The Best Director

"FUсK-U, Wang Yang! Smith!"

Since the filming of "I Am Legend" started in early July, for more than half a month, a street in New York has turned into a doomsday and desolate scene from time to time. The crew who shot the exterior scenes first are racing against the clock every day, and Wang Yang is running in both directions, one in each hand. With the director's microphone and his left and right eyes looking at a viewfinder respectively, he fully understood what being busy meant. Fortunately, there was no confusion and the two teams are running well so far.

Despite this, things did not go smoothly. It was not that the two studios encountered major difficulties, but that "IAL" was blocked from time to time, which unexpectedly aroused public resentment.

As one of the most prestigious parks in New York, Washington Square Park, the main landmark of Greenwich Village, is a popular meeting place and venue for cultural activities. Even if it is not a weekend, the park is still very busy, especially now during the summer vacation. Not to mention the fountain, where children chased and played and were extremely happy; other benches, big trees, grass and other places were full of people, leisurely passers-by, intoxicated artists and bands, young people on dates...

Now someone actually wants to block it? Although it’s not a whole day, it’s not the entire park, it’s not a holiday, there’s no special event, and the lockdown won’t last for a few days, but!

"You and this movie are going to get this!" Piles of long weeds were placed on the grass, benches were dusted, the set was being set up and cleared, and a black guitar player who was asked to leave made a special trip to pass by Wang Yanghe Next to Will Smith, he cursed a few times and pointed his middle finger. He was playing vigorously, so he was naturally very popular, but he had permission to blockade and there were a large group of people, how could he still hang on?

The crew of "IAL" has never encountered this kind of situation. Most people expressed their understanding and left without any emotion. However, there were many curses and cynicism, and triggers in the same place were becoming more and more frequent. However, those who are dissatisfied are all whites and blacks. They have not seen Asians raising their middle fingers. Most of their reactions when they see "Asian pride" and "Asian light" are to ask for photos and autographs, and several girls even ask for hugs. .

Smith is not that powerful. In a short period of time, he has received only more middle fingers than Wang Yang. It even makes people wonder whether the popularity of Magic Yang + Fresh Prince is that high? It's only been half a month of filming, and all the blockade scenes have not passed one round. All members of the crew were very low-key about this. Wang Yang had repeatedly told not to quarrel with the public and not to give the media a chance to cause trouble. If they do their job well, they will receive their applause and praise, and even greater applause and praise.

After the black guitar player, two more young people gave them the middle finger from a distance. Maybe they would turn around and watch the DVDs of "The Pursuit of Happiness", "Independence Day", "Fireflies", etc. , but they might as well be angry now.

At this time, Wang Yang was discussing the lines of this scene with Will while paying attention to the situation of the set. A curly-haired white man walked towards him and mocked: "Hey! Wang, you are filming a bunch of shit.

Smith, are you going to act shit? Will was a little unhappy at being disturbed and said: "Sir, isn't it good to respect each other?" "Wang Yang is very calm. Recently, he is either very happy or very quiet. This sarcasm cannot make people angry. He folded his hands, shrugged and smiled: "Let us see, I mean one day, you You'll see it's a diamond. "

"Haha! The performance of this movie will be disgusting! Who will watch it?" Several stewards came forward to "lead the way" for the curly-haired man. He looked unconvinced and cursed a few times as he walked, spitting out a little bit of his saliva. . Wang Yang smiled again and shouted to the man walking away: "I don't think so, it will be fine."

You can't argue, but you can chat. The curly-haired man walked far away, and suddenly turned around, gave a thumbs up, and shouted to attract attention: "HEY——" Seeing this, Will couldn't help but sigh: "This is really the most annoying time I've ever had in my acting career." Wang Yang recalled the past in Chinatown, San Francisco, his hometown, and smiled helplessly: "It will always happen." Will nodded: "I want to wait until we finish filming. , no one can do that again in New York anytime soon.”

"Yes, what we are going to make is a special movie." Wang Yang patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the photography team, "So come on!"

Will looked at Wang Yang walking from the walking distance to trotting over, bending over and touching the head of "Sam" Anna, who was being held by the staff, and raising his hand to guide the photography team. Will had a friendly smile on his face. , 7 years have passed, and when I come to Yang's set again, he has grown into a truly great director.

Soon, the sound of "n!" rang out in this cordoned off area of ​​​​Washington Square Park, and a new day of filming began on the set.

In fact, the controversy over the blockade of "I Am Legend" was not limited to the studio. First, New York citizens in the relevant areas expressed their dissatisfaction on the Internet, and then other people joined the discussion, and then it became a social topic. The New York authorities gave "I Am Legend" Is it appropriate for the crew of "Legend" to block filming permission? There are countless movies and TV series filmed in this city, and I have never heard of any movie that blocked one place or another.

Magic Young is not a New Yorker, and New York City does not need to use his movies to increase its reputation and promote the tourism industry. They also blocked the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier for an entire morning, making it impossible for tourists to visit. I really don’t know how they did it. license! Wang Yang has taken over "Gotham Town", does that mean he can really run rampant? A considerable number of New Yorkers are very dissatisfied, especially when it is said that the filming period of "I Am Legend" will last for half a year and there will be many locations.

