Chapter 472: It's Cool

At the beginning of July, Ye Wei, who had just returned to Los Angeles after filming "Lovely Bones", was photographed by the ubiquitous Los Angeles paparazzi driving an old Volkswagen Polo out on the street, which was his first car before.

It's nothing to drive it once, but there will be problems with it every time, and within a few days, the TMZ paparazzi dug up a shocking news: Ye Wei sold all his famous cars!

A gossip speculation thus arises naturally: VIY is on the verge of bankruptcy?

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, TET and LMS have huge benefits, Forbes estimated Ye Wei's wealth at $30 million, and the producer structure announced by SS and TLB showed that it was not all invested by him, and he did not report that he had bought tens of millions of mansions or gambled wildly.

Ye Wei has also recently donated millions of donations to the child protection organization "Children's Protection Foundation" and the stray pet rescue organization "Best Friends Animal Association", no matter how poor he is, he will not need to sell a few cars with an original price of only 100,000 yuan.

This matter is full of weirdness, usually the gossip about this is which celebrity bought what luxury house, what luxury car, I have never seen such a thing as selling a luxury car and driving back a small old car, and he is still a young and frivolous 18-year-old bad boy.

So the media public is really curious, what's going on!?

Regarding the bankruptcy rumors, Ye Wei's spokesperson Leslie Dart told Entertainment Weekly: "He has no financial problems, and his financial situation is very healthy. But we all know that there are some things that VIY is doing, and only he knows. ”

The media can only define that this is a way for Ye Wei to express his heart, although whether he can accept his heart or not has little to do with driving a famous car, a car of hundreds of thousands is not a luxury for any celebrity or celebrity. Besides, the money he earns, he has the right to go to material enjoyment, how to drive more and more back, people don't understand.

From the beginning of July to the end of July, every time Ye Wei was photographed driving, he drove this Volkswagen POLO, and sometimes his figure was particularly down.

This car is obviously not so easy to drive, in the middle of the month, the paparazzi photographed him driving on the road suddenly the car broke down, when he got out of the car to check, the paparazzi walked up to him on video and asked him if he wanted to help, and asked him: "VIY, why are you only driving this car?"

"What's the matter with you, do you care so much about your mother?" Ye Wei said.

There is an endless stream of news about VIY, and this month's prodigal son is very different.

I have to say another "Heath Scram incident" that is more concerned by the media and the public.

On the night of July 3, "Heathcram" abruptly deleted all of his YouTube videos and shut down the IA-Songs channel. Since then, "Heathcram" has disappeared, there is no new video, and there has been no response from Ye Wei's side.

Why?

No one knows why.

The gossip media speculated that Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen had changed their relationship, and except for the one in Philadelphia, the paparazzi could not take a new date photo of the two.

In any case, every video has long been preserved and can never be deleted, but people want to see new ones, want to listen to Heathcram's singing, and want to force Ye Wei out.

Maybe this was the driving force behind the incident, or maybe it was just for fun, and a few days after the IA-Songs channel was shut down, an Internet wave suddenly rose.

First one, then two, three, four...... Ordinary netizens pretended to be "Heathcram" on YouTube, and in these selfie videos, everyone wore a Guy Fox mask and sang a cover song, all of which started with "Hello, I'm Heathcram, and the song I sang for you today is ......" and ended with "Good night".

Gradually, some people took off their masks after singing to reveal their true faces, the standard lines were also modified, the mask style was also changed, and there were all kinds of things.

These videos are recorded by the most ordinary computer cameras, some are amateur, some are professional, some are cappella, some are accompanied by accompaniment, some are funny, like singing the original sound of "Hiscram" in a lip shape without a mask, and there are also mixed versions and comprehensive versions of "Hiscram" produced by the Funny Channel, and some people have produced versions of characters such as "Dora the Explorer" and "Sesame Street".

Warner Bros., the publisher of Vendetta, also got involved, releasing a V-version, a successful viral campaign.

The Heath Scram incident is the first mass event in YouTube's 15-month history.

This is inseparable from the active promotion of the website, and YouTube's hardcore secret nature is not a secret, because of one of its founders, Chen Shijun. When later generations talk about Asian celebrities such as Nigahiga and KevJumba, and now there is only the genius VIY, Ye Wei's videos will be pushed to the front page, also because his videos are really popular.

In July 2006, a video on YouTube with more than 500,000 views was already a successful viral video, and every video released by Ye Wei could exceed 1 million views, and the videos of his original VIY channel could often have millions, and the highest "number one villain Toto's day" was tens of millions, but there were not many updates, only one every two and a half months on average.

At present, YouTube is the most popular video-sharing site, MSN-Video, Google-Video, IFilm and other sites have been compared, and the Heathram incident has officially announced its time.

Although the number of videos in the trend is not in the thousands, it has created a new phenomenon that everyone did not expect. At the same time, it caused a big controversy in the media about the copyright fee of the song, because there is no need to pay for covering songs on the Internet.

The IA-Songs channel attracted more than 500,000 subscribers in less than a month, making it into the top 10 channels in terms of total subscriptions worldwide.

