In the colander restaurant on the main road, the decoration is simple, and the two sit at a table in a quiet corner, and the white-clothed waiter walks over several times with a fragrant tray to serve them food. There were also several customers who recognized Hanks, and 6 continued to come over to say hello, and Hanks laughed and talked with them, signing autographs and group photos, and there was no superstar.

And from the beginning to the present, this interview is almost all Ye Wei talking, which is definitely more talkative than the beginning of Quentin Tarantino's movie.

He made no secret of his feelings, starting from the time he liked the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty", he talked about how he embarked on the road of chasing his dreams, how he crowdfunded and bought the script, how he contacted Willis, how he made short films, how he moved Willis, how he was countered by them, and then how he sat here.

As he spoke, he took out the contents of the suitcase as a condiment, the wrinkles were a little more, but they could be seen clearly.

"Tom, I'll tell you the truth, I almost threw all these things away, and I was really disappointed at that time, and I didn't want to use the word hopeless, lost, unbearable loss. ”

Hanks listened attentively, looking at the wrinkled documents handed over by Ye Wei, he was a little moved, this was all written by himself!

He liked it, and in his heart, handwriting was the best way to show sincerity and seriousness, and he himself had written to Nia Vadallas, the screenwriter of My Grand Greek Wedding.

Now this young man writes everything by himself, and he also draws accurate storyboards, 1oo% storyboards!

With this seriousness alone, Ye Wei should get a chance.

"These documents are all done by me by hand, just to show my ability and sincerity, but even so, there are still people who want to slander me, Richard Lovett......" Ye Wei was about to explode, and he had to be polite to himself, so he said: "That guy, it's too despicable." ”

Hanks nodded, and was also grim about it, "This method is not good. ”

In fact, he heard about this matter yesterday when he learned about Ye Wei's situation, and now that he has read the original materials and Ye Wei's conversation, he already knows who is true and who is false.

"Those people don't think so, they say it's a 'white lie'. Ye Wei laughed disdainfully, and his anger was even worse.

I have to say that he is so "presumptuous", on the one hand, his mentality has changed, and on the other hand, Hanks is as amiable as Forrest Gump!

He knows that the screen image, public image and true temperament of celebrities are usually very different, often completely different, after Willis's incident, he understands this better, and the bigger the person, the more he knows how to disguise, some people laugh, in fact, they are very bad, Lovett and Rifkin are.

But Hanks gave him the feeling that he was a kind elder, who did not despise young people, nor put on a superstar shelf, and was willing to listen, understand, and be relieved.

The sentence "don't trust anyone" on the mysterious letter made Ye Wei not as easy to trust people as before, and his vigilance was much higher, but he was willing to believe Hanks.

Speaking of which, they are all Hollywood superstars, Hanks's status is one level higher than Willis's, Hanks can not only make money, but also win awards, and his popularity is also very good.

Sometimes whether a filmmaker's popularity is good or not is directly reflected in the Oscars, you must know that every vote is a peer, especially the Screen Actors Guild has the most, and it is the peers who work with and know it to decide who wins the award every year. When two candidates are hard to tell the difference between high and low on the film table, and I have a vote and no one has lobbied for me, should I vote for Hanks, who is nice to everyone, or someone who has a big temper all day?

If a filmmaker is often lamented by the media and says, "He deserves to win the award, why can't he get it", "He should get a nomination", there is a problem with popularity.

Hanks is popular, has a good eye for filmmaking, and his production company, P1aytone, is much more powerful than Cheyenne Enterprises.

Preton was co-founded by Hanks and producer Gary Gozman in 1996, and his first film was "The Unstoppable Miracle" (P1AYTONE is the record label in the film), and yes, Forrest Gump also wrote and directed!

And it's a classic, with a top-notch film critic reputation, and very good box office results (25o production fee and 34oo global box office)! His film talent is all-round.

However, after filming this director's and screenwriter's debut, Hanks has not directed or written the screenplay until now, probably because he loves acting more.

In 2ooo, Preton had a second work, which he participated in the production of "Desert Island Afterlife" (Global 4. 200 million box office, 2 Oscar nominations), then the classic mini-series "Band of Brothers", and then "My Grand Greek Wedding", which is a miracle movie, with a production fee of 5oo million, and a wild collection of 3. 6.8 billion global box office!

It also set off a trend of wedding movies, so with their family's "The Wedding Date is Coming", Ye Wei remembered that he and Hanks had long had a fateful relationship.

Hanks is one of the producers of these three works, in fact, Preton started producing only a year before Cheyenne Enterprises.

But the results of the two companies are compared to each other, just like Yao Ming and Earl Boykins are taller than each other.

This is also because of the difference in business strategies, Preton is steady and steady, does not make random moves, and is sure of success as soon as it is made; what about Cheyenne Enterprises?

This is not what Ye Wei cared about, before he was still thinking about how to save them money, and had the goal of giving Cheyenne Enterprise a taste of great success, but now, let it die.

