On Saturday, Ye Wei came to the "Cutter" studio again and was busy editing. Without Suzanne to help, the efficiency was naturally much slower, but at least the progress bar was moving forward.
Today is the 24th. If we continue at the current pace, the first version of the refined version will be completed around May 10th, and then we can start the sound effects and soundtrack work. Then we will continue to seize the time. There will be no problem in completing the production around the end of the month.
He wished he could finish it today, but he had a production rule that he would never violate: speed does not mean sacrificing quality.
There is another belief: Spending time may not necessarily result in a good movie, but the more time you spend, the greater the chance of making a good movie!
From morning to night, the day goes by and it turns into night. The phone on the desk suddenly vibrates. Whenever there is a call in the past few days, Ye Wei's heart will skip a beat. Fortunately, he sees that it is Brian calling, and then he relaxes. After taking a breath, he answered: "Hey Brian."
"Why haven't you come here yet? Hurry up."
"What? Where to go?"
¡°Of course it¡¯s my studio, hurry up and get your makeup set!¡±
"Why?" Ye Wei was confused when he heard it, and Brian on the other end said in surprise: "You won't forget, right? It's the CDF charity gala tonight!"
oh! Ye Wei suddenly remembered what Brian had told him a few days ago. The CDF (Children's Defense Fund) would hold a charity sale and cocktail party in Los Angeles and invited him to attend. The 10,000 yuan donated was donated to CDF.
He was so busy these days that he forgot about it. He looked at several screens and leaned back in his chair. He didn't want to waste a night, and he was not in the mood to go to a busy place, so he asked: "Can I not go? Wait until I have money. Donate directly to the children.¡±
"No!" Brian almost shouted. CDF has been established for more than 30 years. It is the largest non-profit child protection agency in the United States and one of the most influential charities in the United States. You must know that the founder Marian - Wright Edelman was once one of Martin Luther King's aides.
Countless Hollywood celebrities are loyal supporters of CDF. Charity is an indispensable activity for celebrities. Whether you are genuine or fake, doing these good deeds will only gain a good reputation, and attending the party is only the most basic thing. The best action is to go to Africa! Protect children or animals.
Ye Wei¡¯s public image is positive, so he needs to do charity even more. CDF invites him to go even if aliens invade the earth!
"However, becoming a well-known supporter of CDF is part of building your public image. This time they will invite you. You are really lucky, because they are going to recommend several young celebrities who are enthusiastic about public welfare to the media, you said Can you not go? With tonight, you will have the opportunity to attend CDF's annual 'Overcoming Difficulties' award ceremony."
Ye Weiyi thought that if he had more exposure, it would also promote "Wedding Day is Coming", "Okay."
"You can drive now, right? Come here now, we're going to be late!"
¡¡
Ye Wei first went to Brian's studio to prepare her outfit, and was driven to the Roosevelt Hotel in West Hollywood, where the charity gala was held, by one of Brian's assistants, Toson.
A few months ago, he went there to attend a salon as Spielberg's assistant for a day, but this time he came back as a "teenage star."
The party started at 19:30. When Ye Wei arrived at the hotel, it was not too late, just after 19:00.
This event is different from the salon in the circle. Many media reporters have already been waiting in the wide passage outside the banquet hall, just opposite the long blue and white promotional background board with the words "Children's-Defense-Fund" printed on it. When the celebrity guests enter the venue, they will stop where they want to and strike a pose, and their cameras will light up with flashes of light.
Ye Wei was wearing a simple black casual suit, dark gray trousers, and a pair of black Converse shoes with white laces. He had a smile on his face and looked a little cold compared to usual.
Thorson did not follow. Under the guidance of a staff member, he walked towards the background board in front.
The media reporters over there were not very excited when they saw him. Most of them had to think about it before they remembered who he was. The only Asian celebrity guest tonight was Ye Wei.
They obviously have similar ideas, Ye Wei? It seems to be quite popular recently, some kind of movie genius, some stories. And "Los Angeles Times" reporter Carl McMahon knows best, yes, VIY! This kid is already their movie version's darling, so I'll take a few more photos later.
Just as Ye Wei strode to the middle of the background board, the exposure lights flashed one by one, like a field of stars. At this time, another celebrity guest arrived, also a teenage star, Jeremy Sumpter!
The reporters¡¯ fingers that pressed the shutter immediately stopped. They all smiled and moved their cameras to the front of the background board, saying hello:"Peter Pan, good evening.", "Jeremy, you look good.", "You need to pose more."
Jeremy Sumpter, the 15-year-old curly-haired boy, starred in last year's blockbuster "Peter Pan" (the first Hollywood movie to cast an actor as Peter Pan), although the film was not a box office success ( 100 million production cost, 48 million North American box office), but it received unanimous praise from film critics and audiences. Sumpter's performance was even more widely praised, and he was nominated for his second Saturn Award for "Best Young Actor" , and is the favorite to win the award (awards will be awarded on May 5).
Therefore, his stardom is still very bright, and he has also been confirmed to star in CBS's new drama "Clubhouse" this fall.
Among celebrities of the same age, in terms of net worth, Q score, and number of fans, "Peter Pan" Sumpter is certainly far from the level of "Harry Potter" Daniel Radcliffe, but he is definitely a teenager. A shining star among celebrities is enough to overshadow the Asian guy next to him.
Sumpter walked to the front of the backdrop and stood there, with a smile on his handsome face, and waved his right hand to the reporters.
Click click click! The reporters pressed the shutter repeatedly, and the flash of light shone on Sumpter, and the corner of their eyes hit the black-haired boy in the middle of the frame a few steps away, and then disappeared without a trace.
Only Carl McMahon took a few more pictures before moving to the front section. Seeing Ye Wei become a poor guy who was quickly left out, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really embarrassing! It's like shouting "Hey guys, I'm here." And everyone is saying "Who are you?" and "No one is interested in you."
There is no way, Ye Wei's manuscript is very good, and the new remake of the film has also received some attention, but in terms of photo value, compared with Sumpter, he is only a small role.
If Daniel Radcliffe were standing here, Sumpter would be a minor player, and Ye Wei would be better than a passer-by.
At the same time, a staff member came up and took Ye Wei, who was looking calm, away from the background board and towards the banquet hall. His entrance ended in such a crude way, like a fool.
The flash only chases the hottest stars, always.
