    How is Ye Wei doing recently?  The gossip media and the public are very concerned. This bad boy went to make a movie again, this time in the remote Springfield, Missouri, with a population of only 150,000. It is a mecca for country music, because in the 1950s, the United States' first  The country music television show "Ozark Celebration" is taped here.

    But today, except for those who go there specifically, there are no professional paparazzi here.  This means that viy's private life may become more mysterious. The latest photos of him that people saw were taken at the Los Angeles Airport. Everyone can see that the big bad guy is in a good mood, sweeping away the depression he had felt a while ago.

    His hair was trimmed short, and he smiled and waved to the camera. His long-lost sunny handsomeness seemed to be a little strange.

    What makes you so happy?  Where did the sad viy go?  The media and fans can't see through it, and he hasn't broken up with his rumored girlfriend?  Have a new relationship?

    The prodigal son still has a personality, but the reality and the scandal are gradually drifting away. For three months, there was only Elizabeth Olsen, but she was photographed and quickly denied it once when she was out on the street.  Some rumors without evidence and a girlfriend who has never shown up, this is Ye Wei's current love life situation.

    The gossip media are anxious and talking about it. They are still recommending candidates for Ye Wei's new girlfriend, including Emma Watson and other single female stars of the same age.

    ¡ù¡ù

    Now sometimes when I want to read a joke, Ye Wei goes directly to the gossip media¡¯s nonsense, and laughs happily every time.  Lily felt that normal people would not announce their relationship to the media and the public. It was only as a public figure that she had to do this. She could delay it until necessary; but he really enjoyed it, it was so interesting, and he was in a good mood every day.

    When you are in a good mood, everything seems to go smoothly.  After arriving at the Hilton Garden Inn where the crew stayed in Springfield on the evening of the 13th, he immediately met Jennifer and Alicia in a small conference room in the hotel.

    After more than ten days of character experience, they all seemed to have gone through a lot of changes. During this period, under the supervision of bodyguard assistants, they lived in a remote mountainous area far away from the city. They chopped firewood and cooked meals by themselves, living a "Rui" and "Gai" life.  "You" life will continue until the day when filming starts.

    "Girls, why is the earth round?" Ye Wei asked with a smile as soon as he saw the two of them, and his follower, Master Jia, glanced at him.

    The two girls were startled, and when they were about to answer, he suddenly stopped: "Think about it!" Jennifer immediately understood, and replied in a cold and witty voice: "This is none of my business." Alicia also understood.  , and said with a smile in Gale's tone: "It's pregnant. It's different when it's pregnant."

    "Hahaha." Ye Wei laughed happily. They have this awareness and are always trying to figure out and imitate their respective roles. This is very good.

    They were all a little surprised by his enthusiasm. It was completely different from the office meeting not long ago. Alicia felt that she saw the familiar Ye Wei and couldn't help but be excited.

    "Let me see your current acting talents!" Ye Wei sat down on the fabric chair next to the small conference table, picked up a script on the table and flipped through it, then asked them to arrange a scene to go to Gale to borrow a car.  In the play, he made a gesture of invitation.

    Under the watchful eyes of him and Gia, Jennifer and Alicia started acting almost without reading the script. The long preparation made them proficient in every scene, and the on-the-spot experience played a big role in establishing their characters and scenes in all aspects.  help.

    The more Ye Wei watches their performances, the more he can¡¯t wait to start filming, it¡¯s great!  Compared with the talent show, they have made considerable progress. They are all actors playing roles. This is simplydon't compare with Lily's half-hearted performance.

    When the two finished the scene, he clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. He was sure that there was no need to change roles. Maybe there was no one more suitable than them.

    "Very good!" Ye Wei said with a smile to the two of them, "Keep it like this. There is still more than half a month left, you can still do better, don't set limits for yourself, better, better!" He said more seriously: "I  What I want is an actor who will say no to me, who is confident, strong, enthusiastic, and has his own ideas, but who is really capable, understand?¡±

    Receiving viy's praise and encouragement, the two girls couldn't hide their joy and nodded one after another: "I understand.", "I will do it."

    Gia knew better than them how important this was to them, and it was not unusual for her to suddenly change roles the day before filming started, especially since w'sb is an independent film solely owned by Ye Wei as producer and director, so all the power lies with her.  First of all, he has a non-union project. He can replace them whenever he wants. A group of substitute girls are waiting in line.

    "I don't want a yes-man." Ye Wei was dissatisfied with the two people's answers, or didn't like them, and frowned: "Liz Olsen disappoints me because she thinks actors are just tools for the director. She is trapped  I don¡¯t want you to do that. This movie belongs to the actors. Think about this carefully.¡±

    ??Jennifer???Alicica looked thoughtful, wondering if she really had an understanding.

