Chapter 494 I want to reason with her(1/2)

"Give me 'Gal', I'll give you those. ╞┞➞Or."

Amber seemed to have tried his best, with a sense of madness in his eyes, and his body trembled a little because of excitement or tension. It was very strange in the roadside wasteland under the night sky.

What a joke, of course not! Ye Wei took a deep breath. It must be Elicica. There is no other candidate. She worked so hard and excellent. You really can't compare to Amber. But... what to do with those photos? You must not let Lily see... It's not now...

A slightly choked voice sounded, "Just don't destroy these again." The more confused my heart was, the past had passed, and my remaining troubles were not hers. I shouldn't let her confront their love. No, absolutely not.

A clear fear surged up, fearing to lose her again.

But it is impossible to give Amber the role, he is unwilling, and the consequences are equally unimaginable.

Ye Wei shook his head suddenly and calmed down! Things weren't that bad, I could handle it...

"Brother Wei, I just want a chance." Amber said again when he saw him hesitating, and his words were fanatical: "I am no worse than others, I just haven't had a good chance. Can you give it to me!"

"Wait." Ye Wei turned around and walked towards the other side of the road, feeling that he was trapped in a vortex of thinking, and he could do it as long as he pulled out. The key is... don't think about Lily! Don't let her emotions disturb her, and a simple solution is done.

Amber followed closely: "Don't just leave me here and it's done." He raised his hand and said, "No, I'll go and have a drink of water! Is it okay to be a little thirsty?" He strode straight to the side of the car, and Jiya, who wrapped her arms around her chest, asked, "How is it?"

Jiya couldn't hear what the two talked about, and the yelling words became distorted in the wind, but she could see that the two did not do anything. Because Ye Wei kept dodging, they did not have any physical contact; she could guess that the situation was not good, and just look at Viy's angry look.

"Jia, slap me." Ye Wei pointed to his right face, "Give it a lot of force."

"Ah?" Jiya was stunned, and Ye Wei urged, "Just hit you! Don't ask why, don't say you can't do it." Jiya hesitated, "I love peace." Ye Wei ordered, "This is my request for your assistant job! It's OK now." Jiya suddenly slapped her with her left hand like a machine moving, like a machine moving, and suddenly slapped her with her left hand

There was a shadow sucking in his palm. In the flash of lightning, Ye Wei felt that he had captured the complete calmness of that moment.

Don't think about that girl. Without her, Amber could use his family as a threat target, or just use himself as a self-righteous person, "Ye Wei, you don't want to make a fool of yourself, either you make a fool of yourself or give me a role." Thinking about it this way, things would be too simple.

What is Amber's idea? She won't be willing to be a reality show star. This guy is just a stimulus and gives herself confidence to be crazy. The more she wants to be a screen superstar, she is so easy to be defeated.

Amber, what were you doing when you were 15 years old and 9 months old? Stealing forbidden fruit in a Texas farm warehouse with your ex-boyfriend?

And I, I made a scam producer cry, crowdfunded the movie scripts in school, lobbying Bruce Willis to give me a chance and it was considered successful, almost earning 150,000 yuan. Since becoming a "big man", I haven't tried my best to lobby for a long time, so I'll taste your pudding.

Just as Jiya slapped her hand, Ye Wei suddenly avoided her sideways, and was confused.

"What are you doing!" Jiya slapped her in the face, a little surprised and dissatisfied.

He showed a bad smile and said in the voice of a black warrior: "I am your father."

Jiya's expression changed slightly, "Please."

"Oh sorry!" Ye Wei suddenly remembered that Jiya's father died of an accident before she was born, and immediately apologized sincerely: "Jia, I'm sorry! You know I have no malice, I'm just a "Star Wars" joke."

Gia shrugged and expressed her disregard for Master Yoda's words: "Fear is the road to darkness. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, and hatred causes pain." She looked at Amber in the distance and said, "Anakin, so don't be afraid first."

"Thank you, Master, may the Force be with you." Ye Wei strode towards Amber, "I want to reason with her."

Amber watched Ye Wei approaching in the distance, and the cold wind blew, she woke up a little, but became even more angry. Wouldn't it be better to give me "Clarisa"?... She starred in Viy's movie and became a big star. This just nodded to him, but her dream came true.

But in just a few minutes, she strangely saw that Ye Wei seemed different. His gentle smile made her increasingly unable to understand his thoughts.

