"Young, seriously, this is the happiest crew I've ever been in since I made a movie. ”

In the not-so-noisy bar, the middle-aged man bartender gently wiped his glass, and Wang Yang and Heath Ledger sat in a corner of the bar, laughing and talking while drinking. The crew finished a day's work, and the "Battle of New Shanxi" is about to be completed, after three and a half months, "Firefly" has finally entered the countdown, this sci-fi production has refreshed Wang Yang's record for single-film shooting time, and continues to expand the number.

And the first to finish is Heath Ledger, and all the shots of the role of Blue Glove were filmed today, which also means that he is leaving the crew. On the set, everyone held a simple farewell party for him, and several of the main creators and leading actors shared their feelings about working with him, and as good friends whose relationship was heating up rapidly, the two came to the bar for a drink after work. Slamming his wine glass, Heath smiled: "When I was filming "Brokeback Mountain" at the beginning of the year, sometimes it was really like torture. I searched in the phone book and couldn't find anyone to talk to. ”

"I think you have a lot of them now. Wang Yang took a sip of wine, and now he has a little bit of alcohol, not like before when he went crazy when he touched alcohol, but there were only a few of them. After thinking about "Brokeback Mountain" that he had watched in advance, he smiled again: "Ang Lee is just trying to let you into the play, and he is very good." Heath-Ledger nodded, dimpling a smile, "That's why I said your crew is good, you have other options." ”

Listening to the praise of this Australian accent, clinking glasses with him and sipping his drink, Wang Yang laughed and said: "You won't know, when I was filming "The Demon Wears Prada" before, I did something that made her very, very angry in order to get Jessica into the play. Seeing that he didn't want to share what was going on, Heath Ledger didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Oh? It's funny, it's scary for women to get angry, and you deliberately provoke it." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I agree! The only woman who is not angry and terrifying is her mother." ”

"Hehe, yes. Heath-Ledger tilted his head slightly and took a long sip of his wine. Wang Yang suddenly remembered that Hiss had grown up in an environment where his parents were divorced, and patted him on the shoulder hard. Heath Ledger glanced at him with a smile and said, "If you have the opportunity, you must cooperate again, I am waiting to appreciate your help in the play." ”

"Of course there is a chance, but don't get too deep into the play. In the past few months, Heath Ledger has occasionally shown nerves and emotional entanglements in private, which seems to be because he is too deep in the play, Wang Yang glared at him and said seriously: "Forget the blue gloves! He's dead, now you're just Heath Ledger, OK?" Heath Ledger nodded with gratitude and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm going to go to Sydney with Michelle for a while." Wang Yang smiled knowingly: "Okay, enjoy the love time." ”

He looked around mysteriously, saw that no one was paying attention, and said, "Actually, I already have a plan. Heath Ledger suddenly became interested, and his voice was still so rough: "Oh, what plan?" Wang Yang smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "A movie, not necessarily directed by me, but there is a role that suits you very well." You played the Blue Gloves great, and that role provided another opportunity for your talent to explode. Heath Ledger then asked, "What movie?" Wang Yang said: "Have you ever seen the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs"? 1.5 million US dollars, its overseas adaptation rights are in the hands of the flames. ”

"Infernal Affairs?" Heath Ledger shook his head, vaguely having heard of it but hadn't seen it, and was about to ask about it. At this time, two tall, hotly dressed Latin beauties suddenly came up and talked: "Hey, two handsome guys, is there anyone sitting here?" Wang Yang and Heath Ledger looked at each other and smiled, the two hot girls had already sat down on both sides, looking at them with silky eyes, the beauty next to Wang Yang actually recognized who he was, and pretended to be a little surprised: "Are you the big director, Magic Young?"

"What's the matter? There's no saying here that married people can't come in, right?" Wang Yang turned his head and glanced at her, she was in good shape, if he had just arrived in Los Angeles to be single and have fun, he would probably have whistled before, and now? He raised his left hand and expressed some stance. The beautiful woman with heavy eyeshadow ignored his action and exclaimed, "Oh my God, I'm your BIG fan!

