Director’s Legend

Shao Shuaijun and Chen Jiashang met at the tea restaurant of the Dream Chasing Film and Television Base. For Chen Jiashang, Shao Shuaijun is no stranger to Chen Jiashang. His "Painted Skin" was directed by Chen Jiashang in the original trajectory. Chen Jiashang is now elected as the chairman of the Hong Kong Awards.

However, a scolding battle a year ago caused Shao Shuaijun and the Academy Awards organizing committee to tear their faces, and Chen Jiashang did not curse Shao Shuaijun less.

"Mr. Chen, what kind of tea do you have?" Shao Shuaijun opened the menu of the tea restaurant casually.

"No matter what." Chen Jiashang looked very kind, with a harmless smile on her round face. "Director Shao looks really young. Although he knows that you are born after 85, you can see it with your own eyes and still feel Not true."

"Hehe." Shao Shuaijun smiled and recruited employees to order twice Pu'er. "After the Chinese New Year, I will be 24 years old, but many people say that I am a 20-year-old body and a 30-year-old mind, and my mentality is no longer Younger."

"We are now both mentally and physically old. Recall that in the past, at an age like Director Shao, we were still working as handymen in the studio..."

Chen Jiashang and Shao Shuaijun first casually chatted about some nostalgic stories, how Hong Kong's early movies were made, which stars and which scandals. Shao Shuaijun listened with gusto, these stories are not easy to hear.

After telling the story for a while, Chen Jiashang finally substituted the topic: "Director Shao should know what I am here for today. We at the Golden Image Awards apologize for the irrational behavior at the beginning, and sincerely hope that they can resolve each other and invite Shao Director, you serve as a judge for the Academy Awards."

"I'm just a mainland director, why did you think of looking for me?" Shao Shuaijun asked suspiciously. The Golden Image Awards can be said to be pure Hong Kong film awards. It doesn't make sense to find a mainland director who can't be reached by eight poles to serve as a judge.

"Director Shao should know, how did the Golden Statue Award come?" Chen Jia asked, and then said to himself, "It should be said that the Golden Statue Award was born out of the new wave. The original "Film Biweekly" was In conjunction with the launch of the New Wave, the earliest boss was Tang Shuxuan, director of "Goodbye China". She asked many film critics such as Shi Qi and Wen Jun to'obligate' to write some comments. Two years later, "Film Biweekly" editor-in-chief Chen Baisheng thought it might be better to do something. Big', so there was the Golden Image Award opened in 1982..."

The new wave movement in the film industry originated in France, and a group of filmmakers in Hong Kong began to rise in the 1980s. Fang Yuping, Xu Anhua, Yan Hao, Tan Jiaming, Xu Ke, etc. Director of Hong Kong New Wave. Most of them came back from studying abroad, with the skills and ideas, and brought the second wave of golden age to Hong Kong movies.

Thirty years passed in a flash. Most of the New Wave directors gradually retired, but their heritage of Hong Kong films. But it is crucial. For example, Wang Jiawei, who learned a lesson from Tan Jiaming. Guan Jinpeng, who has been Xu Anhua's deputy director. And Wu Yusen, who made experimental films under the influence of Xu Ke.

It can be said that the New Wave is the beginning of an era in Hong Kong film. It cultivated a new idea and a new attitude towards filming and contributed to the golden decade of Hong Kong film. It also contributed to the glory of the Academy Awards.

"Wen Jun and I often talk in private about the Hong Kong Film Awards and Hong Kong movies. I don’t have to shy away from you in front of you. Hong Kong movies are indeed in a state of death, back and forth, winning awards. Just those few. In Wen Jun's words, we only have one team!"

Chen Jia said with emotion: "It is very sad. We have seen the rise of an era and felt the curtain call of an era. Before today, we still have "Father and Son", and maybe there will be other movies tomorrow. But, The new wave has come to a curtain call, and the directors of that generation have also come to the curtain call. There will be no new wave in the future. Just like in your mainland, after the fifth and sixth generations of directors, no one will distinguish between the seventh and the first. Eight generations of directors. It was a product of an old era, and it will eventually perish with the old era..."

"The wheel of history has always moved forward." Shao Shuaijun echoed with empathy.

"I came today because we have already felt that despite the constraints of historical and political factors in the three places, the categorical term'Chinese-language movies' has already summarized us all, and integration is an inevitable trend. I am here to seek a meeting between the directors’ associations in the three places. But I know that this is not very useful. We need someone to contact or lead this integration. I found you."

Shao Shuaijun opened his mouth and put down the quilt he had just picked up: "Director Chen loves me. I have shallow qualifications. Where can I take the burden."

"The future movie market is yours." Chen Jiashang pointed his finger at the scenery outside the window. He happened to see the huge "Inception" poster on the Siyuan Bridge.

"Shao Shuaijun, the return of the king, takes you into the world of dreams!"

Taking a long breath, Shao Shuaijun suppressed the excitement and shock in his heart, and slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry, in terms of morality, I can't convince people, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

To be honest, you can get Chen Jia on, get the recognition of the Academy Awards, and regard him as the leader of Chinese-language movies. This kind of vanity is too tempting to live a life, nothing more than fame and fortune. Shao Shuaijun had dreams of this kind, but he still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of fame and fortune.

However, he also deeply realized his shortcomings.

No prestige, not enough to convince people!

Although he has achieved magnificent statistics, he has a modest and prudent temper that he doesn't understand. He even scolded the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Horse Award. He even set off a box office controversy on the mainland. There are absolutely too many people who despise him . Even if "Inception" is so hot now, it can't change the hostility of those people.

How can a person who can't convince people, a person who has been in the industry for less than four years at a young age, can take on this important task?

"I know Director Shao has taken care of it. We are just starting to do it. We are not trying to push you to the forefront. We all hope that this time the Golden Image Awards will be an opportunity for change."

Shao Shuaijun pondered repeatedly: "I need time to think."

"I look forward to your reply."

After sending Chen Jia away, Shao Shuaijun fell into deep thought. If a person's pursuit changes with time and status, Shao Shuaijun agrees very much. At the beginning, he simply wanted to be a director, or to accumulate enough capital to support his path.

Can Chinese-language films rise up or resist Hollywood?

He doesn't care, it's just a movie, it's a movie that is popular all over the world.

Cultural invasion?

Block the invasion of the sticks before talking about Hollywood!

But wealth carried him to another realm, a realm where those who can work harder. Walking in front of everyone, then the responsibility of the leader will appear for no reason, heavy.

"When "Inception" comes out at the box office and the listing and financing is completed, I should think about my life trajectory!"

Lifting his head, Shao Shuaijun's eyes regained his clarity.

Since the re-lived life.
