- Hollywood is a place where no one can have trouble with geniuses, unless they don't want to be around anymore.
In 1973, George Lucas' "American Graffiti" took in a global box office of 140 million with a budget of 777,000, bringing a profit of 52 million to Universal Pictures. This astonishing rate of return was not broken until 1999 by "Blair Witch." At that time, Lucas, a 29-year-old talented filmmaker, was ambitious to launch his new project, thinking that Universal would provide him with 100% of the funds and everything he asked for without hesitation. However, the Universal Box Office told him, "Your new project will It's box office poison, and this is statistically analyzed." Universal didn't give him a penny. Later, 20th Century Fox invested in this science fiction project with a budget of 13 million (it almost withdrew the investment before filming started), "Star Wars".
This kind of childish and heinous mistake happens every day in Hollywood.
Although the organizer of the Oscars is called the "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences," in fact film art and science are almost the opposite of each other.
In order to avoid mistakes as much as possible, there is an industry creed: "Don't try to understand or question geniuses, satisfy them."
Jon Fehrheimer was not surprised at all when he received a notification call from Ye Wei on Friday night. If viy didn't respond to this, would it still be viy?
Lionsgate chose to invest in viy. It should be said that once anyone in the industry cooperates with him, his personality has already been included in the evaluation. Two years ago, Ye Wei said, "I want to make a quarrel with the film critics." Some people would be surprised, but now it is a matter of course.
It¡¯s really just a notification, not a discussion.
There have been two waves of talent emerging in the history of American film, one starting in the 1930s and the other starting in the 1970s. Coppola, Scorsese, Spielberg, Lucas, Zemeckis, De- Palma, Malick, John Hughes, Woody Allen, Hal Ashby, Bob Rafelsonthese movie boys who changed movies and Hollywood are also known as "auteur directors" ¡± (Directors whose works highly reflect their personal will, usually as screenwriters and producers).
Ye Wei is a genius and an author-director. Anyone who opposes him will do his own harm. As long as he maintains a successful return on investment, he can basically do whatever he wants. Hollywood is a lunatic asylum for a bunch of lunatics. How can you expect lunatics not to do anything?
He is a genius, a madman and a big shot. Many people and money enter the film industry just to get to know the most unique, interesting and charming people in the world.
Jon knows countless mortals and geniuses in this industry, how would he describe Ye Wei? Everyone has their own way of speaking. Not everyone has Ye Wei's way of speaking. Half of his words are smart, wise, confident and philosophical, making people admire him unconsciously. The other half of his words are humorous and friendly, just like a Old friends make people lose their guard unknowingly and tell them a lot about themselves, but he may not have said a word about him.
Jon remembered that he knew two or three people who could talk like this, Warren Beatty and John Travolta. These people were probably the funniest and least celebrity-like superstars he had ever seen, and they were all in Cognition in limited off-work contacts. You know why these libertines have no trouble picking up girls. Even an old man like him is convinced by his charm. How can a woman resist?
Ye Wei also has another way of speaking, very strong words that seem to say, "You don't understand, I don't want to explain to you, just watch and you will understand." At this time, Jon would think Up "Oh, yeah, he's a genius."
"Weige, you are making trouble." Jon replied, even if he said no, he would still be convinced in the end.
He is concerned about whether the film can make money. From this perspective, it is better to support viy.
Because SS's general audience evaluation response ensures that Ye Wei is not unreasonably making troubles, and there will be public opinion to support him to fight against the voices that criticize him. If he does not make trouble, it is a failure. If he makes trouble, it will at least be controversial, and it will win public attention, and even change over time. Bad movies turned into classics. Probably this is what Ye Wei thinks.
Regarding the impact of film reviews on a movie¡¯s box office performance, Hollywood has always been evaluating it. As early as the 1980s, survey data from many companies showed that the answer is "almost no impact." Compared with schedule, publicity, theme, cast, etc., the impact of film reviews is the weakest, and it is not as good as the weather on the first weekend.
One of the main reasons is that since the 1980s, film critics have gradually become rampant. From every city to every small town, it has its own local film critics. The larger the group, the lower the average level and the more commercial practices. , the influence will become smaller and smaller.
In the late 1980s, people began to say that "film criticism is dead", and now, the Internet has made film critics even more prevalent.
When Qiaoen heard that Ye Wei said that he wanted to write an article about this and publish it, Ye Wei said with a smile: "I know that scolding these people won't kill them. No one can. They will just continue to live well. But I still want to scold them." This is of course,The film critic world has its own status and role in the industry. Regardless of whether it affects the box office or not, it does not hinder its operation.
In fact, it is not that it has no impact, but it does not occur in blockbusters and commercial genre films, but in art films and niche films.
The greatest responsibility of film critics is to use the publicity channel of film criticism to help audiences find, appreciate and support niche art films, so that they can be separated from Hollywood commercial films and keep them connected with independent filmmakers. This is how classics come to be.
This "audience" refers to art theater audiences, because the vast majority of ordinary audiences/non-movie fans do not read movie reviews to choose movies, and they do not go out of their way to evaluate a certain movie after watching it, so they do not care about these things. It is usually intellectuals and potential intellectuals who care about film reviews, and they trust film critics from mainstream print media. These film critics themselves tend to write for them, and have higher standards and professional ethics, and they also have to worry about reputation.
