Director’s Legend

In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China topped the list with 51 gold medals, which ended perfectly. And Shao Shuaijun's busy schedule is about to begin. After studying the shooting progress of "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan", Ning Hao and others rushed to the United States with "No Man's Land".

"No Man's Land" will be screened on a small scale in North America, to test the response, and then gradually expand the screening scale. The North American Chinese circle is the highlight of "No Man's Land". After arriving in the United States, Summit Entertainment deployed a team to run "No Man's Land". With more staff in the company, we started to release "500 Days with Summer".

The schedule has been confirmed. It will be released in North America on Friday, September 5th, and will be released in North America overseas. One day in advance, on September 4, the premiere will be held at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

"Hey, Sister Bing, on September 4, the premiere of my movie "500 Days with Summer", be sure to come and participate." Starting from September 1, Shao Shuaijun was calling to invite guests to attend.

Li Bingbing's voice came from the other end: "I'm not a big-name star, why do you want me to attend, do American audiences know me?"

"Come, be sure to come, I have invited a lot of friends, everyone have fun."

"Ok."

After hanging up Li Bingbing's phone, Shao Shuaijun called Liu Sanxi again: "Brother Xi, you and your sister-in-law come over to attend the premiere of my movie."

"To the United States?"

"Yes, I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes, and by the way, help me inform Anan, Sishui and Zebra." After Shao Shuaijun notified the arrival, he made a sloppy call, "Hey, sloppy, September 4th, my movie Don't forget the premiere."

"One study... Yes, the movie premiere, you must come, okay, waiting for you."

"Xiaogang, you are with Gao Zhisheng, and Li Fangfang. Just so, I won't notify them one by one. On September 4th, I must come to the premiere of my movie."

"Sister Mei..."

"Sister Wang..."

Shao Shuaijun called one by one, and the company's executives and old brothers who had filmed before were notified. Then I started calling Wen Zhang: "Wen Zhang, my movie premiere, September 4th, yes, come."

Then came Liu Shishi: "Liu Shishi, who do you think I am, Shao Shuaijun... Yes, September 4."

Then Fan Bingbing, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun and other well-connected old acquaintances in the entertainment circle were also notified one by one. After a pause, Shao Shuaijun called Liu Yifei again: "Cici, this is Shao Shuaijun. On September 4th, the premiere of my movie "500 Days with Summer", please come and participate.

"Okay."

"That's OK, that's it, I have to inform others." Shao Shuaijun shook his head and smiled after hanging up the phone, and threw away some inexplicable things. He and Liu Yifei now have only friends, and they are drifting away, and they haven't even been in contact for a long time.

Domestic entertainment artists, Shao Shuaijun felt that the relationship was good, so he notified them. No matter who it was, there was no rejection of Shao Shuaijun's invitation. Then he called Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wu Kebo and other film industry executives. And the second generation of several officials in Beijing.

After all, Shao Shuaijun started contacting familiar directors again. Zhang Yimou, Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke, Bai Jifei, etc. Finally, there are friends from the entertainment circle in North America, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Gyllenhill, Alan Page, etc.

Recently Li Yu was also studying movies in Hollywood, and Shao Shuaijun also fought in the past and invited Li Yu to come and join him. Eucalyptus Li was very talkative and agreed immediately.

After spending a whole day or two, Shao Shuaijun was busy calling.

Then he called the creator of the "500 Days with Summer", while drinking coffee, he said: "Gordon, Scarlett... you all know, wait until the end of the movie the easter eggs appear. How should each cooperate? , Be sure to remember, don’t make mistakes for me."

Gordon patted his chest: "Don't worry, director, as an actor, you can be a piece of cake, don't worry."

"Where are you Scarlett?" Shao Shuaijun looked at Scarlett viciously.

Scarlett pouted: "Well, I must cooperate perfectly."

"That's good. As long as the show is successful, "500 Days with Summer" will make a profit at the box office, and your red envelopes will definitely not be less."

"There are red envelopes and motivation, the director can rest assured!"

Everything is ready, September 4th is here.

In the morning, Shao Shuaijun drove to the airport to pick up Li Xiuxiu.

After a big hug, Li Xiuxiu hurriedly asked: "A Jun, is there any significance in this movie? You called a lot of friends over to attend the premiere?"

