Chapter 162: An Outbreak of Hope
Shine, bloom!
""The Wedding Date is Coming" is the kind of good movie we say must see, and I want to talk about its creator first, Ye Wei, an incredible prodigy. β
On the TV screen, two film critics sit on the couch in the studio and talk about the new film of the week on the latest episode of the popular movie review talk show Albert & Rope.
Albert, on the left side of the screen, talks about "The Wedding is Coming" with great interest, a spectacle that cannot be left untouched.
Luo Pei on the right suddenly smiled: "There is no doubt that the prodigy, look at what he has done, directing, writing, producing, editing, starring, he has participated in almost every link." But at the age of 16! I don't think anyone has ever been able to do that. β
"Never. Albert nodded, a smile appeared on his old face, and said: "Ye Wei's appearance once again proves the infinite possibilities of movies. β
Roope continued: "Now it really feels like the beginning of a great legend, young man, well done. He smiled at the camera and then looked at his partner, "We both attended the premiere of "The Wedding is Coming", and I laughed about a ...... 50 times. β
"At first I was asking for the usual ones, and then it got higher and higher, but there were also 35 times, which was great. Its satire is really clever, throwing out a joke and everyone laughs, maybe the kids can't understand the deep meaning, but you can dig up something, which is the most lacking thing in spoof movies nowadays. β
"Talking about it. Luo Pei's tone was a little teasing, and he smiled: "There is another comedy that is close to spoofing this week, "Soul Dream Flying". β
Albert's expression changed, and he looked disinterested, "I don't need to talk about it, it's a waste of time to talk about it, and it's a waste of time to watch it." β
"Hahaha!" Luo Pei laughed out loud, "I agree, so "Soul Dream Flying" gets ......"
"A product of boredom. Albert said as he stretched out his right hand and gave a thumbs up to the camera, his old face expressionless.
This is the traditional evaluation link of the show, and it is also Albert's logo, and now of course it means: bad movies, not recommended to watch!
"Let's go back to "The Wedding is Coming" and watch its promotional video first. β
On the TV screen, an image of a movie was played.
......
"Soul Dream Flight" landed in 1,566 North American theaters on the 29th, and its film reviews have already come out.
"The Godmother of Pop" still has 23% freshness, and it, of the 29 well-known film reviews that have been published, only 3 have a passing score, and the freshness is 10%! The audience's popularity is only 51% of the same rotten, rotten, too bad!
is still the same group of film critics, but they are smiling and like old friends for many years with "The Wedding is Coming", and their comments on "Soul Dream Flying" are more than mean......
Cold! There is not a little bit of good face, and the words that are extremely mocking and spurned are almost like some deep hatred.
"The film's mentality of tirelessly performing black theater troupes sent it to a plunge. βββ1γ 5/4, Scott Fondas, Los Angeles Weekly
"There should be a vomit bag on the Soul Dream Plane (to make the audience vomit). βββ1γ 5/5, Bill Miller, Arizona Republican
"Sloppy, chaotic, vulgar, low-grade fun. Jesse Taylor's debut film can be called 'Airport Car Wash Edition Scream'. β2/5, Jeff Peverere, Toronto Star
"Amateur 90 minutes of fun for teens. βββ1γ 5/4, Claudia Pugh, USA Today
90-minutes-of-ama,teurish,adolescent-yuks!amateur, layman, naΓ―ve!
The 28-year-old Tylor, who has filmed a lot of hip-hop-MVs, was labeled with these labels, and these Lovett and others took great pains to get the film critics' appraisal of Ye Wei, but they came here, what's going on!? A movie with a production fee of 16 million and many well-known actors and celebrity cameos was scolded as a mess of stinky!
Actually, the reason is very simple, it just sucks.
No matter how the critics scold, they are elegant, and the comments of netizens do not have any scruples, just look at Rotten Tomatoes and other places, and you can feel the anger of most of the audience:
"What's wrong with comedy now, this kind of garbage dares to be released. "I used the whole movie back and forth with three or four bad jokes, and I couldn't see any fun!", "I laughed a few times because I remembered "The Wedding is Coming" I watched the day before. β......
Roger Albert simply didn't write a movie review for it, and he didn't bother to scold it, so he left it to the show to kill and pull it down.
Idiots, idiots, idiots!
