Chapter 184: The Most Popular People

"Bajiquan pays attention to breaking through the door, and the style of play is close combat, hard hitting. ”

On a sunny and warm morning, on the lawn next to the plane tree, a big white Labrador dog was sniffing something in the pile of fallen leaves. ”

Jessica nodded seriously, today was the first day she started to learn combat fighting moves, and she asked as if she didn't understand, "You mean that when you break down a door, it's easy to be beaten." Wang Yang smiled and slowly punched a few times, and said: "Of course, the one who takes the initiative to attack is always the easiest to show flaws, so even though it is an offense, we have a hand that is still used to defend, come, you punch me and punch me, straight punch." ”

"OK!" Jessica took a thoughtful breath and swung her hands from side to side a few times before she slammed on the leaves and swung her right hand with a fist. Wang Yang didn't dodge or dodge, grabbed the little arm of her right hand with his left hand, and said quickly at the same time: "He punched over, you grab his little arm like this, and then you have a lot of choices, which is the so-called Bamen!"

As soon as he said that, Wang Yang's right fist quickly and lightly flew upward, smashing her throat and chin, and making her head rise: "Hit him in the jaw, or grab his throat and pinch him, Hugh!" Jessica coughed lightly, Wang Yang had already retracted his fist and swung it out, his right palm pushed her face and pressed it down, and then his elbow retracted and hit her soft chest downward, and his right palm grabbed her face again, and said: "Push your face and hit your chest and gouge out your eyes, and the tiger climbs the mountain hard, hurting the door!"

Closing his fist again, he slammed his feet into her feet, punched her lower abdomen with his right fist, and pushed with his left hand, saying, "Let him fall to the ground, and open the door left and right!"

Jessica was about to fall backwards to the ground, but Wang Yang hurriedly grabbed her. Jessica who's been hugged in her arms screamed, her black eyes lit up, full of excitement and a nymphomaniac red heart: "It's amazing, why can't I see you using these before?"

"What, you say fighting?" Wang Yang kissed her on the lips, and said with a smile while regaining his position: "I fight with people who have no fighting background, and they all come casually. If I fight like this, I don't know how many times I'll go to jail, and maybe kill someone. Jessica also straightened her right fist again, and said with interest: "So arrogant, master, I also want to speak with my fist!"

"I don't. Wang Yang smiled, grabbed her arm and said seriously: "But you remember, move skills do not mean everything, you have to consider yourself and your opponent's situation in actual combat! Just like with your strength, you can't stop those big fists, so ......"

He let go of her arm, turned his left hand to block, lunge to dodge, and struck her crotch with his right hand, saying, "Use all your strength to punch this one, and if that guy is a man, you can grab that thing and spin it and pop it hard...... Death's door!"

"Hmm!" Jessica asked with a look of disgust, furrowing her eyebrows, and smiling, "Is there any other move?" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll teach you the rest, this trick is called the Heavenly Cannon......"

After half an hour of laughter, the two ended the day's teaching, and after taking a shower and changing into a set of clothes, they drove out to get ready to go shopping and welcome and decorate the upcoming Christmas.

Outside the house, by the street trees, these places belong to the public area, and it is also the proper place of work for the paparazzi, Anderson, who is wearing a camouflage camera vest, has just gone to work, but as soon as he sees the grand scene in front of him, he immediately becomes a little bored, and there are two more guys! and he also robs him of his photographic position.

"Dude, this position is mine!" Anderson walked over briskly, holding a telephoto camera in both hands and carrying a photographic telescopic tripod and other equipment on his back. He looked at the bearded white man, pointed to the ground, and said in a tough tone: "This bit is mine, I am here every day!"

The blonde muscular man in a baseball cap glanced at him, his face full of disdain: "Who are you? Do you want to eat fists? Whoever comes is already who's, go away!" The paparazzi around laughed and interjected: "Beat him up!", "Anderson, I told him, that guy doesn't know the rules!", "I agree with first-come, first-served." ”…… What a hell of a thing! Anderson was so angry that he straightened his back, looked at this guy's burly body, thought about it and walked away reluctantly, it was almost Christmas, he didn't want to fight with people! Coming to a skewed vacant seat next to him, Anderson put a tripod and installed the camera, looked at the big rustic house over there, and sighed secretly, the photos taken from this angle are much worse, and the price is low!

