Chapter 187: I already have a mind for apologizing
Julia Roberts was angry, pity and disappointed with Ye Wei, a bastard boy, who thought he was a smart person with a promising future, but in just half a month, what did he do!
Don't think about it anymore when she comes back after giving birth, she also has a new thought about letting Emma make a cameo, viy is stinking, if he knows how to repent and it's okay, who knows if his bad things will come one after another?
Emma can't associate with this kind of person anymore, no matter in terms of life, temperament, career, image, etc., Emma is not suitable for this friend.
If her niece hates Ye Wei, Roberts doesn't have to worry about it, it's just that Emma and Ye Wei are quite fine, and they play together in private from her, and Ye Wei and Lily Collins have just broken up!
"Emma, I'm going to cancel your cameo. ”
On this day, calling her niece to her home, in the wooded courtyard, Julia Roberts sat on the pregnant woman's wooden chair and said to Emma calmly.
"No!" Emma's first reaction was to say no, glaring angrily, "You are the one who asked me to make a cameo, I didn't want to at first, and when I said it well, I won't make a cameo again?"
Roberts was sure that Emma was in the know, "Ye Wei sued you?"
"He sued me that day, and he said a lot of good things about you, saying that you can't be wronged, but he seems to be wrong. ”
"Viy is very good at saying nice things......" Roberts shook his head lightly and looked at his niece, who was not deeply involved in the world, "the situation has changed, and now you are too close to him, which is not a good thing." ”
I don't think so! Emma had her own thoughts and said loudly: "I cherish Viy as a friend, although I haven't known him for a long time, he really taught me a lot, and the books he recommends are very good, he understands me! Auntie, don't you think you're a bit wall-ridden?"
Roberts was not angry, and smiled helplessly, "Only by learning to act on opportunities can you get better and better in this world." Listen to my aunt, I'm one of the very few people who won't hurt you. ”
"I don't listen, I don't want to be you, I'm going to be myself!" Emma stood up from her chair with a resolute face, ready to leave, "I'm going to continue to make cameos, I'm going to support VIY! ”
"Well, let's see how well he does in public relations and how well he has changed, and then decide whether to make a cameo or not. Roberts doesn't have to worry about it, the key is, "You don't want to play with him for the time being, you also want to drink and beat people?"
"It depends on the situation. Seeing that her aunt's attitude had softened a little, Emma sat back and said with a toothy smile: "Then you continue to give him a chance, right?"
"Say it again. Roberts couldn't help but glance at his niece, bad signs, Emma helped Ye Wei speak, and said angrily: "You look, he will most likely say that it is because of broken love or something, drinking irrationally, and irrationally being ruthless after getting drunk, feeling very ashamed and sad, apologizing to everyone, and asking for everyone's forgiveness...... Maybe I'll use several sorrys. Nice quibble. You beware of this kind of person, the more talkative people are, the less they tell the truth. ”
Emma didn't say anything, her eyes flashed with disdain, and her aunt was cunning, saying typical crisis PR rhetoric, even if it was true, it would show that Viy was not a good person?
......
Tom Hanks is also a little depressed because of Ye Wei's recent appearance, he brought Viy out, and now he is still investing, so to speak, his success or failure will not affect Ye Wei, but Ye Wei's success or failure will have some impact on him.
Aside from the interests, Hanks also felt sorry for Ye Wei, as a friend, as a senior, he really didn't want to see Ye Wei destroy himself.
How could such a smart, hard-working, and sophisticated young man suddenly become confused one after another? Did anyone teach him badly? I have never heard that he is obsessed with the pie!
The change brought about by the broken love?
Hanks really couldn't figure it out, so he expressed his attitude to Brian and Leslie, and persuaded Weige to apologize publicly as soon as possible, and then do something to save Sunshine's image, and reform his life, I really don't want to see him become a meteor that falls rapidly.
"Tom, that little genius knows how to do it, so we don't have to worry about it. Rita said.
