"'District 9' Gets 5 Nominations, Science Fiction Returns to the Golden Globes!" - Los Angeles Times.

With the announcement of the list of nominees for the 60th Golden Globe Awards, the media and the public have started a new round of heated discussions, if you don't watch the movie called "District 9", this list is decent, basically among the popular predictions, "Chicago", "All the Time", "The Pianist" won the corresponding nominations without suspense, only Roman Polanski was selected for Best Director is a little surprising.

But there's "District 9" on the list, there's a cult sci-fi movie! a sci-fi movie I haven't seen in 20 years! It makes it the most special and eye-catching one on the list. Every year, there are academic movies on various topics, such as solar eclipses twice a year, total solar eclipses once every two years, Leonid meteor showers once a year, crop circles many times a year, the Olympics and the World Cup every four years, presidential changes every four years, and the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars once a year...... And after 20 years, there is another science fiction film. It made fans excited, and the media had a topic to focus on to increase sales, and "District 9" and Magic Yang grabbed many pages and even entertainment headlines for a while. You can report on a certain academic film without detailing it, "About Schmidt" or "Little Crazy Flower of the End", but you can't fail to mention this "spectacle".

"Amazing Young Joins Hands with Aliens & Drunks Shoot at the Golden Ball!" - The New York Times; The Amazing Director is back and has been nominated for Golden Globe for Best Director!" - San Francisco Chronicle; "District 9" deserves to be the best movie of the summer. -- Chicago Sun-Times...... "Marvelous Young has done what was left unfinished two years ago. Yahoo Entertainment reported that two years ago, "Juno" was not nominated for best screenplay despite the unanimous outcry of the media, and "When Happiness Knocks" also lost the nomination for best picture in the drama category, but this year, Wonder Young won the accolades that he should have received two years ago for two films that stood at two extremes, the article wrote: "He has achieved something unbelievable." ”

This is not an exaggeration, 22 years and 10 months old Wang Yang has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for two consecutive films, which is more dazzling than the report cards of many old guys who play literature and business;

also has a global box office of 750 million and the highest R-rated comedy opening results, which have repeatedly refreshed various records of R-rated movies...... Steven Soderbergh, known as the magic baby and ghost director at the age of 26 with "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for the first time at the age of 38, and Wang Yang, 22, has been shortlisted twice, becoming the first and second youngest nominees for the award. How can this not make people like him and make the fans who like him go completely crazy?

On the attached poll "Do you support Magic Young to be nominated for Best Director?", 87% of netizens chose to support it, 9% asked him to go away, and 4% I don't care.

In the comments on the report, user Toby Waters' text was very excited: "This guy just makes it impossible for you not to follow him, best screenplay, best director, best picture...... Marvel Young keep going crazy!Idolize you!", Marisa F, who is a girl in the head, wrote excitedly, "Oh my God! he's nominated again?unbelievably cool!Will he win?!...... Recently, in the "2002 World's 50 Most Beautiful People" list conducted by "People" magazine at the same time as internal elections and netizen voting, Wang Yang ranked 26th, which is an even more incredible thing for his candidacy as a "film director".

There is only one film director out of 50 people, and 80% of them are acting stars, with Natalie Portman ranking 13th. In the list of "The 50 Most Handsome Men in the World" of "Premiere" magazine, Wang Yang was ranked 18th, and the magazine commented: "He has two charming temperaments of sunny and heroic and tough man, and when he is out of the immaturity of his youth, he is becoming more and more sexy." ”

Even according to the statistics of the Social Security Administration in the middle of this year, the most popular names for newborn babies in 2001 continued to be Emily and Jacob, and the Bible names of boys such as Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Christopher, and Matthew were still at the top, but they were named "Young" The baby grew dramatically, and for the first time it entered the top 500 and ranked 486th, apparently under the influence of Miraculous Young.

I don't know if it's those children born as a result of the pregnancy boom in "Juno". And after Young made a strong comeback in 2002 with "District 9" and "The Hangover", I am afraid that the ranking in 2003 will rise a lot.

Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" entertainment edition reported with a headline: "Wang Yang has entered the competition for best director!" The introduction said: "Zhang Yimou and "Hero" have completed the goal of hitting the Golden Globe Awards, Wei Tsai said that it is gratifying; the two films of Magic Yang, who have been silent for a year, have won 6 nominations, including Best Director, helping science fiction films return to the Golden Globe Awards, which is an unexpected surprise......

Robert Downey Jr., who was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series, was once again in the spotlight, and his performance before and after the transformation in "District 9" became the object of praise from many media reports. In a first-time phone interview with the Los Angeles Times, Robert Downey Jr. laughed and said, "I'm happy, really happy!" A year or two ago, I didn't think I'd have this day, and thanks to that director, I thank him privately. ”

"The judges made the right decision, and now I'm interested in turning on the TV. Roger Ebert commented on this year's list of nominees, as he had predicted, with the Golden Globes giving room to academic, fantasy epic and cult sci-fi. Maybe it's because of the ratings and attention, but why did you consider it this year in 20? "District 9" has the qualifications to be considered and sought after.

The last time "e.t." in 1983 ended up taking away best film in the drama category, but the best director was won by Richard Attenborough of "Mahatma Gandhi", can "District 9" do anything in 2003?

Under the siege of several classic literary films, no one is optimistic about this bloody special effects movie, "All the Time" and "The Pianist" are the mainstream favorites;

The average age of the six directors is 41 years old, the oldest is 60-year-old Martin Scorsesese, the youngest is 22-year-old Wang Yang, and the other four are all 40 or 41 years old. Age has a big impact, and this thing can also show the qualifications, and he is in the golden period of directing in the rising stage, and he will slowly get the award in the future, or he is old and about to retire, this time the trophy is not given to him, I don't know if he will appear, and then "it's time".

On the other hand, Wonder Young is old enough to stand out from the crowd, and it seems reasonable to win an award for "District 9" at the age of 22, but is 22 years old a rising stage or about to retire? What about 60 years old? This is Martin Scorsese's 1967 directorial debut, the fifth time in 35 years that he has been nominated, and the first four times have all failed. Although it is said that 60 years old will not retire, but according to tradition and seniority, the old man seems to be the biggest hit this year.

The well-known bookmaker bet365 has already opened a market for the Best Director award, and the most favored is Martin Scorsese of "Gangs of New York" at 1.53 times, Stephen Dudley of "All the Time" has the second lowest odds of 2.36 times, Peter Jackson is 4 times, Rob Marshall of "Chicago" is 4.25 times, and Fantastic Young is the second highest at 6 times, and the first is Alexander Payne of "About Schmidt" at 10 times.

However, fans don't care so much, many hardcore have spontaneously built momentum for their idols on the Internet, entertainment websites, forums, blogs and other places have their support, and many articles have emerged.

Movie fan Gary Parentt said: "This best director belongs to science fiction movies!" Jenny Bucas said: "Let a Golden Globe Medal freeze history! Wonder Young is the most promising director since the birth of the movie, and God will be furious if he doesn't leave something behind his 22-year-old!"

There are also outrageous female fan sayings like "Ten reasons why Yanna is the best director!" the author Adriana wrote: "First, he is my idol, second, he is handsome, third, he is funny and humorous, fourth, he is young, fifth, he is strong, and sixth, he can kung fu ......"

"That's what I thought, "All the Time" and "The Pianist" might be worth 90 points, "District 9" 80, but when it comes to contributing to the audience, the award should go to "District 9" and "Wonder Young", or "Lord of the Rings 2". A male author, Patrick, wrote: "The box office of those literary films will not be as high as that of "District 9", how many viewers have watched it? How many people have been affected? Who can't let the audience watch a profound story in entertainment, why complain that the audience doesn't understand the movie? I support the Magic Young Award!"

