"I can't express my anger when I heard about this, but recently a number of young girls have been defrauded by scammers claiming to be my casting director, and the amount of money defrauded ranges from thousands to 10,000. A friend told me that it can't be helped, these scams have always existed, but the scammers have been using my name recently.

I'm no stranger to con artists, and my family was once in a huge crisis because of the deception of a con producer.

Swindlers use the most insidious and vicious and shameless thinking to come up with the most inhumane means, and being deceived by them requires both introspection and self-reprimand. It's not our fault, we just don't understand, we just don't think about it from shameless paths, and I never like to think like that.

I understand what it's like to be deceived, and I understand how difficult it can be to put yourself in a position because of the malice of others. At such times, it is easy for people to go towards the darkness and lose what is truly precious, the beauty of human nature. I can't just laugh or sit idly by, I'm going to take care of this damn thing.

I don't want to be a superhero who saves the world, I just want to do something right, and I want to tell you, girls, that this is not the end.

Don't be disappointed in human nature, don't be disappointed in chasing dreams, you may think that this is the reality, no, that's just the beginning!

Let's defeat reality and destroy it once and for all!

I've got some ideas and I'm trying to make them happen, but I need everyone to work together.

The first point is to mobilize the power of the network to find out those lowly crooks and arrest them.

It's not going to be easy, and we're going to see as many people as possible about this and this kind of thing, and to understand that you don't have to pay anything to audition! To do this, I will build a website "lie-go-to-die", www. liegotodie。 com, this website will collect, publish and provide inquiries about such industry scams, and my team will do their best to promote and operate it.

I hope to get everyone's help, not to let more deceived people appear, and to exterminate the living space of scammers as much as possible.

Second, girls, even if you catch the scammers right away, you may not be able to recover your money. But you need money to live and develop, so I want to do my little bit to compensate you privately, and I will compensate you as much as you cheat.

But you can't lie to me! In order to prevent possible scammers and girls from colluding with me, everyone must first prove the truth of the deception. There will be a strict inspection requirement, such as a police report, a bank withdrawal slip, a contract, etc., and a uniform compensation of 500 per person after today will end at the end of the draft.

You also have to prove that you are really an actor or that you want to be an actor. If anyone lies to me, even if it's a beautiful sen, I will complain to SAG and you will enter the ranks of liars, and yes, this will affect your future. Don't do it, be an honest person.

But as long as everything is true, then you will get back the money that was scammed. Because of movies, I have some wealth, and I want to help people who also love movies. So, I'm going to give each of you a gift, the same acting training class, one class, and that's the best gift I can think of for the actors.

There's also a special prize with only one copy!

Thirdly, I will be holding a meeting for you on the 14th.

All I mean is to help, because I know how hard it is to chase a dream, and no one should be hit hard when they first set off.

On this path, you will meet bad people, but you will also meet good people, and I will be one of them.

I believe that there are good people in this world, and good people will be rewarded. In fact, I have met a lot of good people, and my success is inseparable from their help. In this industry, and perhaps any industry, it is better to get a hundred bad people than to get a good person. I wish you all good people.

Girls, don't be shy about being deceived, you have nothing wrong and stand up bravely! Let the tricks of the scammers be exposed to the sun and render them useless, let them be arrested, let them die! Girls, I sincerely invite you to contact me, I want to meet you kind and lovely silly girls, it is a great honor.

It should also be noted that neither the Special Award nor this meet-and-greet will be related to the casting event and will not involve any casting matters. So please rest assured that no one is left behind by this, thank you all and good luck to all!

The recent draft cheating storm broke out because of Ye Wei's long response, and the media and the public were once again alarmed by VIY!

The film prodigy was just nominated for Best Director at the 40th National Film Critics Association Awards on the 7th, the other nominee was Bennett Miller of "Capote" and the winner was David Cronenberg of "A History of Violence." He was also shortlisted for another major award, the 11th Critics' Choice Award for Best Director, with Ang Lee winning one of the six.

On the latest Q score released by ME Company (September to December last year), Ye Wei's positive Q score is as high as 42 points! An increase of 162% from 16 points in the previous period, which can be described as soaring, 42 points is already the score of a first-line movie star, as an Asian teenager director.

Ye Wei's negative Q score is also 19 points, many people hate him and want him to disappear, and this is the case with controversy.

In any case, after several turmoil and nearly two years of appearance, VIY will finally be on the cover of Time Magazine next week on January 16, which is also the day the Golden Globe Awards are held.

