"I've been on the left for three years! I'm waiting for an opportunity to fight for a return! I don't want to prove that I'm more powerful than others! I just want to talk more than others, I don't want to see Zuo Jiye, I will return by myself!"

After hanging up the phone, the study was quiet for a while, Wang Yang smirked, and Wu Yusen responded to him with a classic line from "The True Color of Heroes": "I went wrong before, but now it's not too late to go back to the right path, right?" From the tone of his voice, Wang Yang could feel the passion and determination of this old guy, no matter what, he believed in Wu Yusen once! He believed that the king of guns would definitely be able to get back the lost glory.

Although Mark Miller is a very famous cartoonist, there are too many similar short comics, the setting and story of "League of Assassins" are not amazing, and there are few examples of great success in comic book adaptations except for Surprise and DC's superhero themes, so whether Flame wants to or not, it is estimated that no company will be interested in participating in the investment of "League of Assassins", and the director column of the cast list says "John Woo".

Wang Yang and Flame believe in John Woo, but it does not mean blind trust, if the old guy does not perform well in the preparation period of "League of Assassins", like no enthusiasm, no aura, or not suitable for the film, Flame Movies will also reconsider the director candidate.

In fact, "League of Assassins" is just a very simple and ordinary story, with the shadow of Chinese martial arts films everywhere, waste wood, adventures, gangs, life experience, chivalrous deeds, revenge for killing his father, killing his father with his own hands, truth, revenge...... This is almost "94 One-Armed Knife Love". The biggest promotional selling point of the original version, "Bullet Turn", is to make the bullet into the dart flying knife hidden weapon effect of martial arts films, and in reality, the bullet will still fly in a straight line.

However, the movie has the art of cinema, and the 2008 version of "League of Assassins" plays bullet time in slow motion, bullet turns, bullet collisions, as well as drag racing, violence, black humor, and Wesley's last "double guns".

It's not surprising that there are two guns, because no matter the 08 version of "League of Assassins" director Timo Beckmanbetov, "Spy Shadow" (Universal originally planned to invite John Woo to direct, John Woo took over "The Wind Whisperer"), "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" director Doug Liman, "Reservoir Dogs", "Kill Bill" Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez of the Mexican trilogy, Michael Davis of "Bodyguards" of the ...... There are good movies and bad movies, and the directors are deeply influenced by John Woo.

Wang Yang is the same, he likes to use slow motion, some cool, bloody and violent techniques, and has also been commented by the film media as having the flavor of Zhang Che and John Woo "in the same vein".

But if John Woo can't turn over and prove himself again, then in a few years, maybe the action movie director with countless fans will sigh: "I haven't been a big brother for many years." Wang Yang doesn't think that when John Woo has creative passion, he will not be able to make a "League of Assassins", Timo Beckmanbetov has Timo Beckmanbetov's cool methods, and John Woo also has John Woo's cool methods.

Dealing with shots, handling stories...... Each director has his own style, for example, if Wang Yang directs, on this script story, he thinks that his martial arts film will have "friendship", Wesley was in the training stage of the Brotherhood, Fox, Professor Sloan and others were strict and cruel to him, but on the other hand, there was some residual warmth, Wesley was bullied and humiliated in the past, but in the Brotherhood he found the warmth of home, friendship, family, and love.

It was a few high-fives of a shoulder, a big smile, and he treated Professor Sloan like his father, with other brothers and lovers, and it turned out that everything was a lie, and he was used by the Brotherhood to kill his own father. Then one of them in the revenge stage killed the Brotherhood, killed the brothers and friends who used to be drunk and talked about one by one, and beat them to minced meat, Fawkes died, and killed Sloan.

This style and atmosphere is more martial arts, but he thinks it is fun and shocking.

This is just one of the details, it may be the addition and deletion of several shots, but it makes a big difference in the film. Wang Yang's director may not have so much black humor, but he will explore more in terms of human conflicts, which is the director's personal style.

