    From May 18th to 20th, it was the third weekend of "Avengers" in North America. It faced a big challenge. "Battleship", which was making waves overseas, was released in North America.  All competitors of Summit Entertainment have placed their hopes that "Battleship" can KO "Avengers" and prevent the Women's Federation from continuing to be so arrogant.  But, the ending is tragic.  "Battleship" hit the rocks and sank to the bottom before it even set sail in North America. It only received US$25.3 million, ranking second.  Topping the list is "Avengers", which won three consecutive titles, with a strong momentum of US$60.05 million, and a total North American box office of US$476.5 million, once again setting a new record for the fastest to exceed US$450 million.  It still has a dominant position in North America, and overseas, the Women's Federation has also won three and four consecutive championships. No one can win the title of Women's Federation.  So far, the global box office total is 1.285 billion US dollars. From May 25th to 27th, "Avengers" finally gave up the North American championship title, ending its third consecutive championship.  With US$40.2 million, it ranked second behind "Men in Black 3" with US$55 million.  However, with strong word-of-mouth support, the downward trend in the box office is not high. The total box office in North America reached 532 million US dollars, and it is about to surpass "The Dark Knight" to become the top three in North America.  Overseas revenue was 34 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office total was 1.379 billion U.S. dollars, surpassing the 1.328 billion U.S. dollars of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" and becoming the third highest box office in global film history.  The Women's Federation's strong attack has made Shao Shuaijun's reputation more and more famous. Now no one doubts that Shao Shuaijun is not as good a commercial director as Cameron.  Cameron has been tinkering for 20 to 30 years before he tinkered with a few movies, while Shao Shuaijun tinkered with more than a dozen movies in less than ten years. In terms of quality and quantity, when it comes to commercial success, the two are evenly matched.  "Shao is outstanding and amazing. He is a young man full of magic. I am looking forward to the four magic series he is working on, and I also hope to be involved. With a man who shares the same technical interests with me,  It¡¯s a wonderful thing to work with directors.¡± In an interview with reporters, Cameron praised Shao Shuaijun for promoting the four major fantasy series to the world: ¡°I talked a lot with Shao at the Beijing Film Festival, and we both have a deep understanding of the film.  New technologies are full of curiosity and desire. I have spent many years immersed in researching 3D technology. Now we all agree that extended technologies such as 5D will be a new movie experience, and the four magic series will use these new technologies.  Currently two of the most outstanding young people in Hollywood, Nolan is too obsessed with old-fashioned film technology and opposed to 3D and digital. This is why I don¡¯t like Nolan and I like Shao Shuaijun. Directors must try various possibilities and cannot limit themselves.¡±  Cameron had just finished talking about the four major fantasy series, and Shao Shuaijun sent an invitation to Cameron, inviting him to direct a movie in the series of Immortals, Buddhas, Gods and Demons, and to serve as the producer of the series.  "James, the temporary title of this story is "Sun Wukong: Havoc in Heaven". It is based on the story in the four famous Chinese novels "Journey to the West". The script is very interesting and very simple and straightforward. It is about Sun Wukong rebelling against Heaven and gaining freedom for his compatriots.  "Have you thought carefully about letting me serve as the producer of this series? I don't know much about Chinese myths and legends." "It doesn't matter. The scripts are the best. We need your experience to guide you.  We should better break through the shackles of Chinese-language films and keep pace with the world. " "But now I need to direct "Avatar 2" "We can wait. The four major fantasy series do not need to be launched at the same time. I am currently working on it.  The Ancient Legend series has an experimental nature, and I have launched several small-scale movies. I hope you can come over and serve as the producer of the movie "The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer" directed by me, and just take the time to come over and provide guidance. " "  "I think I agreed." "Great, that's settled." Shao Shuaijun had already planned to convince James Cameron to serve as the producer of the four major fantasy series.  There are many, but in the business field, Cameron is definitely the one with the most forward-looking vision and the one who strives for excellence.  "Terminator", "Alien", "Titanic", and "Avatar" are all movies that have influenced Hollywood for many years. With Cameron at the helm of the four major fantasy series, Shao Shuaijun can draw this blueprint with more confidence.  From the global craze of superheroes to the hot sales of series of movies such as "Harry Potter", "Twilight", "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".  It can be seen that as the special effects become more and more excellent, the audience of fantasy series of movies is getting wider and wider, and the younger generation who have become the main force in the box office are becoming more and more accustomed to this type of fantasy movies.  If done well, the four major fantasy series will never lose to the Marvel Cinematic Universe trio.  Movies adapted from Marvel comics do have comicsIt¡¯s a bonus for fans, but people who haven¡¯t read Marvel comics still enjoy reading it. This is the charm of magical colors.  In the past, the only way to watch a movie was to go to the cinema. Therefore, those romantic movies with good reputation can still achieve incredible box office.  