This week, there are five new films released on a large scale in the North American film market, namely the family comedy "New Full House of Joy", the romantic song and dance film "Rent a Guitar", the romantic comedy "A Friend", and the two crime comedies "Crazy for Love" and "Desperate Christmas Eve", all of which are dismal.

None of them have a good box office, and the 4,000 production fee of "Jiwu Rental" is only 19.3 million in nine days, and the best "New Joy Full House" is just that.

I really can't help it, in this Thanksgiving schedule, "Harry Potter" is the best choice for families who want to watch blockbusters, and if you want to watch reality comedies, why not watch the dream lineup, word-of-mouth explosion LMS? and "Walking with Songs".

These 5 poorly rated new films have no advantage, and the studios actually have no expectations for them to arrange this, but such a poor result is still unbearable.

It's a year of mixed joy and sorrow, Pride & Prejudice, Brokeback Mountain are the happy parts, and "Desperate Christmas Eve" and LMS are the sad parts.

"Desperate Christmas Eve" is the worst new film of the week, with only 6.02 million in nine days, 46% freshness and 43% favoritism, which is even worse than "Game of Brave 2".

Its co-producers are called Ron Yeksa and Albert Berger, and the two were the repurchasers of the original LMS script, and they sold the script to Focus, but later did not match Ye Wei's bid of 500,000, and they had the opportunity to serve as the second and third producers of LMS, but they were kicked out by Ye Wei because they wanted to seize power.

The current situation is really ironic and embarrassing!

Yexa and Berger made a name for themselves because of "Cold Mountain", but the failure of the two films this year has buried a qiē.

Another of their films, Queen Bee Season ($14 million production fee), was released on November 11 and was released by Fox Searchlight. Its first week was also the first week of LMS, but it was 21 theaters, and it expanded to 277 in three weeks, and the box office has not yet broken a million, only 901,818, and that's it.

Because it also has a terrible review, 43% freshness and 35% likability, it can be said that it has not attracted so much attention.

If Dakota Fanning had been cast in "Eliza" in the first place, director Scott McGee thought that another young actor, Flora Cross, was more like Juliette Binoche, the mother of "Eliza", so he chose Cross.

As a result, Fanning escaped a defeat, and Kroos, who made his screen debut, became a scapegoat, and the road ahead is really not easy. Sometimes, luck is so important!

The failure of the two producers has nothing to do with luck, the two films together cost 30 million, and they were completely wasted, and they have nothing to do with the box office, and they have nothing to do with this year's awards season. For the two films that coveted the trophy at the project stage, this is a complete failure, and there is no room for anything.

The industry status of the two fell to the bottom, and they barely had one more chance, failed again, and were out.

If they hadn't wanted to take power and join the LMS crew, they would be ......

Rise above the clouds in the sky!

After this week, the LMS officially surpassed 1 of 1994's "Dumb and Dumb". 2.7 billion, not counting inflation, has become the highest-grossing road movie in North American history.

At the same time, Ye Wei's previous box office declaration on "The Daily Show" officially came true, 1. 300 million?

The recent reports on VIY are also really crazy, according to Hitfix.com, including the Coen brothers, Quentin Tarantilo, Guy Ritchie and many other big directors known for their dark humor and cults have joined the camp of praising LMS and prodigies.

Guy Ritchie, who became famous at the age of 30 with a "Two Big Smoking Guns", said: "I love it, and if I had seen it earlier, it would have made my film more passionate."

Quentin Tarantilo, 42, said: "I've seen all the road movies, and I've never watched them as much as this one, and it's not even violent. It's not in the genre of Bonnie and Clyde, but it came at a good time. He also said that Ye Wei "is a master, like a mythical character, he makes the director's profession a young girl who is all applauding, they will be like 'Oh-my-God, he's-so-cool!'"

When it comes to black humor and loser movies, the Coen brothers are a pair of masters who have to be mentioned.

Ethan Cohen, 48, said: "As a viewer, it's a lot more fun to watch a loser's movie than to watch a successful person like Elvis. A loser needs miraculous luck, or the courage to accept fate, or keep trying, until the tragedy that fails swallows you comes. What LMS offers us is another, the courage to accept failure but not fate. ”

Joel Cohen, 51, said: "Losers always carry a lot of heavy crosses, it's hard to be confident, it's easy to be self-loathing, because people always tell you 'you're a loser' and you can't object to it." Ethan Cohen chimed in: "Life always fails, so what's the matter!"

Speaking of Ye Wei, the two brothers' appreciation is even more beyond words.

