Now it's in trouble, and Weige has made a big disaster.

A phone call at noon on Saturday made Terry Price furious, and his head almost exploded with a headache, and the call from the science fiction channel was that because Ye Wei's recent behavior did not match the image of the agreement, they wanted to cancel the broadcast of the documentary "VIY: Chasing Dreams, Sunshine Little Beauty, and the Birth of a Prodigy", which was scheduled to premiere on October 30.

This is obviously a revenge on Ye Wei!

The Sci-Fi Channel is owned by NBCnico, the parent company of Universal Pictures, one of the six major studios, and has close ties to The Disney Group. And what does Ye Wei's recent behavior mean? It was definitely at yesterday's appeal meeting that he did not save any face for the MPAA and the Sixth National Congress.

"His rudeness and rudeness and self-righteousness are just a spoiled child, which is completely inconsistent with the positive propaganda of dreams and prodigies", the science fiction channel has actually made it clear that "if he is willing to publicly apologize for his inappropriate remarks, the cooperation can continue", this weekend time for him to think clearly.

Because of the nature of joint promotion and cooperation, the sci-fi channel does not need to pay much money for breach of contract, and on the grounds that Ye Wei violated the agreement first, almost all have to ask DreamWorks for compensation.

The relationship between DreamWorks and NBC Universal has always been very good, but this time the other party is clearly targeting Ye Wei, with an attitude of "you don't need to say much, you want him to say".

Price knows that it is impossible, and it is not good, the current √ public opinion is in favor of Ye Wei and LMS, if Ye Wei suddenly apologizes, the anti-MPAA rating camp will become a joke, and Ye Wei will only be hated by the whole industry.

It's so ugly, it seems that the MPAA and the Big Six are really scared, probably afraid of a repeat of the Oscar promotional preview ban at the end of 2003.

If a film is aiming to hit the awards season, the distributor will naturally do a good job of promoting it (the film starts with the pitch), such as sending DVDs (formerly VHS tapes) of the film to the judges of the Oscars and other awards, which is a promotional preview film.

There are so many films that apply for the Oscars in a year, and in fact, many of the more than 5,000 judges don't see all those films when they vote for the nominations and then select the winners from the nominations. And the films that are distributed on promotional DVDs have a greater chance of being seen, and they will get more "Oh, I've seen this, yes, pick it".

APMAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) soon stipulated that the preview film set could not contain any paper printed materials, and then it was packaged with a "simple record set or box", and now only a DVD with the film itself can be distributed, and it is packed into a set or box that is not valuable, with a sentence "for your reference" written on it.

Distributors are busy with this every year at the start of awards season, and it's the best way for independent studios to take on the six powerful distribution and PR systems.

For the Big Six, this is a thorn in the side. Finally, at the end of 2003, the MPAA banned member companies from distributing preview films on the grounds of anti-piracy (preview DVD is indeed the source of many piracy and leakage of film content, but it mainly harms the interests of blockbusters, but increases the survival space of independent films).

This ban is beneficial to the Big Six, but it is poison for independent studios. As a result, angry independent filmmakers teamed up to take the MPAA to court, and in December of the same year, the court ruled that the MPAA's ban violated the unfair competition law, and the ban was revoked, and the preview film could continue to be released.

If the LMS is sure it has the strength to make the Olympics, DreamWorks will do the same.

Now that some of the films have already begun, as far as Price knows, Lionsgate is crazy this year, holding a "Crash" as if it was going to compete for the Oscar for Best Picture, and is handing out DVDs everywhere, and there are people who have something to do with the awards season, and even the cleaners have one in their hands.

The Weinstein brothers don't do that, usually in a targeted group and selectively, but Lionsgate does it indiscriminately. This may require an investment of hundreds of thousands of DVDs, which is not a small amount of money.

The defeat of the ban has already caused the MPAA to lose its prestige, and with current public opinion, if independent filmmakers jointly sue the MPAA for unfair ratings, the outcome of the incident may be different.

But it is not for nothing that this kind of thing has not happened for so many years, and every unfair rating only harms the interests of the company concerned, and it is still a good thing for other companies at any time. Therefore, unlike the six major non-profit bans of the trial film ban, it is difficult to gather the strength of the film business community every time the rating turmoil is compromised.

