Las Vegas is very luxurious, and the Venetian Hotel is like a paradise. It is preparing to set off festive fireworks at midnight to add excitement to the sleepless nights of tourists. Las Vegas is also very ugly. Not far from the paradise to the north, there is a A low-rise two-story motel called the Mirador has only about 30 rooms and a parking lot, and nothing else.
One of the rooms on the second floor, although simple, was still neat and tidy. Ye Wei spent the night here.
He was lying on the single bed, his excitement gradually calming down. He was chatting with Lily on his mobile phone, and naturally he started talking about short films.
Lily's clear and happy laughter came from the mobile phone: "Their expressions are so funny. My dad, he was completely shocked, as if asking 'What's going on? What's going on?' Haha! My sister and my brother, they couldn't believe it either." , and then they couldn't help but praise the short film and you, Nicholas cried when watching it, and Orian was also very moved
¡°When I got back to my mom, I asked her, ¡®Mom, how do you like this? ¡¯ She was speechless, not even a word! But she must know how wrong and stupid her previous views were. Oh, Madam Chairman, you made a mistake! Don¡¯t do it again, this is your daughter¡¯s advice, haha! "
"Cool! Smart!" Ye Wei couldn't help but feel excited when he heard that Lily was even more excited than him, and asked with a smile: "What about you? Are you really not crying?"
"No" Lily's laughter paused and her tone was playful: "Only a little, her eyes are a little moist."
"I knew it! I knew you were not a cold-blooded animal!" Ye Wei suddenly cheered.
It¡¯s already early morning in Manhattan, New York, and the streets are still lively. One of the bedrooms in a luxury suite at the five-star Waldorf Astoria Hotel is brightly lit.
Lily was lying on the luxurious bed, covered with a white quilt, her long brown hair scattered on the pillow, holding her mobile phone and laughing: "New York is so cold, it's almost turning me into a cold-blooded animal Oh, I It¡¯s past midnight here, but, Merry Christmas!¡±
"I haven't yet I have a genius idea. If we keep retreating to the west, wouldn't we be celebrating Christmas every day? Wow!"
"But the earth is round!"
While they were joking, she suddenly heard some faint noises coming from his side, which seemed to be coming from outside the room. Didn't he say he was staying at Caesars Palace Hotel? How could this happen? She frowned in confusion and asked, "Where do you live?"
"Well, you heard itthere were a few drunk guys walking by outside. Actually, I was in a small hotel and the environment was pretty good."
"What?" Lily sat up suddenly and looked at the classical and luxurious surroundings. Looking out to the balcony, she could also see the beautiful moonlight. Everything was so high-end She felt sad for him, and he was even more excited. She is qualified to enjoy these, but now, she can only say gently: "Then please pay attention to safety."
"It's okay. I've already yelled at you before. Not a single gangster came out to challenge you. But you should be more careful over there. There are a lot of gangsters in New York."
¡°I don¡¯t know, there are a lot of police in New York, right?¡±
Ye Wei didn¡¯t say much about this topic. He said with excitement, ¡°I haven¡¯t told you Willis¡¯s reaction in detail yet. When he saw me appearing, he almost killed someone¡±
Lily was of course very interested in this. She listened to what he said for a long time. Although she was amused from time to time, she could still feel the excitement of the process. It wasn't until he finished speaking that she said with anticipation and admiration: "You're doing a great job lobbying. Do you know when Willis will reply?¡±
"The fastest I have to wait for this holiday is over, but it shouldn't be soon. Willis needs to think about it and discuss it with his company partners and agents. If I'm lucky, I guess I can get one or two meetings. , the chance to finally convince them.¡±
"I have a feeling that you will convince them! In that case, you will really create a huge miracle!" Lily is now more optimistic than him, looking forward to the future, "One of the youngest film directorscompared to you , my youngest dream of being a talk show host is so far behind.¡±
She said a little self-deprecatingly, "I talked to my mother, and she said that I should wait until I am 18 before I think about working. No matter what I want to do, I can't even think about it before I am 18."
¡°Sometimes you have to admit that not everyone is a genius.¡±
"I admit it, you are a narcissistic genius."
"But the short film will make you cry"
"Just a little bit!" Lily smiled and turned over, lying on the bed, raising her feet and kicking them gently, "What will happen if Willis agrees to cooperate with you?"
"Well, let me think about itthat's great, but there is so much to do. Joining the superstars is just the beginning. How to raise funds and whether to do overseas pre-sales depends on the specific cooperation."Plan. I wanted to shoot with a digital camera so that it would be easier for others to trust me. Film sounds too serious and old, and it doesn¡¯t make much difference. Even Star Wars: Episode I used digital photography! Hehe, in that case, raising 3 million US dollars would be enough. Of course, the more money, the better. The first goal is 5 million US dollars! Next comes the preliminary preparations"
Ye Wei became excited as he spoke, letting the alarm in his heart stop for a moment and immersing himself in the beautiful prospects.
