Director’s Legend

ps: The third update today.

In fact, after scolding, Shao Shuaijun also regretted it a little. How to say it is one of the highest awards in Chinese movies. He can have resentment, and he shouldn't be scolded, and he still refuses first. Sometimes Shao Shuaijun himself would ask himself what happened in the past half a year. He who used to be humble and disappeared, now he acts impulsively and recklessly.

In the crew, he is more and more unable to tolerate different voices, because of different opinions on the plot, and even had a few quarrels with the deputy director Josh McGrallen, and then he did exactly what he wanted.

"How could this happen, am I really crazy now, am I really impetuous!"

After watching the latest samples of "Nightman", Shao Shuaijun didn’t know what to do, his chest was blocked: "No, no, the movie is so wonderful, the scene is so hot, and it was shot by imax. No, I will succeed. , Stop everyone's mouth!"

After leaving the screening room and returning to the office, Shao Shuaijun wanted to work hard to recover his state, but the uncomfortable feeling seemed to come from all four limbs, making him want to roar, but he somehow opened his mouth.

At this time the phone rang, and it was Li Xiuxiu calling from China.

"Hey, A Jun, have you scolded the Golden Statue Award?"

"Yes."

"Why scold them? If you don’t want to participate, don’t go there. There is no need to scold you. Now it’s fine. The entire Chinese film circle is condemning you, especially the treasure island and Hong Kong film circles. I just got the news. "Painted Skin" has been excluded from the selection of the film by the Academy Awards."

"So what!" Shao Shuaijun was angry. "Shit awards, holding unintelligible art all day as an elegant, self-righteous group of people, my movie disdains to be criticized with them!"

"Hey, what is your attitude, A Jun, you have been in the entertainment industry for three years, and there are some things you don't want to be so sharp. The Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards still have merits..."

"Sister Xiuxiu, do you think I am not worthy of the prize, right? I am not worthy! I will tell the world now. Shao Shuaijun is not worthy to participate in the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Statue Award. I will not participate in these two awards in the future! forever and always!"

"Ajun!" Li Xiuxiu's voice on the other side of the phone suddenly rose up, "Can you understand something, can you think about it quietly. Do you know. Your parents and sisters, I and I are very worried about you. From After the Golden Horse Awards. No, after you decided to shoot "The Night Watcher", did you take the initiative to call back? Did you take the initiative to tell us about the movie? We only know from the newspapers. What did you do today? You always told me before, how about the movie you want to make, even though I don’t know it very well. Now? Is "The Night Watcher" a hero movie or a horror movie? Should I keep it secret?"

"I..." Shao Shuaijun was silent.

"Don't be impulsive, Ajun, tomorrow I will go to the United States to accompany you, quietly waiting for the movie to be released, don't pay attention to other things, okay."

After a long while, Shao Shuaijun said softly: "Okay."

...

Shao Shuaijun didn't know how he was scolded outside, and he didn't even know what happened outside.

In Santa Monica, stay quiet.

Li Xiuxiu occasionally came to accompany him, and then he was alone in torment waiting for the release of "The Night Watcher". The schedule has been arranged. On the last weekend of May, 3,045 theaters across the United States will be released, and 69 commercial imax theaters across the United States will simultaneously release the imax version.

At the same time, it will be screened simultaneously in Southeast Asia, and then land in Korea, Japan, China, Europe and other places one after another. It was originally planned to be released simultaneously in China, but the review of "The Night Watcher" had a problem, too much blood and violence. In the United States, the rating is r. Children under the age of 17 need to be accompanied by parents. Naturally, the mainland needs to cut some shots.

In fact, there have been several internal premieres before, and the response has been average. Everyone's comment is that it is not as stunning as "Painted Skin".

On May 25th, "The Night Watcher" was officially released in North America.

Li Xiuxiu accompanied Shao Shuaijun, mixed in the crowd, and entered the cinema, not the imax cinema, but the ordinary cinema.

Shao Shuaijun watched very quietly.

Seldom speak.

Li Xiuxiu tried hard to speak with him, but he just responded with "um" and "ah", without any energy.

From the beginning of the movie, the noisy sound of the movie theater has never stopped, the sound of snacks, the sound of whispers, the sound of sex, and occasionally one or two "cool" and "wow" sounds. But more are "dog shit", "what does this mean", and "inexplicable" curses.

And the imax lens that Shao Shuaijun placed high hopes on does not have much effect at all in ordinary theaters. The audience is only interested in fighting. And what Shao Shuaijun tried to say, procedural justice and moral justice, was completely ignored.

"It was very good, but, Jim, do you understand what the movie is talking about? Is this Thomas a fool? Or is the director a fool?" asked an audience member in the back row in confusion.

"Oh, really, I just fell asleep." The man calling Jim just woke up.

The sound was particularly harsh in Shao Shuaijun's ears.

Li Xiuxiu carefully looked at Shao Shuaijun's face, and Cang appeared extraordinarily pale under the dim light of the big screen. Leaning on the seat, looking at the screen attentively or distractedly, sweat slowly slid down the sideburns.

"A Jun, do you want to go out first to get some ventilation?" Li Xiuxiu took out a tissue and wiped off Shao Shuaijun's sweat.

"Read it."

At the end of the movie, the audience dispersed one by one in cursing.

Only a few couples who are kissing passionately are still kissing.

And Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu sat quietly.

When the last subtitle on the big screen rises, it goes out suddenly.

"Let's go." Shao Shuaijun wanted to say these two words easily, but when the words came to his lips, he was hoarse as if two wooden boards were rubbing.

On the streets at night, the hot temperature has not yet dissipated, and there are many pedestrians wearing short-sleeved t-shirts strolling in the streets. Shao Shuaijun doesn't know what he feels now. Since the film was completed, he has fallen into a state of emptiness. In this movie tonight, the audience's reaction is the reaction of everyone at the internal premiere a few days ago.

He really wanted to take this reaction as a criticism of him. Unfortunately, these ordinary viewers didn't know him. They just came to enjoy a commercial blockbuster that claimed to be the first to be shot with imax. The result was disappointing, the film did not leave applause and praise.

Those who have seen it leave a curse or two, and then leave in a hurry.

"Sister Xiuxiu, isn't Chasing Dream Jiahe preparing to issue additional stocks? I feel that trouble is coming. Go back to the company and sit down." Shao Shuaijun said hoarsely.

Li Xiuxiu gently took Shao Shuaijun's arm: "No, I will accompany you."

"It's okay, you go back, I want to go to the cinema to watch it again."

"I'll be with you." Li Xiuxiu insisted.

Shao Shuaijun raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling the heat in his eye sockets, and then he was forced back.

"Good." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