"I know that as long as he wants, with his eloquence it is not a problem, and I hope he will recover soon. ”

This week's North American film market has several new topics, breaking through the box office of 10 million! The rate of return has risen to 27 times! An indisputable new box office miracle, a "Napoleon" craze that is gradually becoming a sensation.
The main creators Jared Hess, Jerusa Hess, and the starring Jon Hyde have all begun to become popular among young people, especially the Hess couple is really a new model of "golden boy and girl" (golden-couple), college classmates, young love, and the pursuit of movie dreams together...... You can't pick out half a thorn.
And, this Asian-starred R-rated comedy with Asian stories has received an okay opening result, and it is extremely rare for such an Asian American movie to be released on a large scale (not an action movie of an Asian movie star like Jackie Chen, talking about Asian Americans), without any publicity, the 9 million production budget received 9.12 million in the first week, which is not a bomb, but the new line company can be relieved that this type of film will have considerable disc revenue.
Its success made ifc and Preton stomp their chests even more, what's the point? A 32-year-old Korean actor and a 27-year-old Indian-American actor co-star, John Cho is a bit famous among Asian actors, but they don't have a topic at all!
Everything is far worse than viy, appearance, age, talent, origin, everything is far worse!
It was possible to receive this number...... originally thought that he would pick up a big bargain in the distribution and reap a big surprise, but now it seems that it is a pity, the potential of the hasty distribution has not completely exploded, and most of the 36 million box office consumption is Ye Wei, the so-called "box office appeal", and the promotion of the movie itself has not been done well, and the two can improve each other, and now I can only sigh at the wrong judgment at the beginning.
This week's champion film is the new film of M. Knight Shyamalan, the soon-to-be 34-year-old old Asian prodigy (as it can be called now), with a production budget of 60 million, which is already good, although its evaluation reputation is only hovering at the passing line, but Shyamalan is still the most powerful Asian director in the commercial film category, and a Hollywood A-list director.
Originally, people inside and outside the industry regarded Ye Wei's upper limit as much higher than Shyamalan, and he would be a great director and a unique cultural idol in the future.
In a few years, those who invest in him now will have a good return that will laugh out loud.
However, Shyamalan was behind, there were no drunken fights, no depraved tendencies, and of course he was 29 years old at that time.
Now, when people talk about Ye Wei again, they have to put a big question mark, let's take a look at this kid's response first!
......
Everyone thought that Ye Wei would respond quickly, but more than a week has passed since the incident, and there is still no sound.
It's not that he doesn't want to go back, he's waiting! Brian is getting more and more anxious, in fact, he has already taken on the responsibilities of some managers on Ye Wei, and he is also happy, because viy is already a very, very important customer! Seeing that the wings of this newborn golden phoenix have not yet grown hard, he is about to leave the nest and fly away......
At this time, Brian felt what Lovett said, "That kid is a stinky temper", and now Lovett must be gloating, waiting to see Ye Wei's pitiful appearance of crying and apologizing, he also wants to see it! Ye Wei is still thinking about it.
Leslie's side couldn't do anything, they didn't reach an agreement, they really didn't dare to assert themselves, otherwise they just said one, and Ye Wei said two, which would be even more ugly. So if Ye Wei likes cold treatment, just treat it cold.
But the gossip media didn't mean this, and they were still hyping up this triangular scandal, and Brian didn't give up persuading Ye Wei, and made another phone call this morning.
"Weige, have you figured it out? It's time to do something! If you drag it out, your reputation will only get worse, in fact, you didn't make much of a mistake, you just got hyped, as long as you apologize, people will forgive you, everyone has forgiven Angelo, your silence will make people hate you, it seems that you bullied Angelano, it's time to do something!"
"Relax Brian, I'll respond today, and I'll be fine. ”
Hearing Ye Wei's laughter, Brian almost cried, great! The prodigy is back!
......
The red glow of dusk filled the sky, Brentwood, Ye Wei whistled briskly, wore a jersey and pants, played a football, walked on the way home, and returned to the school in the afternoon after playing a football game with Lev and them, and then came back with a stop-and-go stop.
