Chapter 29: The way forward

Chicago, a beautiful city in Illinois, can be said to be the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles. This city is the home of the Bulls and the headquarters of Harper, which produces the "Oprah talk show." location. Several people came to Chicago when Wang Yang was invited by Harper to prepare to record an issue of "Oprah Talk Show".
Let ’s not say that Wang Yang has liked this show since he was a child; from a practical point of view, it is very beneficial for him to participate in the current issue of Oprah. Although the "expulsion" incident has now been fully known, the matter is disputed Can't get rid of it temporarily. And his public image is very vague, and he may be portrayed as a "problem boy" by the media at any time. After all, he beats people and fights so hard.
It does n’t matter what Wang Yang does, because he is a director, not a star; he is a filmmaker, and he manipulates the lens, not faces the camera. So he doesn't need to talk about the topic, he doesn't need to be chased by the media, just follow it if he has; as long as everyone knows that he is not a scumbag, he doesn't want to boycott his movie.
However, Lion Gate, especially Jon Phil Timer, who wants to make a good grade and keep the chance of being promoted to the company ’s CEO, he is not willing to miss this best post-film promotion opportunity, despite the screening of Ghost Records 118.5 million box offices have been madly received in four weeks, but the momentum has slowed down slowly, and there is still potential to be tapped. And is there any free way of publicity that is better than the last highest-rated talk show "Oprah Talk Show"?
After getting off the plane, under the arrangement of Jon, Wang Yang and Zachary came to a downtown hotel to stay and announced their dissolution. You can go wherever you like, this is not a summer camp. "Show" was recorded on Wednesday afternoon, and now it is only Monday noon. Jon Filtim went to Harper to discuss the specifics of the talk show, and Zachary went out to play.
He was always very excited about this trip, giggling all by himself all day long, pulling Wang Yang several times and believing in disbelief: "I really want to go to the Oprah talk show?" Wang Yang is one every time His face nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Oprah talk show." Then Zachary twisted happily and performed a little dance: "Oh, my God! My family, my friends are on TV When you see me, you must be crazy! "
So he was in charge of picking up Rachel at O'Hare International Airport at night, and fell on Wang Yang, although he was also the first time to come to Chicago and arrived in the morning. Of course, he didn't have to go, he just had to wait in the hotel, but he couldn't wait to see Rachel.
Sitting on a chair in the waiting hall, Wang Yang observed passing pedestrians, guessing randomly about their background experience, and from time to time looked up at the flight landing message displayed on the electronic screen. After a while, he looked up at the screen again, and Rachel took flight AC5149 and landed safely.
Wang Yang remembered that the night Rachel was going back to Toronto a few months ago, before walking into the boarding gate, she turned and said, "I look forward to seeing our movie in the cinema. At that time, we will see you again!" "Now that the movie has been shown for four weeks, this sentence has not yet been realized; but fortunately, I will see Rachel again soon. Thinking of these, he couldn't help but smile.
After a while, I saw many passengers entering the terminal from the flight landing aisle. They dragged large and small luggage, but they did not look like a servant. Because from Toronto to Chicago, it only takes less than an hour to fly. Rachel bought the ticket to Chicago on Sunday night. At that time, Wang Yang will also arrive from Los Angeles at the same time; but because Wang Yang delayed several people For the itinerary, she had to change the ticket for today.
Wang Yang stood up and looked towards the channel. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful figure. She was wearing a purple jacket and dragging the very small suitcase. Her long blond hair was so smooth and flowing, it was Rachel.
When she saw Wang Yang, she suddenly burst out with a smiley face, and the two dimples were still so sweet. Her steps came quickly, and when she came to Wang Yang, she slowed down again, watching Wang Yang smiled and bit his lip.
"Hi!" Wang Yang smiled at her, he looked up and down at Rachel and smiled, "You look good."
"Really?" Rachel smiled slightly, not knowing why, her heart was beating fast, and Wang Yang was looked over, and said softly: "You look good too." Her hand loosened. In the suitcase, another step forward.
