- Now it's trouble, Weige has caused a big disaster.
A phone call at noon on Saturday made Terry Price furious. He also had a headache and his head almost exploded. The call came from the Sci-Fi Channel. Because Ye Wei¡¯s recent behavior was seriously inconsistent with the image of the agreement, they wanted to cancel the original contract. The documentary "VIY: Chasing Dreams, Little Miss Sunshine, and the Birth of a Child Prodigy" scheduled to premiere on October 30.
This is obviously a revenge against Ye Wei!
The Sci-Fi Channel is affiliated to NBCUniversal, the parent company of Universal Pictures, one of the six major studios, and also has a close relationship with the Disney Group. And what does Ye Wei's recent behavior refer to? They absolutely did not spare any face for the MPAA and the Sixth National Congress at yesterday's appeal meeting.
"His rudeness, rudeness, and self-righteousness are just like those of a spoiled child, and are completely inconsistent with the positive propaganda of dreams and prodigies." The Sci-Fi Channel has actually made it clear, "If he is willing to publicly apologize for his emotionally inappropriate remarks, Cooperation can continue." This weekend allowed him to think clearly.
Because it is a joint promotion cooperation, Sci-Fi Channel does not need to pay much money for breach of contract, and because Ye Wei violated the agreement first, it is almost necessary to ask for compensation from DreamWorks.
DreamWorks and NBCUniversal have always had a good relationship, but this time the other party was clearly targeting Ye Wei, with an attitude of "You don't need to say more, let him speak."
Do you want Ye Wei to apologize publicly? Price knew it was impossible and not good. Public opinion now supports Ye Wei and LMS. If Ye Wei suddenly apologizes, the anti-MPAA rating camp will become a joke, and Ye Wei will only be hated by the entire industry. .
It looks so ugly. It seems that the MPAA and the six major universities are really scared. They are probably afraid of a repeat of the ban on Oscar promotional preview films at the end of 2003.
If a movie aims to hit the awards season, the distributor will naturally have to do a good job in publicity (the Oscar-winning literary and artistic film starts from the time of filming), such as sending DVDs of the film (formerly VHS tapes) to the judges of the Oscars and other awards. , this is the promotional preview film.
There are so many films submitted to compete for Oscars every year. In fact, many of the more than 5,000 judges did not watch all those films when they voted for nominations and then selected the winners from the nominations. Films distributed with promotional DVDs have a greater chance of being watched, and thus receive more "Oh, I've seen this one, it's good, let's choose it."
Everything is for familiar faces and good impressions, so distributors have their own ideas on how to make preview film packages, such as small gifts and so on. This was in the past; APMAS (American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) soon stipulated that preview films The package cannot bring gifts, and it cannot contain any paper printed materials. Then it must be packaged in a "simple record sleeve or box". Until now, it can only be issued as a DVD with only the film itself, put into a worthless package. Or box with a sentence "For your reference" written on it.
Every year at the beginning of the awards season, distributors will be busy with this work. For independent film companies, this is the best way to compete with the six powerful distribution and public relations systems.
For the Big Six, this is a thorn in the side. Finally, at the end of 2003, the MPAA ordered a ban on member companies on the grounds of anti-piracy (preview DVDs are indeed the source of many piracy and film content leaks, but they mainly damage the interests of blockbuster films, and instead increase the survival space of independent films). They distributed preview films.
This ban is beneficial to the six major film companies, but it is poison for independent film producers. So the angry independent film producers joined forces to take the MPAA to court. In December of the same year, they won the case. The court ruled that the MPAA's ban violated the unfair competition law. The ban was abolished and preview films could continue to be released.
If LMS is determined to have the strength to compete in the Olympics, DreamWorks will do the same.
Now some movies have started. As far as Price knows, Lionsgate is going crazy this year. They are holding a "Crash" as if they are competing for the Oscar for Best Picture. They are distributing DVDs everywhere to have something to do with the awards season. Everyone has one. To exaggerate, even the cleaners have one.
Neither the Weinstein brothers do this. They usually release products selectively to targeted groups, but Lionsgate releases them indiscriminately. This may require an investment of hundreds of thousands of DVDs, which is not a small sum of money.
The failure of the ban incident has greatly reduced the prestige of the MPAA. Based on current public opinion, if independent film producers jointly sue the MPAA for unfair ratings, the outcome of the incident may be different.
