"Are you crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A scream pierced the silent night sky, and Danny, who was lying asleep on the lawn of the garden, raised his head and glanced at the brightly lit room on the second floor of the house, and let out a long breath from his nose.

"Don't even think about it!! Jessica in the dressing mirror was shocked and turned into a terrorist? What a shame is he for coming out of this crazy idea! Wang Yang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, also spread his hands wide-eyed: "I'm just telling you if there is any way to block Times Square...... Jessica angrily picked up a comb and smashed it over, shouting: "Don't even say it!!" She didn't dare to show the slightest support or interest, otherwise if he really did that, it would be unimaginable!

"Ka Ka Hahaha......" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing a few times, picked up the comb and combed his hair, and smiled lightly: "I'm just roaming in my brain, don't be nervous, you know I'm not going to be so crazy, how stupid do I have to be to do this?" ”

Jessica didn't laugh or speak, she stood up with a cold face, picked up the baby monitor on the bedside table and smashed it at him, Wang Yang smiled and raised his hand in surrender: "I was wrong, I left a scar on your heart, sweetheart, come here, let me comfort it." Jessica rolled her eyes, "I want to hit you." She still sat in his arms, Wang Yang hugged her, touched and comforted her heart, and said with a smile: "Maybe we can get the right to block the filming?" Jessica said expressionlessly: "You'd better think about how to stop time." Wang Yang said softly: "I will, whenever I do this......"

With a sigh, Wang Yang kissed her on the lips, and was about to continue the kiss, but he yawned very happily, and Jessica, who had not yet entered the intoxication, kissed his face, got up and climbed into bed: "Go to sleep." Wang Yang nodded, and the whole person fell back, there is still a lot of work tomorrow.

The sky is getting brighter, the rising sun is high in the blue sky, some disputes are not so easy to resolve, Santa Monica is blown by the sea breeze, and the headquarters of the Flame Film Company is a lively and busy scene.

"No, these characters still can't work, can't they be more cute?"

In the conference room, looking at the character drawings of "Robot Adventures" in his hand, Wang Yang frowned tightly, why did he get uglier and uglier the more he painted? The overall image has not changed, the main problem is that the head and eyes are very ugly, he said: "They are just a little dull, not aura enough, not young enough, Rodney looks at least 30 years old, like an honest man, let him be 18 years old, and be smart! And this girl, her braids and blushes are so stupid, she looks like a nerd, I'm sorry, I mean " Robot Adventures needs a beautiful woman, make them prettier. ”

Producer & Director Chris Wetsch, Producer & Art Director William Joyce, Art Designer Steve Martino, and others were all there, and not everyone was convinced, William Joyce immediately argued: "Young, I really don't think it's that much of a problem, these robots are beautiful, too pretty! They are all the lowest 'scrap metal', how do you make them beautiful? We want to highlight that they are made of ordinary parts." He proudly explains: "Every part of their body has a physical reference, like these hair ......."

"William, no one cares about this!" Wang Yang said to him with a smile, glanced at everyone, and then said seriously: "Everyone knows, maybe it's a bit cruel to say this, but the truth is that when an ordinary audience sits in front of the big screen, or stands in front of the poster wall and looks at a poster, he just wants to watch a movie, he doesn't study how we create, he doesn't care, you know? The audience is really interested in them after the success of the film, if we fail, they are really a pile of scrap metal!" Nobody cares, no one knows. ”

He paused, his voice softened, and he clapped his palms: "So think about how to succeed first, first of all, we all need to have a correct mentality, don't think that we are complete givers." ”

Chris Witch smelled a hint of gunpowder, he knew that Joyce was already full of complaints, and Jan had always been a hardliner, so he immediately reconciled: "Jan, the parts of the robots will enhance the realism with reference to the real thing, we know what you mean, but if they are too pretty, they don't look like low-level robots." ”

"Realism. Each part refers to the real thing, and there is also a promotional use, which makes the audience think, wow, this is so cool! This is amazing!" Wang Yang sighed, and then said seriously: "If they form an ugly robot, who likes it? Yes, the character image should be in line with the background setting, but in fact, it is not so simple, why did Spider-Man become a muscular man? Why did Captain America become a muscular man? Because they are the protagonists, no matter what background they have, In what environment, they are always particularly prominent, so - make Rodney a muscular man!"