"Brother!" The lawn of the front garden that had just returned home flew over like a long-awaited flower, probably because of the recent good food, her face became even more chubby.
Ye Wei pinched her cheek viciously, "Are you mischievous, are you feeding Toto something indiscriminately?"
"No, no. Duoduo opened him with both hands and ran away unhappily.
Ye Wei watched her and Toto walk into the room, and smiled, Duoduo was about to go to school and enter Berkeley Hall. He thought that he would have to make a few phone calls and tell the little brothers over there, those children who were not even 10 years old when he left and are now teenagers, who dare to bully Duoduo, slaughter me!
Duoduo didn't know her brother's recent situation, and of course her parents knew that they were nervous, and they had been worried that their son would be lost because of fame, and a few days ago they almost had to enforce the family law and let him kneel in front of his grandfather's god card to repent.
His words allowed him to escape: "Don't worry, since I was in kindergarten, you have been worried that I will go to the point of no return, do I have it? I know what I can and cannot touch, drugs? "Mom and Dad thought about it, but they just reprimanded it severely, mainly because of the bad cop mother.
"La-la-la. Ye Wei hummed a song and came to the back garden, only to see his mother taking care of a few pots of flowers and plants by the porch, and his father was making a tree house on a banyan tree in the distance, making it for Duoduo, he said hello and said: "I have made a serious decision, next school year, I will go to school in Canada." ”
Gu Qiao was stunned, Ye Haogen almost fell from the tree, "What!?"
"It was a deliberate decision, I needed, I wanted. Ye Wei smiled at them, "It will be filmed in Toronto, and all the locations must be determined in the preliminary preparations, and there is a lot of work, such as extras, equipment and equipment...... A lot of work can only be done in Toronto.
Even when I stayed in Los Angeles to go to school, I often had to take a big vacation and fly to Toronto for business trips. So I was going to apply to the school and send me to the school in Toronto as an exchange student for grade 10. ”
Speaking of which, he looked at the twilight sky, "I also want to wait outside, yes......"
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao, who walked down from the tree, looked at each other a few times, understanding that there was a need for work, but they were reluctant to come, and they were not at ease......
"It's too late to apply now, right?" Ye Haogen didn't know if he wanted his son to go out, it was August, and school would start at the end of the month.
"I don't know. Ye Wei shrugged, "It should be no problem, if you exchange to Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles, someone will want to come." ”
Studying at a super expensive private school is so good, Harvard-Westlake has the ability to satisfy him, in fact, he wants to go to a mountain school for a semester, while milking cows on the farm, while studying, 60 places per semester, living and managing the farm together. This program has always been popular in high school, and wealthy children like to go to the countryside to experience life.
"And I'm not going to go to any prestigious school, I'm going to go to an acting school. ”
"What?" Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were stunned again.
Ye Wei said with a smile: "I have been studying acting for a long time, studying in those ordinary schools, focusing on those academic courses that are not difficult for me, it is useless, only art schools are suitable, music? I really don't have that talent." "That "idiot song" won't be released anymore, just let the wind go.
"I belong to film, although my first goal is to be a director, but I know how to act, which will only make me a better director. ”
This is the feeling he had during the filming, thinking about Ang Lee, it is necessary for him to repair his performance.
"It's fine. Ye Haogen absolutely supports his son's film dream, and also believes in the supervision of Harvard-Westlake, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed with his son's decision.
"As long as you don't fall behind in your studies. Gu Qiaoyan's face changed, "Also, you want to live in a host family." ”
"Huh?" this time it was Ye Wei's turn to be surprised, "Why?" "It's not that he has no money now! He doesn't need others to help him adapt to the local culture, Toronto is not Mars!"
Gu Qiao glared at his son, "Because someone can take care of you, and you won't be left alone over there." ”
"Please, mom......" Ye Wei smiled helplessly, reluctant, "This will be a lot more inconvenient, sometimes I have to be busy with work......"
