Director’s Legend

() In this year, "Lost on a Journey in Thailand" has been released with great excitement, and the entire mainland market has crazily won 1.266 billion yuan, becoming the box office hegemony in the history of mainland movies. It even sparked a craze for embarrassment in Thailand. Countless mainland tourists chose Thailand as their destination to visit the interesting places in this movie.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was released on February 10, 2013, also began its journey.

In just a few days, it showed the strong appeal of director Zhou Xingxing, and the box office results were skyrocketing. I got 82.99 million RMB on the first day, and 575.97 million RMB in the first full week, breaking multiple records. The goal is to go directly to the championship of "Lost in Thailand". \u003cThe festival, Shao Shuaijun went to the United States.

Chen Jiashang's first film in the four major fantasy series, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" has already undergone post-production in the United States. Although both d2 and ilm have been acquired, their headquarters are still in the US. Shao Shuaijun came to supervise the post-production, and also paid attention to the post-production of "Iron Man 3".

After watching the semi-finished "Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake", Shao Shuaijun thought it was not bad. It lacked some oriental magical clouds and mountains and fog, and more western-style magical fast-paced, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.

The four major fantasy series can be said to be Chinese superhero movies. Since they are superheroes, they should not be too literary. When Li An directed "The Incredible Hulk", it was because of too much literature and art that it failed at the box office. Knowing how to pretend to be cool, with a clear main line, a little psychological portrayal, and special effects for everything else, this is a qualified superhero movie.

After directing the post-production of two films, Shao Shuaijun flew to Hollywood with his wife Li Xiuxiu on February 24th. Today is the 85th Academy Awards Ceremony. Shao Shuaijun is determined to attend the ceremony. In 2013, Shao Shuaijun has a very busy schedule and there is nothing urgent to do.

This time Shao Shuaijun appeared on the red carpet with Li Xiuxiu. In the past, Li Xiuxiu always hid behind Shao Shuaijun and helped him manage the company. Now the company can also let go, Shao Shuaijun hopes that the two of them can be together more and participate in various things.

Just like what Li Xiuxiu said back then, she hoped that after giving birth, she would hand over the company to Shao Shuaijun as a producer. Make movies together like Christopher Nolan and his wife. That's why this time the couple held hands and appeared on the red carpet.

It can almost be said that after Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu got off the bus, the flashes couldn't stop.

As the most influential director in the world, Shao Shuaijun shows up less and less, and the reporters are hungry for him. And what is unbearable with hunger and thirst is that even if Shao Shuaijun showed up, his wife Li Xiuxiu hardly showed up, let alone the two of them attended the event together. What the reporter is most interested in is the family life of the star. At this moment, they are taking pictures like crazy.

Click, click...

Li Xiuxiu was a little unnatural. Shao Shuaijun gently put his arms around her waist and said, "Are you nervous? You are the head of the entertainment company. How many celebrities and bosses see you politely smile."

"Can it be the same? No one took pictures of me back then." Li Xiuxiu complained.

"Haha, just treat them as small business managers who come to curry favor with you, just a bunch of floating clouds, that's fine. Every time I walk on the red carpet, with so many people staring at me, I will imagine that they are just a group of ants. Do ants get nervous? Of course not, so I never get nervous." Shao Shuaijun looked around disdainfully, as if seeing densely packed ants.

With Shao Shuaijun making fun of her, Li Xiuxiu quickly relaxed, walked the red carpet with a smile on her face, and signed her name on the poster wall at the entrance. The red carpet host immediately ran over to interview Shao Shuaijun and his wife.

"Director Shao, Mrs. Shao, can I interview you?"

Shao Shuaijun nodded: "Yes."

"This is the first time Director Shao attended the red carpet with his wife. Director Shao has always attended events alone before. Why did he do it today?"

Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "We were very busy before, and my wife's personality is lower-key than mine, so she is not very willing to attend the event. Decided to do something interesting together."

"Director Shao and Mrs. Shao have a very good relationship. Mrs. Shao, is Director Shao a qualified husband? In the eyes of us Americans, a male star who has no gossip is not attractive enough."

Li Xiuxiu said embarrassingly: "He is a pure person. In life, he is only interested in movies. I think this is why he is not attractive to other women. But in my opinion, he is very attractive. Handsome and talented."

"Yeah?"