There are even many fans of "The Hangover" who are already clamoring to get rid of the biggest hit "Chicago" in the best picture of a musical comedy. What? "The Hangover" is just a bunch of, pee, farts and middle fingers, with no connotation? Many fans don't think so.

"The Hangover is actually a great movie, it's just laughed and misread!

Crazy Las Vegas and a warm home make up the man, where Stu finds his male self and turns from a hen to a tiger; Doug gets rid of the panic and nervousness before marriage, and in the end he just wants to go home, how important his wife and home are to men; but Phil is a representative of a long-married man who always wants to indulge, but he is still a good husband and a good father; Ellen is a typical boy who has not grown up, stupid, neurotic, excited, rude, and full of erotic...... Miss Miller symbolizes the kind of troublesome woman that men fear and hate, violent, powerful, rude, without intelligence, although beautiful and hot, no one thinks about her; I'm willing to forgive you for being late for the wedding......"

After analyzing all the characters and details of "The Hangover" and explaining it clearly, William Brobburn, the author of this film review, wrote: "How thoroughly 'The Hangover' analyzes men! Finally, Wonder Young tells us that men can sometimes go crazy, but when they are crazy, they still have to go home, and that is the best place to go." As for the Las Vegas thing, stay in Las Vegas. ”

This film review was immediately warmly welcomed by many fans and fans, and everyone said "oh", "The Hangover" is stupid and boring? It turned out to be not! It is like William said: "Hit a man's heart!" Then let's ** "Chicago"!

However, in the eyes of the media and bookmakers, whether "The Hangover" is a great movie or not, it is still unlikely to win the Golden Globe. It is priced at 4x to win on bet365 and 1.26x for Chicago.

All the work during the Christmas holiday has naturally stopped, and in a blink of an eye it came to the 24th Christmas Eve, this year's Christmas dinner, Wang Yang and Jessica cooked together and carefully made a table of Chinese and Western food, and the two families spent a happy Christmas Eve together. Then Christmas came, and last year, the two who were basketball fans didn't watch the NBA Christmas game, and this year they didn't want to miss it, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings.

The festive Staples Arena was packed with spectators laughing and chatting with friends, waiters walking the aisles with food and drinks, and children twisting and dancing as they waited for the game to begin.

The seats on the sidelines were full of celebrities, Wang Yang was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, a well-proportioned and broad body, muscular lines and a mature face, in the scanning room of the live TV camera, he did not lose the title of "the 18th most handsome man in the world";

Listening to Britney Spears' song in the arena, the cheerleading girls in the field were dancing neatly, Jessica glanced at Wang Yang, who was talking to Kirsten Dunst next to her, and couldn't help but think of the Christmas war two years ago, when Britney and Justin were sitting next to them, the recognized golden boy and girl had announced their breakup in March this year after 2 years of love.

It is very common for couples to break up, and some people try to break up when dating is not suitable, empathize and break up, and cheat on their legs. The reason why she is a little emotional, and the reason why the whole United States is a little emotional, is because Britney and Justin are childhood sweethearts, and they are their first love, and their relationship has always seemed to be sweet and good, why did they break up suddenly? Why are they so sad after the breakup?

There are all kinds of gossip and reasons for breaking up, and she naturally doesn't know what it really is, and their close friends probably don't know, let alone ordinary friends...... Jessica suddenly remembered one of the Chinese animal idioms she had recently learned, and she didn't know if it was suitable or not, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that she looked like she was thinking about things, Wang Yang smiled and patted her hand, just now Kirsten just said that he liked "The Hangover" very much and congratulated him on the Golden Globe nomination, and he could always hear these words in his ears these days. Following her gaze to the cheerleading girls in the field, he smiled and said, "You want to go up and show off your hip-hop?"

