"Duoduo, my brother wants to tell you a story today."
??Under the starry sky at night, Brentwood, Ye¡¯s house. Ye Wei and Duoduo were sitting on the back porch of their house, and Toto was sleeping peacefully next to Duoduo.
"Okay, okay." Duoduo nodded, enjoying listening to her brother's stories.
The light shone on Ye Wei's smiling face. He looked at the night sky with some stars, and started thinking about something:
"A long time ago, there was a young ranger named Duoduo. He grew up in a beautiful family and grew up carefree. One day, a group of bad guys came near the village, and Duoduo's family and life were harmed at any time. He knew that he was a man and should do something, and he was lucky enough to get a martial arts manual. He practiced hard, created opportunities, and seized opportunities. After two years, he finally defeated the bad guys and the village recovered. With peace, life becomes better.¡±
"That's great!" Duoduo clapped her little hands, a smile on her little face.
"Duoduo's reputation has also spread. Everyone says that he is an unparalleled warrior. He will not just stay in that small village, he will be known to the whole world. Every time he swings his sword, an evil beast dies. Duoduo will be a big shot!"
Duoduo was waving his sword in a cheerful manner, and Ye Wei continued: "Sure enough, Duoduo's bravery attracted the attention of many empires. Those are the six most powerful empires, possessing almost the power of the whole world. They all want to recruit Duoduo to be their general."
His words paused and his tone became gloomy: "But. Those are also the six most evil empires. They have powerful national power, but they use it to do bad things. They pretend to be kind, but in fact they are only seeking profit. They recruit new forces everywhere, who doesn't If you obey, attack him, seduce him, intimidate him, try to make others surrender and get lost.¡±
"Huh?" Duoduo's expression changed and her big eyes rolled around.
"And Duoduo, Duoduo has his dreams and the ideals he pursues. When the small village was in crisis before, in order to save the village, he didn't think much about himself and saved the village first! But it's different now, there is no pressure, Duoduo is unprecedented He can make choices based on his heart, and he is ready to leave the village to find his true self."
Ye Wei looked at her, and his tone was complicated and confused: "Duoduo knows that if he becomes a general in the six empires, he will get a lot of wealth and a lot of power. Although he is controlled by the empire, he can still command a powerful army. The army conquered the city and conquered the territory, and was admired by all the people.
He has almost everything except himself.
If he goes to the six empires, it will be equivalent to selling his soul to the devil. He is no longer a ranger, he is a lackey. Toto, don't worry, it's just a metaphor. "

"The movie belongs to the director, and he either has the final editing rights, or he doesn't make it" independent film base indiewire
¡°viy gave Hollywood a punch, well done!¡± satirized the film review website mr. cranky
"Ye Wei wants to finally cut the rights to defend his ideals" popular movie blog slashfilm
"Say no to Hollywood! Praise Ye Wei's independent spirit" independent film magazine "filmmaker", the current cover character: Ye Wei
What a talent! The independent film media camp is simply buzzing with news, reviews, and interviews. How can we not praise this talented young man? Refuse to be recruited by Hollywood!
¡°Hollywood is a broad concept, a place, an industry, and a culture. In the eyes of people around the world, Hollywood may be equal to American movies. Commercial films, literary films, and independent films are all called Hollywood films.
But for filmmakers, Hollywood is not the same as American movies. From a big perspective, commercial films are Hollywood, and from a small perspective, independent films are not Hollywood. In any case, independent films are not, and independent filmmakers are not.
Although the media and the public will think that George Lucas is an important part of the New Hollywood, he has long distanced himself from Hollywood, saying, "Don't put me together with Hollywood. I make my independent movies, and then Hollywood Plagiarize me, what can I do?¡±
Independent filmmakers don¡¯t think, don¡¯t like, and in many cases have nothing to do with Hollywood.
¡° Even those who have been recruited and have been in Hollywood for a long time, let¡¯s talk about the DreamWorks gang that was just destroyed too many people disdain Hollywood.
But not everyone can draw a clear line. Tom Hanks can¡¯t, neither can Jeffrey Katzenberg, nor Ye Weineng.
Ye Wei is an independent filmmaker, he has always said this, and it is true. "Wedding Day is Coming" is an independent film, and the distributor ifc is an independent film company; "The Exorcism Video" is an independent film, and the distributor Lionsgate is an independent film company. "Little Miss Sunshine" is an independent film, and the distributor DreamWorks was an independent film company at the time.
Countless people around the world call him a Hollywood star.He hangs out in Hollywood for him, but the fact is that he and Hollywood are not absolutely parallel, but they are not the same.
His line is called independent-film.
Nowadays, Hollywood is recruiting Ye Wei with great fanfare. Everyone thinks that it is over, it must be done, and the prodigy belongs to Hollywood, just like time and time again
It turns out this guy is a tough guy! Those talented directors who have inherited the legacy of those who regard Hollywood as nothing, make movies for you? Okay, final editing rights, I want my movie to be how I want it to be.
