- In early July, Ye Wei, who had just returned to Los Angeles after filming "The Lovely Bones", was photographed by the ubiquitous Los Angeles paparazzi driving an old Volkswagen Polo out on the street. It was his first car. car.
Driving it once is nothing, but driving it every time will cause problems; and within a few days, tmz paparazzi dug up an amazing news: Ye Wei sold all his famous cars!
A gossip speculation naturally arises: viy is on the verge of bankruptcy?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. TET and LMS have huge profits. Forbes estimated Ye Wei's wealth at 30 million U.S. dollars. The producer structure announced by SS and TLB also shows that it is not entirely invested by him, and he has not spread rumors. Talk about buying a multi-million dollar mansion or crazy gambling.
Ye Wei recently donated millions to the child protection organization "Children's Protection Foundation" and the stray pet rescue organization "Best Friends Animal Association". No matter how poor he is, he will not need to sell a few cars with the original price of only hundreds of thousands. car.
This matter is full of weirdness. Usually the gossip in this area is which celebrity bought which luxury house and which luxury car. I have never seen such a thing as selling a luxury car and driving back an old car. I am still a young and frivolous 18-year-old. Bad boy.
So the media public is really curious about what happened! ?
Regarding the bankruptcy rumors, Ye Wei's spokesperson Leslie Dart told Entertainment Weekly: "He has no financial problems, and his financial situation is very healthy. But we all know that there are things that Weiy is doing that only he himself Know."
The media can only define this as Ye Wei's way of expressing his affection. Although whether he is willing to accept his favor or not has little to do with driving a luxury car, a car worth hundreds of thousands is not considered a luxury for any celebrity. Besides, with the money he earns, he has the right to enjoy material things. People don¡¯t understand why he keeps driving back and forth.
From the beginning of July to the end of July, every time Ye Wei was photographed driving, he always drove a Volkswagen Polo, and sometimes he looked particularly downcast.
This car is obviously not that easy to drive. In the middle of the month, paparazzi filmed him driving when his car suddenly broke down. When he got out of the car to check, the paparazzi walked up to him on video and asked him if he wanted help. He also asked him: "Viy, why do you just drive?" This car?"
"It's none of your business, do you care about your mother that much?" That's what Ye Wei said.
News about viy is endless, but the way to win the prodigal son this month is very different.
I have to say that there is another "Hisclam Incident" that has attracted more attention from the media and the public.
On the night of July 3, "Hiskellam" suddenly deleted all his luring tube videos and closed the ia-songs channel. Since then, "Hiscram" has disappeared, there is no new video, and there has been no response from Ye Wei.
Why?
No one knows why.
The gossip media speculated that Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen's relationship had changed. Except for the one in Philadelphia, the paparazzi could not take any new dating photos of the two.
No matter what, every video has been saved by someone and will never be deleted, but people want to see new ones, want to hear Heathram¡¯s singing, and want to force Ye Wei out.
Maybe this was the driving force behind the incident, or maybe it was just for fun. A few days after the ia-songs channel was closed, an Internet trend suddenly emerged.
First one, then two, three, four Ordinary netizens pretended to be "Hiscram" on YouTube. In these selfie videos, everyone was wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and singing a cover of a song. The songs all start with the standard "Hello, I am Heathklam, and the song I sing for you today is" and end with "Good night."
Gradually, some people took off their masks after singing to reveal their true faces. The standard lines were also modified, and the mask styles were also changed. There were all kinds of things.
These videos are recorded with the most common computer cameras, some are amateur, some are professional, some are sung a cappella, some are accompanied by accompaniment, some are funny, like lip-syncing the original sound of "Hiskellam" without a mask, and some are Some comedy channels have produced remixed and comprehensive versions of "Hisgram", while others have produced versions of characters such as "Dora the Explorer" and "Sesame Street".
Warner Bros., the publisher of "V for Vendetta", also participated, releasing a version of "V", a successful viral promotion.
The Heskram incident is the first group carnival incident in the 15 months since the website was launched.
