    "You give me 'Gail' and I'll give you those. ¨b¨n©Â¨n¨n."

    Amber seemed to be risking her life, with a look of madness in her eyes, and her body was trembling a little due to excitement or nervousness. It was very strange to be in the wilderness on the roadside at night.

    Are you kidding, of course not!  Ye Wei took a deep breath. It must be Alicia. There is no other candidate. She is so hardworking and outstanding. You really can't compare to Amber.  Butwhat should I do with those photos? Lily must not see themnot now

    A slightly choked voice said, "Just don't destroy these anymore." My heart became more and more confused. The past was over. The remaining troubles I had were not hers. She shouldn't be allowed to confront their love. No, absolutely not.

    A clear fear came up, the fear of losing her again.

    But it is impossible to give Amber the role, she is unwilling, and the consequences will be equally disastrous.

    Ye Wei shook his head suddenly, calm down!  It's not that bad, I can handle it

    "Brother Wei, I just want a chance." Seeing his hesitation, Amber said again with a fanatical voice: "I'm not worse than others, I just never have a good opportunity, can you give it to me!"

    "Wait a minute." Ye Wei turned around and walked towards the road, feeling that he was trapped in a thought whirlpool, and he could just get out of it.  The point is don't think about Lily!  Don't let your feelings for her interfere with a simple solution.

    Amber followed closely: "Don't think about just leaving me here." He raised his hand and said: "No, I'm going to drink some water! I'm a little thirsty, okay." He strode straight to the car and folded his hands.  Gia, who had breasts, asked: "How's it going?"

    Gia couldn't hear what the two talked about, and the yelled words became distorted in the wind, but she could see that the two of them didn't do anything. Because Ye Wei kept dodging, they didn't have any physical contact; she could also guess that they didn't do anything.  The situation is not good, you can tell by looking at viy's suppressed anger.

    "Giya, slap me." Ye Wei pointed to the right side of his face, "Harder."

    "Ah?" Gia was stunned, and Ye Wei urged: "Just fight! Don't ask why, don't say you can't do it." Gia hesitated: "I love peace." Ye Wei ordered: "This is  I want your assistant job now!" Jia suddenly moved like a machine and slapped her with her left hand.

    There was an afterimage in the palm of his hand, and in the flash of lightning, Ye Wei felt that he had captured the complete calmness of that moment.

    Don't think about that girl. Without her, Amber could use his family as a threat, or she could use him directly. "Ye Wei, you don't want to make a fool of yourself. Either you make a fool of yourself, or give me a role." Think of it this way,  Things are too simple.

    What are Amber¡¯s thoughts?  She would not be willing to be a reality show star. This guy was just stimulated by something to give himself the confidence to go crazy.  As much as she wants to be a screen star, she is easily defeated.

    Amber, what were you doing when you were 15 years and 9 months old?  Eating forbidden fruit in a Texas farm warehouse with your ex?

    ¡°As for me, I made a liar producer cry, did crowdfunding in school to buy a movie script, lobbied Bruce Willis to give me a chance, and it was successful, earning almost 150,000.  Since I became a "big shot", I haven't used my tongue for a long time. Let's have a taste of your pudding.

    Just when Giya's palm slapped her, Ye Wei suddenly turned sideways to avoid it, confused.

    "What are you doing!?" Gia slapped her in the face, a little surprised and dissatisfied.

    I saw him showing a wicked smile, and said in the voice of Darth Vader: "I am your father."

    Gia¡¯s expression changed slightly, ¡°Please.¡±

    "Oh, I'm sorry!" Ye Wei suddenly remembered that Gia's father died unexpectedly before she was born, and apologized sincerely: "Gia, I'm sorry! You know I didn't mean any harm, I was just making a Star Wars-style joke.  "

    Gia shrugged and said she didn't mind according to Master Yoda's words: "Fear is the road to darkness, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, and hatred causes pain." She looked at Amber in the distance and said, "Ann  Najin, so first, don¡¯t be afraid.¡±

    "Thank you, Master, and may the Force be with you." Ye Wei strode towards Amber, "I want to reason with her."

