Director’s Legend

() The entrance of Yonghua Cinema in Shanghai is covered with a bright red carpet. Even in the evening, the weather was still hot. Shao Shuaijun was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, and his forehead was covered with sweat. At the entrance of the theater behind him, a huge poster board was built, and a huge "Crazy Stone" movie poster was posted on the book.

Beside him were Xu Zheng and Guo Tao who were sweating like him. In order to promote the movie, the three had to pose in front of the poster for the reporters below to take pictures. This time all the main creators came, Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Lian Weijian, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Yue Xiaojun, Wang Xun, Peng Bo, Sun Ning, Gu Xuan and so on.

After Shao Shuaijun took a group photo with all the main creators, he got into the backstage of the movie theater. The flash is not his hobby, and it is too hot outside.

"Brother Zhao, are you all ready?" Shao Shuaijun found Zhao Cheng who was arranging seats.

"It's ok, you should also be prepared, there are quite a few people coming tonight, let's not break the rules, we are all big names in the film industry, we can't afford to offend you," Zhao Cheng warned.

This time, it has been confirmed that not only the artists under Huayi Brothers, but also a large number of film industry celebrities will come. Just the directors confirmed to be present include Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Teng Huatao, Chen Kexin, Huang Jianxin, Lu Chuan, Zhang Baibai, Meng Jinhui, Wang Xiaoshuai and others.

Previously in the cultural circles of Beijing and Shanghai, I had a few trial screenings, and the reputation was quite good, which attracted many directors and stars to come to join me. Of course, director Zhang Yimou couldn't refuse Shao Shuaijun's invitation because of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree", and director Feng Xiaogang was invited by Wang Zhonglei.

At six o'clock, the fireworks were in full bloom outside, and the first batch of stars arrived, and the most popular star Sun Honglei was at the forefront. Immediately, a large number of reporters rushed forward, and the microphone was extended: "Mr. Sun Honglei, what is your relationship with "Crazy Stone", and why did you come to join us?"

"I'm a fan of Director Shao's movie. I watched it once in Beijing, and I really like it. No, I want to come over and watch it for free."

After signing the poster and taking pictures, Sun Honglei walked into the cinema, and Shao Shuaijun led Guo Tao, Liu Hua and others to greet him: "Welcome Mr. Sun."

"Director Shao is too polite, I am your fan, I really like this movie." Sun Honglei was very enthusiastic, and held Huang Bo's hand again, "You are a black skin, your acting is so good, I laughed so hard watching it gone."

"Hehehe." Huang Bo smirked.

A lot of celebrities came one after another, Shao Shuaijun is not very familiar with them, nodding acquaintances. After a while, Feng Xiaogang and Lu Chuan came over together, the reporter stopped the way, and naturally asked why they were there and what they thought of the movie.

"I like this movie so much. Congratulations to Shao Shuaijun. I think if his talent continues, director Feng Xiaogang will be the most nervous." Lu Chuan "struck" Feng Xiaogang face to face.

Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "This is a good thing. It is lonely without an opponent. Life is wonderful when you have an opponent."

After the two, Fan Bingbing and Chen Daoming came together, answered the reporter, and walked into the cinema. Shao Shuaijun hurriedly nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, Miss Fan, welcome."

Chen Daoming nodded and walked away. Fan Bingbing said, "Director Shao, the movie was shot wonderfully. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future."

"OK."

The red carpet was full of stars, and the reporters next to them were having a great time taking pictures. Any star would be big news if it was pulled out.

At around 6:30, a big director completely greeted the red carpet earthquake. He was Zhang Yimou. His just-painted "House of Flying Daggers" went straight to the top of this year's box office and won 150 million box office, becoming the best-selling film in the past two years. Domestic films, although not as popular as "Hero" in 2002, are also existences that other directors dare not look up to.

"Director Zhang, "House of Flying Daggers" won the box office championship. Does this mean that you have surpassed other directors in the field of commercial films?"

"Director Zhang, "House of Flying Daggers" failed to surpass "Hero", and there are a lot of negative reviews. What do you think about this matter?"

"Director Zhang..."

Zhang Yimou was expressionless: "Today is the premiere of "Crazy Stone", please don't ask me irrelevant topics."

"Then Director Feng, why did you attend this premiere?"

"That's a good question. I came to the premiere, and I was naturally invited by Shao Shuaijun. You know, I once bought one of his scripts. It was this money that made "Buried Alive" so successful. You said Should I come?"

"Can you tell me what script it is?"

"Pure love in the 1970s, "Love in the Hawthorn Tree."

"So when will the filming start? As far as I know, you are already filming "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles"?"

"Don't worry, "Crazy Stone" is going to be a big hit anyway. Shao Shuai is armed, and he will take it out and start shooting, haha." Zhang Yimou joked, then signed his name on the poster and entered the cinema. Shao Shuaijun personally led Zhang Yimou to the seat, not only Zhang Yimou's status, but also a sense of gratitude. As he said, with the 150,000 yuan, there is only now.

...

At 7:30, the theater was full of people, 500 seats, 200 seats for artists, 200 seats for media, and less than 100 people were ticket-buying audiences.

The lights went out, and the big screen came on. First, there was the dragon logo of SARFT, then the logo of Huayi Brothers, and then the list of main creators in white characters on a black background. Han Sanye and other people who had nothing to do with the movie, all of them The identity of the producer is hung on it.

Finally, the words "Director Shao Shuaijun" appeared, with English letters below them, and the screen began to appear three seconds later.

First, Bao Shihong (played by Guo Tao) checked his prostate problem in the hospital, and the doctor (played by Liu Sanxi) took cotton wool and stabbed his buttocks. Then Guo Tao ended the first set of pictures with a painful expression on his face.

"It started off a bit vulgar."

Hang Dajun took a pen and wrote down a few words on the paper, and shook his head by the way: "The advertisement is not credible, the beginning is so vulgar, it seems that this movie can't break away from the framework of low taste."

Hang Dajun is a reporter from a newspaper in Shanghai. He once reported on "Buried Alive" and was deeply attracted by "Buried Alive". He began to pay attention to Shao Shuaijun, a young director. This time it took a long time to get the tickets to the premiere, just to catch a glimpse of Shao Shuaijun's new film and get first-hand information by the way.

But this beginning did not surprise Hang Dajun.

Then, the screen turned, and the scenery on the ground began to be photographed from the cable car, and the appearance of the mountain city was unobstructed, which was unique. This made Hang Dajun a little interested. When Xie Xiaomeng (Peng Bo)'s shameless line of picking up girls was staged, especially the line "The city is the mother's body, and we live in her womb", the next one The aunt rolled her eyes, "Rogue!".

Immediately, Hang Dajun burst into laughter, and many people in the cinema laughed out loud.

Next, Xie Xiaomeng failed to pick up a girl, but was stepped on by the heel of the girl's shoe, and dropped a can of Coke from the cable car by mistake. Coke was drizzled all the way, the picture flickered, and "Crazy Stone" was printed on the screen in Chinese and English. The movie officially begins.

In just five minutes, Hang Dajun was attracted by the plot: "It turned out to be a multi-line narration, a classic Guy Ritchie technique, unconventional, logical, good!" Hang Dajun directly wrote the previous few The words were crossed out, and I wanted to write something more, but I was afraid of delaying watching the movie, so I simply put the notebook away.

Don't worry about any comments, just watch it after enjoying it!