This is inseparable from the active promotion of the website. The hardcore and confidential nature of Tube is not a secret, and it comes from Chen Shijun, one of its founders. When future generations talk about nigahiga, kevjumba and other Asian celebrities who seduced tubes, there is still only the genius viy. Ye Wei's videos will be pushed to the homepage because his videos are indeed popular.
In July 2006, a video on YouTube with more than 500,000 views was already a successful viral video, and every video posted by Ye Wei canWith more than 1 million clicks, the videos on his viy channel often have millions, with the highest number "Toto's Day" reaching tens of millions, but there are not many updates, only one every two and a half months on average.
Nowadays, Tube is the most popular video sharing website. Sites such as msn-video, google-video, and ifilm have all been compared to each other. The Heathkram incident officially announced that its era has come.
Although the trending video is not on a scale of tens of thousands, it has created a new phenomenon that caught everyone by surprise. At the same time, it caused a major controversy in the media over song copyright fees, because there is no need to pay for covering songs online.
The ia-songs channel attracted more than 500,000 subscriptions in less than a month, making it one of the top ten channels in the world in terms of total subscriptions.
However, it ended abruptly, triggering heated discussions among netizens and the media as "one v disappears and thousands of v appear". The outside world was expecting "Hiskellam" to appear, but viy never stopped from the beginning to the end. Without saying a word, this became another mysterious incident for him.
But Ye Wei has not disappeared from the public eye, he is doing other things.
¡ù¡ù
The post-production of "The Lovely Bones" is going on six days a week. If Suzanne Hines is to judge, Ye Wei has become a parasite in the editing room again. He is there early when she goes to work, and he refuses to leave after she gets off work. This happens every day.
?Compared to the editing of "Soul Surfer" in April, the atmosphere in the editing room this time was very quiet. Ye Wei didn't joke much or even talk much. Hines also found that he was distracted more. Sometimes when she said something, he didn't hear clearly "What?" He always seemed preoccupied, probably because the content of the film was heavy and sad.
This month, this light depression has continued to appear in recording studios, sound effects editing rooms and other places.
As early as the first week of the month, after the Independence Day holiday, Liz started recording the narration track. As soon as she met Ye Wei in the recording studio, she gossiped and asked: "How is it?" Her gray eyes flashed, not knowing what to expect. of divine light.
Ye Wei shrugged and answered her: "It's a voluntary spare tire status."
Failed? Liz frowned, but volunteered to spare the tire? What's the meaning? Do you still have to volunteer to be a spare tire? She sorted it out in confusion: "You mean, you want to be her spare tire, but she doesn't want it, and then you are willing to be her backup? Is that so?"
"That's almost it." Ye Wei nodded.
"Pfft!!!" Liz almost choked to death without drinking water, "Unbelievable."
"I deserve it." Ye Wei said very seriously, "I can't tell you too much, you just need to know one thing: if there is anything wrong between her and me, it is all my fault."
Liz sighed even louder: "It's unbelievable!"
Ye Wei smiled.
"Do you want me to talk to her?" Liz asked, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
"No, no need." Ye Wei said, "It just takes time."
¡¡
On the afternoon of Sunday, July 9, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and Duoduo returned from traveling in China for nearly a month. The journey was longer than planned. They visited many cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and visited many scenic spots and historic sites. Have fun and forget about Disney.
"Wow! It's all mine!?" As soon as she got home, she felt like she had entered the doll kingdom, and she jumped up with joy. This made Toto, who was following closely next to him, even more excited and kept jumping for joy. His depression was cured as soon as everyone came back.
Looking at the toys in the room, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao also burst into laughter. This was the first time they bought so many gifts for their sister.
"Yes, it's all yours." Ye Wei laughed and nodded.
"Wow!" Duoduo hugged this doll and touched that doll, almost crying with joy.
But Gu Qiao saw something and asked his son softly: "Weren't they all given to Duoduo, right?" Ye Wei rolled his eyes and shook his head: "Yes, originally there was only one Duoduo. There are too many children." Too many toys are not good." Gu Qiao patted him comfortingly, "What do you think now?"
