When February 18-24 passed, "It's All Daisy's Fault" handed over its first week report card, and received 15.45 million box office in 3,188 theaters, IMDB6. 5 points, Rotten Tomatoes freshness 54%, love 64%, all aspects are just barely qualified.

Critics didn't rate it well because they thought it was bland and standard, and Roger Albert also gave it a bad review, saying that its story "has no real flesh and bones, like a pool of stagnant water", but the media public gave a thumbs up to Anna Sophia Robb's performance, a rising star.

February 27 is a big day in the film industry, the 77th Academy Awards were held, and "Million Dollar Baby" won four awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor, becoming the biggest winner.

Ye Wei has nothing to do with the Oscars, he is not nominated, he is not an award presenter, he does not go to the red carpet, and one of the many parties on the Oscar night did not show up, he is in Toronto. Brian was quite dissatisfied with this, he could have gone to participate in the Vanity Fair faction, exposing and expanding his network, but now it is gone.

Ye Wei is not afraid of socializing, but he doesn't want to be too busy for the time being, because "this will ruin the feeling of directing "Little Sunshine Beauty", Brian couldn't reprimand after hearing it.

Time into March, the days pass in a busy and hard work and sweet and joyful life, and the spring break of each year is coming soon, but this year Ye Wei can't travel like last year, because April 4 is the start day of LMS, he can spend the Easter holiday, but he can't play for more than ten days in a row like an ordinary student.

Recently, he has been asking for more and more leave, and he will not be able to complete part of his studies this school year, which is really a shame for Asian students, many teachers have said that he is a black sheep, Ye Wei is a little convinced now. Today I took another leave of absence, and I had a shooting technology meeting in the morning, and at noon, he was eating lunch alone in the Charlie's Cottage restaurant near the office.

They stayed with Maurer in the morning, and they had to stay in the afternoon, and everyone wanted to have room to breathe for lunch, so they didn't go together.

Charlie's Cottage is a rustic restaurant, with broken walls, simple décor, dim lighting, sporadic customers sitting at simple log tables and chairs, enjoying rustic food, low conversations, and waitress walking around.

Ye Wei sat at the table in the corner, eating delicious omelettes and steaks, he has been patronizing here for lunch in the past few days, the food, service and atmosphere are really good, and it is good to bring Nina to candlelight dinner.

"Excuse me, you're Ye Wei!" A young Asian beauty who had just entered the restaurant was looking for a seat, and suddenly found something, and walked straight up, looking surprised.

She looked to be in her twenties, with straight black hair, a beautiful face, a mature figure, a dark blue bodycon dress in a white sweater jacket, black stockings on her legs, and a women's bag in her hand, exuding an air of seduction. She spoke English with a Toronto accent, and for a moment she couldn't tell what kind of Asian ethnicity she was.

"It's amazing to meet you here, I'm a fan of you, my name is Angelica Lee. ”

It's not the first time I've been recognized by fans, sometimes I don't want to be recognized, but it's not a beauty fan, Ye Wei smiled at her, "Many people say I look like him." ”

"You're so humorous, you're him, right? Angelica's sweet voice was full of excitement: "Our whole family loves you, me, my parents, my two younger sisters and a younger brother, and we all say that you are the pride of Chinese American." Ye Wei said thank you, Angelica looked at the chair opposite him, and asked expectantly, "Can I sit down?"

Ye Wei was in a good mood, the walls of the restaurant were not transparent glass, there would be no photos taken by the paparazzi outside, and there were no paparazzi here, she stood and talked to attract the attention of other customers, and she was a big Chinese fan, so she nodded and said, "Yes, please sit." ”

"Wow. Angelica suddenly sat down happily, and at that moment her round buttocks made her skirt taut and showed a beautiful silhouette, she put her bag on the table, ordered an omelette and a coke from the waitress who came by, and looked at him, her dark eyes were a little intoxicated.

"I'm not your food. Ye Wei laughed and continued to cut the steak to eat, such a beautiful girl, if he was single, he would be happy to tune with her to see if there was any possibility of development, but he had a girlfriend, so Lev They were envious of him, and even Benji said that he was a good girlfriend, and he didn't like to mess with people**.

