"Gary, we have a new release idea, 'Little Miss Sunshine' is going to be filmed on film. ”

In the CEO's office at Pretong headquarters, Gary Gozman looked at the telephone on his desk, frowning at the words of Terry Price, head of distribution at DreamWorks.

In fact, he had already expected what was in front of him, the entire project plan of LMS was built by Ye Wei with one hand and one foot, and this genius boy started to attract investors, so he used the sign of saving money to produce films, such as shooting in Toronto, using high-definition digital cameras, etc., in order to spend more money on the online lineup and the film itself.

It was a very good, very professional program that won him a lot of favor for his project, which is one of the reasons for all of this.

However, the situation is different now, especially after Hanks and Roberts joined the starring roles, the LMS project has changed dramatically, and it has become inappropriate to shoot digitally.

Gozman knows that superstars definitely want to use film, the reason is very simple, film is still the only king today, its quality, its status, and even the way it works, are all liked by superstars, many actors will be affected by the sound of the film to affect their performance, but not these superstars who have become superstars by film films, and they are not used to it without a voice.

And most importantly, safety, they take enough risks by starring in LMS.

"We're mainly looking at a couple of things. Terley Price continued, "One is the impact on the box office, although the film is not promoted or the numbers, the audience does not feel much, this is also a variable, and the audience prefers the imaging effect of the film, there will be a subconscious effect.

The other is the impact on the awards, if the quality of the film is enough for it to hit the awards season, then the digital shooting will become its major flaw, you know what the people in the academy think, whether digital shooting is a film or not, has not been really recognized. ”

"I know......" Gonzman certainly understands that maybe one day in the near future, digital will replace the status of film, for now, especially for a literary film, film is still the best choice, if the result of digital shooting is B+, then it will be A or even A+ for film shooting.

It's a common view in the industry that film shooting is more challenging, harder, more professional, and more respectful than digital.

Before the point of view was changed by the trend of the times, the Oscars and the halls of honor belonged to the film, and the MTV Awards and the youth positioning awards didn't care about these, and young people always accepted new things faster than the old stubborn ones in the academy.

The question is, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "Thinking about the Oscars? did you really position "Little Sunshine Beauty" like this?"

He should be happy, the mediocre results of "Polar Express" really made him unhappy, from the establishment of the project to the release of more than three years, the big production zuò with high hopes but the results were dismal, he once again felt the cruelty of the film industry, and the admonition: No matter what your mother says, don't think that your project will be successful!

Many fantasies are ultimately lessons, the more you fall into a hot-headed situation, the more likely it is that tragedy will happen, and now many people are hot-headed towards Ye Wei.

Gonzman poured cold water and said: "But we also have to consider, is it feasible for the project to suddenly switch to film shooting? Now it is still early before the shooting period, the shooting schedule can be adjusted, but no matter how it is adjusted, it is a total of nine weeks, and if the film is filmed, the actual working time per day will be reduced by at least 1." 5 hours, or even 2 hours, is it enough?"

"You can hurry up with the time, it depends on how well you do your work. "He also has a film crew. ”

Gonzman is a bit of a belliger, the distributor is the distributor, he doesn't have much experience on the set, and he doesn't know the actual situation at all.

That's right, Ye Wei is a director, not a cinematographer, and he doesn't need to operate the machine, and with the same scene scheduling, film and digital are no different for directors, and the cinematographer of the LMS crew, Sean Maurer, has rich experience in film shooting, and should be able to lead the film crew to solve technical problems.

Some directors don't even recognize the camera equipment when they make their debut.

However, compared to film shooting, there will be many new problems, and the director is always the one who makes the decision, in the face of those unexpected situations, does Ye Wei have enough ability to deal with them? Who knows, who can say the answer with confidence?

"Dance of Angels" and "The Wedding is Coming", in which Weige proves that he is a child prodigy, are all digital works, and he may not even be able to distinguish between negative and positive films. Why make it so hard for him? He's still a 16-year-old kid after all!

