Chapter 304: It's Time to Introduce Me
Xavier Doran Tedros, born on March 20, 1989 in Quebec, Canada, is the son of French-born, actor and singer Manuel Tedros and teacher Jennifer Doran. Xavier has been active in the film and television industry in the Canadian-speaking region since the age of 5, and has shown great cinematic talent.
In 2008, he worked as a director, screenwriter, first producer and actor to shoot the script "I Killed My Mother" written at the age of 16 (production cost 800,000 Canadian dollars).
After its premiere at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, the 20-year-old received an eight-minute standing ovation from filmmakers from all over the world, and won the Directors' Fortnight β French Society of Authors and Composers Award, the International Association of Art Cinemas Award, and the Young Sight Award.
The film was subsequently sold for rights in more than 20 countries. Best Film Award at the Vancouver International Film Festival, Grand Prize at the Zagreb Film Festival...... Represented Canada in the 82nd Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film nomination......
A few years ago, during a movie storm, some media put forward an assumption that Ye Wei had not suffered injustice? If he was a white child, what would he be praised for?
With "I Killed My Mother", a very niche European β΄β-style French literary film, Dolan was like a new king and was frantically praised by the film industry, favored by awards, sought after by the media, and the film critics shouted "a different sense of depth", "He only made this movie when he was 19 years old, unbelievable age", "Talented newcomer", ......
Genius! Genius! Genius!
Dolan definitely deserves this title as well.
When some media talked about his friendship with Ye Wei to the film genius, and mentioned a scandal between the two a few years ago, he said, "I think about it." My dating door is always open. β
Xavier Dolan, he's a gay coming out.
β»β»
"Sure, Ye Wei is gay!"
People walk in the entertainment industry, and it is not surprising that they are said to be gay by the gossip media, it is just home-cooked food, which celebrity has not been said to be gay?
Because Ye Wei is young, he has not been said much, and it is the first time that it is said to be so similar to the report of the "National Inquirer", it exposed a set of photos, taken some time ago, Ye Wei and a mysterious white teenager had a secret meeting on the streets of Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and then entered the Jiraffe restaurant for dinner.
Although it is not as hot as restaurants such as "The Colander of the Main Road", Jiraffe is still a famous restaurant famous for French Californian cuisine, and from time to time there will be paparazzi to wander there.
After doxxing by the National Inquirer, it was determined that the man's name was Xavier Dolan, 16 years old, an actor/voice actor from Quebec, Canada, Rupert Grint from "Harry Potter" was his role, and Ye Wei from "The Wedding is Coming" was also played by him.
According to insiders, Dolan is gay, and looking at the two of them again, laughing, talking, looking at each other, gesticulating, very happy, obviously falling in love together.
"Homosexuality is a gift from God, two young people, come out boldly!" commented the National Inquirer, "Your love will be blessed!"
Ye Wei's team responded quickly and harshly to this gossip, "Weige and Xavier are just ordinary friends. They have been in touch since they met at the Toronto Film Festival last year, and that day Xavier came to Los Angeles, and they got together and talked about film. Only a girlfriend who has a stable relationship. β
Although Dolan's agent avoided talking about Dolan's sexuality, he also made it clear that "they are ordinary friends." β
The teams of the two sides threatened to jointly sue the "National Inquirer" for false reports, because of the age of the parties, there is a great chance of winning if they tell the truth, but it is also getting bigger and bigger, and the two sides actually want a clarification.
A few days later, Bill Dryton, a reporter for the National Inquirer, responded in surprise and innocence: "It's just entertainment, why would anyone take it seriously?"
The usual shirk style of gossip tabloids.
Of course, there will be people who take it seriously, and far more people have read the report than have read the clarification, which has caused some irreparable bad effects.
Not to mention that some overseas media, especially those who pay special attention to Ye Wei, but do not know or report clearly what the nature of the gossip tabloid is Chinese the media has a lot of news quotes "according to US media reports", which makes more ordinary netizens who believe in it when the "US media" is tabloid stunned, Ye Wei is gay!?
However, the blacks were pleasantly surprised, no wonder Ye Wei praised Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" as "a touching and heartfelt perfect love movie" after attending the Telluride Film Festival last month, and praised Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal's performances as excellent as "making people cry", it turned out to be a group of perverted faggots!
Wei Mi was shocked and unacceptable, just said that the Hahan clan is a bit of a sissy in any cave artifact, and Brother Wei can knock them all out, and it is revealed that Brother Wei is a, which is ......
