- "The movie dream of a talented boy"
In the early morning of March 5th, stacks of Los Angeles Times, exuding the fragrance of ink, were delivered to newspaper readers from various channels. They were reading them while eating breakfast at home, on the bus and subway, or at school. On the school bus, in the office, or on the street
In cities across the West, there are people reading the latest Los Angeles Times and seeing the movie version of this interview.
"Ye Wei?"
"A genius boy? What did he do'The short film "Dance of Angels" was broadcast on the Nickelodeon channel, attracting an average of 1.15 million viewers' It seems that he has some skills."
"What a strange thing!"
People are curious and confused. This thing is so novel. An Asian boy who has just turned 16 years old has his charity short film on TV. It received good ratings and received good response. All the income of 500,000 US dollars was donated to charity organizations, isn't it? Not music, but a short film!
Today is not April Fool's Day, and the "Los Angeles Times" is not an irresponsible tabloid, so this is authoritative and true news. There is such an amazing young man!
Some people understand, and some are not sure how powerful this is, but the introductory paragraph in the newspaper gives the definition. Many great directors have been making short films since they were teenagers, some are younger than Ye Wei, but they can do what he does Not one!
What is happening now is Unprecedented, Incredible, Amazing, Movie-Genius!
Reporter Laws asked: "Steven Spielberg made a Super 8 feature film when he was 16 years old. Who do you think is more talented than you and him at that time?"
Ye Wei: "Spielberg is one of the filmmakers I respect the most. When he was a boy, we didn't have the technology we have today. Every shot he shot had to be developed and printed before the effect could be seen, but I could see it on the spot when I was shooting. Here we are, so we are actually doing many different things. He has his problems of the times, and I have mine. The same thing is that we are all addicted to a kind of poison. We can only breathe if we make movies. will die."
"Hahaha, VIY was in the newspaper!"
Harvard-Westlake school buses were moving forward one after another, and everyone was cheering. Lev, Bud and others excitedly raised the newspapers in their hands. Ye Wei's handsome photo was very conspicuous. Everyone in all grades had bright eyes, not the junior high school. The "Spectrum" is the "Los Angeles Times"!
"Show it to me quickly, oh myVIY, this photo is so cool!"
"What did the BOSS say?"
¡°Don¡¯t argue, don¡¯t argue, ahem, please invite Lev Bobil, the ¡®Nose of the Sphinx¡¯, to read it to you!¡±
¡¡
As early as March 3, Ye Wei, accompanied by Leslie Dart, went to the interview room of the Los Angeles Times headquarters building for an exclusive interview.
The reporter who interviewed him, Ross Manao, was not a big name, but ordinary reporters were better than ordinary reporters, and Ye Wei was easier to deal with and control. Over the past few days, Leslie has taught him a lot about how to deal with the media.
There is no need to lie or exaggerate the facts, you just need to speak skillfully, just like the skills of telling a story in a movie, what should be said and what should not be said, where should be emphasized, and where should be gently passed over to make your story more beautiful. Making your emotions more touching is a big question.
Originally, Leslie was worried that Ye Wei would be difficult to teach. After all, he was only 16 years old, and he heard that Lovett, Ibuprofen and others said that he was a piece of dead wood in terms of public relations.
But she was surprised to find that regardless of whether Ye Wei was a movie genius or not, he was definitely a conversational genius!
His eloquence is something that no one can teach. That kind of confidence, humor, appeal and charm are destined to make him a successful speaker, host, or publicist even if he doesn't make movies. In the end, Leslie only taught some conversation taboos, avoid talking about religion, politics, race, etc., and how to deal with them if they did.
This interview will not involve "Little Miss Sunshine", nor will it rise to the level of the American Dream. It will just introduce him as a person and "Angel Dance".
Leslie only had one request, "Wei, be yourself and bring people the power of a positive idol like sunshine!"
"You are too young." In the elegant interview room, Rouse Manao and Ye Wei shook hands and met each other. The reporter in his early thirties repeatedly lamented, "I watched your short film and I almost cried. In the end I couldn¡¯t believe it when I saw that ¡®Ye Wei¡¯ was actually a teenager.¡±
"Has the interview started now?" Ye Wei asked with a smile as he sat down on the guest sofa. When he heard that it hadn't started yet, he smiled and said: "Lause, I have to say, I like your surprise. This is what I am I want a reaction from the world! I want to tell this.World, never underestimate young people, especially the movie boy named Ye Wei. "
Rouse nodded convincingly, and Leslie next to him suddenly said: "Rouse, this is also included in the exclusive interview, right?" I can't help it, his words are great!
Being confident but not arrogant and stupid, leading young people to speak to the world will be loved by their peers and appreciated by older people.
"Okay, okay." Rouse responded and recorded it into his laptop.
¡¡
Reporter Rouse: "At the age of 16, you have talents comparable to those of professional filmmakers. How did you achieve this?"
Ye Wei: "My father is a movie lover. Under his influence, I started to get involved in film production at a very young age. I started shooting some home videos using Super 8 and DV when I was 10 years old. I started making short stories at the age of 13. "Dance of Angels" was my first challenge to a professional short film, and it was pretty good."
