Director’s Legend - Chapter 345
“A doomsday love story with excellent rhythm and excellent director performance. It also has an excellent sense of humor, romance and optimism.”-“Hollywood Entertainment Report”.
“The fusion of the horror popcorn film and the romance movie brings a fresh breath to both styles.”-“Los Angeles Times”.
“Trying to become the “Twilight” in the zombie film, although the format is small, it can be called a story between the zombie Romeo and the living Juliet.”-“Variety”.
“Warm Corpse” has won a good box office while also establishing a good reputation. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 77, which represents mainstream Hollywood film critics, and has affirmed Gao Zhisheng’s directorship. While performing well on the first weekend, Gao Zhisheng became more and more sulky, took a few leading actors, carried out the next round of publicity, and accepted interviews everywhere.
This style and his master Shao Shuaijun are simply the difference between heaven and earth. I have to say that under Gao Zhisheng’s round of propaganda. From October 8th to 10th, the second weekend, “Warm Corpse” won 16.35 million US dollars and won the championship again, making the well-known “Social Network” second place twice.
And Stallone’s “The Expendables” reached the end of the box office this week, winning $2.1 million. While deciding to draw next week, it was also announced that the performance of “The Expendables” in North America had successfully exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. At the same time, the results of successive overseas releases also received 100 million U.S. dollars. In the release period for some time, It is not an extravagant wish to exceed $250 million.
Summit Entertainment immediately held a press conference with Stallone to announce the launch of “The Expendables 2”, still starring Stallone, who is in his sixties, and invited a large circle of action superstars, but Stallone said at the press conference that he would give up directing “The Expendables 2” “Because it’s too tired to be a director and an actor.
From October 15th to 17th, “Funny Funny Show 3D” grabbed $50 million in the box office and became the champion. “The Warm Corpse”, as always, surpassed expectations, with a good result of 10 million U.S. dollars. The total box office in North America has already reached 60 million U.S. dollars, and it completed the movie’s box office task ahead of schedule.
“I don’t think I’m successful yet.” In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Gao Zhisheng said modestly about the perfect debut of his debut. “The Warm Corpse was directed by Director Shao, and the script was also passed through. Audited by Director Shao, it is nothing to achieve such results. For me, I have gained a lot of valuable experience from the film. It is my biggest gain to be able to verify the things that Director Shao gave me one by one.”
A domestic reporter asked Gao Zhisheng that he has become another representative of Chinese directors breaking into Hollywood. What do you want to say to domestic directors who are still struggling?
Gao Zhisheng jokingly said: “I think the first thing to do is to ask for a teacher from Director Shao Shuaijun and learn from it.”
After this sentence was passed back to China, Gao Zhisheng was immediately criticized by the Chinese filmmakers, calling Gao Zhisheng shameless in order to flatter, and arrogantly turned black and white. Filmmakers will naturally not admit that a young guy like Shao Shuaijun can be a guide for Chinese directors to go out.
However, domestic netizens were overwhelmed with joy and left messages, giving Shao Shuaijun the title of “national teacher” and the teacher of domestic directors.
Shao Shuaijun didn’t know the noise. He is now participating in the 19th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 30th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award. Since the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers were divided, these two awards have been held every other year. What’s weak is that many movies from 2 years ago were selected. It is difficult to invite big-name stars to show for a movie from 2 years ago. It is said that Golden Rooster and Baihua have become second-rate awards.
Of course, there are no first-class awards in the entire Chinese film circle.
Shao Shuaijun came today. It was an enthusiastic invitation from the organizer. As we all know, domestic awards are given when they come. Shao Shuaijun is almost certain to win. Secondly, he is also not busy. In other words, it is also an award for Chinese-language movies. Whether it is to support the table, Shao Shuaijun, an entertainment oligarch, is here. Other big and small stars are embarrassed to be absent?
Therefore, the award ceremony held in the county-level city this year is very shining.
The film festival started on the 12th. Shao Shuaijun showed his face at the beginning, and when he appeared again, it was the awards ceremony on the 16th.
The Hundred Flowers Award is an award selected by the public. Netizens select shortlisted films. Among them, “Old Boy” almost won the first place in the nomination with an undisputed number of votes.
Nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, Zhen Zhen (playing Hao Fang) defeated the second-placed Xu Jian 93223 votes with 150654 votes. It is worth mentioning that the popular spring brother only had 79035 box office.
Nominated for Best Supporting Actress, “Old Boy” did not contest, Wang Jia won the first place, he and Xu Jian are both actors in the main theme “The Earth Shaking”.
Nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Xu Ying defeated Li Youbin with 190,473 votes at the box office of 259,877. Li Youbin is also an actor in “The Earth Shaking”.
Nominated for Best Actress, Liu Shishi defeated Zhao Wei with 154,264 votes by 143,346 votes.
Nominated for best actor, Huang Bo defeated Zhang Guoli with 356,421 votes with 195,923 votes.
Nominated for the best director, Shao Shuaijun defeated Feng Xiaogang with 310,021 votes by 140,877 votes.