    Amber looked at Ye Wei approaching from a distance. Under the blowing cold wind, she woke up a little, but became even more resentful. Wouldn't it be better if she gave me "Clarissa" who starred in viy  Movies and becoming a big star.  To him it was just a nod, but to her it was a dream come true.

    But within a few minutes, she strangely saw that Ye Wei seemed different. He had a gentle smile on his face, which made her even more unpredictable about his thoughts.

    ¡°Hey, Amber.w£Ûww.  "Ye Wei said hello and looked around at the night countryside. The night wind was blowing the autumn grass. He asked with a smile: "Have you seen Ang Lee's "Ride with the Devil"?  It was filmed in Suzhou, Mili.  Amber was stunned for a moment before replying: "No."  "

    He looked at her and introduced: "It was a good movie about the Civil War, but it only received barely passable reviews. Many critics and audiences said it was a bad movie." He thought about it, "Roger -  Ebert's comments are representative, and Roger said that the film is stimulating for exploring historical truth, but for ordinary viewers, it is slow-paced and intimidating. "What do you mean?"

    Amber was very surprised, why are you saying this?

    Ye Wei answered the question with a smile and said: "It means that ordinary audiences cannot appreciate this two-and-a-half-hour literary war film, but "Gone with the Wind" is nearly four hours. They are different. "Ride with the Devil" is very  Politically incorrect.

    History is written by the victors.  Almost all Civil War movies talk about how stubborn, conservative and backward the southerners are, and how the black slaves are looking forward to, shouting and working hard to be liberated; and how the northerners are just, advanced, free and great. This is a war about human rights.  Southerners fought to protect their country or their interests and way of life.  "Gone with the Wind" from the perspective of southerners cannot escape this category. It talks about the changes of the times, the collision of old and new civilizations, and the attachment, nostalgia and protection of the old civilization by southerners.

    But what¡¯s the truth?  "

    "I don't know" Amber didn't understand what Ye Wei wanted to say, "I don't care either."

    "The truth is that not only Yankees can see it. At that time, many southerners also saw that a new era without slaves was coming inexorably. They were not all arrogant fools, nor were they all cruel and cold-blooded villains. The truth is that many people at that time also saw that a new era without slaves was coming inexorably.  The black slaves fought for the South willingly and more fiercely than the slave owners. They were also confused, but they did not want to lose. To a certain extent, it can be said that they did not want to change. There is another truth. It was not a war about human rights.  Neither Lincoln nor the Yankees were so kind. Do you know that black people in the North generally live worse than black people in the South? Like all wars in the United States, the rhetoric of justice is just a nice appearance, but it is actually all about profit. "

    Ye Wei spoke enthusiastically, but Amber became more and more confused as she listened: "Brother Wei, I don't care about politics"

    He continued: "Why don't the big shots in the South and the black slaves in the South change when they see the unstoppable trend of the times? This is a very complex and entangled human nature. "Ride with the Devil" from the original book to the movie  , that is to say, these things are a very embarrassing and contradictory group psychology.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the way, we know that we will win this war and we aredefinitely losing this war, but we still have to fight this war. Why?  Because I am unwilling to do so.  Why not give in?  have no idea.  In the end, the Civil War was fought just for the sake of fighting, and neither side had any reason to argue.  Of course, in the end, the Confederacy lost, the war was over, and all the black slaves were rescued. Is that okay?  Martin Luther King said no.  At that time, many black people still considered themselves slaves and hated Yankees. You can see this in "Gone with the Wind".  Why?

    First, because the northerners are just another group of bastards; second, their own psychological shackles are still there, and their hearts have not been liberated. Their concepts are just like that.  "

    Ye Wei looked at the confused Amber and said with a smile: "No American dares to film the Civil War like this or tell these truths. This is terrible, right? We are taught 'correct history' from elementary school. The whole country  That there is no such thing, and that Southerners are forward-looking and kind? Is Lincoln not that great? A large number of black slaves do not want to be emancipated?

