The Best Director

"We are shocked and regretful about the recent "Operation Juno" in Gloucester City. Their decision to act is very sad."

This is the first time Flame Movie has responded to the collective pregnancy incident on its official website. (Reading the novel) There is no criticism or preaching in the article, but every paragraph is full of pain and sadness, and also shows the attitude "early pregnancy is definitely not a cool thing, if it is to get physical changes and experience the feeling of pregnancy The holy king of heaven and earth made the holy king, the king killed the gods in the night, the throne of the gods, the throne of the gods, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, the king, the king of the gods, the seal of the gods, the king, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of Zhou, the martial arts of the heavens and the heavens, the night kills the gods The throne of the god seal seeks the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man of the ninth heaven, the royal family of Zhou, the god-made general, and kills the gods at night. , To the baby, it is an extremely irresponsible thing!"

At the end of this article, it is written: "We will donate 10 million US dollars to support the work of the Youth Defense Foundation; another 10 million US dollars will be donated to support the Women and Children Help Center.

I wish all girls in the United States can have a healthy and happy youth. "

When Flame Movie posted this message, it was immediately praised by many die-hard movie fans and favored by many people. Because "Juno Action" and the recent early pregnancy wave "seemed to be caused by "Juno", but in fact It has nothing to do with Flame Films or Wang Yang, it’s just the film’s influence, if you change to another film company, you might be proud of it.” If you don’t respond, or if you respond with a “regret”, then ignore it. Even if this is the case, no real movie fans will blame it. Reasonable people know that "Juno" is not teaching people early pregnancy, and the movie does not directly say "Don't get pregnant! But enough has been said. As "New York Times" film critic Scott said: "I disagree with Magic Young's irresponsible argument that Juno encountered too many difficulties in the film. It wasn't fun at all "It's just that she's strong enough and has great family and friends."

But now, Flame Films has donated 20 million, it is just a small independent film company! Except for a few people who maliciously say "spending money to buy fame", everyone will give their thumbs up. Flame Movie donates money and benefits those in need. This is something that deserves everyone's praise and respect.

Wang Yang knows that donating money is not a perfect solution to this matter, but the fact is that there is no way to solve this matter perfectly. He is not a savior. "Early pregnancy is not a phenomenon of geniuses. It is difficult to avoid ghosts in early pregnancy..., so in addition to official institutions." He gave the money to private welfare organizations, which means that there are many girls in need of help, early pregnancy It's nice that teenage girls get help, isn't it?

Don't care about donating money? Although Wang Yang finished almost all of his words in articles on the official website of Flame and on his personal blog, print media and the Internet are equally important, and if he wants to publish these words in print media, he must accept an exclusive interview. But fortunately, he has been in the limelight recently, hoping that there will be more newspapers and magazines to interview him. He accepted the invitation of the Los Angeles Times. Of course, he didn't just talk about the mass pregnancy incident.

This is a personal interview on all fronts.

In the bright coffee shop, Wang Yang met Jin-Sylvie, who was wearing a suit of a professional woman. She had done several exclusive interviews with him, and the two were familiar with each other. Seeing him, Jin Yi Sylvie over there immediately stood up, waved and smiled and said, "Hi Yang!" Wang Yang walked over to Jiang Ye and shook hands with her, smiling, "Hi, Jin."

After saying hello, Wang Yang sat down in a chair, ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter, and the interview began. Kim-Sylvie put his hands on the keyboard of the laptop, looked at him and asked: "In the past few days, everyone has been talking about "Operation Juno." The adaptation invitation you rejected, Flame Films donated 20 million to the conservation organization. What is your real attitude towards this matter? "

Wang Yang was silent for a while, and still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He sighed and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm glad to see that everyone likes Juno, but I really don't want to see her early pregnancy behavior." To be learned and imitated!"

Kim-Sylvie nodded slightly, typing and recording on the keyboard" and then he continued: "In fact, at the end of the movie, the mature Juno who understands responsibility is cool; not the Juno at the beginning, She was just a willful little girl who was bored and had sex if she wanted to; if she was pregnant, she would have an abortion if she wanted to; if she didn’t want to have an abortion, then give birth to the child..., she never seriously thought about it Consequences, so hurting others and hurting herself, she was not cool at all at that time. "

"Then you mean that you are very opposed to early pregnancy?" Kim Sylvie looked up and asked, this question was to further confirm his attitude.

At this time, the blond waitress came over with a cup of coffee." She handed it to the coffee table and said with a smile: "Magic Yang, your coffee. "Wang Yang glanced at her, said "thank you" with a smile, and then seriously replied: "Yes, it can be said that I am very opposed to early pregnancy of minors, because regardless of mind, body, ability, time and place... ...", everything does not fit" there is no reason to endorse it. "

He took a sip of coffee and felt the martial arts. The young Zhou royal family uses martial arts to move the universe, kills the gods and seals the throne at night, seeks the magic, proud of the world, and the strongest abandonment of the ninth heaven. Bitter, said: "But everyone has their own choice, what I want to say is, before making any choice, think more, ask yourself "Why,? Are you really ready? At the end of the day, everything I say is corny and uncool, but it's the truth. "

Next, the two asked and answered a few more questions about the pregnancy incident, and the interview moved on to the next part, Wang Yang's next plan. The serious topic was gone, and a smile appeared on Kim-Sylvie's face, and she asked with a brisk smile, "Yan, you know that movie fans are expecting you to say "I'm going to make a movie again" in half a year. How about the release of "Are there any movie plans for this year?"

