Chapter 320: Crazy Courage
"Rachel, you should be fixing this TV!
The spacious and clean living room is very elegantly furnished, with bright sunlight streaming in through the window, and Wang Yang and Jessica are sitting on the wooden sofa watching TV. Although "Fantastic Four" is in the filming period, in order to cooperate with the exposure and publicity, Rachel McAdams also found time to appear at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Holding a fruit bowl full of fresh and moist fruit, Rachel replied as she walked from the kitchen into the living room, glancing helplessly at the TV: "I'm so busy, I've been forgetting to call someone to fix it." Jessica was a little surprised: "So dangerous? Oh yes, did you use a lightning outlet?" Rachel put the fruit bowl on the coffee table, sat down, pulled the blonde hair from her forehead, and shook her head, "No?"
Listening to the noisy rustling sound of this Emerson TV set, and the screen images flickering from time to time, Wang Yang became more and more unable to see it, picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, and suddenly said angrily: "No! Not to mention TV fans, for an ordinary TV viewer, not having a well-functioning TV is a heinous crime! I really can't imagine that if the ball game was about to shoot the lore ball, it suddenly said no! I guess I would smash the TV. Jessica imagined it for a moment, and suddenly took a deep breath: "I'll try to hold back." "Game 7 of the Finals, third overtime, Lakers vs. Pistons!", "Then smash it!"
is to know that Rachel is a loyal "Prison Break" viewer, Wang Yangcai cared about the TV situation as soon as he entered the living room, you must know that the autumn file will come on the 27th of this month, "Prison Break 2: Escape" will continue to be broadcast on NBC Channel on Monday PM9:00-10:00, and "The Big Bang Theory" is Thursday PM20:00-20:30, taking over the schedule of "Friends" that ended last season. How can you watch it on this TV?
But he seemed to have forgotten one thing. Seeing that the couple was even more powerful than herself, Rachel laughed crisply, revealing the dimples on both cheeks: "It's okay for the time being, we're going back to Los Angeles soon." Wang Yang suddenly said: "That's right." Rachel knew his thoughts a little, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! No matter how busy I am with filming, I will definitely watch "Prison Break" and "The Big Bang Theory" on time to increase the number of viewers for you." She looked at Jessica again and smiled and asked, "yes, which episode of The Big Bang Theory has his cameo?" I want to see how bad his acting is. β
"Rachel, I can't believe it either!" Jessica proudly patted Wang Yang's shoulder: "But seriously, I am amazed by his acting skills now, and he didn't waste my teaching." Wang Yang rolled his eyes: "Thank you so much for her." He replied with a smile: "In the second episode, I played myself in the restaurant." Rachel nodded with interest, "Oh yes! β
I saw Wang Yang, who had been staring at the TV for a while, stand up, roll up his sleeves with determination, and walk towards the TV: "I can't stand it! I feel like I can fix it." The two women got up and followed in a daze, and Jessica was puzzled and surprised and delighted: "Young, I didn't even know you could fix the TV, what problems did you find?" Rachel glared amusefully, but also had a bigger question: "It's actually okay...... Jan, do you really know how to repair?"
"Haha! You underestimate me so much that you forget that I'm a USC student? Do you forget what major I studied?" Wang Yang came to the TV, and while looking at the machine, he said seriously: "Film-And-Television-Production! I just learned how to produce TVs! You say, will I fix it?" As soon as he said this, Jessica and Rachel, who laughed out loud, both knew that it would not.
Film-And-Television-Production is a major in film and television production, but the word "Television" does not refer to its TV device.
"I've found the problem, that's all it takes. Although Wang Yang has not really learned how to repair a TV, but some folk family experience is still there, he raised his palm and slapped it vigorously behind the TV, bang! Jessica hung her head weakly, Rachel opened her mouth wide, Wang Yang smiled while patting: "Sometimes it's like this, the parts in it are messy, just shoot a few times and shoot it back." "Bang bang bang! The image on the screen flickered more frequently.
With a magnetic sound, suddenly the TV screen was pitch black, there was no power supply and no image, Rachel scratched her cheek: "It doesn't look like it." Jessica looked at Wang Yang and stuck out her tongue in a voice: "It doesn't look like it." Wang Yang frowned and stared at the screen, could it be that he had such bad luck today? He checked the power socket and there was no problem, so he had to raise his palm again: "It doesn't look like it's ...... A few more shots. β
The TV was staggered, "Young, maybe you'd be better off with kung fu?", "yes, honey, it's like this anyway, let's use Bajiquan!", "OK!inner-inner, Chicken-Dinner, drink ......"
After a loud bang, the living room was silent, and the TV was skewed on the TV cabinet without sound or image, Rachel scratched her cheek: "It doesn't look like it." Jessica kept her tongue sticking out: "It doesn't look like it." Wang Yang stared at the dark screen for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked away: "I can be sure, it's broken!" The two women rolled their eyes with strange expressions and followed out of the living room.
