The Best Director

Chapter 279 We are the champions

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Dominique García Lolido / I am J. Lamas, here is the announcement of the nominees for the 61st American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, and you will see the past Throughout the year, the best film and television works will be rewarded."

On the nb channel watched by countless viewers, Dominique Garcia, the daughter of the famous actor Andy Garcia, wore a white low-cut evening dress with long and elegant length; Alvaro Joshua, the son of Lorenzo Lamas, Lamas is wearing a black suit, and the two are Miss and Mr. Golden Globes this year. The scene of the Hilton Hotel on the TV screen, behind them is a large screen showing the Golden Globe 1g, the two smiled and opened the envelope with the results in their hands: "They are..."

The hope of this year's flame film hitting the awards is all on Wang Yang, two films and one TV series.

Although "-21-em" is a forgotten summer movie, it created the pinnacle of the gambling movie genre due to its critical reception, and it was also sent to participate in the musical/comedy awards. It has great ambitions, but it doesn't have that much momentum.

Among the awards for Best Film, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor/Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay in Musical Comedy, it seems that only Best Actress in Musical Comedy Expected to be shortlisted. Because Natalie Portman's performance is so amazing, Amanda, a charming and talented college student, is on par with Juno, a sharp-tongued high school student; it is also because she is Jewish and a Harvard graduate.

The Jewish influence in Hollywood is huge, and Natalie Portman is the best candidate for a new generation of Jewish idols, and her achievements will naturally be more sought after. Although the Golden Globes are called to be held by the Foreign Press Association, they will still have these effects. Therefore, Flame Movie did not promote the words ""21" can make Wang Yang nominated for the best director", which was ignored. It just spent the promotional expenses on the best actress, followed by the best film.

Another film, "The Devil Wears Prada", which is now fiercely contested by film critics, is also classified as a musical comedy, because the Golden Globes do not have technical awards such as "costume design". Like "21", it is most likely to win The nominations are Best Actress (Meryl Streep) and Best Picture.

Originally, a 23-year-old director, producer, and screenwriter single-handedly produced "21" and "Devil", which seemed to be worthy of a heavyweight nomination award anyway, but now that person is Wang Yang, his The age effect bonus has expired after "The Ninth District" won the Golden Globe and Oscar. Now he is required like Steven Spielberg, Steven Soderbergh and others, even More strict, at least stricter than "American Beauty" director Sam Mendes, who called him Magic Young?

So, in terms of the three awards of director, film, and screenwriter, Wang Yang is most likely to be nominated for "Prison Break" not on the big screen but on the small screen.

As the biggest surprise of nb in this v autumn file, the biggest bad news of b and b, "Prison Break", which has been broadcast for many months and entered the winter break, has achieved amazing results in ratings, with an average of 650,000 viewers and 13/point ratings. It sits at the fifth position in the evening prime time in the first half of the year; and it has unbelievably set off a "Prison Break" craze in many overseas countries, and fans and audiences all over the world have followed Michael Scofield's thrilling journey.

However, "Prison Break" seems to be in urgent need of "building a beautiful building". TV film critics have already called it "revolutionary series", and fans of the series have also given thumbs up to "the best TV series in history". Only the awards are missing, the Emmys, the Golden Globes.

Even if Flame Family Entertainment doesn't worry about this point, NB will naturally do enough publicity for it. Nominations for awards will boost the box office and also boost the ratings. On tonight's Golden Globe nomination list, "Prison Break" is most likely to enter the two competitions for Best TV Series in a Drama Series and Best Actor in a TV Series (Wentworth Miller).

"e---by, e---r1..."

In the spacious living room full of Christmas atmosphere, the leisurely guitar sound and ugly singing sounded at the same time. Danny lay down next to the Christmas tree with a troubled face, and simply closed his eyes to sleep; Jessica looked at the TV screen very nervously on the fabric sofa , silently praying that "21", "d", and "Prison Break" will have many, many nominations, especially "d" should be shortlisted for best director and best film, so that all those annoying film critics will shut up!

Of course, she also knows that this is almost impossible. The journalists and judges of the Golden Globe Awards are actually film critics, and they use the eyes of the film critics. Now the situation of "d" is %%, it is better to count on "21", but that It's not like beating up film critics...

"But all her friends are arrogantly shrugging their noses." Wang Yang hung a black guitar on his shoulder, and stood beside the sand, playing and singing emotionally. Since listening to Jessica's "ey- jude", he felt that his love for music and rock was completely aroused by her! The current singing makes him close his eyes slightly, feeling very good about himself: "They all don't like his pocket suits, he's a skater boy, she says boy goodbye..."