He picked up a drawing and shook it, and continued: "This girl, simplicity can be fresh and natural, not deliberately make her old-fashioned and stupid, she is stupid, we will be stupid too, understand? And all these robots, their eyes can be more vivid, we have that kind of technology, please!"

"Okay. Chris Welche nodded in agreement, and Steve Martino didn't say much, but they knew the style needed to be adjusted. Joyce's face became more and more ugly, when he participated in the design of "Toy Story", Wang Yang was a naïve middle school student, and now he teaches him how to draw? He has revised it several times according to his opinion, and this guy is still not satisfied! Joyce didn't want to endure it any longer, and couldn't help but look at Wang Yang with annoyance, and said: "Are they beautiful or not beautiful now, isn't it your own aesthetics?"

"It's not. Wang Yang looked at him without shying away, he was clear about Joyce's mentality, the old guy has always been proud of his "Toy Story" qualifications, and he couldn't seem to remember that he was the first time he was an art director, and he said in a calm voice: "William, I know the audience, I just want to do better." ”

Joyce sneered disdainfully, is this kid hinting at something? The failure of "Buddy"? (In 1997, the family comedy "Buddy" co-produced by Joyce only received a crushing box office of 10.11 million, and the DVD was released 4 years later, with 25%/29%/37% on Rotten Tomatoes) At this time, Waych hurriedly smiled and harmonized: "Everyone just hopes that "Robot Adventure" is better. ”

Since the contradiction was clear, Joyce didn't think about staying any longer, and said loudly: "I won't change it, I really won't change it, we're wasting time!" It's like being played around, he and Martino designed and painted so beautifully, and when they turned their heads, they were called rubbish, three times and twice! And that person is not an artist! His illustrations often appear in "The New Yorker", enter museums, art galleries...... "these!" Joyce pointed to the atlas of characters on the table, and his face was red with excitement: " I dare say these characters are good, they're popular! No matter how much you change them, it's like that. ”

Wang Yang leaned forward to support his chin, looked at the puffing Joyce, and didn't want to speak for a while, this is an irreconcilable contradiction, someone must compromise or quit, this person can't be him, Wang Yang solemnly emphasized again: "The character must be more cute and cool." ”

"I'm quitting!" Joyce solemnly announced the decision as he took off his black-rimmed glasses and stared wide-eyed, having already made up his mind to work with DreamWorks Animation, as well as Disney, Fox, and Warner...... Anyway, I'm fed up with flame movies, Wang Yang is a dictator! He doesn't want to work with a company that promotes the legalization of gay marriage! He put on his glasses again, pushed the conference table and stood up: "Young man, my style can only be like that, I can't meet your nonsense demands! You are so powerful, you can get some beautiful robots and a beautiful movie, I'll wait!"

"William!" Witch got up and shouted, Joyce ignored it, and walked out of the conference room angrily, with a loud "Peng", he slammed the door shut, and the atmosphere at the conference table suddenly seemed to be very awkward, Wang Yang shook his head and smiled: "If he breaks the door, he still has to pay for it." ”

In fact, he has always felt that Joyce's art style is not very good, but since Flame Blue Sky is best to maintain a good relationship with him, because he has a lot of rich story materials under him, of course he most hopes to solve the character problem in a harmonious way, and now it seems that it will not work. Joyce took the initiative to withdraw, but Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, so he could invite a desirable art director to join in and design a cute and cool robot.

Wetch doesn't know what to say, this is the first time that Blue Sky has had such a big creative conflict, as an old friend of Joyce, he really doesn't want to see this situation, and Blue Sky wants to get the animation adaptation rights of "Santa Claus Phone", "Leaf Man", etc., and it suddenly becomes difficult.

