On January 28, the 58th Directors Guild Awards were announced, and Ang Lee won the best director with "Brokeback Mountain", continuing to lead the Oscars, and there is almost no suspense about being crowned.

On January 29, the 12th Screen Actors Guild Awards were presented, and TNT and TBS channels conducted a joint televised live broadcast, Best Actor: Philip Hoffman, Best Actress: Reese Witherspoon, Best Supporting Actor: Alan Arkin, Best Supporting Actress: Rachel Weisz.

"Little Sunshine Beauty" defeated the popular rival "Crash" and won the Best Group Drama Award. That night, VIY attended the award ceremony alone, wearing mysterious black gloves on both hands.

On January 29, the 22nd Sundance Film Festival closed, in terms of North American distribution rights, Sony Classics bought "Old Friends Are Rich", Universal Pictures bought "Leading Dog", and "Adult Style", which was crowned with the Jury Award - Feature Film and Audience Award, was also bought by Sony Classics.

On January 29, a week after the VIY draft, the preliminary list of candidates was announced. From Elizabeth Olsen will play "Susie" to Candace Arcola, who doesn't know who it is, will play "Clarissa", the media and the public are in an uproar!

What Ye Wei thought, it was really incomprehensible.

There has been a lot of controversy about VIY recently, and before the list of candidates was announced, he was already involved in a whirlpool of topics, from the gossip publications on the supermarket newspaper shelves for a few cents a piece, to mainstream newspapers, and even on various websites and social networks.

Ye Wei and Amy Rosen have not responded to the scandal between the two and seem to be ignoring it, but the media hype is getting hotter and hotter day by day, which makes many Rosen fans break their hearts.

A paparazzi took Amy Rosen's shopping photos on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and the scandal didn't seem to have a bad effect on her, she seemed to be in a good mood and had an ice cream.

Ye Wei is not around, and the media has not yet taken a photo of him and Rosen appearing together, but his activity over the past weekend is like NORAD tracking Santa Claus on the Internet.

On the night of the 27th, he was exposed to appear in Las Vegas and got a tattoo.

The owner of the "Sin City" tattoo parlor happily told Radar Online Celebrity: "When he suddenly walked into our shop, everyone was stunned, and I immediately went up to greet him. He was very accommodating, we chatted for a while, and then got him tattooed as he requested, and he was very satisfied! ”

This is evidenced by a group photo, and it can't be faked.

And Ye Wei's tattoos have also been exposed, and controversy ensues, although tattoos are not a bad thing, they are still a cool thing among teenagers. But VIY is not yet 18 years old! This has really made some conservative media criticize, but the black camp has also taken the opportunity to go out.

Even more controversial is the content of his tattoo:

EVIL, RUIN, SINNED BY HEAVEN, THERE IS NOTHING TO PRAY FOR

What does it mean? How to interpret it? For a while, there were many kinds of interpretations that came with the media when they reported it.

To understand those two sentences in Chinese, of course, you have to turn to Han culture scholars, Yahoo interviewed Zhou Hongxiang, a professor in UCLA's Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures: "This sentence comes from the Eight Chapters of the Analects," Wang Sunjia asked: Rather than flattering Ao, rather flattering than flattering. Zi said: No. Condemned to heaven, there is nothing to pray for. ’”

Professor Zhou explained: "One day, Wang Sunjia went to Confucius and asked, 'People say that it is better to worship the god of the stove than to worship the god of the Ao. Why do you say that?' Confucius replied to him: 'No, if you are a human being and violate the principles of heaven, it is useless for you to worship any god.' ’”

Professor Zhou reluctantly made an analogy, and some people asked if it was better to curry favor with the local police chief than with the FBI director? Confucius said that if you break the law, it is useless to curry favor with anyone.

In this way, Ye Wei's tattoos have two main and completely opposite interpretations, one is "I am a demon, I am heading for destruction, and God will not allow me, but I have no regrets at all." The other is that "sin leads to destruction, and if Heaven does not allow you, then it is useless to pray, go to hell." ”

The former is rebellious and arrogant, the latter is vigilant.

What does VIY say herself? The tattoo parlor owner said: "His exact words were, 'I have sinned against God, I have nothing to pray for.'" ”

That's the former, bad boy!

"I love these tattoos!", "Looking forward to seeing photos of VIY's tattoos." "I think both interpretations are fine, VIY is what it means, the good and evil sides of people!" ......

Many Weimi are very excited, and the girl fans are almost screaming, but the tattoos are so talented!

However, a large number of people who love Ye Wei are elites, as well as many, many Asians, not to mention parents, many young people don't like his tattoos very much:

"I'm sure that in a few years, Ye Wei will wash off these tattoos and laugh at his stupidity now. "VIY, you're cool enough and don't need a tattoo to make you cool!", "I've tried tattoos before and found out I don't want that thing at all." "I thought VIY would advocate that teenagers not get tattoos, disappointed!" ......

