Chapter 608 Dream Theater Welcomes a Talented Director
There was no upset at the 13th Actors Union Awards. Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren won the best actor and actress respectively, while the Best Supporting Actress was won by Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson in "Dream Chasing Girl". This was a victory for African-American actors (3/4), a defeat for both bones, but TLB won the Best Actor.
As millions of viewers watched, a group of TLB actors happily took the stage, and there were not many remarks on the time. After Reeves and Weizi, Ye Wei said, "It is a wonderful reward to be praised by his colleagues. Thank you for your performance." Olson continued, "The gentleman next to me is very talented and a bastard. Maybe this is masculinity."
Her untuned words aroused warm applause from the guests on the scene, but people only found out two days later that she said "manly" heavily.

On January 30, 2007, a day that was recorded in football history, Ye Wei, who has always been concerned about, went to Manchester United for a trial trial.
This result shocked the global media, and the headlines of entertainment and sports are occupied by it. This result made football-related words such as "Manchester United", "What is Manchester United", "Premier League" a hot search on Google in the United States. This is a few days ago that David Beckham has confirmed that he would not have caused any news to join the Los Angeles Galaxy next season.
This result was reported by all TV station news programs, studied by espn hosts, and talked about by news talk shows such as "Daily Show" and "Allen Show". On social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, there are a lot of exclamations and wails.
This is one of the most amazing celebrity careers in history, a bit like Michael Jordan's transition from basketball to baseball, Mickey Rock's transition from screen to boxing, Reagan's transition from actor to president... But it's not a singer, model crossing the border, not who does business, not a celebrity challenge on the NBA All-Star Weekend, nor is it a celebrity charity competition for tennis.
"Oh my god!" This is the common voice of countless movie fans and football fans.
Premier League giant club Manchester United announced that they would sign free agent Ye Wei with a contract that lasts until June this year, with a weekly salary of only 1,000 pounds, but Manchester United's income from selling Ye Wei's jerseys and organizing commercial activities such as warm-up matches he played, which would give Ye Wei 40% of the income.
This contract breaks the concept of overall portrait rights for clubs in the past. In today's international football world, players cannot get these incomes. Even players who sell 50% of portrait rights like Inzagi in AC Milan have never received money for warm-up matches. But on the other hand, low weekly salary is unsecured, and there is no superstar treatment such as hotel luxury suites or special planes.
The rarest "superstar contract" in the history of football was born!
Before the media could question this was a money-making business show by Ye Wei and Manchester United, Ye Wei posted a statement announcing that all the income he received at Manchester United except for the weekly salary will be donated to non-profit charities such as the World Outlook to save children. He received his salary because he wanted to rent a house in Carrington.
"I sincerely hope that while fulfilling my dream, I can help more people in need."
What a great guy, there is nothing to say now...
The fans of the movie and the fans couldn't help but praise Ye Wei. This was not a trick to use charity as a tax avoidance, but was donated in real way.
Manchester United also revealed that Ye Wei will wear the No. 37 jersey. This number has no long history or glorious tradition. Just used it by Jonathan Grining (1997-1998), John O'Shea (1999-2000) and Danny Webber (2000-2003), and they have been vacant for four years. Ye Wei's wear, Manchester United's No. 37 has been frozen from now on.
Regarding the labor permit level, a Manchester United spokesperson told the media: "We are already applying for a labor permit for Wei Ge. He is an absolute special genius after failing the procedure! Manchester United hopes that his complaint can be passed quickly."
Some fans left a message on Manchester United's official website to question whether Ferguson was crazy and gave Ye Wei the precious special genius clause for each season. As a result, a Manchester United spokesperson explained to the public that the quota limit is just a rumor. The regulation is that "each player can only appeal once per season". Ye Wei's quota is Ye Wei's, which does not affect others.
Despite this, many media fans are very moved. Why don’t Manchester United complain for King Dong in China? Is it loaned to exercise? Brother Wei’s treatment! According to the Sun, Wenger was very angry about Ye Wei’s complaint on Manchester United’s operation. The insider said, “If Ye Wei can pass, then Arsenal has 100 players to sign to pass.
Another news is that no matter whether the labor certificate can be obtained or not, Manchester United will not lend Ye Wei out, and he will stay in Carrington for training.
Does Viy really have the ability to play professional football? This question is questionable all over the world, including the hardcore Weimi.
