- "Brother! Will you come to see me play the piano today?"
¡°When did you learn piano!?¡±
The morning sun shines into Ye Wei's dining room. Toto follows Gu Qiao who is preparing breakfast and walks around the dining table. Ye Haogen is reading the "Los Angeles Times". Duoduo on the chair next to him is holding a wireless phone microphone and talking to Ye Wei hands-free. She was talking on the phone with a big smile on her little face.
¡°The first lesson today is from 5 to 6 pm!¡±
"I will go, this is a big day. But mom? Dad? Is this appropriate? Duoduo is only over 5 years old."
¡°It¡¯s best to start learning piano at the age of five.¡± Gu Qiao walked by and said lightly, and Ye Haogen said, ¡°You also started learning piano at the age of five.¡±
"Me? I can't even play the happy birthday song now."
"Of course you can't play with your fingers." Gu Qiao sneered, and Ye Haogen laughed to reconcile. Naturally, they were not happy about their son's tattoo, but now Ye Wei didn't care about it at all.
"Seriously, Duoduo is so lively, is it okay to learn piano?" Ye Wei asked in a confused voice, "What about dancing? What about sports? Duoduo likes football very much, right Duoduo."
Gu Qiao said solemnly: "I can learn all those things. Let's see what she is suitable for and what she is interested in. Duoduo is different from you."
"I want to learn to dance! Like Nina, she dances so beautifully." Duoduo said, dancing happily, and then asked: "Brother, I haven't seen Nina for a long time, when will she come to play? I want to follow She learned dancing and makeup.¡±
"Xiao Tiandou, Nina and I" Ye Wei stopped talking, "Nina is very busy. You want to learn dancing and makeup. I'll ask Master Gia to teach you."
"Oh!" Duoduo said with a disappointed face, "I miss Nina so much! I miss you too, you haven't been home for a long time."
"My brother is also very busy. How about this? Mom, after Duoduo finishes her piano lessons in the afternoon, our whole family will go to have dinner together, watch a movie, and then go home."
"Okay, okay!" Duoduo clapped her hands happily, "What movie are you watching? Brother's?"
"No, my brother is not so fast. The newly released "Nanny McPhee" is ready."
"It's time to have breakfast, stop talking." Gu Qiao took Duoduo's wireless microphone and hung up the phone. Ye Haogen asked uncertainly, "Just what Wei said?" Gu Qiao looked at Duoduo who was shouting and said, Sigh: "Go ahead, go ahead, but your brother is getting more and more outrageous."
Brother doesn¡¯t look like a flower? Duoduo's head was full of questions, thinking about her brother, who never seemed like a flower! Rather like a tree! Very high.

After confirming the purchase of the North American rights of "Half Nelson" for 1.5 million, Ye Wei made a few phone calls and secured its distribution because he was willing to pay.
The production and distribution of movies are like this. The speed of success depends on the speed of money.
Publishers are no strangers to hn. Its quality is obvious to all, but no one is willing to take risks for it. But then again, no one is a prophet when it comes to movie distribution. Those who say it will definitely lose money must definitely make money? The movie has no affirmations.
This is my first time purchasing a film for distribution, so I will lose money. Ye Wei spent another 1 million to promote hn. This is more effective than saying "hn is a good movie" ten thousand times.
Things will work like this, there will be a one million promotional fee, the publisher will be responsible for the distribution fee, and it will be jointly distributed. In the future, the distribution fee will be deducted from hn's box office gross profit first, and then the promotion fee. In this way, it is difficult for the publisher to lose money, and at most it will not make any money, but it can still make profit from the issuance fee.
Only when hn¡¯s box office gross profit deducts the distribution fee and can also deduct the one million promotion fee, and then divide the accounts, and the producer can get back 1.5 million, will it not be considered a loss.
But since he also contributed money and took major risks, the split ratio was certainly not 50/50, but 30/70 (distribution/production).
Although publishing for hn has become low-risk in this way, because in the end it is likely to be a waste of work or to make a little money, there are still not many interested publishers.
Ye Wei originally wanted to cooperate with Lions Gate, but Lions Gate¡¯s distribution list was full. The finalization of ¡°Soul Surfer¡± to be distributed by Lions Gate has satisfied Lions Gate¡¯s preparations for the next awards season. SS is the top seed, No. 2 is "Akira and the Spelling Bee" released by Lionsgate, and No. 3 is "Strong Candy," which became famous at Sundance last year.