It's not the first time that Willis has been happy, the "Hollywood Planet" restaurant he co-opened with Stallone and others was initially very good, and he also opened many branches across the United States, expanding wildly, but it was poorly managed, and finally the company went bankrupt.

People are multifaceted, as an actor, Willis is smart, and as a boss, Willis is stupid.

He only hoped that Hanks would continue to be wise.

"Tom, that's the way it is, that's where I'm now, but I have to say, I'm not afraid of them! ”

Ye Wei spooned a spoonful of caviar and put it in his mouth, and while gnawing and beeping, he said seriously: "I once learned a sentence, 'In the film industry, the work is your greatest power.'" I have always believed that this is the truth. Didn't I get this opportunity because of "Dance of Angels"?"

This is the truth. Hanks nodded, appreciating this young man a little more, and it is difficult for a person who is dedicated to making works in a down-to-earth manner without success.

"I'll help you with this, I know I can't leave it alone. ”

Hearing this rich sentence, Ye Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "Thank you, Tom! You can help, I can't thank you enough, I told a friend that day, Willis is a bad policeman, but I believe that there will still be good policemen in the world, and now I have found it, 'There is a snake in my boots-', haha!"

Hanks laughed too, "You're humorous. ”

"Yes, that's one of my strengths. ”

The two then began to talk about the possibility of working together, and Hanks is now full of curiosity about the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and this project can cause such a big stir, and it is by no means idle.

As for the focus on giving it up, it doesn't matter at all, Warner Bros. once gave up "Forrest Gump" in 1988, it's hard to believe, right? But at the time, they thought Forrest Gump was too similar to "Rain Man" to be a surprise, and it wasn't until 1993 that Paramount started filming this film classic.

This is the movie, and no one knows what it will be until it is made, and there is no need to deify the script, and the script must not be taken lightly.

Ye Wei took out the script and handed it to Hanks, and said solemnly: "I need to make it clear, if we can cooperate in the filming of "Little Sunshine Beauty", no matter what way it is, I want to be the first producer and director, this is the premise of my cooperation, I am crazy, but I have crazy talent." ”

""Dance of Angels" has already explained a lot, I'll look at the script first. Hanks didn't react too much, his expression was still generous, and he flipped through the script.

Ye Wei didn't bother, quietly savoring the French meal on the table, paying attention to the other party's demeanor: serious, interested, as if he had seen some treasure, some subtle performance expressions appeared on his face, and the actor's reaction when he read his favorite script!

He couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and he was proud, focus, focus, you are willing to sell such a good script, if you sell it, it will be someone else's, and you can't take it back!

After a while, the mobile phone suddenly vibrate, Ye Wei took it out and looked at it, Lowitt! He frowned and said, "Tom, Lowitt called me, I'll listen to what he has to say." ”

"Good. Hanks looked up and continued to read the script.

"Raised by a bitch, what are you calling for?" Ye Wei scolded directly.

"Hehehe, boy, should you come to Santa Monica?" Lowitt said arrogantly on the phone, "Kevin Thomas, do you know him? I found him, and he sued me for something, that private compensation contract didn't work, but Duoduo has other partners, right? How dare you put money into your family's bank account? What do you think will happen if this matter comes to light?"

Ye Wei Huoran was furious, several sluts colluded together!Fuck! His mind was a little confused, and he tried his best to say calmly: "Save it, that contract was formulated by a professional lawyer, and we signed it after we figured out what it was feasible, you can't scare anyone!"

"Is it feasible? Kevin Thomas has done so many false accounts, you know that not only did not expose and sue him, but colluded with him to make the other partners suffer losses, is it feasible?"

Lovett smiled happily and comfortably, it was really easy to catch this handle, "Boy, I know more about the law than you, maybe your father needs to go to jail, maybe not, but the 5o million that your family swallowed will definitely be taken out and become the company's property, and your family's reputation, your reputation...... If you do this kind of thing, will the Dream Chaser Alliance be clean? Do you think those parents will let you go? Boy, I've sued you, it's not time yet, it's not time for you to spill it on me!"

"You ......" Ye Wei clenched his fists and trembled, what benefits Kevin Thomas deserved, enough for him to stand up and admit that he had made false accounts and drag their family into the water......

Hanks on the other side had already raised his head again, with doubts on his face, what's wrong?

"Now I'll give you another chance, immediately come to Cheyenne Enterprise, sign the transaction contract, and sell us the script at a price of 6o thousand, then there will be nothing! If you still don't know who you are, all the investors in Weiduo Image and Dream Chaser Alliance will know your filthiness immediately!

But if you know you're wrong, apologize to us, and when the film is promoted in the future, maybe you will still show up a few times, genius boy, hehe. ”

"Fuck-you!" Ye Wei scolded angrily, his face was flushed with anger, but his firm attitude did not change: "Go, just go, I have also sued you, I am not afraid of you! I am not afraid at all! I have the ability to send me to prison! Sue Kevin Thomas, fuck his horse!"

He hung up the call, looked at Hanks, and covered his forehead: "Sorry, Tom, I'm so angry......"

"What's wrong?" Hanks asked with concern.

