Chapter 166: Influencing the World From Now On
"Hahaha, what did I tell you?"
Columbia City, the summer breeze is light, in the park, looking at the cramped and restless appearance of a few friends, Kelsey is in a good mood, "Say it, say it"
"You said that VIy would be successful...... "You said that "The Wedding is Coming" would be very good. "Kelsey, I admire you so much"
A few little girls said in a loud voice, they are Asian and white, looking at her with a look of admiration, now Kelsey is cool, she is the earliest VIy fan, and the VIy spokesperson in their circle now wants to make friends with Kelsey except for those who "I don't like Asians".
"I don't have anything to admire, just admire" Kelsey smiled, she has changed a lot lately, she has become a cool child because of the light.
She also has to be mature and wise, don't lose the face of her idol, wave her hand and say, "The previous bet is over, and we're fine." ”
"Awesome" The little girls cheered, and then talked about Ye Wei, "Did you read his blog yesterday?", "I saw it, it's very interesting"
"Don't you care about the box office of 'The Wedding is Coming'?" Kelsey's expert tone is worthy of the spokesperson, "It's all over 10 million dollars, it's amazing."
"What?" they asked quickly.
Ranking--Number of release weeks--Number of theaters/change---Average---Box office of the week-Total box office
1o - 4th week - 1o6 (67) - 1o, 13B - 1o, 66-14 - 18, 4866B
The figure of exceeding 10 million box office of 18.48 million in a single week absolutely recovers the cost of production and industry, and is absolutely profitable
This shocked the world, and the box office alone looked nothing special, and this week it was only ranked tenth; The yield is not unprecedented, and there are many films that are higher than it, such as the documentary "Code of Me" in the 7th week of release3. The cost of 60,000 has received 20,000 box office (the one-year-old director Morgan Poole Rock has also been hot recently, and he has also been on "The Daily Show"); But the 6-year-old prodigy is only available in "The Wedding is Coming".
Ye Wei officially became the youngest director at the box office of 10 million in history
And this is a remake of a bad movie with limited creation, although it claims to have a production cost of 60,000, only O million is really used by Ye Wei for the remake.
As H's weekly box office report writes, this is yet another box office miracle, an incredible miracle
In the 6th week, "The Wedding is Coming" will increase to 1o89 theaters and continue to be released on a large scale, and no one knows how high this phoenix can fly.
And "The Rescued" only - theaters (homes) received o90,000, the trend is 4Bo, next week - 6 theaters, its potential has been exhausted, and the total box office of more than 8o will be its report card. In fact, with its production fee of 260,000, it did not make money at the box office, with a good beginning and no good ending.
A new star jumped up this week, the second place "Napoleon", which received FD60,000 in 18 theaters (an average of 19,6, and will increase to 73 next week, which looks like a big deal.
"No debt, no trouble, success, Mom, top of the world"
On the lawn of the Ye family's backyard, Ye Wei held the flowers on his back and rushed around happily. Duoduo patted his head happily and shouted childishly: "Mom, the top of the world" Toto ran to the side, his little tail flying.
On the porch of the house, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao hugged each other, smiling so happily and gratifying.
"I was wrong, I was wrong"
When it comes to "The Wedding is Coming", Gozman is so emotional to everyone, and "My Grand Greek Wedding", which has experienced a production cost of 260,000 yuan, has been a wild success. 600 million (*.) 400 million North American box office, 200 million overseas box office, 61 weeks, 37 days in North America), he thought that there was no small-cost miracle that could surprise him anymore, but ......
At first, I thought Ye Wei was a little poison and didn't support risking investment in him; The film was remade, thinking that the screening was just a process, and there would be no second week; Then the response was very good, thinking that the box office could collect 60,000 yuan, and then 260,000 ?660,000 ?1o 60,000?
No, it has already reached 18.48 million according to this momentum, 20 million is certain, and 30 million is also very likely
And "The Wedding is Coming" is just an unexpected sweet joy, their real investment is the little beauty of the sunshine", and the future of the talented Ye Wei is the most attractive
VIy can bring more, more, more
Hanks agrees 100 percent with Gozman, telling his wife, Rita, many times lately, "Investing in this young man is one of the smartest life decisions I've ever made."
"It seems that way. Rita, of course, agreed.
