From regaining Ye Wei's trust and learning that Tom Hanks decided to invest in Ye Wei, lawyer Salton was like living in a dream, and from time to time he was in a surging mood and even laughed.

On Tuesday the 3rd, Mr. Salton wore a brand new black suit, shiny leather shoes, a red and black striped tie, a brown briefcase, and was filled with the air of a successful person.

And Ye Wei, who quickly got into the car, was a young and vigorous high school student wearing a red jersey jacket, jeans and sneakers, and a pair of sunglasses.

The bizarre duo arrived at the Preton headquarters on Fifth Avenue in Santa Monica, and both of them walked in in high spirits and strode side by side.

Although Preton was much more successful than Cheyenne Enterprises, its headquarters was much smaller, a two-story office building with a toy and gift shop called the Acorn Store, and the company did not have as many office staff, and the decoration could almost be called rudimentary.

The production conference room is no exception, with a small rectangular conference table in the middle and eight chairs around it that are cheap and non-rotating.

Even the televisions used to play video materials are just old-fashioned big guys, but the screen size is not large, which makes people wonder if it can be turned on, or if it is broadcast, suddenly there is a snowflake with a chirping noise.

However, it is here that the negotiation system has come out with "My Grand Greek Marriage", which is this low-key company, creating good results one after another!

Although there are no movie posters on the surrounding walls, the professional atmosphere can be smelled everywhere, Ye Wei respects here, more than the luxurious conference room of Cheyenne Enterprise.

Today's line-up for Preton includes Tom Hanks and partner Gary Gonzman, while Hanks' agent Brian Sberley and publicist Leslie Dart will join the meeting by phone when needed.

The two are also big names in the industry, one is an ace agent and senior executive of CAA, and the other is the founder and chairman of the famous PR agency "Dart Team", Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep are her clients!

This lineup is very strong, but compared to the strict sù of Willis's team at the time, the atmosphere in the conference room at this time is relaxed and natural.

"But, I have to say again, well done! Steven really admires you, saying that in you, I see my past. ”

As soon as he sat down in the chair, Hanks praised Ye Wei, who was sitting opposite, and said happy on his honest middle-aged face.

"I'm grateful that Mr. Spielberg is a true forerunner and there's nothing he can't believe, including me. ”

Ye Wei was already talking and laughing calmly, and the lawyer Salton next to him was still reminiscing about the handshake just now, sitting here, just like sitting next to John Lennon and Forrest Gump, it was really amazing, even so, he still calmed himself down, and fought for the best interests of Wei, a gold medal lawyer!

"Tom, Gary, I have a budget plan. After greetings, looking at the two of them, Ye Wei began to speak seriously: "My production budget target for "Little Sunshine Beauty" is 5oo yuan, shooting with numbers, Pretong 3oo yuan, Dream Chasing Alliance including the script 1oo yuan, and the remaining 1oo yuan, I want to find DreamWorks investment, it should be possible, right?"

"That's a good idea. Hanks was more than happy about it, "Steven would be interested, he would like to have it invested by his owner." ”

Gary Gozman nodded: "If DreamWorks participates in the investment, it will be easier to do it, DreamWorks can do it, and it can be handed over to Paramount and other manufacturers." ”

In fact, he has always felt that there is no need to make this high-risk investment, if he succeeds, he seems to get very little, and if he fails, it will become a joke, but now even Spielberg is willing, he has to doubt his own judgment, maybe this teenager really has great potential.

"I think so, too. ”

At present, the two sides are gossiping about various details, because they have a clear intention, and with the cooperation plan of Ye Wei and Willis's team in front, many aspects can be directly extended and used, so it is easier to talk.

The same production budget, the same share allocation, the filming location is Toronto, but the Cheyenne Enterprise has been replaced by Preton.

The difference is that Ye Wei will be the first producer and first director of the project, which will be clearly written into the contract, and no one can replace him unless he resigns himself, or cannot complete the project due to some force majeure.

Soon after, Brian and Leslie joined the meeting on the phone, and both of them made it clear that Ye Wei wanted to become a well-known "genius boy" in the United States!

Whether it is the fame of the "Little Sunshine Beauty" project, Ye Wei's own fame, and Hanks' explanation to the public before the success of his investment in young filmmakers, it is necessary to continue the previous image building plan.

Ye Wei has no objection to this, he knows that this is inevitable, no matter who invests in him, he will have this requirement, because the big man is willing to invest in him, in addition to appreciation and trust, he also really understands his commercial value, the benefits brought by "genius boy Ye Wei", 3oo can be earned back, and the first step is to build.

He's going to have to be a star, and sooner or later he'll be.

"Actually, the reason why Lovett and they have this plan is entirely because I came up with it, an American dream that drives America crazy, a sought-after genius kid! So no problem, but I have a request, don't use romance hype this marketing method. ”

Brian had long known Ye Wei's attitude, and he didn't intend to be reluctant, and professional words came out from the conference phone on the table:

"It can't be denied that romance hype is the easiest way to achieve results, but it doesn't mean that there are no other methods, since you don't like it, then don't use it, but when you become a star, whoever you fall in love with, the media will not let it go. In terms of maintaining fame, the column you mentioned is a feasible solution, and we will make other arrangements in the future. ”

"Let's create a good image of a talented person first, and see where the effect can go. Leslie's gentle voice came from another conference phone.