Ye Wei looked at Duoduo, who was running around not knowing which baby to hold, and said: "Be yourself and wait for her."
"Come on." Gu Qiao was very pleased to see her son really come out. "However, the love of youth is the most special. If you can catch it, catch it. If you can't, let it go."
"Okay, okay." Ye Wei shouted, not wanting to talk to her mother about this, it was too effeminate. He shouted to Duoduo: "Small cookie, brother will take you out to play. I remembered that there is one more thing I have to do." Duoduo, who was reluctant to let go of the dolls, was forced out by him: "What's the matter?"
"Resolve the shadow of your childhood!"
Ye Wei drove Duoduo in his family¡¯s SUV to the area near the Getty Center where she fell when she was lost. When walking into that small forestDuoduo immediately grabbed the tail of his clothes in fear and said in a panic: "Brother, there are monsters over there!"
"So what? The monster is afraid of your brother." Ye Wei walked forward swaggeringly.
Duoduo became more and more frightened, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she exclaimed: "It's right there!" Ye Wei also saw it, and the half-length scarecrow in black was still hanging on the pine tree, swaying in the wind. I really didn't know What kind of son of a bitch would put such a thing here to scare people?
"Brother, go and defeat it now!" Ye Wei made a fierce expression, roared and rushed towards the pine tree, hugged the trunk and climbed up with hands and feet, "Your death has come!"
Duoduo looked up and was inspired by her brother's bravery. She couldn't help but open her mouth and exclaimed: "Wow!"
I saw my brother climbed up the branch of the tree, one floor above the ground. He took out a bunch of keys with a Swiss Army Knife, and sawed off the rope of the scarecrow in a few moments. With a pop, the scarecrow fell from the tree to the ground. . But she still didn't dare to walk over.
"Oh yeah!" Ye Wei then climbed down from the tree, picked up the scarecrow and walked towards Duoduo, smiling: "Duoduo, it's okay!" Duoduo screamed and wanted to run away. Ye Wei smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, it turns out it's not a bad guy. It used to be, but not anymore. It wants to be a good scarecrow. Can you touch it?"
Duoduo stretched out her little hand and wanted to touch it, but she still had some psychological shadow, "Will it?"
"It's really okay. We are friends with it." Ye Wei shook the scarecrow in his hand and said in a rough voice: "Little lady, I am a scarecrow. You can call me a jerk. I was scared last time." You're sorry, don't think I'm strong, but I'm actually very gentle, but I don't have any brains."
"Hee hee." Duoduo laughed happily and touched the scarecrow's head with her right index finger. It was okay! The bright smile on her little face grew wider, "It's not a monster!"
"It's a friend!" Ye Wei laughed, "How about I dress you up as a scarecrow for Halloween this year? Just like its brothers and sisters."
Duoduo nodded excitedly and expectantly: "Okay, okay!"
"Go home." Ye Wei rubbed her little head, held her little hand, and led the scarecrow back to the road.
In the evening, the table in Ye Wei's dining room was full of joy.
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were telling interesting stories about this trip. Duoduo would interrupt from time to time and talk about how huge the Great Wall is, how majestic the Forbidden City is, and how there are so many people everywhere. They were talking with excitement on their faces. When she wasn¡¯t talking, she thought she was Quietly feed food to Totuo who is squatting next to him.
Most of the time, Ye Wei listened quietly, and when he spoke, he talked about interesting things on the set, which made the family laugh and laugh.
As night falls in Los Angeles, old songs with gentle melody are playing in the boys¡¯ bedroom.
Ye Wei sat in front of the computer desk, looking at Dreamweaver on the screen, working on the web page slowly, and flipping through the textbooks on the desk from time to time. After these few days of self-study, he has made rapid progress and knows how to use IDE software and code editors. However, his programming foundation is still very weak, and he is making progress little by little.
It¡¯s great to learn new things, it can expand your thinking and brainpower, and you can also chase girls, which is very interesting.
He, a person who has been "half-empty in everything" since childhood, has a new wooden bucket.
