In the departure room of New York's JFK Airport, Wang Yang and Jessica laughed and talked about last night's New Year's countdown, 2001 has arrived, and the first page of the 21st century has begun. Last night's Times Square was naturally overcrowded, more exaggerated than a year ago, they stood in place almost all night, unable to move, and finally ushered in the New Year happily and tiredly.

And now they are about to say goodbye to the city after a few days of staying in the city and head to Europe for this New Year's holiday. At this time, the mobile phone in Wang Yang's pocket suddenly rang, he took it out and looked at it, and said to Jessica next to him: "It's Anne Hathaway, I don't know what happened to her." He smiled and said, "Hi Annie, Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year, Jan!" Anne Hathaway's voice was very excited, and after saying hello, she couldn't wait to say: "I got the heroine of "The Princess Diaries"! Just my agent told me that I passed last month's audition! Mr. Director said, 'With her performance in "Juno", she is good enough for the role', it's crazy, I got a heroine!" Wang Yang suddenly smiled happily: "Wow, congratulations!" Hathaway over there also laughed, and kept thanking: "Thank you!" I'm so happy, thank you for giving me Leah, it's amazing. ”

"No, I don't. Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, a butterfly like her with excellent appearance and temperament and high talent will always become famous, and it is the same with or without Leah. He doesn't have the "Princess Diaries" situation in his head, but in any case, with her talent and acting skills, any actress opportunity can perform the shining point, and ten years later, she is still the Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway in her head.

He remembered another Annie, who was so excited about that day half a year ago, and said, "I got another role!" that movie has not yet been released, and after Annie played that supporting role and "Juno," there is no new role yet.

Hathaway's laughter came from the phone again: "Where are you? I heard that you and Jessica are in New York now, and I want to invite you to dinner, okay?" Wang Yang sighed, looked at the flight information display over there, and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I'm afraid not, we are about to board the plane to Paris." ”

"Paris! Then I won't bother you and enjoy this romantic getaway!" Hathaway smiled enviously and said, "Young, bye-bye!"

Wang Yang put down his phone with a smile and said to Jessica: "Good news, Anne got the heroine of "The Princess Diaries". Jessica smiled happily for her and said, "Beautiful!" Wang Yang nodded, continued the previous topic, and asked with a smile: "When we arrive in Paris, where are we going to play?" Jessica looked at him sweetly and said happily: "I have planned, on the first day, we will go to Notre Dame Cathedral first, and on the second day, we will go to the Eiffel Tower......"

"Hmm. Wang Yang nodded, and listened to her arrangement without any opinion, he had no special feelings for Paris, and he chose to travel there for her pleasure, because he overheard from her grandmother that "Jessica has loved Paris since she was a child." "My grandmother was French, she grew up in Paris as a child, and she probably told her granddaughter a lot of stories about her hometown from a young age.

After 13 hours in the air, the two traveled from the Big Apple to the romantic capital and set foot on the land of Paris. After a night's rest at the hotel, the two began to explore the ancient city, where all Catholics love and yearn for the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Jessica is naturally full of piety, and Wang Yang also admires its classical art. And during the solemn Mass, both believers and non-believers felt very peaceful.

On the first day, Jessica was very happy, but a little reticent, and Wang Yang respected her mood and did not laugh or tease her, but on the second day, the Eiffel Tower was full of laughter and laughter.

The tourists on the Champ de Mars were scattered, listening to the sound of the fountains around him, Wang Yang held the DV machine hanging around his neck, aimed at the towering Eiffel Tower in front of him, and asked while shooting: "Jessica, do you know how tall the Eiffel Tower is?" Jessica, who was also looking at the Eiffel Tower, smiled when she heard this, and said angrily: "Don't test me this, I definitely know more about Paris than you." ”

"Please!" Wang Yang laughed, pointed the DV camera at her, and said with a smile: "I'm just asking you, I don't know how tall this big guy is." Jessica rolled her eyes with a smile and replied, "300 meters high, plus the antenna, it's more than 320." Wang Yang pressed the DV camera and said with a smile: "Cut! It's over, it's a very good expression! The No. 18 shot of the third group of "Paris Holiday" is completed, and the next shot is complete!"

Jessica pretended to be very surprised, and said, "So we are here to make a movie?" Wang Yang nodded with a smile, pressed the start shooting button again, captured the figure of some tourists in the distance, and said: "Family documentary movies, just show us, and our future children." Jessica smiled sweetly, knowing that his words were serious, and since he got off the plane yesterday, he had taken a video with a DV camera from time to time.

Looking at the blue sky, the tall tower in the distance, and the beloved next to her, Jessica squinted slightly, as long as she watched "Paris Holiday" in the future, she could recall the current mood, and the child would also know about the love of her parents. She smiled, took his dangling left hand, and said, "Yang, one of my dreams has come true." Wang Yang looked at her gently: "Huh?" Jessica snuggled up to him and smiled: "One of my dreams is to come to Paris with people who like each other like now." ”

"Sweetheart, you should have told me earlier, then your dream would have come true. Wang Yang kissed her hair gently, and Jessica smiled happily: "No, it didn't mean to say it before, but now it's also come true." With that, she quieted down, stared into his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Young, will we be together forever?"

Wang Yang looked at her affectionate eyes and expectant face, he knew that at this time, he should resolutely say "Yes!" and then this matter passed, this is just a kind of psychology of girls in love, especially girls in their first love, they are always so sentimental, let alone standing in the place of their dreams, and the beauty of first love is precisely because of this.

