    "Go, go, goal! Ale, ale, ale!"

    The cell phone ringtone "Cup of Life" resounded throughout the room. Ye Wei, who was playing football, stopped immediately, ran to the table and picked up the phone to see, there was a call from Lily!

    "Hi, how are you?" Ye Wei's slight gasping voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation.

    "What's wrong with you?" Lily seemed confused.  Ye Wei sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "I just beat Willis and forced him to agree. This is a kind of black magic." Lily thought of his "superstar punching bag" and laughed: "Maybe it's true.  It¡¯s useful.¡±

    It seems that things are going well!  Ye Wei said hurriedly: "What, what?"

    "After I called Ramo, I first introduced to her who you were, some of your recent deeds, and your production plan. She almost knew everything. She was shocked by your idea, but, I  Let's be honest, she thinks you're a stupid, crazy, arrogant guy, and that's what she said, 'He must be high.'"

    "Maybe."

    "Then I said some nice things to you, but it couldn't change her attitude. She still said that you were 'childish, idiotic and crazy. You can't succeed and have no chance at all.' I don't think you can blame anyone, she doesn't think so at all."  Knowing you, if it were me, I would probably think the same way. Ramo also said that she knew her father. Although Willis is a person who is not afraid of taking risks and likes to try new things, he is not to this extent, working with a group of middle school students.  Let¡¯s play movies together.¡±

    Lily paused for a moment, "I haven't told her yet that you want to be the director of the project."

    "It's better not to say anything for now." Ye Wei knew that even Lily didn't agree.

    "Yes, so I can only change my words to make her accept it. I said, just treat it like you are a crazy fan who does so many things just to see Willis. I implore her to help you realize this wish.  . I wouldn¡¯t dare ask Ramo to tell her father about it, it would be terrible.¡±

    "Absolutely, thank you Lily, you handled it very smartly and very well." Ye Wei praised, Lamo like this is not a help, she also needs to be convinced.

    "Well, then I repeated this request to give you a chance to meet your idol. This thing went smoothly, haha, we got it! But it's not the kind of opportunity to meet you specifically. It will be tomorrow morning, Ramo and  "Her father would go to the Ivy in West Hollywood for breakfast, and you'd show up there at the right time and you'd meet them."

    "Tomorrow!?" Ye Wei couldn't help but exclaimed.

    "Yes, tomorrow, around 8:00 in the morning." Lily's voice was apologetic, "Yi, this is all I can do. I know this opportunity is not very good, and you should not be ready. I will tell you  Ramo said, she said it doesn¡¯t have to be tomorrow, you can wait a few days, but it¡¯s still this way.¡±

    "Let me think about it"

    Ye Wei stood up and walked around while thinking about it. No matter how he met, of course he would be more prepared to meet such a big shot, showing off his professionalism, talent and seriousness, such as production plans, script analysis, storyboards, etc

    It would be better to have a real short film. You said you can make a movie?  I also said I can make space rockets!  A good short film that is seen with one's own eyes is worth a thousand words.

    But tomorrow¡¯s opportunity is really rare, so it might not be a good start.

    He thought and said: "Tomorrow is fine too. This matter cannot be successful in just one or two meetings and conversations. The point now is It's not about me as a person, nor about the company Dream Chaser Alliance. It's  How about the script! If Willis has no interest in it, then we should end this goal; but if he is even remotely interested, we should continue to try to impress him and convince him!"

    This is the current situation. What you want to say to Willis is not "I have the ability to be a director" or "We have the ability to produce". What should I say to Willis?  This is a great script for you!

    This is the most important thing, let Willis read the script of "Little Miss Sunshine" and arouse his interest!

    "Yes, I agree, that's the case." Lily also understood the situation clearly, and couldn't help but remind: "You must not say that you want to be a director, it will mess up."

    "I know, I know, I'm not really a fool." Ye Wei laughed, step by step, only when Willis falls in love with this script is the time to say this.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll reply to Ramo, tomorrow?¡±

    "Just tomorrow."

    At that moment, the two ended the call. After a while, Lily called Ramo and then called back to make an agreement.

