On February 16, a new week began in the North American film market, with many new films released. Among them, "Bridge to Wonderland", adapted from the classic children's literature of the same name, received 85% freshness reviews from film critics. It is smart, gentle, and unforgettable. It's a rarity among children's movies, with even the Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern calling it "satisfying."
But the audience's love rating is only 70%, mostly because they are dissatisfied with the adaptation and the death of "Leslie".
"Leslie" is an angel, and AnnaSophia Robb, who plays Leslie, is an angel! Such an innocent and beautiful girl, how could the audience accept her premature death?
¡°The first half was really good, but after Leslie died, the movie became meaningless.¡±
"Sad, melancholy! It's so unreasonable. It just so happened that Jesse and Teacher Edmonds went out? It happened that no adults were in charge? It happened that the rope was broken?"
"Kids should love the freshness of this movie, but it's too cruel for kids for my liking. AnnaSophia Robb is great, the little girl who plays Mabel is adorable, and the rest of the cast is horrible."¡ ¡
Since "It's All Daisy's Trouble" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" that landed on the screen in 2005, Ana, who has grown from a little girl to a slim girl, has made her second appearance and has become the focus of popularity in the film market. In interviews, the media will mention her friendship with Ye Wei.
Anna told Entertainment Weekly that she is happy with what they have achieved now: "I met him when he was not even 10 years old, and we both went from no one to where we are now, which is really cool. Of course I want to do a movie with him, I I have been looking forward to this for four years and hope to have that opportunity soon.¡±

During the three days from February 17th to 19th, Ye Wei had a lot of surprises. It all started when he went to meet Lily at the Yangcheng restaurant in Chinatown that he had made an appointment with before New Year's Eve. As a result, he saw Lily holding Duoduo's hand at the door decorated with lights. Hand came over with a smile, "Surprise!"
He burst out laughing, and sure enough, his parents were here too, except for poor Toto.
The devil¡¯s training is only done 6 days a week, leaving one day for the body to rest. The Spring Festival on the 18th happened to be on Sunday. His family and Lily spent a day in Chinatown. Duoduo had the most fun. There was a grand lion dance performance, red envelopes and gifts, and delicious food. It was really fun.
On Monday, the second day of the Lunar New Year, he announced that he was 19 years old, and his soul was nourished by various blessings early in the morning. He went to Carrington to train as usual during the day. After sunset, the group went to Chinatown for dinner and birthday cake. His food continued to be vegetables and rice
Under their smiling faces, Ye Wei made a sincere 19th birthday wish on the cake: "I hope every living being can be free and happy."
Lily clapped, and Duoduo also clapped her little palms.
Duoduo gave him a children's watercolor painting she painted, which showed him and Lily taking her to Disneyland. It was very thoughtful, but the meaning was also obvious, "When will you take me there again?" Lily gave him several gifts in succession. After the birthday party, she returned to the world of two people in the hotel apartment. She gave the most solemn gift, which was the female version of the first single CD of Silent Starless Band that she had secretly recorded in the studio, with some lyrics changed. The lead singer we-are-lurer-pobby-and-dingan!
He never thought of this gift. They composed this song together, but before it was finished, she beat him to it.
"I can sing pretty well, my dad helps me." Seeing that he was as happy as a child, Lily also smiled grandly.
Ye Wei immediately played it on the DVD/CD player in the apartment. After listening to her singing a few words, he was drunk and collapsed on the sofa with a silly smile on his face.
Lily came over and sat sideways on his lap, hugged his neck, and whispered: "Wei, I never thanked you for the song you gave me that summer. I really like it. In fact, I have a copy of it, but I just don't know much about it." I want to touch that memory." Ye Wei kissed her red lips, "There are so many things I haven't thanked you for, do we need to count them?"
She didn¡¯t say anything and took the initiative to kiss him.
It¡¯s another beautiful night.

