- "Dad, Mom, it's okay. Don't worry about me. This change won't knock me down. It's just that an ugly and fragile bubble has burst. It's just time to find a real fruit again. I can impress Willy. Si, it can also impress other people! Anyway, I will not give up. This game is long and I will definitely win the final victory."
Soon after returning home, Ye Wei told his parents about today's major changes. He had already sorted out his mood and cheered up like "Anna", so he was smiling and full of confidence in his expression and words.
Only now did Gu Qiao understand why his son looked a little strange at noon; Ye Haogen also understood what Michelle said, "I seemed to see Wei at the door."
The couple felt very uncomfortable. They were worried, angry, sad, and depressed. Being happy for nothing was only the second best thing. What they were most worried about and concerned about was Wei's mood. He was only 16 years old, but he had to suffer this. Such setbacks, facing such an ugly world of intrigues, are all because of their incompetence
"Son, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Ye Haogen sighed, "Now dad has zero requirements for you, you have exceeded my expectations too much." Gu Qiao nodded: "Me too."
"Then how low are your expectations of me? Please!" Ye Wei spread his hands and laughed.
Although the son seems to be fine, the two of them can't rest assured. He has a stubborn temper and has carried everything by himself since he was a child. In the past, when his grandfather was still alive, he could still find someone to talk to. Now
Gu Qiao said with relief: "If you have anything, just tell us. Don't keep it in your heart. We are adults after all and can give you a lot of advice. If you don't like telling us, you can also talk to Teacher Ai Xi or Teacher Capson." Just don¡¯t face it alone, it¡¯s too unfair and too much for you.¡±
"Thank you, mom and dad, in my heart, you are the best parents in the world!"
Ye Wei hugged them each, then picked up Duoduo who didn't understand what was going on next to her. He smiled at her and said, "Brother only got a C this time in the exam. Next time he will get an A+."
"Oh!" Duoduo opened her mouth. She understood when she said this. This was not the first time! She knew that sentence well, "Brother, no one is perfect."
"Yes, you are right! Even if I am so handsome, I can't escape this law."
Ye Wei smiled and nodded, feeling warm in his heart. The Wei they loved was not perfect. He was a little naughty, a little aggressive, a little lustful, but he was not a despicable person, absolutely!
¡¡
It was past 2 o'clock in the morning in London, England, and Phil Collins was sleeping. When he was young, he played rock and roll almost all night long. Now that he is old, he feels like he will die if he stays up for several nights.
In the luxurious bedroom, the ringtone of a mobile phone rang without warning. It was his personal mobile phone. If the person with this number was not a family member or a very good friend, who would dare to disturb a rock star in the middle of the night? Want to be scolded?
"Oh, who is it" Phil Collins grabbed his hand on the bedside table. The wife next to him turned over and muttered, "You can't make a mistake, right?"
He looked at it in confusion and suddenly woke up. It was actually Lily calling!
This is really the first time. Lily has never called him at this point. She hasn¡¯t called him often in recent years. Did something happen?
He couldn't help but become nervous. He immediately connected the phone, put on a nightgown and left the bedroom, "Lily, what happened?"
Los Angeles, United States.
Lily's left index finger traced back and forth on the sofa, and she held the mobile phone in her right hand. Even though she was separated by a continent and an ocean, she still felt a little rushed. After coming to the United States at the age of 5, she had never asked her father to do anything, but this time Once upon a time, she had to do this
"Dad, I have something to tell you. It's very serious and important!"
"Of course, daddy will always be here."
On the other side, Phil Collins happily replied that it sounded like Lily had come to talk to him. Ever since his third marriage, his baby daughter seemed to be alienated from him. He wrote a song to make up for it, but it took a long time for him to find her. Did he say "important things"? More than four years.
What is it? Is her mother too strict? Does she miss England a bit? Does she want to hear him sing? These thoughts flashed past, and suddenly something bad happened, her love
He was surprised: "What about that boy? Ye Wei?"
"How do you know? Do you know!? The mysterious person is you?!" Lily almost shouted.
"What? What mysterious person? What are you talking about?" Phil Collins was confused and helpless. What other important things could his daughter have now? It was all about that movie boy. That boy is taking his daughter away! Damn boy
Lily said oh,He told the whole story, except for the mysterious man, and finally said sincerely: "I want to ask you to do a favor, call Willis, and tell them to stop if they really want to take revenge. Okay?"
The father over there became very silent. She took a deep breath and then lamented: "Dad, PLEASE!"
This sound of PLEASE evoked many memories for her, "Dad, PLEASE! Don't divorce mom, don't leave me, dad, PLEASE!", "Dad, why do you no longer love mom or me?" , "Dad, please, please."
Get back! Lily shook her head, suppressed those memory images, raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "This is the right thing, this is what a good person should do, isn't it?!"