A good review in the New York Times can double the box office of a foreign film on a small opening weekend, and the difference between opening 100,000 and 200,000 is huge.
How did "Wedding Day" soar to the sky two years ago? It is a good movie in itself. It was praised by film critics headed by Roger Ebert as the funniest spoof movie in history. It aroused the interest of a large number of audiences. The average box office per theater in the first two weeks was frighteningly high, with another 16 The audience's enthusiasm was aroused by the topic of young geniuses.
"The Exorcism Video" also benefited from critical acclaim. If there were no thumbs up in the advertisement, the effect might be much worse. If "Little Miss Sunshine" is not nearly 100% fresh, Ye Wei may still become the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Director, but it will certainly not be unstoppable.
So the media often say that viy is the darling of the film critics, they are in the same group, and now they suddenly fall out.
What Ye Wei wants to scold is not small-town film critics or online film critics, but these people, well-known and influential film critics.
Although the commotion was beneficial to SS, in order to express intimacy, Jon still reminded: "Some film critics gave the film good reviews and praised you very much. Don't hurt them by mistake, haha. You have a good relationship with the film critics." Relationships are as long as they can be maintained.¡±
"I am a film critic myself, how can I hate everyone?" Ye Wei laughed a few times, "Man, I'm angry but I'm not crazy, I just want to have some opinions."
No matter what, Jon can¡¯t control it.
??The evaluation of film critics can be the icing on the cake or add insult to injury. It may suddenly play an unpredictable role at some point. It is an uncontrollable

After receiving the notification call that Ye Wei was going to make a big fuss, Julia Roberts said in her heart, "Sure enough," when she saw the shocking 35% freshness, she knew it would be like this. With Ye Wei's arrogance and arrogance, he dared to say "I will never apologize for this" even when he has some minor achievements. Now he is being criticized by film critics for the first time in his life, and he will definitely die standing up.
What she didn¡¯t expect was this situation. She thought it was going to be a big success, and the movie was just a movie.
¡°Don¡¯t drag Emma into this, that¡¯s my only request.¡±
"But Emma wants me to drag her into it."
"Don't listen to her!"
"Okay, okay. Julia, when this movie thing is all over, I won't owe you anything, and I won't listen to you anymore. Maybe we can have a cup of coffee one afternoon and talk about the movie. Now seriously That¡¯s it, bye.¡±
"You bastard, why don't you tell me your plan?"
"No, just leave it as a surprise, you will see."
Roberts was really annoyed when he hung up the phone. This brat has grown strong wings. He dares to be big or small. I am still a member of the 20 million salary club!
Knowing that Molly Ringwald is her mortal enemy, she even mentioned her and Ringwald together in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Roberts has always been unhappy with Ringwald. Back in the late 1980s, when everyone was in their early 20s, Ringwald, who was 4 months younger than her, was the queen of youth campus movies, and she was just a budding star. It was like this at that time. Ringwald could play the heroine of any movie. Only if she didn't play the role would someone else have the chance. Ringwald is the kind of person who "pursues art" and doesn't want to play pretty girls anymore. She has been offered roles in films including "Pretty Woman" and "The Last Love", and she wants to play everything she can.
Because Ringwald didn't act, she became famous in "Pretty Woman" and Demi Moore became famous in "The Last Days". And Ringwald went to Europe to pursue art. In the end, not to mention superstars, even celebrities No, the housewife is in a state of half-life, although she is still there now. She has always been America's sweetheart, and she has been said all day long by the outside world, "If it weren't for"If Ward doesn't want it, there's no point in it for Roberts", "Lingward is much better than Roberts", "Roberts doesn't understand art" She is really fed up with any comparison between them.
When you¡¯re a movie star, it¡¯s not just movie reviews that are annoying.
She didn¡¯t know whether Ye Wei did it on purpose, but this guy had already violated her taboo. It's easy to say that ss's box office success is anything but if it fails at the box office, she won't just give up. She didn't agree with Emma playing Bethany from the beginning. Let's play it. SS He was messing around during the entire production period. This was far from what was originally agreed upon.
As long as it is successful at the box office, Ye Wei's troubles are all to increase Emma's reputation, and any trouble he gets into will be his fault. Of course, it would be a good thing if the brat wins the fight, it is a victory for their small group, but he lacks some lessons
Roberts has mixed emotions.

On the evening of Friday the 13th, Liz received a group text message from Ye Wei: "My friends, who let the dog out? Ho ho ho, the SS film critic's counterattack has begun!" Guess it! She excitedly went online to check out his blog as fast as she could. When she saw the "Two Laughing Words" he posted in Springfield in the early morning of the 14th, she burst into laughter.
"Oh, yeah" is like "Oh, right" and also like calling him "Oh, Ye". "What" means surprise. Is it good or bad to be surprised? This movie review is "awesome". The second joke is also easy to understand. He is scolded by his wife all day long. The question is who is the mother of his child? Wait a minutethis is also a point of laughter!
The-death-of-film-cisticism?
It sounds very serious.
