- Who is Roger Ebert?
To put it simply, this 61-year-old man recognized the film critic as the second best, but no one dared to recognize the first.
He was the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism (1975), he had his own film review television show, he had a weekly review column in the Chicago Sun-Times for more than thirty years, he wrote books, His film reviews have been published in more than 200 newspapers around the world
He is a master of film criticism who truly understands the charm of movies and leads the world to experience it. When Spielberg was scolded by old Hollywood as an "engineer who makes entertainment films for ignorant teenagers," he was the first to give Spielberg a thumbs up. Two thumbs¡ª¡ªthis is his trademarked symbol. If a movie has these two thumbs on its DVD cover, it will be easy to sell.
His straightforward, pungent, and dryly humorous comments have become a balance in the hearts of the public, with good movies on one side and bad movies on the other.
Filmmakers are excited and honored to receive his praise, and film companies are ecstatic. Roger Ebert is about equal to the film critics! Except for certain times when he was exactly opposite to the popular attitude of film critics.
So, is Ye Wei a genius? Is "Wedding Day is Coming" good to watch? What's his potential? This old man is a touchstone!
Although Ye Wei became the youngest weekly columnist in the movie version, and "The Past and Present Life" also attracted the attention of film critics, but Albert! A blockbuster with a budget of over 100 million may not be able to impress critics even if it premieres with critics. A low-budget remake of a bad movie like "Wedding Day is Coming"
¡°And because Albert unfortunately suffered from cancer two years ago and has been fighting the disease, although his work as a film critic has not stopped, he has attended many fewer public events.
Inviting him to attend this matter can only be said to be a chance, maybe it will happen.
But who can tell clearly if it comes true, whether it will be a blessing or a curse? It is not easy to get a thumb.
Ebert's comments are still so venomous. If he is not happy after watching it, the review he wrote ends with: "I hate this movie, hate hate hate hate hate this movie, hate it. Hate all the fake, stupid, Pale, insulting moments, hating the self-righteousness of thinking people would like it, hating the fact that it implicitly insults the audience because it believes it can entertain everyone.¡±
¡ª¡ªThis is the end of his review of the comedy "The Bodyguard" in 1994.
¡°If this happens to Wedding Day, everything will be ruined.
So after sending out the invitation, Ye Wei undoubtedly took another step closer to the edge of the cliff.
¡¡
No matter what, as soon as the "VIY Said" column was published, millions of copies of newspapers were sold, and it was spread on the Internet, Ye Wei's popularity exploded to a new level!
The next day, the "Los Angeles Times" told Brian the good news. "The Last Life" was well received, once again! With an advantage of 21%, it once again topped the list of the most popular articles in the Monday movie edition! For four consecutive weeks, Ye Wei has dominated Mondays in April.
If he continues like this and writes film reviews, he can become the next Roger Ebert, and some people even call him "Little Ebert" now.
But there is one thing worth noting. Some readers have reported that some of the jokes in this issue are too high-end. I hope VIY can consider the cognitive level of ordinary readers. The one about dogs and Paris Hilton is very good! Let the poisonous tongue strike even more fiercely!
At the same time, some people in the industry responded enthusiastically, hoping that Ye Weiduo would create a funny joke like "David-Back-Ham". Someone told David Zucker, and it is said that he laughed out loud after knowing it, and couldn't stop laughing. Come.
Also laughing were Lovett and others. Now it¡¯s better. They were worried about how to get the film critics to focus on Ye Wei and had unrealistic expectations for him. Unexpectedly, they completed the work themselves. Take the initiative to go to the guillotine!
Now all you have to do is push this arrogant article, and a terrifying force will naturally form that will twist Ye Wei into pieces!
When the film critics booed him, how could he still have the nerve to claim to be a genius? With such public opinion, how could Pretton have the nerve to announce to the public that he would invest in his production of "Little Miss Sunshine"? Some people are willing to invest millions of dollars in him because he has commercial value and he is a genius idol.
If he is not, he will not only lose commercial value, but his ability to produce feature films will also be doubted. He cannot even make remakes. How can he make a completely new film?
Bill Gates had to hesitate when he came, and Hanks had to worry about his public image. It was not impossible to cancel the cooperation. So what if he signed a contract? There is no "definitely filmed" contract in the film industry. There was no such thing before. Never again.
Lovett seemed to be able to see Ye Wei looking like a drowned dog, embarrassed, distressed, regretful, sadand he was relieved! Willis, rejoice!
¡¡
After staying in the hospital for almost a week, Ye Haogen was discharged from the hospital. Naturally, his spirits improved a lot, and it was time for the clinic to reopen.