Seeing her like this, Wang Yang spread his hands, stepped forward to gently hug her, gave a hug, and smiled: "Welcome to Chicago, Rachel." Leaning on his shoulder, Rachel Feeling very comfortable, he chuckled lightly: "Thank you, Chicago!"
The two of them lightly hugged each other and separated. Wang Yang helped her take the small suitcase and looked at her and smiled: "Let me come, Toronto beauty." Rachel shrugged and said: "Of course."
Then, the two walked out of the airport with a smile and prepared to go back to the hotel where they stayed. Although I have n’t seen each other for more than four months, Wang Yang and Rachel have no stranger feelings with each other, not only because they often chat on the phone; and the tacit understanding makes them feel very comfortable.
On the second Tuesday, it was still free time. Wang Yang and Rachel planned to go to the Navy Pier, but Zachary refused their invitation with no interest. He was going to a "hip hop sanctuary" in Chicago, a bar Play; then they invited Jon Filtim, and Jon smiled and said, "I still have to work, a lot of things are waiting for me to deal with it, and I wo n’t go. Hey, and the two of you are dating, I What are you going to do? "
Knew that Jon was deliberately making fun of them, and neither Wang Yang nor Rachel rolled his eyes with a smile.
There are many tourist attractions in Chicago, Navy Pier is one of them, there is not only one pier, there are parks, shops, museums and other sightseeing facilities on the pier.
Wang Yang and Rachel went to the museum and went to the art center to watch many treasures, including some rare famous paintings. Below an oil painting by Picasso, Wang Yang said to Rachel: "Rachel, do you know? My high school art teacher always said that I have the potential to become an outstanding painter." Rachel suddenly said with a surprised face. : "Wow, a painter? Like Picasso?" Wang Yang looked serious: "No, like Van Gogh."
Rachel smiled: "It's not bad like Van Gogh." Wang Yang said seriously: "Well, my teacher thinks so too, he said: 'Yang, your painting is too incredible, too much ahead of this era, It's like Van Gogh. At my level, I can't appreciate it. '"He suddenly changed his tone, learning the art teacher's angry look, and asked with wide eyes:"' Really, what are you painting? ! This is an apple? How is it like an ass? '"
"Oh! God ... haha!" Rachel was suddenly amused by her, and her face turned red with a smile. She beat Wang Yang and smiled and scolded: "God! You are too vulgar, you hate ghost! "Wang Yang pretended to be innocent:" It's not me, it was my teacher who said that he caused me to have "apple phobia". I will feel dizzy as soon as I see an apple, and I am also a victim. "Rachel smiled He gave him a glance.
Played for most of the day, now they came to the shore of Navy Pier, leaning on the railing, blowing the breeze from Lake Michigan, looking at the blue sky, the blue lake, all this is so beautiful.
Wang Yang and Rachel looked at each other and both smiled slightly. Rachel pulled back her hair that was blown by the wind, narrowed her eyes, and sighed: "It's really charming here. A few months ago, I didn't think I would be here now." Wang Yang also said: "Well, I ca n’t think of it either.
Rachel looked at him suddenly and asked a little strangely:
Yang, I ’ve actually played a movie with over 100 million box office? Or the heroine?

Wang Yang nodded with a smile, and said, "Hey, Rachel, you are really like Zachary. He also asked this all day. Of course, he asked the actor."
"Oh! But Yang, you can't blame us." Rachel looked at the blue sky with white clouds and shook her head incredulously. "This is just too crazy." She smiled and complained to Wang Yang suddenly. Dao: "You don't know, I've been annoyed recently. On the way to the community, many people will yell 'Oh my God, Meier!', 'She really didn't die ...'" She smiled helplessly: "You know, the school is about to start, I dare not imagine it, the students must treat me like a monster."
"Oh, you can't blame me for this." Wang Yang said with a smile, he remembered the purpose of Rachel before going to Los Angeles, because he hadn't been busy for a while, he never asked, and now he remembers And asked, "Oh, Rachel, how is your semester paper? How are you?"