However, it came to an abrupt end, triggering heated discussions among netizens about "one V disappears, thousands and hundreds of Vs appear" and the media, and the outside world is looking forward to forcing "Heathcram" to appear, but VIY has not said a word from beginning to end, which has become another mysterious incident for him.

But Ye Wei did not disappear from the public eye, he was playing something else.

※※

The post-production of "Lovely Bones" is going on six days a week, if Suzanne Hines evaluates, Ye Wei has become a parasite in the editing room again, he is there early in the morning when she goes to work, and he refuses to leave when she gets off work, every day.

Compared with the editing of "Soul Surfer" in April, the atmosphere in the editing room this time is very quiet, Ye Wei doesn't laugh much, and he doesn't even talk much. Hines also noticed that he was more distracted, and sometimes she said something that he didn't hear clearly, "What?" He always seemed to be preoccupied, probably sad because of the heavy content of the film.

In the past month, this light depression has also appeared in recording studios, sound editing studios and other places.

As early as the first week of the month, after the Independence Day holiday, Liz started recording the narration track, and after meeting Ye Wei in the recording studio, she gossiped and asked: "How is it?"

Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders and replied to her: "The state of the voluntary spare tire." ”

Failed?Liz frowned, but volunteering for a spare tire? What do you mean? When a spare tire has to be volunteered? She was a little confused: "You mean, you want to be her spare tire, she doesn't want it, and then you are volunteering to be in front of it?"

"That's pretty much it. Ye Wei nodded.

"Poof!! wasn't drinking water, and Liz almost choked to death, "Unbelievable." ”

"I deserve it. Ye Wei was very serious, "I can't tell you too much, you just need to know one thing: me and her, if there is a mistake, it is all my fault." ”

Liz sighed louder: "Unbelievable!"

Ye Wei smiled.

"Do you want me to talk to her?" Liz asked, "Could it be some misunderstanding?"

"No, no. Ye Wei said, "It just takes time." ”

......

On the afternoon of Sunday, July 9, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and Duoduo returned from traveling in China for nearly a month, and the journey took longer than planned, going to Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, and visiting many places of interest.

"Wow! it's all mine!?" As soon as she got home, she jumped for joy as if she had walked into a doll's kingdom. This made Toto, who was close to him, even more excited, and kept jumping and jumping, and his depression was cured with the return of the group.

Looking at the room full of toys, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao also smiled, but it was the first time to buy so many gifts for their sister.

"Yes, it's all yours. Ye Wei nodded with laughter.

"Wow!" Duoduo hugged the doll, touched the doll, and was so happy that she almost cried.

Gu Qiao saw something, and asked his son softly: "Didn't they all give it to Duoduo, right?" Ye Wei rolled his eyes and shook his head: "Yes, there was originally only one Duoduo, and it's not good for children to have too many toys." Gu Qiao patted him comfortingly, "Then what do you think now?"

Ye Wei looked at Duoduo, who was running around and didn't know which doll to hold, and said, "Be yourself and wait for her." ”

"Come on. Gu Qiao was very relieved to see that her son had really come out, "However, the love of youth is the most special, if you can catch it, you can catch it, and if you can't, you have to let go." ”

"Alright, alright. Ye Wei yelled, she didn't want to talk about this with her mother, she was too sissy. He shouted to Duoduo: "Cookie, my brother will take you out to play, I remember that there is one more thing to do." He was reluctant to let those dolls be pulled out by him: "What's the matter?"

"Solve the shadow of your childhood!"

Ye Wei drove the family SUV to the Getty Center, where she fell when she got lost. When he walked into the grove, Duoduo suddenly grabbed the tail of his coat in fear, and said in a hurry: "Brother, there are monsters over there!"

"So what? The monster is afraid of your brother. Ye Wei swaggered forward.

Duoduo became more and more frightened, suddenly stared at her big eyes, and exclaimed: "It's there!" Ye Wei also saw it, the half-body black-clothed scarecrow was still hanging on the pine tree, swaying with the wind, I really don't know which raised such a thing to hang here.

"Brother, let's go and defeat it!" Ye Wei made a fierce expression, roared and rushed towards the pine tree, hugged the trunk and climbed up neatly, "Your time of death has come!"

Duoduo looked up, infected by his brother's bravery, and became a little bolder, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in admiration: "Wow!"

The elder brother climbed up the branch of the tree, one room above the ground, and he took out a string of keys with Swiss army knives, and in a few strokes sawed the scarecrow's rope, and with a pop, the scarecrow fell from the tree to the ground. But she still didn't dare to walk over.

"Oh yes!" Ye Wei then climbed down from the tree, lifted the scarecrow and walked towards Duoduo, and said with a smile: "Duoduo, it's okay!" Duoduo screamed and wanted to run away. Ye Wei smiled: "Don't be afraid, it turns out that it is not a bad guy." It used to be, but it doesn't anymore, it wants to be a good scarecrow, you touch it?"

Duoduo stretched out her little hand to touch it, but there was always a little psychological shadow, "Will it?"

"It's really fine, we're friends with it. Ye Wei shook the scarecrow in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Little lady, I am a scarecrow, you can call me Hunk, I was embarrassed to scare you last time, don't look at me as strong, in fact, I am very gentle, but I don't have any brains." ”

"Hee-hee. Duoduo laughed happily, and her right index finger mustered up the courage to touch the scarecrow's head, and it was okay! The smile on her little face was even bigger, "It's not a monster!"