    "How is Emma Roberts?" Jennifer asked suddenly.

    "Emma" Ye Wei grinned and rolled his eyes at her imitating Emma's trick: "Much better than you, because you are a zero."

    Knowing that this was a joke, Jennifer laughed, Alicia smiled, but Gia glared at him angrily: "Why are you scaring a little girl?" Ye Wei pursed his lips and smiled with dimples: "It's interesting." If Ai  Ma here must be so angry with both of them.

    In fact, Ye Wei felt a little guilty about Emma, ??but he didn't know how to make up for it, maybe by working together again.  Saoirse, Maudie, Liz, and these two people who were obviously not bad in front of him, he all wanted to work together again.  However, after shooting three girls' movies in a row, I haven't thought about whether I would be interested in shooting again in the short term.

    No matter what, let¡¯s finish filming ¡°Winter¡¯s Bone¡± first!

    ¡­¡­

    Starting from Thursday the 14th, Ye Wei led the crew to conduct on-site preparations.

    ? One of the major aspects is location scouting. This story has more exterior scenes than interior scenes, and the interior scenes are also shot directly on real scenes, so the workload is not heavy. After confirming the shooting location, it is just about the setting.

    On this day, Daniel Woodrell, the original author of the film, came to join the crew. As a local, he recommended many filming locations.  Of course the crew will take it into consideration, and as long as it's suitable for filming and the director is satisfied, it will be adopted.  Woodrell is not as fresh as Alice Sebold. When "Ride with the Devil" was put on the screen by Ang Lee, he already knew what it was like to make a movie.

    Sales of w¡¯sb since its launch on August 7 have been average, but it is not a bestseller. A very good response from book critics and book fans is enough.  Its fans are happy. Four months after the release of such a grim black feminist novel, a movie version was released. It is like "Harry Potter" and the actors look quite similar.

    The main body of the regular-sized crew was formed in Los Angeles, and each department recruited cheap and easy-to-use handymen locally.

    "The previous recruitment of feminist members also had good results, and Ye Wei especially admired a few of them.

    For example, 20-year-old production assistant Lena Dunham is a very talented New York girl. She is studying at Oberlin College and took a long vacation during the fall semester. This is a rare opportunity for her.  Dunham previously wrote and directed a 15-minute short film "Dealing" with $1,000. He originally wanted to participate in the Sundance Film Festival but failed, so he had to attend the Slamdance Film Festival in December at the end of the year.

    It was a film festival founded in 1995 by three directors who were rejected by Sundance. The time and location were similar to Sundance, and they specialized in accepting Sundance's unsuccessful works.  Later, in 1997, some people who were rejected by Schlendance organized the Schlendance Film Festival.

    "If you fail to win at Sundance, Slendance, and Sylundance let's have our own film festival, Slimdance (slimdance, slim, worthless).

    Another example is 24-year-old second assistant director Britt Marling, and her boyfriend, 27-year-old co-second assistant director Mike Cahill.  Both of them are proud independent filmmakers who are truly far away from Hollywood. They have jointly directed, screenwritten, photographed, and edited the documentary "The Boxer and the Ballerina" (budget 85,000), which was well received; last year, Ma Ling co-produced  filmed the documentary "Attention," while Cahill edited the documentary "Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man."

    Both of them wanted to further develop their careers while maintaining their independent spirit. The opportunity of w¡¯sb allowed them to see some possibilities.

    Ye Wei certainly knows what it is. With his current financial resources, connections and status in the independent film industry, he can invest and support others. It depends on whether they have the strength.

    The producers of "World of Slang" and W'sb are both Cliff Films. When he was a sole proprietor, he used it, and he also invested in Darum and their "A Dog's Christmas" (300,000 yuan for 45% of the shares).  This family comedy with a budget of RMB 650,000 started shooting in February and lasted for six weeks. It was completed in June and is currently negotiating sales with distributors such as Lionsgate and IFC.

    ??This kind of purely commercial film has no success in being shortlisted at Sundance and Slamdance. What is being fought for on the negotiation table is the buyout price and the possibility of theatrical distribution.

    Ye Wei has cared about it, but basically not at all.  There are too many of these movies. If they are released on DVDs and TVs, they will be fine, but if they are released on the screen, they will be bad movies.  But every filmmaker and dream chaser will not be willing to do this. Darum and the others are still working hard, and he understands and supports them.

    He can¡¯t make a decision as the second producer. As long as it¡¯s a buyout, at worst it won¡¯t make a loss.

    However, "Half Nelson", which bought out the North American rights for 1.5 million at Sundance, is different. It will be distributed by ifc and released on September 15. Although it has a guaranteed screening scale of 100 theaters, it will open in 3 theaters in the first week.  There were 11 other new independent films testing the waters that week.
