0107 [There is still a long way to go]
"First of all, thank you for your applause, which made my heart feel at ease, and to be able to direct a movie, to be honest, it is quite emotional. I have only directed TV series before, and on the night of last year's Golden Horse Awards, I had dinner with director Shao Shuaijun, as well as Huang Bo and Guo Tao, and Ah Jun said, I have an idea, or you will make a movie. The brothers coaxed, so they filmed "People in Embarrassment". Now that I think about it, it's really amazing, I won't say much about thanks, thank you for cheering. ”
After the premiere, Shao Shuaijun returned to Hengdian and continued filming "Painted Skin".
At the same time, the data of "People in Embarrassment" is also transmitted every day.
Relying on the good reputation of the premiere, it has become the name of Shao Shuaijun's screenwriting works, and after the movie was released, it immediately got off to a good start. In the whole month of August, there was only one blockbuster, and that was Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds", which had already taken home 38 million at the box office after a week and a half of release.
Other than that, there have been no films released on a large scale.
After all, Dengtian Entertainment is a newly established company, and no matter how powerful Wu Kebo's relationship network is, he has not gotten a high number of films for "People in Embarrassment", only 25%. However, Zhou Yue still won 6 million at the box office, which can be described as a good start for a comedy with a small cost and no big-name stars. A week after its release, the total box office was 24 million, and the big hit has been confirmed.
With a good mood, Shao Shuaijun and Zhao Wei went to participate in the award ceremony of the 11th China Radio, Film and Television General "Film Huabiao Award". In the capital, Shao Shuaijun met Ning Hao, who also came to the awards ceremony, and Liu Yifei, Ning Hao's previous work "Green Meadow", which was not famous, was nominated for the Outstanding Digital Film Technology Award, and "Crazy Racing" was nominated for excellent feature film.
Zhao Wei came because he was nominated for the Outstanding Actress Award. Liu Yifei came as the guest of honor tonight, she had already come yesterday to participate in the TV series Feitian Award, and it seemed that she did not win the award.
As for Shao Shuaijun, he has received many nominations for "Source Code", including five nominations: Outstanding Feature Film, Market Development Award, Outstanding Foreign Co-production (because Hong Kong Media Asia is one of the investors), Outstanding Feature Film Technology Award, and Outstanding Director. Among them, the Market Development Award is not nominated, that is to say, "Source Code" has won the Market Development Award for its excellent overseas box office.
As an award sponsored by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and Guangying Group, the Huabiao Award can be said to be an official and authoritative award. Of course, the consistent style of the Huabiao Award is that everyone is lined up to share the fruits, and the official two words are correct, and the authority is hehe.
Because to celebrate the centenary of Chinese films, many old artists came to the scene, and Shao Shuaijun had to go to say hello all the time, tired enough. Shao Shuaijun was the first to receive the award for market development, facing the camera, as well as the stars and audiences of the entire Beizhan Theater, holding the award certificate and trophy, and making a speech.
"Thank you to the organizers for awarding this award to "Source Code", as a Chinese director, I am proud that "Source Code" has achieved good results, and I will continue to work hard to spread Chinese films to the world."
The style of speech is always simple and clear, or rather unnutritious.
Then, the Outstanding Feature Film Technical Award was won by "Ambush on All Sides", and "Source Code" missed out on a city. And Ning Hao's "Green Meadow" did not win the Outstanding Digital Film Technology Award.
This was followed by the outstanding foreign co-productions, with a total of three films winning awards, "No Thieves", "New Police Story" and "Source Code". This award is not awarded to the director, but to the film unit, Shao Shuaijun applauded in the audience, Wang Zhongjun won two awards alone, "No Thieves in the World" and "Source Code" are both invested and distributed by Huayi Brothers.
Subsequently, Zhao Wei and Zhang Ziyi both won the Outstanding Actress Award.
Shao Shuaijun did not win the award for outstanding directors, and was won the director award by Lu Chuan and Yin Li.
And the last item of this awards ceremony, the Outstanding Feature Film Award, a total of 20 films were nominated, and 10 of them won the award, Ning Hao with "Crazy Racing", Shao Shuaijun with "Source Code", both won this award. The ten directors came on stage together, standing next to each other, feeling like children sharing candy, everyone has a share.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to make a good impression in front of the leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Shao Shuaijun would not be willing to participate in this so-called official award on a hot day at all, which would be too boring. Isn't it nonsense that there are ten award-winning movies for one award.
After the awards, the Wang Zhongjun brothers had a treat at the hotel, and Shao Shuaijun, Ning Hao, and Lu Chuan, as the directors of Huayi Brothers, had a meal together. Although the two sides were a little nervous after the establishment of the Dengtian Shuai Army, with the start of filming of "Painted Skin", Huayi Brothers should still invest, so the relationship on the surface is cordial.
When the wine was half-drunk, everyone talked about the last fight, although the media didn't mention it much, but in the circle, basically the gossip spread. Even Ning Hao, who was filming "The Great Gold Robbery" in the magic capital, called to express his condolences to Shao Shuaijun's injury.
"Didn't you tell Lao Qian about Huang Qunfei's problem last time, and Lao Qian later told me about it. I secretly inquired, this Huang Qunfei is really a little unclean. Wang Zhonglei hiccuped.
"How?"
Wang Zhonglei shook his head: "Xiao Shao, just listen to it, don't ask anything." This Huang Qunfei is not the general assistant of China Film Import and Export Company, he is the leader of the old factory, and the one who decided to invest in "Painted Skin" is the leader of the joint venture factory. In a word, there was a great struggle in China Film, which affected "Painted Skin", and some people wanted to get rid of "Painted Skin", and then pull down a few leaders. ”
"This kind of thing, let's not go to the mix, China Film's joint venture factory has said hello, and has sent someone to warn Huang Qunfei and let him be honest. Gao Linbao was also warned, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense in the future. You, just rest assured to make a movie, the crew, Lao Qian, or Yang Hongtao, can all be relied on. Whoever makes trouble, just fight. Wang Zhongjun dipped in wine and lit it on the table, "We have several families, and the relationship is in place, and the biggest job now is to ensure that you make a good movie." ”
"With Mr. Wang's words, I am relieved." Shao Shuaijun nodded, he was actually very annoyed by this boring struggle, someone solved it, very good.
"Come, drink."
Bang, overflowing with wine......
After the Huabiao Award, life goes on and the movie goes on.
The box office of "People in Embarrassment" is also continuing, although it failed to reach the madness of the crazy series, it still won 16 million box office in the second week, and the total box office accumulated 40 million, and it is inevitable to make a big profit. At this time, "Hero" was released in North America, and in the first week of 2,031 theaters, it won $17.8 million, becoming the champion of the week.
This is the first time that a mainland director has won the weekly championship in North America, and for a while, "Hero" was in the limelight, and Zhang Yimou's reputation was like a sky. The title of the king of the mainland was mercilessly crowned by the media to Zhang Yimou. When it comes to the previous king of the mainland, Shao Shuaijun, the media unanimously believes that Shao Shuaijun still has a long way to go.
"It's still a long time, really?"
Shao Shuaijun didn't know either, but "People in Embarrassment" counted the money until he relented.
