Regardless of single hall or multiple halls, the laughter of the audience is ringing in front of the screen of "The Wedding is Coming" in 106 theaters.

Columbia City also had theaters, so Kelsey came with a few friends, and she was still smiling a lot when she saw it for the second time, and the attendance rate was really good!

Just look at the poster in the theater lobby, that amazing and real slogan, no one is not curious!

An unprecedented prodigy, an unprecedented genius hilarious movie!

......

In recent months, Hanks has really had some ups and downs, and the highly-anticipated "Old Woman Killer" is rotten, and even he still can't go beyond Hollywood's iron rule of "strikeouts" - if he plays three bad movies in a row, he will be kicked out of the earth.

From the bottom of the industry to the current peak, he has always respected and believed in it, and "Old Woman Killer" is already the first time.

He also has two films this year, "Happiness Terminal" and "Polar Express", both of which are new works by big directors, and I thought that I would have to rely on them to throw good balls, but I didn't expect ......

"The Wedding is Coming", surprising reviews and box office tables, the original screening became a small-scale release, not only to make a profit, but also to greatly win back face for him!

The depression in Hanks' heart because of "The Old Woman Killer" is all gone, and some are just the joy brought by "The Wedding is Coming".

No one could have thought that Ye Wei could do this, he was no exception, no one could know what else Ye Wei could do!

At noon on Friday, the box office of the midnight show was counted, and Hanks received a call from Gozman, and he was really nervous, can the release continue to surprise?

"Good news!Tom, it's absolutely right for you to invest in this young man!" Gozman said excitedly, and before he could say anything about the box office, he had already praised Ye Wei: "He is an absolute golden key, I can't believe it!"

"How much!?" Hanks hurriedly asked, and when he heard Gozman's results, a smile bloomed on his broad face, "Absolutely!"

......

In June 2001, the sky was so blue, and 13-year-old Ye Wei graduated from Berkeley Hall School, and had already accepted admission to Harvard-Westlake School, a prestigious private school with a long history, a rigorous academic style, but should be full of fun.

He had a younger sister, Dorothy, who was only seven months old, who could not walk, could not speak, and babbled all day, and had a puppy named Toto, his idea.

I don't know when I saw that baby standing up and saying to Toto, "Toto, I have a feeling that we will never defecate in the open again." ”

He thought that he would say goodbye to many old friends and make a lot of new friends, because he didn't have many friends who went to Harvard-Westlake together, only Lev.

There are only two things in Lev's brain, one is a beautiful girl, the other is a non-beautiful girl, and Lev has neither of them.

And he just dumped a very beautiful one, dating for half a school year, and she didn't study Harvard-Westlake, he didn't dump him, sooner or later he would be dumped by her, and there were no girls in middle school? and he didn't want to step on two boats at a time, he was a good boy, so he had to break up. In fact, I have been annoying her for a long time, and I actually said that football is a soft egg sport.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the tree-lined streets of Brentwood, the two boys who had just begun to grow laughed out loud as they talked about it.

Lev said quickly: "My request is very simple, just be a woman, preferably with bigger breasts." ”

"I'm not like you, I'm very demanding, like a prom queen. Ye Wei was also imagining something, "However, she also has to be kind, cheerful, smart, and emotional...... I don't want a girl who doesn't like football, a girl who will call football football, but it must be spicy!"

At this time, Lev noticed a group of girls in the distance of the street, watched them enter the St. Martin school in Tours, and couldn't help but say, "Dude, the girls of St. Martin are so cute, why don't you get one so close to your house?"

"Please, what's the point of a group of nuns?" Ye Wei laughed and shook his head at his friend: "Poor guy, even the nun's idea is beaten." ”

"That's it. Lev sighed and changed the subject: "Do you want to do anything about the club in the seventh grade, or should we open a fun club by ourselves?" ”

"I'm not short of interest. Ye Wei looked at the sky and thought: "I have too many interests, I really don't know what I want to do the most, but I want to play, and we will know what is the most fun." So we opened a club, there is no special type, we can play whatever we want, and it is called 'Dream Chasing League'!"

Lev exclaimed excitedly, "That's a cool idea!

......

On June 4, 2004, it was the day before the graduation ceremony of the graduating students of Harvard-Westlake Middle School, the traditional "junior high school career day".

On this day, graduates can choose to go to one of more than 40 off-campus venues and spend a wonderful day to see how professionals work, so as to understand their aspirations as early as possible.

Ye Wei didn't have a choice problem, he obviously already had a career: filmmaker!

So he happily chose to visit the studio of Paramount headquarters, and last time he was Spielberg's assistant, but it was not very pleasant, this time he wanted to have a good trip. He was accompanied by a group of friends such as Lev, Bard, Chen, and Colwin.

