Chapter 537: Cover Character

"Winter's Bones" is a movie without a leading actor, "Uncle Tears" is the number one supporting actor, and there were many actors who were interested in starring and participating in auditions at that time, and in the end John Hakes beat Robert Downey Jr. and others to win the role.

The 47-year-old John Harkes is not a star, an actor who has been around for years, and this is already one of the biggest roles he has ever played. In the 1988 romantic comedy "Johnny the Good Man", Downey played the male number two, and Hax was just a "pizza boy" with no name, and now everyone really has a future.

Ye Wei doesn't dislike Donnie's performance, and tears are also a type of role he is good at, but Hax is more suitable, and he is not a big name that needs to be taken care of. Harkes' poised performance didn't make him regret his choice, and it looked perfect.

After returning from Los Angeles, he devoted himself to filming W'sB without asking about foreign affairs, working from early morning to evening every day, with the only day off to cooperate with TLB's publicity.

During this time, W'sB officially surpassed TET to become the hardest movie he made, his mental and physical strength were exhausted, and he almost fell into the river during the sawing scene. And in the matter of how to torture Jennifer, he became more and more tense, people's hearts are made of flesh, and he didn't feel good when he scolded her and beat her.

Jennifer is also physically and mentally tired, and she is enough to put on makeup for three hours before the show starts every day. From the scene where Rui was beaten to the end of the script, the story time was only a few days, so her makeup changed very little, her face was purple and swollen, her nose and mouth were slightly cleaned up, and she was still a bird.

The actor waited a lot on the set, and once he saw her sitting on the actor's chair as if she was asleep, and walked to her face and threw a false punch in the face, but she didn't react, and slept like she was dead. He woke her up with a loud yell, and she fell to the ground screaming and jumping in fright, looking at him condescendingly.

At that moment, her eyes seemed to say, "Why are you doing this to me?"

Since then, he has been a little unbearable.

This oppressive atmosphere enveloped the crew, and the rhythm of working six days a week and overtime every day was too tiring, and everyone was looking forward to the finale, but after all, it was not until Tuesday the 31st. The main reason is that the weather forecast will be cloudy and cloudy on the day, which is the best day to shoot the ending scene in the days of the end of the month.

It was only finished on the afternoon of the 31st, even if I caught the evening flight back to Los Angeles and settled down at home, it was November 1st, and I couldn't catch up with Halloween.

Ye Wei decided to stay in Springfield and go back with the crew after Halloween, of course, including the actors and many other personnel, will disperse. Alicia went back to Sweden, and Jennifer went back to Los Angeles because their family had moved to Los Angeles for the sake of her acting career.

He knew that Lily had been looking forward to their first love Halloween, and when he told her the latest news, she really said in a rather sorry tone: "I can't help the weather, so let's save it for next year." Now I miss London so much. He said, "I miss you." Lily booed, "Don't say that word." He laughed and said, "Yes, Miss Collins." ”

None of them think that "stay until next year" is a big deal, and if they have to say a few more words in ten years, they will definitely be together next year.

Halloween is not a big day, Ye Wei thinks that he wants to play in Springfield a little more, if he is dating in Los Angeles, he can't show up in public, it's inconvenient to go anywhere to play, if two people hide and play, it's no different from usual.

The crew worked hard for a month, and everyone deserved a merry Halloween party.

When the time comes, he will pretend to be a squirrel, shout loudly, laugh loudly, and detonate the audience with a squirrel dance.

......

Paramount's revenue this year is just average, and the current best-performing animated film "Beyond the Fence" (5-19) is only 155 million North American box office, and the only movies that have not yet been released have the potential to break 100 million yuan is next week's "Rat Country Wandering", next week's TLB, and "Charlotte's Web" in the Christmas file.

TLB has greater expectations, and the investment in publicity and distribution is also large, and the opening will reach 3,205 theaters, which was previously the level of the commercial comedy "Lai Jia Wang Lao Wu" (3-10, 88 million in North America). This is definitely the confidence that TLB gave Paramount in the research test screening, and it is very bad or very uncertain that there are probably only 2,500 openings, which makes fans look forward to it even more.

