In this year, "Embarrassed in Thailand" was released in a lively manner. The entire mainland market earned a crazy 1.266 billion yuan, becoming the box office hegemon in mainland film history. It also set off a trend in Thailand.
Wow, countless mainland tourists have chosen Thailand as their destination to visit the interesting places in this movie.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was released on February 10, 2013, also started the journey.
In just a few days, it showed director Zhou Xingxing's strong appeal, and the box office performance was incredible. It earned 82.99 million yuan on the first day, and 575.97 million yuan in the first full week, breaking many records.
A record. The goal is directly towards the championship of "The Lost Journey of Thailand".
After the Spring Festival, Shao Shuaijun went to the United States.
The first of the four major fantasy series films directed by Chen Jiashang, "White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake" has already undergone post-production in the United States. Although both D2 and ILM have been acquired, their headquarters are still in the United States. Shao Shuaijun came to supervise the post-production.
Also pay attention to the post-production situation of "Iron Man 3".
After watching the half-finished film "The Legend of White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake", Shao Shuaijun thought it was pretty good. It lacked the clouds and mist of oriental magic and had more of the fast pace of Western magic. It looked much more pleasing to the eye.
The Four Magical Series can be said to be Chinese superhero movies. Since they are superheroes, they cannot be too literary and artistic. When Li Yu directed "The Incredible Hulk", he was too literary and artistic, which led to the failure of the box office. He pretended to be cool.
, the main plot is clear, a little psychological portrayal is added, and the rest is carried out by special effects. This is a qualified superhero movie.
After guiding the post-production of two movies, Shao Shuaijun flew to Hollywood with his wife Li Xiuxiu on February 24th. That day was the 85th Academy Awards ceremony, and Shao Shuaijun was confirmed to attend the award ceremony. In 2013, Shao Shuaijun
My schedule is very free and there is nothing urgent to do.
This time Shao Shuaijun appeared on the red carpet with Li Xiuxiu. In the past, Li Xiuxiu always hid behind Shao Shuaijun and helped 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
matter.
Just like what Li Xiuxiu said back then, she hoped that after giving birth to her child, she would hand over the company to produce for Shao Shuaijun. Like Christopher Nolan and his wife, they would make movies together. That’s why this time the couple held hands and appeared on the red carpet.
.
It can almost be said that after Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu got off the bus, the flashing lights couldn't stop.
As the most influential director in the world, Shao Shuaijun shows up less and less frequently, and reporters are hungry for him. What’s more, even if Shao Shuaijun shows up, his wife Li Xiuxiu barely shows up, let alone
It was said that the two attended the event together. What the reporter was most interested in was the celebrity's family life. At this moment, they were taking crazy pictures.
Click, click...
Li Xiuxiu felt a little uncomfortable. Shao Shuaijun gently put his arm around her waist and said, "Are you nervous? You are the head of a dominant entertainment company. There are so many celebrities. The boss has to politely smile when he sees you."
"Can it be the same? No one took pictures of me at that time." Li Xiuxiu complained.
"Haha, just think that they are all small business managers who are here to curry favor with you, and they are just a bunch of clouds. Every time I walk on the red carpet and so many people are watching, I will imagine that they are just a bunch of ants. When people see them, they are just a bunch of ants.
Do ants get nervous? Of course not, so I never get nervous." Shao Shuaijun looked around with disdain, as if he saw densely packed ants.
With Shao Shuaijun making her laugh, Li Xiuxiu quickly relaxed, walked the red carpet with a smile on her face, and signed her name on the poster wall at the door. The red carpet host immediately ran over and wanted to interview Shao Shuaijun and his wife.
"Director Shao, Mrs. Shao, can I interview you?"
Shao Shuaijun nodded: "Okay."
"This is the first time that Director Shao and his wife have attended the red carpet together. Director Shao has always attended events alone before. Why did he do this today?"
Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "We were both busy in the past, and my wife's personality is more low-key than mine, so she was not very willing to attend events. Recently, I have some free time in my schedule, and she doesn't want to be busy with the company, so we decided
, do something interesting together.”
"Director Shao and Mrs. Shao have a very good relationship. Mrs. Shao, is Director Shao a qualified husband? In the eyes of us Americans, a male star who has no scandals is not attractive enough."
Li Xiuxiu said awkwardly: "He is a pure person. In life, he is only interested in movies. I think this is the reason why he is not attractive to other women. But in my opinion, he is very attractive.
Handsome and talented."
"Yeah?"
Li Xiuxiu said affirmatively: "Have you seen his film "Pumping Heart"? There is a sentence in it that I like very much, 'Some people are shallow, and some people are just as good as they are on the outside. One day you will meet a rainbow-like person.
