The Best Director

Chapter 106 Christmas War

On the night of the 23rd, there was another thing that deeply attracted the attention of the media, movie fans and filmmakers, and that was the announcement of the nomination list for the 58th Golden Globe Awards. (Read the novel) The Golden Globe is the third most important award in the American film and television industry, after the Academy Awards and the Emmy Awards. As the first film and television award awarded every year, it has always been regarded as the Academy Award weather vane.

This year's Golden Globe Awards, as well as the 73rd Oscars, which will also be held next year, can be said to be full of gunpowder. Since there is no such popular movie that absolutely sweeps all awards this year, in the media's predictions , with quite a few hits and movies. Including the biggest hit Gladiator, as well as Cast Away, Almost Famous, Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Steven Soderbergh's two films, Never Compromise and Drug Network and so on.

In the award for best director, Wang Yang is also a popular candidate in the media prediction table. The entry is Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door. With the release of Juno yesterday, this teenage pregnancy film suddenly became the Hot, X News' latest nomination forecast even said, I can't think of any reason why 'Magic Young is not nominated for best director'.

In the spacious and warm living room, Wang Yang and Jessica sat on the fabric sofa, watching the advertisements played on the TV screen in front of them. Jessica suddenly breathed a little nervously, took a pillow beside her and hugged her, and asked, Yang, if you are shortlisted... no, you will definitely be shortlisted, how should we celebrate later? Wang Yang looked Seeing her so nervous, he couldn't help smiling, moved his body and put his arms around her waist, and said, Just one kiss is enough. He kissed her on the cheek again, and said, Don't be nervous, there are nominations. , happy; no nomination, still happy.

He is not nervous but he doesn’t care at all. In his mind, the greatest affirmation and praise comes from the audience. They like the movie, laugh at it, cry at it, and go crazy about it. This is his greatest pursuit and enjoyment. One point is reflected in the evaluation of movie fans on the one hand, and the box office on the other; the second place is the Academy Award, which is an honor that all filmmakers pursue; and the Golden Globe Award, although it is the third in the United States. Big film and television awards, but he does not have that kind of longing, this award is at the back of his mind.

The reason is that there are only more than 90 foreign journalists for the Golden Globes, which is much less than the 6,000 or so judges for the Oscars.

It's not about buying awards and nominations directly, but canvassing, film companies will give some small favors to the judges, such as invitations to dinner parties and champagne bouquets. This is also what the public relations department of the flame movie did. They gave away some accessories of the movie, not to get special treatment, but to be treated relatively fairly. Small favors are almost limited to this. It is not the law that is the most regulated, but the reporters and the paparazzi. It is clear at a glance who has given whom, so that in 1981, Pia-Zadoya’s husband once paid for the judges. Going to Las Vegas, this kind of historical event is still the main criticism of the Golden Globes.

After all, this is the third largest film and television award in the United States.

The institutions and judges will naturally not go too far and run counter to the media, otherwise it will not have any authority and importance, and it will not attract much attention and be known as the wind vane of the Oscars. To maintain this affirmation, the Golden Globes also need to affirm good movies. If the Oscars are a good meal, the Golden Globes are a good hamburger, or more.

Therefore, Wang Yang feels that he will not be too disappointed if he is not nominated; but if he can be nominated, it is also a very happy thing, and it means that he has a great chance of being nominated for an Oscar.

Well, I'm not nervous. Jessica threw the pillow aside and leaned on his shoulder. After a few seconds, she sat up straight again, frowned and said, I can't do When Happiness Knocks The Door and Juno are so good, how can there be no nominations? The Internet and newspapers say they will, and there will be. Wang Yang smiled and hugged her vigorously, and heard Hello, everyone from the TV. , I'm Conan O'Brien voice, she immediately looked at the LCD screen, her eyes lit up and said: Yan, it's started

On the screen, Conan O'Brien, the host in charge of this year's Academy Awards, was smiling. He walked to the glass stage, put the list in his hands on the stage, spread his hands and said with a smile: Annual The Golden Globes nominations are coming and we've got a lot, a lot of good movies this year, and there's... well I can't count them or the suspense will be lost. He winked in his late-night talk show style, laughing Said: Okay, so who will be nominated for the 58th Golden Globe Awards? Let's see

He opened the list of nominations on the stage, made a surprised expression, said wow, and said, The first thing I want to tell you is the movie awards, and the nominees for 'Best Song' are...