Ye Wei did not respond to the tattoo, and the latest article on his blog was the joint statement on the breakup.

Radar Online Celebrity Network interviewed an insider who is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake: "It's shocking! The parents are crazy, they are not people who can accept their children getting tattoos when they are underage." Many of his friends also think that he is a little too much, and it is good to tattoo a small pattern if he tries to, and he has so many tattoos at once, which is really unexpected. ”

If a tattoo is nothing, a big wave of the hand is $1.5 million to tell, and the bad boy who is common in the prehistory of VIY seems to be back.

The exposure showed that Ye Wei left Las Vegas after getting a tattoo and flew to Park City, Utah to participate in Sundance, and stayed until the 28th.

For the exact whereabouts, Ye Wei attended the premiere and celebration banquet of "Leading Dog", and had a happy conversation with Justin Timberlake and others. But the biggest news is that he bought a movie!

The film deal has been confirmed, Ye Wei bought out the North American rights of "Half Nielsen" for $1.5 million.

The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize - Feature Film, but did not win any awards. Its reputation is very good, but its lack of commercial value is also the consensus of the distribution industry, and many filmmakers are incomprehensible to Ye Wei's behavior.

Susan Jackson, one of the founders of Freestyle-Releasing, an emerging independent publisher, told The Hollywood Reporter in dismay: "We're not going to do that." The price of a film release depends on how much it sells, and it has nothing to do with the quality. No matter what aspect you think about, "Half Nielsen" will be difficult to sell 1.5 million. ”

"This is by no means a commercial act, this is a capricious act. Mark Gill, the former CEO of Warner Independent, said it more clearly, as if shaking his head: "VIY, the first film spot investment, will definitely lose, and everyone is watching his jokes." ”

It's just that there is other news that Ye Wei spent money to buy "Half Nielsen" not for investment.

James Patrickoff, a producer at HN, told the Los Angeles Times: "During the whole deal, VIY didn't say a single price. He said he wanted to buy, let's quote, we said 1.5 million, he said OK, then 1.5 million. This is not an exaggeration, it is what it is. ”

PR spokesperson Linda Doff lamented: "He gave the film a very high rating, loved it, and wanted to do something for it. The result is this deal with a moving offering promise, a promotional promise and a deal price. That's how lucky we are. ”

At least 100 theaters.

The question is who will take over?

In response, Mark Ullman, head of distribution at Sisi Pictures, said: "We're not interested, I don't know which company is interested yet, it's a hot potato." ”

1.5 million to buy a movie that will definitely lose money, the industry and fans want to hear Ye Wei's thoughts, why?

There has been no response yet.

However, compared with the VIY draft, Ye Wei's tattoo, and Ye Wei's purchase of movies, these things can't compare to its attention and its various controversies.

People watched what was originally a happy draft party evolve into a Rashomon.

"The so-called draft is a ridiculous, dirty scam, and Ye Wei is a dictatorial megalomaniac. I can't say how ugly his words were, almost directly mocking us as idiots, and his approach did not respect the actors at all, and the good way of the draft was not implemented. ”

In TMZ's report, a good friend of an unnamed actress was indignant, this actress is not a newcomer, she used to admire Ye Wei, but now she is extremely disappointed and indignant.

She described the draft process as "rotten, ridiculous, rude, unprofessional, authoritarian, and inexplicable" and rebuked the results as "internal, stupid, opaque, and unspeakable."

"The other casting directors and judges are all just decorations, they haven't said a word during the whole process, they are all Ye Wei saying, what he says is what he says. Regardless of the rules, the animal simulation became an improvisation, and the Q&A session was where he teased us, which was terrible. ”

This insider questioned that auditions usually have to release the audition video to let everyone see if they can be convinced, but what about the VIY draft? There is no video, and the scoring results are not announced, and the outside world does not know why those ten people won? Why did the others lose?

It wasn't just one person who was exposed, but another actress, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told SheSuperficial, a well-known gossip site that sharply exposes and satirizes the false behavior of celebrities.

"Ye Wei has no regard for acting talents, who will pat him on the back, who will please him, and who will be close to him, he will choose whom. Emma Roberts, Mody Seedington, they're definitely nepotism!

There is even an actress participating in the show, 18-year-old second-generation star Janice Rodriguez, who bombarded Ye Wei to the New York Times with her real name: "He's a monster! Many people are afraid of his revenge and dare not speak, but I am not afraid. ”

She also said that Ye Wei was very ridiculous, she didn't understand her at all, so she thought about her "advice", regretted participating in his draft, and was glad to see his true face.

It's not just some unsuccessful girls who are angry, but also the fans of celebrity girls, and the biggest group is undoubtedly Emma Watson fans!!!

How much face did Watson give Ye Wei to squeeze out of the draft, and he was defeated like this? No role? No explanation?

