After a day, everyone in the crew of "The Wedding is Coming" finally got used to Ye Wei's new action, and when he shouted fire, he showed some coolness.

Darum They were very curious, and after finishing work, they asked Ye Wei why he had this interest, and he only smiled and said, "Filmmaker, talk about movies." "You can't let the old fritters despise it!

In fact, the old fritters are most concerned about VIY's talent, is it really professional? Is it really a genius? Can he really lead a professional set? Although he has "Angel Dance" and has an excellent performance in the early preparations, until now, there is no veteran who has not been a little apprehensive in his heart.

Yes, many of them are already on the fringes of the film industry, on the verge of being eliminated, and they don't get any decent opportunities, but who willingly willing? No one will.

Peter Heller and Sean Maurer are old friends because they worked together in "Jordan Heirs", and in the evening, the two went to Santa Monica's "wine bar" for a drink.

The bar was dimly lit by an oil lamp at each table, and customers were drinking and laughing while they sat at a table against the wall, drinking bright red wine.

"Sean, the world is unpredictable. Heller's face was a little drunk, and he shook his wine glass lightly, "How could we have imagined that we would be here two years ago. ”

"We all know it's a cutthroat industry. Maurer shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Our luck hasn't been so bad that many people don't even get that opportunity. ”

The two of them are really emotional, think about the original production of "Jordan's Descendants", which one was not full of expectations, with a production budget of 30 million! NBA entertainment companies participated in the investment, and invited Allen Iverson and other NBA superstars to make cameos, they all felt that they were going to soar.

Unexpectedly, the box office failed after the release, and the reputation of the film reviews was bad enough, with only a failing score of 5 on IMDB.

Director John Schultz and first producer Barry Josephson are still able to protect themselves, but they have become scapegoats, and this time they work together again to work for a kid.

A movie kid who is a few days older than Brenda Song! A remake of a big bad movie!

"Chance, chance......" Heller repeated the word, took a sip of his wine, and sighed, "such an opportunity! to remake a big bad movie for a 16-year-old." ”

Maurer was silent for a while, the 16-year-old kid was the boss after all, and it was always a little unsettling to say bad things about him, but because they were old friends, they had no conflict of interest, so he said: "This is the best opportunity I've had in two years, at least this is a film project." Don't you like it?"

"Frankly, I don't really know. Heller's eyes were at a loss, "The reason why I joined is because I am interested and need a job, I haven't worked for a long time. ”

His wry smile was dejected, "There doesn't seem to be any success in this project...... The problem is our boss, how do you feel about him after a day of filming?"

"Our boss ......" Maurer raised his glass and drank wine, looked at the flickering fire of the oil lamp, thought about today's shooting, and said: "He is indeed a professional director, and he is full of passion and a lot of talent...... He clearly has a style, you know mediocre directors are mediocre in everything, but good directors always have a strong personal style in their shots, and what I'm seeing is, viy has that kind of signs. ”

"Fire?" Heller said suddenly, and both of them immediately laughed, Viy was really a little anxious about this, the director's personal logo was formed slowly, how could he suddenly say that it would change.

Maurer smiled: "I think Gia Coppola taught him, today's April Fool's Day trick, young people like to play ......" Speaking of April Fool's Day, he suddenly had some emotion: "It's amazing, he is only 16 years old, is it an April Fool's joke?"

"16 year old genius. Heller's heart was uneasy at the thought of this, "If I don't do anything this time, I may have to leave the entertainment industry and do something else." ”

"Peter, don't be so pessimistic, we all thought that "Jordan's Heirs" would be a success, and as a result? We thought that "The Wedding is Coming" was not so good, maybe it would be a big success, and let us all get a new position, haha!"

"I don't dare to think about it. Heller couldn't be optimistic, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and it's not easy to do something in the video market!"

"I don't know about distribution, I just think Ye Wei's popularity has developed well, maybe it can really drive sales. Maurer said, jokingly: "Maybe we can collect some box office." ”

"Hahaha!" Heller couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, drinking again and again, he had never had such a thought, he knew that there would be a screening, but it was just to promote the disc, and the biggest effect was that there would be a few sentences written by film critics on the cover of the DVD, of course, only good words were printed, and customers paid for it.

How much does it cost to release it in theaters? Who will distribute it? He laughed and said, "Old friend, don't think about this, think about your brain." ”

"Just kidding. Maurer toasted, but didn't think much, "Don't be so strict, we're making a spoof movie." ”

In fact, as long as the response to the screening is passable, with a score of more than 60 and the DVD sales are passable, they will be satisfied, and they should be able to find a new job.

Can viy give them it? Who knows, the world is unpredictable!

......

On Friday, April 2, early in the morning, the sun was shining, and the crew of "The Wedding is Coming" came to the beach in Santa Monica to continue work.

was about to start a day's filming, but Ye Wei noticed a strange thing, I saw Peter Heller holding a cowboy hat, walking around like a beggar, those old fritters would smile when they saw it, take out a banknote and write something, and then put it in the hat.

And Darum and the other college students were also puzzled, and asked Heller what to do, before they realized and looked interested, and then did the same.

If there is no Master Jiya, Ye Wei will go up and ask what's going on, there is Master Jiya, of course ask the master, it's not easy to be a director.

"Gia, what's going on?" he pulled Gia to the side and looked at Hele, who was about to walk by.

Gia glanced at him disdainfully, "Call Master!"

"Ok, monster. Ye Wei said sincerely, seeing her eyes, he said: "This is a Chinese accent, one of the personal symbols." ”

Ji Ya looked like a master of the world who didn't care about him, and said lightly: "Kid, I really should charge you tuition, it's a five-dollar-friady." ”

"How to play?" Ye Wei's eyes lit up.

"It's a Hollywood convention on set, and it became popular when my grandfather was younger. On the Friday when the week was about to end, everyone in the crew put a $5 bill with their names written on it into a hat, and then at the end of the day, there was a lottery to draw the name of whoever was drawn, and the money would go to whomever it was. ”

"Oh, I see!" Ye Wei suddenly felt amused and said with a smile: "I've had good luck recently, it seems that I'm going to have a windfall today." ”

Gia shook her finger in disdain, like Mutombo, "You'd better not do that, there are two unspoken rules in this game, one, if the online members don't participate, they will become misers that everyone hates, and two, if they participate and win the prize, they can't take it! unless you want to be a fool who is pointed at and scolded behind your back."

So if you win the lottery, you ask for another draw, or use the money to treat everyone to a meal and a beer, and don't fuck yourself and take it yourself. ”

"Wow, there's a lot of truth to that. Ye Wei nodded, in fact, she can understand without her teaching, because this is not the culture on the set, but the knowledge of how to behave in the world, the online members are the people who earn the most money in the crew, and they also covet the prize money of the five-dollar Friday game?

He smiled as he took out a five-dollar note from his wallet and wrote Viy with a signature pen: "It's good that I'm not a miser, if you know me before, I'll scare you to death." ”

Who is viy? viy is the one who treats guests generously! Don't talk about five dollars, throw five hundred dollars, five thousand dollars, and don't blink an eye.

In fact, he hasn't changed this point until now, but he is trapped by life and can't be so bold anymore.

"Peter, this is my share. At that moment, Ye Wei walked up with the money and stuffed the banknote into the cowboy hat in Heeller's hand, "I wish you all good luck." ”

Heller was quite surprised, and so were the other people around him, such as Maurer, but when he saw that Gia, who was walking with him, also put the money in, he understood what was going on, it was really a good partner for VIY!