There are a total of 15 Golden Globe film awards, namely Best Drama Film, Best Music/Comedy Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress in Drama and Music/Comedy, and the unified best Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress; Best Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Song, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Animation, and the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.

After announcing the five nominations for best song, Conan O'Brien went on to announce: The five nominations for best soundtrack are, Hans Zimmer, Lisa Gerard, Gladiator; Tan Dun, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Jann Kezmelik, Happiness Knocks; Rachel Portman, Chocolate; The Trio of Steeds Division, Kristen Wilkinson, Matisse Stewart, Larry Paxton.

YES Hearing Zhan En's name, Jessica cheered happily and raised her clenched fist: One nomination. She looked at Wang Yang with clean teeth, and said with a smile: Too Great. Wang Yang nodded with a smile, and felt very happy for Zhan En in his heart. When Happiness Knocks on the Door is because of Zhan En's masterful soundtrack, everything in the movie has been sublimated. Not to mention the Golden Globes, Oscar nominations are the most commendable praise Jayne deserves.

The best screenplay nominees are Cameron Crowe, Almost Famous; Kenneth Lonergan, You Can Count on Me; Stephen Gaghan, Drug Network...

Jessica held her breath and stared at the TV screen with slightly wide eyes. She remembered the predictions and comments from media newspapers. The script of Juno was praised as rare, excellent lines, warm and profound Wait, it's Conan O'Brien on the big hit screen. And O'Brien went on to read the remaining two nominations: Stephen Clover, The Wonder Kid, Doug Wright, The Quill. And No Juno or Happiness Comes Knocking.

What? She yelled in surprise, covered her forehead in bewilderment, and said in frustration, Oh my god, how could it be like this, Juno is obviously a hit... Oh, hell, are they blind? Wang Yang touched her head lightly, and said comfortingly: Sweetheart, don't do this, the lines of Juno are very popular on the Internet, that's enough. , but it might get an Oscar nomination, who knows.

Yeah. Jessica nodded, but she was still a little unhappy, frowning. Wang Yang flicked her ponytail and said with a smile, Please, my little Mary. Jessica glanced at him, laughed and said, Okay, but if you are not included in the best director, I will go to the Hilton Hotel Kick Conan O'Brien to death Wang Yang laughed, hugged her tightly and said, Wonder Woman, I need to remind you that this is not his nomination, he is just the host. Jessica smiled and glared Staring at the TV screen, he said, I don't care, he let me down.

While the two were joking, Conan O'Brien announced the nominations for Best Animation, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor and Actress in a Supporting Role, and soon, Best Actress (Music/Comedy) one item. Juno reports music/comedy, so Natalie Portman, who is a genius-level performer, is the hot candidate for this award. In the prediction tables of the media, almost all of them say Juno 100 % shortlisted.

There are five nominees, Renée Zellweger, Nurse Betty; Juliette Binoche, Chocolat; Sandra Bullock, The Pageant Undercover... Conan O Brian glanced at the list on the glass table again, looked up and said with a smile, Natalie Portman, Juno.

Wow. Wow... two nominations. Jessica smiled softly and adjusted her sitting posture. She looked at Wang Yang's side face and said with a smile: Natalie's performance is really good. Well, everyone says she can be nominated for an Oscar. Wang Yang didn't say anything, but kissed her lips heavily. Jessica feels the martial arts, the holy king made the holy king, kills the gods at night, kills the throne of gods, seeks the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young Zhou royal family, kills the gods at night, seeks the throne of the gods Move the universe, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, beg the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man of the Zhou royal family Feeling warm, her heart beat faster, she smiled and said, Yang, I know.

