Chapter 170: The Big Shot Wants to Know You
When the weekend of June 2nd and 27th passed, the total box office of "The Wedding is Coming" officially joined the 20 million club, and it is still continuing
And its chLT side has also begun to appear, on hpIy.com, on some other websites, Ic derivative culture has quietly taken root on the Internet, such as the God of Weddings, Ragdoll Bear, Carter and other characters have their own fans, and some people draw forum comics for them, make non-profit games......
Some golden sayings are also circulating, which is called cult style.
Preton saw a business opportunity in this, obviously with the higher box office of "The Wedding is Coming" and the future sales of DVDs, it will become more and more chLT, with a group of devout believers, then its peripherals can be done, such as the Mupdoll Bear Doll is designed by the prop master and only belongs to Ic), and those weird angel wings, which will definitely be sold on Halloween this year.
Why in the 21st century, the box office is no longer the biggest profit for popular films, because the pervasive Hollywood industry will make all kinds of money.
Of course, Pretong is still looking for business partners, and the IP line is only for North American theaters, video discs and TV broadcasts, and the overseas companies that are busy are also looking for other companies.
In any case, a new chLT film culture "Ic Sect" has been born, and its leader is named Ye Wei.
Ye Wei's fans around the world are also increasing, such as in China, he posted an interview with him from Sina.com, he can be said to be on fire on the Chinese network, although his haters are also increasing, what about understanding Chinese, coming back to China to make movies, this is sincere
If he does go back to China, the haters will surely say with disdain, you see, you can't get along in the United States, shameful thing.
The black people continue to be black, and the honey people continue to be honey, Brother Wei, we support you
A new week has just begun, and a long-predicted, but still shocking news has suddenly arrived.
Preton announced to the media that it will invest in Ye Wei's new film project, "Little Beauty in Daylight", and he will serve as the first producer and director, making his feature film debut in the strict sense of the word, with a budget of more than $60,000
Gary Gozman, head of Pretong and project producer, revealed to the media: "In fact, before the remake of "The Wedding is Coming", we confirmed this cooperation, this is Ye Wei's earliest project that touched us, we have always known how talented he is, and he will really show his skills in "Little Beauty in Daylight", there is no doubt about this." ”
Ye Wei said with confidence: "Thank you for this opportunity, it's very wonderful. I knew I was doing something that no one had done before, and it wasn't going to be easy, but I was ready for it. ”
The specific release date of this project has not yet been determined, and the outside world does not know much, only that it is the script of the rookie screenwriter Michael Arndt, and there is a legendary story behind the script, several years of revision, the abandonment of the focus, and Ye Wei's fancy, he then raised 60,000 yuan through guò campus crowdfunding to buy it, and then used "Angel Dance" and this script to find investment, which was rejected many times, and finally moved Hanks.
Because it was just an announcement, not even a preparatory period, these stories were not much publicity, but despite this, the media and the public could still feel the twists and turns of the episode
This is the new project he has said many times, only 6 years old, leading a new family comedy film with a budget of 6o yuan
After the outside world was shocked, a lot of questions followed, VIy has just finished remaking "The Wedding is Coming", does he have creative energy? Now that he has been promoted to the tenth grade, can he take care of his studies?
In this regard, Ye Wei also said that his studies will not be affected, and the filming period will be arranged during the holidays, as for "whether you want to take a break", he said, "I have a rest every night, and occasionally I go out to bite someone and suck some blood." ”
With the opening of "The Wedding is Coming", the main voice of the outside world is really not questioning, but surprise and expectation, and the prodigy is about to shine more brightly
But of course, there are also unfavorable doubts, and even ridicule, there is a big difference between spoof films and comedies, and if it is a completely new film, no matter how talented Ye Wei is, this is too hasty and stupid, Hanks is harming himself and Ye Wei.
Some people say it's good, some people say it's bad, and the investors of "Little Beauty of Daylight", which many insiders are very concerned about, have also surfaced.
The focus was kicked out, and the known filmmakers include Pretong, DreamWorks, and Dream Chaser.
In addition, what few people know is that James Schamus has decided to join the game, and the outside world will not care about this, but there are comments in the circle about his merits and demerits
David Lind was furious when he learned about it, believing that Shams's move had harmed the interests of Focus, but Shams reported the situation to the global management one step earlier, and the possible exercise of power and friendship with VIyR spoon were ...... The attitude of the top management is peaceful, the question is whether "Little Beauty of Daylight" can succeed?
Only if it succeeds, what friendship Shams says is valuable, otherwise who cares.
