- Little-Miss-Sunshine!
Ye Wei looked at the name of the movie project in the magazine, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he had a feeling in his heart, "Little Miss Sunshine", "Little Miss Sunshine" He had a sense of future touch with this name! I seem to have heard it somewhere, in that dream!
This means that "Little Miss Sunshine" will be very famous in the future.
Whether it¡¯s good or bad, it will be famous.
This is undoubtedly a penalty kick opportunity, whether it is kicked in or kicked out, this is a penalty kick.
But why is it considered to be abandoned? What was its producer Focus Films thinking?
Ye Wei read the only information in the magazine, which said that Focus still had doubts about the feasibility of this project and believed that the script was not good enough and might abandon production.
He thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't remember any information about it, and he couldn't judge whether it was good or bad. He could only get the answer by reading the script of "Little Miss Sunshine" himself.
"Focus Film Company" Ye Wei murmured a few times, "You have always been quite smart, do you want to be a fool for once?"
This is a very successful company and has been profiled in magazines.
In 2002, five production companies, American Films, Universal Focus, Good Machine, Gramercy Pictures and October Films, merged into one, now known as Focus-Features.
It is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures. It is responsible for the production of literary films and as a distributor of its own films and imported films. The films related to it are all niche literary films. Currently, the famous ones include "Far From Heaven" and "Far From Heaven". "Lost in Translation", last year also released the Indian film "Monsoon Wedding", which promoted the trend of wedding movies, and next year will release a strong lineup of films such as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
In less than two years since its establishment, it has achieved remarkable results. For example, "Lost in Translation" has become the darling of this year's awards season, with strong calls for Golden Globes and Oscars.
This is all due to its strong production capabilities, distribution capabilities and operational capabilities. Some media call it the "new Miramax", and Focus does have this potential.
Its business strategy is really smart. The production focuses on hitting the mark right away, and the distribution depends on the market trend. It imports some good foreign movies, which can easily earn box office, and there will definitely be gains in the video disc market.
It can be seen that Focus has made some money in the past two years. It is currently involved in many projects, some of which are main creators, and some of which are investors. Several of them have even come out with cost budgets. "Deadly Christmas" has a budget of tens of millions. "Night", "Broken Flower", "The Immortal Gardener", "Blood Splattered on Precinct 13" which cost 20 million yuan, and "Brokeback Mountain" among them. It also gave him a name with a touch of the future. It is said that Focus is intentional Invite Ang Lee to direct
With so many production projects, all expected to be released in 2005, with a combined cost of over half a billion, what happened to "Little Miss Sunshine" that made Focus so unsure?
"Wellit seems like it's not a regular script, that's good, that's good"
Ye Wei thought and muttered that independent literary and artistic films must be unconventional. If he wanted a Hollywood-style commercial script or a Hollywood-style literary script, he could write it himself. He had taken many screenwriting courses, but what he wanted was a A great script with great awards season potential!
As for what the hell is going on with the focus? That's the way it is when making movies. No one can guarantee that they will be right every time. "Star Wars" and "Titanic" were not favored by manufacturers.
Ye Wei thought about it and took out his mobile phone and called the contact number of Focus Movies written in the magazine, "Hello, is this Focus Movies?"
The sweet voice of the operator came from the other side: "Yes, hello sir, how can I help you?"
"My name is Ye Wei, I am a producer of a small production company. I would like to ask about your company's "Little Miss Sunshine"."
Ye Wei looked at the bottom of the magazine. Although this was the latest edition, the publication date had been some time ago, so any changes were possible, such as the project had changed hands, or Focus was determined to produce He screened the screen nervously. Hold your breath and ask, "How is this project going now?"
"Is it "Little Miss Sunshine"? Let me take a look" The operator paused for a while and then replied: "Mr. Ye, it is now shelved by our company."
That means it¡¯s still there! Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "Does your company plan to sell this project?"
"We have this intention, because we consider that "Little Miss Sunshine" is not suitable for the focus of the style, and are actively looking for buyers for it. Are you interested, sir?"
"Yes, yes, I'm interested!" Ye Wei suddenly laughed and said, I'm so interested! "I'll take a look at its script first. When can I do it? Is it okay this afternoon?"
"Yes, you can do it before 18:00. We welcome you."
Ye Wei said hello and asked: "I want to know how the competition for this project is now? How many potential buyers are there?"
"About this" The operator laughed helplessly, "I don't know, only the production department knows. But, sir, as far as I know, we still have production plans for "Little Miss Sunshine" Think about it, so maybe there will be buyers who bid, but we don¡¯t sell in the end, I hope you can understand.¡±
"Yes, I understand." Ye Wei nodded. She really couldn't ask for such business secrets. She thought about it and then asked: "So, how long has it been since your company decided to sell this project?"
"About half a month or so."
Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief again, OK, the abandoned project of "New Miramax" could not find a buyer for half a month, which shows that there are not many competitors.
"Okay, thank you, see you in the afternoon." After hanging up the call, he threw the phone and caught it steadily. If it is really a good script and everything is suitable, he must buy it with all his strength!
Despite this prominent goal, he continued to flip through magazines, looking for more opportunities.
