    It was dusk in Brentwood, and the bus stopped at a bus stop on the east section of San Vicente Avenue. The door opened, and Ye Wei quickly walked out and rushed north to South Gretna Green Street.  Look at those green coral trees, breathe the wind with the smell of the sea, home, sweet home!

    The streets in the residential area are lined with trees, and beautiful high-end houses are lined up in rows. Children and dogs are playing on the garden lawns, and they are full of joy.

    There are about 40,000 people here, 80% white, 9% Asian, 6% Hispanic, 1% black and 4% other.  More than half of the residents have received college education or above, 16% of the population are high-end professionals such as doctors, and only 5% of residents have a high school education or below.

    It is a truly good area with high education, high income, high quality and low crime. It has had many celebrity residents in history, such as Monroe and Schwarzenegger.

    Soon after Ye Wei was born, his parents bought a house here with a loan in order to give their son the best environment to grow up.

    Ye Wei grew up here. It can be said that if he closes his eyes, he can walk back to the two-story house with a gray roof and white walls surrounded by flowers, plants and trees. But after that dream, he had a long-lost feeling.  It's like a wanderer who has been wandering for many years has finally returned home.

    His home was not far from the bus stop. After running for a few minutes, he was almost there

    He had already called home before, and was still waiting on the front lawn. His father, Ye Haogen, and his mother, Jo-Ku, were both there.

    There was also a little black-haired girl chasing and playing with a Cairn terrier puppy, and there were bursts of laughter. That was his sister Ye Duo, and his pet Toto, both of whom were the pistachios of the family.

    "Woof!" Toto spotted him first.

    "Brother!" Duoduo also saw it, her cute face was full of joy, and she flew over with her little hands spread out.

    Ye Wei rushed forward, put down the bag of information documents, picked her up with a smile, and spun her around, "Oh¡ª¡ª"

    Looking at her innocent smile, he also smiled brightly: "Hi, Dorothy! Toto!" He kissed his sister on the forehead, put her down, and hugged the dog spinning at his feet, "I  I miss you so much"

    Toto licked his face excitedly, his tail wagging so clearly that he could not see clearly, and he was full of energy. Yes, he was a young puppy only three years old.

    Duoduo is still the little girl who has just turned three years old, enjoying her carefree childhood.  It's not the little adult in the dream who lives a wrinkled life and collects coupons, nor does he say, "Mom, I won't go to college anymore. Don't save money for me. I want to give all the money to my brother for his graduation project."  " words.

    very nice.

    Ye Wei took the lead towards the lawn, when a stern rebuke came: "Wei, what's wrong with you!?"

    It¡¯s his mother, that dignified and beautiful middle-aged woman.

    Gu Qiao also has a college degree. She graduated from the Department of East Asian Languages ??at the University of California, San Francisco. She could have had a good career, but she is a family-oriented woman. After marrying Ye Haogen, she became a full-time housewife. The family is hers.  All because of her superior life, time has not left many traces on her body.

    Seeing her, Ye Wei's mood suddenly tumbled again, tears almost bursting out of his eyes, and he shouted: "Mom!"

    In that dream, my mother was having a hard time.  Because she was older and had only half a year of work experience after graduating from college, although she tried her best to find a job that matched her major, she still had to take care of Duoduo and him, so she could only do part-time jobs.  , I have been doing several jobs at the same time all year round.

    At night, she also took on some work of translating documents. She was busy until two or three in the morning before going to bed. Before six o'clock, she got up and went out again

    Such a pace of work would make even an iron man endure it. When he woke up from the dream, she had just been admitted to the hospital due to sudden syncope. The doctor said that due to long-term fatigue, if she did not take a good rest, she would die suddenly at any time  ¡­

    "Don't try to do this with me." Gu Qiao said with a funny and angry look: "What did you do at school today? Teacher Ai Xi has already called me and she told me everything! You  How can you be so rude, what are you thinking? Why are you pretending to be sick and skipping school? "

    "Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong" Ye Wei choked and said, I was wrong in letting you bear so much alone, but that won't come true, no.

    Gu Qiao was very surprised by his son's reaction, and his attitude softened: "Tell mom, what happened?"

    Ye Haogen behind him quietly gave his son a thumbs up, there is a way!  Ye Wei couldn't help but smile.

    This made Gu Qiao look back and became very angry. He scolded both father and son: "It's all your fault."Your son is spoiled. When he can't even get into college, let's see if you laugh or not!  And you, don¡¯t think that you will be fine just because your father supports you. You should reflect on your mistakes and be a good student. We only have good students in our family.  "

    Next to her, Duoduo was so anxious that she finally said in a sweet voice: "Mom, don't scold me! It's my fault"

    The three of them were stunned and couldn't help laughing. Gu Qiao asked, "What's wrong with you?" Duoduo lowered her head and said, "I ate those candies secretly. It's none of my brother's business." Gu Qiao was fierce.  Said: "Okay, it turns out it's you!"

