Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the weekend of June 2nd and 27th passed, the total box office of "Wedding Day" officially joined the 20 million club, and it is still going on.

    And its CHLT side has begun to appear. On HPIY and other websites, IC-derived culture has quietly taken root on the Internet. Characters such as God of Wedding, Ragdoll Bear, and Carter have their own fans, and some people draw pictures for them.  Forum comics, non-profit games

    Some golden sayings are also being circulated, which is called cult style.

    Playtone sees business opportunities in this. Obviously with the higher box office of "Wedding Day" and future DVD sales, it will become more and more CHLT and has a group of devout believers. Then its peripheral products can be made, such as Ragdoll Bears.  Dolls (i.e., ragdoll bears designed by prop designers that belong only to IC), and those weird angel wings, will definitely be sold during Halloween this year.

    Why in the 21st century, box office is no longer the biggest profit for popular films, because the all-pervasive Hollywood distribution machine will make all the money.

    Of course, Playtone is still looking for distributors to cooperate. The IP distribution is only for North American theaters, DVDs and TV broadcasts. It is busy with overseas distribution and has to find other companies.

    No matter what, a new CHLT film culture "IC Cult" has been born, and its leader's name is Ye Wei.

    Ye Wei's fans around the world are also increasing day by day. For example, in China, an interview with him was published on Sina.com. He can be said to be very popular on the Chinese Internet. Although his haters are also increasing, it doesn't matter if he understands Chinese.  Like this, come back to China to make a movie, this is what you really mean

    "If he really returns to China, the haters will definitely say with disdain, "Look, he can't survive in the United States. It's a disgrace."

    Those who are black will continue to be black, and those who are sweet will continue to be sweet. Brother Wei, we support you.

    The new week has just begun, and a piece of news that has been predicted for a long time, but is still shocking to the world, suddenly arrives.

    Pretong announced to the media and public that it will invest in Ye Wei's new film project "Little Miss Sunlight". He will serve as the first producer and director. It will be his feature film debut in the strict sense, with a budget of more than 600,000 US dollars.

    Playtone head and project producer Gary Goetzman revealed to the media: "Actually, we confirmed this cooperation before we remade "The Wedding Day". This was the first project that impressed Ye Wei, and we have always been aware of it.  He's so talented and he's going to really shine in Little Miss Daylight, no doubt about it."

    Ye Wei expressed with confidence: "Thank you for getting this opportunity, it is very wonderful. I know that I am doing something that has never been done before, and it will not be easy, but I am ready."

    This project has not yet determined a specific release date. Not much is known to the outside world, except that it is a script by newcomer screenwriter Michael Arndt. There is a legendary story behind the script, including several years of revisions, the abandonment of Focus, and Ye Wei  After being attracted by the film, he raised 60,000 yuan through crowdfunding on campus to buy it. He then used "Dance of Angels" and this script to look for investment, but was rejected many times, and finally moved Hanks.

    Because it was just an announcement, not even a preparation period, these stories were not widely publicized. Even so, the media and public could still feel the twists and turns of the period.

    This is the new project he has mentioned many times. At only 6 years old, he is leading the production of a new family comedy film with a budget of 600,000.

    After the shock to the outside world, many questions followed. VIY has just finished remaking "Wedding Day is Coming". Does VIY have the creative energy?  I'm in tenth grade again. Can I take care of my studies at the same time?

    In this regard, Ye Wei also said that his studies will not be affected, and the filming period will be arranged during the holidays. As for "do you want to take a break", he said, "I have a rest every night, and occasionally I go out to bite someone and suck some blood."  ¡±

    With the breakthrough of "Wedding Day is Coming", the main voice from the outside world is indeed not doubt, but surprise and expectation. The prodigy will shine even more brightly.

    But of course there are also disapproving voices of doubt and even ridicule. There is a big difference between a spoof film and a comedy. If it is a completely new film, no matter how talented Ye Wei is, it is too forward-thinking and too stupid. Hanks is  He harmed himself and Ye Wei.

    Some people say it¡¯s good, while others say it¡¯s not. And the investor situation of Little Miss Sunshine, which many insiders are very concerned about, has also come to light.

    The current film producers include Playtone, DreamWorks, and DreamChasing Alliance.

    In addition, what few people know is that James Shams has decided to join the game. The outside world will not care about this, but his merits and demerits are commented on in the circle.

    After David Lind learned about it, he was very angry and believed that Shams' move had harmed the interests of Focus. However, Shams had reported the situation to Global executives earlier, including the possible distribution rights and his friendship with VIYR  The attitude of the top management is calm, but the question is, can "Little Miss Sunshine" be successful?

    ????????? Only if it succeeds, the friendship Shamus said is valuable, otherwise who cares.

    Who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, will have to wait until the daylight fadesThe answer will come when "Beauty" comes out.

