Who would have thought that the first creative conference would be so well prepared?

The middle-aged white art director Donald Graham Burt (caIGraam Bur did not expect that, he was a little embarrassed.

The reason why Donald sat here is due to Wang Ying's matchmaking. He and Wang Ying have been friends and partners for many years. His debut work was "Happy and Blessing Club", and later collaborated on "The World Center", "The World Center" and "It's All the Mistakes of Daisy". After filming Daisy at the beginning of the year, he was unemployed until he joined the Little Beauty of Sunshine".

(In another world, Donald later became David Finch's long-term partner and won the Oscar for Best Art Director with his 26-year "The Strange Things of Benjamin Button".)

Ta Leffe, a white female setter in her prime, also did not expect that she had a fat face, and was surprised.

The reason she was in the conference room was because of James Shams's match. She was a newcomer who had just entered the industry for a few years. Her debut was the independent film "Jimmy Show" in 201.5 million, and it received a box office of 03 yuan. Then she worked for six movies in a few years. The most famous one was "Love Returns to New Jersey". One of the investors in "The Thumb Sucking Man" that has not yet been released is Ted Hopper's production company "Here is There 1Tat-prtIc". After a while, she joined this time.

(Another world, Heather was nominated for Best Art Director-Scenery for his 214 "American Scam".)

Tony Bonaventura, a white prop artist who has entered the middle-aged and elderly, did not expect that this was the first time this happened in the industry for so many years.

Since Bonaventure worked as a worker in the 193 "Dark Angel", he has been in the industry for more than two years and has worked for nearly 40 film and television works, with all kinds of good and bad, including the bad legend "The Love of a Rich Girl" and his personal representative work "Extreme Suspect".

His joining was the result of Peter Heller, and he was the prop artist in "The Successor of Jordan". When Heller proposed this candidate, Ye Wei felt that there was a fate in it when he saw "The Love of a Rich Girl", so he nodded in agreement.

However, Bonaventu is a big-name prop artist who doesn't have to worry about work. The "The Fairy Wife" that is waiting for the release of next summer is 6.6 million yuan in production costs. And just a few days after he agreed to join, the "Good Night, Good Luck" project, written by George Clooney, also came to him. The schedule conflicts, so he can only choose one of them.

Because of his friendship with Heller and his industry reputation, he did not withdraw his verbal promise, but chose the controversial little beauty of Sunlight.

(In another world, Tony Bonaventura joined "Good Night, Good Luck" and reached the peak of his career.)

The three of them formed a powerful lineup full of talent and experience, which is very satisfactory; in addition, there is an important figure in the art group, the art designer has not yet determined the candidates. This is because we must first determine the art style the director wants, and then find a suitable art design to execute and lead the design work.

Art director is the person who leads the art team, the film crew, the clothing and makeup. At the beginning of the art conference discussion, Donald certainly had the responsibility to come up with his own concept sketch, and he also brought it, but in front of Ye Wei's part, there was really little to be seen.

Heather and Bonaventu are fine. At this stage, they don’t need to do much conceptual picture, but their script analysis is done very sloppy.

So on the one hand, the three of them couldn't help but praise Ye Wei's seriousness and professionalism, but on the other hand, they were so embarrassed that they were taught a lesson by a new teenager...

The conference room was quiet, and Heller was nervous. Is this a warning to the old fried dough sticks? It is a good thing to prepare well, but I didn’t tell everyone in advance how much you should prepare. This lacks the smoothness of dealing with things unless you intentionally exert it.

It’s not impossible to do things like this, but the Y he knew was not a director with such a harsh and serious style. Has it really changed?

They were looking at Ye Wei's conceptual picture, and Ye Wei was also looking at their preparation materials. Looking at these simple sketches, the young face smiled and praised everyone: "Brothers, the work is done well and it is very suitable. They give me a lot of reference space."

When everyone heard him say this, they couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed. This movie prodigy is indeed a smart person who is easy to get along with.

Heller laughed in his heart, a prodigy is a prodigy

Regardless of whether this is a warning or not, everyone is indeed a little underprepared. VIYR spoon is preparing to amplify this point, but he is not arrogant, blamed, or proud, but helps everyone get through it. He does not focus on the number of preparations, but on the degree of completion of their concept map.

In the first meeting, the conceptual drawings of each department are simple and rough, which is a professional behavior. If it is highly rendered as a painting, it will not work. Are you a director or a director? Only the director is the person who decides the final film picture and effect. Their job is to propose concepts, participate in the discussion and execute the director's decisions.