Why did the two men come to the bar so swaggeringly? Surely it wasn't just a drink! The beautiful woman said excitedly, "I'm so eager to talk to you about movies, I've always been interested in acting, can you teach me?" she made a squinting and kissing expression.

"I don't know, don't talk about work after work, maybe you can ask Heath Ledger. Knowing that she was not good, Wang Yang didn't want to say more, he didn't know if there were paparazzi in this bar, and he didn't have the mood to ridicule. Heath Ledger, who was looked at by the two beauties, coughed heavily. Wang Yang looked at the time on his watch and said to Heath, "I have to go back, man, then see you next time!" ”

"Bye-bye, ladies! A performance tip, safety first!" Wang Yang patted his right elbow, looked at the stunned two beauties, and said seriously: "Really, my elbow is injured, and my wife is still lying in the hospital." Remember to be safe, just like the school taught us!" He pointed his two index fingers at them in the shape of a pistol: "Unless you are an elephant, there is always a suitable ......!" The two settled the bill, smiled and turned to leave. Heath Ledger laughed, "You're such a bastard. Wang Yang shrugged and said, "I am." Heath Ledger said, "You're drunk." Wang Yang smiled: "Maybe." ”…… Both beauties were a little short of breath with anger and scolded, "What bastards!

"And then we left, so tell me how attractive I am! returned to Thomasson Hospital, in case he was photographed by the paparazzi and made up the news that "his wife is sick, and Miraculous Yang is unwilling to be lonely and come out to pick up girls!", Wang Yang reported the situation directly to his wife. Jessica couldn't help but laugh when she heard his instructions, and finally stopped, before throwing a slightly puffy wink: "Do you want it?" ”

"Not now. Wang Yang rolled his eyes, watching her right hand do the up and down movements, he suddenly picked up the pillow on the bed and smashed it at her, and laughed: "You hurry up and lie down and rest!" Jessica closed her eyes reflexively and hugged the pillow unkemptly: "Okay." ”

Although the crew of "Firefly" attracted some paparazzi to this small border town to follow and shoot photos on the set, but fortunately, Wang Yang and Heath Ledger went to the bar to drink did not appear in gossip magazines, but a blogger claimed on the Internet that he had met the two in the bar, and said that Wang Yang was hostile, and she talked a few words as a fan, but he insulted her rudely, arrogantly, and contemptuously, "I really didn't expect him to be this kind of person, it's so disappointing, I'm no longer his fan." ”

This Texas beauty is really not a good man and a woman, and she also exposed it to gossip magazines such as "OK!" in the hope of attracting some attention. However, she chose a wrong direction of exposure, if the subject matter is Wang Yang's pickling girls, spending a good night together, getting pregnant, and having an illegitimate child to be newsworthy, being responded to arrogantly is nothing at all, and there is no photo evidence, the gossip media have shaken their heads, and only include rumors on the website, at least Magic Yang's words are good.

Wang Yang ignored these boring gossips, and continued to finish filming the "Battle of New Shanxi" with a crew without Jessica and Heath Ledger. This huge action scene was shot on 65mm film throughout the whole process, and after Jessica fell ill, he even performed in person, and also called Channing Tatum, Evangeline Lilly, Megan Fox and others to "support the scene", and the hardships were really unprecedented. When a "It's over!" sounded, Robert Downey Jr. and the others cheered and shouted.

The crew has filmed all the martial arts scenes, Jessica has also been on bed rest for two weeks, probably with proper treatment, and the family takes care of her every day to maintain a happy mood; After two weeks, the acute phase has passed, and the edema has subsided and other aspects have improved, and I can leave the hospital bed and go for a walk.