A competition?"Soul Dream Flying" vs "The Wedding is Coming"!?
How many film critics and ordinary viewers who have watched both at the same time gave a thumbs up with disdain, get out, compare the two movies, that is an insult to "The Wedding is Coming"!
One needs to use a vomit bag, and the other needs to use a belly pain medicine for laughing and hurting the stomach.
......
Seeing these terrible reactions from the film critics, none of the creators of "Soul Dream Flying" are not blue-faced, damn, damned!
The real teenagers got a round of applause, what a great prodigy, that's a bad movie remake! Their film is scolded for being amateurish and naΓ―ve, so funny, the airport car wash version, what does it mean, discriminating against black people? Cheap and shoddy? The problem must be that the world is crazy!
Tom Arnold is stupid, Kevin Hart is stupid, but he acted in a big bad movie as a rare star, if the box office is not good, how can he have the opportunity to star in a film with tens of millions of production fees in the future? Maybe he will have to mix back into TV movies......
It's okay, the "Screaming Laughter" series is not a scolding department, and the department is crazy about the box office, and the voice of the film critics can't affect the spoof comedy!
However, when seeing the dismal opening day box office figures, producer David Rubin was also stupid, and producer Paul Hal almost vomited blood, and now he will definitely lose a lot of money, it's over!
They know the rules of Hollywood, the day before, they were producers of multi-million cost projects, and they had a place in the middle and lower reaches of the industry, and now, their production reputation has been hit hard, and they have been expelled to the very edge of the industry, so to speak, and they have been eliminated.
Jesse Tello is dumb, and he doesn't understand how things happened like this, how his hilarious masterpiece will become the foil for "Biaozi" raised by "The Wedding is Coming"?
What the hell is that!
......
"Hahaha!"
At night, in 13 Cinemas, the theater of "The Wedding is Coming" continued to resound with laughter, and the 400 seats were full.
Most of the audience members are also followers of VIY, and many people were on the fence before, but the praise from the film critics gave them confidence and greater interest, so they came to see it.
Others are mobile moviegoers, and it's no surprise that the IFC distributors have put a conspicuous 100% freshness label on Rotten Tomatoes on the poster of "The Wedding Is Coming" and the words "Absolutely hilarious, Roger Albert gave it four stars!".
The jokes on the big screen made the audience happy, Kelsey-Zhou's family of five was among them, her family laughed, and she laughed very happily, although she has always had a very high confidence in her idol, but it was really a surprise!
I was surprised by his achievements and the good-looking of the movie, I really didn't expect it to come to this point!
She suddenly remembered Viy's reply to her:
"Don't give up on your dreams because of what others say! Everyone's life can be a movie, as long as you never give up in the dark moments, a happy ending is not far away. When you are brave enough to face your life and chase your dreams, you are already a movie star. β
Viy, your dream has come true now, it must be wonderful.
Listen to those laughs and look at the huge you on screen, you're a superstar!
Your black hair, black eyes, are so deep!
......
When the big screen played "Thank you for watching, bye!", the theater burst into warm applause and cheers, and Christine, who was in the middle position, also clapped her palms, with a tireless smile on her face, and her eyes flashed brightly.
Michael Angelano next to him was also smiling and applauding, but he felt that something was wrong, Christine obviously admired Ye Wei, she laughed more tonight than they had since they dated, and she also said a few times that Ye Wei was "really cult", cult!
After the end, the two left 13 Studios to pick up the car and drove on the road, and Christine in the passenger seat still curled the corners of her mouth, chuckling from time to time, as if she was reminiscing about the movie just now.
"What's wrong?" said Angelano, who was driving, at last.
"No wonder the film critics praise Ye Wei, that guy is really a genius. Christine praised, "What an outlier, his films are really well done." β
Angelano couldn't be happy when he heard his girlfriend praise a boy of the same age like this, and his face showed some dissatisfaction, "That's it, the film critics exaggerated because of his age." β
"Michael. Christine looked at him and asked, "You are also 16 years old, and you are still a few months older than Ye Wei, can you make "The Wedding is Coming"? No, can you make a professional short film?" β
Angrano held back for a while, and then said unconvinced: "I've been acting in movies since I was 8 years old, and now I have been in more than ten movies, I'm not a genius, and I'm not a naΓ―ve ghost." β
"So you're not a genius. Christine said that Angrano was speechless again, she looked at him, and always felt that he was very talented, very good at acting, and aspired to be a director, but now she suddenly felt that he was not only mediocre, but also boring, and he couldn't even fight.
