Chapter 196: Ah Jin didn't talk nonsense

September 6 (the first Monday in September) is Labor Day in North America, a national holiday in the United States and Canada, and people like to travel with their families on this day.

Ye Wei did not go out with Dubov's house, but "went to Aijing Pavilion to visit relatives" and actually flew to New York.

His identity and secrecy are also facing a crisis, because in addition to work, this trip to New York also has to go to the 2o5 spring and summer New York fashion cycle that opened on the 7th, and sit on the runway of the show to expose it; Then I went to the 2nd Toronto International Film Festival (No. 18), which opened on the 9th, and went around a few times, all of which were activities arranged by Brian.

The trip was a bit hectic, and the school had to take a few days off.

In Ye Wei's opinion, the most important thing on this trip is the dinner with Alan Hejin. After this period of negotiations, from the agent to Akin himself, Heller also had to step back from the line of fire, and he as the first producer and director would do the key interviews.

As a semi-independent producer, thanks to Hollywood's expertise, he can now see the "scouting reports" of these well-known actors, not of their public image, but of the industry's interpersonal relationship research company, including the filmmaker's deeds, conditions, personality analysis, etc., so that the producer can better deal with them.

Although it is impossible for everyone to be thoroughly explained by a report, everyone will change, but there are still some uses, such as his report may say that he is "impulsive", not all right, but to say that he "loves to joke", then it can't be wrong, when chatting with him, it is okay to talk and laugh more, and don't say more than half a word in front of people with strict personalities.

In Ah Jin's long report, Ye Wei noticed the key words "generosity, humor, affinity, no nonsense, easy to get excited or nervous, a lot of money (successful business, creative power), a lot of friends, like to help others, easy to fall into using love and charm to help others fight for power".

What are the factors for Ah Jin to join? What are the factors for Ah Jin not to join?

Obviously, the salary is not, and if you are bent on making money, you are a fool to stare at a project with a budget of 6o yuan; He didn't feel how eager Ah Jin was, but he certainly wasn't without desire, considering his current credibility for awards, it wasn't an award; That can only be interest.

An interest in scripted stories, an interest in genius teenage films.

According to Heller, Ah Jin likes the story of "Little Lady of the Sunshine" very much, and the agent also thinks that the role of "grandpa" is 100% suitable for him, and he also has a suitable schedule of 2o5 years.

In fact, mixed into the realm of Ah Jin, even if "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" is made into a bad movie, it will not hurt his acting career, this is a reward for playing a supporting role, as long as he does his own performance, his reputation will not fall. That said, no one likes to spend a lot of time and effort acting in a bad movie.

Ah Jin is thinking about nothing more than whether the genius boy is worthy of his name, Ye Wei thinks that his professional ability has been fully proven, and the question is only whether he can control that new story.

The meeting place was the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, which was also the place where Ye Wei stayed on this trip.

On the night of the 7th, Spring/Summer Fashion Week has begun, the Big Apple is brighter than the night sky, and the bustling scene can be seen everywhere in Manhattan, where there are Broadway cabaret theaters and there are fashion shows in Bryan Park...... There is a lot of traffic on the road, and waiters in the hotel's restaurant walk around.

The lights are bright and warm, and the scattered white tables are filled with customers sitting at each other's tables, each talking about something.

"Mr. Akin, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Hehe, I'm happy too. ”

At a dining table on the side, Ye Wei saw Alan Hejin who came alone, a 7O-year-old white old man, with only sparse white on both sides of his head, and his eyebrows were also white, and his face with loose skin had some age spots, and the corners of his eyes were full of crow's feet, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes still had a sharp spirit.

has been in the film industry for almost 6 years, and has gone through the changes of the times, actors, producers, directors, and screenwriters have all done it, and they have also acted and directed on Broadway.

In this interview, if anyone wants to be stunned, it will only be Ye Wei, who is two years younger than Ah Jin's granddaughter.

Ah Jin sat down on the chair at the table, looked at the little ghost on the opposite side, and suddenly said, "We don't look like ** people are connecting." ”

"Haha" Ye Wei laughed, "Anyway, I'm not, I'm a non-party person, although it's 2o4 now, I really don't have much interest in politics." ”

He knew what kind of joke Ah Jin was making, Ah Jin's father David Ha Kim was a painter and writer, a Russian immigrant, in 196 during the Red Panic, Ah Jin's parents were accused of being ** people, so they were fired from their jobs, and life was hard, and later Ah Jin starred in the satirical and communist-phobic "The Russians Are Coming" can be described as his true colors

"Just kidding. Ah Jin said, "I don't love politics either." ”

I knew that the old man was a humorous person, and he was still surprised by Ye Wei's joke, if he didn't do his homework well, he might have been stunned just now, Ye Wei smiled again: "I don't know Russia, I know that China is doing very well, I go every year, and it gets better and better every year." ”

Both of them don't like politics, but they talk about politics that is a taboo topic.

