In the United States, Hollywood, and the Chinese Theater, a fence has been put up at the entrance. A huge poster is placed at the main entrance. It says "Shao Shuaijun Hollywood Name Award and Handprint Ceremony" in both Chinese and English. On both sides of the door,
, is a huge poster of "Iron Man 3".
In front of the poster, it was arranged as a podium for the awards ceremony.
Very early in the morning, countless Chinese tourists gathered at the entrance of the China Grand Theater, as well as countless media people, holding microphones or carrying cameras. After 8 a.m., countless more people came one after another holding hands of support.
Fans under the banner of Shao Shuaijun gathered at the entrance of the Grand Theater.
It wasn't until around 9 a.m. that the main owner, Shao Shuaijun, and his entourage arrived, arousing cheers from fans and the media.
Shao Shuaijun was accompanied by government officials such as the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles, many film company bosses from Hollywood and China, as well as the entire cast of "Iron Man 3" and many big-name Hollywood and Chinese stars. The entire group arrived and immediately committed murder.
Received countless films from reporters.
Waving his hand, Shao Shuaijun walked onto the red carpet and accepted his star.
The ceremony was hosted by the mayor of Los Angeles and was broadcast live by the media and television stations.
The mayor first praised Shao Shuaijun's contribution to the film industry, and then it was Shao Shuaijun's turn to give a speech.
"First of all, I would like to thank all the friends who came to attend this ceremony. You have allowed me to see the enthusiasm and friendship. I would like to thank the Avenue of Stars Committee, thank the mayor for the praise just now, and thank you for awarding this honor to me...I also want to
Thanks to everyone who has helped me. We worked together and worked hard to complete one wonderful film after another and bring it to the audience. What I want to thank most is my family, my wife and my son.
With them by my side, I feel that every day is very fulfilling and happy. I enjoy this kind of life. In the future, I will continue to make more good movies and make my due contribution to the world film industry.
,Thanks."
After speaking, Shao Shuaijun waved his hand again.
Click, jam, and countless flashes.
"Shao, you are the best!"
"Shao, we support you."
"Shao Shuaijun. We love you!"
There were Chinese, Americans, and people from various countries. Half of them were tourists who came to join in the fun. The other half were die-hard fans who shouted loudly. The scene was very lively.
After saying thank you, the staff brought Shao Shuaijun's star over. Shao Shuaijun opened the red cloth and found a square terrazzo with a five-pointed star in the middle. In the center of the five-pointed star was a golden camera logo with English writing on it.
The three words "Shao Shuaijun".
Shao Shuaijun held up the terrazzo, smiled and posed for reporters to take photos.
This piece of terrazzo will be inlaid on the left-turn sidewalk opposite the Chinese Theater, next to the star of Hollywood superstar Depp. I accepted the congratulations of my friend Meng and took a group photo together. The star award ceremony is over, and the next round is
It was time for the handprint ceremony. After handing the stars to the staff, Shao Shuaijun, surrounded by everyone, stepped onto the podium again and delivered a speech.
"I just received the star, and now I can leave my fingerprint. It is a very happy day. For me, being able to receive such an honor is the greatest appreciation I have received since I made a movie. In my nearly ten years of filming career
, I have made a total of fifteen films. Fortunately, most of them have been recognized by everyone, and I am very grateful. Today I press my fingerprint here, which means that I have become a part of film history. How should I say, I am extremely excited. I
I hope that everyone will continue to support me in the movies I shoot in the future, such as the current movie "Iron Man 3", haha."
After the speech was finished, the staff also brought in the props.
There is a red blanket shelf and a special piece of cement. When leaving fingerprints, you can kneel on the red shelf without staining your clothes. First, take a small stick and write "Shao Shuaijun" on the cement block with flying colors.
Three words, and the date March 1, 2013.
Then he lay down, pressed his nose on the cement, and pressed his hands into the cement.
After pressing the button, Shao Shuaijun took out his two hands, which were stained with a lot of cement, and shook them. He smiled brightly. There was also some cement on his nose, which made him look very funny. Fans and tourists outside also followed suit.
laughing out loud.
The staff brought a towel, wiped off the cement on his nose, and wiped his hands. Shao Shuaijun began to leave footprints, standing on the cement. Of course, when leaving footprints, he was wearing two leather shoes, not so much as footprints.
, rather than shoe prints. Once everything is done, the ceremony is basically over. The remaining time is used to promote "Iron Man 3".
"Ajun, congratulations on leaving your mark in history!" Yi Jianmei, CEO of Jiahe Entertainment, smiled and applauded.
"Shao, you are the best director." Summit Entertainment CEO Mitchell Bruce also smiled and applauded.
"Haha, thank you."
Shao Shuaijun laughed proudly.
