Sea breeze in Santa Monica, third floor of Cheyenne Corporate Headquarters; Rifkin sat behind a high-end solid wood desk, his long face was full of smiles, he picked up a few contract documents and handed them to Ye Wei across the table, and said with a smile: "Boy, happy cooperation, like you said, soon, the whole world will be shocked." ”

"Haha, nice to work with. Ye Wei happily took the large stack of contracts and looked through them casually, one was a joint venture production contract between the two parties, and the other two were employment contracts for the project producer and director.

In fact, when it comes to the signing step, it is a process, because the previous stage of formulating the contract is the time for both parties to discuss. Each of these three contracts was over fifty pages, and he was allowed to read it by himself, and he couldn't understand many places, so he brought Salton's lawyer to support him.

However, he looked at it for a while, and didn't ask anything, and Salton sat next to him like a human, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"If you see it's okay, sign it, and we'll move on to the next step. Reefkin said something happy: "Lovett is already active, Nickelodeon intends to broadcast "Angel Dance" in prime time, and at the end of the month, millions of children will see your short film, hehe." ”

"Cool!" Ye Wei couldn't help but be stunned, Nickelodeon Channel (ninet) is a cable children's channel, from 2 years old to 14 years old will like to watch it, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is its masterpiece, he also grew up watching Nickelodeon, children's love determines whether a person can become a youth idol.

He was confident that "Dance of Angels" would work, but wondered if it was for commercial use.

"It's out of the way, it's a public welfare broadcast, and all the proceeds will be donated to charity. Refkin replied.

"That's fine. Ye Wei nodded excitedly, it's great, all the hard work is finally going to bear sweet fruits, it's really a bit dreamy!

Director! Producer! I can't wait to think about it, he can't help but flip through the joint venture contract and turn to the part about the project director, "Fang Ye Wei of the Dream Chasing Alliance will participate in the creative affairs of the project director team. ”

That's nice...... But......

Something suddenly flashed through his mind, it was a line of the prank letter "You are no longer a director", participation, team...... His heart tightened, and he thought of a not very good idea: the director of this part of the project is Ye Wei who has no clear project at all!

The first assistant director, the second assistant director, and even the third and fourth are also part of the team and are also involved in creative affairs.

He turned back to the part of the project producer, which is the same, and did not explicitly say that the first producer is Ye Wei, but only said that he will participate in the affairs of the production team......

Ye Wei suppressed the thoughts of those villains, looked at Lawyer Soldton, and then looked at Rifkin, and said with a smile: "I have a problem, the contract does not clearly state that the director and first producer are me, I think it is better to write it clearly." ”

"Hehe!" Reefkin changed his sitting posture slightly, raising his hand to touch his chin, "Boy, no, this is like Lovett's image building plan for you, they won't write everything into the contract, these are our private agreements, and there is also an employment contract." ”

Attorney Salton also had doubts, "It is best to make it clear that it can be used as a binding clause, and we were a little negligent in this point when we made the contract before." ”

After all, he is not a gold medal lawyer, and he seems to be quietly led by the nose because of the unequal strength of the whole thing, and because of the unequal strength of the whole thing, he is subconsciously too humble.

"I'll take a look......" Ye Wei opened two more employment contracts, and after a while, his doubts rose instead of falling, because the employment contract had a termination clause, and he didn't even need compensation, and he could be kicked off with the article "unprofessional behavior that hurt the project", what does this mean, how can it be considered unprofessional?

Looking around, I couldn't find any guarantee that when the film was released, the names of the producer and director displayed on the screen were Ye Wei.

He thought of the contract in focus, thought of Kevin Thomas, and don't make any possible retarded mistakes! Don't be blinded by joy, especially when the mysterious letter appears.

"Arnold, I need a clear clause that guarantees that the plan will not change. Ye Wei said very seriously, "So everyone can rest assured, why not?"

Reefkin's smile lightened slightly, "That's not in order, boy, it's okay for now, you can rest assured." ”

"No, our project is not a regular project, I need to. Ye Wei's face was full of sincerity, and his heart began to be anxious, because the more he noticed that something was wrong, "I don't understand why not?"

"It's a hassle to remake a contract, and we have to do a lot of work for lawyers, and it takes a long time......," Rifkin slurred, and knew it was a lie when he heard it.

"Don't bother, just add a clause. Lawyer Salton said, and Ye Wei frowned, "I don't want to joke about this, please!"