At the end of the day, under the leadership of the instructors, they shuttled through the various studios and studios, which was really a good experience.

And the crew also saw the fiery prodigy VIY, like looking at a talking panda, almost pinching his cheeks, real people!

Many people also enthusiastically gave Ye Wei a business card, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future? He is like a big man, completely different from the last time he hid to the side because of "avoiding sight".

In fact, even Ye Wei has gained something today, he has seen more of the operation of Hollywood sets, and he has also learned a new jargon on the set, "penrier-meeting", which means a small meeting that is short enough to drink a glass of Biley mineral water.

In the future, when he was filming on the set, he would call someone, someone, and someone to talk about something together, and he would wave and say, "Come here, let's have a Biley meeting." ”

By 5 p.m., the group was about to leave Paramount headquarters, and the friends had a meeting with Biley by the Sign's Water Tower.

"I decided, I wanted to be a producer. Lev looked ambitious, "I don't have that talent as a screenwriter or director, but the producer is suitable for me." Guys, please call me Mr. Producer in the future. ”

"Photographer. "Colwin has long had a dream of speaking with the camera.

"I'm in charge of the logistics of the field, especially the catering!" Bud patted his chest with a fat face, and put forward a loud slogan: "Bud arrives, it tastes good!"

"I think ......" Chen Nuo seemed a little difficult to speak, "I don't think the set is suitable for me, I prefer the office ......"

Lev and Bard glared at him suddenly, what do you mean!? Chen Nuo hurriedly said: "The office of the film industry. ”

Ye Wei said seriously: "Without the office part, the movie can't be made, and it can't be sold." Noah, I'm on your side. ”

"Makes sense, makes sense!" Lev changed his tone. Bud nodded, "Just don't run to the Wall Street office, I hate Wall Street vampires." ”

"No, it won't. Chen Nuo said, "My wisdom belongs to the Dream Chasing Alliance. ”

"There are still three years of high school for us to figure it out. Ye Wei smiled and asked with interest: "At tomorrow night's graduation ball, you all have female companions, right?"

In the hearts of young men and women, the graduation prom is simply more important than life, but the graduation prom of high school is the most important, and the graduation of junior high school is often only a small or even no event. But this is Harvard-Westlake! Nothing is trivial, and the junior high school graduation is also very grand.

The graduation party is held in 2-3 venues from evening to 10 p.m., and includes dinner, dance parties, and entertainment.

"Uh......" The four of them all fell silent, looking at each other, oh, so you don't have a female companion.

"For God's sake. Ye Wei was speechless, "Do you have any intentions? I'll be a matchmaker." ”

"I have, brother, help!" Lev waited for him, almost rushed over and hugged his thigh and cried bitterly, "You must help me this time!

"Nobody thinks you're a lover, never. ”

......

On June 5th, the box office of "The Wedding is Coming" was released on the first day!

Looking at this box office statistics, the distribution staff in the ifc office cheered and high-fived, knocked out the golden egg, and flew out of a phoenix!

This also strengthened the management's determination to invest in publicity expenses, and Pretong each contributed 500,000 yuan, a total of 1 million yuan to do some Internet advertising and marketing, completely hype up the hot spots, and then release them on a large scale, only in this way will the potential be turned into the actual box office, so as not to lose the money that could have been earned.

Preton agreed to the plan almost without thinking about it, Hanks did not hesitate, and Gonzman, who had many doubts about Ye Wei before, did not hesitate, they knew when to spend money, now is the time!

It's not just ifc and Pretong who have earned, Brian and Leslie are very excited, seeing that they have one more big-name customer, or start working together before they become famous!

This proves their star-making ability, the outside world doesn't know what it is, but in the industry, the more powerful Ye Wei is, the more they are trusted by stars and investors, this is power.

Now anyone who sees Ye Wei will be greedy, if it is the Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", he will definitely shout: "Baby (precious)!"

......

At 10:30 a.m. on the 5th, the junior high school graduation ceremony was held on time at the Saperstein Theater.

The theater was bustling with graduates, parents, family members, faculty members, and some junior students who had come to join in the fun.

At this time, the old principal of Hednut and the principal of Heybrecht, respectively, had spoken, and when it came to the speech of the student representative, a black-haired boy walked out of the left side of the stage.

The audience burst into applause, almost every student was laughing and clapping, everyone knew who he was, and more than half of the 241 graduates were his friends.

He dominated the inaugural film festival, he led the team to a soccer championship, he was selected to the Honor Student Association (the most accomplished students are selected every May, a historic event in HW), and he greatly helped the badger team win this year's Jacobson Cup (the middle school teachers and students are divided into four teams, badgers, martens, otters and tigers, and compete each school year on a point-scoring basis, ranging from trivia competitions, sports competitions, fundraisers, etc.).

