On the night of May 28, Phil Collins' singing set the Staples Center on fire, and many classic tracks, including "'11-B-T-m-eat", detonated the City of Angels concert with great success.

Ye Wei continued to survive in the wilderness in the Yuegui River Reserve, fishing, digging wild vegetables, and gnawing wild grass, until the afternoon of the 2nd, when it was time to go back, the box of compressed cakes was not even opened in the wrapper, and the five days of joy were a.

As he did at the end of every field camp, he carved a "VI" on the body of a large tree in the camp, carried his things and left, leaving behind a large pile of firewood ashes.

When he returned to Dubov's house in Scarborough in the evening, Ye Wei met Nina, who was playing football on the lawn in the front yard.

Seeing his dusty appearance, as if he hadn't taken a bath for several days, with a burst of boy sweat, Nina pinched her nose and said suspiciously and funny: "Someone has been abused by relatives." ”

"I? no. Ye Wei walked up to her, his mood was already very different, "I have a gift for you, and I made it myself." ”

"Don't talk to me, Yunik Hawking. Nina turned around and strode away, saying that she would resist him.

Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders and grimaced, saw the football rolling down at his feet, kicked it towards her, and used the foot strength and footwork of the best scorer, hitting her in the back with a bang. Nina over there shrank her shoulders and hugged her head in disbelief, reacted, and looked back stupidly, "Do you want to die?"

"Well, isn't that the Bulgarian way of saying goodbye?"

"It's not"

Nina turned around and walked away angrily, not seeing Ye Wei's evil smile.

On Monday, Monday, March 3rd, many schools across North America began the new school year, and students who were nostalgic for the summer returned to school life.

This was the first day that Ye Wei and Nina went to school in Wexford, one in the tenth grade and the other in the ninth grade, both of which were driven by Mihaela, and Nina was very unhappy to share the car with Gu You, and asked to get off the bus one block in front of the school and walk over by herself to show her disdain for him.

This situation will probably be solved until Ye Wei drives his own car.

More than 11oo students gathered on the school's track and field field, Principal Tom and Salo gave a speech, and student representatives gave speeches to welcome the new students and look forward to the new school year.

The excitement and anticipation of the new students are written on their faces, and the high school is full of youth

Ye Wei is also very happy, for him, the tenth grade is the beginning of high school, and the good news is that no one has recognized him yet, at most he looks at him suspiciously, there are more whites and South Asians in the school, Asians, blacks and other ethnicities are average, and Asian families still like academic high schools.

"From now on, I'm not just a wolverine, I'm also a Viking, and I'm rewarded for my merits"

"Meritorious and rewarded, aImaQutaut1erat)" is Wexford's school motto丨 is also the school motto of USC, so he likes it very much.

Los Angeles, Harvard-Westlake junior high school and high school are also ushering in the first day of school, and the Saperstein Theater of junior high school is holding a school opening assembly.

On the stage, the principal of the junior high school, Jenny Hebricht, said the opening speech, and there was a lively undercurrent surging in the silence under the stage.

The seventh-graders are so new to the qiē that many of them have already heard of the VIyR spoon legend, such as last year in this theater, he made Principal Hednut lose face, and it was exciting to think about it. Joining a club is another exciting topic, and the Dream League is undoubtedly one of the most popular, but now you have to go through a lot of tests to get in.

As one of the examiners, Babu, who is already in the eighth grade, has his head up, or how can he be admired by the freshmen?

The Dream Chaser Alliance was also established in the high school, such a happy event, Lev and Bard pondered how to achieve the celebration of firecrackers, but at the same time, in this wide and quaint campus, a female voice screamed: "It's really hell, that slut"

"Master Gia, don't you think there's a lot of time to play? "yes, yes"

Listening to Lev's words, Gia almost fainted, but she couldn't refute that the high school is in school five days a week, and each academic class is only four times a week, which means that there are more x times than the middle school, allowing students to do more community service, and the more academically they design and develop their areas of interest.

Not only do you have a good T score, but you also have to have a beautiful resume when applying to university, which is more difficult and fun than just reading for exams, isn't it?

