- No matter whether it is a single hall or multiple halls, the audience's laughter can be heard in front of the screens of "Wedding Day" in 106 theaters.
There was also a theater showing it in Columbia City, so Kelsey came to watch it with a few friends. It was the second time she watched it, but she still laughed hard. Looking around, most of the seats were occupied. The attendance rate was really good among Asians in this city. The population is not large.
Just look at the poster in the cinema lobby, that amazing and true slogan, no one is not curious
? Unprecedented prodigy, unprecedented genius hilarious movie
In recent months, Hanks has had some ups and downs. The film "Old Lady Killer", which he had high hopes for, flopped. Even he still can't escape Hollywood's iron rule of "three strikes and you're out" - if he stars in three bad movies in a row, Then they will be kicked to places other than the earth.
From the bottom of the industry to the current peak, he has always respected and believed in it. "Old Woman Killer" is already the first time.
This year he also has two films, "The Terminal" and "The Polar Express", both new works by great directors. I thought I would rely on them to make good shots, but I didn't expect
"Wedding Day is Coming", with surprising reviews and box office performance, the original screening was changed to a small-scale release, not only to make a profit, but also to regain his face.
All the depression caused by "Old Lady Killer" disappeared in Hanks's heart, and all he had was the joy brought by "Wedding Day is Coming".
No one can think that Ye Wei can do this, and he is no exception. No one can know what else Ye Wei can do.
At noon on Friday, the box office of the midnight show was calculated. Hanks received a call from Goetzman, and he was really nervous. Can the public release continue to surprise?
"Good news Tom, you are absolutely right to invest in this young man." Gozman said excitedly. Before he even talked about the box office, he had already praised Ye Wei: "He is an absolute golden key. Dare to believe¡±
"How much?" Hanks asked quickly. When he heard Gotzman's results, his generous face smiled broadly, "Absolutely correct."
The sky in June of 2010 was also so blue. 13-year-old Ye Wei graduated from Berkeley Hall School and had also passed the admission to Harvard-Westlake School, a prestigious private school with a long history, strict academic style, but should be full of fun. .
He had a younger sister, Dorothy, who was only seven months old. She could not walk or talk yet, and babbling all day long. He also had a puppy named Toto at home, which was his idea.
I really don¡¯t know when I will see that shitty baby standing and saying to Toto: ¡°Toto, I have a feeling that we will never urinate anywhere again.¡±
He thought he had to say goodbye to many old friends and make many new ones, because he didn¡¯t have many friends who went to Harvard-Westlake together, except Lev.
There are only two things in Lev's mind, one is beautiful girls, the other is unattractive girls, Lev has neither.
And he had just dumped a pretty girl, whom he had been dating for half a year, and she didn¡¯t go to Harvard-Westlake. If he didn¡¯t dump her, he would be dumped by her sooner or later, and what kind of girls didn¡¯t exist in middle school? I don¡¯t want to be in two different situations. He is a good boy, so we can only break up. In fact, she has been annoyed for a long time. She actually said that football is a weak sport.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, talking about this topic on the tree-lined streets of Brentwood, the two boys who had just started to grow laughed out loud.
Lev was almost drooling and said: "My request is very simple. It just needs to be a woman, preferably with bigger breasts."
"I'm different from you. I have very high standards. It would be nice to be like a prom queen." Ye Wei was also imagining something, "But she also needs to be kind, cheerful, smart, emotional and a girl who likes football but not football. I don¡¯t want a girl who calls football 6aI1, but it must be spicy.¡±
At this time, Lev noticed a group of girls far down the street and watched them enter the St. Martin School in Tours. He couldn't help but said: "Man, the girls in St. Martin's are very cute. They are so close to your home. Why didn¡¯t you pick one up?¡±
"Please, what's the point of a group of nuns?" Ye Wei laughed out loud and shook his head at his friend: "Poor guy, he even thinks of nuns."