"You're so funny. Angelica smiled charmingly, clasped her hands together and said, "Thank God for allowing me to meet my idol here." "The Wedding is Coming" really made me laugh, you acted well, the movie I am most looking forward to now is "Little Sunshine Beauty", you are creating a miracle, it's amazing. ”

was praised and praised by her, Ye Wei was naturally very happy, and did not forget to be fluttering, "It's not just me, making movies is a team job." ”

"Team, as cool as it sounds, I've always been interested in how movies are made. Angelica said softly: "Is it possible that I can go to the set of "Little Sunshine Beauty" to have a look? I really want to see you when I was a director. ”

Ye Wei shrugged, "I can't promise you, because the set may be confidential, and I don't know yet." He took a sip of water.

"Oh......" Angelica looked sorry, took out a pen and paper from her handbag, wrote down a string of numbers, and pushed it to him, "This is my number, if you can contact me." Ye Wei said OK, pressed the paper with a water cup first, Angelica's fingers touched his hand intentionally or unintentionally, and said in an ambiguous tone: "You can call me at other times." ”

"Beauty. Ye Wei shrugged again, "I have a girlfriend, I love her." ”

"Oh!" Angelica was a little disappointed when she heard this, at this time the waitress should be holding the plate to serve the food, and after she left, seeing that Ye Wei was not going to say anything more, she said again: "That's okay, I believe that God let us meet today, there must be some meaning." She looked pious, "I'm a Christian, what about you, do you believe in God?"

"I believe it. Ye Wei continued to eat the steak and said: "In front of nature and the universe, human beings are too small, and I believe that there is a God." ”

"And you're a Christian, too?" said Angelica, a little excited.

Ye Wei nibbled on the steak, which was delicious, and thought that he must bring Nina to taste it, and replied casually: "I am a multi-religious believer, except for cults, I respect a peace-loving religion." I think God is God, and we just look for the same answer from different paths. ”

"Jesus said to them, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can come to the Father except through me.'" Angelica read the Bible earnestly, "I believe that believing in Jesus is the right way." Ye Wei pursed her lips noncommittally, and she asked again: "Have you ever watched "The Passion of the Christ"?"

Ye Wei nodded without speaking, smiling in his heart, didn't Jesus teach you to have a degree? Chinese culture can be taught.

Angelica sighed, "It's so cruel, I'm crying almost the whole time when I watch it, Jesus suffered so much for the world! He came to redeem us, but the Jews betrayed him, I always wonder if the world would be better if Jesus had not been in this world for a long time." ”

She opened a pair of pitiful eyes, bit the straw of the Coke glass, and waited for him to say something.

Ye Wei was about to say, "I don't think so, people are always rebelling against God, all races", when the words came to his mouth, suddenly the cold hairs on his body stood up, and he instinctively felt that he was in a mortal danger, as if he was being targeted by a sniper from afar, who is this woman? Why are you talking to me about this?

Christians, The Passion of the Christ, Jews?

How can there be fans, how can there be normal people who talk about these taboo topics such as religion and race when they meet for the first time?

He suddenly remembered how he had dealt with Kevin Thomas, if Angelica was secretly recording or videography, if he was so dazed that he had no opinion on the Jews, and told her "yes, the Jews suck" and "Jews deserve to die", what would happen if it was made public......

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Wei clearly understood that no matter what, he couldn't say anything to her now! It's better to pay the bill and leave, he shouted: "Wait!"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked about this......" Angelica saw his face change, and quickly apologized, "You're my idol, so I said it too carelessly, I'm sorry." ”

Ye Wei still didn't speak, took out a signature pen from his trouser pocket, and wrote on the other side of her number paper, "Who sent you?" and showed it to her, and saw that her expression changed, she seemed a little uneasy, and her acting skills were not so good, now he was sure that she was not a fan, she was a bitch who came to harm him!

Who is behind the scenes? It's really a bad thing, find an Asian to play with intimacy, pretend to be a fan and play ** sexual innuendo, if he thinks he has an affair, if he is the kind of bastard who has a girlfriend or not, and if he has a beautiful woman, he is already in big trouble......

"What do you mean? Nobody sent me. "The bitch was still pretending to be puzzled.

Ye Wei didn't pay attention to her anymore, and after the waiter came over, he paid the bill, gave a tip, got up and left, of course the paper was taken away, and she didn't leave it.

"Is it because I'm an Asian girl?" Angelica hurriedly paid and caught up. Ye Wei couldn't help but laugh, and wanted to provoke his relationship with the Asian community, hahaha!

Walking quickly to the small parking lot next to the restaurant, Ye Wei drove his Land Rover away, and watched the bitch standing on the street outside the restaurant from the rearview mirror getting farther and farther away, then he scolded "**", and drove to the office while thinking about it.

