Chapter 186 Hit the man's heart

"The Ninth District won 5 nominations, and science fiction movies returned to the Golden Globes!" - The Los Angeles Times.

With the announcement of the nomination list for the 60th Golden Globe Awards, the media and the public have begun a new round of heated discussions. If you don’t watch the movie called "The Ninth District", this list is pretty good and is basically in popular predictions. "Chicago", "Everything" and "Pianist" have received corresponding nominations without any suspense. Only Roman Polansky was defeated for the best director.

But there is "The Ninth District" on the list, and there is a cult science fiction movie! A science fiction movie that I haven't seen in 20 years! This also makes it the most special and eye-catching one on the list. There are academic films with various topics every year, solar eclipse twice a year, total solar eclipse once a year, Leo meteor shower once a year, wheat field vicious circles many times a year, Olympics, World Cup once a year, presidential election once a year, Golden Globe and Oscar once a year...

After 20 years, there was another science fiction film. It made the movie fans excited and the media had a topic of increasing sales. "The Ninth District" and Shenqiyang seized many pages and even entertainment headlines for a while. You can not report a certain academic film, "About Schmidt" or "The End of the Little Crazy Flower" in detail, but you can't ignore this "miracle".

"Miracle Yang joins hands with the aliens & drunken men to point at the Golden Ball!" - The New York Times; "The Magic Director returns strongly and is nominated for Best Director of the Golden Ball!" - The San Francisco Chronicle; "Science fiction films usher in light! "The Ninth District" is worthy of the best movie this summer." - The Chicago Sun...

"Mysterious Young completed what he had not completed two years ago." Yahoo Entertainment reported that two years ago, "Juno" was not nominated for Best Screenwriter under the unanimous shouts of the media, and "When Happiness Comes Knocks" also failed to compete for Best Film in the Drama category; but this year, Michelle Young won the praise that he should have received two years ago for two movies standing at the extreme. The article reads: "He has achieved unbelievable achievements."

This is not an exaggeration. Wang Yang, 22 years old and 10 months old, has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director nomination for two consecutive movies, which is more dazzling than the transcripts of many old guys who play literature and business. Moreover, the two films produced and directed this year have been nominated for Best Films in the Drama and Music/Comedy category respectively. He has been playing with the serious and profound human nature issues and vulgar and funny shit and farts.

It will also have a global box office of 750 million, with the highest R-level comedy opening score, and has repeatedly impacted the various records of R-level movies...

Steven Soderbergh was 26 years old and was called the Magic Baby, a genius director, and was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards for the first time with "Sex, Lies and Video Cases". Wang Yang was nominated twice at the age of 22, becoming the first and second youngest nominee in the award. How can this not make people like him and not make fans who like him completely crazy?

In the accompanying voting survey, “Do you support Fantasy Young for the best director nomination?”, 87% of netizens chose to support, 9% let him go away, and 4% I don’t care.

In the report comments, the user Toby Waters's words were very excited: "This guy just makes you unable to pay attention to him, Best Screenwriter, Best Director, Best Film... Fantastic Young continues to be crazy! Take you as your idol!" Marisa F, whose avatar is a girl, wrote excitedly: "Oh my god! He is nominated again? Unbelievably cool! Will he win the award?!"...

Of course, the title and treatment of "Idol Director" is no longer a day or two. Recently, in the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" list held by People magazine at the same time as internal elections and netizens voted, all public figures including movie stars, singers, models, musicians, sports stars, etc. participated in the selection. Wang Yang ranked 26th. This is an even more incredible thing for his candidate identity as "film director".

There is only one film director among the 50 people, among which the performing stars account for 80%, and Natalie Portman ranked 13th. In the "50 Most Handsome Men in the World" ranking of "Premiere" magazine, Wang Yang was ranked 18th. The magazine commented: "He has two charming temperaments of sunny heroism and tough manhood. When he is separated from the immatureness of a boy, he is becoming more and more sexy."

Even according to statistics from the Social Security Bureau in mid-this year, the most popular names for newborn babies in 2001 continued to be Emily and Jacob, and boys Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Christopher, and Matthew (matthewww.piaotian.comg) have increased significantly, reaching the top 500 for the first time in 486th, which is obviously affected by magical Yang.

