- "Hahaha, what did I tell you?"
In Columbia City, the summer breeze is light and the clouds are clear. In the park, seeing a few friends looking awkward and uneasy, Kelsey felt happy and said, "Talk and talk."
"You said VIY would be successful", "You said "Wedding Day" would be great.", "Kelsey, I really admire you."
Several little girls kept talking, some of them were Asian and some white, and they all looked at her with admiration in their eyes. Now Kelsey is so cool. She is the earliest VIY fan. Nowadays, besides those VIY spokespersons in their circle, "I don't like Asians" people, everyone wants to be friends with Kelsey.
"I have nothing to admire, but I admire Wei." Kelsey chuckled. She has really changed a lot recently. She actually became a cool kid because of the glory.
She also needs to be more mature and wise, so as not to embarrass her idol. She waved her hand and said, "Forget the previous bet, we are fine."
"Awesome" the little girls cheered, and then talked about Ye Wei, "Did you read his blog yesterday?", "I did, it was very interesting."
"Don't you care about the box office of "Wedding Day is Coming"?" Kelsey's expert tone was worthy of a spokesperson, "It's exceeded 10 million US dollars, it's really amazing
"What?" they asked quickly.
Ranking¡ª¡ª-Release weeks¡ª¡ªNumber of theaters/change¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªAverage¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªThis week¡¯s box office¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªTotal box office
10th place - Week 4 - 106 (67) - 10,13B - 10,66-14 - 18,4866B
The box office figure of 18.48 million, which exceeded 10 million in a single week, has definitely recovered the production and distribution costs, making it absolutely profitable.
This shocked the world. The box office alone seemed nothing special, ranking tenth this week. The yield was not unprecedented. There were many films that were higher than it, such as the documentary "Super Size Me" 3, which was released in its seventh week. It cost 60,000 and has already received 20,000 at the box office (-year-old director and screenwriter Morgan Poole Locke has also been popular recently and appeared on "The Daily Show"); but the 6-year-old prodigy only has "Wedding Day".
Ye Wei officially became the youngest director in history with a box office of over 10 million
And this is a remake of a bad movie with limited creativity. Although it claims to have a production fee of 60,000 yuan, Ye Wei actually spent only 00,000 yuan on the remake.
As H¡¯s weekly box office report writes, this is another box office miracle, an incredible miracle
In the 6th week, "Wedding Day" will increase to 1,089 theaters and continue to be released on a large scale. No one knows how high this phoenix can fly.
"The Rescued" only received 90,000 in one theater (home), with a trend of 4B0, and 6 theaters next week. Its potential has been exhausted, and the total box office of more than 800,000 will be its report card. In fact, with its production fee of 260,000 yuan, it did not make any money at the box office. It had a good beginning but no good ending.
A new star has emerged this week, No. 2 "Napoleon", which received FD60,000 in 18 theaters (an average of 19.6, and will increase to 73 next week, which looks promising).
¡°No debt, no troubles, successful, mom, on top of the world¡±
On the lawn in the back garden of Ye's house, Ye Wei held Duoduo on his back and rushed around happily. Duoduo happily patted his head and shouted in a childish voice: "Mom, the top of the world." Toto ran beside him with his little tail flying.
On the porch of the house, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao hugged each other, smiling so happily and happily.
"I was wrong, very wrong"
When it comes to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", Goetzman expresses this emotion to everyone he meets. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", which cost 260,000 yuan to produce, has received huge revenue. 600 million (*. 400 million North American box office, 200 million overseas box office, North American release took 6 weeks, 37 days) miracle, he thought that no small-cost miracle could surprise him anymore, but
At first I thought Ye Wei was a little bit of a poisoner, and I didn¡¯t support taking the risk of investing in him. After the film was remade, I thought the screening was just a formality and there wouldn¡¯t be a second week. Then the response was very good, and I thought it would be great if it could collect 60,000 at the box office. , then 260,000? 660,000? 1.06 million?
No, it¡¯s already 18.48 million. According to this momentum, 20 million is certain, and 30 million is also very possible.