As she walked, Jessica pressed her heart and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Rachel." Well, Jan hasn't graduated from USC yet......" Rachel laughed and pushed her, "Would I mind?" Jessica laughed, "Of course you won't." I heard Wang Yang's voice coming from the garden outside: "Wow, Rachel, why do you have so many bicycles!" Rachel smiled at Jessica and said loudly: "Yes, do you want to go out for a spin?" Jessica was very interested: "But I can only sit in the back of the car, I can't pedal it yet." ββ¦β¦ Although Rachel's community is not located in the center of the city, when the TIFF is held in the city, Wang Yang and Rachel openly ride bicycles and blow the wind, and three popular youth idol friends get together, and it is not surprising that they are photographed by the paparazzi, and by the way, they are on the websites and magazines of gossip media.
Time was in a hurry, and the three of them did not stay until the end of TIFF on the 18th, and they had already returned to Los Angeles. This year's TIFF People's Choice Award was finally awarded to "Rwanda Hotel", and Luen Mei & Lionsgate really made a splash, and many movies successfully found a distribution home, Sony Classics won "Becoming Julia", Lionsgate bought "Crazy Men and Women" and "Flying Over the Ocean...... Flame Movies has also had a lot of gains, some of which were bought back to expand the film and television library, combined rental sales, and bought out the ownership of "Crash" for a sky-high price of $20 million, which is a lot.
Compared with the production cost of 6.5 million, the buyout fee of 20 million has already made Bullseye and other producers earn a pre-tax profit of 13.5 million! The cost yield has reached 207 percent! Is there anything not satisfied? Producers such as Don Cheadle, Robert Moresco, Bobo Yari, and Paul Haggis can all say unequivocally: "No." "Because if you accept the 9 million+ dividend plan, according to the proportion of 15% of the global total box office, it will take up to 80 million to share the 11 million.
It's not that they don't have confidence in "Crash", but the connotation of business and the film are completely different things, almost all rational theories, formulas, and speculations tell them that it is normal for "Crash" to have a box office of 20 million, 30 million is already a dark horse, 50 million has become a miracle, and 80 million is a miracle.
Since the "man who created miracles" is so optimistic about it and said that he "thinks it carefully", Paul Haggis is willing to try a dividend plan, but the CEOs and directors of film companies such as Bullseye Company are unwilling, and many times greed will kill a company, although history tells them that they should never doubt the flames, but what if they are the ones who set the precedent? They are not the deep-pocketed flame group, and they will accept it when they see it!
"The flame movie bought out "Crash" at a sky-high price of 20 million, and plans to release it on the Christmas schedule to impact the awards season. βYahoo Entertainment. This is the largest deal that broke out at TIFF this year, and it has naturally become the biggest news, and now it is equivalent to the fact that Flame Movies has launched "Crash" with a production cost of 20 million! This has indeed attracted the attention of many fans and fans, what is the charm of this small-budget movie, 20 million!? And according to Yahoo, Flame is negotiating with North American theater operators and will arrange for it to be released on a large scale at the end of the year.
It has to be said that 20 million is a number that scares Jon Feltimmel, the Weinstein brothers and others, who admit that they don't have the crazy courage of the "black hole" and that he played the hand too big.
After the gloomy atmosphere of commemorating the third anniversary of 911, the United States ushered in another entertainment awards event that attracted more attention, the day after TIFF ended, the 56th Emmy Awards were held at the Sylangor Theater in Los Angeles on September 19.
The Emmys are like the Oscars are like the silver screen, all entries must be broadcast on radio and cable between June 1 of the previous year and May 31 of this year, and must be watched by at least 51% of the nation's audience), Emmy Awards for Sports, Science & Engineering, Journalism & Documentary, and Emmys in various regional categories.
On the night of the 19th, the awards ceremony broadcast live on ABC Channel was the primetime program Emmy Awards, with a total of 31 awards, which can be described as dizzy.
The first season of last year's Golden Globe Award-winning hit rookie drama series "Prison Break" was nominated for four of the nine drama awards, namely Best Drama, Best Actor (Wentworth Miller, Michael Schofield), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Knepp, T-Bag), and Best Screenplay (Wang Yang).
Wang Yang attended the award ceremony alone with the "Prison Break" team, because the whole event had to walk the red carpet, deal with media reporters, sit in the theater all night, and celebrate the party...... Not to mention Jessica, who is sick, even a normal person is likely to suddenly fall to the ground, so for the sake of her body, she did not follow him like almost any award ceremony before, but sat at home, chatting with her mother who came to accompany her care, while watching the gags of the host Gary Sandlin on the TV screen, looking at the faces of her lover who occasionally appeared, and watching the awards being handed out one by one.
"Prison Break!!Prison ββBreak!!"
"The winner of the best drama series went to ...... The Sopranos!
