- "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the Saperstein Theater and welcome to tonight's charity gala, a gala about love and hope."
The night sky in Los Angeles on January 2, 205 was nothing special. On the campus of Harvard-Westlake Junior High School, a clear and soft girl¡¯s voice echoed through the theater through the sound equipment.
The auditorium was packed, with almost all the junior high school students present, as well as some teachers and parents. This was a fund-raising party for the South Asian tsunami organized by the junior high school student union in conjunction with the middle school charity association, the Asian American Cultural Club and other clubs. .
The young faces all had peaceful expressions, looking at the girl in the white dress on the stage. She raised two thick eyebrows, holding a wireless microphone, and was delivering an unscripted opening statement.
She is the host and organizer of the party, the editor of the school newspaper "Spectrum", the president of the new club "Journalism Society", and the female president of the junior high school student union this school year.
Lily Collins, a well-known figure, is the ex-girlfriend of another school legend, Ye Wei.
On the evening of Saturday, January 15th, the live broadcast and the commercial-free "Tsunami Relief Concert" concert were broadcast simultaneously on 10 American broadcast networks including NHC, and were co-filmed in 7 locations in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, London, New York, and Los Angeles, with hundreds of people There are so many participating guests, including the old, middle-aged and young people, that they can¡¯t be counted.
Clooney, Cage, Depp, DiCaprio, Eastwood, Freeman, Pitt, Willis, Tarantino Halle Berry, Goldie Hawn, Kate Ha Desen, Natalie Portman, Meg Ryan, Naomi Watts, Swank, Zellweger, Zeta JonesMagic Red Band, Madonnaand Clinton and Bush. The President of the United States appears.
Among them, there were only a few teenage guests. Ramo Willis attended with his father. Of course, there was also the prodigy Ye Wei who cannot be ignored. As the only Asian teen idol in the United States and the light of the Asian community, VIY and another The long-famous Asian guest Lucy Liu (Lucy Liu) seems to represent something, although they are all Chinese, not South Asian.
Therefore, he was shown multiple shots on the TV screen. The audience in front of the TV only saw him in the NH studio in Burbank, Los Angeles, sitting in the audience wearing a black casual suit, with a calm expression on his face, just like other people around him. Guests.
Toronto, despite the time difference, Nina was waiting in front of the TV on time to watch. When she saw the love in her heart, she couldn't help but smile. She really couldn't feel sad.
She thought again of the perfect vacation that had just passed, including Paris, Rome, and Sofia, Bulgaria. She took Unique to her hometown and visited many scenic spots, playing, talking, and having sex, leaving behind beautiful memories that she will never forget. .
"Yunique, am I beautiful?" The day before her return, she wore a traditional Bulgarian red and white apron cvIua decorated with flower embroidery, and a turban woven with coins and beads and flowers. She thought it looked good. , but I was nervous about whether Yunique would feel weird.
"You are the most beautiful girl in the world." However, his face was full of surprise, and then
Thinking of those sweet and lingering moments, Nina chuckled, so stupid that her clothes were torn.
After Sofia, we returned to North America and took different flights. She returned to Toronto, and Wexford's winter vacation ended on January 6; while he temporarily returned to Los Angeles, where he had work and charity activities to be busy with. He came over last weekend because the 9th was her 6th birthday, and that day created many, many wonderful things.
Nina thought, we are so happy, but so many people are suffering in the world, so we must donate money. Now that we have a little savings, let¡¯s donate five hundred dollars.
¡°If you donate too much, you won¡¯t be able to get it out. I spent a lot on traveling, and I still need to prepare a birthday gift for Yunik on the 19th of next month.
"We are gathered here tonight not because of any good things. We all know that last year, on February 2, local time, a terrible disaster occurred in the Indian Ocean. A nine-magnitude earthquake caused a huge tsunami. Many people died. Many people died. People lost their families, their homes, everything.
They have become displaced victims. They need everyone who has the ability to help them to lend a helping hand and work with them to rebuild their homes and overcome the disaster.
We are the ones who can lend a helping hand. Tonight, our fundraising goal is half a million dollars. We will mainly accept donations from students, teachers and parents. All donations will be donated to the Red Cross. . There will be singing, dancing and other artistic performances at the party. We sincerely hope that our love can comfort the souls of the deceased and bring hope to the living. Now, please observe three minutes of silence for the victims. "
The clear girl¡¯s voice stopped, and the theater fell into silence. Many people closed their eyes and made praying gestures.
