    What?

    Hearing Ramo¡¯s words, the other three people at the table were startled. LaRue and Belle looked at each other. So this handsome Asian guy was not a passerby, but had a plan to meet him?

    Willis looked at his eldest daughter and then at the boy. The two deep nasolabial folds were grinning because of a thicker smile: "Is that so? But I still can't give you an autograph or a photo, otherwise it would be unfair to the other customers here.  ." He said and put the phone aside.

    "Yes, I can understand." Ye Weiyi smiled and said in his heart: Sheriff, I don't want any damn autographs and photos, what I want is an opportunity.

    Seeing that the waiter hadn't served the meal yet, Willis didn't seem to be angry. The frown just now was probably not an annoyance. He felt a little relieved, quickly analyzed the situation at hand, and said with a smile according to the script: "I can see you in person.  One side is enough. Of course, the better thing is to talk about movies with you. I love movies. I really want to thank Ramo for her help this time. She is a warm-hearted and good person."

    Ramo drank the pre-dinner coffee expressionlessly and said with his eyes: "Have you finished introducing yourself? Why don't you step aside? Don't forget, this old guy has a very bad temper."

    "It's good that young people like movies." Willis still had the same smile and no look of impatience.

    Ye Wei is not the kind of reckless man who does not know what is good or bad. The man in front of him is a great actor, and his true thoughts will not be easily shown on his face.

    Willis has already said three sentences, and it¡¯s almost time to retreat. After he finishes this sentence

    Ye Wei continued to say the prepared sentence with a smile: "Mr. Willis, the feeling of seeing you in person is very different from watching you on the screen. It feels like a superhero is real, and  His three lovely daughters.¡±

    "Haha!" Willis laughed, looking very happy. He didn't know if it was really useful. He looked at his daughters, "Watching them grow up, I feel old too."

    "Yes, you old monster" Ramo put his chin on the dining table with one hand and rolled his eyes. What this old guy dislikes the most is people calling him old, what does he think?  ridiculous.

    "No, not at all." Ye Wei smiled flatteringly, not stupid enough to say "yes."

    "Hey, how old are you?" At this time, the second lady Lalu suddenly asked.

    This really gave Ye Wei a chance to continue talking, but there were advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that Willis would soon know his true age, and he was younger than he looked.  But he still had to answer truthfully: "15 years old, 16 years old in February next year."

    "Oh, you don't look like it." LaRue said and looked at the handsome Asian guy again.  But Willis didn't care, his expression remained unchanged.

    The third girl, Belle, suddenly asked, "What school are you from?" Ye Wei replied, "Harvard-Westlake, ninth grader." Belle was only 9 years old after all, so she asked the question as she pleased: "Why don't you go to Wilhelm?  Durwood School? The one where Rameau went to school.¡±

    Ye Wei suddenly had a thought in his mind. This question must be answered in a way that makes everyone happy, because Harvard-Westlake is much stricter than Wildwood. If the answer is not correct, it will lead to Willis being lax in teaching his daughter.  Ramo is stupid, a divorced and broken family neglects his children, a terrible father

    A cold sweat broke out on the back of his head. He couldn't hesitate, otherwise it would appear to be insincere

    Almost in an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he smiled and said: "Just because of color preferences, Chinese people like red, and I am no exception. The school colors of Harvard-Westlake are red and black, and Wildwood  It's green."

    "Oh, so you are Chinese." Belle had no idea that she almost stabbed the other person, and she was still asking: "China is on the other side of the earth, right? You can dig a tunnel to get there."

    "Yes." Ye Wei nodded, "I am a third-generation Chinese immigrant, born in Los Angeles."

    "Who is your friend?" At this time, LaRue asked again, and LaRue asked, curiously: "Harvard-Westlake?" LaRue said, "Lily Collins." LaRue said, "Yes.  , she is from Harvard-Westlake, are you and her good friends? "This time it was Ye Wei who asked.

    "Well, I asked her for help. We and some other classmates are working on a film project." Ye Wei answered with a smile again, already finding himself in a situation where two little girls were asking all kinds of questions. This was not good.  That's great, who knows what else they might ask

    "Actually, how about Harvard-Westlake? I'm wondering if I should study it in middle school?" Sure enough, LaRue asked again.

    Because this issue was related to the education of his second daughter, Willis also became interested and glanced at Ye Wei, wanting to hear what he thought of his school.