"That's right." Lev sighed and changed the subject: "Have you decided on any clubs to join in the seventh grade, or should we start one ourselves for fun? Cultivate interests or something."
"I have no shortage of interests." Ye Wei looked at the sky and thought: "I have too many interests. I really don't know what I want to do most, but I want to play and we will know what is the most fun. So we Open a club, there is no specific type, you can play whatever you want, it¡¯s called the ¡®Dream Chasing League,¡¯¡±
Lev shouted excitedly: "This is such a cool idea. This is our style."
June 4, 204, is the day before the graduation ceremony of the recent graduates of Harvard-Westlake Junior High School, the traditional "Junior High School Career Day".
Graduation dayYou can choose to go to one of more than 40 off-campus venues to spend a good day and see how professionals work, so as to understand your ambitions as early as possible.
Ye Wei has no problem choosing, he obviously already has a career: filmmaker
So he readily chose to visit the Paramount Headquarters Studio. He went there last time as Spielberg's assistant, but it wasn't very pleasant. This time he wanted to have a good time. Also traveling with him were Lev, Bud, Chen Nuo, Kerwin and other friends.
At the end of the day, under the leadership of the teachers, they shuttled between various studios and had a great experience.
And the crew also saw the fiery prodigy VIY looking like a talking panda, almost pinching his cheeks, it was really
Many people even enthusiastically gave Ye Wei their business cards. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future? He is like a big shot, completely different from the last time he hid away because of "avoiding sight".
In fact, even Ye Wei had something to gain today. He saw more about how Hollywood studios operate, and he also learned a new studio lingo, "urea MIu", which means a small meeting that is only enough to drink a glass of urea mineral water. Meeting.
In the future, when filming on the set, when he wants to call someone to talk about something, he will wave and say: "Come here, let's have a meeting."
At 6 pm, the group was about to leave Paramount Headquarters, and the friends held a meeting next to the water tower.
"I have decided that I want to be a producer." Lev said with great ambition, "I don't have the talent to be a screenwriter or director, but being a producer suits me. Guys, please call me Mr. Producer from now on."
"Photographer." Kerwin has long had a dream to let the camera speak.
"I have to be responsible for the logistics of the venue, especially the catering." Bud banged his chest, with a cheerful face, and raised a loud slogan: "Bud is here, it tastes good."
"I think" Chen Nuo seemed to have a hard time speaking, "I think the studio is not suitable for me. I prefer the office"
Lev and Bud immediately stared at him, what do you mean? Chen Nuo said hurriedly: "The office of the film industry."
Ye Wei said seriously: "Without the office part, the movie can't be made, and it can't be sold. Noah, I'm on your side."
"It makes sense, it makes sense" Lev changed his tone. Bud nodded and said: "Just don't go to the Wall Street office. I hate the vampires on Wall Street."
"No." Chen Nuo said, "My wisdom belongs to the Dream Chaser Alliance."
"There are still three years of high school for us to think clearly." Ye Wei smiled and asked with interest: "Do you have a female partner for the graduation prom tomorrow night?"
In the hearts of young men and women, the graduation prom is simply more important than life, but the high school graduation prom is the most important. Junior high school graduation is often only a small event or even not held at all. But this is Harvard-Westlake. Nothing is trivial, and junior high school graduation is also very grand.
The graduation party is held in two venues from evening to 10 o'clock in the evening, including dinner, dance, entertainment and other activities. No graduate will not look forward to it.
"Uh" The four of them fell into silence and looked at each other, oh, so you don't have a female companion either.
"For God's sake." Ye Wei was speechless, "Do you have anyone you like? I'll be the matchmaker."
"I have Brother Wei, help me." Lev was waiting for his words. He almost rushed over and hugged his thigh and cried bitterly. "You must help me this time. Otherwise, why would I be called the Saint of Love?"
"No one thinks you are a lover, never."