Manchester United released another actual video of Ye Wei's trial period. In which he made a long pass from the midfield to the right to assist the forward in counterattack, which really made the fans take a breath. From a genius perspective, a straight pass like a scalpel! espn also invited Ye Wei to make a show. Without anyone to defend, his speed was amazing and his footwork was superb, which was only higher than the data of FM2007.
As the experts said that this contract made Manchester United and Ye Wei win-win, countless people have asked Ye Wei on Twitter, "How can I buy your jersey?" They also went to the Manchester United official website to ask in groups. But a spokesperson for the local Manchester United Fan Association in Manchester shouted sadly: "Marion United's worst recruitment is so strange that we don't know. Such naked business behavior is disgusting. We will never buy Ye Wei's jersey!" Other fans were excited and said, "Ye Wei's joining proves our greatness!"
Fans are differentiating, fans are crying farewell, and many people are even tempting tubes to launch a self-portrait video campaign "Please Ye Wei make a movie"...
The whole world's reaction is just like Yahoo Sports' headline: "Ye Wei joins Premier League team Manchester United! (Not April Fool's Day joke)"
However, among so many headlines, it is still the most classic of Sky Sports: "Dream Theater welcomes genius director Ye Wei!"
the-theatre-of-dreams-weled-the-talented-director-vigor-yeah!
Celebrities are plaguing "ah-wow" on social networks, while Amy Rosen tweeted: "That's why we love this guy."
And amid this trouble, Ye Wei accepted an exclusive interview with the New York Times:
[New York Times: Everyone was scared by your contract with Premier League team Manchester United. What is this happening?
Ye Wei: People have a stereotype that if you can’t do anything, you practice sports. If you can’t even do physical work well, you do artistic creation. The fact is not the case, and sports and performing arts have never been too far apart. I can count a hundred film practitioners who were professional athletes. If you talk about those with a background in the school sports team, you can’t count them. The reason why everyone is surprised is because this is not the usual order. In fact, Howard Hughes is also doing airplanes, and I am just folding a paper airplane.
"New York Times": Now that your career is at its peak, you have decided to quit the film industry. Why? The industry evaluates that your pay has reached $30 million?
Ye Wei: There is room for negotiation. Not everything is about money, but I don’t have anything to do. I am really lucky. The wealth accumulated over the past few years has given me more choices. Compared to making endless money, I want to do things that I am really interested in, passionate and challenging now, so I did that. But my love for movies is eternal. I just leave for a while and I will come back.
"New York Times": How many business factors do Manchester United sign you?
Ye Wei: This is like asking you how much you can fill your stomach when you go to a dessert. To be honest, Manchester United is not hungry, and they will not be able to fill my hunger even if they are hungry, but I will certainly put it in my stomach after eating it. The off-court contribution I bring to the club is obvious. As for what on-court contribution it can bring, it is not up to the point of being said. No matter how much you say, it is impossible to train hard. If I get the opportunity to play one day, everyone will know.
"New York Times": Tell me about your off-court contributions to Manchester United specifically?
Ye Wei: I want to talk about what this journey can bring to me. I have met many new friends at the Carrington training base and have seen many new things. This is different from the film industry and my previous life circle. This is so interesting. For example, I successfully held a "Movie Night", and our teammates gathered together to watch classic movies and tell jokes. I will continue to do it. I will do my best to contribute to Manchester United. These will also be precious memories."
"New York Times": Does Manchester United have any plans to give you a game?
Ye Wei: Without this, all I can do is keep working hard every day and wish my dreams come true as soon as possible.
The New York Times: Why choose No. 37? What is its special significance?
Ye Wei: What day is January 37?]
Followers could feel his sincerity after watching Ye Wei's media interviews. Ye Wei didn't say much on social networks, just posted the same sentence on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc., a line from "Rola Run", a long-lost Yunik-Kuler style:
"Football is round. Ninety minutes of a game, that's the fact. Everything else is purely theory. Let's start!"
...
From January 26 to February 1, the North American film market came to an end, following the second work of "Dating Movie" of 6% fresh last year, "Epic Movie", which won the weekly box office championship with 21.14 million.
This 20 million-dollar spoof comedy movie has a great momentum of making money, although it is only 2% fresh and 29% love. The only praise in the world's film critics is Irving Greberman's b-, who believes that its irony is "affective", but other film critics swear. "The Marriage is Coming" and Ye Wei are constantly mentioned, and Ye Wei's prediction of spoof movies at the age of 16 has hit.
