Director’s Legend

Originally, Shao Shuaijun planned to adapt "Old Boy" after the filming of "The Night Watcher". This is a story he touched deeply. But things are a bit twisty. "The Night Watcher" taught him enough lessons that made him decide to make classic movies first, laying a solid foundation, and then thinking about walking his dream path later.

So, first filmed "Inception".

"Old Boy" was put on hold. That day, I told Huang Bo that I was going to postpone the filming because Shao Shuaijun suddenly thought that this is a film that pays tribute to Michael Jackson. It was only after the news of Michael Jackson's death that it came to this. Movies.

And MJ died in 2009, that is to say, it is best to wait for the film to be shot after 2009. Anyway, the original author Chopstick Brothers has become a dream artist, and there is no need to worry about "Old Boy" being released by them in advance.

After putting "Old Boy" on hold, Shao Shuaijun pondered for a while. Now time is running out and there are fewer and fewer good works that can be shot. There are several works that he knows, and he has already acquired the copyright, such as "Weakness: The Progress of the Competition", which can be slowly kept for shooting.

After much deliberation, Shao Shuaijun set his sights on a low-cost movie.

"Recently filming "Nightman" and "Inception", I am tired, take it easy and adjust." Shao Shuaijun turned on the computer, opened the document, and typed a few words.

500 days with Summer.

"Tom makes a living by writing various congratulatory messages for greeting cards. He is full of wonderful romance and does not intend to be dumped by his girlfriend, Summer. In order to reflect on the problems between him and Summer, Tom began to recall the past of himself and this girl. 500 days together..."

To be honest, this movie from the previous life was quite interesting. It was a fight with "33 Days of Broken Love". As a new director's debut, there are no big stars, no big publicity, and there are few theaters. It still wins in North America. Good box office and good reputation.

As long as it is produced, coupled with the publicity of Summit Entertainment, and Shao Shuaijun's current popularity, "500 Days with Shamo" is hard to imagine. The most important thing is that this movie is very good to shoot, and it is suitable for relaxing. When Shao Shuaijun filmed "Inception of Dreams", the whole person was in a sub-excited state, and he couldn't sleep well or eat well.

Now I am eager to make adjustments with such a warm, small-cost production of art films.

If I am used to making commercial films, I should use such a film to find some of the most touching feelings in my heart.

After making up his mind, Shao Shuaijun immersed himself in the script.

"33 Days of Broken Love" is 33 days after being broken in love. During these 33 days, Huang Xiaoxian found a new love. And "500 Days with Summer", Tom recalled 500 days of love with Summer. Through these 500 days, he found the essence of love. They are all talking about love stories, and they have a lot in common in essence. Of course, the focus is different.

As he hit the script, the box office of "Inception" rose firmly.

From January 25th to 27th, the sixth weekend box office released in North America, won $9.6 million, ranking sixth. The total box office in North America totaled 280.1 million US dollars.

From January 21 to January 27, in the sixth week of the mainland, he won 18.2 million yuan and was still the champion of the week. This is also the sixth consecutive championship. I have to say that there is only one "Inception" in the Lunar New Year archive. With the help of the Oscar-nominated Dongfeng, with a total box office of 504.2 million yuan, it finally broke the 500 million yuan super barrier.

"Inception has broken all records in the mainland!" Time.com gave a set of recorded data, allowing all audiences to feel the strength of the movie the most shocking.

The box office on the first day was also the highest box office record of 40 million yuan on Friday.

The record box office on Monday was 30.2 million yuan.

The highest box office on Tuesday was 29.8 million yuan.

The record box office on Wednesday was 30.1 million yuan.

The box office record on Thursday was 29.9 million yuan.

The highest box office on Saturday was 52 million yuan.

The highest box office on Sunday was 56 million yuan.

The box office record in the third week was 78.5 million yuan.

The box office record for the fourth week was 53 million yuan.

The box office record in the fifth week was 31 million yuan.

It broke the 500 million box office record the fastest in 37 days.

The highest box office record for the Midnight Show was RMB 10 million, which was the extra midnight show on Saturday of the first week of the show.

The movie with the most weekly titles in a row, 6 times.

The movie that has accumulated the most weekly titles, 6 times.

The highest box office record was RMB 504.2 million, which is still being refreshed.

When this series of records were recorded, even Shao Shuaijun himself was taken aback. He knew that "Inception" was a mess, but he didn't have an intuitive impression. At this moment, I was truly shocked. It was simply a refresh of the mainland film history. Before 1994, without counting, there were few movies that could be released for more than 6 weeks. The box office behind was simply dedicated to "Pirates." "Dream Space" is waiting.

It has been confirmed that the movie will be released in the mainland for five to six weeks, which means there is still a chance to refresh. However, basically by the eighth week, there is no difference between recording and not recording. Some fragmented movies may be released on a small scale for a month or two, and then released on a large scale, so this record is not well received.

With the strong momentum in the mainland, the global box office of Inception is still rising, with North America alone at 280 million U.S. dollars. Although the momentum in North America and the mainland has begun to slow down, the box office of those countries and regions that have been released soon is still very high. Prosperous. The global total has reached 800 million US dollars.

This data has surpassed "Shrek 3" and reached the fourth position of the annual global box office list. The first one is the US$890 million Spider-Man 3, the US$938 million Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and this year’s champion, the US$961 million Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End.

Time flies, and soon another weekend arrives.

In the Mainland, the title of the Weekly Champion was finally handed over, 6.5 million yuan a week, a small refresh of the box office data for the seventh week.

In North America this week, Inception was only scheduled to be released in more than 800 theaters and won the weekend box office of 3.5 million US dollars. However, compared with the weekend box office, the weekly box office reached nearly 10 million. In this period, it is not office workers who choose to watch Inception, but people who are bored and don't like watching movies on weekends.

North America is 290.5 million US dollars, the mainland is 510.7 million yuan, and the global is 860 million US dollars. Has squeezed into the top 20 of the global box office list, has surpassed "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" global $ 848 million, ranking seventeenth!

Shao Shuaijun twisted his neck after locking up the script of "500 Days with Summer".

Today is February 4, 2008, and the day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

The past year is about to pass, and a new year is coming! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
