PS: Today's third update.

In fact, after scolding, Shao Shuaijun also regretted it a little, and it is also one of the highest awards for Chinese films. He can have grievances, and he shouldn't scold them, and besides, he refuses first. Sometimes Shao Shuaijun himself will ask himself, what has happened in the past six months, the former humble self is gone, and now he acts impulsively and recklessly.

In the crew, he is becoming more and more intolerant of different voices, because of different opinions on the plot, and even with the assistant director Josh. McGallain had a couple of more arguments, and then it did exactly what he wanted.

"How can this be, am I really crazy now, am I really impetuous!"

After watching the latest sample of "Night Watchman", Shao Shuaijun didn't know why, his chest was jammed: "No, no, the movie is so exciting, the scene is hot, and it is IMAX shooting." No, I'll succeed and gag everyone! ”

Out of the screening room and back to the office, Shao Shuaijun wanted to try to recover his state, but the discomfort seemed to come from all four limbs together, making him want to roar, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.

At this time, the phone rang, and it was Li Xiuxiu calling from China.

"Hey, Ah Jun, did you scold the Academy Awards?"

"Yes."

"How to scold them, if you don't want to participate, don't go, there's no need to scold. Well, now the entire Chinese-language film industry is denouncing you, especially the treasure island and Hong Kong film circles, I just got the news that "Painted Skin" has been excluded from the selection of films by the Academy Awards. ”

"So what!" Shao Shuaijun was angry. "Shit awards, a group of people who take incomprehensible art as elegant and self-righteous all day long, and my films don't bother to be judged with them!"

"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have, Ah Jun, you've been in the entertainment industry for three years, and there are some things you don't want to be so sharp. The Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards are still ...... by merit"

"Sister Xiuxiu, you also think that I don't deserve to win the award, okay. I don't deserve it! I'm going to tell the world now. I, Shao Shuaijun, do not deserve to participate in the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards, and I will not participate in these two awards in the future! Forever! ”

"Ah Jun!" Li Xiuxiu's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly rose, "Can you understand something, can you think quietly." Did you know? Your parents, my sister and I are worried about you. After the Golden Horse Awards. No, since you decided to shoot "The Night Watchman", have you taken the initiative to make a phone call back? Have you offered to tell us about the movie? We all have to look at the newspapers to find out. What did you do today. You used to always tell me how the movie you were going to make was going to be, even though I didn't really understand it. What now? Is "Night Watchman" a hero film or a horror movie? Do you even want me to keep it a secret? ”

"I ......" Shao Shuaijun was silent.

"Don't be impulsive anymore, Ah Jun, I'll go to the United States tomorrow to accompany you, wait quietly for the movie to be released, and don't pay attention to other things, okay."

After a while, Shao Shuaijun said a word softly: "Okay." ”

……

Shao Shuaijun didn't know how he was scolded outside, and he didn't even know what was going on outside.

In Santa Monica, stay quiet.

Li Xiuxiu would occasionally come over to accompany him, and then he waited for the release of "The Night Watchman" alone in torment. The schedule has been arranged, and on the last weekend of the end of May, 3,045 theaters across the United States will be released, and 69 commercial IMAX theaters across the United States will simultaneously release the IMAX version.

At the same time, it will also be released simultaneously in Southeast Asia, and then successively land in South Korea, Japan, China, Europe and other places. Originally, it was planned to be released simultaneously in China, but there was a little problem with the review of "The Night Watchman", there was too much blood and violence. The rating in the United States is R-grade, and parents under the age of 17 need to be accompanied, so the mainland naturally needs to cut some shots.

In fact, there have been several internal premieres before, and the response has been average. Everyone's comment is that it is not as amazing as "Painted Skin".

On May 25, "Night Watchman" was officially released in North America.

Li Xiuxiu accompanied Shao Shuaijun, blended in the crowd, and entered the cinema, not an IMAX cinema, but an ordinary cinema.

Shao Shuaijun watched very quietly.

Rarely speaks.

Li Xiuxiu tried hard to talk to him, but he only responded with "um" and "ah", and he didn't have any spirit.

From the very beginning of the movie, the noise of the movie theater has not stopped, the sound of snacking, whispering, flirting, and the occasional "cool" or "wow" sound or two. But more of it is "shit", "what does this mean", and "inexplicable" scolding.

And the IMAX lens that Shao Shuaijun had high hopes for did not have much effect at all in ordinary theaters, and the audience was only interested in fighting. And what Shao Shuaijun tried to tell was procedural justice and moral justice, and no one paid attention to it at all.

"It's a great fight, but, Jim, do you see what the movie is talking about? This Thomas is a fool, right? Or is the director a fool? A spectator sitting in the back row asked, confused.

"Oh yes, I just fell asleep." The guy named Jim just woke up.

The voice was particularly harsh in Shao Shuaijun's ears.

Li Xiuxiu looked at Shao Shuaijun's face carefully, and under the dim light of the big screen, the pale looked extremely white. Leaning back in his seat, I don't know whether to focus or look at the screen in a casual way, sweat slowly sliding down my sideburns.

"Ah Jun, do you want to go out first to breathe?" Li Xiuxiu took out a tissue and wiped the sweat for Shao Shuaijun.

"Let's finish it."

At the end of the movie, the audience dispersed one by one in the scolding.

There are only a few couples who are kissing, and they are still kissing oblivionly.

and Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu sitting quietly.

When the last subtitle on the big screen rises, it goes out abruptly.

"Let's go." Shao Shuaijun wanted to say these two words very easily, but when the words came to his mouth, he was hoarse as if two wooden planks were rubbing.

On the streets at night, the hot temperature has not yet dissipated, and there are many pedestrians wearing short-sleeved T-shirts and strolling through the streets. Shao Shuaijun didn't know how he was feeling now. Since the film was written, he has fallen into a state of emptiness, and the reaction of the audience to this movie tonight is the same reaction that everyone reacted to when it premiered internally a few days ago.

He was tempted to see this reaction as someone else was nitpicking about him, but unfortunately, these ordinary viewers didn't know him, they just came to enjoy a commercial blockbuster that claimed to be the first to be shot in IMAX. The result was disappointing, and the film did not leave applause and praise.

Those who have seen it, leave a curse or two, and then leave in a hurry.

"Sister Xiuxiu, isn't Dream Chasing Golden Harvest preparing for the issuance of additional shares, I feel that trouble is coming, you can go back to the company." Shao Shuaijun said in a hoarse voice.

Li Xiuxiu gently held Shao Shuaijun's arm: "No, I'll accompany you." ”

"It's okay, you go back, I want to go to the cinema again."

"I'll be with you." Lee so-so insisted.

Shao Shuaijun raised his head, looked at the sky, felt the heat in his eyes bubble outward, and then was forced back.

"Okay." (To be continued......)
