"Happy New Year, Happy Chinese New Year!"
With the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, 2006 is like a photo buried in an album. Shao Shuaijun was also freed from work, went back to his hometown to spend the Spring Festival, went to relatives and friends to reunite, stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoyed the peace and quiet in the town.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the executives of Dream Chaser Company came to Shao Shuaijun's house to greet the New Year, and by the way, they brought blessings.
This morning, in the evening of North America, the Oscars announced the list of nominees. "Painted Skin" unfortunately did not receive any nominations, and among all Chinese films, only Zhang Yimou's "A City Full of Golden Armor" was nominated for Best Costume Design, proving once again that mainland directors can only be slightly recognized by the Oscars.
In the past year, all the movies that should be released have been released, and in the 2006 mainland film box office list published by Time.com, Shao Shuaijun's "Painted Skin" topped the list with 360 million yuan, and the runner-up was also Shao Shuaijun's "33 Days of Broken Love" with 310 million.
These two movies are like two mountains, crushing all mainland films and Hollywood blockbusters, always proving the power of Shao Shuaijun's commercial director.
followed by Zhang Yimou's "The City Full of Golden Armor" 270 million, breaking his own "Hero" record, because of the existence of Shao Shuaijun, he could only rank third. The fourth place is Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" 125 million, I want to say it very profoundly, but in the end it is very plain, and the evaluation is average, it seems that Feng Xiaogang also wants to learn from Zhang Yimou, and use "Night Banquet" to impact Europe and the United States, and represent Hong Kong films to compete for the Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. In the end, of course, it was a very simple failure.
Another Hollywood blockbuster "The Da Vinci Code" ranked fifth with 105.8 million, while Hollywood ghost director Yu Rentai, the first film "Huo Yuanjia" after his return, ranked sixth with 105 million.
These six films are all the films that broke 100 million at the mainland box office in 2006.
At the same time, Time.com also released supplementary data, announcing all the movie box office lists since 94 years one by one, since Shao Shuaijun was reborn in 2004, Shao Shuaijun has occupied the top of the box office list every year. In 2004, "Kung Fu" was 170 million, "Ambush on All Sides" was 150 million, "There Are No Thieves in the World" 121 million, followed by Shao Shuaijun's "Crazy Stone" 120 million.
In 2005, "Wuji" had 170 million, "Crazy Racing" had 150 million, "The Great Gold Robbery" had 120 million, and "King Kong" had 100 million. followed by Shao Shuaijun's "Source Code" 98 million.
At the same time, the total box office list of the mainland, the box office list of directors, and the global box office list of Chinese films formulated by Time.com were also announced one by one. The total box office list in the mainland. "Painted Skin" occupies the first place with a box office of 360 million, "33 Days of Broken Love" occupies the third place with a box office of 310 million, and Shao Shuaijun tops the director box office list with a total box office of 908 million for five films.
The global box office list of Chinese films directed by Li Yu "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is 213 million US dollars worldwide, occupying the top spot. Shao Shuaijun directed "Painted Skin" for $202 million. In second place. Zhang Yimou's "Hero" is $177 million, and Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" is $104 million. Ranked third and fourth. This is also the only four Chinese-language films that have exceeded 100 million US dollars at the global box office.
If you count all the films directed by Chinese. At the top of the list is Wu Yusen's "Mission Impossible 2" with $546 million, and Shao Shuaijun still has a long way to go to reach this figure.
……
After the New Year. Shao Shuaijun set off for the United States again, and the post-production of "Night Watchman" was inseparable from his supervision. And he also has to follow the crew and start promoting. This is his first film of his own, and although he has always disliked monkey show publicity, he still has to find time to participate in various shows to build momentum for the film.
In the new year, he was twenty-one years old, and he was still young, and many American programs hoped to invite him to participate, after all, the topic of this age is too strong. Even Americans don't have a few twenty-year-old directors, let alone the Chinese who have been discriminated against by them.
The Americans have a kind of blind, so-called American will, and have always discriminated against China in all aspects, which makes Shao Shuaijun very disgusted. Therefore, Shao Shuaijun rejected all programs that had unfriendly tendencies toward China, regardless of whether they were popular or not. He only participates in programs that are neutral or do not show pro-Chinese tendencies.
But that's it, the major programs still want to portray him as the embodiment of the "American dream".
"Fuck the American dream, Mitchell, and the movie will be handed over to you to lead the team for publicity in the future!" Shao Shuaijun participated in a show called "FilmisNow-Hollywood", a big-mouthed and big-breasted host, who always said that he was the most successful young foreigner in the United States, the best embodiment of the American will, and the representative of the American dream.
This made Shao Shuaijun unbearable, he didn't want to learn "cents" to sell the country for glory, he has always been proud of his country and skin color. The reason why he wants to come to Hollywood to make movies is to make money, and secondly, to prove himself, not to come and kneel and lick the Yankees!
From their words, there is always a feeling of being on top and giving to you.
It's a bad feeling.
So Shao Shuaijun immediately threw up his sleeves and quit, handed over the publicity to Mitchell, and he plunged into the post-production of "Night Watchman". With the passage of time, the Hong Kong Film Awards came. When the Academy Awards Organizing Committee sent an invitation, Shao Shuaijun simply refused, the Golden Horse Awards had already injured him once, and he didn't want to be injured a second time!
Even in the future, he will not participate in these grandiose garbage awards again.
Regarding Shao Shuaijun's non-arrival, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee was very unhappy and published a notice in the newspaper, although the tone was roundabout. But a discerning person can see at a glance that this is a satire that Shao Shuaijun looks down on the Academy Awards, looks down on Hong Kong movies, is arrogant, and has no one in his eyes.
Originally, Shao Shuaijun never cared about the awards, but he deliberately made himself look more calm, as if he didn't care about gains and losses. As a result, the Golden Horse Award gave him a punch, which made him lose face, and he ran over with his fart, but he was played with, and the four were empty.
"I've been so successful, why dare you underestimate me? Trick me? ”
This is Shao Shuaijun's heart, he held back before, who would have thought that the Academy Awards would jump out again. Shao Shuaijun broke out in an interview with reporters: "I don't know what the Academy Awards are, I have already participated in a ridiculous award, and there is no need to participate in a second ridiculous award." My films are made for a wide audience, not for so-called artists. ”
Boom, as if the atomic bomb had fallen on Hiroshima.
Shao Shuaijun's words immediately caused a major earthquake.
"Shao Shuaijun is a funny clown, and after making a few incomprehensible films, he got carried away. The Academy Awards have a history of more than 20 years, which is older than Shao Shuaijun. From the Academy Awards, there are international directors such as Wu Yusen and Xu Ke, which are not something that anyone can denigrate. Let's wish "The Night Watchman" a global hit, and hope that he will never fail. The chairman of the Academy Awards, the famous screenwriter Wen Jun, immediately hit back in the newspaper.
"No one can ignore the Hong Kong Film Awards, our brilliance has made Chinese films known to the world! Directors who don't know how to respect people will be spurned by the world! The vice chairman of the Academy Awards, the famous director Chen Jiashang, responded. (To be continued......)