    Everyone will call you nonsense!

    But Ang Lee!  This foreign old boy, he dared to take pictures, he dared to get into trouble, and tell Americans, ¡®Hey, everyone, this is the truth.  ¡¯¡±

    "Then what?" Ye Wei's voice gradually became louder, rising and falling like a drum: "'Ride with the Devil', this masterpiece that Ang Lee worked so hard to produce, this literary war film with a gentle rhythm but shocking thoughts,  This good movie, I remember, had a budget of nearly 40 million, and the box office was less than 1 million, but more than 60 million.

    This is what Ebert said, "Ordinary audiences will be intimidated by it." This is what ordinary audiences do, they don't like to watch it, and they scold it and say it is a bad movie.  Ang Lee almost ruined everything for this movie and went back to Asia to make a Chinese-language film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."  "

    "I don't care, Brother Wei" Amber's thoughts were in a mess, "I don't want to have a history class, don't change the subject, I want to play 'Gale'!"

    "No, no, no, this has a direct relationship with you." Ye Wei smiled at her and half-raised his hands, "Because "Ride with the Devil" and "Winter's Bone" are both books written by Daniel Woodrell.  , his works have a mainHis characteristic is that he dares to say things that the mainstream doesn¡¯t want to hear.  You want to play ¡®Gayle¡¯, you¡¯ve read the book, right?  "

    Amber nodded, "I've read it several times."

    "But I dare say you didn't understand it, and you didn't know what kind of movie I was going to make, so you thought 'Gail' would make you a star."

    Ye Wei looked directly into Amber's blank eyes and raised his right index finger, "Let me tell you, 'sb has three main propositions: the awakening of women's rights, the balance between women's rights and men's rights, and the fragility of women's rights in today's reality. ¨e  ¨e©Â.¡²¡¶£®

    ¡°You know, if you want to please people, then you should only focus on the first theme, the awakening of women¡¯s rights.  Simplify the characters and stories, make "Rui" tough and cool, and shoot it in a way that critics and ordinary audiences like to watch and have the ability to appreciate and understand. To please women's rights, as long as the film is tough and cool.  Just be cool all the way to feminism.  "

    He frowned and said thoughtfully: "Let me give you an example, where Rui was beaten. In the original book, Rui was beaten by those women until she became incontinent and almost died. She pitifully begged those people to let them go.  She, save her family. This is the fragility of feminism in reality. Rui is very strong, but if you are beaten to death by a bunch of women who have succumbed to male dominance, all feminism is useless.

    But is it necessary to make a movie like this?  That¡¯s too embarrassing, and makes it harder for ordinary viewers to understand, ¡®Director!  Isn¡¯t this the story of a feminist awakening?  Why is Rui so embarrassed?  What a pitiful little person!  Where is the momentum of "Thelma and Louise"?  ¡¯¡±

    "I'll tell you how to shoot if you want to please women's rights." Ye Wei paused, then bent his right arm like Popeye: "Just make Rui completely masculine and powerful. No incontinence, no pleading, she wants to  Like the last two cowboys in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" who were almost dead, they were still sitting there cool and calm, looking at the bad guys with contempt, and saying in a light tone, "Is there any more? Just use it all."  , I rushed to the Oscars. 'That would be so cool!'

    "Brother Wei" Amber didn't know what to say until "Oscar" made her heart skip a beat.

    Ye Wei laughed out loud and said again: "Is that really a girl? Is it really a person? No! It's just a fantasy product of politically correct feminism. To put it bluntly, it's a girl in name but a tough guy in reality.  product. What¡¯s the point?¡±

    "I don't ask for 'Rui', I just want to play 'Gail'." Amber suddenly became excited and felt that Ye Wei was confusing her.

    "Listen to me first." Ye Wei stopped her and said very seriously: "I want to film this story completely. I want to film the scene in the original work where Rui goes from bending over to kneeling down to standing up.  It is a process of getting up, rather than standing from beginning to end.

