Chapter 146 Another Christmas
When the crew of "The Ninth District" completed all the shooting work in Johannesburg, they embarked on a return journey. Full-text novels (reading novels) At the transit airport in Sao Paulo, the crew announced the dissolution, and each person returned to their respective homes, and the photography equipment, film productions and other items were naturally responsible for professional and safe shipping. Sao Paulo ’s plane to Los Angeles landed steadily, which was already the morning of Christmas Eve.
In the terminal building of Los Angeles International Airport, accompanied by two bodyguards whose contracts have ended, Wang Yang carried a luggage bag and pulled a suitcase full of gifts and walked outside the terminal hall. There is a Christmas atmosphere everywhere in the terminal. A huge Christmas tree stands in the center of the lobby. The sweet music of "ding ding ding ding ding ding" is playing, and people coming and going are rushing home.
The time in South Africa is less than a month, but Wang Yang knows that this experience will be unforgettable all his life. He has seen with his own eyes many things that he has never seen before, only knowing in books and movies, poverty, gloom, and difficulty; those The locals are full of hostile eyes and skeptical humility; the children's laughter ... Now standing on the land of the "City of Angels", his heart is unspeakable, sighing, rejoicing, grateful ...
But in general, he is very happy now, he can hug and kiss the girl immediately, and return to the sweet home, and there is a rich Christmas dinner in the evening. What a good thing is thinking, Wang Yang suddenly felt his face He was struck by the flash a few times, and suddenly noticed that there were three paparazzi with cameras in front of him, and he kept taking pictures of him.
"Unbelievable" Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know if they were the kind of paparazzi waiting at the airport, or came for him specifically. He sighed with the bodyguards around him: "Isn't it Christmas Eve today? They are really the world The most diligent person in the world. "
At that time, the three paparazzi came up and asked questions while taking photos; this also attracted the attention of many people around. Wang Yang ’s mood is very good, plus the paparazzi are very disciplined, so he shouted to chase away their bodyguards: "Hey, just do n’t bother with them."
"Thank you, I'm Paul." A slightly fat white male paparazzi smiled and asked Wang Yang's pace, "Miracle Yang, how are you filming in South Africa?" Ka Xia snapped. He took another photo, a handsome director in a gray multi-pocket jacket and jeans.
Wang Yang turned his head to look at him and smiled, "Everything is going well." Hearing his willingness to answer, Paul and the three others were happy, and the experience told them that the director is in a good mood. Paul then asked: "We You know, you were filming in the slums of Soweto, what was it for? And it took a month? Is the main plot of the "Ninth District" happening in the slums? Some people guess that the "Ninth District" is a slum ,is it?"
"Regarding the content of the movie, sorry, temporarily confidential" Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, said: "When it is released, you will know when you go to the cinema to see."
If possible, he hopes that the crew ’s trip to Soweto, South Africa, will also be completely confidential; unfortunately, no, so the "ninth district" is guessed to be a slum situation, and the alien ship is coming within the forecast of the publicity plan. The settlement areas of Los Angeles and aliens have become the background of stories such as slums, which will also be revealed in publicity activities.
The participants of the "Alien Research Center" virus website have now reached more than 15 countries and 550,000 people; it is estimated that in two months, they will be able to reach the one million mark; "Aliens' Secrets "The puzzle game on the website was also broken one by one by fans, leading Christopher Fussen to update several blogs about their planetary civilization, how he got on the spaceship, and a meaningful sentence" I think Come back home."
Of the more than 60 English letters, more than 30 have been found by student fans. This activity has made "Ninth District" a hot topic in American schools. Many schools have been searched by students. Made it almost reversed. There are also many students who went to the official website of the flame film to protest, why not hide the letters in their school?
Knowing that Wang Yang would not answer this question, in order not to provoke him, Paul and the other three did not ask any more, but turned to gossip. Paul smiled and asked: "A fellow of Fort York photographed you with two buses The children in the slums of the car went to play and watch movies. You laughed very happily. Now everyone says 'Angelina-Julie and Magic Young, one mom and one dad', what's going on? "
Suddenly Wang Yang looked at Paul with doubts, but he wanted to ask what happened? A reporter from Johannesburg? He took the children to the movies the day before his return trip, and he came to South Africa anyway, so before the crew left, they were accompanied by bodyguards to play and buy gifts in Johannesburg; he stayed with the children. Then I took a plane for a day and then stayed here.
Angelina-Julie? father? He couldn't help but smiled, changed a hand-drawn suitcase, and said: "That's what happened, I took some children who had never seen a movie to a movie." Paul asked curiously: "I Why do you mean? "Wang Yang said doubtfully:" Is there a reason? Because they haven't seen the movie. "Paul snapped the photo again and laughed," You are such a good person, "Wang Yanghe said lightly. Light: "Maybe."
