It's no secret that Ye Wei is competing for the right to adapt "Lovely Bones", but on the first weekend of December, a gossip website suddenly broke a shocking news:

A few days ago at Alice Siebold's house, Ye Wei and Peter Jackson fought!

This is not a baseless fabrication of news by a gossip tabloid like the National Inquirer, as evidenced by a series of photographs!

On this newly opened website called TMZ (Thirty-Mile-Zone), you can see all of them, these photos were obviously taken secretly behind Sieberd's house, they talked at the round table in the garden, and then became more and more excited, Peter Jackson got up and rushed, Ye Wei also got up and rushed, both of them were furious, and they were pulled by others.

It was reportedly Jackson who made the first move, and the two were pulled apart before they could get together.

Then there was another series of photos, Ye Wei was standing there tearing the paper, not knowing what he was doing.

TMZ's guess was to "tear up the book", the conversation collapsed, and Ye Wei was annoyed and angry and tore up a TLB?

This speculation was quoted by the media, outraging TLB fans and mocking them. Neutral people can't stand it, VIY is too undeserved, tearing up books is immoral and naïve, and deserves to be beaten! Jackson, who did it first, is like a hero who teaches arrogant little children a lesson.

Fans were shocked! A genius, a Peter the Great, was fighting there.

LMS is the phenomenon, "King Kong" will be released on the 14th, which has become the first hot gossip since the opening of TMZ, and the number of hits has risen.

Hype? Does Jackson need it? No. Does Ye Wei need it? Not now. It's still a scandal, and the awards season is at a critical juncture, and the scandal doesn't do any good.

The incident was quickly met with an official response, almost a joint statement. Ye Wei's spokesman, Leslie Datra, said: "They had a very emotional discussion, and TLB has an unusual story, when they have some arguments, the situation gets out of hand. They've talked about it afterwards, and it's nothing. ”

Peter Jackson's spokesman, Matt-Dravitzki, also confirmed this statement to the media: "They were all too serious, and things got out of hand like that." ”

Leslie denied the idea of tearing up the book: "The paper was all imitation of Susie's handwriting, and he was a little broken at the time, because he thought of Susie's pain." ”

At the same time, Alice Siebold personally addressed the media to clarify the false rumors that Ye Wei tore up the book, she said: "Weige is a very mature young man, and I have never seen anyone his age who has his talent. We talked a lot that day, and he really understood TLB, and the paper he tore was his sincerity, and there were hundreds of pieces of paper, each one full of his love for Susie. ”

She added: "Both Weige and Peter had a genuinely compelling view of the story, and their disagreement only stemmed from how the film should be made. ”

As for the ownership of copyright, Siebold is still considering.

Now the truth is revealed, Ye Wei is not graceless, but manly and emotional. Believe it or not, but anyone with a discerning eye can see her love for Ye Wei from Siebold's words. The situation seems to be different from what the outside world guessed, and in this competition, it is not Peter Jackson who has the upper hand, but ......

Hitfix quoted the report as follows: "Ye Wei leads the battle for TLB adaptation rights?"

......

During the past Thanksgiving holiday, Ye Wei and Nina were as happy as if they were eating honey all the time, and it was all about each other's love.

With the anticipation of traveling around the world next summer, Nina is no longer in a hurry to move to Los Angeles, make a plan and then act!

Ye Wei understands her, Nina is a very competitive person, raised in the arena since she was a child, she is not the kind of girl who doesn't want a career, but she doesn't want much, like "See, I'm not bad". Of course, he is fully supportive, he is not a machismo or a feminist, he just feels that lovers should be in tune with each other while maintaining their independent personality. Career is one of the independent tables.

The two have already negotiated and joined "Carrie the Witch".

"Carrie the Witch" has been seeking a new version over the years, and the reason for this time and the key to success lies in whether the two are willing to join. To elaborate, it is whether Ye Wei is willing to at least be a planner. If he didn't, Lionsgate wouldn't invest, and the project would have stopped.

After the holiday, Ye Wei gave Lionsgate and Stephen King the final decision that he could be the planner, Nina had to play Carrie, and he was not obligated to participate in future promotional activities.