"Hey, Amber.w [ww." Ye Wei said hello and looked around the night in the countryside. The night wind blew the autumn grass. He asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen Ang Lee's "Hit with the Devil"? It was filmed in Suzhou, Mili." Amber was stunned and replied: "No."

He looked at her and introduced, "It was a good movie with the theme of Civil War, but only a barely qualified review reputation. Many critics and audiences said it was a bad movie." He recalled, "Roger Albert's comments are very representative. Roger said that this movie is inspiring to explore the truth of history, but for ordinary audiences, it is slow and intimidating. What does it mean?"

Amber was surprised, why did he talk about this?

Ye Wei smiled and said with a question and answer: "That is to say, ordinary audiences cannot appreciate this two and a half hour literary war film, but "Gone with the Wind" has been nearly 4 hours, and they are different. "Historing with the Devil" is very politically incorrect.

History is written by the victors. Almost all Civil War movies say how stubborn, conservative and backward the southerners are looking forward to trying to liberation; while how justice, advanced, freedom and great the northerners are, this is a war on human rights, while southerners fight to defend their country or protect their interests and lifestyles. From the perspective of the southerners, "Gone with the Wind" cannot jump out of this category, talking about the changes of the times, the collision of new and old civilizations, and the attachment, nostalgia and protection of the old civilizations.

But what about the truth?”

"I don't know..." Amber didn't understand what Ye Wei wanted to say, "I don't care."

"The truth is not only Yankees. At that time, many southerners also saw that the new era without slaves was coming unstoppable. They were not all arrogant fools, nor were they all cruel and cold-blooded villains. The truth was that many black slaves were willing at that time, fighting for the South even more fiercely than slave owners. They were also confused, but they didn't want to lose. To a certain extent, they could also say that they didn't want to change. There is also a truth, that was not a war on human rights. Lincoln and Yankees were not so kind. Do you know that black people in the north actually live more miserable than black people in the south? Like all wars in the United States, the words of justice are just a nice coat, but they actually lie in interests."

Ye Wei was so excited, but Amber became more confused as he heard it: "Brother Wei, I don't care about politics..."

He continued: "Why don't you change the southern genius who sees the unstoppable trend of the times in front of slaves? This is a very complex and entangled human nature. From the original work to the movie "Historing with the Devil", these things are a very embarrassing and contradictory group psychology.

Even though we knew that the Yankees said would win, we would definitely lose this war, but we still have to fight this war. Why? Because we were unwilling to give up. Why didn’t we accept it? I don’t know. After the Civil War, it was fought for the sake of fighting, and neither side had any reason to say. Of course, in the end, the Confederacy lost, the war was over, and all the black slaves were rescued, is that good? Martin Luther King said no. At that time, many black people still regarded themselves as slaves and hated Yankees. You can see this in "Gone with the Wind". Why?

First, because the northerners are just another group of bastards; second, their own psychological shackles are still there, their hearts are not liberated, and their ideas are just like that."

Ye Wei looked at the confused Amber and smiled and said, "No American dares to shoot the Civil War like this and dare to tell these truths. This is terrible, right? We have taught us the 'correct history' since elementary school. The whole country said that it is not the case. Southerners also have forward-looking vision and kindness? Lincoln is not that great? A large number of black slaves do not want to be liberated?

Everyone will scold you, nonsense!

But Ang Lee! This foreign old boy dares to shoot, he dares to touch this bad luck, and tell the Americans 'Hey, everyone, this is the truth.'"

"What then?" Ye Wei's words gradually rose, and they were as if they were beating a drum: "Historing with the Devil", this masterpiece made by Ang Lee, this gentle rhythm but shocking literary war film, this good movie, I remember that it was a budget of nearly 40000, less than 100000 yuan, and more than 6000 yuan.

This is what Albert said, ‘Ordinary audiences will be afraid of it’. This is what ordinary audiences do. They don’t like to watch it, and they step on it and say it’s a bad movie. Ang Lee almost ruined everything about himself because of this movie, and went back to Asia to shoot Chinese films, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.”

"I don't care, Brother Wei..." Amber's thoughts were messy, "I don't want to take history class, don't talk about the topic, I want to play 'Gal'!"

"No, no, no, this has a direct relationship with you." Ye Wei smiled at her and half raised his hands, "Because "Historing with the Devil" and "Bone of Winter" are both books written by Daniel Woodrier. His works have a major characteristic, and he dares to say some mainstream things that he doesn't like to hear. You want to play "Gal", have you read this book?"