"It's a friend!" Ye Wei laughed, "How about dressing you up as a scarecrow on Halloween this year?" just like its brothers and sisters. ”

Duoduo nodded excitedly and expectantly: "Okay, good!"

"Go home. Ye Wei rubbed her little head, took her little hand, and walked back with the scarecrow.

In the evening, the dining table in Ye Wei's dining room was full of joy.

Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao talked about the interesting story of this trip, Duoduo interjected from time to time to say the previous paragraph, how huge the Great Wall is, how magnificent the Forbidden City is, how many people are everywhere, and her face is full of excitement, when she doesn't say it, she thinks that she is quietly feeding Toto food to the squatting side.

Most of the time, Ye Wei listened quietly, and when he said it, he talked about interesting things on the set, which made the family laugh and laugh.

As night falls in Los Angeles, the boys' bedroom plays a softly melodious old song.

Ye Wei sat in front of the computer desk, looking at the Dreamweaver on the screen, slowly making web pages, and turning over the textbooks on the table from time to time. After a few days of self-study, he has made rapid progress and knows how to use IDE software and code editors, but his programming foundation is still very weak, and he is making progress little by little.

It's nice to learn new things, you can expand your mind and brainpower, and you can chase girls, it's fun.

He, who has been "half a bucket of water" since he was a child, has a new wooden bucket.

With the main promotion of "Witch Carrie", "Soul Surfer", and "Lovely Bones", in addition to the Oscars for half a year, Ye Wei, who had very few interviews, began to appear more and more actively in the media, and recently he accepted an exclusive interview with "Variety".

[Variety: You have finished filming two movies this year, and if you don't shoot the remaining one, you have an amazing creation.

Ye Wei: It's not unprecedented to make two movies a year, but when you really do it, you know how difficult and tiring it is, and you also know how satisfying you can be when it's done. I'm glad I have a large group of great colleagues, and it's all the result of the team. Everything is going well now, all three movies will be made, and even more (laughs).

Variety: More?

Ye Wei: Life is always full of accidents, and I don't know what it means, but when the time comes, the answer will naturally appear. 】

The media public was amazed by this, VIY never talked nonsense, he said so, apparently he had this idea, the fourth movie?

[Variety: What was the biggest challenge in filming these two movies?

Ye Wei: It must be time, we have everything, but we don't have time. This is still in the case of digital shooting, and if we had shot on film, we would not have been able to do it at the quality we have now. But I was nostalgic for film again, and when I finished "Little Sunshine Beauty," I said to myself, "I'm not going to make movies on film anymore, it's a nuisance that whoever likes it." Now I'm like, "Okay, where's my Super Eight?" Not only does the film have a better texture, it also makes you know exactly what you're making, and those troubles and things don't go well will bring more thought, but it will also compress your time. It's a matter of trade-offs.

Variety: This year, you have not only shown your talent in film, but also in photography, painting, literature and other aspects, and people are shocked by your talent.

Ye Wei: Some of my talents have been raised or trampled down, like in the field of photography and literature, I'm just fine, but just because I'm Ye Wei, some people are like "Wow, he's amazing!" and others are like "Phew, what's so great about him." "I'm rising in this double helix of public DNA.

Variety: Do you have any plans to publish a book? What about music? When will we hear you sing? Or already?

Ye Wei: I don't have a plan for the time being, these are my hobbies, and I don't want to turn them into jobs. My focus is on film, which is both my job and my passion. Also, if you want to hear me sing, you can go to the karaoke parlors in Santa Monica, maybe we'll meet one day. 】

In this regard, most of the media and the public think that VIY is modest, even if those aspects are just okay and all happen to the same person, then it is not "okay" to make it clear.

Recently, Ye Wei named his zombie apocalyptic novel "All-Dead", the short story is not much written, the long story is updated a little more diligently, and the gripping story attracts more and more readers. Now that he has revealed that there are no further plans, readers are disappointed.

[Variety: People pay attention to the new actors who are known as "Hollywood's future girls", how are they performing?

Ye Wei: I don't like to call them Hollywood, although I believe that they will eventually represent the new generation of Hollywood actresses, who will play some commercial blockbuster vases and silly commercial roles, but now they are all beautiful jade, independent, humble, hard-working and professional, and everyone has excellent performances.

Emma Roberts, cute, smart, a little impulsive, my best friend in work and life, Shailene Woodley, studious, strong, she was diagnosed with scoliosis earlier this year, that didn't beat her, Modie Semington, shy, quiet, delicate, she is improving every day and has a good sense of herself, Kelsey Chow, well-behaved, smart, like a sister of mine, Dakota Johnson, mature, professional, a little quirky, charming kind, Saoirse Ronan, born actor, very aura little girl, Margot Robbie, tenacious, cherished, she can have a big future, Elizabeth Olsen, smart, humorous, very joking, it's easy to overeat, God bless her.

They are all very nice and I am looking forward to working with them next time. and can't wait to shoot "Winter's Bones", Jennifer Lawrence, Alicia Vikander, they also performed well in the preparation stage.

Variety: You must choose the best, will you choose?

