The "Lovely Bones" roundtable began as everyone arrived. At a leisure wooden table on a tree-lined lawn in the country club, Spielberg, Peter Jackson and his wife, and Alice Sebold and his wife were all reading. Script, this is the first time they have read the final draft.
Although the Jacksons are no longer part of the project, there is no need to worry. The script will not be taken away from them, and the original work is still there, so they are not afraid of it being leaked. The story is not mysterious, it just depends on how well the movie tells it.
In the quiet atmosphere, Ye Wei slowly brewed tea, bringing the tea set and tea leaves with him. From time to time, he clicked on his cell phone to chat with Lindsay Ellingson through text messages.
A cup of hot tea was handed to her. Alice Sebold, who was so engrossed in watching it, didn¡¯t notice that she was looking a little excited
Peter Jackson¡¯s chubby face was slightly surprised. He and his wife Fran Welsh looked at each other a few times, and they both became more and more surprised.
Adapted from the original work, the script coincides with them in some places. For example, the first scene at the beginning uses the opening scene of tlb:
"There is a snow globe on Dad's desk, and inside it is a penguin wearing a red and white striped scarf. When I was a child, my father held me and sat on his lap. He picked up the glass ball, turned it over, let the snowflakes fall on the top of the glass ball, and then quickly turned the ball back. We watched the snowflakes fall gently next to the penguins. I think the penguin is alone in the glass ball, and I feel really sad for him. I told my father this idea, and he said: "Susie, don't worry, it is living well, and it is a perfect world that surrounds it."
? Adapted to:
¡¾1, Interior view, Salmon's study, day
A little girl of four or five years old, Susie Salmon, was playing with toys all over the floor. Her father, Jack Salmon, was sitting at the desk next to him and was busy making a ship in a bottle. There was a boat on the table with a red dog inside. Snow globe with penguin in white striped scarf.
Susie (narrator): When I was a child, I had many toys, and I will never forget that snow globe.
Little Susie looked at the crystal ball on the table, put down her toys and walked away. Jack Shamon put down his work, picked up his daughter in his arms, picked up the crystal ball and flipped it to let the snowflakes fall. Little Susie smiled at first, but soon became sad and shed tears.
Susie: It¡¯s so lonely.
Jack: Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s living well inside, and it¡¯s a perfect world that surrounds it.
Susie (narrator): At that time, I really believed it. ¡¿
There are many that coincide with each other, but the way of expression and perception are different. The focus, materials, timeline, etc. of the story are very different from their ideas. The more I read, the more different they become
What else was he reading? Jackson couldn¡¯t help but look at Ye Wei sitting next to him. This guy really has some ideas
Ye Wei grinned at the fat man who looked at him, raised his glass and took a sip of the sweet tea. The fat man went back to reading the script.
It is said that adapting TLB is difficult to go to the moon, but as long as you arrange all its stories in order chronologically, then select and adapt them, and tell the story you want to tell, it is not difficult to start.
¡°It¡¯s just that there are too many traps in adapting this book. It¡¯s too rich and has too many temptations. Paradise is the biggest temptation and the biggest trap, which can destroy the emotional unity of the story. There is also the strong Buddhist thought, damn Mr. Harvey, he doesn¡¯t want this, he wants to tell a movie story.
"I want to direct this script." Spielberg suddenly said, his small round glasses shining with strange light.
"You can't, Steven." Ye Wei drank tea and said seriously: "I don't want to fight with you. You are both married, so don't compete with me for girls."
Everyone chuckled, and Alice Sebold also smiled. The situation seemed not as bad as they thought. The more they looked at it, the more they looked forward to it being visualized

On the evening of May 7th, viy's blog updated a blog called "That fish, we all wish you happiness in heaven". There is not much text content, but there is a set of photos taken today, Ye Wei, Spielberg , Peter Jackson and others had a discussion on the tree-lined lawn.
In the photo, Ye Wei and Peter Jackson are sitting next to each other, both smiling, and they look like a pair of good old friends.
