The Best Director

Chapter 185 This is my party

In the warm and spacious living room, Jessica was humming softly and arranging Christmas decorations. She held a Christmas ring with bells, pine cones, etc., and hung it in a place next to the photo frame on the wall, and looked at the sweet photo of the two in Salt Lake City a few years ago with a smile. After recalling it for a while, she turned her head to look at Wang Yang on the other side of the sand, and asked with a smile, "Yang, how about hanging a wreath here?"

I saw Wang Yang sitting on the sofa chatting on the mobile phone, and said without expression: "No, no." Hearing her voice, he smiled and gave a thumbs up, silently saying: "This is very good."

Who is it supposed to be an invitation to some Christmas party? There are always invitations these days. Jessica patted the colorful ring on the wall with finality, turned around and picked up a red Christmas sock that was on the chair. At this time, Danny, who was standing next to him wearing a red dog Christmas suit, jumped slightly, trying to grab the sock. Jessica bent over and touched its head, and pointed to Wang Yang who was on the other side of the sand. While chuckling softly: "Honey, go harass that lazy guy"

Danny turned his head in confusion, and Jessica also turned her head, saying to herself: "You don't understand, right? yep" laughed, and she got up and continued to look for a suitable hanging position for the socks.

"Come on, come on? Please" Wang Yang still said "I can't thank you" after listening to the girl's pleading voice on the phone. It was someone who invited him to the Christmas carnival. This is not the first invitation, but Now that person is Paris Hilton, an IT-r1 with a more profligate reputation. Paris had his cell phone number very early on, and Wang Yang vaguely remembered that she had invited him to a party in "High School Musical" a few years ago.

Then in the past few days, she suddenly called several times. But he doesn't want to go, he's not a party guy, he has his own party, but the style is very different from IT-r1's.

Like a nightclub, Paris is the kind of wild and noisy dance nightclub, with colorful lights, a huge dance floor full of people, men and women dressed in so-called fashion, twisting their bodies and making love to each other, explosive rock music, crazy DJs, drugs, madness...forget it, for him, such a period of time is long past and night.

Now it's okay to go hangover with friends once in a while, but if you put him in that environment all day, he will definitely go crazy; Kill all the troublemakers.

He has now evolved into a domestic animal, he likes the kind of casual bar, or country retro bar, quiet and relaxing, with soft and pleasant music, playing and singing, dancing is not noisy, and he doesn't even provide full bottle service, Instead share a barrel of wine with friends.

But Paris Hilton and her circle are traditional disco or dance nightclubs, so Wang Yang has no interest in going to her parties and meeting her friends,

When Paris said, "Why? Come on, why are you so cool? You're not a priest." He couldn't help laughing, and refused, "Yes, of course I don't. Obviously no priest can drink. But really not, okay? "

"How can I invite you to the party? Tell me" In the luxurious presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, Paris walks around with a microphone in her face, she is going crazy, who the hell is that guy? It was someone else, she said goodbye long ago, but it was Fantastic Young. Thinking about his tall and charming figure, his Asian attractive appearance...and those incredible movies and achievements, she was excited all over her body, she wanted to know he has been for a long time

The magical Yang over there still said in a flat tone, "I don't know, maybe." Paris stomped her feet in frustration, and while walking to the French window, she pretended to cry and said, "I really, really like "" "The Hangover", that was unbelievable, I almost died laughing" This is the truth, she was out of breath when she watched it a few days ago, that feeling is so good

This also made her feel that she must get to know Miracle Yang, such a funny, handsome man of the same age, a 22-year-old director, how could she not know him, and it would be ridiculous to say it.

Paris said in a tender voice full of sincerity: "Magic Yang, I really really want to know you, I love your movies, you know I have liked it so much since "High School Musical", "When Happiness Knocks" "The Door", "Juno", "The Ninth District", I have watched them all several times." She took a long breath and cried unwillingly: "Why did you reject me? What did I do wrong?"

Seeing her being so difficult and refusing to give up so many times, Wang Yang was a little confused and helpless, and laughed at himself: "*** I'm so welcome." It's like Brad-Pitt+Tom- Cruise, plus Johnny Depp, shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said seriously: "Paris, let's put it this way, it's not that I don't go to parties, I just don't like the kind of parties where... a lot of people are noisy, I like the quieter, old-fashioned kind."

