Regarding Ye Wei's 18th birthday, the media and the public are quite disappointed. Apart from knowing that Ye Wei is staying in Hawaii, there is no definite news. His blog, YouTube channel, etc. have not been updated.
Some gossip media said that there were no birthday celebrations and Ye Wei celebrated his birthday alone at an unknown location. An insider revealed: "He said very early on that he wanted to live alone, and he did so."
Viy is once again mysterious and unpredictable. You can say that he has become flashy and luxurious. In these days when you can legitimately have fun, he is unusually low-key.
But some gossip media said that Ye Wei held a grand yacht party at sea and entered adulthood accompanied by dozens of bikini beauties. An insider said with emotion: "He is the only man on the yacht, and they all want to win his favor. It is really crazy."
It¡¯s hard to distinguish between true and false. Now people tend to believe that Ye Wei went to a party with a group of beauties.
More and more die-hard Weimi also shake their heads and sigh, viy is such a bad boy.

On Monday, February 20, the 32nd Saturn Awards announced the nomination list. Last year's phenomenal "The Exorcism Video" received two nominations: Best Horror Film and Best Actress (Nina Dobrev). This year's awards ceremony will be held on the evening of Tuesday, May 2.
This afternoon, following the verbal warning issued last Monday, SAG issued a warning letter to all its members. The letter clearly informed that "Soul Surfers" had not reached an agreement with the union and advised members not to participate in the project. performance!
Otherwise, your interests may be damaged. If you already have a contract with it, you should contact the union as soon as possible.
There is an uproar within and outside the industry about this, and this is not specific, it is just the normal treatment of non-union sanctioned projects, but a non-union "exploitation film" with a budget of 10 million is really surprising.
The problem with "Soul Surfer" is not workers' compensation insurance, but the harsh working conditions. Not only SAG, almost no union recognized the legality of its production.
Usually, non-union projects will not hire union workers for fear of causing trouble; union workers also don¡¯t want to participate in the show, and they will be cheated and said they deserve it.
There is only a little more than a week left before the planned start of filming for SS. The actors have all signed up and the starring role will be a SAG member. What should I do? Will the project be shelved as a result? Or does SS make concessions?
Amid the attention of media fans, a spokesperson for Lionsgate, the producer of Tuesday¡¯s SS, commented the next day: ¡°This negotiation result is regrettable. In fact, the working conditions of the project are very generous, with salary and benefits commensurate with the working hours, and there are no union actors. To exit, the project will start as scheduled."
After all, ss is not an ordinary project. This is really expected by the media. As long as ss can be handled internally, it will be fine.
Two days later, new news came out that Ye Wei had quit the Screen Actors Guild of America, although he would not appear in "Soul Surfer".
The news comes from Ye Wei's blog, the latest short log: "Thank you sag for your love and care. I just don't want to slow down yet, I want to work hard. I quit sag today and I am free! I can work 16 hours a day! Haha. Haha, how great!¡±
Demonstration? response? After nearly a month, viy made another arrogant statement!
But the media and the public are very skeptical, 16 hours? Ye Wei said it nicely. As for his recent playboy life, yesterday he was seen by the public having dinner with an unknown red-haired beauty. There was no gossip about the photos.
How much time and thought does viy put into her work? Can the movie be made well?
More and more die-hard Weimi are also muttering in their hearts

