- "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to AnnaSophia, happy birthday to you¡ª¡ª"
At night, in the Westwood District, the house rented by Anna's family was brightly lit, and joyful singing was ringing in the spacious dining room.
There was a three-layered fruit cake with ten candles on the round dining table. The candlelight was swaying, and the table was surrounded by guests, including Toto and Bella, who were drooling at the cake.
Anna stood right in front of the cake. She was wearing a brand new white floral dress today. Her light golden hair still shone warmly, and she had a bright smile on her face. She really looked like a little angel. .
Because Anna¡¯s family doesn¡¯t have many personal friends in Los Angeles, the only guests today are Ye Wei¡¯s family, fellow young actor Taylor Dooley and her parents.
"Anna, make a birthday wish!" Janet smiled after singing happy birthday.
Anna looked at everyone, closed her eyes slightly, held her hands, and made a wish aloud: "I hope that my first studio performance can be good, I hope to get a movie role soon, and I hope that my current date can be good." Keep going!" She glanced at Ye Wei and blew out the candle in a few breaths.
"You made three wishes, but the birthday old man only has two ears, and the last one can't hear." Ye Weiai's helpless look made everyone laugh.
"But he still has a heart, he can feel it." Anna said very seriously, which made the adults even more happy. She and Tyler Dooley smiled and glared, "Well done!"
After making a wish, we started cutting the cake. The happiest ones were Toto and Bella, who each ate a big piece.
After that it¡¯s gift time. This country likes to open gifts in person. If there are greeting cards, you should also look at them, otherwise it will be arrogant and rude.
In the living room of the house, Anna opened gifts one after another in public. The adults gave them children's toys, learning supplies, etc. at reasonable prices. Taylor Dooley gave a delicate bead bracelet, and Duoduo gave a baby. baby.
As for Ye Wei¡¯s gift, Anna left it until the end to open it. Her face was full of anticipation, and everyone was a little curious, what could it be?
The gift box was not big, and there was a greeting card tied with a ribbon on it. Anna took out the card and read it, and muttered: "Happy 10th birthday to AnnaSophia Robb!" Then it was gone, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed. Looking at Ye Wei, "That's just it"
"Anna!" David and Janet both shouted. It was so rude. When receiving a gift, no matter whether you like it or not, you have to say that it is great and say that you like it very much. This is etiquette.
"Haha!" Everyone saw Ye Wei laughing loudly: "I fooled you, I prepared two greeting cards, and this one!" He magically took out a rolled drawing paper from his sleeve, Unfolded, it turned out to be a sketch, Anna¡¯s smiling face!
"Wow!" Anna exclaimed truly, "This is great!"
She quickly took it, her big eyes widened, and she couldn't get enough of it. There was also a line of pen-written congratulations and Ye Wei's signature in Chinese and English. She read: "Anna Sophia Rob, now you are just a person." A 10-year-old girl, but in the future, you will be a great actor and a big star."
"The painting is so good!", "What a resemblance." Everyone also laughed and praised, Taylor Dooley was almost envious, Duoduo said coquettishly: "Brother, I want it too!"
This gift was enough for Anna to be happy. The gift box had not been opened yet. When she opened it, she saw that it was a beautiful small mirror with a copper handle. On the mirror, "Ah-NaSophia" was written with an indelible marker, although it was covered. A little space, but it seems to have some deep meaning.
Everyone was curious, and when Anna was about to ask, Ye Wei explained: "Ana, I think you will definitely become a famous child star in the future. What kind of impact and changes will fame bring to your life? That's something you can't imagine now. I don¡¯t know. I just want to wish you happiness forever.¡±
"If one day, whether because of success or failure, you feel that you are lost, then look in this mirror, maybe you can find yourself again."
David and Janet were both moved by it. Du Lei¡¯s parents were full of praise. Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao looked at each other with a smile. On the contrary, their son is the most considerate and considerate person here.
