Ye Wei plans not to attend the premiere of "Soul Surfer"!

On Saturday afternoon, Julia Roberts received the breaking news.

She also had mixed feelings about the fiasco of "Carrie", so she had no room for defeat. Although Ye Wei is not involved much, it seems to be a sign that the SS, which was produced earlier than "Carrie", has always been controversial, and Ye Wei was very crazy at that time, he was in Hawaii to make trouble, fight......

It is impossible to say that the 18-year-old VIY has done his best, but it is not for nothing that the talent has been ruined by flashy fame and fortune, and even Spielberg has been lost in the ups and downs for a period of time or even several years, and she has also had it, she is afraid that SS will just hit Ye Wei's lost period.

Like many media outlets and personalities, Roberts now has a little more doubt about SS, even though she has seen it and feels good, and the response to the critics' screening is hidden in a fog of chaos.

She originally wanted to talk to Ye Wei in person after the SS premiere tomorrow, but the news said that he would not return to Los Angeles because he was "going to give W'sB a location survey to Toronto", really!? Obviously, he was going to Nina Dubov, and he didn't need a director for the pre-location scouting, let alone rush on the day of the premiere.

Roberts didn't want to care about other people's private lives, but this premiere was the terminal of the gift she gave Emma, and the results were determined by the cinema after that, but the terminal could not be without Ye Wei. She immediately called him to talk about it.

"Weige, you have to attend, we said yes. ”

"We didn't say I'm going to be beaten up by Emma. ”

"You stinky boy......"

"Just kidding, Julia. Ye Wei laughed, "But I really can't attend, I have to go to Toronto, and I will go too." ”

Roberts knew that he couldn't say anything, so he changed his strategy and asked, "What do you think of SS?" She asked when she watched the internal premiere at Lionsgate before, and Ye Wei replied calmly, "Yes, it's a lot of fun." She wanted to make sure first.

Ye Wei was silent for a few moments, "Hmm... You know, to be honest, I have my blind spots as a creator, and sometimes I'm a little biased and blindly optimistic. I think it's a good movie, but I can't say how far it will go. ”

His conservatism made Roberts's mind even more complicated, this kid didn't rely on "I can't tell" to get to where he is today, VIY's absolute self-confidence and successful fulfillment is, he said this to show that in his opinion, there is something wrong with SS.

"Well, Emma's career isn't going well right now. Roberts sighed, "This year's Mermaid failed, and next year's Nancy Jule can't be said well, and the film in the middle is too important to her, and if it fails as well, then ...... "The only consequence that will happen is that Emma's star luck is in jeopardy."

"It's going to be okay, she's going to be okay. Ye Wei said.

Roberts, of course, wants VIY to be VIY, but the truth is that he even pushes his precious Nina Dobrev to failure, and his star-making skills are like a bubble that looks good but seems to burst at any moment. She has always disliked Emma playing a one-armed athletic girl, if SS messes up......

She knew that Ye Wei had been under a lot of new pressure recently, but she still had to beat him: "Emma really works hard, likes you very much, trusts you, and regards you as an idol." I can't imagine how bad it would be if you ruined Emma's future because of your frivolity?"

"No, Emma is so elf. Ye Wei's voice was much more serious, ""Soul Surfer" is different from "Carrie". ”

Roberts also knew the difference, and was inclined to believe that it wasn't genius's fault, that he still had his genius magic.

When Nina came home from the cliff park, Ye Wei had already gone to the airport, and Sissi was still in a state of excitement, jumping around her and shouting for a while, as if to say, "He's been here, my bastard dad, he's been here!"

She went back to the bedroom and turned on the computer, looked up the meaning of some words on the Internet to the letter, and then read the letter completely, well, genius is genius......

It's not that it's bad to complain about Kimberly, if "Carrie" is filmed by Ye Wei, it will be very different.

Nina read the letter again, smiling.

[Dear Nina

When you talk about "Carrie" in your school class, who is the first thing that comes to mind?

I think most people think of a quiet, introverted, skinny, weird girl sitting at the back or by the wall or in the corner, and no one cares about her, except when she is bullying.

Bullying is not an extreme case of drenching pig's blood in a drama, including but not the same as, usually verbal aggression, petty teasing, and participating in collective teasing when she makes a fool of herself.

I don't want to talk about my history of bullying, I'm going to tell you about my history of bullying. People think I don't bully people, but that's not true. When I was just in kindergarten, I used to laugh at another fat girl with a beautiful girl I had just met, just keep calling her fat, calling her pathetic, and she cried. Then I laughed with the pretty girl as if we had done something great, some of the onlookers laughed, some said we were wrong, and we were all triumphant.

How hateful, we were not punished for anything, just an education, and the fat girl was comforted.