    Another dangerous question!  Ye Wei couldn't think too much and felt like he was walking on thin ice. He laughed and said, "It's good. Most students and parents agree."??That's the best school in the universe. I think they're a little over-the-top, but it's really one of the best middle schools.  The most interesting thing inside is that you can eat delicious food from all over the world in the cafeteria.  "

    "Cool." Lalu asked casually and did not continue.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity to prevent them from asking any more questions, Ye Wei knew it was time to retreat, so he said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. I wish you a happy breakfast."

    "Okay." Willis nodded with a smile, and the three Ramo sisters did not try to stop him.

    Ye Wei turned around and walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, he took a long breath and wondered if he had messed up.

    On a scale of 10, he would give himself a 6, because although Willis was not impatient, he did not mention anything about the movie. His image was just that of a 15-year-old ninth grader who wanted to see  Fans of idols are gone.

    Under the gaze of some customers, Ye Wei returned to the fence on the steps, guarding this only way, looking at the four Willis people from time to time, paying attention to their emotional changes.

    At the same time, the waiter served the four Willis meals one after another, including fresh crab cakes, fried steak, eggs, etc. They started eating and chatting while eating.

    After a while, Lalu suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye and said in surprise: "That's strange, he hasn't left yet, that Asian boy." Lamo also looked at the door and said, "He's waiting.  You still want to say something to the old guy." Belle also turned to look, "Where?"

    Now Willis had to pay attention and frowned slightly.

    "Why is he holding a briefcase?" Lalu had new doubts.  Ramo responded while cutting the steak: "Who knows." Lalu said funnyly: "He really looks like a poor puppy standing there like this." Ramo chewed the steak and said vaguely: "  He likes it himself."

    "How about I ask the waiter to ask him to go farther away?" Seeing that his daughters were troubled by this, Willis said.

    "Yes!" Belle nodded, although she had to turn half of her body to see Ye Wei.

    "Waiter!" Willis shouted immediately.

    Soon, the male waiter left the Willis table where four people were sitting, walked towards the confused Ye Wei, and politely issued an eviction order: "Sir, you are standing here and disturbing others' dining. Mr. Willis said that you should be invited  Go away some more.¡±

    "Oh, of course!" Ye Wei couldn't help but change his color slightly, his heart was blocked, he messed up a bit and made them dissatisfied.

    He quickly took the coffee and briefcase and walked down the steps. At this time, another waitress shouted: "Wait, sir, you never got your toast."

    "OK, OK, give it to me." Ye Wei saw the waitress coming behind him holding a dinner plate with three or four pieces of toast, but he really didn't have any hands to hold it, so he had to put down the coffee and put a few pieces of toast down.  He took the piece of toast and held it in his mouth, then picked up the coffee, and then hurriedly walked outside the restaurant.

    "Haha, he's so funny!" Belle over there laughed endlessly at his embarrassed look, "His mouth is so wide open, haha!"

    Ramo and Lalu really felt a little uncomfortable, seeing a peer of their age in such a miserable state, driven away by them.

    Willis chuckled: "Don't worry about him, let's have breakfast. Where are we going to travel during the Thanksgiving holiday in a few days? It's all up to you."

    On the other side, Ye Wei hurriedly left the fence of the restaurant and came to the parking space opposite. He wolfed down the pieces of toast and swallowed hard. He patted his back a few times and drank the coffee in one gulp.  After being exhausted, he threw the coffee cup into the nearby trash can, coughed, and looked at the distant table of superstars sharing their family happiness.

    I need a chanceI need a chance

    Ye Wei slightly raised his head and looked at the blue sky. Not only in his dreams, this was the first time he had experienced these things today, so humble and so careful.

    Although he seemed quite friendly on the scene, in fact he was nothing. If he said the wrong thing and affected his vision, the big shots would immediately fall out.

    No one said this was easy Ye Wei thought about his family, his friends in the Dream Chaser League, and Lily He said silently in his heart: "Wei, welcome to the real world! But it's nothing.  , It¡¯s nothing, everyone, everything will be fine.¡±

    He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lily: "Everything is going well for now! We haven't talked about the script yet. We'll talk about it after they finish the meal. I'll let you know the result."

    In almost ten seconds, Lily replied to the text message: "Come on, just work hard. :-)"

    Ye Wei looked at it and smiled, girl, your smile is so beautiful.

    Half an hour gradually passed, and while waiting, the time came to 8:30.

    Although the distance was far away, Ye Wei kept paying attention to the target table. At this time, he saw Willis calling the waiter, and it was probably time to pay.  He cleared his throat with a few coughs and walked back quickly. The mission: to arouse Willis's interest in "Little Miss Sunshine" within the next five minutes, then hand the script to him and let him take it away.  !

    Back on the steps of the restaurant, when he saw the waiter leaving, Ye Wei immediately stepped forward and smiled at the four people who stood up to leave: "Mr. Willis, ladies, hello, it's me again! Ye Wei."

