The Best Director

Chapter 68 Is Miracle Yang Crazy? (Last day to ask for a monthly ticket wow!)

"New member of the Justice League, superhero Fantastic Jan"

That's the headline on the cover of the latest New York Times entertainment section. Mark Slante and the professional team were very efficient. On the day they arrived in New York, they contacted Briana and her daughter. Ms. Carmen, a black mother, did not know the young man who saved her daughter that day It was Wang Yang, she didn't know who Wang Yang was at all, and naturally she didn't know about it either.

But after learning about Wang Yang's current situation, Ms. Carmen was happy to stand up and speak for him. Mark Slant immediately made an appointment with the "New York Times" to conduct a detailed special report on the matter, explaining the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

It turned out that the reason why this young Chinese-American director appeared in the hospital was not to see a doctor, but to save a 7-year-old girl Briana who had an asthma attack. On the way to send her daughter to the hospital that day, Ms. Carmen accidentally hit a car parked on the side of the road because she was in a hurry to drive her daughter to the hospital. A frenzied policeman stopped her, ignoring Briana who needed emergency treatment , To arrest Ms. Carmen and go to the police station. At this critical moment, Wang Yang, who was passing by, stepped forward. He carried the little girl and ran for three streets, sent her to the hospital in time, and saved her life.

"I am very, very grateful to Mr. Wang Yang." When facing the camera, Ms. Carmen was full of sincere gratitude, and she said excitedly: "I can't describe my gratitude to him. At that time, I was so panicked that I couldn't even speak." Having said that, let the police stop me, the young man yelled 'I'll take her to the hospital don't waste any more time' and then he gave me his wallet ID and took Briana away. "

Ms. Carmen's expression was very happy, she drew a cross on her chest, and said: "The doctor said that my daughter would be dead in five minutes. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose Briana, I can't imagine... Thank God, thank the doctor, and Mr. Wang Yang, they let Briana stay with me." Regarding the policeman and Cole Langston, she was extremely angry: "That policeman is A scum, he almost murdered my daughter, I will sue him, I hope he will act like a man, come forward and admit his mistake. Cole Langston? There was indeed a guy with a camera following Mr. Wang that day, He didn't help, I saw him laughing."

The little girl Briana also supported Wang Yang, she said: "I am very grateful to that brother, he is a good person. My mother said that if there is no brother to save me, I will go to a far, far away place. But I don't want to leave my parents."

Regarding this incident, the Palek Private Hospital confirmed that they did rescue Briana that day. Bobby Vejos, the chief doctor in the emergency room who was in charge of rescuing her, was very surprised. He said: "So that young man is Miracle Yang? Oh, I just know now. He was sweating profusely, and he seemed to be fished out of the water." Come on, I didn't recognize it. He ran in with Briana in his arms, shouting 'help, help', he was so nervous, I wouldn't have thought they were brother and sister,

To be honest, I was very puzzled at the time, but now that I know the truth, it is very touching. "

So why did Wang Yang beat Cole Langston? Bedis-Bill, Wang's official press spokesman, told The New York Times: "As Mr. Wang carried Briana to the hospital, Cole Langston kept blocking him. , moving hands and feet, delaying the time to save people. When Mr. Wang heard the doctor say 'the patient's heartbeat has stopped', and the mockery of Cole Langston who was following him, he couldn't control his anger, He hit people with his hands."

Speaking of this, Bedis-Bill said seriously and angrily: "Everyone knows that for a patient who needs cardiopulmonary resuscitation, every second counts, and even a minute means life or death. But I want to remind everyone Yes, Cole Langston has been aggressive with Mr. Wang along the way, and he was delayed by at least 5 minutes, which is also the reason why a 19-year-old young man lost control and beat someone."

A nurse at the Palek Private Hospital, she recalled the situation that day: "The reporter kept taking pictures around Miracle Yang. They said a few words, I couldn't hear clearly, but the reporter had a provocative smile on his face, It was like, 'Come on, hit me,' and then Fantastic Young smashed his camera and hit it off."

The editor of the "New York Times" finally commented: "When everyone thought this young director was a violent maniac and a villain, it turned out that he was not at all. He was a new superhero. In the world of comics and movies, superheroes Beating bad guys is a matter of course, and they can ignore the existence of the law; but in the real world, the law is the highest and most sacred. So, what do you think of Fantastic Young?"

