"It can't be said that "Firefly" will definitely win the Oscar, but A chose it."

Katey-h, a well-known film critic in the industry, said that the Oscars are Oscars after all, and there are too many unknowns. As Miracle Yang himself said, he did not win the A Director Award three years ago, but he won the Gone Oscar.

"firefly"? ;Best Picture: "Firefly"? "

In the past ten years, A's Oscar hit rate for Best Director has been 90%. The only miss happened to the magical BABY Wang Liyang, with a Best Picture hit rate of 50%; its performance in the past five years has been 80% and 80%.

At the age of 25 years and 11 months, Wang Qiyang became the youngest A-level Best Director in history. The youngest average age of the previous recipients was Sam Mendes, who was 34 years old. Now the record is 9 years earlier. However, it is his age that prevents him from winning the second Oscar for Director. If he is 45 years old, even if he is 35, he will win almost 100% of the time, but at 25 years old, he will be 26 when the Oscars are held in March... this most unique young man Man, will A screw up at the Director Award for the second time?

Every year during the awards season, in order to build momentum for the promotion of the film, major distribution companies will place a large number of "r-ur-n (for your reference)" advertisements in print media, outdoor and website media. These advertisements include The poster also selects the most impactful and impressive scenes in the film, and also includes the award-winning resume of the relevant film or filmmaker, as well as high praise from film critics from well-known and authoritative media.

For example, the mainstream "Hollywood Reporter" or "Variety" used large formats to publish the exquisite posters and movie shots of "Firefly", such as the confrontation between Captain Marr and others and the children in the Serenity Valley Plum Blossom Forest, with shock messages printed on them. The name of the award: "Best-ture, Best-r..." and the praises of major film critics, - "Time" weekly, Richard Corliss: "In this world, there are almost no One could make a better movie than "Firefly"! Fantastic Young is a perfect director..."

Through the amount of such advertisements, we can intuitively see the distribution company's investment in a certain work. The purpose of publicity is of course to attract the attention of the judges of various awards and leave an impression, so as to attract the attention of the judges. to vote.

However, spending money is money burning. How to produce good advertisements determines success or failure. Each film has its own positioning and popularity. Otherwise, too much money will be too much. Especially for films with too high box office, the use of too much effort will easily lead to resentment. , so the publicity strategy of "Firefly" is to use its innovativeness, its connotation, its film historical significance and other "literary aspects" to build momentum, rather than how much box office it has or how popular it is, to make the judges feel that it is Making a wise decision is not about blindly following the trend or being forced by public pressure.

This year's "Firefly" advertisements mainly include several scenes, the ending of "Return to the Valley of Tranquility", the thrilling passage of "The Battle of New Shanxi", the superb performance of "Blue Gloves", etc., as well as Wang Yuyang, José Wei Deng and others describe their creative ideas, etc.

These all cost money, plus sending DVDs, the distribution department hiring media public relations experts for publicity, arranging specific media public relations activities, lobbying and canvassing, etc., everything is inseparable. Start throwing money. Now, FF treats "Firefly" and "Brokeback Mountain" equally, investing resources and promoting the best strategies, single-handedly creating today's situation of two tigers fighting each other.

Spending twice as much money to compete for the same number of trophies, is Flame Movie a fool? How to ensure that the awards will be produced in these two films? If we choose to only run "Firefly", then "Brokeback Mountain" will definitely not be able to compete with films such as "Good Night, Good Luck" and "Munich Massacre". They will become the new tigers. Then if the judges choose academic literary films, "Firefly" lost, "Brokeback Mountain" lost; and if only "Brokeback Mountain" was produced, its extremely sensitive subject matter would probably cause it to fail in the battle of literary and artistic films. The science fiction film "Firefly" which lost momentum was even more popular. Elimination without hesitation, "Firefly" lost, "Brokeback Mountain" lost.

Her idea was based on the consideration of saving money, but it is well known that FF is addicted to burning money, who knows? In her personal prediction list for the Golden Globe Awards, Katie Rich's answers are: Best Picture: "Firefly"; Best Director: Wang Yangyang.

Yesterday, A announced the list of winners. Chloë Grace Moretz beat Miranda Juley, Georgie Henry and others to win the Most Promising Actor; "Brokeback Mountain" won the Best Original Score and the Most Promising Actor. Best screenwriter, best photography, best director and best picture became the big winners, in sharp contrast to A.