There have long been rumors on the Internet, some viewers/propagandists who are "lucky enough to have a sneak peek but no spoilers", this is "the most tear-jerking movie of the year", "it will burn a lifelong imprint on the hearts of every audience", "indescribable touch", "Ye Wei's best movie so far"......

I don't know if it's the best, but TLB is undoubtedly the highlight of Ye Wei's trilogy this year: the adaptation of a super bestseller, the highest budget of 25 million, the largest momentum, the distribution of mainstream studios, six of the ten future girls belong to TLB, and a luxury cast composed of stars and himself.

Ye Wei is one of the main players in the promotion of the film, and the other is Elizabeth Olsen.

Recently, there is a new situation in the scandal between the two, they were photographed in and out of a restaurant in Springfield, but there were several people such as Gia Coppola. It turned out that this was a dinner party for the two after taking a cover photo for PARADE magazine on Thursday the 26th and doing an exclusive interview.

Everyone came to Springfield to accommodate Ye Wei, but Grand View is one of the most widely read Sunday weekly magazines in the United States, with 32 million sales and 54 million readers. "Entertainment Weekly" is good, but it is not a big star from all walks of life in the United States but will not appear in "Grand View", not one of the articles or interviews, but a cover interview.

Emma Roberts has had 11 magazine covers such as Seventeen, Teen, and Teen-Vogue in the past two years, and has not appeared in "Grand View". The two young female stars, Scarlett Johansson (19, 2003-12-7) and Amy Rosen (18, 2004-10-19), have only one interview with the same column "In-Step-With", and they are not enough to be on the cover. Natalie Portman didn't have until she was 23 years old (2004-11-28) to have a cover interview "Every Little Good Help".

Ye Wei is also on the cover of "Grand View" for the first time, and on his 18th birthday (2006-2-19), there was an article reporting "Brilliant 18 Years Old: Ye Wei", and this time the cover will also benefit from the momentum of SS and the publicity of TLB.

According to insiders revealed to Yahoo Entertainment that it was originally just Ye Wei's cover, and he didn't want to be on it because he was busy filming, and absurdly wanted to give up the opportunity to Elizabeth Olsen. But "Grand View" was not interested in Olsen Jr., she was not qualified enough, and later the agents of both sides proposed a plan for a double cover interview, which was agreed by all parties.

It's one thing for Ye Wei to be generous, little Olsen dares to be on the cover in a light-rubbing way, it's really courageous, she is the sister of the Olsen sisters, and if she is not good, she will be criticized for nepotism. It is especially important who will interview and write the script, and the famous journalist Jenny Wall gave everyone the confidence that "the film genius and his heroine".

This issue of "Grand View" was released on Sunday, October 29th, the cover photo is a sky blue background, Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen stand left and right, fashionable and handsome clothes, she raised her arm against his shoulder, both with a youthful and sunny smile, a pair of beautiful young people.

Through the interview articles, every magazine reader saw that the two were full of tacit understanding, their words were full of personality and fun, and they were really good friends even if they were not in love.

In the spacious and bright living room, Lily looked at the "Grand View" in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, she should be happy, but why is she so depressed.

[Although they were both born and raised in Los Angeles, 18-year-old Ye Wei and 17-year-old Elizabeth Olsen had very different childhoods, and the same thing is the connection to movies.

"My dentist dad, who is a huge fan, gave each of my teeth a name, and it was all actors he liked. I used to bite with 'Jack Nicholson,' you can imagine that, but what about me with 'Meryl Streep'?" said the already world-renowned film genius.

"At the time, I didn't know what a movie was, I thought it was a home video. Olson said.

She is best known as the sister of the Olsen sisters, who has been making cameo appearances in many of her sisters' video movies since she was 4 years old, and the first starring film of the always forgotten little sister "Lovely Bones" will be released on November 10, a young girl who was unfortunately raped and killed by the evil serial killer (Stanley Tucci) watched her death in heaven to watch the changes of her father (Keanu Reeves), mother (Rachel Weisz), grandmother (Susan Sarandon), boyfriend (Ye Wei) and others.