On February 2, the 59th Screenwriter Union Award was announced. "The Walker of the Insular" defeated two bones and won the best adapted script, which also caused Ye Wei's Oscar-winning market to drop, and at the same time caused controversy among media fans. Ye Wei encountered injustice again! The best original script was won by "Tower of the Sky" defeating opponents such as "Half Nelson".
On February 3, the 59th Directors Union Award was awarded. Without any surprises, Martin Scorsese was awarded the Best Director of the Drama for "The Walker".
And on Saturday afternoon, February 3, the Nickelodeon Roadshow Game Show Slime-cross-ame Day ca recorded a new episode at Universal Studios Los Angeles outdoors.
The program has hosts (Lily Collins, James Lewis Jr., Chloe Dilandis, two appearances in each episode), contestants, celebrities, live audiences and staff. Its game is set for children aged 8-17, such as two contestants matching a tic-toe Grey Nick Channel element, which character is from which series. The losers of all mini-games will be drenched in the staff with a sticky green mud of Nick Channel logo, while the winners will have prizes, such as bicycles, sports goods, etc. Celebrity guests will perform live and be interviewed.
The teenagers and children on the scene on this day were very surprised and excited, not because of the guest Mandy Moore and Ye Wei appeared in the audience!
Ye Wei just sat there but stole the limelight. At the strong request of all the audience, he had to go to the stage to accept Lily's interview. Another female host, Chloe, made a fuss and screamed. Lily asked him with a smile: "What performance do you bring to us today? If there is no performance, you will be soaked in mud!" The children in the audience were all happy.
"I'm just passing by... Okay, I'll sing a song for everyone." Before Ye Wei could sing any song, Lily quickly stopped him: "Don't even think about it!" She said happily to the audience: "This is too uncreative and not suitable for him, don't you think?" Everyone shouted and responded. Ye Wei shrugged and said, "Then I'll perform a puppet show for everyone, Lily, you will control me, just like you usually do." The audience shouted again.
"Then I want it?" Lily raised her hand in confusion, and Ye Wei next to her swings lightly and mechanically with her movements. The children exclaimed in surprise, Lily laughed and controlled him interestingly. Ye Wei did whatever she did, and even danced a puppet dance, showing her tacit understanding and superb performance skills.
The show of love between the two became the biggest highlight of this episode. After it was broadcast on Friday night, it was well received by the audience. Weili fans said it was sweet.
On Sunday, February 4, at 6 p.m. local time in Miami, the annual Super Bowl in the United States was held. Finally, after more than three hours of fierce fighting, the Indiana Colts defeated the Chicago Bears 29-17 under superstar quarterback Payton Manning.
Beckham appeared in a midfield advertisement to warm up for entering the United States. This football superstar is not as famous as Great Manning in the United States, and is far less than Ye Wei. His guest star "One Goal Fame 2" will be released in the UK on the 9th. Now this movie is busy getting involved with Ye Wei, hoping to be on the screen in North America.
On February 5, Ye Wei's application for labor certificate failed, and Manchester United immediately filed a complaint. The arbitration team has not been established yet, and discerning people can see that public relations are already underway. Some football news reporters shouted for Ye Wei's appeal, and public relations articles have been released:
"Let Ye Wei enter the Premier League not only benefit Manchester United but the entire league. Is there any better promotion than him? Don't let Ye Wei go to Germany or Spain!"
"Even games knows excellent football skills, physical and mental aspects. Ye Wei, who is under 19 years old, has an unquestionable genius mind. He is talented on the court, and he can also bring immeasurable boost to the development of the Premier League."
"Some people are worried that criticizing Ye Wei's complaint will relax the standards. Can you find which young movie celebrity has the ability and willingness to play in the Premier League?"
On February 5, the Oscar nominee luncheon was held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Hundreds of nominees attended. Ye Wei and three future girls, who were highly concerned, appeared. In front of the media photography board, he did not change his bad boy style, hugged Lawrence on his left and Vikander on his right, and raised his lips with evil spirits.
But Jennifer Lawrence first had a blank expression and then pushed him away, which caused controversy among the media. Lawrence responded on Twitter: "I'm losing my temper. I'm not happy that I can't work with him for the time being. You don't know how strong I have with him."
