Director’s Legend

Go shopping, choose gifts, go back to my hometown, meet and greet the New Year, and then rush back to Li Xiuxiu’s hometown, meet the parents, and celebrate the New Year. Then the two families sat down to have a meal to confirm the relationship. Basically, this is how this year was spent. In terms of age, he is only twenty-two years old this year and has just reached the legal age of marriage, but in fact he is already in his thirties.

It's not that kind of relationship anymore, don't care too much about impulsiveness, and love with all your heart. He thinks a lot, and it's very simple. It is enough to find a woman who has a compatible temper and has worked hard together in a lifetime to form a complete family.

I don't expect the kind of life in the photos released by Mr. Chen's computer earlier this year.

After the new year, I will go back to the capital on the sixth day of the new year, continue to work, and my life has entered a dull track again. However, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu took another day off to climb the Great Wall in the snow and ice, and at night, they went to ** Square.

Today is both the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and Western Valentine's Day.

A lot of young couples gathered in front of the square, talking about love in front of the square, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu hugged each other, talking about these things. Then, this plot is over, there is no romance, but there is warmth.

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, news came from the United States.

"Inception" won the 34th American Film and Television Saturn Awards, Best Science Fiction Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Special Effects, Best Soundtrack, Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) Leo), Best Actress (Ellen Page), Best Supporting Actor (Jack Gyllenhill, Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Best Art Direction are nominated for nine.

The Saturn Award was founded by the American Academy of Science Fiction and Horror Films to reward and promote the best science fiction and horror works in the film and television fields of the year. As well as excellent works with breakthrough and innovative significance. Basically, the nominations and awards are all film and television works or filmmakers that are loved by fans.

After the Lantern Festival, Shao Shuaijun appeared in Los Angeles, USA.

Tomorrow, that is, February 23, 2008, he will attend this year's Golden Raspberry Awards Ceremony. And the day after tomorrow, I will attend the Oscars.

"Oh, Shao, are you really going to participate in the sensational Golden Raspberry Awards?" Mitchell asked with a smile in Summit Entertainment's office.

The Golden Raspberry Award is an award created to parody the Oscars. Many famous film directors, actors and producers have won the Golden Raspberry Award. But due to the nature of the award. Most of them are unwilling to attend to accept the award, and only a few people have accepted the award in person over the years.

The usual Golden Raspberry Award trophy is a golf ball surrounded by a film box, and then a raspberry is placed on it (translated into a raspberry. In fact, it should be the Golden Raspberry Award). Then gold plated. Very shoddy, satirically award-winning film is shoddy too.

Bill Cosby in 1987 was the first person willing to accept the award, more than a week after the award. The last TV show was dedicated to accepting awards. However, he required that the trophy be made of pure gold and that the base should be made of Italian marble. The organizers satisfied him. In 1996, Paul Van Herven was the first director to receive the award in person, and in 1998, Brian Highland was the first person to win both the Oscar and the Golden Raspberry.

Tom Green in 2002 and Ben Affleck in 2004 also went to accept the award. But this Ben Affleck had a bad temper and smashed the trophy. In 2005, Halle Berry held the Oscar statuette in one hand and the Razzie Award in the other. Neither last year nor the year before was there to accept the award.

It's this year's turn, but Shao Shuaijun is ready to go to the scene to add to the fun: "Mitchell, although the Golden Raspberry Award is not a glorious award, I am going to remind myself that making a movie requires hard work, not arrogance. .”

Iron can only be made into steel if it is tempered a hundred times. How can you start running suddenly if you haven't learned to walk.

Shao Shuaijun hopes to use such a trophy to remind himself to stay awake at all times, and not to be confused by the current illusion and think that he is great. With money and fame, you may be defiant to others, but don't be defiant to yourself. To others, it is nothing more than slapping and being slapped in the face, but to oneself, it is death.

"Wow, I'm glad you think so, so, are you going to go straight to accept the award like this? Are you ready, this award likes to make fun of others."

Shao Shuaijun nodded: "I remember that there were still a batch of dvds in stock in "The Night Watchman" and they were not sold. It happened that it was a waste to keep them, so I put them on the truck and gave one to the judges of the Golden Raspberry Award. Let them appreciate it carefully, is "Night Watchman" really that bad!"

Although Shao Shuaijun is willing to accept the award, it does not mean that he is willing to accept the worst title. The box office and reputation of "Night Watchman" are indeed not good, but at least it can be regarded as the first of its kind for IMAX commercial films. Now "Inception" The hit shows that imax movies are a feat, and even Nolan's "Batman: The Dark Knight" has also begun to shoot in imax.

In this way, he was nominated for the worst film and the worst director. Isn't this contemptuous?

If he hadn't vaguely remembered that Michael Bay's "Transformers 2" won the three awards of worst film, worst director and worst screenplay in one fell swoop, Shao Shuaijun would have wondered whether the golden raspberry discriminated against the Chinese. Even if such a high-grossing movie dared to shoot, "Night Watchman" was easy to accept.

"Haha, that's a good idea." Mitchell laughed.

Shao Shuaijun waited for him to finish laughing, and put a script on the table: "This is a new script I conceived, "500 Days with Summer", a very low-cost movie, about 10 million dollars can be done I would like to ask you to be the producer. I have only confirmed the male and female protagonists. I invite Joseph Gordon-Levitt for the male and Ellen Page for the female. You help me find the rest and tell them, this It is a literary film, so the salary cannot be paid too much."

"Why, don't you continue to shoot big productions?" Mitchell asked disappointed when he heard that it was a low-cost literary film. A piece of "Inception" whetted his appetite.

"It's tiring to make big productions all the time, and there are no good ideas and scripts. This literary film, with good publicity, should be able to get a good box office."

"Okay, I'll look for candidates after reading the script."

After finalizing "500 Days with Summer", Shao Shuaijun went to a small movie theater in Hollywood on the second night in a semi-old truck to attend the extremely shabby Golden Raspberry Awards Ceremony . (to be continued..)