And this turmoil came so suddenly, even DreamWorks itself never thought that it would make such a big fuss!

The situation of the appeal meeting is also a "out of control", the high-level and Price did not expect Ye Wei's words to be so harsh, and told him to sue him, and if he loses, he will accept to leave, but viy came to the shocking "**-MPAA", there are many people who scold MPAA, and he is still the first person to scold so happily but ugly, a 17-year-old Asian boy.

As soon as the appeal meeting ended yesterday, as soon as Price reported to the top management, the first thing Katzenberg said was "we are in trouble", everyone knew that there must be trouble, but they did not expect that this was the first thing, the cancellation of the propaganda documentary.

The Sci-Fi Channel is a popular channel for movie promotion, but LMS is not the most suitable for promoting it. At the beginning, I took a fancy to the low cost of its joint promotion, LMS is not what it used to be, if the science fiction channel said a few months ago to cancel the cooperation, then there is no problem, but there is only half a month left!

Of course, this is Yan zhòng's disrupting the rhythm of LMS propaganda, and suddenly what channel do you want to find to broadcast? What about the ill-informed viewers who are waiting to watch it on the science fiction channel?

Troubles are likely to follow. Business is business, maybe one day in the future, Ye Wei and the big studios will be too good to be together, but not now, the six big ones obviously want to give this wild horse-like kid some power, and tame him before considering using him. If he's a smart guy and a genius, he shouldn't fight the MPAA anymore.

DreamWorks has not had a smooth event this year, and finally ushered in the harvest of LMS, a project full of hope for a bumper harvest, and it has become like this again.

After answering the phone, Price immediately informed the senior management that he didn't know what to do.

"It's not hard to do PR this time, that kid made too many mistakes, and we can easily divert the attention of the outside world. ”

"Oh, what's your idea?"

"Let's first shift the focus of the rating results, so that the outside world will not pay attention to whether the MPAA is right or not, but whether Ye Wei's behavior is appropriate. There is something wrong with the tacit MPAA, and he is impersonal to the rules, but Ye Wei's behavior is wrong, rude, and arrogant, he is asking for special treatment, and the MPAA does not give it, he is like a spoiled child who is vexatious, making him lose the public's convincingness. ”

That's right, and then find some words from his remarks at the grievance meeting, and add fuel and vinegar, and turn them into ignorant and childish words, arrogant words, and MPAA just doesn't care about a child, not that he can't be ignored. ”

"He already has the image of an arrogant and frivolous bad boy, and it would be very convincing to attack this point. He has been burned out by the small achievements of the past for a long time, and in addition, whether there are achievements or not, he has to respect others. ”

"The aspect of his private life will also be attacked, which will divert the attention of ordinary people more quickly......"

In the light of the setting sun, Catalina Island is quiet and beautiful, and the sea breeze brings the coolness of autumn.

The seagulls were returning home, and Ye Wei and Nina went to the Shuanggang campground. Instead of staying in those cabins, the two rented camping tents and other equipment, and arrived at a hillside high on the north side of the campsite, where the sea in the north was close to them, and there were tents for other tourists far away, which was a good place to camp.

A long time ago, Nina figured out a mystery as to why Yunik ate grass.

Because this is his camping philosophy, the wilder the environment, the more exciting, and the more primitive the way, the more enjoyable. Yunik really likes camping, and since falling in love with him, the number of times she has camped has increased in a straight line, and you must camp if you can camp in a tourist destination.

At this time, not far away from a small shrub, the two of them worked together to assemble the tent.

has long been familiar with the hands, Nina docked the tent pole and handed it to him, Ye Wei took the tent pole and put it into the camp, and had to lay the inner tent and hang the outer tent, laughing and chatting for a while, the two of them pulled up the blue double tent and clapped their hands with cheers.

"We should rent a bigger one, I don't think it's going to stand up to tonight. ”

“...... Don't you want to be like last time!"

