Why did Ye Wei's ex-girlfriends tacitly choose to pick him on to make a face?

Maybe it's because the Los Angeles Times report the day after the announcement used a photograph of him playfully sticking out his tongue as a picture, and he designed the line with a frivolous and uninhibited look: "Is enough to say? ”

The darling of the mainstream media!

Yunik Kueller equals Ye Wei. The Los Angeles Times exclaimed that "genius pranks put every mortal together", the San Francisco Chronicle praised it as "the most incredible moment of wonder in the history of cinema", the New York Times lamented that "all the underestimation of Ye Wei has been punished", and the Washington Post said that "VIY directed the shocking facts......

The Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse and other news agency giants also issued press releases.

In an Associated Press article, "Ye Wei's Light and Darkness Shake the World," Amy Barnett, editor-in-chief of the young edition of People magazine Teen-People, said: "There has never been a movie wizard like this. The people who invested in Ye Wei became winners, and he used his achievements to forcibly become the hottest person in the new generation of Hollywood. ”

Tom Odenberg, Lionsgate's head of distribution, said, "It might be hard for people to believe that we just found out, and it really rocked our lives. ※Now people can look forward to "Little Sunshine Beauty" with peace of mind, it must be a genius spectacle. ”

"Missing out on 'The Exorcism' is probably the stupidest thing DreamWorks has done this year. Wall Street analyst Richard Greenfield said, "They had a chance not to be so embarrassed." But they should be glad that "Little Sunshine Beauty" may save some face. ”

"We should all be glad that Ye Wei is not a shooting star. The article concluded, "This controversial prodigy is thrilling the world with his light and darkness." Ye Wei said, "Everyone, surprised, right? That's exactly what I want." ”

And the Reuters report said, "The uneasy MPAA is about to get nervous again, and Ye Wei's final blow is as invincible as he said at the appeal meeting, and the uncontrollable situation will urge the MPAA to make concessions." Agence France-Presse said that "the world is beginning to be immersed in the frenzy of Ye Wei", while the United Press Agency said that "the amazing Cheng dù is increasing, and the reaction of the world is difficult to overflow, and Ye Wei is a victory for mankind." ”......

Just as Reuters said, because Kuhler is equal to Ye Wei, the protagonists of this year's two rating turmoil are the same person! This makes the LMS rating tsunami that has just ebbed surging back again.

People are paying attention, the Resistance is fighting back, Roger Albert has written an article to bombard the corruption of the MPAA, and Todd Sorenz, Kirby Dick, Kevin Smith and many other independent filmmakers have spoken out in unison, criticizing the stupidity and decay of the MPAA.

On Monday the 24th, Ye Wei really said something in the "VIY Said" column of the Los Angeles Times, and this opinion piece titled "The Demon That Can't Be Driven Away" slammed the MPAA's rating system for the second week in a row for being vague and ambiguous, like a demon attached to an independent filmmaker, which is simply a sin!

The article also talks about what "Yonik Kuller" really thinks: "For these two ratings, anger is self-interest, disappointment and suspicion are public interests, and if an industry association cannot face up to its own shortcomings and improve them, it is a tumor in the industry."

Authority is authority not because it is not unquestioned, it is effectively regulated, and it is open and transparent, but it can also give people confidence after experiencing it. ”

He once again asked the MPAA to release a complete set of rules and regulations as soon as possible so as not to disappoint again.

The editorial, which did not contain much personal emotion, received unanimous praise and a comeback, and the number of petitions on the Internet has exceeded 200,000, which is a number that cannot be ignored.

The turmoil that was thought to be over suddenly reversed like this, although the rating of LMS will not be changed anymore, MPAA and CARA finally can't withstand the pressure of public opinion.

On the 25th, the two associations, apparently trying to do crisis public relations, issued a joint statement through the New York Times, still rejecting that the rating of the LMS was wrong, but acknowledging that there are shortcomings in the current system and that they can do better, and promising to publish a complete charter as much as possible.

This PR battle MPAA ended up losing ugly, and this preemptive self-pumping hand was beautiful again.

If you don't smoke this, no one knows how the rebels will smoke wildly, and now they basically smoke as much as they want, and the documentary "Unrated Film", which has been nervous, will be unveiled again next year, and the pressure of public opinion will definitely be greater at that time.