After a while, the phone suddenly rang. Ye Wei took it and saw that it was a call from Lily Collins. His heart skipped a beat, what the hell! How come there is a feeling of excitement? Because she is beautiful? He scratched his head and answered, "Hi, Jane."
"How did you know?" Lily Collins over there said in a surprised tone.
"What do you mean?"
¡°My middle name!¡±
"Isn't it clearly written on IMDb? Lily Jane Collins." Ye Wei smiled, "I just found out that you guest-starred in "Growing Pains" when you were two years old, why didn't I recognize it? "
Lily was a little silent, and then said after a while: "That was a long time ago."
Ye Wei then thought about it and thought that when she was two years old, her parents had not yet divorced. In fact, there were no growing pains. They only appeared later. He said nothing and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me you're not dating me? Really? Doesn't that day count?"
"Can you stop being such a bastard?" Lily couldn't laugh or cry, "I want to say that I feel very sad about that movie at your home and I didn't mean to clarify our scandal at this juncture. If I knew about your I will handle the situation in a better way.¡±
"OK." Ye Wei remembered what Lev and the others said. Except for Kerwin, they all seemed wrong.
There is another mean girl missing in the world? He looked at the more students around him and laughed loudly and deliberately like a show off: "It's okay, Lily, I don't care, the nickname 'Chief Bridesmaid' is quite cool, isn't it?"
I don¡¯t know if Lily noticed that he called her by her first name. She also laughed: ¡°I don¡¯t even understand why Americans don¡¯t like football so much¡±
"You mean Soccer, right?" Ye Wei was a little surprised and said in surprise: "Or Suck, who the cheerleaders don't care about?"
"Haha! You are really an asshole." Lily chuckled. The pronunciation of Soccer and Suck are similar, and the meaning is The school cheerleading team only cheers for the football and basketball teams. The football team has nothing. It's really Suck. .
That¡¯s why she considered whether to join the cheerleading team in high school. She wanted to have the experience of cheerleading, but she didn¡¯t have the enthusiasm to cheer for football and basketball. It was really a contradiction.
"Everyone knows that I'm a jerk." Ye Wei shrugged, "If there's nothing else, then I'll hang up because I still have things to do."
What surprised him again was that Lily actually stopped him: "Wait!"
"What?" he wondered, and heard her hesitantly say: "I don't know if this is the right time, and it's a selfish idea First of all, I have been collecting Alexander dolls, and then, you have A Jane Eyre doll that I have been looking for for a long time. I don¡¯t think you care much about it, right? "
"Oh, that's it" Ye Wei was completely unexpected. Is that so? Human beings spend their entire lives chasing their own needs and preferences.
"Is that okay? That Jane Eyre doll is from the 1930s and has a market value of about $500. I'll pay $1,000 for it, okay?" Lily's tone was very sincere this time.
"I'll give it to you." Ye Wei suddenly said, making a decision easily on this matter, "No money."
"What¡¡!?"
"Isn't it appropriate to give a gift to Jane?"
Ye Wei smiled and said,What I plan to produce is not a Super 8 movie, nor a DV, nor even a 16mm movie. The cost will definitely be a very high number. The money was not raised here, and the doll only cost a hundred yuan. In the end, The important thing is that he just wants to give it to her and make the girl happy.
"Thank youI, haha, I am also preparing you to be able to open your mouth like a lion, thank you" After the shock, Lily's tone for the first time sounded like what Babu described as "soft-spoken".
¡°I was planning on doing that, but I was afraid that Tarzan would suddenly come out of nowhere and shout, ¡®Jane, bye Jane!¡¯ That would drive me crazy.¡±
"Ha ha!"
Listening to the words coming from the mobile phone, Lily couldn't help but laugh again. The laughter almost resounded throughout this section of the tree-lined road, which made Triest, who was not far behind, look puzzled. She smiled and tilted her head. She really wanted to share it right away. This joke, "Jane-Buy-Jane" and "Jane, Bye, Jane!" That bastard is pretty funny
She smiled and said: "Then I really have to thank Taishan."
"Whatever you like. Just let it be, but not today. I have other things to do after school. Tomorrow is Veterans Day and I don't have to go to school. I don't want to bring it to school the day after tomorrow, otherwise it will be seen by others. You know there will be No matter what the consequences, I can¡¯t harm my friends.¡±
"Yes, don't do that." Thinking of that funny scene, Lily chuckled again. He brought a doll to school, but he was not just the "chief bridesmaid". She smiled and said: "Aren't you free tomorrow? "
In the end, the two of them decided on a time to meet at a stop on Sunset Boulevard in Brentwood at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. In fact, the distance between their homes is not very far. It takes about half an hour to walk and ten minutes to drive. The agreed place is in the middle.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Wei was in a good mood and continued to read the magazine. However, in the end, he couldn't find another project as special as "Little Miss Sunshine".
When the school bell rang in the afternoon, Ye Wei hurriedly packed up and left in a hurry. The football team originally had training after school, but he turned it down, which made the coaches very dissatisfied. He had missed many trainings and a game last week. As the captain, this had a great impact on the team.
But he really couldn¡¯t care about it for the time being. After leaving school, he immediately took a taxi and went to the headquarters of Focus Company, Universal Studios. - Didn't finish reading?
