On May 24th, when the post-production of "Wedding Day is Coming" was all completed and looking at all the items on the work schedule being crossed out, Ye Wei almost fell to the floor and felt tired after so much effort. , day and night, finally got it done!
¡°All the post-production staff, like Suzanne, Leonards and others, and all the crew members, like Heller, Maurer and others, are very happy.
Although this is a remake of a movie, they have put their efforts into it. This is actually a new movie, their movie.
No matter what everyone thinks, what Ye Wei wants to do most right now is to go home and take a nap until he wakes up naturally.
There is still a lot of work to be done to prepare the screening, but there is no need for him to do it. IFC and Playtone will take care of it, such as sending the film to the MPAA for review and rating.
This is not a mandatory requirement in law, but without this recognized and authoritative rating, very few theaters would be interested in screening it. Even if there were, if they rated it PG-13 themselves, the audience would not be at ease, especially as a family unit. Audience, who knows if there are things that children cannot watch?
Fortunately, there were no accidents. Under the operation of Platoon, the speed was very fast. The film on the 26th was successfully rated PG-13 (with a small amount of foul language and violence), which made everyone relieved, but also made Ye Wei puzzled. Where is the violence?
Now it can be shown in 13 Cinemas!
If it is the release step of the Hollywood business machine, there will be audience test screenings before the screening or public release, and audience research for precise segmentation of market positioning will be carried out, and then modifications will be made.
"Wedding Day is Coming" did not do this. Firstly, because of the limited budget, it takes time and money to do this; secondly, Ye Wei is already in the late stage of a hot topic, and the media and the public are eager to see the results; thirdly, it is a test screening Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't.
The quality of a movie cannot be changed by just a few repairs. The most important thing about test screenings is to have an early understanding of the audience's response and formulate a distribution strategy and budget for the public screening. If the audience is in awe, the original publicity fee of 10 million It will be reduced to 5 million or even 1 million, but "Wedding Day is Coming" has no publicity expenses
Fourth, "Wedding Day is Coming" is an independent CULT film, and it must have that style. The more it is tainted with the atmosphere of Hollywood, the less independent it will be, so the outside world will view it differently.
??Similarly, it does not have a special preview screening for film critics, everything is concentrated in the first screening, just like a film festival.
But it held an internal screening. Under the warm laughter, everyone's confidence was rising. It was very interesting and very funny! Is this true, or just an illusion? One's own judgment can be very, very wrong. Movies like "Windtalker" and "The Incredible Hulk" are so elusive.
IFC has given Ye Wei a guarantee that as long as the box office in the first week exceeds 60,000, the Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating is above 60%, and the IMDb score is above 6 points, it will be expanded to 100 theaters in the second week! It just depends on whether he has this ability.
Everyone knows this goal, and everyone is mobilizing relatives and friends to take the time to support.
The Dream Chaser Alliance can give out at least 200 votes, and young people who have become friends with VIY at the Harvard-Westlake Film Festival can also give out 100 votes. Plus many known people, 8572 tickets, more than 500 have been sold! It's like finishing the loose ends in advance.

"That guy's movie will be screened tomorrow."
"Of course I know. Bruce also asked me if I knew what was going on. What could I say? He almost got angry when he knew Roger Ebert was going to attend. I added that there would be more than a dozen media reporters attending. He immediately cut off the call."
"How do you know so well?"
"Brian Sborrel, that guy told methose talk shows are even interested in Ye Wei. Arnold, just hope that kid fails miserably, otherwise you will be in trouble , the box office of "The Whole Ten Yards" was too ugly."
"If Ye Wei succeeds, are you in no trouble? With Bruce's temper, we are all in danger! You'd better really do something."
"I did Now the film critics have unrealistic expectations for that kid, and he has offended so many people. I know that the "Soul Dreams" people are annoying him to death, as long as he is spurned by the film critics , even if his misfortune begins, many people will come out to deal with him, and even Hanks can't protect him. "
"It's best like this, it's best like this"
"No problem, so what if it's a remake of a bad movie."

Michael Angarano was chatting on the phone with his girlfriend Kristen Stewart and said happily: "Shall we go out on a date this weekend? Watch a movie?"
"Okay, let's watch "Wedding Day is Coming"."
"What is that?" Angarano was confused for a moment, as ifBut I can't remember it.
"A movie, don't you read the newspaper?"
"Oh, I remembered it! Is it some kind of movie about gifted teenagers? It's called VIY or VIV. Will that waste our whole night? I want to watch "Shrek 2"."
"Why waste it?"
"It doesn't look goodwhat can people of our age make? It's not like we don't know this industry, "Shrek 2", right?"
""The wedding is coming"."
"ButKristen, okay, okay, you always like to waste time, do you know him? VIY?"
¡°I don¡¯t know him very well. I only know him after watching the movie. Is he a genius or an ordinary person like you?¡±
"What do you mean?"
¡°My words mean what I say.¡±

The night sky on the 26th was clear. The early summer night wind blew the leaves in the forest of Crestwood Villa Park, causing the stars hanging on the branches to sway. The cooing of the owl not only broke the silence, but also Adding to the quiet atmosphere.
A Volkswagen car was parked on the mountain road, and a young couple was sitting on the front of the car. They were leaning against each other, their feet hanging down to the ground were lightly kicking, and they were looking at the stars and chatting.
"How are you feeling? Are you nervous?" Lily asked softly, looking at him with her eyes.
"I'm nervous, but I'm not nervous either." Ye Wei fell back and lay on the hood of the car, looking at the moon without blinking. "It's very close. It's very close to that goal Release, box office, reviews , these will always come, we should accept it calmly, but how, how can we not be nervous? The winner takes all and the loser gets nothing. This is a cruel world. "
Lily also lay down, looked at him sideways, and smiled: "No, you won me."
"When?" Ye Wei also looked at her with a sideways smile. Her eyebrows and her eyes moved him greatly.
"From the first time you said hello to me." Her clear voice was full of gentle and passionate affection.
"Really?" Ye Wei laughed a few times and wanted to talk about Byron's poems again. His heart was really full of sunshine. "That's not what you said at that time. You said that I was bullying others." Lily smiled: " You are, you are bullying me right now." He yelled, "We have been dating for more than half a year, and you are just bullying me, okay?"
This joke made Lily frown slightly, "Yi, I'm sorry, I'm an asshole again and refuse to be your female companion tomorrow"
"No need to apologize, because it's not important! It's really not important." Ye Wei said quickly, caressing her face, and said: "You have always been with me, happy, sad, happy, distressed, you have always been with me, Do you need a formal female companion? You can do it if you like it, but you can¡¯t do it if you don¡¯t like it, do you understand?¡±
"I understand" Lily's eyes were like stars, and she couldn't help but said: "You are so kind."
"Yes." Ye Wei smiled and turned to look at the starry sky, otherwise he couldn't help but kiss her. They made an agreement not to have any intimacy before the release of "The Wedding Day is Coming". He suddenly shouted like a call: "The wedding day is coming soon!"
Lily also looked at the stars and shouted like a wish: "The wedding will definitely be a success!"
