The Best Director

"!!,—"

The auditorium of the movie theater was full of sobs, and there were even more out-of-control excited cries. Most of the audience who were not fully seated were looking at the big screen in grief. They saw that James Ten Weiser, who played Jesus, was brutally nailed to the cross by the Romans. , it is showing "The Passion of the Christ". Under the atmosphere of wailing, the scenes of horrific violence became even more sensational. The believers seemed to have witnessed the scene of Jesus being crucified, so they couldn't help crying bitterly: "Lord, please forgive our sins.", "Merciful Lord, Lord ""

In a seat a few rows in the middle of the auditorium, although Jessica was not crying like a rainstorm, her nose was red, and water kept pouring out of her eye sockets, and she murmured tremblingly: "Oh my God, it's terrible, how can I , oh no..." Wang Yang hugged her tightly in his arms, gently wiped her tears with a tissue in his hand, his heart was also painfully blocked, he is not a Christian, but watching such violent scenes and stories , anyone can't stand it.

From the release of the February issue to the new weekend of the April issue, "The Passion of the Christ" has been screened for ten weeks, and has received 365 million box office in North America, surpassing "The Ninth District" to become the latest and best-selling R-rated movie; Including overseas regions in Shanghai, it swept nearly 600 million US dollars at the global box office. For a movie with a production cost of 10,000 yuan, there is no doubt that it is very successful in the commercial field, and this is not counting the expected optimistic post-sales. But it is not so easy to make a movie with Jesus.

It is well known that Jesus was betrayed and betrayed by the Jews and beaten to death by the hands of the God of Dawn, and the Jewish group plays an important role in Hollywood and the business circles of the United States. The conclusions are all: there is no need to push yourself to the forefront in order to make such a small amount of money, and really offend many people, which in turn damages your own interests.

So Mel Gibson, the producer and director of "The Passion of the Christ", sought film companies to do it everywhere, but hit walls everywhere. If you don't admit the money, you really dare not ask for it! Unless you think the company will struggle in the future, you must know that it is not just a commercial business; as far as film production itself is concerned, many legendary and excellent producers, directors, actors, etc. are Jewish, why bother?

In particular, Flame Movie has been dissatisfied with the suspicion of "single food". Sometimes it is necessary to transfer DVD and VHS rights to large companies in exchange for resources. Teenage pregnancy is allowed, abortion is allowed, homosexuality is allowed, and religion is not allowed.

Big companies don’t dare, big independent companies don’t dare.” It’s not easy for Mel Gibson to find Newmarket Company to take over. Like Flame Films, it is also an unlisted privately owned independent film company. Founded by William Tell and Chris Ball in 1994, in recent years, he has invested in the production of "Memento" (later sold to Flame), "Death Illusion" (later sold to Flame), and "The Devil" and other films , and it won 6 opening theaters for "The Passion of the Christ".

As a matter of fact, Flame Films is pursuing the idea of ​​Newmarket, and Wang Yang, Mark Slanter and other high-level executives have discussed the plan to acquire it, not for the sake of getting "Passion of the Christ\

,"It is to add more recent movies to the flame video library. Different from Artisan’s pile of thousands of films whose highest value is “The Adventures of Vegetables”, many of Newmarket’s films are classics, and this year’s Oscar winner is “Whale Rider” , "The Devil Head".

Moreover, Flame Movie, which operates according to the long-tail theory and has received actual banknotes, has always had the stance: no matter classic or tattered, eat as much as you can.

But the problem is that Newmarket is well-run, financially healthy, and has not even gone public to raise funds; The takeover intent appears to be some way off.

Although it has been in theaters for many months, it is the first time for Wang Yang and Jessica to watch "The Passion of the Christ" in the theater, and they consciously avoided it before because they did not want to affect the happy mood of their wedding and honeymoon. The movie has already caused huge social controversy, and one in Wichit, Kansas. A 20-year-old woman died suddenly of a heart attack due to excessive emotion while watching a movie; a 2-year-old priest in Brazil died suddenly of a heart attack;

However, the wave of Jewish protests outside the theater is also raging. Many Jewish organizations protested that the film has "anti-Semitic" content and orientation: "From an emotional point of view, if anyone is on the verge of hating Jews, then this film will push you away." cross the line.

"There were also Jewish demonstrators wearing concentration camp uniforms and gathered in Times Square in New York to protest. An ultra-conservative Israeli politician even pointed out that "Mel Gibson should be tried." "Countless Jewish audiences called "The Passion of the Christ" rubbish.

The huge success of "Juno" after its release a few years ago caused a wave of early pregnancy among young girls, and it was criticized and accused by all parties as "the culprit"; while the resistance to the release of "The Passion of the Christ" and social controversy also foreshadowed "neither high nor low "Low" "Brokeback Mountain" faces treatment.

"Woo...don't!! Ah..." In the dimly lit bedroom, Jessica, who woke up from a nightmare, was covered in cold sweat, her face was dull, and she breathed heavily: "Whoa, whoa..." How could this be so? Had such a dream? Could this be a natural revelation from the Lord to her? After reading "The Passion of Jesus" tonight, I came back, read the "Bible" for a while and made a confession, and then... Why did it appear like this? What does this revelation mean...

