"I mean, no offense, but you guys don't have that much intelligence."
Ye Wei, blog diary "Essays"
The day before the Oscar nominations were announced, the media was already in an uproar because of Ye Wei's response to the controversy at the talent show, viy style, arrogant! Vicious tongue! bad!
Movie fans love this to death, another classic quote from Ye Wei.
Before saying anything, say "no-offen", "I didn't mean to offend you", "I didn't mean it that way", and then the next sentence is offensive to you, but there is no way to refute it, and you will be speechless and unable to swallow it. I had to swallow it, and my face was filled with colors.
Intelligence is really a cunning word. It can refer to intelligence. Viy means "you don't know much about the draft, so you think they are not good enough." This is a gentle way of saying it. It is just a misunderstanding caused by a lack of understanding.
But intelligence can also refer to intelligence, "You people are so retarded, how stupid do you have to be to think bad of them? Don't be angry, no offense intended!"
The Weihei people were so angry that they could not say anything.
When reporting in the media, they cannot use titles such as "viy bombards doubters with retardedness" and "genius's arrogant remarks". At most, they are ridiculing. It is better to report the original sentence and let people understand it for themselves: "viy: tempt-guys-don¡¯t-have-that-much-intelligence.¡±
From "I will never apologize for this" to "You don't have enough intelligence", the media and the public have witnessed Ye Wei's growth. In the past two years, he has been in the news again and again, from a young man to a tall, young and manly man, from a suspected shooting star to a popular one. Cultural icon.
Genius, bad boy, sunny golden boy
"Angel Dance", "Wedding Day is Coming", "Exorcist Video", "Little Miss Sunshine"
People and this young man, who is about to turn 18, ushered in the moment when the Oscar nominations were announced.
Two years ago, no one thought that Ye Wei and LMS would be the favorites for this Oscar. A year ago, not many people had such expectations.
Even three months ago, before LMS was released, there were still so many people who doubted that this movie would be a mess.
At 5:30 a.m. Western time on January 31, the Oscar nominations will be announced at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Academy President Sid Ganis and Oscar Best Supporting Actress and Academy Committee Member Mira- Sorvino will read the list together.
There is Ang Lee, there is Ye Wei, this year's Oscars are very Chinese. Mira Sorvino, a 38-year-old veteran star, graduated from the Department of East Asian Languages ??and Literatures of Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in Chinese literature and can speak fluently. of Chinese.
¡°Having her read out the potentially historic list shows the ingenuity of the college.
A moment of glory? Or lost time?
¡¡
Early in the morning, no matter in the east where it was already morning or in the west where it was still dark, many people got up early to watch TV.
For the film industry, this is one of the most important moments of the year. After countless efforts from project establishment to release, and the long impact of the awards season, can a film finally receive an Oscar nomination? Filmmakers, film producers, publicists, fans and fans are all waiting for the results.
In Brentwood, the Ye family was already bustling with people. Ye Haogen woke up his wife, children and Toto. The whole family was waiting on the sofa in front of the TV. There were only a few minutes left.
Ye Wei is also there. After going to see Duoduo learn piano yesterday, the whole family went to have dinner and watch a movie together, and then he went home to spend the night. How can a parent really drive away his child? As soon as he loses his face, the parents will relent.
At this time, he was silently pressing his phone to read text messages. The moment he should have been extremely excited and looking forward to, was actually a little confused
"Brother, why do you always wear gloves?" Duoduo next to her was trying to pull his black gloves, but she discovered it yesterday.
"For fashion." Ye Wei looked at his mother and asked if the tattoo could be shown to Duoduo?
Gu Qiao quickly called Duoduo away: "Baby, leave your brother alone." Ye Haogen suddenly shouted: "It's about to be announced!"
A pleasant Oscar background music sounded, and the NBC channel broadcast the announcement live on the TV screen. Sid Gannis in a black suit and Mira Sorvino in a red dress stood behind a transparent podium and looked at the camera with a smile. .
"Mom, you were much hotter than Sorvino when you were young." Ye Wei smiled and said to his mother, "You didn't act in the movie, otherwise you would be the one reading it now."
Gu Qiao did not soften his attitude because of his son's kind words, and without even looking at him, he said in Mandarin: "Smart words make people look beautiful, and they are very benevolent."
"Fine." Ye Wei raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. Duoduo learned to speak Chinese to Toto: "Heal people first!"
"Your mother is also hot now." Ye Haogen said hehe, continuing to be the peacemaker.
The list started to be read out on the TV, and the living room became quiet. Soon, bursts of excited cheers erupted, mainly from Ye Haogen and Duoduo. Toto ran excitedly, and Gu Qiao helplessly shook his head and laughed.
