- "Yunique, I'm so, so, so proud of you, you're amazing! I want you to know, you're amazing! Unbelievable. I checked, and there's never been a 17-year-old nominee for Best Director. Never! But you, oh my gosh, it's a huge honor, just awesome.
I love you so much, but not because of your achievements! No, if you didn't get the nomination, we would definitely be comforting each other now, which is another kind of good. So nomination or not, you make me feel that this is so good, life is so good, we are together, so good
??????????????????????????????????? Damn, I want to say something cooler, but I can¡¯t say it, I just love you! Can¡¯t wait for the weekend, I miss you so much! You're like a cute puppy, and I want to hold you tight, but you're also like, well, a lion! You are so handsome, and it makes me want to hold you tight. You are so kind! "
"Thank you, Ninadid you prepare these words first?"
"What do you mean!"
"If not, I wouldn't wonder why I feel the same way, because we really love each other deeply and the symptoms are the same."
"Hahaha!"
Nina¡¯s sweet laughter came from the mobile phone, and Ye Wei¡¯s mood became more and more joyful. Why is it so happy to be nominated? It is precisely because of these moments, enjoying this joy with the people who are important to you. The laughter and shouts of Mom, Dad and Duo Duo are about to spread throughout Los Angeles.
Early in the morning, text boxes and e-mails were full of congratulations. When Nina finished her busy call and went back to class, Lev, Bad and the others began to scream excitedly, and their work phones were also ringing non-stop. Today It promises to be a busy day.
He was not interested in them. From the hazy sky to dawn, he wanted to go out for morning exercise. Ye Wei looked at the blessing messages from girls, Gia's, Emma's, AnnaSophia's, and Lily's: "Congratulations! For a moment I thought you weren't selected, and I thought I would say, 'It's not a big deal,' but no, it is a big deal!"
Ye Wei smiled and replied to her: "Thank you, this is why I can't be Iron Man."
After a while, Lily replied: "I laughed my head off!"
"This is why Iron Man is so fascinating."
"lol"
¡¡
Being nominated was an unexpected situation. Ye Wei suddenly had a lot of media interviews to do, both in the United States and Asia. Some of them had already been arranged and would be done whether there was a nomination; some were new and really needed some time to complete. .
But he still went to school in the morning, and the news had already spread in the school. His classmates, who were not hostile or indifferent to him, all laughed and wished him well. The celebration of the brothers was even more touching.
At noon, we had lunch in the cafeteria. We could still take a long rest at this time. Ye Wei was talking on the phone with Brian in the shade.
"The cover of "Time Magazine"!" Brian said excitedly about the new news, but also quite dissatisfied: "Finally! When "Wedding Day is Coming", you should have been on the cover, but now, finally! Weige, get ready to win an award like Genius of the Year."
Ye Wei was not very excited about the news. ¡°In fact, I have a cover mirror of Time Magazine. Basically, I am on the cover every day.¡±
Brian laughed and told another news, about Disney¡¯s new invitation.
"Snow White and the Seven Warrior Monks?" Ye Wei was stunned at first hearing it, but then he realized how interesting it was.
In the tradition, Snow White is a girl with no fighting ability. She relies on Prince Charming to bring her back to life, destroy the witch's conspiracy, and gain happiness. When Snow White personally defeated the witch with her powerful martial arts, this not only subverted the fairy tale, but also a change from male power to female power.
" Snow White fights, it is the aesthetics and values ????of the new era.
That will be a 21st century Snow White, beautiful, kind, gentle, but also heroic, strong, valiant, brave Her eyebrows must be very thick
Although there are many aspects of this project that he doesn¡¯t like, such as the historical background and the warrior monks, he was really interested in it before reading the script. He doesn't like Disney either, but this might be a bargaining chip. He smiled and said: "Let's put it into consideration."
"Weige, what are you thinking now? Let me know so that I can do my job better." Brian asked.