Ye Wei: Emma Roberts. Lives are at stake (laughs). 】

The media public did not see the question and answer on the emotional private life. Among the ten girls, there are four people who have scandals with Ye Wei, and the degree is Roberts Jr., Olsen Jr., Semington, Johnson, and the last two can basically be ignored.

And most hardcore hardcore Weimi will default to Ye Wei's unusual relationship with Emma Roberts, who may be good friends now, and nine out of ten have dated before.

As for who Ye Wei is dating now, no one in the outside world is clear.

The "National Inquirer" even reported that Ye Wei was actually gay, he pretended to be a playboy enough, and was plotting to come out.

This remark was ruthlessly shattered by VIY girlfriends, so many gossip girlfriends, there will always be people with big mouths.

French supermodel Morgan Dubred, who previously admitted that she was dating Ye Wei, had announced the end of their relationship a while ago, and she talked about this exotic relationship in an interview with the famous French women's magazine "Elle", praising Ye Wei for being amazing in all aspects, and enjoying her time with him very much.

So why did she end the date? She was dumped?

Dubride admits this with regret: "It was a sudden, he called and told me about his decision, we are not going to move on. I thought it was his sister's lost horror that was making him feel bad. Recently I asked him again and he said that he had a girlfriend and I could only wish him well. ”

This is the beginning of the rumors that "Ye Wei has a new girlfriend" that began in early July, and it is also the most powerful evidence to know.

But after this period of time, it is still a mystery who the prodigal son's new girlfriend is, whether the paparazzi take pictures openly or secretly, every time Ye Wei works, goes out on the street, walks the dog, goes back to his residence, and goes back to his parents' house...... It's all a single person, the opposite sex, the same sex, and no dates.

Who is it? The "insiders" of the gossip media can't say why.

※※

It's Friday, July 14. On July 14, two years ago, Ye Wei and Lily broke up, and on this day two years later, he had already arranged this day off and made up for it on Sunday the 17th. Because today, there is a place where he can't go but can't wait, the old place.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sun rises as usual, illuminating the West Coast.

At seven o'clock, Ye Wei pedaled the red mountain bike that he hadn't pedaled for a long time, and waited at the bus stop next to the beautiful residential house in the eastern section of Sunset Avenue.

He looked around the street, there were no people and cars in the early morning, there were a few signs of the residents of this house running in the morning, walking dogs, and she could not be seen.

Sometimes he leans on his bike, sometimes he looks around, sometimes he jumps on the spot, sometimes he runs on the spot...... I took out my phone and looked at it, and put it back again. When a car passed by, he gossiped into the window of every car, and he also looked at every passerby.

Time passed, at nine o'clock, there were more passers-by, Ye Wei put on a pair of sunglasses, and took them off after a while. Wearing sunglasses is not easy to recognize, but wearing sunglasses is noticeable.

He took a few steps back and forth, jumped and swung his fists, danced backwards and spacewalks, crashed into a large tree, leaned forward 45 degrees, and almost threw himself on the pavement in front of him.

He looked at his watch, grinned, and sat down on the pavement, his back against the bushes, his hands on his knees.

Just as he was thinking about something, a fat middle-aged blonde woman walked by with a brown poodle sniffing and suddenly stopping to pee on his right calf. Ye Wei came back to his senses, and immediately stood up to the side, and exclaimed at the same time: "Hey, dude!

"Oh my God, Alan!" the middle-aged woman hurriedly tried to pull her dog away, but she couldn't pull it away with all her might. "Allen" finished sprinkling a soak of urine beautifully, although she avoided it, the right side of Ye Wei's jeans was still wet, exuding a fishy smell. The middle-aged woman said apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry." ”

Ye Wei didn't get angry, he just felt funny, and said with a smile: "Don't blame it, my girl is so charming, it's called Toto." Ma'am, you go ahead and walk the dog, it's fine. ”

The middle-aged woman was about to thank him, when she suddenly recognized him: "You are that genius? Ye Wei? Oh my boy." ”

Ye Wei made a silent gesture, "I'm doing a street experiment, about how many passers-by will recognize me, the camera is there." He casually pointed in the opposite direction. The middle-aged woman looked over in surprise and laughed: "We're on camera! Oh my God, where can I see it?" Ye Wei said: "Maybe YouTube, not necessarily, because I have to see the final effect of this experiment, and if it's not very interesting, I won't upload it." ”

"Of course. The middle-aged woman nodded in understanding, talked to him for a few words, and led the dog away in a beautiful mood.

Ye Wei took off his wetted sandals, the smell of dog urine filled the air, and it was okay to be idle, he took out a Swiss army knife and cut his pants, to cut off the wet trousers. Unexpectedly, its cloth was still very hard, and it took him a lot of effort to finish it with an irregular result, and half of his right calf was exposed.

When his feet were combined, he thought it was funny at first glance, so he cut off the left leg of his pants, which made it even more funny and sissy. He is a person who will never wear a speckled shirt, floral pants and other slightly sissy clothing, and even the sleeveless vest is included in the ranks of sissy, refusing to wear it, preferring to dress like the Governor.

At the moment, cut a few holes in the knees on both sides of the pants, at least a little punk or goth or silly hat, I don't know.

