The longer a female filmmaker follows Ye Wei, the more she will be spoiled and lost. She naively thinks that the entire industry will be like that, and that there are no such ugly things as sexism and age discrimination, until you leave him and go out on your own.
I'm talking about myself. In 2006, I started collaborating with Ye Wei because the crew of "Winter's Bone" specially recruited female feminist members.
There is no need to say more about his many outstanding achievements, but his attitude towards women needs to be detailed.
¡°Probably no one could have imagined that I, a small production assistant at the time, could sit down with him to discuss and laugh, and that he would really take your opinions seriously. Although I am two years older than him, this is a rare thing on a set with strict order.
I didn¡¯t know this until later. When I just left him, I was confident and eager to use what I learned from this master and my own talents. Reality gave me a cold water on my enthusiasm. Whether in Hollywood or in the independent film industry, whether you want to be a director, screenwriter, producer, photographer, art director or an actor, discrimination and even persecution against women are everywhere. There is a real existence, but it doesn't exist around Ye Wei.
Nowadays, people say that I am one of the representative women of feminism. How much influence do I have? How many girls are waiting for me to speak on this matter:
The incident originated from the conflict between Ye Wei and Taylor Swift on Twitter. First, Swift praised Ye Wei's new movie, but Ye Wei's response was to ridicule: "Calm down, I don't want to be written into a bad album by you." Swift responded with an expletive.
Countless Swift supporters began to attack Ye Wei. People accused him of being a playboy and a forever bad boy. There was no reason to mock a female singer who also relied on her own talent and hard work to achieve success.
Things escalated when Lorde joined the group, and the talented singer mocked Swift. Rather than her identity as a feminist, people pay more attention to her as Ye Wei's number one fan. Swift¡¯s supporters scolded her and her Asian boyfriend James Lowe with disgusting racial slurs; Lorde¡¯s supporters scolded Swift and her ex-boyfriends with the same disgusting nastiness. Discourse.
At the same time, a personal conflict turned into a duel between men¡¯s rights and women¡¯s rights. Ye Wei was pushed to the opposite side of women's rights, and many people who were dissatisfied with men's rights and him took the opportunity to vent their anger on him; while groups that had long been resentful of women's rights and Taylor Swift took the opportunity to use him as a banner to bombard him indiscriminately.
People are forcing you to take sides on social networks, either supporting Ye Wei or Taylor Swift. There is no third camp to choose from.
Countless influential young female public figures are pitiful, so how do they choose? To them, Ye Wei is a great talent, mentor, idol, collaborator, good friend, ex-boyfriend, and fianc¨¦. However, if they openly support Ye Wei, they will be accused of betrayal of women's rights.
However, you must take sides, otherwise the media will say things for you that you never said.
The most powerful girls had to take a stand first, Elizabeth Olsen said: "It's fun to watch a bunch of strong, strong and rough women attack a big man." Emma Roberts said: "It's scary. Shake! I mean Ye Wei is anti-feminist? You made a huge mistake."
¡°They are all under attack. In this matter, humor, reason, sensibility, and explanation have no effect. All originally neutral and sober views have been ridiculed and misinterpreted.
Especially after Maudie Symington made her remarks, she rarely spoke on social networks. This time she claimed: "I don't understand extreme feminists who still want men to have children. This attitude towards life will last a lifetime. Not happy." She was fiercely attacked for this, and her religious beliefs (lds) were most attacked, and people even said she supported polygamy.
¡°It became a complete farce.
This thing really drives me crazy because Ye Wei and Taylor Swift are both good friends of mine, and Ye Wei is my mentor, and I know that¡¯s not the case.
I didn¡¯t speak immediately, waiting for Ye Wei¡¯s handling. I expected him to take it seriously and publish a long article to end this farce. After all, it was his lack of grace that caused the incident.
It¡¯s just that viy seems to think this is no big deal. He may still be grinning. He tweeted: ¡°Everyone, calm down, I just don¡¯t like Taylor Swift because her songs are getting worse and worse. If this is the case If you can make her write a good song, come to me (picture of a crying baby covering her ears).¡±
His attitude makes me a little disappointed, but I know that he really just doesn¡¯t like Swift¡¯s new songs in recent years. It¡¯s not disrespectful to women, nor is it male chauvinism. In fact, in my opinion?He is a feminist.
