Chapter 416: Shocking Calls
Toronto, or the world is covered with snow.
At Wexford Art School, three teenage girls in the graffiti hallway are leaning against the wall and chatting about celebrity gossip, "VIY is really with Amy Rosen, and they were photographed going out on the street in the same car." "I've watched the news too, and his new car is so cool. "I don't really like Amy Rosen. ”
Suddenly, all three of them stopped talking, and let a long-haired figure with black and brown holding a book walk past before continuing to talk, "Actually, VIY dumped Dubov, right?", "Then there is no need to say." ”
Nina walked over with a cold face, talking about him and not talking about him being nominated for an Oscar, talking about any scandals......
She sighed, but why did he get back together with Amy Rosen? he should be back together with Lily Collins, it really didn't make sense......
"Alas. Nina sighed again, the more she thought about it, the more she was congested, stop! Don't think about him, it's your business to break up.
Say I don't want to, but I can't help but think all day long, countless chaotic thoughts, there is always this stage, think, Yunik......
When I got home from school in the evening, the sky was already dark, and Nina was playing with her laptop in the dining room, looking at his blog on the Internet, muttering to herself, "I'm an actor, I'm an artist...... I'm not stupid, I'm not a layman, I'm an artist......"
"Nina ......" Mihaela, who was cooking dinner by the integrated kitchen cabinet, looked at her daughter and was a little worried.
"I'm going to work harder and be better. "Nina stared, I said, breaking up is for each other's better, he will see, I will be a new me. My heart gradually became active, "I want more performances, movies and dramas!"
I am also a person with aspirations, I am also a very good actress, and I am also the future!
Nina opened IMDb a little excitedly and logged on to her personal page to view:
Filmography
Actor(2credits)
Carrie(pre-production)――2006
Carrie-White
The-Exorcism-Tapes――2005
Maggie-Sweetzer
There are only "Exorcism Video" and the pre-production "Witch Carrie", which is really few.
She pulled a circle, clicked on the profile page, looked at the "miniature profile" column, the current version didn't write a few words, almost all of it was about TET, pouted, noticed the "Edit" in the upper right corner, and had an idea, edit a new profile!
"Mom, I'm going to edit my profile on IMDb, how do you say to write it well?" asked Nina as she clicked Edit, to log in to your account, click to create a new account.
"Just introduce yourself. Mihaela was busy making scones in the oven, and Miss Gu sniffed next to her.
"Hmm. Nina registered an account called Nina/Michaela-Dobrev, and co-edited it with her mother!
“Nina-Constantinova-Dobreva-was-born-in-Sofia,Bulgaria。 She-moved-to-Canada-at-the-age-of-two-and-has-lived-in-Toronto......”
This information is easy to write, but how to introduce herself? She wrote and changed, changed and wrote, and called her mother to come over and give guidance and advice.
He said that he likes to travel and sports......
But, most importantly, acting is her passion, and she sees it as an adventure that has just begun. Nina smiled at the corners of her mouth, Passion, Adventure, what a good word!, continued: "She believes that the journey along the show and the characters we create will help us understand ourselves. ”
Haha!
“along-the-way-will-help-us-understand-ourselves。 She couldn't help but smugly read it a few times, it was so cool, it looked like it was really going on.
Click Submit.
A sense of accomplishment welled up in her heart, and Nina raised her hands and shouted, "It's a success!"
Work hard from today!

Ye Wei asked not only about his own projects, but also about several others.
For example, "Dark Matter", a project of the independent company Myriad-Pictures, is adapted from the 1991 Lu Gang incident that shocked the United States, directed by the well-known theater director Chen Shizheng, and Meryl Streep joined in as the heroine.
It is reasonable that when the "Dark Matter" team invited him to look at the script and share his opinions, he did not refuse.
It's just that after reading it, he doesn't feel very good, this script does not show Lu Gang's paranoia, madness, a kind of detachment based on distortion of physics, the world, and all kinds of politics, and the influence of the background of Chinese mainland on him when he is old, and moaning without disease.
When Streep asked him what he thought, Ye Wei was quite embarrassed, there are no absolutes in the movie, maybe Chen Shizheng will make a classic, if Streep quits because of his few words, then he is ruining other people's hard-won opportunities.
But he really didn't like this script, so he only said that "Lu Gang's adaptation lost tension", but fortunately, Streep didn't quit, she wanted to act in this story, and she also wanted to cooperate with Chen Shizheng.
"Dark Matter" is interpersonal communication, "Carrie the Witch" is planning, it is planned to start filming in May, and it has been scheduled for October 6, a week before the release of "Soul Surfer".
Ye Wei is very concerned about this project, which determines whether Nina can become a new generation of horror screaming queens, and has been following its script and crew.
The screenwriter is Lawrence Cohen, who is also the screenwriter of the old Carrie and has also adapted Stephen King's "Return of the Joker", "The Burning Forest", etc., and the director is Kimberly Pearce, who is an old friend of the old director Brian De Palma, and her debut film "Boys Don't Cry", Hilary Swank won the Oscar.
