- Why did Ye Wei's ex-girlfriends tacitly choose him to be the ghost in the photo?
Maybe it¡¯s because the Los Angeles Times report the day after the announcement used a photograph of him playfully sticking out his tongue as a picture, with a frivolous and uninhibited look, and designed the line: "Is it enough? It's my turn to say it." ¡±
The darling of mainstream media!
Yunik Kuhler is equal to Ye Wei. The Los Angeles Times exclaimed that "genius's prank is a trick for every mortal", the San Francisco Chronicle praised it as "the most incredible miraculous moment in the history of film", and the New York Times lamented that "all the underestimates of Ye Wei have been greatly affected." "Punishment", "Washington Post" said "VIY directed shocking facts"
News agency giants such as the Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse have also issued press releases.
In the Associated Press article "Ye Wei's Light and Darkness Shocked the World," Amy Barnett, editor-in-chief of Teen-People magazine, said: "There has never been such a movie wizard. Invest in Ye Wei Everyone has become a winner, and he has used his achievements to become the hottest person in the new generation of Hollywood."
Tom Oldenberg, head of distribution at Lionsgate Pictures, said: "It may be hard for people to believe that we just found out about it, and it really shook our lives. Now people can look forward to "Little Miss Sunshine" with peace of mind. It was certainly a spectacle of genius.¡±
"Missing "The Exorcism Video" may be the stupidest thing DreamWorks has done this year." Wall Street analyst Richard Greenfield said, "They had a chance to avoid being so embarrassed. But they should be lucky that they still have "Little Miss Sunshine" "Maybe save some face."
"We should all be glad that Ye Wei is not a shooting star." The article concluded. "This controversial child prodigy is exciting the world with his light and darkness. Ye Wei said, 'Are you surprised? That's exactly what I thought. Wanted.¡±
Reuters reported that "the anxious MPAA is getting nervous again. Ye Wei's final blow is just like his invincible performance at the grievance meeting. Uncontrollable events will urge the MPAA to make concessions." Agence France-Presse said " The world is beginning to be immersed in the craze for Ye Wei," and United Press stated that "the alarming degree is increasing, and the world's reaction is beyond praise. Ye Wei is a victory for mankind."
As Reuters said, because Culler is equal to Ye Wei, the two protagonists of this year¡¯s rating controversy are the same person! This caused the LMS rating tsunami that had just ebbed to surge back again.
People are paying attention, the rebels are fighting back, Roger Ebert has written another article criticizing the corruption of the MPAA, and many independent filmmakers such as Todd Solondz, Kirby Dick, and Kevin Smith have spoken out and criticized them. The stupidity and decadence of the MPAA.
In the "VIY Said" column of the Los Angeles Times on Monday the 24th, Ye Wei really said something. This opinion piece titled "The Devil That Can't Be Driven Out" criticized the MPAA's rating for the second consecutive week. The system is unclear and unclear, like a demon possessing independent filmmakers. It is simply sinful!
The article also talked about the real thoughts of "Yonique Culler": "For these two ratings, anger is private interest, disappointment and doubt are public interest. If an industry association cannot face up to its own shortcomings and improve them, then it is the industry's fault." Tumor.
The reason why authority is authority is not that it has not been questioned, effectively supervised, and open and transparent, but that it can still give people confidence after experiencing these. "
He once again asked the MPAA to issue complete rules and regulations as soon as possible to stop disappointing people.
This editorial, which was not mixed with much personal emotion, has received unanimous praise and a comeback-like response. The number of petitions online has never stopped and has exceeded 200,000. This is a number that cannot be ignored.
The storm that I thought was over suddenly turned around. Although the LMS rating will no longer be changed, the MPAA and CARA finally could not withstand the pressure of public opinion.
On the 25th, the two associations were obviously trying to do crisis public relations. They made a joint statement through the New York Times. They still did not admit that the rating of LMS was wrong, but admitted that there were indeed deficiencies in the current system. They could Do better and promise to publish the full charter as soon as possible.
The MPAA ultimately lost this public relations war in an ugly way, and this preemptive self-slap was very beautiful.
If they don't do this, no one knows how the rebels will do it. Now they can basically do whatever they want. The documentary "Unrated Film" that has been nervous will be released next year, and the pressure of public opinion will definitely be there. will be bigger
It's better to admit your mistake quickly before they have time to do so, and act like "I know I was wrong, and I will change it, please give me a chance", and draw a conclusion to this incident, without giving any advice. There is no room for Ye Wei and others to criticize, "You see I have admitted my mistake, what else do you think? Improvement also requires a process!"