As soon as this report came out, it can be said that the truth came to light. As it spread rapidly, Wang Yang's fans were immediately relieved, and then burst into mad enthusiasm. Support Wang Yang in the forum; they kept swearing at Cole, and sure enough, the paparazzi didn’t have a good guy, “Cole Langston is a scumbag, I support Magic Yang in beating him up, he not only has no professional ethics, but also has no humanity , he should be sent to the electric chair", "I feel disgusted when I see him pretending to be pitiful, he is a shameless bastard"

Some netizens also said, "I suddenly remembered the reason why USC fired Yang Yang, racial discrimination? Come on, guys can prove it even more now, how absurd that is." His remarks were supported by many people, especially for Wang Yang. Regarding the expulsion incident, many black movie fans who had always had a little distrust and suspicion changed their attitudes and began to support Wang Yang again.

A girl named "Kayla" claimed that one of the police officers who took Wang Yang away that day was her father. She showed Wang Yang's signature to her on Wang Yang's largest unofficial fan forum "rever-ung". , her text is full of joy and happiness: "I have already taught my dad a lesson but I have to say, this is great, I got a unique signature" After expressing her excitement, she wrote Said: "Young taught me a lot, his deeds in "Ghost Story" have always encouraged me; in "High School Musical" he told me that I should pursue myself; and now he saved a little girl, which makes me like it even more He Liaoyang is my idol forever"

Of course, there are also many people who insist that beating is wrong, especially Jessica's fans, who continue to encourage her to dump Wang Yang: "I still think Jessica should break up with him. This incident at least shows that he is violent." Tendency, Jessica is in danger at any time", "Jessica, come back single"

But generally speaking, not only did Wang Yang's popularity not decline, but it rose a lot with the increase in attention. Before, he was a sunny and positive, good-natured high-quality idol, but now he has an extra "heroic color". In the words of female fans, it is "more manly"

This result also made Mark Slanter relieved, and finally completed his duties. In the handling of this matter, Mark Slanter was doing the whole process, and Wang Yang did not expend any effort, and he was very satisfied with it. But Mark Slanter complained again and again. His main job is Flame Films, so he naturally has a lot of work affairs; now there is an additional deputy of "Wang Yang's agent". Lack of skills will also affect the company's operations.

Wang Yang also understood this, so he planned to hire a professional agent to take over the chores from Mark Slanter.

Although the truth of this matter has come to light, it does not mean that it is over like this, nor does it mean that Wang Yang will be fine, because Cole did not withdraw the prosecution. Speech is speech, and the law is the law. The New York police transferred the case of intentional injury to the court, and the case will be heard in the first court session this year. Vincent Grant told Wang Yang that he needs to be mentally prepared. This kind of case is not unusual for a year or two, especially now that the substantial evidence is against him. To convince the judge and jury, it is not a matter of once or twice. can do it.

Therefore, the result of this case may only come out after a long time.

Fortunately, this does not hinder Wang Yang's personal freedom, and the nature of the case is not that serious, as long as he attends the court on time.

The time soon came to September. During this week, Wang Yang and Jessica enjoyed a short vacation. They traveled all over the famous places in New York and spent every day in happiness and sweetness. The value of Ethan Leichter, who earns a daily salary of 10,000 US dollars, has also been shown. His driving skills can always shake off the paparazzi, and he can also vigilantly spot suspicious elements, so that the date of the two will not be disturbed.

Reluctantly, Jessica boarded the plane to Salt Lake City to report to the crew of "High School Musical 2"; Natalie, who will play Juno, also flew to Boston to start her college career. She would call Wang Yang every other day and ask some outlandish questions. Juno was allergic to dog saliva, but what did she really think about dogs? What does Juno think about vegans?

Wang Yang answered her every question very seriously, but he didn't think about some aspects at all, and he simply let Natalie set those aspects himself. However, he felt more and more that the decision to postpone the filming of "Juno" was correct. Looking at Natalie's level of authenticity, it is hard to imagine that she will not be able to play Juno well in June next year. That Juno may not be Ellen Page-style. Yes, but Natalie will also create a one-of-a-kind Juno.

