Chapter 333: It's Stupid

On the second weekend of the LMS's release, Ye Wei announced a bid for the adaptation rights of "Lovely Bones", and his spokesperson Leslie Dart told the media:

"Only love Susie, the first time he read this novel, he fell in love with this unfortunate girl. He wanted to film her story, which is why he joined the competition. It's just a fan of Peter Jackson, who has a lot of respect for Jackson, and they are moved by the same feelings, it's just ordinary competition. ”

It is reported that Ye Wei has begun to contact the original author, Alice Sieberd.

This incident set off a huge wave, which made Ye Wei's movie fans, Jackson's movie fans, and TLB's book fans all dizzy, with a string of exclamation points!!!!!

Some conspiracy theorists wonder if this is the joint hype of Ye Wei and Jackson, LMS is in theaters, "King Kong" is about to be released, and they are fighting for a bone.

The surprise of the media is due to many reasons, it seems that VIY is determined not to be a sunny boy, and the LMS project is in the front, but look at what he has been doing since then, TET, and then TLB?!

What was he thinking, did he take Jackson seriously?

And...... Won't he stop, even for a few months?

This is also what surprised everyone, but the reaction was different, VIY's fans were a little speechless, this is VIY, don't do things that are not difficult......

A large part of TLB's fans are unhappy, "Seriously, Ye Wei?", "He is a genius, and he makes very good movies, but how can he compare to Jackson!" There are also some book fans who prefer Ye Wei, without it, a genius boy shoots Susie, which makes people feel better than a bearded uncle who shoots Susie.

VIY is like Ray, Jackson is like Mr. Harvey, he is so perverted, before "The Lord of the Rings", the biggest understanding of Jackson was that he was perverted.

Jackson's fans also have several attitudes, one really wants Ye Wei to win, so that Jackson can go back to making blockbusters, and there is also a very angry and offended! VIY is really overwhelmed!"Jackson in "Angel of Sin" can shut up Ye Wei!", "Ye Wei has watched "The Corpses Play Across the Line"? He will be sawn into meat sauce like the zombies inside. ”

......

This weekend, the perfect rating of LMS was shattered.

Entertainment Weekly's renowned film critic Owen Graeberman gave it a C rating, dropping Rotten Tomatoes to 99% for freshness, the first time LMS has received negative reviews from mainstream critics:

"All happy families are alike. All troubled families, at least in the movies, are unhappy and funny - in different ways. If you feel like-minded from Little Miss Sunshine, you'll be able to enjoy this comedy that is destined to run on a sitcom slot and incorporates quirky characters with cute personalities.

Members of the Hoover family include an inept dumbass father (Tom Hanks), a man desperately eager to put his annoying "nine-step rule of success" to market, a saintly obnoxious mother (Julia Roberts), her gay brother, a suicidal Proust scholar (Tim Ross), her teenage son (Paul Dano), a man who hates his family so much that he hasn't spoken for more than a year, and Grandpa (Alan Arkin), a "I have nothing to lose" Just go to the grumbling people who smoke heroin.

I'm sorry, guys. But these are not living figures, they walk and talk along the director's index card catalog. It cannot be denied that, although this is the case, "Little Sunshine Beauty" has a special kind of creative zĂ o power of intelligence.

The family drives to Redondo Beach so that 7-year-old Oliver can participate in the "Little Sunshine Beauty" pageant, and the movie has its soul in a kind of "independent art" realism: a laid-back pace, a lovely series of road movie scenes, and a brilliant cast that can turn defects into gold.

The beauty pageant climaxes with sheer hypocrisy, when the movie laughs at the weird little whore-like contestants, but celebrates Oliver who does the same, and in essence, it's just what? yes, but more than that, it's not funny. 』

"Owen Graeberman bombards LMS, meaning Ye Wei shoots defective products?" - Hitfix

Graeberman is mean-spoken, and he is the only person in the film critics who disagrees, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bombardment, and it is very targeted.

It's not about the actors, they "turn waste into treasure (alchemize-schlock-into-gold)", they are very good, it's not even about the screenwriter, the screenwriter is "a little bit of idiosyncratic-plastic-cleverness", and the director? There is no mention of the director in the whole article, and there is no mention of Ye Wei.

But the whole article is not so much about bombarding the film as it is about bombarding the director, "independent art" is in double quotation marks, the actors are stored in the defective products, and even the soul is "synthetic", and the soul of the film is given by the director.

To put it bluntly, it means this: Come on, the reason why LMS is so successful is not because of the cast, or Ye Wei just made a pretentious sitcom.

As soon as this film review came out, it immediately aroused the anger of fans, because this is simply misinterpretation and nonsense! Or is it obviously biased, and it is destined to be not prejudice.

"Hey, are you sure that DeWynne hasn't spoken for more than a year because he hates his family so much? you know who Nietzsche is?" TheDude65 said helplessly.

SamurH retorted, "I'm sorry, Greyman, you're a bad guy. The movie laughs at the contestants? You're laughing at yourself, aren't you? Don't you see that Oliver is becoming them? But she hasn't, she's not celebrated, she's just transcendent from there. Alex-K was a little excited: "Your level is not as good as mine! If you want to scold VIY directly, do you need this? This movie review is pure hypocrisy!" ......