This interesting situation was also talked about by the fans, and even more so by the gossip. It is understood that at the A awards ceremony, Wang Yangyang, who appeared on stage twice, made everyone laugh. He won the best award. While receiving the director's trophy, E! The channel said that "Clooney has become the target of magical publicity." He opened a small talk show and made fun of George Clooney; then when it came to the best picture, he invited Heath Ledger, Jessica Alba and other cast members of "Firefly" came on stage together, said "We did it" and then handed the microphone to others.

"I can't wait to see MY on the podium." This is not just Suzanne-E's mood. Many fans of the movie are very much looking forward to this program that will be broadcast on the 20th, but most people Not E! Channel subscriber! tney-J said: "My family does not buy the E! channel, and the budget is not enough to support it. It is a pity. I hope to see the award-winning part of MY on Yоutube." r-L said: "Guys, don't wait until the 20th and Yоutube, the Golden Globe Awards will be presented on the 16th, I think MY will definitely stand on the stage to accept the award.”…

In any case, after "Firefly" was crowned as the most accurate Oscar indicator, it temporarily surpassed "Brokeback Mountain" and other films; in terms of director awards, Wang Yuyang now has A, ASA, and A; Ang Lee continues to be NBR ,, the next main battlefield is the Golden Globe Awards on the 16th. Can "Firefly" still make them happily shout "We did it" on the stage?

In fact, the current situation during the awards season is something that neither Flame Films nor even Wang Qiyang expected. They were indeed full of confidence in "Firefly", but they did not expect that it would explode with such huge power.

Wang Qiyang knew that "Brokeback Mountain" originally won this year's Oscar for Best Director and "Crash" won the Best Picture. Although "Crash" attended the previous Oscar in advance, the final trophy last year once again fully demonstrated that nothing is destined. If "Firefly" does not participate in the competition this year, maybe the best picture will be "Good Night and Good Luck", or it may be "Brokeback Mountain" or "Munich"; as for the best director award, because he became the first Asian to win the award Or, will the judges still choose Ang Lee who has lost his groundbreaking significance? Or George Clooney? Spielberg? It's possible.

It is the best and safest way for the two movies to work together, and they and the people in front and behind the scenes should be given the opportunity to compete and wait for the world to give the answer.

Wang Yangyang didn't want to think about so many things. He was tired enough from participating in various activities and socializing. He was planning a one-week vacation during the wedding week and the Lunar New Year at the end of the month. The vacation was not only for rest, but also for It was to say goodbye to the emotions of directing "500 Days with Summer" and even "Fireflies", to clear his mind, to think and feel "I Am Legend", and to find the feeling he needed; and on the 10th, It belongs to his baby daughter, Keke is one month old.

According to Chinese tradition, when the baby is one month old, several tables of full moon wine should be served to celebrate and meet with relatives and friends. The mother of the child was not in confinement. He, she, and she took Keke out on the street several times. There were a lot of photos taken on the street. The little angel also met many relatives and friends. It seemed that the full moon was lost. Wine is half of the meaning, but Wang Qiyang and Jessica’s family purpose is to incorporate joyful traditions and festivals, so the BABY-WER (baby shower) before the birth is indispensable, and the full-moon wine after the birth is also necessary.

What's more, he didn't participate in the sisters-only BABY-WER last year, so the full-moon wine must be served! Just buy whatever you want as a gift from a guest. So that night, family and close friends gathered at Wang Qiyang's house for a dinner celebration. The lively and cute Fat Keke became the absolute protagonist, making everyone love and laugh.

Keke is naturally a smart girl, and her growth progress is much faster than the average level of babies. However, Wang Yuyang and Jessica are happy, but they will not let up. The training and education of their daughter are no better than during pregnancy. There should be less prenatal education at that time. The baby's various senses need to be stimulated to promote the neurological development of the brain. If there is a lack of stimulation, the baby will only sleep after eating, and then eat and sleep after waking up... then the baby's The number of nerve cells and nerve fiber connections in the brain will be reduced, resulting in mental retardation and emotional apathy.

If their daughter's greatest work is a movie, and the filming is just starting now, the two of them will certainly not allow this "joint best director" to be rejected. They don't have to accept any awards, and they must win the "best parent" award. I wish Keke to be healthy, lively, smart and strong! Jessica was very determined: "If Keke gets a B or an A- in school in the future, then I will be a failure." Wang Qiyang glanced at her: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so strict, I sometimes get B's , SAT is very good, four digits..."

In any case, they have developed a series of baby sensory stimulation charts, which set up training in vision, hearing, touch, hand-mouth contact, movement, laughter, language learning, etc. in detail, so that the baby can learn as early as possible Express your feelings, "integrate into society" and be more willing to interact with others.

