Shocking Hollywood! On the second weekend of the release of LMS, Ye Wei announced his competition for the adaptation rights of "The Lovely Bones". His spokesperson Leslie Dart told the media:
"Wei loves Susie. He fell in love with this unfortunate girl when he read this novel for the first time. He wanted to film her story, which is why he joined the competition. As a fan of Peter Jackson, he fell in love with Jackson There's a lot of respect, they're moved by the same feelings, it's just normal competition."
It is reported that Ye Wei has begun to contact the original author Alice Sebold.
This incident set off a huge wave, which made Ye Wei¡¯s movie fans, Jackson¡¯s movie fans, and tlb¡¯s book fans all dizzy with a series of exclamation points! ! ! ! ! !
There are conspiracy theorists who wonder if this is a joint hype between Ye Wei and Jackson. LMS is in theaters and "King Kong" is about to be released. They are fighting for a bone.
The media were surprised for many reasons. It seems that viy is determined not to be a sunshine boy anymore. The LMS project was established first, but look at what he is doing after that, tet, and then tlb? ! Would just "I love Susie" suffice? It's a super sensitive subject, it's the most unlikely novel to be adapted into a movie, and Jackson is almost done with it!
??The little prodigy wants to seize food from the tiger's mouth? What was he thinking, did he still take Jackson seriously?
Andhe won't stop? Even a few months?
This is also surprising to everyone, but the reactions are different, viy fans are speechless, this is viy, don¡¯t do things that are not difficult
A large part of tlb fans are not happy, "Seriously? Ye Wei?", "He is a genius, and the movies he makes are very good, but how can he compare to Jackson!" There are also some fans who prefer Ye Wei. Otherwise, a A talented young man filming Susie makes people feel more comfortable than a bearded old man filming Susie.
If viy is like Ray, Jackson is like Mr. Harvey, he is so perverted. Before "The Lord of the Rings", people's biggest understanding of Jackson was that he was perverted.
Jackson¡¯s fans also have several attitudes. One kind really hopes that Ye Wei will win so that Jackson can go back to filming blockbusters; the other kind is very angry and offended! viy is really overestimating his abilities! "Jackson in "Angel of Sin" can shut up Ye Wei!", "Has Ye Wei seen "Zombie Crossing"? He will be sawed into pieces like the zombies in it."

This weekend, LMS¡¯s perfect rating was shattered.
"Entertainment Weekly"'s famous film critic Owen Graeberman gave it a C-level rating, causing the Rotten Tomatoes freshness to drop to 99%. This is the first time that LMS has received negative reviews from mainstream film critics:
All happy families are similar. All troubled families, at least in the movies, are unhappy and funny in different ways. If you felt like a kindred spirit from Little Miss Sunshine , you'll have enough to enjoy this comedy of quirky characters with lovable personalities that's destined to run on the sitcom slot.
The Hoover family includes an incompetent, dim-witted father (Tom Hanks) who is eager to put his annoying "Nine Steps to Success" to market; a saintly, annoying mother (Julia Roberts), whose her gay brother, a suicidal Proust scholar (Tim Roth); her teenage son (Paul Dano), a man who hates his family so much that he doesn't speak for over a year; and grandpa (Alan- Akin), a grouch who took heroin "I had nothing to lose."
Sorry, guys. But these are not living characters walking and talking along the screenwriter's index card catalogue. There's no denying, though, that Little Miss Sunshine has a special kind of inventive cleverness.
The whole family drives to Redondo Beach so that 7-year-old Oliver can participate in the "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty pageant. The movie creates its soul with an "indie art" realism: a leisurely pace, a cute series of highways Movie scenes, superb actors who can turn junk into gold.
The beauty pageant thing is sheer hypocrisy, and when the movie mocks the weird little whore-like contestants but glorifies Oliver who does the same thing, essentially, what is that? Flattery? Yes, but more than that, it's not fun.
"Irving Graeberman bombarded LMS, does it mean that Ye Wei produced defective products?" hitfix
Graeberman¡¯s words are harsh, and he is the only person in the film critic circle to speak against him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a bombardment, and it is very targeted.
It's not the actors' business, they're alche-schlock-into-gold, they're great; it's not even the screenwriter's business, the screenwriter's idiosyncratic-plastic-cleverness )";director? The director is not mentioned anywhere in the whole article, and Ye Wei is not mentioned anywhere.
But the whole article is not so much a criticism of the film as it is?Boom director, "independent art" is in double quotation marks. The actors exist in the defective product, and even the soul is "synthetic (artificial)", and the soul of the film is given by the director.
To put it bluntly, it means this: Come on, the reason why LMS is so successful is not because of the cast, or Ye Wei just made a pretentious sitcom.
As soon as this movie review came out, it immediately aroused public outrage among movie fans because it was simply a misinterpretation and nonsense! Or is it doomed to be obviously biased? Isn't this prejudice?
"Hey, are you sure that the reason why Devine hasn't spoken for more than a year is because he hates his family so much? Do you know who Nietzsche is, right?" thedude65's words were very helpless.
Samurh retorted: "I'm sorry, Graeberman, you're a lousy guy. The movie makes fun of the contestants? Are you making fun of yourself? Can't you see that Olive is becoming them? But she's not yet, and she's not being celebrated, She just became detached from there." Alex-K was a little excited: "You are not even as good as me! Just scold Viy if you want. Is this necessary?"
