Chapter 549: Better
On Thursday morning on the 2nd, Ye Wei walked into W'sB's editing room in a happy mood and led the editing work with editor Suzanne Hines to start its editing work, which was their fourth time and third time this year. Hines was involved in the editing of the Girls' Trilogy throughout the process, and in an editing studio dominated by the director, the old acquaintance played a very good role.
The editing style of the film is completely different from SS, plain, cold, and minimalist form, and the same is true in terms of soundtrack, with little or no music as much as possible, so the work of the soundtrack artist McChel Danner, who is also the soundtrack artist for "Riding with the Devil", has very little work, and this is their first time working together. Springfield's backdrop and emotional story make the episode destined to feature country music female singer classics, such as Joan Baez's songs, which of course had to be within the budget.
When entering the work state, Ye Wei turned happiness into efficiency, and he was a little tired in the morning, and he was full of energy again after a few text messages with his girlfriend during the lunch break.
Yes, girlfriend! He had already remembered what the anniversary was, November 5th, which was Sunday of the week, and the TLB premiere took place on Saturday 4th.
Big things really happen one after the other. There is a clear clause in his contract that his private life has no relationship with the publicity release, so Paramount wants to fry the scandal between him and Liz, but he has always firmly denied that his relationship will be announced whenever he wants, and there is no problem with announcing it on the eve of the TLB release, which seems to be cooperating with the publicity.
Ye Wei talked to Leslie and the TLB publicity team first, and the propaganda party wanted to know who it was, so he asked them to wait for the news report, and if they were interested, stop the scandal hype.
Although he decided not to be so busy next year, he is still moving at high speed on the busy train.
On the evening of the 2nd, Ye Wei took lawyer Salton to attend a production meeting of "Juno" about his investment at an unconventional time, and he could hold this meeting in the middle of the night. In fact, he is not the first producer, so he doesn't want to join the actual work of production, and Reitman obviously doesn't want to, because if he wants to be the top three producers, it means that the current team structure will have to change significantly.
He just needs to be a co-producer who doesn't contribute money, but this investment is because of his girlfriend's jealousy and Nina's refusal to act, so he suddenly doesn't care much. Told producers like Manson Novik, Leanne Halphon, Jim Miller during the meeting: "I have a compulsion to numbers, either make me cast 3.5 million or I won't vote a penny." ”
The arrogance of the man with gold is humorous, and the producers will feel offended? It's funny, he's going to give them money!
They were like a stray dog, he stood there with a piece of biscuit, "You either come here, this biscuit is all for you, don't think I'll crush it for you a little bit." The stray dog came cautiously, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and ate the biscuit.
Novik, Reitman and others unanimously accepted a $3.5 million investment from Cliff Films, with Juno's budget set at $10 million. With that money, it can shoot in Minneapolis for 8 weeks, but still have to be saved.
Ye Wei signed the contract almost on the spot, but he didn't want to be wronged, now he has some money but not to the point of throwing money at it, this is a high-risk film investment. The power given to him by the 35% stake is that he is one of the few people who will decide how "Juno" will be released in the future, and Reitman can't, he can. How it will be released is not something that can be known now, you have to see the finished film and then discuss it, and no one knows until the movie is made. It's a fun industry that Star Wars despises!
He really doesn't have much production work, and as a co-producer and VIY, he has some say in the selection of actors, and the project also needs his influence.
He had already recommended Liz, Jennifer, and Emma to compete for "Juno", and emailed them the script, personal character insights, and different suggestions for each person, and they didn't follow the manager, and his girlfriend didn't like it, and he knew that he couldn't be like that and wasn't interested in that.
And in terms of "Leah", since Nina didn't act, he gave Liz this guaranteed opportunity...... Just because it is suitable, the premise is that it is not Jennifer who plays Juno, and the 168cm Liz is not suitable for her, and the two must be tall and short. If Liz can play Juno, he will recommend others to audition for Leah.
Amber?Of course not, 170cm is not suitable. Ye Wei had a phone call with Amber that day, and he called and told her that he would no longer fund her, and the $150,000 that funded her ended like this, and he didn't have to pay it back, and he would delete her from the address book and didn't want to have any more contact.
It is precisely to draw a line with something, like baptism.
Amber also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, gladly accepting and blessing him. She's so open-minded, it's not that she changed her temperament, it's that she changed her luck, "Boys Love Mandy Lane" sold at last month's Austin Film Festival, and the quality of this B-grade horror film with a production fee of 750,000 seems to be good, and Lionsgate bought it.
He really had nothing to do with it, and he never told Lionsgate or anyone that "Amber's movie is awesome, you have to buy it, you don't have to buy it", but because Amber was still dating when she joined the film, and because he spent some money for her to change her look, she was considered his darling, and her decision to join the film was considered his, and then ......
In any case, he didn't ask after this incident, Lionsgate bought it to make money, the film will definitely be released on DVD, and if it sells well, it may also get the opportunity to test it in several North American theaters a week.
Amber's small achievements in the film field, her sexy skills, and improved acting skills have won her a competition for a major role in the CW's new series "Palm Springs Secrets", which is about to start filming and air next year. So her career has suddenly risen, although she is still far from any star, she has a visible future.
Now Amber is afraid that he will trouble her and ruin her long-fought career as a film and television star.
Ye Wei didn't mean that, and she wouldn't help her anymore, the day before she came out, it depended on her own ability. As for those grievances, he is no longer afraid of the threat of publishing nude photos, because he has a different mentality, a different confidence, and that will not ruin love, fear and avoidance.
In fact, he also sponsors a group of young girls, all of them in small amounts, and depending on the performance and situation, something like a scholarship. He thought about stopping, but it seemed that some of the Dream Catchers really needed help, and now the famous Theresa had been helped, Mody had been helped, and Margot had ......
Theresa wasn't, Mody wasn't, but Margot was a demon for him, a shame. He had already seen Margot as a student and would continue to help her, but it was time to face his demons. Usually there was no contact, but on this day he called Margot and apologized to her sincerely.
Margot wondered, and could not understand why he felt that he was wrong, and even despicable, and that it was a beautiful and precious memory for her.
"Neither Oliver nor Ye Wei would do that, that's why. He said.
Margot seems to understand but doesn't understand. She will understand later, when she really loves a boy.
Ye Wei doesn't want to have this kind of self-betrayal anymore, he wants to clean up these shames one by one, and he wants to be a boyfriend with a better attitude.
He told his girlfriend all this, not for anything, but to let her know how crazy he was for her, and he was happy when she was happy, and her praise was the greatest cure.
There is a shame buried in his heart for more than ten years, and if he can really go back to the past, he may beat himself up on the spot. The only intentional school bullying he had ever told Nina had ever been. Maybe he was a jerk since he was a kid, but he decided to challenge the old demon to talk about Carrie in the form of a YouTube talk video, talk about school bullying, and publicly call the old friend to apologize.
Some things can't just stop at the change of attitude, but also use action, and only with action can we achieve: I am really better.
She's not a fool.
