Chapter 451: Happy New Year
Below is the list of nominees for Best Director in a Film, George Clooney, "Good Night, Good Luck", Ang Lee, "Brokeback Mountain", Bennett Miller, "Capote", Steven Spielberg, "Munich", Wang Yang, "Firefly". The Directors' Guild Award was won by ......"
In Los Angeles at night, the National Directors Guild Building, the headquarters of the Directors Guild, the 58th Directors Guild Awards Ceremony (DGA) is underway, the guests are full, the award nominees, stars and media reporters have been present, 8 TV director awards have been awarded, the film documentary trophy was lifted by Werner Herzog of "Grizzly Man", and now it is time for the ultimate award for Best Director of Film, and the audience is quietly looking at the stage.
The award presenters were Amy Rosen and Zhang Ziyi, probably from the direction of the two popular candidates Wang Yang and Ang Lee, the two saw the award-winning names on the envelope, Amy's heart was suddenly full of disappointment, and Zhang Ziyi laughed and said: "Ang Lee, "Brokeback Mountain". β
"Wow!", "Whew-" The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and Wang Yang and his wife, who had come back from San Diego to attend the ceremony, also laughed and applauded, but if there is a super slow-motion replay shot by a high-speed camera, you can see that Jessica's pretty face is crazy and hideous first...... No matter what, the union award ceremony ended in bursts of applause, and the media rushed to report it, needless to say that Yang fans were very disappointed, originally when Wang Yang won the DGA again, plus LAFCA, ASA, BFCA, GGA, this year's Oscar Best Director can be said to be nine out of ten, and now the DGA belongs to Ang Lee, and the fog has risen and filled again.
Because he won the DGA but didn't get the Oscar, only 6 times, the most recent was in 2003: "DGA: Rob Marshall, "Chicago", Oscar: Wang Yang, "District 9" and the last time in 2001: "DGA: Ang Lee, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Oscar: Steven Soderbergh, "Drug Network" Both are X-factors, one reversed, the other reversed, so will there be a 7th DGA and Oscar mismatch this year? This largely depends on how many votes Wang Yang lost to Ang Lee in the DGA, you must know that nearly forty percent of the voting judges for the Oscar for Best Director are from the directors' union, if Wang Yang is greatly defeated, the chance is slim; on the contrary, if the difference in the number of votes is weak, it may be "upset" at any time, the problem is that except for the accounting firm, everyone is not clear about the specific situation.
Previously, at the 17th Producers Guild Awards announced on January 22, "Firefly" also lost to "Brokeback Mountain", Diana Oshana and James Sharmus teamed up again to lift the Best Picture trophy, and "Kung Fu Panda" continued to lose to "Super Invincible Boss Dog: The Curse of the Human Rabbit", and Wang Yang, who was in Park City that day, did not attend.
Losing the GGA Best Picture, PGA Best Picture, and DGA Best Director, the situation of "Firefly" hitting the Oscars can be said to be not optimistic, and the 12th Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) Awards Ceremony, another highly watched award, will be held tomorrow on the evening of the 29th.
January 20-26 has ended, and the newly released "Tales of the Night 2: Evolution" won the first week box office with 33.2 million, but its Rotten Tomatoes freshness is only 16%/6%, and the audience likes it 77%. Although the producer and distributor Screen Gem did not announce the cost of this sequel, but referring to the 22 million production cost of "Tales of the Night", I believe that Screen Gem has a reason to be happy, despite this, the audience does not seem to buy werewolves, vampires or anything, for a fire movie with a box office of 120 million, will "Twilight" have a "normal" performance in the future?
Fans are very concerned about this, but now FF's success continues to expand, and "Brokeback Mountain" has expanded to 1,251 theaters (+500) across the United States in one fell swoop, and this week it took 10.77 million to rank third, and the total box office has reached 51 million.
The fifth week of "500 Days with Shamo" received 6.81 million (-45%), with a total box office of 226.8 million in North America; it has been fully released in overseas markets, especially in Asia, it is even more popular, as a Chinese New Year movie, it has blown a small fresh whirlwind in the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, although the narrative style of the film is not the mainstream model, but "there is a box office", the media and the public are quite fond of the temperament revealed by the film, and prefer the theme of lovelorn healing, "Shamo" It has become a hot word on the Chinese network and has become one of the most popular search terms.
