Under the clear blue skies of Las Vegas, on the verdant lawn outside a small church, it seems that a wedding is taking place. The groom in a black suit and the bride in a beautiful white wedding dress are shaking hands and looking at each other sweetly, behind them is a huge wedding cake that is 1.8 meters high, and there are several tables and chairs full of food in front of them, and family and friends in formal clothes are seated.

But on the right side of the lawn, there is a long guide rail, the camera is mounted on the moving car, aimed at the wedding scene, Wang Yang sits in the cameraman's position in the car, using the viewfinder to determine the angle of the lens, and on the top side of the lawn, Harry George is operating another film camera shooting, and everyone in the film crew is doing their part.

This is a speeding car scene, the hangover trio was attacked by an unknown gangster muscular man on the side of the road when they tracked down Stu's marriage, and then they were chased and killed, after a frantic chase and escaped, the trio in a police car crashed into a lot of signs, vehicles and other objects, in order to get rid of the gangsters' sports car, they rushed to the small church on the side of the road, speeding through the lawn, and also ruined the wedding of the innocent couple in a mess.

Wang Yang had planned to find a wooden church to crash into, but the trio drove into the church in a police car, smashing countless chairs and passing through the walls, while the priest in the church screamed in fright...... However, Las Vegas does not have such a suitable wooden church, and even if there is, it will probably not be agreed to be destroyed, and it will take a long time to build a new church.

So it was changed to an outdoor lawn, a speeding police car crashed into a huge wedding cake, and this wedding in progress.

"Okay, are you all ready?" Wang Yang put down the viewfinder, picked up the megaphone and said with a smile: "Everyone finish filming early, we still have to enjoy this wedding." Harry George's voice rang out: "I'm already here for that." Everyone around also responded, Wang Yang nodded, and shouted to the microphone in his hand: "OK, action!"

After receiving the signal, the police car, which was parked far away, started moving. It is not difficult to shoot this set of shots, but it is more cumbersome, and each type of lens from different angles needs to be taken apart to shoot, such as shooting the expressions of the trio in the car from the front angle of the car, shooting from the rear of the car, and the expressions of the bride and groom, etc., which need to be shot several times to take different materials.

The windshield of the police car had been smashed all over the cracks, the rear-view mirror on the left was gone, and a wooden sign was stuck between the police lights on it, and it rushed onto the lawn at high speed, and Bradley's panicked voice came from the loudspeaker: "Go away, go away!

Seeing the police car rushing towards them, everyone attending the wedding immediately screamed in shock, hurriedly got up to dodge, and the bride and groom also threw themselves on the lawn with "ahhhh

Capon, Bang ...... The police car smashed the tables, chairs and benches into the air, the food plates on them fell one after another, and in a crazy and frightened scream of "ahhhhhh

Everyone on the lawn looked at the police car that disappeared into the corner in front of them in horror, and they cursed angrily for a few seconds, and the groom, who was covered in cream cakes, stood up and scolded: "**! Dead note, I must complain! I remember you!"

After filming all the shots of this part, the crew filmed the next footage of driving on the road in the afternoon, which is also the last work of the police car part, for which the crew needed to use a rocker camera car. Looking at the picture on the monitor, through the car window, Wang Yang looked at the police car moving together outside, picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Guys, action!"

"Oh my God, oh my God......" In the police car, Ed and Bradley were still scared and still didn't come to their senses, and the baby in the back seat cried loudly. Zack, who looked sluggish, wiped a handful of cake stuck to the car door, put it in his mouth and ate it, and nodded: "I hate Chuck's cheese shop, but it's quite sweet." ”

Eddard clawed his hands into claws, and was about to cry out and shouted "What the fuck happened!" Bradley in front of him gasped and said, "Calm down, calm down! Everything will be fine, ok? What are you arguing about!" Ed yelled angrily, "You're fucking calm!

At this time, the little baby next to him cried louder and louder, Ed took a deep breath, made a downward motion with his two index fingers, turned around to comfort the baby, and said, "It's okay." But the baby continued to cry, and Zach took out a bridal doll in a wedding dress and stuffed it into the baby's hand, and the baby's eyes suddenly widened: "Hmm?"

