Toronto, this day, the set of "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" sounded two sounds of shouting "start filming", one is Ye Wei's, and the other is Nanette Posten's, the screenwriter, producer and director of the documentary "VIY Dream Chasing, the Little Beauty of Sunshine, the Birth of a Prodigy".

Nearly three years old, Nanette Poster is a big name. She graduated from New York University and collaborated with Brit Morgan in 1997 to produce "In the Ring" (director, producer, editing). This small-budget documentary that follows the fate of three boxers and their coaches shines. She first won the "Judge Special Award Documentary" award at the Sundance Film Festival in 1999, followed by the International Documentary Association Documentary Award, etc., and was nominated for the 26-year Oscar for Best Documentary.

A new female director who can win so much recognition with her first film, Poster has gained a reputation in the industry and has a very good career start.

In 196 before she became famous, she also participated in the production of the documentary "In the Name of the Emperor" as a screenwriter and editor, "In the Name of the Emperor", a documentary about the Nanjing Massacre tragedy, which recorded the historical fact that the Japanese army killed and killed more than 30,000 Chinese civilians in Nanjing in 1937. However, the Western world, which had long been indifferent to the Nanjing Massacre, has always ignored and questioned it, believing that the number 30,000 is "the so-called c11c)", and the film naturally received no praise.

After "In the Ring", Poster produced two TV documentaries one after another, and collaborated with Morgan to produce Robert Evans's biographical documentary "Light and Shadow" again. Although she did not receive a major nomination and award, she was well received in the film critics. Last year, she produced a TV program "The Film Academy" for her IP, but without a second season, her career fell to the bottom.

In this case, Postern negotiated with DreamWorks and took over the project "'IY".

The Oscar-nominated documentary filmmakers are biography-making targets of old legends like Robert Evans (one of the classic producers such as "Rosmary's Baby", "Godfather", "Chinatown", and had a dramatic life). Even if they fell into a trough, it was beyond everyone's expectations that Posten took over "VIY".

A "semi-legendary" Chinese genius boy who has not yet reached a conclusion, a derivative promotional documentary?

When the news spread, the media were surprised, and some comments said, "Postern reduced his value" and "stupid choice"...

"I learned his story and read some related video materials, and I was moved. The story of VIYR is interesting and powerful. He is a student on campus, and he is a filmmaker outside campus. He has many aspects that teenagers have and do not have, all in IY, which is what attracted me. It would not be a promotional film, it is a biographical documentary about growth, youthful passion, and genius."

Posten said this in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

She has always wanted to make a documentary about the youthful growth of American teenagers. "VIY" not only provides an opportunity to try her skills, but she is also very interested in the story of this extraordinary teenager and has no prejudice against Chinese geniuses, so her takeover is actually a natural result.

In this matter, DreamWorks is still in the joy of being able to invite her, and she supports her positioning of the film. A good documentary is much more effective than a promotional film. It is not that the "Little Sunshine Beauty" that has been broadcast for 3 minutes is very good. Go to the theater to watch it." Some people buy it, but a touching documentary is different. It is best that she can get "VIY" to be nominated for Oscar.

Ye Wei was also very happy at first. He liked and admired Nanet Posten, and felt that it was a bit insignificant to invite her to shoot a documentary for him. Until today, Posten brought her crew to his set to shoot the video material. He was unhappy and wasted his time to greet them and cooperate with their shooting.

The set has been busy filming scenes in the dining room scenes these days, especially scene No. 18.

By deleting some shots, controlling the number of new shots on the spot, and consciously accelerating the efficiency of all aspects, he finally brought back the lost working hours. He didn't want to be shot again because of Postern's visit.

The scene No. 18 was filmed very hard, and he made more or less adjustments to the performances of the six leading actors. Hanks and Roberts became more and more worry-free after entering the state; Akin's performance was the best in the whole audience, and he asked for "Grandpa has two sides, one side of Oliver's warm grandpa, and one side of everyone else's old hippie". Akin definitely did it.

The uncle played by Tim Ross and the brother played by Paul Dano are a pair of good partners who are fake and melancholy. They act well, and of course Dano's NG volume is much higher; the one who directs the most is Abigil, and you have to mention the scenes where the true performances are not enough.

It is unrealistic to let a 9-year-old child understand the profoundness of the whole story, and it is not necessary. He allows her to complete the performance by performing demonstrations, emotional replacement, etc.

But the problem is often not due to the performance of a single shot, but the physical and emotional coherence between the shots. Think about the first shot, holding a spoon and spoon of salad with your right hand, while the second shot does not hold a spoon, and both shots act very well, but when they are connected together, they become inexplicable missed shots.

This is physical inconsistency, and emotional inconsistency is even more serious, which will make you look shocked and it will only be troublesome when you edit it later.

