"I want to watch "The Wedding is Coming"" clicks: 1,362

On Monday, April 26th, the movie edition of the Los Angeles Times officially opened a new Monday column "viy said", and the first issue of the opening column occupied a page!

In the upper left corner is a handsome photo of Ye Wei's big head, in the middle is his opening article "Spoof Past and Present Life", in the upper right corner there is a profile of him, introducing all aspects of his achievements, especially his enthusiasm for charity, and in the lower right corner is a small picture of him attending the CDF charity gala before.

A sunny and handsome, civil and military genius!

Now, it's impossible for all the readers of the Los Angeles Times film edition not to know the 16-year-old.

Brian was also very pleasantly surprised by this opening specification, a page is simply George Clooney's married treatment, which is amazing! It is said that this was the idea of the editor-in-chief, John S. Carroll, and the old man believed that Ye Wei had a bright future, and that would be a rich fortune and "new vitality" for the newspaper -- that was the nickname he gave Ye Wei.

Seeing that the popularity of idols has reached another peak, fans are also pleasantly surprised, and this is probably how Buffett feels when he watches the market!

"The Past and Present Life of the Spoof" is still written so sharply, and the abundance of the layout allows him to sway freely, first talking about the origin of the spoof's film history, from Chaplin to "Duck Soup", from "Unprecedented Flying in the Sky" to "Bald Detective" and then to "Ace Big Spy", "Off Line Family", "Fighting Condor", "Police Heroes", "Screaming", "American Pie", ......

He uses smooth and concise prose to roughly clarify the growth of spoof comedy, talking about their techniques, such as the groundbreaking satirical narration, use of video footage and innovative physical skills in "Duck Soup", and also talking about their spirit, like the endless jokes of "Bald Detective" and "Ace Spy" are cheap and cute.

His point is still bold and interesting, and a little arrogant:

"After the spoof craze from the '90s to the present, it seems that everyone is going to become pillager, and they have no intention of creating new satirical jokes, and gradually focus on simple parody, which will make the newbie audience addicted. The following words are often used to describe spoof films nowadays, and it mocks "Movie 1", "Movie 2", "Movie 3", ...... There is a good saying: the elder brother has to earn money to support the family, and the younger brother has to pursue his dreams. ”

The words pillager!newbie!, used in such a way that some people applauded, some people were shocked, and some people were very angry.

What he meant was that movies like "Scream" were just plundering popular movies, deceiving rookies who didn't know much about spoofs and were attracted to theaters because of popular movies. And this last sentence of "vulgar saying" is actually a subtle joke, which can only be held back when fans or industry professionals who know a lot about spoof movies think about it.

55-year-old David Zucker and 53-year-old Jerry Zucker are both masters of the spoof industry, they created movies such as "Unprecedented Flying in the Sky", "Bald Detective" series, "Laughing Iron Curtain" and other movies, but in the 21st century, David "degenerate" took over the director's microphone of "Screaming 3", and Jerry, who has always been inseparable from his brother in the spoof career, did not participate in any position this time.

In fact, Jerry has always been much more literary than his brother, and he is the director of the classic romance film "Ghost Love".

How dare a kid satirize David Zucker and the "Screaming" series like this, and even make fun of the audience, is he bold?

Regardless of what the Zach Brothers will think, the article goes on to read:

You can't blame anyone, if you can make a lot of money in a cheap comedy way, and you still expect Hollywood to use your brains, then you have grasped the essence of spoofing.

But think about the future, there is already "Scream" (literally translated as scary movie), and there will definitely be "science fiction movie", "love movie" or "spoof scary movie", when every genre is again, the end of the parody era has come.

Not so quickly, for a long time, the filmmakers and the audience will enjoy it, like a newlywed, until they are fed up with each other's farts while they sleep.

And new stories, new jokes will never go out of style, I hope that when the time comes, we can still regain its soul, spoofs are not only a mockery of others, but also a mockery of ourselves, a crazy interpretation of ordinary life, beyond the unexpected, breaking common sense, absurd, very close to boredom, and far from boredom.

I also wanted to see "Three Hats Juggling" (a classic clip from "Duck Soup") and "two girls fighting in a bar" (a classic clip from "Flying All Over the World"), not just a parody. Anna Sophia agreed, and she said something very reasonable:

"Since entering the 21st century, nothing has gone right, I've grown taller, my dog and Paris Hilton have become movie stars, Beckham has left Manchester United...... Even if the Red Sox win the World Series, I wouldn't be surprised. ”

"Beckham what?"

"David-Back-Ham, no, Beckham. ”

Since then, David Zucker has had an additional nickname.

Very few people can directly understand this joke, usually only the first layer of laughter, it is a bit profound, just like this article, not as casual and ridiculous as the previous part, but it has a professional taste that is heavier than "Death on Film", Ye Wei fully demonstrated his understanding of spoof movies, which is amazing.

This kid understands movies and knows what it means to be a spoof! Whether it is an ordinary reader or a person in the industry, he will have this emotion after watching it.

And this is really another priceless advertisement, on the same page, but it is printed with the introduction of his remake of "The Wedding is Coming", he said it so well, and he looked down on "Screaming" and what kind of soul, then his spoof film is definitely not a simple parody?

The audience is looking forward to it, and the film critics are also looking forward to it, this article really speaks to the heart of the film critics' circle, and many film critics have nodded and praised, well said!

On the famous film review website "Rotten Tomatoes", "Screaming 3" has only 36% freshness, a little better than the 15% of the second part, and even the first part is only 54%, and their audience love is no more than 55%.

And "Unprecedented Flying in the Sky" is 98% and 89%!

It would have been a good thing to attract the attention and recognition of the film critics, especially for the current "all the way" publicity strategy, but Brian still sweated, as if walking into a place where the curtain was lowering step by step, is hell or heaven behind the curtain?

But maybe this screening can invite a few well-known film critics in the industry to attend......? Roger Albert?

If Roger Albert can be invited, if he can get his thumbs up, it will be heaven.
