Director’s Legend

"A well-paced and well-directed doomsday love story with a good sense of humor, romance and optimism." —Hollywood Entertainment Reporter.

"Mixing the horror popcorn flick with the romance flick brings a fresh twist to both genres." —Los Angeles Times.

"Trying to be the Twilight Zone of zombie movies, this is a small-scale, but still, Romeo of the zombies and Juliet of the living." — Variety.

While "Warm Corpse" has achieved a good box office, it has also established a good reputation, with a freshness rating of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, representing Hollywood's mainstream film critics, who have affirmed Gao Zhisheng's director level. While performing well in the first weekend, Gao Zhisheng became more and more coquettish, and led several leading actors to carry out the next round of promotion and accept interviews everywhere.

This style of work is completely different from his master Shao Shuaijun's. It has to be said that under the current round of publicity by Gao Zhisheng. From October 8th to 10th, the second weekend, "Warm Corpse" won the championship with 16.35 million US dollars, leaving the well-known "Social Network" as the runner-up twice.

And Stallone's "The Expendables" ended the week at the box office, taking in $2.1 million. While confirming that the painting will be released next week, it is also announced that "The Expendables" has successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars in North America. At the same time, the results of overseas releases have also received 100 million US dollars. There is still a period of time before the release. Breaking through $250 million is not a luxury.

Summit Entertainment immediately held a press conference with Stallone. Announced the launch of "The Expendables 2", still starring Stallone, who is in his sixties, and invited a large circle of action superstars, but Stallone said at the press conference that he would give up directing "The Expendables 2", because it is too much to be a director and an actor. tired.

From October 15th to 17th, "Idiot Funny Show 3D" grabbed a box office of 50 million US dollars and became the champion. "Warm Corpse" surpassed expectations as always, earning a good score of 10 million US dollars, and the total box office in North America has reached 60 million US dollars. Completed the set task of the movie's box office ahead of schedule.

"I don't think I'm successful yet," in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Regarding the perfect debut of the debut show, Gao Zhisheng said modestly, ""Warm Corpse" was directed by Director Shao to me, and the script was also reviewed by Director Shao. It is nothing to achieve such a result. For me. I have gained a lot of valuable experience from the film, and being able to verify the things that director Shao gave me one by one is my biggest gain."

A domestic reporter asked Gao Zhisheng. He has become another representative of Chinese directors breaking into Hollywood. What do you want to say to domestic directors who are still struggling.

Gao Zhisheng said in a joking tone: "I think first of all, I have to learn from director Shao Shuaijun as a teacher."

After this sentence was spread back to China, Gao Zhisheng was immediately criticized by Chinese filmmakers, saying that Gao Zhisheng was shameless for flattering, arrogant and confounding black and white. Filmmakers naturally wouldn't admit that a young man like Shao Shuaijun could be a guide for Chinese directors to go out.

However, domestic netizens were overjoyed and left messages one after another, giving Shao Shuaijun the title of "National Teacher", the teacher of domestic directors.

Shao Shuaijun didn't know about such noise, he is currently participating in the 19th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 30th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films. Since the separation of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, these two awards have been held every other year. Unfortunately, many films from two years ago have been selected, and it is difficult to invite big-name stars to show off for a film two years ago. It is said that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Blossoms have already been reduced to second-rate awards.

Of course, there are no first-class awards in the entire Chinese film industry.

Shao Shuaijun's visit today was due to the warm invitation of the organizer. As we all know, if you come to the domestic awards, you will win them. Shao Shuaijun is almost sure to win the award. Secondly, he is not too busy. After all, it is also an award for Chinese-language movies, so it is good to support the stage. Shao Shuaijun, the oligarch in the entertainment industry, is here, and the other big and small stars are embarrassed to be absent?

Therefore, this year's award ceremony held in the county-level city was very star-studded.

The film festival started on the 12th, and Shao Shuaijun made an appearance at the beginning, and when he reappeared, it will be the awards ceremony on the 16th.

The Hundred Flowers Award is an award selected by the public. The nominated films are selected by netizens. Among them, "Old Boy" almost won the first place in the nomination with an undisputed number of votes.

Nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, Zhen Zhen (playing Hao Fang) beat second place Xu Jian with 150,654 votes with 93,223 votes. It is worth mentioning that the popular Chun Ge only had 79,035 box office.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actress, "Old Boy" did not enter the selection, Wang Jia won the first place, he and Xu Jian are both actors of the main theme "Shaking Earth".

Nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Xu Zhen beat Li Youbin with 190,473 votes at the box office of 259,877. Li Youbin is also an actor in "Shaking Earth".

For the best actress nomination, Liu Shishi defeated Zhao Wei with 143,346 votes with 154,264 votes.

For the best actor nomination, Huang Bo defeated Zhang Guoli with 356,421 votes and 195,923 votes.

For the best director nomination, Shao Shuaijun defeated Feng Xiaogang with 310,021 votes and 140,877 votes.

