    Under the warm sunshine in the morning, the Hummer drove smoothly on the road. The vehicles passing it probably didn't know that the driver was a screen star.

    A luxury car is a luxury car. Although Ye Wei was sitting on a folding chair, it was still very comfortable. It made people dream that one day they would be able to drive such a good car.

    "So, you are the grandson of a veteran?"

    As soon as the car drove onto the road, Lalu asked Ye Wei questions with great interest. At this time, there was another question. She was the granddaughter of a veteran.

    Speaking of his grandfather, Ye Wei became a little serious and nodded: "Yes, my grandfather is a Chinese soldier. He participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang and received the third-class Baoding Medal."

    In fact, except for him, no Willis here knows what the Battle of Taierzhuang is, nor does they know that the Medal of Baoding was the third highest military medal in China at that time. They do not know that it represents the honor of defending against foreign aggression and defending the country. It tells the story of that full-scale battle.  It is a history of loyal and brave defense of the country with blood.

    These are not lies. The medal is hanging on the wall of Ye Wei's room. But the reason why he answered like this was not to say how powerful his grandfather was, but to clarify his grandfather's party.  He has no problem with historical choices, but who knows what Willis thinks.

    Later, the Korean War and the Vietnam War occurred. To be honest, although he grew up in the United States, he inherited his grandfather's passion since he was a child and believed that only China was a place worth his life to defend.  Especially after traveling to China several times as a child, he became excited when talking about how the Chinese army taught MacArthur a lesson during the Korean War. For a while, he even wanted to tell everyone: "Veterans never die, they just get their butts kicked by the Chinese."

    But these thoughts cannot be revealed at all now. Willis¡¯s father is an American soldier!

    However, he saw in the rearview mirror that Willis's expression had not changed, and he still had his trademark smile. He obviously didn't care about these words.

    Of course it was uncomfortable for the glory and pride in his heart to be considered worthless by others, but Ye Wei knew that he should not continue this topic, and if Miss Willis took the lead in talking about it, he would definitely accomplish nothing in the end.  The image that Willis should remember is not the grandson of an army officer or the son of a dentist, but that of a teenage filmmaker!

    "Then has he killed anyone?" Lalu continued to ask, quite interested.  Belle on the other side squeaked in disgust, "I hate killing."

    "He has killed many Japs." Ye Wei answered seriously, "They invaded China during World War II, so they deserve to be killed. If I talk to my Japanese friends about World War II, I will tell them the same thing, and it makes sense.  Yes, we have no problem; stupid, let me just say, you are still Japs."

    "We can't continue. There is no benefit in revealing one's political leanings. This should be a taboo topic!"

    There are less than 7 minutes left!  Ye Weizhen hoped that Ramo could help and pull him out of this quagmire. However, Ramo in front was gesturing with his fingernails and had no interest in talking.

    He had no choice but to save himself, grabbed an idea, and said: "War is terrible. War will distort people. Whether they are invaders or defenders, they will be scarred in the end. Mr. Willis, like in "Hart's War"  There, you said that thought-provoking line: 'In war, we are all losers.'"

    These words should be pretty good, right?  At least Willis knew that he didn't just write down the movie's title, he had actually seen it.

    "Yeah." Willis responded, but didn't have any special reaction. He seemed to be concentrating on driving.

    Ye Wei then thought about it, the box office performance of "Hart's War" was very poor, with a cost of 70 million, it only received 30 million in global box office, and the reviews from film critics were only barely passing, so it's better not to continue talking about it.

    He knew that Ramo really wouldn't help, even in the slightest, so he had to forcefully change the topic: "It's easier to tell a story like "Little Miss Sunshine". This script is really a legend. Focus Movies has changed it again and again in the past few years.  I was annoyed and just sold it to me. In fact, the script was revised very well, and I got a good deal.¡±

    "Haha." Willis smiled, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the turning road.

    Ye Wei finally discovered that this folding chair was not that comfortable. As time passed by, he was unable to show off his skills and was in a dilemma, because it was obvious that Willis did not want to talk about "Little Miss Sunshine" anymore for the time being and would continue talking on his own.  , will only annoy the big shots.

    Damn Ramo, you have such a long face!  If she had a few words to talk about the movie, because it was his daughter who talked about it, Willis would feel completely different

    "Ye, you seem to know a lot about movies." Lalu said suddenly.