On June 6th, the first day box office of "Wedding Day is Coming" was released
Looking at the box office statistics, the distribution staff in the IP office cheered and high-fived, cracked the golden egg, and a phoenix flew out as dazzlingly as
This also strengthened the management's determination to invest in publicity expenses. They and Playtone each contributed 60,000 yuan, and a total of 1 million yuan was spent on Internet advertising and marketing to completely hype up the hot spots and then release them on a large scale. Only in this way can the potential be turned into The actual box office will not lose the money that could have been earned.
YE Pretone agreed to the plan without even thinking about it. Hanks did not hesitate, and neither did Gotzman, who had doubts about Ye Wei before. They knew when to spend money, and now is the time.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Brian and Leslie were very excited, seeing that they were getting another big-name client, they started cooperating when they were still not famous.
This proves their star-making ability. The outside world doesn¡¯t know what it is, but within the industry, the more powerful Ye Wei is, the more they are trusted by celebrities and investors. This is power.
Anyone who sees Ye Wei now will be jealous. If it were Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", he would definitely shout: "Baby vc"
On the morning of the 6th, at 10:3, the junior high school graduation ceremony??On time at the Saperstein Theatre.
The theater was bustling with excitement, and the seats were filled with graduates, parents, family members, teachers, and some junior students who came to join in the fun.
At this time, Principal Hudnut and Principal Hebrechts had delivered speeches respectively. When it came time for the student representatives to give speeches, a black-haired boy walked out from the left side of the stage.
The audience burst into applause. Almost every student was smiling and applauding. Everyone knew who he was, and more than half of the graduates were his friends.
He dominated the inaugural film festival, he led the team to a football championship, he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa (a historic event in which the most accomplished students are inducted each May), and he was instrumental in helping the Badgers win the This year¡¯s Jacobson Cup (junior high school teachers and students are divided into four teams, badgers, minks, otters and tigers, and compete based on points every school year. The points range includes trivia competitions, sports competitions, fundraising activities, etc.).
Student union president, football captain, basketball captain, prom queen No one on this campus can match his popularity
Some people call him the school bully, some call him H6, some call him VIY, some call him chief bridesmaid, genius, old car leaf
He is the most uncontroversial student representative of this year and an inevitable star in the history of Harvard-Westlake. Xiulan'er will give up her position as a child prodigy to him.
Ye Wei
The applause couldn¡¯t stop. If it weren¡¯t for the school rules, the students would have been shouting and cheering.
Parents were surprised. Thinking back to their own junior high school graduation ceremony, how could the student representatives be so popular? Because usually those with excellent grades come on stage to speak, and it¡¯s better not to be laughed at for being a nerd.
"Thank you, thank you." Ye Wei came to the podium in the middle of the stage, calmed down the audience, looked at the people in front of him, and spoke: "I have heard many beautiful descriptions of high school life since I was a child, parties, evening parties, Girls, stupid things unbridled youth, sweet high school, these do not belong to Harvard-Westlake.
"Haha" the students burst into laughter immediately, and the teachers were also happy.
"Sorry guys, it's a fact that high school means more challenges, and we all get a college counselor each, you know what that is? Taskmaster."
Everyone laughed again, Ye Wei shrugged and continued: "But this is life, the difficulty of the game is getting higher and higher, are we ready?
Three years ago, I just became a middle school student. I was looking forward to it, but I was also afraid. I was afraid that I would not be able to make new friends, and that my middle school life would be a mess. Maybe you are in the same mood now. You are tired of and nostalgic for junior high school, and you are looking forward to and afraid of high school. My friends, don¡¯t be afraid.
Life will not give us much time to prepare. What we have to do is face it. Every time we overcome fear, we will become braver.
Like a little bird learning to fly, it will fall down at first, but then it will spread its wings and fly high
Friends, whether we are Harvard-Westlake or not, we have ushered in the best period of our lives. We are all birds spreading our wings and flying to higher skies."