I want to tell you a story from the past, which is why Jennifer Lawrence, another person who was forced to take sides, said: "No matter what Ye Wei said, his intention was definitely not to offend women. I am a feminist, but Don¡¯t think I¡¯m going to attack him, I learned so much from him.¡±
That was the first day of filming for "Winter's Bone", and the filming lasted less than an hour.
Director Ye Wei and Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the heroine "Rui", had a disagreement over a scene. Although I was just a rookie on the set at the time, I also understood how fast and abrupt the disagreement could be.
At that time, Ye Wei, who was 18 years and 8 months old, was the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Director, a talent that filmmakers of the same age could only look up to; and Jennifer Lawrence, who was 16 years and 2 months old, was starring in a film and television for the first time. The fresh person was promoted and appreciated by Ye Weiyi. It is the most appropriate way to say that she was nothing at that time.
They argued for a while, and Ye Wei said: "Whatever you think is fine, just act as I say." Lawrence was extremely reluctant, her face turned red, and she said: "i-under-protest." "
The senior members on the set burst out laughing, even Gia Coppola was smiling, but the newbies like me, Britt Marling, and I didn¡¯t know whether we should laugh or not.
You don¡¯t need to understand the studio culture to understand the ridiculous side of that sentence. Lawrence didn't have the slightest capital to under-protest Ye Wei (reservation, extreme displeasure, objection, protest). She might even be kicked out of the crew on the same day because of this, and the actor of "Rui" became a different person.
Later I realized that there was another level of ridiculousness in this matter. What Lawrence said coincided with a practice that has been circulating on the set for many years:
If the director still insists on shooting under insufficient light or other risky conditions, the director of photography will mark the scene as "under-protest" before shooting to avoid being blamed by the producer if something goes wrong. This kind of self-protection also extends to other departments. For example, if the recorder and the director are arguing about over-the-top issues, they will also use "under-protest" to avoid taking responsibility.
Jennifer Lawrence, a 16-year-old fresh-faced actress, was filming a scene that seemed to be the most ordinary. When facing her boss, boss, director, and film genius Ye Wei, she said seriously and disobediently: "i- under-protest.¡±
That kind of laughter is as good as any joke in "Sisters", so many people laugh not because they look down on her, but because she inadvertently put on a funny show.
This book was the biggest joke of the "Winter's Bone" crew during the entire filming period, the kind of pistachio that makes every lunch. And it can follow Lawrence throughout her acting career, and it can be spread out at that time, causing her to be labeled as arrogant and stupid. We didn't know it at the time, but this sentence could have ruined Lawrence's later brilliant career.
¡°Besides, the laughter was really harsh, and some people could hardly stop laughing. It was a serious blow to a new actor¡¯s self-confidence.
"Just when I didn't know whether I should laugh or not, I noticed that Ye Wei didn't smile. Not only did he not smile, his expression became ugly, but he was not looking at Lawrence. He glanced at everyone who was laughing around him, and his sharp gaze stopped the laughter.
"Is it funny?" he said. The first sentence was calm, but the next sentence he was like a roaring lion: "Isn't it funny!?"
The entire set was overwhelmed by his yelling, including Jennifer Lawrence. Although she stubbornly held on, she had no idea what was happening.
Ye Wei pulled Lawrence over and said loudly to all of us (these are his original words, I remember them clearly): "This girl, she has the heart of an excellent actor, and she is competing with me for the role of Rui 'Control, this is what a good actor should do and must do! Why are you laughing? You fucking bastards who don't understand acting, just laugh if you want, but I tell you, this girl She is going to win an Oscar, and her acceptance speech will be like this: Thank you to those who once laughed at me! Now you can shut up, take your praises and get out, because I don¡¯t care!¡±
Everyone was afraid to speak. At that time, I didn¡¯t know how precious this was, but I already understood Ye Wei¡¯s respect for women.
"Jenny, I changed my mind. This scene will be shot as you said." Ye Wei then said to Lawrence, "You can do it."
Lawrence¡¯s face was flushed, and she tried to hold back tears, but she still cried quietly. She couldn't act emotionally, and so did everyone else. The crew had to take a half-hour break less than an hour after starting the filming.
Ye Wei and Lawrence walked aside and talked alone for a long time. I don't know what they said, but when filming started again, Lawrence was better than before.
Out of respect for viy?The most senior member of the crew was not dissatisfied. After that, no matter what happened, no one dared to laugh at the professional attitude of Jennifer Lawrence or any actor or staff member on the crew.