In another photo of only the two of them, they stared at each other. Viy jokingly wrote: "I invited him to play 'Mr. Harvey' and he invited me to play 'Bard the Marksman' in 'The Hobbit'" , will it come true?¡±
Is this the end of the war of words? The media was disappointed and expected the two to have a serious quarrel, which turned out to be a show of affection.
But after reading the book, TLB fans screamed with excitement. Three directors, a master, a Lord of the Rings, and a genius are all contributing to TLB. It can no longer be described as luxurious! It's almost predictable that this is a touching Oscar-winning filmA good movie on a card level.
Fans are also excited, and they still have viy versus pj in their hearts, so they don¡¯t know when Jackson¡¯s new movie will be released.
Ye Wei also posted a photo of himself and Spielberg, and wrote: "I really wish I could see "Raiders of the Lost Ark" tomorrow instead of just hearing about it here and there."
While reporting on Ye Wei, the media also paid attention to Lao Si's movements. This time the cooperation between the two was both a publicity point and a matter of interest to the outside world.
After last year's "War of the Worlds" and the collapse of DreamWorks, Laos has yet to implement a new directorial plan. "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" is one of the planned projects. However, he has participated in many production projects, such as producing "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letter from Iwo Jima" and supervising "The Lovely Bones" and "Transformers".
Speaking of Lao Si¡¯s collaborators and friends, George Lucas, Jane de Bont and others, Michael Bay is becoming a new collaborator; speaking of Lao Si¡¯s apprentices, who is almost 60 years old, he has already become a master in recent years. Action, like 36-year-old Blake Eisner, the son of Michael Eisner.
Although Katzenberg and Eisner were at loggerheads, it did not harm his family. Katzenberg once admired Brick. In 2002, he produced the DreamWorks TV miniseries "Hijacked" and was directed by Brick. collection, starting his career as a director.
With a strong background, Brick filmed a DVD movie "Superman" after "Taken", and then directed the independent project "Sahara Troopers" with a budget of 130 million, which was released by Paramount in April last year. , the result was 39% freshness and 54% love, with a North American box office of 0.68 billion/a global box office of 11.9 billion, a huge loss.
No one dares to invest in this rich second-generation idiot anymore, including Eisner himself, who is also disappointed.
Olds also admires J.J. Abrams, the creator of the TV series "Double Agent" and "Lost". Because of his strong recommendation, Paramount handed over "Mission: Impossible 3" to the 40-year-old director last year. Year old new celebrity. But Abrams is not Lao Si's prot¨¦g¨¦ yet, Gil Crane is.
Gil Crane, a 30-year-old Indian-born director, holds a master's degree in animation from UCLA. A few years ago, his 10-minute graduation short film showed his strength and won the favor of Lao Si and Robert Zemeckis. He made his debut by directing 7500, which was supervised by the two masters. Amblin Entertainment participated in the investment of the animation "Monster House" with a budget of 10,000.
Everyone in the industry is speculating whether he will be another Shyamalan or another little Eisner. This will not be known until the film is released in July.
Of course, the media are now talking about who is the most proud disciple of Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, and the young person who they value the most and has the most cooperation prospects, Ye Wei. This 18-year-old genius seized a small opportunity and has already left Crane and others far behind.
Although viy¡¯s industry status is not as good as Shyamalan¡¯s yet, his public influence is not comparable to Shyamalan¡¯s.
But he is also the most troublesome person. This is a prodigal son. He doesn¡¯t need a microphone in "Fantasy Elf Chronicles". He makes three movies a year, but he is not married like Crane
It¡¯s the gossip media who are excited! Just over a week has passed in May, and Ye Wei has just announced that she will be single again for just over a week, and there are a lot of scandals.
Amber Heard and Doutzen-Kloss are old news. Some people claimed to have seen them and Ye Wei out on the street, but there are no photos to prove it. It¡¯s not the newly exposed dating photos from TMZ. Viy is indeed very busy. He has a new love, two.
One is a rising model who is three years older than him, Lindsay Ellingson. The paparazzi of TMZ photographed the two of them dining out in front of the sweet courtyard of a small restaurant in Santa Monica. Ye Wei calmly raised her right hand to the paparazzi. Middle finger, Ellingson was a little unhappy. An insider contacted by tmz said: "They are just ordinary friends, just going out for a meal."
