The Best Director

Due to problems in the production, Wang Yang followed the crew of "Sweetheart" for more than a week, which was far beyond the budgeted time. He saw that Anne-Fletcher could handle it well enough, so he left the crew." I am busy with the preparations for District Ninth. Favorite~

Discussing the shooting plan with Walley Pfister is one of the main tasks, but they have discussed and agreed long ago. Except for some special effects shots that must use the assistance of equipment, "The Ninth District" will be fully "Using shoulder-mounted and hand-held shooting" will not keep the camera picture in a very stable state, of course, some pseudo-documentary news shooting, monitors and other shots are not included in this list.

As for the color and film style, it is naturally dark and textured. The dark is to make the audience feel depressed, and the texture is for authenticity.

Another job is to supplement the last few important positions of the crew, the sound engineer, lighting engineer and other members of the film crew: as well as the blasting and speeding special effects team, he and Richard Kidd, the visual effects supervisor ("The Matrix", "Transformers 2, "Spider-Man 3", etc.) together completed the formation of this aspect. When everything is ready, the time has come to the ninth district "can be officially launched at any time.

In this month, "High School Musical 3" received a box office of 100 million in North America." As the last part of the trilogy, and with the excellent publicity, the fans' viewing mood is stronger than that of the second part. It must be expensive, and it is expected that it will eventually receive more than 130 million box office in North America; and there is no reason why the overseas box office should not exceed 100 million.

The happy ending of the "High School Musical" series has allowed Huomo Movie to make a lot of money again, and it has also allowed Wang Yang to produce "The Ninth District" without any financial worries.

However, before starting the machine, he had to go to New York. In addition to personally going through some related procedures for the long-finished sentence, he also visited the newly established Si Shao department of Blue Sky Studio and Image Engine, and accompanied him in charge of business production. The filmmaker Alice Hansen negotiated with several companies, as if sponsoring some real and expensive props in "The Ninth District", and his task was to explain to the manufacturers how to shoot when shooting , will impress the audience with your product, so sponsor!

Although he has a lot of money, and the company has a lot of money, he is not the kind of stingy guy who doesn't care about the film's effect to save costs. But if you can save five million or ten million on this expensive item, why not save it? Next, the five million and ten million will be spent on special effects to make the movie better, and the manufacturers will be happy. Everyone is happy.

But in any case, he would not deliberately aim the camera lens on the trademark; but often times it is not necessary to do that, the ibm notebook is just quietly placed there as a set, which can only show that he and the protagonist are both Use ib.

After long consultations and interviews these days, several companies including ibm have agreed to sponsor,

It can save the cost of "The Ninth District" by 5 million, which also means that the special effects cost is another 5 million.

The morning sun is very warm, the autumn air is crisp, and Manhattan is in the midst of a busy day. Although there are endless cars on the street, but seeing the smiling faces of young students returning to campus, and the energetic working people, in this fine weather, Everyone is in a very comfortable mood. Autumn is really the best season in New York.

Wearing a light gray coat, Wang Yang walked out of the hotel where he was staying and came to the street. While eating the bread in his hand, he walked towards the newsstand. He planned to play around in New York for a day, and then take the evening flight back to Los Angeles. He has been working almost every day for more than two months, and he feels a little tired. People need to rest and relax.

When he came to the newsstand, he smiled at the boss: "Hey, sir, give me a copy of The New York Times!"

"OK, young man, your newspaper." The half-white-haired white-haired boss took out a newspaper and handed it to him, saying with a smile on his face, "Today's weather is really good!" Wang Yang took the newspaper and paid for it. The smooth trip and the pleasant weather put him in a good mood, and he said with a smile, "Yes, summer in San Francisco, autumn in New York, and winter in Los Angeles are my favorites."

At this time, a blond girl who was buying a newspaper next to him said with a smile, "What about spring? Which city?" Wang Yang shrugged with a smile, and asked, "Where is the spring that people don't like?" The white boss and the blond girl Suddenly they all laughed, she nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, spring is always so elusive."

Wang Yang smiled at them, then scooped up the newspaper and turned around, facing south, he could see the lower city and the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the tallest building in New York. He suddenly frowned suspiciously. Flying low?

A huge muffled bang came faintly from afar! Everyone on the street was startled and stopped in their tracks. What happened? Wang Yang stared blankly at the North Tower of the World Trade Center, which was billowing with thick smoke. Just now, the plane crashed directly into it...,,, the white boss, the blonde girl and all the people looked up there, their faces full of embarrassment. Shocked, within a few seconds, everyone who reacted shouted "Oh, my God!"

