When the week from 10th to 16th came to an end, tlb was crowned the weekly champion without any suspense after winning the weekend box office championship!
This is Ye Wei's fifth weekly championship. Tet, LMS, SS and TLB have four consecutive films with the title of "North American Box Office Weekly Champion", a report card for the new generation of hegemony.
"We are confident that we will see it break over 100 million at the box office." Paramount distribution manager Jim Tharp said, "It has a perfect data support. This is a serious movie, but the audience is fascinated." In addition to the excellent To evaluate the reputation, Paramount's end-of-show survey showed that 52% of the audience was under 25 years old and 53% of the audience was female, which is even enough.
This result was expected by media fans. Compared with the opening of 102 million yuan/217 million North America/758 million global results of the movie version of another super best-seller "The Da Vinci Code" in May this year, tlb's first week The box office is considered small, but this is also due to the differences in story, type, investment, etc.
This achievement is just a natural result of successful tlb. There is no failure, but it is not an explosion, which makes some fans a little disappointed.
But excluding all the producers and distributors, how difficult it is to successfully film a hot potato like tlb! It made Spielberg stop interested! Insiders all know that the "confidence" of Paramount President Gail Berman and others is transformed from anxiety. If it fails, Ye Wei will be operated on immediately. Now everyone is finally happy.
Whether you smile or cry, we can make a lot of money together!
The production fee of 25 million exceeded 50 million in the first week, and it is certain to exceed 100 million. It is also heading into the awards season with its head high. This is Paramount's most prestigious movie so far this year.
"It's impossible not to notice tlb." Fox distribution manager Bruce Snyder said, "But it will not affect the growth of 'Borat'. The two are completely different genres and we can make it available to every audience." Have a good laugh.¡±
And Chuck Wayne, the distribution manager of Buenais, said: "After you watch tlb, watching "The Santa Clause 3" will be a good digestion."
Ye Wei, who is also the director and director of TLB, said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "Our production cycle is not only three or four months, and the years of research on the project cannot be ignored. Someone proposed a plan, and after calculation, it inspired Another person makes new ideas, then extrapolates, and then comes up with new ideas It can be said that I stand on the shoulders of many filmmakers. Without that kind of brainstorming, it is difficult to hit a home run.
The success of tlb is bound to continue to increase the popularity of adaptations of best-selling books, and there will be more such movies on the market in the next few years. But most of them lack the foundation for success. The rushed production process will be the main reason for the failure of some projects. However, some projects only have the opportunity to be shot thanks to the trend craze. Time can make them do better, or they can fail. . It's a clich¨¦ that the producers will make it, and the audience will have to see some flops. "
Of course! According to industry sources, Alice Sebold's unpublished new book "Almost Perfect Moon" and her husband Glenn David Gold's fantasy novel "Carter Defeats the Devil" are already being targeted by film producers. superior. Now looking back at the fact that Siebold handed over the adaptation rights of TLB to Ye Wei, people who had doubted it at the beginning have changed their minds and praised her for her good vision.
This is also a win-win situation. The film critics' praise is not enough, but the solid box office results have made Ye Wei's net worth soar, and he has jumped from a new star director to a great director.
??Looking at this week¡¯s box office rankings, there are three movies in the list, two of which are the main creators and one of the planners of viy. Two of the top ten movies are on the list. It¡¯s really a rare spectacle, and it really makes movie fans scream!
When was the last time? Among the most successful directors, it is not uncommon to have two large-scale releases within a year, but usually half a year apart, and the closer they are, the fewer. Tony Scott's "Revenge" and "Thunder" in the 1990s "Top Ambition", Jay Roach's "Austin Powers 2" and "Soul" in 1999, all four months.
Richard Donner's "Big Sky" and "Lethal Weapon 3" were three months apart in 1992, and his "Legend of the Eagle and Wolf" (4/12/85) and "The Goonies" (6/7/85 ), two months; Tim Burton, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (7/15/05) and "Corpse Bride" (905), two months.
There are also Clint Eastwood's twin movies "Flags of Our Fathers" (10/20/06) and "Letters from Iwo Jima" (12/20/06) this year, which are also two months old.
Ye Wei¡¯s 10/13/06 and 11/10/06 were less than a month apart. Two movies were in the top ten at the same time. This was the first time in decades.
Different from Donner's two adventure films, Burton's two "Burton-style" gothic films, and Eastwood's two World War II films, although the three viy films all have girls as heroines, they are plot/horror and plot respectively. /Sports/Family, Drama/Thriller/Family, different genres, different styles, different market positionings, watching three movies in one night will not feel the same.
