The Best Director

"Happy birthday to Keke, happy birthday to Ke Ke, happy birthday to Keke -"

The sky is getting dark, the lights are shining beautifully, the yard with colorful balloons is bustling, and cheerful songs are singing in unison. There is a big cake on the long dining table with a burning candle on it, and the flame is lively. The ground shook. Quick Update There are many people standing around the dinner table, and they are the people celebrating the birthday of the birthday girl. Today is Keke's first birthday.

The 10th of this year happened to be Sunday. Wang Yang and Jessica held a family party for their daughter. They invited family members and some friends in New York to attend, as well as their dogs. Since the guests started arriving for the party in the morning, the garden has been lively all day long. The children laughed, chased and played with some rented children's play equipment. During this period, a "mysterious monster" dinosaur stuffed doll scared the children. Screaming, Jaden was trying to be a hero but accidentally beat up his master. He was so happy.

It’s been a long time since we had such fun. Danny was so tired that he lay down on the lawn and fell asleep early. The winter in New York wasn’t that cold this year. It was probably due to global warming. On December 1st, there was a new record for the highest extreme temperature in history. The recorded temperature was nearly 70 degrees Fahrenheit, which was not enough to cool its belly.

In the evening, Keke, who had dressed up beautifully and cutely in the morning, was already sloppy, covered in sand and mud, and with her red denim suspenders, she looked like a heroic pretender. At this time, she stood on a chair with a tired look on her face. The only thing he looked like was his big eyes, which were round and bright. Looking at the candlelight on the cake curiously, she had no idea about celebrating her birthday, but she just felt that it was fun and happy.

"Huhu——" Everyone sang a happy birthday song. Everyone clapped happily, while Matilda, who was in Michelle's arms, dozed off again and again. She could hardly hold on any longer, and her head suddenly shook again. Joshua shouted loudly over there: "Next is - wishing time!"

"Honey, get it!" Jessica encouraged Keke. Although they had explained it before, Keke still seemed to understand. After looking at his parents in confusion, Wang Yang reminded: "A birthday wish is something you want. It can be one thing or a state. It can be anything." Jessica smiled: "For example, if you want a dog rag doll, Or fly like a bird, or go to the park to play every day..." Everyone smiled and looked at the thinking angel, and she thought for a while. Suddenly: "I don't eat vegetables."

Everyone was stunned, not expecting that her wish was a reverse thinking type. However, everyone felt warm and interesting about this wish because of her childlike innocence. I was also a little surprised at her intelligence.

"Wow." Wang Yang suppressed a smile. It seemed that the baby would not be a vegetarian in the future; Jessica shook her head helplessly: "That won't work." Wang Yang patted his daughter's head gently: "Promise another one! Also, don’t let your birthday wishes come out." Keke suddenly thought again.

Looking at her innocent face, Wang Yang and Jessica were happier and more content than if they had the whole world. The scene of their baby's birth on this day last year was still vivid in their minds.

It seems that the baby has grown up so quickly in the blink of an eye, but in fact, only after becoming a parent do you know how difficult it is for your baby to have a first birthday. There are new situations every day of the month. There were so many difficulties, blessings, and changes experienced during this period, and now they are all happy memories. Raising her into the healthy, happy, smart and cheerful baby she is now is their proudest achievement.

Keke stared at the candlelight for a while. He smiled as if he had an idea, and smiled and shouted: "I won't sleep!" That way, you can play non-stop!

"Sweetheart, blow out the candles! Blow out the candles!" Wang Yang and Jessica took the lead in cheering and applauding. This wish would definitely not come true. They expected that she would fall asleep after finishing the cake. Everyone also smiled, and with a round of applause, Ke Ke blew out the candles. She is one year old!

Naturally, the next step is to share the cake. Matilda has fallen asleep and did not eat the cake from the boss; Keke ate a piece. She is very much looking forward to the moment when her wish comes true. It seems that it has already taken effect? She didn't feel sleepy at all! However, as the nerves that had been excited all day relaxed, she leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes unconsciously and fell asleep. Even if Jessica picked her up and walked into the house and put her on the baby's bed, the birthday girl did not react at all and fell into a deep sleep. Not even talking in sleep.