¡ù¡ù
With the main promotions of "Carrie", "Soul Surfer" and "The Lovely Bones", Ye Wei, who has rarely interviewed in the past six months, has begun to make more and more active appearances in the media except for the Oscar period. , he recently accepted an exclusive interview with "Variety Show".
[Variety show: You have finished filming two movies this year. Whether you make one or not, you have made amazing creations.
Ye Wei: Producing two movies in one year is not unprecedented, but when you actually do it, you realize how difficult and tiring it is, and how satisfying you can be when it is completed. I am fortunate to have a large group of great colleagues and this is all a team effort. Everything is going well now, three movies will be made, maybe more (laughs).
Variety Show: More? What's the meaning?
Ye Wei: Life is always full of surprises, and I don¡¯t know what they mean. When the time comes, the answer will naturally appear. ¡¿
The media and the public are very surprised by this. Viy never talks nonsense. He said this. Obviously he has this idea. A fourth movie?
[Variety Show: What was the biggest challenge in filming these two movies?
Ye Wei: It must be time. We have everything but no time. This is still in the case of digital shooting. If we shoot on film, we cannot complete it with the current quality. But I missed film again. When I finished making "Little Miss Sunshine," I said to myself, "I will never make a movie on film again. Who is this troublesome thing?"Whoever likes it takes pictures. ¡± Now I¡¯m like ¡°Okay, where¡¯s my Super Eight?¡± "Film not only has better texture, but also allows you to know more clearly that you are making a movie. Those troubles and failures will bring more thinking, but also compress your time. This is a question of trade-offs."
Variety Show: This year you have not only shown your talent in film, but also in photography, painting, literature and other aspects. People are shocked by your talent.
Ye Wei: Some of my talents have been promoted or underestimated, such as in the fields of photography and literature. I am just okay, but just because I am Ye Wei, some people are like "Wow, he is so awesome!" People were like, "Bah, what's so great about him." I was rising in this public DNA double helix.
Variety Show: Do you have any plans to publish a book? What about music? When can we hear you sing? Or already?
Ye Wei: I have no plans for the time being. These are my hobbies and I don¡¯t want to turn them into work. My focus is film, it's both my job and my love. Also, if you want to hear me sing, you should go to karaoke shops in Santa Monica. Maybe one day we will meet. ¡¿
In this regard, most of the media and the public think that viy is being modest. Even if those aspects are just okay and they all happen to the same person, then it is not "okay" that can be explained clearly.
Recently, Ye Wei named his zombie apocalypse novel "all-dead". He doesn't write many short stories anymore, but updates the long stories more diligently. The gripping story attracts more and more readers. Now he has revealed there are no further plans, leaving readers disappointed.
¡¾Variety: People are paying attention to the new actors known as "Hollywood's future girls". How are their performances? Let¡¯s talk about them in detail.
Ye Wei: I don¡¯t like to call them Hollywood, although I believe they will eventually represent the new generation of actresses in Hollywood and will play commercial blockbusters and silly commercial roles. But now they are still beautiful rough jade, independent and humble. , hardworking and professional, everyone has excellent performance.
Emma Roberts, cute, smart, a little impulsive, my best friend in work and life; Shailene Woodley, studious, strong, she was diagnosed with scoliosis earlier this year, and that didn't defeat her; Maudie Semin Dayton is shy, quiet and delicate. She is making progress every day and has a good understanding of herself; Kelsey Zhou is well-behaved and smart, just like a sister to me; Dakota Johnson is mature and professional. A bit eccentric and charming; Saoirse Ronan, a born actress, a very smart little girl; Margot Robbie, tenacious and cherished, she can have a big future; Elizabeth Olsen, smart , humorous, loves to joke, is prone to overeating, God bless her.
They are all very nice and I look forward to working with them next time. And I can't wait to shoot "Winter's Bone". Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia Vikander are doing very well in the preparation stage.
Variety Show: You must choose the best one, which one will you choose?
Ye Wei: Emma Roberts. Life is at stake (laughing). ¡¿
The media public did not see the questions and answers regarding emotional private life. Among the ten girls, there are four who have scandals with Ye Wei. The order of degree is Roberts Jr., Olsen Jr., Symington, and Johnson. The last two can basically be ignored.