"Can you tell me what movie you are watching?" A thin white paparazzi on the right asked. He smiled and introduced himself: "I am David." Wang Yang nodded and replied: " Why not? We watched "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone." Paul on the left asked again with a smile: "Evaluate this movie?"
Hearing this question, Wang Yang immediately became vigilant and either did not answer, otherwise he could not give them the opportunity to make news. He thought about it and replied with a smile: "There is no doubt that the movie is great for more than 2 hours. We were completely intoxicated." Thinking about "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone" that day, he Words are not polite, if he has children of the right age, he will take them to see.
"There are also those little actors who have performed very well, Daniel Redcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Catherine Wright ..." Wang Yang walked away. On the one hand, the cast of "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone" was chanted. The people next to him, such as Paul and David, slowly opened their mouths in surprise, and did not know whether the name he pronounced was correct, but did he memorize the cast in advance?
After reading a long list of names, looking at the paparazzi's expressions, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Seeing them, I feel that I am old." Paul, who had come back to God, waved and smiled. : "Please, you are only 21 years old" Wang Yang nodded seriously and said, "I can only say that fortunately I am a director."
"This year's Christmas season, your movie is not released, not all year, what do you think?" Paul asked a new question, which is also one of the most frequently mentioned by the media when reviewing and summarizing the history of film in 2001. Happening.
Since 1998, Magic Young has shined for three consecutive years; in the annual North American box office rankings in 2000, 210 million "Junuo" and 203 million "When Happiness Comes to Knock", occupy the first place. The third and fourth positions (the first two are 260 million "Christmas Geek" and 230 million "The Rest of the Desert"); but in 2001, he always withdrew from the stage at high speed, and only had the role of screenwriter "High School Musical 3" .
Looking at the casual Wang Yang, Paul continued to laugh and said: "Last Christmas," Junuo "and" The Rest of the Desert "staged a rare fierce battle; this year the cinema has" The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings " ", Now everyone is crazy about it," Eleven Arhats ", best director Steven Soderbergh," Vanilla Sky "," Beautiful Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat m Heart "... but without you, your fans are very disappointed." He shrugged and said, "A year is going to be over, but you look like you haven't done anything this year. Everyone says that magical Where did Yang go? "
"A lot of things happened." Wang Yang smiled and shook his head. There were too many things happening this year. Unpleasant things happened. Jail, old man Wu died ... And he was busy with "The Ninth District" and "Sweetheart" in the second half of the year. He did n’t even have time to make
Jailbreak
, and could only put it on hold. He smiled and said to Paul and others: "Not in 2002, I will come back"
Paul immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Sounds you are confident? That high-speed magical fan is coming back? Isn't it" Zone 9 ", do you have any other movie plans?"
Other movie plans? Wang Yangjian rolled his eyes with his mouth in his mouth. The special effects rendering of "The Ninth Zone" will take a few months to complete. That is the work of the animators. In addition to providing lens design drawings, requesting and reviewing Outside of the gatekeeper, there is usually no help, and there is a lot of free time. He thought again with a smile and said, "Maybe, maybe not, I don't know."
At this time, when everyone was talking, they had walked out of the terminal and came to the huge parking lot outside. Wang Yang took out his vibrating mobile phone and looked at it, while saying, "Guys, I think your harvest is enough, so Bye bye, Merry Christmas.
Seeing that he was leaving, David no longer asked the gossip question without hesitation:
Why did n’t Jessica come to pick you up, is your relationship wrong?
"Wow, isn't she right there?" Wang Yang looked at the front haha, only to see a slowly moving silver sports car stopped, the door opened, and a hot girl wearing a light blue denim jacket left When she got out of the car, she waved a sweet smile on her side. He glanced back at David several people, wondering: "Or am I wrong? Why did that guy look so much like Jessica? I used to ask at night"
"Goodbye, Jimmy, Jensen" Wang Yang said goodbye to the two bodyguards again, so he ran to the night with a smile, the suitcase pulled Kaka to ring, and smiled with the girl: "Hey girl Is it Jessica? Or her long-lost twins? I can't kiss the wrong person ... "The girl held his neck with both hands and said:" Yang, kiss me "
Paul, David and others all hurriedly raised their telephoto cameras, set them up and pointed them over there, the flash kept on, these photos were the big gains
After the two kissed deeply and briefly, Wang Yang threw the luggage into the car, and stuffed the suitcase into the trunk. He sat in the co-driver's seat and fastened his seat belt while saying, "Beautiful car, "Sweetheart," Jessica started the car with a smile. As soon as she stepped on the accelerator, the sports car slowly turned around, adjusted its direction, and went away.