"Fruit Candy" is a good movie. At the celebration party of "Legacy Dog", Ye Wei also met Ellen Page, a talented actress who speaks for herself with her strength. She is only 19 years old, but so talented. I really want to work with her if I have the chance.
The publisher of hn is ifc.
In the past few years, ifc's distribution strategy has been 10-15 movies per year. The success of "Wedding Day is Coming" in 2004 and the minor success of "Love Me, You Him" ??in 2005 gave IFC a taste of the sweetness. Starting from this year, it will release 30 movies per year. Department, hope??Increasing the base can lead to more business miracles.
So releasing hn is not a problem for ifc, but if there is no one million promotion fee, there is no guarantee that the maximum screening scale will be at least 100 theaters. It will only be ordinary treatment. One or two theaters will test screen for a week or two, and then continue. If it doesn¡¯t work, just draw.
With that million, ifc is shouting "I want it, I want it", and hn has become its most important release project this year, followed by "The Handyman" starring Matt Dillon.
Ye Wei is not worried that ifc will waste hn, not if he has money. This publicity fee is not just handed over to the distributor to use it for advertising, but how to use it? James Patricov and others continue to go to domestic and foreign film festivals, do good public relations, and win awards. Naturally, there will be media interviews. .
The key is to expand word-of-mouth reputation. The success or failure of a movie like hn does not depend on the public, but on the film critics and art theater audiences. Even if you attract those who only like popcorn to watch it, it will only lower the evaluation of this movie.
hn is initially scheduled to be released on the eve of this year's awards season, in August and September. If it has established a reputation among film critics and fans, it will depend on what level it is, and the promotion will be stepped up to hit the awards. season.
This is the normal distribution method for niche literary and independent films. Ye Wei doesn't have to worry about it. The Flecks care more about it than him.
If his three films had not failed, if the release of "Half Nelson" had not failed, everyone would be his rival in next year's awards season.
¡¡
Recently, the joint headquarters of Weiduo Image, Dream Chaser Alliance, and Cliff Films moved to a new home, located on the first floor of an office building on 13th Street in Santa Monica.
A medium-sized office hall, two offices and a good conference room are enough to handle various meetings for film production.
There are only two employees in the three companies, Chen Nuo's cousin Jay Chen and the newly hired Maureen Bulwer. They all hold multiple jobs and do almost everything. As for financial accounting, lawyers, public relations, etc. Collaborate with professionals.
It will be difficult for the two of them to be lazy in the future. This is also Ye Wei's office, and an office is used by screenwriters for mobile use. His personal team has also moved in, including projects such as Gia, Parela, and Essa Bertel. Assistants and colleagues will often appear.
Despite this, he plans to hire two more work assistants and a life assistant to cope with the increasing number of tasks. The current efficiency is still too slow for him, and he also needs more time to do more things.
Because of Gia¡¯s resignation, life assistants have become an urgent matter, but it is difficult to hire them. It¡¯s not that there is no one, but they must be reliable and trustworthy, and don¡¯t really become an ¡°insider¡±.
Since entering the industry, this is not the first time that Ye Wei has encountered such a situation where he does not know who his enemy is. Who is scolding him to the media? Complain to sag about him?
Could it be Blake Fraley? He can neither doubt others casually, nor not doubt some suspicious people, which is very contradictory. At this time, Janeseth Rodriguez, who calls him by her real name, is even cuter. revenge? There is nothing to take revenge on.
Ye Wei knows that many people have also mentioned that he is too popular. Even if there is no conflict of interest, it involves many more complicated aspects, and many people don't like him.
Even if there is no scandal, there will be some scandals. If there is a scandal, it will only add fuel to the flames.
Once again, he is not afraid! Making movies, making money-making movies, and making good movies cannot be stopped by anyone who scolds him and badmouths him.
Leslie has already done public relations, and generally adopts a cold approach, because these things cannot be explained clearly, and it is best to adopt a serious attitude and respond with facts. The quality of the talent show is not determined by itself, but by how good the three movies are and how good the performances of the ten girls are.
In fact, "all news is good news" is still valid. As long as the filmmakers themselves are not defeated and the film withstands the test, these are just propaganda.
Ye Wei knows this very well and these controversies cannot hurt him. But for those girls, he was worried that they would be affected. It should be said that they were definitely affected. They were all proud people and shy people. To be said like this, the Olsen sisters were shocked when they thought about it.
