0381 Stars & Mudras
In this year, "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" was lively and lively, and the entire mainland market frantically won 1.266 billion yuan, becoming the box office hegemon in mainland film history. It has also set off a wave of embarrassment in Thailand, and countless mainland tourists have chosen their destination as Thailand to visit the interesting places in this movie.
And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, on February 10, 2013, "Journey to the West. Demon Suppression Chapter", also began the journey.
In just a few days, it showed the strong appeal of director Zhou Xingxing, and the box office results were against the sky. On the first day, he got 82.99 million yuan, and in the first full week, he got 575.97 million yuan, breaking many records. The goal is directly towards the championship of "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand".
After the Spring Festival, Shao Shuaijun went to the United States.
Chen Jiashang's first four-major magic series of films, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" has been in post-production in the United States. Although both D2 and ILM were acquired, they are headquartered in the United States. Shao Shuaijun came over to supervise the post-production, and also paid attention to the post-production of "Iron Man 3".
watched the half-finished film "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake", Shao Shuaijun felt that it was not bad, with less oriental magic clouds and mountains and fog covers, and more Western-style magic fast-paced, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.
The four magic series can be said to be Chinese superhero movies, and since they are superheroes, they can't be too literary and artistic. At the beginning, Li Yu directed "The Incredible Hulk", but it was too much literary and artistic fan that led to the box office failure. Pretending to be cooler than being cool. The main line is clear, plus a little psychological portrayal, and the rest is carried up with special effects, this is a qualified superhero movie.
directed the post-production of two films, and on February 24, Shao Shuaijun flew to Hollywood with his wife Li Xiuxiu. This day is the 85th Academy Awards, Shao Shuaijun is sure to attend the ceremony, in 2013 Shao Shuaijun's schedule is very idle, there is nothing to do in a hurry.
This time, Shao Shuaijun appeared on the red carpet with Li Xiuxiu. Once upon a time. Li Xiuxiu always hides behind Shao Shuaijun and helps him manage the company. Now that the company can 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. Hopefully after giving birth. The company is also transferred. Producer for Shao Shuaijun. Like Christopher. Nolan and his wife are like that, making movies together. That's why this time the husband and wife held hands and appeared on the red carpet.
Almost one could say. After getting out of the car from Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu, the flashing lights couldn't stop.
As the most influential director in the world, Shao Shuaijun rarely appears, and reporters are hungry for him. And what is unbearable is that even if Shao Shuaijun shows up, his wife Li Xiuxiu almost never shows up, let alone the two attend the event together. The reporter is most interested in the family life of the star, and at this moment, crazy photos.
Click, click......
Li Xiuxiu was a little unnatural, Shao Shuaijun gently hugged her waist and said, "Nervous? You are the head of the entertainment overlord company, how many celebrities and bosses have to smile politely when they see you. ”
"Can that be the same, no one took pictures of me back then." Li Xiuxiu said complainingly.
"Haha, just treat them as if they're all here to slap in with your small business managers, and they're all a bunch of floating clouds. Every time I walk the red carpet and so many people watch, I will fantasize that they are just a swarm of ants, do people get nervous when they see ants? Of course not, so I'm never nervous. Shao Shuaijun looked around, as if he saw dense ants.
With Shao Shuaijun laughing, Li Xiuxiu quickly relaxed, walked the red carpet with a smile on her face, and signed on the poster wall at the door. 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 that Director Shao has attended the red carpet with his wife, Director Shao has always attended events alone before, why did he do this today?"
Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "We were all busy before, and my wife's personality is more low-key than mine, so I am not very willing to attend the event. Recently, my schedule has been free, and she doesn't want to be busy with the company's affairs, so we decided to do something interesting together. ”
"Director Shao and Mrs. Shao have a good relationship, Mrs. Shao, is Director Shao a qualified husband? In the eyes of us Americans, a male star without scandals is a sign of not being attractive enough. ”
Lee so-so said embarrassedly: "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. ”
"Really?"
Li Xiuxiu said with certainty: "Have you seen his "Heartbeat", there is a sentence in it, I like it very much, 'Some people are shallow, and some people are ruined.' One day you'll meet someone who is so colorful that you think everyone else is just a cloud. My husband is such a rainbow of brilliant people, he dwarfs all the men in the world, that's all. ”
"Haha, wife, if you say this, I will become the enemy of the whole people, but I am such a person." Shao Shuaijun scratched his hair.