"Jan, stop! The reveal is about to begin." Jessica gave him a blank look. These days, he is really bewitched, and he hugs the guitar whenever he has time. Wang Yang sneaked a glance at the screen, turned around and continued to play: "Jessie, do you know? My goal now is the Grammy, so I'm going to release a record." Jessica laughed: "Okay , I support you! But am I more hopeful?"

"No." Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and continued to play and sing on his own. His voice was obviously nice and not out of tune. Why was he called ugly, exaggerated, and artificial? This is his truest expression of emotion!

At the announcement site, Dominique and Alvaro began to announce the nominations. The names and photos of the nominees were displayed on the big screen, including the best movie song, best soundtrack, best screenwriter, and best male/female The list of supporting roles was revealed one by one. Compared with the previous media predictions, there is no surprise, "Cold Mountain", "Big Fish", "Mystic River", "Lost in Translation", "True Love Actually", "The Last Samurai" and " Lord of the Rings 3" and other films will share the quota.

Under the more excited singing, Jessica picked up the remote control to turn up the volume, and Dominique laughed on the TV: "Next is the best actress in a musical comedy, they are Scarlett Johansson, "Lost in Translation" "." Jessica couldn't help shouting: "Scarlett has been nominated! Wow, it's great!" Dominique continued: "Diane Keaton, "Love Is Compromise"; Helen Mirren, "Calendar Girls"; Natalie Portman, "-21-em"; Meryl Streep, "The Devil Wears Prada."

"Ye! ye!! Yang, two places!!" Jessica raised her fist excitedly and rushed up, as if she was happier than having Jessica Alba on the list just now, but she didn't hug her at the beginning. what hope. She was jumping happily, plucking the strings of the guitar excitedly: "Two! If a movie is ugly, will the heroine's performance be valued? If the director is rubbish, can the actor perform well? No! They are connected of!"

"Wow!" Wang Yang was also very happy when he heard the names of Natalie and Streep. Their performances are fully worthy of this award! Seeing the excited Jessica, he smiled and stretched out his arms to hug her, but this guy... Jessica let out a "hey" and was hit by the guitar; Wang Yang sat down on the sand and said with a nonchalant smile: " Really happy news! Anyway, it at least shows that "d" is not bad, it's very well acted, isn't it?"

"They are connected!" Jessica roared firmly, gnashing her teeth as she sat down, "Time will prove everything and how wrong they are!"

For Meryl Streep, who has won 13 Oscar nominations and 18 Golden Globe nominations, the 19th is a piece of cake, but when she heard her daughter happily shout "Mom , you have been nominated!", she still felt very happy, because every nomination was devoted to her heart and soul. Mami, who participated in the role of "d", suddenly felt: "Magic Yang is really amazing."

Scarlett Johansson became a popular youth idol from a well-known child star, and received a series of acting opportunities because of his appreciation; Natalie Portman received many awards in the "Star Wars Episode" series Criticism, as soon as he came to his movie, there was a reborn genius performance; her mother was acting normally, but she also stayed on the set of "d" for two days, and she had seen the magical demeanor and director ability of Yang, a Little tricks can be talked about by him, and it works.

"Yes, Wang Yang has an amazing talent." Meryl Streep, who came to the living room, nodded when she heard the words. Magic Yang's growth path is very extraordinary. At the age of 23, he is more mature and confident on the set than he is at the age of 33. , The 43-year-old director can often hit the nail on the head with a single sentence; but she is also full of enthusiasm and rigor unique to young people, which really helped her a lot in the performance of "d".

Looking at the eldest daughter on the sofa, Streep was about to ask where the second daughter went, when Mami asked again: "Mom, many film critics on the Internet are besieging Wang Yang these days. Do you know about "D", What shallow, boring... What do you think?" The Gummer family rarely talked about movies and performances at home, but Meryl Streep knew about this scolding battle, and she laughed when she heard this question Laughing: "This may be my best-selling work, what do you think? An almost perfect commercial film."

Under the same New York sky, Natalie laughed a few times when she saw her photo on the big screen. It was interesting, interesting! She shook her head and let out a "whoosh". She collaborated with him twice and both received this nomination, neither Rachel nor Jessica. She muttered: "How about the best partner?" Will there be a third collaboration? Should she agree...