Ye Wei glanced at the students who were listening quietly, and his voice became louder and louder: "Each of you is unique, and I can't represent any of you. Really, I know many of you, and I know your The stories, your dreams, none of them are the same, the same thing is-
"You, all of you, have the power. One day, you will use your power to fly hard, and then your dreams will come true."
He nodded in thanks, and the theater immediately erupted in applause that was more crazy than ever before. Students everywhere stood up excitedly, forming a frenzy.
"Guys, are you just applauding?" Ye Wei suddenly pointed at the microphone again and shouted with a smile: "Is there anyone who hasn't been on the honor list in three years?"
The Honor Roll is also a major feature of Harvard-Westlake, which publicly records the behavior of students, good and bad. Like his "H" noise last year and the cuttlefish operation when he was fined more, he was on the Honor Roll. It is difficult to receive praise but easy to receive punishment. In fact, the honor list should be called the "shame list".
Under the strict academic style, there are really many students who have never been on the list. When they heard this, their eyes lit up. VIY means
"Let us break the rules once, friends, don't forget, we are already high school students. Youth should be unbridled. This is our glory.
"We no longer want to be unknown, we have names, and the world will eventually know our names."
Ye Wei shouted with a smile, swaying his body and dancing, "Let us dance"
"Whoosh", "Ahhh" The theater was boiling with excitement. Almost all the graduates were shouting like crazy. Cheers, whistles and the laughter of girls were heard everywhere.
Especially the success of the Dream Chaser AllianceYou guys, at this moment, indulge yourself as much as you want. With Lev and Bard here, you don¡¯t have to worry about the decibel level being too high; Kerwin suddenly screamed and regained his composure.
What is ignited and exploded in the hearts of young girls? Go to the school rules, go to the honor code, go to the honor roll.
The huge sound waves were about to overturn the theater.
Looking at the scene around him, the old principal almost fainted. Young man, I am too old to bear the stimulation. Principal Hebrexitz even doubted whether it was the right choice for Ye Wei to give a speech on the stage. The ceremony also had It has been a long time and many sessions, but I don¡¯t think there was such a response to the guest performances later
Life is like VIY, you never know what trouble he will cause next time
The teachers all laughed helplessly, and the parents were also laughing. Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao really didn¡¯t understand how they could teach him a little bully despite being strict with him since childhood, haha
Teacher Ai Xi smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite relieved. She had long expected that Ye Wei would give another surprise to the junior high school before leaving, but from now on, it will be a matter for the high school. Goodbye VIY .
In the future, the younger students at Harvard-Westlake will hear your legend. When they ask, I will tell them that VIY has taught us a truth:
No one is perfect, but everyone can be very, very unique, as long as you dare to spread your wings and fly high.
VIY, fly to a higher sky, the teacher is also proud of you
Under the bright night sky, the theaters showing "Wedding Day" continued to burst into laughter, and the audience was amused by the images.
Los Angeles, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, in the huge ballroom, pairs of young men and women are dancing ballroom, bright lights, brisk music, wonderful atmosphere.
The graduation prom is a formal dance, so everyone attends in their best formal attire. Boys wear suits, ties or bow ties, and flowers on their left breasts. Girls have floor-length skirts, heavy makeup, and jewelry. , Wearing flowers on the right wrist, the color of the clothes of a man and a woman matches the flowers, to show that he/she is my dance partner.
Not all dance partners are graduates, because you can invite people from lower grades or senior years to be partners, even from other schools. Dance partners are not equal to dating partners, many are just acceptable dance partners, nothing more.
¡°And it¡¯s not like what¡¯s shown in movies and TV shows. In fact, there are a group of teachers around to supervise, and there are also a bunch of parent volunteers watching. At least here, no one can do anything wrong.
But this was enough for the students. Lev was slobbering and dancing with the reluctant Connie, twisting exaggeratedly; in stark contrast, next to him were Kerwin and Trish, both of whom were Acted very calmly.
