The Best Director

"'District 9' Takes Five Nominations, Sci-Fi Returns to the Golden Globes!" - Los Angeles Times.

With the announcement of the nomination list for the 1st Golden Globe Awards, a new round of heated discussions has begun among the media. If you don’t watch the movie called "The Ninth District" first, this list is quite satisfactory, and basically all of them are popular. According to predictions, "Chicago", "The Hours", and "The Pianist" were nominated without any suspense. Only Roman Polanski was not selected as the best director, which is a bit surprising.

But with District 9 on the list, there's a cult sci-fi movie! The sci-fi movie I haven't seen in years! This also makes it the most special and eye-catching one on the list. Every year there are academic films on various topics, solar eclipse twice a year, total solar eclipse once every two years, Leonid meteor shower once a year, crop circles many times a year, Olympic Games, World Cup every four years, presidential change every four years, Golden Globe Awards Once a year with the Oscars...

After years, there was another science fiction film. It made movie fans excited, and gave the media a topic of increasing sales attention. "District 9" and Fantastic Yang seized many pages and even entertainment headlines for a while. You can not report on a certain academic film, "About Schmidt" or "Thelma \u0026 Louise" in detail, but you have to mention this "spectacle".

"Fantastic Young joins forces with alien drunks to aim at the Golden Globes!" - "New York Times"; Come to the light! "District 9" is the best movie of the summer." -Chicago Sun-Times  …

"Amazing Young accomplished what was unfinished two years ago." Yahoo Entertainment reported this way. Two years ago, "Juno" was unanimously shouted by the media, but it was not nominated for the best screenplay. "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" " also lost the nomination competition for the best picture in the drama category; but this year, Fantastic Young won the award that should have been received two years ago with two films standing on two extremes. An unbelievable achievement."

This is not an exaggeration at all. Wang Yang, who is 22 years old and 0 months old, has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for two consecutive films, which is more dazzling than the transcripts of many old guys who play art and business; and The two films he produced and directed this year were nominated for Best Picture in Drama and Music/Comedy respectively. He can handle both serious and profound issues of human nature and vulgar and funny shit.

There is also a global box office of 750 million, the highest opening score of an R-rated comedy, and a series of impacts to break all the records of an R-rated movie...

Steven Soderbergh was known as a magical baby and a genius director for "Sex, Lies and Videotape" at the age of 26. He was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director at the age of 38; Wang Yang was the youngest and second youngest nominee people. How can this not make people like him, and not make the fans who like him completely crazy?

In the accompanying *** survey "Do you support Fantastic Young's nomination for best director?", 87% of netizens chose to support,

9% let him go, 4% I don't care.

In the comments of the report, the text of user Toby Waters was very excited: "This guy just makes you have no way not to pay attention to him, best screenwriter, best director, best film... Fantastic Young, continue to be crazy! With you For an idol!", Marisa-f, whose profile picture is a girl, wrote excitedly: "Oh my God! He got nominated again? Unbelievably cool! Will he win an award?!"……

Of course, the title and treatment of "Idol Director" is no longer a matter of a day or two. On Taobao.com, women’s winter coat m people” ***, including movie stars, singers, models, musicians, sports stars and other public figures participated in the selection, Wang Yang ranked 26th, considering his identity as a “film director” , which is even more incredible.

There is only one film director among them, and acting stars occupy the 13th place. And in Ying magazine's "World's 18th Most Handsome Man", the magazine commented: "He has two charming temperaments of sunshine and heroism and a tough man. When he breaks away from the immaturity of a teenager, he is becoming more and more sexy. "

Even according to statistics from the Social Security Bureau in the middle of this year, Emily (1y) and Jacob (b) continue to be the most popular names for 1-year-old newborn babies. Boys’ Jacob (b), Michael (hae1), Biblical names such as Joshua (shua), Christopher (pher), and Matthew (matthe) are still among the top names, but the number of babies named "ung" has increased significantly, reaching the top 486th place, Apparently influenced by Miracle Yang.

