"I mean, offense not intentional, but you guys don't have that much Intelligence. ”

――Ye Wei, blog log "Essay"

The day before the Oscar nominations were announced, the media had already been in an uproar because of Ye Wei's response to the controversy of the draft.

Movie fans love this, Ye Wei is another classic quote.

Before saying it, I first said "No-Offense", "I didn't want to offend you", "I didn't mean that", and then the next sentence was to offend you, but there was no way to refute it, I was so speechless that I couldn't swallow it, and I had to swallow it, and my face was colorful.

Intelligence is such a cunning word, it can refer to intelligence, VIY means "you don't know the draft well, you think they are not good", this is a kind of saying, because of lack of understanding, causing misunderstanding.

But intelligence can also mean intelligence, "You people are so retarded, how stupid do you have to be to think they are bad? Don't be angry, no offense!"

But the blacks jumped to their feet in anger, but they couldn't say anything.

In media reports, it is impossible to use headlines such as "VIY bombards the doubters for being mentally retarded" and "arrogant remarks of geniuses", at most it is a mockery, and it is better to report the original sentence of the original text so that people can experience and understand it for themselves: "VIY: You-guys-don't-have-that-much-intelligence." ”

From "I will never apologize for this" to "You don't have enough intelligence", the media and the public have witnessed Ye Wei's growth, and in the past two years, he has been in the news again and again, from young to tall and young and masculine, from a suspected meteor to a pop culture idol.

Genius, bad boy, sunshine golden boy......

"Dance of Angels", "The Wedding is Coming", "Exorcism Video", "Little Sunshine Beauty"

People ushered in the moment of the Oscar nomination announcement with this young man who is about to turn 18 years old.

Two years ago, no one thought that Ye Wei and LMS would be the favorites of this Oscar, and a year ago, not many people had such expectations.

Even three months ago, before the LMS was released, there were so many people who doubted that the film would mess up.

On January 31 at 5:30 a.m. Western Time, the Oscar nominations will be announced at the Samuel Goldwin Theater in Beverly Hills, where Academy President Sid Ganis and Academy Commissioner Mira Sovino will read the list together.

There is Ang Lee, there is Ye Wei, this year's Oscars are very Chinese, Mira Sovino, a 38-year-old veteran second-generation graduate of Harvard University's Department of East Asian Languages and Literature, is a bachelor of Chinese literature, and can speak fluent Chinese.

It was up to her to read out the list of possible historiography, demonstrating the ingenuity of the Academy.

A moment of glory, or a time of loss?

......

Early in the morning, whether in the east where it was already morning or in the west where it was still dawn, many people got up early to watch TV.

For the film industry, this is one of the most important moments of the year, whether a film can finally be nominated for an Oscar, after countless efforts from project initiation to release, and the impact of a long awards season...... are waiting for the results.

Brentwood, the Ye family was already lively, Ye Haogen woke up his wife, children and Toto, and the whole family waited on the sofa in front of the TV, there were only a few minutes left.

Ye Wei is also there, after going to see Duoduo to learn the piano yesterday, the whole family went to dinner and watch a movie together, and then he went home for the night. How can a parent really drive the child away, as soon as he is cheeky, his parents will be soft-hearted.

At this time, he silently pressed his mobile phone to read the text messages, and he was a little upset when he should have been extremely excited and looking forward to the moment......

"Brother, why do you always wear gloves?" Duoduo next to her was about to pull his black gloves, and she found out yesterday.

"For the sake of fashion. Ye Wei looked at his mother, and asked if he could show the tattoo to Duoduo?

Gu Qiao hurriedly called Duoduo away: "Baby, let your brother stay alone." Ye Haogen suddenly shouted: "It's going to be announced!"

A melodious Oscar background sounded, and NBC broadcast the reveal live on the TV screen, with Sid Ganis in a black suit and Mira Sovino in a red dress standing behind a transparent podium, smiling at the camera.

"Mother, you were much hotter than Sovino when you were younger. Ye Wei smiled at his mother and said, "You didn't go to the movie, otherwise you would be reading it now." ”

Gu Qiao didn't ease his attitude because of his son's kind words, he didn't look at him, and said in Mandarin: "Clever words, fresh and benevolent." ”

“FINE。 Ye Wei raised his hands in surrender. Duoduo learned to speak Chinese to Toto: "Heal people first!"

"Your mom is spicy now, too. Ye Haogen said, continue to be a peacemaker.

The list began to be read out on TV, the living room was quiet, and soon, there were bursts of excited cheers, mainly Ye Haogen and Duoduo shouting, Toto ran excitedly, and Gu Qiao shook his head and smiled helplessly.