Speaking of which, Woody Allen's PR consultant is also Leslie, and she is one of the most experienced and powerful PR people when it comes to managing the image of a film talent.

Of course Ye Wei hates Woody Allen, but it's ridiculous to hate Wu Ji House for this matter, and Meryl Streep is also a member of the house! Cate Blanchett, Hanks, and many others. Lovett is right when it comes to saying that it's not just the film industry, there are very few people standing at the top of the pyramid in every industry, and that's all the top PR is about.

Sometimes work is work, and Hanks is a CAA client, and so is Spielberg, and maybe soon he will too. The CAA is actually "a well-resourced bazaar" with many different stalls that will cooperate with each other, compete with each other, and even be hostile to each other.

So it's not like the Avengers and the Justice League, it's like John Williams is a Harvard-Westlake student, and so is he.

He thinks that in any industry and any organization in the world, nothing is 1oo%, and you can only do your best, and this is human society.

But then again, there is a big difference between the stall of Hanks' team and Willis's team.

At least the difference in the concept of creation made Ye Wei very happy: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"But, I heard you say you're remaking your family's "The Wedding Is Coming," Hanks asked suddenly.

"I've stopped a bit lately, I'm making a big revision of the script, and after 5o%, I can sign my name in the screenwriter column in the future. ”

Ye Wei smiled and said, suddenly I understood what Hanks meant, the film has been remade, he is the screenwriter, editor and producer, this is also the work of "genius boy Ye Wei"! He opened his eyes and said: "You mean ......"

"If the quality is good, isn't this a good opportunity for you to show your talent?" Hanks said in an interested tone. Brian asked, "What's going on?"

Ye Wei briefly told everyone about the cause and effect, and Brian and Leslie were very surprised.

"It's definitely a great opportunity, and as long as it's good enough and there's a lot of shine, we can even have a couple of theaters to show it," Brian said. ”

Leslie also felt that Ye Wei's creation space had become broader, and said: "Then I can invite a few film critics to cheer, if I can get their praise, your image as a young talent will be more stable." ”

"Sounds good. Ye Wei was moved when he heard this, but he was more concerned about another aspect, do it again!

If the remake of "The Wedding is Coming" can be shown in a few theaters to dozens or even hundreds of theaters...... Combined with dVd sales, there is hope that the cost will be recovered within the year, and the family's debts will also be cleared within the year...... That's unbelievable!

Thinking of this, he said confidently: "I think there will be a lot of shining ......" After telling everyone about the idea of remake, he smiled: "The 'God of Wedding' will be dubbed by me personally!"

"Spoofs and complaints about wedding movies, funny. Hanks couldn't help but laugh, as did Gary Gozman, who was the driving force behind the wedding movie trend.

Ye Wei said with a smile: "We can also cooperate on this project, if I can use a few footage from "My Grand Greek Wedding", the movie will be more funny." ”

Everyone laughed again, and just listening to it was quite interesting.

"It's not enough to just dub, you'd better be able to reshoot some shots and show off your directing talent, and the best thing is that you have your own appearance!" Brian was also excited about these ideas, "It doesn't take much, just show up on the screen and make a deep impression on everyone." ”

"That's no problem. "Ye Wei doesn't have to think about it, I didn't make up the shoot before, not because I didn't want to, because I didn't have money, if there is a professional opportunity, I won't lose money if I spend 108,000 yuan to make up the shot, and there is a make-up, there is more room for change, and the quality is higher.

The more everyone discussed, the more interested they became, and after talking for a while, the plan was decided.

The remake of "The Wedding is Coming" is a big show of Ye Wei's talent, if there is no accident, he will officially enter the public eye with "Dance of Angels" and some talented actions, and after making a name for himself, he will launch this movie soon after, making his fame bigger and more stable.

The main goal is the sales and leasing of dVd, video, etc., if the quality is really enough, it will spend money to arrange about 3 theaters for screening, anyway, with the help of the previous publicity effect, it will attract some fans to consume.

Then, it was announced that Ye Wei and Pretong would cooperate to produce and direct the real debut film "Little Sunshine Beauty".

The production budget for the remake is $20,000, but the image is $10,000, Preton is $1,000, and some unused footage from the release version of "My Grand Greek Wedding" will be provided.

"However, it's an interesting idea to do a good job of this remake, and you can say anything you need help with. Hanks said a few words of encouragement.

"Yes, you have to understand its importance, no matter how good a short film is, it doesn't have the power of a feature film, so "Dance of Angels" will let everyone know you, "The Wedding is Coming" will make everyone remember you, and "Little Sunshine Beauty" will make you. Brian said.

"I know, I know how important it is!"

Ye Wei is high-spirited, in fact, he is the most serious and ambitious person in the entire conference room, from a big bad movie, he is expected to turn over, and is expected to create a miracle, how can he be slack, 3 theaters will be screened? He wants 3oo theaters to screen!

Just to pay off the debts of the family, they have to work hard for this goal, and maybe they can buy a good car to reward themselves when they are done! How is Ferrari? Cool enough? Come on!

After talking about this topic, the words at the conference table returned to the production of "Little Sunshine Beauty".

Ye Wei's eyes were blazing, and he asked a question that many people are concerned about: "Tom, I don't know if you are interested in playing 'Richard'?"