However, the production of "League of Assassins" has nothing to do with him, he does not direct, produce, write or act, because "Firefly" must never be messed up, and he does not want to be distracted on the screen side. But he still wants to provide some opinions to John Woo for reference, so he should have the title of "planning producer", which does not prevent him from taking advantage of the leisurely evening of the holiday to think about the starring candidates.

"Be a brother......" After thinking for a while, Wang Yang stood up and imitated the clip of Brother Pony being shot at the end of "The True Color of Heroes", his eyes widened and his head trembled, pushing Song Zijie in his hand, and muttering to himself: "Now, the blood explodes!" He smiled and slurred a few times and walked out of the study. If he could, he would love to let Wu Yanzu play Wesley, and the 08 version of James McAvoy and Wu Yanzu are really very similar.

However, not to mention that this is about John Woo's "life and death", lacking the realistic persuasiveness of Jeff Ma, the Chinese actor is not suitable for "League of Assassins" and this market for the time being.

The prototype of the comic book character of the heroine Fox is actually Halle Berry, and Mark Miller is naturally most eager to invite Halle Berry to join, and the 08 version is played by Angelina Jolie at the end. Not to mention that she is now going to join "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", directed by John Woo, the big poison? Wang Yang also hopes that there will be other candidates, who can be invited to audition? Eliza Dushku? He is very optimistic about "Fury Speed", even if it is bleak, there will be a sequel; Michelle Rodriguez? Wild and fierce enough, but not stunning and beautiful enough...... "Hi, Jesse." Coming to the living room, Wang Yang said hello to Jessica, who was sitting on the sofa smiling and reading a magazine, she was a very suitable candidate for Fox, sexy and hot, and her weakness was that she was too sweet and not strong enough. "Firefly" will be filmed in the first half of next year, and "League of Assassins" will probably not start the camera until after the summer vacation, and the two schedules can be taken care of. The question is whether her audition is suitable, and the bigger premise is whether she is interested or not.

"Young. Jessica smiled sweetly with longing, and saw some pictures of babies printed on the pages of "Parents" magazine, Wang Yang sat down next to her, looked at the magazine a few times, and was also amused by the cute baby: "It's so cute." Jessica looked at him and then looked at the magazine, suddenly patted his thigh a few times, and said excitedly with anticipation in her eyes: "Honey, after we get married, shall we have a baby?"

Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled, stared at the chubby baby in the magazine, hugged her and asked, "Do you want to be a mother?" Jessica leaned on his shoulder, her black eyes were full of tenderness, and said softly, "You know mine." Wang Yang also felt a surge of excitement in his heart, but he was a little worried about her: "But you are only 22 years old, you will be 23 years old next year, and you will be a mother at the age ......of 24?"

"You know me!" Jessica interrupted him anxiously, staring into his eyes, getting married, having a baby, sweet home, that's the best thing!

"Okay, you also know my ......" Knowing her mind, Wang Yang immediately kissed her gently on the cheek, Jessica smiled happily, and said this! Sure enough, he laughed and said: "Jesse, in fact, since Juno's time, I have wanted to have a baby." It's just that we're both too young and too busy to be suitable, but now we're getting married, and being a parent at 25 or 24 is also suitable, and we're all ready. Really?"

Jessica nodded with a smile, biting her lip to suppress the excitement and joy in her heart, hearing his words, she hurriedly said: "Of course! I was ready when I was 8 years old!" Wang Yang was stunned, and pretended to be surprised with a smile: "Oh yes? But at that time, you didn't have anything here, how to solve the baby's eating problem?" Jessica pressed his hand on his chest, held her breath and asked, "The answer is?" Wang Yang smiled: "The answer is, after "Firefly" is finished, we will make a baby!"

"Oh......" Jessica sighed softly, taking a deep breath like a stunned person, baby, baby! Her voice grew louder and louder: "Oh, oh my, oh my God!, wow, Jesus, oh my ......" Wang Yang hugged her hard, looked at her shining eyes, and chuckled, "Yes, OMG." Jessica grabbed his hand, blinking her eyes, and gradually became excited and anticipated: "How can I be, ho?