The whole morning was spent like this, at noon, Ye Wei went home in rags, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, ate lunch, brought a guitar and two bottles of mineral water, and prepared to disguise himself as a street performer.

Duoduo was curious: "Brother, where are you going?"

"My heaven. Ye Wei said with a smile. Duoduo almost cried when he heard this: "No, brother, don't go to heaven!" He explained: "There are two kinds of heaven, one is to go when you die, and the other is to go alive." My brother is now going to be alive and can go, and will come back, like your candy house. Duoduo came to his senses.

Ye Wei carried the black guitar case on his back and walked back to the old place.

He looked into the bushes and picked up a paper airplane that he had put down when he left, and it was still there, untouched. Put it in your pocket, take out the guitar from the wooden box and hold it and continue to wait. When someone passed by, he played the guitar and hummed a song, but no one paid attention to him.

One afternoon later, there were a few more small denominations in the guitar box.

Ye Wei went home, the message paper plane was still the same, and when it was six o'clock in the afternoon, he began to pack up his guitar and prepare to leave.

Not today. She couldn't have forgotten today, she knew he was coming, all day, she knew and knew he was here, but she didn't show up. She either doesn't care or doesn't want to show up. He felt that she didn't want to show up, and she didn't like him yet.

Before leaving, Ye Wei tore a piece of blue label paper from the label book and wrote a few lyrics, one in English and the other in Chinese:

「Well-meet-again。 Dont-know-where。 Dont-know-when。

But-I-know-well-meet-again。 some-sunny-day。 」

"We'll see you again, I don't know where, we don't know when.

But I know we'll see you again, on a sunny day. 」

He folded the label into a simple paper airplane, looked around, and placed it on top of the bushes next to him.

With the black guitar case on his back, he walked along the side of the pavement in the direction of home.

"What's interesting about 'The World of Foul Language' isn't just the meaning behind it, it's also very interesting in itself. When the couple played by Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen watched the sunset and said things like "I love you", it became a string of F words, and the absurd, black humor, and thought-provoking atmosphere reached its peak. —4/4, Roger Albert, Chicago Sun-Times

[The Birth of "The World of Foul Words" - Author: Gia Coppola.]

That is really a unique thing in the new generation of film circles, it can't represent Ye Wei, but it is definitely one of his masterpieces.

While people are talking about "Youth Musical," we're making this, The-World-of-Fuck, a great experimental film with a budget of $2,000 and a one-day production cycle.

It was July 23, 2006, a Sunday, and Ye Wei was doing post-production of "Lovely Bones" at that time, and he only had one day off a week.

Before leaving work the night before, we talked about the possibility of rating TLB, and because of its brutal story, we agreed that giving it an R rating was not too much, and that Mr. Harvey's defiling of Susie with "You're wearing white panties" was more disturbing than any number of F words. But the TLB will only be rated PG-13 because its publisher is Paramount, which later turned out to be our guess.

Moving from talking about TLB's ratings, we move on to the documentary "Unrated Films," which investigates the MPAA rating system. The decay of the MPAA rating system, everyone knows that Ye Wei once had a quarrel with the MPAA because of the rating of "Little Sunshine Beauty". At that time, the MPAA promised to publish a complete rating manual as soon as possible, but nearly a year later, the MPAA still did not fulfill its promise under repeated public doubts. When it comes to this topic, we all feel sad.

Ye Wei is the kind of person who never knows what he is going to do next, and he suddenly said to me: "Jiya, tomorrow is a holiday, we always have to play something." I asked him, "Picnic or beach?" Picnic on the beach?" and he said, "I'm going to make a movie a day, would you be interested in joining?"

I'm not interested in how to become a billionaire, but I'm interested in how to make a movie a day and what kind of movie to make?

Just after midnight on the 23rd, that is, less than five hours after the intention, the five of us in the crew began to act.

Ye Wei, he is a producer, director, screenwriter, photographer, editor, actor...... Everything you can think of. Elizabeth Olsen, who is an actress, heard about our plans and agreed to star in an F-word. Lev Bobile, Corvin Reiter, they take care of all the chores and logistics. And I am Ye Wei's assistant. The average age of the crew was 18 years old, and I was sadly the oldest.

It's almost all Ye Wei's idea, no script, digital shooting, no lighting, no goofs, handheld photography, 12 hours long, 24 total shots, half an hour. The most common thing is the recording, because it is no different from an ordinary movie, and it can be heard clearly.

It's all based on his outlandish idea, his "Badan" and Elizabeth Olsen's "Fuzzy" in Los Angeles in a pseudo-documentary, which is nothing, but the world in the film is a world of foul language - it sounds like that. No matter what dialogue between the two actors is, it is foul language, and there are foul words in different languages, and as for what they actually say, each audience member has their own understanding.

Before it was turned on, a few of us were already laughing, Ye Wei said: "After turning on, even if it is laughing, it is not HAHAHAHA, it is F-F-F-F." "Our goal was simple, to send the film to the MPAA for grading, so that the ratings of CARA, the MPAA's judging partner, had to endure 12 hours of foul language bombardment and tell us how much foul language there was in 'The World of Foul Language'. We don't really know, we just know that there are definitely more than any previous movies.

