After a morning and half an afternoon, more than half a hundred students registered investments in the Dream Chaser League Club, all with amounts ranging from 1,000 to 3,000. Babu invested 5,000, the most among the five. So he got a copy of the July 1998 issue of Playboy and got busy.
Although he had scattered all the adult magazines he had collected over the years, Ye Wei felt very happy. He was grateful for the enthusiasm and trust of his brothers.
He also has a responsibility to make this production crowdfunding go down in history as a successful example, so that everyone can become a cool kid that attracts the attention of the world!
Now a total of more than 220,000 US dollars has been raised, but all the money is still just a number in the registration book. A new company must be established first, and then a company's bank account can be opened before signing the contract, posting, etc. The investment contract is also You need to find a professional entertainment lawyer to draft it, there are too many things to do.
But today is Veterans Day, so don¡¯t worry. Around the afternoon, Ye Wei announced the disbandment. That¡¯s it for today. Let¡¯s all enjoy the remaining half-day holiday!
Brentwood, the eastern section of Sunset Boulevard, is a bus stop next to a residential house with a beautiful environment.
Lilixu leaned on the silver women's touring bicycle and looked at the watch on her wrist again, frowning slightly. It was almost 16:15, which was almost 15 minutes beyond the agreed time. She muttered dissatisfied: "Asshole ¡¡±
Regardless of whether this is a date or not, is being late the gentlemanly thing to do? Besides, she has never been treated like this before, and she has never thought about it
Has he forgotten this? Wait She suddenly thought of a more terrifying possibility. The whole thing was Ye Wei playing tricks on her? Where is he hiding, peeping and laughing maniacally?
But before she could think about it, she saw a figure riding a bicycle running towards the intersection on the opposite side of the avenue. Ye Wei, who was wearing a sports T-shirt and jeans, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She was overthinking and was just rude. late
ßÞga! The red mountain bike with a back seat was parked in front of her. Ye Wei put his feet on the ground and exhaled: "Sorry, I'm late. I just got back from school."
"School?" Lily was startled. It would be better to find a bad excuse for this kind of thing than to make a joke. Of course she didn't buy it: "Ah ha, it's very interesting."
"It's true, it's not studying, but busy with some things." Ye Wei parked his bicycle and walked off, mentally prepared that the other party would lose his temper. It was indeed his fault for being late.
"Reallyokay." Lily believed it for the time being, mainly because she was a VIY person. If she really wanted to be late, she would be late without hesitation. There was no need to lie.
"Uh, thank you." Ye Wei was a little unbelievable. She couldn't be possessed by the Virgin Mary, right? He couldn't help but look her up and down.
Wearing a white T-shirt, light blue thin coat, and linen cropped pants, all from famous brands such as Chanel, she rolled up her sleeves slightly, and her brown and black hair was pulled into a ponytail with a small bow hairpin. The style is sassy, ??yet youthful, cute and elegant.
The two thick and long eyebrows are still so heroic, and there seems to bea hint of coquettishness in the clear eyes.
He chuckled and said, "You look good."
"Thank you" Although Lily rolled her eyes, there was a pleasant sweetness in her heart. She ignored him and looked towards the back seat of his bicycle
Seeing this, Ye Wei turned around and took out something from the bamboo basket tied to the back seat. It was the Jane Eyre Alexander doll. He hummed "The Imperial March" calmly!
"Shut up!" Lily was immediately amused. This is not Vader, this is Jane Eyre! The Jane Eyre I have been looking for for a long time! She was happy and excited, and reached out to take it, but he raised his hands and said seriously, "Young lady, you have to pass an assessment before you can get it." She laughed angrily: "What!? "
"Today is Veterans Day, so Jane Eyre wants to know your attitude towards war before she can decide whether to follow you. She doesn't want to become a soldier one day and be nicknamed 'Deaf' by her instructors and comrades" "
Before she could figure out what it meant, Lily¡¯s smile became even brighter, ¡°Why ¡®deaf¡¯?¡±
"Because it's called Jank-Ear (useless ear), you know this is the English level of Americans." Ye Wei looked helpless.
