Kevin Thomas posted the $500,000 or 1 in compensation before Wednesday evening. In order to preserve his reputation, the liar was unwilling to do so.

The company has had these changes, and the three theaters have been released into one. The other five limited partners are not sure of it, but they cannot know the truth for the time being, otherwise they will mess up everything. They only know that Kevin Thomas was fired because of his negligence in the release of the film and that the company will be fine.

On Thursday, it was another day before the release of "The Wedding Day is Coming".

Ye Wei continued to get up early in the morning to go to school, but today he brought some things to the school to prepare for work, the latest version of "Hollywood Creative Industry Guide"!

"The Guide to the Hollywood Creative Industry" is an important reference for anyone in the film industry. It is not a journal. It is updated three times a year and lists all projects that each Hollywood filmmaker and producer have been and are currently working on, including "The Wedding Day is Coming".

This guide has too many uses. Whether it is producers setting up projects, screenwriters investing in scripts, actors looking for plays, selecting scenes... they can find the market conditions they need.

This was bought by him specifically at the movie bookstore after school yesterday. He also bought the latest "Variety Daily", "Behind the Scenes", "Filmmakers' Special Issue", etc. These industry information is like a desert buried with gold, and he wants to dig out some valuable raw stones from it.

Today is the event day of the Dream Chasing League Club, but at 9:25, Ye Wei did not go to the maid room of the Academic Center at the event, and sent a text message to Lev and others, "I have other things to do today, so don't come to me."

He held a large bag of magazines and sat in a quiet corner under the shade of the campus, ignoring the students walking and laughing in the distance, and started to read them seriously.

Last night, Ye Wei had already watched some of them, but all the projects were as numerous as the stars in the sky, from mainstream film manufacturers, mini mainstream, independent film companies...

Hundreds and thousands of projects are in progress, some are still in the planning stage, some are in the early preparation, some are in the shooting, post-production, and distribution promotion...

Some projects have a cost of only tens of thousands, while others are as high as the sky. For example, the production budget of "Spider-Man 2" in the post-production is $200,000,000,000, 200 million US dollars! It is just a production fee, not including the costs of distribution, promotion, etc.

With 200 million US dollars, a luxurious high-rise building can be built on flat ground anywhere in the world, or it can be made into a two-hour Hollywood blockbuster. This is the film industry.

Ye Wei looked at this guide and couldn't help but sigh that among these projects, how many will end up in a mess, and how many will perform miracles? Which one will lose and which one will make a profit?

"The primitive tribe respects storytellers, but if his story is not told well, they will kill him and eat it for dinner."

This is a famous quote from Hollywood, the motto of many filmmakers, and the reason why reputation is important. The film industry is really full of unknowns.

No one knows the future, only the past.

The reputation here does not refer to the morality of private life. As long as you are valuable, no film company will care whether you are a drug dealer or a pervert who peeps at the old lady for bathing; it refers to professionalism, money-making ability, and what impact your behavior will have on the movie itself.

Filmmakers are not lawyers or athletes, and their condition will fluctuate. Being powerful does not mean they will always do it, and falling once does not mean they will not be able to stand up.

So there is an unknown "strike-out" rule in the industry: producer, director, starring, screenwriter, whoever fails three times in a row will be eliminated.

No matter what the reason behind the failure is, no one cares, the industry will only recognize one thing: "Now you are a bad guy, whoever is involved in your bad luck will die."

This rule is particularly strict for foreign filmmakers and those on the edge of the industry.

A series of successes like John Woo, "Face Change" and "Mission Impossible 2" have made him win both fame and fortune in Hollywood, and he has no worries about not having a new film. But with the two failures of "The Whisperer" and "Bulletproof Monk", he has stood on the edge of a cliff. If "The Memory Rift" released next month is screwed up again...strike out.

It is a thousand times more difficult and ten thousand times more difficult than a newcomer who is traveling to Hollywood.

And Ang Lee, the Hulk Hulk, released today, suffered a crushing defeat for the first time.

Ye Wei didn't know what their future would be like. Only his own experience was clear. However, he had a feeling that Ang Lee would stand up again, and it would definitely be like this. Commercial films are like a bitch, but art films respect their skills. Ang Lee's literary skills are there. As long as you make art films, they will be fine.

Even the situation of the Chinese director he cared about the most was vague, and the rest were better, so Ye Wei turned pages of magazines and found it difficult to have much clear information.

He wanted to find a project that was intentionally given up but was actually very good. He relied on his professional judgment and clues in his dreams. But so far, he has not found anything that is particularly focused. If you look more interesting, just circle it and mark it for easier contact in the future...

...

"Hahaha!"

"Guys, look at what this is, oh yeah, I'm going to blow it up-"

At the same time, the first floor of the Academic Center was bursting with crazy laughter, TV and conversation...

In the corridor outside, Lily Collins frowned and raised his hand that was about to knock on the door but couldn't knock.

It's really terrible! This is the thing. After yesterday's Cuttlefish Operation, she found that the braided bracelet she was wearing was gone! It was given to her by her father. It was just a worthless bracelet for others, but it has very important significance to her.

She was very anxious, but after searching, she couldn't find it. In the end, there was only one possibility: the bracelet was lost in the cuttlefish operation.

So she called Triste, Babu and others to ask, and even the two supervisors asked, but everyone said they didn't meet. There was only one person left in the team yesterday...

Babu wanted to give her the person's mobile phone number, but she refused. She had to tell the person in person to confirm whether what he said was true or false. Yes, she didn't trust him.

