Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a day, the crew of "Wedding Day is Coming" finally got used to Ye Wei's new action, and when he shouted Fire, he showed a bit of coolness.

    Darum and the others were very curious. After finishing the work, they asked Ye Wei why he was so interested. He only smiled and said, "Filmmakers, talk about movies." Don't let the veterans despise it!

    In fact, what veterans are most concerned about is VIY¡¯s talent. Is it really professional?  What a genius?  Can you really lead a professional film set?  Although he has "Dance of Angels" and his outstanding performance in the early preparations, until now, no veteran has not felt a little uneasy.

    Yes, many of them are already on the fringes of the film industry, about to be eliminated, and will not get any decent opportunities, but who would be willing to do so?  No one will.

    Peter Heller and Sean Maurer are old friends because they worked together in "Jordan's Descendants". In the evening, the two went to the "Wine Bar" in Santa Monica for a drink.

    The light in the bar was dim, illuminated by an oil lamp on each wine table. The customers were drinking and laughing, and they were sitting at a table against the wall, drinking bright red wine.

    "Sean, the world is unpredictable." Heller looked a little drunk on his face, shaking the wine glass, "How could we have thought that today would happen two years ago."

    "We all know that this is a cruel industry." Maurer shook his head mockingly, "Our luck is not bad enough. Many people don't even get such an opportunity."

    The two of them were really moved. Thinking about when they first produced "Jordan's Descendants", who was not full of expectations and had a production budget of 30 million!  NBA Entertainment participated in the investment and invited NBA superstars such as Allen Iverson to guest star. They all felt that they were about to become famous.

    Unexpectedly, it failed at the box office after it was released, and the movie reviews were also bad, with only a failing 5 points on IMDb.

    Director John Schultz and first producer Barry Josephson were able to protect themselves, but they became scapegoats. This time they collaborated again, but they were working for a kid.

    A movie boy who is only a few days older than Brenda Song!  A remake of a really bad movie!  Do you think things are unpredictable?

    "Opportunity, opportunity" Heller repeated the word, took a sip of wine, and sighed: "Such an opportunity! Remaking a bad movie for a 16-year-old kid."

    Maurer was silent for a moment. After all, the 16-year-old kid was the boss, and people would always be wary of saying bad things about him. However, because they were old friends, they had no conflict of interest, so he said: "This is the best I have gotten in the past two years."  It¡¯s a chance, at least it¡¯s a movie project, don¡¯t you think so?¡±

    "To be honest, I really don't know." Heller's eyes were filled with confusion. "I joined because I was interested and also needed a job. I haven't had a job for a long time."

    His wry smile showed dejection, "There seems to be no success factor in this project The problem lies with our boss. We have been filming for a day. What do you think of him?"

    "Our boss" Maurer raised a glass and drank, looked at the flickering light of the oil lamp, thinking about today's shooting, and said: "He is indeed a professional director, full of passion and many talents. His  The talent is really not comparable to that of John Schulz. I can¡¯t say for sure He obviously has a style. You know that mediocre directors are mediocre in everything, but good directors always have a strong personal style in their shots. I see  Yes, VIY has such signs.¡±

    "Fire?" Heller said suddenly, and both of them laughed immediately. VIY was really a little anxious about this matter. The director's personal logo is formed slowly, and it can't change suddenly.

    Maurer smiled and said: "I think it was Gia Coppola who taught him, let's play tricks on April Fool's Day today, young people like to play tricks" Speaking of April Fool's Day, he suddenly felt some emotion: "It's really  Amazing, he¡¯s only 16, an April Fool¡¯s joke?¡±

    "A 16-year-old genius." When Heller thought about this, he felt uneasy. "If there are no results this time, I may have to leave the entertainment industry and do something else."

    "Peter, there is no need to be so pessimistic. We all thought "Jordan's Descendants" would be successful. But what happened? We thought "Wedding Day" was not that good. Maybe it would be a big success and give us a new experience in the industry.  Location, haha!¡±

    "I don't dare to think too much." Heller was not optimistic. "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It is not easy to make something in the video disc market!"

    "I don't know about distribution, I just think Ye Wei's popularity has developed well, maybe it can really drive sales." Maurer said, and joked: "Maybe it can also collect some box office."