God knows what I was thinking at the time, it was probably that I wanted to be in the limelight in a new environment, in a new group, to declare my existence to other children, and to please that beautiful girl, to show her that I was strong, and to show others that she was mine. The girl did get along with me for a while, but I soon discovered that her shallowness stemmed from my troubled conscience, and I knew it was wrong, especially when I became friends with the fat girl.

Because I had a troubled conscience, I talked to her from time to time, and I became friends. She's not your typical Carrie, she's the kind of person who is a bit noisy and everybody's pistachio, and I noticed her kindness and cheerfulness, and I know that she actually cares and doesn't like anyone to make fun of her.

The more I found out, the more I realized how wrong I was. I can still vividly remember the scene of me bullying her with the pretty girl, and what we probably said. It was the only intentional bullying I can remember, trash talk on the pitch, boys' fights, I don't think that's counted, and I think I must have had unintentional bullying, and it won't be less, but I don't know.

That bullying changed me, and I gradually became fond of meeting people who were called freaks, idiots, bullies, like Lev, like Noah, and a lot of my good friends you know. Because I know how kind these people are, how sincere they will be when I make friends with them, and how much they need the sincerity of others. Strangely, I never made a sincere formal apology to the fat girl, and we never saw each other again after we went to different secondary schools.

Not everyone will be as open-minded as I am, and nine times out of ten bullies will always be bullies, continuing from kindergarten all the way through high school and beyond. And Carrie grew up with less and less being able to stay in school for even a second longer, it was almost hell.

Everyone knows that is not good, but those children and teenagers don't care, let their evil, competitive nature, expressiveness, stupidity, and hormones do wrong, but never think much about what kind of impact their words and actions on others will have on others, maybe indelible psychological damage.

"Can you blame me?", "Why don't you say it?", "Who knew you were so vulnerable", "Hahaha!" Bullies always have a lot of reasons, some just don't repent, and those are called bad people. Their naivety and ignorance can be forgiven, but their arrogance and coldness are unforgivable and truly evil.

It has been said that when young people make mistakes, God forgives. God can forgive them, forgive me, not Carrie.

I know a lot of Carrie, there is a typical Carrie, there are more atypical, some Carrie is very fierce, she can explode at any time, don't think that no one can bully her, that is the means she uses to protect herself; some Carrie is very funny, it is not so embarrassing to be a clown and be teased by others; some Carrie is like an invisible person, no one bullies her, but no one cares about her, everyone doesn't even know her name, that is a kind of cruel group bullying in itself.

School is a beautiful battleground where everyone is divided, competing in their own circles, surviving in the whole, showing themselves and protecting themselves in a variety of ways. Sometimes it's in the limelight, sometimes it's licking its wounds in the dark.

The old version of "Carrie" presented the type of Carrie we are most familiar with and the most openly bullied, and it is also the traditional Carrie of the 70s. Nowadays, that kind of Carrie may be rare, and there are more types of Carrie who look cheerful and normal with only a little bit of "special". The positioning of the new version of "Carrie" is the latter, a new Carrie, a microcosm of this group of people. The bullying suffered by the new Carrie may not be so clear, but the psychological trauma is no less than that of the old Carrie.

Nina, your Carrie is good because you have actually performed the new Carrie with your creativity, observation, and emotion brilliantly.

It's a pity that the new version of "Carrie" made a huge mistake, it had the courage to reform people's understanding of Carrie, Carrie's mother, school bullying, etc., but it was not able to do a good job, and in the end it could only hastily imitate the old version, nothing. I'm referring to the team behind the scenes, specifically Kimberly Pearce.

I really had false expectations of Kimberly, I should say that she had already proved who she was with "Boys Don't Cry", she was a master at digging into the psychology of the characters and creating the atmosphere, and she was very suitable for telling this story, so she got the director's mic. I kept reminding her that this is a horror film, and we must do a good job of creating a depressing atmosphere, and everything else will come later, which is a premise. Kimberly agreed with me, but it didn't materialize.

Originally, I thought I could see a kind, pretending to be strong, enthusiastic and beautiful Carrie, but the problems of a single-parent family, the constant overt bullying and invisible bullying on the campus caused progressive damage to her, but everyone didn't expect that this little girl, who was not even a pitiful worm and a public laughing stock, had been hurt to the point of going crazy, and finally after a prank at the prom, she exploded.

At that time, the killing of the old Carrie was taken for granted and people inside and outside the movie would understand, and I imagine that the killing of the new Carrie was unexpected, and the people in the movie did not understand but the audience understood, just like many school shootings, at first glance so sudden, unreasonable, "no one thought he would do this, he is a good boy", in fact, everything has a cause and effect. Think about it, have you ever been involved in laughing at someone in a group? You have no ill intentions, that person is hurt, don't do that.