He looked around at his peers who were laughing and talking while staring at the target, and they were also competitors, and now the number of people had exceeded 25! The reason was naturally that Magic Yang had another movie released, another hot and popular work, "The Hangover" collected more than 50 million in three days, setting the best opening record for an R-rated comedy; and the Golden Globe Award nominations will be announced next week, and Magic Young's Internet search volume is soaring wildly, and his popularity is also soaring wildly...... Now the news and street photos of the amazing director are worth and are worth a lot of money, websites, newspapers, magazines are very happy to buy them, and he is one of the most popular!

"Little boy, you might as well shoot other directors, Martin Scorsese is good, haha!" The blonde muscular man seemed bored, and laughed and made defiant remarks. Anderson's anger suddenly jumped up, and he rolled up his sleeves and scolded, "Fuck you, man! You want to fight? Do you fucking know who took that set of pictures of Magic Young doing kung fu on the beach?

"Hit him, hit him!" Everyone around them cheered, whistling and waving their fists: "Give him some Christmas presents!" But the two glared at each other a few times, but they didn't really beat each other, and if there was no treasure to grab, no one wanted to cause trouble.

Why don't you take pictures of other directors?Martin Scorsese Anderson sneered, looking down to adjust the camera's lens focus. Although Martin Scorsese is the favorite for Best Director at this year's Golden Globe Awards, who would be interested in an old guy's street photography? Unless the old guy runs naked! Fans want a handsome and tough, kung fu idol director, and an amazing director like never before!

Now Magic Young's street photography is the most valuable among directors, and he is often filmed with that sweet beauty, just like buy one get one free, especially couple photos have always been more popular. Who would be so stupid?!

Anderson was thinking about this, when he suddenly saw a black Hummer H2 slowly driving out, he couldn't help but curse urgently, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie on his waist and informed his partner: "They are out, Young's car, Humvee! Hurry up and follow!" A deep voice came from there: "Roger!"

The paparazzi all took out their walkie-talkies, mobile phones and other communication tools, and a black man in a red vest also hurriedly approached the walkie-talkie: "Hummer, don't let them run!" The blonde muscular man next to him said to the mobile phone: "It's possible for them to go shopping, this is a good opportunity! Shopping photos are very expensive now!" A thin young man of Hispanic descent said: "Hummer H2, it looks like I'm going to buy a Christmas tree, don't lose it!" ...... The mall is full of Christmas decorations, green Christmas trees full of lights, Santa Claus and deer in red clothes and white beards, as well as ribbon rings, bells and other things. Customers strolled around with happy faces, carrying bags or two of their purchases.

Slowly rolling escalators on the up and down, on the side of the falling. Jessica, who was wearing a light blue denim suit, patted Wang Yang next to her and said with a smile: "Yang, look at me." She crossed her fingers between her chest and abdomen, tilted her head slightly, her face demented, and her eyes were motionless. Wang Yang suddenly laughed out loud: "Wow, I should let you play Allen!" He also pretended to hold his arms seriously, and in the light sound of shopping mall music, the elevator fell to the ground on the first floor. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then walked to a store that sold Christmas decorations, clothes, etc., and had just visited several stores without buying anything.

"This is a good one! new this year. In the bright clothing area of the store, Jessica held a red and white-edged Christmas dress in front of her, blinked her left eye, and asked with a smile: "Is it good-looking?" Wang Yang, who was carrying two bags of things, nodded and smiled: "The most beautiful Santa Claus in history." ”

At this time, the surprise sound of "Oh, Amazing Jan! Jessica!" suddenly sounded next to him, and I saw a young white couple walking over, and the situation that occurs almost every time I go shopping has happened again, and the combination of Asian and Latino people who are not wearing sunglasses, and the popularity is at its peak, so it is naturally easy to recognize. The two smiled and said hello to the fans, "Hey".