It's a big difference between a little more and a little less, and Gozman thinks it's more practical to think about the awards season than to think about it.

But he couldn't say that directly, he was the producer of the LMS project, and he wanted to give DreamWorks confidence, so he said, "Turley, ask Weige about this first." ”

"You remember telling him that if you really have the confidence and ability to impact the awards season, but shoot it digitally, everyone will regret it. ”

Turley seemed to hear that he was not very active, and his words were quite meaningful. After hanging up the phone, Gozman suddenly complained: "The film was not filmed well, and everyone has to regret it even more." ”

He can almost see a disaster in the future, there is no problem with the preparation period, it seems to be very smooth, when it comes to the filming period, there are a lot of problems on the first day of filming, Ye Wei can't solve it because he is not familiar with the film set, messy things happen one after another, and the worst thing is that there is not enough time, and nothing is filmed at the end of the day.

But in order to catch up with the schedule, I had to adjust the schedule and cut some script scenes, which should have been left in the editing room to decide the trade-off, but the decision was made on the set. However, it still can't be cut, it can only sacrifice quality, rush every day, and shoot a bunch of mediocre images with no lens language and exquisite performances.

Impact the awards season? First of all, there must be quality before it can be impacted, and winning a bad movie can only impact the Golden Raspberry Award, at that time, whether it is digital or film, who cares.

Thinking of this, Gozman almost had to reply for Ye Wei, no, really no.

Now the big question is, when Tom knows, when Weige knows, what will they do?

You must not let them pat their heads, how do you tell them?

......

In Toronto, the snow is drifting.

Ye Wei's mood is very beautiful, Nina, this silly girl is so cute, once she chooses understanding and trust, her enthusiasm for him has risen from less than 60% below the qualified line, and has quickly risen back, almost in the blink of an eye, it has returned to 90%+!

Before leaving the cliff park, she returned to the car and took a DSLR camera to take pictures, and she seemed to be back, making funny expressions next to the various snow sculptures, relying on her body to be flexible, making some incredible moves, taking the snow fitness ball as a real fitness ball, bending over the Snow King's Palace, and riding on the snow pig to rush forward......

It really made him sweat, for fear that she would suddenly lose her footing and fall down, and smash his precious artwork.

Enough to leave the park, have breakfast at a nearby restaurant, and go to school.

From today on, Ye Wei no longer wears glasses to school, and no longer deliberately conceals his identity. The power of that pair of glasses was proven again, and because Viy was in the limelight, he was recognized several times in one morning, and finally inevitably caused a stir when eating in the cafeteria at noon.

Starting with an Asian female student, it has become a group of people of all ethnicities laughing and screaming around them, attracting the attention of the whole cafeteria.

"You're really viy!?", "Oh my god! How long have you been studying here?", "Can't believe it!, can you give me an autograph?", "Viy, I like you so much!"

Ye Wei glanced at the smiling faces of everyone at the table, and became more and more crowded, and saw Nina standing not far away looking through the gap in the crowd, while Damian, who was sitting opposite, looked sluggish.

"Guys, thank you, thank you!" Ye Wei raised his right hand, "It's me, the god of weddings, people who like me, cheer!"

"Ahhhhhh

"Great, great!" said an Asian girl burst into tears of excitement, and an atmosphere of surprise, presumptuousness, and fanaticism filled the air, making the young men and women feel like they were in a party.

Ye Wei smiled, never disappointed people who liked him, and he was happy today, and said loudly at the moment: "Do you know what happened to me when I kicked that cake to the ground when I was filming on the set of "The Wedding is Coming"?"

In the midst of everyone's smiling gaze, he stood up and continued: "It was very angry, and it said, 'Director, although I am a cake, I am also an actor, sometimes you have to kick an actor, sometimes you can't kick it, let alone kick it so hard! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he danced an impromptu cakewalk into the crowd, "Come on, baby, let's go!"