Rachel nodded and replied to him: "It's ok, qualified. The teacher gave me good comments. He said that my ideas are very unique and I understand the movie very well. Ha! He didn't know, there are many in the paper The arguments are all from you. "Wang Yang shrugged and said," That's the essay you wrote yourself. "She pouted again and said," But, my classmates are still very stubborn, I tell those Then they said, 'Oh, anyway, the golden age of song and dance films has passed. It's like this, it's half dead. Now no one even sees "The Prodigal Son" and "Lightning Dance". "," Rachel , Don't be naive '... "
She looked at Wang Yang helplessly and said casually: "I sometimes think that if someone makes a popular song and dance film, they will know who is right and who is wrong." She shrugged and added Sentence: "I will also know."
"Maybe I shot one?" Wang Yang laughed at her with a smile. Rachel smiled and said, "Wow, that's fine! Then I can tell them, see it, it's okay!"
Maybe I shot one? This blurted out words suddenly made Wang Yang feel a little moved. He looked at the deep blue lake and pondered seriously. He has been thinking recently, what will he do next after the screening of "Ghost Record"?
Go back to San Francisco to cook? That's impossible; go back to NUS to continue studying? This idea also made him shake his head. It was n’t that he hated Nanda. He just learned the theoretical knowledge of film and television production and directors ’professional studies. He had already learned almost himself; while making movies, what ’s more important is practical experience and practical ability. Those things It is impossible to get in the theoretical classroom, and it is also difficult to compare with the campus practical class.
This is why, after graduation from college students, most people still start as assistants, in fact they are familiar with the actual operation of making movies; there are also famous directors who are not from the film, like James Cameron, they are all Starting with the work associated with the movie, while learning the shooting operation, waiting for the opportunity. Therefore, it is better to go directly to Nanda University to study directly in film production.
Wang Yang knew that there was only one way he was most willing to go, and that was to shoot the next movie. But what? It is impossible to make DV movies anymore. First, DV movies and film movies are completely different. Film movies are his biggest pursuit. He wants to let himself grow in this respect. Second, the market needs time to digest "Ghost Shadow" The madness of Memoir is that in the short term, it is impossible for another DV movie to succeed on the big screen, even if it is done well.
Look at the original "Witch Blair", which staged a miracle in 1999; another 10 years later, "Smart and Ghost Record" appeared in 2009, and "Witch Blair 2" encountered Waterloo as proof. It's not that there are no outstanding DV movies in the middle, but that the market has been overdrawn. The first time, people feel fresh; but the second time, they won't play with you. So Wang Yang didn't plan to make DV movies anymore, he saw the film movies.
So, if you make a film movie, what is a big commercial? Not suitable for him. First of all, commercial blockbusters have to burn money. The more they are willing to burn, the more they carelessly burn, so that the director can make good movies. If they shrink their hands for the sake of cost, it will only cause the situation of the movie "not addictive". I still haven't got enough of it, I want to watch it again; instead, I feel depressed and wasted time, and they will send the curse to that movie mercilessly.
He is not enough in terms of funds, but more importantly, he is too lacking in actual shooting experience. He will not be an idiot to think that he has taken some practical lessons and thought that he used DV to shoot "Ghost Record" and he can easily play around with this. The world is done with everything.
Make a regular movie. Before the filming begins, the formation of the crew must be completed, including the employment of personnel, the audition of actors, and the contact of the shooting venue.
Although many of these jobs are left to the producer to do, he wants to be a producer. The production of a movie includes these jobs and he wants to experience; in addition, he does not want to be opposed by the producer. He points his finger at himself. He makes movies and shoots as much as he likes, without being at the mercy of others. This is the spirit of independent movies. He loves this.
In the director's job, when shooting a film, he will definitely deal with various film production equipment, including photographic equipment, lighting equipment, recording equipment, etc .; he also directs the entire crew of more than one hundred people to ensure that the crew can work normally. Operation.
Whether it is the job of a producer or a director, when he leaves the campus, his experience is close to zero. He is almost a layman. He has to enter the door first, but if he enters, it is a big investment. Movie, he is likely to screw up.
The commercial blockbuster is not suitable for him at the moment, so come a drama with no special effects and no post-production? Will some big stars play? The question is, what superstars with great acting skills will join an 18-year-old director's drama?
