Chapter 586: A New Star Is Rising

Early in the morning on Monday the 11th, Ye Wei woke up from a nightmare, and dreamed that Amber suddenly joined forces with Stuart to say that he cheated on feelings, and also said that he had beaten her violently, beating her like Rui, dressing up to the media as a victim and a feminist hero who mustered up the courage to stand up.

Maybe this is retribution, winter bones will definitely cause nightmares for many people.

Staying in Brentwood's hometown for the past two days, he was the first person in the family to get up, and it was only when he started playing football in the backyard that the family was lively. Mom was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, Toto was squatting next to him, and Dad excitedly took a copy of the Los Angeles Times and greeted him at the back door laughing: "Wei, Wei!"

"Haha. Ye Wei gave his dad a thumbs up, surprise, right? This is just the beginning!

Wearing the No. 5 jersey, Duoduo shouted and ran to steal, he immediately ran away with the football, "Don't even think about it!" "If you are robbed by a 6-year-old child, you should obediently make a movie!" Duoduo scrambled to work in vain, and gradually became a little annoyed, which really made him happy: "How can a Soccer-player play a Football-player?"

"Ahh ”

Ye Wei glared at him and saw it, a girl's natural ability can hit the key point and kill you with a word. He snorted, "Soon it won't be anymore." ”

Children are flexible, and Duoduo asked with a grin, "Are you going on a date with Lily today?" ”

"Tonight we're going to see 'Happy Feet,' which is a movie that only footballers can see. Ye Wei walked away with the football, and he was too busy to watch it before.

George Miller's films are not to be missed, the master has made two films in his lifetime, one is a thriller, dark and furious horror movie like the "Mad Max" series, and the other is a childlike joy and warm moving movie like "Piggy Goes to Town" and "Piggy Baby".

"Why!" Duoduo suddenly became angry, "I want to watch it too, but I won't let me watch your new movie." ”

"These two bones, you can only see them when you're 16 years old in ten years. Why do you ask your parents about their decision. ”

During the busy day, Ye Wei interviewed and hired a personal life assistant in the morning, introduced by Ji Ya, she was just a cameo, had her own life, and couldn't be busy. This assistant is not a beautiful and sweet-voiced girl, but a strong and flat-looking young woman like Melissa McCarthy, Darcy Pilkington.

In the afternoon, he went to the West End Wave Year-round Training Ground on the north side of Westwood, which is only a 10-minute drive from home, and he is a regular customer.

This time I was going to interview for a personal soccer coach, and things went well because if you have money, it's no problem.

For an afternoon of busy work, Werner Rhodes, who coached the New York Cosmos for eight seasons, Tom Stanney, a former Premier League youth coach and analyst with 13 years of experience, Dan Jackson, a strength and conditioning coach of the Los Angeles Galaxy, and Noah Rothstein, the head coach of the UCLA men's soccer team, made up his coaching team.

The latter two superstars are working part-time jobs to make quick money, and they make an appointment to come over for guidance, and make a training plan with Werner and Stanny according to his situation.

"Training and ambition, both are equally important. Every player should have short-term and long-term goals, and I can help you achieve all of your goals. Werner said.

"I can train you to be more explosive, more flexible, more stamina, stronger, faster, better!" Dan said.

"My experience will improve your football ability and expertise. Rothstein said.

"You want to play in the Premier League, just look for me!" said Stanley.

All four of them are paid more than $150 an hour, but now that's not a problem, all please!

As a kicker, Ye Wei's feeling is cool, if it is like playing FM, his various statistics have been rising in an all-round way, except for his height.

"Congratulations, you've made it again!" He received a lot of congratulatory text messages that day, the joy and pride of success? The sincerity of the sworn friends is the most gratifying.

In the evening, I went home to Lily's house and picked her up after dinner, and went to AMC Studios in Xitian Century City to watch "Happy Feet". After a month of trouble, the gossip heat of their relationship has dropped, and being low-key and careful can still avoid the paparazzi. couldn't avoid the crying Duoduo, and took her with a soft heart.