"Then you have to complete the academic requirements first, with an average score of 21oo... "A slut" Jiya's screams continued, "I'm going to art school too"

Compared with Harvard-Westlake, one of the perennial T2 high schools in the United States, Ye Wei personally felt that it was too cool to go to school in Wexford

Academic classes can only stand aside in the curriculum, and the main characters are acting theory, body movement, voice, drama theory, drama rehearsal, etc. And the style of study is so different, relaxed, artistic, not showing off wealth, in Harvard-Westlake, everyone seems to be in a hurry, and here, there are students sitting against the wall in the corridors everywhere, doing their own thing.

There will be no reprimands from the instructors, and no one will feel bad, things related to art can be seen everywhere, and the sound of acting and music wafts in the air.

There is also Chinese food in the cafeteria, which does not require much talk and school theory, although the craftsmanship is average. Ye Wei's favorite is the gym, which is one of the few facilities that is superior to Harvard-Westlake, because acting students need to shape and exercise their bodies, which is a course.

During the lunch break, Ye Wei had just left the cafeteria and came to the corridor outside, where the students were coming and going, which was something he didn't like, it was too crowded.

At this time, he met acquaintances, Nina and the three girls came talking and laughing together, he didn't know if it was her new friend or old classmate, and it was easy to meet some new friends with her temperament. In the crowd, Ye Wei raised his hand to say hello, "Hey, Ni......"

Nina also saw him, and immediately looked away, hurried past with her friends, ignoring him, really as if she didn't know him at all

“ok。 Ye Wei smiled helplessly and walked forward.

A white boy with a flat head approached him, "That girl is so spicy, and hot girls are always so arrogant." I'm Damien Rush, 11th grade, Visual and Media Arts. Ye Wei reached out and bumped fists with him, "Yunik-Gu, tenth grade, performing arts." ”

"First of all, I'm gay. Demian's tone was serious, not afraid of being heard by the people around him.

"Oh. Ye Wei was stunned, sexual orientation is not a joke, such a blatant high school student, he has seen it for the first time, maybe it is common in art school? After all, there are many, many homosexuals engaged in the art industry. He is not homophobic and nods: "It's okay, I'm an enlightened person who supports the legalization of gay marriage." ”

"Is it possible for us, then?" said Damien, staring expectantly.

"No, I only like girls. Ye Wei said seriously. Damian suddenly looked disappointed, and Ye Wei said again: "We can be friends." Damien hurriedly said, "I do"

In Los Angeles, the Shooter Girls' School is also open.

Emma Roberts was in the eighth grade, and at this time she was in the classroom of English class, and the girls around her were chattering, she took out the book "Outlaws" and flipped it up, remembering that day, she couldn't help but hold her cheeks with her hands, and exhaled, how is that villain in Toronto?

North American box office for a week

B month 2 month 2 month 2, 2o4 year

------Movie---Name---Number of Weeks--Number of Theaters/Change---Average-----Box Office of the Week――-Total Box Office

"Hero" -- 1st place -- 1st week -- 2-1 house―――――1I6o---B226B-2,226-

"Napoleon the Great" -- 14th place - 2nd week----- 7o6 (2o-4476---fd, 1561--*345668

"The Wedding Date is Coming" -- 2nd place -- 14th week -- 17 families (18) -- I174 -- 2, 15B -- B24776

There are also bright spots in the film market during the first week of school, "Hero", which was released in China nearly two years late, won the weekly championship, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won another victory for Chinese films.

"Napoleon the Great" continues to be a miracle, this comedy with a production fee of only 4o thousand has become a phenomenon, popular with young people, and overshadows many blockbusters.

also obscured a lot of the light of "The Wedding is Coming", in the media, the Hess are heroic geniuses, and Ye Wei is a depraved bad genius. However, the box office of "The Wedding Date is Coming" did a good job, taking advantage of the rising momentum of Ye Wei's popularity, it is only less than two million away from the goal of 40 million box office, which is not an unrealizable dream

The time has also entered September, and NP Company announced the Q score statistics for the third phase of 2O4, which is the latest situation for the past four months.

After a summer, many new celebrities entered the scope of the survey, including Ye Wei, of course, with a positive Q score of 2 points

This score made Brian and Leslie cheer, Ye Wei compared to their other client, Tom Hanks, who ranked first with 57 points, is nothing, people like Kim Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise who have more than 6 points can be called superstars, and 2 points are not enough for first-line TV stars, but it is really a surprise

The original minimum idea was 1o points in one year, 2 points in three years, and the most optimistic idea was to wait for the success of "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" to be possible for 2 points, and the result was less than half a year after its debut, it was already 2 points, which is definitely one of the fastest soars.

