Chapter 145: Battle Song Rings!

"Hahaha!"

It is not only an old man who was amused by these two promotional videos, especially Ye Wei's version, many fans and viewers are among them, if they are filmed and made into a collection, they will definitely be able to make people laugh.

These 5 minutes have lived up to the expectations that "Spoof's Past and Present" has made film critics, and Viy is not just saying that he is really doing it, and he is doing it well. They were pleasantly surprised, they saw a spoof, retro spirit, and innovative approach that was different from the mainstream of this era!

It's more explicit than "Duck Soup" and "Flying Forever", a bit of a technical shadow of the comedy "Annie Hall", and bolder than new-age spoofs like "Scream": this is a spoof movie, you know, so don't be so serious.

But this kind of funny that seems to be unserious and breaks by oneself does not make the audience play or feel bored, it is still in the story, absurd but has real feelings.

If the feature film can also have this look, or even more surprises, "The Wedding Date is Coming" will definitely be a masterpiece.

"Hi Scott, have you watched Ye Wei's promotional video?", "Great table, I'm going to participate in his screening. "I want to know what happened to him with the cake. ”......

Scott Fondas, editor-in-chief of Los Angeles Weekly, Jonathan Foreman of The New York Times, Richard Rope, Albert & Rope...... It's all well-known film critics who smashed Rotten Tomatoes for "Laughter 3"!

Fondath scolded it for "just plain parody", Foreman said it was "banal parody", Roope said "the style is very lifeless", and Rope's show partner Albert said that "the film is full of famous and semi-famous faces, although only two are funny." ”

They've had enough of the endless stupid, lazy parody, and now, "The Wedding Is Coming" ignites a ray of hope!

On the big screen, it seems that there are finally some really interesting spoofs for the old birds!

Who isn't curious? Who doesn't look forward to it? Quietly, a promotional trailer stirred up a lot of movement in the film critics' circles.

At the same time, ordinary followers are also excited, and messages have emerged on the message boards on the VIY official website, the official website of "The Wedding is Coming" and other places:

Samuel Au said: "Can't wait to see this movie, viy's promo wins, lol!" Zoya Yas said: "Of course it's viy wins! I've watched it five times and laughed almost jaw dislocated every time, no exaggeration." "I'm Ophra and said, "Weige is so good at acting, I want to see it just for his performance." ”

"Why can I only see it in Los Angeles? I'm from San Francisco, when will it be released here?", "Dude, you can just drive over to San Francisco, I'm a Fremont native of Nebraska, and I don't have any hope." "I'm going to be a star chaser and fly to Los Angeles to see it......!"

The situation of the game is the same as the strength of the two sides, there is a huge disparity, and Ye Wei is currently far ahead of Ji Ya's 32% with 68% of the votes.

The Jiya version is not bad, but compared with Ye Wei's version, it loses a lot of everything.

Naturally, some of the people who voted for her genuinely preferred her version, and many voted because she was a girl, or because she had Cage. For example, like Lev, "I'm sorry Brother Wei, although you are my best friend and idol, Master Jiya is my goddess, hehe!"

There was also an ugly bribe, and Bard also voted for Gia, "Brother Wei, Master Gia really gave me a bottle of wine!"

Chen Nuo only promised not to do hacking to modify the number of jΓΉ, and Colwin, no one knew his choice.

Master Ji Ya called Ye Wei that night, and said viciously: "Damn genius, your version is awesome, but sue you, I will always chase you!

......

As expected, the event was successful in attracting media attention and coverage, both traditional and online, such as the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Yahoo, USA Today, ...... The traffic on the official website has increased dramatically, and the popularity of related searches for Yahoo and Google has also soared!

Ye Wei's fame rose rapidly in a straight line again! Even the "loveviy" network also became a small fire.

It's a pity that these people are not all from Los Angeles, but all over the United States and all regions of the world, and the Los Angeles IP in them only accounts for less than 10%, and how many of them will really go to the screening, it is unknown.

However, one thing that is certain is that the potential of "genius boy Ye Wei" is very huge, and everyone is interested in knowing what he will achieve! This is like a reality show with explosive ratings.

From the 5th to the 8th, the media started a new round of spontaneous propaganda for Ye Wei, readers love to watch, they love to report!

"Genius performance, viy wins. -- Variety Daily; "The Wedding Is Coming" looks delicious!" - The Hollywood Reporter; The Other Side of Prodigy VIY You Don't Know: Sports Chapter" - "People......

Looking at these changes, Lovett, Tracy and the others gradually became less happy, and became more solemn and worried, because this was not the state of affairs they wanted.

What they want is high expectations from the film critics and low popularity from the media, so that once the film critics kill "The Wedding is Coming", Ye Wei will disappear immediately. But now, not only has the skepticism of the film critics declined and the praise increased, Ye Wei's public popularity is still expanding!

The expectation value has reached its peak, but the popularity value continues to gallop like a crazy mustang!

"Lovett, it seems that people's interest in this kid is still more than we expected......"

"I really don't understand, he's just an Asian kid!"

"The country has gone crazy again. ”

"No, it won't...... No......"

Rise, rise, rise!

Brian's heart was also pounding, Gary Gozman had to swallow his unbelievable saliva, and then seriously communicated with IFC, although it was a bit surreal to exceed 50 theaters in the second week, but it was better to be prepared, in case, he said that if Ye Wei did it, he really couldn't be in a hurry......

But several surprises have already made him scramble!

"Hopefully, this movie won't disappoint me. "Scott Fondath agreed to attend the screening!

"A movie is a movie, and I won't treat Ye Wei unfairly because of his age, whether it's good or bad. Jonathan Foreman promised to attend!

"The promo is very well done, I just hope it doesn't put out all the jokes. "Richard Ropee agreed to attend!