Shao Shuaijun laughed and said, "The main reason is to invite everyone to come and gather together. Let’s get inspired. I just think about the friends I met along the way. They don’t have time to get together, eat well, and watch a movie. It’s a pity. It’s just by this movie premiere that everyone gets together and enjoys it."

"It's very interesting, let's go, I'm going to have a good night's sleep, and then go to the movies in the evening, and we will eat after watching the movies. What do we eat? With so many people, Western food must not be eaten, and it is better to return to China to eat hot pot. Eat, um, let's have a pool party, don't all Americans like to hold parties?" Li Xiuxiu began planning the evening show.

"It's up to you."

Time passed bit by bit, and in the afternoon, the premiere of the movie began. Those in the non-entertainment circle entered the cinema early, while those in the entertainment circle were busy walking the red carpet.

Shao Shuaijun is no longer a rookie in Hollywood. It is not an exaggeration to say a great director or an entertainment tycoon. Therefore, many media circles come, and the red carpet is even more star-studded.

The red-hot Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Gyllenhill, the star of tomorrow, Alan Page, the new generation of **** goddess Scarlett Johansson, the Hollywood Chinese superstar Zhou Runfa, etc., These are all stars who have worked with Shao Shuaijun.

When he appeared on the stage, he immediately attracted a burst of flashlight and reporters' pursuit.

Then Channing Tatum and Jenna Diwan, the actor in "Dancing Out of My Life", walked on the red carpet arm in arm. "Dancing Out of My Life 2" the male lead actor Cen Yongkang and the female lead actor Brian Yin Weigen also joined hands on the red carpet.

When "Twilight" actor Robert Pattinson and female protagonist Kristen Stewart, these two red and purple new-generation stars walked on the red carpet, and there was a burst of flashes. wave. The "Twilight Saga: New Moon" that has just passed has a global turmoil of 600 million U.S. dollars, and it is still being screened, and at least 100 million U.S. dollars in box office revenue can be expected.

Twilight's other actors, such as Tyler Lautner and Ashley Greene, were also baptized by flash, adding countless brilliance to the premiere tonight.

Soon director Anne Fletcher and director Christopher Nolan of "Dancing Out of My Life" also walked on the red carpet together. The director of the dance has a good relationship with Summit Entertainment, and Nolan has a good relationship with Shao Shuaijun, so they all came to join in. Soon afterwards, Catherine Hardwick, the director of Twilight, and Chris Weitz, the director of New Moon, also came together.

During the period, director Zhang Yimou, director Li Yu, director Guy Rich, etc., all attended the premiere and walked on the red carpet.

In the most popular comedy TV series "The Big Bang Theory", the four male protagonists surrounded the heroine and appeared together and murdered a large number of films of reporters. Hollywood stars are far more than the above-mentioned ones. With the relationship network of Summit Entertainment and the relationship network of the old neighbor Lionsgate, there are so many stars.

Not to mention the domestic celebrities. The Hollywood reporters may not be interested in them, but the domestic reporters are very busy. Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Huang Bo, Wen Zhang, Xu Ceng... They are all unknown in Hollywood, but in China they are no worse than anyone tonight.

Regardless of whether the movie is good or not, the red carpet for this premiere is absolutely beautiful.

The appearance of these big directors and celebrities has abolished the film that reporters don't know, and gained a lot. The red carpet for more than an hour finally ended, the door of the cinema slowly closed, as the audience gradually calmed down. The big screen lights up and the movie begins.

The logo of Golden Harvest and Summit Entertainment is over, the name "500 Days with Summer" appears, and the plot slowly unfolds. Starting from the 488th day of the movie, Scarlett’s Summer and Gordon’s Tom are sitting on a bench. Summer’s hand wears a ring and presses it on Tom’s hand.

Narrator: "This is a story about a boy meeting a girl."

Then skip to day 1.

Tom was wearing a sweater and listened listlessly at the meeting. The narration sounded again: "The boy's name is Tom Hanson, from Margate, New Jersey. When he grows up, he believes that he will never be truly happy until he meets someone..."

The screen switches to Summer. She is the front desk, busy answering the phone. Next to him slowly said: "This girl is named Summer Fanny, Shinnecock from Michigan. She never believed this. Since her parents divorced, she has only loved two things. The first is that she is long. The second thing is how to cut it off easily, and then you can’t feel anything..."

