- It is no secret that Ye Wei is competing for the right to adapt "The Lovely Bones", but on the first weekend of December, a gossip website suddenly broke a shocking news:
A few days ago, at Alice Sebold¡¯s house, Ye Wei and Peter Jackson had a fight!
This is not baseless fabricated news by gossip tabloids like the National Enquirer. There is a series of photos to prove it!
All can be seen on the newly launched website tmz (thirty-my-zone), where the photos were apparently taken behind the scenes of the Sebolds' house, where they were chatting around a round table in the garden and getting increasingly excited. , Peter Jackson got up and rushed over, Ye Wei also got up and rushed over, both of them were furious, and were pulled back by others.
?According to reports, Jackson struck first, and the two were pulled apart before they could fight.
Then there was another series of photos. Ye Wei stood there tearing the paper, not knowing what he was doing.
? tmz¡¯s guess is that ¡°tearing up the book¡±, the talk collapsed, Ye Wei got angry and tore up a copy of tlb?
This speculation was quoted by the media, which made TLB fans angry and made Weihei laugh at it. Neutral people can't stand it either. This is so inappropriate. Tearing up the book is ungraceful and childish. You deserve to be beaten! Jackson, who struck first, looked like a hero who taught the arrogant kid a lesson.
Movie fans are shocked! A genius, a Peter the Great, fought there.
lms is becoming a phenomenon. "King Kong" will be released on the 14th. This has become the first hot gossip since TMZ opened the website, and the number of clicks is rising sharply.
Hype? Does Jackson need it? unnecessary. Does Ye Wei need it? Not needed now. Then there's the scandal. Awards season is reaching a critical moment, and scandals do no good.
This matter quickly received an official response, almost a joint statement. Ye Wei's spokesperson Leslie Datra said in a matter-of-fact tone: "They had a very emotional discussion. TLB has an unusual story. When they had some arguments, the situation got out of hand. They have talked about it afterwards. It¡¯s nothing.¡±
Peter Jackson¡¯s spokesman Matt Dravitzki also confirmed this statement to the media: ¡°They were all too serious and things just got out of hand.¡±
Regarding the theory of tearing up the books, Leslie denied: "Those papers were all written in imitation of Susie's handwriting. He was a little depressed at the time because he thought of Susie's pain."
At the same time, Alice Sebold personally spoke to the media and clarified the false rumors that Ye Wei had torn up the book. She said: "Weige is a very mature young man. I have never seen anyone like him. Young people have their talents. We talked a lot that day. He really understood TLB and really cherished Susie. The paper he tore was his sincerity. There were hundreds of pieces of paper, each one filled with words. of his love for Susie."
She added: "Both Wei Ge and Peter have sincere and touching opinions on this story. Their differences only stem from how the movie should be shot."
As for the ownership of the copyright, Siebold is still considering it.
Now the truth is revealed, Ye Wei is not without grace, but he is manly and emotional. It's up to people to believe it or not, but anyone with a discerning eye can see her love for Ye Wei from Sibod's words. The situation seems to be different from what the outside world guessed. In this competition, it is not Peter Jackson who has the upper hand, but
Hitfix website quoted a report like this: "Ye Wei leads the battle for TLB adaptation rights?"
¡¡
During the Thanksgiving holiday that just passed, Ye Wei and Nina were as happy as eating honey all the time. It was all about their love for each other.
With the expectation of traveling around the world next summer, Nina is no longer in a hurry to move to Los Angeles. She has to make a plan before taking action! My career cannot stop, viy has an excellent girlfriend!
Ye Wei knows her well. Nina is a very competitive person who was raised in the arena. She is not the kind of girl who doesn't want a career, but she doesn't want much either. Like, "You see, I'm not bad." ". Of course he fully supports it. He is neither a chauvinist nor a feminist. He just thinks that lovers should be compatible while maintaining their own independent personalities. Career is one of the manifestations of independence.
The two have already negotiated to join "Carrie".
"Carrie" has been seeking to produce a new version over the years, and the reason for this time and the key to whether it can be successful lies in whether the two are willing to join. To elaborate, it is whether Ye Wei is willing to at least be a planner. If he doesn't want to, Lionsgate won't invest and the project will be stalled.
After the holiday, Ye Wei gave the final decision to Lionsgate and the Stephen King team. He could be the planner, but Nina must play Carrie, and he had no obligation to participate in future publicity activities.