Now everyone burst into laughter, laughing at his humor and boiling blood for his dancing, this is really viy!

The entire cafeteria was detonated, and all the people who thought that Ye Wei would be arrogant, unapproachable, and put on a star shelf also cheered at this time, and some people joined in the dance, the free atmosphere of the art school, the proficient dance, and the passion brought by Ye Wei all let them enjoy this flash mob-like cakewalk, if there is a DJ DJ DJing it would be perfect.

Nina watched from afar, laughing, clapping, Yunik was so cool, she had always wanted him to be a cool kid, but ...... I'm not used to it.

Wexford was shocked and enthusiastic that day, and thousands of students in the school knew that Ye Wei was studying here!

Not everyone likes him, and not everyone cares, but for the supporters, it's like winning the lotto!

"Nina, your neighbor turned out to be a big star! God, when are you going to hide it from us!"

"I'm going to sign an autograph and take a group photo, it's great!"

Things that are not used to blowing out, being chirped by classmates and friends at school, chirping by Hailei and those people after school, Nina's mobile phone is about to explode, they said that they must see Ye Wei today, otherwise they will not let her go. She made an appointment with them to meet them at the "Mandarin restaurant" in Golden Square in the evening, and she would take him there.

You can't let those crazy girls know that Yunik lives in her house, or they won't be at peace.

After practicing ballet for two hours, Nina was quite satisfied with her watch today, but unfortunately when she looked at the sidelines, Yunik was dozing off, and then the two drove to the Golden Square.

When she arrives on the street outside the Mandarin restaurant, she finally gets rid of the little guilt she has for giving her friends bad nicknames, crazy girl!

As if a dream had come true, on the street at night, a group of nearly ten girls were already waiting there, Hailei, Alice, Monica, Liz, ...... As soon as she and Yunik walked away, they all screamed and rushed around Yunik, "viy!" and "Oh my god, I really saw you!"

Regardless of whether they were viy fans or not, they are all crazy now, Hai Lei, a big fan, is about to cry, ignoring her storage, and hugging Yunik and hugging her!

"Hailei!" Nina suddenly panicked, "I said you can't be like this......"

"You're so stingy, I have to hug me every day, I'll hug you for a while!" Hailei hugged her tighter. Alice also squeezed up: "I want to hug you too, but, you don't mind, right?" It's really shameless, and she actually called "Wei" so affectionately, but fortunately she didn't defile "Yunik", Alice smiled and said: "My name is Alice, I've liked you for a long time, can we be friends? ”

Nina is about to be, Alice was not a fan of viy at all before, it's just that all celebrities gossip, if the dream refers to having a celebrity friend, it makes sense.

But what's going on with Liz? In the past, Hailei and the others occasionally talked about Liz who didn't join the discussion about VIY, but now they are like veteran fans, scrambling to hug Yunik's other arm, as if she was his girlfriend. I can't believe it!

"Can I kiss you? just on the cheeks!" asked Liz.

"Uh, this...... You're going to ask Nina, it's her territory. Ye Wei smiled.

"Oh!!" the girls let out a cry of envy, how could their boyfriend not know that?

Nina crossed her hands on her waist, she wanted to scold them, but suddenly she felt that it was okay, what was there to worry about with them, look at how happy Hailei was, don't spoil the fun, alas, who called me a good person. She pouted and said, "If you want to kiss, kiss, hug, just for a minute, you can't kiss, 1, 2, 3, start!"

"Wow!" The girls immediately rushed to kiss and hug Ye Wei, hugging him was essential, kissing his cheek, so excited that his face was flushed, and holding him with both hands, burying his head in his chest, one after another.

Why does time pass so slowly! Nina anxiously looked at the time on her phone, from the beginning of the indifference quickly became indifferent, she is not such a good person! I can't stand it, I really can't stand it, whether it's time or not, she shouted urgently: "It's over in a minute, stop, stop!"