"With Willis on board, it will be much easier to find other well-known actors to star. Maybe we can create a super strong cast! Think about it, how about De Niro playing the grandfather and Roberts playing the mother! Haha , Tim Roth plays the uncle? Cool! I love his performance!¡±
In the past, Lily would have thought he was exaggerated and unhappy after hearing these words, but now, she is dreaming sweetly, "How about Johnny Depp?"
¡°Please, of course not, I don¡¯t want to be the second most handsome person on set.¡±
"Ha, you want me to say that you will still be the most handsome? No! Depp is the most handsome!" Lily laughed, and Ye Wei's laughter came from the phone: "Then his daughter Lily-Depp is also prettier than you. "More, right?" Lily smiled: "Maybe, but her eyebrows are definitely not as thick as mine, haha!"
Just as the two of them were laughing happily, Ye Wei suddenly said: "Wait, there's someone knocking on the door, I'll go take a look"
"Be careful!" Lily exclaimed immediately, as some images of home invasions, robberies, and murders flashed before her eyes. "If it's someone wearing black clothes, don't open the door!"
"Let me take a look, oh" Ye Wei looked out through the door of the motel room and saw a scantily clad young girl standing outside the door. This girl was mediocre in appearance. He had no interest in opening the door and joking, so he shouted Saying "I don't need it", he walked back to the bed, smiled into the phone and said: "It's not black clothes, it's a prostitute. She asked me if I want any services."
"Of course, why should I agree to her?" Ye Wei jumped back on the bed, and Lily on the other side smiled sheepishly: "Who knew you had so many pornographic magazines" Ye Wei shouted: "Send them all out. , that POR-MAN (porn master) is already POOR-MAN (poor man)."
Lily laughed a few times and asked, "You're going back to Los Angeles tomorrow, right?" He said yes, and she couldn't help but said, "The vacation is still a long time away, but I kind of want to go back."
"Why?" Ye Wei was confused. If he didn't want to stay in New York, he would go back to Los Angeles, a big country? He asked: "Are you unhappy? You can tell me."
"No, it's just that it's cold here." Lily didn't want to say she was unhappy, nor did she want to think about him
"Then wear more clothes. My vacation plans have to be adjusted. "Wedding Day", my family's bad movie, Willis already knows about it. If he further learns how bad it is, it will really affect my image. So I have to seize the time, start re-editing it, and rush to make a better version, which can be used to prove innocence at any time.¡±
"Good preparation, do you have any ideas?"
Ye Wei blinked his eyes when he heard this, calmed down the thoughts in Wen's heart, and replied: "There are not many choices. Since it is so bad, let it be as bad as possible! My positioning of the new version is to spoof the nonsensical idiot inferior wedding cult movie. That's what the movie is. , when it is bad to a certain level, it will be good again.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t quite understand, come on, cut it and show it to me.¡±
"How about we go on a date and watch it together? But we can't go to the cinema, so we have to stay in a room with a TV"
"Ha, ha OK!"
"Hey girl, let's talk about Christmas. Fun stories from our past. You know one year, my socks made Santa Claus faint, and he fainted next to my bed."
"No way?"
"It's true! After he woke up, he grabbed me and said, 'Man, don't do this, okay? You should wash it, these socks stink worse than red socks!'"
The two chatted and laughed, talked about the past, and talked about the future. Lily's cell phone gradually ran out of battery, and she continued to chat through the phone receiver until the early morning in Vegas and the middle of the night in New York. The two of them hadn't chatted enough yet, and they kept talking more and more. The more energetic you are, the more you taste the joy of success, the joy of festivals, and the sweetness of youth.
"Haha! Don't say that, oh no no, I will ignore you, haha"
Bursts of conversation came softly from her daughter's bedroom for several hours. Tawerman had to intervene and knocked on the door with a frown: "Lily, aren't you asleep yet?"
"Shh" In the bedroom, Lily shushed and covered the phone, looking up at the door, not intending to answer. But her mother's voice rang again: "I heard you talking on the phone." Lily responded helplessly."Mom, ignore me, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I was woken up by you. It's 3 o'clock in the morning! Stop talking and go to bed quickly."
"Okay, I got it!" Lily pretended to agree. When her mother's footsteps went away, she let go of the phone and said softly, "Are you still here?"
"Um."
Lily continued to talk about the topic with a smile: "That incident was not my fault, actually"
"Lily!!" In the corridor, Tawarman suddenly heard the conversation again, and immediately walked back angrily.
"Mom, you are so mean!" Lily yelled in anger, forgetting to cover the mouth of the microphone, "Today is Christmas, so just don't worry about it, okay? Go to sleep!"
Ye Wei was startled by something over there, "Oh, I forgot, it's past three o'clock in New York, Lily, good night! Wait there's another knock on the door, and it's a prostitute again! It's just a joke, good night!"
"No, Wei, don't hang up" Lily said urgently. She was quiet for a while. When her mother's footsteps went away again, she rolled her eyes and covered herself with the quilt from head to toe, and also put a few He folded the pillow on top of his head and said very softly: "Are you still there?"
"It's still there, but it's really late over there."
"Let's talk for another half hour and let me finish this"
"Okay, I also want to know the truth"
In the corridor outside, Tawerman turned back silently, put his ear to the door and listened. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but this time he didn't say anything more and turned back to his room.
