Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, 2006 was like a photo buried in an album. Shao Shuaijun was also freed from work and returned to his hometown to spend a good Spring Festival, visiting relatives, friends and classmates, staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Enjoy the tranquility in the small town.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, executives from Dream Chase Company came to Shao Shuaijun’s home to pay New Year greetings and bring their blessings.
This morning, in the evening in North America, the Oscars announced the nomination list. Unfortunately, "Painted Skin" did not receive any nominations. Among all Chinese films, only Zhang Yimou's "The Golden Armor" was nominated for best costume design. Once again
It proves that among mainland directors, only he can get some Oscar recognition.
In the past year, all the movies that should be released have been released. In the 2006 mainland movie box office list announced 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 After Love".
》310 million.
These two movies are like two big mountains, firmly suppressing all mainland movies and Hollywood blockbusters, always proving the power of Shao Shuaijun's commercial director.
Then came Zhang Yimou's "City of Golden Armor" with 270 million, breaking his own "Hero" record. Because of the existence of Shao Shuaijun, it could only be ranked third. The fourth place was "The Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang with 125 million. I think
It was very profound, but in the end it was very simple and the evaluation was average. It seems that Feng Xiaogang also wanted to imitate Zhang Yimou, hit Europe and the United States with "The Night Banquet", and represent Hong Kong films in the Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. Of course, in the end, it failed simply.
Another Hollywood blockbuster "The Da Vinci Code" ranked fifth with 105.8 million, while "Fearless", the first movie after the return of Hollywood ghost director Yu Rentai, ranked sixth with 105 million.
.
These six movies are all the movies that grossed more than 100 million yuan at the box office in mainland China in 2006.
At the same time, Time.com also released supplementary data, announcing the box office rankings of all movies since 1994. Since 2004, when Shao Shuaijun was reborn, Shao Shuaijun has been at the top of the box office list every year. In 2004, "Kung Fu" had 170 million, and "Ten" had 170 million.
"Ambush" with 150 million, "A World Without Thieves" with 121 million, followed by Shao Shuaijun's "Crazy Stone" with 120 million.
In 2005, "The Promise" earned 170 million, "Crazy Racing" 150 million, "Golden Heist" 120 million, and "King Kong" 100 million. Then came Shao Shuaijun's "Source Code" 98 million.
At the same time, the mainland's total box office list, director's box office list, and Chinese-language film global box office list formulated by Time.com were also announced one by one. Mainland's total box office list. "Painted Skin" ranked first with a box office of 360 million, and "33 Days After Love" ranked first with a box office of 310 million.
The box office occupies the third place; in the director box office rankings, Shao Shuaijun ranks first with a total box office of 908 million for five films.
On the global box office list of Chinese-language films, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Yu ranked first with a global revenue of 213 million U.S. dollars. "Painted Skin" directed by Shao Shuaijun ranked second with 202 million U.S. dollars. Zhang Yimou's "Hero" ranked second with 177 million U.S. dollars, and Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu"
104 million U.S. dollars. Ranking third and fourth. These are also the only four Chinese-language films with a global box office of over 100 million U.S. dollars.
If all movies directed by Chinese directors are included, the top spot is Wu Yusen's "Mission: Impossible 2" with US$546 million. Shao Shuaijun still has a long way to go to reach this figure.
…
After the New Year, Shao Shuaijun left for the United States again. The post-production of "The Night Watcher" was inseparable from his supervision. And he also had to follow the crew and start publicity. This is his first movie that is completely his own, even though he has never liked it.
Promotion is like a monkey show, but he still has to find time to participate in various programs to build momentum for the movie.
He is already 21 years old in the new year, and he is still young. Many American programs hope to invite him to participate. After all, the topic of this age is too strong. Even Americans have few directors who are 20 years old.
What's more, the Chinese people have always been discriminated against by them.
Americans have a kind of blindness, the so-called American will, and have always discriminated against China in all aspects, which makes Shao Shuaijun very disgusted. Therefore, Shao Shuaijun will reject all programs that have unfriendly tendencies towards China, regardless of whether they are popular or not. He only rejects them.
Participate in programs that are neutral or do not show pro-China tendencies.
But even so, major programs still want to portray him as the embodiment of the "American Dream".
"Fuck the American dream, Mitchell, I'll leave it to you to lead the team to promote the movie from now on!" Shao Shuaijun participated in a show called "Film Fans Snow-Hollywood", a big-mouthed, big-breasted host, and a slender person.
It is always said that he is 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 intolerable. He did not want to imitate "cents" and betray his country for glory. He had always been proud of his country and his skin color. The reason why he came to Hollywood to make a movie was firstly to make money, and secondly to prove himself.
, instead of coming here to kneel and lick the Americans!
From what they say, there is always a feeling of being superior and giving charity to you.
This feeling is very bad.
So Shao Shuaijun immediately threw down his sleeves and handed over the publicity to Mitchell, who plunged into the post-production of "The Night Watcher". As time went by, the Hong Kong Film Awards came. When the Film Awards Organizing Committee
When an invitation was sent to him, Shao Shuaijun simply refused. He had already been injured once at the Golden Horse Awards and he didn’t want to get hurt a second time!
Even in the future, he will never participate in these rubbish awards that attract attention.
Regarding Shao Shuaijun's absence, the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee was very unhappy and published a notice in the newspaper. Although the tone was oblique, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was a satire on Shao Shuaijun for looking down on the Hong Kong Film Awards and Hong Kong movies and for being arrogant.
, defiant.
Originally, Shao Shuaijun never cared about 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 ran over.
As a result, he was fooled and all four elements were lost.
"I've been so successful, why do you still dare to look down on me? Play with me?"
This is the voice of Shao Shuaijun. He had held it back before, but who would have thought that the Academy Awards would pop up again. Shao Shuaijun broke out in a reporter's interview: "I don't know what the Academy Awards are. I have already participated in a ridiculous award.
There is no need to participate in a second ridiculous award. My movies are made for the general audience, not for the so-called artists."
Boom, as if the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima.
Shao Shuaijun's words immediately caused a big earthquake.
"Shao Shuaijun is a funny clown. He made a few films that made no sense and then forgot about it. The Academy Awards has a history of more than 20 years and is older than Shao Shuaijun. From the Academy Awards, Yusen Wu came out, International directors such as Xu Ke cannot be slandered by anyone. Let us wish "Nightwatch" a global hit and hope that he will never fail." Wen Jun, chairman of the Academy Awards and famous screenwriter, immediately hit back in the newspaper.
"No one can ignore the Hong Kong Film Awards. Our glory has made Chinese films known to the world! Directors who do not understand and respect people will be cast aside by the world!" Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards and famous director Chen Jiashang responded. ( To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
