Director’s Legend

This press conference is a formal press conference, and reporters raise their hands to emcee someone. The first to be named was naturally a reporter who had a good relationship with Dreaming Entertainment, and Cai Xiaoyun of "Beijing Entertainment News" became the first. Cai Xiaoyun is now well-known in the journalist world. Since Mtime.com film reviews, there have been a group of fans.

He is beautiful, young, and a famous university student. In addition, I often get some first-hand news from Dream Entertainment. It is hard to think of it or not: "Director Shao, congratulations to Dream Entertainment for going further and getting bigger and bigger. What kind of movie is Inception?"

Shao Shuaijun put his hands on the table. Despite the fan blowing, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After thinking about it, he said, "This is a very complicated concept. I define it as a contemporary action science fiction film that takes place in the structure of consciousness. It tells the story of a group of commercial spies who used people’s dreams to steal trade secrets. When I watched "Game of Senses" and "Inception", I wondered why not film a story that happened in a dream? I saw Zheng Yuanjie’s "Patent No. 3180", and I was inspired to conceive a movie that I think is very cool and wonderful."

Then a reporter from the "Information Times" asked: "So, what do you think about making such a US$120 million movie at the box office of your last movie? We can understand it as unwilling to admit defeat, or In a hurry to prove yourself?"

"You have two problems." Shao Shuaijun smiled, "I don't want to rush to prove myself or refuse to admit defeat. To be honest, "The Night Watcher" is a very good theme. Unfortunately, I didn't put it on It’s done better, and it’s a great regret. I should have been more stable and changed the status quo little by little by taking the route of small costs. But sometimes, when inspiration comes, you don’t catch it, then it will be forever It doesn’t belong to you anymore. So, I decided to catch it, I decided to shoot "Inception."

A financial reporter was asked by name and asked: "I want to ask Mr. Li, Dreaming Jiahe is on the eve of issuing additional stocks. The decision to invest in such a large film production will definitely carry more risks and uncertainties. Will this affect you? Will have an adverse impact on the listing and financing of the company?"

Li Xiuxiu replied: "In our market analysis, no matter what the commercial Chengdu of Inception is, it will not have much impact on Chase Dream. Chase Dream has already laid out a complete industrial chain. There are many profitable projects. Our ability to resist risks is second to none in the domestic entertainment industry."

With the reporter who got close to the dream, the question was finished. The atmosphere has become more and more acute. A reporter asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Shao, we know that you are in the commercial field of movies. You are quite successful. Even if the box office of "Nightman" is not good, you still developed the commercial of imax movies. Future. So do you think you have discussed the artistry of the film, especially the repeated failure of the Golden Horse Award?"

"Yes, my views on movies may be a bit extreme, but I found a very strange phenomenon, some movies seem to be born to win awards. When we are watching a movie if it should be awarded, we first ask What does this movie talk about, does it talk about family ethics, does it talk about social phenomena, if it’s not, oh, that’s a pity, you can’t get an award.”

Shao Shuaijun’s grievances about the Golden Horse Awards are still there: “Don’t you think this kind of view is weird? This creates an illusion that the winners can’t get the box office, and the winners can’t get the prize. I don’t want to go again What are you arguing about? I think a movie that can withstand the public's test is a good movie. If it truly has art, it will never fail to get the box office!

"Did Shao always think that "Painted Skin" has been treated unfairly?"

"I'm just expounding my personal thoughts, without any deeper meaning."

"The reputation of "The Nightman" is very poor. Looking at all of Shao's films, almost no important awards have been won. Shao thinks this is your own factor or someone else's factor?"

"I don't know, I just think about how to make a movie. I am happy to win the prize, and I am calm when I don't. I am happy to be able to create the box office, but I accept it if I fail."

""Nightman" is a rash journey to Hollywood. What do you think you can make a foothold in Hollywood? Continue to shoot "Inception"?"

"Now I don’t think about establishing a foothold in Hollywood, or filming in the mainland. I have inspiration. I think what is suitable for me to shoot a movie. Then I will shoot. This is also my original purpose of choosing to make a film and be a director. ."

"So, is Director Shao ready to fail?"

"No one will go smoothly, but I will continue to have great confidence in my movies."

"The Golden Raspberry Awards have already released words. For next year’s Golden Sour Plum Award for Worst Director, one of the nominations belongs to Director Shao. This does not mean that in the dialogue with the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards, Director Shao It has fallen behind. Can we also think that Shao's films are always pale and weak, and the artistry is too poor? There are also big problems with your directing ability?"

Shao Shuaijun looked at the other party's nameplate, "Chutian Metropolis Daily."

Suddenly he didn't know how to answer this question. In fact, the other party didn't ask this question, he himself was repeatedly questioning it. Even if he made a classic movie and got a high box office, he was always one step away from the award. "Crazy Stone" only got one Golden Horse Award for Best Director nomination, and "Source Code" didn't even get a nomination.

Then the box office of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" reached a new high, with Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers as a foil, and "Painted Skin" was worth 200 million dollars worldwide. As a result, all four Golden Horse Awards were empty. It seems that everyone agrees that he can make films and auction films, but he has never recognized his ability to direct.

At the beginning he thought it was a discriminatory commercial film, but Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang's filming had some ideological qualities, not just a taste, nonsense. But they can win awards. Cannes and Berlin are their home games. Shao Shuaijun can occasionally make up the number, but it is only a nomination for a secondary award.

After ten seconds of silence, Shao Shuaijun said: "I have been in the director industry for a short period of time. I can't pretend to judge whether my film is good or bad. I try my best to do something to make the film look better. I I don't know what makes the movie look pale. I conceived it, I shot it, and the movie came out. The story I wanted to tell became clear. In the process, I felt the joy of being a director and I was satisfied. What kind of artistry you said, I think I might never think about it, I just hope I can tell a good story."

There is nothing more moving than telling a good story.

Shao Shuaijun felt that he should do this and be a true "storytelling director." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
