    "Wedding Day" is a bad movie, so bad that the whole world thinks so.

    In fact, it¡¯s not the whole world, it¡¯s the 182 ticket-buying audiences who watched the movie at the Beverly Center on the weekend of November 7-9, 2003. ¡°SUCK¡± was their most sincere response to the movie.  For evaluation, if you want to say a few more words, "boring", "bad quality", and "idiot" are also good.

    It only received $1,092 at the box office during its opening weekend, which was undoubtedly a disastrous failure!

    According to data from the authoritative box office statistics website BOM, a total of 10 new films were released this weekend. The box office champion is the science fiction masterpiece "The Matrix 3", which took in a total of $48,475,154. The bottom box office is "The Matrix".  "Wedding Day is Coming", the gap between the two is more than 44,391 times.

    Genius and stupidity, praise and boos, crowds and silences, heaven and hell.

    But it¡¯s not just ¡°Wedding Day¡± that failed miserably. Only 3 of the 10 new films were released on a large scale. The number of other opening theaters was 27 for one, 3 for two, and 1 for four.

    "These four movies are all in the darkest corners of the film industry. It's hard to tell who is more miserable than the other.

    "Martin and Dr. Orloff" had a box office of $6,988, which passed the test. There is no problem in having a second week of release; "Forbidden Love" had a box office of $4,075, which is barely enough to give it a second week; "Americans Love Reading Stories" $2,  974 box office, because it is a documentary and is shown in documentary theaters, so it will be fine for a few more weeks.

    ¡°It seems that the worst thing is ¡°Wedding Day,¡± a comedy that grossed $1,000 in three weekends at the expensive Beverly Center. There is no chance of a second week unless it continues to lose money.

    No one noticed, no one cared, it was just one of the ever-lasting tragic stories in the film industry: a bunch of laymen made a joint venture to make a bad movie, lost a lot of money, and then simply got out.

    This is the saddest part of this matter. The quality of "Wedding Day is Coming" is terrible, and the box office is also terrible, but it cannot become a legend. It is just a piece of dust blown away by the wind.

    What is a bad legend?  Take a look at "Love from a Rich Girl", which has held the record for "worst opening weekend box office (opening in 600+ theaters)" for 12 years.

    In 1991, this romance film with a total cost of millions opened in 1,058 theaters and set the worst opening weekend box office record to date, with an average box office of $347 per theater, based on the average ticket price in 1991  Calculated at $4.21, on that weekend, it could not sell an average of one hundred tickets per theater, and there were no one hundred viewers!

    A week later, "The Love of a Rich Girl" was canceled across the board with a box office of $541,893, thus ending its ambitious run without another week.

    The producer "Far West" and the distributor "Third Studio" also went bankrupt and closed down, disappearing into the long river of history.

    This is the legend.

    Another tragic story about the everlasting prosperity of the film industry: a production company succeeds in one or two films, becomes ambitious, engages in large-scale production and distribution, and ends up becoming another loser that Hollywood has never lacked.

    Therefore, the shameful failure of "Wedding Day is Coming", except for its investors, no one from the outside world took a second look, and there was absolutely no news about it in newspapers and magazines.

    But now is the Internet era, it also has its own page on IMDb. It has just been rated by 7 viewers, with an average of 2.1\/10 points, and there are three short movie reviews:

    Audrey: "It's a piece of stinky shit. The poster made me think it would be funny, but I was only disappointed!" Junior: "It's weird how a bad movie like this can be released? Who are these people making movies? I almost  Vomit and leave!" Hammer: "Really, no movie has ever made me so depressed. I now understand what 'Bad-Movie' means. Thank you."

    It sucks, everything sucks.

    But Ye Wei's mood was not bad. For him, there was actually an extremely important piece of good news: his father was fine.

    Unlike the development of that nightmare, despite experiencing this fiasco, my father remained cheerful and jokingly said: "That's okay. The fewer people see this movie, the more we will have it, haha!"

    Therefore, Ye Wei feels a lot more relieved. He has successfully saved the biggest tragedy. Will he still be afraid of the hardships in the future?

    But he also had new worries. His father started a plan to make money desperately, and for the first time he went to work on weekends. However, he knew his father¡¯s health condition best. How could a person who could have a cerebral hemorrhage work crazy and overworked?

    And on the other hand, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, her mother was still busy looking for a job and looking for a nursery for Duoduo. In the past few days, she had browsed through various recruitment information and made many consultation calls. Next week, there will be a translation company  interview

    For mom and dad, for Duoduo and the whole family, Ye Wei knew that he had to do something quickly, time waited for no one.

    Although reality is very different from nightmares, Ye Wei's world has still undergone tremendous changes, like a derailed train heading towards an unknown future.

    He still took leave last Saturday to spend time with his family. After Sunday, on the new Monday, he continued to go to school.

    But Ye Wei was sitting on the school bus, walking on the road, attending the Monday assembly of the junior high school After just one weekend, there seemed to be something different. Those who were smiling and enthusiastic when they saw him a few days ago, now  When he is so transparent, it seems like you will get eye disease just by looking at him.

    His friends, on the other hand, hesitated to speak. In the end, they just said hello, then shook their heads and sighed when they walked away.

    What¡¯s wrong with him?  Ye Wei was a little confused, but just because he was thinking about something, he didn't pay much attention to it.

    At X time at noon, while eating in the cafeteria, he asked Lev and Bader: "Is there anything I don't know? Everyone is weird, and so are you."

    "Brother Wei this is so annoying!" Lev was already fuming before he could say anything. He glanced at the students at the tables around him. From time to time, those people cast one or two weird looks, as if they were all created by Frankenstein.  monster.