"It's very hot there. You know South Africa is summer in December. We wear T-shirts there." Wang Yang said, drinking a sip of red wine, looking at Jessica, Cathy, and Joshua next to him across the table. , Mark sitting in the host position, continued to say his impression of Johannesburg: "The city center is very beautiful and prosperous, I feel the sky is particularly blue and very close, those plants and trees are also particularly tough, the unique vitality and charm of Africa ... … "
The spacious dining room is also decorated with a Christmas atmosphere. Danny stood quietly in front of the Christmas tree, looking at the colorful lights hanging on the tree; a rich Christmas dinner was placed on the dining table, and the bright turkey was still the main dish. There are steaks, grilled meats, mashed potatoes and other foods. The Alba family listened with interest to the Fort Johan: "But when you walk out of the city center and come to Soweto, just 10 miles away, you will feel ' Oh my goodness' dirt road, tin house, sewage ... I don't know how to describe it, you will know a little bit later when you watch "The Ninth District". "
He exhaled softly and saw that everyone seemed to frown and suddenly laughed loudly, saying: "Don't talk about these, I know that a person can't change all poverty and pain, you can only do what you can. Things; then as Mark said all day long, thank you for all this "
Jessica and Joshua both nodded and laughed, and Mark and Cathy looked at each other with a smile. Joshua chewed up a piece of beef and asked again, "Dude, are there any interesting footage?"
"Well, I think ... there is." Wang Yang thought a little, then smiled frowningly: "It was an aerial photography, sitting in a helicopter and rumbled around in the air. Someone had been there before. I ’ve told you, you ’re aerial photography like this, be careful of being shot by the following people. There are too many guns in the slums.
He took a sip of wine and smiled:
As a result, after the filming of the scene that day, we got off the plane, we Photographer Harry George suddenly shouted 'Gosh, there is a bullet hole in the fuselage' "
"God, why didn't you tell me?" Jessica's eyes widened in shock, and Mark and Cathy were both puzzled. Only Joshua said enthusiastically: "Bullet holes? It's crazy Wait, it was discovered by the fat guy? It ’s gone, it ’s definitely not a real bullet hole. "
Wang Yang nodded with a smile and looked at Jessica: "Yes, it's actually not a bullet hole, Harry likes to make a fuss." He threw a piece of barbecue into his mouth and smiled: "It's funny now, but At that time, we were really shocked for almost a whole day. We all sat in the cabin door to shoot. If there were really bullets sweeping over, the consequences could not be imagined. "
Jessica rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Of course Yang, this is not an interesting thing. It would be dangerous to think about it." Joshua laughed and interrupted her quickly, "I think it's very interesting, Please, is n’t Jane sitting here properly? What are you nervous about, what is the bullet hole that the fat guy said?
Mark also said seriously:
If the helicopter is hit by a bullet, the pilot should feel the martial arts. The Holy King will kill the God Seal of the Throne in the night and ask the Devil Ao Ninth Heaven to abandon the gods and seals the throne. Mo Ao Jiu Chongtian is the strongest to abandon the Shaozhou Zhou royal family to create a and will kill the God of the Immortal Throne at night.
"Well, our pilot Brandon said the same, how could there be?" Wang Yang laughed and counted his fingers in the left hand; "First, we chose the slum area without gangs, and did well beforehand. Security check; second, Brandon felt nothing, none of us felt; third, we flew so high, haha "
Mark Alba said: "The pistol can shoot 200 meters, the automatic rifle can shoot more than 600 meters ..." Joshua tweeted impatiently and said: "Dad, you will explain later. Yang, that bullet hole What the is it? "Wang Yang shook his head and smiled." It's just that there was a small spot that got stuck in slightly. We analyzed that it might be that the helicopter landed on the ground many times, maybe it was hit by something; maybe it was hit by a camera. It ’s like that. I do n’t know, but it ’s definitely not a bullet. "
"OK, OK" Jessica raised her hands and pressed, glancing at the three of them, praised: "You are cool, you are all cool guys. The next topic, please-"
Joshua glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Yang, why not tell you the story of those children? The picture of you dragging your child into the movie theater is really intoxicating," he said with a rough voice. : "Someone just wanted to say this." Wang Yang and Jessica both smiled suddenly, and Cathy also asked with interest: "Those children were happy that day?"
"Well, they are very happy." Wang Yang nodded, thinking about the situation that day, and smiled: "One of the girls was Aaliyah. She asked me," Is there really magic? Will you? "I said Many people call me Miracle Yang, and I will be this ... "Everyone smiled and continued to listen to the story he told.
