- After safely riding the roller coaster, at Ye Wei's suggestion, he and Anna's family came to the Fantasy Kingdom.
Ye Wei¡¯s original intention was to meet up with his family and then continue to accompany Anna¡¯s family to play. Unexpectedly, after the two families got acquainted, they found that they were very compatible!
After David and Janet got to know Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and the lovely Duoduo, the last doubts in their hearts disappeared immediately. After learning that Ye Haogen was a doctor, they gained even more respect. This is an upper-middle-class family with high culture and high literacy. , just like them.
Ye Haogen also admires David's career as an architect. Gu Qiao and Janet are both full-time housewives and devoted mothers of their children, and they also have endless topics to talk about.
Not to mention, both families are fond of movies, performances and other cultural and entertainment fields. The Ye family also made a movie
And Duoduo likes Anna, and Anna also likes Duoduo, and the two girls, one big and one young, quickly became new friends and good friends.
Knowing that until Christmas, Anna and Janet would be busy auditioning in Los Angeles, Duoduo kept inviting her to their home, and Gu Qiao was also enthusiastic. Anna's family naturally accepted the invitation and will visit Ye's house this Saturday.
This is already a "date" between families! If you have fun, then both parties become family-friends, and the two families will play together for the second and third time. There are roughly three types of family friends: those dominated by men, or those dominated by women and children. And for them, all three types match up and match very well.
Ye Wei watched her father and David laughing and chatting endlessly, her mother and Janet's parents were short-lived, Duoduo and Anna got tired of holding balloons together, can you imagine Toto and Bella? !
He was really dumbfounded. He felt like an outsider. He was so stupid. He should have been like this a long time ago. It turned out that the most convincing people were his family members!
It turns out that "Wedding Day is Coming" is also a good sign! Although it failed miserably at the box office, it was actually released anyway, with a production fee of 2 million! To big names like Willis, this is bullshit; but to ordinary people who love movies
I am the son of a film company boss! Ye Wei shouted in his heart that this identity would be very useful.
Next, the two families traveled together, watched the Disney character float parade, and visited several attractions. At night, they went to the terrace of the City of Tomorrow to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner and watch a beautiful fireworks show. They decided to go on Saturday It was time to say goodbye to the guests, and everyone was enjoying themselves contentedly.
In Ye Wei's view, Anna's appearance in "Dance of Angels" is 99% complete. Even if the student short film is not well shot, it will not have a bad impact. "Performance experience" that is not included in the resume can actually increase performance experience. , why should the agent stop it?
On the way home, Duoduo has fallen asleep sweetly. After returning, she will be handed over to Mrs. Langdon, a neighbor and friend, to help take care of her for one night.
Ye Wei, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao went to Costco in Marina del Rey to welcome Black Friday, perhaps the only Brentwood residents among the participants.
"Black Friday" is the Friday after Thanksgiving. On this day, major merchants across the United States offer huge discounts. Online merchants such as Amazon, on-site Walmart, Costco, Kroger, etc. start their promotion weeks in advance. There are many discounts on that day. The price of goods is even as low as 10% off, and there are countless discounts of 20% or 30% off.
So ordinary people, especially poor people, will not miss this opportunity and grab everything, from daily necessities to expensive electrical appliances that they usually cannot afford a shopping frenzy!
In recent years, competition among merchants has become increasingly fierce. Do you open the door at 6 a.m.? I'm at 4 o'clock! Are you at 4 o'clock? Then I¡¯ll have 2 o¡¯clock! 0 o'clockThursday night!
But Costco is a defender of tradition. It would rather miss the peak hours and still open its doors at 6 a.m. because it never worries about customers.
"Oh my!"
It was close to midnight when the three of them arrived at the parking lot next to Costco. It took them a long time to find a place to park their car and walked towards the gate. From a distance, they saw that there were crowds of people there. There were not even a thousand people but nine hundred. This made them think All thoughts of coming early were gone.
