After 19 weeks of screenings, after 4 ∧ of the week from August 26th to September 1st, "Exorcism Video" came with a shocking 1. 4.2 billion box office, painted in the North American film market. This number not only made it the highest-grossing pseudo-documentary in history, but also changed so much that the media called it an epoch-making phenomenon.

Yunik Kuller, who is still unknown to the outside world and can only be imaged as a black figure.

Recently, on Sunday, August 21, "Little Sunshine Beauty" released a 1:51-minute teaser, which did not satisfy the cravings of fans and followers, people just looked forward to it more. Because there are not many feature films in the trailer, it is more about introducing who is starring and who is starring, as well as the prodigy director Ye Wei.

The official trailer and more will not be released until mid-to-late September.

DreamWorks has been really bad luck this year, and the LMS teaser has generally not received much attention because it has mistaken an unfortunate disaster.

Hurricane Katrina. It formed on the 23rd, continued to intensify into a hurricane, made landfall in Florida on the 25th, and Louisiana on the 29th, and then destroyed the entire city of New Orleans......

The entire United States is also in a depression, with the world watching the situation and multiple countries, regions and organizations providing assistance.

The catastrophe is not going to pass in a day or two, and the earth will not stop because of whom, but all the movie promotions, including LMS, have really suffered.

For DreamWorks, there is also a disaster, "Escape from Clone Island" 7 weeks after its release (September 2–8), with a pitiful 35,818,913 North American box office, less than the expected 36.7 million after the first week.

And "Red Eye Flight", which was released on August 19, is also mediocre, with a production cost of 26 million and the opening of 3,079 theaters, and now it has only received 46.7 million box office in the past three weeks, and that's it, it not only can't make money in the cinema, but also loses a fortune.

Terley Price makes a cameo appearance in the film as an angry hotel guest, and he's definitely angrier now, DreamWorks is angry, Wall Street is angry, and the death knell for the independent company has been sounded, and one after the other.

The last one to bet all on "Little Sunshine Beauty" had no choice but to do it. Of course, its superb quality also gives people confidence, and now that DreamWorks has fallen into a huge quagmire of self-doubt from top to bottom, except for the animation department, it is not easy to be confident, and they all seem to suddenly not know how to play movie games.

Ye Wei's life goes on. Because of Hurricane Katrina, Nina ended her trip in Los Angeles early and returned to Toronto, and if their secrets were exposed at this time, nothing would be good. However, the two have been out on the street many times, but they have not been discovered by the paparazzi, and it also shows from the side that Viy's popularity is already very low, and his photos are of little value.

Hurricane Katrina made Ye Wei also very sad, in addition to praying for the victims, the only thing he could do was charity.

Like donations. Speaking of money, he will get a huge sum of tens of millions on TET, including box office sharing, overseas distribution royalties, sequel royalties, etc., but it is not immediately available, although Lionsgate's cents are not ambiguous, and it takes time to settle and post, which is not surprising for a year and a half, and there are enough backroom team members such as Brian and Salton lawyers to be busy.

Before the hurricane raged, Ye Wei participated in the school's football training camp, had a good time, and was in good shape, he did not fall behind in training in the past year, and grew up playing football, it was easy to get back the feeling of the game. The soccer league doesn't start until the winter semester, and now it's time to train and build.

In early September, when the hurricane was raging, Harvard-Westlake opened, Wexford also opened, and so did Shooter Girls' School.

After paying the high tuition fees for four years, and making donations from time to time, Ye Wei can finally enjoy the campus of the high school, with more than 800 students, but it is several times larger than Wexford, sports fields, gymnasiums, theaters, churches, ...... In Nina's words, "It's an amusement park!"

Although the school is very large, Ye Wei and Lily will still have occasional encounters, whenever this happens, they will smile from their hearts, say hello and talk, do not deliberately avoid it, and do not deliberately contact each other, like an old friend, a qiē naturally.

In fact, compared to the academic style, curriculum and activities, Wexford is an amusement park, and students here not only strive for an average SAT score of 2100, but also go beyond academics and participate in many extracurricular activities, arts, sports, student self-government organizations, trips to the mountains, farms, and overseas ...... Make yourself better and make your resume shine.

Lily was busy, busy with school, busy with her career, enrolled in performing arts in her art class, wanted to try her hand at acting, tried her hand at filming, joined the varsity cheerleading team, and for many years she lived a very British life, wanting to try her hand at being a "little American girl".

But her biggest interest is the news media, joining the school magazine "Stonecutter", joining the annual magazine "Chronicle", continuing to contribute to a number of girls' fashion magazines, preparing to open a column.

Ye Wei's art class also enrolled in performing arts, intending to continue to improve his acting ability. After taking a few classes, he found that it was okay, the teachers were no worse than Wexford, or even higher, no wonder he could train good actors such as the Gyllenhaal sisters and brothers, but Wexford was better than doing anything else, and he was learning acting almost every day.