"Haha!" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "In the past two days, I have an idea for a script."

what! Kim Sylvie immediately let out a sound of "Wow, I've earned it. Fantastic Young's new project is big news!" She quickly asked, "Can you tell me what kind of script it is? "

Wang Yang was thinking about the script idea in his heart. It was because of two reasons. One of them was that he wanted to make Juno and early pregnancy no longer trendy. How could he do that? Just let the new trend cap it off. He took a sip of his coffee and said, "I can only tell you now that this is another girl's story, and she is also very cool." He smiled, and said, "It's not only early pregnant girls who are cool."

"A story about a cool girl?" Jin-Sylvie's eyes lit up. Although his answer didn't contain much information, it could contain a lot of articles. She immediately asked, "So is there a heroine candidate? It will be Nata Li Yibo holding Man?", she knew that there were too many girls who wanted to be the heroine of Miracle Yang's movie, from "High School Musical" to "Juno", he single-handedly made Jessica, Rachel, Zoe Deschanel, Anne-Hathaway and several other girls; Natalie Portman, who is already an outstanding star, directly won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Category. If he said now "I have a movie audition here*..." I'm afraid all the young girls in Hollywood will flock to it" and even a small supporting role will fight for their heads.

"No, there is no candidate now." Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, but in fact he already has someone to choose, that sweet and charming girl, which is another important reason why he wants to make such a movie. But he hasn't told Jessica about the movie plan yet, and he doesn't know if she is interested in acting? Wang Yang smiled lightly, he shouldn't have to think about this question.

But there was a problem. He looked at Kim Sylvie on the opposite side and said, "I will not direct this movie myself. I will be part of its producer and supervisor."

"Oh." Kim Sylvie was surprised, and his hands on the keyboard stopped, and said, "Why don't you direct? Wow! Do you have other film plans?"

"No, I have no plans to direct the next movie." Wang Yang disappointed her and denied this." Then he replied: "I don't direct this movie, um, I called it "Sweetheart" first because..."

Although this movie is called "Sweetheart", it will also be a musical, but it has nothing to do with Jessica's "Sweetheart" that exists in his mind's video library, because if he wants to make a movie that can influence teenagers A trendy movie, a girl who can influence the trend of teenagers, "Sweetheart Dancing" is obviously not enough in terms of the content of the story or the character of the characters.

After the experience gained from "High School Musical" and "Juno", he knows very well that teenagers have teenage tastes, and certain elements can make them crazy. Such an independent character, as well as young handsome men and beautiful women.

But not "Sweetheart Dancing" "Its story is undoubtedly an inspirational type" but the style is too dark. Teens have teenagers who like stories. They don't need to be complicated. The characters in the story, the setting of the scene, the color of the picture, etc., everything must have the sunlight that can be seen. And the black area style of "Sweetheart" is not bad, but it can't affect the trend of teenagers.

He asked himself: "If you are a teenager, what do you think?" The voice in his heart answered him: "I am the same."

If it is a youth song and dance movie, what he wants to see is a year of young and beautiful stories, a group of young people with sunny personalities; instead of negative energy such as violence, drugs, and gangsters, if he wants to see a sinful world, he can watch more serious ones. Why would you want to watch this stuff in a teen musical?

In the past few days, he has been thinking about this question, "It's easy to find actors who are handsome and beautiful", but good stories and characters are very rare. In order to write a good script, as well as the success factors of hip-hop style musicals, he put his mind to Hip-hop, ballroom dancing...all the movies and TV shows about singing and dancing are listed there to watch and analyze one by one, "Sweetheart Dance", "Dancing Out of My Life" 1.2.3. "Dancing World"... Wait, it's even more exaggerated than in "High School Musical".

There are still many he hasn’t read yet, anyway, his goal is to read them all, take their essence, and combine his own ideas, slowly write a script, and create a "cool" girl, a few wealthy Personality of the young man.

He already had a preliminary framework idea, and the reason why he didn't direct was precisely because he found that he still had no shortcomings in directing youth dance films.

Commercial film scripts can be written calmly and strictly in accordance with market analysis, and he knows the needs of the market and the secret of success, so he is confident in producing a good script. But a movie is not a script, it needs vitality, and the vitality of the screen that jumps out of the text. When a script is in the hands of directors and actors, their inspirations and shortcomings will give it that vitality, and even a mediocre script can be made into a good one. Movie. This is one of the reasons why the treatment of screenwriters is so different from that of directors and actors.

If he directs with his emotions, it is only mechanical. It is possible to make a good film, but it is more likely to be a mediocre film.

However, the two reasons for making this movie made him unable to finish writing the script and leave it alone. Perhaps only after he has watched the gains and losses of all musicals in the next ten years in this way, will he not go astray and know that "this movie will be made. What style is it?" So he wanted to tell the director these things as a producer.