"No problem!" Lionsgate CEO Jon Philheimer agreed without thinking, and he said that to VIY when he was invited. Jon flattered him even more: "Weige, in this project, you have the power to supervise the producer, you can put forward any opinions, and the candidates for screenwriters and directors are all mentioned, we can't ask for it." ”

Ye Wei's status is different now, and TET may have a lot of luck, but LMS shattered a qiē question. A layman who doesn't understand it will be taken lightly, but not Jon, VIY's abilities don't need to be doubted anymore, at least not until one failure, just leave things to VIY and wait to count the money.

Besides, building a good relationship with this genius is Lionsgate's long-term plan. Even if it is a small loss this time, it is earned.

Stephen King's side is also very happy, and a successful new version is finally expected!

It's hopeful, it's not certain, it's just the early stage of development at this stage, and there's not even a script.

Too many problems may arise, and any one of them may lead to the miscarriage of the project. Ye Wei and Nina's joining is only intentional, and it is possible to quit at any time or be kicked out at any time; Lionsgate suddenly felt that the project was not good, the market research was not good, the director and Ye Wei had disagreements in the future, and Ye Wei was no longer valuable if he failed...... Too many possibilities.

From the intention to the contract, there are many matters for specific negotiations, and Ye Wei will hand it over to the agent and lawyer.

How can he manage so much, a group performance contract and a cameo contract are hundreds of pages. Nina's contract is also negotiated by them, in fact, CAA has long wanted to sign Nina, he has been thinking about it, just take advantage of this official signing of an agent, Brian is not bad.

It's really because there is no agent anymore, and some things have to be done by the agent. Of course, he can't really be an agent, and he can't be an agent, because the Talent Brokerage Act stipulates that an agent can't own a film company, not a stake at all. This matter should be separated, not as an agent, or as an employer.

He is the owner of three independent film companies, so he can't go to the license to be an agent, but he can be behind the scenes, like Julia Roberts is also Emma's nominal agent.

Or go and be a manager, and a manager can.

......

Since the release of LMS, Brian has been full of spring breeze every day, with a smile on his face from time to time, and he is one of CAA's most important agents!

"Who would have thought?" he had been saying to his family lately, at home, at work, and at the country club, as well as these words: "Ye Wei is a genius!" and "Weige is the smartest young man I've ever met." ", ""Little Sunshine Beauty" is a miracle!", "Damn, there is another project that wants to find Weige to join. ”......

It's really busy, a lot of projects have contacted him to invite Ye Wei to join, not only the director, but also the actors!

Good news again! Weige is finally willing to sign an agent for his baby Nina Dubov.

Brian used to disdain this Canadian girl, thinking that she was just a star chaser. But things have long been different, "Exorcism Video" has made Nina Dobrev very popular, her appearance, strength, luck, growth space are very good, and with a boyfriend like VIY, this girl will become a first-line star.

He didn't dare to slack off, no agent would snub her.

The reason is very simple, Nina Dubov is happy, Ye Wei is happy, Nina Dubov is unhappy, Ye Wei is not happy.

Only when aces like Ye Wei are happy, can the brokerage work be considered a good job. Artists can leave the contracted agency at any time, and ace clients are trump cards wherever they go.

In Brian's opinion, it is very good for Dubov to become a horror screaming queen first, and it is her blessing to be able to play "Carrie", and she will have a smooth star career as soon as she comes out.

And this is Ye Wei's arrangement, how can he have any opinions, the focus of his work is still on Wei, the low-paid "Carrie" planning is not what he cares about, and the high-profile VIY new project, which is one of the key points of the company's affairs, is.

He knows the inside story, no matter what the reason, there are only two requirements, one, the girl protagonist, and two, DreamWorks participates in the investment.

However, I want to do an independent film project the most, but I am destined to be semi-independent at most.

If Weige had won the rights to the TLB adaptation, things would have worked like this: he would buy any of his studios or a new one, and then use the adaptation rights to set up a project, find investors, and be a distributor in the future. There is no doubt that it will be old friends such as DreamWorks, Pretong, and IFC, and his own company will also invest, and the proportion will be determined when the time comes.

Other projects such as "Soul Surfer" will also be like this, in fact, after Weige announced the SS, some major film companies expressed investment interest.

This is semi-independent, and fully independent means that there is no reference to the big studios in the list of producers. LMS can be considered fully independent, but the new project certainly can't, because DreamWorks is being sold, and rumors are about the same as NBCUniversal.

LMS did very well at the box office, but it wasn't enough to save DreamWorks from its predicament, only to let it shine one last of its dreams before it fell.