When Brian happily informed Ye Wei, he got a lazy oh from the other party, "It's only 2 points, no wonder no one here has recognized me yet." ”

Of course, 2 points will not walk down the street and everyone will know you, but you will be mistaken for "you are the one, the one...... "If it weren't for the fact that Ye Wei was much younger and more handsome than John Zhao, there would definitely be this situation."

"When will I get 3 points and look like a hot soap opera star, be happy Brian. ”

"But, I'm convinced of you, you're just a newcomer, and how many Disney kids don't have this score"

One more point...... Ye Wei's negative Q score was also far beyond expectations: 15 points.

It's a very dangerous, starting to stink score, and it's not primarily because of "I don't know about him", but because of "he's an inferior guy", and I hate him maybe because of his recent scandals and scandals, maybe for something else.

The total score of positive and negative scores, in fact, there are a lot of people who know yR spoons, and popular soap opera stars do not necessarily have this total score, unless they are a member of "**City".

Ye Wei was also dissatisfied with the negative Q score: "It's only 15 points, I thought there would be a 2 point anyway." ”

Brian was dumbfounded, it was the first time I heard that some customers wanted their negative Q scores to be high, how many brokerage teams and public relations teams were fired because a client's negative Q score was too high, even those reality TV stars who specialize in grandstanding and attracting people's attention, they only want their positive Q scores to be high.

"You don't deliberately do anything stupid to increase the negative Q score" Brian had to be reminded, thinking about that public statement, it was really scary.

"No time, no interest. ”

Brian thought that VIy would go to Canada, both good and bad.

The bad thing is that he left the spotlight and his exposure continued to decline, since he went to Toronto, his street photos in the media are gone, and there is no news of him participating in the event, if it weren't for the weekly article in the "VIy Said" column, in the eyes of the public, Ye Wei would have disappeared.

It's fatal for a new star, and before people remember you much, you don't move.

He is now really sorry that Ye Wei and Lily Collins finished playing, originally Ye Wei attended Phil Collins's Los Angeles concert a few days ago, it would be exposed again, and the relationship would be announced naturally, but now there is nothing.

The good thing is that Toronto is a quiet place away from all temptations, and for a 6-year-old who suddenly became famous, "Little Beauty of Nikko" is the most important part of the plan. You must know that VIy is not only famous now, but also has money, driving a pie, racing a sports car, smoking marijuana or something.

Money can ⊥ people happy, and money can also ⊥ ruin people.

What can be done, it depends on Ye Wei's own, this bad boy who some people love and some hate.

Three months after its release, the North American box office of "The Wedding is Coming" is close to the dust has settled, and the settlement of accounts has been continued in 6 years.

It's not uncommon for an independent film to be run by a well-known or unknown company and make a lot of money, and everyone is jubilant and then turned against each other.

The reason may be that the merchant has misrepresented the box office, or it may be that the dealer has not complied with the agreement and is in arrears...... A wide variety of questions. A fresh example is the hugely controversial film "The Passion of the Christ," where producer Mel Gibson has just taken Newmarket, a trader, to court, and Newmarket's actual share of the bill is inconsistent with the agreed rate.

Fortunately, this kind of thing has never been born on Ipepreton, they are neither the big six studios that can deceive people, nor are they small studios that no one cared about before and will care about in the future, they have a lot of scruples, like Hanks's reputation, why do they do this kind of thing that does not outweigh the losses?

"The Wedding Is Coming" currently grosses $320,000 and is split between three parties: the exhibitor, the dealer and the producer.

It was already set at the contract stage, and Mr. Salton was paid a lawyer's fee.

To figure out the box office split, we must first understand the first step, how to divide the relationship between exhibitors and merchants.

In terminology, the fee paid by a movie theater to a dealer for the release of a film is called the "rent" of the film, and the reason why this term is used is because there is a time limit for the movie theater to use the copyright of the film, and the proportion of rent to box office revenue at different times can be different, and the settlement time is also different, depending on the agreement.

Normally, mainstream merchants get 6 royalties, and exhibitors get the remaining 47

Independent dealers do not have the strength of mainstream dealers, and generally only get 4o6, which is even lower if they are in art theaters, only 34o%, because independent film dealers' art films often do not do much publicity, and the director theater itself has to bear a lot of publicity costs.