After a while, the car pulled into a large parking lot by the lake, and he took out his phone and called Brian, thinking that the person who should ask now was this dude.

After a few beeps, the other end was connected, Ye Wei looked at the open space outside the car and a few people walking in the distance, and said, "Brian, I should have almost been framed just now." ”

"What's going on!?" Brian was surprised, and when he heard what Ye Wei said, he asked calmly: "What did you say, say it again and again, think about it, don't miss a word." Ye Wei repeated it at the moment, and repeatedly made sure that there were no mistakes or omissions, Brian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, "However, someone is definitely setting up a trap to harm you." ”

It's really not troublesome, trouble is coming.

"Do you know that if you mention the Jews, you're in big trouble, and if you say bad things about God and the Jews, you're done. ”

"Yes, I know......" Ye Wei leaned back in his chair and pouted, Jews have too much power to speak in today's world, and they have a hegemonic status in the United States, Hollywood, and the media industry, if you want to rise, don't offend this group, because in "The Passion of the Christ", Mel Gibson has changed from a superstar with a salary of 20 million to a street rat.

The question is, as far as he is concerned, why should he offend the Jewish people? Whites, blacks, Jews, their historical grievances have nothing to do with him, whether Jesus is the Messiah or not, he doesn't believe in Jesus, even if he wants to quarrel with any ethnic group, it must be Japanese.

Ye Wei has no prejudice, Lily has 1/4 Jewish ancestry, Brian seems to have it, and any normal person will not be happy if he is maliciously offended by his people.

Imagine if someone insults or offends the Chinese, he will also be angry, and he will no longer regard him as a friend, it's as simple as that.

"Someone wants to ruin you, they want to ruin Little Sunshine Beauty. Brian's voice became deeper and deeper, "I think this plan has been in place for a long time, but if you don't send duì or nightclubs, it will be difficult for them to find today's opportunity, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is about to start filming, they can't wait." ”

How to ruin a star with a great future? ruin his image, his connections, his spirit.

During World War II, Shanghai provided political refuge to Jews, saving the lives of tens of thousands of Jewish refugees. Therefore, Chinese people have always had a place in Hollywood, as far as Huang Zongzhan, as close as John Woo, Wang Ying, Ang Lee and others, and then to Lin Yibin, Wen Ziren and other new forces.

On the other hand, it is difficult to see Japanese filmmakers, not only because the population is smaller, but also because neither Jews nor whites want to play with Japanese filmmakers. Japanese cinema is an independent existence of another culture, Akira Kurosawa, Hayao Miyazaki, and animation...... It's you, not us.

How many people know Greg Araki, one of the most famous Japanese-American directors and an important member of the new queer film wave?

Of course, the Chinese are not "us", they are "the guys who build the railway", they have high IQ in Chinese food, kung fu, and study, and they may be handsome, rich, and capable, but they are not attractive.

What is attractiveness, which can make girls of all races, especially white girls, excitedly shout "I want to marry you", "I want to be with you", this is attraction, and this is a pop culture icon that is praised very highly.

It's okay to be a director, it's okay to win an Oscar, but it's a bit incorrect to be an attractive idol.

Just like Michael Jackson before, before him, black people were unattractive, and when he became a global pop culture icon and redefined the label of black boys, he had already offended a large part of the narrow white group, and many white forces controlled the media were unhappy and ruined him!

Call him a weirdo, say he sleeps in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, say he takes drugs, bleachs his skin, says he's gay, says he's a pedophile......

Originally, Michael Jackson had many Jewish friends who supported him, but he was young and ignorant, and wrote many short phrases like "I'm Jewish, do you want to sue me?" in the lyrics of the "Best Michael Jackson" album, which offended many people, including Spielberg, an old friend.

Although Jackson later apologized repeatedly in the media, saying that he did not mean to hurt anyone, and erased the phrases from the tape, and Spielberg later reconciled with the praise of Jackson's "History" album, not every Jew chose to forgive, and Jackson always lost the support of Jewish power.

Even today, the attractiveness of black boys has been gradually recognized by the mainstream, and black and white couples are not unseen on the screen, but Michael Jackson still can't get rid of all kinds of scandals, because Michael Jackson = anecdotal scandal, which is both a deliberate attack and a public demand.

It is foreseeable that his scandal will continue until his death. In this case, Jackson was driven crazy even if he wasn't a weirdo lunatic.

And Ye Wei, compared to Jackson, he is nothing, but there are signs of this redefinition of the label of Asian boys.