"Play jigsaw puzzles, share book ideas, and then tell each other stories about Grandpa's ***..." He wiped his forehead, of course this is just an excuse, this is a standard nerd party, but he is not.

He looked at Jessica who was arranging Christmas decorations with a smile on his face, and smiled on the phone: "This is my party." And there will be one soon, wait for Joshua, Zachary, Erin And Rachel will come to hang out and watch the Golden Globe nominations announced. Jessica is so confident about District 9 and The Hangover that she invites them over to celebrate.

Then he thought of this and simply called Rachel who was still in Los Angeles to make up the lineup for "Ghost Story". A few good friends chatting, drinking, singing and dancing, playing games... This is his old-fashioned party.

"Then can I come to your party? Why didn't you invite me?" Paris seemed to have thought of a good idea, her voice full of interest. Without waiting for Wang Yang to speak, she suddenly said quickly: "Oh, you think I'm not worthy to be your friend? Do you think I'm that kind of spoiled young lady? No, no, that's not true, all my words are lies, you You should know that magazines like to lie, I am a very hardworking person, I haven’t spent my family’s money since I was 18.”

"Of course, you are." Wang Yang hummed lightly, scratched his chin, and said, "Paris, I'm not sure you'll like my party. Let's talk about it later, shall we?" He told her The truth is what people have no interest in.

Paris ignored his words, and said to herself: "I really like your movies, and you, you are so amazing, so cool and different..." She seemed to be tasting Chocolate-like laughter, and said ambiguously: "You know, I just want to get to know you. It doesn't have to be a party, we can come out for dinner. I have a lot of things I want to ask you about movies, and I want to be a good actor .”

"Actually, we already know each other." Wang Yang rolled his eyes up. What is this guy trying to do? Whatever it is, not wanting to entangle with her anymore, he got up and said, "Sorry, I have something to do, so bye." He pressed the end call button, walked towards Jessica, and said, "Sweetheart, what do you mean?" What's going on? Paris Hilton keeps inviting me to parties."

Jessica frowned when she heard the words, waved the Christmas stocking in her hand ferociously, and said in a rough voice: "She wants to steal my boyfriend? I'll beat her to death." Wang Yang put his hands together on her face and kissed her fiercely. He took a sip and said with a smile: "No one wants to steal your boyfriend, don't worry." After that, he picked up a Christmas hat and walked away to find a suitable place to put it. Jessica pursed her lips, if only she didn't have one.

"And I'll say it again for the teacher, you are not allowed to beat anyone casually." Wang Yang turned his head and pointed at her with a serious face.

"I can't hear you." Jessica stuck out her tongue with a smile. She made another grimace, raised her fist and said, "Old man, if you talk too much, I'll beat you up. Don't think I'm a dead man!" Don’t dare to hit the old man.” Wang Yang yelled, his eyes widened and he said, “It’s true that being a teacher is impossible to guard against, but don’t you want to have a baby?” Jessica suppressed a smile, and turned her eyes back and forth a few times pretending to think Then he grinned and said, "Okay, I'll let you off once."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the scene where the nominations for the 1st American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards are announced." In the channel on the TV screen, a golden girl in a red evening dress walked to the floor microphone. She is the current Golden Globe Miss Award Hayley-Girardo (ha1ey-), whose mother is the famous rock and roll actress Pei Benata, Hayley-Girardo is responsible for the announcement of the list of the Golden Globe Awards.

At this moment, countless movie fans are sitting in front of the TV, and this year's hot candidates and film companies are also watching nervously. After all, the Golden Globe Awards are the wind vane of Oscars and various awards. Will there be any gains next year? , it depends on the next few minutes. There are so many hot spots this year, and the media have different prediction lists, so no one can say what the final result will be.

As with all studios with hit films, Fire Films' PR department has done the necessary hard work, sending the judges one by one "District 9," "The Hangover," and "Mr. Hughes." After all, "The Ninth District" was already a movie a few months ago, and the impression of its grandeur is not as good as that of an academic movie on Christmas.

