"Winter's Bone" is a movie without a leading actor. "Uncle Tear" was the number one supporting actor. At that time, many actors were interested in starring and auditioned. In the end, John Harkes defeated Robert Downey Jr. and others to win the role. .
?? 47-year-old John Harkes is not a star, he is an actor who has been struggling for many years, and this is already one of the biggest roles he has ever played. In the 1988 romantic comedy "Johnny", Downey played the second male lead, while Harks was just a sidekick "Pizza Boy" without a name. Now everyone really has a chance to succeed.
It¡¯s not that Ye Wei doesn¡¯t like Downey¡¯s performance. Tears is also a type of role that he is good at, but Hax is more suitable. He is not a big name who needs attention. Huskers' calm performance didn't make him regret this choice, and he looked perfect.
After returning from Los Angeles, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the filming of w¡¯sb without asking about external affairs. He was busy from early morning to night every day, and he only had one day off during the week to cooperate with the promotion of tlb.
During this period, w¡¯sb officially surpassed tet and became the most difficult movie for him to shoot. It took a lot of mental and physical energy, and he almost fell into the river while filming the sawing scene. Moreover, he became even more nervous about how to torture Jennifer. People's hearts are made of flesh. He would not feel comfortable even if he scolded her and hit her.
Jennifer was equally exhausted physically and mentally. Just putting on makeup for three hours before the show every day was enough for her. From the scene where Rui was beaten to the end of the script, the story lasted only a few days, so her makeup changed very little. Her face was purple and swollen, and her nose and mouth were slightly tidied up, but she still looked like a bird.
The actor spent a lot of time waiting on the set. Once he saw her sitting on the actor's chair and seemed to be asleep. He walked over and punched her face repeatedly, but she didn't react and slept as if she was dead. He yelled and woke her up. She screamed and jumped in fear and fell to the ground, looking down at him.
At that moment, her eyes seemed to say: "Why are you doing this to me?"
From that moment on, he couldn¡¯t bear it.
This depressing atmosphere has enveloped the crew, and the work rhythm of six days a week and overtime every day is really tiring. Everyone is looking forward to the final day, but it will eventually arrive on Tuesday the 31st. The main reason was that the weather forecast was going to be cloudy that day, which was the best day at the end of the month to shoot the finale scene.
It won¡¯t be finalized until the afternoon of the 31st. Even if we catch the evening flight back to Los Angeles and settle down at home, it will already be November 1st, and we can¡¯t make it in time for Halloween.
Ye Wei decided to stay in Springfield and spend Halloween with the crew before going back together. Of course, many people, including the actors, would go their separate ways. Alicia went back to Sweden, and Jennifer also went back to Los Angeles, because their family had moved to Los Angeles for the development of her acting career.
He knew that Lily had been looking forward to their first courtship Halloween, and when he told her the latest news, she sounded quite pity: "There's nothing we can do about the weather, so let's leave it to next year. Now I really miss London." "I miss you," he said. "Don't say that word," Lily shushed. "Okay, Miss Collins."
They don¡¯t think ¡°stay until next year¡± is anything like a promise. If they look forward to ten years from now and say a few more words, they will definitely still be together next year.
Halloween is not a big day. Ye Wei thinks that he would rather play in Springfield. If he goes on a date in Los Angeles, he cannot appear in public. It is inconvenient to go anywhere. If the two of them hide and play, it will be no different than usual. .
The crew has been working hard for a month, and everyone deserves a happy Halloween party.
When the time comes, he will dress up as a squirrel, shout loudly, laugh loudly, and ignite the audience with his squirrel dance.

Paramount's revenue this year is only average. The current best-performing animated film "Over the Fence" (5-19) only has a North American box office of 155 million. Among the films that have not yet been released, the only one with the potential to exceed 100 million is next week's " "Mouse Country", tlb next week, and "Charlotte's Web" in the Christmas season.
The expectations placed on tlb are greater, and the investment in promotion and distribution is also large. The opening will reach 3,205 theaters, which is the level of the previous commercial comedy "Lai Jia Wang Lao Wu" (3-10, North America 088 million). This is definitely the confidence that TLB gave Paramount in its research on test screenings. It is very bad or very uncertain that there may only be about 2,500 openings, which makes movie fans even more excited.
