On Thursday night, October 12, "Soul Surfer" will be released a week after its premiere, and the W'sB crew has already returned to the Hilton Garden Inn to rest.

After Ye Wei went to the gym and sweated profusely, he stayed in the suite for a while, and then went for a walk in the hotel's outdoor garden.

He is a little uneasy, every time a new film is released, it will be like this, but now it is almost comparable to "The Wedding is Coming", but it is very different. At that time he was almost zero, and if he failed, it could be the result of destruction, and now he has a movie anyway, but ......

In the past week, he has clearly figured out that he doesn't want to fail! I don't want to be at the box office or in evaluation, this movie deserves that glory, Bethany, Emma, the whole crew, maybe he is also worth it. If not, he'd like to see some thought-provoking commentary, not like Carrie.

Thinking of "Carrie", an undercurrent of anger that has gradually formed in my heart this week is rising and falling, "Carrie" has endured a lot of criticism and accusations from all sides, most of them are just some people, some are not reasonable at all, some vulgar so-called film critics use a few simple negative adjectives to define the quality of a movie after talking nonsense, and it is a performance that harms Nina for no reason, Sissi Specek is of course a classic, but Nina is not bad, "Carrie" is not her problem.

He was angry and guilty about Nina, and he didn't want to feel guilty about Bethany, Emma, and the others.

Looking up at the stars in the dark night, I hope everything is well.

......

When the 12th passed, the new week North American box office weekly list from 6 to 12 was released, and the ranking and weekend ranking did not change, "Witch Carrie" could only rank fourth with 14.86 million, and it was also a question whether it could receive 30 million in the end, and it was probably not as good as the old version of 33.8 million, which was 30 years ago.

With a production budget of 15 million, it is in a very difficult situation, and it can only hope for various copyright income for a long time to return to its capital.

On Friday, 5 new movies will be released on a large scale, including the long-awaited SS, and although it has not been a year since the LMS and SS were separated, fans really felt like they had "finally made it up", and from midnight onwards, hardcore secrets from all over North America poured into those 2,757 theaters to get a sneak peek.

is not only ordinary audiences, but also people who are close to Ye Wei.

At this time, in the singing of Growing-Pains, the audience in a screening room in Los Angeles applauded enthusiastically, and Liz was also standing and applauding, with a smile on her face, which was great! Ye Wei really did not disappoint, this shot was too good.

In a surging mood, she took out her mobile phone and sent a complimenting text message to Ye Wei: "I just finished watching your "Soul Surfer", and I am still in the screening room! 100 points, it makes my atheism shaken, I can't believe that you are an agnostic and not a Christian, unbelievably moved! Another small opinion, why are there no food shots? That's my belief, whatever. ”

Before he walked out of the theater, he received a reply text message: "Isn't there Jinji?"

Hot dog. Liz laughed, Bethany's dog was called Ginger, and ginger was hot, which was particularly funny. But I really didn't expect him to reply so late, Springfield was still two hours late, did he still not sleep or did he have insomnia?

She looked at the audience around her who were satisfied and left, it must be no problem, she is a picky person herself, and she just wants to sing gospel hymns for SS! Now I wonder what the film critics will say, she was still scolding "Carrie" a few days ago, and she is about to cheer for VIY again, haha, this is also very funny.

I'm looking forward to "Lovely Bones" even more, Elizabeth Olsen's first film! or the second one? "Foul Talk World" counts.

......

For the evaluation of SS's film critics, countless people inside and outside the industry are paying attention, what the result is, the situation of the awards season, Ye Wei's position in the industry, etc. The genius of the 86%, 91%, and 97% freshness of the first three films, the darling of film criticism and independent film, what light is about to shine?

Nina dragged her parents to see the midnight show of SS, maybe she was the only one in the world who was so nerdy, what did it matter, she watched a great movie!

She didn't check the reviews of "Carrie" much this week, she was teased by some words at school, she was a little annoyed but she really didn't care about those boring teenagers, what do they know, Weige's letter made it clear, it wasn't her fault, she had tried her best, and failure was unlucky.