??And most die-hard Wei Mi will agree that Ye Wei and Emma Roberts have an unusual relationship. They may be good friends now, and 99% of them have dated before.
As for who Ye Wei is dating now, no one outside knows.
"The National Enquirer" even reported that Ye Wei is actually gay. He has had enough of pretending to be a playboy and is plotting to come out.
This statement was ruthlessly shattered by viy girlfriends. With so many gossipy girlfriends, there will always be people with big mouths.
French supermodel Morgan Dublaid, who previously admitted to dating Ye Wei, had announced the end of their relationship a while ago. She talked about this exotic relationship in an interview with the famous French women's magazine "elle". Zan Ye Wei is amazing in all aspects, and she enjoys the time with him very much.
Why did you end the date? Was she dumped?
Dublaid regretfully admitted this: "It was very sudden that day. He called me to tell me his decision that we would not continue our development. I thought it was his sister's shock of missing that put him in a bad mood. Recently I asked again He, he said he has a girlfriend, I can only wish him well."
This is the beginning of the rumor that "Ye Wei has a new girlfriend" that started in early July, and it is also the most powerful evidence of knowledge.
But after this period of time, it is still a mystery who the prodigal son's new girlfriend is. Whether the paparazzi take photos openly or secretly, every time Ye Wei works, goes out on the street, walks the dog, returns to his residence, returns to his parents' house everything He is a solitary person, opposite sex or same sex, no date.??.
Who is it? The "insiders" in the gossip media couldn't explain why.
¡ù¡ù
It¡¯s Friday, July 14th. Two years ago, on July 14th, Ye Wei and Lily broke up. On this day two years later, he had already arranged to take this day off and make up for the shift on Sunday the 17th. Because today, there is a place he has to go to, and he has to wait there, the old place.
At six o¡¯clock in the morning, the sun rose as usual, lighting up the west coast.
At seven o'clock, Ye Wei rode his red mountain bike, which he hadn't ridden for a long time, to the bus stop next to the residential houses with beautiful environment in the eastern section of Sunset Boulevard to wait.
He looked around the street. There were no people or cars in the early morning. There were a few residents who were jogging or walking their dogs in the neighborhood, but she could not be seen.
Sometimes he leans on his bicycle, sometimes looks around, sometimes jumps in place, sometimes runs in place He takes out his phone, looks at it, and puts it back. When cars passed by, he would look into the window of every car and every passerby.
Time passed, at nine o'clock, there were more passers-by. Ye Wei put on a pair of sunglasses and took them off after a while. Wearing sunglasses is not easy to be recognized, but wearing sunglasses attracts attention.
He took a few steps back and forth, jumped and pumped his fists, moonwalked backwards, hit a big tree, leaned forward 45 degrees, and almost fell on the sidewalk in front of him. I stumbled a few times but luckily I was able to hold it back.
He looked at his watch, grinned, and sat down on the road with his back against the bushes and his hands on his knees.
Just as he was thinking about something, a fat middle-aged blond woman walked past with a brown poodle. The poodle sniffed and suddenly stopped and urinated on his right calf. Ye Weiyi came back to his senses, immediately ducked to the side and stood up, exclaiming at the same time: "Hey, brother! Hey!"
"Oh my god, Allen!" The middle-aged woman quickly wanted to pull her dog away, but she couldn't bring herself to pull it away with all her strength. "Alan" finished urinating beautifully. Even though he avoided it, the right leg of Ye Wei's jeans was still wet and smelly. The middle-aged woman apologized: "Sir, I'm very sorry."
Ye Wei was not angry, he just found it funny and said with a smile: "Don't blame it, my girl is too charming, her name is Toto. Madam, you can continue walking the dog, it's okay."
The middle-aged woman was about to thank him when she suddenly recognized him: "Are you the genius? Ye Wei? Oh my boy."
