The night was hazy, and although it was Thanksgiving in five days, Brentwood was already in a festive mood, with the coral trees of St. Vicente Avenue lit up and shining.

The Ye family, which is not far away, is brightly lit, Ye Wei's room has changed a lot, some of the places where things were originally placed are empty, and there are small boxes containing treasured comics and toys ready to be sold next to the bed, which are generally much neat and clean, and the black stone is also standing against the wall.

At this time, Toto was lying on the computer desk and falling asleep, while Ye Wei was sitting at the table, looking at the screen, browsing ImdbpRo's information, and the computer was still playing the Beatles' "yesterday".

What Imdb is, most movie fans and viewers know, but ImdbpRo is different, this is a professional version for professional filmmakers.

In addition to the general information of the public version, there will also be more detailed professional information, such as contact information, such as agents, brokerage companies, managers, mailing addresses, etc., as well as future schedules, projects being negotiated, personal contract status, etc.

And the fee is reasonable, less than $2oo a year, so it is an indispensable casting tool for producers nowadays, and it is also a must for actors to show and run themselves.

Ye Wei's newly registered account is still in the free trial stage, which is even more enjoyable to use, and his goal is to find one or more suitable lobbying targets for "Little Sunshine Beauty"!

In fact, after Schwarzenegger's "Terminator 3", the top superstar salary club in Hollywood is now 250,000, according to the evaluation of "Variety Daily", there are at least ten superstars in the list, plus 2ooo million, there are about ten or twenty people.

A group of actors with the most commercial value and power in the world, a group of winners at the top of the pyramid, in and out of luxury cars, living in luxury houses, walking on the red carpet, being chased by the spotlight every day, film companies compliment them, producers flatter them, and fans chase them......

Ye Wei thought, why is he not interested in working hard to be a big star?

Maybe it's because he doesn't like that kind of life, in Los Angeles, in Hollywood, who is the most sought after? not a superstar, it's a psychiatrist.

Fans chase stars, but celebrities chase psychiatrists, the number of psychiatrists here is amazing, like the ant colony around an ant queen, a well-known doctor's appointment needs to be several months in advance, and each doctor specializes in only one type of mental illness, and the most patient subjects are sadism and low self-esteem.

An unbelievable fact is that almost every actor has suffered from low self-esteem, and the more stars there are, the more so.

They crave respect, but people often say they're just lucky, and sometimes even the producers and directors say "you finish the damn lines, just get the damn in place, and you don't understand the rest", and they know that they can easily be abandoned by the audience, eliminated by those young and invincible newcomers.

On the other hand, they take the most, they are held up to the sky, and they are extremely afraid that one day they will suddenly hear "you are not popular anymore" and they will suffer from gains and losses.

As for that kind of celebrity life? At the beginning, everyone fought to be popular, and soon after they became popular, they were tired of the crazy attention of the outside world, tired of the high-paced and high-pressure life, and they didn't want to live like this, and they couldn't quit, and they didn't want to quit, so they were hysterical, weird and irritable, and even became sadists, venting their hesitations.

Many celebrities can't bear the pressure, crazy, drug abuse, suicide; Of course, there are many celebrities who take drugs and do bad things for no reason, just garbage and stupidity; and some celebrities have no psychological problems at all, especially like those reality TV stars, they can't wait to have hundreds of onlookers when they go to the toilet.

There are also many celebrities who handle it very well and have always been as kind as a sweater-making grandmother.

Anyway, if you want to deal with celebrities, you have to be careful, and there is a lesson from USC that says, "If the little people anger the stars on the set, you will only lose your job." ”

How to provoke it? Like occupying the best parking space, talking by the RV where the star is resting, and daring to stand in front of the star when receiving lunch...... The set is a hierarchical place.

Ye Wei doesn't know what the temper of these superstars is, but this is not something he has to consider, if a grumpy superstar wants to join, can't he say no?

The six main characters in the story, the most attractive is undoubtedly Dad Richard, youngest daughter Oliver, and Grandpa, which are the male protagonists, core characters and spiritual mentors.

However, the actor Oliver needs is about seven years old, and there are few star-level child stars, so it seems that there is really no suitable one, so let's look at adult roles.

First Richard, Ye Wei flipped through the script on the table, and the character in the script was described like this when he appeared:

He wears pleated khaki shorts, a short golf sleeve and a pair of sneakers. He walked back and forth with a steady and swift pace that he had previously been an athlete. His outwardly energetic and optimistic outlook only conceals the insecurity and frustration that often churns up inside. ”

Many times, including casting, modeling, art, etc., the script just plays a reference role, some directors will shoot according to the script, and some directors will let Richard wear a suit and tie to appear like a senior white-collar worker.

It's not for nothing that the script has been questioned, and a large part of the film crew doesn't like the screenwriter pointing fingers at the script and writing these superfluous descriptive words, which is annoying, like some "insecurity and frustration that often churns in the heart", which makes the director shoot it? Say it in voice-over? Just kidding.

"The script has no inner thoughts" is the principle of script creation, if you want to express your inner thoughts, you should express them through specific scenes, not words.

Ye Wei doesn't mind that there are personal intentions of these screenwriters in the script, because it can allow him to better understand the story and burst out of his own directorial creation.

And in his senses, what he wants is a middle-aged man with confidence on his face, but a little irritable, looking strong, but with tired eyes, a loser who is strict with his family but actually loves them deeply, and who is constantly pushed by society and family and can't stop to catch his breath.

Then as the story progresses, he will show all aspects of being someone else's son, father, stepfather, husband, and brother-in-law, so the actor must have a variety of acting skills, which can be tough, loving, or humble......

Tom Hanks...... Yes, of course. ”

Ye Wei wrote the name of the first superstar on the cardboard, and his heart couldn't help but jump, grinning, Hanks is definitely suitable! If Richard is played by him, I believe he will give an Oscar-level performance for Best Actor! It's a pity that it doesn't count if it's not written down.

Harrison Ford, no, he's too handsome, he's too old, Dustin Hoffman is also old, but he can barely play grandpa, Robert De Niro can be grandpa, Al Pacino, his image doesn't fit the story, Jack Nicholson, a good candidate for grandpa.

Back to Richard, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, they are all good actors and superstars, but they seem a little younger to Richard.

Leonardo's young superstars are even more outrageous, Mel Gibson's "freedom" shout is exciting, this time the temperament is not right, no.

What about Cheryl, Julia Roberts, who is too pretty, but if she is willing to act, she will be adjusted to fit by makeup, styling and cameras, Cameron Diaz, which is an insulator that can't be tuned in any way, and Sandra Bullock, who is good, acting first-class, but she looks too young.

And don't forget, this is a mother character, not the kind of young mother in "Never Compromise", a middle-aged mother with a teenage son and a seven-year-old daughter, the most feared thing for female stars all over the world is to be thought that "she is old", no matter how old James Bond is, Bond girls are always young;

Actresses are afraid of getting old, and taking the initiative to play the role of a mother is an act of recognizing the old, once they play it, they can only continue to grow old, so this thing is even more difficult.

"Oh man, when will celebrities compete to cooperate with me?" Ye Wei muttered, and then couldn't help laughing, it was really even more exaggerated than Lev, so let's just find Meryl Streep to play the judge of the beauty pageant "Ms. Jenkins"!

But the fact is that each of these people is a big shot, and they are no longer in the ranks of the three-strike-out rule, even if there are a bunch of bad movies, there will still be film appointments, and it is they who choose the play, not the play.

Pressing the mouse, Ye Wei closed the pages of many actors, stretched his waist, and then clicked on another actor's page, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart moved.

"Bruce Willis?"