At the scene of the revelation, some nominations for awards were announced successively, including Best Actor in a Musical Comedy and Best Actor in a Drama. As for the Actress, Scarlett Johansson was nominated again for "Girl with a Pearl Earring". Charlize Theron, who is a favorite actress and performed amazingly in "The Devil" with a self-destructive image; to the disappointment of Wang Yang's die-hard fans, the best picture in the musical comedy category does not have "21" and The figure of "Devil" is naturally absent for the best director.

The five best director nominees are Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation, Clint Eastwood for Mystic River, Peter Jackson for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Anthony Minghella for Cold Mountain" and Peter Weir's "Race to Arms".

Basically, Anthony Minghella and Peter Weir are the runners, and the bookmakers will definitely offer the highest odds for them.

The 32-year-old Sofia Coppola is a member of the Coppola family, the daughter of the great director Francis Ford Coppola ("The Godfather" series), and the cousin of Nicolas Cage. She was 19 years old in "The Godfather 3" , the 28-year-old's performance in "Star Wars Episode 1" was humiliated by the Golden Raspberry Award, the former was nominated for worst newcomer and worst supporting actress, and the latter was nominated for worst supporting actress. There are also countless accusations of "disgraceful nepotism", "ridiculous performance", "no future"...

However, when she sadly left Hollywood, retired from the ranks of actors, changed careers and picked up the microphone of a director, her talent suddenly burst out like a water pipe bursting on the road! Last year's "Death" was well received, and this year's tribute to Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" "Lost in Translation" even swept away various film festival awards. There are also countless praises "born to be a director", "a great female director is born", "the future is boundless"...

But even so, her odds will not be too high; Clint Eastwood will not be high either. As a result, it hardly needs to be said that the "Lord of the Rings" series is "accumulated and explosive".

"Now, he has become a super star, playing his guitar on the stage." Wang Yang bent over and pulled out the guitar, walking around step by step, shouting excitedly: "Your beautiful face is now Is the boy worth it? He's a skater boy..."

"Honey, have you been dumped by some girl?" Jessica frowned tightly, not knowing whether she felt sorry for him or couldn't stand the crazy singing. Wang Yang was stunned with a hush, stopped and looked at her face, and nodded without thinking: "Yes, that's why I love this song. You change the skater boy into a camera boy, and the ballerina girl into a rock girl ... Am I talking too much?"

Jessica slapped the sand violently, and said angrily: "Dumped you? What is she doing!! No, no..." She blinked her eyes and shook her head. When she realized something, she immediately stuck out her tongue and smirked: "Thank God! Thank her! Yes, "er-by" should be sung by me, hahaha!" Wang Yang patted the guitar with a blank expression, and said, "Honey, that is my very unbearable memory Ah! No, it's not."

"Yang." Jessica beckoned to him, and said softly: "Come here, come here, take the guitar." Wang Yang put the guitar on the edge of the sand, sat down and asked, "What?" Jessica opened her hands Pulling him into his arms, hugging him like a child, he suppressed a smile and comforted him: "Oh, poor boy! Your singing voice is beautiful, and you look handsome playing the guitar. Don't care about their arrogance." Wang Yang fell comfortably on her lap, looked at the TV screen, and smiled happily: "That's right, I always thought so!"

The announcement of the nominations on TV is continuing. With the announcement of the best foreign language film and the best film in the drama category, all the film awards have been announced; the next two hosts will immediately announce the nominations for the TV awards, TV movie series short drama, musical comedy Best Television Series, Also Drama.

"The five nominees for Best Actor in a Television Series, Drama Series are Anthony LePaglia, Clueless; Wentworth Miller, Prison Break; William Peterson, CSI; Martin Sheen, The West Wing; Kiefer Sutherland, 24."

"The five episodes shortlisted for the best TV series in the drama category include "24", "CSI", "Prison Break"..." With the voice of Dominique Garcia, the big screen lit up " A promotional poster for Prison Break, she went on: "Six Feet Under, The West Wing."

"Ye!! Haha! Haha!!" Jessica waved her fist excitedly again, to see what those film critics could say! This is really awesome! She smiled, lowered her head and mum kissed him, and asked, "How should we celebrate?" Before Wang Yang could answer, the cell phone on the coffee table rang suddenly, and he got up to take a look: "It's Natalie, I guess It's time to congratulate. e11, Natalie!"

Sure enough, Natalie laughed happily: "Hey, Jan! I just watched TV, and I got another Golden Globe nomination, are you watching too? It feels good! I just came to say something to you Thank you." Wang Yang shrugged and smiled, "No, you did a great job, but...to celebrate these nominations, I decided to sing a song! Wait a minute, you'll hear it right away!"