Ye Wei sighed, and told the whole story of "The Wedding is Coming", and then the threat of Lovett, he said angrily: "Actually, I am already remaking "The Wedding is Coming", and I will do it alone! I just need time to make it profitable and investors to make a return."

My family invested 180,000 yuan, accounting for 78 percent of the shares! Do you want to embezzle anything? Those bitches raised me! But I'm really not afraid, I just need to explain more to the investors...... They want to snatch "Little Sunshine Beauty" like this, it's a dream!"

Hanks frowned when he heard this, his broad face seemed to be a little angry, and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry. I've inquired, Willis didn't mean to pester you, these things should be Lovett's idea, that guy is like this, I have always been blind. ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, quickly dialed someone, and said in a deep voice: "Lovett, you come over to the colander of the main road immediately! Ye Wei and I are here, you come here, everyone figure out some things." ”

Ye Wei was surprised to put another spoonful of caviar into his mouth, beep!

......

On the other side, in the office of the CEO of Cheyenne Enterprises, Lovett froze, Hanks, that's Tom Hanks...... Hanks and Ye Wei are having lunch?

He looked at the puzzled Rifkin, at the smiling Kevin Thomas, and his face became very ugly, "That damn boy...... Damn !!"

Tom Hanks is too powerful, he is CAA's biggest actor client, Lovett didn't dare not go, and he didn't dare to delay anything, so he immediately rushed to the colander of the main road, and along the way, he made all kinds of guesses, how could Hanks get involved and call him over......

Ten minutes later, Lovett walked into the Colander Restaurant, where the two had finished their lunch and were savoring dessert.

Seeing Ye Wei talking and laughing freely, Hanks had the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty" and the storyboard of "Dance of Angels" in front of him, and this big man admired it, and Lovett's heart continued to sink, what happened, that kid...... What a-luck gone!

His face remained calm, walked up, and greeted, "Hey, Tom!" looked at Ye Wei again, and said with a smile: "This is a cunning boy, very good at lying......"

"You don't need to say more, I'll ask you a few questions, and you tell me the truth. Hanks interrupted him, his voice was powerful, his eyes were slightly sharp, this moment was not only the amiable Forrest Gump, but also the highest superstar in Hollywood, "You know I can get the truth, so don't lie to me." ”

"Yes, of course you can......" Lowett's calm could not be maintained, a little embarrassed, in front of this kid......

Ye Wei ate the pudding leisurely, with a smile on his face, and said silently: "Someone is in trouble." ”

Hanks asked, "The first one, is "Dance of Angels" Ye Wei's work?"

"Well...... "Dance of Angels" ......" Lovett hesitated a few times, but still had to answer truthfully: "It's his work, I don't know if he plagiarized it." ”

Hanks' gaze sharpened a little, "Second, did you conspire to cheat the Little Sunshine project?"

"Tom, that's a white lie! The terms we gave him are not bad at all......" Lovett quickly quibbled.

"Don't say it. Hanks interrupted the other again, anger building in his eyes, "Third, have you suppressed this young man, spread rumors, threatened, intimidated, and are ready to make him disappear from the film industry?"

Lovett really didn't want to answer, looked around, although no other customers could hear, but admitting to Hanks was tantamount to looking for death......

Damn! He waved his hand anxiously, his face flushed, and he held on to his round-rimmed glasses, "You don't know how bad this kid is, he scolds Bruce with the F word! I just want to teach him a lesson so that he can grow up, we value his ......."

"That's enough!" Hanks suddenly couldn't help but slap the table, not very hard, not loud, but the anger in his eyes could spurt, glaring at Lovett and reprimanding:

"The reputation of the film industry is ruined by people like you, and talented young people don't protect it, do this! Lovett, whatever you're going to do, stop me, restore my reputation, don't bother him anymore, otherwise, I won't let you stay in CAA!"

Ye Wei suddenly said loudly: "I need him to give me an apology, not much, just say sorry." ”

"That's as it should be. Hanks nodded.

Lovett's face was colorful, and he called helplessly: "Tom, Tom...... "Don't do this, don't do this, Hanks!"

Hanks grimaced and didn't say anything more. Lovett knew it was useless, the big guy was determined to be on the side of the damn boy, although he was a big agent, but in front of the real big guys, he was just a small man, just a 1o% sir.

"Oh......" Lowett suddenly laughed, laughing more ugly than crying, and said, "Boy, I'm sorry." I was overly angry before, let's do this, what I said on the phone just now doesn't count, so be it......"

"My name is Ye Wei, not a brat. Ye Wei said coldly and ate the pudding again.

"But, I'm sorry!" Lovett almost jumped, but glancing at Hanks, he endured it, and couldn't stay any longer, and neither could the cheeky Mr. 1o%! ”

Hanks nodded slightly, and then said, "You remember not to make small gestures again, this young man, I appreciate it." ”

Looking at Lowwitt's pig-liver-like face, Ye Wei was really refreshed, and laughed and said the classic lines of "Forrest Gump": "Miracles are born every day, aren't they?"