Three minutes later, on the stage, Lily said again: "Next, I will sing a song first, "AuBapaanIe" by my father Phil Collins. If everyone's heart is touched, please don't just be touched, please donate. ,?Thanks. "
There was a burst of applause from the audience. There were no whistles or shouts. Everyone just clapped politely. However, there were actually many students who were excited. It was really rare for Lily Collins to sing. Before today, Ye Wei was probably the only one in the school who had heard it. She sang one of her father's most famous songs, "Another Day in Paradise."
The melancholic accompaniment sounded in the theater along with the sound of drums, the clearer beat, and the tune that never goes out of style.
Lily took two steps lightly, nodded slightly to the rhythm, looked at the rows of people in front of her, seemed to be thinking about something, and sang into the microphone:
¡°She called to a passerby on the street
Sir, can you help me?
The weather is cold and I am homeless
Can you tell me where I can go?
The man continued walking without looking back
He pretended not to hear her
Started to whistle and walked across the street
It seems like it would embarrass him to stay there
Oh, think about it again
Think about it: another day you and I will meet in heaven
Oh, think about it again
One day, you and I will meet in heaven
After returning to Los Angeles from Europe, Ye Wei immediately threw himself into the busy work. Of course, he was very reluctant to leave Nina, but he would not allow himself to be obsessed with beauty and delay things. He would rest when he had a rest and work hard. It¡¯s time to work hard
On the first day back in Los Angeles, he hosted the final audition for "Dewyane" and finally decided on the candidate.
The four most competitive people in the entire final list are 17-year-old Michael Angarano, 19-year-old Paul Dano, 23-year-old Michael Pitt, and 2-year-old Jon Hyde. Four people with four different temperaments and different performance styles.
As far as the age of "DeWine" is concerned, Angarano is the most suitable, but the real age is often the least important in casting, as long as the likeness is enough, and the audience cannot see the actor's birth certificate, Jon Heder When he was 2 years old, he played a high school student in "Napoleon" and his performance was as real and believable as a high school student.
Ye Wei couldn't tell what Angarano was thinking. He seemed to really want to reconcile and be friends. He is not a stingy person, and there is nothing he hates about Angarano. Michael, it is okay to reconcile with you, but not with your girlfriend. You can wait until you break up to be friends again.
Now only Angarano is the first to be eliminated because of his previous doubts. His temperament is sunny and healthy, and he can't see melancholy, so he is not suitable for playing DeWine.
Jon Hyde was eliminated next, because although he did not look much like "Napoleon" after the makeup, his appearance was more mature, and his performance style was more commercial comedy than black humorous literary film.
The story of "Little Miss Sunlight" is funny not because of the characters themselves, but because of the contrast between a group of people who don't look funny and do some things that make people laugh or cry. The laughter is also filled with sadness and thinking, so Jon - Hyde was eliminated.
Paul Dano and Michael Pitt have similar temperaments. They both have labels of melancholy and neurosis. Broken down, there are actually two types. Pitt's melancholy is really melancholy, rock and roll, decadent, and gloomy. In him, it is almost If you can't see any sunshine, even if you smile, it will be depressing.
Paul Dano is different. His melancholy exudes a sense of stupidity and bookishness. He is an introverted nerd who is not good at communicating. He is pretending to be melancholy, as if he is pretending.
Ye Wei did not need to think much before he selected the winner. The most suitable among these people was Paul Dano.
A few days later, the official website of "Little Miss Sunlight" announced the last member of the online lineup. Flip the "DeWine" card and you will see a melancholy idiot: "I hate everyone."
"You have done it, you must have done it. How is the performance of VIYR spoon?"
¡°Toronto, in the rhythmic gymnastics training hall, a group of tall girls surrounded Nina, chattering excitedly and gossiping about the topics they cared about most.
Nina had an angry look on her face that said she was "annoyed to death by you guys" and walked aside: "This is a secret, I won't tell you." The girls immediately shouted in disappointment and followed her step by step. Alice said in a teasing tone: "It's very bad. "I can't believe he looks so strong" Liz also joined in: "This is not good. He is not good at this aspect. He is not good at looking good or smart and humorous."
Even though she knew this was a way to provoke the general, Nina was still provoked. She couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Yunik, and spat at them: "He is so powerful that I can't stand it anymore. That's all." They all laughed. She exhaled and became even more excited. Alice thought wildly, "Can you lend him to me for a day? One night?"
"No" Nina gave her the middle finger. Alice asked, "Shall we come together?" Nina laughed and scolded, "Fuck you." Liz gossiped again.??: "What size is he?" Nina yelled like she was going crazy, and then the coach scolded: "Girls, I can't see your ribbons dancing.