Seeing the sweet smile on her face, Wang Yang also smiled. At this time, the mobile phone on the coffee table in front suddenly made a ding-dong sound. He took it over and saw that it was a text message from Natalie: Brother, although this It was expected, but my whole body is still on fire, thank you. He said to Jessica, It was a text message from Natalie, she said she was very happy, as if she was on fire. The key position of the mobile phone, and replied to Natalie: Brother, call 911 immediately.

You don't need to tell me. Jessica leaned against him. Wang Yang put down his phone, put his arms around her again and said with a smile, I can tell you too. Jessica nodded with a smile: OK

While speaking, Conan O'Brien had finished announcing the nominations for Best Actor (Music/Drama) and Best Actress (Drama), and the next one was Best Actor (Drama). With his impeccable and touching performance in When Happiness Knocks, Will Smith is naturally a popular figure for this award, and his experience of winning the worst actor in a golden raspberry just last year also made him The breakthrough in acting skills is even more legendary, and the media even praised it as great.

The nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Drama Series are... Looking at Conan O'Brien who was about to announce on the screen, Wang Yang also felt a little nervous. He very much hoped that Will Smith would get this honor. I saw Conan read: Russell Crowe, Gladiator; Tom Hanks, Cast Away; Geoffrey Rush, Quill; Michael Douglas, Wonder Boy; And Will Smith, Happiness Comes Knocking.

YES Wang Yang and Jessica both shouted excitedly and gave each other a high five. Jessica smiled and said, It's great, we have three nominations. Will Smith sent a congratulatory text, laughing: I was on Late Night with Will and I said to Conan O'Brien 'Will can get an Oscar' and I could see him Thought I was crazy, but now, lol, he said the list himself.

After the best actor in a drama, there are three awards that attract the most attention, best drama, best music/comedy, and best director. When she heard that Juno was shortlisted for the best musical/comedy film, Jessica shouted happily: Four nominations and Wang Yang, who was also very happy, clapped her hands to celebrate; but then she cursed disappointedly A few words from the Foreign Press Association, because Happiness Comes Knocking lost the competition for the best feature film.

Now is the last film award, the list of nominations for the best director. Conan O'Brien smiled and picked up the list on the table. He looked at it, with a mysterious look on his face, ready to read it out with a smile: Who could it be? What did you say? Steven Soderbergh, oh yeah, who else is there? Let's see who's nominated for Best Director at the 58th Golden Globe Awards...

Oh my god... Jessica's breathing became very short, she was next to Wang Yang tightly, holding his hand tightly, and muttered without blinking: I Oh my god... Wang Yang smiled, sniffing the scent of her beautiful hair, and patted her on the back lightly, as if she was competing for the best director now. On the screen, Conan O'Brien read: Steven Soderbergh, Drug Network; Ridley Scott, Gladiator; Ang Lee, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...

After the announcement of three nominees, there were only two left. Jessica's heartbeat almost stopped, she blushed with nervousness, and said quickly: Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan...

Wang Yang also became a little nervous for a while, holding his breath and looking at the screen. It is always a joy to be nominated, and he does not want to disappoint Jessica, nor do he want to disappoint his parents and good friends. The encouraging voice of my mother sounded: A lot of friends in the neighborhood have asked me these days, can Xiao Yang be nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director? I told them, 'My son is still young. times. 'Sweetheart, do you understand? I'll always be proud of you.'

It's Steven Soderbergh again, this is the first time for Never Compromise, a director has two nominations at the same time. Conan O'Brien wowed, closed the nomination list, and said with a smile: And the last nominee, Wang Yang, Juno

Wow! Jessica sat up suddenly, jumped off the sofa excitedly, with a bright smile on her face, and shouted in a trembling voice: Yan, you were shortlisted, you did it, you are the best director of the Golden Globe Award Wang Yang stood up and spread his hands, hugged her tightly, exhaled, and said with a smile: Well, Jessica, we did it, thank you for your trust.

