- Ye Wei plans not to attend the premiere of "Soul Surfer"!
On Saturday afternoon, Julia Roberts received the breaking news.
She also had mixed emotions about the disastrous defeat of "Carrie", and there was no room left for the defeat. Although Ye Wei did not participate much, it seemed to be a sign. SS, which was produced earlier than "Carrie", had always been controversial. At that time, Ye Wei was very crazy. He was having fun, causing trouble, and fighting in Hawaii
It is impossible to say that 18-year-old Viy has done her best, but it is not uncommon for talented people to be ruined by fame and fortune. Moreover, even Spielberg has been in this situation, and she has been lost for a period of time or even many years. , she was afraid that SS would happen to hit Ye Wei's lost stage.
Like many in the media and people, Roberts now has more doubts about SS, even though she has seen it and felt good about it, and the response to the critic screenings was hidden in a fog of confusion.
She originally wanted to talk to Ye Wei in person after the ss premiere tomorrow, but the news said that he would not return to Los Angeles because he "had to go to Toronto for location scouting for W'sb." Really! ? Obviously he was looking for Nina Dobrev. There was no need for a director in the early stage scouting, and there was no need to rush on the day of the premiere.
Roberts didn¡¯t want to care about other people¡¯s private lives, but this premiere was the final destination of the gift she gave Emma. After that, the movie theater would decide the results, but Ye Wei couldn¡¯t be the final destination. She called him immediately to talk about it.
"Weige, you must attend, we agreed."
"We didn't agree that I was going to be beaten by Emma."
"You stinky boy"
"Just kidding, Julia." Ye Wei laughed, "But I really can't attend. I have to go to Toronto, and I will go too."
Roberts knew she couldn't persuade him, so she changed her strategy and asked: "What do you think of SS?" She had asked this before when she watched the internal premiere at Lions Gate. At that time, Ye Wei answered calmly, "Yes, it's a lot of fun." ." She wanted to make sure first.
Ye Wei was silent for a few moments, "Well you know, to be honest, as a creator, I have my blind spots. Sometimes I am a little biased and blindly optimistic. I think it is a good movie. As for how far it can go, I don't know. Not allowed."
His conservatism made Roberts feel even more complicated. This kid did not achieve his current achievements by relying on "I can't tell", but viy's absolute confidence and successful fulfillment. What he said means that in his opinion, there is something wrong with SS.
"Weige, Emma's current career development is not going well." Roberts sighed. "This year's "Mermaid" failed, and next year's "Nancy Drew" is not good. This movie in the middle is too important to her. , if it also fails, then" The only consequence that will happen is that Emma's star luck will be worrying.
"It will be fine, she will be fine." Ye Wei said.
Of course Roberts hopes that viy will still be viy, but the fact is that he has even pushed his precious Nina Dobrev to failure. His star-making ability is like a bubble, which looks good but seems to burst at any time. She has always disliked Emma playing a one-armed sports girl. If SS messes up
She knew that Ye Wei had been under a lot of new pressure recently, but she still wanted to hit him: "Emma works really hard, likes you very much, trusts you, and regards you as an idol. Wei Ge, I can't imagine what it would be like because of How bad is it that your frivolity has ruined Emma's future?"
"No, Emma is so magical." Ye Wei's voice became more serious, ""Soul Surfer" is different from "Carrie".
Roberts also knows the difference, and is inclined to believe that it is not the fault of the genius, he still has his genius magic.

When Nina returned home from Cliff Park, Ye Wei had already gone to the airport. Sissi was still in a state of excitement and jumped around her and screamed for a while, as if to say, "He was here, my bastard dad, He has been here! "Okay, okay, Gu Qianqian, I know.
She went back to the bedroom and turned on her computer. She looked up the meaning of some words online for this letter, and then she read the letter completely. Well, a genius is a genius
"It's not that it's bad to blame Kimberly. If "Carrie" was shot by Ye Wei, it would definitely be very different.
Nina read the letter again and smiled.
¡¾Dear Nina
When you think of the ¡°Carrie¡± in your school class, who do you think of first?
I think what most people think of is a quiet, introverted, thin, and a little weird girl. She sits at the back or by the wall or in the corner. No one cares about her, except when they bully her.
Bullying is not an extreme situation like pig blood in a drama, including but not equal to, usually verbal attacks, petty teasing, and participating in group teasing when she makes a fool of herself.
I don¡¯t want to talk about my history of bullying, I¡¯m going to tell you about my history of bullying. Everyone thinks I don't bully others, but that's not true. When I first entered kindergarten, I once laughed at another fat girl I just met with a beautiful girl I just met. We kept calling her fat and pathetic, and she cried. Then the beautiful girl and I laughed together as if we had done something great. Some bystanders also laughed, some said we were wrong, and we were all very proud of it.
How abominable, we didn¡¯t receive any punishment, just an education, while the fat girl got a comfort.
God knows what I was thinking at that time. It was probably that I wanted to stand out in a new environment and new group, announce my existence to other children, and also to please that beautiful girl, show her how powerful I was, and also to show my strength to her. Others show she is mine. That girl did get along with me for a while, but I soon discovered that her shallowness stemmed from my uneasy conscience. I knew it was wrong, especially when I became friends with that fat girl.
