Text Chapter 72 Shocking laughter

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On Christmas Day, Ye Wei took a plane early in the morning and left Las Vegas and returned to Los Angeles.

    The hero returns triumphantly!  Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and Duoduo all came to pick them up at the airport, and then the whole family went to Disneyland once again to have a happy and unforgettable Christmas.

    Ye Wei also told his parents that he planned to re-edit "Wedding Day is Coming". Now they have no objection, knowing that their son really has this ability. Anyway, "Wedding Day is Coming" is already a mess that is difficult to clean up. They don't know how to  Let your son handle it, but it must not affect his studies!

    The next day, Ye Wei started work immediately. First of all, he had to see what materials were available and how he could achieve his editing positioning: spoof, inferior, and funny.

    "Don't think about the meaning of shaping it at all. Just be as stupid as you like, but it's not really stupid, but the feeling of "Scream", so stupid that it makes people laugh.

    It¡¯s just that after all, there are only those story materials, and it¡¯s very difficult to achieve the goal. Although he doesn¡¯t want to cut out some super classic, a B+ is very good.

    After reading the material, he quickly came up with a few ideas. First, the length of the film was no longer set at 90 minutes, which is the standard length of a feature film. It was really not suitable for such a length. In order to be compact and powerful, 70 minutes had to be accepted.  Some NG materials are also deliberately used to deliberately highlight some revealing shots.

    Second, the most important new character is added, the narrator "The God of Weddings" who is voiced by him but does not show his face but accompanies the entire film.

    The "God of Wedding" will make fun of the actions and stories of the characters in the film like an audio commentary. For example, when the heroine Kana is really annoying, the "God of Wedding" will jump out and say: "Damn it, this is  Bitch better not get married, I've had enough!"

    He will also impose some punishments and grant some help, which plays a role in connecting the stories.  This character will become a big selling point, responsible for detonating the laughter of the script and giving the inferior images a new spoof atmosphere. In this way, some boring scenes will become interesting, and the audience will look forward to the "God of Wedding"  reaction and then laughed.

    So this is not just a re-edit, but also a re-creation of the script and images, all relying on narration.

    This is the only way to remake the scene without spending money or time on reshoots. It is difficult, but fortunately, he is full of humorous cells. Even his big toe can say wisecracks: "Hi, I am a Japanese boy."  -chicken-chicken.¡±

    It costs money to do professional editing and dubbing, but Darum and the others helped, and they saved a fortune, only during this holiday!  Because "Wedding Day is Coming" is a commercial movie, they can exploit loopholes during the holidays. If they were caught and prosecuted by the school, they would be in trouble.

    Ye Wei knows this and will not harm them. He will hurry up during the winter vacation and it will almost be completed.

    So, he entered the post-production life mode again, getting up early and going to and from USC every day

    Time flies by day by day, and soon, January 1st is here, and 2004 is here!

    A lot has happened and changed a lot in the last two months of 2003. Ye Wei looked back with emotion and said, "We must continue to work hard in 2004!"

    "Happy New Year!" On this day, blessings from people from all walks of life were flowing in. Most of his friends were still on vacation around the world. Lily watched the grand spectacle of the Big Apple's crystal ball falling in Times Square in New York and took photos.  I sent some photos to him on the Internet, which were very good.

    During the New Year holiday, Ye Wei only gave himself one day off to spend time with his family, especially Duoduo, who had a bad temper!  She recently planned to get into trouble with Lily. How could she go on dates every day?

    "You can think of it as dating and honeymooning. One day, you will do this with a boy Oh my god, if that guy dares to bully you, I will kill him!"

    ¡­¡­

    On the other hand, after the Christmas break, Willis discussed Ye Wei's new situation and his own thoughts with his CAA agent Richard Lovett and company partner Arnold Rifkin.  Impressed.

    As soon as he heard about it, Lovett almost yelled at his old friend and screen star, "Are you crazy?!" But of course he didn't dare to do that, and just asked in surprise: "Bruce, what's going on?  Why do you have this idea? What is this Ye Wei capable of?"

    ¡°A young Asian man who seems to have a bright future.¡± Willis commented.

    When Lovett watched the short film "Dance of Angels", he fell silent; Arnold Rifkin, who also watched it, also fell silent.

    "Where did this weird genius kid come from", "I can't believe it."

