After 19 weeks of screenings, after the week of August 26th to September 1st, "The Exorcism Video" took a staggering box office of $142 million and was released in North American movie theaters across the board. This number not only makes it the best-selling pseudo-documentary in history, but also changes so many things that the media calls it an "epoch-making phenomenon."
Yunik Culler, the outside world still does not know who he is, and can only use a black figure as his image.
Recently, on Sunday, August 21, "Little Miss Sunshine" released a 1:51-minute preview trailer. It did not make fans and followers hungry, but people were just more hungry and looking forward to it. Because there are not many actual images in the trailer, it is more about introducing who is starring in such and such, as well as the prodigy director Ye Wei.
The official trailer and more footage will not be released until mid to late September.
DreamWorks has been really unlucky this year. The LMS preview trailer generally didn't receive much attention, just because it mistakenly caught up with an unfortunate disaster.
Hurricane Katrina. It formed on the 23rd and continued to strengthen into a hurricane. It made landfall in Florida on the 25th and Louisiana on the 29th, and then destroyed the entire city of New Orleans. Flooding, poor rescue, mobs looting and raping, anarchy, and many places seemed like the end of the world ¡
The entire United States has also fallen into depression. The whole world is paying attention to the situation, and many countries, regions and organizations are providing assistance.
This disaster will not pass in a day or two, and the earth will not stop because of anyone, but all movie promotions, including LMS, have indeed been affected.
Another disaster for DreamWorks, "Escape from Clone Island" dropped a measly $35,818,913 at the North American box office after seven weeks of screening (September 2-8), compared with the expected $3,670 after its first weekend. Less than 10,000 yuan, losing all money is not enough to describe its failure, it is more like dragging down the film producers.
"Red Eye Flight", which was released on August 19, also performed mediocrely. It cost $26 million to produce and opened in 3,079 theaters. Now it has only received $46.7 million in box office in the past three weeks. That's it. Not only does it not make money in theaters alone , but also a loss.
Terry Price plays an angry hotel guest in the film. He must be even more angry now. DreamWorks is angry, Wall Street is angry, and the death knell of this independent company has been sounded, one after another.
The final bet on "Little Miss Sunshine" was something I had no choice but to do. Of course, its superb quality also gives people confidence. Now, except for the animation department, everyone at DreamWorks has fallen into a huge quagmire of self-doubt. It is not easy to still have confidence. They all seem to suddenly not know how to play movies. Game over.
Ye Wei¡¯s life continues. Because of Hurricane Katrina, Nina ended her trip in Los Angeles and returned to Toronto early. At this time, if their secret was exposed, nothing would be good. However, the two of them have been out on the street many times, but they have not been discovered by the paparazzi. From the side, it also shows that VIY's popularity has been very low, and his photos are of little value.
Hurricane Katrina made Ye Wei very sad. Besides praying for the victims, all she could do was charity.
Like a donation. Speaking of money, he will get a huge amount of tens of millions of dollars from TET, including box office share, overseas distribution copyright fees, sequel copyright fees, etc., but he will not get it immediately. Although Lionsgate¡¯s distribution is unambiguous, the settlement Posting the accounts takes time, and a year and a half is not surprising. Brian, lawyer Salton and other behind-the-scenes team members are busy enough.
Before the hurricane hit, Ye Wei participated in the school's football training camp and had a great time. He was in good condition. He has not missed training in the past year, and he grew up playing football, so it was easy to regain the feeling of the game. The football team's league won't start until the winter semester, so now it's time to train and recharge.
In early September when the hurricane was raging, Harvard-Westlake started school, Wexford also started school, and schools such as Sagittarius Girls School also started school.
After four years of paying high tuition fees and making donations from time to time, Ye Wei can finally enjoy the high school campus. There are 800 students, but it is several times larger than Wexford. There are sports fields, gymnasiums, theaters, churches ¡In Nina¡¯s words ¡°It¡¯s an amusement park!¡±
Although the school is very big, Ye Wei and Lily still meet by chance.At this time, whenever this happens, they will smile sincerely, say hello and talk, without deliberately avoiding or contacting each other, just like old friends, everything happens naturally.
In fact, compared to academic style, courses and activities, Wexford is an amusement park, and students here not only have to pursue an average SAT score of 2100, but also go beyond academics and participate in many extracurricular activities, art, sports, and student government organizations. , go to the mountains, go to the farm, go overseasto make yourself better and make your resume dazzling.
Lily is very busy, busy with school studies and developing her own career. She enrolled in performing arts in her art class and wanted to try acting in movies. She joined the school cheerleading team and has been living a happy life for many years. British, wanting to try out that little part of me that is "American girl".
But her biggest interest is in news media. She joined the school magazine "The Chisel" and the annual magazine "The Chronicle". She continues to contribute to many girls' fashion magazines and is preparing to open columns.