"Winter's Bone" has many legendary on-set rumors, and this incident, I think, best explains Ye Wei. Although he has a reputation as a playboy, he is actually a man who completely respects, trusts and values ??women. According to public standards, he is a feminist.
We don¡¯t know how this farce will end. More and more girls are taking sides. I just want to appeal to everyone to be calm, rational and objective. This internal dispute is just a joke for the enemy: "Girls are always divided into different gangs like in high school, and they fight non-stop every day, because one boy can make a mess."
I know girls suffer from sexism in their lives, but things will only get better if we are more united in facing it. ¡¿

Time has entered August, and the summer of 2006 has come to the end of summer.
Every busy summer, some people in the film industry are happy and some are sad. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is unstoppable in theaters, with global box office heading towards 1 billion U.S. dollars; "Banshee" with a budget of 70 million has only been released for three weeks. Breaking 40 million at the box office, this was Shyamalan's first major failure after becoming famous, and Warner Bros. Pictures was devastated.
Ye Wei¡¯s attention remains high, but his movie has not yet arrived.
"The World of Dirty Words", which was produced in one day, is an experimental film and will not be released to the market. Except for those film critics and media people who have received the DVD, ordinary audiences will not have the opportunity to see it for the time being. If you want to watch viy movies this year, you still have to wait for those three feature films.
The release version of "The Lovely Bones" has not yet been completed in August, exceeding the original plan by one month. Ye Wei was very picky about what he did.
It¡¯s not because of the special effects production, although the special effects haven¡¯t been done yet.
There are two main types of movie special effects, 3D special effects and post-production special effects. The former uses 3D technology to create relevant scenes, models and effects, and the latter is synthesized through real-shot scenes, photo materials and materials rendered by 3D software. Both virtual construction and real-shot simulation can be time-consuming. It is not surprising that a special effects blockbuster takes one or two years to complete the special effects.
The special effects of tlb are not difficult to produce. The animators of Industrial Light and Magic are doing the most common synthesis work, and the most time-consuming thing is to do the rendering.
In the special effects session, Ye Wei also had participation, providing the animators with the imagination and intention of his art finger, as well as art design and selection plan.
Over the past month, Industrial Light and Magic has completed the preliminary special effects shots, and more time is needed to render and improve them. Ye Wei took these images with very fake special effects and finished the final editing, and then moved on to ADR, audio, soundtrack and other aspects.
The composer is 53-year-old Jenn Kezmelik, the first collaboration between the two. Kezmelik is the 2005 Oscar winner for Best Original Score ("Finding Neverland"), but he does not take many jobs. Since winning the award, he has only scored two Polish feature films "Never Lived" and "Never Live". A girl like me". What impressed him about tlb was not the reward, but the original story, which was also the style he was good at, warmth, sadness, and literature.
Ye Wei has only one request for him: don¡¯t be afraid of being overly sad, and step on the accelerator of the soundtrack with all your heart!
These works, either earlier, later or at the same time, were combined into the public release version.
That was Thursday, August 10th, more than a week late, but fortunately it was still within budget.
When all the special effects shots are officially completed, and then those images are replaced, it will be officially put into print for public release.
But this internal preview version has already made some big names eager to watch it. It's not Spielberg. He said he would wait for the official version before watching it. Anyway, the production power lies with Ye Wei. But Paramount president Gail Berman was nervous.
Last year, Viacom Group experienced great turmoil and was split into CBS Group and New Viacom. Tom Freston, the former president of MTV Channel, became the president of New Viacom. In May last year, Freston resigned from Fox Television Network poached Gail Berman as president of Paramount.
? 50-year-old Gail Berman is one of the most powerful women in Hollywood. She is the author of the influential TV show "American Idol".
The reason why Freston, Berman, and Paramount CEO Brad Gray took over is because they understand young audiences. Under their leadership, Paramount became youthful, cutting-edge, and its performance improved, laying the foundation for confidence in acquiring DreamWorks.
Although DreamWorks collapsed, Freston and others knew that Paramount could be revived with the help of independent filmmakers. In the past, Paramount went into decline by adhering to the same old Hollywood formula. The production power of DreamWorks + the distribution power of Viacom Group equals success.
So after the acquisition, DreamWorks personnelwas actively absorbed, and in the end Paramount had more layoffs than DreamWorks. Paramount also began to actively participate in independent film markets such as the Sundance Film Festival to purchase films, and actively cooperated with independent filmmakers and independent film companies.
