    In the spacious and classical hall, Ye Wei looked at Julia Roberts on the sofa opposite with an expectant smile, as if time had frozen, and only his mind was spinning at high speed:

    Hanks knew that there was no suitable role for Emma in the script. Roberts had probably asked Hanks, and no matter how Hanks answered her, she ended up asking me personally.  If Roberts knew it was a difficult thing but still asked, then she obviously had a second step.

    When I say "no", will she say, "Can I find a way to make Emma show up?" Then should she continue to refuse or say yes?  Hanks obviously wanted my answer to make everyone happy, otherwise he wouldn't walk away.

    So refusing will only make you an ignorant fool. In this case, why say no once?

    But he couldn't think of a perfect solution for a while, and thinking about it for a long time would seem insincere. Ye Wei seemed to be stunned, and then asked: "Emma is interested in starring in my new film?" He continued to think about it for a moment  ¡­

    Roberts chuckled and whispered: "Don't tell her that I told you that she likes and appreciates you very much. She has been since watching "Angel Dance". Of course she is interested."

    Really?  Ye Wei didn't fully believe it, nor did he not believe it. Anyway, Emma is a big shot, "Then I really want to thank her."

    "Emma has confirmed to star in a new Nickelodeon drama "Ufabu". This will be the focus of her work in the next few years. My plan for her is to first make a name for herself among young audiences while accumulating acting experience. In a few years,  She will also work in suitable movies during the period when she will focus on the silver screen. If she can join your movie, that would be great."

    As a fledgling teenage actor, being able to share the brilliance of a young genius and star in a much-anticipated prodigy movie is a win from any perspective.

    Even if "Little Miss Daylight" was messed up, no one would blame it on a guest actor. A teenage actress who guest stars in a movie directed by a teenager will not be called stupid. It will only make the public think that she is the same as the genius, upright, sweet, and  Talented and promising.

    Roberts said in a self-deprecating tone: "Weige, Emma doesn't know this. She doesn't like me helping her like this. No matter whether it works or not, please don't tell her. This is our business."

    "I understand." Ye Wei nodded, "I appreciate Emma's mentality. I mean, the help of her elders can make her journey easier at the beginning, but then she has to rely on herself. If she thinks  If she relies on her elders, she won't get far, but she doesn't. I believe she will achieve something."

    Roberts liked hearing this and said: "Emma's talent and hard work have always made me proud."

    Ye Wei doesn¡¯t know whether she works hard or not, but she is indeed very talented. Her three screen performances have lived up to her last name, which makes people lament the power of genes.

    With his mind still spinning, Roberts¡¯ words made him understand that as long as Emma made a cameo, he suddenly had an idea in his mind

    At the moment he smiled and said: "Yeah, don't tell her, I watched "Newborn" two years ago and was really amazed by her simplicity and romance."

    "Haha." Roberts listened happily.

    It is very easy for big shots who have been around for a long time to distinguish which words are compliments and which ones are the truth.  Therefore, Ye Wei's strategy has always been to base compliments on true feelings. He did his homework before and watched "Newborn". He couldn't even talk about how stunning Emma Roberts' performance was, but he thought she was quite cute.  Very good acting

    With a sincere voice and a happy look, he continued: "I have actually had a wish to cooperate with Emma for a long time, but"

    When he heard the word "BHT", Roberts, who was all smiles, frowned slightly. BHT is H.

    "But there is no role suitable for her in the script of "Little Miss Sunlight". Any role is not her age or image. Even if it is a supporting role, there is no such role at all, but"

    Hearing the second "BHT", Roberts' smile gradually faded and he was confused, but what?

    Ye Wei kept talking: "I really want to work with her, so I thought I could rewrite a scene and let Emma play a cameo role. The scene was in a restaurant, and the protagonists and their families were ordering food and arguing about their little daughter.  'Oliver, is the ice cream good?'  Ice cream will become like her."

    Roberts couldn't help but wonder: "Change the waiter to suit Emma's image?" We can't let Emma appear on the screen as a chubby girl.

    "No." Ye Wei shook his head, "The role of the waiter is very important. She is fat and at the bottom, but she is very happy. I want to add an extra slender and beautiful girl to serve as a double foil, eating ice cream and not eating ice cream  How about the people, the girl is played by Emma, ??she is reading a book and drinking coffee at the next table."

