- Kevin Thomas posted the $500,100 compensation before dusk on Wednesday. This scammer had no choice but to do this in order to keep his reputation.
These changes have occurred in the company, and three theater distribution companies have become one. The other five limited partners are not without doubts, but they cannot know the truth yet, otherwise they will mess up everything. All they knew was that Kevin Thomas was fired because of his negligence in releasing the film, and the company would be fine.
Thursday is one day closer to the release of "Wedding Day".
Ye Wei continued to get up early in the morning to go to school, but today he brought something to school to prepare for busy work, the latest version of "Hollywood Creative Industries Guide"!
"Hollywood Creative Industries Guide" is an important reference for anyone in the film industry. It is not a journal and is updated three times a year. It lists all past and current projects of various Hollywood studios and producers, including "Wedding Date". Coming soon."
This guide has so many uses. Whether it is a producer setting up a project, a screenwriter submitting a script, an actor looking for a movie you can find the market information you need.
He went to the movie bookstore to buy this after school yesterday. He also bought the latest "Variety Daily", "Behind the Scenes", "Filmmaker Special", etc. This industry information is like a desert buried with gold. He wants to Dig out some valuable rough stones from it.
Today is the activity day of the Dream Chaser League Club, but at 9:25, Ye Wei did not go to the utility room of the academic center where the activity was held. He sent a text message to Lev and the others, "I am busy with other things today. You guys have fun." , don¡¯t come to me.¡±
He held a large bag of magazines and sat in a quiet corner of the campus under the shade of the trees. He ignored the students walking and laughing in the distance and read carefully.
Last night, Ye Wei had already watched part of it, but all the projects were as numerous as the stars in the sky, from mainstream studios, mini-mainstreams, independent film companies
Hundreds of projects are in progress, some are still in the planning stage, some are in early preparation, some are filming, post-production, distribution and promotion
Some project costs are as low as tens of thousands, while others are as high as the sky. For example, the production budget of "Spider-Man 2" in post-production is $200,000,000, which is 200 million US dollars! It's just the production fee, not including distribution, publicity, etc.
With two hundred million US dollars, you can build a luxurious high-rise building on the ground anywhere in the world, or you can make a two-hour Hollywood blockbuster. This is the film industry.
Ye Wei looked at this guide and couldn't help but sigh, how many of these projects will end up in a mess, and how many will perform miracles? Which one will lose and which one will make a profit?
"Primitive tribes respect the storyteller, but if his story is not told well, they will kill him and eat him for dinner."
This is a famous saying in Hollywood, the motto of many filmmakers, and the reason why reputation is important. The film industry is really full of unknowns.
No one knows the future, only the past.
Reputation here does not refer to your moral character in private life. As long as you are valuable, no film producer will care whether you are a drug dealer or a pervert who peeped at an old lady taking a bath; it refers to your professionalism, earning power, and the impact your actions will have on the film itself.
Filmmakers are not lawyers or doctors, they are athletes. Their status will have ups and downs. Being great once does not mean that you will always be good. Falling once does not mean that you will never be able to stand up.
So there is an unwritten "three strikes and you're out" rule in the industry: producers, directors, starring actors, screenwriters, whoever fails three times in a row will be eliminated.
No matter what the reason behind the failure, no one cares, the industry will only look for one thing: "Now you are an unlucky guy, whoever gets your bad luck will die."
This rule is especially strict for foreign filmmakers and those on the margins of the industry.
Like John Woo, a series of successes such as "Face" and "Mission: Impossible 2" made him famous and wealthy in Hollywood, and he didn't have to worry about making new films; but with the two failures of "Windtalker" and "Bulletproof Monk", He's already on the edge of a cliff, and if "Cracked in Memory," released next month, messes up again strikeout.
¡°It¡¯s a thousand or ten thousand times harder to get back on your feet than it is for a newcomer to break into Hollywood.
And Ang Lee, "The Incredible Hulk" released this summer failed miserably, for the first time.
What will be their future, Ye Wei is not sure. Only his own experience can make that dream clear, but he has a feeling that Ang Lee will stand up again, and it will definitely be like this. Commercial films are like sons of bitches, and literary films But he respects his skills. Ang Lee¡¯s literary skills are there. As long as he makes literary films, he will be fine.
Even the situation of the Chinese director he cares about most is unclear, and the others are not much better, so YeBut after flipping through the pages of the magazine, it is difficult to find much clear information.
He wanted to find a project that was intentionally abandoned but was actually very good, relying on his own professional judgment and clues in his dreams. But so far, I haven¡¯t found anything particularly interesting. I¡¯ll circle and mark the ones that look interesting so that I can contact you later
¡¡
"Hahaha!"
"Guys, look what this is, oh yeah, I'm gonna blow it up¡ª¡ª"
At the same time, bursts of crazy laughter were erupting in the utility room on the first floor of the academic center, as well as the sound of TV and conversations
In the corridor outside, Lily Collins frowned and raised her hand to knock on the door, but she couldn't knock it.
It¡¯s really bad! What happened was that after yesterday's Operation Cuttlefish, she found that the braided rope bracelet she was wearing was missing! It was given to her by her father. To others it was just a worthless rope bracelet, but to her it had a very important meaning.
She was anxious, but she couldn¡¯t find it after searching for it. In the end, there was only one possibility left: the bracelet was lost during Operation Cuttlefish.
So she called and asked Tristel, Babu and the others, and even asked the two supervising teachers. Everyone said they had not seen them. Only one person in the team yesterday did not ask
Babu wanted to give her the man's mobile phone number, but she refused. She had to talk to the man face to face to confirm whether what he said was true or false. Yes, she didn't trust him.