From the perspective of movies, talent shows, and personal life, he has the responsibility to make these controversies build them up instead of destroying them.
Don¡¯t worry about your talent, ask yourself if you have a strong willpower first!
¡¡
? It was nearly 4 o¡¯clock that afternoon, in the bright sunshine, the joint headquarters ushered in ten young and beautiful figures.
The still simple office became lively. Gia expressionlessly received the group of young and old girls who arrived almost at the same time, including Saoirse, Kelsey, Alicia, Jennifer, Xie Lin's mother, and nanny assistant. Something like that, they went to the reception area on the side.
"Please come with me." JiYa led ten people to the conference room.
Liz is wearing a neutral style red jacket and jeans, Maudie white skirt, Dakota black skirt, Jennifer brown jacket and overalls, Saoirse casual princess skirt, Shailene black jacket and pencil pants. How could it be possible without Emma Roberts, wearing exquisite light makeup and a bohemian style floral dress.
Since Bastard and Nina announced their breakup, Gia¡¯s cell phone has been blasted by Emma. Emma is crazy, and the scandal between Bastard and Amy Rosen has made her even more crazy.
Gia really didn¡¯t want to get involved in these things, and she was given a gag order not to say more. Whatever Emma asked, she always said, ¡°Don¡¯t ask me, ask Ye Wei.¡±
Because of the controversy over the talent show, the girls were a little serious. Emma was not among them. She came closer and asked in a low voice: "Master Gia, how are you today?"
"Yeah." Gia responded meaninglessly, muttering in her heart: "Emma, ??please don't provoke him. Even Lily can't cure him this time, so who do you think you are?"
Within a few steps, she arrived in front of the conference room. Gia opened the door and shouted inside: "Everyone is here." She opened the door and the girls filed into the conference room.
Emma ran in first and saw Ye Wei walking in a simple and elegant room wearing a red sweater and jeans with a smile. Oops, he was wearing the wrong clothes! Wei and Olsen seemed to be pretending to be a couple "Hi! Wei." She said hello, smiling with her lips pursed and her eyes unblinking.
"Ladies, welcome." Ye Wei greeted the girls and looked at Emma with a smile.
The girls greeted each other with many different names: "viy.", "Wei.", "Director.", "Mr. Ye.", "Vine."
At that moment, Gia closed the door and left. Everyone sat down at the rectangular conference table. The seat cards were sorted according to project and role size. Ye Wei was sitting in the upper seat, with a laptop on the table in front of him and nothing else.
Everyone is curious, what kind of meeting is this? Can I attend or not?
"Let me tell you something interesting." Ye Wei looked around at the ten girls. Modi in the middle on the right blushed. Why is she shy? He laughed and continued: "Yesterday SAG notified me that I should cooperate with the investigation on whether there were any violations in the draft."
There was a crisp exclamation, and indignation immediately filled the air. Emma and Kelsey wanted to curse, Liz and Dakota also frowned, and Moody's face was suppressed to become even redder.
"Maybe SAG will also ask you to cooperate with the investigation and tell them the truth." Ye Wei knew that Emma, ??Liz, Dakota, Xie Lin, and Kelsey were SAG members, but the others were not. Kelsey is used to the world and doesn't need to be taught how to say it.
Everyone nodded, and Ye Wei said again: "You are not invited here because of this matter. It's nothing. Let Sag worry about it."
"I want to talk to you about how we should deal with the recent and future doubts and controversies against us. I chose you, but the outside world is not satisfied and unhappy. Many people complain about why Susie is not Ai Ma Watson, why Elizabeth Olsen?¡±
Ye Wei looked at Liz on the upper right.
Liz was also looking at him, with a confident smile and cunning gray eyes like cats, "Because I'm suitable."
"The outside world doesn't think so." Ye Wei turned to look at Emma, ??Xie Lin, Jennifer, Alicia and Candice on the left, and said, "What do the outside world say? Elizabeth Olsen won Susie because Her surname is Olson, Elizabeth¡¯s temperament is wrong, Elizabeth¡¯s hair color is too blonde!¡±
He pointed at Liz with his black-gloved right hand and said to everyone: "But they don't know that this guy is an acting genius! I can tell you that she is the best actress here, just now."
Liz made a strange glare, "Thank you." The girls all looked at her with different thoughts. Emma frowned slightly, why, Liz also stared!
