The Best Director-Chapter 515 - Our Best Director

Chapter 515: Chapter 515 Our Best Director

This year’s seventh Flame Film, “Step Up 3D,” landed in 2,545 North American cinemas on October 12. It only garnered a 35/35% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes but had an 82% approval rating from audiences, taking the weekend crown with a $27.83 million debut. Since its production cost was just $15 million and the Step-Up brand is very popular overseas, Flame Film was not worried about its box office performance. A steady production of “Step Up 4” is on course, with Jon M. Chu continuing as the director.

The early morning sky was clear and peaceful, and on the forest path, golden leaves fluttered down, adding a unique romantic touch to autumn. Rachel rode her bicycle leisurely along, the cool breeze lifting the tendrils of hair by her forehead, making her smiling face look even sweeter. She hummed a song softly, relishing the crisp morning air.

In Wang Yang’s Los Angeles home, the bathroom area was filled with a tense atmosphere. On the spacious corridor, Keke was carefully brushing the teeth of her little white bear doll. Wang Yang gazed intently at the closed door, and after a while, a voice finally called out, “Yang, come in!”

“How is it? How is it?” Wang Yang hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, to find Jessica shaking a pregnancy test, beckoning him over, “Let’s look together.” Although they were not as panicked as the last time, the same excitement and tension was present. With rapidly beating hearts, they looked together at the pregnancy test window, “It worked!” “YEAH!!”

She was pregnant again! A second baby! “Hahaha!” They laughed and hugged each other tightly, and he lifted her and spun her around, kissing her lips fervently. After several kisses, they continued to laugh and shout joyously, saying things only they could understand!

“…” Keke quietly watched them dance and jump around for a while; she was already accustomed to her parents’ frequent displays of affection. She lowered her head and continued brushing the little white bear’s teeth because not brushing would mean bugs.

...

Then, the two approached Keke. Jessica bent down, looking at her with a knee pressed to the floor and a sweet smile, “Baby, you’re going to have a little sister or brother.” Wang Yang lifted Keke into his arms and gently kissed her cheek, “Maybe both.” At those words, Jessica’s smile brightened even more, and Keke suddenly became excited, asking repeatedly, “Where, where?” Jessica patted her flat belly, “Right here, just like you once were.” Thinking of something, Keke burst into uncontrollable laughter, “She was swallowed by mommy too!”

“No, hahaha!” “It’s not like that… haha.” Wang Yang and Jessica couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and they didn’t bother to explain. A baby has its own understanding. Wang Yang smiled and asked, “Keke, don’t you want to touch the baby?” Jessica lifted her shirt, and Keke immediately reached out her chubby little hands toward her mother’s belly…

Time flies, and in what seemed like a blink of an eye, the eighth Flame Film of the year, “Saw 5,” comfortably secured the weekly crown from October 26 to November 1. This horror flick was highly anticipated by SAW fans because it was directed by the beautiful Nancy Reno! But those who doubted her initially don’t say that anymore, following a gorgeous comeback!

Although its opening weekend gross of $40.58 million (across 3,125 cinemas, averaging $12,985 per cinema) was lower than “Saw IV,” it was because the previous installment was already on a downward trend. However, “Saw 5” managed to turn the tide! It received a 40/42% freshness rating, pulling the SAW series back to the pinnacle of its critical standing, a notable feat considering “Saw IV” only had 16/0% and 79%. More importantly, the audience’s approval rating bounced back to 84%, signaling a return to an upward trajectory!

“I originally thought ‘Saw 5’ would be a disaster and that Flame Film would end the series with it. But it wasn’t, wow! This is the best installment since ‘Saw I,’ and now I realize just how right FF was to let Nancy Reno take over the SAW franchise,” DreamExtractor gave it a full five stars; “I saw something special, really good! A cleverly thrilling story, heart-pounding tortures, excellent acting, and an intriguing food for thought,” Serge F rated it four and a half stars; “Very enjoyable, I think it’s the best one in the series, so many surprises, well done, Reno!” “Back to ‘Saw I,’ amazing!” “Very cool, the ending was unexpected.”…

26-year-old Nancy Reno made a name for herself with one film! The beautiful director has become one of the recent focuses of the media. Paparazzi were even following her for candid shots on the street, her fan base grew rapidly, and top talent agencies were reaching out with offers. A star director was on the rise… but Nancy did not play along with the flashes, taking a low-key approach to handle the situation, only revealing that she was in talks with Flame Film about her next collaboration.

