¡°It was not just an old man who was amused by these two promotional videos, especially Ye Wei¡¯s version, but also numerous fans and audiences. If their laughter was photographed and made into a highlight reel, it would definitely make people laugh.
I saw it! These 5 minutes lived up to the expectations aroused by film critics in "The Past and Present Life". VIY was not just saying it, he was really doing it, and he was doing it very well. They were pleasantly surprised. They saw a spoof, a retro spirit, and innovative techniques that were different from the mainstream of this era!
It has a clearer attitude than "Duck Soup" and "The Unprecedented", has a technical shadow of the comedy "Annie Hall", and is bolder than new era spoof films such as "Scream": this is a spoof movie, You also know it, so there is no need to be so prude.
But this kind of self-inflicted comedy that seems to be unnatural did not make the audience laugh or feel bored. It is still in the story, and it is absurd but has real feelings.
The talents of young people are on full display! If the feature film can have this look and feel, and even more surprises, "Wedding Day is Coming" will definitely be a masterpiece.
¡°Hi, Scott, have you seen Ye Wei¡¯s promotional video?¡±, ¡°Great performance, I¡¯m going to attend his screening.¡±, ¡°I wonder what he did with the cake.¡±¡
The film critics are in commotion! Scott Foundas, editor-in-chief of "Los Angeles Weekly", Jonathan Forman of "The New York Times", Richard Rope of "Albert & Rope"all contributed to "Scream" 3¡·The famous film critic who smashed Rotten Tomatoes!
Foundas called it "just a common imitation", Forman said it was "a banal parody", Rope said "the style is very lifeless", and Rope's show partner Ebert said "the film is full of famous people". and semi-famous faces, although only two are funny."
They've had enough of the endless stream of stupid, lazy parodies, and now "Wedding Day" is a ray of hope!
It seems that there are finally going to be some really interesting spoofs for veterans on the big screen!
And it was created by a 16-year-old young man! Who is not curious? Who doesn't look forward to it? So quietly, a promotional trailer stirred up a lot of excitement in the film critic circles.
At the same time, ordinary followers are also excited about it. Message boards on VIY¡¯s official website, the ¡°Wedding is Coming¡± official website event page and other places are filled with messages:
Samuel Au said: "Can't wait to see this movie, VIY's promotional video wins, LOL!" Zoya Yas said: "Of course VIY wins! I have watched it five times and I laugh every time My jaw was almost dislocated, no exaggeration." I am Ofra said: "Weige's performance is so good, I have to watch it just for his performance."
"Why can it only be seen in Los Angeles? I'm from San Francisco. When will it be released here?", "Dude, if you're in San Francisco, just drive over and watch it. I'm from Fremont, Nebraska, so I have no hope. ", "I'm going to be a groupie and fly to Los Angeles to see it!"
The situation of the competition is the same as the strength of both sides. There is a huge gap. Currently, Ye Wei has 68% of the votes, far ahead of Gia's 32%.
It¡¯s not that Jiya¡¯s version is bad, it¡¯s just that compared to Ye Wei¡¯s version, everything loses a lot.
Of course, some of the people who voted for her really liked her version better, and many people voted because she was a girl or because she had Cage. For example, like Lev, "I'm sorry, Brother Wei, although you are my best friend and idol, Master Gia is my Goddess, hehe!"
There was also an ugly bribery, and Bud also voted for Gia, "Brother Wei, Master Gia really gave me a bottle of wine!"
Chen Nuo only promised not to be a hacker and modify the data; as for Kerwin, no one knew his choice.
Master Jia called Ye Wei that night and said fiercely: "Damn genius, your version is great, but tell you, I will always chase you! Be careful!"
¡¡
As expected, the event marketing successfully attracted the attention and reports of the media, both traditional and online. The traffic of the official website of the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Yahoo, and USA Today increased dramatically. Related searches on Yahoo and Google are also soaring!
Ye Wei¡¯s fame has skyrocketed again! Even the "Loveviy" website has become popular.
"I want to watch "Wedding Day is Coming" Number of clicks: 10,358
Breaking through the 10,000 mark! Unfortunately, these people are not all from Los Angeles, but are spread across the United States and all over the world. Los Angeles IPs account for less than 10% of them. How many of them will actually go to the screening is unknown. .
