0258 【The Key to Living】
Started at seven o'clock and ended at nine o'clock, Shao Shuaijun held high the palm-sized golden sour plum trophy and walked out in the flash of reporters. Many reporters wanted to interview Shao Shuaijun.
"Hey, Director Shao, congratulations on winning the Director Award, can you give us an interview?" Reporters from Hong Kong came up and chanted.
Shao Shuaijun thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go to Santa Monica and find a place to have a drink." ”
At that moment, he took two reporters and got into a truck together and left Hollywood.
Hollywood, like Santa Monica, is a small city just below Los Angeles, not far away, about half an hour's drive away. Finding a quiet café, Shao began to accept the two reporters from Hong Kong's Sing Pao, one of the three major newspapers in Hong Kong and influential in the mainland, especially in terms of Baoyu, and his unwavering support.
After ordering coffee, the reporter immediately started the interview: "Director Shao, do you need us to congratulate you first?" ”
Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "If you congratulate me at this time tomorrow, I will be very happy, forget it now." I didn't expect Director Li Yu to win the Oscar for Best Director for the Chinese, but I won the worst director for the Chinese, which is a shame. ”
"The director didn't have smooth sailing, that is, director Li Yu, who also messed up "The Incredible Hulk", and then there was the success of "Brokeback Mountain". Your Nightwatchman was just one attempt, and now Inception is a global hit at $911.2 million. Ranked thirteenth in the box office list of global film history, this is the highest box office of all Chinese directors, and "Inception" is still in theaters in some countries and regions, your success is no worse than that of director Li Yan. ”
The reporter complimented, Shao Shuaijun smiled and did not answer. The reporter asked: "Many celebrities and artists are reluctant to come to Jin Sumei to receive the award, what is the reason?" Prompted you to attend in person? ”
Shao Shuaijun thought about it for a moment. Said slowly and seriously: "When I received the invitation from the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, I probably guessed that this time I should get the worst, if you don't win the prize." They don't have to invite you. I was very angry at the time. As a director. This is indeed insulting. But if you think about it calmly, it's not a good thing that I won such an award. ”
"How so?"
"Because it reminds you all the time. Oh, you didn't put your heart into it, so you made a movie that everyone didn't approve of. Whenever you are complacent and think of the Golden Raspberry Award, you will calm down and meditate on this period of time. Are you arrogant, are you fluttering? Have you put your mind to making movies and doing things, have you repeatedly revised the script and checked the shots? I think this trophy will have a profound impact on me, and if I continue to succeed in the future, I will have a part of it. ”
The reporter took the recorder and wrote something on the paper, and then asked: "So, you came to receive this award today with an attitude of scrutiny of yourself?" ”
Shao Shuaijun leaned back in the chair to make himself more relaxed: "How to say, I didn't look at myself, I just came to remind myself about the problems on the movie." ”
"Didn't you look at yourself, it seems that during "Night Watch", you were also criticized?"
"I know what you mean." Shao Shuaijun took a sip of coffee and smiled, "During the filming of "Night Watchman", I was more ...... How to put it, it's very arrogant. Your peers scolded me very badly, there were many filmmakers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and there were many people who jumped out, anyway, they were all attacking my voices during that period of time. You have a colleague, I still remember how he scolded me, saying that Shao Shuaijun is the character of the Zhongshan wolf, and he is rampant. ”
"That's too much of a word, and it hurts you a lot, right?"
"It's not big, in fact what he said is also the truth, I'm such a character." Shao Shuaijun clasped his hands on his chest, perhaps self-deprecating, or self-analysis, "I always knew that I had a big flaw in my personality. Just like Huang Xiaoxian said in "33 Days of Broken Love", my temper is on fire. When he is proud, he is arrogant, and when he is unhappy, he keeps a straight face, rarely restrains himself, and does not want to restrain himself. I've tried to make myself a little more tactful, but if I could change it, I wouldn't be Shao Shuaijun. ”
"It's not as bad as you say, I'm here to talk to you face to face, I feel like you're a very approachable, no struggling person?"
"That's because you don't know me, I belong to the kind of person who is more self-conscious, if I hadn't made these movies, I might have been a cynical dead brain, maybe with a little hard work and talent, I can make a living, but I definitely can't make it into a big climate. Because in this world, you can't succeed if you are talented, you also have to have a heart and chance. Especially this kind of thing, chance, it's amazing. ”
If it weren't for rebirth, Shao Shuaijun wouldn't know when he would be able to direct a movie independently, if it wasn't for rebirth, he would have been rolling at the bottom of the entertainment industry for the rest of his life, he wouldn't know that his previous self was so naïve and ridiculous. It is said that you have to stand tall to see far, and Shao Shuaijun is deeply touched.
The problems that I couldn't see in my previous life, I saw them clearly in this life, and I felt them in my last life, and I felt them in this life. I had never even seen an IMAX camera in my previous life, and I used an IMAX camera to shoot two movies in my life. In my previous life, I didn't know that applause could make people hot-headed, and in this life, I also knew the bitterness of the higher you stand and the more you fall.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change
Shao Shuaijun can't make himself a character that everyone likes, and then he will no longer be him.
All he can do is live his true self.
Even if the world slanders me, slanders me, scolds me, belittles me, reverses me, and hates me.
I'm still me, fireworks of different colors.
Alive, with its own splendor.
Even if it's just for a moment.
Someone understands me, loves me, praises me, appreciates me, likes me, and exalts me.
Such a life is enough.
What could not be more than that?
Holding the Golden Raspberry Award on the table in his hand, the worn-out film box also became kind. Even discarded boxes once had their glory, because they carried the tools that made people dream, the rolls of film.
Looking at the Golden Sour Plum Award, Shao Shuaijun complained about the boredom and depression that had accumulated in his heart, and also announced his new life.
No more running away and retreating, no more dwelling on what you have and what you don't.
Alive, alive in style.
Grasp the beauty of the world in time, and don't let yourself hesitate and regret.
This is the attitude of life.
When the reporter's interview came to the end, Shao Shuaijun needed to make a testimonial ending. Shao Shuaijun held the Golden Raspberry Award and smiled brightly: "Thank you fate for giving me a key to open the door, push the door open, I see what I want!" Thank you! (To be continued......)
