The Best Director

Chapter 205 Bad Joke

Las Vegas, Caesars Palace Hotel Casino, T-21-Team crew is filming the last scene, in the middle of the two rows of slot machines, a group of casino security guards in suits and ties look serious, members of the T team are all The clothes of ordinary young people are all around a slot machine with a smile on their faces. The corners of Natalie's mouth are slightly raised, and she said: Then try gambling.

She grabbed the joystick of the slot machine and pulled it down, and there was a rolling sound of ding ding ding. The expressions of Alexis, Jay Baruchel, Wu Yanzu and others gradually became a little surprised, as if they saw something incredible.

cuT—— Wang Yang, who was standing next to the camera, yelled, raised two thumbs up and looked around, nodded and laughed at everyone, Of course it's over, we're done. The crew immediately rang There was a burst of happy cheers and applause, and Walley Pfister turned off the camera, and clapped his hands with a smile. In addition to this gambling film, he has already shot 5 films for Miracle Yang, with different styles, which is really crazy

The beginning and the end are a lot of lines, really memorable. Natalie came to Wang Yang, punched him on the mouth, and said with a smile, I remember I had a headache. Wang Yang hugged her lightly, then went to the next one, thanked the lead actors and film crew, clapped his hands and smiled: Guys, thank you very much for your hard work over the past month.

He looked at the employees who were packing up the equipment, the smiling Natalie, Ali, Wu Yanzu, Joshua... and Rachel, who had already finished filming her scenes a few days ago, but who came to visit the set today, she had dimples With thumbs up and smiling faces, the heavy atmosphere of anticipation of the war did not penetrate the set.

We shoot very fast. During the day, you can sue me for abusing the employees. Hearing his self-deprecating tone, everyone laughed lightly. Wang Yang looked around them with his arms outstretched, and said with a smile: But it's really no wonder Me, I'm graduating in June because someone is rushing back to Boston for school, and even though she said, 'Don't worry, it's fine.' I don't want her to have to retake.

Under the eyes of everyone, Natalie smiled faintly, like a traditional and rigid good girl. Wang Yang looked at her and said with a smile, I can't graduate by myself, and I can't drag others down. I still have to be a Harvard student. Natalie answered with a smile: Don't worry, I won't fail to graduate because of gambling, but You've got me called a Harvard traitor.

Similar to ※La, Harvard and T also have a long history of rivalry and grievances. T's students are like Jeff Ma, they think fast and dare to play with anything. Student pranks are also one of its labels. Even the principal has not escaped, let alone Harvard University, which is teased all day long. The most talked about is that in 1982, Harvard and Yale had a football game.

In the second half of the first half, the Harvard team scored from the bottom line, but at this time, a small black ball suddenly appeared on the ground near the 46-yard line of the field, and it became bigger and bigger.

It has a striking T written on it. When the black ball swelled to nearly 2 meters in diameter, it exploded with a bang, and as a result, the entire stadium was filled with thick smoke, which made Harvard University at home extremely embarrassing.

Nata, whoever says you are a Harvard traitor, just say that I am actually an undercover agent. That movie will make everyone think that T's students are gangsters. Wang Yang looked very serious, and everyone laughed again. Ma Kaiwen also smiled very honestly, without any cool taste at all; Natalie nodded: Good idea. Wang Yang clapped his palms and smiled: So that's it, thank you everyone.

After everyone applauded again, the production assistants and field staff packed up their equipment and moved away. Wang Yang and others also walked outside the casino talking and laughing.

Looking at Wu Yanzu next to him, Wang Yang walked and asked with a smile: How is it? Daniel, is there any difference from filming in Hong Kong? Wu Yanzu frowned thinking, and said with a smile: It's slow here, Hong Kong is very fast. Wang Yang chuckled when he heard the words, he knew that Hong Kong movies are made fast, it is said that a movie can be completed in the craziest week, and it's not a dV, he laughed and said: It's not too late, my studio's filming Notoriously fast.

Of course, this also requires his salary to be sufficient, and at the same time, the crew has already had a great tacit understanding in cooperation, and sufficient work has been done during the preparatory period.

In Hong Kong, the routine is 9 hours a day; here is overtime. Wu Yanzu said an accurate figure, the division of labor here is very clear and detailed, there are many departments, the workload is light and the filming speed is slow, very rigorous and thorough, maybe the same as The level of investment is also related; he has also seen Miracle Yang's directing skills, and it really makes people feel like a spring breeze, and he feels like he is bursting out.

Daniel, if there is a chance to cooperate again in the future, I think there will be. Wang Yang shook his fist a few times and said with a smile: Don't waste your time, let's fight again next time. Wu Yanzu suddenly became tired Covering his face completely, he said, You can kill me now.

Outside the Caesars Hotel, apart from the staff who needed to deal with the drama, the protagonists said goodbye to each other, and were about to leave Las Vegas with their personal assistants and go back to Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... Because of the expected war, the crew We do not hold post-finalization press conferences, celebration banquets, etc., so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.

