Gary Gozman's mood is very complicated, Ye Wei doesn't know how to make trouble, Julia Roberts intends to join "Little Sunshine Beauty"!

Not a joke, she was going to have a secret interview with Ye Wei and invite him to the role of a witness.

Gozman couldn't understand what was going on, Julia didn't have any intention of joining before, saying that the consideration was just to give Ye Wei a face, and that kid didn't know what that meant.

Julia actually has two film contracts on hand now, both of which are dubbing jobs, one is "Don't Mess with the Ants", which is an all-CGI animated film project cooperated by Preton and Warner Bros. and other studios, with a budget of 50 million, he and Hanks are both one of the producers, and with their connections, they have hired a luxurious online lineup, including Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep and Julia.

The dubbing schedule of "Don't Mess with the Ants" is in the middle of next year, and the other is "Charlotte's Web", which will start filming in January next year, and she will dub "Charlotte", and the schedule is also next year.

Dubbing and acting can be said to be two different things, you don't have to get up early in the morning to put on makeup, you don't have to run around with the crew, there is no pressure, you get to and from work on time, and it has no impact on your family.

The big deal is that she's also the executive producer of her production company's new project, "Little Beauty".

Comeback half a year after giving birth, the first appearance of the comeback? How many companies are handing over film contracts, including Pretwin, but not the "Little Sunshine Beauty" project, it is the "Charlie Wilson's War" project that Ye Wei doesn't know.

The project stemmed from the fact that he liked the original novel published last year and thought it was worth bringing to the screen, and Hanks read the novel and agreed, so they tried to impress the author, George Creel, bought the rights to the film adaptation, and actively produced it.

It's a big project, it's not a short time to get the investment started, one of the reasons for the big project is that Hanks wants to star in person, and they also want to invite Julia to join, the first film of her postpartum comeback, her first screen collaboration with Hanks.

Julia is quite interested in this, but at this time, Viy destroys a Qiē like Godzilla, because his millions of small projects may disrupt tens of millions of big projects!

Emma Gonzman could only think of this reason, and then Julia's revealed intention confirmed it, all because of Emma. That kid is really crazy, messing around with flowers and grass, and something will happen sooner or later......

However, he couldn't tell Julia, "You can't join Little Sunshine, we still have Charlie Wilson's War."

First, because of the calculation of the time for investment, research and development and preliminary preparation, even if it is a qiē shun lì, the latter has to start filming in 2006, and there is no conflict with the schedule of "Little Sunshine Beauty";

In fact, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is also a project of Pretong, he is still the producer, if Ye Wei invites Julia, he should be happy, Julia's joining will bring huge changes, and the chance of success is much greater.

The question is, what if it fails? What if it is the first "Hanks + Roberts" failure?

Then it is basically impossible to realize the initial plan of "Charlie Wilson's War", unless the two superstars only get a salary that does not match their value.

Unless Hanks doesn't join him, Hanks' attitude is two sentences: "Charlie Wilson's War is still just an idea" and "Weige's current performance is excellent".

That's true, not to mention whether Julia will really join "Charlie", maybe the script adaptation is not good and it can't be filmed, and Weige's work results are obvious to all, intellectually and professionally, it is right to do a good job in the projects that have been filmed, and if "Little Sunshine Beauty" is successful, the investment in "Charlie" will be easy to find.

It's just that the chips pressed on Ye Wei are even bigger, and they are getting bigger and bigger.

If Julia joins, it will definitely be zero salary + share, and there will be no excessive requirements for "providing private jets", although she is not a good person, but in independent production, she has this excellent quality, and it is not once or twice to appear in an independent film in this way.

There are many more stars with this quality, why don't you add up to more than $30 million in salary, compensation and share at any time to work for an independent film for free?

In the words of a famous CAA: "It's the distinction between business and art." ”

Stars may feel that in the studio's commercial films, they have no opportunities to perform, win awards, increase their prestige, have no friendships, do not have real respect, and do not have the artistic atmosphere of independent filmmaking. Some like to work with a well-known director, and some like to support a new director, maybe to increase the fading popularity, or it may be to fill the idle schedule, after all, 20 million roles are not available every day, unless it is in exaggerated publicity.

And they starred in these independent films for free, their value will not be reduced, only the failure of commercial films will reduce their value, but the success of art films will increase.

In the final analysis, there are still benefits, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is an independent literary film, special in particular, failure has little impact on the value of the star, but it is inevitable to be ridiculed.

None of those reasons were Julia's intentions, she was for Emma.