“His encouragement was huge for me, I will never forget it. He told me, ‘Nancy, nothing is impossible.’ It’s a simple sentence, but it meant so much to me.”

This year, Lionsgate commissioned a documentary entitled “The Youngest Best Director: Wang Yang,” which has recently been released on DVD. The film gives a genuinely inside look at the “Supernatural Phenomenon” event from the vantage point of “behind Lionsgate’s doors.” Even more compelling is that the production team interviewed many of Wang Yang’s friends, colleagues, and ordinary fans, inviting them to share their personal stories and opinions about him.

Because Jon Phil felt generous and this type of documentary would not cause any trouble, Wang Yang had a mild attitude towards it. As a result, Lionsgate took the opportunity to interview a plethora of celebrities and lesser-known yet significant assistants like Nancy Reno. This low-budget documentary is of high quality and may just create a sales miracle.

Like many hardcore Yang fans, Evelyn got her hands on the DVD as soon as possible. In fact, she thought it could be screened in theaters and wouldn’t lose money even if it didn’t top the box office. Lionsgate was just being too conservative!

In the TV screen, wearing a fisherman’s hat, Nancy Reno sits on the couch, smiling at the camera, “He made me who I am. I now hope I can do well with ‘SAW 5.’ This is my first time directing a film, a horror film. It’s funny because I was scared out of my wits by ‘Paranormal Activity’ back in the day, and now it’s my turn to scare as many people as possible, haha!”

“Aaaaah!” In the pitch-black night, a sudden piercing scream of terror erupted in the living room, and on the TV screen, Rachel gave a sinister smile to the DV camera.

Ava and her younger sister Sofia, shaken and struggling to catch their breath, exclaimed, “Oh my God!” “This is just too frightening!” A sweaty Sofia glared at her sister; she was sure to have nightmares tonight! She complained, “I told you not to watch ‘Paranormal Activity’! Oh—why did we have to rent ‘Thriller Weekend’? My God!” An incredulous Ava marveled, “Wow, Wang Yang made this when he was 18! Even greater than ‘The Exorcist’!”

“When I rushed to the restaurant for the audition, it was already lunchtime, and I almost missed it. Back then… he was young, tall, with such a charming smile, hehe.” On another TV screen, Rachel sits on the sofa with a radiant smile, saying, “Then I found out about his situation; he was really optimistic and strong! And he always joked, ‘I won’t owe you a salary.'” The voiceover reporter asked, “Rachel, everyone knows you two are great friends, and there were even rumors… so what’s the real story?”

That question was edited in, and clearly, Rachel wasn’t upset; she immediately burst out laughing, tucking her hair behind her ear, “It’s not that complicated. Yang is someone who takes relationships very seriously, not a playboy.” She pursed her lips, nodded solemnly, then her dimples creased into a smile again, “To my knowledge, he’s been with Jessica since they were kids, haha! Seriously though, we’ve always just been good friends, sometimes we’ll call each other, that’s about it. Oh! He is my Best Director!” Her face beamed with joy.

“Wildcats sing along, hands up high and jump! This is our way, it’s time to show the world! Come on, everyone!”

The chorus filled the bedroom, and watching the joyful final scenes of “High School Musical” on her computer screen, high schooler Catherine was moved. How awesome! She sang along, waving her hands—it was incredible! She didn’t expect a teen musical from 1999 to still be so exciting and fresh. Compared to “American Pie” and “10 Things I Hate About You,” those felt so outdated. Truly, miraculous Yang! Such a dreamy movie; she was watching it too late!

Alba and McAdams looked so young back then! Catherine sighed with nostalgia, then posted on FACEBOOK to her friends, “Just watched ‘High School Musical.’ Unbelievably good! Why was I only 6 years old back then? Love miraculous Yang!” Quickly switching DVDs, she spotted Wang Yang’s figure in “High School Musical 2,” and couldn’t help but scream, “Miraculous Yang!!” There was Wang Yang, all cool, asking Jessica, “Do you know what Einstein’s greatest theory is?”