The dark blonde girl with long hair had joy written on her face, looking at Wang Yang, she seemed to remember something, and laughed: "We watched "The Hangover" two days ago, it was great! We almost died of laughter!" The brown-haired and high-nosed boy also stretched out his fist like a triumphant and said with a smile: "It's so cool! Amazing Yang, will you make a sequel?" Wang Yang replied with a smile while putting the Christmas costume into the bag: "Thank you." "The Hangover" will make a sequel, but it won't be me. ”

"Oh, that's a pity!" the white couple was a little disappointed.

Jessica continued to pick up her clothes, smiled in a good mood and said, "He will definitely make other movies! The young couple suddenly laughed, and the girl looked at Wang Yang with a smile on his face, and asked curiously: "Is "mit-21-team" funny? ”

…… In the parking lot outside the mall, Wang Yang pushed a shopping cart full of items in his left hand and a Christmas tree in his right hand, and Jessica was full of bags in both hands, and the two walked towards the Hummer with a smile. Suddenly, their eyes felt the flashing of flashlights, accompanied by the sound of clicks, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see at least a dozen paparazzi with telephoto cameras.

Jessica's face instantly had a touch of annoyance, her eyes widened slightly, her hands made the bag crackle, and she said in a suppressed voice: "I really want to beat them all up, a few hands and feet, and let them all lie on the ground and roll." She ho ha a few times, as if imagining the picture, and read in a broken Chinese: "Menghu crawls hard, stands on the ground and is full of the sky, elbows and thunder, and rushes to the sky...... Lean against the mountain!"

"Relax, relax! I don't want to visit you in prison. Wang Yang retracted his gaze and said as he walked: "And you don't have a mountain to rely on, if you want to practice this, you must at least knock off a layer of bark from our sycamore tree." Jessica ignored his words, and she continued to look at the paparazzi intently, and whispered, "Open the ......door!"

Wang Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes, since this girl learned kung fu, she has become even more belligerent than him!

Hey, he touched her with the Christmas tree, and said solemnly: "Have you fought enough! You are not allowed to fight casually as a teacher!" Jessica frowned unhappily and muttered: "I learned kung fu but can't fight, what do you learn to do?" Wang Yang was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "I also asked your master this question, and he said, 'You think you want the answer yourself!' I don't know, I've thought about this question for a long time, you should first strengthen your body and protect yourself." ”

"Hmm. Jessica pursed her lips slightly and nodded, Wang Yang persuaded: "Jesse, we are all used to it anyway, let's just face the fans now, and these street photos are also shown to them in the end." He let go of the cart with his left hand, held it up to the paparazzi, and shouted with a smile, "Hey, guys!

Unexpectedly, he shouted like this, but he got angry, and more than a dozen paparazzi came up one after another. They kept pressing the camera and greeted each other with a smile: "Hi, Yang, Jessica!" Jessica looked at Wang Yang with both eyes and gave him a complaining look of "Look at you!"; Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and said to the paparazzi seriously: "Guys, I have a good memory, who doesn't want to be separated by a bunch of bodyguards in the future, just be conscious." ”

"Of course, of course!" the paparazzi all pulled away a little bit of amusement, and a chubby white man asked, "Young, Young!" The Hangover is selling big every day, beating Wayne Wong, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel McAdams, are you happy?"

Wang Yang walked silently, ignoring the question.

And the Hummer was not far ahead, and the paparazzi hurriedly asked: "Why did you use two movies to destroy your sunny image this year?", "Now that everyone is praising your cameo acting skills, will you direct and act yourself in the future?, such as kung fu movies?", "Have you done those things with Tom Welling in the ending credits of "The Hangover"?", "Jessica, aren't you angry?"

The two looked at each other with a smile, still not answering the questions.

As he spoke, he had already come to the side of the Humvee, Wang Yang put the Christmas tree in the cargo box at the back of the car, and then carried the things on the shopping cart, and heard a paparazzi reporter ask: "The Golden Globe Awards are about to be announced, what are your expectations?" He replied: "You ask what you expect, the answer is definitely to be nominated, of course I am happy to have a nomination." ”

…… As the 60th Golden Globe Awards announced the list of nominees gradually approached, the first week of the Christmas schedule from December 13 to 19 officially came to an end. This week's North American box office totaled $202 million, and at the top of the list was the weekend champion R-rated comedy "The Hangover", which swept away another 29.36 million in the remaining four days, and 2,875 theaters collected a total of $85.0916 million in the first week!