Moreover, the judges have to watch countless films that participate in the competition every year. They are often tired from watching. The superficial packaging, the impression of film critics, and the impression of the film company and cast and crew will all affect their judgment. In any case, the effort that should be done has been done well, and as for what kind of fruit will be obtained in the end, one must accept it frankly.

In the living room decorated with Christmas atmosphere, Danny lay lazily beside the Christmas tree covered with colorful balls and lights, and his two round eyes fixedly looked at the people watching TV on the sofa. Joshua stood behind the sand, pressed his hands against the back of the sand nervously, breathed quickly and said: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a lot of nominations."

On the fabric sofa, Wang Yang was leaning on the far right, Jessica was sitting next to him in the middle, and next to him were Irene and Zachary who were dressed casually. Zachary said seriously: "Yes, there must be." Irene also nodded. Rachel, who was wearing a lavender shirt and jeans, a long golden ponytail and drooping bangs, was sitting on the sofa armrest. She smiled and patted Wang Yang on the shoulder next to her, without saying a word.

Wang Yang looked up at her and knew what she meant, "It's great if it's there or not." He smiled and said, "Guys, thank you, everything is ok. I'll say the same thing. Of course I'm happy to be nominated. ;but if not..." He shrugged slightly and said with a smile: "I'll be happy just looking at the box office chart." Rachel smiled lightly with dimples on her face: "I'm not happy." Wang Yang said with a smile: "But I'm a drunk, Not Spice Girls."

Everyone laughed, and Jessica smiled and clenched his left hand. She knew that Yang had been under a lot of pressure and even ridiculed last year. He obviously cared more than when he was in "Juno". If he can win the best director Nomination is definitely a very exciting thing; but if not, everyone's company and encouragement can make him not so disappointed, so she invited everyone over.

But now they're all nervous, and if there's no nomination... will she screw it up? Jessica tightened that thick hand, took a deep breath secretly, there will be

"Let's start announcing this year's nomination list." On the large LCD TV screen, Hailey Giraldo opened the envelope in his hand, looked at it with a smile and read: "The film awards will be announced first. 'Best Film Song' Candidates for "e-TheR-day", "Die Another Day", composed by Madonna/s-..." Following her words, the screen behind her displayed photos of the nominees one by one and name.

The best song award is always just an appetizer, and soon Hayley Girardo finished reading the five nominations for this award, and continued the announcement of the best score: "Amore Bernstein, "Far from Heaven" ; Terrence Blanchard, "The 25th Hour"; Philip Glass, "The Hours"; Elliott Gordon Sale, "Frida"; Jann Kezmelik, "ninth District"."

"——" There was joy on the sofa, Joshua's hands were like a boxing champion holding up a championship belt, shouting "yes, yes" excitedly, Zachary and Erin also clapped their hands in celebration; Jessica almost jumped Standing up, cheered: "We have a nomination." Wang Yang and Rachel also had happy smiles on their faces, as if this was a nomination for the best director.

This is the second time that Jann Kezmelik has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for best soundtrack. The last time it was their first collaboration "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"; this time the soundtrack of "District 9" has both scenes Huge tension and excitement, but also a monologue-like sadness, the same master-level performance. It is also by virtue of it that the audience can feel more empathetic and hit their hearts.

Four of the five nominations are academic dramas, a sci-fi movie, which seems very strange; but only on January 19 next year will we know who will win this year's Golden Globes.

Then Hayley Girardo announced the nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress. As a result, neither of these two awards had a flame movie. She flipped through the list in her hand, and said with a smile, "The following is the nominations for the best screenwriter." Jessica and the others held their breath. "District 9" is very likely to be nominated for this award

“Bill Condon, Chicago; David Hale, The Hours; Charlie Kaufman/Donald Kaufman, Adapted Screenplay…”

Since the order of the nominees is arranged alphabetically by surname, any award is good. If there is "ung-ang", it is generally ranked last, unless there is xyZ behind it. Now there are only two places left, and everyone's eyes are unblinking. Jessica unconsciously grabbed Wang Yang's hand, Rachel adjusted her sitting posture, and Joshua's hands were raised at any time. raised posture...

