On February 16, a new week for the North American film market began, with a number of new films released, among which "Bridge to Wonderland", adapted from the classic children's literature of the same name, received 85% fresh praise from film critics, and was beautiful, gentle, unforgettable, and rare in children's movies, and even Joe Morgenston of the Wall Street Journal said that it was "satisfying".

But the audience's popularity is only 70%, mostly because of dissatisfaction with the adaptation and the death of "Leslie".

"Leslie" is an angel, and Anna Sophia Rob, who plays Leslie, is an angel! So how can the audience accept her early death, an innocent and beautiful girl?

"The first half was really good, and after Leslie died, the film became meaningless. ”

"Sad, melancholy! It's so unreasonable, Jesse and Mr. Edmonds are out? There are no adults to take care of it? The rope just breaks?"

"Kids should love the freshness of the movie, but it's too cruel for kids to like. Anna Sophia Rob plays very well, the little girl who plays Mabel is also cute, and the other actors are scary. ”......

Since "It's All Daisy's Fault" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", which landed on the screen in 2005, Ana, who has grown from a little girl to a slim girl, has reappeared and become the focus of popularity in the film market. In interviews, the media will mention her friendship with Ye Wei.

Anna told Entertainment Weekly that she is happy about what they have achieved so far: "I met him before he was 10 years old, and we all went from nobodies to now, which is really great. Of course I want to work with him on a movie, I've been looking forward to this for four years, and I hope to have that opportunity soon. ”

......

In the three days from February 17th to 19th, Ye Wei had a pleasant surprise, everything began on Chinese New Year's Eve to meet Lily at the Chinatown Yangcheng restaurant that he had made an appointment with Lily, and saw Lily holding Duoduo's hand and smiling at the door, "Surprise!"

He immediately laughed, and sure enough, when he saw that his parents were also here, he sent poor Toto.

Devil training is also only 6 days a week, leaving one day for the body to rest. The Spring Festival on the 18th happened to be Sunday, and his family and Lily had a day in Chinatown, and the flowers were the most enjoyable, with a grand lion dance performance, red envelopes and gifts, and delicious food.

On the second day of the 19th lunar month, he announced that he was 19 years old, and his soul was nourished by various blessings in the morning. During the day, he went to Carrington to train as usual, and after the disbandment at sunset, the group went to Chinatown for dinner and birthday cake, and his food continued to be green vegetables and rice......

In the eyes of their smiling faces, Ye Wei made a sincere 19th birthday wish to the cake: "I hope that every living being is free and happy." ”

Lily clapped, and Duoduo clapped her little palms as well.

Duoduo gave him a children's watercolor painting she painted, which depicted the scene of him and Lily taking her to Disneyland to play, very attentively, but the meaning was also obvious, "When will you take me again?" Lily sent several gifts, and returned to the two-person world of the hotel apartment after the birthday party, and she gave the most solemn one, the first single CD of the Silent and Starless Band that she secretly went to the studio to record, and the female lead singer We-are-your-Pobby-and-Dingan who changed the lyrics!

He didn't expect this gift, they composed this song together, but before they could get it done, she was preempted by her.

"I'm singing well, and my dad helps. Lily smiled as if he were a child.

Ye Wei immediately played it on the DVD/CD player in the apartment, and after listening to her sing a few words, the whole person was drunk and collapsed on the sofa, with a smirk on his face.

Lily walked over and sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and whispered, "But, I haven't thanked you for the song you sent me that summer, I really like it, I actually have a copy of it, I just don't want to touch that memory." Ye Wei kissed her tender red lips, "I haven't thanked you for many things, do we need to count?"

She didn't say anything and took the initiative to kiss him.

It was another beautiful night.

......