Ye Wei made a silent gesture, "I'm doing a street experiment on how many passers-by will recognize me. The cameras are there." He pointed in a direction on the other side of the road. The middle-aged woman looked over in surprise and laughed: "We are on camera! Oh my God, where can we see it?" Ye Wei said: "Maybe it will be a tube trick, but not necessarily, because I have to see the final effect of this experiment. , if it¡¯s not interesting, it won¡¯t be uploaded.¡±
"Of course." The middle-aged woman nodded in understanding, chatted with him for a few words, and then left with the dog in a good mood.
Ye Wei took off his wet sandals. The smell of dog urine filled the air. He had nothing to do. He took out his Swiss Army knife and cut his pants to cut off the wet leg. Unexpectedly, the fabric was still very hard. He spent a lot of effort to finish it with an irregular result, and half of his right calf was exposed.
The feet were together. He thought it was funny at first glance, so he cut off the left leg of his trousers. At first glance, he thought it was even more funny and effeminate. He is a person who will never wear spotted shirts, floral trousers and other clothes that have a slightly effeminate feel. Even sleeveless vests are included in the ranks of sissies. He refuses to wear them, preferring to dress like the Dude.
Now I cut a few holes in the knees on both sides of the pants, at least it looks a bit punk or goth or silly, I don¡¯t know.
The whole morning was spent like this. At noon, Ye Wei went home in ragged clothes, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, had lunch, brought a guitar and two bottles of mineral water, and prepared to disguise himself as a street performer.
Duoduo was very curious: "Brother, where are you going?"
"My paradise." Ye Wei said with a smile. Duoduo almost cried when she heard this: "No, brother, don't go to heaven!" He explained: "There are two kinds of heaven, one can only go to after death, and the other can go to alive. Brother Now I can go where I can, and I will come back, like your candy house." Duoduo realized.
Ye Wei carried the black guitar case on his back and walked back to his old place.
He looked into the bushes and picked up a message plane that he had put down when he left. It was still there, untouched. Put it in your pocket, take out the guitar from the wooden box, hold it and continue waiting. When people passed by, he would play the guitar and hum songs, but no one paid any attention to him.
One afternoon later, there were a few more small-denomination bills in the guitar case.
??Ye Wei went home, and the message plane was still the same as before. When six o'clock in the afternoon came, he started to pack up his guitar and prepare to leave.
Not today. It was impossible for her to forget today. She knew he would come. Throughout the whole day, she wanted to know and had known that he was here, but she did not show up. She was either indifferent or didn't want to show up. He felt that she didn't want to show up and she didn't like him yet.
Before leaving, Ye Wei tore off a piece of blue label paper from the label book and wrote a few lyrics, one side in English and the other in Chinese:
We-ll-meet-again. don¡¯t-know-where. don't-know-when.
But-i-knoe-sunny-day.
We will meet again, I don¡¯t know where, I don¡¯t know when.
But I know we will meet again, on a sunny day.
He folded the label paper into a simple paper airplane, looked around, and placed it above the bushes nearby.
Putting on the black guitar case, he walked along the sidewalk towards home.

"The interesting thing about "World of Dirty Words" is not only the meaning behind it, but also very interesting in itself. When the couple played by Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen looked at the sunset and said words like "I love you", they became a string The f-word, the absurd, black humor, and thought-provoking atmosphere reaches its peak." 4/4, Roger Ebert, "Chicago Sun-Times".
¡¾The birth story of "World of Dirty Words" written by: Gia Coppola
That is truly a unique thing in the new generation of film circles. It cannot represent Ye Wei, but it is definitely one of his masterpieces.
¡°While others were talking about High School Musical, we were making this, the-world-of-fuck, a great experimental film with a $2,000 budget and a one-day production cycle.
That day was July 2006, a Sunday. Ye Wei was working on the post-production of "The Lovely Bones" at that time and had only one day off a week.
The other night before get off work we talked about the possibility of a rating for TLB and we agreed that it wouldn't be too much to give it an R rating due to its brutal story, Mr. Harvey's words when he defiled Susie: "You're wearing white panties." Ah¡± is more disturbing than any number of f-words. But TLB would only be rated PG-13 because its publisher was Paramount, which turned out to be our guess.
