- How can we persuade Ye Wei to accept the invitation from the White House to meet with the President? Brian doesn't know.
The invitation from the White House is neither too late nor too early. A new pop culture icon like viy has his achievements and influence at the age of 18. Regardless of his ethnicity, the White House cannot ignore him. He is also an outstanding example of Asians. , of epoch-making significance.
This meeting is a win-win situation. Viy¡¯s huge popularity can bring a certain amount of public support to President George Bush, and his own value has also been affirmed and enhanced.
If it had been anyone else, other teen stars and idols wouldn¡¯t have happily agreed, but it wasn¡¯t Ye Wei!
This bad boy has already refused to attend the White House Annual Correspondents Association Dinner on the 29th of last month, but he said he regretted it, "It was so stupid, I missed a good show", naturally referring to Stephen Colbert's appearance at the banquet. The speech was supposed to be a talk show, but Stephen severely mocked the president and others for 24 minutes in front of the president, many dignitaries, celebrities from all walks of life, and global reporters.
This incident has become a hot topic recently. Although the mainstream media wanted to brush it off, this speech was posted on YouTube and received 2.7 million views in two days.
Stephen Colbert is really popular. The new talk show "The Colbert Report" launched for him on Comedy Center in October last year is now an explosion in ratings.
Ye Wei's refusal to attend also caused media mention, and many voices criticized him for being frivolous.
The White House continued to invite, and this time it was a private interview with the president. In response, the first sentence viy heard was: "Tell the president, fuck-trick."
"Weige, would you like to think about it again? Discuss it with your family?" Brian tried his best to persuade, "No matter who the president is, this is 'the president meets an 18-year-old genius'. It is an honor after all, and you will gain more. recognized by mainstream society.¡±
"Maybe you think it's an honor, but I think it's a shame, so I'm not interested." Ye Weixiao said.
"Then, be careful." Brian knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he might as well remind him: "Don't be too disrespectful to the president."
"I'll try my best."

Recently, there have been a series of incidents about President Bush being humiliated. Following Colbert¡¯s shocking speech, Ye Wei first refused the White House Correspondents¡¯ Association and then directly refused the invitation from the White House.
The White House revealed this news. White House spokesman Tony Snow regretfully expressed to the media: "The President likes Ye Wei's movies very much and has always wanted to meet and commend this outstanding young man who promotes the American dream. We have done our best. It¡¯s a pity that I couldn¡¯t get his invitation despite all my efforts. He must be really busy.¡±
Snow also said that the White House will still invite Ye Wei in the future and hopes that the president¡¯s wish can be realized as soon as possible.
The White House has kicked the ball to Ye Wei and loudly told the media and the public: It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t recognize him as a genius, it¡¯s that he doesn¡¯t see us.
There are not many people who refuse to be interviewed by the president, but there are also many. For example, the entire NBA championship team is interviewed by the president every year. Michael Jordan and Larry Bird both refused to meet the president at the time. Jordan was so Citing the excuse of being "too busy," Bird told the media: "If the president wants to see me, he knows where to find me."
Now there is Ye Wei, an 18-year-old genius bad boy.
There was an uproar in the media. The right-leaning media accused Ye Wei of disrespecting the president, and even said that he was unpatriotic and had no sense of honor.
"The left-leaning media are helping Ye Wei. People and people who want to applaud him line up in a long line, but they need him to express his attitude. Why refuse?" Don't be unpatriotic.
This time people's expectations were quickly responded to by viy's blog: "President George Bush wants to see me, but I don't want to see him. Because I don't believe a dog will not bark at him, unless it is also called Spot, yes there was one , but it¡¯s dead.¡±
The meaning of these words is obvious. Spot is the child of Bush's first dog in the White House, "Millie". He entered the White House with George W. Bush in 2001 and died in 2004.
Dogs bark at bad people, bark at intruders, and bark at people who disturb the peace. Spot means both spots and stains.
The media translated this sentence as: "Bush George was a war criminal, and the war he started was a stain on the United States. He caused countless people to lose their homes and killed many, many people. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m unpatriotic, I just don¡¯t support the war, and I hate Bush as a fool.¡±
The media on the left and right have exploded. In addition to stating that he is pro-China, Ye Wei has not shown any other political stance in the past. The outside world does not know whether he is a supporter of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. The Democrats are so happy now, viy is definitely not a Republican!
