the next film is being prepared, which is "The Hawthorn Tree Love" written by Shao Shuaijun." Director Zhang Yimou talked about Shao Shuaijun in an interview with reporters.

"The car is completely Ning Hao's work. I don't know why you guys are involved in Shao Shuaijun. I am optimistic about Ning Hao, that's all." Feng Xiaogang faced reporters and avoided talking about Shao Shuaijun.

"I think mainland movies are growing. With such excellent young people, Chinese movies will get better and better." Director Li Yu is filming Brokeback Mountain in the United States. A reporter went to interview and commented on the "crazy" phenomenon.

"I have imitated the characteristics, and the success needs to be proved again. One or two is nothing, I can only value it." Du Qifeng expressed his opinion on two crazy films at the Nortel film conference.

"I haven't seen a movie, don't ask me." Wu Yusen.

"I've seen both crazy movies. To be honest, our Hong Kong director can't do this kind of thing. It's simply to put "Two Big Smoke Guns" on China..." Liu Zhenwei said righteously, not knowing the time. There is no blushing, Hong Kong movies have done plagiarism.

...

No matter how noisy it is outside, Shao Shuaijun has no time to take care of it. The car is a big hit and he has to be busy dividing the money! The negotiation of "Source Code" in North America has ended, and the schedule has been set, and the publicity is in progress. "Twilight" is a fire in North America, and Felix Publishing has sold representatives to discuss the hair style for the sequel. People were preparing to start the machine on the embarrassing journey, and Xu Ceng stayed in the studio waiting to get the money, and led others to act.

"Hey, is it Aunt Liu? I'm Shao Shuaijun. Yes, Cici is still learning dance in the United States? That's it. "Source Code" has already confirmed the screening plan. North America and Asia will be released simultaneously. After Lionsgate, the mainland needs Cici to come back to participate in the promotion. Okay, please as soon as possible."

"Hey, Fan Bingbing? I'm Shao Shuaijun. That's it, "Source Code" is already... I hope you can come as soon as possible and work with Liu Yifei for publicity... Me? I'm very busy and don't have time to publicize. Don't worry. Well, just to participate in some TV programs, you don’t need to go to major cities. "Source Code" is released simultaneously in Asia and North America. This news will be released without much publicity. Word of mouth will come out directly. You will be very relaxed. ."

"Hey, Mr. Wang, please give me a sum of proceeds first. The studio is exhausted. Yes, the start-up time of "People on the Road" has been determined. Okay, the distribution can be done by the Huayi Brothers. If you invest, just forget it, and you don’t need to invest in small costs."

"Hey, who, Director Zhang? Oh, you have decided to start filming "The Hawthorn Tree Love"? Need me to participate? I may not have much time, okay, I will take time to accompany you to select the heroine."

"Hey, who is it? What, the chairman of the jury of Beijing University Student Film Festival, ah, hello, Mr. Liu, I will be present on May 13th to present the awards on May 14th, right? I see, I must go to participate..."

After hanging up the phone, before Shao Shuaijun had time to take a sip of water, Li Xiuxiu came over.

"A Jun, I have a good talk with Mr. Rush of Phoenix Press. I will go to the United States to discuss the distribution rights of the sequel. What do I need to do?"

"Well, the distribution rights of the sequel will no longer be determined by the number of sales. We have to account for the majority. This is the bottom line. Film copyright and film peripheral copyright cannot be moved. In addition, it is time to establish a company. Embezzle it from the distribution fee of "Twilight". Um...Be careful on the road. Without my supervision, don't be corroded by American Capital, haha!"

"Cut, sister needs someone to supervise? It's you, now you are a big capitalist, and you didn't plan to raise our wages. As expected, you have the stingy demeanor of a capitalist." Li Xiuxiu got familiar with Shao Shuaijun, knowing that this man looks mature, but in fact he still feels It's so boring, you can make jokes at will.

Shao Shuaijun's face turned straight: "Student Li Xiuxiu, let's discuss how to revitalize Chinese movies."

...

"Crazy Racing" box office share is a bit slow, but Huayi Brothers directly gave the received box office to Shao Shuaijun's studio first. After all, Huayi Brothers successively invested in "Crazy Stone" and "A World Without Thieves" last year, and also participated in the investment and distribution of "Kung Fu". It can be said to be the leader and earn a lot of money, not bad.

The current total box office is 150 million yuan. Excluding the film fund and business tax, as well as 50% of the movie theaters, 7% of the theaters, 5% of the distributors, the producer’s total is 66 million yuan, double Shao Shuaijun’s studio received a total of 33 million yuan.

Excluding the 7.5 million cost allocated to Xu Jin's "People on the Road", the studio has made a net profit of 25.5 million yuan.

"25.5 million RMB, making a movie is no different from stealing money, haha!" Shao Shuaijun laughed presumptuously looking at the amount of the account.

After laughing for a while, Shao Shuaijun began to shake his head again: "The Chinese film market is still too small. "Buried Alive" earned more than 180 million yuan in the box office in North America. It is not a heavyweight with the mainland. To make a movie, you still have to go to North America. It's a money grab! "Source Code", I look forward to it more and more! Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, Du Qifeng, Liu Zhenwei, the car is not a face-slapped, "Source Code" will let you know that it hurts!"