He felt a strong whim, excitedly pressed the speakerphone, handed the mobile phone to Jessica, who was beside him with round eyes, picked up the guitar, and passionately played and sang "e-re-e-n": "We are the champions, My friends - we will fight to the end, we are the champions!!!"

", very good! You can stop, I'm very touched." Natalie said in a deep tone, and heard another passionate "We are the champion!", she coughed: "Champion, I have to die! But I can't Don't say, you are very talented in singing, stick to it! I'm waiting for your diamond record, haha! Bye!"

"I knew it! I knew it..." Wang Yang scratched his head and shook his head when he heard Jessica's "none of my business" innocent rolling of his eyes when he heard the beeping sound of hanging up the phone. : "Why? Am I too rock and roll?...Damn it! Just be my camera boy." Jessica patted him on the shoulder silently, and Wang Yang said calmly: "But to celebrate our box office champion, So I'll keep singing to the end!"

Jessica had a cute and sweet smile on her face. She nodded, and suddenly danced and acted like the Hulk, and roared loudly: "We are the champions——"

"Wow."

This list of nominations can be said to be stable, without any surprises or gimmicks. The enthusiasm for media reports seems to have weakened a lot. Sofia Coppola makes female director history", "Meryl Streep's 19th nomination", "Scarlett Johansson shows amazing talent", "Wang Yang goes to the screen" and so on...

Now Jeffrey Westhoff of the "Northwest Herald" has become an outright "popular black". "The Big Bang Theory", bad-mouthing "Prison Break: Escape"... as long as there is anything related to Wang Yang who mocked him as "funny", he will never forget to add irony, and he will step on it no matter what.

In his latest entry commenting on the list of nominees for the Golden Globes, it was no exception: "See what's changed?"

Westerhof sarcastically wrote: "We can't find Wang Yang's name in the film awards, he is not the heroine; but we can find it on the TV side! I don't offend TV practitioners, on the contrary, I I think that movies and TV are full of difficulties, but I don’t believe that one person’s energy can take care of a long drama, a sitcom, and a sci-fi movie that is called a super production at the same time.”

"Wang Yang will taste the bitter fruit for his arrogance and arrogance. He will inevitably lose sight of the other, and in the end both sides will screw up! "D" is already the prelude, can't he hear it? Poor man, poor nb, poor "Firefly" "."

I don’t know if there will be any bitter fruit in the future. The media are very surprised that Miracle Yang was nominated for the best TV series in the drama category for the first time on the screen. This seems to have nothing to do with "d". "Amazing achievement", " The great director plays with the screen" and other compliments came one after another. And what is also sweet on the screen is that "d" became the North American weekly box office champion on December 12-18.

No matter how bad-mouthing, cursing, or smearing dirty water the Criticism and Black Yang faction has, "The Devil Wears Prada" is like a hurricane, sweeping away 74,685,200 box office unstoppably in 56 theaters in the week. The second-ranked "Lord of the Rings 3" received 51.47 million in two days after its release in three theaters, occupying almost all of the market share in the last two days except "d", which also made the third place the hardest hit at the box office.

Men and women watch "Lord of the Rings 3"; women also watch "D". "Love is Compromise" at 19.5413 million, "The Last Samurai" at 14.93 million, "Brothers" at 190,000... This week's North American box office totaled 100 million, "d" accounted for 37%, "Lord of the Rings 3" 25 %, and the rest of the videos are victims.

The figure of 74.68 million continues Wang Yang's box office level and ranks fourth in his personal weekly record. Above it is "21" with 75.26 million, "The Hangover" with 90,000, and "The Ninth District" with 131 million. At the box office, there wasn't any Waterloo or a town that looked like Waterloo.

Since the release of the words in the "Los Angeles Times" interview, although the war of words has been provoked, Fantastic Young has not expressed anything, but he has not chilled the people who stand up for him and speak for him. He wrote on the main battle blog Updated a thank you log titled "We are the champions". In the article, I thanked the "d" crew for their hard work, the audience's love and support, and those film critics from their own camp.

And it is the last sentence of this diary, a sharp sentence that makes the fans and netizens shout excitedly, "It's finally here!"

"I keep hearing a really funny thing these days, I don't know who it is, it's too much. They say I'm hyping, I'm scared, I'm going to cry... because 'd' is a nobody I like it. Please! 11, do you think "d" will have a global box office of more than 400 million? I think it will."
