"Welcome to the 75th Academy Awards. "At 21:30 in the evening, CCTV6 movie channel will broadcast "Oscar Night" on time, which will be broadcast in Chinese dubbing. Amid warm applause, Steve Martin, dressed in a black suit, walked out of the stage and greeted the opening speech, while the voice actor also said in a calm tone: "I'm glad to see that the organizers have lowered the bar for this awards gala, even the traditional red carpet has been canceled, if you don't already know, I will bring this message to you by the way." ”…… The long opening speech was cut out of a lot of "unsuitable" content, and because the on-site information was very complex, the voice actor who served as the simultaneous interpreter was not a film professional, so the dubbing effect was terrible, and the audience who didn't know the pun didn't know what was funny about Steve Martin's carefully prepared laughter, and the laughter off the stage often seemed a little inexplicable.

However, most of the audience is here to see Zhang Yimou, Wang Yang, and the gorgeous beauty of this event itself.

"Wang Yang also came, I thought he went on a trip again, and he avoided me last time. The voice actor translated Steve Martin's words, and the TV screen suddenly appeared and swept the smiling face of Wang Yang, who was sitting in the audience. Then the part of the audience in front of the TV that didn't know Magic Yang all had a question: "Hey, who is this?", "Wang Yang? is that Chinese director?", "Who is the woman sitting next to him? so beautiful!" ...... The subsequent awards ceremony cameras focused on Wang Yang from time to time, especially the awards that "District 9" competed for, and the interest of audiences who did not know him became more and more intense.

Wang Yang, District 9. The voice actor shouted out Harrison Ford's name, and in the midst of screaming applause, Wang Yang on the TV screen was startled, kissed the excited beauty next to him, hugged the people around him and walked onto the stage. The fans and audience who knew him all laughed happily, and finally saw how Magic Young won the award! People who didn't know him, and the audience who watched the Oscars for the first time were stunned, the best director was this young Chinese!?

"I don't mean anything else, why isn't it a lady who presents me with an award?" With bursts of laughter and applause under the stage, Wang Yang held the trophy and said a speech, and the voice actor followed up with the translation: "Everyone is in a hurry tonight, although everyone is very busy......" Listening to those crazy laughter, many viewers who have not read the original text and translation on the Internet are very puzzled, what are those people laughing at?

Although Wang Yang's sense of humor was not fully exerted in the broadcast of CCTV6, whether it is a senior, ordinary, or lively movie fan audience, everyone knows that there is such a very young and handsome Chinese best director. Of course, not only because of "Oscar Night", but also because of the overwhelming news reports, the Internet, newspapers, CCTV and other TV channels...... Coupled with the fact that Yao Mingling has produced a large number of young people who like basketball and the NBA in China, and the NBA and Hollywood are not far away, these factors have skyrocketed to the point of popularity of Magic Yang.

Not to mention Hong Kong and Taiwan, where the film entertainment industry is already very developed, fans and fans in both places are screaming and shouting excitedly, TVB channels, ATV channels, etc. have carried out program-style special reports, and the TV screen is full of Wang Yang's data images.

The female narrator introduced: "Speaking of his name, Wang Yang once said an interesting thing, his mother thinks that 'young represents vitality and beauty', and calling young directly is so special; and his Chinese name was originally called Qingyang, taken from the 'Qingyang Wanxi' in the Book of Poetry, he said that because his father had half a bucket of water for Chinese culture, he was later reminded that it was to describe women, so he changed it to Yang." ”

"When I was a child, Wang Yang was very naughty, and he often had a headache for his parents because ......of fights" On the TVB channel, Wang Yang's airport grand occasion when he came to Hong Kong last year was inserted, and he said with a smile: "Thank you so much for your support, I'm so happy to be here! I love Hong Kong, bye!" And Taiwan's Eastern Sen TV also reported the news: "The 6 films directed by Wang Yang won more than 2.8 billion US dollars at the global box office and 1 Oscar for Best Director ......"

Japan, South Korea, and Europe and other countries in Asia, while focusing on the Iraq War, are also reporting the results of the 75th Oscars and the youngest best director winner, Wang Yang.