"Where did this come from?" Ed asked with some confusion, Zach pointed out the car window and said seriously, "I don't know, she flew outside just now, and I caught it." ”

As time passed, the filming process of "The Hangover" advanced rapidly every day amid laughter, and the trio's interpretation became more and more handy, completely letting go of themselves to be funny. Seeing such a strong and fun chemical reaction, Wang Yang was naturally very happy, and decided to reshoot some of the scenes where they were young before and can now act better, so as to get the best hilarious effect.

Soon March 24th, a major event in the film entertainment industry will be held, that is, the annual Oscars.

This year's Oscars will take place at the Kodak Theatre, which was completed only in November last year. After 911, security was a top priority for this kind of celebrity ceremony, and tonight all hotels, shopping malls, subway and bus stations near the Kodak Theater were closed, no planes were allowed to pass through this area of the Kodak Theater, and there were security guards patrolling inside and outside the theater and on Hollywood Avenue where the theater was located.

This year's media predictions and critics' voices are very scattered, and the biggest voice among fans is of course "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Lord of the Rings", hoping that it can sweep all the awards, but the media is not optimistic about the Oscars will have this shocking change, they are more optimistic about the academic orthodoxy "A Beautiful Mind".

In the race for Best Actor, Russell Crowe, who has been nominated for the third year in a row, is the favorite, Denzel Washington, who has performed brilliantly in "Training Day", and for Best Actress, Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman, who are nominated for the first time, are the most talked-about favorites.

In addition to the nominees who will be present, the guest list for the gala is equally star-studded, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, ...... The 3,500-seat auditorium is filled with countless first-line superstars and stars, and Wang Yang will also attend this grand ceremony as a guest of honor.

Two months ago, he was very surprised when he received this invitation from the Oscar organizers, it seems that he is completely regarded as a "popular star", but in fact he is indeed a popular "idol director", so is it to award the best original screenplay or the best director? or the best song or something? When he smiled and agreed, but a few days ago, something even more surprising happened to him, he actually wanted to present the award for best actress.

Night had already fallen in Los Angeles, and the star-studded Kodak Theater, hosted by black actress Whoopi Goldberg, presented one award after another, and applause, cheers, and happy and excited thanks rang out non-stop.

"The Lord of the Rings 1" won four technical awards including Best Cinematography and Best Makeup, Best Animated Feature was taken home by "Shrek", and Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer Connelly, "A Beautiful Mind") and Best Supporting Actor (Jim Broadbent, "Life Together") all had results. At this time, the party has come to the final stage, and the best actress, one of the four main awards, is about to be awarded.

In the applause of more than 3,000 people, Wang Yang, who was dressed in a handsome black suit, walked out of the stage with a smile and walked out of the side of the stage with an envelope containing the award results, and came to the microphone in the center of the stage. The length of the evening will be 4 hours, and each award presenter will naturally have something to say.

"It's great to be on this stage. Looking at the crowd in suits and evening dresses in front of him, Wang Yang smiled, glanced at those familiar faces, Jessica, who was smiling happily, Natalie who was interested, and Will Smith, who brought his family...... He smiled again: "But it's a pity that I'm holding an envelope, not a little golden man." Everyone smiled lightly, and Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders again: "What's even more frustrating is that the person written in the envelope can never be me." ”

The Kodak Theater suddenly resounded with laughter, and there was a burst of heckling shouts, Natalie laughed and clapped, and said with a smile in her heart: "It's definitely not the only one." ”

"The best actress is always beautiful, smart, funny, kind, cute......" Wang Yang continued to say, one by one good words to describe women were said in an orderly manner, the audience gradually burst into applause and laughter, he continued to say without breathing: "Down-and-out and generous, good cooking, a good daughter, a good girlfriend, a good wife, a good mother, a good grandmother......!