"Thank you" Anna was still young and could not fully understand what he meant, but she was very moved and knew that he was thinking about her. She nodded: "This is the best gift I have ever received, both of them!"
No one was offended. When it came to feelings, no one could compare to Ye Wei this time.
"Cool." Ye Wei laughed. It seems that Costco really has a lot of good stuff. You should go shopping again when you have time.
¡¡
When December 9th and 10th become a thing of the past, the preparations for "Dance of Angels" will be completed??Achieving 99%!
Darum had already sent the prepared filming schedule to every crew member. In terms of equipment, they had also made reservations. On the afternoon of the 11th, a group of people sneakily left the USC Equipment Center. They were all pushing a small cart, and each cart was loaded with various photographic equipment.
On the Maclantok Avenue side, Ye Wei and a hired minivan were waiting, preparing to transport the equipment back home, which would also be tomorrow's set.
When he saw the sneaky figures of the eight Arhats, his eyes lit up and he immediately ran up, shouting with a smile: "Brothers, well done, I'm proud of you!"
He immediately took a look at the camera on Darum¡¯s trolley, the Sony HDC-F950, the second-generation digital camera just released this year, the best digital camera on the market now! Used with HDCAM-SR digital high-definition tape, it can achieve RGB full-bandwidth recording. Lucas used it to complete the filming of "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" this year!
"Wow, this is good, 'what you see is what you get', haha!" Ye Wei touched the camera body and marveled: "You know, the Japanese have done such a good thing."
After looking at the camera, he continued to look at other things, tripods, gimbals, Steadicams! Various lighting equipment, various radio equipment, portable TV monitors, walkie-talkiesand some clothespins, small pliers and other set gadgets. As he said, this is professionalism!
"Wow, baby, I missed you!"
At this time, he picked up a Fresnel lamp, a 1000-watt soft light. He hugged it like a lover, "Cool, guys, this is really cool."
This kid even knows the studio lingo of calling a 500-1000-watt soft light "BABY". If it hadn't been taught to him by his teacher, Darum and others wouldn't understand it. Why would he understand it? But they were used to it. They heard that his family had made a movie, and they probably learned it on the set at that time.
"Yes, as long as you like it"
"Hahahaha!" Ye Wei laughed heartily. With these treasures and this team, he can take all the images he wants in three days!
He picked up another electronic slate, clicked it, and looked forward to it!
¡¡
This evening, the pre-launch party of "Dance of Angels" was held at the "Good Taste Country" restaurant.
¡°Although we have saved a lot of money on equipment, there are dozens of people attending this time. Ye Wei naturally cannot take them to expensive places such as Michelin restaurants and Hilton hotels. He is the one who pays the bill.
But taking good care of the stomachs of the members is too important after all. Everyone is paid zero, not to mention the students, what do those amateur and semi-professional actors do for a living?
On the one hand, of course, it is because of hobbies, and secondly, because participating in these performances allows them to transcend ordinary daily life, experience something interesting, and live out the addiction of a filmmaker.
What if it¡¯s not enough? That would be demoralizing.
It was Bud who was a big help. His restaurant was closed for a day and the venue was cleared to entertain the "Dance of Angels" crew, charging only the cost price.
Ye Wei stipulated that the leading actors can bring their families, the close-up actors can come alone, and each of the eight Arhats can bring a friend. In addition, Lev and other members of the Dream Chaser Alliance have come to the scene, but they have to pay for it out of their own pockets. , the restaurant was still so packed with people that it was difficult to turn around, and they kept coming.
At this time, the restaurant was filled with laughter and laughter. Everyone was laughing and chatting in twos and threes, getting to know each other and building relationships.
This is a good start. Only when you identify yourself as a member of the team will you have a higher sense of responsibility and greater enthusiasm for work.
Anna¡¯s family is communicating with the two middle-aged actors who play Anna¡¯s parents. Ye Wei is very satisfied with this. After today, their feelings about the characters will definitely become better.