Ye Wei has so many ordinary friends. A few days later, the paparazzi photographed him out with another girl, Alexandra Daddario, who is two years older than him.
TMZ released Daddario's information. She is a girl from a well-known family in New York. Her grandfather is the famous Democratic politician Emilio Q. Daddario, who served in the 86th-91st Congress. MP. The daughter of prosecutors and attorneys, she grew up on Manhattan's Upper East Side and is a graduate of the Brierley School and the New York School for Professional Children.
Alexandra began her career as an actress when she was 16 years old. She appeared in the long-lived daytime soap opera "All My Children" which was launched in 1970 and played 43 episodes in two seasons. She also appeared in one episode of "Law and Order"; on the screen, she There was a minor actor in "The Squid and the Whale", a young actor with a family background but no fame.
However, she has beautiful appearance, sexy figure, 173cm height and plump breasts.
? tmz¡¯s exclaimed comment: ¡°Viy refused to meet the president because he was busy dating a hot Democratic girl! Another Scarlett Johansson?¡±
Ye Wei¡¯s current aesthetics??What, no one can say for sure. Apart from being hot, Ellingson and Daddario are almost completely different types. One is as thin as a bamboo, and the other is as plump as a panda. Maybe it can only be said that he is obsessed with it. model and girl from Manhattan, New York.
Gossip lovers and movie fans are really convinced, "Well done, viy"? This is not just great, it's simply breathtaking.
¡¡
What does Ye Wei like most about Alexandra? Her g-tits, of course, were so big that they stood out even against her plump body.
The scenes above the actor's chest are shot from a close-up shot, so there is a less elegant studio term for close-up shots called "two-tits", which can also be called "twin-buttes" or "twin-peaks", both of which mean the same thing. A mountain peak.
Alexandra's double mountain shot must be very abrupt. She is not suitable for this scene, otherwise the audience's eyes will all be focused on the bottom of the frame. As for what her face is doing, what is the look of her gray-blue cat eyes? , probably no one will notice.
He felt that "twin" was not quite true. Her right breast was a little bigger than her left breast, and her left breast was a little lower than her right breast. He couldn't tell when he was wearing clothes, but after careful inspection without clothes, he could tell by sight and feel that they were not the same size. He was relieved that the twins didn't look exactly the same.
After the passion, lying on the bed of his suite at the Casa de Mar Hotel in Santa Monica, he was like a chef making noodles, and she was the dough in his hands.
Alexandra was a little dissatisfied with his obsession with her breasts: "Why are you so vulgar?"
"Forgive me, it's my first time climbing Mount Everest." Ye Wei couldn't stop, looking at these two pieces of suet white jade that could change into any shape, and sighed: "I understand, why Rose Meyer said 'If Not a big-breasted woman, I'd rather play cards' because it's so much fun, I can feel myself being possessed, it's so much fun."
"You're so rude" Alexandra's face turned red, her body trembled uncontrollably, and electric currents passed through her.
"Oh my God, this is great." Ye Wei clicked his tongue, "I remembered the opening scene of "A Clockwork Orange", and I understand better. This stuff is really addictive"
Alexandra couldn¡¯t help but hold his head tightly, screaming.

James Shams recently arranged a meeting. Let¡¯s start from the beginning. There are many traditional families in New York. Kate Mara¡¯s family is one of them. Her great-grandfather Tim Mara bought the NFL¡¯s New York Giants ( It cost 500 US dollars in 1925, and is now worth more than 500 million, rising steadily year by year. The Mara family owns 50% of the shares and other family industries and funds), and his maternal grandfather is Art Rooney, the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Although her father, one of 11 children, is now an NFL scout and the Giants' vice president of player evaluation, she has 40 cousins, an older brother, a younger brother and a younger sister. Her property is not much, but being born into such a wealthy family, she has no worries about food, clothing and future.
Like many rich women, Kate Mara wants to be a movie star. However, movies do not come with money. Moreover, if you do too much, you will be called a playboy, nepotism, etc. by the media, so that the film critics The audience is disgusted and picky, so there are too many rich second-generation movies that have failed.
