With the end of the biggest event of the awards season, the pages of newspapers, magazines, websites and other media were occupied by the 77th Academy Awards winners, red carpets, tidbits and other news content, and "Million Dollar Baby", which won four important awards for Best Picture, Director, Actress and Supporting Actor, became the biggest winner of this year. With 14 nominations for two films, the flame film finally won six golden figures: "Mr. Hughes 2" for Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effects, "Crash" for Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing and Best Original Song.

Four of the six trophies are technical, the heaviest is undoubtedly the best original screenplay, and the rest are like consolation prizes. It's just that there are winners and losers, this time the defeat was not unexpected by the flames, Wang Yang and many media, in terms of academic preferences and themes, "Mr. Hughes 2" can't compete with "Million Dollar Baby"; and the dark horse is a dark horse after all, "Crash" lacks a bit of momentum; in terms of resources and ability to publicize and canvass, Warner Bros. is also better than the flames.

The moment he heard the consequences, Wang Yang was indeed a little stunned, and he didn't know who to scold with a word of "damn it" in his heart, the original 78th Oscar Best Picture "Crash" was moved to the 77th Oscar, so can "Brokeback Mountain", which hit the 78th, make a difference? Do the Academy judges dare to award the best picture to a film that supports gay themes? In any case, Flame Films is ready to fully promote "Brokeback Mountain" and fight for the Oscars next year!

Although the awards show was dreary for most of the day, the shadow of war and host Chris Rock's popularity played a positive role, with an average of 41.5 million viewers across the U.S. tuning in to the event, making it easily the most popular event of the year, following NBC's Golden Globe Awards with 16.8 million, CBS's Grammys with 18.8 million and the People's Choice Awards at 9.9 million.

This year's Oscars hit a five-year high in the 56 most thriving viewing markets, though the overall decline in viewership suggests that the 77th Oscars are more popular in the big cities than in the countryside.

The highest viewing slot of the night came at the award of Best Picture, which was only 1.4 million fewer than the 43.5 million when "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" won last year, and when Magic Young appeared at the awards, the best sound effect that was difficult to touch even 40 million in the past attracted a whopping 41.95 million viewers, which fully demonstrated the explosive popularity of the best director of the married idol faction!

Wang Yang not only did not disappoint the college, but also did not disappoint the 41.95 million viewers in the United States, and his wonderful and humorous speech made him crowned the most popular award presenter, best guest, and guest host of this year's awards ceremony on various media websites, whether it was a poll or a reporter's comment...... The guest host's all-map attack is fine, but the host Chris Rock has become the target of everyone's attention, and the celebrities who have been named have expressed their disgust, especially the joke he made about Jude Law: "Are you trying to find Tom Cruise, but you can only find Jude Law? Who is Jude Law? Why has he been in every movie for the past four years? He can be seen everywhere, sometimes gay, sometimes heterosexual, sometimes American, sometimes British......"

Last year, Jude Law starred in five high-profile films such as "Stealing Hearts", but there was not a single Oscar nomination. Over-the-top jokes have escalated to a humiliating nature, with Chris Rock being retorted by Sean Penn at the awards that night: "Jude Law is a good actor", and John Kelly, the producer of "Stealing Hearts", also said afterwards: "It's nothing to joke, but too much is annoying." Others, such as Tobey Maguire, have also pointed the finger at Locke.

Jude Law did not attend the Oscars that day, he was on vacation with his fiancée Selena in his hometown in England, and when he found out about it, he was named and attacked in such a grand ceremony, becoming the biggest laughing stock, and mocking his acting career! Jude Law did not respond positively, but said in other ways that he was hurt and angry, and he believed that it was the outrageous behavior of the agent that caused him to suffer this humiliation, and according to numerous media reports, he has decided to fire his current agent and change to a new agency so that he can start over.

There are two very different attitudes towards Chris Rock's hosting style in various media, with the New York Times commenting: "Chris Rock desperately wants to be inflammatory. The Washington Post commented: "While Rock is a talented and cynicist comedian, he is surprisingly clumsy as an Oscar presenter and is mentally vulgar." ”…… There were many comments that praised his performance, and Salon magazine said: "Rock was the lifesaver of the Oscars and brought the awards ceremony back to life." ”…… As we all know, he is a die-hard fan of "Friends", and that night he clearly deliberately satirized Brad Pitt, who was a bit of a holiday, and no one else could find any traces, and he would not be disgusted if he divorced or not, but he thought it was very funny. As the popular Pulsatilla Steve Martin made a hilarious joke when he hosted it a few years ago: "We're all gay." ”

Whether the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Salon, the Los Angeles Times, etc., all unanimously praised the wonderful performance of Magic Young in just a few minutes but pushed the atmosphere of the audience to the best of the best, the Los Angeles Times commented: "The married Young is moving towards maturity on the other side, as can be seen from the change in his award speech, his humorous and philosophical views on marriage are worthy of the most interesting best director in history." The San Francisco Chronicle commented with great praise: "Young taught Locke a lesson. ...... vulgar things like "leg hair" are used so humorously by Magic Young, and there are also women's life philosophies that change before and after marriage, but fans are not surprised at all, "Juno" and "The Hangover" have already said everything, and if it is not enough, there is "The Big Bang Theory".