Amber nodded, "I've read it a few times."

"But I dare say you didn't understand it, and you didn't know what kind of movie I was going to make, so you thought 'Gal' would make you a star."

Ye Wei looked straight into Amber's blank eyes and raised his index finger with his right hand, "I'll tell you, 'Sb has three main propositions: the awakening of feminism, the balance between feminism and patriarchal rights, and the fragility of feminism in the present reality. ╡╡┞.〔〔『.c?o{m

Do you know, if you want to be pleasing, then you just focus on the first topic to shoot, the awakening of feminism. Simplify the characters and stories, harden and cool the 'Rui', and shoot in a way that both the critics and ordinary audiences love to watch, and have the ability to appreciate and understand, to please feminism. As long as you shoot the tough and cool feminism all the way."

He frowned and thought, "I'll give you an example, where Rui was beaten violently. In the original work, Rui was beaten to incontinence by those women and almost died. She pitifully begged those people to let her go and save her family. This is the fragility of feminism in reality. Rui is very strong, but being beaten by a bunch of women who succumb to patriarchy, if you can beat you to death, no feminism is useful.

But is it going to be filmed like this when it is made? That's too embarrassing and makes it harder for ordinary audiences to understand, 'Director! Isn't this a story of feminist awakening? Why is Rui so embarrassed? This is a little pitiful! Where is the momentum of "The End of the Way"?'"

"How should I tell you to please women?" Ye Wei paused, and bent his right arm like Popeye: "Just make Rui completely masculine and powerful, without incontinence or begging. She was about to die like the last two cowboys in "The Tiger and Leopard Boy", and she sat there calmly, looking at the bad guys with contempt, and said in a light tone, 'Is there any? Use it all, I'm in a hurry to go to the Oscars.' How cool it would be!"

"Brother Wei..." Amber didn't know what to say until the "Oscar" made her heart slam.

Ye Wei laughed a few times and said, "Is that really a girl? Is it really a person? No! That is just a fantasy product under politically correct feminism. To put it bluntly, it is a product of a girl in the name of being actually a tough guy. What does this mean?"

"I don't want to "Rui", I just want to play "Gaill". "Amber suddenly felt a little excited, feeling that Ye Wei was confusing her.

"Listen to me first." Ye Wei called her and said very seriously: "I want to take a complete picture of this story. I want to take a picture of the process of Rui from bent down to kneeling down, and then standing up, rather than standing from beginning to end.

Yes, Rui would be beaten to incontinence and lie in his own excrement and begged those people to let her go. It was even worse than pigs and dogs, just a small tiny dot. Do you know, this is equivalent to a slap of feminism. Extreme feminists will definitely scold me, but I don't care. The video is still a feminist awakening, just saying more words like the emperor's new clothes.

A story like "Bone of Winter" will be such a movie. Although I am confident that I can make it well within the scope of appreciation of the critics, but ordinary audiences?" He said and laughed, laughing: "My box office expectations for it are 50,000 North American."

50,000? Amber was stunned. Viy's movie average box office in North America exceeded 100 million. Why is this movie worth 50,000?

Seeing her face change, Ye Wei knew she knew what that meant and said, "Amber, to be honest, even if you play 'Gal' first, it's impossible for you to become a star. 'Gal' is just a supporting role."

Amber was like being stabbed by a foreshadowing, and said shrillly: "I believe that with your talent, "Winter's Bones" can have its place in the awards season. No matter how much the box office is, it can make me recognized by the industry and get more opportunities. You don't have to lie to me."

"You are right, but there is a premise." Ye Wei approached her and stared at her, "The premise is that it is a good movie! My talent has a core called professionalism, ** spirit, and the principle of filmmakers. Casting is a very important part of film production. Even if my girl wants to play Gael, I will not agree to her if I break up with me."

His eyes became sharper and his tone became heavier: "It can only be played by Elicica Vikander! I will not change anyone who threatens me. If you can't do it, no one can do it. How do you think I become a movie genius? You can get roles from me with your sex? What am I shooting? Do you want to be a human movie? What I want is not bed skills, but acting skills!"

Amber couldn't help but take a step back, staring at the tall man in front of him, the genius viy... This was the first time she had heard what he said just now.

"How could you understand!" Ye Wei waved his hands excitedly, "I'm not looking down on you, I mean you are not a creator. This is a mood that only by devoted yourself to your work and being a good creator of every detail. Do you know that the last shot of "Riding with the Devil" was in order to take that big vision shot, Ang Lee and his team drove a day from Missouri to western Kansas to shoot, just to shoot a prairie sunrise."

