The Best Director

Chapter 163 Is this guy still a human?

"B, B, B——" On the verdant green field, the Greek Vasales Giros in a yellow referee blew the final whistle. He stretched his hands and pointed to both sides. At the end of the first World Cup match in the stadium, the score on the big screen was fixed at China 0:2 Costa Rica. The sweaty players on the field wiped their foreheads and exchanged jerseys. The members of the brother team were all full of joy of victory; while the Chinese team had some expressionless faces and many smiles.

There was only scattered applause in the auditorium, and the fans of the brother team were naturally happy; the fans with the five-star red flag painted on their faces were all blank, looking at each other, covering their faces and wiping their mouths... It was difficult for everyone to accept this reality. Obviously, the Costa Rica team is the weakest team. Milu also said before the game that the Chinese team was going to start scoring goals and break into the quarterfinals. The result...why?

Why did Milu temporarily change his style of play? Why did Sun Jihai end up injured like that? Why did Fan Zhiyi make mistakes again and again like a wandering soul? Why do they still have fun after losing the game? why why?

Even if they can draw with Turkey, it is impossible to win Brazil. Besides, is the Turkish team weak? Can the dream of scoring goals, winning, and scoring goals, the dream of more than 100 million fans, still come true?

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Many fans on the audience stage burst into tears. Both male and female fans burst into tears. The words gradually melted away.

Wang Yang looked at the players of the two teams walking back to the locker room passage on the turf. Hearing the sad cries of the fans around him, he couldn't help frowning and sighing, "It's really a pity that we didn't seize the opportunity in the game." Jessica, who clasped her hands next to her, also felt very sorry, nodded and said, "It's not very good." The two stood up while talking, and waited for the garbage to leave with an empty drink cup, while chatting, "Maybe they I think it is enough to enter the World Cup.”, “Yang, every player wants to win, but this is the game.”…

"Damn it, are these grandsons gambling?" The same scolding sounded all over China, watching TV at home, cheering with friends in bars, all Chinese fans were angry and unwilling. lost

The sound of Peng was nothing in a noisy bar full of people. As a football fan who has loved football for many years, Zhang Jun was furious. I didn't know what to play for the whole game, **I played better than those grandchildren, there must be someone who gambled,**"

His good friend Yang Pan was also panting with anger. He took a few sips of beer and looked at the TV screen above the front. Han Qiaosheng and Huang Jianxiang were still analyzing the reasons for their failure. Is there a champion? I'm so angry, that beautiful woman looks good all night." A strange big-eyed man sitting next to him agreed and said, "Well, yes, who is that beautiful woman called?"

This question is in the minds of countless young fans.

Because in just over two hours, it seems that the most impressive thing is not the bad game, but the "sweet as a flower" brown hair that appeared many times when the broadcast camera swept the auditorium Beauty, a member of the friends and wives of Costa Rica? Korean local celebrity? Who is that black-haired man holding her? Huang Jianxiang seems to be saying what kind of Chinese-American film director?

"It seems to be called Wang Yang? This name is very familiar." Many fans across the country murmured similarly, and then the Internet searches for words such as "Wang Yang", "Wang Yang", and "Wang Yang" suddenly surged. That guy is who? More importantly, who is that beauty?

In fact, there is no need to search, in the World Cup column of portal websites such as Sina Netease, there is already this sideline news "Magic Yang and his sweet girlfriend come to the battle of Zhongge"...

People who pay attention to Hollywood movies and the entertainment section naturally know who Miracle Yang is, and fans of fans have been paying attention to his new developments; but those who don't care much about movies and entertainment, or only care about Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China Or watching Hollywood movies has always been watching movies, and they don’t pay attention to who the director is, its production information... Many people waited for it. After searching for some information and reading it, they just said "Ouch, there is such a powerful one." guy?

At the age of 18, he took a DV camera and created a 10,000-dollar "Spiritual-Ghost Record", and got 323 million dollars with Lionsgate's viral marketing, becoming the youngest multi-millionaire; 19-year-old 8 million The cost of "High School Musical" revived the youth campus song and dance film, which received 411 million worldwide, becoming the youngest billionaire; the 20-year-old "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" with a cost of 32 million made Will Smith the Oscar winner. The box office received another 385 million.

In the same year, "Juno" at a cost of 15 million made Natalie Portman nominated for an Oscar, and all the top girls in the United States rushed to imitate Juno's speech and behavior, and even had an early pregnancy wave, with a box office of 375 million...

"Is this guy still human?" In front of the computer screen, countless young people who had just met Miracle Yang expressed this emotion, and countless girls screamed for a long time, and finally announced excitedly: "This guy is so handsome, I want to be him fans"

Of course, some movie fans established some "Magic Yang Chinese Fan Network" very early on to collect Wang Yang's information and dynamics. There are also a lot of new posts in Tianya Community, Xici Hutong and other places. Fans can easily get a comprehensive understanding of him, and know how powerful he is, and why he can break Hollywood's arrogance and prejudice against Chinese Americans.