But one thing that is certain is that "the genius boy Ye Wei?¡¯s potential is huge, and everyone is interested in knowing what achievements he will have! It's almost like a reality show with explosive ratings.
From the 5th to the 8th, the media started a new round of spontaneous publicity for Ye Wei. Readers love to read it, and they love to report it!
"A genius performance, VIY wins." - "Variety Daily"; ""Wedding Day is Coming" looks delicious!" - "Hollywood Reporter"; "The other side of the child prodigy VIY you don't know: Sports Chapter "¡ª¡ª"figure"¡¡
Looking at these changes, Lovett, Tracy and others gradually became less happy, and became more solemn and worried, because this was not the situation they wanted.
What they want is high expectations from the film critics and low publicity from the media, so that once the film critics kill "Wedding Day", Ye Wei will disappear immediately. But now, not only has the skepticism among film critics declined, but praise has increased, Ye Wei's public reputation is still expanding!
The expectations have reached its peak, but the popularity continues to run like a crazy wild horse!
"Lowett, people's interest in this kid seems to have exceeded our expectations"
¡°I really don¡¯t understand, he is obviously just an Asian boy!¡±
"This country has gone crazy again."
"No, it won'tit won't"
Rise, rise, rise!
How terrible! Brian and the others' hearts were also beating wildly. Gary Goetzman had to swallow his disbelief and then seriously communicate with IFC. Although it is a bit surreal to exceed 50 theaters in the second week, it is best to be prepared. Well, just in case, he means just in case Ye Wei does it, we really can't rush around
But several surprises have already left him in a hurry!
¡°I hope this movie won¡¯t disappoint me.¡± Scott Foundas agreed to attend the screening!
"A movie is a movie, and I won't treat it unfairly because of Ye Wei's age, whether it's good or bad." Jonathan Foreman agreed to attend!
¡°The promotional video was very well done, I just wish it didn¡¯t contain all the jokes.¡± Richard Rope agreed to attend!
Mike Clark of USA Today, Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle, and Moira MacDonald of The Seattle Times also agreed to attend¡ª¡ª
With the participation of these mainstream media columnists and well-known film critics, the screening of "Wedding Day is Coming" can be said to be star-studded!
On the night of the 8th, Gotzman learned another new news. He almost sat down on the ground in shock. IFC said that the old man agreed!
The God of Film Criticism, Roger Ebert, is here! ! !
"I don't have high requirements. Looking at the audience, if I laugh out loud 20 times, I will get one thumb, and if I laugh out loud 30 times, I will get two thumbs."
It is equal to an average of 3-4. You have to laugh once every 5 minutes. This is not easy at all, because people will get tired when they smile. The laughter points must be stronger one after another to maintain "laughing out loud", not just smiling. , it¡¯s LOL!
But if you can hire this old man, you have to take a gamble no matter what.
This news excited Brian and others, as well as the cast members of "The Wedding Is Coming". Peter Heller and Sean Maurer were also shocked. What project did they join? With such a cost and such a remake, it's incredible that Albert can be invited!

May 9th, Sunday, there was a lot of speculation from the outside world, but Ye Wei was still in the editing room.
These days, many friends are always sending him text messages and emails, asking when he will reappear. He has been "disappearing" for more than half a month. You can't see him anywhere. Forget it in normal times, all important school activities are gone. Not attending, like yesterday's junior high dance at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, he didn't even go.
Who wouldn¡¯t go to the dance? I have to go even with a cane! Even if Lev and the others knew about the situation in his family, they couldn't help but sigh, Brother Wei was too cruel to him.
This also left Lily without a male partner yesterday. Countless people wanted to be her male partner, but she just played with her friends such as Trieste and Connie and her best friends like Lev and Bud.
Ye Weizhen seemed to have been kidnapped by someone and locked up in a dungeon. No one could find him. When he called him, he said "I'm very busy" and ended the call after saying a few words. If Master Gia hadn't sternly stated that she had done nothing, they would have called 911.
Ye Wei did not deceive his friends. He is indeed very busy. After these days of hard work, the refined version will be completed in the next two days! A painstakingly edited version!