    Lev said angrily: "That bitch John Williams did something dirty. In the past two days, he has been sending text messages everywhere in the school circle about "Wedding Day is Coming""

    "I also received a message" Chen Nuo showed his phone helplessly, and Ye Wei took it and took a look. Sure enough, there was such a text message on the screen: "Ye Wei's movie "The Wedding is Coming" is showing at the Beverly Center.  If you want to have a peaceful sleep, just go to its screening room. P. s.: Wei is really brave, and so is his father. You know, not everyone dares to make such a bad movie.  Shameful, LOL.¡±

    "Ha." Ye Wei suddenly sneered. In the past, he had already publicized the movie in order to be in the limelight, acting like "Howard Hughes's son".

    So Williams knew this, and so did everyone. He looked around and said with a smile: "No wonder I became a plague god. Look, brothers, this is life!"

    "Brother Wei" Lev looked distressed, "I now understand the truth. When you have money, you have to spend it. Otherwise, when the money becomes waste paper, you will have nothing."

    After two days of spreading over the weekend, the whole school already knew that the whole world was completely turned upside down, and the only one who suddenly became a laughing stock, a wretch, and the son of a "bad dentist"

    Naturally, he is no longer the cool kid, and is labeled a "loser", even worse than a freak.  The uncool things about him before, such as his status as football captain, have become jokes. Now he has a new nickname, "Chief Bridesmaid"

    The girls who wanted to date VIY before have disappeared. Before Saturday, Lev could still become the center of attention by saying "I am VIY's best friend", but now when he says the same thing, he immediately gets all excited.

    "There's one more thing" Lev became more and more angry and took a hard bite of the waffle in his hand.

    "Say it." Ye Wei shrugged indifferently.

    "Lily Collins, she released the news, saying that she is not dating you and that you have no relationship." Lev suddenly looked like he was about to cry and said frantically: "How could she be like this, so realistic?  , Brother Wei, you just ran into a little trouble, and she abandoned you. "

    "Yeah, it pisses me off!" Bud on the other side was even more furious, "She said a few days ago that her heart was with Brother Wei."

    ¡°I¡¯ve told you a long time ago, how many times have I said it, that Collins and I are Batman and the Joker, and when we are together, we are only in a state of fighting.¡±

    Ye Wei rolled his eyes and said, but some scenes appeared in his mind, that hug, that kiss

    "She is definitely a clown! She is so insidious and vicious. Even if you are not dating, she knows that you need support now, Brother Wei, but she is busy drawing boundaries with you. How mean!"

    Lev was still full of anger, and Bud was gritting his teeth. Chen Nuo pushed up his glasses and sighed: "It is unforgivable to betray your teammates."

    Kerwin, who had been silent before, suddenly said: "I think we need to find out the time when she released the news and when John Williams released the news."

    "Even if she leaked the news first, she should know about Brother Wei's troubles by now, right? Why didn't she send a text message to comfort her? She has Brother Wei's number!" Lev disagreed and had already concluded that Lily Collins was evil.  The villain.

    "Don't worry about yourselves. To be honest, I don't care at all." Ye Wei said as he took a few bites of rice, looking very calm.

    On the dinner tableAfter some silence, the five of them ate for a while, and then Lev asked again: "Brother, are you okay at home? Is there anything you can do for me?" Bard and the others stopped when they heard this, and they were all concerned about these two people.  a question.

    "It's okay, thank you. I have a plan, and I want to do something big." Ye Wei's expression became serious and he looked at them, "I may need your help then."

    "Of course! If you have any ideas, just call me." Lev slapped his chest and said solemnly: "Brother Wei, we will support you, and that bitch will definitely regret it."

    Bud, Chen Nuo, and Kerwin all nodded. They all belong to the same camp, the Dream Chaser Alliance!

    After lunch, Ye Wei wanted to be alone and continue to browse magazines such as "Hollywood Creative Industries Guide", so he came to the library alone with a bag of reading materials.

    There were not many people in the library at noon. When he arrived at the reading area, he walked to the nearest long wooden table. On the other side of the wooden table, three girls were sitting and reading. When they saw him coming, they immediately started talking in panic, "Yes."  VIY!", "Oh my god, if others see us sitting at the same table with him, our high school life will be over", "I don't want to be called a loser"

    They stood up in a hurry, hugged the books and walked quickly inside. No one infected with leprosy could make them so scared.

    "Hey!" Ye Wei couldn't help but feel angry and funny. Well, even the teacher's darlings don't want to be in the same dimension as him!

    He suddenly laughed loudly and shouted: "Okay, girls! I am free this weekend, and I will take you to watch "Wedding Day is Coming". After watching, we will arrange the show, no problem!"

    The three girls immediately looked back with panic on their faces. What did he want to do?  VIY continued to shout: "I'm also looking forward to dating the four of you. My signature? Okay, I'll give it to you, but my handwriting is a bit ugly"

    "You bastard!!", "You damn!" They were so angry that they almost cried, "We don't know you!"

    They were cursing and speeding away, but some scattered eyes from afar around them were already looking at them.

    Ye Wei made a face. Think of it as an experiment. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number with the lip print, "Hey, beauty, I'm Ye Wei."

    "You made the wrong call." Before he could finish his sentence, he was hung up, leaving only a beep.

    "Bitch." He muttered, immediately deleted the number, and began to sit down at the wooden table, concentrating on reading the "Hollywood Creative Industries Guide". In the past few days, he had been busy with movie releases and watching his father's affairs.  Didn¡¯t watch much.

    Is there a saying that goes like this: "Frustrated in love, proud in the workplace." He flipped through the pages for a while, and when he was almost at the end of the book, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at a story on the page that was either being prepared for production or had been abandoned.  Film project¡­