During this short vacation, Wang Yang accepted an exclusive interview with Time Magazine and took several pictures in the studio. One of them, wearing a black suit and smiling, became the latest issue of Time Magazine. Cover: "The Next 'King of the World'." The entire interview discusses Wang Yang's success, his mentality in the face of success, as well as his views on the future of films and the film industry.

"The threshold of future movies will be higher and higher on the one hand, and lower and lower on the other hand." Wang Yang answered Dennis Waller's question in this way. He explained: "It is getting lower and lower because a film Home DV players can make movies, plus a home machine editing, everyone can make "Ghost Story", and they will all be directors; increase, the production cost of commercial blockbusters will inevitably become more expensive.”

In this interview, there are also some questions about his personal life, and he also exposed some little-known things for the first time, such as that he and Jessica were classmates in elementary school.

This comes from a question from Dennis Waller: "You and Jessica are one of the most talked about couples right now, but everyone says you are going to break up soon. How do you feel about this relationship?"

"Haha, our relationship is very good. I once said that I will not answer such questions again, but I will say a few more words here." Wang Yang felt very interesting and said with a smile: "I have known her for ten years. Yes, we used to be classmates in elementary school for a short time, very good friends. Then she moved to Los Angeles, and we lost contact until the day I was just expelled from USC. We reunited miraculously, and she Always encouraged me, supported me, and then we fell in love. It's amazing, we cherish it too, rest assured, our relationship is unbreakable"

This self-exposure also made fans of Wang Yang and Jessica exclaim, God, there is such a thing? Immediately, some fans opened Wang Yang's "Oprah Talk Show". Sure enough, he said this at that time, and it was his friend's sentence "Is your dream still there?" that made him make up his mind. Determined to shoot "Ghost Story", it turns out that his friend is Jessica

In other words, they didn't meet and fall in love because of "High School Musical". Maybe as early as ten years ago, they played the game of "boyfriend, girlfriend"; This is very romantic and beautiful, but it also made many fans of Wang Yang and Jessica wailing. It seems that they will not return to being single for a while, and the original one-year period seems to have become two years.

However, there is a more interesting news in the interview. When Dennis Waller asked Wang Yang about the progress and prospects of his next film "Juno", he actually replied: ""Juno" will probably be released next year. I'll see you in the Christmas schedule, but before that, I will release a new movie called "When Happiness Knocks on the Door."

Another new movie? "When Happiness Comes Knocking"? What movie would this be without more information? Just when the fans were all boiling, Flame Movie confirmed this on the official website, "Juno" will postpone the shooting plan due to the issue of the heroine; but Wang Yang will shoot a drama biography The inspirational movie, the background of the story is San Francisco in the 1980s, that is, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

"When Magic Yang announced the plan of "Juno", less than two months had passed, he announced another film plan. The frequency and speed were so amazing that one had to doubt his sincerity. Such a high-speed and high-production Will the movie that comes out let him enter the palace of the golden raspberry? I was very optimistic about "Juno", but now I have changed my camp. This superhero looks a little hotheaded."

Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" said that this "die-hard fan" of Wang Yang, the film critic who gave him nicknames such as "Magic Yang" and "Phenomenal Director", has become less optimistic about Wang Yang. Young's two new films next year, he even said sarcastically at the end: "Maybe in two months, this young man will announce a new film project."

Roger Ebert's "betrayal" almost represented the attitude of film critics and the media. First, they questioned Wang Yang's sincerity; Make a biographical movie? Who's biography? Could it be his own? Are you kidding? "Film News" even bluntly said, "Is Miracle Yang crazy?" Only a few media with good public relations of Flame Movie expressed their expectations.

Fans reacted even more strongly. Wang Yang's loyal fans, especially female fans, firmly supported him. They believed that the magical Yang would bring surprises again. Female fan Keira said: "Last year, Yang announced that he would not make horror films. And when there will be a campus musical, I remember everyone said he was crazy, but what is the result now? Whether it is "Juno" or "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", I believe they will be excellent movie of."

Of course, many movie fans agree with Roger Ebert's opinion: "The information revealed by "Juno" is at least a campus drama. The campus is a place Wang Yang is familiar with. It is a romantic love story. The chances of it being a good movie are pretty good; but he’s going to do a biographical movie now, San Francisco in the 80s, come on, when he was a baby, can he do it well? It’s unbelievable.”

But whether they are optimistic or not, this is a kind of concern and expectation.