Ye Wei sat down on a bench on the roadside. In fact, he had already made up his mind, and it was time. He said immediately: "I have been thinking about it these days, and I have made my decision. Tell all these projects, who wants to invite When I direct, I have to meet my three principles.¡±
"What?" Brian seemed a little frightened, "Three principles?"
 "The first principle is, I want the right to write the script." Ye Wei said very seriously.
As the director of the project, if you are dissatisfied with the script and suggest changes, but the producer is not satisfied, you can withdraw from the pre-production stage: I don¡¯t like the script and you refuse to change it, so I won¡¯t shoot.
But this is a waste of time and energy. The so-called script writing rights, in other words, I have the power to be the screenwriter and make the script what I want. Please don't entertain me if you ask me to join.
For example, Yuan Heping and his team have been talking about "Snow White and the Seven Monks" for two years, but there has been no progress because they are dissatisfied with the script, and their opinions are not taken seriously by Disney, so Disney continues to let its own screenwriters make changes. This means not having the right to write.
This power can be big or small. Every project starts with a script, and the script of a high-budget commercial project naturally starts from business, and behind it is a set of sophisticated operations. The vast majority of directors who are employed like this can only film the scripts they get. They can make suggestions but cannot decide.
"Weige, this is a bit" Brian was stunned, "This is a bit urgent."
"No, that's the first principle. The second principle is that I want the right to decide on casting." Ye Wei continued, very firmly.
For big studio projects, casting matters are very complicated and lengthy. It is not the director who has the final say, but also the research and response of the production team, producers, agencies, labor unions, target groups, the opinions of the media, and fans. reactions, considerations specific to the actor's character there are too many, too many possible situations.
If the director has the right to make casting decisions written into the contract, it can greatly reduce disagreements in this area, speed up progress, and create the cast the director wants as much as possible.
Think about it, if he agrees to direct, Disney will let Kristen Stewart play Snow White! If he can't make trouble, he will definitely quit, which is a waste of time.
"Weige" Brian's tone seemed to be almost speechless, "How to choose the actors, the director will have the power. If there is a conflict, we can discuss it later. There is no need to clarify the decision-making power"
"No, it's necessary. That's the second principle. The third principle is that I want to eventually lose power." Ye Wei couldn't help but speak louder. This is the most important power among the three principles.
"What!?" Brian was dumbfounded. The joy of being nominated for a Golden Globe was probably thrown away by this basin of cold water. "Weige, the final cut rights are really too much! You are not old enough to win a final cut from a major studio. The level of power cutting is really not there yet.¡±
The final editing power is more ruthless than the previous two powers. In comparison, the casting rights become irrelevant, and it is not critical how the script is changed, because the movie becomes a movie in the editing room, and the same script and the same pile of materials are different. Editing, the difference is huge.
Final cut! It's almost like the director's cut is released directly to the public. Who dares to hand over 100 million US dollars to a director to cut it? "That empty shot has an artistic conception", "That montage is art", "The dog is shocking only when it dies" But it is another matter in the eyes of ordinary viewers. Dogs and children cannot die! If he is going to die, the director is going to die.
If this is an artistic film, OK, this is a commercial film. The risk is too great for the director to make the final cut. No film company is willing to bear it, unless it is a big director who has proven his ability to make money in the commercial field with great certainty.
"Do you know who has the final say now? Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson But, they are all these people! You haven't arrived yet , Ridley Scott, Michael Bayyou know these people don¡¯t have the final say! Don¡¯t get carried away by your nomination, you haven¡¯t arrived yet!¡±
"To tell you the truth, Brian." Ye Wei's determination did not waver at all, "I love independent production far more than making films for big studios. I know these three principles are difficult and are considered excessive according to industry rules. But only in this way can I be impressed. The right to write the script, the right to decide on the casting, and the right to make the final cut.¡±
"My genius, you haven't arrived yet!" Brian raised his voice angrily, "Things have to happen step by step. You can't go to the moon in one step. You have to shoot a commercial blockbuster first, and maybe the next project You can have it, and you want it now? DreamWorks won¡¯t satisfy you.¡±
Ye Wei stood up, walked towards the library, and said decisively: "This is my decision, just negotiate like this, if it works, it will work, if it doesn't, it won't work."