Rifkin was silent for a while, there was no longer a smile on his long face, and his eyes showed a look of disappointment, "Boy, just these three contracts, the only thing you have to do now is to sign them, take them home and let your parents sign them too, and then hand them over to us." ”

"I want that clause!" Ye Wei's voice was a little anxious.

"You won't get it. Riffkin's face grew darker. Ye Wei asked anxiously: "Why?" Reefkin shook his head, like looking at a willful crying child, and sighed: "Don't be like this, you will make it difficult for everyone, understand?"

"No, I don't understand!" Ye Wei was panicked and angry, and couldn't help but punch the desk desktop, the letter was real...... How can it be true......

Refkin still looked concerned about him, as if he was bitter: "As a person who has been mixed in the film industry for many years, a person who has been mixed in adult society for many years, my advice to you is that you have to learn to play stupid, you have to understand that only by suffering some losses now will you have a better future." ”

"What are you talking about...... Ye Wei's heart kept sinking, and his voice trembled a little: "Has anything changed?"

"Sign the contract, and you will naturally know later!"

Ye Wei said loudly: "Then, fire me immediately, and give me the title of assistant producer and assistant director?

"Some things are just born. Rifkin spread his hands helplessly.

"Is this what Mr. Willis meant?" Ye Wei narrowed his eyes, and a sullen anger gathered in his chest, "Does he know? Who does this mean......? Who means?!"

Rifkin didn't answer, only said: "Sign obediently, it's easy to say anything, I promise you, you will definitely not suffer, how can the Dream Chaser Alliance have a 10% stake, this is clear enough, right? Boy, this is a project starring Bruce Willis!

No, if there is one place in the contract to deceive people, there can be two places to deceive people...... Ye Wei turned his head to look at Lawyer Sulton, and suddenly understood what the phrase "don't trust anyone" meant, and whether the current situation was part of their plan? Who can trust?

Looked at by this sharp gaze, Attorney Salton's face was full of shame, "However, I really didn't participate, it's because my level is low...... Almost let them get their hands on ......"

"Yes, it's none of his business. Rifkin shrugged, "Boy, in addition to shares, you'll be an idol." ”

"Who cares about idols, all I care about is making movies!!" Ye Wei's heart ached, trying his best to suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want now, tell me clearly directly, don't play such despicable means to cheat my project! Impossible, if it weren't for me as the producer and director, no one would have been able to take away "Little Sunshine Beauty"!"

"Hey!" Rifkin shook his head, his tone changed again, as cold as an enemy: "Boy, this is your own choice, everyone's face is not good-looking, and you also choose." ”

He picked up the landline on the table, pressed a number, and said, "That kid is here, he won't sign, you can come and get it." ”

Who...... Ye Wei took a deep breath, like an angry bull who was tied to death, so angry that he wanted to lift the desk, but he couldn't move, he could only clench his fists and tremble.

What do they want to do, these people, what are these people, what do they want to do......

There was a dead silence in the office, and it wasn't long before the door opened and Richard Lovett walked in. He was dressed in a gray casual suit, wearing round-framed glasses, and he was still a high school teacher, but his face was obviously a little cold and impatient.

Before he sat down, he had already reprimanded Ye Wei and said, "Boy, why are you so disobedient, what capital do you have to be so disobedient?"

"Sir, if you have anything to say directly, don't talk this nonsense......" Ye Wei's eyes were like burning flames.

All of a sudden, these so-called big men, who he once thought were close mentors, all of them turned into poisonous snakes, spitting letters, and were about to bite him to death and devour him at any moment......

Lowetra crossed a chair, sat down on the other side, looked at Ye Wei, and suddenly smiled: "Sometimes, I really hate you as a dream chaser, obviously so smart, but you just don't know how to be smarter, what dreams you talk about all day long, in the end it will waste your talent and your youth!"

When you become someone, you spit in my face, and I don't dare to scold you, but who are you now? You are nothing! If you continue to make trouble, you will not get anything!"

"You just need to ...... Sue me the truth!" Ye Wei couldn't hold back anymore.

Lovett leaned back in his chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said in a homely manner as he turned, "Things have changed, David Lind, co-chairman of Focus Films, you know him, right?"

He invited an Oscar-level director to direct the project, and I won't tell you who it is, but the man can bring "Little Sunshine Beauty" to the Oscar stage! They had dinner with Bruce, and Bruce changed his mind.

You know an actor whose acting skills are worthy of the Oscar for Best Actor, but because he is positioned as an action superstar by the public, he can't even get a decent award nomination, "Hart's War" doesn't, "Return My Innocence" doesn't...... Not even "The Sixth Sense"! Do you know what it feels like?