She stood up excitedly, jumping up and down with her hands outstretched, and screaming with a crisp smile: "Oh ho - I'm going to be a wife, I'm going to be a mother!"

Seeing her crazy appearance, Wang Yang already knew that there was no need to ask about the audition of the heroine of "League of Assassins", and the filming would start in the second half of next year, would this mother be interested? At that time, she was touching her stomach every day. He smiled and said, "Hey, be careful, don't fall and hurt your baby! ”

"I know!" Jessica continued to jump around releasing her excited energy, then jumped up behind the sofa and slammed it on Wang Yang's thigh, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her head turned around, and asked with great interest: "After we have a baby, where will we settle down?"

"Hmm!" Wang Yang naturally wanted to move back to San Francisco to settle down, but his work decided that he couldn't leave Los Angeles for a while, and the Beverly Hills residence, Santa Monica, or Malibu Villa seemed too vulgar, looking at the Yiren in his arms, he frowned and asked: "How about the North Pole? Jessica said angrily: "DUDE, I'm serious!" Wang Yang said seriously: "I'm also serious, even if we run naked every day, we won't go to the gossip newspapers." Jessica rolled her eyes: "It's just becoming an ice sculpture." ”

"Wonder of the world, isn't it......" Wang Yang said and stopped laughing, looking at her sweet smiling face, playing with something in her hand, the string in his heart kept being played, and suddenly said: "Hey, didn't you just ask HO? I'll tell you HO, the way to make a baby!" Jessica's beautiful eyes glared: "Here?"

"Here, now, we, not for the first time!"

Soon December 29th, 30th, and 31st were all in the past, and 2003 came to an end. In this year, many major events happened in the world, such as the outbreak of the US-Iraq war in March, the global outbreak of the SARS virus in April, and the successful launch of Shenzhou 5 carrying Yang Liwei in October...... There are also a lot of new things happening in the film industry this year, the 75th Oscars gave birth to the youngest actor and best director at the same time, the "Lord of the Rings" series ushered in the final chapter, and Wonder Young continued to create box office miracles...... For Wang Yang, the year of 23 is destined to be one of the most unforgettable years in his life, he successfully proposed to his beloved girlfriend who has been in love for 5 years, won the Oscar, filmed and launched two movies "MIT-21-TEAM" and "The Demon Wears Prada", I feel more comfortable in playing cool and telling stories, etc., and my abilities in all aspects are soaring, landing on the small screen, the Flame Group has been fully developed, and by the end of the year, I will have a big battle with film critics ...... "Happy New Year!" With the ringing of the New Year's bell, the joyful laughter and blessings of countless people around the world, 2004 has arrived! This New Year, Wang Yang and Jessica are in Los Angeles, enjoying the holiday with their family and friends, and happily ushering in 2004, and the two will inevitably have a more memorable year.

After the Christmas and New Year holidays, a lot of work, wedding preparations came to the fore, and there were various invitations to attend the awards ceremony, and Wang Yang and Jessica returned to the busy track of life. In addition to preparing to invite guests, Jessica is happily immersed in the pre-wedding links such as sorority and gift showers, and Wang Yang accompanies her to choose wedding rings, order wedding dresses, and promote the preparation of "Firefly".

There is still some time for the 61st Golden Globe Awards to be held on January 25, but the North American box office charts from December 26th to January 1st have come to fruition, "The Lord of the Rings 3" won the championship with 90.55 million, and in the following holidays after January 2-8, it continued to win with 35.88 million; After two weeks of fighting to win a runner-up and third place, "The Devil Wears Prada" swept away another 49.47 million and 22.26 million US dollars, and the total North American box office reached 204 million in four weeks.

Magical Young's 6th film that proudly surpassed the North American box office of 200 million;What's even more terrifying, more annoying to the blacks, and even more regretful to the critics who participated in the war of words Why didn't they shut up earlier, the overseas box office of "TDP" increased by 68.53 million and 55.34 million, and the total overseas box office soared to 251.8 million US dollars, and the global box office was 455.8 million!