The two looked into each other's eyes, their heartbeat became very fast, Wang Yang held her face in both hands, her eyes were full of love and expectation, he smiled and said, I'm going to reward Jessica laughed Said: Well, come on. Then he kissed her lips.

Just as they kissed passionately, the phone at home and the cell phone on the coffee table rang, and the two kissed for a while before parting reluctantly. Wang Yang picked up his mobile phone, looked at it, and answered the channel: Good evening, Will. Will Smith over there smiled excitedly: Man, this is crazy. I won the Golden Globe Award. Nomination, like a dream, thank you and congratulations, MAN, the youngest Golden Globe nomination for best director...

Jessica, who was blushing, walked quickly to the wall where the telephone was hung. She picked up the phone and said Hello briskly, looked back at Wang Yang sweetly, and smiled into the microphone: Well , thank you, it's really great, he's chatting on the phone, um...

Dude, there must be many people congratulating you, so goodbye first. Hearing Will Smith say this, Wang Yang smiled and said, You too, goodbye. After the call, he opened the newly received text message on his phone, I can't see so many, they are all from the company, the crew and good friends. He just finished watching Rachel's Jan, congratulations, no need to reply and was about to check the next one from Michael Pete. call.

Seeing the caller Natalie Portman, Wang Yang answered the call with a smile, and said, What's wrong? Are you in the hospital now? How is the burn? Natalie laughed loudly and said: Die, die of joy Hey, when that guy announced just now, I was saying 'no jan, no jan, no jan...' Turns out you got a nomination, that's great

Wang Yang looked at Jessica who was talking on the phone over there, and said in doubt: Are you right? No Yang? Natalie over there said casually: Of course I'm right, I gave it to myself Psychological hint, if you are really absent in the end, I will not be disappointed; but if you are nominated, I will get a surprise. Wang Yang couldn't help smiling, and said: Well, this is what you learned at Harvard? Natalie said: There are also drugs, sex... Wang Yang smiled and said: OK, OK, I have to hang up, bye

The first time it aroused heated discussions among the media and movie fans, everyone has their satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

X News was very puzzled that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was not selected for the best feature film, and carried out a large-scale report under the title Golden Globe snubbed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, questioning the judges' unfairness, This is a serious mistake. Regarding Steven Soderbergh's two best directors and two best feature films, it is also the place where the media questioned and disputed, although those two films are classics. , but isn't Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Cast Away isn't it? They pointed out: The Golden Globes need to reflect on themselves

One of the most criticized parts of this list is that Juno was not nominated for best screenplay, and look at the Internet chatter, a lot of lines in Juno have become trend language, Juno Said quickly spread on the Internet, which is the charm of its lines; and its story, unanimously praised and highly rated by film critics, the ideas contained in it have been dug out bit by bit, without any doubts. Doubtful classic.

But now, it was not selected. Yahoo Entertainment commented: Are you kidding? Are the 90 Golden Globe judges all from the Stone Age? Fans also expressed their resentment, and even thought that the Golden Globe The award judges took money to make such a disgraceful decision. Juno should be nominated and deserve this award. At the same time, fans of suspense films are also quite dissatisfied. The script of Memento is unparalleled, absolutely It is a precedent for creating a suspense logic film, but it also lost the selection.

Did the Golden Globe judges snub Fantastic Young, and snub Fire Movie? But it seems not. Will Smith was nominated; Natalie Portman was also nominated; Of course, these three nominations are all popular predictions before, and if they lose the election, it will cause controversy.

This year's Golden Globe Awards, there are three directors who attracted the most attention and attracted media reports. For the first time, Steven Soderbergh received two nominations; for the first time, a Chinese director was shortlisted, Ang Lee; for the first time, a Chinese director Shortlisted, Wang Yang, 20 years old and 10 months old. The media and the public naturally prefer legends and magical figures. The youngest director nomination is enough, and the reports on Fan Yang's character suddenly increased: He has entered the ranks of first-class directors since then, Wonder Boy will break the Oscar record just around the corner...