He looked around, his hands from spreading his palms to clenching his fists: "Why can't you take pictures in Missouri? There are differences in it. Even if you seem to be very subtle, it is huge for the creator; the mood after completing the creative pursuit, the satisfaction, joy, and beauty, because you can smile foolishly for a day in one detail! How can you understand it?

We are not just making movies, we are making a work of art!

Now you want me to let you play 'Gal'? If you kill me, I will not agree to you!"

"Brother Wei..." Amber was afraid to look at his eyes, his heart was so beating so hard that his heart was blank, "Then do you think of those photos..."

"Haha!" Ye Wei laughed, shook his head and said, "You are really interesting. Are you involved in this industry on the first day? I will tell you some substantial constraints. I suddenly changed my role, and it was changed to you, Amber Hilder, what will the media say?

If you can do it, that's another matter, but we all know that your strength is not good enough. You and I will be scolded to death in the end. This will ruin the reputation of this movie and my professional reputation! I am 18 years and 7 months old, and I have the status today. What do you think you rely on? Because I am handsome?"

He pointed to the direction of California west, and his voice gradually became excited: "I have finished two movies this year, "Soul Surfer" and "Cute Bones", both of which are different producers and traders, but they all absolutely support me. My relationship with the studio is very relaxed, and I don't keep meetings. The script is basically up to me. I don't have much pressure from administration. Do you know why?"

Amber couldn't say anything, and looked at Ye Wei and laughed as he looked:

"TLB is done, Paramount gave me a lot of editing opinions, and almost every senior executive gave me a long email. They said, "It's over, but you can't cut this way, this movie is over." They said they should cut this way and that. I didn't listen. I insisted on my version and refused to modify a single shot. They couldn't do anything to me because this is a ** movie. What they did was not what they said, but they could give up on it, at least they wouldn't invest so much.

Usually they do this, you ** producers take it with you to get out; instead of being prepared for losses like now, you have to give me some advice. Why?"

Ye Wei paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Because the administrative pressure was not here, I called my producer Spielberg, and I said, 'Steven, believe me, this is the best.' Then Spielberg helped me settle all the pressure, and everyone became like, 'Oh, just be happy with the filming, you can do whatever you want.' This is the script, the shooting is like this, the editing is like this, Paramount is like this, and the Lions Gate is like this.

Why did Spielberg support me, why did they just make me happy even if they would lose money, I'll tell you."

He raised his right hand finger, "One, I controlled my budget, and at the beginning I said as much as I said, there was no pressure without increasing; part of it was paid by myself, and a lot of money was waiting to invest in me, which was a solid backing.

2. My "loss amount" is still high and full. Studios have to establish relationships with directors and make plans for the future, so the industry has the rules of strike out. Even if I lose tens of millions of dollars in budget now, any film company will tolerate me. I deserve these tens of millions of dollars to make me happy! Others will also have them.

3. Speaking of me in the industry, film genius, directors, producers, screenwriters, acting, and everything can be done. At the age of 18, they just want me to shoot what I want to shoot, because it may be "Star Wars", "Jurassic Park", or "Forrest Gump", or "The Godfather", "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings"... The worst is "The Wedding Time is Coming". Who do you think these are the ideas? Those office animals? These are the ideas of the creators!

These things I want to shoot and happy about are what the studio wants. You must succeed within three times, either this time or the next time.

but!"

Ye Wei let out a long sigh, looked at Amber's beautiful face, and continued: "It's all based on a premise, yes, professional reputation!

Spielberg trusts me, they trust me because I don’t mess with the movie, I don’t have bad records! Maybe I will make a bad movie, but it’s not because of a woman I’ve been sleeping with or threatened by her role. It’s not because of the way I’ve shot it, but I’ve really messed up.

Only if it is that kind of failure, I will grow up and my future cooperation will be valuable; the failure of a mess only means that a filmmaker is no longer an excellent creator, has no responsibility, no pursuit, and no talent. He has a spirit at all. What else can I cooperate with in the future? Fortunately, I am not."

He laughed a few times, "So do you understand? I won't give you 'Gal', I won't give you any roles that you are not suitable for playing and you don't have the ability to play, so I can fuck Hollywood, and Hollywood is begging me to fuck its asshole again. Do you understand!?"

Amber's mood was so devastated that he was already very weak: "Those photos..."
To be continued...
