"Wonder Young is scheduled to win the 2003 Academy Award for Best Director. This is a report in the latest issue of the gossip tabloid Hollywood Dynamics.

After the MTV Movie Awards ended a few days ago, Wang Yang suddenly received the news that his master was critically ill, and immediately rushed back to San Francisco to see the old man for the last time, and then attended the funeral, which has long been reported by the entertainment media, and his fans and fans also expressed comfort on the Internet, so that his mourning changes, and Wang Yang also thanked the fans through the newly hired agent Paul Emery.

But "Hollywood Dynamics" revealed some details of the last time he saw his master in the ward: "He was very sad and sad, and he made many promises to his master in tears, such as not letting himself go to prison again, and the future children will learn Chinese...... and one of them is the focus of the article, he wants to continue to be a great person, and he promises: "I will win a lot of Oscars, and I will give you the first best director in 2003!"

This article has no comments and tendencies, just a statement of this one thing. But with this text report, the sales of this issue of "Hollywood Dynamics" have increased a lot, and it has also been reprinted by many online media, but are these details true or false? Did Magic Young really say this? Or are they fabricated out of thin air? Fans naturally don't know, but gossip news has always been "believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it."

There are not a few people who choose to believe it, and he won the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 23? Now he hasn't been nominated for a single one? With that mysterious R-rated violent movie "District 9"? If it were a normal situation, how arrogant and crazy would Magic Young have to be to speak like this?

Those who hated and hated Wang Yang all made sarcastic remarks: "He shouldn't have made such a stupid promise, his master was teased." "It's disgusting, he thinks the Oscars are MTV movie awards, don't say it if you can't do it!", "Obviously he was so sad and delirious at that time, I sympathize with him!", but everyone else is very understanding and supportive of him, this is just Miracle Young's comforting words to the dying master, and it is already very immoral when it is exposed, how can it be used to make irresponsible remarks?!

In the comments on the Internet, many fans fought back: "When you know what it's like to lose a loved one, you will understand that when you become an astronaut and land on the moon, you will agree." "First of all, let's assume that this is true, but anyone who uses this to mock Miracle Yang is an idiot, and everyone knows that these words cannot be taken seriously. "It seems ridiculous, but I don't think Jan doesn't have any chances, maybe......"

There are also a large number of people who disdain it, and it is just a nonsense of unscrupulous gossip tabloids.

Wang Yang knew that this was true, and when he took the copy of "Hollywood News" in his hand, he was so angry that he tore up the newspaper directly. Although this tabloid still took care of it, did not publish any words of the master, and barely mentioned the master, but is this considered respect!? They disturbed the peace of the master!But what is the matter, how can this tabloid know these words!?

At that time, there were only three people in the ward, him, the master and Jessica, and no one could be the one exposed by the media, could it be that there was a paparazzi hiding under the hospital bed?

According to the analysis of agent Paul Emory, this is indeed one of the possibilities, the paparazzi did everything, or the paparazzi conducted a wall eavesdropping, but due to Chinese reasons, it is more likely that the paparazzi placed recording equipment in the ward, and then took it away, and then found a translator to turn it over.

So the whole process should be, at that time in the backstage of the Shellland Theater, the news that he rushed back to San Francisco because of his master's illness had already leaked, which is not surprising, so many people and reporters walked around, and some paparazzi immediately notified their San Francisco counterparts, and then quickly found the hospital, disguised as a doctor or medical staff to enter the ward, and then placed a tape recorder.

In any case, now that this matter is already cooked, he can completely ignore it and not pursue it, as if there is no such thing, then if "Hollywood News" does not continue to report, it will become a thing of the past in a few days, this is just a drop in the ocean of gossip news, who is dating with whom tomorrow, which couple is suspected of discord, who is cheating, who scolds who is a bitch, who beats someone, who goes crazy in a nightclub...... No one will remember this news with a rather low level of truth.

"No!" When he heard this choice, Wang Yang interrupted Paul Emery's words without hesitation, and coldly stated his attitude: "I will pursue it to the end." "These paparazzi and tabloids are really getting more and more excessive, if it is a scandal between men and women, he can laugh it off, but now, he wants to make the paparazzi and the tabloids publicly apologize, and let them be severely punished by the damn law, no one can escape!