It's also not known if it's the children born from the "Juno" pregnancy craze. After the strong return of "The Ninth District" and "The Hangover", I am afraid that the ranking will rise a lot in the next 3 years.

Overseas media naturally also reported the announcement of the nominations for the Golden Globes, a major entertainment event. Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" entertainment section reported with a headline: "Wang Yang entered the best director competition!" The introduction said: "Zhang Yimou and "Hero" has completed its goal of hitting the Golden Globe Awards. Wai Jai said it is gratifying to congratulate; the two films of Miracle Yang, which has been silent for a year, received 6 nominations, including the best director, helping science fiction films to return to the Golden Globe Awards. People have expected surprises..."

Robert Downey Jr., who was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series, also became the focus once again. His interpretation before and after transformation in "Remember Our Website: District 9" has become the object of praise in many media reports. In an interview with the "Los Angeles Times" for the first time, Robert Downey Jr. laughed and said: "Very happy, really happy! A year or two ago, I didn't think I would have this day, thanks to that Director, I thank him privately."

"Those judges made the right decision, and now I'm interested in turning on the TV." Roger Ebert commented on this year's nomination list. Cult sci-fi has its place. Maybe because of the ratings and attention, but District Ninth has the qualifications to be considered and sought after.

The last time "e.t." ended up taking best picture in a drama category in 1983, but the best director went to Richard Attenborough for "Mahatma Gandhi," so what can District Nine do?

Under the siege of several classic literary films, few people are still optimistic about this bloody special effects film. "The Hours" and "The Pianist" are the mainstream favorites; Being shortlisted already has the ability to win awards. In many cases, if the gap between movie reviews and sensational effects is not very large, the judges will pay more attention to those off-site factors.

The average age of the six directors is 41 years old, the oldest is Martin Scorsese, the youngest is 22-year-old Wang Yang, and the other four are all 41 or 41 years old. Age has a great influence, and this thing can also reflect qualifications; also, he is in the golden period of directing on the rise, and he will gradually win awards in the future, or he is too old to retire. This time the trophy will not be given to him. , I don't know if he will appear again, and then "it's time".

From another point of view, Miracle Young is definitely old enough to stand out from the crowd, and it seems reasonable to win an award with "The Ninth District"; but is the 22-year-old a rising stage or is he about to retire? age? This is the fifth time Martin Scorsese has been nominated, and all the previous four failed. Although it is said that the old man is not old enough to retire, but according to tradition and seniority, the old man seems to be the biggest favorite this year.

The well-known gaming company bet365 has already opened a handicap for the best director award. The most promising is Martin Scorsese of "Gangs of New York", with an odds of 1.53 times; Stephen Daldry of "The Hours" The odds are the second lowest, 2.36 times; Peter Jackson 4 times, Rob Marshall of "Chicago" 4. The second highest, the first is Alexander Payne of "About Schmidt", as high as 4 times.

However, movie fans don’t care so much. Many die-hard fans have already campaigned for their idols on the Internet. Entertainment websites, forums, blogs and other places have their support, and many articles have emerged. Movie fan Gary Parent said: "This The best director belongs to sci-fi movies!" Jenny Bukas said: "Let a Golden Globe award freeze the history! Fantastic Young is the director with the most potential since the birth of the movie, if he is not fixed at the age of 22 , God will be angry!"

And female fan rants like "Ten Reasons Why Fantastic Jan Takes Best Director!", where author Adriana wrote, "Number one, he's my idol; two, he's handsome; and three , he is funny and humorous; fourth, he is young; fifth, he is strong; sixth, he knows kung fu..."

"I think so, "The Hours" and "The Pianist" may be worth the Ninth District, but when it comes to the contribution to the audience, the awards should be awarded to "The Ninth District" and Magic Young, or "The Ninth District" The Lord of the Rings 2." A male author Patrick wrote: "The box office of those literary films will not be as high as "The Ninth District". How many viewers have watched it? How many people have been affected? After watching a profound story in entertainment, why complain that the audience does not understand the film? I support Fantastic Young to win the award!"

