The Best Director

Chapter 131 Fantastic Yang is scheduled to win the 2003 Oscar for Best Director! ?

"Magic Young is scheduled to win the Oscar for Best Director in 2003." This is a report in the latest issue of the gossip tabloid "Hollywood Dynamics".

After the MTV Movie Awards ended a few days ago, Wang Yang suddenly received the news that his master was critically ill, and immediately rushed back to San Francisco to see the old man for the last time, and then attended the funeral. The entertainment media have long reported that his fans Fans also expressed their condolences on the Internet, letting him mourn; and Wang Yang also thanked the fans through the newly hired agent Paul Amory.

However, "Hollywood Dynamics" disclosed some details of Miracle Yang seeing his master for the last time in the ward: "He was very sad, and he made many promises to his master in tears, like never letting him I will go to jail, and my future children will learn Chinese..." And one of them is the focus of the article, he will continue to be a great person, and he promises: "I will win many, many Oscars, and the first best director will be given to look"

This article is not commentary or biased, just stating the matter. But with this text report, the sales of this issue of "Hollywood News" have increased a lot, and it has also been reproduced by many online media, but are these details true or false? Did Miracle Young really say that? Or are they fabricated? Movie fans naturally don't know, but gossip news has always been "believe it, and don't believe it."

There are not a few people who choose to believe, and won the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 23? Not even a single nomination yet? With that mysterious R-rated violent movie District 9? Under normal circumstances, how arrogant and insane must Miracle Yang be to utter wild words like this?

People who hate and hate Wang Yang have ridiculed: "He shouldn't make such a stupid promise, his master was teased.", "It's disgusting, he thinks the Oscar is the MTV movie award? If you can't do it, don't Said", "Obviously he was so sad that he lost his mind at that time, I sympathize with him" but everyone else understood and supported him. These are just words of comfort from Miracle Yang to the dying master. It is already very immoral to be exposed. How can it be Make irresponsible remarks?

In online comments, many fans fought back: "When you know what it feels like to lose a loved one, you will understand that when you become an astronaut and land on the moon, you will agree." It’s true, but those who use this to laugh at the amazing Yang are idiots, and everyone knows that these words can’t be taken seriously.”, “Although it seems absurd, I don’t think Yang has any chances, maybe…”

There are also a large number of people who dismiss this, and it is just a nonsense made up by unscrupulous gossip tabloids.

But Wang Yang knew it was true. When he took the "Hollywood News" in his hand, he was so angry that he tore up the newspaper. Although the tabloid still took care of it, it didn't publish any words from the master, and almost didn't mention the master, but does this count as respect? They disturbed the master's peace but what the hell is going on,

How did the tabloid know these words?

There were only him, the master, and Jessica in the ward at that time. None of them could be the one who exposed the news to the media. Could it be that there was a paparazzi hiding under the hospital bed?

According to the analysis of agent Paul Amery, this is indeed one of the possibilities. The paparazzi can do anything; or the paparazzi have eavesdropped on the partition wall, but due to the Chinese language, it is more likely that the paparazzi are in the ward I put the recording equipment in it, take it away afterwards, and then find a translator to read it.

So the process of the whole thing should be that at the backstage of the Shenandoah Theater, the news that he had returned to San Francisco due to his master's illness had already leaked. This is not surprising. There are so many people and reporters walking around; Informed the counterparts in San Francisco, quickly found the hospital, pretended to be a doctor or medical staff, entered the ward, and placed the recorder.

In any case, this matter is already done, and he can ignore it completely and treat it as if there is no such thing. If "Hollywood Dynamics" does not continue to report, it will become a big deal in a few days In the past, Jiang Ye Shi was just a drop in the ocean of gossip news. Who is dating whom tomorrow, which couple is suspected of being at odds, who is having sex? Nightclubs go crazy... no one will remember this fairly low-fidelity story.

"No." When he heard this choice, Wang Yang interrupted Paul Amory without hesitation, with a look of indignation on his face, and expressed his attitude in a cold voice: "I want to investigate to the end." These paparazzi and The tabloids are going too far, if it's a sex scandal, he can laugh it off; but now, he wants the paparazzi and the tabloids to apologize publicly, and let them be severely punished by the damn law, no one can escape

Paul Amory on the other side of the sofa nodded, and reminded him: "Those tabloids are not afraid of you pursuing them, they are most afraid of you ignoring them; once you pay attention, they will take the opportunity to hype, expand their popularity, and increase sales... As for losing money And apologies, they don't care."

