602 The key to life is to live in the moment

"Letter from Iwo Jima" won Best Foreign Language Film, and Eastwood took the stage to accept the award with Spielberg.

The Best Original Score goes to "Lovely Bones"! Jenn Kezmelik won the Golden Globe for the first time (1/2). The supporters were delighted and the girls rejoiced. But everyone wants to see Ye Wei on stage again, or which future girl will appear.

But the Best Director award did not cause an upset, in fact, fans knew the result as soon as they saw that it was Spielberg who presented the award, Martin Scorsese. Everyone in the camera was happy for Old Martin, and Ye Wei also applauded and shouted, there is no hope and no disappointment.

Sasha Baron Cohen was crowned Best Actor in the Musical/Comedy category for "Borat", and "Dream Girl" won Best Picture in the Musical/Comedy category. When Philip Hoffman appeared to present the Best Actress in a Drama Series, the tension enveloped the ballroom, would she be the "Queen" or the future girl?

The audience cheered, and Mirren said: "Thank you to a woman named Elizabeth, this award should belong to her, because I feel that you love her and not me." ”

Ye Wei made a joke of Liz next to him: "She's thanking you." The Norwegian Liz has little respect for the Queen: "I'm a little embarrassed to say that. ”

Forrest Whitaker of "The Last Dictator" won the Best Actor in the Drama category, and there is little suspense for the best actor and actress at this year's Oscars.

At the end of the awards dinner, California Governor and action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger came to the stage on crutches to present the best film in the drama category, this award is the most suspenseful, the results of the outpost battles are very divided, "Departed", "Winter Bones", "Babel"?

Schwarzenegger said in his gruffy voice, "Babel." ”

"Dream Girl" took home 3 trophies, and all the other movies took one each, and the one in "Babel" is undoubtedly the heaviest. The banquet hall was in a boil, and the crew members of "Babel" such as Iñárritu, Pete, Jolie, and Blanchett were really excited, and the other guests applauded.

"You know that the key to life is to live in the moment (The-key-to-life-is-Carpe-diem). Ye Wei comforted the girls, in the words he learned when he traveled in Hong Kong before, the most important thing in being a man is to be happy.

They nodded their heads, and he added, "We are all still young, and there are many opportunities." Liz asked, "But you're going to play football." He shrugged, "I'll always make movies." Are you hungry?" Liz replied, "Hungry." He took a small cake that he had never eaten and handed it to her: "I'll give you this one." Liz happily took it to eat. Jennifer was a little jealous: "Dude, I'm also defeated." Alicia exclaimed, "And me." "Ronan is not involved.

"She has a bigger stomach and gets hungry easily, you are different. Ye Wei said.

"Like Godzilla. Liz nodded and ate half of the little cake in one bite.

This year's Golden Globe Awards came to an end, and there was a lot of news about backstage interviews and photography, charity activities and many celebration parties.

Wei Mi was coaxing, this time Ye Wei and the ten future girls took a photo in the same frame! Their stars were smiling around him holding the trophy, competing for his trophy, and taking turns to lift the trophy...... Ye Wei also took photos with old Martin, Lao Si, Eastwood and other old people, and hugged Streep to kiss her cheek, smiling happily.

This bad boy has attended a few celebration parties, but the media said that he left early, where to go? This time there was no paparazzi, Ye Wei posted a selfie of him and Lily on Facebook that night, and he was still wearing the suit. The blog post reads: "It's all about your smile. ”

According to Nielsen's preliminary survey report on the 16th, the ceremony on the night of the 15th attracted an average of 22 million U.S. viewers, making it the most-watched program in the United States that night. Ye Wei took the stage to accept the award was one of the peaks, with about 26 million viewers watching. Golden Globe ratings rebounded slightly for the second year in a row.

The media have been judging the outfits of the female guests, and the worst dress of "People" was won by Cameron Diaz, because "her lips were too red to match the princess's white dress at all", and the best dress award went to Jennifer Lawrence, "The off-white dress perfectly released her elegant and glamorous side".

Lawrence has been praised by many media, and Olsen is a little worse, winning in his youth and beauty. Rachel Zoe and her army of girls are in the limelight!

The excitement of the Golden Globes has boosted the popularity of many of the films being screened, which is reflected in the box office charts for the week of January 12-18.

