Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Gary Goetzman's mood is very complicated. Ye Wei doesn't know what's causing the trouble. Julia Roberts intends to join Little Miss Sunshine."

    No joke, she is going to have a secret interview with Ye Wei and invite him to serve as a witness.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Julia had no intention of joining at all before, saying that she was just considering it to give Ye Wei face, the guy didn't even know what that meant.

    Julia actually has two film contracts on hand right now, both of which are dubbing jobs. One is "Don't Mess with the Ants", which is a fully CG1 animated film project co-operated by Playtone and Warner Bros. with a budget of 660,000. He and  Hanks is one of the producers, and with their connections, they have hired a luxurious online lineup, including Nicholas Teach, Meryl Tripp and Julia.

    The dubbing schedule for "Don't Mess with the Ants" is in the middle of next year; the other one is "Charlotte's Web" which will start filming in January next year. She will dub "Charlotte" and the schedule is also next year.

    Dubbing and acting can be said to be two different things. You don¡¯t have to get up early in the morning to put on makeup, you don¡¯t have to run around with the crew, there is no pressure, you can go to and from get off work on time, and it has no impact on your family.

    At most, she is also the producer of her production company's new project "The Beautiful Girl".

    ??Returning half a year after giving birth, your first comeback appearance?  How many companies are handing out film contracts include Playtone, but it's not the "Little Miss Sunshine" project, it's the "Charlie Wilson's War" project that Ye Wei doesn't know about.

    This project came about after he read the original novel published last year and liked it very much and thought it was worthy of being adapted for the screen. Hanks agreed after reading the novel, so they worked hard to impress the author George Creel and bought the movie.  Adaptation rights, and actively producing it.

    This is a big project, and it is not possible to get investment and start preparations in a short time. One of the reasons for the big project is that Hanks wants to star in it himself. They also want to invite Julia to join. In her first movie after giving birth, she and Hank  Si's first screen collaboration.

    Julia is quite interested in this, but at this time, VIY destroys everything like Godzilla, because his small project of millions may disrupt a large project worth tens of millions.

    What trick did this guy use on Emma?  Gotzman could only think of this reason, and then Julia revealed her plan to confirm it, all because of Emma.  That kid is really crazy. He goes around looking for women and causing trouble. Sooner or later something will happen if he does this

    ¡°But he couldn¡¯t tell Julia, ¡°You can¡¯t join Little Miss Sunshine,¡± and we still have ¡°Charlie Wilson¡¯s War.¡±

    First, because of the time it takes to attract investment, do research and development, and preparatory work, even if everything goes well, it will take 2UU years for the latter to start filming, and there is no conflict with the schedule of "Little Miss Sunshine"; second, Julia will not listen to others.  Especially when it comes to Emma's interests, he knows how much Julia loves Emma. It would be a stupid thing to provoke Julia, who is now very maternal, with a project that does not even have a script for the time being.

    In fact, "Little Miss Sunlight" is also a project of Platon, and he is also the producer. If Ye Wei invites Julia, he should be happy. Julia's joining will bring huge changes and the chance of success will be much higher.

    The question is what if it fails?  What if it's the first "Hanks Roberts" failure?

    So it is basically impossible to realize the initial plan of "Charlie Wilson's War" unless the two superstars only receive a salary that is not commensurate with their worth.

    Unless Hanks doesn't join, Hanks' attitude is two sentences: ""Charlie Wilson's War" is just an idea" and "Weige's current performance is very good."

    This is indeed the case, regardless of whether Julia will really join "Charlie", maybe the script will not be filmed if it is not adapted well; and the results of Wei Ge's work are obvious to all. From a rational and professional point of view, only by doing a good job in the projects that have been put into production.  That's right, and if "Little Miss Sunshine" is successful, investment in "Charlie" will be easy to find.

    It¡¯s just that the chips placed on Ye Wei are getting bigger and bigger, getting unbelievably bigger.

    If Julia joins, she will definitely get zero remuneration share, and there will be no excessive requirements like "providing a private jet". Although she is not a kind person, she has such excellent qualities in independent production, and it is not right to star in an independent film in this way.  Once or twice.

    There are many stars with this kind of quality, why?  Don't you want to work for free on an independent film with a salary, compensation and share that can add up to more than $360,000 at any time?

    To use a famous saying from CAAR: ¡°This is the difference between business and art.¡±

    Stars may feel that in the studio's commercial films, they have no chance to perform, win awards, improve their reputation, have no friendship, no real respect, and no artistic atmosphere of independent production.  Some like to work with a well-known director, and some like to support a new director, maybe to increase his declining popularity, or maybe to fill up his free schedule. After all, 260,000 roles don't come every day, except?It is in the midst of exaggerated propaganda.

    ¡°And they star in these independent films for free, and their value will not be reduced as a result. Only the failure of commercial films will reduce their value, while the success of art films will increase it.

    ???????????????????????? After all, there are advantages. "Little Miss Sunlight" is an independent literary film, special among the special. Failure will not have a big impact on the star's net worth, but it will inevitably be ridiculed.