I don’t know if it was the children born from the pregnancy boom in "Juno". After young returned with "The Ninth District" and "The Hangover" in 2002, the rankings in 2003 will probably rise a lot.

Of course, overseas media have also reported on the announcement of the nominations for the Golden Globes, an entertainment event. Hong Kong's Ming Pao entertainment version reported with big headlines: "Wang Yang entered the competition for the Best Director!" The introduction said: "Zhang Yimou and Heroes have completed the goal of winning the Golden Globes, which is gratifying. The two movies of Fantasy Yang, who have been silent for a year, have won 6 nominations, including the Best Director, which helped science fiction films return to the Golden Globes, making people an unexpected surprise..."

Robert Downey Jr., who was nominated for Best Actor in the Drama category, has once again become the focus. His performance before and after transformation in "The Ninth District" has become the object of praise for many media reports. In the first telephone interview with the Los Angeles Times, Robert Downey Jr. laughed and said: "I'm very happy, really happy! A year or two ago, I didn't expect that I would have this day. Thanks to the director, I thank him privately."

"The judges made the right decision, and now I'm interested in turning on the TV." Roger Albert commented on this year's nomination list. As he had previously predicted, the Golden Globes were reserved for academics, fantasy epics and cult science fiction. Perhaps it was because of the ratings and attention, but why did it be considered this year in 20 years? "The Ninth District" has the qualification to be considered to be sought after.

The last time in 1983, "e.t." finally took away the best film in the plot, but the best director was taken away by Richard Attenborough of "Mahatma Gandhi". So what can "The Ninth District" do in 2003?

Under the siege of several classic art films, no one is optimistic about this bloody special effects movie. "Everything" and "Pianist" are the mainstream favorites; and in the fierce competition for the best director, it can be said that if you can be shortlisted, you already have the ability to win awards. In many cases, if the gap in the sensational effect is not very large, the judges will consider more off-site factors.

The average age of the six directors is 41 years old, the oldest is 60-year-old Martin Scorsese, the youngest is 22-year-old Wang Yang, and the other four are 40 or 41 years old. Age has a great influence, and this thing can also be seen indirectly with qualifications; and he is in the golden period of directors in the rising stage, and he is gradually getting awards in the future, or he is so old that he is about to retire. If he doesn't give him this time, he doesn't know if he will appear again, and then "it's time."

If we come from another perspective, Shenqiyang's age is definitely enough to stand out. It seems reasonable to win an award for filming "The Ninth District" at the age of 22; but is the age of 22 rising or about to retire? What about the age of 60? This is Martin Scorsese's debut work in 1967, and his fifth nomination in 35 years, and all the first four times failed. Although he will not retire at the age of 60, according to tradition and qualifications, the old man is the biggest hit in this year.

The famous bookmaker bet365 has already handed over the Best Director Award. The most favored one is Martin Scorsese of "The New York Gangster", with an odds of 1.53 times; Stephen Deedley of "The Times" ranked second lowest, 2.36 times; Peter Jackson 4 times, Robert Marshall of "Chicago" ranked second, and the odds of "The Magical Happiness 6 times" ranked second, and the first is Alexander Payne of "About Schmidt", with an odds of as high as 10 times.

However, movie fans don’t care about so many. Many hardcores have spontaneously promoted their idols on the Internet. Entertainment websites, forums, blogs and other places have their support, and many articles have emerged. Fan Gary Palent said: “This best director belongs to a science fiction movie!” Jenny Bucas said: “Let a Golden Globe Award freeze history! Fantastic Young is the most promising director since the birth of the movie. If he doesn’t settle for his 22-year-old, God will be angry!”

There are also female fans who are arrogant about "Ten Reasons for Fantastic Young!", and the author Adrina wrote: "First, he is my idol; second, he is handsome; third, he is funny and humorous; fourth, he is young; fifth, he is strong; sixth, he knows kung fu..."

"That's what I think, "Every Moment" and "Pianist" may be worth 90 points, and "Ninth District" 80, but when it comes to contributions to the audience, the awards should be awarded to "Ninth District" and "Mysterious Young", or "The Lord of the Rings 2". "A male author Patrick wrote: "The box office of those literary and artistic movies is not as high as that of "Ninth District". How many viewers have watched it? How many people have been affected? Who can't let the audience finish a profound story in entertainment? Why complain that the audience doesn't understand the movie? I support the award!"