"Yes" Phil Collins sighed, and his tone was serious: "But I have no relationship with Bruce Willis. I don't even have his private number. I am not their boss, nor the President of the United States. I It won¡¯t affect them, but I will try to mediate it, so you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
"When we finish talking, you help. Don't let those people act. He is so hard-working and talented. He doesn't deserve this. This world shouldn't work like this!"
Listening to his daughter¡¯s sincere and firm words, Collins smiled. He only hoped that she would never be harmed by those dangers. He, an unqualified father, would risk his life to protect her.
"I have another ideaDad, you have also seen "Dance of Angels". You know how good "Little Miss Sunshine" is, and "Little Miss Sunshine" is a project that Willis and the others are optimistic about. They think it can be filmed and can be boarded. Oscar stage! Isn¡¯t this a great investment opportunity?¡±
Lily¡¯s heart beat faster as she spoke. In fact, this idea just came to her, so it¡¯s not a good win-win solution! She smiled and said: "Why don't you invest? My only production budget is 5 million US dollars, which is more than 3 million pounds. Dad, do you have hundreds of millions of pounds? Instead of putting it in the bank, why not"
"Huh?" Phil Collins seemed to have heard a cold joke. He didn't laugh or not. He finally laughed and said: "Film investment is not a simple numbers game. Willis and others are willing to invest because They have the ability to produce and find distribution channels. With their connections and resources, they don¡¯t have to worry about making money.
And what about me? If that kid wants to make a record, I can support him and invest in him, and he will have a good path, but when it comes to movies, my ability is limited. "
"His name is Wei, not that boy!" Lily was a little angry, hearing her father's contempt. He had never thought highly of Wei, as if he had some prejudice. Maybe he really didn't understand movies, otherwise he wouldn't have acted in "Super Deception" ¡·That kind of bad movie
She said anxiously: "Don't you know many Disney executives? You also won an Oscar, and you also have connections! Dad, this really works! It's only 3 million pounds Think of it as my loan to you, I Come invest!¡±
"Three million pounds is not a small amount, Lily. Maybe you think this boy is very important now, but"
Phil Collins suddenly stopped talking, but fortunately he didn't continue, "But after a while, maybe you don't like him, or he doesn't like you anymore, and your relationship ended for some reason. Then you will I will regret the investment I made now.¡±
Although her father didn¡¯t finish what he said, Lily understood it, and suddenly a feeling of suffocation came to her heart. It was very uncomfortable. The most uncomfortable thing was that she couldn¡¯t refute.
Ever since her parents divorced, it can be said that she has not believed that there is such a thing as "forever" since she was a child. She doesn't know how long she and Wei will be together, and what will happen in the future She doesn't want to think about this, it's too serious. , it¡¯s too early, it¡¯s too hard to understand As long as I¡¯m happy now, it¡¯s fine now.
"Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it!" She shouted a few times, very angry: "I just want to say, old man, maybe you missed an opportunity to shine in the film industry, not with the soundtrack, but with the soundtrack Vision! When "Little Miss Sunshine" is released, don't tell me that you regret it, because regrets are useless! Just go to sleep, good night."
"Lily!"
Lily hung up the phone and took a deep breath to calm her complicated mood. She didn¡¯t want to see a psychiatrist again, but in recent months, she had lost control again and again
The phone dinged, and my father sent a text message: "I'm going to call Willis right now. Lily, your happiness is my father's greatest wish."
The biggest? Lily sneered, Dad, you missed "one".
Dad, Mom, I don¡¯t want you to separate, don¡¯t get divorced, PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! ¡
She shook her head, driving away the memory, and replied to the text message: "Tell Willis that compared to Wei, he is a despicable coward! He will regret it"?! "
¡¡
"How are you going to educate him?"
"That kid thinks he can be arrogant because he has some talent, haha. His talent is all in that "Dance of Angels". What if that is not his work?"
"You meanto discredit him? Say he plagiarized? I don't think so. He has a way to prove it. This will actually improve his reputation."
"It was a big-picture situation, and we just had to create a small-scale insider joke: 'We almost got ripped off.' The joke made it clear that Angel Dance was a prank by a bunch of USC college students. He teamed up with that Asian guy and wanted to prank people in Hollywood.
¡°As long as this joke spreads and becomes more true, many people will have the impression that he is a liar and he is here to tease Hollywood fools. No one wants to be a fool, especially the big shots. In this way, the kid doesn't even have a chance to lobby. People just don't see him, and he doesn't know why, haha.
??And if we use our power again, his opportunities will continue to decrease, and the path he can take will continue to be blocked. Every time he walks, it will be a strange failure. How was this class? "
"It's pretty good, but are you really not going to get "Little Miss Sunshine"? Bruce will be disappointed."
"Don't worry, let that kid taste the taste of failure first. When he becomes a drowned dog, we will give him some food and buy the "Little Miss Sunshine" project for 2 million! Don't be afraid that he won't sell it. People will change. , the younger he is and the more blows he gets, the easier it is to change. Maybe in a few days, the kid will beg us to forgive him and want to be a little Woody Allen.