According to Yahoo Entertainment and other media, another rumor that has been spread for a long time is that the academy and ABC intend to invite Magic Young to be the host of the 78th Oscars, and continue to follow the route of teenagers and young people's tastes, you must know that Magic Young is better than Chris Burner in any way, so he will be the first Asian host at the Oscars, and at the age of 26, he will be the youngest host in history...... Fans and fans are very looking forward to supporting this rumor; the academy and ABC think very well, but in fact, there are some toads who want to eat swan meat, and it is difficult to invite him to be the guest of honor, let alone the host! How can a big director and big boss have so much time to rehearse, discuss, and publicize...... Dream on!

People like people with humor, which is one of the reasons why Wang Yang is popular, and many of the 41.95 million viewers that day were amused and interested in "Firefly" at the same time.

This year's Oscars are only 3 hours and 15 minutes long, the shortest since 1986, but their 30-second ads sell for a whopping $1.6 million each. Due to the college's regulations that movie trailers are not allowed to be Oscar advertisements, films such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "Firefly" released in the summer naturally did not have a chance to show their faces. However, like other distribution companies, Flame Films has a series of promotional programs prepared and implemented for them, including posters, outdoor advertising, and trailers for the "NCAA National Championship" and "The Big Bang Theory" on screen.

The time has entered March Madness, and the filming of "Ghost Record 3" has long been completed, and it is now about to be edited, so it can smoothly catch up with the North American release date of April 1, and the new films that will be released on a large scale that week are "Sin City" and "Hara Hairdresser".

Lionsgate, which holds "Ghost Shadow 3" in the palm of its hand, is responsible for the distribution and promotion work, and there is no need to worry about the flame movie, but the flame distribution department is busy enough, and the top priority is "Kung Fu Panda", which will be released globally on May 13, and "Firefly", which will be released worldwide on June 17. The "wealthy" flame movie has been ruthless, not only the publicity cost of "Firefly" has soared, but the treatment of "Kung Fu Panda" is also not bad.

"Kung Fu Panda" has long been promoted around the world, especially in Asia and China. However, unlike the "warm welcome" originally envisioned by the Flame Distribution Department and even Wang Yang, things are not so rosy and optimistic, although he is Chinese, a Chinese who can speak Chinese and can write Chinese characters, many people in Chinese-speaking areas are not interested in this "love letter to Chinese fans", on the contrary, they are very disgusted, thinking that Wang Yang's move is an insult to China's national treasure and a malicious business behavior, and they have shouted to boycott "Kung Fu Panda".

There must be a commercial nature, otherwise how would the entire crew, all the animators of Blue Sky Studio, and the Flame Distribution Department work? Couldn't we have to lose money in order to make money? Is it a great crime for a good movie to have a good performance at the box office?

Wang Yang knows himself and Steve O'Delcock, the whole team has absolutely no insult or anything from beginning to end, they are all members who love and are fascinated by Chinese culture, and the whole movie is sincere and painstaking, if those who are clamoring for "ill-intentioned" have a little understanding of the production process behind "Kung Fu Panda", maybe it will be a lot quieter, the crew has been doing it for three years, and it took more than a year to prepare, studying traditional Chinese culture and kung fu culture...... There are also many experts and scholars engaged in Chinese culture who participate in the work, finalizing the storyline, designing the original painting, and action shots...... Every detail of the whole cartoon is tried to do its best, restoring the style of an ancient Chinese town, even if those are not the focus area of the picture, just the corners and debris that are not noticed by the audience.

If "Kung Fu Panda" is successful, it will make more people around the world interested in pandas, traditional Chinese culture, kung fu, etc., you must know that many of a person's thoughts and hobbies are formed because of the influence they were exposed to in childhood. The "Kung Fu Panda" series can influence countless children. Fans and audiences can see a good movie again, what's so bad? Panda will not be "occupied", and the same excellent movie will have the same excellent performance.

Sometimes, Wang Yang does feel very depressed about this, China is not without funds, not without talents, not without a lack of story sources, Chinese stories contain rich unique elements, emotional elements, "Kung Fu Panda" will have Chinese kung fu, Chinese spirit, master-apprentice relationship, brotherhood, etc., which are different from Europe, He and Chris Weckey and others have talked many times about the rise of China's world status, and the culture of this ancient civilization will sooner or later attract the attention and love of people around the world.