Of course, TLB and SS are not Brian's favorites, and each of these two projects has a budget of 50 million at the top, and it should normally be around 30 million. Agents are not allowed to participate in box office dividends and get customer dividends, how many dividends VIY has to do with him, and how much VIY has to pay is closed.

With a budget of 30 million, how much can 10% of the salary be?

The key is that now VIY is fully capable and has the opportunity to shoot commercial blockbuster projects......!

is too good at making money, and the results of "The Wedding is Coming" and "Napoleon the Big Man" belong to the same grade. The former lost North America and won the world, 38.56 million/62.48 million, and the latter won North America and lost the world, 44.54 million/46.11 million. And the Hess couple's new film "Mad Priest" has a budget of 32 million, an increase of 80 times.

Here, after TET and LMS, although he is only 17 years old, now 30 million is just a pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info, and if there is no cap, it depends on whether to fight or not.

Home of Stray Dogs, prepared for mediocre or failed LMS results, is no longer mentioned, it has become unfit in any way. Even if Weige said, "I'm going to shoot this", no one would let him shoot it. VIY, a genius who can line James Cameron as James Franco, either doesn't make commercial films, or makes big productions if he wants to make commercial films.

James Franco, 27, has directed and starred in two films, "Gold Rush" and "The Ape King," both low-budget films that have been released at several film festivals this year. A popular star like him, as long as there is a little bit of quality, there will be publishers willing to try, but the shooting is too bad. So much so that some media quipped: "James, you better go acting." ”

Not everyone is a generalist, and not everyone is a gold mine.

On this day, with a lot of amazing news, another project threw an olive branch to Ye Wei, and Brian couldn't help but hiss, this project ...... That's great!

......

Good news from Alice Sieberd!

Although somehow there was a gossip about fighting and tearing books, it was good for the public relations to deal with it, Ye Wei was happy to get another opportunity to interview Alice, and this time there would be no more Peter Jackson. This means that Alice's scales are really tilting in his favor, and the dawn of success is emerging!

Ye Wei told himself that in order to win this competition, he had to completely impress Alice, dispel her doubts, and strengthen her determination.

On the other hand, he and Roberts had a conversation about Soul Surfer. The success of the LMS has boosted his personal prestige, and Roberts is more willing to believe in him, but she is still waiting for Emma to play Bethany and wait for the outcome of TLB to be decided.

On Sunday morning, Ye Weizheng and Nina and Duoduo, who came to Los Angeles, were shopping in Brentwood's East Business District.

After a short vacation in Toronto, Duoduo became obsessed with skiing, clumsy at the beginning, and soon flew like a good master, thanks to Nina, a good master. It's not enough to go back to Los Angeles, you want to ski every day. Even now when I walk, I look like I'm skiing from time to time, which is funny.

"Whoa-oh-" Nina was still playing with the sound effects, pulling Duoduo to play.

The private number mobile phone vibrated Ye Wei took it out of his trouser pocket and looked at it, and he was suddenly very surprised, Steven Spielberg.

"I'll answer the phone. There must be something wrong with this character calling, he walked away, there was no one on the street, only himself around, watching Nina and Duoduo walk in front, he answered the passage: "Hello, Steven." ”

"Boy, DreamWorks is selling. Spielberg's voice came from his phone as if he were emotional.

Ye Wei was stunned and blurted out: "FUCK......"

"Eleven years. Spielberg sighed with a vicissitudes of life, "The dream of eleven years is over." It will be announced in a few days, Paramount. ”

"Oh?" Ye Wei was stunned again, the previous rumor had always been global, and the result was really unexpected. But is there a difference between Universal and Paramount? He couldn't help but sigh: "Steven, I'm really sorry for you, I'm really sorry for independent films, this is a very, very huge loss." ”

"Nobody is comfortable, think about how I can still make movies, it will be better. Spielberg obviously didn't call to tell his feelings, and said: "You have the right to know about this situation first, your friendship with DreamWorks, the right of priority to cooperate, are all DreamWorks' assets, and Paramount values these." ”

"Frankly, I never want to have anything to do with Hollywood, I just want to be an independent filmmaker. Ye Wei said in a deep voice as he walked.

Spielberg said: "You think what you think, but it's not time yet, my time, yours is not yet." ”

"Perhaps...... What does Paramount have in mind with me?"

"I'd like to talk to you about directing a $100 million project. ”