"Tom met Summer on January 8. He almost knew who she was looking for... This is a story about a boy meeting a girl. But you should know from the beginning that this is not a love story. ."

After such a narration-style title, the names of the protagonist and creator appear on the screen one by one. In the beautiful singing, two sloppy movie shots are on the left and right sides of the screen, slowly showing the growth of the little boy and the little girl. Finally, the English letters of "Director Shao Shuaijun's work" appeared, and after a few seconds of freezing, the film title ended.

Jump directly to the 290th day, Tom and Summer have broken up. Tom recalled the whole process of the relationship to his friends, and he wanted to continue with Summer. The next plot will not be played according to the complete 500 days, but divided into many scene combinations, the first day, the fourth day, the 154th day, and then jump back to the 11th day, the 27th day, and the 28th day. , And then the 282th day and so on.

With such a very disorderly structure of the story, to restore and interpret, Summer and Tom, from acquaintance to love, to their respective life situations after breaking up, contain various views on love.

Tom believes that there is something called destiny, there is a feeling that can be described as true love, and there is a kind of encounter that is destined to heaven. As if he met Summer, he told himself that this was the love of his life. He pursued Summer's back and approached Summer in a romantic or shy way.

And Summer doesn’t believe in love fairy tales, nor does she believe that two people will be together. For her, being together is just a lot of fun, nothing more. She went to associate with Tom with the idea of ​​happiness, she didn't want to go further.

Tom thought that one day he could take off Summer's defenses, so when Summer took him to her space, Tom naively thought that he loved Summer, and Summer also loved him. However, fantasy is fantasy after all, and in less than a year, anxiety began to spread.

They broke up after all.

In the ensuing time, Tom was distressed and confused, and was still looking forward to getting back to Shamo. Until the 488th day, Tom was in the park, missing the past. Summer came over with the ring someone else had given him. Tom's thoughts about destiny, true love, and destiny collapsed in an instant.

"You don't want to be anyone's girlfriend. As a result, you are now someone's wife." Tom said bitterly and indignantly.

"I was surprised too."

"I think I will never understand, there is no reason for that."

"It just happened."

"This is what I don't understand, what happened?"

Summer smiled and shook his head: "I wake up one day, I will know."

"what do you know?"

"I have never been sure with you."

Tom turned his head, couldn't bear the collapse of the worldview, and even wanted to cry in grief: "Do you know what is bad? It is a bad thing to find that everything you believe is all fantasy!"

"What do you mean?"

"Fate, spiritual partner, true love, nonsense fairy tales, you are right, I should have listened to you."

"No." Summer laughed, "I think it's because... I was in the deli, watching "Portrait of Dorian Gray", and someone came over and asked me about the book. He is now my husband. "

"so what?"

"What if I go to a movie? What if I go somewhere else for lunch? What if I go ten minutes late? It's...it's destined. I keep thinking...Tom is right."

Summer did not believe what Tom believed was destiny. But now Tom didn't believe it, but Summer told him that she believed it.

"No." Tom wanted to deny.

"Yes, really... it's just that you are thinking about me wrong." Summer put her hand on Tom's, and the ring stood out.

At that moment, Summer seemed so far away in Tom's eyes. They bid farewell amicably, and Summer walked away, carrying Tom's unrealistic fantasies, and kept going away.

On the 500th day, Tom picked up his dream, he wanted to become an architect. During the interview at the company, he met another girl who also came to apply. They chatted awkwardly, and then discovered that they knew each other and shared hobbies.

The girl had seen Tom in Angel Square, but Tom had not seen her.

"You must not be paying attention."

The girl's lips smiled slightly.

At that moment, Tom felt that all the innocence and fantasies he had destroyed by Summer had come back again. Nothing was destined by God. You just met the right person at the wrong time, or met the wrong person at the right time. But if you search carefully, you will find that at the right time, there will always be the right person.

No fate, it's all coincidence.

Love is also a coincidence.

Tom invited the girl to drink coffee, and then met again: "It's nice to meet you, my name is Tom."

"I know you very well, my name is autumn."

So, 500 days with summer (summer, meaning summer) passed, and the first day of autumn began. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