    The period of most work for a producer is usually the preparation period. As a result, Shamus could only hold the title of assistant producer. Ye Wei continued to look for a second producer. Both Gotzman and Shamus recommended some candidates.  But he wasn't very satisfied.

    But now the cast has one more member, the master from the vineyard, Gia Coppola.

    She will continue to be Ye Wei's special assistant for free. "If you don't follow me, you will be so embarrassed on the set that you will be laughed to death." It's free anyway. If you suddenly want to eat something, you still need someone to do the errands. Ye Wei waved his hand and it was accurate.  Got it

    But this summer, Master Gia cannot be a follower because she is diligently studying for classes to return to school. Her goal isthe tenth grade of Harvard-Westlake High School.

    Ye Wei was about to attend a small private party that day. Since he became famous, he has been approached by many banquets, parties and activities, including charity, business, socializing, fun, etc. Brian refused to give him a chance.  layer, he himself refused to drop one layer, and there was not much left, almost all of which were charity activities.

    But this small party is an invitation from Hanks. It¡¯s at Hanks¡¯ family¡¯s beach house in Pacific Palisades, so of course he¡¯s going.

    It has been a month since "Wedding Day" was released. Apart from several phone calls and text messages, Ye Wei and Hanks have not met in person. However, this gathering was not just at his and Hanks' house, but also at their house.  He was surprised and excited when he heardJulia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder

    Roberts is also a client of CAAR, and her agent is Kevin Howien, another ace agent. She seems to have a good relationship with the Hanks family.

    The reason why Ye Wei is excited is naturally because Julia Roberts is a member of the "Little Miss Sunshine" perfect cast. This is undoubtedly an opportunity to get to know and communicate with each other.

    To be honest, although he has achieved some results, the difficulty of inviting superstars to star has not been reduced much. And the difficulty for Roberts has been much higher than at the beginning of the year because she is pregnant for the first time and her due date is in October this year.  She has already announced to the outside world that her focus in the next few years will be on her children and family, so she currently does not have any film appointments and is basically inactive.  It¡¯s super difficult to be the one who invites her to come back after giving birth.

    ¡°Julia wants to get to know you.¡±

    Hanks¡¯ joke made Ye Wei stunned. He didn¡¯t want to say he was flattered. It felt very close. That was Julia Roberts.

    She has an Oscar for Best Actress and two nominations (one each for Leading Actress and Supporting Actress). She starred in a film with a North American box office of over one billion US dollars, "The Goddess of the Nation", a member of the 260,000 salary club, and the highest-paid and highest-status woman in Hollywood.  actress julia roberts

    Such a big man, if you have a big belly, want to know him?  Damn it

    Hanks' next words dispelled his surprise: "Julia's niece Emma will also come. She is 13 years old. She wants you to get to know each other. You are both young people who want to develop into the film and television industry. Maybe there will be any opportunities for cooperation in the future.  But, Julia has always admired you. She liked "Dance of the Angels" very much, which made her directly choose AnnaSophia Robb to star in "Samantha: An American Girl's Vacation", which was her company's film  ¡±

    Ye Wei understood immediately.

    This was a pre-existing relationship between him and Roberts. Roberts, her sister Lisa Roberts-Gillian and others jointly opened a production company, CMPthm. Since its establishment, it has participated in two major productions of revolutionary films.  "Cinderella in Manhattan" in 2003 (cost 2.6 million) and "Mona Lisa Smile" in 203 (cost 3.6 million).

    The former is still Wang Ying's commercially famous film in Hollywood, and the performance is good, which also gives him the opportunity to direct "It's All Dai Qian's fault"; but the performance of the latter is mediocre, so the popularity of the movie has become smaller immediately.  , this year the first production site only produced a small-budget TV movie "Samantha", and the Roberts sisters are its producers.

    AnnaSofia won the starring role so easily because of Wang Ying's recommendation, her performance in "Dancing Angels" and her own excellent audition.

    Regardless of whether Roberts has admired him for a long time, now he has emerged. Roberts, who has always done his best for his niece, even if he is pregnant, don't miss the opportunity and be friends now. If he can really grow into a character in the future, Emma's opportunity  More.

    Emma Roberts, Ye Wei's understanding of her is limited to some "stereotypes". Roberts's niece, her parents divorced when she was young, and she lost custody because her father was addicted to drugs. She was actually raised by Roberts, and she began to step onto the screen in the past few years.  , Roberts plays the role of patron saint and pioneer, so the media cannot help but say that she relies on nepotism.

    That¡¯s it.  Do you know me?  This was an ordinary interpersonal communication, so he didn't have to think about it. He answered Hanks with a smile: "Okay, I'm happy to."

    The key is not to meet new friends, but to have a rare lobbying opportunity

    Before departure on this dayWhen we arrived at Hanks' house, Ye Wei had already done enough homework.