Some people say that he can be found here because today is the activity day of his club, the "Dream Chasing League". It sounds so nice. Who doesn't know that it is a gathering place for geeks The activities of other clubs are usually in the academic area. Central classrooms, Reynolds Hall, libraries, theaters and other remote places. How could a normal person come to the utility room
Lily wandered a few steps and took a few breaths, as if there were several monsters locked in the room. If the door was accidentally opened, it would cause the consequences of destroying the world.
How reluctant! But what can be done? She finally knocked on the door, "HELLO?"
"Coming, coming¡ª¡ª"
It was not Ye Wei¡¯s voice. When the door opened, it was indeed not him. It was a big-nosed boy in weird clothes and a beard. As soon as he saw her, he screamed: "Ah!!!"
Lily felt pain in her ears and couldn't help but take a step back, wondering: "Are you okay?"
"Oh my god! I was right, I was so damn right!" The boy yelled crazily, looked back, and screamed again: "Here she comes, Lily Collins!!!"
"Wellwell"
Lily felt speechless and looked into the room to find Ye Wei's figure. The area of ??the utility room near the door had been cleared out, and there were sofas, TVs and other items placed there. It looked like a hall at home. Except for the lunatic at the door, there was nothing inside There were three other boys, but there was no Ye Wei.
"Hello, hello, I'm Lev, that's Bud, Noah, KerwinOh my God, Brother Wei, Brother Wei, where are you!?" Lev shouted crazily.
Bud was sitting on the sofa holding a large bucket of popcorn, watching "Friends" on TV. When there were no special activities, this was his pastime, watching an episode of "Friends" on DVD. At this time, he was looking at the door, his mouth wide open and filled with popcorn.
The little Chinese boy sitting at the coffee table next to him is named Chen Nuo, or Noah Chen. He is wearing a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses and is playing "Dungeons and Dragons" alone. There is a Looking at the map and cards, his face was dull at this moment, and the 12-sided dice in his hand fell down
And over in the corner, a pale white boy seemed to be hiding there, about to get into the debris. He was reading a copy of "National Geographic", glanced at the door, and immediately retracted his gaze and continued. Looking down at the book Kerwin Leiter, a guy with mild autism.
"Wei, brother Wei!!!"
"But I didn't come today because I had something to do." It was Kerwin who spoke calmly.
"Uhyeah." Lev scratched his red nose. Suddenly, he noticed Lily Collins glance at his hand, and then he remembered that he was playing with a condomand quickly stuffed it back into his pocket. Here, he laughed dryly
They are all disgusting people! Looking at these, Lily kept muttering in her heart, not wanting to stay any longer for a second, the annoying cool kids and the annoying weirdos were both annoying
But she also had doubts, why would Ye Wei play with them?
It's so strange. If he wants to be a popular figure in school and be pestered by brainless girls all day long, then he shouldn't do this. The fact is that whoever plays with freaks will be defined as a freak by others. She has no popularity, no friends, no girlfriend doesn't he know? Is he a fool?
After hearing what they said, she was a little disappointed, but she still took a very reluctant step: "Then can you give me his mobile phone number? I have something to do with him."
?????????????????????????????????????? Lev nodded wildly, and the more he looked at the other person, the more nervous he became. This is Lily Collins, the beautiful daughter of a rock star! God! His words became stuttering: "Of course, of course! We know best about Brother Wei"
"Yes! Yes!" Bud swallowed a mouthful of popcorn with difficulty.
"He is now about 170cm tall and over 140 pounds. His birthday is February 19th and he is a Pisces, so he is romantic in nature and very artistic. His blood type is AB, which is cool. Also, he knows several languages. , proficient in English, Chinese, and a little bit of Spanish, French, Polish, and the common language of "Dungeons and Dragons""
Bud shouted loudly: "Also, he lives in Brentwood. He likes to eat Chinese food the most, but it is not fried food. There are many exquisite things, which are the teachings of his grandfather. I can only admire him. My grandfather was a Chinese World War II veteran! It¡¯s a pity that he passed away a few years ago I¡¯m so sad.¡±
"Let me tell you! Bud, let me tell you!" Lev became angry and turned around to yell at his partner. He didn't notice Lily's stunned look early on, and quickly became like a machine gun: "Monroe and Hepburn , he likes Hepburn! Of course he is also interested in Monroe, as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman Wei¡¯s interests are very broad!¡±
Over there, Chen Nuo also said blankly: "Yes, Wei's reading hobby is also, he can read all kinds of books"
"By the way, he wears size M clothes, and he likes the style of underwear!" Bud said while thinking
"Stop!!!" Lily had to shout, and the whole place was silent. She felt like she was going crazy and couldn't laugh or cry: "I just want to get his mobile phone number"
Lev and Bard both had understanding expressions. Lev smiled and said, "I understand, I understand, just do it step by step. Okay, Noah, give me a pen and paper!"
Chen Nuo acted quickly. When Lev took the pen and paper, he looked at his mobile phone and started writing: "This is Wei's mobile phone number, this is his home phone number, this is his email, this is His MSN number, this is his"
"Thank you, thank you" Lily saw that there was already a mobile phone number on the paper, so she reached out and grabbed it, "That's enough, thank you! Goodbye!"
After saying that, she strode away in a hurry, four weirdos! No, five!
It took a while before movement returned to the utility room.
"Wow" Lev's eyes widened before he recovered, and he said with a tsk: "The game is about to reach 16 years old, and Brother Wei is finally going to score!"
Bud giggled happily: "She is so beautiful, I really admire Brother Wei." Chen Nuo sighed: "She looks like an elf girl." Kerwin, who had been reading a book, suddenly said something else: " I like her British accent." - Didn't finish reading?