"Wow, I think I'm already your enemy now." The host joked.
Another host rushed to say: "Director Shao, according to the 2012 nomination selection of the Avenue of Stars Committee, you will be presented with a star on the Avenue of Stars to thank you for your contribution to Hollywood's contribution to the world film industry in the past, and a star awarding ceremony will be held on March 1, have you confirmed that you will accept this star?" ”
"Although it is a lot of money to pay (to install, you must pay $15,000 as a handling fee) in exchange for a star that has been stepped on, but why not. It's a lot of fun to write your name down in history, and at the very least, it makes you feel like you're a part of history. Shao Shuaijun smiled.
The Star Awards Ceremony is all organized by Summit Entertainment, Mitchell. Bruce said that he would hold a big ceremony to highlight Shao Shuaijun's identity and status. There has never been a star who has left a name on the Avenue of Fame, with such a legendary background and a high status as him.
In the past, Shao Shuaijun had the opportunity to win stars, but because there were too few awards, and his commercial achievements were not supported by a film that broke $1 billion. This has to be said to be a tragedy for commercial directors, who can flourish commercially, but in terms of honor, they will always be despised.
King of the World, James. Cameron, even if he built "Titanic", did not get a star until "Avatar" was born, and after a small-scale screening, it was recognized and received a star.
Shao Shuaijun won the star this time, and he also created the most popular superhero movie box office record, created the second record in global box office history, and completed the transformation from grassroots to world-renowned before the age of 30 to win this award.
After winning this star, Shao Shuaijun is the first mainland filmmaker to leave a name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Of the three Chinese who won the star before, Huang Liushuang was a Chinese star a long time ago, Bruce Lee needless to say, and Cheng Long was a native of Hong Kong, China.
Every year, Hollywood sends out dozens of stars, each made of terrazzo, shaped into a pink five-pointed star, inlaid with bronze and embedded in dark gray squares. Inside the pink star is the name of the awardee engraved in bronze, and below it is a ring symbol, representing the area where the recipient will receive the star.
Contribute to the film industry, and get the movie camera logo; If you contribute to the TV industry, you will get the TV logo; Contribute to the record industry, and get the gramophone record logo; Contribute to the broadcasting industry, and get the radio microphone logo; Contribute to live theater and get the tragicomedy mask logo.
The star that Shao Shuaijun gets will make a star with the logo of a movie camera.
"Getting a star and leaving a handprint, is there anything you want to say?" The moderator asked again.
Shao Shuaijun shrugged: "Why don't you wait until you install the stars, or go to press the handprint, and then ask me?" ”
This time, Shao Shuaijun will hold a star ceremony when he gets the star, and at the same time, he will also go to the Hollywood Chinese Theater to hold a handprint ceremony, leaving his own handprints, footprints and nose prints. Stars and Three Seals are two different programs, and it is very difficult to obtain Stars, while obtaining Three Seals is a bit easier.
The stars are basically determined by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which means that the American film industry represented by Hollywood is recognized. Once the stars are installed, they cannot be moved at will and will exist permanently. Li Yu won a lot of awards, but he still failed to get stars, you can imagine how difficult it is, and Wu Yusen only won three seals, not stars.
Sanyin is more of a commercial propaganda act, which is to leave a mark in front of the Chinese theater, and it is generally when a large company builds momentum for its films, it will help actors and directors to press a handprint to promote the movie.
For example, before the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" last year, Warner Bros. held a grand handprint ceremony in Nolan to promote his film. Since 2011, too many prints have been left, and even many people's prints have been moved from the front of the Chinese Theater.
Whether it is to press the handprint or leave the stars, it is a business under the cloak of leaving a name, and Hollywood is full of business.
Under normal circumstances, stars and handprints will be arranged to promote movies, television, records, etc. James. After Cameron got the stars, he chose to install them before the release of Avatar. "Iron Man 3" is going to be released soon, Mitchell. Bruce hurriedly arranged a star ceremony and a handprint ceremony for Shao Shuaijun, not just to hype it up.
Anyway, the stars can find a time to install it at any time in the next five years, and install it on March 1, just to promote the release of "Iron Man 3" on May 1, why not.
Because there were stars coming later, Shao Shuaijun didn't give any more interviews and took Li Xiuxiu into the theater. (To be continued......)