In a latest IMDB poll Are you satisfied with the nomination list for the best director of this year's Golden Globe Awards?, 56% of the people chose to be satisfied, 42% were dissatisfied, and 2% had no opinion; while in Do you think Wang Yang's selection is correct? In the survey, 74% of the people chose the right one, 22% of the people chose the wrong one, and 4% of the people chose I don't care. Subsidiary survey Do you think Wang Yang can be nominated for the 73rd Oscar for Best Director? 68% of the people choose yes, 27% no, and 5% I don't care.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the media and movie fans discussing the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards, the box office on December 23 also came out. The 92-year-old Rest of a Deserted Island received 12.145 million US dollars, and continued to rank at the top of this week's list with a total box office of 23.9 million; the second place is still the 39-year-old Juno. It received 11.526 million box office in a single day, and the total box office came to 23.079 million.

Although it is far ahead of the third place 100% Men with a total weekly box office of 13.017 million, in the second round, Juno lost to The Rest of a Deserted Island, whether it is the total box office or the average box office of a single theater. . Is this Christmas battle between old and new confrontation a foregone conclusion? Is this week's weekly champion definitely going to be The Rest of a Deserted Island?

In the hearts of the website media, the game is far from over. With the announcement of the list of Golden Globe Awards, Juno, which has been nominated for three awards, has achieved the title of genius director and genius actress. This will inevitably cause new stimulation to the market, attract more non-young audiences to watch, and the box office will also grow and rebound. Perhaps the question to consider now is, can Cast Away hold up against Juno's counterattack?

24th, Christmas Eve. Last year's Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner, Wang Yang spent at Jessica's house, and it will be the same this year. Father Wang and Mother Wang returned to San Francisco after attending the premiere of Juno and did not stay in Los Angeles to spend Christmas together because they were busy with the festival activities of the Chinatown Restaurant Association. Wang Yang did not accompany them back to San Francisco. He felt that since their family is not a believer in God, it would be more meaningful to spend Christmas Eve with Jessica, and wait until the Spring Festival to return to the lively Chinatown.

It was already night, and in the dining room of Alba’s house, there was a Christmas tree hung with ribbons by the vertical window, and the large long wooden table was full of aromas, and the table was filled with hearty food, such as roast pig, ham, Salmon, pumpkin pie... and what is indispensable, a fat roast turkey; and a Chinese meal cooked by Wang Yang himself, braised pork ribs.

The dining table was full of people, Mark Alba sat in the middle of the top, Cathy Alba, Joshua, and their grandfather sat on the left; Jessica, Wang Yang, and their grandmother sat on the right, and the family surrounded sit together. While Joshua has a girlfriend, the girl who looks a lot like Britney, they haven't grown to the point where they have Christmas dinner together.

Before the meal, it was natural to pray. Everyone held hands, lowered their heads and closed their eyes silently, with a devout look on their faces. Only Wang Yang was not a Catholic among the people at the table, but he also prayed quietly, listening to Mark Alba's prayer: Our heavenly Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, may your His will is carried out in the world...

After a long prayer, the Alba family and grandparents sang a few carols together. Wang Yang continued to close his eyes quietly, and he opened them only when he heard everyone say Amen. Eye. After the prayer was over, there was laughter and laughter at the dining table. Jessica held the braised pork ribs with her chopsticks and said with a smile, Yang, I have to try your cooking. It smells really good. Joshua over there also couldn't wait to He forked a piece with a fork and said to his sister, Save some for me. You usually eat it every day, but I only eat it once a year.

Wang Yang smiled slightly, where is every day, he is not the kind of person who loves to cook, when he wants to eat Chinese food, he helps Fu Ji, Chen Ji and so on, although the taste is not as good as Wang Ji.

Young man, there was a big mistake in your movie Juno the grandfather who has always been very serious said suddenly. He always knew that the boyfriend of his beloved granddaughter Jessica was a director. He heard that the boy filmed He watched the movie Juno about teenage pregnancy, so as soon as it was released, he watched it immediately in Canada. He came to the United States this year to spend Christmas together, and he also wanted to talk to that kid.