There are even many fans of "Hangover" who are already clamoring to fuck the biggest hit "Chicago" and win the best music comedy film. What? "Hangover" is a bunch of shit, pee, farts and middle fingers, which has no meaning? Many fans don't think so.

"The Hangover is actually a great movie, it's just misread with a smile! The crazy Las Vegas and the warm home form a man, where Stu finds his male, from a hen to a tiger; Doug gets rid of the panic and tension before marriage, and in the end he just wants to go home, how important his wife and home are to men; but Phil is the representative of a long-time married man, always wants to indulge, but he is still a good husband and a good father; Allen is a typical boy, stupid, neurotic, excited, rude, and full of pornography...

Miss Miller symbolizes the troublesome woman that men fear and hate. Violent, powerful, rude, no IQ. Although beautiful and hot, no one wants to f her. The dancer Judy represents the man's fantasy and desire for a romantic encounter. It is hot, gentle, and worships you (think Stu is a doctor), but reality is often cruel. She is a prostitute with children. The bride Tracy represents the perfect woman that everyone wants, hot, beautiful, understands your father-in-law, and gives away a Mercedes-Benz sports car. She takes the initiative to let you hold a bachelor party, and you are willing to forgive you when you are late for the wedding..."

After analyzing all the details of the characters in "Hangover" for a long time and speaking in a precise manner, the author of the review, William Broben, wrote: "How thoroughly the Hangover analyzes men! And Shenyang tells us that men can sometimes be crazy, but after they get crazy, they still have to go home, and that is the best destination. As for Las Vegas, stay in Las Vegas."

This review was immediately popular with many movie fans. Everyone said "Oh" and "Hangover" was stupid and boring? It turned out not! It was just like William said, "It hits a man's heart!", so fuck "Chicago"!

But in the eyes of the media and bookmakers, no matter whether "Hangover" is a great movie or not, it is still unlikely to win the Golden Globes; in bet365's handicap, its odds of winning are 4 times, while "Chicago" is 1.26 times.

All work naturally stopped during the Christmas holiday. In a blink of an eye, Christmas Eve on the 24th came. This year's Christmas dinner, Wang Yang and Jessica cooked together and carefully prepared a table of Chinese and Western food. The two families had a happy Christmas Eve together. Then Christmas came. Last year, the two basketball fans did not watch the NBA Christmas battle. This year, they didn't want to miss it, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings.

The Staples Stadium, full of festive atmosphere, was very lively at this time, and the audience was filled with seats. The audience was laughing and talking with friends, and there were waiters carrying drinks and food walking around the aisle, and children twisted their bodies and danced, waiting for the upcoming ball game.

The seats on the sidelines were full of celebrities. Wang Yang was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, with a well-proportioned and thick body, muscle lines and mature face. While scanning the live TV camera, he did not lose the title of "the 18th most handsome man in the world"; sitting next to him was Jessica with a ponytail. She was wearing a small black leather jacket, a blue plaid shirt and black casual pants, with big silver rings on her ears, and light makeup on her face. Her style was very fresh and charming.

Listening to the stadium's songs, the hot cheerleaders in the venue were dancing in a neat manner. Jessica looked at Wang Yang who was talking to Kirsten Dunst next to her. She couldn't help but think of the Christmas battle two years ago. At that time, Britney and Justin were sitting next to them. The recognized golden boy and jade girl had already announced their breakup in March this year after two years of love.

It is common for couples to break up. Some people try to date and get a break up. They get a break up when they are not suitable for them. They get a break up when they fall in love with each other. They get a break up. The reason why she feels a little emotional and the reason why she feels a little emotional in the United States is that Britney and Justin are childhood sweethearts and first love, and their relationship looks sweet and good, why did they break up suddenly? Why are they so sad when they break up?

There are various reasons for breaking up gossip. She naturally doesn’t know what it is. They probably don’t know about their close friends, let alone ordinary friends?