Because I had an uneasy conscience, I often talked to her and we became friends. She is not a typical Carrie, she is the kind of person who is a little noisy and everyone's happy. I discovered her kindness and cheerfulness, and learned that she actually cares about and doesn't like anyone making fun of her.
The more I discovered, the more I realized how wrong I was. To this day, I can still clearly recall the scene of me bullying that beautiful girl together, and what we probably said. That was the only intentional bullying that I remember, and the trash-talking and fights between boys on the court, I don¡¯t think that counts; as for unintentional bullying, I think I have definitely had it, and there will be no less, but I don¡¯t Know.
That bullying changed me, and I gradually began to like making friends with those people who were called freaks, idiots, and bullied people, like Lev, like Noah, you know many of my good friends. Because I know how kind these people are, how sincere they will be when making friends with them, and how much they need the sincerity of others. The strange thing is that I never made a sincere formal apology to the fat girl. We went to different middle schools and never saw each other again.
Not everyone will be as enlightened as me. Nine times out of ten bullies will remain bullies, bullying honest people from kindergarten to high school and beyond. As Carrie grew up, they were increasingly unable to stay in school for even a second. It was almost a hell.
Everyone knows that's bad, but those kids and teenagers don't care and let their evil, competitive nature, exhibitionism, stupidity, and hormones run wild without ever thinking too much about what their words and actions to others will do to others. The impact may be indelible spiritual damage.
"Can you blame me?", "Why didn't you say it?", "Who knew you were so fragile", "Hahaha!" Bullies always have many reasons, and some are just unrepentant, and those are called bad people. Their naivety and ignorance can be forgiven, but their arrogance and cruelty are truly unforgivable evil deeds.
Some people say that if young people make mistakes, God will forgive them. God can forgive them, forgive me, not Carrie.
I know many Carries. There are typical ones, and there are more atypical ones. Some Carries are very fierce and can explode at any time. Don¡¯t think that no one can bully her. That¡¯s what she uses to protect herself. Means; some Carries are very funny, and being laughed at by others makes them less embarrassed when they become clowns; some Carries are like invisible people, no one bullies her, but no one cares about her, and no one even knows her name. , that itself is a kind of cruel group bullying.
School is a beautiful battlefield. Everyone is divided into categories, competes in his own circle, survives as a whole, and expresses and protects himself in various ways. Sometimes the spotlight is on you, sometimes you lick your wounds in the dark.
The old version of "Carrie" presents the type of Carrie we are most familiar with and the most overtly bullied type. It is also the traditional Carrie of the 1970s. Nowadays, there may not be many Carries like that, and there are more types of Carries who look cheerful and normal but are a little bit "special". The positioning of the new version of "Carrie" is the latter, a new Carrie, a microcosm of this group of people. The bullying suffered by the new Carrie may not be as obvious, but the psychological trauma she suffered is no less than that of the old Carrie.
Nina, your Carrie is very good, because you have actually performed the new Carrie's face and charm excellently with your creativity, observation and emotion.
It's a pity that the new version of "Carrie" made a huge mistake. It had the courage to revolutionize people's understanding of Carrie, Carrie's mother, school bullying, etc., but it was unable to do a good job. In the end, it could only hastily imitate the old version. , nothing. I mean the team behind the scenes, especially Kimberly Pierce.
I really have wrongly high expectations for Kimberly. It should be said that she has already proved who she is with "Boys Don't Cry".??She is excellent at exploring the psychology of characters and creating atmosphere. She is very suitable for telling this story, so she got the director's microphone. I kept reminding her that this is a horror film, and it must create a depressing atmosphere. Everything else comes later. This is a premise. Kimberly agreed with me, but it didn't happen.
Originally, I thought I could see a kind-hearted, strong-willed Carrie with her passion and beauty. However, the problems of a single-parent family and the constant overt and invisible bullying in school caused progressive damage to her. , everyone did not expect that this little girl who was not even a pitiful creature or a public laughing stock had been hurt to the point of going crazy, and she finally broke out after a prank at the graduation prom.
At that time, the killings of the old Carrie were taken for granted, and people inside and outside the movie would understand them; and I imagine that the killings of the new Carrie were unexpected, and people in the movie didn't understand it, but the audience understood it, just like many campuses. The shooting seemed so sudden and unreasonable at first glance. "No one thought he would do this. He is a good boy." In fact, everything has a cause and effect. Think about it, have you ever participated in a group laugh at someone? You didn't mean any harm, that person was hurt, don't do that.
In order to have a big explosion in the ball scene, all the preparations need to be done. Carrie's pain and the badness of the bad guys must be deeply portrayed. If the audience doesn't forgive them, that won't work. It's just a happy revenge, but there's nothing happy about campus killings; the audience's emotions need to be between forgiveness and unforgiveness, between being a substitute for Carrie and not being a substitute, like watching and watching. Like killing with your own hands, good guys and bad guys dying together, everything is a horrific tragedy, which will completely chill, heartache, heartbreak, and tremble all over.
