The Best Director

Chapter 195 Directors Guild Award

Although Wang Yang decided to buy the adaptation copyright of "The Devil Wears Prada", especially after passing the audition of Jessica's heroine, her excitement made him not allow things to change, even if someone offered 10 million to compete with him , he would follow without even thinking about it, because on the other hand, he also wanted to shoot this story, which also has the characteristics of a box office hit.

However, he did not disclose the slightest rumor that "Magical Yang is going to shoot", he just asked Flame Films to contact Lauren Weisberg. The reason is that he does not want to provoke quotations from other film companies, and he also wants to continue preparations Work on "T--Team" and producer "Prison Break". However, in order to be able to take over the project as scheduled, he ordered the company not to be wordy and tentative, and to directly offer a reasonable high price, just like buying the adaptation rights of "The Fall of Las Vegas" silently.

When Flame Films made a seven-figure offer to Lauren Weisberg and her publishing house, the savvy retired fiend was delighted to not say yes right away, and word spread around the industry. Many people speculate that Wang Yang has read this book. He has always been full of energy. Except for special effects productions such as "The Ninth District", there is almost one movie every half a year. This summer has "T--Team", but Christmas time is still empty.

Anyway, as long as it is something that Flame Movie wants to buy, no matter whether it is Magic Yang's idea or not, someone will compete first. This time Century Fox, Dimensions, Miramax and other companies stepped in; but anyone who knows the flame style knows that if they really want it, they will go bankrupt and follow, and often the big companies will give up in the end. , because there is no magic Yang, who knows what is the use of buying it back?

The "New York Times" bestseller list has new books almost every week. Many of these books have been adapted to the big screen. Therefore, even if there is competition, the price will generally not be raised to an outrageous level.

Negotiations with retired demons continued, and what shocked the global mass media was, what the hell was the diary and those street photos of the new Golden Globe best director? Now Wang Yang's popularity is at an unprecedented new peak. As soon as those street photos came out, portals, entertainment gossip stations, etc. reprinted this group of pictures the next day, and entertainment paper media also published them one after another.

Yahoo Entertainment's headline: "Magic Young's Crazy and Amazing Move." The Los Angeles Times, which published a photo of him lying on a trash can, put a big question mark: "What is Magic Young doing?" "Entertainment Daily" with trophy pictures: "He gave us another unexpected chocolate", "Magic Yang self-destructed image to please his girlfriend.", "He is crazy"...

"He tried to develop Jessica's fall into an extreme sport." According to the report of the "Chicago Sun", Wang Yang has recently been discussing with the first batch of fans who participated in this new sport on his blog to formulate the rules of the sport. And names, they made some names for people to vote on, ng, Bendver, ng, etc.,

As a result, ng (floor) stood out, and its name was Laijie.

The rule is to lie on various places and on various objects. The standard posture is face down and the whole body in a straight shape. The "Chicago Sun-Times" finally stated: "Can Magic Young set off a party craze? We don't know, but we have seen a year-old, real best director. You can't expect Martin Scorsese to play party. After a century of cinema, we finally have a fun, magical guy."

People who are capable, close to the people and funny are naturally the most popular, but behind the "interesting" and "funny" voices, there are also many people laughing, waiting to see how he makes a fool of himself. This is not a normal make-up for viral marketing, but What ng, who would be so stupid? Fantastic Yang wants to play a big game in life? Wait for it to end badly, then never dare to mention it again

But there are many movie fans who have tried the first crab, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Taiwan... and even added fuel to the flames on the B1gger page. In just a few days, more than 10,000 people uploaded their street photos. ; There are also many celebrities and stars, nBa superstar Shaquille O'Neal lying on the ground in the arena, locker room and other places, Golden State Warriors new star Gilbert Arenas even lying on the floor of the women's bathroom...

Acting stars can't mess around because of their image, but Michael Pitt responded, Zachary Levi responded, and even young uncles like Robert Downey Jr. also responded... But they also lie very beautifully, no Choose objects like a toilet, washing machine, but something like a garden chair, flower pot top, etc.

This "dumb and cool" extreme activity quickly gained a foothold and spread rapidly.