¡°No problem!¡± Jon Fehrheimer, CEO of Lionsgate, agreed without even thinking about it, so why did he need to think about it? When invitedWhat did you tell viy? Jon tried to please him even more: "Weige, in this project, you have the power to be the producer. You can put forward any opinions you have, including the screenwriters and directors. We can't ask for anything more."
Ye Wei¡¯s status is different now. Tet may have a lot of luck, but LMS shattered all doubts. A layman would look down upon him if he didn't understand, but that's not Jon. There is no need to doubt Viy's ability, at least not until one failure. Just leave the matter to Viy and wait to count the money.
??Besides, building a good relationship with this genius is Lions Gate¡¯s long-term plan. Even if you lose a little this time, you will make a profit.
Stephen King is also very happy, and there is finally hope for a successful new version!
There are many things involved in the specific negotiations, so Ye Wei leaves it to his agent and lawyer. How can he manage so much? An extra contract and a guest contract are hundreds of pages long. Nina's contract is also negotiated by them. In fact, CAA has already wanted to sign Nina. He has been thinking about it, so he should take this opportunity to officially sign an agent. Brian is not bad.
¡°It¡¯s actually because I can¡¯t do it without an agent, and I have to have an agent do some things. Of course he can't really be an agent, nor can he be an agent, because the Talent Agency Act stipulates that agents cannot own film companies, not even a single share. This matter needs to be separated, and one must not be a broker or an employer.
He is the boss of three independent film companies, so he cannot apply for a license to be an agent, but he can work behind the scenes, like Julia Roberts, who is also Emma's nominal agent.
Or become a manager, a manager is fine.
¡¡
Since the release of LMS, Brian has been smiling every day, and he is one of the most important managers of CAA!
"Who would have thought?" He has been saying this to his family recently, at home, at work, and at the country club, as well as these words: "Ye Wei is a genius!", "Weige is a genius!" The smartest young man I have ever seen.", ""Little Miss Sunshine" is a miracle!", "Damn it, there is another project I want to join."
It's really busy. Too many projects are invited by CAA to invite Ye Wei to join, not just guiding editors, including actors! There is no starring role yet, and there are a lot of supporting roles and guest roles. Many of them are people who want to try their luck and take advantage. If you tell Wei, if Wei says no, then no.
There is another good news! Wei Ge is finally willing to sign an agent for his baby Nina Dobrev.
Brian used to disdain this Canadian girl, thinking she was just a groupie. But things have changed a long time ago. "The Exorcism Video" made Nina Dobrev very popular. Her appearance, strength, luck, and room for growth are all very good, and she also has a boyfriend like viy. This girl Will become an A-list star.
He didn¡¯t dare to neglect her. No agent would neglect her.
The reason is simple, Nina Dobrev is happy, Ye Wei is happy, Nina Dobrev is unhappy, and Ye Wei is unhappy.
Only when ace players like Ye Wei are happy can the management work be considered done well. Artists can leave the agency they signed with at any time, and ace clients are always aces wherever they go.
From Brian¡¯s point of view, it¡¯s great for Dobrev to become a horror scream queen first, and it¡¯s her blessing to be able to play ¡°Carrie¡±, and her career will be smooth once she succeeds.
And this is Ye Wei's arrangement. How can he have any objection? The focus of his work is still on Wei. The planning of low salary is not his pursuit, but the highly anticipated new viy project that is one of the focus of the company's affairs.
He knows something about the inside story. No matter what the reason is, he only has two requirements: one, a teenage heroine, and two, DreamWorks¡¯ participation in investment.
¡°We most want to do independent film projects, but we are destined to be semi-independent at best.
¡°If Weige wins the adaptation rights of TLB, this is how things will work: he will buy it with any of his film companies or start a new one, then use the adaptation rights to establish a project, find investors, and will also be the future distributor. There is no doubt that it will be old friends such as DreamWorks, Playtone, and ifc. His own company will also invest, and the proportion will be determined at that time.
"The same will be true for other projects such as "Soul Surfer". In fact, after Weige announced SS, major film producers expressed interest in investing.
This is semi-independent. Fully independent means that there is no figure related to a major studio in the list of producers. LMS can still be considered fully independent, but Wei's new project is definitely not, because DreamWorks is being sold, and it is rumored that the talks with NBC Universal are almost complete.
The box office of LMS was very good, but it was not enough to save DreamWorks from its predicament. It only allowed it to shine with the last dream before it collapsed.
Of course, tlb and ss are not Brian's favorites. Each of these two projects has a maximum budget of 50 million, which should normally be around 30 million. Agents cannot participate in box office dividends and take client's pointsIt's none of his business how much bonus viy gets, but how much remuneration viy gets.
