After a weekend and Monday of hard work, under the guidance of Phil Collins, Ye Wei first wrote the lyrics, and then struggled to compose the music. He still had some talent in the former, but he was almost completely incompetent in the latter, but "the more capable he is, the more Small responsibilities bring smaller responsibilities." It doesn't matter if the melody is simple. As Phil said, "It's just noise."
Then Phil helped arrange the music, and then it was the official recording.
He had been exposed to professional recording before when he recorded narration and dubbing tracks for "Wedding Day is Coming", but it was not singing that really made him embarrassed. Fortunately, Phil still showed some skills because he couldn't stand it. He also has a musical foundation, and Having a strong professional team makes his beautiful voice more pure and magnetic. This is his only innate advantage in music.
After hellish efforts, Ye Wei finally completed his first professional song "c6cee1"
Yu6ce-c11 is both the song title and the memory point of the lyrics. 11 is an interesting word. It means cell, which fits the theme of the lyrics. I was infected by a virus called "you" and was invaded into the cells of my body; it It also means a tomb, which is consistent with the theme. You are the tomb of a bad boy, and I won¡¯t let you down when I meet you.
You are becoming my cells, you will be my tomb
¡°Yu6cee1 (You are becoming my cell)
H181rI,111e6caerceattfu1 (What a lovely girl, I will die because of your beauty)
Nce11 (There is no cure, I have to die)
N¡ª¡ªercr (I will be your hero from now on)
¡¡±
The young man¡¯s soulful singing voice resounded throughout the recording studio, and his shouts no longer screamed like ghosts and wolves, but were very pleasant to the ear, a professional recording studio production level.
Two happy bursts of laughter rang out one after another. Ye Wei and Phil clapped their hands and laughed again. Thinking about how Lily was moved and happy when she heard "c6cee1", they were so happy
"My manager Brian has been looking forward to me making a song to let everyone hear my musical talent, and finally completed the task"
"This song is okay. In fact, you are not that stupid. You are no worse than those Disney kids."
"It's not because you teach well."
"Hahaha"
"But the first listener of my single can only be your daughter, Lily Collins hahaha"
On the night of the 2nd, Ye Wei bid farewell to Phil who returned to England. They spent a few days together. The two talked about creation, Lily, and various aspects. They unexpectedly hit it off and became close friends. We will play together again when we have time. If there is an opportunity, we will collaborate on original songs for the film.
There are still a few days until Lily comes back, and Ye Wei is eagerly looking forward to it while actively making preparations for "Little Miss Sunlight".
This time the crew will be a general-sized Hollywood crew, with everything that should be included, but without losing simplicity:
The top of the pyramid is the "executive producer", the boss of the production team, who supervises all other producers, including Gary Goetzman and Tom Hanks.
The production team has a group of producers, Ye Wei, Peter Heller, and Mark Foligno, who are responsible for managing the entire production process of the film, including the early stage, shooting period, and post-production, handling business transactions, and ensuring production funds. The producer directly oversees the screenwriter, as well as the production director.
¡¤The production director is responsible for arranging the shooting schedule and meeting shooting needs, ¡ú deputy director (handling copywriting, coordinating the crew, and managing the set) ¡ú production assistant
¡°Of course there is also the director, the god on the set, the person who guides the actors¡¯ performances and makes decisions on film creation, Ye Wei.
The director has a lot to manage, which is divided into several major departments:
Styling department: makeup artist, hairstylist, costume designer, three different teams
Art department: art director/art director (the boss, designs the real environment of the script scene, and also manages the overall visual style of styling, photography, performance, etc.), prop artist, set designer, location scout, and scene builder
Photography department: Director of Photography (the middleman, responsible for the picture, lighting effects and camera angles) ¡ú Picture Photographer, ¡ú Photographer (boss) ¡ú First Photography Assistant ¡ú Second Photography Assistant
Electric lighting department: lighting engineer, lighting foreman, electrician technician
Field management department: field team leader, field foreman, field worker, photography equipment operator
In addition, the director is also in charge of the casting director (looking for actors and responsible for extras) and scene notes.
These do not include the major departments of post-production, production matters such as insurance, transportation, obtaining permission for location shooting, etc. Don¡¯t forget the various assistants.
If you were to be the director in a professional crew of this size, Ye Wei could indeed complete the filming while sleeping on the set, but he would also serve as the director of photography from the beginning. In his opinion, directing the actors and filming the camera should be the same.Only when all decisions have been made can one be considered a film director.