That ’s right, he ’s successful now, he ’s so beautiful now, many media say he is a
supernova
and
promising future
; but the fact is that even Lionsgate thinks he ’s just a lucky man, Jon-Philippe Altimer told him a few days ago: "Yang, our company intends to shoot the sequel of" Smart and Ghost Record ", we will probably pay you a million copyright fees, you think about it first, the company has not yet Set up the project. In addition, the director of the sequel will not be you. "
Wang Yang knew that Jon had a sentence to say at the time, that is, "I think you should go back to Nanda to study first!"
This is not surprising, look at the three young creators of "The Witch Blair". The information in my head shows that the three young people were also shocked across the United States at that time. Because they were "mainstream people", the media's pursuit of them was much more crazy than they are now. Not only were they interviewed everywhere, the two were only 30 years old. With the 35-year-old directors Edvardo Sanchez and Daniel Merrickdon, they also appeared on the cover of Time Weekly, and became a darling of the United States for a time.
But what happened to them later? Is the future promising? No, not only did they not achieve anything.
After the success of "Witch Blair", in the first two years, all their energy was used to fight the lawsuit with the artisan company. "Witch Blair 2" released in 2000 has nothing to do with them. The sequel copyright has long been in Started packing and selling to artisans. Later, the lawsuit won, and the two directors wanted to make a comedy film, but the investors insisted that they continue to make horror films. They did not follow, and were unwilling to invest in themselves. Finally, the filming plan was still dead.
After a few more years, the two directors began to make new movies one after another, but both ended in box office failure. In the end, no one remembered the two young people who had been on the cover of Time Weekly. No one remembered the praises they gave to them, and their names faded over time.
When you succeed, you break out of the cocoon, showing your beauty to the world, everyone is praising you, you think you have the world; but if you do n’t understand your situation, you will be lost, You will fly farther and farther, and eventually find no way to return home, and then fall down exhausted, picked up by someone, and combined into a book to make a specimen. Occasionally the book will be opened, the reader will say, wow, this is really a beautiful butterfly, it must be beautiful when it used to fly! Then the book is closed and you are nothing.
This is the cruel reality, there are too many beautiful butterflies in the world, come in a hurry, and go in a hurry. He is only one of them flying higher now, and if there is no self-knowledge, he will not get better than the director of "The Witch Blair".
Still have to choose some low-cost, low-tech difficulty movies, first let yourself be familiar with what is going on in the movie. So what film? He has no idea, but he tends to like campus comedy and the like.
Why not make a horror movie? For horror movies, he lacks passion and impulse. He has always been afraid of watching horror movies. When shooting Ghost Records, he still has nightmares every night, and it is uncomfortable to wake up in the middle of the night; in addition, he wants to continue Working with Rachel and Zachary and also wanting Jessica to star in his movie, he knows that Jessica has been looking forward to this.
He hopes to be able to make movies with these good friends happily, and hopes that these good friends will become famous as soon as possible and enjoy their own success. So he wanted to make a film that was suitable for him and suitable for these good friends. Campus films seemed to be the best choice, and campus songs and dances? It sounds pretty good……
Seeing that Wang Yang hadn't spoken for a long time, Rachel seemed to be thinking about something, so he touched his elbow on the railing and asked with a frown, "Yang, what's wrong?"
Wang Yang's "Oh" responded, shaking his head and thinking, looking at her and laughing: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what kind of song and dance film I want to make?"
"What?" Rachel stunned. She smiled and thought he was joking, but when he saw him seriously, she couldn't help but brighten her eyes, surprised: "Oh, are you serious?"
Wang Yang nodded and said, "Of course, I'm serious. Why not?" He seemed to be asking himself, and he asked again and again: "Why not?"