It's especially fun to have a barbecue party in the winter. Even though the birthday girl is not present, the yard is still full of fun, and the guests don't go home one after another until very late.

Ke Ke woke up from a long sleep over there and found herself lying in the room. The sky outside the window was already blue and white clouds. However, she did not forget her good wish. She sat up and jumped out of bed, shouting repeatedly: "Mom, Dad! "Will you still sleep after making a wish? In order to prevent her sweetheart from having a bad impression of Wish, no matter whether she had any doubts or not, Wang Yang gave her a romantic explanation: "Actually, sleeping is a way of passing through another world. There are some good friends in dreams, and every day when I fall asleep, I went to play with them." Ke Ke didn't know much about playing the piano to a cow.

On this day, Wang Yang arranged the traditional activity of catching a child. She was supposed to be caught yesterday, but she fell asleep. Of course, this activity was just for fun and to have more interesting things. The two of them did not believe that catching a child like this could tell the future fate of a child. She doesn't even plan to focus on cultivating her ambitions. She doesn't even fully understand what those things are and what their uses are; but it can indeed test what she is most interested in at the moment.

All the week-catching items were placed on the sofa. When the red cloth of "Huo Hu" was lifted, there were books, pens, abacus, microphone, DV camera, camera, teddy bear doll, lipstick, beautiful skirt, Oscar Best Director trophy, mouse, spoon, harmonica, building blocks, toy pistol, a basketball...

"Um, um, um..." Ke Ke looked at the pile of things in front of her and made a chirping sound. Can she only catch one thing? She was a little confused. She stretched out her hand in one direction, then retracted it, and then moved in another direction...

Another DV camera was filming, and photographers Wang Yang and Jessica standing nearby couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Whatever you grab is fine, baby, decide quickly! What could it be? On the dv screen, Keke's hands reached towards the sofa. Finally caught it...

"Oh!?" The two people's eyes widened for a moment, "Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Keke happily threw herself on the sofa, hugging a lot of things with her hands, and babbling happily. The guy is cheating!

Time is passing by, and on December 14th, the nomination list for the annual Golden Globe Awards will be announced!

The registration deadline for this year’s film category is November 10th, before then. Several flame films have been nominated. The main force of ff to impact the 2006-07 awards season is Sunshine Beauty (Music/Comedy) and The Dead. Both films have names for their respective awards; Mamma Mia, Magician and Deadly Magic are registered in a targeted manner, which can be said to be full of firepower.

If you register well, you will get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise you may leave empty-handed. For example, in Scandal, Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench are both heroines according to their roles, and both of their performances are great. However, considering that Blanchett is allowed to compete for the best actress. Not only would she be fighting with Dench, but she would also be fighting with herself (The Good Guys), so in the end Fox Searchlight nominated her for Best Supporting Actress. Obviously Blanchett in The Good Guys looks more like an actress. .

There are so many dead people. Heath Ledger and Michael Pitt were both nominated for Best Actor; Nicholson, Spacey, and Wahlberg were nominated for Best Supporting Actor; even Natalie, who had few roles, Knightley was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

What was a bit surprising later was that the now-popular Sunshine Belle only let 10-year-old Abigail Branslin compete for Best Supporting Actress instead of Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy. Fellow film producers, Media and movie fans can only understand that this is a mistake by the Flames, a rare mistake.

After signing up, of course you also need to publicize and build momentum. Previously, on December 1, the nomination list was sent to the judges. Then Ernst \u0026 Young took it back on the 11th. In theory, if you complete the registration, you will be eligible for selection. The judges can vote even if they have never seen the movie.

In fact, whether the judges have carefully watched all the candidate films has always been a controversial topic. How to impress the judges depends on the operating methods of the distribution company. But no matter how well it works, no one will vote for a film that hasn't been made, has no jury screenings, and hasn't been released. The deceased rushed to complete the project in early December just to catch the last train. You must know that the deadline for this year’s film screening is December 6, and the deadline for the press conference is December 7.

So the Dead Man was produced on the 1st, and it only took less than a week until the promotion was over, but the great director has one advantage: he is particularly valued by the judges. Having received an invitation to watch the movie very early, who wouldn’t take the time to watch Miyazaki’s movie? The new work of the best director who won the last Golden Globe Award and Oscar!

