? It was around 9 pm, the night was getting darker, and the ticket hall of 13 Cinemas was busy. In front of one of the ticket windows, a young couple said to the middle-aged ticket seller.
It was less than ten minutes before the second screening of "Wedding Day is Coming" started at 21:3, and the premiere had just ended. When Ye Wei and Nicholas Tongqi left, they ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, and the scene was chaotic. It¡¯s a rare sight here.
"I'm sorry, the tickets for the next show have been sold out." The conductor didn't even need to look at the computer, because they were not the first people who couldn't buy tickets. "There are still 93 tickets left for the show that opens at 1 o'clock. You want it?" Maybe it will disappear again after a while.¡±
"What?", "Are you kidding?" The couple couldn't believe it. They came here to watch a movie at the Beverly Center. When had they ever been unable to buy tickets?
The ticket seller didn¡¯t have much experience in this area, ¡°You know VIYu, that¡¯s his movie, and his fans bought all the tickets an hour early.¡±
"Yes, we are here just for him." "We are also fans." The young lovers frowned. They thought they supported Ye Wei enough before, but they didn't expect so many people to come earlier. VIYR's popularity It's more powerful than they thought
"How was the review of the premiere?" the young woman asked expectantly. If the review was good, she could consider watching the next show and go to other places in the center to play and wait.
"It should be fine, I'm not sure here." The conductor couldn't answer, "Do you want to watch other movies?"
The two of them were stuck in a dilemma of choice. They really couldn¡¯t understand why it was so full. for god's sake
At this time, another young couple came over and said to the conductor: "Two tickets for "Wedding Day is Coming", thank you."
After the premiere, due to limited funds, the film producers did not hold any party and reception, so the guests went home in a happy mood.
When the show ended, everyone praised Ye Wei. Cage smiled and said to him: "The movie is great. Keep up the good work. I won't be a guest star next time we work together." Gia scolded: "You damn genius. , I won¡¯t be afraid of you, I will chase you.¡±
"Brother Wei, no words of praise can express our feelings." Lev and other guys made a funny worship gesture together.
Schwartz finally struck up a conversation with him and laughed happily: "The movie is so good. I'm happy whether it makes money or not. It's great."
Lawyer Salton and his wife, Anna's mother Janet and other adults also praised and congratulated him repeatedly. "Wedding Day is Coming" has more or less fulfilled everyone's expectations.
From the first scene of the film, the smile became Gotzman's only expression. He smiled and praised: "Weige, you gave us an incredible premiere. I think your thoughts on the release of this film cannot be ignored." Besides, it¡¯s unrealistic and it seems like it can achieve anything.¡±
On the other side, Maurer and Heller said happily: "Old man, we are definitely going to be lucky, Luc." Heller still did not dare to be completely optimistic and replied: "Movie scores are like loaches. Do you think you can catch them?" Then it slipped away and stabbed you."
Only when the dust settles on the grueling opening weekend will we know something.
Box office, audience reputation, and film critics¡¯ evaluation
"A group of film critics did not reveal a clear attitude to Ye Wei and others. This is professional ethics. This is their initiative, while the passive one is to comply with the "film review release time."
It is a date set by the distributor for the film critics and media who participated in the preview. Whether you want to praise or criticize, you cannot speak before that date. The purpose is naturally to match the rhythm of publicity, avoid hot spots crashing and losing hot spots, and maximize the power of publicity.
This is a serious rule. Once a film critic breaks the time ban, no matter what, he will be jointly punished by the distributors - you will not be able to participate in future review screenings and premieres. Want to watch the movie? Let's go to the theater and watch it by ourselves after it's released.
But critics are by no means slaves to film producers. Some films are released directly to the public without going through test screenings. This is precisely because film producers are not confident in getting favorable reviews from critics and are worried that negative reviews will cause the film to die before it is released.
If there is no preview screening, the reviews will come out after the release, which will reduce the damage, but it also means that there will be no reviews and promotions before the release, no hot topics, no attention, and no guarantee of box office.
So when an uncertain film is released, film producers are often in a dilemma. If they hold a preview screening and the film critics praise it, that's great, but if they criticize it, what's the point of promoting it? Is it a bad movie?
Now, "Wedding Day" is not considered a public release, it is just a screening. The premiere is also equivalent to a preview, and its review time is now
Post it and report it
In the past, film critics are not yet so quick, but now that there are new online media, they are like PIs, who go home after the show to write film reviews, and then publish them on the Internet. In the next few days, these film reviews appear one after another in the daily newspapers where they work, In magazines, TV, and radio, the high-end and low-end public know their viewing experience.
The twenty-four well-known film critics attending tonight represent the views of mainstream media and the words that tens of millions of people have seen.
Especially Roger Ebert, the most beloved film critic voice in North America.
At the same time, if "Wedding Day is Coming" wants to receive 60,000 box office during the screening week (June 2 - June, because it starts on the evening of Thursday the 2nd, two extra shows are charged), it should be halfway through the weekend and Friday. It should break 10,000 by the end, is it possible?
A time bomb has begun to tick, and the only way to defuse it is good film reviews and good box office.
