"The Chronicles of Narnia" and "King Kong" still have huge room for improvement, and the final ranking will change. LMS can also rise to 12th or even 11th, while tet is firmly at 15th.
Among the top 15 of the year, Ye Wei alone accounts for two and only one! Although none of them have entered the top 10, if you count the director's personal North American box office total this year, his 294,166,930 is temporarily ranked second, and he should be second in the end.
Because the newly released "Munich Massacre" did not perform as expected, the agency predicted that it would only receive 40-50 million yuan, so Spielberg's total amount would not reach 290 million.
First place: George Lucas, second place: Ye Wei, third place: Steven Spielberg
Some interesting data, the average age of the three is 45.6 years old, Luska is 61 years old, Spielberg is 59 years old, and Ye Wei is 17 years old; the average production cost of the three people's five movies is 64.29 million, Spielberg spent 202 million, Luska spent 113 million, and Ye Wei spent 6.45 million.
If the cost of LMS is reasonable, because Hanks + Roberts are worth 50 million, and earning 150 million is an explosion with all the conditions; then tet is completely crazy, and the shocking story that officially makes the pseudo-documentary official. An incredible business miracle.
Horror movies can always do wonders, from "Little Flowers" to "Blair Witch" and even "Jaws". tet is not unprecedented, but there is something that will definitely be unprecedented.
Although there are dead people in both movies, one is a comedy that makes people laugh to death, and the other is a horror movie that scares people to death.
So completely opposite! Created by the same director.
Is viy a genius? How talented is he? Data can sometimes defeat all doubts, and this is the time.
In addition to box office data, there is also the youngest Golden Globe Award for Best Director nomination, and a high probability of receiving an Oscar nomination, because in the past half month, LMS has appeared at the Film Critics Association Awards across the United States, and has entered the top 10 of almost all annual awards. As long as Ye Wei can be nominated for the Directors Guild Award for the movie, it will be guaranteed, and it will be announced on January 12 next year.
No matter whether there are nominations or not, some things are set, and the various rankings from Vanity Fair, People, Empire, etc. tell it all:
The top 100 most influential people, the top 100 powerful people, the top 10 new generation power people, the top 50 most handsome men, the best talents of the year, the best directors under the age of 20
We still don¡¯t know what Ye Wei¡¯s plus or minus Q score is now, but it will definitely not be less than 20 points anymore, and it won¡¯t drop much for a long time. viy just announced that it will produce three movies in 2006, which attracted a lot of attention.
What a viy year! When reading the annual summaries of these magazines, websites, etc., movie fans were really moved and horrified. After Ye Wei made a stunning debut in 2004, he showed off his talents in 2005 and attracted the attention of the whole world, watching the rise of a talented bad boy.
For a long time, althoughIn this way, just because of Ye Wei's age and ethnicity, he has always been greatly despised, as if he is nothing great, but the summary shows that he is really great.
Director, producer, screenwriter, actor, he is proficient in everything and participates in everything; he has also been running a column in the film section of the Los Angeles Times for almost two years, and has one of the most popular celebrity blogs on the Internet and the most popular celebrity blog on YouTube. One of the hottest personal channels.
The top 50 most handsome men, the top 20 most handsome teenage male stars, and other ranking lists say that viy is very handsome, not the kind that would be considered handsome for a director, but the kind that would be considered handsome for a pretty boy or a model. He is almost 18 years old. He grew more and more handsome, with a tall figure and a sunny and heroic face, but also a little bad.
During the previous LMS promotion period, Ye Wei¡¯s blockbusters for various magazines were definitely treasured by female fans.
No wonder some fans say that Ye Wei is a masterpiece in human history.
A new idol is unstoppably sweeping the world. With his talent, appearance, personality, age, and wealth, even if Ye Wei is an Asian boy, he is burdened with too many unfair stereotypes and discrimination, and it has also swept girls of all ethnic groups.
Mainstream media have published more than once editorials on why Ye Wei is charming because he dares to break stereotypes and can do it. Some people say that Asian boys are not humorous, while others say that Asian boys are not cool, not masculine, and can¡¯t do sports. , can't socialize, can't chase girlsall of them are ineffective on him.
Handsomeness is not Ye Wei¡¯s trump card. There are many people who are more handsome than him. Movie fans who like him prefer his inner qualities. Just like when there were no photos of Yunique Kuhler, he still had a large group of cult fans. The most handsome thing about viy is his words and deeds.
Yahoo ingeniously made a list of Ye Wei¡¯s top 10 personal quotes this year, commenting, ¡°viy, so humorous, cool, talented, and wild¡±:
1-"I saw one or two corpses, heads floating in the wind, chopped in half, mouths open." Quoting lines from "The Butcher" in response to the rising exorcism debate
2-"Yes, I was unconscious for a short while, and I woke up when the nurse gave me the injection, and then I got my 'brave kid' sticker." Statement after accidentally falling off a cliff and being seriously injured on the eve of LMS filming
3-""Star Wars Episode III" is a bad movie that you will desperately criticize after watching it. The color of the lightsaber is wrong, the shape of D2 is outdated, everyone looks like having a robe party, Natalie Poe Terman's performance is so bad I just hope that George Lucas will be scolded and make another three movies."
