Chapter 442: 442 Golden Ceremony Arrives

“BAM! The Amazing Yang punches someone!” — Yahoo Entertainment; “Breaking news: Wang Yang and a reporter come to blows on the red carpet” — Sina Entertainment; “Wang Yang may be absent from Golden Globe ceremony” — FOX News; “Public condemns Mizrahi, Amazing Yang’s attendance not in question!” — NBC News…

“What!?” When they heard this explosive news, both Yang’s fans and detractors were shocked. They knew that even after becoming a dad, Wang Yang would still be causing trouble, hitting a reporter! And on the red carpet! What was going on!? Could there be another little girl having an emergency there?

Joshua looked at Keke in Alexis’s arms and exclaimed in surprise, “Little angel, your daddy hit someone!” Keke, not understanding, blinked her big eyes and said, “Yiyah.” Alexis comforted, “It’s nothing, he’s a hero.”

The news, via phone calls, texts, and the internet, spread across the globe in almost an instant. The attention on the Golden Globes from all across China was remarkable, with big favorites Wang Yang, Ang Lee, and their film crews, Zhang Ziyi vying for Best Actress in a Drama, and movies such as “Kung Fu Hustle” and “The Promise” competing for Best Foreign Film, surpassing the fervor of the 58th edition in 2001 attended by Ang Lee, Zhang Ziyi, and Stephen Chow.

CCTV6 would broadcast in the evening, while portals like Sina, Sohu, and Netease would provide live text and image coverage, not to mention the live blogging on forums like Tianya, Mop, and Baidu Tieba. And now, all these places were buzzing with this unclear latest development: Wang Yang hit a reporter!

“It must’ve been the reporter’s fault; our Yangyang would never hit someone without reason!” said Simple Memory; Ban Gen Cao commented, “What’s the Amazing Yang doing? Can he not hit people all the time, is he even going to win an award? Crud!” Blue Glove oοΟ added, “Believe in the Amazing Yang.” Spirit Cat posted, “New update, Yang is fine!”…

Meanwhile, in North America, the public paying close attention to the Golden Globes naturally sought out more details. Hearing the breaking news, many who would be attending various post-ceremony parties, like Mary-Kate Olsen, the Hilton sisters, and others who were not on good terms with Wang Yang, couldn’t help but clap and rejoice at his misfortune!

“Give me the full story, now! Was he injured? Was he taken away?” In the bustling Presidential Suite, Paris Hilton excitedly pressed her assistant for details, only to experience not just a false joy but also seething anger when she learned the complete account of the incident. How could he always be such a jock!! How could he always be the one to do the heroic things? If Mizrahi had harassed her, that damn Wang Yang would have probably laughed it off, right? Remembering their past and thinking about him being the center of attention again that night, Paris stamped her foot in frustration: “Unbearable! Drop dead!”

Nicky Hilton, Mischa Barton, and others didn’t bear any real malice towards Wang Yang; their attitudes were influenced by Paris. But this time, Wang Yang had indeed caught their fancy; he was so interesting and SO manly! Nicky couldn’t help but object to her sister’s comments, “Why are you always targeting him? We could be friends, right?” Paris sneered through gritted teeth, “Who would want to be your friend? Just try asking him out. Hmmph!” Nicky teased, “You’re just upset because you can’t have him, love turned into hate, haha!” Paris narrowed her eyes and cursed silently, “Bitch’s spawn, he won’t win a single award tonight, he’ll go home with nothing…”

The audience watching the live broadcast on the E! Channel knew the incident inside and out; the whole event couldn’t possibly be twisted. As the organizers hurriedly stepped forward to reveal the details to the numerous media outlets, it wasn’t difficult for those who hadn’t watched the broadcast to understand the ins and outs.