Wang Yang was so startled by her that he also woke up from his sleep, blinked his sleepy eyes, and asked, "Sweetheart, what's the matter?" Jessica shook his shoulders nervously, and said, "Honey, I made a very big mistake." Terrible dream, I think this may be a special revelation from the Lord." Hearing her voice so frightened and flustered, Wang Yang suddenly woke up 80% of the time, hugged her and comforted her: "No, don't think so much, it's just a Just a normal nightmare."

"I don't know", Jessica frowned in confusion, she suddenly broke free, turned on the bedside lamp with a bang, picked up a thick "Old Testament" that had not been placed on the cabinet, and Turning to the part of "The Great Prophet", he said in a daze: "Where, where...Look! Here, here, the seventh chapter of "Daniel": In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel made a !a dream "...

"Hey, don't scare yourself!" Wang Yang quickly interrupted her, grabbed the "Bible" and put it back with a snap, knowing that this was probably the residual effect of the dream awakening stage. It was like waking up and feeling The idea in the dream just now was very good, but after a while, I realized that it didn't even make sense. He said seriously: "Your dream is not a natural revelation, you are not Daniel, but Jessica! Even if the Lord reveals to you, it is not about you, but about this country and this world."

"Then is this world going to be destroyed?" Jessica seemed to feel that there was some truth, and asked doubtfully. Seeing her dazed eyes, cute look with one eyebrow raised and one lowered, Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, if you know who the Mayans are, you can ask them The attitude towards the end of the world in 12 years." Jessica was shocked: "What?!" The end of the world in 12 years? what happened! "

"No, it's just a good movie theme. Didn't 1999 say the end of the world? And then 2019 also said the end of the world...Jie Poxiao, God's hand, Daxi, what did you dream about?" Wang Yang became serious and exerted a little force He patted her bitter face. Jessica was fully awake when she was photographed, and recalled: "I don't really remember the specific situation, that is, there was a big flood all over the world, and there was Noah's Ark on the sea, but we were in the sea...we were scattered by the waves, and then I died up.

Jessica slipped into Wang Yang's arms depressed. He frowned and stared at her for a while, and said, "Let me try to analyze why you have this dream? First, let's watch "The Passion of the Christ" tonight." , you think it’s terrible to torture Jesus like this, everyone is guilty; then you read the Bible again, have you read the Revelation part of the New Testament?” Seeing her glance at the bedside table, she nodded, Wang Yang continued: "In the end, you may think of Jack and Rose in "Titanic". We watched it when we reunited, didn't we? So there was this dream. It's a pity that it is not a revelation."

"It seems so." Jessica gradually smiled as she thought about it, and poked her head against his chest: "Oh, this is just an ordinary dream. Pulling her to lie down again, Wang Yang comforted, "Don't think about The Passion of the Christ, those things are history now." Jessica hummed and said softly, "It's really sad." Jan, accompany me to church for mass tomorrow. "Wang Yang agreed: "Of course." Jessica smiled, and said again: "Tell me a story to sleep!" Tell me about the Mayans, the end of the world in 12 years? "Wang Yang laughed and said: "Okay, the Mexicans want the Chinese to talk about the Mayans." "

Jessica interjected: "I remember it should be one of the indigenous tribes. I really don't know. I'm a Yankee who grew up in California, but I have a Texas accent." Looking at her, "I'm very With a playful look, Wang Yang rolled his eyes angrily: "Well, y!"

Outside the United States, Yankees are collectively referred to as Yankees (yankeea), while southerners in the United States are called northerners Yankees, and northerners are called southerners redneck rednecks (ha). Of course, Texas belongs to the southerners; and the folk customs are free and open. of Californians are more often referred to as gay.

In recent years, Hollywood has talked about the "Australian gang", "New Zealand gang" whirlwind, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger, Naomi Watts and others; however, some magazines pointed out that "Southern whirlwind" "Including Renee Zellweger, Steve Martin, Ouquan Wilson, Jennifer Garner and others who were born and raised in Texas. And Jessica, who lived in Mississippi and Texas when she was a child, and knew the southern accent, was not classified as a "Texas gang" because she was born in Pomona, California, and has lived in Los Angeles since she was 9 years old. megLRL (fellow, part of the same gang).

Wang Yang, a third-generation immigrant who was born in San Francisco and grew up steadily, and was admitted to a prestigious California university, is more meek, so Lin Yibin is easier than Wen Ziren to work hard in Hollywood, and he is more praised after success; Wang Yang And smoother than Justin Lin.