Building a crew means finding suitable people for each position, then splitting the scripts, and starting further preparation work, such as various art designs, selecting shooting locations, and the production director must do a good job accurate to the specific number of hours each day. In the shooting plan, the location team must arrange the corresponding equipment and the director team must select the actors.
The professional crew is like a sophisticated machine, with all parties working together and working together. The director looks at everyone, the producer looks at the director, the supervisor looks at the producer, and the investor looks at the supervisor.
Since the decision was made to hire Heller, Ye Wei has also turned his attention to the entire team of "Wedding Day is Coming", and they can continue to cooperate, especially those non-creative departments.
The creative department needs to go through a new inspection. After all, some people are indeed lacking in ability, some have bad tempers, and some are not suitable for their style. Forcing them to cooperate will only harm the film, but everyone is given the opportunity. It depends on their ability. Can't catch it.
Like Sean Maurer, Ye Wei likes to work with him, and his photography skills are also good, which is also good, so Ye Wei did not consider it without consideration.
Maurer was working hard to prove his ability. He was given a few pages of the script for "Little Miss Sunlight" and a director's statement. He had to write a photography statement and shoot some shots of that style for Ye Wei to see; the others also had their own opinions. Hard work, everything takes time to complete.
On the evening of the 13th, after a day of work, Ye Wei went to Landmark Cinemas to watch a movie. Watching movies was also part of his work
Rather than choosing the large-scale new movies "King Arthur" and "Anchorman", he chose a music biopic "Little Cutie". He is also a singer now.
In the theater, Ye Weigang sat down in the middle row of the auditorium when a text message came from his cell phone. He received the text message from Kristen at 7pm almost every day: "What are you doing?", I'm sorry if you don't reply. , go back and have nothing to say to her.
I still replied casually: "I'm watching a movie, "Little Cutie", it's starting, I won't say anything anymore."
Putting down his mobile phone, Ye Wei concentrated on watching the story on the big screen. The audience around him sat for less than half and were very quiet.
This song and dance movie was 26 minutes long and was well shot. Ye Wei and everyone else were so engrossed in watching it that they watched it for almost an hour before he knew it. He suddenly heard a "Hi, VIY" greeting next to him, and someone took his seat midway. Sitting next to him, he turned around in surprise and was startled.
"You" he couldn't help but exclaim, in the dim light was an expressionless face of a long-haired girl, Kristen Stewart.
It feels like she slipped out of the phone, why is she here? He clearly didn't say where he was, never.
"What a coincidence, I came here to watch a movie, didn't you say you were watching "Little Cutie", so I came in to take a look, and I didn't expect you to be here." Christine raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"Oh?" Ye Wei didn't believe it, and felt a strange feeling, and said with a smile: "I don't think it was a coincidence, you found me."
"How to find it?" Kristen looked at the big screen and leaned back on the seat, knowing in her heart that she had actually found it. Because of her daily inquiries, she found that he would definitely go to the movies once every weekend, sometimes even on weekends. I know how to watch it, and I watched it again today, Tuesday.
Which cinema? Do you always go to one place, or do you go to different places?
She was suddenly very curious about this tonight. If VIY watched a blockbuster like "Spider-Man 2" every time, which was released in thousands of theaters, it would be difficult to get the answer; but he was not, unlike those mediocre and ordinary young people, he I prefer to watch art films and niche CHLT films, but these films are released in very few theaters.
I checked online and found that that week there were 18 "Napoleon" movies, 2 "Before Sunset" movies, and 4 "Little Cutie" movies, and only four or five of them were located in Los Angeles. Combine these movies and you'll get the answer. , Pico Avenue, Rancho Park District, Landmark Cinemas.
So she took a taxi and took a look, and she really found Ye Wei.
"I don't know." Ye Wei shrugged, "Maybe you are an E1 secret agent who found you through mobile phone signal positioning."
Kristen laughed amusedly, "You are so funny."
"Stop talking, watch the movie." Ye Wei ignored her, didn't care, and continued to watch the movie intently. The audience members in the front and back rows who were trying to silence them all took back their words.
Christine didn¡¯t speak, but she spent more time looking at him than on the screen. The more she watched, the more excited she became. The feeling she had had for a long time became stronger. This man is so interesting and cool
"Hey, this is not the theater for "VIY Movies". You're in the wrong place." Looking at her strange eyes, Ye Wei had to speak out, "And you haven't bought a ticket yet."