Want to read horror stories about young beautiful girls? Go watch Nina Dobrev's "Carrie." Want to read the story of a beautiful young girl who breaks her bones and gives birth to new ones? Watch Emma Roberts' "Soul Surfer". Want to read the story of a beautiful young girl who breaks her bones and gives birth to new ones? Watch Elizabeth Olsen's "The Lovely Bones."
??Want to read a story about a tough teenage girl? Wait until December 15th to watch "Winter's Bone".

"Weige, today's audition went very well. I have decided on the candidate for 'Juno'."
"How about it?"
"Ellen Page. She's so suitable. Cody also said that she almost saw the Juno she imagined. Olsen and Lawrence are both very good, but they are both too tall and their pregnancy looks don't look like the little girl I want. I can¡¯t play Juno with the look of a big belly.¡±
"Ohok! Peggy is indeed good. I have seen her "Fruit Candy" and it really shocked me. There will be no problem with her performance."
"This is what I think. The audition video has been sent to you. Take a look at it when you have time and give me some ideas for Leah."
"Don't look at it, Jason, you should also know that if it is another style, Jennifer Lawrence can play Juno, but she can't play Leah anyway, she is not that type. Liz look at Al How about Sen?"
"Very good! Olsen has that kind of temperament, elegant and bookish, but not to the level of a famous daughter. She is also smart and individual, but unlike Peggy, she has no girlish posture, and she is not one of those sexy queens. She plays Leah very well. Suitable! She and Peggy look good together. But Weige, is Olsen willing to play a supporting role?¡±
¡°No problem, she¡¯s not a Hollywood animal, not yet.¡±

"Ye Wei did not film paradise into the free world described in the original work. This heartbreaking story is perfectly controlled, and the two worlds are united by emotion. What is the core of the story? The pain of bereavement is finally healed by time , life goes on." 3.5/4, Linda Barnard, "Toronto Star"
"The film interprets the spirit of the original work with meticulous emotional insight, vivid characterization, and smooth and reasonable plot arrangements. "The Lovely Bones" is a new symbol of film adaptations of novels." 4/5, Christopher Tuco, British Daily Mail
"Sibold's simple and moving prose is brought to the screen in the best possible way by Ye Wei." 4/4, Robert Butler, "Kansas City Star"
Time flies, and when the week of November 17th becomes a thing of the past, during this Thanksgiving week, facing two newly released blockbusters, TLB continues to shine with a box office trend of -32.8%!

After this week, it is almost certain that TLB is Paramount/DreamWorks' most successful movie this year, not the summer blockbusters "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Over the Hedge", not the Hess couple's "Mad Priest" (35 million budget) /80.19 million North American box office), it is the "tear gas" tlb.
Now that it is successful, of course a group of people will come out to share the credit. Spielberg has a sharp eye and has regained everything he lost from "Monster House"; Gail Berman's fierce eye for film selection gave Ye Wei enough trust; CEO Brad Gray, group president Tom -Freshton understands young audiences and is bold in reform
"Paramount has discussed the feasibility of cooperating with Ye Wei on new projects." Berman personally told the "Hollywood Reporter", expressing his utmost sincerity.
There is also news that Paramount wants to acquire the sci-fi action project "Iron Man" from DreamWorks.""" was handed over to Ye Wei. It is adapted from Richard Matheson's 1956 short story "Iron Armor". The project was started in 2003, and now there is nothing but hooking up with a bunch of producers, including Si Pierce and Zemeckis. They will work together to produce, and Ye Wei can direct, direct, and edit, and the final editing rights can be negotiated.
Movie fans who saw the news were excited! Both s and tlb have a production process that is almost B-level, but both are very successful. Ye Wei's continued astonishing returns have made the final cut rights of major studios that were out of reach for him last year no longer far away. The total production cost of this week's winner and runner-up is exactly 10 times that of TLB, but they are not more profitable at the box office. .
"If an independent filmmaker has the final editing rights and a total salary of more than 20 million US dollars, making a commercial blockbuster for Hollywood is not considered a job!"
Is viy going to make a blockbuster film? ?
Movie fans got more than just a piece of news. After Wei Lilian was announced, Ye Wei's relationship scandals dropped sharply, and she was instead rumored to be involved in one movie project after another.