From talking about TLB's rating, we then talked about the documentary "Film Unrated" about investigating the MPAA rating system. Everyone knows about the corruption of the MPAA rating system. Ye Wei once had a quarrel with MPAA over the rating of "Little Miss Sunshine". At that time, MPAA promised to publish a complete rating manual as soon as possible. However, nearly a year later, MPAA still failed to fulfill its promise under repeated public doubts. We all feel sad when this topic comes up.
Ye Wei is the kind of person who you never know what he will do next. He suddenly said to me: "Giya, we have a holiday tomorrow, we have to do something." I asked him: "Going for a picnic or to the beach? Going for a picnic on the beach?" He said, "I want to make a movie a day, are you interested in joining?"
I am not interested in how to become a billionaire, but I am interested in how to make a movie a day, and what kind of movie do I make?
Just after midnight, less than five hours after the accident, the five of us on the crew started taking action.
Ye Wei, he is a producer, director, screenwriter, photographer, editor, actor everything you can think of. Elizabeth Olsen, she is an actress. When she heard about our plan, she agreed to star in it with just the f-word. Lev Pobil, Kerwin Leiter, they take care of all the chores and logistics. And I am Ye Wei's assistant. The average age of the crew is 18, and sadly I am the oldest one.
It was almost entirely Ye Wei¡¯s idea. There was no script, digital shooting, no lighting, no gangs, handheld photography. The film length is 12 hours, with a total of 24 shots, one for half an hour. The most common thing is recording, because it is no different from ordinary movies and can be heard clearly.
Everything is based on his incredible idea, a pseudo-documentary about the travels of "badan" played by him and "fuzzy" played by Elizabeth Olsen in Los Angeles. This is okay, but the world in the film is a world with only swear words. That's what it sounds like. Any dialogue between the two actors is full of swear words, and there are swear words in different languages. As for what they said, each audience has their own understanding.
Before the movie was started, several of us were already laughing. Ye Wei said: "After the movie is started, even if we laugh, it's not hahahaha, it's f-f-f-f." Our goal is very simple. After the movie is finished, we will send it to MPAA for rating, so that MPAA can The raters of cara, the review partner agency, had to endure 12 hours of swearing bombardment to tell us how many swear words there are in "World of Swear." We really don¡¯t know, we just know that it¡¯s definitely more than any previous movie.
This prank?'s experimental films ultimately provided a huge impetus to the MPA's first release of a complete ratings manual in September of that year.
That day we went to multiple locations for filming, walking, filming, and swearing all the way. Elizabeth Olsen said she said more foul language that day than she had ever said in her entire life, and probably the rest of her life. After the filming, Ye Wei said that he saw that Olson's mouth had become a flat pout, and he couldn't see his own, which was actually the case.
"It's a pity that MPAA didn't tell us the answer in the rating report. It just said that there are countless words such as fuck, bitch, and bastard, and the film received an NC-17 rating. Ye Wei used the pseudonym "Badan-Wang" as his signature, which means the same as bastard. He said that the swear words in the credits at the end of the film were not taken into account by MPAA.
The huge controversy caused by "The World of Foul Words" was something we never imagined when we made it. At the end of that month, because of this movie, Ye Wei was reported by almost all mainstream media and appeared in every newspaper and magazine in the film industry. It was put on the Internet for free on April Fool's Day on April 1st of the following year after all three of Ye Wei's feature films were released. It lasted 12 hours. I wonder if anyone watched it all.
Some netizens said that after reading it carefully and counting it, there were 10,638 f-words in total. We don¡¯t know if that¡¯s the case, because we didn¡¯t see the whole story ourselves and couldn¡¯t stop laughing every time.
The media at the time all said: Ye Wei, this bad boy, has gone too far this time!
In fact, the next day, the five of us continued tlb¡¯s post-production and our respective summer plans as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Later I said to Ye Wei: "You are really the first person to use foul language to promote your ideals." Ye Wei told me: "Giya, it's not that I don't understand romance, it's just that life tells me that with whom I deal, What to say."