Paul Emery, who was on the other side of the sofa, nodded and reminded him: "Those tabloids are not afraid of your pursuit, and most of all, they are afraid that you will ignore them...... As for losing money and apologizing, they won't care. ”

Wang Yang took a deep breath, the master was lying on the bed and was about to leave at any time, they were eavesdropping on the recording? He slowly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "I don't care if I lose money and apologize, then I will put them in jail." ”

“ok。 Paul Emory also did not persuade him, this kind of thing is just an option, and it will not affect the reputation. And this kind of news, when it is investigated, it can be said to be defamatory, or it can be said to be a serious infringement, but considering the possibility of recording, the reason for the investigation is naturally the latter. He thought for a moment and suggested, "Young, you'd better not say too much about the best director." ”

Wang Yang nodded silently, he knew all the voices on the Internet, mocking, comforting, and sympathetic...... They all thought he couldn't do it. Winning the Oscar for Best Director in 2003 seemed like a real possibility, and he didn't have much of an idea, but he was confident that he could make "District 9" so that it was qualified to get a ticket and have the competitive strength, and then it was up to the judges. Do your best!

The next day, "Hollywood Dynamics" received a lawyer's letter, Wang Yang formally filed a lawsuit against it for serious violations, demanding compensation and a public apology, and also sued the unknown person who provided the information, paid an apology, and went to jail. Paul Emery released the news to the media, saying: "Their actions are very shocking, it has undoubtedly hurt Young badly, he is angry and regretful, and he hopes that this matter will get a proper outcome." ”

Celebrities suing the media paparazzi for violating ** are naturally not the first time it has happened, this kind of lawsuit was staged almost every other day, but there were no few victories, most of them just went to sue angrily for a while, and then ended up quickly.

This is because the laws of most states in the United States stipulate that the mass media has the right to expose and report on current and previous events of a public figure, as long as it satisfies the public's interest, and the use of his/her name and photograph does not require prior authorization. So where did Tom Hanks and his family go shopping, which couple went to the restaurant to eat, what were they doing, what were they talking about...... Neither**.

Publications, on the other hand, may use the names, photographs and related information of officials, people running for office, and celebrities such as actors, writers, singers, musicians, etc., as long as they are related to a legitimate event of public concern, without authorization, as long as the information is related to their official office or public role, even if a person's private life is made public.

So you don't need their consent to write a biography of George Bush or a biopic film about Bill Gates, the biography can be published and the film can be distributed.

California is the center of entertainment and entertainment, and it is also the place where paparazzi are most rampant. There is no willingness of the parties, they take photographs, audio and video recordings...... If you come openly, it can be a group of people following you step by step, but if it's just like that, is it still called a paparazzi? In this way, apart from some normal photos, how can there be a surprise? So they quietly followed, disguised, and infiltrated...... The tactics are becoming more and more high-tech, they are becoming more and more like an agent, and celebrities are becoming more and more annoying, and they have to be careful to behave.

And now that "Hollywood Dynamics" is facing this paper complaint from Wang Yang, it is actually just a few words of his that have been obtained and published in an improper way, and if the court finds that this is of public interest, then there will be no punishment. Even if you lose the lawsuit, it doesn't matter if you apologize for nothing, you won't be sentenced too much if you want to lose money, and the popularity and sales you have already made up for it, which is why gossip newspapers dare to publish any news.

But if there is conclusive evidence of wiretapping recordings that proves that this illegal act is beyond the bounds, someone will face jail time. Therefore, Wang Yang has entrusted the Israeli Army Expert Security Company with a lot of money to use their skills to collect and obtain those evidence, and then send the relevant people to prison.

"Hollywood Dynamics" now wishes that the whole world would know that he was magically accused of violating his privacy, which means that his gossip news is true, and it also means that its gossip is very true, come and buy it!

In its latest issue, it hurriedly reported the news on its own, and also disclosed more details in the ward that day, still no old man Wu because he was not a public figure, or Wang Yang's information, such as that he actually has a nickname called "youngest-fly", he also plans to marry Jessica in a few years, and "win the best director in 2003".

Fans who are concerned about this matter know that it is now confirmed that this matter is true, and he did say to his master that he would win the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 23! Those who hated him continued to taunt, and those who supported him continued to express understanding, but no one said "he will get it".

In front of the desk in the study, Wang Yang looked at the computer screen, tapping on the keyboard with both hands, writing his blog that had not been updated for several days, recalling some of his master's past events, as well as some attitudes towards the past few days: "I don't want to say too much about their behavior, time will give a fair result......"

He picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, looked at the document and thought for a while, and then typed a paragraph: "If I win the Oscar, I can let my master live for two more years and make my relatives happy, I hope I can get it every year." The master is gone, I will miss him forever, and I will try to live up to what I have said to him. Won the Oscar for Best Director in 2003?" he smiled and tapped again: "Guys, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what's next." ”

When this blog post was updated, many gossip tabloids followed up the next day, and even big newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times began to pay attention, and everyone saw his deep relationship with his master, his hatred of the paparazzi and the gossip tabloids, and his response to "Best Director". He quoted a classic line from "Forrest Gump", which seemed to be a little eager to try, as if to say: "Although you all say that I can't do it, it is not necessarily completely impossible." ”

Now it was a peaceful situation! Although his words were not arrogant, they showed great confidence. The people who mocked him suddenly took stimulants, and they couldn't wait to be in 2003 to see how this guy made a fool of himself: "He's got a hot head by the MTV Movie Awards, please! Wonder Young, you're a joke now!", "Look, I bet he won't even have a nomination, or I'm willing to lick his balls!"