It seems that if someone makes a start, there will be a second, a third.

After Graeberman, "The Village Voice's Jim Ridley" also gave a bad review: "Like that waddling Volkswagen bus, the hapless characters drove it from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach." "Little Sunshine Beauty" is a rickety car that is about to fall apart most of the time on a downhill road. ”

The Orlando Sentinel's Roger Moore also gave a barely passing 3/5, with Rotten Tomatoes counting as a negative review, dropping the freshness rating to 98 percent: "Sunny or dark, comedy should never be as predictable as Little Miss Sunshine." ”

There are many ordinary viewers who are dissatisfied with LMS, 95% of the 75.38 million box office is favored, and there are hundreds of thousands of people behind the 5% conversion, but most of them can't accept Oliver's dance, think it's inappropriate, ruin the whole movie, and even scold Ye Wei for being perverted.

Because the film is "predictable" is really fresh, especially Oliver's dance, predictable!?

How did Roger Moore foresee that nothing would be liked by everyone, but seeing this inexplicable and prejudiced situation really made people who loved LMS and Ye Wei angry.

"Don't laugh at me!" Gia was poked in the laugh and laughed obscenely, "Hey, hey, hey, this really killed me...... What exactly was foreseen?"

Foresee the excitement on the screen, or foresee the current box office? Even the witches frequented by Emma couldn't predict it, and the most powerful one said "more than 50 million in the first week".

In any case, the perfect review of the LMS is no more, and the three bad reviews have one thing in common, the actors are wonderful, and the problem is the screenwriter and director, especially the director.

Maybe it's the public opinion that has frantically praised Ye Wei now that has caused some film critics to be disgusted, and then subconsciously picky when I go to watch LMS, maybe for other reasons.

Two of Entertainment Weekly's leading film critics have written reviews of LMS, the former being a perfect score review by Lisa Schwarzbaum before the release, and this one by Greyman, which is an addition to the release. In fact, his film critics have always had "mediocre" evaluations, and sometimes his ratings for some vulgar commercial films are higher than those of classic old movies, so he has been active in the list of "the most confused film critics" for a long time.

Speaking of racism, it's serious, Grey Berman is full of praise for Ang Lee and "Brokeback Mountain", he probably just looks at LMS and Ye Wei and doesn't like it.

Stephen King posted an article in the new week.

Last year, Stephen King published an article against a group of film critics such as Richard Colliss of Time Magazine, "What was once a reliable film critic has become very gentle - even soft-hearted, sometimes simply stupid." He said he was saddened by the fact that the movie's ratings had leveled off.

This time, the masters of horror make a different point, some critics are not only stupid, they can't understand movies, they like to grandstand! Yes, Owen Graeberman.

"People like Irving Greyman's idea that Little Miss Sunshine is a defective product make me wonder how much more connoisseurs are more appreciative than a random stranger I met at the cinema?

The media sighed that Stephen King has become Ye Wei's fan since he watched TET, and he is moved by it this time, and he really praises LMS.

It's not just the master of horror! The master of film critics, Roger Albert is also furious!

Albert rarely published a second film review for LMS! The old man is alone, "If You Want Money or You Don't Die", he was scolded by the film critics for giving him three stars, so it's not that he can't see others singing against him, he didn't mention Gray Berman or any of his peers throughout the article, but he didn't like enough in the previous film review, and this time he wants to praise the director......

People really didn't foresee that what was originally a kind LMS evaluation turned into a storm.

......

Peter Jackson was very surprised when he heard that Ye Wei was going to compete for "Lovely Bones", but he didn't have much momentum, to be honest, he didn't take it very seriously.

He hadn't seen LMS yet, TET felt average when he saw it, and if he took it, he would have "Maggie" screw his head off and then do a handstand, pouring out the internal organs from his neck. But Ye Wei is indeed a genius, he knows, this young man is very wild, he also knows, young man, he has not been wild.

Of course, he didn't ignore it, and almost immediately contacted Alice Siebold personally.

"Elle, we've been following this project for two years, and you know our sincerity. Ye Wei is a genius, but his existing ability and sincerity, I don't mean certainly, it is likely to be inferior to us. And in terms of budget, what is his budget? We're 60 million to 80 million, dollars, what does that mean?

This would set a record for the highest cost of producing a feature film, and nothing could be higher. "Lovely Bones" has become the most expensive feature film in history, which Ye Wei can't give you, I know Hollywood, he is very popular now, but he can't get this budget, only I can.

With money, you can make movies better, have you seen the preview DVD of "King Kong"?"

"You've seen it, Peter, you've made another epic good movie!"

"Thanks, it took 2. 0.7 billion, at least there are better special effects than the old version. The fantasy part of "Lovely Bones" requires a high budget to do well, which is also our most advantageous aspect over Ye Wei, one or two million can't do anything. ”

“...... I'm still going to meet with Ye Weijian and listen to his thoughts. ”

"Yes, of course, does he want to meet with you? I have an idea, we can have a three-way talk, we can talk, yes, next week. ”