With a budget of 30 million, how much can you get from 10% of the salary?
The key is that now viy is fully capable and has the opportunity to shoot commercial blockbuster projects!
"Wei Tai is very good at making money. The results of "Wedding Day is Coming" and "Napoleon" are on the same level. The former lost to North America and won to the world, 38.56 million/62.48 million, while the latter won to North America and lost to the world, 44.54 million/46.11 million. The Hess couple's new film "The Mad Priest" had a budget of 32 million, an increase of 80 times.
??Here, after tet and lms, even though he is only 17 years old, 30 million is just a starting point now. Whether it is capped or not, it depends on whether he can fight for it or not.
No one mentions "The Home of Stray Dogs", which was prepared for mediocre or failed LMS results. It has become unsuitable in all aspects. Even if Weige said, "I want to shoot this," no one would let him. What a waste! A genius like viy, who can make James Cameron look like James Franco, either doesn't make commercial films, or if he wants to make commercial films, he makes big productions.
The 27-year-old James Franco has directed, produced and starred in two films, "Gold Digger" and "King of the Apes". They are both low-cost films and could not be found at several film festivals this year. to any release. For a popular star like him, as long as there is some quality, distributors are willing to try it, but the filming is so bad. So much so that some media joked: "James, you should go act."
Not everyone is an all-rounder, and not everyone is a gold mine.
On this day, along with a lot of amazing news, another project extended an olive branch to Ye Wei. Brian couldn't help but hiss, this project is great!
¡¡
Good news from Alice Sebold!
Although the gossip about fighting and tearing up books somehow arose, it was better to leave the matter to public relations. Ye Wei was happy that he got another chance to interview Alice, and this time there would be no Peter Jackson. This means that Alice's balance is really tilting towards him, and the dawn of success is beginning to appear!
It¡¯s not too early to be happy! Ye Wei told himself that in order to win this competition, he must completely impress Alice, eliminate her doubts and strengthen her determination.
"On the other hand, he and Roberts had talked about "Soul Surfer." The success of LMS has greatly increased his personal prestige, and Roberts is more willing to believe in him, but she still has a wait-and-see attitude on whether to let Emma play Bethany, waiting for the result of TLB to be finalized.
On the morning of Sunday, Ye Weizheng went shopping in the East Business District of Brentwood with Nina and Dodo, who had come to Los Angeles.
After a short vacation in Toronto, Duoduo became obsessed with skiing. From the beginning, she was clumsy and soon became like a flyer. Thanks to Nina, she is a good master. It¡¯s not enough to be back in Los Angeles, I¡¯m clamoring to ski every day. Even when I walk now, I look like I'm skiing from time to time, which is very funny.
"Whoa!" Nina was still adding sound effects and playing with Duoduo.
??The phone vibrated with the private number. Ye Wei took it out of his trouser pocket and looked at it. He was suddenly surprised, Steven Spielberg.
"I'll answer the phone." The caller must have something to do. He walked away a little. There was no one on the street. He was the only one around. Looking at Nina and Dodo walking in front, he answered the call: "Hello, Steve. arts."
¡°Boy, DreamWorks is going to be sold.¡± Spielberg¡¯s voice sounded like he was feeling emotional.
Ye Wei was stunned and blurted out: "fuck"
"Eleven years." Spielberg sighed with a vicissitude of smile, "The dream that I have had for eleven years is over. It will be announced in a few days, Paramount."
"Oh?" Ye Wei was startled again. The previous news had always been from Universal, but the result was really unexpected. But is there a difference between Universal and Paramount? He couldn't help but sigh: "Steven, I'm so sorry for you and for independent films. This is a very, very huge loss."
"No one feels better. It will feel better to think that I can still make movies." Spielberg obviously did not call to express his feelings. He added: "You have the right to know this situation first. Your friendship with DreamWorks , priority cooperation rights, are all the values ??of DreamWorks, and Paramount values ??these.¡±
"To be honest, I never want to have anything to do with Hollywood. I am an independent filmmaker." Ye Wei frowned and asked as he walked: "What is Paramount planning on me?"
Spielberg said: "I want to talk to you about directing a project with a budget of $100 million."
¡ù¡ù
"I've had enough of Hollywood! Now I'm finally here. After 30 years in Hollywood, everything must follow Hollywood's logic. One day, I will be myself, although it will take a while."
Jeffrey Katzenberg, one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, 200In December 2019, "Shrek 2" stated to the media after its global box office exceeded US$900 million. - Didn't finish reading?