Spielberg is the biggest gain, he also involves Amblin Entertainment, Kathleen Kennedy and his wife.
Ye Wei is a gain that cannot be ignored. Paramount originally wanted him to direct "The Fantastic Beasts", but was given the middle finger and had to switch to another kind of cooperation.
Of course Freston and the others will not hold on to this talented boy. Forget about Shyamalan, viy is little Spielberg and the future. He scolded Hollywood, what do they mean? Maybe in a few years he will join another big group or studio, or start his own independent company. The position at Paramount is temporary, but the friendship between Lao Si and Ye Wei is long-lasting.
The temperament of artists and independent filmmakers is something that managers must enjoy, provided they are able to make money. If you can't make money three times, the whole industry will be kicked out.
Gail Berman has one main responsibility, which is to select films and plan projects that will be more popular with young people and generate more box office.
She values ??"The Lovely Bones" and also Ye Wei, hoping that this will be a film that will win both box office and awards. Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers", Bill Condon's "Dreamgirls" and Ye Wei's tlb are Paramount's reliance during the 2006-07 awards season.
???????????????? But all hope is high, and it still depends on the quality of the movie and the reputation of the screening. This will affect Paramount¡¯s investment in its promotion and distribution.
On the afternoon of Friday the 11th, an internal screening of TLB was held in a medium-sized screening room at the Paramount headquarters on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood.
When the 125-minute feature film was screened, the soft ending music played, and the screening room was silent, with only a few choking sounds, and everyone's eyes felt uncomfortable.
Birman and Ye Wei were sitting in the middle of the front row. She looked at the tearful young man next to her. She was 50 years old and her eyes were wet.
This also interferes with her judgment. She can¡¯t tell whether it can be done. The overall look is too sad and melancholy! Even though the ending makes the audience feel better for a few minutes, it is still so sad. This is a heartbreaking movie to watch. This is a preview version with unfinished special effects.
"Weige" Berman looked at Ye Wei, thinking how to persuade him: "Are you sure the ordinary audience can stand this?"
Ye Wei wiped his tears and shook his head: "I don't know. No one here knows how the market will react. I only know that the audience of the original novel is definitely not going to see the comedy. They know what will happen. In theory, they will accept it. this."
??Berman also had doubts about this: "The original work is not so like a tear gas, and the readership and audience are only a small part, and the movie has a larger market."
"Gail, I understand your responsibility. You want to persuade me to make it as commercial as possible."
Ye Weihao smiled and looked at the credits rolling on the screen in front of him, tears still flowing: "To be honest, I don't care what ordinary viewers think. This is not a commercial film in the first place, and the target audience is not watching "Spider-Man" , "Harry Potter" or "Fantasy" people, if they don't like to watch it, then don't watch it. This movie is not made for them, but for those who have watched it like me now. The audience cried happily."
"I'm worried that even the audience won't be able to stand it," Berman sighed.
"Who knows." Ye Wei leaned on the back of his chair and let out a long breath.
From August 2005, when Julia Roberts requested to join the TLB competition for adaptation rights, it has lasted a full year. For film production, one year is not a long time, but for youth, it is so long, too long.
He smiled and said: "I don't know if it is art, it must be my emotional journey. No matter what it looks like, whether it can sell well or whether it can hit the awards season, it is what it is. You can't I like it, but I wouldn¡¯t change it, so it¡¯s an independent film, it¡¯s what it is, my The Lovely Bones.¡±
Birman nodded helplessly and could only promote it as "the saddest movie of the year." She said, "I will write an email to you with my post-viewing recommendations."
"Okay." Ye Wei understood why, it didn't matter, "If it is defined as a failure, the responsibility lies entirely with me."
I can now focus on my last movie of the year, "Winter's Bone."
But for the rest of this month, after arranging things, he will travel around the world. After being busy for so long, it¡¯s time to take a rest.
¡ù¡ù
There will be circles, gangs, and camps in any industry or place. ?Films are simply divided into: mainstream and non-mainstream, commercial and artistic, Hollywood and independent films.
What camp does Ye Wei belong to? The media and the public have a public opinion about this: viy started as an independent, and Tom Hanks was kind to him. He is a disciple of Spielberg. His box office return rate is astonishingly high, but he is rebellious outside of business. He said "die to Hollywood" and did so. Pursuing art is a banner of the independent camp, but he does not isolate himself from the mainstream.
"The New York Times" said that he is "the leader of Hollywood's new generation of rebel camp", and the recent "World of Rude" once again proved this statement.