Hollywood can be said to be a place where relative power is paramount. Because people have more money and more movies, audiences have too many movie viewing choices. It is very easy and difficult to earn their money. It is just a good movie in exchange. Why can a movie with a cost of 100 million US dollars lose the investor's fortune, but a movie with a cost of 1 million dollars may perform miracles?

Because the audience will not just watch it because of the publicity and hype, because of the director and cast; all of this can only be effective at the box office in the first week, if the public praise and professional film critics applaud, continue; if that movie Just a bunch of crap, so wait for next week's box office percentage -60%. Good movies leave bad movies behind, capable heroes are praised and sought after; incompetent ones are automatically eliminated.

Especially as a director who controls the life and death of a movie, the production company doesn't care what skin color you are. If you prove that you have the ability to make a good movie, you can make money and win awards, then don't worry that no one will hand you a new movie contract In front of him; that’s why John Woo was able to take over the filming of “Face Changing” with an investment of 80 million yuan, “Mission Impossible 2” with an investment of 125 million yuan, and “Wind Talker” with an investment of 115 million yuan; Ang Lee was able to take over the filming of “Hulk” with an investment of 137 million yuan. However, the item of "proving one's ability" before becoming famous is affected by skin color.

But just how powerful is Fantastic Young? Can the nation nickname him "Magic Young"? Can it make people so popular that they are like a big star in front of the screen?

Charming figure, good appearance, humorous conversation and sunny personality are the basic reasons; no one will pursue a fat, short, or dull person, unless he is a comedy star. But the core reason is age and achievement. He is only 22 years old, but he has incredible and disproportionate achievements. This is what makes people crazy.

A movie fan in Xici Hutong posted a feature "Their Screen Debuts" in "Empire" magazine. The article introduced the lives of great directors and their debuts on the big screen, which also explained everything well.

Where was Steven Spielberg when he was 22? As an unpaid temporary intern in the CSULB (California State University, Long Beach) studio, he made his first theatrical 24-minute short film "Amblin"; The film made its debut on the big screen and grossed US$7.5 million at the box office; at the age of 29, "Jaws" became a blockbuster, earning US$470 million worldwide.

What about 22-year-old James Cameron? He is still driving a big truck. At the age of 23, he saw George Lucas's "Star Wars", which made him determined to learn to make movies. He started as a handyman and went to his first directorial work "Piranha 2: Breeding" ", because of a stalemate with the producer, it was not released in the end; at the age of 30, it completed its landing on the big screen with "Terminator", with a global box office of 78 million.

What about the 22-year-old George Lucas who inspired "King of the World"? He was studying in Southern California. At the age of 27, his screen debut "THX-1138" received 2.43 million US dollars. At the age of 33, "Star Wars" with 775 million yuan changed the science fiction movie of the world. And 22-year-old Robert Zemeckis was studying in Southern California and completed his screen debut at the age of 26; Tim Burton was studying at the age of 22 and completed it at the age of 27; Michael Bay was studying at the age of 22 and completed it at the age of 30...

"How good is Wang Yang? At the age of 22, he has already become a great director, with a global box office of 1.5 billion US dollars, a Golden Globe nomination for best director, and an Oscar statuette." At the end of this post, some Hollywood stars were posted Comments on Wang Yang.

Rachel McAdams: "It's always a pleasure to get along with him, and every word he says is full of humor and talent." Will Smith: "He knows how to mobilize your performance emotions, and he is born to do it. The director lives." Anne Hathaway, who became popular all over the United States with "The Princess Diaries", said, "If he asks me to make a movie, I can get zero pay, as long as I take care of my board and lodging.", Natalie Porter Man: "He's a monster."  …

Everyone likes superheroes, especially those of Chinese origin. Overnight, Wang Yang's popularity on the Internet in mainland China soared. People who new to him are looking for and downloading those four movies to see what this guy has done.

And "The Ninth District", which was released globally in August this year, has also become a popular search term on the Internet in mainland China. Released? Filmed by a Chinese-American director, the SARFT shouldn’t cut it randomly, right?”, “If it’s messed up, I’d rather watch a pirated version at home.”

In fact, this is something that fans all over the world are paying attention to and looking forward to. From the lucky DV kid, to the teenage magical director, and then to the recognized Oscar best director award record, these are the results of the first four films of Magic Yang, so what about his fifth film directed? What kind of addition will this R-rated sci-fi film with a production cost of 100 million yuan add to his 22-year-old profile? What will it bring to this world?

After watching the match between China and Costa Rica, Wang Yang and Jessica spent one night in Gwangju, and then went to Suwon, another city in South Korea, the next day. After playing in the afternoon, they watched the United States VS Portugal match at the Suwon World Cup Stadium. In the game, amidst the cheers of fans on both sides, the United States finally defeated Portugal 3-2.

Then the two and Susan McCarthy flew to Tokyo, Japan. After a day of shopping and shopping, they took several large suitcases to Narita Airport and embarked on the return journey back to Los Angeles.