On February 7, Manchester United officially announced photos of Ye Wei officially joining the team. Ferguson was on the left and Ye Wei picked up his No. 37 red jersey with a smile on the right. His bright smile made many unacceptable fans and fans start to be happy for him, and there are also a new round of blessings on social networks.
From February 2 to 8th, the North American film market passed, Sony's horror film "The Believers" won the weekly championship with 17.52 million yuan, which is quite good compared to its 16 million yuan production fee. The market trend of the film star Kristen Stewart rose, which was her first appearance after the disastrous defeat of "The Brave Game 2" two years ago.
On February 10, Emma Roberts' 16th birthday, she held a fashionable event-style birthday party in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and invited some friends, celebrities to attend. However, the media did not notice Ye Wei, but saw Nina Dubov. It is reported that Dubov recently moved from Toronto to Los Angeles to develop her acting career with all her heart. Her street photos, event photos and news have increased. Nina happily said on her face, "I'm so happy to start my new life!"
On Sunday, February 11, the 60th British Film Academy Awards ceremony was held in London. The famous British talk show host Jonathan Ross hosted the party. Although bfa prefers British movies, it has basically been an Oscar preview in recent years. Best film of "The Queen", Best Director of "Trilling Flight 93", Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren once again won the best actors and actresses...
Ye Wei attended the ceremony that night and lost to "The Last Dictator" in the competition for the best adaptation script. The nomination for the Girls' Trilogy was wiped out. The future girls nominated by BFA include Lawrence, Olsen, Ronan and Vikander, all of them attended. Lawrence said in an interview: "This is my first time going abroad, like I'm on another planet."
The next day, a British paparazzi reporter photographed three girls except Ronan playing together in Carrington, Manchester, and went to visit the set together? This is exactly what the tabloids are eager to expect, and it is also the "female cheerleader" that fans have always said about Ye Wei's own.
On Monday, February 12, Ye Wei announced a surprising news, "Our crowdfunding website spotpass beta version is online!"
His explanation with Spotpass Network lets the media know what online crowdfunding is. Spotpass supports users to launch many creative projects, including movies, music, games and other categories. The crowdfunding period is 60 days. If it is successful, it will be returned to investor funds. The investor funds will be allowed to be crowdfunded again. Investors do not have to pay the handling fee. Only when the project financing is successful will the website charge a 5% handling fee for the financing party, but all of them are free during the test period. There is also Dream Fund support. As long as the crowdfunding progress of any project reaches 90%, the Spotpass Dream Fund will invest the remaining 10% until it invests 10 million yuan of funds.
Creating celebrity business and investing in a website is not new. Ye Wei has also run several websites, so he did not cause much surprise this time. However, this is indeed the first time he has launched such an ambitious website. The media has been talking about the spotpass and online crowdfunding model, some have questions and some have registered...
Some independent film projects invited by Ye Wei have established their own crowdfunding in spotpass.
Among them, there is a B-level horror project called "Murderer Hero", with a target amount of US$500,000 and a maximum investment of 10,000 per person. The producer, director and screenwriter are all newcomers called "santiago-Guangblood". According to the project proposal, Santiago-Jembelard is a super movie fan and has filmed some successful Tube videos. The biggest advantage of the project is that Nicholas Holt has been invited to star in the starring role, and Brie Larson has joined the supporting role.
Who are these two? 17-year-old Holt is a British actor. He has studied acting since he was a child and performed in the camera since he was 8 years old. He has played "Single Parent Transfer Student" (2002) in the main supporting role. "Weather Forecaster" (2005) has a total of 149 million yuan in global box office. The TV series "Skin", one of the stars, was first aired in the UK on January 25, with good ratings and high ratings.
He is a well-known young star, and 17-year-old Brie Larson is also a child star. He has starred in the 22-episode TV comedy "Single Parent" at the age of 12. In recent years, he has had supporting roles in movies such as "Girl Dream Thirty". But last year, he was defeated from the Viy talent show. The family comedy "I Love the Owl" starring her only received a global box office of 8.22 million yuan. This disastrous defeat made her lose her leading position and her career was bleak.
Just these two characters are not big stars, but they are not supporting roles. Santiago Yangberard said in the project introduction: "This is a project full of surprises!"
The current crowdfunding progress of "Murder Hero" is still zero.
Chapter completed!
