How can it be said that Ye Wei accepted the invitation of the president of the White House to meet with him? Brian didn't know.

The invitation of the White House is neither too late nor too early, a new pop culture symbol like VIY, whose achievements and influence at the age of 18 have made the White House impossible to ignore, no matter what ethnicity, he is also an outstanding example of Asian Americans, and has epoch-making significance.

The meeting was a win-win, as VIY's immense popularity brought a certain amount of popular support to President George W. Bush, and his own worth was affirmed and enhanced.

If someone else is changed, other teenage star idols will not happily agree to come down, but not Ye Wei!

The bad boy had already refused to attend the White House Correspondents' Association Annual Dinner on the 29th of last month, but he regretted that "I missed a good show", naturally referring to Stephen Colbert's speech at the banquet, which was supposed to be a talk show, but Stephen mocked the president and others for 24 minutes in front of the president, many dignitaries, celebrities and journalists from all walks of life.

The incident has become a hot topic recently, and although the mainstream media wanted to mention it, the speech was posted on YouTube and received 2.7 million views in two days.

Stephen Colbert is really on fire, and Comedy Central's new talk show "The Colbert Report" opened for him last October is now a ratings explosion.

Ye Wei's refusal to attend also caused the media to mention, and many voices criticized him for being frivolous.

The White House has officially invited the President to receive him personally. In this regard, the first thing VIY heard was: "Tell the president, FUCK-YOU." ”

"Weige, do you think about it again? discuss it with your family?" Brian tried his best to persuade, "It doesn't matter who the president is, this is 'the president meets an 18-year-old genius', how is it also an honor, you will be more recognized by the mainstream society." ”

"Maybe you think it's an honor, I think it's a shame, so there's no interest. Ye Wei said.

"Well, be careful. Brian knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he might as well be a good reminder: "Don't be too disrespectful to the president." ”

"I try. ”

......

Recently, there have been a series of incidents about President Bush's humiliation, and after Colbert's astonishing speech, Ye Wei first rejected the White House Correspondents' Association and then directly rejected the invitation of the White House.

The White House revealed the news, and White House spokesman Tony Snow said regretfully to the media: "The president likes Ye Wei's movies very much, and has always wanted to meet and commend this outstanding young man who promotes the American dream." We tried our best to be sincere, but unfortunately we couldn't get his invitation, and he must have been really busy. ”

Snow also said that the White House will still invite Ye Wei in the future, hoping that the president's wish can be realized as soon as possible.

The White House has already kicked the ball to Ye Wei and told the media loudly: It's not that we don't look up to him as a genius, it's that he doesn't see us.

There are not many people who refuse to be received by the president, but there are also many, for example, every year the NBA championship team is received by the president, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird have refused to meet the president at the time, Jordan is "too busy", and Bird told the media: "If the president wants to see me, he knows where to come to me." ”

Now there is one more Ye Wei, an 18-year-old genius bad boy.

There was an uproar in the media, and right-leaning media accused Ye Wei of disrespecting the president, and even said that he was unpatriotic and did not have a sense of honor.

The left-leaning media are helping Ye Wei, and there are long queues of people and people who want to applaud him, but they need him to show his attitude, why refuse? Don't be unpatriotic.

The anticipation was quickly echoed by VIY's blog: "President George Bush wants to see me, I don't want to see him." Because I don't believe a dog will not bark at him, unless it is also called Spot, yes there was once one, but it died. ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, Spot is the child of Bush Sr.'s first White House dog, "Milley", who entered the White House with George W. Bush in 2001 and died in 2004.

Dogs bark at bad people, bark at intruders, bark at people who disturb peace. Spot means both spot and stain.

The media translated this sentence as: "George Bush is a war criminal, and the war he waged is a stain on the United States, and he has caused countless people to lose their homes and killed many, many people." I'm not unpatriotic, I'm not for war, and I'm disgusted with Bush as a fool. ”

The media on the left and right have exploded, and Ye Wei has not shown any other political stance except for indicating that he is pro-China, and the outside world does not know whether he is a supporter of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. Now the Democrats are so happy, VIY is definitely not a Republican!