"The wedding is coming" is just an unexpected sweet joy, their real investment is "Little Miss Sunlight", the future of the talented Ye Wei is the most attractive
VIY can bring more, more, more
Hanks agrees 100% with Goetzman and has told his wife Rita many times recently: "Investing in this young man is one of the wisest decisions I have ever made in life.
"It certainly looks like it." Rita certainly agreed.
The positioning of "The Terminal" as a commercial comedy did not make it a bomb. It only had 7.9 million in its first week (on average, ranked second (this week's champion was "Dodgeball", 370,000), and the evaluation was only barely passing. , it obviously can't sell well.
Although with the support of the global market and the appeal of Spielberg Hanks, it is not difficult to recoup the 60 million production fee in theaters alone, but in this way??Can satisfy anyone.
Actually, it was a bit ugly. After "Lady Killer", Hanks almost fell down again. Fortunately, "Wedding Day" held him up and added some glory to his face.
He has accepted several interviews about discovering and investing in Ye Wei, and the media jokingly called him the "God of Weddings."
At the same time, Ye Wei appeared on the cover of the latest issue of "Entertainment Weekly". The handsome photo was themed on the set, showing off his charm as a young director. The title was: "The power of genius, Ye Wei"
This is an era of globalization, and Asian media are also enthusiastically paying attention to this miracle and this Chinese prodigy, especially the Chinese media
??Mainly new online media, and those who don¡¯t pay attention to European and American entertainment will not know that the Chinese Internet and the global Internet were very young in 204. It was an era when everyone was sweating, fainting, and fainting while listening to "Mouse Loves Rice". However, many lively places such as Maopu and Tieba are also lively. Ye Wei, Ye Wei, and Ye Wei Bar are all full of fans and fans, and some controversial or slanderous voices can also be seen.
For example, can Ye Wei speak Chinese? Does he think he is Chinese?
People who don¡¯t like him say he absolutely doesn¡¯t understand. He can¡¯t even write his own Chinese name. Does he have a Chinese name? Not to mention understanding Chinese culture, fake foreign devils, traitors
Those who like him say that according to the English information, you should know that his Chinese name is Ye Wei. His grandfather was an officer in the Anti-Japanese War. How did he become a traitor?
At this time, Sina got in touch with Ye Wei¡¯s management team and wanted to do a phone interview, and Ye Wei happily agreed.
On this day, this exclusive interview was also published on the front page of the website. Fans who learned about it immediately clicked to view it, and the black men were ready to take action at the same time.
"Self-deprecating?"
Albert read this review of Ye Wei¡¯s film in the Los Angeles Times and frowned. Thinking back to ¡°Napoleon,¡± where is the self-deprecation? It's not like this kid is talking nonsense
After thinking for a while, he called on his cell phone and asked a little hastily: "Boy, why is that movie self-deprecating?"
The two of them had known each other since the premiere of "The Wedding Is Coming" and exchanged business cards. They didn't usually keep in touch, but this time the old man was really confused and couldn't figure it out.
"Hey, Roger" Ye Wei's voice was a little surprised, "You mean "Napoleon the Great"? Well, I thinkit is self-deprecating from beginning to end. At the beginning, Napoleon answered the kid and said, 'What do I want to do? Just do whatever, oh my God, he told a kid about the theme of the movie, and there were a whole school bus full of kids, Kt6 kids; teasing)¡±
"Isn't this just playing tricks on freaks?" Albert asked again, "Have you seen "Welcome to the Dollhouse"? I gave it 4 stars. It's the same teenage pain, the same weird loser, it's full of Anger, passion and character resistance, cruelty, pungency, philosophy, black humor, it is also the debut of director and screenwriter Todd Solondz.
And what about Napoleon? Everything he did was asking for trouble, and even he laughed at his own efforts. As a result, he suddenly became a freak by performing a weird dance. Why did the audience think so? Just like when you watch a retarded person doing simple crafts and you excitedly say it¡¯s great, this is just shameless superiority and pity.
Director Jared Hess, he didn¡¯t want to discuss anything at all, and in the end he wanted a Hollywood-style happy ending. The ending of "Welcome to the Dollhouse" is that another sad school year awaits the girl. What a permanent irony of Napoleon, only some unrealistic fantasies. "
"Napoleon is not Dawn, and "Napoleon" is not "Welcome to the Dollhouse."" Ye Wei laughed helplessly, "It's not about the pain of teenagers, it's not that cruel and ruthless, I love Dawn too, but that It is a very serious world, and Napoleon's world also has a real side: we grow up in a daze.