This bad boy genius has news again, not only in the entertainment media, but also in the mainstream media reporting on this social incident.

Ye Wei's kindness and generosity have been unanimously praised by the left-leaning mainstream media, with the Los Angeles Times saying that "Ye Wei has a sense of responsibility, maturity and wisdom beyond that of teen idols", the New York Times commenting that "Ye Wei seized the opportunity of charity to redeem himself", and the Wall Street Journal said that "this is Ye Wei's most genius side"......

The people also generally applauded, but not everyone treated it with kindness, and the right-leaning media either didn't mention it, or they were yin and yang weird and led to the dark side: this is Ye Wei's hype, this is public relations, and this is event marketing. It is even directly smeared like some gossip media.

The far-right "Fox News" calculated an account for Ye Wei:

It has only been half a month since the draft was announced, and the number of deceived girls is only 30 at most, even if Ye Wei compensates each of them with 10,000 yuan, it will be 300,000, and the 30 acting training courses are a total of 200,000, and Ye Wei will spend 500,000 at most.

This money is nothing in the world of charity, compared to Bill Gates and Oprah, it is like buying a bottle of Coca-Cola for each girl.

But the effect of this money is very great, the reputation of philanthropy, the subsidence of violent and wounding cases, the improvement of personal charm, can also promote his three new projects, and can also help him hit the Oscar nomination, you must know that actors account for 21% of the more than 5,000 Oscar judges, actors are the largest force in the Oscar judges, and the second-ranked producer accounts for only 8%.

What are these victimized girls?

Ye Wei's move won the impression and favor of the 21% of the judges, which is more useful than any other public relations, and is simply a "good friend of actors". Actors are usually not respected, but they are very eager to be respected, Ye Wei's move is respectful and warm-hearted, actors like this kind of person the most, and most hope that they have met or will meet this kind of person in the future, especially if he is still a big talent.

Usually geniuses treat actors like this: "You are just fools, vulgar things, human flesh props." ”

Actors actually know that when it comes to talent, of course, they can't compare to those talents, so actors often have mixed feelings about talents, admiring and yearning for their talents, but often hating them. James Cameron is an example, and most of the actors he has worked with will have a bad relationship with him, but there is no one who does not praise his talent.

Ang Lee is a counter-example, he studied acting, understands actors, and works very well with every actor he has worked with.

Ye Wei called the actor "a person who loves movies", but this common sentence is a very high praise for actors, because it is usually "Do you know movies?", but the high praise is not pretentious or insensitive, and it is not just talking. This is all like this, while he helped those girls, he also greatly showed favor to the actor group.

"Fox News" commented, "This is a business that only makes money and does not lose money, Ye Wei may have spent 500,000 yuan, but he did a perfect public relations." ”

may have this effect, but "Fox News" said that the reason why Ye Wei did this was all for profit, and it was a well-planned public relations campaign, which made fans and most neutrals angry:

"Why don't you see other people doing this? They haven't even thought about it?", "Fox News, you guys are really disgusting! The same thing, Ye Wei has a problem doing it, and white people have no problem doing it, disgusting. "All I know is that VIY is going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to help a group of innocent girls!Put away your malicious speculation, you are as damned as those liars!"......

"The Hollywood Reporter" is naturally paying attention, and an industry insider said in an interview: "This helped Ye Wei get an Oscar nomination, no one doesn't like him to do this, he really moved many actors who despised him before this time, and they all began to like this kid." He almost made it to the Oscars, and he was too popular. ”

PR or not, things go on.

Amid the anticipation of countless people inside and outside the industry, Thursday, January 12th has arrived, and the day when the nominations for the 58th Directors Guild Awards will be announced!

There was no live television, and early that morning, when the union was revealed, the news spread quickly.

Many people turn on their computers to check the Internet, just like lottery players go to check the winning numbers of the latest Powerball. The general public will not pay attention to the DGA, but there is definitely a large group of girls who are nervously paying attention, and when they see the list of nominees, they all cheer.

All the people who supported Ye Wei also smiled!

Finalist!!

Nominations for the 58th Directors Guild of America Awards:

[Best Director of a Film Film]:

George Clooney, Good Night, Good Luck

Paul Haggis, "Crash"

Ang Lee, "Brokeback Mountain"

Steven Spielberg, "Munich Massacre"

Ye Wei, "Little Sunshine Beauty"

[Best Director of a Film Documentary]:

Keef Davidson, Richard Ladhakani, "The Devil's Silver Mine"

Werner Herzog, Grizzly Man

......

