Chapter 142: Master of Film Critics
Who is Roger Albert?
To put it simply, this 61-year-old man recognized the second film critic, and no one dared to admit the first.
He was a Pulitzer Prize-winning critic (1975), he had his own television show, he had a weekly review column in the Chicago Sun-Times for more than thirty years, he wrote books, and his film reviews were featured in more than 2oo newspapers around the world......
He was a master critic who truly understood the charm of cinema and led the world to feel it, and when Spielberg was scolded by old Hollywood as "an engineer who made entertainment films for ignorant teenagers", he gave Spielberg two thumbs up, which was the sign of his trademark, and if a film had two thumbs on the cover of the DVD, it would not have to be sold.
His straightforward, spicy, and humorous comments have become a balance in the hearts of the public, with good movies on one side and bad movies on the other.
Filmmakers were thrilled to be praised by him, studios were ecstatic, and Roger Albert was about the same as film critics!
So, is Ye Wei a genius boy? Is "The Wedding Date Coming" good? What is his potential? This old man is a litmus test!
Although Ye Wei has become the youngest weekly columnist for the film version, and "Spoof's Past and Present Life" has also attracted the attention of film critics, Albert, a blockbuster film with a cost of more than 100 million yuan and a film critic screening may not be able to move him, and "The Wedding is Coming" is a remake of a low-budget bad film......
And because Albert unfortunately contracted cancer two years ago and has been battling the disease, although the film critics have not stopped, he has attended many fewer public events.
Inviting him to attend this event can only be said to be a matter of luck, and maybe it will really happen.
It's just that who can say clearly, if it happens, whether it will be a blessing or a curse? It's not easy to get a thumbs up.
Albert's comment was so poisonous that if he was upset about watching it, he wrote a review that ended with the words: "I hate this movie, I hate it." I hate all the moments of smirking, stupidity, paleness, insulting to the audience, the self-esteem that thinks everybody will like it, the implicit insult to the audience because it believes it can entertain everyone. ”
This is the end of his 1994 review of the comedy "The Prodigal Son's Bodyguard."
If this kind of thing is born in "The Wedding Date is Coming", then all the qiē will be ruined.
So after the invitation, Ye Wei undoubtedly took another step closer to the edge of the cliff.
......
In any case, as soon as the "VIy Said" column opened, millions of copies of the newspaper were sold, and as soon as it spread on the Internet, Ye Wei's popularity exploded to a new level!
And the next day, the Los Angeles Times told Brian the good news, and "Spoof's Past and Present" was a huge hit, and once again, with a 21 percent advantage, once again won the top spot for the most popular article in the Monday movie version! This is the fourth consecutive week, Ye Wei ruled Monday in April.
If he continues like this, and writes film reviews, he can simply grow into the next Roger Albert, and even now some people call him "Little Albert".
However, there is one thing worth noting, some readers have reported that some of the jokes in this issue are too high-end, and I hope VIy can consider the cognitive level of ordinary readers more, and the dog and Paris Hilton are good!
At the same time, some industry insiders responded enthusiastically, hoping that Ye Wei would create more funny jokes like "david-back-ham", and some good deeds sued David Zucker, and it is reported that he laughed so much that he couldn't stop laughing.
There are also Lovett and others who are laughing, now it's okay, they are worried about how to make the film critics target Ye Wei, and have unrealistic expectations for him, but they didn't expect them to complete the work themselves and take the initiative to go to the guillotine!
Now that you only need to push this arrogant article away, it will naturally form a terrifying force that will twist Ye Wei into pieces!
When the film critics booed him, seeing how embarrassed he was to claim to be a genius, under such public opinion, how could Pretong be embarrassed to announce to the public that he would invest in his production of "Little Sunshine Beauty"? Some people are willing to invest millions of dollars in him because he has commercial value, and he is a genius idol.
If he is not, in addition to losing his commercial value, his feature film production ability is also doubtful, and he can't do a good job of remaking it, and he can get a completely new film?
Bill Gates is hesitant to come, Hanks is still concerned about his public image, it is not impossible to cancel the cooperation, even if the contract is signed, the film industry does not have a "will shoot" contract, there was no before, and there will be no in the future.
Lovett seemed to be able to see Ye Wei's appearance like a water dog, embarrassed, distressed, remorseful, and sad...... And he, relieved!Willis, rejoice!
......
After almost a week in the hospital, Ye Haogen was discharged, and his spirit naturally improved a lot, and he had to reopen the clinic.