And Ye Wei had a smile on his face, looked down at his phone, and didn't know where his mind had drifted.

Among them, "Little Sunshine Beauty" was shortlisted: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Score.

There are not many surprises in this list of nominees, after a series of weather vanes, major union awards, the Oscars are almost just a kind of cash.

However, there are still situations that make the media shout unexpectedly, "Crash"!

It didn't get much in the early stages of the awards season and was never a hit, with only two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay at the Golden Globes. Today, however, it received 6 nominations, and unlike Memoirs of a Geisha, which is full of technical awards, it has nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor.

jumped on the stage of wrestling with "Brokeback Mountain" and "Little Sunshine Beauty".

What's going on?

Jon Fairheimer and others were ecstatic and effective!!

The Oscars are the Oscars, different from the Golden Globes, and unlike any other awards, they are the relatively fairest film awards in the United States, and one of the reasons is that there are many judges. Lionsgate adopted the most straightforward strategy, frantically copying and distributing preview DVDs, sending out 160,000 DVDs, and having one for the movie theater sweeping aunts, which created this result.

No company has ever been so crazy before, and it really dumbfounded the PR peers.

"Crash", a film released in May in the middle of the year, a film released by a completely independent company, "suddenly" squeezed into a big hit.

This year is destined to be a big year for independent films, not counting the big group of independent brands like Focus, as well as DreamWorks Legacy LMS, and Lionsgate's "Crash".

However, whether it is the Associated Press, AFP, United Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, from the East Coast to the West Coast, from the English network Yahoo, AOL to the Chinese network Sina, Tencent, etc., can not fail to report a name, Ye Wei.

A celebratory moment belonging to the honeys, shouting this exciting and exciting name, on the English Internet, VIY, Chinese Internet, Brother Wei!

Supporters love this to death, the Golden Globe Awards, the Union Awards can't compare to this, it's far behind, Oscar nominations.

The youngest Oscar nominee for Best Producer

The youngest Oscar nominee for Best Director!

At 17 years and 346 days, he broke the 24 years and 44 days of John Singleton, the black director of "Block Boy", 6 years earlier, to a point where it is difficult to surpass.

M. Knight Shyamalan, who had been fifth, dropped to sixth, and the Asian record of 29 years and 193 days was shattered.

As a result, DreamWorks' PR strategy also worked. In the past few months, LMS's perfect reputation, shocking box office, and successes in terms of wind vanes, Ye Wei's fame has reached a peak, and there are few people in the public and even fewer in the industry who will say "Who is Ye Wei?" and "I don't know LMS".

That's the equivalent of 100,000 preview DVDs, and DreamWorks has distributed a lot of preview DVDs, and the judges have all of them.

It was a public relations lobbying with millions of real money, and there were many big names who publicly expressed their support and privately canvassed for votes.

The momentum has long been that it is right to choose to nominate Ye, and it is wrong not to nominate him, which is corrupt racial discrimination and age discrimination.

Not only the film critics, but the whole society is staring, the whole world is staring, what choice will the Oscars make for a movie as perfect as "Little Sunshine Beauty"?

21% actors, 8% producers, 8% industry executives, 7% sound engineers, 7% screenwriters, 6% directors, 6% art directors, 6% PR, 6% short film editors and animators, 5% visual effects artists, 4% product designers, 4% soundtrack artists, 4% editors, 3% cinematographers, 2% documentary filmmakers, and 2% makeup stylists.

The final majority of the 100% of the more than 5,600 judges was just a natural choice.

But everything is accidental, maybe just a few votes away from it, maybe it won't work with one of the 16 groups.

Ye Wei?

Although Ye Wei said "Hollywood is going to die", but Hollywood is a concept that is not aimed at anyone, the Oscars shout "Hollywood is going to die" all year round, except for special years, high box office will drag down the prospect of a film winning awards, the academy is not Hollywood, the Oscars are not summer vacations, it is awards season.

Although Ye Wei can't get along with some media, celebrities are just normal, but they have nothing to do with the unions. He didn't end up editing, but the best edit didn't make the cut.

Although SAG recently wanted to investigate whether Ye Wei had violated the rules, he had a very good relationship with the actors, and the little genius was famous for respecting and helping the actors.

The largest group of actors supported him, and the most important group of directors supported him, with the two most critical supports for the nomination, another miracle in film history was born.

No matter how it is made, no matter what the process, the dust has settled on this year's Oscar nominations.

Everyone knows that Ye Wei has no hope of winning the award in the end, but the nomination is enough for all supporters to cheer, enough for VIY's reputation to reach new heights, and enough for the media to contact his team to do interviews and take photos......