“Hahaha!” Catherine couldn’t help but laugh. She just found it hilarious—miraculous Yang seemed to have a joke about him everywhere, especially with his awkward earnestness, it was absurdly funny!

“I’m thrilled to stand on this stage. But it’s a pity I’m holding an envelope, not a little gold man. What’s even more disappointing is that my name will never be written inside this envelope.”

In another city, Luke roared with laughter watching the 74th Oscars ceremony DVD. The best actress presenter Wang Yang’s humorous speech had the Kodak Theatre erupting in deafening applause and laughter, and there was no stopping him from there.

“Yes, I will make more sci-fi movies. I think everyone will support what I make, of course, except for France and Germany.” “I hope one day, two worlds can truly merge into one, sharing peace, freedom, and joy. Anyway, hurry up and end this! Thank you!” “When the whole world laughs at a butt, comedians will be out of business, and that’s really not funny.” “Who is Zack Galifianakis?! Fat butt! Who is Bradley Cooper?! Cool butt! Who is Ed Helms?! Lean butt! Who is Wang Yang?! The guy who films butts!”

“At least before, I never knew that women even needed to shave their legs.” “BABY-IS-HUNGRY!” “With the strength you’ve given me, I can stand here! You’re like wings, letting me fly! It’s not this trophy that tells me I’m the Best Director; it’s you who tell me that I am the Best Director.” “She doesn’t understand, but she’ll smile… I dedicate this to my daughter, and to everyone.” “I am a legend! And you are the makers of legends; I am a moth, and you are the fireflies guiding my dance in the dark, thank you!” …

Wang Yang was stern-faced, Wang Yang was sincerely wishing, Wang Yang was winking and making faces, Wang Yang was playing dumb and charming, Wang Yang had a beaming smile, Wang Yang gave a fist bump, Wang Yang made goofy faces… Wang Yang held the Oscar for Best Director high, and the standing ovation from the entire audience thundered, sending the atmosphere in the theater into a frenzy!

Whether on DVD or on video clips from websites like YouTube, people kept watching these iconic stage moments of the miraculous director, at the Oscars, the Golden Globes, MTV… as well as his talk show appearances, Saturday Night Live, and even a windmill dunk at an NBA game, “Wow, he really knows how to play!” Audiences sometimes laughed heartily at the miraculous director’s antics, and at other times were moved to tears – Wang’s fans truly felt that being a fan of Wang Yang, in a word, was cool!

The comment sections of various videos kept growing with messages from netizens: “I really like him!” “Such a brilliant speech!” “He’s so handsome, such charisma!” “Magical Yang, I love you!” …

“Hey, guys, I’m Wang Yang.” A comedic spoof video played on the computer screen, with Wang Yang waving to the DV camera, laughing as he said, “Today, we’re going to do something big! Can you guess what it is?”

Countless netizens from around the world watched his personal channel on YouTube, always filled with laughter, gasps, and countless spoof trailers of Firefly, with music going from light to heavy in a rapid crescendo. The video window flashed with the logo from Flame Movies, and Mathilda from Léon: The Professional, sitting at the stairwell and smoking, looked at the camera, then suddenly turned into a bald Natalie Portman, “There’s something you need to know—she’s a very dangerous person…”

“I am now a planet!” “My water broke, can you hurry up?” Juno’s brightness dominated the entire TV screen. The young girl, Amy, laughed heartily and pondered Juno’s expressions and tone. Natalie was so cute! Hathaway’s performance was amazing too! No wonder there was that exaggerated collective pregnancy thing before. “Oh, I figured it out!” Suddenly, she cried out in realization – many of today’s internet buzzwords and the cool talk of the youth all came from Juno!

And more Miraculous Yang movies, his blog entries, his words! Amy couldn’t help but exclaim in awe; those people were right, he led the trends!