Joel said: "It's easy to turn a career into a career. In the beginning, everything was fresh and exciting, and the experience will never be repeated. So in a kind of way, when you start uphill, you're going downhill. Although your ability may be higher and higher, the movies you make will only be reduced to a professional product, and you will not see a passion. At times like these, you will be very envious of young people. Ye Wei started very early, and his passion moved me, and I hope he can keep it for thirty years before surrendering, so that we can have a lot of good movies. ”

"There are not many people who are qualified to make movies artistic and romanticized. Ethan said, "The current Ye Wei must be one, continue like this in a few years, we should make a biopic of him." Joel interjected: "It's not about losers, is it?" Ethan laughed: "Try to shoot genius themes, maybe you can get some passion back." ”

It's not just the big directors who are praising it, but the reports, reviews, and features are like snowflakes flying, and various voices are intertwined:

"10 million people have heard the F-word-MPAA, a great spectacle presented by independent cinema", "VIY has created the most incredible prodigy with absolute talent", "You can call him Steven Spielberg Jr., or you can call him Ye Wei, he will be crazy for many years to come"

"When the old enemy and old friend Jared Hess and Jerussa Hess's new film "Mad Father" has just finished, 17-year-old Ye Wei has shocked the world twice"

"Whether or not it becomes the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Director, it is certain that VIY will occupy an increasingly important position on the film stage"

"New pop idol! The Internet actually launched a signature campaign to support Ye Weijin's Oscars"......

Whether Ye Wei is a pop idol or not remains to be verified by Q scores, but he is already the idol of many young idols.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the well-known old news like Emma Roberts, and recently another Emma, Emma Watson also expressed her admiration for Ye Wei, she talked about her growth and expectations for the future in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying: "I want to play some roles in literary dramas, and I hope to cooperate with an excellent young director like Ye Wei." ”

There is an opportunity, and you can't act in other movies because you don't have to act in the Harry Potter series.

Daniel Radcliffe's independent family film "December Boys" is being filmed, which is his first film outside of the HP series. Rupert Grint also starred in an independent drama "Life Driving Lesson" in June this year, which will be released next year.

But there aren't many opportunities, and their high profile has pros and cons, because unlike other stars, their own names are actually lower than "Harry", "Ron" and "Hermione", and the audience will exclaim, "What, isn't this Harry?" when they see Radcliffe, so not every crew is willing to use them.

In addition, each episode of HP has to be filmed for a very long time, and they also have to juggle their studies, and it is also because there is some free time between 4 and 5 that they can make other movies.

However, Emma Watson has not, and while Radcliffe and Grint are both testing the waters for independent films, whether she will also play something has been attracting much attention from the outside world.

Now it's clear that she wants to act in Ye Wei's movie, and she is expressing her position.

The reason for his statement is obviously related to a recent news, Ye Wei's new project will focus on the theme of girls. The competition for "Lovely Bones" is already known to fans and fans, and just after the Thanksgiving holiday, he announced that he would take over "Soul Surfer", and this project has no conflict with TLB.

Desch Hofstedtle, a spokesperson for the Bethany Hamilton team, was pleased to tell the media: "This true story has found the right receiver. ”

Bethany, who had already said on the ESPY podium that he was a fan of Ye Wei, said happily: "Wei's film encouraged me, and he inspired me again in the exchange of adapting my story into a screenplay." I'm so honored to have him do it. ”

Ye Wei called Bethany's experience a real and exciting miracle, and his strong optimism fascinated him.

As for why he focused on the theme of girls, he joked that it was because he was a young boy, and quoted a classic line from the old road movie "Beyond the Vortex" (1947): "Women are miracles because they make all men look mediocre." ”

For VIY's exclamations and punchlines, the media and the public are no longer surprised that he would speak like this, is it still Ye Wei?

In IMDb, there are more than 100 entries in the "Personal Quotations" column of his filmmaker profile, and it is great that the generally popular and "talkative" filmmakers are compiled into 50 items, and basically few of them are classics, just what they said.

But these "VIY said", almost every sentence exudes a charming atmosphere of humor, upliftment, wisdom, poisonous tongue, frivolity, rebellion, personality, etc.

"What did I miss......" When Liz Olsen browsed the IMDb page, she thought that the scroll wheel of the mouse would pass, but she didn't expect it to look at one by one, some even the whole article, the more she read, the clearer the feeling: I adore this guy.

"I already have a mind for apologizing, and I will never apologize for this matter", she was hit hard by this sentence, she liked it too much, calm, rebellious, and manly, the first half of the sentence was like "Apologize for this matter, I think about it and I am very upset, I think about it", but the second half of the sentence is "I will never apologize".

After reading all of his quotes and inquiries here, Liz's feeling is, this dude, Really-Cool!Really-Well!Really-Handsome!

On the fourth weekend of LMS's release, VIY fans had another happy moment, another typical Ye Wei, and another typical Yunik Kuller!

That breath has long been spit out, but you might as well continue to lash out at those who once looked down on you!

There is no need to yell or laugh a few words to shake the world.

This fucking world of horses.

Ye Wei: "I'm sorry, everyone. Regarding the North American box office estimate of "Little Sunshine Beauty", it turns out that I was really wrong, I apologize to everyone, I was wrong. ”

Yunik Kuller: "Speaking of which, do you think you can give me my 20,000 dollars in cash? I'm worried about giving the check that I'm going to have to settle with my accountant, which could put me in a high, uh, tax ......."