"No, no interest. Jessica came to her senses, she smiled, leaned into his ear and whispered, "I just think of Britney and Justin." ”

Wang Yang sighed, the reason for their breakup is a mystery, some say that Britney split her legs, and some say that Justin split her legs, who knows? He nodded, suddenly understood her thoughts, frowned and asked, "What? What do you mean about us?" Jessica said in a serial voice: "No, no, no! I feel sorry for them." ”

He looked into her eyes, there were some senseless emotions unique to girls, he smiled lightly, and said seriously: "Everyone's attitude to life and every relationship is different. ”

"You know there's that dandy, party girl. He shrugged his shoulders slightly, and Paris Hilton then laughed, "But there's Tom, he's been with Jammie since he was 19 years old, isn't he married now, and he's doing well?" and most importantly, there's Young. ”

Jessica suddenly slapped her forehead and laughed, they have always been so happy and sweet, there is no unknown problem, that idiom does not fit, it does not fit at all!

"Brother. Wang Yang's brows furrowed again, and he asked, "Do you want to get rid of me?"

"I want to punch you!" Jessica smacked him on the shoulder with her fist. Wang Yang stroked his face with a sigh, and said in a hurt tone: "You always want to beat me, but I have helped you beat so many people before." Jessica leaned sideways on him and muttered softly, "Is that because you want to fight, do you think I don't know?" Wang Yang looked at her in surprise: "Oh! You made me sad, sad." Jessica smiled and clasped his hand.

Soon the Christmas battle began with the jump ball of O'Neill and Chris Webber. Under the leadership of Rick Adelman, a group of good players such as Webber, Stojakovic, Christie, Bibby, and Divac have knocked down the top spot in the West with smooth passing and cutting combinations, but the three-time defending champion Lakers, who have an OK combination, are not easy to bully.

Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, the game went on fiercely, and the scores alternated with each other, and the first quarter was 24-24, and at this time it was the end of the second quarter, the score was 49-48.

"Bobby Jackson is holding the ball, Kobe is defending him, the pass is intercepted!" "Kenny Smith, who is in charge of the commentary on the game on TNT channel, shouted, and his partner Charles Barkley said quickly: "Bobby is too careless!"

"This Kings team is all passing and running, full of energy...... The ball was slapped away, O'Neill saved the ball!" CCTV5 channel, Zhang Weiping's tone suddenly improved, and Sun Zhengping was about to say something: "Hey......"

Looking at O'Neill flying over in the field, with a huge body of more than 300 pounds, Wang Yang's pores suddenly shrank, and his feet reflexively grabbed the ground, such a big person smashed over and occupied at least two or three seats!

Everything was in a natural reaction, Wang Yang's right little arm was already stuck in the abdomen of O'Neill, his palm grabbed the big fat waist, his feet supported the whole person to get up, and the retracted left hand was raised and pressed under O'Neill's armpit, mixed under his feet, and pushed his hands to the right side together!

So the national audience and the global audience who were watching this Christmas battle saw this scene, only to see O'Neill fly to the side seat, and then a person suddenly stood up from the seat, and made a hug and fall on the huge body that was oncoming, and then saw O'Neill lying on the floor.

"Oh-!" A low exclamation rang out from the Staples Arena, and nearly 20,000 spectators stared at the corner, what was going on!?

Jessica, who was pushed to the side, opened her mouth wide in surprise, and next to her were celebrities such as Kirsten Dunst, Tom Cruise, and Jack Nicholson, players such as Kobe, Webb, and Fisher on the court, and Phil Jackson, referees, and cheerleaders under the basketball hoop...... They were all stunned, only the photographers kept pressing the camera shutter excitedly.

"Oh my God!" Barkley exclaimed, "Marvelous Young brought Shaquille down!" and let out a burst of wow-oh-Kenny Smith laughed, "Charles, I bet if it were your ass sitting over, Jan wouldn't be able to push it away, it's too fat!"

Wang Yang looked at O'Neill on the floor, he was also stunned, and asked, "Shaquille, are you okay?" He turned his head to glance at Jessica again, but fortunately didn't hit her. Jack Nicholson, who was wearing a black suit and purple shirt and sunglasses, stood up nervously, clapped his hands and said, "Big guy, you're not hurt, right? What's wrong!?" Kirsten Dunst looked at Wang Yang and whispered: "Kung Fu ......"