I know! Bruce has been reluctant all these years, he dreamed of going to the Oscars when he was a Broadway substitute, and he has been waiting for such an opportunity, yes, you need a chance, and he needs a chance! a chance to make his dream come true.

Now that the opportunity has come, he doesn't want to miss it, and he can't miss it, and if he misses it, maybe he won't have another chance in this life. Today in March, he's 5o years old! Boy, he doesn't like to hear that, but it's not a good age, he's getting old, he's not Eastwood, he's afraid he's getting old, he can't wait any longer. ”

Hearing this, Ye Wei's expression changed again and again, and something was completely shattered, "You mean, Mr. Willis...... I know you're trying to lie to me, no, he's got a ...... to do too."

Rifkin on the other side shrugged, while Lovett on the side smiled, as if amused by his childishness, and said, "Don't use that word, even if it is, it's a white lie, we just went around in such a circle to make you feel better, and you should be grateful for that." ”

"Hahaha!!" Ye Wei laughed angrily, almost laughing out of tears, "Gentlemen, are you crazy, the script is mine!"

Lovett smiled and raised his hand, "Boy, listen to me, although your position has changed, but the plan of 'Genius Boy Ye Wei', we will continue, Bruce really thinks about you, and has repeatedly emphasized this point to us, and you can't let you suffer."

So with this win-win approach, the short film is pushed, the column is opened, and the romance hype is canceled, I have investigated, the public is really not interested in you, and the combination of Asian boys and white girls may even have the opposite effect, so that you are all ridiculed, and if the woman can't stand it and dumps you, then you are a loser, whether you want it or not, this plan does not apply.

"Little Sunshine Beauty" will have your place, assistant producer, guest actor, good title, if the big director agrees, you will still be a guest director, let you shoot one or two scenes, not necessarily put it in the public version, but there must be in the dVd.

In this way, you cooperate with us to do media publicity, which is good for you, good for the project and good for everyone. ”

"Haha, you guys are so funny, hahaha......" Ye Wei laughed vigorously and looked around at them, "The best of both worlds! That's a nice thing to say, give me a few useless titles, squeeze out a little bit of my publicity value, and then what? The pure talent route is not applicable! And Willis cooperated with the big director to go to the Oscar stage hand in hand, the dream has come true, it's so good!"

"You can rest assured, we will definitely create your image of a high-IQ talent, little Woody Allen, such an Asian boy, everyone prefers. Lovett assured.

"Woody Allen is a scumbag who fucks his daughter, don't compare him to me!" Ye Wei suddenly roared, "High IQ?!A fool would agree to these bullshit!"

"Calm down, boy, look at it, that's why we use white lies, we will continue to work together in the future, you make a fuss like this, who is good-looking?"

Lovett shook his head again, and said earnestly: "I'll teach you another rule of the film industry, this industry is actually very small, the higher you go, the more like this, the people you face today, you will meet them in the future, more than once! If you don't want to be kicked out of Hollywood, be polite, even if you are angry, you have to endure and laugh." ”

"I don't want to slap you a few times now, but look at me, am I angry?" he smiled and raised his palm, taking a few air gasps.

"I agree, it's an iron rule. Rifkin nodded.

Ye Wei gritted his teeth, if he hadn't endured it, he would have already pounced on them and beaten these despicable guys......

"You don't want to agree, the question is, why do you refuse?" Lowitt laughed again, shaking Erlang's legs slightly, "Boy, I'll give you an analysis."

As long as you agree, you will at least be a little talent, and your capital will become more and more, so maybe it won't take five years for you to really become a feature film director, but it's not "Little Sunshine Beauty", when you are only 2o years old, and the future is bright.

And if you refuse, CAA won't sign you, PR won't sign you, talent, genius, these are always just beautiful fantasies. Worst of all, by the time you're 2o, you're at most a film school student. ”

Lowwitt paused as he spoke, and his tone gradually became fierce:

"Because if you are stubborn, it will make a lot of big people angry, I'm just a little person, but David Lind Bruce is the big director or who is the CAA? all the people who are hurt by your stupidity!

Maybe, I mean, maybe, you don't know when you're going to be punished with a little bit, do you think you can find any big people who value you and invest in you? You want to do overseas pre-sales? You want to raise money? You will be strange to see that a company will ignore you!

It only takes a few phone calls, and we don't even have to do any tricks, do we need to? Do we need to suppress you, resist you? Who are you?

Boy, be smart! It's not time yet, I've said it many times, and it's not the time for you to spill!"