"Why did they miss it? I think the problem is that they have different starting points, Tom started with the idea that everything will be natural, and Abe copied the idea to date Shamo, and Shamo has been through many relationships before, and it may not be ideal, so she doesn't really want to toss, doesn't it mean that a woman's dream is to wear a wedding dress? In fact, Shamo hinted to Tom that he wanted him to propose to her, but he didn't understand it...... He missed all the opportunities, and the woman became someone else's. I remember some people saying that when he saw his wife for the first time, he said that she would be my wife, and when someone saw a woman, the first thing they felt was that I liked her, and I think there was a difference, and the things of men and women were really complicated, especially women's minds, but the film was really good. Amelie said.
"500 Days with Shamo" could have been titled "She Doesn't Really Like You That Much", and it's painful to love someone who loves someone more deeply, someone who is much better than you, and you're afraid of losing her, but she's not worried about losing you......" Magic Cinderella wrote a long and large film review.
"I hesitate and can't promise because I'm not sure, and I was surprised to get married in the summer, because I didn't meet someone who was sure before, and I was sure that everything was so natural, and fate was not what one person thought, and it was a matter of two people to determine each other, and we identified each other. Bi'er said, "You may be a tea fan: "A movie worth savoring, just like drinking Pu'er tea, has the aroma of the vintage, the smoothness of the entrance, the taste of astringency and slightly acidity, and the sweetness of no sweetness." Sauce must be a young girl: "What does Wonder Young think......? The male pig's feet are a bit obscene...... I really can't love this face...... Before the puppet class, a pervert grabbed my hand~~!! is like this!! this face !!!Oh buy embarrassed~~!!"
"It's hard to describe the mixed feelings I had when I watched this movie, having just broken up with her, and not knowing if this was the antidote to the wound or the poison that kept me struggling. Anyway, I still agree with the feeling at that time, everyone will encounter the good, the bad, the happy, the painful, everything, the time will come, no one the fuck knows, so let it fucking pass quickly. "Man lives for a lifetime to say so...... Everyone has their own Hamlet, Shamo and a set of opinions, but what is certain is that "500 Days" has received high marks, the overseas box office has already exceeded 100 million, and the global box office has almost effortlessly exceeded 300 million US dollars, from 1998 to the present, all ten films directed by Wang Yang have exceeded 300 million box office.
58thDGA revealed that this day was the Chinese New Year's Eve, the night was intense, two huge red lanterns were hung outside the gate of Wang Yang's house, and a pair of calligraphy calligraphy was not very well written Spring League: "The baby is healthy and happy, the whole family is happy" horizontal criticism: "Yang Chang is outstanding", full of festive and joyful atmosphere.
It's just that it's been a long time since she came back from the awards ceremony, and Jessica is still chattering angrily, knowing that she won't come back to attend, and it's really a bit disturbing to be messed up by the DGA on a good Chinese New Year's Eve night! Twice! Winning the Golden Globe twice in a row and not winning the union award, ahhhhh......h In the dimly lit spacious bedroom, the husband and wife were lying on the bed talking, Wang Yang looked at her sideways, and asked seriously: "Do you know the problem of the filming location of "I Am Legend". Jessica also leaned sideways into his arms, and replied YEP, Wang Yang put his right hand around her, and asked, "Where did you say to shoot? San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York?" Jessica thought silently, and said a little puzzled: "Why do you ask me? I don't know much about filmmaking, but ...... I feel that New York is emptier than California. β
"It's not about the production, it's about our lives. Wang Yang gently stroked the back of her hair and shoulders, and told her in more detail about the impact of the shooting location, preparation and shooting, this is a long-term residence, these seem to have nothing to do with before, Salt Lake City is Salt Lake City, Vancouver is Vancouver, since having a child, many things have changed, he finally said: "Sweetheart, your opinion is very important, you decide." β
Jessica nodded, while intoxicated by his gentle caresses, her neck was crispy and itchy, she looked into his eyes and asked with a smile: "Then I have a few questions, where is it better for the movie?"
Wang Yang thought with round eyes, and said: "California and New York have their own charms, and the feeling they shoot is different, California will be milder, New York will be more oppressive, and the audience will be more panicked and depressed...... I can't say which one is better, but New York is better. Jessica immediately asked, "Where do you want to shoot the most?" I mean just think about the film itself, don't think about life, me and Keke. Wang Yang was silent for a moment, holding her face with both hands, "You are more important than movies and everything, family comes first, I am not the kind of person who pursues art and career, and then doesn't care about anything, understand?"