Only rotten girls will cheer, but Brother Wei and Xavier-Dolan are both good-looking, one is tall and the other is short, they are really a natural pair!
And on the English network, because they are familiar with what gossip tabloids are, except for the malicious attacks of the blacks, most people don't believe it, and the hardcore people of viy don't believe it.
This kind of Cheng DΓΉ's "scandal", bad boy viy has had trouble with many actresses, it's no secret that he is popular with girls, and a girl model once expressed to the media that she wanted to date Ye Wei, "He is the kind of person who even if you hated him before and never had feelings for Asian boys, but after an hour with him, you will fall in love with him."
Although it was suspected of self-hype, Ye Wei didn't date her later. However, compared to Dolan, he and Emma Roberts are much closer to the photos, and there are piles of them, and they are suspected of having a relationship with Kristen Stewart. He has always admitted that he has a girlfriend, but the outside world doesn't know who it is.
So the news became more of a joke, "I determined with my 100% accurate gay radar that Viy is not gay, Dolan probably is." "They didn't even drag their hands. "It's stupid!viy and Emma Roberts have been dating for a long time. β...... Master-GIA's message "Hahahaha, this is going to make me laugh." β
"There is only one case where Ye Wei is gay, he is a girl. Niloveni left a message saying, "Rumor-mongers go to !!"
"Boring. When a certain thick-eyebrow girl heard this, she was not interested.
Recently, Ye Wei's private life gossip is not only homosexual, but also said that he has to see a psychiatrist because of his emotional collapse, because the quality of LMS is not very good, coupled with this turmoil, the insider revealed that "he doesn't know what to do at all, he regrets his remarks at the appeal meeting, and is afraid that it will be detrimental to his career, he asks people everywhere, 'I'm fine, right?'"
It was also said that Ye Wei's academic performance could not keep up, and he was about to drop out of school, but the insider said, "Wei thinks that going to school is a waste of time, and he feels that he has learned enough." β
It's all rumors that can't stand up to questioning without evidence, and it's all scandals! Suddenly, there is a surge, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a problem, is it the propaganda of LMS?
Scandals are a powerful tool for movie promotion, and sometimes a moderate scandal can be used to achieve miraculous results. But now it's done like this, it's clear that it's going to completely stink viy......
What makes everyone a little puzzled is that Ye Wei's team said very little, and Ye Wei himself said very little.
β»β»
In this regard, the turbulent undercurrent also feels wrong.
"It's not right, it's too calm on the opponent's side. In terms of private life, it is not surprising that Ye Wei should really have a girlfriend, and it can be solved if it is announced. In terms of his career image, their reaction is not normal, and they don't say anything? Leslie-Dart and Ye Wei are not this kind of people. β
"They didn't say anything more about the ratings, as if they were waiting for us to finish the matter and then turn it around, where did they get their confidence?"
"I think it's the quality of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and MPAA also said that its quality is very high. β
"Why shouldn't we let the negative public opinion intensify, what good is it for them? What could be something we don't know about?"
"I asked the client, but there was no new information. β
"Do they have an investigation?"
"There was no time, and they asked us to hurry up and finish it, and not even to continue with the negative publicity. Leslie Dart may be going to fight back with the film's word-of-mouth, and DreamWorks is about to hold a critics' preview at any time, and it has to be over. β
"Soon it will be Halloween, and we will shift the focus from Ye Wei to Yunik Kuller, the director of "Exorcism Video". β
"There's no better person than Yonick Kuller. β
The focus of attention should be shifted immediately, from MPAA to Ye Wei, from Ye Wei to another person, as soon as it shifts, what is left to Ye Wei is a mixed reputation and public impression, LMS will be released with these negative effects, no one knows what the effect is, but its box office and award prospects will be damaged, this is already a complete victory.
The reason why Yunik Kuhler is the best candidate is because he is also a rating victim and is easy to transfer, and the second is that the arrival of Halloween has made horror films the hottest in the market, and the overseas distribution of "Exorcism Video" has been put on the string like an arrow, whether it is transferred or not, Kuhler is heating up again.
The third is that this guy is a faceless person, at most he says something on the blog to attract short-term attention, and this turmoil moves to him, and as soon as Halloween passes, the matter is over.
Fourth, Kueller seems to have a good relationship with DreamWorks and Ye Wei, and using him to criticize Ye Wei will only make people feel selfless.