"Well, I'm fine. O'Neill, who was lying on the floor, crawled up, and he danced from side to side with his hands a few times, and smiled angrily to show that he was fine. I heard Wang Yang say, "Sorry man, I was a conditioned reflex just now." O'Neill snorted, suddenly stepped forward and held Wang Yang's head with both hands, bent down and kissed him on the forehead: "mumu-"

The big TV screen above the stadium was immediately filled with pictures of Wang Yang being kissed by a shark, and the surrounding audience suddenly cheered and cheered joyfully, and many spectators laughed and applauded. The camera swept over Jessica, who was standing on the sidelines, and saw a playful smile on her face, and Kirsten, who was also standing, smiled at her, "He's so strong!" Jessica applauded and laughed, "Yes." ”

"Jessica is going to curse!" TNT channel, Barkley shouted in a foley voice, "Go away, that's my territory!" Kenny Smith suddenly laughed, "Charlie, Charlie, are you going to make a new bet?

Barkley has already learned a lesson, how can he agree, the gambler still has to be an incredible Wonderful? Everyone says he can't, but he's the kind of guy who can do it? He snorted and laughed: "It's not basketball, we're talking about basketball! If Fantastic Young can pick up more than 20 points in an NBA game, I'll kiss your stinky ass!"

Kenny Smith laughed, "Be careful! He's only 22 years old, and if he goes to the draft, the team will be vying for it." Look at his reflexes and physicality when he takes down Shaquille, as well as his IQ, it's definitely a top PG ......"

Hehe, the camera is on the sidelines, O'Neill is kissing the male fan who just pushed him down. Zhang Weiping didn't know who the black-haired Asian was, and he seemed to have a little impression, but he couldn't say it. Sun Zhengping was naturally even more unrecognizable, and simply remained silent without saying anything, and after a long time, he suddenly screamed: "Good ball! O'Neill vigorously filled the frame with both hands!" Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "It's a little interesting!"

After this sudden episode, everyone sat back and watched the ball game that continued. Wang Yang gently massaged the muscles of his right forearm, after all, O'Neal was 300 pound tonnage, and Tona suddenly made it a little painful, he looked at Jessica next to him, and laughed softly: "Look, I'm fighting for you again." Jessica also reached out and stroked his arm, and smiled softly, "Thank you, my knight." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile in Chinese: "It's a hero." Jessica nodded, "Prawns." ”

More than five minutes before the end of the game, the Kings widened the gap to 13 points, although the Lakers then scored five consecutive points to chase the score to 89-92, but as Bibby broke the ball and counterattacked, and then Fisher and O'Neal missed three consecutive shots, while Webb made a jump shot, the Kings completely extinguished the momentum of the Lakers' counterattack, and finally won 105-99 on the road, fulfilling Webb's promise before the game to "send distress to the Lakers at Christmas".

One day after Christmas, the calendar flipped to the 27th, and the screening week ended on December 21-26.

In the second week of this Christmas schedule, the total box office in North America is as high as 325 million US dollars, and the top position of this week is "The Lord of the Rings 2: Two Towers", which swept 111 million box office in 3,622 theaters and won the weekly chart with an absolute advantage, and the newly released "Personal Lover" received 17.52 million box office in 2,755 theaters, ranking third, relative to the 60 million cost, it has become another comedy victim.

"The Hangover," which "hit a man's heart," took the runner-up position, taking in 61.24 million in 2,935 theaters, a 28% drop from last week, a figure that met the company's expectations, with a total of 146 million in two weeks of screening, and it is almost certain that it will surpass "Beverly Hills Detective" to become the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time.

In the overseas region, "The Hangover" also continued to have satisfactory results this week, after sweeping away the box office of 43.65 million, the total overseas box office figure rose to 105.8 million, and the global box office was 251.8 million.