And in these days, the preparations for "T--Team" have also made new progress. With the Caesars Palace Hotel agreeing to provide the venue, it's like a dam breaking. After the analysis, under the conditions of "you see that the Caesar Hotel agreed", "you see that the flamingo agreed" and so on, they knew that they were defeated one by one, and they were very "graceful" and agreed to shoot casually.

T also finally showed the demeanor of a prestigious school, changed his original mind, and allowed the crew to enter the campus. Spokesperson Patty Richards said: "We initially rejected it because we were worried that this movie would give people a bad impression of T as 'she teaches people how to count cards and gamble', but Wang Yang re-impressed us with the script. .Blackjack is a real piece of history, and that's why we said yes."

The problem of the venue has been resolved, and the crew of the movie has been formed. The photographer is Walley Pfister, who has worked with Wang Yang many times, and the set designer Gordon Sheen; as a costume designer, this position is very important because the team members in the film have different styles. Lindy Heming ("Tomorrow's Empire", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Casino Royale", "Batman" series) was invited to act, which can be said to be big enough.

This was invited before he won the Golden Globe for Best Director, but now besides "magic", there is also the halo of the Golden Globe Award above his head, so it is undoubtedly easier to attract these Oscar-level people to join. At the same time, he also has his own team, art designer David-F-Klaasson, prop artist Drew-Pietrota...Harry George returned to the post of assistant, and Joshua worked hard to do the trivial work of production assistant Work……

The crew of "T--Team" can assemble and go to Boston or Las Vegas at any time to start the official shooting. But since the Lunar New Year is coming soon, Wang Yang decided to start filming after the Spring Festival. At the same time, there is still one unresolved problem, that is, the cast of a Chinese girl card counter in the point group.

Since the news was released and CAA and other brokerage companies were contacted, many recommended candidates were sent to Wang Yang's desk, and some actors contacted him through various methods. For example, Zhang Ziyi asked about the possibility of her acting. The answer is naturally no, her temperament and English level are not in line.

In fact, Wang Yang has already lowered the requirements after searching for a long time without success. She does not need to be of pure Chinese descent, but she is also of mixed race, as long as the audience seems to know that she is of mixed race. So many mixed races appeared on the list, and then he eliminated some girls who didn't have oriental temperament even if they were dyed black or wore black pupils. The rest of the candidates hadn't been auditioned yet.

For this supporting role candidate, Wang Yang really scratched his head. This role does not have any solo scenes, and almost all of them are scenes of group actions, but she occupies the most in the scene of the card counter, with many close-ups and lines. A vase will do. But he spent more time and effort on this than the heroine, of course the heroine is just a phone call.

He had already slapped the table hard and issued an ultimatum: "Solve this candidate" is just how to solve it, or you have to do it yourself.

But obviously, everything needs to be slowed down, the Lunar New Year is coming, and one step earlier is the announcement day of the 55th Directors Guild Awards. The five directors on the nomination list are exactly the same as the Golden Globe Awards. The awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater, and Wang Yang had to attend in suits and leather shoes. Jessica, who was wearing a black knee-length skirt, attended as a female companion. She was looking forward to having a truly perfect evening

As the winner of the Golden Globe Award, Wang Yang is naturally the most popular, but Jessica was extremely disappointed in the result, and Wang Yang's fans were also very disappointed. The union award was finally won by the director of "Chicago" Rob Marshall. As a result, the best director of this year's Oscars has become even more unclear, because there are only 5 directors who won the Directors Guild Award but did not win the Oscar.

Although the Oscars will not announce the list of nominations until April, in the eyes of the media, it is almost certain that Miracle Yang will be nominated. Of the 6 best directors at the age of 0-9, 5 won the Oscars that year. Nominated 7 times. Why is this year's Oscar the only one that rejects a young and amazing director with such a high voice? What's more, if Mi Yang was nominated, the public had no opinion; if there was no nomination, there would be great opinions.

So will there be a 6th Directors Guild ※Oscar mismatch this year? Even if there is a 6th time, it must be Miracle Yang? Now the bookmaker doesn’t know how to open the handicap. They made two mistakes in a row. Wang Yang won the prize with 6 times the odds; Marshall is at times.

The second day after the Director Awards Ceremony ended, it was Lunar New Year's Eve. Wang Yang and Jessica went to the airport early in the morning and took an early flight back to Chinatown in San Francisco to celebrate the Spring Festival.
