On Friday, October 31, 2003, the sea breeze was blowing on Kauai Island in Hawaii at 7:30 in the morning. The waves of waves on the northern sea surface hit the tunnel beach. It was a good time to surf. A group of four people were surfing along the beach, laughing and laughing.

Bethany Hamilton, 13, is her best friend Alanna Blanchard, Alanna's father Holt and brother Byron.

Since winning the Rell-Sunn-Mene Mixed E Surfing Competition Championship at the age of 8, Bethany has been a surfing genius in the eyes of others. She is training for the first NSS national competition she participated in. In January next year, she will step on the waves on the highest stage and dreams will fly!

After another surfing, Bethany lay on the surfboard to rest, looking at the blue sky. The surfboard was floating with the sea, and the sound of the sea was clamoring, but she felt so quiet that she couldn't help but spread her hands and caress the gentle and warm sea water, just like dancing in the sea.

"Beth, Beth..." Alanna swam over.

"Life is so beautiful, thank God." Bethany sighed softly.

The sea water splashed, and the seemingly calm sea surface suddenly rushed out of a gray shadow. Amid Alanna's screams, Bethany felt the surfboard under her swaying violently and almost fell into the sea. The inexplicable pain made her scream. In an instant, she felt a numbness, and the sprayed blood had dyed the sea red.

"Shark, there are sharks!!!" Alanna cried.

The screams and screams immediately made Holt and Byron look at them, and their faces changed. They suddenly paddled over in amazement. Holt shouted: "Stay on the board and don't fall into the water!" Nervous and frightened like dark clouds. What kind of shark is that? Where? The four of them were in fatal danger, and Bethany was still losing a lot of blood quickly.

Bethany was almost slumped on the board, and Alanna was already in tears.

"Go back to the shore! Hurry!" Holt shouted, pulling Bethany's surfboard with Byron to help her paddle back, with Alanna following next to her.

Everything was incredible, the coast was getting closer and closer, Bethany's mind became more and more blurred, but he clearly realized what was going on, and he lost an arm and was finished.

...

"Soul Surfer"

mpaa rating: pg, a tense accident clip and some theme material

Brown Bear Cinema, located near UCL in West Los Angeles, is a top-notch theater with good location, lots of people, beautiful appearance, advanced hardware equipment, and a historical and cultural monument in Los Angeles (built in 1937), so movies often hold premieres here, with red carpets and bright stars.

Today, Brown Bear Cinema welcomed the premiere of SS. Lionsgate has invested much and is not as big as the specifications of the six major film manufacturers that have released blockbusters, but they have done enough time.

Although "Carrie" failed, the Lion Gate had no complaints about Ye Wei. Jon Felheimer and others continued to respect him like a little emperor. The responsibility was not over his head. They all knew that in fact Ye Wei had already performed his duties well.

The ideas and opinions given by Ye Wei are not only free of problems, but also solve the current failure. The company does not pay attention to it and does not do a good job on the set.

Therefore, the Lions Gate did not slow down at all in the promotion and distribution of SS. No matter whether SS is successful or failed, Ye Wei was still a VIP. The friendship of genius is one of the strategies for the long-term development of SS Gate.

Looking at the entire industry, even now, Viy's status has not been actually shaken, and it is still so far away from the strikeout situation. Of course, if he continues to fail, with his own movies, his popularity will naturally decline, and the road will not be as easy as it is now.

The 2006 "Viy Trilogy" is about to truly arrive. The three movies that have no excuses and failing are all his responsibilities. "Soul Surfer" is the first one.

But there was a new problem with the Lions Gate. Ye Wei suddenly said that he would not attend the premiere and his personality broke out again.

Jon Filheimer persuaded him but couldn't persuade him. The public relations staff could only notify the invited media about this new news. The official reason was that "Ye Wei is busy with the viewing of W’sb."

When the news spread, everyone who was preparing to attend the premiere was surprised.