Uh... Wang Yang was stunned, looking at the old man who was frowning, he asked modestly, Can you tell me what's wrong? Jessica had already told him that her Danish grandfather was very rigid And serious, is a super devout Catholic, and she heard from her grandmother that he was very dissatisfied when he saw the news of his granddaughter living together unmarried in the newspaper, and even said a few shame.

Everyone at the table fell silent, and the grandfather said in a deep voice: Young man, that is your attitude towards abortion. The current law that allows abortion is itself an unforgivable mistake. Fetus are all human beings, and they are all beautiful lives given to us by the Lord. Abortion is murder. Abortion is legal. It is a disgrace to this country. Disgrace to America, disgrace to Canada.” The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became: “If the Holy Mother had aborted the Lord, think about what would happen? Oh Lord Ah, please forgive my rash words...

Jessica, who was biting the braised pork ribs, was a little stunned. She thought for a while, then immediately showed a sweet smile, and smoothed things over and said, Grandfather, Juno didn't have an abortion in the end, she just...

It has nothing to do with Juno. The grandfather glared at her and said, And she once thought that much, Jan, why don't you directly oppose abortion? Tell everyone 'Abortion is wrong' Jessica looked at it with some embarrassment Wang Yang felt sorry in his eyes.

Wang Yang smiled at her, looked at his grandfather opposite, and said seriously: First of all, I personally am very opposed to abortion, and Juno is actually talking about that, but if the movie wants to express its point of view, it must first do Well hidden, if you let Juno say 'I am against abortion', people who support abortion will disdain to watch this movie. If you want to change their views through the movie, you have to let them go to the movie theater first, the movie It's not saying 'no abortion', but 'should not be abortion'. He paused, and continued: As long as they feel that pregnancy is wonderful and children are precious, even if the law allows them, they will think about it. 'I can't do that.

Jessica kept nodding her head, and smiled in agreement: Well, grandpa, that's it. Joshua quietly gave Wang Yang a thumbs up, and said with a wow: Yang, you really deserve the Golden Globe Award. Best Director nominee He got a good lesson today from being caught by his grandfather, and now he is very happy to see Young silence his grandfather.

Hmph... Grandfather really couldn't say anything to refute, but he refused to admit it. He said, Anyway, abortion is not good.

Okay, okay. Cathy and Mark smiled at each other, she looked at her father, then at Wang Yang, and warned: It's Christmas dinner, guys, no abortion, no politics, no controversy OK The grandfather shrugged, Wang Yang nodded with a smile, and said: OK Jessica also smiled, continued to taste the braised pork ribs just now, and gave Wang Yang another piece of roast pork, and said with a smile: Yang, Try this.

After the warm and happy Christmas Eve, Christmas came on the 25th, and the box office on December 24th also came out. Christmas Eve is a time for a happy family dinner, and the number of movie viewers naturally dropped sharply. On this day, Cast Away only received a box office of 5.82 million US dollars, and the total box office reached 29.72 million, continuing to rank at the top of the weekly list; Juno received The box office was 5.9664 million, and the total box office was 29.0454 million.

On the daily box office list, Juno defeated Cast Away for the first time, standing in the championship position. Seeing this situation, the fans' interest in this Christmas battle suddenly increased. Originally thought that Juno was lost. Unexpectedly, in the third round, Juno won a round and only three days have passed this week. In terms of total box office, the difference between the two films is only 674,600. It is impossible to predict who will win in the end.

On Christmas Day on the 25th, as the number of movie viewers returns, this battle has reached a very critical round. Under the normal movie viewing market, can Juno break out the power of three Golden Globe nominations? Although The Rest of a Deserted Island has only one nomination, fans and critics have unanimously praised it, and Tom Hanks' super popularity should not be underestimated. It can almost be said that whoever can win the championship on Christmas Day means who the market has chosen, and it also indicates the ownership of the weekly box office champion during the Christmas week.

There is another Christmas event that attracts the attention of basketball fans, and that is the NBA Christmas Game. On the afternoon of the 25th, at the Staples Center Arena, the defending champion Lakers ushered in a challenge from the Trail Blazers.