There are funds, talents, stories, and any technology can be learned and improved, but he lacks the patience and professionalism that is most needed to make a movie, and he lacks the attitude of learning how to tell a story, and always says that he is modest, where is he humble? He thought that the 08 version of "Kung Fu Panda" in his mind was boycotted by some audiences because of Steven Spielberg's complex factors; he didn't expect that the flame & blue sky version of "Kung Fu Panda" would be like this, and some swearing words were even more ugly, why?

He thinks that one day, there will be a production company in China that is willing to spend three years and painstakingly produce an animated film, so that the people who are clamoring today will no longer shout any resistance, and top animation talents such as Xu Chengyi will also return, which is the key to the problem.

Fortunately, only some people shouted for boycott, and most people's voices were still rational, and the audience was also looking forward to this love letter during the investigation, which made Flame Movies and Wang Yang still full of confidence in "Kung Fu Panda".

At 21:45 on Monday night, February 28, Beijing time last month, CCTV-6 broadcast the grand ceremony of the 77th Oscars, a total of three Chinese people took the stage that night, Wang Yang, Yo-Yo Ma and Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Xiaoding, who was nominated for best cinematography in "Ambush on All Sides", was defeated when he arrived at the scene. This made the Chinese media quite pondering, the two men were both Chinese-Americans, Zhang Ziyi's expression was stiff and he only recited two sentences, how to distribute the layout? After thinking about it, the media still focused on the magic of foreign media.

Fantastic Jan's wonderful speech, Jenn Kezmerik's thanks, Natalie Portman's "confession...... In Tianya Forum, Baidu Tieba and other lively gathering places, Magic Yang is the biggest focus of the deserved, although there are also many black activities to explode.

Although four of the Flame's six statuettes were technical awards, the box office was not completely unhelpful, and in mid-March, "Mr. Hughes 2" and "Crash", which had been released on a large scale for more than 10 weeks, were already a foregone conclusion. "Citizen Hughes" has recently been drawn offline, with the North American box office fixed at $133 million, and the overseas box office is currently 86.82 million, leaving only 30 million from the global box office of 250 million for the flames, and there is definitely hope to reach it.

The award-winning "Crash" has more than 200 theaters to be screened, the North American box office is 57.19 million, and the gradually released overseas has 21.68 million, according to analysts' predictions, the global box office is expected to exceed 100 million, and there will be 90 million + excellent performance, compared to its 20 million production cost (buyout fee), Flame Movies is the undoubted winner, and the coveted film library has one more film with an Oscar halo.

The 2005 release list of Flame Movies is full of six films, and in 2006 there were "Ice Age 3", "The Hangover 3", "Furious Speed 2", "Saw 4" and "Deadly Magic". An 80% sequel is not the ultimate goal of the Flames for '06, except for the promising "The Green Hornet" scheduled for '06 or '07, the latest plan of the Flame Production Department is to lobby Judy Kramer to bring the famous stage play "Mamma Mia!" to the big screen.

"Mamma Mia!" as a new stage play that is popular all over the world, from the first premiere in London in 1999 to thousands of performances around the world, in "Chicago" won the Oscar for Best Picture and the revival of the musical musical, of course, it is not without studios, but "Mamma Mia!" is like the tradition of Broadway classic musicals that are not arbitrarily licensed and adapted, maintaining the independence and uniqueness of the stage version.

Producer Judy Kramer has faced lobbying from studios large and small for years, but she has refused to give up any rights to Mamma Mia!, saying: "It's true that there are musicals that have become more popular around the world when they are adapted into films, but once the audience walks out of the cinema disappointed, it's hard to find them in the theater." It's not that she doesn't want "Mamma Mia!" to be put on the big screen, but she doesn't dare to be rash and casual, for fear of burying this classic stage play.

The "Song and Dance Youth" trilogy, "Sweetheart", and "Dance Out of My Life" are all popular among young people, which is very in line with the youthful and lively and enthusiastic style of "Mamma Mia!" Coupled with the sincere lobbying of the magical boss, what is Judy Kramer afraid of? Flame is very confident that she can impress her and obtain the film adaptation rights.

"As soon as I'm done with Firefly, I'm going to start working on a new film to direct it. A few days ago, Wang Yang told Mark Slant that this is a small-budget independent film in the modern romance genre, which is scheduled to be released this Christmas.