    The short film is indeed great, but this thing is so weird that it makes their professional experience useless and they cannot make a confident judgment immediately.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?They came up with something, and within a few days, Lovett received a call from Focus Films. After some discussion, he conveyed the company's intentions to Willis.

    "Little Miss Sunshine" is co-produced by Focus Desire and Cheyenne Enterprises. What was once a hot potato has now truly become a golden baby. Once there is a superstar, everything changes.

    If Willis is willing to star, the top brass will be willing to increase the budget for this project. As long as they have money, they can create an excellent online lineup. Not to mention that the script may be good or bad, even if it is bad, it can still be filmed.  Well, as long as it doesn't turn into a pile of garbage, you can make money.

    Therefore, if Willis stars, the salary and dividends will be easy to talk about, and Focus is confident that the film will be brought to the Oscar stage!

    "Bruce, they plan to find first-line producers and directors of artistic films to produce it. As long as you star in it, this can be written into the contract! This way the film will be competitive during the awards season

    I don¡¯t deny that Ye Wei has certain abilities, and he may be one of the best at his age.  But no matter what kind of genius he is, if he directs it, it will be his first time directing a feature film. He may be able to make a good film, but it will definitely not reach Oscar-level heights!

    But Stephen Daldry can do it, Sam Mendes can do it, and Steven Soderbergh can do it!  Focus has the ability to hire one of them, or other big directors!

    The script of "Little Miss Sunshine" really has the potential to hit the awards. This is your chance to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor!  Even win an award?  Bruce, the closest we came to being nominated was for "The Sixth Sense." Unfortunately, those at the Academy just didn't think you were qualified enough. Now that the opportunity has come again, are you going to let it run away?

    Don¡¯t forget my CAA resources. If it is directed by a big director, I can immediately assemble a wonderful cast. If it is directed by Ye Wei it depends on luck.  "

    Lovett¡¯s meaning is very clear. The biggest obstacle now is not anyone but Ye Wei. He is a damn stumbling block!  He refused to hand over the script for a day, and those beautiful blueprints would always be just blueprints

    And Arnold Rifkin¡¯s view on this is:

    "Weiduo Image and Dream Alliance are just layman film companies. If we cooperate, we don't expect the other party to have any production capabilities, but in terms of distribution capabilities, the other party has zero, and we also have zero, and Focus Films does not  Zero, they also have superb public relations lobbying skills during the awards season.

    You should know that the same "Little Miss Sunshine", the same 120 minutes, released by Focus Features, can get multiple Oscar nominations. If we release it, it will be difficult to get even one nomination So no matter what, this project needs  Focus gets involved.  "

    After listening to their opinions, Willis was very silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally made a decision: "We should give Ye Wei a meeting and give him a chance to convince us."

    A meeting?  Lovett didn't think much of it, but he didn't object either; Rifkin was interested and nodded in agreement.

    On the night of January 2nd, Ye Wei suddenly received a call from Willis at home. Early tomorrow morning, he would go to the Cheyenne corporate headquarters to hold a meeting!

    The 3rd is a Saturday, but the film industry is like this. You can have meetings whenever you want. There is no fixed holiday to speak of.  You must know that big shots can be on vacation or working at any time. It is not easy to gather a few big shots for a meeting.

    "Boy, you better prepare for this meeting. We will discuss the feasibility of cooperation between the two parties, especially the feasibility of you producing and directing. I am very interested in starring in "Little Miss Sunshine", but we have not yet  There are too many doubts, this is your opportunity, if you have the ability, take it.¡±

    "Yes, sir, okay, I will be there on time!"

    "Focus Films will also send people to participate. If this project is really produced, we will need their distribution capabilities. I heard that you have some grudges, are you okay?"

    "It's nothing. I know the overall situation is more important. I have nothing to do with them, haha."

    "That's good, see you tomorrow morning."

    Ye Wei has been putting down his phone for a long time, but he is still excited. Although he is very unhappy with Focus' participation, who cares, as long as he can produce and direct, Focus' strong distribution channels will only succeed him!  After calming down, he immediately took the time to prepare. There must not be any mistakes in this meeting that determines the final outcome!

    Soon, the tense night passed, and the morning of the 3rd arrived.

    With the expectations and blessings of family and friends, Ye Wei took a prepared box of things and headed to Santa Monica alone, the target, Cheyenne corporate headquarters!