Wow, I can immediately know what it's like to watch the game from the sidelines Begging the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts, the heavenly general, killing the gods and the seal of the gods at night, seeking the magic, proud of the world, the ninth heaven, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, the god-making general, killing the gods and the seal of the gods, asking the demons, the world's most powerful It’s really exciting to abandon the royal family, it’s really a happy Christmas.” Joshua, wearing a Lakers home jersey, walked in front and kept looking around, looking at the fans in Christmas costumes in the auditorium. Looking at the retired jerseys and championship banners above the arena, it seems that it is the first time to come to the Staples Center.

Wang Yang, who was wearing a jacket and jeans, and Jessica, who was wearing a pair of big earrings, a ponytail, and a denim jacket, walked behind, listening to Joshua's endless chatter: Wow, the Christmas game, sit on the sidelines, Cool, that's cool Yang, thank you for your ticket. Wang Yang responded with a smile: Brother, it's nothing, this is your reward for helping us move the Christmas tree.

Hey, then you must tell me to continue to move next year and be on call. Joshua smiled happily, Watching football is one of the great pleasures of life, Jan, you know what I'm thinking right now? That nasty woman... He suddenly stopped, stared blankly at the seats not far away, took a deep breath, and said, Oh, my God, oh my God, Boo, Britney...

Wang Yang and Jessica also saw it. They saw the blond-haired Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake sitting on the sidelines, besides the three of them. The sluggish Joshua turned around abruptly, looked at Wang Yang and Jessica with glowing eyes, and said in a low voice: The place next to Britney is my wait, wait, I can't just walk over and pass Night. He adjusted his breathing, and walked back to the arena entrance channel. Wang Yang turned his head and smiled and said, Yue Shu, do you want to go home and change into a suit? Jessica joked and said, Remember to tie a bow tie.

Joshua raised his fist, then stepped into the passage at a faster pace. Wang Yang and Jessica smiled at each other, and continued to walk to the sidelines. They came to the seats and sat down, leaving an empty seat in the middle for Joshua. When Britney and Justin, who were chatting intimately, saw them, Britney immediately greeted them warmly: Hi, Jan, Jessica. Wang Yang and Jessica also greeted them with a smile.

Although the four of them didn't know each other before, they all knew who was who, so they became acquainted immediately. Britney looked at Wang Yang and said with a smile, Congratulations on your nomination for the Golden Globe Awards. Your movie is great. Justin and I are going to watch Juno tomorrow. Wang Yang smiled and said thank you. Justin on Britney's right said enthusiastically: Yan, I'm actually really interested in acting in movies. This year I acted in Two-Faced Supermodel, but it wasn't very good. I don't know if we have a chance to cooperate ?”

Oh. Wang Yang nodded. He knew that Justin Timberlake sang very well, but he really didn't know Justin's acting skills. After thinking about it, he replied with a smile: I don't have any movie plans now, maybe there will be one suitable for you in the future. Are you here to audition for the role? Justin said happily: Okay.

The four looked at the warming-up players on the field, and laughed and talked about their views on the game. At this time, the serious Joshua walked over with heavy steps, and said hello in a calm voice: Hi, everyone. Sit down in the empty seat in the middle and look at the Lakers players on the field without squinting. Jessica introduced Britney to the two: He is my younger brother, Joshua. Wang Yang struggled to hold back his smile, what is Joshua doing, imitating his grandfather?

Joshua Alba. Joshua continued to speak in a calm voice, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Britney next to him, and said in a deep voice, Are you Britney Jane Spears? Your song is very nice. Britney said in a daze, Oh, thank you. Joshua looked back into the arena, suddenly stood up and looked at Jessica, and said in a rough voice: You want a drink What? I'll buy you a drink. Without waiting for Jessica to speak, he walked towards the audience aisle, turned his back on Britney, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in secret joy, shouting excitedly in his heart Said: I talked to her. He secretly took a long breath, trying to keep his steps steady.