"Me neither. Jessica suddenly laughed, her beautiful eyes rolled up, and she continued to smile and ask: "The last question, can't you live in New York? Do you have any other work matters to take care of?" Wang Yang has already thought about these questions: "Actually, you can still take care of it, and there will be more by plane." He smiled as he spoke: "There's no doubt that I love life in California, but New York is not a native forest. β
"So we're going to turn it into a primeval forest!" Jessica kissed him before she said softly and seriously: "My dear, you must know that I have been moving around since I was a child, and after becoming an actor, I have been going everywhere all these years, these are too simple for me, I am like a migratory bird! I am a housewife now, where can I live? As long as you and Keke have a family, even if you say that you want to live on Mars for half a year and a year, I don't care." She smiled and said, "Young, don't forget what gave us this, don't forget your pursuit, the movie, my opinion is, where it's better!"
"OK, I think I have an idea...... Wang Yang nodded with a smile, he was really moved by her mature and virtuous appearance, "snap", he slapped her buttocks hard, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Big Bird!" Jessica pinched his face, "Happy New Year." β
"Happy New Year. "Happy New Year. "Happy New Year. Sentence by sentence, the eyes of the two staring at each other became more and more intense, and they could hear each other's heartbeats, Wang Yang said in a low voice: "Do you know what I want to do most now?" Jessica bit her lip softly: "What?" He suddenly hugged her tightly into his arms, flattened her and turned over, his hands exploring her graceful posture, "Our couplet." Jessica, who was slightly coquettish, suddenly laughed: "I'll take it down tomorrow." Wang Yang was surprised and said, "Why? Isn't SEX a part of happiness?"
"You know what we're talking about. "I know what we're doing!", ...... "Do you like it?", "Wow! this is the best New Year's present, yesβthat's it!" ...... "It's my time." "Oh, oh, oh, oh. ββ¦β¦ The sky is gradually getting brighter, the sun jumps into the sky, and the morning of the first day of the new year is coming! It's just that Los Angeles regulations strictly prohibit private fireworks, and firecrackers can only be set off to celebrate in some concessions in Chinatown, and the traditional event Golden Dragon Parade will not be held until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the firecracker race will be held on February 12, and the atmosphere and activities are much worse than San Francisco's Chinatown, and even less than the Wuhan Plum Blossom Festival, but on the first day of the new year this year, Wang Yang's family is destined to spend time in Los Angeles, and the New Year's atmosphere at home is not bad.
In the spacious kitchen, Danny, who is wearing a set of red clothes with the word "Fu", is very eye-catching, he is happily enjoying breakfast, this meal with some ham and eggs, I really don't know what's wrong, eat it and then count.
Wang Yang and Jessica have a sacred tradition to start, to give Keke New Year's money. There is no child from an ordinary family who does not look forward to this, an annual event! Wang Yang has also been looking forward to it since he was a child, and the harvest year is particularly impressive, so the more festivals, the better.
"How much have you sealed?" On the sofa side of the living room, Wang Yang shook the red envelope with "Congratulations on the New Year" written in his hand and painted with boys and girls as congratulations, and Jessica was also shaking a red envelope of the same style: "What about you?" Wang Yang shrugged and glanced at the red envelope, there was only a 100 yuan dollar bill in it, he didn't want Keke to grow up too delicately, it was very necessary to strictly control her economy, and she must not give whatever she wanted, children who don't know how to cherish are not good children, and they will miss a lot of childhood fun, he smiled: " Not too much. β
Jessica also looked at the red envelope, raised her eyebrows and said, "Me too, not too much." Wang Yang frowned a little suspiciously, and reached out to take it: "The red envelope looks very bulging, ten Franklin (1000)?" Jessica raised the red envelope and avoided it sideways: "It's just one, but I wrote some messages to HOPE." Wang Yang didn't grab it again, and smiled: "Wow, romantic." Jesse, I have to remind you that there is an old saying that 'a loving mother loses her children,' which means you can't spoil your children. Jessica laughed when she heard this: "Am I like Young, who was raised by his parents to spoil him? An Asian takes a B? If it were my father, he would have confiscated your Super Eight a long time ago." β
"Shhhh Wang Yang hurriedly booed, Keke lying on the sofa was blinking his big eyes and eating his fists for fun: "Huh?" Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "It's that they don't dote on you, I'm afraid you will give Keke too much." Jessica rolled her eyes: "Please, I know kids!" She suddenly laughed again: "Haha, it looks like we have a clear camp, you're a bad cop." Wang Yang said helplessly: "OK...... I'm not!"