In this week, "Little Sunshine Beauty" was re-submitted for review after revising the language problem, and MPAA quickly rated PG-13 this time, and the sexual talk was changed, and the sentence Bitch and that Bastard were also changed, and the ** in the non-erotic-erotic context was used four times, ** and religious exclamations were not changed.
This rating turmoil finally ended in a "victory" for the MPAA, but the follow-up turmoil continued.
Now what people are most concerned about is not ratings, not how rotten the MPAA is, because there is nothing to say, the rights and wrongs of the incident itself have long been decided, and the MPAA is stubborn and doubles as a shrinking turtle in the end, and no company is willing to join forces to do things, so it can only be like this.
The follow-up focus is on Ye Weina! There is no stop, there is a dark force that wants to beat him into an arrogant, stupid, superficial Steve-Bing degenerate genius.
"At least 10 million people hear and see the F-word -MPAA"
This sentence has become another personal quote of Ye Wei, and it has been targeted by secret forces, interpreted and promoted in another way, published in entertainment media such as the New York Post, scattered on many websites focusing on film news, interviews, rumors and new film reviews, as well as those social networks that follow this turmoil:
"VIY's "Little Sunshine Beauty" box office declaration!"
The ratings of other countries and regions are different, 10 million people refers to the United States, even if North America is good, how much box office will it take to get 10 million people? The average ticket price in North America in 2004 was 6. 21, although LMS has many stars, it is not a blockbuster, the ticket price will only be a little more expensive, and the discount is counted, take a whole number, and it will take about 100 million US dollars at the box office!
$100 million at the North American box office!?
This is what Ye Wei expected in his heart?
There are Hanks, Roberts, Streep...... However, movies are never a 1+1=2 game, and having superstars does not mean that there must be a box office, and it is so difficult for "Hawaii Money Game" to collect 10 million to go to the moon. There is publicity, there are hot topics, and there are fans?
2003, "Mona Lisa's Smile", Roberts + Dunster + Stiles, Times Drama, PG-13 rating, Sony distribution, 63.86 million North American box office.
2004, "Old Woman Killer", Coen Brothers + Hanks, crime comedy, R-rated, published by Bowei, 39.79 million.
2004, "Happiness Terminal", Spielberg + Hanks, comedy/drama, PG-13 level, DreamWorks release, 77.87 million.
2005, "Escape from Clone Island", Michael Bay + McGregor + Scarlett, sci-fi action, PG-13 level, DreamWorks release, 35.81 million.
Even if it is Warner Bros.'s "Ocean's Twelve" in 2004, PG-13, Soderbergh + Pitt + Clooney + Roberts + Damon + Zeta-Jones and other superstars assemble crime comedy, it is also North America 1. The previous work, Ocean's Eleven in 2001, was North American1. 8.3 billion.
In recent years, the box office appeal of Hanks and Roberts has been declining, and they are no longer the gods who can guarantee 1020 million per film at their peak. And those films did no less publicity than LMS, what was the result?
Ye Wei actually opened his mouth to be 100 million!?
For the North American box office of LMS, in fact, many professional institutions have already made predictions, conservatively saying 50 million-80 million, and the greedy Wall Street's expectations are only 80 million-90 million. Why don't you dare to shout more than 100 million, the influence of superstars is declining, DreamWorks is pessimistic, although it is classified as a family comedy/drama, this is also a literary film, a road movie.
Literary films are an attribute, road movies are a genre, and the following is the box office ranking of road movies from 1978 to the present:
Ranking - Movies - North American Box Office - Rating - Genre - Production Cost - Distributor - Release Date
First place: "Dumb and Dumb", 1. 27.1 billion, PG-13 level, comedy, 17 million, new line, 1994-12-16
Second place: "Are We There?", 82.67 million, PG rating, family comedy (black movie), 32 million, Sony, 2005-1-21
Third place: "A Cup of Life", 71.5 million, R-rated, comedy, 16 million, Fox Searchlight, 2004-10-22
The fourth place is "Hala on the Road" in 2000, the sixth is "About Schmidt" in 2002, and the ninth is "Desperate Treasure Hunt......