    "Hahaha!" Heller couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, drinking continuously. He had never had such an idea. He knew there would be a screening, but it was just to promote the video. In the endThe function of ?? is that there will be a few one-sentence movie reviews written by film critics on the DVD cover. Of course, only good words will be printed to encourage customers to pay for it.

    Released in theaters?  How much issuance fee will that cost?  Who will distribute it?  He smiled and said: "Old friend, don't think about this, it will damage your brain."

    "It's just a joke." Maurer toasted, without much thought, "Don't be so serious, we are making a spoof movie."

    In fact, as long as the response to the screening is acceptable, with a score of 60 or above, and the DVD sales are decent, they will be satisfied and they should be able to find a new job.

    Can VIY give it to them?  Who knows, things are unpredictable!

    ¡­¡­

    In previous years, April Fool's Day must have been Ye Wei's "performance time". This year, he was much more low-key. He only made some prank calls to his friends early in the morning and seriously said that he would go back to school at noon. The result was of course - he lied to you.  of!

    On April 2nd, Friday, early in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the crew of "Wedding Day is Coming" came to the beach in Santa Monica to continue work.

    About to start a day of shooting, Ye Wei discovered something strange. He saw Peter Heller holding a cowboy hat and walking around like a beggar. Those old fritters would smile when they saw it and took out a flower.  Write something on a banknote and put it into the hat.

    ???????????????? Darum and other college students also looked puzzled. They asked Heller something, and then they looked enlightened and interested, and then they did the same.

    If there were no Master Gia, Ye Wei would curiously walk up and ask what was going on. With Master Gia, of course he would ask the master. It is not easy to be a director.

    "Gia, what's going on?" He pulled Gia to the side and looked at Heller who was about to come over.

    Gia glanced at him disdainfully, "Call Master!"

    "OK, Monster." Ye Wei said sincerely. Seeing her narrowing her eyes, he added, "This is a Chinese accent, one of my personal symbols."

    Gia looked like a worldly expert who didn't care about him, and said calmly: "Kid, I really should charge you tuition. That's Five-dollar-Friady."

    "How to play?" Ye Wei's eyes lit up.

    "This is a custom on Hollywood sets that started when my grandfather was young. On the Friday at the end of the week, everyone on the set puts a five-dollar bill with their name on it.  Put it in a hat, and then at the end of the day, a lottery will be held, and whoever¡¯s name is drawn will get the money.¡±

    "Oh, I understand!" Ye Wei suddenly became very interested and said with a smile: "I have been very lucky recently. It seems that I will get an unexpected fortune today."

    Gia was scornful again, wagging her fingers like Mutombo, "You'd better not do that. There are two unspoken rules in this game. One, if online members don't participate, they will become misers that everyone hates.  ; Second, if they participate and win the prize, they can't take it away, unless you want to be a fool who is pointed at and scolded behind your back!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you are drawn, you ask to be drawn again, or use the money to treat everyone to food and beer, and don¡¯t take it away yourself.  "

    "Wow, there is a very profound truth in this." Ye Wei nodded. In fact, he could understand it without her teaching, because this is not a set culture, but a knowledge of how to behave in the world.

    ??The online members are the ones who make the most money in the crew, and they are still greedy for the five dollar Friday game bonus?  It would be strange not to be scolded.

    Ye Wei took out a five-dollar bill from his wallet and wrote VIY with a pen. He smiled and said: "Fortunately, I am not a miser like Grandet or Abagon. If you knew me before, I would scare you to death.  "

    Who is VIY?  VIY is someone who treats guests generously!  Let alone five dollars, drop five hundred dollars or five thousand dollars without blinking an eye.

    In fact, he has not changed this point until now. He is just trapped by life and can no longer be so forthright.

    "Peter, this is my share." At the moment, Ye Wei walked up with the money and stuffed the signed banknotes into the cowboy hat in Heller's hand, "I wish everyone good luck."

    Heller was quite surprised, as were Maurer and other old fritters around him, but when he saw Gia who was following him and also put the money in, he understood what was going on. GIA is really a good partner for VIY!

    Having such a special assistant should be a blessing.