Unlike the "playboy" described by the gossip media, now talking about people in movies, the public opinion of Ye Wei in the industry is that he is a genius with an amphibious personality, arrogance, frivolity, and a cult.
It depends on where he wants to live and whether he is willing to put his talents into business.
There are not many independent filmmakers who can be called "talented", but they all have this kind of amphibious ability.
For example, Richard Linklater, who is 46 years old, has starred in "Urban Rondo", "Youth", "Half-Asleep Life", "Love Before Dawn", "Love at Sunset" countless An independent classic, once synonymous with rebellious youth. When he started making commercial films for Paramount, "School of Rock" in 2003 had a budget of 35 million and a global box office of 131 million, with a 92% freshness rating and a 64% likeability rating.
But when fans and filmmakers talk about this chatty king, they won't say "School of Rock" is his masterpiece. What they talk about most is the two movies "Love Is Here", even though their combined global box office is 21.52 million. . When talking about him, everyone gives a thumbs up.
This is the charm of independent filmmakers, and Ye Wei also has this charm.
Those who are artistic at heart like, or are eager to cooperate with these people. Keanu Reeves has collaborated with both of them this year, but "The Blind Side", which was released on July 7, only received average reviews, with 69% freshness, 74% popularity, and a North American box office of just over 5 million.
Linklater is neither slow nor fast in making films. He has made 12 films in 2016, but he still doesn't know when "Boyhood", which has been filming for 4 years, will be filmed.
Ye Wei is making films very quickly. Not counting experimental films, he has made 5 films in 3 years, and maybe 6 films in 3 years in the end.
There is another opportunity to cooperate with viy! Not just for actors, this recent offline recruitment information has attracted much attention: "Winter's Bone" is recruiting feminist female practitioners, with positions throughout the entire crew.
Filmmakers are curious, why? Take the announcement on Ye Weiden's blog: "Girls, "Winter's Bone" needs as many feminist women as possible, because this movie is not about family, not about men, it is a movie about women with feminist consciousness. . Join us!¡±
"It's like another talent show for behind-the-scenes, and naturally it's a response.
Even excluding those women who couldn¡¯t bear Viy¡¯s flirtatious image and ignored her, there were also a large number of female independent filmmakers who submitted their resumes and accompanying articles with insights on women¡¯s rights, eagerly waiting for a reply from the crew.
¡ù¡ù
Why do you like making independent films?
Freedom and control, but not everything.
Ye Wei thought about it, there is also the fear of losing the pursuit of art and self, the loss of life is another matter; there is also a kind of arrogance, independent films are still successful without relying on the so-called advantages of big studios, which is more proof I have my own talents; I also have temporary satisfaction in terms of money and material things; and I don¡¯t want to waste my youth on movies that will look back and say, ¡°Why did I make such a stupid thing back then?¡±
¡°The only thing that can satisfy me now is independent films.
After "The Exorcism Video" and "The World of Dirty Words", we have finally produced a 100% independent film again, and this is the first time we have "seriously" produced an independent literary feature film with a regular crew and a long cycle.
The 3 million budget is all his own, without any commercial considerations, without any shackles, he just shoots his own ideas, this feeling is simply refreshing for him.
"Winter's Bone", he regards it as a creative opportunity to completely release his current ability and pursuit of independent art, for the first time.
It hasn¡¯t started yet, but just thinking about it makes me feel happy!
He really has absolute control, and he is the only one on the screenwriting team.
Both w¡¯sb and tlb started in August last year. After a year of ups and downs, revisions and revisions, the adapted scripts were completed again and again, and changed again and again. He knew there would be constant revisions before pre-production began in September and even before filming started in October.
But what I¡¯m going to say has already been decided, what I¡¯m changing is how to say it better.
w¡¯sb was published by Little, Brown on August 7, and received rave reviews from book critics. leafHowever, I have been asked by many friends who have read this book, is this a feminist novel? Even asked him to ask the original author Daniel Woodrell.
Ye Wei didn¡¯t ask. Adapting a movie is a kind of re-creation. No matter what the original author thinks, whether it is a feminist novel or not, everyone can have different ideas.
By making w¡¯sb the most direct and pure feminist film, things will be the simplest, easier to adapt, easier to shoot, easier to perform, and easier to appreciate. This story can definitely make an excellent film about the awakening and growth of women¡¯s rights.
But that¡¯s not the real reason why w¡¯sb moved him, it¡¯s the combination of strength and softness of women.