Not far away, Bud put his arm around the shoulders of Pauline, a chubby graduate girl. Pauline held his donut waist and seemed not to move; Chen Nuo's dance partner was an eighth-grade Korean girl, Yi Mei. , quite a normal couple, dancing quite normally, the glasses fell off, picked them back
It¡¯s a miracle. Yesterday, their dance partners were still each other. They didn¡¯t have a partner? Looking for VIY, his mobile phone has the numbers of almost all the girls in the school.
In a bright part of the ballroom, a couple wearing lilies laughed and danced. This was the first time Ye Wei and Lily attended a formal dance together.
"You are so beautiful." Ye Weiyi held her left hand with one hand and hugged her waist with the other. He looked into her eyes and couldn't get enough of them.
"You said it many times." Lily said softly, following his dance steps.
"But you are so beautiful." Hearing the new dance music "cceaea1", Ye Wei suddenly thought of something, "Have you seen "Pulp Fiction"?" Lily frowned slightly and said angrily: "I just I won¡¯t watch it.¡± Ye Wei couldn¡¯t help but laugh: ¡°It¡¯s not about the vulgar novel, it¡¯s about that movie.¡± She laughed and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen it yet.¡±
"I also want us to do a swing dance insideperformance time"
He said letting her go, and on a whim, he danced for John Travolta and Uma Thurman alone. He swung his hands in front of his eyes like scissors, and shook his head from side to side. He lifted his shoulders, twisted his ankles and buttocks, and waved his hands forward like swimming, with a pretending to be cool.
"Hahaha" Lily suddenly burst into laughter, and everyone around him was also attracted to his eyes, laughing and cheering for him.
Ye Wei danced harder and swayed more. He kept looking at her smile and couldn't help but smile happily.
He danced until the song ended, and "Autu Hu1 Ordhua" sounded in the ballroom. The audience immediately cheered, and the mood of the young men and women became even higher.
"Sometimes I am so weird that I even numb myself. I laugh and coax myself to sleep"
Ye Wei also finished her swing dance performance, rushed back and hugged Lily. With a twist of his hand, she spun her body around and let out a crisp laugh.
With the fresh singing and the passion of youth, the two danced heartily
I am willing to do anything, but I just won¡¯t settle for the ordinary
Time flies, when the screening week from June 4th to June 10th comes to an end, "The Wedding is Coming"
This prodigy movie has not diminished its excellent reputation because of its small release. It has a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 99% (two critics gave it 24 points, which is not to say it is bad, nor does it say there are any problems, but it is said to be good). Sweet spoof), the audience's love rating rose to 95INDb to 7 points.
And its second week at the box office, the explosion made people ecstatic
With an excellent average figure of 0.157 per theater, it received a box office of 130,000 in 106 theaters and the total box office rose to 210,000.
In one fell swoop, it rose to the ninth place in the total box office this week, and the average per theater was in the second place.
The first place is this week¡¯s champion, the newly released "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", with an average of 200 million IB in 355 theaters. There is no comparison, and no one will compare the two films. "Wedding Day" has its own world.
Its "rival" "Soul Dream Flight" has dropped to an average of I36 (6.0) per theater; and "The Rescued" has also continued to surprise, with an average of 19.34 (B) per theater, and the total box office rose to 1.18 million.
Because the distribution strategy of "The Wedding Day is Coming" is to ride on the craze, its uniqueness makes it suitable for rapid marketing, so
In the third week, IP expanded it to medium-sized, with 66 North American theaters (0
At the same time, HA, the publisher of "The Rescued", was also overjoyed to expand it to 69 (550) in the third week, and did not want to miss out on the heat.
The costs and trajectories of the two films are so similar that it is impossible for the media not to put them together and ask, how will they perform in the third week? Who wins and who loses? Can the miracle of "Wedding Day is Coming" continue? The media, fans and audiences are all very concerned.
What many people don¡¯t know is that a talk show took the initiative to become ¡°interested¡± in Ye Wei