Ye Wei, with a smile on his face, lowered his head and looked at his phone, wondering where his mind was wandering.

¡¡
The biggest hit "Brokeback Mountain" has won 8 nominations and leads this year's Oscars. It can be said that there is no suspense.
The second tier is "Little Miss Sunshine", "Crash", "Good Night and Good Luck", and "Memoirs of a Geisha", all of which received 6 nominations; the third tier is "Singing with Me" and "Munich Massacre" which received 5 nominations. "; then there are "Pride and Prejudice", "The Immortal Gardener", "King Kong" with 4 nominations, and many films with 3 nominations and below.
Among them, "Little Miss Sunshine" was nominated for: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Score.
There are not many surprises in this nomination list. After a series of benchmarks and selections from major labor union awards, the Oscars are almost just a fulfillment.
However, there are still situations that make the media shout unexpected, "Crash"!
It had little success in the early stages of the awards season and was never a hit. It only had two nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay. However, today it received 6 nominations, and unlike "Memoirs of a Geisha", which are all technical awards, its nominations include Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor.
Suddenly he jumped onto the stage competing with "Brokeback Mountain" and "Little Miss Sunshine".
What's going on?
Lionsgate is awesome! Jon Fellheimer and others are ecstatic, it works! ! !
The Oscars are the Oscars. They are different from the Golden Globes and any other awards. They are relatively the fairest film awards in the United States. One of the reasons is that there are many judges. Lionsgate adopted the most straightforward strategy, frantically copying and distributing preview DVDs. 160,000 DVDs were distributed, and even the aunt sweeping the floor in the movie theater had one, which resulted in this result.
No company has ever been so crazy before, which really makes public relations colleagues dumbfounded.
"Crash", a film released in mid-May, a film distributed by a completely independent company, "suddenly" became a hit.
This year is destined to be a big year for independent films. Not counting independent brands from large groups like Focus, there are also DreamWorks¡¯ legacy LMS and Lionsgate¡¯s ¡°Crash.¡±
However, regardless of the Associated Press, AFP, United Press, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, from the east coast to the west coast, from the English network Yahoo and AOL to the Chinese network Sina and Tencent etc., they all have to report a name, Ye Wei.
It is a moment of celebration for Wei Mi, shouting this exciting name, on the English network, viy, on the Chinese network, Brother Wei!
Supporters love this so much that the Golden Globes and Guild Awards can¡¯t compare to this, and it¡¯s even worse than this, and it¡¯s even nominated for an Oscar.
The youngest Oscar nominee for Best Producer
The youngest Oscar nominee for Best Director!
At 17 years and 346 days, he broke the 24 years and 44 days of John Singleton, the black director of "Boys from the Block", 6 years ahead of schedule, reaching a point that is difficult to surpass.
The original fifth place M-Night Shyamalan retreated to sixth place, and the Asian record of 29 years and 193 days was also broken.
With this result, DreamWorks¡¯ public relations strategy also worked. In the past few months, with LMS's perfect reputation, box office hits, and successes one after another, Ye Wei's fame has reached a peak, and few people among the public have achieved it., there are very few people in the industry who would say "Who is Ye Wei?", "I don't know lms".
This is equivalent to 100,000 preview DVDs, and DreamWorks distributed a lot of preview DVDs to all the judges.
That was public relations lobbying with millions of real money, and many big names publicly expressed their support and privately canvassed for votes.
The momentum has long been that it is right to nominate Ye Wei, but it is wrong not to nominate him. It is a corrupt racial discrimination and age discrimination.
Not only the film critics, but the entire society and the whole world are watching. When it comes to a movie as perfect as "Little Miss Sunshine", what choice will the Oscars make?
21% actors, 8% producers, 8% industry executives, 7% sound effects engineers, 7% screenwriters, 6% directors, 6% art directors, 6% public relations, 6% short films Editors and animators, 5% visual effects artists, 4% product designers, 4% music scorers, 4% editors, 3% cinematographers, 2% documentary crew and 2% makeup stylists .
This 100% final majority choice of more than 5,600 judges is just a natural choice.
But everything is subject to chance. Maybe it¡¯s just a few votes away, or maybe it¡¯s not enough to deal with one of the 16 groups.
Ye Wei?
Although Ye Wei said "Death to Hollywood", Hollywood is a concept that does not target anyone. The Oscars shout "Death to Hollywood" all year round. Except in special years, high box office will actually drag down a movie's award prospects. The Academy It¡¯s not Hollywood. The Oscars are not a summer holiday, they¡¯re awards season.
Although Ye Wei had trouble with some media and was just a star, he was on good terms with many labor unions. He did not have a signed editor in the end, but he was not shortlisted for Best Editing.