"I feel a need" Her eyes were unblinking and she spoke softly. Ye Wei frowned and said, "Do you need speed?" After saying this, he suppressed a smile.
"1vccdlTecac" is the name of "Top Gun"??Tom Cruise's classic lines.
Christine immediately smiled again and seemed to move a little closer to him, "Michael Angarano, he never knows how to talk like this."
Ye Wei replied OK, looked at the image on the screen, and said in her heart, "It's none of my business." She moved closer, her face closer, "He and I have broken up because he is boring." Ye Wei continued to reply OK, but what he said in his heart was "it's none of my business."
"There is another reason, more important." The heat in her smile dispelled the laziness, "I fell in love with another boy, and he made me understand the true love of my heart.
"OK" Ye Wei responded again, suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at her funny, didn't you mean me?
The girl's body was about to press against his. It was obvious that she was. He quickly avoided some and became serious: "Girl, first, I already have a girlfriend, your friend Lily; second, I have no interest in you at all. "Three, if there was any misunderstanding, it was really not my intention, I'm sorry."
"I didn't say that boy was you." Kristen said, her expression unchanged, her eyes still looking at him.
"That's good." Ye Wei nodded, it didn't matter whether it was or not, she just knew it was impossible.
"I'm sorry, can you please be quiet?" Finally, an audience member in the back row protested dissatisfied. Ye Wei turned around and apologized, saying to her: "Did you hear that?
Kristen was very quiet after that until "Little Cutie" finished and the audience dispersed. She followed Ye Wei and left the screening room and ticket hall. Seeing his confused look, she said: "I have to leave too, let's go along." ¡±
The two of them walked out of the movie theater. The street lights were brilliant under the night sky, and the cars passing by in the driveway illuminated their faces with streaks of light.
"That's it, bye." Ye Wei said goodbye to her and walked towards the parking lot, but she still followed him. He finally felt helpless: "I don't know if this is a prank or something, I don't want to follow You flirt, you don¡¯t even want to¡±
"Then why are you replying to my text message?" Kristen asked with a smile without anger.
"Because we are friends." Ye Weiyi stared, almost speechless and said: "First you were Lily's friend, and then we also became friends, and did I say anything in reply to your text message? Oh hell, you can do this Misunderstanding, from which era did you take the time machine?" He didn't want to say more and walked away quickly.
"I didn't misunderstand." Christine also quickened her pace and followed, smiling: "You are such a good boy, I find that I like you even more."
She followed closely and said: "I know you and Lily are in love, but this matter has nothing to do with her or anyone else. It is a matter between you and me. I just follow my feelings. What I feel now isYe Wei, I don¡¯t want you to like you or love you, I want you.¡±
"If a girl says this to a boy, I'm afraid no boy will scold her away. Most of them will have their heart beat faster. It has nothing to do with emotion or reason, it's just hormones.
Ye Wei didn't have any reaction, he just thought the situation in front of him was funny, "Man, you are so self-centered, I'm sorry, I don't have that feeling for you."
While talking, the two came to the spacious parking lot and then walked towards a Volkswagen sedan.
"Maybe you don't feel anything at this moment, but" Just when Ye Wei stood firm and was about to open the door, Christine suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, who was caught off guard. Her youthful body was pressed against his, and she stood up on tiptoes and kissed him. Lips, kissed passionately.
Heck, her lips were almost bitten by her, and Ye Wei felt angry, helpless, and dumbfounded. He had been dating girls for many years, but this was the first time he met such a girl who was so brittle and willing to do whatever he wanted. He was not interested.
He couldn't throw her over his shoulder, and of course he couldn't let her kiss him. He first avoided her passionate kiss, then grabbed her shoulders with both hands and pushed her away, and said seriously: "That's enough, I still don't feel it. I just feel guilty, I don¡¯t know how to tell Lily, forget it.¡±
"Why should you tell her?" Kristen kissed her too much, with a blush of excitement on her face, "I want you, kiss me and you will feel it."
"Fuck you." Ye Wei started to get a little angry. He opened the car door and was about to get in. "I'll tell you again, I'm not interested in you. Just treat what happened tonight as nothing happened. No one else knows. I believe it." Your so-called feelings are just impulsive. After you get over the impulse, we can still be friends. "
"Love all begins with impulse." Kristen sat in the car and moved from the driver's seat to the passenger seat.