But there is a reason why this has not happened for so many years. Every time unfair ratings only harm the interests of the company involved, it is always a good thing for other companies. Therefore, unlike the ban on preview films, which all benefit and lose in the six major industries, it is difficult to gather the power of the film studio group in every rating crisis.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and a sudden incident, even DreamWorks itself never thought it would cause such a big fuss!
The situation at the grievance meeting was also "out of control". Neither the senior management nor Price expected that Ye Wei's words could be so harsh. They also told him to control his emotions and accept to leave if he lost, but VIY came to the shocking " FUCK-MPAA", there are many people who scold MPAA, but he is the first person to scold MPAA so happily but unpleasantly, a 17-year-old Asian boy.
After the grievance meeting yesterday, when Price reported to the senior management, the first thing Katzenberg said was "We are in trouble." Everyone knew that there must be trouble, but they didn't expect that it would be this, a promotional documentary. Cancel playback.
The Sci-Fi Channel is a popular channel for movie promotion, but LMS is not the most suitable for promotion on it. At first, I was interested in the low cost of joint promotion, but LMS is not what it used to be. If the Sci-Fi Channel said it would cancel the cooperation a few months ago, that would be no problem, but there is only half a month left!
This is of course a serious disruption to the LMS promotion rhythm. What channel should I find to broadcast it all of a sudden? What about the ill-informed viewers waiting to watch on the Sci-Fi Channel?
¡°Trouble may still come one after another. Business is business. Maybe one day in the future, Ye Wei and the big studios will be so happy together, but not now. The Sixth Group obviously wants to show this wild horse-like boy some strength and tame him first before considering using him. If he is really a smart man and a genius, he should stop fighting the MPAA.
Nothing has gone smoothly for DreamWorks this year. It¡¯s finally come to fruition for the LMS project, which is full of hope for a good harvest, and it¡¯s like this again.
After answering the phone, Price immediately informed the senior management that he didn¡¯t know what to do.

"It's not difficult to do public relations this time. That kid made too many mistakes, and we can easily divert the attention of the outside world."
"Oh? What do you have in mind?"
"First, let's shift the focus of the rating results and let the outside world focus on the discussion, not whether the MPAA is right or not, but whether Ye Wei's behavior is appropriate. By default, there is something wrong with the MPAA and it adheres to the rules inhumanely; but Ye Wei's behavior is wrong, He is rude and arrogant. He is asking for special treatment. The MPAA does not give it. He is acting unreasonably like a spoiled child, which makes him lose his public credibility."
"That's right. Then we find some words from his remarks at the grievance meeting, add some fuel and jealousy, and turn them into ignorant, childish words and arrogant lies. The MPAA just doesn't care about a child, it doesn't mean that it can't defeat him."
"He already has the image of an arrogant, frivolous bad boy, and attacking this point will be very convincing. He has been burned out by the small achievements in the past for a long time. In addition, regardless of whether he has achievements or not, he must respect others."
"His private life must also be attacked, which will divert the attention of ordinary people faster"

In the setting sun, Catalina Island is quiet and beautiful, and the sea breeze brings the coolness of autumn.
The seagulls were returning to their nests, and Ye Wei and Nina arrived at Shuanggang Campground. Instead of staying in those cabins, the two rented camping tents and other equipment, and arrived at a high hillside to the north of the campsite. The sea to the north seemed to be close to them, and there were other tourists' tents far away. It was a good place to camp.
A long time ago, Nina figured out a mystery why Unique eats grass.
Because this is his camping philosophy, the more wilderness the environment is, the more exciting it is, and the more primitive the method is, the more addictive it is. Yunique really likes camping. Since she fell in love with him, the number of times she goes camping has increased linearly. She must go camping if she can camp in a tourist spot.
At this time, not far away covered by a small bush, the two of them worked together to assemble the tent.
Already already familiar with her skills, Nina connected the tent poles and handed them to him. Ye Wei took the tent poles and put them into the camp tube, laying out the inner tent and hanging the outer tent. After a while of joking and talking, the two of them finished the work. The blue two-person tent was raised and high-fives were given.
"We should rent a bigger one, I don't think it can survive tonight's torment."
