    Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu are also old acquaintances. They met each other as early as the 2004 Golden Horse Awards.  After that, we were both filming movies in Hollywood, and we met each other often. Although we didn't have a close friendship, we were still half friends.  Li Yu's youngest son also appeared in Shao Shuaijun's "Teddy Bear", playing the Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh.  "I went to see "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" last night. It was a very exciting movie." Li Yu said while drinking tea. "Now that Yusen Wu has returned to the mainland to make movies, you and I are the only ones left to support Hollywood. Chinese directors are all  It¡¯s almost extinct. It¡¯s not easy.¡± ¡°Yeah, domestic directors can¡¯t go out. This is a problem.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just directors who can¡¯t go out, but the film industry can¡¯t go out. If everyone can be like you.  Fang Tongchi, that¡¯s awesome. Recently, my son has become obsessed with your song and keeps yelling ¡°I¡¯m China-Style¡± every day. As the media said, you have a magical aura and can play anything.  It¡¯s very popular.¡± Li Yu also imitated China-Style twice.  "It's good to be popular, but if you don't win an award, you are now the best director at the Oscars. Sitting in front of you, I feel a head shorter." Shao Shuaijun shook his head.  He has been making movies for many years, and the total box office is estimated to be more than 2 billion US dollars, but he has won very few awards. Except for the Saturn Award for Best Director, he has not won any shit.  "If you don't make art films, it will be difficult to win awards. "Avatar" ranked first in the box office in the world, and it also took 1.05 billion yuan in the mainland, which pushed your "Oldboy" down. As a result, only Oscars were awarded.  You can win some technical awards. You should also try more art films. Are you not tired of making commercial films? " "You can see how happy I am in making commercial films.  "We've been chatting for a long time and haven't asked you what you want to do with me?" "I can't have a meal with you if I have nothing to do?" Li Yu said sourly. Compared with Shao Shuaijun, it's the same.  As a Chinese director of The Three Musketeers, he could only get some directing fees, not even a share of the profits.  With Shao Shuaijun, he was a complete pauper.  "Okay, didn't I invite you to tea? If you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, you must be in trouble." Li Yu cleared his throat: "That's it, I'm going to invite you to this year's Golden Horse Awards. I also know that you and the Golden Horse  There has always been a misunderstanding about the award. This time I served as a judge for the Golden Horse Awards with the purpose of uniting filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places to invigorate the Chinese film industry. You are the leader of mainland directors, and you need to take the lead.  Well, under your influence in recent years, many mainland filmmakers have refused to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. If the quarrel continues, we Chinese will be in disarray again." Shao Shuaijun smiled awkwardly: "I really didn't have any influence, "The Night Watcher".  I have forgotten what happened at that time. In the past few years, Hollywood movies have been made one after another, and I rarely pay attention to Chinese film awards. However, what you said does make sense. It is time for the three places to cooperate. " Li  Shao Shuaijun is a director who sincerely cares about Chinese-language films, and Shao Shuaijun also hopes that Chinese-language films will rise. The two parties have the same desire, and a lot of decisions were made while chatting.  Shao Shuaijun will attend the Golden Horse Awards this time, and Dream Chaser will also encourage its directors and actors to attend the Golden Horse Awards.  And at the beginning of next year, we will strive to hold an exchange meeting for directors from the three places across the Taiwan Strait to jointly promote the development of Chinese-language films.  With Li Yu pushing it in Baodao, Shao Shuaijun pushing it in mainland China, and directors like Chen Jiashang pushing it in Hong Kong, this meeting will inevitably make some immediate changes.  After talking about Chinese movies, Shao Shuaijun suddenly said: "By the way, I bought a book before, "The Life of Pi". This book is very popular, but many people say it cannot be adapted into a movie. I think it has a lot of potential.  "You happen to have nothing to do recently, why don't I ask you to direct it as the first step to promote director exchanges?" "Yes, I have wanted to adapt this book for a long time."  , but I feel like I still can¡¯t grasp some of the content. My research on literary and artistic films is not very deep. It would undoubtedly be a pity if you only make commercial films. You are the most particular about making literary and artistic films among Chinese directors. Do you have any?  Interested? I plan to make this book the highlight of Dream Entertainment, let Dream Golden Harvest, Summit Entertainment and Dream South Asia jointly invest, as an exchange in the world film industry," Shao Shuaijun outlined the blueprint.  China, India, and the United States are definitely the three holy places for future world movies.  Needless to say, the United States is now the center of world cinema.  China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has no reason why it cannot develop into a film center.  India is an unknown country, but film is India's pillar industry. Moreover, India has always wanted to surpass China in terms of population. It is definitely a country with potential.  Dream Chasing Entertainment is a company that aspires to become an entertainment giant.??, it is necessary to layout one's own industrial scale, and the advantage of Dream Chase Entertainment is that it spans three countries and can effectively integrate the markets in three places.  "The Life of Pi" can be regarded as an integration attempt, with Chinese directors, American production, and Indian shooting, a perfect cooperation method.  The plan was very tempting, but Li Yu did not refuse or agree immediately. He wanted to go back and think about it carefully.  