Director’s Legend

The Golden Razzie Award was founded by John-jb-Wilson in 1980, with the purpose of selecting the worst American film of the year, and it is announced the day before the Oscars are announced in February every year. The award originally belonged to fans' spontaneous entertainment awards, but due to its particularity. increasingly attracting public attention. Today, the Golden Raspberry Award has become a selection event with high attention, and has a selection group of nearly 500 people composed of film practitioners, experts, and movie fans.

The Golden Raspberry Award is called razzie-award in English, which cannot be found in general dictionaries. It comes from the word razz, which is a variant of razz (tongue smashing, mocking), and it means the same action. Therefore, as the name suggests, the Golden Raspberry Award is not about praise, but about ridicule. The trophy of the Golden Raspberry Award is just such a mocking berry.

After receiving this year's nomination list, Shao Shuaijun was speechless for a while. "Night Watchman" was nominated for worst picture and worst director, it's a shame. Especially this year's Golden Raspberry hits are the disgustingly disgusting "Norbit" and "Suspicious Murder". Fortunately, Shao Shuaijun has already thought about it, otherwise he would really be ashamed and commit suicide.

"Boss, the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation also sent an invitation letter, hoping that you can attend this Golden Raspberry Award." Wang Cuicui wanted to laugh but dared not.

Shao Shuaijun's face was dark, and he was about to lose his temper when he refused, but for some reason, he swallowed the words again: "Leave it alone, and I will answer whether I will go or not when I think it over."

Shao Shuaijun felt depressed, but the good-natured people took this matter to the fore. Like Huang Bo, Ning Hao and other bad friends. A text message was sent immediately, congratulating Shao Shuaijun on being nominated for an international award. And Wang Zhonglei and others who couldn't eat grapes also called immediately, saying "Congratulations" sourly.

Even the media reported it for the first time.

The New Wolf Entertainment section, the first red title Tuban: "Shao Shuaijun is the first Chinese to be shortlisted for the Golden Raspberry."

Websites such as Sohu, Penguin, and NetEase are also headline reports. Even their own Mtime.com will give a tofu section to report on the situation this time.

Of course, it is not enough to say that these reports are malicious. Because tomorrow is the date when the list of Oscar nominations will be announced. "Inception" is bound to be a big hit at the Oscars.

Previously, due to the rush of time and the strike of Hollywood screenwriters, "Inception" has missed the selection of this year's American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards and the three major Film Critics Association awards. There are high hopes for the Oscars right now. Hope to take advantage of this east wind. Add fire to the box office.

January 22, 2008. At the moment of much attention, the nomination list for the 80th Academy Awards was officially announced. There are no American TV programs in China, and Shao Shuaijun watched live broadcasts on YouTube on the Internet. soon. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Oscars, announced the full list of nominees.

"The nominees for Best Picture are: Not Blood, No Country for Old Men, Michael Crichton, Juno...and Inception!"

"Oh, yes!" Shao Shuaijun clenched his fists tightly, feeling regretful and excited at the same time.

In the previous list, "Night Watchman" was naturally annihilated, not even getting the best visual effects. And "Inception" has won Best Cinematography (Bob Adams), Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score (Han Zimmer) seven nominations, plus the Best Picture nomination, for a total of eight nominations.

However, the best director that Shao Shuaijun longed for was not nominated, and the four categories of actor, actress, supporting actor, and supporting actress were also not nominated.

On the whole, the Oscars are like this, and they prefer literary films. For example, the low-budget literary film "Juno" only got four nominations, but it was indeed the three heavyweight awards of Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress, as well as the important award of Best Original Screenplay .

"Inception" can only compete with popcorn blockbusters like "Bourne Shadow 3" and "Transformers" for a little technical award. The consolation is that "Spider-Man 3", the North American box office champion of the year, didn't even get a technical award nomination, and the annual global box office champion "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" only got two technical nominations.

From this point of view, the Oscars still saved some face for "Inception", and at least it was nominated for Best Picture. And with eight nominations, it leads the Oscars together with "No Country for Old Men". Regardless of the quality of the awards, at least the number of awards definitely has an advantage. This is big enough to help the box office of "Inception".

After watching the live broadcast in the early hours of the morning, Shao Shuaijun was in a good mood, and the technical award was the technical award. Originally, he just wanted to be a commercial director. Send Wang Cuicui a message: "Xiao Cui, remember to write back to the Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation, saying that I will attend the Golden Raspberry Awards."

Then, go back to your room and go to sleep.

After the morning, the news that "Inception" led the Oscars with eight nominations was immediately reported by the media, causing a public outcry around the world. Did not participate in the Golden Globe Awards, which is known as the vane of the Oscars, but still won eight nominations, which was expected by everyone, but also unexpected.

In any case, "Inception" became popular again, and the box office rebounded.

And there is a lot of discussion on the Internet, all are analyzing how many awards "Inception" can win, and even the media join in the fun, with endless analysis.

"Shao Shuaijun was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture and the Academy Award for Best Picture at the same time in one year. Shao Shuaijun has done an incredible thing."

""Night Watchman" is not a broken wing, it just stops and rests, "Inception" continues, and the eight nominations are the best proof."

"Eight nominations, all technical awards, "Inception" may be classified as a popcorn movie."

"The possibility of winning the technical award is huge, and the best film and best original screenplay may encounter unexpected events."

"From the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Screenplay to the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, Shao Shuaijun's talent has begun to be recognized by the world."

"Li An won the best director and best foreign language film for a Chinese director. Whether Shao Shuaijun can win the best film award for a Chinese director, let us wait and see."

A wave of praise came, and Shao Shuaijun's life was still so busy. The site of the new electric technology research institute has been selected and planned to be built, and the summer will officially recruit students. Chasing Dream Golden Harvest is also waiting to collect money, and Summit Entertainment is also preparing for an IPO to prepare for the listing.

In the Mainland, films such as "Adolescence 2" directed by Li Fangfang, "The Wind" co-directed by Cheng Guofu and Gao Qunshu, and "Painted Skin 2" directed by Wu Ershan have been approved. In North America, several films including "Dancing Out of My Life 2" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" were approved.

Shao Shuaijun also started his next film project in his spare time between work and entertainment. (to be continued..)