This week's champion is the new song and dance film "Street Dance Boy", the runner-up "Dream Girl" continues to be strong, and the 7th place is last year's Sundance film "Leading Dog", which was finally released after a year of global buying, and 1289 theaters received 8.79 million in the first week, which can only be a loss to make money. In the film, Timberlake's performance was praised, and several sexy girls were also quite eye-catching, Amanda Seyfried, and Amber Heard, so her old scandal with Ye Wei was brought up by the gossip media.

TLB in Week 10 collected $1,465,794 in 363 theaters, bringing the total box office to $140,394,611. Winter Bone Box Office in Week 5 was a steady gain, with an average of $18,132 per theater in 105 theaters taking $1,903,860, and the total box office rose to $6,662,894, expanding to 308 stores next week in anticipation of Oscar nomination week.

......

Ye Wei's life is very lively, the hustle and bustle of the awards season is not the focus of his life, happiness is!

The sun of love shines every day, football training in the afternoon, busy to practice skydiving, two months have been from LEVEL-1 to the ultimate LEVEL-7, single free skydiving. For the first time, I jumped from an airplane in the sky alone, and I felt free.

The construction of the Spotpass network progressed quickly, and on Friday the 19th, the three brothers signed multiple contracts at the Salton lawyer's office to register a new IT company, Spotpass. He injected $500,000 in founding capital, accounting for 50% of the shares, and served as the chairman, Chen Nuo 30%, the technical director, who was responsible for writing the website quickly, and Lev 20%, the CEO, who was responsible for running the company, building a headquarters, recruiting employees, and so on.

Their motivation is very high, although this thing will definitely not make money in the short term, this is a long-term project, first make it successful, whether to find angel funds in the future, whether to develop their own or sell to Microsoft at a high price, Google and the like are said separately, now the most attractive thing for them is the meaning of online crowdfunding.

In fact, this is to put crowdfunding on the Internet, and there are traces of how to do it. The legal affairs of the website are all in cooperation with Salton's lawyers, and the old boy has already changed to a large office in a high-end office building, which is spacious and shiny, and has a few assistants.

Ye Wei was there as casually as the bathroom at home, because he was the lawyer's biggest and most core client.

If successful, how many matters will Solton Attorneys handle and take over?

Because there are only a lot of legal documents for financing and investment generated by online crowdfunding, it is said that for the production of independent films, all the contracts under the Film and Television Entertainment Law must be signed, such as the "Collection-Account-Management Agreement" (Collection-Account-Management-Agreement), which is also the most commonly used and must-have.

The purpose of this contract is to regulate the management and protection of the investment in the film by film investors and producers according to the idea of the contract, and it is as follows:

【“PROJECT-NAME”

This-Agreement(“Agreement”)is-made-on_______and-has-effect-as-of-the_____day-of_______(“Effective-Date”)BETWEEN:

1.Collection-account-management-company

2.Producer

3.Sales-Agent

4.Financier

5.Investors

6.Talent

7.Completion-Guarantor

Severally-and-collectively-the“Party”or“Parties”

......】

[Project Name]

This contract (this "Contract") is entered into on ________________

1. Collection account management company

2. Producer

3. Sales agent

4. Financing lenders

5. Investors

6. Entertainers

7. Completion guarantee company

The above parties are individually referred to as "a party" or "the party" and collectively referred to as the "parties" or "seven parties".

......】

What then? Ten vague items have been identified and agreed upon by the parties: 1. Definitions, 2. Collection management companies, collection accounts and responsibilities, 3. Statements, payments, accounting and auditing matters, 4. Allocation of total receivables received, 5. General terms, 6. Arbitration, 7. Termination, 8. Notices, statements and notices of payment of proceeds, 9. Signatories and partners, and 10. Governing Law.

These are general basic terms and conditions that will be adjusted by the lawyer on a case-by-case basis.

This thick stack of contracts and annexes ensures that investors have the ability to control some of the investment risks without understanding the film industry. Maybe "The Wedding is Coming" will happen, but at least you can see a finished film, and it won't end up with the project aborted, or someone will take the money and leave.

These two deadliest risks, the former has a completion guarantee company to keep an eye on, and most independent projects need a "completion guarantee contract", otherwise the funds you raise may not be able to enter the collection account, and this supervision makes if the project financier or producer is stupid, the project will be taken away immediately. The latter is watched by the collection account management company, and the money does not all go to the producer at once, and when each payment is used, how it is used, and whether the parties agree to have no conflict must be clear and clear before the management company calls.