Some people say that he can be found here because today is the activity day of his club, "Dream Chasing Alliance", which sounds so nice. Who doesn't know that it is a place of freaks... The activity places of other clubs are usually in the classrooms of the academic center, Reynolds Hall, remote places, libraries, theaters, etc. How could normal people go to the warehousing room...

Lily lingered for a few steps and took a few breaths, just like several monsters were closed in the room. If you accidentally open this door, it would cause evil consequences to destroy the world.

I'm so reluctant! But what can I do? She finally knocked on the door, "HELLO?"

"Come here, come--"

It was not Ye Wei's voice. When the door opened, it was not him. He was a big nose boy with a weird costume and a beard. When he saw her, he screamed: "Ah!!!"

Lily felt her ear pain and couldn't help but take a step back, wonderingly: "Are you okay?"

"Oh my god! I'm right, I'm so right!" The boy shouted wildly, looked back and screamed again: "She's here, Lily Collins!!!"

"Um...um..."

Lily felt speechless and looked into the room to look for Ye Wei's figure. The part of the storage room near the door was cleared out, with sofas, TVs and other items placed, like the lobby of the home. In addition to the madman at the door, there were three boys inside, without Ye Wei.

"Hello, hello, I'm Lev, that's Bad, Noah, Kolwin... Oh my god, Brother Wei, Brother Wei, where are you!?" Lev shouted wildly.

Bud was sitting on the sofa holding a large bucket of popcorn, watching "Friends" broadcast on TV. When there was no special event, this was his entertainment. He watched an episode of "Friends" DVD. At this time, he looked at the door, his mouth was filled with popcorn.

The small Chinese boy sitting next to the coffee table is Chen Nuo, or Noah Chen. He is wearing a pair of thick black-framed glasses and is playing "Dungeons and Dragons" alone. There are maps and cards on the coffee table. At this time, his face is dull, and the 12 dice in his hand falls down...

And in the corner, a pale white boy was hiding there, almost getting into the pile of debris. He was looking at a book called National Geographic, glanced at the door, immediately withdrew his gaze and continued to read... Colwin Letter, a guy with mild autism.

"Wei, Brother Wei!!!"

"But I didn't come today." It was Colwin who spoke calmly.

"Uh...yes." Lev scratched his red nose. Suddenly, he noticed that Lily Collins looked at him and remembered that he was playing with a condom... and quickly stuffed it back into his pocket, and he laughed dryly...

They are all annoying! Looking at these, Lily muttered in her heart, she didn't want to stay for a second, the annoying cool kids and the annoying freaks were both annoying...

But she also had doubts, how could Ye Wei play with them?

It's so strange. If he wants to be a sensational figure in the school and is entangled by some brainless girls all day long, then he shouldn't do this. One fact is, whoever plays with a freak is defined by others as a freak, no popularity, no friends, no girlfriend... don't he know? He is a fool?

She was a little disappointed when she heard them and still took a very reluctant step: "Can you give me his mobile phone number? I have something to do with him."

Sure enough... It was indeed as I expected! Lev nodded frantically, and the more he looked at the other person, the more nervous he became. This was Lily Collins, the beautiful daughter of the rock superstar! God! His words became stuttering: "Of course, of course! We know the matter of Brother Wei best..."

"Yes! Yes!" Bud swallowed his mouth full of popcorn with difficulty.

"He is now about 170cm tall and is more than 140 pounds. His birthday is February 19, Pisces, so he is romantic and has a very artistic atmosphere; his blood type is AB type, cool; and, he knows several languages, is proficient in English and Chinese, and knows a little Spanish, French, Polish, and the common language of "Dungeons and Dragons"..."

Bud whispered loudly: "Also, he lives in Brentwood. He likes Chinese food the most, but not fried food. There are many special things, all of which are taught by his grandfather. Wei Hao admires his grandfather. His grandfather is a veteran of World War II in China! Unfortunately, the old man passed away a few years ago... Wei Hao is so sad."

"I'm going to say! Bud, let me say!" Lev was anxious, turned his head and roared at his companion, not noticing that Lily was stunned for a long time, and quickly became like a machine gun: "Monroe and Hepburn, he likes Hepburn! Of course, he is also interested in Monroe, as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman...but his interests are very wide!"

Chen Nuo said dazedly: "Yes, but his reading hobby is also. He can read all kinds of books..."

"By the way, he wears M-size clothes, and he likes the style of underwear...!" Bud said, thinking...

"Stop!!!" Lily had to scream, the whole audience was silent, she felt like she was going crazy and laughed and cried: "I just wanted to get his mobile number..."

Lev and Bad both looked knowingly, and Lev smiled and said, "I understand, I understand, go step by step. OK, Noah, give me paper and pen!"

Chen Nuo acted quickly. When Lev took the paper and pen, he looked at his cell phone and wrote: "This is Wei's mobile phone number, this is his home phone number, this is his email, this is his MSN number, this is his..."

"Thank you, thank you..." Lily saw that the mobile phone number was already on the paper, so she reached out to snatch it, "It's enough, thank you! Goodbye!"

After saying that, she hurriedly left, four weirdos! No, five!

It took a while before the movement in the custody room resumed.

"Wow..." Lev's eyes widened yet, and he said with a tsk: "The game is about to go to 16 years old, and Brother Wei is finally going to score!"

Bud smiled happily: "She is still so beautiful, I really admire Brother Wei." Chen Nuo sighed in a daze: "Like an elf girl." Colwin, who had been reading books all the time, suddenly said again: "Her British accent, Wei will like her."