There are already rumors on the Internet, some viewers/propagandaists who are "fortunate to have a sneak peek but cannot spoil it", that this is "the most tear-jerking movie of the year" and "it will leave an unforgettable mark on every audience's heart." , "indescribably touching", "Ye Wei's best movie so far"
I don¡¯t know yet whether it is the best, but tlb is undoubtedly the highlight of Ye Wei¡¯s trilogy this year: an adaptation of a super best-seller, with the highest budget of 25 million, the biggest fanfare, released by a mainstream film company, and six of the ten future girls belong to tlb, and also A group of stars?Whacas and himself.
Ye Wei is one of the main promoters of the film, the other is Elizabeth Olsen.
Recently, there is a new situation in the scandal between the two. They were photographed entering and leaving a restaurant in Springfield, but there were also several people including Gia Coppola. It turned out that this was a dinner the two had together after taking a cover photo and interview for Parade magazine on Thursday, the 26th.
Everyone came to Springfield to accommodate Ye Wei, but "Grand View" is one of the most widely read Sunday weekly magazines in the United States, with 32 million sales and 54 million readers. "Entertainment Weekly" is good. Big stars from all walks of life in the United States will not appear in "Grand View". It is not an article or interview in it, but a cover interview.
In the past two years, Emma Roberts has appeared on 11 magazine covers including teen, teen, and teen-vogue, but has never appeared in "Grand View". Two young female stars, Scarlett Johansson (19 years old, 2003-12-7) and Amy Rossum (18 years old, 2004-10-19), have only one article in the same column "in-step-with" interviews, none of them are qualified to be on the cover. Natalie Portman only had a cover interview "Every little bit helps" when she was almost 10 years old (2004-11-28).
This is also the first time for Ye Wei to appear on the cover of "Grand View". There was an article on "The Brilliant 18th Year Old: Ye Wei" on his 18th birthday (2006-2-19). This time he was on the cover thanks to ss The momentum and the announcement of tlb.
An insider revealed to Yahoo Entertainment that it was originally just Ye Wei's cover. He didn't want to be on the cover because he was busy filming, and absurdly wanted to give the opportunity to Elizabeth Olsen. However, "Grand View" was not interested in little Olsen, as she was not qualified enough. Later, the managers of both parties proposed a plan for a double cover interview, which was agreed by all parties.
"Ye Wei's generosity is one thing. Little Olsen dares to be on the cover in a smug way. She is really brave. She is the sister of the Olsen sisters. If she is not good, people will criticize her for nepotism. Who will interview and write is particularly important. The famous journalist Jenny Wall gave everyone confidence that "the film genius and his heroine".
This issue of "Grand View" will be released on Sunday, October 29th. The cover photo has a sky blue background. Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen are standing left and right. They are wearing fashionable and beautiful clothes. She raised her arm and leaned on his shoulder. A pair of beautiful young people with youthful and sunny smiles on their faces.
Through the interview article, every magazine reader can see that the two have a perfect understanding, their words are full of personality and wit, and they are really good friends even if they are not in love.
In the spacious and bright living room, Lily looked at the "Grand View" in her hand and frowned slightly. She should be happy, but why was she so depressed.
¡¾Although both were born and raised in Los Angeles, 18-year-old Ye Wei and 17-year-old Elizabeth Olsen had very different childhoods. The same thing is their connection with movies.
"My dentist dad, who's a big fan of movies, named each of my teeth after his favorite actors. I used to bite people with 'Jack Nicholson', you can imagine that, but I also used 'Plum' Where's Lil Streep eating?" said the already globally famous film genius.
¡°I didn¡¯t know what movies were at that time, I thought they were just making home videos,¡± Olson said.
She is best known as the younger sister of the Olsen sisters. She has made guest appearances in many of their sisters' video movies since she was 4 years old. This long-forgotten little sister will star in the first movie "The Lovely Bones" Released on November 10, a girl who was unfortunately raped and murdered by an evil serial killer (Stanley Tucci) watches her death in heaven, her father (Keanu Reeves), mother (Rachel- Vichy), grandma (Susan Sarandon), boyfriend (Ye Wei) and others.