The laughter in the audience rang for a long time before it gradually stopped, Wang Yang held up the envelope with a smile, looked at Jessica who was smiling and covering her mouth with her hands, and said a little puzzled: "Then are we awarding Best Actress or Best Woman?" I don't know, but I know that every nominee, not nominated, and all women, as long as they have one of the above advantages, are the best actresses in their lives, and they always have them. ”

The audience immediately applauded, and looking at the applause below, he leaned closer to the microphone and whispered, "No, I didn't say that women are always acting. Immediately the applause turned into laughter, both men and women were overjoyed, and the decibel of laughter set a new record for the Kodak Theater Oscar Gala.

When the laughter slowly subsided, Wang Yang smiled: "Let's take a look at this year's list of Best Actress nominees, Halle Berry, "Dance of Death Row Inmates." As he spoke, a clip of the nominee's film played on the big screen behind him, and there was a round of applause from the audience, and the short-haired Halle Berry also applauded with a smile on her face. After the clip ended, Wang Yang read again: "Judi Dench, "Hand in Hand." ”

The applause and cheers below suddenly became even louder, and the 67-year-old Judi Dench is a respected and legendary British actress who has won numerous BAFTA awards or nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, and this is her second Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge. Nicole Kidman danced on the screen, and in the midst of applause, Nicole smiled seemingly calmly. Wang Yang finally read: "Sissi Spicek, "The Edge of the Accident...... Renee Zellwig, "BJ's Diary of a Bachelor" ”

After reading the entire list of nominations, under the attention of more than 3,500 people in the audience, Wang Yang opened the envelope in his hand, and the big screen was divided into five grids, Harley and Nicole looked very serious, Judy smiled kindly, and the other two all understood that they were here to accompany them, and smiled very normally.

"The winner is. Wang Yang took out the results in the envelope, glanced at them, and somewhat understood why the organizers would let him present this award, he smiled and announced: "Halle Berry, Dance of Death Row Inmates!" After that, he smiled and applauded for her happily.

But before he finished speaking, the scene had already sounded a passionate soundtrack, the audience applauded and cheered wildly, and many people stood up to congratulate her, and the first black Oscar actress was born! Halle Berry was completely overwhelmed with surprise, grabbed the hands of her friends on the left and right, and kept saying, "Oh, my God! Oh, my God......"

She seemed so excited that she couldn't stand up, hugged and kissed her face with her friend next to her, and after a while, amid thunderous applause and screams, she staggered onto the stage, muttering in disbelief, "Is this true?

Wang Yang took the little golden figure from the hands of the staff, stepped forward and gave her a light hug, but Halle Berry hugged him tightly excitedly, and was about to cry, Wang Yang congratulated her in her ear: "Congratulations, your performance is really good, and it deserves it." Halle Berry choked up and laughed, "Thank you, thank you......" It took a while for her to let go of him, and he handed the little golden man into Halle Berry's hand and stood aside with applause.

"Ahhh..................h Woo, ahaha...... I'm sorry......"

She took a few deep breaths, tried to adjust her mood, and finally, with difficulty, she said a complete sentence with difficulty: "This moment, it is so significant, compared to it, I am so insignificant...... The moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horn, Diane Carroll. It's for women of the same skin color as me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox, ......"

It took a long time for Halle Berry to finish her 4-minute continuous acceptance speech, and Wang Yang walked backstage with her with a smile.

When the 74th Academy Awards came to an end, all the awards were settled, Russell Crowe became this year's Oscar winner with "A Beautiful Mind", "A Beautiful Mind" also won Best Picture, and Ron Howard Best Director became the biggest winner this year.

Afterwards, media reports naturally emerged in endlessly, and in some lace comments, Wang Yang was also unanimously selected by many media as "the most interesting award presenter of this year". In the Oscar feature of the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times, it was also mentioned: "Fantastic Young personally showed his humor on the Oscar stage this time, and his short talk show-style words even made people think that he was the host." ”

The day after the Oscars, Wang Yang continued to return to Las Vegas to shoot "The Hangover," but there was another basketball event that caught his eye in March, the UCAA National Championship, but USC was eliminated in the first round and he switched to favor the promising University of Maryland. In the championship game on April 1, the University of Maryland lived up to expectations and defeated Indiana University to win the championship.