Some people even set up tents to spend the night, while more people stood in the cold night wind, chatting, playing with mobile phones, dozing off, and waiting
"It's still too late to leave now." Ye Wei looked at his parents. Because of the experience in the dream, he knew the meaning of "black" best here. He really didn't want his parents to step into that battlefield.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's assign goals" Gu Qiao looked at the shopping list and coupons in his hands. There were all kinds of things on the list, including toothpaste, shower gel, dog food, children's winter clothing, Christmas gifts ¡
The deeper the night gets, the more people arrive. The parking lot is quickly filled up. Thousands of people are crowded outside the closed door. Queuing has long been useless. Just wait for the supermarket door to open and you will be there.??The decisive moment of my life.
¡¡
UK, London.
Because of the time difference, it is 2 a.m. in Los Angeles, but it is 10 a.m. in London. There is no show atmosphere here. After Lily arrived yesterday, she went out with her father and family to play golf. This morning she went to the Duke's Lawn Golf Course in her hometown of Chiswick to play golf. .
The blue sky and white clouds, all you can see are green grass and trees, and there is a small lake in the distance. This environment is naturally intoxicating, but Lily is a little distracted.
She was wearing a smart white sportswear, holding a golf club in one hand and looking at her mobile phone in the other. The latest text message from Ye Wei early in the morning: "I found the female lead of the short film! Her name is AnnaSophia Robb, she's awesome." !" Because it was inconvenient to chat back and forth a lot, although she was very curious and happy, she only replied with a smiley face.
But now, she wants to chat with him But it's early morning over there, so he should go to bed.
¡°Lily?¡± Phil Collins, who was walking in front, noticed that his daughter had not followed and shouted back. His Asian wife Orian Sewei and his youngest son Nicholas also looked over.
"Here it comes." Lily put away her phone and walked up quickly with a smile on her face.
She followed behind, watching their family talking and laughing, watching her father teasing Nicholas happily from time to time, laughing so happily She couldn't get in the conversation, didn't want to speak, and swung the club casually, lost in thought. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard her father's concerned voice: "Lily?"
Phil Collins wrinkled his old face, followed his daughter's footsteps, and asked: "Why are you not energetic and still suffering from jet lag? Still feeling unwell? I heard your mother say that you had a bad cold before?"
"It's okay, I'm fine" The words of concern made Lily's heart block. The bad cold happened more than a month ago, so why are you asking now She hid her emotions and still smiled: "I just want to Something to do.¡±
"Oh." Phil Collins nodded, and then asked with concern: "Is it too hard at school?" He always didn't like his daughter studying at Harvard-Westlake because it was too strict. He wanted her to have a musical education. Traditional art school.
"No, I'm very happy at school." Lily's smile was a little more sincere this time. Her life has changed a lot recently, of course because of VIY
"That's good." Phil Collins looked at his daughter, wanting her to be happy, but he couldn't think of any ideas. Suddenly thinking about the student atmosphere at Harvard-Westlake, he smiled and said, "When you are 16, Dad gives you a sports car, you decide what brand it is, rock it!¡±
"It's still a long time." Lily smiled, not at all excited. Is it the traditional practice of Harvard-Westlake parents to give sports cars to their children, thinking they will be happy
"Dad, dad!" At this time, Nicholas shouted from the front, "Come on, come and take a look!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Phil Collins immediately ran up, with a smile on his old face.
Lily swung the club casually a few more times, frowned slightly, and followed slowly, missing the United States and that person more and more
¡¡
At the same time, in Las Vegas, Lev and Bud were frantically pressing the slot machines in the casino at Caesars Palace Hotel, yelling at the results; in Salt Lake City, Kerwin was sleeping; in Sacramento, Chen Nuo Singing karaoke with a bunch of cousins, brothers and sisters.
In Hawaii, Trieste and her family were participating in a bonfire party; in San Diego, Conte was admiring the night view on a luxury cruise ship; in New York, Li Ming was queuing up outside a nightclub, peeking at the scantily clad hotties passing by and swallowing. Drooling
Paris, Champs Elys¨¦es, Willis and his three daughters are shopping, shuttling through various luxury brand flagship stores, sometimes Louis Vuitton, sometimes Valentino
"Valentino?" When he was about to enter the store, Rameau grabbed LaRue and said disdainfully: "Can you be any lower class? Did Prada offend you?" LaRue retorted: "Then Valentino offended you?" Belle said angrily: "Can I buy both brands of bags?"