"HahaI understand" Lily couldn't help laughing, Jane-Eyre, Jank-Ear, her shoulders were shaking with laughter, "Do you hate Jane Eyre that much?"
Ye Wei stared and smiled: "It's not me, the army is like that! Come on, give me your answer."
"OK, OK" Lily suppressed her smile, frowned, and pretended to be serious: "War sucks. I hope the world will be peaceful." This is the truth!
"Okay, may the world be at peace, and may the Force be with you and me," Deaf'It's yours. "Ye Wei solemnly handed the Jane Eyre doll to her with both hands, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are a war madman, since it is deaf and can't hear what you say. "
Lily couldn't help laughing again, and took the ancient doll. Her mood was indescribable, joyful, touching, and dreamy She held the doll, looked at him with bright eyes softly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, this gift means so much to me." It¡¯s very heavy, I like it very much, thank you.¡±
"Take good care of it." Ye Wei shrugged and said, feeling happy in his heart. This was the most correct hundred yuan he had ever spent.
The handover ceremony was completed. The two looked at each other a few times, and an unknown atmosphere quietly arose. They both wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to say it. They just laughed a few times.
Ye Wei took the initiative and said: "That's it? Or, let's hang out for a while, it's still very early"
"Well, um ok." Lily agreed softly, her heart beating a little faster, and her own explanation rang in her heart: "It's not a date with him. After all, I just received a gift from him. It would be too rude to refuse. It's not a date. , just hanging out!¡±
"Then where are we going?" she asked.
¡°How about the Barrington Dog Park? It¡¯s a lot of fun there.¡±
"Yes, that's fine right there."
At the moment, the two pushed their bicycles towards the east. They could reach their destination in 15 minutes by bicycle, but they wanted to walk first and have more time to digest the current situation.
There were not many vehicles coming and going on the avenue. The two of them leaned on the roadside and chatted as they moved forward. They passed by the gardens of every house. There were always children playing and chasing each other on the lawns. The flowers, plants and trees were still luxuriant, making it hard to feel the early winter. cold.
"Can I ask you, what are you busy with at school today? Operation Cuttlefish?" Lily was really curious. She went back to school even during the holidays, but she asked herself that she couldn't do it.
"It's a big thing." Ye Wei turned to look at her and told her it didn't matter, and said: "I am raising money for a film production project of my own. The initial goal is 500,000 US dollars."
"Ah? Are you telling the truth?" Lily couldn't help but be confused. His expression and tone were serious, but what he said made people feel absurd. Movie producer? Ninth grader? 500,000?
"Really, many people in the school have joined. They believe in me and they are all good people." Ye Wei smiled and looked at her, "I understand, it is hard for you to believe it now, but one day in the future, you will I was shocked by the reality. When the time comes, think about my words, 'I told you so.'"
Lily didn¡¯t understand the situation, she just thought he was joking, or referring to the school film festival, and exaggerated the amount, so she nodded with a smile: ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for that day.¡±
When talking about the movie, she remembered something again, and said seriously: "I want to say once again that I'm sorry about "Wedding Day is Coming" and the rumors about you in school."
"No, "Wedding Day is Coming" failed to knock down my family. I am already very lucky and proud."
Ye Wei took a breath. This was the first time he had confided this to others after the accident happened. Unexpectedly, the target turned out to be her, "I don't want it to be an injury, but a warning and an inspiration, so that I can make good decisions." Change. In the past, I lived under the wings of my parents and only knew how to seek; but now, I am different. I understand responsibility, how to leave the wings of my parents, grow up, and then protect the family who love you. ¡±
Lily listened, and her heart couldn't help but ripples. She didn't expect that he could be so serious and mature, and he didn't seem to be just a cynical bastard
"I want to make movies just to achieve this goal. Maybe you will think, 'What kind of movie can a child under 16 years old make?'"