    Thanks!  Lovely Lalu!  Forgive your previous offense!  !  Ye Wei suddenly shouted in his heart that her words really helped him a lot.

    ??He immediately laughed and said: "I can't be humble about this. Haha, my dad is a movie fan, so I was deeply influenced. I grew up watching movies as a child. You know I started shooting short films with Super 8 when I was 10 years old.  I also bought a lot of film textbooks to study. I even went to USC to attend lectures when I had time, and often went to UCLA to attend lectures. This is called Trojans in one hand and Brown Bear in the other, haha!¡±

    This time it was half a lie and half the truth. Anyway, he does have this ability.

    "Really?" Ramo spoke, but he questioned lazily, "What about your short films? Didn't you bring them?"

    "I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring" Ye Wei smiled, breaking into a cold sweat because of these words. Her question was reasonable. If she wanted to show that she understood movies, she should have brought a short film and submitted it together, but  He brought no images.

    Needless to say, his image as a "young filmmaker" is on the verge of crumbling and he is about to become a "young braggart", which is not a good thing

    What to do, what to do His eyes glanced left and right. The car was moving forward rapidly, and the scenes outside the windows on both sides kept regressing.

    Suddenly an idea flashed, and Ye Wei said quickly: "Let's put it this way, if we are in a movie scene now, how should we shoot it? I will use five lenses!"

    Under the interested eyes of LaRue and Belle, he spoke almost without thinking: "First, the driving shot in front of the car, medium shot, deep depth of field, through the windshield, clearly captures the five of us;  Second, a driving shot in front of the car, medium close shot, shallow depth of field, for Mr. Willis; third, an insert shot, Mr. Willis¡¯ hand clicks on the radio, and light music plays; fourth, outside the car  Panoramic shot, shooting the car speeding down the road, music is playing, and the voice-over of my words has been ringing from the beginning; fifth, long shot, deep depth of field, our car has reached the destination, slowed down and stopped  , my voice-over was just finished, and the music faded out.¡±

    He smiled and said: "Also note that all shots cannot cross-the-line!"

    "Wow." Lalu was a little dumbfounded. Although he could only understand half of it, he knew that he really understood.

    Rameau couldn¡¯t help but frown, so he used these little talents to charm Lily Collins?

    ¡°That¡¯s a good shot.¡± ??Willis also said with a smile.

    Ye Wei felt as if he had found a treasure, his smile became even brighter, and he thanked him repeatedly. In fact, this was just a routine driving shooting, nothing extraordinary, but at least his image has changed a lot

    "What is over-the-top?" Belle suddenly asked.

    "Uh" Ye Weiyi paused for a moment. Off-axis is a photography term. It is caused by improper camera placement and post-production cutting that breaks the 180-degree principle and causes gaps between consecutive shots.  The axis is confused, causing the audience to misunderstand.

    It¡¯s hard to explain this state clearly in words¡­if you have to say it¡­

    The image is actually two-dimensional. The audience relies on the camera position, depth of field, etc. to have a sense of up, down, left, and right directions. Once the axis is crossed, the sense of direction will be lost, causing split-looks.  To give a simple analogy, in the previous shot, the actor walked out of the camera range from the right side of the screen; in the next shot, he had to walk into the camera from the left side of the screen. If he appeared from the right side, it would make people feel like he turned around and walked away.  Going back instead of going all the way forward, even if in fact he was.

    So no matter how the camera changes or the lens moves, it must not cross the axis, otherwise there will be a lot of low-level mistakes, such as two actors talking with their backs to each other.

    " However, such a complicated thing cannot be understood by a 9-year-old girl who has never studied photography. He has to explain it in a simple and interesting way so that she can understand it and win her father's favor.

    There was no time for him to think too much. In a moment or two, he came up with a quick-witted explanation: "The overstep is that the film crew was drunk, and the most important thing is the recorders. They were so drunk that they were in a mess."

    Willis kept smiling, and Belle immediately had a new question: "What is a record?"

    A recorder is a person who specializes in recording various on-set data, one of which is the details of these shots to ensure that they do not cross the axis or cross the line.  For example, in a typical double-crossing scene, the character was obviously blind in his left eye before, but the next time he comes out, he is blind in his right eye. This is the negligence of the scene manager, and he must take full responsibility.

    But Ye Wei still couldn't explain it like this. The cold sweat on the back of his neck turned into hot sweat. He smiled and said: "The record is the creditor. You have forgotten when and how much you lent him, but he still remembers it and keeps reminding you.  You. If he doesn't remember, then he has less money.