In any case, in this familiar atmosphere, she just felt it was a pity, and there was a little bit... Jessica suddenly remembered one of the Chinese animal idioms she had learned recently. She didn't know if it was suitable or not, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing her thinking about things in a daze, Wang Yang smiled and patted her hands. Kirsten just said that he liked "Hangover" and the nomination for the Golden Globes. These days, he could always hear these words in his ears. Following her gaze, he looked at the cheerleaders on the field, and he smiled and said, "I want to show off your street dance?"

"No, no interest." Jessica came back to her senses, and she smiled, leaned into his ear and whispered: "I just thought of Britney, Justin."

Wang Yang said with an oh, the reason for their breakup was a mystery. Some said Britney cheated, and some said Justin cheated. Who knows? He nodded, suddenly understood her thoughts and asked, "What? Do you mean us?" Jessica said repeatedly, "No, no, no! I just feel sorry for them." Wang Yang looked into her eyes, and there was some girls' unique meaningless sentimentality. He smiled softly and said seriously: "Everyone's attitude towards life and every relationship are different."

"You know there are both playboys and slutty party girls," he shrugged slightly, Paris Hilton. He smiled, "But there is Tom, who was with Jammy at the age of 19. Isn't he married now, and is he doing well? And Young."

Jessica immediately patted her forehead and smiled. They were always so happy and sweet, there was no unknown problem. That idiom was not suitable, it was not suitable at all!

"Hey brother." Wang Yang frowned again and asked, "Do you want to get rid of me?"

"I want to beat you!" Jessica gently hit his shoulder with her fist. Wang Yang sighed and scratched her head, and said in an injury: "You always want to beat me, but I have beaten so many people for you before." Jessica leaned against him sideways and muttered softly: "That's because you want to fight yourself, do you think I don't know?" Wang Yang looked at her in surprise: "Oh! You made me sad." Jessica smiled and grabbed his hand.

Soon this Christmas game officially began with O'Neal and Chris Webber's jump ball. This year, the Kings of Princeton's system have reached maturity. Under the leadership of Adelman, Webber, Stojakovic, Bibby, Divac and other good players scored the top spot in the Western Conference with smooth passes and cuts. The Lakers, the three-time defending champion with the ok combination, are not easy to bully rookies.

Amid the shouts and applause of the audience, the game was going on fiercely, the scores rose alternately, and the first quarter was 24-24. At this time, it had reached the end of the second quarter, with the scores of 49-48.

"Bobby Jackson held the ball, Kobe was defending him, and the pass was intercepted!" TNT Channel, Kenny Smith, who was in charge of the commentator of the game, shouted, and his partner Charles Barkley said quickly: "This ball is too careless!" On the field on the TV screen, Kobe Bryant's hand suddenly hit the basketball flying in the air, and the ball flew straight to the audience on the sidelines. O'Neal, who happened to be walking next to him, flew to save the ball without hesitation!

"This Kings team is all passing and running, full of energy... Huo! The ball was taken away, O'Neal saved the ball!" CCTV5 channel, Zhang Weiping's tone suddenly increased, and Sun Zhengping was about to say something.

Looking at O'Neal in the field, his huge body of more than 300 pounds, Wang Yang's pores suddenly shrank, and his feet were conditioned and grabbed the ground with reflex. Such a big man hit him, occupying at least three seats! Jessica! In the flash, he pushed away Jessica on the left with one hand, who had no time to react, exerted force between his waist and abdomen, and a muffled sound with a blowing sound, and his right arm rushed forward with force!

With a puffy sound! In the natural reaction, Wang Yang's right arm had already crossed the abdomen of O'Neal, grabbed his waist, and supported his feet to stand up. He pressed his left hand on O'Neal's shoulder, and he stirred his feet and threw it to the right together!

So when watching the Christmas battle, audiences around the world saw this scene. O'Neal flew to the sidelines, and then suddenly stood up from the seat, and threw the huge body that was coming towards him as if he had a hug. Then, O'Neal was lying on the floor.

"Oh--!" A low scream came from the Staples Arena. Nearly 20,000 viewers were looking at this corner. What's going on? Jessica, who was pushed to the side, opened her mouth in surprise. Kirsten Dunst, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and other celebrities beside her, Kobe, Webber, Fisher and other players on the court, Phil Jackson, referee, and cheerleader girl under the basketball rack... were all stunned, only the photographers kept pressing the camera shutter excitedly.