"Who gave them the right to blockade filming? It's disgusting. I was in Washington Square Park today and they had to clear the place as soon as they arrived. The children were very unhappy!" Darryl said in the New York Times forum Said; "I like Magic Yang, but things are not going well. He has offended the citizens of New York! No one should be able to cause trouble to the citizens so confidently." Walton responded to the post, and Lain asked: "" Will "I Am Legend" bring a lot of tax revenue to New York?" Stephenson-D said: "We should revoke his blocking permission and cannot continue like this."...

Even if other people or companies do this, there will be controversy, let alone Wang Yang who is at the center of the whirlpool! The characteristic of Pokémon news is that small things turn into big things, and big things turn into international events!

Smelling the appetite, the media and publicity fans swarmed out and pointed their bee needles at the older young man!

The "New York Post" reported with the title "Young and Will Rampage in New York City?" and also drew a cartoon illustration. Wang Yang transformed into a dragon and breathed out a blazing fire, and Will Smith held a demon ax in the background. It's a New York street. The New York Daily News, which has always been at odds with the Post, certainly did not miss the excitement. They included a photo of the set. Through a long circle of isolation tape, Wang Yang, Smith and others could be seen from a distance. Talking about something.

This incident immediately became a bigger issue, because Asians, especially Chinese, strongly protested against the New York Post's association of Wang Yang with the evil Western Dragon (n), which was simply a huge insult to the Asian community. ! Asian groups have demanded an apology from the New York Post.

For a time, even the serious "New York Times" also paid attention to this controversial incident, reporting under the title "The filming of Wang Yang's new work "I Am Legend" caused controversy"; as the American Associated Press published the article, both online and offline Next, whether in North America or overseas, the excitement of this event reached a new peak.

"Magic Young always has a way of attracting the attention of the media public. Even at a time when "The Da Vinci Code" is constantly controversial, he can still firmly occupy a part of the page. I hope those two movies will not disappoint. Otherwise, I believe that public dissatisfaction will only be greater.", "Sometimes it is necessary to block filming, provided that Wang Yang is seriously filming the movie, rather than playing meaningless money games.", "It is worth noting that he is filming Two movies are being filmed at the same time. Will this extend the total time of blocking the venue? What is his true attitude towards disturbing residents?"...

Editorial critics have written articles to express their opinions, and many people are setting traps for Wang Yang. If "I Am Legend" and "The Dead" are not filmed well, he is not serious and is just playing around. "Simultaneous shooting" is the best Facts have proved that his behavior of blocking the venue is naturally wrong.

"Science fiction thrillers are Wang Yang's area of ​​expertise, but he has never proven his ability to direct crime gangster themes." Yang Hei's film critics, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked up while taking advantage of the excitement, and they found an opportunity! ! ! In addition to the cliche clichés of "unproven" and "office building rules", Jeffrey Westhoff of the Northwest Herald sarcastically said on his blog: "The trailer for "I Am Legend" Even before it’s released, I’ve already seen a great show, perhaps even more exciting than the film itself.”

This is a way to achieve the purpose of stimulating Wang Yang and Yang Mi to come out and boast about Haikou. The bigger the better! Other film critics tacitly found another way to lift Wang Yang up and up again! Praising "The Dead" as the kind of film that is wildly nominated for Oscars, and "I Am Legend" as a huge box office bomb, the higher the expectations for the movie public, the better!

Then when he can't "finish", he will fall high... And the top one is "The Dead". When he disappoints the first time and loses the magical aura, the expectation value of "I Am Legend" Since being weakened, even if it was originally a nuclear bomb, it has become an explosive bomb.

"When I opened Wang Yang's transcript, I discovered an interesting pattern. The more doubts he faces, the greater his achievements will be. He will never disappoint those who believe in him, or This is the so-called miraculous Young's law. So I have reason to believe that his tricks of shooting at the same time and blocking the venue will bring new surprises. If "The Dead" receives 10 Oscar nominations in the future, "I Am Legend" will receive 10 Billion box office, please don’t be surprised, I told you a long time ago.”…

Seeing the exaggerated words of critics such as Allen Dell who criticized the film, the fans believed with confidence that, regardless of their criticism, Yang would take care of everything!

These disputes inevitably put some pressure on both crews, but both Michael Tedros and Wang Yang know that the blockade filming permit will not be revoked, and it has not reached that level yet. It is good to continue the quarrel. There are disadvantages. The advantage is that the attention is higher. The disadvantage is that the negative impact is also increasing. Wang Yang ordered the producer and the company to mediate the matter. His subordinates are working hard and do not like these external interferences.

In fact, regardless of the movie controversy or personal controversy, Wang Yang and the crew have kept a low profile from beginning to end, and the spokesman has responded with some necessary words. Firstly, there is not enough time, and he has no intention to share these gossips, and his joining will actually Let the incident intensify; more importantly, he knows that no one is the winner or loser in these quarrels now, and only the movie determines the outcome.

As long as the movie is made well, controversy will turn into applause, no matter whether the person wants it or not. ! .