In order to explode in the prom scene, everything needs to be foreshadowed, and Carrie's pain and the badness of the bad people must be profoundly portrayed. If the audience doesn't forgive them, that's not good, it's just a happy revenge, but there is nothing to be happy about the campus killing; the audience needs to be emotionally between forgiving and not forgiving, between substituting and not substituting for Carrie, like watching and killing with their own hands, the good guys and the bad guys die together, everything is a terrible tragedy, then it will be completely chilled, heartbroken, heartbroken, and trembling.

The old version did it, and it did it perfectly. Brian de Palma is a master, and his use of the camera, the rhythm of the editing, the soundtrack, etc., are bold and crazy and just right, and Kimberly can't beat them all. It's not that there is no chance of a tie or even better, because we have the advantage of special effects, but unfortunately what we have now is just mediocre sci-fi action scenes, lacking the power of horror.

The biggest problem is the lack of terrifying emotions. The new version is not about making any emotional changes, all horror stories are the same emotions, fears, and all fears are born out of powerlessness. "Carrie" is the fear of unsalvage tragedy, as long as it is a horror film, no matter how it is filmed, it must lead to this situation with its own path.

However, it was not done. Why not?

One of the big reasons is that the characters in the old version are complex, more or less, there are bad parts in the good people, and there are good parts in the bad people, in the middle of a story that can be saved into happiness, like I used to bully others, but I am not a heinous bad person, I am ignorant, I can be good, the bully and the bullied can be friends. The old version first gave the audience such hope, which has already been realized, everyone is cheering and applauding Carrie, and then it will be completely destroyed, and the pig's blood will be drenched.

The new version deals with good and evil clearly, and it lacks convincing, those who are not real people, no one is only one-sided, especially teenagers who are not mentally mature. When good and evil are clear, the audience doesn't have that kind of tangled emotion, and the good guy dies, "Oh, not good." "The bad guy dies," Oh, good. "There's nothing scary about it, it's just funny. Another big reason is that the atmosphere of the film is not implemented at all, only the brightness and gentleness of some youth campus films are pushed to the prom scene without constituting an emotional impact, resulting in the audience neither nervous nor understanding Carrie, such as many people complaining that the new Carrie's outburst is a sudden anger.

It's not that you didn't perform well, to do these things well, acting is the last link. First of all, the script had to be done, and I wasn't happy with the script at first, but because of my limited power and how weird I was at that time, I let it go. It had room to shoot it, but Kimberly slammed it up, half of the blame lay with her, and the other half with the office that was pointing her fingers.

How much responsibility do the actors have for this failure? It's not something that actors can control, influence, and decide, you're just being dragged away.

This can be the fault of any creator, but not the actor's. Nina, especially you, you acted very well, much better than you did in "The Exorcism Video", but your light never got a chance to bloom in this movie, but instead became inexplicable in the eyes of those who didn't know the inside story.

Think about what a pity, if it was originally filmed, the new version of "Carrie" will not be mediocre if it can surpass the old version, it will tell this horror story from another direction, improve and update the other side of "Carrie". To be honest, I regret it, I should have been an executive producer, and it might have turned out better.

It's too late to say anything, the mistake has already been made, and we can only swallow the bitter pill.

Nina, I didn't show up for the premiere of Carrie before, and that's one of my new unintentional bullies lately, and I didn't know it was going to hurt you, otherwise how could I not be there? I'm sorry. I have my stupidity, this is one of them.

Many times bullying does not stem from hatred, but from indifference.

I know you must be suffering from this defeat right now, and you are indifferent to you? I can't do that. So I'm writing this letter, I'm here in Toronto, and I'm going to tell you very clearly, don't blame and hate yourself, those cynicisms about your Carrie are basically scolding the wrong people, and a lot of them are out of malice, don't care, don't let them bully you.

There are also well-intentioned disappointments, including the mean ghost Roger Albert, who wrote reviews of movies he watched in his hospital bed, and he was just disappointed. I know it's not good to let people down, Nina, I'm miserable too! I've never liked to fail, but I'm not afraid of failure, a little bit, as you said.

We have experienced the joy of success in "Exorcism Video" together, and now we have experienced the bitterness of the failure of "Carrie" together, and there will be successes and failures again and again in the future, what's the big deal? It's not a big deal.

Yes, sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail, and life is always moving forward no matter what.

As long as you believe and work hard, everything will be fine.

"After the film started, the boring cliché story made me lose patience very quickly, and Nina Dubov's poor performance made Carrie look like a brightly colored trash, and I began to beat my feet impatiently, anticipating the arrival of that decisive moment at the ball scene. But when that moment arrived, I was completely disappointed with the film, and this remake was really unnecessary. —1 star, Shane-K

"While Julianne Moore and some other young actors did their best, it was still soulless and meaningless. The new version of Carrie has good intentions but is full of mistakes, the most wrong of which is trying to imitate the version of the great Brian de Palma.