Y seems to be talking nonsense, “very suitable”, actually shows his attitude—no one in the conference room makes mistakes, which encourages morale and gains popularity.

Even the power has been achieved. Looking at this large stack of documents, who dares to underestimate this young king?

Despise? If the three of them had such thoughts before, "No matter how genius is, they are still a child", "This job is not difficult", there must be some, and now they cannot be said to be completely gone, but they know that this mentality will only make them mess up and make a fool of themselves

At this stage, VIYf is not only doing his job as good as an adult director, but also doing very well.

Whether it is scene illustrations, prop sketches, keyframes, the exquisite painting skills are amazing, and the concepts they show make them suddenly enlightened and understand the effect the director wants very intuitively. Ye Wei's age and qualifications are not a stumbling block to the production, but just a dazzling light.

Mao Ruier, who was watching the storyboard pictures of several scenes, was also secretly praised, so it was really a blessing to be a VIYR spoon photographer. With such a fine storyboard, his grandmother could carry the camera.

"Wige, do you have a warm tone?" Heller asked while looking at the picture, helping to open up the topic.

"Yes, absolutely warm tones." Ye Wei nodded, and saw a sketch of a Volkswagen bus drawn by Donald. The script only reads "Volkswagen bus". What is the model and appearance are all places to create.

There is a prerequisite: the car must be a Volkswagen bus, any other station wagon, RV, any brand of any car.

Because the Volkswagen bus was a hippie movement in the 1960s, an important element of the entire hippie culture. In that era, several hippie drove around in a small Volkswagen bus, which was a historical portrait. In this story, the Volkswagen bus is a symbol of soul status. The family of middle-class families became hippie, and eventually broke the shackles of the mainstream society's definition of success and failure and rushed towards freedom.

In addition, my grandfather has obviously always been a hippie. He came from that era and his old bus at home was his. He left home on the Volkswagen bus and died of drug use.

The hippie spirit is also a major spirit in road movies, starting with "Bonnie and Clyde".

As for the model and color of this bus, it is actually destined to be chosen by the story: one, it must be a classic model from the 6ths; two, it is just enough to sit for six people; three, it is as yellow as sunlight, and all yellow is not conducive to the visual senses, so there is only classic yellow and white to choose from.

Although these are reasonable decisions, Ye Wei still wants to make sure that Yang Yang this bus sketch and said: "Change it to a smaller model at the rear of the car, so it will be difficult to put my grandfather's body; yellow and white, of course, it must be old, with a little dent, and the interior of the car must be done to highlight the age and grandfather's background settings. This is a dusty car that is extremely rare. If there is graffiti on the outside of the car, make a version for me to see. If there is graffiti, you should also be streamlined. Don't draw the whole car."

Everyone nodded, and Donald and Bonaventura both made records.

The meeting lasted for an afternoon, and finally achieved a successful result, which exceeded the scope of the first meeting in many aspects. Everyone clearly understood Ye Wei's intentions and could carry out the next step of work, improve the manpower needed by various departments in Toronto, survey the scenery, and go to the prop warehouse and market to find props and make props...

The production will also continue to build a crew and determine the actors.

These work can be fast or slow, and the filming period is scheduled for April and June next year, and there is still plenty of time to prepare.

Whether the preparation work of each department is large, one of the key points depends on whether the department gets a lot of budget and can't do anything without money. This time the production team gave the art team a considerable budget, because Ye Wei pays great attention to the artistic performance of the film, so the art team is not considered leisure.

Those who have professional ethics and are determined to achieve something will be happy about it. Donald and others are undoubtedly not those who are just waiting for the finalization of the filming. They are full of energy.

The reason why the filming period is not during the summer vacation is scheduled in April and June, and it has to spend some money to invite teachers to teach the young actors, and it is also delayed because it is expected to be released at the end of next year. This is an undecided plan A; Plan B is to attend the Sundance Film Festival in 2UU after the filming is done next year, and then be released in the fall and winter of 2UU.

Plan B is a normal distribution strategy for low-cost independent films. For example, "The Big Man Napoleon" was filmed in the summer of 203, premiered in Sundance in 1 year in 204, and was released in theaters in June. From the start of filming to release for one year, this is considered faster, and the most are the films lasting more than one and a half years, two years.

But "Little Beauty of Sunshine" is not a normal independent film. In the fall of 2UU, Ye Wei was 18 years old, so he lost the promotional point of his minor. As for this project, the younger Ye Wei was at the time of release, the more beneficial the publicity and the more legendary the film was. And who knows that two years later, does anyone still remember this prodigy or the former prodigy?