"Collection Account Management Contract" is just a small spot in the contract to be used in the film and television entertainment industry, Ye Wei doesn't want to deal with those things, he has a headache when he sees it, and I believe that the majority of ordinary investors are too. But the website needs to do this well, and tell every user well, so that they understand that the money invested will not be easily taken by anyone to spend money in Las Vegas, and with trust, so that online crowdfunding can work.

Maybe this is "different national conditions", Ye Wei doesn't know what the law and environment for making movies in China are, so he doesn't comment, but he has always heard about its censorship system, oriented to China's domestic films and imported foreign films.

This is not good, that is not good, censorship is undoubtedly choking the creator's neck for creation, and it is difficult to breathe smoothly.

However, as a weak and immature market, he feels that appropriate government censorship and restrictions are necessary, which can effectively resist the invasion of some ideological-form forms and the import of foreign cultures. The question is brutal and simple, either resist or be taken over by Hollywood.

Of course, he didn't want the latter to happen, and in an interview with the Chinese media, he also said that "filmmakers better not use censorship as the reason for their own failures", and who is completely free to make films? Coppola didn't make "The Godfather" either. All kinds of restrictions don't just come from government censorship, even if they are strangled by a whip, finding other ways to tell a good story is the attitude that creators should have. We want to resist and fight, but how can we say, "I can't make good movies because of censorship"? That's purely bad.

The state of the film industry is composed of many aspects, such as the professional level of the practitioners in various departments, the level of investors, the distribution of power, the attitude of creation, the needs of the audience, the heritage of cultural content, brokerage, management, law, distribution, media, etc., and of course, the love of films.

A large number of filmmakers - producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, cinematography, lighting, art, editing, sound effects, soundtracks, visual effects...... There are also places with a large number of movie fans, and it is impossible to fail to produce good movies because of censorship.

But......

Ye Wei has recently suffered from China's censorship. He has always hoped that his films would be introduced to the mainland market, and distributors have talked about it. However, "The Wedding is Coming" has a god and cannot be introduced, "Exorcism Video" has ghosts and cannot be introduced, and "Little Sunshine Beauty" has "non-negative drug addicts" and cannot be introduced.

Well, he can accept it, and the national situation is different. Recently, TLB and SS have started to enter the overseas market, and both have performed well and have not disappointed. The latest blockbusters such as "Happy Feet" and "007: Casino Royale" have entered the mainland, and he is staring wide-eyed at how the girl trilogy can also enter one, right?

"Lovely Bones" has gods and ghosts, and it can't be introduced! It has been released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but fortunately, the translation name is not called "Wei Zai Kiss" and "The Bones of Gods and Ghosts".

"Soul Surfer" has religious indoctrination, which is afraid to restrict the will of minors and cannot be introduced......

Ye Wei has a lot of complaints about this, it is true that Bethany is a devout Christian, but SS is not just a Christian movie! Well, at least the reason for this shooting makes sense. What's going on with Tama's "Winter's Bones"? Such a true reflection that America is not a paradise!

Weinstein and China Film are also full of confidence, and the leaders' opinion is that it can be introduced, but some scenes of drug use should be deleted, Rui being beaten violently, Rui following the old women to sawing hands and other violent scenes. This is already last month, although he was speechless, he agreed to let the leaders cut and watch, and as a result, he cut the DVD sent back this month and took a look, he was so angry that he cursed, almost the entire paragraph was deleted, and it was a fart!

"it!" Ye Wei told Harvey Weinstein, "I won't agree to such a cut, don't talk about it, I won't sell this copyright, you guys can go elsewhere." ”

In this way, he will continue to hold the record of no film released in Chinese mainland.

Censorship, he thought, is not about censorship, it's about how it's censored.

The saddest thing is to live up to the expectations of mainland movie fans, as if hearing them say, "Three years, three years, three years, three years, ten years, all come, brother!" Those paragraphs really can't be deleted, but there is no grading system in the mainland, so there is really no way to do this.

Ye Wei announced on Sina Blog: "It's a pity that the girl trilogy can't meet with everyone." The two films are out of line, and "Winter's Bones" is asked to cut out a few key passages, in which case the whole film loses its soul. Find your own way. That's right, he was referring to piracy.

As soon as the article was published, he refreshed and saw that Chinese netizens had scolded the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the media would definitely report it, and he was not responsible.

Despite this, he does not have zero relations with the mainland, in fact, the itinerary has some activities arranged in the agenda, about charity, film, such as being a guest at the "film master class".

