On Monday, September 4, 2006, Ye Wei resumed work after taking a half month off. No matter what his mood was, he had to devote himself to his work.

"The Bones of Winter" was only prepared for less than a month, which is enough because it is 100% independent producer. In other words, compared to SS and TLB, there is no office politics. Moreover, it does not have any big scenes, no mid-scenes, many outdoor scenes, and few actors, so preparations in all aspects are easy.

Most of the preparations will be carried out on the spot. The crew stayed in Los Angeles for half a month and set off for the Ozark Mountains in Missouri on September 13. It is the background of the novel and the residence of the author Daniel Woodriel.

That morning, Ye Wei was in a daze. Others thought he had travel fatigue syndrome or was concerned about poor children.

In fact, he was recalling the phone call last night, everything was so messy, and he seemed to say, "You want to vomit, right?", "There are many other fish in the sea."

I remembered what she said, "I am very happy about your understanding, it is very important to me." The process was not very beautiful, but it also had results... How could the process be beautiful?

There will always be bitterness in pursuit of failure, failure...

Although both tet and lms are losers movies, Ye Wei doesn't like failure, never since he was a child, and maybe no one will like it. However, after a sleep, watching the sun rise as usual and the sky brighten again, he knew exactly that in his compound pursuit of Lily, he failed.

Only this is the end.

He once told Nina and Amy that no matter what difficulties and twists and turns he encountered, he would be with Lily again and be with her well. But did he ever respect Lily at that time? No. He didn't want to give up just like that, but if persistence was just hurting her, how could he not stop?

The more Ye Wei thought about it, the more he felt funny. He was really liked by many girls, or even fascinated by them, or wanted to have a passion. These spoiled him, thinking that he had calmed down and improved, and showed that he could have Lily again by having an attitude. At the beginning, he was full of absolute confidence and acted with a fanaticism, thinking that he would get better soon.

Why?

Lily said, "No, we're in the past, we can't do it anymore, I don't like you anymore."

He still held the attitude of "So what if it is true?" You will like me. I am so good, and I will be better. One day you will suddenly like me again.

This is just another kind of arrogance, selfishness, self-righteousness, and self-righteousness. Just like what she said, "This is not on the set, it is not as you want." He just is unwilling to admit his failure, the disappearance of this love, and unwilling to accept that he has lost her.

Until last night, I didn't accept it very casually.

Ye Wei remembered the talk in the night wind on his way to Mexico last year. At that time, Lily told him that it was not now, but there was a time when they loved too deeply, and they had too many requirements for love, each other, and the other person's mind, and all of them were too high, so they defeated them.

She had already felt deeply, lowering the line of demand again and again, but he just trampled on her again and again, hurting her; and when she trampled on his still high line slightly, the selfish "How should she treat me" dignity line, he went crazy and had no change.

He tried to let her trample on these three months, but last night... he really couldn't stand it, when he was voluntarily spare tire, if she had a little encouragement... instead of angering...

Love is mutual, and he understands whether he admits it or not.

ia, defeated by life, nothing left.

"What's wrong?" Jiya saw something was wrong. Ye Wei shook his head, not wanting to complain to her, "Travel fatigue syndrome."

Gia continues to be his special assistant, and she is of course a feminist. W’sb recruits feminists and has received enthusiastic responses. He will participate in interviews these days. What he wants is not only a feminist, but also a real independent filmmaker. The more members of this kind, the more independent films the genes of the film.

If you want to say that shooting W’sb has no technical difficulties, digital shooting makes everything simpler and easier. To put it bluntly, "Rui" walks around, talking to the characters in various scenes in the mountains, there are no ss surfing scenes, no tlb green screen scenes, no special effects, no lms stage scenes, and few driving scenes.

It's like an upgraded version of tet. Ye Wei and Michael Grady, who worked with the second time, talked about the photography style of the film. He decided to have more handheld photography that was not shaking, aiming to create a close-up view, just like a cold wind rushing towards the face.

Sean Maurel has worked with him in a series of high-intensity collaborations with SS and TLB this year, and is already very tired.

This fatigue is not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue. After each creation is over, there is a buffer period to let the mood come out and the brain restarts. The same is true for the creation of the film team. The actors need it very much, and offline staff also need it. He restarts himself quickly, but they may not be sure, so this time he has used more TET collaborators, such as Julie Berghoff as art director and new collaborators.

Apart from him, the most important thing is the actor, because this is a good or bad movie that depends largely on the performance of the starring actor, especially the performance of "Rui".

Emma's like that, and Liz's like that, either.

That afternoon, Ye Wei met with Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia Vikander in the CEO office of the United Headquarters. He has been in contact with emails since the beginning of the year, but he hasn't seen each other for a long time. Compared to the talent show, both of them have grown up a little, but it did not destroy their appearance and temperament, but it was better.

"You..." Ye Wei sat on a rotating office chair and looked at the two girls opposite the desk, "How old are you?"

