March has come and gone, and this year¡¯s Oscars have gone away amid controversy. No matter what the fans think, it is a fact that Ye Wei did not win the award. He was gloated by the American media and criticized by the Chinese media. Whether he was a big name or not is not the key. His unbridled response made him "finally show his bad boy's feet." It hasn't been banned yet.
In the eyes of the outside world, the loser Ye Wei is living a happy life.
He really continued his life as a professional player. Not only did the Sun publish his training photos, he also made a self-portrait video on YouTube called "Into Carrington" and took pictures around Manchester United's training center. The court showed off some footwork. His post-apocalyptic zombie background novel All-Dead has been continuously updated, and he also released a set of self-drawn concept illustrations, making fans happy and grateful to the independent arbitration panel for making a wise decision!
His website Spotpass has also made breakthrough progress. The crowdfunding of "Bullying Night" with US$500,000 was approved in less than a month.
This caused some media reports, but the main creator of the project, Santiago Youngblood, did not give an interview or make any appearance. His so-called popular luring tube videos were just a few London scenery videos. Due to the lack of publicity, there is no attention. Except for traces in databases such as "The Hollywood Reporter" and imdb, this project does not seem to exist. It is just an ordinary member of thousands of low-cost projects.
At the same time, Youngblood's other R-rated horror film project "There is No Such Thing as a Vampire" with a crowdfunding goal of US$1 million was quietly launched.

For damn San Diego, Gia has been so busy lately that there is black smoke above her head. This guy is determined to be the boss this time. He has also given a fatal order to start shooting on the night of Friday the 9th. The plan is to shoot for seven days in a row, except for two weekends. The whole day was spent shooting, and the remaining five days were spent working in the evening and into the night. After shooting, he happened to return to Los Angeles to celebrate Lily's birthday.
At the age of 20, she became a producer and assistant director for the first time. Although she grew up on the set and followed him for several years, she couldn't do it by herself.
Her main helpers are Lena Dunham, who previously performed well in Winter Bone, and Carlo Disi, a 35-year-old Italian producer active in the UK. He is involved in the production of some TV movies and DVD movies, but The success lies in his proficiency in British production and financial laws.
The three of them and Santiago formed a production team, and then assembled a basic-sized crew. Everything must be kept confidential, and the personnel must be cheap and easy to use. Santiago has appointed a photographer and art director. The former is Ali Asa, a 45-year-old Syrian photographer active in the UK. The "Very Violent" he shot last year caught the eye of the public. Asa will become the first person in history to use red- One was the cinematographer who shot the movie; the latter was Julie Berghoff, the old man from Tet and Winter Bone, who headed the art department.
There are still many old friends in the crew, but most of them are recruited in the UK. Fortunately, this is a small project, with a single on-site scene, ordinary costumes and props, and there is not much preparatory work. It is just that all departments have to move forward quickly, and everything is so busy that it makes my stomach hurt.
Santiago was confident that he would only shoot for one week for a reason. The script was simple enough.
It is a typical haunted house story. There is a house (a limited space) and monsters. The characters encounter dangers caused by monsters in the house and either defeat the monsters or die. Most horror thrillers are like this, including "Jaws," "Alien," "Saw," "Red Lotus," and "The Exorcism Video."
It's not a novelty. It's just a group of young men and women who are influential figures and bullies in a school. They have a party in a remote and abandoned farm warehouse in the town. The heroine played by Brie Larson is the only one in the audience. The bully, she was the nerd played by the prom queen, for whom she sent invitations but was not invited and was laughed at. According to Santiago it is based on Jennifer's real experience. The difference is that this is a double play. At night, when Bree was so sad at home that she cut her fingers and cut her wrists to commit suicide, she received a call from the prom queen, saying that it was just a joke and asking her to go to the party. Bree went anyway, nervous but happy to be able to attend their party.
This is a quick first scene. Just as Bree arrives at the lively warehouse, the party has just begun, and the prom queen and others are about to play tricks on her. The hero played by Nicholas Hoult breaks into the warehouse. He is the school's favorite. The bully, who was not invited, had a gun in both hands and shot the prom queen in the head as soon as he entered. People screamed in fear, but no one was around to hear it. There was only one door to the warehouse, which was guarded by Holt. He asked everyone to quiet down and killed whoever made more noise. Sure enough, he killed another girl who was still crying. .
After that, the second act is how he slowly, cruelly and evilly tortures, judges, tortures, and kills the bullies in the warehouse. Bree, who is in a desperate situation, will die at any time.
It is interesting because the monster is the hero (or is it the villain?); the heroine is the one who wants to live, escape the house or kill the monster; the villains also want to live, hateful, sad and pitiful. This confusion in settings creates tension. Which side does the audience empathize with? The hero's elusiveness creates suspense. Is Holt the bullied or the bully? Will Bree survive? How will this night of bullying end?
There are large gaps in the script, and many details of the warehouse scene will be improvised, regarding what the male protagonist does and says, and how other people react. Gia thinks there are already some interesting things in it that are thought-provoking? Shocking? Just look at screenwriter and director Santiago. "Twelve Angry Men" is also a classic among classics.
There was a simplified version of the script, no storyboards, not even the names of the characters. He said, "You'll know it after filming," within a week! This project seems like a game for him after playing football and having tea and dinner, or does he want to try red-one? She didn't know, but she knew she couldn't underestimate him. Any story this man had could be made into a good movie.
¡°In addition to the director and the actor, the heroine will be the main representative of the audience. If she cannot tie the audience to the chair with tension, concern, and emotional ups and downs, then both she and the film will fail. Another important point is of course the male protagonist. He must be both good and evil, and be evil and charming, so that the audience will be attracted to him and not want to leave. In the director's explanation, Santiago said that for example, "Joker" Jack Nicholson in 1989's "Batman" and Li Guohao in 1994's "The Crow", they were both wanton and crazy, without any hesitation.
???????????????????????Brie Larson and Nicholas Hoult?
Gia is not sure, probably, there is no talented director here! She also participated in the casting work, but every young actor and actress in the warehouse was ultimately decided by the director. He hired some unknown newcomers. Among the girls were several deceived girls he had sponsored, and there was no Modi. , there is no future girl.
??You have to sign a confidentiality agreement to join this project, so every actor will be shocked when they join. Santiago is Ye Wei!
In the near future, there will definitely be many girls who will be so angry that they shout: "What!? Who is Brie Larson? How did she become his new favorite?"
At sunset at 6pm on Friday the 9th, in an old farm warehouse with red brick walls south of the town of Carrington in Manchester, "Bullying Night" is about to start.