It's better to take advantage of the fact that they haven't had time to smoke, quickly admit it a little, and put on a look of "I know I'm wrong, I'll change it, everyone give me a chance", draw a conclusion to this turmoil, and don't give Ye Wei and others room to blame, "You see that I have all admitted my mistakes, what else do you want?

It's a promise to release instead of considering a release, isn't it sincere enough? Advanced enough? In fact, it's just a release and not a revision, and many provisions can still make the judges sway left and right.

But for the media and the general public, they are already satisfied with the results of this struggle, and many filmmakers are also satisfied, at least they can finally see the full charter!

Ye Wei obviously already understood what Cheng dù could get, and he had always said that he wanted to complete the charter, and he didn't naively ask for a new rating like the UK's 12A, but now that he had won it, he wasn't very happy or said anything, but just said on his blog: "Listen first." ”

The MPAA's endorsement is a "well" rather than a "well done", and it is not immediately free of criticism. The PTC (American Parent Television Association) angrily accused: "How can the MPAA, which is deficient in all aspects, carry out the function of correctly guiding teenagers to watch movies? ”

MPAA lost, but he didn't lose anything except losing face, and if he was thick enough, it didn't affect anything.

Ye Wei's camp won, but did not win the rating result, but it was the entire public opinion, and the positive image of LMS has become unstoppable! The world's craze for VIY has begun!

Because of this incident, because of Yunik Kuller, because of the publicity of LMS, Ye Wei's name and figure appear everywhere!

During the week, he had a number of interviews published in newspapers such as The Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety, and if you combine these interviews, you will see pictures of teenagers with a perfect combination of sunshine, literature and bad boys, and you will see talent, humor and kind answers, no wonder the number of fans of VIY has skyrocketed.

Los Angeles Times: People are curious about what 'Exorcism Video' is all about?

Ye Wei: It's not that complicated, in December last year, LMS completed a stage of preparations, I had some free time, and I wanted to improve my talent and experience before the start of filming at LMS, as well as dispel the doubts of colleagues who were still skeptical about my ability, so I had the TET project. To be clear, it's not that I have a dual personality, it's not to coax girls. If you want to coax a girl with a movie, making a horror movie will only mess up.

Variety: How did you get started with Nina Dubov and what do you think of her cousin?

Ye Wei: When we were in school in Toronto, we were classmates in the same school, and we naturally fell in love soon after we met. Nina is a very talented person, and her appearance is magical, because she has never had any film and television performances before playing Tet, but she managed to portray "Maggie". This is inseparable from her hard work, filming the scene of running barefoot in the snow, everyone on the set couldn't bear it, I filmed for as long as my heart hurt, but she just insisted on completing it, and I am proud of her.

Los Angeles Times: Why is there "Yonick Kuller" and does the name mean anything in particular?

Ye Wei: At first, it was called Yunik-Gu, the name is Wei in Chinese, and the surname is my mother's surname. Later, when it was released, I felt that the name was too easy to recognize, so I changed to Kuler, which is cool in Chinese. I released it this way because I didn't want people to think I was joking, and it was a fun challenge to start all over again.

The Hollywood Reporter: Do you think TET's success was a coincidence?

Ye Wei: I think all success in the world is accidental, and success and failure are determined by chance. But if you don't do a good job of inevitability before, there will be no accidental patronage. The dedication of all our crew to TET and the excellent release of Lionsgate are the biggest reasons for its success.

LA Times: Your first two films were so different, what about LMS?

Ye Wei: Yes, it's very different, there is one less talented actor in TET, yes it's me. Fortunately, they are all movies, and they have the same essence as movies, like how to release one's thoughts and emotions, how to tell a story. LMS is a different story, you will see a very interesting family, a lot of black humor, a lot of interesting conflicts, you can get some kind of life resonance in laughter, I am sure it will not disappoint everyone.

Variety: What do you think of the great success, fame and fortune that TET has created for you?

Ye Wei: I am grateful for this qiē, I am a very lucky person. I try not to do as much as I can do the joy of success, the pleasures of material things, I am also a human being, these will make people relax, they can't do anything, I let myself think that it is not enough, I can do more and better, don't let myself stop.

Los Angeles Times: What do you have to say in the face of the recent criticism?