"Smart, this is my daughter!" Willis grinned with his nasolabial folds. Ramo and LaRue shrugged indifferently: "Then I've bought it."
¡¡
In Los Angeles, the time is getting closer to 6 a.m., and there is a bit of pre-dawn light in the sky. In front of the Costco gate, everyone is getting ready. All the tents are empty, and everyone is piled in front of the door. Only the last 5 minutes are left. ¡
"Open the door!", "Open the door!" The crowd was not so quiet, and there were gradually more and more excited shouts. Some spherical-shaped middle-aged women of various ethnic groups looked at the rows of rows through the glass door with fierce looks in their eyes. fullThe shelves are like the fat lady "Saint" in "Pink Flamingos" and her family who are proud of their filth.
Suddenly, someone began to attack the door of Costco. The supermarket employee behind the door shouted through a loudspeaker: "Everyone, please pay attention to safety and maintain order!"
Order? ! No one wants it for free! People's enthusiasm only rises but never falls, and more and more people bang on the door¡ª¡ª
Why is it called Black Friday? It¡¯s tiring for employees; for customers? Every year, fights, beatings, and even tramplings occur across the United States, resulting in injuries.
Only cheap, no safety! The people were cursing more and more: "Go to hell!", "Hurry up and open this damn door, or I'll kill you later!", "You bastards, stop crowding, you idiots, open the door!" !¡±¡
With only 3 minutes left, Ye Wei and the other three resisted the impact of the crowd behind them, like a big tree taking root, firmly occupying a position about five meters away from the door.
Boom! Suddenly, not quite yet, the glass door of the supermarket opened! ! !
"Ah!", "Fuck you!!" People shouted crazily, and a group of mad cows rushed into the supermarket, like a torrent!
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were inexperienced after all, so they were stunned at this critical moment
"Get away!!" But Ye Wei was different. His eyes were full of murderous intent. His parents came here and stood all night. What if they didn't grab something? ! He didn't care about anything and rushed forward. This time he was playing American football. He rushed in and scored a touchdown!
The employees behind the gate hurriedly stepped aside. They were all veterans and were not intimidated by the mad cows rushing in.
The goods near the door were some daily necessities, but they were still the targets of robbery. The "saints" rushed forward and took almost everything they saw. Since they can return it anyway, they can grab everything!
¡°Mine, this is mine!¡±, ¡°Give it to me!!¡±, ¡°Fuck your horse¡¯s bitch!¡±¡
Angry shouts and curses resounded throughout the supermarket. There were absolutely no children here, but poor people of all races and colors could be seen. Although they were poor, they had great strength, pushing, fighting, and fighting. , beating and scolding
There is a young figure among them, Ye Wei! He also got crazy and grabbed a lot of goods that he didn¡¯t know what they were, including shopping carts, damn shopping carts! ?
¡°Dad, Mom, where¡¯s the shopping cart!?¡± At this time, he looked back and saw no trace of his parents, only a steady stream of people rushing in.
A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and he woke up. He walked back and looked around, and suddenly he saw his mother sitting a few steps away from the door
"Mom!" He screamed, threw away what he was holding, and rushed over, "Mom! How are you, are you okay?!"
During the previous charge, Gu Qiao was knocked down by someone rushing up from behind. His hands were stepped on several times, and his arms and palms suffered from severe pain. Ye Haogen was helping her up, his face flushed, his eyes filled with self-blame
"Where are those things!?" Gu Qiao was nervous about another thing. He just saw Wei grabbing a lot, "Those shower gels"
"Fuck it! Fuck the shower gel!!" Looking at his embarrassed parents and the crowd still rushing around him, Ye Wei gritted his teeth and suddenly felt a fire in his heart, shouting with all his strength. : "Fuck Black Friday! Fuck Costco, FUCK!!"
Just for the discounted shower gel, to save a little moneyfuck Kevin Thomas, screw "Wedding Day", screw it!
Looking at their son, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao frowned, their hearts filled with powerlessness and guilt. All they could do was sigh.