Although SAG recently wanted to investigate whether Ye Weiwei had violated any rules, he has a very good relationship with the actors. The young genius is famous for respecting and helping actors.
The largest group of actors supported him, and the most important group of directors supported him. With these two most critical supports for being nominated, another miracle in the history of the film was born.
No matter how it is created, no matter what the process is, this year¡¯s Oscar nominations have settled.
Everyone knows that Ye Wei has no hope of winning the award, but the nomination is enough for all his supporters to cheer, enough for viy's reputation to reach new heights, enough for the media to contact his team one after another for interviews and photos
There was a lot of noise.
¡ù¡ù
Being shortlisted for an Oscar made history, and Ye Wei was also happy, but not that happy, not as passionate as he had been when he spoke out again and again in the past two years or so.
On the contrary, he felt a little sad. Just like Richard Dreyfus said, his dream came true, but he didn¡¯t know where the happiness went. He knew the reason clearly.
In fact, since early in the morning, Ye Wei has been inundated with congratulatory messages, text messages, emails, phone calls, and calls from Lev and others all screaming. Master Gia also changed from her coldness for many days and laughed loudly and said: "You You fucking bastard, I will never be able to catch up with you for this achievement, yes, yes, I am 19 years old.¡±
Family and friends were overjoyed, and colleagues were also excited. Herman Wright, Gary Goetzman, Hanks, and Julia Roberts called and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brat! I don't care about your private life." Anyway, we must continue to make good new movies!¡±
After Emma called, she sent another hundred text messages, "So excited!!!" After a while, "Wow!!!", and after a while, "You are incredible!"
Ten girls and countless people sent congratulatory messages. Everyone was more excited than when the Golden Globes announced the nominations, except
Ye Wei only received a text message from Nina: "Viy, congratulations, you did it, I'm happy for you!" He replied "Thank you." He originally entered a lot of words, but deleted them all. What can I say? I can no longer hear her sweet laughter. "Yunique, I am so, so, so proud of you"
There are no text messages from that girl, nothing, no jokes, no laughter, no communication, no, no, no
Whenever I have these thoughts, I laugh at myself, you are not a bastard, you are really a fool.
From early morning to evening, Ye Wei had a busy day, busy with the preliminary preparations for "Soul Surfer", busy accepting media interviews on the phone, and in the evening attended the LMS crew celebration dinner. This dinner is not to reward online staff, celebrities are not free to attend, but to reward offline, administrative and public relations staff.
After the dinner, he drove the empty sports car and wandered the streets. He went to Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and many places without knowing what he expected to encounter.
It was almost early in the morning before I returned to my residence in Santa Monica.
I went to the bathroom and walked to the bedroom to go to bed. As soon as I turned on the room light, Ye Wei was stunned. Amy Rosen was lying on the bed in pink silk pajamas, with her left hand supporting her head and looking at her, beautiful With a smile on his face, "I knew you would come back."
"Hey." Ye Wei had no choice but to send her a text message saying that she couldn't come back. Amy had the key to the house, but he didn't know why, so he gave her the key.
"Congratulations, you are nominated for the Oscar for Best Director." Amy smiled and sat up, pushing aside the thin quilt, revealing her graceful figure.
"It's not like he's the winner." Ye Wei walked to the bedside and sat down, and was immediately kissed on the face by her. He smiled and said: "Our public relations strategy has given up on Best Picture and Best Director, and focused on the script and supporting actor. I have no problem with it, Ang Lee and "Brokeback Mountain" should win the award."
Amy continued to kiss him without saying a word, caressing his shoulders and neck, her eyes burning with brilliant flames.
"Aimanniu, how old were you when you started learning piano?" Ye Wei asked, but there was no response.
"Three and a half years old." Amy leaned on his shoulder from the side.
"Oh, my sister is 5 years old. She started learning piano yesterday, but" Ye Wei felt funny when he thought about it, and laughed and said, "I don't think she can learn for a few days. She can't even sit still. She will do this now and then that way." , the piano is not suitable for her at all.¡±
"Is your sister very lively?" Amy asked, and Ye Wei smiled and said, "Yes, she is becoming more and more like me when I was a child. I also learned piano at the age of 5, but I didn't continue to learn. When I saw it, I wanted to play randomly. The piano teacher said, ' Oh my God, he's Beethoven, he's Mozart, he's Chopin! Take him away, I have nothing to teach him! '"
Amy was amused, "Do you have ADHD?"
Ye Weiyi's face turned cold for a moment, pushed her away, stood up and said, "I don't. What's wrong with ADHD? Do you think people with ADHD want to have ADHD!? Do you want to take medicine every day!? Damn every day!!!"