In second place is "The Lord of the Rings 2: Two Towers", which premiered on the 18th, and this fan-laden fantasy masterpiece collected 40.03 million box office in 3,622 theaters in two days, but "The Hangover" has no threatening opponents in the fight for the comedy market cake.

This week, the third place "Manhattan Cinderella" only had 15.89 million box office, the fourth place "Star Trek: Nemesis" received 14.32 million, and "Transform into a Spice Girl" ranked fifth with 12.16 million box office...... The other two comedies, "Drum Hotline" and "Boss Pull Over 2", only had 9.52 million and 3.26 million respectively.

The figure of 85.09 million has set a new record for the highest box office in the first week of the opening of an R-rated comedy, and its reputation among the audience is unmatched, and the audience liking rate of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes is the champion of this week's new film ranking.

Yahoo's weekly box office review list commented: "Just as "Youth Musical" started a comprehensive revival of song and dance films, "Juno" created a not-so-pleasant pregnancy craze and TV series to follow the trend, and "The Hangover" created a new situation of R-rated comedy! Now the studios have re-seen the amazing charm of this theme outside the campus, and I believe that in the future, more and more excellent R-rated comedies will appear." And now there is only one way ahead of "The Hangover", and that is to become the highest-grossing R-rated comedy movie in history!"

The whole of Flame Films is cheering and celebrating, ready to have a merry Christmas, and the other studios can only sigh again with envy or jealousy, why don't they have a magic young? The cost of "The Hangover" is only 25 million!

According to the professional predictions of Flame and various companies, although movies such as "Lord of the Rings 2" and "Personal Lover" will be officially released next week, one of the characteristics of blockbuster comedies is that the decline percentage is very slow, and considering that the comedy market this Christmas has been completely lost in the hands of "The Hangover", as long as the decline rate does not exceed 30% next week, then North America is very likely to receive 250-300 million box office in the end, or even more!

"The Hangover", which has been released in the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany and other box office hubs, received 62.15 million in the first week, which is also a box office bomb that does not show weakness. In the appraiser's prediction, it will also be able to collect more than 200 million overseas box office. Critics who were once not optimistic about its box office performance are now afraid to mention this matter.

There is a list called "Director's North American Box Office", and after adding this 85 million, Wang Yang's ranking surpassed James Cameron at 1.1300 billion and reached sixth place with 1.1914 billion US dollars, with an average of 198.5 million for 6 movies.

At the top of the list is Stephen Spielberg with 2.9238 billion, with an average of 146.1 million for 20 films, and in second place is Robert Zemeckis, with an average of 128.4 million for 12 movies, for a total of 1.5418 billion box office.

If The Hangover's final North American box office is as predicted, Wang Yang's ranking is expected to rise to fourth place, surpassing Ron Howard ("Christmas Weirdo", "A Beautiful Mind") with 1.3001 billion, George Lucas with 1.3203 billion, and behind Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) at 3.5388 billion ("Home Alone", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone") at 1.5388 billion.

But Spielberg is 56, Zemeckis is 50, Chris Columbus is 44, Ron Howard is 48, George Lucas is 58, and Cameron is 48...... Wonder Jan is 22 years old.

The score of "The Hangover" on the main page on IMDB is temporarily stopped at 8.4, and the score of the TOP250 is 8.3. Critics still have a love-hate relationship with it, with 68% of Rotten Tomatoes' 205 reviews and 75% well-known, with the number of people who say "The Hangover" is boring or worried that Magic Young will become a lost youth who will never return.

"This movie is so handsome! I decided that when I was old enough to drink, I would go and get myself drunk. Anne Hathaway's blog reads, and Natalie Portman's blog laughs, "Will I tell you I watched The Hangover from start to finish? Yes, I will." But card counting really looks like that...... What?" Rachel McAdams wrote without hesitation: "Tell everyone a hilarious joke, "The Hangover." Wang Yang, I'm smart enough, right?"