On February 21st, fm2007 released the 7.0.2 patch. The latest player database was released. Ye Wei is no longer a free agent but a member of the Manchester United reserve team:
¡¾Satisfaction:
Main emotion: Happy to join Manchester United
Short-term plan: No specific plans for the future
Coach¡¯s Commitment: No comments yet
Good relationship: I think Paul Scholes is a good player]
As soon as the patch was released, Ye Wei was snapped up by players around the world. As a "world-famous" player with the highest reputation level earning a weekly salary of 1,000 pounds, the club's profits will certainly increase. The transfer window is closed, Manchester United won't let him go, Ye Wei doesn't like him, and he can't be traded? Then use modifiers. Some players used the modifications that dayThe device brought out Ye Wei's hidden data. These mental attributes are still against the sky, and his ambition is as high as 20
There has been new progress in the labor certification complaint that has concerned followers. The independent arbitration panel will convene a hearing on the complaint filed by Manchester United for Ye Wei on Monday the 26th and make a ruling.
When the curtain came to an end from February 16 to 22, this week¡¯s North American box office champion belonged to the action blockbuster "Ghost Rider" starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes. It received 58.96 million in 3,619 theaters; the runner-up was "Bridge to Wonderland" with 32.64 million in 3139 theaters.
In the past four weeks, "Winter's Bone" has gradually expanded its scale from 308 stores, with gratifying results:
Number of theaters, average weekly box office
452 homes 76133, 441, 076
605 households 53823, 256, 110
713 homes 42753,048,075
786 homes 36122, 839, 032
Its total box office is already 22,838,683, and is expected to exceed 28 million, overturning previous agency predictions. This is still Ye Wei's lowest-grossing film, and the audience preference dropped to 78%, but it is also one of the most successful independent films in history.
There are only 120 theaters left for "The Lovely Bones" in its 15th week. In the past four weeks, it has received 1,936,319, with a total North American box office of 142,865,170.
Spotpass, which has been online for several days, is still in the initial promotion stage. There are many registered users, but few people have invested money in crowdfunding. "Murder Hero" has attracted several fan investments totaling US$2,000 because of its two actors. Website spokesman Lev told the Los Angeles Times: "We still need time to accumulate more users and gain their trust."
On February 24, the 28th round of the Premier League started. Manchester United defeated Fulham 2:1 and won 4 consecutive victories. Giggs equalized the score in the 29th minute, and Ronaldo scored his 16th league goal of the season in the 88th minute. Because Chelsea had to play the League Cup final against Arsenal, this round was postponed to March 14. Chelsea was 9 points behind Manchester United at the top of the list with one game in hand.
"They should have lost based on the scene, but they ended up winning." At the post-match press conference, Chelsea coach Mourinho didn't enjoy the joy of winning the League Cup for long before he talked about Manchester United: "They are just lucky. When they visited Tottenham, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the deadlock with a dive, and in the end it was 4-0. It seemed that all the luck was concentrated on Manchester United, but this is football."
When asked by reporters about Manchester United¡¯s recent signing of Ye Wei, Mourinho was quite disdainful: ¡°I don¡¯t care what Ye Wei is like, no one at Chelsea cares about him.¡±
On the other side, Ferguson had a lot to say about Ye Wei: "I told him before that it might be better for him to play on loan for a while. But he said, 'I came to play to help Manchester United win.' Those who are familiar with him said Everyone knows that Weige is a very confident and persuasive person, and he is very diligent in the reserve team. I am very happy to give him a chance if I can."
Manchester United is currently fighting on three fronts, the league, the Champions League and the FA Cup. If Ye Wei gets a labor certificate and performs well in the team, he will have a chance to play.
However, a paparazzi took a photo of Ye Wei coming back from Los Angeles Airport with only a travel bag on her back last night, apparently preparing to attend the Oscars.

On the afternoon of the 24th in Los Angeles, the 22nd Independent Spirit Awards ceremony will be held in a temporary tent on Santa Monica Beach. It will be hosted by comedian Sarah Schillman. The program will be broadcast on Bravo channel and ifc channel .
This is a grand event in the independent film industry, and only independent films and independent filmmakers can be nominated, which also makes its star "dim." This year's five best film nominees are ""American Arms", "Dead Girls", "Half Nelson", "The Lovely Bones", "Pan's Labyrinth"", among which "American Arms" 24,098 North America/34,138 global box office, while "Dead Girls" is 19,875/905,291.