Rachel suddenly hesitated and said: "But now the situation of the song and dance movie ... I am afraid it is not easy to shoot." She looked at Wang Yang and gave her advice seriously, saying: "Yang, you know, your next movie The movie is very important, it affects your future, so you should not make decisions lightly. "
"I know, Rachel." Wang Yang smiled and took a deep breath against the wind, which revitalized him. Although the song and dance films and campus song and dance films are quiet for a long time, they will soon wake up and burn their own blazing fire, so now it is also suitable for him to light this fire. He saw Rachel brewing what he had to say, then he threw his fists heavily, and said fiercely: "Hey, do n’t worry about that much! You have said that, I gave you many of the arguments in your paper, So I want to make a name for us, so that your classmates ca n’t speak, right? "
Rachel was amused by his appearance and smiled a few times, shrugging: "That was a paper I wrote myself." She knew that Wang Yang seemed determined, and asked with interest: "So, Yang, you Do you have any plans? "
Wang Yang shook his head and looked like "I don't know", and said: "There is no plan for the time being, but I'm serious, I will shoot, this is my next movie." Rachel nodded and smiled, "OK, Then I look forward to it. At that time, if there is a suitable role, I will go to your movie audition. "Wang Yang laughed:" You will. "
The two spent a day at the Navy Pier, and at the request of Rachel at night, they went to a movie theater to watch a "Spirit-Ghost Record" and returned to the hotel in the middle of the night.
Because of this issue of "Oprah Talk Show", Wang Yang is not required to participate in shooting some location images, so on the afternoon of the next day, they came to the recording site to record directly.
In the background of the recording scene, Wang Yang, Rachel, Zachary and Jon Filtimel are all present, and later Wang Yang will be the first to play; when it comes to the part of making the film, Rachel and Zachary Play again; Jon Filtimer will not go out until the Lionsgate release, the most successful part.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my ..." Zachary-Levi walked nervously, tidying up his black suit from time to time, he was shining with hair spray and leather shoes, and he was grand It seemed like preparing to attend the wedding as a groom.
Wang Yang looked at him restlessly and laughed, "Hey, Zachary, relax! I'm the first one to play. I'm here when I'm nervous." He wasn't dressed as formal, just one. A young gray-blue trench coat and a pair of jeans. Although Oprah Talk Show is not a hilarious type of talk show, he still doesn't think he needs to be so serious.
Rachel gave Zakari an understanding look and said, "Seriously, I'm also a little nervous. This is my first time on a talk show. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to say anything later." She Wearing that purple jacket, inside is a white-blue checkered shirt, a pair of black slacks, very elegantly dressed, without the terrifying atmosphere of "Meier" at all.
Jon, who also wore a black suit, sat on a chair, holding his chest and legs, and smiled easily: "Why didn't I feel nervous?" Wang Yang all rolled his eyes and agreed on this middle-aged man in unison. The man took ignoring measures.
At this time, on the outside recording scene, a set of sofas was placed on the stage, and Oprah Winfrey in a yellow sweater sat on it; and at least more than fifty spectators sat under the stage. At the photographer ’s signal, the show began to record. Oprah Winfrey looked at the camera and smiled:
This is Oprah, I want to talk to you today, when a young man gets a huge Success, what would he think, how would he face? How much impact does this have on his life? How should young people face success? "She finished her topic today and waved her hand:" Let ’s see today Invited guests. "
Oprah's talk shows generally revolve around a topic to discuss with the audience, and today is an interview with Wang Yang to discuss the topic "how do young people face success".
On the back large screen showing the "Oprah talk show" logo, some images were suddenly played, with pictures of Chinatown in San Francisco and the bright night scene of Los Angeles. The voice of the narration was introduced, and he said: "He created a miracle. He used 10,000 US dollars to shoot a movie with a box office of more than 100 million yuan. He is 18 years old, he is the youngest director, he is the youngest 100 million box office director ..."
"Yes, he is Wang Yang!" Oprah shouted and smiled: "Welcome him! Yang, come out."
Wang Yang walked out of the backstage channel with a smile on his face. There was a burst of applause at the scene. The audience was mostly young people. They applauded enthusiastically and called Wang Yang's name. Wang Yang smiled and waved to the audience under the stage. He walked to the sofa in the middle of the stage and sat down. He shook hands with Oprah and smiled, "Hello, Oprah."
"Hello, Yang." Oprah smiled heartily, and immediately said: "Yang, you are amazing. You made a movie with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, and now the box office continues to increase. "Wang Yang listened to her with a smile, and Oprah asked:" So, I heard that you have loved movies since childhood? "She asked this question, which meant to let Wang Yang talk about her childhood and growth. Too.