¡°¡Don¡¯t think about it like last time!¡±
Nina hugged him fiercely, as if she wanted to wrestle him, but she was actually acting coquettishly. Ye Wei hugged her delicate and graceful body, swaying from side to side, and said with a smile: "I found you really sexy, and I was worried that some bison would sneak up on you. But no matter how dangerous this place is, it just reminds me of an Amazon jungle adventure."
"Amazon!" Nina smiled and rolled her eyes. She had heard him say it countless times. Every time he went camping, he would say it. She knew it all by heart: "There are cannibals there, and there are also ants that can kill anyone with one bite. There are a lot of dangerous plants, and piranhas!¡±
"Yes, yes." Ye Wei pinched her buttocks, let her go and went to prepare dinner, "The MPAA rating really makes me angry and disappointed, but I am not afraid. Why, because I am a Future explorers are not afraid of Amazon, so what are they afraid of? I know I will go there one day.¡±
"I'll go too." Nina followed him and started setting up the dinner together, laying out a red-checked picnic mat and placing the purchased food and fruits on it.
"That's not possible."While he was doing things, he said: "I won't let you go, it's too dangerous there." Knowing clearly what he meant, she said sweetly: "You are looking down on girls." He smiled: "I just don't want to Killed by you."
"What did you say¡¡"
"Tell the truth! There is a flower there that releases a deadly poisonous gas when it sees a beautiful girl. It's called the jealous flower."
"Is it really possible? No matter how stupid I am, I know it can't be possible."
"OK, smart guy."
The two of them arranged dinner while laughing and chatting, washed their hands with mineral water, sat on the floor and started eating, having fun from time to time. She wanted to feed him some bread, and he lamented her cruelty.
Nina has been in a long-distance relationship for more than four months. Nina is really glad that her relationship with Yunik is still as good and better, but she doesn¡¯t like long-distance relationships, not at all.
Their beginning was different from that of an ordinary couple. They lived together for the first half of the year and lived together almost every day. Even during the two months of LMS filming, they would see each other many times a week. When he returned to Los Angeles, it was as if he suddenly changed from She seems to have left a lot of personal space in her world, but in fact it is often very painful.
Everyday longing, sometimes inexplicable frustration, yes, she sometimes fantasizes, Los Angeles is a world of flowers, he is so popular, and his ex-girlfriend is a schoolmate Sometimes she suddenly wants to see him and be hugged by him. But he can only make phone calls. If he is very busy that day, or happens to be doing something and thinking about something, the conversation on the phone every day will not last long.
When she went out with her friends, they were in pairs, and she was alone. Many boys came to talk to her and wanted to flirt. She said she had a boyfriend, but those people continued to bother her. At that time, she missed Yunik so much. Be around
But every time they meet, Nina is very sure that she and Yunik have no problem and are still in love!
The stars were shining brightly in the night sky, and the Shuanggang campsite was dotted with fire. The two of them lit a kerosene lamp and placed it beside the tent, facing the sea, sitting on the floor with their arms around each other, admiring the beautiful scenery, mingling with sweetness, and having a unique feeling of their own. Romantic atmosphere.
Ye Wei doesn¡¯t like long-distance relationships, who would? I have a beautiful girlfriend who I love but are so far away. I miss her so much and worry about whether she has taken good care of me. It¡¯s really uncomfortable when desire comes. But it also gave him more time to be a workaholic, busy with piles of adaptation work for new projects.
"Yunique"
"Um?"
"Will you leave me?"
"If you don't leave me, I won't leave you. If you leave me, I will chase you back."
"I won't"
Looking at Nina's slightly confused eyes, Ye Wei kissed her slightly opened lips, "I love you so much."
"Me too" She kissed him for a while, and when he made further moves, she held down his hand on her chest, "Yunique, I'm a bit clumsy. I don't seem to know anything except 'I love you.' So I decided not to say it!¡±
Nina stood up, straightened her clothes, walked away and turned around with a sweet smile on her face, "I'll dance for you."
"Really?" Ye Wei put his hands back on the ground and looked at her with interest.
Nina, who was wearing sneakers, stood up on tiptoes, showed her right hand and made a dance gesture, then started dancing, mixing ballet, jazz and rhythmic gymnastics, gently, softly, moving according to her heart, gracefully The figure looks like a dream in the moonlight, and the eyes full of love are like stars.
Ye Wei looked at it with a smile, what else needs to be said, under the starry sky, on the seaside, on the small island, a girl was dancing for her lover. What more needs to be said.