Lily has a knack for coaxing children, preparing for Nickelodeon's children's game show. The matter became that the brother and sister competed for favor with her, alas, and lost face.

Sitting in the luxurious small screening room, Ye Wei and Duoduo each sat on Lily's left and right and held her hand, looking at the funny penguins on the big screen, and they all laughed. He ignored the flowers, and thought that the light bulb was just a noisy passerby.

"My brother can't sing!"

......

Swedish Express: Why did you go to the United States to participate in the VIY draft?

Alicica: I dreamed of acting in the world's highest level films, and the VIY audition gave me such an opportunity, and I decided to participate without even thinking about it. At that time, Ye Wei asked a question, "Are penguins in the North Pole or Antarctica?", and I answered Antarctica. Later he told me that he would have liked to hear something like, "In fact, most penguins are in the southern temperate zone." "Where the set is, they are".

Swedish Express: What was the most memorable part of the show?

Alicica: Everything is very memorable, and I learn a lot every day on the set. The most memorable thing is probably that on my 18th birthday, the crew threw a birthday party for me, and picked up my family from Sweden without telling me, which was the biggest surprise of my life so far.

Swedish Express: Does that mean you're going to Hollywood? Will you be acting in Sweden?

Elicica: Sweden is my hometown, and I will always have the opportunity to act in Sweden. Now I want to make more films of artistic value, and I want to work with the best filmmakers in the world, whether it's European, American independent film or Hollywood.

Swedish Express: What do you think of Ye Weihe, who is known as a "film genius"?

Elicica: For me, it's a feeling. I can't say enough about him, just like you can't describe how great the sky makes you feel.

Swedish Express: Do you think you'll be nominated for a Golden Globe and an Oscar this time?

Elicica: I don't know, I want to take it as normal, but yes, I'll be very excited if I get it, maybe cry.

Not only are the media boiling, but the fans are also banging, 100% freshness is set there, and now which film critic wants to give a bad review really has to keep his eyes open, this time it provokes Ye Wei's saliva, I'm afraid no peer will help speak.

Fans are excited, fans are excited, it's always going to be released, and there's another good movie to watch!!

It's on fire! Tell every judge and every follower of the awards season with mushrooming "For-Your-Consideration" PR posts! If you have a DVD to watch the movie, watch the movie "Winter Bone", and if you don't, go and watch it when it's released! Let me tell you, Jennifer Lawrence, Aliciica Vikander, and John Hakes all have god-level performances!

Jennifer Lawrence!! she's only 16 years old, and it's like crazy.

As FilmExperience writes in Oscar Predictions: The New Youngest Best Actress:

[Another Oscar lace explosion.] This time it's about an actress.

Jennifer Lawrence, who is only 16 years old, has left a very deep impression on "Bones of Winter" compiled by Ye Weidao in the past two days. It is a rare work of art in a long time, and has been praised by film critics across the United States. It's only 3 million production costs and there is no huge advertising budget, well done. This Friday it will take us on an adventure in the Ozark Mountains.

When we wondered why Lawrence played this heroine, we didn't expect it to be like this. An actor of her age, working with a bad boy director like Ye Wei, is somewhat suspicious and reasonable. But all the disparagements of her were overturned by her on the screen. We can't pretend she's not the frontrunner at the Oscars right now, it's not humor, new star Lawrence will almost certainly be nominated, and she and Ye Wei will have more and more lace. 】

Lace? Yes, Winter Bones has not yet been released, and Lawrence already has a group of fans, as if waiting for her to descend to earth. And the paparazzi with a keen sense of smell have realized the value of her photos, once she gets the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations, once she and Ye Wei are out in the same frame......

-- AP interview news, "'Winter's Bones' Rising Star Jennifer Lawrence Is Rising":

[Jennifer Lawrence really sensed that she was already a celebrity and began to have paparazzi stalking her.]

Lawrence, 16, has become the city's latest hot spot because he starred in Ye Wei's new movie "Winter's Bones" that hit Los Angeles. When Lawrence approached the hotel with a female friend, the paparazzi appeared.