    Belle couldn¡¯t understand the humor, but the other three could. If the recorder made that kind of stupid mistake, of course he would be fined.

    Lalu smiled, and Ramo also showed an annoyed look.Willis even laughed out loud: "It's a very fitting description, young man, you know a lot about movies."

    Yes, Sheriff!  !  Ye Wei excitedly clenched the briefcase in his arms. With this compliment, the goal was basically achieved!  Now the big shot has this impression: "This guy knows a lot about movies! He has a very interesting script!" He smiled and said: "Sir, as I said before, I love movies."

    Now that the goal has been achieved, he will not continue to talk about movies without knowledge. He is too anxious to eat hot tofu. This time is enough. What should he do if he is bored with the three princesses?

    So he no longer takes the initiative to maintain this topic, but is ready to take the initiative. There are about 3 minutes left. Come on, princesses, just ask what you want to ask!

    Sure enough, as soon as he stopped talking, LaRue asked curiously: "Ye, are you and Lily Collins boyfriend and girlfriend?"

    Ye Wei stared and said truthfully: "No, we are just friends, but we are dating."

    "Wow, you guys are dating? She didn't tell me that." Ramo said in a teasing tone, "She's talking about ordinary alumni." LaRue curled her lips and said, "I want to date too, but you're dating Collins.  If you don't, I won't look for you." Willis just smiled and did not join the young man's conversation.

    ¡°Little girl, you are not my type.  Ye Wei said in his heart, and at the same time replied to Ramo: "It's just one or two dates, nothing is confirmed."

    "Lily Collins?" Belle suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "Is it the one with thick eyebrows? Her father is a British rock star!"

    "Her father is much better at music than our old guy. Old guy, how many records did your band sell?" Ramo joked and sarcastically asked his father.

    "I don't remember either, haha." Willis laughed, "But my movie box office is much better than Phil's. Girls, the world is like this. Some people sing and some act."

    Belle was still asking: "Her eyebrows are very thick, aren't they?"

    "Yes, but I think thick eyebrows are just as beautiful as light eyebrows." Ye Wei's answer did not offend both sides.

    "But hers is too thick, it's weird" Belle frowned her slender eyebrows, "If I were her, I would pull out part of it."

    Ye Wei spent the last three minutes with the three princesses talking about Lily Collins' eyebrows. It was much easier to deal with, and Willis said nothing more.

    Soon, Ye Wei got out of the car on the side of the road and watched the Hummer drive away. After standing for a while, he suddenly jumped up in excitement, waved his clenched fists, and shouted to the sky: "  Well done! You are a genius!¡±

    I have a sour, depressed, and I feel humble  but what are those, do it!  The goal was achieved perfectly!  !  King of the world?  No, I am the King of the Universe!  !  !

    ¡°Hahaha¡ª¡ª¡± He smiled excitedly, pedaling his bicycle continuously like kicking a football on the sidewalk, knocking down the defensive player, and suddenly took a shot!

    The goalkeeper jumped high, but

    The ball is scored!  !  !  GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!  !  !

    Absolute blind spot, crazy hat trick!  !  !

    "I did it!" He raised his head and shouted again, pointing his index fingers at the sky, and dropped his briefcase to the ground.  This puzzled passers-by, who looked at him as if they were crazy.

    Who cares!  Ye Wei couldn't stop laughing and took out his cell phone to call Lily.

    Happy to be happy, he is clear about the situation. Now the first thing to do is to wait for Willis's reply after reading the script. What will happen is not something he can control.

    The other thing to do is to attack other targets, but before that, there is one more important thing!  As Ramo said, why not bring a short film?  If someone asks him to prove that he understands movies next time, what should he show?  There is no basis for what you say!

    You must actually shoot something, otherwise even Lily and other friends of the same age cannot convince you, how can you convince big stars?

    Just after dialing, it took almost no more than three seconds for the connection to come through, and Lily's nervous clear voice came out: "Is it over?"

    "Guess what?" Ye Wei said and couldn't help laughing, "I just can't stop this game."

    When Lily heard his unserious tone, she knew something good was up, and she laughed crisply, "Did you mess it up?"

    "I messed up at first, but luckily I cast black magic, haha! Also, thank you for your eyebrows!" Ye Wei walked forward and told her with a smile