He paused and said firmly: "But I don't think so. It all depends on whether we work hard and pursue it. Sometimes, you have to make yourself fanatical and paranoid. Don't think so much. Don't Ignore what others say, be firm in your goals, firmly believe that you will succeed, and keep going, no matter what, keep going.¡±
"Yes" Lily nodded and looked at the young face that seemed to be radiating light. If it was mature before, it is now more sophisticated
She has seen many outstanding peers who often let others see their naivety. He gives her that feeling now, but it is a little different. He is not a superior role model or opponent, but someone who can lead you forward together. partner
"Ye, I felt that way just now." She didn't know what she wanted to say, trying to explain: "But as our school motto says, 'They can do it because they think they can', I think no matter what you have If you plan, you must stick to your own ideas, even if no one thinks highly of you.¡±
"Thank you, I will." Ye WeiFeeling her encouragement, my heart felt hot, "Call me Wei, Wei Ge is fine, but in Chinese, it sounds like Brother Wei, so."
Lily smiled when she heard this: "That's fine, Wei!"
"Lily." Ye Wei also smiled and asked, "What about you? Do you have any goals?"
"I don't know yet" Lily thought about it and shook her head uncertainly: "Maybe become a program hostlike a talk show? Well, I am very motivated to become the youngest talk show host"
But it was just an idea. She really didn¡¯t think about it that much, but she felt that she thought a lot among her peers aged 14-16. At least she wasn't interested in the sisterhood and the topic of what color nail polish to wear.
"Talk show? Then you really need to practice your eloquence if you don't want to be called Limbs Collins."
Ye Wei laughed loudly after saying this, and pressed the bicycle bell. It made a tinkling sound, as if it was also laughing.
"Asshole." Lily glared at him with a smile and kicked his bicycle. Limbs is a colloquial saying that means legs, especially the legs of a beautiful woman. His joke is that if you are not eloquent enough, you will only be able to attract attention to her legs
"I admit that your eloquence is better than mine at the moment, but I'm not bad either, Viper!" she countered.
"Oh! This has already hurt me." Ye Wei looked surprised. Viper means poisonous snake, drug addict, drug dealer, sinister and vicious person none of them are good! He said angrily: "My joke is also a kind of compliment, but your joke will only offend the guests!"
"This is a special treatment for you, and other guests don't get it." Lily also smiled and rang the bell of her bicycle, ding ding ding.
"You are really mean." Ye Wei said with a smile, and a natural thought came to her: "Don't you want to sing? The youngest Grammy winner?" Her father is a rock star.
"No talent, no interest" Lily's smile faded slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it. She looked worried, and then she said after a while: "I don't like others to treat her as 'Phil Collins' daughter' I, I am me, nothing else, do you understand?¡±
A guy who wants to prove himself independently? Or a girl who always resents her father? Ye Wei nodded, "Okay, but you know, that will always be a fact."
Lily hummed slightly: "Yes, I just wantI don't know"
"Hey, stop talking about this, let's have something fun!" Ye Wei suddenly interrupted her confusion and suggested enthusiastically. They just seemed like friends, and they talked about so many serious things to do, whether it was hanging out or dating, weren't they all for fun?
"What?" Lily didn't think about it anymore, her eyes lit up with interest.
"Well, it's a bicycle race. Whoever gets to the park first wins! The loser will be punished by barking at the dogs a few times, and then¡ª¡ª"
Before Ye Wei finished speaking, he pushed the bicycle while running, jumped on the seat, stepped on it wildly, and flew towards the park like the wind.
"Hey wait! Start over, I'm not ready yet!" Lily quickly got on the bike and chased after her, "Mine is not a mountain bike, that's not fair!!"
"Girl, there is no such thing as fairness in this world, there is only victory and defeat, hahahaha¡ª¡ª"
"It's not fair, but you will still lose! Wait!"
On the trees beside the quiet avenue, a few squirrels were looking for food. Two laughing bicycle figures passed by one after another, letting their eyes follow them.