The matter originally had nothing to do with Wang Yang; he was just a busybody or better yet, a superhero stepping in. In his own words, he had just “found a bit of fun.” E! Channel reporter Isaac Mizrahi had been acting crazy, teasing numerous actresses starting with Scarlett Johansson. As Wang Yang passed by, he stopped Mizrahi’s breast assault and then followed the E! Channel interview team. Whenever Mizrahi harassed actresses, he stepped in to help. Eventually, the two of them got into an argument, and after Mizrahi pushed the film director, a few seconds later, he found himself lying on the red carpet.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh—” When Wang Yang swung his fist out fiercely, the audience gasped, and the movie fans immediately cheered; when they heard him say, “I was just joking, I just wanted to hit him once to see what it felt like,” the audience couldn’t stop laughing, only a miraculous Wang Yang!

“Even if he killed someone, we’d have to stop the police and let him finish the award ceremony!” That was the first reaction from the NBC executives, tonight anyone could be absent but not the miraculous Wang Yang! Damn, how could Isaac Mizrahi mess with him! The association and NBC responded swiftly, broadcasting rapidly on the internet and their channels—it wasn’t Wang Yang’s fault! NBC switched to its sister channel E! and replayed the footage of Mizrahi attempting to grope Scarlett, and Wang Yang’s footage of easily knocking him down was played over and over, even in slow motion.

“He’s gay, so it’s not sexual harassment, right?” commented the two NBC hosts on the scene, as Joan Rivers continued into her microphone, “But Wang Yang did curse him for ‘acting like he’s gay,’ he thought Mizrahi’s jokes went too far.” Kathy Griffin agreed, “That’s indeed really creepy. The issue is, Wang Yang was getting angrier and Mizrahi wasn’t holding back at all, Charlize Theron, Rachel McAdams, Natalie Portman—we know these people are all Wang Yang’s friends and have worked with him on movies. I’m not surprised he would teach Mizrahi a lesson.”

On the TV screen, a black tie flew up, a massive fist sunk into the cheek, bam, bam, bang! “Not bad, still usable.”

“Aah—” the female fans in front of the TV screamed excitedly, worthy of the “Top-Captain,” so full of charisma! Clair swung her fist, “Cool! SO COOL! Scumbags like Mizrahi should be beaten even worse!” Evelyn, who had gathered with friends to watch, exclaimed, “This is Wang Yang!” Online, PHIL-T said, “I’m gay, but I really detest Mizrahi’s behavior, Wang Yang, good job!” Marcelo said, “Mizrahi must feel good, right? Attracting Wang Yang’s attention, that’s exactly what he wanted, right?”…

Wang Yang punched a bad guy! Fans around the world all breathed a sigh of relief knowing he wouldn’t hit someone for no reason!

Thanks to the rare physical altercation that happens once in decades, the award ceremony instead attracted a vast number of viewers’ attention and interest within a few short hours, pushing the anticipation to a new high! Tonight, you must watch NBC, you must watch Wang Yang!

As dusk slowly descended upon North America, Los Angeles was already a bright and beautiful nightscape. This annual movie entertainment event, watched by everyone, was about to begin! 185 media outlets had moved into the Hilton Hotel’s backstage interview room; hundreds of guests gathered at the ceremony banquet hall, which was themed after the retro style of the 1970s, with walls inlaid with chocolate and tables filled with fine wines and dishes. The elegant guests sat at the tables, chatting, laughing, eating, and drinking; and as the grand opening music played in the banquet hall, people started applauding.

“Welcome to the 63rd annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony, ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome the lead actress of ‘Last Holiday,’ Queen Latifah!”

As the voiceover finished, a lively and upbeat music started, the stage curtains parted, and Queen Latifah, in an aqua blue evening gown, approached the microphone; “Hoo-hoo!” The banquet hall filled with applause and cheers. Then, the live camera immediately cut to Wang Yang at the banquet table below. Dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and black tie, he was smiling and clapping his hands. All the guests and viewers suddenly saw the elegant director on the screen—it was him, he had arrived!