Ye Weiyi has always supported feminism, but does not support radical feminism, which is essentially the same as crazy male chauvinism, which believes that a certain gender (usually one's own gender) is superior.
So he loves strong and independent girls, but he will never date a radical, or even take a second look.
He has talked with many girls about women's rights, and there are not many girls who are truly peaceful and confident on this matter. Most of them are one of several typical types: one is yelling at men; one is telling women's grievances; and one is not opinionated. Others are just saying what they say; one is just a banner, in the final analysis, it is just a righteous reason to achieve the goal; one wants to change from exploited to exploiter; one has no interest and only thinks about how to please men and interact with other women. There is a sense of superiority in front of you.
With the three recent ex-girlfriends, Ye Wei also talked about women¡¯s rights with them during their relationship.
Nina, that silly girl, is the one who follows everyone else's opinions and has the least idea. She laughed and said, "I don't know, I'm a girl, of course I support women's rights!" But she didn't understand much, so he pretended to be serious. As he talked, his attitude changed, and he lost his temper when he realized he had been fooled.
Amy is the calm and confident type, and she doesn¡¯t like radicals either: ¡°I grew up in a single-parent family and have always longed for a complete family. I understand the equal importance of men and women. Equality between men and women is not about achieving a place where women¡¯s rights are higher than women¡¯s rights. Another unequal society dominated by men.¡±
He likes her mentality and yearns for family, but he does not completely give up on his ideals and career and pursues the self-worth she wants to pursue. What a role model for women.
But he loved Lily's views and everything about her. She said at that time: "I think girls should be able to swing a sword and dance in makeup. You can't lose women's beauty just because you want women's rights, and you can't forget that wielding a sword is also a woman's beauty. "Now she swung the sword and he was stabbed black and blue.
Ye Wei thought that women who are both strong and soft are the women who best represent women.
"Rui" is like this, w'sb is like this, the awakening and growth of women's rights is just the surface, the inner part is a kind of sword-wielding and love for beauty. Life makes Rui have to wield the sword, but the love of beauty is Rui's natural dream and desire as a woman. The person has gone from being a counter-balance to a kind of beauty wielding a sword.
This is actually very obvious in the original work. Rui wore a skirt at the beginning and kept wearing skirts. She wanted to wear a beautiful skirt. It wasn't until she was beaten up by a group of women during a trip to find her father that she was almost disfigured and dead, and she started wearing pants.
No longer wearing a skirt means that she has failed. Her original goal of "finding her father" has certainly failed. She has been completely defeated by life. But she was defeated and refused to break down. In the end, the group of women took her to find her father's body, and she sawed off an arm with her own hands.
Rui, who is looking for her father, is a girl seeking the protection of patriarchy. Those women who are ordered by men to beat her are women living under patriarchy. When Rui's feminism awakens (no longer wearing skirts), women living under patriarchy will become Taking her to find her father's body, which she equates to the parricide of sawing bones, is a seizure of male power.
However, does women¡¯s rights mean becoming men? no. Rui cried bitterly twice, once in the middle of the story when she cried bitterly to her mother because she couldn't bear it any longer; and again at the end when she cried bitterly while holding her uncle in tears who wanted to take revenge and die. Both times she showed off her feminine side.
Rui¡¯s father has died, and Uncle Tears is about to die too. Although the house has been saved, is it really okay to have a house with no male rights and only female rights?
The last few lines of character dialogue in the original work describe Woodrell's attitude. Rui's two brothers asked her, "Are you leaving? Do you want to leave us?" Is Rui, who has awakened to women's rights, leaving? Rui said, "No. I won't get lost without the pressure of you two on my shoulders." Feminism without the pressure of men's power is a kind of lost feminism, and vice versa.
With all these, how can we only make the simplest feminist movie?
Because it¡¯s easier to win awards? Bullshit.
So Ye Wei must be loyal to the original work. Rui must go from wearing a skirt to not wearing a skirt. Rui must have two younger brothers, one representing her father and one representing her uncle.
About her two younger brothers, her education, love and fear of them, that's another story.
Making independent films is so exciting. Ye Wei feels like he doesn¡¯t even want to travel anymore. It¡¯s just an illusion. Who doesn¡¯t love traveling? Not him anyway.
On the evening of Monday, August 14, he will set out, maybe by himself, maybe with two people.
That day, the first month of the cooling-off period in the second year of the relationship, will that girl show up?