Not only will you lose money, but you will also ruin your future. Once you are labeled as relying on the family, it will be difficult to take it off again.
With Kate Mara¡¯s rich background and the money she waves in her hands, it is not difficult to become a star.
It's just that she has an average appearance, an average figure of 157cm, and no acting skills. She has been in the film industry since she was 16 years old. Until now, she can only win one failed heroine and a few small roles, and she still relies on personal connections, including in "Brokeback Mountain" "The 19-year-old daughter who plays "Ennis" in "Ennis" has a small but important role.
She was impatient. Youth would soon pass. The family registered a production company "npp production" and invested 3.5 million to make the horror film "Urban Legend-Bloody Mary". She played the heroine, and her sister Rooney- There's also a cameo as Marla, another wealthy woman who wants to be a movie star.
"Bloody Mary" was not of high enough quality to be released after it was filmed. When it was released, it was just embarrassing and losing money, so it was directly made into a DVD and distributed overseas.
But Kate's family advantage is still there. It was effortless to get a starring role in the football-themed "We Are Marshall" (65 million budget, led by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures), as well as "The Perfect One" and "Sniper" The role of other films.
Will this make her famous? Kate Mara is not sure, but it would be more likely if Ye Wei created a movie specifically for her.
She did not participate in the viy talent show, so she is too old, but she has connections. James Shams acted as the middleman, and Ye Wei listened.He refused to "tell her to go play rugby" because he said "just do me a favor." Ye Weicai was willing to attend. He has more appeal than the president.
Shams has already told Kate that "he can't promise you" and she wants to give it a try. She is confident.
That night, in a luxury box at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Shams, Kate Mara, and Rooney Mara met Ye Wei.
Rooney Mara is 21 years old. Compared with her sister, she is more delicate and elegant, and she is also taller, 160cm. At this time, she was looking at Ye Wei sitting across the dining table with a smile. She had really looked up to him for a long time. He was minding his own business eating the Chinese delicacies on the table. He seemed to be listening, but he seemed not to be listening.
Kate talked about her plan, and Shamus helped. One way is that the Mara family invests in him in a hidden way, and the other is better. They take the lead in cooperating with major studios on commercial blockbuster projects and will do their best for him. Fighting for final cutting rights and other rights, of course she has to be the heroine. Oh, and try to get a role for her in both Bones movies.
"How was it?" Kate Mara asked, with an expectant smile on her face.
"Not interested at all." Ye Wei replied immediately, picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and ate it.
Kate's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Shamus, but Shamus shook his head slightly. She could only say: "viy, I just need a chance."
"What you don't lack most is opportunities." Ye Wei chewed the dumplings and shrugged: "You just need acting skills to improve your acting skills, otherwise there is no way for you to become a movie star. Because whether you can The formation is decided by the audience, no one cares whether you are a rich lady or a bartender. Also, football is football.¡±
"" Kate took a deep breath, her face turned red with anger, and her voice was cold: "Is there no need to continue talking?"
"Yes, thank you James, I didn't want to talk about it in the first place." Ye Wei looked at Rooney Mara and suddenly said: "Hey, little one, are you bitter or sweet?"
Shams smiled bitterly, Kate Mara was stunned, Rooney Mara was also stunned, there seemed to be water ripples in her gray-green eyes.
¡¡
Night fell over Los Angeles, and the sound of fierce kissing rang out in the luxurious suite of the Beverly Hills Hotel. Rooney Mara was pushed hard against the wall by Ye Wei, and he covered her from top to bottom with a crazy kiss. A long, deep kiss, deep and full of irresistible power.
She didn¡¯t resist, she was breathless by his kiss, her whole body was shaking by his hug, and she was captured by him.
Her clothes were quickly taken off, and he pushed her down on the big bed with white sheets. She didn't know that she would make such a sound before, like gasping, begging for mercy, and demanding. It was full of passion. He knew that she wanted to , her body and soul were screaming, he seemed to feel pity for her and gave her alms.
Sometimes he was tough, sometimes gentle, like playing a game, he touched her cheeks and body, he kissed her eyes, nose, lips, neck, shoulders, mountain peaks, kissing all over her body, he was Admiring her, tasting her, possessing her.