This fantasy family film adapted from the best-selling book written by Alice Sebold is another masterpiece of Ye Wei this year. He is also the producer, screenwriter and director. He said: "Liz is extremely talented, but at the beginning I thought she was the kind of spoiled daughter-in-law, but later I found out on the set that this guy is very easy to work with and very funny.¡±
Talented and funny are their biggest comments about each other. Olson said with a smile: "When it comes to being funny, I can't help but admire him. He is also very amazing in many aspects. I rarely admire a person, but I really admire him. I think he¡¯s a true independent filmmaker.¡±
Ye Wei also has a lot of opinions about her: "Liz's biggest problem is that she is too smart, she is too smart, and she is too smart to be lazy. The second problem is that she is too willful, she is like 'I I've thought about it seriously, I want to do this! 'In fact, she only has one second to think. Because she is smart, this one second of thinking can usually make her happy, but almost all the time, she is acting in a hurry. It¡¯s about sex. Some people think a lot, and some think little. She thinks too fast, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.¡±
"Okay," Olson said. She shrugged and continued, "I just think lifeIn this world, you can only control so much no matter what you do, so no matter what you can't control, you don't have to worry about it at all. "Ye Wei said: "It's like weight. "
Olson describes herself as anti-diet, steadfast in her commitment to her sister Mary's anorexia two years ago, saying: "If I can die and live without starving, then I'll die. "Ye Wei said: "It's a good philosophy of life." Although he joked about her eating ability again and again, he also said that he was firmly against dieting: "Our concept of life is distorted by superficial fashion standards. Be temperate, but you must not slim yourself into a cane just to pursue a model figure. That is neither beautiful nor healthy. "
¡°Ever since I was 7 years old, I¡¯ve been asked when do you grow up and what do you want to do when you grow up,¡± Olson said. An actress and model, she refused to enter the TV screen, went to Broadway to develop, and then set her sights on the big screen. She is still looking for her own place. She said: "I've thought about both and I've been in theater and film too. The difference is, theater has seasons, film is always happening and I go to independent films almost every week and that really excites me. "
"In fact, her favorite movie is not an independent movie, it is "Alien"." Ye Wei said. They both seem to have endless things to say about this 1990 thriller comedy, and their similar interests and hobbies have created their friendship. She said: "We often joke with each other about it." He said: "Except for this, if I am eating something, she will suddenly come out and try to snatch it away. All I can do is try to keep it." She said: "He takes it. That¡¯s the opposite.¡±
Unlike their friendship, in "The Lovely Bones" they play a pair of bitter first love lovers, and they will both share their first kiss on screen.
"I have to say Lizzie is really good. She's very easy to learn, which makes my job pretty easy. Except for a few times when she suddenly loses control and looks like her head is being eaten. Those times I just I can't help but think, 'Am I crazy? There's a chance that there won't be any more celebrities in her family.'" Ye Wei said. He liked to express his affection for Olsen through jokes, and he viewed her as one of the most successful actresses of the future after seeing her perform at a talent promotion meeting he held at the beginning of the year. He said: "Liz is an acting genius."
Olsen said: "His acting talent has been overlooked. You can say that he is an acting genius. It can really drive your performance. Maybe it's because he is more narcissistic than me. To act well in a movie, you must Narcissism, most of the time you are the only one nagging to the camera. The green screen scene is even crazier. Not only do you act alone, there is no scene, and you act like a lunatic in everything you do." Ye Wei said, "It's true. , once we don¡¯t put our whole heart into it, it will be completely out of control, and we will burst out laughing when we look at the monitor.¡±
"Imagination is also crucial. Sometimes we really can't think of his description. Fortunately, he will draw it for you, and it will look like it is real. I suggested to him, 'Don't talk about it in the future, just draw it.' He immediately drew a hamburger, and I said, 'You'd better tell me']
Without continuing to read, Lily closed the "Grand View" and put it on the sofa, got up and walked away.
After walking a few steps, she glanced back, turned back and turned the magazine over with the back facing up, covering the cover.
After taking a few more steps, she turned back again and turned the cover back up.