The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has done a lot of things, such as ratings, like fighting global piracy all day long to brag about the value of its existence but not achieve much. But it is not completely unkind, on the contrary, it will do something "good-will-building-and-pay-forward", doing good without any return, and making constructive investments.

This is necessary to develop a market, especially in a potentially large market like Chinese mainland with the potential for the introduction of quota restrictions and censorship. Hollywood's strategy is to support the development of the Chinese film market and the growth of Chinese filmmakers, and then open branches in the Asia-Pacific region, adopt the method of co-production, and use local talents to make local movies and make local money.

One of the MPAA's film masterclasses in collaboration with organizations in other countries is to invite the biggest names in the U.S. film industry to give lectures to students in the region on how to make better films. Last year, in 2006, the MPAA and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China jointly organized the first seminar held in the mainland, which was divided into two classes: production and screenwriting.

Among them, Xue Xiaolu from the screenwriting seminar won the first place in the proposal competition, and the prize was to bring her screenwriting work to the six major Hollywood studios to propose her project to the production department. However, in the end, the project was not successfully established, which was too difficult, and there were too many scripts to be filmed in Hollywood.

That's just an experience, but Xue Xiaolu has such a journey, and I believe she has a lot of new understanding of everything in the movie.

Developing the Chinese market is a top priority for Hollywood, so the Film Masterclass will continue this year.

Ye Wei received a guest invitation from MPAA, and he agreed, and he witnessed the development of Korean cinema with his own eyes. The Korean approach is straightforward and effective, throwing a large number of filmmakers to Hollywood, learning and learning, and then these people go back to make films about Korean society and culture, which in turn brings the Hollywood team to South Korea.

He thinks China can do the same. However, all immature markets, especially those that have grown by leaps and bounds, will definitely go through a chaotic phase.

Susan Sontag said in her "The Decline of Cinema" that the end of the film has led to a regression in the quality of the audience, and the low demand of the audience has led to the decline in the quality of the film. What about the Chinese market? The audience hasn't seen a few movies yesterday, but today movies are everywhere, and the question is, who is going to say, what kind of movie is it? What kind of variety show?

What happens to a huge market with few movie viewers?

Of course, it is all kinds of chaos, the audience will first be turned into the cinema by all kinds of gimmicks and selling points, fans, feelings, and various commercial marketing, but those are bad movies, and the negative emotions are growing day by day, until they are exhausted, the movies are all garbage, and they don't want to watch it, so they turn to other entertainment consumption. The film market has fallen into a low ebb, and the rise in audience demand has forced the quality of films to rise.

So he felt that it must be a long process. In addition, in the case of commercial films, when a market in which a lot of money can be made from cheap garbage has not changed, how can businessmen who are not obsessed with movies have the patience to listen to what the film makers talk about? Only when the creation of money is valuable, can the creation be respected.

This goes back to the audience. But the most important thing about being a person is to be happy, watching commercial films is not to be happy, you can watch whatever you want, and it's good for the audience to spend money and be happy. Who knows in the future, if you think with kindness and hope, maybe it's not that bad, and the amazing Chinese audience understands movies very well as soon as they come out.

In any case, Ye Wei is willing to do his part to help the rise of Chinese filmmakers, although the effect of the workshop is not immediate, and it is better than nothing.

The MPAA Asia office is still looking for partners in the mainland, and the time and place have not yet been decided, but it is not difficult to have a guest like him.

Now that she is free, Ye Wei is very interested in activities in China, especially interested in China's new generation of young actors, those who are acting geniuses, those interesting and cool beautiful girls who are fascinated, you can also do some exchanges if you have the opportunity.

Joke.

......

I heard that Ye Wei was going to the UK for a trial, and Emma Watson wanted to meet him. In fact, she and he are not friends so far, they don't have any personal friendships, it's time to meet for dinner and exchange. She didn't mind making a special trip to Manchester to meet this talented man.

She asked her agent to help contact her, but what she got was Ye Wei's sentence "Not available!"

It really made her a little angry, so why not? It's just a normal meeting, she just wants to talk about cooperation, and she has no interest in him.

After thinking about it, Watson asked for Ye Wei's email address and sent an email:

"Hello, Mr. Arrogant. I'm Emma Watson and people usually call me Hermione. I don't know who I am. I know it's not over yet, I just want to finally be free and be myself again. The sooner the better. Can you help me?"