Ke Ke has already started to smile socially a few days ago and knows how to take the initiative to smile to others. Now the next milestone for the two of them is to laugh out loud.

Because singing, listening to music, etc. are used to train the baby's hearing, this gave Wang Qiyang the opportunity to show off his singing voice. He sang in English, Chinese, and a few words in Cantonese. Since Keke was born, Wang Jinyang feels that his singing level is getting better and better. He may soon be able to release a record and enter the finals of "American Idol" or something like that. Simon Cowell will raise his eyebrows when he hears it. Thumb: "Unbelievable!" But Jessica didn't agree. She thought she knew better than Siméng Cowell: "You are suitable for singing slow songs, but you will get better when you sing fast songs."

Wang Yang didn't think so. He called Simon Cowell and asked him for advice on using the "American Idol" hosting style. After one song, Simon Cowell's opinion was: " Your lyrics are well written and the film is well shot.”

Keke received a bilingual education, English and Mandarin. This is how Wang Qiyang came here, so he has no worries. He knows how to teach, possible situations and solutions... It sounds nice, but in fact he He had completely forgotten how he learned the language in the first place. He seemed to be born with the ability to use two languages. Under the memories of his parents, he vaguely remembered or maybe imagined some experiences.

At the beginning, there will be some mixed situations, such as "I-WANT-eat an apple", "I want to eat an APPLE", and I don't even want to say one of them, but after gradually persevering, everything will become natural.

He also asked doctors, bilingual education experts and scientists. Furthermore, as an honorary academician of the Royal Canadian Academy of Sciences, he also knows a lot of science. The latest scientific research results have initially proved his theory: "What should be done is How about it!" Toddlers have super adaptability and a very strong motivation to learn. Babies who have been bilingual since childhood will not be unable to learn. For her, all languages ​​are just codes to describe things. A bright red apple? She naturally thought that it was just the thing with the names "Apple" and "Apple".

When the baby reaches 2-3 years old, she will be able to clearly understand that she is using two completely different languages ​​without anyone telling her, so she will know how to distinguish and consciously use different languages ​​in different language environments, and Not to be confused.

Therefore, it is not a big deal for children to learn more than two languages. In some areas of Scandinavia, most children can speak three languages. They develop normally and do not have any language barriers or other intellectual disabilities. On the contrary, science shows that people who can control two or more languages ​​well tend to perform better on intelligence tests. But we must also pay attention to preventing stuttering, grammatical errors, etc. The key lies in patience and correct systematic education.

Naturally, she had to be weighed every day. Seeing that she was getting fatter day by day, her hands and feet were getting thinner. Although the fatter she got, the cuter she became, but for the sake of health, the two of them still took control measures.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

Ke Ke looked up at the sky with her big round eyes, and saw a few wind chimes hanging on the baby's bed. Suddenly, she saw two ghost faces sticking out from the side: "Hahaha!! Look at me! ——" Wang Yangyang's eyes rolled up hard, and he stuck out his big tongue; Jessica pulled down her lower eyelids with both hands, and her extended tongue kept moving left and right: "Hoho, look at me! Wang Qiyang glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said, "Look at me!" Then he rolled up his cheeks, curled his mouth into a B shape, shook his head and made a strange sound: "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh." ——”

"Look at me..." Jessica glanced at him, and immediately pinched her face with both hands, pulled and squeezed her face, and rolled her eyes around, "Gulu, gulu, ah, oh, oh..." Wang Yangyang couldn't help but laugh, Then he immediately said, "Look at me!" He pulled his nose and mouth left and right in different directions, "Wow hahaha -" Jessica couldn't help laughing, bumped her shoulders and continued: "Look Mine!" Wang Qiyang then bumped into her and shouted: "Look at me!!"...

"Oh, oh, oh!" Keke, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly laughed. Wang Yangyang and Jessica immediately took a deep breath and looked at each other: "Oh my God!!" At this time, Keke swung her arms, He laughed happily again: "Hehehehe!"

"Oh my god! YEAH!! We made it!!!" The two hugged each other ecstatically, jumped up and down excitedly, and shouted loudly: "We did it-" The two hurriedly let go They opened the other party's faces and continued the grimace competition just now: "Ah oh ha--" From the first laugh, Keke suddenly seemed to have an idea. She was amused by the exaggerated and weird faces of the two people and kept laughing, saying "Haha" "Oh!" he yelled, making babbling sounds from time to time, waving his arms and kicking, just dancing.

"Haha!!" Wang Qiyang and Jessica finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ke Ke was also laughing, and the whole baby room was filled with happy laughter. ! .
