Director’s Legend

The gates of major theaters in the United States, Hollywood, and China have been fenced up. A huge poster was placed at the front gate, in both Chinese and English, with the words "Shao Shuaijun Hollywood Award Ceremony and Handprint Ceremony". On both sides of the door, there are huge posters of "Iron Man 3".

In front of the poster, it was arranged as the rostrum of the award ceremony.

Early in the morning, countless Chinese tourists gathered at the gate of the Chinese Grand Theater, and countless media professionals, holding microphones or carrying cameras. After eight o'clock in the morning, countless fans came one after another holding the banner of supporting Shao Shuaijun, gathering at the gate of the Grand Theater.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the morning that the leader Shao Shuaijun and his entourage arrived, arousing cheers from fans and the media.

Accompanied by Shao Shuaijun were the governor of California, the mayor of Los Angeles and other government officials, the owners of Hollywood and Chinese film companies, all the actors of "Iron Man 3" and many Hollywood and Chinese-speaking stars. The whole group arrived, and immediately murdered countless films of reporters.

Waved, Shao Shuaijun walked onto the red carpet and accepted his star.

The ceremony was hosted by the mayor of Los Angeles and was broadcast live by the media and TV stations.

The mayor first ranted about Shao Shuaijun's contribution to the film industry, and then it was Shao Shuaijun's turn to express his opinions.

"First of all, I want to thank all the friends who came to this ceremony. You have shown me the passion and friendship. I want to thank the Avenue of Stars Committee, thank the mayor for the praise just now, and thank you for granting me this honor... Thank you to everyone who helped me. We worked together and worked hard together. Only then did we complete one wonderful movie after another, which brought the audience to enjoy. What I want to thank most is my family, my wife and my son, With them by my side, I feel that every day is very fulfilling and happy. I enjoy this kind of life. In the future, I will continue to contribute more good movies and make my due contribution to the world film industry. ,Thank you."

Finished. Shao Shuaijun waved his hand again.

Click. There are countless flashes.

"Shao, you are the best!"

"Shao, we support you."

"Shao Shuaijun. We love you!"

There are Chinese, Americans, and people from various countries. Half of the tourists came to join in the fun. Half of them were **** fans shouting vigorously, the scene was so lively.

After the words of thanks were said, the staff brought Shao Shuaijun’s stars over. Shao Shuaijun opened the red cloth. It was a square terrazzo with a five-pointed star in the middle. In the center of the five-pointed star was a golden camera logo with the words "Shao Shuaijun" written in English.

Shao Shuaijun held the terrazzo, smiled and posed for the reporters to take pictures.

This terrazzo will be inlaid on the sidewalk that turns left directly opposite the Chinese Theater, next to the star of the Lywood superstar Depp. Accept the congratulations from my friend Meng, take a group photo together, the star award ceremony is over, and next is the handprint ceremony. Handing the stars to the staff, Shao Shuaijun, surrounded by everyone, once again boarded the rostrum and gave a speech.

"I just received the stars, and now I am able to leave handprints again. It is a very happy day. For me, being able to receive such an honor is the greatest admiration I have received since I made a film. I have been filming for nearly ten years. , I made a total of 15 movies. Fortunately, most of them have been recognized by everyone. I am very grateful. Today I press my handprint here to represent that I have become a part of the history of movies. How can I say it, I am very excited. I am very excited. I hope that in the future, everyone will continue to support the movies I shoot, such as the current "Iron Man 3", haha."

After the testimony was over, the staff also brought in the props.

A shelf of red blankets, and a piece of special cement, you can kneel on the small red shelf when you leave your handprints without staining your clothes. First I took a small stick, and on top of the cement block, Long Feifengwu wrote the words "Shao Shuaijun" and the date March 1, 2013.

Then he got down, printed his nose on the cement, and pressed both hands into the cement.

After pressing, Shao Shuaijun took out his hands with a lot of cement and shook them. He smiled brilliantly, and his nose was stained with cement, which looked funny. Fans and tourists outside also laughed.

The staff took a towel, wiped the cement from his nose, and wiped his hands. Shao Shuaijun began to leave footprints, and he stood on the cement. Of course, when he kept his footprints, he was wearing two leather shoes, not so much footprints, but shoe prints. Everything is done and the ceremony is basically over. The rest of the time is spent promoting "Iron Man 3".

"Ajun, congratulations on leaving your name in history!" Jiahe Entertainment CEO Yi Jianmei smiled and applauded.

"Shao, you are the best director." Summit Entertainment CEO Mitchell Bruce also smiled and applauded.

"haha, thank you."

Shao Shuaijun laughed triumphantly.

It's stars and handprints again, don't be too proud.