Although road comedies have become much hotter in recent years, and according to literary attributes, LMS is the closest to "A Cup of Wine", of course, LMS has a huge advantage in ratings, casting, publicity, topicality and other aspects, but "A Cup of Wine Life" has a perfect reputation (96% freshness, 78% love), and has five Oscar nominations including Best Picture and Best Director (won one for Best Adapted Screenplay), it is based on these slowly released box office, and it was released on a large scale in the 15th week, and the entire release lasted 30 weeks.
The reason why DreamWorks did not take the release route of "A Cup of Wine Life" is precisely the reason why people predict a box office of 80 million, and there are deep concerns about a 17-year-old director!
After comprehensive consideration and analysis, 80 million is already an optimistic number, and the premise is that the quality of LMS is acceptable.
Now Ye Wei shouted out 100 million!?Very optimistic, a little crazy. Under the impetus of dark power, it has become very arrogant!
"One thing is one thing, MPAA is not right, VIY is indeed a little arrogant, 100 million box office is not a shout, he should learn some knowledge of film distribution. β
"Ye Wei has long burned his brain because of the small achievement of "The Wedding is Coming", does he think that there are many stars? He doesn't know what a movie is like Steve Bing!
"Maybe this is viy's angry words, but it exposes his ignorance, doesn't he know about "Escape from Clone Island"?"
Under the bombardment of these directed comments, Wei Hei naturally ridiculed wantonly, "I knew that no one around me was interested in watching this garbage movie", "When will this idiot disappear", "Ten million people count all the free DVDs, right?", "Does he think there are so many people in China here?......
There are also entertainment reporters who joked about it on blogs and other places: "Viy said that he is not very good at math, and it seems to be true." β
Wei Mi was very angry and depressed, suddenly Ye Wei said nothing as if it was wrong, suddenly Ye Wei couldn't do anything, knowing that it was not like this, but he had no right to speak. Some big entertainment sites have also begun to turn, and only independent film strongholds like IndieWire are still supporting Viy, even saying that he is being persecuted by big studios.
Ye Wei, as the center of the whirlpool, certainly has a greater reputation, and LMS has received greater attention.
But these news are too bad: Ye Wei is a rich man, Ye Wei is gay, Ye Wei is crazy, Ye Wei is the new Steve Bing, Ye Wei has zero eggs at the award ceremony, Ye Wei is going to drop out of school, Ye Wei is a fake genius, in fact, he became famous by nepotism, he just made a star film, and he dared to be brainless and arrogant......
All of them are secretly murderous to ruin his image, ruin the interests and expectations of the people, hate him if he hates him, and the box office of 100 million is not a single dollar!
Those ordinary people who doubted, disappointed and waited and saw Ye Wei did have more voices, LMS was successful, but if he failed, he would never recover.
At the same time, another cinematic genius is held high by the dark force as the backdrop of the viy, and the mouthpieces and the blacks echo it, Yunnick Kuller.
Yunik Kuller was also angry with the MPAA, and he still released a sudden revision of the rating, and he didn't see Kuller say anything, how light he was, that was genius. Cooler's all-amateur actor made his screen debut, and the ultra-low-cost TET North American box office 1. 400 million, one of the biggest commercial miracles in film history, I don't see Kuller showing anything, or mysterious and low-key, at most write a sentence or two on the blog.
Yunik Kuhler is a truly mature and wise filmmaker, while Ye Wei is just a childish, arrogant, and spoiled child.
Yunik Kuhler is a legend and is not proud, while Ye Wei is just an accident and does not know how to be grateful.
Yunik Kuhler deserves any praise, while Ye Wei deserves any criticism.
Compared with Yunik Kuller, whether it is in terms of movies or life, Ye Wei still has a lot of way to go. - The New York Post
In the midst of the chaos, on the evening of Sunday, October 23, Yunik Kuhler suddenly updated a journal, the seventh. changed the norm of late-night time, but the content was still a movie line, and this time ...... No matter what camp it was, everyone was stunned at first glance, their faces changed, and they were stupid......
This is, this is the line of ...... "The Wedding is Coming".
Yunik Kuller:
"It's time to introduce me. I'm the talented, handsome wedding god. The reason is that a 17-year-old director has deep concerns! Accumulating word of mouth is risky, and without an award list, it is better to sprint in one go when everyone is full of expectations.
After comprehensive consideration and analysis, 80 million is already an optimistic number, and the premise is that the quality of LMS is acceptable.
Now Ye Wei shouted out 100 million!?Very optimistic, a little crazy. Under the impetus of dark power, it has become very arrogant!
