Director’s Legend - Chapter 332
At the beginning of June, under the rampage of “The Hunger Games”, the North American summer box office was massacred. This is the summer file, not the May file of “Teddy Bear”. The market cannot be compared at all! But the ending is tragic. “The Hunger Games” was too popular. “Shrek 4” was $28 million, and “Iron Man 2” was $21.1 million. None of them reached the expected goal. Only “Teddy Bear” was small. This has increased a bit, reaching $8.2 million.
During the three-day weekend from June 11th to 13th, “The Hunger Games” took another hit, reaching the top twice with $62 million. The Sino-US co-production blockbuster “Kung Fu Dream” starring Cheng Long ranked second with $55.66 million. Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, and Jet Li are basically the most popular Chinese stars in Hollywood at the box office.
“Iron Man 2” has dived for $7.59 million, but North America has surpassed $300 million at the box office, and the world has exceeded $500 million, making it a top-selling movie in Pinnacle Entertainment.
And “Teddy Bear” was also perfected in North America for US$3.6 million. The total box office in North America was US$279 million, surpassing “The Hangover” by US$277 million, becoming the most popular R-rated comedy in North America. The global gross box office also reached 591 million U.S. dollars, surpassing “The Hangover 2” by 581 million U.S. dollars, becoming the most popular R-rated comedy in history. It is still in theaters worldwide. It is expected that it will not be a problem to exceed 600 million U.S. dollars.
This also became Shao Shuaijun’s second-grossing film in the world.
Summit Entertainment stirs up the wind and rain in the movie circle. Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu have also reached the busiest moments of their lives. They decided to take their stomachs before they show their feelings and prepare to make up the wedding on Kauai Island in Hawaii. The wedding date has been set for June 26, 2010. According to the old almanac, this day is suitable for marriage.
For this reason, Shao Shuaijun took Li Xiuxiu to the island in mid-June to personally inspect the wedding venue. Kauai is a honeymoon paradise with beautiful scenery, and many movies have been shot here. The young couple is half to play and half to choose a location, and finally decided to choose Half Moon Bay as the accommodation area, and the wedding was held at Kilauea Lighthouse.
Kilauea Lighthouse is in the northern part of Kauai Island, a small peninsula, 60 meters above sea level, with large lawns and open spaces, very suitable for weddings. The original plan was to hold a wedding in my hometown, but considering that there may be reporters interviewing, I moved away from China and held a Western-style wedding here in Hawaii.
When everything was ready here, Shao Shuaijun excused the follow-up production of “Rise of the Apes” and left Kauai temporarily, leaving the wedding to the women to continue preparations.
But in fact, Shao Shuaijun did not go to Hollywood at all. Instead, he came to Hong Kong and found Huang Bo, Xu Ceng, Yang Ying, and several gold medal producers of Dream Music.
Pata, in the conference room, Shao Shuaijun pressed a piece of paper on the table: “Everyone, this song is called “China-Style” (Chinese style). I wrote it. The tune is not good. I can hum it. Look at it. Fuck, I will record this song within a week. The MV will be directed by myself! Huang Bo, Yang Ying and my lead singer.”
Qin Tian, general manager of Dream Music, picked up the lyrics and read:
“I’m China-Style, China-Style.
This is the only dance at my grand wedding.
From Phoenix to Santa Monica all dance this dance.
Dance this dance with the capital city of Mumbai and Hong Kong.
You will definitely understand my dance.
I am a man.
The kind of man who rides across the mountains alone.
Dance to your heart’s content just for your smiling man.
I was a man at your grand wedding.
I am a man.
Chorus: So beautiful and charming.
It’s you, hey, it’s you, hey.
So beautiful and charming.
It’s you, hey, it’s you, hey.
Let’s go together from now on until old age!
I’m China-Style, China-Style.
I’m China-Style, China-Style.
I’m China-Style, cute girl.
I’m China-Style, cute girl.
eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
…”
“You don’t feel like reading it at all, you all pay attention to me sing a cappella first. Cough cough. Let me China-Style, China-Style…” Shao Shuaijun sang loudly. If it is not for the future, I don’t know what Shao Shuaijun is singing.
Shao Shuaijun does not know how to write songs. This is an adapted song, adapted from “Jiangnan Style”, which will be popular all over the world in the future. Uncle Bird sings and dances, creating the Guinness World Record and becoming the most popular MV on video websites. The song set off a global horse-riding boom.
There is always something to be creative at the wedding, and there are some unforgettable memories. Shao Shuaijun thought of this song and adapted it into his wedding march. It would be very interesting. As a bride, Li Xiuxiu definitely wants a grand wedding, so he uses horseback riding as a ceremony to welcome the bride!
Although the singing was stuttering, the tune of the song was understood by this group of gold medal producers. Almost an hour later, the adaptation version of “China-Style” that basically restored the melody was born.
“The song is catchy, and the melody is very dynamic, Shao Dong Dacai!” Qin Tian started flattering.
Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands: “So, starting from today, we will rehearse during the day and record at night! You guys hurry up to make the rhythm, and I will shoot the MV.”
For the wedding and love, Shao Shuaijun directed the “China-Style” MV with great enthusiasm. For this reason, the entire production team of Dream Chasing Jiahe was dispatched. Wang Yixue, Ning Hao, Li Fangfang, Jiang Zhigang and Bai Jifei served as deputy directors, Huang Yuetai and Huang Jiahui Lu Le is the photographer, Wu Baoling is the stylist, and Yi Jianmei, Wang Ziwen and Sloppy are the producers.