    Yes, Rui Hui was beaten until she became incontinent. She lay in her own excrement and begged those people to let her go. She was no better than a pig or a dog, just a tiny dot.  Do you know, this is tantamount to a slap in the face of feminism. Extreme feminists will definitely scold me, but I don¡¯t care. The film is still a feminist awakening, but it just talks more about the emperor¡¯s new clothes.

    A story like "Winter's Bone" will be such a movie.  Although I am confident that I can make it well enough for the critics to appreciate it, but the general audience?  He said and laughed, "My box office expectation for it is 500,000 in North America."  "

    5 million?  Amber was immediately stunned. The average North American box office of viy's movies was over 100 million. Why is this one only 500 million?

    Seeing her expression change, Ye Wei knew that she knew what that meant and said, "Amber, to be honest, even if you play the role of 'Gail', it is impossible for you to become a star. 'Gail'  'It's just a supporting role."

    Amber felt as if she had been stabbed in the flesh by a sharp needle, and said sharply: "I believe that with your talent, "Winter's Bone" can have its place in the awards season. No matter how much the box office is, it can make me be"  Industry knowledge, get more opportunities, you don¡¯t have to lie to me.¡±

    "You are right, but there is a premise." Ye Wei walked closer to her and stared at her, "The premise is that it is a good movie! The core of my talent is called professionalism, called ** spirit, and called filmmaker  "

    His eyes became sharper and his tone became heavier: "It can only be played by Alicia Vikander! No matter who threatens me, I will not change. Not you, not anyone. How do you think I can become a movie?"  Genius? Can you get a role from me? Is it an adult movie? What I want is not my sex skills, but my acting skills!

    Amber took a step back involuntarily and stared blankly at the tall man in front of her, Genius Viy It was the first time she heard what he just said.

      "How can you possibly understand!?" Ye Wei waved his hands excitedly, "I'm not looking down on you, I'm saying that you are not a creator. This is only possible if you devote yourself wholeheartedly to your own work and do every detail well.  Only the creators understand the mood. Did you know that for the last shot of "Ride with the Devil", Ang Lee and the others drove all the way from Missouri to western Kansas for a whole day.  Take a picture of the sunrise on the grassland.¡±

    He looked around, his hands changing from open palms to clenched fists: "Why can't we shoot in Missouri? There is a difference there, even if it seems very subtle, it is huge for the creator; that kind of completion of creation  The feeling after pursuit, that kind of satisfaction, joy, and wonderfulness, you can giggle for a whole day because of a single detail, how can you possibly understand it?

    We are not just making a movie, we are making a work of art!

    Now you want me to let you play ¡®Gail¡¯?  Even if you kill me, I won't agree to it!  "

    "Brother Wei" Amber didn't dare to look into his eyes, her heart beating so wildly that her mind went blank, "Then do you miss those photos"

    "Haha!" Ye Wei laughed, shook his head and said: "You are so interesting. Is it your first day in this industry? Let me tell you some practical constraints. I suddenly changed roles, and it was you, Ai  Merle Heard, what will the media say?

    If you can really do it, that's another thing, but we all know that your strength is not good enough, and you and I will both be scolded to death in the end. This will ruin the reputation of this movie and my professional reputation!  I am 18 years and 7 months old. What do you think I rely on to achieve my status today?  Because I'm handsome?  "

    He pointed in the direction of California to the west, and his voice gradually became more and more excited: "I have completed two movies this year, "Soul Surfer" and "The Lovely Bones", both of which were produced by different producers and distributors, but they  They all absolutely support me. My relationship with the studio is very relaxed, there are no constant meetings, I basically have the final say on the script, and I don¡¯t have any administrative pressure.¡±

    Amber couldn¡¯t say anything. She looked at Ye Wei walking and said with a smile:

    "After tlb was finished, Paramount gave me a lot of editing advice. Almost every senior executive sent me a long email. They said, 'It's over.'  , they said it should be cut this way or that. I didn't listen. I insisted on my version and refused to change a single shot. They couldn't do anything to me, because it was a ** movie, and it wasn't what they said.  They can give up, at least they won't invest that much.