Therefore, making literary films is thankless, everything is difficult, and you can't make money, but some films always have to be made.

There are two main types of sharing protocols that are used to calculate this percentage: the standard protocol and the aggregate protocol.

There are several different standard agreements, the most mainstream is 3/1oIaa17o plan a has a "housing rental fee (operating costs of the theater and venue fees)", the first 24 weeks 3/1o (merchants/exhibitors) to split the account, and then the weekly decreasing 6o6o4o6o... ̈ There is no rent fee for the plan, 7o-o for the first 24 weeks to about 6o in the end

This kind of agreement is very complicated, the two sides in order to maximize profits, there is a lot of wrestling, the opening of the large-scale release of the film in the first few weeks of the box office is the big head, the merchant likes 3 to the end of the back, the merchant is already less, if you have to pay the rent, it is basically a waste of work, at any time also lose labor costs.

This led to the emergence of a completely different and simpler way of splitting accounts: the total agreement.

All box office revenues are distributed according to a percentage initially agreed upon, and there is no zài house rent, which is divided from the first week to the last week, and the popular one is 55

Whether to use the standard or the total, it also depends on the situation of the film itself, of course, a blockbuster like "Spider-Man 2" uses 3/1o, and its North American box office in the first two weeks (including the first two days of the weekend) is. 7.7 billion, now the 9th week. 600 million, in total, the projectors will laugh crazy.

But for independent films with a very long release cycle, the exact opposite, such as "My Grand Greek Wedding" has a 61-week release cycle, if you use the traditional 9O1O, after the 1O week, it is equivalent to giving the film to the exhibitor; It's like "Napoleon the Great" again, and it doesn't start until the second week.

It's like "The Wedding is Coming", it only has 1 theater in the first week, what is the use of 3/1o?

Therefore, the IPE cinema line signed a total agreement, 649, which is already an Ipnet broadcast network.

Calculated at 649, $320,000 at the box office, 1944. 20,000 rents to the merchants, 186. 60,000 belong to exhibitors.

This rent is divided between the dealer and the producer, and how to divide it depends on the ownership of the copyright of the film, whether the dealer buys it out, or does it share?

"The Wedding Date is Approaching" is not a buyout, but a partnership, and the ratio originally formulated by the two parties is to deduct the total cost of the bank (1, publicity fee; Second, the cost of the bank, including copy fees, transportation, printing, attorney's fees, etc., is generally the total rent), and then 366 points (the business dealer), which is a fair percentage that both parties are satisfied with.

The cost of the line can be a lot of tricks, but Pretong and IP have been working for some years, even if the IPC wants to take advantage of it, it will not be too much.

The total publicity fee before and after is 15o, the cost of the line is 660,000, after deducting this -150,000, the total rent becomes about 630,000, the IPC takes 57o60,000, and the other 1o59. 60,000 yuan will be handed over to the producer, and according to the agreement, the IP will also compensate Pretong for 60,000 publicity fees, so Pretong will get it for about 11o90,000.

Next, there is the internal division of the producers, which involves the proportion of shares, and it depends on whether there is any sponsorship investment.

In the case of "The Wedding is Coming", there are only two companies that want to divide the money, only Image and Pretong, although the production fee of 2o yuan, Pretong only contributed 1o yuan, but its efforts on the remake, such as forming a crew, providing footage of "My Grand Greek Wedding", contact line, etc., make it reason to take more shares.

The original agreement was 7O-O (Wei Duo Image/Pretong), if Gonzman and Hanks knew that "The Wedding is Coming" could be sold so well, would they ask for an increase in their own dividend ratio?

There is no such thing as ifs, after paying about 80,000 yuan for the crew's postponement salary and bonuses, 1o30,000 miles of Pretong received 390,000 yuan, and only Duoduo Image received 210,000 yuan

210,000 is just the result of a simple calculation, don't forget to pay taxes Lawyer Salton said a lot of various taxes, Ye Wei was impatient to hear it, and said to him, "If you can avoid taxes, you can avoid taxes, yes, I am a bastard who avoids taxes, and I am also a good person who does not support the Bush administration." ”

What concessions, tax avoidance, Salton lawyer calculations about 152 but the image from the box office cake to get nearly 6o dollars

Is it a lot compared to the production fee of 20,000 yuan and the box office of 320,000 yuan? This is one of the reasons why it is becoming more and more difficult for producers to make money in the box office part and more and more series of films.