There are even many fans of "The Hangover" who are already clamoring to kill the biggest hit "Chicago" and win the best picture in the musical comedy category. What? "The Hangover" is just a bunch of shit and farts and middle fingers, with no connotation? Many fans don't think so.

"The Hangover is actually a great movie, it's just been misread with a smile! Crazy Las Vegas and a warm home make up a man, where Stu finds his maleness, from the mother The chicken turned into a tiger; Doug got rid of the panic and tension before marriage, and in the end he just wanted to go home, how important a wife and home are to a man; but Phil is the representative of a long-married man who always wants to indulge , but he is still a good husband and father; Alan is a typical boy, stupid, nervous, excited, impolite, full of pornography...

Miss Miller symbolizes the kind of troublesome woman that men fear and hate. She is violent, powerful, rude, and has no IQ. Although she is beautiful and hot, no one wants to fuck her; Hot, tender, adores you (thought Stu was a doctor), but the reality is often cruel, she is a whore with children; the bride Trish represents the perfect woman everyone wants, hot beautiful, understanding Your father-in-law also gave you a Mercedes-Benz sports car, she offered to let you have a bachelor party, and she will forgive you for being late for the wedding..."

After analyzing all the characters and details in "The Hangover" for a long time, and speaking clearly, the author of this film review, William Broben, wrote: "How thoroughly "The Hangover" analyzes men And Magic Yang told us that a man can be crazy sometimes, but after being crazy, he still has to go home, and that is the best destination. As for Las Vegas, stay in Las Vegas .”

This film review was immediately praised by many movie fans, and everyone said "Oh", "The Hangover" is stupid and boring? It turned out not to be! It "hits a man's heart!" as William said, so fuck Chicago!

But in the eyes of the media and gaming companies, no matter whether "The Hangover" is a great movie or not, it is still unlikely to win the Golden Globe; in the bet365 handicap, its winning odds are 4 times, and "Chicago" is 1.26 times.

Naturally, all work has come to a standstill during the Christmas holiday, and Christmas Eve on the 24th came in a blink of an eye. For this year’s Christmas dinner, Wang Yang and Jessica personally cooked together, carefully cooking a table of sumptuous Chinese and Western food* ** Meal, the two families spent a happy Christmas Eve together. Then Christmas came. The two basketball fans didn't watch the NBA Christmas game last year. This year they didn't want to miss the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings.

The Staples Arena, which is full of festive atmosphere, is very lively at this time, and the audience is full of seats. The audience is laughing and chatting with friends, there are also waiters walking in the aisle holding drinks and food, and there are children twisting their bodies and dancing, waiting. For the upcoming game.

The side seats were full of celebrities and celebrities. Wang Yang was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. He had a well-proportioned and generous body with muscular lines and a mature face. During the sweeping of the live TV cameras, he did not lose sight of the "global world". The title of the most handsome man at 18”; ​​Jessica with a ponytail sitting next to her is wearing a small black leather jacket, a blue plaid shirt and black slacks, with big silver rings on her ears, her face With light makeup on, the style is very fresh and charming.

Listening to Britney Spears' song playing in the arena, and the hot cheerleaders dancing in unison, Jessica took a look at Wang Yang who was talking with Kirsten Dunst next to her , She couldn't help but think of the Christmas battle two years ago, when Britney and Justin were sitting next to them, and the recognized golden couple had announced their breakup in March this year after two years of love.

It is very common for couples to break up. Some people break up when they try to date if they don’t fit, they break up when they flirt with each other, and they break up when they cheat on each other. The reason why she was a little emotional, and the reason why Quan Mei was a little emotional, was because Britney and Justin were childhood sweethearts and first love, the relationship seemed very sweet and good, why did they break up suddenly? Why are you so sad after breaking up?

There are all kinds of gossip about the reasons for the breakup, but she naturally doesn't know what it is, and their close friends probably don't know, let alone ordinary friends?