Nina has become a star student of the school, there is glory and pressure, she is still adapting to various changes in life, such as it seems that it is difficult to make good friends again, and the original good friends are decreasing, which makes her very disappointed, and she also understands more why Ye Wei wanted to hide her identity in the first place.

On the phone every day, she told him a lot, and with his guidance, relief and encouragement, she was still full of energy, studying hard and trying to improve.

When it comes to study pressure, Nina can't compare to many friends around Ye Wei, and they are all starting to worry about what universities to apply to in the future and how to do a good job of files. Master Gia was very relaxed, "I'll go where the monster goes, staring at you", the monster has already decided to go to the USC Film School, as long as the SAT score is passable, in fact, it is impossible for him not to be admitted.

Why? He doesn't have to do anything, he makes movies.

When the time came to Thursday, September 15th, which lasted three months, the post-production of "Little Sunshine Beauty" was completed, and the final feature film was 107 minutes!

These 107 minutes are more than five years since Michael Arndt began to write the first draft of the script, and it is the result of countless efforts, luck, joys, sorrows, laughter and tears in the past two years, the result of Ye Wei's dedication to his current talent, and the result of the entire crew online and offline.

It's a dream, it's youth, it's blood, it's thinking...... It's a qiē!

At the moment when it was finished at 5:25 p.m., Ye Wei was roaring as much as he could in the post-production mixing room, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he kept shouting with that indescribable excitement! Everyone else in the mixing room also laughed.

This became the material for the "VIY" documentary, and Nanette Postern, who received the notice, and the film crew filmed the historic moment in the mixing studio.

However, it is not necessarily that these 107 minutes will be released in theaters around the world, because they still have to be submitted for review and rating, and only if Shun Lì gets a PG-13 rating.

With less than two months left before the release date, all aspects of publicity are getting more and more sprinted.

For Ye Wei, the project of "Little Sunshine Beauty" has been completed, and it is necessary to follow up the rating, cooperate with the publicity, and record the director's review of the audio track version...... But the work is fragmented and non-creative, and he has time for his next film project.

Take a look at DreamWorks' near-death dilemma to see why in the film industry "work is your greatest power."

If movies could make money by throwing money, Wall Street would move into Hollywood entirely, but in fact it can't, regardless of the six mainstream giants, independent mini-mainstream, and ordinary indie...... Neither. There are countless cases of tragic losses, and it takes some talent and luck to do so. And these two things can't be seen or touched, only the list of works can be referenced.

So the rules of the game are much simpler than those of Washington and Wall Street: no matter what you went through before you got the opportunity, no matter whether you are strong or lucky, you can make money, be popular, and you will have a contract to send you when you sit at home; you can't make money, you are out, no one will pay attention to you no matter how you toss.

Most of the creative industry is like this, and J.K. Rowling's new book, booksellers, are breaking through. K.J. Rowling's new book?

40-year-old Michael Bay is in big trouble, but according to his list of works, the first 5 movies of "Escape from Clone Island"5 0.4 billion production costs, 7. 3.8 billion North American box office (average 1. 4.7 billion), the North American box office return is about 1. 46 times, which keeps him from finishing, the rumors of "Transformers" changing directors have not come true, and probably won't, he just messed up the first time, and there are at least two more chances.

A 17-year-old boy, 2 films with a production fee of 2.45 million, 1. 8 billion North American box office (0. 9 billion), with a return of 73. 46 times, which made Ye Wei quietly become very popular.

In the eyes of everyone who knows that Yunik Kuhler is Ye Wei, he must have a bright future because he is too good at making money, at least for now.

As long as he doesn't self-destruct, no matter how successful or unsuccessful the LMS is, he will definitely have a contract for the next project, just whether it's a big project or a small project.

Ye Wei himself knows that of course there will be, and at worst, he will invest in himself, but now there is no chance of sole proprietorship production at all, he owes too many debts, and at the same time too many people want to get his next project, although it is possible to be sent to hell because of the LMS fiasco, in the end nothing counts, but it is not the time to talk about intentions.

Julia Roberts' eyes are shining, DreamWorks may suddenly cease to be an independent company, but it will definitely continue to produce and have its eyes shining, Preton still wants to cooperate, Lions Gate wants to work together, CAA wants him to make films for big studios, Brian is looking forward to taking commissions, and this and that...... And his own thoughts.

In this time, he has been exposed to a bunch of projects, and they are growing, either because of his own interests, or by others, or by others, or by trying, or possibly......

"Lovely Bones", "Stray Dog House", "Heartbeat", "Another Realm", and "Winter's Bones" adapted from novels, "Soul Surfer" adapted from a live-action biography, and a remake of the classic "Carrie the Witch......

You have to talk about it one by one.