And it¡¯s also spicy. Napoleon also used a time machine and he wanted to go back to the 1980s. Before that, he had made a lot of efforts to change his life. He failed, so he wanted to leave. This is the same as "Welcome to the Dollhouse", isn't it? You try a lot, but you're still a mess.
The difference is its happy ending, which is one of the reasons why I love it. Napoleon himself has not actually changed, he just has some hope.
His hope is achieved through hard work, courage and luck. The key is, do you think nerds can explode? I think so. Nerd Explosion won applause, not because he is no longer a nerd, but because everyone knows him better.
You know there are movies that open up scars in people's hearts and there are movies that heal those scars. This movie is both self-deprecating and encouraging. When freaks feel down in the future, they can say to themselves: ¡®I am a Napoleon, and I can also be a Napoleon. , why teenagers are excited to watch this movie, because it gives them dreams.¡±
"Then you still say you are laughing at yourself?"
"It's cool to dream with a smile"
Albert was silent for a long time and then said: "Boy, you are veryEmotional. I think nerds can explode, but not in a comedic way. "
"Roger, why are you so serious? Put down "Welcome to the Dollhouse", it's the year 204."
After ending the call, Albert fell into deep thought again. Maybe he should watch Napoleon again.
"Yes, of course it's good. We'll discuss it in detail when the time comes."
Home office, put down the phone, Maurer squealed with joy, new job interview invitation, cinematographer for the family comedy project "Alien". It was a project with a budget of 600,000. This was his fourth or fourth job recently. Although the five opportunities may not necessarily be negotiated in the end, his industry position is no longer marginal.
Because of "Wedding Day is Coming", he turned over and rose up, just like Father Time forgave him and restored his youth, hahaha
I love VIYI love VIY
It was not just Maurer who shouted this, but also Peter Heller. His reputation as a producer could not return to the state before the "Descendants of Jordan" was screwed up. But he was safe, and the film producers and investors were back. I am beginning to believe him. He has overcome the difficulties in life and has not been eliminated by the film industry.
There are also screenwriter Carsten McCann, editor Suzanne Hines, and composer Christopher Leonards, who was almost killed by "Soul Dreams"
The luckiest ones are "Bourne" Todd Sage and "Kana" Ashley I. Matto. Two unknown older actors who did not have INDb profile pictures suddenly received auditions for supporting roles in many comedy movies. The contract documents inviting the next film contract are right in front of you.
Not only that, with the current box office, they can also get a post-paid salary and bonus, which is great
Not only them, Michael River is also very excited. Now it is certain, certain and certain that the script of "Little Miss Sunlight" will be filmed, and I believe that VIY can make it well.
With Ye Wei¡¯s success, Lawyer Salton has also gained many new clients, and everything is developing upwards.
It¡¯s done, mom, on top of the world
? And Nicholas Tucci and Gia Coppola also received widespread praise for their performance this time. The Coppola family really stole the show this year.
Some people are lucky and some are unlucky. Kevin Thomas, the more successful Ye Wei becomes, the more he is reviled. There is no place for him in the film industry anymore. He is completely finished.
"Weige, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, can you let me go?"
That night, Kevin Thomas was very drunk. After being thrown out of the bar, he sat on the street corner and started talking on the phone, talking emotionally.
"I didn't do anything to you. It was your own fault that sent you into the abyss. If you want me to publicly say that I forgive you and believe that you have changed, get away from me. But can I stop you from making a movie? You If you want to shoot, no one can stop you. If you want to change, no one can stop you. But you? Kevin Thomas? I have nothing to say to you, that¡¯s it.¡±
¡ª¡ª
The phone fell to the ground, and Kevin Thomas collapsed drunk, looking like a homeless man on the street.
On Saturday, June 2, Roger Ebert adjusted his review of "Napoleon" from 6 stars to 2 stars on his official website. He also added a paragraph after the original review: "I was impressed by it." I'd like to tell you that this film has a self-deprecating side. Indeed, it has some self-deprecating moments, but that doesn't cover up its shallowness and fantasy.