Wang Yang took a deep breath, he doesn't care who wins or loses, should he just ignore it? The master lay on the bed and left at any time forever, and they were recording by the side? He scolded "K" and decided to say: "I want them to apologize and make them pay the price they should pay."

"OK." Paul Amory didn't try to persuade him either. This kind of thing is just a choice and won't affect his reputation. As for this kind of news, when it is investigated, it can be said to be defamatory, or it can be said to have seriously violated the rights, but considering the possibility of recording, the reason for the investigation is naturally the former. He thought for a while and suggested, "Yang, you'd better not say too much about the best director."

Wang Yang nodded silently. He knew all the voices on the Internet, mocking, comforting, sympathetic...all thought he couldn't do it. 2003 Oscar for Best Director? He doesn't know if he can get it, but he is confident that he can make "District 9" qualified to compete, and he will do his best for it. He secretly clenched his right fist and said, "I know how to do it." Said."

The next day, "Hollywood News" received a letter from a lawyer. Wang Yang formally filed a lawsuit against it for serious violations of rights, demanding compensation and a public apology; at the same time, he also sued the unknown person who provided the information, and demanded a compensation and apology. , or even go to jail. Paul Amery announced the news to the media. He said: "Their behavior is very shocking. This undoubtedly hurt Young seriously. He is very angry and regretful. He hopes that this matter will be corrected. result."

Naturally, this is not the first time that a celebrity has sued the media paparazzi for sexual assault. This kind of lawsuit is staged almost every other day, but few of them are successful. .

Because the laws of most states in the United States stipulate that as long as it meets the interests of the public, the mass media has the right to disclose and report what is currently happening and what has happened to a public figure, and to use his/her name and photo without Authorized in advance. So where did Tom Hanks go shopping with his family, which couples went to a restaurant for dinner, what they were doing, what they were talking about... none of it is a joke.

And as long as it is related to legal and public concern events, publications can use the names, photos and related information of officials, people running for public office, actors, writers, singers and musicians, etc., without authorization; Even if a person's private life is made public as a result, no authorization is required, as long as the information is relevant to their official office or public role.

So to write a biography of George Bush; or to make a biographical movie of Bill Gates, you don't need their consent. The biography can be published, and the movie can also be released.

California is the center of performing arts and entertainment, and it is also where the paparazzi are most rampant. There is no willingness of the parties involved. They take pictures, record audio, and video. If they come clearly, a group of people can follow step by step, but if it is just like this, is it still called a paparazzi? Apart from some normal photos, how could there be any rumors? They secretly follow, disguise, and sneak in... The methods become more and more high-tech, and they are becoming more and more like agents, and celebrities have to be more and more careful in their lives.

Now that "Hollywood Dynamics" is facing Wang Yang's lawsuit, it actually just obtained and published a few words from him in an improper way. If the court finds that this is of interest to the public, then there will be no punish. Even if you lose the lawsuit, it doesn’t matter if you apologize for nothing, and if you lose money, you won’t be punished too much. The popularity and sales you have already made up for it, which is why gossip newspapers dare to publish any news.

"Hollywood News" can't wait for the whole world to know the news that he was accused of violating privacy by Miracle, which means that his gossip news is true, and it also means that the gossip is true, come and buy it

In its latest issue, it hastily reported the news itself, and also revealed more details about the ward that day. There was still no old man Wu, because he was not a public figure; There is a nickname called "ungest-Fly", he also plans to marry and have children with Jessica in a few years, and "won the best director in 2003".

Fans who pay attention to this matter know that now it is confirmed that this matter is true. He did tell his master that he would win the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 23. People who hate him continue to mock him, and those who support him Also continued to express understanding, but no one said "he's serious, he'll get it".

At the desk in the study, Wang Yang looked at the computer screen, tapped the keyboard with both hands, wrote his blog that he hadn't updated for several days, recalled some past events of his master, and some attitudes towards this matter these days: "I don't Willing to say too much about their behavior, it is too much, they should all be sent to Rikers..."

He picked up the water glass and took a sip of clear water, looked at the document silently, thought for a while, and typed a paragraph: "If I win the Oscar award, it will allow my master to live two years longer and my relatives Happy, happy, I hope I can get it every year. The master is gone, I miss him forever, and I also remember what I said to him. Oscar for best director in 2003? Guys, life is like a box Chocolate, you never know what's next."

