The Best Director

"The nominations for the 63rd Golden Globe Awards were announced, with "Brokeback Mountain" leading the way with 7 nominations" - Yahoo Entertainment; ""Firefly" received 6 nominations, science fiction movies return to the Golden Globe Awards!" - "Los Angeles Times"; " Magic Yang completed the impossible task, and Flame Movie became the big winner" - "New York Times"; "Wang Yang set a magical record, and at this moment he dominated the Golden Globes" - Sina Entertainment; "All the filmmakers cheered in the early morning, Magic Yang "The most mentioned person" - Hollywood.; "Miss Golden Globe is actually a fan of Wang Yang" - Y0UTUBE; "Amazing Yang beats doubters with 6 nominations" - "San Francisco Chronicle"; ""Firefly" "Additional golden ball chips, science fiction movies spring is coming" - "Boston Chronicle"...

After three years, in 2002, "District 9" and "The Hangover" were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture in the Drama and Musical/Comedy categories, and received 4 nominations including Best Director. This year, King Young accomplished the feat again, and even more dazzlingly! "Fireflies" and "500 Days of Summer" brought a total of 5 nominations, and "The Big Bang Theory" brought 6 nominations! The "Nomination King" has irresistibly become the absolute protagonist of a new round of heated discussions among the media and the public!

Whether it's North America or Asia... whether it's the entertainment event itself or surrounding tidbits such as "Dakota Johnson said she was emotional when reading out her idol's name", global media are rushing to report on it. Wang Yang was just promoted a few days ago. The father's situation has further fueled the topic. There are also thanks and admiration from the "Brokeback Mountain" crew members such as Ang Lee and Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Natalie Portman and others, as well as TV It's the same situation over at the awards, where Fantastic Director eclipsed other nominees such as George Clooney and Spielberg.

Heath Ledger, who was nominated for both Best Actor in a Drama Series and Best Supporting Actor, could still keep his shine. In an immediate phone interview with The New York Times, he kept saying the same thing to Wang Yang: " Michelle and I are very grateful to Yang. He is my life mentor and he has really helped me a lot. In terms of acting and life, Michelle and I got together because of "Brokeback Mountain" and we were filming He taught me a lot during "Firefly" and in normal times. I love my family, my fiancée, my daughter... My life and career have all changed a lot."

Heath Ledger has always been very arrogant. When did he respect someone so highly? Movie fans who saw the news couldn't help but sigh that Miracle Young is really a prodigal killer.

"Jan has a very special charm. He can make you think about every problem calmly. At the same time, you want not to lose to him and get his praise, so you are full of energy." Talked to the Los Angeles Times about why every time Natalie Portman said this when she and Wang Yang both had outstanding performances. She added: "Of course it's not just that. He knows what role you are suitable for. He knows how to inspire and inspire... I think that's why Everyone thinks about his acting on the set, and no one doesn't love that atmosphere. Yes, we have already congratulated each other, and thank him very much."

"Does anyone remember the overwhelming skepticism surrounding The Devil Wears Prada?"

Yahoo Entertainment's review article "Young's Perfect Revenge" begins with this,

It even listed a series of questioning voices, with only business, satisfaction, and fall in its eyes... completely forgetting that it had cast a cold eye on it at the beginning, "Now the facts have proved who was right and who was wrong in the original verbal battle."

This praise article is undoubtedly a great satire on the blackmailers, but at this moment, who would jump out and make a few insults?

Jeffrey Westhoff, who famously criticized the "Northwest Herald", only said a mild sarcasm in his blog comments, "Fire always pleases the judges." The message board was filled with a large number of movie fans. Fans responded with poisonous tongues; Roger Ebert was too wise. The old man returned to the camp of die-hard fans of Magic Young early on. When predicting the nomination list, he checked all 6 items of "Firefly" and even said: "I I can’t believe that Fire Movies would be so conservative. Wouldn’t they blush after seeing Brokeback Mountain? Firefly has enough ability to compete for Best Actor, but what have they done?”

"The day Firefly was released, I knew the frontrunners for this year's Golden Globe and Oscar nominations." Roger Ebert commented on the newly released nomination list. He once again gave Robert Downey Jr. a few hugs. The sentence was unfair, because he felt that there should be 7 nominations, and added: "There is nothing to say, those judges just made the decisions that normal people would make." Compared with "District 9", he was surprised and happy. This year, regardless of the film Considering itself, ratings, public opinion, etc., no one dares not to nominate "Fireflies". This is a kind of "grand visit".