Even so, the media and the public all know that this is the recognition of Ye Wei¡¯s film review. The half star was won by VIY for it, and it shines with the light of VIYR
This is influence
Jared and Jerusha were both in disbelief when they saw this change.
It's been almost a month since "Wedding Day" was released. During this period, Lovett never felt at ease even a day. He wanted to talk to Willis about it several times, but every time he opened his mouth, Willis' face turned wrong. Changing the topic made it difficult for him to continue.
The big shots didn¡¯t bother him, so he gradually thought that everything was fine. It was just that the superstar was moody, so he was still worried about it Then something happened, an angry call from Willis came out of the blue.
""Wedding Day" is going to gross 20 million at the box office. Did you know? They are about to announce the project of "Little Miss Sunshine". Will the whole world know that I am a fool?"
Sina: Hello Ye Wei, we are honored to have this telephone interview with you. This is your first interview with Chinese media.
Ye Wei: Hello, Chinese friends, yes, I feel very honored too.
Sina: I have prepared ten questions for you today. The first one is a question that domestic netizens have been debating for a long time. Can you speak Chinese?
Ye Wei (laughing, answering in fluent Chinese): Of course I can. I can listen, read, and write. It is true that there are many descendants of Chinese immigrants who cannot speak Chinese, but I grew up with bilingual education. My mother is H6F East Asian. I am a bachelor in the department, I am better than you think.??I am proficient in Chinese, ancient poetry, and classical Chinese. I love Chinese, it is a great and beautiful language, let's do this interview in Chinese.
Sina: Okay, have you been to China?
Ye Wei (the rest of the answers are in Chinese): I have been there many times. When I was very young, about five or six years old, our family would go back to visit relatives and travel. Then every year we would go to China at least once. I witnessed it. China has undergone tremendous changes, and its appearance is different every year. This year I plan to travel to China in August.
Sina: Welcome. Is your grandfather an anti-Japanese veteran?
Ye Wei: Well, "If an enemy invades, the most correct thing to do is to defend your home and country." These were his exact words. I've always been proud of him.
Sina: Do you watch Chinese movies? If you watch it, which actor is your favorite?
Ye Wei (laughing): Look, as long as it¡¯s a movie, I¡¯ll watch it. I pay attention to movies from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. I also like to watch some old movies, such as Shaw Brothers' martial arts movies, but it is difficult to find their video tapes in the United States. Actor? Ti Lung and David Chiang, their "The New One-Armed Sword" is one of my favorite films.
Sina: Is it possible for "Wedding Day is Coming" to be released in mainland China?
Ye Wei: I don¡¯t know much about this aspect, because I am not responsible for the distribution of the film, but I very much hope that it can meet the Chinese audience. This is one of my wishes.
Sina: You are only 6 years old and have achieved many achievements. What are your plans for the future?
Ye Wei: Continue to go to school and continue to make movies. Success has definitely changed my life. No one has come to interview me before, but I try to keep my private life as normal as possible. I will make my first real movie, and I will go to college, but of course before that, I have to finish high school.
Sina: In the United States, your nickname is VIY. Domestic fans gave you a Chinese nickname "Wei Ge". Do you like it?
Ye Wei (laughing): In fact, this is also a nickname I have had since I was a child. Many of my friends call me this. When girls call me this, I am very happy.
Sina: I heard you have a girlfriend? Can you reveal more information?
Ye Wei: I still just want to say that I am a lucky person.
Sina: You are the captain of the school¡¯s football team and led the team to win the league championship. Have you ever thought about playing professional football and joining the Chinese national football team in the future?
Ye Wei: Seriously? I have never thought about it. I have no intention of becoming a professional player. Have you forgotten? I am a filmmaker, so you are interviewing me.
Sina: Finally, is there anything you want to say to your Chinese fans?
Ye Wei: I love you, and I will always have you in my heart. Even if "Wedding Day is Coming" misses Chinese cinemas, I am sure that there will be a movie of mine that can be shown in China in the future, because I will work hard to make it happen.