"My God!" The TV broadcast camera was already aimed at the front of the sideline seat. Barkley exclaimed: "Miki Yang brought Shaquille down!" He let out a burst of oh-oh laughed and said: "It's amazing! 300 pounds were knocked down by Miki Yang! Wow-" Kenny Smith laughed: "Charles, I bet if you sit on your butt, Young will definitely not be able to push it away. It's too fat!"

Wang Yang looked at O'Neal on the floor, and he was stunned and asked, "Shaquill, is it okay?" He turned his head and glanced at Jessica again, but fortunately he didn't hit her. Jack Nicholson, who was wearing a black suit and purple shirt and sunglasses, stood up nervously, clapped his hands and said, "Shaquill, aren't injured? What's wrong?" Kirsten Dunster looked at Wang Yang and said, "Kung Fu..."

"Hmm, I'm fine." O'Neal, who was lying on the floor, climbed up with his hands on his back. He danced his hands a few times, and smiled in a muffled voice. He heard Wang Yang say, "Sorry, I was conditioned just now." He laughed, and suddenly walked forward and held Wang Yang's head with both hands, bent down and kissed him on the forehead: "mumu--"

The large TV screens above the stadium were all about Wang Yang being forced to kiss by a shark. The audience around him suddenly had cheers and joyful whistles, and many viewers were applauding with smiles. The camera swept Jessica standing on the sidelines again, and saw her having a funny smile on her face; Kirsten, who was also standing, smiled at her, "He is so strong!" Jessica clapped and said, "Yes."

"Jessica is going to curse!" TNT Channel, Barkley said in a stern voice: "Go away, that's my territory!" Kenny Smith suddenly laughed: "Charlie, Charlie, are you going to make a new bet? How much box office of Fantasy Yang's next movie is, do you kiss my ass?"

Barkley has learned a lesson, how could he agree? And the bettor is incredible Shenyang? Everyone says he can't do it, but he is the kind of guy who can do it? He chuckled and said, "This is not basketball, we are talking about basketball! If Shenyang can pick up more than 20 points in the NBA, I'll kiss you!" Kenny Smith laughed and said, "Be careful! He is only 22 years old. If he participates in the draft, the team will fight to see his reaction and physical fitness to knock down Shaquille, as well as his IQ, which is definitely a top PG..."

"Haha, the camera is aimed at the sidelines. O'Neal is kissing the male audience who pushed him down just now." Zhang Weiping didn't know who the black-haired Asian was, and seemed to have some impression, but he couldn't say it. Sun Zhengping naturally couldn't recognize it even more, so he simply kept silent without saying anything. After a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Good ball! O'Neal's framing forcefully with both hands!" Zhang Weiping laughed and said: "It's a bit interesting!"

After this sudden little episode, everyone sat down again to watch the continued game. Wang Yang gently stroked his right little arm. After all, O'Neal was 300 pounds tonnage, and it hurt a little. He looked at Jessica next to him and whispered: "Look, I'm fighting for you again." Jessica reached out to help him caress him, and smiled gently: "Thank you, my Knight." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled in Chinese: "It's a hero." Jessica nodded and said: "Big shrimp."

In more than five minutes before the end of the game, the Kings widened the gap to 13 points. Although the Lakers scored 5 points in a row to catch up to 89-92, as Bibby intercepted the ball and counterattacked, as Fisher and O'Neal missed three consecutive shots, Weber's jump shot completely destroyed the Lakers' counterattack. In the end, the Kings won away 105-99, fulfilling Weber's promise to say "to send trouble to the Lakers on Christmas" before the game.

Another day after Christmas, the calendar turned to the 27th, and the screening week from December 21 to 26th also ended. In the second week of this Christmas period, the total box office in North America reached 320 million. The top spot in this week was "The Lord of the Rings 2", which earned 111 million yuan in 3,622 theaters, winning the championship with an absolute advantage; the newly released "The Personal Lover" received 17.52 million yuan in 2,755 theaters, becoming another victim of comedy.

"Hangover", which "hits men's hearts", received 61.24 million yuan in 2,935 theaters, a box office change of 28% compared to last week. However, in line with the company's expectations, the total box office of the screening reached 146 million yuan in two weeks. It is almost certain that it will replace "Beverly Hills Police Detective" and become the most popular R-level comedy in history.
Chapter completed!