After Ye Wei returned home, she changed into a set of clothes and drove out in her precious KITT. Of course, she did not take Duoduo with her, who was clamoring to follow her. This was a date.
Tomorrow Lily has to get up early to go to school, and he has to return to school to prepare for graduation, but he can still play until the early morning.
On the way to the Santa Monica Pier, a brisk song rang out from the Volkswagen: "Goodbye, Joe has to go," - he drove his canoe down the Mississippi River, his Yvonne , is the sweetest girl, asshole, let us have fun on the river bank"
From time to time, the two of them sang along with each other and glanced at each other, the sweetness of youth filling the air.
"Ha ha ha ha"
In the screening hall of "The Wedding Is Coming" at 13 Cinemas, bursts of laughter erupted one after another, even higher than the decibels in the previous show. The 400 ordinary spectators who filled the house were watching the screen showing Carter being thrown to an isolated island by the God of Wedding. Two volleyballs I laughed so hard
It¡¯s true that they are almost all VIYR fans, but that doesn¡¯t mean they can turn a bad movie into a good movie, even if it¡¯s this good
It¡¯s great. The audience is thinking more and more about it. They didn¡¯t laugh like this while watching "Scream". I don¡¯t know what to say. Anyway, it¡¯s great. There are so many surprises.
I did not support the wrong person Ye Wei, he makes people crazy
The first film review of "Wedding Day is Coming" is out
Mike Clark published a review in the column of the movie channel on the official website of "USA Today" ""Wedding Day: Incredible Laughter"". He gave it four stars out of a four-star rating system.
This movie review is very long, and the short conclusion is: "A comedy with great fun, bringing life to a market full of clich¨¦s.
Talking about Ye Wei, director, screenwriter, producer, starring, etc., Clark wrote: "There is no newer newcomer than Ye Wei. This 6-year-old child prodigy (PR filmmaker), with extraordinary talent and an incredible His gesture made his debut on the screen. His contribution to all aspects of the film is the source of all laughter."
In front of the computer screen, Lovett's face was livid, the veins on his forehead were faintly beating, and the hand holding the mouse was trembling.
The word "prodigy" was so piercing, it pierced from his eyes to his heart.
The planned film critics criticize Ye Wei for not living up to his name and saying it is a bad and shameless commercial hype. It seems, it seems no, there are just a few blind people.
"Haha, Mike Clark scored full marks"
The news was like lightning. Starting from Gotzman, Hanks, Brian, Leslie and others quickly knew about it. The big shots were very excited. Looking at the wording of the film review, it was almost overflowing with Clark's love for the film. How many readers and viewers will be infected by Ye Weihe¡¯s love for the film?
I can¡¯t believe it. I can¡¯t believe it. Brian wanted to yell. He was so happy that he exploded. The Lovett gang must have regretted it so much that they wanted to kill themselves. Their troubles really turned out to be a big help.
Ye Wei seems to be able to handle the expectations of NAX among film critics, right? A movie boy that satisfies the appetites of those scathing film critics
It was nearly 11 o¡¯clock in the evening, and the second film review came out.
Peter Hartlaub of the "San Francisco Chronicle" published a column on the official website ""Wedding Day is Coming": HaHaHa is such an interesting genius" and also gave it a perfect four stars.
"If you look at the cast list of "Wedding Day", except for the names of the two guest stars, it is a hopeless list. When you look at it, you will find a shining name: 'Ye Only,. Such a humorous, unique, young genius.¡±
"The film uses violence, sex, profanity, shit, racial jokes, celebrity current affairs jokes and other common movie satires, but it does it in a way that makes people applaud. If you think about it, it is not particularly funny, but Ye Wei is A master of telling jokes, surprises make them endlessly memorable.¡±
? 13 Cinemas, in the screening room of "Wedding Day is Coming", the end credits rolled on the screen again, "Don't go away, please watch the credits, there are easter eggs at the end."
"Hahaha" The laughing audience stood up and applauded. Some people had a hard time because their stomachs hurt from laughing. Looking back on the movie over the past hour and a half, it was super funny, some warm, some touching, and there were too many impressive characters. ,marvelous
No one left early. Under the cheerful soundtrack, all 400 viewers willingly watched the nearly four-minute credits, credits, etc., and then the images resumed on the big screen, and the easter eggs came.
It's the jewelry store again, the open glass counter, and the huge diamond ring. A middle-aged man with a sinewy face and a thick body who looked like a red-necked man reached out to push the diamond ring away and took it out. There was a silver ring hidden in the hole, and he said happily: "This is it."
The familiar boss looked stunned, "You must not be serious."
"How do you know my name?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.
The screening hall once again burst into laughter, and the audience was so happy that this guy called Shirley cheers, applause, and whistles followed.
When the camera turned, the middle-aged man walked out of the jewelry store and came to the street outside, looking satisfied. The next shot focused on the ring in his hand, which exuded a faint evil black aura
Hard cut, the end screen shows HGO of Weiduo Image, Plateone, and IPC, and then a line of huge text: "Thank you for watching, bye bye"
The audience¡¯s excited applause resounded throughout the theater
? Nearly early in the morning, Roger Ebert¡¯s film review came out