Emma, ​​who received Ye Wei's call in person, exclaimed: "What!? Why?" She heard him say she was going to Toronto to comfort Nina, which was so furious. "Carrie"'s poor results were not her. Isn't Ss important? Are we not friends! Ss is still so hard to make!

"Sorry, Emma, ​​I was wrong when I didn't attend the premiere of "Carrie" before, I have to fix this error."

"But you are also making another mistake!"

"Didn't I notify you?"

The "Opra Talk Show" on October 5, 2006 was a guest of the SS crew. In the studio on the TV screen, three young people and Oprah sat on a beige fabric sofa for an interview. Oprah sat on the far right, while Ye Wei sat on the far left, with his right hand against the sofa, and a chic smile on his face.

Emma and Bethany sat in turn, all with sweet smiles.

Bethany was talking about her story making a movie and her mood. From publishing a biography, film project to the popularity of the past, she stopped. She looked at Ye Wei and smiled and said, "Then Wei joined, no one would make me happier. I am really grateful for all this. There are many stories about strength, but my story can be made into a movie by one of my favorite directors. It is so dreamy. God has really made arrangements for us. I hope that with my story, I can encourage more people and feel the courage God gives us."

The audience suddenly burst into warm applause, the camera swept away, and several middle-aged women seemed to have tears in their eyes.

The camera was aimed at Ye Wei on the left side of the sofa. He took the conversation and said, "Beth's story is like all great sports stories, legends, incredible, and inspiring. Like "Rocky" and "Million Dollar Baby", it is different in that it is real."

The studio was filled with laughter from the audience. Oprah looked surprised. The two movies mentioned by Ye Wei were both Oscars and the classics forever. His statement was a bit provocative. Emma was glaring and laughing.

Ye Wei continued to say nothing, "It is also like all great sports movies, not just about sports itself, but also about love, belief, emotions from family, friends and even opponents." Emma nodded, and looked at Ye Wei as if she was about to say something. He looked at her and she said, "And Jin Ji."

"Jingji? That's family." He shrugged and explained to Oprah: "Jingji is the dog in Bethany's family."

Amid the laughter of the audience, Bethany smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is called Hanale in reality, and it has always given me great support." Oprah asked: "What is the reason for its name change in the movie?" Ye Wei said seriously: "Hanale was taken from Hanale Bay near Beth's house, which will expose her address to the crazy star chasers, so..."

Suddenly, the audience who came over came laughing wildly, and a burst of applause couldn't help but sound, Oprah pretended to be surprised: "You said it."

Ye Wei looked at Bethany in a daze, "Sorry, I...I did it on purpose." Emma punched him in the shoulder and made the audience laugh louder. Ye Wei laughed and said, "Jinji is more cute, now it is Hanale's nickname." Bethany nodded, and Ye Wei said again: "Hanale Bay is really a beautiful place."

"You do have a happy time there," Emma said suddenly.

"I miss the hot stone spa there." Ye Wei nodded.

Oprah laughed and asked, "Emma, ​​did you learn to surf in order to play Bethany?"

"Yes!" Emma took the speech and started speaking.

"That's it, it's all my fault. I must go to Toronto to talk to Nina, okay?"

In this case, can there be any other answer? Lily felt that there was no, and she said to Ye Wei on the other end of the phone with generous expression: "Okay, what's the problem? Actually, you don't have to explain so much to me, we don't need to be so distant. Say hello to Nina for me, her Carrie acts very well."

He said happily, "I will. Lily, you are so nice, this is really good."

These praises cannot help Lily's depression. There is no problem with this. There is no need to explain so much, but she doesn't like it.

She felt sorry for Carrie and was entangled in "Soul Surfer", but everything was the same thing, and she didn't believe it. It was possible with Jiya, but it was possible with Emma Roberts, and it was also possible with Nina? She knew that it was impossible, Nina was her biggest rival in love.

Now my boyfriend is going to comfort this biggest rival, he has been dating his ex-girlfriend for more than a year...