    Usually they would do this, you **producers, just take it and get out; instead of being prepared to lose money like now, just give it to me.  Why?  "

    Ye Wei paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "Because the administrative pressure did not come to me, I called my producer Spielberg and said, 'Steven, believe me, this has already happened.  It's the best. ' Then Spielberg helped me relieve all the pressure, and everyone said, 'Oh, just shoot as you like, whatever you want' is the script, the shooting, and the editing.  It's the same, Paramount is the same, Lionsgate is the same.

    Why does Spielberg support me? Why do they want me to be happy even if they lose money? Let me tell you.  "

    He raised the fingers of his right hand and said, "First, I controlled the budget. It was as much as I said it would be at the beginning. If there was no increase, there would be no pressure. Part of it was paid for by myself. There was a lot of money waiting to be invested in me. This was a solid backing.  .

    Second, my ¡®loss limit¡¯ is still high and full.  Film studios have to establish relationships with directors and make plans for the future, so the industry has a three-strike rule. Even if I lose tens of millions of dollars in budget, any studio will tolerate me. These tens of millions make me happy to shoot.  I deserve it!  Everyone else will have it too.

    Third, the whole industry talks about me as a film genius who can direct, produce, write, and act. I can do anything. At the age of 18, they want me to shoot what they want to shoot, because it may be ""  Star Wars", "Jurassic Park", or "Forrest Gump", or "The Godfather", "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings" and the worst is "Wedding Day".  Whose idea do you think these were?  Those office animals?  These were the creator's ideas!

    ¡°Those things that I want to shoot and that I¡¯m happy to shoot are what the studio wants.  There must be success within three times, either this time or the next time.

    but!  "

    Ye Wei took a long breath, looked at Amber's dull and beautiful face, and continued: "This is all based on a premise, yes, professional reputation!

    Spielberg trusts me and they trust me because I will not mess up the movie and I have no bad record!  Maybe I'll make a bad movie, but it wasn¡¯t because of the woman I slept with or the woman who threatened me that I gave her the role. It wasn¡¯t that the filming was bad in this way, it was just that I really screwed up.

    Only through that kind of failure can I grow and future cooperation be valuable; random failure only shows that a filmmaker is no longer an excellent creator, has no sense of responsibility, no pursuit of his own work, and no talent.  , The aura is great, what else can we cooperate with in the future?  Fortunately I'm not.  "

    He laughed a few times, "So you understand? I won't give you 'Gail', I won't give you any role that you are not suitable for, that you are not capable of playing, so I can fuck Hollywood, and Hollywood is still begging  I¡¯ll fuck its asshole again, do you understand?¡±

    Amber's mood turned into ashes, and her threat was already very weak: "Those photos"

    "I love her, but I know what she wants me to do, just like this." Ye Wei's tone calmed down, and he stopped thinking about the flower, and began to gently and formally persuade Amber: "Girl, maybe one day we will  Cooperation, not this time. I know, I really know, it is very difficult for you. It is not easy for a beautiful woman with no power and money to get around anywhere. I understand you."

    "Then why did you" The feeling in Amber's heart was hard to describe. It wasn't often that he comforted her so gently.

    "I've told you the reason, you're not suitable." If he weren't afraid of anything else, Ye Wei would tap her shoulder and sigh: "If you want to be a movie star, you can't rush. Before your time comes,  Just wait patiently. And if you do something stupid, it will ruin all your possibilities. Maybe "Boys Love Mandy Lane" will be a good opportunity for you next year.  ? It¡¯s impossible to say.

    ¡°But if you become famous through scandal, it¡¯s all over. Are you willing to just be a reality star?  "

    Amber didn¡¯t say anything, her eyes were a little red, how could she be willing to

    "I will also become your enemy." Ye Wei sighed again and said sincerely: "I don't want that. We are friends, and we used to be good. You asked me to try my best to revenge you, what's the point of that?  ? Don¡¯t destroy yourself and us because of your impulse.¡±

    "Us?" Amber almost cried, "What are we? You let me get used to another life, then kicked me back and asked me to be a car model? Us?"