"Hahaha!" Liz and Monica walked away satisfied, although Hailei was reluctant to continue, Alice pinched Yunik's ass obscenely, with a happy look on her face, as if to say: Earned, earned!

"Uh...... ok。 Ye Wei shrugged.

It's impossible for Nina not to be angry, she won't be like that! rushed up to wipe his wet cheeks, glared at them, and declared sovereignty: "Don't go too far. ”

"Relax, we're just so happy. "Yes!", "The photo has just begun!"

This buffet party was crazy and frolicking, but fortunately it was short, everyone had a full meal, a group photo and an autograph, and then it was goodbye, she and Yunik got into the Land Rover and left, and the crazy girls let out an ambiguous cry of envy by the side of the car, thinking that they still had the second half of the event, and it was sex......

Oh my God! For the first time, Nina was ashamed of the bad friends she knew, who were so humiliating and degrading to her.

Yunik was right, if he had known that he was viy in the first place, maybe he would have been one of them, which is really too weak.

Under the night sky, the Land Rover was moving forward on the way home, and it had already driven for a while, Ye Wei was still laughing constantly, feeling very funny, "Nina, your gymnastics team friends are so enthusiastic, I like them, hahaha!"

"Hmph. Nina flattened her mouth and suddenly felt a little unhappy, "yes, I'm no different from them, I'm just lucky......"

Ye Wei stopped laughing, looked at her, knew that the stupid girl's love was still unstable, and coaxed: "You know that I only have you in my heart." Anyway, you've seen everyone's viy very clearly today, right?

"Of course......" Nina muttered, at the end of the day, of course there was this feeling, which was true and which was false, if Yunik was real, then it was really not that bad, they didn't know anything, they didn't understand anything, and she did.

"Nina, I'm sorry, it's true that falling in love with me will be a lot different, it's okay that there are no paparazzi in Toronto, but sooner or later it will be ...... You're going to get into the public eye, you're going to be under pressure, and all I can do is try to protect you. Ye Wei said, "This problem cannot be solved, we can only adapt and face it." ”

Nina smiled lightly, "I don't think these are problems, aren't they just some media attention, I'm fine, it's just ......" It's just that you don't lie to me again.

At this time, Ye Wei's mobile phone rang suddenly, he saw that it was a work mobile phone, he usually paid attention to hiding his identity, turned to voicemail and then replied, now he doesn't need it, he connected the call at the moment, put on the earbuds, and said, "Hello?"

"It's me. Gonzman's voice came from the earbuds, "Today there is a new idea from the DreamWorks distribution department, we have to listen to your thoughts first, and I hope that "Little Sunshine Beauty" will be filmed on film instead." ”

"What? Are you kidding me? Shoot on film instead!?" Ye Wei was shocked when he heard this, "That will be a lot of extra work, and it will be a waste of time, just the time to change the film will add up, I will have to lose several days of shooting days, why do you have this idea?"

"Whew, it's good if you know......"

Isn't it a little different from Yonyk?"

"Of course......" Nina muttered, at the end of the day, of course there was this feeling, which was true and which was false, if Yunik was real, then it was really not that bad, they didn't know anything, they didn't understand anything, and she did.

"Nina, I'm sorry, it's true that falling in love with me will be a lot different, it's okay that there are no paparazzi in Toronto, but sooner or later it will be ...... You're going to get into the public eye, you're going to be under pressure, and all I can do is try to protect you. Ye Wei said, "This problem cannot be solved, we can only adapt and face it." ”

Nina smiled lightly, "I don't think these are problems, aren't they just some media attention, I'm fine, it's just ......" It's just that you don't lie to me again.

At this time, Ye Wei's mobile phone rang suddenly, he saw that it was a work mobile phone, he usually paid attention to hiding his identity, turned to voicemail and then replied, now he doesn't need it, he connected the call at the moment, put on the earbuds, and said, "Hello?"