Most people in the entertainment industry support the Democratic Party, and it seems that Ye Wei does too.
Being nonpartisan is not a problem, and not being patriotic is actually nothing.?The only thing America can do to save itself is blatant racism. You won't end if you criticize the United States. Oliver Stone's movies all criticize the United States, and most of the Beat Generation criticized the United States.
Ye Wei didn¡¯t scold the United States, he just scolded the Bush administration. Colbert scolded him in person for 24 minutes.
¡°However, because he is Asian and sensitive to everything, ethnic minorities often work hard to squeeze into the mainstream. Now that the mainstream is chasing him, he has shown more and more disdain for the mainstream, exuding more and more the prodigal spirit of the Beat generation.
"The New York Times" nicknamed Ye Wei "Little Li Bai".
Not many ordinary Americans know about Li Bai, but the first three of the four great kings of Beat literature - Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso and William Burrows - all Influenced by Li Bai's poems and life stories, he regards Li Bai as one of his idols.
Of course, there is another Beat King who believes in Zen Buddhism. Gary Snyder claims that he was 80% influenced by Chinese culture and literature in the 1950s and 1960s. The Beat Party had a profound influence. Later, there was Kerouac's "Dharma Ronin", the Beat Party's complex about Eastern culture, and John Lennon's creation and life philosophy, as well as his relationship with Yoko Ono and Pang Fengyi. Love even affected Phil Collins' third marriage.
This also established the spread and status of Buddhism in the Western world. Buddhism is the most egalitarian and peaceful religion in the world, and it was exactly the spirit that American society urgently needed at that time.
¡°However, most beatniks, hippies, and rock stars¡¯ admiration for Eastern culture, China, and Buddhism is just an uninformed conjecture.
"Forrest Gump" teased this point mercilessly. In the classic segment of the conversation between Forrest Gump and John Lennon on the talk show (special effects synthesis), the host asked Forrest Gump: "What is China like? A-Gump answered truthfully: "In mainland China, people have almost nothing."
Lennon heard the question: "No property?" Forrest Gump added confusedly: "In China, they don't go to church." Lennon asked again: "And no religion?" The host said: "It's unimaginable." Lennon said thoughtfully: "As long as you are willing to try to imagine, Dick." Thus came the song "Imagine" that has been sung to this day.
"Xiao Li Bai" doesn't matter to the secretaries, they just know that this bad boy is really cool and unique.
Whether the media and the public appreciate Ye Wei¡¯s anti-war attitude depends on their own attitude. There are applause and continued criticism, which is another controversy.
The incident of viy refusing to meet the president and the Colbert incident caused a sensation. Ye Wei did not respond after that. He seemed to be really busy.

On the morning of Sunday, May 7, at the invitation of Spielberg, Ye Wei went to Riviera Country Club to play. Before the arrival of Peter Jackson and Alice Sebold, Ye Wei and Spielberg walked and talked in the beautiful country meadow.
Wearing his trademark small round glasses and smiling gently, Spielberg first reminded Ye Wei: You can express your political stance, but you can¡¯t get involved too deeply.
"I have always lacked interest in politics." Ye Wei said, "This time they dragged me to the White House, and I gave them a punch."
The two of them didn¡¯t say much about this matter.
There is a lot of political correctness in Hollywood. Don¡¯t be racist, especially don¡¯t be anti-Semitic, don¡¯t be anti-gay, etc. There is no need to be anti-government. Ye Wei does not have those tendencies. He himself is deeply troubled by racial discrimination.
"Don't let love affairs affect your movie, don't let it take too long." Spielberg knew that Ye Weigang had broken up with Amy Rossum, and he had also heard about his changes in recent months.
Old Si is experienced. The story of his youth and Amy Irving could last several days.
When the two met in 1976, Olds was 30 years old and had just become a Hollywood star in "Jaws", while Amy Irving was 30 years old and had just made her screen debut in "Carrie."