“Hoo-hoo, woo—!” The entire room instantly erupted! The volume of applause and cheers rocketed to a level that might only be reached when presenting the Best Picture award—not for Queen Latifah, but for Wang Yang! Scarlett naturally stood up and clapped her hands, shouting, “Miraculous Wang Yang!” She was more envious of Jessica than ever at that moment. “Wang Yang!” Rachel also stood up smiling and clapping her hands, feeling so happy to know him and to be close friends. “Hoo-hoo—” At the same table as Wang Yang, Natalie also stood up laughing. How could “Tom” get cuter and cuter?

“Whoo—” Charlize Theron, Evangeline Lilly, Teri Hatcher, and other ladies all stood up with bright, stunning smiles, and then all the women in the audience rose to their feet, applauding; a person who respects women surely deserves the respect of women! Seeing this, gentlemen like Russell Crowe, Heath Ledger, and Clooney naturally couldn’t remain seated, regardless of whether they wanted to or not, they all stood up to cheer for Wang Yang’s heroic deed on the red carpet that afternoon!

The live broadcast camera lingered on Wang Yang for a full five seconds before cutting to others, and after several shots of beautiful faces, it cut back to Wang Yang. This time, he grinned broadly and suddenly clenched his right fist while bringing his left hand together to perform a spirited fist-and-palm salute to the camera!

“Hoo hoo!!!” In an instant, the atmosphere in the banquet hall surged even higher, indescribably many people followed with fist-and-palm salutes, the camera quickly panned across to see Scarlett holding a salute, her elegant blond hair subtly swaying; Rachel giving a salute, her sweet dimples on full display; Natalie giving a salute, her striking short hair making her even more tomboyish; Charlize giving a salute, her captivating eyes full of laughter… When the camera focused on him, Ang Lee still had a bashful smile; the shot then moved to Stephen Chow, representing “Kung Fu Hustle,” who was also smiling and making the fist-and-palm gesture.

Countless viewers worldwide witnessed this scene! They were also participating in this moment!

“Magical Yang! Please accept my respect!” In front of TV screens all over, viewers like Clair, Evelyn, and others clapped non-stop and gave their own fist-and-palm salutes; there were also “Firefly” and “500 Days of Summer” cast members like Michael Pitt, Ellen Page, Nancy Reno, and others who couldn’t attend, the staff of DreamWorks, friends, and family, all breathed a sigh of relief and were overjoyed, as Magical Yang attended, receiving treatment befitting a hero! Tonight, he would lead them to launch an assault on glory after glory!

“Oh! What’s gotten into you all, calm down, save some for later,” Queen Latifah said with an affable smile on her face from the stage. As she began to speak, the audience gradually fell silent, Latifah said with a laugh: “I know, Yang, he had a very impressive performance on the red carpet this afternoon.”

Immediately, there was another round of thunderous applause, and at that moment in the backstage press room, watching the live broadcast, Isaac Mizrahi’s face was ashen. Making this kind of scene, he and E! were certainly aware that they’d be denounced afterward, which was exactly what they wanted. Now, Wang Yang’s inclusion had undoubtedly heightened the attention even further, but ending up knocked down on the red carpet as a laughingstock was not part of the plan!!! Paris Hilton, the Olsen sisters, and others’ faces couldn’t look much better themselves…

“Hi, everybody! Happy New Year, and welcome to this annual party.” Once the applause subsided, Queen Latifah officially started the event, she said with a laugh: “You all want to feel the party atmosphere, right?” A chorus of “YES” sounded from below, and she continued: “I mean, don’t you want to feel even more like a party?”

Taking advantage of Latifah’s opening remarks, Natalie, who was about to present the first award with Adrien Brody, stood up and made her way backstage. Before leaving, she gave another fist-and-palm salute to Wang Yang, with Joss Whedon and his wife, as well as Joseph Gordon Levitt, all smiling toward Wang Yang at the table. “Thank you all, really,” Wang Yang replied with a shrug and a smile. He had just done what needed to be done at that moment, and though the subsequent actions might not have been without impulse, they were just a “minor scuffle,” and the sufficiently embarrassed Mizrahi did not seem keen on making anymore fuss.