Hanks's intention is to see more and more the hope of the success of "Little Sunshine Beauty" from Ye Wei's expression, Hanks has been frustrated in commercial films, and if he shines in an independent film, it will be an upbeat for his career.

But what about him? Gary Gozman? One head and two big ......

But Gozman knew that it was a great thing for that bad boy, and the more chips he was pressed on, the more big people wanted him to succeed, the higher he could fly.

......

The interview took place at Julia Roberts' vacation home in Malibu, where it was a cool early autumn day in Los Angeles and the California sun was as warm as ever.

Near noon, Ye Wei got off the plane, had lunch at the airport, and got into the car driven by Old George to Malibu, and his family and friends didn't know that he was back, which was a surprise.

When he arrived at the meeting place on time, under the reception of the assistant, Ye Wei came to the backyard of the villa, surrounded by flowers and trees, and could see the sea in the distance, only to see two people at the leisure chair table in the courtyard, Roberts and Gozman, what were they talking about, he smiled and said hello: "Hey, Gary, hey, Julia, you look really good." ”

Seeing Roberts again after many months, Ye Wei's mentality is already very different, yes, he still wants to have superstars join in order to create a greater effect, the most important thing is to let the release date be locked at the end of 2005, rather than possibly scheduled to the end of 2006, but even if there is not, we will not force it, we have a little money now, and it is a big deal to invest in making new films in that year.

With this more relaxed and more selective mentality, he was also more natural, and after saying hello, he sat down in a chair, picked up a piece of pastry in the tea box on the table, put it in his mouth and ate it, and praised: "It tastes great, I think the babies must say the same, it's great." ”

Gonzman was a little surprised, and Roberts, who had a big belly, seemed to have a flash of surprise on his face, this bad boy is presumptuous?

They thought that Ye Wei would find an opportunity to talk about the work results of "Little Sunshine Beauty" as soon as he came, but they ate it as soon as they came.

"It's so warm in California, it's snowing in Toronto, and it's starting a long winter. Luckily, in April and May, its winter will be over, so the location of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is not a big problem, we will shoot the interior and filmable exterior first, and wait until there is no snow in May to shoot the rest of the exterior scenes. ”

Ye Wei still talked about this aspect, but in Gonzman's opinion, he was like a big-name producer on an equal footing with stars, to be honest, with his qualifications, his tone was too direct and frivolous: "So Julia, what do you mean?"

What's this kid's idea?

"Godie Han has a very classic saying, I don't know if you have heard it. Roberts curled his lips, but laughed at other topics: "The actress is only three years old, the infancy of "Babe Pig", the youth of "The District Attorney" and the old age of "Driving for Miss Daisy." Weige, what period do you think I am?"

"Obviously it was during the motherhood period. Ye Wei replied without thinking, "The mother period of "Never Compromise" and "Little Sunshine Beauty". ”

Phew! Gozman suddenly sighed, wonderful.

"Hahaha!" Roberts laughed a few times, and suddenly made a cold face: "You bad thing, that's how Emma got hooked on you?

"I don't quite understand. Ye Wei frowned, surprised by the situation in front of him, did he say that I was unscrupulously using Emma? He took another small pastry and said, "I didn't, I asked Emma to help relay the news, only in this way, I have been following the etiquette of a friend." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not trying to teach anyone today. Roberts' expression didn't soften.

Gozman could see that Julia was trying to take back the initiative and scare the kid, but Viy didn't seem to be too frightened......

"I know. Ye Wei nodded, he had already thought about it, and it was more relaxed, Roberts called him here, and there was a witness, it was definitely not to say "I won't join", but what conditions to discuss, conditions that could not be discussed on the phone.

The face of the big man is to be given, this is the quality that a producer should have, he said seriously: "Julia, in this matter, I have always had an attitude, we definitely welcome you to join, we can also adjust the shooting schedule for you, and provide the best treatment we can provide, the key is your idea." ”

Roberts was silent for a long time before he looked at Ye Wei and said, "Frankly speaking, no matter what period I am in, no matter what movie it is, let me star in it half a year after giving birth, two months, as far as I am concerned, nothing compares to taking care of my baby for two months." ”

Ye Wei silently nibbled on the refreshments, in other words: Those things you gave me, others can also give me, and more and better, I am not rare, I don't need it.

What does she want?

"You don't have anything I want, but, there's Emma who wants it. ”

Hearing Roberts's words, Ye Wei was stunned, didn't you want me to fall in love with Emma?