Li Xiuxiu said affirmatively: "Have you seen his "Pounding Heartbeat"? There is a sentence in it, I like it very much, 'Some people are shallow, and some people are in it. One day you will meet a rainbow-like A gorgeous person who makes you think other people are just clouds.’, my husband is such a rainbow-colored person, he makes all the men in the world pale in comparison, that’s all.”

"Haha, my wife, if you say that, I will become a public enemy, but that's what I am." Shao Shuaijun scratched his hair recklessly.

"Wow, I think I'm your enemy Shao Dao now." The host joked.

Another host rushed to say: "Director Shao, according to the 2012 nomination and selection by the Avenue of Stars committee, I will give you a star on the Avenue of Stars to thank you for your contribution to Hollywood and the world film industry in the past. Contributions made, a star award ceremony will be held on March 1, have you confirmed that you will accept this star?"

"Although paying a lot of money (to install, you must pay 15,000 US dollars as a handling fee) can be exchanged for a star that has been trampled on, but why not. It is a matter of writing your name in history. It's very interesting, at least, it will make you feel that you have become a part of history." Shao Shuaijun smiled.

The Star Awards Ceremony was held by Summit Entertainment at Cao, and Mitchell Bruce said that a larger ceremony would be held to highlight Shao Shuaijun's identity and status. There has never been a star who has left his name on the Avenue of Stars with such a legendary background and high status.

In the past, Shao Shuaijun had a chance to win a star, but it was only because there were too few awards, and his commercial achievements were not supported by a movie breaking $1 billion. This has to be said to be a tragedy for commercial directors. They can thrive in business, but they will always be underestimated in terms of honor.

James Cameron, the king of the world, didn't get a star even if he created "Titanic". It wasn't until "Avatar" came out and was recognized after a small-scale screening that he won a star.

Shao Shuaijun won the star this time because he created the box office record of the most popular superhero movie and created the second record in the world's film history for personal box office. award.

After receiving this star, Shao Shuaijun became the first mainland filmmaker to be named on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Among the three Chinese who received stars before, Anna May Wong was a Chinese star from a long time ago, needless to say Bruce Lee, and Cheng Long was from Hong Kong, China.

Hollywood sends out dozens of stars every year, and each star is made of a terrazzo, which is made into a pink pentagram and inlaid with bronze and embedded in a dark gray cube. Inside the pink star is the name of the award recipient engraved on the bronze, and below it is a ring-shaped logo, representing the field where the awardee received the star.

If you contribute to the film industry, you will get the movie camera logo; if you contribute to the television industry, you will get the TV logo; What you get is the Broadcast Microphone logo; contribute to live drama, and what you get is the Tragic-Comedy Mask logo.

The star that Shao Shuaijun gets will be a star with a movie camera logo.

"Get a star and leave a handprint, do you have anything to say?" the host asked again.

Shao Shuaijun shrugged: "Why don't you ask me when you install the stars or go to get your fingerprints done?"

This time Shao Shuaijun won a star and will hold a star ceremony. At the same time, he will go to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood to hold a handprint ceremony, leaving his handprints, footprints and nose prints. Stars and three seals are two different programs. It is very difficult to obtain stars, but it is easier to obtain three seals.

Stars are basically determined by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which means the recognition of the American film industry represented by Hollywood. Once the star is installed, it cannot be moved at will and will exist permanently. Li An has won a lot of awards, but still failed to get a star, one can imagine how difficult it is, and Wu Yusen only got three seals, not a star.

The three-print is more of a commercial publicity act. It is to leave a print in front of the Chinese theater. Generally, when a large company is promoting its film, it will help actors, directors, etc. to get a fingerprint and promote the film.

For example, before the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" last year, Warner Bros. held a grand handprint ceremony for Nolan to promote his movie. Since 2011, too many stamps have been left, and many stamps have even been removed from the front of the Chinese Theater.

Regardless of fingerprinting or leaving stars, they are all commercial activities under the cloak of leaving a name, and Hollywood is full of business.

Under normal circumstances, stars and handprints will be arranged to create momentum for film, TV, record and other publicity. After James Cameron got the star, he chose to install the star before the release of "Avatar". "Iron Man 3" is about to be released, and Mitchell Bruce hastily arranged a star ceremony and a handprint ceremony for Shao Shuaijun, perhaps for the sake of hype.

Anyway, Xingxing can install it at any time in the next five years, and it will be installed on March 1st, just to promote the release of "Iron Man 3" on May 1st, so why not do it.

Because another star came later, Shao Shuaijun didn't accept any more interviews, and brought Li Xiuxiu into the theater.
