The Best Director

Chapter 239 Really Expecting

This morning, the recording of "Qiang Qiang Threesome" was finished. If Han Sanping had not agreed to attend the charity dinner organized by him in the evening, Wang Yang immediately went to the airport and returned to Los Angeles, no one would doubt it. He had nothing to do in the afternoon, and he didn't want to accept anyone or someone's request to meet him. Since he couldn't meet him, he decided to simply disappear. Anyway, he had nothing to talk about, so he would look for him when he wanted to talk.

But Wang Yang didn’t sleep late in the hotel. Knowing that Natalie and Rachel were going to visit the nearby Palace Museum, he decided to go too. He was leaving tomorrow. He came to Beijing twice but never visited the Palace Museum. For the first time, take the opportunity to watch cultural relics and antiques, and see the magnificent palace complex. Of course, the three of them are not the only ones in the group, there are bodyguard assistants following them, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

"China's beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter coat m is unique and spectacular, I was scared by the Great Wall yesterday, and now these buildings are so great..."

Under the blue sky, the afternoon sun shines on the glazed tiles of the cornices of this classical building, setting it resplendent with gold and jade, the solemn vermilion gate, the majestic stone lions, the willows swaying in the wind...

A group of people walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Rachel and Natalie, who were dressed casually, walked in the front. These two people sometimes went to many tourist attractions together and sometimes alone, and bought some special Things. But Rachel felt that it was not enjoyable enough, and planned to play for a few more days before leaving by herself; Natalie was going to fly to Guilin, where the film crew of "Star Wars Episode 3" was filming.

Hearing Rachel admire the surrounding scenery with emotion, Wang Yang, who was behind, looked at the palace with red pillars and yellow tiles, and said, "Yes, it is very grand, but compared to these; I prefer those natural mountains and rivers, really. unique."

"I saw it soon. I heard that there is a saying...'Guilin's landscape is the most beautiful in the world'." Natalie's smile was a little suspicious, she looked back at Wang Yang, As he walked, he asked, "Man, how do you say that?"

If he hadn't looked up the information and pictures for "Firefly", Wang Yang would not be able to say it all at once. At this moment, he thought of those beautiful mountains and rocks and the clear Lijiang River. He laughed in Chinese and said: "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world." Said: "The karst landform of Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall is very beautiful."

When it came to the topic of Guilin, Natalie seemed to think of something: "Do you know that Mr. Lucas also loves Chinese landscape paintings?" Wang Yang shook his head and said, "I have no contact with Mr. Lucas." In terms of work and activities and ceremonies, Robert Zemeckis is in contact from time to time. After all, everyone is very busy, with different ages and environments, and personal relationships are natural.

"He just talked about the exterior scenes on the set. The planet Kashiko is a mysterious place, and there must be that 'primitive' feeling.

"Natalie slowed down and walked with Wang Yang, slapped her hands together, and described: "There are many mountains surrounded by fog. I understand what he means, which is the artistic conception of the poem you mentioned, which is very aura. Mr. Lucas wanted to incorporate Chinese landscape painting into it. "

Wang Yang nodded and smiled. There are not a few sci-fi filmmakers who have this kind of thinking. The Chinese landscape style is very charming. It is born with a mysterious and ethereal temperament, which is very suitable for the appearance of an alien planet, so there is "Star Wars Episode 3" The Kashiko planet in "Avatar" and Pandora in "Avatar".

In terms of the lens style alone, all the scenes of "Avatar" are in Pandora. The ground is a dense virgin forest, and when flying, it is a sea of ​​fog and mountains. The "primitive" style is unified; while the situation faced by "Firefly" is quite different. , similar to "Star Wars" in that the scenes will have different planets. The difference is that "Star Wars" is a medieval court style, and "Firefly" wants to completely integrate the western cowboy with the oriental artistic conception.

"I'm also doing this, 100%! I want to bring Chinese landscape painting into the world of science fiction! Wish me good luck!" Wang Yang clenched his right fist and raised it, smiling to encourage himself: "fu1 ——!”