Ah Jin asked about China with interest, Ye Wei knew what to say, and after talking for a while, he felt strange in his heart, the old man didn't seem to care about the little beauty of the sun at all, saying this and that was talking about some unrelated topics, he thought that this was not an opportunity to show his maturity, so he followed Ah Jin's topic

is not as cautious as before, the same hard work, Ye Wei can't not pay attention to Ah Jin, because Ah Jin is the key person.

No matter what actor you want to invite, whether you are a superstar or not, there must be a beginning, a breakthrough point to solve the problem, that is, above the level of well-known actors, someone is willing to join this feature film directed by teenagers.

Ah Jin is undoubtedly a very good, very convincing and influential beginning, such old rivers and lakes have joined and agreed, this matter is not child's play

If Akin, Hanks, Roberts, and anyone else would have their confidence and interest in him greatly increased.

So Ye Wei did a lot of homework, ready to lobby the old man well, but up to now, the prepared things have not been used, after talking about China and talking about Broadway for a while, and then gradually chatting about his youth, and even marriage, Ah Jin started his first marriage at the age of 21 and only lasted 6 years, the second marriage lasted more than 3 years, and the third marriage is almost 1o years now.

No nonsense? This one doesn't seem accurate

"I love your public rejection of the apology statement, that thing piqued my interest in your films. Ah Jin suddenly changed the topic and finally talked about the movie.

Ye Wei was cutting the steak and eating, smiled when he heard the words, and said calmly: "I just don't want to be a person who is not myself, I don't want to send myself to the psychiatrist's clinic, what kind of medicine to take, it's a mess." And now that I'm at ease, that's enough. ”

"It's a good mentality. Ah Jin's old face smiled, "They all say that Hollywood is harmful, but in fact, fame and fortune are harmful, but there are more stupid people in Hollywood."

"Haha, fame and fortune, that's right, I'm a little too young at this time, I don't dare to say that I've been fine, I can only try not to be a fool. ”

Ye Wei said with a little emotion, and Ah Jin said meaningfully: "Women will make people stupid, we know that we have to be careful, and in the end we will be stupid." Ye Wei nodded silently, "Allen, what you said really makes sense." ”

"Times are changing, and nothing is going to change. Ah Jin moved the knife to his steak and said, "Weige, I watched "The Wedding is Coming" and filmed it very well. ”

Feeling that the other party wanted to talk about business, Ye Wei immediately put the preparation to handy: "Thank you, it's in the past, how to shoot a good little beauty in the sun" is the only thing I think about now, one of the points is that you will act, this is a perfect match." What a charismatic old bastard, he has his philosophy of life, casual, spontaneous, carefree, loving his family, no matter what they are, which is the complete opposite of 'Richard, winner and loser', is the real mentor of the story.

And his gentleness towards his granddaughter makes him even more cute, kind, and individual, and it is also the opposition to the shortcomings of drug addiction, lust, and vulgarity, which personally highlights one of the themes of the story, everyone cannot simply be divided into winners or losers, everyone has shortcomings and shining points. ”

"Uh-huh. Hearing this, Ah Jin nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll join, you have my intention to join." ”

What the...... Ye Wei was really stunned, happiness came too suddenly, it was unbelievable, and he thought that the old man would ask some questions and think about it when he went back, but that's it?

He slowly felt excited, "Wow, I heard you right, right?"

"No, I'm joining. Ah Jin's face seemed to have a trace of impatience, "You are obviously not a stupid person, what else do you need to think?" Young man, I am 7o years old, and I will live a long life when I die. ”

"Very happy" Ye Wei was overjoyed, no nonsense was too accurate, and said with a smile: "I really found it, that's it, brother, that's it"

He also understood why Ah Jin talked about things and things before, to see if he was a smart person or a stupid person, fortunately, he could talk about all kinds of topics and won Ah Jin's trust.

"I'm so happy that I'm living to be able to act in a movie that I've never done before. Ah Jin said with a smile.

With the verbal commitment to join, the specific contract will be discussed in detail by the producer and the agent, including terms such as salary, schedule, treatment, etc., as far as this case is concerned, both of them know that 99% of the time will be done without 1oo.

The next day, Ye Wei, a project that has not been updated for a long time and has disappeared for half a month, suddenly appeared in the eyes of the media:

Alan River Kim joins Nikko Little Beauty"