    Duoduo, who did not admit it, was scolded, and Ye Wei was scolded a lot, but his attitude was completely different from before. Not only was he willing to listen, but he was also willing to admit his mistakes and apologize.

    Faced with his son's tactics, Gu Qiao was helpless. At a rebellious age like him who was obsessed with being a cool kid, he should have refuted it, just like before.  Then she could impose ground-level punishment, but now, she could only punish him with some housework.

    "OK, I've taken care of today's housework." With a smile on his face, Ye Wei picked up the bag of documents and followed his parents' footsteps, taking Duoduo and Toto back home. "I want to make a sumptuous dinner. Just  I cook alone, you are only responsible for eating.¡±

    Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao looked at each other with strange eyes, "So good?"

    "Yes, you'd better get used to it as soon as possible. This is who I will be from now on."

    Ye Wei said it very seriously, and silently swore in his heart that no matter what happens in the future, dad, mom, Duoduo, Toto, everything will be fine, I promise.  I will fight to the death to protect our happiness, even if I go to hell, as long as you go to heaven.

    "Listen first, I hope you can persist for a week.", "Am I really going to get tooth decay?", "Sweet cookie, dad can tell you, if you eat so many candies, I will pull out your teeth."

    They were laughing and talking about something, but no one knew how serious he was at this time.

    ¡­¡­

    At night, South Gretna Green Street was brightly lit. After a happy dinner, the Ye family gradually became quiet.

    Ye Wei thought it was time to talk to his father. He took the bag of information and documents and came to the study.  There was light shining out of the study, and his father's somewhat worried voice said: "Kevin, is this really the only way to go?" Dong Dong, he knocked on the unsealed carved wooden door.

    In the huge study room, there are rows of bookshelves full of books. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ye Haogen was lingering and chatting on the phone: "Aren't you going to participate in the film festival? We haven't done any promotion yet"

    Ye Wei walked over lightly, and could vaguely hear the words coming from the phone: "The film industry is very complicated. It's not like a dentist. You don't just have a cavity and pull it out. Nowadays, wedding movies  The trend is about to pass, we don¡¯t have time to spend on those film festivals, and our money can only go so far, but we still have many opportunities, don¡¯t forget that our main distribution target is not theaters, but various copyrights.  Sale¡­¡­"

    "Yes, I know, I know, it's just" Ye Haogen frowned, but couldn't say anything to refute.

    Ye Wei secretly scolded Kevin Thomas for being a bitch, and said to himself: "Dad, you don't know!"

    "Wedding Day is Coming" did not participate in the film festival not because of some damn trend, it was just too bad to dare to participate!  If you can't get into a big film festival, you will be laughed at even in a small film festival.

    Therefore, its copyright is also difficult to sell. In that dream, Kevin Thomas had previously boasted about the network resources he had, the big names he knew, and the overseas publishers, all of which could not be fulfilled.  It took four or five years, but nothing was sold. In the end, I had to sell the entire North American and overseas rights to the film to a small film producer for 300,000 yuan.

    And it spent a total of 2 million in production fees and 200,000 in distribution fees. Naturally, six groups of investors, including the Ye family, lost their money.

    The worst thing was the Ye family, which lost 1.8 million yuan.

    It was not that Ye Haogen had no plans to deal with investment failure. He originally planned to pay off the 1.5 million debt slowly even if he lost all the money, as long as his dental clinic was still there, but he had no savings and his work would be harder.  Some, not endangering his family and life.

    And what happened next, no one expected

    But Ye Weide said that borrowing money to invest in movies is undoubtedly a gambler's mentality. His father has been blinded by the movie dream he has suppressed for many years and Kevin Thomas's rhetoric.

    Now my father is still a person who is dreaming of sweet dreams and doesn't want to wake up, and "Wedding Day is Coming" is his third child in his heart. No matter what the child looks like, good parents will always love their children. He is like that,  Watch "Wedding Day is Coming"You can laugh out loud and say it's "not as good as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but it's not bad."

    What a respectable and pitiful dream chaser.

    "Haogen, film distribution is a professional job, leave it to me, you can't help much."

    "Well, okayI really can't do anything, okay, bye."

    With a beep, Ye Haogen put down the phone, scratched his head and took a long breath. He looked at Ye Wei again, forced a smile on his face, and asked with a smile: "Have you finished your homework?"

    "Dad, we need to talk." Ye Wei looked serious and said straight to the point: "Kevin Thomas is a damn liar."
