Chapter 273: The Dream Approaches
In May 2oo5, there was a sudden exorcism battle in the North American film market, and the three exorcism movies "promised" to fight to the death on June 3.
The indiscriminate publicity of "Emily Rose's Exorcism" was spread all over the North American Big 6, and Toronto was no exception.
"The Exorcist Gaiden" is not so invested, but it also uses the internal strength of Time Warner Group to frequently appear in the public eye.
But war is not only born in movie theaters, Lionsgate is a lonely independent company, and even in its hometown of Canada, it is in trouble.
The incident stems from the recent complaints from viewers to the Canadian Film Classification Office (FCO), arguing that TET's current PG rating is ridiculous, that there are so many bloody and violent scenes in the film, and there are so many scenes that are enough to make people emotional, this is not a film suitable for teenagers and children to watch at all.
After a re-evaluation, the FCO revised the rating of this increasingly popular horror film, from a PG rating that is unconditionally allowed for people of any age to watch it, to a 14A rating (14 escort rating) that allows children and teenagers to watch it, that is, audiences who are over 14 years old can watch it alone, otherwise adults need to watch it together.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to TET! I don't know how much box office I lost all of a sudden, and I called my parents to go with me? That's not cool at all!
"This is a shameful moment for the Canadian film industry." Lionsgate was outraged and complained about this, but the FCO insisted on the revision, citing that "the film's shocking psychological cruelty is not suitable for young audiences".
By standard ambiguity, no one cared about a pseudo-documentary before, and the MPAA rated PG-13 for "a small amount of bloody violence, a lot of psychological horror, and parental guidance," but now Lionsgate and Two of the Big Six have a fierce conflict of interest......
If TET becomes R-grade, it means that the boxing match will be slashed ten times and seriously injured before it starts, and Lionsgate naturally can't wait for death.
"If the film doesn't meet the PG-13 standard, why does it get the rating it has now? Because individual viewers complain that it has to be revised, which makes no sense at all. A large number of teenagers and children have already watched it, and no one has experienced discomfort, but they have all been moved by it."
However, according to various media reports, many children and teenagers have recently screamed uncontrollably while watching TET, and even cried and vomited.
To modify the TET to R class louder and louder and the MPAA has not yet made any response.
On and off the field, this exorcism battle has actually started a long time ago.
Despite being overshadowed, TET continued to explode, and there were two major events in the fourth week of its release, one was that "Star Wars Prequel 3" was released on Thursday the 19th, and it took only one day to win the weekly championship; The second is that it suddenly has a box office of one million in a single week, and compared to the low cost, it is safe to make money.
The exorcism controversy has not yet been staged, Hollywood studios have coveted this big cake that has suddenly appeared like the new big 6, and one pseudo-documentary project after another has quietly begun to study, and the ferocious attack of the future pseudo-documentary craze seems unstoppable......

......
Entering the end of May, a few days ago, the LMS location scene was basically all filmed, leaving only the ending scene and the interior of a large scene, the hotel of the beauty pageant.
Meryl Streep, who plays the judge "Ms. Jenkins", is one of the best and greatest actresses.
Meryl Streep arrived in Toronto last night, and the crew gave her the highest settlement, subsidizing her to stay in a hotel with Hanks and Roberts, and the two leading actors were at their own expense.
"Good morning! Tom, Julia, good morning, Meryl, welcome to the set of "Little Miss Sunshine"! There are so many people here who are your big fans, and so am I."
Seeing them, Ye Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted them. [,!] went up, Ye Wei smiled excitedly, "Joanna Kramer", "Francesca", "Sarah", "Sophie", "Linda", ......!
In fact, he and Streep have only met once before, and the few other contacts are phone calls and emails.Today he is really in a big position, in addition to directing work, but also getting autograph work, there are really too many people who are her hardcore, Nina, Lev, Bard...... Daddy, Mommy, Duoduo! The little girl loves "Aunt Josephine".
"Good morning, Weige." Streep's smile was so refreshing that he shook his hand, "I heard your worksheet is excellent."
"Thank you, everyone took care of me a lot." Ye Wei smiled and said, "There is nothing to describe your performance, but as a director, I will try my best to make the movie the best in the future."