"Jan, this doesn't seem to be the right time, but ......" Steve Martino's face suddenly showed embarrassment, he thought that Fantastic Young was not a stingy person, so he said calmly: "I want to concentrate on the work of "Ice Age 4", I am not very suitable for "Robot Adventures". ”

Wang Yang looked at the art design of "IA3" and the co-director of "IA4", and also understood that Martino's design ideas and style did not meet his requirements, and nodded: "OK, we will find someone to take over your position, and you can shoot "IA4" well." He slapped the table suddenly, which really startled Wechy and Martino, and heard him laugh again: "Look ahead, gentlemen! "Robot Adventures" has just begun. ”

"Amazing Young takes a fancy to 'SNL' actor Kristen Wiig, and the two meet to discuss collaboration" – Yahoo Entertainment......; There is always so much news related to Wang Yang, and recently there was an earthquake in Flame & Blue Sky's new film plan "Robot Adventure", because of "irreconcilable differences in creation", William Joyce announced that he would leave the crew and no longer serve as a producer and art director, and it was rumored that Magic Yang deliberately forced him away: "These characters are all rubbish." It is reported that Wang Yang commented on the work of the art team led by Joyce, and he asked Joyce and others to repeatedly revise it for half a year, and never said "not cute enough, not beautiful enough, not cool enough", everyone in the team was satisfied, but he was not satisfied alone.

This should be the news released by Joyce himself, because the "Robot" art team within Blue Sky has no complaints, and the character design is the most important work of the cartoon, and there is nothing surprising in half a year, and sure enough, Joyce accepted an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "He is indeed arrogant and arrogant sometimes, which makes me a little unbearable, my departure is a good thing for both parties, he got the team situation he wants, and I don't have to worry about those robots anymore, I wish them a smooth journey." ”

"People don't see the perfect combination of Wang Yang and William Joyce, even though they are both young people at heart. The "Los Angeles Times" ridiculed that whoever is who is wrong is gossip, and Yang is obsessed with black and naturally has different opinions, believing that Wang Yang did not force anyone away, and he is right; ridiculing Wang Yang as an arrogant control freak, "Robot Adventure" ended up in a mess...... However, it is worth mentioning that there is no source to point out that Wang Yang is the producer, screenwriter or director of "Robot Adventure" or any other crew positions.

In the elegant chairman's office, Wang Yang looked at Keke's photos between work, and the smiling baby was very cute and honest, two months old! ”

"Young. Mark Slunt walked in with a newspaper and handed it to him as he sat down in the chair at his desk: "Joyce is looking for trouble with you. ”

"I know. Wang Yang glanced at it a few times absently, he already knew about it in the morning, Jessica angrily threw fairy tale books such as "Leaf Man" into the utility room, he shrugged his shoulders: "I can't agree with those ugly characters, it's nothing, I don't think I need to pay attention to him, so be it." Mark Slunt was also a little puzzled by his plan and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

First of all, I want to see the characters and scripts that I am satisfied with, and the art team is being reorganized. Wang Yang suddenly laughed, understanding Slent's doubts, he was so lenient, he was already one of the producers of "Robot Adventure", he nodded, and laughed: "Damn! I'll take over the production of this cartoon! Interesting!" It's also convenient that when it comes to the long drawing phase, there isn't much work, and Chris Weich's directing ability is enough to make the film well.

Mark Slimt didn't feel any surprise, in fact, Wang Yang has always served as an executive producer, and now he is just righting the name, with the official addition of Magic Yang, "Robot Adventure" is worth looking forward to.

"Hey, I've been thinking about an even more interesting idea lately, can I make two movies at the same time?"

This time Mark Slunt was surprised: "What?" I saw Wang Yang talk with great interest: "You know that the filming cycle of "I Am Legend" may be very long, not every day can work, not all the working hours in a day can be used, so what should I do idle? If there is a movie that is also filmed in New York, it is also a type of depressed loneliness, then when "I Am Legend" cannot be filmed, I take people who are willing and able to make that movie together, and go to another set to shoot it...... Haha, interesting!"