Natalie and Rachel looked suspicious at once, because the "Firefly" project had not been exposed yet, and Wang Yang didn't mention it, neither of them knew what he was talking about, Natalie asked curiously: "What do you mean? Are you going to make a sci-fi film? Also have Chinese locations?"

"Yes, there should be a lot." Wang Yang looked at the assistant bodyguards such as Susan McCarthy behind him, as well as groups of tourists in the distance, quickened his pace, and whispered to them pretending to be mysterious: "Interstellar Science fiction, spaceships, crews, planets, fights... as long as you know it, keep it secret! It will take a long time, I expect it will take 5 years at the earliest."

"You mean the release?" Natalie suddenly laughed, her face was full of interest, and her voice was excited: "Summer vacation? Oh man, isn't that the same as "Star Wars Episode 3"? It won't be at the same time Is it going to be released?" Wang Yang shrugged, why bother? He smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid. Even if we really met in the summer vacation of 2005, the time difference would be more than a month."

"I know that when the time comes, the media will definitely not let go of the topic of those duels. Jan, did you do it on purpose?" Rachel smiled pleasantly, looked at Natalie, and said with a smile: "Didn't he have a foreigner?" The so-called "USC Avengers" just like to fight against Mr. George Lucas, Mr. Steven Spielberg, and Mr. Robert Zemeckis, and I suspect he did it on purpose."

Wang Yang rolled his eyes noncommittally. Natalie frowned and looked at him. She will not forget "Star Wars Episode 1" in 1999. The two-day show week was defeated by "Music and Dance Net", which was officially released on a large scale. It seemed that everyone was singing again. She danced again, and then she went to the theater to watch a show, and then rumors spread out of nowhere...

Last year's "Star Wars Episode 2" still collided head-on in the Ninth District, but "The Ninth District" has earned the title of "the best science fiction film of that summer" due to the reputation of film critics and the awards. If "Star Wars Episode 3" met this "USC Avenger" again in 2005, would it still be the same type of interstellar science fiction? ...? ! !

"Amazing Young slashed Star Wars Episode 3", "Amazing Young brought the biggest surprise this summer", "Natalie's performance looked ridiculous"... Natalie shook her mouth net , covered his forehead and said: "I suddenly have a bad feeling. I'm going to die!"

"Oh, then I'm sorry!" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, without any arrogance in his heart. As the last part of the prequel trilogy and the last part of the orthodox series of "Star Wars", "Star Wars Episode 3" has unparalleled appeal and influence, and it is also a very good masterpiece. It is like a tall building A very high, difficult mountain to climb.

The relationship between the two in theaters, "Firefly" is a challenger; and for him, this movie is this movie, what he wants to say, what he wants, what he wants to try... But there is no doubt that this is an unprecedented great challenge.

While talking, everyone had already walked up the white steps with white railings on both sides. Natalie stepped up the steps and said, "Facing you, a magical, magical, magical... monster, I Impossible not to worry!" Wang Yang sighed and laughed: "It seems that you really hope that someone smashes my tomato." Natalie said in Chinese casually: "Why not?"

She laughed and said back to English: "Why not? It's not when I play the heroine of the movie." She looked at the smiling Rachel, and said narrowly: "Then everyone will say that Wang Yang relies on Natalie Terman is amazing! It wouldn't work without her."

"I don't think so." Rachel shook her head with a smile, and said with a smile, "Unless the name is Rachel McAdams." After watching the TV series he supervised and created, he suddenly asked excitedly: "By the way, Yang, "Prison Break" will start airing next month, right? I've been looking forward to it for too long!"

Although the beginning of this series was the sad thing that he was sentenced to prison, but those are all in the past. As a TV series mí, she is really excited. The signboard of "Magic Yang" is so attractive Yes, especially this is the first time he has entered the field of TV dramas, so fans of these dramas can look forward to it and draw possibilities on that blank paper.