Wang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I have loved movies since I was a child. When I was four years old, I first walked into the cinema. At that time my mother took me to see" Emerald ", Yes, the work of Robert Zemigis (Director of Forrest Gump). I did n’t know what a movie was then ... "He recalled the scene at that time, the picture was very blurry, but he clearly remembered his time The mood, said: "I just looked at the screen, I thought, wow, the people inside are big! Are they giants?" There was a soft laughter suddenly at the scene, Wang Yang smiled and said: "That's it, I I'm hooked on movies, and every week, I will ask my mother to take me to the cinema until I can. "
Oprah said: "So, you grew up in a movie." She asked again: "When did you get the idea of" I want to make a movie "?"
Wang Yang frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "When was the earliest time I forgot, but what made me determined was to watch" Paradise Cinema ", which is my favorite ..."
……
Finished the "Oprah talk show" on Wednesday, Wang Yang and several others returned to Los Angeles that night, and Rachel also followed, and did not return to Toronto, because they all cooperate with some of Lionsgate ’s later promotional activities. The Oprah talk show they recorded was broadcast on time during the day on the weekend of this week, and can be watched by families in more than 100 cities across the United States.
On the TV screen, Wang Yang, Rachel and Zachary were sitting on the sofa. Oprah kept asking them questions, triggering their mentality of telling their experiences and so on. Oprah asked Wang Yang again: "Yang, I'm curious. Before you made this movie, what were you thinking? Have you ever thought that this movie will be so successful?"
Wang Yang leaned on the sofa and smiled and said, "No, I dare not think so much, I didn't think about 'Will this movie succeed, will it fail?' At that time, you always thought about these, You will lose your motivation. "
Looking at Wang Yang on the screen talking and laughing freely, Jessica sitting on the fabric sofa hugged the pillow with both hands and a sweet smile, she was fascinated. She found this issue of "Oprah" particularly beautiful, Especially interesting.
Joshua sitting next to her stretched out her hand, quietly doing a thumping motion behind her head, but Jessica was unresponsive and still looking at the screen with a smile, Joshua looked at the mother on the other side Kai Qian, pouted, a look of "see it". Cathy smiled and gave him a "don't care" look.
At this time, the screen Leopula asked Rachel: "Rachel, I know you were traveling to Los Angeles at that time, why did you suddenly decide to perform this movie?"
Although Rachel was a little nervous in the background at the time, she looked calm and exposed two dimples at the time, laughing: "I saw Yang ’s recruitment poster that day, I was very interested in DV movies, so I just I went to the audition with a try mentality, and luckily passed. At first, I just thought that the movie was Yang's graduation work, and then he said, 'This is a movie that can be put on the big screen, and the box office It would be good. '"She glanced at Wang Yang, shrugged at Oprah, and said with a smile:" But seriously, at that time I just thought that this guy was crazy. "
"Hey!" Wang Yang pretended to shoot Rachel's head angrily, and said in surprise: "You didn't say that at that time, you said 'I appreciate your confidence', but some people just think I'm crazy?" Rachel nodded with a smile: "Yes, now you know."
The whole audience was amused by them.
Looked at Wang Yang and Rachel who were smiling on the screen and were about to fight on the spot. Jessica hugged the pillow tightly and kept a forced smile on her face, staring at the TV a bit dull. If she starred in "The Ghost Story", it would be her who laughed with Yang on the screen. Yang said that she was not suitable for horror movies. In other words, didn't she say that her acting was not good?
"Wow, Yang and Rachel really match." Joshua next to him intentionally said aloud, paying attention to Jessica's reaction.
"Yeah!" Jessica adjusted her sitting posture unnaturally, and said something indifferently, but she clenched her teeth quietly, determinedly, that in the next movie, she must join, even if it was the crowd Actor, she will act too! She can't let herself miss it again, she can't ...