"But if you can sit here, no one is bad." Ye Wei looked to the left again and saw Emma sitting upright quickly, "Speaking of Emma Roberts, people who are too petite don't know that she is performing How powerful Shailene Woodley can be. People who have a monotonous expression don¡¯t know how touching she can be.
People who say Jennifer Lawrence is just a country rookie don¡¯t know that she is also an acting genius. People who say Alicia Vikander can¡¯t even speak English well don¡¯t know her passion for art. People who say Candice -Akola is someone who doesn¡¯t know how much she has learned over the years,
People who say that Maudie Symington is only shy and looks like other people don¡¯t know how smart she is when she performs; people who say that Saoirse Ronan is so small that she can¡¯t even be found don¡¯t know that she just does it for performances. People who say Dakota Johnson is as cold as a zombie don¡¯t know how cold she is.Suitable for Ruth, saying that Kelsey-Chow is biracial is not suitable for people who don¡¯t know what a movie is! "
As Ye Wei¡¯s voice got louder, the expressions on the young faces of the girls changed, and the atmosphere in the conference room became tense.
They all understood that this was a mobilization meeting, and viy wanted to motivate them.
"They don't know, and I don't know either!" Ye Wei looked around at the ten people, "But I have confidence in you. You let me see the possibility that you will be excellent actors and will combine your respective talents. The possibility of the role coming to life, girls, work hard, work hard!¡±
"There are many people out there waiting for this ending. I made the movie badly and you acted like shit. They laughed at us for fun and insulted us, 'I told you so!'"
The indignation became more and more intense, the girls' breath became a little heavier, and Liz, the calmest one, had a cold face.
"Wei, let's unite to support you!" Emma angrily put forward an idea, which immediately received strong support from many people. Modi also said: "Yes!"
"No!" Ye Wei said very seriously: "I need you to ignore those voices, mine and yours, and don't pay attention to them, argue, or ruin your mood. What you have to do is to prepare well, perform well, and then shine in the big world. On the screen.¡±
"But" Emma muttered, Kelsey, Maudie and Candice were also reluctant. Jennifer narrowed her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.
"Listen to me, from today on, from now on, I will be very, very strict with you. You will have to work harder and suffer more than if you were in another movie. If any of you are afraid, If you don¡¯t want to, have no interest, or have no confidence, just quit now if you¡¯re afraid of embarrassment and tell me later, don¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time.¡±
Ye Wei's stern voice made the conference room fall into silence. No one among the girls left. Not only Modi blushed, but Liz was also a little excited: "Then you should continue."
"Very good! That's you." Ye Wei smiled, "I'm very happy. I thought one or two people would quit. No need to guess who it is, it's just a matter of probability."
"Haha." The girls chuckled one after another. The atmosphere was relaxing, but there was a sense of stability after perseverance.
They heard Ye Weixiao say again: "It's time to respond. Tell those people my attitude. Do you know?"
"What?" The girls were confused, curious, expecting, and interested. What's their attitude?
"Come here, there's a good show to watch. Come and watch, I'll take care of it." Ye Weixiao opened the laptop. The girls got up and walked around, standing around him. Emma suddenly exclaimed: "You Want to post a blog?" Liz raised the corner of her mouth, and Candice laughed.
"Yes, you guessed it right." Under the attention of everyone, Ye Wei logged into his blog online, and he and they both saw the joint breakup statement at the top.
Several girls raised their eyebrows, while Kelsey, Saoirse, and Xie Lin felt quite sorry.
Ye Wei quickly clicked on writing a new diary, pressed his hands on the keyboard, and said with a smile: "Are you ready? In the end, whether I will be laughed at by others for the rest of my life, or whether I will laugh for the rest of my life, all depends on your performance."
The girls burst into laughter. What was he going to write?
Ye Wei said while typing on the keyboard: "Emma Roberts, Shailene Woodley, Elizabeth Olsen, Saoirse Ronan, Maudie Symington, Dakota Johnson, Kyle Qian Zhou, Candice Accola, Jennifer Lawrence, Alicia Vikander.
¡°They are all very good actresses and very suitable for the roles they are going to play. They are the future of the big screen, I say.
?????????? If anyone disagrees with this, oh.
¡°I mean, no harm, but you guys aren¡¯t smart enough. "
"Hey!" All ten girls were shocked. Some laughed, some were nervous, and some blushed. Liz saw it, Jennifer saw it, and Emma saw it, and they watched Ye Wei type in the last sentence "i-mean, "No-offen, but-guys-don't-have-that-much-intelligence." And clicked publish.