Walden Media and Playtone's fantasy adventure film "Glimmer City" invited viy to join, but he seemed not interested. His words to the "Los Angeles Times" seemed to be a polite rejection. The first book in the "Glimmer City" series 03 Published in May 2019, projects were launched this year to take advantage of the popularity of adapting children's novels, such as "Fantasy Elf Event Book".
Last year¡¯s only rumored project was Disney¡¯s ¡°Snow White and the Seven Monks,¡± because the script had not yet been finalized. It is said that Disney is inviting Ye Wei to join it again. And another confirmed news has attracted more attention from Wei Mi. Lions Gate wants to team up with Ye Wei for a big project, and he can film whatever he wants!
"Lionsgate will make every effort to obtain new projects from viy and continue the happy and wonderful cooperation." Lionsgate CEO Jon Fellheimer also told the "Hollywood Reporter" of his sincerity.
Everyone can see the sincerity of Lionsgate. In order for the struggling "Carrie" to hit the 30 million box office, it will buck the trend and add 50 theaters next week. The reason is well known. Movie fans are most interested in Lionsgate right now, but Wei is an author-director, so why would he join other people's projects?
Wait what viy says!

Ye Wei spent this year¡¯s Thanksgiving holiday at work. There are only a few days left. The sooner w¡¯sb is completed, the better it will be for its distribution and public relations. The Golden Globe judges are all waiting to see its preview DVD. He just wanted to finish his work, so he didn't have a day off on Thanksgiving, and editor Suzanne Hines and others wouldn't be with him.
The family went to San Francisco for a short trip, and Duoduo couldn't bear to leave him, but who doesn't like traveling? Toto has gone.
Lily didn¡¯t go traveling! Harvard-Westlake had four consecutive weekends off, and she didn't go anywhere. She came to the editing room on Thanksgiving Day.
¡°You go about your business, I¡¯ll be quiet, just give me a pizza.¡±
Ye Wei felt that she was deliberately trying to move him so much that he wanted to shout, "Lily, I love you!" Otherwise, what else could he say? I really like this feeling of working together. The last time I was like this was during the post-production of "Wedding Day is Coming", and time has actually not changed much.
Lily was really quiet. After watching his editing for a while, she sat aside and read a journalism book by herself. But he couldn't sit still. He would tease her for a while, and then kiss her for a while. Lily was furious: "I can sell you some of my Adderall if you want it." She had read the script for "Juno."
"No, I quit." Ye Wei asked for his own trouble and sat back at the editing table, then smiled and asked: "Hey! Do you want to watch some good shows?" Lily asked: "What good show?" He said mysteriously: "Come here, you won't see it in the cinema anymore"
"Why, isn't it a good show?" Lily couldn't help but be curious. Seeing him move his right index finger, she rolled her eyes at him, then got up and walked away.
"Show time." Ye Wei played her a piece of discarded footage. On the computer screen, Jennifer and Alicia were kissing passionately
Lily was a little stunned, and Ye Wei laughed: "Hahaha! Isn't it interesting? I won't need this part, but I will keep it well. When they all become big stars in the future, this is worth money!" He played again In the other, Alicia was almost nibbling Jennifer and couldn't help but smile even more.
"Pfft" Lily was amused, "Hey! They are performing with all their heart, what's so funny Stop laughing, you are so bad Haha!"
"There are so many, so many! I have done this scene many times, let's have a tongue-kiss!"
"If you do this again, I'll leave!"
On this day, Lily stayed until the evening, and Ye Wei, after being busy in the editing room for half a night, went to have dinner and then headed to the Costco in Marina del Rey. A large group of sturdy people had already set up camp there, all of them rubbing their fists together and preparing to storm the supermarket.
No one wants to wait for the early morning. As soon as the early morning comes, Black Friday comes from the night, and the barrel-shaped aunts of all ethnic groupsHe shouted and broke through the supermarket door, but the staff could only half push and half let him go.
Shopping spree across America!
"Ah!!!" A dense flow of people rushed into the supermarket. People were frantically scrambling for all kinds of heavily discounted products, trying hard to complete their shopping list!
Ye Weiyi rushed into the supermarket and rushed in the direction of jewelry. Many people were rushing. Whether whose wedding ring is a platinum and diamond ring may depend on today! Three years later, the memory is still clear, and he knows where what he wants is! I saw it, I saw it
¡°Go for it!!!!!!¡±
A big hand reached out to the jewelry rack and grabbed a lily brooch with a price tag of $5. I grabbed it! - Didn't finish reading?