"She's a newcomer and needs to make a name for herself and build her image just like you. I joined "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the next film you will direct after that is the absolute heroine project starring Emma. When the time comes, it will be up to me to choose whether to implement it or not, and what projects will be selected and arranged by me, and of course your opinions will be taken into account. ”

Roberts said and stroked his stomach gently, his eyes revealing a look that didn't know if it was motherhood or a queen's sharp light.

Gonzman on the other side smiled slightly wryly, all because of Emma.

"I understand...... Ye Wei's mouth stopped as he chewed on the refreshments, turned his eyes to look at the Pacific Ocean in the distance, and thought about this condition in his heart, it was really sudden......

What is it called, 1+1 bundling clause, benefit exchange, win-win, whatever it is called, why?

It's not hard to see why, it's not the first time Roberts has done this, she starred in "Newborn Calf" to lead Emma, which is not very successful.

"The Newborn Calf" is positioned as a film in the disc market, which was released two years ago, and was released in several theaters last month to test the waters, but in the past few weeks, it has not broken for a thousand dollars in a single museum, and the total box office is 30,000 or 40,000, as if it has already been painted?

There is also the ridicule of the media and the public, nepotism!

For Emma, the identity of "Julia Roberts's niece" is inescapable, it is a double-edged sword that can both make and destroy her.

At the beginning, Sofia Coppola's acting career could not continue, in addition to the average acting skills, those accusations, coaxing, and Golden Plum Berry Awards were all reasons. The label of "nepotism" can easily ruin a new debut second generation star, from the reputation and from the heart.

The smart approach is network resources and more opportunities, so the producers of "Newborn Calf" are all vests, but they are still scolded.

I really don't know if Roberts rushed in, or if it was her plan, in the midst of the controversy, Emma did enter the public eye, but it was far from being a first-line child star, the movie stopped first, and went to Nickelodeon to play "Unfabulous", accumulating the popularity and acting skills of young audiences, as well as getting rid of the reputation image of nepotism.

Emma didn't find a film contract, she just said that she would act in a youth comedy called "Mermaid" next year, one of the starring roles is the feature film debut of the young female director Elizabeth Allen (because her father is the famous physicist Philip Allen and quite high-profile), with a budget of at least 10 million, which is expected to be released in 2006.

The female number two or female number three in the debut film of a famous talented new director, this is Emma's current screen status.

But now it's not physics, Elizabeth Allen hasn't proven herself yet, there are no absolutes in the film industry, no one knows if "Mermaid" can be successful, and even if it does, how much can Emma's screen career be improved? A-list star? Maybe not.

To become an A-list, it may take many years and a lot of good luck. The accumulation of one by one, this road is full of changes, and a big bad movie will end at any time.

It's not so easy for Roberts to want his niece to become a star, or even a superstar among a new generation of actresses.

Now she saw another way, a much easier way to go.

Roberts knows that if she joins, even if there is no Hanks, it will be a huge boost to "Genius Boy Ye Wei" and "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the world will be shocked!

First of all, no matter what, first get a spotlight, the film will have an important cameo from Emma! Then, apparently, she doesn't think the film will mess up, maybe it's because she's seen his recent low-key style, maybe it's the results of his work, maybe it's Brock who gives confidence, maybe it's Ah Jin.

Then "Little Miss Sunshine" is a success, and his next film will definitely get more attention, and the result is a film tailor-made for Emma!

He Ye Wei succeeded, and then succeeded with Emma, although it is also full of uncertainty, once it is done, it can soar into the sky.

This is a smart nepotism, his appearance has given Roberts a chance, doesn't she need it? Let her go to Steven Soderbergh and say, "You make a movie for Emma?" Soderbergh won't agree, big directors needless to say, well-known directors don't play with her, ordinary directors have no value, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, viy appears.

And from the perspective of his interests, with Roberts joining and her dedicated help, don't forget that he succeeds first, Emma can benefit, he is obviously not a loser.

Suddenly, there was a path that made them a community of interests, not just in terms of monetary benefits, but in what Roberts valued most, the future.

Probably thinking about the other party's mind clearly, Ye Wei began to chew the refreshments again, and said while chewing: "Well, I think, I want to ......"

There is no reason not to agree, Julia's joining will take "Little Sunshine Beauty" to another level, whether it is the attention of the media, his prodigy image, or his crazy ideas to impact the awards season......

That's not what you've always wanted, and how much more do you want to take advantage of?

"What?" Roberts frowned.
