Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the week of March 3rd to 9th, 4 new films were released on a large scale, one of which is the family comedy "Mermaid" with a budget of 12 million, the debut film of Elizabeth Allen, the daughter of the famous physicist Philip Allen, Sarah  -Starring Paxton, Joanna Levesque and Emma Roberts.

    After the first week, producer and distributor Fox couldn¡¯t laugh.

    "Mermaid" has average reviews, with 51% freshness and 61% love, imdb-5.2 points.

    Roger Ebert gave 2/4 stars: "The plot is predictable, the emotions are shallow, and the mermaid reminded me of my friend McHugh explaining why lobsters make ideal pets: They don't bark  , they also know deep secrets.¡±

    Elizabeth Allen disappointed the film critics, she is not a film genius.

    The box office of "Mermaid" is also very average. It only received 8,515,295 in 2,512 theaters in the first week, ranking fifth. If it is going to collect 20 million at the North American box office in the end, it will be a hit.  Its overseas distribution prospects are also bleak. When the film itself is not good, only the star is the selling point. However, when the three little girls left the United States, no one bought it.

    Its failure was a heavy blow to their film careers. All three were starring on the screen for the first time, but they did not achieve the same success as "Mean Girls."

    For Jojo, it¡¯s just a matter of fun, her focus is singing; for Paxton, her status as the protagonist of youth movies is gone; for Emma Roberts

    A month has passed since the domestic violence incident. Emma has not been charged by the prosecutor and is currently performing in "Soul Surfer" in Hawaii.  But her first starring performance was just like this. It was not very good-looking, and her performance was not praised. She was neither good nor bad. She was just an ordinary girl. She was even considered worse than Jojo, who was acting for the first time.

    The only good news is that despite the dismal performance of the film, her popularity is still on the rise, especially among teenagers.

    Fans in the media also have more doubts about her. Regardless of whether it is nepotism or not, there is a real question of how Emma in "Mermaid" can play "Bethany".

    Recently, "Soul Surfer" released the first batch of working photos and stills on the set, many of which were directed by Ye Wei and Emma. Both of them looked serious, and the domestic violence incident really did not affect their cooperation.  The stitches on the wound on his eyebrow had long been removed and were not disfigured.

    Entertainment gossip media continues to pay attention to Ye Wei¡¯s private life. Just a few days after the Oscars, there are new scandals!

    ¡­¡­

    On Sunday, March 5, the 78th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.  The night before, Ye Wei had already taken a plane back to Los Angeles.

    For this year¡¯s Oscar red carpet, the media and public have a hot topic. Who will be viy¡¯s female companion?

    Amy Rosen?  Doutzen-Klos?  Amber Heard?  Anastasia Ashley?  His other rumored girlfriend?

    Or a "good friend", a girl with whom you cooperate?  Emma Roberts?  Elizabeth Olsen?  Jennifer Lawrence?  Maudie Symington?  ¡­

    The red carpet in front of the Kodak Theater was extremely lively that day, and the bright stars shone in this small place that attracts global attention!

    Countless celebrities appeared, and the female guests competed for their beauty. Keira Knightley in a purple taffeta dress, Naomi Watts in an ivory tulle evening dress, and first-hand goods  Reese Witherspoon in double-layer chiffon tulle dress with silver rose embroidery

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the middle of the red carpet show, everyone welcomed the genius bad boy Ye Wei. The answer is that he came alone.

    Click click click!  When Ye Wei, who was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and no tie, walked across the red carpet, it brought a storm of youth. Reporters clicked their cameras frantically, and the lucky spectators in the stands shouted. Ye Wei smiled at everyone.  Salute.

    Afterwards, a middle-aged female reporter from the ABC channel interviewed Ye Wei and asked about his mood. Tens of millions of American viewers saw the youngest Best Director nominee say: "I'm very happy to be here.  Very dreamy, thank you all.¡±

    Asked if he had any idea of ??winning a prize, Ye Wei said: "No, it won't be me. I'm here to get a big gift package."

    Asked how he came alone, Ye Wei said: "Except for multiple births, people come into the world alone and naked, so we see that today ladies wear very little fabric. This is a natural  A manifestation of nature, liveliness, strength, intense and pure beauty.

    And the men all look like clothes sellersseriously, who cares what the men are wearing or whether they are wearing them?  No one.  In fact, the most serious shirt-matching incident occurs every year at the Oscars. We are all Agent Smith!  But no one cares.  "

    In this way, viy¡¯s serious humor became a classic moment on this red carpet, and these words were quoted repeatedly by the media.

     ¡­

    The theater¡¯s more than 3,300 seats were fully occupied!  The awards ceremony kicked off with warm applause from the guests. Under the auspices of host Jon Stewart, hundreds of millions of viewers around the world watched this movie event live or broadcast.

    Jon Stewart¡¯s performance lived up to expectations, 3 hours and 34 minutes, with a lot of humorous quotes.

    The stars he teased the most were Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Neither of them were present, but Jennifer Aniston was the award guest. The feud between the three people started from the release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" last year.  Since then, it has become one of the major Hollywood gossips.

    The second most popular person is Ye Wei. His recent exciting private life is also a new pillar of the gossip media.