"Happy New Year, baby, and Daddy wishes you a healthy and happy growth. Wang Yang squatted down and put the red envelope in Keke's little hand, who had learned to grasp things, and kissed her little face; then Jessica also squatted down and put the red envelope in her daughter's hand, with a funny and very sincere smile, leaned over and kissed her little face: "Sweetheart, Happy New Year, Mom wishes you a healthy and happy growth." Keke, who was wearing a red shirt with the word "Fu" and wrapped in diapers, curiously grabbed two red envelopes and stuffed them into his mouth: "Oh." β
"Wait! It's not tasty. Wang Yang shouted, took two red envelopes from his daughter's hand, and put them on her little belly, but Jessica glared at him: "Look, who dotes?" Wang Yang opened his mouth and took a long breath, defending himself: "I don't think now is the stage to let her use everything as food." β
Jessica put the red envelope back into Keke's hand again, and sneered: "When, then, the baby learns to contact the world like this, you can't destroy the ......" She took the opportunity to teach him a big lesson, Wang Yang didn't speak, and only said after a long time: "Can we stand up and talk about ......?"
Listening to the two cordial voices, Keke raised the red envelopes to her mouth and sucked them hard, her little hand was released again, and the red envelopes fell to the sofa next to her, and Jessica, who was finally satisfied, also picked them up and stored them in a prepared exquisite mahogany box, and then opened these New Year's red envelopes with her own when Keke grew up.
Soon there were more red envelopes from grandparents and others in the box, but they could only be put in after Wang Yang's rubbing. Joshua also gave one, there is really no money in the thin red envelope, only 50 yuan, not that he is stingy with his niece, he is now working hard for the production plan, and he doesn't know how much he needs to pay for the production, because he doesn't have a script at hand, but he has made a breakthrough, and he decided to make a horror film!
Horror films are low-cost and high-box office concentration camps, and compared with those independent films that pay attention to connotation, horror film scripts that are scary are easier to distinguish between good and bad and operate, which is really suitable for a rookie like him, and he also thinks that he has a high sense of horror films and has a certain talent. Now the key next step is to find a good script that fits, or find a screenwriter to write it, and then make a budget and find investment.
Although there was no Golden Dragon Parade, Wang Yang and Jessica still took Keke to the New China Town with lanterns to catch up with the excitement, the scenery was more beautiful at night, but they had to put on formal dresses and go to the Sylangor Exhibition Center to attend the 12th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
"Here's the list of nominees for the best cast of a comedy in the series, "Stalled Development," "Dampening Passion," "Desperate Housewives," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Fool's Good Deeds," "The Big Bang Theory," and the Screen Actors Guild Award went to ......Desperate Housewives"!"
I saw the TNT and TBS channels, which were broadcast live, and the packed ceremony hall was thunderous with applause, and the guests applauded with their hands, Terry Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Hoffman and others stood up and hugged each other in celebration. Kalei Tsoko and others were also applauding and laughing, Wang Yang, who was sitting in the front row, was also not depressed, happily chatting with Jessica next to him, and he kept on camera again tonight, but it was a pity for TNT and TBS that the organizers could not invite Magic Yang to present the award.
Tonight, the director is not the protagonist, the actors are, after the housewives who took the stage to receive the award thanked them, they also made New Year's congratulations on the Lunar New Year, and the glamorous housewives laughed and shouted: "Happy Spring Festival!"
The previous Best Actor in a Series Comedy went to Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Best Actress went to Felicity Hoffman (DH), Best Actor in a Series Kifer Sutherland (24 Hours), Best Actress Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy), Best Actor in a Short Play or TV Movie Paul Newman (The Fall of an Empire) and Best Actress S. Ipassa Merksson (Lackvana Bruce).
"Lost" won the best cast in a series of dramas, this year's Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to Shirley Temple, the film awards, the best actor trophy was won by Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Capote"), Best Actress Reese Witherspoon ("Unstoppable"), the two who won the GGA and then won the SGA can almost be said to have locked in this year's Oscar Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor: Paul Giamati ("The Iron Fist Man"), Best Supporting Actress: Rachel Weisz (" The Immortal Gardener).
"Firefly" was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor, but the ultimate award for Best Movie Performance has not yet been announced!