Nina ran over waving the ribbon stick in her hand as if she was being saved, jumped up in the air, landed, stood on her right foot, put her left foot back, leaned forward, and continued dancing with the ribbon.
Alice, Hai Lei and others also danced over and rehearsed team moves, with ribbons flying in the air¡ª¡ª
Sweat is dripping from her forehead, but Nina is smiling. The World Youth Championship is not far away. Whenever she is tired from training, she just thinks about Yunik and she is full of energy.
"Exorcism Video" has found a publisher
On the day of January 13th, the matter was finally settled. Saying "finally" may be a bit of an exaggeration, because although it was rejected by publishers in the active market, Ye Wei, Grande and Porter Kou all suffered a lot. I'm angry, but the total time it takes can actually be called smooth. There are still companies that know how to appreciate its quality.
It is not the spirit of the times, nor is it Rogge Films. The former believes that "this is not a mockumentary, it is a mess", while the latter considers it and believes that "there is no market for mockumentaries."
??But Lionsgate Films believes that it is unique, innovative, commercial enough, and artistic enough to be praised by critics. They proposed a buyout plan. Lionsgate would give Cliff Films $1 million, and "The Exorcism Video" would belong to Lionsgate, with all the copyrights.
It took more than a month to produce and sell, and he could earn 550,000 yuan. Any producer of ultra-low-cost exploitation films would be satisfied. However, Ye Weizhi is not here. He is not eager to get 550,000 yuan now, and is more confident about exorcism videos." It has great potential, so he won't sell it. What he wants is a cooperative distributor, and it will be distributed in theaters.
In this case, it¡¯s a different story. Lionsgate¡¯s original plan was to buy it for DVD distribution and divide it into cooperative theater distribution? There are also a lot of confidentiality requirements, what about Yunique Gusi, Terrence Malick? Or Allen Smithey?
There is also the weirdest clause. If the distributor wants to expand the release scale of the film, it needs the consent of the producer. Can it be rejected? So why look for distribution?
Lionsgate thought about it for several days and wanted to have an interview with Gu You, but they still only had a mysterious phone call and Andrew Grande.
Grande and the two conveyed Gu You's latest intention, a clause that impressed Lionsgate. Six months after the film is released in theaters, Lionsgate can freely distribute DVDs in North America regardless of whether there is a large-scale release. This is a very Share ratio figures in their favour.
In fact, Lionsgate really doesn't worry about theatrical distribution. The first consideration is whether the film is qualified for release. The final result is to give it a try and invest a small amount of publicity funds, one hundred and two hundred thousand, to build an official website on the Internet. Go viral and play in two or three theaters for a week.
This money can be regarded as the copyright fee for the North American video disc of "The Exorcism Video". In total, Lionsgate still makes money. It was originally only 1 million, but now it is 20,000. It only needs to satisfy the dream of releasing the cliff-hanger movie, why not? The quality of this film aroused their sensitive senses, and they really couldn't bear to let go of having the opportunity to distribute it.
Does it mean DVD or theater? Lionsgate didn¡¯t have much expectations. After last year¡¯s April Fool¡¯s Day disastrous failure, the horror film ¡°Godsend¡± with a production cost of 600,000 yuan only received 310,000 global box office). They do not plan to attack this schedule again this year. They will only arrange The comedy "Heartbreak" and the drama "State Property 2" were released on a small scale to grab some box office revenue in addition to horror films, while the horror film focused on the Halloween schedule, "Saw 2".
So, last year, "Godsend" was released on April 3, with 22 theaters opening.
"This Year's Exorcism Video" is scheduled to be released on April 2, and the number of theaters tentatively scheduled to open is 2, one each in Los Angeles and Toronto.
On January 14th, DreamWorks announced that the much-anticipated "Little Miss Daylight" has been finalized. It will be released in North America on January 1st this year.
This has caused an uproar in the entertainment media. There have been many speculations about the release date of LM. 205? Or 2UU years? Beginning of the year, middle of the year, or end of the year?
Who can say that it has no ambitions for those glittering trophies in the month before the 205 awards season?
The week from October 1st to 17th will become a week full of love and resentment. Let's see what movies are scheduled for that week: "Jumanji 2", which stars Kristen Stewart. The scandal between her and Ye Wei is well known; "Pride and Prejudice", its production and distributor is Focus Film, and LM is a project abandoned by Focus.
There are also two spoilers that cannot be ignored, "Money Not Life" and "Jedi Dragon". On the 18th of the next week - Sunday, another much-anticipated literary film "Song of Songs" will be released, and the commercial masterpiece "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be released.
With competition from these rivals, what kind of box office performance can "Little Miss Sunshine" perform at the box office in the first two weeks?