On February 21, FM2007 released patch 7.0.2, the latest player database was released, Ye Wei is no longer a free agent but a member of Manchester United's development team:

[Satisfaction:

The main emotion: a pleasure to join Manchester United

Short-term plans: There are no specific plans for the future

Coach Promise: No Comments

Good relationship: Think Paul Scholes is a good player]

As soon as the patch was released, Ye Wei was coaxed by players around the world, and the club's earnings would certainly increase for players with the highest reputation level of £1,000 a week. The transfer window is closed, Manchester United will not let go, Ye Wei can't look down on it, and if the transaction can't be made, then use the modifier. On the same day, some players used modifiers to call up Ye Wei's hidden data, and these spiritual attributes were still against the sky, and their ambitions were as high as 20......

The independent arbitration panel will hold a hearing on the complaint filed by Manchester United for Ye Wei on Monday the 26th and make a decision.

When the sun comes down on February 16-22, this week's North American box office champion belongs to the action blockbuster "Ghost Rider" starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes, which took in $58.96 million in 3,619 theaters, and the runner-up was "Bridge to Wonderland" with $32.64 million in 3,139 theaters.

In the past four weeks, "Winter's Bones" has gradually expanded from 308 to 308 companies, and the results are gratifying:

Number of theaters - average - weekly box office

452 - $7613 - $3,441,076

605 - $5382 - $3,256,110

713 - $4275 - $3,048,075

786 - $3612 - $2,839,032

It has already grossed $22,838,683 and is expected to surpass 28 million, overturning previous agency forecasts. This is still Ye Wei's lowest-grossing film, and the audience popularity has dropped to 78%, but it is also one of the most successful independent films in history.

Week 15 of "Lovely Bones" has only 120 theaters left, and it has collected another $1,936,319 in the past four weeks, for a total of $142,865,170 in North America.

Spotpass, which has been online for many days, is still in the initial promotion stage, with a large number of registered users and very few people investing in crowdfunding, and "Killer Hero" has attracted several fan investments totaling $2,000 because of the two actors. Lev, a spokesman for the site, told the Los Angeles Times: "We need time to build up more users and gain their trust." ”

On February 24, the 28th round of the English Premier League began, and Manchester United visited Fulham to win 4 consecutive victories with a 2:1 reversal. Ryan Giggs equalised in the 29th minute and Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 16th league goal of the season in the 88th minute. Chelsea, on the other hand, have postponed the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal to 14 March, with a game in hand nine points behind leaders Manchester United.

"They looked like they should have lost from the game, but they won. In his post-match press conference, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho didn't enjoy the joy of winning the Carabao Cup for long before he said of Manchester United: "They're just lucky. In their visit to Tottenham, Cristiano Ronaldo opened a 0-0 deadlock with a fake throw, and it ended up at 4-0. It looks like all the luck is on Manchester United, but that's football. ”

Asked by reporters about Manchester United's recent signing of Ye Wei, Mourinho was quite disdainful: "I don't care about Ye Wei, no one at Chelsea cares about him." ”

On the other side, Ferguson talked about Ye Wei a lot: "I told him before that it might be better for him to go out on loan and play for a while. But he said: 'I'm here to help Manchester United win.' Those who know him well know that Weige is a very confident and persuasive man, and I am very pleased that he is very hard working in the reserves. If I could, I would give him a chance. ”

Manchester United is now fighting on three fronts, the league, the Champions League and the FA Cup, if Ye Wei gets a labor certificate and performs well in the team, it is really not impossible to play.

However, on the evening of the 23rd, a paparazzi took a photo of Ye Wei coming back with a travel bag at the Los Angeles airport, obviously preparing to attend the Oscars.

......

On the afternoon of the 24th in Los Angeles, the 22nd annual Independent Spirit Awards will be presented in a makeshift marquee on Santa Monica Beach, hosted by comedian Sarah Sillman, and the show will be broadcast on Bravo and IFC.

It's a big event in the world of independent film, and it can only be nominated by independent films and independent filmmakers, which also makes it "star-starry". The five nominees for this year's Best Picture are "American Weapon," "Dead Girl," "Half Nielsen," "Lovely Bones," and "Pan's Labyrinth," with "American Weapon" $24,098 North America/$34,138 worldwide and "Dead Girl" $19,875/$905,291.