This mischievous experimental film eventually gave a huge boost to the MPAA's first release of a complete rating manual in September of that year.

That day, we went to many places to shoot and shoot, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way. Elizabeth Olsen said she said she said more foul language that day than she had said in her previous life, and probably wiped out her share of the rest of her life. After filming, Ye Wei said that he saw Olsen's mouth become flattened, and he couldn't see his own, in fact, it was also.

It's a pity that the MPAA doesn't tell us the answer in the rating report, just says that Fuck, Bitch, Bastard and other words are countless, and the film gets an NC-17 rating. Ye Wei used the pseudonym "Bataan-Wang" as his signature, which means the same as Bastard, and he said that the foul language in the end credits is not counted in the MPAA.

The huge controversy caused by "The World of Foul Words" is something that we didn't expect when we made it. At the end of that month, because of this movie, Ye Wei was reported by almost all mainstream media and appeared in every newspaper and magazine in the film industry. It was put on the Internet for free on April 1 of the year after Ye Wei's three feature films were released, and for 12 hours, I really don't know if anyone has watched them all.

Some netizens said that they had read it carefully and counted it, and there were a total of 10,638 F words. We don't know if it's because we haven't seen it all ourselves, and we can't laugh every time.

The media at that time said: Ye Wei, this bad boy, he is playing big this time!

In fact, the next day, the five of us continued with TLB's post-production and our respective summer programs as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Later, I said to Ye Wei: "Use foul language to promote your ideals, you are really the first person." Ye Wei told me: "Jiya, it's not that I don't understand romance, it's just that life tells me who to deal with and what to say." ”

No wonder I say "this is cool" or something like that all day long. What about music, when will we hear you sing, or already?

Ye Wei: I don't have a plan for the time being, these are my hobbies, and I don't want to turn them into jobs. My focus is on film, which is both my job and my passion. Also, if you want to hear me sing, you can go to the karaoke parlors in Santa Monica, maybe we'll meet one day. 】

In this regard, most of the media and the public think that VIY is modest, even if those aspects are just okay and all happen to the same person, then it is not "okay" to make it clear.

Recently, Ye Wei named his zombie apocalyptic novel "All-Dead", the short story is not much written, the long story is updated a little more diligently, and the gripping story attracts more and more readers. Now that he has revealed that there are no further plans, readers are disappointed.

[Variety: People pay attention to the new actors who are known as "Hollywood's future girls", how are they performing?

Ye Wei: I don't like to call them Hollywood, although I believe that they will eventually represent the new generation of Hollywood actresses, who will play some commercial blockbuster vases and silly commercial roles, but now they are all beautiful jade, independent, humble, hard-working and professional, and everyone has excellent performances.

Emma Roberts, cute, smart, a little impulsive, my best friend in work and life, Shailene Woodley, studious, strong, she was diagnosed with scoliosis earlier this year, that didn't beat her, Modie Semington, shy, quiet, delicate, she is improving every day and has a good sense of herself, Kelsey Chow, well-behaved, smart, like a sister of mine, Dakota Johnson, mature, professional, a little quirky, charming kind, Saoirse Ronan, born actor, very aura little girl, Margot Robbie, tenacious, cherished, she can have a big future, Elizabeth Olsen, smart, humorous, very joking, it's easy to overeat, God bless her.

They are all very nice and I am looking forward to working with them next time. and can't wait to shoot "Winter's Bones", Jennifer Lawrence, Alicia Vikander, they also performed well in the preparation stage.

Variety: You must choose the best, will you choose?

Ye Wei: Emma Roberts. Lives are at stake (laughs). 】

The media public did not see the question and answer on the emotional private life. Among the ten girls, there are four people who have scandals with Ye Wei, and the degree is Roberts Jr., Olsen Jr., Semington, Johnson, and the last two can basically be ignored.

And most hardcore hardcore Weimi will default to Ye Wei's unusual relationship with Emma Roberts, who may be good friends now, and nine out of ten have dated before.

As for who Ye Wei is dating now, no one in the outside world is clear.

The "National Inquirer" even reported that Ye Wei was actually gay, he pretended to be a playboy enough, and was plotting to come out.

This remark was ruthlessly shattered by VIY girlfriends, so many gossip girlfriends, there will always be people with big mouths.

French supermodel Morgan Dubred, who previously admitted that she was dating Ye Wei, had announced the end of their relationship a while ago, and she talked about this exotic relationship in an interview with the famous French women's magazine "Elle", praising Ye Wei for being amazing in all aspects, and enjoying her time with him very much.

So why did she end the date? She was dumped?

Dubride admits this with regret: "It was a sudden, he called and told me about his decision, we are not going to move on. I thought it was his sister's lost horror that was making him feel bad. Recently I asked him again and he said that he had a girlfriend and I could only wish him well. ”

This is the beginning of the rumors that "Ye Wei has a new girlfriend" that began in early July, and it is also the most powerful evidence to know.

But after this period of time, it is still a mystery who the prodigal son's new girlfriend is, whether the paparazzi take pictures openly or secretly, every time Ye Wei works, goes out on the street, walks the dog, goes back to his residence, and goes back to his parents' house...... It's all a single person, the opposite sex, the same sex, and no dates.