It seems that if someone makes a start, there will be a second and third one.
Following Graeberman, Jim Ridley of the Village Voice also gave a negative review: "Like that limping Volkswagen bus that hapless characters drove from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach "Little Miss Sunshine" is a rickety car that's going downhill most of the time."
Roger Moore of the "Orlando Sentinel" also gave it a barely passing score of 3/5. Rotten Tomatoes included it as a negative review, causing the freshness to drop to 98%: "Sunny or dark, comedy should never be like "Sunshine" "Little Miss" is equally predictable."
There are many ordinary viewers who are dissatisfied with LMS. There are hundreds of thousands of people behind the 95% love rating of 75.38 million box office and 5% conversion. However, most of them cannot accept Oliver's dance and think it is inappropriate and ruins the whole movie. In the movie, Ye Wei was even called a pervert.
Because the film is "predictable", it's really fresh, especially Oliver's dance, so predictable! ?
How did Roger Moore foresee it? Not everyone will like anything, but seeing this kind of inexplicability and prejudice really makes people who love LMS and Ye Wei angry.
"Foresight? Don't laugh me to death!" Gia was struck by the point of laughter and smiled obscenely, "Hehehehehe, this really kills me What exactly did you foresee?"
??Are you anticipating the excitement on the screen, or are you anticipating the current box office? Even the witches Emma frequented couldn't predict it. The most powerful one said "more than 50 million in the first week."
No matter what, LMS¡¯s perfect reviews are no longer there. The three bad reviews have one thing in common. The actors are great. The problem is the screenwriter and director, especially the director.
Maybe it¡¯s because the crazy praise of Ye Wei has caused some film critics to feel disgusted, and they subconsciously pick on me when I go to watch LMS. Maybe there are other reasons.
The two leading film critics of "Entertainment Weekly" both wrote film reviews for LMS. The former one was Lisa Schwarzbaum's perfect review before the release, and Graeberman's review was added after the release. In fact, his film reviews have always been "mediocre", and sometimes he rates some vulgar commercial films higher than classic old films, so he has been active on the "most confused film critics" list for a long time.
Speaking of racism, Graeberman was full of praise for Ang Lee and "Brokeback Mountain". He probably just disliked LMS and Ye Wei and really didn't like them.
There are also people who dislike him! Stephen King, published a bombshell in the new week.
Last year, Stephen King published an article criticizing a group of film critics such as Richard Corliss of Time Magazine, "Film critics who were originally reliable have become very tame and even soft-hearted. Sometimes It's just stupid," he said, lamenting that the film's ratings have plateaued.
This time, the horror master put forward another point of view. Some film critics are not only stupid and cannot understand the movie, but also like to sensationalize! Yes, Owen Gleiberman.
¡°Like Irving Graberman, who thinks Little Miss Sunshine is a dud, it makes me very confused how much higher the level of appreciation of some film critics is than that of a random stranger I meet in a movie theater? They are supposed to be the general public. Film-watching guides, but if they¡¯re so stupid, who needs them?¡±
The media lamented that Stephen King has become a fan of Ye Wei since he watched tet. He expressed his feelings this time and really praised LMS.
It¡¯s not just this master of horror! Film critic master Roger Ebert was also angry!
Albert has published a rare second film review for LMS! The old man acted alone and acted arbitrarily. The film critics scolded him for giving him three stars for "Money, Not Life," so he didn't want others to disagree. He didn't mention Graeberman or any of his colleagues in the whole story.??I just didn¡¯t like the last movie review enough, so this time I want to give the director a good thumbs up
People really didn¡¯t foresee that the originally harmonious LMS review turned into a turmoil.
¡¡
When Peter Jackson heard that Ye Wei was going to compete in "The Lovely Bones", he was very surprised, what? But he didn't get angry. To be honest, he didn't take it seriously.
LMS hasn't seen it yet. TET looked at him average. After changing him to shoot, he would let "Maggie" twist his head and then stand upside down, pour out the internal organs from his neck. But Ye Wei is indeed a genius. He knows that this young man is very wild. He also knows that young people have been wild before.
He certainly did not ignore this matter, and almost immediately contacted Alice Sebold personally.
"Ellie, we have been following this project for two years. You know our sincerity. Ye Wei is a genius, but I am not saying that his current ability and sincerity are probably not as good as ours. And in terms of budget, his What's the budget? We're 60 million to 80 million dollars. What does that mean?
??This will set a record for the highest cost of producing a feature film. There is no higher cost. "The Lovely Bones" has become the most expensive feature film in history. This is something Ye Wei can't give you. I know Hollywood. He is very popular now, but he still can't get this budget. Only I can.
With money, you can make better movies. Have you watched the preview DVD of "King Kong"? "
"See it, Peter, you made another epic movie!"
"Thank you. It cost 207 million. At least it has better special effects than the old version. The fantasy part of "The Lovely Bones" requires a high budget to do well. This is also our biggest advantage over Ye Wei. One or two thousand Wan can¡¯t do anything.¡±
"I'm still going to meet Ye Weijian and listen to his thoughts."
"Yes, of course. Does he want to interview you? I have an idea. We can have a three-way interview and let's talk about it. Yes, it can be done next week."