It’s a star and it’s a handprint, don’t be too proud.
Click, click, Shao Shuaijun's cheerful expression was recorded on film and spread throughout the world.
"The great Chinese director Shao Shuaijun will be named on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!" - "Times".
"Yesterday, Shao Shuaijun, Hollywood's most popular director at the box office, accepted his 2521st star on the Avenue of Stars in front of the China Theater and left his handprints, footprints and nose prints.
.At the ceremony, the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles, as well as many entertainment industry executives and big stars came to support." - "Hollywood Entertainment Report".
"Shao Shuaijun left his name in Hollywood and became the first person from the Mainland to win this honor." - "Beijing Entertainment News".
"Handprint ceremony helps promote "Iron Man 3", Shao Shuaijun becomes the first famous Chinese director." - "Yangcheng Evening News".
Along with Shao Shuaijun's star and handprint ceremony, the publicity for "Iron Man 3" has also been overwhelming. As the first movie in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the outside world has paid very high attention to "Iron Man 3", with several versions of trailers
The click-through rate of the film online skyrocketed.
However, after the Oscars and the handprint ceremony, Shao Shuaijun stayed away from the noise in the media and started his normal work, supervising the production of the four major fantasy series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe project. The production of "White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" has been completed and will
The film is scheduled to be released in June and will be released simultaneously in 39 regions around the world.
Over the years, Chinese-language films have had little influence overseas. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was released a few years ago, went crazy at the box office in the mainland. However, when it went overseas, it was not adapted to the local environment and almost did not win any box office. "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons"
Chapter" also hit a high of 1.2 billion yuan in the mainland, but it was also so-so overseas and there was no improvement.
In recent years, the achievements of Chinese-language films overseas are only a few Chinese-language films by Shao Shuaijun, which have achieved good box office results. Other directors have basically lost their voices.
This time, the four major magic series can be released simultaneously in 39 countries and regions, not because of confidence in the movie, but because of Shao Shuaijun's reputation. Back then, Shao Shuaijun was able to create the magic storm of "Painted Skin". This time, others are willing to make magic movies.
I believe in the golden signature produced by Shao Shuaijun.
…
On April 6, 2013, "Iron Man 3" came to Beijing to hold its world premiere. The main creative team included Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley and others.
, and Shao Shuaijun, attended the premiere together. This time the premiere was held in China, not because the director Shao Shuaijun is Chinese or the production company has a Chinese background.
I simply want to come to China to make money.
China has already surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest box office, and it is not unusual for a single film to exceed 100 million U.S. dollars. With such a large box office, Hollywood is now scrambling to squeeze into China. What kind of co-productions, co-productions, and special features
For film supply, how to please the Chinese audience and how to film.
The reason why "Iron Man 3" changed directors was because the original director, Shane Black, was unwilling to please the Chinese audience and insisted on using the Mandarin as the evil boss. This led Kevin Feige to kill him in anger.
I copied it. Originally, Kevin wanted Shao Shuaijun to add some Chinese actors and even shoot a few scenes to make a special version that only Chinese audiences could see.
Shao Shuaijun refused without thinking. This movie was directed by him and it is already attractive enough in China. There is no need to add any extraneous details. With a few Chinese actors, will the Chinese audience really buy it? Chinese audiences are not fools. You
If the film is well shot, of course they will want to watch it. If the film is not well shot, no one will watch it even if the film is all Chinese actors.
"Because Shao is Chinese, I am more and more fond of Chinese culture, including martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, and movies. If I have time, I can name three hundred Chinese movies." Robert Downey Jr. in the news
Said at the press conference, "Shao is a very contagious person. He is very talented and can always solve problems simply. I am very excited to come to China this time. I really want to know where Shao grew up.
What does it look like, but Shao has no intention of taking me to his hometown."
"Donny is not my wife. If I take him back, others will laugh at me." Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.
A reporter asked Downey what was new in the sequel. Downey said: "I am a professional actor. Of course, there must be some fresh elements in the sequel to attract me. For example, many superheroes are single, but Tony Star
Grams has a long-term female partner. I think that's pretty cool."
Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays the heroine Pepper Potts, added: "Iron Man 3 is not just a very men's movie, there are also some very romantic scenes in it that will attract female audiences. Director Shao
Her romantic skills are really amazing. I really envy Li Xiuxiu for having such a good man."
"Am I not good enough?" Donnie interjected.
Gwyneth rolled her eyes at Downey: "As the famous Iron Man, he still needs his girlfriend to save him. Do you think you are good enough?"
"Wow, maybe I just gave you a chance to be a hero."
After chatting and laughing, the entertainment of the press conference was satisfied. The main creative staff left the press conference and entered the Jiahe CBD flagship theater. The premiere of "Iron Man 3" began. (To be continued...)