    Good idea Roberts¡¯ smile returned, interested.??: ¡°Can you tell me more about that scene?¡±

    I've been waiting for you all day today. Ye Wei shouted excitedly in his heart. Roberts must have heard Hanks or someone tell him the outline of "Little Miss Daylight". He probably hasn't read the detailed script, or maybe he has.  , now is a good opportunity for promotion

    "That scene was very interesting. I should say that the entire script was extremely interesting. It was created by many people for more than three years. It was not changed. Instead, every scene was written very exquisitely and combined into a powerful story.  The story, it¡¯s an Oscar-winning original screenplay, and I know that Samjourdes is also interested in directing it.¡±

    Roberts may not be unaware of this information, but from what Ye Wei said, the appeal of "Little Miss Sunshine" must have increased.

    "The scene in the restaurant was when they were ordering food. Olive wanted to eat ice cream. Her mother, Cheryl, supported it, but her father, Richard, objected. These are the two most important points, representing each of their different attitudes towards life.  , Cheryl thinks that being fat means being fat, and don¡¯t care about other people¡¯s opinions, just do what you want to do; Richard thinks that being fat means failure, and if you want to succeed, you can¡¯t do what you want to do, and you can only follow his rules of success.  Do.

    At the end, there will be a scene that echoes each other. Richard offers to eat ice cream, and both of them have changed.

    Talking about that scene, they actually had a quarrel. I would add some lines to it to create the effect that they were talking impolitely about others, mainly Richard, who ate ice cream like the waiter, and who didn¡¯t eat ice cream looked like the guy next to him.  Little lady.  Here I will focus on Emma's perspective, they are talking, and she can actually hear it, using her expressions and reactions to highlight the weirdness of the family and run the comedy atmosphere of the film.  "

    When talking about how to make a movie, that is the most eloquent VIY. Ye Wei followed the inspiration and started to gesture towards the camera with a little excitement:

    "So Emma is not just a passerby with only one or two shots, making it difficult to leave an impression. She should have four or five close-ups or close-ups, and one or two lines of dialogue. She has room to perform.  And the audience will definitely be impressed.¡±

    Of course it¡¯s good to have a good impression, but if you have a good impression, Roberts asked again: ¡°She¡¯s not a villain, right?¡± I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s a mean girl who doesn¡¯t eat ice cream, but that won¡¯t work. Emma¡¯s screen image is that of a sweetheart and good girl.

    "No." How could Ye Wei be so stupid and continued: "She is decent. I haven't thought of her lines yet. I have to ask the screenwriter Michael Rivert for his opinion. We will change it to the best together.  The idea is that Emma got up to leave, and she said to the family, "I eat ice cream too," or said to Oliver, "No matter what your father said, you are beautiful," and her lines would touch on the theme: Eat  It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t eat ice cream, it doesn¡¯t matter if you are fat or thin, you are most beautiful when you are happy.¡±

    ¡°This is really good,¡± Roberts couldn¡¯t help but admire, grinning to the extreme. He was not only satisfied but also surprised.

    There is no need to know the specific story, just this scene, just listening to Ye Wei¡¯s narration, she knows that Emma¡¯s character can be an outstanding character, beautiful, kind, and interesting.

    Think about how Emma¡¯s words made the protagonists surprised and embarrassed. If this is not impressive, then it is really her own problem.

    What also makes Roberts happy is that she sees some of the qualities in this child prodigy that she has seen in good directors such as Steven Soderbergh.

    In fact, she had known for a long time that there was no suitable role for Emma in the script, and she was ready to lobby Ye Wei to add a role for Emma somewhere in the script. You could also see his surprise and thinking at the beginning, as if he didn't know what to do, but in a short time  In just a short while, he solved it perfectly, not only allowing Emma to make a cameo, but also making the script better. This is talent.

    "And he didn't embarrass her at all. He was smart and caring; from the beginning to the end, he showed his confidence, passion and professionalism.

    With such a producer and director, "Little Miss Daylight" may not become a classic, but it will never be a bad movie. Emma's guest appearance is zero risk and high reward.

    "I think it's good. The question is whether Emma will agree." Ye Wei shrugged and smiled, as if he was begging Emma to make a cameo. In fact, it was almost the same now. Roberts said, "Forget it." He would  Said "No, Emma has to make a cameo".

    He has what the big shot wants, and the big shot also has what he wants. Only by giving it can he get it.  Welcome to be a producer

    "It's up to you to ask her." Roberts said with a smile and two rows of big white teeth, "Don't let her know that this was my idea."