Parma is a master, and the old version of Carrie, although it is his early work, is classic enough. Now that they want to reshoot, there are really few directors who dare to take it, Lionsgate and Stephen King both want to invite female directors to film, hoping that the new version will break through in the direction of women's perspective.
Kimberly Pierce is arguably the most suitable candidate, she has not made a new film since "Boys Don't Cry" (1999), and at the end of 2003, her project "Silent Star", which she had been planning for several years, was close to starting but was shelved due to financial problems, and it is now.
She is interested in "Carrie the Witch", and that sense of despair is also what she is good at.
But the choreographer lineup is too old, this is Ye Wei's biggest doubt, and now he wants to shoot a new version, but he has found these old things. The old thing is a double-edged sword, if it is filmed, it is ginger or old spicy, and if it is smashed, it is old-fashioned and outdated, and it can't keep up with the trend of the times.
All he can do is keep up with it, give more opinions from all sides, and try his best to help Kimberly make a good movie.
"Exorcism Video 2" has not yet opened, it is scheduled for March 2007, he doesn't care, he is not available, Lionsgate can do whatever it can be.
Each of the ten girls began their own training programs - the tasks he assigned to them, reading books, movies, etc., were all materials that would help them in their performances and their respective roles, and they would vary from person to person. Like lychee, the expressiveness does not need to be strengthened, what is needed is convergence, but Modi needs to expand her imagination and expressiveness.
Among the ten people, the most tiring for him are naturally those new people, things as small as taking care of IMDb and IMDbPro's personal pages, which are all platforms for filmmakers to show themselves.
Their profiles were handed over to Jiya, who then edited them for them.
Otherwise, who's going to write for these newcomers? Especially if they don't have an agent yet. It's okay to edit it yourself, and you will basically register someone else's vest or be anonymous directly, so "By:Anonymous" is the most common case. A fool only says that it is himself, which is not convincing and stylish.
Only Mody, Candace and Alicia don't have an American agent, Ye Wei told them not to sign an agent first, he will find them for them, and it will be useful to sign a good agent.
Candace had the smallest role and the least amount of preparation, and she said that she had just time to make her music album, and Jennifer was focused on acting, but "Winter's Bones" was only scheduled to be filmed in October, and there were still 8 months left, and he asked her not to do anything else during this time, and to concentrate on training, which she accepted.
The most anxious are Xie Lin and Emma, who have less than a month left and have to learn to surf. It's okay that Xie Lin is a supporting role, there is not so much inner drama, but Emma.
Speaking of this girl, Ye Wei couldn't help sighing, what is the problem? She has a good talent, she is not lazy, her attitude is quite correct, but she has not made any progress.
How can she take her acting skills to another level?
"How's Emma doing?" asked in the evening when Julia Roberts sent a text message.
What can Ye Wei say, I can't do anything about her? I'm about to despair of her? Truthfully replied to Roberts: "Not bad, but it's not good enough, I will continue to train her." ”
"Don't forget about our deals. Roberts texted again.
"No, it won't. Ye Wei replied.
"Don't let Emma know. ”
"I understand. ”
※※
"During the entire draft process, did Ye Wei have any illegal performances?"
"Nope. ”
"Does he have any words that upset you?"
"No, but every word I say makes me worship. ”
"You don't have anything to complain about him?"
"No! I gave him a perfect score. ”
"Do you have any explanation for some media accusing Ye Weixuan of engaging in nepotism?"
"It's ridiculous! I'm a good friend, we've been talking about cooperation for a long time, and if you say there's any emotion in it, I'll say yes, is it normal for good friends to cooperate? It's just us?
What kind of nepotism, do I have to call Emma Dyge, like Nicolas Cage? No, I'm going to have the last name Roberts! No matter how hard I try, some people will say that I'm doing nepotism, and I'm really fed up. ”
Because of SAG's investigation, Emma was angry and smoky, talking about nepotism, always like this!
SAG is like this, and those media are like this, what "VIY gave Emma Roberts the heroine for Julia Roberts's sake", what "Emma Roberts is good for nothing but having a good aunt", what "Emma Roberts is short and small, a shark can bite off half of her body"......
It's ridiculous, it's hateful.
Although Wei came forward to support them, in the past few days, there are still many, many voices that have messed up her mind.
Walking down the road, it feels like everyone is pointing fingers at her, look, Emma - nepotism - Roberts!
I really have nowhere to complain, I talk too much to my friends, as if she cares very much, it's not cool at all, I tell my mother, aunt, and second aunt, and I am determined to be educated......
What's so good about Amy Rosen? Isn't it just a few years older, taller, more mature.
I still went to my father's house on the weekend, mainly to visit my 5-year-old half-sister Grace, and it was good that the child was carefree. She complained to Grace: "The worst thing is that sometimes even I doubt it. ”
Can it be, but she has always seemed to dislike her, and there are no good words in the draft, but she just got a heroine, and she and Bethany are not alike.
