"I think the most fascinating aspect of surfing is that no matter how big the waves come, you can still stand on it and show your style. This is also the way we live."
On the afternoon of Monday the 15th, in a small screening room at the Lionsgate headquarters in Santa Monica, senior executives such as Jon Fillheimer and Oldenberg were present, as well as Ye Wei and Gary Goetzman. , Suzanne Hines, invited Julia Roberts, the Hamiltons, Hofstetter and others.
Everyone is watching the 95-minute video on the screen. This is the "Soul Surfer" that audiences around the world will see in theaters in the future, unless Ye Wei, who has the final editing rights, wants to modify it himself.
However, its quality will naturally affect Lionsgate's distribution strategy. Although the movie is difficult to predict, if it is an obvious big bad movie, it will only fulfill the minimum line in the distribution contract. 2,000 companies will only be in the early 2,000s. , will never be sold to 3,000 opening theaters, and the same is true for promotional expenses.
When the movie started, everyone was very nervous except Ye Wei who looked calm. Roberts didn't smile at all. Bethany couldn't sit still. Jon even had to wipe the sweat from his forehead with a tissue. The atmosphere was as solemn as a boulder. Hanging in the sky, it will fall at any time.
This boulder is exactly the change of viy, and it is a movie with such a short production cycle. How about it?
As the film was shown, everyone¡¯s expressions softened as they looked at Hawaii, Hamilton¡¯s house, and the sea on the screen. Nothing was too bad to be a movie
Everyone gradually became engrossed in watching, but Ye Wei, who was sitting in the front and middle, had an expressionless face. He didn't know whether that was confidence or seriousness.
Soon after 95 minutes, when the main film ended and the credits were played on the screen, the atmosphere in the screening room was already greatly different!
¡°Weige, that¡¯s great, that¡¯s great, how did you do it!?¡± Jon shouted happily.
"You brat, you are really a genius!" Roberts grinned widely.
The Hamilton family is all smiling, happy, excited and full of emotions. It¡¯s not bad, it¡¯s really not bad!
Amidst the praise from everyone, Ye Wei remained expressionless, looking at the credits rolling down the screen, why didn't he get excited?
¡¡
Ye Wei didn¡¯t date anyone on Monday night. In the evening, he took Moody to Richard Matheson¡¯s house for a dinner. This was the first time he met Matheson and got under Mody¡¯s spotlight.
Moody¡¯s shyness has not changed and she has not seen any social progress, but her efforts are obvious to all. She performed the best in the acting school and did more of the homework assigned by him. As long as such a person gets a chance, there is no reason why she cannot succeed. If Kate Mara had half the attitude of Moody, she would be a big star long ago.
The Mathesons finally met Maudie, and they called him a miracle and asked him if he was interested in remaking "Seventy Years Back in Time"?
Ye Wei said he was interested, but he had to finish the project at hand first. There's really no need to rush this matter. Maudie only celebrates her 17th birthday in July. It doesn't matter if she plays "Modie Adams" in another ten years. She has to become famous first before acting, rather than becoming famous by imitating Adams. This is what he and her common aspirations.
¡°I don¡¯t know if Matheson lived that long. He is 80 years old. He might be buried one day.
Even so, there will always be opportunities for him and Matheson to collaborate, because there are a lot of excellent short stories by Matheson. Spielberg's "Flying Wheel" (1971) when he was 25 years old was adapted from Matheson's short story. . Warner Bros. is working on another remake of "I Am Legend," and this time it's going to be a big special effects project.
In addition to talking about movies, the two also talked about writing, or Ye Wei asked Matheson for advice, which really gained a lot.
"Your short stories are very good, will you continue to write them?" Matheson also asked.
"Yes." Matheson spoke, and Ye Wei had to write.

Zombie fans are waiting for it! After more than ten days, "the-volleyball-girl" appeared on viy's blog. It seems that the short story has become a long one!
This story of "Volleyball Girl" follows the previous one. It is equally gripping and full of suspense, triggering heated discussions among more netizens. The new "volleyball girl" seems to have given the media a stimulant, smelling the smell of scandal:
Elizabeth Olsen appears under her real name!
The story continues from the perspective of Jay and Taryn. At the beginning, the two have left the woods and walked in an unknown abandoned town nearby. Through the two people's search for supplies in the town, the article shows the desolate, dilapidated, and dangerous appearance of the town three years after the disaster.
In the living room of a private house, two people were attacked by three zombies from a family that was originally locked in the house. The zombie setting of this article was written in further detail, basically following the tradition: being bitten will infect the virus.?To kill a zombie, you need to destroy its brain, otherwise the separation of the body and head will not be complete, and the head with the eyes taken out will still bite people.
Zombies will continue to survive without losing food and their strength will not decrease. It is not feasible to expect zombies to starve to death. It is not yet clear whether they will evolve and reproduce.