It¡¯s about committing to release rather than thinking about it.?Is it sincere enough? Is it advanced enough? In fact, it is just released and not revised. Many provisions can still sway the judges.
But for the media and ordinary people, they are satisfied with the outcome of the protest, and many filmmakers are also satisfied. At least they can finally see the full charter!
Ye Wei has obviously already understood how far it can go. He has always said that the charter should be complete, and he did not naively ask for a new rating like the 12A in the UK. Now that he has obtained it, he is not very happy and does not say much. He just wrote on his blog Said: "Listen first."
The MPAA¡¯s admission of failure only received some ¡°okay¡± rather than ¡°well done¡±, and it did not immediately lead to a lack of criticism. The PTC (Parents Television Association of America) angrily accused: "How can the MPAA, which is inadequate in all aspects, perform its function of correctly guiding teenagers to watch movies? Such an organization is in name only."
MPAA lost, but it lost nothing except losing face. If you are thick-skinned enough, nothing will be affected.
Ye Wei¡¯s camp won, but it did not win the rating results, but it won the entire public opinion. The positive image of LMS has been unstoppable! The whole world's craze for VIY has begun!
Because of this incident, because of Yunique Culler, and because of the promotion of LMS, Ye Wei¡¯s name and figure appear everywhere!
This week, he had multiple exclusive interviews published in newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety Daily. If you combine these interviews, you will see the perfect combination of sunshine, literature and bad boy. In the young man's pictures, you will see talent, humor and kind answers. No wonder VIY's number of fans has skyrocketed.
"Los Angeles Times": People are curious about what happened to "The Exorcism Video"?
Ye Wei: The story is very impressive, but it¡¯s actually not that complicated. LMS completed a stage of preparatory work in December last year. I had some free time, and wanted to improve my talents and experience before LMS started shooting, and get rid of the doubts about me. Colleagues who still have doubts about their abilities came up with the TET project. Let me make it clear, it¡¯s not that I have a dual personality, and it¡¯s not just to coax girls. If you want to make movies to coax girls, making horror movies will only mess things up.
"Variety Daily": How did you and Nina Dobrev get started? How would you rate her performance?
Ye Wei: When we were in school in Toronto, we were classmates at the same school. We naturally fell in love not long after we met. Nina is a very talented person, and her performance is miraculous, because she had never performed in any film or television before playing TET, but she successfully portrayed "Maggie". This is inseparable from her hard work and studiousness. When filming the scene of running barefoot in the snow, everyone on the set couldn't bear it. I was heartbroken for as long as it took to shoot, but she insisted on finishing it. I am proud of her.
"Los Angeles Times": Why is there "Yonik Kuhler"? Does this name have any special meaning?
Ye Wei: At first, it was called Yunik-Gu. The first name was Wei in Chinese and the surname was my mother¡¯s surname. Later, when it was released, I felt that this name was too easy to recognize, so I changed it to Kule, which is cool in Chinese. I released it this way because I didn't want people to think I was joking, and it was a fun challenge to start over.
"Hollywood Reporter": Do you think TET's success is an accident?
Ye Wei: I believe that all success in the world is accidental, and success and failure are determined by chance. But if the inevitability is not done before, there will be no chance visit. The careful production of TET by all our crew and the excellent distribution by Lionsgate are the biggest reasons for its success.
"Los Angeles Times": Your first two movies are so different, what about LMS?
Ye Wei: Yes, it¡¯s very different. There is one less talented actor in TET. Yes, it¡¯s me. (Laughs) Fortunately, they are both movies. Movies have the same essence, such as how to release one's thoughts and emotions, and how to tell stories. LMS is a different story. You will see a very interesting family, a lot of black humor, and a lot of interesting conflicts. You can get some resonance in life through laughter. I believe that you will not be disappointed.
"Variety Daily": How do you treat the great success, reputation and wealth that TET has created for you?
Ye Wei: I am grateful for everything. I am a very lucky person. I try not to do too much for the joy of success and material enjoyment. I am also a human being. These will make people relax and can't do anything. I let myself think that it is not enough and that I can do more and better. Don't let yourself Stop.
"Los Angeles Times": In the face of all the recent criticism, what do you have to say?
Ye Wei: I won¡¯t be completely right, but I really haven¡¯t done anything wrong recently. I wish someone would tell me what to do and everyone would say that kid is okay. This is impossible. No matter what you do, there will always be people who don't like you. You can't control whether others like you or not. Do your own thing well and make the people who like you happy. This is the most important thing.