There was a commotion.

※※

was shortlisted for the Oscars and made history, Ye Wei was also happy, but he was not so happy, and he did not have the passion when he spoke again and again in the past two years.

On the contrary, there is some amazement, he is like Richard Dreyfus said, the dream has come true, the happiness does not know where it has gone, he knows the reason.

In fact, since early in the morning, Ye Wei has been drowned out by Daohe's voice, text messages, emails, phone calls, Lev They are screaming, and Master Jiya has also changed his coldness for many days, laughing and saying: "You fucking bastard, I will never be able to catch up with you for this achievement, yes yes, I am 19 years old." ”

Family and friends were ecstatic, colleagues were excited, Herman Wright, Gary Gozman, Hanks, Julia Roberts called and laughed, "Congratulations, stinky boy! I don't care what your private life is, the new movie must continue to be filmed well!"

After Emma called, she sent a hundred more text messages, "I'm so excited!! after a while, "Wow, !!", after a while, "You're incredible!"

Ten young girls, countless people sent congratulatory text messages, and everyone was more excited than when the Golden Globe Awards nominations were announced, except for ......

Ye Wei received a text message from Nina: "VIY, congratulations, you did it, I'm happy for you!" He replied, "Thank you." "I typed a lot of words, but I deleted them all. What do you say, you can no longer hear her sweet laughter, "Yunik, I'm so, so, so proud of you......"

There were no text messages from that girl either, nothing, no jokes, no laughter, no contact exchanges, no, no, no ......

Whenever I have these thoughts, I laugh at myself, you're not a bastard, you're a fucking idiot.

From early morning to evening, Ye Wei was busy all day, busy with the preliminary preparations for "Soul Surfer", busy with interviews with media on the phone, and attended the LMS crew celebration dinner in the evening. This dinner is not for the online staff, the celebrities are not available, but for the offline, administrative and public relations staff.

After dinner, he wandered the streets in an empty sports car, to Brentwood, to Beverly Hills, to many places, and didn't know what to expect.

It was almost early in the morning before I returned to my accommodation in Santa Monica.

I went to the bathroom, walked to the bedroom to sleep, just turned on the room light, Ye Wei was stunned, Amy Rosen was lying on the bed on her side in pink silk pajamas, looking at her head with her left hand, her beautiful face was full of smiles, "I knew you would come back." ”

"Hey. Ye Wei was helpless, and sent a text message to her saying that she couldn't come back, Amy had the key to the house, and he didn't know how, so he gave her the key.

"Congratulations, Oscar nominee for Best Director. Amy smiled and sat up, lifted the thin quilt, and showed her graceful posture in front of her.

"It's not a winner. Ye Wei walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and was immediately kissed by her on the face, and he smiled: "Our public relations strategy has given up on the best film and best director, and we will go all out to impact the script and supporting actors." I don't have an opinion, Ang Lee and "Brokeback Mountain" should have won the award. ”

Amy continued to kiss him without speaking, caressing his shoulder and neck, her eyes burning with brilliant fire.

"Aimanniu, at what age did you start learning piano?" Ye Wei asked, not responding.

"3 and a half years old. Amy leaned against his shoulder.

"Oh, my sister is 5 years old, and she started learning the piano yesterday, but ......" Ye Wei was funny when she thought about it, and said with a smile: "I don't think she can learn for a few days, she can't sit down, one moment like this, another time like that, the piano is not suitable for her at all." ”

"Your sister is very lively?" Amy asked, Ye Wei smiled: "Yes, it's more and more like when I was a child, I also learned the piano when I was 5 years old, I didn't learn it, I wanted to play it when I saw it, the piano teacher said, 'Oh my God, he's Beethoven, he's Mozart, he's Chopin! Take him away, I have nothing to teach him.' Stop, my piano!!'"

Amy was amused, "Do you have ADHD?"

Ye Wei's face turned cold in an instant, pushed her away, stood up and said, "I didn't." What's wrong with ADHD? Do you think people with ADHD want to have ADHD!?want to take medication every day!?damn !! every day"

"I'm just ......" Amy looked dazed, "I'm just asking, most people can be quiet when they learn the piano, and the piano can make people quiet." I'm sorry. ”

"Amy. Ye Wei took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, "It's nothing, idiot piano." ”

He sat back on the bed again, Amy didn't ask him why he was angry, and he was not angry and yelled, but leaned over and kissed him on the face, and said softly: "Don't be angry today, be happy!" It's not because of Oscar, today is the last day of January, you have to be in a good mood to welcome February, otherwise February will be unlucky." ”

Ye Wei suddenly hugged her and violently responded to her kiss, her enthusiasm ......