Dude, how's it going? Wang Yang saw that Joshua was looking at the white statue not far away, Alexis and Rachel were laughing and talking about something, Wang Yang gave him a push, and Joshua Shuya hurriedly asked: What? What? Wang Yang shrugged and asked, I asked how you are, Ali. It's been a month, and you haven't asked her out yet? You must know that this was the week before you A matter of time.

No, I said it's different this time. Joshua took deep breaths again and again, still couldn't help looking anxious, and said, I can't be so rash. I know she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, but I heard that Gilmore Girls The actor Milo Ventimiglia has an affair with her. Seeing his coy look, Wang Yang laughed and said, You really look like your first love, please ask her out for dinner.

Joshua scratched his head in distress, still not daring to muster up the courage. Now he has some experience of what it means to be afraid of being rejected.

Looking at Alexis with a peaceful smile over there, Wang Yang thought about it and said with a smile: According to my observation this month, Ali is the kind of very quiet girl who is more homely than your sister. Usually you want to chase after this kind of girl. Girl, either she is very deceitful, sweet talk and cool, but I think Ali is not, she is a well-informed person; or, you stop playing ua, she can see that she has something for you The feeling is yes, no is no. I can’t say for sure, you are younger than her, will Catholic girls accept it?”

It's just less than one year old. Joshua gritted his teeth and said anxiously: What's the age now? This is a fashion trend. Wang Yang shook his head and sighed: It seems that your sister had a great influence on your childhood Ah. Joshua frowned in disgust: Go away, is she as cute as Ali?

Wang Yang stared at him fiercely, and said: She is the best. Joshua looked at Alexis and Rachel embracing and saying goodbye, nodded and said: Yes. Wang Yang smiled, Patted him on the shoulder and said: You can figure it out yourself but I will give you a suggestion. You can tell her a bad joke. If she smiles, then she is probably interested in you. The happier you smile, the more interesting you are; if she doesn't Laugh, smile politely, laugh without interest, then stop for now

It seems so. Joshua's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, I knew you were a master of chasing girls. What kind of bad joke is there?

Let me think about it... Wang Yang thought about it intently. It must be bad but there is a certain amount of laughter, otherwise he would feel inexplicable no matter how he feels. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: Well, there is a candy ( sugr), it was walking in the North Pole, and then it felt so cold, and then it turned into crystal sugar (cryst1-sugr). Joshua nodded and muttered: cryst1-sugr.

If she smiles, remember to be confident and don't hesitate. Wang Yang pretended to be affectionate, his eyes full of aggressiveness, and smiled, So, Ali, how about we go out for dinner? I know There is a great restaurant, you must like it. He smiled and pushed Joshua hard, saying: Go, put away your first love, and give her more sense of security.

Joshua took a deep breath, then walked towards Ali with heavy steps. Ali, who had just said goodbye to Rachel, saw him and let out a hey laugh. Joshua endured the feeling of intoxication, and said with a smile: Ali, I'll tell you a joke, I just got it. Alexis nodded and said, OK. Joshua's heart suddenly rose, Said: There was a candy...and it turned into rock candy.

What, that's it? Alexis stared slightly, then laughed softly, and said with a smile, It's very interesting.

She smiled and Joshua was overjoyed, his heart was beating fast, he tried his best to appear confident and mature, he was a little out of breath, and said with a smile on his face, By the way, Ali, how about we go out for dinner? I know there's a great restaurant, you'll love it Yes, yes, yes... He was so nervous that his heart ached.

Alexis murmured, looked at his face, suddenly nodded and smiled, Okay, when?

Oh Jesus, when she heard her say yes, Joshua suddenly felt a burst of great joy that he wanted to cry, and asked anxiously, What about tomorrow? When are you free? Ali said, Tomorrow is fine. Joshua finally couldn't help grinning, looked at her smiling face, and said, Then I'll call you tomorrow, and I'll call you tonight...or tomorrow? Ali shook her head and laughed Said: I don't know, my phone is not that busy.

Well, let's talk about it tonight. After finishing speaking, Joshua hurriedly turned around and walked away, puffing out his cheeks and taking a long breath, wow - he clenched his fists so excitedly that he really wanted to jump up Waving, dating is the beginning of love. Joshua was about to rush towards Wang Yang excitedly, but he and Natalie were laughing and talking about something.

I want to hear a joke, the one from when Juno was finished. Natalie remembered that joke, covered her mouth and vomited, but sighed in her heart. To her, this disgusting joke was like A kind of mark, she has cooperated with him in the second movie, will there be a third? When? Slightly looking up at the smiling face of this good brother, she said with great interest: I don't want anyone who is not disgusting or perverted.

