Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Hello everyone, my name is Gu You, Yunik-Gu. The current time isll. 3, 204, Los Angeles time - ¡Ã6nm."

    On the screen of the compact silver-gray P camera Canon M7001, the image shook violently. It was vaguely visible that it was in a boy's room, with black slate, bookshelf, and BE port. Following the voice, the screen turned and a room appeared.  He looked at the young man's face, looked at the camera, pointed it at the screen of his mobile phone, and clearly captured the time.

    "From now on, I have to do a big thing, find a suitable script and buy it, and then use Panavision film cameras and lenses to produce it within 2 days. A feature film can be heard clearly. It only takes 2 days.  No more every day, no less every day, let's see if we can do it.

    You know, I look a bit like Ye Wei, the one who filmed the remake of "Wedding Day is Coming" and is now working on the "Little Miss Sunshine" project, but I'm not him. Let me say it again, my name is Unique Gu, call me  Just use Yonex, or swim, no need for YO, thank you.  "

    P The camera turned again, he smiled and said: "OK, if we want to make a movie, we need a film company, because many things have to be done in the name of the companyShh, you can also avoid taxes. I know a guy  Lawyer, he can help me with this, I¡¯m going to call him now.¡±

    P was placed on the tripod, and the image became stable. The young man dialed a number with his mobile phone, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and quickly started talking:

    "Hello, lawyer Greg Salton, right? I'm Gu You, haha, here's the thing, I want to register a new production company, which will be solely owned by me. Well, it should be registered in No, just register it in  Nevada, what's the name? Let me think about it I thought of Yunique Ai Nina. It seems that we have discovered a hobby of Cupid, so let's call it this.

    Lawyer, I want you to hurry up, hurry up, and hurry up. Every millisecond we have now is very precious, like a 100-meter race.  I also want you to be prepared for various contracts for a new project of a low-budget exploitation film. Please keep everything confidential. Goodbye.  "

    After putting down the phone, the young man looked at the camera, gave a thumbs up, and said with a happy smile: "Guys, we are going to have our own film company, cool. Next, we have to think about projects, all projects  It all stems from an idea, a script.

    I can write scripts, but writing a good enough feature film script in a short time is a bit like what Superman did. I don¡¯t have super powers, so I am going to buy a suitable ready-made script and wait to be made into a good movie.  There are too many, they just lack opportunities. This is how Ye Wei found "Little Miss Sunshine", we can do it too."

    Suddenly at this moment, a little girl's joyful shouts rang out from far and near: "Brother, brother, are you back?"

    "Oh" The young man looked out the door with a troubled expression on his face, "My sister Luoluo is back. I'll go tease her first and then continue later."

    He stood up and walked to the P camera, stretched out his hand to press it, and with a bang, the camera was turned off.

    ¡°We want cookies¡ª¡±

    "Hehe, Cookie Monster"

    As soon as Ye Wei returned to Los Angeles today, she went directly from the airport to the DreamWorks headquarters for a meeting. She returned home in the afternoon and gave Duoduo another surprise.

    The meeting finally achieved results. Gotzman and Smail both agreed that as long as he did what he said, there would be nothing more to say and he would switch to film.

    But things are not simple. Now "Ye Wei" is not just himself, but is connected with everyone in "Little Miss Sunshine" and the dream lineup. His every word and deed will affect the reputation and operation of the project.  , the outside world is watching, countless pairs of eyes

    It is no small matter to suddenly start a new project. Think about it, if this new project to prove his film ability goes wrong, or turns into a bunch of shit, or has some trouble, it will ruin his image as a genius and damage his image.  The audience of "Little Miss Sunlight" is looking forward to it, so aren't we all idiots?

    Especially low-cost exploitation films, they can turn out a very inferior piece of garbage at any time. Yes, there are many miracles in exploitation films, but they are pearls in the ocean of garbage. What is the most abundant in the ocean of garbage?  Rubbish.

    Therefore, many parties have made it sternly clear that Ye Wei can do whatever he wants in private, but he can only do it in private and cannot be exposed. The outside world cannot learn any information that "Ye Wei is making a new movie". Nothing is allowed. Small leaks.  Anyone and anything related to the new project must be kept confidential. Once leaked, it will be stopped immediately.

    There is also the issue of distribution of this film. Of course, it cannot be released randomly. No matter whether they think the film is good or bad in the end, they cannot release it.  Because Ye Wei's real feature film debut is "Little Miss Sunshine", it can only be "Little Miss Sunshine" unless he gives up "Jimmy".

    In view of these circumstances, Ye Wei proposed a plan, which was unanimously adopted.