"My friend asked, 'Who are those people?' and I said, 'Well, I don't know. "And then they started going on a photo frenzy, and my friend ran away, 'No door!' and I was like, 'What? can't be? This can't be me.'" ’”

"I was filmed for maybe a minute, and all of a sudden I heard someone yelling, 'You fucking people, stay away from them!' I didn't even have to look, VIY was coming. She laughed, and Ye Wei, who was next to her, enjoyed his tea without speaking, and said, "I'm very happy to sit here for an interview, it makes me feel like a character." ”

Prior to this, Lawrence was a little-known new actor who had never acted in any film or television productions. Because she participated in Ye Wei's actor talent show at the beginning of this year, she was favored by him and got the opportunity to play the heroine of "Winter Bones". With a fractional budget of $3 million for a Hollywood blockbuster, the film is based on Daniel Woodrell's novel in which a teenage girl in the Ozark Mountains searches for her missing father who is on bail for the fate of her and her family.

"In fact, for us, raising more money to make a bigger film is just a matter of phone calls. Ye Wei, the director, revealed over tea that despite this, he never considered it, and that that could knock Lawrence out of the game, as investors would demand a change to a more box-office appealing actor.

"No one is going to joke around with millions of dollars, including me. Ye Wei invested the 3 million himself, and he said that it was all to make a good movie, "We don't need to make a big movie, we don't need Rui to be a commodity." And only when we are truly independent can we have full production rights. If anyone wants to replace her, it must be something wrong with my own head. ”

It may seem too early to talk about Lawrence's future, but her performance is so compelling, the prospects for the awards season are so bright, and as a teenager, there are countless options that await her. Ye Wei said: "In the past few days, everyone has asked me if we can cooperate with her in the project? I said, 'Yes!' but I don't count, I'm not her mother." ’”

"First of all, a lot of things proved overnight. Lawrence said there had been rumors and suspicions that were unkind to them, "It's right to be like I play my role, our movies are serious, and I'm a funny person." It's like, 'Oh, she's not an idiot. Lawrence joked at himself.

Unfortunately, she recently lost the audition competition for "Juno", which is a project co-produced by Ye Wei. When asked this question, Lawrence suddenly had the standard response: "That's nothing, I just don't fit." It's really nothing, and I don't want to talk about it in front of him. ”

Lawrence, the youngest of three children, grew up on a farm in Kentucky, and she didn't think about becoming an actress until she was fourteen years old and she decided to give herself a chance. "I don't like going to school, and the sooner I get out of that place, the better. I hate being stupider than others, I hate being bullied, I just hate school. Lawrence, who graduated from high school two years early with a straight honors, said. Now it's time for her to think about her own development, and her goal is to mix up both studio and independent films.

"Honestly, acting in a studio movie, getting in and out of a big RV, staying in a good hotel suite, a bigger budget and paying more. I've never tried all these things, I'm curious, and I don't turn down opportunities like that. Lawrence said.

Asked if he had any advice for this rising star, Ye Wei said: "It's good to play anything, I just hope she doesn't become an eye-candy." ”

"I'm never going to leave independent film. No one in the crew talked about money and treatment, there was freedom and passion. We ate junk food, worked like crazy, played desperately without insurance, and willingly were abused by him. But we love each other, because it's not just fame and fortune, it's also the love of movies, and I've only recently figured it out. Lawrence was very impressed, "If he was going to ask me to make a movie again, I might run away without putting on my slippers." ”

Ye Wei smiled and didn't speak, and made another pot of tea. Lawrence added: "They all say what a great actor I am, but without a good director, none of this will work. She knows how much critics love Winter's Bones, and she knows that it could earn her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

"My actual thoughts are... That's an exaggeration, you know?" Lawrence said, "I know how to take my pet to the vet, I know how to go to the dentist." I don't know how to react to people telling me 'you can get an Oscar nomination,' an Oscar? This is something I haven't learned yet. ”】

......

