Fast forward to November, the 2o4 U.S. presidential election was held on the 2nd, George W. Bush won, and the White House will still be dominated by the Republican Party for the next four years.

And the cinema has just ushered in this year's Halloween schedule, and at this time of year, there will always be such and such horror films, and 2o4 has a lot of "oriental elements".

Sony's Japanese classic horror film "The Grudge" American version won the championship for two consecutive weeks, for its 1o60,000 production cost, two weeks to collect more than 70 million, breaking 100 million no problem, this is definitely a profit, it is foreseeable that in the next few years, Hollywood remakes of Asian classic thrillers will become a trend, as long as there is money to be made, this is actually from the 2 years of DreamWorks' American version of "Midnight Bell" The great success began.

However, the biggest surprise this year is not the American version of "The Grudge", but the B-grade horror film "Chainsaw"

With a production cost of only 2o yuan, the weekly box office is more than 20 million, although it has a mixed reputation in the film critics, but nearly 3% of the audience popularity of Rotten Tomatoes and an Indb7 score show that this chLT film is creating its own religion and is rapidly recruiting a large number of believers.

Independent filmmaker Lionsgate shines like stars, and a pair of 2-year-old creators from Australia, Chinese director and screenwriter James Win (Wen Ziren) and screenwriter Ray Warner, also made a stunning appearance. The talent shown by this pair of buddies makes them look promising, especially Wen Ziren, who has been praised as a genius in horror films.

Maybe the future won't be smooth for the two, but they've got off to a great start.

This year's Chinese directors can be described as explosive, including "Chainsaw", the previous two-week champion "Hero", and of course, "The Wedding is Coming", which gave birth to a prodigy like Ye Wei.

However, while Wen Ziren has attracted much attention, Ye Wei has become more and more silent recently, and he can't be seen in those professional movie market places, only in the entertainment section of the big newspaper, lace tabloids, gossip websites and other places, can he occasionally be found, who to spread scandals with, and who to date......

When it comes to movies, his last words were the joining of Alan Ha Kim two months ago, which caused a small reaction in the industry at the time, and then he was like leaving the world of filmmaking.

Except for the "Los Angeles Times" film edition of Monday's column "VIy Said", each issue of the article has never stopped, but this column has also shown a decline in popularity recently, it is not difficult to find out the reason, VIy's recent words are lacking in controversy, whether it is a film review, a half-film review, or various experiences such as acting, cooking, and even a diary.

Although it is still funny and humorous, it is a little less sharp and exciting.

Some readers have reported to the Los Angeles Times that they expect to see a man who says, "Film is dying," "It looks like everyone is going to be a predator," and "I'll never apologize for that...... VIy instead of saying "practicing yoga helps relax muscles", "the authentic practice of gong popping chicken", and "saved a cat today".

And his film reviews are still quite popular, and from time to time one article is enough to support the column.

The first film review, "We Are All Fools in Youth", has now been regarded as a god by fans and fans, and is regarded as the best film review of "Napoleon the Great", not an afterthought, but a prophetic support for Roger Albert when he gave a thumbs up, this chLT film has received more than 40 million box office, which is even higher than "The Wedding is Coming".

In terms of popularity, this is already the case, so some of Napoleon's avid fans still make fun of him: in front of Napoleon, the god of weddings is a mortal who sings praises

The two films are usually put together, and now the new awards season has started again, the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars are of course the hottest spots, and those awards that belong to young people and teenagers, such as the nTV Movie Awards, Teen Choice Awards, Children's Choice Awards, etc., may have a fierce battle, who does the best film belong to?

But the latest film review, "Captain Sky and Steampunk", was not very popular and didn't work, although VIy almost praised "Captain Sky and Tomorrowland" in the article, saying how cool it was, and even his friend "n" who didn't know what steampunk was was impressed.

However, seven weeks later, this sci-fi film is about to be drawn offline, only receiving a pitiful box office of more than 30 million, 46 favorites, and several overseas markets that have been released are also not good, but it is pitiful because its production cost is as high as 7o60,000, and the opening of 317o theaters is not like false publicity, it has lost a lot, a complete loss.

Director Kerry Curran, who was previously beautiful and a newcomer, but invited several big stars to star, fell from the clouds to the abyss and fell into a quagmire from which he could not get out.

