Chapter 595: Happy New Year
On December 26, the UK is in the middle of a Boxing Day shopping spree.
Early that morning, Ye Wei and Lily left Surrey for the Chelsea borough of London, where many art galleries and antique shops form a strong cultural atmosphere, as well as those small shops that sell interesting gadgets. This is exactly what the two of them are interested in! Sure enough, they all gained something after a morning.
The pair took the tube to the neighbouring Fulham district to watch a Premier League Christmas clash kicking off at 1pm at Stamford Bridge, with defending champions Chelsea hosting a strong promoted Maredding. They sat on the old crowded subway benches, holding hands and snuggling up to each other, and the ten-minute subway was full of romance.
When he walked into the stadium with the lively flow of people, Ye Wei was very excited, this was his first time watching the Premier League live! Lily was also very happy.
Because he could become a Manchester United player, they didn't go to the souvenir shop to buy a blue shirt or scarf to wear so as not to be caught by the camera. Tickets have been booked in the SL2 area of the South Stand, which is the lower level of the spectator seat behind the goal, although it is not as good as the view from the bottom of the East Stand, but it is one of the best places to enjoy the atmosphere of the whole stadium.
It's just that many spectators in the east and west stands are tourists, while the north and south stands are almost all fans. The huge stadium with a capacity of more than 41,600 spectators is already full, and the two have just finished their burger for lunch when the game is about to begin!
“Go-Chelsea! Go-Chelsea! Go-Chelsea!” They watched the players compete, shouting and singing with the rabid fans around them. When Chelsea scored, they all yelled and shouted wildly, participating in this exciting cheer, how could it be so agitated to sit in the box?
The two of them watched the whole audience almost standing, and the cheering did not stop, and their voices were hoarse, but fortunately they were not singing. However, the game ended up 2-2 and was held to a draw by a promoted horse who played in the Premier League for the first time, which was a defeat for Chelsea, and the fans were very unhappy, and Mourinho was angry and blackened.
"I've found another good thing about London. When he walked out of the arena, Ye Wei put his arm around Lily's shoulders and smiled at her.
"Love football?" said Lily, speaking in a British accent, but deliberately saying Soccer.
"It's not. He said, and she asked, "What's that?" and he laughed, "It's natural to be a hooligan here." As he spoke, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. She is both happy and laughing, and people come and go!
......
On the night of the 27th, the two took a plane from London for a multi-day trip to Paris, France, to continue the second stop of the miraculous romantic journey.
From the 28th to the 30th, during these three days, they strolled along the banks of the Seine, visited the Louvre, enjoyed the night view from the Eiffel Tower, watched a show at the Paris Opera, shopped at the Champs-Élysées, went on an outing in the forest of Fontainebleau, left footprints in the small streets of the city, and kissed in those beautiful moments.
On the evening of the 30th, they flew to Brussels, Belgium, to prepare for the New Year.
The family members who are also traveling in Europe have already planned to meet, and the two have separated that night, Lily accompanied her mother, Ye Wei accompanied her parents and sister, Duoduo was eager to see this day, and she was happier to see her brother than eating a pound of sugar. On the morning of the 31st, the two families spent their own time and played together in the afternoon, which made them all relieved that everyone got along happily, and adults could find adult topics, and Duoduo was sticking to Lily, which was happier than eating two catties of sugar.
The two originally planned to go to Brussels Square to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks show in the evening, but under the coaxing and agitation of Duoduo, they could only act collectively, and did not go to the crowded square, but on the less crowded street nearby.
Duo Duo Qian told Wan to tell her that if she fell asleep before midnight, she must be woken up to watch the fireworks. The two of them don't live up to the trust, it should be said that he doesn't live up to the trust, and he carries this little kid on his back when she falls asleep. In the roaring sound, bright fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and Duoduo happily slapped his little palms: "It's so beautiful!"
With adults taking care of her, Ye Wei and Lily could look up at the sky hand in hand, the smile on their faces was peaceful, and they felt so happy in their hearts.
The crazy 2006 has passed, and the 2007 full of new hope has arrived! Every day with you is a romantic comedy of love and laughter.
After returning to the hotel to relax, Ye Wei sent a text message to Ji Ya: "Master Ji Ya, happy 20th birthday." ”
"Can it be a little more perfunctory?. Gia replied.
"Oh sorry, I forgot, and Happy New Year!"
......
The North American continent also entered 2007, and in the past 22-28 Christmas week, the North American film market exploded as usual with a total box office of more than $330 million. The new film "Wonderful Night at the Museum" won the championship with 79.05 million, while "We Are Marshall" failed unpredictedly, with a total box office of 17.03 million in 8 days.
"Dream Girl," which expanded to 852 theaters, continued to perform well, with $26,221 per theater to bring the total box office to 22.96 million, while "Dragon Knight" and "Charlotte's Web" continued to slump. The girl trilogy has its own journey, and "Soul Surfer" collected another $320,875 and was screened for a total of $93,062,976 over 11 weeks.
The 10 million production fee received 93.06 million North American box office, and although it did not break 100 million in the end, there is no doubt about the huge commercial success of SS.
This is the highest-grossing surfing movie in history, and the war of words between Ye Wei and the film critics caused by the film itself is also an indispensable part of the film media when compiling the 2006 memorabilia.
Just as James Cameron couldn't get the Los Angeles Times to fire Kenneth Turan, Ye Wei couldn't make any changes to the behemoth of film critics across the United States.