When she thought of the charity gala, she felt more and more intense, and couldn't help but say, "Tell me a joke, make me laugh immediately." β
"What are you talking about......" Angelano was stunned, and said a joke for no reason.
"Forget it. She shrugged slightly. Angrano's voice was a little more angry: "You mean Ye Wei can make fun of you at any time?"
"I didn't say that, I just wanted to hear a joke. Christine suddenly remembered something, took out her mobile phone, and said, "By the way, I have his number, let's try it." She sent a text message: "I just watched your "Marriage is Coming", yes, but I didn't laugh enough. β
After a while, she received Ye Wei's reply: "Thank you, did you buy a ticket to enter the venue? It's not expensive to spend $5 to watch an Oscar-level performance." β
"Huh. She chuckled when she saw it, and raised her phone to show Angelo, "He can really do it, one text message, three laughs." β
Angrano drove "intently", with a blank face.
......
On the TV screen, on the DADT channel, Luo Pei asked with a smile: "Roger, it's time to judge "The Wedding is Coming", we all like it, so is it recommended for the public to watch?"
Albert gave the camera a serious thumbs up and said, "As long as you want to laugh, I recommend you to watch it." Whether it's a comedy or a spoof movie, it's a successful masterpiece, and its charm is worth going to the theater to see, laugh at, and watch the prodigy's performance. β
"It's really rare. Luo Pei smiled and said, "Ye Wei really gave the world a shock, and I look forward to him bringing us more in the future." β
Albert put down his thumb, "Well, we'll have to talk about 'The Day After Tomorrow'." β
In front of the TV screen, Jeremy "Peter Pan" Sumpter looks incredulous, hell......
......
You are a fire that can burn the whole world!
When May 28-30 passes, the dust settles on the last weekend of May!
In the newly released weekend box office rankings, the first place is "Shrek 2" in the second week, 72.17 million, the second is "The Day After Tomorrow" in the first week, although its reputation is mixed, it may as well receive 68.74 million, and the third place is "Troy", 11.95 million.
Then the fourth and fifth places are two new bad movies "The Godmother of Pop" and "Soul Dream Flying", 10.98 million and 5.64 million, two failed loss-making works.
In 50th place is ...... "The Wedding is Coming", which was released in 1 theater and received 36,381 box office!
What is "Soul Dream Flying"?3,606 in the first weekend, "Ten Yards"?2,518, and "Old Woman Killer"?7,981.
Although they are both large-scale releases and cannot be directly compared, "The Wedding is Coming" is not a documentary, but a spoof movie with great commercial value, and it is not limited to the perspective of minorities, PG-13 rating, suitable for everyone!
can get this box office figure, and can maintain 100% Rotten Tomatoes freshness, 95%+ audience favorability, and IMDB7. 5+ points, and the potential of a prodigy and the American Dream......
This means that the dawn of a miracle has illuminated the sky.
Even if there are no 100 in the second week, and there can't be no in the third and fourth weeks, it's all money! But now, it's next week! IFC has decided to expand the scale of screenings to 106 first-round theaters in the next week, all over the major cities in the United States.
A door has been opened to Ye Wei and "The Wedding is Coming", and that door is called, Release!
Erupt, erupt, erupt!
You're shining!
Without investing any publicity money, the opening of a single museum is more than 30,000 yuan, and Gary Gozman's heart is fluttering, 3 million!? That's more conservative than the nuns in Utah! He is now thinking, can it reach 8 million? or even break 10 million?!
Don't be too happy, it is not ruled out that it is because of the Asian American group that there is this number, this group lacks follow-up force due to the small number of people, so think 5 million!
It also depends on what overall performance it has in the first and second weeks, especially where the power of the small-scale release in the second week can go......
IFC is looking forward to it, Pretong is looking forward to it, and there is no one who is not looking forward to it!
......
Despite having such a behemoth as "The Day After Tomorrow", the media will not miss the outbreak of genius teenagers, and viy news has always been very good! The film reviews of "The Wedding is Coming", the character reports about Ye Wei, and the box office tracking ...... According to Chen Nuo's incomplete statistics, "prodigy" has become the hottest word in the film industry these days!