In any case, in this deja vu atmosphere, she just felt it was a pity, and there was also a little bit... Jessica suddenly remembered one of the Chinese animal idioms she learned recently.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that she was engrossed in thinking about things, Wang Yang smiled and patted her hand. Just now, Kirsten just said that he liked "The Hangover" and congratulated her on being nominated for the Golden Globe Award. These words can always be heard in his ears these days. Following her gaze to the cheerleaders in the arena, he smiled and said, "Want to go up and show off your hip-hop?"

"No, I'm not interested." Jessica came back to her senses. She smiled and leaned into his ear and whispered, "I just think of Britney and Justin."

Wang Yang said, the reason for their breakup is a mystery, some say Britney cheated, and some say Justin cheated, who knows? He nodded, suddenly understood her thoughts, and asked with a frown, "What? You mean us?" Jessica said repeatedly: "No, no, no! I just feel sorry for them." Wang Yang looked Looking into her eyes, there are some senseless sentimentality unique to girls. He smiled softly and said seriously: "Everyone's attitude towards life and every relationship is different."

"You know there are playboys, slutty party girls." He shrugged slightly, Paris Hilton? He laughed and said: "But there is Tom, he has been with Jamie since he was 19 years old, isn't he married now, is he living well? There is also Jan."

Jessica immediately patted her forehead and laughed, they have always been so happy and sweet, there is no unknown problem, that idiom is not suitable, not suitable at all!

"Hey brother." Wang Yang frowned again and asked, "Do you want to get rid of me?"

"I want to beat you!" Jessica tapped his shoulder lightly with her fist. Wang Yang scratched his head with a sigh, and said in a hurt tone, "You always want to beat me up, but I beat up so many people for you before." Jessica leaned sideways on him, and whispered with a smile: "That's because you want to fight yourself , Do you think I don’t know?” Wang Yang looked at her in surprise: “Oh! You make me sad.” Jessica smiled and clasped his hand.

Soon this Christmas battle officially began with the jump ball of O'Neill and Chris Webber. This year, the Princeton Kings team has matured. Under the leadership of Adelman, Webber, Stojakovic, Bibby, Divac and a group of good players blasted off the position of the Western Conference with their smooth passing and cutting. ; and the 3-time defending champion Lakers with the ok combination is not a rookie to bully. Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, the game was going on fiercely, the score rose alternately, and the first quarter became the end of the second quarter. , score 49-48.

"Bobby Jackson is holding the ball, Kobe is defending him, and the pass was intercepted!" Kenny Smith, who was in charge of the commentary on the tnt channel, shouted, and his partner Charles Barkley said quickly: "This The ball was too careless!" On the court on the TV screen, Kobe Bryant's hand hit a basketball flying in the air, and the ball flew straight to the auditorium on the sidelines. Fly to save the ball!

"This Kings team is all about passing and running, full of energy... Huo! The ball was slapped away, O'Neal made a save!" Zhang Weiping's tone immediately increased on TV5, and Sun Zhengping was about to say something.

Seeing O'Neill in the field leaping towards him, with a huge body weighing more than one pound, the pores of Wang Yang's body shrank suddenly, and his feet grabbed the ground reflexively. Such a big person would occupy at least three seats! Jessica! In the blink of an eye, he pushed away Jessica on the left who was too late to react with one hand. With a force in his waist and abdomen, he made a muffled sound with blowing air, and pushed his right arm forward horizontally!

Bang! All in a natural reaction, Wang Yang's right arm had already crossed O'Neill's abdomen, grabbed his waist, supported his whole body with his feet, and pressed his left hand on O'Neill's shoulder, under his feet Stir together, throw and push to the right!

As a result, audiences all over the United States and around the world who were watching this Christmas game saw this scene. They saw O'Neill flying towards the side seats, and then a person stood up suddenly on the seat, making the oncoming huge body seem to do nothing. After hugging and falling, I saw O'Neill lying on the floor.