Who is it? The "insiders" of the gossip media can't say why.

※※

It's Friday, July 14. On July 14, two years ago, Ye Wei and Lily broke up, and on this day two years later, he had already arranged this day off and made up for it on Sunday the 17th. Because today, there is a place where he can't go but can't wait, the old place.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sun rises as usual, illuminating the West Coast.

At seven o'clock, Ye Wei pedaled the red mountain bike that he hadn't pedaled for a long time, and waited at the bus stop next to the beautiful residential house in the eastern section of Sunset Avenue.

He looked around the street, there were no people and cars in the early morning, there were a few signs of the residents of this house running in the morning, walking dogs, and she could not be seen.

Sometimes he leans on his bike, sometimes he looks around, sometimes he jumps on the spot, sometimes he runs on the spot...... I took out my phone and looked at it, and put it back again. When a car passed by, he gossiped into the window of every car, and he also looked at every passerby.

Time passed, at nine o'clock, there were more passers-by, Ye Wei put on a pair of sunglasses, and took them off after a while. Wearing sunglasses is not easy to recognize, but wearing sunglasses is noticeable.

He took a few steps back and forth, jumped and swung his fists, danced backwards and spacewalks, crashed into a large tree, leaned forward 45 degrees, and almost threw himself on the pavement in front of him.

He looked at his watch, grinned, and sat down on the pavement, his back against the bushes, his hands on his knees.

Just as he was thinking about something, a fat middle-aged blonde woman walked by with a brown poodle sniffing and suddenly stopping to pee on his right calf. Ye Wei came back to his senses, and immediately stood up to the side, and exclaimed at the same time: "Hey, dude!

"Oh my God, Alan!" the middle-aged woman hurriedly tried to pull her dog away, but she couldn't pull it away with all her might. "Allen" finished sprinkling a soak of urine beautifully, although she avoided it, the right side of Ye Wei's jeans was still wet, exuding a fishy smell. The middle-aged woman said apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry." ”

Ye Wei didn't get angry, he just felt funny, and said with a smile: "Don't blame it, my girl is so charming, it's called Toto." Ma'am, you go ahead and walk the dog, it's fine. ”

The middle-aged woman was about to thank him, when she suddenly recognized him: "You are that genius? Ye Wei? Oh my boy." ”

Ye Wei made a silent gesture, "I'm doing a street experiment, about how many passers-by will recognize me, the camera is there." He casually pointed in the opposite direction. The middle-aged woman looked over in surprise and laughed: "We're on camera! Oh my God, where can I see it?" Ye Wei said: "Maybe YouTube, not necessarily, because I have to see the final effect of this experiment, and if it's not very interesting, I won't upload it." ”

"Of course. The middle-aged woman nodded in understanding, talked to him for a few words, and led the dog away in a beautiful mood.

Ye Wei took off his wetted sandals, the smell of dog urine filled the air, and it was okay to be idle, he took out a Swiss army knife and cut his pants, to cut off the wet trousers. Unexpectedly, its cloth was still very hard, and it took him a lot of effort to finish it with an irregular result, and half of his right calf was exposed.

When his feet were combined, he thought it was funny at first glance, so he cut off the left leg of his pants, which made it even more funny and sissy. He is a person who will never wear a speckled shirt, floral pants and other slightly sissy clothing, and even the sleeveless vest is included in the ranks of sissy, refusing to wear it, preferring to dress like the Governor.

At the moment, cut a few holes in the knees on both sides of the pants, at least a little punk or goth or silly hat, I don't know.

The whole morning was spent like this, at noon, Ye Wei went home in rags, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, ate lunch, brought a guitar and two bottles of mineral water, and prepared to disguise himself as a street performer.

Duoduo was curious: "Brother, where are you going?"

"My heaven. Ye Wei said with a smile. Duoduo almost cried when he heard this: "No, brother, don't go to heaven!" He explained: "There are two kinds of heaven, one is to go when you die, and the other is to go alive." My brother is now going to be alive and can go, and will come back, like your candy house. Duoduo came to his senses.

Ye Wei carried the black guitar case on his back and walked back to the old place.

He looked into the bushes and picked up a paper airplane that he had put down when he left, and it was still there, untouched. Put it in your pocket, take out the guitar from the wooden box and hold it and continue to wait. When someone passed by, he played the guitar and hummed a song, but no one paid attention to him.

One afternoon later, there were a few more small denominations in the guitar box.

Ye Wei went home, the message paper plane was still the same, and when it was six o'clock in the afternoon, he began to pack up his guitar and prepare to leave.

Not today. She couldn't have forgotten today, she knew he was coming, all day, she knew and knew he was here, but she didn't show up. She either doesn't care or doesn't want to show up. He felt that she didn't want to show up, and she didn't like him yet.

Before leaving, Ye Wei tore a piece of blue label paper from the label book and wrote a few lyrics, one in English and the other in Chinese:

「Well-meet-again。 Dont-know-where。 Dont-know-when。

But-I-know-well-meet-again。 some-sunny-day。 」

"We'll see you again, I don't know where, we don't know when.

But I know we'll see you again, on a sunny day. 」

He folded the label into a simple paper airplane, looked around, and placed it on top of the bushes next to him.