"Hey, get off the car," Ye Wei shouted in astonishment. Kristine refused: "It's hard to get a taxi here. Please give me a ride, friend." Ye Wei raised his palms, feeling like he wanted to hit someone. He finally exhaled, sat in, closed the door, and buckled the car. Turn on the ignition, turn on the music, step on the accelerator, turn the steering wheel
At the same time, Kristine glanced at the layout of the car, Lily was everywhere, group photos, single photos, her notes, her paintings
Lily, you are just lucky. You will not always be lucky because I joined.
UK, Chiswick, London, it was around 1pm on the 13th, at the Collins Family House.
Since she has a new mentality, Lily seems to be living in a cheerful love song. She will return to Los Angeles in two days, and she has not yet made a plan for her confession.
She thought about many plans. Last time she was such a bastard in rejecting Wei, so she had to give him a huge surprise to make up for her regret. However, after thinking about it, she felt that "recreating that day" would be the most meaningful, and nothing would change. Instead, she expressed her love with a rose.
"No, lilies are better"
At this time, in a quaint girl's room in the ancient house, Lily was sitting at the desk writing a confession, thinking about smiling and giving lilies to him as if she were giving herself to him.
She suddenly wanted to leave again. Their first official date was also on the beach in Santa Monica. Thinking of the scene that day, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. At that time, she and Wei were still unfamiliar, but he showed off very hard and said It¡¯s very interesting to say all kinds of witticisms
Counting the days, I have been in love with Wei Wei for more than half a year, almost 9 months
"It's great." Lily thought about her goal again, and decided to establish a relationship with him when she returned home. She would have the first time with him during the trip in August The memories of Hawaii came to her, and she suddenly smiled again, and her affection also increased. Like a fountain, I write a sentence of confession on the paper.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She took it and saw that it was from Trisette. She answered the call and said with a smile: "Triste, good morning."
"Lily, are you okay?" Trieste's tone was very worried and panicked, something was wrong.
"I'm fine." Lily was confused, "What's wrong?"
¡°You don¡¯t know yet¡¡± Tristel couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Lily frowned: "What do you know?" Trisit took a few deep breaths, but still spoke with difficulty: "Don't get excited, promise me, don't get excited after hearing this, we don't know the truth yet."
While Lily wrote another sentence on the paper, "You make me no longer afraid," she asked, "What are you talking about?"
"About Wei I, I don't know what to say, I just saw the news He, he and Kristen Stewart, they went on a date last night, watched a movie, and kissed Oh, Lily, well¡¡"
"You're kidding." Lily's face and voice didn't change at all, "You're kidding, right?"
"I don't know, maybe things are not what we see I won't occupy your phone line, but I will definitely call you to explain. If you have anything or what you want to say, call me. I will always support you. ¡±
After ending the call, Lily rested her right elbow on the table and supported her head with her palm, looking at the densely written paper, "Trisper is crazy, it must be"
After a while, she opened the laptop on the desk, went online, searched for something, and clicked on an entertainment news item "Ye Wei and Kristen Stewart are dating". She opened the pictures one by one, and the two walked out of the cinema. They walked out to the parking lot, kissed, got in the car, and drove away
"Ha, I knew it"
That self-deprecating voice, that face, and those bright eyes were all surprisingly calm.
"I knew it, but whyhe could obviously open the button with me first, why would he do thiswhy"
Her mouth suddenly trembled, her face turned red all of a sudden, her eyes were like broken waves, her heart was nowhere to be found, and big drops of tears fell
"Believe is a ghost, the future is a ghost, love is a ghostbastards, they are all bastards
The phone rang again, and Lily, who was crying silently on the desk, did not move. She let it ring for a while, and then it rang again and again. Then she weakly picked it up and saw that it was her mother.
As soon as "Lily" was connected, there was an urgent and concerned voice: "Lily? Are you listening? Are you okay, Lily?"
"Mom, I understand. I'm fine. You don't have to worry about this matter. Don't worry about Wei and I" The words were choked and hoarse, and the tears wet the paper, blurring the lines of pencil words, "I I will go back to Los Angeles today and I will listen to his explanation, I will I just don¡¯t understand some things"
Why are you lying to me, why are you doing this
If he doesn¡¯t have a good explanation, I won¡¯t forget it, I will kill him and then myself.