"'My pursuit is to be a deep and superficial filmmaker. I won't say who it should be, girls, boys, everyone's pursuit, but it is mine.'"

"Young's Perfect Revenge" excerpts Wang Yang's well-known blog post "I Want to Become a "Profound \u0026 Superficial" Filmmaker" published on Christmas Eve in 2003. At the end of the article, he wrote: "Profound and superficial, art and business, for magic For Young, it is already an easy and comfortable thing to produce alone and in combination. He always finds ways and surprising ways. Now he has shocked the world with 6 nominations, and at the age of 25 and 10 Yue’s age tells everyone that he has just started.”

However, things always seem to have regrets. The third season of "Prison Break" was not selected to compete for the best TV series in the drama category. Moreover, Wang Yang has withdrawn from the main creative team, which makes him unable to achieve the spectacular feat of "nominated for four major awards at the same time" One scene, but he still has great hope of becoming the first person in history to win four major awards. The first season of "Prison Break" has won the Best Series trophy at the 61st Congress, and is still missing three golden balls.

Although "District 9" made history by winning Best Director at the 60th edition, it did not break the 20-year "best picture drought" for science fiction movies. By the time the 63rd edition was held, it would be 23 years. This time "Firefly" could Make up for this regret?

This year's Golden Globe Award nominees for Best Picture in the Drama category are in the same style as before, with academic films taking the lead, including the homosexual theme of the novel "Brokeback Mountain", the politics and love of "The Immortal Gardener", and the black-and-white film "Goodnight, Goodbye" The politics and humanity of "The History of Violence" adapted from comics; and the only surreal-themed film "Firefly" politics and humanity.

This list is basically among the popular predictions. In fact, it is another competition between academics and science fiction films. In the internal competition among academics, "Brokeback Mountain" is undoubtedly the most popular, so now the media believes that it is not "Brokeback". "Mountain" is "Firefly", and the judges will probably choose between the two.

Compared with the Oscars, the Golden Globes are more tolerant towards science fiction films. In 1983, "E.T." took away the best picture in the drama category. Steven Spielberg lost the best director to Richard "Mahatma Gandhi" -Attenborough, but in 2003 "District 9" lost to "The Hours", and Wang Yang unexpectedly won the best director. "District 9" was far inferior to "Firefly" in terms of popularity, evaluation, influence, and box office at the time. It was the "Star Wars" and "E.T." of the 21st century, but science fiction films happened to target homosexuality... …

What a confusing situation! This is also reflected in the handicap predictions quickly issued by the famous betting company Bet365. "Firefly" has the second lowest odds, and "Brokeback Mountain" has the first lowest odds.

This headache for gamblers is even more serious when it comes to Best Director. As we all know, Wang Yang has been nominated for three Golden Globes for Best Director. The first time he was nominated for "Juno"; the second time "District 9" won, then At that time, the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars "kept you guessing" and favored elements such as young people, Asians, science fiction film directors, etc., and there were no absolute popular choices. It also benefited from the vigorous campaign of the Fire Movie, so it became popular. cold.

The third time around, the gap in terms of award-winning ability, film reviews, and sensational effects was huge. Wang Yang suddenly transformed and became an absolute favorite! Without the Best Director trophy for "District 9", his odds are estimated to be as low as 1.00001. But now he is in trouble because of his age and age.

George Clooney was 44 years old (1961-5-6), Peter Jackson was 44 years old (1961-10-31), Ang Lee was 51 years old (1954-10-23), Fernando Merrills was 50 years old (1955-11) -9), Wang Yang was 25 years old (1980-2-5), and Steven Spielberg was 59 years old (1946-12-18). The average age of the six directors is 45 years old, and Wang Yang has aged 20 years in an instant. If you respect the elders, Spielberg is the obvious choice, but he already has two trophies (2/10) and does not need any compensation from the judges; when it comes to the comprehensive strength of the academic school, Ang Lee is the most popular, and he plays small You can also choose George Clooney for tricks, Jackson and Merrills are the accompanying runners... Magic Young! ? 25 years old, two Golden Globe Awards for Best Director! ? 2/3?