Nina hugged him viciously, as if she was going to wrestle, but she was actually coquettish. Ye Wei hugged her delicate and graceful body and swayed from side to side, and said with a smile: "I found out your true color, I was worried that there would be some bison sneak attack." But it's only a little bit more dangerous here, and I really want to explore the Amazon jungle. ”

"Amazon!" Nina smiled and rolled her eyes, she had heard him say countless times, every time he camped, she was like a treasure: "There are cannibals out there, and ants that can kill people with a single bite, and a lot of dangerous plants, oh, piranhas!"

"Yes, yes. Ye Wei pinched her buttocks, then let go of her and went to prepare dinner, "The mpaa rating really made me angry and disappointed, but I just wasn't afraid, why, because I am a future explorer, the Amazon is not afraid, what are you afraid of? I know that one day I will go." ”

"I'll go too. Nina followed him to set up dinner, spread out the red checkered picnic mat, and put the food and fruit on it.

"That's not going to work. As he did this, he said, "I won't let you go, it's too dangerous." Knowing what he meant, she said sweetly: "You look down on girls." He laughed, "I just don't want to be killed by you." ”

"What are you talking about......"

"Tell the truth! There is a kind of flower there, and when you see a beautiful girl, you will release a deadly poisonous gas, called the jealous flower. ”

"Really? No matter how stupid I am, I know it can't be. ”

"Ok, smart guy. ”

The two of them laughed and talked about setting up dinner, washed their hands with mineral water, sat down on the floor and began to eat, frolicking from time to time, she wanted to feed him bread, and he felt her cruelty.

It's been more than four months of long-distance relationship, and Nina is really glad that her relationship with Yunic is still so good and better, but she doesn't like long-distance relationships, not at all.

Their beginnings are different from ordinary couples, the first half of the year is a state of cohabitation, living together almost every day, even if it is two months and a week in the two months of LMS shooting, they can see each other many times, when he goes back to Los Angeles, it is as if he suddenly left her world, it seems that he has a lot of personal space, but in fact it is often very painful.

Everyday thoughts, sometimes inexplicable frustration, yes, she sometimes thinks nonsense, Los Angeles is a world of flowers, he is so popular, and that ex-girlfriend is in the same school...... Sometimes I suddenly want to see him and be hugged by him, but I can only call, if he is very busy that day, or happens to be thinking about something, the daily phone call will not last long.

Hanging out with friends, people come in pairs, she is one, many boys come to talk to **, she says she has a boyfriend, but those people continue to be annoyed, at that time, she thinks that Yunik is by her side......

But every time we meet, Nina is very sure that she and Yunik have no problem and are still in love!

The two lit a kerosene lamp and placed it next to the tent, facing the sea, sitting on the mat in their arms, enjoying the beautiful scenery, blending sweetness, and having a romantic atmosphere.

Ye Wei doesn't like long-distance relationships, who would like it? There is a beautiful girlfriend who loves each other but is so far away, I don't say anything, I don't say anything, I don't say it, I don't say it, I don't want to say it, I feel really uncomfortable when I want to hope. However, it also gave him more time to be a workaholic, and he was busy with a bunch of adaptations for new projects.

"Yonic ......"

"Huh?"

"Will you leave me?"

"If you don't leave me, I won't leave you. If you leave me, I will chase you back. ”

"I won't ......"

Looking at Nina's somewhat misty eyes, Ye Wei kissed her slightly open lips, "I love you so much." ”

"Me too......" She kissed him for a while, and when he made any further moves, she pressed his hand on the chest, "Yunik, I'm a dumb guy and can't say anything but 'I love you', so I decided not to say it!"

Nina got up, straightened her clothes, walked away and turned around, with a sweet smile on her face, "I'll dance for you." ”

"Really?" Ye Wei propped his hands back on the ground and looked at her with interest.

Nina, who was wearing sneakers, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her right hand and danced, mixing ballet, jazz and rhythmic gymnastics, gently, softly, with the heart, the graceful figure was like a dream in the moonlight, and the eyes full of love were like stars.

Ye Wei looked at it with a smile, what else did he need to say, under the starry sky, by the sea, on the island, a girl was dancing for her lover. What else needs to be said.
