Director’s Legend

It started at 7 o'clock and ended at 9 o'clock. Shao Shuaijun held up the palm-sized golden raspberry trophy and walked out under the reporter's flashlight. As the only recipient of the award, Shao Shuaijun was naturally the focus of the media. Many reporters wanted to interview Shao Shuaijun.

"Hey, Director Shao, congratulations on winning the director award, can you give us an interview?" The reporter from Hong Kong followed up and shouted.

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Yes, go to Santa Monica and find a place to have a drink."

Immediately, he took the two reporters, boarded the truck together, and left Hollywood.

Hollywood, like Santa Monica, is a small city below Los Angeles, not far away, about half an hour's drive away. Finding a quiet cafe, Shao Shuaijun began to accept the two reporters from Hong Kong's "Sing Pao". "Sing Pao" is one of the three major newspapers in Hong Kong. Unwavering support for Baodiao.

After ordering coffee, the reporter immediately started the interview: "Director Shao, do we need to congratulate you first?"

Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "If you congratulate me at this time tomorrow, I will be very happy. Forget it now. Unexpectedly, Director Li An won the Oscar for Best Director for the Chinese, but I won the Golden Raspberry Best Director for the Chinese." Poor director, shame on you."

"It's not all smooth sailing for a director. Even director Li An also messed up "Hulk" before he had the success of "Brokeback Mountain". Your "Night Watchman" can only be regarded as an attempt, and now "Inception" is hot Globally, it has reached US$911.2 million. It ranks thirteenth in the box office list of global film history. This is the highest box office of any Chinese director, and "Inception" is still in theaters in some countries and regions. Eucalyptus director is poor."

The reporter complimented him, but Shao Shuaijun smiled and didn't answer. The reporter asked: "Many celebrities and entertainers are unwilling to come to the Golden Raspberry to accept the award. What is the reason that prompted you to attend in person?"

Shao Shuaijun thought about it for a while. He said slowly and seriously: "When I received the invitation from the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, I probably guessed that this time I should get the worst one. If you don't win the award, they don't need to invite you. At that time I am very angry. As a director, this is really insulting. But when you think about it calmly, it might be a good thing for me to win such an award."

"how to say?"

"Because it can remind you all the time. Oh, you once had no intentions, so you made a movie that everyone didn't recognize. Whenever you are proud and complacent, when you think of the Golden Raspberry Award, you will calm down. To contemplate this period of time. Have you ever been arrogant or smug? Have you put your heart into making movies and doing things? Have you repeatedly revised the script and checked the shots? I think this trophy has an impact on me It will be far-reaching, and if I continue to be successful in the future, I will have a share of the credit."

The reporter took a recording pen and wrote down something on the paper, and then asked: "So, today you come here to receive this award with a self-examination attitude?"

Shao Shuaijun leaned back in the chair to make himself more relaxed: "How should I put it, I didn't examine myself, I just came to remind myself about the problems in the movie."

"Didn't you examine yourself? It seems that you were also criticized during "Night Watchman"?"

"I know what you mean." Shao Shuaijun took a sip of coffee and smiled, "During the filming of "Night Watchman", I was more... How should I put it, I was very insolent. Your colleagues scolded me It's very miserable. There are many filmmakers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and there are many people who jumped out. Anyway, at that time, they were all attacking me. You have a colleague. I still remember how he scolded me, saying that Shao Shuaijun is just The character of the Zhongshan wolf is rampant when he succeeds."

"These words are too heavy and hurt you a lot?"

"It's not very big. In fact, what he said is true. I have such a personality." Shao Shuaijun crossed his arms, perhaps laughing at himself, or analyzing himself, "I have always known that I have a big flaw in my personality. .Like what Huang Xiaoxian said in "33 Days of Broken Relationship", my temper is on fire. When I am proud, I behave frivolously and arrogantly. When I am unhappy, I just put on a straight face. I seldom restrain myself, and I don't want to restrain myself. I have tried to learn to be more tactful, but if I can change it, I will not be Shao Shuaijun."

"It's not as bad as you said. I'm here to talk to you face to face. I feel that you are a very approachable person, who has no airs or handles?"

"That's because you don't know me. I belong to the kind of person who compares myself. If I didn't make these movies, I might be a cynical deadhead. Maybe I can make a living with a little hard work and talent. But it will never become a big climate. Because in this world, you can’t be successful just because you are talented, you have to have a heart, and you have to meet the chance. Especially the chance, it’s amazing.”

If it wasn't for rebirth, Shao Shuaijun didn't know when he would be able to direct a movie independently. If it wasn't for rebirth, he would spend his whole life at the bottom of the entertainment industry. He didn't know that his previous self was so childish and ridiculous. It is said that one has to stand tall to see far, and Shao Shuaijun was deeply touched.

Problems that could not be seen in the previous life can be clearly seen in this life, and experiences that cannot be felt in the previous life can be truly felt in this life. In my previous life, I had never even seen an imax camera, but in this life I shot two movies with an imax camera. In my previous life, I didn't know that applause can make people's brains go crazy. In this life, I also know the bitterness of standing higher and falling more painful.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change

Shao Shuaijun can't make himself a character that everyone likes, and it won't be him anymore.

All he can do is to live out his true self.

Even if the world slanders me, slanders me, scolds me, belittles me, dislikes me, and hates me.

I am still me, fireworks of different colors.

Live, have your own splendor.

Even if it's just for a moment.

Someone understands me, loves me, praises me, appreciates me, likes me, and praises me.

Such a life is enough.

How could one wish for more.

Holding the Golden Raspberry Award on the table in his hand, the dilapidated film box also became more cordial. Even discarded boxes once had their brilliance, because they carried the tools that make people dream, the rolls of film.

Watching the Golden Raspberry Award, Shao Shuaijun complained about the boredom and depression accumulated in his heart, and also announced his new life.

No more escaping and shrinking, no longer obsessing about what you have and what you don't have.

Live, live chicly.

The beauty of the world, grasp it in time, don't let yourself hesitate and regret.

This is the attitude towards life.

When the reporter's interview came to the end and Shao Shuaijun was required to make a speech at the end. Holding the Golden Raspberry Award, Shao Shuaijun smiled brightly: "Thank fate for giving me a key to open the door, I pushed the door open, and I saw what I wanted together! Thank you!"
