Director’s Legend

Chapter 79: [Too lazy to move]

In this world, if you don't count the number of bosses of Dengtian Entertainment, Shao Shuaijun will definitely know the most. Before his rebirth, he signed a contract with Dengtian Shijiu, a subsidiary of Dengtian Entertainment. It was because of Dengtian Entertainment’s temporary removal of director that Shao Shuaijun would get drunk and live again.

For this company, Shao Shuaijun's mood is complicated, with gratitude and resentment. Thankfully, the company at least saw his talents and approved the 27-year-old him as a director. The resentment is that he was disqualified as a director by the company because of unspoken rules.

But in any case, China's entertainment giants are absolutely indispensable in Dengtian Entertainment, and even Dengtian Entertainment acquired Hong Kong Jiahe, and Huayi Brothers has become the first stock of entertainment in the mainland. Especially in the future, Dengtian Entertainment has begun to integrate entertainment, open up the entertainment industry chain, acquire Jiahe, and cooperate with Japan's AVEX, which is ambitious.

AVEX is a music company that splits the market equally with Sony in Japan, and is an independent major shareholder of Korea**, which is of great benefit to Dengtian Entertainment's market development in Asia. Although Jiahe is no longer proud, it is still the most influential film company in the entire Greater China region.

It can be said that before Shao Shuaijun's rebirth, Dengtian Entertainment has completed the layout of the world film market. If such an entertainment giant can catch up on the line, it is naturally a top choice. Shao Shuaijun had some concerns in his heart, but he also understood that the cooperation Li Xiuxiu said was in his own interests.

"Sister Xiuxiu, let go of what you should do, I believe you."

Li Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows: "I'm not afraid I will sell you for money?"

"It doesn't matter if I sell it, I will worry about these troubles, so I will be a part-time worker. Whoever pays, I will help whoever makes a movie, and become the next James Cameron, haha."

"I have served you, and I have no ambitions. But that's okay. I have a crappy boss to show off my talent. You can make movies with peace of mind, Ajun, and I will take care of the company."

...

The box office of "Source Code" has been confirmed in North America and Asia and overseas. Within a few days, Huayi Brothers brought a reply. The mainland box office of 98 million has been confirmed and cannot be changed. Under the mediation of Wang Zhongjun, Poly Bona And Media Asia Variety has agreed to divide it according to the 100 million mark, that is to say, Shao Shuaijun does not need to take out a 5% share.

However, the two companies are reluctant to answer how much the total box office is after all.

After being divided, Shao Shuaijun received a share of 7 million, and the Huayi Brothers privately gave 2 million to compensate for the reduction in the box office. If calculated like this, the total box office of "Source Code" in the Mainland should exceed 150 million. It was originally a club movie with a box office of 100 million yuan, but it was squeezed out abruptly because of the profit of several million.

At this time, the ticket checking of domestic theaters is all manual, and it is easy to fool the box office. Shao Shuaijun can't help it. You can only pinch your nose and eat this dumb loss. In the end, relying on "Source Code", the studio's total income is 46 million yuan, excluding the previous investment of 5 million, a net profit of 41 million.

More importantly, Shao Shuaijun's name has been engraved in the history of Chinese movies. The mainland's most-grossing director has a global box office of 800 million, which is 100 million more than "Hero". But after hearing the news, Miramax Pictures, which bought the copyright of "Hero", is also planning to arrange "Hero" to be released in North America in the near future. At that time, it is hard to say who is the king of the mainland.

Huayi, Bona, and Media Asia jointly held a grand celebration banquet at Kunlun International Hotel. Not only Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, and Huang Bo gathered together, but also countless well-known directors and stars came to join in.

The ice sculpture of 800 million was shining brightly. Shao Shuaijun was expressionless, caught between Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong and Zhuang Cheng, breaking the ice sculpture. Everyone, both Yu Dong and Zhuang Cheng, seemed to forget about the shrinking of the box office. It was a brilliant smile. Only Shao Shuaijun could not squeeze a smile.

Wow!

The ice sculptures shattered into powder, and the reporter's flashlight kept flickering.

Soon, long guns and short cannons stretched out.

"Director Shao, won 800 million box office worldwide and became the most successful director in the Mainland. What do you want to say to everyone?"

Shao Shuaijun sternly said, "I am not the most successful, so I have nothing to say."

"Director Shao, with the success of "Source Code" in North America and Asia, and it is said that it has begun to enter the European market. So, Director Shao, do you have plans for the next movie? Will it be a bigger investment? Will it focus on the North American market?"

"I have no plans for new works for the time being."

"Excuse me, Director Shao, what do you think of the "Source Code" box office in mainland China that has not exceeded 100 million yuan?"

"You should ask the investor."

"So, Mr. Wang, Mr. Yu, Mr. Zhuang, what do you think?"

Yu Dong smiled and said: ""Source Code" is a very successful commercial science fiction movie. It can get 800 million box office. This honor is indelible. As for the domestic box office, I can only say that the box office cannot represent everything. The high reputation of "Source Code" can already explain the success of "Source Code."

Zhuang Cheng also said with a smile: "As one of the investors, we are very happy to participate in the "Source Code". The success of "Source Code" proves that Hong Kong and the Mainland will join forces and become a model of future success. If possible, we hope to launch more co-productions."

"Director Shao, there are rumors that there is a conflict between you and Feng Xiaogang. Is this true?"

Shao Shuaijun hasn’t answered yet, Wang Zhonglei rushed to say: “This is a fictitious matter. Feng Xiaogang and Shao Shuaijun are both co-directors of Huayi Brothers. There is no contradiction between them. I hope reporters will not catch the wind.

"But at the University Student Film Festival, Feng Xiaogang won the prize. Why didn't Shao Shuaijun applaud?" The reporter pointed out sharply that after the scene was broadcast, it caused quite a stir. It's just that both parties did not accept the reporter's interview, so it stopped.

Wang Zhonglei didn't know how to answer, and Shao Shuaijun suddenly said: "Director Feng Xiaogang and I don't have any friendship, they are very strange, so there is no contradiction. The reason why I didn't applaud was just because I was too lazy to move."

"Is it too lazy to do even the necessary etiquette? Or it is just because he is Feng Xiaogang that I don't bother to move, but everyone else applauds."

"Sometimes I'm too lazy to move, sometimes I'm more diligent, why are so many." Shao Shuaijun said with a stern face, since he entered here, he has been in a bad mood. First I saw a few hypocrites, and my heart was panicked, but now I was stabbed by the reporter again. Shao Shuaijun really wanted to ask this reporter if he was a fool. Feng Xiaogang said so many bad things about him before. He then refused to applaud. The fools could see that the two were wrong. As for the bottom line?

Shao Shuaijun was frustrated and grabbed the microphone and said, "Today is the "Source Code" celebration party. Please ask more about the "Source Code", okay?"

Click and click, flashing flashes, another round of long guns and short shots.