But that's why it's different from other awards. Because of its early registration, the nominations were announced on November 28, and "Winter's Bones" did not catch up, and TLB led the list with six nominations of "Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Screenplay".

As one of the bannermen of independent films, Ye Wei naturally wanted to attend, and he was buried by many people before he didn't go to Sundance to join in the fun. Not only will he win the prize today, but he will also promote Spotpass to his peers. Lily wants to record a game show, and she doesn't have time to accompany him, so she doesn't have to meet Liz, and when Lily sees it, things are unpleasant, although he and Liz are innocent.

The afternoon was sunny, and in the parking lot by the beach, Ye Wei saw Liz, her blonde hair and shawl, wearing a semi-formal blue top and black skirt, and holding a light brown fashion handbag. The last time we met was two weeks ago at the British Academy Awards, and the outside world said that they had visited Carrington, but in fact they didn't, they were just traveling on their own.

"Hey, Liz!" he walked up with a smile.

"Hello, Only, it's a pleasure to meet you. Liz walked in, looking not as smart as she usually was.

Ye Wei looked at her and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" Liz still looked at him with a little grievance, Ye Wei said in a deep voice: "You are not Liz, I can see that you are a certain guy who occupies Liz's body, you are not her." Liz raised her eyebrows and shrugged, "How so?"

He looked around at her and said, "Maybe it's like 'Mr. Jordan's Out.'

"Mr. Jordan" is a classic comedy of 1941, with 7 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, and won 2 Best Original Story and Best Screenplay, which were later transformed into Best Original/Adapted Screenplay. It tells the story of a boxer Joe who died in a plane crash and went to heaven, only to find out that it was the ghost who made a mistake, Joe should not have died yet, but his body had been destroyed, and the ghost had to let Joe borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul, and Joe was reborn in the body of Mr. Jordan, a millionaire who had just been murdered by his wife.

The story is so classic that it has since been remade twice and were a success, 1978's "Heaven Can Wait" (1/9 Oscar nomination) and 2001's "Return to Earth".

"Yes. Liz nodded and smiled, he had recommended her to watch it before, joking that "this movie is all about atheism". As she walked to the beach, she said, "You can see that Elizabeth Olsen is dead, I was reborn from Phuket, oh my God, are you Ye Wei, look up for a long time, I like your movies." ”

"I know you're angry that I didn't show up for your birthday party. Ye Wei sighed, Phuket (Phuket) is the word "Leah" in "Juno", which is equivalent to FUCK-IT.

"I don't want to, but ......" Liz turned her head and frowned tightly, "a volleyball? ”

Ye Wei looked around and didn't see a reporter, which was not a bad thing, so he took out a small gift box from his coat pocket and gave it to her, "Happy birthday, this is in person." ”

"Oh!" Liz hurriedly took the pink gift box and pulled off the ribbon knot and opened it, only to see that it was a monster pendant, she smiled and asked with interest, "What is this?"

"I don't know. Ye Wei also looked at the silver monster that looked like a bird, a dinosaur, and a sea monster, she liked monsters, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "A monster, maybe there is some powerful power, you wear it carefully." I hope you like it, but I think it's a lot more vulgar than volleyball. ”

"Thank you, I love it. Liz put the box in her handbag, "For others, smiling volleyball is more interesting, but for you, this kind of fun is not difficult at all." If you want to think of vulgar gifts, you will suffer, and the jewelry will become more interesting!"

"You know me so well. Ye Wei couldn't help but smile, "It seems that you took over Liz's memory." ”

"That's it. Liz also took out a small red brocade box from her handbag and gave it to him, "Happy birthday, this is in person." ”

"It's not a football, is it?" He took the box and opened it, took out the inside thing, a golden piglet pendant, and wanted to go for a piece.