Another joke? Wang Yang frowned thinking about it, and talked about it almost every day on the set. Although he is not a disgusting pervert, but the stock is really running out... He smiled: I think about it, disgusting, there is a candy, It ran naked in the North Pole, it felt so cold, and then it turned into rock sugar.

Bingtang, poof. Natalie laughed out loud, followed by a hehehe voice. She suppressed a smile and said, It's not enough to be naked enough to be disgusting enough, it must not be this, right?

Seeing her overjoyed look, Wang Yang scratched his forehead immediately, it's nothing, the affection has always existed, he nodded and smiled: Yes, actually this is, listen, there is a guy trapped on an isolated island. Natalie couldn't help interjecting and laughing: Haha, it's a desert island again, I like it

It's not a desert island. There's plenty of food and water, and the weather is beautiful. His companions are a Doberman pinscher and a pig. Wang Yang said again, and Natalie pointed at He, surprised, smiled and said: You don't know? Wang Yang ignored her, and continued to laugh: So he lived quite comfortably, but after a few months, loneliness struck, and the fat pig began to change. It's getting more and more attractive, you know, pink, soft, round buttocks.

Natalie bared her teeth in disgust, Wang Yang also bared her teeth, and said in a loud voice: But whenever this guy wants to do something to the pig, his Doberman pinscher hugs his tuǐ , and then you know, shrugging all the time, it's very frustrating. Natalie shrugged, My Charlie doesn't.

One day, suddenly a rubber boat drifted to the coast, yes, he rescued an unconscious beautiful woman, very, very beautiful Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat M, hot. Wang Yang closed his eyes with a look of reminiscence, and sighed: Like Natalie Terman, like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor... when they were young. Natalie smiled , Wang Yang smiled and said: He saved her and took care of her patiently so that she could recover her health. The woman was very grateful and said to him, 'Thank you, I really don't know how to repay you, I will do anything for you, anything , just say it'

After he finished speaking in a shrill voice, he held his chin and said with a contemplative face, That guy thought for a minute, and then said to Natalie Hepburn Taylor, 'Can you take my dog ​​out for a walk?'

Natalie was stunned for a second, her shoulders couldn't stop shaking, she smiled silently, the corners of her mouth twitched, and it took a while before she panted and said, Do you want to laugh to death? But it's very good, very good. Great, I remember.

Yeah. Wang Yang patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, I wish you a smooth graduation. Natalie spread her hands and said with a smile, I've already said, don't worry, there is only one case where I can't graduate, and that is The joke just now has been written into the thesis. Wang Yang smiled and said, It's best not to.

With the official completion of T-21-Team, although there is no press conference, the news will naturally spread like wildfire. Even if the war is imminent, the entertainment industry will not stop, especially overseas in the United States Movie fans in China have been paying attention to the latest developments since it started shooting. What does this movie look like? Both Miracle Yang and the promotion of the lead actor say it's cool, how cool is it?

Now movie fans are looking forward to its first version of the first trailer, which will unveil its first layer of mystery.

And the post-production work of the film also started. In addition to the special effects for some scenes, the editing work is also carried out simultaneously. As an editor, Wang Yang hired Margaret Goodspeed, which is the successor. After High School Musical, When Happiness Knocks, and Juno, the two collaborated for the fourth time.

For the time being, Wang Yang ignored the first-cut version of the sequence of shots strung together in script order. He felt relieved to hand over the scissors to Margaret. The tacit understanding and experience made her understand what he wanted, and his script for the scenes was just Got a general idea. He didn't stop to rest, except to run to the editing room of Prison Break and do some supervisory work; he also had to devote himself to the preparation of The Devil Wears Prada, striving for an early start.

A few days after the film was finished, as George Bush's 48-hour ultimatum to Saddam Hussein expired, on March 3, Iraq time, the Allied Forces officially declared war against Baghdad, Basra, etc. Launch airstrikes on strategic cities and ports. After the war broke out, George Bush first scheduled a national televised speech, announcing the start of the war, and re-emphasizing that the war will be decided in hours.

Then the casualties appeared, Iraqi soldiers and civilians, a member of the US Navy 6th Squadron was killed on the 21st, the first American soldier killed in this war, the news sent back to the United States naturally lamented, and the anti-war faction protested more vigorously , and the main combat faction also shouted this moment must be united

The outbreak of war has affected all aspects of the world. Flame movies are naturally not in a vacuum. Chain Saw, which was originally scheduled to be released in early April, suddenly became out of date. Even if it is to promote the preciousness of life, bloody horror is not the current market demand. So it was postponed until November. Of course, whether to postpone it a second time depends on the situation at that time.

Anti-war demonstrations around the world continue to spread. Now TV channels broadcast live images of war all day long. Various retired generals and active generals come out to discuss and analyze, White House officials speak; newspaper pages are also full of war, war, War, war and the Oscars.

The war has been fought for three days, and the sound of bombing has hardly been interrupted. At this time, it is also the day when the 75th Oscar Awards Ceremony will be held.