    Tomorrow morning at about 8:00, Willis will drive the three Ramo sisters to the parking lot in front of the Ivy Restaurant. Then the four father and daughter will have breakfast at the outdoor table of the restaurant. At the usual speed, they will eat half a meal.?Hours or so.

    During this half hour, Ye Wei could show up and ask for an autograph, not as a stranger, but as a friend of a friend of Ramo¡¯s.  But be quick, and definitely don't bother talking about business, because this is a cozy moment for Willis and her daughters to enjoy. If they are disturbed for too long, they will get angry, and the restaurant security will kick Ye Wei out.

    Ye Wei had finished introducing himself and being a fan, so he went aside and didn't bother them.

    When the four of them finish their breakfast, they will buy it, get up and leave, walk to the parking lot at the door, get in the car, and drive away.  This process usually takes about five minutes, during which Ye Wei can come up and say what he wants to say to Willis, but it also depends on luck!

    Since the Ivy Restaurant is a place frequented by celebrities and celebrities, there will always be a group of paparazzi nearby. If someone happens to take pictures, Willis will be irritated and leave quickly with his daughters, so it is not a conversation.  It's a good time, unless Ye Wei wants to be scolded by Willis and go away.

    That¡¯s it, so Ye Wei has to adapt to the situation during the whole process. Ramo will not help him, it all depends on himself.

    With Ramo¡¯s consent, Lily gave her number to Ye Wei.

    After talking to Lily, Ye Wei called over with a very serious tone: "Hello, Miss Willis, thank you very much for your help."

    "If you want to say thank you, just tell Lily, I just do it for her sake." Ramo Willis' slightly hoarse voice came from the mobile phone. Her words were unceremonious and obviously full of disdain: "You'd better not do it.  It¡¯s too bad. Lily said you are very eloquent, but that old guy is not a child and won¡¯t go crazy just because of your few words. Don¡¯t hold out any hope.¡±

    "Thank you, I will pay attention." Ye Wei responded, thinking that he would wait and see, no matter what, I will work hard.

    "Well, I still have something to do, bye."

    After being hung up, Ye Wei shrugged. This girl¡¯s temper is as fierce as she looks!  He called Lily back and said, "It's done, it depends on tomorrow."

    "Wei, how about I'll go with you tomorrow?" Lily said an idea she just had, and it wasn't for a date. "I'm free, and Willis will be more patient with me here. My parents and he are both  It's a friend."

    "No, some things should be done alone." Ye Wei felt that the courtesy and patience would make Willis dissatisfied and make him look like a little girl.

    "Oh, okay." Lily didn't insist, and she should be aware of such shortcomings. She said encouragingly: "Then come on, move forward, Wolverine, let them change their minds!"

    "Wow, you know, I've been wanting to hear 'Move on, Wolverines' from a beautiful woman for over two years, and it's a shame it wasn't at a football game."

    "Hayou will hear it in the future, maybe, maybe not"

    The two chatted for a while, Lily really had to do her homework, and Ye Wei had to take the time to prepare, so he said goodbye.  But before he had even turned a few pages of the script, his phone rang again, and it was from an unfamiliar number. He pressed the connect button and said, "Hello?"

    A polite voice from a strange man came: "Hello, is this Mr. Ye Weiye? I am Michael Arndt, the screenwriter of "Little Miss Sunshine", sorry to bother you."

    "Oh, hello, hello!" Ye Wei immediately stood up from the chair, walked to the window, and said a little excitedly: "Michael, you wrote a great story. I want to tell you that your persistence before was absolutely absolute.  That¡¯s right, the ensemble cast is the soul of ¡°Little Miss Sunshine¡±, and all six characters are indispensable!¡±

    "Thank youthank you." Michael Arndt was obviously surprised, as if he didn't expect Ye Wei to be so enthusiastic.

    Ye Wei also heard it, looked at the starry night sky, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's been two days since we bought the script, and we haven't contacted you yet. I originally planned to settle down the matter in a few days, and I have the details  Let¡¯s have another interview for dinner regarding the production plan.¡±

    "It doesn't matter, I only found out today." Arndt said in a self-deprecating tone. The screenwriter has such a low status in the film industry. After the script is sold, he can no longer control anything, and it seems that everything has nothing to do with him.