The youngest nominee for Best Director in DGA history was born, only 17 years and 327 days old, and Ye Wei is running unstoppably towards the Oscars.

This is Ye Wei's highest award for Best Director - it's all up to the directors.

Coupled with the previous nominations for the 17th Producers Guild Awards, "Little Sunshine Beauty" was shortlisted for the best film in the film category (five places), and the two producers who signed it were Ye Wei and Gary Gozman. Before the public knew it, VIY was already the youngest nominee for two heavyweight awards, and was already a legend.

The fame of DGA and PGAA is not as high as that of the Golden Globe Awards, but this is really a historic awards season, and Ye Wei has been recognized by peers from the two major unions for his achievements that cannot be ignored. Of course, it is really inseparable from the many big directors and big names who have expressed their support for him before, and has the power of public opinion in the film critic industry and high box office.

It can be said that up to now, Ye Wei's nomination for the Oscar is nine times out of ten.

Ye Weire is setting off a new round of heat wave, entertainment media are reporting the latest situation of the awards season, and overseas media are also following up.

Disney has something else to say about the Snow White and the Seven Warrior Monks project. Among all the big studio projects that invited Ye Wei to direct, only it has not been completed, and with Ye Wei's announcement of the plan of three films a year, it is equivalent to refusing, but Disney has not responded.

Just recently, Disney spokesperson Heidi Trotta told the media: "This is a long-term project, and Ye Wei will not take over it for the time being, so that it will be stalled again." He is always welcome to join us, and until the director is confirmed, he is the default director of this project. ”

In other words, it's stopped, and I'll probably wait for Ye Wei to see what he becomes after three films a year, and Disney will make a decision.

In fact, Disney himself was saying that Ye Wei did not respond at all, and this prodigy was obviously very busy.

Busy with movies, but also busy with the fraud turmoil, on the "VIY filmed" channel on YouTube, Ye Wei posted a new video, sitting at the computer desk in the study to talk about it: "Hey, everyone. Recently, a number of girls have been scammed, and the scammers are ...... in the name of my casting director"

He's really doing his best to spread the word about it, expanding its reach, and letting as many girls as possible know.

......

In the midst of dozens of young girls' joyful anticipation and nervousness, Saturday, January 14th has arrived!

The meeting was held at a sea-view manor in Malibu, which was the property of Tom Hanks's family, which he lived in on vacation and lent it to Ye Wei for free for one day today. But the meeting is not a party format, the meeting is gathered at 10:00 in the morning and dissolved at 17:00 in the afternoon, lunch is held at the manor, just wear everyday clothes, and you don't need to bring anything.

For the girls, since Ye Wei updated his blog on the 10th, everything has been like a dream.

"Mody, what's VIY's favorite color?"

Seeing that the time was about the same that morning, Stella drove Mody to Malibu, and Safi was following along.

The car is the only thing that Stella and Ye Wei have in common, both driving an old second-hand hatchback. The gossip media has always paid attention to VIY's car, there is a saying "you are in Los Angeles, what car you drive represents what kind of person you are", a bad boy who is young and rich should drive a luxury car, a sports car, and a luxury sports car.

Ye Wei opened it, no one would say that he was extravagant, that was normal. Unexpectedly, he became famous until now, and he still drove that obviously dilapidated hatchback Volkswagen, leaving the media speechless.

"Red and blue. ”

"Well, what's VIY's favorite movie?"

"Star Wars. ”

"Well, what's the name of the main character of Star Wars?"

"Luke Skywalker. ”

The car was resounding with the sound of a conversation reviewing Ye Wei's information, this was Stella's idea, because Mody may chat with VIY, I don't know how the other party can have a good chat? There are still dozens of girls there, if you want to be in the limelight, you have to do your homework, they have been preparing for a few days, Modi's performance is no problem, but talking is a big problem.

At this time, Mo Di, who was sitting in the back row, answered fluently, and Safi next to her looked at her with envy on her face, Safi only had this expression in the past few days.

Mody is very beautiful today, wearing light makeup, wearing the best clothes that the two of them lent her, light brown boots, a small pink handbag, a slightly knee-length printed white short-sleeved dress, and her own powder blue coat, the old is old, but it just highlights Chu Chu's pitiful temperament, and the slightly curly long hair is naturally draped, showing a bit of elegance.