The judges really had mixed emotions. They never thought that Wang Yang would come back after three years. Where is Sam Mendes? Where is Steven Soderbergh? But if you don't give the best director to a "masterpiece" with a global box office of 1.8 billion, then...

Anyway, the media and the public know that the heads of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association judges will explode, but the chance of another Chinese Golden Globe Best Director being born is the greatest, and the Best Director handicap offered by Bet365, Ang Lee’s fixed The odds are 1.08, Wang Yang 5, George Clooney 9, Fernando Merrills 17, Spielberg 19, Peter Jackson 19.

"It's not easy to buy!" Except for crazy and extreme people, ordinary gamblers are not willing to buy this fixed odds. They should try floating odds, or wait for Oscar's fixed odds.

"It's definitely Magic Yang, Magic Yang, Magic Yang... I love Magic Yang!" Fans don't care so much. The voices of support from fans on the Internet have already been overwhelming, converging into one sentence: "Whether it's the Golden Globe or the The Best Director Oscar belongs to Young!!!" In the comments of Yahoo's report, Rogge-N expressed dissatisfaction with the analysis of the article: "Should Young's achievements be ignored because he is young? Age discrimination?! This is the most ridiculous The reason!” Michaela-K wrote excitedly: “At the age of 26, I have two Golden Globe Awards and an Oscar for Best Director. I get excited just thinking about it!”

How popular is the iconic director Miracle Young now? According to statistics from the Social Security Administration, the number of babies named "ung" has increased significantly for several consecutive years.

In the list of the most popular names for newborn babies in 2001, "ung" entered the top 500 for the first time, ranking at 486th; in 2002, it rose to 431st; in 2003, it exploded after becoming the youngest person to win the Oscar for Best Director. It soared all the way to the 195th place; in 2004, it reached the 113th place. With his own efforts, Wang Yang turned an unpopular name into a popular name, affecting the love of the entire society. To exaggerate, he said "all Asians" All male babies are called ung." Now many people are waiting for him to announce his daughter's name.

According to sociologist Paul Ray, the first generation of fans of Miracle Yang have reached the stage of getting married and having children. Coupled with his popularity, ung's ranking will rise in the next few years.

"It's time to verify the authority of the Golden Globe Awards. If Wang Yang is eliminated, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame." Fan n-ze said, "Are there any questions? Who is Yang if it's not magical? I only watched it this year One movie, "Firefly", the rest are just images." urtney-D said, while Catherine-E said: "Magic Young has done enough, he has brought us all kinds of incredible shocks, let's watch again Look at the praise the actors and staff have for him, isn’t this the best director? Give me a reason why he doesn’t win the award?”

"Ten reasons why Young won't win the best director!" This comment had a very high support rate. The commenter Molly-J wrote: "First, his "The Ghost Story" scared many children. A little girl was almost scared to death; secondly, his "High School Musical" made many teenagers addicted to singing and dancing, which dragged down their studies, and many Asians got B's; thirdly, his "The Pursuit of Happiness" made many middle-aged men Resigning one's job to pursue one's dreams resulted in broken families and a sharp rise in divorce rates; fourth, his "Juno" caused a group of ignorant girls to get pregnant collectively, and countless girls became pregnant individually, causing a sharp rise in early pregnancy rates;

Fifth, his "District 9" makes people lose their sense of security, and they don't know when Forson will invade the earth with the shrimp people; sixth, his "The Hangover" teaches people to drink alcohol and become morally corrupt; seventh, his "T-21-TEAM" taught people to gamble, and said it was not gambling. It used Natalie Portman to discredit T and Harvard at the same time and help Stanford recruit students; eighth, his "The Devil Wears Prada" made many women become Yearning for brand-name luxury goods, but did not tell them that Jessica Alba is more beautiful than them in all the clothes on the street;

Ninth, his "Firefly" moved Western cowboys into space in an attempt to make Indiana Jones unemployed and attack Spielberg and Lucas, with sinister intentions; tenth, although his "500 Days with Summer" still has It hasn't been released yet, but you can tell from the title that it will cause a huge increase in breakup rates. You said, if Yang's ten movies are such bastards, how can you give him the best director? ! "

When Evelin, Claire and others saw this message being forwarded everywhere, they couldn't help laughing. They really felt that they had been IN-U-E, but they also forwarded it to their friends.