The people who supported him were a little silent, and of course there were many die-hard female fans who still supported him: "He's such an optimistic and humorous person, it's really likeable!", "Who knows Dr. Brown? Riding his time car to 2003? Young is right, who knows what's next!"

"I'm afraid the next chocolate isn't the best director. This is a professional analysis review of "Film Review", the article basically gathers the views of the media, and it immediately received a lot of support and online reprints, as if it was the final word: "Although he is a magical young, although he is the one who has the best chance to break the Oscar record, but the little golden man who wants to lift the best director in two years does not mean that it is absolutely impossible, but it is only 0.1% of what will happen." ”

This rational article is not simply looking at Wang Yang, but using him to tell the current situation and history of the Oscar, and it is also a criticism of the side of the Oscar.

In addition to old issues such as age and qualifications, what is more important is the Oscar presentation style: "Fantastic Young's current directing plan is only "District 9", if he hits the Oscars with this film, let's analyze it." We don't know what kind of movie "District 9" will be, and now we can only rely on speculation that it is a pseudo-documentary, R-rated violence...... It is a cult movie. ”

Spooky cult movies have never been at odds with stereotypical academics. The young director played to his heart's content in cult films, showed his talents, and was embraced by die-hard fans...... Whatever you want, if you want to win awards, if you want to be more successful, then you have to go back to the mainstream, at least in the skin of mainstream films.

Some stubborn people will persevere, like David Fincher, one of the leading figures in cult cinema, but his much-praised "Fight Club," which was hailed as the "No. 1 cult film," was nominated for best sound editing at last year's Oscars.

Since the 90s, the Coen brothers' "Patton Fink" in 1992 won the three heaviest awards at the Cannes Film Festival: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor;

The closest cult film came to a golden man was in 1995, when Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" was nominated for seven categories, including Best Picture and Best Director, and when the awards ceremony ended, it only won one Best Original Screenplay. And that year, it was "Forrest Gump" and Robert Zemeckis who won Best Picture and Best Director.

If there was no Forrest Gump, no The Shawshank Redemption...... would Pulp Fiction win? Maybe, maybe it would have been killed by other mainstream movies on top, anyway, it's a fact that it didn't win.

Every year there are several classic academic mainstream films, and I believe that 2003 will not be an exception. And "District 9" is not only a cult film in the violent genre, but also a pseudo-documentary that "does not enter the stream", and the difficulty of winning the award can be said to be doubled: "If it is as good as 'Pulp Fiction', it is 'possible' to be nominated." ”

However, compared to the problems of cult films, there is another problem that is more serious and deadly: "The connection between District 9 and Area 51, special effects, and the T-shirt of Magical Young...... Which brings us to the possibility that District 9 is a science fiction movie. It is a fact that in the 73 years of the Oscars, science fiction films have never won Best Picture and Best Director, except for technical awards. ”

In the 73-year history, there are only four science fiction films that have been nominated for Best Picture: "Dr. Strangelove" in 1965, "A Clockwork Orange" in 1972, "Star Wars" in 1978, and "Alien E.T." in 1983.

And only three people were nominated for best director for a sci-fi film, Stanley Kubrick (three times, "Doctor Strangelove", "A Clockwork Orange" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968), George Lucas, who was 34 years old ("Star Wars"), and Steven Spielberg, who was 32 and 37 years old (twice, "Contact of the Third Kind" and "Alien E.T." in 1978). These movies are all epoch-making phenomenal, and those three people are iconic figures among directors and idols of countless later directors. But they were all splashed with cold water on the Oscars, and "Star Wars" only won technical awards for 11 nominations, and "Alien e.t." only won technical awards for 8 nominations...... And other excellent sci-fi movies like "Blade Runner", "Back to the Future", "Terminator 2", "Black Emperor Empire" and other excellent science fiction movies have not even been nominated for major awards.

Why do the Oscars hate science fiction movies so much? Maybe the old guys in the academy can't answer this question, they just habitually despise the enemy/hostile to big productions, despise special effects, and despise science fiction films, which has become a 73-year tradition.

"If District 9 were a sci-fi film, we know by now how well it would be treated, no matter how exciting and powerful it was...... In any case, the result was doomed: technical awards. ”

"Don't say anything about the little golden man who lifted Best Picture and Best Director, if the 23-year-old Magic Young can be nominated and become the fourth director of that kind to help science fiction return to the Oscars after 20 years, it will already be a great miracle! ”