In the United States, the household rating of ABC 23 lasted more than three and a half hours, 20.4 percent, inevitably setting the lowest record since the first Oscar telebroadcast in 1953, and even lower than last year's slot low. Before the 106.7 million TV-owning households in the United States, the average 33.05 million people watched the Oscars when converted into the number of people watching the Oscars, which is also the lowest since the average viewership was counted in 1974.

However, Wang Yang was not left out at all, and the next day he had received a lot of interview invitations from many media magazines, such as "Los Angeles Times", "San Francisco Chronicle", "Movie Weekly", "Variety", ...... A few of them are treated like cover characters, and there are plenty of website interviews and some impatient film invitations, and while studios know he likes to take "selfies" and invest in the full amount, it's always good to try your luck.

Knowing that he intends to make a sci-fi theme of the spaceship type, Paramount contacted him and wanted to give him the 11th part of "Star Trek" completely, and if he likes to shoot "Enterprise", "Enterprise", "Original Series" and "Original Series", and start a new prequel!

Wang Yang naturally said repeatedly, "No, thank you." It's not that he hates the story of Star Trek, but he doesn't have much interest in its very clean and streamlined style for the time being, and its sci-fi worldview and spaceship style can't be changed.

In the days following this Oscar, he felt like he was constantly bombarded with interviews and surrounded by questions, as if everyone was talking about him...... After doing an interview with the Los Angeles media, he agreed to a telephone interview with China's Phoenix Satellite TV, and then so that netizens could also see it, he also gladly accepted an exclusive interview with Sina.com.

"Yang, when will you officially go to China?" asked the female reporter on the other side of the phone, and the so-called formal probably refers to appearing in the media, arranging fan meetings, etc. Wang Yang, who was sitting at the computer desk in the study, thought for a while, then replied with a smile on the phone: "I think there is a chance soon, you know that "MIT-21-team" will be released this summer, yes, I will take the crew members to China to meet you, I am very grateful for the support of Chinese fans." ”

Next, he talked about the new sci-fi work that the public is most concerned about, Wang Yang pressed his forehead, and smiled helplessly at the telephone: "I don't know." Everyone wants me to say, 'The second sci-fi film will be released this summer,' but that's not possible. You'll see! But please give me some time. ”

Regarding Wang Yang's "MIT-21-team" publicity plan in China revealed in Sina's interview, fans in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan feel that it is expected, because the Chinese director + Chinese actor, the movie tells the legendary story of the Chinese God of Gamblers, how can it not pay attention to the Asian market......? Time passed day by day, the newspaper news page of this year's Oscar tidbits, reviews, interviews and other follow-up reports became less and less, the calendar entered April, the Iraq war once again dominated almost all pages, in addition to the NCAA national championships, NBA events, etc., this film industry event officially came to an end in praise, criticism, controversy.

April 1st is April Fool's Day, and there are many fewer people joking in the shadow of war, Wang Yang wrote a fool's diary on his blog titled "I'm going to play the male protagonist of "The Demon Wears Prada"!", the reason is "looks as handsome as Wang Yang!", "Acting is as strong as Tom Hanks!", "Jessica's boyfriend!", "Win the Oscar for Best Actor!", etc., and finally noted "Happy April Fool's Day to everyone." ”

"Jan, I'm pregnant. When he saw Jessica's lips pursed and her eyes calm, Wang Yang was really shocked, pregnant?! Jessica said again, "It should be the night of the Oscars." As soon as Wang Yang heard it, she knew that she was joking on April Fool's Day, although it was a little crazy that day, but she knew that she was pregnant in less than ten days?

"Don't joke about it, even if it's April Fool's Day! Oh help, someone's beating someone!"...... But the happiness of this day did not last to the end, at night Wang Yang suddenly heard a bad news, his first reaction was: "It's an April Fool's Day joke, right?" But no, Chinese superstar Leslie Cheung committed suicide and fell to his death. Wang Yang felt sad and full of regret, Leslie Cheung is a Hong Kong artist he admires and loves very much, "The True Color of Heroes", "East Evil and West Poison" and other movies are very good, and the songs are also very good, but he passed away like this.

That night, Wang Yang quietly listened to a lot of Leslie Cheung's songs, which was very sad and regrettable, but he could only accept this fact. The next day continued to be busy with work and life, and recently he has been busy with the preparation of "The Devil Wears Prada", but he did not take on much work this time, just the script and director, most of the producer's preparation work is done by others, and it has already started after buying the adaptation rights.

