Director’s Legend

The Golden Globes are not as famous as the Oscars, but they are also Hollywood and world-renowned awards, and are considered the most important barometer of the Oscars. However, in recent years, the Golden Globes have increasingly wanted to get rid of the reputation of the Oscar vane and want to become an award that can truly compete with the Oscars.

The subprime mortgage crisis made every industry depressed, but the entertainment industry was lucky not to be greatly affected by the economic crisis. There are only some special effects companies, and the prospects are getting more and more bleak. Entertainment stars, they should continue to be rich and luxurious.

On the red carpet, Shao Shuaijun always walked straight forward without making unnecessary movements. However, the reporter's interest in Shao Shuaijun is huge, and countless microphones are constantly stretched out on the red carpet, hoping to get a word or two from Shao Shuaijun.

For this, Shao Shuaijun could only walk over in a very chic way, and went directly into the Hilton Hotel.

He is already tired of this kind of interview with no substantive meaning. He will just ask you what you think of the award, what is going on with your company, etc. What is the point of talking about it. After entering the hall, many celebrities came up to greet him immediately. As the youngest director and the richest man in China, Shao Shuaijun was the focus of the audience.

After a faint greeting, Shao Shuaijun went directly to his seat and chatted with someone he didn't know. For Shao Shuaijun, it was not a pleasant thing.

Soon Joseph got rid of the communication and sat down, along with Leonardo. Leonardo is purely here to make soy sauce. This year is not his high-yielding year, and no good works have come out. The nominee is the best actor in a drama based on "Road to Revolution".

But his voice is low, Brad Pitt in "Rejuvenation." The acting was so perfect that even Sean Penn in "Muk" and Mickey Rourke in "The Wrestler" were louder than him.

After chatting for a while, the awards ceremony began.

Because the Golden Globes are awards that include film and television, and there is no limit to the time of award, the duration will be longer. It was relatively far away from Shao Shuaijun's general, and at first he could appreciate it with great interest, but when he got bored, he could only lower his head and chat with Joseph to relieve his boredom.

Later, I simply took out my mobile phone and played Tetris.

When the first award of "500 Days with Summer" came, I put my phone in my pocket. Sit up straight.

The award presenter said loudly in a mysterious manner: "The best screenwriter is... Shao Shuaijun. "500 Days with Summer"."

After hugging Joseph, amid applause, Shao Shuaijun walked up to the podium unhurriedly and took over the Golden Globe: "Thank you. Thank you to the Golden Globe judges for giving me this award. This is a recognition of my work. Thank you. Here I would like to thank my colleagues in the crew, it is your hard work that made me stand here. Thank you."

After a brief, featureless acceptance speech, Shao Shuaijun stepped off the stage.

The host didn't even find a chance to ask questions, so he could only make fun of his female partner on stage: "If every winner can be as straightforward as Shao Shuaijun, I think we can spare an hour to have a drink together." Coffee, isn't it?"

After the best screenplay, the award ceremony has also reached the final stage. Unfortunately, Joseph lost the best actor in the comedy music category. No time to comfort a wounded Joseph, and the best musical comedy award is next.

"The winner of the best musical comedy is..."500 Days with Summer"." The award presenter shouted out.

Crash, amidst the applause, Shao Shuaijun stepped onto the podium with a smile again.

"Thank you, it's time to give testimonials again. I'm afraid of this the most. Because the audience always wants to watch a very interesting testimonial process. It's a pity that I can't imitate the female stars. When I came up, I was crying and shouting, oh, thank my parents , Thanks to my family for giving me a lot of support. I can’t learn from new people, and I can’t find my direction with excitement. I’m screaming here. It’s the big family of the crew who worked together to film "500 Days with Summer", and it was a success It belongs to everyone, and I am just a representative. It is not like receiving a lifetime achievement award, looking back at the glory of the past, oh, there is still a long way to go for movies, and receiving this award is a recognition of my work, and I will continue to burn My vitality, to make more contributions to the film industry, more good works."

Holding the Golden Globe Award, it would be a lie to say that I am not excited, but I am not as excited as I imagined. Shao Shuaijun said casually: "It is not easy to find a steady and humorous testimonial. At least when I came on stage just now, I didn't have any Thinking about it, I should actually stand on the stage and continue thinking. Anyway, there is no time limit. You know, I can always come up with a perfect acceptance speech. Well, I have said so much nonsense, but you should have thought about it, yes, I I haven't finished my acceptance speech yet, please give me a few minutes..."

After finishing speaking, Shao Shuaijun held the Golden Globe, tilted his head to look at the ceiling, and fell silent.

There was a lot of laughter underneath. In fact, Shao Shuaijun said that he didn't think about it, but he murmured for a while, and he had already thanked all the people he wanted to thank.

