    The acquisition of Lucasfilm will also need to be reviewed by the U.S. antitrust organization, and the procedures will be very cumbersome.  Therefore, after the press conference, Shao Shuaijun did not have a more in-depth conversation with Lucas. If the acquisition failed, the conversation would be a joke.  As the hostess, Li Xiuxiu invited Lucas to have dinner with her. No business was discussed at the table. Lucas was more interested in Shao Shuaijun's movie "The Nighthawks: Reflection", so Shao Shuaijun discussed his setting plan with Lucas.  .  It¡¯s not often that you can communicate with a legendary director.  "Listening to your explanation, "Nighthawk: Reflection" is a complete subversion of the plot of "Nighthawk", but it is more reasonable, and the concept is much improved. As you can imagine, this is definitely an amazing modification!" "  George, do you think this modification will be successful? " "Why not, I think it's a cool story, although it's biased towards the dark side. I've seen the IMAX version of "The Nighthawks", and the pictures are very shocking. It's your first time.  The plot processing is a bit rough, but this subversive change, coupled with the impact of such scenes, will surprise the audience. "Thank you." With Lucas's approval, Shao Shuaijun felt more confident.  The next day, Shao Shuaijun returned to the crew again and spent three days shooting the last set of shots. Then, "Night Watcher: Reflection" was completed.  "Hi, everyone, this filming was very hard. To be honest, I don't know if this reconstructed plot can be recognized by the audience. But I want to say, thank you for your hard work these two months, regardless of whether it is successful or not,  We mustered up the courage to make up for the regrets of that year. This November is the time to test our results. No matter whether we can meet again in the future, at least we are happier than most crews who can only get together once. Thank you all.  Cheers! "Clang, full of champagne collided, and what was spilled was not wine, but laughter.  After finishing the filming of "Nightwatch: Reflection", Shao Shuaijun completed the editing of the film and handed it over to Louis Renard to help supervise the post-production.  Now that we have Jiahe D2, and will soon have ILM, we can produce and sell movie special effects by ourselves.  After finishing this work, the filming of "Avengers" was put on the table.  With the actors assembled and the crew preparing, Shao Shuaijun flew to India.  The cast of "Life of Pi" is holding a casting event in Mumbai, India. This casting event organized by Dream Chase South Asia has attracted tens of thousands of Indians to participate.  Countless people come to sign up every day. The number of people is unimaginable. There is no way. The three films released by Dream South Asia last year broke the Indian box office three times and made several Indian superstars famous.  These Indians are full of expectations for this movie and naturally want to be selected and become big stars.  The casting process will last for six months to select the suitable candidate for "Pi" in Li Yu's mind.  At the same time, it is also very important to build shooting bases in Hong Kong, Taiwan, French India, and Magic City.  The world's largest fully automatic wave device tank will be built in Hong Kong to simulate wind and waves on the sea.  The magnificent and mysterious floating islands on the sea in the movie will be filmed in Bairong Garden in Kenting, a treasure island.  The urban scenery will be photographed in the magical city.  The most important thing is that the early scenes of the film will be shot in the local governance of French India.  Shao Shuaijun did not participate in the casting. Li Yu is the director and he has his own ideas.  Shao Shuaijun mainly went to French India to choose suitable shooting locations.  French India is the general name for the territories occupied by France in India in the past. It was later returned to India and these places are still called French India.  Because this place has been ruled by France for a long time, the customs and customs have been Frenchized, and many people still retain their French nationality and live French lives. In addition, it is close to the seaside, and the scenery and environment are just like France, making it very suitable for tourism and filming.  Local governance is a city, the most famous place in French India, with picturesque scenery.  With several assistants, bodyguards, and photographers from the crew, and accompanied by Indian staff who were pursuing dreams in South Asia, Shao Shuaijun worked locally for a long time.  In "The Life of Pi", "Pi" lived his childhood in the fictional Pondicherry Zoo. There was no zoo in the local government, and eventually everyone decided to transform the local botanical garden into a zoo.  The local government is also very supportive of this film shooting and specially opened the thousand-year-old Viryanur Temple for the crew to shoot.  All in all, this trip was very fruitful. A total of 18 locations were found for outdoor scenes in local governance and French India, and a studio was set up in the Muslim area.  When Li Yu came over from Mumbai, he was very satisfied with these scenes: "Director Shao, this place is really beautiful. I feel now that I can just place the camera anywhere and shoot, and the shots will be beautiful." "Are you satisfied?"Okay, you are in charge of the shooting, and I will handle the logistics for you. If there are any shortcomings, just tell me directly. If I am not around, Sister Wang Wei will cooperate with you.  Sister Wang and I are old friends and have worked together on many movies. She is very capable of doing things.  " I discussed the script with Li Eucalyptus for a few days. It was almost the end of February, and the 83rd Oscar Awards Ceremony was about to be held. However, Shao Shuaijun did not plan to attend this award ceremony, because the entire 2010 Summit Entertainment coaxing  It has achieved outstanding commercial success, but it was completely wiped out at the Oscars. Only "Iron Man 2" and "War for the Planet of the Apes" were nominated for best visual effects, but these two films have no chance of winning.  