SS gave her another source of encouragement, she was also a Christian, not very religious...... Probably for this reason, she prefers the proverb "If life gives you lemons, then you make lemon juice!" is really a good attitude towards life.

Nina originally wanted to send Ye Wei a text message to watch the movie, but after thinking about it, it was still PM to send it again at night, and now it seems that it is not suitable to send it impatiently.

I didn't sleep well this night, not because of text messages, but because of some strange "grade fanaticism", just like there was a sense of inertia along the mood of TET and LMS at that time. In a hazy half-dream, she saw that SS's Rotten Tomatoes was 95% fresh!

She couldn't help but scream, and she could see clearly how those excerpts of the short film reviews praised and praised: "Ye Wei once again brought us incredible touch, Nina Dubov acted very well." "Ye Wei and Nina Dobrev have teamed up to present us the best films of 2006. ”......

There seems to be something wrong, I'm playing Carrie, and the person who plays Bethany is Emma Roberts.

With that, Nina woke up, and it was already dawn outside.

Worried about not wanting to stay in bed, she got up and walked to the computer desk to turn on the Internet, and see if there was a movie review released, and there was really one! The authoritative film and television magazine Variety scored 3.5/4!! Robert Koehler commented: "Ye Wei's talent provides a sincere channel for the emotions such as happiness, sadness, and humor in the story, and "Soul Surfer" strikes balance and sublimation in true stories and dramas, a convincing one-armed surfer, and a respectable movie that teaches people to do good." ”

"That's right, that's a good word, Honorable!"

Nina endured a stiff face for a while and smiled happily, raised her head and raised her clenched right fist, and Yunik watched this celebration in what movie? This movie review is off to a great start, and that's it!

The praise is like that huge tide in SS!

Although it is to be expected, you might as well bring a good mood to the Variety movie review. Nina walked the dog in the morning in a good mood, drove to school in a good mood, talked about SS with friends in a good mood, and said that everything she had seen was good, and she highly recommended it if she hadn't seen it yet: "Go and see it, it's very exciting, and it's helpful for life." ”

When it came to the lunch break at noon, I came to the library in a good mood to check the latest evaluation of SS on the Internet, and the overall situation should come out.

"I can walk on the sea without being overwhelmed by the waves...... Nina sang softly, opened the SS Rotten Tomatoes page in her collection and looked at it, the song suddenly stopped, her apricot eyes suddenly widened slightly, and her head reflexively tilted back, as if she had been hit by something.

What the... Is there any mistake... What the!?

Are you kidding!?

Why!?

Nina took a deep breath and looked at the laptop screen motionlessly, only her heart was clenching, and the whole person was like a computer down, were they crazy?

There are more than 40 film reviews, and the freshness of 32% is almost as bad as 26% of "Carrie".

SHE REFRESHED IT A FEW TIMES, AND THAT'S THE PAGE FOR SOUL-SURFER (2006), AND THAT'S HOW IT REVERBERATED IN THE CRITICS......

2/4, Kirk Hornickett, The Hollywood Reporter:

[Sports reporters always report on every final heroic moment and incredible "Hollywood-esque ending," but in reality, Hollywood is usually doing barren work based on a true sports story.] -- The filmmakers have adapted such stories entirely into film scripts, draining all the paint and strange people from the real plot, removing any difficulty that might distract the audience from the "inspirational" message they are determined to convey.

These things also happened roughly in Soul Surfer, a true story of courage.

Honestly, Ye Wei has delivered a beautiful job, the well-known 18-year-old film genius who didn't wear children's gloves, and he used his way to create a group of imperfect, far from idealized characters, with ups and downs but reasonable and quite subversive adaptations of true sports stories, and he can get tears from every audience. There is no doubt that the film will hit its target audience and also appeal to a wider audience of non-Christian faiths, becoming the kind of hot theatrical consumption it is.