"I don't direct because I want to put down the microphone for a while." Wang Yang spread his hands with a smile, thinking about the past three years, and said softly: "I am 21 years old, and I have produced and shot four films in three years." Almost Did not stop.

I think it's time, it's time to learn something new, maybe you don't know, my level of drawing sucks, the kind that draws apples as butts. "

Jin Sylvie couldn't help laughing immediately, looked at him and asked with a smile, "Magic Yang, should I write down this sentence?" Wang Yang shrugged and continued, "So I'm going to hire an art teacher to teach me , and I will go back to University of Southern California to study." Seeing her stunned look," he smiled and said, "What? You know "Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Art, it will be completed at the end of the month and I will study there for a period of time.", "Did I hear you right? Are you going back to study at USC?" Kim Sylvie is still It's unbelievable, what else does he have to learn from the Golden Globe Award for Best Director nomination and how much money the 4 films have made in the global box office? Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts? She reacted immediately, and asked with wide eyes: "You mean, you want to learn something about digital special effects?" Seeing Wang Yang nodded, she asked excitedly: "Wow, are you preparing for the next movie?" Make a blockbuster with special effects?"

"Haha, it's possible that everything is possible now." Wang Yang laughed a few times, picked up his coffee and drank it, and said seriously: "Actually, the reason is not that complicated. I just think that since there is no new directing plan," then learn something new. Bar. Kim Sylvie asked with a frown: "It seems that we haven't seen your new movie for a long time?" "Wang Yang shook his head and laughed: "It's really hard to say. "

Kim Sylvie nodded, tapped the keyboard quickly, and asked, "We all know that you and USC had a very unpleasant past. It's been almost three years now, what do you think?"

"Now that we're talking about this..." Wang Yang smiled, drinking coffee non-stop, recalling the joy of receiving the admission letter from USC, the crazy days when he first arrived at USC, the short but happy time afterwards, And the thing that changed his fate... He was silent for a long time before saying: "The USC School of Film and Television is a great school. I love her and respect her. In her arms are all those who love movies like me." Loved ones. But go..."

Kim Sylvie saw that his face became serious, and his tone became much more serious: "I don't agree with what happened to me and the way the school handled it. Maybe the person who dealt with me Made many right decisions, but he was wrong here, he should be punished, not just apologize.” He took a breath, smiled but said seriously: “In any case, I hope USC and all schools , You must be more cautious when you want to expel a student, because your temporary decision will change someone else's life. What's worse is that this kind of change is usually hopeless."

The two talked about a few more questions about the movie, and they came to the final stage of the interview, "Wang Yang's life and gossip." Jin Yixierwei closed the notebook, as if the gossip questions could be directly recorded in her mind, she drank Coffee, asked with a casual smile: "I heard that you and Natalie have a very good relationship in private? "

Yes, good brother! Wang Yang smiled inwardly, shook his head and said, "I refuse to answer this question, anyway, we are not enemies." Jin Yi Sylvie looked like she was going to gossip to the end, she held her chin, and asked: "Then what do you think of Jessica? Who is more beautiful, or Natalie?" Wang Yang rolled his eyes helplessly, and said with a smile, "I'm not a magic mirror, but yes, you are the most beautiful."

Kim Sylvie laughed when she heard this, and Wang Yang laughed again: "Jin, you can write this." Natalie is a very good and talented actress, and it was a pleasure to work with her. ", through the corner of his eye through the glass window, he suddenly saw a paparazzi taking pictures of them on the street outside, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Look over there, wow, there is a paparazzi! Jin, it seems that tomorrow you will also be published in the entertainment newspaper. The headline should be "Wang Yang Café Meets with a Mysterious Woman..." He shrugged with a smile and said, "I know you guys, that's how the scandal came about. Not even coffee."

"Okay, then I won't ask Natalie." Kim Sylvie is not worried about her scandal at all." She thought for a while and asked: "This year's Oscar nomination list is about to be announced, and now everyone Say you're going to be nominated for best director, the youngest nominee, what do you expect from that? "

"Of course I'd be happy if I got nominated" But I didn't think too much about it, let it be. "Wang Yang's expression is very calm. Although the media's predictions are advocating that he will definitely be selected this year, he is not so optimistic in his heart. Oscar's style has always been calm and conservative. The judges will let a young man who has just turned his age, Only made two films that were "just enough to qualify", and he was selected as the best director Uta smiled "whatever, just like Natalie said, if he is shortlisted, it will be a surprise; if he is not shortlisted, he will not be disappointed . His real expectation for this year's Oscars is "Will Smith be nominated for Best Actor and win the award? As for the double-faced girl, he thinks she will definitely be nominated, of course there is no possibility of winning the award.

Kim Sylvie nodded, and asked again: "You know, the court will make a final decision on the case between you and Cole-Langston next month." How do you feel? "

"Wait." As soon as Cole and the intentional wounding case that has been tried for more than a year have been heard, "Wang Yang feels a little annoyed" and is unwilling to talk more: "There is nothing to say about this."