¡¡
When he arrived at the library, Ye Wei had already ended the call with Brian. No one had convinced anyone, but on this matter, he would not change his mind, no matter what.
Only in this way will he still be viy, not a Hollywood director for hire.
Walking in the Mingya reading area on the first floor, Ye Wei saw a group of familiar girls over there and walked over to say hello, "Hey girls! "I can't see Lily here.
"Viy!", "Wei!" Connie and the other five girls immediately responded with laughter. They all stood up from their chairs at the round table and said words of congratulations. Almost all of them said "Awesome!"
Ye Wei raised his hand to high-five them, "Actually, I would rather nominate another Golden Globe Award, for football, the kind of football I play." The girls burst into laughter, and they took a photo with their mobile phones, "Today is really awesome. A day worth remembering." "Yeah!"
"Yes." Ye Wei hugged their shoulders carelessly, one after another, smiling at the mobile phone camera, "Come on, let's take a lot of photos."
After all, this is the library. This movement immediately attracted the reprimand of the teacher on duty. The girls smiled and sat back at the table to continue their review. Ye Wei asked them: "Have you seen Lily?"
"Lily went to the second floor to look for books. I don't know." Connie said.
"Excuse me, I'm going to say hello to her." Ye Wei strode towards the stairs on the second floor. Along the way, he finally got a decent nomination and wanted to chat with her face to face. Going up to the second floor, students in the reading area were reading quietly. He went to the book collection area and looked into the aisles between the rows of bookshelves.
When we got further inside, we saw Lily standing sideways at the end of the aisle on the left. He said hello and walked over, "Lily!"
Lily¡¯s whole body jumped, as if she had been frightened. She quickly put something back into her handbag, turned around and looked with a bit of panic on her face, "Wei why are you here"
"I have to go to school too, what is that?" Ye Wei walked up to her, confused and curious about what that ghostly thing was just now.
"Stop gossiping, girls' things" Lily gave a look that said she couldn't talk to boys.
Ye Wei nodded. Girls always have a lot of stuff, and their handbags are like treasure bags. She smiled and said, "Hey, aren't you going to give me a compliment? I will accept any compliment today."
Lily rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes at him, then walked out of the aisle, adjusting her still frightened heart, and once again thought about those few text messages in the morning. When she thought of this today, she couldn't help but laugh, and this time she laughed. He laughed out loud: "Haha!"
First, she said, "It-is-a-b-deal!" This bastard said, "This-is-why-i-can't-be-iron-man." She didn't react immediately, but she thought about it before she understood. I mean, I really laughed out loud. He was joking back and she was sarcastic, like she was saying "G-deal!", he is not an iron-man, he is an irony-man, irony (irony) has an extra "y", just because his last name has the letter "y" He was ranked almost last before being read out by the sixth one, and she thought for a moment that he was not selected. It's not okay for superheroes to arrive so late.
This sentence had so many interesting meanings that she couldn't stop laughing. She replied "laughing-my-head-off!" The bastard immediately replied "this-is-ing." This time she knew how to understand it. , I immediately understood that there is no y in Iron Man, and if I put the y together with her laughing head, it would be heady (intoxicating). I really admired it.
"Haha!" The more she thought about it, the funnier it became. Lily smiled and rolled her eyes at Ye Wei again, "I can't praise it, I've lost my head."
"Oh? Poor guy." Ye Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and reached out to pat her hair on the head, "Okay, put it back."
"Thank you, Ironic Man!"
"That's it? No more likes? Please!"
"genius!"