......

The night outside the window is hazy and intoxicating, and the bedroom is very quiet after the passion.

The white quilt did not cover Ye Wei's naked upper body, and the tattoos on his hands and small arms were already scabbed, almost good, eight inky black Chinese characters: Guilty in the sky, there is nothing to pray for

The flush on Amy's face had not faded, and she leaned against his body, pulling his palms to look at his fingers, looking at the scabbed English letters, thinking about something.

"Amy Grey, how can people get older and more stupid?" Ye Wei suddenly said aloud, letting her fiddle with her hands, the soft warmth of skin against each other came bursting, and he closed his eyes and said, "I can't figure out more and more clearly, what is your belief, your persistence, your strength, your needs......

It's a lot more complicated than you start thinking. People change, I do, I'm getting worse and worse. ”

"No, I think you're good. Amy stared at his fingers and said, "It's a little bit of a spent, but you don't like to go to nightclubs and parties, and others shouldn't blame you." ”

Ye Wei opened his eyes and looked at her, "What do you think?"

Amy smiled at him, "I can see that you're going through a big change in your life, and you're quite confused." Ye Wei laughed, closed his eyes again, and the more he laughed, the funnier he became: "Hahaha!"

"Ordinary people go through life changes, what about you, VIY, how much money do you have now? 20 million? 20 million dollars at 18 years old......"

"17 years and 346 days, no, 347 days. Ye Wei interrupted with a smile.

Amy ignored his interruption and continued to say gently: "18 years old has 20 million dollars, just nominated for an Oscar, the whole world praises you, doing three film projects, you have a lot of power, countless girls want to sleep with you, good girls, bad girls, flesh and blood...... You sleep one a day and can not repeat for a year. Did the accusers of you really think about it?"

She leaned in and kissed his silent face, "When there is none, anyone can say what I do, I must be a noble person, I must have nothing to do with sin." When you really have it, even if it's just a few words of flattery, how many people will be triumphant? Who can say that when you have what you have now, you won't be confused?"

"But, you're a big bastard, but you've done a good job. Amy blinked, "I want you to be better." ”

"Oh, what about you?" Ye Wei looked at her, "You're not confused?"

"I'm already confused, I'm tired, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll be ruined by fame and fortune. Amy stared at him, "So I quit." But you can't quit, men can't quit. ”

Ye Wei didn't say anything and looked at the ceiling.

Amy sat up, exposed to the air. She pulled his hands and looked at them in reverse, only to see that it was RUIN-EVIL, and suddenly realized that if he looked at his hands face to face, others would see it, it would be EVIL-RUIN, and he would see it himself, it would be RUIN-EVIL.

"I see what that means. Amy let go of his hand and lay down again, leaning against him, "Your tattoo." ”

"What?" Ye Wei was interested.

"UIN is you and Nina Dubov, UNIQUE+NINA, right. Amy said with a smile, Ye Wei silently raised her left fist, and Amy said again: "VIL is you and Lily Collins, VIGOR+LILY, right." And RE. Her eyes flashed with a hint of loss, "I GUESS IT'S REAL, AND REGRET." ”

REAL, real, sincere, genuine

REGRET, regret, regret, sorry

"Hahaha!" Ye Wei couldn't stop laughing, looked at Amy and chuckled, and reached out to grab her, "Amanniu, you are very smart, but unfortunately not this time, I'll explain it to you." ”

HE CLENCHED HIS FISTS AND PUT THEM TOGETHER IN TURN, TEN FINGERS RUINEVIL, HIS FACE FULL OF CYNICISM, AND SAID: "RE IS THE FIRST AND LAST LETTERS OF RUDE (RUDE, FURIOUS), SEE NEV, THIS IS NEVER! ”

"I guessed wrong!" Amy suddenly exclaimed, "R is Rossum, E is Emmy, Amy Rosen, no matter what happened before, your number one now is me, right?" ”

She laughed when she said it, and Ye Wei also laughed, "No, Amy Grey, remember, don't be so serious......"

"I don't have a good memory. Amy rolled over him, her long brown hair falling down, and she leaned down to kiss him. Piano?" Ye Wei asked, not responding.

"3 and a half years old. Amy leaned against his shoulder.

"Oh, my sister is 5 years old, and she started learning the piano yesterday, but ......" Ye Wei was funny when she thought about it, and said with a smile: "I don't think she can learn for a few days, she can't sit down, one moment like this, another time like that, the piano is not suitable for her at all." ”