Now that the Internet has developed, you can watch a romantic movie on your computer. There is no need to go to the cinema. It is particularly difficult for a romantic movie to get a miracle box office.  Magic films and science fiction films are different. The visual special effects of these films have a huge bonus. There is a huge difference between going to the cinema and not going to the cinema. In the future, only fantasy and science fiction films will create miracles at the box office.  Looking at the new century, among the movies that have achieved good box office, which one is not a visual special effects blockbuster?  In the 21st century, the only movies that can make it into the top ten box office in North America are "Avatar", "The Avengers", "The Dark Knight", "Shrek 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Treasure".  Except for one cartoon, they are all visual effects blockbusters.  Even the movies that make it into the top 100 are basically monopolized by visual effects blockbusters.  This is the current situation of film development. Only by following the trend can we ride the tide.  It¡¯s hard to say that Chinese-language films can¡¯t be successful because the visual effects are too sloppy.  Foreigners don¡¯t understand the stories told by Chinese people, and they don¡¯t even get to watch the scenes. Of course they don¡¯t like Chinese movies, Chinese-language movies. ?? If the four major fantasy series want to break out, they must first work hard on the hardware. In this regard, James Cameron is the absolute authority.  Time flies, and the first phase of script collection has ended. Shao Shuaijun and the screenwriting team of Jiahe Entertainment have selected hundreds of excellent scripts, as well as thousands of excellent outlines and ideas.  After systematic induction and reshaping, the general plot framework of the four major magical series was finally figured out.  The only thing left is to refine the script and prepare for the project.  On June 2, 2012, a grand meeting was held at Jiahe Entertainment Base in Beijing.  The host of the meeting was Yi Jianmei. In addition to several executives from Golden Harvest Entertainment and Summit Entertainment, many directors and screenwriters were present.  Mainland directors include Shao Shuaijun, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gao Zhisheng, Wu Ershan, Li Fangfang, Ning Hao, Wang Yixue, Jiang Zhigang, Yang Ying, etc. Hong Kong directors include Zhou Xingxing, Xu Ke, Chen Jiashang, Cheng Xiaodong, Ye Weixing, Liu Zhenwei, etc., Bao  Currently, the only director on the island is Li Yu, and there are two foreign Chinese directors, Huang Yiyu and James Wan.  Basically, the main force of Chinese directors is here.  This meeting is to discuss the film production of the four major fantasy series. The ability to invite so many directors is entirely supported by the reputation of Shao Shuaijun and Jiahe Entertainment.  "Magic movies will be the main force of commercial movies in the future. My original plan for the four magic series was also based on the idea of ??starting to change Chinese movies commercially. Of course, the four magic series are not just ancient legends, gods, Buddhas, immortals, demons, etc.  The Hundred Schools of Scholars and Biographies of Assassins can also be used to start a separate series of the Emperor's Chronicles, a Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio series, or even a new fantasy series that has no basis in legends." Shao Shuaijun looked at the notes in his hand and said easily: "We have received it so far.  Many of the scripts are very good. The plot framework of this series has been preliminarily sorted out. Everyone has received this plot framework description. As long as it is a story that fits the big plot and has commercial prospects after the script is reviewed, it can be used.  Shooting. Being able to sit here shows that we are interested in the four magic series. I also sincerely invite everyone to join this project." Yi Jianmei took over: "The four magic series were selected by Jiahe Entertainment and Summit Entertainment.  Projects that have always been considered to have good business prospects will be included in the company's future decisions. In fact, Director Shao had this idea as early as when he acquired D2 and ILM. Magic movies will be the mainstream movies in the future. We have the world.  A top special effects company, a world-class screenwriter team, and a world-class distribution company, this will be a major event for the rise of Chinese-language films, and I personally look forward to everyone joining in. " Conference secretary and new female director Yang Ying continued.  I thought of the report: "At present, the four major fantasy series have confirmed the approval of six movies." "They are two parts of the Ancient Legend series, "The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer" directed by Shao, and "Cangjie: The War of Civilization" directed by Gao Zhisheng  Lord"; three parts of the Gods, Demons and Immortals series, James Cameron directed "The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven", director Wu Ershan directed "Eight Immortals: Mystical Powers", and director Chen Jiashang directed "White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake"  "Mozi: Universal Love but Not Attack" directed by Xu Ke; "Jing Ke: Fish Intestines Assassin the Qin" directed by Li Fangfang. "In addition, there are two TV series.  Preparing for project approval, one is "The Son of Heaven" directed by director Wang Yixue, and the other is "The Jade Emperor" directed by director Jiang Zhigang.¡°These six movies and two TV series are the first phase of the production plan of the Four Magical Series, a Sino-US joint venture, all created to the specifications of special effects blockbusters, and Summit Entertainment is responsible for global promotion.  There are countless good scripts in Jiahe Entertainment's script library. If any director wants to participate in the project, he can choose the script or prepare his own script. Let's work together to create the most dreamy epic movie project!  " Shao Shuaijun said with a smile. (To be continued.