"Amazing Jan, I've been thinking about it these days, this character is very attractive, and the lines of the script are wonderful......" Meryl Streep received an official invitation from the crew of "The Demon Wears Prada" a few days ago, and also got a complete script and Miranda's character script, she was very satisfied with it, it was Andrea's change and growth process, it was Miranda's slow revelation, and the two characters broke out at the end of the story.

It is also very profound in terms of themes about life choices, human nature, etc., this is not an ordinary commercial film, it has the potential to be a good movie, and the person who directed it has just won the Oscar for Best Director. So Meryl Streep thought about it and couldn't find any reason to refuse, she was very interested, a good script magical director...... Besides, she has absolute confidence, even if the movie gets a bad review in the end, the problem will not be with her.

"I agreed to the invitation. Hearing Meryl Streep's serious voice on the other side of the phone, Wang Yang couldn't help but say "wow", walking around the living room with a microphone, Danny happily following beside him, he smiled and said: "This is so exciting! You know that when I was a child, I watched you act, and now I can actually make movies together, unbelievable!"

"Hehe, young man, are you saying I'm old?" Meryl Streep smiled softly, and Wang Yang laughed repeatedly: "No, no, no, it doesn't mean that at all. Meryl over there said, "But I have a request, I won't start until this war is over, and I know you're fast, but I have a rule." "I won't be away from home for more than 2 weeks, and if I'm going to go around for filming, I want to have a good itinerary," she laughs. ”

"Yes, of course, there is no problem!" Wang Yang agreed without thinking, because there is indeed no problem, there are scenes of many fashionable cities in Paris, Milan, New York and other places in the movie, but ...... Wang Yang smiled at the microphone: "Except for New York, I plan to use green screen to make those exterior scenes, but you know that they look like the real thing." ”

For those shots that are basically walking through the streets or scanning iconic buildings, green screens can save time, effort and money, and they work just as well, those exterior scenes are just interspersed to create an atmosphere, and there is no need to really run around, and the main scenes of the shooting table are almost all indoors.

"As for the ...... war" Wang Yang paused and thought about it, he naturally knew that Meryl's "end" did not include the post-war period, that is, when it was no longer broadcast on TV, he said: "I think the war will be over this month, and we can start in May." "Although the Allied forces are now in a difficult situation, Iraq will certainly not be able to hold out for long after increasing its forces and changing its strategy, because they are sure that they are too far behind.

Once a general offensive is launched, Baghdad will be cut off from power and water, and there will be no communications, which will be tantamount to a deaf and blind man standing there for others to fight. Therefore, as long as the Allies have completed the task of dividing their forces and encircling them, the wartime of this war will be over.

"Then I have no problem. Meryl Streep said in a happy tone, and Wang Yang smiled: "Well, I hope to have a good cooperation." Of course, the rest of the remuneration will be left to the producer and the agent to negotiate in detail.

"The Demon Wears Prada" is scheduled to start filming in early May, in addition to waiting for the end of the Iraq War, it is also because it will take some time for the crew to complete the preparations, the most important thing is to finalize the characters, prop masters, art directors and other teams to deconstruct the scene, etc., and the members of the crew are basically Wang Yang's old team, of course, excluding a few fashion consultants.

Wang Yang didn't plan to bother with these preparations, he had already assigned all the production affairs, and at the same time, there was nothing surreal about this film, if you were dissatisfied with the scene layout such as the office, you just need to make minor adjustments when filming on the set, this time his identity is more like a pure director. He only cares about the selection of the characters, and the rest is left to the casting team.

This April, Wang Yang plans to devote all his time to editing "mit-21-team", and cut the theatrical version of the film with Margaret Goodspeed, so that in May, he can shoot "The Devil Wears Prada" with peace of mind, and "mit-21-team" has enough time to complete the post-production work such as soundtrack color grading.

After confirming the joining of Meryl Streep, Flame Films announced the news, Meryl will play the heroine "Demon Boss" Miranda! In the increasingly tense war, this news is not too eye-catching, but it still attracts the attention of film entertainment media, fans and fans, and the opinions of the media are almost unanimous.

Yahoo Entertainment, which "will be overtaken by Google sooner or later," commented: "If Wonder Young can't get Meryl Streep a 14th Oscar nomination, an 11th Best Actress nomination, it's a huge failure." ”