    He will use the name and identity of Gu You to do everything about the new project and produce it.Wherever actors, directors, etc. are involved in the work, their signatures will be Yunik-Gu, and the letters VIYR will not appear.  Even if it is to be released in the future, it will still be like this, and the publisher will be required to keep it confidential and not participate in any publicity. All information about Gu You will not be exposed.

    " Terrence Malick at least has one on-set photo of him wearing a cowboy hat. Gu You is even more ruthless than Malick. He doesn't even have one, and even his gender is a question mark.

    Everyone likes this, but as for whether to release it, how to release it, and when to release it, we will see the situation at that time. The main premise is that it has nothing to do with "Ye Wei".

    All aspects must be paid attention to. Just like the producers of the project, Dream Chaser Alliance cannot use it, Weiduo Image cannot use it, and Ye Wei does not want to use it, because it will involve the interests of other shareholders. Registering a new company will  Well, Cliff Movie (BhuffFIhm), taken from the place where he and Nina fell in love, Buffe'paBuff also has a scary meaning, which is suitable for making an exploitation film.

    Actually, Ye Wei has no idea about distribution at the moment. What he wants now is to prove his film ability and make Nina happy.  Doesn¡¯t she want Yunique to make a movie? Then let¡¯s do it. Doesn¡¯t she want to act in Yunique¡¯s movie?

    "Although it's like playing for fun, he knows it's not the case and is confident that the film will be successful, so it will be released, screened, rented directly to DVDs, overseas, everything is good, and the cost must be earned no matter what."

    What is the cost budget?  You don¡¯t need a lot of money to make an exploitation film. You can use cheap film (film headers), buy things and return them within the return period, free amateur actors and scenes, etc. You can make it for $50,000. His budget is 30,000.  -$60,000, the family can afford it, no more, no less, it is enough.

    Whether it is released or not is a matter for the future. The most important thing is to make a good movie as scheduled first.

    Everything must be done quickly. He must complete the new project before mid-January next year, decide whether to use film or digital, make final preparations for filming, and then start shooting.  During this period of time, he still has to manage LM, because LM's preliminary preparations are continuing and no business will stop.

    Calculating, the real time given to him will even be less than 20 days. He will have to ask for more leave. Fortunately, the winter vacation is coming soon.

    Facing this kind of challenge and responding with a movie, Ye Wei was very excited. Oh no, Gu You already had a lot of ideas about what he wanted to film.

    There are as many categories as exploitation movies, typically including cannibals, sex, kung fu, samurai, scares, gore If you want to shoot quickly, you need to focus on the scenes. If "Saw" wasn't focused on the secret room,  Instead of running around and wasting time moving sets, it can't be shot that fast.

    Horror movies can often be very concentrated. The monster's lair is a horror movie. He came up with this idea because he was very interested in horror movies.

    After playing with Duoduo for half an hour, Ye Wei asked her to play with Toto by herself, as she had something important to do.

    He walked back to the room quickly and saw that it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. His eyes glanced at the small mountain of Thanksgiving gifts piled beside the bed. The top was a beautifully packaged light blue gift box. He retracted his gaze and walked towards the tripod.  , suddenly turned around and walked over, removed the gift paper with a few hands and feet, and saw that it was a Cook lens

    "Do you like it? I don't know if it is good, but I think you will need it"

    "Lily" Ye Wei thought of something and couldn't help but hold the gift box tightly. He wanted to call her and tell her "I like it very much", but he shook his head suddenly and immediately took the box and left the room to the attic and put it on the two seats. "  I went up to the tombstone, looked at it for a few times, and said, "I really don't understand you."

    "GO, GO, GO, man, hurry up"

    He stroked the NI bracelet on his right wrist with his left hand, who cares VIY I am Yunik

    With a bang, the camera on the tripod started taking pictures again.

    "Hello everyone, hello Nina."

    Ye Wei smiled at the P camera, and took the picture to show to Nina. He picked up the P, took pictures of himself, and walked downstairs outside the room, "We need a movie script, what, what, what  ? How to find it? There are many ways, such as going to the Screenwriters Guild, going to the agency, going to the production company, going to 6a."

    ¡°Brother, what are you taking pictures of?¡± When they arrived on the first floor, Duoduo jumped behind.

    Ignoring her, Ye Wei walked to the garage and continued: "And my company will also receive some submissions for scripts. Uh, no, that's VIYR Spoon Company. In fact, we are friends. Since he became famous, his company  You can receive a lot of scripts, but because you don¡¯t hire a dedicated script reader, they just pile up there.

    He doesn¡¯t own them, he just has the opportunity to buy them.  Reading scripts is a hard job, but there is a saying that gold is under the yellow sand. Today, we are going to read those scripts carefully to see if there is gold in them.  "

    With a bang, the P image was turned off.

    Wow, when the video starts recording again, the screenThe time was different, 4:4hnm was filmed in a small but well-equipped office.