This look is not only for Mody herself, but also for Ye Wei's preferences, Stella and the two did a lot of research, just like the person who is going to attend is herself, and finally synthesized the styles of Nina Dubov, Lily Collins and Emma Roberts, and dressed Mody like this.

The sooner she arrives at her destination, the more envious and jealous Safi becomes, like the story of Cinderella, it's a pumpkin cart, she and Stella are rats, alas, poor rats!

Stella was also envious and jealous, but she felt that this was her mission a long time ago, as if VIY had given her a tip of 800 yuan, all in order for her to take Mody well, and send the girl to him for him to see. She suppressed the complicated taste, and while driving, she asked, "What is the name of VIY's pet?"

"Toto, a Kane Terrier. Modi replied, suddenly hearing Safi whine, who had understood their complexity for the past few days, but did not know what to say. She was grateful for their help, but the meeting stipulated that she could only go alone......

She sneered, "Stella, Safi, why don't I bring your resumes with you?"

didn't say if you wanted or if you could bring a resume, Ye Wei only said that there would be no casting affairs, and Stella said to bring a resume just in case.

"Who do you think you are? Do you recommend others?" Just as Safi was about to applaud, Stella loudly vetoed: "You are Ye Wei, what do you think? Don't harm us! You just take care of yourself!" Safi sighed and looked out the window, beautiful streets, luxurious residences, and the sea was next to her, and she was about to cry: "It's really unfair......"

"Laugh!" Stella hurriedly stopped, "Don't disturb Mody's mood, laugh! Only a good mood can smile well, and only a good smile can be noticed!"

Safi sobbed, Mody frowned and pursed her lips, reaching for her shoulder, and Safi cried even louder.

"I knew I wouldn't have let you follow...... "Stella muttered curse, making her want to cry too.

The car arrived at its destination in a low atmosphere, and under the sunshine of Hexi, there were many cars parked on the wide road, and the face of the mansion could not be seen in the eye, full of flowers and trees, separated by the iron fence and the fence, and there were female assistants standing by the iron fence door, smiling at the guests and girls.

Two other groups of people arrived at about the same time as Mody, and the two young girls were walking towards the manor, both with cheerful and expectant smiles on their faces.

"Go ahead. The car was parked on the side of the road, and Stella said to Mody, "We'll pick you up again in the afternoon." Safi didn't say anything, leaning back in his chair weakly.

"I'll do my best. Mody looked at the two gratefully, unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car, and looked at the two again.

"Go!", "Mody, you can do it......"

Although the rehearsal had been rehearsed for several days, at this moment, Mody's mind was blank, and she walked towards the open iron fence gate. She had already contacted and verified the identity of the victim before, and although she did not report the crime at the time, she kept the contract of intent and the bank withdrawal certificate.

The female assistant looked at the ID card she showed and let her in, and said with a smile: "Welcome! Go in and go straight along the road, VIY is meeting each girl, please." ”

Mody looked back and saw Stella and the two waving before entering the gate of the manor.

Walking straight along the road planted with lush vegetation on both sides, and just turned at the end, I saw that there were many people in the wide garden, and when I saw that there were more than twenty girls, Modi's eyes suddenly froze, Ye Wei, he was there! A dozen steps ahead, there were several people next to him, and Gia Coppola was among them.

There he was, and the two girls who had just come in first were excitedly surrounding him, laughing and talking about something, and he was talking about something.

Modi felt that she couldn't hear a sound, only a buzzing thump, the sound of a heartbeat, a messy thought......

She walked over, but her steps slowed down, and suddenly she couldn't speak. The scenes of these short days in Los Angeles are full of sorrows and joys, and it is unbelievable that I really saw VIY......

The two girls were led away by an assistant, Ye Wei and Gia Coppola looked this way, and he smiled and shouted, "Welcome to Uncle Tom's ......" His eyes widened slightly, as if he was surprised, "...... Mody!?" Gia Coppola looked at him suspiciously.

Mo Di was stunned, as soon as he heard his name being called out by him, his face instantly turned red, had he read everyone's information in advance?

Mody is very beautiful today, wearing light makeup, wearing the best clothes that the two of them lent her, light brown boots, a small pink handbag, a slightly knee-length printed white short-sleeved dress, and her own powder blue coat, the old is old, but it just highlights Chu Chu's pitiful temperament, and the slightly curly long hair is naturally draped, showing a bit of elegance.
