Director’s Legend

"Sister Xiuxiu, how do you think the company should operate?" Shao Shuaijun felt that he was not a qualified rebirth and decided to refer to the advice of professionals.

Li Xiuxiu drank coffee leisurely: "It depends on how you look at your career. To be honest, being a manager likes your boss the most. It feels like you have no ambitions, just thinking about making movies. Apart from movies, there is no ambition. , You have no requirements for the studio, nor do you have any requirements for your own reputation."

"Am I so frustrated?"

"Have!"

Li Xiuxiu said affirmatively: "In fact, these qualities are placed on ordinary people, and they may live happily, but don't forget that you are in the entertainment circle now. I follow my sister and have seen more of the dark side of the entertainment circle. Do you know why my sister wants to leave Huayi Brothers? Not only my sister, Fan Bingbing and Zhou Xun have this idea."

"You can be your own boss by starting your own company. That should be the reason."

"This is only on the surface. In fact, being a boss is very sad. I told my sister that an artist wants to fly solo without the protection of a big company. The scene to deal with will be much more complicated, and it takes ten times the effort to go. Work hard. But they still have to go out independently. One big reason is for freedom."

"free?"

"Yeah, don’t look at my sisters who are big stars now, they are beautiful, in fact, they are not a money-making tool for the company. Today I will let you go to a reception, tomorrow I will let you attend an event, and the day after tomorrow will help you pick it up. Shoot a TV series. As long as you can make money, who cares about your artist’s wishes? If you listen to the company and help the company make a lot of money, then the company is your grandson in front of you. Once you become disobedient, the company will block or hide it at any time. Or, before your contract expires, you desperately call on you. Such examples are not rare!"

Li Xiuxiu looked at Shao Shuaijun and said very seriously, "A Jun, we have been working together for more than half a year. I know that you are a very pure person. There is nothing in your eyes except movies. You are wrong. Don't look at you now. It’s very prosperous. It helps everyone to make big money. You don’t have your own career foundation. You and my sisters and others, you have to be judged by others. The Huayi Brothers are good to you now because you helped them make money. Once you have a conflict with them one day Now, they will still win over you like this? Think about it, what do you do if Huayi Brothers yin you behind?"

"The big deal is to change to another company, but this is not realistic. I am also a shareholder of Huayi Brothers."

"Can you not mention the 5% of the shares? Is there any decision-making power? I ask you, if Huayi Brothers bans you, cuts off your distribution channels, does not provide you with artist acting, and even embarrass you during the review of the Film Bureau. Or if the joint theater company bullies you, what do you do?"

"Speaking so mysteriously, isn't this all a shadowy thing?"

Li Xiu stomped straight and delicately: "You, you, you have a bit of foresight, good or not, the world is full of banquets, unless you work for the second king all your life, you will have conflicts sooner or later. You look at your studio, except for making movies. And investing in movies, I don’t do anything, and I don’t have the ability to resist risks at all. You invited me over, besides keeping me busy with some trivial things, what else do I do? Now, I want to establish a separate company for a book. ……A Jun, give me a complete idea, OK? If you don’t care about the future, I will go to work honestly. If you want your studio and company to grow, give me a direction, don’t make me headless Like a fly, okay?"

This tone is quite a bit of sorrow for his misfortune and anger, and he speaks of Shao Shuaijun as having no place for himself. At the beginning, Li Xiuxiu was invited to come here for the purpose of expanding the studio and getting rid of other people's constraints. As a result, as soon as the seven things came out, Shao Shuaijun forgot about it, and he still hasn't said clearly how the studio developed.

Coming out of the cafe and walking on the streets of Phoenix, Shao Shuaijun is still thinking about what kind of life he wants to live. God gave him a precious opportunity to do it again, so what should he do to live a life in vain?

In the United States in April, the cold left over from winter was still floating in the air. Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but shrink her neck and wrap her coat tighter.

Shao Shuaijun walked casually with his hands in his pockets.

It took a long time to speak.

"Actually, I also thought about setting up a company by myself, monopolizing investment, production, brokering, distribution, publicity, and even monopolizing theater companies. But you know that the national conditions of China are different from other countries. Standard thinking prevails and human relations are intertwined. Now that private enterprises have just been opened up to enter the upper reaches of the circle, those large state-owned enterprises still have the advantage. It is very difficult to have the right to speak. I am now making movies and making small investments. , Even go to a foreign country to collect some money, can live the life I want, and become a director, I am very satisfied."

When speaking, Shao Shuaijun raised his finger and pointed to a billboard on a building with a movie poster on it. In the poster, a man is running, not the road at his feet, but a pile of countless photos, and countless photos are floating in the sky. It is the poster of "Source Code". The man is Shao Shuaijun. Each photo represents a world and a scene, implying traveling through countless worlds.

"Look, the movies I'm making now have landed in the United States. My dream in my heart is to make movies and keep shooting. I now take these inspirations, and one day I will create inspirations by myself and shoot them. More and more good movies, allowing countless people to wander in my movie world... This is the life I want to live.

Did you know that James Cameron, the king of the world, is my idol. He has a weird and grumpy temper. It is difficult for others to get along with him. He once opened one of the four major special effects companies in the digital field, and later, he was kicked away by his partners. He had been married five times, and his wife couldn't stand him and left him again, until he married the current one.

He was never a winner after leaving the movie, even in the movie circle, he might not be successful. He likes to burn money so much, a movie is not measured in units of 100 million dollars. Therefore, many people are discouraged from him. After "Titanic", there was no filming for several years.

But he once said that I live happily.

Do you know, I admire this kind of life especially, don't care about other people's eyes, concentrate on doing your own things, weaving dreams. Life? Just be happy. It’s not necessary to have everything. I started a company because I wanted to make movies and make movies unfettered. Let me wear a mask to bargain, I really don't want to go.

So, Sister Xiuxiu, if you think I'm too naive, you can kick me off like Cameron. Maybe, if you kick me away, I will become the next king of the world. Hahahaha! "

"What a cold joke!" Li Xiuxiu stood there, looking at the people running on the poster, and then at the corner of his mouth with a small smile. Shao Shuaijun, who is like a sunny boy, smiled silently, "But I believe that there are only pure people, pure Only when you like it can you get the recognition of the movie, and the recognition of the audience can you become the next king of the world!"

Shao Shuaijun, you want to be the king of the world, then let me help you!

It doesn't matter the result, only the dream!

Or...