He excitedly threw a set of swift combinations and said with a smile: "I am still studying whether the time can be arranged, which requires a high degree of coordination and precision arrangement of the team." ”

"Crazy ......" Mark Slunt lifted his shining glasses, and couldn't help but smile with emotion: "You're a genius!" Shooting at the same time? This will naturally lead to more physical and mental exhaustion, and it is easy to mess up at both ends, and if the arrangement is not proper and the execution is not effective, it is likely to prolong the shooting cycle of the two films, resulting in an increase in costs; the advantage is to make full use of the time, not even a minute or a second, so that maybe by the end of the year, another magical movie will be released, he asked: " Any movie ideas?"

"How about Infernal Affairs?" Wang Yang grinned, both stories have depression, loneliness, helplessness, helplessness, hesitation, uneasiness, crisis, pain, struggle, and choice...... There are a lot of the same emotions flowing in it, and it is a perfect match for shooting at the same time, and he is very interested in the story of "Infernal Affairs".

Mark Slunt thought about it for a while, and also felt that it was very suitable, if "Infernal Affairs" was released at the end of the year, he could hit the 06-07 awards season with "Little Sunshine Beauty", the problem is, he reminded: "Do you really want to do this? You're going to be busy." "The Green Hornet," "Iron Man," "I Am Legend," "Robot Adventures," "Infernal Affairs," ...... "I'm not going to sacrifice normal family time, ever." Wang Yang knew this best, he exhaled, reached out and pressed the perpetual motion instrument on the table: "Mark, in fact, the biggest advantage is that this idea makes me feel full of energy! I have found the lost passion." As he let go of his hand, the perpetual motion turned again, and he laughed, "Like this, you either let yourself be energetic, move, move, or be weak and old." ”

As night falls in Los Angeles, it gradually enters the early hours of the morning, and a round bright moon hangs in the sky, and the cool breeze blows the branches and leaves of the plane trees.

"Yang, it's late, don't you sleep yet?" In the corridor outside the study, Jessica knocked on the door and walked in, Wang Yang looked at the script and storyboard script attentively, and typed something into the document in the computer, and replied sluggishly: "Oh, you go to sleep first, I'll be fine right away." Jessica looked at him for a long time before Wang Yang glanced up at her and said, "HEY, Jesse, can you pour me a glass of water?" Jessica frowned and said, "Look at the time." Wang Yang looked at the lower right corner of the computer screen and scratched his hair: "Oh, I really want to turn it back......"

"Woo wow whoa, wow wow wow woo-"

The night in the sky was getting deeper and deeper, the moonlight poured into the baby's room through the window, and Keke on the crib went from crying without tears to crying with tears on her little face, and her two big clear eyes slipped around, but no matter how she cried, the two people did not appear. Downstairs, Danny on the garden lawn walked around uneasily, raising his nose towards the brightly lit room on the second floor, sniffing the familiar scent and whining, wondering what was wrong?

"Hey!" The mournful cry came from the baby monitoring monitor, making the spacious bedroom a gloomy cloud, Jessica sat on the edge of the bed with her hands covered her face, sighing uncomfortably from time to time, Wang Yang walked around, his face was tense, his hands and fists were clenched, and he couldn't bear it anymore!

The two are not crazy, this is from a way of educating the baby, Keke has long known how to recognize people, of course, the closest to his parents, waking up in the middle of the night to feed, she must be hugged by her parents before she is willing to sleep, otherwise she will keep crying; although not much, but sometimes crying suddenly, not to the point of feeding, not to change diapers, not sick...... There is no need for any reason, crying during the day for exercise and crying at night for clinginess.

When these situations occur, everyone ignores her and lets her cry until she doesn't cry, so after two or three times, the boring baby will no longer cry indiscriminately, and his personality will become stronger and more independent.

Wang Yang likes to coax his daughter the most, from the first day of Keke's birth to the second month now, as long as he is by her side, he will run over to sing whenever he cries, watching her sleep sweetly, and now he is crying so much that his heart is broken, but he can only nest in the room and watch!