Most people in the entertainment industry support the Democratic Party, and it seems that Ye Wei is too.

Non-partisanship is not a problem, unpatriotism is nothing, and the only thing that can save oneself in the United States is blatant racism. Scolding the United States will not be over, Oliver Stone's movies are all scolding the United States, most of the Beat Generation scolding the United States, and Jon of "The Daily Show" scolds every day.

Ye Wei didn't scold the United States, but only scolded the Bush administration, and Colbert scolded him in front of him for 24 minutes.

However, because he is Asian and sensitive to everything, minorities often try to squeeze into the mainstream, and now that the mainstream is chasing him, he is showing more and more disdain for the mainstream, and more and more exuding the prodigal atmosphere of the Beat Generation.

The New York Times gave Ye Wei the nickname "Little Li Bai".

Few ordinary Americans know about Li Bai, but the four kings of Beat literature, Allen Ginsburg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corsel, and William Borrows, the first three of whom have been influenced by Li Bai's poems and life stories, regard Li Bai as one of their idols.

Of course, there is another Beat King who believes in Zen Buddhism, and Gary Snyder, who claims to have been influenced by Chinese culture and literature by 80% in the fifties and sixties, and his translation of Hanshan poetry and his poems had a profound impact on the Beat School, and then there was Kerouac's "Dharma Ronin", and the Beat Party's complex of oriental culture, which influenced John Lennon's creation, life philosophy, and his love with Yoko Ono, Pang Fengyi, and even Phil Collins's third marriage.

This also established the spread and status of Buddhism in the Western world. Buddhism was the most egalitarian and peaceful religion in the world, and it was the spirit that American society urgently needed at that time.

However, the vast majority of Beat Beaters, hippies, and rock singers are only ignorant of the admiration of Eastern culture, Buddhism, and China.

"Forrest Gump" makes this point of playfulness to the fullest: in the classic passage of Forrest Gump and John Lennon's dialogue on the talk show (special effects synthesis), the host asks Forrest Gump: "What is China like?" Forrest Gump answered truthfully: "In Chinese mainland, people have almost nothing." ”

Lennon listened to the question: "No property?" Forrest Gump did not understand and added: "In China, they don't go to church." Lennon asked, "There is no religion?" and the host said, "It's unimaginable." LENNON SAID THOUGHTFULLY, "IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TRY TO IMAGINE, DICK." So there was "Imagine", which has been sung to this day.

"You-may-say-that-Im-a-dreamer, but-Im-not-the-only-one" - Imagine

What does "Little Li Bai" mean, but the secrets don't care, they know that this bad boy is really personality and cool.

Whether the media and the public appreciate or not Ye Wei's anti-war attitude depends on their own attitude, with applause and continued criticism, and another controversy.

The VIY refusal to meet with the president and the Colbert incident caused a sensation, and Ye Wei did not respond after that, he seemed to be really busy.

......

On Sunday morning, May 7, at Spielberg's invitation, Ye Wei went to the Riviera Country Club to play. Before the arrival of the Peter Jacksons and Alice Sieberds, Ye Wei and Spielberg came to walk and talk in the beautiful country meadow.

Spielberg wore small round-framed glasses with a logo and a gentle smile, and first mentioned Ye Wei's sentence: You can express your political stance, but you can't get involved too deeply.

"I've always had a lack of interest in politics. Ye Wei said, "This time they pulled me to the White House, and I rewarded them with a punch." ”

The two didn't say much about it.

Hollywood has a lot of political correctness, don't be racist, especially don't be anti-Semitic, don't be anti-gay, etc., there is no don't be anti-government. Ye Wei does not have those tendencies, and he himself is deeply troubled by racial discrimination.

"Don't let emotional matters affect your movie, not for too long. Spielberg knew that Ye Weigang had just broken up with Amy Rosen, and he had also heard about his changes in recent months.

Old S is experienced, and when he was younger, he couldn't tell the story of Amy Owen for a few days.

When the two met in 1976, Lao Si was 30 years old and had just become a Hollywood celebrity because of "Jaws", and Amy Owen was 23 years old and had just made her screen debut in "Carrie the Witch".