Seeing his mother's expression like she was about to carry out the family law, he knew it was time to shut up, "OK, OK! Homestay! Maybe it's fun, I'm not Ye Wei, I'm an international student from China...... Gu You!unique-ku! That's it, I'll call the school later.
I'm really busy, and I have to respond to the previous things today, don't worry, it'll be fine. ”
......
The night is like water, Los Angeles is bustling with bright lights, the Ye family, Ye Wei is sitting in front of the computer desk in the room, looking at the text messages on his private mobile phone, old and new, many of them reveal their concern for him and their inquiries about the latest situation.
Emma Roberts just sent another message: "Viy, are you still responding? My aunt is very unhappy with your handling. ”
At this time, Ye Wei pressed the phone and replied to her and asked, "What's the matter? Your aunt is no longer thinking about joining?" Soon, Emma replied: "It looks like that, she thinks you are not responsible." I think you really have to give an account to the public anyway. ”
An explanation to the public!
In these days, it was not the first time Ye Wei had heard or seen this sentence, Anna Sophia called and cried urgently: "Apologize, right? My mother said that it is best to apologize." Even the arrogant Master Jiya bowed his head to the world: "Child, if you don't speak, people will misunderstand, say something, say sorry and won't be rotten." ”
He knows that everyone is good for him, after all, in their opinion, apologizing is the best solution, calming down the incident, saving the image, and having a bright future......
Thanks, guys, but that's not me.
"You're right, you really want to give an account to the public. ”
Ye Wei replied to Emma's text message, then tapped on the keyboard, wrote an article in a daze, and after a long time, nodded with a smile, and first sent a text message to Brian, Leslie and others: "I will make a public statement on my blog soon, dear guys, maybe you don't like it, but I won't force myself anymore, this is me." I also promise that the movie will be made. ”
After sending it, he didn't look at the text messages that were quickly replied to, he opened the webpage, went to his blog, and made this public statement.
......
When Emma saw Ye Wei's public statement titled "viy is not a lie", when many people saw it, friends, reporters, and fans ...... They were all shocked and stunned! People were completely surprised!
Some people applauded excitedly, others frowned and scolded with disdain, and countless people ridiculed and said, "It's really annoying!" and countless people shouted, "It's so cool!"
so-fug-cool!!
viy is not a lie--Ye Wei, August 7, 2004
The scandal about me and Kristen Stewart could have stopped, I never dated her, and that day the devil knows what she was thinking, and she found me and forcibly kissed me in the parking lot, creating a huge misunderstanding that I didn't want to respond to because it was ridiculous.
But the more it went too far, and what did it do? There's a lot of going on in my life, and it's got me involved in a fight.
That's right, I hit Michael Angrano, he made the first move, before that, I told the truth very hard, I can understand why he did it, I don't have the slightest hatred or anger towards him, in fact I wanted to hit another person, guess who?
But Michael, okay, you really should learn martial arts, kung fu or something, and you won't have so much luck if you mess with someone you shouldn't mess with next time.
I drank, before and after drinking, I knew what I was doing, I didn't drink and drive, I didn't have the slightest intention or action to hurt the innocent.
After this happened, a lot of people said to me, say something, say something...... Apologize, man! Even my dog, Toto, is on the verge of depression.
I don't understand, no one took Ron Howard to jail just because he failed?
So some people can't wait to announce that I'm ruined, and I really feel the power of the media to talk nonsense, Papa garbage, media, they are the species that can ruin you, if you care. So again, I'll still give them the middle finger, but I forgot to say to them, you!
Look, I know I'm just getting stronger, and nothing can ruin my movie dreams.
All of this, I wouldn't say it's part of growing up in youth, because it's part of awakening in life.
I'm not going to say what the PR team designed for me, because I'm going to say my own words.
I don't want to play the law of stars, I want to play the law of viy.
When my grandfather was alive, he once told me, "No matter who you want to become, just have a clear conscience and stand up to the sky." "Grandpa, I just want to be a person with a clear conscience and stand up to the sky, and the first step is to be an honest person first.
I have made an apology in mind, and I will never apologize for it.