We agreed to give an answer when we meet at the Golden Horse Awards.  After drinking tea, Shao Shuaijun invited Li Yu to his home. Li Yu was in a hurry to promote exchanges between directors from the three places and had no time.  After that, they all dispersed. After Shao Shuaijun paid the bill, he went home directly to accompany his wife and look forward to their child.  On August 9, the three-day weekend release of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has ended, and the box office around the world has been summarized by Summit Entertainment.  This weekend¡¯s North American box office list, as predicted by the media, no one can stop the pace of "War for the Planet of the Apes". Except for a new film "The Cop", there is no new movie.  Therefore, on the first weekend of August, "War for the Planet of the Apes" swept the box office list with US$86.75 million.  This result greatly exceeded the US$50 million predicted by experts. As a remake of a movie, the result is really incredible.  In China, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is also unstoppable. Movies originally scheduled for August have been moved forward or postponed due to the schedule of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".  Therefore, after three days of Friday, Saturday, and July, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" earned 140.2 million yuan, with an astonishing momentum.  ??Across the world, they all started with strong results and delivered answers.  Especially in Japan, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" topped the charts with 1.1 billion yen in three days, making the Japanese media exclaim.  Because this is Shao Shuaijun's movie, the 25th box-office weekly champion in Japan.  "33 Days of Love" twice, "Source Code" twice, "Painted Skin" 4 times, "Inception" 4 times, "500 Days of Summer" twice, "Heartbeat" once, "Old Man" once  "Boy" 3 times, "Teddy Bear" 4 times.  "Shao Shuaijun has surpassed Cheng Long and become the most successful Chinese-language filmmaker at the box office in Japan." - "Asahi Shimbun".  After winning strong championships in many places, the global results of "War for the Planet of the Apes" have also been totaled, with a total box office of US$210 million, a perfect answer.  "Shao Shuaijun is the most successful commercial director in Hollywood. His success lies in the fact that he always succeeds!" - "Variety Show".  "Shao Shuaijun is an unavoidable director in the history of film. You know, we have become accustomed to ignoring his age. Often mentioning that he is only twenty-four years old this year will make many directors depressed and uncomfortable! At his age, Cameron  Before he embraced his ex-wife (his ex-wife invested in the first movie "Terminator"), Spielberg was interested in movies, but he didn't have any tricks, and he couldn't even get into school.  Brilliant, there is definitely a chance to surpass the achievements of Cameron and Spielberg in the commercial field!" - "Faces".  Amid the commotion, another weekend passed from August 13th to 15th. This week, "The Hunger Games" made a full box office with a global box office of US$650 million.  "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1)" has also accumulated a box office of 640 million U.S. dollars, and is still in theaters around the world. With this momentum, it seems that it will not be a problem for the global box office to exceed 700 million.  This week, there are two new movies in Hollywood that will be released on a large scale, Sony's "Girls Are Forever" and Universal's "Scottish", plus last week's "Dragon" which performed well, and together they will round up "Apes".  The Rise of the Ball¡±.  After three days of smokeless war, the results came out.  "Despicable Me" produced by Universal, although it has been released for 6 weeks, has still achieved good results of US$6.76 million, ranking fifth. It has accumulated US$220 million in North America. The producer has released news that "Despicable Me"  Me 2" started production.  "Scottish", also produced by Universal, was not so lucky. It ranked fourth with US$8.79 million, which was seriously inconsistent with Universal's expectations. It can be said that Universal's record this year is second to "Despicable Me".  Outside, the entire army was wiped out, and the position of the Sixth Army was in danger.  Sony¡¯s ¡°The Bitch¡± and ¡°Girls For Life¡± are pretty good, ranking third and second with $11 million and $18 million respectively. ?? And the top spot is still "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". It continued its efforts over the three days this weekend and achieved a super result of 75.6 million US dollars. The ticket sales fell by less than 13%, which once again shocked everyone.  While the total box office in North America has reached 200 million US dollars, in mainland China, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" once again won the weekly championship with 125.6 million yuan, with a total box office of 265.8 million yuan.  In Japan, the trend of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is even higher, with a record of 1.6 billion yen, which is Shao Shuaijun's 26th championship title in Japan.  The global box office has been gratifying, with the total box office reaching a height of US$405 million.  "With Hollywood running out of creative ideas, "Apes""The Rise" raised the collective IQ of this year's summer movies, and the shift in collective thinking.  "¡ª¡ª"Wall Street Journal". "Planet of the Apes performed well, but the performance of the human image was disappointing. In addition, the film abandoned the social politics of the original theme and replaced it with a warning about animal experimentation and human sin.  "¡ª¡ª"National Public Radio" (USA). ""Rise of the Planet of the Apes", as the name suggests, apes rise up and find their dignity under the toy of humans. This is a B-level movie that exceeds its expected goals.  "¡ª¡ª"New York Post". "Time.com score 8.5, IMDB score 8.7, Rotten Tomatoes website 86 freshness, Time.com movie review 89 vividness, Yahoo film critic A- rating, audience A rating. Word-of-mouth and box office are all red.  Just like "Inception" back then, everyone is paying attention to how far "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" will go. (To be continued.