At this time, Oprah on the screen smiled and dissuaded Wang Yang and Rachel from the "conflict". She asked Wang Yang again: "What made you decide to make this movie? I know that you only have 110,000 left at that time. Thousands of dollars, you took 10,000 yuan to make a movie, haven't you thought about the result of failure? "
"After being expelled from Nanda, I was very frustrated. I didn't know what to do next." Wang Yang said calmly, then said with a very surprised expression: "Then, I actually separated from a A good elementary school classmate reunited. When she was a child, she knew what I wanted to be a director. That day she asked me, "Is your dream still there?" "
"Oh, my God!" Wang Yang exclaimed exclaimed: "Her words pierced my heart like a knife. For a few seconds, I felt like I had no heartbeat. When I recovered my heartbeat, I asked myself again. , Is your dream still there? What on earth do you want to do? I answered myself, I wanted to make a movie. So, I made up my mind that even if I sleep on the street, I would make the movie. No matter success or failure, this is all It was an opportunity. "He smiled and looked at the camera and waved:" Hi, my friend, thank you! "
With his words, the audience at the scene applauded. Jessica in front of the TV screen, suddenly refreshed, stood straight on the sofa, and excitedly left and right to Cathy and Joshua: "Have you heard? Yang is talking about me, haha!"
"See it." Joshua looked at her mother and whispered with a shrug.
Looking at the sweet smile, Jessica stared at the screen again, Cathy smiled a little helplessly, her daughter really grew up.
……
A McDonald's in Los Angeles, the restaurant's TV is also showing "Oprah talk show", because it is daytime, and it is not a meal time, so there are not many customers, employees have free time to watch TV.
Cashier Smith-Shawn sat behind the counter, looking at the TV screen, envious and jealously said: "Yang is rich, look at that beautiful woman, Rachel McAdams? At first glance, they know they've gotten together Oh my god, what luck did he take away? He was like us! "He sighed again:" Whoever believes that, the kid actually did here for us for almost two months. I knew I wanted him then I signed it, maybe I can sell it now. "
Big fat man Harry-George looked at the TV, silently did not speak, his heart kept echoing Wang Yang's voice, "How many crew did you go to try your luck?", "Man, I tell you, I I went to fifty-four film companies, and immediately it was fifty-five. "," My dream will not die. "Harry looked at the smiling Wang Yang on the screen and slowly clenched his fists, his expression indifferent. : "Smith, Jan is different from us ..."
"Success is not inevitable, it requires your persistence, your efforts, I do not deny that you need some luck, but if you give up soon, luck will not come to you." Oprah asked Wang Yang shared his thoughts on "how to succeed", and he continued: "I was discouraged, frustrated, and even thought of giving up while I was seeking release for the movie. I remembered my original intention again, and then I continued to persevere. When you want to give up, you may wish to calm down and think about your original intention, if you really like it, you will continue to go, the road is on Under your feet. "
"So what do you think your future path will be? You know, UU reading www.uukannshu.com you are too young, and you will immediately be able to share huge amounts of money. There are too many temptations in this world, can you Keep your original intention? "Oprah asked Wang Yang, these questions are the main content of today's talk show, how do young people face success.
Wang Yang nodded and said: "Yes, I will continue to go on. I will continue to make movies, it is my pursuit, it is my dream, it is something I have identified in my life."
There was applause from the audience at the scene, and Harry George's fist in front of the screen was tighter and tighter, "Man, I see through.", "You will fail, we are such a person, loser!", "Fail!" Failed! Failed! "Harry looked around the face blankly, why was he here? What was his original intention? A McDonald's waiter? Why Yang's dream will not die, his dream will die! ? Doesn't he really like photography, like movies! ?
"Fuck!" Harry George suddenly pulled the McDonald's hat off his head and threw it on the ground. His feet stepped on it fiercely. His lips twitched and shouted: "Damn, damn! Damn, ... … "
"Harry !? Are you crazy?" Smith-Shawn was shocked, and the customers in the store were stunned, looking at Harry-George suddenly like crazy.
Harry glared at Smith-Shawn and gritted his teeth: "I won't do it! How many hamburgers were sold yesterday, how many chicken wings were sold today, what's the matter with me!" He stepped on the hat on the ground again , Angrily walked outside the shop, said: "I'm not doing it!"
Smith-Shawn laughed, and shouted to Harry: "Fat, you will come back."
"I won't come back!" Harry George walked out of the shop door without looking back.