What he said was actually to show everyone his respect for her modestly, and he said it first, and he gave it to you just for the movie.
"No problem, just think of me as an actor." Streep smiled and nodded, and Roberts next to him grinned, "Don't believe he would scruple him, this stinky boy doesn't drive everyone here." Hanks laughed too, "But he'll have a good reason for you to listen to him." Roberts added, "We're talking about a child prodigy."
After the happy greeting, everyone went to work, the actors went to put on makeup, the staff were busy with various arrangements, and today was another long day!
Standing there, Ye Wei looked at the busyness around him, the scenery, modeling, photography, recording, and field affairs...... This is the scene that I built myself, what a awe!
......
"The Incredible Cast" has been increasing the number of stars, like dominoes, with several giants falling in front and can't be stopped in the back.
This beauty contest has a number of supporting roles, playing the "beauty pageant assistant Pan" is Mary Lane Ledgerscu, a 34-year-old actress who has been acting for many years, and a bright supporting role in many movies; Kevin James, who plays "Staff Kirby", is a 4o year-old middle-aged fat man with a generous temperament, very suitable for the good guy Kirby, he has also been acting for many years, and he has praised the protagonist of the TV comedy "The King of the Queen", and he also acted in movies, and he has just become famous because of his funny performance in "The Enemy of Love".
The 41-year-old Kulitz is also a backbone supporting role in the film and television industry, and the main role in the masterpiece "Band of Brothers" is "Big Bull" (participated in 9 episodes).
The role of "Miss California" has become important, of course the candidates must be chosen well, Ye Wei's original idea was that she should be in her early 2O, golden, sweet, and extremely mean when she turns her head, a typical bad school girl.
There are too many actors who want to join LMS, and they don't have to worry about finding a suitable candidate, but the final decision is not the golden girl.Only because Ye Wei considered one aspect and revised the casting requirements, there are already a large number of "golden girls" among those little girls, and if there is another one, there is no visual and sensory comparison, so it is changed to a girl who is obviously not good at indifferent temperament, but is very beautiful and hot, and finally Ye Wei chose Mila Kunis from the list of five.
This year's 22-year-old popular TV star, the masterpiece sitcom "7O Generations Show" (1998-present), she won 6 consecutive Teen Choice Awards - Best Comedy TV Actress nomination (2ooo-2oo5).However, she didn't do anything on the screen, the last movie was O2 starring in "Beauty Killer 2", but it was so badly filmed that the producer Lionsgate did not run it in theaters, but directly pushed it to the disc market. LMS is a good opportunity for her to turn around.
If they're not a big star, then Stanley Tucci, who plays the "host of the game," is a big name.
You must know that although the "competition host" is indispensable, in terms of the difficulty of the performance and the role of the story, just find a little actor who looks like the host; You must know how old the 44-year-old Tuqi is, he has won the Emmy Award and the Golden Globe Award for supporting roles in film and television, and he is a capable person who can produce, direct and write the screenplay!
Because the host's role is less than that of Ms. Jenkins, he only filmed for a day or two, so he is considered a cameo, as long as he has a symbolic salary.
Tucci's joining is also a matter of course, he is old friends with Hanks and Roberts, and has already collaborated many times, such as "The Road to Ruined Miรจ", "Happiness Terminal", "Gannet Report", "American Sweetheart"; This is not the first time he has cooperated with a Chinese director, he is the main supporting role in "Manhattan Cinderella" directed by Wang Ying.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the nobleman who played Richard turned out to be a braggart "Stan" is Brian Cranston, 49 years old, a popular TV star of the masterpiece sitcom "Malcolm's Family" (2ooo-present), and also acted in movies, the nobleman and friend Hanks, "Unstoppable Miracle", "Saving Private Ryan", "Gorgeous Wasteland: A Walk on the Moon", and then this time the LMS also came naturally.
And the 42-year-old Dean Norris, who plays the policeman who stopped the car, is also a backbone supporting actor in the film and television industry.
These actors are very powerful, maybe when the time comes, with a movie or a TV series, they will shine brighter, and they will shine more than now. [,!] sparkle and each character can impress the audience.
