Hollywood is a place where no one can get along with geniuses, unless you don’t want to get along.

In 1973, George Lucas's "American Style Painting" received a global box office of 140 million with a budget of 777,000, bringing Universal Pictures a profit of 52 million. This amazing rate of return was not broken by "The Witch Blair" until 1999. At that time, the 29-year-old genius filmmaker Lucas was ambitious to launch his new project, believing that Universal would provide him with 100% of the funds and everything he wanted without hesitation. However, the Universal Box Office Department told him that "your new project will be a box office poison, which is statistically analyzed." Universal Fairy did not give him any money. Later, 20th Century Fox invested in this 13 million science fiction project (almost withdrawn before filming), "Star Wars".

This kind of childish and heinous mistake happens in Hollywood every day.

Although the Oscar organizer is called the "American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences", in fact, film arts and science are almost antisense.

In order to avoid mistakes as much as possible, there is an industry creed “Don’t try to understand or question geniuses, satisfy them.”

I received a notification call from Ye Wei on Friday night. Jon Felheimer was not surprised at all. If Viy didn't respond, 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 put into the evaluation. Two years ago, Ye Wei said, "I want to have a quarrel with the film critics." Someone will be surprised. Now it is a matter of course.

It's really just a notice, not a negotiation.

There have been two waves of geniuses in the history of American films, one since the 1930s, and the other since the 1970s, Coppola, Scorsese, Spielberg, Lucas, Zemegis, De Palma, Malik, John Hughes, Woody Allen, Hal Ashbey, Bob Rafelson... These movie boys who have changed movies and Hollywood, are also called "author directors" (the directors whose works highly reflect personal will, usually serve as screenwriters and producers).

Ye Wei is a genius, an author and director. It is a disaster for mortals to fight against him. As long as he maintains success in return for investment, he basically does whatever he wants. Hollywood is a mad asylum that locks up a bunch of madmen. What can you expect madmen not to do?

He is a genius, a lunatic and a big shot. Many people and money enter the film industry to get to know the most unique, interesting and charming characters in the world.

Jon knows countless mortals and geniuses in this industry. How can he describe Ye Wei? Everyone has his own way of speaking. Not everyone has Ye Wei's way of speaking. Half of his words are smart, wise, confident and philosophical, which makes people admire him unknowingly, and their other half is humorous and friendly, just like an old friend, who makes people lose their guard and tell him a lot, but he may not have said anything about him yet.

Jon also knew two or three people who could speak like this, Warren Beatty and John Travolta. These people are probably the most funny and uncelebratory superstars he has ever seen. They are all cognitive in limited contact outside of work. Knowing why these prodigal sons are always unfavorable to pick up girls. Even an old man convinced of the charm, how can women resist it?

Ye Wei also had another way of speaking, and his very tough words were like saying, "You don't understand, I don't want to explain to you, just watch it, you will understand." At this time, Jon would think of "Oh, yes, he is a genius."

"Wige, you're watching the trouble." Jon replied, even if he couldn't say that he would be convinced in the end.

What he cares about is whether the film can make a profit. From this perspective, it is better to support ViY.

Because the ordinary audience comments from SS ensured that Ye Wei was either unreasonable, and there would be public opinion supporting him to confront and criticize him. It would be either a fuss or a failure. If it was a fuss, it would be a controversial work, and it would also attract public attention. It even changed from a bad movie to a classic over time. Perhaps this is what Ye Wei thought.

Hollywood has always been evaluating the impact of film reviews on a movie's box office performance. As early as the 1980s, survey data from many companies showed that the answer was "almost no impact". Compared with schedules, publicity, subject matter, castings, 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 major reasons is that since the 1980s, film critics have gradually become rampant, from each city to every small town, there are their own local film critics. The larger the group, the lower the average level, the more commercial behaviors, and the smaller the influence.

In the late 1980s, people began to say that "film critics are dead". As they talked, the Internet has made film critics more rampant.

When Jon heard Ye Wei say he wanted to write an article on this topic, Ye Wei smiled and said, "I know that no one can scold these people. They will just continue to live well. But I still have to scold." Of course, the film critics have its status and industry role, and no matter whether the impact or the box office does not hinder its operation.

In fact, it is not without any influence, it is just not in blockbusters and commercial films, but in art films and niche films.

The greatest responsibility of film critics is to use the film critic industry as a promotional channel to help audiences find, appreciate and support niche art films, separate them from Hollywood commercial films, and make them endless from independent films. This is how classics come about.

This "audience" refers to the art theater audience. Because most ordinary audiences/non-movie fans choose movies without watching movie reviews, and they will not make special comments after watching a movie, so they do not care about these things. Usually, intellectuals and potential intellectuals are concerned about movie reviews, and they trust film critics from mainstream print media. These film critics themselves tend to write for them, and have high standards and professional ethics, and they also have to worry about reputation.