Therefore, the DreamWorks Distribution Department was so anxious that it formulated a plan A from the start of filming to the release of half a year.

The plan is always the plan, and the actual situation depends on the publicity effect along the way. If the expected node is not met by then and the promotional period before the release is not allowed, then you can only follow Plan B or the new Plan C.

On this issue, whether there are superstars joining has a huge impact. If there are, publicity will easily get hot, and child prodigy superstars can even explode the topic.

As for whether to enter the awards season? Everyone knows that if you have crazy dreams, just wait until the film comes out to see the quality.

After the meeting, Ye Wei took a taxi back to Dubov's house in Scarborough. It was already evening. He thought it was time for him to buy a car and he had to run around at work. It was really inconvenient to have no car. Fortunately, the American driver's license can be exchanged for a Canadian driver's license, and just apply for it.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone red in the sky. When Nina in the front yard saw him, she immediately walked over, as if she was waiting for him. The expression on her face was completely different from usual, with an apology smile, and a little gentle. Anyway, she rolled her eyes, was indifferent, and she looked like she was despised.

What's wrong with her? Ye Weizhen was a little confused. He had no objection to her. It was normal to say hello and talk, but the last time she talked to him was... on the day of Homecoming Day? No, she hadn't said anything that day. Oh, it seemed that it was the day when she watched the first episode of "UfaUu". Yes, it's been more than half a month.

"Yunick." Nina walked up to her, tied her hair around her forehead, her eyes were filled with soft light, and said apologizing: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." She said silly, laughing as if she was embarrassed and embarrassed, "I only knew it today, haha, I'm such a fool, are you, haha..."

"Do you know?" Ye Wei said oh, and was finally recognized. This would be good, so that she would not be able to roll her eyes again.

"Well, I only realized you were." Nina's face turned red and she knocked on her head. "I should have seen it long ago. She did so many stupid things for you. I'm so stupid... Actually, you can tell me from the beginning, I won't mind. Really, we can be good friends."

Ye Wei shrugged slightly and smiled, "I didn't want to hide it from you on purpose. Mihaela said you may not be able to keep the secret, and this may also disturb your normal life. Let me not say it, I respect them. Nina, I have always been grateful for your kindness. That's not stupid, so we're fine?"

"Of course," Nina shouted happily, reaching out to pinch his thick arm, "I always wanted to have a gay friend."

"...what?" Ye Wei was stunned, his muscles all over his body suddenly became tense, and he pointed at himself, "Honesty? Me?"

"Yes..." This reaction was wrong. Nina's smile froze and her eyes turned to the side, as if she was asking someone else, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Ye Wei loudly expressed his sexual orientation, and looked at her pretty face changing, which was really ridiculous: "I am 100% heterosexual, why do you think so?"

"Yunick, you don't have to be afraid of coming out, and I won't talk to others, I really don't mind..."

"Stop, I'm very, very seriously telling you that I won't joke or lie in this regard. There is only one situation I'll be gay: I'm a girl."

"Then are you a girl?"

"No"

Nina looked bitter, "This doesn't make sense", followed Gu You who was walking towards the main house, and said, "But someone saw you playing very close to Demian Rush, an eleventh grader, and behave very intimately. He is gay, do you know?"

There are always so many rumors in the school. She is not a gossiper, but she can still hear some rumors. Recently, there is a genius in the school, a genius who is good at studying, and there is also a story about homosexuality and Yunik. She asked about it, and thought she understood it, but he said no?

Ye Wei glanced at her and said with a funny look: "You said just now that you always wanted to have a gay friend. Are you gay? I am the same. Damian and I are just friends. He is good and has a very artistic talent. I like this friend. That's it. Have you ever heard rumors stopping on wise men? Don't be stupid."

I'm stupid? Nina took a deep breath, bit her lips hatefully, slowed down, and watched him walk into the room... I wasn't stupid. She suddenly remembered something, hurriedly followed, and asked, "Wait, then what is the secret you just said? What secret? Say, what secret?"

"I am your brother who has been separated for many years." Ye Wei answered casually.

"Impossible, my god," Nina screamed in anger. This guy's "humor" is really annoying. "I only have one brother, tell me...ah, did you adopt it from them? Adopt a 6-year-old guy?"

"No, just joking, okay, I'll tell you, just say it, I'm a movie star."

Nina is really angry to death. What is this guy talking nonsense? Are you crazy about watching that movie "UfaUu"?

"If you were a movie star, I would still be a superhero"

“Which?”

"Superwoman...oh my god, really nerd"