"Do you think TDP will have 400 million global box office? I think it will. ”

The public seemed to hear the crisp sound of a clanging bell, the sound of those arrogant high-heeled shoes, and the crazy laughter of Miracle Yang, which has become a nightmare for many critics, and even scared into a cold sweat in the middle of the night. However, they did not avoid the reports and jokes of the media in the same industry, and this much-watched war of words had the first result, and the fashion cruise ship easily passed 400 million, and 500 million is not far away.

"Everything is under Magic Young's control. Yahoo Entertainment's "TDP" war of words feature updated the latest battle situation with this sentence as the title, accompanied by a picture of Wang Yang holding his chin and smiling at the Staples Center scene of last year's Christmas War, and the design line next to it reads: "Look at you fools!"

The article compares this war of words to a basketball game, with critics and praisers chasing each other with the basketball of "TDP", and critics keep saying that Miraculous Yang is stupid, pathetic, pathetic, pitiful, arrogant, and idiotic...... "Now we know who wins and who loses, and the opponent has fallen behind by a large score and can't stop the positive side from winning the game." Throughout the game, the coach was surprisingly calm, he knew everything well, and the wild words he said became true one by one. ”

"Maybe he's in LOL right now, see who's stupid? It's a really amazing development, he's completely aware of the box office potential of TDP, he knows what audiences are going to love, he knows what the consequences of making such an office story into what it's like to be a light comedy now, he knew it from the beginning, he's more sober than anyone else, he wants to understand the market. Perhaps we can criticize him from this aspect, he chose the shallow nature of the present for the sake of high box office, rather than serious topics. This is again the tone of film critics. ”

BOX, Rotten Tomatoes, The Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood ...... The website and media have reported "Miraculous Victory", Wang Yang's majesty is enough, without Roger Albert's thumb, but he has received two thumbs up from tens of millions of movie fans, but he also has a relationship with some film critics, which means stricter treatment, can "Firefly" make these film critics become grass on the wall? No one knows now.

However, this war of words has nothing to do with the actors, and the three leading actresses whose acting skills have been widely praised have risen to a big level in popularity with this fashion storm that has swept the world.

20-year-old Emily Blunt has become a hot and promising star, Meryl Streep routinely receives award nominations, which is the highest-grossing work of her acting career, breaking box office records in both North America, previously held by "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer" with 106 million, the global box office was 182 million in 1995's "Covered Bridge Dreams", and "TDP" made her her first hit the 200 million, 300 million, 400 million clubs, and the expected 500 million.

From a commercial point of view at the box office, with the impetus of Miracle Young, the 54-year-old Meryl Streepda exploded with unprecedented power, and reached her personal peak in her old age. Regardless of the word-of-mouth of "TDP", many media outlets have given Streep praise such as "one of the most discerning decisions", "one of the wisest", and "major acting turns" to Streep's choice of performance.

In 1999, "Youth Musical" was 201 million/411 million, in 2000 "Youth Musical" was 101 million/221 million, in 2001 "Youth Musical" was 125 million/257 million, in 2002 "Sweetheart" was 83.4 million/170 million, and in 2003 "The Demon Wears Prada" is currently 204 million/455.8 million.

With an average of 302 million global box office per movie starring, one of the most popular female stars of the post-80s young generation, one of them can be removed without Natalie Portman, but there is no controversy about the new selection of the sexiest post-80s, the most attractive, and the most wanted to date women in various magazines, although the media and the public know that such gorgeous and magical achievements are inseparable from Wang Yang's "protection and growth", and he is even often teased by the media that "he can only act for his boyfriend" , but Angel Jessica Alba still goes her own way.

In the newly launched 2004, Jessica, who didn't seem to have a film appointment, naturally got the invitation to audition for the heroine of the movie, the heaviest of which was "Sin City", which was originally scheduled to start in April this year, and "Fantastic Four", which started in August.

"No interest at all. ”