Therefore, directors, scene notes, and camera editors are responsible for reminding the actors, but the actors' own grasp is very important. High-quality performances are planned and prepared, which not only reduces the workload, but also maintains the performance. Coherence is the basis of film performance. Ladies think that acting skills refer to facial performances, but they are not.

Ajin and Hanks rarely make these technical mistakes, but Abigil is different. She is young and has little experience, so it is difficult for her to be fully prepared by herself.

"I won, I won, I am going to be the champion, Oh my god, Oh my god"

At this time, the scene in the dining room of the studio was still busy. Maurel and other filmmakers were busy changing cameras and lighting. Ye Wei was directing the rehearsal for the actors, mainly running out of the kitchen with Abigil running past. The others were sitting or standing at the dining table, and Roberts followed him out at the kitchen door with the phone.

They watched Ye Wei shouting excitedly in a childish voice, running from one end to the other, demonstrating the movement and emotional coherence.

After Ye Wei finished the performance, he said to Abigil who was following him: "When you heard the news of the finals in the kitchen before, there was the highest intensity of joy. Then you ran out, and the intensity dropped little by little, from excitement to a fascination, expectation, and you were a little crazy. Like me." He whispered and long, "Oh my god, oh my god--"

"Okay." Abigil's little round face was full of seriousness. Under the instructions of the director, he started a rehearsal: "I won, I won, I will become the champion.

"A little more, and overall it is down, fascinating, don't have any rise."

"Okay. I won, I won, I'm going to be the champion... Oh my god, oh my god--"

"Very good, little genius, that's it"

Soon, PTV shouts sounded again on the set, and soon there was TTC again, one filming team was filming the movie and the other was filming them.

After shooting a few shots, he had to reset the camera again. Taking advantage of this time, Poster called Ye Wei to the performance area of ​​"'IY". This time he was told how to move. Ye Wei walked around in front of the dining room scene. After hearing Poster's "Tae", she was about to go back to work, but she came and asked softly: "Is that key person really impossible to choose?"

"Yes, it's impossible." Ye Wei shrugged. No matter how many times she asked, the result would not change, because she was referring to Lily. During the previous stage of collecting information and writing scripts, she discovered that he had dated Lily. She then vaguely discovered Lily's importance and hoped to write it into the script. He did not agree or help.

Posten seized every opportunity to try lobbying: "But without her, your documentary is incomplete..." Take "Angel Dance" for example, why did Ye Wei, an unknown boy, get the free use of Phil Collins' Oscar-best original song "'11BeT-M-Hat", and how could Tom Hanks and other superstars see this short film, and his emotional life...

"Nanette, you don't know the situation, it's really impossible. Without talking about my attitude, that key person wouldn't be willing to appear in this way, and there is no door."

Ye Wei said and laughed. Even if we were still in love, Lily would say H without hesitation. Besides, now, he fell off the cliff and was injured and made the whole world know that she didn't send a greeting message. She didn't send a greeting message. It was really unfriendly. If this happened to her, he would definitely send it. It's not an enemy. It's been so long, and everything has passed.

"Don't mention this anymore. Either I don't want to cooperate with your creations, or..." He shrugged again, shouted and walked towards Maoriel and others: "Hey, it's not like there, a little more to the left."

Posten wiped his hair helplessly. This situation is really regrettable. Maybe others don’t know, but she knows that “VIY” is incomplete. But this is just a documentary, which can only be recorded in part, and it is impossible to have all.

On this day, the LM set also set up an interview shooting area to allow the "VIY" filming team to interview everyone, of course when they are free.

"How do you think he did his job on the set?"

On the same question, everyone praised differently. Hanks smiled and said, "Better than I expected, Weige's professionalism and maturity allowed him to deal with all problems. He has been on the road since the first day of filming." Roberts grinned and said, "He is so special. I have been on the set of newcomers, but he is not like newcomers at all. This is called genius."

"Before the filming started, he was injured in an accident, including a concussion, what impact did this have on him?"

Ajin replied expressionlessly: "What impact can it have? He is a teenager. He is thinking all day long about how to spend extra energy. That little injury can't stop him." The interviewer asked again: "You are such an experienced actor. Can he give you any useful advice in performance?" Ajin nodded and said: "There are many, and this is nothing to be believed. No matter how experienced the actor is, he is acting as the director's intention. Abigil and I need to listen to Weige's advice."

"We saw Ye Wei was a very hardworking person," said Tim Ross. "He did extraordinary preparations, but he was still working on the set, sometimes sitting there for a while and then continuing. This is the most incredible part of a teenager. He has great ambitions."

"What do you think of him as a person outside of work?"