Of course, every movie has post-merchandise, and the problem is that if it fails at the box office, can it succeed in post-peripherals? Usually, the winner takes all and the loser has nothing.

"The Wedding Date is Coming" belongs to the winner, but Duoduo Image will not only earn 6o net profits, video disc rental and sales, TV broadcast copyright fees, overseas trips, etc., in the future, there will be checks flying over 6 times, and if it is good, it can bring tens of millions of net profits.

The money is not all immediately credited to the company account of Weiduo Image, and it takes time to settle, but this is the number.

Finally, there is the company's internal account, the Ye family accounts for /% of the shares, and other investors account for 2, and the Schwartz boss is now smiling so much that he can't see his eyes, and he has made a lot of money

The Ye family can take about 47o from 6o thousand, and when the 15o debt is settled, theoretically there will be 3o million, this sum of money is the approximate net profit of the Ye family at the North American box office of "The Wedding is Coming", not a lot, but definitely a lot, more than enough to buy a seaside holiday villa in Malibu.

From huge losses to millions of profits, and the predictable tens of millions, the key person is, of course, Ye Wei.

3o million to him, no one will say bad, except for Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao, how did VIy spend money in the past? They are the people who are most afraid of Ye Wei going to ruin and love him the most, so they naturally strictly supervise the company's account, and as a reward, they allocated 60,000 yuan to him.

But every time a single expenditure of 10,000 yuan is spent, you have to get their consent before you get the money.

So although Ye Wei's wallet is bulging, he is still firmly controlled by his parents, he is only 6 years old, they have the right to do this, and he likes to be controlled by them.

With money, you have the idea of investment, "Little Beauty of Daylight" doesn't need so much, it's stupid to put it in the bank, and the film industry is very risky.

Ye Wei had an idea and persuaded his father to take out a sum of money to make the dentist clinic bigger, and invite a few old dentist friends to come in and partner to build a large clinic. He can introduce customers, there are too many people in the entertainment industry to take care of their teeth, with these celebrities and celebrities patronizing, are you afraid that there will be no other ordinary customers?

Ye Haogen is very interested, this matter is his business, Ye Wei doesn't care.

On her mother's side, she said that family comes first, but Ye Wei felt that she could also make a career, after all, Duoduo went to school, and she had a lot of free time. Now that more and more people are learning Chinese, it should be good to open a Chinese training class or something, Gu Qiao is also interested, this is his mother's business, he doesn't care.

Every qiē is getting better, and the whole family is full of vitality.

"Brother, brother, when are you coming back?" Duoduo asked on the phone, she had already enrolled in Berkeley Hall's nursery class, no one dared to bully her, and she was having a good time.

"How many days are left on your birthday?"

"48 days"

Wexford Art School, this afternoon, Ye Wei met Nina and her group again in the corridor outside the art center.

The two haven't spoken for a few days, and every time they meet at school since the beginning of school, Ye Wei will greet him with a smile, and Nina completely treats him as air, and at the dinner table at home, in front of Konstantin and Mihaela, well, well, hehe.

This time it was like this again, Ye Wei smiled at her and nodded, Nina and the two girl friends walked directly, he was used to it, and he didn't care.

The two girls glanced at him a few more times, and when he walked away, one of the golden white girls asked in exclamation, "Nina, do you know him?"

"Hmm......" Nina replied for a moment, "I don't know him, he's an international boarder at my neighbor's house, what's wrong?"

"The day before yesterday, I saw him pick a few sticks of grass outside the grass and put them in his mouth to eat, I saw him chew for a while and swallow it" The golden girl's face was full of weirdness, and another black South Asian girl suddenly exclaimed: "Really, it's terrible, Nina, you can't make friends with this kind of person, otherwise we will all be embarrassed......"

Just because art school doesn't respect cool kids, and it's not okay to be friends with freaks.

The corners of Nina's mouth twitched, "He eats grass?" "He's a cow?"

"It's definitely him, or the suit he wears, he eats one after another, and I'm stunned. ”

"He's not going to be a snack on weeds, is he?"

They stopped talking, and the situation was clear, there were few poor freaks who changed their clothes and used weeds as snacks.

"Who knows. Nina forced a smile and felt a strange feeling in her heart......