With a click, a photographer in the distance pressed the shutter of the telephoto camera in his hand. Although he didn't know who the young man was winking with excitement, the kid was sitting between Miracle Yang and Britney Sweets. This photo captured him Funny pictures are definitely worth more than $100.

Britney glanced at Joshua who was walking away, and smiled at Jessica: Your brother is so cool. Justin asked a little suspiciously: Is he in a bad mood? Wang Yang almost couldn't help but puff With a loud laugh, Jessica couldn't help laughing too. She covered her forehead and said with a smile, He doesn't always do this.

Soon, Joshua came back with three glasses of drinks and assigned them to Jessica and Wang Yang: Your, take it, don't knock it over; Yang, take it. After that, he put on a straight face Sit down in your seat, drink your drink slowly, continue to look at the stadium without looking sideways, and mutter in your heart: I want to be cool, I want to be cool...

In the following games, Joshua maintained a cool look. Whether it was Shaquille O'Neal's domineering dunk or Kobe Bryant's elegant break through and pull-up layup, he remained expressionless. He just patted his palms lightly, and once in a while after Kobe made a shot, he said, The ball is gone. With a bang, Kobe made a shot, and he added: Just kidding.

After finishing speaking, he carefully looked to the right out of the corner of his eye, and saw Britney and Justin whispering intimately, whispering something; he was relieved, and looked to the left, only to see Wang Yang and Jesse Ka was also chatting sweetly, without hearing his best opinion at all. Joshua rolled his eyes helplessly, he was about to lose his cool, and prayed in his heart: Britney, please go away... My seat on the sidelines, my Christmas battle...

But what disappointed Joshua was that the game was very intense and stalemate, and Britney and Justin watched until the end of the game; what disappointed him and all the home fans was that the Lakers were in front of the game before the game. When everyone was optimistic, they lost to the Trail Blazers 104:109.

Lord, why are you doing this to me? It's a terrible Christmas, I'm so mad, the damn Lakers... Joshua, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, cursed and punched the back of the chair again, cursing Said: Damn Justin Timberlake...

In the front driver's seat, Wang Yang controlled the steering wheel with a smile on his face, and went to Zachary's house to attend the dancing party. Jessica in the passenger seat looked back at her younger brother and said with a smile, Joshua, let me tell you something, Britney said before that 'your brother is so cool'. Joshua's eyes lit up when he heard that. His face was full of energy, and he asked anxiously: Did she say it? She said it? Wahaha, it seems that my strategy is right, 'Your brother Joshua is so cool'? Britney said? He excitedly With a wave of his fist, he said, Cool I'm a cool boy

Jessica continued to laugh and said, She also said that you gave her a new inspiration. She is going to write a new song called 'Cool Boy', which is about you. Joshua's eyes widened in surprise, and his body Leaning back, he said in disbelief, Really? Oh—my—God. Looking at the rear-view mirror, Wang Yang smiled and said, Your sister is just teasing you.

Joshua froze immediately, and after a few seconds, he cursed loudly: I knew shit, I knew it. He gritted his teeth and stared at Jessica, who was laughing so hard that she was about to fall on Wang Yang, and said with a dry smile: Haha, heh heh, okay, at night I said to my grandfather 'Grandpa, you know? Jessica almost got pregnant last year, and then there was Juno...'

Do you dare? Jessica roared with her brows upright. She didn't want to be taught a lesson by her grandfather. Cohabitation without marriage has already touched his bottom line. She almost got pregnant without marriage? Grandma won't let her go. Wang Yang smiled and whispered something in her ear, Jessica nodded, looked at Joshua triumphantly, and said with a smile: OK, if you do that, I will tell your girlfriend Joshua Ya is chasing you because you look like Britney, he's an asshole. Joshua gasped and said, No I'm not, I really like her who knows what Britney ?”

With laughter all the way, the three came to Zachary's house, and spent a happy dance party and a merry Christmas with their good friends.

There are still three days left in this week, and anything can happen. Will the 92-year-old guy win the box office championship this week, or will it be won by a 39-year-old young man? No one can tell.