Nominated for Best Picture, “Old Boy” defeated “The Founding of a Country” with 489,756 votes and 258,962 votes.
At the awards ceremony, 101 public judges on the scene will select the winning films in due course.
Adhering to the consistent urination of domestic fruit, “Old Boy” only won one award, the best director award. Shao Shuaijun came to the stage and said two thanks in an official tone, and then hurriedly stepped down. Although he wanted to support domestic awards as better as possible, he still felt ashamed after taking the stage, especially when he knew everything well.
This year’s best film did not have a double yolk egg, and was awarded to “The Founding of a Country”, but there are two outstanding feature films, “Old Boy” and “Shocking Earth”. For excellent feature films, Shao Shuaijun didn’t bother to take the stage, and let the producers who came with him sloppy up to accept the award.
In the evening, the organizers and the county-level city government invited Shao Shuaijun to a dinner. Shao Shuaijun went straight away under the pretext that something happened. To be honest, he had the mentality of coming for fun before, and all the troubles in it were clouds. After really taking the stage, he slipped a circle of monkeys, which was indescribable.
Might as well go home early to accompany his wife.
Throughout October, it was spent in such a flat atmosphere. The revised script of “Night Watcher” has been put on the agenda, and will be officially launched in January next year. Now Louis Leinard has begun to prepare the crew and schedule. Because Jack Gyllenhill, the star of “Night Watcher”, is starring in “Thor”, the schedule has to be staggered.
On November 4, 2010, “Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows” premiered at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, and on the same day, “Painted Skin 2” premiered at Dreamcatcher Hong Kong flagship studios. Also on this day, “Forbes” released the 2010 list of the most powerful people in the world.
The celebrities on the list include film and television actors, directors, producers, singers, models, writers, athletes and social celebrities. The list is based on each person’s annual total income, online ranking, media ranking, TV/radio ranking and social influence, etc. Comprehensive ranking in all aspects. The list was first released in 1999 and is selected annually thereafter.
Shao Shuaijun made this list for the first time at the age of 24. He is ranked 66th and is the youngest among the top 100 candidates on this list. His age and power make Shao Shuaijun particularly dazzling. He and the 26-year-old Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who is 40th on the list, are also the only post-80s selected.
Among the young generation, Shao Shuaijun is definitely the most dazzling one in the world. Mark Zuckerberg influences people’s lives through online communities. Shao Shuaijun’s companies also operate online communities. At least in China, the time community occupies a dominant position. Facebook can’t get in at all. At the same time, Shao Shuaijun’s twitter and time bib are about to become the world’s bib dominant.
Coupled with the extremely dazzling director’s halo, there are definitely many people in this world who don’t know Zuckerberg, and probably not many people who don’t know Shao Shuaijun. Even President Hu, who is the number one in power this year, is far less famous than Shao Shuaijun. You know, many popular movies produced by Summit Entertainment have Shao Shuaijun’s name printed on the producer.
Of course, after this list came out, it had little impact on Shao Shuaijun, and there were not many media reports. Shao Shuaijun had too many auras on his head. Everyone had been visually fatigued after years of fatigue bombing.
From November 5th to 7th, a weekend ends. “Detective Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows” won the North American box office of $40.1 million. Although it won the championship, this sequel dropped a lot from the first 60 million box office. In the production of Hollywood series, the sequel is often the highest at the box office. Daifuku 2 is a bad start. Whether the third part can be launched now depends on the overseas box office.
Compared with the downturn of Daifuku 2, the opening of “Painted Skin 2” can be described as stunning!
In the three days it was released, it achieved a super box office of 298.2 million yuan. This kind of opening result is more ferocious than “To Youth” directed by Zhao Wei, and “Painted Skin 2” has a very good reputation. This result, combined with the unsatisfactory performance of Taifook 2 North America, made Summit Entertainment decided to advance the North American release schedule of “Painted Skin 2” to late November.
From November 12th to 14th, the momentum of “Detective Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows” in North America still failed to rise. It only got $17.8 million, and even the championship was let out. Two weeks later, the total box office was only 79 million. Dollar. This made Hollywood’s major film companies a little relieved. Summit Entertainment has gone crazy this year, and if it goes crazy, it won’t let others survive.
However, Summit Entertainment was also relieved that the momentum of Daifuku 2 overseas suddenly broke out. This week and last week, a total of 130 million U.S. dollars was obtained, and the total box office exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars. It has already been guaranteed. The problem is to earn more and earn less.
The box office of “Painted Skin 2” this week is still amazing. 228.45 million yuan continues to laugh at the mainland box office list. Two weeks later, it has already reached 52.65 million yuan. In addition, the total box office has reached 665.28 million yuan with the 142.63 million yuan from overseas.
According to the latest exchange rate, 1:6.6417, the box office of “Painted Skin 2” has exceeded 100 million US dollars!
The box office champion of Chinese-language movies in 2010 can basically be declared as “Painted Skin 2”! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