On Tuesday afternoon on the 13th, after school and finishing school, although there was a lot of homework, Lily drove to the West End Spray Training Ground, with Trace.

The special training has already begun, every afternoon from 1 to 5 pm for four hours, fitness, shooting, touching, passing, dribbling, long shots, penalties, corners, free kicks, one-on-one, defending...... He can do other things in the morning, he is really happy, he was interviewed by the media yesterday, and today he went to practice skydiving by himself.

It was almost 5 o'clock, and the sky was setting, so Lily parked her car in the small parking lot and walked with Trist into the huge green training ground fenced with barbed wire. There are also other people and teams who are training, and those who practice shooting have a football goal placed at a distance from each other.

"Where is he?" Trace, looking at the girls around her, "I see his maiden help, I can't see him." ”

The training ground is part of the West End Wave Soccer House, which has 18 women's football teams from 8 to 19 years old...... You know why football is called sissy here.

"There. Lily saw a boy practicing long-range shooting in the distance from the girl's bush, wearing a white jersey and black pants with a red hair banded up and flowing black hair, tall and heroic, and a focused and serious attitude, which made people feel excited.

"See, he's so hot, isn't he?" Trister looked at and sighed, "I can smell him in the air, it makes me it-makes-me-full-of-vigor." ”

Lily was angry but couldn't help chuckling, and said as she walked, "You are not allowed to do this." Trist quipped, "Don't you want me to be alive?" Lily laughed, "Don't you be a nymphomaniac to him." I've got enough vinegar for you to give. Trist laughed, "I can't compare to me, I'm jealous of you now." ”

At this time, Weixin over there cast his eyes like a rhino, and immediately smiled and said a few words to his coach, and ran over.

"Hey!" Lily waved her hand, and when she saw him pointing in a direction, she nodded knowingly, and walked briskly to the deserted southwest sideline. "AHWOW!" she exclaimed to him in a long compliment, "You're so good." ”

Ye Wei nodded rhythmically and panted, "Thank you." "He was sweating profusely, soaking wet, and had a nice smell of boyish sports.

"Training time is almost over, didn't I bother you?" asked Lily. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "No, if you practice any more, your muscles will be strained." She suddenly had an idea, and she also had to work hard for the host's dream! She raised her right hand to hold the microphone for an interview: "Then let's do a small interview, is it okay?"

"OK!" Ye Wei became serious and looked at her face, waiting for her to ask.

She's also going to Nickelodeon to do the job of a reporter at the event, interviewing the guests in attendance, so the practice is beneficial.

"Weige, how do you feel?" Lily looked at him with staring eyes and asked seriously, "We all know that you've been away from the football field for a while, are you still used to it?"

"I'm going to say it's fine. Ye Wei nodded, and replied into the microphone in her hand: "My physical fitness is no problem, but the technique is a little rusty, I am now going to return to the peak as soon as possible, and then see where my ability can go." The coaches said I was very talented, you know, maybe there was something about trying to make me money, but I took it seriously. ”

Lily leaned the microphone to herself and asked, "It's been a pretty amazing decision to go from being a talented filmmaker to working for a professional footballer, especially since you've achieved so much in the field of film." But it looks like you've found your new path. ”

"I don't define it as 'turning'. Ye Wei wiped the sweat from his face, and replied with a sigh of relief: "This is not an either-or choice, it is only about the period of life." I've fulfilled my stage dream in the film field for the last few years, and the part of my mind that belongs to football has a seizure, just like you have to find food when you're hungry. The decision came naturally, and of course my family and girlfriend were crucial to my encouragement. ”

"Hmm. Lily nodded her head again and again, listened to the guests' voices, and said, "You can't leave the movie, but you can't do without football either." He nodded and said "yes," and she asked, "Tomorrow at 5 a.m., the Golden Globe nominees will be announced." You've got two movies that are hits, what do you think about this great moment?"

Ye Wei looked at the sunset in the sky, smiled, and replied, "This is indeed a wonderful moment, I look forward to everything good happening." ”

"For example?" asked Lily with a sweet smile.

