Director’s Legend - Chapter 382

Tonight’s Oscar, Shao Shuaijun and his wife entered the arena as bystanders.

Last year, he directed “The Avengers”, which only won the best photography nomination, and three of the five nominations were from the company, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “The Fantasy Drift of the Boy Pie”, it is simply Live cannibalism. Fortunately, this time, Peak Entertainment’s betting film “The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie” achieved good results.

Won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Art Direction, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Mixing, Best Visual Effects, Best Song, Best There are 11 nominations for good soundtrack, second only to 12 nominations for “Lincoln”.

In the end result, “The Fantasy Drifting of Youth Pie” won four awards, namely Best Photography, Best Visual Effects, Best Soundtrack and Best Director, becoming the biggest winner tonight.

Li Yu smiled shyly holding the trophy: “Thank you, thank you’God of Film’, and thank the more than 3000 colleagues who worked with me. I want to share this award with you. Thank you for believing in this story. Thank you. Share this journey with me. Thanks to Yang Martel for his incomparable original novel, thanks to Summit Entertainment and Jiahe Entertainment, and thanks to the producer Shao Shuaijun, who gave me too much help. Played the boy Su in the movie La Sharma, your performance is incredible, and all the actors, but I can’t thank you one by one in a limited time. You all have a golden figure in my heart. Thank you for your work in China, the United States, India and Canada. Staff, thank my wife, this summer is the 30th anniversary of our marriage, I love you. Thank you my sons, thank you for your support… Thank you for your support of this movie. Finally, thank you Oscar Academy, thank you .”

Shao Shuaijun applauded in the audience and said to Li Xiuxiu: “You wait, one day I will also get the best director’s golden figure, and then stand on it and say’I love you’.”

Li Xiuxiu said with a smile, “Then say so, I look forward to that day.”

“If the elders say something, the spilled water cannot be recovered!”

The Oscars ended in joy, followed by a dinner hosted by the Governor of California. Originally, Shao Shuaijun never attended such gatherings. This time I brought Li Xiuxiu, and I came to lively and lively. After all, I have been in California for these years, and I can’t always lose face to the governor.

Early in the morning, it was determined that Shao Shuaijun and his wife would come to the dinner. The governor immediately felt full of face, and arranged Shao Shuaijun by his side. The dishes on the table were designed by the star chef Parker himself, and many Chinese-style dishes were designed to show respect for Shao Shuaijun and his wife.

Before the dinner, “Vanity Fair” magazine will also interview the winners. Shao Shuaijun did not win the award, but he was caught in the interview. To let Li Xiuxiu and Mitchell’s wife and others enter the field, Shao Shuaijun accepted an interview with Bob Coracello, an interview reporter for Vanity Fair.

“Director Shao, it’s rare to see you attend the Oscar dinner today. Is it because the dishes suit your tastes that make you stay?”

Shao Shuaijun smiled and said: “Maybe, I was always embarrassed to come here to eat and drink before, because I have participated in so many Oscars and I haven’t given me any decent personal awards.”

“Dor Shao was disappointed that he didn’t win the prize?”

“I can’t talk about disappointment. After all, most of the films I made before were commercial films. I didn’t explore the humanities in depth. The Oscar talks about art. It is normal not to give me awards. “Avatar” is so successful. Mellon also didn’t get the Golden Man. As a technical commercial director, it’s not outrageous that I don’t win awards. Of course, there are always some knots in my heart because I haven’t even got a nomination for best director. Nolan is very tragic, business is good enough, Oscar has always stayed away.”

“But you, Cameron and Nolan, in the technology awards, you have already gotten your hands soft, haven’t you? You are not only commercial directors, but also technical directors. Cameron has a deep research in 3D and other high-tech technologies. Nolan is also very good in retro technology, and you have gathered all kinds of film technology. I can ask why your team has such a crazy pursuit of technology? If you put your energy into humanities and arts, you will win It shouldn’t be difficult.”

Shao Shuaijun laughed: “I like technology, technology can make people crazy. The retro photography in “Inception” is amazing. The IMAX-3D technology of “Avatar” is also enough to shock the world. “Rise of the Apes” The facial expression capture technology in China is enough to create different species with fake and real ones. It is difficult for filmmakers in the last century to imagine how much technology has changed the film. There were pictures in their minds but they didn’t dare to imagine because they couldn’t do it. Come out. Now we can make it, I’m afraid that we can’t think of a better picture in our mind. Challenge the audience’s visual endurance time and time again, don’t you think this is a very interesting thing? Hear them shouting in the cinema Yeah, it feels better than winning the prize.”