After being discharged from the hospital, it is necessary to take medicine and nursing, and wait until blood pressure, urine routine and other indicators have returned to normal values, which is considered to be cured, and it is suitable for pregnancy if there is no recurrence and chronic nephritis after half a year of healing. Naturally, she couldn't be too tired during the nursing recovery period, and it was not suitable for strenuous physical labor for three months, but at Jessica's insistence, she returned to the crew and participated in a half-day of standing and walking ordinary shot shooting, helping "Firefly" finally complete all the shots in Texas smoothly.

After leaving Texas and returning to Los Angeles, Jessica's mood was much better, because she hugged Danny, who had not been seen for nearly two months since she left Vancouver and flew back to Los Angeles.

At the end of this summer, the crew of "Firefly" continued to shoot some city streets on location in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and of course slowed down the pace of work in order to take care of Jessica. Movie screenings in movie theaters are held every day, and once a year in the summer vacation, "The Hangover 2" failed to win the box office on July 2-8, "Spider-Man 2" took the scepter with 147 million box office, and continued the championship momentum on July 9-15, until the third week, July 16-22, gave way to Will Smith's new film "I, Robot".

The champion of the last full week of July 23-29 belongs to "Spy 2", Warner Bros.'s new film "Catwoman" with a production cost of 100 million has suffered a tragic Waterloo, and Halle Berry, who has not been a star since winning the Oscar, has become the latest object of ridicule, with a double 10% freshness and 34% likeability to witness all this. As we are about to enter August, several new films in the final round of summer vacation are ready, and on the other hand, with the approach of the 04-05 autumn file, the publicity war of screen dramas has already begun.

This year's San Diego Comic-Con Festival isn't yet the studios' new main battleground, and despite the absence of Marvelous Jan due to his wife's illness, the first flame movie to target this popular spot has easily taken the limelight. In terms of films, there are "Saw 2" released on Halloween at the end of the year, "Mr. Hughes 2" released on Christmas, and posters and trailers for next year's "Firefly", "Kung Fu Panda", "League of Assassins" and other films to warm up, and in terms of TV series, cooperation with NBC to promote "Prison Break 2" and "The Big Bang Theory" is also leading the way.

Since the beginning of recording in the studio, some emerging lines have been leaked on the Internet, and "The Big Bang Theory", which has a "hilarious, novel, and interesting" image, has finally been directly unveiled, and its first and subsequent episodes of the wonderful trailer were piloted at the Anime Festival venue. For a while, the people in charge of NBC were reassured, and the worries of "Freaks and Nerds" were almost completely eliminated.

Because "The Big Bang Theory" not only caused bursts of laughter from the audience, but also caused many media reports such as "TV-Guide", among the tens of thousands of questionnaires received during the entire animation festival, the interest of geeks and young people reached more than 95%, and as many as 90% of them said that they would watch it on time, and the follow-up depends on the quality of the series. At least "The Big Bang Theory" managed to get this part of the young audience, didn't it?

"CUT ——!" A summer street in Los Angeles, the crew of "Firefly" is filming in this blockaded area, just like the previous finale, Wang Yang shouted into the white speaker microphone, this time it was particularly hard and long, Valey Pfister and other film crew members, Robert Downey Jr., Alan Page, Jessica and others in the performance area all looked at him, and then heard laughter: "Thank you, it's done! You guys are amazing!"

"Yay! Woohoo-" Although there is still some framing work that does not require performances, the staff cheered and applauded happily, and the stage is over! It took four months from April to July, and the performance footage of "Firefly" was finally filmed! Previously, many action scenes and literary scenes were performed in front of the green screen, and the background of these shots was all composited in full CGI by the special effects team, creating terrain and landforms that do not belong to the earth, as well as cities and towns on the edge of the galaxy in the future.

The compositing materials provided to the special effects team were all to be filmed, and now there is basically only one stop left in China, shooting some images with oriental artistic conceptions, which is also the last thing that the film crew will carry out. And because of the season, an important scene "Plum Blossom Forest" will have to wait until the plum blossom season in January and February next year, such as the scheduled Wuhan Plum Blossom Festival, and the crew will gather again to go to China for filming. As for the acting group, their task has been accomplished.