Maybe one day, these actors will become popular all over the world, and people can find their names in the cast list of "Little Sunshine Beauty".
......
is worthy of Meryl Streep, being her director will have gains, her understanding and interpretation of Ms. Jenkins makes Ye Wei feel rewarded in directing and acting, and I really look forward to it, the audience has never seen such a mean and annoying Streep, he is sure as a fan, this is a big surprise.
And the chemistry between her and Hanks was great, and Richard knelt down for Ms. Jenkins to beg for that scene, even if it was just filming, everyone on the set was moved.
On the evening of the 24th, as soon as the crew finished work, Ye Wei drove to Dubov's house in Scarborough, and Nina will fly to the Czech Republic with the team tonight to compete in the World Youth Championships on the weekend.
When Ye Wei came to the living room of Dubov's house, Nina was ready to go out, two suitcases, and Mihaela would go with her.
"Yunik." Nina smiled at him, dressed in a sturdy outfit, a light red woolen jacket and black jeans, long tied into a big ponytail, and looked vibrant.
"Hey." Ye Wei approached her, but because of the presence of Konstantin and his wife, he didn't kiss, but smiled: "You look good."
"There's still time until the assembly is checked." Mihaela smiled and asked, "Why don't you go for a walk?"
The two nodded, talked and went out, and soon walked on the shore of the cliff park, the summer Lake Ontario was brightly colored, the swans were playing in the water, and the tourists were strolling.
"I'm sorry I can't go with you." I talked about Streep almost all the way before, and then Ye Wei said softly that he really wanted to go to the show, but he couldn't leave his work, and he had to go back to Los Angeles to record the MTV Awards ceremony on the weekend, so he could only watch her heroics through the video later.
"I'm sorry I couldn't go with you to the MTV Awards." Nina said that when she saw that he didn't react, she suddenly sneered: "There's a joke here!" Because of the need for secrecy, she can't show up with him if she doesn't go to the Czech Republic.
"yes, I know, it's just not funny." Ye Wei hugged her slender shoulders and kissed her forehead, "Nina, just do your best in the game, I will always support you."
"No, it's not good to try your best, it's good to win!" Nina is very serious, serious to the point of being a little strict: "When I was very young, I was taught that athletes are meant to win. You are the captain of the football team, and you know that there is only one winner on the field, either you tear the opponent apart, or the opponent tears you apart. Don't tell me that it's good to try your best."
"Please, some Olympic spirit?"
"The Olympic spirit is a comfort to the loser, isn't it?
"Please......" Ye Wei frowned when she heard this, what was she stimulated? It's not that she doesn't want her to win, it's that I'm afraid that she will be under too much pressure.
Nina's face flashed with excitement, "I'll bring back a medal, I'll give it to you when the time comes!" Ye Wei said: "You gave me a lot of gold medals." Nina hurriedly said: "Those are all petty fights, and all of them add up to a bronze medal in the World Youth Championships!
"Why, I just don't want you to have any psychological burden." Ye Wei hugged her tighter, looked at the sky, and looked at her again, "I just want to say that life is always full of various beauty contests, but success or failure is not so simple to define.
"No, a gold medal is a champion!" Nina suddenly shouted, clasping him tightly with both hands, sniffing his breath deeply, "Sue me, go win the competition, sue me...... I'm going to win, I'm going to win!!" She let go of him, took two steps back, and raised her hand to do a solo gymnastics start, "Yunic, I'll win!"
Ye Wei stared at her, could feel how hot her heart was longing for victory, and smiled, "Go, girl, send all your opponents to hell!"
"That's it!" Nina pointed at him, smiled, turned to the lake, raised her hands, and shouted: "Hi, Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Belarus...... I'm going to win, Nina, I'm going to win Nicolina-Konstantinova Dubov!"
A Bulgarian girl doesn't need a reason to practice gymnastics, she starts to practice at what age, she practices and practices, she suffers from a young age, she is taught from a young age, she uses an art to show her beauty to the world, her own talent!
Proving yourself on the World Junior Championships and chasing medals is not just for whom, but for your family, Yony, yourself, not just ......
I don't know when it became a part of my soul.
My dream!
Dreams, asymptosis.