Jay and Taryn nearly killed three zombies, but the danger had just begun. Someone heard the news and came, a burly middle-aged white man with a pistol. When he pointed his pistol at the two of them, they did not resist. opportunity.
After the big man took away their weapons, he asked Tarin to tie Jay's hands and feet with the rope he gave him and threw them aside. Then he asked Tarin to blow-job him.
Jay, who was lying on the floor, struggled hard, but was kicked violently by the big man. Taryn knelt down and begged him to let them go, willing to do anything for his blow-job. This made the big man laugh wildly and let down his guard a little. Unexpectedly, Tarin, who had always seemed weak and vulnerable, suddenly started fighting with the big man.
But she was easily knocked down by the big man in the end, who said he would torture them well. At this time, Tarin screamed desperately, trying to attract the surrounding zombies, and everyone died together. The man "beat her face until her face was swollen and lost a few teeth" and stuffed her mouth with his underwear.
"Volleyball Girl" appeared, an older girl with blond hair and gray eyes. She was holding an ordinary long-handled iron axe. The naked man screamed and used his pistol to tell the girl not to move, but the girl rushed in, swung an ax and started to chop.
The big man threw away his pistol and fought back with a long knife. Only then did Jay and Taryn realize that the pistol was either a fake or had no bullets.
The girl was crazy, unafraid, not strong but had superb fighting skills. In the end, the big man had his hands cut off, his stomach was ripped open with an ax, and he fell half dead in a pool of blood. The girl went up and chopped off the big man's feet, picked up the pistol, and then looked at the two men. She said, "I don't know who is right and who is wrong. Those who don't wear pants are never good people."
After listening to the situation described by the two people, the girl said to the big man, "What does she know about blow-job? You have never tried volleyball, so I will let you play today."
In the confusion of the two, the girl chopped off the head of a middle-aged male zombie who broke in after hearing the noise, and asked the two untied men to stuff his mouth with the man's underwear, and then pulled one of his feet apart. She stuffed the "volleyball" into the big man's crotch, and the big man died slowly amidst the screams that could not be heard far away.
The three of them left the house and were about to leave. On the front lawn, the noise had attracted hordes of zombies from all directions, their heads even without eyeballs. Seeing this, the girl became solemn, and Tarin exclaimed, "Ye Wei must have dug out their eyes." He actually closed his eyes without killing the zombies.
At the end of the article he wrote:
""Have you seen him?" the girl asked warily, clenching the ax in her hand.
Jay and Tarin noticed her hostility, and Tarin quickly said: "Yes, in the woods in the morning, he gave us somefood." Jay said: "This is the first time we have met. He and we have no contact.¡±
"That's the best. Never trust him, he's not a good person." The girl sneered, "Get out of here quickly before he comes back to you. I have to go too." She walked towards the backyard of the house, where The roar of the mourning group was even smaller.
"We are going to Nevada." Jay said and followed, and Taryn followed closely behind: "There are not many people there, it should be safer."
"But there are people who think the same as you." The girl's voice was full of ridicule, "It has become a hell long ago. I just escaped."
The eyes of Jay and Taryn both dimmed, as if some non-existent hope had left them.
Suddenly, all three of them saw a black-haired man holding a machete standing at the back door of the yard leading to the back alley. He looked at them, looked at the girl, and said: "Elizabeth Olsen, I found you."
Elizabeth¡¯s expression immediately changed, she grasped the ax tightly with her right hand, and said in a cold voice: ¡°If I don¡¯t go back, don¡¯t even think about it¡¡±
"Look at you." The man smiled and walked slowly over. He didn't seem to notice Jay and Taryn who raised their hands and backed away. "You're fat. It seems you've been doing well recently. The 'chef' also said he was worried about your food. No, everyone told me not to argue with you. But, sweetheart, I¡¯m really pissed off and everyone¡¯s not going to be okay this time.¡±
Elizabeth stared at him and reached for the pistol at her waist with her left hand. ¡¿
Is there any more? ? Zombie fans and readers want more!
?The pistol barrel doesn¡¯t work? If there were no bullets, could Ye Wei be frightened? Will Olson take care of Ye Wei? Or did Ye Wei take her back? Where to go back? What happened to them? What's the relationship? What happened to Nevada? Who is the "chef"? Who are we? Ye Wei said something would happen to someoneWho will it be? Jay or Taryn?
"Volleyball Girls" is very exciting. It still has thrillers and black humor. The story is full of suspense. The good-guy cruelty of the girl and the death of the big man are both impressive.
viy didn¡¯t say when the third part will be updated, but there are others! Fans of movies and books are really pleasantly surprised. Also updated this time is a sci-fi thriller short story called "Supernova-Poses Private On". The writing is also amazing and makes people smell the smell of scandal:
The story of "Supernova Enchantment" tells the story of Badan-Wang, a first-year astronomy student at the California Institute of Technology, who discovered a supernova during stargazing and was recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Not a big achievement, professionals and amateurs discover hundreds of supernovae every year, 367 in 2005. This new super star is numbered sn2006er according to the rules, and Wang Badan himself named sn2006er "poseidon" because its star map looks like a tsunami.
Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of terror. From then on, Wang Badan's mind continued to have hallucinations, from fragments to complete ones. He watched an extraterrestrial civilization similar to human civilization on Earth exist in the Poseidon galaxy from its beginning to its destruction. The whole process.
All kinds of hallucinations and hallucinations that are difficult to distinguish between true and false almost drive him crazy and make him unable to live a normal life. The originally positive, optimistic, and energetic newcomer became eccentric and lost confidence in human civilization. He deeply felt the insignificance, stupidity, and despicability of human beings, and he was well aware of the current situation and future of destruction on the earth.
The really terrible thing happened. After Wang Badan gave an exciting and thought-provoking speech at the university, all the teachers and students in attendance went home with mild symptoms of supernova obsession, and no one took it seriously. , thought it was just imagination.
When they talk about topics with others, others will be infected, including tempting tube videos posted on the Internet, etc., and soon developed into songs, movies, etc. Unknowingly and quickly, this ideological virus spreads like a plague. worldwide.
Finally one day, when scientists noticed that a new type of mental illness was sweeping the world, and it was different from mass hysteria, "the mass like a white dwarf accumulated to a point and exploded." All human beings on the entire earth blossomed, and their brains were like new ones. Exploding like a super star explosion, they are alienating and they are perishing.
At the end of the article, Wang Badan saw people on the street suddenly twitching and their eyes losing their brightness. Before he could panic, his brain also exploded.
At the same time, he had a new vision. A beautiful brown-haired young woman told him that she was the goddess of the Poseidon galaxy, which he called the Poseidon galaxy. She wandered in the universe in the form of idea-light. From what he observed, "waves" Seedon" was attached to his mind.
"You can call me Sylvia." She said.
Wang Badan couldn't tell whether this was an illusion or reality. Everything in front of him became blurry. He saw passers-by falling to the ground one by one and pet dogs whimpering and barking.
"Look, I succeeded again." Sylvia said with a smile. Her eyes were as bright as more than 100 billion suns. "There is nothing more dangerous, more hidden, more communicable, and more powerful than an idea." Destroy a man and a civilization.¡±
"Why are you doing this?" Wang Badan asked in shock.
"Because I like disasters." Sylvia said.
¡°It¡¯s time for us to leave.¡± She added, ¡°The next civilization is waiting for us.¡±
Wang Badan felt that he had become a beam of light, leaving the earth and flying towards the universe. First, the earth and then the solar system were getting further and further away, and finally disappeared.
The strange thing is that he heard a sweet song ringing in the supposedly dead universe. She was singing, Doris Day's "Journey of Feelings". ¡¿
¡¡
"This bastard."
In the garden of a mansion in Manhattan, New York, Amy watched "Supernova" on her laptop screen and kept laughing.
She knew what badan-wang meant. He said that if he wanted to use a pseudonym again, he would use this one. Of course, she also knew that Sylvia meant her, sn2006er, po-idon, and the French classic erotic movie "Emmanuelle" Actress Sylvia Christie.
She thought of that night last month, when she and he were watching "Emmanuel" in the video room of the house, while they couldn't help but kiss and caress, and then
Looking at the movie review "The Huge Treasure of "Poseidon"" again, Amy suddenly sighed. Although she said on the phone that she would continue to be friends,
Wei, what are you thinking about? What are you doing
"Miss me?" Express yourself in this way? Comfort me? To make me happy? Or are you teasing me? For fun?
A lot of people have been comforting her recently because she was dumped and because Poseidon's opening weekend was a disaster at the box office.?Waterloo. For the latter, there is a lot of disappointment and sadness. The filming period was so difficult for everyone, but whether it is good or bad, it is a life experience.
He is making me happy. The more Amy thought about it, the more she felt that it was nothing to him. The friendship between him and her had nothing to do with other people. She likes it, it's great if she has anything to say, and she hopes he won't run away from any emotion. It's just, viy, I'm not that fast.
"Cheesesteak sandwich, here I come!" He also updated this news. He left for Philadelphia yesterday to work on the preparation of "The Lovely Bones". It's only a two- or three-hour drive from New York to Philadelphia Will he come to New York when he has time?
Thinking of something, Amy shook her head. He will definitely come, but not for her, maybe for a model or a new love.
There is someone the outside world doesn¡¯t know yet, Rooney Mara.
She knew because she and Rooney were good friends, they had known each other many years ago, and they had a lot of fun in charity such as animal protection. That day Rooney called suddenly and said, "Amy, Ye Wei and I are dating. I don't want you to know about it from elsewhere."
She was silent for a long time, unable to say anything, "If you play with him, you will only play with yourself, and he will not have a serious relationship with you"
"He told me, I am one of them. I just feel" Rooney whispered, "I like him very much."
"You're passionate, right?" Amy laughed, "Listen to him and don't take it seriously."