“Eh! Oh my god!” When Amy saw the credits at the end of Juno, she inadvertently caught a few familiar names and let out another gasp; so many people she liked were there! Annie Daren! Tom Welling, Zachary Levi… All those people from High School Musical. Some actors she noticed, others seemed to have slipped past her? Nancy Reno is there too! Saw 5 was really good! And Joshua Alba, the one who produced Dead Eyes Open, was kind of disgusting…

“He saved my life.” On another TV screen, the increasingly famous Annie Daren smiled with memories, sharing, “He really did save me. That day, a thug was robbing me, taking my bag, and he appeared! ‘What do you want to do? Get lost!’ He chased the thug away, then told me… don’t cry! All of this is in my mind, I haven’t forgotten a bit.” Her eyes were slightly moist as she nodded, “Other than my parents, the person I’m most grateful for is him. I wonder if one day, maybe on stage, perhaps at the Oscars? Haha, to say to him, thank you, director.”

Annie Daren rarely spoke so publicly, she must have been genuinely emotional during the interview. “Hehe!” Annie laughed again, “I mean, every actor would think that way because he is a very, very good director… He will always be the best director in my heart.”

“What’s Wang Yang like? Uh… it’s hard to describe, he is the kind of person who radiates warmth.” Harry George appeared in The Youngest Best Director: Wang Yang, laughing happily, “Ever since I met him, I’ve gained weight, hahaha! His warmth changed my physique, my life…”

“Wang Yang saved me, he saved everything for me, I’ve always said that.” Golden Globe winner for Best Actor, and now one of the most popular movie stars on Earth, from a wandering addict to a fortunate man, “Captain Mal,” “Iron Man” Robert Downey Jr. attributed it all to Wang Yang. Talking about the Golden Globe acceptance episode that fans raved about, he joked, “If it weren’t for him, you might find me by a roadside trash can, drunk and talking nonsense… For me, Yang ‘rewrote’ and ‘directed’ me, a new Robert Downey Jr. He is my Best Director.”

“Baby, believe me, I didn’t have sex with those bugs, I love you, don’t give up on me…” Accompanied by the gentle, sorrowful murmuring music, Wikus sat on the trash-covered ground, speaking into his phone with both determination and pleading, while his red eyes streamed with tears. On the sofa in front of the TV, also with teary eyes, Michaela tore off a large piece of tissue, slowly dabbed at her eyes, her heart aching terribly! No wonder critics said ‘District 9’ was an intensely sad and oppressive film.

When the last Dragonfly wobbled towards the sky in the end, the living room fell silent, Michaela sniffled, let out a few long sighs, her chest still constricted; she never expected the magical Yang to have such a melancholic moment! Her heart continued to throb, still suffering from the emotional impact of the film… Would Christopher Foersten come back? Michaela shook her head, stood up, she needed to breathe some fresh air.

“This is a miracle in the making, created by the wunderkind! It could scare you into a heart attack, if you’re not just into plasma films. I wouldn’t recommend it for children, even with parental guidance, they might get childhood traumas. Alright, I need to go get some sun, it will chase away the fear in my heart.” Since the summer of 1998, the praise from the world of film criticism has never stopped, at most it was just controversial; and throughout the nine years, film critic Roger Ebert gave two thumbs up to Wang Yang, then two more, and two more!…

“I feel very warm, like I’ve been bathed in sunlight… The marvelous Yang, this 19-year-old lad, he is a directorial phenomenon!” “I still feel like I’ve been bathed in sunlight… I’m certain that he will win an Oscar for Best Director in the future. The uncertain part is whether it will be next year or not.” “Still full of sunshine, comfortable to watch… A masterpiece that I could watch three times in a row.” “I can only describe it with one word, Unbelievable… This masterpiece, that puts Hollywood blockbusters to shame, almost killed me with a heart attack.”

“This is what I call comedy! Basically, you have no time to rest, from the start you laugh until the end, you even want to watch the entire credits… The plot is funny, the scenes are funny, the dialogue is funny, everything is near perfect!”

“Ha ha ha…!” “Ah ha ha ha—” “Oh, ah haha ha…” Laughter after laughter erupted in the living room; on the TV screen, the ‘Hangover’ trio was seen fleeing in a car down a Las Vegas road amidst endless screaming. The young couple, Mike and Chris, laughed almost to the point of suffocation, their bellies hurt, their mouths hurt, their heads were about to burst! Chris flopped onto the sofa giggling; how could there be such a hilarious movie! They regretted not watching it sooner because it was rated R; how foolish they had been!

‘The Hangover’ is only one of the Las Vegas duology; they still hadn’t watched the other one, ‘MIT-21-TEAM,’ which they heard was very cool! Now they were 100% convinced it was true.

“You have to pick the winning door out of more than 260,000 choices, don’t forget it’s the same every game… Losers are the ones who play the slot machines.” “Let’s try gambling!” On the computer screen, the slot machines’ three reels gradually came to a stop, one 7, two 7s, the third reel!! Briller felt a rush of adrenaline; this movie was so cool, completely changing his views on gambling movies, and on blackjack, smart people, mathematics! That MIT card counting team was just too cool!

“COME-ON—!” The third reel hadn’t stopped yet when the credits rolled, Briller involuntarily splashed his hands in the air, laughing out of annoyance. Damn that magical Yang!

“Yang is a friend, a director, an idol. He gives me strength, the kind that breaks many conventional prejudices.” Under the documentary lens, Daniel Wu’s smile revealed a sense of reverence; “Yang is hilarious. He taught me how to immerse myself in a crazy state of self-mockery, which is the key to becoming an excellent comedic actor.” Zack Galifianakis, with his bearded happy face, was full of comic charm; “Which one do I like best? It’s like you’re literally trying to kill me. I mean, every one of his movies is classic; and then there’s the TV series, ‘The Big Bang Theory’! My favorite.” Zachary Levi licked his lips as if tasting something delicious.

“Sheldon—” “Leonard.” “Penny, Penny, Penny.” “Howard—” Countless people around the world were watching ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ different episodes but laughing all the same. According to unofficial statistics, each year there’s an incredibly high number of people who dislocate their jaws from laughing at the comedies and sitcoms created by the wondrous Yang. Doctors have repeatedly warned the public that patients with heart conditions should watch ‘Prison Break’ with caution, it’s best to take a walk after each episode instead of binge-watching a season; they also need to take care of their eyes, because viewers of ‘Prison Break’ tend to watch without blinking for extended periods.

“FUCK-YOU, Miranda, FUCK-YOU!” Andrea looked at the expressionless Miranda on the sofa and smiled as she declared victory. “Cool!” shouted Elizabeth, the teenage girl. All her best friends adored ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ and now she was officially on board. This film was incredible! Beautiful clothes, the fashion world, Paris… Jessica was so pretty! She couldn’t understand why such a great film got such low ratings. Those film critics were so full of themselves!

But she knew that critics might have some issues with ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ but regarding Wang Yang’s next brilliant work, ‘Firefly’…

“I am the leaf on the wind, watch how I soar. I am the leaf on the wind…” On the TV screen amidst the pitch-black cosmos was a chaotic battle, Serenity navigating perilously through gunfire and ships, implausibly slipping through the gap between two warships and escaping the fleet! “Ooh!!” Excited cheers filled the living room; suddenly, into the vast sky of New Shanxi, more Firefly ships zoomed in, under the stirring music the camera quickly switched between nearly ten captain’s faces, “Fire.” “Fire.” “Fire!”…

Independent soldier!! Young Harris felt so excited that his skin goose-bumped and he nearly trembled, his lips quivering as he murmured to himself. In another city’s living room, Lida swung her clenched fist, “Fire!” Although she had already watched the IMAX giant screen edition during the film’s release in the summer of ’06 and again last year, watching it now for the third time was still just as shocking! Totally!

“Where do you come from?” When the young girl’s naïve questioning voice rang out, and plum blossom petals gently danced in the air, a group of children ran laughing from the plum forest towards the spaceship. Harris took a deep breath and let out a long sigh; he suddenly understood what it meant to be emotionally shaken, understood what they call “a magnificent epic”! My God! Truly a masterpiece! After watching the complete third viewing of “Firefly,” Lida vaguely felt something more in her heart. Classics are like that, able to withstand the test of time, the more you watch, the better it gets, the more you gain!

Whether it was Harris or Lida, as well as other people, they all couldn’t help but look forward to Wang Yang’s future large-scale sci-fi movie. What kind of magnificent spectacle would he bring next?

“Miracle Yang understands you, it’s as if he understands everyone. After working with him, you’ll feel that, no matter what your strengths and weaknesses, you’re more aware of them,” said Ellen Page with admiring expression in the documentary footage; “Yang’s style is very versatile; you can’t just be surprised and call it a day, you must keep thinking and communicating, understand what he wants, in order to do a good job. Of course, he will also tell you clearly what he expects,” said Wang Yang’s ace cinematographer Varèse Feist; “I love him, I love him!” Joshua kept stressing.

“Yang, the thing that impressed me the most at the time was his confidence; and his intelligence, he understood what we wanted, and that was key in convincing us,” recalled Jon Favreau with a face full of admiration, saying, “You can hardly find young people as mature as him, 18 or 27, he’s always a leader. Think about it, if a person is confident, intelligent, mature, able to overcome difficulties others can’t, remains humble, diligent, maintains a thirst for learning and improvement… these are Miracle Yang, how could he not succeed?”

“Ooh-ooh! You made my dream come true, Ooh-ooh…” The living room filled with a cheerful mood, and on the television screen, Tom walked swaggeringly down the street, then started dancing when he passed through the park. Young girl Joanna smiled with her teeth showing, so happy! But soon her mood turned to sorrow. Her emotions fluctuated, eventually leading to the scene where Tom meets Autumn on the beach, summer is gone, but there’s still autumn!

Joanna clapped her hands with a smile, and her mother who had just returned home glanced at her and casually asked, “What’s up, Ann?” Joanna turned and laughingly replied, “Just finished watching Miracle Yang’s ‘500 Days of Summer,’ it was amazing!” Truly a film more refreshing and delicious than ice cream, tasty! Happy!

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”… Several sudden gunshots resounded through the college dormitory, and on the computer screen, three bodies already lay on the floor of the building, “Oh my God!” Chad looked stunned with wide eyes, Dave, who had already seen it, shrugged his shoulders, and Edmond, sitting on the other side reading a book, laughingly said without lifting his head, “I told you it was hurtful, haha!” Chad shrieked in disbelief, refusing to accept the fact, spreading his hands, “Is that it? He’s dead?! Damn it—!”

It really hurts! In another girls’ dorm room, Jenny’s eyes were red, how could this be!? Just a minute ago, she was looking forward to him getting back his policeman identity! “Ah!” Vivian’s face was full of pity; dying like that was such a waste! “Michael Pitt didn’t end well either…” Cora, having already seen it, almost spoiled it, “Shh!!” But soon, “Bang!” “Bang!” and two more bodies lay there.

“FUCK.” Watching the film enter the credits, Chad softly cursed, and then again, “FUCK!” Dave shrugged and praised, “Good movies never have good endings.” On the other side, Jenny felt very suppressed, that kind of stunning emptiness in her heart; the story was too good! And their acting was too extraordinary…

“Yang is my mentor,” said the now youngest Oscar-winning Best Actor Heath Ledger with a smile on the television screen playing the documentary. He scratched his ear and continued, “I often get troubled by certain things, but ever since I met him, he guides you, helps you, he gives you the fullest energy to complete your performance, and even takes care of your life. I think that’s wonderful! If you don’t want to work with such a director, then who?”

“At that time, I was wandering the streets of Manhattan; those were not easy times, you know I was penniless… Yang helped me,” Michael Pitt said with a wistful face, seemingly overwhelmed by emotion, his eyes turning a bit red, “‘Just a little help to those chasing their dreams; everything is for the dream,’ Yang said. Sometimes I wonder if I can keep going if I could go back to that time and had not met Yang, what kind of person would I become? Yang also gave me the answer.” He smiled and said, “Dreams don’t die.”

In the movie theatre still showing “I Am Legend” with only a dozen or so left, the auditorium seats were sparsely filled with a few audience members, yet they were more engrossed than those who came at first to get a sneak peek, all because the environment around them, void of people, made them feel the loneliness even more, even doomsday wasteland enthusiasts deliberately waited months to watch it just to enjoy this kind of effect, and indeed, they were so thrilled they couldn’t speak!

“The serum works! I can save you! Let me save you…” “NO—” Quietly watching the entire ending scene, Brandon slumped back in his chair with no strength, taking a deep breath, oh God! If you ask him, next year’s Oscar for Best Director would surely be Miracle Yang! At least the fourth nomination.