As an Asian who is weak in Hollywood, although the share of the Chinese film market is increasing year by year, it is not much, maybe it will be very important in ten years, just now in 2005, Ye Wei's commercial value is in North America, and without the tacit support of the Jewish community, no matter how commercial value will be suppressed.

Without the attention and momentum of the media, it is impossible to produce celebrities, the reason why Ye Wei was able to set off a momentary genius phenomenon, and there are signs of further breaking the ceiling, and getting the favor of so many big people, in addition to talent, has a heavy relationship with his background, Asian but Chinese, Chinese but the descendants of Kuomintang officers.

I have to say that a key person is the one who gave Ye Wei the final word, Spielberg.

Brian knows that many people know that Spielberg has a special feeling for China, his father was a signal soldier on the B-25 bomber in the Burma-India theater of World War II, and he was a person who fought on the same front as the Chinese Expeditionary Force, so he doesn't like it like the mainstream of the West, but he has Chinese feelings.

And Ye Wei, the grandson of a Kuomintang-Party officer, naturally won the favor of Spielberg, the son of a veteran, and became his big backer.

Maybe when the two will work together to make a film or television about the China-Burma-India war zone like "Saving Private Ryan" or "Band of Brothers", this is a double emotional bond between them.

Without Spielberg's support, without the goodwill of the entire Jewish community, and without the goodwill and peaceful attitude, it would be difficult for Ye Wei to have the current and greater achievements.

Seeing that he was not just a gust of wind, it was really going to become a climate, and some people were unhappy and ruined him!

Because Ye Wei is not only about himself, but also about the attractiveness of Asian boys and the image positioning in social ideology, 2005 is not 1975, the media is more developed, the society is more enlightened, and there have been movies like "Pig's Head Shopping on the Street" with Asian boys and beautiful white girls, and "Sixteen Candles" has signs of going away.

But this is not the mainstream, this is just a little temptation, there is actually a lot of wrestling in it, some people think it's time, and some people think "no, they're still nerds".

Now that he is still a small seedling, what will happen if Ye Wei loses the support of the Jewish power and still attracts attacks?

Brian, who has Jewish ancestry, knows that "Little Sunshine Beauty" will be stopped, just find a reason, Ye Wei will fall from the clouds and gradually disappear in the scandal, and it is better to develop in China at that time, than to get ahead in Hollywood.

"Who do you think is the messenger?"

Hearing Ye Wei ask, Brian said in a deep voice: "It's possible for anyone, even me, the phone call may be being recorded now." But you know? This is another thing that their plan is doing you harm, do you think they didn't succeed?

As long as you are in a bad mood, irritable, and worried, and then you lose trust in the people around you, you are suspicious all day long, you are too stressed, insomnia, mental problems, drugs, and drugs...... Destroy your spirit, destroy your creativity, and they succeed. ”

Why do celebrities almost have to see a psychiatrist, why do people in the entertainment industry have mass victim paranoia, as well as individual victim paranoia, because it is difficult for them to trust others, they dare not trust others, the assistant bodyguards and even the agent spokesperson around you will betray you at any time, and a person who comes to talk to you may also destroy you, the villain may plot against you, and the villain only wants you to die.

Living in the eyes of the media and the public, everything is magnified, buttoning nostrils and picking teeth is also a scandal, and saying the wrong word can lead to disaster......

If you don't have a strong psychological element, it's better not to be a celebrity.

"Brian, you know me, I'm not afraid of this. Ye Wei sneered, "I'm only a black sheep, they want to make me crazy, it's not that easy." But I want to know who it is?"

Brian sighed lightly and said: "I don't know, it may be something done by a white force or other ethnic forces who don't like you, a gossip tabloid, an organization, or an entertainment website, but this is not the most likely, they just want to make you up randomly, there is no need to call a woman to frame you, there is more risk of being backlashed."

It could also be a private act, someone who doesn't like you and wants you to die, like Lovett, but it's not the biggest, and the backlash and exposure can also ruin them.

It shouldn't just be racism, it's the actual interests of you and "Little Sunshine Beauty" who are really offended. ”

The value is in North America, and without the tacit support of the Jewish community, no matter how commercial value is, it will be suppressed.

Without the attention and momentum of the media, it is impossible to produce celebrities, the reason why Ye Wei was able to set off a momentary genius phenomenon, and there are signs of further breaking the ceiling, and getting the favor of so many big people, in addition to talent, has a heavy relationship with his background, Asian but Chinese, Chinese but the descendants of Kuomintang officers.