With the black guitar case on his back, he walked along the side of the pavement in the direction of home.

"What's interesting about 'The World of Foul Language' isn't just the meaning behind it, it's also very interesting in itself. When the couple played by Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen watched the sunset and said things like "I love you", it became a string of F words, and the absurd, black humor, and thought-provoking atmosphere reached its peak. —4/4, Roger Albert, Chicago Sun-Times

[The Birth of "The World of Foul Words" - Author: Gia Coppola.]

That is really a unique thing in the new generation of film circles, it can't represent Ye Wei, but it is definitely one of his masterpieces.

While people are talking about "Youth Musical," we're making this, The-World-of-Fuck, a great experimental film with a budget of $2,000 and a one-day production cycle.

It was July 23, 2006, a Sunday, and Ye Wei was doing post-production of "Lovely Bones" at that time, and he only had one day off a week.

Before leaving work the night before, we talked about the possibility of rating TLB, and because of its brutal story, we agreed that giving it an R rating was not too much, and that Mr. Harvey's defiling of Susie with "You're wearing white panties" was more disturbing than any number of F words. But the TLB will only be rated PG-13 because its publisher is Paramount, which later turned out to be our guess.

Moving from talking about TLB's ratings, we move on to the documentary "Unrated Films," which investigates the MPAA rating system. The decay of the MPAA rating system, everyone knows that Ye Wei once had a quarrel with the MPAA because of the rating of "Little Sunshine Beauty". At that time, the MPAA promised to publish a complete rating manual as soon as possible, but nearly a year later, the MPAA still did not fulfill its promise under repeated public doubts. When it comes to this topic, we all feel sad.

Ye Wei is the kind of person who never knows what he is going to do next, and he suddenly said to me: "Jiya, tomorrow is a holiday, we always have to play something." I asked him, "Picnic or beach?" Picnic on the beach?" and he said, "I'm going to make a movie a day, would you be interested in joining?"

I'm not interested in how to become a billionaire, but I'm interested in how to make a movie a day and what kind of movie to make?

Just after midnight on the 23rd, that is, less than five hours after the intention, the five of us in the crew began to act.

Ye Wei, he is a producer, director, screenwriter, photographer, editor, actor...... Everything you can think of. Elizabeth Olsen, who is an actress, heard about our plans and agreed to star in an F-word. Lev Bobile, Corvin Reiter, they take care of all the chores and logistics. And I am Ye Wei's assistant. The average age of the crew was 18 years old, and I was sadly the oldest.

It's almost all Ye Wei's idea, no script, digital shooting, no lighting, no goofs, handheld photography, 12 hours long, 24 total shots, half an hour. The most common thing is the recording, because it is no different from an ordinary movie, and it can be heard clearly.

It's all based on his outlandish idea, his "Badan" and Elizabeth Olsen's "Fuzzy" in Los Angeles in a pseudo-documentary, which is nothing, but the world in the film is a world of foul language - it sounds like that. No matter what dialogue between the two actors is, it is foul language, and there are foul words in different languages, and as for what they actually say, each audience member has their own understanding.

Before it was turned on, a few of us were already laughing, Ye Wei said: "After turning on, even if it is laughing, it is not HAHAHAHA, it is F-F-F-F." "Our goal was simple, to send the film to the MPAA for grading, so that the ratings of CARA, the MPAA's judging partner, had to endure 12 hours of foul language bombardment and tell us how much foul language there was in 'The World of Foul Language'. We don't really know, we just know that there are definitely more than any previous movies.

This mischievous experimental film eventually gave a huge boost to the MPAA's first release of a complete rating manual in September of that year.

That day, we went to many places to shoot and shoot, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way. Elizabeth Olsen said she said she said more foul language that day than she had said in her previous life, and probably wiped out her share of the rest of her life. After filming, Ye Wei said that he saw Olsen's mouth become flattened, and he couldn't see his own, in fact, it was also.

It's a pity that the MPAA doesn't tell us the answer in the rating report, just says that Fuck, Bitch, Bastard and other words are countless, and the film gets an NC-17 rating. Ye Wei used the pseudonym "Bataan-Wang" as his signature, which means the same as Bastard, and he said that the foul language in the end credits is not counted in the MPAA.

The huge controversy caused by "The World of Foul Words" is something that we didn't expect when we made it. At the end of that month, because of this movie, Ye Wei was reported by almost all mainstream media and appeared in every newspaper and magazine in the film industry. It was put on the Internet for free on April 1 of the year after Ye Wei's three feature films were released, and for 12 hours, I really don't know if anyone has watched them all.

Some netizens said that they had read it carefully and counted it, and there were a total of 10,638 F words. We don't know if it's because we haven't seen it all ourselves, and we can't laugh every time.

The media at that time said: Ye Wei, this bad boy, he is playing big this time!

In fact, the next day, the five of us continued with TLB's post-production and our respective summer programs as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Later, I said to Ye Wei: "Use foul language to promote your ideals, you are really the first person." Ye Wei told me: "Jiya, it's not that I don't understand romance, it's just that life tells me who to deal with and what to say." ”

No wonder I say "this is cool" or something like that all day long. 】