However, the leading actors were not excited, but they all took a long breath as if they were exhausted, 4 months!

"4 months!" Wang Yang walked to the direction of the performance area where the camera was focused, and said with a smile into the microphone: "I laughed and cried when I recalled, at least I cried, there was NG and Great, there was cool and fucking! Everyone has worked hard, I really want to say, thank you for your dedication! Those sweat and efforts, I believe they will become a classic, proving that we are indeed building a building, a very, quite perfect and amazing skyscraper! and...... You must be thinking, 'Please, let's get done.'" ’。 ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter, Varay Pfister, Joss Whedon and others did not have this idea, the director's motivation would bring motivation, and the young staff such as Harry George and Joshua would love to listen to his speeches, which would bring strength. However, Wang Yang didn't seem to have the idea of going into a tirade today, looked around, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know everyone is tired, last word, there will be a great movie to watch next summer!

With a click, the power of the speaker microphone was turned off, and after another round of cheers and applause, everyone in the crew began to clean up the set.

"Robert, well acted! Wang Yang raised his left palm, and Robert Downey, who was a little shorter than him, wittily punched him on the shoulder, with a signature uninhibited prodigal smile: "Don't waste my genius performance!" Wang Yang smiled and shook his fist and touched his shoulders: "Absolutely not! But you are not so genius." No, seriously. Joker......" Donnie shrugged indifferently and winked at him with his left eye, "I've gained a lot." Wang Yang patted him on the shoulder and continued to walk forward: "Then cherish it." ”

"Daniel, play beautifully, we'll have a game when we're free. Wang Yang and Wu Yanzu hugged each other, smiled and said a few words, and he praised Gina Torres next to him: "Gina, your performance is very eye-catching. Then he walked to the decadent doctor Michael Pitt not far away, the two snapped high-fives, hugged hard, Wang Yang smiled: "Brother, you hurry up and get the band up, I think I will find you to film again soon, don't be scolded by your girlfriend again! I won't save you." ”

"Leave the women alone, I'll be with you at any time in our business. Michael Pitt laughed profoundly, his unshaven face full of seriousness. Wang Yang glanced at him in surprise: "Hey buddy, don't be so ambiguous." Michael Pitt scolded with a rare smile: "Do you want me to kick you?" Wang Yang made a gesture to kick him, but retracted, walked towards Alan Page with a smile, and shouted happily: "Hey Alan! ”

Alan Peggy laughed happily, if there is anyone in the world who admires her the most right now, it must be Miraculous Young. was praised too much, and she smiled modestly: "I think so too, thank you." Wang Yang's eyes widened deliberately: "You should be modest." Unless, tell me, are you really only 17 years old? Not 27 years old?" The aggressive Alan Peggy didn't want to be left behind: "Well, if you're 34 years old, then sir, I am." Wang Yang's tone was strange: "I'm only 18 years old. ”

"Then it seems that I haven't watched "Youth Musical" yet. Alan Pegg's answer was fluent, Wang Yang smiled, I can really see some shadows of Natalie Portman, the little girl is really amazing now, he smiled: "You don't need to be humble at the age of 17, you need it at the age of 27." Peggy nodded instructively.

patted her on the shoulder, Wang Yang walked to his sweetheart Yiren who was smiling and looking at him not far away, didn't say anything, hugged her with one hand, and lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. A lot of baggage was put down after this kiss, and Jessica exhaled a long breath, isn't it also smooth now? Wang Yang thought that the microphone in his hand was in the way: "Why do I still hold this stupid thing?" Jessica laughed: "Don't talk about it like that! I like it." ”

“OK。 Wang Yang suddenly had a flash of thought, he raised the microphone, turned on the power with a click, opened his throat and shouted with all his might: "Jessica!! thank you for your efforts!! I love you-"

The loud sound suddenly spread far away, and everyone in the entire street and the entire set looked over, silent. Jessica covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, and shrunk her shoulders as if she had just done something bad, she only felt her heart suddenly reach its limit, and said blankly, "I love you too." ”