Ye Wei: I won't be all right, but I really haven't done anything wrong lately. I want someone to tell me what to do, so everyone will say that kid is okay. It's impossible, no matter what you do, there will always be people who don't like you, you don't care if others like you or not, do your own thing and make people who like you happy, this is the most important thing.

The Hollywood Reporter: On your bashing of LMS box office expectations?

Ye Wei: 100 million box office? Although I didn't say this, I accepted it. I wouldn't deny that I have huge expectations for LMS, it's that good.

Los Angeles Times: Your documentary is about to air, and you've gone through a storm of changing channels, from Sci-Fi to IFC.

Ye Wei: It's not just my documentary, it's a documentary of a group of people, and it's never just me who has been able to get to where I am now. It's good to change the channel, it can appear on the channel that suits it best, thank you Sci-Fi Channel.

......

On the night of Ye Wei's identity and relationship, DreamWorks and ifc cable announced that they had reached a partnership, and "VIY" will premiere on ifc at 8:00pm primetime on Sunday, October 30th!

This is really good news that makes the secrets raise their eyebrows.

IFC is a cable channel, and the number of subscribers is millions lower than that of SCI-FI, and the opening rate of cable TV households in the United States is more than 20 percent lower, but IFC is a channel that focuses on independent film and television and programs like "Film School" (independent-film-channel, independent film channel), and its audience is more interested in Ye Wei and LMS.

"Always-on, slightly-off" is its slogan, almost 24 hours a day, there are two films, usually 20:00-24:00 will show two movies, "VIY" TV promo version is only 55 minutes, but now IFC is going to broadcast the full 90-minute version, as an independent film, not a promotional documentary.

ifc Channel and ifc Movies both belong to Rainbow Media Holding Group, and have a good cooperation experience with Pretong and Ye Wei. Mainly the latter, if Ye Wei is not Kuler, it will definitely be a mess as soon as it is announced, and it doesn't cost any money, how can the ifc channel make this program transfer arrangement.

Jon Krasnoff, a spokesman for ifc, said: "VIY is a high-quality documentary, with a real and moving story, a lot of unrevealed details about VIY, and we see the birth of a legend without the problem of image mismatch. ”

Regarding this matter, Ye Wei notified fans on blogs, youtube and other places, and said, "Thank you ifc for your help, and look forward to more cooperation in the future!"

He also said, "Everyone can see it if they want to"! What do people who don't have an ifc channel think about it? When it premieres on TV, "VIY" will be available on the Internet, whether it's the established video-sharing site iFilm or the new YouTube or Yahoo Video, all of these places will be free to watch!

It's not surprising to watch free movie trailers, trailers, TV commercials, news clips, and more on ifilm, as well as promotional documentaries.

But there are expensive and cheap promotional films, from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars on the Internet, but the production budget of "VIY" is 300,000, and DreamWorks was proud to be on the market at the time, and it was not positioned as a cheap promotional film from the beginning, it was a documentary, or Nanette Postern would not have taken over the project.

Immediately after the premiere, it was put on the Internet? ordinary people don't understand, but people in the industry know that this is not a normal handiwork, "VIY" can't make money by selling fans on DVD alone, and the hardcover DVD attached to LMS will have its value, and the value of this is low.

Yahoo Films interviewed Terry Price, the head of distribution at DreamWorks, who revealed several reasons, in addition to the importance of online publicity, but also because "the documentary was privately acquired, and it already belongs to the only image, but there is no idea of making money from it." He didn't say what the price was, Yahoo's estimate was 500,000-1 million.

"I like a loser like viy!", "I'll definitely see it!", "I'm looking forward to it!", ......

The comment board of this news is full of excited cheers from fans, which is especially a blessing for overseas fans, I didn't know when I would see it before, but now it's different! Ye Wei likes losers, but it all happens in charity, bonuses, and giving back to fans, why don't people like him?

From rumors and controversies such as homosexuality, nepotism, and puppetry, to the broadcast of the documentary, Ye Weifang's counterattack battle was completely won!

And this can only be the beginning of the craze, with the arrival of Halloween, what will be the overseas release of "Exorcism Video"?

On October 29th, will the Tokyo International Film Festival, the first film festival in which "Little Sunshine Beauty" participate, be rewarded?

What about the premiere of "VIY" on October 30?

LMS has held many film critic screenings and audience test screenings, all of which have been launched!

The curtain has just been lifted!