Ye Wei also enrolled in performing arts in his art class, intending to continue to improve his performance skills. After taking a few classes, he found that it was okay. The teachers were no worse than Wexford, or even better. No wonder they could produce good actors such as the Gyllenhaal brothers and sisters, but Wexford was better than Wexford. When doing other things, learning to act means learning acting almost every day.
Nina has become the star student of the school, with both glory and pressure. She is still adapting to various changes in life. For example, it seems difficult to make good friends again, and the number of good friends is decreasing. This makes her very disappointed and also It makes more sense why Ye Wei wanted to hide his identity in the first place.
Every day on the phone, she told him a lot. With his guidance, comfort and encouragement, she was still full of energy, studying hard and improving.
"When it comes to study pressure, Nina can't compare to many of Ye Wei's friends. They all began to worry about which universities to apply to in the future and how to prepare their files. Master Gia was very relaxed, "I'll go wherever the monster goes. I'll keep an eye on you." The monster had already decided to go to the USC Film School. As long as his SAT scores were passable, it was actually impossible for him not to be admitted.
Why? He doesn't have to do anything, he makes movies.
When the time came to Thursday, September 15th, after three months of post-production, the post-production of "Little Miss Sunshine" was completed, and the final version of the feature film was 107 minutes long!
These 107 minutes are the result of more than five years since Michael Arndt started writing the first draft of the script. They are the result of countless efforts, luck, joys, sorrows, laughter and tears in the past two years. They are the result of Ye Wei using all his existing talents. , which is also the result of the entire crew both online and offline.
It¡¯s dreams, it¡¯s youth, it¡¯s passion, it¡¯s thinking it¡¯s everything!
At the moment when it was completed at 5:25 pm, Ye Wei roared to his heart's content in the post-production mixing room. He originally wanted to say something, but couldn't, so he kept shouting with the indescribable excitement! Everyone else in the mixing room was laughing too.
This became the material for the "VIY" documentary. After receiving the notice, Nanette Postern had already led the camera team to the mixing room and captured this historic moment.
However, it is not necessarily the 107 minutes that will be released in theaters around the world, because it still has to be submitted for review and rating, and it will only be successful if it successfully obtains the PG-13 rating.
There are less than two months left before the release date, and all aspects of publicity are getting faster and faster.
For Ye Wei, the "Little Miss Sunshine" project has been completed. He still needs to follow up on ratings, cooperate with publicity, and record the director's commentary version But these tasks are scattered and non-creative, so he has Time to work on your next film project.
If you look at DreamWorks¡¯ near-death predicament, you will know why in the film industry ¡°your greatest power is your work.¡±
If movies can make money by spending money, Wall Street will move into Hollywood. But in fact, it won¡¯t work. It doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s the six major mainstream giants, independent mini-mainstreams, ordinary independents it won¡¯t work. There are countless cases of tragic losses, which require some talent and luck. Neither of these things can be seen or touched, only the list of works can be used as a reference.
Therefore, the rules of the game are much simpler than those in Washington and Wall Street: no matter what you went through before you got the opportunity, no matter your strength or luck, you can make money, become popular, and sit at home and have contracts handed to you; you can¡¯t make money. , you are out, no matter how hard you try, no one will care about you.
The creative industry is generally like this. JK Rowling¡¯s new book? Booksellers competed for the title. KJ Rowling¡¯s new book? Who is that?
40-year-old Michael Bay is in big trouble, but judging from his list of works, before "Escape from Clone Island", 5 movies had a production fee of $504 million and a North American box office of $738 million (an average of $147 million). The North American box office return rate is about 1.46 times, which prevents him from being doomed. The rumors of changing the director of "Transformers" have not come true, and they probably won't. He just messed up the first time, and there are at least two more chances. .
oneA 17-year-old boy, with 2 movies worth $2.45 million in production fees, $18 billion in North American box office (an average of $90 million), and a return rate of 73.46 times, Ye Wei quietly became very popular.
??In the eyes of everyone who knows that Yunik Kuhler is Ye Wei, he must have a bright future because he is so good at making money, at least for now.
As long as he doesn¡¯t self-destruct, regardless of the success or failure of LMS, he will definitely have a directing contract for the next project, it just depends on whether it is a big project or a small one.
Ye Wei himself knew that of course there would be one, and the worst he could do was invest on his own, but now there was no chance for him to be a sole proprietor. He owed too many favors, and at the same time too many people wanted to get his next project, even though there were Maybe he was thrown into hell because of the LMS fiasco, and nothing will count in the end, but this is not the time to talk about intentions.
Julia Roberts's eyes are shining; DreamWorks may suddenly no longer be an independent company, but it will definitely continue to produce, and its eyes are shining; Playtone still wants to cooperate; Lionsgate also wants to cooperate; CAA Wanting him to make films for major studios, Brian looked forward to getting commissions; and this and that and his own ideas.
Since this time, he has been exposed to a bunch of projects, and they are still increasing, either because of his own interests, or recommended by others, or trying, or maybe