Flame Films also purchased a 120-second advertising space for the championship game, showing two different 30-second trailers for "Sweetheart" and "Ice Age" respectively, and making enough TV promotion for "Sweetheart" to be released on April 26 and "Ice Age" on May 10. Of course, this is not the only point of publicity work, Annie Fletcher, Jessica, Scarlett, Michael Pitt and other "Sweetheart" creators have already started city tours of promotional activities, interviews with local media, local TV shows, and some fan meetings.

In terms of cooperating with the publicity work, Wang Yang, the producer, can be said to be quite derelict in his duties, only recording a talk show with Jessica in Los Angeles, and then staying on the happy set every day to play.

In the bright and spacious casino of Caesars Palace Hotel, the various gaming tables are still full of tourists and gamblers, cheers and sighs one after another. A long time ago, the crew negotiated with the hotel to shoot on the bread table in the casino, but it could not hinder other gamblers, but it turned out that the hotel's concerns were superfluous, and no one paid attention to them as a movie crew, and the gamblers who were addicted to gambling simply didn't know that they were making a movie.

"Haha,**!Black Jack, he's finished! He's finished!" Bradley, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and had her hair combed softly, was full of excitement, and raised the middle fingers of both hands in the direction of the camera, and shouted while jumping: "**-you, **-you!"

Sitting in the middle of the table was Zack, who was wearing a white suit with one swollen eye, and he looked at the playing cards on the table with a serious face, his lips slightly open, as if he was counting cards. Next to him sat Ed Helms, who was also dressed like a successful businessman, and next to him was Charlize Theron, who was wearing a red evening gown and was beautifully dressed. Seeing the cards dialed by the dealer, a total of 19 points, Ed clenched his fists and shouted, "yes!"

"The dealer is 23 o'clock, and it bursts. The dealer dialed a few cards with a blank face, and amid the ghostly screams of the crowd, he handed out the chips.

Playing the role of the gamblers at the table were Joshua and Wang Yang in casual clothes, he looked at the fat man's pile of chips as high as a hill, and said enviously: "Oh my God, what luck have you gone!" Bradley rubbed Zack's hair excitedly and smiled: "Yes, he is our lucky charm, lucky charm!" Zack was still calm, and said lightly: "Ten thousand." ”

Bradley threw out the 10,000 chips and shouted with his hands dancing, "Please, everyone, he can't afford to lose, he can't afford to lose!" Ed nodded, pointed to the white dealer, and said confidently: "Although I don't know who you are, I'm going to say, you're finished." Wang Yang also pushed all the chips out happily and said, "**, I'm following!"

Joshua almost burst out laughing at the familiar scene, and he hurriedly looked at the long recording boom over there, as well as a camera with a fixed frontal angle, and a camera that Harry George was carrying on his shoulder to capture close-ups, to distract himself. He glanced at the mature and sexy Charlize Theron again, and sighed secretly: "If that Scarlett is as beautiful as her, whether she is a dancer or not, I will definitely not divorce." ”

At this time, the dealer sent out the cards that the prop master had already arranged one by one, Ed and Charlize got 10 and K, the two of them immediately laughed, Ed slapped the table, and said, "You're finished!" Zach got A and J, and it was Black Jack again, and Bradley behind him raised his hands like crazy and shouted: "**-you!

Wang Yang watched everyone's performance, and couldn't help laughing, fortunately, at this time, his cards were also sent down, it was 9 and Q, and he hurriedly laughed: "Shit! What the hell is going on?!" In this movie, this gambling table is not the protagonist, now these hip-hop scenes are just a warm-up, and in the near future, he will come back here again to shoot a cool movie.

Of course, maybe you won't be able to go back here then, for many casinos in Las Vegas, card counting is a taboo, and the current hotel managers don't know that these shots they are taking now are card counting, and they think it's just ordinary gambling.

"The dealer is 22 o'clock, and it blows up. The dealer still said with a dead face, and the table suddenly went crazy, everyone won a lot of chips, and screamed with joy: "**!**!" Only the fat Zack continued to look indifferent, and his palm seemed to be pressed on the table with feeling.

"Cut!" Wang Yang stood up with a smile, gave a thumbs up to everyone, and said, "It's all very, very good!"