Who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, we will have to wait for "Little Beauty of Daylight" to come out.
The period when the producer has the most work is usually the preparation period, and as a result of Shams being able to hang up the title of assistant producer, Ye Wei has to continue to look for a second producer, and Gonzman and Shams have recommended some candidates, but he is not very satisfied.
But now the crew has one more member, the master from the vineyard, Gia Coppola.
She will continue to be Ye Wei's special assistant for free, "If you don't follow me, you can be so embarrassed on the set that you will be laughed to death" Anyway, it's free, and whoever you suddenly want to eat needs to do the errands, Ye Wei waved his hand and was ready
But this summer, Master Gia can't be an entourage yet, as she is diligently remediating classes for her return to school, and her goal is to ...... Harvard-Westlake High School 10th grade.
And Ye Wei was about to attend a small private party this day, since he became famous, many banquets, parties and activities have found him, about public welfare, business, communication, fun, etc., Brian refused to drop a layer for him, he himself refused to drop another layer, there is not much left, almost all are public welfare activities.
But this little party was Hanks' invitation, and the beach villa in Palisad, the Pacific of Hanks' house, was of course to go.
It's been a month since the release of "The Wedding is Coming", and Ye Wei and Hanks haven't met except for a few phone calls and text messages, but this party is not only him and Hanks' house, but also what makes him surprised and excited when he first hears it...... Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Maude
Roberts is also a caaR spoon client, and the agent is another ace agent, Kevin Hovein, who seems to have a good relationship with the Hanks.
The reason why Ye Wei is excited is naturally because Julia Roberts is a member of the "Perfect Cast of "Little Beauty", which is undoubtedly an opportunity to meet and communicate.
Seriously, although he has achieved some results, the difficulty of inviting superstars to star has not decreased much, and Roberts's difficulty has increased a lot compared to the beginning of the year, because she is pregnant for the first time, and the due date is November this year. She has already announced to the outside world that her focus in the next few years will be on her children and family, so she doesn't have any film appointments with her now, and she is basically in a state of retirement. It is difficult to be the one who wants to ask her to make a comeback after giving birth
"Julia wants to get to know you. ”
Hanks's laughter made Ye Wei stunned, what he didn't want to say flattered, it felt quite close, it was Julia Roberts
An Oscar for Best Actress, with two nominations (one for the leading actress and one for the supporting actress), the film she starred in has grossed more than one billion dollars in North America, the goddess of the whole people, a member of the 260,000 salary club, and the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, Julia Roberts
Such a big man, if he still has a big belly and wants to know him? hell
Hanks's next words dispelled his suspicions: "Julia's niece Emma will also come, she is 13 years old, she wants you to get to know each other, you are all young people who are going to the film and television industry, maybe there will be any opportunities for cooperation in the future? ”
Ye Wei immediately understood.
This is his long-standing fate with Roberts, Roberts and her sister Lisa Roberts-Gillian and others co-founded a production company, Red Oh Films CMPTHM, which since its establishment, has participated in two major productions of revolutionary films, "Manhattan Cinderella" (cost 26o yuan) in 2 years and "Mona Lisa's smile" (cost 36o yuan) in 2o3 years.
The former is also Wang Ying's commercial masterpiece in Hollywood, with good results, which also gives him the opportunity to continue to direct "It's All Daisy's Fault"; But the latter's results were mediocre, so the action of the Red Oh movie immediately became smaller, and this year's first production site only made a small-budget TV movie "Samantha", with the Roberts sisters as its executive producer.
Anna Sophia won the starring role so easily, in fact, there are multiple reasons such as Wang Ying's recommendation, the appearance of "Angel Dance" and her own excellent audition
Regardless of whether Roberts has admired him for a long time or not, now that he has emerged, Roberts, who has always done his best for his niece, even if he is pregnant, don't miss the opportunity, be a friend now If he can really grow into a character in the future, Emma has more opportunities.
Emma Roberts, Ye Wei's understanding of her is limited to some "stereotypes", Roberts's niece, her parents divorced when she was a child, and she lost custody because of her father's drug abuse, she was actually raised by Roberts, and she began to set foot on the screen in recent years, Roberts plays the role of a patron saint and a pioneer, so she is inevitably said by the media that she relies on nepotism.
That's it. It's a normal human exchange, and he doesn't have to think about it, and Hanks laughs in response, "yes, I'd love to." ”
The key is not to meet new people, but to have a very rare opportunity to lobby
When he went to Hanks's house on this day, Ye Wei had already done his homework.