“You really can’t pin down his style,” renowned film critic Richard Roeper declared to the documentary camera, “We knew that people had said he would be the next Robert Zemeckis, Ridley Scott, Ang Lee, Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas… And now you’re telling me? Amazing Yang is just Amazing Yang, a great director. He possesses the most important qualities of a director, which are exceptional communication skills and extraordinary leadership. Everyone is willing to work their heart out for him; he has that charm that makes you like him.” Highly sought-after Joss Whedon appeared on screen to review Wang Yang.

Is there an Amazing Yang every hundred years? I don’t think so; he is utterly and uniquely distinctive. I feel honored to live in the same era as him.

“If you have a dream, you’ve got to protect it! People who can’t do something themselves will tell you that you can’t do it either. If you’ve got a dream, you have to work hard to achieve it; don’t let your dreams die, that’s the way it is!” On the TV screen, Chris Gardner, who after a tough struggle, succeeded in becoming a stockbroker, walked among a crowd on the street, his expression a mix of excitement, joy, anticipation, and relaxation… His eyes were moist, and he occasionally pumped his fists and laughed out loud.

I want that too! Enoch wiped away the tears in his eyes, moved by emotion, believing that one day, he would taste the joy of dreams coming true! Watching Chris Gardner chatting and laughing with his son as they walked toward the Golden Gate Bridge, he exclaimed, “Wow, truly an enduring classic.”

“Amazing!” Having seen the nearly finished part of the documentary, Evelyn couldn’t help but praise repeatedly, overcome with excitement. Amazing Yang really is fantastic! “Wang Yang has been hot for nine years now, how do you think his future film career will turn out?” the narrating journalist asked as the scene quickly cut to different interviewees responding.

“Without a doubt, he will become an even greater director,” “Without a doubt, Best Director,” “An even greater Amazing Director,” “Best Director,” “Best Director,”…

Watching the TV screen, Natalie threw her head back and laughed heartily, almost toppling over on the couch. She shouted, “All-Right!” and laughed, saying, “That’s cool, my obsession with him was worth it, I’ve repaid him!”

Yes, an even greater director! After applauding for a while, Evelyn clenched her fist and swung it; she and her friends believed that “Infinite Worlds,” “The Stand-In,” and “Real Steel” were bound to be terrific. Of course, ticket sales needn’t even be mentioned, they’d be champions! Maybe even earn three Oscar Best Director nominations! Consecutively! Another triple strike! In her heart, “I Am Legend” had long been nominated.

“Forever Young, I want to be forever young…” Evelyn lingered over the thought for a long time, then, feeling a sudden impulse, sang the song as she walked to her bedroom, opened her computer, and logged onto the Flame Movie official website to check the future release schedule of Flame Movie. First up, “Marley & Me” will hit theaters on December 14 this year, then…

“Wow—now that’s something to look forward to!” After looking over the list item by item, Evelyn couldn’t help but exclaim with excitement. Each movie looked so enticing! She posted on FACEBOOK: “Which upcoming film are you most looking forward to?” This release schedule elicited a flurry of replies from online friends. Cindy said, “Definitely ‘Infinite Worlds’!” Kelly said, “I think we should eliminate Magic Yang, and I’m most looking forward to ‘Sherlock Holmes’.” Arthur said, “I agree with kicking out Magic Yang, ‘Firefly 2’!” “Firefly 2 is also produced and scripted by Yang, dummy!” “Doesn’t anyone look forward to ‘Twilight’?”…

An era was gradually passing, while a new one was slowly dawning. Wang Yang, at 27 years old, was just starting out; Flame Movies was also just starting out; Wang Yang’s team as well, Yang’s fans as well…

“I love you, I love you, I love you! Will you marry me?” On a secluded and tranquil beach under the sparkling starry sky, next to a serene rock, accompanied by the sound of waves, Joshua suddenly dropped to one knee and poured out a heartfelt marriage proposal to Alexis, pulling out a shining engagement ring, his face twisted with nerves and excitement. Alexis covered her mouth with both hands, her face filled with surprise and joyous smiles, and gently nodded her head: “YES, I do.” Joshua instantly jumped up, arms raised high, shouting, “Yay————” (To be continued.