    Those reasons were not the reason for Julia's move, she was for Emma.

    Hanks moved, because of Ye Wei's performance, he increasingly saw the hope of the success of "Little Miss Sunshine". Hanks has been frustrated in commercial films. If he shines in independent films, it will be better for his career.  It was an uplift.

    But what about him?  Gary Goetzman?  One head and two big

    ¡°But Goetzman knows that for that bad boy, this is a great thing. The more chips he is pressed and the more big shots want him to succeed, the higher he can fly.

    The interview took place at Julia Roberts¡¯ vacation villa in Malibu. It was a cool early autumn in Los Angeles, and the California sunshine was as warm as ever.

    ???????? Near noon, Ye Wei got off the plane, had lunch at the airport, and got into the car driven by old George to go to Malibu. His family and friends didn¡¯t know he was back yet, so this was a surprise.

    When he arrived at the meeting place on time and was received by his assistant, Ye Wei came to the backyard of the villa, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, and could see the sea in the distance. He saw two people, Roberts and Gotzman, sitting at the leisure chair table in the courtyard.  Talking about something, he smiled and said hello and walked over: "Hey, Gary, hey, Julia, you look really good."

    After meeting Roberts again after many months, Ye Wei's mentality is very different. Yes, he still wants to have superstars join him to create a greater effect. The most important thing is to lock the release date at the end of 205 instead of  It may be scheduled until the end of the 2UU year, but even if it doesn't happen, we won't force it. We have some money now, and we will most likely invest in new movies in that year.

    With this calmer and more choice mentality, he became more natural. After saying hello, he sat down on a chair, picked up a cake from the tea box on the table, put it in his mouth and ate it.  Said: "It tastes great, I think the babies must say the same, it's great."

    Goetzman was a little surprised, and Roberts, who had a big belly, seemed to have a flash of surprise on his face. Is this bad boy so presumptuous?

    They thought that when Ye Wei came, he would find an opportunity to talk about the work results of "Little Miss Sunlight", but they ate them as soon as he came.

    "It's so warm in California. It's almost snowing in Toronto, and the long winter has begun. Fortunately, in April and May, its winter will also end, so the exterior scenes of "Little Miss Sunshine" are not a big problem. We will shoot the interior scenes first.  We will shoot the rest of the exterior scenes when there is no snow in May.¡±

    Ye Wei still talked about this aspect, but in Gotzman's view, he was like a big-name producer who was on an equal footing with celebrities. To be honest, given his qualifications, his tone was too direct and frivolous: "So  Julia, what do you mean?"

    What is this kid planning?  It's puzzling

    "Goldie Hawn has a very classic saying, I don't know if you have heard of it." Roberts raised his mouth, but smiled and talked about other topics: "The actress is only three years old, the baby in "Bebe the Pig"  period, the youth period of "The District Attorney" and the old age period of "Driving Miss Daisy" Wei Ge, which period do you think I am in?"

    "Obviously it's the mother period." Ye Wei replied without thinking, "The mother period of "Never Compromise" and "Little Miss Sunlight"."

    Gouzman immediately sighed, wonderful.

    "Hahaha" Roberts laughed a few times, then suddenly turned cold: "You bad guy, is this how you made Emma fall in love with you? Is that really okay?"

    "I don't quite understand." Ye Wei frowned, surprised by the situation in front of him. Are you saying that I took advantage of Emma unscrupulously?  He took another small piece of pastry and said, "I didn't. I asked Emma to help convey the news. That's the only way. Otherwise, I have always followed the etiquette of a friend."

    "Okay, okay, I don't want to teach anyone a lesson today." Roberts' expression did not relax.

    ??Gotzman could tell that Julia wanted to take back the initiative and scare this guy, but VIY didn't seem to be too scared

    "I know." Ye Wei nodded. He had already thought about it and became more relaxed. Roberts called him here and there was a witness. It was definitely not to say "I will not join", but to have a witness.  What conditions need to be negotiated, and conditions that cannot be discussed on the phone.

    Big shots have to be given face, which is what a producer should have. He said seriously: "Julia, I have always had the same attitude on this matter. We absolutely welcome you to join, and we can also adjust the shooting for you."  Schedule, provide the best treatment we can provide, the key is your idea.¡±

    Roberts was silent for a long time, then looked at Ye Wei and said: "Frankly speaking, no matter what period I am in, no matter what movie it is, let me star in it for half a year or two months after giving birth. Personally, nothing compares to taking care of my baby for two months.  "

    Ye Wei ate the tea snacks silently. In other words: Others can give me the things you gave me, and they are more and better. I don¡¯t care about any of them. I don¡¯t need them anymore.

    What does she want?

    "There is nothing I want from you, but there is something Emma wants."

    Hearing Roberts¡¯ words, Ye Weiyi was startled, didn¡¯t he want me and Emma to fall in love?