"Alexander Payne/Jim Taylor, "About Schmidt"." Hayley Giraldo seems to feel the martial arts The King of the Great Zhou Dynasty will kill the gods and seal the throne at night, begging the demons and the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty will use martial arts to move the universe, will kill the gods at night, and the gods will seal the throne. The Throne of the God Seal Seeking Demons, Proud World, Nine Heavens, Strongest Abandoned Young Da Zhou Royal Family felt their nervousness, paused before laughing and said the last nomination: ""The Ninth District", Wang Yang." As soon as the words fell, the screen behind her In the lower right corner, there is a black teenager holding a director's viewfinder, and the organizer used a photo from two years ago.

"Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!" ; Jessica relaxed, stretched out two fingers weakly, gasped and laughed: "Everyone, two nominations." Rachel smiled and pushed his head with her right thumb: "Congratulations!"

Wang Yang let them ravage him with a smile on his face, being pushed back and forth, he said with a smile, "Thank you, I'm proud of you, you are the best people, don't push me, I'm going to faint... ..."

The announcement site immediately announced the nominations for the best foreign language film, France's "Balzac and the Little Tailor", Brazil's "City of God", Mexico's "The Crime of Father Amaro", China's "Hero", and so on. There is "Africa's Angel" in Germany and "Speak to Her" in Spain. This also made Wang Yang and Joshua high-five happily. Then soon the nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress in a Musical Comedy were also announced, and "The Hangover" was not mentioned.

"The nominees for Best Picture in a Musical Comedy category include 'About a Boy,' 'Adapted Screenplay,' 'Chicago'..."

A tense mood enveloped the entire living room, and the six people knew that this nomination could play an important role in stabilizing the box office of "The Hangover", and it became "the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in history". Easy; and for the part that calls it cheesy and boring, a Golden Globe nomination for Best Comedy is enough to secure its status as a classic.

""The Hangover"" Joshua couldn't help shouting: ""The Hangover"" Zachary on the sand also shouted: ""The Hangover"" Eileen also shouted: ""The Hangover" "Jessica clasped her chin with both hands, and Rachel pressed Wang Yang's shoulder...

On the TV screen, Hayley Girardo smiled into the microphone: "My Giant Greek Wedding, and "The Hangover."

The living room was silent for a second, and then suddenly there was a "wow" and a burst of excited screams, like a poor man who bought a Powerball lottery and won a super prize. Joshua laughed wildly; Wang Yang also raised his hands , looked left and right and smiled: "Happy moment" Rachel with a sweet smile pushed his head again, and said with a smile: "Cool"

"Yeah, that's cool!" Jessica shouted so loudly that she said excitedly, "We have three nominations." Now we have two nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category. Anyway, it's worth celebrating She smiled and looked at the bottle of champagne on the coffee table in front, it could come in handy

Selma Hayek, Nicole Kidman and others were nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Drama Series; and Ed Lynn Brody in "The Pianist" and Best Actor in a Drama Series Daniel Day-Lewis of Gangs of New York, Leonardo DiCaprio of How to Get Away with Murder, Jack Nicholson of About Schmidt and Robert Jr. of District 9 - Downey.

When Hayley pronounced Downey's name, the living room naturally fell into jubilation again. Excitedly shouted: "Four nominations" Jessica turned to stare at him and gave him a warning look "I know kung fu" She clapped her hands and smiled happily: "We have four nominations "

Rachel looked at Joshua with a suppressed smile, and gave him a consoling thumb; Joshua was moved again, thinking to himself: "Why is my sister not her, but this savage?" He put his hands together Clenching his fists, he kept punching false punches at Jessica's head.

But they quickly quieted down, because the nominations for the last two film awards were about to be announced. Hailey Girardo looked at the list in his hand and said with a smile: "The nominees The films for the best picture at the 1st Golden Globe Awards include "About Schmidt", "The Ninth District"... "The Hours", "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", and "The Pianist."