"As far as I am concerned, there is a saying that the Mayans and the Chinese have the same origin. Simply put, you also know that the Mayans are an Indian tribe that used to live in Central America and Mexico." Wang Yang said Telling the story, while stroking the child to sleep, Jessica said softly: "Yes, and then?" Looking into her clear eyes, Wang Yang continued to smile and said: "The Mayans have a calendar called the sun. calendar, they divide the year into 18 months, each month... days, and the accuracy of the calendar we use now is very, very close. I forgot the exact number. Interesting thing? This calendar calculates the spring equinox for planting, and the autumn equinox for harvest It actually coincides with the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox of the Chinese lunar calendar." "The April issue marks the beginning of the tenth week of the release of "The Passion of the Christ", and it is also the opening day of large-scale releases of new films such as "Mean Girls", "Heavenly Gift", and "Law of Attraction". ; and in the next week's issue, "Ice Age 2" will "counterattack" the big screens in North America, firing the first shot of flame movies attacking the o4 summer vacation.

Time has entered May, and in a blink of an eye, "Firefly" has been filming for more than a month. In this new week, the crew ushered in the debut of "Blue Gloves" Heath Ledger. His appearance made Robert Downey Jr. Quite speechless, could it be that the talent battle on the set was lost like this! ? Allen-Page, Michael-Pitt couldn't stop praising, and they showed more energy in acting, even if they lost in the end, they would be convinced.

Heath-Ledger's performance was really scary and amazing. As soon as Wang Yang yelled "He was like being shocked by an electric current and he became a completely different person, Blue Gloves. On the surface, it seemed like Ennis He has a taciturn personality, but Blue Gloves, who doesn't talk much, is absolutely confident. His silence is not because he is not good at communication or inferiority; it is because he does not need nonsense to explain, and efficiency is paramount. Confident silence, sometimes fanatical, crazy, and gentle On the other hand, such a contradictory combination was almost perfectly performed by Heath Ledger.

"Thank you.

"Flame movie studio, in the hotel room set is shooting "clearing traces" with blue gloves. He wants to kill all the civilians who have come into contact with Rewa. From the corridor to the room, the film crew has changed several times The set and camera position, at this time Wang Yang, Walley Pfister and others are doing work like monitoring the camera and manipulating the machine as usual. Heath Ledger, who is aiming at several camera lenses, walks step by step towards a frightened Caucasian middle aged man shaking fists and stepping back.

"Run!" The middle-aged man yelled, and several family members behind him fled in panic, including Chloe Moretz, who was wearing a white dress and hugging a large rag doll. The middle-aged man threw himself desperately at the mysterious executioner in a big black trench coat, but Heath-Ledger easily dodged it sideways, his left hand in a blue glove grabbed his shoulder, and his right hand pointed towards his face. Bu Xun punched a few times without using much force, and the man immediately let out a muffled scream: "Ah, ah!!"

Heath-Ledger grabbed him with his left hand and leaned against the vase and table soil behind him, making a "puffy" sound when he hit it. He said vigorously: "Thank you." In the continuous net, his expressions were different throughout the whole killing process, but his expressions were flowing. A satisfied "thank you"...

Like a lunatic but not a lunatic, Wang Yang is very satisfied with Heath-Ledger's many subtle movements and changes in expression, and his facial expressions and body movements will not be separated when performing. This is a whole into the play performance, And these wonderful performances are rich close-up materials, which are also what he needs and asks for.

The fingers of Gang Wang’s murderer’s right hand moved slowly and rhythmically. Under the tracking of the camera, Heath-Ledger suddenly sped up his pace and rushed, grabbing the middle-aged white woman who fled to the bedroom in the corridor and punched her quickly. : "Thank you." Then stood at the door of the bedroom, solemnly saying "Ah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Heath-Ledger let out a light sigh, grabbed him and pressed him against the edge of the door without stopping, and punched him, "Thank you."

The camera has shifted to the bedroom set, shooting the front door, only to see Heath Ledger's face slowly protruding from the edge of the quiet corridor door, he glanced into the bedroom, it seems that what he saw was not the film crew but a scary The cute little girl who was silly on the ground, he smiled slightly, pulled his gloves and strode in: "Hello."

"Why did you invite Bratt-Pitt to play Blue Gloves in the first place?" On the first day when Heath-Ledger officially started filming, Wally asked Wang in a very puzzled manner. Yang said, and Joss Whedon said: "Heath Ledger's performance is simply a miracle!" Now looking at Heath's chilling demeanor and demeanor, listening to this friendly tone of hello, Wang Yang I can only shrug my shoulders, this guy is indeed a miracle, why invite Brat-Pitt? "I do not know."

"cuT! Wow, very good!" Wang Yang shouted to stop the camera, then laughed uncontrollably, walked towards Heath-Ledger in front with open arms, and praised with a smile: "Heath, that's great! You put I, an acting genius, have finished the competition!" Heath Heath clenched his fist and touched his shoulder, and punched him on the back with the other hand, and said harshly, "Thank you!" Seeing this scene, Wali was stunned. Everyone in the film crew, including Pfister, couldn't help laughing.

"Kolo, Kolo"

The next scene between Blue Gloves and the little girl is the only scene of Chloe Moretz in "Firefly", and it is also one of the most critical scenes in the film.