The Kauai Island in the morning is particularly soft. On the beach under the blue sky and white clouds, the SS crew is conducting surfing training for the actors. The Hamilton family was there, as was Bethany's childhood surfing coach Russell Lewis, who was the show's head coach.
At this time, Emma Roberts and Shailene Woodley were riding surfboards on different waves in the sea, followed by two speedboats from the production crew.
It¡¯s not like the two of them have no surfing skills. Emma often had fun in Australia last year when she was starring in "Mermaid". Although the time was tight, it was enough to practice the needs of filming. The other main actors also had to practice for any surfing scenes that they didn't know how to do.
Ye Wei used the director¡¯s viewfinder to look at the scene for a while on a speedboat. When he returned to the shore, he took the staff from the location scouting department away. Today he had to complete the location scouting work.
The Hamilton family all surfs. Bethenny¡¯s father Tom, mother Shelly, eldest brother Noah, and second brother Tim have all been or are amateur or professional surfers.
"Russell Lewis" will not appear on the big screen because his roles overlap when the story is adapted into a screenplay. The person who teaches Bethany to surf already has her family and Alana's father.Walter Blanchard was also the one who saved her in that accident.
So although Louis is an important mentor to Bethany in reality, he has no space to appear.
There are enough mentors, God, family and friends, dogs, and one person, Bethany¡¯s youth mentor Sarah Hill.
Her biggest position is that of a mentor, playing a role similar to the "grandma" in "The Lovely Bones". She is a person outside the grieving family, a spokesperson for God, who can comfort the entire story and the audience, and ease the atmosphere under the main tone. Helping characters and promoting change.
Melissa McCarthy¡¯s role as Sarah Hill is a no-brainer, it¡¯s a perfect fit!
They not only look alike, but also have similar personalities. They are both kind of fat ladies who are amiable and funny at first sight. This is the Sarah Hill that Ye Wei needs. She has collaborated with McCarthy in LMS. She guest-starred as a fat waiter in a restaurant and invited her to star in SS. It was done with just one phone call.
The appearance and temperament of the character selection should consider its role in the story, the senses it brings to the audience, and the chemical reaction of the overall cast.
Tom and Shelly are both happy-go-lucky optimists, but the casting cannot be done just like that. The movie story is a journey. The luggage they have to bring is happiness, and there is another main aspect: cheering up in sadness and pain, and regaining the soul. calm.
So they can¡¯t be too hip-hop, hip-hop comes from Sarah Hill.
The result of previous work is that Colin Firth and Helen Hunt co-starred as Tom and Shelly.
??Coby Faith, Mr. Darcy! The 45-year-old British actor is becoming more popular as he gets older and is on the verge of becoming an A-list star.
Speaking of his film and television image, most people who know him will describe him as a restrained, reserved, calm, serious and handsome British gentleman. But as long as he grins and smiles toothily, he can also do hip-hop or Hawaii. Mr. Darcy is omnipotent.
Faith has acted in many comedies in recent years, such as "BJ's Diary", "Spring Hope", and the recently released "Nanny McPhee".
However, when Ye Wei listed Faith as his first choice, it was not his smile that attracted Ye Wei, but his composure.
Because from the second act, we need this kind of Tom Hamilton: a man who is carrying a huge change in his family, who can smile brightly, and hide his sorrow alone, who can be gentle to his wife and children, and who can also show his toughness to the outside world. Even once questioning the domineering nature of Christianity, Colin Firth hit it all.
When the invitation was sent out at that time, Colin Firth happened to be available, and he had nothing to do with this awards season. The salary was agreed upon in all aspects, the story, the script, the character moved him, and viy's appeal, so there was for this cooperation.
The joining of Helen Hunt also went smoothly. This 43-year-old veteran actress is an Oscar-winning actress (70th in 1998, "As Good As It Gets"). She is the heroine of "Cast Away" and "Cast Away".
After entering the 21st century, she experienced marriage, marriage failure, new dating, and gave birth to a daughter in 2004. She is already half-dead. But this time she actively sought to join because she is a fan of Bethany and is a good friend of Colin Firth.
Her gentle temperament is really suitable for a mother, a wife, a tough woman.
Helen Hunt has been acting since she was 9 years old. Her professionalism, maturity, and indifference make her salary and remuneration easy to talk about. She has to bring her two-year-old daughter to Hawaii, and she needs to be accommodated by the crew. Try to arrange her scenes as much as possible. Shooting during the day so she could go back to take care of her daughter at night.
The crew tried their best to satisfy her, which is much simpler than the treatment Julia Roberts received at LMS.
Hunter and Faith have a great partnership effect, and so does Emma. Their sense of sunshine is gentle but not bright, a bit bookish, and they look like a family, like traditional, conservative and devout Christians.
In fact, the two of them are indeed among the ranks of good men and good women. Colin Firth and his wife Livia Jijili have been married for many years and have a happy family.
The person who plays Noah is not Chen Nuo, but the 22-year-old actor Andrew Garfield. He was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the United Kingdom. In the past few years, he first emerged in the field of stage plays and has also appeared in British dramas such as "Crazy Hormones". This is the first time I have appeared on the screen and acted in a movie.
Noah was selected by the casting team. There were three choices at the time. Ye Wei made the final decision on Andrew Garfield. First, this guy is good enough, and second, his name is Garfield, which is interesting.
Tim, like Noah, doesn¡¯t have any independent roles. He appears together as a small supporting role in the family. The actor is Xavier Dolan, who is almost 17 years old.
The friendship between Ye Wei and Dolan began at the 2004 Toronto Film Festival. They appreciated each other¡¯s talents from the day they met.?
In terms of directing, Dolan's talent and current ability are just as high as Master Gia's. Ye Wei likes to interact with him because they have many common topics and they have a good conversation. However, because Dolan lives in Quebec, it is difficult to have fun. There are many, but there have been scandals.
"This time joining SS was Dolan's wish. He also wanted to do more work for the crew for free. He wanted to learn and improve, and then make movies.
No problem, Dolan is an actor from Quebec, his appearance and temperament are suitable, and he signed up after the audition. And will serve as Ye Wei's personal life assistant during this period.
The cast of the Hamilton family has a bit of melancholy in the sunshine. It can be very dynamic or very quiet. When everyone is quiet, Emma's sunny atmosphere is more highlighted, making her the most unfortunate but optimistic and strong girl on the screen.
?Alanna¡¯s father Holt is played by John Schneider, a 45-year-old veteran of film and television. He is a hip-hop sunshine-type actor, he looks very Hawaiian and a nice person at first glance. When he blames himself for not protecting Bethany and becomes depressed and sad, it seems that it was him who was wrong. That is a great contrast.
Regarding this lineup, the outside world has received mixed reactions. The most controversial one is Colin Firth. Let alone surfing, this British gentleman and the beach seem to be insulators.
But Ye Wei felt that there was nothing to worry about. Faith would perform well after accepting the film contract, in a way that even he could not expect.
Faith is not a rookie like Emma. What is gratifying is that Emma finally has some signs of progress. As she researches the character of "Bethany" more and more deeply, she becomes more and more spiritual and becomes more and more calm and precise in her choices.

"Good evening, Wei."
"It's not night here, it's evening."
"How are you doing at work today?"
"Yes, we have completed the location scouting. In fact, Kauai is so beautiful and open, you can shoot the location anywhere."
"That's good. I spent the day at college, arranging and writing songs at night, and now I'm lying in bed, and I miss you a little."
"Haha, I don't miss you, Amy, I have to go, I have a date, bye!"
¡°Anastasia Ashley?¡±
"No! This is Hawaii. Walking around the beach, who knows who it will be. I'm looking forward to a romantic encounter today."
"As long as you are really happy."
"Of course I'm happy. I had a date with a Latin girl last night. She was very passionate, sexy, and wild in bed, which was pretty good. Today I want to try something else. Goodbye."
"Aren't you skinny?"
"She's not, she doesn't even know who I am, it's just the passion of traveling, she is Colombian."
"real?"
"I'm not that smart, but I'm not a fool. Let's go."