    "Oh, is there anything else?" Willis looked at him, and the three girls also glanced at him. Belle couldn't help laughing: "You were so funny just now."

    Ye Wei nodded to the little girl and said to her father: "In addition to wanting to meet my idol this time, I also have a script I want to show you."

    He spoke very quickly, but could still be heard clearly: "It's called "Little Miss Sunshine." It's a family road comedy, black humor, and a commercial film with a literary story. It has been created for more than three years and 30 drafts have been revised.  It was previously a project of Focus Film, but a few days ago Focus transferred it to the Dream Chaser Film Company founded by me.¡±

    "Oh?" Willis seemed to be listening as he walked outside, but his expression was indifferent, and he didn't know if he was really listening.

    Ye Wei followed him closely, blocking other customers who wanted to chat with the superstar, and not giving the three girls a chance to interrupt. He continued: "This is a crazy story: a failed and weird middle-class family participates in a children's beauty pageant.  The game was so noisy.¡±

    This is the synopsis of a sentence he carefully designed last night. He chose words such as Crazy, Fail, Freak, and General-Turmoil that are full of contradictions and conflicts. Each of them is very ordinary.  , but when put together with middle-class families, there is situational power.

    The synopsis leads to the introduction, the introduction leads to the outline, and the outline leads to the script itself, from one minute to ten minutes, from ten minutes to one hour, and then to a formal meeting. This is the "elevator pitch."

    "Then what is interesting?" Willis finally responded with a meaningful sentence, but it was not interest, but a question.

    Ye Wei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. In fact, all one-sentence summaries are very pale. Sometimes big shots will be interested, and sometimes they are not. It largely depends on the mood at the time. It is also Willis. Maybe I will hear this synopsis tomorrow.  , I was very interested in it, but when I heard it the day after tomorrow, I thought it was rubbish.

    And now, the big shot doesn¡¯t like the synopsis!

    But every precious second cannot be wasted!  He couldn't think too much and could only suppress his emotions and continue to lobby: "The whole script is full of fun. The drug-addicted grandfather will die in the middle. The little girl who has been preparing for the beauty pageant for a long time actually dances an adult dance on stage. There are other people,  All dreams were shattered.

    But it is not a tragedy, it is black humor. The audience will laugh at their failure, but they will be full of feelings in their hearts.  In the end, they didn't win the game, but they learned the true meaning of life.  That is, life is not just about success and failure, public life is never as important as private life, and families always love each other.  "

    "Oh, yes, it makes sense." Willis seemed to agree. He had already arrived at the Hummer. He took out the car key and pressed it. The car made a beep and the door was unlocked He then said, "Put the script in  Give it to me and I¡¯ll read it when I have time.¡±

    Oops!  Ye Wei couldn't help frowning, knowing that the other party had no interest at all. It was useless to give him the script. 99% of the time he took it back and threw it into the pile of scripts to be read, or threw it to the assistant script reviewer, and completely forgot about it in a few days.  That's it.

    Reality always happens unplanned. From the first sentence of his lobbying to now, it takes less than two minutes. How can there be five minutes?  He originally wanted to present a song on the harmonica while writing the script to add to the atmosphere and show his sincerity, because Willis has been playing in a blues band since he was young and has released albums. He is a harmonica player.

    In addition, the script itself is beautifully packaged, and there is a short-leaf cigar affixed to the cover. This is one of the tobacco and alcohol left by his grandfather, and Willis likes to smoke short-leaf cigars.  This cigar will make the difference in those 120 pages, and the sincerity.

    But now it¡¯s useless. The first step was screwed up. Willis has no interest in the script.

    At this time, the rear door of the Hummer opened, LaRue and Belle got in; the front door also opened, Lamo got in the passenger seat, and Willis turned to the driver's door

    Ye Wei stood by the car, forgetting to breathe. Either send him the script and his business card immediately, or say something to change the result

    say what?  What to say!  ?

    Everything seemed to have stopped. Willis approached the car door in slow motion. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like an explosion.In the interlacing lightning, the corner of the eye suddenly noticed Ramo, Lalu, Belle

    Suddenly, he caught one of the thoughts: Willis was a father with three daughters, and his three daughters were right next to him!

    "Mr. Willis! Please imagine a movie scene. You and your family finally arrived at the beauty pageant venue, but you were a little late. The registration officer was a mean old woman, and she rejected your registration. You looked disappointed.  Although my daughter was extremely angry, she knelt down to the old woman and begged her to give her a chance! How about this scene? This is the scene in "Little Miss Sunshine"!
