—————————————————

Since the establishment of the movie theater screening system in 2002, the number of domestic films breaking 100 million includes 250 million for "Hero" in 2002, 150 million for "House of Flying Daggers" in 2004, 120 million for "Crazy Stone" in 2004, and "A World Without Thieves" in 2004. 120 million, in 2004 "Kung Fu" 160 million.

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

Everyone outside was discussing "Crazy Racing". As another box office miracle with a small budget and no stars, Ning Hao's name was instantly 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 the mainland comedy master. He is the most brilliant in the two crazy films.

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

"The youngest director, the youngest director with a box office of tens of millions, the youngest director with a box office of 100 million yuan, the youngest director with a box office record in North America, the youngest film investor... All of this can only be done by one person, an 85 who has been hot for half the sky in the past year or so. The young man, Shao Shuaijun. We have reason to believe that the future of Chinese films is in the hands of this young man. If his latest masterpiece "Source Code" can continue the miracle, this is not a prophecy, but a fact! Let us work together expect!"

This article is a report on the homepage of Beijing Entertainment Daily, accompanied by a color photo that takes up half of the page. The color photo is a photo of Shao Shuaijun smashing ice sculptures with a hammer at the stone celebration banquet. Shao Shuaijun in the photo has a slight smile on his lips, confident and steady.

Almost the next day, all the media reposted this report, and the same one was used for the picture.

"Shao Shuaijun is a very thoughtful young man. I am optimistic about his future. Yes, I have finished filming "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles". I am preparing for the next film, which is "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" written by Shao Shuaijun." Director Zhang Yimou mentioned Shao Shuaijun in an interview with reporters.

"The racing car is completely said to be Ning Hao's work. I don't know why you guys want to involve Shao Shuaijun. I like Ning Hao, that's all." Feng Xiaogang faced the reporter and avoided talking about Shao Shuaijun.

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

"After imitating the characteristics, the success needs to be proved again. One or two is nothing, I can only evaluate it." Du Qifeng expressed his views on the two crazy movies at Nortel's film conference.

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

"I have watched the two crazy movies. To be honest, we Hong Kong directors can't do this kind of thing. It is simply to label "Two Smoking Barrels" as made in China..." Liu Zhenwei said righteously. Blush or not, Hong Kong movies have a lot of plagiarism.

...

No matter how noisy it is outside, Shao Shuaijun has no time to take care of it now, the racing car is a big hit, and he has to be busy splitting the money! The negotiations for "Source Code" in North America have ended, the schedule has been set, and the promotion is in progress. "Twilight" became a hit in North America, and Felix Publishing took out a representative to discuss the hairstyle of the sequel. When people were preparing to start the machine on Journey, Xu Zhen stayed in the studio and waited to get the money, and led others to act by the way.

"Hello, is this Aunt Liu? I'm Shao Shuaijun. Yes, Sissy is still learning dance in the United States? That's right. "Source Code" has already confirmed its screening plan. It will be released simultaneously in North America and Asia. With Lionsgate, the mainland needs Sissy to come back to participate in the promotion, yes, please as soon as possible."

"Hello, Fan Bingbing? I'm Shao Shuaijun. It's like this, "Source Code" has already...I hope you can come as soon as possible to promote it with Liu Yifei...Me? I'm very busy, I don't have time to promote it, don't worry Well, I just want to go to some TV shows, and I don’t need to go to stations in major cities. "Source Code" is released simultaneously in Asia and North America. When this news is released, there is no need for publicity, word of mouth will come out directly, and you will be very relaxed .”

"Hey, Mr. Wang, give me a certain amount of proceeds first, the studio has been exhausted. Yes, "People on the Journey" has already confirmed the launch time, okay, the distribution can be handed over to Huayi Brothers, a family. For investment, forget it, small cost does not need to attract investment.”

"Hello, who is it, Director Zhang? Oh, you have already decided to start filming "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"? Do you need me to participate? I may not have much time, okay, I will spare time to accompany you to choose the heroine."

"Hey, who is it again? What, the chairman of the judging committee of the Beijing College Student Film Festival, ah, hello Mr. Liu, I will be there on May 13th and the award ceremony will be on May 14th. I know, I must go to participate..."

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

"Ah Jun, I have negotiated with Mr. Rush from Phoenix Publishing House, and now I am going to the United States to discuss the distribution rights of the sequel. What do I need to do?"

"In this way, the distribution rights of sequels are no longer determined according to the number of sales. We have to take the majority. This is the bottom line. The copyright of the film and the copyright of the film cannot be changed. In addition, it is time to establish a company. The money for establishing the company will come from "Twilight" Se" distribution fee. Well...be careful on the road, without my supervision, don't be corrupted by US capital, haha!"

"Cut, sister needs someone to supervise? But you, now a big capitalist, don't plan to raise our wages. You really have the stingy demeanor of a capitalist." It's full of boredom, and you can make jokes at will.

Shao Shuaijun straightened his face: "Student Li Xiuxiu, let's discuss how to revitalize Chinese-language films."

...

The box office share of "Crazy Racing" was delayed, but Huayi Brothers directly handed over all the box office received to Shao Shuaijun's studio. 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".

The current total box office is 150 million yuan. Excluding the film fund and business tax, as well as 50% of the movie theater share, 7% of the theater line share, and 5% of the distributor share, the total producer share is 66 million yuan. Against equal distribution, Shao Shuaijun's studio earned a total of 33 million yuan.

Excluding the 7.5 million yuan allocated to Xu Zhan's "On the Journey", the studio has already 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 looked at the amount in the account and laughed wantonly.

After laughing for a while, Shao Shuaijun began to shake his head again: "The Chinese film market is still too small. "Buried Alive" has earned a box office of more than 180 million yuan in North America, which is not at the same level as the mainland. To make a movie, you still have to go to North America. It's a money grab! "Source Code", I'm looking forward to it more and more! Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, Du Qifeng, Liu Zhenwei, racing is not a face-slap, "Source Code" will let you know the pain!"