The two fell in love at first sight, began dating, and soon lived together. Originally, she was also happy, but Amy Owen is a career woman, and she said "I don't want to be just called Steven Spielberg's girlfriend", so she wants to work hard to become a successful actress, but not in Lao Si's movies.

And Lao Si himself was both fascinated by movies and yearning for family, so there was an "irreconcilable disagreement", and in 1979, three years after falling in love, Lao Si was dumped and broke up.

Although the two are still close friends, Lao Si, who has been hurt by love, has been crazy for a long time, repeatedly gaffes, has fun with models in love, and has fallen into a low ebb in his career, 1979's "1941" cost 35 million only received 31 million North American box office, you must know that the previous work "The Third Kind of Contact" (1977) with a cost of 20 million is 1. 1.6 billion.

People say that Lao Si is finished, genius has fallen, and then "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1981 and "Alien ET" in 1982.

Lao Si never had a new girlfriend until 1984, when Amy O's diploma "Yantel" won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and she felt that she was okay, and finally she was not just Lao Si's girlfriend. Five years after breaking up like this, as soon as the Oscars ended, 38-year-old Lao Si and 31-year-old Amy Owen got back together, and their son was born in June of the following year and they got married in November.

How do you describe their passion at the time? The prenuptial agreement between the two was written on a napkin, and of course it was invalid later, and the third-most expensive divorce fee in history that year.

was originally happy, but in 1989, four years after marriage, it finally ended in divorce, and Amy Owen still couldn't stand being called "Spielberg's wife", and couldn't be his good wife and mother, she wanted a career and a son to raise together.

Lao Si is crazy again, this time it gets better quickly, because not long after the divorce he and his current wife Kate Capshaw, the heroine of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", Lao Si's confidante, is also 7 years younger than him, with a daughter Jessica Capshaw born to her ex-husband and adopted son Theo. A family-type woman, in line with Lao Si's big family dream.

Since the two got married in October 1991, they have had three before and after, adopted another one, and raised seven children.

And Amy Owen, after the divorce, quickly dated the Brazilian director Bruno Valletto, who was two years younger, the two married in 1996, divorced in 2005 last year, and had a son.

How to say their initial state after divorce?

Amy Owen gave birth to her son Gabriel for Barrieto on May 4, 1990, and Kate Capshaw gave birth to her daughter Sasha for Laos on May 14, 1990.

This is Lao Si's love story, and it can be anyone's love story.

"Steven, it's false to say that there is no impact at all, you know. Ye Wei looked at the smiling Spielberg, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm a little worried about "Soul Surfer", it's not that I don't do my best, it's just that sometimes I'm like a fly that can't find its direction......"

"You have to feel when you make a movie, and that kind of thing affects the feeling. Spielberg said.

"Yes. Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders: "But I'm okay now, now I'm calm, go with the flow, and enjoy happiness, you don't have to worry about my work." ”

Emotional matters are personal matters, only you can understand and solve them, how to hand over the work to the work.

Spielberg didn't say much, how could he criticize an 18-year-old boy for not doing what he couldn't do in his 30s? "Soul Surfer" is not a DreamWorks/Amperin project. However, as an investor and producer of TLB, he certainly can't tolerate Ye Wei's sloppiness.

"Boy, all you have to think of TLB is this: I can do my best, but I can't smash it, I can't do my best. "That's the only thing I want from you." ”

"I will. Ye Wei nodded.

"One more request, you stay away from Sasha. Lao Si is not joking, Sasha has always admired and liked Ye Wei, regarded him as a hero, and next Sunday on her 16th birthday, Ye Wei was invited to attend her birthday party.

Ye Wei was stunned, "Can't I attend her birthday party?" ”

"You're a bad boy, let her go. Spielberg's old smile was a little intriguing, "I can't give you this opportunity." ”

"Hahaha!" Ye Wei laughed, "OK, I'm not going, for the sake of a father." Don't worry, Sasha won't be sad, after all, she enjoys the same treatment as the president. ”

Spielberg patted Ye Wei's shoulder hard, and continued to talk about the movie while walking.