At first I thought he was being angry and Luan said it, but it turned out not to be the case. After two years of long waiting, the broadcast is finally about to start.

Growing up watching Canadian TV series and American TV series, she became addicted to skipping classes, and she studied drama in college. Rachel can be called a "top TV mii", but she has to praise, "Prison Break" is too good Promoted! Like countless episodes of Mí, she couldn't wait to be murdered, almost threatened the guy in front of her with a knife, and quickly released the CD of the first season!

"When the crew was filming, the still photos had to be circulated on the Internet like street shots. But they kept a sense of mystery, which brought curiosity and anticipation." This is one of the marketing methods of "Prison Break" summarized by the media, which has led to her now I just want to know what the oil painting-like tattoo on the male protagonist's body represents, so that it looks a little more vicious? A connection signal with someone in prison? ... She didn't ask, of course she didn't want to get spoilers, otherwise the fun would be greatly reduced.

Rachel didn't know if these publicity strategies were Magic Young's idea, but she felt that when it came to "viral marketing", those unbelievable and spooky ideas, he was absolutely inseparable from it.

For example, like blogs, in addition to the official blog opened by the "Prison Break" crew, there are also viral blogs, which are a mysterious prisoner in the play, a mysterious prison guard, and the prison in the play. Prisoners publish and update prison survival rules and sentence diaries; prison guards also have duty rules and work diaries; prisons have management rules and prison security inspection logs...

This not only makes people understand what the prison is, but what is more interesting is that she thinks this is also the purpose of these viral blogs. In ng's prison, it is "absolutely impossible" to escape, even if you have wings, you can't escape, and now the hero says that I will escape! How to escape?

"Do I remember Monday, September 15th? Two episodes in a row?" Rachel asked excitedly, and when she saw him nodding his head and saying "yes" with a smile, she laughed and said, "1 It's really exciting!" Natalie naturally knew about "Prison Break", and said with a smile: "I'll watch it after the first season is over, I don't like to follow dramas, one episode a week is too slow." Rachel disagreed Said: "Chasing drama is also a kind of fun, and there is life."

"Rachel, you might be disappointed."

"why?"

"Not a féi soap opera."

Several people laughed and said that after walking the steps, they entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, also known as the Hall of Golden Luan, which was originally completed in recent years and is used as a place for holding various ceremonies. After staying in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a while, because the three people wanted to visit different scenic spots next, they separately enjoyed the scenery with the assistant bodyguards.

After playing for an afternoon, Wang Yang returned to the hotel near dusk. After getting dressed, he went to the charity dinner held in the banquet hall of Wangfu Hotel, and then there was no rest for his ears all night. He became the only protagonist of the dinner party, and group after group of people surrounded him with smiling faces: "Mr. Wang, it's great to see you today!", "Director Wang, I like you very much!" movie of."……

Wang Yang was basically not familiar with the people present at this dinner party, except for Han Sanping, Zhang Yimou, Feng Gang, Zhao Wei and a few others. And in the charity auction that night, Wang Yang had nothing he wanted, and he didn't want to randomly choose something donated by anyone, so he just aimed at "Wang Yang's autograph" and shot again and again, willingly donating the whole audience The highest ten thousand dollars.

Perhaps this is the final box office revenue of "The Capture of Las Vegas" in the mainland, but it is very happy to be able to help the recovery of SARS patients, and his charity foundation is also doing these things.

When the night was replaced by day and the sun rose brightly, the time came to August 16th, Saturday, when "The Fall of Las Vegas" was officially released on a large scale in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places. On this day, the long-awaited movie fans flocked into the movie theater, occupying the entire screening hall, to see the demeanor of this movie, which has been praised far beyond all previous American gambling movies and Hong Kong gambling movies.

The entire line of playing cards has captured the attention of the audience in this eastern country, presented by a real Chinese-American card counter story, a Chinese-American director and a Chinese-American male lead.

As early as in the early morning, a plane slowly took off from Beijing International Airport, went straight into the sky, and then roared high to the other side of the earth, the other side of the ocean.
