Chapter 209: Larry Crowe

Ye Wei, this demon boy!

Brian felt like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who was scrambled by a few words and actions from Viy, and in fact the whole CAA was shaken.

First, Julia Roberts decided to join "Little Sunshine Beauty", and then Hanks revealed to him that he was also seriously considering joining!

Two business cards of Hollywood actors and actresses, and two ace customers of CAA, are likely to join forces to star in an independent film!

Of course, the company is nervous about this, and he is certainly more nervous than anyone else, as agents, he and Kevin Hovein both hope that the first "Hanks + Roberts" will happen in a high-cost commercial film, so that they will have a decent commission payment, which is where their interests lie.

For this reason, they will do everything they can to help "Charlie Wilson's War" or other projects attract investment, not "Little Sunshine Beauty", the two are too far apart.

If Ye Wei wasn't also his customer, a customer of CAA, this kid would have already suffered a lot of resistance from CAA, and now it is not nothing.

But this kid is really a smart person, taking into account the interests of the brokerage team, saying that as long as this happens, the company and them will get a lot of rewards.

One is that "Little Sunshine Beauty" and his next project and future projects will try his best to cooperate with CAA's "integration of human resources", which means that he will accept more candidate recommendations and arrangements from the company's crew to achieve a win-win situation.

This verbal commitment is likeable, but what is more appealing is the second aspect, the film's production team will have an additional assistant producer, Brian Sberair.

Brian is really tempted, he wants this beautiful title, the AP of the "Hanks + Roberts + Genius" film, as long as it is successful, it will be a boost to his status in the industry, and the most fascinating thing is the third aspect, money, his AP contract will have a profit bonus of at least $3 million, which will be paid in full by the Dream Chaser League.

On the side of Roberts's team, the kid also took care of it, and Hovein will get a profit bonus of $1 million, which will be paid for by the Dream Chaser Alliance.

When hearing Ye Wei put it forward, Brian couldn't help but sigh that the demon boy really has the characteristics of a top producer, that is, he is very good at writing blank checks.

How can he get the 3 million? Support Hanks to join, and then when "Little Sunshine Beauty" is a big hit, and the Dream Chaser League is profitable (not at the box office, but the total profit), he can get this money, which is equivalent to giving Hanks a contract with a salary of 30 million US dollars.

He tossed around for a year or two for the Charlie Wilson War project, which was only that number, and now he can easily get a blank check.

Brian is very conflicted, as long as "Little Sunshine Beauty" is successful, his profit is huge, more than the ordinary way, count it, the commercial value of "Hanks + Roberts" has risen instead of falling, and the commission for that commercial film is easier to get; one more super trump card, Ye Wei; AD title and 3 million windfall.

And there is no problem with Hanks's schedule, if it is in July next year, it will not work, because Hanks is close to joining the commercial blockbuster project "The Da Vinci Code", which is scheduled to be filmed in July next year and released in the summer of 2006;

In fact, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't let go of that empty check, and he knew that success was already a high probability thing.

There has been a new change from Roberts's support, and because the smart viy doesn't care about personal immediate interests, he doesn't seem to think about making money from his debut.

The 4 million bonus is not a small amount, Ye Weida can mention yƬ to share the net profit of the film, but he doesn't, so Pretong and DreamWorks will be happy, not only will they support this if they have no opinion, anyway, they don't spend their money, but they get the help of two big agents.

That kid doesn't want anything, he just wants a chance to become famous, he wants to become a man of the times, and only in this way can he become.

A lot of people say, "As long as Little Sunshine is successful, I'll win", isn't that why CAA's "participants from all angles are winners" strategy? When a project does this, has a topic, and has a mature publisher, then it's very difficult for it to fail, at least at the box office.

The winner is also PR, Leslie's side has already expressed its support, of course, how much work can this bring her?

Regardless of whether Ye Wei is a good boy or a bad boy, there is a difference between having public relations and not having public relations, a bad boy with good public relations is called charm, and a bad boy with bad public relations is called scum...... The more attention you get, the more PR you have.

That kid may have been planning for a long time, or maybe he made a mistake, and he created a great situation.

Brian sighed, it's really hateful and loved, Lovett who heard the wind was angry, right?

But there was one thing that made him angry enough, that kid's relationship.

Roberts's attitude is already different, and she doesn't interfere with whether Ye Wei and Emma are dating. The problem is, Ye Wei started dating the landlord's daughter! Don't want a celebrity model in line, ask for an ordinary Canadian girl, how will this help his career?

It's really better to find a little model, then there is a little bit of fame, and now there is no at all.

No one in the United States knows any of the members of the rhythmic gymnastics national youth team, let alone Canada.