But that¡¯s why it¡¯s different from other awards. Because its registration time was early, the nominations were announced on November 28. "Winter's Bone" did not catch up. TLB ranked "Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress" "Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay" leads the list with six nominations.
As one of the banner figures of independent films, Ye Wei naturally has to attend. He was ignored by many people before he didn't go to Sundance to join in the fun. Not only does he want to win an award today, but he also wants to promote spotpass to his peers. Lily had to record a game show and didn't have time to accompany him, so she didn't have to meet Liz. When Lily saw her, things became unpleasant, even though he and Liz were innocent.
The afternoon was sunny. In the parking lot by the beach, Ye Wei saw Liz. She had blond hair and was wearing a semi-formal blue top and black skirt. She was holding a light brown fashionable handbag. The last time we met was at the British Academy Awards two weeks ago. People said they went to Carrington for a class visit, but in fact they didn't. They were just traveling on their own.
"Hey, Liz!" he smiled and walked up.
"Hello,Wei, nice to meet you. "Liz came over, her expression of boredom was different from her usual smart look.
Ye Wei looked her up and down, and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?" Liz still looked at him blankly, as if a little aggrieved. Ye Wei said in a deep voice: "You are not Liz, I can see it, you are The guy who took over Liz's body is not her." Liz raised her eyebrows and asked, "How could that be?"
He looked at her around and said, "Maybe it's like"Mr. Jordan Goes Out". Have you ever been a boxer before?"
"Mr. Jordan" is a 1941 classic comedy. It was nominated for 7 Oscars, including Best Picture, and won two Best Original Story and Best Screenplay. The Oscars later changed them to Best Original/Adaptation. script. It tells the story of a boxer, Joe, who died in a plane crash and went to heaven. Only then did he realize that it was a mistake made by a ghost. Joe should not have died, but his body had been destroyed. Mr. Jordan, a millionaire who had just been murdered by his wife.
This story is really a classic, and it was remade twice with success, 1978's "Heaven Can Wait" (1/9 Oscar nomination), and 2001's "Back to Earth".
"Yes." Liz nodded and smiled. He had recommended it to her before, jokingly saying, "This movie specializes in atheism." As she walked towards the beach, she said: "You have seen it. Elizabeth Olsen is dead. I was reborn from Phuket. Oh my God, are you Ye Wei? I have admired you for a long time. I like your movies. ¡±
"I know you're angry that I didn't attend your birthday party." Ye Weiyi sighed. Phuket is the word "Lea" in "Juno", which is equivalent to fuck-it.
"I don't want to, but" Liz turned around, frowning tightly, "A volleyball? Seriously? It's hard for me to let go."
Ye Wei looked around and saw no reporters. This was not a bad thing. He took out a small gift box from his coat pocket and gave it to her, "Happy birthday, this is in person."
"Oh!" Liz quickly took the pink gift box, pulled off the ribbon knot, opened it, and saw a monster pendant. She smiled with interest and asked, "What is this?"
"I don't know." Ye Wei also looked at the silver monster that looked like a bird, a dinosaur, and a sea monster. She liked monsters. He shrugged and said, "It's just a monster. It may have some powerful power. You should be careful when wearing it. I hope. You like it, but I think this thing is more vulgar than volleyball."
"Thank you, I like it very much." Liz put the box into her handbag, "For others, the smiling face volleyball is more interesting, but for you, this kind of interesting is effortless. If you want a vulgar gift, just It¡¯s painful, and jewelry becomes more interesting!¡±
"You really understand me." Ye Wei couldn't help but smile, "It seems that you have taken over Liz's memory."
"That's it." Liz also took out a small red brocade box from her handbag and gave it to him, "Happy birthday, this is in person."
"It's not a football, right? A miniature football?" He took the box, opened it, and took out the thing inside, a golden piggy pendant, and wanted to take it together.
Liz vividly talked about her journey: "I couldn't think of what to give you. After thinking about it, what should I give to Ye Wei? He lacks everything. Then I thought that you love animals, and I checked what year it is this year. It¡¯s the Chinese Year of the Pig, you¡¯re a big pig bully again, I¡¯ll give you this golden pig.¡±
"Haha." Ye Wei laughed and gestured with the golden pig to his neck, "Thank you, it's very thoughtful. I can feel your pain. The problem is that I can't really wear it, right? It's so tacky." Liz said again He took out the monster pendant he gave him, gesticulated it on his neck, and glared, "What about me? Should I wear this out? It's so dazzling."