In the Coppola family manor, many members were lively sitting at the breakfast table in the dining room. Coppola, the master, saw his granddaughter reading the newspaper without eating, and frowned, "Gia?"
¡°You¡¯re doing pretty well,¡± is this Asian modesty? It¡¯s so arrogant! Gia picked up the croissant and took a bite, her eyes kept staring at the newspaper. She also studied film since she was a child. She also grew up on the set. She guest-starred in "New York Story" when she was more than 10 years old and "The Godfather Part 3" when she was 3 years old.
First it was my grandfather¡¯s set, and in recent years it was my aunt¡¯s set¡ But there is such a big gap in the level of her short films.
"Dad never talks about business while eating." Sofia Coppola over there joked, "Gia, stop reading now. Watch after breakfast."
"Grandpa, are we actually a mafia family?" Gia suddenly asked.
Coppola was stunned, "What?"
¡°Tie this kid up and bring him to me!¡±
¡¡
Reporter Rouse: "Did you have any funding problems with the short film? How did you solve it?"
Ye Wei: "If I can do it myself, I will do it myself. It is because I have no money that I become the director myself (laughs). It is also because I have received free help from many people, including the use of photographic equipment! I was even lucky enough to contact Phil Collins. Sir, got a free license to his "You'll-Be-In-My-Heart", so the cost of "Angel Dance" was next to nothing, thanks to them."
Reporter Rouse: "The script is also free, right? Is there any reason for creating this script?"
Ye Wei: "The inspiration for the story comes from my three-year-old sister Dorothy and my puppy Toto. That day I saw Dorothy accidentally falling while running. Toto went up to comfort her, but she stood up and ran again. . Ordinary moments moved me so much, and they are my muses.¡±
In Brentwood, Ye¡¯s dining room, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were reading the newspaper, both with happy smiles on their faces.
"Duoduo, your brother said you are the muse."
"Where?" Duoduo happily took the newspaper, looked presentable, and suddenly said in shock: "Mouse? Brother, I am not a mouse, it was Toto who ate your candy!"
Both the couple laughed at their daughter's cuteness. Gu Qiao explained with a smile: "Mouse also has the letter O. This is Muse, a goddess."
"Where is the mouse? Who did I hear saying that I was a mouse?"
At the door of the backyard, Ye Wei, wearing a jersey, rushed in with a big smile, and Toto followed closely, as if facing a formidable enemy! mouse!
¡¡
Reporter Rouse: "You must be the youngest one on the set. Do you feel pressure to lead so many crew members who are older than you? Are there any difficulties?"
Ye Wei: "I think they are more stressed. I will remind them of their terrible graduation prom (laughing). So I have two principles for building a team. One is to try not to find old stubborns as much as possible, and the other is to try to find people who are better than me." Younger kids, like AnnaSophia Robb, all she can do is look up at me, otherwise she won't see that I'm actually distracted."
"Hahaha!" Louisiana, on the set of "It's All Daisy's Trouble", Anna read the newspaper she finally bought in her hand, she really missed that damn guy!
Looking at his handsome photo in the newspaper, she smiled and sent him a text message on her mobile phone: "I'm looking at you! Looking down!"
¡¡
Reporter Rouse: "You also do what ordinary teenagers do, right? Play and fall in love? Are you in love?"
When she saw this question in the spacious dining room of the house, Lily's heart suddenly became nervous. She held the newspaper with both hands a little harder, not knowing what she was expecting
Ye Wei: "I am not a camera, of course I am a teenager. I often do stupid things with my friends, which always makes usGain a lot from having fun. I am still single for the time being. My friends call me the ¡®Asian version of George Clooney¡¯, but actually I hate George Clooney because I am the son of a dentist. "
Lily smiled, looked at "Still Single for the Time Being" a few more times, her heartbeat was fast, she took a breath and continued reading.
Reporter Rouse: ¡°Tell me about Snow White in your mind?¡±
Ye Wei: "Loves to laugh, is kind, and confident. He will do a lot of crazy things with me, and he can also tolerate some of my shortcomings. For example, in his love letter, he wrote Snow-White to look like Show-White. ).¡±
"Hahaha!" Lily couldn't help laughing. This bastard dared to joke like this in an interview. Is it really okay?
Reporter Rouse: "I'm very interested in your genius and stupidity, can you tell me about it?"
Ye Wei (laughing): "Well, a few days ago, we shouted to a squirrel on the tree, 'Do you want Nut?' and it actually rushed down and wanted to carry us back (nerdy Nut)."
"Haha, it looks real, that idiot can definitely do it, haha!"
¡¡
There are many people who are amused by Ye Wei's humor. The more people laugh, the more interested they are in him, especially young people.
"Princess Lubai, this guy is so interesting!"
"Isn't he an Asian boy? Why don't I know such an Asian boy?"
"He is an Asian boy!! I have been on his personal website for a long time, and there are some of his articles on it, which are more interesting than this interview."