After the call, Lily sighed dullly, little hooligan, big bastard! It wasn't that he suspected that he was cheating, but he was reluctant to stay with Nina, like a balance tilting.

But what if it is possible? He and Nina are really ordinary friends? When he dates Nina, she often meets him, greets him for a while, hangs around, and chats with him. If you attack him because of this, wouldn’t you be very stingy? Tolerate yourself to be mean to others? To control him too tightly? As if you keep thinking about the past he was doing badly?

From Saturday evening to Sunday morning, Lily was entangled with these sorrows and was a little disappointed. She thought she would meet him today. He originally planned to return to Springfield in the early morning flight, so they had an evening date.

After thinking about it, she simply admitted to herself: I am just stingy, Nina is different! It will never be different.

The sun was rising outside. Lily received a call from Ye Wei as soon as she got up. It was almost 10 o'clock in Toronto that he should have met Nina. Lily frowned slightly and walked to the balcony while answering the call from her phone: "Good morning, Wei."

His voice came out: "Hey good morning, I'm back to Los Angeles, I'm about to board the plane, and I'm expected to land at 13:15 pm, I'll go to the premiere first, and then, we'll go on a date."

When Lily heard this, she felt relieved. Maybe she was thinking too much. She looked at the orange-red sky and asked, "How is Nina?"

"Fortunately, you know that Nina is lively and enthusiastic by nature, and she is a bit stubborn. I explained to her that it was not her fault that the failure of "Carley" was really her fault, so she was nothing. Nina had her weekend date, and I kept thinking about you, I wanted to hug you and kiss you, so why did she stay in Toronto? I left." Ye Wei said.

"Oh." Lily's mouth couldn't help but tilt, and he understood that I was angry.

"My princess, how about we attend the premiere together?" Ye Wei asked suddenly.

Announcing a relationship? Lily looked at this and that with her eyes, she didn't have that kind of strong mood when she thought about it. She just replied: "But, I don't want to... Don't we keep it secret? I think it's still possible to be quiet for a while, only us."

"We are the only ones who announce it or not, but according to your ideas." He laughed, "I don't want you to be angry because I think now that I didn't consider your feelings when I went to Toronto. I don't want to apologize to you. I just want to say, I love you."

Lily also chuckled, her heart was relaxed and sweet, "I love you too. I will arrange for the date that night?"

"Okay." Ye Wei said, "I want to take Duoduo with me, but she has the urge to run away from home recently." Lily laughed, "It's best to bring Duoduo with me, she makes me safe." He gasped for a while: "Oh no...I'm so stupid, can I not take her?" Lily rejected: "No."

"I will be hurt by Duoduo in my entire life." Ye Wei sighed, "Then you will watch the synchronization in the afternoon, right? "Soul Surfer"." He gave her a try-through DVD.

The morning breeze was a little cool, Lily turned around and walked back and shouted: "Home theater, ready, snacks, pillows, ready, a few good friends, ready, Shark Boxing Tumbler, ready, wipe the tissue of tears, ready!"

Although this movie reminds her of some unpleasant things from time to time, it’s good to be immersed in the show.

"I hope I won't let you down." Ye Wei said.

Lily already knew that he had no confidence in Ss's victory, and wanted to encourage him: "How could that be? Even if I watched "The Angel Dance" in the afternoon, I wouldn't be disappointed. That was amazing! It was three years ago. Speaking of which, it's really similar to that time now."

" "Dance of Angels"? I'm afraid it's not it."

"Special effects may be better than 30 years ago, but almost all other aspects of the film are inferior to the old version." 2/5, Allen Hunter, British Daily Express

"There is no real mistake in this remake of "Carley", it just doesn't compare to the original version in most aspects." 2.5/5, Dan Kaufman, "Artificial Gem Magazine"

"This renovation may bring some new audiences to Carrie, with little impact, and it will become bleak and pale compared to the original." 2/4, Wilson Morales, "Tribune News"