This fantasy family film based on the best-selling book by Alice Siebold is another masterpiece of Ye Wei this year, and he is also a producer, screenwriter and director, he said: "Liz is extremely talented, but at first I thought she was the kind of spoiled daughter, and then I found out on the set, how can there be, this guy is very easy to call, and super funny." ”

Being talented and funny is what they say most about each other, and Olson laughs: "When it comes to being funny, I'm willing to bow down to him." There's a lot more to him that's amazing, I rarely look up to a person, but I really look up to him, I think he's a true independent filmmaker. ”

Ye Wei also has a lot of opinions about her: "Liz's biggest problem is that she is too smart, she is a little too smart, so smart that she is lazy in thinking." The second problem is that she's so reckless, she's like, 'I've thought about it, I'm going to do this!' and she only thinks for a second. Because she's smart, usually a second of thinking can make her feel like a fish in water, but almost all of the time, she's doing it spontaneously. Some people think a lot, some think very little, she thinks too fast, is it an advantage and a disadvantage. ”

"Okay. Olson said, shrugged her shoulders and continued, "I just think that in life, you can only control a little bit of what you do, so whatever you can't control, you don't have to worry about it at all." Ye Wei said: "It's like weight." ”

Olson called her an anti-dieter, and two years ago her sister Mary's anorexia plague made her stand firm about it, saying, "If I die and can live without hunger, then I'll die." Ye Wei said: "Very good philosophy of life. Although he joked again and again that she was particularly good at eating, he also said that he was resolutely anti-dieting: "Our concept of life has been distorted by superficial fashion rulers. Sometimes you have to be temperate in order to work, but you must not slim yourself down to a rattan for the sake of pursuing a model body, which is neither beautiful nor healthy. Health comes first. ”

"Ever since I was 7 years old, I've been asked all the time when you're going to grow up and what you're going to do when you're older. Olson said. Actress and model, she refused to enter the TV screen, went to Broadway to develop, and then set the goal of the big screen, she is still looking for her place. "I've thought about it, I've already been in theater and film," she said. The difference is that there are seasons for theater, movies are always happening, and I go to see independent films almost every week, and that's really exciting for me. ”

In fact, her favorite movie is not an independent film, but "Alien". Ye Wei said. When it comes to this 1990 thriller comedy, they all seem to have endless words, and similar interests and hobbies have made their friendship. "We joke about it a lot," she said. He said, "Not including this, what I'm eating, she'll suddenly come out and try to snatch it, all I can do is try to keep it." She said, "He said the opposite." ”

Unlike their friendship, in "Lovely Bones" they play a bitter first love couple, and they will also give their first on-screen kiss.

"I have to say that Liz is really good, she is very studious, and it makes my job quite smooth. Except for a few times when she suddenly malfunctioned like her head had been eaten, and I couldn't help but think, 'Am I crazy, there is a chance that there will be no more stars in her family.' Ye Wei said. He likes to show his love for Olsen with jokes, and since watching her perform at an actor promotion party he held earlier this year, he has regarded her as one of the most successful actresses of the future. "Liz is an acting genius," he said. ”

"His acting talent has been overlooked, and it's okay for you to say he's an acting genius and really drives your performance," Olsen said. Maybe it's because he's more narcissistic than me, and you have to be narcissistic to make a good movie, and a lot of the time it's just you nagging at the camera. The stage of filming a green screen scene is even crazier, not only is he acting alone, there is no scene, and he is like a madman doing everything. Ye Wei said: "Indeed, once we don't devote ourselves wholeheartedly, we will be completely out of the play." Several times, we laughed when we looked at the monitor. ”

"Imagination is also crucial, and sometimes we can't really come up with a description of him, but luckily he will draw it for you, and it will look like the real thing. So I advised him, 'Don't talk about it in the future, just paint it.'" He immediately drew a hamburger and I said, 'You might as well tell it.' ’......】

Without continuing to read, Lily closed the book and put it on the sofa, got up and walked.

After taking a few steps, she glanced back, turned back and turned the magazine upside up, covering the cover.

After just a few more steps, she turned back again, flipping back to the cover face up.