Best Picture nomination, "Oldboy" beat "Founding" with 489,756 votes to 258,962.

When it comes to the awards ceremony, 101 public judges will be present at the scene to select the winning films in due course.

Adhering to the consistent urgency of domestic success, "Old Boy" only won one award, the best director award. Shao Shuaijun came to the stage and thanked him twice in an official tone, then hurriedly stepped off the stage. Although he wanted to support the domestic awards to be better and better, he still felt ashamed after taking the stage, especially when he knew everything well.

This year's best film has no double yolks, and it was awarded to "The Founding of a Country", but there are two other excellent feature films, "Old Boy" and "Shaking Earth". For excellent feature films, Shao Shuaijun didn't even bother to go on stage, and let the producer who came with him sloppy go up to accept the award.

at night. The organizer and the county-level city government invited Shao Shuaijun to a dinner party, but Shao Shuaijun left directly on the pretext of having something to do. To be honest, he had the mentality of coming here to have fun before, and all the messy things in it were just floating clouds. After Zhen took the stage, he walked around a monkey, which was indescribably absurd.

Might as well go home early to accompany my wife.

The entire month of October was spent in such a dull atmosphere. The revised script of "Night Watchman" has been put on the agenda and will be officially launched in January next year. Now Luis Renard has started preparations for the crew. Scheduled. Because "Nightman" star Jack Gyllenhaal is starring in "Thor", the schedule will be staggered.

On November 4, 2010, "Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows" premiered at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, on the same day. "Painted Skin 2" premiered at Golden Harvest Hong Kong's flagship cinema. Also this day. "Forbes" released the list of the world's most powerful people in 2010.

Celebrities on the list include film and television actors, directors, producers, singers, models, authors, athletes and celebrities. The list is based on the comprehensive ranking of each person's annual total income, network ranking, media ranking, TV station ranking and social influence. The list was first released in 1999 and has been selected annually since then.

Shao Shuaijun made the list for the first time at the age of 24. His ranking is No. 66, the youngest of the top 100 inductees on this list. Age and power make Shao Shuaijun particularly dazzling. He and the 26-year-old Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who is No. 40 on the list, are also the only post-80s candidates.

Among the younger generation, Shao Shuaijun is definitely the most dazzling one in the world. Mark Zuckerberg influences people's lives through online communities. Shao Shuaijun's company also operates an online community, at least in China, where the time community dominates, and Facebook can't get in at all. At the same time, Shao Shuaijun's twitter and time scarf are about to become the overlord of the world's scarf.

Coupled with the extremely dazzling director halo, there are definitely many people in this world who don't know Zuckerberg, and there are probably not many who don't know Shao Shuaijun. Even Mr. Hu, who has the most power in the world this year, is far less famous than Shao Shuaijun. You know, many popular movies produced by Summit Entertainment have Shao Shuaijun's name printed on the producer.

Of course, after this list came out, it had little impact on Shao Shuaijun, and there were not many media reports. Shao Shuaijun already had too much halo on his head, and everyone was already visually fatigued from the fatigue bombing all year round.

From November 5th to 7th, a weekend ends. "Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows" won the North American box office with 40.1 million U.S. dollars. Although it won the championship, compared with the first film's box office of more than 60 million, this sequel has dropped a lot. In the production of Hollywood series, sequels are often the highest-grossing. Daifuku 2 is off to a bad start. Now whether the third part can be launched depends on how the overseas box office is.

Compared with the downturn of Daifuku 2, the opening of "Painted Skin 2" can be described as amazing!

In three days of release, it achieved a super box office of RMB 298.2 million. This opening result is even stronger than "To Youth" directed by Zhao Wei, and "Painted Skin 2" has a very good reputation. Such results, combined with the unsatisfactory performance of Daifuku 2 in North America, made Summit Entertainment decide to advance the North American release schedule of "Painted Skin 2" to late November.

From November 12th to 14th, the momentum of "Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows" in North America still failed to pick up. It only got 17.8 million US dollars, and even the championship was given up. After two weeks, the total box office was only 79 million. Dollar. This made the major Hollywood film companies breathe a sigh of relief. Summit Entertainment has gone crazy this year, and if it goes crazy, it will not give others a way to survive.

However, to Summit Entertainment's relief, the overseas momentum of Daifuku 2 has suddenly exploded. This week and last week, it received a total of 130 million US dollars, and the total box office exceeded 200 million US dollars. What matters is the question of earning more and earning less.

This week, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" is still amazing, with 228.45 million yuan continuing to dominate the box office charts in the mainland. After two weeks, it has reached 522.65 million yuan. Adding the 142.63 million yuan overseas, the total box office has reached 665.28 million yuan.

According to the latest exchange rate, 1:6.6417, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" has exceeded 100 million US dollars!

The box office champion of Chinese-language movies in 2010 can basically be declared to be "Painted Skin 2"! (to be continued..)
