Chapter 452: Leading Oscar

"I can't understand why" Firefly "didn't get the best cast award. It has great characters and great performances. We have so many classic screen characters! Is it just because it is a science fiction movie?" Shan-C Say very disappointedly; "My God! This is a sad result, there will be no better cast than" Firefly ", they should win the prize!" Lukas-Z is also very dissatisfied; "Mal and Tornado are The sexiest man in the history of science fiction movies, I love them! HEHE. "Sarah-J said so ...
The 12th Actors ’Union Awards announced on the 29th was controversial. It was precisely because of the dispute that the annual award for the best cast in the film category was not awarded to the most popular" Firefly ", according to the public opinion of Yahoo Entertainment. Only 16% of the people who voted were satisfied with "Good Night, Good Luck", and 55% haven't watched the movie; another survey shows that 67% of the majority of people think that "Firefly" should Awarded.
But these are facts that cannot be changed. Fans can only be disappointed. There was also an incident at the awards ceremony. The home prodigy Heath Ledger, who had been criticized by the media before and was now magically promoted, was in trouble again. He and Jack Gyllenhaal introduced " "Broken Mountain" suddenly smirked. Although the atmosphere at the Shenlan Exhibition Center was good at the time, the "Los Angeles Times" accused him of disrespect the next day: "When introducing a subject with such a sensitive sense and story In such a serious movie, what did Laughing laugh about to say? Does this guy know what kind of movie he played? ... "
"I'm sorry, that's not malicious." The relationship between Heath Ledger and the media has always been not good. He is a famous thorn, and even after convergence, he often looks like a child, but this time he is honest. Admitting the mistake, Ledger issued a statement saying: "At that time, I did not think of something interesting, nor did I disrespect" Broken Mountain ". In my heart, it is a real movie, otherwise I will not accept the contract. Obviously I did not With my miraculous demeanor and talent, I just accidentally made something wrong. "
Is this still the Australian spike? The masses of the media are quite surprised, especially the fans of Ledger ’s fans. When did you admit your mistakes before? And it also implies that you made a mistake because you are not suitable for the stage award ceremony? The proud Ledger actually lowered his head.
"Heath created an atmosphere in an inappropriate way at an inappropriate time, but I knew he was not malicious. I know he paid too much for Brokeback Mountain, so we can see his genius performance." Wang Yang He expressed his support for Ledger to the Los Angeles Times. He was very clear that Heath was really uncomfortable to the point of gaffe. The guy even seemed to be a fool even in ordinary media interviews, on the SAG stage. The appearance is normal.
Heath Ledger took the initiative to apologize, and Miracle Young took the initiative to lend a helping hand, so this incident did not cause any waves.
January 29 is also the day of the closing of this year's Sundance Film Festival. "Chengdu Ren Li" won the grand prize in the drama jury, and "Million Kills" won the world jury grand prize in the drama category, setting a transaction price record "Sunshine Beauty" and "Magic" did not take away any awards. However, Wang Yang and the members of the flame film knew that this trip to Sundance was really a bumper harvest! Films such as "Old Friends Have Money", "Alpha Dog", "Sleep Science", "Midnight Audience" have all found distributors, and X Fox, Warner Independent, Miramax and other filmmakers have also returned home with satisfaction In the next year, the world will know who is the big winner.
Wang Yang's family went to San Diego to continue to marry Zhou Zhou when they were young and honeymoon. In this vacation, the scenic beach, golf course, Guojiajia Forest Park and other places have left two people and strollers. Footprint.
Of course, there is always a zoo full of rare birds and animals, but no matter how large the scale is, there is no figure of ancient animals, except for a beautiful movie poster posted in the bathroom, restaurant and other places: "e-Age: Dawn-of-the-saurs ", A squirrel with wide eyes stared innocently at the tourists. "Ice Age 3" will be released worldwide in April. No one doubts whether it can achieve good results. At least Flame & Blue Sky is convinced. The best proof is that the production of "Ice Age 4" is on the agenda.
This sequel will continue to be created by the original team "IA Team". Due to the normal change in creation, only Michael Borg (IA3) and Mike Rees (IA1, IA3) continue to remain as screenwriters; Steve Ma Tino (IA3 Art Design), Mike Termeer (IA1 screenwriter, IA3 co-director) will be promoted to co-director. Before that, Martino also had the experience of directing short squirrels. People have full confidence and agreed to the blue sky plan without any consideration, so the preparation of the "IA4" system is as bright as ever.
But after all, the team underwent a major exchange of blood, and the two veterans Chris Wedge and Carlos Chardanha have all left the team. This is another female director's screen work, so the production time of "IA4" Need more patience, Flame & Blue Sky initially set its release date for the 2009 summer vacation.
It's time to start a new animation plan! As early as last fall, Wang Yang, Mark Srant, Chris Wedge and other heads had discussed this topic. It is inevitable to start a new animation. What is the theme story? Chris Wedge is still very interested in robots, especially after having a conversation with William Joyce, a children's book writer and illustrator a few years ago, they were talking about calling Joyce's "Santa Claus Call" 》 Adapted into an animation, but the brainstormed a story about the robot,
This is a fantasy robot world. Robots are equivalent to humans, working, living, and chasing the same; this is another hierarchical society. The level of robots depends on the materials of manufacture, and the hero, made of copper. Deney is the most humble, Rodney is not inferior, he thinks he has the brain of the inventor ...