"I just" Amy looked confused, "I'm just asking, most people can calm down when learning piano, and piano can make people calm down. I'm sorry."
"Amy." Ye Wei took a deep breath and sighed, "It's nothing, idiot piano."
He sat back on the bed. Amy didn't ask him why he was angry, nor was she angry at being yelled at. She leaned in and kissed his face again, and said softly: "Don't be angry today, be happy! It's not because of Oscar. Today is the last day of January." One day, you must welcome February with a good mood, otherwise February will be unlucky.¡±
Ye Wei suddenly hugged her and responded to her kiss fiercely, her enthusiasm
¡¡
The night outside the window is hazy and intoxicating, and the bedroom is very quiet after the passion.
The white quilt did not cover Ye Wei's naked upper body. The tattoos on both hands and forearms had scabbed and were almost healed. Eight black Chinese characters: Sinned by God, there is nothing to pray for.
The flush on Amy¡¯s face has not faded yet. She leaned against his body, holding his two palms and looking at his fingers, looking at the scabbed English letters, and thinking about something.
"Amy Gray, how do people get stupider as they get older?" Ye Wei suddenly said aloud, letting her play with his hands, and the soft and warm feeling of the skin against each other came in bursts. He closed his eyes and said: "I am getting more and more. The more I think about it, what is your belief, your persistence, your strength, your needs
This is more complicated than you first think. People change, I am indeed changing, I am becoming worse and worse. "
"No, I think you're pretty good." Amy stared at his fingers and said, "It's just a bit expensive, but you don't like to go to nightclubs to party. Others shouldn't blame you."
Ye Wei opened his eyes and looked at her, "What do you have to say?"
Amy smiled at him, "I can see that you are going through a big change in your life. You are quite confused." Ye Wei laughed and closed his eyes again. The more he smiled, the funnier he became: "Hahaha!"
"Ordinary people will also go through life changes. What about you, viy, how much money do you have now? Twenty million? Twenty million dollars at the age of 18"
"17 years and 346 days, no, 347 days." Ye Wei interrupted with a smile.
Amy ignored his interruption and continued to speak softly: "You are 18 years old and have 20 million US dollars. You have just been nominated for an Oscar. The whole world praises you. You are working on three film projects. You have a lot of power. Countless girls want to be with you. Go to bed with good girls, bad girls, skinny girls you can sleep with one person a day without repeating it for a year. Has the person who accused you really thought about this? "
She leaned forward and kissed his silent face, "When I don't have it, anyone can tell me what I want to do. I must be a noble person, and I must have nothing to do with sin. If I really have it, even if it's just a few words of flattery , How many people are proud of themselves? Who can say that they won¡¯t be confused when they have what you have now?¡±
"Wei, although you are a big bastard, you have done a good job." Amy blinked her beautiful eyes, "I want you to become better."
"Oh? What about you?" Ye Wei looked at her, "Aren't you confused?"
"I'm already confused. I'm tired. I'm also afraid. I'm afraid that I will be ruined by fame and fortune." Amy stared at him, "So I quit. But you can't quit, and men can't quit."
Ye Wei said nothing and looked at the ceiling.
Amy sat up, exposing her beauty to the air. She took his hands and looked at them, and saw that they were connected with breasts-in-evil. She suddenly understood that if he looked at his hands face to face, to others, they would be evil-in breasts, but to him, they would be breasts-in. in-evil.
"I understand what this means." Amy let go of his hand and lay down again, leaning against him, "Your tattoo."
"What?" Ye Wei was very interested.
"uin is you and Nina Dobrev, unique+nina, right." Amy said with a smile, Ye Wei raised his left fist silently, Amy added: "vil is you and Lily Collins, vigor+ Lily, right. And re." A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, "I guess it's Real, and Regret."
Real, real, sincere, real
Regret, regret, regret, feel sorry
"Hahaha!" Ye Wei kept laughing, and chuckled when he looked at Amy, reaching out to scratch her, "Emmanu, you are very smart, but it's a pity that it's not this time. Let me explain it to you."
He held his fists and put them together in reverse, pointing his fingers at ininevil. With a face full of cynicism, he said: "re is the first and last letters of de (rude, violent). Did you see nev? This is never. ! I won¡¯t regret it.¡±
"I guessed wrong!" Amy suddenly exclaimed, "r is rossum, e is emmy, Amy Rossum, no matter what happened in the past, your first priority now is me, right?"
She laughed after saying this, and Ye Wei also laughed, "No, Amy Gray, remember, don't be so serious"
"I have a bad memory." Amy rolled over him, her long brown hair flowing down, and she leaned forward to kiss him.
