Director’s Legend

() Beyond Zhang Yimou?

Shao Shuaijun shook his head: "It's only temporary. "Hero" has not been released in North America yet. Once it is released, the box office of 50 million US dollars will not be a problem. It will be easy for the world to break one billion yuan. "Source Code" does not expect to surpass "Hero" Moreover, I am now worried that in China, it seems that it is getting more and more difficult to break through 100 million."

"Source Code" became a big hit. North America contributed too much to the box office, but the mainland was a bit sluggish. After two weeks, it was 72 million yuan, but the potential seemed to have been exhausted, and the word of mouth did not have the expected praise. Many people said they didn't know "Source Code" So said. Some people even pointed out that "Source Code" was filmed to cater to the tastes of old Americans, which is a kind of fawning.

"It's okay, "Source Code" is already the best domestic sci-fi movie."

"That's right. Originally, "Source Code" was just a work of practice, just a touchstone." Shao Shuaijun shook off his burden, feeling that he was too stubborn. The shabby cost of "Source Code" can achieve this result. If it is another director, he can wake up from sleep with a smile. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

5% domestic share, if you lose it, you will lose it, and it’s not like you haven’t seen money!

"Let's go, meet college student directors, and see if we can win an award tomorrow."

This year's 12th Beijing College Student Film Festival, after more than 20 days of publicity and screenings, announced the nominations for awards on May 1st. There are several parts to the award, including the newcomer award for college students' entries, and the entries for enthusiasts. Of course, the highlight is the awarding of the regular awards on May 14.

Shao Shuaijun's "Crazy Stone" did not receive any nominations, while "Source Code", which is currently in theaters, was nominated for Best Director and Best Viewing Effect. Originally, Shao Shuaijun's "Buried Alive" was expected to be shortlisted for the Best First Film Award, but unfortunately, "Buried Alive" was released at the same time as the last Beijing College Student Film Festival. In terms of schedule, it should be the work of the previous session.

In fact, "Buried Alive" can be regarded as this year's work, or last year's work, but the organizing committee feels that Shao Shuaijun is an old fritter who has made three films now, so it is better not to compete with newcomers.

Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" was nominated for Best Feature Film.

When they arrived at the Olympic Sports Center, a special person came to receive them, and they went directly to the waiting room of the venue. Stones, racing cars and source code share a waiting room. In the order of the red carpet arranged by the organizing committee this time, Shao Shuaijun walked the red carpet with Fan Bingbing, and Ning Hao walked the red carpet with Huang Bo and other racing members. Originally, Fan Bingbing was also coming, but halfway through he received a notice from the crew of "Beautiful New World" that he needed to make up shots, so only Shao Shuaijun and Ning Hao were left as partners.

"Shao Shuaijun." Just as he was about to enter the waiting room, Shao Shuaijun heard someone calling him, it was Lu Chuan.

"Director Lu, what's the matter?" Shao Shuaijun was a little surprised, he hadn't spoken a few words to Lu Chuan.

"Take a step to talk." Lu Chuan helped Shao Shuaijun to the corner. "It's like this. I am a member of the All-China Youth Federation. I just received a message from above asking me to ask you if you are willing to join the Youth Federation. This year's tenth The 1st Youth Committee has already started preparations, if you want to join the Youth Federation, they will help you arrange it as soon as possible.”

Youth Federation?

Shao Shuaijun was puzzled: "Youth Federation is a youth federation? Are there any standards and requirements?"

"It's nothing special. Generally, well-known young people will be recruited. It's mainly a status symbol. There's no specific work to do. It's enough to come to the meeting once or twice a year."

"That's it, as long as there is nothing else to do, I agree." Shao Shuaijun nodded. He still knows about the Youth Federation. It has no specific functions, or it is a symbol of min zhu. It is just like ordinary people as a representative of the National People's Congress Similarly, it is not necessary to really care about national affairs.

If the higher-ups want their own fame, they can also put gold on their face. If they say it, they are people with status, so why not do it?

Seeing that Shao Shuaijun agreed to come down, Lu Chuan nodded and walked away. Shao Shuaijun opened the door and went in, and saw Huang Bo, Liu Yifei, Guo Tao and others who were joking.

"The King of the Mainland is here! Welcome!" Huang Bo laughed and took the lead in applauding.

Shao Shuaijun quickly waved his hand: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, everyone will be safe?"

Everyone here is old acquaintances, Huang Bo, Liu Yifei, Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Ning Hao, Yue Xiaojun, and Dong Lifan, who plays the role of a fat woman in a racing car. The reason why these people are not only invited by the organizing committee, but also related to Ning Hao's new movie, and the plan of "No Man's Land" was shelved, so Shao Shuaijun naturally mentioned "Golden Heist" a little bit.

Ever since, everyone gathered together and prepared to create "The Golden Heist". Except for Liu Yifei, everyone else was determined to star in the movie.

"Our waiting room feels different. The two billionaire directors are both younger than me." Dong Lifan said loudly.

"Sister Fei, don't mention your age, even I am younger than you." Guo Tao said contemptuously, Dong Lifan is also an old man in the entertainment industry, and started acting in movies in the 1990s. , older than everyone present. She has the best relationship with Guo Tao. They both debuted in "To Live" directed by Zhang Yimou, and they have known each other for more than ten years.

"Xiao Guozi, what do you mean? Why am I not young anymore? I'm still single! Ask Brother Hua, am I still young?"

Liu Hua rolled her eyes: "It depends on who you compare with. Compared with me, you are indeed two years younger. Compared with Ning Hao and Shao Shuaijun, you can be an aunt or a great aunt."

Everyone is from a comedy background, and the atmosphere has always been lively, even noisy. Shao Shuaijun is not a comedy connoisseur. Looking at Liu Yifei, who had a stomachache from laughing, he asked suspiciously, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you went to the production team of "The Condor Heroes"?"

Liu Yifei stopped laughing: "I can go to whatever crew I like, why, you don't welcome me?"

"No way, I'm very happy. Fan Bingbing didn't come, I thought I had to walk the red carpet with Ning Hao, a big bastard, and I was depressed. By the way, if you don't go there, the bearded man won't blame you?"

"Director Zhang is very talkative. I didn't do very well in "The Condor Heroes", so I didn't feel ashamed to stay. I feel that my performance in "Source Code" is okay, right?"

"Hehe, change the subject."

"What do you mean, you!"

Shao Shuaijun smiled awkwardly and said, "Didn't you read the American newspapers? After the judges of the Golden Raspberry Awards read "Source Code", they said in the newspaper that Shao Shuaijun and Liu Yifei could compete for next year's Golden Raspberry Awards for the worst man and woman. Protagonist Award."

"What, no?" Liu Yifei suddenly stopped laughing.

Everyone knows what the Golden Raspberry Award is. It is specially set up to spoof the Oscars, and it is set up for the worst filmmakers. Shao Shuaijun was also very speechless. As for Lao Mei's running on people like this, he said that the two of them have no acting skills at all? At least Shao Shuaijun felt that his acting was not bad.