Kacha, Kacha, the film recorded Shao Shuaijun's spring breeze expression and spread it all over the world.

"Chinese director Shao Shuaijun, renamed Hollywood Walk of Fame!"-"Times".

"Yesterday, Shao Shuaijun, Hollywood's most popular director at the box office, accepted his 2521st star on the Avenue of Stars in front of the Chinese Theater and left three prints of his hand, footprint and nose. At the ceremony, the Governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles, as well as many entertainment industry executives and big stars came to join in."-"Hollywood Entertainment Report".

"Shao Shuaijun left his name in Hollywood and became the first person in the mainland to receive this honor."-"Beijing Entertainment Letter".

"The handprint ceremony helped propagandize "Iron Man 3", and Shao Shuaijun became the first Chinese famous guide."-"Yangcheng Evening News".

Along with Shao Shuaijun’s stars and handprints, the publicity of "Iron Man 3" is also overwhelming. As the first film in the second stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the attention of the outside world to "Iron Man 3" is very high. Several previews The click-through rate of the film on the Internet has soared.

However, after the Oscar and the handprint ceremony, Shao Shuaijun stayed away from the hustle and bustle in the media and started his own normal work, supervising the four major magic series and the Marvel movie universe project. "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" has been produced, and the schedule is set for June. It will be released simultaneously in 39 regions around the world.

Chinese-language films have had little influence overseas in these years. The mainland box office of "Thailand", which was released a year ago, went crazy in the mainland. As a result, when I went overseas, I was dissatisfied and hardly won any box office. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has also set a height of 1.2 billion yuan in the mainland, but it has also been so-so overseas, with little improvement.

In recent years, the achievements of Chinese films overseas are only those of Shao Shuaijun's Chinese films, which have won good box office. Other directors are basically silent.

This time, the four major fantasy series can be released simultaneously in 39 countries and regions. It is not because of the confidence in the film, but the reputation of Shao Shuaijun. Back then, Shao Shuaijun was able to create the magic storm of "Painted Skin". This time in a magic movie, others are willing to believe in the golden sign produced by Shao Shuaijun.

...

On April 6, 2013, "Iron Man 3" came to the capital to hold the world premiere. The main creators were Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pierce, Ben Kingsley and others. , And Shao Shuaijun, attended the premiere together. This time I came to China for the premiere, not because the director Shao Shuaijun is Chinese or the production company has a Chinese background.

Simply, I want to come to China to make money.

China has already surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest ticket warehouse. It is not unusual for a single film to exceed 100 million US dollars. With such a large ticket warehouse, Hollywood is now scrambling to squeeze into China. What co-productions, what co-productions, what special offers, and how to please Chinese audiences.

"Iron Man 3" changed its director because the original director Shane Black was unwilling to please the Chinese audience and insisted on using the Mandarin as an evil **oss. This led to Kevin Feige's anger and his Copy it. Originally, Kevin also wanted Shao Shuaijun to add some Chinese actors in, and even took a few shots to make a special edition that only Chinese audiences can see.

Shao Shuaijun refused without even thinking about it. This movie is directed by him, and it is attractive enough in China, there is no need to superfluous. Get a few Chinese actors, the Chinese audience will really buy it? Chinese audiences are not fools. If you shoot well, you will naturally want to watch it. If you don't shoot well, no Chinese actors will watch it.

"Because Shao is Chinese, I like Chinese culture more and more, including martial arts, Chinese medicine, and movies. If I have time, I can name three hundred Chinese movies." Robert Downey Jr. is in the news The press conference said, "Shao is a very contagious person. His talent is flying and he is always able to solve problems simply. This time I come to China and I am very excited. I really want to know where Shao grew up. What's it like, but Shao didn't plan to take me to his hometown."

"Donny is not my wife. People will laugh at me if you take him back." Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.

The reporter asked about the novelty of Downey’s sequel. Downey said: “I’m a professional actor. Of course, there must be some fresh elements in the sequel to attract me. For example, many superheroes are bachelors, but Tony Star Ke has a long-term female partner. I think this is very cool."

Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays the heroine Little Pepper, added: “Iron Man 3 is not just a very male movie. There are some very romantic scenes in it that will attract female audiences. Director Shao The romantic tricks are really powerful. I really envy Li Xiuxiu for having such a good man."

"Am I not good enough?" Downey interjected.

Gwyneth gave Downey a white look: "As the famous Iron Man, he still needs his girlfriend to save him. Do you think you are good enough?"

"Wow, maybe, I just give you a chance to be a hero."

Talking and laughing satisfies the entertaining nature of the press conference. The main creative staff left the press conference and entered the Jiahe cbd flagship theater. (To be continued...)