"Oh!" There was a low exclamation immediately in the Staples Arena. Nearly 20,000 spectators were looking at this corner, what's going on! ? Jessica, who was pushed to the side, opened her mouth wide in surprise, beside Kirsten Dunst, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and other celebrities, Kobe Bryant, Webber, Fisher and other players, Phil Jackson, the referee, the cheerleaders under the basketball hoop... were all stunned, only the photographers kept pressing the shutter of the camera excitedly.

"My God!" The TV broadcast camera was already aimed at the front of the side seats, and Barkley exclaimed: "Magic Young brought Shaquille down!" He let out a burst of surprise laughter, and said: " It’s amazing! The pounds were knocked down by the magic Yang! Wow——” Kenny Smith laughed and said: “Charles, I bet if your butt sat on the night, Yang would not be able to push it away, it’s too fat! "

Looking at O'Neill on the floor, Wang Yang was also taken aback, and asked, "Shaquille, are you okay?" He turned his head and glanced at Jessica again, but luckily he missed her. Jack Nicholson, who was wearing a black suit, purple shirt and sunglasses, stood up nervously, clapped his hands and said, "Shaquille, are you not injured? What's wrong?" Kirsten Deng Ster looked at Wang Yang and said wow: "Kungfu..."

"Oh, I'm fine." O'Neill, who was lying on the floor, got up with support. He danced his hands left and right a few times, and smiled softly. He heard Wang Yang say, "Sorry buddy, I just had a conditioned reflex." With a haha, he suddenly stepped forward and supported Wang Yang's head with both hands, bent down and kissed his forehead forcefully: "mumu—"

The large TV screens above the arena were all pictures of Wang Yang being kissed by a shark. The surrounding auditorium suddenly burst into cheers and cheers, and many audience members laughed and applauded. The camera glanced at Jessica standing on the sidelines again, and saw her face full of fun smiles; Kirsten, who was also standing, smiled at her: "He is so strong!" Jessica applauded and laughed: " yes."

"Jessica is going to curse!" TNT channel, Barkley said in a shrill foley: "Go away, that's my place!" Kenny Smith suddenly laughed: "Charlie, Charlie, you want to open a new Is it a bet? Just kiss my ass when Miracle Yang’s next movie box office hits?”

Barkley has already learned his lesson once, how could he agree, and the bettor is the unbelievable Miracle Yang? Everyone says he can't, but is he the kind of guy who can do it? He snorted and said with a smile: "This is not basketball, we are talking about basketball! If Magic Young can score more than a single game in the NBA, I will kiss you!" Kenny Smith laughed and said: "Be careful! At the age of 22, if he participates in the draft, the teams will be vying for it, look at his reaction to knocking down Shaquille, his physical fitness, and his IQ, he is definitely a top pg..."

"Hehe, the camera is on the sidelines. O'Neill is kissing the male audience who pushed him down just now." Zhang Weiping didn't know who the black Asian was. He seemed to have some impressions, but he couldn't tell. Naturally, Sun Zhengping couldn't recognize him even more, so he simply kept silent without saying anything, and after a long time, he suddenly screamed: "Strike! O'Neill pours the basket vigorously with both hands!" Zhang Weiping laughed and said, "It's interesting!"

After this sudden episode, everyone sat down again to watch the continuing game. Wang Yang stroked his right forearm lightly. After all, O'Neill was a pound tonnage, and it hurt a little because of that. He looked at Jessica next to him and said softly, "Look, I'm fighting for you again. " Jessica reached out to help him caress, and smiled softly: "Thank you, my knight." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows, and smiled in Chinese: "It's a hero." Jessica nodded: "Da shrimp."

More than five minutes before the end of the game, the Kings widened the point difference to 13 points. Although the Lakers scored 5 points in a row to chase the score to 89-92, but with Bibby stealing the ball and counterattacking, followed by Fisher And O'Neal missed three consecutive shots, and Webber's jump shot was successful, which completely wiped out the momentum of the Lakers' counterattack. In the end, the Kings won the away game 5-99, realizing Webber's success in the game. The previous promise to "send distress to the Lakers at Christmas".