Student Council President, Rugby Team Captain, Basketball Captain, Prom Queen...... In this campus, no one can compare to his popularity!

Some people call him a school bully, some people call him boss, some people call him viy, and some people call him the chief bridesmaid, genius, old car leaf......

He is the most uncontroversial student representative of this year, and he is also a certain star in the history of Harvard-Westlake, and Shirley Temple will give him up as a prodigy.

Ye Wei!

The applause could not be stopped, and if it weren't for the school rules, the students would have been shouting and cheering.

Parents were amazed, remembering that at their junior high school graduation ceremony, how could the student representatives be so popular? Because it is generally those with excellent grades who speak on stage, and it is good not to be laughed at as nerds.

"Thank you, thank you. Ye Wei came to the podium in the middle of the stage, calmed the audience, looked at the people in front of him, and spoke: "I have heard a lot of beautiful descriptions of high school life since I was a child, pie duì, party, girls, stupid things...... Presumptuous youth, sweet high school. These do not belong to Harvard-Westlake. ”

"Haha!" the students burst into laughter, and the faculty members were amused.

"Sorry guys, it's a fact, high school means more of a challenge, and we're all going to get a college counselor each, you know what that is? ”

Everyone's laughter started again, Ye Wei shrugged, and continued: "But this is life, the difficulty of the game is getting higher and higher, are we ready?"

Three years ago, I just became a middle school student, and I was looking forward to it, but I was also scared, afraid that I wouldn't be able to make new friends, that my middle school life would be a mess. Maybe you are in this mood now, tired and nostalgic for junior high school, looking forward to high school and afraid of high school, my friends, don't be afraid.

Life doesn't give us much time to prepare, what we have to do is face it, and every time we overcome our fears, we become a little braver.

Like a bird that learns to fly, at first it will fall down, and as it flies, it will spread its wings and fly high!

Friends, whether it is Harvard-West Lake or not, we have ushered in the best time of our lives, we are all birds spreading our wings and flying to a higher sky!"

Ye Wei glanced at the classmates who were listening quietly, and his voice became more and more high: "Each of you is a unique one, and I can't represent any of you." Really, I know a lot of you, I know your stories, your dreams, none of them are the same, the same-

You, all of you, have power! One day, you will use your strength to fly, and then, your dreams will come true!"

He nodded in acknowledgement, and the theater burst into applause that was even crazier than at any other time, and students everywhere stood up excitedly, forming a frenzy!

"Guys, are you just applauding?" Ye Wei suddenly pointed at the microphone again, and shouted with a smile: "Is there anyone who hasn't been on the honor list once in three years?!"

The honor roll is also a major feature of Harvard-Westlake, which openly records the behavior of students, good and bad, like his "no" noise last year, and was fined for adding 5 hours to the cuttlefish operation, and he was on the honor list. It is difficult to be praised and punished, and the honor list should actually be called the "shame list".

Under the strict style of study, there are really many students who have not been on the list, and at this time their eyes lit up when they heard the words, viy said......

"Let's break the rules once, friends, and don't forget jì, we are already high school students!

Let's stop being an obscure person, we have a name, and our name, the world will eventually know!"

Ye Wei laughed and shouted, while swinging his body and dancing, "Let's dance!"

"Whew!", "Ahh

Especially the members of the Dream Chasing Alliance, at this moment, indulge themselves to the fullest, with Lev and Bard here, not worrying about the decibel is not high, and Colwin suddenly screamed, and regained his calm.

What is in the hearts of the teenagers and girls is ignited, exploded, go to its school rules, go to its code of honor, go to its honor list!

One after another, the loud waves were about to overturn the theater.

Looking at the scene around him, the old principal almost fainted, young man, I am too old to stand the stimulation! Principal Hybrechtze has to wonder if it is the right choice for Ye Wei to give a speech on stage, there are still many links in the ceremony, and there is no such response to the guest performances in the future......

Life is like a viy, you never know what will happen to him next time!

The teachers laughed helplessly, and the parents were also laughing, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao really didn't understand how to teach him a little bully since he was a child, haha!

And Teacher Ai Xi smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, quite relieved, she had long expected that Ye Wei would surprise the junior high school again before leaving, but from now on, it will be a matter of the high school, viy, goodbye.

In the future, the younger generations of students at Harvard-Westlake will hear about your legend, and when they ask, I will tell them that VIY has taught us a truth:

No one is perfect, but everyone can be very, very unique, as long as you dare to spread your wings.

viy, fly to the higher skies, the teacher is proud of you!

......

Under the bright night sky, the theaters showing "The Wedding is Coming" continued to burst into laughter, and the audience was amused by the images.

Los Angeles, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, in the huge ballroom, a pair of young men and women are dancing ballroom dance, bright lights, light music, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Proms are all formal balls, so everyone attends in their best formal attire, with a boy wearing a suit, tie or bow tie, a flower on his left chest, a girl with a long skirt mopping the floor, heavy makeup on her face, jewelry, and flowers on her right wrist.

