Director’s Legend

Chapter 208: 【Atomic Bomb】

"Happy New Year and Happy Chinese New Year!"

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, 2006 seemed like a photo buried in an album. Shao Shuaijun was also relieved from work and went back to his hometown to spend a good Spring Festival. He walked away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoyed the tranquility in the small town.

On the sixth day of the new year, the executives of Dream Chasing Company came to Shao Shuaijun's house to pay New Year's greetings and brought their blessings.

This morning, in the evening in North America, Oscar announced the nomination list. "Painted Skin" unfortunately did not receive any nomination. Of all the Chinese films, only Zhang Yimou's "Full City with Golden Armor" won the best costume design nomination, which once again proves that the mainland director can only be slightly recognized by the Oscar.

In the past year, all the movies that should be released have been released. In the 2006 box office list of mainland movies published by Time.com, Shao Shuaijun’s "Painted Skin" topped the list with 360 million yuan, and the runner-up was also from Shao Shuaijun’s "33 Days of Broken Love" "310 million.

These two movies are like two mountains, firmly suppressing all mainland movies and Hollywood blockbusters, and always prove the power of Shao Shuaijun's commercial director.

This was followed by Zhang Yimou's "Full City with Golden Armor" 270 million, breaking his own "Hero" record, because of the existence of Shao Shuaijun, he could only rank third. The fourth place is "The Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang 125 million. I wanted to say it deeply, but in the end it was very plain, and the evaluation was average. It seems that Feng Xiaogang also wants to learn from Zhang Yimou, using "The Banquet" to hit Europe and the United States and represent Hong Kong films to compete for Oscars. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. Of course, it failed altogether.

Another Hollywood blockbuster "The Da Vinci Code" scored 105.8 million and ranked fifth, while Hollywood Ghost King director Yu Rentai, the first movie after his return, "Huo Yuanjia", ranked sixth with 105 million .

These six movies are all the movies with a box office of over 100 million in the Mainland in 2006.

At the same time, Mtime.com also released supplementary data to announce all the box office charts of all movies since 1994. Since Shao Shuaijun's rebirth in 2004, Shao Shuaijun has been at the top of the box office every year. In 2004, "Kung Fu" 170 million, "Ambush on Ten Sides" 150 million, "A World Without Thieves" 121 million, followed by Shao Shuaijun's "Crazy Stone" 120 million.

In 2005, "Promise" 170 million, "Crazy Racing" 150 million, "Golden Heist" 120 million, "King Kong" 100 million. Then came Shao Shuaijun's "Source Code" 98 million.

At the same time, the total box office lists of mainland China, directors’ box office lists, and global box office lists of Chinese-language movies formulated by Mtime.com were also announced. The total box office list in the Mainland. "Painted Skin" occupies the first place with 360 million box office, "Broken Love 33 Days" occupies the third place with 310 million box office; the director's box office rankings, Shao Shuaijun tops the list with five movies with a total box office of 908 million.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Yu on the global box office list of Chinese-language movies is $213 million worldwide, occupying the top spot. Shao Shuaijun directed "Painted Skin" for $202 million. Ranked second. Zhang Yimou's "Hero" is $177 million, and Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" is $104 million. Ranked third or fourth. This is also the only four Chinese-language movies with a global box office exceeding 100 million U.S. dollars.

If you count all the movies directed by Chinese. At the top of the list is Wu Yusen's "Mission Impossible 2" with 546 million US dollars. Shao Shuaijun has a long way to go to reach this figure.

...

After the new year. Shao Shuaijun set off again for the United States, and the post-production of "Night Watcher" was inseparable from his supervision. And he has to follow the crew and start publicity. This is his first movie completely his own. Even though he doesn't like to promote like monkey shows, he still has to take time to participate in various shows to build momentum for the movie.

After the next year, he is 21 years old and he is still young. Many American programs hope to invite him to participate. After all, the topic of this age is too strong. Even if there are not a few 20-year-old directors in the United States, let alone the Chinese who have been discriminated against by them.

The Americans have a blind, so-called American will, and they have always discriminated against China in all aspects, which makes Shao Shuaijun very disgusted. Therefore, Shao Shuaijun rejects all programs that have tended to be unfriendly to China, regardless of whether they are prosperous or not. He only participates in programs that are neutral or do not show pro-China tendencies.

But that's it, major programs still want to portray him as the embodiment of the "American Dream."

"Go to the **** American dream, Mitchell, the movie will be left to you to lead the team for publicity in the future!" Shao Shuaijun is participating in a file called "fil fan snow-hollywood". Abduction is always said that he is the most successful young foreigner in the United States, is the best embodiment of the American will and the representative of the American dream.

This makes Shao Shuaijun intolerable. He doesn't want to learn "cents" to betray the country and seek glory. He has always been proud of his country and skin color. The reason why he came to Hollywood to make a movie is to make money and to prove himself, not to come and lick the Yankees!

From what they said, there is always a feeling of being aloof and giving you alms.

This feeling is very bad.

So Shuaijun Shao immediately quit his sleeves and handed over the propaganda to Mitchell, and he plunged into the post-production of "Night Watcher". With the passage of time, the Hong Kong Academy Awards came. When the Golden Statue Organizing Committee sent an invitation, Shao Shuaijun simply refused. The Golden Horse Award has already injured him once, and he does not want to be injured a second time!

Even in the future, he will not participate in these grandstanding junk awards.

Regarding that Shao Shuaijun was not coming, the Academy Awards organizing committee was very unhappy and published a notice in the newspaper, although his tone was oblique. But people with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this is a satire that Shao Shuaijun looks down on the Academy Awards and Hong Kong movies. He is arrogant and defiant.

Originally, Shao Shuaijun never cared about awards, but he deliberately made himself look more calm, as if he didn't care about gains or losses. As a result, the Golden Horse Award gave him a punch, which made him lose face, and ran over, but he was played around, and the four were empty.

"I have been so successful, so why dare to look down on me? Fuck me?"

This is Shao Shuaijun's heartfelt voice. I held it back before. Who would have thought that the Academy Awards jumped out again. Shao Shuaijun broke out in an interview with reporters: "I don't know what the Golden Image Award is. I have already participated in a ridiculous award. There is no need to participate in the second ridiculous award. My film was made for a wide audience. It’s not for the so-called artists."

Boom, as if an atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima.

Shao Shuaijun's words immediately triggered a major earthquake.

"Shao Shuaijun is a funny clown. After making a few incomprehensible films, I forget about it. The Golden Statue Award has a history of more than 20 years, and is older than Shao Shuaijun. From the Golden Statue Award, he walked out of Wu Yusen, No one can slander Xu Ke and other international directors. Let us wish "The Night Watcher" is a big hit all over the world, and hope that he will never fail." The chairman of the Academy Awards and the famous screenwriter Wen Jun immediately responded in the newspaper.

"No one can ignore the Hong Kong Film Awards. Our splendor has made Chinese films known to the world! Directors who do not understand and respect others will be cast aside by the world!" The vice chairman of the Awards and the famous director Chen Jiashang responded. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