The positioning of the commercial comedy of "Happiness Terminal" did not make it a bomb, with only 790,000 per week (on average,, ranking second (the winner of this week was "Crazy Dodgeball", 370,000), and the evaluation was only barely passing, and it obviously couldn't sell well.
Although it is supported by the global market, with the appeal of Spielberg Hanks, it is not difficult to recover 60 million production fees in theaters alone, but this cannot satisfy anyone.
It's actually a little ugly, after "The Old Woman Killer", Hanks almost fell again, but fortunately, "The Wedding is Coming" helped him and gave him a gloss.
He has accepted several interviews about digging and investing in Ye Wei, and the media laughed at him as the "god of weddings".
At the same time, Ye Wei appeared on the cover of the latest issue of "Entertainment Weekly", and the handsome hard photos were themed on the set, showing his charm as a young director, with the title: "Genius Power, Ye Wei"
This is an era of globalization, and the Asian media are also enthusiastically following this miracle, this Chinese prodigy, especially the Chinese media
Mainly online new media, and those who do not pay attention to European and American entertainment will not know, 2o4 Chinese network and global network are very young, that is the era when the whole people listen to "Mice Love Rice", talking about sweat, fainting, and falling. But many lively places such as cat flutter and paste bar are also lively, Ye Wei, Ye Wei, and Ye Wei Bar all have fans and fans, and you can also see some controversial or smearing voices.
For example, does Ye Wei speak Chinese? Does he recognize himself as Chinese?
People who don't like him say that he absolutely doesn't understand, and he can't even write his own Chinese name, does he have a Chinese name? Not to mention understanding Chinese culture, fake foreign devils, traitors
People who like him say that according to the English information, you should understand, his Chinese name is Ye Wei, his grandfather is an officer of the Anti-Japanese War, how is it a traitor?
At this time, Sina.com got in touch with Ye Wei's brokerage team and wanted to do a telephone interview, and Ye Wei readily agreed.
On this day, this interview has also been published on the front page of the website, and the fans who learned about it clicked to view it for the first time, and the sunspots were ready to move at the same time.
"Self-deprecation?"
Albert read this film review of Ye Wei on the "Los Angeles Times", his old brows furrowed, thinking back to "The Great Napoleon", where is the self-deprecation? This kid doesn't look like he's talking nonsense......
After thinking for a while, he said, "Boy, why is that movie self-deprecating?"
The two met at the screening ceremony of "The Wedding is Coming", and they also exchanged business cards, but they usually have no contact, but this time the old man is really incomprehensible and can't ask.
"Hey, Roger......" Ye Wei's voice was a little surprised, "You mean "The Big Man" Napoleon? Uh, I think...... It laughs at itself from beginning to end, and at the beginning Napoleon answers the kid and says, 'I can do whatever I want, oh my God, he told a kid about the film, and the whole bus was full of kids, KT6 kids; teasing)"
"Isn't this just playing tricks on freaks?" Albert asked, adding, "You've seen 'Welcome to the Dollhouse,' I gave it 4 stars, the same teenage pain, the same freak loser, it's full of anger, passion, and character rebellion, brutal, spicy, philosophical, dark humor, and it's director and screenwriter Todd Sorenz's debut."
And what about Napoleon? Everything he did was self-deprecating, and even he laughed at his own efforts, and then he suddenly had a freak and a weird dance, and why did the audience feel so much? It's like when you look at a retarded person doing simple handicrafts, and you excitedly say it's amazing, it's just shameless superiority and pity
Director Jared Hess, he didn't want to explore anything at all, and in the end it was a Hollywood-style happy ending. The ending of "Welcome to the Dollhouse" is another sad school year that awaits the girl, what a constant irony of Napoleon here, only some unrealistic rhapsodies. ”
"Napoleon is not Daune, and 'Big Man' Napoleon is not 'Welcome to the Dollhouse.' Ye Wei laughed helplessly, "It's not about adolescent pain, it's not so cruel and ruthless, I also love Daun, but it's a very strict world, and Napoleon's world also has a real side: we grew up in a daze."
And it's also spicy, Napoleon also used a time machine and he also wanted to go back to the 8 years, before that he had been making a lot of efforts to change his life, he failed, so he wanted to go. It's the same as Welcome to the Dollhouse, isn't it? You've tried a lot, but it's still a mess.
The difference is its happy ending, which is one of the reasons why I love it, Napoleon himself has not changed in fact, he just has some hope.