    "She is a newcomer. Like you, she needs to make a name for herself and establish her own image. I joined "Little Miss Daylight", and your next directed film will be a project starring Emma, ??who is an absolute heroine. To  It¡¯s up to me to decide whether to execute it or not, and I¡¯ll choose and arrange any projects, and of course I¡¯ll take your opinions into consideration.¡±

    After Roberts finished speaking, he gently stroked his belly, his eyes showing a light that was either maternal or a queen's.

    Gozman on the other side smiled bitterly, all because of Emma.

    "I understand." Ye Wei stopped chewing the tea and turned to look at the Pacific Ocean in the distance. He was thinking about this condition. It was really sudden.

    What is this called, 1l¡¯s bundling clause?  Benefit exchange?  Win-win?  Whatever it is called, why?

    It¡¯s not hard to understand why, this is not the first time Roberts has done this. She starred in ¡°Newborn¡± just to lead Emma¡¯s way, which was not very successful.

    "Newborn" is positioned as a movie for the DVD market. It was released two years ago. It was released in a few theaters last month to test the waters. But now for a few weeks, it has been so bleak that it has not broken the $1,000 per theater. The total box office  Thirty or forty thousand, seems to have been drawn?  What's worse is its film reviews, which seem to be released just to be scolded by the film critics.

    There is also nepotism that is ridiculed by the media.

    For Emma, ??the identity of "Julia Roberts' niece" is unavoidable. This is a double-edged sword that can either make her or destroy her.

    ¡°At the time, Sofia Coppola¡¯s acting career was not going forward. In addition to her mediocre acting skills, the accusations, heckles, and the Golden Raspberry Award were all the reasons.  The label of "nepotism" can easily destroy a newly debuted second-generation star, both in terms of reputation and heart.

    The smart thing is to have connections and more opportunities, so the producers of "Newborn Calf" are all top-notch, but they are still scolded.

    I really don¡¯t know if this is because Roberts is rushing in, or it is her plan. Amid the controversy, Emma has indeed entered the public eye, but she is far from the first-line child star. She stopped the movie for now and went to Nickelodeon to star in "Ufabu" to accumulate a lot of experience at a young age.  Audience popularity and acting skills, as well as the reputation and image of getting rid of nepotism.

    It's not like Emma can't find movie dates. She just said that she will star in a youth comedy called "Mermaid" next year. One of the starring roles is the feature film debut of the young female director Elizabeth Allen (because her father  It is the famous physicist Philip Allen and attracted much attention), with a budget of at least 10 million, and is expected to be released in 2066.

    ¡°The second or third female lead in the debut film of a talented new director from a famous family, this is Emma¡¯s current screen status.

    But now we are not engaged in physics. Elizabeth Allen has not proven herself yet. There are no absolutes in the film industry. No one knows whether "Mermaid" can be successful. Even if it is successful, how much can Emma's screen career be improved?  A-list star?  Maybe not yet.

    To become a first-line star, it may take many years and a lot of good luck.  With the accumulation of one movie after another, this road is full of changes, and a bad movie will be finished at any time.

    Roberts wants his niece to become a star, or even a superstar among the new generation of actresses, which is not easy.

    Now she saw another road, a faster way to go.

    Roberts knows that if she joins, even without Hanks, it will be a huge boost to "The Genius Kid Ye Wei" and "Little Miss Sunshine", and the world will be shocked.

    First of all, no matter what, get the spotlight first. The film will have an important cameo from Emma. Then, she obviously thinks that the film will not be messed up. Maybe it is because of his recent low-key style, maybe it is the results of his work, maybe it is because Bullock gave  Confidence, maybe Ajin.

    "So Little Miss Sunlight" is a success, his next film will definitely get more attention, and the result is a movie tailor-made for Emma. Wow.

    He, Ye Wei, succeeded, and then he succeeded with Emma. Although it was full of uncertainties, once he succeeded, he could soar into the sky.

    This is smart nepotism. His appearance gives Roberts a chance. Doesn¡¯t she need it?  Let her go to Steven Soderbergh and say, "You make a movie for Emma"?  Soderbergh would not agree. Needless to say, big directors and well-known directors would not play with her. Ordinary directors were worthless. This would not work and that would not work. VIY appeared.

    From the perspective of his own interests, Roberts¡¯ joining and her dedicated effortsHelp, don't forget that he succeeds first, then Emma can benefit. He is obviously not the one who suffers.

    Suddenly, there was a way for them to become a community of interests, not just monetary interests, but the aspect that Roberts valued most, the future.

    A win-win situation, right?  After probably thinking clearly about the other party's thoughts, Ye Wei started chewing the tea cake again, and said thoughtfully while chewing: "Well, I think, I think

    This kid Gozman is really going to be angry. What are you thinking?  There is absolutely no reason not to agree. Julia's joining will elevate "Little Miss Sunshine" to another level, whether it is the attention of the media and the public, his image as a child prodigy, or his crazy ideas that will hit the awards season

    Isn¡¯t this what your kid has always wanted?  How much advantage do you still want to take?

    "What?" Roberts couldn't help but frown.