Liz vividly talked about her mental journey: "I don't think about what to send you, think about it, what should I send Ye Wei? Then I thought that you love animals, and I checked that this year is the Year of the Pig in China, and you are a big pig bully, and I will give you this golden pig. ”

"Haha. Ye Wei laughed, and gestured with the golden pig to his neck, "Thank you, very kind, I can feel your pain." The problem is that I can't really wear it, can I? Liz took out the monster pendant he had given him again, and gestured to his neck, glaring, "What about me? Do I wear this out? ”

"I don't care about you. ”

"Then you can do the same. ”

The two laughed and walked into the beach, walking to the lively big tent in the distance, and the guests from all walks of life were entering the venue one after another.

Ye Wei was suddenly stunned, and saw that Nina was not far in front, she was wearing a semi-formal white waist dress and an orange handbag, and she should have also come to attend the award ceremony. Nina saw him too, and she waved her hand happily and naturally, and walked briskly, not in the high heels she was wearing.

"Oh... I went in first. Liz looked at him, strode away, said hello to Nina, and continued walking.

Looking at Nina who was coming, Ye Wei took a deep breath of the sea breeze, and didn't think much about it, but saw her open her hands, rushed over and jumped violently as if she wanted to hug him, in the past, she must have been hugged by the whole person, he was stunned, as if he heard Nina shouting, "Yunike!"

Nina jumped over with agility, smiling with a triumphant smile and pointing at him with a wobble of her right index finger, "Da

Ye Wei laughed, and didn't know what to say for a while, "Nina." ”

"Huh. Nina's slight laughter was still coquettish, "But." ”

The last time the two met was last year, when "Carrie the Witch" was first released, and it has been several months, and a lot has happened in between, especially her entry into the game. But looking at each other is nothing strange, it feels casual, and it seems to be a little polite, and now they are not a couple or single.

"I heard that you moved to Los Angeles, are you still adapting?" Ye Wei asked.

Nina nodded, "No problem, I mean... Toronto is my home, but Los Angeles is so nice, the best thing is this beach, I can come every day and bask in the sun, swim, and be awesome. She looked at him, "You're strong, it's time to cut your hair... I'll just say it casually. What about you, are you okay in the UK?"

"Good, I'm competing for opportunities. Ye Weidang didn't hear the first half of her sentence, and sighed: "It's so difficult, I practice half to death every day, and I eat poorly." ”

"I really didn't expect you to become a professional athlete. Nina puffed out a little unnaturally, "You know if it's been hard." Ye Wei smiled helplessly: "I have always known that this is hard, so I said that winning or losing is not important, and challenging yourself is the greatest fun." ”

"Alright, I don't want to hear your nerdy theories. She came out of her handbag with something, "I knew you would be there, happy birthday!" She gave him a palm-sized gift box wrapped in colorful gift paper, the apple curve of her cheeks smiled sweetly, and her warm apricot eyes were gentle.

"Thank you. Ye Wei happily took it, and when he opened it, it was a clay doll, a black-haired boy wearing a red jersey. Nina explained with a smile, "I've been making clay dolls lately, this is you, can you recognize it......?"

Nina remembered something, and excitedly took out a stack of photos from her handbag to show him, "By the way, my illegal photo album! These photos belong to me, it's fine, you can take a look." I want to thank you for your encouragement at that time, Discord and kindness, hehe. She helped with his gift box.

Ye Wei held this stack of photos with both hands, looking at them one by one, silent, seeing Nina walking on the highway and sitting on the edge of the road and bridge, so lonely and dangerous...... He suddenly felt a sharp heartache, his face flushed uncontrollably, and he had to hold his breath.

Nina's face also changed a little, and she whispered, "I know it's stupid, but it's fine." "It's not the dumbest thing I've ever done anyway.

"No, that's not stupid, that's not. Ye Wei gradually calmed down and smiled, "Very beautiful photo album." Nina suddenly asked, "Are you going to the Golden Raspberry Awards in the evening?" He looked at her calmly and couldn't help asking, "Who are you? You're not Nina, you're someone who took Nina's body?"

"It's me!" Nina was dismayed, "I'm just trying to see these things in a different light." ”

"If I don't go, don't go either. Ye Wei said seriously, "it, "Carrie" is not that bad, they are purely eye-catching, don't pay attention to them." ”

Nina nodded brightly in her eyes, "Oh, good." ”