The old version did it, perfectly. Brian De Palma is a master. His use of camera, rhythm of editing, background of the soundtrack, etc. are bold, crazy and just right. Kimberly can't compare to them all. It¡¯s not that there¡¯s no chance of being equal or even better, because we have the advantage of special effects, but unfortunately what we have now are just mediocre sci-fi action scenes that lack the power of terror.
The biggest problem is that it lacks the emotion of terror. The new version is not intended to make any emotional changes. All horror stories have the same emotion, fear, and all fear is born of powerlessness. "Carrie" is about the fear of unavoidable tragedy. As long as it is a horror film, no matter how it is shot, it must take its own path to this situation.
But it didn¡¯t happen. Why not?
One of the reasons is that the characters in the old version were all complex, more or less, good people with bad parts, bad people with good parts, in the middle of a story that could be saved into a happy story, like I used to bully others, but I am not a heinous bad person, I am ignorant, I can change for the better, and the bully and the bullied can be friends. The old version first gave the audience such hope, which was already being realized. Everyone was cheering and applauding Carrie, and then carried out complete destruction, dripping with pig blood.
The new version, however, treats good and evil clearly, and therefore lacks credibility. Those are not real people, and no one has only one side, especially young people who are not mature mentally. When good and evil are clear, the audience won't have that entangled emotion. When a good guy dies, they say, "Oh, no," and when a bad guy dies, they say, "Oh, okay." There's nothing scary about it, just some sense of humor. Another big reason is that the atmosphere of the film is not implemented at all. It only has the brightness and gentleness of some youth campus movies, but it is pushed to the dance scene without any emotional impact, which makes the audience neither nervous nor understanding. Carrie, as many people complain, the new Carrie's outbursts are sudden fits of rage.
It¡¯s not that you haven¡¯t performed well. To do these things well, performance is the last step. First of all, the script must be completed. I was not satisfied with the script at first, but because my power was limited and I was very weird at the time, I let it go. There was room for it to be good, but Kimberly failed. Half the responsibility lies with her, and the other half lies with the office that dictated to her.
How much responsibility do the actors have for this failure? Hardly. This is not something that the actors can control, influence or decide, you are just being dragged along.
This can be the fault of any creator, but not the actors. Nina, especially you, you acted very well, much better than you did in "The Exorcism Video", but your brilliance never got a chance to bloom in this movie, and instead became invisible in the eyes of those who didn't know the inside story. Inexplicable.
Think about it, what a pity. If it had been made well, the new version of "Carrie" would not be mediocre, let alone whether it could surpass the old version. It would tell this horror story from another direction, improve and update "Carrie" "The other side. To be honest, I regret it. I should have been the producer and the results might have been better.
It¡¯s too late to say anything now, the mistake has been made, and we can only swallow this bitter pill.
Nina, I haven't been to the premiere of "Carrie" before. This isOne of my latest instances of unintentional bullying, I had no idea it would hurt you, otherwise how could I not be there? sorry. I have my stupidities, this is one of them.
Many times bullying does not stem from hatred, but from indifference.
I know you must be suffering from this failure now. Are you indifferent? I can't do it. So I wrote this letter, and I came to Toronto. I want to tell you clearly, don¡¯t blame and hate yourself. Those cynicism about your Carrie are basically calling the wrong people, and many of them are out of malice. Don¡¯t Go care, don't let them bully you.
Others were well-intentioned disappointments, including the mean-spirited Roger Ebert, who wrote his review of the film after watching it in his hospital bed. He was just disappointed. I know it's hard to let others down, Nina, I'm hurting too! I never like failure, but I'm not afraid of failure, just a little bit, as you said, it's just human nature.
We once experienced the joy of success of "The Exorcism Video" together, and now we experience the bitterness of failure of "Carrie" together. We will have success and failure again and again in the future. What's the big deal? No big deal.
Yes, sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail, no matter what, life always moves forward.
As long as you believe and work hard, everything will be fine.
Your good friend, Ye Wei]

"After the movie started, I quickly lost my patience with the boring old story. Nina Dobrev's poor performance made Carrie look like a colorful waste. I started tapping my feet impatiently, looking forward to the decisive moment. The moment for the dance scene arrived but when that moment arrived I was completely disappointed with the movie and this remake was really unnecessary.¡± 1 star, shane-k.
"While Julianne Moore and some of the other young actors gave their best performances, it was still a soulless, meaningless performance. The new version of 'Carrie' has good intentions but is full of mistakes, the worst of which is an attempt to imitate Great Brian De Palma version. I loved Nina Dobrev in The Exorcist, she was ridiculous this time, what the hell was that dance scene? "2 stars, lauren-g
"What I love about Stephen King stories is the deep unease rather than the thrilling action. Unfortunately 'Carrie' is no longer scary. Not only is it dated, it's also too familiar to me. Nothing about it happened on screen and I was unimpressed except that Julianne Moore was scary and there was nothing scary about it and Sissy Spacek was the better Carrie." 2 stars, darryl-s.
"For the sake of environmental protection in the world, please stop remaking the incomparable "Carrie"! We don't need such a big piece of fresh garbage." 1 star, ch day s-m - Didn't finish reading?