A gorgeous person makes you feel that other people are just clouds.' My husband is such a rainbow-like person, he makes all the men in the world pale in comparison, that's all."
"Haha, my wife, if you say this, I will become a public enemy, but that's the kind of person I am." Shao Shuaijun scratched his hair in disgust.
"Wow, I think I'm your enemy now, Director Shao." The host joked.
Another host rushed to say: "Director Shao, based on the 2012 nomination and selection by the Walk of Fame Committee, I will give you a star on the Walk of Fame to thank you for your contribution to Hollywood and the world's film industry in the past time.
For your contribution, a star awarding ceremony will be held on March 1st. Are you sure you will accept this star?"
"Although you have to pay a large sum of money (for installation, you must pay US$15,000 as a handling fee) in exchange for a star that will be stepped on, but why not. It is a great thing to write your name in history.
Very interesting thing, at least it will make you feel that you have become a part of history." Shao Shuaijun smiled.
The Star Award Ceremony is all organized by Summit Entertainment. Mitchell Bruce said that a larger ceremony should be held to highlight Shao Shuaijun’s identity and status. There has never been a star with a name on the Avenue of Stars.
He has such a legendary background and extremely high status.
In the past, Shao Shuaijun had a chance to win stars, but because he won too few awards, and his commercial achievements were not supported by a movie that exceeded 1 billion US dollars. This has to be said to be a tragedy for commercial directors, who can be prosperous in business
But in terms of honor, he will always be despised.
James Cameron, the king of the world, did not receive a star even though he created "Titanic". It was not until "Avatar" came out and was recognized after a small-scale screening that he received a star.
Shao Shuaijun won the star this time because he set the box office record for the most popular superhero movie and set the second personal box office record in global film history. He also completed the transformation from grassroots to world-renowned before the age of thirty.
an honor.
After receiving this star, Shao Shuaijun became the first mainland filmmaker to have his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Among the three Chinese people who received the star before, Huang Liushuang was a Chinese star from a long time ago. Needless to say, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long were from Hong Kong, China.
.
Hollywood sends out dozens of stars every year. Each star is made of a terrazzo, which is made into a pink five-pointed star shape, inlaid with bronze and then embedded in a dark gray square. Inside the pink star shape is engraved in bronze
The name of the awardee is on the top, and below it is a ring-shaped logo, representing the field where the awardee receives the star.
If you contribute to the film industry, you will get the movie camera logo; if you contribute to the television industry, you will get the television logo; if you contribute to the record industry, you will get the gramophone record logo; if you contribute to the broadcasting industry, you will get the gramophone record logo.
Get the broadcast microphone logo; contribute to live theater and get the tragicomedy mask logo.
The star that Shao Shuaijun gets will be a star with a movie camera logo.
"After receiving a star and leaving a fingerprint, what do you want to say?" the host asked again.
Shao Shuaijun shrugged: "Why don't you wait until you install the stars or press fingerprints before you ask me?"
This time Shao Shuaijun gets a star and will hold a star ceremony. At the same time, he will also hold a handprint ceremony in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, leaving his handprints, footprints and nose prints. Stars and three prints are two different procedures.
, it is very difficult to obtain stars, but it is easier to obtain three seals.
The stars are basically determined by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which means the recognition of the American film industry represented by Hollywood. Once the stars are installed, they cannot be moved at will and will exist permanently. Li Yu has won many awards, but he still has no
You can imagine how difficult it is to obtain stars, but Wu Yusen only obtained three seals and did not obtain stars.
Three seals are more of a commercial promotion behavior, which involves leaving prints in front of Chinese theaters. Usually when large companies are building publicity for their movies, they will help actors, directors, etc. get their thumbprints to promote the movie.
For example, before the release of "The Dark Knight Rises" last year, Warner Bros. held a grand handprint ceremony for Nolan to promote his movie. Since 2011, there have been so many fingerprints that even many people's fingerprints were
was moved from the front of the Chinese Theater.
Regardless of whether you press fingerprints or leave a star, they are all commercial activities under the guise of leaving a name. Business is everywhere in Hollywood.
Under normal circumstances, stars and handprints are arranged to promote movies, TV shows, records, etc. After James Cameron obtained the stars, he chose to install the stars before the release of "Avatar". "Iron Man 3" will be released soon
Well, Mitchell Bruce hurriedly arranged the star ceremony and handprint ceremony for Shao Shuaijun, just to create some hype.
Anyway, the stars can be installed at any time within the next five years. The installation on March 1st will just be a promotion for the release of "Iron Man 3" on May 1st. Why not do it.
Because another star came later, Shao Shuaijun did not give any more interviews and took Li Xiuxiu into the theater. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
