Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    September 6th (the first Monday in September) is Labor Day in North America. It is a national holiday in the United States and Canada. People like to go on family trips on this day.

    Ye Wei did not go out with the Dubov family, but "went to Aijing Pavilion to visit relatives" and actually flew to New York.

    His identity secret is also facing a crisis, because in addition to work this time in New York, he also has to go to the 205 spring and summer New York Fashion Week, which opens on the 7th, to sit on the T stage of some show to be exposed; and then again  Going to the 2nd Toronto International Film Festival (No. - 18th), which opens on the 9th, for a few rounds is an activity arranged by Brian.

    The schedule was a bit busy, so I had to take a few days off from school.

    In Ye Wei¡¯s opinion, the most important thing about this trip is the dinner with Allen Hejin.  After this period of negotiations, from the agent to Akin himself, Heller also had to step back from the line of fire, and he, the first producer and director, would do the key interviews.

    As a semi-independent producer, thanks to the professionalism of the Hollywood machine, he can now see the "scout reports" of these well-known actors. They are not their public images, but reports made by industry interpersonal relationship investigation companies, including those of film and television actors.  People¡¯s deeds, situations, character analysis, etc., so that producers can better deal with them.

    Although it is impossible for everyone to be fully explained by a report, and everyone changes, it is still of some use. For example, his report may say that he is "impulsive", which is not entirely correct, but it is wrong to say that he "jokes"  No, when chatting with him, it's okay to joke more. Don't say more than a few words in front of someone with a serious personality.

    In Ajin¡¯s long report, Ye Wei noted that ¡°generous, humorous, friendly, no nonsense, easily excited or nervous, a lot of money (successful in business, creative), many friends, likes to help others,  It is easy to fall into the keywords of using love and charm to help others fight for power.

    What are the factors that led to Ah Jin joining?  What are the reasons for Ah Jin not to join?

    Obviously, the salary is not the same. If you only focus on making money, you are a fool to focus on a project with a budget of 600,000. Awards?  He doesn't think Ah Jin is very eager, but he is definitely not without desires. Considering his current credibility in winning awards, it is not an award; it can only be interest.

    ???????? Interest in scripted stories and movies about talented young people.

    According to Heller, Arkin liked the story of "Little Miss Sunlight" very much. His agent also believed that the role of "Grandpa" was 100% suitable for him. He also has a suitable schedule in 205. If another director was changed, maybe  Ah Jin nodded without thinking.

    ????????? In fact, if you reach the level of Ah Jin, even if "Little Miss Sunshine" is made into a bad movie, it will not hurt his acting career. This is a reward for playing a supporting role. As long as he performs well, his reputation will not fall.  Even so, no one likes to put a lot of time and effort into a bad movie.

    Ajin¡¯s only consideration was whether the young genius lived up to his name. Ye Wei thought that his professional ability had been fully proved. The only question was whether he could control the new story.

    The meeting place was the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, where Ye Wei stayed during this trip.

    On the night of the 7th, the spring and summer fashion week has opened. The Big Apple City is even brighter than the night sky. Bustling scenes can be seen everywhere in Manhattan. There are Broadway musicals and dance dramas over there, and fashion shows in Bryant Park over there the road  We got on the bus and drove around, and the waiters walked around in the hotel restaurant.

    The lights are bright and warm, and the customers sitting around the scattered white dining tables are all talking to each other.

    "Mr. Akin, nice to meet you."

    "Haha, I'm happy too."

    At a dining table next to it, Ye Wei met Alan Hejin, who came alone. He was a 70-year-old white man with only sparse white hair on both sides of his head. His eyebrows were also white, and his face had already loose skin.  He has spots and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, but he is energetic and his eyes still have a sharp energy.

    I have been working in the film industry for almost 6 years. I have experienced changes in the times and have been an actor, producer, director, and screenwriter. I have also acted and directed on Broadway. I am a highly respected veteran.

    If anyone is afraid of this interview, it will only be Ye Wei, who is two years younger than Ah Jin¡¯s granddaughter.

    Ah Jin sat down on the chair next to the table, looked at the little devil opposite, and suddenly said: "Do we look like Communists meeting together?"

    "Haha" Ye Wei laughed, "Anyway, I am not, I am a non-party person. Although it is 204, I really have no interest in politics."

    He knew what Akin was joking. Akin's father, David Hekin, was a painter and writer, a Russian immigrant. During the Red Scare of 1966, Akin's parents were accused of being communists and were fired from their jobs.  It was very difficult. Later, Ah Jin appeared in the satirical "The Russians Are Coming" which was a satire on the fear of communism. It can be said that he was a true star

    ¡°Just kidding,¡± Akin said, ¡°I don¡¯t like politics either.¡±

    "I had known that the old man was a humorous person, but it was still beyond Ye Wei's expectation that he was joking like this. If he hadn't done his homework?, Maybe he was stunned just now, but Ye Wei smiled again and said: "I don't know Russia, I know that China is developing very well. I go there every year, and it gets better every year."