"Hollywood Reporter": Regarding your criticism of LMS box office expectations?
Ye Wei: 100 million box office? Although I didn¡¯t say these words, I accepted them. I won't deny that I have huge expectations for the LMS, it's that good.
"Los Angeles Times": Your documentary is about to be broadcast, and you have gone through the turmoil of changing channels, from the Science Fiction Channel to the IFC Channel.
Ye Wei: It¡¯s not just a documentary about me, it¡¯s a documentary about a group of people. My journey to this point has never been just about me. It's a good thing to change the channel, it can be on the channel that suits it best, thank you Sci-Fi Channel.
¡¡
On the night that Ye Wei announced his identity and relationship, DreamWorks and IFC Cable Channel jointly announced a cooperation. "VIY" will premiere on IFC at 8:00 PM during prime time on Sunday, October 30th!
This is really good news that makes Wei Mi people feel proud.
They are all cable channels. IFC has several million fewer users than Sci-Fi, and the subscription rate of cable TV households in the United States is more than 20% lower. However, IFC is a channel focusing on independent film and television and programs like "Film School" ( Independent-Film-Channel), its audience is more interested in Ye Wei and LMS.
"Always-on, slightly-off (always on, occasionally off)" is its slogan. There are programs scheduled almost 24 hours a day, usually two movies are played from 20:00-24:00, "VIY" The TV promotional version is only 55 minutes long, but now IFC is broadcasting the full 90-minute version as an independent film rather than a promotional documentary.
IFC Channel and IFC Movies both belong to the Rainbow Media Holding Group and have good cooperation experience with Platoon and Ye Wei. This time, it is a friend in need and a benefit. Mainly because of the latter. If Ye Wei were not Kuller, it would be a huge hit once announced and it would not cost any money. How could the IFC channel make this program transfer arrangement?
IFC spokesman Jon Krasnoff said: "VIY is a high-quality documentary with a real and touching story and a lot of undisclosed details about VIY. We saw the birth of a legend. There is no so-called image incompatibility. question."
Regarding this matter, Ye Wei notified fans on his blog, YouTube and other places, and said, "Thank you IFC for your help and look forward to more cooperation in the future!"
He also said, ¡°Everyone can see it if they want to¡±! What do people who haven¡¯t opened the IFC channel think? internet! After its premiere on TV, "VIY" will be launched on the Internet. At that time, whether it is the old video sharing website IFilm, the emerging YouTube, or Yahoo Video, all these places can watch it for free!
It¡¯s not surprising to watch free movie trailers, trailers, TV commercials, news clips, etc. on IFilm, as well as promotional documentaries.
But promotional videos can be expensive or cheap. It doesn¡¯t matter if they cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars to put online. However, the production budget of ¡°VIY¡± was $300,000. At that time, DreamWorks had just gone public and was arrogant. It was not positioned as a cheap film from the beginning. The promotional film is a documentary, otherwise Nanette Postern would not have taken over the project.
Will it be put on the Internet immediately after the premiere? Ordinary people don't understand, but people in the industry know that this is not a normal move. "VIY" can't make money from fan sales as a separate DVD, but as a bonus content of LMS's hardcover DVD, it will have its value, and the value will be low if it is included. .
Yahoo Movies interviewed Terry Price, director of DreamWorks Distribution Department. He revealed several reasons. In addition to attaching importance to publicity on the Internet, it is also because "Wei privately acquired this documentary. It already belongs to Weiduo Pictures, and Weiduo has no "In terms of money," he did not say how much the transaction price was, but Yahoo estimated it to be between 500,000 and 1 million.
"I like VIY, a prodigal!", "I will definitely watch it!", "I'm really looking forward to it!"
The comment board of this news is full of excited cheers from movie fans. This is especially good news for overseas fans. Before, they didn¡¯t know when they would see it, but now it¡¯s different! Ye Wei likes to spend money, but it all happens in charity, bonuses, and giving back to fans. Why don't people like him?
From rumors and controversies such as homosexuality, nepotism, and puppetry to the broadcast of the documentary, Ye Weifang's counterattack was a complete victory!
This may only be the beginning of the craze. With Halloween coming, how will the overseas release of "The Exorcism Video" perform?
On October 29th, will "Little Miss Sunshine" participate in the first film festival, the Tokyo International Film Festival, to gain anything? Can Ye Wei achieve zero breakthrough in awards?
What will happen to the premiere of "VIY" on October 30?
LMS¡¯s multiple critic screenings and audience previews have been held!