His hope is obtained through hard work, courage and luck, and the key is, do you think nerds can explode? I think so, the nerd explosion won applause, not because he was no longer a nerd, but because everyone knew him more.
You know some movies that uncover the scars in people's hearts, and some movies that heal those scars. The film is both self-deprecating and encouraging, so that when the freaks are down, they can say to themselves: 'I'm a Napoleon, and I can be a Napoleon.'" , why are teenagers excited to watch this film, because it gives them dreams"
"Then you still say self-deprecation?"
"Laughing and dreaming, that's cool"
Albert was silent for a long time before he said, "Boy, you are very emotional. I think nerds can explode, but it shouldn't be in that comedic way. ”
"Roger, why are you so strict? Let go of "Welcome to the Dollhouse", it's 2o4 years now. ”
After the call, Albert fell into deep thought again, maybe he should watch Napoleon again.
"Yes, of course, we'll talk about it in detail when the time comes. ”
Home office, put down the phone, Maurer shouted happily, new job interview invitation, photographer for the family comedy project "Imp on the Road" That's a project with a budget of 6o This is the fourth or fifth opportunity he has recently gotten it, although it may not be negotiated in the end, but his position in the industry is no longer marginal.
Because "The Wedding Date is Coming", he turned over and rose up, just like the old man of time forgave him and let him regain his youth, hahaha
I love VIy, I love VIy
It's not just Maurer, it's Peter Heller who shouts this, his reputation as a producer can't go back to the state it was before the "Jordan Heirs" screwed up, but he's safe, studios and investors are willing to believe him again, and he's survived life's difficulties and hasn't been eliminated from the film industry
There's also screenwriter Carsten McCann, editor Suzanne Hines, and soundtrack artist Christopher Leonards, who was almost killed by Soul Flight......
And the luckiest are "Bourne" Todd Segi and "Kana" Ashley Imarto, two older actors who were unknown and did not have an Indb profile photo, suddenly received a lot of supporting role auditions for comedy movies, and the contract for the next film contract was in front of them.
Not only that, but with the current box office, they can also get a postpaid salary and bonus, which is great
Not only them, but Michael Crane Ent was also excited, and now the script of "Little Beauty in the Daylight" is a certain, certain and definite thing, and I believe that VIy can be filmed well
With Ye Wei's success, Salton lawyers have also had a lot of new clients, and they are all on the rise
It's done, Mom, the top of the world
And Nicolas Dicchi and Gia Coppola have also been widely praised for their performances this time, and the Coppola family has really been in the limelight this year.
Some people are lucky, others are unlucky. Kevin Thomas, the more successful Ye Wei is, the more he is scolded, there is no place for him in the film industry, he is completely finished
"Weige, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, can you let me go?"
That night, Kevin Thomas got drunk and was thrown out of the bar, and he sat on the corner and made a phone call, talking excitedly.
"I didn't do anything about you, it was your own fault that sent you into the abyss, if you want me to publicly say that I forgive you, believe that you have changed, get out of here. But can I stop you from making a movie? If you want to make a movie, who can't stop you, and if you want to change it, no one can stop you. But you -- Kevin Thomas -- don't have much to say to you, so be it. ”
Doodoo―
The phone falls to the ground, and Kevin Thomas falls drunk, a street man alive.
On Saturday, June 2, Roger Albert adjusted the rating of "Napoleon the Great" from 6 stars to 2 stars on his official website, and added a paragraph after the original film review: "I was told that this film has a self-deprecating side, and it is true that it has some self-deprecating moments, but it cannot hide its shallowness and rhapsody.
Despite this, the media and the public know that this is the recognition of Ye Wei's film review, and the half star was won back by VIy, shining with VIyR spoon light on it
That's it, influence
Jared and Jerusha, seeing this change, were in disbelief.
"The Wedding is Coming" is almost a month away, and during this time, Lovett has not been at ease for a day, and he wants to talk to Willis about it several times, but every time he speaks, Willis turns the topic away with a wrong face, and he can't continue.
The big man didn't trouble him, and he gradually thought that it was okay, but the superstar was moody, so he was still scared...... Then it was born, and Willis's angry phone call came suddenly.
""The Wedding is Coming" is going to hit 20 million at the box office, you know? They're about to announce the "Little Beauty in the Daylight" project, and the whole world wants to know that I'm an idiot?"