At the same time as announcing the release date of LM, DreamWorks Publishing also announced about it andThe only documentary "VIY Chasing Dreams, Little Miss Sunshine, and the Birth of a Prodigy" is scheduled to be released
It will premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel on October 3.
For Ye Wei, this young genius who is considered unbelievable and has yet to truly prove himself, will he complete a grand event that shocks the world? Or does it mean that the higher you are praised, the harder you fall?
The media and the public are eagerly awaiting the answer.
On the New Year's Day of 205, Rome, Italy, Palatino Hill, is the central one among the seven hills in the city of Rome. Looking from the top of the hill, you can see the ancient Roman Forum and the Coliseum, as if you can see The enthusiastic spectators and the gladiators fighting to the death.
Primitive tribes respect the storyteller, but if his story is not told well, they will kill him and eat him for dinner.
"Everyone, listen"
A young couple is standing on the edge of a hill at the ancient ruins on the top of the mountain, looking at the blue sky and the Roman city at the foot of the mountain that combines ancient and modern buildings.
Ye Wei felt the openness of his mind and the rising ambition, and shouted to the outside of the mountain: "I don't care whether you are a man or a woman, whether you are sad or happy, listen
He suddenly opened his hands, raised his head, and shouted louder and louder: "My name is Ye Wei, and my name is Gu You, "Little Miss Sunshine" will be successful, "Exorcist Video" will be successful, and my documentary will be successful too. Yes, that¡¯s me¡±
Nina next to her also opened her hands and shouted together: "Yes, this is how he wins again and again, and again."
"Success and failure are not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I have to do it. From small to large, from the beginning to now, many people say that I can't do it, I can't do this and that, screw it. I have come so far, and I will continue to go.¡±
Ye Wei roared loudly, his fighting spirit and passion bursting out, he kicked a few times, pointed his hands at the sky, and shouted:
"This year, 205, is my year. The whole world will know me, and they will definitely know me, because I will win the weekly box office championship, not in one week, but in two weeks, three weeks, and four weeks. I will get an Oscar nomination. I want to be on the cover of Time magazine, I want the whole world to shout VIY, I want to tell my mother: Mom, I have become it.¡±
Nina looked at him, her eyes were shining, and she suddenly danced with her feet lightly, "I want to get a medal at the World Youth Championship, and I want people to know me too."
"I want to tell this girl to tell the whole world," Ye Wei shouted, "if I win her, I have already won the whole world."
Nina was crazy, smiled, and danced emotionally against his body, her waist swaying, her hair flowing, "Life will get better, because we will be better."
¡°She called to a passerby on the street
He could see her crying
The soles of her feet were blistered and ulcerated
She can¡¯t walk anymore, but she¡¯s still trying
Oh, think about it again
Think about it: another day you and I will meet in heaven
Oh, think about it again
One day, you and I will meet in heaven
Think about it carefully¡±
The singing voice with a hint of sadness resounded throughout the theater, and everyone in the audience, whether students or parents, was moved. She was indeed the daughter of Phil Collins, she sang so well. Before the girl in the white dress on the stage finished singing, some people were already applauding silently.
"Oh," Lily half-closed her eyes and murmured a few times. Following the turbulent emotions in her heart and the accompanying music, she continued to sing: "
¡°Oh, God, couldn¡¯t anyone here do more?
Oh, God, you can tell me something
You can recognize her by the wrinkles on her face
You can see her there
May wander everywhere
Because there is no place for her
Oh, think about it again
Think about it: another day you and I will meet in heaven
Oh, think about it again
One day, you and I will meet in heaven
Heaventhink about it carefully
¡°Heaven¡think about it carefully¡¡±
When the accompaniment gradually faded away, the girl's singing also gradually stopped. Suddenly, the audience burst into warm applause. The audience stood up one after another. Still no one whistled or cheered. They all told the singer with the loudest applause, Tell this song how you feel in your heart.
"Thank you." Lily nodded to everyone in different directions in the audience, pursed her lips, smiled with gentle blessing, and said: "Please donate enthusiastically, thank you. I will donate 50,000 US dollars first. I hope it can help to people in need.¡±
The applause of the crowd suddenly became louder, and there were two abrupt student shouts, and more young people were about to cheer. Lily raised her hand to suppress it, and frowned and said ""You guys are so naughty, please take it seriously" with an expression that was sassy and playful, she said loudly: "Thank you, next is the 'Broadway Kids, club improvisational performance, please.'" "
After saying that, amidst the applause, she turned and walked to the right side of the stage. When she walked into the side aisle, the smile on her face disappeared, and her lowered eyes were filled with mist.