"I don't know...... Ye Wei thought with a smile, "It's actually good to be able to share joy or disappointment with important people." ”

The two looked at each other, and they both felt the sweetness born from the soul, and they didn't want to remember last year's awards season, this day was really a lot late, and it finally came.

"Do you have any particular thoughts about which film gets which nomination?" Lily continues to take on the role of reporter on the spot.

"It's a tricky but polite question. Ye Wei said in surprise. Lily whispered, "Yes, I know, answer quickly." He said seriously: "I hope they can all be nominated for Best Picture, because the other nominations may only belong to one person, but it belongs to everyone." ”

Lily nodded, and laughed loudly, "Okay, thank you, Weige, and wish you a dream come true on the football field, and a great harvest during the awards season." ”

Ye Wei said, "Thank you, Lily, thank you." Lily turned around, looked at the imaginary camera lens, and said with a cheerful smile: "This is the live report sent by IA Channel for you!Don't go away, the program will be more exciting later!" Ye Wei leaned over to the camera and grimaced, "You have a great reporter." Lily couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Not far away, Triste looked at the two of them, well, what a couple.

The night has not yet passed, and at 5 o'clock in the morning on Thursday the 14th, the long-awaited list of nominees for the 64th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards will be announced!

Last year's Nick Douglas suicide cast a shadow over the Golden Globes, and this year it has been a smooth ride. At this time, the all-nighter, specially wake-up people watched the NBC channel on the TV screen, the press conference held at the Hilton Hotel, where HFPA President Philip Burke was speaking, and this year the roster was announced by three actors, Matthew Perry, Rosario Dawson and Jessica Bell.

Herman was watching, the Weinstein brothers were watching, and the publicists of competitive films like "Babel" and "The Departed" were watching.

Martin Scorsese, desperate, stayed in front of the TV at home, and Leonardo waited for news while partying in a nightclub. The filmmakers who are expected to be nominated will either watch it with their own eyes, or wait for congratulatory text messages and phone calls, and then say to the media: "I was sleeping at the time, and suddenly I received a call from someone saying that I had been nominated, and it really didn't make people sleep well." ”

There are also many movie fans in the audience, whether Leonardo and Winslet can get together at the Golden Globes, and whether Meryl Streep will add another actress nomination, but the secrets are naturally concerned about whether VIY can be nominated for Best Director for the second year in a row, and what will the girls do in the future?

The media is almost like they want to kill it, and if it praises, analyzes, and predicts for a long time, and finally there is no Golden Globe nomination, it will be a huge blow to its image of winning the award. It hasn't been released yet, or it's at any film festival, so it's going to be a no-brainer.

But Dong Gu obviously didn't plan to take his time, so he seized the hot spot and took advantage of the momentum, and it seems that he has a lot of confidence in the Golden Globe Award.

Ivy Kaufman, Randy Schiller, and Sarah Harley Finn, the three casting directors who have collaborated with Ye Wei on the girl trilogy since the VIY draft, are also watching. The performance of the Girls' Gang will directly mark the draft and affect their careers. This is not only a vital interest, but also a sincere hope for a good outcome.

In retrospect, it is not them who have the most vicious eyes, but Ye Wei, like a country girl who was almost eliminated by Lawrence in the resume level, and now she has become a big dark horse, a big hit, and even the youngest Oscar actress......

How many young actresses are looking at the screen at this moment, with nervous, complicated, envious, jealous, and blessed moods?

"Let's get up and see!" Emma scrambled to get out of bed, picked up Triggie, and called Strandger to watch with her.

"The finalists for Best Score are: On the screen, Jessica Bell, dressed in a gray and brown sleeveless professional dress, is standing in front of the glass podium, dignified and sexy, she looks at the list of letterheads in her hand, and reads into the microphone at an even speed: "

Babel, Gustavo Sandolara

The Da Vinci Code, Hans Zimmer

"The Fountain of Love," Clint Mansell

"Lovely Bones," Jenn Kezmelik

The Veil, Alexander Displatt