Who will ask him to make a film, who will invest in him, and who will want to star in his next movie?

Kerry Curran seems to have no other choice but to make a completely independent film. He has a very, very high starting point, but he ended up with such an ending, the world still doesn't remember his name, and he is about to disappear into the long river of film history, which is embarrassing.

This is the cruel film industry, a work can go to heaven, a work can go to hell, almost all depends on whether it can make money.

The failure of "Captain in the Sky and Tomorrowland" is also VIy's first "failure" of recommending films, which not only makes many of his column readers, but also makes many of his fans quite disappointed.

Whether Ye Wei is crazy or not, no one in the outside world knows, whether Ye Wei is working hard for the new project, no one in the outside world knows.

The outside world can only see what can be seen, Ye Wei seems to be lost, lost in the near edge of Vanity Fair, indulging in pleasure, all his thoughts are on picking up girls, for a while this girl, for a while that girl, just not doing anything serious, just consuming his little fame, becoming a smaller and more marginal character, and finally disappearing silently.

Isn't it?Even his blog has been updated less.,Even if it's updated, it's not related to the movie.,"Little Beauty in the Sunshine" hasn't had new news for a long time.,The last post was a seemingly inexplicable sentence almost a week ago, "Damn, how do I say it?"Say what?

Is there any bad news to say? It really made his fans guess and worry.

At this time, a rumor suddenly appeared on the Internet: "The Little Beauty of the Sunshine was shelved, and the new prodigy film was cut in half"

The rumors were first reported by Yahoo Films, and as we all know, the crew of "Little Beauty in Daylight" has been working on casting, but recently the audition of "Oliver" was suddenly terminated, and the third round of auditions was originally held at the end of January, and as a result, all the small actor teams who passed the second round of auditions received a notice of suspension of auditions.

"We were told there was no third round of auditions, they didn't say why, they didn't tell us if we had a winner, they just told us to wait. The agent of one of the young actors, who did not want to be named, complained to reporters, "This is really a waste of our time." ”

According to the normal process, the third round, and perhaps the fourth round, and sample competition, will be held to determine the candidates, and the biggest possibility of abruptly terminating the audition is that the project is shelved.

This inference was admitted by an insider: "The script is too bland, the plots of the characters are too scattered, and everyone in the circle knows that the reason why the focus gave up on it in the first place was precisely because of this consideration." Ye Wei's preparations are not very good, his professional ability is not enough, the bigger problem is his attitude, compared to the preparatory work, he is more keen on dating and having fun, just like other ordinary teenagers. His sloppiness cost him the trust of Tom Hanks. ”

The rumors spread wildly, and various movie entertainment websites reprinted it one after another: "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" could not be filmed

There are many reasons, lack of ability, poor attitude, and image destruction...... To sum up, Ye Wei is no longer the genius who dares to hand over $6o to him, just a little playboy who can be eliminated at any time.

It can't be filmed, just like last year, it was also prepared, and it was all in shape but was suddenly stopped by the focus, this is a cursed project.

In today's Internet era, bad things can spread thousands of miles in an instant, whether it is in North America, or in Asia, this big bad news was quickly followed VIy learned, it was really a heavy blow to the honeys, how could it be a happy event for the blacks, and it was said

I don't know how much the little girl is anxious, how many fans are depressed, and there are a lot of anxious inquiries on the VIyR spoon blog, the official website message board and other places, and Kelsey Zhou, who thinks she is the number one fan, also left a message trying to be calm: "This must be a false rumor, do you think VIy will be sloppy? I only believe his official statement." ”

To be honest, many non-hardcore fans are really shaken, of course the previous VIy won't, and recently this VIy seems to be ......

And those ordinary followers, new informants, believe the words of the media even more, another person who became famous prematurely and was finished

Die-hard fans hold on to VIy Castle, waiting for their Sky Captain to return in p4o and crush the enemies outside the city. For a day, two days, the Sky Captain still didn't show up, he couldn't have heard this rumor, where was he?

Three days, there was finally new news, but it was: "It seems a foregone conclusion that "Little Beauty of Daylight" will be shelved, and the official website will be closed this morning"