The two fell in love at first sight, started dating, and soon moved in together. She was originally happy, but Amy Owen is a career-oriented woman. She said, "I don't want to just be called Stephen's girlfriend," so she has to work hard to become a successful actress, but not act in Lao Si's movies.
"Irreconcilable differences" arose because Lao Si himself was obsessed with movies and longed for family. In 1979, three years after they fell in love, Lao Si was dumped and they broke up.
Although the two were still close friends, Lao Si, who was emotionally injured, went crazy for a long time, made frequent gaffes, slept with models in love, and fell into a low ebb in his career. In 1979, "1941", which cost 35 million, only received The North American box office is 31 million. You must know that the previous film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977), which cost 20 million, is 116 million.
People say that Lao Si is finished and the genius has fallen. Then in 1981, ""Raiders of the Lost Ark", "The Extra-Terrestrial" in 1982.
Old Si never had a new girlfriend until 1984, when Amy Owen won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in "Yentel". She felt that it was OK and she was finally not just Old Si's girlfriend. Five years after they broke up like this, as soon as the Oscar was over, the 38-year-old Laos and the 31-year-old Amy Irving reunited. Their son was born in June of the following year and they got married in November.
How to describe their passion at that time? The two's prenuptial agreement was written on a napkin, but of course it was later invalidated. It was the third most expensive divorce in history that year.
She was originally happy, but after four years of marriage in 1989, the marriage ended in divorce. Amy Irving still couldn't stand being called "Stephen's wife" and couldn't be his good wife and mother. She wanted to have a career and raise her son together. .
Lao Si went crazy again, and this time he got better quickly, because not long after the divorce, he started dating his current wife Kate Capshaw, the heroine of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and Lao Si's confidante, who is also 7 years younger than him. , with a daughter Jessica Capshaw from her ex-husband and an adopted son Theo. A family-oriented woman, she fits Lao Si¡¯s dream of a big family.
The two got married in October 1991. Since then, they have given birth to three children, adopted another one, and raised seven children.
As for Amy Irving, after the divorce, she quickly dated Brazilian director Bruno Barreto, who was two years younger. The two got married in 1996 and divorced in 2005 last year. They have a son. Now she is single. Amy Irving¡¯s career He has always remained active and is already an experienced actor.
How would you describe their initial state after divorce?
Amy Irving gave birth to son Gabriel for Barreto on May 4, 1990, and Kate Capshaw gave birth to daughter Sasha for Laos on May 14, 1990.
This is Lao Si¡¯s love story, and it can be anyone¡¯s love story.
"Stephen, it's false to say there is no impact at all, you know." Ye Wei looked at the smiling Spielberg and couldn't help but smile: "I'm a little worried about "Soul Surfer". It's not that I don't try my best, it's just that sometimes I'm like a fly that can't find its direction"
"You have to have feelings when making a movie, and that kind of thing will affect the feeling." Spielberg said.
"Yes." Ye Wei shrugged: "But I'm fine now. Now I am calm, let nature take its course, and enjoy happiness. You don't have to worry about my work."
Emotional matters are personal matters. Only you can understand and solve them. How to leave work to work.
Spielberg didn¡¯t say much. How could he criticize an 18-year-old for failing to do something he couldn¡¯t do when he was in his 30s? Soul Surfer is not a DreamWorks/Amblin project either. However, as the investor and producer of tlb, he certainly could not tolerate Ye Wei's carelessness.
"Boy, just think this way about tlb: I can try my best, but if I fail, I have to try my best." Lao Si said, "This is the only request I have for you."
"I will." Ye Wei nodded.
"One more request, you stay away from Sasha." Lao Si is not joking. Sasha has always admired and liked Ye Wei and regarded him as a hero. It will be her 16th birthday next Sunday and she has invited Ye Wei to attend her birthday party. .
Ye Wei was startled, "Can't I attend her birthday party? Please! I promised her."
"You're a bad boy, let her go." The smile on Spielberg's old face was a bit intriguing, "I can't give you this kind of opportunity."
"Hahaha!" Ye Wei laughed, "Okay, I won't go, for the sake of being a father. Don't worry, Sasha won't be sad. After all, she enjoys the same treatment as the president."
Spielberg patted Ye Wei hard on the shoulder and continued to talk about movies while walking. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