The dance partners are not all graduates, because they can invite people from the lower or upper grades as companions, even from other schools. A dance partner is not the same as a dating partner, many are just acceptable dance partners, nothing more.

And it's not like movies and television, in fact, there are a lot of teachers supervising around, and there are a bunch of parent volunteers staring, at least here, no one can mess around.

But that was enough to delight the students, and Lev drooled and danced with a reluctant Connie, writhing exaggeratedly, in stark contrast to Colewin and Trist, both of whom were very quiet.

Not far away, Bud was on the shoulders of a graduate chubby girl, Pauline, who was holding his donut waist and didn't seem to move, while Chen Nuo's dance partner was an eighth-grade Korean girl, Yimei, who was a normal couple, dancing quite normally, and her glasses fell off and picked them up......

What a miracle, yesterday they were still each other's dance partners, no dance partners? Find viy! He has almost all the numbers of the girls in the school on his phone.

In the bright part of the ballroom, a couple wearing lilies laughed and danced, this was the first time Ye Wei and Lily attended a formal ball together.

"You're so beautiful. Ye Wei held her left hand with one hand, hugged her waist with the other, and looked at her eyes, no matter how she looked, she couldn't get enough of it.

"You've said it many times. Lily whispered, following his steps.

"But you're so pretty. Hearing the newly sounded dance song "You-Never-Can-Tell", Ye Wei suddenly thought of something, "Have you read "Pulp Fiction"?" Lily frowned slightly, and said angrily: "I won't read it." Ye Wei couldn't help laughing: "It's not about pulp fiction, it's about that movie." She sighed and laughed, "I haven't seen it yet." ”

"I'd like us to do a swing dance...... Show time!"

As he spoke, he let go of her, and on a whim he jumped up to John Travolta and Uma Thurman, swinging his hands in front of his eyes in a scissor-hand pattern, shaking his head from side to side, shaking his shoulders, twisting his ankles and buttocks, and waving his hands forward and down like swimming, looking cool.

"Hahaha!" Lily burst into laughter, and everyone around her was also attracted to laugh and cheer for him!

Ye Wei danced harder, his whole body swayed more, and he couldn't help but laugh happily when he looked at her smile all the time.

He danced until the song was over, and the ballroom sounded "anything-but-ordinary", and the audience immediately cheered, and the love of the young men and women became even higher.

"Sometimes I'm weird, I even numb myself, I laugh and coax myself to sleep......"

Ye Wei also ended the swing dance performance, rushed back in a few steps and hugged Lily, and with a turn of her hand, her body spun in a circle, letting out a crisp laugh!

With the fresh singing, with the passion of youth, the two danced to their heart's content!

......

I'm willing to do anything, but I'm not willing to be ordinary!

Time flies, when the screening week from June 4th to June 10th comes to an end, "The Wedding is Coming"!!

This prodigy movie did not lose its previous reputation because of its small release, with a freshness of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes (two critics gave it a 2/4 score, not that it was bad, nor that there was anything wrong, but also that it was a sweet spoof), the audience popularity was 95%, and IMDB also rose to 7. 7 points.

And its second week at the box office, the explosion!

With an average of 20,157 per theater, it grossed 2.13 million in 106 theaters, and the total box office rose to 2.21 million.

In one fell swoop, it rose to ninth place in the total box office for the week, and the average single restaurant was in second place.

The first is this week's winner, the newly released Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, with an average of 31,923,3855 theaters1. 2.3 billion. There is no comparison, and no one will compare the two films, "The Wedding is Coming" has its own world.

Its "rival" "Soul Dream Flying" has fallen to an average of 1,566 (-53). 3%), and "The Saved" also continued to surprise others, with an average of 19,364 (+3) per museum. 1%), and the total box office rose to 1.18 million.

Because the release strategy of "The Wedding is Coming" is to ride the craze, and its special makes it suitable for rapid marketing, it ......

In the third week, ifc expanded it to a medium size with 526 North American theaters (+420)!

At the same time, UA, the publisher of The Saved, was overjoyed to expand it to 589 (+558) for the third week, not wanting to miss out on the heat.

The costs and trajectories of the two films are so similar that it is impossible for the media not to put them together and say, what will they have in the third week? Who will win and who will lose? Will the miracle of "The Wedding Is Coming" continue? The media, fans and audiences are very concerned.

What many people don't know is that there is a talk show that has taken the initiative to have an "interest" in Ye Wei......

I'm willing to do anything, but I'm not willing to be ordinary!

What is ignited in the heart, exploded, go to its school rules, go to its code of honor, go to its honor list!

One after another, the loud waves were about to overturn the theater.