“This is indeed very exciting. So, after the “Avengers” got 1.67 billion US dollars in the box office, your commercial achievements are already the world’s top, did you not expect to also develop in the humanistic direction? Nolan’s The Dark Knight series has both profound humanistic connotations? Your “Night Watcher: Reflection” is also very profound, why not continue?”

“I have also thought about making some more profound movies. It’s just a matter of schedule. I didn’t intend to direct “Iron Man 3″. I now want to go back to Chinese movies and polish a few good Chinese movies. I hope to show China’s five thousand years of long history and accumulated brilliant culture to the world. But, to be honest, there are too many constraints. The Marvel Cinematic Universe plans I want to produce, and I want to produce the four major fantasy series, these two The work is huge, enough to involve most of my energy. I have to set aside time to be with my family. In other words, in the past few years, I am afraid I don’t have so much energy to polish a work that is too profound. the film.”

“I found that your achievements as a producer are also brilliant. First, “Slumdog Millionaire” won the best film, and then “The Fantastic Drifting of the Junior School” is also the dazzling film of this year’s Oscar, and there is also a Chinese The film has become the box office champion in China. Will you move more toward production in the future?”

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: “I’m not sure, but I prefer to make movies by myself.”

“You are going to install a star that belongs to you on the Avenue of Stars in a few days, and you have to leave handprints and footprints. Are you in a good mood now?”

“of course.”

“Iron Man 3 is about to be released. Do you have anything to say to the audience?”

Shao Shuaijun smiled and said, “Well, those who are rich are holding a money field, and those who are rich are holding a personal field?”

“Haha, I am very happy that Director Shao accepted the interview with Vanity Fair. It was a pleasure to chat with you. I dare not delay your meal practice any more, thank you.” Bob Coracello smiled and stretched out his hand.

Shao Shuaijun shook his hand before entering the restaurant.

I wanted to find someone to ask where Li Xiuxiu was, but there was no need for that. I raised my eyes and saw a group of people all around and flattering like stars, but it was not Li Xiuxiu. Li Xiuxiu’s influence in the Hollywood entertainment circle is definitely on the same level as the “Hollywood Emperor” Weinstein brothers.

The Weinstein brothers have a wide network and high reputation. Among them, Harvey Weinstein has the reputation of “the saver of modern movies”. Li Xiuxiu is purely wealthy and has status. Its Summit Entertainment dominates the world, and Jiahe Entertainment monopolizes the Chinese entertainment circle. The star does not want to flatter.

The same was true for Shao Shuaijun, when they walked in, everyone gathered around, greeted them, and flattered. Needless to say, those who are familiar immediately start talking, and those who are unfamiliar also pretend to be very familiar.

“Shao, welcome.” California Governor Jerry Brown greeted Shao Shuaijun with a smile.

Although Shao Shuaijun didn’t come to the dinner party because of the lack of face, but in private, he did not eat and drink less with Shao Shuaijun. Business and politics have always been linked together. Summit Entertainment needs the support of the California government, and Jerry Brown also needs the support of Summit Entertainment. The connection is very close.

“Jerry, when is the meal? I’m already hungry.” Shao Shuaijun said directly.

“Immediately, there are still some celebrities being interviewed. By the way, let’s go take a seat first. Director Li Yu seems very shy and doesn’t speak much.”

As the best director of the Oscar, Li Yu is of course sitting at the governor’s table like Shao Shuaijun.

After being seated, Shao Shuaijun chatted with Li Yu.

“How do you feel about being the best director?”

Li Yu smirked: “It’s nothing, it’s not that I haven’t taken it.” This is the second time Li Yu has won the best director.

Shao Shuaijun immediately envied and hated: “What is it, I didn’t get the best film.”

“Even if I get the best picture, it’s not me going up to talk. It’s my business.”

“I……”

Shao Shuaijun was speechless: “If I get the best film, I will definitely mention you if I go up to talk, and you will have one less chance of exposure.”

“I don’t need so many exposure opportunities. I am a director and not an actor.”

“Well, I can’t compete with you. By the way, the four major magic series, you have no idea?”

Li Yu said with a smile: “I can make art films, but I’m not sure about making commercial magic films.”

Shao Shuaijun shook his head: “I made these four major magical series. Although they mainly focus on commercial films, commercial films cannot grasp the essence of many historical cultures. We can create a few literary and artistic films to portray this history more profoundly. One point, what do you think?”

“If so, I can think about it.”

“Okay, that’s all. I’ll let the screenwriting department of Golden Harvest Entertainment write two scripts for you.”

After chatting, the interview soon ended, and everyone started eating and drinking. It wasn’t until the middle of the night to eat, that they only dispersed in twos and threes…

Time flies, and soon on March 1, Shao Shuaijun’s star award ceremony and handprint ceremony are about to begin. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