In the fashionable and elegantly decorated first-class waiting hall, there are scattered passengers waiting to board the plane. A middle-aged Caucasian man in a suit and leather shoes is reading a newspaper, and a lady is drinking red wine in a goblet, admiring An Asian man holding a potted plant... Wang Yang and Jessica sat on the comfortable rattan sofa chairs, just like when they set off a week ago, playing with their laptops.

Wang Yang was thinking about the pleasure of this trip to Asia, while tapping the keyboard with both hands quickly, writing a new blog. Before he left for Hong Kong, he didn't expect a blog to attract so many enthusiastic fans, but it's fun to think about it now. He smiled happily and wrote percussively: "Hong Kong is a beautiful oriental pearl, and Victoria Harbor is like a dreamy mirage, which is unforgettable."

The development of the gger website is very good, and the number of registered bloggers is about to exceed 8 million. Although it is still zero profit, it is participating in a selection of "the coolest website in 2002" by "Fortune" magazine, and the voice of gger is at the top. , it is loved by more and more people. So he injected another 3 million from the film salary of "The Hangover" into it, increased the upgrade and research and development of the website, and did more publicity to make gger even cooler.

"And what makes me even more unforgettable is the fans in Hong Kong. Thank you all. I feel very honored and happy for your enthusiasm and love for me." Wang Yang was about to end the paragraph in Hong Kong when he suddenly remembered something. A woman who loves to laugh, He tapped again: "Guys, remember to watch "A Date with Luyu" broadcast this week. I will be a guest and I have a lot to tell you in it."

Wang Yang picked up a piece of pastry from the pastry box on the coffee table next to him, put it in his mouth and gnawed, and continued to write: "Then we went to Beijing, an incredible classical city... It's a pity that this itinerary is too close, almost all It’s just a glimpse, but in the future, I will come to this charming country and have a good time.”

After writing this blog and clicking OK to upload, Wang Yang closed his laptop and looked at Jessica who was sitting on the other side of the coffee table: "Writing a blog?" Jessica turned to look at him, and put the laptop The screen was raised towards him, and he said with a smile, "I'm looking at a photo, take a look at this one." On the screen, the two of them were facing the mountain scenery on the Great Wall, doing the classic bow-flying action of "Titanic" .

"Uh..." Wang Yang frowned with a strange expression, and burst out laughing again. He didn't want to admit this photo, and said with a smile: "It looks stupid and boring. What did we think at that time? How about Delete it?" Jessica smiled sweetly and shook her finger, and said, "No, I think it's very interesting." Wang Yang thought for a while, and said, "But their story ended in tragedy..." Jessica's Xiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Delete"

"No, no, no." Wang Yang suddenly stopped her, and changed his meaning again, saying: "Love is going to do some stupid things, it's really interesting, let's keep it." Jessica wondered: "But that story? "Wang Yang spread his hands and said, "Please, is this their patent? Ours is more romantic." Jessica looked at him without blinking, smiled slowly and gritted her teeth, and said, "Yang, what am I going to do?" About you?" Wang Yang pushed the box of pastries to her and said with a smile, "Don't talk, eat."

With a huge roar, the plane took off from the runway of Narita Airport and rushed into the sky towards the North American continent. The dark clouds of the moon outside the window of the plane gradually turned into blue sky and white clouds. After more than ten hours of air travel, the plane landed smoothly at Los Angeles Airport, and the two returned to the city of angels.

"Wow, these are all gifts for me?" In the spacious and bright living room, Joshua looked at the large suitcases and rubbed his hands with bright eyes. Wang Yang was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, and whispered softly, "Dude, please go ahead and take whatever you like." Joshua was unceremoniously choosing gifts, and asked, "What about Asia?" Like? Is it fun?"

Jessica squatted in front of the sofa, trying on the World Cup pet jersey she bought for Danny, who was wagging his tail. Seeing that the star-spangled banner suit fit him well, she smiled with satisfaction: "Joshua, this You took good care of Danny last time, well done"

"Hey, I'm afraid of Yang's kung fu, it's too scary." Joshua pretended to shudder, he suddenly found something, picked up a rattle from a box, and asked curiously: "What is this?" What is it?" Wang Yang glanced at it, then said with a smile: "The rattle is an ancient Chinese musical instrument, you will know it by shaking it." Joshua shook it vigorously, and the snare drum suddenly made a crisp sound. He felt amused and laughed: "Wow, interesting, I want one"

Jessica rolled her eyes wordlessly. A few days ago, she saw some female fans holding this kind of rattle in the Chinese Colombian stadium. It was very Chinese-style; , and heard Wang Yang say that it is for babies to play with, she couldn't help but bought many different patterns and styles back. While changing Danny's Brazil team jersey, she reminded: "Don't take the one with the child pattern, that's my favorite."

"OK, OK" Joshua shook the drum indifferently, and continued to choose other things.

Wang Yang dialed a number with his mobile phone and called the editor Lee Smith. As soon as he got through, he smiled and said, "Hey, Li is back...haha, today is not enough." He looked at Danny and changed his body again. Cheng England jersey, said to the phone: "Well, continue to cut tomorrow, we strive to finish it this month. Yes, it will be released in two months."