At the same time, Lawyer Salton's face was pale, how could it be this situation when he was obviously fine just now......

I don't know when Ye Wei looked calm, as if he had lost his soul, and his whole person was very weak.

These people are poisonous snakes, more poisonous than Harmon and Gail, and compared to the methods of these people, they are just small flies, and these people are ...... It's a poisonous snake......

The valuation, trust, and appreciation of those "own people" are all fake, and those happiness and joy are also ......

Speaking again, Ye Wei's voice was a little hoarse: "I'm not afraid of your threat, do you think I really don't understand?" No one in the film industry has hegemony, and never will be, because the work is the greatest power...... I'm not afraid of you, I'm not rare, what a talented idol, I'm not rare. ”

"Hey!" both were helpless at his stubbornness, Rifkin covered his forehead, and Lovett spread his hands and said:

"You can not be rare, what about your family? Is your family's financial situation very good? We all know that your father works so hard and goes to work on weekends, can you bear it? Your mother? Your sister? Are they doing well?

As long as you listen to us, it won't be long before your family can buy a beach holiday house in Malibu, if you are in a hurry, how about a signed advance payment of 5o million? As long as you meet the building plan on our brokerage contract, I will give it to you. ”

Ye Wei leaned back in his chair, his eyes looked at the ceiling, and for the first time he felt that the ceiling and invisible ceiling above his head were so heavy and depressing......

"Think about your family, and think about your friends, they could have been in the limelight, and just because you couldn't figure it out alone, let them be unlucky with you, that's friendship? Think about your little girlfriend, Lily Collins, boy, a lady like her, wouldn't like a loser.

Now you have a good relationship because you have been doing well lately, you are cool, and when you are nothing, she will leave, this is not snobbery, it is that you are not worthy of the princess.

If you think about yourself, why do you have to refuse? Isn't choosing an easy path to follow a dream a dream? I ask you, do you want to endure it now and become a producer and director of a multimillion-dollar feature film project at the age of 2o, or are you still messing around and still shooting short films with a digital camera at the age of 3o?"

Lovett looked at the stunned lawyer Salton and asked, "Lawyer, what do you say, which option do you think is better?"

Lawyer Salton was silent and swallowed only his saliva......

Ye Wei looked at the ceiling, there was a gecko crawling around, as if looking for food, hungry. When Lovett said what he had said later, he couldn't hear it clearly, not even his own heartbeat, but just watched the gecko forage.

“...... Speak, boy, what do you choose?"

He replied softly, "I want to meet with Mr. Willis, I want to talk to him." ”

"Bruce doesn't want to see you, forgive him, he's just trying to take a chance. Lovett said.

"I can bring him to the Oscar stage......" Ye Wei muttered.

Lovett and Rifkin burst out laughing, "You don't know what you're talking about. "Relax, no one is going to hurt you, boy. ”

"I'm going to have a phone call with him. Seeing that the gecko had eaten a mosquito, Ye Wei finally retracted his gaze and took out his mobile phone, "What number?" His mobile phone did not have Willis's private number, and the contact had to be made to Guò Lovett.

"He doesn't want to answer your phone either, you know Ramo, it's easy for you to get Bruce's number, but don't waste your efforts, Bruce made it clear that he doesn't want to talk to you anymore. ”

Lovett put down Erlang's legs, spread his hands and said, "Boy, that's the way things are, you either agree or ......"

Riffkin's fingers tapped on the desk table a few times, "That must not be good." ”

"You don't need to say it anymore, I won't agree, I'm not afraid of you......" Ye Wei stood up, his usually powerful feet were now numb, "I'm not afraid of you." ”

"Then give it a try. Lovett sneered, not hiding the ruthlessness in his heart at all: "Try it." ”

"Come on, I'm going to call Willis, I'm going to call him, he's confused......" Ye Wei muttered blankly as he walked outside: "I'll convince his ......"

"Bruce said, if you refuse, just give you back some things, I brought them, put them in the corridor outside, you can take them! Boy, for the rest of the month, you can change your mind, don't think too much, go back and take a shower and sleep, clear your mind, and be a smart person." ”

Behind him came Lowitt's words, as well as Attorney Sallton's voice: "Weige, I'm sorry, I really don't know. ”

Ye Wei didn't pay attention to anyone, dragged his slow steps, and walked out of the office, only to see a hand-dragged suitcase at the door, the suitcase he left for the big man in Las Vegas, full of "Angel Dance" documents......

With his trembling right palm, he grabbed the handle of the suitcase and walked downstairs.