Fortunately, he should just be playing, otherwise why wouldn't he arrange for exposure? It's better to have a girlfriend than nothing.

......

"Tom, I don't need to say more about that stinky boy's talent, you unearthed him, and you know this better than anyone else. ā€

"Yes, I know, but Brian's side has been taken care of, and Gary thinks it's okay, but "The Polar Express" will be released next month, and I'll see how it goes. ā€

"That's how it is, if you look at it again, you're a little too cautious, you're failing? I can't imagine how many mistakes he has to make to fail with us, Alan Arkin on set, and editors in the editing room? If he fails, it's only our fault, and we all have something wrong with our eyes. ā€

"I'm not worried about failing......"

"Then what are you hesitating about? Isn't it an honor to play such a movie once in a hundred years? Tom, you should be doing me a favor. ā€

"This is a project I invested in, I can't help you, it's just what I expected when I first invested, it's completely different, it's completely different......

"It's not our first day in the film industry, and the unexpected is the most normal, isn't it?

"Half and half?"

"Not bad. ā€

......

Back to Toronto for a week, Ye Wei's life was calm and happy, learning acting in Wexford during the day, and now meeting Nina at school, she definitely has a smiling face and electric eyes, once there was no one around, he was also kissed by her on the cheek, and he was enthusiastic.

At night, now that he has a car and a prospective girlfriend, he goes out to play more naturally, but his work efficiency has not decreased much, but more aura, she is his new muse.

She also brought good luck, and the negotiations on the Abigir side were very smooth, the salary, treatment, etc. were easy to say, and the working hours per day were also agreed, 6 hours.

This is an illegal long time, and according to the law, Abigir can only work 4-5 hours a day, which is too little.

The total shooting cycle was only two months (9 weeks), and Roberts might have to bring the baby to the set, which would have wasted a lot of time, weekends and holidays, and if you don't get more time with the child actors, the whole crew will fall into a kind of irritability to rush to work, how can you shoot good things.

Ye Wei doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, the crew will definitely hire a teacher to teach on the set for Abigier, 3 hours of study time a day, that is, be more tolerant in terms of play and total time, and it is good to have 6 hours in front of the camera.

Abigier has so many film appointments, in addition to being a talented actor, but also because she is professional enough, her family and team are cooperative enough, and she has 6 hours a day outside of the contract, OK.

It's starting to snow in Toronto, and the crew really has to think about the weather, and if it's still a mess by then, they have to go back to California to shoot, so they need to make a good candidate, including a detailed production schedule and locations, otherwise if it happens, it's not fun to be paralyzed there.

He doesn't have to do this work, the production director does it, and his job is......

On the evening of Tuesday the 19th, Ye Wei was sitting at his desk in the room, turning on the computer and processing some work emails, when Hanks' call was a little sudden.

"Good evening, Tom. ā€

"However, it's still evening here in Los Angeles, and I've just finished a meeting. Hanks' tone was relaxed, "I have a decision about your invitation. ā€

Ye Wei couldn't help but hold his breath, his heart was beating, "How is it?" I heard a cowboy Woody-like laugh coming from my mobile phone: "I'll join." Ye Wei suddenly raised his left fist high, and exclaimed excitedly, "Great", I can't believe it, it's crazy, God, I really did it......

"I can see your professional ability, your hard work on this project, Julia dares to join, and I have no reason not to join. But as a friend, as a collaborator, I have to say a few more words, you should know that you are actually very lucky, how many people in Los Angeles for five years, ten years, countless setbacks and empty joys, before you really get a small opportunity to prove yourself, and you have less than a year, you have a huge opportunity, you have hard work, smart, you are also lucky. ā€

Listening to Hanks's earnest words, Ye Wei was touched, and what he said was not wrong at all, and nodded: "Yes, absolutely, I know, I cherish it very much." ā€

"I'm not worried that you're not doing a good job on set, but off the set, I'm really a little worried that you're too young for some things, and I just want to remind you to think about everything so that we can have a happy cooperation. A lot of people trust you now, you stinky boy, don't let everyone down. ā€

"The word disappointed is so long, I never like it, I can't even spell it, it's enough to score points. Ye Wei said very seriously, and said again in his heart: Tom, I am not a disappointing person, I am a surprising person.

"It's good that you understand, I know you understand, this is your best chance, if you miss it, there will be no better chance. Get ready, the addition of me and Julia will keep you busy, but it's up to you what we'll get this time next year. ā€

Ye Wei raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, I believe that this time next year will be the moment of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and it will be my moment!

Tom, Julia, and you, are all the best supporting actors!