    Ye Wei suddenly understood everything. She suddenly went crazy because of financial problems. This would be easier to handle.  Thinking about Amber's advantages, his words were naturally very sincere: "Car model? Of course not, unless it is an advertising endorsement! I train you and teach you not to become a car model, I want you to charm the whole world.  man."

    "I want it too." Amber choked, "That's what I want."

    "I can't hug you, just in case." Ye Weizhan hugged the air and said more tenderly: "But seeing you like this makes me very heartbroken. Well, I have an idea. Those photos and videos of yours,  I bought it for $500,000, which is enough money for you to continue your career, buy some clothes, find a good place to live, and enroll in a few acting classes."

    "I don't want money" Amber hurriedly wanted to say something, "I want an opportunity!"

    Ye Wei said seriously: "You need that money. Being a star is expensive, I know. Then just think of it as my investment in you, and pay it back to me when you are rich in the future, okay?" He raised his hand to stop her from speaking.  , and said: "Amber, if there is any opportunity that I can give you, I will give it to you. You can still create opportunities yourself. You are only 20 years old, still in your prime, and your sex appeal has not yet reached its peak.  arrive."

    Amber opened her eyes wide and ignited a bright light.

    "Although Monroe has long been famous in magazines, she is also famous on the screen." Ye Wei thought for a while, "She was also around 25 and 30 years old, and she really became a sexy goddess after taking two steps up. Angelina Zhu  Li was not a big deal when she was 20 years old. But women like you get hotter as they mature, until they reach their peak."

    He looked at her for a few times and said with a smile: "You are just a sexy teenager, not a sexy woman, and you are cutting off your own path? How stupid is that?"

    Being blown by the cold wind, Amber suddenly woke up, yes

    "There is no war between us." Ye Wei saw her change and breathed a sigh of relief, comforting: "So don't get hung up on meaningless stubbornness. You also know that I am not a person who will not be crazy.  I often wonder whether those who are never crazy are happy or miserable. I understand that you are crazy this time, and I still appreciate it a little bit!"

    He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "At least you have the courage to challenge me and try to control me. This is a huge improvement. But it's not enough yet. You should continue to listen to me this time. How about it?"

    Amber looked at Ye Wei, he had already?To put it bluntly, "Gail" can't be given to her, and she still has a bright future.  After a silent stalemate for a while, she suddenly nodded and said with tears: "Brother Wei, I'm so sorryI really went crazy tonightI think it's because I miss you so much."

    "It's nothing." Ye Wei didn't pay attention to her plea and excuse, as long as she didn't cause trouble, he said, "Rather than taking revenge, I like to forgive others now." He shouted towards the road: "Giya, come here!"  Then he said to her: "Go back to the hotel where you are staying, take a hot bath, and have a good sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, full of opportunities and possibilities."

    "Thank you, thank you, actually" Amber knew that she should show some sincerity to calm her uneasiness: "Actually, there is no sex tape, just some bed photos. I won't leak it. I'll do it when I get back.  Delete them all.¡±

    "Okay." Ye Wei smiled and breathed a sigh of relief again, good job, I was really scared by you before.

    "What's wrong?" Gia asked as she approached.

    "Amber needs a hug." Ye Wei said.  Gia's stunned look seemed to be saying, "Did the assistant do this too?" Ye Wei glared and urged: "Be nice!" Gia had no choice but to hug the crying Amber, who hugged her rudely.  She, Gia feels a little weird

    She looked at Ye Wei, who was walking back to the car first, and was convinced. He was such a playboy.

    Looking up at the night sky, Ye Wei seemed to hear the sound of an alarm bell. This time it was good luck. What if there was a next time?  Temptation, darkness and danger are always there and must be overcome again and again, and he has the confidence to overcome them.  Just this thing

    What should I tell Lily?  Do you want to say it?  How much?  Why are you so clueless when facing her?  Love really makes no sense