USA Today's Mike Clark, San Francisco Chronicle's Peter Hartloub, and The Seattle Times' Moira McDonald also agreed to attend.

With the participation of these mainstream media columnists and well-known film critics, the screening of "The Wedding is Coming" can be said to be star-studded!

On the night of the 8th, Gozman learned another new news, and he was almost so shocked that he sat on the ground, and the IFC said that the old man agreed!

The God of Film Criticism, Roger Albert, was present at !!

"I don't ask for much, and when I look at the audience, I laugh 20 times with one thumb and 30 times with two thumbs. ”

Equal to an average of 3-4. It's not easy to laugh once in 5 minutes, because people will get tired when they laugh and laugh, and the laughter must be stronger than one to maintain the "laugh out loud", not just smiling, it's lol!

But if you can invite this old man, you have to gamble.

This news made Brian and others, and the crew members of "The Wedding is Coming" excited, and Peter Heller and Sean Maurer were stunned, what kind of project did they join......? Incredible!

......

On Sunday, May 9th, the outside world was raising their voices, and Ye Wei was still in the editing room.

These days, there are always a lot of friends who text and email him, asking when he will reappear, he has been "gone" for more than half a month, he can't be seen anywhere, he doesn't participate in his usual classes, and he doesn't participate in school activities, like the junior high school dance held yesterday at the Santa Monica Beach Hotel in Loews.

Who wouldn't go to the ball? Even if they were on crutches, they would go there! Although Lev and the others knew the situation at home, they couldn't help but sigh, but his brother was too cruel to himself.

As a result, Lily didn't have a male partner yesterday, and countless people wanted to be her dance partner, but she just played with Trist, Connie, and Lev, who were Ye Wei's best friends.

Ye Wei is really like someone kidnapped and locked in a dungeon, no one can find him, and he always says "I'm busy" when he calls, and ends the call after a few words. If it weren't for Master Gia's solemn statement that she hadn't done this, they would have been calling 911.

Ye Wei didn't deceive his friends, he was indeed very busy, after these days of hard work, he could complete the fine cut version in the next two days!

The closer he got to that finish, the more energetic he ran, and how could he be willing to leave the editing room to dance?

He couldn't see his own eyes, which Suzanne said were as red as "vampire's eyes", and said that he was a little haggard, working so hard for more than half a month, but he was a little haggard enough to be called an iron man. Whatever, at night again, Ye Wei was still looking at the screen like a demon, playing a Rubik's Cube game.

There was a knock on the door of the editing room.

Who? Who hasn't tried to come at night? Ye Wei looked at it suspiciously, and didn't order takeout, but used black bread to top his stomach, "Come in." ”

The door opened, and I saw a slim girl, dressed in a white T-shirt and a skirt, with two heroic thick eyebrows, a smile on her face, and a refreshing voice: "I'm here to visit the class." ”

Lily.

"Hey ......" Ye Wei wiped his face a little unnaturally, and his heart was excited, although he would text every day, he felt like he hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Surprise? I don't want to call you first, or you might not let me come. Lily walked in with her hands behind her back, her eyes looking around, and then stopped on his face, a gentle glint in her eyes, "I miss you, I want to see you." ”

Ye Wei smiled and nodded, "Okay, me too, I'm sorry yesterday, but the editing is almost finished......"

"I know. Lily came quietly, "You go about your work, don't let me disturb you, I'll be quiet!" But here are a few small cakes, ding!" Her hands reached out behind her back, but she was holding a box of five or six small cakes.

"Wow, thank you. Ye Weizhen was a little surprised, suddenly a feeling of hunger came up, and he hurriedly got up to get it, and after a few days of black bread dinner, he ate this sweet and smooth cake, and couldn't help but look ugly, almost one bite at a time, quite a Bard style, stuffed his mouth all over, and said vaguely: "It's delicious, it's delicious......"

Lily said amusedly and surprised, "Eat slowly! you haven't eaten dinner yet, have you?"

"No, it's not...... Ye Wei shook his head, and continued to kill a whole box of six cakes like a wolf, and then sat back in the chair comfortably and leaned on the back of the chair.

Sure enough, he was well fed and well-fed, and there was more inspiration, he looked at the computer screen, and came up with some new ideas for this paragraph, and immediately wanted to try it, so he had to say: "Lily, I really have to be busy with work first, you can do it." "It's kind of ungraceful to do that, but now editing comes first.

"Good. Lily nodded in response, first standing behind him, then moving a chair to sit next to him, quietly watching him edit.

His earnestness and hard work made her heart move, and his haggard and calm made her feel distressed, thinking about something, and gradually became a little crazy.

After a while, Ye Wei suddenly turned his head to look at her, smiled, she smiled too, looked at each other, and the youth that had not seen each other for a while turned into sweetness.

There was a warmth flowing in his heart, "There are some things I want to tell you." ”

"Huh?"

Without saying anything, he took the pen and paper on the table, wrote something on a cardboard card, and handed it to her.

When Lily saw it, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she couldn't help but smile toothily, only to see that it was written: "Your smile has infused my melancholy heart with innocent happiness, and your brilliant sunny countenance has left a ray of light that makes my heart bright." ”

Her heart was sweet, "Byron's poem "I've seen you cry", I remember correctly, right?"

"Yes, Byron's poem, but my heart. He shrugged.

She leaned over his shoulder, "I'm still bothering you." ”

"The sun disturbs the darkness. Ye Wei was about to hug her.

Lily pushed him away, sat upright, raised her clenched fists with a look of high spirit, and shouted to him, "Go on with your work, cut the film!

Ye Wei couldn't help laughing, but he was also very enthusiastic, "Yes, my Valkyrie!"