As many media have said, film criticism in the film criticism industry may indeed become less and less level, and it will become a film talk, which exists in name only. But the film critics industry is a solid industry that lives and rests with Hollywood, and its role is not only to write film reviews that ordinary audiences see, but also to the impact of awards season, film festival reviews, the writing of theoretical books, the release evaluation of studios, the needs of filmmakers to be appreciated, etc., scholars and film critics will not die, and one of the five majors of the USC School of Cinematic Arts is critical-studies.
Media fans can foresee that similar war of words will happen, but VIY's battle has indeed changed the rating system of Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, and has also made more fans understand the multifaceted nature of film reviews, and praised him twice.
Also this week, Week 7's "Lovely Bones" earned $3,152,647 in 1,016 theaters, bringing the total box office to $135,878,122. "Winter's Bones" grossed $1,239,180 at 15 stores with the highest average single theater of the week of $82,612, and the total box office rose to $1,542,288, and 35 theaters will continue to make fans suffer next week.
The year 2006 is very unforgettable, not only the girl trilogy, but also a bunch of rich and amazing private life news of idols. VIY in the first half of the year was bohemian, VIY in the second half of the year was mysterious, talking about this genius prodigal son, there is everything.
One of the latest VIY controversies is the recent popular YouTube prank video "The Day of a Big Pig Bully", some media questioned Ye Wei for overplaying, some feminist organizations criticized Ye Wei for not respecting women, and some parent associations accused Ye Wei's "beautification and bullying" of causing great bad effects on teenagers.
Why is it so serious? The netizens and viewers couldn't stop laughing. But Ye Wei said on Facebook on the occasion of the New Year:
"At the beginning, it was marked that "A Day in the Life of a Big Pig Bully" was an X-rated video, and children and people with undeveloped minds could not watch it. I refuse to accept all the accusations against me with propositions such as women and bullying, because ...... Well, given that YouTube doesn't have a video rating system, and there are too many kids on the web, and no one cares. Delete it, everyone who likes big pig bullies, I'm sorry, see you in the next video. ”
So people who want to do it again can't find the video!VIY filmed the channel, and recently deleted two super viral videos in a row.
Another gossip is Candace Akola's album officially released on the 26th, which has been well received by the music industry and the public on social networks, with countless fans tweeting @Yewei saying that his ad is playing well and that he is playing Some-Girls on a loop.
The do-gooders saw more intriguing lyrics, what does "I was the first person to knock you down by the door" in Started, and what does "Can I be your only one?"?
For the sake of publicity and marketing, Arcola could have said that "these songs are not me and his story, but he brings a lot of inspiration to my creation", but she did not do so and did not respond. This makes her new fans very anxious! If you want to hit the Billboard chart, you have to hype, scandal is a big weapon, how can she rush to the list without saying a word? How can she be a singer? If she tells the media that Ye Wei, who writes about the entire album, what kind of emotional injury she suffers, how infatuated and miserable, the bigger the hype, the better, and guarantees that many songs will be on the list.
The biggest gossip stems from the arrest of Nina Dobov for disturbing public order. After the news was exposed, the public relations explained that Nina was young and ignorant, thinking that the camera team had obtained the permission to shoot before participating in the shooting, and she apologized for the incident. Nina also personally wrote an apology on Facebook, saying, "I believe that everything bad will pass, and the future will be better." ”
The entertainment gossip media did not let go of this topic, Nina Ke is a new generation of red stars, and Ye Wei's ex-girlfriend, and there was controversy for a while!
TMZ contacted the local police station and received information that Nina had almost resisted arrest at the time, and the officer revealed: "She kept telling us that she was a movie star and asked us to let her go, which didn't work for us." Some media said "the reason for the breakup was exposed" and "another bad Hollywood girl?", but what was even meaner was "Fortunately, she is not Carrie", "Caught the wrong person, she is not Carrie", "She fell into the devil"......
And the ridicule of the VIY Girls Gang has also been raised, two of the core members have already entered the game, one is domestic violence, and the other is disrupting social order; Olsen and Ye Wei have filmed the mysterious "Foul Talk World"; Lawrence's performance in Winter Bones can no longer be simply called a tomboy, and his initial public image is also very arrogant...... It's all a thorn!
There are even online media who can't wait to announce that the future girl gang is also called "Bad-girl-Pack".
Seeing the detention photos of Nina exclusively exposed by TMZ, she looked haggard and held up her cards with both hands, and the most painful thing was her fans, this silly girl!
Do Weina fans expect VIY to say anything in solidarity with her "still good friend" ex? They were disappointed with the media who were looking forward to making news, from Christmas to New Year, except for the deletion of video statements and those "Merry Christmas!" and "Happy New Year!", Ye Wei did not say anything.
Where is he? There have already been a number of sightings of Ye Wei and Lily travelling in Europe on the Internet, and they also appeared together at Stamford Bridge to watch the game in support of Chelsea. Captured by the lens of the stadium photographer, the two who shouted in unison showed their affection again.
......
On the 1st of the New Year, Ye Wei and Lily got their wish in Brussels for a day, took a plane to Hong Kong, China at 7:30 p.m., transited in Helsinki, Finland, and arrived at Hong Kong Airport 13 hours later at 14:30 local time on the 2nd, and the Asian station of the miracle romantic journey began!
This time it was a really tight itinerary, China, South Korea and Japan had to go, but because Lily's mainland visa had not been processed yet, she could not go to Beijing, Shanghai and other places.
Lily is no stranger to Asian cities, having traveled with her dad on a world tour as a child and traveling with her mom all year round. This is not the first time she has been to Hong Kong, there is no fuss, and she is even more familiar than Ye Wei.
"This way. In the hustle and bustle of the terminal, she walked in front with a travel bag on her back.
"INTERESTING......" HE MUTTERED, "WHAT-THE-FUCK!"