“How does it feel? Big hero,” Jessica whispered. Wang Yang looked puzzled at the beauty beside him: “Are you angry?” Jessica immediately broke into a smile, shaking her head: “You fought well, but… obviously.” She felt a tinge of jealousy! He used to fight for her alone, but today he fought for them all. It was a strange feeling, as if someone had shared something precious and not meant to be shared… Wang Yang looked around: “Who do you dislike? I’ll go beat him up right now.” Jessica smiled and scolded: “You’re crazy.” Wang Yang laughed: “Obviously.” Seeing him glance at the stage, Jessica took a quiet breath; the magazines were right, sometimes she did feel some pressure.

“I’m so excited and incredibly lucky! Because the two top-grossing movies this weekend are ‘Glory Road’ and ‘Last Holiday’ that I starred in, haha!”

“Glory Road,” directed by James Garner, took the weekend crown from “500 Days of Summer” during January 13-15; “Last Holiday” was a comedy-drama directed by Wang Ying. Queen Latifah said this with a hearty laugh, also causing a burst of cheers and applause. She laughed again, “But what’s really meaningful is that both these films tell stories about African American hope and dreams, which is just perfect for this Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend!” Another round of enthusiastic applause filled the room, and the live camera caught a few African American guests.

“So, as we pay tribute to the works of this dream factory in Hollywood, we should also honor the thoughts of a man with greater ideals, who hoped for equality for everyone, and to Dr. King’s dreams as well as the realization of all our dreams! Let’s start the party!”

The light and lively music started up again, and Queen Latifah shook her rotund figure, walking towards the backstage amid the applause. The voiceover came on: “Coming up, Natalie Portman from ‘V for Vendetta’ and Adrien Brody from ‘King Kong’!” Wang Yang, applauding, chuckled, “Why not ‘the leading actress from 500 Days of Summer’? Could it be that Firefly didn’t advertise here?”

“Good evening! Over five hundred million people in more than 170 countries are watching this show, so we better get started.” Adrien Brody looked at Natalie with a smile, “Natalie, you won Best Supporting Actress last year, and this year you’re nominated for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy, so you starting the show couldn’t be more fitting.” Natalie, holding the envelope, thanked him with a smile, saw everyone in the crowd and Wang Yang’s thumbs-up, and said with a smile, “I wish everyone good luck, here is the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actor…”

The first award was here! Countless fans of “Firefly” in front of the TV perked up. Would “Blue Glove” win?! Could he take the stage to hold up the trophy and say “Thank you”?!

“For playing a conscience-stricken ex-CIA agent, George Clooney, ‘Serenna.'” As Natalie spoke, the camera focused on Clooney, surrounded by the applause of the entire hall, his lips slightly curled in a confident and handsome grin; “For playing a fascist producer, Franz Liebkind…” Brody deliberately read the character’s name, and with Ferrell’s comically widened eyes, the room erupted in light laughter, “Ha! Will Ferrell, ‘The Producers.'” Only then did the room burst into applause and cheers: “Hoo hoo—”

“For playing a boxing manager full of true emotions, Paul Giamatti, ‘Iron Man.'” “For playing a rival producer, Bob Hoskins, ‘Mrs. Henderson Presents.'” After Brody finished, Natalie glanced at the envelope again, and seeing “Firefly,” she was very pleased. She calmly read, “For playing a delusively persistent future secret policeman, Heath Ledger, ‘Firefly.'” Before she even finished speaking, the banquet hall erupted in applause! Many ladies, out of affection for what they love, clapped especially hard.

On millions of TV screens, Heath Ledger, in a black suit and bowtie, was smiling, and next to him, Michelle Williams beamed radiantly. Tonight belonged not only to Wang Yang but was also one of the happiest moments for them.

“And the Golden Globe goes to…” Natalie said as she slowly opened the envelope, hoping she could bring good luck to “Firefly”!

For a moment, whether guests on-site or viewers at home, the whole world was watching her—who would it be?! (