He is also a film genius, young, humorous, academically good, and handsome! I can also exercise!
Reporter Rouse: "Are you still an athlete?" Note: Ye Wei is the captain of the second football team of Harvard-Westlake School. He just led the team to win the league championship this school year. He scored 27 goals and 15 assists this season.
Ye Wei: "After the Super Bowl incident, I had this opportunity. Many friends said to me, 'I don't dare to watch football anymore, football is better.' Yes, come and watch the football game. I guarantee that during the halftime break, a Celebrities won¡¯t come to perform.¡±
Reporter Rouse: ¡°Do you know how to do Chinese Kung Fu?¡±
Ye Wei: "Some, my grandfather was a Chinese Allied soldier in World War II. He taught me when he was alive. Knowing Kung Fu makes me more confident. After all, if you look at other people, you will feel that they are much weaker."
Reporter Rouse: ¡°What does being Asian mean to you?¡±
Ye Wei: "It means who I am. I am proud that I am an Asian American. I have the flesh and blood of Eastern culture and the blood of American culture. This multi-facetedness does not confuse me, but makes me better." understand this human world.
But growing up, I often encountered racial discrimination, which was difficult at times. No matter what, we just can't be defeated by ugliness, don't give in to those people, continue to do the right thing, be yourself, a unique existence in the world. "
The Asian teenagers who read this paragraph were immediately inspired and excited.
??Is an Asian youth idol finally coming?
¡¡
Reporter Rouse: "You have made an excellent start on the road to making movies. What are your creative plans next?"
Ye Wei: "Making movies is my dream and my lifelong lover, so I will definitely continue. I am already preparing two new projects, one is a new film produced and directed by me; the other is a pair of This is a remake of a comedy film, written, produced, shot and performed by me in new scenes, which will be released to everyone soon and is expected to be completed this summer. "
Reporter Rouse: "Two projects? Feature film!? This is amazing."
Ye Wei: "Spielberg could do it even when he was a teenager with poor technology. I can't find any reason to say no. I believe there will be many new challenges, but I am ready."
The scale of this answer was designed by the team. It did not reveal the shocking news of "Little Miss Sunshine" at once. It seemed that it was just the level of Spielberg's filmmaking when he was a teenager. People would accept it and have expectations and interest in wanting to know his future. performance.
When people are slowly familiar with him, know how talented he is, and his expectations for him are even higher. He feels that "he tries to be professional and reasonable" before he announces it more exciting!
"Wow, this guy won't stop. You can see his new work in the summer! There will also be performances from him! Is it just a remake of some movie?"
¡°You can do so much at the age of 16, you¡¯re an Asian smart guy! I hate him!¡±
"I love him! Ye Wei, I love him!"
"It's really interesting. Is there an explosion of geniuses recently? There are so many geniuses!"
??"Can he sing? Does he have a song plan? Why didn't he write it"
¡¡
Reporter Rouse: ¡°Do you have any goals for yourself?¡±
Ye Wei: "My goal is very simple. Stick to your dreams, and people who expect me will be pleasantly surprised in the end. People who look down on me will be disappointed in the end."
On the advancing yellow school bus, as Lev roared out the last question and answer, applause immediately broke out in the carriage, and the students on the seats applauded and said with laughter: "Until now, VIY has definitely done it! ", "A!", "You're such a nerd!", "Super cool!"
In different places, people reading newspapers have different expressions.
Tom Hanks is laughing happily, and the big plan has taken a solid step; Willis tore the newspaper into pieces and gasped angrily; John Williams looked frustrated, then turned to look disgusted Lawyer Salton was in a good mood, wearing a somewhat coquettish red and white striped tie.
In a corner of the streets of Los Angeles, Kevin Thomas¡¯s hands were trembling and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It was over. He knew that the end of his career was not far away
"Hehehe!" The old principal smiled happily. He is a good student and a living sign!
Countless young people (mostly girls) have begun to like this talented young man named VIY. He is so unique and awesome! In this era, in any era, there seems to be only one, a 16-year-old movie kid!
A little Spielberg? No, he is too cool, he is VIY! A shining new star suddenly appeared in the sky! An idol who comes with sunshine!
"Hey sisters, today's "Los Angeles Times" introduced an Asian teenage boy. I was a little fascinated. Have you heard about it?"
"Asian boys? Are you serious?"
"He is a movie genius! When he was 16 years old, Sofia Coppola, the talented girl that the news talks about all day long, did not have his achievements. Spielberg seems to be able, but he still has the opportunity to do more! Everyone, the key is Yes, he is really hot He doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend yet!¡±
"Who is it?"
"VIY, his name is VIY!"
In the western United States, a youth storm has quietly arisen, and the positive Q-point experience value of "Genius Ye Wei" is skyrocketing!
¡¡
¡°That guy¡¯s interview is out.¡±
"Let's take action."
¡¡
"Grandpa, are we really not a mafia? You don't have to tell me, I just want you to give him a horse head, write on it, it's from Master Giya!"