¡°Wait, Bruce called me, let me hear what he said. "
"Well, say hello for me."
It took a while.
"I'm back, haha. The boy's little girlfriend asked her dad to help. The rock star called Bruce. He probably said that young people are not sensible and don't care about him. Bruce asked me not to mess with that boy. Just pretend he doesn¡¯t exist.¡±
"Then what do you say?"
"Phil Collins can't control us, and he can't bring us any benefits, so don't pay attention to him. And BruceArnold, this is not just Bruce's business, it's also our business. If we don't do something, we will really He has become a joke in the industry. I must educate this kid, he can¡¯t fight me, and no one can help him!¡±
"When Bruce finds out about it later, what will happen if he loses his temper?"
"He won't. As long as we bring the project over, he will only be happy. If we can really get an Oscar nomination, haha, your company will be waiting for capital injection."
"Sounds goodso when are you going to take action?"
"tonight."
¡¡
After dinner, Ye Wei returned to the room and sent a long text message to all the members of the Dream Chasing Alliance: "Because the Willis team changed their minds and thought that I was not suitable to be the producer and director of the project and wanted to send me It has been removed, so the cooperation between Dream Chaser Alliance and Cheyenne Enterprises is no longer a joke, I will continue to work hard, don¡¯t worry!¡±
He didn¡¯t make it clear what Willis¡¯ team was doing, but the news was enough to send everyone into a frenzy. Concerned and indignant text messages immediately flooded their phones.
Ye Wei was lying on the bed, texting and talking on the phone with them, and his heart became warmer and warmer. The Wei that his friends loved was not a despicable person.
Within an hour, guests came to the house, Lev, Bud, Cheno, and Kerwin, his four best friends, all came!
"Brother Wei, don't say anything!"
Ye Wei just came out to welcome them, and as soon as they met, Lev hugged him, "I love you!" Bud also hugged him, as did Chen Nuo, and Kerwin hesitated and hugged
On the lawn, five people huddled together. Ye Wei, who was hugged tightly in the middle, raised his head and shouted: "I'm not gay! Bud, your hands!"
"Oh, sorry, I thought you hid some food"
¡¡
"Mom, please, please! Help Wei!"
When her mother came back in the evening, Lily told her the cause and effect again, and then she began to beg. It was much more natural for her to beg her mother, but it never had any effect
At this time in the hall, Tawerman sighed: "I believe Willis will not retaliate, but there is really nothing we can do about Lovett and those people. To be honest, I can't help Wei."
Lily suddenly became angry again, "Then you can always introduce Wei to some other big shots, right? Willis is not the only superstar in this world!"
"Willis is not the only superstar, but there are many othersThe boss will give him face, give Lovett and others face, and this project is too weird and the risk is too high for a teenage director! Even if anyone is interested, few dare to seize this kind of investment opportunity.
And those who don¡¯t have to worry about Willis¡¯s feelings, they don¡¯t have the need, so why should they get involved in this matter? money? reputation? None of them are lacking; help young people? A reputation for having a good eye? I really don¡¯t know who would have such leisureso"
Tawerman shook his head, "I think it's best not to lobby superstars to join and raise funds, but to think of other ways."
Lily frowned and was very angry, but she knew that her mother was right, and she couldn't help but become a little frustrated. Now that Willis is one of the top five paid figures in Hollywood, he can have no worries about his stars, and they are only in the 20 million salary club. People
Stroking her daughter's hair, Tawerman comforted her: "Actually, the current situation is very normal. I have had a premonition that nothing in the world will go so smoothly, and it will be such a crazy thing."
"Mom, if we invest?" Lily expressed this idea again, but their family is not as rich as her father's family, and her mother is probably
"Your father told me this idea of ??yours, no, it won't work." Sure enough, my mother refused directly and said: "He is right, this is not suitable for you, it really is not suitable."
Lily¡¯s face was heavy, ¡°But it¡¯s obviously a good investment, and I think it will have a high return Let¡¯s invest 1 million?¡±
"No, no means no, don't come up with such crooked ideas!"
¡¡
¡°You¡¯ll-Be-In-My-Heart¡± played on the TV, and a montage began on the screen.
That honest face was touched and excited, and his eyes were slightly moist.
When he finished watching the 10-minute film, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "The filming was great!" He is indeed a young man with outstanding talents. He is the director, producer, screenwriter, editor, and soundtrack. It's awesome. What film school graduate? Awesome¡
"Tom, what are you looking at?"
"A perfect short film, Rita. I often say that the film industry has buried countless talents. Like this young man, he has such talent and still needs to find opportunities! But when I see it, he will not be Buried, I want to see him, the filming is awesome, maybe we found another "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". I don't know if Bruce Willis has beaten him to it, I hope I still have a chanceetc. , wait Harvard-West Lake School? Ye Wei is a high school student?"
There was a look of shock on his face!
"Hahayou mean a high school student made a short film that shocked you?"