A positive review from the New York Times can double the box office of a foreign film's small opening weekend, and the difference between 100,000 and 200,000 openings is a big deal.

How did "The Wedding Day approaches" soar into the sky two years ago? It is a good movie itself, and was praised by the film critics led by Roger Albert as the most funny spoof movie in history, which aroused the interest of a large number of viewers. The average single-stage box office in the first two weeks was extremely high, and there was also a topic of 16-year-old genius, and the audience's enthusiasm was ignited.

"Exorcist Video" is also thanks to the praise of the film critics. If there are no thumbs up in the advertisement, the effect may be much worse. If "The Little Sunshine Beauty" is not nearly 100% fresh, Ye Wei may become the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Director, but it will definitely not be overstop.

So the media often say that Viy is the darling of the film critics, and they are in the same group, but now they suddenly turn against each other.

Ye Wei was not cursing about some small town film critics or online film critics, but these people, famous, influential film critics.

Although it is beneficial to SS, Jon reminded him to show his intimacy: "Some critics give positive reviews to the film and praise you very much. Don't hurt them by chance, haha. You have a good relationship with the film critics and you can maintain as much as you can."

"I am a film critic myself, how could I hate everyone?" Ye Wei laughed a few times, "Brother, I'm very angry but I'm not crazy, I just want to say something."

No matter what, Jon can't help.

The evaluation of the film critics can be icing on the cake or putting in the wrong. Maybe when it suddenly plays an unpredictable role. It is an uncontrollable x factor, and it will be even more out of control when it gets messed up. I really don’t know what ss will be this time.

Upon receiving the notification call that Ye Wei was going to make a big fuss, Julia Roberts said in his heart, "Sure enough". When she saw the shocking 35% freshness, she knew it would be like this. With Ye Wei's frivolous pride, she dared to "I will never apologize for this matter" when she was a little bit small. Now, she has been criticized by the film critic for the first time in her life, and she must die standing and die.

What she didn't expect was this situation, and she thought that if she was going to achieve great success, the movie would be a movie.

"Don't pull Emma in, that's my only request."

"But Emma wants me to pull her in."

"Don't listen to her!"

"Okay, okay. Julia, after the movie is over, I won't owe you anything. Then I won't listen to you anymore. Maybe we have a cup of coffee and talk about the movie one afternoon. Now seriously... that's it, bye."

"Boy, don't you talk about your plans?"

"No, leave some surprises, you'll see."

Roberts was really annoyed when he hung up the phone. This brat had a hard wing. I dare not be big or small. I am still a member of the 20 million yuan pay club!

Even though he knew that Morley Linward was her mortal enemy, he had previously put her and Linward together in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Roberts has always been unhappy with Lin Ward. Back in the late 1980s, everyone was in their early 20s and was 4 months younger than her. Lin Ward was the queen of youth campus films, and she was just a new star who had just emerged. At that time, Lin Ward could play the heroine of any movie, and she would have the chance to play it without playing others. Lin Ward was the kind of person who "pursuing art" and did not want to play a beautiful girl anymore. She deduced the films including "The Pretty Beauty" and "The Love of Man and Ghost" and other films, and she wanted to play all of them.

Because Lin Ward did not act, "The Pretty Beauty" became popular, "The Love of Man and Ghost" became popular, and Demi Moore, and Lin Ward went to Europe to pursue art. Finally, let alone superstars, even celebrities are not. Housewives are half-letting in film, although she is now. She has always been sweethearts in the United States, and she is also told by the outside world all day long, "If Lin Ward didn't want it, there would be no Roberts' share", "Lin Ward is much better than Roberts", "Roberts don't understand art"... She is really annoyed with any comparisons of them.

As a movie star, annoying reviews are more than just movie reviews.

She didn't know whether Ye Wei did it on purpose, but this guy had violated her taboo. Ss' box office success is easy to say, and if even the box office failed, she wouldn't give up. At the beginning, she disagreed with Emma as Bethany. She had acted like this. He did it throughout the production period of Ss, which was far from what he had agreed to at the beginning.

As long as the box office is successful, Ye Wei's fuss will increase Emma's fame. He will cause all the troubles he causes. Of course, it would be a good thing for a brat to win, and it was the victory of their small group, but he didn't teach a lesson...

Roberts is in a complicated mood.

...

On Friday night of the 13th, Liz received a mass text message from Ye Wei: "My friends, who has released the dog? Hoho, the counterattack of the ss movie review began!" She guessed! She excitedly went online to check his blog as quickly as possible. When she saw the "Two Laughter" he posted in Springfield in the early morning of the 14th, she immediately laughed.

"oh,yeah" is like "oh, by the way" and "oh, Ye", "what" means surprise, is it better or worse? This movie review is written "awesome". The second joke is also easy to understand. He was scolded by his wife all day long. Who is the mother of his child? Slow down... This is also a joke!

the-death-of-film-c daily ticism?

It sounds very serious.

There is a good show, haha!