But he was strictly stopped by Ye Wei and Gu Qiao, and he recuperated for half a month! This made him anxious, how many customers did he have to lose in half a month? He bargained, working 8 hours a day, 6 hours, 5 hours! No less! It's okay, it's really okay!
However, it was useless to say anything, Ye Wei almost threatened with death, and Ye Haogen obediently took a holiday.
When "The Wedding Date is Coming" is screened, it will be different, and I want to change this qiē! Ye Wei is full of this belief and continues to work hard all the time.
Under the busyness, time will pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it will enter May, and then May 5th will arrive.
On this evening, the Saturn Awards ceremony was held, and Jeremy Sumpter won the Best Young Actor award for "Peter Pan".
When he happily took the stage to accept the award, he said meaningfully to the audience and the media: "There is a guy who said that my performance was terrible, and the audience hated me for playing Peter Pan, but now I can use this award to sue him, he is just a boring person who doesn't understand anything." ”
There was a round of applause from the audience, and they all thought that when Sumpter said "there is a guy", he meant the person who criticized him, and it was not a bad thing for a young man to be so tough, but also a naughty Peter Pan!
There are only two other people in the world who know what Samput really means: Ye Wei, you are a pathetic little person, I have a bright future, and you are just an idiot who will disappear before you become popular!
On the same night, the "Promotional Video Showdown" activity on the official website of "The Wedding Date is Coming" began!
Ye Wei and Gia Coppola's 5-minute promotional videos were posted on the official website of 6, and fans who had been waiting for a long time watched them one after another......
At the same time, the first promotional poster also came out, still selling the picture of the cake falling to the ground, Ye Wei flew up his right foot, and everyone, including a couple of newlyweds, was terrified, with a promotional slogan written on the right "The most catastrophic wedding in history, you all got your own cake!"
There is no Kevin Thomas's name on the poster, there are only two conspicuous names, director, screenwriter and producer Ye Wei, and Nicolas Cage who made a cameo!
There is also the date and location of the screening that fans are concerned about, May 27, 13 Studios at Beverly Center in Los Angeles!
Everyone who participated in the old version of "The Wedding is Coming" was very excited, the last time the theater was bleak, and the few ticket-buying audiences almost all cursed and quit halfway, but this time ...... There would have been a different scene!
No one was sure of anything, but they just couldn't suppress the anticipation in their hearts, imagining that the audience was full, and laughter continued to resound in the screening room, and everyone was reluctant to leave the stage after watching the end credits......
"I want to watch "The Wedding is Coming"" clicks: 6,831
......
I received this invitation a few days ago, and the old man was quite surprised, such a young film genius?
He has been in the industry for almost 40 years, watching the changes of the times in Hollywood, movies, and the world, watching countless characters rise and fall, watching countless classics, and watching countless garbage, it is difficult for anyone and any movie to surprise him.
This time, just listening to it, he had this feeling that he hadn't seen in a long time, and if this was some kind of commercial packaging, it was also a good idea.
So he watched the short film dVd he had received with him, as well as several of the kid's articles, which made him even more interested, at least it seemed that there was such a thing.
But the interest is not big enough for him to agree to attend the screening, he needs to think and observe again, he doesn't want to waste a night and is tired of watching a worthless bad movie, and he is so angry that he can't write a review and scold it.
Knowing that it released a promotional video on the Internet tonight, after all, it is a new thing, and there is also free time, the old man opened the official website to see what was going on.
The webpage is quite exquisite, he clicked on the "VIy-Vs-gIa" activity, and naturally saw the avatar pictures of two young people, and couldn't help but smile, children, don't let me down! Otherwise, you will have to write something on the blog, and people who are emotionally oriented are not good at all.
The old man thought for a moment and opened Gia Coppola's promotional video first. When the light music played, I saw Nicolas Cage sitting on a lawn in a strange shape, and as soon as the camera started, a black teenager walked angrily, "I'm going to resign!" Cage showed a strange expression.
"I can't stand it anymore, that pair of crazy people made me understand thoroughly that couples are bitch-raised......"
Accompanied by angry voiceovers, footage is broadcast, all of which are jokes of the film's heroes and heroines, who almost mess up until a close-up of a heroine who sighs bitterly, "I'm going to cancel the wedding." ”
Halfway through the promotional video, it seems to be a little interesting, but the old man is expressionless and doesn't smile at all, is that all?