He wanted to nod his head without hesitation and say "yes", but he suddenly remembered that this question had been asked to him by a blonde girl who had asked him the same question, and he had said yes without even thinking about it, but now the question was asked by another girl, and Natalie's voice flashed in his mind, "Forever, it's terrifying, I don't believe it." He thought for a moment, and although he did not hesitate, he said very seriously: "Yes!" Every girl who asked this question wanted this answer, and he could not be cruel to disappoint her.

"Uh-huh, wow......" Jessica smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel her heart beat faster.

Seeing her bright smile with clean teeth, Wang Yang smiled and stroked her face, "Jessica, do you know? If it was any other boy, it was probably frightened by you just now." Jessica was a little puzzled, and Wang Yang smiled: "Say never." A good friend of mine in high school, he suddenly fell out with his girlfriend, and that's why he said, 'She's a crazy person. I say yes because I know you love me and I love you, but for forever, we all need to work together to maintain our affection and love, you know?"

"Jan, I understand. Jessica nodded heavily, listening to his words, she didn't feel disappointed in her heart, only more happiness and peace of mind, he wasn't the kind of casual sweet talk, he was serious. She remembered the reason why he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, and compared with their current situation, she couldn't help but laugh: "We have been in love for more than two years, and we haven't quarreled;

Wang Yang laughed, firstly, because their life philosophy was very compatible and they couldn't quarrel, and secondly, because he learned how to manage love, and no longer cared about some trivial things, such as whether to go to Notre Dame or the Eiffel Tower first, and she was a good girl. He said with a smile: "Actually, I really want to quarrel with you, come on, come on, you scold me!"

As he was talking, he suddenly saw two white beauties who looked almost identical coming towards him, obviously twins, one blonde and one black, very actor-like, he suddenly looked at it a few more times with some curiosity, and heard the blonde call the black-haired "Eva ......" snapped, his head was hit by Jessica, she gritted her teeth and smiled: "Bastard, do you really want me to scold you?"

"I was wrong. Wang Yang smiled and took her hand, ran to the Eiffel Tower in front, and said with a smile: "Let's go see what Paris looks like!" Jessica followed behind, smiled and nodded: "Well! beautiful Paris!"

Over the next week, the two traveled all over Paris and retraced many of her grandmother's footsteps, returning to the United States after a sweet and romantic New Year's holiday. After only one day in Los Angeles, Jessica went to Salt Lake City to meet the crew and shoot some shots of the final stage of "High School Musicals 3".

Wang Yang has returned to his leisure life, reading books and movies, sneaking away Danny, who has moved, accepting exclusive interviews with media reporters for publicity, and editing "Paris Holiday", he has not touched a DV movie for almost three years, but fortunately, the craft is not rusty, and it is not difficult to make a documentary of interesting or romantic images.

In the period when they were enjoying the New Year's holiday and now, "Juno" ended its second and third weeks of screenings, and in the second week from December 29 to January 4, it received 48.972 million box office in 2,915 theaters, but this result failed to retain the top spot, and "Desert Island" received 49.83 million box office in 2,929 theaters, taking the top spot.

In the first half of the week, "Juno" had a big lead, but in the second half it was suddenly weak, and was chased and overtaken by "Desert Island". The weekly box office review said that the reason was that "after the holiday, students have to return to campus, and new films such as "Shaolin Abbot Luo" and "Keep the Last Dance" have been released, and it is difficult for "Juno" to regain the championship. ”

Sure enough, in the third week of January 5-11, "Shaolin Abbot Network after Zhu 80" ranked third, receiving 21.378 million box office. In the fourth week of January 12-18, "Juno" slipped to third place with a box office of 17.145 million, but the weekly champion was not "The Rest of the Desert Island", but received a box office of 30.872 million and the newly released "Keep the Last Dance".

Four weeks after its release, "Juno" received a total of $160 million at the box office in North America, and its total cost of production, promotion, and copying was 50 million, which was enough to recover the cost of the 160 million box office, and according to the statistical analysis of Flame Films, it would not be a problem for the total box office to exceed 200 million after the regular 20-week screening window in the future.

Its overseas release date on January 25 is gradually approaching, and a grand event on January 21, the 58th Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, is also coming.

As early as the beginning of the month, Wang Yang was asked by reporters questions such as "Do you have the confidence to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director?", "If you win the award, who do you want to thank the most?", when answering, he smiled and said, "I am very happy to be nominated, I have no idea whether to win the award or not." If I win the award? Then I would like to thank the guest who presented the award, he must have mispronounced it. ”

Is this what he really thinks, winning this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Director? He doesn't think it's going to happen. This is not equivalent to a miracle at the box office, whether it is compared with films such as "The Shaolin Abbot of Zhu 80s", or his qualifications, it is obviously not enough to impress the judges, and now it is the limit to be nominated. Of course, if there is a Best Director category at the MTV Film Awards, then he has a great chance.

However, although this nomination for Best Director is basically a foil, he still has a lot of expectations for the Golden Globe Awards he participated in for the first time.

Because Will Smith, who competes for Best Drama Actor, is a popular choice in addition to Russell Crowe and Tom Hanks, and the other two nominations, Natalie Portman for Best Musical/Comedy Actress, and "Juno", which competes for Best Musical/Comedy Film, are absolute favorites in the media's predictions and fans' voices.