Wang Yang ignored these voices of doubt. He knew that no matter what, the success of a film does not depend on what people think about it beforehand, but on the actual shooting, editing, and post-production operation. The most important and crucial point is to make a good movie

"Hi, Michael." The wide open-air balcony was filled with pots of flowers and plants. Wang Yang leaned against the railing, smelling the fragrance of flowers around him, looking at the blue sky, feeling very comfortable. He turned around, looked at the big lawn of the hotel below, and smiled at the phone: "You know, right? Well, "Juno" will be filmed in June next year."

Michael Pitt's voice over there was a bit lost, and said: "Jan, to be honest, I can't wait." He laughed softly, and said: "I really want to wake up tomorrow, it will be June 2000."

"Don't worry, prepare for this role well," Wang Yang said earnestly. In order to allow Michael Pitt to concentrate on his acting career and prepare for "Juno" Paulie, he signed a contract with Michael very early, with a salary of 30 Wan, with this money, Michael Pitt doesn't need to work part-time anymore. Wang Yang said in a mysterious tone: "I'm telling you quietly, don't say it, Juno will be played by Natalie Portman."

Michael Pitt let out an "oh", and said without any air, "The one who had an affair with you? Your dream?"

Hearing what he said, Wang Yang almost fell off the railing. Fortunately, he stood firmly on his feet, and the words "Wang Yang fell to his death" did not appear on the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: " Michael, it's a good thing I'm in New York, otherwise I'd beat you all over the place and add another case of intentional wounding, but it just so happens that the two cases go together."

"I won't sue you." Michael Pitt laughed haha, finally there was some sunshine in his voice, and said, "Jan, is Natalie Portman really playing Juno? That girl's acting skills Very strong, I feel a little pressure."

"Very strong, and she is very, very serious this time." Wang Yang said in a drawn-out tone. He couldn't help smiling when he thought about Natalie's weird questions, and said to his phone: "I don't know if she It’s the same with filming, but I can feel her determination, the determination of ‘I am Juno’, you know? She still has to play Juno in daily life, and I’m a little afraid that she’s going crazy.”

Michael Pitt said with a faint smile: "Then I will let myself be Poly in my daily life."

"Well, practice hard, prepare well, don't waste half a year, don't lose to Natalie Portman, I know you can do it." Wang Yang encouraged Michael a few words. Michael's expectation. He took a few breaths of the fragrance of the flowers, then walked back into the room, saying, "Okay, I have to continue working, you know, preparing the script of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"."

"Okay." Michael Pitt responded, and just when Wang Yang was about to press to end the call, Michael suddenly smiled again: "By the way, congratulations on being on the cover of Time Magazine, but Harry said that the photo The filming was terrible, and your hairstyle is also very funny." Wang Yang pretended to be shocked and said, "Harry said that? Oh, it's a good thing I'm in New York for this damn fat man, otherwise he would have lost more than a hundred pounds."

Wang Yang put his phone back into his trouser pocket with a smile, walked into the bedroom of the apartment-style suite, sat down at the desk, and looked at the screen of the laptop. The script of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has been almost finished Eighth, he is full of enthusiasm and sympathy for this story, but he always feels that something is missing. The problem may be due to his overall grasp of the story, or he may not be able to fully feel the sincere feelings between father and son. Move the universe, the holy king, create the holy king, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, the martial arts, move the universe and kill the night The Throne of God Seal Begging the Devil, Ao Shi Ao Shi, Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Younger Da Zhou Royal Clan, God-Creating General, Killing God at Night

After quietly reading the script for a long time, Wang Yang took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. Sandy Pax, the production manager of Flame Films, connected and said, "Sandy, help me contact Chris Gard Na, I hope to have an interview with him." Sandy Pax over there asked suspiciously: "Who is Chris Gardner?" Wang Yang explained: "Didn't you want to know about "When Happiness Comes Knocking"?" Whose biography? It is Chris Gardner. He is a very famous investment expert. I heard an interview with him on KQED when I was still in high school. The movie will be fine."

It's true. At that time, KQED (San Francisco Public Radio) invited Chris Gardner to share his success. Wang Yang listened to that episode. He remembered Chris Gardner's phrase "successful experience , lies in your persistence and hard work.”

Sandy Parks said, "Okay, Chris Gardner, I've got a note, and I'll get in touch right away."