In fact, this story is not a novelty. The ordinary life of ordinary teenagers and even wasteful teenagers has changed. Incarnate heroes defeat bad guys, and at the same time harvest old traditions such as love and friendship. However, it is the so-called new bottles of old wine. Bottles, such as "Kung Fu Panda." Regardless of whether it is good or bad, "Robot World" is a highly malleable bottle, which can be filled with all kinds of imagination and whimsy. Wedge and Joyce have made it into the "new" Toy Story ". Ambition.
48-year-old William Joyce is one of the conceptualists and artistic design of "Toy Story" and "Bugs and Bugs Agents". In addition, last year, he and the reel effect company jointly established Rth. Entertainment to produce cartoons, video games and books, it was announced in one fell swoop to make three cartoons "Guardian of Childhood", "The-ans", "Dinosaur B and his Adventures and Family", but as of now So far, they have not realized, and there is no action to achieve.
Joyce's most nervous is "Robot" (Robot Adventures). First of all, the finances of Flame & Blue Sky have nothing to do with him. If "Robot" is successful, he can make a name for himself and become more familiar with the production affairs, because he is The film producer and art director are under the premise of the production of "Robot".
"Interesting, we want to have fun!" At that time, the script had already been drafted. Wang Yang believed that the theme of the youth inspirational story is no problem. The bottle in the robot world is also very beautiful. The assembly-line script is too lacking in surprise and emotion. It's too old-fashioned to make people excited, some jokes are even boring, why start with a mess? "Cute, we want to be cute!" On the other hand, he was very dissatisfied with the initial design, neither cute nor cool. What on earth did he want? Can't help asking: "Chris, William, do you really think kids will like it?"
If it is okay to say on other topics, youth inspiration is like a youth campus song and dance movie. Humanoid robots have more emphasis on the substitution of human aesthetics. Those robots are like protagonists. Who would like the protagonist of youth movies to be mediocre people? Not cool! And now that it's ugly, posters will discourage young people.
Wang Yang also knows that the original Fox & Blue Sky 2005 version of "Robot Adventure" only had 260 million global box office (128 million in North America), which is equivalent to the 75 million system fee, plus the income of DVD and VHS, it is considered sloppy cost recovery; rotten tomato three The indicator ⑥ 4% / 69% / 60% was barely qualified, which led Fox & Blue Sky to dare not launch the sequel again, and the problems of the script and the person set up killed the novel world.
Of course, he doesn't want the Flame & Blue Sky version to reap this fruit, and it is their style to applaud selling, so he must solve two major problems. In terms of modifying the script, he gave some opinions and ideas; as for humanoids, what makes them cute or cool? Wang Yang did not know that he was not an art design or an art director. At that time, he was busy with the work of "500 Days with Shamo" and had little time to discuss. The setting of Pixar's "Car Story" released in the summer of 2006 was cute, anyway. Without seeing a satisfactory script and design, he would not agree to make "Robot Adventure".
Because Wang Yang is not an art design and art director, even if he is a magic Yang, William Joyce is still very unconvinced by this, ugly? rigid? obsolete? He doesn't think so. Chris Wedge is a centrist. He thinks the problem is not so serious, but it is also right to keep improving. However, film creation is sometimes a subjective matter. There is no standard for setting beautiful people or not. Cool ...? This project is still at a standstill.
Nonetheless, there is another consensus project in Flame & Blue Sky, animal cartoons! Wang Yang, Wedge, and others all hope to continue to take advantage of the blue sky. If you know the technology of animal fur mapping, even Pixar can't compare with the blue sky; and the blue sky's ace Brazilian director Carlos Saldanha ( IA1, IA2, IA3) Where is the next stop after completing "IA3"? No matter where he is, he will be the director of the new animation, because this is the project he initiated.

Wang Yang came out of the bedroom with his hands on his shoulders, and he smiled happily: "I have heard all of them, which is really delightful. But ... did you forget something?" Jessie Ka endured the excitement and pretended to blink with doubt: "What?" Wang Yang smiled and hinted: "I'm angry." Jessica smirked oh, "Oh, I'll remember the day when I got married! I certainly remember Well, what about then? "
"What do you say?" Wang Yang reached out her right hand and stroked her face, suddenly turned around quickly, and really turned a rose into a magic flower. He smiled and said: "Send it to you."
"Wow!" Jessica took the rose in surprise and sniffed the fragrance of the flower, quickly asked: "When did you learn?" Wang Yang shrugged and said, "I'm a magician," and he dialed into her ear. After a while, Jessica picked it up. She took two bright red roses and took a deep breath. Her eyes were full of love. "Is there any more?" Wang Yang haha. "Guess "Here," he suddenly turned a lily into his left hand again, and Jessica couldn't help feeling: "Wow--"