    At the beginning, Jon joked about the talent in the spotlight: "This year we will introduce the award presenters in order of talent. If Ye Wei does not attend the awards, I cannot let him steal my limelight and position.", "Listen.  It¡¯s said that there will be a secret party after the Oscars. Ye Wei is not old enough to go. Ladies and gentlemen, be careful!¡±

    All the guests burst into laughter. The live camera was focused on Ye Wei, and he blinked his left eye with excitement.

    With high popularity among the young audience, full of topics in the media, 6 nominations as the creator of "Little Miss Sunshine", the youngest, etc., this ceremony focused on Ye Wei, not counting related awards and being teased by the host.  He also made several appearances in the show.

    This year¡¯s Oscars are almost following the expected track of the awards season.

    "Little Miss Sunshine" won two awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor.

    Amid the enthusiastic applause of the audience, Michael Arndt came on stage to receive the award. This legendary script was finally crowned an Oscar. He thanked many people, including Ye Wei and the Harvard-Westlake students, saying, "Your actions explain the  The great spirit of this script.¡±

    When Alan Arkin accepted the award, the theater was filled with excitement as if he was awarding the best picture. The old man held the Oscar trophy he had won after more than 40 years of filmmaking and gave a touching speech. He thanked Ye Weishi again and said, "  Wei Ge, you made an old man¡¯s dream come true, thank you!¡±

    "Oliver" Abigail Breslin did not win Best Supporting Actress, the winner was Rachel Weisz for "The Everlasting Gardener".  The best actor and best actress undoubtedly belong to Philip Seymour Hoffman of "Capote" and Reese Witherspoon of "Singing Along".

    "Brokeback Mountain", which was nominated for 8 awards, won Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director.

    Ang Lee became the first Chinese to win the Oscar for Best Director, thus rewriting history.  After losing to the prodigy Soderbergh in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he experienced the setback in "The Incredible Hulk" and bounced back to a new peak in life!

    Ang Lee walked to the podium with great enthusiasm from the audience. He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly. He first thanked the screenwriter and the two protagonists in the film, "Brokeback Mountain is not just about gay men or women.  The story of time expresses a broad sense of love.¡±

    After thanking the academy and colleagues, he added: "Thank you to my wife and my sons, I love you! During the filming, I felt that you were with me every day. My father had just passed away at that time, so  I give this movie to him. Finally, I would like to thank my mother and family, as well as my compatriots in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. (Chinese) Thank you for your concern!¡±

    In the split-screen shot of the previous award ceremony, the five nominated directors had different expressions. When the award guest on the stage, Tom Hanks, read out "Ang Lee":

    Ye Wei, who was so young and handsome that it looked like this was the Teen Choice Award, stood up and applauded ecstatically, as if he had won the award; Spielberg and Paul Haggis both laughed and clapped; but George Clooney's depression was clearly visible on his face  Go on, he's going home empty-handed.

    Throughout the awards season, Clooney has shown obvious dissatisfaction with Ang Lee. Who cares what he thinks? "Good Night and Good Luck" received 0 awards among 6 nominations.

    But "Brokeback Mountain" did not return with a big victory. The winner of the 78th Oscar for Best Picture can be said to have surprised the whole world.

    ""Crash."" Jack Nicholson looked at the envelope and read out the result, and the Kodak Theater was filled with excitement!  !  !

    "Brokeback Mountain", which has been making a killing during the awards season, did not win the award. It was not "Little Miss Sunshine" or "Munich Massacre", but "Crash"!

    The guests in the "Crash" camp were in ecstasy. Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon couldn't believe their ears!  The media reporters backstage also went crazy, it was a huge upset!  The whole place went crazy, and viewers around the world watched as producers Paul Haggis and Cathy Shulman accepted the award with great excitement.

    Schulman said happily: "Thank you everyone for your support for this movie.??Çà, a film about love, tolerance and truth.  We're humbled by the other nominees who made this one of the most exciting, exciting and unique years for American cinema.  Thank you all!  "

    Whether accidental or not, accept it or not, the two awards for Best Editing and Best Picture belong to "Crash"!

    An extraordinary victory for independent cinema, an extraordinary victory for Lionsgate!

    The public relations history of the Oscars has been rewritten again, and the rules of the game have also been changed.  Lionsgate took the trick of preview film DVDs to the extreme and did not spend money on media promotion. During the awards season, Lionsgate distributed more than 160,000 "for reference only" DVDs of "Crash" to people in all aspects of Hollywood.  On the film, a shocking reversal was achieved.

    "Brokeback Mountain" spent more than 10 million U.S. dollars on public relations, but it failed to win by surprise.  "Little Miss Sunshine" did not add additional public relations fees after being nominated, and spent a total of about 5 million. The amount Lionsgate spent has not yet been announced, but it can't be done without 8 million.

    It¡¯s really another strange case at the Oscars. Apart from public relations reasons, the reasons for the upset such as ¡°Brokeback Mountain¡±¡¯s sensitive subject matter, ¡°Crash¡± being more politically correct and close to Los Angeles, have all been mentioned by the media.

    This night, Ye Wei never went on stage, but just sat down, stood up, applauded, and cheered.

    Despite this, after this Oscar appearance, viy¡¯s national and global popularity will inevitably reach a new level.  Hundreds of millions of viewers have seen this handsome 18-year-old genius, and countless girls have become his fans since then.

    Why do you need to be so talented when you can obviously rely on your appearance to make a living?

    Amid the warm applause of the guests, Jon Stewart shouted "Thank you for watching!" to the audience. This awards ceremony came to an end, and Oscar night has just begun.