Toto and Bella are also here, running around and eating delicious food. Don¡¯t forget that Bella is also a starring role. It¡¯s important to make her happy, but she can¡¯t eat it up!
"Hmm" In the corner of the restaurant, Bud is eating crazily
"Hey, the weather is really nice today." On the other side, Lev mustered up the courage to go up and chat with the beautiful college student Susan. Susan responded "Yes", and Lev walked away with a silly smile, excited and scared! But this is where love begins, isn't it?
Kerwin was filming around with a DV player. These images will also be Ye Wei's lobbying materials. Look at this grand dinner, he organized it all by himself.
Chen Nuo, Li Ming and others were talking about something. Even the silliest nerd was infected by the lively atmosphere and became very excited.
"I just said Harvard-Westlake students are rich." Over there at the door, DaruMu Yousheng sighed, is it really just a short film for middle school students that will be released tomorrow? Now it¡¯s almost like an independent feature film.
Parela next to him suddenly saw something, "Look over there! What a playboy." Darum heard this and looked at the door. He could only see it because of the close distance. He saw Ye Wei welcoming a middle school girl who had just arrived. , that intimate look was obviously no ordinary friend, he said excitedly: "Oh, Anna is here too."
Are you going to stage a Mars collision with the Earth?
Ye Wei is very happy that Lily can come, because her mother's side also has a dinner event today. She said before that she was not sure whether she could come, but now she has turned down her mother's side and came here. He smiled and said, "Thank you for coming and making me look like a big shot."
"I just want to have a hearty meal, the kind of charity dinner where you can't eat anything." Lily joked and looked around, her eyes a little nervous, because his family members were also in the restaurant, and last month, She had a very rude and embarrassing encounter with them
Although we are ordinary alumni and there are so many people, but
Before the two of them could say a few words, Duoduo suddenly ran over and shouted: "Brother, brother!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Wei looked at her, and Lily also looked at this cute little girl. She suddenly felt relieved and smiled.
Duoduo said anxiously: "Bud has eaten a lot, I saw it." Ye Wei asked her to help keep an eye on Bud's food situation before.
"Forget it, let him be happy tonight." Ye Wei shrugged and pointed his palm at Lily: "Let me introduce you, this is Lily, my schoolmate." Lily bent down, stroked her head, and said hello : "Hey, Dorothy, I often hear your brother talking about you."
"It's you! The girl who ran away from our house that day!" Duoduo exclaimed, still remembering the incident last month, "You are my brother's girlfriend, right?"
"No" Ye Wei and Lily both laughed, but seeing him denying it so quickly, she frowned slightly.
Tonight was not the time for her to cause trouble. Ye Wei bent over and covered Duoduo's mouth, glaring and saying: "Don't talk nonsense, children don't understand, shut up!" Duoduo whined: "Mom ,Mother¡¡"
Unexpectedly, some people think that the excitement is not big enough, Anna! She saw it, she jumped over, looked at Lily, stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Hi, I'm AnnaSophia Robb!"
"Lily Collins." Lily shook hands with her and couldn't help but look at her, her eyes moving with something.
Anna wrinkled her nose and said seriously: "I just want you to know that Wei and I are also dating."
"Which Wei? Me?" Ye Wei exclaimed, looking at Lily. She had a weird smile. She didn't know whether she was angry or funny, but her eyes towards him clearly had a hint of unkindness, and her words seemed insincere: "I already know. , This is his freedom, I mean, we have nothing to do with it.¡±
"Hey, Darum, what do you want me to do?" Ye Wei suddenly looked at Darum over there, and walked over: "What? What lens? Here it comes."
When he came to Darum without looking back, he glanced at Lily and the others, and saw them laughing and chatting like friends. It was amazing
"Hi bad boy." Darum and Parela both laughed.
"Tell me, what lens are you asking me about?" Ye Wei looked at them in confusion. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