The team members of "The Sopranos" on the TV screen hugged each other excitedly to celebrate, Wang Yang, Jerry Bruckheimer and other opponents applauded and blessed them, but the "Prison Break" fans in front of the screen were disappointed and scolded, Jessica leaned on the sofa like a faint, and didn't want to watch this award ceremony anymore, all 4 nominations failed! The news quickly spread to the Internet, and there were scoldings from all over the world, "Prison Break" is such a great series! Lost to the "dull" "Sopranos", are the ATAS judges stupid?
"The Sopranos", "Hindered", "Angels in America" and "Miracles" won the best drama category, comedy category, miniseries and TV movie respectively, James Spader of "The True Color of the Lawyer" won the best actor in the drama category, and Sarah Jessica Parker of "The City" beat Jennifer Aniston and others to win the best actress in the comedy category...... Although fans have different opinions, especially the high demand for "Prison Break", this result is also in line with the analysis and prediction of many film critics and media in advance.
"Prison Break" has a revolutionary rhythm expression, and its excitement and excitement can be said to be unmatched by dramas at present, but it lacks the depth of connotation, and it also lacks awards. As for whether it will change the pace in the second season, slow down more and explore human emotions, or continue to focus on suspense and tension in its own way, and whether the unaired and popular "The Big Bang Theory" can make a new situation in the comedy genre, it will go through this autumn file and be revealed in September next year.
And now the blacks have found a good opportunity to ridicule them, with Jeffrey Westerhoff writing sarcastically on his blog about the Emmy winners: "It seems that my worries are unwarranted, and thank God NBC is not strong enough to manipulate the Emmys, even though it has fooled us at last year's Golden Globes." I'm glad to see that ATAS made the right choice, that the Emmy stage doesn't have room for Prison Break, and that this kind of crime-inducing series should be taken off the air. ββ¦β¦ If Westerhoff's ridicule is insignificant in the face of natural disasters, the world is not peaceful, and in recent times, Tropical Storm Jeanne has devastated the Haitian region, killing more than 3,000 people and plunging the northern Haitian city into an ocean. It was the world's worst storm disaster since Hurricane Mitch killed more than 9,000 people in Central America in October 1998.
If the Mayans' 2012 apocalyptic prophecy is anything to back it up, it seems to be a harbinger that the storms have entered another peak in more than 80 years. As people with great wealth, Wang Yang and Jessica naturally have the obligation and responsibility to support and participate in charity activities, even if some dinner parties have some hypocritical aspects of social catwalks, but it can indeed help many people in need, and can also attract more people's attention to disasters.
is getting closer and closer to the end of September, and the 27th, the start day of the new autumn file, is coming soon, and at this time, some of the work of the flame film has also made new progress. After many days of negotiations, finalizing the details of the film and dividends with the brokerage team one by one, the Flame finally signed a 1+1 contract with the two most important members of the main creative team of "Furious Speed", director Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan, and within five years, they need to produce "Furious Speed" 2 and 3 for Flame, "Furious Speed 2" is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2006.
On the other hand, Paul Feige, Philip Stark and others from the "Hangover 2" team have also happily signed a 1+1 contract with the Flames, and they will create "The Hangover 3", which is also scheduled to be released in the summer of 2006, as well as another new R-rated comedy.
What is this R-rated comedy? The flame film has not yet been established, and there is no script idea for familiar screenwriters such as Philip Stark and Steve O'Udecock, but another huge comedy project has quietly entered the state of inquiry. At the Toronto Film Festival, Wang Yang and Stephen Chow's remarks were not a joke, he did have this production idea, put Stephen Chow and Jim Carrey into one movie! But what kind of movie can allow both of them to show their comedic talents and form a "Bromance" chemistry? and can satisfy their needs for "big productions"?
Wang Yang had an idea, and he wanted to remake Bruce Lee's classic "The Green Hornet" is a good choice. In fact, according to the information of the future 2011 version of "The Green Hornet", Columbia, which later obtained the film copyright, invited Stephen Chow to direct and star in the new version of KATO, but later due to creative differences, Stephen Chow fully withdrew and Jay Chou was on top, plus the whole film is a mess in all aspects, and the new version of "The Green Hornet" is nothing.
But there are a lot of questions in front of this plan, Stephen Chow and Jim Carrey seem to be tired of comedy, and they have picked up "Changing Stars" and "Strange Heroes in Disguise" to reach new heights? They are quite hesitant about the attitude of the hilarious action superhero film of Fire, and whether the Fire Movie can get the film rights from the families of "The Green Hornet" creators George Trendle and Fran Stricker? More importantly, is the plan feasible? These will take time to come to fruition, but they are all on track.
Of course, these jobs are not done by Wang Yang, in addition to expressing sincerity in contact, he has little time to practice yoga in the sun with Jessica, he not only has to cooperate with the publicity work on the eve of "Prison Break 2" and "The Big Bang Theory", but also start to host the post-production of "Firefly".