Jennifer and Alicica were both stunned. Viy knew it, forgot? Asking about age is not a must. What is important for actors is not the real age but the age of performance. But when he asked, Jennifer replied: "16 years and 20 days." Alicica also replied: "17 years and 11 months, my birthday on the 3rd next month..."

"16 years old and 18 years old." Ye Wei suddenly sighed a long sigh, making the two of them confused. He said: "You, you...you..."

Both of them looked at him, and saw his eyes wandering around them. They were soon a little unnatural. Jennifer moved slightly and Elicica pulled her hair away.

Regardless of whether they will achieve something in the future, now one is a middle-class family farm girl from Kentucky, and the other is a young actor from Sweden. Both are no-bodied. The opposite is a genius Viy, the most powerful person in Hollywood at present.

In August last year, the young version of "People" magazine "teen-people" launched a new list "Hollywood New Generation Power List top 10", and the most powerful red star was selected by young people. This year's list was announced last month. Ye Wei was not shortlisted last year and this year's direct championship; the second place was last year's champion Ashton Kutcher (28 years old), and the third place was Lindsay Rohan (20 years old).

Still the number one playboy in Hollywood...

Four of the "Future Girls" have had scandals with Viy, not including them and Ronan, who is only 12 years old. Nina Dubov, who is equivalent to 4/7. Tet, is his ex-girlfriend. Ye Wei is in love with his actors of the same age. The rumor is the routine, SS has Emma Roberts, TLB has Elizabeth Olsen, and W’sb will now...

But it is rumored that Viy has a girlfriend, and it is probably Olson, but it is just a rumor.

The two of them were so normal that they couldn't help but have a bit of a normal dream. What was the bad guy thinking?

Alicica did not avoid his gaze. If Ye Wei wanted to date her, she would be very happy, it would be like a dream come true.

"You are very young." Ye Wei finally spoke with a serious expression and a serious tone: "Ten years later, in 2016, you are 26 and 28 years old respectively. You are still very young and are no longer young for actors. What do you think you will be like then?"

The two of them didn't react for a moment. He frowned and said, "Say, say whatever they want." Jennifer said, "I'm still an actor, maybe a director." He looked at her, "Do you want to be a director?" Jennifer nodded, "I'm reading books learned by directors. If I can't be an actor, I will learn to be a director at full time."

"So the director is for those who can't be actors, right?" Ye Wei asked.

"No, I mean..." Jennifer fixed his eyes, "I'm not pretty. If being an actor doesn't work, I'm going to find some ways to stay. I like movies."

Ye Wei smiled and said, "Then go on. It's no harm in learning some director's tricks. You will understand better what a movie is and perform better." He looked at Elicica, "Where are you?"

"I'm still an actor." Alicica can't forget that breakfast. "Maybe I'm married... I may not be much successful in the United States, but I'm sure I'm still an actor."

"You all want to be a good actor for a long time, right?" Ye Wei laughed when they said yes, "Just that's the requirement? I see more. I see that in 2016, ten years later, you will be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress."

Both girls smiled.

"I don't know the others, and Saoirse Ronan, the girl was born to perform and was flawless."

Ye Wei's eyes moved between their eyes and said solemnly: "This is not a joke, nor is it an encouragement, this is the goal! An agreement is that it may not be the first time you will nominate the Oscar for Best Actress in 2016, but it must be there that year. Ten years, my minimum requirements for you, okay?"

"I will work hard." "I will do my best!" Both of them nodded and agreed, thinking that he was encouraging, and he was indeed encouraged.

"Then now, get out of this office." Ye Wei pointed outside and looked at the two people who were stunned. "Pack up your luggage and go to the Ozarks Mountains tomorrow. It's not about traveling, but about observing the locals, how they talk, how they walk, how they see others, how they think about things, and everything about them.

The crew has arranged for you all, and you will also do some mountain work of chopping firewood and boiling water. It should be quite difficult. You will also contact local gang members, so don’t worry about safety or not learning well. If you are not happy, you feel that you can’t stand the hardship and are afraid…”

Ye Wei paused and said in a deep voice: "Get out now, don't waste my time."

"I'm not afraid, I've done too much farm work." Jennifer showed a hint of excitement on his face, and Viy attached great importance to this movie.

"I have never done farm work, but I am not afraid. I just want me to meet your requirements." Alicica said some other thoughts inadvertently.

Ye Wei leaned back toward the back of the chair, "Go. I will see you again on the 13th. I hope you can give me some surprises by then."

When they saw him looking at the ceiling, holding the back of his head with both hands, they were so excited that they didn't want to say anything else, they all stood up and left with tactful thoughts.

"Goodbye." Alicica felt that he and Ye Wei in her memory had changed a lot. Not only was he more mature in appearance, but his humor...

"Viy, goodbye." Jennifer said goodbye.

"Wait, do you know..." Ye Wei suddenly called the two left. They looked back and asked, "Is it possible... it's just because of tourism fatigue syndrome? I mean, there's nothing wrong, it's just an illusion... Forget it, forget it, you go."

The two of them responded, both left with confusion, walked out of the office and closed the door.

The office fell into silence.
Chapter completed!