Mark Slant was almost completely accustomed to the "whims" of the young boss, almost almost, and he was still slightly taken aback, because ...... There have always been some film critics who have pointed out that there is a lack of enthusiasm for chasing girls in Magic Young's works, that the love story stays in high school, and that there will never be a kiss scene...... He suddenly wants to make a romance film? was questioned about the small-budget independent film that he "will never make again"?

"Yes. Wang Yang simply replied to Mark Slant neatly, and told him that he would keep it secret for the time being, and there was no need to release the news to the outside world, so as to reduce the attention of fans and fans to direct the 9th work "Firefly", on the other hand, as long as "Firefly" can be a big success, in the face of the Christmas file in just half a year, this movie will have a high 1+1 effect as soon as it is promoted. Mark Slunt naturally understands that just write "The latest work of the director of "Firefly" on the poster, this is the charm of the director, the question is how many people still don't know Magic Young?

In the dimly lit editing and projection room, Wang Yang, Margaret and Lee Smith quietly looked back at the ending scene of "Firefly", thinking about the options for the theatrical version.

After months of hard work, the theatrical version of "Firefly" full of more than 1,800 special effects shots is about to be cut, and the total length of the film is 155 minutes, not counting the end credits, and it is exactly 2.5 hours. For the footage, the story, everything contained in the 155-minute video...... Margaret praised and praised, the whole movie started from **, while going through a strong and powerful foreshadowing, showing a world full of unique atmosphere;

"The Battle of New Shanxi", the biggest decisive battle in the whole film, has no soundtrack, and it makes people tremble with blood; and this very shocking ending, which echoes everything that the whole movie wants to tell, 154 minutes ago, before the last line, the audience could not expect this scene, and then was hit by a trace of direct depression! Margaret can't wait to participate in the work of the DVD review track, and can't wait to praise: "This is the magic Young!"

Now they're talking about the last shot before they go into the credits, whether it ends with a close-up of the characters or a long shot, and the ending doesn't change either way, but the subtleties are different, and the director makes the final choice.

"If we choose a close-up shot, because the time is short, the impact is stronger...... Wang Yang gently pinched his chin, stared at the picture on the screen, the two versions were played a few times, but said: "Long shot plan! This is more artistic conception and worth savoring...... So be it!"

"OK!" Margaret and Lee Smith have no objections, and "Firefly", which ends with close-ups and long shots, is definitely a classic sci-fi Star Wars movie, a classic among classics. Seeing Wang Yang standing up and stretching his waist and exhaling, Margaret comforted: "Director, it's hard work! I've been tired for so many days, let's take advantage of this weekend to rest?" Wang Yang suddenly shrugged his shoulders with laughter: "Thank you, I'm fine." He pursed his lips and thought silently excitedly, "The weekend is finally here, tonight...... Haha!"

Entering March, Jessica's acute nephritis has been fully recovered for 5 months, although it is not half a year, but this month is the last chance to give birth to a baby in 05, and the expected date of pregnancy in mid-March will be in December, so the two have long said that they will kill this month. So since the arrival of Jessica's old friend in February, in order to ensure "quality and quantity", Wang Yang has been in Amitabha Buddha for half a few days before the friend period, the safety period and the danger period, and has been storing energy to prepare for this war.

In the elegantly lit bedroom, which is full of charming and romantic atmosphere, Jessica, who has just finished bathing and is ready, walks in wrapped in a bath towel and smiling sweetly.

"Hey. Wang Yang, who was sitting on the bed, wore his upper body, and when he saw the figure of his beloved wife, his strong muscles suddenly tensed, only to see her untie the bath towel, her hot body was exposed, her upper body was only wearing a lilac lace bra, and her lower body was only a pair of lilac lace short boxer briefs, and her flat lower abdomen was tied with a silver navel nail in the shape of a water droplet, which was very sexy, but her face was as beautiful as an angel, he had been holding it for many days, and when he saw the familiar long legs and hips, he had an irrepressible beastly impulse.

Jessica over there met his burning eyes, her watery eyes rolled, and she responded a little shyly, "Hey." ”

Both of them could feel the difference tonight, this feeling was very special, not like the usual sweetness or passion, nor like the first time a long time ago, but there was a shyness and messy heartbeat that had not been tasted for a long time. Jessica, who has always called herself "the best wife in the world", didn't know what to do, she took a few steps closer to the bed, stroked her brown hair with both hands and shook it seductively, and winked seductively: "I'll dance for you." ”

"Sweetheart, come here!" Wang Yang beckoned to her restlessly, and laughed with both hands open: "I'm full of energy!" Jessica grinned, she walked up to the bed in two steps of three steps, threw herself into his arms, and said in a shy voice like the first time: "Then you teach me ......" Wang Yang kissed her lips: "Of course." ”

He caressed her hot body, kissed the two soft lips, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and the two of them gradually collapsed on the bed......