    "This is Santa Monica, the headquarters of Weiduo Image Company. Let me tell you quietly, this is also the headquarters of Dream Chaser Alliance Company."

    Ye Wei looked around. It had really been a while since he had been here. Although he didn't come much, a headquarters was needed. He also hired an employee to be responsible for sending and receiving documents, managing information, maintaining the official website, and responding to letters from fans.  Waiting for all the jobs, he is Jay-Chen, a Chinese young man in his early thirties, Chen Nuo's cousin

    "Hey Jay, long time no see"

    Jay is an honest man who has been a nerd all his life. He is like an adult version of Chen Nuo. He also wears glasses. He greets the camera with a smile. He does not know exactly what Ye Wei is going to do. He only knows that the boss has come to read the script.

    "Jay is a very good person, and so is his cousin Noah. Don't play "Warcraft" with them, you will lose miserably."

    Ye Wei said with a smile, walking towards a desk by the window in front, exclaiming, adjusting the focus of the P lens, and focusing on the pile of scripts on the table, "Look, that's it  I probably counted, there should be more than a hundred scripts, and that's right, Jay said 17.

    Compared with the warehouses of labor unions and brokerage companies, this is a bit less, but in any case, thank them for submitting the manuscript. You must know that this method will probably not get any reply. It takes courage for them to submit the manuscript. How to submit the script is really a cosmic problem.  ah

    We can feel that there are touching stories behind these scripts, and there are also wonderful stories in these scripts, so let¡¯s get started.

    Jay, you can get off work early today and call a woman for a date. I¡¯ll be there.  "

    "Oh, okay, Weige, then I'm leaving?"

    "Go on a date, don't go home and play games"

    After Jay left, Ye Wei pointed the camera at herself and said with a smile: "Haha, what did I say before? I look a bit similar to VIY. I really hope his girlfriends will recognize me by mistake It's just that  Just kidding, Ninaforget it, let's just cut this part."

    Wow, wow, the video started recording again. He sat down in the chair, put P in a suitable position on the table, and turned it sideways towards himself. Then he closed his eyes and touched the script a few times as if he were drawing a lottery ticket: "  Open sesame and look what we got"

    Pulling out a script, he looked at the cover and said: ""Love Without End", the screenwriter is Paul Reacher, Paul, such a name is really inconspicuous, maybe there is another "Love Without End" in it, if  It's called, um, "I Don't Understand You, But I Love You", maybe it's better, ECK, CUT"

    "Is there something wrong with you?" Ye Wei knocked on his head and immediately deleted the paragraph just now. He put aside the romantic movie script that was not in line with his choice, "Sorry, brother."

    Continue recording: "Open sesame, let's see what we get"One Goal", written by Jason Randall, oh so sweet." He smiled at the camera, "I guess he knows I'm on the school football team  , so take a chance, sorry man, I want horror stories.¡±

    One after another, the names, categories and synopses of the scripts were read, and then they were put aside in categories. Soon after, all the horror scripts were picked out, 2.

    "OK, let's start tasting the feast."

    Ye Wei looked at the stack of scripts on the table and felt excited. The order from top to bottom was based on the interest he had after reading the synopsis just now. The script ranked first was called "The Family Murderer". He  He took it and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and put it down, saying disappointedly:

    "It has a great idea. A murderer disguised as a good man. After getting married, he wanted to change his life, but his married life brought pain. In the end, he found that the best way to solve the problem was to kill. He thought, and then he  He went on a killing spree, and his wife's birthday party turned into a bloody night.

    There is something like Quentin-Tarantino, but the first turning point is not very good. The change from sweetness to pain is not convincing. If the problem lies in the second turning point, I will also think about whether I can make some changes to the first turning point?  Forget it, after all, we still have so many scratch tickets."

    As he spoke, he took the second-placed book "The Water Monster in the Deep Pool" and opened it, "The summary is that five young people went camping by the lake. They discovered the water monster. They wanted to catch the water monster, but in the end they were seeking death.  For young people, does it feel a bit like "Blair Witch"? There are monsters, there are escapes, there are deaths, maybe "Anaconda"? I hope we have good luck."

    After reading for a while, Ye Wei sighed helplessly and put down the script, "There are too many static dialogues and too few dynamic horror scenes. This story is not exciting, I'm sorry."

    So, I read one script after another, and by the sixteenth time I was still not satisfied with any of them. Even though I had good ideas, they were all mediocre stories.

    "Good fish always swim at the bottom of the water. It's the seventeenth one. Let's see Oh, I remember the outline of it. It's obviously driven."Shadows of "The Man" and "The Blair Witch Project."  "

    Ye Wei shook the script in his hand towards the P camera, name: "Cotton", screenwriter: Heck Porter, Andrew Grand