He is not feeling proud, he is enjoying it.
She is in a state of confusion. She is driven to nowhere by this passion. Just go crazy for once She hasn¡¯t been crazy for a long time. Just go crazy for once! ! !
Her slender legs were carried up, and her long, straight black-brown hair was spread out on the bed. Her whole body seemed to be in a riptide, being violently hit by waves.
The sound in the suite lasted for an unknown amount of time, and then gradually stopped with another burst of female cries like a landslide, and the Passion train stopped briefly.
Rooney and Ye Wei were both panting and relaxing. She lay in his arms, looked at him with a flushed face, and gasped softly: "This is really crazy. If my sister knows, she will definitely do it." Blame me for the rest of my life.¡±
"Who cares?" Ye Weiyang smiled, and while caressing her smooth and tight body, moving back and forth, enjoying the pleasure of exploring her body, he said: "Your sister will never be able to do it, her appearance is not good. , has no temperament, and no talent. If she is a hard-working person and loves to perform, she will not be so arrogant after so many years of acting skills. She just wants to be a star, but she will never achieve anything. "
"You are quite arrogant too." Rooney's emerald eyes were shining brightly, and her heart was aroused by his fingers, his magical fingers.
"Yes. You are different." Ye Wei looked at her, as if he was sizing her up a few times, "I don't know about other aspects of you, but you look like this, you are very temperamental, and you have a lot of room for change. You can Become a movie star."
Rooney smiled and said: "Then will you build me?"
"It depends on your interest." Ye Wei said, "I'm not interested at the moment. If there is a suitable opportunity and you are strong enough, I will?Refuse to cooperate with you. Now my interest is, what else can you do in bed? "He exerted force on his hands.
"Oh" Rooney's eyes gradually became hazy, and the whirlpool of passion began to spin again.
The night is getting more and more intoxicating.

"Poseidon" held a grand premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday, May 10th, with all the starring stars in attendance. There is no reason for this movie to fail. It has Wolfgang Petersen, a great director who is good at filming maritime problems, a strong cast, a production cost of 160 million, and overwhelming publicity.
But movies are movies. There are cases like this every year, last year there was "Escape" and this year Warner Bros. Pictures is heartbroken.
"Its reviews are terrible, with only 33% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, 43% audience love, and 5.6 points on imdb. Almost all film critics and audiences are scolding it.
Roger Ebert commented in the "Chicago Sun" with a score of 2/4: "Peterson's heart is not here. He is too smart a director and thinks those are the best materials. He is still too smart. Good director, turn this material into enjoyable trash."
Karina Caucano of the Los Angeles Times gave it a 2/5: "It's the perfect 'Off the Bottom' crushing its unsavory characters into thin wafers. I mean it's two Claudia Pugh of USA Today gave it a lower 1.5/5: "Poseidon is a bad saga that almost drowns in a cliche-filled script. In the monotonous waters.¡±
It¡¯s not the fault of the actors or the distribution, it¡¯s just that the filming was terrible. The old fool Wolfgang Petersen must bear all the responsibility. He messed up the impossible task and messed it up again and again.
"Poseidon" capsized and sank amidst the criticism. During its premiere week from May 12 to 18, the average per theater in 3,555 North American theaters was only 7,757, and it collected 27,577,547 box office, ranking second in the week. The winner was "Mission: Impossible 3" the following week with 32,094,838.
The media and public could not see Ye Wei attending the premiere of "Poseidon". Amy Rossum attended alone. Her pure and elegant smile seemed to be in a good mood, and she was not affected much by the breakup.
But people have seen the film review Ye Wei wrote for "Poseidon". In the two years since "Napoleon", viy has written hundreds of film reviews, some posted on blogs and some published in columns. Now his film reviews It has been included in rating websites such as Rotten Tomatoes and is the youngest well-known film critic.
viy¡¯s film review style is unique, ranging from professional, lyrical, and casual, all kinds of strange.
The only thing that is the same is that movie fans and readers will be shocked every time they read his movie reviews.
This time, his film review was posted on his blog and column at the same time. It was very long, with 1,003 words, but only five words were used:
