On February 19, 1988, a third-generation Chinese immigrant boy was born in Los Angeles with his name vigor-ivan-yeah, the Chinese name Ye Wei, which means the only thing. No one would have known at the time that 15 years later, the boy shook the world.

It all started with an amazing idea that Ye Wei, who was 15 years old at the time, wanted to make a movie, either in the future or now. ”

With the narration of the rich middle-aged male voice, the documentary began to play, and on the TV screen was Ye Wei's childhood family image.

As a movie fan, Ye Haogen has taken a lot of childhood images of his son, which gives screenwriter and director Nanette Postern a lot of room to develop.

At this time, the audience saw the baby Ye Wei who was learning to climb, then a toddler, then a two- or three-year-old child running on the grass, a three- or four-year-old child playing with a castle stacked with blocks, and a five- or six-year-old child holding a water hose spraying water on a yellow Labrador.

"Hahaha!" viy's relatives, friends, and fans all laughed, most of them saw these childhood images of Ye Wei for the first time, which was really interesting!

Lily was also laughing, probably at that time, she and her mother moved from England to Los Angeles, lived not far away, attended a school closer to each other, and didn't know each other until ten years later, which is amazing.

"Look at him, 1∑ I've been so bad since I was a child!" Nina was laughing, picking up Miss Gu and rubbing her cool and wet nose with her cheek, as if she was being kissed by him.

"Who's that?" said Duoduo, who had never seen the dog before. Toto glanced at it with his eyes open, and he didn't recognize it!

"That's Lacey. Ye Haogen smiled softly. Gu Qiao's eyes also showed some reminiscence, "Lacey is the first dog member of our family, he went to heaven when he was eleven years old and walked peacefully. Your brother was 7 years old at the time, and he couldn't accept Lacey's departure, so we won't talk about it. But?"

"I miss Lacey......" came from behind the couch, "my old fellow, my tooth fairy, my superman, childhood ......"

The documentary does not pay much attention to Ye Wei's childhood, and after the introduction at the beginning, he entered his teenage years, the beginning of the dream-chasing story.

On the TV screen, an empty shot of the middle school of Harvard-Westlake School appeared, and the narrator said: "Ye Wei's middle school is a well-known private school with a long history. 'Viy is a unique student, an unusual prick', is what the teachers collectively say about him. ”

A middle-aged and elderly woman in black professional clothes appeared, and the introduction text was typed in the lower left corner of the screen, "Harvard-Westlake Middle School Principal, Jenny High-Bricht", she smiled: "That day, he suddenly burst into my office and said, 'For the sake of my own body, I have a strict request for the school', and I asked what, 'The cafeteria must add a Chinese rice cook!'"

Highbrecht's face was surprised, "He united hundreds of students to sign to support him, and we had to pay attention to the needs of the students and hire a rice cook." ”

"Haha!" Looking at the headmistress's helpless and emotional appearance, there was another burst of audience laughter in front of the TV.

In the living room of Coppola's villa, there was even more excitement among the young people: "I participated!", "I have it too, it's in the seventh grade, haha!" Lev shouted: "Everyone who can eat delicious Chinese food in junior high school should be grateful to Brother Wei, he won it back!"

"What a prick!" many people say.

And the narrator said: "Ye Wei is good at uniting people to do things together. ”

"He's a leader. A middle-aged man in a tracksuit, the coach of the Harvard-Westlake football team, Matteo Kerioni, appeared on TV, and he said: "The team with Ye Wei and without Ye Wei will be two teams, he infects his teammates with his fighting spirit, as long as he is there, the team will never be a team that will give up." ”

"If you want to tell Ye Wei's amazing story, you have to talk about his family ...... first"

With the narration, the images on the TV briefly and accurately explained things such as the Ye family, Weiduo Image, and "The Wedding is Coming", and the box office was drawn at 2,370 a week, and this middle-class family fell into a crisis of bankruptcy because of the movie dream, and Ye Wei's life suddenly changed dramatically.

The narrator said: "Ye Wei said in an interview, 'I used to be a pampered bastard who didn't understand the difficulties of the world, I never seemed to know what annoyance was, and I didn't care about many things. When I saw that my mom was looking for a job, my dad was frowning, and there was a lot less laughter in the house, I knew.

I also knew that I had to stand up and do something, for the sake of my family, for myself. ’

15-year-old Ye Wei thought about it, and then he thought, since he wants to do something, why don't he do what he likes and what he is good at, why not touch it...... Dreams?"

At this moment, the audience in front of the TV was quiet, and something was churning in their hearts.

The girl holding the remote control didn't press the turntable, which seemed a little interesting, and after a while, I don't know how he did it. Then I gradually saw that Ye Wei tried to find a movie script, and was shocked when he came into contact with "Little Sunshine Beauty", and was determined to buy it, but the bid for the focus movie was $500,000.

500,000 is neither more nor less, depending on who it is, it is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for viy at that time.

The narrator said, "Ye Wei thought of his friends again, and he knew that it wasn't just him who had the idea of doing something, they all did. ”

"If you ask me, did you have absolute confidence that you would succeed? 500,000 won't be waste? No, I didn't. We just need a chance. ”

Ye Wei's interview sounded, and a DV video was broadcast on TV, and the audience saw that in a large empty-out utility room, sitting or standing was crowded with teenagers and boys, most of them were Asian, but there were also many other ethnic groups, Ye Wei was standing at the front and giving a speech, so exciting!

Coppola's house was silent with suppressed excitement, and everyone in the Dream Chaser Alliance was in high spirits, as if they had returned to that day, huddled in that cramped but hopeful utility room, listening to the words of the man who awakened their blood, he said that time was precious, he called them nerds, and he let them choose their own answers.

"Movie! We're going to make a movie! That's the opportunity. It's up to you, you can choose to turn around and leave this room and get on with your old life, it's okay, I'll tear your name out of the books and throw it in the trash, or you can choose to stay and do something big and do something right. ”

After Ye Wei's fist raising and shouting, no one chose to leave, everyone was responding excitedly, everyone had to do something right!

"This company embodies our youth, hard work and dreams, and everyone here has the right to participate in its naming. So, the name of our company!?"

"Dream Catcher Alliance!!

"This is also my will, Dream League Movies! I believe that our company, its light will shine in the United States and illuminate the world in the future! It will become a temple in the hearts of countless fans, and it will become a legendary !!."

Suddenly, a bright and high-spirited soundtrack sounded, like a shocking thunder!

The "Dream Chaser Alliance!!" Coppola's family was suddenly resounded by the same shouts in unison, everyone was excited, some people were waving their fists, some people were dancing, Connie and other girls were smiling brightly, we have done it! Right now, at least millions of viewers across the United States are watching this moment!

This legend!

Master Gia sighed, I don't know if he was drunk or excited, his face was flushed, "If I had been there at the time, I wouldn't have been able to help but blow it to him, it's so cool......"

"This idiot ......" Nina hugged Miss Gu tightly, her heart was beating uncomfortably, and she moved her body a little helplessly, surprised, excited, infatuated, and even a little scared, she now knew exactly what the viy of "letting you give your soul to him" was, he was a fireball that could burn a qiē......

"I knew I was going to Harvard-Westlake. Emma was so excited that the thought flashed through her that the girls in the girls' school really couldn't do such crazy things.

Lily clasped her hands and smiled, when the school really blew up and made a big fuss after their crowdfunding was exposed, and then soon she started dating him......

"Great!", "It's worth it, it's worth watching this documentary!", "Viy's words are really classic!", "I think he's going to run for president in the future!"

There are countless young people in front of the TV, and Viy's speech is cool, but the coolest thing is not how loud he said it at the time, but how much he did it later! He took them on TV and told the world about their passion!

How many youthful dreams are carried behind "Little Sunshine Beauty"?

"I know what to do, I want to pursue what I want, I want to be an actor. Kelsey Chow suddenly made up her mind.

Bethany looked at the family members around him and said resolutely: "Isn't this God's instruction? We should make it clear to Ye Wei that he is the person! If there is any inspiration for my story, no one is more suitable to tell it than him." The family members nodded their heads, right!

The girl began to understand, no wonder...... No wonder Lily Collins and Gia Coppola are all on board...... They're not stupid, they're not crazy, they're just impressed......

The documentary continued to be broadcast on TV, and after Ye Wei successfully crowdfunded, he bought the script. But this is only the first step, far from his goal of pulling stars to join the project, he needs to prove his ability, so there is "Angel Dance".

"It was Thanksgiving, and we met at Disneyland. A smiling little blonde girl with a white puppy in her arms introduced and typed out "Dance of Angels starring, Anna Sophia Rob, and her puppy Bella."

"I was lost, I thought he was a staff member, he was selling a lot of balloons, and it turned out that he was just helping a staff member who went to the bathroom," she laughed. ”

The acquaintance process between Ye Wei and Anna Sophia was exposed, and Ye Wei's zero-cost "Dance of Angels" was exposed for the first time. Assistant director Darum Jenkins came out on camera and laughed: "He taught us a lesson, we were just thinking about keeping our promises, but we didn't expect things to turn out like that." ”

A clip of "Dance of Angels" appeared on the screen, and the narrator said: "Ye Wei led this team of USC students to complete the production of this miracle short film. He needed to find someone who appreciated him, but almost everyone rejected him, and he suffered one setback after another. The turnaround came from one man, Tom Hanks. ”

"He sent DVDs everywhere at the time, and one of them came to me. ”

Tom Hanks is on the scene! This made the audience feel the urge to applaud and cheer. Hanks smiled, "The sophistication of this short film made it impossible for me to ignore its maker, and I contacted Wei, whose age and talent amazed me, and I couldn't help but give him a chance." ”

Documentaries that are restricted by many revelations are simply put, and those inside stories may not be made public for many years, and may never be made public.

"There are no old men. Rameau smiled disappointedly, "I thought I'd see his bald head." ”

Lily remembered that night, but suddenly came outside her house, hugged her like crazy, shouted and jumped, and told her the good news first......

"Lily, Lily, Lily, Lily", his excited cries were still ringing in his ears. If she appeared on the scene, she would definitely laugh now and say, "He's crazy, I'm blind, we don't know what to do except shout together, it's incredible." ”

These are enough for the audience to be fascinated, and Ye Wei's magical stories, under the narration of Nanette Postern, restore those charming. Sometimes moved, sometimes passionate, sometimes miraculous.

"Dance of Angels" attracted the attention and appreciation of Hanks and Spielberg, and Hanks decided to give Ye Wei a chance.

Preton set up a project for "Little Sunshine Beauty" to meet Ye Wei's requirements to be the producer and director, but whether it was aborted or filmed in the end depended largely on Ye Wei's performance - taking the $200,000 invested by Pretong to remake "The Wedding is Coming". Once you mess up, of course, the LMS won't be able to shoot.

However, Pretong's expectations are not later results, just thinking that the quality is enough to make DVDs.

From romantic comedies to spoof comedies, Viy wrote and rewrote the script himself, using only about 15% of the footage of Kevin Thomas's version, except for a little clip of "My Grand Greek Wedding", the rest of the images were directed and shot by him, and he even starred in "The God of Weddings", which was his screen debut.

"Now, they really got their damn cake!"

The clip of "The Wedding is Coming" was broadcast on the TV screen, and the wedding god made a big fuss about the wedding scene, kicked the huge wedding cake away, and walked to the microphone to sell cool words.

"Hahaha!" Seeing this scene, the fans burst into laughter, those jokes, the joy of success!

Yunik is also laughing, the first time she saw this movie, seeing his screen performance, she decided to go to bed after making up for "The Wedding is Coming", she had already bought a set of DVDs, and she never opened the package.

With the pure music sound of "How-Deep-is-Your-Love", the results of "The Wedding is Coming" were introduced on the screen, and this movie, which was not expected to have any box office expectations, staged a shocking explosion, from 1 theater to 1089 theaters for test screenings, and collected 38.56 million North American box office!

In fact, it was last summer, when the 16-year-old Ye Wei exploded like a supernova and suddenly turned out!

At this time, the screen appeared on the screen with the image of Ye Wei as a guest on "The Daily Show", he sat at the hosting table, chatting and laughing with Jon Stewart.

"How old are you?"

"16 years old, sexy teen. ”

The audience burst into laughter and chanting. And at this time, even if the audience has seen it before, they still can't help laughing. Ye Wei is like born for a talk show, both fan and humorous, humorous and confident, confident and humble:

"Actually, we all have our own talents, and sometimes, if you bring out your talents, you will be called a genius by others. I think the key is that you have the courage to show yourself. ”

At that time, Ye Wei was a touch of morning sunshine, shining on everyone, and all of them were so warm.

But as long as people who are familiar with Ye Wei know, what followed was a dark day......

Lily's smile faded away, she wanted to turn the table, she wanted to stop at the beginning of summer, the happiest day of her life so far. Looking at the news pictures on the screen of Ye Wei fighting and being taken to the police car, she had no ideas, and many, many memories and emotions came up and occupied her heart.

The narrator said: "The success of "The Wedding is Coming" made Ye Wei known to the whole United States, and the praise of the movie prodigy began to accompany him, and "Little Sunshine Beauty" determined the system, and he went on track. But soon after, Ye Wei had a series of scandals, underage drinking, fighting, he publicly stated that he had done nothing wrong and would never apologize, it seemed that the bastard boy had come back and had gone bad. ”

"That's when he broke up with Lily Collins......" Nina looked a little sulky, "That's when ......"

Many fans are just excited, "That statement is so cool!", "I love viy!", "I have an apology in my mind, I will never apologize for this!"

The documentary was trying to figure out what was going on, interviewing several people, and Ye Wei's agent, Brian Sberlaier, said sternly: "No one knows what went wrong with Wei, I only know that the sudden huge attention from the outside world made him unable to adapt well." ”

There was no mention of Lily, not even a word like "emotional frustration", he fought it all alone, preferring to make the audience think that it was just him who was temporarily lost in fame and fortune.

"What a good boy, I should have ......been more decisive in the first place," Emma muttered a little as she looked at it.

It's still a mystery what Viy went through during that time, but the audience knows that Viy didn't really fall!

This bad boy just brought a bigger surprise! "Little Sunshine Beauty" is confirmed, and he is on track. But soon after, Ye Wei had a series of scandals, underage drinking, fighting, he publicly stated that he had done nothing wrong and would never apologize, it seemed that the bastard boy had come back and had gone bad. ”

"That's when he broke up with Lily Collins......" Nina looked a little sulky, "That's when ......"

Many fans are just excited, "That statement is so cool!", "I love viy!", "I have an apology in my mind, I will never apologize for this!"