    Neither of them like politics, but they talked about politics which is a taboo topic.

    Ah Jin asked about China with great interest. Ye Wei knew what to say. After talking for a while, he felt strange that the old man didn't seem to care about "Little Miss Sunlight" at all. He said this and that and talked about irrelevant things.  topic, he thought this might be an opportunity to show his maturity, so he followed A Jin's topic.

    No longer as cautious as before and as diligent in communication, it is impossible for Ye Wei not to pay attention to Ah Jin, because Ah Jin is the key figure.

    No matter what actors are invited, whether they are superstars or not, there must be a beginning, a breakthrough point to solve the problem, that is, someone above the level of a well-known actor is willing to join this feature film directed by a teenager. This is the beginning.  The subsequent work will be much easier.

    Ah Jin is undoubtedly a very good, very convincing and influential start. Such old people have joined and all agree. This matter is not a child's play.

    If Akin can be invited, the confidence and interest of Hanks, Roberts and anyone else in him will be greatly increased.

    So Ye Wei did a lot of homework and prepared to persuade the old man, but so far, the prepared things have not been used. After talking about China, he talked about Broadway for a while, and then gradually talked about his youth and even marriage.  , Ah Jin¡¯s first marriage only lasted 6 years since he was 21 years old, his second marriage lasted for more than 3 years, and his third marriage has lasted almost 10 years now.

    No nonsense?  This one seems inaccurate.

    "I like your public statement of refusal to apologize. That aroused my interest in your movies." Ajin suddenly changed the topic and finally talked about movies.

    Ye Wei was cutting the steak to eat, smiled when he heard the words, and said calmly: "I just don't want to be a person who is not myself, and I don't want to send myself to a psychiatrist's clinic, take any medicine, and all the mess. But now I am very comfortable.  That's enough."

    "It's a good mentality." Ah Jin's old face smiled, "They all say that Hollywood harms people, but in fact fame harms people, but there are more idiots in Hollywood.

    "Haha, fame and fortune, you're right. At this time, I am a little too young. I dare not say that I have always been fine. I can only try my best not to be a fool."

    Ye Wei said with emotion, and Ah Jin said with deep meaning: "Women can make people stupid. We know we have to be careful, but in the end we will still make stupid mistakes." Ye Wei nodded silently, "Alan, what you said is really true.  Damn it makes sense.¡±

    "Everything is changing with the times, but this one thing will not change." Ah Jin moved the knife to his steak and said: "Weige, I watched "The Wedding Is Coming" and it was very well shot."

    Feeling that the other party wanted to talk about business, Ye Wei immediately put his preparations into action: "Thank you, it's in the past. How to film "Little Miss Sunlight" is the only thing I'm thinking about now. One of them is that you will act. This is a perfect match.  What a charming old bastard. He has his philosophy of life, which is casual, spontaneous, free and easy, and loves his family no matter what they do. This is completely opposite to the "Richard, winner and loser" mentality.  A true teacher of stories.

    And his tenderness towards his granddaughter makes him even more cute, kind and individual. It is also the opposite of his shortcomings such as drug abuse, lust and vulgarity. It personally highlights one of the themes of the story. Everyone cannot be simply divided into a winner or a loser.  , everyone has shortcomings and shining points.  "

    "Yeah, yeah." After hearing these words, Ah Jin nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll join. You have my intention to join."

    What Ye Weizhen was stunned for a moment. Happiness came so suddenly that it was unbelievable. He thought the old man wanted to ask some questions and think about it after he went back, but this was enough?

    He slowly felt excited, "Wow, did I hear you right?"

    "No, I'll join." There seemed to be a trace of impatience on Ajin's face, "You are obviously not a fool, what else do you need to think about? Young man, I am 70 years old. Even if I die, I will live a long life. I can't speak a word.  , You have to save your words and don¡¯t be wordy.¡±

    "I'm very happy." Ye Wei was very happy. There was no nonsense. This was too accurate. He smiled and said: "I really found it. That's it, man, that's it."

    He also understood why Ah Jin was talking nonsense before. Let¡¯s see if he is a smart person or a fool. Fortunately, he can talk about various topics and gain Ah Jin¡¯s trust.

    "I am very happy that I have lived to this age and can act in an unprecedented genius movie." Ah Jin said with a smile.

    With the verbal commitment to join, the specific contract will be discussed in detail by the producer and agent, including remuneration, schedule, treatment and other terms. As far as this case is concerned, both of them know that even if it doesn¡¯t cost 100, 99% of the time it will come true.  .

    The next day, Ye Wei, who had not seen any new news for a long time, suddenly appeared in the eyes of the media and public:

    ?Alan Hejin joins Little Miss Sunshine¡·