"Ask him!" said Grace.
If there is really any inside story, how can it be asked, unless......
A thought was born like a devil, lingering in my heart, not only did not dissipate, but grew stronger and stronger. She wanted to know the answer, but she was a little scared...... Tortured by this thought for a few days, the 10th was her 15th birthday, and she didn't want to celebrate her birthday with doubts.
Finally, on the afternoon of Monday 6th, after school, Emma went to Beverly Hills' aunt's house as a guest, and the two babies were almost one year old and three months old, and they were very lively and cute.
I followed my aunt and mother and child to play by the garden flower stand for a while, and saw my aunt smiling happily, and I was very involved in teaching the babies to learn words, and the time had come.
"HAHAHA, HOW ABOUT GOING TO THE MOVIES AT NIGHT? HELLO HEY? ”
Emma looked at the closed phone in distress, her eyes focused on her aunt, her heart was full of nervousness, and she performed in front of the Oscar for Best Actress...... She shook her phone and said normally: "Auntie, my phone is out of battery, can I borrow your phone to call back?"
"Madahar. The aunt took out her mobile phone and handed it over, and smiled again to teach the baby.
Emma secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took the phone and walked away, flipped through the address book and quickly found Vigor-yes, the huge nervousness suddenly rushed in, her fingers trembled a little, and she pressed the phone button and sent a text message: "How-is-Emma-going?"
She looked at her aunt over there, looked at her phone, and a cold sweat broke out on her back, like 007 and Tom Cruise.
Come back, VIY, reply quickly!
"Hahaha, what movie to watch? I don't know, what do you say? The new release of "Caller"? I've heard of it, but I haven't ......watched it yet."
After a while, a text message came! Emma was about to open it, and her heart jumped to her throat, and her eyes widened to see him say, "Good-but-not-Good-enough." I-will-keep-train-her。 ”
Good but not good enough?she frowned for a moment, this sentence is equivalent to saying badly......
She felt like she was opening a Pandora's box, and she could just stop and nothing happen, or find out more...... She pursed her lips and sent another text message, "Don't-forget-our-trade" She didn't use Deal, but Trade, exactly what it meant to trade.
Looking at the screen of my phone, I hope I will see a reply like "Excuse-me?" 、“What-trade?” 、“What-do-you-mean?”
New text message, "I-won't. ”
Emma's face flushed, this matter ...... There's a deal.
Her fingers trembled and she sent it again: "Don't-let-Emma-know." ”
“I-understand。 ”
It's a deal.
A deal that Emma can't let know.
I can play Bethany, it's a deal, it's nepotism, it's shady......
Ye Wei, Julia Roberts, how dare you!
Emma's eyes were red, and she was angry with all the rage that burned everything, and deleted the text messages that had been sent and received in the phone just now, and after a while, Ye Wei did not send a new text message, she adjusted her breath, pretended to be okay and returned the phone to her aunt, saying that it was time to leave, and then said goodbye and left.
"Go to Santa Monica. Sitting in the car, Emma said to the nanny driver in a deep voice, her teeth fluttering uncontrollably.
※※
"I'm in your front yard now, come back immediately! Don't say no, I have a surprise for you, I won't leave if you don't come." ”
In the evening, after work, Ye Wei was thinking about where to go, Amy went back to New York, she hadn't been back to college for a while, and she only came to Los Angeles on weekends...... Whatever! That's when he received a text message from Emma.
My Santa Monica's? definitely, otherwise she wouldn't have used the front yard. But now there are often paparazzi there! Forget about the others, he doesn't want to have an affair with Emma, for many reasons, he just doesn't want to.
Knowing that Emma really won't leave, the office and the residence are very close, and she might as well go back quickly, what kind of surprise?
In less than ten minutes, Ye Wei drove back to his residence, fortunately he didn't find any paparazzi on the street, and sure enough, he saw a young girl figure standing on the porch, with long light blonde hair and a shawl, a blue denim jacket, a pink T-shirt and white pants, holding a small brown handbag, and smiling.
Park the car in the front yard lane, Ye Wei got out of the car and walked, and asked, "Did you hit the powerball?" or buy a good book? Let's talk about it when we go inside." ”
"However, a lot of people say that I was able to win Bethany because of nepotism. ”
"Those people are idiots. ”
"Are they idiots?" As soon as she walked into the living room, Emma's voice suddenly became high-pitched, "Or am I an idiot?
Ye Wei looked back and saw that she was so excited that her face was red, and she felt that something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter!? Emma sneered and clenched her fists, "Hahaha." Letter, she adjusted her breath, pretended to be okay and returned the phone to her aunt, saying that it was time to leave, and then said goodbye and left.
"Go to Santa Monica. Sitting in the car, Emma said to the nanny driver in a deep voice, her teeth fluttering uncontrollably.