"Damn it, why did it catch fire!?" A black man yelled in surprise: "What's the matter with the loud noise, was it hit by a missile? Or a bomb?" Wang Yang frowned tightly. , shook his head and said: "No, I saw a plane, a plane crashed into it!" The people around couldn't help but amazed." The blond girl covered her mouth and said worriedly: "How could such an accident happen? Terrible, can those on top escape? "

Some people on the street continued to go to work, while some people stopped to watch, or took out their mobile phones to make calls, and others took pictures with digital cameras, and there were voices of discussion: "This accident is too bad." People are sad, many people will die.”…

Looking at the towering building with flames and black smoke from the top far away, Wang Yang felt very sad and regretful, and also had a little doubt, was this really an accident? The plane flew very smoothly just now... Maybe it was a terrorist attack. Terrorists planted a car bomb in the underground parking lot of the World Trade Center last year, and the explosion killed several people... But at best it was just bad Surprise!

As he walked back to the hotel, intending to check the reports, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, quickly connected, and said, "Jessica, a plane crashed into the World Trade Center just now."

Los Angeles is in Beverly Hills, and today's "Sweetheart" filming plan does not include her shots, so even though it is almost nine o'clock, Jessica stays at home in home clothes, trimming her love flowers in the back garden. Hearing Wang Yang's heavy voice on the phone" she immediately frowned and said suspiciously: "What? The plane hit the building? why? Are you ok? "

"I'm fine, I just want to tell you that I'm fine." Wang Yang answered her quickly, if this accident happened two days ago, maybe he was in trouble. I went to the World Trade Center for a discussion. As he walked, he looked at the building and said, "I don't know what's going on, are you at home? What did the TV news say?\

,""Yeah!" Jessica responded, walked quickly back to the living room of the house, turned on the TV, cn. This is the news on the channel, listening to the host say "This may be a terrorist attack"" and looking at the building with thick smoke on the screen, her heart sank suddenly, and she hurriedly said: "Yang, stay away from the World Trade Center! do you know? oh no! "" She stared at the screen with wide eyes, shuddered all over her body, and lost her voice: "Someone jumped from the top" Oh my god... another one, my god..."

Wang Yang couldn't help sighing. Did every life, every laughing and crying person just die like this? He comforted: "Jessie, I'm going back to the hotel now, it's far away from the World Trade Center, don't worry." Jessica's voice was still full of worry and anxiety, and said: "Yan, you will leave Manhattan immediately, the news says it is very It might be a suicide hijacking terrorist attack, it's too unsafe there!" Wang Yang nodded and said, "Well, I will."

After chatting for a few more words, and about to return to the entrance of the hotel, suddenly there was a loud bang, resounding over the entire sky of Manhattan, and I saw a fiery red mushroom cloud rising from the south tower of the other building at the World Trade Center. Everyone on the street shrank back reflexively, with expressions of astonishment and fear on their faces.

"Oh my God!!" Jessica felt her heart twitch. Just now, she saw a plane on the screen crashing into the south tower of the World Trade Center at high speed... She said anxiously: "This is Terrorist attack, this is a terrorist attack! Yang, leave quickly! Hello? Are you okay?" Hearing the beeping sound of her mobile phone, she took a deep breath, dialed back, and murmured: " Please, please..."

In a girls’ dormitory at Harvard University in Boston” Natalie and her roommates looked at the screen of the flat-screen TV and frowned tightly. The phone call from the car at home didn't work; she gritted her teeth, and then dialed Wang Yang in New York, but it still didn't work! She was about to lose her composure and knocked on the phone, cursing: "Paralyzed, around paralyzed"

Toronto, Rachel listened to the clogged line on the phone" thinking of his blog post "I'm in New York! "She closed her eyes and prayed silently. Luo Shiyan, Joshua, Zachary, Michael Pitt...whether they call Wang Yang in New York, Tom Welling, or other friends "everything Mobile phones and telephones in New York and the surrounding areas are all unreachable.

Wang Yang hung up his cell phone helplessly and in a hurry, but he couldn't make a call to Luo Xian and San Francisco, so he ran to the hotel. The lobby of the hotel seemed to be full of chaos. People were either rushing in and out, or crowding around the service desk. The front desk clerk said, "Sorry! Everyone, I think the communication is paralyzed, and I can't make calls at all.\

,""Terrorist raised by a bitch!" A big black man punched the counter furiously, and another white young man sighed: "I don't know how many people are going to die, it's working time now." Another blond white man Unwilling to believe it, he said: "Maybe these are just two unrelated coincidences? If this is a terrorist attack" how can it be..."

The people in front of the service desk were discussing a lot, Wang Yang looked at the big TV screen with a frown, and saw the smoke and fire all over the top of the twin towers, suddenly a person jumped out and fell, and everyone immediately said "Oh", full of excitement. Sad and sympathetic. Wang Yang couldn't bear to press his forehead. This is a living person dying, not a special effect of a movie... He shook his head. The call just now was cut off. Jessica must be very worried; fortunately, his parents didn't know that he was in New York , they don't surf the Internet much...

"Internet!" Wang Yang yelled suddenly, and rushed to the elevator, going back to the room to surf the Internet.