But Ye Wei and Gu Qiao severely stopped him and told him to rest for half a month! This is so anxious for him. How many customers will he lose in half a month? He bargained hard, working 8 hours a day, 6 hours? 5 hours! No more! It's okay, it's really okay!
However, it was useless to say anything. Ye Wei almost threatened with death, so Ye Haogen obediently took a vacation.
When "Wedding Day is Coming" is screened, things will be different. I want to change everything! With this belief in mind, Ye Wei continued to work hard all the time.
When you are busy, time will fly by very quickly, and it will enter May in a blink of an eye, and then May 5th will arrive.
That night, the Saturn Awards ceremony was held, and Jeremy Sumpter won the Best Young Actor award for "Peter Pan."
When he happily took the stage to accept the award and gave a speech, he said meaningfully to all the guests, the audience, and the media: "A guy said that my performance was very poor, and the audience hated me for playing Peter Pan, but now I You can use this award to tell him that he is just a boring person who doesn¡¯t understand anything.¡±
There was a round of warm applause from the audience. They all thought that the "some guy" Sumpter said was the person who criticized him. It is not a bad thing for a young man to be so tough, and it is also the naughty Peter Pan! So everyone thinks his words are great, even a little touching. He is a good actor who silently endures the pressure of comments and works hard!
There are only two other people in the world who know what Sumpter really means: Ye Wei, you are a pathetic little person, I have a bright future, and you are just an idiot who will disappear before he becomes famous!
On the same night, the "Promo Showdown" event on the official website of "Wedding Day is Coming" began!
Ye Wei and Gia Coppola¡¯s respective 5-minute promotional videos have landed on the official website, and fans who have been waiting for them are watching
At the same time, the first promotional poster also came out, still using the scene of the cake falling to the ground as its selling point. Ye Wei flew up with his right foot, and everyone, including the newlyweds, was horrified. There was a promotional slogan written on the upper right: " The most disastrous wedding ever, you all got your cake!¡±
There is no Kevin Thomas¡¯ name on the poster. There are only two prominent names, director, screenwriter and producer Ye Wei, and guest star Nicolas Cage!
There is also a screening date and location that fans are concerned about, May 27th, 13 Cinemas in the Beverly Center in Los Angeles!
Wherever you fall, get up! Everyone who participated in the premiere of the old version of "Wedding Day is Coming" was very excited. The last time the theater was in a bleak state, almost all the few audience members who bought tickets cursed and left the show midway. But this time it should be a different scene. !
No one is sure of anything, but they just can¡¯t suppress the expectations in their hearts. They imagine that the audience is full, and laughter resounds continuously through the screening hall. After everyone has finished watching the closing credits, they are reluctant to leave for a long time
"I want to watch "Wedding Day is Coming" Number of clicks: 6,831
¡¡
I received this invitation a few days ago. The old man was quite surprised. Such a young film genius?
He has been in the industry for almost 40 years. He has watched the changes of the times in Hollywood, movies, and the world. He has also watched the ups and downs of countless characters. He has seen countless classics and countless garbage. It is hard to find anyone or anything anymore. Movies can surprise him.
This time, just listening to it, he had this long-lost feeling. If this was some kind of commercial packaging, it would be a good idea.
So he watched the short film DVD that he received together, as well as several articles by that guy, which made him even more interested. At least it seemed that this was the case.
But the interest was not big enough for him to agree to attend the screening. He needed to think about it and observe it again. He didn't want to waste a whole night and tired himself by watching a worthless bad movie and being so angry that he didn't write an article. It doesn¡¯t even work to criticize it in the comments.
Knowing that it had released a promotional video on the Internet tonight, it was a new thing after all, and I had some free time. While writing the article, the old man opened the official website to take a look.
The webpage is quite beautifully made. He clicked on the "VIY-VS-GIA" activity and naturally saw the profile pictures of two young people. He couldn't help but smile. Children, don't let me down! Otherwise, you have to write something on the blog, which is bad for emotional people.
The old man thought for a moment, and first opened Gia Coppola¡¯s promotional video. The brisk music played, and Nicolas Cage was seen sitting on a lawn with a weird look.In the camera lens, a black-haired boy walked away angrily, "I want to resign!" Cage showed a strange expression.
¡°I can¡¯t stand it anymore. Those crazy couple made me understand completely that lovers are sons of bitches¡±
Accompanied by an angry voice-over, some footage was played, all of which were jokes made by the male and female protagonists of the film. They almost messed up everything, until there was a close-up of the heroine, who sighed in pain: "I want to cancel the wedding."
I watched half of the promotional video and it seemed interesting, but the old man had no expression on his face and no smile at all. Is that just that?