The moment the poster of "The Ninth District" was displayed on the TV screen, everyone shouted frantically, countless fans in front of the TV, as well as all the crew members of "The Ninth District", friends...all go crazy

"Five nominations—"

"The Ninth District" won the Golden Globe Awards. Like the Oscars, the last time a sci-fi movie appeared in the Golden Globe Hall was "e.T." in 1982. It was already a year ago. From a crawling baby to a tall adult, in 2009; the newspapers wrote "Aliens enter the Golden Globes" and then "Aliens enter the Golden Globes", 2009.

"Next is the nomination for best director, the last film award." Hailey Girardo flipped through the list with a smile. She looked down and said with a smile: "Every year, this award attracts a lot of attention. Let's see which big directors have been selected for the Golden Globes. The six nominees are Stephen Daldry, "The Hours"; Peter Jackson, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"; Rob Marshall, "The Two Towers" Chicago"..."

Everyone had already held their breath or gasped for breath. Jessica held Wang Yang's hand tightly, with a look of fear that she didn't dare to look at; Rachel held her right elbow with her left hand, and pressed her mouth nervously with her right hand; Wang Yang pursed his lips, and his heart beat faster, Old man Wu's wrinkled old face flashed in front of his eyes. He closed his eyes slightly and exhaled. Is life like a box of chocolates? Joshua in the back murmured: "Jesus"

"Alexander Payne, "About Schmidt"; Martin Scorsese, "Gangs of New York"; and..." Hayley Girardo turned to look at the big screen behind, and said with a smile: "Wang Young, "District 9"

"Yesyesyes——" Joshua was the first to scream excitedly. He jumped up high with his fists outstretched, and laughed loudly: "Best director of science fiction movie." Rachel covered her face with her right hand, let out a long sigh of relief, opened her eyes and smiled lightly: "Yang, you did it, you madman!" Zachary yelled with emotion, and Irene also looked worried for Wang Yang. With a happy smile, he said, "It's really amazing."

The moment she heard ung, Jessica screamed "Ah" and jumped up out of control, her smile was bright with joy, she danced or kicked her fists and shouted repeatedly: "— — Awesome six nominations for best director Young has best director oh god lol what a great Christmas"

Seeing the frantic appearance of the owner jumping and jumping, Danny beside the Christmas tree also got up happily, wagging his tail and ran over to join in the fun at night.

"Thank you, thank you." Wang Yang bit his lips, but the pain made him feel that something in his heart was suddenly let go. When he was happy, he stood up from the sofa with a smile, spread his hands and hugged Jessica tightly. Hugged, then hugged with Rachel, Zachary, and Erin respectively, touched Danny, and finally he hugged Joshua, gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much, I love you buddy."

Although Joshua also had some muscles, it was very uncomfortable to be bound by his martial arts body. He quickly said, "Hey, you mistook me for Jessica." Everyone immediately laughed, and Wang Yang let go of his excuse. Tsukuru glanced suspiciously, and smiled, "Aren't you? Oh, I must be crazy with joy"

"Amazing Yang, amazing Yang!" Jessica suddenly clapped her hands, and shouted with a smile: "Amazing Yang, amazing Yang." Erin, Zachary, and Rachel all laughed and clapped their hands, shouting in unison: "Amazing Yang, Fantastic Yang" Joshua whistled a few times to make a harmony, and also shouted: "Magic Yang" Wang Yang looked defeated by them, covered his forehead and smiled, "You guys are really... so shocking. Well, I can't even speak anymore."

While they were laughing and shouting, Jessica picked up the champagne that had been prepared on the coffee table, and with a proud and happy face, she shook it mysteriously and said, "It's time to celebrate." At this time, the cork on the bottle suddenly It popped out with a sound of "Bo", and flew upwards like a rocket. She was startled, she didn't expect the air pressure to be so strong

In a flash, the cork bounced back from the sky and flew straight towards Wang Yang. If you look at it in slow motion, you can see that everyone opened their mouths in surprise, and the cork kept moving forward...

"Ho!" After all, it was the speed of the rebound. Wang Yang quickly reached out and grabbed the high-flying cork firmly in his hand. Everyone breathed out again. He looked at Jessica who was stunned and smiled. Said: "See? This is the benefit of learning Kung Fu."

"Wow——" Jessica held down the mouth of the champagne bottle with her thumb, pointed at him and shook the bottle violently, and laughed while moving her thumb away: "Then what about this?"