    After getting to know each other and chatting, Arndt couldn't help but ask a question: "Weige, can you tell us about your investment plan?"

    "Of course, I plan to use overseas pre-sale copyright financing" Ye Wei said, saying that he is actively looking for superstars to join, and said: "Things have also made progress. It is not convenient to reveal who it is for the time being. I hope everything goes well.  "

    Arndt was speechless after hearing this, and his already anxious heart fell to the bottom of the ice. It was over. It was really an arrogant child leading a group of children to cause mischief!

    It¡¯s over. The script will either take another two years of work and remain a pile of paper. Maybe that¡¯s a good ending, because it will either be messed up.Go ahead, make it into something horrible It's over!

    "What?" Ye Wei heard the other party sigh, full of unconcealable sadness. It was not difficult to guess why, but now was really not the time to explain more, so he said: "You can't believe it, right? Although  Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m serious. Anyway, I¡¯ll contact you for dinner after Thanksgiving and we¡¯ll talk more about it then. Now I have to prepare for an important meeting, so that¡¯s it?¡±

    When Arndt said "goodbye", his voice was about to cry, which made Ye Wei grin and make a face. Brother, you will know later.

    After hanging up, Ye Wei got busy again, doing script analysis, writing story outlines, researching Willis' possible points of interest, and preparing a minute or two of speech

    In fact, during the "script craze" in the early 1990s, there was a creative craze in Hollywood about "how to get big shots to read my scripts." Everyone was coming up with fantastic ideas and new tricks, and some even used airdrops of supplies.  The purpose of sending the script to the big shots is to attract their attention and interest.

    But today in 2003, if anyone does this again, they will definitely be considered a freak by the big shots. However, the purpose remains the same: you must let the other party see your sincerity!

    This is also what gives Ye Wei the biggest headache, a novel way of delivering scripts that is both suitable for the current situation and can impress Willis

    Time passes at its own pace, and the night gradually gives way to dawn.

    Early in the morning, just after 6 o'clock, Ye Wei got up on his own initiative. After his morning exercise, he took a shower, put on a set of neat young clothes, and put the prepared script and other things into a black briefcase.  About to go out.

    Although it takes half an hour to drive from home to Ivy Restaurant, and the restaurant only opens at 7:30, which is more than an hour before the scheduled 8:00, it is better to arrive early than to be late.

    "Dad, Mom, I'm out!"

    ¡°Dong dong dong,¡± Ye Wei shouted as he walked down the stairs, with Totu happily wrapped around him.

    He looked around for a few times and saw his mother taking care of Duoduo who had just gotten up in the dining room. His father, already dressed in white clothes for work, walked towards the door and asked, "Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a lift?"  you?"

    ¡°No need, I¡¯m going to West Hollywood, I¡¯m not on my wayDad, you really shouldn¡¯t have to work on weekends.¡±

    Ye Wei frowned. Due to the recent increase in work intensity, his father's face was more haggard than usual, and his eyes looked tired.  And my mother didn¡¯t know where she found the translation outsourcing job. These days, almost every table at home has stacks of documents to be translated, which is tiring to look at.

    "That's not possible. Several clients have made appointments." Ye Haogen smiled, but when he saw the briefcase in his son's hand, his smile suddenly froze: "You have to be busy with work too?"

    "No, I can't find anyone even if I want to be busy with work on Sunday. It's a breakfast date, so dressing up like this makes me look more mature." Ye Wei lied without blinking, picked up his briefcase, smiled and made some cool poses.

    "That's good." Ye Haogen smiled in relief upon hearing this, "You really don't need me to take you there? There's still enough time in West Hollywood."

    "No, if a girl sees me, I still have to rely on my father to carry me. That's too embarrassing."

    "Haha, I understand. Dad will leave first. Please pay attention to safety and have fun."

    When his father walked out of the door, Ye Weicai breathed a sigh of relief. He felt both stressed and motivated. He must not mess up today!

    He straightened his collar and strode out of the door, facing the bright morning sun. When you first went out to explore, you were still an unknown person. When you come back, you are already a superstar!