"I don't care about you."
"Then please do as you please."
The two of them laughed and walked into the beach, towards the lively big tent in the distance, where guests from all walks of life were entering.
Ye Wei was suddenly startled and saw Nina not far ahead. She was wearing a semi-formal tea-white waist-cinching dress and holding an orange handbag. She should also be attending the award ceremony. Nina also saw him. She waved her hands happily and naturally, and walked over quickly, not wearing high heels.
"OhI'm going in first." Liz looked at him, strode away, said hello to Nina and continued walking.
Looking at Nina approaching, Ye Wei took a deep breath of the sea breeze. Without thinking, he saw her open her hands, rush over and jump as if to hug him. She must have hugged him with all her strength before. In his shock, he seemed to hear Nina shouting "Yunique!"
Nina nimbly jumped over from the side, with a bright smile as she succeeded in teasing her, and pointed at him with her right index finger wagging, "Da da da da, you're blushing!"
Ye Wei laughed out loud, not knowing what to say for a moment, "Nina."
? ??Hehe. "Nina's sandy laughter was still charming and naive, "Wei. "
The last time the two met was last year, when "Carrie" was first released. It had been several months, and a lot of things had happened in the meantime, especially her involvement. However, there is nothing strange about looking at each other, it feels casual, and there seems to be some politeness. Now they are not a couple or single.
"I heard that you moved to Los Angeles, are you still adapting?" Ye Wei asked.
Nina nodded, "No problem, I meanToronto is my home! But Los Angeles is really nice. The best thing is this beach. I can come here every day and bask in the sun and swim. It's great." She looked at it. He said, "You have grown stronger and it's time to cut your hair I'm just saying casually. What about you, are you okay in the UK?"
"Very good, I'm competing for opportunities." Ye Weidang didn't hear the first half of her sentence and sighed: "It's so difficult. I practice half to death every day and eat poorly."
"I really didn't expect you to become a professional athlete." Nina puffed her lips unnaturally, "Do you know how hard it is?" Ye Wei smiled helplessly: "I have always known how hard it is, so I said winning or losing is not important. , challenging yourself is the greatest pleasure.¡±
"Okay, I don't want to listen to your nerdy theories." She took something out of her handbag, "I know you will attend, happy birthday!" She gave him a palm-sized gift box wrapped in colorful gift paper, with a smile on her cheek. The curve of the apple smiles sweetly, and the passionate almond eyes flow gently.
"Thank you." Ye Wei happily took it and took it apart and saw that it was a clay doll, a black-haired boy wearing a red jersey. Nina explained with a smile: "I like to make clay dolls recently. This is you, do you recognize it?" He turned the doll in his hand, "Of course, wow"
Nina thought of something and excitedly took out a stack of photos from her handbag and showed him, "By the way, my illegal photography collection! These photos are all mine and they are quite good. Take a look. I want to thank you. At that time, I was encouraged by Discord¡¯s kindness, haha.¡± She helped take his gift box.
Ye Wei held the stack of photos in both hands and looked at them one by one without saying a word. He saw Nina walking on the highway and sitting on the edge of the road bridge, so lonely and dangerous He suddenly felt a severe heartache, and his face I blushed uncontrollably and had to hold my breath.
Nina also changed her expression a little, and said softly: "I know it's stupid, but it's okay." Anyway, this is not the stupidest thing I have ever done.
"No, that's not stupid, that's not it." Ye Wei gradually calmed down and forced a smile, "It's a beautiful photo album." Nina suddenly asked: "Are you going to attend the Golden Raspberry Awards tonight? I'll do it if you go. Go." He looked at her calmly and couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? Are you not Nina? Are you someone who has taken over Nina's body?"
"It's me!" Nina was annoyed, "I just try to look at these things from a different angle."
"I won't go, and you don't go either." Ye Wei said seriously, "Fuck them, "Carrie" isn't that bad, they are just trying to get attention, don't pay attention to them."