Superman Tom Welling also updated his blog: "It's crazy in the movies! I know a little bit of a fun secret, but I can't say ......" Scarlett Johansson's blog is very bold to write; "I've always wished I could be in a comedy like this, Fantastic Young, remember to find me next time!" Michael Pitt: "Young, what do you want to do? You made me realize that I used to love this." Will Smith's blog recorded: "Jaden has been talking about watching Young's new movie these days, wait until you grow up a little more!...... However, the Hollywood stars who praised "The Hangover" on blogs and media interviews are not only Wang Yang's friends in the circle, Tom Cruise, who was invited to open a blog very early, also wrote a short viewing log: "I took a break today and went to the cinema to watch "The Hangover", I haven't laughed like this for a long time! But I'm a little embarrassed, am I really that stupid in "Rain Man"?"

"Amazing Jan, why do you hate me? I love you and your movies so much!" - Angelina Jolie; - Kirsten Dunst...... Halle Berry, Jim Carrey, Drew Barrymore, Naomi Watts...... As if overnight, Wang Yang became the most popular person on the planet. Of course, this has been accumulating little by little for a long time, but after the two completely different acclaimed films "District 9" and "The Hangover", this accumulation finally showed a blowout.

"If you first met Marvelous Young from The Hangover, you'd think he's a-filled, vulgar guy, but the truth is, he's the youngest Golden Globe nominee for Best Director in a Drama. -- "Who's the Magic Jan?" in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine.

Yes, but at the same time, he is also a person who can make a good biographical film, so that Will Smith can successfully turn over as an Oscar-winning actor, he can make a good sci-fi production, and he can pay equal attention to profundity and commerciality, and he can also make a small style literary film like "Juno", all three of which can be related to the Oscars!

It is impossible to ignore the "Ghost Shadow Record" and "Youth Singing and Dancing", which caused a social sensation...... The most terrifying thing is that he is only 22 years old, who knows what kind of fame this amazing director will make in the future? He is also the chairman of Flame Films, a rising star in the IT industry, and completely self-sufficient. So whether it is a big-name superstar, a youth idol or a little-known little actor, they are all very warm and polite, or sincerely or funnely praise "The Hangover" and Amazing Young, who would want to offend a monster destined for a promising future?

And the superficial attitude of the film companies is also very polite, and some companies have really noticed something, and the magic Yang eats soft and not hard! If he is not willing to direct, what can he do? If you want to cooperate with him and Flame Films, you should follow the temper of the magical director!

In fact, just one thing is enough to make the actors love Magic Yang very much, and the fruits of success in movies such as "The Hangover" are not only enjoyed by the directors, but also the value of the cast and crew in front of and behind the scenes is rising, especially the leading actors have become popular new stars, and they have been praised by the media and the public, and film appointments have followed.

Michelle Rodriguez suddenly had one more way to play on the screen, and the Los Angeles Times praised her amazing performance in "The Hangover": "I never thought Michelle could be so hilarious." "Entertainment Weekly" commented: "Five-star performance! She can play more than before, but 100% funny." ”

"I said a long time ago, when a director like him invites you to film, what you have to do is not to think about it, but to nod and agree immediately, and then he will arrange everything for you. In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Michelle said. And when the reporter asked her if she would do more comedies in the future, she said: "I don't know, no one has invited me to act for the time being." But to be honest, if it weren't for the set of Magic Young, I don't know if I would have been able to be funny. ”

Charlize Theron, who has not received as much praise as Michelle, also has the praise of "another Charllotze" when she said in People magazine: "After acting in this comedy, I am very interested in many things, including acting, roles...... There is another deep understanding. But the next movie will not be a comedy yet, and I have already confirmed to star in "The Witch", which is an unforgettable story. ”

In addition to the two female leads, "Doug" Matthew Fox has also regained public recognition and skyrocketed in popularity, and the most popular is the best man trio, the media is amazed by their comedic talent, and everyone knows that these three stupid guys are going to become stars.

Ed Helms can play a variety of temperamental and neurotic roles, Zach Galifeanakis, who has become "Hollywood's most comic fat man", is a rare resource for comedy, and Bradley Cooper, who is tall and handsome, has the widest acting path, whether it is romance, comedy, action and other genres, it can be said that the potential is endless.

And when they were interviewed on "Variety", they all laughed happily: "I don't know what movies will be made in the future, but "The Hangover 2" is definitely one of them." Amazing Jan says it's already planned, it's really exciting!"