4-"At least 10 million people will hear, f-word-mpaa! f-word-mpaa! f-word-mpaa!" The appeal meeting in the LMS rating controversy spoke
5¡ª¡°I don¡¯t want to forget how I screwed up, because after all, I still like screwing up like this. Because we screwed up.¡± Statement on failed LMS rating appeal
6-"It's time to introduce me. I am the talented and handsome god of weddings." Yunique Culler quoted lines from "Wedding Day is Coming" to announce that he is Ye Wei
7-"It can make me cold in summer, and it can make me hot in winter. This is the charm of movies, just like a cold." Excerpted from what viy said
8-"We don't work on weekends, after all, we have to attend the Oscars." When he was a guest on "The Daily Show", he answered Jon Stewart about LMS's dream lineup.
9-"I'm sorry, everyone. Regarding the North American box office estimate of "Little Miss Sunshine", it turns out that I was really wrong. I apologize to everyone. I was wrong." Apology statement after LMS box office exceeded 130 million box office announcement
10 - "Leave me alone! Go to hell, Hollywood." After the huge success of LMS, he rejected all film offers from major studios due to disputes over final editing rights.
¡¡
No matter how many Q points there are, in fact Ye Wei is already a cultural symbol.
After the craze of "Wedding Day" last summer, Ye Wei gradually calmed down, but in the second half of this year, with the start of the promotion of LMS, the announcement of dual identities, and the release of LMS, his name appeared in a large number of TV news reports , entertainment programs, talk shows, and dramas.
"What do you think you are? A genius or viy or something?" Charlie Harper, the protagonist of the popular sitcom "Two and a Half Men," complained about his nephew Jack.
¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯m Unique Culler, the one who filmed ¡°The Exorcism Video.¡±¡± said a suspect in the popular suspense comedy ¡°Monster.¡±
"You went to see Ye Wei's movie and you didn't invite me!?", "You are dressed like Ye Wei in "Wedding Day is Coming" today, a sexy little bitch.", "That boy is really hot. , and he¡¯s so talented, I even doubted whether he was Ye Wei.¡± There are dialogues like this in many shoujo dramas.
Not only appeared in lines, Ye Wei also appeared in the famous "South Park"!
Only idols, widely known by the public, areOnly those who are popular among young people and are controversial themselves will be targeted. Because this is a spoof and satire, the words of the person being spoofed are not interesting if the audience is not familiar with them. This is "South Park" Season 9, Episode 14, "Vie-geni-viy," which aired on Comedy Central on December 7.
The character's name is vigor-ivan-yeah. He has a typical South Park paper-cut look. He is a teenage Asian boy with black hair and big eyes that are not typical of Asian shapes. He is wearing a gray director beret, a red jacket with viy printed on the chest, and Black pants.
One day, a young man named Viy came to South Park Town. It was said that he was a distant relative of the fake Chinese Liu Jin. He raised funds in the town in the name of making a movie and persuaded many residents, including Stan and four others, with his eloquent words. He had a child, slept with several girls on the promise of his role, and then ran away with all the money.
The four Stans wanted to recover their money and looked for him, and found him in Hollywood. Unexpectedly, viy actually made it in Hollywood, became a big star and a rich man, and was still competing for Oscars. He said that people in Hollywood are all idiots, and he didn't know how he got there. The four of them asked him to return their investment, but viy gave them some DVDs, saying that all the money had been turned into movies and that they had made no money and had lost all their money.
But viy lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills and has a room full of luxury cars. The four Stans continue to ask for money. Viy calls a group of teenage fans and wants to pay them back for their sexual services. However, the girls tied up all four of them and threw them into the sea in the name of sexual torture.
The three Stans were rescued by fishermen, and Kenny died again. The three were determined to take revenge and took the DVD to the MPAA to report that Viy's movie was full of violence, pornography and dirty words, and Kenny had already been harmed by it. MPAA sent personnel to arrest Viy and put him in jail, where a large group of independent filmmakers were also imprisoned.
The MPAA staff who had swallowed up all of Viy¡¯s movies, property and girl fans began to divide the spoils, and staged a bloody killing and pornographic show in front of the three Stans. In the end, they all died due to internal fighting. The three Stans took the money and returned to the town. In the end, viy used his ingenuity to successfully escape from prison. In fact, he found that the prison door was not locked. He left the prison and went to nowhere, but he said he must take revenge.
This episode has a viewership of 2.46 million, which is among the best this season with high ratings. It also received enthusiastic responses from fans of "South Park", who appealed to the producers to let Viy appear more. Anyway, he There will be no shortage of news. It has only been half a month and the violence has hurt people.
Ye Wei, who was so badly pranked, did not get angry or ignore it. At that time, he quoted the classic line from "Terminator" on his blog, "I will be back!" as a humorous expression.
Not only in various dramas, viy also appears in some black rap music. His last name yeah gives musicians room to play. Some people wrote songs for Ye Wei, and they were all relatively unknown female singers. The 21-year-old Katie Hudson, who had released a gospel album of the same name, wrote a song called "Luring Boy".
The lyrics tell the story of a girl who falls in love with a boy who is younger than herself. The boy is unique, talented, and inspiring, but the boy is younger, and the girl hesitates.
This single was released on YouTube and received a great response.
In order to express their love for Ye Wei, some people wrote songs, some recorded confessions, discussions, praises, etc. videos and uploaded them to YouTube, and some people tattooed his Chinese and English names, viy, avatar, etc. on their bodies and then posted them online. Both boys and girls do these things, and it¡¯s not just girls who like viy.
Although Ye Wei still and will still suffer a lot of contempt and hostility, unknowingly, a new era cultural idol is already there and entering 2006. - Didn't finish reading?