"Don't watch Ye Wei's movies anymore!", "Why did Emma Watson lose the cast? We need an explanation!", "Oh my God, I thought Watson would win Susie, is there anyone more beautiful than her, and her acting skills are so good!", "It's really unfair not to announce the ratings and reasons!", ......

Watson fans have the heart to pinch Ye Wei to death, he should be given a role, and it is up to Watson to decide whether to play it or not, which is called respect.

Regarding Watson's performance, the media has been paying close attention, and many parties have gossiped about it, and E! Online has interviewed an agent who attended the draft without knowing whether it is true or not.

"She's doing well, but VIY isn't eye-catching. The agent said that he didn't understand either, "No one in the audience should understand what he thinks, mainly because there is no standard, his mood seems to play a big role, Elizabeth Olsen and Jennifer Lawrence both amused him, and they became heroines." ”

And TMZ's insider said: "There may be a lot of parallel goods among these ten people, and several newcomers are not performing well, I don't know why they can win." ”

It's really a confusing Rashomon, do these insiders exist or not, and who are they if they exist?

It may never be known that, as is the norm in the entertainment industry, it is impossible to believe whether it is true or false.

But there are definitely some, on Monday, January 30, the Screen Actors Guild said that it had received a number of complaints about the VIY draft in recent days, and SAG had stepped in to investigate.

"We don't know how things are going yet. SAG spokeswoman Pamela Greenwalt told the media in a serious manner, "The union will investigate whether anyone has violated the rules." ”

Similarly, Ye Wei has not responded to this matter.

Leslie Dart, the draft's public relations spokesman, sent a stern press release in which he said: "These false slanders have done us great harm. Different auditions have their own forms, and not following the draft rules at the time of notification is one of the ways we evaluate the responsiveness of the actors, and it is not a random mood. ”

Chief casting director Ivy Kaufman supported Ye Wei on The Hollywood Reporter: "He fully demonstrated his professionalism, talent, agility, deep acting skills and knowledge in all aspects of the draft, which is one of the best talent shows I have seen in many years in the industry."

The demonization of those notification emails is evidence of VIY's enthusiasm for considering and advising those who are not selected, which not many people can do. All the actors who won the roles are very good, whether they are good or not, whether they are suitable or not, and when the movie is made and released, everyone will comment. ”

What's going on? Why is this list of candidates so big and so controversial? Almost every candidate has been questioned?

Take a look at Yahoo Entertainment's interesting statistic on the list of ten people, once it is announced, it is not difficult to find out the resumes of these teenage girls:

"Keyword: Doctor

The fathers of Kessie Chow and Candace Akola are both doctors

Keywords: farms

Modie Seedington and Jennifer Lawrence both grew up on farms

Keywords: brand new people

Mody Seedington, Jennifer Lawrence, and Candace Accola did not have any previous film and television acting experience

Keywords: child star

Elizabeth Olsen, Shailene Woodley, Emma Roberts all got into acting at a young age

Keywords: actors, children

Emma Roberts, Dakota Johnson, Saoirse Ronan, Alicika Vikander all have parents who are actors

Keywords: class of origin

Except for the two farm girls, the remaining eight are all from high-class and middle-class families, and Lawrence can also be counted as a low-class middle-class family

Keywords: screen newcomers

Only Emma Roberts and Dakota Johnson (a cameo) have ever appeared on the big screen, and the remaining eight will all be debuts

Minimum age: 12 years old, Saoirse Ronan

Maximum age: 19 years old, Candace Arcola

Mean age (at 2006): 16. 1 year old

It's such a group of people who have beaten Emma Watson, Emily Browning, Blake Lively and other superstar stars, and it's dumbfounded.

For the list itself, the media are all fried, and the fans are also stunned, a brand new person as a heroine?Jennifer Lawrence? Who is that? Susie is the sister of Sister Olson? Sister Olson has a sister?

Elizabeth Olsen is a newcomer! She is not a newcomer just because she is how old she is and she has run through the tricks in her sisters' videos, and the Olsen sisters can't mix up the screen, let alone her? Dakota Johnson is also a newcomer, she has made a cameo in "Crazy Alabama" and played Miss Golden Globes, what else? No one knows her.

If it weren't for Emma Roberts to support them, none of these people would be acting in movies, but the greatest thing about Roberts Jr. is only the supporting actress in "The Mermaid".

The current fame status of the ten people is ranked: Emma Roberts, Shailene Woodley, and the others are in no particular order, because there is not much difference.

Just a bunch of girls! A group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

People who still thought that VIY would form a dream team like "Little Sunshine Beauty" naturally sighed in disappointment.

Are they the future?Hollywood new forces?genius girls?The media and the public are really quite skeptical, and because of all kinds of slander at the same time, they and Ye Wei are already in the whirlpool.