This is the spirit of independence.
"Filmmaker" commented: "People don't understand Ye Wei's behavior because they don't understand the film production process and the huge difference between the big studio system and the independent system. viy has no final editing rights and no negotiation His attitude deserves a thumbs up from all independent filmmakers!¡±
Indiewire¡¯s comment goes like this: ¡°In the film industry, people who really love movies will like viy. This is a strange industry. People hate Hollywood and can¡¯t live without it. Not everyone has the talent and attitude to reject Hollywood. , once such a person appears, he will be respected."
?? Peter Jackson, who recently had a fight with Ye Wei, is not all Hollywood. He ridicules, scolds, and dares to tell the truth. When he makes a movie, he must go back to New Zealand to shoot. He has a very good character.
Some time ago, the Coen brothers, who praised Ye Wei, have been criticizing Hollywood for I don¡¯t know how many years. They are not Hollywood. After becoming famous with their debut film "Blood Labyrinth", the two refused to be recruited by Hollywood and made a vow to make movies: they would never become slaves to fame and fortune.
They did it and are still independent filmmakers today.
It is this film-first attitude that makes these people different from those commercial film directors who are struggling in Hollywood and produce independent classics one after another.
¡°Perhaps this is something that people who are chasing fame and wealth, cautious people, and people who don¡¯t love movies can¡¯t understand, but these people don¡¯t care.
"Viy is still the same Viy." Slashfilm website said it very well, "He is just more comfortable. The reason why his negotiations with major studios collapsed was not the salary but the final editing rights. This confirms his glory. When you face What do you think when you get a check for ten million dollars? It¡¯s really cool that Ye Wei still puts the movie first!¡±
Regarding the admiration of the independent camp, many movie fans actually expressed the same sentiments and made their voices heard in various places on the Internet:
do fangost wrote: "I used to have average feelings about this guy, but now he is one of my favorite directors." ellis-g wrote: "I'm so happy to see that the Hollywood stuff doesn't work here in viy, but Not 18 years old! I love him so much. "Barrettabababa wrote: "You should understand that this is Yunique Culler and Ye Wei! If you don't want to regret it, give it to him! .¡±¡
¡¡
Under the vast starry sky, the clear voice of telling stories continued. Ye Wei's eyes were shining when looking at the starry sky, but Duoduo was a little distracted and played with Toto's ears.
"It's not that Duoduo didn't hesitate. He thought a lot and was burdened with the expectations of many people. They wanted him to go to the six empires and become a majestic general. But a girl told Duoduo, 'You should be yourself', which reminded me The most important thing for him is what he wants. In this regard, he can know his heart clearly.
Duoduo doesn¡¯t want to be a lackey! He didn't even want to have anything to do with the six empires. No one can predict the future, but right now, no!
He is going to try, try to stick to his dream, try to find himself, try what he wants to try!
"Duoduo should try to continue to be a ranger, be independent, free, and brave, and do what you think is right, even if you die because of it, it's no big deal, Duoduo is a ranger.
So, why go to the six empires? Duoduo made a request that they would not meet his conditions. He knew that they would not, and even if they did, he would not necessarily go. He would just tell them his attitude. But the six empires were very angry. They shouted at Duoduo, 'How dare you! ¡¯
You are just a mere ranger. Now you have the opportunity to be a general. How dare you say no? How dare you do this? How dare you! ? "
"Hahahaha!" Ye Wei said and laughed, stood up, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "'Yes, I dare.' Say it a lot."
Dodo and Toto also got up, joking and joking on the porch, almost not listening.
¡°There are more than just six empires in this world. If you look away from them, don¡¯t be afraid of the fog. In fact, there are free and independent places everywhere!
Duoduo understood this and remembered this. His reputation was not given by the six empires. His village was a free and independent place.
He knew what to do,The purpose of leaving the free small village is not to enter a big cage, but to make the small village stronger! He wants to unite independent kingdoms like Lionsgate and pursue his dreams.
One day, he will establish his own independent kingdom, a new country.
¡°One day, the dignitaries of the six empires will beg him to go and give him everything he wants, but Duoduo will say, ¡®Go away, leave me alone! I don¡¯t want what you give me, and I don¡¯t need it either. "
They will be surprised to see that a mere ranger becomes a monarch, a new country rises, and another free and independent land is created! The name is:
Dream Chaser Alliance.
Isn¡¯t that the small village he used to live in? "
¡ù¡ù
Because of all the recent controversies, some people hate Ye Wei, some like Ye Wei more, some are waiting and watching, and some believe there is another truth.
However, according to media reports, the little tyrant¡¯s career troubles go far beyond the breakdown of negotiations with the six major studios!