However, if the film's live-action heroine, Bethany Hamilton, has more depth and enough to enhance the film's personal presentation, and if the film's writer, producer, and director, Ye Wei, has a more focused attitude and greater pursuit, and uses a more exciting way to convey her will and courage, "Soul Surfer" may break through the inspirational use of only ordinary audiences, and it can reach the category of greatness.

Ye Wei did everything just right, firmly controlling the audience on the inspirational path with his mysterious hands, and he told us the story of Bethany that has been told again and again: a surfer born into a family of Hawaiian surfers, who lost her left arm in 2003 when she was attacked by a shark when she was 13 years old. Just a month later, she overcame the pain and ordeal to return to the sea to continue surfing, suffering setbacks but never giving up, and still competing to this day.

We have long been familiar with this story and lost our excitement, but Ye Wei can still tell it so inspiringly, and even sometimes jumps outside the train, unfortunately he does not have the courage to leave the train. He was still reciting those facts, why Bethany, her family and friends, or what made them so.

There is some extraordinary sparkle in the film, and again, Ye Wei does not let us see it completely, he is stingy in digging into the deeper struggles of the characters, as if to prevent the inspirational influence of ordinary audiences, and the questioning of religious beliefs is also superficial, and quickly dispels the displeasure of all target audiences with a dramatic burlesque. This is thanks to the amazing performance of Melissa McCarthy, who plays the role of a church youth mentor who makes it seem as if the other actors don't exist every time she appears.

But the main cast members all did well, especially the 15-year-old young actor Emma Roberts (Julia Roberts's niece) who played Bethany, and Colin Firth and Helen Hunter, who played her parents. As a beginner, Roberts exemplifies her surfing scenes, showing youth and strong convincing in dramatic moments such as the heroine's self-pity, frustration and anger, doubting her beliefs, and determination to break through difficulties.

She rarely wears makeup in the movie, and the same is true of Faith and Hunter, who are sun-drenched, with tough skin, simple faces, and sturdy figures, who look like people who love the outdoors, especially in the ocean. In short, these three people, as well as Andrew Garfield and Xavier Dolan who played Bethany's two older brothers, and Shailene Woodley, who played Bethany's best friend, all gave them the unity that they made through the terrible tortures of life, as well as the spirit of competition and the pursuit of excellence.

The scene from the shark attack to rushing to a nearby hospital is the best part of the film, and Bethany's rush home from church and the ending scene are the best shots of the film. In addition, all the Hawaiian landscape shots, the shots where the camera had to work on the water were excellent, and there were both visual and psychological moments in Bethany's game.

The film eschews as much as possible the clichés of Hollywood sports journalists, such as the surfer played by Theresa Menor, an opponent who should have taken every opportunity to mock Bethany on the field, and she is the recipient of Bethany. Bethany didn't finish the final heroic moment, or a new way.

But it also has its fair share of clichés, such as the media reporters who are madly chasing Bethany and her family, Bethany's friend taking photos and she can only watch pitifully with one arm, like all the characters who can tell a big story, most of them perform specific functions in the known storyline, and rarely have impressive supporting characters. This is compared with Ye Wei's masterpiece "Little Sunshine Beauty", which can even make his own cameo tricks, you can see the difference.

Soundtrack Mike Giacchino should be singled out for his excellent use of Hawaiian music style and gospel music songs.

It's a tough movie to rate, and if you're inspired to shed some tears and leave the cinema with a smile, it's an excellent choice. But if you have higher expectations, it will disappoint you, this is just an inspirational movie that Ye Wei easily disguised as a great movie with his talent and means. Can you tell he's not a genius?]

Reading through the film review of "The Hollywood Reporter", Nina was stunned, this film critic obviously saw so many "good", but ...... SS is great but not great enough to inspire the average audience, so it's only 2/4 of a score?

She glared at the "general-audiences", that is, VIY was shot shallowly, and it was useless for ordinary viewers to cry to death, they may also be in tears, but they were not satisfied because they had higher expectations, 32% freshness, and they wanted a great movie that excited the critics even more......

"I see, some of these critics are idiots!!"
