Chapter 362: Hollywood
"Duoduo, today my brother is going to tell you a story. β
Under the stars at night, Brentwood, Ye's house. Ye Wei and Duoduo were sitting on the porch at the back of the house, and Toto was sleeping peacefully next to Duoduo.
"Yes, yes. Duoduo nodded, but she liked to listen to her brother's story.
The light shone on Ye Wei's smiling face, he looked at the night sky with some stars, and said something when he thought of something:
"Once upon a time, there was a young ranger named Duoduo. He grew up in a wonderful family and grew up carefree. One day, a group of villains came near the village, and Duoduo's family and life were hurt at any time. He knew that he was a man, he should do something, and he was lucky enough to get a book of martial arts secrets, he worked hard to cultivate, create opportunities, seize opportunities, and in two years, finally, beat the gang of villains away, the village was restored to tranquility, and life became better. β
"Great!" Duo Duo clapped his little palms, and his little face was full of smiles.
"Duoduo's prestige also spread, and everyone said that he was an unborn warrior, that he would not only stay in that small village, but that he would be known to the whole world. With every swing of his sword, a vicious beast dies, and Duoduo will be a big man!"
Duoduo was swinging his sword, and Ye Wei continued: "Sure enough, Duoduo's bravery has attracted the attention of many empires, those are the six most powerful empires, with almost the power of the whole world, and they all want to recruit Duoduo to be their general. β
His words paused, and his tone became gloomy: "But." Those are also the six most evil empires. They have great national power, but they use it to do bad things, they pretend to be good, but in fact they are mercenary, they recruit new forces everywhere, and whoever does not listen will attack him, tempt him, intimidate him, and try to make others submit and lose. β
"Huh?" Duoduo's face changed, and her big eyes rolled.
And Duoduo, Duoduo has his dreams and the ideas he pursues. In the past, when the small village was in crisis, he didn't think much about himself in order to save the village, and saved the village first! But now it is different, there is no pressure, Duoduo can make choices according to his heart like never before, he is ready to leave the village and seek his true self. β
Ye Wei looked at her, and his tone was complicated and confused: "Duoduo knows that if he goes to the six empires to be a general, he will get a lot of wealth and power, although he is subject to the empire, he can still command a powerful army, attack cities and plunder land, and be admired by all the people."
He can get almost a qiΔ, except for himself.
If he goes to the Six Great Empires, it will be tantamount to selling his soul to the devil, he is no longer a ranger, he is a lackey. Don't worry about Toto, it's just a metaphor. β

"Films belong to the director, either they have the right to cut or they don't make them" - Indiewire, the stronghold of independent films
"VIY gave Hollywood a punch, well done!" - Mr. Cranky
"Ye Wei wants to cut the right to defend the ideal" - the popular movie blog slashfilm
"Say No to Hollywood! Praise Ye Wei's Independent Spirit" - Filmmaker, the cover of the current issue: Ye Wei
The independent film media camp is simply boiling, news, commentary, interviews, how can you not admire this talented teenager?
Hollywood is a broad word, a place, an industry, and a culture. In the eyes of the people of the world, Hollywood may be equal to American films, and commercial films, literary films, and independent films are all called Hollywood films.
But in the case of filmmakers, Hollywood is not equal to American films, commercial films are Hollywood, and the Big Six are Hollywood, in any case, independent films are not, independent filmmakers are not.
Although the media public will think that George Lucas is an important part of the new Hollywood, he has long distanced himself from Hollywood, saying, "Don't put me with Hollywood, I make my independent films, and then Hollywood plagiarizes me, what can I do?"
Independent filmmakers don't think, don't like, and in many cases really have little to do with Hollywood.
Even if it is recruited and perennially Hollywood, let's talk about the DreamWorks gang that has just collapsed...... Too many people disdain Hollywood.
But not everyone can draw the line, Tom Hanks can't, neither can Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Ye Wei.
Ye Wei is an independent filmmaker, he has always said this, and it is true, "The Wedding is Coming" is an independent film, and the distributor IFC is an independent film, "The Exorcism Video" is an independent film, and the distributor Lionsgate is an independent film, and "Little Sunshine Beauty" is an independent film, and the distributor DreamWorks was an independent film at the time.
Countless people around the world call him a Hollywood star and think that he is mixed in Hollywood, but the truth is that he and Hollywood are not absolutely parallel, but not the same line.
His line is called Independent-Film.
Now that Hollywood is making great noise to recruit Ye Wei, everyone thinks that it is over, it must have become, and the prodigy is Hollywood, just like before again and again......
It turns out that this kid is a hard bone! Inheriting those talented directors who regard Hollywood as nothing, make a film for you? Okay, the final cutting right, I want my movie to be what I want.
This is the spirit of independence.
"Filmmaker" commented: "People don't understand Ye Wei's behavior because they don't understand the production process of the film, and they don't understand the huge difference between the big studio system and the independent system. VIY's attitude of having no final cutting power and no negotiation deserves a thumbs up from all independent filmmakers!"
Indiewire's review reads: "In the film industry, people who really love movies love VIY. It's a strange industry, people hate Hollywood and can't live without it, not everyone has the talent and attitude to reject Hollywood, and once such a person appears, he will be respected. β
Peter Jackson, who has been fighting with Ye Wei recently, he is not all Hollywood, he mocks, scolds, and dares to tell the truth, he must go back to New Zealand to shoot a movie, he has a lot of character.