"A good teacher and friend." Paul Dano said sincerely, and smiled again: "I will also bring you a lot of fun."

Abigil smiled with his front teeth, "The director is funny."

The interviewer asked: "How is it funny?"

"In order to teach me how to perform, he also plays a little girl himself, and his voice is very funny."

"What about outside of work? Is he fierce?"

"Not at all, he's fine."

The filming team of "VIY" stayed on the set for two days and left, waiting for LM to shoot the outdoor scene before taking materials. When the LM crew spent more than two weeks on the shooting location every weekday, they left the studio as scheduled and went to some real-life venues outside to shoot.

The overall work in the studio stage was smooth, and probably no studio could be satisfied with 100. The shots taken in the past two weeks were enough to make Ye Wei happy.

On Friday evening, April 15, the second Harvard-West Lake Film Festival was held at the Rugby Theater in Harvard-West Lake High School. Ye Wei flew back to attend without any trouble, but he sent his blessings early. The film festival is one of the pillars that support Jiya's schooling. At the end of last year, she made a short film and signed up to win the Ye Wei Award.

She personally wrote, produced and directed, formed a simple crew of more than ten people, and invited Emma Roberts to star in it.

This 7-minute comedy short film "The Cool Girls from Girls' School" tells girls who sneak into a boys' school and make a series of jokes is already at the level of professional short films. Although it is far less outstanding than "Angel Dance", Jiya is 18 years old and is still in a low tenth grade because she repeatedly dropped out of school and was studying for a very low-level tenth grade. However, she once again proves that Coppola's only granddaughter is not easy to mess with, cannot be called a prodigy, and can also win a talented and worthy of her surname.

That night, amid the warm applause of the audience, Jiya raised the Ye Wei Prize trophy as she wished and shouted out the award: "Now the trophy in Ye Wei's family is only 6 left, and the other half is in my hands."

Ye Wei, Jiya Coppola, Emma Roberts, if this matter is targeted by gossip tabloids, they will definitely make a big fuss about the scandal.

Since Ye Wei and Angelo fought that fight, he has been no longer just a genius in mainstream media, but also a bad boy in gossip tabloids. Although he does not have the covers of almost every day like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, he has taken some pages from time to time.

What is gossip tabloids? It's just attracting attention. Like the accident when falling off a cliff a few days ago, the popular tabloid "National Inquirer" reported the whole process. Ye Wei couldn't stand the huge pressure and committed suicide. TTc magazine said that Ye Wei committed suicide for love, and even reported on what he was thinking at the time.

The more people become famous, the more gossip news, the more exaggerated it is. Generally speaking, it is meaningless to make a fuss about gossip and tabloids. If they hit their minds, tabloid readers will not be stupid enough to believe whatever the tabloid says. Reading tabloids is just a consumption of celebrities and current hot topics.

And compared to Pitt and Cruise's true and false scandals, the tabloids have always been quite gentle to Ye Wei, so he and his team never responded much to this.

However, in recent days, the National Inquiry News broke out a "shock news" about Ye Wei, not a romantic scandal, drugs and alcohol, and a sensational title: "VIY is a puppet director"

It turned out that according to a staff member of the studio "Sunlight Beauty who doesn't want to be named, Ye Wei is an idle person on the set, and the director's work is basically shared by everyone, so he can continue to shoot films when he is injured. The insider described: "He just sat in the director's chair and pretended. Sometimes he would get up and say a few words, but no one took it seriously. Once he wanted to talk to Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, and they turned black and he sat back."

"I don't know what Ye Wei has on the set. He doesn't count. There are three or four days a week when he sleeps and spends his working hours, or he plays a game console. This is more like a movie without a director. Everyone does his own thing, and the actors perform whatever they want. The scene is very funny."

The National Inquiry News reported and commented: "With so many big stars, Tom Hanks and Alan Hajin are both excellent directors. What can Ye Wei do if he doesn't act as a puppet in front of them? I can only be sure that Abigil Bryslin can be a prodigy director."

There have always been controversies about Ye Wei being a real genius or commercial hype. The National Inquirer officially created the "puppet idle story" with this vicious rumor.

It is difficult for ordinary people to know how the director works, and it is difficult to prove this kind of thing. Therefore, those who are willing to believe this argument will believe it, and those who understand will smile it. But those who are naturally very angry. How many people have a wrong understanding of VIY because of these nonsense.

There must be more quantity, and many new questions have emerged in the online Yahoo Q&A and other places like mushrooms after a rain. "I heard that Ye Wei is just a puppet director, is this true?"

Ye Wei still ignored it, but as time passed, the rumor gradually showed signs of fermentation. The National Inquiry News broke the news again that "VIY was scolded and cried on the set."

At the same time, April 2 is here, the day when the Exorcist Video is released.