When this blog was updated, many gossip tabloids followed up and made reports the next day, and even big newspapers like the "Los Angeles Times" began to pay attention. Everyone saw the deep relationship between him and his master, his His hatred of the paparazzi and the tabloids, and his response to "best director," borrowing a classic "Forrest Gump" line, seems to mean: "Although you all say I can't, But it’s not like I can’t really do it.”

It's a calm situation now, which is already a bit of a rant. Those who ridiculed him suddenly took a stimulant, wishing to go to 2003 immediately, so that they could see how this guy made a fool of himself: "He was blown out of his head by the MTV Movie Awards, come on Magic Yang, you are a joke now", "Look Come on, I bet he won't even get a nomination, or I'd love to lick his balls"

Those who supported him also fell silent, and of course there were still many hardcore female fans who continued to support him: "He is such an optimistic and humorous person, I really like him", "Does anyone seem to know Dr. Brown? Sitting in his time car Ever been to 2003? Young is right, who knows what the next chocolate will be"

"I'm afraid the next piece of chocolate isn't the best director." This is exactly a professional analysis review by "Film Review", which basically gathers the opinions of the media. This rational review has also received a lot of support and reprinted on the Internet , like a final decision: "Although he is Miracle Yang, although he is the person who has the best chance of breaking the Oscar winning record, but he wants to hold the best director's statuette two years later, it does not mean that it is absolutely impossible, it is just that Something that happens in 0.1% of the time."

This article is not simply to look down on Wang Yang, but also to use him to talk about the current situation and history of Oscar. In addition to issues such as age and qualifications, the most important thing is the style of the Oscars.

"Magic Young's current directing plan is only "District 9". If he hits the Oscar with this film, let us analyze it. We don't know what kind of movie "District 9" will be, so we can only go to Guess, it's a mockumentary, R-rated violence...it's a cult movie."

Cult movies have never been the schoolyard thing, where young directors have fun, are embraced by diehard fans... whatever, if you want awards and more success, you tend to come back Mainstream, or at least wearing the skin of mainstream movies. Some are stubborn, like cult film leader David Fincher, whose much-praised "Fight Club" was only nominated for an Oscar for best sound editing.

Not to mention, in the past ten or twenty years of modern times, the closest a cult movie came to an Oscar statuette was in 1995, when Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" won the best award. There were 7 nominations including film and best director, but only the best original screenplay was awarded. It was "Forrest Gump" and Robert Zemeckis who won the best film and best director of the year.

Would "Pulp Fiction" have won if there hadn't been "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" that year? Maybe it will; maybe it will be killed by other mainstream movies on top, but it is a fact that it did not win an award.

Every year, there will be classic academic mainstream movies. I believe that District Ninth is not only a violent cult movie, but also a pseudo-documentary of "not popular". It can be said that the difficulty is doubled. If it has "Pulp Fiction" then Excellent, it is "likely" to be nominated.

However, compared to the problem of cult movies, there is another problem that is more serious and deadly: "The special effects, the connection between District 9 and Area 51, let us infer a possibility that "District 9" is a A sci-fi film. Apart from technical awards, a sci-fi film has never won the best picture and best director in the 73 years of the Oscars.”

In 73 years, only four sci-fi films have been nominated for best picture, 1965 "Dr. Strangelove", 1972 "A Clockwork Orange", 1978 "Star Wars", 1983 "Alien E.T."; Only three people were nominated for best director for the film, Stanley Kubrick (three times, namely "Dr. Strangelove", "A Clockwork Orange" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968), George Luca Star Wars, Steven Spielberg (twice, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T.)

The epoch-making phenomenon of these films, those three people are the iconic figures in the director, but they all received cold water from the Oscars. "Star Wars" only received technical awards for 11 nominations, "Alien" "E.T." only received technical awards for its 8 nominations... while other excellent sci-fi films such as "Back to the Future", "Terminator 2", and "Black Emperor" did not even receive nominations.

Why does the Oscars "hate" sci-fi movies so much? Maybe the old guys in the academy can't answer this question either. They just habitually underestimate special effects and science fiction films. This has become a "tradition" for 73 years.

"If "District 9" was a sci-fi film, we can imagine the treatment it received, no matter how good it is, how shocking it is... Anyway, the result seems to be already doomed. Don't talk about winning the best picture, The best director statuette, if Fantastic Young can be nominated and help sci-fi return to the Oscars after 20 years, it will already be a miracle. Perhaps this is his chocolate."