"Why can't we get through!" Jessica frowned tightly, looking at the chaotic picture on the screen, and listening to the host say, "I hope that pedestrians on the street can pay attention to the falling of the wreckage of the plane, and the momentum of the wreckage can at least reach A block away" She felt more and more afraid, afraid to think the worst, if something happened to him... She shouted: "Stop, no! Danny over there shrugged and shook his head." curled up into a ball.

At this time, the mobile phone next to the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. Jessica's eyes lit up, she scooped it up immediately, and pressed the channel without looking at it: "Hello." But the voice that came was not Wang Yang, It was a very deep girl's voice: "It's me, Natalie. Do you know what Yang is doing now? Isn't he on the plane or the World Trade Center?"

"No, of course not! Don't talk nonsense." Jessica said hastily. She sighed and said, "Just now he was on the street and was about to go back to the hotel. We were talking on the phone and the phone was cut off the next day. When the plane hit, but he's fine... I hung up and maybe he's calling now." Natalie over there hummed and said, "It's useless, the phone system is down, I'll go .” Jessica nodded helplessly and said, “Well, I’ll go to say goodbye too.”

As soon as he returned to the room, Wang Yang hastily opened his notes, opened his Q, and other instant messaging software to go online, and immediately posted a message on his blog, "I am in New York, and everything is fine. This matter It is a tragedy for the country, and God bless all innocent and kind people." After the quick update, he took a long breath, picked up his cell phone and dialed it without giving up, but naturally he couldn't get through.

He scooped up his notebook and went to the balcony, looking at the burning World Trade Center in the south. The weather was still so clear and crisp, but in just over half an hour, "New York City and the whole country were in panic. News from q. The reminder sounded non-stop, but he was a little dazed looking at the Twin Towers, because just now, five or six people jumped down in a row, falling from a height of more than 400 meters...,

"Shit." Wang Yang cursed in a deep voice, why is there no superman in this world? Get those guys in the air, or intercept the whole plane before it's too late! But there are many heroes in this world, those firefighters, ambulancemen... He looked at the news on the AOL website on the screen, "A firefighter on the ground floor of the World Trade Center was hit by a jumper, and the rescue failed, and unfortunately died." .”

He sighed, and while opening the instant messaging software, he refreshed the website, and the result was immediately "The server cannot be found, even the network is blocked.

He first opened Jessica's Q window, and the screen was full of messages such as "Are you there?", "Yang, talk!", "Please, hurry up", and Wang Yang felt warm and quickly Tapped a paragraph and sent it to Jiang Ye: "Jesse, I'm fine, I'm in the hotel now.

Seeing this text in the chat window, Jessica closed her eyes with a smile, and said softly: "Thank God! Thank God!" She took a long breath, "Feeling relaxed all over, he is very happy now. Good! She glanced at the TV screen in front of her and typed: "Yang" I'm so scared, seeing those people jumping down, it's terrible...As long as you're fine."

In Boston, seeing his reply, Natalie couldn't help but clenched her fists and smiled. Her parents, Yang and friends are all safe and sound, and unfortunately it didn't happen to her! It's just that those who are suffering from disasters now... Natalie shook her head, she really thought to God, why there is such pain and sorrow, can't all people and animals be happy all the time?

"My friend, I'm fine. I'm in the hotel now."...Wang Yang copied and pasted a reply to Natalie, Rachel and a large group of friends, as well as Max Langt and others, and returned to Jesse card window, sending: "Don't be afraid, contact my parents" and tell them I'm fine. I'll take the train back to Los Angeles right away, and I'll be by your side soon. "

According to news reports, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States has now set New York, Washington and other places as no-fly zones. If it is classified as a terrorist attack, it is believed that the surrounding airports and flights will be closed soon; even if there are flights, he does not want to By plane.

Jessica frowned, although she hoped to see him next to her in the next moment, but... she typed: "No, don't move yet! Trains, planes, who knows if there will be any terrorist attacks ? Jan, promise me"

"Well, I'm not moving, but I have to leave Manhattan first, and I think my location will be evacuated. So Jesse, let's talk about this first, and I will contact you later" Wang Yang finished typing this past night, I copied another section of "I have to leave Manhattan, bye.", sent it to my friends, took a look at the World Trade Center with black smoke over there," then closed the notebook, walked back to the room and quickly packed the important things. He walked quickly and poisonously with his luggage bag on his back.

When he boarded the 10:17 train bound for New Jersey at Penn Station, Wang Yang found a seat and sat down in silence. According to the conductor, this is the last train of the day, and New York and New Jersey will be closed afterwards. The traffic tunnel between. And lower Manhattan has been paralyzed because the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, and I don't know how many floors it collapsed; but it is known that many people died because of it.

Everyone on the train had serious expressions on their faces. They all got the latest news from the TV in the train station just now, and they talked a lot: "I heard that the south building has collapsed", "It's completely collapsed...how is it possible?" ?!", "Didn't you see the news, the Pentagon is also down, I don't know how many planes were hijacked..."

Terrible emotions enveloped the entire train and the outside world.