Some time ago, the Coen brothers, who praised Ye Wei, scolded Hollywood for I don't know how many years, they will never be Hollywood. After becoming famous with their debut film "Blood Labyrinth", the two refused to be recruited by Hollywood and made a vow to make movies for them: they would never become slaves to fame and fortune.
They did, and they are still independent filmmakers today.
It is this film-first attitude that makes these people different from those commercial film directors who are struggling in Hollywood, making independent classics.
Maybe this is something that people who chase fame and fortune, people who are cautious, people who don't love movies can't understand it, but these people don't care.
"VIY is still that VIY. "He's just more comfortable, and the reason why he collapsed with the big studios wasn't the salary but the final cutting rights, which confirmed his glory." What do you think when you're faced with a check for $10 million? Ye Wei still puts the movie first, it's really cool!"
For the admiration of the independent camp, in fact, many fans expressed the same feelings, and voiced their voices in various parts of the Internet:
DomingoST wrote: "I used to have a mediocre sense of this dude, but now he's one of my favorite directors. Ellis-G wrote, "I'm glad to see that Hollywood set doesn't work with VIY, I'm not even 18 years old! Barrettabababa wrote: "You should understand that this is Yunik Kuller and Ye Wei! I'm talking about the same person. Give him the final cuts, if you don't want to regret it. β......
......
Under the vast starry sky, the loud voice of storytelling continued, and Ye Wei's eyes flickering when he looked at the starry sky, but Duoduo was a little distracted to play with Toto's ears.
"Duoduo is not without hesitation, he thinks a lot, and he is also burdened with many people's expectations. They wanted him to go to the Six Great Empires and become a formidable general. But a girl who told him 'you should be yourself' reminded him that the most important thing is what he wants, and in this regard, he can know his heart.
Duoduo didn't want to be a lackey! He didn't even want to have anything to do with the Six Great Empires. No one can say that it will be good in the future, but now, no!
He wants to try, try to hold on to his dreams, try to find himself, try what he wants to try!
Duoduo has to try to continue to be a ranger, independent, free, brave, and do what he thinks is right, even if he dies because of it, it's not a big deal, Duoduo is a ranger.
So, why go to the Six Great Empires? Duoduo opened a condition that they would not meet his conditions for going, and he knew that they would not, and even if they could, he would not necessarily go, just tell them his attitude. But the six empires were furious, and they shouted at Duoduo, 'How dare you!'
You're just a mere ranger, and now you have the opportunity to be a general, how dare you say no? How dare you do this? How dare you!?"
"Hahahaha!" Ye Wei laughed as he spoke, stood up, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "'Yes, I dare.'" 'Say more. β
Duoduo and Toto also got up and laughed and played on the porch, almost not listening.
"There are more than six empires in this world, if you look away from them, don't be afraid of the fog, in fact, there are free and independent places everywhere!
Duoduo understood this and remembered this, his prestige was not given by the six empires, and his village was a free and independent place.
He knew what he had to do, to get out of the free village, not to enter a big cage, but to make the village stronger!
One day, he will establish his own independent kingdom, a new kingdom.
One day, the magnates of the Six Great Empires would beg him to go and give him what he wanted, but Duoduo would say, 'me, don't bother me!' β
They would be amazed to see that the ranger of the mundane became the monarch, and a new kingdom arose, creating another land of freedom and independence!
Dream Chaser Alliance.
Isn't that the little village he once had?"

Because of the recent controversies, some people hate Ye Wei, some people prefer Ye Wei, some people are waiting, and some people believe that there is another truth.
However, in the media reports, the little tyrant's career troubles go far beyond the breakdown of negotiations with the big six studios!
"Ye Wei has lost the battle for the adaptation rights of "Lovely Bones"?" - "The Hollywood Reporter"
"King Kong" is being screened, Peter Jackson is popular, Ye Wei is even more popular, and the TLB battle is naturally attracting attention. There are a lot of reports about Ye Wei's loss, this is the consensus of the media, and fans are also inclined to it, everyone knows Alice Sieberd's life experience, she and Susie who have been violently assaulted by Yan zhΓ²ng.
How could it be possible to hand over the TLB adaptation rights to Ye Wei after violently hurting people?
It may be that the "Soul Surfer" project will kick Ye Wei away. Such a true inspirational story, the Hamilton family are all devout Christians, Ye Wei used to have three pounds of nails in the bad boat, and the bad boy also had three pounds of sunshine, and now he is almost a juvenile delinquent. What do the Hamiltons think? Not looking for anyone else to work with?
The Christmas holiday is approaching, and the entertainment news is mostly about where celebrities go on vacation and where to buy New Year's goods, and VIY is really a strange landscape in the movie section.
Ye Wei was abandoned by many projects, and Ye Wei almost lost a qiΔ......
Whether they like him or hate him, people are waiting for Ye Wei to say a few words, fans are looking forward to it, and the media is also looking forward to it, they all know that he will definitely say a few words!
It's incredible how much has happened lately that VIY hasn't even said it yet.
In the past few days, the click-through rate of Ye Wei and Yunik Kuller's blogs is much higher than usual, and die-hard fans like Kelsey refresh it several times a day, and go to it when they have time; On Thursday night, they finally got it!
All those who see Ye Wei's new article, no matter what the reaction is later, will be stunned first, that symbol pattern is ......!?