Most of the actors and singers under the Dreaming Culture Brokerage Company participated in the production of the MV if they had time to spare.
It can be said that this is the most brilliant MV in the entire Chinese song industry, and the whole world cannot find such a luxurious lineup. Shao Shuaijun even contributed his own special plane, Airbus A380, and used the “China-Style” logo as the MV material.
In just one week, the single “China-Style” turned out.
The song is mainly sung by Huang Bo, and Shao Shuaijun only personally sings in the chorus part. And the MV is basically Huang Bo’s main dance, Shao Shuaijun only leads the dance in some of the Qi dance scenes, Xu Ceng plays the scene of fighting against Huang Bo, and Yang Ying is responsible for the lead dancer of the female dance.
After the production is completed, the effect is quite gorgeous.
In Qin Tian’s words, this is the single that he has heard the most people want to hum and dance with.
When the time came on June 25, Shao Shuaijun arranged everything and hurried to Kauai to meet Li Xiuxiu.
The wedding will be held the next day.
The dress rehearsal should be held one day in advance, especially the questions about the priest’s question and answer for the western wedding. Neither of them is a believer, and there is no chance to get married in the church, just because there is no church nearby. Their wedding should be a combination of Chinese and Western, not sticking to conventions and proceeding in accordance with the general ceremony.
Of course, Shao Shuaijun kept a secret for the time being as to how the bridegroom would appear.
Relatives and friends all picked up the villa area in Half Moon Bay, and everything was ready.
The next day, the wedding officially began.
The Royal Ceremonial Band, the helicopter aerial photography team, the extended red flag car transported by the plane, the specially invited Kawai Ahao church priest, the top private customized Cartier diamond ring… Anyway, Shao Shuaijun chose not the best, or the best Dear.
The extended red flag car drove Li Xiuxiu slowly along the hillside onto the peninsula. At the intersection, the driver of the red flag car suddenly stopped and saw bands of bands standing on both sides of the road. With a rapid electronic sound, the band began to play in an instant, playing the “China-Style” accompanying music.
Then, from the far lawn, a large group of people danced on horseback and came to the road. The leader is impressively Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun wears a groom’s outfit and a white suit, handsome and unrestrained. This dance group, all male guests, Huang Bo, Xu Zeng, Deng Chao, Chen Xi, Wen Yi, etc. began to dance on horseback with music in the open space.
There is another helicopter with a huge screen dangling, on which the MV of “China-Style” is playing.
The MV in the sky is playing, everyone is dancing on the ground, and Shao Shuaijun is also holding a microphone. Following the crowd, gently twisted his body.
“I’m China-Style, China-Style. There is only one dance at my grand wedding…”
“I’m a man. The kind of man who rides across the mountains by himself…I am a man.”
When the MV’s singing reached the chorus stage, Shao Shuaijun sang loudly: “So beautiful, so charming. That’s right, hey, that’s right, it’s you, hey. So beautiful and so charming. That’s right, it’s you, hey, that’s right it’s you , Hey. Let’s go together from now on to the old days! Let’s go China-Style, China-Style. Let’s go China-Style, China-Style. Let’s go China-Style, cute girl. Let’s go China-Style, cute girl.”
The scene was full of excitement. Whether adults or children, they all moved their bodies to the melody and dance of “China-Style”. Li Xiuxiu’s sisters laughed loudly and booed in the car.
In the sound of music, Shao Shuaijun handed the microphone to Huang Bo, and walked slowly toward the red flag car.
Li Xiuxiu, who was bright and moving in the car, like a fairy, and tears of happiness came down, took the car, arm in arm, and walked towards the altar built on the lawn. Followed by the flower girl holding flowers, the ring boy holding the ring, and the child holding the candle, followed by the invited parents and friends.
Under the auspices of the pastor, during the melodious wedding music, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu said “I do” face to face, and then it was the turn to exchange rings.
“Now ask Mr. Shao Shuaijun to put the ring on the bride’s hand. Mr. Shao Shuaijun, please repeat with me…” the pastor said solemnly.
Shao Shuaijun put the prepared ring on Li Xiuxiu’s left ring finger, and solemnly said: “You are my life, my love, and my best friend. I married you today. This ring will always prove my love to you. My dear love and my solemn promise to you today.”
“Now ask Miss Li Xiuxiu to put the ring on the groom’s hand. Miss Li Xiuxiu, please repeat with me…” the priest said solemnly.
Li Xiuxiu solemnly said: “You are my life, my love, and my best friend. I marry you today as my wife. This ring will forever confirm my love for you and my solemn promise to you today.”
The priest smiled: “Now, Mr. Shao Shuaijun, you can kiss your bride. From now on, you will no longer be drenched by the damp and cold rain, because you have become a shelter for each other…”
In the priest’s message, Shao Shuaijun gently kissed Li Xiuxiu’s lips.
“Now please allow me to introduce to everyone: this is Mr. Shao Shuaijun and his wife, Ms. Li Xiuxiu, let us bless them together.”
Amid the applause and the music, the blessing was deep.
From now on, there is no longer loneliness.
From now on, you are still two people, but only one life. I only hope that your days will be beautiful every day until the earth is long and long… (to be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