The host had to come over in embarrassment: "Shao, have you thought about it?"

"Thinking."

"Um, why don't we go back to the audience, sit in our seats, and think about it slowly."

"Wow, that's a good idea. It's really hard to stand here and think about it. But, are you sure that after I go down, can I come up again?" Shao Shuaijun raised his foot and shrank back.

The host laughed: "Maybe."

"Your tone is too perfunctory, I don't think I should go on. In this way, you will award the best director in advance, and when the movie clips are played, I will take the time to think about it and try to think of the best director's speech together. "Shao Shuaijun said boldly that even the best director seems to be booked.

The host said embarrassingly: "I think that maybe others may not use the winning words you came up with."

"Whoever wants to use it for others, I will produce and sell it myself."

"Then go down and think about it, I'm sure, you will come up."

After hearing what the host said, Shao Shuaijun really went down, and then the host added: "I think, after the awards ceremony is over, we can take a picture together on stage."

The audience laughed loudly. Although the two hadn't rehearsed beforehand, they cooperated tacitly and had a certain level of humor.

As soon as Shao Shuaijun got off the stage, he said to Joseph: "I bet I can't make it."

The best director has always been Shao Shuaijun's weakness. Not only did he rarely win this award, but he was even rarely nominated. Whether it was in China's domestic awards or in the world, there seemed to be a tacit understanding. , Say no to Shao Shuaijun.

What Shao Shuaijun said was very accurate, because the best director was indeed not him, but David Fincher of "Rejuvenation".

There are regrets.

But this year's Golden Globe Awards is already the most successful award ceremony for Shao Shuaijun. The two weighty awards for Best Screenplay and Best Musical Comedy are huge gains for "500 Days with Summer". After the awards ceremony, the winners attended the press conference collectively, and Shao Shuaijun also participated.

After answering some innocuous questions, stay at the banquet, eat a good meal, and then go home.

The Golden Globes have passed, and the last barometer of the Oscars is over.

According to the original historical trajectory, this year should be the year of "Slumdog Millionaire", which swept the major awards with a dark horse attitude, and became the 11th film in Oscar history without any actor award nominations, but won the big winner of the best picture . However, with Shao Shuaijun's spoiler, "Slumdog Millionaire" has been postponed, and this year's forecast has become more and more variable.

The most relevant award for Shao Shuaijun is the award for best original screenplay.

"500 Days with Summer" has a high call for the best original screenplay, and it is very likely to become the final winner.

As for the best director, best picture, etc., it is estimated that there is no chance.

It just so happens that what Shao Shuaijun values ​​most is the best director.

In the following time, Shao Shuaijun devoted himself to the filming of "Pounding".

It has to be said that Shao Shuaijun's filming speed is quite fast, especially this kind of film adapted from the original version. On January 20th, the production team successfully wrapped up. After celebrating, the crew disbanded, and Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu flew back to China. The Spring Festival will be celebrated in a few days. After a busy year, it's time to go back and reunite with his family.

Of course, this does not mean that work has to be put down. Shao Shuaijun consigned all the copies of "Pounding Heart" back, preparing to edit and produce it in China, and then go to the United States for release. After dealing with some chores in the capital, the time came on January 22, 2009, when Oscar announced the list of nominations.

"500 Days with Summer", which was originally expected to be high, has no nominations, not even a nomination for best original screenplay. It's hard to believe that Shao Shuaijun won the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay not long ago.

"Are you okay?" After watching the TV, it was already early morning, Li Xiuxiu asked sleepily.

Shao Shuaijun shook his head lightly: "It's okay. Originally I made this movie, and I didn't aim to win an award. I thought it was unbelievable to win the Golden Globe Award. It is reasonable that the Oscar was not nominated. Besides , it’s even more uncomfortable to be nominated but not to win an award, now I don’t have to worry about it anymore, right?”

The person involved was very calm, but the domestic media was outraged. Last year, "Inception" received great acclaim. Except for the technical award at the Oscars, the rest came away empty-handed. Now "500 Days with Summer" is still well received, how can it be convincing that the Oscars are even stingy with a nomination for best original screenplay.

"Oscar is still full of literature and art, box office and word of mouth are not the scope of their consideration."

"The Golden Globes have boldly embraced high-grossing films, while the Oscars are still conservative."

"It's a pity to announce that it is no longer necessary for the Oscars to retain this award for Best Original Screenplay."

"Such a phenomenon, Shao Shuaijun's movie was a hit, but he didn't get an award."

"He was full of energy at the Golden Globes, disappeared at the Oscars, and Shao Shuaijun experienced great joy and sorrow."

"Oscar needs reflection." (To be continued...)
