Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On Monday, September 4, 2006, Ye Wei returned to work after half a month's leave. No matter what mood he was in, he had to devote himself to work.

    The pre-production period for "Winter's Bone" only lasted less than a month, which was enough because it was a 100% independent production. In other words, there were fewer office politics compared to SS and TLB.  Moreover, it does not have any big scenes or medium scenes. There are many location scenes and few actors, so the preparations in all aspects are very easy.

    Most of the preparation work will be carried out on site. The crew will stay in Los Angeles for less than half a month, and will set off for the Ozark Mountains of Missouri on September 13th.  That is the setting of the novel and where the author Daniel Woodrell lives.

    This morning, Ye Wei was in a daze. Others thought he was suffering from travel fatigue syndrome, or that he was thinking about poor children.

    Actually, he was thinking about the phone call last night. Everything was so messy. He seemed to have said, "You want to vomit, right?", "There are many other fish in the sea"

    Thinking of what she said, "I'm glad you understand, it's very important to me." The process was not very beautiful, but there were resultshow could the process be beautiful?

    "The pursuit of failure will always be bitter, failure"

    Although both tet and lms are loser movies, Ye Wei doesn't like failure, not even since he was a child, and maybe no one will like it.  However, after a good sleep, he watched the sun rise as usual and the sky became bright again. He knew for sure that he had failed in his pursuit of Lily.

    It can only go so far.

    He once told Nina and Amy that no matter what difficulties and twists and turns he encountered, he would be with Lily again and stay with her well.  But did you respect Lily's wishes at that time?  No.  He didn't want to give up just like that, but if persisting was only hurting her, how could he not stop?

    The more Ye Wei thought about it, the more funny he felt. It was true that many girls liked him, were even obsessed with him, or just wanted to have some passion.  These spoiled him, thinking that if he calmed down and got better, he could have Lily again by showing his attitude. At first, he was full of absolute confidence and acted with enthusiasm, thinking that things would get better soon.

    Why?

    Lily said, "No, let's go over. It's impossible for us. I don't like you anymore."

    He still adopts the attitude of "So what if it's true?" You will like me. If I am so good, I will be even better. One day you will suddenly like me again.

    This is just another example of arrogance, selfishness, self-righteousness, and self-righteousness.  Just like she said, "This is not on the set, it's not about doing whatever you want." He just didn't want to admit his failure, the loss of this love, and he didn't want to accept that he had lost her.

    Until last night, I accepted it not very coolly.

    Ye Wei remembered the conversation in the night wind on the way to Mexico last year.  At that time, Lily told him that it was not now, but there was a time when they loved each other too deeply, and their demands for love, each other, and themselves in each other's minds were too much and too high, so high that they defeated him.  them.

    She had already felt deeply and lowered the line of her requirements again and again, but he just trampled on her again and again, hurting her; and when she trampled on his still high line a little, the selfish "What is she going to do to me?"  "Dignity line, he went crazy and went crazy, and nothing changed.

    In the past three months, he tried to let her trample on him, but last night he really couldn't stand it. He was treating him as a voluntary spare tire. If she had a little encouragement instead of being annoyed

    Love is mutual, whether he admits it or not, he understands it.

    "What's wrong?" Gia saw something was wrong.  Ye Wei shook his head, not wanting to complain to her, "Travel fatigue syndrome."

    Gia continues to be his special assistant and is certainly a feminist.  W'sb's recruitment of feminists has received an enthusiastic response. He will be participating in interviews these days. What he wants is not just feminists, but also true independent filmmakers. The more such members, the more independent films will be.  slice of genes.

    There are no technical difficulties in shooting w¡¯sb, and digital shooting makes everything simpler and easier.  To put it bluntly, "Rui" walks around and talks to the characters in various scenes in the mountainous area. There are no surfing scenes in SS, no green screen scenes in TLB, no special effects, no stage scenes in LMS, and only a few driving scenes.  .

    It¡¯s like an upgraded version of tet.  Ye Wei and his second collaborator, cinematographer Michael Grady, discussed the film's photography style and decided to use more non-shaky handheld photography, aiming to create a close look and feel, like a cold wind blowing against the face.

    Sean Maurer has worked intensively with him on SS and TLB this year, and he is already very tired.

    Isn¡¯t this tired?Physical fatigue is mental fatigue.  After every kind of creation, there needs to be a buffer period to let the mood come out and allow the brain to restart.  The same goes for film team creation. Actors are in great need of it, as are offline staff.  He himself restarts quickly, but they don't necessarily, so this time he used more of tet's collaborators, like Julie Berghoff as art director, as well as new collaborators.

    Apart from him, the most important thing is the actor, because this is a movie where the success or failure largely depends on the performance of the lead actor, especially the performance of "Rui".

    ¡°It¡¯s not okay to do that with Emma, ??and it¡¯s not okay to do that with Liz.

    This afternoon, Ye Wei met with Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia Vikander in the CEO office of the joint headquarters.  We have been in contact via email since the beginning of the year, but we haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Compared to the time of the talent show, the two of them have grown up a bit, but their appearance and temperament have not been ruined, they are just better.

    "You" Ye Wei sat on the rotating office chair and looked at the two girls opposite the desk, "How old are you?"