Big, because this year Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" was released. Although Shao Shuaijun doesn't like this director who has despised China, he knows with his toes that "Hugo" is destined to win the award in the theater.  Shao Shuaijun has no interest in sitting around for half a night just to applaud others. Socially, Shao Shuaijun is always a bit reluctant to engage in messy things. For example, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invited him to serve as an Oscar judge, but Shao Shuaijun refused.  He was asked to be the presenter, but he also refused. The reason was simple. He had never won an individual Oscar, so he was too embarrassed to get in! Others tried hard to get in. Shao Shuaijun was asked several times, but he just refused to do it.  It¡¯s like going to the Berlin Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, or Venice Film Festival. He feels that he is far away from art. It would be nice to make movies and have fun. Talking about art is too hypocritical. When the Oscar is over, sure enough, "Hugo" won.  In March, Shao Shuaijun left India and flew back to the United States, which also meant that "Avengers" officially entered the filming stage. Of course, among the members of the Women's Federation (that is, the Avengers), Louise  Lenard and Gao Zhisheng, as the assistant directors of the crew, first started to set up the studio. Shao Shuaijun went to Jiahe D2 Studio in Florida, where "Nighthawks: Reflection" was undergoing post-production.  In two or three days, we will deal with the problems encountered during the production. At this time, there was another buzz outside: "Breaking news!  Summit Entertainment General Manager Mitchell Bruce appeared in Glendale, California, and met with DreamWorks Animation President Lewis Coleman.  Summit Entertainment¡¯s fourth acquisition this year has surfaced, acquiring DreamWorks Animation and fully entering the animated film industry!  "¡ª¡ª"The Sun". "The Sun", known as the most pervasive newspaper, disclosed the shocking news and accompanied it with a slightly blurry photo. It can still be seen in the photo that Mitchell and Coleman were in the parking lot together.  Image of shaking hands. ¡°Shao, I¡¯m sorry, my whereabouts are being followed.  "Mitchell called Shao Shuaijun immediately. Shao Shuaijun frowned: "It's not your fault, Mitchell.  Now that this matter is known to the media, will it have an impact on our acquisition of DreamWorks?  "There will definitely be an impact. Walt Disney has also been seeking cooperation with DreamWorks before. I'm worried that Disney will compete with us and participate in the acquisition."  " "Cut the knot quickly, spend more money, don't be afraid of spending money, you will earn as much as you spend, we must not give up on animated movies.  If the acquisition really fails, then make second-hand preparations now to acquire Armand Animation Company!  " "Well, I will seize the time to negotiate with DreamWorks. Shao, if possible, how about I invite you and Katzenberg to have dinner together?  You are the most visionary director and boss on the planet. You can outline a bright blueprint for the future to him. With your backing on the Chinese market, this is much more effective than my words!  " "Haha, forget it, I don't know how to negotiate.  " "There is no need to negotiate, you just need to outline the prospects to Katzenberg. We are professional businessmen, and what we say is too unconvincing. It will be different if you say it. You are the most visionary director in Hollywood!  Just tell him about the prospect of joining Summit Entertainment.  " "Then I'll give it a try, but don't have high expectations. I might just be able to talk to him without even talking to him.  "Shao Shuaijun was a little hesitant. What he hates most is dealing with people in a business way. DreamWorks was originally just a studio, led by the great director Steven Spielberg, animation geek Jeffrey Katzenberg and  It was founded in 1994 by three music godfathers, David Geffen. In the 1990s, Hollywood was monopolized by big studios. In order to pursue free creation, these three people founded DreamWorks with their talents.  With their respective appeals, they built DreamWorks into a dream kingdom. At its peak, even the Big Six Hollywood companies had to shy away. However, it was difficult for independent film companies to reach the heights of the Big Six without the support of major entertainment groups.?In terms of financial resources and available entertainment resources, it cannot match its opponents.  In addition, Jeffrey Katzenberg only liked to make animations, and David Geffen was tired of the risks of investing in movies. Finally, in 2004, DreamWorks split into DreamWorks Films and DreamWorks Animation.  Pillberg is in charge of the film company, Katzenberg is in charge of the animation company, and David Geffen announced that he will no longer be involved in DreamWorks affairs.  In the same year, Katzenberg took DreamWorks Animation public.  DreamWorks Pictures was first sold to Paramount by Spielberg. In 2009, it left Paramount with "Transformers 2" and fell into the arms of Walt Disney.  The kingdom of free films that was founded with dreams finally collapsed due to various reasons.  DreamWorks Animation, despite its ups and downs, is still the first of the three major animation companies in Hollywood. Even if Disney annexed Pixar, DreamWorks has never lost its reputation. Last year's "How to Train Your Dragon" had a global box office of US$495 million.  "Big Bad" grossed $320 million worldwide, and "Shrek 4" even made $750 million at the global box office.  It can be called the big *OSS in the animation industry.  Let Shao Shuaijun convince this big *OSS in the animation industry. Shao Shuaijun thinks this is a really difficult job. He is more accustomed to throwing money at it and not talking nonsense.  (To be continued.