"The nominees for Best Cast in a Motion Picture were, "Brokeback Mountain", "Capote", "Firefly", "Good Night, Good Luck", and "The Stream", and the Screen Actors Guild Award went to ......"
Jessica was so nervous that she couldn't help but hold Wang Yang's hand, she wanted to take the stage to thank the director in front of the world, tell him that she loved him, and tell Keke that she loved her! Oh my God! I forgot that speech a little, oh my God, could it be "Firefly"? Oh my God, oh my God! Wang Yang was also beating faster and holding his breath, much more nervous than when the Directors Guild Awards were announced yesterday, his hair was a little numb, and he silently read "Firefly, Firefly", this was her evening, how he wanted to see her excited and happy! It was one of the most beautiful moments.
The whole audience looked at Hilary Swank on the stage, only to see her open the envelope and look down, Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams, Jake Gyllenhaal, George Clooney, David Strathone, Robert Downey Jr., Alan Pegg, Terrence Howard...... There was a flash of nervousness in everyone's TV audience when they heard Swank say, "Good night, good luck." β
"Wow!", "Whew-" The Xuelan Exhibition Center suddenly resounded with thunderous applause and cheers! Although Wang Yang was smiling and clapping, he belonged to the kind of skin that didn't smile, his heart was very uncomfortable, full of an urge to scold, FUCK! How could it be "Good Night, Good Luck", Jessica Their performance was so good, whether it was literary drama or martial arts, everyone was so good, even including him, FUCK!, so chemical, so fresh and classic, Marl, Janeny, Walsh, Zoe, Kelly, Reva, Simon, Blue Glove, Marauder Leader, Whirlwind...... FUCKοΌ
He looked at Jessica next to him, she smiled and clapped her hands, but her eyes were a little blank, the corners of her mouth trembled almost imperceptibly, and he comforted softly: "Jessie, Jessie, it's okay......" Jessica nodded, maintaining a stiff smile: "Yes, I know, I'm nothing." β
"Thank you, thank you!" Watching George Clooney and others happily go on stage to accept the award on the screen, countless viewers in front of the TV were scolding and being deceived by the propaganda, rushing to see "Firefly" and the result was like this! Where is the performance of those movies better than "Firefly"? Many intergalactic cowboys have already picked up the remote control to turn the table, or simply turned off the TV and got up and left, they have no interest in the testimonials of Clooney and others.
The 12th SAG Awards came to an end, with the Flame Group taking home three TV trophies, and "Desperate Housewives" being the only winner to win multiple awards this year, but FF didn't get anything. At this point, the awards season has come to an end, and everyone is only waiting for the Oscar nominees to be announced on January 31.
There was silence in the dimly lit bedroom, and when she got home, Jessica finally didn't have to hide her low mood, she didn't talk much quietly, and she didn't talk much while lying on the bed, she said that she was tired and wanted to sleep, and then turned her back to him motionless. Wang Yang couldn't sleep for a while, stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, and vaguely flashed the scenes during the filming of "Firefly", her efforts, her illness, everyone's efforts, the acting competition on the set, and her smile...... Why aren't the SAG Awards them?
"HEY, sweetheart, what's wrong?" Wang Yang suddenly heard Jessica's soft sigh, he was very heartbroken, he pulled her over with both hands, only to see her frowning, her eyes were a little moist, as soon as she met his eyes, her tears suddenly welled up, and she choked up and said, "It's nothing, just a little disappointed." Wang Yang hugged her tightly, kissed her cheek, and comforted and praised: "Everyone knows how great the cast of "Firefly" is, and knows how great your performance is! Don't be denied by an award, it doesn't have that ability, understand?" Jessica nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand...... I want to thank you, I want to tell you...... Woo, Woo, Woo......" She still cried uncontrollably.
"It can only be for a while, but now is the New Year, even if it is not, we must be happy at any time. Wang Yang gently wiped her tears and kissed her lips again: "What do you want to tell me? Jessica cried and smiled at the corners of her mouth, looked at him, and said softly and tremblingly: "I want to tell you that I love you." Wang Yang touched her nose, "I already knew, and I love you too." Just as the two were about to kiss, a baby cry of "woo woo wow wow" came from the baby monitor on the bedside table.
"Look at you, you've made Keke cry too. Wang Yang laughed, and Jessica smiled: "I think it's because we didn't tell her we love her." Wang Yang said, "Maybe, maybe it's ......" and he suddenly burst into tears: "Woo woo woo - this is our way of celebrating the New Year!"