    Jennifer and Alicia were both stunned. Viy knew that, but had he forgotten?  It is not necessary to ask about age. What matters to actors is not their real age but their acting age.  But when he asked, Jennifer replied: "16 years and 20 days." Alicia also replied: "17 years and 11 months, my birthday is on the 3rd of next month"

    "16 and 18 years old." Ye Wei suddenly let out a long sigh, making the two of them confused. He said: "You, you you"

    Both of them looked at him, and saw his eyes wandering around them. Both of them soon became a little uneasy. Jennifer moved slightly, and Alicia rolled up her hair.

    No matter whether they will achieve great things in the future, right now, one is a farm girl from a lower-middle-class family in Kentucky, and the other is a young actress from Sweden. Both of them are nobodies.  Opposite him is the genius Viy, the most powerful person in the new generation of Hollywood.

    Last August, the youth version of "people" magazine "teen-people" launched a new list "Hollywood New Generation Power List Top 10", where young people selected the most powerful red stars.  This year's list was announced last month. Ye Wei was not shortlisted last year, but this year he was the direct winner; second place was last year's champion Ashton Kutcher (28 years old), and third place was Lindsay Lohan (20 years old).  age).

    He is also the new generation number one playboy in Hollywood

    "Four of the "Future Girls" have already had scandals with viy, not including them and 12-year-old Ronan, which is equal to 4/7.  Nina Dobrev of tet is his ex-girlfriend.  Ye Wei only has the routine of falling in love and having scandals with actors of his own age. SS has Emma Roberts, TLB has Elizabeth Olsen, and now w¡¯sb will

    But rumors that viy has a girlfriend, probably Olsen, are just rumors.

    When the two of them were looked at by him like this, they couldn't help but have normal fantasies. What was the bad boy thinking?

    Alicia does not avoid his gaze. If Ye Wei wants to date her, she will be very happy. It will be like a dream come true.

    "You are very young." Ye Wei finally spoke, with a serious expression and serious tone: "Ten years later, in 2016, you are 26 and 28 years old respectively. You are still very young for life, and you are no longer in your youth for actors.  . What do you think will happen to you then?"

    The two of them didn't react for a while, and he frowned and said, "Tell me, tell me whatever you want." Jennifer said, "I'm still an actor, maybe a director." He looked at her, "You want to be a director?  Jennifer nodded: "I'm reading books on directing. If I can't become an actor, I will study directing full-time."

    "So directors are for people who are not actors, right?" Ye Wei asked.

    "No, I mean" Jennifer steadied her eyes, "I'm not pretty. If being an actor doesn't work, I'll find another way to stay. I like movies."

    Ye Wei smiled and said: "Then continue, it won't hurt to learn some skills as a director. You will better understand what a movie is and be better at acting." He looked at Alicia, "What about you?"

    "I'm still an actor." Alicia can't forget that breakfast. "Maybe after getting married I may not be as successful in the United States, but I am definitely still an actor."

    "You all want to be an actor for a long time, right?" Ye Wei saw them saying yes and laughed: "Is this the request? I have seen more, I have seen ten years later in 2016  , you are also nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.¡±

    Both girls smiled.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know about the others, but there is also Saoirse Ronan. That girl was born to perform, she is perfect.¡±

    Ye Wei's eyes moved between their eyes, and he said solemnly: "This is not a joke, nor is it an encouragement, this is a goal! An agreement, in 2016 you willIt¡¯s not necessarily the first time to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress at the same time, but it must be that year.  Ten years is my minimum requirement for you, okay?  "

    "I will work hard.", "I will try my best!" Both of them nodded in agreement, thinking that he was encouraging, and he was indeed encouraged.

    "Then now, get out of this office." Ye Wei pointed outside and looked at the two people who were stunned, "Pack your luggage and go to the Ozark Mountains tomorrow, not to travel, but to observe the local people.  , how they talk, how they walk, how they look at others, how they think about things, learn everything about them.

    The crew has already made arrangements for you. You will also do some mountain work such as chopping firewood and boiling water, which should be quite difficult. You will also come into contact with local gang members, so you don¡¯t have to worry about safety or whether you will learn well.  If you are not happy, you feel that you cannot endure the hardship, you are afraid"

    Ye Wei paused and said in a deep voice: "Get out of here now, don't waste my time."

    ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, I¡¯ve done a lot of farm work.¡± Jennifer¡¯s face showed a hint of excitement, viy attached great importance to this movie.

    "I've never done farm work, but I'm not afraid. I just want to meet your requirements." Alicia said something else inadvertently.

    Ye Wei leaned back in his chair, "Go ahead. I'll see you again on the 13th. I hope you can give me a surprise by then."

    When they saw him looking at the ceiling, holding the back of his head with his hands, and looking like he was not ready to say anything else, they all got up and left.

    "Goodbye." Alicia felt that he had changed a lot from the Ye Wei in her memory. Not only was his appearance more mature, but his humor

    "Viy, goodbye." Jennifer said goodbye.

    "Wait a minute, do you know" Ye Wei suddenly stopped the two people who were leaving. When they looked back, he asked: "Is it possibleit's just because of travel fatigue syndrome? I mean, there's nothing wrong with it.  , It¡¯s just an illusionforget it, let¡¯s go.¡±

    The two of them responded and left with doubts. They walked out of the office and closed the door.

    The office fell into silence.