The closer he got to the end, the harder he ran. How could he be willing to leave here and dance?
HeHe couldn't see his eyes. Suzanne said they were red like "vampire eyes" and said he was a little haggard. After working so intensely for more than half a month, he was just a little haggard and could be called an iron man.
No matter what, it was night again, and Ye Wei was still sitting at his desk like a man possessed, looking at several screens, playing the Rubik's Cube game of editing.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Ta-ta! At some point, there was a knock on the door of the editing room.
who? No one came over in the evening, and I didn't order takeout. I have been making black bread for dinner these days. Ye Wei looked at him doubtfully, "Come in."
The door opened, and I saw a slim girl, wearing a white T-shirt and a dark blue midi skirt, with two heroic thick eyebrows, a smile on her face, and a refreshing voice: "I'm here to visit the class."
Lily.
"Hi" Ye Wei wiped his face unnaturally, his heart beating excitedly. Although he texted her every day, it felt like he hadn't seen her for a long time.
"Surprise? I don't want to call you first, otherwise you might not let me come." Lily walked in with her hands behind her back, looked around, then stopped on his face, her eyes flowing gently, "I Miss you, I want to see you."
Ye Wei smiled and nodded, "OK, me too. I'm sorry for yesterday, but the editing is almost finished"
"I know." Lily pretended to come quietly, "You continue with your work, don't let me disturb you, I will be quiet! But there are a few small cakes here, Ding Ding!" behind her He stretched out his hands, holding a box of five or six small cakes in his left hand, and making a display gesture with his right hand.
"Wow, thank you!" Ye Weizhen was a little surprised. Smelling the aroma, a feeling of hunger suddenly surged up. He quickly got up to get it and started eating immediately.
After several days of black bread dinner, he couldn't help but look ugly when he ate this sweet and smooth cake. He almost ate one bite at a time, very like Bard, stuffing his mouth full and saying vaguely: ¡°It¡¯s delicious, it¡¯s delicious¡¡±
Lily said in a funny and surprised tone: "Eat slowly! You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
"No, noit's just that they are so delicious" Ye Wei shook his head and continued to eat all the six cakes in the box like a wolf, and then sat back in his chair and leaned against the back of the chair comfortably.
As expected, he would be more inspired when his stomach was well fed. He looked at the screen and came up with some new ideas for this shot. He immediately wanted to try it, so he had to say: "Lily, I really have to do some work first, you can do whatever you want." "It's very rude to do that, but editing comes first now.
"Okay." Lily responded, first standing behind him, and after a while, she moved a chair and sat next to him, quietly watching him edit.
His seriousness and hard work made her heart move, and his haggardness and silence made her feel distressed. She gradually became a little crazy thinking about something.
Ye Wei suddenly turned to look at her and smiled, and she smiled too. They looked at each other, and the greenness of not seeing each other for a while turned into sweetness.
His heart was as warm as the sun. It¡¯s great to have you by your side on the road to pursuing dreams. ¡°Lily, there are things I want to tell you.¡±
"Um?"
Without saying anything, Ye Wei took the pen and paper on the table, wrote something on a piece of light blue label paper, and handed it to her.
When Lily looked at it, her eyes immediately became brighter and her smile became even brighter. Her teeth were exposed and it read: "Your smile filled my melancholy heart with pure happiness. Your bright and sunny face left a lasting impression on me." A ray of light fell, making my heart bright.¡±
She felt so sweet, "Byron's poem "I Saw You Cry", am I remembering it correctly?"
"Yes, Byron's poetry, but my heart." He shrugged.
She couldn't help but lean on his shoulder, "I still disturbed you."
"The sunshine disturbs the darkness." Ye Wei was about to hug her.
But Lily pushed him away with a smile, sat up straight, mustered up her fighting spirit, raised her clenched fists, and shouted to him: "Keep working, maybe the girls are being swayed by the young man's love words." , as for us, let¡¯s wait until we get ashore to taste this taste!¡±
Byron¡¯s war hymn! Ye Wei couldn't help but laugh, but his blood boiled all over, "Yes, my Valkyrie!"