"I don't care!" Wang Yang suddenly rushed out of the room, Jessica exclaimed, "No! Yang—no!" She got up and pounced, almost falling to the ground, taking advantage of the time difference between his hesitant stagnation, she hugged him from behind: "You can't, we can't! Believe the baby, okay?" Wang Yang turned his head to look at her, almost crazy: "But, my God-" Keke's cry continued: "Woo woo woo-" Wang Yang turned around and shook her, pleading: " Please, maybe she's peeing, diapers aren't working, maybe she's hungry!Maybe there's a mouse ......" Jessica shook her head firmly: "You know no! You know!"

"Are you crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wang Yang roared like thunder, trembling slightly, looking at her expressionless face, and finally couldn't help yelling and scolding: "Oh my God! How can you be so ruthless! What mother, damn it, fuck, what the hell!! FUCK!"

Listening to his scolding, Jessica's eyes were filled with tears almost instantly, she pulled her hair from her ears, turned around and walked to the big bed: "Do you know how uncomfortable I am? Am I not heartbroken? This is for the baby's ......" For you, she sat down on the edge of the bed weakly, he returned to the busy track, and Keke refused to take care of her, if he walked around in the middle of the night every day, and had to work during the day, wouldn't he be tired? But if Keke becomes strong, he doesn't have to get up in the middle of the night in the future, she goes to nurse and change diapers to coax her to sleep, and takes care of her daughter.

"Woo woo woo-" Keke's crying still did not slow down, looking at Jessica's eyes that became red, Wang Yang felt even more messy, what was he crazy about!? He hurriedly walked over: "Sweetheart, I'm sorry, I'm mad, I'm sorry!" Jessica stroked his outstretched hand and showed him a gentle smile: "It's nothing, I know." Wang Yang wiped her tears and begged: "Can you be tolerant for a few more days? She is only two months old, can you wait for three months to practice?" Jessica shook her head: "No." ”

"Ahhh

No matter how crazy he was, Wang Yang still couldn't dilute the flustered, and the unprecedented panic and heartache made him almost suffocate, he suddenly jumped up at the thought of something, glanced at the monitor over there, and muttered blankly: "Oh my God." "This feeling! this feeling! this feeling of powerlessness, this pain, this struggle, this feeling of fear...... He actually felt the emotions of "I Am Legend" and "Infernal Affairs" so deeply in this way!

"What's wrong?" Jessica frowned suspiciously, her pitiful look adding a luster to the oppressive world. Wang Yang sat on the edge of the bed and hugged her, and gasped hard: "I don't know, it's so uncomfortable!" Jessica leaned on his shoulder: "Me too, it's so uncomfortable." The two snuggled up to each other, silently looking at the baby monitor on the bedside table, listening to Keke's mournful cry: "Woo woo woo-" her "babbling" and "oh oh oh" laughter are still in her ears...... The night was silent, and the two could really feel relieved of their children's patience, Keke cried for a long time, and persevered for more than half an hour, before finally she was tired of crying, and she hadn't cried for five minutes!

“…… We did it, and the baby did it. Wang Yang and Jessica looked at each other and smiled, there was no excitement, only an indescribable relief in their hearts, the whole person was relieved, so tired! The two had a celebratory kiss, and were about to say something, when suddenly the monitor came out again: "Woo." ”

"Baby, Daddy is here-" Wang Yang's nerves suddenly tensed, and rushed out frantically, Jessica was stunned, and also rushed out frantically: "Baby, Mommy is here-" She shouted: "Just today, tomorrow must definitely be implemented!!" He responded: "Just today!

When the two of them ran quickly to the door of the baby's room, it was quiet, and they didn't hear the cry, they quietly walked into the room, got closer, looked at the crib, and Keke seemed to have fallen asleep. The two of them stepped back gently, and he leaned into her ear and said almost silently, "Our daughter is stronger than we think." She took his arm, leaned on his shoulder, nodded and whispered, "Yes, she is." ”

"Will she not stick to us?" Jessica suddenly asked again, feeling a little sad in her heart, is it that Keke will not be clingy or coquettish in the future? Wang Yang kissed her hair and smiled, "No...... One day she will, but that's true of all children. Jessica blinked her reddish eyes, yes, all children grow up.

(To be continued)