What kind of performance will the "simultaneously shot" Pokémon film show to the public for the first time? The world's media and public are paying close attention to it. Will there be any gains from popular films such as The Miracle Director and Blood Diamond?

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Lorraine Nicholson. This is the announcement of the nominations for the 64th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards. Next, you will see the best film and television works in 2006 being awarded."

The TV playing the channel sounded the familiar opening remarks, and the scene was at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. In front of the glass podium were the current Golden Globe Awards winners Lorraine Nicholson (Jack Nicholson and Rebecca Blue). Sal's 16-year-old daughter), with a youthful and pretty smile, she opened the envelope in her hand and read: "The first thing to be announced is the film awards. The nominations for 'Best Original Song' are: Bobby, H, Brian -Adams, Elliott Kennedy..."

Whether it is the dim sky in Los Angeles or the early morning in New York, there are countless viewers who have woken up in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast, and many nominees are nervous.

"Hahaha! Wow - you can't run away!", "Yeah -", "The dinosaurs are coming!" Ke Ke, who doesn't like to sleep, has already woken up and is running around laughing and joking with her father in the living room. This time last year, she could only cry and lie in her parents' arms, waiting for food. Now she runs as fast as the wind. Jessica would not miss the moment when the Golden Globe nominations were announced. She believed that his phone would receive many, many congratulatory text messages later. When the announcement began, she hissed: "Dear, be quiet for a moment; Ke Ke, Come over here, mom."

Wang Yang and Keke stopped. He saw an unpacked yellow coat on the sofa. He rolled his eyes, smiled at his daughter and asked, "Baby, do you know what a golden ball is?" Keke shook her head in confusion. Wang Yang shook his head, quietly picked up his coat, threw it on Jessica's head, laughed and said: "That's it!" Seeing her mother's head covered by clothes, Ke Ke was very interested. laughing out loud. Unexpectedly, Jessica was angry. She ripped off her coat and threw it aside, staring at him: "Asshole, can you sit down for me! This is... very serious!!"

"Mom is angry." Wang Yang knew that he was in trouble, so he winked at Ke Ke and whispered instructions: "Tell mom that you love her." After being ordered, Ke Ke walked up, patted her mouth and touched her mother. Jessica smiled brightly at her, hugged Keke and kissed her hard, but turned her head and gave Wang Yang a hard look. Wang Yang walked over silently, patted his lips and kissed her, hugged his wife and daughter and looked at the TV together. At this time, Ke Ke learned the phrase with great interest: "Asshole, bastard." The two of them quickly attracted her attention: "hey, hey, hey..."

"The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are: Ben Affleck, Hollywoodland; Eddie Murphy, Dreamgirls; Jack Nicholson, The Dead;" Lorraine smiled even more when she read her father's name, Continued: "Brad Pitt, Tower of Babel, Mark Wahlberg, The Dead."

"Here are the nominees for Best Screenplay: Guillermo Arriaga, Babel; Patrick Marber, Scandal; Peter Morgan, The Queen; Aaron Sorkin, Fantastic Director; Wang Yang, The Dead."

“The nominees for Best Actor in a Drama Series are: Leonardo DiCaprio, Blood Diamond; Heath Ledger, The Dead; Peter O’Toole, The Last Day; Michael Pitt, The Dead; Riester-Whittaker, the last dictator.”

Following Lorraine's words, the big screen behind her displayed the photos and names of the nominees. Heath smiled shyly, Michael looked calm, and the TV fans cheered, great harvest! And all the people in the industry couldn't help but be surprised. Without the voice of the media and the public, they were both shortlisted in just a few days of official publicity. What does this mean? The performances of those two guys were shocking enough! Like the previous Best Supporting Actor win, plus Best Screenplay, will The Dead be a bad movie?

Soon, Lorraine announced the nominations for another much-anticipated award: "The nominees for Best Director are Clint Eastwood, Letters from Iwo Jima; Stephen Frears, The Queen..."

At this moment, all fans of Yang Yang are worried. Will Wang Yang be shortlisted for two consecutive years? ! .