"Do you know that movie prodigy named Ye Wei?"
"Yes, that's amazing!"
Los Angeles Times, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, ......
When you open your hands, you embrace the whole world!
"The Wonderful Movie World of Prodigy VIY", in the hall of the room, looking at the pictures and news of Ye Wei in the current affairs edition of the Los Angeles Times, Tavorman really didn't know what mood was good, this young man still succeeded, more successful than she and Phil's "bad intentions" thought, and nothing could stop him.
The sound of going down the stairs was heard, and soon, Tavorman saw Lily, dressed up, in a light blue shirt and white dress, holding a handbag, obviously going out on a date.
Today is Monday, and it's also a public holiday (Memorial Day), the school is closed, and the family doesn't attend the event to commemorate the soldiers.
Tavorman asked, "Honey, going out?"
"Hang out with Yui. Lily answered, her eyes glancing and asking, "What about the Los Angeles Times movie version?"
"I'll see. Tawoman flipped through the thick newspaper and pulled out the movie version to give it to his daughter, but after reading the article "viy said", he suddenly stopped, and his expression became a little strange, as if he was smiling.
"Give it to me, show me first!" Lily was very curious when she saw this, how could her mother have such an expression, but what was she writing?
She snatched the newspaper and read it while standing, this issue of the article is called "Remember My Incredible Ninth Grade", looking at his words and feelings, she smiled, and liked the sentence "Life is like a movie, but the ending is created by us." β
I didn't see a joke about Anna Sophia, the only one that hasn't been there so far, and at the end he wrote: "I wrote a poem dedicated to the incredible ninth grade:
She held my hands when I was scared
When I was lonely, she sang beside me
She smiled brightly when I was happy
My heart is intoxicated
Ha, look at what I see, a hundred flowers bloom in summer, and a hundred flowers wither in autumn, why, I see that everything in the world is lilies?
Lilies, because of you, I have a qiΔ"
Lily's face turned red all of a sudden, and her ears were hot, maybe in the eyes of others, this is just a lyric poem, because "she" can refer to youth and dreams, and the final lily can also be used to describe youth and dreams through the language of flowers...... But she knew it was a love poem for her.
What was he doing? She was at a loss, her heart was melting, her heart was scared, beating so fast that she gasped slightly.
"Lily......" Tavorman sighed in his heart when he saw his daughter's cowardice in love, but he smiled encouragingly, and said softly: "Everyone's life is different, and every relationship is different, what you can do is to seize the present and accept the opportunity, okay?"
Listening to her mother's words, Lily gradually grinned, and the warm sunlight pierced through the wandering dark clouds, and nodded heavily: "Okay! I know, okay!"
......
Seeing the innocent figure coming out of the house, on the driveway outside the lawn, next to the Volkswagen car, Ye Wei smiled and waved his hand, "Good morning!"
"Good morning. Lily greeted with a smile and hurried over.
When she arrived, Ye Wei opened the car door for her and asked casually, "Did you see it?"
Liliha laughed, her eyes full of light, "I saw it just now, it doesn't rhyme much." Ye Wei spread his hands helplessly, "Mind, the most important thing is mind!" she said with a smile: "Then you can't care less about the rhyme." β
He shrugged his shoulders and said like a bard: "Okay, okay, now I'll improvise another song, the cold winter has long passed, spring has become a memory, it is the height of summer, and my favorite lilies are blooming" Lily's laughter interrupted: "Don't rhyme............"
"I just wanted to tell you. Ye Wei stopped the poem, put his arms around her, his forehead touched her forehead, and looked at her heroic thick eyebrows and shining star-like eyes, "You stole my heart." β
Lily suddenly kissed him, but, I love you! She didn't say it, no matter what the future holds, now, she loves him, really loves, really loves!
Because of that agreement, the two haven't kissed for a while, and now that the movie is out, the film reviews and the box office of the first weekend have also come out, full of hope, and it also makes the hearts of the two youths burst into burning passion, there is nothing to express at this moment, only a long kiss!
The two hugged tightly, he kissed her, she kissed him.
Because of you, the color of success, is so beautiful!