    Ye Wei nodded silently, but had other thoughts in his heart. Knowing that Emma knew was not the problem, her getting angry was the problem. But what if she knew, instead of getting angry with her aunt, she would thank her aunt for her good intentions?  What about saying to her aunt, "VIYR spoon words make me understand, aunt, you are so kind"?

    Will Roberts be surprised or depressed?  He thinks he will be pleasantly surprised, if he is even a little touchedhehe

    thisThere is no need to say these words to Roberts, lest she arouse suspicion and think he is nosy.  Ye Wei only said: "Julia, you really came up with a good idea."

    It¡¯s time to say what you want. Once Emma or Hanks come back, there will be no chance today.  Naturally, I have told others about my "ALt" in my heart before. Maybe Roberts already knows that that kid is staring at you.

    Ye Wei changed her sitting position and said with a smile: "I also have an idea. In fact, there is a character based on you in the script, the heroine, the mother of the family, Cheryl."

    Sure enough, Roberts was not surprised when he heard this and laughed: "You are still inviting Tom to play the leading role, right? You are so brave."

    A true debut film by a 6-year-old boy. It also invites the most expensive actors and actresses in Hollywood to star in it. It is so bold that it dares to go to the moon.

    "Haha" Ye Wei also laughed. This "Haevu" was a rather intimate joke, which showed that Roberts was not disgusted with his invitation. His good impression and Emma's guest appearance obviously played a key role.

    Then implement this invitation, he said excitedly: "Sometimes I will be scared by my own ideas. Maybe newcomers are like this. They only think about how to make the best film, even if they know that some ideas are not practical.  , I have to give it a try, and there will be those amazing debut works. Newbies are free.

    So I don¡¯t care how high your salary is, I only know that you are the best as Cheryl, and the same goes for Tom as Richard. I get excited just thinking about your on-screen chemistry. The whole world wants to see you.  cooperation¡±

    Roberts's smile remained unchanged, but his tone was polite: "Now the salary does not determine whether I take a role, it all depends on interest. In fact, I am quite interested in "Little Miss Daylight", and collaborate with Tom? One day, it can't be  That¡¯s all for now.¡±

    She looked down at her belly, caressed it and said, "I am already a mother, and my children and family are my first priority."

    "Of course." An alarm sounded in Ye Wei's heart, saying that the salary was really not a smart choice, Duoduo, you are going to come out and give your brother a hand again.

    "I didn't really understand the greatness of my mother before, until my sister Dorothy was born. She is now half a year old. I watched with my own eyes how my mother raised her from a little dough to a little bit like a little bitch now.  Little monkey."

    He gestured wildly, feeling really emotional: "My mother, with her talents, she could have a very good job as a translator. She might travel all over the world and live a prosperous life, but she is willing to put herself  All contributions to the family.

    When Dorothy was just born, our whole family was tormented by her. She would cry erratically, especially when she slept well in the middle of the night, which would wake the whole family up. My mother took care of me the most, and she worked so hard that it made me uncomfortable.  At that time I couldn't help but ask her, don't you regret it?  You can obviously be a successful person, but you have become a housewife.  "

    Perhaps there was a resonance, Roberts was slightly moved, wanting to know his mother's answer.

    "She said that I am already a successful person, and all a woman wants is a family."

    Seeing Roberts nodding involuntarily, Ye Wei felt relieved and continued to sigh: "I just thought that mothers can really sacrifice everything for their children. Today you made me more sure of this. Speaking of which, "Little Miss Sunshine" is also about this.  ,Private life is the most important, public life is not.¡±

    "This concept is very correct." Roberts agreed.

    "Yes, especially in the Internet age, more and more people have a public life, such as opening a blog or a personal website. Public life is one thing, but private life that others cannot see is another.  , what is the definition of success and failure? Glorious public life, but troubled private life? The story of "Little Miss Sunlight" has caught up with the times that are most suitable for it, and the audience will be very happy.  Have feelings.¡±

    Ye Wei took the opportunity to make a sales pitch, and then said: "I just want you to understand that I am not fooling around. I have seriously considered inviting you. The schedule, daily working hours, etc. can all be adjusted for you. Get you in  Balance between family and work.¡±

    He said with a smile, "Of course this is just a bold newbie attempt on my part. Only after I try can I feel at ease, no matter what your answer is."

    It sounds easy to say it, but in fact, my heart strings are tense, and the words have come to this point. If Roberts directly says no, there is really no chance. Don¡¯t waste your energy as soon as possible.

    Roberts opened his mouth to say something.
